Ep. 43: One Week from Midterms, Jewish Synagogue Shooting, International Populism in Brazil and Germany

We are just a week from the upcoming midterm and Republicans are hoping to ride their momentum over the remaining seven days. We break down the past weekend’s news, including the horrific shooting at the Pittsburgh synagogue that claimed the lives of eleven worshippers and how that might impact the elections with the media coverage. International populism is still on the rise and two pivotal events in Germany and Brazil showcase the strength of the nationalist movement. Also, the Red Sox are World Champions! All that and more in our Halloween edition of ROP!

Also, we discuss the hysteria surrounding the media’s response to the President labeling himself a “nationalist” at Ted Cruz’ campaign rally. We also detail the mysterious packages that have been received by top Democrat lawmakers, and theorize what this means — especially on the brink of a major national election. Finally, we have our second #TrumpTweetThursday and prepare for our upcoming interview with the Mooch! More at patreon.com/right on point and rightonpointpodcast.com.

In today’s episode, we recap another busy week that began with Nikki Haley’s unexpected announcement that she will be leaving the administration by the end of the year. Does she have any future political ambitions in store? We also discuss Hillary Clinton’s noxious remarks that feed into a culture on the Left that licenses radicalism and increasingly violent behavior. We end with a close analysis of Pope Francis’ ongoing synod and how it might impact official Church teachings following the summer of scandal. More at rightonpointpodcast.com.

Ep. 37: On the Frontlines of Brett Kavanaugh’s Confirmation

This week, your ROP correspondents journeyed down to Washington where we entered the heart of the madness of the Brett Kavanaugh confirmations. We took the time to interview several protestors and supporters outside the Supreme Court and Capitol, asking why they decided to come out and demonstrate and what they thought of the whole process. We’ll leave it up to our listeners to make a final verdict on our performance!

Today we recap the soundbites from Washington, including the all-too-familiar obstruction campaign put forth by Senate Democrats including Chuck Schumer and Mazie Hirono. We also discuss Cory Booker’s dismissal of the presumption of innocence, as he called to reject Kavanaugh regardless of whether he is innocent. Lastly, we listen to highlights of President Trump’s week, including his recent rallies and the historic new USMCA trade agreement.
