Join Jim and Greg as they document the potential good news and definitely bad and crazy news for the Republican Party.
First, they react to the news that Republican National Committee Chair Ronna Romney McDaniel will reportedly resign following the GOP South Carolina primary later this month. They chronicle her very unimpressive record on elections, fundraising, and leadership, and how tough the job will be for whoever follows her.
Then, they grimace as House Republicans fail to pass two very high-profile pieces of legislation on Tuesday, namely the impeachment of Homeland Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and military aid for Israel. It is a very slim majority for the GOP, but knowing whether you have the votes to pass things is should be obvious.
Finally, they’re unimpressed as Donald Trump suddenly says it’s time to let bygones be bygones with Bud Light after the Dylan Mulvaney fiasco from last year, because he thinks Anheuser-Busch is a good company. But there seem to be other reasons for this sudden declaration.

Join Jim and Greg as they dive into three big martinis today!
First, they welcome Dartmouth’s decision to once again use the SAT as a factor in admissions. Not only is it one of several valuable tools when considering an application, but Jim’s reporting also shows that efforts to get rid of the SAT actually hurt minority applicants.
Next, they groan as the U.S. military response of warning Iran when and where our airstrikes would happen obviously did nothing to correct Iran’s antagonistic behavior – as evidenced by another attack that killed six people working alongside the U.S.
Finally, they get a good laugh from Democrats pretending they care about having a secure border and trying to position themselves as the hawks and Republicans as obstructionists if the GOP opposes one particular bill. The latest example is MSNBC’s Al Sharpton suddenly calling the illegal immigration crisis an “invasion.”

Join Jim and Greg as they dissect horrible polling numbers for President Biden, an easy win for him in the South Carolina primary, and the absolute non-starter of a border security bill.
First, they dig through an NBC poll showing Biden not only trailing Donald Trump but getting trounced by large margins on issues ranging from border security to the economy to crime to America’s standing in the world. And the approval numbers for Vice President Kamala Harris are even worse than Biden’s.
They also shudder as the early warnings about the contents of a border security bill are proven accurate – from allowing nearly 5,000 illegal entries per day in perpetuity to liberally issued work permits for those waiting to have their alleged asylum claims ruled upon.
Finally, polling regularly shows that Democrats are leery about having President Biden as their nominee again in 2024 but you’d never know it by how easily he crushed his low-profile rivals in Saturday’s South Carolina primary. Turnout may have been exceedingly low, but it’s obvious that neither of his challengers provide much appeal for the base.

Join Jim and Greg as they dish up three big martinis today and update one from Tuesday.
Before the first martini, they respond to unnamed Trump advisers suggesting a “holy war” against Taylor Swift if she publicly endorses Biden. Instead of just ignoring it if that happens, the former president’s team seems committed to the worst possible strategy.
Then it’s on to the good martini as the House Homeland Security Committee approves two articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas, who has incessantly lied to the American people about the border being secure and under control – and has done nothing to stem the tide of people entering the U.S. ilegally.
Next, they get a kick out of an Iran-backed militia group, that was likely behind the deadly attack on U.S. forces in Jordan, saying it won’t attack any more so there’s no need for a U.S. military response. Sorry terrorists, it doesn’t work that way!
Finally, they recoil at prominent Silicon Valley figure Bryan Johnson not only trying to stay alive for hundreds of years, but now saying he wants us to “divorce from all human norms, all human customs, and all human thought” and turn us into “blank slates.”

There are no good martinis today but there are two very important bad ones and a crazy one too!
First, they dive into Texas Gov. Greg Abbott insisting that Texas will keep defending the border because the Biden administration has chosen not to, and he says the Constitution is clearly on his side. Meanwhile, some Democrats want President Biden to take federal control of the Texas National Guard because Abbott is allegedly defying an order from the U.S. Supreme Court.
Then they recoil at a new poll out of the West Bank. They expected a disturbingly high percentage of residents there to consider the October attacks by Hamas against Israel to be “legitimate resistance.” They were not ready for zero percent of them to say it was “illegitimate resistance.” How do you hope to ever reach any sort of stability when virtually all people there think what Hamas did was OK.
Finally, they scratch their heads as Donald Trump lashes out at Nikki Haley donors and says that, going forward, anyone who donates to her is banished from MAGA forever.

The New Hampshire primaries are in the books and we’ve got two martinis reviewing the votes and one other truly crazy idea.
First, they applaud Minnesota Rep. Dean Phillips for getting nearly 20 percent of the vote on the Democrats’ side even though the primary was non-binding. They also appreciate him being only one of the few Democrats bothering to speak with Trump supporters and not writing them off as unredeemable like President Biden often does.
Then they react to Donald Trump’s double-digit win over Nikki Haley in the Republican primary. And with Haley winning a large majority of unaffiliated voters, does this indicate that these voters are gettable for the GOP or were they just creating mischief?
Finally, they react to conflicting reports that Vladimir Putin is seeking to restore additional territory that once belonged to Russia – including Alaska.

Hey, we actually have a good martini today!
Join Jim and Greg as they welcome a new Harvard-Harris poll showing 80 percent of Americans support Israel against Hamas. But way too many voters aged 18-34 still think Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.
They also dig into Jim’s outstanding Morning Jolt from this morning, explaining how the Biden campaign and other Democrats are focusing the 2024 campaign on the notion that “democracy is at stake” and using it to avoid addressing many different failures of this administration.
Finally, their anger percolates as a World Economic Forum “agenda contributor” suggests drinking coffee is clearly damaging the Earth.

Listen to “EV Drivers Left in the Cold, Biden’s Obvious Decline, The War on Rat Traps” on Spreaker.
Join Jim and Greg as they serve up two bad martinis and an obvious crazy one!
First, they urge states and the federal government to slam the brakes on the electric vehicle movement after the recent cold snap found EV drivers in Chicago with rapidly depleting batteries, needing to constantly spend time recharging, with some left without functioning batteries at all.
Then they offer a double-fisted bad martini as President Biden shows more evidence he’s completely unfit for the presidency. They note his bewildering statement about airstrikes on the Houthis not stopping Houthi aggression in the Red Sea but insisting the strikes would continue anyway. Then he gives a speech mentioning that he just took a photo with a local congresswoman only to remember a moment later that the lawmaker wasn’t even there.
Finally, they have fun with California Rep. Ted Lieu leading America in the charge against…glue traps to catch rodents. Jim wonders what’s really behind the legislation and the whole farce reminds them of a campaign from years ago.

Undisputed King of Stuff, columnist, and longtime Ricochet Editor-in-Chief Jon Gabriel is in for Jim today. He and Greg have three doozies for martinis today.
First, they loudly cheer new Argentina President Javier Milei for going to the World Economic Forum in Davos and boldly championing free markets and denouncing excessive government regulation and collectivist policies. Why aren’t more American conservatives able to defend freedom and condemn government intrusion so well?
Next, they hammer the FBI for snooping on our purchases and searches (without warrants of course) and apparently determining that people who shop at Cabela’s, read the Bible, or support Donald Trump are some sort of threat.
Finally, they roll their eyes and unload on a few House Republicans for threatening to boot House Speaker Mike Johnson for agreeing to another continuing resolution on federal spending. The frustration is certainly understandable but, for multiple reasons, simple math tells us that vacating the chair won’t solve anything.
