Paging Hezbollah, Hillary Demands More Anti-Trump Media, Are Teamsters Two-Timing Trump?
Join Jim and Greg as they discuss many Hezbollah figures being injured by exploding pagers, Hillary Clinton demanding a more negative media “narrative” about Donald Trump, and the Teamsters Union on the brink of an endorsement.
First, they marvel once again at the ingenuity of (probably) Israeli operatives getting explosives into pagers, the pagers into the hands of thousands of Hezbollah figures, and then detonating them simultaneously. It’s the latest in a very creative summer for Israeli intelligence…or whoever carried out these attacks.
Next, they groan as Hillary Clinton is back in public demanding the media carry out a more “consistent narrative” of how “dangerous” Donald Trump is and the threat he allegedly poses to the country and the world. She also continues to blame her 2016 loss to Trump on Russian disinformation. And in addition to confronting international political mischief, Hillary also called for civil and criminal prosecution for Americans found disseminating what she considers misinformation or disinformation.
Finally, they shake their heads at the apparent likelihood that the Teamsters Union will offer an endorsement this week and that Kamala Harris seems more likely to get the nod based on what union boss Sean O’Brien is saying. If that happens, Jim says Republicans should learn a big lesson from handing over a critical hour on the first night of the convention to a guy who bashed right to work and business leaders.

Chris Christie’s Bizarre Exit, Inflation Is Still Too High, DeSantis & Haley Duke It Out
Join Jim and Greg as they break down the biggest developments in the presidential race, stubbornly high inflation, and a pivotal day in sports.
First, they dissect former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s decision to suspend his 2024 presidential campaign but not endorse anyone else and trash Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley in addition to Donald Trump.
They also cringe as the December inflation numbers come in higher than expected and the year-over-year numbers are still unhealthy.
Then they analyze the final GOP primary debate as DeSantis and Haley hammer each other instead of President Biden or even their own party’s frontrunner.
Finally, they note the end of a coaching era in pro and college football.

White House Press Office Tensions, Red China & the Red Sea, ISIS vs. Iran
Listen to “White House Press Office Tensions, Red China & the Red Sea, ISIS vs. Iran” on Spreaker.
We’ve made it to the first Friday of 2024! And Jim and Greg are ready to serve up three martinis – right after Greg shares a fantastic ‘Die Hard’ story.
They start the martinis on the lighter side by reacting to an Axios story outlining tensions in the White House press office as Karine Jean-Pierre and John Kirby split duties in the press room and neither one is particularly is happy about it.
Then they did into Jim’s reporting on the Houthi militia causing so much havoc in the Red Sea that several major shipping companies are refusing to risk attacks and taking the long way to the west around the southern cape of Africa. This will add to the prices we pay for the goods on board. But Jim also points out that Chinese ships are getting a free pass from the terrorists into the Red Sea.
Finally, they also note this week’s ISIS terrorist attacks against Iran at the memorial service for Gen. Soleimani. The blast killed 80 people and injured more than 280 others. Jim and Greg have similar reactions to the news but offer completing ideas to how the U.S. should approach hostilities between two detestable entities.

Hunter’s Felony Charges, UAW Strikes, Trump Interview Normalizes Fascism?
Listen to “Hunter’s Felony Charges, UAW Strikes, Trump Interview Normalizes Fascism?” on Spreaker.
Join Jim and Greg as they react to Special Counsel David Weiss announcing three felony indictments against Hunter Biden on gun crimes. What will happen next? They also keep a close eye on United Auto Workers members walking off the job against General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis (formerly Fiat-Chrysler). What does this say about the confidence of organized labor? And is the Biden administration on a collision course between labor unions and the green agenda? Finally, Jim unloads on lefty media critcism of new “Meet the Press” host Kristen Welker interviewing Donald Trump, with one saying it helped “normalize fascism.”

Dems Choose Chicago, Ukraine’s Gloomy Forecast, Worsening Drug Shortages
Listen to “Dems Choose Chicago, Ukraine’s Gloomy Forecast, Worsening Drug Shortages” on Spreaker.
Battle Over Billionaires, America’s Shrinking Navy, Biden’s Tall Tales
Listen to “Battle Over Billionaires, America’s Shrinking Navy, Biden’s Tall Tales” on Spreaker.
Join Jim and Greg as they cheer former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz for pushing back against Sen. Bernie Sanders and other Democrats for trying to demonize him because he’s a billionaire. Schultz explains how the American dream allowed him to rise from humble beginnings to achieve great wealth – a story Sanders had no interest in hearing of course. They also shudder at multiple reports that the Biden administration’s Navy budget proposal doesn’t even keep up with inflation, we’re retiring vessels critical to deterring Chinese aggression, and within five years China’s navy will have 150 more ships than we do. Finally, they roll their eyes as President Biden acts like he’s an honorary member of another ethnicity – this time it’s the Greeks.
Biden’s Sinking Polls, Dems Defending TikTok, Sinema’s Curious Strategy
Listen to “Biden’s Sinking Polls, Dems Defending TikTok, Sinema’s Curious Strategy” on Spreaker.
Join Jim and Greg as they welcome a new Associated Press poll showing Americans can clearly see President Biden’s weak performance on the economy and his overall job performance. They also groan as the CEO of TikTok tries to dodge questions about whether the app is spying on users and TikTok’s connection to the Chinese Communist Party. Plus, they hammer the Democrats for glibly opposing the effort to crack down on TikTok after agreeing to ban it on government devices last year. Finally, they break down Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema’s strategy of cozying up to the right in advance of a likely 2024 re-election bid.
Media Cover for Dems, Biden Doc Conspiracy Theory, Targeting Mitch Daniels
Listen to “Media Cover for Dems, Biden Doc Conspiracy Theory, Targeting Mitch Daniels” on Spreaker.
Join Jim and Greg as they serve up a bad martini and a couple of crazy ones. First, they sigh as the mainstream press does damage control for the Democrats. Axios contends that Transportation Sec. Pete Buttigieg is just the victim of unfortunate circumstances and Republicans are the real problem for pouncing on his problems. Meanwhile, CNN chalks up the Biden classified document problem to the unease of Trump coming to the White House. They also get a kick out of Georgia Democrat Hank Johnson, who once worried that America’s military presence on Guam might cause the island to tip over, openly suggesting that the classified documents were planted in Biden’s office and garage. Finally, Jim fires back at the Club for Growth for launching an attack as against possible Indiana GOP Senate hopeful Mitch Daniels that greatly distorts his record as Indiana governor and president of Purdue University.
GOP Plans China Focus, Trafalgar’s Bold Theory, Twitter’s ‘Fact-Checking’
Listen to “GOP Plans China Focus, Trafalgar’s Bold Theory, Twitter’s ‘Fact-Checking'” on Spreaker.
Join Jim and Greg as they cheer House Republicans for planning to shine a bright spotlight on China’s many atrocities at home and abroad – from pushing fentanyl into the U.S. to supply chain vulnerability to the persecution of the Uighurs. They also discuss the unique polling approach of the Trafalgar surveys and what it will mean if Republican voters are even more reticent to say who they support but are more determined than ever to vote. And they sigh as Twitter promises ramped-up “fact-checking” that will ramp up before the midterms.
