Adios Morales, GOP’s Suburban Swoon, ABC’s Epstein Fiasco

by

Listen to “Adios Morales, GOP’s Suburban Swoon, ABC’s Epstein Fiasco” on Spreaker.

Thanks for joining the Three Martini Lunch today.  Once again, Rob Long of National Review and Ricochet is sitting in for Jim.  Today, we celebrate the resignation of socialist Bolivian dictator Evo Morales and notice how very sad the mainstream media and far left politicians are that Morales is no longer in power.  They also note the retirement of New York GOP Rep. Peter King, and while they don’t really care if King retires. they see it as further evidence that things look bleak for Republicans in the suburbs in 2020.  And they chronicle ABC and CBS acting like the Keystone Cops in apparently firing the wrong person for leaking the Amy Robach rant against ABC for spiking the Jeffrey Epstein story for three years.  Rob is also shaking his head at the producer tearfully insisting she would never make public something as compelling as Robach’s comments.

However, they do use it as yet another example of the media lavishing praise on an obviously disturbed figure just because it helps their political narrative.

GOP Leaders Condemn King, Emergency Declaration Downsides, Acosta’s Grandstanding

by

Listen to “GOP Leaders Condemn King, Emergency Declaration Downsides, Acosta’s Grandstanding” on Spreaker.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America are glad to see Republican leaders denounce the latest controversial comments from Iowa Rep. Steve King and argue that while it’s worth defending the greatness of Western Civilization, there’s a right way and a wrong way to do it.  While being perfectly fine with a wall at various points along our southern border, they offer multiple reasons why an emergency declaration to move it forward would be a bad idea now and an even worse precedent for when a Democrat eventually becomes president.  And they get a kick out of CNN’s Jim Acosta intending to make an argument against the need for a border wall but accidentally demonstrating why a wall works.  And Jim explains how Acosta has become the Hollywood caricature of an arrogant reporter.

New GOP Rep. vs. Vaccines, Taxing Text Messages, Pelosi’s Power Ploy

by

Listen to “New GOP Rep. vs. Vaccines, Taxing Text Messages, Pelosi's Power Ploy” on Spreaker.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and and Greg Corombos of Radio America find themselves drowning in crazy martinis again today.  They slap their foreheads as a new GOP congressman from Tennessee – who is also a doctor – appears to tell a constituent that he’s hesitant to accept the government’s denial that childhood vaccinations cause autism and says he thinks the Centers for Disease Control have “fraudulently managed” data on the issue.  They also rub their hand with glee at the possibility of political inroads with young people as Democratic regulators in California consider a tax on text messaging and then consider some far more annoying aspects of modern communication that ought to be taxed.  And they can only smile as Nancy Pelosi somehow jumps on the bandwagon for term limits in the Democratic leadership in exchange for four more years as Speaker of the House.
