by

Listen to “Dems Bailing on Biden? Nadler Threatens Mueller Report Subpoena, Fairfax Accuser Speaks” on Spreaker.

After a review of Greg’s harrowing trip to the DMV, Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos ask whether the the Democratic Party is trying to kick Joe Biden to the curb as women now accuse the former vice president of unwanted physical contact in recent years.  They also groan as House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler threatens to subpoena the unredacted Mueller report since Attorney General Bill Barr isn’t expected to release the edited version for a couple of weeks.  And they examine the curious double standard of Democrats moving on from scandals facing Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam and Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax now that one of the Fairfax accusers is telling her story on national television.

Victor Davis Hanson Offers ‘The Case for Trump’

by

Listen to “Victor Davis Hanson Offers ‘The Case for Trump'” on Spreaker.

When Donald Trump joined the 2016 presidential race, many Americans did not take him seriously.  Even after he won primaries and secured the nomination, millions assumed he had no chance of actually becoming president.

But he did.

And almost four years after Trump launched his White House bid, most of his critics are still dumbfounded as to how he ever gained any traction, much less won a major party nomination and a general election.

Trump foes chalk up his political success to everything from Russian election meddling to James Comey to the Electoral College to women voting as their husbands tell them.  But Hoover Institution scholar and author Victor Davis Hanson says the real reasons for Trump’s victory are much simpler and he believes Trump is in decent position for re-election.

Hanson is the author of “The Case for Trump.”

Listen to the full podcast as Prof. Hanson explains why the working class in Middle America went for the Manhattan billionaire, what’s real and what’s fiction about the so-called Deep State, and why the Democrats running for president might be the best advertisement Trump could possibly have for 2020.

Listen to “No More Mueller Indictments? Trump Embraces Kraft, Why 2020 Dems Are Weird” on Spreaker.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America welcome the news that the Mueller probe will likely end soon with no further indictments.  They wonder why President Trump is so insistent upon inviting New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft to the White House with his team and whether he would be smarter to keep a distance after Kraft’s arrest for solicitation.  And they have fun with a recent column wondering why so many of the Democrats running for president seem really weird.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America applaud former ABC News anchor Ted Koppel’s critique of the media and appreciate that at least one veteran journalist has the courage to speak out on liberal bias in the news. They also take President Trump to task for attacking the late Sen. John McCain in a series of immature tweets and public statements. And they predict former Vice President Joe Biden won’t endear himself to progressives if reports are true that he’s planning to name former Georgia Rep. Stacey Abrams his running mate in 2020.

AOC vs. New York Polls, Covering Up Beto’s Crimes, DeBlasio’s Dismal Turnout

by

Listen to “AOC vs. New York Polls, Covering Up Beto’s Crimes, DeBlasio’s Dismal Turnout” on Spreaker.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America are glad to see New Yorkers souring on Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez despite her glowing media coverage and roll their eyes at her explanation for her dip in popularity.  They also question the journalistic integrity at Reuters after reporter Joseph Menn held on to a story about Beto O’Rourke’ being a member of the hacker group “The Cult of the Dead Cow” until after his loss to Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.  And they argue that long shot candidates like New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, who attracted a measly six supporters to his last event, should quit crowding the field and let more experienced and recognizable candidates fight it out.

by

Listen to “Beto Mania, Social Media and Depression, Warren Waffles on Capitalism” on Spreaker.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America argue that Beto O’Rourke running for president is actually a good thing because it will either show media infatuation can get you elected or burst O’Rourke’s hype bubble. They are also concerned by the alarming rise in mental health disorders in teens that is linked to social media use. And they also give Elizabeth Warren a molecule of credit for defending capitalism, only to watch her then say markets don’t work for health care or education.

Bloomberg Bails on 2020, Hillary’s New Excuse, America in Deficit Denial

by

Listen to “Bloomberg Bails on 2020, Hillary’s New Excuse, America in Deficit Denial” on Spreaker.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America are glad to see former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg decide not to run for president in 2020 but groan as he vows to spend huge sums of money to move the world “beyond carbon” in the next decade.  They also fume as Hillary Clinton finds yet another pathetic excuse for losing to Donald Trump in 2016.  And they react with disgust as the federal budget deficit jumps 77 percent in the first four months of Fiscal 2019 compared to last year – and because neither party and most Americans have no interest in addressing our debt and deficit crisis.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America applaud Oregon Senator Jeff Merkley’s decision to not run in 2020 but ask if his announcement was really necessary since very few Americans have any idea who he is. They also take a deep breath of fresh air as Texas Rep. Dan Crenshaw gives a clear and calm defense of conservative principles that is often missing from our public dialogue. And Jim notes the Clinton era ends in a whimper as Hillary officially states that she will not run for president in 2020.
