Podcast appearances and mentions of jim carafano

Marc & Kim welcome Jim Carafano from Heritage to break down the latest in Ukraine, including Zelensky's accusations about China arming Russia and the broader geopolitical chess match between Putin, Trump, and Congress. Carafano outlines three likely outcomes for the conflict and explains why Trump's “pedal to the metal” approach could prevail. Plus, a surprise gym encounter with RFK Jr. gets a few laughs, and Carafano critiques the Democrats' obsession with Trump, even as they try to intervene in El Salvador's legal matters. El Salvador's President Bukele, likened to Orban, is siding with the U.S. long-term, but he won't be handing over a deported criminal just to please D.C. Democrats.

Marc & Kim unpack the stunning case of Massachusetts parents losing custody of their baby after refusing vaccines—despite having a religious exemption—and the high-stakes interstate arrest that followed. Jim Carafano joins to dissect Zelensky's claim that China is arming Russia, the U.S. role in the Ukraine war, and why Trump's hardline stance might win out. He also mocks Dems for fixating on Trump while bungling international diplomacy. Rep. Eric Burlison takes the mic for Capital Beat, torching the Fed's interest rate politics, Biden's tax hikes, and woke policies, while calling out the left's defense of an MS-13 thug in El Salvador.

They roast space tourists, discuss vaccine custody battles, and talk Ukraine and El Salvador with Jim Carafano. Rep. Eric Burlison delivers blunt Capitol Hill insights, and Jonathan Serrie breaks down the alarming CT scan study. The real headline: longtime producer Carl Middleman says goodbye after decades in radio.

Carafano blasts the asylum loopholes and the political cowardice that keeps violent criminals on U.S. soil. They also tackle Biden's trade standoff with China, praising Trump's strategy of forcing nations to choose between U.S. deals or economic pain.
