Trump Says Houthis Standing Down, GOP’s Senate Midterm Jitters, Biden’s Painful Gaza Pier

May 7, 2025 by GregC

Listen to “Trump Says Houthis Standing Down, GOP’s Senate Midterm Jitters, Biden’s Painful Gaza Pier” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg for Tuesday’s 3 Martini Lunch as they cautiously welcome reports that the Iran-backed Houthi rebels will stop attacking ships in the Red Sea. They also dig into GOP concerns over the 2026 Senate map and expose the shocking costs and failures of President Biden’s Gaza pier project.

First, they react to former President Trump announcing a suspension of U.S. military operations against the Houthis, after the group pledged to cease attacks on ships near Yemen.  Is this the result of overwhelming U.S. force, a concession by the Iranians in hopes of reaching a nuclear deal, both, or something else?

Next, they examine growing Republican anxiety about the 2026 U.S. Senate midterms. Top GOP recruits in Georgia and New Hampshire say they will not run and things look a bit shakier than expected for incumbents in three other states. So, are Republicans just overreacting or is there cause for concern?

Finally, they vent over reports that 62 U.S. service personnel were injured in various ways while assigned to construct the pier designed to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza. Adding insult to those injuries, the pier was only operational for a short time and much of the aid was stolen by terrorists and never given to the people in need.

Trump Tariffs Squeezing China, Kemp Won’t Run for Senate, Taliban Selling U.S. Weapons to Terrorists

May 6, 2025 by GregC

Listen to “Trump Tariffs Squeezing China, Kemp Won’t Run for Senate, Taliban Selling U.S. Weapons to Terrorists” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg for Wednesday’s 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss the mounting economic pressure on China from President Trump’s new tariffs, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp’s decision not to challenge Sen. Jon Ossoff, and explosive findings that the Taliban is making billions selling abandoned U.S. weapons and vehicles to terrorists.

First, they welcome reports that Trump’s 145 percent tariffs are already hitting China hard—forcing many companies to pull out of the U.S. market, threatening millions of Chinese jobs, and sparking public protests over unpaid wages. But will this lead to any major concessions from the communist leaders in Beijing?

Next, they react to Gov. Kemp’s announcement that he won’t run for the U.S. Senate in 2026. Kemp matched up far better against Ossoff than any other likely Republican candidate. They examine why Kemp decided not to run and what the Senate race will look like without him.

Finally, they unload on new findings from the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR), revealing that the Taliban is making billions by selling the military equipment the U.S. abandoned in Afghanistan to terror groups, including Al Qaeda affiliates. Jim and Greg blast both the Biden administration’s epic failures and empty promises, warning that this predictable disaster now poses grave new threats.

Trump Approves F-47, A New DeSantis Era? Gen Z’s Conservative Shift

March 24, 2025 by GregC

Listen to “Trump Approves F-47, A New DeSantis Era? Gen Z’s Conservative Shift” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg for three good martinis on 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss President Trump’s approval of the F-47 fighter jet, the future political ambitions of the DeSantis family, and mounting evidence that Democrats have alienated young men in a historic way. Plus, they make a somber champagne toast to the late former Utah Rep. Mia Love.

First, they welcome Trump’s approval of the F-47, a cutting-edge, sixth-generation stealth fighter capable of reaching Mach 2. This decision underscores the administration’s focus on military readiness and warfighting capabilities. Jim also explains how this decision impacts the growing debate about whether manned fighters are needed in the age of drones.

Next, Jim shares insights from the National Review Institute’s Ideas Summit, where he interviewed Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp and hosted a discussion with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and his wife, Casey. Rumors are swirling that Casey DeSantis is considering a 2026 gubernatorial run, and Jim explains why there’s a very good chance Mrs. DeSantis will jump in the race. He also notes the surprising ways she would be different than her husband as governor.

Then, they analyze fresh evidence that Gen Z men are shifting right, possibly in a huge, permanent way. Jim explores why this realignment doesn’t surprise him, pointing to how the left’s approach to education has driven young men toward conservatism. While time will tell, current data suggests this could be the most dramatic political shift among a generation in modern history.

