Heroic Afghan Rescues, Handing the Taliban a ‘Kill List,’ Biden’s Shaky Speech

August 27, 2021 by GregC

Listen to “Heroic Afghan Rescues, Handing the Taliban a ‘Kill List,’ Biden’s Shaky Press Conference” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they salute the special forces veterans who rescued 500 Afghan allies in clandestine night operations designed to elude the Taliban. They’re also staggered to learn the U.S. gave the Taliban a list of U.S. citizens and Afghan allies they should let through their checkpoints, never thinking that we just handed our enemies a list of every Afghan they want dead. And they shudder at President Biden’s doddering press conference.

How Special Forces Prepare and Execute Missions

October 29, 2019 by GregC

Listen to “How Special Forces Prepare and Execute Missions” on Spreaker.

This past weekend, U.S. forces successfully killed ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the terrorist figure responsible for inspiring some of the most grisly murders and rapes in recent times. The surgical strike resulted in no U.S. deaths or injuries and even the wounded dog is on the road to recovery.

But how do special forces prepare for missions like this and how are they trained to respond to the enemy’s actions to successfully execute the mission?

Retired U.S. Army Lt. General Jerry Boykin served 36 years in uniform, much of it in special forces. He was an original member of Delta Force and at one time commanded all Green Berets.

Gen. Boykin walks us through the planning, rehearsing, and executing of missions like the one that took out Baghdadi. He also cuts through the political bluster to explain when presidents are required to inform key members of Congress about a mission and when they are not.

Listen here for the full podcast.

Another ISIS Leader Killed, Sinema Defies Dems, Sen. Sessions 2.0?

October 29, 2019 by GregC

Listen to “Another ISIS Leader Killed, Sinema Defies Dems, Sen. Sessions 2.0?” on Spreaker.

Another day with two good martinis!  Join Jim and Greg as they celebrate U.S. forces killing another top ISIS official who may have been the successor to al-Baghdadi.  They’re also pleasantly surprised to see Arizona Democratic Sen. Kyrsten Sinema frustrating party leaders for taking a moderate approach on several issues and opposing an end to the legislative filibuster no matter which party is in control.  And while Jeff Sessions was a solid senator, they’re not too excited to hear Sessions is seriously considering joining a crowded field to win the seat again.

Baghdadi Bites the Dust, Rahm Is Right Again, Throuple Trouble

October 28, 2019 by GregC

Listen to “Baghdadi Bites the Dust, Rahm Is Right Again, Throuple Trouble” on Spreaker.

Start the week off right by joining us for the Three Martini Lunch.  Today, Jim and Greg celebrate the U.S. forces who tracked down and eliminated Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the ISIS leader responsible for some of the most heinous and grisly murders, rapes, and oppression we’ve seen in recent times.  They also pile on the Washington Post for offering a much softer headline and obituary for al-Baghdadi than was appropriate.  Jim and Greg are pleasantly surprised to see liberal political street fighter Rahm Emanuel begging Democrats to stop pushing Medicare for All.  And as California Democratic Rep. Katie Hill announces her upcoming resignation, they explain why this story is disturbing on virtually every level.

Terror Attack Foiled, Good Polls for Bad Virginians, Reid Suit Rejected

April 9, 2019 by GregC

Listen to “Terror Attack Foiled, Good Polls for Bad Virginians, Reid Suit Rejected” on Spreaker.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America breathe a sigh of relief after an ISIS-inspired terror plot targeting Maryland’s National Harbor was stopped. They also take a look at the recent polls in Virginia and speculate as to how state Democrats are mired in horrible scandals yet the voters want none of them out of office. And they not exactly surprised to learn that former Senator Majority Leader Harry Reid was caught in multiple falsehoods in claiming a fitness company’s negligence was responsible for his bizarre facial injury four years ago.  Reid’s case has been thrown out.

Trump Wants California Refund, Big Brother in Arizona, American in ISIS Misses Home

February 20, 2019 by GregC

Listen to “Trump Wants California Refund, Big Brother in Arizona, American in ISIS Misses Home” on Spreaker.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America applaud President Trump for demanding that California return the $2.5 billion it received from the federal government for its high-speed railway after the project was dramatically scaled back. They also raise their eyebrows at Arizona’s plans to collect the DNA of state residents and charge them a fee to do so. And they explain that while our society is very forgiving, it might be asking a bit much to welcome back an ISIS propagandist with open arms.

