Hegseth Picked for Pentagon, CIA Arrest Over Israel Leak, California’s Slow Vote Count

November 13, 2024 by GregC

Listen to “Hegseth Picked for Pentagon, CIA Arrest Over Israel Leak, California’s Slow Vote Count” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they break down President-Elect Trump’s nomination of Pete Hegseth for Secretary of Defense, a CIA officer charged with leaking Israel’s attack plans on Iran, and California’s protracted vote-counting process.

First, they focus on Trump’s pick of Pete Hegseth, a decorated veteran who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, to lead the Department of Defense. Democrats, including Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, are outraged, pointing to Hegseth’s role as a Fox News host. The left is also not happy about Hegseth’s determination to dismantle the Biden-era DEI approach to building and running the military. But Jim says barring any serious revelations, Hegseth should be confirmed.

Next, they react to shocking news of a CIA officer charged with leaking highly classified intelligence regarding a potential Israeli strike on Iran. They discuss how this breach severely damages trust in American intelligence agencies and examine the ways individuals with access to top-secret information can become compromised, posing significant national security risks.

Finally, they analyze an NBC News report on why California’s vote count is taking well over a week. Unlike states such as Florida and Texas, which count nearly all votes on election night, California faces substantial delays. And each part of the explanation for California’s sluggishness just exposes what a terrible election system the state has.

GOP Governors Top Fiscal Ratings, Israeli Strike Plans Leaked Again, Social Security & Walz’s Mom

October 21, 2024 by GregC

Listen to “GOP Governors Top Fiscal Ratings, Israeli Strike Plans Leaked Again, Social Security & Walz’s Mom” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they discuss how Republican governors do much better than Democrats on fiscal policy, the infuriating leak of Israel’s plans to strike Iran, and why Tim Walz is so reluctant to help his own mother.

First, they analyze the CATO Institute report card, which grades 48 U.S. governors on controlling spending and improving tax policies. Notably, all six governors receiving an ‘A’ were Republicans, while all six earning an ‘F’ were Democrats, including Tim Walz. Jim and Greg explore the reasons behind these results and highlight a few surprising names on the list.

Next, frustration mounts over the leak of classified Israeli military plans to strike Iran. This follows previous instances of U.S. officials being caught off guard by successful Israeli strikes in the Middle East. Jim explains how several key figures in the Biden administration are far too cozy with Iran and wonders why allies would share sensitive material with us in the future.

Finally, they address Tim Walz’s recent comments in North Carolina about his mother’s reliance on Social Security for basic needs. Jim and Greg explain how Social Security is intended as  supplement to your retirement plan and wonder why Walz allows his mother to live in such a precarious financial situation. This is at least the second time Walz has referred to leaving his elderly mom to fend for herself. He also made her go home and live by herself after heart surgery during COVID because he feared negative headlines if he brought her to his home.

Brilliant Israeli Tactics & Incoming Iranian Missiles, Longshoremen Go on Strike, Vance vs. Walz

October 1, 2024 by GregC

Listen to “Brilliant Israeli Tactics & Incoming Iranian Missiles, Longshoremen Go on Strike, Vance vs. Walz” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they marvel at more reported genius from Israeli intelligence and brace for Iranian missile strikes in retaliation. They also slam the outrageous demands of the striking longshoreman’s union and preview tonight’s vice presidential debate.
First, they thorough enjoy reports that Iran’s secret service created a unit to target and kill Mossad agents in Iran. But it failed because an undercover Mossad agent ended up leading the effort and populating the group with other Mossad operatives. However, they’re also paying close attention as Israel braces for an Iranian missile attack in retaliation for Israel’s very successful strikes vs. Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Houthis in Yemen.
Then, they focus much closer to home as the International Longshoreman’s Association goes on strike at every U.S. port on the Atlantic coast and along the Gulf of Mexico. They’re furious at the economic impact that all of us could suffer because of the union’s outrageous demands and President Biden’s refusal to actually be a leader.
Finally, they preview tonight’s vice presidential debate between JD Vance and Tim Walz. Jim expects Vance to do well tonight and wonders whether this event will be further evidence that choosing Walz was a massive mistake by Kamala Harris.

Milei Speaks Truth to the UN, Our Reckless Sanctuary Cities, Leftist Prints Iran-Hacked Trump Docs

September 27, 2024 by GregC

Listen to “Milei Speaks Truth to the UN, Our Reckless Sanctuary Cities, Leftist Prints Iran-Hacked Trump Docs” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they wrap up the week by analyzing Argentinian President Javier Milei’s powerful speech at the United Nations, the dangers of sanctuary cities, and a leftist writer who published hacked Trump campaign materials provided by Iran.

