‘Haunted’ by Hearing Other Views, UNC Faculty’s Revolt, Pentagon Tortures Language Over Gaza

by

Listen to “‘Haunted’ by Hearing Other Views, UNC Faculty’s Revolt, Pentagon Tortures Language Over Gaza” on Spreaker.

It’s an all-crazy day as Jim and Greg discuss the unhinged political intolerance of a former mainstream media reporter, professors withholding grades over the consequences for anti-Israel protests, & tortured language and logic at the Pentagon over our policy in Gaza.
First, they sigh as former NBC News and CNN reporter Michelle Kosinski goes on a Twitter rant about how she is “haunted” by a dinner she had with people she refers to as “closeted MAGAts.” Why? Because some were Ivy League grads who didn’t want to send their kids there and others disagreed with the left’s climate change narrative.
Next, they rip the faculty members at the University of North Carolina who are threatening not to turn in end-of-semester grades for any of their students unless the school reverses the suspensions of 15 students for breaking the law during the anti-Israel demonstrations. The UNC provost recommends sanctions against any instructor who does not turn in grades on time. Which side will blink?
Finally, they unload on Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and the Biden administration for torturing language and logic, as Austin claims the 1,000 U.S. military personnel who will be constructing a pier on the Gaza coast will not be considered “boots on the ground.”

Real World Consequences for Columbia, The Bogus Hamas Ceasefire, Dems & Race

by

Listen to “Real World Consequences for Columbia, The Bogus Hamas Ceasefire, Dems & Race” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg, who actually have a good martini today, along with an absurdly bad one, and some crazy double standards for Democrats.

First, they welcome thirteen federal judges warning Columbia University that they will no longer accept the school’s students as law clerks after the trespassing protests that commandeered a building and university leaders allowed it all to happen. They do want to make sure that students who didn’t break the law don’t get punished for the crimes of others, but it is a warning to Columbia that if it wants to be taken seriously, the worst elements on campus cannot be calling the shots.

Next, they roll their eyes as Hamas agrees to a Middle East ceasefire that had never been on the table. Jim labels the plan an unacceptable counterproposal and explains why. He also blasts much of the mainstream media for proclaiming that Hamas had agreed to the deal and putting the pressure on Israel to consent to it.

Finally, they note racial rhetoric from two Democrats that got some pushback but would have likely meant the end of any Republican’s political career. The latest comes from New York Gov. Kathy Hochul who claimed that kids on the Bronx don’t even know the word “computer.” They also note Maryland Rep. David Trone, who is also running for U.S. Senate, using a racial slur during a committee hearing back in March. Trone says he uttered the wrong word, and it’s likely that he did, but we all know the political volcano that would have ensued if a GOP lawmaker had said it.

Biden’s Ammo Pause for Israel, Rep. Cuellar Indicted for Bribery, Gov. Noem Keeps Digging

by

Listen to “Biden’s Ammo Pause for Israel, Rep. Cuellar Indicted for Bribery, Gov. Noem Keeps Digging” on Spreaker.

There are no good martinis to start the week but Jim and Greg have plenty to discuss about President Biden playing hardball with Israel over ammunition, a seemingly sane House Democrat getting indicted on bribery charges, and South Dakota Gov. just making things worse as she tries to promote her new book.

First, they fume over reports that Biden has paused the delivery of some U.S.-made ammunition to Israel, with no explanation from the White House or anyone else. Is this designed to discourage Israel from going into Rafah to eradicate Hamas? Whatever the reason, an explanation is warranted.

Then, they discuss the indictments aimed at Texas Rep. Henry Cuellar and his wife Imelda over them allegedly accepting $600,000 in bribes from an energy firm connected with the Azerbaijan government. If it’s true, Cuellar obviously ought to be prosecuted. But are Democrats also eager to oust the Democrat most likely to make common cause with Republicans on the border and other issues?

Finally, they have multiple observations about South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem’s failed attempts to stop the political bleeding over revelations in her new book. From dog killing to whether she ever met with North Korean dictators Kim Jon Un, the answers on “Face the Nation” Sunday were less than impressive – and further proof she won’t be and shouldn’t be nominated for vice president.

Trump’s VP Short List? Economic Warning Signs, Biden Adds DACA to Obamacare

by

Listen to “Trump’s VP Short List? Economic Warning Signs, Biden Adds DACA to Obamacare” on Spreaker.

