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

July 30, 2021 by GregC

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.

Senate GOP Blocks Dem Power Grab, Free Press Dies in Hong Kong, NYC’s Primary Debacle

June 23, 2021 by GregC

Listen to “Senate GOP Blocks Dem Power Grab, Free Press Dies in Hong Kong, NYC’s Primary Debacle” on Spreaker.

Jim and Greg applaud Senate Republicans for standing strong and voting against the partisan election reform bill offered by Democrats. They also blast China for forcing the last remaining pro-democracy newspaper in Hong Kong to close its doors. Finally, they sigh at the news that it will take at least a week or longer to find out who won the Democratic primary for mayor of New York City.

Chinese Repression, Job Report Overreaction, Worthless UFO Report

June 4, 2021 by GregC

Listen to “Chinese Repression, Job Report Overreaction, Worthless UFO Report” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they shudder at the extent of Chinese repression on the anniversary of the brutal Tiananmen Square crackdown – not only in China but now in Hong Kong as well. They also discuss the slightly disappointing May jobs report and get a kick out of the hyperbolic reaction on both sides of the aisle. And they laugh as the government issues a new report saying there is no proof that aliens are behind unidentified aircraft and also no proof that they aren’t.

EU Sanctions China, The Vote By Mail Fight, COVID Goggles Now?

July 30, 2020 by GregC

Listen to “EU Sanctions China, The Vote By Mail Fight, COVID Goggles Now?” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they offer a rare compliment to the European Union for sanctioning China in response to Beijing’s crackdown in Hong Kong. They also discuss why voting by mail this year could be a gigantic mess and why President Trump musing about delaying the election is also a big mistake. They roll their eyes as Dr. Fauci suggests covering them with goggles or face shields to protect from COVID. And they remember successful businessman and 2012 presidential candidate Herman Cain, who passed away after a battle with COVID.

Aussies & Hong Kong, Biden & Debates, Don Lemon & Jesus

July 9, 2020 by GregC

Listen to “Aussies & Hong Kong, Biden & Debates, Don Lemon & Jesus” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they applaud Australia for ending its extradition agreement with Hong Kong and extending visas for Hong Kong residents in Australia over China’s crackdown on freedoms. They also discuss New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman urging Joe Biden to refuse debating President Trump unless Trump agrees to a couple of very unlikely demands. And they wince as CNN’s Don Lemon demonstrates just how little he knows about the most basic tenets of belief for tens of millions of Americans.

‘This Is the End of Hong Kong’

May 21, 2020 by GregC

Listen to “‘This Is the End of Hong Kong'” on Spreaker.

China’s ceremonial parliament will soon act to pass “national security” legislation that will bypass the Hong Kong legislature impose major restrictions on protesters there.

“This is the end of Hong Kong,” said Hong Kong legislator Dennis Kwok.

“This is the end of one country, two systems.  Make no mistake about it, that Beijing, the Central People’s Government, has completely breached its promise to the Hong Kong people,” added Kwok.

What exactly is China doing and why is it doing it now and what will happen to the thriving business and relative freedoms in Hong Kong if this happens? We ask China expert Gordon G. Chang.

In this podcast, we’ll also ask Chang what the U.S. can do in response and why so many political and media figures keep defending China despite its repression of freedom in Hong Kong and its obvious deception about the origins of the coronavirus.

Hong Kong Rocks the Vote, The Political Messiah Complex, Kamala’s Craven Politics

November 25, 2019 by GregC

Listen to “Hong Kong Rocks the Vote, The Political Messiah Complex, Kamala’s Craven Politics” on Spreaker.

Glad you’ve joined us for the Monday martinis! Today, Jim and Greg cheer the people of Hong Kong for leaving no doubt in local elections that they are on the side of freedom and the protesters. They also cringe as figures on the right speak of Trump is near messianic terms, a tactic the left engaged in over President Obama for eight years prior to Trump. They’re both way off base. And as Kamala Harris suddenly declares herself a champion of marijuana decriminalization because it leads to mass incarceration, Jim and Greg inconveniently point out her record and her painfully obvious political calculations.

Help for Hong Kong? Sondland Claims Quid Pro Quo, Media Still Protect Obama

November 20, 2019 by GregC

Listen to “Help for Hong Kong? Sondland Claims Quid Pro Quo, Media Still Protect Obama” on Spreaker.

Back to our usual format with three big stories today!  Jim and Greg applaud the Senate for passing legislation designed to sanction anyone found targeting the human rights of people in Hong Kong, but they still wish the demonstrators could get some public support from President Trump.  They also react to U.S. Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland contending that the Trump administration did demand Ukraine open an investigation into Burisma and the 2016 elections in exchange for President Zelensky to receive an invitation to the White House, and that he believes the suspension of military aid was linked to those demands as well.  And they marvel at the media deleting a story about the numbers of migrant children in U.S. detention when they learn the figure is actually from the Obama years.

China vs. Hong Kong: ‘This Could Go on for A Very Long Time’

November 15, 2019 by GregC

Listen to “China vs. Hong Kong: ‘This Could Go on for A Very Long Time'” on Spreaker.

While impeachment politics and other headlines often overshadow it, the pro-freedom demonstrations and the increasingly violent crackdowns by the Hong Kong police continue.

Just this week, a police officer shot an unarmed demonstrator at close range.  There is also much greater tension at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, as students fortify the campus and prepare to defend their positions.

Protesters insist they aren’t going anywhere until their five demands for freedom are met.  China says it will not allow it’s control over Hong Kong to be weakened.

Why are things continuing to escalate?  How will this impasse ever be resolved?  And what should the U.S. be doing to side with freedom?

We cover those questions and much more as Greg Corombos visits with East Asia expert Gordon Chang, author of “The Coming Collapse of China.”
