GOP Voters Energized, FBI Finds Nothing New, Coons Downplays Dem Letter

by

Listen to “GOP Voters Energized, FBI Finds Nothing New, Coons Downplays Dem Letter” on Spreaker.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America savor four pieces of good news Thursday.  First, they are encouraged by a new poll showing the the Kavanaugh fight has Republican voters fired up, erasing a big enthusiasm edge for Democrats just a month before the midterm elections.  They also welcome statements from Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley and other senators that there is nothing in the new FBI report to corroborate the eleventh hour accusations against Judge Kavanaugh and they also get a kick out of Democrats suddenly denouncing the FBI because of it.  They applaud Sen. Chris Coons for explaining that Democrats have nothing new on Kavanaugh despite suggesting otherwise on Wednesday.  And they applaud the Capitol Police for arresting the person apparently responsible for publicizing the personal information of three Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Ford’s Many Inconsistencies, Libs Sucker Flake, Kim Suckers Trump

by

Listen to “Ford’s Many Inconsistencies, Libs Sucker Flake, Kim Suckers Trump” on Spreaker.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America retract their original weak reviews for Rachel Mitchell’s questioning of Dr. Christine Ford last week and marvel at the pile of inconsistencies in Ford’s story past and present.  They also hammer Jeff Flake for believing there was any element of good faith behind Democrats wanting a brief FBI investigation, when it’s now painfully obvious they were only looking for a reason to delay Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination.  And they rip President Trump for saying he and Kim Jong-Un “fell in love,” when reports show North Korea is still pursuing its nuclear and missile programs and supposedly will only scrap them if the U.S. does the same.

Grassley’s Format Flop, Doppelganger Confessions, Kamala’s Reckless Stunt

by

Listen to “Grassley’s Format Flop, Doppelganger Confessions, Kamala’s Reckless Stunt” on Spreaker.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America growl in frustration as the questioning of Dr. Christine Ford and Judge Brett Kavanaugh is chopped up into five minute chunks for each party, preventing any sort of flow to the GOP’s line of questioning. While some on the right want it to be true, Jim and Greg are skeptical of reports that two men have come forward to the Senate Judiciary Committee suspecting Dr. Ford might be remembering something they did to her. And they fume as California Sen. Kamala Harris forwards an anonymous accusation against Brett Kavanaugh containing virtually no details to the FBI for further scrutiny, leading Jim to suggest the FBI give lawmakers some clues about what they need to conduct an investigation.

Nervous Dems in New Jersey, Voting By Phone, Biden vs. Biden

by

Listen to “Nervous Dems in New Jersey, Voting By Phone, Biden vs. Biden” on Spreaker.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America are pleased to see scandal-ridden New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez in a very tight race against Republican challenger Bob Hugin, even though a GOP win is still considered difficult.  They also give two thumbs down to West Virginia’s plan to allow voters in 24 counties to vote through a smartphone app.  And as Democrats continue to demand an FBI investigation into allegations against Brett Kavanaugh, they get a kick out of then-Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Joe Biden saying “The next person that refers to an FBI report as being worth anything, obviously doesn’t understand anything” during the 1991 Clarence Thomas confirmation hearings.

McConnell Slams Dems, Antifa Harasses Cruz, Avenatti’s Dud

by

Listen to “McConnell Slams Dems, Antifa Harasses Cruz, Avenatti’s Dud” on Spreaker.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America applaud Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell for his Senate floor speech blasting Senate Democrats for their conduct during the Kavanaugh confirmation process.  They also unload on Antifa and the other menacing groups who berated Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and his wife and forced them to leave a Washington restaurant.  And they react to cable news fixture Michael Avenatti promising  an air-tight case of misconduct against Brett Kavanaugh only to walk back his bravado and go silent on Twitter.

