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.

Kirby Disrespects Veterans, Blaming the GOP for California’s Woes, No Single-Family Homes?

by

Listen to “Kirby Disrespects Veterans, Blaming the GOP for California’s Woes, No Single-Family Homes?” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg for a quick and fun discussion of getting spam emails from the DNC. Then they tackle National Security Council spokesman John Kirby disrespecting veterans critical of Biden, an LA Times columnist blaming Republicans for California’s litany of problems, and politicians in Maryland considering an end to single-family homes.

After some quick jokes about the odd, unsolicited DNC emails that Greg keeps getting, they dig into Admiral Kirby hitting “reply all” on a request for a statement from veterans mad about Biden’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan and announcing their concerns weren’t even worth a response. “Obviously no use in responding. A ‘handful’ of vets indeed and all of one stripe,” is what Kirby said. Jim says Kirby needs to remember that he works for the people and not the Democratic Party.

Next, they roll their eyes at an opinion column in the Los Angeles Times that admits California is a mess. And even though no Republican has held statewide office since early 2011, columnist Steve Lopez says it’s still the GOP’s fault because of things Republicans did more than 50 years ago and that the Democrats’ many failures under one-party control in recent years are also the Republicans’ fault. Really! Jim has little patience for this revisionism and says Democrats have been able to do whatever they want in California. And what they want leads to disaster.

Finally, they turn their attention to the DC suburbs in Maryland. For years, people on the right have been branded as conspiracy theorists for saying the left wants to put an end to single-family homes and crowd more people into those spaces in order to collect more in property taxes. In Montgomery County, Maryland, the county council is now…surprise…considering legislation to put an end to single-family homes – under the false pretense of creating more affordable housing.

Hunter Biden Pleads Guilty, Charging School Shooters’ Parents, GOP Senate Outlook

by

Listen to “Hunter Biden Pleads Guilty, Charging School Shooters’ Parents, GOP Senate Outlook” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg for three complicated martinis to close out the week. They discuss Hunter Biden deciding to plead guilty to federal tax charges, whether parents of school shooters ought to face criminal charges, and the forecast for this years U.S. Senate elections.
First, they focus on Hunter Biden abandoning his plan to go to trial and a subsequent plan to plead guilty without admitting guilt on federal tax charges. Now that he’s simply pleading guilty, what does that mean for sentencing, the chances his father pardons him and more? Jim says it’s all further proof of one thing – that the critics of Hunter Biden were right and Joe Biden and a lot of other Democrats and media apologists were wrong or flat out lying.
Second, they examine this week’s horrific, deadly school shooting at a Georgia high school and mull over whether officials are right to charge the shooter’s father with two counts of second degree murder and four counts of involuntary manslaughter for failing to keep guns away from his 14-year-old son who had already been evaluated as a possible threat. Are charges like this a good way to keep parents more vigilant and accountable for their kids’ actions and for their own actions or does criminal blame belong solely with the killer?
Finally, they examine the U.S. Senate map this year. And while odds look favorable for Republicans to reclaim a slim majority, there are several other seats held by Democrats which should be vulnerable. But so far the GOP challengers are consistently trailing.

Hamas Murders Hostages, Illegals Causing Criminal Chaos, The Constitution Is a Threat?

by

Listen to “Hamas Murders Hostages, Illegals Causing Criminal Chaos, The Constitution Is a Threat?” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg for three lousy martinis that all have a strong crazy streak too. After Greg recaps his visit to the Calvin Coolidge presidential site in Vermont, they condemn Hamas for murdering  hostages as well as the Biden administration’s reaction. They also shudder as illegals are comprising a huge percentage of arrests in New York City but the laws are working against the law-abiding public. And they tear apart a New York Times column for saying the Constitution may be a threat to our politics.

First, they recoil at Hamas murdering six hostages, including American Hersh Goldberg-Polin. But they’re also staggered that the immediate media and Biden administration reaction is to put more pressure on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to cut a deal with the bloodthirsty terrorists who orchestrated the October 7th attacks and just slaughtered several innocent people.

Next, they fume as police sources in New York report that 75 percent of assault, robbery, and domestic violence arrests in Midtown Manhattan are of illegal immigrants, and they estimate the number to be 60 percent in Queens. If that weren’t bad enough, they explain how sanctuary city laws mean the perpetrators are often freed and officers can’t check their legal status or work with Immigration & Customs Enforcement.

Finally, they shake their heads as a New York Times column suggests the Constitution is a threat to our politics because of undemocratic aspects like the Electoral College and small states getting the same number of senators as larger states. Oh, and they they say the originalist bent of the current Supreme Court is a problem because the justices dare to seek out what the Founding Fathers meant when they wrote the Constitution.

Dems & Wisconsin, Feds & Facebook, Kamala & the Wall, The Taliban & Your Tax Dollars

by

Listen to “Dems & Wisconsin, Feds & Facebook, Kamala & the Wall, The Taliban & Your Tax Dollars” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they squeeze four stories into today’s podcast, from the DNC’s absurd efforts to undermine democracy in Wisconsin to Mark Zuckerberg admitting the FBI, the White House and other federal entities pressured him over online speech and from Kamala Harris tacitly backing a border wall to the return of repression and terrorist safe havens in Afghanistan.

Before the official martinis, they highlight how Democrats are trying to limit voters’ options ahead of the presidential election. The Wisconsin Supreme Court has thankfully dismissed a lawsuit trying to kick the Green Party’s Jill Stein off the ballot in the Badger State. And it has to be one of the dumbest arguments for removing a candidate that we’ve ever heard.

