Join Jim and Greg as they applaud the congressional testimony of former FBI Special Agent Nicole Parker about how the politics of the FBI’s leadership are affecting the work and the credibility of the bureau. But will shining the spotlight on this result in any meaningful changes? They also fume as new reporting on Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman’s stroke and very difficult recovery prove that the campaign and Fetterman’s doctor flat-out lied to the people of Pennsylvania and that Fetterman’s inability to process what he hears is making it very difficult for him to do his job. Finally, they unload on the State Department for spending U.S. tax dollars through outside groups to muzzle conservative reporting through the Orwellian-sounding Global Disinformation Index.

House GOP Chaos, Media Bury Times Square Attack, Short-Sighted Climate Logic
Happy New Year! Jim and Greg are back to their usual format but kick off the year with three crazy martinis after discussing the cardiac arrest of Buffalo Bills defensive back Damar Hamlin Monday night. They dig into the chaos within the House GOP conference as Kevin McCarthy fails to win enough votes to become Speaker of the House on the first ballot. They also wince as the Islamic extremist who attacked police with a machete in Times Square on New Year’s Eve was on the FBI’s radar. And they hammer the media for burying the story once the motive was known. Finally, they roll their eyes as a New York Times column argues people need to be looking for shorter mates so they can have shorter children who will be less of a strain on our planet.

‘Red Wave of Cash,’ Fed Predicts More ‘Pain,’ FBI’s Election Meddling
Listen to “‘Red Wave of Cash,’ Fed Predicts More ‘Pain,’ FBI’s Election Meddling” on Spreaker.
Join Jim and Greg as they welcome the news that badly outspent GOP candidates are getting an infusion of $160 million from Mitch McConnell’s Super PAC for the final push to November. They also shudder as Fed Chairman Jerome Powell says he will be acting aggressively to rein in inflation but that many people will feel “pain” in the meantime. And they hammer the FBI after Facebook Founder Mark Zuckerberg tells Joe Rogan how the Bureau told Facebook to be on the lookout to confront expected Russian disinformation. That led Facebook to limit the reach of posts related to the Hunter Biden laptop story.
Youngkin’s Strong Start, FBI Plays Politics, Recipe for Election Chaos
Listen to “Youngkin’s Strong Start, FBI Plays Politics, Recipe for Election Chaos” on Spreaker.
Join Jim and Greg as they welcome good poll numbers for Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin and strong support for much of his agenda. They also shudder as Sen. Chuck Grassley unveils more evidence that the FBI actively covered up allegations against Hunter Biden during the 2020 campaign. And they point out the insanity of Maryland election law allowing mail-in ballots to arrive 10 days after election day – and fear this could create tremendous controversy if it happens in key races around the country this year.

Why Did the Police Wait? Beto’s Pathetic Stunt, Is Sussmann About to Skate?
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.
Republicans Lead NV Senate Race, FBI Missed NYC Shooter, Pathetic Start for CNN+
Listen to “Republicans Lead NV Senate Race, FBI Missed NYC Shooter, Pathetic Start for CNN+” on Spreaker.
Join Jim and Greg as they break down the latest polling on the Senate race in Nevada which has Republican Adam Laxalt ahead of incumbent Democrat Catherine Cortez Masto. They also shake their heads in response to news that Frank James, the suspect in the subway shooting in Brooklyn, was on the FBI’s radar as recently as 2019. This incident is only the latest in a string of cases where the perpetrator was known to the agency before they committed violent actions. And after two weeks, it is obvious that CNN+, CNN’s new premium streaming service, is a pathetic failure with an average viewership of only 10,000 viewers a day.

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome new Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin and applaud him following up on his campaign promises on his very first day. They also credit the FBI for a successful resolution to the hostage crisis at a Texas synagogue on Saturday but then fume as the bureau, the media, and the president claim the motive for the incident is a mystery. And they hammer the Salt Lake Tribune for suggesting the national guard should be called in to make sure the unvaccinated never leave their homes.
