Join Jim and Greg for a full course of crazy martinis. They start off shocked at Biden climate envoy John Kerry contending the climate change crisis is our generation's D-Day during a speech in Norway. Then they mull over the recent debt ceiling fight among House Republicans and the Freedom Caucus disrupting a bill that would protect gas stoves from the Biden administration'regulations. They conclude by discussing the longshot presidential bid by North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, and what it may me...

Join Jim and Greg for three full martinis and an appetizer. They begin by quickly mentioning that New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu will not run for president and will be spending a lot of time telling candidates to get out if they are not gaining traction. Then they applaud Sen. Tim Scott for going on "The View" and shredding the lefty ladies' contention that systemic racism is mostly responsible for holding back black achievement. They also shudder as New York City Mayor Eric Adams suggests plac...

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome a new survey showing American overwhelmingly opposed to phasing out gas-powered vehicles and fossil fuel-based energy, not to mention paying a lot more for their energy.

Finally, they react to the Tim Alberta's profile of embattled CNN CEO and Chairman Chris Licht and wh...

Join Jim and Greg as they're intrigued about possible GOP Senate campaigns from Rep. Mike Gallagher in Wisconsin and baseball great Steve Garvey in California. They also cast a wary eye on CNN and MSNBC drooling at the chance to host Republican presidential debates because they may get major fireworks between Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis. And given their constant anti-GOP content and their past performances in Republican debates, there's plenty of reason for skepticism. Finally, they roll their...

Join Jim and Greg as they cheer the likely Senate rejection of Biden’s student loan forgiveness scheme. They then recoil over how ill-prepared the U.S. and Great Britain are to counter China's aggressive non-military tactics for achieving its goals against the U.S. Finally, they're staggered as Hunter Biden is planning to fight any forthcoming charges for lying on a federal gun purchasing form by arguing the Second Amendment should allow drug users to own firearms.

Join Jim and Greg as they sort through the agreement between House Republicans and the Biden administration to avoid default. Jim explains why he sees the deal as about as good as the GOP could do with the limited leverage it has. And they address complaints from many conservatives that the plan allows too much baseline spending and didn't accomplish some major goals. They also react to the European Union's demands that Twitter abide by its "disinformation" policies or risk getting banned from E...

Join Jim and Greg as they close out the week with two good martinis and a very bad one. First, they remain very pleasantly surprised at how strong the House GOP messaging has been throughout the debt ceiling debate - to the point where even much of the mainstream media is admitting it. They also breathe a sigh of relief as Doug Mastriano decided not to run for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania after getting crushed in the governor's race last year. Finally, they shudder as Democratic Massachusetts Rep...

Join Jim and Greg as they walk through the good, bad, and crazy aspects of the presidential campaign launch of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis - from the glitchy start on Twitter Spaces to his strong articulation of a conservative vision for the nation to the obvious grifting of Trump critics who are aiming their venom primarily at DeSantis. They're also pleasantly surprised by a new Fox News poll showing more Americans would blame President Biden than congressional Republicans for defaulting on our d...
May 25, 2023•24 min
Join Jim and Greg as they are impressed at the ability of the House GOP to pass legislation with a slim majority - this time overturning an EPA rule on big truck emissions. They also discuss Joy Behar of "The View" accusing Tim Scott and Clarence Thomas of "not getting it" when it comes to being black in America. Finally, they react to Ron DeSantis breaking tradition and deciding to announce his presidential bid on Twitter. Please visit our great sponsors: 4Patriot https://4Patriots.com Use code...

Join Jim and Greg as they applaud the news that Apple is striking a major deal with Broadcom to make hi-tech chips here in the U.S. They also react to reports that Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin may be reconsidering a 2024 presidential bid and become a late entry in the GOP field after this year's elections. Finally, they cast a skeptical eye on reports that wearing hoodies and shorts is a clear sign that Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman is recovering well from his recent depression but they do we...

Join Jim and Greg as they offer up two good martinis and a crazy one. First, they welcome South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott into the 2024 GOP presidential race, highlighting his good policy ideas and his happy warrior approach to politics. They also cheer a new poll showing Americans overwhelmingly supporting work requirements for Medicaid and SNAP recipients. Finally, Jim lays out the strong case for why President Biden raising the debt ceiling without approval from Congress would be grossly uncons...
May 22, 2023•22 min
Join Jim and Greg as they break down three lousy martinis. First, they shake their heads as New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and state lawmakers order the closure of fossil fuel-based power plants in the state within seven years. That would take away nearly half of the state's energy supply and even state officials aren't sure how they will generate enough power to make up the difference. They also wince at the latest evidence that Sen. Dianne Feinstein is no longer able to serve as a senator, discuss...

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome Montana banning TikTok and setting up a fascinating legal fight that could impact the rest of the nation. They also groan at reports the U.S. Air Force caught an airman taking notes and studying classified information and just issued him warnings at least three times before he was caught posting the info for his gamer friends. Finally, they depart from their usual approach to the royal family by discussing Harry and Megan's allegations of a lengthy, life-threate...
May 18, 2023•23 min
Join Jim and Greg as they serve up two good martinis and an ominous one. First, they're glad to to see President Biden move away from no discussion of reforms in exchange for an increase in the debt ceiling and agree to budget negotiations over the coming days. They also applaud Republicans in the North Carolina legislature for staying unanimous to override Gov. Roy Cooper's veto of a 12-week abortion ban. Finally, they react to news that China aloowed artificial intelligence to control a satell...

