Vance Leads Ryan, Fed Expects Stubborn Inflation, Gen. Hayden’s Crazy Claim

August 18, 2022 by GregC

Listen to “Vance Leads Ryan, Fed Expects Stubborn Inflation, Gen. Hayden’s Crazy Claim” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they are glad to see a new poll showing the Ohio Senate race narrowly favoring the GOP. They also grimace as the Fed expects inflation to stay stubbornly high for awhile – even with persistent interest rate hikes. And they fire back at former NSA and CIA Director Gen. Michael Hayden for absurdly agreeing that Republicans in the U.S. are the most “nihilistic, dangerous, and contemptible group” recently seen anywhere in the world.

Gas Price Spin, Dems Insult Latinas Again, Can Ryan Out-Fox Vance?

July 19, 2022 by GregC

Listen to “Gas Price Spin, Dems Insult Latinas Again, Can Ryan Out-Fox Vance?” on Spreaker.

Jim & Greg are glad to see White House reporter James Rosen put Biden economic adviser Jared Bernstein on the spot as to why Biden takes no blame when gas prices rise and all the credit when they come down. They also shake their heads as yet another Democrat trots out stereotypical insults against a Republican Latina. And they get a good laugh as Ohio Democrat Tim Ryan rolls out a new ad of him being praised by Fox News hosts.

Jill Biden’s Pandering, The Very Odd Abortion Story, Tucker vs. Stewart?

July 12, 2022 by GregC

Listen to “Jill Biden’s Pandering, The Very Odd Abortion Story, Tucker vs. Stewart?” on Spreaker.

It’s all crazy martinis today! Join Jim and Greg as they break down the criticism of First Lady Jill Biden after her cringeworthy pandering to Latinos in Texas. They also the growing evidence that the story of a 10-year-old girl being raped and denied an abortion may be pure fiction. And they groan at the calls for Tucker Carlson and Jon Stewart to run for president – which Stewart is thankfully rejecting at this point.

Florida’s Dodged Bullet, The Dem Touting Trump, Redefining ‘Recession’

June 22, 2022 by GregC

Listen to “Florida’s Dodged Bullet, The Dem Touting Trump, Redefining ‘Recession'” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they breathe another sigh of relief that Ron DeSantis is governor of Florida after yet another scandal for Democrat Andrew Gillum, who came within a whisker of winning in 2018. They also shake their heads as Ohio Democrat Tim Ryan is trying to play the “I’m not like those other Democrats” card as he tries to win a U.S. Senate seat – and Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly is trying the same lame strategy. But there’s just one problem!  And  they sigh as Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen seems to be trying to redefine a recession.

Dems Reject Lincoln Project, More U.S. War Admissions, Psaki Fans Abortion Protests

May 6, 2022 by GregC

Listen to “Dems Reject Lincoln Project, More U.S. War Admissions, Psaki’s Bad Protest Advice” on Spreaker.

Jim Geraghty is back! Today, he and Greg get a kick out of the sleazy Lincoln Project vowing to help Democrat Tim Ryan win the Ohio Senate race and Ryan’s team makes it clear they don’t want the group anywhere near the campaign. Jim sounds off as the Biden administration publicly confirms even more intelligence work directly connected to Ukrainian military operations, including the sinking of the Moskva. And outgoing Press Secretary Jen Psaki refuses to tell abortion protesters to stay away from the private residences of Supreme Court justices.

March 9, 2022 by GregC

Listen to “Manchin Demands Domestic Energy, Gulf Nations Snub Biden, Buckeye Senate Brawl” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome public comments from Dem Senators Joe Manchin and Jon Tester urging President Biden to boost production of American energy. They also react to leaders from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates refusing to speak with Biden about boosting oil output. And they examine the Ohio GOP Senate primary and curious media practice of spending the most time talking about the candidate who is clearly in third place.

Vaccine Progress, The Shutdown Debate, Ohio Election Drama

March 17, 2020 by GregC

Listen to “Vaccine Progress, The Shutdown Debate, Ohio Election Drama” on Spreaker.

The home version of the Three Martini Lunch is now up and running but there is always a stool for you! After Jim revels in the news that Tom Brady’s 20-year run with the New England Patriots is over, he and Greg tackle the good, bad, and crazy martinis of the day. First, they welcome the news from Dr. Anthony Fauci that a possible coronavirus vaccine is already in the first stages of testing. They also wonder just how restrictive government officials are going to get as they down society in an effort to confront coronavirus now that San Francisco is ordering residents to shelter in place, groups larger than 10 people are discouraged, and New Jersey is dabbling with curfews. Finally, they weight both sides of the furious political and legal fight in Ohio after Gov. Mike DeWine ordered Tuesday’s primary to be postponed.

