Florida Squashes Squatters, Media Malpractice at CBS, Minimum Wage Reality Check, Remembering Lieberman

by

Listen to “Florida Squashes Squatters, Media Malpractice at CBS, Minimum Wage Reality Check, Remembering Lieberman” on Spreaker.

Undisputed King of Stuff, columnist, and longtime Ricochet Editor-in-Chief Jon Gabriel is in for Jim today. Jon and Greg tackle good, bad, and crazy martinis and remember the late Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman.
First, they cheer Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and the state legislature for enacting anti-squatting legislation to provide protections for private property owners and swift law enforcement removal of people illegally occupying homes.
Next, they hammer CBS News reporter Ed O’Keefe and new Guatemalan Pres. Bernardo Arevalo for blatantly misrepresenting Donald Trump’s comments on migrants and absurdly suggesting people have a fundamental right to come to the U.S. O’Keefe also suggests migrants’ lives might be in danger in the U.S. if Trump wins in November.
They also highlight the painfully predictable results of California raising the minimum wage for fast food workers to $20 per hour.
Finally, they offer a toast to longtime Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman, who was the Democrats’ vice presidential nominee in 2000 and, just as significantly, a guest on 3 Martini Lunch in 2022.

Minimum Wage Truth, Biden Wants Better Coverage, Cuomo Suing CNN?

by

Listen to “Minimum Wage Truth, Biden Wants Better Coverage, Cuomo Suing CNN?” on Spreaker.

Before their martini consumption, Jim and Greg remember Pearl Harbor 80 years after the Japanese attack that launched our nation into World War II and all the heroes who have served our nation. Then they go through new studies showing once again that raising the minimum wage leads to employees losing their jobs. They also recoil as the Biden White House tries to convince major media outlets that the president deserves much better coverage on the economy. And they get the popcorn ready as Chris Cuomo is reportedly preparing to sue CNN for the money remaining on his contract.

by

Listen to “No Minimum Wage Hike, Vaccine Bottleneck, Murkowski & Tanden” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome the Senate parliamentarian ruling that a minimum wage increase may not be included as part of the reconciliation process on a COVID relief bill. Jim updates the lingering problems as vaccines are being administered far slower than they are being produced. And they’re getting nervous as the last Senate Republican who could save the Neera Tanden nomination agrees to a one-on-one meeting with her.

Neera Nearing Defeat, Khanna’s Callous Business Attitude, Mask Confusion

by

Listen to “Neera Nearing Defeat, Khanna’s Callous Business Attitude, Mask Confusion” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome the news that West Virginia Democrat Joe Manchin is opposing the nomination of Neera Tanden, President Biden’s choice for budget director, and two of the most moderate Republicans are already saying they’re voting against her as well. They also hammer California Democrat Ro Khanna, after the congressman says he doesn’t want small businesses that cannot afford to pay $15 per hour. And they follow the insane evolution of “the experts,” who are now saying that you will need to wear a mask long after the bulk of the population has been vaccinated.

Politico Resists the Mob, Biden’s Minimum Wage Mistake, Lockdowns Failed

by

Listen to “Politico Resists the Mob, Biden’s Minimum Wage Mistake, Lockdowns Failed” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they applaud Politico editors for defending their decision to have Ben Shapiro as a guest author and not caving to the liberal outrage in the newsroom. They also tell Joe Biden that this is the worst possible time to pursue a $15 per hour minimum wage, since it would kill even more jobs and probably more businesses. And they fume as a major study concludes lockdown policies did not help to stop the spread of the coronavirus.

RBG & ERA, Bernie & Big Spending, Steyer & the Minimum Wage

by

Listen to “RBG & ERA, Bernie & Big Spending, Steyer & the Minimum Wage” on Spreaker.

It’s New Hampshire primary day! Get prepared with your Tuesday installment of the Three Martini Lunch. Join Jim and Greg as they applaud Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg for telling her fellow supporters of the Equal Rights Amendment that the effort died in 1982 and they need to start over again if they want to see it succeed. They also cringe as CNBC reminds us that Bernie Sanders would more than double federal spending every year due to his big government plans for health care, education, climate change and more. Meanwhile, Jim discusses the calculation from many on the right calculation that a Sanders nomination means an easy win for President Trump. And they roll their eyes as Tom Steyer tries to one-up the Democratic field by calling for a $22-per-hour minimum wage.

McConnell’s SCOTUS Strategy, Minimum Wage Woes, NFL Re-Reviews Anthem Policy

by

Listen to “McConnell’s SCOTUS Strategy, Minimum Wage Woes, NFL Re-Reviews Anthem Policy” on Spreaker.
Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America give credit to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell for countering Democratic demands for a million pages of documents on Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh by suggesting the Senate vote on him may come just days before the election. They also mourn the impending loss of many entry-level jobs at places like McDonald’s due to minimum wage hikes and technological advancements. And they roll their eyes at the NFL’s inability to enforce a policy on kneeling during the anthem just days after the Miami Dolphins threatened to suspend players for not standing.

Trump & Intel, Dem Wage Hypocrisy, Mad Dog’s Cell Number

by

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America discuss reports that President Trump revealed very sensitive intelligence during his meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.  They also get a kick out of a lawsuit against the Democratic National Committee, alleging staffers weren’t paid the current minimum wage for their work in 2016.  And they have some fun with the news that a published photo of President Trump’s bodyguard revealed the personal cell phone number of Defense Sec. James Mattis.
