‘Haunted’ by Hearing Other Views, UNC Faculty’s Revolt, Pentagon Tortures Language Over Gaza

by

Listen to “‘Haunted’ by Hearing Other Views, UNC Faculty’s Revolt, Pentagon Tortures Language Over Gaza” on Spreaker.

It’s an all-crazy day as Jim and Greg discuss the unhinged political intolerance of a former mainstream media reporter, professors withholding grades over the consequences for anti-Israel protests, & tortured language and logic at the Pentagon over our policy in Gaza.
First, they sigh as former NBC News and CNN reporter Michelle Kosinski goes on a Twitter rant about how she is “haunted” by a dinner she had with people she refers to as “closeted MAGAts.” Why? Because some were Ivy League grads who didn’t want to send their kids there and others disagreed with the left’s climate change narrative.
Next, they rip the faculty members at the University of North Carolina who are threatening not to turn in end-of-semester grades for any of their students unless the school reverses the suspensions of 15 students for breaking the law during the anti-Israel demonstrations. The UNC provost recommends sanctions against any instructor who does not turn in grades on time. Which side will blink?
Finally, they unload on Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and the Biden administration for torturing language and logic, as Austin claims the 1,000 U.S. military personnel who will be constructing a pier on the Gaza coast will not be considered “boots on the ground.”

Real World Consequences for Columbia, The Bogus Hamas Ceasefire, Dems & Race

by

Listen to “Real World Consequences for Columbia, The Bogus Hamas Ceasefire, Dems & Race” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg, who actually have a good martini today, along with an absurdly bad one, and some crazy double standards for Democrats.

First, they welcome thirteen federal judges warning Columbia University that they will no longer accept the school’s students as law clerks after the trespassing protests that commandeered a building and university leaders allowed it all to happen. They do want to make sure that students who didn’t break the law don’t get punished for the crimes of others, but it is a warning to Columbia that if it wants to be taken seriously, the worst elements on campus cannot be calling the shots.

Next, they roll their eyes as Hamas agrees to a Middle East ceasefire that had never been on the table. Jim labels the plan an unacceptable counterproposal and explains why. He also blasts much of the mainstream media for proclaiming that Hamas had agreed to the deal and putting the pressure on Israel to consent to it.

Finally, they note racial rhetoric from two Democrats that got some pushback but would have likely meant the end of any Republican’s political career. The latest comes from New York Gov. Kathy Hochul who claimed that kids on the Bronx don’t even know the word “computer.” They also note Maryland Rep. David Trone, who is also running for U.S. Senate, using a racial slur during a committee hearing back in March. Trone says he uttered the wrong word, and it’s likely that he did, but we all know the political volcano that would have ensued if a GOP lawmaker had said it.

Biden’s Ammo Pause for Israel, Rep. Cuellar Indicted for Bribery, Gov. Noem Keeps Digging

by

Listen to “Biden’s Ammo Pause for Israel, Rep. Cuellar Indicted for Bribery, Gov. Noem Keeps Digging” on Spreaker.

There are no good martinis to start the week but Jim and Greg have plenty to discuss about President Biden playing hardball with Israel over ammunition, a seemingly sane House Democrat getting indicted on bribery charges, and South Dakota Gov. just making things worse as she tries to promote her new book.

First, they fume over reports that Biden has paused the delivery of some U.S.-made ammunition to Israel, with no explanation from the White House or anyone else. Is this designed to discourage Israel from going into Rafah to eradicate Hamas? Whatever the reason, an explanation is warranted.

Then, they discuss the indictments aimed at Texas Rep. Henry Cuellar and his wife Imelda over them allegedly accepting $600,000 in bribes from an energy firm connected with the Azerbaijan government. If it’s true, Cuellar obviously ought to be prosecuted. But are Democrats also eager to oust the Democrat most likely to make common cause with Republicans on the border and other issues?

Finally, they have multiple observations about South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem’s failed attempts to stop the political bleeding over revelations in her new book. From dog killing to whether she ever met with North Korean dictators Kim Jon Un, the answers on “Face the Nation” Sunday were less than impressive – and further proof she won’t be and shouldn’t be nominated for vice president.

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?

More Encampments Forced to End, Biden’s Late Lurch to the Truth, Could Nevada Go Red?

by

Listen to “More Encampments Forced to End, Biden’s Late Lurch to the Truth, Could Nevada Go Red?” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they discuss more campus crackdowns, how the left really offers little besides destruction, President Biden condemning illegal protests only after they’ve finally been dealt with, and whether Trump and other Republicans might actually have a shot at winning in Nevada this year.

First, they welcome California authorities ending the trespassing protests at UCLA and they also get a kick out of these agitators demonizing the University of California system as being a product of  colonialism. They also notice that these “encampments” are all coming down around the same time. Coincidence?

Next, they largely agree with President Biden’s comments on Thursday defending the right to protest peacefully but denouncing demonstrators who trespass, vandalize, and threaten other people. But where was this a week or two ago? Why does the statement only come now as the protests end?

Finally, they dig into Nevada polling numbers and wonder whether Donald Trump can be the first GOP nominee to win the state in 20 years or whether the Silver State will prove to be fool’s gold for Republicans yet again.

Cops Clear Columbia Cosplay, The Federal Financial Aid Fiasco, Biden Mulls Gaza Refugees

by

Listen to “Cops Clear Columbia Cosplay, The Federal Financial Aid Fiasco, Biden Mulls Gaza Refugees” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they cheer the end of the anti-Israel encampment at Columbia while relishing the leftist insanity on open display. Plus, Jim fumes over the federal government’s persistent failures to help families determine financial aid for college, and President Biden considers accepting “refugees” from Gaza.

