Kamala Calls It Quits, Mayor Pete Plays the Race Card, Sanctuary Cities & Double Standards

by

Listen to “Kamala Calls It Quits, Mayor Pete Plays the Race Card, Sanctuary Cities & Double Standards” on Spreaker.

After a brief mention of today’s impeachment hearings, Jim and Greg launch into Wednesday’s real martinis.  First, they take deep satisfaction in watching the end of the Kamala Harris presidential campaign and chronicle the many things that went wrong for her.  They also slam Pete Buttigieg for saying that anyone who supports President Trump is “looking the other way on racism, at best.”  And they note that after three years of liberals cheering on sanctuary cities and counties over immigration policy, they suddenly have the vapors as conservative counties in Virginia adopt sanctuary policies against upcoming gun control legislation from the incoming Democratic majorities.

Trump Backs Iran Protesters, GOP’s Georgia Senate Spat, Bloomberg’s Bounce

by

Listen to “Trump Backs Iran Protesters, GOP’s Georgia Senate Spat, Bloomberg’s Bounce” on Spreaker.

Recording of Tuesday’s Three Martini Lunch concluded before the news of Kamala Harris abandoning her presidential campaign. Rest assured we will have plenty to say about that on Wednesday. In the meantime, grab a stool and join Jim and Greg as serve up Tuesday’s martinis. First, they’re grateful to see President Trump siding with the Iranian protesters despite earlier indications to the contrary. They also facepalm as Trump allies attack Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp for not following Trump’s advice on a U.S. Senate appointment and Kemp proceeds to pick someone who makes the pro-life community very nervous. And they notice that Michael Bloomberg’s spending barrage already has him in fifth place among voters in the first four primary and caucus states.

Freitas Runs for Congress

by

Listen to “Freitas Runs for Congress” on Spreaker.

Fresh off re-election to his state legislative office Republican Virginia Del. Nick Freitas is launching a congressional campaign in the commonwealth’s seventh district.

Freitas is a U.S. Army veteran, a Green Beret who served two tours in Iraq.  He was first elected to the Virginia House of Delegates in 2015 and about to begin his third term there after winning re-election as a write-in candidate.  In 2018, Freitas sought the GOP nomination for U.S. Senate but narrowly lost in the primary.

The seventh district is currently represented by Democrat Abigail Spanberger, who won a tight race against incumbent GOP Rep. Dave Brat in 2018.  Freitas says Spanberger ran as a moderate but votes with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi nearly 90 percent of the time.  He also slammed Spanberger for enthusiastically supporting the effort to impeach President Trump.

Freitas says the district is far more conservative than Spanberger and it’s time for more accurate representation.  He believes there is a fundamental difference in how Republicans and Democrats approach their jobs and he’s betting the voters will be much more comfortable with his philosophy.

“Whenever I hear about Democrats solving common-sense problems, it seems like their starting point is always how do we empower the government to do more,” said Freitas.

“When I look around at how we solve problems in the private sector, what I see is efficient solutions that people like, that they have a choice to engage in the marketplace with, and they’re inherently peaceful,” he added.

Listen to the full podcast to hear what Freitas thinks of President Trump, how he will deal with a Virginia that is increasingly tilting towards the Democrats and just how far left the Virginia legislature is planning to go when Democrats take full control in January.

Listen to “What We’re Politically Thankful For” on Spreaker.

As America pauses for Thanksgiving Day this week, join Jim and Greg as they each list three things for which they are politically thankful.  They both start out discussing encouraging signs in the judicial world.  Then Jim explains which Democratic presidential candidates he’s thankful for and which figure he’s thankful for doing just about everything the wrong way. Greg discusses the political figure he thinks is setting a good example for conservatives to follow while in office and which groups he finds encouraging in a time of great cynicism and polarization.

House Dem Opposes Impeachment, Obama Dings Biden, Ivy League Idiocy

by

Listen to “House Dem Opposes Impeachment, Obama Dings Biden, Ivy League Idiocy” on Spreaker.

One good and two crazy martinis await today. Jim and Greg react to House Democrat Brenda Lawrence backing away from impeachment and now saying censuring President Trump would be more appropriate in an election year. They also try to figure out what Barack Obama’s 2020 approach is as he not only doesn’t endorse Joe Biden but in private is apparently slamming Biden’s inability to connect with voters. And they roll their eyes as Harvard and Yale students disrupt the annual football game between the two schools to protest both schools for investing in fossil fuels.

Hurd’s Crucial Conclusion, Yang Slams MSNBC Bias, Bolton Breaks His Silence

Listen to “Hurd’s Crucial Conclusion, Yang Slams MSNBC Bias, Bolton Breaks His Silence” on Spreaker.

Happy Friday!  We’ve got good, bad, and crazy martinis to finish the week.  Join Jim and Greg as they discuss Texas Rep. Will Hurd saying he sees nothing that rises to the level of impeachment, because if Will Hurd isn’t flipping the odds of many Republicans in the Senate flipping are very low.  They also sympathize with Andrew Yang, who is ripping MSNBC for not giving him much time to speak in Wednesday’s debate.  And they’re intrigued by John Bolton returning to Twitter and promising more to come – only to find liberals who hate him now begging him to testify in the impeachment inquiry.

Nothing but crazy martinis today! First, Jim and Greg react to news that former Republican, Democrat, and independent Lincoln Chafee is now a Libertarian and thinking about running for president with his new party in 2020. They also slam the Democratic National Committee for recoiling at the idea of Politico’s Tim Alberta asking questions at the December presidential debate because he spent a year writing for National Review. And they examine South Dakota’s attention-grabbing drug prevention campaign entitled, “Meth. I’m On It.”

Trump’s Yovonovitch Tweets, Bloomberg and Patrick Skeletons, Avenatti Forgotten

by

Listen to “Trump’s Yovonovitch Tweets, Bloomberg and Patrick Skeletons, Avenatti Forgotten” on Spreaker.

It’s a no-filter Friday on the Three Martini Lunch.  Jim and Greg start by reacting to the Roger Stone convictions before even starting their martinis.  Then they shake their heads as President Trump goes on a Twitter rant against former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovonovitch while she’s testifying on Capitol Hill and Adam Schiff immediately overplays his hand by calling it witness intimidation.  Then Jim details the disturbing backgrounds of new Democratic presidential candidates Michael Bloomberg and Deval Patrick, including Bloomberg’s mistreatment of women and Patrick abusing his office to help a relative avoid registering as a sex offender.  And they get some satisfaction knowing that even the finalists in the “Jeopardy! Tournament of Champions” have already forgotten who Michael Avenatti is.
