Manchin & the Filibuster, Libs & Their Lists, Dr. Emanuel & COVID

November 10, 2020 by GregC

Listen to “Manchin & the Filibuster, Libs & Their Lists, Dr. Emanuel & COVID” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome West Virginia Democrat Joe Manchin saying he will not vote to end the filibuster in the U.S. Senate. They also unload on AOC, Jennifer Rubin, Evan McMullin, and other lefties who want to see anyone supporting President Trump’s legal challenges added to lists of people who should be shunned from government, academia, and polite society. And they shudder as the Obamacare architect who thinks people are no longer useful after age 75 is named to Joe Biden’s COVID task force.

Carr’s China Smackdown, Emanuel’s Dire Demand, The Politics of Hydroxychloroquine

April 10, 2020 by GregC

Listen to “Carr’s China Smackdown, Emanuel’s Dire Demand, The Politics of Hydroxychloroquine” on Spreaker.

National Review Online Contributing Editor Rob Long is in for Jim today.  Rob and Greg relish FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr’s Twitter demolishing a Chinese officials boast of a free Chinese society by listing numerous regime critics and whistleblowers he would like to see “undisappeared.”  They also unload on Obamacare figure Ezekiel Emanuel for suggesting that we can’t go back to normal until we have a vaccine 12-18 months from now, with Rob pointing out Emanuel is now making the exact opposite argument he made a decade ago.  And they discuss the bizarre politicizing of hydroxychloroquine, with some media seeming eager for the drug not to work just so they can say President Trump was wrong.

Smollett Charges Dropped: Is Privilege to Blame?

March 26, 2019 by GregC

Listen to “Smollett Charges Dropped: Is Privilege to Blame?” on Spreaker.

Prosecutors in Chicago stunned the nation Tuesday by dropping all charges against actor Jussie Smollett while still asserting that Smollett faked a hate crime against himself and cost the Chicago Police Department hundreds of hours and hundreds of thousands of dollars to investigate the case.

“We did not exonerate Mr. Smollett. The charges were dropped in return for Mr. Smollett’s agreement to do community service and forfeit his $10,000 bond to the City of Chicago. Without the completion of these terms, the charges would not have been dropped. This outcome was met under the same criteria that would occur for and is available to any defendant with similar circumstances,” said Tandra Simonton of the Cook County State’s Attorney Office.

Law professor and attorney Horace Cooper, who is also co-chair of the black conservative Project 21 Advisory Board, is appalled by the decision.

“There is nothing I have witnessed in my time…where a prosecution is completely dropped – not deferred but completely dropped – without an acknowledgement of some sort of act of contrition and without any new information coming in to call into question the substance of the original allegations,” said Cooper.

Cooper further asserts the Smollett case proves there is unfair privilege in the U.S., just not in the way that many activists suggest.

“What’s revealing to some people is that this differential between what happens with main street Americans and those who are penthouse Americans: it isn’t actually a function of race.  It is a function of wealth and status,” said Cooper.

He says news that former Michelle Obama chief of staff Tina Tchen spoke with prosecutors also proves his point.

“If you and I were charged, the former first lady’s lawyer’s friends will not be calling on our behalf.  There is nothing like this for main street America,” added Cooper.

Even Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel blasted the decision to drop the charges, pointing out that a grand jury agreed to charge Smollett on 16 counts after seeing just a fraction of the evidence.  He’s also aghast that Smollett was allowed to go free and once again proclaim his innocence.

Cooper points out that Smollett had the opportunity to plead guilty to one count on the initial indictment and likely walk away with a slap on the wrist.  It was only after the actor doubled down on his story that the grand jury returned 16 counts against him.

Listen to the full podcast to hear Cooper explain what option the Chicago Police Department can still pursue in the courts, and why he believes hate crime laws are a bad idea and actually encourage people to play the victim even when no crime has occurred.

2020 Dem Infighting Begins, Trump & Cohen, The Girl Named Abcde

November 30, 2018 by GregC

Listen to “2020 Dem Infighting Begins, Trump & Cohen, The Girl Named Abcde” on Spreaker.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America start popping the popcorn as Democrats start squabbling with each other over 2020.  Rahm Emanuel calls Beto O’Rourke a “loser” and many Democrats are very frosty with New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand for leading the charge against Minnesota Sen. Al Franken last year.  They also shake their heads in the wake of Michael Cohen’s guilty plea as the president who says he only selects the best people winds up calling Cohen weak and not very smart.  And they react to the story of a Southwest Airlines employee mocking a girl named Abcde but also point out the girl’s mom is setting her daughter up for a lifetime of teasing and frustration.  They also share some of their favorite stories about unusual names.

Sasse’s Constitutional Smackdown, Kyl Replaces McCain, Rahm Finally Leaves

September 5, 2018 by GregC

Listen to “Sasse’s Constitutional Smackdown, Kyl Replaces McCain, Rahm Finally Leaves” on Spreaker.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America savor three good martinis for conservatives.  First, they applaud Nebraska Sen. Ben Sasse for reminding his fellow senators of the constitutional purpose of the judicial branch, how Brett Kavanaugh out to be evaluated, and why the political “charades” needs to stop.  They also cheer Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey for naming former Sen. Jon Kyl to replace John McCain in the U.S. Senate until the 2020 election.  And they welcome Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s decision not to seek another term and reflect on his disastrous record in both Washington and the Windy City.

January 25, 2017 by GregC

http://dateline.radioamerica.org/podcast/3-Martini-Lunch-1-25-17.mp3

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America are very encouraged by the final two names President Trump is reportedly considering for the Supreme Court vacancy.  They also cringe as Trump once again insists he lost the popular vote only through rampant voter fraud by illegal aliens.  And they slam Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel for claiming a lack of federal assistance is to blame for the huge number of murders in his city.