First, they praise President Milei for condemning the socialist agenda at the United Nations, calling out the UN for coddling autocrats, constantly criticizing Israel, and empowering repressive regimes in shaping policies on women’s rights. Jim also provides an update on Milei’s economic reforms in Argentina and how they are progressing.

Next, they express outrage over sanctuary cities and counties that endanger residents by releasing dangerous criminal illegals before federal immigration officials can detain them. And it happens over and over again. They focus on a specific case in Jim’s backyard in Fairfax County, Virginia, where an illegal immigrant was released three times after arrests for violent crimes.

Finally, they’re disgusted by far-left writer Ken Klippenstein, who published a hacked Trump campaign dossier on JD Vance that was provided by Iran but rejected by Democrats and other media outlets. They explain what really got Klippenstein suspended from X and why his behavior crosses a line in journalism.

Trump & the Teamsters, Iran Envoy’s Clearance Chaos, Pelosi Saya Kamala Won Open Primary

September 19, 2024 by GregC

Listen to “Trump & the Teamsters, Iran Envoy’s Clearance Chaos, Pelosi Saya Kamala Won Open Primary” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they react to Donald Trump dominating the vote among Teamsters Union members but the union refusing to offer any endorsement, the State Department stripping Iran envoy Robert Malley of his security clearance but never bothering to enforce it, and Nancy Pelosi insisting Kamala Harris won an open primary to become the Democrats’ nominee.

First, they highlight the dramatic shift among Teamsters Union members, who moved from favoring Joe Biden over Trump by eight points to supporting Trump over Kamala Harris by 27 points. But somehow that lopsided margin was not enough for Trump to get the endorsement. But the Teamsters also refused to endorse Harris. So did Trump’s royal treatment of the Teamsters at the RNC pay off or not?

Next, they express frustration over a State Department Inspector General’s report revealing that, even after Iran envoy Robert Malley lost his clearance, he continued to access classified information due to a lack of oversight at the highest levels. They also react to reports of Iran hacking the Trump campaign, attempting to relay sensitive information to Biden and Harris.

Finally, they roll their eyes at Nancy Pelosi’s assertion that Kamala Harris won an open primary to replace Biden as the Democratic nominee. Jim has some choice words in response to that and has fun with Pelosi claiming that Biden is the most consequential president in modern history.

How Haniyeh Was Killed, Russia Prisoner Swap, 9/11 Plea Deal, Trump Fumbles on Race

August 1, 2024 by GregC

Listen to “How Haniyeh Was Killed, Russia Prisoner Swap, 9/11 Plea Deal, Trump Fumbles on Race” on Spreaker.

It’s four martinis for the price of three today as Jim and Greg unpack the latest details in the killing of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh, the prisoner swap with Russia that freed two Americans, the government striking a plea bargain with 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, and Donald Trump focusing on Kamala’s race instead of her train wreck of a record.

First, they enjoy learning how Haniyeh was killed by a bomb planted months earlier and detonated remotely. It seems to point more clearly to an Israeli operation and a massive, embarrassing failure for the Iranian government and especially its terrorist arm, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps.

Next, they’re thrilled to hear Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich and fellow American Paul Whelan are being released by Russia. What reports don’t tell us yet is who or what the U.S. is giving Russia in return. And given the Obama-Biden track record on lopsided prisoner swaps, that’s an important question.

Then, they groan as the U.S. government strikes a plea deal with Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and two other 9/11 conspirators. The agreement removes the possibility of capital punishment for any of them. 9/11 survivors and family members are not happy. And while Jim and Greg understand there’s a slight possibility of these terrorists revealing more than they already have, it’s hard to imagine anyone more deserving of death then they are.

Finally, Jim unloads on Donald Trump for wondering when Kamala Harris decided she was black because he says she spent much of her life identifying with her Indian heritage. Not only does that moment give Harris a chance to go on offense, but it shows Trump getting distracted from going after the endless political liabilities Harris brings into this campaign.

Iran’s President Killed, Biden’s Racial Demagoguery, Lake Looks Like a Loser

May 20, 2024 by GregC

Listen to “Iran’s President Killed, Biden’s Racial Demagoguery, Lake Looks Like a Loser” on Spreaker.

Greg is back on a busy news day, as he and Jim discuss the death of Iran’s president, Biden’s disgustingly divisive commencement speech, and the GOP latching on to a loser in the Arizona U.S Senate race.

