Hunter Biden Pleads Guilty, Charging School Shooters’ Parents, GOP Senate Outlook

by

Listen to “Hunter Biden Pleads Guilty, Charging School Shooters’ Parents, GOP Senate Outlook” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg for three complicated martinis to close out the week. They discuss Hunter Biden deciding to plead guilty to federal tax charges, whether parents of school shooters ought to face criminal charges, and the forecast for this years U.S. Senate elections.
First, they focus on Hunter Biden abandoning his plan to go to trial and a subsequent plan to plead guilty without admitting guilt on federal tax charges. Now that he’s simply pleading guilty, what does that mean for sentencing, the chances his father pardons him and more? Jim says it’s all further proof of one thing – that the critics of Hunter Biden were right and Joe Biden and a lot of other Democrats and media apologists were wrong or flat out lying.
Second, they examine this week’s horrific, deadly school shooting at a Georgia high school and mull over whether officials are right to charge the shooter’s father with two counts of second degree murder and four counts of involuntary manslaughter for failing to keep guns away from his 14-year-old son who had already been evaluated as a possible threat. Are charges like this a good way to keep parents more vigilant and accountable for their kids’ actions and for their own actions or does criminal blame belong solely with the killer?
Finally, they examine the U.S. Senate map this year. And while odds look favorable for Republicans to reclaim a slim majority, there are several other seats held by Democrats which should be vulnerable. But so far the GOP challengers are consistently trailing.

The Debate is On, Russia & the Influencers, Kamala’s Continuous ‘No Comment’

by

Listen to “The Debate is On, Russia & the Influencers, Kamala’s Continuous ‘No Comment'” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they discuss Kamala Harris finally agreeing to debate Donald Trump next week, the DOJ’s indictment of Russians accused of paying online influencers in the U.S., and how Harris is refusing to take positions on key issues.

First, they’re glad that next week’s debate will go forward as scheduled after a lot of efforts to rework the agreement – from Trump demanding more debates to Harris insisting on unmuted microphones (which she failed to get). They explain the vapid reason Kamala wanted unmuted mics and whether this will be the final time she will take serious questions before Election Day.

Next, they react to the Justice Department’s indictment of two Russians accused of money laundering and failing to register as foreign agents. The indictment also refers to a lot of money being spent on a media company featuring six prominent online influencers here in the U.S. The indictment says those commentators had no knowledge of the arrangement and are not being charged. Defenders of the commentators allege this is simply a return to the government’s Russian collusion narrative from eight years ago.

Finally, they hammer Kamala Harris and her campaign for constantly dodging straightforward questions about her ever-evolving positions on many issues. The latest? Their refusal to say whether Harris would sign a legislative electric vehicle mandate that she sponsored while in the U.S. Senate.

China Infiltrates NY Government, Tucker Platforms WWII Lunacy, Reviewing ‘Reagan’

by

Listen to “China Infiltrates NY Government, Tucker Platforms WWII Lunacy, Reviewing ‘Reagan'” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they assess a high-ranking former New York government official getting charged with spying for China, Tucker Carlson platforming an “historian” pushing insane ideas about World War II, and the ‘Reagan’ movie.

First, they shake their heads as the former Deputy Chief of Staff to New York Gov. Kathy Hochul is charged with spying on behalf of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). They also roll their eyes that Hochul is shocked that the CCP would do such a thing, but they do appreciate her referring to Taiwan as a country.

Next, they unload on Tucker Carlson for hosting a long, nonconfrontational interview with an “historian” who contends that Winston Churchill is the “chief villain” of World War II and that the Holocaust was simply the response to the Nazis capturing so many Russian prisoners who would have otherwise starved to death.

Finally, they offer their reviews of “Reagan,” the new film depicting Reagan’s lifelong crusade against Soviet communism from Hollywood to the Oval Office. And while they both offer some constructive criticism, they see the film as a good account of how Reagan viewed the communist threat and how he successfully dealt with it.

Hamas Murders Hostages, Illegals Causing Criminal Chaos, The Constitution Is a Threat?

by

Listen to “Hamas Murders Hostages, Illegals Causing Criminal Chaos, The Constitution Is a Threat?” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg for three lousy martinis that all have a strong crazy streak too. After Greg recaps his visit to the Calvin Coolidge presidential site in Vermont, they condemn Hamas for murdering  hostages as well as the Biden administration’s reaction. They also shudder as illegals are comprising a huge percentage of arrests in New York City but the laws are working against the law-abiding public. And they tear apart a New York Times column for saying the Constitution may be a threat to our politics.

First, they recoil at Hamas murdering six hostages, including American Hersh Goldberg-Polin. But they’re also staggered that the immediate media and Biden administration reaction is to put more pressure on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to cut a deal with the bloodthirsty terrorists who orchestrated the October 7th attacks and just slaughtered several innocent people.

Next, they fume as police sources in New York report that 75 percent of assault, robbery, and domestic violence arrests in Midtown Manhattan are of illegal immigrants, and they estimate the number to be 60 percent in Queens. If that weren’t bad enough, they explain how sanctuary city laws mean the perpetrators are often freed and officers can’t check their legal status or work with Immigration & Customs Enforcement.

Finally, they shake their heads as a New York Times column suggests the Constitution is a threat to our politics because of undemocratic aspects like the Electoral College and small states getting the same number of senators as larger states. Oh, and they they say the originalist bent of the current Supreme Court is a problem because the justices dare to seek out what the Founding Fathers meant when they wrote the Constitution.

Three Martinis with Tevi Troy: ‘Unprecedented’ History, Presidents vs. CEO’s, ‘Die Hard’

by

Listen to “Three Martinis with Tevi Troy: ‘Unprecedented’ History, Presidents vs. CEO’s, ‘Die Hard'” on Spreaker.

As America pauses for Labor Day, Jim and Greg welcome in highly respected presidential historian Tevi Troy of the Bipartisan Policy Center. His latest book is “The Power and the Money: The Epic Clashes Between Commanders in Chief and Titans of Industry.” Tevi is also a huge fan of “Die Hard,” so you know they won’t miss a chance to talk about that!

They begin by noting that Troy is well known for being the historian pouring cold water on politicians and their supporters, who are frequently and loudly insisting that whatever they are upset about is unprecedented and proof that the other side is on the brink of ruining the nation. Tevi says that over 235 years of the presidency we’ve seen a lot, and the people pulling their hair out don’t know their history and are often substituting politics for religion.

Next, they dig into Troy’s book, “The Power and the Money” and how in the span of 150 years, America went from a posture of government and business being completely separate to now being very closely intertwined and impacting our lives regularly. They explore who deserves a lot of the blame for that disturbing evolution and which historical examples best inform of us of today’s nexus between business and politics.

Finally, as promised, they close out their discussion with a deep dive into “Die Hard,” exploring why it remains a cultural phenomenon and what separate it from other great action movies. And they reflect on how it portrays institutions like the government and the media.

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.