Finally, they raise a champagne toast to former Utah Rep. Mia Love, who passed away from brain cancer. She was just 49 years old. Greg shares excerpts from a recent column Love wrote about the America she cherished, while Jim reflects on her time in Congress and the political future she might have had until cancer robbed her of it.

MLB All-Star Game Returning to Georgia, Silver Election Linings in Virginia, Elon’s Very Wrong Tweet

November 17, 2023 by GregC

Listen to “MLB All-Star Game Returning to Georgia, Silver Election Linings in Virginia, Elon’s Very Wrong Tweet” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they serve up two good martinis and a bad one to wrap up the week. First, they welcome Major League Baseball quietly announcing the 2025 All-Star Game will be in Atlanta, never mentioning that it removed the game from Atlanta in 2021 under the absurd pretext that Georgia’s new voting laws were racist and constituted voter suppression.

They’re also glad to report that were some positive results in last week’s Virginia elections, including a final reckoning for the Loudoun County prosecutor and school board who covered up a sexual assault in the name of diversity and even prosecuted the father of the victim instead of the perpetrator.

Finally, they dive into Elon Musk endorsing a post on X alleging Jews have a
“dialectical hatred of whites.”

Encore: Making Sense of the Midterms

November 23, 2022 by GregC

Listen to “Encore: Making Sense of the Midterms” on Spreaker.

Jim and Greg will be back with brand new podcasts on Thursday and Friday. As they both go on vacation today, let’s look back at their analysis of the midterm elections from two weeks ago. At the time they noted some of the big races that slipped away from the GOP, cheered the big wins in places like Florida and Texas, and discussed what lessons can be learned in the immediate aftermath of the voting.

Kemp Boosts Walker, The FTX Fiasco, The Insane Twitter Death Watch

November 18, 2022 by GregC

Listen to “Kemp Boosts Walker, The FTX Fiasco, The Insane Twitter Death Watch” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they assess how the Georgia Senate run-off will be impacted by Gov. Kemp firing up his get-out-the-vote machine on behalf of Herschel Walker. Jim also walks us through the basics of the FTX implosion and the impact on our politics. Finally, they roll their eyes as another public protest from outgoing Twitter employees convinced many users that the platform was about to implode and the site turned into a death vigil.

Inflation Sticking Around, The Media’s Fetterman Facade, Questionable Quinnipiac Polls

October 12, 2022 by GregC

Listen to “Inflation Sticking Around, The Media’s Fetterman Facade, Questionable Quinnipiac Polls” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they wince over the larger-than-expected jump in the Producer Price Index in September and brace for the consumer inflation numbers tomorrow. They also discuss Jim’s in-depth reporting on Pennsylvania Senate candidate John Fetterman and the media that have coddled him for many years. And they shake their heads as the Quinnipiac Poll, which was spectacularly wrong at times in 2020, shows not only Sen. Warnock growing his lead over Herschel Walker but Brian Kemp and Stacey Abrams in an alleged dead heat in the governor’s race.

School Voucher Success, Whoa Canada, Georgia Ticket-Splitters

July 14, 2022 by GregC

Listen to “School Voucher Success, Whoa Canada, Georgia Ticket-Splitters” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they celebrate Arizona leading the way on universal school choice – including parents keeping money for private tuition or homeschooling. They also groan as Canada’s vaccine mandate for people entering the country will mean 10 players for the Kansas City Royals can’t play in Toronto. And they analyze polling showing potential Georgia ticket-splitting as Gov. Brian Kemp enjoys a healthy lead while GOP Senate nominee Herschel Walker is slightly behind.

Truth Fights Back in Georgia, ‘Democrat Outrage Complex’, Dems Abandon Seat-Stealing

April 5, 2021 by GregC

Listen to “Truth Fights Back in Georgia, ‘Democrat Outrage Complex’, Dems Abandon Seat-Stealing” on Spreaker.

Jim is back! Join Jim and Greg as they cheer Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp for speaking the truth about the new Georgia elections bill and contrasting it with the hyperbolic lies of the left. They also examine the bizarre effort of what Jim calls the “Democrat outrage complex” to get the Major League All-Star Game moved from Atlanta. And they welcome the news the Democrats are no longer trying to steal an Iowa congressional seat but the excuse for giving up the effort is truly pathetic.
