by

Listen to “Trump Warns Russia, GOP Still Without Health Plan, McAuliffe 2020?” on Spreaker.

Rob Long of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America applaud President Trump for telling the Russians to get out of Venezuela but worry about what might happen if they don’t.  They also groan as congressional Republicans still don’t have a strategy on health care if Obamacare gets struck down in the courts.  And they ask if even politics is becoming a 1990’s rerun after longtime DNC chairman and former Virginia Gov.Terry McAuliffe hints he will run in 2020.

It’s Mueller Time

by

Listen to “It’s Mueller Time” on Spreaker.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America are glad to see the Mueller report conclude that neither Donald Trump not anyone else in his campaign conspired with Russia to influence the 2016 elections. They also get a kick out of Trump critics frantically moving the goalposts to claim the new attorney general is doing Trump’s bidding or that the real action is in Congress or with the federal prosecutors in New York. And they shake their heads at the overall performance of the mainstream media in covering this story since the last presidential campaign.

No More Mueller Indictments? Trump Embraces Kraft, Why 2020 Dems Are Weird

by

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.

Koppel Calls Out Media, Trump Keeps Bashing McCain, Biden-Abrams 2020?

by

Listen to “Koppel Calls Out Media, Trump Keeps Bashing McCain, Biden-Abrams 2020?” on Spreaker.

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.

Pelosi Backs Off Impeachment, NYC on the Brink, Celebrity College Cheats

by

Listen to “Pelosi Backs Off Impeachment, NYC on the Brink, Celebrity College Cheats” on Spreaker.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America are a bit surprised by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff signaling they don’t plan to pursue impeachment of President Trump unless there’s a bipartisan consensus for it. They also look on sadly as New York City’s exorbitant taxes and hard left policies leave the city careening towards bankruptcy. And they crack a few pop-culture jokes but also weigh in on the serious issues as celebrities and elites around the country are charged with bribing colleges and universities to admit their kids under false pretenses.

Reining in the Executive, ‘Weekly Standard’ Folds, Cohen’s Imaginary Legacy

by

Listen to “Reining in the Executive, ‘Weekly Standard’ Folds, Cohen’s Imaginary Legacy” on Spreaker.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America are glad to see some liberals embracing the conclusion that the executive branch – and the presidency in particular – has accumulated far more power than our founders intended.  They just wonder whether lefties will still have these concerns once one of their own is in the White House.  They also regret the news that the “Weekly Standard” will soon cease publication.  And they’re a bit bewildered as President Trump’s personal attorney-turned-adversary, Michael Cohen, tells ABC News that he hopes his legacy will be that he helped to unify the nation.

Mitch Allows A Vote, Trump & Time Magazine, MSNBC & the Next Chief of Staff

by

Listen to “Mitch Allows A Vote, Trump & Time Magazine, MSNBC & the Next Chief of Staff” on Spreaker.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America react to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announcing there will be a vote on the criminal justice reform bill known as the FIRST STEP Act.  They also discuss Time magazine’s selection of Jamal Khashoggi and other murdered and persecuted journalists as the “Person of the Year” and take time to explain that no one can equate President Trump’s treatment of the media to the murders and imprisonment for the press in other parts of the world.  And they assess  MSNBC hosts Stephanie Ruhle and Ali Velshi being appalled that each person supposedly being considered by Trump to be the next chief of staff is a white male.

Listen to “Clearing the Barr, Gun Grabbers Target Insurance, Oscar Upheaval” on Spreaker.

Daniel Foster of National Review Online and Greg Corombos of Radio America applaud President Trump’s nomination of Bill Barr to be attorney general and also sound off on Trump’s choice of Heather Nauert for UN ambassador and rumors that White House Chief of Staff John Kelly may soon resign.  They also fire back at liberals in New York pushing legislation requiring residents to have a million dollars in liability insurance before buying a gun – and that’s only part of the story.  And they groan as comedian Kevin Hart is forced to give up hosting the Oscars because he refused to apologize yet again for tweets he made a decade ago.

by

Listen to “Warren’s DNA Worries, Media Make Funeral About Trump, Trump Ditching Pence for 2020?” on Spreaker.

Daniel Foster of National Review Online and Greg Corombos of Radio America get a kick out of reports that Elizabeth Warren and her team are still trying to do damage control over her DNA stunt.  They also unload on the mainstream media for insisting that every kind word said Wednesday about the late George H.W. Bush was somehow an obvious rebuke of President Trump.  And they react to news that Trump is at least contemplating a change in running mates for 2020.

Manafort & Assange, Beto & 2020,Trump & General Motors

by

Listen to “Manafort & Assange, Beto & 2020,Trump & General Motors” on Spreaker.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America serve up all crazy martinis Tuesday.  They begin with a report from the UK Guardian newspaper that Paul Manafort met multiple times with Julian Assange in London, including early 2016 when Manafort was about to become chairman for the Trump campaign.  They also get a kick out of Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke abandoning his pledge never to run for president in 2020 just three weeks after making it.  And they wonder whether taxpayers will wind up on the hook again as President Trump tries to stop General Motors from shuttering five plants and laying off thousands of workers in the U.S.
