Join Jim and Greg as they dissect DHS Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas telling lawmakers Vice President Harris really isn’t involved on major immigration policy decisions like “Remain in Mexico” or the proper role of ICE. They also fume at Attorney General Merrick Garland and the FBI after a whistleblower reveals that the counterterrorism division was involved in tracking parents for alleged threats towards school officials. And they discuss when Democrats will get transparent about President Biden’s health after a new poll shows huge swings in the number of people who don’t think Biden is in good health or mentally up to the job.

Feds Aim at Hunter, China’s Spy Game, Left Pushing to Oust Feinstein

December 10, 2020 by GregC

Listen to “Feds Aim at Hunter, China’s Spy Game, Left Pushing to Oust Feinstein” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they discuss confirmation that a federal prosecutor is investigating Hunter Biden on tax issues, his foreign ties, and possible money laundering. They also sigh at the revelations of China’s efforts to infiltrate the inner circles of politicians supposedly on the rise, and how easily multiple figures seem to have fallen for it. And they react to reports that Sen. Dianne Feinstein is suffering from cognitive decline but find the timing awfully convenient for the far left.

Trump on the Mend, Medical Info Intrigue, Schumer’s Pathetic Ploy

October 5, 2020 by GregC

Listen to “Trump on the Mend, Medical Info Intrigue, Schumer’s Pathetic Ploy” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they’re encouraged to see and hear strong indications that President Trump is doing much better in his fight against COVID-19 and may be back at the White House soon. They also wish that the White House had been more forthcoming with details of the president’s medical condition and that media didn’t hyperventilate with every piece of new information about the president’s treatment and other details. And they get a kick out of Sen. Chuck Schumer demanding that confirmation hearings for Amy Coney Barrett be postponed while senators are fighting COVID.

Biden’s Obvious Weakness, Breonna & Bodycams, Political Arson

September 24, 2020 by GregC

Listen to “Biden’s Obvious Weakness, Breonna & Bodycams, Political Arson” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they expose yet another day of Joe Biden not being able to appear in public the day after holding events, strongly suggesting he’s not up to the rigors of the campaign trail or the presidency. They also blast the violence perpetrated in Louisville and other cities in the wake of no police officers being charged for murder in the Breonna Taylor case. They also find it unacceptable that there is no bodycam evidence of the entry into the apartment or of the shooting. And they react to the case of arson at the Minnesota home of a Trump supporter and the graffiti left behind noting support for Biden, BLM, and more.

Defunding the Police, Woke Health Experts, The New York Times Surrenders

June 8, 2020 by GregC

Listen to “Defunding the Police, Woke Health Experts, The New York Times Surrenders” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg for one of the craziest Three Martini Lunches we’ve ever had! First, they dissect the ludicrous push to defend and dismantle police departments and react to Minneapolis City Council President Lisa Bender suggesting crime victims who would normally call the cops need to understand their privilege by not having police come. They also hammer public health “experts” for declaring that the racial justice protests are more important than stopping the coronavirus, but other protests should not go forward, and stay-at-home protests are rooted in white nationalism. And they chronicle the New York Times fully surrendering to the woke mob.

‘The Severity Is Much Greater Than China Is Reporting’

February 11, 2020 by GregC

Listen to “‘The Severity Is Much Greater Than China Is Reporting'” on Spreaker.

The Chinese government is reporting more than 1,000 deaths related to coronavirus but China expert Gordon Chang says it’s clear from how officials are reacting with mass quarantines and other tactics that the problem is much worse than reported.

“The severity is much greater than China is officially reporting,” said Chang. “There are stories that Wuhan, the epicenter of the virus, is cremating hundreds of bodies a day. That doesn’t fit very easily with a death toll of a thousand.”

But why what does China have to gain by lying about the severity? Chang says it’s all about control.

“Xi Xinping, the Chinese ruler, is much more interested in controlling the narrative than he is in ending the epidemic,” said Chang.

Chang discusses the impact that the mass quarantines are having on the Chinese economy and what the U.S. posture should be as this plays out.

In addition, Chang reacts to the news that the U.S. is indicting four Chinese military officials for the massive 2017 Equifax hack that compromised the information of more than 145 million people.

Why Warren’s Math Won’t Work

November 6, 2019 by GregC

Listen to “Why Warren’s Math Won’t Work” on Spreaker.

After taking heat from her Democratic rivals for months, Sen. Elizabeth Warren released her plan for covering the cost of government-sponsored health care for all Americans.

Warren says the price tag is roughly $52 trillion over ten years, yet insists she can pay for it by taxing billionaires, cracking down on tax cheats, and streamlining administrative costs of the program.

Chris Jacobs is CEO of the Juniper Research Group and author of “The Case Against Single Payer.” He tells me why all three of Warren’s ideas fall far short of meeting the expected costs, why two of her three ideas are contradictions of one another, and why the math is laughably wrong on the tax enforcement plan. He will also explain what kind of tax increases will really be needed to pay for Warren’s health plans and why he suspects she won’t admit that she’ll have to tax everyone.

What Americans Don’t Know about Medicare for All

October 23, 2019 by GregC

Listen to “What Americans Don’t Know about Medicare for All” on Spreaker.

A new poll from the Kaiser Family Foundation shows 51 percent of American adults favor a Medicare for All approach to health care. But 58 percent also oppose abolishing private insurance and even more oppose paying more in taxes to pay for single-payer health care.

After all these years, why is there such a disconnect between what Americans think they support and what they actually support once they know the facts?

In this podcast, we ask Galen Institute Pres. Grace-Marie Turner about this discrepancy and what she thinks about new reform ideas from the House Republican Study Committee.

Why Health Care Is Broken and How to Fix It

October 21, 2019 by GregC

Listen to “Why Health Care Is Broken and How to Fix It” on Spreaker.

Politicians keep fighting over how to help Americans pay for their health care. But why is health care so expensive in the first place?

In his new book, “The Price We Pay,” Johns Hopkins University surgeon and Prof. Marty Makary details the epidemic of overtreating and overcharging patients.

In this podcast, Makary tells Greg Corombos why doctors often order treatment when none is actually needed. He also burrows down into why patients are stuck with astronomical medical bills without ever knowing the costs before treatment.

Makary explains why ideas like pointing patients towards healthier lifestyles, showing doctors how often they order treatment compared to their peers, and price transparency are among the keys to bringing competition and results back to the health care sector.
