Mayorkas Impeached, Dems Gain House Seat, $50 Minimum Wage?

Join Jim and Greg as they tackle two big stories involving the House of Representatives and an absurd idea from a California U.S. Senate candidate that would plunge us into economic disaster.First, they're pleased to see the Republicans muster just enough votes to impeach Homeland Security Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas. It would have been much better to get this done right the first time and Mayorkas will undoubtedly be acquitted in the Senate, but the impeachment is richly deserved and it gives Republicans a chance to highlight the Biden border chaos during an impeachment trial.Then they sigh as the Democrats comfortably pick up another House seat as former Rep. Tom Suozzi wins the seat vacated by the expulsion of Republican Rep. George Santos. Donald Trump says the GOP candidate didn't embrace him enough. Other critics suggest the party is too closely identified with Trump and dysfunction in Washington. So what does this tell us might be coming in in November?Finally, they shake their heads as California Rep. Barbara Lee calls for a $50 per hour minimum wage in the latest California U.S. Senate debate and explain why her plan would create an economic catastrophe.Please visit our great sponsors:BIOptimizershttps://bioptimizers.com/martinifreeGet your Free 14-day supply of Magnesium Breakthrough today!4Patriothttps://4Patriots.com/martiniStay connected with the Patriot Power Solar Generator 2000X on sale now.New episodes every weekday. 👉 Subscribe to the show so you never miss a moment.Follow us for more daily clips, updates, and commentary:FacebookInstagramYoutubeOther InfoWebsite

Three Martinis with Dana Perino

Today, Jim and Greg once again take the rare step of bringing a special guest to the 3 Martini Lunch. Today, they welcome in former White House Press Secretary Dana Perino, who is now co-host of "The Five" and "America's Newsroom" on the Fox News Channel. She was also a moderator for one of the Republican presidential primary debates.They begin with a discussion of the White House press office, how Perino approached the job during the final years of the George W. Bush administration, how Karine Jean-Pierre is handling the duties, and where the blame properly lies for the communications problems within the Biden White House.Next, they turn to the 2024 presidential campaign and why Perino believes the report from Special Counsel Robert Hur amounts to the "death knell" for the Biden re-election campaign. They also examine how to maintain viewer interest when the major party primaries are very one-sided, and her thoughts after seeing the results of the Nevada GOP primary.Finally, they reflect upon Perino's opportunity to co-moderate one of the Republican primary presidential debates, what it was like to be in the middle of the fray, and why she believes the current format of debates no longer serve the public well.Please visit our great sponsors:BIOptimizershttps://bioptimizers.com/martinifreeGet your Free 14-day supply of Magnesium Breakthrough today!4Patriothttps://4Patriots.com/martiniStay connected with the Patriot Power Solar Generator 2000X on sale now.New episodes every weekday. 👉 Subscribe to the show so you never miss a moment.Follow us for more daily clips, updates, and commentary:FacebookInstagramYoutubeOther InfoWebsite

Scandal-Free Super Bowl, Rep. Gallagher Calls It Quits, Biden's Bogus 'Shrinkflation' Argument

Join Jim and Greg as they share some thoughts on the Super Bowl and dive into two big political stories.First, they have generally positive reviews of the Super Bowl, other than the fact that the game seemed to last forever. They were pleased there was no officiating controversy that played a huge role in deciding the game like there was last year and we didn't seem to be inundated with too much woke indoctrination in the ads.Then, they wince as Wisconsin Rep. Mike Gallagher surprisingly announces he will retire from Congress at the end of this year. While clearly disagreeing with Gallagher's decision to vote against impeaching Homeland Security Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas, they point out Gallagher is usually a very reliable conservative vote and he is doing good work exposing the threat that the Chinese Communist Party poses to the United States.Finally, they hammer President Biden's low-energy, mumbling nonsense about how he is fed up with "shrinkflation" and companies charging the same amount for less product. Not only does Biden pretend this isn't directly related to his inflationary policies but Jim points out that this exposes his own false narrative about the supposed success of "Bidenomics."Please visit our great sponsors:BIOptimizershttps://bioptimizers.com/martinifreeGet your Free 14-day supply of Magnesium Breakthrough today!4Patriothttps://4Patriots.com/martiniStay connected with the Patriot Power Solar Generator 2000X on sale now.New episodes every weekday. 👉 Subscribe to the show so you never miss a moment.Follow us for more daily clips, updates, and commentary:FacebookInstagramYoutubeOther InfoWebsite

