BREAKING NEWS

Written by Halli Casser-Jayne on . Posted in HC-J Blog

Breaking news from The Halli Casser-Jayne Show with Matthew Cooper! But you’ll have to stick around for the hour to hear what it is. We promise not to bore you. Boy oh boy, it’s been quite a week in politics and politics is what we talk about on The Halli Casser-Jayne Podcast when Halli and her partner in politics, former White House correspondent and Newsweek and Time alum, Matthew Cooper slice and dice all things politics, and our lawmakers too.

The Kyle Rittenhouse verdict ricocheted across our politics this week. Was it a vote for vigilantism? And what of Fox News and Tucker Carlson? Has Fox officially declared itself pro-vigilantism? We take a deep dive into Mr. Carlson’s shenanigans and Fox News. Speaker Nancy Pelosi once again came through for the Democrats, passing the Build Back Better legislation through the House. It goes to the Senate? Will Joe Manchin let it leave? Is President Joe Biden getting enough credit for his accomplishments? Covid19 is again raging across Europe and lockdown fury has become a thang overseas. But Angela Merkle, not one to ring alarm bells, is warning Germany that it has never seen anything like what is happening now. Inflation, inflation, inflation. Did a colonoscopy bring us, however briefly, our first woman POTUS? Who is the most influential politician of 2021: Joe Biden, Donald Trump, or Joe Manchin?

Breaking news from The Halli Casser-Jayne Show. Build Back Better, Kyle Rittenhouse, Tucker Carlson and Fox News, Covid19, inflation…inflation…inflation. There is a lot to get to. Have a listen to what Halli and Matt have to say on this week’s episode of The Halli Casser-Jayne Podcast with Matthew Cooper. It’s politics at its best. We cover it all.

YOU WIN SOME AND YOU LOSE SOME

Written by Halli Casser-Jayne on . Posted in HC-J Blog

You win some and you lose some and that’s what happened in the off-year election, the Democrats losing the Virginia governorship but holding onto New Jersey. And then the spin began and that’s where we begin our conversation this week on The Halli Casser-Jayne Podcast when Halli and her partner in politics, former White House correspondent and Newsweek and Time alum, Matthew Cooper sit down to discuss the latest political news.

You win some and you lose some. Question: Who is the better spinner, Democrats or Republicans? Is the glass half-empty or half-full? Republican Glenn Youngkin defeated former Democratic Governor McAuliff, but history shows that the party in power in Washington almost always loses Virginia off-year elections. It’s been 40 years since a Democrat one two consecutive terms in New Jersey. Governor Phil Murphy did. But on the theme of good news and bad news, the Covid-19 vaccination for children has been approved, but despite a growing vaccination rate in the U.S. and abroad, Covid-19 is on the rise in Europe. The House is expected to finally pass the Infrastructure Bill and the Build Back Better Plan. That’s good news. The bad news: They didn’t pass either prior to the election. There’s more news on Donald Trump, on voting rights legislation, climate change, the Steele Dossier, the January 6 Committee and much more.

You win some and you lose some. Will the Democrats be able to win the vote of West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin on the Build Back Better Plan? Will NYSD lose in its efforts to indict former President Trump? Jobs, jobs, jobs! There is a lot more in political news. Have a listen to what Halli and Matt have to say on this week’s episode of The Halli Casser-Jayne Podcast with Matthew Cooper. It’s politics at its best. We cover it all.

DEMS: QUIT WHINING & POP THAT CORK!

Written by Halli Casser-Jayne on . Posted in HC-J Blog

Democrats: Quit your damn whining and pop that cork. It ain’t perfect, but it appears that President Joe Biden is about to snatch an important victory from the jaws of defeat and his Build Back Better Plan will soon become one of the most important pieces of legislation passed by a President of the United States. Is it what everyone wanted? No, but there’s enough in Build Back Better for every Democrat to claim victory and that’s where we begin our conversation this week on The Halli Casser-Jayne Podcast when Halli and her partner in politics, former White House correspondent and Newsweek and Time alum, Matthew Cooper sit down to discuss the latest political news.

