2023 Martini Awards Finale: Person of the Year, Turncoat of the Year, Predictions for 2024

by

Listen to “2023 Martini Awards Finale: Person of the Year, Turncoat of the Year, Predictions for 2024” on Spreaker.

Jim and Greg close out 2023 with the finale of this year’s 3 Martini Lunch Awards. Today, they give our their prestigious choices for Person of the Year and Turncoat of the Year. Then they finish with predictions for 2024.
On Person of the Year, Jim looks to the 2024 presidential field for his first selection before adding a second, less known choice based on his powerful reporting overseas this year. Greg chooses a couple of GOP lawmakers who could end up having a big role in 2024.
For Turncoat of the Year, Jim chooses someone who not only had a bad year but it ending it on a very ugly note. Meanwhile, Greg names an entire movement that it curiously silent these days.
Finally, they offer predictions for the coming year. Initially, they both have decidedly pessimistic outlooks for 2024, but Jim ends the discussion with a surge of hope for Western Civilization.
Happy New Year! There will be no podcast on New Year’s Day. Our usual 3 Martini Lunch format returns on Tuesday, January 2.
Thanks for listening to the 3 Martini Lunch!

2023 Martini Awards Part 2: Sorry to See You Go, Rising Star, Fading Into Oblivion

by

Listen to “2023 Martini Awards Part 2: Sorry to See You Go, Rising Star, Fading Into Oblivion” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they offer the second installment of their highly coveted year-end awards. Today they remark on the people connected to politics that they’re most sorry to see pass away in 2023. They also share their choices for rising political stars and those who appear to be fading into political oblivion

They begin with those who left us over the past year. Jim chooses two friends involved in the political world who left suddenly and far too young. Greg mentions three figures, including a prominent conservative from across the Atlantic and a respected journalist in Washington.

Then it’s on to a much happier subject as they consider the rising political stars for 2023. They both choose Republicans on Capitol Hill – one of whom is frequently in the spotlight and other who is often working behind the scenes.

Finally, they agree on the political name most likely heading into oblivion after 2023. But Greg tosses out one other name near the top of his list who emerged from relative anonymity onto the national stage and now seems headed back to obscurity.

There will be no 3 Martini Lunch on Christmas Day. Join us on Tuesday as we consider the categories of Biggest Lie, Best Political Theater, & Worst Political Theater.
Merry Christmas and thank you for listening to the 3 Martini Lunch!

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America reveal their choices for the biggest Three Martini Lunch award categories.  They explain their choices for Person of the Year, as Jim names someone he once dismissed as unserious and Greg selects a large group of people joined by a common theme.  They also hold nothing back in detailing which people most egregiously turned their backs on conservative principles in 2017.  And they ditch their traditional New Year’s resolutions to offer fearless predictions for 2018.  Happy New Year to all of our wonderful listeners!  We will return on January 2, 2018.
