DeSantis Gives Protesters a History Lesson, Biden Protects Hamas, Biden’s Big Inflation Lie

by

Listen to “DeSantis Gives Protesters a History Lesson, Biden Protects Hamas, Biden’s Big Inflation Lie” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they discuss a much needed history lesson from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, President Biden providing cover for Hamas, and Biden offering a big fat le about inflation.

First, they applaud Gov. DeSantis for supporting the effective & sane campus protest policies at the University of Florida and also explaining to demonstrators that there never was a Palestinian state.

Then they hammer President Biden for turning his back on Israel and saying he will cut off more weapons for Israel if Israeli Defense Forces take the fight to Hamas in Rafah. He’s essentially doing everything he can to save Hamas.

Finally, they call out Biden again for telling CNN’s Erin Burnett that the inflation rate was nine percent when he took office. It was actually 1.4 percent. Jim rips the president for concocting this fantasy world where he blatantly lies about reality and always tries to make himself out to be the hero.

Biden’s Pandering Backfires, The Looming TikTok ‘Ban,’ Opposing DEI Attacks Democracy?

by

Listen to “Biden’s Pandering Backfires, The Looming TikTok ‘Ban,’ Opposing DEI Attacks Democracy?” on Spreaker.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour Host Scot Bertram is in for Jim. Today, Scot and Greg serve up at least one good martini, one that has the potential to be very good, and a really crazy one starring Stacey Abrams.

First, they laugh as new Bloomberg poll numbers show President Biden’s blatant pandering to Muslim voters in Michigan by verbally attacking Israel at every opportunity is showing small signs of success in that state but it’s also causing Donald Trump to grow his lead in virtually every other battleground state.

Next, they are cautiously optimistic about recently passed legislation that forces TikTok’s parent company to sell the app or have it banned in the U.S. TikTok is well documented to be Chinese Communist Party spyware that harvests personal and national security data while getting millions of Americans – especially young people – addicted to the content, much of which is very harmful. But they also want to be sure this new law does not end up stifling online speech in any way.

Then, they get a kick out twice-failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams stating that opposition to the implementation of the DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) agenda in schools is an attack on our democracy. They enjoy seeing how the Democrats now see any position contrary to their agenda as a threat to democracy – and the insanity doesn’t stop there.

Lastly, these two beleaguered Chicago Bears fans look ahead to Thursday’s NFL Draft, in which the Bears have the first pick. Scot is optimistic about the team that’s being assembled and Greg is just waiting to see how the Bears will squander this opportunity.

Fixing the Cost of College: Make Schools Back up Loans, GOP Needs a Plan, The Enrollment Cliff

by

Listen to “Fixing the Cost of College: Make Schools Back up Loans, GOP Needs a Plan, The Enrollment Cliff” on Spreaker.

President Biden is once again touting his unconstitutional efforts to transfer the student loan debt from those who took out the loans to the taxpayers who did not. It’s not just illegal, it’s immoral. And there are much better ways to address the problem. Today, Jim and Greg examine three different areas worthy of much more attention.

First, they cheer Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for arguing that colleges and universities should back up the cost of student loans if their graduates are not able to find jobs with high enough salaries to pay them back. He says it’s not only right because the schools benefit immensely from student loans but it would also force schools to focus on subjects in which their students can find good jobs.

Next, they also welcome their friend Inez Stepman’s idea of taxing the endowments of colleges and universities, instead of allowing schools to treat them like hedge funds. Beyond that, they implore Republicans to come up with a coherent message other than opposition to what Biden is doing. Americans are furious about Biden’s shifting of this debt onto the rest of taxpayers, but without an actual plan to address the problem, Republicans are not doing taxpayers or themselves any favors.

Finally, they note the coming higher education “enrollment cliff,” as the number of high school graduates is expected to drop considerably in the next few years. Will that refocus the priorities of these universities? And how will greater interest in trade schools impact all of this?

Arizona & Abortion, Inflation Still High, Biden’s Demands for Israel, Jackson-Lee’s Iffy Astronomy

by

Listen to “Arizona & Abortion, Inflation Still High, Biden’s Demands for Israel, Jackson-Lee’s Iffy Astronomy” on Spreaker.

It’s four martinis for the price of three today and none of them are good.

Join Jim and Greg as they start a busy day with the Arizona Supreme Court upholding an 1864 law limiting abortions only to medical emergencies for the mother. “Life of the mother” used to be a pretty standard position on abortion for Republicans, but the hypocritical reaction from most GOP figures yesterday was quite telling. They’d much prefer the talking point than the actual policy.

They also groan as the monthly inflation numbers once again come in higher than expected. Prices remain stubbornly high – and often keep rising – regardless of what the president or his allies tell you.

Plus, Biden suggests Israel should announce it will stop fighting Hamas for 6-8 weeks to allow significant humanitarian relief into Gaza. He made no mention of requiring the release of hostages in response. Meanwhile, Hamas has already rejected a cease-fire but Biden can’t seem to condemn that publicly.

Finally, Texas Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee offers an astronomy lesson for the ages at an event celebrating the solar eclipse.

KC Voters Stiff-Arm Chiefs, Wisconsin Rejects Privately-Run Elections, Biden Won’t Refill Strategic Reserve

by

Listen to “KC Voters Stiff-Arm Chiefs, Wisconsin Rejects Privately-Run Elections, Biden Won’t Refill Strategic Reserve” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they cheer two positive election results from Tuesday and call out the Biden administration for another failed promise.

First, they applaud the voters of Jackson County, Missouri, for rejecting the demands of the Kansas City Chiefs and Kansas City Royals to approve a sales tax to bankroll a new baseball stadium and overhaul the football field.