First, they they cheer the NYPD for declaring the occupation of a Columbia University academic building to be a riot and arresting dozens of trespassing radicals. But they also get a lot of laughs out of the demonstrators’ earlier, convoluted demands that the university provide or allow “humanitarian aid” – meaning food and water – as they illegally controlled the building.

Next, Jim sounds off as the U.S. Department of Education failed repeatedly to allow high school seniors to file their Free Application for Federal Student Aid forms in a timely manner and are now delaying critical financial aid information. The website was unusable for months after it was promised to be functioning and one major glitch was not fixed until yesterday. They also discuss how this is yet another area in which the federal government has no business being in charge and makes life much tougher for Americans.

Finally, they fume as President Biden reportedly considers allowing refugees from Gaza to enter the United States, even though no Middle East country is willing to take in these people and the vast majority of people in Gaza hate the United States.

Seinfeld vs. Woke Left, Columbia Radicals Running the Campus, U.S. Doesn’t Need a ‘Momala’

by

Listen to “Seinfeld vs. Woke Left, Columbia Radicals Running the Campus, U.S. Doesn’t Need a ‘Momala'” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg today we they cheer Jerry Seinfeld for correctly accusing the woke left of killing comedy as we knew it for generations, hammer the administrators at Columbia University for continuing to let the inmates run the asylum, and cringe as Drew Barrymore (and way too many other Americans) see themselves as the children of our politicians.
First, they agree wholeheartedly with comedy legend Jerry Seinfeld’s contention that the woke left’s obsession with never being offended has effectively killed television comedies and many other forms of the art. And Jim adds that comedy is also a problem for the left because it helps people see their shared life experiences…and that’s bad for a movement who is constantly seeking to divide us.
Next, they unload on the president and other administrators at Columbia University. After setting another deadline for the pro-Hamas, anti-Israel demonstrators to clear their encampment, there were no consequences when the protesters ignored it. Later, the campus radicals took over an academic building and administrators are, thus far, doing nothing about it.
Finally, they groan as TV host Drew Barrymore tells Vice President Kamala Harris, “We need you to be Momala for the country.”Jim and Greg explain why they think it is painfully wrong for Americans to think of themselves as the children of our political leaders. However, this is nothing new, and they look back at a cringeworthy moment from a presidential campaign decades ago that provided momentum for this warped notion.

Memoir Backlash Dogs Kristi Noem, FBI’s Flawed Crime Numbers, Media Fawn Over Biden

by

Listen to “Memoir Backlash Dogs Kristi Noem, FBI’s Flawed Crime Numbers, Media Fawn Over Biden” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg today as they chronicle South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem murdering her chances to become Trump’s running mate, why the FBI’s claims of falling crime rates are seriously flawed, and the media praising President Biden for preserving a free press when his actions suggest exactly the opposite.

First, they dig into the four-day firestorm of criticism against South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, after it was revealed in her forthcoming autobiography that years ago she shot a 14-month-old dog when it failed as a hunting dog. They’re also critical of Noem and hope this development takes her out of the running for the GOP vice presidential nomination since her previous personal and policy decisions already ought to disqualify her.

Next, they groan as the FBI fails to get an accurate picture of crime rates across the nation by forcing local police to enter data in such a cumbersome way that some big cities don’t enter crime statistics at all. And even in the cities where authorities do submit crime numbers, the FBI is still reporting lower numbers than local officials are announcing. Bottom line: the left’s narrative that crime is plummeting (allegedly to 50-year lows) is dead wrong.

Finally, they roll their eyes as NBC’s Kelly O’Donnell lavishes praise on President Biden, saying his mere presence at the White House Correspondents Dinner is a strong defense of free speech and a free press. The Biden’s administration’s track record tells a very different story.

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.

Biden’s Pandering Backfires, The Looming TikTok ‘Ban,’ Opposing DEI Attacks Democracy?

by

Listen to “Biden’s Pandering Backfires, The Looming TikTok ‘Ban,’ Opposing DEI Attacks Democracy?” on Spreaker.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour Host Scot Bertram is in for Jim. Today, Scot and Greg serve up at least one good martini, one that has the potential to be very good, and a really crazy one starring Stacey Abrams.

First, they laugh as new Bloomberg poll numbers show President Biden’s blatant pandering to Muslim voters in Michigan by verbally attacking Israel at every opportunity is showing small signs of success in that state but it’s also causing Donald Trump to grow his lead in virtually every other battleground state.

Next, they are cautiously optimistic about recently passed legislation that forces TikTok’s parent company to sell the app or have it banned in the U.S. TikTok is well documented to be Chinese Communist Party spyware that harvests personal and national security data while getting millions of Americans – especially young people – addicted to the content, much of which is very harmful. But they also want to be sure this new law does not end up stifling online speech in any way.

Then, they get a kick out twice-failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams stating that opposition to the implementation of the DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) agenda in schools is an attack on our democracy. They enjoy seeing how the Democrats now see any position contrary to their agenda as a threat to democracy – and the insanity doesn’t stop there.

Lastly, these two beleaguered Chicago Bears fans look ahead to Thursday’s NFL Draft, in which the Bears have the first pick. Scot is optimistic about the team that’s being assembled and Greg is just waiting to see how the Bears will squander this opportunity.
