Listen to “Good Night for GOP, LA’s Lost Summer, CNN’s Latest Embarrassment” on Spreaker.
Join Jim and Greg as they cheer one certain Republican win in a congressional election on Tuesday and a likely win in another, but also wonder what a national election based mostly on voting by mail will look like.

And they blast CNN for booking Greta Thunberg to be an expert guest for its coronavirus town hall.
Listen to “Better Looking Models, Why Is Wisconsin Voting? NBC Parrots China” on Spreaker.
Join Jim and Greg as they welcome far lower COVID-19 death projections than we were seeing just days ago but hope they still go much lower. They also wonder why Wisconsin is still holding elections in the midst of a stay-at-home order and fear Republicans will get blamed for any rise in cases linked to voting lines. And they hammer NBC for reporting China’s bogus numbers on COVID cases and deaths as if they are accepted facts.
Listen to “Public Rejects Felons Voting, Cohen & Falwell, Humanity & Insanity” on Spreaker.
Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America cheer new poll numbers showing Americans overwhelming reject the idea of felons voting from behind bars, an idea promoted by Sen. Bernie Sanders. They also shudder at reports – apparently from Michael Cohen – that Cohen helped Liberty University President Jerry Falwell, Jr. squash the possible release of highly embarrassing photos, and that eventually triggered Falwell’s endorsement of Trump in early 2016. And Jim unleashes a terrific rant in response to the pro-choice CNN guest who says a pregnant woman does not have a human being inside of her.
Listen to “Bernie Doubles Down, Hogan Mulls 2020, Politics & the NFL Draft” on Spreaker.
Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America are finally back together. Today they relish Bernie Sanders doubling down on his push for incarcerated felons to have the right to vote, with Jim explaining how the issue could really damage Bernie if he becomes the nominee. They also roll their eyes as Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan seriously mulls a primary challenge to President Trump while still lagging badly behind juggernauts like John Kasich and William Weld. And Jim surprisingly agrees with the woke USA Today columnist who is slamming the likely No. 2 overall pick in this week’s NFL Draft for shying away from his conservative politics on social media – although Jim’s motivation for agreeing remains a tad suspicious.
Listen to “Bravo DeSantis, Dems & Illegal Voters, Millennials & Socialism” on Spreaker.
Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America enthusiastically cheer the first two months of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and point out that good things can happen when a leader hits the ground running on the things they promised to do. They also wince as just six House Democrats agree that illegal immigrants shouldn’t be voting. And they wonder if millennials are really far to the left or whether they embrace labels they don’t quite understand as 73 percent favor the government instituting universal health care but 79 percent want to keep private insurance.
Listen to “Gillibrand's Strange Defense, Ilhan's Israel Issue, The Left Loves Teen Voters” on Spreaker.
Jim Geraghty of National Review and author and speaker Greg Knapp puzzle over Senator Kirstin Gillibrand’s campaign strategy after she dismissed criticism of her shifting policy positions by accusing Rachel Maddow of MSNBC of using Republican talking-points. They also note the Democrat’s virtual inaction in response to Congresswoman Ilhan Omar’s controversial comments on Israel and ask if this reveals a significant change in the party. And they also determine that Rep. Ayanna Pressley’s plan to lower the legal voting age for federal elections to 16 is a bad idea and would contribute to the ongoing infantilization of America.
Listen to “Are Non-Citizens Voting in Texas?” on Spreaker.
Texas officials say they found 95,000 non-citizens registered to vote and believe as many as 58,000 cast ballots in the state. More investigating needs to be done to determine how many of those people became citizens after registering, but one election law experts believes this is simply the tip of the iceberg.
“I think what they’re going to find is that a large percentage of these individuals were, in fact, not U.S. citizens when they registered to vote,” said Hans von Spakovsky, manager of the Election Law Reform Initiative at the Heritage Foundation.
He says other evidence proves this is more than a hunch.
“Federal reports indicate that the majority or folks who register to vote do so when they go to a state driver’s license bureau and get a license. So I think they’re probably going to find that a very large number of these 95,000 individuals registered to vote at the very same time that they went in to get a driver’s license as a legal non-citizen,” said von Spakovsky
State official will now be asking county officials in Texas to look at each of those possible non-citizen voters to determine if they are now citizens and were citizens when they registered and when many of them voted.
Von Spakovsky says this revelation does not surprise him at all.
“It’s no surprise because it just complements the other evidence that has been found from many other states across the country that non-citizens are illegally registering and voting,” said von Spakovsky, noting that California now automatically registers anyone to vote when they come in to get a driver’s license.
Listen to the full podcast to hear von Spakovsky explain why he believes red and blue states will have very different reactions regardless of the final conclusions in Texas, why some political leaders seem to have no interest in making sure only eligible citizens are voting in their jurisdictions, and how he sees an effort to blur the distinction between citizens and non-citizens.

Listen to “Trump vs. Acosta, Antifa vs. Tucker, Women’s March vs. Women” on Spreaker.
Alexandra DeSanctis of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America tackle three crazy martinis today. They wade into the battle of monstrous egos as CNN White House Correspondent Jim Acosta grandstands and tries to debate President Trump about the migrants headed for the U.S. border and Trump responds by calling Acosta a “terrible person” and pulling his White House press credentials. They also recoil as Antifa protesters find the home of Fox News host Tucker Carlson, damaging his front door, and chanting that they know where he sleeps while Carlson’s wife hides in the pantry. They get a kick out of the rank hypocrisy of the left-wing Women’s March for berating the white women who voted for Republicans. And Alexandra takes us inside the North Dakota and Indiana Senate wins for the GOP and what she learned from covering those two races closely.