Next, they welcome the decision by Wisconsin voters to reject private financing or staffing of elections. It’s in response to the millions poured into the 2020 elections by Facebook/Meta Founder Mark Zuckerberg.

Finally, they’re disgusted but not surprised that the Biden administration does not plan to honor its promise to refill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve after selling off much of it to artificially lower gas prices before the 2022 midterm elections

Trump Stands with Police, Palestinian ‘Martyr Payments,’ Pope Says Weapons Don’t Bring Peace

by

Listen to “Trump Stands with Police, Palestinian ‘Martyr Payments,’ Pope Says Weapons Don’t Bring Peace” on Spreaker.

Jim Geraghty is back! We’ll have a full review of his time in Ukraine later this week but today he ready to focus on good, bad, and crazy martinis after sharing his thoughts on the passing of Sen. Lieberman last week.

They kick off the martinis by appreciating Donald Trump for attending the wake of slain NYPD Officer Jonathan Diller and offering appropriate comments afterwards about how we need a major shift in how this country views police officers. Jim says moments like this are also why Trump holds narrow leads in virtually all of the swing states.

Next, they sigh as the Biden administration thinks it found a partner in Middle East peace with the Palestinian Authority. But first, the U.S. is trying to convince this supposedly more responsible group’s leaders to stop paying the families of people committing terrorist attacks against Israel. If that’s a real dilemma for the Palestinian Authority, its commitment to last peace seems more than a little dubious.

Finally, they chide Pope Francis for using part of his Easter message to call for an immediate ceasefire in the Middle East and his curious contention that “peace is never made with weapons, but with outstretched hands and open hearts.” That sounds nice but it’s not always true and not realistic when dealing with bloodthirsty perpetrators of evil like Hamas.

Florida Squashes Squatters, Media Malpractice at CBS, Minimum Wage Reality Check, Remembering Lieberman

by

Listen to “Florida Squashes Squatters, Media Malpractice at CBS, Minimum Wage Reality Check, Remembering Lieberman” on Spreaker.

Undisputed King of Stuff, columnist, and longtime Ricochet Editor-in-Chief Jon Gabriel is in for Jim today. Jon and Greg tackle good, bad, and crazy martinis and remember the late Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman.
First, they cheer Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and the state legislature for enacting anti-squatting legislation to provide protections for private property owners and swift law enforcement removal of people illegally occupying homes.
Next, they hammer CBS News reporter Ed O’Keefe and new Guatemalan Pres. Bernardo Arevalo for blatantly misrepresenting Donald Trump’s comments on migrants and absurdly suggesting people have a fundamental right to come to the U.S. O’Keefe also suggests migrants’ lives might be in danger in the U.S. if Trump wins in November.
They also highlight the painfully predictable results of California raising the minimum wage for fast food workers to $20 per hour.
Finally, they offer a toast to longtime Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman, who was the Democrats’ vice presidential nominee in 2000 and, just as significantly, a guest on 3 Martini Lunch in 2022.

Snickers Bites Back at Biden, DEI Derailing U.S. Semiconductor Plants, The VA’s VJ-Day Insanity

by

Listen to “Snickers Bites Back at Biden, DEI Derailing U.S. Semiconductor Plants, The VA’s VJ-Day Insanity” on Spreaker.

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.

Breaking Down Biden’s State of the Union

by

Listen to “Breaking Down Biden’s State of the Union” on Spreaker.

We’ve had all good martinis and all crazy martinis this week. So it makes sense that Jim and Greg close the week with all bad martinis as they assess President Biden’s State of the Union address and the Republican response.
First, they note that Biden responded to criticism that he often comes off as low energy and mentally meandering by showing up angry, talking quickly, and turning the speech into more of a convention address than what the event is supposed to be. But Jim says if the Biden team was trying to invigorate the left-wing base, it may have helped him politically. They also highlight his inappropriate trash talking of the Supreme Court and his fiction over deficit spending.
Then, they take aim at Biden’s ill-conceived idea of building a pier on or near the Gaza coast to bring in humanitarian relief. And while Biden says there will be no American “boots on the ground,” if they’re anywhere close, this is a very bad idea. Jim also asserts that this move is simply Biden’s efforts to win back Muslim voters in Michigan.
Finally, they’re less than thrilled with the GOP performance on Thursday. They discuss the excellent content in the official response from Alabama Sen. Katie Britt but debate whether the emotional delivery was effective. Moreover, given the late start to the Biden speech, Jim suspects the nation’s opinion of the Republicans will be based more on Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s disruptions of Biden than the actual response.

McConnell’s Last Year as Leader, Newsom’s Shady Favoritism, Trump vs. Biden at the Border

by

Listen to “McConnell’s Last Year as Leader, Newsom’s Shady Favoritism, Trump vs. Biden at the Border” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg for three important martinis ranging from the U.S. Senate to the border to cronyism in politics.
First, they react to Sen. Mitch McConnell announcing this will be his final year as Senate Republican leader. They break down McConnell’s record on reshaping the U.S. Supreme Court by pushing through the nominations of Justices Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Coney Barrett. They dig into his willingness to be the villain to protect other GOP members, but also the frustration conservatives have with his failure to fight harder for less spending and not being more aggressive on certain policy goals. And, of course, they preview the fight to replace McConnell as leader.
Then they document the shady exemption to California’s new law raising the minimum wage for fast food workers from $16 to $20 per hour for establishments that bake their own bread on site and sell it individually. This seems to be a specific carve out for Gov. Gavin Newsom’s friend and donor who owns a bunch of Panera franchises in the state.
Finally, they assess today’s dueling border visits from Biden and Trump, what we can glean by the different areas of the border they are visiting, and why Biden’s eagerness to reverse anything Trump did in office is coming back to bite him hardest at the border.
