NYT's Laughably Bad Advice, Clinton Impeachment 25th Anniversary, Trump Targets Chip Roy

Join Jim and Greg as they dissect a New York Times poll that the Times itself insists is proof that Biden needs to be less supportive of Israel in order to keep young people voting for him. Jim gets a kick out of the Times trying to help Biden while actually hurting him and explains why it's doing a terrible job of reading the poll.They also issue a parental advisory as they reflect on the 25th anniversary of the GOP-led House of Representatives impeaching Bill Clinton. Jim explains why he believes time vindicates the Republican position and they consider the larger political and cultural ramifications of Clinton getting away with his deplorable behavior.Finally, they roll their eyes as Donald Trump absurdly calls conservative Texas Rep. Chip Roy a RINO simply for supporting Ron DeSantis - and also for urging someone to challenge Roy in the primary even though the filing deadline was last week.Please visit our great sponsors:Omaha Steakshttps://omahasteaks.comSave big with 50% off sitewide plus use Promo Code MARTINI at checkout to get an extra $30 off.

Dems Worried Biden Will Lose, Iran Targets U.S. Forces 100 Times, Gen Z's 'Menu Anxiety'

Join Jim and Greg as they enjoy reports suggesting Biden is frustrated with his advisers because the American people continue to think he's doing a lousy job. And Democrats down the ballot are getting worried he could become a drag for them too. They also fume as Iranian proxy groups targets American forces for the 100th time in the past two months. Biden's responses have been extremely timid and the media are dutifully downplaying the reports of these attacks.Finally, they sigh as new polling shows a disturbingly high percentage of young adults diagnose themselves with "menu anxiety." They are very uncomfortable speaking with waiters and waitresses, fear ordering something they may not like, and some ask others at the table to speak to the waiter on their behalf.

NYT's Latest Leftward Lurch, The Gullible White House Interns, Boston's 'Electeds of Color' Party

Jim and Greg finish off the week with three important martinis, right after they give the very predictable update of that Hamas official from yesterday saying his comments were "taken out of context" and that he does not support the recognition of Israel.Then they give credit to former New York Times Editorial Page Editor James Bennet for savaging the paper by evolving from taking sides in debates to shutting down opposing viewpoints and serving only as an echo chamber for progressives about a world that doesn't really exist. Bennet was ousted in 2020 after running an op-ed from Sen. Tom Cotton that argued for bringing in troops to quell the riots in American cities. That decision led to a newsroom revolt at the Times.They also scratch their heads over reports that the White House intern letter demanding a ceasefire in the Middle East was started in a group chat by someone none of the interns knew. Jim explains why that story raises multiple serious concerns.Finally, they shake their heads at the obvious double standard as Boston officials take heat getting caught holding an "Electeds of Color" holiday party, to which white city council members were not supposed to be invited but accidentally were.Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.com/martiniCatch the deal of the day before it is gone!

Is Hamas Inching Towards Reality? Sobering Palestinian Poll, Public Doesn't Care What You Name Your Bill

Join Jim and Greg as they discuss a Haaretz story quoting a Hamas official arguing that it's time for the terrorist organization to follow the PLO's lead and recognize Israel. Have two months of intense military operations caused some Hamas figures to seriously reconsider their radicalism or is this simply a tactic designed to attract some more international sympathy?They follow that up with a new poll that shreds the ongoing narrative that there is a wide gulf between Hamas and what the Palestinian people want. The survey shows 72 percent of Palestinians support the Hamas atrocities on October 7, even when considering what has happened since.Finally, a bit closer to home, they react to a CBS poll showing that no matter how clever lawmakers think they are in naming legislation, many Americans still have no idea the bills exist.Please visit out great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.com/martiniCatch the deal of the day before it is gone!

House GOP's Border Demands, Hunter Biden: 2nd Amendment Hero? Youngkin's Arena Deal

Join Jim and Greg as they once again serve up at least two good martinis, and possibly a third.First, they applaud House Speaker Mike Johnson for demanding major action on border security as part of any deal to continue aid to Ukraine. And Jim fumes that Biden could have done this deal months ago, all to his own political benefit but his refusal to acknowledge the reality at the border is costing him dearly.They also get a kick out of Hunter Biden trying to avoid his gun charges by claiming the Supreme Court's Bruen decision in 2022 means a gun buyer should no longer have to answer whether he is a current or former drug user. It's a case that puts his own interests at direct odds with his father's prioritites on the Second Amendment.Finally, they examine the deal Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin seems to have made to lure the Washington Capitals and Washington Wizards to a new home across the river from D.C. They're pleased to see most Virginia taxpayers don't appear to be on the hook for the cost but nothing is finalized yet and there are some other concerns.

