Fighting for Freedom, Skyrocketing Rent, Olympic Disgrace

by

Listen to “Fighting for Freedom, Skyrocketing Rent, Olympic Disgrace” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they hope the American right’s support for the Canadian Freedom Convoy will refocus the GOP on championing freedom in this year’s midterms and far beyond. They also shudder as Americans in major cities are seeing 30-40 percent increases in rent but also explain how short-sighted government policies are a major contributing factor. And they discuss the ratings bust of the Beijing Winter Olympics and how Russia and the International Olympic Committee have disgraced the games to a dangerous level.

Manchin vs. ‘Fiscal Insanity,’ Schumer Backs Down, Feds Blocking Afghan Rescues

by

Listen to “Manchin vs. ‘Fiscal Insanity,’ Schumer Backs Down, Feds Blocking Afghan Rescues” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they cautiously cheer Sen. Joe Manchin for calling the Dems’ $3.5 trillion wish list “fiscal insanity.”  They also welcome the news that Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell was able to force Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to agree to fund the government without raising the debt ceiling.  And they’re enraged as the government keeps doing more to thwart than assist private rescue missions out of Afghanistan.

Manchin’s Spending Pause, Weak August Jobs Report, Autocratic Aussies

by

Listen to “Manchin’s Spending Pause, Weak August Jobs Report, Autocratic Aussies” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome Sen. Joe Manchin’s warning that another massive spending bill would saddle our nation with a lot more inflation and debt. They also wince as the August jobs numbers come in far below expectations. Is it really all due to the Delta variant or is there more to it? And they refuse to throw any shrimps on the barbie for the Australian government as the country goes crazy with COVID lockdowns and crushing freedom.

Hong Kong Courage, Even More CDC Confusion, Bungled Federal Rent Relief

by

Listen to “Hong Kong Courage, Even More CDC Confusion, Bungled Federal Rent Relief” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they cheer the bravery of people in Hong Kong publicly booing the Chinese national anthem, which can now land you in big trouble under Chinese control. They also turn a scrutinizing eye on the latest leaks from the CDC that supposedly suggest the Delta variant is much worse than previously thought. And they’re not exactly surprised that the federal government – and government at other levels – has botched a program designed to provide rent relief.

Abbott Acts on Border Crisis, Stunning COVID Cover Up, Oregon Counties Want to Secede

by

Listen to “Abbott Acts on Border Crisis, Stunning COVID Cover Up, Oregon Counties Want to Secede” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they credit Texas Gov. Greg Abbott for taking action on the border crisis while the Biden administration dithers. They also react to the explosive Vanity Fair story exposing how State Department officials and scientists furiously tried to stop investigations into whether COVID-19 leaked from a Wuhan lab. And they sympathize with residents in eastern Oregon who want to secede to Idaho. While they think the likelihood of that happening is low, they also devise an incentive system for state governments to improve.

Major National Security Hack, Biden’s Hunter Problem, Letting Old White People Die

by

Listen to “Major National Security Hack, Biden’s Hunter Problem, Letting Old White People Die” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they discuss what appear to be lengthy, intrusive hacking operations into some of our nation’s most sensitive national security data. They also roll their eyes at Joe Biden’s defense of his son. And they unload on a University of Pennsylvania “ethicist” who want all frontline personnel to be vaccinated before the elderly because the elderly are whiter.

Reasons for Optimism, Newsom’s Ugly Politics, Frustrated by Freedom

by

Listen to “Reasons for Optimism, Newsom’s Ugly Politics, Frustrated by Freedom” on Spreaker.

It’s the first-ever al fresco edition of the Three Martini Lunch!  Join Jim and Greg as they welcome encouraging news on the search for the coronavirus and that experts believe the economy might start improving in June. They also roll their eyes as California Gov. Gavin Newsom says the federal government must bail out his state or else first responders will be the first ones laid off.  And they fire back at a Washington Post opinion writer who claims Americans would do much better against the coronavirus if we weren’t so skeptical of government and protective of our liberties.

Assessing the Coronavrus Response

by

Listen to “Assessing the Coronavrus Response” on Spreaker.

The debate over the federal response to the coronavirus threat has been raging for weeks but what goes into a response of this scope? How do the different agencies coordinate, how do the feds collaborate with the states, and how does the private sector partner with the government so seamlessly?

Galen Institute President Grace-Marie Turner addresses these questions and more in this interview with Radio America’s Greg Corombos.

Vaccine Progress, The Shutdown Debate, Ohio Election Drama

by

Listen to “Vaccine Progress, The Shutdown Debate, Ohio Election Drama” on Spreaker.

The home version of the Three Martini Lunch is now up and running but there is always a stool for you! After Jim revels in the news that Tom Brady’s 20-year run with the New England Patriots is over, he and Greg tackle the good, bad, and crazy martinis of the day. First, they welcome the news from Dr. Anthony Fauci that a possible coronavirus vaccine is already in the first stages of testing. They also wonder just how restrictive government officials are going to get as they down society in an effort to confront coronavirus now that San Francisco is ordering residents to shelter in place, groups larger than 10 people are discouraged, and New Jersey is dabbling with curfews. Finally, they weight both sides of the furious political and legal fight in Ohio after Gov. Mike DeWine ordered Tuesday’s primary to be postponed.

Coronavirus: ‘We Seem To Be In A Panic Phase’

by

Listen to “Coronavirus: ‘We Seem To Be In A Panic Phase'” on Spreaker.

Coronavirus is making its way around the world.  It has government officials in the U.S. warning there might be disruptions in school calendars and work schedules due to its highly contagious nature.  Markets around the world spent most of the week in panic mode, as investors lost trillions in value in the U.S. alone.

But is coronavirus, or COVID-19, really a menace that could kill thousands of Americans?  Is the media egregiously overhyping the threat?  Or is the truth somewhere in the middle?

Dr. Roger Klein has advised a wide variety of government agencies from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to the Department of Health and Human Services.  Also a former medical director of molecular oncology at the Cleveland Clinic, Dr. Klein is now with the Regulatory Transparency Project’s FDA and Health Working Group.

In this interview with Radio America’s Greg Corombos, Dr. Klein walks us through how well the government has prepared for this threat, whether the media reports are responsible or hyperbolic, and he explains why China’s response to COVID-19 seems so inadequate.
