Targeting TikTok, Americans’ Economic Pessimism, Border Blame Shifting

December 19, 2022 by GregC

Listen to “Targeting TikTok, Americans’ Economic Pessimism, Border Blame Shifting” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome a get-tough approach on China. They applaud Wisconsin Rep. Mike Gallagher warning Americans to get rid of the TikTok app because it’s basically a data harvesting tool of the Chinese Communist Party. They also groan as twice as many Americans described the economy in negative terms, 65 percent said the economy is headed in the wrong direction, and more than half expect it to get worse in 2023. Finally, they slam ABC’s Martha Raddatz for accusing Republicans of creating the border crisis by slamming President Biden’s policies – instead of the open border policies themselves.

Encore: Making Sense of the Midterms

November 23, 2022 by GregC

Listen to “Encore: Making Sense of the Midterms” on Spreaker.

Jim and Greg will be back with brand new podcasts on Thursday and Friday. As they both go on vacation today, let’s look back at their analysis of the midterm elections from two weeks ago. At the time they noted some of the big races that slipped away from the GOP, cheered the big wins in places like Florida and Texas, and discussed what lessons can be learned in the immediate aftermath of the voting.

Making Sense of the Midterms

November 9, 2022 by GregC

Listen to “Making Sense of the Midterms” on Spreaker.

Jim and Greg shake off the surprise of of an underwhelming midterm election for Republicans to dissect why Democrats were able to win so many races that the GOP seemed to have a good shot at. They chronicle the key races that got away, cheer the big wins in places like Florida and Texas, and note that the Republicans still have a good chance at winning the House and have a path left to claiming the majority in the Senate. And they try to determine what the GOP need to do differently or better in future election cycles.

Beto Still Behind, GOP’s Slim Senate Hopes, Alaska’s Odd Elections

August 16, 2022 by GregC

Listen to “Beto Still Behind, GOP’s Slim Senate Hopes, Alaska’s Odd Elections” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome the news that after big fundraising numbers and weeks of intense campaigning, that Beto O’Rourke is still well behind Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and hasn’t improved his numbers at all. They also cringe as the National Republican Senatorial Committee shifts resources around to help candidates who have underperformed in their own fundraising. And as Alaska voters head to the polls they give thumbs down to the state’s system of advancing four candidates to the general election and using ranked choice to determine a winner.

Redefining A Recession, Al Gore’s Ugly Analogy, Media Boost Beto Again

July 25, 2022 by GregC

Listen to “Redefining ‘Recession,’ Al Gore’s Ugly Analogy, Media Boost Beto Again” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they hammer the Biden economic team for insisting two straight quarters of negative economic growth is not necessarily a recession. They also verbally pummel former Vice President Al Gore for comparing anyone not on board with his big government climate agenda to the police who refused to confront the shooter in Uvalde, Texas. And they get a kick out of NBC News once again wondering if this is the year that Democrats win in Texas with yet another glowing profile of Beto O’Rourke and his uphill campaign for governor.

Why Did the Police Wait? Beto’s Pathetic Stunt, Is Sussmann About to Skate?

May 26, 2022 by GregC

Listen to “Why Did the Police Wait? Beto’s Pathetic Stunt, Is Sussmann About to Skate?” on Spreaker.

Former federal prosecutor Andrew C. McCarthy is in for Jim today. Andy and Greg try to figure out why police would wait 40 minutes before entering the Texas elementary school when they there was carnage unfolding inside. They also slam Beto O’Rourke for trying to score political points by interrupting the governor’s press conference in Uvalde on Wednesday. And McCarthy brings us up to speed on the Durham investigation into the origins of the Russian collusion narrative, and he explains why Michael Sussmann may be acquitted even though it’s patently obvious that he lied to the FBI.

Defying Beijing, No Gov. McConaughey, WHO Bows to Xi

November 29, 2021 by GregC

Listen to “Defying Beijing, No Gov. McConaughey, WHO Bows to Xi” on Spreaker.

Jim and Greg cheer the bipartisan congressional delegation that defied Chinese demands not to visit Taiwan. They also react to the news that actor Matthew McConaughey will not run for governor in Texas. And they groan as the World Health Organization skips a letter of the Greek alphabet in naming the new COVID variant so it would not offend China.

GOP’s Midterm Momentum, Beto Runs Again, Dems Urge Lower Expectations

November 15, 2021 by GregC

Listen to “GOP’s Midterm Momentum, Beto Runs Again, Dems Urge Lower Expectations” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they relish a stunning Washington post poll showing Republicans with a 10-point advantage on the generic ballot and Republicans with a big edge in the suburbs.  Given those political conditions, they welcome the news that Beto O’Rourke thinks this is is the cycle that Democrats can win back the governor’s office in Texas.  And they fire back as Jen Psaki suggests rapidly rising energy prices are proof we need to move away from fossil fuels and left-leaning media suggest the real story in this economic mess is that we need to lower our expectations.

Texas Dems Go AWOL, Government & Your Text Messages, WHO Does China’s Bidding Again

July 13, 2021 by GregC

Listen to “Texas Dems Go AWOL, Government & Your Text Messages, WHO Does China’s Bidding Again” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they hammer Democrats in Texas for fleeing to Washington to avoid voting on an election reform bill. They also note how the media has very different views depending on whether Republicans or Democrats are trying to block legislation. They also rip the Biden administration for even thinking about injecting “fact check” messages into our texting threads to counter alleged disinformation. And they groan as the World Health Organization keeps catering to China, this time by buying 110 million doses of Chinese COVID vaccines that don’t work very well.

Abbott Acts on Border Crisis, Stunning COVID Cover Up, Oregon Counties Want to Secede

June 3, 2021 by GregC

Listen to “Abbott Acts on Border Crisis, Stunning COVID Cover Up, Oregon Counties Want to Secede” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they credit Texas Gov. Greg Abbott for taking action on the border crisis while the Biden administration dithers. They also react to the explosive Vanity Fair story exposing how State Department officials and scientists furiously tried to stop investigations into whether COVID-19 leaked from a Wuhan lab. And they sympathize with residents in eastern Oregon who want to secede to Idaho. While they think the likelihood of that happening is low, they also devise an incentive system for state governments to improve.
