Where Trump Needs to Focus, Kamala’s Empty Campaign, Impact of the Switch

by

Listen to “Where Trump Needs to Focus, Kamala’s Empty Campaign, Impact of the Switch” on Spreaker.

Jim and Greg are getting an early start on Labor Day weekend, so their assessment of the Kamala Harris CNN interview will have to wait for another day. Instead, they examine the state of both campaigns and what the long term impact of the DNC switching candidates will be on future election cycles.

First, they look at the Trump campaign and the massive opportunity and challenge facing the Trump-Vance ticket. They stress that Trump has a huge advantage if he stays on message about the disaster that has unfolded on the watch of both Harris and President Biden. From the border to inflation to an unstable world to the left’s radical cultural agenda, the path to victory is right there. But can Trump stay disciplined enough to focus on that all the way to the finish line?

Next, they examine the Harris campaign and it’s ongoing effort to make this an election about history, momentum, and joy rather than anything substantive. So far Harris has abandoned more positions than she has established in this campaign, and Democrats are actively encouraging her not to get more specific in order to attract more voters. Can this empty approach actually work?

Finally, they consider how the Dems’ swapping out Biden for Harris might impact future election cycles. There is clearly an advantage to avoid a grueling two-year campaign and making a three-month sprint to Election Day. So will we see shorter primary seasons or some other new approach as the parties seek the upper hand?

Kari Lake Getting Swamped, The Vanishing President, Biden Nixed Gaza Pier Objections

by

Listen to “Kari Lake Getting Swamped, The Vanishing President, Biden Nixed Gaza Pier Objections” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg for what Jim is describing as the “we told you so” edition of 3 Martini Lunch! Today, they discuss a new poll showing Kari Lake getting crushed in the Arizona U.S. Senate race, the public disappearance of President Biden, and a report showing Biden overruled his advisers in insisting upon the ill-fated Gaza pier.

First, they sigh as a new Fox News poll shows far-left Rep. Ruben Gallego leading Republican Kari Lake by 15 points in the Arizona Senate race. Even if the poll is a bit of an outlier, other surveys show Lake trailing by high single digits. The GOP should be able to field very competitive candidates in Arizona, but Kari Lake is not one of them.

Next, they wonder whatever happened to the guy who is apparently still the president. Biden seems to be in the witness protection program since dropping out of the presidential race, with the exception of his late night convention speech. So is he actually on the job?

Finally, they shake their heads as an inspector general’s report shows that USAID officials tried to convince Biden not to construct the Gaza pier because even small waves would render it useless. But Biden rejected their advice and went forward with the operation anyway.

Kamala’s CNN Interview, Left Ignores Huge Oil Spill, Politico’s Preposterous Partisanship

by

Listen to “Kamala’s CNN Interview, Left Ignores Huge Oil Spill, Politico’s Preposterous Partisanship” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they discuss what to expect from Kamala Harris, Tim Walz, and Dana Bash now that Harris is finally agreeing to an interview. They also weigh in on Democrats and environmentalists ignoring a massive oil spill in the Red Sea caused by Iranian proxies and Politico being horrified that JD Vance is connecting Harris to the performance of the Biden administration.

First, Jim is glad to see Harris finally agree to any interview after 37 days of ducking formal, on-camera interviews and press conferences. He and Greg also consider how CNN’s Dana Bash will approach the event and which questions need to be asked.

Next, they scratch their heads as the Biden administration, national Democrats and prominent environmental groups remain awfully quiet after the Iran-backed Houthis attacked an oil tanker in the Red Sea, triggering an exponentially bigger spill than the Exxon Valdez suffered back in 1989.

Finally, they hammer Politico for reporting that GOP vice presidential nominee JD Vance “tries to tether Harris to Biden during Michigan rally.” Uh, she’s the sitting Vice President of the United States. And Jim and Greg remark on how the media and the left are trying to convince Americans that Harris has no political past or involvement in the very unpopular policies of the Biden presidency.

Dems & Wisconsin, Feds & Facebook, Kamala & the Wall, The Taliban & Your Tax Dollars

by

Listen to “Dems & Wisconsin, Feds & Facebook, Kamala & the Wall, The Taliban & Your Tax Dollars” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they squeeze four stories into today’s podcast, from the DNC’s absurd efforts to undermine democracy in Wisconsin to Mark Zuckerberg admitting the FBI, the White House and other federal entities pressured him over online speech and from Kamala Harris tacitly backing a border wall to the return of repression and terrorist safe havens in Afghanistan.

