Coronavirus: ‘We Seem To Be In A Panic Phase’

February 28, 2020 by GregC

Listen to “Coronavirus: ‘We Seem To Be In A Panic Phase'” on Spreaker.

Coronavirus is making its way around the world.  It has government officials in the U.S. warning there might be disruptions in school calendars and work schedules due to its highly contagious nature.  Markets around the world spent most of the week in panic mode, as investors lost trillions in value in the U.S. alone.

But is coronavirus, or COVID-19, really a menace that could kill thousands of Americans?  Is the media egregiously overhyping the threat?  Or is the truth somewhere in the middle?

Dr. Roger Klein has advised a wide variety of government agencies from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to the Department of Health and Human Services.  Also a former medical director of molecular oncology at the Cleveland Clinic, Dr. Klein is now with the Regulatory Transparency Project’s FDA and Health Working Group.

In this interview with Radio America’s Greg Corombos, Dr. Klein walks us through how well the government has prepared for this threat, whether the media reports are responsible or hyperbolic, and he explains why China’s response to COVID-19 seems so inadequate.

Barr Blasts Progressivism, Columnists Condemn Bernie, Garth Brooks & Sanders

February 28, 2020 by GregC

Listen to “Barr Blasts Progressivism, Columnists Condemn Bernie, Garth Brooks & Sanders” on Spreaker.

Happy Friday! We’ve all earned three martinis after this crazy week.  Join Jim and Greg as they applaud Attorney General Bill Barr for noting in clear language how liberals have given way to progressives and how the militant drive for a dependency society is a serious threat to our nation. They also welcome opinion columns from non-conservatives like Fareed Zakaria and David Brooks who are both unloading on Bernie Sanders and his socialist agenda, but they also assess whether the media freakout over Bernie is because they’re scared of his agenda or they’re just scared he would lose to President Trump. In addition, they get a lot of laughs over country music star Garth Brooks wearing the jersey of NFL legend Barry Sanders at a concert in Detroit (where Sanders played) and getting online hate because his fans thought it meant he supported Bernie Sanders. Finally, Jim and Greg welcome Hillary Clinton to the podcasting world.

What Should We Expect from Our Government on Coronavirus?

February 27, 2020 by GregC

Listen to “What Should We Expect from Our Government on Coronavirus?” on Spreaker.

Coronavirus fears have the markets badly spooked and some Americans wondering how it may impact their daily lives in the weeks to come.

But as the Trump administration prepares to deal with the issue, what can we reasonably expect our government to do in a situation like this and what is beyond its control? How aggressive should it be in pressing China for accurate data? How tough is it for the feds to keep tabs on what 50 state government are doing? And how much responsibility lies with us as citizens?

Galen Institute President Grace-Marie Turner addresses all of these questions with Greg Corombos and she also flatly rejects media suggestions that coronavirus is proof that we need government-run health care. In fact, she says it proves just the opposite.

Dem Hopefuls Won’t Quit, Coronavirus Turns Political, Trump’s Carolina Calculation

February 27, 2020 by GregC

Listen to “Dem Hopefuls Won’t Quit, Coronavirus Turns Political, Trump’s Carolina Calculation” on Spreaker.

It’s an all-crazy Thursday on the Three Martini Lunch! Join Jim and Greg as they get a kick out of Democratic presidential hopefuls already explaining why they’re going to keep running regardless of how badly they do in South Carolina and on Super Tuesday. They also shake their heads as the mainstream media all suddenly make the coronavirus a political issue to hammer the Trump administration. And they wince as the Trump campaign urges South Carolina Republicans to cross over and support Bernie Sanders in Saturday’s Democratic primary.

Pro-Life Dems Plead for Party to Change

February 27, 2020 by GregC

Listen to “Pro-Life Dems Plead for Party to Change” on Spreaker.

The Democrats running for president disagree on quite a few things but all of them support Roe v. Wade and most seem to have little regard for pro-life members of their party.

Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and Pete Buttigieg have all indicated they are not interested in finding common ground with a group that makes up about 30 percent of the Democratic Party according to a recent Gallup survey. Amy Klobuchar says she welcomes them in the party but has not said where she would be willing to compromise.

Democrats for Life Executive Director Kristen Day says the party has lurched left on abortion over the past 20-30 years, shifting from wanting abortion to be safe, legal, and rare to advocating for abortions at any stage of pregnancy for any reason and wanting taxpayers to cover the bill.

Ms. Day gained notoriety for asking Buttigieg whether pro-life Democrats belonged in the party at an Iowa town hall earlier in the campaign season.

