Trump’s Controversial Cabinet Picks, GOP’s Tight House Majority, State Dept.’s ‘Cry Sessions’

November 25, 2024 by GregC

Listen to “Trump’s Controversial Cabinet Picks, GOP’s Tight House Majority, State Dept.’s ‘Cry Sessions'” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg on 3 Martini Lunch as they break down two bad martinis and a crazy one to kick off the week. They dig into two controversial Trump cabinet picks, a razor-thin GOP House majority, and the State Department’s taxpayer-funded therapy sessions after Trump’s win.

First, they assess Trump’s latest cabinet picks, praising Russ Vought for Office of Management and Budget and Dr. Marty Makary for the Food and Drug Administration, while expressing major concerns about Lori Chavez-DeRemer as Secretary of Labor due to her anti-Right to Work stance and Scott Bessent for Treasury, given his ties to George Soros.

Next, they analyze the very narrow House Republican majority in the coming Congress, with three races still unresolved and three looming GOP vacancies. They explain why this slim margin leaves little room for defections or other unexpected setbacks over the next two years.

Finally, they react to reports of the State Department hosting therapy sessions, including a “cry session,” for employees struggling to cope with Trump’s victory—on the taxpayers’ dime. Jim calls for lefties to gain a little perspective on dealing with election results, while Greg suggests clearing out partisan bureaucrats in supposedly neutral roles.

DNC Walz vs. The Real Walz, The Dems’ Freedom Fiction, What Bad Jobs Report?

August 22, 2024 by GregC

Listen to “DNC Walz vs. The Real Walz, The Dems’ Freedom Fiction, What Bad Jobs Report?” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they discuss the third night of the Democratic National Convention and more. They comment on Bill Clinton’s decline, the fictional Tim Walz highlighted at the DNC vs. the one with a real & disturbing record as governor, the Dems projecting the fantasy that they are the party of freedom, and Biden’s commerce secretary giving a bizarre reaction to a lousy jobs report.

First, after commenting on Clinton’s speech that was underwhelming and way too long, they dissect the “strikingly shameless” portrayal of Tim Walz as an everyman and good neighbor instead of the far left politician who coddled rioters, threatened anyone reluctant to take a Covid vaccine, added a Covid snitch line, and has had a cozy relationship with China for decades.

Next, they shake their heads as Democrat after Democrat pretended that they are the party of freedom and that Republicans are the party of federal intrusion into our lives. And yet, there’s only a couple of “freedoms” that they really care about and got repeated over and over Wednesday night.

Finally, they laugh as Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo accuses Donald Trump of issuing the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) report showing the government overestimated the number of jobs created over the past year by 818,000. When confronted with the truth, Raimondo claimed she was not aware of the report.

Harris Picks Walz, Why Markets Are Volatile, Why You Shouldn’t Panic

August 6, 2024 by GregC

Listen to “Harris Picks Walz, Why Markets Are Volatile, Why You Shouldn’t Panic” on Spreaker.

Brian Wesbury, Chief Economist at First Trust LP and the former Chief Economist for the Joint Economic Committee of Congress, is in for Jim. Today, Brian and Greg dissect Kamala Harris choosing Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate and why it may be a gift to the GOP. Brian also explains why the markets are in turmoil right now, why you shouldn’t panic over it, and more.

First, they respond to the breaking news that Harris-Walz will be the ticket for Democrats in 2024. They explain why this is the furthest left ticket in recent memory and why it gives Donald Trump and JD Vance ample opportunities to expose how far out of the mainstream Harris and Walz really are. And they discuss the Walz record in Minnesota – from his disastrous handling of the 2020 riots to his far left economic and social positions.

Next, Brian goes through the factors leading to the major volatility in world markets over the past several days. He says we are largely paying the price for terrible policies enacted during the Covid pandemic and he says the “morphine” is finally wearing off. But there are other important factors as well, and Brian tells us why he thinks the U.S. is headed into a recession but nothing close to a 2008-level crisis.

Finally, Brian explains why investors should not panic during this market turmoil and what the smartest government response would be.

The Bill of Rights Does Not Protect the Government, It Protects Us from the Government

March 19, 2024 by GregC

Listen to “The Bill of Rights Is Not to Protect the Government, But to Protect Us from the Government” on Spreaker.

Former Chief Assistant U.S. Attorney and National Review Contributing Editor Andy McCarthy is in for Jim. Andy joins Greg at a perfect time to break down three big legal stories.