Join Jim and Greg as they recount and analyze the key findings of Special Counsel John Durham, who has been investigating the FBI's premise for launching the investigation into alleged collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign during the 2016 elections. The conclusions are devastating to any remaining shreds of trust in our government: the collusion canard was created by the Hillary Clinton campaign and fed to the FBI, which launched a probe without a single piece of verifiable evidence. T...
May 16, 2023•27 min
Join Jim and Greg as they break down Joe Biden's Plan B for 2024. As Jim explains, Biden was not supposed to run again. He was supposed to serve one term and have Kamala Harris run this time, except she has been a massive disappointment as VP. They also cringe over the record-setting number of illegal crossings at our southern border last week - more than 83,000. They also note the rapidly growing number of "gotaways" and how the administration is trying to cook the books on the upcoming numbers...

Join Jim and Greg as they serve up two very bad martinis and a crazy but intriguing one. First, they fume as Title 42 ends and the Biden administration offers nothing but lies, gaslighting, and blame shifting to explain the tidal wave of people headed into our country illegally. They also hammer President Biden and the State Department for pulling back on consequences for China's spy balloon episode and and continuing to withhold consequences for the Chinese genocide against the Uighurs and meas...

Join Jim and Greg as they dissect the CNN town hall featuring Donald Trump, how Trump got everything he could want out of it, and CNN is now under heavy criticism for hw it played out. They also shudder while appreciating the honesty of a longtime Chicago prosecutor, who is resigning and leaving the state because "progressive reforms" have led to much more crime and violence and he refuses to raise his son there. And they fire back as the mainstream media either ignore the House Oversight Commit...
May 11, 2023•24 min
Join Jim and Greg as they react to the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability revealing Biden family influence peddling in multiple nations and a some 20 businesses created to provide layers between the foreign nationals and the Biden family. They also discuss the 13-count indictment against New York GOP Rep. George Santos and what comes next in his saga. Finally, as Title 42 expires tomorrow, they recoil at an NBC News report that the Biden administration is telling Customs & Borde...

Join Jim and Greg as they bring you two good martinis along with a crazy one that's also pretty good. First, they applaud the House GOP and National Republican Congressional Committee for being on offense during the debt ceiling fight and having more effective messaging on this issues than any time in recent memory. They also take note of the long list of legislative victories that Gov. Ron DeSantis and Florida lawmakers piled up this year, and how it will serve as a springboard into a DeSantis ...

Join Jim and Greg as they offer two good martinis and one that's so bad it might be considered crazy. First, they welcome the public's accurate, "brutal" assessment of Biden's job performance in a new ABC News/Washington Post poll. Not only is Biden looking at some of his lowest approval numbers, but a huge majority sees him as mentally unfit and his own party overwhelmingly does not want him to run again. They also shudder as the Biden administration warms up to the absurd notion that China can...

Join Jim and Greg as they wrap up the week. After Jim's choice comments on tomorrow's coronation of King Charles III, they welcome the news that the seven most vulnerable Senate seats in 2024 are all held by Democrats. They also unload on former Clinton campaign figure Brian Fallon for hyperventilating that Justice Clarence Thomas needs to be removed from the Supreme Court and that the entire conservative majority is illegitimate. And they give the real reason the left is so upset about the high...
May 05, 2023•24 min
Join Jim and Greg as they present two "good-ish" martinis and a crazy one. After a brief discussion on the declining quality of Star Wars shows and movies, they note how little lawmakers and President Biden plan to be in Washington this month. Jim suspects that schedule shows they are actually quite confident they'll be able to reach a debt ceiling deal. They also welcome the news that we may soon know whether Hunter Biden will face any federal charges for his obvious violations of gun and tax l...
May 04, 2023•22 min
Join Jim and Greg as they serve up two good martinis and a crazy one. First, they find some optimism in the ongoing debt ceiling fight as Republicans find a few Democratic allies on issues ranging from energy permitting to fighting Biden's student debt redistribution plan. Then they applaud the U.S. Supreme Court after all nine justice sign a letter rejecting Senate Democrats for demanding new recusal and ethics policies and strongly rejecting the notion of reduced funding for security for the j...
May 03, 2023•28 min
Join Jim and Greg as they serve up three good martinis, but you may need to squint a bit to see them. First, they welcome the admission from the green energy industry that it is thoroughly dependent upon cheap Chinese products to make solar panels and that renewed tariffs on China would hurt the industry badly. So reality smacks the green agenda in the face yet again. They also cheer the impending retirement of Maryland Democratic Sen. Ben Cardin after more than half a century of taxpayers footi...
May 02, 2023•21 min
Join Jim and Greg as they welcome decisions from the newly right-leaning North Carolina Supreme Court restoring Voter ID requirements in the state and restoring the congressional map that the former left-leaning court tossed out for political reasons. They also fume as an illegal immigrant kills five people and wounds others in Texas, especially after learning the killer was deported five times from 2009-2016. And they question why ABC News decided to profile Democratic presidential candidate Ro...

Join Jim and Greg as they serve up three good martinis to close out the week! First, they cheer CNN contributor Scott Jennings for calmly but firmly confronting American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten over her absurd lies that she was pushing harder than anyone to reopen schools in the midst of the pandemic when she was loudly persistent in keeping them closed. They also welcome the news that West Virginia GOP Gov. Jim Justice is running for U.S. Senate in 2024, giving Republi...

It's Chad Benson's last day sitting in for Greg, and he and Jim are pleasantly surprised that the House GOP held together on a debt ceiling bill, and there are some rumblings that Kevin McCarthy might be better at being speaker than anybody expected. Today also brings a pretty lousy U.S. GDP number, raising questions of just how the U.S. economy is performing. Finally, while it's not unusual for former government officials to make a bundle in the private sector, it's less than idea to see tetire...
