Avenatti Sentenced Again, Senate GOP Surrendering, Bolton 2024?

December 6, 2022 by GregC

Listen to “Avenatti Sentenced Again, Senate GOP Surrendering, Bolton 2024?” on Spreaker.

Jim and Greg welcome the 14-year prison sentence handed down to former attorney and cable news darling Michael Avenatti for his crimes of corruption and they warn supporters of both parties not to fall in love with celebrities who happen to say a couple of things you agree with. They also slam Senate Republicans for being way too helpful in passing the Democrats’ lame duck agenda. That strategy apparently includes passing an omnibus spending bill instead of a short-term bill that would give the new House GOP majority much more leverage on appropriations. Finally, as former National Security Adviser John Bolton weighs a 2024 presidential run, they don’t believe his candidacy would go anywhere or be decisive in derailing President Trump.

GOP’s 2020 Optimism, ‘American Taliban’ Freed Early, Avenatti Faces Storm of Charges

May 23, 2019 by GregC

Listen to “GOP's 2020 Optimism, ‘American Taliban’ Freed Early, Avenatti Faces Storm of Charges” on Spreaker.

Jim Geraghty of the National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America break down the Republican Party’s special election victory in Pennsylvania’s 12th District. They also grumble about the early release of ‘American Taliban’ John Walker Lindh and use the discussion of terrorism to highlight Jim’s brand new book, “Between Two Scorpions.” And they’re not exactly shocked to learn about Michael Avenatti getting indicted on a new series of criminal charges for allegedly defrauding his former client, Stormy Daniels. However, they do use it as yet another example of the media lavishing praise on an obviously disturbed figure just because it helps their political narrative.

Swetnick’s Changing Story, GOP House in Danger, Hirono’s Latest Hit

October 2, 2018 by GregC

Listen to “Swetnick’s Changing Story, GOP House in Danger, Hirono’s Latest Hit” on Spreaker.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America react as Kavanaugh accuser Julie Swetnick fails even to grasp the timeline of events this summer and then radically walks back her allegations that Brett Kavanaugh drugged and raped girls while in high school.  They also wince as the National Republican Congressional Committee pulls back major support for four embattled House incumbents.  And they roll their eyes as CNN asks Sen. Mazie Hirono if allegations that Kavanaugh threw ice at someone in a car 33 years ago is disqualifying for his bid to be a Supreme Court justice and Hirono gives another ludicrous response.

‘This is an Attack on What it Means to be a Free People’

September 26, 2018 by GregC

Listen to “'This is an Attack on What it Means to be a Free People'” on Spreaker.

Three women now accuse Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of serious sexual misconduct, but with no corroborating witnesses or evidence for any allegations, prominent conservative columnist and author Kurt Schlichter says Democrats must be defeated in their attempt to defeat Kavanaugh through “a burning garbage fire of lies.”

Schlichter is a senior columnist at townhall.com and author of the forthcoming book “Militant Normals: How Regular Americans are Rebelling Against the Elite to Reclaim Our Democracy.”

The latest allegation against Kavanaugh comes from Michael Avenatti, attorney for Stormy Daniels, whose client claims Kavanaugh spiked the punch at high school parties in the early 1980’s and then helped orchestrate gang rapes of incapacitated women.

Schlicter says the onslaught of eleventh hour allegations against Kavanaugh from more than 35 years ago is blatant smear campaign that must be defeated.

“It’s critical.  The Democrats have to lose.  They cannot win.  This cannot stand,” said Schlichter, predicting that if Kavanaugh were to withdraw the Democrats would bring forth similar tactics against any other nominee.

Instead, he says the GOP must plow through as Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has vowed to do and let Democrats know they’ll do it again when and if a liberal justice retires while Republicans control the Senate and the White House.

But Schlichter says this is actually about principles far bigger than which party has the majority on Capitol Hill.  Schlichter, who is also a trial lawyer, says Democrats are perfectly happy to cast aside the hallmarks of our justice system.

“For cheap political advantage, you have Democrats getting rid of concepts like the right to confront your accuser, the right to cross-examine your accuser, the right to a presumption of innocence.  All that out the window for cheap political advantage.

“This isn’t just a judicial seat.  This is the most basic foundations of our Anglo-American jurisprudence.  This is an attack on what it means to be a free people that embraces liberty,” said Schlichter.

While some on the right wonder if Kavanaugh should withdraw because he would have such a tarnished reputation on the court, Schlichter says it’s more important to defeat the Democrats and allies like Avenatti in their efforts to take down Kavanaugh.

“We must say no.  No to these last-minute attacks, no to these manifest lies.  No to Stripper Matlock (Avenatti).  Does Stripper Matlock sound like the guy you’d go to if you really, really believed you had a meritorious case.

“I’m a trial lawyer in Los Angeles.  I know about guys like this.  I deal with guys like this.  You don’t go to guys like this if you are serious.  You go to guys like this if you’re trying to get on MSNBC.  You go to guys like this if you have a bogus claim that you know he’ll scream and yell about,” said Schlichter.

In our conversation, Schlichter also dismissed the accuser for supposedly knowing about regular drugging and gang rape and yet continuing to attend such parties.

As for this week, Schlichter says it’s a 50-50 proposition that the initial accuser, Dr. Christine Ford appears at all for Thursday’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearing.  He says the Democrats and media will laud Ford as compelling and brilliant regardless of her performance.

He says getting Kavanaugh confirmed is imperative, but if Democrats peel off two Republicans to defeat the nomination, he hopes Trump and the Republicans make this fight the central message of the midterm election season.

“You, the American people, will decide.  If you vote Republican, you are going to take the side of justice and truth and if you vote Democrat, you’re going to take the side of lies,” said Schlichter.
