Youngkin's Smart Energy Plan, Biden's 'Armageddon' Blunder, CNN's Ham-Handed Suspension
Join Jim and Greg as they cheer Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin for a very sensible plan to champion gas and nuclear power as a way to keep energy abundant and affordable. They also shudder as President Biden starts blabbing about how Russia has us closer to "Armageddon" than any time since the Cuban Missile Crisis. And they highlight just how partisan and petty CNN's former leadership was in suspending conservative commentator Mary Katherine Ham for a very flimsy reason and never even telling her.

GOP Plans China Focus, Trafalgar's Bold Theory, Twitter's 'Fact-Checking'
Join Jim and Greg as they cheer House Republicans for planning to shine a bright spotlight on China's many atrocities at home and abroad - from pushing fentanyl into the U.S. to supply chain vulnerability to the persecution of the Uighurs. They also discuss the unique polling approach of the Trafalgar surveys and what it will mean if Republican voters are even more reticent to say who they support but are more determined than ever to vote. And they sigh as Twitter promises ramped-up "fact-checking" that will ramp up before the midterms.

Great GOP Messaging, OPEC Rolls Biden, DeSantis Surging
Join Jim and Greg as they serve up two good martinis and one really bad one. First, they spotlight impressive Virginia GOP congressional candidate Hung Cao, his compelling life story and strong answers to divisive questions. They also grumble as OPEC announces production cuts of two billion barrels per day - the exact opposite of what President Biden asked it to do. And they welcome a new poll showing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis up double figures in his re-election bid. They also interpret the media's disinterest in the hurricane aftermath as proof that DeSantis and his administration have put together a strong response to the devastating storm.Please visit our great sponsors:Fast Growing Treeshttps://fastgrowingtrees.com/martiniSave 15% now through October 15th.

Herschel Walker Accused, Biden's Latest Whopper, North Korea's Tantrum
Join Jim and Greg as they sort through the allegations against Georgia GOP Senate nominee Herschel Walker from The Daily Beast and his own family - and what the impact will be on the campaign. They also roll their eyes as President Biden claims to have been raised politically in the Puerto Rican community. And they sigh over another emerging international hot spot, as North Korea fires a long-range ballistic missile that alarms Japan and appears to show the communist regime getting more competent with the technology.

GOP's Senate Momentum, Army's Dismal Recruiting, OPEC's Possible Price Hike
Jim is back! Join Jim and Greg as they welcome the Axios assessment that Republicans seem to have momentum in the battle for the U.S. Senate thanks to shifts in a couple key races. They're also concerned as the U.S. Army reports it fell 15,000 soldiers short of it's recruiting goal in Fiscal Year 2022. That's 25 percent below the target and the other branches posted disappointing numbers too. And they shudder as more and more signs point to gas prices rising again soon, including OPEC threatening significant production cuts.Jim and Greg also reflect back to the D.C. snipers, whose killing spree began 20 years ago today and claimed the lives of 10 innocent people in the area.Please visit our great sponsors:Moink Boxhttps://moinkbox.com/martiniKeep America farming and get FREE Filet Mignon in every order for a year.

Feminists Quiet on Iran, Diplomat for Plants & Animals, From Latinx to Latine
Rob Long is in for Jim, Join Rob and Greg as they discuss why American feminists don't have much to say about women in Iran risking their lives for freedom - and when they do it gets really weird. They also groan as President Biden names the wife of his chief of staff as a "diplomat for plants and animals." Lastly, they get a kick out of lefties finally realizing that "Latinx" is only hurting their efforts to win back Latino voters - only to come up with an equally absurd name and declare war on Spanish language articles and pronouns.

Fetterman's Crime Problem, Our Preventable Economic Mess, Failed Spin on Biden Gaffe
Riochet.com Editor-in-Chief Jon Gabriel is in for Jim today. Join Jon and Greg as they are pleased to see Dr. Oz and the GOP exposing John Fetterman's radical record of coddling violent criminals. They also shudder as the government confirms a recession as the negative economic growth in the second quarter of this year becomes official, and they nod glumly as former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers ties the inflation mess back to a spending binge that started 18 months ago. And they sigh as White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre says it is not at all odd that President Biden would ask if a deceased congresswoman was in the audience because she was "top of mind."

Lemon's Hurricane Flop, More Climate Hypocrisy, Biden Forgets Lawmaker Is Dead
Scot Bertram is in for Jim today. Join Scot and Greg as they enjoy watching the acting director of the National Hurricane Center reject Don Lemon's attempt to say climate change is responsible for Hurricane Ian's strength. They also get a kick out a radio host exposing the rank hypocrisy of a teenage climate celebrity simply by asking her about her recent travel. And they cringe as President Biden asks if GOP Congresswoman Jackie Walorski was at today's event. Walorski was killed in an accident back in August.

Nordstream Pipeline 'Leaks,' Hurricane Politics, A 'Conversation' on the Braves
Join Jim and Greg as they have a good time speculating about what caused the "leaks" in the Nordstream and Nordstream 2 pipelines and what it means for the war in Ukraine and for Europe's energy supply this winter. They also roll their eyes as Sen. Amy Klobuchar suggests passing the Inflation Reduction Act will stop hurricanes in the future and the media seems eager to paint Gov. Ron DeSantis as a failure no matter what happens with Hurricane Ian. Finally, they discuss White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre calling for a "conversation" about whether the Atlanta Braves ought to change their name.

Big GOP Edge in Competitive Districts, Economy Buckling, The Left & 'Fascism'
Join Jim and Greg as they eagerly welcome a poll showing Republicans with a 21-point advantage in competitive House districts. They also shudder as more signs emerge of a worsening economy from - from energy to housing to hiring. And they discuss the left and the media branding incoming Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni as a fascist. But since the left now tars anyone who disagrees with them as "fascist," the word has lost much of it's meaning.
