by

Listen to “2023 Martini Awards Part 3: Biggest Lie, Best Political Theater, Worst Political Theater” on Spreaker.

We hope you had a wonderful Christmas! Jim and Greg are back today for the third round of the Three Martini Lunch Awards. Today, they discuss the Biggest Lie, Best Political Theater, and Worst Political Theater of 2023.
They start with the biggest lies of the year. Jim kicks things off my questioning the conventional wisdom that seems to be building from recent polls, while Greg takes aim at a lie that the right has been fighting for decades.
Then it’s time for the best political theater of 2023, with Jim choosing some important events connected to American politics and Greg finding his winner far south of the border.
Finally, they cringe remembering the worst political theater of 2023. Jim chooses a very troubling fact we see playing out almost every day in our national politics and Greg looks back at an ugly moment in state politics that gripped the nation.
Please join us on Wednesday as Jim and Greg hand out their awards for Best Political Idea, Worst Political Idea, and Boldest Tactic for 2023.
Thanks for listening to the 3 Martini Lunch!

Cruz’n Ahead of Beto, Holder’s Horrible Advice, Bredesen’s Big Con

by

Listen to “Cruz'n Ahead of Beto, Holder's Horrible Advice, Bredesen's Big Con” on Spreaker.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America are pleased to see Ted Cruz opening up a nine point lead over Beto O’Rourke in the Texas U.S. Senate race and it looks like very few voters are likely to change their minds.  They also react to former Attorney General Eric Holder telling activists that when Republicans go low, Democrats should kick them.  And Democrat Phil Bredesen’s Tennessee campaign staffers are caught on camera admitting Bredesen really hates Trump and only said he would have voted for Brett Kavanaugh to pander to moderate Republicans.

Corker Stays Out, Dems Push Gun Ban, Celebs Run for Congress, Honoring Buckley

by


Jim Geraghty of Radio America and Greg Corombos of Radio America welcome the news that Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker will not become “the Brett Favre of politics” as the senator confirms he will honor his initial decision not to run for re-election this year.  They also discuss efforts by House Democrats to ban every semi-automatic firearm that has a detachable magazine and every one that can hold more than ten rounds, with Jim detailing the random, uninformed approach Democrats appear to be taking on this issue.  They have some fun with the news actress Stacey Dash and former MSNBC hothead Dylan Ratigan are running for Congress.  And they pay tribute to National Review Founder William F. Buckley, Jr. ten years after his death.
