NYT’s Unobscured Trump Attack, Trump Wants to Reopen Alcatraz, The Obamas’ Endless Whining

May 5, 2025 by GregC

Listen to “NYT’s Unobscured Trump Attack, Trump Wants to Reopen Alcatraz, The Obamas’ Endless Whining” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg for Tuesday’s 3 Martini Lunch as they dig into the New York Times’ latest attempt to undermine President Trump and congressional Republicans, Trump’s push to reopen Alcatraz as a federal prison, and Michelle Obama’s newest, tiresome complaints about life in the White House.

First, they tear into the New York Times for framing the Congressional Review Act (CRA) as an “obscure” tool possibly being misused by Republicans to undo Biden-era regulations. The article warns readers that opponents can’t filibuster CRA rollbacks—something the left suddenly finds troubling now that Republicans control Congress. Jim dismantles the Times’ arguments, defends Trump’s use of the CRA, and calls out the media’s hypocritical coverage of these tactics.

Next, they react to President Trump’s call to reopen Alcatraz as a prison for the nation’s most dangerous criminals. He also hints at sending criminal illegals there, blaming judges “that are afraid to do their job and allow us to remove criminals.” Jim and Greg aren’t sure that specifically rebuilding Alcatraz is the answer, but they do like the like of sending our worst criminals top laces that will be remote and will become synonymous with a thoroughly miserable experience for the inmates. And some of their ideas for how to do this are out of this world.

Finally, they roll their eyes at Michelle Obama’s latest White House grievances—this time about paying for their own private meals and also travel for their children when the president wasn’t with them. Jim and Greg are tired of how the Obamas continue to portray themselves as victims while enjoying elite status—but are enjoy seeing how their political influence continues to fade within the Democratic Party.

Deportations Ramping Up, An AI Surveillance State? Obama’s Democracy Demagoguery

January 24, 2025 by GregC

Listen to “Deportations Ramping Up, An AI Surveillance State? Obama’s Democracy Demagoguery” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg on 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss the increasing deportations of criminal illegal immigrants to Larry Ellison’s alarming vision of a surveillance state to Barack Obama’s latest condescending remarks on democracy and political alliances.

First, Jim and Greg express their approval of the Trump administration’s swift action to apprehend and deport more than a thousand criminal illegals, with deportation flights already underway. They emphasize the importance of political leaders addressing issues head-on rather than just running on them.

Next, they react to Oracle founder Larry Ellison’s disturbing suggestion that a nationwide surveillance system will soon track police and civilians through cameras everywhere, supposedly keeping everyone on their best behavior through AI monitoring. Jim and Greg strongly prefer letting Americans retain the freedoms they still have. Ellison also visited the White House recently for the announcement of a $500 billion AI infrastructure project, leading to public backlash from Elon Musk. Jim analyzes the potential impact on the Trump-Musk relationship.

Finally, Jim and Greg groan as Barack Obama addresses the Democracy Forum, complaining about voters not prioritizing democracy in the 2024 election. Obama implies that the left should focus on getting more people to agree with him, rather than engaging in self-reflection. It’s an arrogance that’s unlikely to win him many new friends.

Trump’s Border Crackdown, Fauci’s Puzzling Pardon, Trump’s TikTok Proposal

January 22, 2025 by GregC

Listen to “Trump’s Border Crackdown, Fauci’s Puzzling Pardon, Trump’s TikTok Proposal” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg for 3 Martini Lunch as they dive into Trump’s tough border measures, the curious dates of Anthony Fauci’s pardon, and Trump’s freelancing on TikTok policy.

First, they cheer a report from Border Czar Tom Homan that fewer than 800 people illegally crossed our southwestern border on Trump’s first day, the Coast Guard stepping up against sea-based migration, and once-defiant Democrats now supporting ICE deportations of criminal illegals.

Next, they react to The Spectator’s reporting on Fauci’s pardon, which protects him from prosecution dating back to the start of 2014. Why? The answer seems to be connected to Fauci’s defiance of an Obama administration order against further gain of function research.

Finally, they discuss Trump’s public push for a TikTok sale, including his suggestion that the “United States of America” should control 50 percent of it. Does he want the government to have significant control over the app or is this merely a negotiating tactic? Either way, Jim says TikTok remains a national security threat and Trump needs to enforce the ban until a sale is actually imminent.

Mayor Bass Fails Los Angeles, Carter Funeral Intrigue, Biden’s ‘Bonkers’ Election Claim

January 9, 2025 by GregC

Listen to “Mayor Bass Fails Los Angeles, Carter Funeral Intrigue, Biden’s ‘Bonkers’ Election Claim” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg for 3 Martini Lunch as they reflect on the litany of mistakes made by Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass in the past week, the early portions of the Carter funeral including some curious interactions among the presidents and vice presidents, and President Biden’s “flat-out bonkers” claim that he would have beaten Donald Trump in the 2024 election if he hadn’t dropped out.

First, Jim takes a deep dive into how Mayor Karen Bass is handling the wildfire crisis in Los Angeles. Despite emerging warnings about wildfire dangers, Bass chose to travel to Ghana and stayed there, even after the situation escalated. Her lack of candor and shaky public appearances since returning have also been painful to watch.

Next, they comment on Jimmy Carter’s funeral – both what was said in the early parts of the service and the fascinating interactions – or lack of interactions – among current and former presidents and vice presidents and their spouses. The Biden-Harris, Trump-Pence, and Trump-Obama exchanges were of particular note.

Finally, Jim and Greg react to President Biden’s stunning claim in a USA Today interview, where he asserted that he would have defeated Donald Trump if he had stayed in the 2024 race. Even CNN dismissed his comments as “flat-out bonkers.” Jim points out how recent events and Biden’s actions over the last four years make it clear that he is not equipped to lead the country.