First, they react to Monday’s oral arguments at the U.S. Supreme Court about whether the government can pressure social media platforms to delete or reduce visibility for posts containing what the government deems misinformation or disinformation.

And they specifically recoil as Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson worries that ruling against the feds will end up having “the First Amendment hamstringing the government in significant ways in the most important time periods.” Andy and Greg stress that is the whole point of the First Amendment, and Andy explains the left’s very disturbing trend of trying to make courts believe the Bill of Rights applies to the government the same way it does to individuals.

Next, they look at Donald Trump’s dilemma in New York City, where the former president says he cannot post the $454 million bond in the judgment against him in the civil fraud trial. Andy says this is an unusual case in that there are no alleged victims and he explains why the size of the judgment is absurdly high.

Finally, they react to Washington state no longer requiring prospective attorneys to pass the bar exam, saying the test “disproportionally and unnecessarily blocks” marginalized groups from becoming attorneys. Andy may surprise you with his opinion about the necessity of the bar exam but he does worry about where the rationale for this change will eventually lead.

Americans Overwhelmingly Back Israel, Biden’s ‘Democracy’ Smokescreen, Now Coffee is Ruining the Planet?

January 23, 2024 by GregC

Listen to “Americans Overwhelmingly Back Israel, Biden’s ‘Democracy’ Smokescreen, Now Coffee is Ruining the Planet?” on Spreaker.

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.

Biden’s Big Trouble with the Base, U.S. Still Too Soft on Houthis, Clueless in Tampa

January 17, 2024 by GregC

Listen to “Biden’s Big Trouble with the Base, U.S. Still Too Soft on Houthis, Clueless in Tampa” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg for good and bad martinis focused on politics and world affairs followed by a fun crazy martini!

After briefly congratulating Asa Hutchinson for finally recognizing reality and ending his White House bid, they dig into new poll numbers in the swing state of Georgia showing President Biden eight points behind Donald Trump and even doing very badly among women and black voters. His negatives are sky high and some usually reliable Democrats say they plan to stay home.

Then they bang their heads on their desks as the Biden administration finally decides to label the Iran-backed Houthis as terrorists (as they were during the Trump years) but Biden is applying a different terrorist label that carries much less harsh consequences than the previous designation did.

Finally, they take a bit of a break from politics to get a laugh from yesterday’s press conference in Tampa, as a reporter asks Buccaneers Head Coach Todd Bowles if he has plans acclimate his team for cold weather when it plays in Detroit on Sunday – apparently having no idea that Detroit has played indoors since 1975.

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

September 13, 2023 by GregC

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?

Latest Trump Indictment, U.S. Debt Downgraded, Empty Federal Offices

August 2, 2023 by GregC

Listen to “Latest Trump Indictment, U.S. Debt Downgraded, Empty Federal Offices” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they react to the four-count indictment of Donald Trump alleging he defrauded the nation and conspired against rights and official government proceedings. They also cringe as Fitch downgrades U.S. debt from a AAA rating to AA+ due to our growing debt, the lack of a plan to deal with it, and intense political infighting. Finally, they throw up their hands as a new government report shows the vast majority of agency headquarters in D.C. remain empty – but you pay for them anyway.
Timestamps:
0:06 – Trump indicted again – this time they are connected to January 6th and efforts to overturn the 2020 election results.
7:23 – Fitch downgrades U.S. debt from AAA to AA+.
12:29 – Massive amounts of government office space in D.C. remains unused.

Feds Punish Good Credit Scores, Americans Stuck in Sudan, RFK Jr.’s Radicalism

April 21, 2023 by GregC

Listen to “Feds Punish Good Credit Scores, Americans Stuck in Sudan, RFK Jr.’s Radicalism” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they once again offer bad and crazy martinis. First, they fume over upcoming changes to mortgage fees that will force homebuyers with really good credit scores to pay more so that buyers with shaky credit scores have lower costs. They also shake their heads as once again the Biden State Department is caught off guard by a civil war where it’s too late to evacuate Americans – this time in Sudan. Finally, as 14 percent of Americans who voted for President Biden last time now support Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Jim unloads on Kennedy and explains why his candidacy is not good for America.

Biden’s Sinking Polls, Dems Defending TikTok, Sinema’s Curious Strategy

March 23, 2023 by GregC

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.