It’s been a long slog. And, it isn’t exactly over. But it’s a pretty certain bet that Build Back Better is about to be passed, despite the team of S & M, Senators Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin’s efforts to put the kibosh on the legislation every step along the way. There’s more in political news. Where oh where is Steve Bannon and why is the January 6 Committee still talking about what they will do, but don’t  do? Halli wonders if the Committee is afraid of the answers they will surely find. Wait until you hear what Matt has to say when Halli asks him what should happen to former President Trump if the committee can prove he attempted a coup. There’s Covid19 news to discuss. Tucker Carlson is a topic. Can former Virginia Governor Terry McAuliff pull off the win? Alec Baldwin, Ron DeSantis, the relationship between Vice President Harris and POTUS are part of the discussion, the economy and oh, so much more.

Have a listen to what Halli and Matt have to say on this week’s episode of The Halli Casser-Jayne Podcast with Matthew Cooper. It’s politics at its best; truly, we cover it all.

POLITICS, IT’S ALWAYS DARKEST BEFORE THE DAWN

Written by Halli Casser-Jayne on . Posted in HC-J Blog

It’s always darkest before the dawn, and that’s true in politics and that’s where we begin our conversation this week on The Halli Casser-Jayne Podcast when Halli and her partner in politics, former White House correspondent and Newsweek and Time alum, Matthew Cooper sit down to discuss the latest political news.

Democrats are fighting with Democrats, Republicans are fighting with Democrats, Build Back Better, infrastructure, reconciliation — getting Joe Biden’s legislation passed has turned into a dog fight. That dynamic S & M duo, Senator Manchin of West Virginia and Senator Sinema of Arizona are torturing us to the end. Until the deal is signed, sealed and delivered President Joe Biden, the Democratic Party and the citizens of the United States remain at their mercy. Nine Republicans joined with the Democrats and voted to hold the defiant Steve Bannon in contempt when he refused to honor the subpoena to appear before the Jan 6th Committee, but who knows where that will lead. Winter starts moving in and Covid19 cases rise. Anti-Semitic tropes enter the contentious Virginia race for governor. Biden’s poll numbers reflect his frustrated base who want his legislation passed now! Listen to what Halli and Matt have to say on this week’s episode of The Halli Casser-Jayne Podcast with Matthew Cooper.  

It’s always darkest before the dawn. Infrastructure, Build Back Better, Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Joe Manchin, Kyrsten Sinema, Covid-19, Donald Trump, Steve Bannon, the January 6th Commission, the Alec Baldwin shooting and gun control. It’s politics at its best; truly, we cover it all.

LIMBO IS A PLACE IN POLITICAL HELL

Written by Halli Casser-Jayne on . Posted in HC-J Blog

Limbo is a place in political hell and that’s just where we begin this week on The Halli Casser-Jayne Podcast when Halli and her partner in politics, former White House correspondent and Newsweek and Time alum, Matthew Cooper sit down to discuss the latest political news.

Build Back Better, infrastructure, reconciliation, waiting…waiting…waiting. Waiting is torture, and waiting we are to see just how that dynamic S & M duo, Senator Manchin of West Virginia and Senator Sinema of Arizona will actually vote. Waiting to see what the Jan. 6th Committee does when Republicans defy their subpoenas. Waiting to see if Covid19 is really on the retreat. Waiting, waiting, waiting…and that’s not a good place for the Democrats to be. Will getting their agenda passed, far less than what they initially promised, fix the frustration? And as their agenda remains in limbo, what of the Republicans who never missed an opportunity to grab the headlines and push their message while the Democrats clutch pearls. No, limbo is not a good place for Democrats to be.  Tune in. We’re always lively and honest on The Halli Casser-Jayne Podcast with Matthew Cooper.  

Infrastructure, abortion rights, Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Covid-19, the Supreme Court, Donald Trump, the January 6th Committee. It’s politics at its best. Truly, we cover it all.

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY OF MISHIGAS

Written by Halli Casser-Jayne on . Posted in HC-J Blog

Bring out the bagels and lox. Settle in. We’ve got a lot to get to. Oy, that Democratic Party and all its mishigas. What a week of drama they brought us all, including that S & M duo and all their torturing: Senators Joe Manchin and Kysteren Sinema. There will be a vote and there won’t — hostage taking at its best, and that’s just where we  begin this week on The Halli Casser-Jayne Podcast when joining Halli at her table to discuss the latest political news is her partner in politics former White House correspondent and Newsweek and Time alum, Matthew Cooper.

