Negations around the war in Ukraine teeter on a perilous edge after a disastrous performance by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the White House last week. Zelenskyy's brash tone and entitled expectation led to a breakdown in communication with Donald Trump and JD Vance. American news media reacted with their usual unhinged hyperbole, and foreign leaders like U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer pushed for World War III by increasing their commitment to the proxy war with Russia. Mark Hemingway, senior writer at RealClear Investigations, joins me to discuss.

Mark Hemingway of RealClear Investigations Mark Hemingway's Columns at RealClear Investigations The post The 2024 U.S. Elections – Mark Hemingway, 11/4/24 (3093) first appeared on Issues, Etc..

Andrew, Tom, and Carl discuss new polls and whether Democrats are worried that the momentum may be turning against Harris in the final days of the presidential race. They also talk about Harris' appearance on NBC News last night and look forward to tonight's CNN Town Hall. Plus, a discussion of Jeffrey Goldberg's piece in the Atlantic on Donald Trump's alleged disdain for the military. Next, Andrew Walworth talks to Mike Leon about tonight's televised debate featuring third-party presidential candidates including Jill Stein (Green Party), Chase Oliver (Libertarian Party), and Randall Terry (Constitution Party.) And winding it up, Carl Cannon talks to RealClear Investigations writer Mark Hemingway about how well-financed progressive foundations are providing support for financially distressed local news organizations, and whether that will further erode public confidence in the media.

Andrew, Tom, and Carl discuss new polling out of Georgia that shows Trump with a slight lead in the battleground state and the path to victory in the electoral college for both candidates. They also talk about the decision by CBS to not release the transcript of the 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris and the new opinion research on Arab American voters. Next, Tom Bevan talks to senior elections analyst Sean Trende about Liz Cheney, the gender gap, and both parties' ground game. Then finally, Carl Cannon talks to RealClear Investigations writer James Varney about new EPA programs funneling huge grants to untested nonprofits.

The FBI quietly revised the U.S. crime statistics to show an increase in violent crime. An investigation by RealClearInvestigations found that the FBI updated its 2022 crime statistics in September, showing that rather than a 2.1% drop in violent crime as originally reported, the United States actually experienced a 4.5% rise in violent crime. The new dataset showed thousands more murders, rapes, robberies, and aggravated assaults. The more than 6 percentage point change is unprecedented in recent FBI statistic reporting, William & Mary professor Carl Moody told the outlet. “I have checked the data on total violent crime from 2004 to 2022,” he said. “There were no revisions from 2004 to 2015, and from 2016 to 2020, there were small changes of less than one percentage point. The huge changes in 2021 and 2022, especially without an explanation, make it difficult to trust the FBI data.”

We need to talk about why the FBI and the rest of the government started sharing the phrase “disinformation” and pushing that. One of the lies they have pushed is that we can trust our medical system. We'll take a look at a story of a man who woke up while doctors were harvesting his organs.  Plus, Kamala Harris says Jesus Christ name is not welcome at her rallies, which would mean He Himself is not welcome.What does God's Word say? Matthew 10:32:33-3932 “Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. 33 But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my Father in heaven.34 “Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to turn“‘a man against his father,    a daughter against her mother,a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law—36  a man's enemies will be the members of his own household.'37 “Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 38 Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me. 39 Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it.Episode Links:FBI Stealth Edits Crime Stats, Shows Violent Crime Went Up in 2022; RealClear Investigations discovered the stealth edit: “violent crime increased in 2022 by 4.5%.”Donald Trump brutally rebukes ABC Moderator's crime data 'fact-checking Five of President Trump's jokes at the Al Smith dinnerA man declared brain dead wakes up during organ donor surgeryMan comes 'back to life' as surgeons began the process of harvesting his body parts after they determined he was deadKamala pretends checking voter ID won't work because poor people don't have Xerox machines Kamala Harris acting in an anti-Catholic skit is JUST as believable as Kamala Harris doing ANYTHINGAlan's Soaps https://www.alansartisansoaps.comUse coupon code ‘TODD' to save an additional 10% off the bundle price.Bioptimizers https://bioptimizers.com/toddStart your journey to better health with MassZymes.

Andrew, Tom, and Carl look forward to tomorrow's vice-presidential debate and discuss new swing state polls that show the Pennsylvania Senate race tightening up. They also talk about President Biden's handling of Hurricane Helene and the 50th anniversary of Saturday Night Live this past weekend which began with a cold open lampooning presidential rallies featuring Maya Rudolph, Jim Gaffigan and Dana Carvey. Next, Carl Cannon talks to J. Peder Zane of RealClear Investigations about how public schools are embracing business principles to measure performance with surprising results.

Andrew, Tom, and Carl discuss tomorrow's long-awaited television interview with Kamala Harris and Tim Walz on CNN and new polls that show Republican Larry Hogan tied with Democrat Angela Alsobrooks in the Maryland senate race. They also talk about Jack Smith's revised indictment of Donald Trump and the controversy over Trump's appearance at the memorial service of 13 US service members killed by a suicide bomber at the Kabul Airport during the US withdrawal from Afghanistan. Then, Andrew Walworth interviews presidential historian Tevi Troy about his new book, “The Power and the Money,” about the changing relationship between leading CEOs and American Presidents. And finally, Carl Cannon talks to RCP contributor James Varney about his recent RealClear Investigations series on the billions of dollars paid out to victims of sex abuse by public school districts across the country.

Dom welcomes in Ben Weingarten, Editor at Large of RealClearInvestigations, who penned a piece for the New York Post calling out the danger of comments made yesterday by Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson in the landmark Murthy v. Missouri case. In discussion, Brown Jackson pushed back against Justice Samuel Alito's concerns about governmental overreach, noting that her ‘biggest concern is that [his] view has the First Amendment hamstringing the government in certain ways.' This, as Weingarten and Giordano note, is the entire point of the constitution, with Weingarten explaining how her viewpoint could be a preview of a future where we surrender our first amendment rights.

You know all those people rampaging through our major cities shouting genocidal slogans against Jews and Israel? Well, our guest today warns us that people with that mindset sit atop the highest levels of the Biden administration. We're joined today by Ben Weingarten, editor of RealClearInvestigations, who briefs us on how top DOD and CIA officials are literally part of Iranian spy networks and have ties to the PLO and Hamas. This is why the administration is unnaturally obsessed with Gaza and is allowing Iranian proxies to attack our ships in the Red Sea. But where are Republicans? I discuss the paralysis of initiative and how even when Republicans are on the right side of an issue, as is the case with Iran and Israel, they are completely ineffective in exposing and checking the treasonous behavior of the Biden administration.  Learn more about your ad choices.
