Big January Jobs Jump, China’s Spy Balloon, Stay Home to Save the Climate?

by

Listen to “Big January Jobs Jump, China’s Spy Balloon, Stay Home for the Climate?” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome a January jobs report showing more than half a million new jobs, although they’re more dubious as to whether Biden deserves the credit. They’re also concerned about the spotting of a Chinese surveillance balloon over Montana near a key military site and discuss Biden’s decision thus far not to shoot it down. Finally, they fume over the Biden administration’s new climate agenda, which seeks to emulate the pandemic-era emissions levels by encouraging working Americans – and even students – to engage from home.

More Classified Doc Drama, NIH Dereliction Exposed, GOP Field Growing

by

Listen to “More Classified Doc Drama, NIH Dereliction Exposed, GOP Field Growing” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they discuss the FBI searching Biden’s Delaware beach house for classified documents today and reports that the Democrats on the Senate Intelligence Committee are getting increasingly frustrated at the lack of information coming from the Justice Department. They also shake their heads as the HHS inspector general concludes the National Institutes of Health failed to keep close tabs on the gain of function research done in Wuhan and elsewhere that was paid for with taxpayer-funded grants. And they sigh as former Maryland Governor Larry Hogan strongly hints that he will run for president in 2024, even though there’s very little chance he will make any ripples in the campaign at all.

Bash Grills Booted Dems, Left’s Disinformation Con Job, Trump’s Shutdown Whiff

by

Listen to “Bash Grills Booted Dems, Left’s Disinformation Con Job, Trump’s Shutdown Whiff” on Spreaker.

Jim and Greg give credit to CNN’s Dana Bash for asking tough questions of the three House Democrats House Speaker Kevin McCarthy wants booted from their sensitive committees – and their answers were rather unconvincing. They also react to the latest “Twitter Files,” exposing the powerful left-wing group Hamilton 68, which declared many Twitter accounts to be Russian bots or peddling Russian disinformation, when the vast majority were real people who just disagreed with the left’s narrative on various issues. Finally, they react to President Trump’s bizarre accusation that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis locked down his state far too long during the COVID pandemic, when the evidence is strongly to the contrary, and discuss why Trump is pursuing this line of attack.

Iowa Chooses School Choice, Adams’ Border Complaints, Schiff’s Senate Run

by

Listen to “Iowa Chooses School Choice, Adams’ Border Complaints, Schiff’s Senate Run” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they cheer Iowa becoming the latest state to pass sweeping school choice legislation which gives parents more options on where and how to educate their kids and creates more competition for our schools. They also groan as New York City Mayor Eric Adams complains about the burden placed on his city to deal with the flood of people who entered the nation illegally. The buses from red state governors are a drop in the bucket compared to the numbers of migrants being shuttled all over the nation by the federal government. They also react to Rep. Adam Schiff’s TikTok video complaining about his ouster from the House Intelligence Committee, which he immediately turned into a fundraising pitch just in time for his new campaign for the U.S. Senate.  And Jim reacts to the speculation that Aaron Rodgers could be headed to the New York Jets.

Dems Target Sinema, Klain Leaving White House, Tank Fight

by

Listen to “Dems Target Sinema, Klain Leaving White House, Tank Fight” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they consider whether Republicans have a better shot at winning a U.S. Senate seat in Arizona now that liberal Rep. Ruben Gallego announced he is seeking the Democratic nomination in order to run against Sen. Kyrsten Sinema – who was a Democrat and is now an independent.  Can the GOP take advantage of a three-way race? They also welcome the news that White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain will be leaving soon after steering the Biden administration far to the left on many issues and then unconvincingly trying to spin us on the consequences of that approach. Finally, Jim breaks down the impasse on the Pentagon opposing sending M1A1 Abrams tanks to Ukraine and Germany refusing to send tanks unless we do.

New Zealand Lockdown Queen Quits, 30 Percent Sales Tax? Gore’s Climate Rant

by

Listen to “New Zealand Lockdown Queen Quits, 30 Percent Sales Tax? Gore’s Climate Rant” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they cheer the impending resignation of New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, whose years in power were most notably marked by draconian COVID policies and unilaterally outlawing the right to own many different weapons. They also shake their heads as some House Republicans propose a national 30 percent sales tax to replace all other federal taxes. They appreciate the effort to simplify the code and hope discussions continue but fear this plan will only be used by Democrats to hammer Republicans. Finally, they respond to former Vice President Al Gore bellowing about boiling oceans and a billion climate refugees.

Twitter Suspensions, School Mask Mandates Return, Buttigieg Bails Again

by

Listen to “Twitter Suspensions, School Mask Mandates Return, Buttigieg Bails Again” on Spreaker.

Federalist Radio Hour Host Emily Jashinsky is in for Jim today. Emily and Greg start by dissecting the left’s full meltdown over Twitter suspending several journalists on the left for violating the new doxxing rules. They also discuss the impact Twitter has in exposing media bias and whether Elon Musk’s actions break his pledge to champion free speech.
They’re also furious as Philadelphia public schools plan to impose a mask mandate on students when they return in January just as the damage done to poor and minority students in California from being out of school becomes clearer.
Finally, they wonder what exactly Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg does following reports he was vacationing in Portugal just a week before the nation was threatened with an economy-crippling railroad strike.

Trump’s Head Fake, Biden’s Border Madness, COVID & Car Insurance

by

Listen to “Trump’s Head Fake, Biden’s Border Madness, COVID & Car Insurance” on Spreaker.

Ricochet.com Editor-in-Chief Jon Gabriel is in for Jim. Today, Jon and Greg shake their heads as President Trump’s big announcement turns into a promotion for digital trading cards of himself. They also cringe as the Biden administration prepares to make the border crisis far worse by lifting Title 42 and ending the “Remain in Mexico” policy. Finally, they roll their eyes at research suggesting people who didn’t get the COVID shot are more dangerous drivers – meaning vaccination status could impact your insurance rates.

Sinema’s Party Split, Twitter’s Shadow Bans, The Luggage Thief

by

Listen to “Sinema’s Party Split, Twitter’s Shadow Bans, The Luggage Thief” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they discuss the impact of Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema leaving the Democratic Party and becoming an independent – both on the functioning of the Senate and the 2024 Senate race in Arizona. They also break down the reporting of Bari Weiss on how Twitter really was shadow banning  – or “visibility filtering”  – certain accounts on the right. And they discuss the bizarre case of the Biden administration’s non-binary nuclear waste expert being charged with another felony after a second case of stealing someone else’s luggage at the airport.
