Captivity, Brutality, and Freedom, Iran Hostage Crisis Part 3

October 31, 2019 by GregC

Listen to “Captivity, Brutality, and Freedom, Iran Hostage Crisis Part 3” on Spreaker.

This coming Monday marks the start of a very dark chapter in American history.  On November 4, 1979, Iranians took over the U.S. embassy in Iran.  Then a 20-year-old U.S. Marine stationed at the embassy, Kevin Hermening became the youngest American hostage held captive for the next 444 days.

In the final installment of his three-part interview with Greg Corombos, Hermening details the anguish inflicted upon the Americans by their Iranian captors, the surprise visitor he received while held captive, and how freedom felt after losing it for more than a year.

Kamala Cratering, Floridians Love DeSantis, Swing States Skeptical on Impeachment

October 31, 2019 by GregC

Listen to “Kamala Cratering, Floridians Love DeSantis, Swing States Skeptical on Impeachment” on Spreaker.

Another day, another round of all good martinis.  After a brief analysis of the Washington Nationals winning the World Series, Jim and Greg enjoy watching the Kamala Harris presidential campaign suffer its worst poll numbers yet and shrink the campaign staff to save its dwindling resources.  They also marvel at the stratospheric approval numbers of Florida GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis, who enjoys a 72 percent approval rating and gets thumbs up from a majority of every major demographic, including Democrats.  And they’re fascinated by poll numbers showing the possibility of impeaching President Trump is far less popular in the swing states than it is in national polls.

What Medicare for All Will Really Cost You

October 30, 2019 by GregC

Listen to “What Medicare for All Will Really Cost You” on Spreaker.

Presidential candidates like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren are vowing to abolish private health insurance if elected president and have all Americans get their coverage through the federal government.

Projections suggest such a plan would cost $32 trillion over the first ten years. Warren plans to pay for that with a two percent wealth tax on the super rich.  Sanders admits he would raise taxes on the upper class and the middle class, but both insist their plans will be a net positive financially for American families.

But is that true?  Would the tax plans raise even close to enough revenue to pay for this new entitlement?  National Taxpayers Union President Pete Sepp says they won’t and so does the bipartisan Committee for a Responsible Budget.

The CFRB says to make ends meet, lawmakers would need to enact a 42 value-added tax on consumers, a 32 percent payroll tax split between employers and employees, a 25 percent income tax surcharge on all Americans, or require everyone to pay roughly $7,500 to buy into the federal health care program.

In this podcast, Sepp details the devastating effect such tax increases would have on American families and the U.S. economy.  He also addresses the possibility that the government will just let our debt pile up even higher and faster.

Obama vs. Woke Culture, Turkey & Genocide, Collins Catches A Break

October 30, 2019 by GregC

Listen to “Obama vs. Woke Culture, Turkey & Genocide, Collins Catches A Break” on Spreaker.

It’s all good martinis today! Join Jim and Greg as they stunningly applaud former President Obama for telling liberals that just blasting people for not being sufficiently woke actually accomplishes nothing. They’re also glad to see the House of Representatives vote overwhelmingly to blame Turkey for the Armenian genocide committed over a century ago and discuss why that matters now. And they discuss the financial and ethical headaches facing the likely Democratic challenger to Maine GOP Sen. Susan Collins.

How Special Forces Prepare and Execute Missions

October 29, 2019 by GregC

Listen to “How Special Forces Prepare and Execute Missions” on Spreaker.

This past weekend, U.S. forces successfully killed ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the terrorist figure responsible for inspiring some of the most grisly murders and rapes in recent times. The surgical strike resulted in no U.S. deaths or injuries and even the wounded dog is on the road to recovery.

But how do special forces prepare for missions like this and how are they trained to respond to the enemy’s actions to successfully execute the mission?

Retired U.S. Army Lt. General Jerry Boykin served 36 years in uniform, much of it in special forces. He was an original member of Delta Force and at one time commanded all Green Berets.

Gen. Boykin walks us through the planning, rehearsing, and executing of missions like the one that took out Baghdadi. He also cuts through the political bluster to explain when presidents are required to inform key members of Congress about a mission and when they are not.

Listen here for the full podcast.

Another ISIS Leader Killed, Sinema Defies Dems, Sen. Sessions 2.0?

October 29, 2019 by GregC

Listen to “Another ISIS Leader Killed, Sinema Defies Dems, Sen. Sessions 2.0?” on Spreaker.

Another day with two good martinis!  Join Jim and Greg as they celebrate U.S. forces killing another top ISIS official who may have been the successor to al-Baghdadi.  They’re also pleasantly surprised to see Arizona Democratic Sen. Kyrsten Sinema frustrating party leaders for taking a moderate approach on several issues and opposing an end to the legislative filibuster no matter which party is in control.  And while Jeff Sessions was a solid senator, they’re not too excited to hear Sessions is seriously considering joining a crowded field to win the seat again.

Baghdadi Bites the Dust, Rahm Is Right Again, Throuple Trouble

October 28, 2019 by GregC

Listen to “Baghdadi Bites the Dust, Rahm Is Right Again, Throuple Trouble” on Spreaker.

Start the week off right by joining us for the Three Martini Lunch.  Today, Jim and Greg celebrate the U.S. forces who tracked down and eliminated Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the ISIS leader responsible for some of the most heinous and grisly murders, rapes, and oppression we’ve seen in recent times.  They also pile on the Washington Post for offering a much softer headline and obituary for al-Baghdadi than was appropriate.  Jim and Greg are pleasantly surprised to see liberal political street fighter Rahm Emanuel begging Democrats to stop pushing Medicare for All.  And as California Democratic Rep. Katie Hill announces her upcoming resignation, they explain why this story is disturbing on virtually every level.