Jim and Greg finish a very long and busy week by mulling over the four names reported to be on Trump’s VP short list, some concerning signs in the April jobs report, and President Biden taking a page from Barack Obama’s guide to political pandering.

First, they consider the pros and cons of the four figures reported to be under serious consideration to be Donald Trump’s running mate. What benefits do North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, and Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance potentially bring to the ticket and what are their liabilities?

Next, they size up the April jobs report – which showed positive job growth but not as much as expected. Plus, they highlight the massive number of Americans who have stopped looking for work and dropped out of the labor force.

Finally, they discuss President Biden’s election year ploy to add DACA recipients (people who were brought to the U.S. illegally by their parents) to Obamacare. And guess who gets to pay for those health care bills?

Memoir Backlash Dogs Kristi Noem, FBI’s Flawed Crime Numbers, Media Fawn Over Biden

by

Listen to “Memoir Backlash Dogs Kristi Noem, FBI’s Flawed Crime Numbers, Media Fawn Over Biden” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg today as they chronicle South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem murdering her chances to become Trump’s running mate, why the FBI’s claims of falling crime rates are seriously flawed, and the media praising President Biden for preserving a free press when his actions suggest exactly the opposite.

First, they dig into the four-day firestorm of criticism against South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, after it was revealed in her forthcoming autobiography that years ago she shot a 14-month-old dog when it failed as a hunting dog. They’re also critical of Noem and hope this development takes her out of the running for the GOP vice presidential nomination since her previous personal and policy decisions already ought to disqualify her.

Next, they groan as the FBI fails to get an accurate picture of crime rates across the nation by forcing local police to enter data in such a cumbersome way that some big cities don’t enter crime statistics at all. And even in the cities where authorities do submit crime numbers, the FBI is still reporting lower numbers than local officials are announcing. Bottom line: the left’s narrative that crime is plummeting (allegedly to 50-year lows) is dead wrong.

Finally, they roll their eyes as NBC’s Kelly O’Donnell lavishes praise on President Biden, saying his mere presence at the White House Correspondents Dinner is a strong defense of free speech and a free press. The Biden’s administration’s track record tells a very different story.

Biden’s Pandering Backfires, The Looming TikTok ‘Ban,’ Opposing DEI Attacks Democracy?

by

Listen to “Biden’s Pandering Backfires, The Looming TikTok ‘Ban,’ Opposing DEI Attacks Democracy?” on Spreaker.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour Host Scot Bertram is in for Jim. Today, Scot and Greg serve up at least one good martini, one that has the potential to be very good, and a really crazy one starring Stacey Abrams.

First, they laugh as new Bloomberg poll numbers show President Biden’s blatant pandering to Muslim voters in Michigan by verbally attacking Israel at every opportunity is showing small signs of success in that state but it’s also causing Donald Trump to grow his lead in virtually every other battleground state.

Next, they are cautiously optimistic about recently passed legislation that forces TikTok’s parent company to sell the app or have it banned in the U.S. TikTok is well documented to be Chinese Communist Party spyware that harvests personal and national security data while getting millions of Americans – especially young people – addicted to the content, much of which is very harmful. But they also want to be sure this new law does not end up stifling online speech in any way.

Then, they get a kick out twice-failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams stating that opposition to the implementation of the DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) agenda in schools is an attack on our democracy. They enjoy seeing how the Democrats now see any position contrary to their agenda as a threat to democracy – and the insanity doesn’t stop there.

Lastly, these two beleaguered Chicago Bears fans look ahead to Thursday’s NFL Draft, in which the Bears have the first pick. Scot is optimistic about the team that’s being assembled and Greg is just waiting to see how the Bears will squander this opportunity.

Make the Houthis Terrorists Again, NPR Embraces Leftist Label, Biden’s Latest Lies

by

Listen to “Make the Houthis Terrorists Again, NPR Embraces Leftist Label, Biden’s Latest Lies” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they sound off on some good news out of the House of Representatives and some really crazy news about taxpayer-funded media and President Biden’s latest whoppers.
First, they’re glad to see a big bipartisan majority in the House of Representatives vote to declare the Iran-backed Houthis to be a “Foreign Terrorist Organization” again. If the Senate also passes it, Jim and Greg hope Biden will the sign the bill and not stubbornly stick to his decision to reverse President Trump designation of the Houthis as a Foreign Terrorist Organization.
Then, they wince as National Public Radio (NPR) basically forces longtime editor Uri Berliner out after he publicly scolded NPR for engaging in partisan politics by stifling stories like the Hunter Biden laptop and the origins of COVID while reporting Rep. Adam Schiff’s version of the Trump-Russia investigation as the truth. Instead, leaders there are proving most of Berliner’s accusations true and embracing leftist narratives. They also recoil at a TED Talk that new NPR CEO Katherine Maher delivered about how we all have our own truths and that building consensus is more important than pursuing truth.
Finally, they groan as President Biden repeatedly tells the thoroughly disproven story of his uncle allegedly getting by cannibals in New Guinea during World War II. And Biden also claims he told Israel not to go into Haifa – which is an Israeli city. But Jim says the statement is also very  problematic on another level.

