Americans Want Smaller Government, How the Tariffs Hurt Russia, Stephen A. Smith for President?

April 8, 2025 by GregC

Listen to “Americans Demand Smaller Government, How the Tariffs Hurt Russia, Stephen A. Smith for President?” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg for 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss breaking news in the New Hampshire Senate race, a poll showing strong public demand for lower federal spending, how Trump-era tariffs may end up weakening Russia, and the strange presidential buzz surrounding ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith.

First, just two days after President Trump publicly backed former New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu for U.S. Senate, Sununu has announced he will not enter the race. Jim and Greg briefly assess how this could impact Republican chances of flipping the seat in 2026.

Next, they dig into a new Wall Street Journal poll showing more than two-thirds of Americans want federal spending cut. While not all support the GOP’s approach, the poll confirms deep frustration with nearly $37 trillion in national debt and massive annual deficits. Jim questions how many Americans would agree on where to cut, while Greg recalls the narrow political window when this debt crisis might have been averted in the 1990s.

Then, they’re pleased to see one way Trump’s tariff strategy is already creating pressure on Russia. One of the side effects of the new policy is that oil prices are down significantly since last week. Jim tells us how sustained lower prices could spell big trouble for Putin economically and militarily.

Finally, they roll their eyes at growing chatter about ESPN personality Stephen A. Smith running for president in 2028. And now Smith himself is saying he’s starting to think about it. Smith gained attention last year for supporting Kamala Harris but frequently calling out Democrats for being out of touch – especially on some key cultural issues. Jim and Greg dismiss the hype and even joke that Smith wouldn’t be the best presidential pick at ESPN.

NY Court Nixes Non-Citizen Voting, America’s Massive Political Divide, Government-Run Groceries?

March 20, 2025 by GregC

Listen to “NY Court Nixes Non-Citizen Voting, America’s Massive Political Divide, Government-Run Groceries?” on Spreaker.

Undisputed King of Stuff and Sink the Rising Sun author Jon Gabriel fills in for Jim today. Join Jon and Greg as they discuss New York’s top court striking down non-citizen voting, the widening political divide between men and women—especially by education level—and a New York City mayoral candidate pushing for government-run grocery stores.

First, they welcome the New York Court of Appeals decision to strike down a New York City law that allowed non-citizens to vote in local elections. They emphasize the importance of restricting voting to citizens and warn of the risks posed by non-citizen participation. Jon also explains why similar efforts have failed to gain traction in his state of Arizona.

Next, they analyze NBC News polling that reveals a stark divide in political views between men and women, particularly between non-college-educated men and college-educated women. Jon explores why college-educated women have shifted so far left and shares insights from his college-age daughters and their peers about how they view politics and what ideas they are encountering on campus.

Finally, they critique New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s proposal for government-run grocery stores with artificially low prices. They explain why it’s bad economics and point to the Soviet Union as a glaring example of why this approach cannot work and always ends in misery.

Trump’s Strong Polls, Trump’s Concerning Labor Nominee, Super Bowl Spectacle

February 10, 2025 by GregC

Listen to “Trump’s Strong Polls, Trump’s Concerning Labor Nominee, Super Bowl Spectacle” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg for 3 Martini Lunch as they analyze strong CBS poll numbers for President Trump, his controversial Labor Secretary pick, and their thoughts on Super Bowl LIX.

First, they react to President Trump’s positive poll numbers just three weeks into his term. Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan appeared less than pleased to report Trump’s 53% approval rating and that 70% of Americans believe he’s keeping his promises. They discuss how future polling will depend on Trump’s handling of unexpected events and argue that the media’s relentless negativity isn’t swaying public opinion much at all.

Next, they examine the push to derail Trump’s Labor Secretary pick, former Oregon Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer. The National Right to Work Committee warns that she backs the PRO Act, which would ban the right to work without union membership and severely impact freelancers. They also question whether this nomination is a reward for some labor unions refusing Kamala Harris or whether Trump is shifting his stance on labor policy. But in all honesty, blocking this nomination will be very difficult.

Finally, they break down Super Bowl LIX—from the Philadelphia Eagles’ dominant win over the Kansas City Chiefs to commercials. Plus, Jim explains the not-so-subtle messaging inside Kendrick Lamar’s halftime show while Greg wishes there wasn’t a halftime show at all.