Why Trump Won, Why Harris Lost, Other Winners and Losers

November 8, 2024 by GregC

Listen to “Why Trump Won, Why Harris Lost, Other Winners and Losers” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg for this special edition as they examine which factors helped propel Donald Trump’s return to the presidency, why Kamala Harris ended up losing more decisively than most observers could have imagined, and which other figures ended up as big winners or losers based on the results Tuesday night.

First, they examine Donald Trump’s stunning political comeback and why Americans chose to return him to the White House with a far more convincing victory than he had eight years ago. And while volumes will be written about this, Jim and Greg suggest Trump simply talked about what voters cared about most and in a way that made them trust him more to tackle the big problems.

Then, they go through a litany of issues that plagued the Harris campaign, from the way Dems shoved Joe Biden aside and nominated Harris without a primary to Kamala’s flip-flopping and inability to answer questions to her very bad choice of Tim Walz as her running mate.

Lastly, they consider who else comes out of this election season as big winners or losers. They aim a lot of their criticism at the shameless partisanship of the mainstream media, and the election results prove people no longer buy into their hysterical coverage. They also call out the elite Democrats like Barack Obama who orchestrated the ouster of Biden and spent the final weeks scolding people for not liking Harris enough. As for the winners, Greg points out another billionaire who had a very good Tuesday night and Jim gives credit to the man who might have reversed the momentum in favor of the Trump campaign.

Casey’s Curious Family Funding, Obama Double-Crosses Biden, Bill Kristol’s Political Fiction

July 11, 2024 by GregC

Listen to “Casey’s Curious Family Funding, Obama Double-Crosses Biden, Bill Kristol’s Political Fiction” on Spreaker.

Today, Jim and Greg discuss an attack ad that exposes Pennsylvania Sen. Bob Casey using his politics to help his siblings get rich, the news that former President Obama greenlit George Clooney’s New York Times op-ed calling for President Biden to step down from the race, and Bill Kristol’s ridiculous claim that Biden’s old age is the only thing working against Democrats in this election.

First, they applaud the Republican attack ad that takes Sen. Casey to task for using his position to enrich his family. They analyze the effect that this ad may have in the upcoming senate race, especially given that the ad ties Casey’s actions to the Hunter Biden scandal, which is still a recent memory.

Next, they shake their heads at what appears to be Obama’s attempts to publicly support Joe Biden but privately sabotage his campaign, greenlighting George Clooney to call for Bide to step aside from the presidential race. Jim thinks that if Obama believes Biden is not fit to be president, then he should tell Biden himself instead of making underhanded moves to hint that Biden should step down.

Finally, they dissect Bill Kristol’s recent tweet that the Democratic party and its policies are basically sound, and that Biden’s old age is the only thing holding them back. Jim and Greg point to the terrible results on the border, economics, and foreign policy that we have seen from this presidency, and wonder what backwards logic led Kristol to his conclusion.

NYT Poll Has Dems Trying to Shove Biden, Obama Says We’re All ‘Complicit’ in Middle East Mess, Rep. Tlaib’s ‘River to the Sea’ Gaslighting

November 6, 2023 by GregC

Listen to “NYT Poll Has Dems Trying to Shove Biden, Obama Says We’re All ‘Complicit’ in Middle East Mess, Rep. Tlaib’s ‘River to the Sea’ Gaslighting” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they respond to a new New York Times/Siena College showing Donald Trump leading President Biden in five of six swing states, and the calls from Democrats for Biden not to run next year are growing louder. But will he? Who would replace him? And this poll most damaging to Republican presidential candidates claiming that Donald Trump is unelectable?

They also slam former President Barack Obama for suggesting “all of us are complicit” for the ongoing mess in the Middle East. Jim outlines many of Obama’s failed approach to the Middle East that coddled Iran and put far more pressure on Israel than the people who don’t want Israel to exist.

Finally, they shred Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib for trying to claim that the chant “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” is about “peaceful coexistence” and not a call for violence and genocide.

Big GOP Edge on Economy, Iran’s U.S. Infiltration, Electoral College Unpopular

September 26, 2023 by GregC

Listen to “Big GOP Edge on Economy, Iran’s U.S. Infiltration, Electoral College Unpopular” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome a stunningly good poll from NBC News showing American voters trusting Republicans far more than Democrats to do a good job on the economy – the biggest edge for the GOP on this issue in 32 years. And Jim breaks down why Americans are very sour on the economy despite the Biden administration insisting that it’s great. They also shudder at a Semafor report showing that Iran infiltrated the Obama and Biden administrations as well as the media to push for softer relations toward the mullahs in Iran and the pathetic Iran nuclear deal. Finally, they groan as two-thirds of Americans want to scrap the Electoral College and choose presidents based on the popular vote, and they are especially irked at the 47 percent of Republicans who say they want that. Plus, they explain the wisdom shown by our founding fathers in creating the Electoral College.

Romney Not Running, Inflation Goes Higher, Vivek & TikTok

September 14, 2023 by GregC

Listen to “Romney Not Running, Inflation Goes Higher, Vivek & TikTok” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome Utah Sen. Mitt Romney recognizing that if your next term will take you into your mid-80s that it’s time to retire. They also look at the good and the bad of Romney’s time in the Senate and remember key moments and factors in his 2012 presidential loss to Barack Obama. They also shudder as inflation rises more than expected in August and how the average American family is getting pummeled by the cost of everything these days. Finally, Jim calls out Vivek Ramaswamy for changing his mind and joining the Chinese spyware known as TikTok because a prominent social media influencer told him to.
