May 19, 2023 17:39 - 26 minutes - 24.4 MBJoin Jim and Greg as they break down three lousy martinis. First, they shake their heads as New York Gov.

May 15, 2023 16:28 - 26 minutes - 24.5 MBJoin Jim and Greg as they break down Joe Biden's Plan B for 2024. As Jim explains, Biden was not supposed to run again.

First, they welcome the public's accurate, "brutal" assessment of Biden's job performance in a new ABC News/Washington Post poll.

They also shudder as the Biden administration warms up to the absurd notion that China ...

May 02, 2023 17:56 - 21 minutes - 19.5 MBJoin Jim and Greg as they serve up three good martinis, but you may need to squint a bit to see them. First, they welcome the admission from the green energy industry that it is thoroughly dependent upon cheap Chinese products to make solar panels and that renewed tariffs on China would hurt the industry badly.

April 27, 2023 17:16 - 14 minutes - 13.2 MBIt's Chad Benson's last day sitting in for Greg, and he and Jim are pleasantly surprised that the House GOP held together on a debt ceiling bill, and there are some rumblings that Kevin McCarthy might be better at being speaker than anybody expected.

April 26, 2023 16:45 - 13 minutes - 12.4 MBIt's another good, bad, and crazy day, as Chad Benson sits in for Greg Corombos again. Chad and Jim Geraghty find it hilarious that the city of San Francisco concluded that after six years, their boycott of red states has had no impact whatsoever on those states, has significantly increased costs and red tape for the city, and repealed the boycott.

April 21, 2023 18:12 - 22 minutes - 20.4 MBJoin Jim and Greg as they once again offer bad and crazy martinis.