Capitol Hill Chaos, How Staffers Tried to Hide Biden’s Decline, Trump Sues Iowa Pollster

December 19, 2024 by GregC

Listen to “Capitol Hill Chaos, How Staffers Tried to Hide Biden’s Decline, Trump Sues Iowa Pollster” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg on 3 Martini Lunch as they delve into the latest government funding battle, troubling revelations about how the Biden administration tried to hide the president’s condition, and Donald Trump’s lawsuit over a controversial Iowa poll.

First, they analyze the chaotic developments surrounding government funding. While they’re relieved a bloated spending bill was blocked, they question why Speaker Mike Johnson allowed it to get so bad and become public so late in the process. They also highlight why hurricane relief deserved its own bill months ago, the potential consequences of a Christmas-season government shutdown, and how these issues might shape the upcoming Speaker of the House election.

Next, they react to a Wall Street Journal report exposing efforts by the Biden White House to conceal the president’s declining faculties from cabinet members, lawmakers, and you. Despite their attempts,Jim and Greg argue Biden’s struggles remained glaringly evident to observers.

Finally, they break down Trump’s lawsuit against Iowa pollster Ann Selzer. Trump is accusing her of fraud over a late poll showing Kamala Harris ahead by three points in Iowa—a result sharply at odds with Trump’s 13-point victory in the state.

RFK Jr.’s Pro-Life Promises, Biden’s Border Sabotage, Shocking CEO Murder Polls

December 18, 2024 by GregC

Listen to “RFK Jr.’s Pro-Life Promises, Biden’s Border Sabotage, Shocking CEO Murder Polls” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg on the 3 Martini Lunch, as they discuss Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s surprising pro-life promises to lawmakers, the unconscionable auction of border wall materials in the final days of the Biden administration, and the shocking polling on Americans’ views regarding the murder of a health insurance CEO.

First, they delve into the reports from Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley that Health and Human Services nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is promising strong pro-life policies if he is confirmed. This  includes support for Trump-era policies like ending taxpayer-funded abortions and restoring conscience protections for healthcare workers. Will pro-life voters be satisfied?

Next, they discuss the Biden administration’s decision to auction off materials for the border wall in Arizona, preventing the Trump administration from utilizing them to secure the border. The move could delay construction and raise costs significantly compared to when Trump was in office before.Finally, they analyze disturbing new polling results showing that young Americans narrowly approve of the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. They explore what these numbers say about public perception of the health care sector and how young adults can excuse such a heinous crime.

America Hates Hunter’s Pardon, Schiff’s Staggering Hypocrisy, What’s in the New Jersey Sky?

December 11, 2024 by GregC

Listen to “America Hates Hunter’s Pardon, Schiff’s Staggering Hypocrisy, What’s in the New Jersey Sky?” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they tackle Americans’ overwhelming rejection of President Biden pardoning his son, Sen. Adam Schiff’s sudden shift on political prosecutions, and a mysterious phenomenon in the New Jersey sky.

They kick off with an AP poll revealing just 22% of Americans support a Hunter Biden pardon. Opposition is strong across party lines, with independents and even many Democrats hesitant to back the move.

Next, they call out new California Sen. Adam Schiff, a former House Intelligence Committee chairman, for decrying presidential prosecutions in a democracy, despite his past vocal support for pursuing Trump over alleged Russia collusion. Jim also says Schiff has yet to pay any significant price for grossly misleading the American people during the Russia probe.

Finally, they delve into the strange sightings in the New Jersey sky. With drones or drone-like objects puzzling locals, the FBI and military both say they don’t know what’s happening. As a New Jersey native, Jim offers both serious and lighthearted theories on the mystery.

The Markets & the Candidates, Debates Over Debates, Biden on Mt. Rushmore?

August 5, 2024 by GregC

Listen to “The Markets & the Candidates, Debates Over Debates, Biden on Mt. Rushmore?” on Spreaker.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour Host Scot Bertram is in for Jim. Today, Scot and Greg tackle a comprehensive new CBS News poll that may give us some insights into which candidate Americans will trust more if the economy is about to sour in a significant way. They also dissect the Trump-Harris spat over when and where to debate, and they roll their eyes as Nancy Pelosi suggests that President Biden belongs on Mount Rushmore.

First, they note the plunging markets worldwide and the various factors that seem to be playing into it. Then they dive into a new CBS News/YouGov poll examining what impact voters think Trump and Harris would have on their personal finances, the border, and much more.

Then, they dive into the back-and-forth between Trump and Harris as they fight over the terms of any upcoming debates. Trump says he’s agreed to one with Fox News and is not going to appear at the second debate he originally scheduled with Joe Biden. Harris accuses Trump of running scared and won’t do the Fox News event. So as of now, there is no debate scheduled. Will that change and who stands to benefit most by having at least one?

