Three Martinis with Robert Davi: His Role in ‘Reagan,’ Conservatives in Hollywood, ‘Die Hard’

September 9, 2024 by GregC

Listen to “Three Martinis with Robert Davi: His Role in ‘Reagan,’ Conservatives in Hollywood, ‘Die Hard'” on Spreaker.

Jim and Greg welcome acclaimed actor, director, and singer Robert Davi to sip three martinis. Today, they discuss Davi’s role in the new biopic of Ronald Reagan, what it’s like for him as a conservative in Hollywood, and his unforgettable performance as Special Agent Johnson in “Die Hard.”

First, they discuss how Davi got involved in the Reagan movie project nine years ago and how he deeply researched his role as former Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev. Davi also explains why he wanted to be part of the film, how the media mocked and attacked Reagan much more at the time than they will admit now, and more.

Next, Davi shares what it’s like to be a conservative in Hollywood and how becoming more publicly supportive of conservatives and Republicans curiously coincided with a sudden decrease in opportunities to act and direct. He also takes us inside his recent film, “My Son Hunter” about Hunter Biden, the approach he took to directing it, and why many people discovered the film was far different than they expected it to be.

Then, of course, they spotlight Davi’s very memorable role in “Die Hard” and why the film endures more than most action movies. And you will not want to miss Davi’s hilarious story about watching the “Die Hard” for the first time alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger – complete with his perfect impression of Arnold.

Finally, Jim and Davi discuss their expectations for tomorrow night’s presidential debate.

The Markets & the Candidates, Debates Over Debates, Biden on Mt. Rushmore?

August 5, 2024 by GregC

Listen to “The Markets & the Candidates, Debates Over Debates, Biden on Mt. Rushmore?” on Spreaker.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour Host Scot Bertram is in for Jim. Today, Scot and Greg tackle a comprehensive new CBS News poll that may give us some insights into which candidate Americans will trust more if the economy is about to sour in a significant way. They also dissect the Trump-Harris spat over when and where to debate, and they roll their eyes as Nancy Pelosi suggests that President Biden belongs on Mount Rushmore.

First, they note the plunging markets worldwide and the various factors that seem to be playing into it. Then they dive into a new CBS News/YouGov poll examining what impact voters think Trump and Harris would have on their personal finances, the border, and much more.

Then, they dive into the back-and-forth between Trump and Harris as they fight over the terms of any upcoming debates. Trump says he’s agreed to one with Fox News and is not going to appear at the second debate he originally scheduled with Joe Biden. Harris accuses Trump of running scared and won’t do the Fox News event. So as of now, there is no debate scheduled. Will that change and who stands to benefit most by having at least one?

Finally, they laugh as Nancy Pelosi tells CBS Sunday Morning that Joe Biden’s “consequential” presidency merits his addition to Mount Rushmore. They explain how the American people already rendered a clear verdict on Biden’s time and how Pelosi is furiously trying to remove her fingerprints from the successful campaign to end Biden’s re-election campaign.

2023 Martini Awards Part 4: Best Idea, Worst Idea, Boldest Tactic

December 27, 2023 by GregC

Listen to “2023 Martini Awards Part 4: Best Idea, Worst Idea, Boldest Tactic” on Spreaker.

More year-end awards today! Jim and Greg embark on the second half of their six-episode series of the 3 Three Martini Lunch Awards. Today, they offer up their selections for the Best Political Idea, Worst Political Idea, and Boldest Political Tactics for the year.

They start with the best ideas of the year. Jim chooses an event that actually happened late last year but the true impact of it has been felt far and wide in 2023. Meanwhile, Greg’s award goes to a critical policy movement that made significant progress this year.

Then it’s time for the worst political ideas of the year, with both Jim and Greg finding so many terrible ideas that they both have multiple winners with no overlapping. Jim focuses on three terrible and simply wrong ideas pursued by the Biden administration on the international stage. Whereas, Greg highlights United Nations advocacy of a truly terrible idea that should horrify every parent. And he cites a governor’s effort to blatantly defy the Constitution.

Finally, they’re on to boldest political tactics for 2023, with neither of them agreeing with the tactics they chose to honor. Jim starts with a move made in the 2024 presidential campaign that was widely unpopular but has undoubtedly worked well. And Greg points to am aggressive and disruptive move on Capitol Hill.

Don’t miss Thursday’s special edition as Jim and Greg reveal their choices for Most Overreported Story, Most Underreported Story, and the Best Story of 2023.

Thanks for listening to the 3 Martini Lunch!

Sen. Feinstein Dies, The Looming Shutdown, Trump’s Absurd Debate Demand

September 29, 2023 by GregC

Listen to “Sen. Feinstein Dies, The Looming Shutdown, Trump’s Absurd Debate Demand” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they react to the news of California Sen. Dianne Feinstein dying at the age of 90 after years of health issues. They walk through Feinstein’s career, point out her reliable liberal votes and her moments of collegiality with Republicans and hostility to GOP judicial nominees. Finally, they reflect on her decision to stay in office as her health problems mounted but also remember one moment that gave conservatives a smile. In other news, Jim and Greg consider the looming government shutdown as the fiscal year comes to a close and the House Republicans, who missed their opportunity to be in a much stronger negotiating position against Senate Democrats and President Biden. Finally, they slam former President Trump’s suggestion that the Republican National Committee should just cancel the rest of the primary debates and move on to helping him with the general election.

