Special Election Split, Booker’s Marathon Speech, Becerra vs. Kamala in California?

April 2, 2025 by GregC

Listen to “Special Election Split, Booker’s Marathon Speech, Becerra vs. Kamala in California?” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg on 3 Martini Lunch as they break down GOP victories in two Florida House special elections, a tough Republican loss in Wisconsin’s Supreme Court race, Sen. Cory Booker’s 25-hour filibuster, and a potential 2026 California governor’s race showdown between two Biden administration alumni.
First, they’re relieved to see Republicans comfortably hold both open House seats in Florida. However, they wince as Democrats celebrate an easy win in Wisconsin’s Supreme Court race, securing a liberal majority. While the left downplays the Florida results, Jim and Greg remind listeners that Democrats previously claimed they had a shot at flipping at least one seat. Meanwhile, Republicans must learn key lessons from Wisconsin ahead of the midterms.Next, they analyze New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker’s record-breaking 25-hour floor speech, which was long but was not aimed at blocking any legislation or nomination. While Democrats and the media hype it as energizing for their base, it’s long term impact is likely minimal at best. Jim and Greg do marvel at Booker’s endurance and explain why he will probably benefit from this more than anyone.

Finally, they examine former Health and Human Services Sec. Xavier Becerra’s entry into the 2026 California governor’s race. While some candidates say they would defer if former Vice President Kamala Harris entered the race, Becerra insists he’s staying in. Does this signal Harris won’t run? Or could it set up a fierce showdown between former Biden administration allies?

Mortgage Rate Agony, Becerra Targets the Constitution, Tlaib’s Vile Gaslighting

October 19, 2023 by GregC

Listen to “Mortgage Rate Agony, Becerra Targets the Constitution, Tlaib’s Vile Gaslighting” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they serve up three lousy martinis. First, they shudder as 30-year mortgage interest rates hit eight percent, meaning monthly payments on a $400,000 home are now $1,000 more expensive per month than they were just two years ago. They also hammer Health and Human Services Sec. Xavier Becerra for pushing for a “universal system of public health” even though he admits the Constitution doesn’t allow it. He thinks it’s bad that different states could set different policies during the COVID pandemic and he wants more power over your life to address climate change. Then, they slam Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib for repeating the debunked Hamas propaganda about Israel bombing a hospital in Gaza. Finally, on a more positive note, they observe an important milestone and make an announcement about the next couple of weeks.

Joe Rogan vs. the Mob, ‘Mother of All Sanctions,’ Becerra Getting the Boot?

January 31, 2022 by GregC

Listen to “Joe Rogan vs. the Mob, ‘Mother of All Sanctions,’ Becerra Getting the Boot?” on Spreaker.
Join Jim and Greg as they dissect the left’s campaign to cancel Joe Rogan, Rogan’s response, and the critical question from a NYT reporter. They also welcome bipartisan sanctions aimed at Russia if it invades Ukraine but deeply groan at the pathetic description of the bill as “the mother of all sanctions.” And they assess reports that the Biden White House is deeply frustrated with HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra and discussing who could do a better job.

Wuhan Lab Whiplash, Taliban’s Troubling Talk, Newsom’s Big Rebound

May 26, 2021 by GregC

Listen to “Wuhan Lab Whiplash, Taliban’s Troubling Talk, Newsom’s Big Rebound” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they examine the political and media left now treating the Wuhan lab leak theory seriously after a year of calling such talk a baseless conspiracy, and even the Biden administration is joining the chorus. They also sigh as the Taliban threatens it’s neighbors not to host any military bases for U.S. forces following our withdrawal from Afghanistan this year. And they they’re stunned that California voters not only oppose recalling Gov. Gavin Newsom but strongly support his handling of the pandemic.