Before the official martinis, they highlight how Democrats are trying to limit voters’ options ahead of the presidential election. The Wisconsin Supreme Court has thankfully dismissed a lawsuit trying to kick the Green Party’s Jill Stein off the ballot in the Badger State. And it has to be one of the dumbest arguments for removing a candidate that we’ve ever heard.

Then, they react to Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg admitting to House Republicans that the Biden administration urged him to censor COVID-19 content on Facebook, including humor and satire. And the FBI pre-emptively told him to be on the lookout for “Russian disinformation” about the Biden family and Burisma, so he was predisposed to spike the story of the Hunter Biden laptop when it was reported in the NY Post.

Next, they assess an Axios story that suggests Kamala Harris has flip-flopped again, this time embracing a border wall since she’s on the record backing the Senate immigration bill. This change in policy is not something her staffers have announced, but it’s another sign she is running to the middle despite her long radical record – and its happening while Democrats are planning a very progressive agenda in Congress with her full blessing.

Finally, they wince as the Taliban reimpose some of the most repressive policies against women just as we mark three years since the disastrous Biden withdrawal from Afghanistan. Jim also points out terrorist groups, including Al Qaeda, are thriving there again. And all of it happening with your tax dollars.

RFK vs. Democrats, Cotton vs. Kamala & Her Media Allies, Trump’s Vow vs. His Pro-Life Legacy

by

Listen to “RFK vs. Democrats, Cotton vs. Kamala & Her Media Allies, Trump’s Vow vs. His Pro-Life Legacy” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they serve up two good martinis and a definite bad one as they note RFK Jr.’s strong case for how Democrats trampled all over democracy in this election cycle, Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton refusing to let ABC News promote a false pro-Kamala narrative, and Donald Trump trying to cozy up to the pro-abortion crowd.

First, they discuss Robert F. Kennedy Jr. dropping off the ballot in ten competitive states and endorsing Donald Trump. And while there is plenty to be skeptical about with respect to Kennedy, he delivered a strong indictment of the Democrats for squashing any attempt to challenge Joe Biden for the party nomination and keeping Kennedy and other candidates off the ballot for the general election.

Next, they applaud Sen. Cotton for his masterful rejection of Harris talking points coming from Jonathan Karl of ABC News. As Cotton pointed out radical Harris positions from the 2020 campaign, like abolishing private health insurance, Karl interjected to say Harris no longer holds that position. Cotton refused to let Karl (or Harris) get away with that.

Finally, they fume as Trump vows on social media that “my administration will be great for women and their reproductive rights.” After scoring the biggest pro-life win in half a century, Trump is focusing on trying to coax some pro-abortion voters to his side while just assuming pro-life voters won’t care and will show up for him as strongly as ever.

The DNC’s Absurd Reinvention of Kamala Harris

by

Listen to “The Absurd Reinvention of Kamala Harris” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they react to Kamala Harris accepting the Democratic nomination on Thursday night. They examine her promise to be a president who will always put country over party, her vow to create an economy of opportunity, and her approach to the Middle East and other national security issues.
First, they note how the Harris campaign is trying to replay the Obama strategy of staying vague on policy and denouncing the intense political rancor and division that she has been aggressively inflaming for the past eight years.  The problem for Harris is that her record of far-left policies and partisan rhetoric is far more extensive than Obama’s was in 2008.
Next, they contrast Kamala’s call for an “economic opportunity” agenda with her many earlier statements about the need for equity and “equal outcomes.” They also mention her disingenuous stance on immigration and the border crisis and explain how one aspect of Thursday’s convention story is a perfect metaphor for the left’s rhetoric vs. the left’s actions.
Finally, they dig into Harris speaking on the Middle East crisis, as she delivered the most intense administration denunciation of the Hamas terrorist attacks in months – and then turned around and insisted there needs to be a Palestinian state.