Trump Declines Debates, Media’s Maui Malpractice, Chicago’s Shooting Hours

August 21, 2023 by GregC

Listen to “Trump Declines Debates, Media’s Maui Malpractice, Chicago’s Shooting Hours” on Spreaker.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour Host Scot Bertram is in for Jim. Today, Scot and Greg serve up all crazy martinis. First, they react to Donald Trump’s apparent decision to skip not only this week’s first GOP presidential debate but to skip all of them. Trump does not see them as necessary given his big leads nationally and in key states, but there are several reasons why he may want to reconsider. They also shudder as Hawaii Gov. Josh Green admits it’s possible or even likely that many of the more than one thousand people still missing from the Maui wildfires are children. But the grim news also raises a big question. How is the likely death of several hundred children not the dominant headline every single day? When looking at previous disasters, the answer seems to be a very predictable one. Finally, they’re almost at a loss for words at the suggestion from a Chicago alderwoman that the number of shootings and killings can be reduced by asking gangs only to shoot people between 9 p.m. – 9 a.m.

The State of the 2024 Presidential Campaign

June 30, 2023 by GregC

Listen to “The State of the 2024 Presidential Campaign” on Spreaker.

Election Day 2024 is more than 16 months away, but the first Republican debate is less than two months away and voters in the first primary and caucus states will be casting their ballots in just a few months. Today, Jim and Greg examine the state of the campaign in three different ways.
First, they look at the Democratic primary. While President Biden has a commanding lead over Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Marianne Williamson, the enthusiasm – even among Democrats – is very low for another four years of Biden. Will the Democrats stick with Biden regardless of his approval numbers and mounting evidence of physical and mental decline?
Then they pivot to the Republican primary, where former President Trump has opened a big lead over Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis both nationally and increasingly in the states. Is the GOP base loyalty towards Trump locked in and virtually irreversible or is there an avenue for DeSantis or anyone else to close the gap.
Finally, they preview a likely Biden-Trump rematch and consider how much the electorate has changed in the past few years. Will Biden’s poor performance be enough of a boost for Trump or will Trump’s focus on 2020 and his legal challenges lead to another four years for Biden?

Dobbs & Declining Abortions, Space Force Discrimination, Media’s Trump Obsession

June 16, 2023 by GregC

Listen to “Dobbs & Declining Abortions, Space Force Discrimination, Media’s Trump Obsession” on Spreaker.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour Host Scot Bertram is in for Jim today. Join Scot and Greg as they cheer statistics showing abortions are down in the U.S. since the Dobbs decision at the Supreme Court and way down in states that have enacted stronger pro-life laws. They’re also horrified as a three-star general in the U.S. Space Force warns that people who are less qualified for command positions will likely be chosen for them because of state laws banning puberty blockers and radical gender surgeries for minors. Finally, they groan as ABC’s “Good Morning America” spends almost an entire interview with GOP presidential candidate and Miami Mayor Francis Suarez asking him about Donald Trump. Scot says this should a major warning sign to the RNC about who ought to host Republican primary debates, and he suggests a familiar name to be a panelist at those debates.

GOP Senate Prospects, Cable News Debate Drama, Lightfoot Fails Upward

June 2, 2023 by GregC

Listen to “GOP Senate Prospects, Cable News Debate Drama, Lightfoot Fails Upward” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they’re intrigued about possible GOP Senate campaigns from Rep. Mike Gallagher in Wisconsin and baseball great Steve Garvey in California. They also cast a wary eye on CNN and MSNBC drooling at the chance to host Republican presidential debates because they may get major fireworks between Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis. And given their constant anti-GOP content and their past performances in Republican debates, there’s plenty of reason for skepticism. Finally, they roll their eyes as failed former Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot lands a prime teaching gig at Harvard University with a focus on leadership.

GOP Debt Fight Leverage, SCOTUS Rebuffs Dems, Biden & Trump Decline Debates

May 3, 2023 by GregC

Listen to “GOP Debt Fight Leverage, SCOTUS Rebuffs Dems, Biden & Trump Decline Debates” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they serve up two good martinis and a crazy one. First, they find some optimism in the ongoing debt ceiling fight as Republicans find a few Democratic allies on issues ranging from energy permitting to fighting Biden’s student debt redistribution plan. Then they applaud the U.S. Supreme Court after all nine justice sign a letter rejecting Senate Democrats for demanding new recusal and ethics policies and strongly rejecting the notion of reduced funding for security for the justices. Finally, they react to both President Biden and President Trump not wanting to engage in presidential primary debates. They also call out CNN for routinely calling Trump the world’s greatest threat to democracy but now giving him a town hall event because they want the ratings and for Trump to be the GOP nominee .

Improving GOP Senate Polls, Dems Ducking Debates, Anti-Capitalist Billionaires

September 16, 2022 by GregC

Listen to “Improving GOP Senate Polls, Dems Ducking Debates, Anti-Capitalist Billionaires” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome better polling news for the likes of Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson and and GOP hopefuls in the critical states of Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, and even Pennsylvania. They also notice the odd trend of Democrats like New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and Washington Sen. Patty Murray refusing to debate their Republican opponents. And they may have sprained their eyeballs as the very rich Patagonia founder Yvon Chouinard presents himself as a socialist who regrets becoming so wealthy and is now dedicated to saving the planet.
