Never Trumpers Shift Goalposts, Sam's Bogus FTX Excuses, Cochise County's Holdout

Join Jim and Greg as they serve up three crazy martinis today. First, they roll their eyes as the Never Trump crowd who turned our to be never conservative feverishly insists other Republicans like Ron DeSantis must be opposed just as vigorously. Jim also walks through Sam Bankman-Fried's thoroughly unbelievable explanation for the collapse of FTX. And they have no idea why Cochise County, Arizona, is refusing to submit election results when there is no controversy over the voting in that county and the holdout will potentially harm other GOP candidates.Please visit our great sponsors:Liver Health Formulahttps://GetLiverhelp.com/MartiniVisit today or call 800-282-1757 to claim your risk-free supply of Liver Health Formula and all 5 bonus gifts.

DeSantis vs. Apple, Biden's Haiti Problem, Will McCarthy Have the Votes?

Join Jim and Greg as they cheer Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for blasting Apple's nauseating practices of silencing American voices it disagrees with and groveling before the Chinese government by making it harder for protesters there to get their messages out. They also groan as the crisis in Haiti is on the brink of collapse and the Biden administration fails to get other nations to take the lead on the response. And they discuss whether Kevin McCarthy will have the 218 votes needed to become speaker after at least two GOP members say they won't back him on the House floor come January.

Dems Clearing for Biden? Weak Western Leadership, RNC Leadership Fight

Join Jim and Greg as they dissect the reversal of the Biden retirement narrative and now Democrats seem to be unifying behind an unpopular president in decline. It might be the GOP's best chance to win, but it's no guarantee. They also shake their heads as the Biden administration offers no response to the protests in China and Canada's Justin Trudeau finds protests designed to change public policy to be "worrisome." And they wade into the battle to lead the Republican National Committee, assessing the candidacies of current chairman Ronna McDaniel, New York Rep. Lee Zeldin, and My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell. And they bid farewell to one of the great actors from "Die Hard."Please visit our great sponsors:Omaha Steakshttps://omahasteaks.com/martiniUse code Martini at checkout for an extra 30% off.

Widespread China Protests, Iran's Blinding Crackdown, Trump's Unappetizing Guests

After a brief discussion of the Jets decisive victory over the Bears, Jim and Greg cheer on the brave protesters in China who are fed up with the CCP's suffocating COVID policies and demanding other freedoms in the face of a repressive regime. They also wince as an Iranian paramilitary group violently confronts protesters and even blinds many of them. And they react to Trump's dinner with Kanye West last week that also included Milo Yiannopoulos and Nick Fuentes - a trio that Jim refers to as "the Mount Rushmore of lunatics."Please visit our great sponsors:Omaha Steakshttps://omahasteaks.com/martiniUse code Martini at checkout for an extra 30% off.

Iranian Courage, FIFA Corruption, Dems Boosting Trump

Join Jim and Greg as they are stunned by the Iranian World Cup team refusing to sing their national anthem and the captain directly stating that the players support the protesters back home. Jim also lays into FIFA, which organizes the World Cup, for its pattern of corruption and coziness with authoritarian regimes like Qatar, Russia, and China. And they have plenty to say about how Democrats plan to help Donald Trump become the GOP nominee in 2024 because they think he will be easier to beat than Gov. DeSantis.

The Laptop is Real, Disney Lurches Left Again, Haley Hints Towards 2024

They also groan as Disney boots CEO Bob Chapek and brings back former longtime CEO Bob Iger. Jim says there are financial reasons for the move but suspects politics are a major factor as well. Finally, they note former UN ambassador and former South Carolina Gov.
