Former Chief Assistant U.S. Attorney and National Review Contributing Editor Andy McCarthy is in for Jim. Join Andy and Greg as they discuss Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley sounding the alarm as both parties seem ready to pass a bill that would subject women to military drafts, the increasingly worrisome alliance between Russia and North Korea, and Press Sec. Karine Jean-Pierre's almighty struggle to explain away President Biden's gaffes.
First, they delve into Sen. Hawley excoriating a bipartisan bill that has passed the House of Representatives that would require women to register for Selective Service. They agree with Hawley's criticism of the bill and that our daughters should not be forced into combat. However, Andy unloads on Hawley for suggesting Republicans are backing the idea so they have enough people to fight "endless wars."
Next, they explore the implications of the recent pledge between Russia and North Korea to defend one another if either is attacked. Andy thinks that pledges between such unreliable actors are flimsy at best, but that does not negate the potential evils that may come of this agreement.
Finally, they roll their eyes at White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre's lackluster excuses for former President Obama having to guide President Biden offstage at a campaign event. Andy observes that events like these can be given the benefit of the doubt if they are one-time occurrences, but Biden's gaffes happen too often to be written off.
As a bonus, Andy weighs in on his expectations for upcoming Supreme Court decisions.
