Kamala Mangles MSNBC Interview, NYC Mayor Indicted, Biden Gaslights on Retirement

by

Listen to “Kamala’s Confusing MSNBC Interview, NYC Mayor Adams Indicted, Biden Gaslights on 2024 Decision” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they assess Kamala’s weak performance on MSNBC, New York City Mayor Eric Adams getting indicted in a federal foreign bribery case, and President Biden trying to gaslight America and the world about why he’s not still running for president.
First, they get a kick out of Kamala Harris struggling mightily to answer very basic questions from MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle. Harris seemed to have no insights on tariffs or what she would do if Congress didn’t pass a corporate tax increase if she were elected. She also delivered another notorious word salad. Jim and Greg debate whether her poor performance is due to incompetence or an attempt to conceal her radical agenda.
Next, they react to New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ federal indictment for allegedly taking bribes from Turkish officials to expedite a questionable construction project. They discuss the implosion of Adams’ administration, whether his criticism of the migrant crisis played a role in the indictment, and the disgraced figure who may be eyeing a political comeback.
Finally, they debunk President Biden’s claim that his decision to step down in July was a selfless move for the good of the nation. Jim and Greg argue that Biden’s narrative, presented during his U.N. speech and appearance on The View, overlooks pressure from top Democrats pushing him out of the 2024 race.

Kamala Wants to Kill the Filibuster, Harris Keeps Hedging, Kamala Rewards Ruhle

by

Listen to “Kamala Wants to Kill the Filibuster, Harris Keeps Hedging, Kamala Rewards Ruhle” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they serve up all bad and crazy martinis. Today, they discuss Kamala Harris wanting to kill the Senate filibuster to codify Roe v. Wade, her ongoing refusal to confirm whether she still holds the same positions on several controversial issues, and MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle landing an interview with Harris just days after publicly saying that Harris doesn’t need to answer tough questions because Donald Trump is such a threat to our nation.

First, they dive into the vice president’s call to suspend the Senate filibuster to codify Roe v. Wade into federal law. Senators Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema  – the one-time Democrats who prevented their colleagues from killing the filibuster in the previous Congress – immediately denounced the idea. Jim and Greg explain why ending the filibuster would set a dangerous precedent, ultimately allowing Democrats to dismantle it for all legislative priorities.

They then shift to Harris’s refusal to confirm whether her views on controversial issues like the death penalty, citizenship for some illegal immigrants, and decriminalizing sex work have changed. Despite repeated questions, the Vice President also avoids discussing her stance on a California ballot initiative that would increase penalties for minor theft and drug crimes. Jim and Greg not only blast her for trying to obscure her radical positions, but somehow wind up venting about Democrats – and a few Republicans – who failed to keep their word back in the ’80s and ’90s.

Finally, they roll their eyes as MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle lands an interview with Harris just days after Ruhle went on “Real Time with Bill Maher” and said Harris didn’t need to answer tough questions or clarify policy positions because Trump is so horrible that voting for Harris was an obvious choice. Could this interview be anything other than an Oprah-style campaign ad?

Improving GOP Senate Outlook, Walz’s COVID Catastrophe, Schumer Derelict on Spending

by

Listen to “Improving GOP Senate Outlook, Walz’s COVID Catastrophe, Schumer Derelict on Spending” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they look at how the GOP’s odds for a U.S. Senate majority seem to be improving, how Tim Walz was a massive failure on COVID deaths in nursing homes and much more, and how Chuck Schumer utterly failed to do his most important job – but will still emerge as a winner.

First, they welcome a new Scott Rasmussen poll (different than Rasmussen Reports) that shows Montana Republican Senate candidate Tim Sheehy with a growing lead over incumbent Democrat Jon Tester. And several other races are inching further in the direction of Republicans. They also rail against the media for constantly labeling Democrats like Pennsylvania’s Bob Casey and Virginia’s Tim Kaine as “moderates” even though they vote along with the Biden administration’s position almost all the time.

Next, they discuss reporting that shows Minnesota’s nursing home death rate from COVID was the worst in the nation under Tim Walz, due in large part to his demand that those facilities accept COVID patients after they left the hospital. Jim points out that mainstream media seem thoroughly uninterested in Walz’s actual record as governor and are much more content to lazily play into the image of him as a regular guy.

Finally, they groan as Congress appears on the verge of another continuing resolution to keep the government open. But they also highlight Speaker Mike Johnson’s point that the House passed 12 separate appropriations bills in committee – also known as regular order – and the Senate ignored the House legislation and passed no spending bills on its own. So Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer didn’t do anything to fulfill the most important function of the legislative branch.