Definition of the Yiddish word mishigas: craziness; silliness; tomfoolery; nonsense. We surely did get a lot of that from the Democratic Party this week and a lesson in the art of war as the two factions of the party, the liberals and the moderates went at each other, more like a clown fight than two gladiators after each other in a coliseum. Caught in the middle, as usual, are We the People. We ought to worry when the Democrats control the House, the Senate and the Executive Branch of government and they can’t bring home the much-needed infrastructure package and the social programs most Americans have been waiting for for far too long. Is all lost? Probably not. But have the Democrats given the Republicans who know how to turn fodder into gold bullions on a platter their ammunition? Tune in. We’re always lively and honest on The Halli Casser-Jayne Podcast with Matthew Cooper.  

Infrastructure, abortion rights, Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Covid-19, the Supreme Court, Donald Trump, Rudy Giuliani, the January 6th Commission. It’s politics at its best. Truly, we cover it all.

IT’S MOURNING AGAIN IN AMERICA

Written by Halli Casser-Jayne on . Posted in HC-J Blog

It’s mourning again in America as the Covid-19 Pandemic takes it’s toll on America and refrigeration trucks are deployed all across the country as people die unnecessarily from the virus and morgues are overwhelmed. Welcome to the effects of Republican madness and The Halli Casser-Jayne Show and that’s just where we begin this week when joining Halli at her table to discuss the latest political news is her partner in politics former White House correspondent and Newsweek and Time alum, Matthew Cooper.

IT'S MOURNING AGAIN IN AMERICA

We mourn. We mourn those who have lost their lives to Covid-19 unnecessarily when a simple jab in the arm might have saved their lives. We mourn the loss of Texas women’s right to choose what happens to their bodies as the Supreme Court eviscerates by a shadow vote in the dark of night Roe v. Wade. We mourn for the lives lost twenty years ago, the 2,750 people who were killed in New York, 184 at the Pentagon, and 40 in Pennsylvania when America was attacked by terrorists. But we also celebrate. There is a vaccine to thwart a ruthless virus. American women are strong and will stand up and fight for their rights, and there are a lot of men who will stand up with them. The terrorists hit us hard, but we fought back and though America has lots of demons to fight right here at home, we are still here.

It’s mourning again in America. But we will survive Covid-19, reckless, cynical governors like Ron DeSantis and Gregg Abbott, a Supreme Court that has turned itself into a lowly Night Court.

DOG DAYS OF RON DESANTIS

Written by Halli Casser-Jayne on . Posted in HC-J Blog

It’s August, and the dog days of Ron DeSantis are upon us. While the Governor of Florida mandates no mask mandates, Florida hospitals crumble under the weight of Covid-19 cases. Schools open and parents anguish, send their kids to public schools or not, a Sophie’s Choice question forced on moms and dads statewide due to the Florida governor’s malfeasance. Welcome to Republican madness and The Halli Casser-Jayne Show and that’s just where we begin this week when joining Halli at her table to discuss the latest political news is her partner in politics former White House correspondent and Newsweek and Time alum, Matthew Cooper.

Yes, it’s August and the dog days of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis are upon us. Remember, what happens in Florida does not stay in Florida. Holding fast to the governor’s mandate of a no mask mandate despite the objections of health officials nationwide, Florida Covid-19 cases surge to their highest levels since the pandemic began, the Delta variant more virulent than earlier strains of the virus. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) nearly twenty-five thousand new cases were reported in one day in Florida, some 15,449 residents hospitalized with only 230 of 261 hospitals reporting their COVID patients and nearly 90 percent of the state’s intensive care unit beds filled. Over 600 Floridians died this week, the total Florida Covid-19 deaths now over 40,000, a catastrophe of one man’s bad judgment, Governor Ron DeSantis. Will he reverse course? Halli and Matt ponder that question and slice and dice the other political news of the week, and there is much. Tune in.

The dog days of Ron DeSantis, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo resigns, the bipartisan passage of Joe Biden’s Infrastructure bill, Matt Gaetz, the Afghanistan tragedy, Rand Paul as squirrel, inflation, and for comic relief a little bit on Rudy Giuliani. But that’s just where we begin.

