Red States & the Economy, State Dept. IG Probes Biden’s Iran Envoy, Egypt Fed Up with Hamas
Please pause your celebrations of Benjamin Harrison and James Buchanan on this Presidents Day and join Jim and Greg for good, bad, and crazy martinis.
First, after a few opening thoughts on how celebrating Washington and Lincoln has now been diluted into recognizing all presidents and how we can reverse this, Jim and Greg dig into an ABC News report on how the strongest states economically are predominantly red states. However, the story spends much more time asserting that better weather and progressive cities in red states are the key to success and attracting more businesses and employees. However, the real reasons are simple: lower taxes, right to work laws, and less regulation.
They also welcome a more formal State Department Inspector General investigation into the rather abrupt dismissal and stripping of security clearance for Biden’s Iran envoy, Robert Malley. The Semafor story breaking the news also lays out red flags concerning Malley before Biden even took office.
Finally, they welcome Egypt’s foreign minister getting fed up with Hamas for refusing to recognize Israel and failing to renounce its genocidal tactics in order to bring a ceasefire to the area.
And please enjoy the Presidents Day special Jim and I did about four underappreciated presidents back in 2020. https://www.spreaker.com/episode/america-s-underappreciated-presidents–22780285

Trump Tax Leaker Imprisoned, Biden Donors Get First Iran Thoughts, A Swift-Kelce Psy-Op?
Join Jim and Greg today for the return of the good martini, a very important bad one, and a highly-spirited crazy martini that either indicates a sinister left-wing plot, the rescue of Western Civilization, or just maybe, something in between.
First, they are pleasantly surprised to see a serious prosecution and sentencing for the IRS contractor who leaked President Trump tax returns to the media.
Then, they’re a bit puzzled as to why the Pentagon is so sure that Iran doesn’t want war with the U.S. But Jim also fumes as President Biden refuses to make any public statement on American forces being killed by Iranian proxies but will likely address it and the U.S. response to donors at a private dinner tonight in Florida.
Finally, Jim and Greg address the notion that the Taylor Swift-Travis Kelce relationship is a psychological operation orchestrated by Democrats and is designed to help Biden get re-elected. They explain why the psy-op theory doesn’t hold up, which cynical theory makes more sense, and what to conclude if the relationship is genuine.

Hertz Sees Reality on EV’s, Dems Refuse to Learn Tax Lessons, Chicago Schools Computer Mess
They also groan as blue states refuse to learn the lesson that higher taxes make people leave for states with better tax policies. Instead, they just jack up tax rates even more to try to compensate for the lost revenues.
Finally, they laugh and shake their heads as Chicago Public Schools lose 77,000 laptops and other devices in one school year at tremendous cost to the taxpayers. And that’s just the beginning of the insanity!

Tax Cuts & Surpluses, Kindergarten-Level Cabinet Memo, Phillips’ Lonely Campaign Stop
Join Jim and Greg as they serve up martinis from Iowa and beyond.
First, Jim’s excellent reporting uncovers a major surplus for the Iowa government and how GOP Gov. Kim Reynolds is eyeing additional tax cuts. Meanwhile, the high taxing states like California, Maryland, New York, and Massachusetts are running significant deficits.
Then they roll their eyes at the kindergarten-level treatment White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients is forced to extend to cabinet secretaries. Zients is circulating a memo telling officials they need to tell someone if they will be unable to do their jobs for any stretch of time. But they also hammer Defense Sec. Lloyd Austin for making this embarrassing step necessary.
Finally, they have some fun with Minnesota Rep. Dean Phillips, after he hosts an event in New Hampshire that literally no voters bothered to attend.

SCOTUS & the Trump Ballot Fight, Feds Waste Billions on EV Chargers, FBI HQ Funny Business
Happy New Year! Well, after nearly two weeks since our last regular episode, we have found nothing resembling a good martini. Not the greatest omen for 2024. But we do have three important bad martinis, at least one of which has a whole lot of crazy to it as well.
First, they weigh in on the Maine Secretary of State unilaterally deciding that former President Trump is disqualified from this year’s primary ballot. Plus, they respond to Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin – himself an election denier in 2016 – stating that Justice Clarence Thomas must recuse himself from any decisions on Trump’s ballot access and hinting that there may be consequences if he doesn’t.
They’re also disgusted (but not at all surprised) that Congress spent $7.5 billion to produce 500,000 electric vehicle chargers and so far, it either has one or none to show for it. Jim also breaks down how this is another example of how why free market is far better than central planning.
Finally, Jim details the shady decision by a Biden official to overrule the unanimous recommendation to build the new FBI headquarters in Virginia and award it to Maryland instead.

Youngkin Targets the Car Tax, Colorado Bars Trump from the Ballot, Kirby’s Afghanistan Revisionism
Join Jim and Greg as they cheer Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin for making a strong case to permanently kill the horrible car tax that resident have to pay every year simply for owning a car. But will the idea go anywhere with Democrats controlling the legislature?
Then they dig into the Colorado Supreme Court’s decision to ban Donald Trump from the 2024 Republican primary ballot because he allegedly led an insurrection, and that disqualifies him under the 14th Amendment to the Constitution. But with no criminal charges of insurrection and a political acquittal, does the court have any grounds to do this? The U.S. Supreme Court will decide.
They also blast White House National Security Council Spokesman John Kirby for trying to convince us that we really didn’t leave tens of billions worth of military equipment behind in Afghanistan.
Finally, be sure to catch Jim and Greg handing out their prestigious 3 Martini Lunch Awards starting Thursday and running through the end of the year. They’ll reveal their choices for the most overrated and underrated political figures, rising political stars and figures fading into oblivion, beast and worst political ideas, best and worst political theater, and overreported and underreported stories of the year. At the end of next week, they will announce their choices for Person of the Year, Turncoat of the Year, and make predictions for 2024. Join us tomorrow for all of the fun!

Milei Slashes Argentina Agencies, Jackson Lee Trounced in Houston, Enlightening Middle East Poll
Join Jim and Greg serve up three good martinis to start the week. First, they watch new Argentinian President Javier Milei with great interest, especially after he shuttered 12 of 21 government ministries on his first day in office. What impact will these libertarian principles have on the nation and beyond?
They also breathe a sigh of relief for Houston, Texas. While they have no great expectations for incoming Mayor John Whitmire, they’re glad that voters rejected longtime far left Texas Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee by a wide margin.
Finally, they discuss a survey of college students showing 86 percent support the phrase “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.” Yet only 47 percent know which river and sea are involved. And the good news is that the vast majority of students who realized that the chant implies the eradication of Israel then oppose it.
