Top Terrorists Taken Out, Arizona Republicans Love Losing, Kamala's Border Gaslighting Jul 31, 2024

Show notes

Today, Jim and Greg discuss the deaths of leaders of both Hamas and Hezbollah, Kari Lake winning the Arizona GOP Senate primary, and dueling attack ads on the border put out by the Harris and Trump campaigns.
First, they celebrate the air strikes that killed Ismail Haniyeh, political leader of Hamas, and Fu’ad Shukr, a top military leader of Hezbollah, both men responsible for brutal attacks that took droves of innocent lives. Jim observes the aura of mystery around Haniyeh's death, as Israel claimed responsibility for Shukr's death, but not his.
Next, they sigh as Arizona Republicans hand the U.S. Senate primary victory to Kari Lake. Jim emphasizes her unpopularity, her loss of what should have been an easily winnable governor's election, and her flip-flopping on key issues. He also thinks that any other candidate would have been preferable.
Finally, they compare dueling attack ads put out by the Harris and Trump campaigns, with VP Kamala Harris's campaign attempting to gaslight Americans on her immigration record and claim that Donald Trump is soft on immigration. Jim cannot fathom how her campaign team thought that this sort of gaslighting was the way to go.

Kamala's Major Flip-Flops, Biden's Venezuela Failures, Biden's Radical SCOTUS 'Reforms' Jul 30, 2024

Show notes

Today, Jim and Greg discuss VP Kamala Harris's reversals on several positions she ran on in 2020, the weak U.S. response to election fraud in Venezuela, and Biden's unconscionable positions on the Supreme Court.
First, they get whiplash from Kamala's sudden switch on fracking, assault rifle bans, a single payer healthcare system, and more. Jim is encouraged that she is forced to recognize that the Overton Window has shifted right, but he'd like to see her do an interview and explain her position changes on these issues.
Next, they spotlight some international reactions to Venezuelan President Maduro's fraudulent election, including a lot of crickets from the Biden administration. Jim agrees with Florida Sen. Marco Rubio's take that President Biden made a terrible deal with Maduro and Biden cannot criticize what is happening in Venezuela without looking very foolish.
Finally, they roll their eyes at Biden's insane new proposal for reforming the Supreme Court so that he can manipulate it, including setting term limits. Jim points out that this is the most radical attempt to control the Supreme Court that we have ever seen from a U.S. president.

Kamalamania Refuted: Workplace Chaos, Problematic Positions, Seen As A Drag to Biden Jul 29, 2024

Show notes

Today, Jim and Greg discuss the long shadow behind the recent wave of Kamalamania, from reports that Vice President Kamala Harris treats her staffers terribly, to some highly questionable stances she has taken on immigration and radical Islamic terrorism, to many seeing her as a drag on Biden just a few months ago.
First, they dive into the numerous reports of her troubled vice presidency, featuring an astronomical turnover rate for staffers and a disinterest in being briefed that leads to foolish-looking public appearances. Jim is especially troubled by her disinterest in being briefed, forecasting a fraught presidency if she is elected and keeps this up.
Next, they revisit some of her dubious statements on "radical Islamic terrorism" and "illegal aliens," claiming that these terms are harmful and should be rejected, even going so far as to say that being an illegal alien is not a crime. Jim is baffled as to how someone in law enforcement could claim that illegal immigration is not a crime.
Finally, they point to statements from Democrats and media columnists just a few months ago which called for Kamala to be removed from Biden's ticket to help his odds. Jim acknowledges that the rebranding of Kamala now speaks to how enthusiastic Democrats are to have a candidate that they can be excited about as opposed to Biden.

