Former Chief Assistant U.S. Attorney and National Review Contributing Editor Andy McCarthy is in for Jim today. Today, they cover four stories for the price of three martinis.
Before getting to the official martinis, Andy and Greg discuss the cargo ship hitting and collapsing the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore. Andy cautions people from jumping to conclusions but also warns authorities not to rule out anything publicly just for the sake of trying to keep people calm.
Next, Andy breaks down Monday’s appeals court decision in New York, which reduced Donald Trump’s bond in the civil fraud case to $175 million. Andy says it was a good decision but explains why the bond should be even lower.
Then, they unload on President Biden and his advisers for abandoning Israel by allowing a United Nations ceasefire resolution to pass out of the UN Security Council. Biden has been growing colder and colder towards Israel in an effort to shore up votes, but Andy explains how Biden is simply continuing the Obama-era policy of appointing Islamists to influential government positions.
Finally, they get a kick out of NBC and MSNBC anchors blasting their own bosses on the air for making former Republican National Committee Chair Ronna Romney McDaniel a paid contributor. Watching all the MSNBC personalities pretend the uproar is about something other than hiring a Republican is very amusing.

The main reason why Ronna Romney McDaniel would likely be fired by NBC is that the left only uses Republican backstabbers while they’re actually in power; after that, they recognize them for the evil that they are.
It’s worth noting that while the space between the bridge supports might be about 3/4 mile, the ship itself is getting up towards 1/4 mile long.
