Trump Cabinet on Track, The January 6th Pardons, Biden’s Feckless Finish

by

Listen to “Trump Cabinet on Track, The January 6th Pardons, Biden’s Feckless Finish” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg for the 3 Martini Lunch podcast as they discuss the likely confirmation of all of President Trump’s remaining cabinet picks, Trump’s decision to free everyone convicted of January 6th crimes, and Jim’s strong reaction to Joe Biden’s controversial final-day pardons.

First, they break down the unanimous confirmation of Senator Marco Rubio as Secretary of State and delve into the prospects for Trump’s other cabinet nominees. Even the most controversial picks are expected to be confirmed, but Jim and Greg also mention nominees who may face the toughest challenges. They also highlight the common trend in presidential administrations where not every nominee gets confirmed, offering historical perspective on the confirmation process.

Then they turn to Trump’s sweeping pardons and commutations for everyone convicted in connection with the January 6th Capitol riot. They agree with comments from Vice President Vance just days ago suggesting there’s a significant difference between the violent and non-violent offenders that day. And while they understand defenders of Trump’s decision pointing out a massive double standard in the Justice Department ignoring or going easy on rioters in the summer of 2020 or during Trump’s first inaugural, Jim details why he believes pardons or commutations for everyone for the unrest at the U.S. Capitol is not the right call.

Finally, Jim shares his thoughts on Joe Biden’s actions in his final days in office, including a series of controversial pardons for family members, Dr. Anthony Fauci, General Milley, and members of the January 6th committee. Jim critiques these pardons as an overreach of executive power, arguing that such actions betray the intentions of the Founding Fathers.

Trump’s Strong Cabinet Picks, Sen. Casey Won’t Accept Reality, Rep. Moulton’s Trans-Gression

by

Listen to “Trump’s Strong Cabinet Picks, Sen. Casey Won’t Accept Reality, Rep. Moulton’s Trans-Gression” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they discuss President-Elect Trump’s excellent early cabinet picks, Pennsylvania Sen. Bob Casey refusing to admit he lost, and a congressional Democrat excoriated by his own side for suggesting boys shouldn’t be playing in girls’ sports.

First, they share their enthusiasm for almost all of Trump’s initial picks, highlighting Chief of Staff Susie Wiles and National Security Adviser Michael Waltz as strong choices. Other notable names like Tom Homan, Elise Stefanik, Lee Zeldin, and Marco Rubio also reassure conservatives, though they raise concerns about Gov. Kristi Noem’s selection for Homeland Security.

Next, Jim and Greg scrutinize Sen. Bob Casey, Jr.’s refusal to admit defeat to Republican challenger Dave McCormick, who leads by 35,000 votes. Casey’s stubbornness  has even delayed McCormick’s freshman orientation. Will Casey or the Democrats pay a price for refusing to accept election results?

Finally, they react to progressives attacking Massachusetts Rep. Seth Moulton for saying his fellow Democrats aren’t listening to voters on issues like transgender athletes. Moulton also said he didn’t want his daughters getting run over by male athletes during competition. Will the left accept this reality check or just continue to demonize anyone who questions the woke agenda?

Biden’s Ammo Pause for Israel, Rep. Cuellar Indicted for Bribery, Gov. Noem Keeps Digging

by

Listen to “Biden’s Ammo Pause for Israel, Rep. Cuellar Indicted for Bribery, Gov. Noem Keeps Digging” on Spreaker.

There are no good martinis to start the week but Jim and Greg have plenty to discuss about President Biden playing hardball with Israel over ammunition, a seemingly sane House Democrat getting indicted on bribery charges, and South Dakota Gov. just making things worse as she tries to promote her new book.

First, they fume over reports that Biden has paused the delivery of some U.S.-made ammunition to Israel, with no explanation from the White House or anyone else. Is this designed to discourage Israel from going into Rafah to eradicate Hamas? Whatever the reason, an explanation is warranted.

Then, they discuss the indictments aimed at Texas Rep. Henry Cuellar and his wife Imelda over them allegedly accepting $600,000 in bribes from an energy firm connected with the Azerbaijan government. If it’s true, Cuellar obviously ought to be prosecuted. But are Democrats also eager to oust the Democrat most likely to make common cause with Republicans on the border and other issues?

Finally, they have multiple observations about South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem’s failed attempts to stop the political bleeding over revelations in her new book. From dog killing to whether she ever met with North Korean dictators Kim Jon Un, the answers on “Face the Nation” Sunday were less than impressive – and further proof she won’t be and shouldn’t be nominated for vice president.

Memoir Backlash Dogs Kristi Noem, FBI’s Flawed Crime Numbers, Media Fawn Over Biden

by

Listen to “Memoir Backlash Dogs Kristi Noem, FBI’s Flawed Crime Numbers, Media Fawn Over Biden” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg today as they chronicle South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem murdering her chances to become Trump’s running mate, why the FBI’s claims of falling crime rates are seriously flawed, and the media praising President Biden for preserving a free press when his actions suggest exactly the opposite.

First, they dig into the four-day firestorm of criticism against South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, after it was revealed in her forthcoming autobiography that years ago she shot a 14-month-old dog when it failed as a hunting dog. They’re also critical of Noem and hope this development takes her out of the running for the GOP vice presidential nomination since her previous personal and policy decisions already ought to disqualify her.

Next, they groan as the FBI fails to get an accurate picture of crime rates across the nation by forcing local police to enter data in such a cumbersome way that some big cities don’t enter crime statistics at all. And even in the cities where authorities do submit crime numbers, the FBI is still reporting lower numbers than local officials are announcing. Bottom line: the left’s narrative that crime is plummeting (allegedly to 50-year lows) is dead wrong.

Finally, they roll their eyes as NBC’s Kelly O’Donnell lavishes praise on President Biden, saying his mere presence at the White House Correspondents Dinner is a strong defense of free speech and a free press. The Biden’s administration’s track record tells a very different story.
