Beto Still Behind, GOP’s Slim Senate Hopes, Alaska’s Odd Elections

August 16, 2022 by GregC

Listen to “Beto Still Behind, GOP’s Slim Senate Hopes, Alaska’s Odd Elections” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome the news that after big fundraising numbers and weeks of intense campaigning, that Beto O’Rourke is still well behind Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and hasn’t improved his numbers at all. They also cringe as the National Republican Senatorial Committee shifts resources around to help candidates who have underperformed in their own fundraising. And as Alaska voters head to the polls they give thumbs down to the state’s system of advancing four candidates to the general election and using ranked choice to determine a winner.

Midterm Miscalculation? CDC’s Lockdown Spying, #NeverConservatives & SCOTUS

May 4, 2022 by GregC

Listen to “Midterm Miscalculation? CDC’s Lockdown Spying, #NeverConservatives & SCOTUS” on Spreaker.

Join Greg and Ricochet.com Editor-in-Chief Jon Gabriel as they welcome fundraising and polling news that significantly contradicts the idea that overturning Roe v. Wade will move midterm momentum to the Democrats. They also shudder at reports the CDC as tracking our movements through our cell phones to make sure we were complying with lockdown orders. And they take aim at the Lincoln Project and others who pretended to be conservatives for many years but are now supposedly appalled at the idea of Roe being struck down.

Iranian Aggression, Castro Quits, Trump’s War Chest

January 2, 2020 by GregC

Listen to “Iranian Aggression, Castro Quits, Trump’s Warchest” on Spreaker.

Happy New Year! Grab a stool, as Jim and Greg return to their normal format for 2020. Today, they’re grateful that the attack on the U.S. embassy in Baghdad was successfully stopped and no one was hurt and they also hope there are severe repercussions for the attack’s Iranian sponsors. They’re happy to see Julian Castro exit the campaign trail after a campaign that was rich in pandering but never found much support. And they discuss President Trump’s $102 million cash on hand and the impact that could make in the campaign.

Trump’s Re-election Funds; Sanders-Warren Truce Under Strain; Novel Border Security Ideas

October 3, 2019 by GregC

Listen to “Trump’s Re-election Funds; Sanders-Warren Truce Under Strain; Novel Border Security Ideas” on Spreaker.
Jim Geraghty of National Review and Rich McFadden of Radio America tackle two good martinis and one crazy as Rich sits in for Greg Corombos. First, they marvel at President Trump’s $125 million fundraising haul in the third quarter of 2019. They also notice brewing tensions on the far left as Bernie Sanders starts criticizing Elizabeth Warren for refusing to admit she will have to raise taxes to pay for her progressive agenda. And they shake their heads as Trump reportedly advocated a snake-filled moat at the border and for border agents to shoot people in the legs if they were coming in illegally.

Bernie Rakes in Cash, Castro Calls for Open Borders, Left vs. Free Speech

April 3, 2019 by GregC

Listen to “Bernie Rakes in Cash, Castro Calls for Open Borders, Left vs. Free Speech” on Spreaker.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America worry that Republicans and Democrats are underestimating Sen. Bernie Sanders’ chances in 2020 after the 77-year-old socialist from Vermont blew his competition out of the water by raising $18 million in his first six weeks. They also remember that Julian Castro is running after the former DNC darling from Texas called for decriminalizing illegal border crossings. And they unload on CNN’s Christiane Amanpour after she asks former FBI Director James Comey whether the federal government should have clamped down on chants of “lock her up” against Hillary Clinton during the 2016 campaign.

‘We Want to Help Create the Next Generation of Responsible Young Adults’

January 17, 2018 by GregC

http://dateline.radioamerica.org/podcast/1-17-epstein-blog.mp3

An ambitious new program known as Healing the Wounds is underway to build up and mentor the children of fallen military service members and law enforcement officers, combining the Alaskan wilderness with career and leadership training to last a lifetime, according to its founder.

The year-long program will be geared towards children aged 12-17.

Healing the Wounds President Jeffrey Epstein spent years leading wilderness experiences for families and groups in Alaska and strongly believes the changes he saw in those clients could also do a world of good for young people trying to chart a path forward following the loss of a parent in service to the nation or their community.

“I’d like to roll this out for the children of out nation’s fallen heroes – and that includes both law enforcement and the military – and provide them with the same opportunities, but actually help mentor them with unprecedented opportunities to blossom and lead productive lives,” said Epstein.

“We really want to have an impact.  We want to help create the next generation of responsible young adults,” he added.  However, he notes that the program will require the total focus of the young people.  As a result, they will have no access to cell phones or other gadgets while in Alaska.  Communications back home will be for emergencies only.

Epstein says in a world flooded with negativity, he wants Healing the Wounds to focus young people on noble pursuits.

“It’s a solutions-based initiative.  We created the organization to focus on what’s possible at a time when so much of society is laser-focused on what’s wrong.  We want to build character, self-confidence, and leadership skills,” said Epstein.

And what does that look like?

“This is a 12-month program.  We’re going to continue to mentor them through webinars and tutorials and regional gatherings but also we’re going to expose them to a dozen or so potential career paths, and we’re going to support them with a call-in center year-round as well,” said Epstein.

“One of the things we’re looking at doing is setting some type of program where we can send them out into different industries, not just the exposure up front but the internships as they work through the years that they’re affiliated with us so we can help them prepare, plan and gain experience in those different potential career paths,” said Epstein.

Epstein already has one critical supporter of Healing the Wounds – the U.S. Army.

“I was interviewed early on by a news organization and it caught their eye.  They said, ‘You know what?  We’re so enthusiastic about what you’re trying to do here.  Just let us know when you’re funded and when you’re ready to go.  We have thousands of teenagers that would be in a position to take advantage of this,'” said Epstein.

Other prominent military figures are also on board, including retired U.S. Air Force Lt. General Thomas McInerney and retired U.S. Army Lt. General William “Jerry” Boykin.  Other recent additions to the advisory board include Gold Star mother Karen Vaughn, retired U.S. Army Green Beret Captain Mykel Hawke, and Taya Kyle, widow of Chris Kyle.

But before the program can begin though, Epstein says significant fundraising is needed.

“We’re ready to go.  We’re just trying to raise funding and also build membership.  We’re trying to develop a national team of people that will come aboard as members.  They can be as active as they want to be.  They’ll have the potential to advance any ideas they have,” said Epstein, who sets a goal of 90 percent of all donations going directly to Healing the Wounds programs.

And how will Epstein and his colleagues gauge the success of the program in years to come?

“I think the easiest way to measure results is how happy and productive they turn out in the long run,” said Epstein.

Trump’s Afghan Twist, Dem Donors Dry Up, Blowing Up the Confederacy

August 22, 2017 by GregC


Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America give President Trump credit for admitting his Afghanistan policy changes go against his instincts, and they also like some of the other changes he outlined in a policy with few good options.  They also enjoy seeing the woeful fundraising totals for the DNC in July and discuss the deep dysfunction still engulfing the Democrats.  And they shake their heads as a criminal in Texas is arrested for plotting to bring down a Confederate statue with explosives.