The Truth About Inflation, Al Gore Wants to Ban News Algorithms, White House Hanukkah Blunders

It's bad and crazy martinis today after a Monday full of good news. Join Jim and Greg as they wince over CNBC's Rick Santelli offering a painful much much-needed explanation of compounding inflation - far from the White House narrative that Biden has it under control. He doesn't.They also roll their eyes as Al Gore takes a reasonable concern - social media pushing questionable posts to the top of your feed due to the level of engagement - and makes the absurd argument that these posts are damaging to democracy, are the "digital equivalent of the AR-15" and ought to be banned. Finally, they cringe as the Biden administration fails to reply to family members of remaining hostages in Gaza who asked to attend the lighting of the White House menorah. Meanwhile, the husband of Vice President Harris completely butchers his explanation of Hanukkah.Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.com/martiniCatch the deal of the day before it is gone!

Milei Slashes Argentina Agencies, Jackson Lee Trounced in Houston, Enlightening Middle East Poll

Join Jim and Greg serve up three good martinis to start the week. First, they watch new Argentinian President Javier Milei with great interest, especially after he shuttered 12 of 21 government ministries on his first day in office. What impact will these libertarian principles have on the nation and beyond?They also breathe a sigh of relief for Houston, Texas. While they have no great expectations for incoming Mayor John Whitmire, they're glad that voters rejected longtime far left Texas Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee by a wide margin.Finally, they discuss a survey of college students showing 86 percent support the phrase "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free." Yet only 47 percent know which river and sea are involved. And the good news is that the vast majority of students who realized that the chant implies the eradication of Israel then oppose it.Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.com/martiniCatch the deal of the day before it is gone!

Hunter Biden Tax Indictments, CAIR's Extremism & Biden's Retreat, Pentagon vs. Free Speech

Join Jim and Greg as they close out the week with three big martinis. First, they review the nine new tax charges filed against Hunter Biden, including three felonies, and review just how brazen Hunter's lies to the IRS were. Listener discretion advised as we discuss his "business expenses."They also recoil at the comments of CAIR Executive Director Nihad Awad, who referred to October 7 as Gaza removing the shackles and leaving its concentration camp and alleged Gaza has the right to self-defense but Israel does not. And they note how quickly the Biden administration is now pretending it did not have a warm relationship with CAIR up until the speech.Finally, they react to the latest reporting from Michael Shellenberger showing how a cyber threat entity inside the Pentagon was allegedly turned into an effort to confront "disinformation" from Americans online.Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.com/martiniCatch the deal of the day before it is gone!

Strong DeSantis Moments, Dems Refuse to Address the Border, Major Debate Sniping

Join Jim and Greg as they serve up three important martinis, but they begin by reacting to Thursday morning's House censure of New York Democrat Jamal Bowman for deliberately pulling a fire alarm to delay a floor vote a couple of months ago.Then they cheer a couple of strong moments from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in Wednesday night's debate, including demanding college and universities have more skin in the game when it comes to student loans and citing Calvin Coolidge as a president who inspires him. They also hammer the Biden administration for balking at efforts by congressional Republicans to address the obviously broken border and tying it to aid for Ukraine and Israel.Finally, they head back to the debate and address the many dust-ups, usually involving Vivek Ramaswamy against Nikki Haley and Chris Christie.Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.com/martiniCatch the deal of the day before it is gone!

College Presidents' Rank Hypocrisy, FBI Ignores Need for Warrants, White House Interns Demand Ceasefire

Join Jim and Greg as they react to the presidents of Harvard, MIT, and Penn having a very hard time deciding whether large groups of students calling for genocide in Israel constitute harassing speech. It's especially hypocritical when considering how quick these administrators are to champion BLM, feminists, and the LGBT activists.They also cheer Utah Sen. Mike Lee for blasting FBI Director Christopher Wray for the bureau's failure to to pursue warrants in seeking information on American citizens in all 103 cases in which it was required. Finally, they roll their eyes as White House interns go public with a letter to President Biden demanding a ceasefire in the Middle East.And they offer real time reaction to the news that former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy will resign from Congress later this month.Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.com/martiniCatch the deal of the day before it is gone!
