Cramer’s Great Ad, Facebook Censors Prager U, London’s Pathetic Terrorism Response

August 20, 2018 by GregC

Listen to “Cramer’s Great Ad, Facebook Censors Prager, London’s Pathetic Terrorism Response” on Spreaker.

Jim is back!  Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America applaud North Dakota Rep. Kevin Cramer for his powerful ad slamming Sen. Heidi Heitkamp for supporting sanctuary cities and for doing so with the right tone.  They also hammer Facebook for censoring numerous Prager U videos and labeling them “hate speech” when there’s nothing hateful about them, and wonder whether Facebook’s monitors have no idea what conservatism is or whether they just give in to the liberal mob.  And they shake their heads in disgust after London Mayor Sadiq Khan responds to a vehicular terrorist attack by wanting to ban vehicles in that part of the city.

Zuckerberg Gets Grilled, Ryan to Retire, London’s Anti-Knife Nonsense

April 11, 2018 by GregC


Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America are happy to Republicans senators like Ted Cruz, Ben Sasse, and John Kennedy pin down Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg on critical issues like censorship, free speech, and user policies that actually benefit Facebook members.  They also react to House Speaker Paul Ryan announcing his retirement, looking both at his record and the increased likelihood that Democrats will take back the House this year.  And they have fun with London’s ridiculous new knife control push after 50 stabbing deaths in the city this year, including police confiscating scissors and pliers as deadly weapons.

‘Dumbfounded by the Dumbness’ of London Knife Control

April 10, 2018 by GregC

http://dateline.radioamerica.org/podcast/4-10-WORKMAN-BLOG.mp3

Officials in London are responding to 50 stabbing deaths this year by declaring war on knives and pleading with people never to carry one in public, decisions one second amendment expert calls “silly” and says is proof that taking away people’s guns doesn’t remove the desire of criminals to harm people.

London Mayor Sadiq Khan tweeted “No excuses: there is never a reason to carry a knife.  Anyone who does will be caught, and they will feel the full force of the law.”  There is also an aggressive #knifefree campaign featuring teenagers discussing their dreams and their intention to never carry knives so they have a chance of achieving their goals.

Local police are tweeting images of items they’ve confiscated as possible weapons, including scissors, screwdrivers, pliers and gardening tools and declaring relief that such implements were now in police custody.

TheGunMag.com Senior Editor Dave Workman is shaking his head in disbelief.

“The mayor of London is acting silly , frankly, because bad guys who use knives to commit crimes are not going to turn those knives in.  It’s just that simple, just like bad guys aren’t going to turn their guns in,” said Workman, who is also affiliated with the Second Amendment Foundation.

“I think this is an example of government run amok.  They think they’re going to solve a problem by disarming the wrong people,” said Workman.  “They’ve already disarmed the wrong people by taking their guns away from them and that makes them vulnerable to knife attack.  I’m dumbfounded by the dumbness of the people in London under this mayor.”

One of the stabbing deaths this year came when a 78-year-old British man stabbed the upper body of a home intruder, who later died.  Police arrested the man on suspicion of murder and appalled citizens erected a memorial to the deceased criminal across the street until neighbors tore it down.

“This 78-year-old man was simply defending himself inside the confines of his home from this criminal.  For the Brits to even suggest that they might put him on trial for murder is just abysmal,” said Workman.

“At least in the United States, we still recognize that the individual citizen has the right to defend himself or herself from violent crime.  In Great Britain, apparently it’s not that way anymore,” said Workman.

So how might the London story impact the U.S. gun debate?  For starters, Workman suspects Britain will not be held up as the gold standard of gun control anymore.

“The next time a gun prohibitionist brings up the British example or the London example, he’s going to get laughed right off the stage,” said Workman.

He says the murders in London demonstrate why we need a robust second amendment.

“We’re boiling it down to the question of should you bring a knife to a gunfight.  In the United States, where we’ve got more than sixteen-and-a-half million people licensed to carry, that’s a very real problem for the recidivist criminal who may want to bring a knife,” said Workman.

Gun control activists could point to the fact that the rash of stabbing deaths still do not equal the number killed in the Las Vegas shooting.  Workman says that argument misses the point.

“Dead is dead.  Whether you get stabbed to death with a knife or shot by some lunatic with a firearm, who shouldn’t have had it in the first place and sent all kinds of warning signals about his intentions, I’m not sure it makes all that much difference,” said Workman.

He says one thing that’s become clear in the wake of the Parkland shooting is that gun control advocates, including former Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens, are openly calling for a repeal of the second amendment.  A federal judge has also ruled that the second amendment does not protect the right to own semi-automatic weapons.

“I think where this is going is that it’s still feeding this monster of civilian disarmament.  For the gun control people to continue claiming that nobody’s coming to take your guns and nobody wants to take your guns is just a flat-out lie,” said Workman.

Closing the Embassy in Cuba? Refugee Bomber in London, College Park’s Shame

September 18, 2017 by GregC


Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America applaud the Trump administration for considering a full closure of the U.S. embassy in Cuba in response to the bizarre sound wave assaults on U.S. diplomats in Havana and urge officials to follow through on the idea.  They also discuss the revelation that the London tube bomber was a teenage refugee just three years ago and why extreme vetting makes perfect sense.  And they get a kick out of College Park, Maryland, council members having to admit they actually didn’t vote to allow illegal immigrants to vote in local elections because they didn’t know their own charter.

Berkeley Stays Calm, Harvard’s Manning Mistake, Terrorism in London

September 15, 2017 by GregC


Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America are happy to see Ben Shapiro was able to give his speech at Berkeley without incident in the auditorium and minimal unrest outside, which this year counts as very good news. They also unload on Harvard for offering convicted spy Bradley Manning, who now identifies as Chelsea Manning, a position as a visiting fellow, and only rescinding the offer after the intelligence community denounces the move. And they groan as a terrorist attack on the London tube injures 22 people and suggests terrorists there might be changing their tactics.

May Tougher on Terror, Known Wolf Overlooked, Trump’s Travel Ban Tweet Storm

June 5, 2017 by GregC

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America applaud British Prime Minister Theresa May for a much tougher statement following the London Bridge terrorism attack, while acknowledging the difficult free speech debate that is sure to follow. They also contemplate terror suspect profiling after one attacker appeared in the documentary “The Jihadis Next Door” and attempted to radicalize children in a local park, yet police let him go after questioning. And they express frustration over President’s Trump’s latest Twitter tirade over his travel ban.

Three Martini Lunch 3/23/17

March 23, 2017 by GregC

http://dateline.radioamerica.org/podcast/3-Martini-Lunch-3-23-17.mp3

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America are surprised by who is arrested for allegedly issuing scores of threats to Jewish Community Centers and other institutions. They also react to the details of the terrorist attack in London and shred the rationale behind radical Islamic terrorism. And they discuss North Korea being suspected of a massive heist of money from Bangladesh that was held in the Federal Reserve Bank of New York – and something about that story seems very familiar to them.

Three Martini Lunch 3/22/17

March 22, 2017 by GregC

http://dateline.radioamerica.org/podcast/3-Martini-Lunch-3-22-17.mp3

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America shake their heads as Republicans fight over health care reform after telling Americans it would be easy to repeal and replace.  They’re also disgusted as school officials in Maryland seem far more concerned about protecting the reputation of illegal immigrants than condemning the rape of a 14-year-old girl, allegedly by two teens in the U.S. illegally.  And they get a kick out of Susan Rice lecturing the Trump administration about the importance of being honest and factual with the public and our allies.