Voters See the Biden Cover-Up, Trump Wavers on Debate, Obama Caves on Kamala Jul 26, 2024

Show notes

Today, Jim and Greg discuss polls emerging that show Americans believe Vice President Harris helped to cover up President Biden's decline, Donald Trump not committing to debate Harris yet, and the reluctant endorsement that the Obamas finally gave Kamala.
First, they raise a double-fisted good martini to polls that confirm a broad acknowledgement of the cover-up of Biden's declining health, with many Americans believing Kamala had a role to play in concealing his true condition. They also observe how she is slowly coming more and more into the spotlight, taking on duties and making appearances that one would expect of the president. And they applaud the Free Beacon's Matthew Continetti for pointing out the media whiplash on how it characterizes Biden.
Next, they comment on Trump's statement that he won't commit to debate Kamala until it has been confirmed that she will be the nominee. Jim thinks that this is not the right move, saying Trump should be pushing for as many debates as possible.
Finally, they cringe through a video of the Obamas endorsing Kamala over the phone, which was released in the middle of the night. Jim and Greg also break down the Democratic veepstakes.

Biden's Bizarre Speech, Bibi vs. Pro-Hamas Protests, Media's Bogus 'Border Czar' Spin Jul 25, 2024

Show notes

Today, Jim and Greg discuss President Biden's address to the nation last night, Prime Minister Netanyahu's remarks to Congress, and the media trying to cover up the fact that Kamala was tasked with stopping the tide of humanity illegally crossing our border - and failed.
First, they go over some highlights from Biden's address, which gave us no clarifying information about why he decided not to run again. They also roll their eyes at his final attempts to gaslight the American people about the merits of his presidency and his ugly insinuation that the fate of our republic depends upon Kamala Harris winning in November.
Next, they dive into the good and bad parts of the news surrounding Netanyahu's visit to Washington, the good being the content of his speech and the bad being the insanity of anti-Israel and pro-Hamas protesters. They also take a moment to appreciate Vice President Harris's denouncement of the protests.
Finally, they chuckle at some hilarious flailing from the media as they attempt to cover up Kamala's responsibility for the border, even though they were all calling her "border czar" not long ago. Jim takes them to task for this, and points out that the best strategy for Kamala would be owning up to the title while throwing the rest of Biden's administration under the bus.

Kamala's Radical Record, DOJ's Curious Timing, Secret Service & Trump Rallies Jul 24, 2024

Show notes

Today, Jim and Greg discuss the best strategies for conservatives to attack the Harris campaign, the DOJ finally forking over transcripts from the Bide classified documents probe, and the latest Secret Service embarrassment.
First, they praise Pennsylvania U.S Senate hopeful David McCormick's attack ad that ties his opponent, incumbent Democrat Bob Casey, to Kamala Harris and her radical positions on energy, immigration, health insurance, and much more. Jim analyzes the pros and cons that the Harris campaign has to work with, and formulates a plan of attack for conservatives.
Next, they sigh at the Justice Department suddenly releasing transcripts from President Biden's interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur after Biden has stepped down from the presidential race. Jim mocks them for their reasoning behind noncompliance with FOIA requests before Biden dropped out.
Finally, they react to the news that the U.S. Secret Service is requesting that Donald Trump not hold outdoor rallies anymore because of the danger they pose. Jim suggests Trump probably ought to agree just to be on the safe side. But he is far more disheartened that the Secret Service is admitting that it is not competent enough to keep Trump safe at such rallies.

Cheatle Resigns, Kamala Uncontested, Dems Ghost Netanyahu Jul 23, 2024

Show notes

Today, Jim and Greg discuss Kim Cheatle's resignation as director of U.S. Secret Service, the swift ascendance of Kamala Harris as the Democrats' nominee, and Biden & Harris can't be bothered to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on his visit to the U.S.
First, they toast a good martini to Cheatle's resignation after a disastrous performance before the House Oversight and Accountability Committee. Jim sees some clear parallels between her resignation and President Biden stepping down from his campaign.
Next, they observe how Vice President Harris successfully cleared the field to be the next presidential nominee, securing the endorsement of top Democrats and a majority of DNC delegates. Greg points out the irony in how quickly the party of "defending democracy" was to shut down any chance of a robust primary.
Finally, they talk about Prime Minister Netanyahu's visit to the United State and how neither Biden nor Harris seem to have any time for him. Jim points out the impropriety of this and says it only adds to questions about who is running the country right now.

