Undisputed King of Stuff, columnist, and longtime Ricochet Editor-in-Chief Jon Gabriel is in for Jim today as he and Greg serve up a full round of bad/crazy martinis after giving a well-deserved shoutout to Florida for showing it is possible to interdict illegal immigration.
In their first crazy martini, they highlight Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders introducing legislation lowering the work week to just 32 hours but also demanding no drop in pay. In addition to the economic insanity, Jon points out that this runs afoul of America’s strong work ethic.
They also roll their eyes at the latest story suggesting Americans need to stop eating so much beef and dairy because cattle are supposedly responsible for the low water levels in the western U.S. due to the growing of plants that cattle eat. Jon and Greg are not buying that premise and suggest some more obvious reasons that water levels are down.
Finally, they dig into Jon’s latest column for Discourse magazine focusing on how unenthused voters are about a Biden-Trump rematch. Jon explains what that apathy might mean in 2024 and why it’s important to vote even if you don’t love your options at the top of the ticket.

Undisputed King of Stuff, columnist, and longtime Ricochet Editor-in-Chief Jon Gabriel is in for Jim today as he and Greg enjoy a fantastic good martini, an infuriating bad one, and more media insanity.
First, Jon and Greg sit back and relish Texas Republican Rep. Wesley Hunt savaging the Democrats’ talking points that requiring voters to present a photo ID to vote is somehow racist, discriminatory, or burdensome. Rep. Hunt effectively and cleverly refers to his own experience as a black man in procuring photo ID’s and the proof in Georgia that secure elections don’t equal voter suppression.
Then, they unload on Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer for castigating Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from the Senate floor, with Schumer labeling Netanyahu an “obstacle to peace” and demanding new elections in Israel. And while he demands new elections and a change in Israeli leadership, Schumer assures us that the U.S. would never, ever interfere in those elections.
Finally, they react with horror to the gang-fueled anarchy unfolding in Haiti and the humanitarian crisis that seems headed our way. But they also pause to note the insanity of NBC News blasting “right wing influencers” for pointing out some of these gangs have a history of cannibalism – rather than criticizing the gangs themselves.

Former Chief Assistant U.S. Attorney and National Review Contributing Editor Andy McCarthy is in for Jim and provides a wealth of historical and first-hand context to our three topics today.
First, Andy and Greg assess Special Counsel Robert Hur’s testimony surrounding the timeline confusion in Biden’s testimony over allegations that he mishandled classified information. Hur’s testimony puts the lie to Biden’s angry denunciation that he was asked when his son died. Instead, Biden volunteered it and got it wrong.
Andy also points out that Biden was found to be mishandling sensitive information for decades, including his time in the Senate. And he explains why Biden being in possession of classified info from his Senate days proves that Biden – and not his staff – is responsible for him having those documents. He also provides critical background information into another notorious example of a Democrat being caught red-handed illegally taking classified information.
Next, they shudder as FBI Director Christopher Wray confirms in Senate testimony that the bureau is actively investigating allegations that human smugglers with ties to ISIS are actively moving people at our southern border. Andy says this should come as no surprise and he shares the stunning immigration enforcement incompetence that allowed the terrorist mastermind of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing to enter the U.S. illegally – even after being directly linked to a high-profile assassination overseas.
Finally, they zero in on California Rep. Adam Schiff suggesting that Donald Trump should received “dumbed down” intelligence reports as the GOP presidential nominee because of the classified charges pending against him. Andy says this would not be the first time the intel community played favorites in a presidential election involving Trump, and he recalls why Schiff is the least credible advocate for this argument against the former president.

