GOP’s Economic Opportunity, Gutter Politics, Burgum’s Smart Bet

by

Listen to “GOP’s Economic Opportunity, Gutter Politics, Burgum’s Smart Bet” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg for another full round of martinis! After noting the White House changing its explanation of Joe’s relationship to Hunter’s business ventures, they’re excited to see polling that shows Americans are far more concerned with the economy than anything else. Does any GOP hopeful have a plan to deal effectively with the inflation brought on by rampant government spending? They also shudder as many on social media express their disappointment that Gov. Ron DeSantis was not injured during a motorcade accident this morning in Tennessee. Finally, they note North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum qualified for the first GOP presidential debate and the unique way in which he accomplished it.

Timestamps:

0:19 – White House no longer says Pres. Biden & Hunter never talked business. Now they state they were never in business together.
2:03 – Biden wants to own this economy and Americans are overwhelmingly concerned about the economy. Can the GOP take advantage of this golden opportunity?
7:34 – People upset that DeSantis was not injured in motorcade accident
12:58 – Burgum qualifies for the GOP debate after a creative fundraising strategy.

Greens Come Clean, Cuomo’s Refugees, Berkeley’s Absurd Police Alternative

by

Listen to “Greens Come Clean, Cuomo’s Refugees, Berkeley’s Absurd Police Alternative” on Spreaker.

Rob Long is in for Jim today.  He and Greg appreciate the climate change crowd joining other far left activists in admitting what we’ve known for decades – that their real goal is to kill capitalism.  Rob also tears into New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo for his ongoing celebration of himself and for claiming people from other states are now flocking to New York to be safe from the virus.  Rob also explains why countless New York businesses are on the brink of collapse because of Cuomo’s callousness.  And they have fun with Berkeley, California’s decision to have unarmed civilian city workers make traffic stops instead of police.

‘The Wake-Up Call for Americans’

by

Listen to “‘The Wake-Up Call for Americans'” on Spreaker.

As the coronavirus restriction ease faster in some places than others, stories are emerging of disturbing confrontations between police and the public.

In recent days, police in Texas brought out an MRAP and deployed a SWAT team after a bar owner defied the governor’s order to stay closed and recruited some armed citizens to help her. NYPD officers were filmed tackling social distancing violators to the sidewalk. Multiple parents have been arrested for playing with their kids in closed parks.

Rutherford Institute President John Whitehead says the lockdown orders and how they are being enforced ought to be a wake-up call for all Americans that our first, fourth, and fifth amendment rights.

Whitehead explain why he thinks we’re moving uncomfortably close to martial law in parts of the country and that heavy-handed police tactics are now used to stop people from doing anything the government doesn’t like, regardless of whether it’s constitutional.

Whitehead also details what role he believes police should be playing in our communities and what citizens can do to improve things.

by

High Tension in Hong Kong

by

Listen to “High Tension in Hong Kong” on Spreaker.

More than a million people flooded the streets of Hong Kong on multiple occasions this week in an effort to derail legislation that opponents believe is the last chance to save the business hub from the clutches of the communist Chinese regime in Beijing.

Wednesday’s protests turned violent as local authorities lashed out at the demonstrators who succeeded in delaying a vote on extradition legislation.

“The Hong Kong government, at the prodding of Beijing, has proposed an extradition bill which would allow China to take people off the streets of Hong Kong in effect,” said Gordon Chang, an East Asia policy expert and author of “The Coming Collapse of China.”

“Hong Kong right now has extradition agreements with twenty nations, not including China.  The extradition bill would broaden that and that would give Beijing the ability really to bring Hong Kong to heel.  As Hong Kong democrats say, this is the last stand of the city,” added Chang.

Listen to the full podcast to hear Chang explain what Hong Kong will look like in the coming years if the extradition bill becomes law and which very powerful ally protesters have on their side.

Essence of Evil – Part 1

by

Listen to “Essence of Evil – Part 1” on Spreaker.

Last month, Rutherford Institute President John Whitehead wrote a column that once again alerted the nation to a horrifying fact: that adults purchasing children for sex is a booming business in America.  He cited stomach-wrenching statistics like adults paying to rape kids 2.5 million times each year.  And while the statistics vary, there is no question that tens of thousands of American children are trapped in the sex trafficking trade and many more are at risk.

Whitehead’s column was entitled “The Essence of Evil: Sex with Children Has Become Big Business in America.”  We are borrowing that title for this series.  In the first of three installments on “Essence of Evil,”, we examine just how big the problem of child sex trafficking is, what these victims tragically endure, and how this has become big business.

Also, be sure to heart Part 2 of this series, in which we learn how children are lured by predators and traffickers.   We also tackle the disturbing question of why there such a huge demand among American adults for sex with children.

Finally, in Part 3 of “Essence of Evil,” we look at solutions to this crisis in our society and explore what lawmakers, law enforcement, communities, and families can do to protect children.

Listener discretion is advised, particularly if children are present.