First, they shed zero tears upon the death of radical Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and three other officials in a helicopter crash on Sunday. They document Raisi’s murderous record and why his death is not worth mourning, but they also note that not much will change anytime soon for the Iranian people eager to be free.

Next, they hammer President Biden for his racially divisive demagoguery in his commencement address at Morehouse College in Georgia. They not only dissect the appalling lies in the speech but also what it tells us about how Biden and his advisers see the state of the 2024 campaign.

Finally, they groan as a new poll shows Democrat Ruben Gallego leading Republican Kari Lake by a wide margin in the Arizona Senate race. They see Lake as a surefire loser with way too much political baggage and urge GOP voters there to pick a nominee who would be far better at the job and would actually have a chance at winning in November.

Israel Strikes Iran, China Targets U.S. Power Grids & Water, Most Kennedys Rally for Biden

April 19, 2024 by GregC

Listen to “Israel Strikes Iran, China Targets U.S. Power Grids & Water, Most Kennedys Rally for Biden” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they discuss Israel’s response to Iran, the Chinese threat to America’s critical infrastructure, and the public political fight among the Kennedys.

First, they welcome news of an Israeli military response against Iran. Details remain sketchy but it seems to be a much smaller operation than Iran launched over the weekend. So is this the end of the back-and-forth or is there more to come?
Next, they shudder as FBI Director Christopher Wray says China is actively trying to hack and disable critical U.S. infrastructure like electricity, water, and more.
Finally, they discuss most Kennedy family members endorsing President Biden over RFK, Jr. But do voters care what the Kennedys think? And what does this event tell us about how worried the Biden campaign is about RFK, Jr.?

Make the Houthis Terrorists Again, NPR Embraces Leftist Label, Biden’s Latest Lies

April 18, 2024 by GregC

Listen to “Make the Houthis Terrorists Again, NPR Embraces Leftist Label, Biden’s Latest Lies” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they sound off on some good news out of the House of Representatives and some really crazy news about taxpayer-funded media and President Biden’s latest whoppers.
First, they’re glad to see a big bipartisan majority in the House of Representatives vote to declare the Iran-backed Houthis to be a “Foreign Terrorist Organization” again. If the Senate also passes it, Jim and Greg hope Biden will the sign the bill and not stubbornly stick to his decision to reverse President Trump designation of the Houthis as a Foreign Terrorist Organization.
Then, they wince as National Public Radio (NPR) basically forces longtime editor Uri Berliner out after he publicly scolded NPR for engaging in partisan politics by stifling stories like the Hunter Biden laptop and the origins of COVID while reporting Rep. Adam Schiff’s version of the Trump-Russia investigation as the truth. Instead, leaders there are proving most of Berliner’s accusations true and embracing leftist narratives. They also recoil at a TED Talk that new NPR CEO Katherine Maher delivered about how we all have our own truths and that building consensus is more important than pursuing truth.
Finally, they groan as President Biden repeatedly tells the thoroughly disproven story of his uncle allegedly getting by cannibals in New Guinea during World War II. And Biden also claims he told Israel not to go into Haifa – which is an Israeli city. But Jim says the statement is also very  problematic on another level.

Iran Attacks Israel: Far Beyond a Symbolic Strike, Great Missile Defense, Biden Opposes Israeli Response

April 15, 2024 by GregC

Listen to “Iran Attacks Israel: Far Beyond a Symbolic Strike, Great Missile Defense, Biden Opposes Israeli Response” on Spreaker.

Iran attacked Israel over the weekend, and Jim and Greg break down the good, bad, and crazy elements of this huge story.

First, they reject the notion that this was a largely symbolic attack from Iran – supposedly because everyone knew Iran’s weapons would not get past the missile defense capabilities in the region. But Jim points out that you don’t send hundreds of missiles and hundreds of drones if your effort is symbolic. They also chafe at reports that Biden (through Turkish intermediaries) told Iran to keep any attacks “within certain limits.” And they point out that Iran once again rejected Biden’s feeble insistence of “don’t” when asked about Iranian aggression.

Next, they cheer the excellence of execution by the U.S., Great Britain, Israel, Jordan, and even Saudi Arabia in thwarting the Iranian attack with missile defense and other collaboration. And they take a moment to give credit to the man who insisted on pursuing missile defense more than 40 years ago despite the derision of Democrats and the media – President Ronald Reagan.

Finally, they groan as Biden tells Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not to respond against Iran because the missile defense operation resulted in “a win” for Israel. That’s not how this works.
