Supremes Side with Freedom, Absurd COVID Restrictions, Biden & Kamala

December 4, 2020

Hosted by Greg Corombos, Jim Geraghty

Join Jim and Greg for a very lively Friday podcast! First, they cheer the Supreme Court for telling the 9th Circuit to reconsider a case where churches face tighter restrictions than non-religious gatherings. They also hammer Los Angeles and California as their COVID restrictions even forbid “unnecessary walking” and effectively make people prisoners in their own homes. And they react to Joe Biden’s confusing comments about what would happen if he and Kamala Harris ever have a major disagreement over principle.

Georgia Runoff Probe, A Stupid Ultimatum, Lockdowns for Thee & Not Me

December 3, 2020

Hosted by Greg Corombos, Jim Geraghty

Join Jim and Greg as they discuss a new Georgia investigation into efforts to register the dead and other ineligible voters for the January Senate runoffs. They also react to attorney Lin Wood telling Republicans not to vote in the runoffs unless the two GOP senators publicly demand a special session of the legislature to address issues in the presidential race. And they roll their eyes as Los Angeles tells people not to interact with anyone outside their own homes and two more mayors prove themselves to be massive hypocrites on COVID restrictions.

Much has been said about the frustration of those who believe the elections resulted in fraudulent results, and the response of the editors and managers to the resulting posts. Rather than debate the specifics of the arguments on both sides, I’m proposing a different way to study the ensuing controversies: members’ posts about fraudulent elections […]

GOP Wins Iowa Squeaker, China’s COVID Lies, ‘Serial Killers’ & COVID

December 1, 2020

Hosted by Greg Corombos, Jim Geraghty

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome a six-vote win for Republican Marianette Miller-Meeks in a very tight Iowa House race. They also hammer China for covering up what it knew about COVID in the early days of the pandemic as leaked documents confirm what many suspected for months. And they slam a Detroit Free Press columnist for labeling every man, woman, and child as a potential serial killer since they could possibly spread COVID.

Top Iranian Nuke Guy Killed, The Georgia Senate Mistake, Media’s Biden Worship

November 30, 2020

Hosted by Greg Corombos, Jim Geraghty

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome the news that a top figure in Iran’s likely nuclear weapons program was targeted and killed and they marvel at how it was done. They also bang their heads against the table as some Trump supporters suggest opposing GOP senators David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler for being insufficiently vocal about the alleged election fraud and believe writing in Trump in the Senate races would send a powerful message. And they groan as the media clearly intends to stay in full Joe Biden cheerleading mode, including one story featuring an animal psychic who says Biden’s dogs are convinced he will be a great president.

Thank you, Douglas A. Jeffery for your article in the Claremont Review of Books. I read it earlier this week and rolled my eyes so hard, they still hurt a little. Good grief! It’s amazing the incredible vitriol that some so-called “educated” people maintain for Pres. Trump.

“One sure sign,” Frum writes, “is when the president tries to bypass the executive branch that exists to serve him.” This is a Catch-22 worthy of the British sitcom Yes Minister: an elected leader trying to bypass the bureaucrats thwarting him is proof he needs thwarting.

Kerry & Climate Change, Compulsory Voting? Pennsylvania’s Alcohol Ban

November 24, 2020

Hosted by Greg Corombos, Jim Geraghty

There may be no good martinis today but we’re still having a lot of fun! Join Jim and Greg as they groan over Biden’s choice of John Kerry to be a special envoy on climate change and Biden making the progressive climate agenda a major priority. They also tear apart the push for compulsory voting in the U.S. and why not caring about politics should remain one of our cherished rights. And they unload on Pennsylvania for implementing an arbitrary ban on alcohol sales in bars and restaurants on Wednesday.

Major Middle East Step? Vaccine Battles Loom, Trump Team Boots Powell

November 23, 2020

Hosted by Greg Corombos, Jim Geraghty

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome disputed reports that the leaders of Saudi Arabia and Israel met in recent days in hopes that the thaw in Middle East tensions is spreading even farther. As the CEO of Qantas Airlines announces all passengers on international flights will eventually need to be vaccinated against COVID to be allowed on board, Jim and Greg discuss why that’s a difficult policy to enforce and whether people will shut out from society if they refuse. And they discuss the Trump legal team parting ways with Sidney Powell just days after their much-discussed press conference.

