Remembering Mrs. Carter, Big Libertarian Win in Argentina, Biden’s Polls Get Worse, Media Malpractice on Debt

by

Listen to “Remembering Mrs. Carter, Big Libertarian Win in Argentina, Biden’s Polls Get Worse, Media Malpractice on Debt” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they serve up three critical martinis after opening with thoughts on the passing of former First Lady Rosalynn Carter, who died Sunday at age 96.

Then they react to libertarian Javier Milei’s dominant win in Argentina’s presidential race amid a massive economic crisis there. They also note Milei’s unconventional approach to politics and the media’s reflexive opposition to him.

They also chronicle a Fox News poll showing showing voters trust Republicans to deal with issues ranging from the border to foreign policy and from crime to government spending – by a wide margin. And an NBC poll shows President Biden with his worst numbers yet. But can Republicans actually capitalize on all this?

Finally, they fume as Politico shifts from constantly demonizing any GOP calls for spending restraints to suddenly noticing out-of-control spending and huge interest payments on the debt – and are now demanding the House GOP majority do something about it.

Can Reynolds Boost DeSantis in Iowa? Debt Interest Passes $1 Trillion, Biden’s ‘Messaging’ Problem

by

Listen to “Can Reynolds Boost DeSantis in Iowa? Debt Interest Passes $1 Trillion, Biden’s ‘Messaging’ Problem” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they set the stage for today’s off-year elections that will have big consequences in states like Virginia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Jersey and more.

Then they kick off the martinis with a focus on Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds endorsing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for president. How much does her endorsement matter and will we actually get a competitive primary?

They also shudder at the news that our annual interest payments on the national debt are now more than $1 trillion per year. It’s an issue that both parties have intentionally ignored for decades and the consequences are going to be ugly.

Finally, they roll their eyes as Florida Rep. Jared Moskowitz insists that lousy polls for President Biden over the past two years are merely a “messaging issue.”

Big GOP Edge on Economy, Iran’s U.S. Infiltration, Electoral College Unpopular

by

Listen to “Big GOP Edge on Economy, Iran’s U.S. Infiltration, Electoral College Unpopular” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome a stunningly good poll from NBC News showing American voters trusting Republicans far more than Democrats to do a good job on the economy – the biggest edge for the GOP on this issue in 32 years. And Jim breaks down why Americans are very sour on the economy despite the Biden administration insisting that it’s great. They also shudder at a Semafor report showing that Iran infiltrated the Obama and Biden administrations as well as the media to push for softer relations toward the mullahs in Iran and the pathetic Iran nuclear deal. Finally, they groan as two-thirds of Americans want to scrap the Electoral College and choose presidents based on the popular vote, and they are especially irked at the 47 percent of Republicans who say they want that. Plus, they explain the wisdom shown by our founding fathers in creating the Electoral College.

Dems Don’t Want Biden, Hunter Indictment Twist, Biden’s Sudden Exit

by

Listen to “Dems Don’t Want Biden, Hunter Indictment Twist, Biden’s Sudden Exit” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they marvel at President Biden’s dismal poll numbers, including 58 percent of Americans saying the economy is worse under his leadership and 67 percent of Democrats wanting someone other than Biden as the party’s nominee next year. But Democrats also have no idea whom they would want to replace Biden. They also react to Special Counsel David Weiss announcing that there will likely be an indictment against Hunter Biden on a gun charge by the end of the month, but they also note Andy McCarthy’s assessment that this is not about Weiss finally getting tough on Hunter. Instead, it’s about running out the clock ona wide array of potential charges. Finally, they are highly skeptical of the White House explanation that President Biden exited a Medal of Honor ceremony earlier than usual due to COVID precautions and that it was planned that way.

China’s Lousy Economy, Reality in Afghanistan, White House Briefing Blunders

by

Listen to “China’s Lousy Economy, Reality in Afghanistan, White House Briefing Blunders” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they cautiously welcome news that China’s economy is struggling mightily as a result of the prolonged, Draconian COVID lockdowns. But what might China do to distract its people from those economic problems? They also mark two years since the fall of Kabul to the Taliban during Biden’s humiliating exit from Afghanistan – and point out all of the horrific restrictions reimposed on women and girls. Finally, they roll their eyes at the sheer incompetence of White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, who butchered the names of both Hawaii senators and referred to Sen. Mazie Hirono as a “he.”
Timestamps:
0:21 – China’s struggling economy
6:22 – Two years after the fall of Kabul, life for Afghan women is as bad as you would expect.
15:09 – Karine Jean-Pierre’s weak performance as White House Press Secretary

