Americans Back Taiwan, Michigan Attacks Free Speech, Media's Biden Smokescreen
Join Jim and Greg for a full course of good, bad, and crazy martinis. First they react to a new Rasmussen Reports poll revealing that most Americans support Taiwan's independence, and discuss how it clashes with the recently soft stances of the Biden Administration towards the Chinese Communist Party. They then critique a new bill in Michigan that would jail people for up to five years if their speech makes someone "feel threatened". Finally, they comment on the media distracting from the Biden corruption scandal by suggesting the "real lesson" is Joe Biden's unconditional love for his son through Hunter's battles with addiction.

Press Corps Wakes Up, Pelosi Wants SCOTUS Term Limits, Garland's Pathetic Defense
Jim Geraghty is back! After a brief discussion about the confusing Russian coup, Jim and Greg dive into three domestic issues today. First, they're happy to see the White House press corps - even some of the usually compliant members - demanding answers about President Biden's apparent involvement in Hunter Biden's business deals after Biden repeatedly insisted he knew nothing about them. They also roll their eyes as former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who has been in Congress for more than 36 years, calls for term limits for Supreme Court justices. Finally, they push back hard after Attorney General Merrick Garland suggests any accusation of political favoritism coming from the Justice Department is "an attack on an institution that is essential to American democracy." Jim shreds Garland for suggesting criticism of the DOJ is somehow out of bounds, when it's one of our most basic rights and freedoms.Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.comUse code MARTINI to get 10% off your purchase.

Politics & Road Repair, DOJ Impeded Hunter Probe, Freedoms vs. 'The Common Good'
Ricochet.com Editor-in-Chief Jon Gabriel is in for Jim, who will be back on Monday. Join Jon and Greg as they applaud the rapid reopening of Interstate 95 in Philadelphia and note how quickly some projects get done when there is strong political incentive to get it done. They also fume as IRS whistleblowers tell Congress that the Justice Department repeatedly meddled in the Hunter Biden investigation by tipping off Hunter's lawyers at times, forbidding the U.S. attorney from opening multiple investigations, and discouraging the investigation of incriminating messages. Finally, they shudder at the the legislative push in Ireland to "restrict freedom for the common good," which is always the argument for the government stealing our liberties and giving itself more power.Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.comUse code MARTINI to get 10% off your purchase.

Seeking Sanity in Sports, Dems Going Soft on Venezuela, A Hurd of GOP Hopefuls
Ricochet.com Editor-in-Chief Jon Gabriel is in for Jim today. Join Jon and Greg as they break down Senate hearings on whether biological men who identify as women should be permitted to participate in women's sports - and the absurd notion from the left that there really is no difference between them when it comes to athletics. They also roll their eyes as a group of House Democrats asks the Biden administration to ease sanctions on Venezuela in order to help the beleaguered Venezuelan people, as if the people would see an ounce of benefit compared to the corrupt communists running the country. Finally, they groan as former Texas Rep. Will Hurd joins a very crowded Republican presidential field with no chance to win but with a very good chance of accomplishing the one thing he doesn't want to happen.Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.comUse code MARTINI to get 10% off your purchase.

Durham's Dire Warning, Crime-Ridden Cities, Pandemic Learning Loss Persists
Ricochet Editor-in-Chief Jon Gabriel is in for Jim today. Join Jon and Greg as they welcome Special Counsel John Durham's congressional testimony about the FBI's deeply flawed Crossfire Hurricane investigation and how the Bureau used information it knew was false to obtain FISA warrants on Trump campaign figures. They also appreciate Durham saying that a few cosmetic policy changes at the FBI won't solve anything, and that there needs to be much more accountability there - especially at the higher levels. They also cringe as the latest Washington, D.C. violent crime statistics show a big increase over last year and as Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson prioritizes taxpayer-funded housing for illegal immigrants over addressing the Windy City's huge crime problem. Finally, they sigh as the latest testing shows 13-year-olds declined markedly in math and reading skills compared to testing done before the pandemic.Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.comUse code MARTINI to get 10% off your purchase.

Massive COVID Fraud, Gas Stove Doublespeak, High-Speed Rail Delusion
Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour Host Scot Bertram is in for Jim today. Join Scot and Greg for one bad and two crazy martinis. After Scott shares his story of an All-American weekend, they are frustrated and unsurprised at the $403 billion in taxpayer-funded COVID relief that was lost to fraud and government waste. They then react to the mixed messages on gas stove bans, where the left continues to reassure Americans they will not be banned, while many municipalities have already begun their restrictions. Finally, they roll their eyes at the left's obsession with high-speed rail, pointing out that the projects constantly cost much more than expected, and deliver lackluster results.

Dobbs & Declining Abortions, Space Force Discrimination, Media's Trump Obsession
Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour Host Scot Bertram is in for Jim today. Join Scot and Greg as they cheer statistics showing abortions are down in the U.S. since the Dobbs decision at the Supreme Court and way down in states that have enacted stronger pro-life laws. They're also horrified as a three-star general in the U.S. Space Force warns that people who are less qualified for command positions will likely be chosen for them because of state laws banning puberty blockers and radical gender surgeries for minors. Finally, they groan as ABC's "Good Morning America" spends almost an entire interview with GOP presidential candidate and Miami Mayor Francis Suarez asking him about Donald Trump. Scot says this should a major warning sign to the RNC about who ought to host Republican primary debates, and he suggests a familiar name to be a panelist at those debates.Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.comUse code MARTINI to get 10% off your purchase.

Unpopular Presidential Candidates, Fact Checkers Proven Partisan, America's Overdose Crisis
Join Jim and Greg as they serve up three lousy martinis. First, they dissect a new Quinnipiac poll showing Americans strongly dislike the best known presidential candidates, while huge majorities have no clue who many of the other hopefuls are. They're also sadly unsurprised at a Free Beacon report showing that 99.5 percent of all political donations from professional "fact checkers" went to Democrats. Finally, they wince at the new CDC report showing 109,000 overdose deaths in the U.S. in 2022, proving that the COVID severely worsened the problem but the end of the pandemic hasn't improved things at all.