Finally, they laugh as Nancy Pelosi tells CBS Sunday Morning that Joe Biden’s “consequential” presidency merits his addition to Mount Rushmore. They explain how the American people already rendered a clear verdict on Biden’s time and how Pelosi is furiously trying to remove her fingerprints from the successful campaign to end Biden’s re-election campaign.

Border Rush in El Paso, Green Agenda Choking Freedom, Palestinian Poll Ruins Dem Narrative

March 22, 2024 by GregC

Listen to “Border Rush in El Paso, Green Agenda Choking Freedom, Palestinian Poll Ruins Dem Narrative” on Spreaker.

Undisputed King of Stuff, columnist, and longtime Ricochet Editor-in-Chief Jon Gabriel is in for Jim today. Today, Jon and Greg tackle three lousy martinis centered on the critical issues of national security and basic economic freedoms.

First, they react to Thursday’s horrifying rush of illegal aliens towards Texas National Guard troops and our border fence in El Paso, Texas. And despite this lawlessness, many of those people were allowed into the U.S.

Next, they fume over President Biden’s EPA announcing new emissions standards that would force electric vehicles to be a significant majority of new car purchases by 2032. Not only does this strangle economic choice but it’s pure fantasy that our power grid can handle that massive surge in demand within a few years. And what if EV emissions are actually worse than those of regular cars? A new study suggests that’s actually the case.

Finally, they analyze a new poll of Palestinians which proves the Democrats’ narrative on the Middle East is a lie. Palestinians do not condemn Hamas and they don’t want peace with Israel.

Voters Reject Biden Migrant Flights, The Trump-Media ‘Bloodbath’, The Dems’ Kamala Problem

March 18, 2024 by GregC

Listen to “Voters Reject Biden Migrant Flights, The Trump-Media ‘Bloodbath’, The Dems’ Kamala Problem” on Spreaker.

Inez Stepman of the Independent Women’s Forum and host of the “High Noon” podcast is in for Jim. Today, Inez and Greg discuss discerning voters, a thoroughly dishonest mainstream media, and the Dems getting awfully defensive about Kamala Harris.
First, they welcome a new poll showing 60 percent of likely voters opposing the Biden administration flying hundreds of thousands of migrants into the U.S. who have no legal justification for being here. And 46 percent strongly oppose it. They also take time to slam Senate GOP leadership for being so out of touch with the public and even their own members by thinking the Senate immigration bill would be acceptable to most Republicans.
Next, they dissect the absurdly dishonest media reporting that Donald Trump promised a “bloodbath” for this country if he is not elected in November, when the context of the quote makes it painfully obvious he was saying the auto industry would see a bloodbath if Biden gets four more years. They also discuss how there are a dwindling number of places to find the truth in situations like these.
Finally, they get a kick out of the left excoriating anti-Trump Washington Post columnist Kathleen Parker for suggesting Vice President Kamala Harris should step down from the ticket because the VP’s deep unpopularity creates another liability for a president who has quite a few already. The response to Parker’s suggestion consisted of the typical accusations of racism, misogyny, and everything except the actual merits of the argument. Inez explains why she finds it “beautiful” to see the left coming face-to-face with the reality that Harris was hired based on diversity instead of competence and the results are disastrous.

Biden Trounced on Key Issues, Horrible Border Bill, Dem Voters Ignore Alternatives

February 5, 2024 by GregC

Listen to “Biden Trounced on Key Issues, Horrible Border Bill, Dem Voters Ignore Alternatives” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they dissect horrible polling numbers for President Biden, an easy win for him in the South Carolina primary, and the absolute non-starter of a border security bill.

First, they dig through an NBC poll showing Biden not only trailing Donald Trump but getting trounced by large margins on issues ranging from border security to the economy to crime to America’s standing in the world. And the approval numbers for Vice President Kamala Harris are even worse than Biden’s.

They also shudder as the early warnings about the contents of a border security bill are proven accurate – from allowing nearly 5,000 illegal entries per day in perpetuity to liberally issued work permits for those waiting to have their alleged asylum claims ruled upon.

Finally, polling regularly shows that Democrats are leery about having President Biden as their nominee again in 2024 but you’d never know it by how easily he crushed his low-profile rivals in Saturday’s South Carolina primary. Turnout may have been exceedingly low, but it’s obvious that neither of his challengers provide much appeal for the base.
