3 Martini Lunch – Political Humor & Commentary

Join Jim and Greg as they examine the Ohio U.S. Senate race now that the GOP field has three prominent candidates fighting to take on three-term Democrat Sherrod Brown. Is Brown beatable now that Ohio is trending more to the right and what or who will it take to beat him? They also cringe at two polls showing far too many young people are willing to surrender critical constitutional freedoms. According to the data, 44 percent of of American voters aged 25-34 think "misgendering" someone should be a criminal offense. And three in ten voters under the age of 30 think there should be government surveillance camera in all of our homes to help reduce abuse and domestic violence. Finally, they react to former President Trump explaining his plan to end the Russia-Ukraine war within 24 hours.Timestamps:0:23 - Can the GOP defeat Sen. Brown in Ohio and is there a candidate who can do it?6:47 - New polls showing a plurality of millennial voters are fine with criminal penalties for "misgendering" people, and three in ten voters under age 30 are OK with government surveillance cameras in our homes.14:07 - President Trump's explanation of how he could end the Russia-Ukraine war in one day.Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.comUse code MARTINI to get 10% off your purchase.

Jim and Greg end the week with all crazy martinis. First, they look into allegations that China-related donations to the University of Pennsylvania soared immediately after Joe Biden established the Biden Center there following his time as vice president. They also don't buy the U.S. Secret Service concluding that it will never be able to determine who is responsible for the cocaine found at the White House. Finally, they dissect the decline in people visiting Disney theme parks this summer - and the explanation is actually pretty simple.Timestamps:0:27 - China-related donations to UPenn soared as soon as the Biden Center opened.5:50 - Secret Service says it cannot determine who left cocaine in the White House12:17 - Disney theme park attendance surprisingly low this summerPlease visit out great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.comUse code MARTINI to get 10% off your purchase.New episodes every weekday. 👉 Subscribe to the show so you never miss a moment.Follow us for more daily clips, updates, and commentary:FacebookInstagramYoutubeOther InfoWebsite

Join Jim and Greg as they detail why many people are getting more stressed about prices for essential items even though the overall inflation numbers are cooling. They highlight a piece from National Review's Noah Rothman explaining how "center store" inflation is still a big problem. They also wince at the news China successfully hacked the Commerce Department, including the emails of Sec. Gina Raimondo, and also parts of the State Department. Finally, they groan as Chicago's new far-left mayor wants to address crime by killing a gang database because of "racial disparities" and choosing to prioritize the infusion of social workers over actually enforcing laws.Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.comUse code MARTINI to get 10% off your purchase.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour Host Scot Bertram is in for Jim today. After a quick discussion of ethics concerns over the Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor's staff working to push her book sales, they applaud the independence of the American consumer for buying the vehicles that work best for them - and that means not many of them are buying electric vehicles for a lot of good reasons. They also shake their heads as the New York Times kills is printed sports section altogether and the Los Angeles Times will not longer have game stories, box scores, or standings - you know, the sports content that actually matters. Finally, they recoil as Democrats in California reject legislation to require stiffer penalties for trafficking children. The left is also trying to reduce interest in the anti-trafficking film "Sound of Freedom." But why?Timestamps:1:00 - Ethical concerns concerning Justice Sotomayor4:32 - Big stockpiles of electric vehicles as consumers reject them10:46 - New York Times & LA Times gut their sports sections16:47 - California Dems reject tougher penalties for child traffickingPlease visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.comUse code MARTINI to get 10% off your purchase.New episodes every weekday. 👉 Subscribe to the show so you never miss a moment.Follow us for more daily clips, updates, and commentary:FacebookInstagramYoutubeOther InfoWebsite

Greg is back! Join Jim and Greg as they discuss National Republican Senatorial Committee Chairman Steve Daines publicly endorsing his preferred candidates in Montana and Nevada in an effort to avoid missed opportunities like the GOP suffered in 2022. They also roll their eyes as Wired magazine denounces Ring doorbell cameras as being too easy to use to help police solve crimes. Finally, they raise their eyebrows as Politico rolls out fawning coverage of California Gov. Gavin Newsom - including stories on his inner circle and his leadership style.

Chad Benson from The Chad Benson Show fills in for Greg today as he joins Jim with good, bad, and crazy martinis.

They then react to the confusion regarding US policy towards Ukraine, pointing out some confusing decisions from the current administration and discuss more cohesive alternatives. Finally, they sigh at a recent Axios article that gives a criminally flattering portrayal of President Biden's reportedly short temper in private, and how it might be related to his increasing age.

They first discuss the "shadow campaigns" run by Democrats such as Gavin Newsom and the Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's possible 2028 run, and how the party has to play around Biden's run for re-election. They then react to the DOJ appealing a lower court's ban on the Biden administration's communication with social media companies to censor "objectionable" posts, with the case likely ending up in the Supreme Court.

As the United States marks 247 years of independence, it's time to celebrate what we love about this country. While many people in this country prefer to focus on what they think is wrong with the U.S. or contend that it has been flawed from the beginning, Jim and Greg take time to express some of the different things they love about being Americans. From the revolutionary ideas that led to our founding freedoms to understanding how much better we have it than other nations and from the beauty of our land to the variety of places we can live and visit, there is so much to appreciate about being an American.Timestamps:1:46 - Loving the variety we have in the U.S.4:28 - Loving our founding principles7:23 - Experiencing other countries makes you love America more11:39 - America as a beacon of hope brought our ancestors here14:45 - The people of the U.S. help to make us great18:42 - America is beautifulPlease visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.comUse code MARTINI to get 10% off your purchase.
