Black Friday Political Gifts for 2023

by

Listen to “From SBF to Biden & Kamala to Congress, Our Black Friday Political Gifts for 2023” on Spreaker.

It’s Black Friday, the day retailers offer major deals to get shopper through their doors or online and hopefully guarantee finishing in the black for the year. Continuing a long 3 Martini Lunch tradition, Jim and Greg each offer up three gift ideas to political figures.

In the first round, Jim brings a practical gift for FTX founder, con man, and convict Sam Bankman-Fried while Greg finds a lovely present to break some tough news to Vice President Kamala Harris.

Next, Jim thinks of a gift President Biden can use on a daily basis while Greg offers medical appointments to prominent leaders who desperately need them.

Finally, Jim comes up with a gift to benefit his favorite football team in the relatively near future and Greg hopes his final offering can bring some political peace.

Enjoy the rest of your Thanksgiving vacation! Travel safely and join Jim and Greg again on Monday when they return to their usual format.

Exposing the Hamas Hospital Lies, House GOP Still in Disarray, Gov. Hochul’s Social Media Snooping

by

Listen to “Exposing the Hamas Hospital Lies, House GOP Still in Disarray, Gov. Hochul’s Social Media Snooping” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome the detailed reporting from CNN’s Nic Robertson, as Israeli Defense Forces explained to him on camera how Hamas was using a hospital in Gaza as an armory and military command post – a strategy that unnecessarily put many civilians in harm’s way.

They also sigh as House Republicans still cannot seem to agree on much – the latest evidence being the failure to impeach Homeland Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, who so richly deserves to get the boot. There’s also the fight over government spending as the Freedom Caucus refuses to get behind another continuing resolution backed by House Speaker Mike Johnson.

Finally, they say no way as New York Gov. Kathy Hochul announces she has created a social media analysis unit to crack down on hate online. While there is too much hate online, giving the government more power over our speech is a recipe for disaster.

Can Reynolds Boost DeSantis in Iowa? Debt Interest Passes $1 Trillion, Biden’s ‘Messaging’ Problem

by

Listen to “Can Reynolds Boost DeSantis in Iowa? Debt Interest Passes $1 Trillion, Biden’s ‘Messaging’ Problem” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they set the stage for today’s off-year elections that will have big consequences in states like Virginia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Jersey and more.

Then they kick off the martinis with a focus on Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds endorsing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for president. How much does her endorsement matter and will we actually get a competitive primary?

They also shudder at the news that our annual interest payments on the national debt are now more than $1 trillion per year. It’s an issue that both parties have intentionally ignored for decades and the consequences are going to be ugly.

Finally, they roll their eyes as Florida Rep. Jared Moskowitz insists that lousy polls for President Biden over the past two years are merely a “messaging issue.”

Mortgage Rate Agony, Becerra Targets the Constitution, Tlaib’s Vile Gaslighting

by

Listen to “Mortgage Rate Agony, Becerra Targets the Constitution, Tlaib’s Vile Gaslighting” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they serve up three lousy martinis. First, they shudder as 30-year mortgage interest rates hit eight percent, meaning monthly payments on a $400,000 home are now $1,000 more expensive per month than they were just two years ago. They also hammer Health and Human Services Sec. Xavier Becerra for pushing for a “universal system of public health” even though he admits the Constitution doesn’t allow it. He thinks it’s bad that different states could set different policies during the COVID pandemic and he wants more power over your life to address climate change. Then, they slam Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib for repeating the debunked Hamas propaganda about Israel bombing a hospital in Gaza. Finally, on a more positive note, they observe an important milestone and make an announcement about the next couple of weeks.

Sen. Feinstein Dies, The Looming Shutdown, Trump’s Absurd Debate Demand

by

Listen to “Sen. Feinstein Dies, The Looming Shutdown, Trump’s Absurd Debate Demand” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they react to the news of California Sen. Dianne Feinstein dying at the age of 90 after years of health issues. They walk through Feinstein’s career, point out her reliable liberal votes and her moments of collegiality with Republicans and hostility to GOP judicial nominees. Finally, they reflect on her decision to stay in office as her health problems mounted but also remember one moment that gave conservatives a smile. In other news, Jim and Greg consider the looming government shutdown as the fiscal year comes to a close and the House Republicans, who missed their opportunity to be in a much stronger negotiating position against Senate Democrats and President Biden. Finally, they slam former President Trump’s suggestion that the Republican National Committee should just cancel the rest of the primary debates and move on to helping him with the general election.

