    Hegseth Picked for Pentagon, CIA Arrest Over Israel Leak, California's Slow Vote Count

    Join Jim and Greg as they break down President-Elect Trump's nomination of Pete Hegseth for Secretary of Defense, a CIA officer charged with leaking Israel’s attack plans on Iran, and California’s protracted vote-counting process. First, they focus on Trump’s pick of Pete Hegseth, a decorated veteran who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, to lead the Department of Defense. Democrats, including Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, are outraged, pointing to Hegseth’s role as a Fox News host. The left is also not happy about Hegseth's determination to dismantle the Biden-era DEI approach to building and running the military. But Jim says barring any serious revelations, Hegseth should be confirmed. Next, they react to shocking news of a CIA officer charged with leaking highly classified intelligence regarding a potential Israeli strike on Iran. They discuss how this breach severely damages trust in American intelligence agencies and examine the ways individuals with access to top-secret information can become compromised, posing significant national security risks. Finally, they analyze an NBC News report on why California’s vote count is taking well over a week. Unlike states such as Florida and Texas, which count nearly all votes on election night, California faces substantial delays. And each part of the explanation for California's sluggishness just exposes what a terrible election system the state has.

    Trump's Strong Cabinet Picks, Sen. Casey Won't Accept Reality, Rep. Moulton's Trans-Gression

    Join Jim and Greg as they discuss President-Elect Trump's excellent early cabinet picks, Pennsylvania Sen. Bob Casey refusing to admit he lost, and a congressional Democrat excoriated by his own side for suggesting boys shouldn't be playing in girls' sports. First, they share their enthusiasm for almost all of Trump’s initial picks, highlighting Chief of Staff Susie Wiles and National Security Adviser Michael Waltz as strong choices. Other notable names like Tom Homan, Elise Stefanik, Lee Zeldin, and Marco Rubio should also reassure conservatives, though they raise concerns about Gov. Kristi Noem’s selection for Homeland Security. Next, Jim and Greg scrutinize Sen. Bob Casey, Jr.'s refusal to admit defeat to Republican challenger Dave McCormick, who leads by 35,000 votes. Casey’s stubbornness  has even delayed McCormick’s freshman orientation. Will Casey or the Democrats pay a price for refusing to accept election results? Finally, they react to progressives attacking Massachusetts Rep. Seth Moulton for saying his fellow Democrats aren't listening to voters on issues like transgender athletes. Moulton also said he didn't want his daughters getting run over by male athletes during competition. Will the left accept this reality check or just continue to demonize anyone who questions the woke agenda?

    DOJ Dropping Trump Cases, Judge Reinstates 9/11 Plea Deal, Shove Out Sotomayor for Kamala?

    Former Chief Assistant U.S. Attorney and National Review Contributing Editor Andy McCarthy is in for Jim. Today, Andy and Greg break down the Justice Department’s decision to end its cases against President-Elect Trump, a military judge's order to proceed with a controversial 9/11 plea deal, and progressive calls for dramatic moves to give Kamala Harris a new role in government.. First, Andy and Greg tackle the Justice Department’s choice to drop federal charges against Trump related to classified documents and January 6th. Andy notes that the DOJ could have paused the cases until Trump leaves office but suspects the charges were dismissed to shield upcoming plans from President Biden as he nears the end of his term. Next, they react to a military judge ordering the plea agreement between the government and the 9/11 conspirators to proceed. The deal removes the possibility of them getting the death penalty. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin tried to rescind the deal after a major public backlash. Andy believes Khalid Sheik Mohammed and the others clearly deserve to be executed, but he also explains why the plea agreement is probably a smart legal move. Finally, they sigh as Kamala Harris devotees publicly suggest outlandish ideas like replacing Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor with Harris or getting Biden to resign so Harris can be president for a couple of months. Andy explains why it should be up to Sotomayor when she ought to step down and Greg believes Biden has no desire whatsoever to take any drastic moves to benefit Harris.

