IRS Eyes Harvard, Bernie Boosts Socialist in Key Senate Race, Clooney’s ‘Brave’ Biden Letter

by

Listen to “IRS Eyes Harvard, Bernie Boosts Socialist in Key Senate Race, Clooney’s ‘Brave’ Biden Letter” on Spreaker.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour Host Scot Bertram fills in for Jim on 3 Martini Lunch. Join Scot and Greg as they dig into the IRS possibly revoking Harvard’s tax-exempt status, Bernie Sanders backing a truly radical Senate candidate in Michigan, and CNN’s over-the-top praise for George Clooney’s 2024 call to replace Joe Biden.

First, they analyze reports that the IRS may strip Harvard of its tax-exempt status. Scot emphasizes that this issue should be treated separately from the Biden administration’s efforts to withhold federal funds over the school’s failure to meet anti-Semitism standards. The guys also mull over whether such an action by the IRS would make it easier for a future Democrat administration to take aim at conservative institutions, or whether the left will do that regardless of what the right does now.

Next, they spotlight Bernie Sanders endorsing far-left candidate Abdul El-Sayed for U.S. Senate in Michigan. El-Sayed is known for supporting government-controlled health care, taxpayer-funded college (dubbed “free” college by the left), and for his hostility toward Israel. But Scot cautions that El-Sayed is an articulate speaker, boasts a successful medical background, and could receive glowing media coverage similar to Barack Obama back in 2004.

Finally, they call out CNN’s Jake Tapper for heaping excessive praise on George Clooney’s “brave” letter to the New York Times editor urging Democrats to replace Joe Biden after last year’s debate. Scot and Greg see it as a transparent effort by the media and left-wing elites to rewrite history and pretend it was impossible to know about Biden’s cognitive decline before the debate.

Trump Tax Leaker Imprisoned, Biden Donors Get First Iran Thoughts, A Swift-Kelce Psy-Op?

by

Listen to “Trump Tax Leaker Imprisoned, Biden Donors Get First Iran Thoughts, A Swift-Kelce Psy-Op?” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg today for the return of the good martini, a very important bad one, and a highly-spirited crazy martini that either indicates a sinister left-wing plot, the rescue of Western Civilization, or just maybe, something in between.

First, they are pleasantly surprised to see a serious prosecution and sentencing for the IRS contractor who leaked President Trump tax returns to the media.

Then, they’re a bit puzzled as to why the Pentagon is so sure that Iran doesn’t want war with the U.S. But Jim also fumes as President Biden refuses to make any public statement on American forces being killed by Iranian proxies but will likely address it and the U.S. response to donors at a private dinner tonight in Florida.

Finally, Jim and Greg address the notion that the Taylor Swift-Travis Kelce relationship is a psychological operation orchestrated by Democrats and is designed to help Biden get re-elected. They explain why the psy-op theory doesn’t hold up, which cynical theory makes more sense, and what to conclude if the relationship is genuine.

Hunter’s Irony-Clad Case, Biden’s Middle East Mess, Stealth F-35 Gone Missing

by

Listen to “Hunter’s Irony-Clad Case, Biden’s Middle East Mess, Stealth F-35 Gone Missing” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they consider the unintended consequences of Hunter Biden’s suit against the IRS, alleging the whistleblowers on his case violated his privacy. He seems to be grasping for straws but could he actually end up strengthening protections for the rest of us against the IRS? They’re also disgusted as Iran follows up last week’s embarrassing Biden administration concessions by kicking a bunch of United Nations weapons inspectors out of the country and Saudi Arabia tells the U.S. is is ending consideration of normalizing relations with Israel. Finally, they’re thankful the pilot is safe and have some fun with the U.S. military asking the public to find a missing stealth F-35.

Biden Whistleblower Accusations, EVs Cost Ford Billions, Another Biden Gaffe

by

Listen to “Biden Whistleblower Accusations, EVs Cost Ford Billions, Another Biden Gaffe” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg for good, bad, and crazy martinis. First they react to IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley’s allegations of interference by the DOJ regarding the Hunter Biden investigation, and being blocked entirely from investigating Joe Biden. They then discuss the recent report from Ford Motor Company that it expects to lose $3 billion in operating profit on electric vehicles. Finally, they laugh and cringe at President Biden saying Russian President Vladimir Putin, “is clearly losing the war in Iraq.”

Timestamps:

0:23 – Lastest Biden Whistleblower Allegations
6:20 – Ford Motor Company Loss on Electric Vehicles
11:57 – EVs are heavier, tires wear faster, and beware the “mileage tax”
16:18 – Joe Biden: Putin, “is clearly losing the war in Iraq.”

