Grand Jury Games, Vivek's Challenge, The Missing Santos Donations
Join Jim and Greg as they scratch their heads over the left's own goal as the foreman of the grand jury in Atlanta does a bizarre media tour ahead of any announced indictments connected to the 2020 presidential race in Georgia. They also discuss the long shot GOP White House bid of Vivek Ramaswamy, with Jim saying this seems highly premature for a guy with no government experience. But they also discuss how presidents with decades in politics - like Joe Biden - prove that's no guarantee of success either. Finally, they shake their heads at reports that George Santos claimed to make major donations to other Republican campaigns during the 2020 election cycle, but those other campaigns have no record of receiving that money.Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriot https://4patriots.comNever get caught in the dark.

And They Wonder Why We Don't Trust Government
Join Jim and Greg as they give credit to the New York Times for admitting that mask mandates accomplished nothing, either for individuals or larger communities. It did lead to lot of angry confrontations, and apparently our government officials have learned nothing. They also discuss the growing media attention to the toxic train accident in Ohio and how government response to a crisis is often proportional to the amount of media coverage a story gets. Finally, they hammer the Defense Department and the Air Force for releasing the confidential military files of Republican lawmakers and candidates to opposition research firms working with Democrats.Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4patriots.comNever get caught in the dark.

House Dem Departing, False START, Don Lemon's 'Formal Training'
Join Jim and Greg as they welcome the news that a far left House Democrat is leaving in June to take a job in the private sector, leaving Dems with one less vote for five months. They also react to Vladimir Putin announcing that Russia is suspending participation in the most recent START agreement that Biden though was such a grand achievement in 2021. They also wonder what the U.S. is really ready to do if China gets more aggressive in aiding the Russian war effort. Finally, they roll their eyes as Don Lemon is allowed to return to CNN but will be required to undergo "formal training" after his comments about women being past their prime last week. In addition, they take a deeper look into the venomous, sometimes racist comments unleashed against Haley because she happens to be on the political right.Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4patriots.comNever get caught in the dark.

Hogan Flunks Education, Trump's Absurd Attack, Politico's Nauseating Tips for Journos
Join Jim and Greg as they serve up three lousy martinis for the Presidents Day edition. First, they groan as former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan makes it clear education is not at the top of his priority list as a possible presidential candidate, and he accepts and agrees with NBC's false explanation of the approach Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is taking on education policy. They also sigh as President Trump unleashes a social media rant against reporter Salena Zito for doing a favorable profile on DeSantis - noting that Zito's reporting in 2016 explained better than anyone why Trump and his message were resonating so strongly in places Republicans hadn't won in decades. Finally, they roll their eyes at Politico's tips for faking your way through conversations with journalists and others in Washington to advance your reporting career.Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriot https://4patriots.comNever get caught in the dark.

Natural Immunity Vindicated, Equity vs. Honors Classes, GOP Losers Running Again?
Join Jim and Greg offer a quick update on yesterday's Don Lemon saga before serving up their three martinis for the day. First, they welcome new studies from the Lancet and beyond showing people who developed natural immunity from a bout with COVID did just as well as the vaccinated against future cases and that natural immunity was stronger against reinfection than the jab. Those who demanded getting shots to keep your job or just be part of society will sure to file this news in the memory hole as quickly as possible. They also unload at the California school district that decided to end high school honors classes in English because they were not diverse enough. Jim explains why those school officials took exactly the wrong course of action. Finally, react to several flawed and failed GOP House and Senate candidates from last year gearing up to run again.

Toxic Train Disaster, Lemon's Prime Lunacy, Biden Backer's Bogus Claim
Join Jim and Greg as they discuss the frustrating lack of answers from Norfolk Southern railroad or the government for the residents of East Palestine, Ohio, worried about 20 rail cars filled with toxic substances spilling in their community after a derailment. They also light up CNN's Don Lemon for suggesting that 51-year-old Nikki Haley is past her prime" and so is every woman beyond her twenties, thirties, and maybe forties. The CNN discussion followed Haley's suggestion that every political figure over the age of 75 be required to take a mental competency test before serving, an obvious reference to President Biden and President Trump. Haley's idea prompted Delaware Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester to declare Biden has more energy now than he did in his forties. Jim and Greg aren't buying it.

Senate Races; Good Riddance, Dianne; Spy Balloon
Chad Benson is in for Greg Corombos today.GOOD: Montana Democratic senator Jon Tester might not run, which would give the GOP a nice headstart in the 2024 Senate races.BAD: Good riddance, Dianne Feinstein; while I could see the argument this is good, it's been an open secret that she's senile for years and she just stayed in office. Ideally this would spur a serious discussion of what to do when a lawmaker is too old to perform her duties but refuses to resign.CRAZY: Wait, so the military had been tracking the chinese spy balloon from its launch?Please visit our great sponsors:Liver Healthhttps://GetLiverHelp.com/MARTINITry Liver Health Formula completely risk-free and receive 5 FREE gifts when you order today.

Shooting Down UFOs; Russia Targets Americans; Tim Scott For President
Chad Benson is in for Greg Corombos today, and the traditional good, bad and crazy order of the martinis is reversed, as Chad and Jim contemplate the third unidentified flying object shot down by the U.S. military in three days; another U.S. State Department warning to Americans in Russia to leave the country as soon as possible to avoid a ‘wrongful detention,’ and the intriguing potential of a presidential campaign by U.S. senator Tim Scott of South Carolina.

Exposing FBI Bias, Fetterman Health Falsehoods, Left Attacks Free Speech Again
Join Jim and Greg as they applaud the congressional testimony of former FBI Special Agent Nicole Parker about how the politics of the FBI's leadership are affecting the work and the credibility of the bureau. But will shining the spotlight on this result in any meaningful changes? They also fume as new reporting on Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman's stroke and very difficult recovery prove that the campaign and Fetterman's doctor flat-out lied to the people of Pennsylvania and that Fetterman's inability to process what he hears is making it very difficult for him to do his job. Finally, they unload on the State Department for spending U.S. tax dollars through outside groups to muzzle conservative reporting through the Orwellian-sounding Global Disinformation Index.
