by

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.

Happy Friday!  We’ve got good, bad, and crazy martinis to finish the week.  Join Jim and Greg as they discuss Texas Rep.
