Koppel Calls Out Media, Trump Keeps Bashing McCain, Biden-Abrams 2020?

March 21, 2019 by GregC

Listen to “Koppel Calls Out Media, Trump Keeps Bashing McCain, Biden-Abrams 2020?” on Spreaker.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America applaud former ABC News anchor Ted Koppel’s critique of the media and appreciate that at least one veteran journalist has the courage to speak out on liberal bias in the news. They also take President Trump to task for attacking the late Sen. John McCain in a series of immature tweets and public statements. And they predict former Vice President Joe Biden won’t endear himself to progressives if reports are true that he’s planning to name former Georgia Rep. Stacey Abrams his running mate in 2020.

Confirmation Hearing Hysterics, Kerry Comes Clean, Inherited Senate Seats

September 4, 2018 by GregC

Listen to “Confirmation Hearing Hysterics, Kerry Comes Clean, Inherited Senate Seats” on Spreaker.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America sigh as Democrats repeatedly interrupt the start of the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation hearings in a futile attempt to delay him from joining the court.  They also give John Kerry credit for explaining how President Obama’s failure to enforce the red line over chemical weapons in Syria led to major diplomatic headaches.  And they respond to calls for Meghan McCain to replace her father in the U.S. Senate by saying such seats are not family heirlooms and any family members who wants to serve should have to get elected.

Bad Beto, McCain Funeral Snubs, NBC Spiked #MeToo?

August 31, 2018 by GregC

Listen to “Bad Beto, McCain Funeral Snubs, NBC Spiked #MeToo?” on Spreaker.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America credit the Houston Chronicle for reporting what dozens of fawning Beto O’Rourke features have not – that he not only drove drunk in 1998, but caused a major accident and then tried to flee the scene.  They also react to John McCain snubbing 2008 campaign aides Steve Schmidt, Nicolle Wallace, and John Weaver from his funeral invitation list, presumably over their willingness to trash him to make money and launch media careers following that election.  And as a former NBC producer insists the network spiked Ronan Farrow’s reporting on the sexual assaults and harassment by Harvey Weinstein, Jim zeroes in on why NBC wanted nothing to do with the story.

Ex-RNC Lauds McCain, Reflects on 2008 Campaign

August 29, 2018 by GregC

Listen to “Ex-RNC Official Lauds McCain, Reflects on 2008 Campaign” on Spreaker.

Arizona Sen. John McCain died Saturday after more than 50 years in the public eye, first as a prisoner of war in Vietnam and later a member of Congress for more than 35 years.  Frank Donatelli served as deputy chairman of the Republican National Committee during the 2008 campaign when McCain was the GOP nominee.  We discuss McCain’s two bids for the White House, his honorable service in uniform, and his penchant for bucking his party on key votes.  Listen here.

Good GOP Primary Night, Cardinal Sins, McCain Tribute Uproar

August 29, 2018 by GregC

Listen to “Good GOP Primary Night, Cardinal Sins, McCain Tribute Uproar” on Spreaker.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America cheer the results of primaries in Florida and Arizona, pointing out that the GOP enjoyed turnout advantages in both states, and got its best option for holding the Senate seat in Arizona while Democrats nominated an avowed socialist for governor of Florida.  They also unload on a Catholic cardinal from Chicago for suggesting Pope Francis cannot go down “rabbit trails” like rampant allegations of pedophile priests and bishops who covered up the crimes because the pontiff needs to focus more on climate change and building acceptance for migrants.  And they roll their eyes as Democrats and the media (but we repeat ourselves) are horrified that any Republican senator would not immediately rush to rename a Senate office building in honor of John McCain and that any opposition to the idea is an endorsement of the segregationist views of the senator for whom the building is currently named.

McCain: Assessing His Legacy, Media Hypocrisy, Trump’s Reaction

August 27, 2018 by GregC

Listen to “McCain: Assessing His Legacy, Media Hypocrisy, Trump’s Reaction” on Spreaker.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America examine the passing of Arizona Sen. John McCain.  They discuss his military record as well as a legislative career that gave conservatives reasons to cheer and reasons to fume.  They also call out the hypocrisy of the mainstream media, which provided adoring coverage for McCain when he was a thorn in the side of Republicans but trashed him viciously in 2008, when he was the final impediment to an Obama presidency, and at other times when he sided with fellow Republicans.  And they shake their heads as President Trump spikes any sort of White House statement on McCain’s death and the White House raises flags back to full staff.

Pelosi Persists, Reality Winner Loses, Will Resistance Fatigue Boost GOP?

August 24, 2018 by GregC

Listen to “Pelosi Persists, Reality Winner Loses, Will Resistance Fatigue Boost GOP?” on Spreaker.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America begin by reflecting upon the grim news that Sen. John McCain will discontinue treatment for brain cancer.  Then they tackle three good martinis, starting with House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi insisting she will run for Speaker of the House if Democrats win the majority, thereby preserving one of the GOP’s best arguments for keeping control.  They also welcome the five-year prison sentence for Reality Winner, the NSA contractor who leaked classified information to the media.  And they marvel at polls showing a dead heat in the Oregon governor’s race, which seems to be a result of non-stop protests in the state that snarl traffic, exhaust law enforcement, and leave areas thoroughly trashed.

Great Jobs Numbers, Virginia GOP Caves on Medicaid, Reid-ing Between the Lines

June 1, 2018 by GregC


Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America toast better-than-expected unemployment numbers, the best in 18 years.  They also lambaste Virginia Republicans for rolling over and approving the Obamacare Medicaid expansion they claimed to oppose for years.  And they dig through more eye-opening posts from Joy Reid’s supposedly hacked blog, including her likening of John McCain to the Virginia Tech shooter, endorsing the removal of the Israeli government to Europe, and likening illegal immigration to slave labor for multinationals.

Nauert vs. Clueless Cuomo, WH Aide Mocks McCain, Sleazy NY Pols

May 11, 2018 by GregC


Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America applaud State Department Spokeswoman Heather Nauert for shredding Chris Cuomo’s suggestion that Iran is suddenly a problem in the Middle East because President Trump withdrew the U.S. from the nuclear deal.  They also scold White House communications aide Kelly Sadler for suggesting Sen. John McCain’s opposition to CIA nominee Gina Haspel didn’t matter because “he’s dying anyway.”  And as the media conveniently forget about the scandalous downfall of New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman just a couple of days after his resignation over allegations of abusing multiple women, Jim notices how a disturbingly high percentage of such scandals involve politicians from New York City.

Mueller Reprimanded, Left’s Lack of Gun Logic, McCain Funeral Plan Fury

May 7, 2018 by GregC


Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America welcome Judge T.S. Ellis reminding Special Counsel Bob Mueller that he does not have “unfettered power” in his investigation and that he shouldn’t use his position to compel testimony towards a desired end in his probe.  They also also shake their heads as liberals are not getting upset with the Justice Department for enforcing existing gun laws and as officials in Broward County, Florida, admit that the Parkland shooter did avoid the criminal justice system for previous offenses by being enrolled in the school-based PROMISE program – and therefore never triggered any red flags when trying to buy guns.  And they wonder why Trump supporters are so upset that John McCain doesn’t want President Trump at his funeral.
