After a brief mention of today’s impeachment hearings, Jim and Greg launch into Wednesday’s real martinis. First, they take deep satisfaction in watching the end of the Kamala Harris presidential campaign and chronicle the many things that went wrong for her. They also slam Pete Buttigieg for saying that anyone who supports President Trump is “looking the other way on racism, at best.” And they note that after three years of liberals cheering on sanctuary cities and counties over immigration policy, they suddenly have the vapors as conservative counties in Virginia adopt sanctuary policies against upcoming gun control legislation from the incoming Democratic majorities.
Fact vs. Fiction on Trump & Ukraine
Listen to “Fact vs. Fiction on Trump & Ukraine” on Spreaker.
On Tuesday, Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee released their impeachment report, arguing that President Trump deliberately and repeatedly abused the power of his office for his personal political benefit through his demands towards Ukraine.
But while Chairman Adam Schiff and his allies believe the evidence of impeachable offenses is overwhelming, former federal prosecutor Andrew C. McCarthy sees things much differently.
Author of “Ball of Collusion: The Plot to Rig An Election and Destroy a Presidency,” McCarthy explains why he is underwhelmed by the impeachment report.
Democrats argue that the facts everyone agrees on – such as the details of the Trump-Zelensky phone call – ought to be enough to warrant Trump’s removal from office. McCarthy explains why he disagrees with that too.
And as the rhetoric flies about why Ukraine did and did not do during the 2016 campaign, McCarthy separates which allegations about Ukrainian interference are absurd and what actually happened based on the best evidence available.
Trump Backs Iran Protesters, GOP’s Georgia Senate Spat, Bloomberg’s Bounce
Listen to “Trump Backs Iran Protesters, GOP’s Georgia Senate Spat, Bloomberg’s Bounce” on Spreaker.
Recording of Tuesday’s Three Martini Lunch concluded before the news of Kamala Harris abandoning her presidential campaign. Rest assured we will have plenty to say about that on Wednesday. In the meantime, grab a stool and join Jim and Greg as serve up Tuesday’s martinis. First, they’re grateful to see President Trump siding with the Iranian protesters despite earlier indications to the contrary. They also facepalm as Trump allies attack Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp for not following Trump’s advice on a U.S. Senate appointment and Kemp proceeds to pick someone who makes the pro-life community very nervous. And they notice that Michael Bloomberg’s spending barrage already has him in fifth place among voters in the first four primary and caucus states.
Freitas Runs for Congress
Listen to “Freitas Runs for Congress” on Spreaker.
Fresh off re-election to his state legislative office Republican Virginia Del. Nick Freitas is launching a congressional campaign in the commonwealth’s seventh district.
Freitas is a U.S. Army veteran, a Green Beret who served two tours in Iraq. He was first elected to the Virginia House of Delegates in 2015 and about to begin his third term there after winning re-election as a write-in candidate. In 2018, Freitas sought the GOP nomination for U.S. Senate but narrowly lost in the primary.
The seventh district is currently represented by Democrat Abigail Spanberger, who won a tight race against incumbent GOP Rep. Dave Brat in 2018. Freitas says Spanberger ran as a moderate but votes with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi nearly 90 percent of the time. He also slammed Spanberger for enthusiastically supporting the effort to impeach President Trump.
Freitas says the district is far more conservative than Spanberger and it’s time for more accurate representation. He believes there is a fundamental difference in how Republicans and Democrats approach their jobs and he’s betting the voters will be much more comfortable with his philosophy.
“Whenever I hear about Democrats solving common-sense problems, it seems like their starting point is always how do we empower the government to do more,” said Freitas.
“When I look around at how we solve problems in the private sector, what I see is efficient solutions that people like, that they have a choice to engage in the marketplace with, and they’re inherently peaceful,” he added.
Listen to the full podcast to hear what Freitas thinks of President Trump, how he will deal with a Virginia that is increasingly tilting towards the Democrats and just how far left the Virginia legislature is planning to go when Democrats take full control in January.

What We’re Politically Thankful For

As America pauses for Thanksgiving Day this week, join Jim and Greg as they each list three things for which they are politically thankful. They both start out discussing encouraging signs in the judicial world. Then Jim explains which Democratic presidential candidates he’s thankful for and which figure he’s thankful for doing just about everything the wrong way.

‘In Our Weakness, God Is Strong’
Listen to “‘In Our Weakness, God Is Strong'” on Spreaker.
Carmen Pate has been very active in ministry and in pro-life activism for many years. As you can hear in the podcast, she is a woman of passion and energy.
But in 2014, Carmen was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and, even after a bone marrow transplant, the cancer has relapsed multiple times.
But even as she battles for her life yet again, Carmen’s faith is an inspiration to many as she travels the halls of her Houston cancer ward encouraging and evangelizing other patients, their families, and the medical staff.
Following a 2018 relapse, Carmen turned her Facebook journal of her cancer fight and trust in God into a book entitled “In Our Weakness, God is Strong.”
In this uplifting podcast, Carmen tells Greg Corombos how her faith prepared her for this grueling health challenge, how she encourages others to prepare before a crisis hits them, and why she feels called to share her faith with those she meets.
Why Rep. Yoho Won’t Support USMCA
Listen to “Why Rep. Yoho Won’t Support USMCA” on Spreaker.
House Republicans are hammering Speaker Nancy Pelosi for putting legislative business on hold while the impeachment process plays out. At the top of their grievance list is the inaction on the USMCA, the trade agreement among the U.S., Canada, and Mexico designed to replace NAFTA.
Florida Rep. Ted Yoho tells Greg Corombos how impeachment is gumming up the legislative works but he also details why he cannot support USMCA in it’s current form…and why he doesn’t think it has the votes to pass at all.

Listen to “House Dem Opposes Impeachment, Obama Dings Biden, Ivy League Idiocy” on Spreaker.
One good and two crazy martinis await today. Jim and Greg react to House Democrat Brenda Lawrence backing away from impeachment and now saying censuring President Trump would be more appropriate in an election year. They also try to figure out what Barack Obama’s 2020 approach is as he not only doesn’t endorse Joe Biden but in private is apparently slamming Biden’s inability to connect with voters. And they roll their eyes as Harvard and Yale students disrupt the annual football game between the two schools to protest both schools for investing in fossil fuels.