Biden’s Tiresome Rant, DNC’s Lousy Logistics, Jill & Nancy Spin Joe’s Exit

by

Listen to “Biden’s Tiresome Rant, DNC’s Lousy Logistics, Jill & Nancy Spin Joe’s Exit” on Spreaker.

Jim is back today, joining the podcast from the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. Today, Jim and Greg dissect Biden’s angry & often false speech, the Democrats running way behind schedule at the convention, & Jill Biden and Nancy Pelosi offering very different explanations for why Biden abandoned his re-election bid.

First, they break down Biden’s long, loud speech that was full of debunked accusations and major distortions about his record. From his performance on border security to COVID & schools to job creation, Biden played fast & loose with the truth and, of course, had more than a few moments of mangling his words.

Next, they’re stunned at how badly run the first night of the DNC was. Jim explains what a hassle it was for media and delegates to get into the arena. And then, Democrats scheduled a bunch of barely known figures to speak past the prime time window. Did Democrats intentionally shove Joe to a time the viewership would be dwindling?

Finally, they get a kick out of the very different explanations given last night for why Biden dropped his re-election bid, with First Lady Jill Biden stating that Joe made the decision after looking “deep into his soul” and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi admitting she “did what I had to do” but insisting that Joe made his own decision.

Dems Retreat from Price Controls, Free Abortions at the DNC, Dems Want No Specifics from Kamala

by

Listen to “Dems Retreat from Price Controls, Free Abortions at the DNC, Dems Want No Specifics from Kamala” on Spreaker.

Jon Gabriel, the Undisputed King of Stuff and columnist for Discourse magazine and the Arizona Republic is in for Jim. Today, Jon and Greg remember daytime talk show host Phil Donahue, get a kick out of Democrats inching away from Kamala’s price control plans, condemn Planned Parenthood for offering free abortions and vasectomies near the Democratic National Convention, and react to Democrats not wanting any policy specifics from Kamala Harris until after the election. And they share what they wish Joe Biden would say in his convention speech tonight.
First, they offer a quick remembrance of Phil Donahue, the far left daytime talk show host who nonetheless wanted to have substantive conversations with people he disagreed with.
Next, they enjoy watching Democrats like Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer squirm when asked to defend the price controls on food proposed by Kamala Harris. They also stress what a terrible idea it is to think the government should be tasked with solving  inflation problem with more intervention.
Then, they recoil in horror as Planned Parenthood offers to provide free abortions and vasectomies at its mobile clinic near the Dems’ convention site. Worse yet, the schedule for both filled up quickly. Greg and Jon express their disgust at how cavalierly the left discards precious human life and how it uses that disdain to push forward its political agenda.
Finally, they examine the Dems being perfectly happy to let Kamala avoid specifics on issues until after the election. It shows how afraid they are if voters know just how radical their agenda. They also look ahead to President Biden’s convention speech tonight – both what it probably will include and what they really, really wish he would say about the intraparty plot to end his re-election bid.

Kamala & Price Controls, Trump & the Medal of Honor, Clueless Biden Corrected Again

by

Listen to “Kamala & Price Controls, Trump & the Medal of Honor, Clueless Biden Corrected Again” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they take the current president and both major party nominees to task today. They unload on Kamala’s proposed government intrusion into the economy, Trump’s cavalier comparison involving the Medal of Honor, and Biden’s staff having to explain yet again that what Biden said isn’t administration policy.

First, they review more specifics from Vice President Harris’s economic plan to reduce the cost of food, housing and more. They explain that the money she wants to give first-time homebuyers will only drive up prices – due to the infusion of money and higher demand. And they tee off on her plans to tell companies how much they are allowed to charge. And one of Jim’s fellow Washington Post columnists – who is not on the political right – pulls no punches on condemning the agenda.

Next, they address Donald Trump honoring donor Miriam Adelson by reflecting on the time he awarded her with the Presidential Medal of Freedom. In doing so, he compared that award with the Medal of Honor and remarked that the Presidential Medal of Freedom is “actually much better” because the Medal of Honor recipients are “either in very bad shape because they’ve been hit so many times by bullets or they’re dead” and Mrs. Adelson is “a healthy, beautiful woman.”

Finally, they rip the listless, lame duck presidency of Joe Biden, who once again wandered off script with the media – this time on Venezuela. And his national security staff once had to come out and tell us to ignore what the president just said.

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.
