Join Jim and Greg as they welcome some university officials and businesses going public to rebuke the abhorrent support for Hamas voiced on many college campuses. They also recoil as a 23-count indictment comes down against serial fraudster and New York GOP Rep. George Santos.

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome former Texas Rep. Will Hurd's realization that he has no chance at the GOP presidential nomination and is dropping out.

Finally, they scratch their heads as the W...

Jim and Greg devote today's podcast to three critical aspects of the horrific terrorist attacks perpetrated in Israel by Hamas over the weekend the worst mass murder of Jews since World War II. First, they chronicle the unconscionable acts of terrorism, torture, rape, and abduction by Hamas - and how the only proper description of the actions is pure evil. Then they walk through the Biden's administration's refusal to confirm Iran was intimately involved in the planning of the attacks even after...

Chad and Jim close out the week by celebrating that Iowa Democrats have accepted the terms of surrender, and the Democratic Caucus will move back to Super Tuesday. Meanwhile, that border fencing from the Biden team is much less than it meets the eye - this is just an attempt to avoid legal and political headaches of not spending money that they're legally required to spend. And In the aftermath of this week's test of the National Emergency Alert System, the guys chew over the fact that the Natio...

Jim and Chad cheer the news that Russia apparently no longer thinks its ships are safe at its main naval base in Sevastopol, Crimea, and is transferring them to other bases. They fume that Montana GOP congressman Matt Rosendale, one of the Gaetz Eight, boasted that he prayed for a small GOP victory in the 2022 midterms to maximize his leverage, and they marvel that Covid vaccination cards - once touted as the all-important passport to freedom from far-reaching restrictions - are being retired by...

Greg is still off on vacation, leaving Chad and Jim to break down the consequences of the House voting to remove Kevin McCarthy as speaker. Meanwhile, a new poll from Gallup shows Americans hungering for a third major party on the political landscape, and the lack of a Speaker of the House means that, at least for a little while, Washington Democratic senator Patty Murray would be president if, God forbid, something bad happened to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Let's all hope the White House staf...

GOOD: New from Gallup: Although both parties are about equally disliked, the public chooses the Republican Party over the Democratic Party by healthy margins when asked which will better safeguard the nation’s prosperity and security. Fifty-three percent of Americans believe the Republican Party will do a better job of keeping the country prosperous over the next few years, whereas 39% choose the Democratic Party. A slightly larger majority, 57%, have greater faith in the Republican Party to pro...

As Greg heads off on vacation, he and Jim break down the current state of the 2024 presidential campaign for Republicans and Democrats. Does Trump have a stranglehold on the GOP nomination despite big negatives with the general electorate and four major legal fights looming next year? And do his leads in some polls against President Biden undercut the DeSantis argument that he is the better bet next year? They also dissect where the Democrats stand. Biden has a massive lead among Democrats but h...

Join Jim and Greg as they react to the news of California Sen. Dianne Feinstein dying at the age of 90 after years of health issues.

Finally, they reflect on her decision to stay in office as her health problems mounted but also remember one moment that gave conservatives a smile. In other news, Jim and Greg consider the looming gover...

Katie Britt for calling out the media for their lack of interest in the horrific reality faced by countless women and children as they illegally come to America. From repeated rapes to drownings to staying indebted to the cartels after arriving, Sen. Britt ...

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome a stunningly good poll from NBC News showing American voters trusting Republicans far more than Democrats to do a good job on the economy - the biggest edge for the GOP on this issue in 32 years. And Jim breaks down why Americans are very sour on the economy despite the Biden administration insisting that it's great. They also shudder at a Semafor report showing that Iran infiltrated the Obama and Biden administrations as well as the media to push for softer rel...

Join Jim and Greg as they cheer Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson switching to the Republican Party saying the GOP has a much better approach on crime and fiscal discipline. And Jim wonders whether Johnson has larger political ambitions. They also recoil at a Real Clear Politics survey showing a sharp divide between the parties on free speech, with Democrats far more likely to favor government or social media companies cracking down on "hate speech" or speech that possibly threatens national security. F...

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.

Kathy Hochul acknowledging that cities and states cannot just accept an unlimited number of illegal immigrants - the same position Republicans were savaged for just a few years ago. They also wince as Republicans lose two very winnable seats in key state legislative races, but they hope other Republicans around the nation learn some important lessons from these defeats. Finally, they're stunned and more than a bit amused by the news ...

Join Jim and Greg as they consider the unintended consequences of Hunter Biden's suit against the IRS, alleging the whistleblowers on his case violated his privacy. He seems to be grasping for straws but could he actually end up strengthening protections for the rest of us against the IRS? They're also disgusted as Iran follows up last week's embarrassing Biden administration concessions by kicking a bunch of United Nations weapons inspectors out of the country and Saudi Arabia tells the U.S. is...

Michelle Lujan-Grisham's unconstitutional "health emergency" that forbids carrying guns in public for 30 days.

Join Jim and Greg for three more powerful martinis today. After chronicling Jim's emotional roller coaster of watching his Jets lose Aaron Rodgers within four snaps and still find a way to win the game, they cheer Bernalillo County New Mexico Sheriff John Allen for calmly explaining that he will not follow Gov. Lujan-Grisham's emergency order removing open and concealed carry rights because it is unconstitutional, does not help public safety, and only impacts law-abiding people. They also groan ...

They also react to Special Counsel David Weiss announcing that there will likely be an indictment against Hunter Biden on a gun charge by the end of the month, but they also no...

Join Jim and Greg as they credit Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for making sanctuary cities and states understand a fraction of the stress that a flood of illegal immigration creates on our nation. But are the right lessons being learned? They also keep an eye on reports that Vladimir Putin and North Korean Dictator Kim Jong-Un may soon meet, allegedly as part of Putin's effort to use North Korean weapons against Ukraine. Finally, they cast a dubious eye as the left ramps u...

Join Jim and Greg as they cautiously welcome news of Ukrainian progress against Russians at a key spot along the war front. They also groan as the number of families with children apprehended at the border surged in August - yet another sign that the Biden administration's policies are nothing but a giant magnet for people to come to the U.S. illegally. Finally, they unload on California for thoroughly implausible new regulations banning diesel-powered big rigs travelling between ports starting ...
