Join Jim and Greg as they assess a high-ranking former New York government official getting charged with spying for China, Tucker Carlson platforming an “historian” pushing insane ideas about World War II, and the ‘Reagan’ movie.
First, they shake their heads as the former Deputy Chief of Staff to New York Gov. Kathy Hochul is charged with spying on behalf of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). They also roll their eyes that Hochul is shocked that the CCP would do such a thing, but they do appreciate her referring to Taiwan as a country.
Next, they unload on Tucker Carlson for hosting a long, nonconfrontational interview with an “historian” who contends that Winston Churchill is the “chief villain” of World War II and that the Holocaust was simply the response to the Nazis capturing so many Russian prisoners who would have otherwise starved to death.
Finally, they offer their reviews of “Reagan,” the new film depicting Reagan’s lifelong crusade against Soviet communism from Hollywood to the Oval Office. And while they both offer some constructive criticism, they both see the film as a good account of how Reagan viewed the communist threat and how he successfully dealt with it.

Tucker Carlson sure doesn’t seem concerned about the upcoming election, wasting time on vile garbage like this.
World War II revisionism is part of the promotion of isolationism. American intervention has to be always unnecessary and/or counterproductive and/or immoral.
For example, in the late 1980’s the libertarian anarchist Sam Konkin told me the Jews who died in the Holocaust actually took refuge behind the Iron Curtain. When the Iron Curtain fell, a few years later, there were indeed a great many Jews there — but they were the same Jews that had been there all along. The “missing” millions were still missing.
Here is VDH on WWII – maybe Tucker should keep to a real historian
