Much Better Debate, Biden’s Many Lies, Libs & Coyotes

October 23, 2020 by GregC

Listen to “Much Better Debate, Biden’s Many Lies, Libs & Coyotes” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they discuss how the final debate was much more pleasant to watch and far more substantive than the first one. They also dissect Joe Biden’s many lies in the debate – from saying he never promised to ban fracking to suggesting that the Hunter Biden laptop story is just Russian disinformation to inexplicably contending no one lost their private health insurance plans because of Obamacare. And they appreciate many lefties revealing just how little they know about immigration policy by misunderstanding and mocking Trump’s reference to “coyotes” smuggling kids across the border.

July 10, 2020 by GregC

Listen to “Biden’s Leftward Lurch, De Blasio’s Hypocrisy, No Football?” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they hammer Joe Biden for promising to force the Little Sisters of the Poor and others to include contraception coverage for employees, regardless of their personal beliefs. They also slam New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio for shredding the first amendment by banning large gatherings except for Black Lives Matter protesting. And they wonder whether there will be football in September as the Big Ten kills its non-conference schedule and the NFL seems destined for a major labor fight.

Impeachment Trial Standoff, Tulsi Votes Present, Another Obamacare Showdown

December 19, 2019 by GregC

Listen to “Impeachment Trial Standoff, Tulsi Votes Present, Another Obamacare Showdown” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they comment on the moments from Wednesday’s impeachment votes that stand out to them, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi having to enforce her no gloating policy. Then they dive into three crazy martinis, starting with Pelosi saying she won’t pass the impeachment articles along to the Senate unless she’s convinced it will be a fair process. They scratch their heads as Tulsi Gabbard votes present on both articles of impeachment and wonder what her political future holds. And they dissect the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals declaring the individual mandate unconstitutional and Jim wonders whether Republicans would have any legislation ready to go if the Supreme Court were to strike down all of Obamacare.

Trudeau in Trouble, Trump & the Whistleblower, House GOP’s Tired 2020 Agenda

September 19, 2019 by GregC

Listen to “Trudeau in Trouble, Trump & the Whistleblower, House GOP’s Tired 2020 Agenda” on Spreaker.

It’s all crazy martinis today!  Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America start with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau found to have used blackface on at least three occasions but the maddening part is how the left is urging everyone to calm down with respect to Trudeau when they would have cast a non-leftist to the wolves and even Trudeau himself says these sorts of stories ought to be judges on a case by case basis.  They also wait for more information after reports say an intelligence whistleblower is accusing Trump of making a shocking promise to a world leader.  Is this a major scandal in the making or just more media hyperventilation?  And let’s just say they’re severely underwhelmed as House Republicans make repealing Obamacare and reducing the national debt their priorities if voters return to the majority – particularly when they did neither when they had the chance in the first two years of the Trump administration.

Mark Sanford is considering a challenge to Trump in the 2020 Republican primary.

Inside the 5th Circuit Obamacare Fight

July 10, 2019 by GregC

Listen to “Inside the 5th Circuit Obamacare Fight” on Spreaker.

On Tuesday, a three-judge panel of the Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals heard arguments over whether the repeal of the tax penalty for refusing to buy health insurance makes the entire Affordable Care Act unconstitutional.

Texas is leading a coalition of states trying to get the law declared unconstitutional. Rob Henneke of the Texas Public Policy Foundation is arguing for the law to be struck down on behalf of individual Americans. In December, a federal district judge in Texas agreed that the end of the tax penalty meant that all of Obamacare ought to be struck down. Liberal states then appealed to the Fifth Circuit.

What happened in the oral arguments before the appellate judges? Where did the judges focus most of their questions? How did they respond to the argument that only Congress, and not courts, can do away with the law?

We discuss all of this with Rob Henneke and ask whether he thinks he can win over Chief Justice John Roberts if and when the case reaches the Supreme Court.

Ralph Northam and his campaign money again.

Turner: Trump Ready to Move on Our Health Plan

April 3, 2019 by GregC

Listen to “Turner: Trump Ready to Move on Our Health Plan” on Spreaker.

President Trump now says he will wait until after the 2020 election to pursue repealing and replacing the Affordable Care Act again, but Galen Institute President Grace-Marie Turner says Trump is champing at the bit to get health reform done and he wants to do it with the plan she and other policy experts are championing.

Turner and her health policy consensus group have been urging lawmakers to take up the Health Care Choices Act.  Two weeks ago, while playing golf with Trump at Mar-a-Lago, South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham detailed the proposal and Trump immediately embraced it.

“The president got excited, saying, ‘Oh my goodness, there’s another plan out there.  This is my plan to make America great again.’  And so he kind of said let’s go do this,” said Turner.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell immediately dumped cold water on the idea, saying the Senate did not have time to take up the issue in this Congress.  With Democrats controlling the House of Representatives, there is virtually no chance of a GOP bill making it to Trump’s desk.  Many on the right also see another fierce debate damaging their prospects in 2020.

Trump now says he will move forward on health care as soon as the next presidential race is over.  Turner thinks the future of health care policy will be a huge issue in this campaign.

“This is a huge decision for the American people.  What direction do you want your health care system to go in for the next generation?  Do you want to go toward even more government control of the system with a Medicare for all, which is really mandatory Medicaid with no choices or do you want to finally have a properly-functioning market so that you the consumer are in the driver’s seat,” said Turner.

Turner says the crux of the Health Care Choices Act is moving power out of Washington.

“The reason this plan is different is that it realizes the federal government is completely out of its element in regulating, overseeing, managing, micromanaging something as regional and personal as health care.

“We believe the states, which by the way have decades of experience in overseeing health insurance markets, can spend this money more wisely and will have incentives to give their citizens more choices,” said Turner.

In addition, Turner says this approach will protect Americans with pre-existing conditions while lowering premiums due to a provision in the existing law, known as Section 1332.

“It gives states the ability to say, ‘Let me take some of this money that is currently going to insurance companies, and instead re-purpose it to give additional support for people who have high health care costs, who have expensive chronic conditions, and use some of that money to separately subsidize them so that the people in the general pool don’t have to pay such high premiums to cross-subsidize them,” said Turner.

Listen to the full podcast to hear Turner’s extended explanation of the legislation, what the results have been in states where some of the main concepts have been tried, and why there will still need to be federal “guardrails” if the bill passes.

Trump Waits on Health Bill, Beto Bashes Electoral College, Bloomberg Reconsiders

April 2, 2019 by GregC

Listen to “Trump Waits on Health Bill, Beto Bashes Electoral College, Bloomberg Reconsiders” on Spreaker.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America admit that it’s good politics for President Trump and Republicans to postpone another effort to dismantle Obamacare until after the 2020 election but are frustrated that the GOP still doesn’t have a coherent plan almost a decade after Obamacare as passed.  They also blast Beto O’Rourke as he calls for the abolishing of the electoral college because it goes all the way back to the founding and claims that it somehow perpetuates racial discrimination.  And they get a kick out of reports that former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is reconsidering a 2020 presidential bid if Joe Biden decides not to run or becomes too damaged to have a decent shot at winning.
