It’s Russia Hour

It’s a big scary world out there–or so we’re told. But how do we sort what to worry about and what not to? We say: bring on some guys who know their stuff! That’s why Dr. Jay Bhattacharya is back. He wants to keep us calm, despite the return of variant hysteria; he and the hosts talk Omicron and a world limping its way back to normal.

Then, Seth Cropsey, senior fellow at the Hudson Institute, joins the gang to take us through the vanishing power vacuum left by the US, Putin’s goals in Ukraine, and the future of American naval power. Abandon all hope? Or can we bounce back? Listen to find out!

Plus we’ve got James’ thoughts on the Golden State; Rob talks EU, sugar cubes and the creeping pace of bad policy and the disasters they create; Peter’s wife is none too pleased to see the Pelosi’s latest purchase; and the gang is happy to see that Democrats are losing ground with the non-crazies.

    @ roblong ‘s comment on how as TX got browner it got redder was fabulous. I didn’t have this as up-front and center in my mind as I should have. Excellent point. Only nit to pick is those “sane” consultants like Carville are only about 5% of the remaining consultants – only those with any name cred have survived. Full purge.

    Since the loons have purged the Democratic party of most “normies” and all “Blue Dog” Dems and are continuing down the path that alienates everyone but status-seeking multiple degree holding Big City types – all is going well! Now I just need to see the continued forward progress in realigning the GOP to its new base and new direction. Talk about a flip! The way the D’s ran the 1900’s the R’s may the 2000’s.

    Trump deserves a lot of credit for getting a lot of “minorities” to flip.

    Is it me, or has Rob shifted a little to the right?  Peter seems to be not so naïve and James is dead sexy with the sounding of the Gigantic Viking Horn.  Now that’s a way to start a party.

    I think I’ll reserve my “sympathies” for people who may have some excuse for not knowing better, years ago.  Rob and Peter don’t.

    Can we get a fact check on the Pelosi mansion in Florida? When I googled it all the (fake news media?) headlines said she didn’t and I don’t have time to waste on it.

    I don’t know for sure if they actually bought a house, but I’m confident that the MSM would call it “false” if the mansion actually cost even 1 cent more or less than exactly $25,000,000.00.  Or if “Nancy Pelosi” didn’t buy it but some company she controls did…  or she didn’t buy it herself, her husband did…  Or they haven’t yet had the final closing so it’s not “bought” yet…

    And some have been charged with crimes just for trying to keep their businesses afloat.

    What a horrific story. The person who should be behind bars is Governor Walz and that A-hole judge should be disbarred.

    The judge accused threw her in jail for “trying to profit from a pandemic” when the truth is she was “trying to survive the unconstitutional forced business closures that the governor imposed.”

    Business owners are being destroyed while the Nazis destroying them continue to enjoy unprecedented power.