Dallas Mayor Joins GOP, Partisan Divide on Free Speech, Canada Honors a Nazi

by

Listen to “Dallas Mayor Joins GOP, Partisan Divide on Free Speech, Canada Honors a Nazi” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they cheer Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson switching to the Republican Party, saying the GOP has a much better approach on crime and fiscal discipline. And Jim wonders whether Johnson has larger political ambitions. They also recoil at a Real Clear Politics survey showing a sharp divide between the parties on free speech, with Democrats far more likely to favor government or social media companies cracking down on “hate speech” or speech that possibly threatens national security. Finally, they cringe as Canada’s House of Commons lavishes praise on a 98-year-old Canadian from Ukraine for fighting against Russia during World War II. They just didn’t bother to check which side he was fighting for.

Hunter’s Irony-Clad Case, Biden’s Middle East Mess, Stealth F-35 Gone Missing

by

Listen to “Hunter’s Irony-Clad Case, Biden’s Middle East Mess, Stealth F-35 Gone Missing” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they consider the unintended consequences of Hunter Biden’s suit against the IRS, alleging the whistleblowers on his case violated his privacy. He seems to be grasping for straws but could he actually end up strengthening protections for the rest of us against the IRS? They’re also disgusted as Iran follows up last week’s embarrassing Biden administration concessions by kicking a bunch of United Nations weapons inspectors out of the country and Saudi Arabia tells the U.S. is is ending consideration of normalizing relations with Israel. Finally, they’re thankful the pilot is safe and have some fun with the U.S. military asking the public to find a missing stealth F-35.

Romney Not Running, Inflation Goes Higher, Vivek & TikTok

by

Listen to “Romney Not Running, Inflation Goes Higher, Vivek & TikTok” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome Utah Sen. Mitt Romney recognizing that if your next term will take you into your mid-80s that it’s time to retire. They also look at the good and the bad of Romney’s time in the Senate and remember key moments and factors in his 2012 presidential loss to Barack Obama. They also shudder as inflation rises more than expected in August and how the average American family is getting pummeled by the cost of everything these days. Finally, Jim calls out Vivek Ramaswamy for changing his mind and joining the Chinese spyware known as TikTok because a prominent social media influencer told him to.

Dem AG vs. Dem Governor, House Impeachment Inquiry, Wall Street & China

by

Listen to “Dem AG vs. Dem Governor, House Impeachment Inquiry, Wall Street & China” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome the news that New Mexico Attorney General Raul Torrez, a Democrat, is refusing to defend Gov. Michelle Lujan-Grisham’s unconstitutional “health emergency” that forbids carrying guns in public for 30 days. They also react to House Speaker Kevin McCarthy calling for the launch of a formal impeachment inquiry against President Biden. They explain how the effort is warranted given the growing evidence but Jim argues that the current investigations would likely be more impactful than a formal inquiry. And they dive into what this decision and timing say about McCarthy and his grip on power. Finally, they applaud the House Select Committee on the CCP for taking Wall Street entities to task for investing in Chinese firms that present a direct threat to U.S. national security and human rights. The committee is working in strong bipartisan fashion, but will anything concrete and enforceable come out of all this work?

DeSantis Dust Up, Remain in Texas? Tennessee Dems’ Delusion

by

Listen to “DeSantis Dust Up, Remain in Texas? Tennessee Dems’ Delusion” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they applaud Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for verbally smacking down a reporter claiming DeSantis policies are responsible for the recent racially motivated murders in Jacksonville. They also roll their eyes as the Biden administration considers forcing illegal immigrant families to “remain in Texas” now that Democrats running sanctuary cities and states are begging for the influx of migrants to stop in their communities. Finally, they get a good laugh as, Gloria Johnson, one of the so-called “Tennessee Three” who led a protest onto the floor of the state legislature and disrupted proceedings to demand gun control, challenges Sen. Marsha Blackburn and Democrats try to convince themselves that Johnson has a good shot of winning.