What’s the Reality in Syria?

December 21, 2018 by GregC

Listen to “What’s the Reality in Syria?” on Spreaker.

President Trump is taking heat from all points on the political spectrum for announcing an immediate withdrawal of some 2,000 U.S. forces in Syria, but retired U.S. Navy Captain Chuck Nash believes Trump is doing the right thing while acknowledging the decision leaves several uncertainties in the Middle East.

On Wednesday, Trump declared that ISIS was defeated in Syria, a claim roundly rejected by lawmakers and national security experts who say it damages the credibility of the United States to suddenly get out before ISIS is fully crushed.

Nash says Trump is just sticking to his promise to neutralize the ISIS threat and then get out.  He likens it to President George Bush’s handling of the Gulf War as the U.S.-led coalition evicted Iraq from Kuwait.

“We did that in blinding time.  There were a lot of people saying, ‘Keep going to Baghdad.’  No, that’s mission creep.  A lot of people, me included, said he did the right thing.  This was after Vietnam, where mission creep bogged us down into a horrible situation,” said Nash.

Nash says Trump vowed to stay in Syria only until ISIS was crushed and he says that has largely happened because of the Trump administration’s approach to fighting ISIS.

“We took off the restrictive rules of engagement.  We put the right kind of people on the ground and we let the right people do the fighting, backed up by the right people.  It’s been much smarter the way we’ve done it and if you want to look at tonnage of bombs, (it’s) drastically different from what happened during the Obama administration,” said Nash.

Trump’s critics are accusing him of cutting and running similar to President Barack Obama’s withdrawal of all U.S. forces in Iraq in 2011.  Nash says there is a big difference.

“What’s different from what President Trump is doing than what President Barack Obama did was (Obama) advertised a pullout some point down the road.  That just gave the enemy time to prepare.  What Trump has done is pull the rug out from under them and said we’re pulling those 2,000 troops back,” said Nash.

Nash also believes Trump reached his decision based on the evidence presented by Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan last month.

“(Erdogan) made a speech on Nov. 27 in which he said there were no real ISIS fighters left in Syria, that there are just some gangs in there stirring things up, downplaying the quality and quantity of what remains of ISIS,” said Nash.

Domestic experts estimate 30,000 ISIS terrorists remain engaged in the fight.

Nash does worry about Iran trying to grow it’s influence in the region with the U.S. puling back.  He also fears Turkey will mercilessly target Kurdish fighters and that U.S. must stand up for those allies.

“The Kurds are the people we should be supporting in Northern Iraq.  We have gained some relationship with the Kurds in Northern Syria because they have been the bulwark of who we have been supporting up there against ISIS.  They’ve been doing the vast majority of the fighting against ISIS.

“We are kind of betwixt and between.  We can’t let them hang out to dry,” said Nash.

Listen to the full podcast to hear Capt. Nash explain why our improving relations with Turkey may help to protect the Kurds and how the U.S. is not really actually leaving the fight against ISIS entirely.

Big Step for First Step, Trump Sudden Syria Exit, Flynn Courtroom Circus

December 19, 2018 by GregC

Listen to “Big Step for First Step, Trump Sudden Syria Exit, Flynn Courtroom Circus” on Spreaker.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America applaud the Senate for approving the criminal justice reform bill known as the First Step Act.  While still a bit uneasy about some details, they generally like the emphasis on teaching inmates how to live an honest life when they get out of prison and become an asset to their communities.  They also wonder why President Trump is suddenly ordering the U.S. to withdraw from Syria when ISIS is badly degraded but not yet eradicated.  And they shake their heads as Michael Flynn’s legal strategy backfires and the federal judge in the case embarrasses himself with false accusations and flippantly suggests Flynn is a traitor.

Key ISIS Leaders Caught, Freed Americans Home, California Libs Strike Again

May 10, 2018 by GregC


Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America are in a great mood again today, starting with the news that five of the “most wanted” ISIS figures are now in custody after good work by the Iraqis, the Americans, and the Turks.  They also swell with pride as three Americans wrongly imprisoned in North Korea come home to a powerful welcome at Joint Base Andrews.  And while these major accomplishments take place, California liberals are busy mandating that everyone building a new home in the state will soon be required to install solar panels, which could mean an extra $20,000 in building costs.
