Jim in Taiwan: The Chinese Threat, Strong Defenses, Earthquakes & Innovation

by

Listen to “Jim in Taiwan: The Chinese Threat, Strong Defenses, Earthquakes & Innovation” on Spreaker.

Jim spent more than a week in Taiwan, getting first-hand briefing and answers to key questions about how our ally is bracing for a possible Chinese invasion. Today, Jim briefs us on what he learned – the good the bad and the crazy.

First, Jim explains the significant advantages Taiwan has in the event of Chinese aggression. From the physical characteristics of the island to the massive urban setting and even jungle conditions in other areas, China would face a hostile environment in addition to a hostile population.

Then Jim details the sobering assessment that China will likely attack within the next several years. He also shares how Taiwan’s lack of formal independence gives it a second-class status in several important ways – from the United Nations to being ignored by Interpol and the World Health Organization.

Finally, Jim reveals some of the intense and amusing sidelights, from being caught in an earthquake to the quirks of other journalists on the trip to his overt jealousy of the superior engineering of Taiwanese toilets.

Pence Ends 2024 Bid, Russian Airport Mob Targets Jews, Rep. Phillips Challenges Biden

by

Listen to “Pence Ends 2024 Bid, Russian Airport Mob Targets Jews, Rep. Phillips Challenges Biden” on Spreaker.

Jim Geraghty is a bit weary but he’s back from Taiwan! Join Jim and Greg as they discuss former Vice President Mike Pence announcing that he is suspending his presidential campaign and former President Trump saying he expects a Pence endorsement.

They also shudder as a predominantly-Muslim mob of Russians in Dagestan swarm an airport trying to get their hands on Jewish people. Jim says that last week we witnessed “the American intifada” on U.S. college campuses and it’s obvious there are plenty of others around the world who feel the same hatred.

Finally, they serve up a double crazy martini over Rep. Dean Phillips challenging President Biden for the Democratic presidential nomination. It’s crazy because very few Americans know who Phillips is but the reaction on the left that this new campaign is a threat to democracy is also insane.

by

Listen to “China’s Lousy Economy, Reality in Afghanistan, White House Briefing Blunders” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they cautiously welcome news that China’s economy is struggling mightily as a result of the prolonged, Draconian COVID lockdowns. But what might China do to distract its people from those economic problems? They also mark two years since the fall of Kabul to the Taliban during Biden’s humiliating exit from Afghanistan – and point out all of the horrific restrictions reimposed on women and girls. Finally, they roll their eyes at the sheer incompetence of White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, who butchered the names of both Hawaii senators and referred to Sen. Mazie Hirono as a “he.”
Timestamps:
0:21 – China’s struggling economy
6:22 – Two years after the fall of Kabul, life for Afghan women is as bad as you would expect.

Americans Back Taiwan, Michigan Attacks Free Speech, Media’s Biden Smokescreen

by

Listen to “Americans Back Taiwan, Michigan Attacks Free Speech, Media’s Biden Smokescreen” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg for a full course of good, bad, and crazy martinis. First they react to a new Rasmussen Reports poll revealing that most Americans support Taiwan’s independence, and discuss how it clashes with the recently soft stances of the Biden Administration towards the Chinese Communist Party. They then critique a new bill in Michigan that would jail people for up to five years if their speech makes someone “feel threatened”. Finally, they comment on the media distracting from the Biden corruption scandal by suggesting the “real lesson” is Joe Biden’s unconditional love for his son through Hunter’s battles with addiction.

Americans Reject EV Mandates, China’s Latest Aggression, CNN’s Identity Crisis

by

Listen to “Americans Reject EV Mandates, China’s Latest Aggression, CNN’s Identity Crisis” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome a new survey showing American overwhelmingly opposed to phasing out gas-powered vehicles and fossil fuel-based energy, not to mention paying a lot more for their energy. They also groan as the Chinese take threatening action against a U.S. Navy destroyer in the Taiwan Strait and wonder if the Biden administration has a coherent strategy for dealing with the CCP. Finally, they react to the Tim Alberta’s profile of embattled CNN CEO and Chairman Chris Licht and why granting any journalist access to just about every part of your life is almost always a horrible idea.

by

Listen to “All-American Chips, Youngkin Reconsiders 2024, Fetterman’s Dubious Recovery” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they applaud the news that Apple is striking a major deal with Broadcom to make hi-tech chips here in the U.S. They also react to reports that Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin may be reconsidering a 2024 presidential bid and become a late entry in the GOP field after this year’s elections. Finally, they cast a skeptical eye on reports that wearing hoodies and shorts is a clear sign that Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman is recovering well from his recent depression but do welcome reports from other lawmakers that he seems to be doing better.

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.

by

Listen to “McCarthy Stands with Taiwan, Lemon’s Bad Behavior, RFK Jr. 2024” on Spreaker.

Ricochet Editor-in-Chief Jon Gabriel is in for Jim. Join Jon and Greg as they cheer House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and a bipartisan congressional delegation for meeting with Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen in defiance of Chinese demands and touting the importance of a free Taiwan. They also react to new allegations that CNN’s Don Lemon harassed former co-anchor Kyra Phillips back in 2008, including ripping up her photos and papers when she got an assignment that he wanted and for texting threatening messages to her. Finally, they roll their eyes as Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. throws his hat into the ring for the 2024 Democratic presidential nomination.

Masks Off, China’s New Taiwan Threat, Pennsylvania Rerun?

by

Listen to “Masks Off, China’s New Taiwan Threat, Pennsylvania Rerun?” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they serve up three crazy martinis! First, they note New York City Mayor Eric Adams demanding that people remove their masks before entering stores. It’s an effort to identify shoplifters and looters, which is good, but it wasn’t long ago that that you couldn’t do much of anything in the Big Apple unless you were masked up. They also shake their heads as China makes another overt threat towards Taiwan, mentioning a blacklist of Taiwanese figures to kill during the coming invasion. Finally, there’s less than thrilled that the Republican who lost the Pennsylvania governor’s race last year is thinking about running for U.S. Senate next year.

Why Gas Prices Are Down, Businesses Bailing on Taiwan? Maloney’s Mea Culpa

by

Listen to “Why Gas Prices Are Down, Businesses Bailing on Taiwan? Maloney's Mea Culpa” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they dig into reports that plummeting demand – and not President Biden – are responsible for falling gas prices. They also sigh as businesses of all sizes are making plans to flee Taiwan if the China invades. And they get a kick out of New York Rep. Carolyn Maloney saying she didn’t expect President Biden to run again in 2024 and then gushing over him with praise when she apologizes.
