Biden Ready to Deal? Victory for Life in NC, China Touts AI Success
Join Jim and Greg as they serve up two good martinis and an ominous one. First, they're glad to to see President Biden move away from no discussion of reforms in exchange for an increase in the debt ceiling and agree to budget negotiations over the coming days. They also applaud Republicans in the North Carolina legislature for staying unanimous to override Gov. Roy Cooper's veto of a 12-week abortion ban. Finally, they react to news that China aloowed artificial intelligence to control a satellite and make decisions about what it would do. How fast is AI growing? Can we rein it in? And if we do, will our adversaries have a major advantage?Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.comUse code MARTINI to get 10% off your purchase.

The Damning Durham Report, Biden vs. Adams, CNN Sinking Badly
Join Jim and Greg as they recount and analyze the key findings of Special Counsel John Durham, who has been investigating the FBI's premise for launching the investigation into alleged collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign during the 2016 elections. The conclusions are devastating to any remaining shreds of trust in our government: the collusion canard was created by the Hillary Clinton campaign and fed to the FBI, which launched a probe without a single piece of verifiable evidence. The Steele dossier was known to be false by late 2016 and yet top officials at the FBI and Justice Department signed off on FISA warrants that they knew were based on lies, and the Mueller investigation was launched under the same false pretenses. Jim and Greg have a lot to say about this. They also take a closer look at the publicly fraying relationship between President Biden and New York City Mayor Eric Adams, as the illegal immigration crisis engulfs the Big Apple and many other parts of the nation. Finally, they examine the pathetically low ratings of CNN, which is getting mauled by Fox News and MSNBC, and is now losing to NewsMax in prime time.Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.comUse code MARTINI to get 10% off your purchase.

Kamala Forces Biden's Plan B, Badly Broken Borders, DeSantis & 2020
Join Jim and Greg as they break down Joe Biden's Plan B for 2024. As Jim explains, Biden was not supposed to run again. He was supposed to serve one term and have Kamala Harris run this time, except she has been a massive disappointment as VP. They also cringe over the record-setting number of illegal crossings at our southern border last week - more than 83,000. They also note the rapidly growing number of "gotaways" and how the administration is trying to cook the books on the upcoming numbers. Finally, they scratch their heads as the mainstream media contend Gov. Ron DeSantis has trouble saying that Trump lost the 2020 election, but Jim points out DeSantis was pretty clear during his comments in Iowa last week.Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.comUse code MARTINI to get 10% off your purchase.

The Border Nightmare, Biden Bows to China, Manchin for President?
Join Jim and Greg as they serve up two very bad martinis and a crazy but intriguing one. First, they fume as Title 42 ends and the Biden administration offers nothing but lies, gaslighting, and blame shifting to explain the tidal wave of people headed into our country illegally. They also hammer President Biden and the State Department for pulling back on consequences for China's spy balloon episode and and continuing to withhold consequences for the Chinese genocide against the Uighurs and measures designed to restrain Huawei. Finally, they dig into growing speculation that West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin may be preparing to mount a third party bid for president in 2024.Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.comUse code MARTINI to get 10% off your purchase.

Trump vs. CNN, Prosecutor Flees Chicago, Media Bury Biden Allegations
Join Jim and Greg as they dissect the CNN town hall featuring Donald Trump, how Trump got everything he could want out of it, and CNN is now under heavy criticism for hw it played out. They also shudder while appreciating the honesty of a longtime Chicago prosecutor, who is resigning and leaving the state because "progressive reforms" have led to much more crime and violence and he refuses to raise his son there. And they fire back as the mainstream media either ignore the House Oversight Committee's investigation into alleged influence peddling within the Biden family or contend the probe actually exonerates the president.Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.comUse code MARTINI to get 10% off your purchase.

Join Jim and Greg as they react to the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability revealing Biden family influence peddling in multiple nations and a some 20 businesses created to provide layers between the foreign nationals and the Biden family. They also discuss the 13-count indictment against New York GOP Rep. George Santos and what comes next in his saga. Finally, as Title 42 expires tomorrow, they recoil at an NBC News report that the Biden administration is telling Customs & Border Protection to release illegal immigrants into our country with no way to track them and no orders to appear in court.Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriot https://4Patriots.comUse code MARTINI to get 10% off your purchase.

House GOP on Offense, Major DeSantis Momentum, Florida's Desperate Dems
Join Jim and Greg as they bring you two good martinis along with a crazy one that's also pretty good. First, they applaud the House GOP and National Republican Congressional Committee for being on offense during the debt ceiling fight and having more effective messaging on this issues than any time in recent memory. They also take note of the long list of legislative victories that Gov. Ron DeSantis and Florida lawmakers piled up this year, and how it will serve as a springboard into a DeSantis White House bid. Finally, they get a kick out of some Florida Dems trying to recruit former NBA stars Grant Hill and Dwyane Wade into running for U.S. Senate next year.Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.comUse code MARTINI to get 10% off your purchase.

Biden's 'Brutal' Poll, China as Peacemaker? Sinema Staying Independent
Join Jim and Greg as they offer two good martinis and one that's so bad it might be considered crazy. First, they welcome the public's accurate, "brutal" assessment of Biden's job performance in a new ABC News/Washington Post poll. Not only is Biden looking at some of his lowest approval numbers, but a huge majority sees him as mentally unfit and his own party overwhelmingly does not want him to run again. They also shudder as the Biden administration warms up to the absurd notion that China can be the key to peace between Russia and Ukraine. Finally, they react to Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema insisting she will never become a Republican, and why that is good for the right in the short term and the long term.Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.comUse code MARTINI to get 10% off your purchase.

Vulnerable Senate Dems in '24, The SCOTUS Illegitimacy Charade, Where's the Manifesto?
Join Jim and Greg as they wrap up the week. After Jim's choice comments on tomorrow's coronation of King Charles III, they welcome the news that the seven most vulnerable Senate seats in 2024 are all held by Democrats. They also unload on former Clinton campaign figure Brian Fallon for hyperventilating that Justice Clarence Thomas needs to be removed from the Supreme Court and that the entire conservative majority is illegitimate. And they give the real reason the left is so upset about the high court. Finally, they wonder why the FBI still hasn't released the manifesto from the Covenant School shooting in March and apparently has no plans to do so "anytime soon."Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.comUse code MARTINI to get 10% off your purchase.

Not Worried About Default, Decision Time on Hunter Biden, Russia's Drone Strike Accusations
Join Jim and Greg as they present two "good-ish" martinis and a crazy one. After a brief discussion on the declining quality of Star Wars shows and movies, they note how little lawmakers and President Biden plan to be in Washington this month. Jim suspects that schedule shows they are actually quite confident they'll be able to reach a debt ceiling deal. They also welcome the news that we may soon know whether Hunter Biden will face any federal charges for his obvious violations of gun and tax laws, but they are not holding their breath. Finally, they dissect Russia's claim that the U.S. is to blame for alleged drone strikes at the Kremlin.Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.comUse code MARTINI to get 10% off your purchase.