Dems Force Biden to Abandon Re-Election Bid & Kamala Tries to Clear the Field Jul 22, 2024

Show notes

Today, Jim and Greg discuss President Biden bowing out of the presidential race, his endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris, and Republican reactions to the news.
First, they dive into the biggest news of the weekend: Biden is dropping out of the 2024 presidential race. Jim raises his eyebrows at the troubling fact that Biden has not made any public appearances since the news came out, and wonders what kind of state the president is in. They also explain how Biden's decline was obvious for a long time, and Democrats only dumped him because they were finally convinced he would lose.
Next, they mull over the political future of Vice President Harris, whom Biden and many other prominent Democrats have now endorsed, with a few notable holdouts. Jim thinks that her future is much more secure as a running mate, and that if she loses, her political career is as good as over.
Finally, they go over the multitude of responses to the news from Republicans, from jabs that Kamala will be easier to beat to calls for Biden to step down immediately. Jim emphasizes the need for Biden to resign, and cautions against assuming Kamala will be easy to beat.

Trump's Two Speeches, Biden Exit or Dem Wishcasting? Dems Doubt Trump Shooting Jul 19, 2024

Show notes

Today, Jim and Greg discuss the two speeches within Donald Trump's RNC address, reports that President Joe Biden plans to continue with his campaign while other Democrats plant stories that he is quitting, and the shocking number of Democrats buying into conspiracy theories about the attempted assassination of Trump.
First, they analyze the very different parts of Trump's speech last night. They agree that the beginning of the speech, discussing the assassination attempt and honoring Corey Comperatore, was the strongest part. They also suggest that the rally-style improvisation made the speech too long. And while it probably didn't cost him any votes, a tighter speech may have appealed to more people. They agree that it seemed to be a successful convention and that every Gen X kid loved Hulk Hogan's appearance.
Next, they compare conflicting reports about the likelihood that Biden will discontinue his re-election campaign, with sources close to the president reporting that they are "furious" about the pressure campaign that has been launched against him. Jim thinks that the liberal media is essentially dreamcasting, and that Biden will not step down if those closest to him want him to stay in office.
Finally, they raise their eyebrows at the startling one-third of Democrats who believe that the attempted assassination of Trump was a hoax. Jim observes that you have to have an animal hatred of Trump for your first instinct at the shooting to be contemptuous disbelief.

The JD Vance Speech, Biden Campaign Circles the Drain, MSNBC 'Huffing the Copium' Jul 18, 2024

Show notes

Inez Stepman of the Independent Women's Forum and host of the "High Noon" podcast is in for Jim. Today, Inez and Greg discuss J. D. Vance's RNC speech last night, the latest from a steadily collapsing Biden campaign, and Joy Reid's latest unhinged take on Donald Trump and President Biden.
First, they highlight the most salient points from Vance's speech. While Jim explained in the Morning Jolt why he did not like the speech because of how it represents an unfortunate shift in the Republican party and Greg has been bothered by heavy union embrace at the RNC, Inez contends that we are living in different times, and Vance's vision is a necessary one for the country's future.
Next, they pull out the popcorn as high profile Democrats like Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer shove Biden harder towards ending his re-election bid. His recent gaffes, forgetting the names of President Herbert Hoover and his own Defense Secretary, Lloyd Austin, as well as his recent contraction of Covid-19, are certainly not helping his case.
Finally, they rip Joy Reid's attempt to compare Joe Biden's (hopeful) recovery from Covid to Trump recovering from getting shot. Inez quips that Democrats are just "huffing copium" at this point, because Trump obviously has all the luck on his side and has a knack for making the most of key moments.