Biden’s Middle East Bungling, Why Kamala Wants Another Debate, Walz Won’t Mind His Business

by

Listen to “Biden’s Middle East Bungling, Why Kamala Wants Another Debate, Walz Won’t Mind His Business” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they take on three big martinis, as they discuss the escalating war between Israel and Hezbollah and how Biden botched the Israel-Hamas talks, why Kamala Harris is so eager to have another debate with Donald Trump, how Tim Walz wants to be in your face about politics, and much more.

First, they document the latest developments in the fighting between Israel and Hezbollah and remind the media Hezbollah was firing a lot of rockets into Israel long before the pager explosions last week. They also highlight a Wall Street Journal story saying there probably won’t be an Israel-Hamas ceasefire during Biden’s presidency and that Biden’s team is finally coming to realize what we knew all along – Hamas doesn’t want a deal.

Next, they react to Vice President Harris accepting an invitation to a CNN presidential debate on October 23. So far, Trump is declining the offer. But after two months of campaign fluff and avoiding press conferences and most interviews, why is Harris so intent on another debate?

Meanwhile, Greg reported back in 2020 that the State of Michigan sent an absentee voter application to his childhood address, meaning he was (and maybe still is) on Michigan’s voter rolls more than 20 years after moving out of the state. Now there’s another story of Michigan voter roll insanity that’s even worse.

Finally, they shake their heads as Minnesota Gov. Tim “Mind Your Own Damn Business” Walz now thinks you need to confront people in the grocery store about this election and tells those who just want to stay away from politics that they don’t have that option.

DeSantis Makes Sense on Trump Probe, Cringeworthy Questioning of Kamala, Is Trump’s Golf to Blame?

by

Listen to “DeSantis Makes Sense on Trump Probe, Pathetic Media Panders to Kamala, Is Trump’s Golf to Blame?” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they applaud Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for his deeper explanation for why Florida definitely needs to be conducting its own investigation into this past weekend’s attempted assassination of Donald Trump. They also discuss the pathetic question aimed at Kamala Harris in a rare interview opportunity and the weak argument that Donald Trump’s love of golf is making him more vulnerable to being attacked.

First, they agree with Gov. DeSantis that state officials do need to be conducting their own investigation because there are some pertinent charges that federal prosecutors cannot pursue but state officials can. And while any prosecution ought to be based on the facts, limiting charges to just a couple of federal gun crimes hardly seems sufficient for a man caught trying to kill a former president who is also currently a major party nominee for president.

Next, they groan as one of the panelists interviewing Kamala Harris at a National Association of Black Journalists event asks her the brutally tough question, “Why is joy important to you to insert into this election?” Jim notes that opportunities to question Harris are few and far between so you shouldn’t be wasting them on things like that when there are many critical issues worth addressing.

Finally, they cast a skeptical eye on a Politico story suggesting that Donald Trump is putting himself in danger by continuing to play golf, supposedly because it puts a major strain on Secret Service personnel to secure the large amount of space involved. They don’t doubt that it is challenging but many presidents have been avid players and Secret Service never seemed to complain about his before.

Paging Hezbollah, Hillary Demands More Anti-Trump Media, Are Teamsters Two-Timing Trump?

by

Listen to “Paging Hezbollah, Hillary Demands More Anti-Trump Media, Are Teamsters Two-Timing Trump?” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they discuss many Hezbollah figures being injured by exploding pagers, Hillary Clinton demanding a more negative media “narrative” about Donald Trump, and the Teamsters Union on the brink of an endorsement.

First, they marvel once again at the ingenuity of (probably) Israeli operatives getting explosives into pagers, the pagers into the hands of thousands of Hezbollah figures, and then detonating them simultaneously. It’s the latest in a very creative summer for Israeli intelligence…or whoever carried out these attacks.

Next, they groan as Hillary Clinton is back in public demanding the media carry out a more “consistent narrative” of how “dangerous” Donald Trump is and the threat he allegedly poses to the country and the world. She also continues to blame her 2016 loss to Trump on Russian disinformation. And in addition to confronting international political mischief, Hillary also called for civil and criminal prosecution for Americans found disseminating what she considers misinformation or disinformation.

Finally, they shake their heads at the apparent likelihood that the Teamsters Union will offer an endorsement this week and that Kamala Harris seems more likely to get the nod based on what union boss Sean O’Brien is saying. If that happens, Jim says Republicans should learn a big lesson from handing over a critical hour on the first night of the convention to a guy who bashed right to work and business leaders.

Trump Targeted for Assassination…Again

by

Listen to “Trump Targeted for Assassination…Again” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they dissect an assassination attempt against Donald Trump for the second time this summer. Today, they walk through the disturbing details of what happened in Florida on Sunday, the callous reaction in the media and beyond, and some of the bright spots that we can also see.

First, they walk through a lot of the facts in this case as laid out by law enforcement. There seems to have been a much more competent response than there was in Pennsylvania. But some frustrating questions still linger based on what what we know so far.