Hirono Gets Honest Again, Media Malpractice, Rosenstein Roulette

by

Listen to “Hirono Gets Honest Again, Media Malpractice, Rosenstein Roulette” on Spreaker.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America are enjoying Hawaii Sen. Mazie Hirono getting so much television time.  One week after telling all men to “shut up” and admitting she was fine keeping the Supreme Court seat vacant, she admits to CNN that she doesn’t believe Kavanaugh’s denials on sexual misconduct allegations because she doesn’t like the way he rules on cases and fears he would overturn Roe v. Wade.  They also blast the “New Yorker” for actually publishing a story from a second “accuser,” despite the fact the accuser could not definitively name Kavanaugh for the misconduct, all named witnesses had no knowledge of the incident in question, and the accuser actually told former classmates in the past week that she wasn’t sure she was targeted by Kavanaugh.  And they get dizzy from all the reports that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein is on the verge of resigning or being fired.

Kavanaugh-Related Craziness Abounds

by

Listen to “Kavanaugh-Related Craziness Abounds” on Spreaker.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America dissect three crazy stories related to the confirmation battle over Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.  First, they’re baffled by the normally measured legal expert Ed Whelan laying out a possible case of mistaken identity in the alleged assault of Christine Blasey Ford and even offering another name based on where he lived and the floor plan of his house.  They also roll their eyes as Ford’s legal team makes a series of demands before testifying, including the absurd conditions of making Kavanaugh testify first and not allowing committee lawyers question their client.  And they shake their heads as President Trump, after a week of remaining remarkably silent on the issue, suggests on Twitter that Ford would have immediately told police if the attack on her was as bad as she says it was.

Bredesen Breaks Ranks, Libs vs. Reality on Ford, Stumped by Stamps

by

Listen to “Bredesen’s Bold Move, Libs vs. Reality on Ford, Stumped by Stamps” on Spreaker.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America cheer Tennessee Democratic Senate hopeful Phil Bredesen for bucking the talking points from Washington Democrats and saying the Senate should move forward on the Kavanaugh nomination if Christine Ford refuses to testify.  They also roll their eyes as California Rep. Anna Eshoo claims Ford does not have a political bone in her body, which is patently false, and another California congressman mocks the threats liberals are making against Maine Sen. Susan Collins over this issue.  And they have fun with the news that many college students request and fill out absentee ballots but never mail them in because they have no idea where to get a stamp.

Accuser Demands FBI Probe, Dems’ Real Judicial Goal, Severe Sibling Rivalry

by

Listen to “Accuser Demands FBI Probe, Dems’ Real Judicial Goal, Severe Sibling Rivalry” on Spreaker.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America surprisingly find three good martinis for conservatives on Wednesday.  First, they find it interesting that Judge Kavanaugh’s accuser is suddenly refusing to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee until an FBI investigation on her accusation is completed.  They also appreciate Hawaii Sen. Mazie Hirono admitting what a big part of the agenda is for Democrats in this fight, keeping the Supreme Court seat vacant until 2021.  And they get a kick out a Wisconsin man cutting an ad for the opponent of his own brother in a Wisconsin congressional race, leaving Jim and Greg to consider how much more fun it would it would be to conduct sibling fights through 30-second attack ads.

Kavanaugh Catch-22, Clueless Ocasio-Cortez, Kim Cons U.S.

by

Listen to “Kavanaugh Catch-22, Clueless Ocasio-Cortez, Kim Cons U.S.” on Spreaker.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos tackle the latest accusations of Christine Blasey Ford against Brett Kavanaugh, leaving Republicans with the unpleasant choice of ditching a Supreme Court nominee over an eleventh hour allegation missing many specifics or confirming a nominee who many Americans now believe to be a sex offender just one month before the midterms.  They also get a kick out Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez flailing and failing to explain how she would pay for $40 trillion in new government programs over ten years.  And they sigh as evidence mounts that North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un hasn’t stopped his nuclear or missile programs but just isn’t boasting about it anymore.
