Kamala Ghosts Biden, Comedian’s Trump Rally Controversy, Michelle Obama Berates Men

by

Listen to “Kamala Ghosts Biden, Comedian’s Trump Rally Controversy, Michelle Obama Berates Men” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg on 3 Martini Lunch as they unpack the friction between Joe Biden’s offer to campaign for Kamala Harris and the Harris team’s resistance, the potential fallout of a comedian’s controversial comments at the Trump rally, and Michelle Obama’s unpersuasive scolding of men who won’t vote for Harris.

First, after briefly lamenting how their NFL teams squandered late leads on Sunday, they enjoy the Harris campaign’s never-ending awkwardness over Joe Biden. Harris can’t think of a thing she would have done differently than Biden but insists she’ll be different. Now, as Biden wants to hit the campaign trail for Kamala, her advisers want nothing to do with him.

Next, Jim and Greg analyze comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s controversial jokes at a Trump rally in New York City. From comments on Puerto Ricans, Latinos, and black people, they discuss the backlash and potential fallout. With the media spotlight on these remarks, they explore how this could affect close races like the U.S. Senate seat in Florida, where GOP Sen. Rick Scott strongly condemned the jokes.

Finally, they slam the Harris campaign for its abortion obsession over the final days of the campaign. And Jim rips former First Lady Michelle Obama for scolding men with lines like, “Are you as men prepared to look into the eyes of the women and children you love and tell them you supported this assault on our safety?” Jim also points out the Obamas’ constant and tiresome disappointment with the American people.

Three Martinis with Michele Tafoya: Her Life in Sports, Politics in Sports, Trans Athletes, Gov. Walz

by

Listen to “Three Martinis with Michele Tafoya: Her Life in Sports, Politics in Sports, Trans Athletes, Gov. Walz” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome longtime, Emmy-winning sports reporter Michele Tafoya. Best known for her work as a sideline reporter on Monday Night Football and Sunday Night Football, Tafoya is now a political commentator and host of the Michele Tafoya Podcast. In this episode, they dive into her most memorable sports moments, her views on the intersection of politics and sports, the controversy surrounding transgender athletes, her experience living in Minnesota under Gov. Tim Walz and more.

First, the conversation kicks off with Michele Tafoya’s rise in sports journalism. From her major career breakthroughs to the challenges of interviewing uncooperative coaches and players, Tafoya shares insights from her time as a sports reporter. She recounts some of her favorite on-field moments, the sports personalities who were easy and tough to work with, and a hilarious story from an NCAA tournament game she was covering in the 1990s.

Next, they focus on politics, including how Tafoya evolved from a left-leaning graduate of Cal Berkeley to a conservative. She also touches on the impact of politics getting injected into sports coverage and how some members of the sports media see themselves as political and cultural activists.

Finally, Tafoya speaks out against the participation of biological men in women’s sports. She shares her thoughts on how this is fundamentally unfair and is affecting female athletes and the integrity of women’s sports. In addition, Tafoya opens up about living under the leadership of Gov. Tim Walz in Minnesota and her perspective on the political expectation that she should support Kamala Harris simply because she is a woman.

Serving Up Courage in Women’s Sports, Ugly Updated Crime Stats, Kamala Going Rogan?

by

Listen to “Serving Up Courage in Women’s Sports, Ugly Updated Crime Stats, Kamala Going Rogan?” on Spreaker.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour Host Scot Bertram is in for Jim. Today, Scot and I discuss more female college athletes refusing to complete against males, violent crime statistics getting revised upward significantly, and Kamala staffers pushing her to go on Joe Rogan’s podcast.

First, they applaud the University of Nevada women’s volleyball team for refusing to compete against San Jose State due to safety concerns over a biological male on the opposing team. Nevada becomes the fifth Mountain West Conference team to boycott San Jose State. Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo supports the players, while the university issues a much less clear response.

Next, we break down the revised 2022 violent crime statistics, which reveal many more violent crimes than originally reported. Scot now questions the accuracy of 2023 crime data, and both express frustration with weak prosecutors who continue to release violent criminals, leading to repeat offenses.

Lastly, they discuss the amusing reports of Kamala Harris’ staff pushing her to appear on Joe Rogan’s podcast. Scot explains why this interview would be a disaster for Harris, and they reflect on how the left very recently demonized Rogan as a danger to society.

Biden’s Middle East Bungling, Why Kamala Wants Another Debate, Walz Won’t Mind His Business

by

Listen to “Biden’s Middle East Bungling, Why Kamala Wants Another Debate, Walz Won’t Mind His Business” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they take on three big martinis, as they discuss the escalating war between Israel and Hezbollah and how Biden botched the Israel-Hamas talks, why Kamala Harris is so eager to have another debate with Donald Trump, how Tim Walz wants to be in your face about politics, and much more.