Next, they highlight media figures like NBC’s Lester Holt and MSNBC’s Alex Witt appearing to blame Trump’s rhetoric for the latest attempt against his life and suggesting it’s Trump who needs to tone down his statements.

Finally, they’re thankful for a very observant U.S. Secret Service agent whose vigilance stopped the threat to Trump’s life before it could materialize. They’re also grateful to learn Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis plans to have state authorities investigate what happened.

Single-Family Fiction, Trump Rejects Future Debate, ‘Appalling’ Secret Service Review

by

Listen to “Single-Family Fiction, Trump Rejects Future Debate, ‘Appalling’ Secret Service Review” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they close the week with an important correction from Thursday’s edition,  strong thoughts on Trump’s rejection of another debate and the questionable characters in his inner circle, and startling indications that the performance of the Secret Service on the day of the Trump assassination attempt was even worse than we thought.

First, they apologize for basing their Thursday story about a Maryland county considering major zoning changes that allegedly threatened existing and future single-family homes on an erroneous story from a local ABC news station. They explain what the proposed changes would actually do and why that news source is unlikely to get the benefit of the doubt again.

Next, they explain why they think Trump was wrong to reject another debate with Kamala Harris, pointing out that even with somewhat biased moderators, a debate is still the best chance to make gettable voters aware of Kamala’s radical positions and failed tenure as vice president. They also chide Trump for allowing a figure like Laura Loomer into his inner circle – which is almost guaranteed to make things worse.

Finally, they’re stunned to see staunch lefty Connecticut Sen. Dick Blumenthal predict the American people will be “appalled” by the egregious failings of the U.S. Secret Service in connection to the attempted assassination of Trump on July 13. And Blumenthal also blasted the Department of Homeland Security for its lack of cooperation in the investigation.

The Debate: Kamala’s Lying & Baiting, Trump’s Distracted Rambling, Moderators’ Bias

by

Listen to “The Debate: Kamala’s Lying & Baiting, Trump’s Distracted Rambling, Moderators’ Bias” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they dissect Tuesday night’s presidential debate and how everyone on that stage was underwhelming in their performances – from Kamala Harris dodging or lying on the hard questions to Donald Trump missing opportunities and getting easily distracted to the moderators playing favorites. They also update yesterday’s Taylor Swift story and reflect on 23 years since the horrific 9/11 terrorist attacks.

First, they break down Kamala’s performance, particularly how she refused to answer challenging questions about the Biden-Harris record on the economy, the border, and her many sudden policy changes. They also note specific areas where she tried to sneak to the right of Trump and her clear strategy of baiting Trump away from discussing the issues most damaging to her.

Next, they explain how Trump kept falling for the rabbit trails offered by Harris, his failure to highlight some of the most devastating aspects of the Biden-Harris record, misstating other attempts to land punches, and how he looked generally unprepared for the event. They also highlight a few of his zingers against Harris and Biden, but even those turned out to be missed opportunities.

Then, they evaluate ABC News moderators David Muir and Lindsey Davis for their one-sided, questionable fact-checking and for offering some real softball questions to Harris.

Finally, Jim and Greg share their thoughts as the nation solemnly marks the 23rd anniversary of the 9/11 Al Qaeda terrorist attacks against New York City, the Pentagon, and Flight 93 in Pennsylvania.

Three Martinis with Robert Davi: His Role in ‘Reagan,’ Conservatives in Hollywood, ‘Die Hard’

by

Listen to “Three Martinis with Robert Davi: His Role in ‘Reagan,’ Conservatives in Hollywood, ‘Die Hard'” on Spreaker.

Jim and Greg welcome acclaimed actor, director, and singer Robert Davi to sip three martinis. Today, they discuss Davi’s role in the new biopic of Ronald Reagan, what it’s like for him as a conservative in Hollywood, and his unforgettable performance as Special Agent Johnson in “Die Hard.”

First, they discuss how Davi got involved in the Reagan movie project nine years ago and how he deeply researched his role as former Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev. Davi also explains why he wanted to be part of the film, how the media mocked and attacked Reagan much more at the time than they will admit now, and more.

Next, Davi shares what it’s like to be a conservative in Hollywood and how becoming more publicly supportive of conservatives and Republicans curiously coincided with a sudden decrease in opportunities to act and direct. He also takes us inside his recent film, “My Son Hunter” about Hunter Biden, the approach he took to directing it, and why many people discovered the film was far different than they expected it to be.

Then, of course, they spotlight Davi’s very memorable role in “Die Hard” and why the film endures more than most action movies. And you will not want to miss Davi’s hilarious story about watching the “Die Hard” for the first time alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger – complete with his perfect impression of Arnold.

Finally, Jim and Davi discuss their expectations for tomorrow night’s presidential debate.