Politics & Road Repair, DOJ Impeded Hunter Probe, Freedoms vs. ‘The Common Good’

by

Listen to “Politics & Road Repair, DOJ Impeded Hunter Probe, Freedoms vs. ‘The Common Good'” on Spreaker.

Ricochet.com Editor-in-Chief Jon Gabriel is in for Jim, who will be back on Monday. Join Jon and Greg as they applaud the rapid reopening of Interstate 95 in Philadelphia and note how quickly some projects get done when there is strong political incentive to get it done. They also fume as IRS whistleblowers tell Congress that the Justice Department repeatedly meddled in the Hunter Biden investigation by tipping off Hunter’s lawyers at times, forbidding the U.S. attorney from opening multiple investigations, and discouraging the investigation of incriminating messages. Finally, they shudder at the the legislative push in Ireland to “restrict freedom for the common good,” which is always the argument for the government stealing our liberties and giving itself more power.

The DeSantis Rollout, Biden Will Get Debt Blame, IRS Targets Taibbi

by

Listen to “The DeSantis Rollout, Biden Will Get Debt Blame, IRS Targets Taibbi” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they walk through the good, bad, and crazy aspects of the presidential campaign launch of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis – from the glitchy start on Twitter Spaces to his strong articulation of a conservative vision for the nation to the obvious grifting of Trump critics who are aiming their venom primarily at DeSantis. They’re also pleasantly surprised by a new Fox News poll showing more Americans would blame President Biden than congressional Republicans for defaulting on our debt. Finally, they fume at the very shaky premise for the IRS going to the home of Twitter Files reporter Matt Taibbi on the day he testified to Congress about government efforts to silence free speech – and the very shady way the IRS initiated it’s investigation.

Hunter Biden Whistleblower, Shootings Over Simple Mistakes, Christie’s Pointless Posturing

by

Listen to “Hunter Biden Whistleblower, Shootings Over Simple Mistakes, Christie’s Pointless Posturing” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they applaud the IRS whistleblower willing to come forward about politics interfering with the investigation of Hunter Biden. And they appreciate CBS News for actually covering the story. They also react to a bizarre string of shootings in response to simple mistakes like knocking on the wrong door, pulling into the wrong driveway, accidentally entering the wrong car, and even a child’s ball rolling into a neighbor’s yard. Are these coincidental or a sign of something worse? Plus, Jim explains why self-defense seems like a non-starter in these cases and why claiming it could be damaging for all of us. Finally, they throw up their hands as former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie seriously considers running for president.

Criminal or Hero? The New IRS Intrusion, Pence’s ‘Implicit’ Trump Criticism

by

Listen to “Criminal or Hero? The New IRS Intrusion, Pence’s ‘Implicit’ Trump Criticism” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they serve up two bad martinis and a crazy one. First, they react to how some on the right are characterizing the National Guardsman accused of leaking top secret documents as a hero. They also vent about the IRS imposing a far lower standard for requiring a 1099 form when you are paid for work over apps like Venmo, Zelle, or PayPal. And they scratch their heads as former Vice President Mike Pence is expected to draw “implicit” contrasts with Donald Trump over the Second Amendment at this week’s NRA annual leadership meeting. Pence’s road to the nomination is virtually impossible to see as it is. Will allusions to policy differences really change anything?

GOP Targets IRS, The Gas Stove Backlash, Airline Agony

by

Listen to “GOP Targets IRS, The Gas Stove Backlash, Airline Agony” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they serve up two good martinis and a very bad one. First, they cheer House Republicans for making good on their promise to pass legislation repealing funding for 87,000 new IRS agents and building a campaign issue against every Democrat who voted against it – which was all of them. They also shudder at the Biden administration’s attempts to demonize gas stoves as increasing the odds of developing asthma and other ailments, but they are glad to see the intense pushback that appears to have forced the government to back down. Jim also notes an annoying and tedious tactic employed by Democrats on issues like this. Finally, they not only wonder about the health of our aviation sector after today’s major computer problem triggered a ground stop across the nation, but are increasingly sure Transportation Sec. Pete Buttigieg is simply not up to the job.

Dems’ Inflation Dodge, Atlantic’s Abortion Insanity, Monkeypox Madness

by

Listen to “Dems’ Inflation Dodge, Atlantic’s Abortion Insanity, Monkeypox Madness” on Spreaker.

Join Greg and Scot Bertram as they hammer the Biden administration and Democrats for promising a bill to lower inflation but really just spends more, taxes, more, and harasses middle class Americans. They also wonder what is happening at The Atlantic as it publishes a story downplaying far-left attacks on pro-life organizations but blasts the pro-life community for pointing out that it’s happening. And they sigh as the World Heath Organization won’t be honest about how to stop monkeypox but it’s super worried that the name monkeypox could be stigmatizing.
