SCOTUS Rules Trump Stays on Ballot, Univ. of Florida Kills DEI, Oregon Backtracks on Hard Drugs

by

Listen to “SCOTUS Rules Trump Stays on Ballot, Univ. of Florida Kills DEI, Oregon Backtracks on Hard Drugs” on Spreaker.

It’s nothing but good martinis for Jim and Greg on Monday’s 3 Martini Lunch!

First, Jim declares vindication after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that Donald Trump must be allowed on the Colorado GOP primary ballot after that state’s supreme court kicked him off based on the insurrection clause of Section 3 in the 14th Amendment. Jim says without a conviction or even an indictment for insurrection, taking such action against Trump was a very weak legal position.

Next, they welcome the University of Florida eliminating DEI (“Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion”) programs and personnel. It’s not only the right move but it also showcases the leadership of Gov. Ron DeSantis getting this policy through the Florida legislature and University of Florida Pres. Ben Sasse for implementing it.

Finally, they cheer Oregon for correcting a 2020 referendum that decriminalized personal use amounts of drugs, including hard drugs like meth and heroin. Oregon subsequently fell to 50th in access to drug treatment and witnesses a spike in overdoses. Jim says this is another example of how reality did not turn out anything like the experts insisted it would.

Oregon Ready to Repeal, Housing Market Headaches, Assessing Vivek

by

Listen to “Oregon Ready to Repeal, Housing Market Headaches, Assessing Vivek” on Spreaker.

Ricochet Editor-in-Chief Jon Gabriel is in for Jim. Today, Jon and Greg follow up on a recent martini and welcome even more evidence that Oregon voters are ready to reverse the 2020 referendum that gave people possessing hard drugs like heroin and fentanyl a small fine instead of jail time. A new poll shows a strong majority of Oregon voters ready for a full repeal or significant changes to the law. They also cringe at the state of the housing market as interest rates keep rising and the inventory of houses on the market plummets compared to pre-pandemic levels. Finally, they take a closer look at Vivek Ramaswamy and whether recent controversies about his statements on Israel and Taiwan are unfair to him or whether Vivek is not ready for the big stage.

They also wince over unsurprising projections that Social Security recipients will see massive drops in benefits if there aren’t major reforms in the next decade. Finally, they react to reporting from National Review’s Ryan Mills that a strong majority of Oregon voters deeply regret legalizing hard drugs. The impact on users and their communities is immense.

GOP Chance in Oregon, Red State Jobs Boom, Stelter Out at CNN

by

Listen to “GOP Chance in Oregon, Red State Jobs Boom, Stelter Out at CNN” on Spreaker.

It’s all good martinis today! Join Jim and Greg as they welcome news that the Oregon governor’s race is a toss-up thanks to a former Democrat running as an independent. They also celebrate news that the strong hiring numbers we’ve seen in the wake of the pandemic are overwhelmingly powered by Republican-led states. And they discuss why it was long past time for Brian Stelter to be shown the door at CNN after constantly turning a program designed to objectively evaluate the media into a cheerleading session for the left.

Cuomo Resigns

by

Listen to “Cuomo Resigns” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they dissect the much-needed resignation of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. They also shudder as 19 Republicans in the Senate support the badly bloated infrastructure bill.

Abbott Acts on Border Crisis, Stunning COVID Cover Up, Oregon Counties Want to Secede

by

Listen to “Abbott Acts on Border Crisis, Stunning COVID Cover Up, Oregon Counties Want to Secede” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they credit Texas Gov. Greg Abbott for taking action on the border crisis while the Biden administration dithers. They also react to the explosive Vanity Fair story exposing how State Department officials and scientists furiously tried to stop investigations into whether COVID-19 leaked from a Wuhan lab. And they sympathize with residents in eastern Oregon who want to secede to Idaho. While they think the likelihood of that happening is low, they also devise an incentive system for state governments to improve.

Oregon Police Punch Back, Biden’s Mask Mandate, 9/11 Tribute Cancelled

by

Listen to “Oregon Police Punch Back, Biden’s Mask Mandate, 9/11 Tribute Cancelled” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they cheer police in Oregon for vowing to pull back from parts of Portland after the local prosecutor refuses to press charges against rioters. They also slam Joe Biden for suggesting everyone needs to wear a mask outside of their homes regardless of the circumstances and for insisting on it for the next three months. And they vehemently disagree with New York City’s decision to cancel this year’s powerful 9/11 blue light display over COVID concerns.

Courts Rule for Freedom, Trump & HCQ, The Left’s #MeToo Inconvenience

by

Listen to “Courts Rule for Freedom, Trump & HCQ, The Left’s #MeToo Inconvenience” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they celebrate courts in Wisconsin and Oregon siding with freedom over heavy-handed governors, although Oregon Supreme Court just overruled the lower court and sided with the governor. They’re also exasperated as President Trump takes hydroxychloroquine, despite testing negative for coronavirus, in the latest salvo in this bizarre battle over whether the drug helps treat COVID-19. They also hammer House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for making the fight even more juvenile. And they respond to a liberal opinion writer in the New York Times pathetically changing what they really meant by #BelieveWomen so it doesn’t apply to Joe Biden and Tara Reade.

Merkley Accepts Reality, Crenshaw’s Clear Conservatism, Hillary Rules Out 2020

by

Listen to “Merkley Accepts Reality, Crenshaw’s Clear Conservatism, Hillary Rules Out 2020” on Spreaker.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America applaud Oregon Senator Jeff Merkley’s decision to not run in 2020 but ask if his announcement was really necessary since very few Americans have any idea who he is. They also take a deep breath of fresh air as Texas Rep. Dan Crenshaw gives a clear and calm defense of conservative principles that is often missing from our public dialogue. And Jim notes the Clinton era ends in a whimper as Hillary officially states that she will not run for president in 2020.

Pelosi Persists, Reality Winner Loses, Will Resistance Fatigue Boost GOP?

by

Listen to “Pelosi Persists, Reality Winner Loses, Will Resistance Fatigue Boost GOP?” on Spreaker.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America begin by reflecting upon the grim news that Sen. John McCain will discontinue treatment for brain cancer.  Then they tackle three good martinis, starting with House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi insisting she will run for Speaker of the House if Democrats win the majority, thereby preserving one of the GOP’s best arguments for keeping control.  They also welcome the five-year prison sentence for Reality Winner, the NSA contractor who leaked classified information to the media.  And they marvel at polls showing a dead heat in the Oregon governor’s race, which seems to be a result of non-stop protests in the state that snarl traffic, exhaust law enforcement, and leave areas thoroughly trashed.
