Menendez Indicted, McCormick’s Clear Path, Bipartisan Dress Code Demands

September 22, 2023 by GregC

Listen to “Menendez Indicted, McCormick’s Clear Path, Bipartisan Dress Code Demands” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they serve up three good martinis related to the U.S. Senate. First, they welcome the pursuit of justice in what appears to be a lot of evidence against New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez and his wife on bribery and other accusations. They’re also glad to see Pennsylvania Republicans seemingly uniting around David McCormick in the tough fight to unseat incumbent Sen. Bob Casey, Jr. next year. Finally, they’re pleased that some prominent Democrats are joining most Republicans in demanding that Majority Leader Chuck Schumer reinstate the dress code on the Senate floor.

Lefty Donors Dwindling, Plastic Bottle Ban, Senate Doesn’t Suit Fetterman

September 20, 2023 by GregC

Listen to “Lefty Donors Dwindling, Plastic Bottle Ban, Senate Doesn’t Suit Fetterman” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they serve up a good martini and two crazy ones. First, they welcome the news that numerous far left organizations are folding or downsizing because their donations are drying up significantly. They also roll their eyes as Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey announces her government will no longer purchase single-use plastic bottles. Finally, Jim takes a close look at Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman and wonders whether he really wants to be in the Senate.

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.

Michigan Senate Hopes, Mask Wars Returning? Genetically-Modified People?

September 6, 2023 by GregC

Listen to “Michigan Senate Hopes, Mask Wars Returning? Genetically-Modified People?” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome former Michigan Rep. Mike Rogers to the Senate race to replace Sen. Debbie Stabenow. But they also note why this race is an uphill climb for any Republican. They also groan as the talk of COVID cases and restrictions ramps up again – including mask mandates at elementary schools. Finally, they slam and laugh at a leading bioethicist from New York University calling for genetically modifying people to be intolerant to meat as a means of supposedly combatting climate change.

Geraghty Returns, Personal Debt Delinquency Soars, McConnell Freezes Again

August 31, 2023 by GregC

Listen to “Geraghty Returns, Personal Debt Delinquency Soars, McConnell Freezes Again” on Spreaker.

Jim Geraghty is back! Today, Jim and Greg spend the good martini giving a short overview of Jim’s trip to Ukraine and what he learned there. Don’t miss Monday’s 3 Martini Lunch, when they devote their Labor Day episode to the good, bad, and crazy things that Jim observed in Ukraine. They also recoil as the percentages of Americans delinquent on credit card debt, auto loan debt, and and personal loan debt are at their highest levels in more than a decade. Finally, they react to another moment where Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell seems to freeze during a press conference, and Jim says McConnell’s team owes the American people a full, honest explanation of the senator’s health.

Is Menendez Vulnerable? Major Maui Mistakes, Trump’s Odd Request

August 18, 2023 by GregC

Listen to “Is Menendez Vulnerable? Major Maui Mistakes, Trump’s Odd Request” on Spreaker.

Jim and Greg begin today’s podcast with a tribute to former New York Sen. James Buckley. The brother of National Review Founder William F. Buckley, Jr., Jim Buckley served the nation with honor in World War II and then in all three branches of the federal government, including chief judge of the DC Circuit Court of Appeals. He was 100 years old.

Then they serve up their usual martinis, starting with a new Monmouth Poll showing New Jersey Sen. Robert Menendez has just a 35 percent approval rating heading into an election year – thanks in part to yet another federal investigation examining allegations of corruption. They also wince at all the apparent mistakes made by local officials before and during the horrific wildfires that devastated Lahaina. Finally, they’re curious why Trump is urging all the other Republican presidential candidates to drop out if he has such a huge lead.

Timestamps:

0:21 – Remembering former Senator and Judge James Buckley.

3:04 – New Jersey Sen. Menendez suffers low approval amidst another federal probe. Could the GOP have a chance to unseat him next year?

10:17 – Government mistakes made the Hawaii wildfire devastation even worse.

