First, they're glad to see a big bipartisan majority in the House of Representatives vote to declare the Iran-backed Houthis to be a "Foreign Terrorist Organization" again. If the Senate also passes it, Jim and Greg hope Biden will the sign the bill and not stubbornly stick to his decision to reverse President...

There are valid criticisms of Johnson's decisions, positions,...

April 15, 2024 18:13 - 26 minutes - 21.1 MBIran attacked Israel over the weekend, and Jim and Greg break down the good, bad, and crazy elements of this huge story. First, they reject the notion that this was a largely symbolic attack from Iran - supposedly because everyone knew Iran's weapons would not get past the missile defense capabilities in the region. But Jim points out that you don't send hundreds of missiles and hundreds of drones if your effort is symbolic. They also chafe at reports that Biden (through Turkish intermediari...
Fixing the Cost of College: Make Schools Back up Loans, GOP Needs a Plan, The Enrollment Cliff
April 12, 2024 18:30 - 27 minutes - 25.1 MBPresident Biden is once again touting his unconstitutional efforts to transfer the student loan debt from those who took out the loans to the taxpayers who did not.

First, they cheer Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for arguing that colleges and universities should back up the cost of student loans if their graduates are not abl...
The Lasting Impact of O.J. Simpson: How the Trial Still Impacts Media, Culture, Race & More
April 11, 2024 18:01 - 28 minutes - 22.4 MBOn Thursday, we learned that O.J. Simpson died after a battle with cancer. He was 76 years old. In the mid-1990's, his murder trial dominated news coverage and divided a nation. Today, Jim and Greg look back, but not as a trip down memory lane. Instead, it's about understanding why this was such a massive story and the impact that the O.J. saga still has on our nation today. Younger Americans may know him only as an accused murderer, if they remember him at all. If you're a bit older, you re...

April 10, 2024 18:05 - 25 minutes - 20.8 MBIt's four martinis for the price of three today and none of them are good. Join Jim and Greg as they start a busy day with the Arizona Supreme Court upholding an 1864 law limiting abortions only to medical emergencies for the mother. "Life of the mother" used to be a pretty standard position on abortion for Republicans, but the hypocritical reaction from most GOP figures yesterday was quite telling. They'd much prefer the talking point than the actual policy. They also groan as the monthly ...

Nebraska's Electoral Votes, Clinton's New Book & Jeffrey Epstein, Buttigieg's EV Gaslighting
April 04, 2024 16:31 - 23 minutes - 17.6 MBJoin Jim and Greg as they dive into discussion about Nebraska's electoral votes, Bill Clinton writing another autobiography, and Pete Buttigieg gaslighting America about EV's. First, they consider what seems likely to be an unsuccessful effort by Nebraska Republicans to switch the allotment of the state's electoral votes to a winner-take-all system, instead of awarding votes by who wins each congressional district. Jim says some consistency nationwide would be nice, while Greg laughs at all ...

Breaking Down Biden's State of the Union
March 08, 2024 19:49 - 27 minutes - 25.4 MBWe've had all good martinis and all crazy martinis this week. So it makes sense that Jim and Greg close the week with all bad martinis as they assess President Biden's State of the Union address and the Republican response. First, they note that Biden responded to criticism that he often comes off as low energy and mentally meandering by showing up angry, talking quickly, and turning the speech into more of a convention address than what the event is supposed to be. But Jim says if the Bide...

February 26, 2024 19:19 - 25 minutes - 20.5 MBThere are no good martinis to start the week but Jim and Greg are ready to dig into one horrifically bad martini and two crazy ones.

First, they welcome the decision from a New York appeals court that New York City's efforts to allow 800,000 non-citizens to vote in local elections is unconstitutional.

February 21, 2024 19:38 - 28 minutes - 22.8 MBJoin Jim and Greg for three compelling martinis focusing on major 2024 headaches for Joe Biden, with a bit of relevant pop culture thrown in. First, they're stunned by a new Siena College poll showing Donald Trump ahead of Joe Biden by nine points among Jewish voters in New York. Given Biden's 38-point win among Jewish voters four years ago, that would be a major shift in response to Biden's handling of the Hamas terrorist attacks, the ensuing war, and the rampant anti-Semitism expressed on ...

Even more serious, her lover paid for their lavish vacations on th...

February 14, 2024 18:49 - 23 minutes - 21.4 MBJoin Jim and Greg as they tackle two big stories involving the House of Representatives and an absurd idea from a California U.S. Senate candidate that would plunge us into economic disaster. First, they're pleased to see the Republicans muster just enough votes to impeach Homeland Security Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas. It would have been much better to get this done right the first time and Mayorkas will undoubtedly be acquitted in the Senate, but the impeachment is richly deserved and it gives ...

February 12, 2024 19:10 - 25 minutes - 20.1 MBJoin Jim and Greg as they share some thoughts on the Super Bowl and dive into two big political stories. First, they have generally positive reviews of the Super Bowl, other than the fact that the game seemed to last forever.

Then, they wince as Wisconsin Rep. Mike Gallagher surprisingly a...
Joe Biden's Damage Control Disaster
February 09, 2024 19:12 - 26 minutes - 24.1 MBJoin Jim and Greg as they break down many aspects of what may be one of the most damaging days to Joe Biden's presidency. First, they begin with the news that Special Counsel Robert Hur is recommending no charges against Biden despite his conclusion that Biden "willfully retained and disclosed classified material.” But Biden's day got much worse very fast when Hur said one of the reasons there would be no charges is because a jury would likely see Biden as "a sympathetic, well-meaning, elder...
