Join Jim and Greg for four martinis today, as they begin with the breaking news that Tucker Carlson and Fox News Channel are going their separate ways effective immediately. Then it’s on to the regularly scheduled martinis, starting with both the Wall Street Journal and New York Times raising the alarm about Biden running for a second term at his age and mental state. The Journal says Biden is in “obvious decline.” Then they shudder at a Washington Post story revealing the Islamic State has a home in Afghanistan and his actively plotting attacks in Asia and Europe and is doing aspirational plotting against the United States. Finally, they discuss the frenzied damage control at Anheuser-Busch after losing billions in market share after celebrating the “womanhood” of transgender figure Dylan Mulvaney.

House GOP Chaos, Media Bury Times Square Attack, Short-Sighted Climate Logic
Happy New Year! Jim and Greg are back to their usual format but kick off the year with three crazy martinis after discussing the cardiac arrest of Buffalo Bills defensive back Damar Hamlin Monday night. They dig into the chaos within the House GOP conference as Kevin McCarthy fails to win enough votes to become Speaker of the House on the first ballot. They also wince as the Islamic extremist who attacked police with a machete in Times Square on New Year’s Eve was on the FBI’s radar. And they hammer the media for burying the story once the motive was known. Finally, they roll their eyes as a New York Times column argues people need to be looking for shorter mates so they can have shorter children who will be less of a strain on our planet.
Lockerbie Suspect to Face Trial, Buttigieg Double Standard, Fetterman’s Strong Fashion?
Join Jim and Greg as they cheer the news that a key terrorist suspect in the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Scotland. They also wonder why Trump HHS Secretary Tom Price was forced to resign for taking private jets at taxpayer expense but Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg can do it and almost no one cares. Finally, they sigh as the New York Times fawns over Pennsylvania Senator-Elect John Fetterman for his fashion statement of hooded sweatshirts and cargo shorts.

Left’s Musk Meltdown, Biden’s Gas Price Lie, Bennet’s Vindication
Listen to “Left’s Musk Meltdown, Biden’s Gas Price Lie, Bennet’s Vindication” on Spreaker.
Join Jim and Greg as they pop the popcorn and enjoy the left melting down on Twitter over the news that Elon Musk is officially running Twitter now. They also call out President Biden for the bald-faced lie that gas prices were above five dollars per gallon when he took office. And they give credit to the Washington Post for saying James Bennet was right in his standoff with the editorial department mob at the New York Times over an op-ed by Sen. Tom Cotton back in 2020.
Strong DeSantis Ad, Editorial Hits Fetterman’s Debate Dodge, California’s Energy Mess
Join Jim and Greg as they cheer a very strong ad from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis that uses Floridians from all walks of life mentioning how his policies have made their lives better. They also are intrigued to see the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette call our John Fetterman for being unable to take part in debates and the New York Times start to lay expectations for the defeat of Stacey Abrams in Georgia. Finally, they shake their heads at the left looking to California as the leaders in progressive energy policy…only to see California suffering rolling blackouts and and energy restrictions as a heat wave rolls in.
Wrong About Trump Voters, Wrong About Mitt’s Dog, Wrong on Inflation
Listen to “Wrong About Trump Voters, Wrong About Mitt’s Dog, Wrong on Inflation” on Spreaker.
Jim and Greg comment briefly on the news that President Biden tested positive for COVID Thursday morning. Then they dive into the New York Times series on columnists admitting things they got wrong. They welcome the admission from Bret Stephens that he was very wrong about Trump voters and they had many, many good reasons to be thoroughly fed up with politicians who stiffed them culturally, economically, and otherwise for decades. They also slam Gail Collins for her self-serving column about writing too much about Mitt Romney’s dog during the 2012 campaign. And they hammer Paul Krugman for saying he was wrong about inflation but then spending the rest of the column trying to explain how he really wasn’t.

Reality vs. Gun Control, Greens Leaving D.C, Biden’s Gas Price Problem
Listen to “Reality vs. Gun Control, Greens Leaving D.C, Biden’s Gas Price Problem” on Spreaker.
Join Jim and Greg as they welcome the second amendment conversion of a New York liberal who now sees the value of a gun for self-defense and how restrictive laws don’t keep weapons away from bad guys. They also cheer the news that many environmental activists are packing up and leaving D.C. after Thursday’s Supreme Court decision on the EPA. And they sigh as President Biden tells Americans they will be stuck with high gas prices until Ukraine defeats Russia.

NYT Comes Clean on Hunter’s Laptop, The Utterly Useless UN, Another Biden Gift to Iran?
Listen to “NYT Comes Clean on Hunter’s Laptop, The Utterly Useless UN, Another Biden Gift to Iran?” on Spreaker.
Join Jim and Greg as they roll their eyes at the overdue admission from the New York Times that the Hunter Biden laptop was not Russian misinformation, but a real story as the New York Post reported in October 2020. They shame the United Nations for being an expensive “Debate Society” that has proven itself completely useless in solving international issues. And despite its long record of evil, including the targeting and killing of American troops, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps may soon lose its “Foreign Terrorist Organization” tag as part of the ongoing nuclear negotiations.

Joe Rogan vs. the Mob, ‘Mother of All Sanctions,’ Becerra Getting the Boot?
Listen to “Joe Rogan vs. the Mob, ‘Mother of All Sanctions,’ Becerra Getting the Boot?” on Spreaker.
Join Jim and Greg as they dissect the left’s campaign to cancel Joe Rogan, Rogan’s response, and the critical question from a NYT reporter. They also welcome bipartisan sanctions aimed at Russia if it invades Ukraine but deeply groan at the pathetic description of the bill as “the mother of all sanctions.” And they assess reports that the Biden White House is deeply frustrated with HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra and discussing who could do a better job.

Bravo for Barrett, Trump’s Taxes, Lefties vs. ACB
Listen to “Bravo for Barrett, Trump’s Taxes, Lefties vs. ACB” on Spreaker.
Join Jim and Greg as they cheer President Trump’s selection of Judge Amy Coney Barrett for the U.S. Supreme Court. They also dig into the New York Times story on Trump’s taxes and discuss what might be damaging and what’s just noise. And they discuss the spectrum of attacks Democrats and their media allies are aiming at Judge Barrett – from Obamacare scares to bashing her for being a working mom to why adopting kids from Haiti is somehow troubling.
