The Afghanistan Debacle

by

Listen to “The Afghanistan Debacle” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they discuss and dissect the sequence of horrible events in Afghanistan and the flat-footed planning and response from the Biden administration.  They detail the rapid advancement of the Taliban into Kabul and how it is already executing people in the streets plus the mass chaos at the airport as thousands and thousands of Afghans are desperately seeking to leave to country. They also wonder where President Biden was for the past few days, as Americans heard nothing from him, Vice President Harris or Press Secretary Jen Psaki for days as Afghanistan collapsed.  And they shudder as Chinese state media is already telling Taiwan that war is coming and they have no reason to think the U.S. will defend it.

Afghanistan Nightmare, Border Crisis Worst Yet, Vaccine Mandate Madness

by

Listen to “Afghanistan Nightmare, Border Crisis Worst Yet, Vaccine Mandate Madness” on Spreaker.

You may want an actual martini as you join Jim and Greg for three troubling stories. First, they chronicle the rapid collapse of the Afghan military, the Taliban’s seemingly inevitable return to power, and the Biden administration’s recent assurance that this would never happen. They also fume at the lack of any coherent Biden border policy as more than 212,000 migrants were apprehended at our southern border in July. And they unload on the president following reports that the Biden administration has considered draconian COVID restrictions, including the need to prove you are vaccinated to cross state lines.

Kennedy Crushes CRT, Odd Afghanistan Withdrawal, Lincoln Project Lurches Left

by

Listen to “Kennedy Crushes CRT, Odd Afghanistan Withdrawal, Lincoln Project Lurches Left” on Spreaker.

Jim and Greg welcome the funny but pointed denunciation of Critical Race Theory from Lousisiana GOP Sen. John Kennedy. They also wonder why the U.S. left Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan without even telling our Afghan allies. And they roll their eyes as the Lincoln Project adds longtime Dem strategist Joe Trippi, essentially admitting it’s now nothing more than another left-wing group.

Sinema Stays Consistent, Taliban Trouble Brewing, Dems’ Voter ID Whiplash

by

Listen to “Sinema Stays Consistent, Taliban Trouble Brewing, Dems’ Voter ID Whiplash” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they applaud Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema for staying consistent on her refusal to kill the filibuster, much to the dismay of her party. They also wince as the Taliban  regains control in much of Northern Afghanistan amid the withdrawal of American troops. They end their discussion by highlighting the voter ID flip-flopping of Georgia Sen. Raphael Warnock and other Democrats after years of calling the idea racist and tool for voter suppression.

Wuhan Lab Whiplash, Taliban’s Troubling Talk, Newsom’s Big Rebound

by

Listen to “Wuhan Lab Whiplash, Taliban’s Troubling Talk, Newsom’s Big Rebound” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they examine the political and media left now treating the Wuhan lab leak theory seriously after a year of calling such talk a baseless conspiracy, and even the Biden administration is joining the chorus. They also sigh as the Taliban threatens it’s neighbors not to host any military bases for U.S. forces following our withdrawal from Afghanistan this year. And they they’re stunned that California voters not only oppose recalling Gov. Gavin Newsom but strongly support his handling of the pandemic.

Pro-Life Progress, Bogus Afghan Bounty Story, Markey’s Massive Hypocrisy

by

Listen to “Pro-Life Progress, Bogus Afghan Bounty Story, Markey’s Massive Hypocrisy” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome an appeals court decision upholding an Ohio ban on abortions because the unborn baby has Down Syndrome. They also fume as the intel community admits there is only low to moderate confidence in last year’s reports that Russia was offering bounties to the Taliban and its allies for killing coalition forces in Afghanistan. And they shake their heads at the obvious court-packing hypocrisy of Massachusetts Sen. Ed Markey.

Schools Are Opening, Leaving Afghanistan, Biden Team’s Thin Skin

by

Listen to “Schools Are Opening, Biden’s Afghanistan Withdrawal, Biden Team’s Thin Skin” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome steady progress in reopening schools, as nearly half of U.S. school districts are now open for in-person learning. While understanding the desire to exit Afghanistan, they’re wondering whether President Biden has learned anything from his botching of the U.S. departure from Iraq that helped trigger the rise of ISIS. And the short fuse of the Biden administration is on display again after left-leaning probability expert Nate Silver criticizes the decision to pause the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.

Pete & Steyer Bow Out, All-In For Biden, Few Answers in Afghanistan

by

Listen to “Pete & Steyer Bow Out, All-In For Biden, Few Answers in Afghanistan” on Spreaker.

It’s a day of fast-moving headlines!  Amy Klobuchar dropped out after we recorded but it’s just the latest move to rally the non-Bernie Dems around Joe Biden.  And we talk about that a lot! Join Jim and Greg as they chronicle the curiously hasty exit of Pete Buttigieg from the Democratic race and they also have some choice thoughts as Tom Steyer hits the bricks too. Then, they marvel at how the Democratic establishment, the media (but we repeat ourselves), and Never Trumpers sound the clarion call to support Joe Biden because he won one state.  And they step away from politics to discuss the resumption of violence in Afghanistan just days after the U.S. signed a deal with the Taliban, reminding us that region may never be stable. But will it pose another major national security threat to the U.S. sometime soon?

Sen. Rand Paul Talks Spending Bill, Afghanistan, Impeachment

by

Listen to “Sen. Rand Paul Talks Spending Bill, Afghanistan, Impeachment” on Spreaker.

Sen. Rand Paul is not holding back his disgust for the bloated spending contained in the bills to fund the federal government through September 2020.

“The nicest thing I can say about them would be they’re an abomination,” laughed Paul. “They’re terrible. People who vote for this are not fiscally conservative. There’s nothing conservative about this.”

In the podcast, Paul also explains why a majority of Republicans are uninterested in fiscal discipline along with the vast majority of Democrats.

Sen. Paul also reacts to the Washington Post reports revealing that the Bush and Obama administrations really didn’t know what to do in Afghanistan and both actively deceived the American people about progress that wasn’t really happening. What policy does Paul think would make the most sense and prevent Afghanistan from breeding more terrorist attacks.

And listen as Sen. Paul offers his preview of the impeachment trial headed to the U.S. Senate come January.

Afghan Con Job, Pensacola Terrorism, Injecting Kids Into Politics

by

Listen to “Afghan Con Job, Pensacola Terrorism, Injecting Kids Into Politics” on Spreaker.

It’s a bleak search for good news on the Three Martini Lunch.  Today, Jim and Greg cringe as reports show the federal government has been flailing unsuccessfully for a sound policy in Afghanistan, lying to the public about what’s been achieved, and wasting an obscene amount of taxpayer dollars.  They also react to the mass shooting committed by a Saudi military officer at Pensacola Naval Air Station Friday, in what increasingly appears to be an act of Islamic terrorism.  And they roll their eyes hard as the Democratic counsel for the House Judiciary Committee claims his young son asked him a deep and probing question about the character of the president.
