There's a legitimate objection ... and then there's the sort we often hear from performers.

Jim Gearhart can't help notice much of Hollywood is filled with people each eager to say something worse about President Donald Trump than the last. And he suspects they're not all genuine in their criticism.

New Gov. Phil Murphy sure is on a roll — if you're a liberal.

The very first laws he signed allocate additional funding for women’s health clinics — including Planned Parenthood — and expand Medicaid coverage for family planning services.

"What it boils down to, women's health — this is sending the word out that abortion is back in vogue in New Jersey," Jim Geahart says in the Jim Gearhart Show podcast.

As happens every time there's a mass shooting, people are up in arms — about arms. One side is determeined to tear away all gun rights ... and the other to hold into weapons at all costs.

But what does the Second Amendment really tell us about guns? And why are guns so sacrosanct to the people who love them?

Jim Gearhart has been tickled — and intrigued — by the rumors Oprah Winfrey could run for president. And why not?

"She is more intelligent and has more talent than anybody sitting on the Washington throne since Thomas Jefferson, or James Madison perhaps," Jim says in the Jim Gearhart Show podcast.

There are people who watch the Super Bowl for the action, and there are people who watch it for the commercials. Some people watch if for both.

Jim Gearhart enjoyed the action — with defense falling down on the job for both the Philadelphia Eagles and the New England Patriots — there sure was a lot to see. But when the commercials started, he was thrown.

Welcome to the west coast, New Jerseyans.

It feels a lot like Gov. Murphy's got two goals. One is to make marijuana legal. The other is to "make Goldman Sachs great again." Along the way, New Jersey could get every bit as ridiculous as California — where lawmakers might even jail you for passing out plastic straws!

The last few minutes of A Christmas Story, set in the 1940s, are as serene as can be. There's a certain gentleness to it.

"All of a sudden, bang, here are too women beating the bejesus out of each other in a ring," Jim says. When the movie ends and the commercials begin, 2017 offers an awfully rude awakening.

Why would you mess with perfection? Why would you possibly remake "A Christmas Story?" To Jim Gearhart, that's sacrilege.

Jim values a good tradition. So on this edition of The Jim Gearhart Podcast, he brings back one of his one of his own: Mouseballs!

Once again, an allegedly corrupt New Jersey politician is getting off scot-free ... at least for now. How do they always seem to do it? Well, Jim says, "politicians are remarkably ingenious people — smart enough to cover themselves."

They've got "plausible deniability" down to a science.
