Jim and Greg’s Political Spring Cleaning: The Policies and Politicians We Want to Throw Out

by

Listen to “Jim and Greg’s Political Spring Cleaning: The Policies and Politicians We Want to Throw Out” on Spreaker.

Jim and Greg are off for Good Friday but they’ve also been busy lately doing some spring cleaning—but not around the house. Greg is tossing out outdated policies, messages, and organizations, while Jim is ready to send a few politicians packing.

First, Greg targets the type of taxes he finds most infuriating. He’s not a fan of any taxes but there’s one he finds particularly burdensome and fundamentally unfair. Jim, meanwhile, celebrates the quiet departure of a Republican who dominated headlines late last year but is now largely forgotten—and not missed.

Next, Greg shifts his focus to education, identifying a major obstacle to our schools that, if eliminated, would greatly benefit students and restore academic integrity. Jim highlights a once-promising politician who failed to deliver, faced numerous legal issues, and appears headed for a huge political defeat this year.

Finally, Greg turns to the lighter side and takes aim at some of the most irritating TV commercials. While he is a huge fan of free speech, Greg explains why these ads are especially grating and need to go. Jim reflects on a political figure who has already stepped away from the spotlight—but wonders how long before he fades from public view altogether.

Today, Jim and Greg begin handing out the their prestigious annual 3 Martini Lunch Awards! Starting today and running through next week, they reveal theiir choices in categories ranging from rising star to best and worst political ideas to the stories the media ignored and the ones they could not stop talking about.

In this first installment, they offer their individual selections for Most Overrated Political Figure, Most Underrated Political Figure, and Most Honest Political Figure.

Jim and Greg are largely in agreement on whom they see as the most overrated political figure of the year, although they come at the selection from different perspectives.

When it comes to underrated political figures, they both pick presidential candidates but for very different reasons.

Finally, Jim’s choice for most honest political figure is someone he woud have never imagined just a few months ago, while Greg picks one of the few lawmakers who has no problem calling out his own side.

Don’t miss Friday’s special edition, when Jim and Greg list the political figures they were sorry to see pass away in 2023. They’ll also name their rising stars over the past year and people who seem to be fading into political oblivion.

Hogan Won’t Run, Zeldin’s GOP Pep Talk, Equality vs. Equity

by

Listen to “Hogan Won’t Run, Zeldin’s GOP Pep Talk, Equality vs. Equity” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan’s decision not to run for the GOP presidential nomination. They also cheer Lee Zeldin for imploring Republicans to go fight for every vote by going into every precinct (even the deep blue ones) and sharing conservative ideas on crime, education, economic growth and more. Finally, they enjoy watching Sen. Bernie Sanders sit dumbfounded as Bill Maher asks him to explain the difference between equality and equity. It’s a revealing moment because they are very different ideas that the left tries to use interchangeably to confuse people.

Answering Your Questions, Part 1

by

Listen to “Answering Your Questions, Part 1” on Spreaker.

We love our listeners and we love hearing from you! So we decided to ask what questions you’d like us to address.  Today we start with a great hypothetical. If conservatives won control of the House, Senate, and White House (with a supermajority in the Senate), which president from the past 100 years would we want setting the agenda and what would we want him to focus on. Then they take on a question asking what margin Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis needs to win re-election by to have real momentum for a 2024 presidential bad – and how damaging would it be for him if Sen. Marco Rubio wins by a wider margin?  Finally, they tackle a Terminator-themed political question in a crazy but intriguing final martini.

Agony and Heroism in Houston, Antifa’s Ugly Reality, Dem Circus Awaits in 2020

by


Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America lay out the extent of the devastation in Southeast Texas but also salute the first responders and big-hearted citizens who are rescuing their neighbors.  They also unload on Antifa, as the leftist mob attacks people in Berkeley and chants, “No Trump. No Wall. No USA at All.”  And they discuss the likely circus car of endless 2020 Democratic presidential hopefuls that will make the 17 GOP candidates in 2016 seems like a reasonable number.

Can Mitt Win Libertarians?

by

Ron Paul has stopped actively campaigning and Governor Romney has secured enough GOP delegates to win the Republican nomination. Radio America’s Vanessa Oblinger discusses the challenges and opportunities Romney faces to win over Paul supporters.