SECRETS AND LIES REPUBLICAN STYLE

Written by Halli Casser-Jayne on . Posted in HC-J Blog

Special Report: Ukraine at War

We’re only as sick as our darkest secrets and our lies takes on a whole new meaning this week on The Halli Casser-Jayne Show Podcast when joining me at my table to discuss the latest political news is my partner in politics former White House correspondent and Newsweek and Time alum, Matthew Cooper, and in our second half-hour Pulitzer Prize winning author of the extraordinary book WILMINGTON’S LIE, THE MURDEROUS COUP OF 1898 AND THE RISE OF WHITE SUPREMACY, David Zucchino.

Trump, Fox News hosts, the entire Republican Party have been lying to their supporters about Covid-19 and the safety and efficacy of the Covid-19 vaccine. But now the chickens, as they say, have come home to roost. Thanks to reluctant MAGAs, a virus that could be easily eradicated thanks to the vaccine is infecting the unvaccinated with a vengeance and those who took the vaccine are finding themselves at greater risk due to the recalcitrant Republicans and the new Covid variant. It’s nonsensical. Why are Republican leaders and Fox News hosts lying to their own, when they themselves are vaccinated?  Tune in to hear Halli go off on that subject and more, including the first January 6 Select Committee hearing, where more Republican secrets and lies are being uncovered.

In our second half-hour Halli introduces you to Pulitzer Prize winning, North Carolina author DAVID ZUCCHINO. A contributing writer for the New York Times, Zucchino has covered wars and civil conflicts in more than three dozen countries and is a four-time Pulitzer Prize finalist for his reporting in Iraq, Lebanon, Africa, and inner-city Philadelphia. And now he has won yet another coveted Pulitzer for his extraordinary non-fiction national bestselling book WILMINGTON’S LIE, THE MURDEROUS COUP OF 1898 AND THE RISE OF WHITE SUPREMACY, a gripping account of one of the most disturbing, though virtually unknown, political events in American history. David writes brilliantly, he is an even better talker. This is an interview you don’t want to miss.

We’re only as sick as our secrets and lies. Covid-19, the January 6 Commission, infrastructure, Florida, Governor Ron DeSantis, this week in Tucker Carlson, white supremacy and that’s just where we begin.

TRUMP LOVES HITLER, WAT?

Written by Halli Casser-Jayne on . Posted in HC-J Blog

Trump loves Hitler, wat? Trump is back and as they say with a vengeance. Did he ever go away? And that’s just where we begin this week on The Halli Casser-Jayne Show podcast, when joining me at my table for the full hour to discuss the latest revelation that Trump actually said “Hitler did a lot of good” and so much more is my partner in politics, former White House correspondent and Newsweek and Time alum, Matthew Cooper.

According to excerpts of an upcoming book from Wall Street Journal reporter Michael Bender, then-President Donald Trump allegedly praised Adolf Hitler during a discussion with his White House chief of staff John Kelly in 2018 while on a trip to Paris to commemorate the armistice after World War I. “Well, Hitler did a lot of good things,” Trump reportedly told Kelly, who was explaining to the 45th President who the allies and adversaries were in both World Wars, according to Bender. Bender also writes in the book that Trump was “undeterred” and persisted in his defense of the German dictator by claiming the country made economic gains under Hitler’s leadership. You can’t make this stuff up folks.

Trump loves Hitler, wat?

But that’s not all. Covid-19 infections are rising throughout the country. We look at the alarming increase in cases and wonder why so many aren’t alarmed. Should vaccines be mandated to save us all? Joe Manchin remains on our radar as he continues to be in control of the American government. Should we be losing patience with President Joe Biden’s failure to get Manchin inline with his party? According to a leaked video of Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX), obstruction is the playbook for Republicans. Is that why Roy or anyone was sent to Congress — to obstruct?” Majorie Taylor Greene invokes the Holocaust again. Why hasn’t she been expelled from Congress? And is Elvis Presley Jewish?  

Trump loves Hitler, wat? Ashli Babbitt a martyr? This week in Tucker Carlson. Whatever happened to the Matt Gaetz indictment? — and we’re just getting started.