Joe Biden's Damage Control Disaster

Join Jim and Greg as they break down many aspects of what may be one of the most damaging days to Joe Biden's presidency.First, they begin with the news that Special Counsel Robert Hur is recommending no charges against Biden despite his conclusion that Biden "willfully retained and disclosed classified material.” But Biden's day got much worse very fast when Hur said one of the reasons there would be no charges is because a jury would likely see Biden as "a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory," who could not remember when exactly he was vice president or when his son, Beau, died. That left the Biden team crowing about the absence of charges but denouncing one the of the key arguments about why there should be no charges.Then they break down the disastrous Biden press conference, in which he denied disclosing any classified material, blamed any improper storage of classified documents on his staff, and then wrongly said Abdel Fattah El-Sisi was president of Mexico instead of Egypt.Finally, they shake their heads at assertions that the reporters at the press conference were behaving in an "awful" and "revolting" manner and wonder what Biden's communications team was thinking setting up this press conference in the first place.Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.com/martiniStay connected with the Patriot Power Solar Generator 2000X on sale now.New episodes every weekday. 👉 Subscribe to the show so you never miss a moment.Follow us for more daily clips, updates, and commentary:FacebookInstagramYoutubeOther InfoWebsite

Dems vs. Biden on Natural Gas, Sen. Murphy's Stunning Admission, Biden's Chats with Dead People

Join Jim and Greg for three very revealing martinis today. First, they welcome Democrats from Pennsylvania and Ohio begging President Biden to reconsider his pause on liquefied natural gas exports to some countries because it's bad for their states' economies - not to mention an obvious effort to pander to environmental activists.Then they're stunned to see Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy admit on national television that "undocumented Americans" are the "people we care about most" in the immigration debate. But as as absurd as that thinking is, Jim thinks Murphy just handed Republicans a huge gift for this election cycle.Finally, they chronicle how President Biden's verbal stumbles, lapses in memory, and overall mental decline are now obvious multiple times per day. The latest examples include forgetting the name of Hamas and repeated telling a story from 2021 and referencing leaders from France and Germany who not only haven't held office this century but have been dead for years.Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.com/martiniStay connected with the Patriot Power Solar Generator 2000X on sale now.New episodes every weekday. 👉 Subscribe to the show so you never miss a moment.Follow us for more daily clips, updates, and commentary:FacebookInstagramYoutubeOther InfoWebsite

Ronna Resigning from RNC, House GOP Humiliation, Trump Wants Bud Light Truce

Join Jim and Greg as they document the potential good news and definitely bad and crazy news for the Republican Party.First, they react to the news that Republican National Committee Chair Ronna Romney McDaniel will reportedly resign following the GOP South Carolina primary later this month. They chronicle her very unimpressive record on elections, fundraising, and leadership, and how tough the job will be for whoever follows her.Then, they grimace as House Republicans fail to pass two very high-profile pieces of legislation on Tuesday, namely the impeachment of Homeland Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and military aid for Israel. It is a very slim majority for the GOP, but knowing whether you have the votes to pass things is should be obvious.Finally, they're unimpressed as Donald Trump suddenly says it's time to let bygones be bygones with Bud Light after the Dylan Mulvaney fiasco from last year, because he thinks Anheuser-Busch is a good company. But there seem to be other reasons for this sudden declaration.Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.com/martiniStay connected with the Patriot Power Solar Generator 2000X on sale now.New episodes every weekday. 👉 Subscribe to the show so you never miss a moment.Follow us for more daily clips, updates, and commentary:FacebookInstagramYoutubeOther InfoWebsite