Kids & School, Election Fraud Allegations, Obama & the Middle East

November 20, 2020

Hosted by Greg Corombos, Jim Geraghty

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome growing evidence that coronavirus transmission rates are very low in the schools. Jim explains why the Trump campaign’s accusations of massive election fraud don’t seem to hold water.

Senate Dems Fuming, Biden’s Bad Gun Plan, Cuomo Unhinged

November 19, 2020

Hosted by Greg Corombos, Jim Geraghty

Join Jim and Greg as they discuss Senate Democrats unloading on Minority Leader Chuck Schumer over Democrats failing to win several highly targeted seats this year. Is his job safe? They also unload on Joe Biden’s plan to tax gun owners $34 billion and ban some of the most popular rifles and magazines on the market. And they dissect New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo melting down over COVID, schools, and law enforcement officers refusing to endorse his absurd policy on Thanksgiving gatherings.

GOP Unloads on Warnock, Staggering COVID Hypocrisy, Biden Goes Corporate

November 18, 2020

Hosted by Greg Corombos, Jim Geraghty

Join Jim and Greg as they credit Republicans for keeping a treasure trove of opposition research on Raphael Warnock quiet until the Georgia Senate runoff. Now they are highlighting Warnock’s radical statements on many different issues. They also walk through a number of burdensome new COVID restrictions, including Pennsylvania’s requirement to wear masks in your own home if you have guests, and contrast that with politicians like California Gov. Gavin Newsom who don’t think the rules apply to them. And they get a kick out of watching Bernie Sanders supporters become deeply disappointed with Joe Biden as he names corporate figures to most positions in his inner circle.

Sheriffs Defy Cuomo, College Loan Wars, ‘Hunting Four Horsemen’

November 17, 2020

Hosted by Greg Corombos, Jim Geraghty

Join Jim and Greg as they cheer four sheriffs in New York for refusing to investigate whether local residents have more than ten people in their homes for Thanksgiving. They also push back against the push by Democrats to forgive vast amounts of student loan debt and discuss the backlash that would ensue. And they discuss Jim’s new thriller “Hunting Four Horsemen” and how it ties into the threat we’ve all been dealing with this year.

November 16, 2020

Hosted by Greg Corombos, Jim Geraghty

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome the news that Moderna’s new coronavirus vaccine is nearly 95 percent effective. They also look at the Georgia runoffs, hos history is on the GOP’s side, and how the opposition research on Rev. Warnock is now flowing freely. And they react to Georgia Democrats assuming Stacey Abrams will run for governor again in 2022.

I make a point of wearing T-shirts with nothing printed on them but if I did wear one with something printed on it, it would probably read “Be Kind To Plants By Not Eating Them.” There is no record of my ever having used the word “alas,” not conversationally anyway. I feel that freedom from the press is at least as important as freedom of the press.

Dems Stuck in the House, Legendary Bad Advice, Manchin vs. AOC

November 13, 2020

Hosted by Greg Corombos, Jim Geraghty

Join Jim and Greg as they relish Democrats likely having such a tight majority in the House that it will be tough for many to accept jobs in the executive branch because the vacancies could make it tough for Democrats to get much legislation done. They also hammer musician John Legend for suggesting you’ll do more good donating to Democrats running for U.S. Senate in Georgia than giving to your local food bank. And they update the infighting among Democrats by discussing the latest salvos from Joe Manchin and AOC.

Big Stakes in Georgia, Ticketmaster’s COVID Crackdown, Friedman’s Georgia Insanity

November 12, 2020

Hosted by Greg Corombos, Jim Geraghty

Join Jim and Greg as they discuss why it’s so critical for Republicans to win one – or preferably both – of the Georgia Senate races and Louisiana Sen. John Kennedy also distills it very well. They also recoil as Ticketmaster plans to force concertgoers to prove they’ve been vaccinated or tested negative just prior to the event. And they hammer New York Times columnist Tom Friedman for urging Democrats to move to Georgia in order to help the party win the Senate races there.