Then, they react to Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg admitting to House Republicans that the Biden administration urged him to censor COVID-19 content on Facebook, including humor and satire. And the FBI pre-emptively told him to be on the lookout for “Russian disinformation” about the Biden family and Burisma, so he was predisposed to spike the story of the Hunter Biden laptop when it was reported in the NY Post.

Next, they assess an Axios story that suggests Kamala Harris has flip-flopped again, this time embracing a border wall since she’s on the record backing the Senate immigration bill. This change in policy is not something her staffers have announced, but it’s another sign she is running to the middle despite her long radical record – and its happening while Democrats are planning a very progressive agenda in Congress with her full blessing.

Finally, they wince as the Taliban reimpose some of the most repressive policies against women just as we mark three years since the disastrous Biden withdrawal from Afghanistan. Jim also points out terrorist groups, including Al Qaeda, are thriving there again. And all of it happening with your tax dollars.

The DNC’s Absurd Reinvention of Kamala Harris

by

Listen to “The Absurd Reinvention of Kamala Harris” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they react to Kamala Harris accepting the Democratic nomination on Thursday night. They examine her promise to be a president who will always put country over party, her vow to create an economy of opportunity, and her approach to the Middle East and other national security issues.
First, they note how the Harris campaign is trying to replay the Obama strategy of staying vague on policy and denouncing the intense political rancor and division that she has been aggressively inflaming for the past eight years.  The problem for Harris is that her record of far-left policies and partisan rhetoric is far more extensive than Obama’s was in 2008.
Next, they contrast Kamala’s call for an “economic opportunity” agenda with her many earlier statements about the need for equity and “equal outcomes.” They also mention her disingenuous stance on immigration and the border crisis and explain how one aspect of Thursday’s convention story is a perfect metaphor for the left’s rhetoric vs. the left’s actions.
Finally, they dig into Harris speaking on the Middle East crisis, as she delivered the most intense administration denunciation of the Hamas terrorist attacks in months – and then turned around and insisted there needs to be a Palestinian state.

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?

White House Press Office Intrigue, Record Low U.S. Fertility, USC Cancels Commencement

by

Listen to “White House Press Office Intrigue, Record Low U.S. Fertility, USC Cancels Commencement” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they dig into reports that White House officials tried and failed to remove one of President Biden’s biggest liabilities. They also have plenty to say about America’s perilously low fertility rates and USC deciding to punish its graduates out of fear of some radical students.

First, they pop the popcorn and discuss the New York Post report that de facto White House Communications Director Anita Dunn tried to get Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre to take a new job in order to hire someone much more talented than Jean-Pierre at the podium. But Jean-Pierre doesn’t want to leave and the Biden team can’t fire her.

They also shudder as the U.S. fertility rate drops to a record low of 1.62 births per woman. That is well below the rate of replacement and also spells big trouble for a government incapable of any spending restraint and that is in the midst of an avalanche of retirements in the baby boom generation. The current path is unsustainable and Jim offers young Americans encouragement that they can and should get married and start having babies.

Finally, they denounce the University of Southern California’s decision to cancel the main commencement ceremony out of fears there will be disruptions related to Middle East grievances. They explain how this only rewards the troublemakers and Jim stresses that the Class of 2024, of all groups, deserves to celebrate commencement.

KC Voters Stiff-Arm Chiefs, Wisconsin Rejects Privately-Run Elections, Biden Won’t Refill Strategic Reserve

by

Listen to “KC Voters Stiff-Arm Chiefs, Wisconsin Rejects Privately-Run Elections, Biden Won’t Refill Strategic Reserve” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they cheer two positive election results from Tuesday and call out the Biden administration for another failed promise.

First, they applaud the voters of Jackson County, Missouri, for rejecting the demands of the Kansas City Chiefs and Kansas City Royals to approve a sales tax to bankroll a new baseball stadium and overhaul the football field.

Next, they welcome the decision by Wisconsin voters to reject private financing or staffing of elections. It’s in response to the millions poured into the 2020 elections by Facebook/Meta Founder Mark Zuckerberg.

Finally, they’re disgusted but not surprised that the Biden administration does not plan to honor its promise to refill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve after selling off much of it to artificially lower gas prices before the 2022 midterm elections

Breaking Down Biden’s State of the Union

by

Listen to “Breaking Down Biden’s State of the Union” on Spreaker.

We’ve had all good martinis and all crazy martinis this week. So it makes sense that Jim and Greg close the week with all bad martinis as they assess President Biden’s State of the Union address and the Republican response.
First, they note that Biden responded to criticism that he often comes off as low energy and mentally meandering by showing up angry, talking quickly, and turning the speech into more of a convention address than what the event is supposed to be. But Jim says if the Biden team was trying to invigorate the left-wing base, it may have helped him politically. They also highlight his inappropriate trash talking of the Supreme Court and his fiction over deficit spending.
Then, they take aim at Biden’s ill-conceived idea of building a pier on or near the Gaza coast to bring in humanitarian relief. And while Biden says there will be no American “boots on the ground,” if they’re anywhere close, this is a very bad idea. Jim also asserts that this move is simply Biden’s efforts to win back Muslim voters in Michigan.
Finally, they’re less than thrilled with the GOP performance on Thursday. They discuss the excellent content in the official response from Alabama Sen. Katie Britt but debate whether the emotional delivery was effective. Moreover, given the late start to the Biden speech, Jim suspects the nation’s opinion of the Republicans will be based more on Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s disruptions of Biden than the actual response.