GOP Leads Ohio House Race, Republican Rep. Indicted, John Hinckley Requests Release

August 8, 2018 by GregC

Listen to “GOP Leads Ohio House Race, Republican Rep. Indicted, John Hinckley Requests Release” on Spreaker.
Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America cheer the narrow lead of Republican Troy Balderson over Democrat Danny O’Connor in the special election for Ohio’s 12th Congressional District, but they fear the low GOP-voter turnout in a strong red district bodes badly for Republicans in the 2018 midterm elections. They also suspect Democrats will use the insider trading indictment against New York Rep. Chris Collins to paint Republicans as a  party of corruption and greed. And they’re perplexed by the public support for the release of John Hinckley, Jr., who shot four people during the attempted assassination of President Ronald Reagan in 1981.

SCOTUS & Voter Rolls, Anti-Semite Seeks Ellison Seat, NYT Suddenly Loves Mitt

June 11, 2018 by GregC


Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America praise the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold an Ohio law that cuts inactive voters from the rolls if they haven’t voted in the past six years or asked the state to keep them on.  They also blast a self-described intersectional, Muslim feminist, who is seeking the Democratic nomination for Keith Ellison’s Minnesota congressional seat, over her ugly tweet about Israel.  And they unload on the New York Times for their sudden embrace of Mitt Romney.

Refugee Policies and Recognizing Threats in Ohio State Aftermath

November 30, 2016 by GregC

http://dateline.radioamerica.org/podcast/11-30-kushner-blog.mp3

The apparent terrorist attack on pedestrians at Ohio State University Monday is triggering a wide range of political and cultural reaction, but a leading terrorism expert says the most important responses need to be much tougher screening for refugees and helping people spot radical threats before they strike.

On Monday morning, Somali refugee Abdul Azak Ali Artan allegedly drove a car into a crowd of people before getting out and trying to stab as many people as possible.  Artan was quickly shot and killed by campus police officer Alan Horuljko.

In the aftermath, the Obama administration has been careful not to describe the attack as radical Islamic terrorism, despite ISIS claiming credit for the attack and officials suggesting Artan’s social media postings indicate he was inspired by ISIS.  At least one of the victims says he is withholding judgment on Artan’s motives.

President-Elect Donald Trump was much less diplomatic, saying Artan never should have been in the country in the first place.

Terrorism expert Dr. Harvey Kushner says Artan should have raised red flags as he tried to enter the U.S.

“This individual should have raised some red flags, given when he came here.  At the time when he came here and the time when ISIS was beginning to be in full bloom and was recruiting heavily on the internet.  And the area of the world which he came from should have raised some questions of more extreme vetting,” said Kushner.

Kushner, who is also head of the Terrorism and Homeland Security Institute at Long Island University.  He says Artan’s actions were a textbook ISIS attack, given the terrorists’ public push for stabbing attacks.  He says we have to do a better job of screening who comes into this country.

“Our authorities need to be able to get data on individuals who want to come in here.  There has to be a very deep interviewing process and there has to be some kind of follow-up while they’re here.  I’m not saying to pause completely from all areas of the world but some areas are certainly more problematic,” said Kushner.

“People from certain regions of the world that we know are problematic, which we know bring political baggage with them could cause a problem in the future.  This attack represents such an incident,” said Kushner.

He says trying to limit refugees from terror-prone nations is made far more difficult now that so many are dispersed throughout Europe and could attempt to come to the U.S. from nations that don’t raise red flags.

“What’s happened throughout Europe and the European Union and movement between countries there,” said Kushner.  “We really need to step back and take a look at the process that we have currently in terms of gathering data about individuals and making sure these individuals don’t pose a serious threat.”

While students who claim to know Artan say they never suspected he was radicalized, Kushner says it is far more likely that this rage was building for some time rather then Artan suddenly snapping.

“I don’t think this necessarily happens overnight, that there’s some sort of epiphany that the person should go out and do this.  I think this was building up.  Most likely it was disguised in his behavior prior to this.  I don’t think there was a straw that broke the camel’s back.  There was a build-up here and I think we need to be more astute about recognizing these signs,” said Kushner.

Kushner admits spotting a threat is not easy.

“It’s not recognizable to the general public or the people close by, because they’re not trained as psychologists or psychiatrists or people involved in looking at looking at individuals from certain regions of the world,” said Kushner.

He says one of the possible triggers for radicalization is the intense clash of cultures for some people who come to the U.S.

“I’ll get in trouble for saying this, but I will say it.  When you’re bringing people from certain regions of the world who have cultures and backgrounds that are somewhat different that what you have here in the states.  This, unfortunately, lays the groundwork for something like this to spring up,” said Kushner.
