First Quarter Growth, Biden on Schools, Biden’s Mask Malarkey

11
Hosted by Greg Corombos & Jim Geraghty

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome 6.4 percent economic growth in the first quarter of 2021. They also hope President Biden will keep his word that schools should be fully open in the fall. But they have no idea why Biden insists on social distancing and wearing masks around other vaccinated people. Oh, and there may be a bit of NFL Draft talk in there too.

Stopping Government Stupidity, The Trump Phone Call, ‘Amen & A Woman’

73
Hosted by Greg Corombos & Jim Geraghty

Happy New Year! Join Jim and Greg as they cheer the government making the right choice to void a major penalty for distilleries that produced hand sanitizer to meet demand in the early months of the pandemic. They also discuss President Trump’s phone call with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, in which Trump said Georgia officials had not done enough to investigate voting irregularities and said he needed to find nearly 12,000 votes. And they have fun with the total lunacy of House Democrats removing gendered language and Rep. Emanuel Cleaver ending his open prayer of the new session by saying “Amen and A woman.”

Warren’s Weak Polling, Beto Bails on 2020, Durham’s Determination

63

After a surprisingly brief venting about how bad their football teams are, Jim and Greg serve up three good martinis.  They welcome New York Times polling showing Warren as the weakest major Democratic candidate against President Trump and an NYT editorial blasting Warren for falsely claiming that only billionaires would see higher taxes in her plan to pay for single-payer health care.  Then they relish the exit of Beto O’Rourke from the 2020 Democratic field and also hammer the media for building up Beto as some sort of transformational figure in 2018 when he was always an empty suit.  And Jim highlights his extensive profile of U.S. Attorney John Durham, the tight-lipped prosecutor tapped to investigate how the Trump-Russia investigation began in the first place.

Horror in Pittsburgh, Elusive Young Voters, Twitter Solves Internet Hate

66
Hosted by Greg Corombos & Jim Geraghty

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America recoil in horror as an avowed neo-Nazi opens fire in a Pittsburgh-area synagogue, killing eleven people and wounding others because he thought all Jews needed to die.  They also discuss the liberal insistence that this is the year young voters really show up at the polls, but early voting does not suggest that’s happening.  And they roll their eyes as Twitter considers scrapping the “like” button to stop hateful messages from going viral.  They also react in very different ways following the Bears’ win over the Jets on Sunday.

Early Voter Edge to GOP, Dems Duck Caravan Debate, Sadistic Saudis

54
Hosted by Greg Corombos & Jim Geraghty

After another round of vicious third-party ads surrounding this Sunday’s Bears-Jets game, Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America are cautiously pleased to see registered Republicans showing up to vote early in bigger numbers than Democrats in several key states.  They also shake their heads as Democrats duck and dodge questions about how they would handle the thousands of people heading to our southern border and demanding to enter instead of going through legal channels.  And they shudder as more details emerge in the murder and disposal of Jamal Khashoggi by Saudi elements in Turkey.

Hoping to Keep the House, Bleak Prospects in Governors’ Races, Village Idiots for Beto

33
Hosted by Greg Corombos & Jim Geraghty

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America are glad to see multiple non-partisan experts insist the Republicans still have a shot at keep a majority in the House of Representatives, although the odds are not in their favor.  They also shudder as Democrats look to be in strong position to win governors’ races in many key states.  They cringe as Beto O’Rourke supporters rewrite the disco hit “YMCA” in support of the Texas Democrat.  And Jim and Greg do their best to carry on professionally leading up to this week’s Bears-Jets game, even as special interest attack ads try to whip animosity between them.
