3 Martini Lunch

Join Jim and Greg as they celebrate the huge, peaceful, civilized rally in support of Israel on Tuesday, an event which brought a very welcome contrast to the violent, hateful demonstrations seen on campus and beyond against Israel and even supportive of Hamas. They also wince at reports that President Biden is planning to sign a deal with Chinese dictator Xi Xinping to limit the use of artificial intelligence in nuclear weapons systems and drones because China won't honor anything it signs if it has a strategic interest in violating the agreement. Finally, they size up Tuesday's near fight on Capitol Hill between Oklahoma Sen. Markwayne Mullin and Teamsters Union President Sean O'Brien with Bernie Sanders intervening to stop it. And former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy was part of a dust-up on the House side of Capitol Hill.Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.com/martiniCatch the deal of the day before it is gone!

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome the detailed reporting from CNN's Nic Robertson, as Israeli Defense Forces explained to him on camera how Hamas was using a hospital in Gaza as an armory and military command post - a strategy that unnecessarily put many civilians in harm's way. They also sigh as House Republicans still cannot seem to agree on much - the latest evidence being the failure to impeach Homeland Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, who so richly deserves to get the boot. There's also the fight over government spending as the Freedom Caucus refuses to get behind another continuing resolution backed by House Speaker Mike Johnson.Finally, they say no way as New York Gov. Kathy Hochul announces she has created a social media analysis unit to crack down on hate online. While there is too much hate online, giving the government more power over our speech is a recipe for disaster.Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.com/martiniCatch the deal of the day before it is gone!

Join Jim and Greg as they applaud South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott for his presidential campaign but also for recognizing that it's not going to happen for him in 2024 and suspending his White House bid.They also throw up their hands as Politico confirms that President Biden is incapable of governing and campaigning like a normal president. But instead of arguing he should retire, the piece suggests strategies for the Biden campaign to cover up the president's liabilities and bring in veteran campaign officials to get him over the finish line.Finally, they shake their heads as San Francisco officials prove they can clean up the city within the budget when a bunch of foreign leaders are coming to town but they won't do it on a daily basis for the taxpayers who pay the bills.Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.com/martiniCatch the deal of the day before it is gone!

Former Chief Assistant U.S. Attorney and National Review Contributing Editor Andy McCarthy is in for Jim, who will be back on Monday. Today, Andy and Greg break down West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin announcing he will not run for the U.S. Senate again in 2024 and will instead travel the nation "to see if there is interest in creating a movement to mobilize the middle." Andy and Greg assess the impact another third-party candidate might have on the outcome next year.They also dig into the Nashville police refusing to release the manifesto from the Covenant School murderer and suspending several officers for their alleged role in leaking a few pages from the document. Andy explains why he sees this as another maddening example of our two-tiered justice system.Finally, they get a big laugh out of NBC trying to label Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis a hypocrite for saying politicians' kids should be left out of political arguments because he's publicly critical of 53-year-old Hunter Biden.Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.com/martiniCatch the deal of the day before it is gone!

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour Host Scot Bertram is in for Jim. Today, Scot and Greg dissect a poll showing President Biden with a 52 disapproval rate in deep blue California. Republicans have virtually no chance to win the state but there is clearly widespread dissatisfaction in Biden's performance. They also recoil at the news Associated Press and Reuters photojournalists were embedded with Hamas during their ghastly slaughter of Israelis on October 7. Some of those photographers also freelanced with CNN and the New York Times. This raises so many questions about what the news organizations may have known ahead of time and how they dealt with learning their employees were there and possibly even participating.Finally, they groan as Michigan leftists makes plans to set up solar and wind farms on 209,000 acres of the state and have stripped local leaders from being able to refuse these projects in their jurisdictions. And even that huge amount of land isn't enough to meet the 100 percent renewable energy mandates set for 2040.Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.com/martiniCatch the deal of the day before it is gone!

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome the House of Representatives delivering a bipartisan censure to Michigan Rep, Rashida Tlaib for her brazen lies about the Gaza hospital bombing and her overt gaslighting about the true meaning of "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free." They also sigh as they track disappointing election results in Kentucky, Virginia, and Ohio. They also offer reasons for the GOP's losses, where the politics go next on abortion, and much more. Plus, they try to find some silver linings.Finally, they wonder when the Republican Party will have some tough discussions about the path forward and whether any of that will come up in tonight's GOP presidential debate.Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.com/martiniCatch the deal of the day before it is gone!

Join Jim and Greg as they set the stage for today's off-year elections that will have big consequences in states like Virginia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Jersey and more. Then they kick off the martinis with a focus on Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds endorsing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for president. How much does her endorsement matter and will we actually get a competitive primary?They also shudder at the news that our annual interest payments on the national debt are now more than $1 trillion per year. It's an issue that both parties have intentionally ignored for decades and the consequences are going to be ugly.Finally, they roll their eyes as Florida Rep. Jared Moskowitz insists that lousy polls for President Biden over the past two years are merely a "messaging issue."Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.com/martiniCatch the deal of the day before it is gone!

Join Jim and Greg as they respond to a new New York Times/Siena College showing Donald Trump leading President Biden in five of six swing states, and the calls from Democrats for Biden not to run next year are growing louder. But will he? Who would replace him? And this poll most damaging to Republican presidential candidates claiming that Donald Trump is unelectable?They also slam former President Barack Obama for suggesting "all of us are complicit" for the ongoing mess in the Middle East. Jim outlines many of Obama's failed approach to the Middle East that coddled Iran and put far more pressure on Israel than the people who don't want Israel to exist.Finally, they shred Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib for trying to claim that the chant "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" is about "peaceful coexistence" and not a call for violence and genocide.Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.com/martiniCatch the deal of the day before it is gone!

Jim spent more than a week in Taiwan, getting first-hand briefing and answers to key questions about how our ally is bracing for a possible Chinese invasion. Today, Jim briefs us on what he learned - the good the bad and the crazy.First, Jim explains the significant advantages Taiwan has in the event of Chinese aggression. From the physical characteristics of the island to the massive urban setting and even jungle conditions in other areas, China would face a hostile environment in addition to a hostile population.Then Jim details the sobering assessment that China will likely attack within the next several years. He also shares how Taiwan's lack of formal independence gives it a second-class status in several important ways - from the United Nations to being ignored by Interpol and the World Health Organization.Finally, Jim reveals some of the intense and amusing sidelights, from being caught in an earthquake to the quirks of other journalists on the trip to his overt jealousy of the superior engineering of Taiwanese toilets.Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.com/martiniCatch the deal of the day before it is gone!