17:36 – Trump urges all other GOP presidential candidates to drop out.

Bipartisan Push on China, FBI & Catholics, Lake Likely to Run

August 10, 2023 by GregC

Listen to “Bipartisan Push on China, FBI & Catholics, Lake Likely to Run” on Spreaker.

Ricochet Editor-in-Chief Jon Gabriel is in for Jim. Before the martinis, Jon and Greg discuss the heartbreaking devastation in Lahaina caused by the wildfires on Maui. Then they are pleasantly surprised to see Republicans and Democrats working together to get to the bottom of the threat that Communist China poses to our nation and digging into many critical issues that other politicians seem content to ignore. They also fume as the House Judiciary Committee uncovers evidence that FBI Director Christopher Wray lied to lawmakers about the extent of FBI monitoring of Catholic churches. Wray says only one field office was engaged in such tactics but now we know there were at least three. Finally, they react to the news that Kari Lake is planning to run for U.S. Senate in Arizona. Jon, who is based in Arizona, explains why he suspects Lake will win the nomination but lose the general election and why Sen. Kyrsten Sinema may benefit the most if Lake gets in the race.

Timestamps:

0:40 – Horrific fire damage devastates Lahaina on Maui

2:20 – GOP & Dems working well together to examine the extent of the China threat in the U.S.

Pushing Back on China, Surprising Arizona Poll, Biden’s Gold Star Lie

August 8, 2023 by GregC

Listen to “Pushing Back on China, Surprising Arizona Poll, Biden’s Gold Star Lie” on Spreaker.

Ricochet Co-Founder Rob Long is in for Jim. Today, Rob and Greg are glad to see Italy on the brink of rescinding its cooperation with China’s aggressive Belt and Road economic agenda. They also react to new polling in Arizona showing the Republicans do worse in the Senate race if Sen. Sinema runs as an independent than in a head-to-head matchup with Democrats. Finally, they react to the heartbreaking testimony of the mother who lost her son in the Kabul airport blast and says all President Biden said to her was that his son “came home in a flag-draped coffin.” It’s a lie that Biden has repeated many times.

Timestamps:

0:46 – Italy pulls out of deal to help China advance it’s aggressive Belt and Road initiative.

6:09 – Arizona Senate poll shows Republicans do worse in a three-person race involving Sen. Sinema than in a head-to-head matchup with Democrats.

August 4, 2023 by GregC

Listen to “Feinstein Relinquishes Power, CNN Loses to NewsNation, Vivek & 9/11” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they whip up three crazy martinis to close out the week. First, they sigh as California Sen. Dianne Feinstein gives up power of attorney over her own legal affairs but not her seat in the U.S. Senate. Then they’re stunned as CNN ‘s ratings tank to the point that it loses a timeslot to NewsNation. Finally, Jim digs into comments from GOP presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy casting doubt about what the government has told us about the 9/11 attacks.

Judge Foils Hunter-DOJ Scheme, Mitch’s Scary Moment, DeSantis & RFK Jr.

July 27, 2023 by GregC

Listen to “Judge Foils Hunter-DOJ Scheme, Mitch’s Scary Moment, DeSantis & RFK Jr.” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they applaud Judge Maryellen Noreika for exposing the apparent agreement between the Justice Department and Hunter Biden that would have given Biden immunity on further prosecution related to his tax issues and business dealings. They also chronicle Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell being unable to speak on Capitol Hill Wednesday and are frustrated that his office won’t say anything beyond McConnell’s own insistence that he’s “fine.” Finally, Jim chides Gov. DeSantis for trying to win over RFK Jr. supporters and likely alienating people who would actually be inclined to vote for him.
Timestamps:
1:18 – The scuttled plea deal between the Justice Department and Hunter Biden stinks. Judge Noreika was right to question it.
8:12 – Sen. McConnell’s health scare and his office refusing to elaborate on what happened.
15:36 – Gov. DeSantis suggests he might “sic” RFK Jr. on the FDA or CDC if he’s president.