GOP Ousting Another Speaker? The Left’s WNBA Pay Grievance, Can’t Say ‘Illegal Alien’

by

Listen to “GOP Ousting Another Speaker? The Left’s WNBA Pay Grievance, Can’t Say ‘Illegal Alien'” on Spreaker.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour Host Scot Bertram is in for Jim. Today, Scot and Greg serve up three crazy martinis ranging from Capitol Hill to women’s sports to the high school classroom.

First, they sigh as some House Republicans vow to move forward on trying to remove House Speaker Mike Johnson over his handling of the House agenda – and what his critics call passing the Democrats’ agenda. There are valid criticisms of Johnson’s decisions, positions, and priorities on some issues, but what would removing another Speaker of the House accomplish now, when Republicans have an even smaller majority than they did when Johnson was elected?

Next, they roll their eyes as President Biden and others on the left try to pander to women by demanding WNBA players get equal pay with the men in the NBA. Of course the big wage disparity has nothing to do with the sex of the players but whether their league is profitable. The NBA makes billions of dollars each year. The WNBA has lost money for its entire existence.

Finally, they highlight the case of a North Carolina high school student who was suspended for three days for asking his teacher whether the word “alien” in his vocabulary lesson referred to space aliens or people who come into the U.S. with no green cards.

Florida vs. Traffic-Blocking Protesters, Dems Meddling in GOP Primaries, Trump Judge’s ‘Unforced Error’

by

Listen to “Florida vs. Traffic-Blocking Protesters, Dems Meddling in GOP Primaries, Trump Judge’s ‘Unforced Error'” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they discuss the right approach towards anti-Israel protesters blocking traffic. Plus, they take on Dems trying to nominate unelectable Republicans again and the New York judge who may refuse to let Donald Trump attend his son’s graduation.

First, they fume over pro-Palestinian (often overtly pro-Hamas) demonstrators shutting down traffic on the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City, and the roads leading to O’Hare International Airport in Chicago. But they also highlight how Florida officials quickly thwarted similar disruptions in and around Miami.

Next, they raise warmings that Democrats are once again trying to meddle in Republican primaries by purporting to campaign on behalf of candidates that the activists on the left think will be easier to defeat in the general election. The latest mischief is happening in a House swing district in Pennsylvania.

Finally, they shake their heads as the judge in Donald Trump’s New York City hush money trial says that Trump will be arrested if he misses any days in court. He also would not commit to allowing Trump to attend his son’s high school graduation next month.

Fixing the Cost of College: Make Schools Back up Loans, GOP Needs a Plan, The Enrollment Cliff

by

Listen to “Fixing the Cost of College: Make Schools Back up Loans, GOP Needs a Plan, The Enrollment Cliff” on Spreaker.

President Biden is once again touting his unconstitutional efforts to transfer the student loan debt from those who took out the loans to the taxpayers who did not. It’s not just illegal, it’s immoral. And there are much better ways to address the problem. Today, Jim and Greg examine three different areas worthy of much more attention.

First, they cheer Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for arguing that colleges and universities should back up the cost of student loans if their graduates are not able to find jobs with high enough salaries to pay them back. He says it’s not only right because the schools benefit immensely from student loans but it would also force schools to focus on subjects in which their students can find good jobs.

Next, they also welcome their friend Inez Stepman’s idea of taxing the endowments of colleges and universities, instead of allowing schools to treat them like hedge funds. Beyond that, they implore Republicans to come up with a coherent message other than opposition to what Biden is doing. Americans are furious about Biden’s shifting of this debt onto the rest of taxpayers, but without an actual plan to address the problem, Republicans are not doing taxpayers or themselves any favors.

Finally, they note the coming higher education “enrollment cliff,” as the number of high school graduates is expected to drop considerably in the next few years. Will that refocus the priorities of these universities? And how will greater interest in trade schools impact all of this?