First, they document the latest developments in the fighting between Israel and Hezbollah and remind the media Hezbollah was firing a lot of rockets into Israel long before the pager explosions last week. They also highlight a Wall Street Journal story saying there probably won’t be an Israel-Hamas ceasefire during Biden’s presidency and that Biden’s team is finally coming to realize what we knew all along – Hamas doesn’t want a deal.

Next, they react to Vice President Harris accepting an invitation to a CNN presidential debate on October 23. So far, Trump is declining the offer. But after two months of campaign fluff and avoiding press conferences and most interviews, why is Harris so intent on another debate?

Meanwhile, Greg reported back in 2020 that the State of Michigan sent an absentee voter application to his childhood address, meaning he was (and maybe still is) on Michigan’s voter rolls more than 20 years after moving out of the state. Now there’s another story of Michigan voter roll insanity that’s even worse.

Finally, they shake their heads as Minnesota Gov. Tim “Mind Your Own Damn Business” Walz now thinks you need to confront people in the grocery store about this election and tells those who just want to stay away from politics that they don’t have that option.

DeSantis Makes Sense on Trump Probe, Cringeworthy Questioning of Kamala, Is Trump’s Golf to Blame?

by

Listen to “DeSantis Makes Sense on Trump Probe, Pathetic Media Panders to Kamala, Is Trump’s Golf to Blame?” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they applaud Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for his deeper explanation for why Florida definitely needs to be conducting its own investigation into this past weekend’s attempted assassination of Donald Trump. They also discuss the pathetic question aimed at Kamala Harris in a rare interview opportunity and the weak argument that Donald Trump’s love of golf is making him more vulnerable to being attacked.

First, they agree with Gov. DeSantis that state officials do need to be conducting their own investigation because there are some pertinent charges that federal prosecutors cannot pursue but state officials can. And while any prosecution ought to be based on the facts, limiting charges to just a couple of federal gun crimes hardly seems sufficient for a man caught trying to kill a former president who is also currently a major party nominee for president.

Next, they groan as one of the panelists interviewing Kamala Harris at a National Association of Black Journalists event asks her the brutally tough question, “Why is joy important to you to insert into this election?” Jim notes that opportunities to question Harris are few and far between so you shouldn’t be wasting them on things like that when there are many critical issues worth addressing.

Finally, they cast a skeptical eye on a Politico story suggesting that Donald Trump is putting himself in danger by continuing to play golf, supposedly because it puts a major strain on Secret Service personnel to secure the large amount of space involved. They don’t doubt that it is challenging but many presidents have been avid players and Secret Service never seemed to complain about his before.

The Debate: Kamala’s Lying & Baiting, Trump’s Distracted Rambling, Moderators’ Bias

by

Listen to “The Debate: Kamala’s Lying & Baiting, Trump’s Distracted Rambling, Moderators’ Bias” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they dissect Tuesday night’s presidential debate and how everyone on that stage was underwhelming in their performances – from Kamala Harris dodging or lying on the hard questions to Donald Trump missing opportunities and getting easily distracted to the moderators playing favorites. They also update yesterday’s Taylor Swift story and reflect on 23 years since the horrific 9/11 terrorist attacks.

First, they break down Kamala’s performance, particularly how she refused to answer challenging questions about the Biden-Harris record on the economy, the border, and her many sudden policy changes. They also note specific areas where she tried to sneak to the right of Trump and her clear strategy of baiting Trump away from discussing the issues most damaging to her.

Next, they explain how Trump kept falling for the rabbit trails offered by Harris, his failure to highlight some of the most devastating aspects of the Biden-Harris record, misstating other attempts to land punches, and how he looked generally unprepared for the event. They also highlight a few of his zingers against Harris and Biden, but even those turned out to be missed opportunities.

Then, they evaluate ABC News moderators David Muir and Lindsey Davis for their one-sided, questionable fact-checking and for offering some real softball questions to Harris.

Finally, Jim and Greg share their thoughts as the nation solemnly marks the 23rd anniversary of the 9/11 Al Qaeda terrorist attacks against New York City, the Pentagon, and Flight 93 in Pennsylvania.

