House Hearings Expose Infuriating Truths on COVID, Afghanistan
You might need something stronger than a martini as Jim and Greg dig into three big stories today. First, they respond to the congressional testimony of former CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield, who said our top officials knew from the start that COVID likely came from a lab leak and then knowingly pushed a false narrative that the virus naturally occurred. And the maddening truth doesn't stop there. Then they tackle the gut-wrenching testimony of a U.S. Marine Corps sniper stationed at Abbey Gate on the day of the terrorist attack during the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan. Sgt. Tyler Vargas-Andrews says he and others had the bomber spotted and were ready to take him out but they never had permission to fire. And his frustration grew even more when no one in our government wanted to hear his story. Finally, Jim dissects California Gov. Gavin Newsom's condemnation of Walgreen's for refusing to sell abortion-inducing drugs in states where the retailer might get sued. Jim explains how Newsom frequently ignores the most basic responsibilities of governing and how he tries to distract his constituents from his terrible record.Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4patriots.comNever get caught in the dark.

Hammering House Dems on Crime, The Left's DeSantis Derangement, Biden's Fentanyl Fiction
Join Jim and Greg as they highlight the National Republican Congressional Committee ads against swing district House Democrats. This comes after 173 Dems opposed legislation seeking to overturn the Washington, D.C. City Council's soft on crime policies. They also appreciate Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis making it clear he does not support legislation requiring political bloggers to register with the state government and note how hysterical leftists in the media are getting about a possible DeSantis presidential candidacy. Finally, they push back at White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre's attempts to suggest anything about fentanyl is at record lows at our southern border.Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4patriots.comNever get caught in the dark.

Masks Off, China's New Taiwan Threat, Pennsylvania Rerun?
Join Jim and Greg as they serve up three crazy martinis! First, they note New York City Mayor Eric Adams demanding that people remove their masks before entering stores. It's an effort to identify shoplifters and looters, which is good, but it wasn't long ago that that you couldn't do much of anything in the Big Apple unless you were masked up. They also shake their heads as China makes another overt threat towards Taiwan, mentioning a blacklist of Taiwanese figures to kill during the coming invasion. Finally, there's less than thrilled that the Republican who lost the Pennsylvania governor's race last year is thinking about running for U.S. Senate next year.Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4patriots.comNever get caught in the dark.

Hogan Won't Run, Zeldin's GOP Pep Talk, Equality vs. Equity
Join Jim and Greg as they welcome former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan's decision not to run for the GOP presidential nomination. They also cheer Lee Zeldin for imploring Republicans to go fight for every vote by going into every precinct (even the deep blue ones) and sharing conservative ideas on crime, education, economic growth and more. Finally, they enjoy watching Sen. Bernie Sanders sit dumbfounded as Bill Maher asks him to explain the difference between equality and equity. It's a revealing moment because they are very different ideas that the left tries to use interchangeably to confuse people.Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4patriots.comNever get caught in the dark.

Biden Ditches Dems Over D.C., Portland's Crime Problem, Manchin's Delicate Dance
Join Jim and Greg as they get three or even four pieces of good news over President Biden deciding to sign legislation to reverse new, softer crime laws in Washington, D.C., if the Senate passes it. They also wince as Portland's rampant looting problems force Nike to demand security from off-duty police officers and Walmart announces it is closing every store in the city. Finally, they get kick out of Sen. Joe Manchin trying to get back in the good graces of West Virginia voters by pretending he's not sure if he would support President Biden for another term.Please visit out great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4patriots.comNever get caught in the dark.

Two Dems Defy Biden, Garland's Night Blindness, Kerry Disappointed In Us
Join Jim and Greg as they welcome Sens. Joe Manchin and Jon Tester joining with the GOP to pass a bill reversing a Labor Department rule on factoring climate and social matters into investing decisions. We realize it's a political calculation but Tester and Manchin still voted the right way. They also thoroughly unimpressed by the Senate testimony of Attorney General Merrick Garland, who says there have been so few arrests in response to attacks on pregnancy centers because the crimes happened at night. Finally, they are crestfallen to learn Biden Climate Envoy John Kerry is disappointed in so many of us for how we drive, heat our homes, and more.Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriot https://4patriots.comNever get caught in the dark.

Lightfoot Gets Stomped, Tucker & Ukraine, Total TikTok Ban?
Join Jim and Greg as they cheer 83 percent of Chicago voters for rejecting a second term for Mayor Lori Lightfoot following four years of skyrocketing murders and other violence. They also wade into the divide on the right over what level of aid the U.S. ought to be providing to Ukraine and what impact Fox News host Tucker Carlson is having on the debate due to his intense criticism of Ukraine and NATO. Finally, they discuss a bill making its way through the House of Representatives that would ban TikTok on all devices in the U.S. TikTok is Chinese spyware and having it on any device is a horrible idea. But should the government or individual citizens make that decision?Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4patriots.comNever get caught in the dark.

A Lefty's Advice for the Left, A Vice Presidential Primary? Late Night vs. Reality
Join Jim and Greg as they welcome a well known woman of the left advising Democrats to take a serious approach to the House investigation of Hunter Biden and the Biden family. They also have a lot of fun with former White House Counsel Greg Craig's suggestion that the Democrats have an open primary for vice president. It's obviously a sign of low enthusiasm for Kamala Harris but it's also a political free-for-all that would be very entertaining - although they know it will never happen. Finally, they roll their eyes as the late night water carriers for leftist talking points take shots at the Department of Energy over the recent COVID lab leak conclusion.Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4patriots.comNever get caught in the dark.

Lab Leak Momentum, Social Media Mayhem, Lower LAPD Standards?
Join Jim and Greg as they react to the Department of Energy warming to the idea that the COVID pandemic originated with a lab leak in China. They also welcome the bipartisan concern over the devastating impact that social media is having on teenagers, including significant increases in suicidal thoughts - particularly among girls. Finally, they cringe as new Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass wants to lower standards for police recruits in order to increase the diversity of the LAPD.Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4patriots.comNever get caught in the dark.

Buttigieg's Bad Day, Consumer Spending Concerns, Marianne Williamson Is Back
Join Jim and Greg as they appreciate the National Transportation Safety Board explanation of what really led to the train derailment in Ohio - an ignored warning on an overheated axle and not some left-wing fiction about reckless deregulation. Plus, they discuss what this means for Buttigieg's political future and how President Biden may have stumbled into a stroke of political genius. They also wince at the latest consumer expenditure numbers suggesting inflation may be stubbornly high for quite a bit longer. And they get a kick out of the news that Marianne Williamson plans to enter the Democratic presidential field, but also wonder whether more prominent figures on the left will follow her lead.Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4patriots.comNever get caught in the dark.
