Undisputed King of Stuff, columnist, and longtime Ricochet Editor-in-Chief Jon Gabriel is in for Jim today as he and Greg serve up a full round of bad/crazy martinis after giving a well-deserved shoutout to Florida for showing it is possible to interdict illegal immigration.
In their first crazy martini, they highlight Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders introducing legislation lowering the work week to just 32 hours but also demanding no drop in pay. In addition to the economic insanity, Jon points out that this runs afoul of America’s strong work ethic.
They also roll their eyes at the latest story suggesting Americans need to stop eating so much beef and dairy because cattle are supposedly responsible for the low water levels in the western U.S. due to the growing of plants that cattle eat. Jon and Greg are not buying that premise and suggest some more obvious reasons that water levels are down.
Finally, they dig into Jon’s latest column for Discourse magazine focusing on how unenthused voters are about a Biden-Trump rematch. Jon explains what that apathy might mean in 2024 and why it’s important to vote even if you don’t love your options at the top of the ticket.

Former Chief Assistant U.S. Attorney and National Review Contributing Editor Andy McCarthy is in for Jim and provides a wealth of historical and first-hand context to our three topics today.
First, Andy and Greg assess Special Counsel Robert Hur’s testimony surrounding the timeline confusion in Biden’s testimony over allegations that he mishandled classified information. Hur’s testimony puts the lie to Biden’s angry denunciation that he was asked when his son died. Instead, Biden volunteered it and got it wrong.
Andy also points out that Biden was found to be mishandling sensitive information for decades, including his time in the Senate. And he explains why Biden being in possession of classified info from his Senate days proves that Biden – and not his staff – is responsible for him having those documents. He also provides critical background information into another notorious example of a Democrat being caught red-handed illegally taking classified information.
Next, they shudder as FBI Director Christopher Wray confirms in Senate testimony that the bureau is actively investigating allegations that human smugglers with ties to ISIS are actively moving people at our southern border. Andy says this should come as no surprise and he shares the stunning immigration enforcement incompetence that allowed the terrorist mastermind of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing to enter the U.S. illegally – even after being directly linked to a high-profile assassination overseas.
Finally, they zero in on California Rep. Adam Schiff suggesting that Donald Trump should received “dumbed down” intelligence reports as the GOP presidential nominee because of the classified charges pending against him. Andy says this would not be the first time the intel community played favorites in a presidential election involving Trump, and he recalls why Schiff is the least credible advocate for this argument against the former president.

Join Jim and Greg as they break down a big day in politics from Super Tuesday to the balance in the U.S. Senate.
First, they acknowledge what we all expected – that Donald Trump and Joe Biden would virtually lock up their respective nominations on Tuesday – punctuated by Nikki Haley suspending her campaign Wednesday morning. But they do note that bewildering win by Democrat Jason Palmer in American Samoa & highlight the smugness of the MSNBC panel over Virginia Republicans naming immigration as their top concern. And Jim explains how he would restructure the primary season so that more voters in more states would have a say while the campaign is still competitive.
Then they break down the results of the jungle primary in California. They’re disgusted that Adam Schiff not only advanced to the general election but will be the heavy favorite. They also note former Dodgers and Padres star Steve Garvey taking the second spot behind Schiff. And hey are very pleased to see far left Reps. Katie Porter and Barbara Lee lose and be out of Congress entirely next year.
Finally, they dissect the impact of Arizona Independent Sen. Kyrsten Sinema announcing she will not run for re-election this year. While still disagreeing with Sinema on most issues, they see her six years as somewhat of a pleasant surprise for her willingness to defend the legislative filibuster in the Senate. But they also note that a far left Dem is now likely favored to win her seat.

It’s nothing but good martinis for Jim and Greg on Monday’s 3 Martini Lunch!
First, Jim declares vindication after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that Donald Trump must be allowed on the Colorado GOP primary ballot after that state’s supreme court kicked him off based on the insurrection clause of Section 3 in the 14th Amendment. Jim says without a conviction or even an indictment for insurrection, taking such action against Trump was a very weak legal position.
Next, they welcome the University of Florida eliminating DEI (“Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion”) programs and personnel. It’s not only the right move but it also showcases the leadership of Gov. Ron DeSantis getting this policy through the Florida legislature and University of Florida Pres. Ben Sasse for implementing it.
Finally, they cheer Oregon for correcting a 2020 referendum that decriminalized personal use amounts of drugs, including hard drugs like meth and heroin. Oregon subsequently fell to 50th in access to drug treatment and witnesses a spike in overdoses. Jim says this is another example of how reality did not turn out anything like the experts insisted it would.

Join Jim and Greg as they return to their usual good, bad, and crazy martinis and head into the weekend!
First, they welcome the decision from a New York appeals court that New York City’s efforts to allow 800,000 non-citizens to vote in local elections is unconstitutional. Limiting voting to citizens is a no-brainer but Jim fears this issue will eventually wind up at the U.S. Supreme Court.
Next, they react to the news that CBS not only laid off stellar reporter Catherine Herridge but seized her files, computers, and records, including information about confidential sources. Even SAG-AFTRA is denouncing CBS in very strong terms. Just how big of a threat is this to the freedom of the press?
Finally, they shake their heads as former Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill (who is now an MSNBC contributor) blasts the New York Times for fact-checking President Biden because she thinks they aren’t aggressive enough in calling out Donald Trump’s falsehoods. This feeds into the maddening view of some on the left who genuinely see the role the media as doing everything it can to help Biden and defeat Trump.

Undisputed King of Stuff, columnist, and longtime Ricochet Editor-in-Chief Jon Gabriel is in for Jim today.
Today, Jon and Greg react to Russian President Vladimir Putin saying he prefers President Biden over former President Trump, calling Biden “more experienced and more predictable.” Trump calls it a compliment while Biden supporters say Putin is trying some reverse psychology.
They also recoil as Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell tells National Review he doesn’t know how U.S. ammunition and ordnance will get replenished unless the Ukraine aid bill gets passed. Regardless of what anyone thinks of assistance for Ukraine, why in the world is our own national security dependent on this legislation?
Finally, Jon takes an extra shot of espresso as he flays the latest efforts to urge people to stay away from coffee. Last time, the fun police said coffee was harming the planet. Now they claim caffeine is dangerous to your health. Jon isn’t buying that for a second.
