Jim and Greg shake off the surprise of of an underwhelming midterm election for Republicans to dissect why Democrats were able to win so many races that the GOP seemed to have a good shot at. They chronicle the key races that got away, cheer the big wins in places like Florida and Texas, and note that the Republicans still have a good chance at winning the House and have a path left to claiming the majority in the Senate. And they try to determine what the GOP need to do differently or better in...

Join Jim and Greg as they sit back and wait for election results tonight. First, they notice usually friendly media getting tougher on President Biden and suggesting another run in 2024 might not be a good idea. They also fume that voting in Maricopa County, Arizona, is suffering from malfunctioning tabulation machines and they find it completely unacceptable that it takes more than a couple days to count mail-in ballots regardless of how many there are. Finally, they groan as some Republicans s...

Chad Benson is in for Greg again, and he and Jim discuss the GOP enjoying advantages in the early voting numbers in Nevada and Florida, the question of just when the highly-contested key Senate races will be resolved, and a thoroughly unconvincing spin that if Republicans win 20 to 25 seats in the House, that counts as a win for President Biden.

Then the turn to the martinis as they welcome polling evidence that even more House races are tilting towards the Republicans and nearly all generic polls show a GOP edge...but you still need to vote!

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome more polling indicators of a good midterm election night for Republicans - including dismal numbers on the state of the nation and a huge shift towards the GOP among suburban women in just the past couple of months. They also applaud New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu for calling out "Meet the Press" moderator Chuck Todd for living in a bubble after Todd was incredulous that election denial was not the top concern for voters this year. And they tee off on the sugge...

Join Jim and Greg as they serve up two bad martinis and a crazy one with a good aftertaste. First, they break down the latest warnings from Mansfield Energy that several states are already impacted by the diesel shortage on our country , some may have to go without fuel for short stretches, and prices will be going up. They also continue to wish Paul Pelosi a speedy recovery but slam President Biden for trying to turn the violent actions of a drug-addled nudist into an indictment of the Republic...

Join Jim and Greg as they pop the popcorn and enjoy the left melting down on Twitter over the news that Elon Musk is officially running Twitter now. They also call out President Biden for the bald-faced lie that gas prices were above five dollars per gallon when he took office. And they give credit to the Washington Post for saying James Bennet was right in his standoff with the editorial department mob at the New York Times over an op-ed by Sen. Tom Cotton back in 2020.

Join Jim and Greg as they process polling numbers in the Arizona governor's race and wonder whether Democrats made bad decisions about debating in two key states. They're also horrified as the Air Force admits its personnel records about a Republican congressional candidate and her sexual assault in Iraq were leaked to a Democratic opposition research firm and got published in Politico. And Jim has zero confidence that anyone will face consequences for such a heinous act. Finally, after years of...

Join Jim and Greg as they discuss John Fetterman's painful performance in the Pennsylvania U.S. Senate debate and how Fetterman's wife and state Democrats failed to protect a man who clearly needs much more time to recover. They also cheer Lee Zeldin for eviscerating New York Gov. Kathy Hochul on crime, the economy, freedom, and the nursing home scandal which still demands accountability. Finally, they applaud the New York Supreme Court for striking down New York City's policy of firing city emp...

What’s the connection among China, the Mexican cartels, the opioid crisis and your backyard? What if I told you it all starts at the southern border?

You’ve heard about the crisis at the southern border... but never like this. Welcome to the Dark Wars. Dark Wars: The Border is a new podcast series, hosted by...

Join Jim and Greg as they serve up two good martinis and a crazy one. First, they cheer the Institute for Energy Research for blasting Biden for undermining American energy independence and for playing politics with the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. They also applaud Politico for honestly reporting on how Stacey Abrams' Fair Fight Action group spent many millions on legal action in Georgia that went nowhere but made her campaign chairwoman very rich. And they sigh as Hillary Clinton claims Republ...

Greg is back! Join Jim and Greg as they welcome news that the Michigan governor's race is a dead heat and one of the worst governors in the country could be in big trouble. They also cringe as national math and reading testing shows horrific numbers that are clearly a result of schools being closed - many of them much longer than necessary. And they react to reports that Russia's defense minister was discussing the threat of a Ukrainian "dirty bomb" that most in the west see as nothing more than...

As Chad Benson's week of sitting in for Greg comes to a close, everything is coming up roses for the Republicans in the midterms - the GOP gubernatorial candidates are enjoying a well-timed late surge of momentum, a slew of Senate seats that once seemed out of reach are now in play, and not only are Democratic candidates avoiding Joe Biden, they're keeping their distance from Kamala Harris and the Clintons.

Chad Benson is in for Greg Corombos today, and he joins Jim to discuss new poll numbers from the New York Times that have Democrats fearing that the “red wave” might be even worse than they feared. The bad news is Kanye West is getting even nuttier and more overtly anti-Semitic, and the guys hope someone stages an intervention to save Kanye from himself. Meanwhile, the delusional President Biden stuffs his face with ice cream and insists, “the economy is as strong as hell.” Please visit our grea...

Join Jim and Greg as they eagerly welcome news that national Democrats are "retrenching" their financial strategy for keeping the House of Representatives, which is the fancy way of saying they are pulling money from races they no longer think they can win. On top of that, a major pollster says there is no doubt that Republican candidates are looking stronger and stronger over the past few weeks. They also discuss the bizarre decision by Arizona Democrat Katie Hobbs to refuse any debates with Re...

Join Jim and Greg as they applaud the direct and devastating attack from GOP New Mexico gubernatorial candidate Mark Ronchetti, as he blasted Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham for grabbing the crotch of a male staffer, claiming she did nothing wrong, but also paying the staffer $150,000 to settle the complaint while forbidding the staffer from discussing the matter publicly. Ronchetti was also very effective at calling out the governor for imposing lockdowns she violated on numerous occasions. They al...

Finally, they discuss former Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard officially leaving the Democrats and urg...

Three crazy martinis today as Rob Long fills in for Jim Geraghty. After Rob explains why he loves holidays in New York City, he and Greg discuss Pay Pal's insane plan to secretly fine customer's $2500 for social media posts it deems "disinformation" or "hate," which nowadays means any statement the left doesn't like. Rob shreds Pay Pal's absurd statement in response to the controversy and explains how this may lead to action in Congress. They also highlight the rampant crime in New York City, an...

Join Jim and Greg as they cheer Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin for a very sensible plan to champion gas and nuclear power as a way to keep energy abundant and affordable. They also shudder as President Biden starts blabbing about how Russia has us closer to "Armageddon" than any time since the Cuban Missile Crisis. And they highlight just how partisan and petty CNN's former leadership was in suspending conservative commentator Mary Katherine Ham for a very flimsy reason and never even telling her.

Join Jim and Greg as they cheer House Republicans for planning to shine a bright spotlight on China's many atrocities at home and abroad - from pushing fentanyl into the U.S. to supply chain vulnerability to the persecution of the Uighurs. They also discuss the unique polling approach of the Trafalgar surveys and what it will mean if Republican voters are even more reticent to say who they support but are more determined than ever to vote. And they sigh as Twitter promises ramped-up "fact-checki...

Jim is back! Join Jim and Greg as they welcome the Axios assessment that Republicans seem to have momentum in the battle for the U.S. Senate thanks to shifts in a couple key races. They're also concerned as the U.S. Army reports it fell 15,000 soldiers short of it's recruiting goal in Fiscal Year 2022. That's 25 percent below the target and the other branches posted disappointing numbers too. And they shudder as more and more signs point to gas prices rising again soon, including OPEC threatenin...
