Why More Latinos Voted GOP, Biden’s Ongoing Afghan Fiction, Psaki’s CBO Nonsense

by

Listen to “Why More Latinos Voted GOP, Biden’s Ongoing Afghan Fiction, Psaki’s CBO Nonsense” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome research from a left-leaning firm showing that a growing number of Latino voters are very concerned that Democrats are embracing socialism and other far-left positions – and it is translating into more Latino support for Republicans. They also sigh as President Biden yet again claims there was no better way to withdraw from Afghanistan. And Jim is briefly left speechless as White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki says the Congressional Budget Office score of the latest massive spending bill is “fake.”

Cuban Voters Staying with GOP, NY Dems Moving On? Europe’s Vaccine Pause

by

Listen to “Cuban Voters Staying with GOP, NY Dems Moving On? Europe’s Vaccine Pause” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they cheer new polling showing that Cuban voters have swung dramatically back towards the Republican Party and strongly against the Obama-Biden approach to Cuba. Their jaws are also on the floor as New York voters want Gov. Andrew Cuomo to stay in office by a fairly wide margin and continue to think he’s done a great job handling the pandemic –  except for the thousands of nursing home deaths.  And Jim unloads on the notion of European sophistication as 15 countries suspend use of the AstraZeneca vaccine.

Weekend at Bernie’s

by

Listen to “Weekend at Bernie’s” on Spreaker.

Start your week with the Three Martini Lunch as we dissect the good, the bad, and the crazy concerning the Nevada Democratic Caucuses. Join Jim and Greg as they experience more than a little bit of schadenfreude as Democrats thoroughly freak out over Bernie Sanders dominating the vote on Saturday. But they get more serious as ’60 Minutes’ and even CNN remind everyone how radical Sanders is and how he praised Fidel Castro and Marxists in Nicaragua and the Soviet Union. And they unload on Nevada Democrats for running terrible caucuses plagued by having too few officials to run some precincts effectively and still not finishing the vote totals by Monday morning.

Dem Debate Brawl, Economic Satisfaction Soars, Should Billionaires Exist?

by

Listen to “Dem Debate Brawl, Economic Satisfaction Soars, Should Billionaires Exist?” on Spreaker.

The Democrats debated in Las Vegas last night and they put on quite the show. Join Jim and Greg as they walk through the major dust-ups between Bloomberg and Warren, Bloomberg and Sanders, and Klobuchar and Buttigieg and try to figure out what the impact will be on the race for the nomination. They’re also thrilled to see a new poll from Gallup showing Americans with the highest satisfaction in the state of the U.S. since 2005 and lopsided numbers of citizens optimistic about the economy and where it is headed. And they go back to the debate to focus on NBC’s Chuck Todd asking Michael Bloomberg whether billionaires should exist.

Wolf vs. Mazie, Another Top Terrorist Dead, Walsh Prepared to Back Bernie

by

Listen to “Wolf vs. Mazie, Another Top Terrorist Dead, Walsh Prepared to Back Bernie” on Spreaker.

Wrap up this crazy, eventful week with the Friday Three Martini Lunch. Jim and Greg start with a quick cheer for the January jobs report before moving on to the three main discussions of the day. First, they get a kick out of Hawaii Sen. Mazie Hirono telling CNN’s Wolf Blitzer that President Trump wasn’t really acquitted and Blitzer pointing out in detail that, in fact,  Trump really was found not guilty. They also celebrate the intelligence and military precision that combined to target and kill Qassim al-Rimi, the leader of Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. And Jim unleashes a devastating rant against now former Republican presidential candidate Joe Walsh, who has now flip-flopped to the point where he vows to vote for whoever wins the Democratic nomination, even if it’s an avowed socialist.

Young Conservatives Fight Back Against Socialist Push

by

Listen to “Young Conservatives Fight Back Against Socialist Push” on Spreaker.

Socialism is getting increasingly popular.  A recent Gallup poll shows 49 percent of Millennials and Gen Z have a favorable view of socialism.  Other surveys show as many as 57 percent embrace it.  And while the numbers are far different among Gen X and Boomers, roughly a third of them give socialism a thumbs up too.

But why is socialism popular, particularly among young adults?  While many have difficulty articulating their views, others have embraced the idea of “democratic socialism” as espoused by Sen. Bernie Sanders.

Young Americans Against Socialism CEO Morgan Zegers sees this up close on a daily basis.  After having an avowed communist as a good friend and college roommate, Zegers decided her generation needed to push back against the political tide.

In this conversation with Greg Corombos, Zegers details how she responds to the appeal of democratic socialism and why the facts of history are on her side.  She also stresses that conservatives need to befriend and not mock those who really don’t know why they like socialism.

Adios Morales, GOP’s Suburban Swoon, ABC’s Epstein Fiasco

by

Listen to “Adios Morales, GOP’s Suburban Swoon, ABC’s Epstein Fiasco” on Spreaker.

Thanks for joining the Three Martini Lunch today.  Once again, Rob Long of National Review and Ricochet is sitting in for Jim.  Today, we celebrate the resignation of socialist Bolivian dictator Evo Morales and notice how very sad the mainstream media and far left politicians are that Morales is no longer in power.  They also note the retirement of New York GOP Rep. Peter King, and while they don’t really care if King retires. they see it as further evidence that things look bleak for Republicans in the suburbs in 2020.  And they chronicle ABC and CBS acting like the Keystone Cops in apparently firing the wrong person for leaking the Amy Robach rant against ABC for spiking the Jeffrey Epstein story for three years.  Rob is also shaking his head at the producer tearfully insisting she would never make public something as compelling as Robach’s comments.

Listen to “Abbott Shines, YouTube’s “Borderline” Censorship, AOC on the Run” on Spreaker.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America praise Texas Governor Greg Abbott for a series of conservative legislative victories. They also react as YouTube admits it is suppressing what it deems “borderline” content. And in a double crazy martini, they discuss Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (literally) running from Republican competition while reportedly entertaining a future primary challenge to either Sen. Chuck Schumer or Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand.

Why Isn’t Maduro Leaving Venezuela?

by

Listen to “Why Isn’t Maduro Leaving Venezuela?” on Spreaker.

President Trump is applying stiff sanctions against Venezuela and demanding that Nicholas Maduro give up power, but Maduro isn’t leaving and the tough U.S. stance may actually be helping China, Russia, and Iran gain a foothold in the Americas.

The Trump administration wants to see Maduro go in favor of Juan Guaido, but instead of folding under the pressure of U.S.-led diplomacy, Maduro is now cozying up to some of our greatest adversaries.

American Foreign Policy Council Senior Fellow Larry Haas, a former Clinton administration official, says the U.S. demand for Maduro to go is futile and that Trump doesn’t have other leverage – much like President Obama’s demand for Bashar al-Assad to give up power in Syria back in 2013.

Listen to the full podcast to hear Haas explain why he believes the Trump administration is weakening its position on Venezuela through actions taken on other issues.  He also explain what policy positions might be more effective and why China, Russia, and Iran are so interested in helping Maduro.