In this conversation with Greg Corombos, Day explains how she hopes to change hearts and minds among Democrats on abortion, what she thinks of Senate Democrats rejecting measures to ban most late term abortions or require care for babies who are born following an attempted abortion, and how she is approaching her vote in next week’s Virginia primary.

K.T. McFarland Details FBI Harassment, Trump ‘Revolution’

February 26, 2020 by GregC

Listen to “K.T. McFarland Details FBI Harassment, Trump ‘Revolution'” on Spreaker.

In her new book, “Revolution,” former Deputy National Security Adviser K.T. McFarland details how the FBI and the Mueller team hounded her, tried to trap her into a perjury charge, caused mental anguish, and put her family in financial distress all in hopes of incriminating figures in the Trump administration.

Steeped in that traumatic experience, McFarland explains what it’s like to be in the FBI cross hairs and how she avoided criminal charges while keeping her integrity.

McFarland also says her story is a small example of the massive battle raging between an increasingly powerful administrative state and the people through their elected leaders.

She takes us inside one of her first meetings at the National Security Council as staffers simply had no interest in shifting policy from the Obama era to pursue the Trump agenda.  And McFarland responds to allegations that Trump has been soft on Russia in general and Vladimir Putin in particular.

Listen to the full podcast, as McFarland tells Greg Corombos about the scope of the problem and how the people can win.

Debate Disarray, Very Pricey Debate Tickets, Bernie Targets Warren

February 26, 2020 by GregC

Listen to “Debate Disarray, Very Pricey Debate Tickets, Bernie Targets Warren” on Spreaker.

Pull up a stool!  There’s lots to discuss following Tuesday’s poorly run debate in South Carolina. First, Jim and Greg discuss how CBS allowed the debate to descend into an incoherent mess with multiple candidates talking over one another on multiple occasions, but they also highlight Elizabeth Warren’s latest howitzer aimed at Mike Bloomberg, Joe Biden’s latest statistical fiction, and Pete Buttigieg’s attempt to claim the anti-socialist high ground.  In addition, they slam the Charleston Democratic Party for charging outrageous prices for tickets to the debate.  And they analyze Sanders’ decision to leave South Carolina early in order to campaign for two days in Elizabeth Warren’s home state of Massachusetts, which votes on Super Tuesday.

Weinstein Headed to Prison, Coronavirus Chaos, Fight Night in Carolina

February 25, 2020 by GregC

Listen to “Weinstein Headed to Prison, Coronavirus Chaos, Fight Night in Carolina” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they tackle a wide variety of martinis today.  First, they are gratified to see a sexual predator like Harvey Weinstein headed to prison for rape and sexual assault although they’re disappointed to see him acquitted on the most serious charges.  They also cringe as the spread of coronavirus in South Korea, China, and Italy send global markets sharply lower.  And they shake their heads as they walk through all the massive tax hikes Bernie Sanders wants to inflict in order to pay for has laundry list of new entitlement programs. And they preview what should be a feisty debate among the Democrats in South Carolina tonight.

Weekend at Bernie’s

February 24, 2020 by GregC

Listen to “Weekend at Bernie’s” on Spreaker.

Start your week with the Three Martini Lunch as we dissect the good, the bad, and the crazy concerning the Nevada Democratic Caucuses. Join Jim and Greg as they experience more than a little bit of schadenfreude as Democrats thoroughly freak out over Bernie Sanders dominating the vote on Saturday. But they get more serious as ’60 Minutes’ and even CNN remind everyone how radical Sanders is and how he praised Fidel Castro and Marxists in Nicaragua and the Soviet Union. And they unload on Nevada Democrats for running terrible caucuses plagued by having too few officials to run some precincts effectively and still not finishing the vote totals by Monday morning.

Will Nevada Pull an Iowa? Bloomberg’s Crickets, Newsom’s Nonsense

February 21, 2020 by GregC

Listen to “Will Nevada Pull an Iowa? Bloomberg’s Crickets, Newsom’s Nonsense” on Spreaker.

Your Friday treat is three crazy martinis, but only after basking in the glow of the 40th anniversary of the Miracle on Ice and the national morale boost a bunch of unheralded college kids gave us by defeating the supposedly unbeatable Soviet Union in the 1980 Winter Olympics.  Then, join Jim and Greg and as they bang their heads against the table after Nevada Democrats say they can’t promise results of Saturday’s caucuses on the same day they’re held. They also weigh in on Michael Bloomberg’s video of crickets chirping and his fellow Democrats shifting uncomfortably when he asked if any of them had ever started a business – was it deception or just a candidate making a point? And as California Gov. Gavin Newsom says doctors should be able to prescribe housing just like they prescribe insulin and antibiotics, Jim offers Newsom a devastating reminder of which party led California into the homelessness crisis and many other problems.
