Join Jim and Greg as they serve up three crazy martinis today! First, they dig into the curious case of the GOP congressman-elect who calls himself George Santos, after the New York Times discovered that multiple parts of his personal story appear to be fabricated. And all Santos can offer in reply is the pathetic claim that it's all a political attack. They also shudder as the Taliban bans women from attending university in Afghanistan and all the U.S. can say in response is that this might dam...

Join Jim and Greg as they discuss only good things today! First, Jim describes his wide-ranging interview with Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin about his plans for the coming year, what issues matter most, and whether he's thinking about running for president.

Finally, they dive into why "Die Hard" is obviously a Christmas movie and share other thoughts ...

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome a get-tough approach on China. They applaud Wisconsin Rep. Mike Gallagher warning Americans to get rid of the TikTok app because it's basically a data harvesting tool of the Chinese Communist Party. They also groan as twice as many Americans described the economy in negative terms, 65 percent said the economy is headed in the wrong direction, and more than half expect it to get worse in 2023. Finally, they slam ABC's Martha Raddatz for accusing Republicans of cr...

Ricochet.com Editor-in-Chief Jon Gabriel is in for Jim. Today, Jon and Greg shake their heads as President Trump's big announcement turns into a promotion for digital trading cards of himself. They also cringe as the Biden administration prepares to make the border crisis far worse by lifting Title 42 and ending the "Remain in Mexico" policy. Finally, they roll their eyes at research suggesting people who didn't get the COVID shot are more dangerous drivers - meaning vaccination status could imp...

Ricochet.com Editor-in-Chief Jon Gabriel is in for Jim. Join Jon and Greg as they fume over yet another Senate Republican surrender on spending - choosing to support a bill to fund the government through September instead of a short-term bill that would give the incoming GOP House majority much more leverage on how our tax dollars are spent. They also roll their eyes as the Cambridge Dictionary redefines "man" and "woman" to accommodate the transgender agenda. Finally, they react to indicted FTX...

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome the news that FTX Founder Sam Bankman-Fried is facing a truckload of fraud charges and luggage thief Sam Brinton is out at the Department of Energy.

Kyrsten Sinema leaving the Democratic Party and becoming an independent - both on the functioning of the Senate and the 2024 Senate race in Arizona.

And they discuss the bizarre case of the Biden administration's non-binary nuclear waste expert being charged with another felony after a s...

Join Jim and Greg as they breathe a tentative sigh of relief at news that the Senate now seems unlikely to pass a bipartisan immigration bill that seems heavy on amnesty and light on border security. While they are pleased to see Brittney Griner coming home after spending most of the year in a Russian jail, Jim outlines three reasons why exchanging her for Viktor Bout - a convicted arms dealer to terrorists - is "infuriating." Perhaps worst is the message it sends to Russia and bad actors all ov...

Join Jim and Greg as they react to the news that former FBI General Counsel Jim Baker was trying to prevent reporters Matt Taibbi and Bari Weiss from seeing certain documents related to Twitter's spiking of the Hunter Biden laptop story in 2020.

Jim and Greg welcome the 14-year prison sentence handed down to former attorney and cable news darling Michael Avenatti for his crimes of corruption and they warn supporters of both parties not to fall in love with celebrities who happen to say a couple of things you agree with. They also slam Senate Republicans for being way too helpful in passing the Democrats' lame duck agenda. That strategy apparently includes passing an omnibus spending bill instead of a short-term bill that would give the ...

Join Jim and Greg as they break down the very significant revelations about how Twitter suppressed the New York Post story about Hunter Biden's laptop in October 2020. They also unload on President Trump for demanding to be installed immediately as president or for a new election through "the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution." And they rip on the Democrats too as incoming House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries repeatedly called into quest...

Join Jim and Greg as they serve up three crazy martinis today. First, they roll their eyes as the Never Trump crowd who turned our to be never conservative feverishly insists other Republicans like Ron DeSantis must be opposed just as vigorously. Jim also walks through Sam Bankman-Fried's thoroughly unbelievable explanation for the collapse of FTX. And they have no idea why Cochise County, Arizona, is refusing to submit election results when there is no controversy over the voting in that county...

And they discuss whether Kevin McCarthy will have the 218 votes needed to become spe...

Join Jim and Greg as they dissect the reversal of the Biden retirement narrative and now Democrats seem to be unifying behind an unpopular president in decline. It might be the GOP's best chance to win, but it's no guarantee. They also shake their heads as the Biden administration offers no response to the protests in China and Canada's Justin Trudeau finds protests designed to change public policy to be "worrisome." And they wade into the battle to lead the Republican National Committee, assess...

After a brief discussion of the Jets decisive victory over the Bears, Jim and Greg cheer on the brave protesters in China who are fed up with the CCP's suffocating COVID policies and demanding other freedoms in the face of a repressive regime. They also wince as an Iranian paramilitary group violently confronts protesters and even blinds many of them.

Jim and Greg will be back with brand new podcasts on Thursday and Friday. As they both go on vacation today, let's look back at their analysis of the midterm elections from two weeks ago.

Join Jim and Greg as they are stunned by the Iranian World Cup team refusing to sing their national anthem and the captain directly stating that the players support the protesters back home.

And they have plenty to say about how Democrats plan to help Donald Trump become the GOP nominee in 2024 because they think he will be easier to beat th...

Join Jim and Greg as they once again cheer the impending GOP control of the House and today's news that Nancy Pelosi will step down as House Democratic leader after 20 years. They also welcome the coming House GOP investigation of the Hunter Biden laptop and several related issues of possible corruption but they believe the first major press conference of the incoming majority should have been to lay out an agenda to lower our food and energy costs. And they wince as California Sen. Dianne Feins...

Ricochet.com Editor-in-Chief Jon Gabriel is in for Jim.

Jon explains how conservatives should interpret this delay, why this process breeds distrust in the system, and why the solutions are obvious. They also react to President Trump slamming Ron DeSantis and Glenn Youngkin as his attention shifts to the 2024 campaign. However, they also notice that the...

Scot Bertram, general manager of 101.7 FM Radio Free Hillsdale, is in for Jim today.