Hunter Biden Pleads Guilty, Charging School Shooters’ Parents, GOP Senate Outlook

by

Listen to “Hunter Biden Pleads Guilty, Charging School Shooters’ Parents, GOP Senate Outlook” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg for three complicated martinis to close out the week. They discuss Hunter Biden deciding to plead guilty to federal tax charges, whether parents of school shooters ought to face criminal charges, and the forecast for this years U.S. Senate elections.
First, they focus on Hunter Biden abandoning his plan to go to trial and a subsequent plan to plead guilty without admitting guilt on federal tax charges. Now that he’s simply pleading guilty, what does that mean for sentencing, the chances his father pardons him and more? Jim says it’s all further proof of one thing – that the critics of Hunter Biden were right and Joe Biden and a lot of other Democrats and media apologists were wrong or flat out lying.
Second, they examine this week’s horrific, deadly school shooting at a Georgia high school and mull over whether officials are right to charge the shooter’s father with two counts of second degree murder and four counts of involuntary manslaughter for failing to keep guns away from his 14-year-old son who had already been evaluated as a possible threat. Are charges like this a good way to keep parents more vigilant and accountable for their kids’ actions and for their own actions or does criminal blame belong solely with the killer?
Finally, they examine the U.S. Senate map this year. And while odds look favorable for Republicans to reclaim a slim majority, there are several other seats held by Democrats which should be vulnerable. But so far the GOP challengers are consistently trailing.

DNC Walz vs. The Real Walz, The Dems’ Freedom Fiction, What Bad Jobs Report?

by

Listen to “DNC Walz vs. The Real Walz, The Dems’ Freedom Fiction, What Bad Jobs Report?” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they discuss the third night of the Democratic National Convention and more. They comment on Bill Clinton’s decline, the fictional Tim Walz highlighted at the DNC vs. the one with a real & disturbing record as governor, the Dems projecting the fantasy that they are the party of freedom, and Biden’s commerce secretary giving a bizarre reaction to a lousy jobs report.

First, after commenting on Clinton’s speech that was underwhelming and way too long, they dissect the “strikingly shameless” portrayal of Tim Walz as an everyman and good neighbor instead of the far left politician who coddled rioters, threatened anyone reluctant to take a Covid vaccine, added a Covid snitch line, and has had a cozy relationship with China for decades.

Next, they shake their heads as Democrat after Democrat pretended that they are the party of freedom and that Republicans are the party of federal intrusion into our lives. And yet, there’s only a couple of “freedoms” that they really care about and got repeated over and over Wednesday night.

Finally, they laugh as Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo accuses Donald Trump of issuing the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) report showing the government overestimated the number of jobs created over the past year by 818,000. When confronted with the truth, Raimondo claimed she was not aware of the report.

Biden’s Tiresome Rant, DNC’s Lousy Logistics, Jill & Nancy Spin Joe’s Exit

by

Listen to “Biden’s Tiresome Rant, DNC’s Lousy Logistics, Jill & Nancy Spin Joe’s Exit” on Spreaker.

Jim is back today, joining the podcast from the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. Today, Jim and Greg dissect Biden’s angry & often false speech, the Democrats running way behind schedule at the convention, & Jill Biden and Nancy Pelosi offering very different explanations for why Biden abandoned his re-election bid.

First, they break down Biden’s long, loud speech that was full of debunked accusations and major distortions about his record. From his performance on border security to COVID & schools to job creation, Biden played fast & loose with the truth and, of course, had more than a few moments of mangling his words.

Next, they’re stunned at how badly run the first night of the DNC was. Jim explains what a hassle it was for media and delegates to get into the arena. And then, Democrats scheduled a bunch of barely known figures to speak past the prime time window. Did Democrats intentionally shove Joe to a time the viewership would be dwindling?

Finally, they get a kick out of the very different explanations given last night for why Biden dropped his re-election bid, with First Lady Jill Biden stating that Joe made the decision after looking “deep into his soul” and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi admitting she “did what I had to do” but insisting that Joe made his own decision.

Portland Dumps Woke DA, Michigan GOP’s Petition Mishaps, College Students Resist Reading

by

Listen to “Woke Portland DA Dumped, Michigan GOP’s Petition Mishaps, College Students Resist Reading” on Spreaker.

Greg and Jim dive into the latest conservative victories in the justice system, the Michigan GOP’s latest trouble with accusations of  fraudulent signatures, and the rise of college students’ mulish insistence on not completing assigned reading.
First, they kick off the episode with a double fisted martini: woke Portland DA Mike Schmidt looks like he will be ousted from office for his soft-on-crime policies. Additionally, Georgia Supreme Court Justice Andrew Pinson successfully fended off the challenge of former Rep. John Barrow, who campaigned primarily on a pro-abortion platform.
Next, they sigh and shake their heads at the Michigan GOP, which never seems to learn its lesson, as candidates are coming under fire for allegedly committing ballot signature fraud once again. They examine the poor condition that much of state-level GOP management has fallen into, in Michigan and beyond, and why gathering petition signatures is one of the most basic parts of politics.
Finally, they find themselves bewildered by the latest trend among college students, who are constantly demanding that professors lower coursework expectations and workload. They point out the paradox that, while Ivy League schools are getting more and more selective, college students across the board are learning less and show poorer work ethic than past generations.
