Dems Cooling on Court Packing? Louisville on Edge, Barrett Bashing Begins

by

Listen to “Dems Cooling on Court Packing? Louisville on Edge, Barrett Bashing Begins” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome Sen. Dianne Feinstein – the top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee – saying she opposes ending the legislative filibuster. Without killing the filibuster, Democrats would be unable to add seats to the Supreme Court, but is Feinstein sincere or is she just worried about touting court packing before the election? They also brace for a violent day or more in Louisville as officials announce whether police officers will face charges for the shooting death of Breonna Taylor in March. And they unload on media outlets for not only beginning to attack possible Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett but for getting the story spectacularly wrong.

Bloomberg Bites the Dust, Sad Night for Socialists, Trump Trolls Sessions

by

Listen to “Bloomberg Bites the Dust, Sad Night for Socialists, Trump Trolls Sessions” on Spreaker.

It’s a wild Wednesday Three Martini Lunch as we recap the events of Super Tuesday.  Join Jim and Greg as they relish the very expensive implosion of Michael Bloomberg, who spent hundreds of millions of dollars for one win in American Samoa while getting creamed in all 14 states before dropping out of the race on Wednesday. While they have plenty of concerns about Joe Biden, they are glad to see socialism take one on the chin Tuesday, as Bernie Sanders fell far below expectations and won just four states. They also detail how the past week and a half proves Sanders is actually a really bad politician. And they cringe as President Trump trolls former Attorney General Jeff Sessions upon the news Sessions is headed to a runoff for the nomination.

Score One for Freedom, Bloomberg’s Brazen Lie, Trusting the Taliban

by

Listen to “Score One for Freedom, Bloomberg’s Brazen Lie, Trusting the Taliban” on Spreaker.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America welcome the news that Hong Kong – at the direction of Communist China – has withdrawn the extradition bill that sparked massive protests, but they’re still not sure this story will have a happy ending.  They also pummel Bloomberg News and reporter Ben Penn for forcing the resignation of a Department of Labor appointee over an “anti-Semitic” social media post that wasn’t anti-Semitic at all.  And Jim is not at all impressed with the apparent peace plan in Afghanistan, which seems to amount to little more than trusting the Taliban not to commit terrorism or harbor terrorist groups.

They also discuss Trump’s bizarre fascination with possibly commuting the prison sentence of disgraced former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich. And they have a lot of fun with Bernie Sanders and Joe Rogan discussing whether a President Sanders would reveal everything the government knows about aliens and UFO’s.

McCarthy Sizes Up Mueller Testimony

by

Listen to “McCarthy Sizes Up Mueller Testimony” on Spreaker.

Former Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller III offered his highly anticipated testimony on Wednesday, but the day turned out differently than Democrats or Republicans anticipated.

Democrats clearly tried to assert that Mueller would have indicted President Trump for obstruction of justice of Justice Department policy did not forbid the indictment of a sitting president.  Republicans were determined to point out that the scope of the Mueller investigation was too narrow and ought to include an examination how how the surveillance of Trump campaign officials began in the first place.

What no one expected was the Mueller performance.  The former FBI director appeared to lack a strong command of his investigation and even admitted he did not oversee it on a day-to-day basis.  He often searched for answers in a manner that shocked analysts on both sides of the aisle.

But what is the impact of Mueller’s testimony?  Did Democrats make the case that Trump only avoided prosecution because of a loophole?  Did Republicans succeed in showing that a much broader investigation is warranted?  Why is Mueller’s shaky performance a big deal?  What is the next big step in this saga?  And is either side worried about ongoing Russian efforts to meddle in elections?

We discuss all of these questions and more in our conversation with former Chief Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew C. McCarthy, now a contributing editor and columnist at National Review Online and a contributor for the Fox New Channel.
