Join Jim and Greg for three very revealing martinis today.

February 06, 2024 19:10 - 17 minutes - 15.8 MB

Join Jim and Greg as they dive into three big martinis today! First, they welcome Dartmouth's decision to once again use the SAT as a factor in admissions. Not only is it one of several valuable tools when considering an application, but Jim's reporting also shows that efforts to get rid of the SAT actually hurt minority applicants. Next, they groan as the U.S. military response of warning Iran when and where our airstrikes would happen obviously did nothing to correct Iran's antagonistic b...

February 05, 2024 18:39 - 23 minutes - 21.2 MB

Join Jim and Greg as they dissect horrible polling numbers for President Biden, an easy win for him in the South Carolina primary, and the absolute non-starter of a border security bill. First, they dig through an NBC poll showing Biden not only trailing Donald Trump but getting trounced by large margins on issues ranging from border security to the economy to crime to America's standing in the world. And the approval numbers for Vice President Kamala Harris are even worse than Biden's. The...

January 31, 2024 18:21 - 23 minutes - 21.3 MB

Join Jim and Greg as they dish up three big martinis today and update one from Tuesday. Before the first martini, they respond to unnamed Trump advisers suggesting a "holy war" against Taylor Swift if she publicly endorses Biden.

Then it's on to the good martini as the House Homeland Security Committee approves two articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Sec. Al...

January 30, 2024 17:41 - 27 minutes - 24.9 MB

First, they are pleasantly surprised to see a serious prosecution and sentencing for the IRS contractor who leaked President Trump tax returns to the media. Then, they're a bit puzzled as to why the Pentagon is so sure that Iran doesn't want war with ...

January 29, 2024 18:28 - 21 minutes - 19.6 MB

Join Jim and Greg as they kick off the week with three difficult martinis! First, they're furious over Iranian-backed militia forces targeting, killing, and wounding American troops in Jordan.

Then they cringe as White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre completely mangles a short message of condolences for the families of the American personnel killed in Jordan...

January 26, 2024 19:25 - 26 minutes - 24.4 MB

Former Chief Assistant U.S. Attorney and National Review Contributing Editor Andy McCarthy is in for Jim today, and he and Greg serve up three lousy martinis. First, they roll their eyes as the United Nations' irrelevant International Court of Justice orders Israel to stop committing acts of genocide in Gaza, must allow aid to flow in, and must not destroy evidence of alleged genocide.

There are no good martinis today but there are two very important bad ones and a crazy one too! First, they dive into Texas Gov.

Then they recoil at a ne...

January 24, 2024 17:05 - 18 minutes - 17.2 MB

The New Hampshire primaries are in the books and we've got two martinis reviewing the votes and one other truly crazy idea. First, they applaud Minnesota Rep. Dean Phillips for getting nearly 20 percent of the vote on the Democrats' side even though the primary was non-binding. They also appreciate him being only one of the few Democrats bothering to speak with Trump supporters and not writing them off as unredeemable like President Biden often does. Then they react to Donald Trump's double...

January 22, 2024 18:48 - 27 minutes - 25.3 MB

Join Jim and Greg as they start the week with three bad martinis, although the last one also contains a whole lot of crazy. The start with the inevitable but disappointing news that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is suspending his campaign.

They also fume as Ronald Reagan Washingto...

His negatives are sky high and some usually reliable Democrats say they plan to stay home. Then th...

January 16, 2024 17:27 - 21 minutes - 17.5 MB

Join Jim and Greg as they dissect Donald Trump's dominating win in the GOP Iowa Caucuses. It was a convincing blowout. Trump's margin of victory was considerably bigger than the vote totals for either Ron DeSantis or Nikki Haley. Is the fight for the Republican nomination already over or is there still a chance for a real fight? They also scold the media for completely jumping the gun and declaring Trump the winner in Iowa before all caucus attendees had a chance to vote. It would not have ...
