Dems Stuck in the House, Legendary Bad Advice, Manchin vs. AOC

November 13, 2020 by GregC

Listen to “Dems Stuck in the House, Legendary Bad Advice, Manchin vs. AOC” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they relish Democrats likely having such a tight majority in the House that it will be tough for many to accept jobs in the executive branch because the vacancies could make it tough for Democrats to get much legislation done. They also hammer musician John Legend for suggesting you’ll do more good donating to Democrats running for U.S. Senate in Georgia than giving to your local food bank. And they update the infighting among Democrats by discussing the latest salvos from Joe Manchin and AOC.

And they hammer New York Times columnist Tom Friedman for urging Democrats to move to Georgia in order to help the party win the Senate races there.

Props to the Patriots, 6.6 Million More Out of Work, Clueless Kemp

April 2, 2020 by GregC

Listen to “Props to the Patriots, 6.6 Million More Out of Work, Clueless Kemp” on Spreaker.

The coronavirus crisis has gotten to the point where Jim Geraghty is saying nice things about the New England Patriots and owner Robert Kraft after Kraft dispatched the team plane to China to pick up 1.2 million N95 masks.  Jim and Greg also tackle the brutal loss of 6.6 million more jobs in the past week and wonder how soon we’ll have no choice but to reopen various sectors or regions of our economy.  And they throw their hands up as Georgia GOP Gov. Brian Kemp says he only realized this week that COVID-19 could be spread by people before they start feeling sick.

Pathetic Impeachment Dreams, Trump Hosts Erdogan, Georgia Slipping Away?

November 13, 2019 by GregC

Listen to “Pathetic Impeachment Dreams, Trump Hosts Erdogan, Georgia Slipping Away?” on Spreaker.

As the impeachment drama kicks off, Jim and Greg nearly injure themselves rolling their eyes as a longtime Republican aide who is pro-impeachment suggests allowing a secret ballot vote in the Senate to improve the odds of President Trump being removed from office.  They also slam Trump for warmly welcoming Turkish President Erdogan despite his atrocities towards the Kurds and other antagonism towards the U.S.  And they cringe a bit when looking at numbers suggesting Democrats might have a chance at winning Georgia this year, although they do find a deeply satisfying silver lining.

Dem Popularity Plunge, Ross Should be Tossed, Ossoff Mania 2.0, Bolton Bolts

September 10, 2019 by GregC

Listen to “Dem Popularity Plunge, Ross Should be Tossed, Ossoff Mania 2.0, Bolton Bolts” on Spreaker.

Breaking news makes this a four martini lunch!  Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America start by noting the Democrats have lost every bit of the approval advantage they enjoyed over the GOP a year ago and Jim offers an analysis that both parties would be wise to heed but never will.  They also slam Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross for reportedly threatening to fire high-ranking officials at NOAA if there was not a statement released defending President Trump’s outdated forecast for Hurricane Dorian.  Jim says if the reports are true, Ross should lose his job.  They brace them themselves for the media to fall in love with Democrat Jon Ossoff all over again as the special election golden boy from 2017 (who lost) is now running for U.S. Senate in Georgia.  And they react to the breaking news that John Bolton is out as National Security Adviser in the Trump administration.

James Mattis making an urgent plea to end political tribalism because a unified America is a stronger America.  They’re also sad to learn that health problems are forcing the retirement of Georgia GOP Sen. Johnny Isakson and they’re also not thrilled that there’s another Republican-held seat headed to the ballot in 2020.  And they discuss why the allegations of Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar may raise legal issues and possibly complicate her political future.

Abortion Battles Intensify

May 7, 2019 by GregC

Listen to “Abortion Battles Intensify” on Spreaker.

The abortion debate is intensifying on multiple fronts, as pro-life lawmakers make Georgia the latest state to ban abortion once a fetal heartbeat is detected and a Pennsylvania lawmaker comes under fire for harassing pro-life activists outside a Planned Parenthood clinic in Philadelphia.

On Tuesday, Georgia became the latest in a string of states to outlaw abortion once the baby’s heartbeat can be detected.  Americans United for Life Chief Engagement Officer Tom Shakely says these debates highlight those who understand the science of pregnancy and those who don’t.

“This Georgia bill illustrates the divide that exists between folks who, on the one hand, increasingly want to deny scientific and medical reality and other folks who want to recognize it,” said Shakely.

Shakely admits that the state laws do not actually change anything in the U.S. – at least not yet.  He says the federal abortion law framework established in Roe v. Wade still supersedes state laws, but he’s hopeful that they set a precedent that will be embraced by the courts.

In Pennsylvania, State Rep. Brian Sims is under fire from pro-life groups after livestreaming himself harassing a senior citizen and three teenage girls who were praying outside a Planned Parenthood facility.  Sims berated the women for several minutes, told them they ought to be ashamed, and even offered his viewers $100 to identify the pro-life activists so he could lead protests at their homes.

“He didn’t engage any of these folks to understand why they were out there, where they were coming from, whether they may have had abortions themselves, which could have led them to that place of offering alternatives.  It’s just an unfortunate case of egregious political ideology trumping a human concern for a neighbor,” said Shakely.

Listen to the full podcast as Shakely responds to Sims and explains why demonstrating outside of abortion clinics is laudable.
