Kamala’s Economic Gaslighting, Walz’s Drunk Driving Episode, Another Secret Service Blunder

by

Listen to “Kamala’s Economic Gaslighting, Walz’s Drunk Driving Episode, Another Secret Service Blunder” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they still struggle to locate a good martini. Instead, they highlight how Kamala Harris is trying to gaslight Americans about why everything costs so much, the details surrounding Tim Walz’s drunk driving arrest back in the ’90s, and a Secret Service agent found missing from her post just moments before Trump’s arrival at a rally in North Carolina.

First, they note Vice President Harris, just like President Biden, is blaming high prices on greedy, gouging companies instead of their reckless spending and other inflationary policies. They give Harris a quick review of why costs skyrocketed in the first couple years of the Biden-Harris administration and why demonizing corporate America is not going to help at all.

Next, they dig into the details of Tim Walz’s 1995 drunk driving arrest for going 96 MPH in a 55 MPH zone. In addition to documenting that Walz lied about it as recently as his 2006 congressional campaign. Jim also points to the final days of the 2000 presidential election to prove that drunk driving arrests can cause serious problems many years later.

Finally, they groan as a Secret Service agent was discovered to be away from her post without permission just minutes before Donald Trump arrived for a rally because she was breastfeeding her baby. While they love kids, Jim and Greg don’t think bringing kids to your protective detail is a very good idea. And they are stunned that anyone in the Secret Service would be cutting any corners right now.

GOP Ousting Another Speaker? The Left’s WNBA Pay Grievance, Can’t Say ‘Illegal Alien’

by

Listen to “GOP Ousting Another Speaker? The Left’s WNBA Pay Grievance, Can’t Say ‘Illegal Alien'” 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 three crazy martinis ranging from Capitol Hill to women’s sports to the high school classroom.

First, they sigh as some House Republicans vow to move forward on trying to remove House Speaker Mike Johnson over his handling of the House agenda – and what his critics call passing the Democrats’ agenda. There are valid criticisms of Johnson’s decisions, positions, and priorities on some issues, but what would removing another Speaker of the House accomplish now, when Republicans have an even smaller majority than they did when Johnson was elected?

Next, they roll their eyes as President Biden and others on the left try to pander to women by demanding WNBA players get equal pay with the men in the NBA. Of course the big wage disparity has nothing to do with the sex of the players but whether their league is profitable. The NBA makes billions of dollars each year. The WNBA has lost money for its entire existence.

Finally, they highlight the case of a North Carolina high school student who was suspended for three days for asking his teacher whether the word “alien” in his vocabulary lesson referred to space aliens or people who come into the U.S. with no green cards.

Youngkin Rejects Pot Shops, Hypocrisy Harms Women in NYC, The Trump-Endorsed Bible

by

Listen to “Youngkin Rejects Pot Shops, Hypocrisy Harms Women in NYC, The Trump-Endorsed Bible” on Spreaker.

Undisputed King of Stuff, columnist, and longtime Ricochet Editor-in-Chief Jon Gabriel is in for Jim today. Jon and Greg tackle one good martini and two crazy ones to close the week.

First, they cheer Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin for his veto binge on many bills passed by Democrats out of the legislature (although he should have vetoed more). In addition to nixing a minimum wage hike and numerous gun control measures, Youngkin also rejected legislation to legalize marijuana dispensaries. And Jon and Greg have plenty to say in support of Youngkin slamming the brakes on pot shops.

Next, they highlight the stunning hypocrisy by New York City Councilwoman Amanda Farias, who is lamenting that more men won’t step in to protect women from attackers in the city. But just last year, she publicly denounced Daniel Penny, the ex-Marine who subdued a man on the subway after making many menacing threats to other passengers. What did Farias think would happen when people doing the right thing get prosecuted?

Finally, while Jon and Greg highly endorse reading the Bible, they cringe as Donald Trump endorses Lee Greenwood’s God Bless the USA Bible and the website proudly proclaims that it’s the only Bible endorsed by Trump.

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.

Trump & Biden Roll on Super Tuesday, GOP Reaches California Senate Runoff, Sinema Calls It Quits

by

Listen to “Trump & Biden Roll on Super Tuesday, GOP Reaches California Senate Runoff, Sinema Calls It Quits” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they break down a big day in politics from Super Tuesday to the balance in the U.S. Senate.

First, they acknowledge what we all expected – that Donald Trump and Joe Biden would virtually lock up their respective nominations on Tuesday – punctuated by Nikki Haley suspending her campaign Wednesday morning. But they do note that bewildering win by Democrat Jason Palmer in American Samoa & highlight the smugness of the MSNBC panel over Virginia Republicans naming immigration as their top concern. And Jim explains how he would restructure the primary season so that more voters in more states would have a say while the campaign is still competitive.

Then they break down the results of the jungle primary in California. They’re disgusted that Adam Schiff not only advanced to the general election but will be the heavy favorite. They also note former Dodgers and Padres star Steve Garvey taking the second spot behind Schiff. And hey are very pleased to see far left Reps. Katie Porter and Barbara Lee lose and be out of Congress entirely next year.

Finally, they dissect the impact of Arizona Independent Sen. Kyrsten Sinema announcing she will not run for re-election this year. While still disagreeing with Sinema on most issues, they see her six years as somewhat of a pleasant surprise for her willingness to defend the legislative filibuster in the Senate. But they also note that a far left Dem is now likely favored to win her seat.

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.

Jewish Voters Bailing on Biden? Stubborn Food Inflation, Ezra Klein Tells Joe to Go

by

Listen to “Jewish Voters Bailing on Biden? Stubborn Food Inflation, Ezra Klein Tells Joe to Go” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg for three compelling martinis focusing on major 2024 headaches for Joe Biden, with a bit of relevant pop culture thrown in.
First, they’re stunned by a new Siena College poll showing Donald Trump ahead of Joe Biden by nine points among Jewish voters in New York. Given Biden’s 38-point win among Jewish voters four years ago, that would be a major shift in response to Biden’s handling of the Hamas terrorist attacks, the ensuing war, and the rampant anti-Semitism expressed on college campuses and beyond.
Next, they dig into the ever-worsening problem of food inflation. While year-over-year inflation is down from 40-year highs, we’re still paying for all of those increases. Plus, restaurant and grocery costs are still rising and having a very real, devastating impact on American families.
Finally, even lefty Ezra Klein is urging Biden to pack up and head off into retirement. Beyond the question of whether the president can do the job for another four years, Klein says Biden isn’t even in shape to campaign this year.