    Why Trump Won, Why Harris Lost, Other Winners and Losers

    Join Jim and Greg for this special edition as they examine which factors helped propel Donald Trump's return to the presidency, why Kamala Harris ended up losing more decisively than most observers could have imagined, and which other figures ended up as big winners or losers based on the results Tuesday night. First, they examine Donald Trump's stunning political comeback and why Americans chose to return him to the White House with a far more convincing victory than he had eight years ago. And while volumes will be written about this, Jim and Greg suggest Trump simply talked about what voters cared about most and in a way that made them trust him more to tackle the big problems. Then, they go through a litany of issues that plagued the Harris campaign, from the way Dems shoved Joe Biden aside and nominated Harris without a primary to Kamala's flip-flopping and inability to answer questions to her very bad choice of Tim Walz as her running mate. Lastly, they consider who else comes out of this election season as big winners or losers. They aim a lot of their criticism at the shameless partisanship of the mainstream media, and the election results prove people no longer buy into their hysterical coverage. They also call out the elite Democrats like Barack Obama who orchestrated the ouster of Biden and spent the final weeks scolding people for not liking Harris enough. As for the winners, Greg points out another billionaire who had a very good Tuesday night and Jim gives credit to the man who might have reversed the momentum in favor of the Trump campaign.

    Trump Wins, Republicans Take the Senate, Media Meltdown

    Join Jim and Greg as they break down three major outcomes from Election Night 2024. Today, they discuss Donald Trump’s battleground state victories over Kamala Harris, the Republican takeover of the U.S. Senate, and the wildest reactions from leftist media voices. First, they marvel at Donald Trump’s clear win over Harris, with the possibility of sweeping all seven swing states. Jim and Greg review how the vote count shifted from initial uncertainty to clear Trump momentum, leading to a victory call much earlier than many people anticipated. Next, they cheer as Republicans pick up at least three U.S. Senate seats, taking control from Chuck Schumer and the Democrats. Greg and Jim analyze these pickups, discuss races that could still swing GOP, and review how Democrats fell short in their challenges to Republican incumbents. Finally, they spotlight some of the most extreme media reactions to Trump’s win, from outrage over the Electoral College and GOP success in Florida to leftist commentators blaming white women for Trump’s victory.

    Appreciating the Electoral College, Russia Targets U.S. Airliners, Kamala's Bacon Bit

    Join Jim and Greg for the Election Day edition of the 3 Martini Lunch! Today, they offer their predictions for today's vote while extolling the genius of the Electoral College. They also react to reports of Russia targeting U.S. airliners, and a Muslim influencer deciding not to run his interview of Kamala Harris after she kept going on about bacon. First, Jim and Greg share their predictions for the presidential race, as well as control of the House and Senate. They examine polling demographics that could benefit Trump. They also express their gratitude to the founders for creating the Electoral College and react to calls for it to be abolished or changed. Next, they react to a Wall Street Journal report alleging Russia’s involvement in attempts to target U.S. and Canadian airliners with incendiary devices. Jim highlights how this serious security threat, flagged in Germany and the UK, underscores the downsides of lengthy U.S. presidential campaigns that can overshadow pressing international issues. Finally, they unpack the amusing yet revealing story of a Muslim influencer who chose not to release his interview with Kamala Harris. He reportedly withheld the video after Harris avoided questions on Israel and Gaza and repeatedly discussed her views on bacon as a “spice.” Jim sees a potential plus for Harris in her focus on bacon but they also note the VP's eagerness to address frivolous matters and her reluctance to go deep on meaningful topics.

    Dems Fret Over Early Vote, Absentee Ballot Insanity, Kamala's Cop Out on Crime

    Join Jim and Greg for a pre-Election Day breakdown on 3 Martini Lunch! They dive into concerns among Democratic operatives over strong early voting turnout by registered Republicans, discuss troubling absentee ballot issues, and cover Kamala Harris evading a straightforward question about a California crime referendum. After a quick check-in on "Doris" and "Diane," Jim and Greg explore why Democrats are reportedly worried about high numbers of Republicans casting early votes. Are GOP voters spreading their ballots across more days, or is an Election Day surge still on the horizon?  Next, Jim shares a range of unsettling stories on absentee ballot problems, compiled for today's Morning Jolt. From far too many ballots arriving at residences to mail theft and thousands of people not getting the ballots they requested, Jim and Greg point out the potential for problems with mail-in voting and suggest that if we have to have early voting, it should replace most mail-in voting since it is far more secure.  Finally, they react as Kamala Harris sidesteps a direct question on how she voted on California’s referendum calling for tougher penalties for repeat theft and drug offenders.  Jim blasts Harris for suddenly going silent after presenting herself as a no-nonsense prosecutor for the entire campaign.
