From climate change to recycling to health care to capitalism and impeachment, Progressives fail at everything that matters to them. Scott Ott, Bill Whittle and Stephen Green take a crack at cheering up our Progressive friends.
Stephen Green’s Lightning Round brings hot headlines to Bill Whittle and Scott Ott in a fast-paced week in review. As AOC gets solar plant workers fired, President Trump goes bigly after Black voters, and Democrats tear their party apart over billionaire Bloomberg trying to buy an election, while Elizabeth Warren attempts the same with other people’s money.
As Elizabeth Warren appears to fade, Bernie Sanders inches up, and Joe Biden startles everyone by continuing to draw breath, Pete Buttigieg and Tulsi Gabbard gain strength. Iowa looms around the bend, and Democrats still can’t decide if they prefer a socialist geezer, a moderate man-child, or some other intersectional mashup.
Stephen Green recounts a long list of Hollywood remakes that flopped and brought shame to the name of their successful originals. Just this month, re-boots of Charlie’s Angels, The Shining and Terminator stank up the silver screen.
The new Charlie’s Angels film remake flops, a failure that director Elizabeth Banks attributes to the “fact” that men don’t go to see women do action movies. Have men actually decided they no longer enjoy watching “hot chicks who kick a$$”, or are audiences just tired of being force-fed a feminist lecture when they paid to see a fun movie?
Eric Felten at RealClearInvestigations.com notes that the media protects Joe and Hunter Biden by repeatedly saying that there’s “no evidence” of corruption or influence peddling in their connections with Ukraine. What if journalists treated Donald Trump using “the Biden standard”?
Why do the impeachment hearings fail to convince anyone? A new NPR/PBS Newshour/Marist poll shows that the vast majority of Americans can’t imagine anything in the hearings will change their minds about President Trump’s guilt or innocence.

Pilgrims to the former entertainment capital of the world find that California dreamin’ today means they’ll live in a pod, wade through a sewer and try to avoid the plague.
The parents of the victims of the Sandy Hook elementary school shooting may sue Remington Arms over the way the firearms company marketed its AR-15 style Bushmaster rifle, according to the U.S. Supreme Court. Can marketing be murder?
The New York Times marks the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall with a photo essay, and quotes historian Anne Applebaum saying, “It was not a triumph of good over evil. It was basically incompetence — and chance.” Bill Whittle, Stephen Green and Scott Ott remember it differently.
New San Francisco District Attorney-elect Chesa Boudin said he won’t prosecute public poopers — urination and defecation in the streets — and other behavior like aggressive panhandling. Will decriminalizing anti-social behavior cut crime in the sh**ty by the bay?

The North Bristol Trust, a British health care provider, says doctors can withhold care from patients it determines to be racists or sexists, based on their public statements. When you give power of attorney to the government, don’t be surprised if funding for your line item gets redistributed to a better sort of person.
