CPI and Biden, Niger lost, Costello unloads, Merchan protecta, Cohen yells corrupt and UC Irvine professor meltdown

On today’s show, we open with something to help more easily recognize how bad inflation still is for the average American. We look at the typical food prices from 2020 versus 2024. Most are paying around 46% more for food than they were four years ago. Yet, Joe Biden has twice lied about the inflation rate being at 9% when he took office. WH Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre tried to explain it away, but the internet has a long memory.

Seems the reason we lost Niger is due to Biden’s Assistant Secretary for African Affairs, Molly Phee. The Nigerian Prime Minister said she threatened them and to say who they can have relationships with as a nation. He said she did that with a condescending tone and a lack of respect. Let’s hear it for the Biden Touch! We now have Afghanistan 2.0.

We then spend a good amount of time with a Congressional hearing into collusion between the DOJ, the White House and the Alvin Bragg case. One of the key witnesses was Michael Cohen’s former lawyer, Bob Costello. From Lawfare, to weaponizing the DOJ, to colluding, Costello’s testimony is both riveting and disheartening. We hear from Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) and Rep. Harriett Hagemon (R-WO).

While we are breaking that down, the cross of Michael Cohen resumed today and we got word that Judge Merchan is doing all he can to block the defense and aid the flailing prosecution. But, as CNN had to admit, things are not looking good for the Bragg prosecution. Apparently, Cohen went on an unhinged rant, calling the judge corrupt, the proceedings corrupt and, in fact, that he was the only there who wasn’t politically motivated.

Finally, on the topic of unhinged rants, we got to a professor from UC Irvine in California who was being led away from a protest. Just like other Ivory Tower campus elites, her pro-Hamas, pro-terrorist, anti-Semitic behavior finally got her arrested. But, it’s her shrill screaming that tells you all you need to know about how far academic institutions have fallen.
