Truss Takes Over in the UK, Chile Chooses Freedom, Russia Restricts Energy

September 6, 2022 by GregC

Listen to “Truss Takes Over in the UK, Chile Chooses Freedom, Russia Restricts Energy” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they discuss major news from three different spots around the globe. First, they are cautiously optimistic as new British Prime Minister Liz Truss promises to govern as a conservative and that means cutting taxes to grow the economy. They also cheer the people of Chile for overwhelmingly rejecting a new far left constitution that looks an awful like the goals of Democrats in the U.S. And they brace for a very rough winter in Europe as Russia says it will restrict energy exports until “the collective west” backs off its sanctions towards Moscow.

Answering Your Questions, Part 1

August 11, 2022 by GregC

Listen to “Answering Your Questions, Part 1” on Spreaker.

We love our listeners and we love hearing from you! So we decided to ask what questions you’d like us to address.  Today we start with a great hypothetical. If conservatives won control of the House, Senate, and White House (with a supermajority in the Senate), which president from the past 100 years would we want setting the agenda and what would we want him to focus on. Then they take on a question asking what margin Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis needs to win re-election by to have real momentum for a 2024 presidential bad – and how damaging would it be for him if Sen. Marco Rubio wins by a wider margin?  Finally, they tackle a Terminator-themed political question in a crazy but intriguing final martini.

Rough Night for Republicans, Conservative Proposals Win, Kamala’s Crazy School Plan

November 6, 2019 by GregC

Listen to “Rough Night for Republicans, Conservative Proposals Win, Kamala’s Crazy School Plan” on Spreaker.

It was a long night, but we’re here and we’re glad you could join us!  Today, Jim and Greg unpack disappointing election results as Democrats win control of the Virginia legislature and Kentucky GOP Gov. Matt Bevin appears headed to defeat.  But they perk up as they see conservative policy ideas like protecting taxpayers, rejecting sanctuary city status, and tapping the brakes on affirmative action winning in moderate to liberal parts of the country. And they have zero use for a Kamala Harris proposal that would keep create a 10-hour school day (8 a.m.-6 p.m.) so it lines up with the work schedule of parents.

DeMint Offers Conservative Ideas to Improve America

October 11, 2019 by GregC

Listen to “DeMint Offers Conservative Ideas to Improve America” on Spreaker.

In the second half of our interview with Conservative Partnership Institute Chairman Jim DeMint, the former U.S. senator and co-author of “Conservative: What to Keep,” DeMint explains how conservatives want to help people who are struggling without making them dependent upon government.

He also walks us through a number of conservative policy ideas and innovations to improve our nation, including Education Savings Accounts and converting vehicles to run on natural gas.

Listen to the full podcast as DeMint also tells Greg Corombos why there isn’t much appetite for policy innovation in Congress these days and how people can come together around possible policy solutions in an era when the partisan divide seems wider than ever.

What Conservatives Want to Keep, Part 1

October 9, 2019 by GregC

Listen to “What Conservatives Want to Keep, Part 1” on Spreaker.

Whether a member of the House or Senate, Jim DeMint was known as one of the most conservative lawmakers on Capitol Hill. But what does it mean to be conservative? That’s what DeMint and colleague Rachel Bovard address in their new book “Conservative: What to Keep.”

In an interview with Greg Corombos, DeMint explains that conservative means keeping what works best for people.

“It’s keeping our covenants, keeping our faith. It’s keeping our differences, keeping our republic, which is the decentralized idea that our founders. (It also means) keeping our traditions and keeping our land of opportunities which is all about free market economics,” said DeMint.

Listen to the first part of the conversation in the this podcast as DeMint also discusses why progressives see religion as a threat to their political agenda, how politics is becoming a religion to many, and how to defend capitalism at a time when it is constantly labeled a system of greed and selfishness.

Rahm Bills Smollett, ‘Economist’ Clueless on Conservatism, Foxx’s ‘Colloquial’ Recusal

March 29, 2019 by GregC

Listen to “Rahm Bills Smollett, ‘Economist’ Clueless on Conservatism, Foxx’s ‘Colloquial’ Recusal” on Spreaker.