Dems Clueless on ‘Moderates,’ America’s Crippling Inflation, Soaring School Absences

by

Listen to “Dems Clueless on ‘Moderates,’ America’s Crippling Inflation, Soaring School Absences” on Spreaker.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour Host Scot Bertram is in for Jim, who will be back tomorrow. Today, Scot and Greg start with a martini that’s both bad and crazy. They welcome Minnesota Rep. Dean Phillips saying his party needs to move on from Joe Biden. But they do a spit take when Phillips suggests a “moderate” governor from the heartland and then the congressman and NBC’s Chuck Todd list Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Illinois Gov. JB. Pritzker, and several others who aren’t the slightest bit moderate. They also unload on the Biden administration’s talking point that the economy is great and we just don’t appreciate it. The latest evidence is that Americans paid $709 more in July 2023 than they did for the exact same goods and services than they did two years ago. Finally, they recoil at numbers showing 25 percent of American school students missed 10 percent or more of school days in the 2021-22 school year, which translates to 6.5 million more students than prior to the pandemic. They also go through Michigan’s numbers, which are far worse than the national average. Scot calls it a “national emergency.”
Timestamps:
1:30 – Special Counsel named in Hunter Biden investigation
2:35 – Dem Rep. Dean Phillips wants Biden to serve just one term and pass the torch to a “moderate” governor from the heartland. But Phillips and NBC’s Chuck Todd prove they have no idea what a moderate is.
9:28 – Americans paying more than $700 more per month than they did two years ago for the same goods and services.
16:39 – America still plagued by chronic absenteeism in the wake of COVID.

GOP’s Economic Opportunity, Gutter Politics, Burgum’s Smart Bet

by

Listen to “GOP’s Economic Opportunity, Gutter Politics, Burgum’s Smart Bet” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg for another full round of martinis! After noting the White House changing its explanation of Joe’s relationship to Hunter’s business ventures, they’re excited to see polling that shows Americans are far more concerned with the economy than anything else. Does any GOP hopeful have a plan to deal effectively with the inflation brought on by rampant government spending? They also shudder as many on social media express their disappointment that Gov. Ron DeSantis was not injured during a motorcade accident this morning in Tennessee. Finally, they note North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum qualified for the first GOP presidential debate and the unique way in which he accomplished it.

Timestamps:

0:19 – White House no longer says Pres. Biden & Hunter never talked business. Now they state they were never in business together.
2:03 – Biden wants to own this economy and Americans are overwhelmingly concerned about the economy. Can the GOP take advantage of this golden opportunity?
7:34 – People upset that DeSantis was not injured in motorcade accident
12:58 – Burgum qualifies for the GOP debate after a creative fundraising strategy.

‘Center Store’ Inflation, China Hacks Us Again, Chicago’s Recipe for Disaster

by

Listen to “‘Center Store’ Inflation, China Hacks Us Again, Chicago’s Recipe for Disaster” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they detail why many people are getting more stressed about prices for essential items even though the overall inflation numbers are cooling. They highlight a piece from National Review’s Noah Rothman explaining how “center store” inflation is still a big problem. They also wince at the news China successfully hacked the Commerce Department, including the emails of Sec. Gina Raimondo, and also parts of the State Department. Finally, they groan as Chicago’s new far-left mayor wants to address crime by killing a gang database because of racial disparities and choosing to prioritize the infusion of social workers over actually enforcing laws.

Biden’s Sinking Polls, Dems Defending TikTok, Sinema’s Curious Strategy

by

Listen to “Biden’s Sinking Polls, Dems Defending TikTok, Sinema’s Curious Strategy” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome a new Associated Press poll showing Americans can clearly see President Biden’s weak performance on the economy and his overall job performance. They also groan as the CEO of TikTok tries to dodge questions about whether the app is spying on users and TikTok’s connection to the Chinese Communist Party. Plus, they hammer the Democrats for glibly opposing the effort to crack down on TikTok after agreeing to ban it on government devices last year. Finally, they break down Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema’s strategy of cozying up to the right in advance of a likely 2024 re-election bid.

Buttigieg’s Bad Day, Consumer Spending Concerns, Marianne Williamson Is Back

by

Listen to “Buttigieg’s Bad Day, Consumer Spending Concerns, Marianne Williamson Is Back” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they appreciate the National Transportation Safety Board explanation of what really led to the train derailment in Ohio – an ignored warning on an overheated axle and not some left-wing fiction about reckless deregulation. Plus, they discuss what this means for Buttigieg’s political future and how President Biden may have stumbled into a stroke of political genius. They also wince at the latest consumer expenditure numbers suggesting inflation may be stubbornly high for quite a bit longer. And they get a kick out of the news that Marianne Williamson plans to enter the Democratic presidential field, but also wonder whether more prominent figures on the left will follow her lead.
