GOP’s Strong Messaging, Mastriano Won’t Run, Pentagon Clueless on AI Threat

by

Listen to “GOP’s Strong Messaging, Mastriano Won’t Run, Pentagon Clueless on AI Threat” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they close out the week with two good martinis and a very bad one. First, they remain very pleasantly surprised at how strong the House GOP messaging has been throughout the debt ceiling debate – to the point where even much of the mainstream media is admitting it. They also breathe a sigh of relief as Doug Mastriano decided not to run for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania after getting crushed in the governor’s race last year. Finally, they shudder as Democratic Massachusetts Rep, Seth Moulton sounds the alarm that the Pentagon has “no direction whatsoever” in confronting the role of artificial intelligence in the militaries of our adversaries and he says we don’t have very long to prepare.

China’s Hypersonic Missiles, Is Germany Abandoning Taiwan? Dems Keep FTX Money

by

Listen to “China’s Hypersonic Missiles, Is Germany Abandoning Taiwan? Dems Keep FTX Money” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they mix two ominous martinis on China along with some broken political promises here at home. First, they shudder as the recently leaked national security documents confirm that China has developed hypersonic missiles that our carriers and missile defense systems are not able to stop. They also groan as China seems very confident that Germany will not defend Taiwan when Beijing moves towards “reunification” and they break down how U.S. foreign policy towards China over the past 50 years has largely failed. Finally, several months after promising to return or donate campaign donations from disgraced crypto figure Sam Bankman-Fried, two Democrats in the Senate are still hanging on to a lot of the money.

Ignoring Entitlements, Trump Balloon Confusion, State of Boredom

by

Listen to “Ignoring Entitlements, Trump Balloon Confusion, State of Boredom” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they present two bad martinis and a crazy one. First, they highlight House Speaker Kevin McCarthy saying Social Security and Medicare cuts are not on the table in the fight over the debt ceiling. That rebuts Biden’s false accusation but it also highlights how neither party has any intention of doing the work necessary to shore up these programs headed towards insolvency. They’re also dizzy from the conflicting explanations of Chinese spy balloons during the Trump years. After Biden officials saying Trump did nothing about three different balloons, we now have some saying the U.S. never detected those balloons while other defense and intelligence officials reportedly did know but chose not to tell President Trump. Finally, they groan and brace for the political drudgery and theater known as the State of the Union address.

Afghanistan Accountability, U.S. Arsenal Vanishing, Lightfoot’s Crime ‘Solution’

by

Listen to “Afghanistan Accountability, U.S. Arsenal Vanishing, Lightfoot’s Crime ‘Solution'” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul’s vow to get answers on the Biden administration’s debacle in Afghanistan. McCaul says the administration has been stonewalling on providing documents on how U.S. intelligence was so wrong on the advance of the Taliban, the deadly attack on U.S. service members outside the Kabul airport, and much more. They also shudder as a new report shows the U.S. is dangerously deficient in producing new weapons to replace the many munitions we’re sending over to Ukraine. In other words, if the U.S. got involved in sustained military action, we could run out of key weapons in less than a week. Finally, they shake their heads as Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s solution to the wave of street vendor robberies is to tell them not to conduct business in cash.

Hassan’s Border Blunder, U.S. Military Dependent Upon China, Warren’s Bad Math

by

Listen to “Hassan’s Border Blunder, U.S. Military Dependent Upon China, Warren’s Bad Math” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome new polls showing New Hampshire Sen. Maggie Hassan deadlocked with her possible GOP rivals after her sudden interest in border security faces a major backlash. They also shudder at a Pentagon report showing the U.S. military is dangerously dependent upon China for critical components needed to fight effectively. And they shake their heads as Sen. Elizabeth Warren tries to argue that “forgiving” student loan debt by forcing taxpayers to foot the bill will not add to inflation.

Putin’s War Crippling Russia, Should We Bomb Convoys? Don’t Pour Out Your Vodka

by

Listen to “Putin’s War Crippling Russia, Should We Bomb Convoys? Don’t Pour Out Your Vodka” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they highlight the economic devastation Vladimir Putin is bringing upon his own country  by waging the war on Ukraine. They also express concern about prominent figures suggesting the U.S. and NATO launch drone strikes against the Russian convoys because that could easily lead to very ugly outcomes. And from actions from the International Cat Federation to attacks on Russian-themed restaurants, many are going too far in their attempt to condemn the Russian regime.

Americans Stuck, How the U.S. Surrendered Kabul, Sullivan’s September Delusion

by

Listen to “Americans Stuck, How the U.S. Surrendered Kabul, Sullivan’s September Delusion” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they process the latest difficult news out of Afghanistan. First, they discuss the American citizens who are trying to get out and can’t get to the airport while the U.S. government pretends it’s not happening. They also fume over a Washington Post story that the Taliban offered to give the U.S. control of Kabul until the withdrawal deadline and Biden turned them down. And they shake their heads as White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan insists we’ll have all sorts of leverage to get citizens and allies out of Afghanistan, even after our military leaves.

The Incriminating Cable, The Stranded Americans, Charging for Evacuations

by

Listen to “The Incriminating Cable, The Stranded Americans, Charging for Evacuations” on Spreaker.

It’s another day with no good martinis in sight. Join Jim and Greg as they react to reports of a diplomatic cable in July that said the Afghan government was likely to fall shortly after the U.S. withdrawal. They also hammer a key Democrat in Congress for saying the military should not be helping Americans get to the Kabul airport and and the White House Communications Director for suggesting our Afghan allies only have until August 31st to get out. And they rant about the government charging Americans up to $2,000 to be evacuated.

by