Dartmouth Reconsiders the SAT, Iran Not Fazed by U.S. Response, Left's Laughable Border Talk

Join Jim and Greg as they dive into three big martinis today!First, they welcome Dartmouth's decision to once again use the SAT as a factor in admissions. Not only is it one of several valuable tools when considering an application, but Jim's reporting also shows that efforts to get rid of the SAT actually hurt minority applicants.Next, they groan as the U.S. military response of warning Iran when and where our airstrikes would happen obviously did nothing to correct Iran's antagonistic behavior - as evidenced by another attack that killed six people working alongside the U.S.Finally, they get a good laugh from Democrats pretending they care about having a secure border and trying to position themselves as the hawks and Republicans as obstructionists if the GOP opposes one particular bill. The latest example is MSNBC's Al Sharpton suddenly calling the illegal immigration crisis an "invasion."

Biden Trounced on Key Issues, Horrible Border Bill, Dem Voters Ignore Alternatives

Join Jim and Greg as they dissect horrible polling numbers for President Biden, an easy win for him in the South Carolina primary, and the absolute non-starter of a border security bill.First, they dig through an NBC poll showing Biden not only trailing Donald Trump but getting trounced by large margins on issues ranging from border security to the economy to crime to America's standing in the world. And the approval numbers for Vice President Kamala Harris are even worse than Biden's.They also shudder as the early warnings about the contents of a border security bill are proven accurate - from allowing nearly 5,000 illegal entries per day in perpetuity to liberally issued work permits for those waiting to have their alleged asylum claims ruled upon.Finally, polling regularly shows that Democrats are leery about having President Biden as their nominee again in 2024 but you'd never know it by how easily he crushed his low-profile rivals in Saturday's South Carolina primary. Turnout may have been exceedingly low, but it's obvious that neither of his challengers provide much appeal for the base.Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.com/martiniStay connected with the Patriot Power Solar Generator 2000X on sale now.New episodes every weekday. 👉 Subscribe to the show so you never miss a moment.Follow us for more daily clips, updates, and commentary:FacebookInstagramYoutubeOther InfoWebsite

Strong January Jobs Report, Racism vs. Reality Over Walgreen's, RNC's Financial Disaster

Join Jim and Greg for good, bad, and crazy martinis to wrap up the work week!First, they're impressed as the U.S. economy added 353,000 jobs in January - nearly double the amount expected. They also discuss the potential political impact of reports like this on the 2024 campaign and some additional caveats to the strong numbers.Then they sigh as squad member and Massachusetts Rep. Ayanna Pressley accuses Walgreen's of racial discrimination for closing a second store in her district instead of exploring what other reasons the company would have for shutting down that location.Finally, they fume after a shocking report from Red State shows how the Republican National Committee recklessly spent of money on flowers, limousines, consultants, and office supplies, while the Democratic National Committee focused expenditures on Get Out the Vote campaigns, maintaining voter files, and helping other Dem organizations. And the news only gets worse from there.Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.com/martiniCatch the deal of the day before it is gone!

Biden & Palestinian Statehood, Tlaib Rejects Ban on Hamas Entering the U.S., D.C. Officials Flunk Crime 101

Join Jim and Greg as they serve up three alarming martinis today.First, they fume as the Biden administration is reportedly considering public recognition of a Palestinian state, possibly with no conditions whatsoever. Whether it's really under consideration or just a diplomatic tool to pressure Israel, Jim and Greg explain why this is a terrible idea.Then they groan as far left radicals Rashida Tlaib and Cori Bush are the only two House members to oppose a resolution barring members of Hamas and Islamic Jihad from coming to the U.S. - as well as anyone else proven to be part of the October 7th attacks against Israel.Finally, they shake their heads as District of Columbia Attorney General Brian Schwalb says arrests and prosecutions are not going to solve the rampant carjackings and other crimes engulfing our nation's capital.
