Debt Ceiling Deal, EU vs. Twitter, Neuralink's Promise vs. Peril
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 Europe later this summer. Finally, they discuss the FDA approval of human trials for Elon Musk's Neuralink brain implants and highlight the potential for amazing breakthroughs and disastrous unforeseen consequences.Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.comUse code MARTINI to get 10% off your purchase.

GOP's Strong Messaging, Mastriano Won't Run, Pentagon Clueless on AI Threat
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. Seth Moulton sounds the alarm that the Pentagon has "no direction whatsoever" in confronting the role of artificial intelligence in the militaries of our adversaries and he says we don't have very long to prepare.Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.comUse code MARTINI to get 10% off your purchase.

The DeSantis Rollout, Biden Will Get Debt Blame, IRS Targets Taibbi
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 debt. Finally, they fume at the very shaky premise for the IRS going to the home of Twitter Files reporter Matt Taibbi on the day he testified to Congress about government efforts to silence free speech - and the very shady way the IRS initiated it's investigation.Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.comUse code MARTINI to get 10% off your purchase.

All-American Chips, Youngkin Reconsiders 2024, Fetterman's 'Recovery'
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 welcome reports from other lawmakers that he seems to be doing better.

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.

New York's Energy Madness, When Lawmakers Can't Function, Politico's Ugly Hypocrisy
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 the political implications of a resignation, and consider whether there is any good method for addressing these cases other than leaving the decision up to a lawmaker in obvious decline. Finally, they unload on Politico, not only for a nasty attack on Ron and Casey DeSantis, but for running with the accusation that Mrs. DeSantis is some sort of Lady MacBeth, just six months after Politico condemned the "Lady MacBeth trope" when it was used against Jill Biden and Giselle Fetterman.Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.comUse code MARTINI to get 10% off your purchase.

Montana Bans TikTok, Air Force Security Failures, America's Royal Pain
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-threatening car chase with paparazzi that turned out to be virtually nothing.Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.comUse code MARTINI to get 10% off your purchase.
