3 Martini Lunch – Political Humor & Commentary

As the United States marks 247 years of independence, it's time to celebrate what we love about this country. While many people in this country prefer to focus on what they think is wrong with the U.S. or contend that it has been flawed from the beginning, Jim and Greg take time to express some of the different things they love about being Americans. From the revolutionary ideas that led to our founding freedoms to understanding how much better we have it than other nations and from the beauty of our land to the variety of places we can live and visit, there is so much to appreciate about being an American.Timestamps:1:46 - Loving the variety we have in the U.S.4:28 - Loving our founding principles7:23 - Experiencing other countries makes you love America more11:39 - America as a beacon of hope brought our ancestors here14:45 - The people of the U.S. help to make us great18:42 - America is beautifulPlease visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.comUse code MARTINI to get 10% off your purchase.

Some of our favorite episodes are the ones where you ask Jim and Greg questions and they offer their takes on politics, sports, pop culture or whatever else is on your mind.Today, they analyze why people with no chance of being elected president decide to run for the office anyway and respond to a listener who wants the people to have a say on who Jim and Greg label as the poster child for generic Republicans.They also take on a question about how to tame the administrative state and stop unelected government bureaucrats from making rules and de facto laws. Would it help to adopt a constitutional amendment explaining that power rests only in Congress? And of course there's a question about "Die Hard." Specifically, should this epic film ever be rebooted, and if so, who should direct it and star in it?Timestamps:1:23 - Why do people run for president when they have no chance of winning7:06 - Should listeners get to choose who we label as the poster child for generic Republicans?12:29 - How do we tame the administrative state?

Election Day 2024 is more than 16 months away, but the first Republican debate is less than two months away and voters in the first primary and caucus states will be casting their ballots in just a few months. Today, Jim and Greg examine the state of the campaign in three different ways.First, they look at the Democratic primary. While President Biden has a commanding lead over Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Marianne Williamson, the enthusiasm - even among Democrats - is very low for another four years of Biden. Will the Democrats stick with Biden regardless of his approval numbers and mounting evidence of physical and mental decline? Then they pivot to the Republican primary, where former President Trump has opened a big lead over Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis both nationally and increasingly in the states. Is the GOP base loyalty towards Trump locked in and virtually irreversible or is there an avenue for DeSantis or anyone else to close the gap.Finally, they preview a likely Biden-Trump rematch and consider how much the electorate has changed in the past few years. Will Biden's poor performance be enough of a boost for Trump or will Trump's focus on 2020 and his legal challenges lead to another four years for Biden?Timestamps:1:07 - The Democrats are gambling on Joe Biden again9:18 - The curious case of Kamala Harris10:48 - The GOP primary. Has the base already sided with Trump?18:57 - Would Biden-Trump II be different than Biden-Trump I?Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.comUse code MARTINI to get 10% off your purchase.

Join Jim and Greg for good, bad, and crazy martinis. First they applaud the Supreme Court's decision to deem Affirmative Action unconstitutional in college admissions. They then blast the FAA, the airlines, and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg for air travel turning into a miserable experience this summer. Finally, they discuss the recent Biden administration decision to provide a "safety net" for borrowers as student loan payments resume for the first time since the COVID pandemic hit.Timestamps: 1:19 - SCOTUS ruling on Affirmative Action11:14 - Airlines, Buttigieg blame each other for summer air travel problems18:45 - Biden administration plans "safety net" for borrowers on student loansPlease visit our great sponsors: 4Patriothttps://4Patriots.comUse code MARTINI to get 10% off your purchase.

Join Jim and Greg for good, bad, and crazy martinis. First they react to IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley's allegations of interference by the DOJ regarding the Hunter Biden investigation, and being blocked entirely from investigating Joe Biden. They then discuss the recent report from Ford Motor Company that it expects to lose $3 billion in operating profit on electric vehicles. Finally, they laugh and cringe at President Biden saying Russian President Vladimir Putin, "is clearly losing the war in Iraq."

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