Rob Long of National Review Online and Greg Corombos of Radio America applaud Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel for sending Jussie Smollett a bill for more than $130,000 to cover the costs of the police to investigate his hate crime hoax.  They also shake their heads as the supposedly moderate “Economist” magazine labels Ben Shapiro a “sage of the alt-right” but then changes it to call him a “radical conservative.”  And they have a lot of fun with the news that Illinois State’s Attorney Kim Foxx didn’t really recuse herself from the Smollett case in the legal sense, just in the “colloquial” sense.

‘The Media Are Being So Hypocritical’

April 5, 2018 by GregC

http://dateline.radioamerica.org/podcast/4-5-gainor-blog.mp3

Mainstream media are blasting Sinclair Broadcast Group for having anchors at its affiliates all record the same promotional video but a conservative media watchdog says there’s nothing nefarious about the message and the bigger outlets are exposing their hostility for any sources that are not blatantly liberal.

The controversy began when the liberal sports site Deadspin edited a mashup of all the affiliates stating the same commitment to check facts before going on the air with any news stories.

Comedian and HBO host John Oliver said the video showed Sinclair and its affiliates to be a “brainwashed cult.”  CNN and MSNBC spent considerable air time denouncing the supposed group think, as did some of the broadcast networks.  That’s a decision that has Media Research Center Vice President for Culture and Business Dan Gainor fuming.

“This is a story that particularly annoys me because the media are being so hypocritical.

“These are, in many cases, journalists representing syndicated outlets: ABC, CBS, and NBC syndicate every day three to four hours of morning news, a half hour of evening news and several hours of entertainment coverage every day to their member stations,” said Gainor.

He says the mainstream reporters are getting bent out of shape over a very minor difference from their own operations.

“The only difference between that content appearing in one location or another and what Sinclar did is that Sinclair had it read by multiple people using the same script.  The broadcast networks just use the same show,” said Gainor.

So if the common promo is not worthy of such outrage, why are the big media outlets turning their guns against Sinclair?

“The broadcast networks and the lefty cable networks all think that Sinclair must be stopped.  They’re out to stop Sinclair from buying Tribune.  This is a blatant political play on behalf of the allegedly neutral journalists,” said Gainor.

Gainor also says Sinclair has a reputation for being in the tank for President Trump because it won’t cover him the way the liberal outlets do.

“Sinclair doesn’t lean as far to the left as they do.  Sinclair has been accused of being pro-Trump, but in the land of liberal media…not attacking Trump every second of the day is to the networks, by comparison, pro-Trump,” said Gainor.

Gainor says the bias in the mainstream media is obvious.  He points to CBS morning host Gayle King chiding Sinclair even though she has given “tens of thousands of dollars” to Democratic organizations.  He also says the most virulent anti-Trump reporters get rewarded, including lesser known figures like April Ryan and Brian Karem.

“No one ever heard of them prior to (anti-Trump statements in the White House Briefing Room), then as soon as that happened, they were hired by CNN,” said Gainor.

He says it’s nothing new, pointing out that 50 years ago CBS News anchor Walter Cronkite declared the Vietnam War unwinnable and even media icons like Edward R. Murrow were “huge, die hard liberals.”

Gainor says independent journalism is facing rough waters right now.

“It’s very tough.  Journalism in general hasn’t been doing well financially for many years,” said Gainor.

He says the industry took a big hit when the dot com bubble burst and suffered badly in the wake of the 2008 economic downturn.  He says that crisis also deepened the bias.

“The 2008-2009 stock market collapse caused a nationwide recession.  In journalism it caused a nationwide depression.  Journalists lost their jobs by the thousands and they haven’t really come back.  So the journalists all want to save their jobs and attack anyone who disagrees with them,” said Gainor.

Gainor says it is vital to our nation and our politics for independent and conservative media to have a place in the arena.  He says there are two key ways for that to happen.

“We need top donors to get involved to fund more conservative outlets.  There’s new outlets opening up all the time.  That’s an opportunity.  But outlets are only as good as the people who staff them.  So I strongly encourage young conservatives to go into journalism,” said Gainor.