Inez Stepman of the Independent Women’s Forum and host of the “High Noon” podcast is in for Jim. Today, Inez and Greg discuss three stories featuring insanity – or attempted insanity – from the Biden administration.
First, they applaud Snickers for calling out President Biden’s falsehoods about the company’s alleged “shrinkflation” practices. They not only discuss Biden’s obvious efforts to distract from his own inflationary policies but his decades-long practice of trying to convince low-information voters that he’s actually the stronger choice on issues like border security.
Next, they dig into the infuriating story of how the Biden administration is undermining the CHIPS Act and efforts to manufacture semiconductors here in the U.S. by saddling companies with absurd DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) mandates for hiring and more. As a result, companies are delaying or scrapping plans to build new plants here. Biden and his people are choosing a radical agenda over national security.
Finally, they highlight the story the Department of Veterans Affairs wishes would just vanish. A memo was drafted ordering the removal of the famous photo of the sailor and nurse kissing in Times Square from VA facilities. The photo depicts the jubilation after the Japanese surrendered in August 1945, meaning World War II was over. Why did the VA try to ban the photo? Because the kiss was “non-consensual” and therefore runs afoul of the Justice Department’s current definition of sexual assault. The policy was quickly scrapped by VA Secretary Denis McDonough after an intense & immediate public backlash.

Listen to “Breaking Down Biden’s State of the Union” on Spreaker.
by GregC
Join Jim and Greg as they break down a big day in politics from Super Tuesday to the balance in the U.S. Senate.
First, they acknowledge what we all expected – that Donald Trump and Joe Biden would virtually lock up their respective nominations on Tuesday – punctuated by Nikki Haley suspending her campaign Wednesday morning. But they do note that bewildering win by Democrat Jason Palmer in American Samoa & highlight the smugness of the MSNBC panel over Virginia Republicans naming immigration as their top concern. And Jim explains how he would restructure the primary season so that more voters in more states would have a say while the campaign is still competitive.
Then they break down the results of the jungle primary in California. They’re disgusted that Adam Schiff not only advanced to the general election but will be the heavy favorite. They also note former Dodgers and Padres star Steve Garvey taking the second spot behind Schiff. And hey are very pleased to see far left Reps. Katie Porter and Barbara Lee lose and be out of Congress entirely next year.
Finally, they dissect the impact of Arizona Independent Sen. Kyrsten Sinema announcing she will not run for re-election this year. While still disagreeing with Sinema on most issues, they see her six years as somewhat of a pleasant surprise for her willingness to defend the legislative filibuster in the Senate. But they also note that a far left Dem is now likely favored to win her seat.

After a lovely day of all good martinis, there’s plenty of bad and crazy for Jim and Greg today. And even the good martini is not pleasant.
First, the welcome the United Nations confirming what we all saw on October 7th last year – that Hamas used rape and other sexual assault as weapons of war. However, the UN also concluded that Hamas is still likely using these heinous tactics against the hostages.
Next, a two-part bad martini highlighting President Biden’s dereliction at the border and new evidence that his administration deliberately and actively flew illegals into the country. They dissect a Daily Mail report detailing how the administration admits, through a Freedom of Information request, that it flew hundreds of thousands of people (with no legal right to enter our nation) to 43 different airports in the U.S. during 2023 alone.
But they also point out a recent segment on “60 Minutes,” in which former Customs and Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz says he never had a conversation with President Biden or Vice President Kamala Harris during his two years on the job from 2021-2023.
Finally, Jim and Greg unload on figures at the Lincoln Project and The Bulwark for their unhinged rhetoric aimed at No Labels, the group looking for a third party candidate to run for president this year. Reporting from Byron York quotes Rick Wilson of the Lincoln Project saying No Labels needed to be “burned to the (expletive deleted) ground politically.” Jonathan Last of The Bulwark publicly said anyone affiliated with No Labels should “have their lives ruined,” including losing their jobs and much more.

Jim and Greg serve up a clarifying good martini plus conventional bad and crazy ones to wind up the week.
First, they offer a timely reminder of Biden’s promises from 2020 on border security, sanctuary cities, and who ought to be deported. The comments explain why we saw the border crisis explode on his watch and suggest his recent get tough approach is only a political maneuver.
They also cringe as stellar national security reporter Catherine Herridge is ordered to pay fines of $800 per day for refusing to divulge her sources on a story connection a U.S.-based scientist with the Chinese Communist Party.
Finally, they groan in reaction to the race already beginning to replace Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell, even though the conference elections aren’t until November, we have no idea how many Republicans will be in the Senate, and how many current ones will still be there.
