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 changed the outcome in any way but it was still irresponsible.Finally, just days after vowing to run in all 50 states and predicting a two-term presidency, Vivek Ramaswamy finishes in a distant fourth place and ends his campaign.Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.com/martiniCatch the deal of the day before it is gone!

Jim and guest host Chad Benson close out the week by asking if the state of Minnesota is really as safe for Joe Biden as Democrats insist, roll their eyes at the latest ridiculous juvenile behavior on Capitol Hill, and then contemplate the future options of the notorious dangerous outlaw, PGA champion Scottie Scheffler. Please visit our great sponsors:Fast Growing Treeshttps://fastgrowingtrees.com/martiniUse code Martini to save an additional 15% off on your first order. Lumen https://lumen.meTake the next step in improving your health.  Use code 3ML at checkout for $100 off.

Chad is still in for Greg, and he and Jim warn that Donald Trump may have agreed to a bad deal on the debate schedule, and marvel that a Democratic congressman is so worried about 1968-style violence outside the Democratic National Convention in Chicago that he wants the whole convention canceled.Please visit our great sponsors:Fast Growing Treeshttps://fastgrowingtrees.com/martiniUse code Martini to save an additional 15% off on your first order. Lumen https://lumen.meTake the next step in improving your health.  Use code 3ML at checkout for $100 off.

GOOD: Well, for what it's worth, Biden says he wants to do debates. I'll believe it when I see it.BAD: I'm a cheap date when it comes to any policy that aims to hurt the Chinese government, but these tariffs are window-dressing that are a favor to labor unions, not a real effort to hit China.CRAZY: So when Biden says twice in five days that inflation was 9 percent when he took office, is that a deliberate lie, a sign he doesn't remember being corrected, or evidence no one around him bothered to correct him?Please visit our great sponsors:Fast Growing Treeshttps://fastgrowingtrees.com/martiniUse code Martini to save an additional 15% off on your first order. Lumen https://lumen.meTake the next step in improving your health.  Use code 3ML at checkout for $100 off.

Chad Benson is in for Greg Corombos today; Chad and Jim note that the Biden and his campaign insist that all of the polls are wrong, and that's he actually ahead of Trump. Feeling good, Democrats? Meanwhile, an unnerving observation is that if Democrats keep control of the Senate after this year's elections, there won't be a Joe Manchin or a Kyrsten Sinema around to constrain them. Meanwhile, Jen Psaki's new autobiography includes an error so glaring that even Kristi Noem exclaimed, "Wow, you need to hire a proofreader."Please visit our great sponsors:Fast Growing Treeshttps://fastgrowingtrees.com/martiniUse code Martini to save an additional 15% off on your first order. Lumen https://lumen.meTake the next step in improving your health.  Use code 3ML at checkout for $100 off.

Biden's Overconfidence, High Senate Stakes, and Psaki's Falsehood

The mainstream media have never been friends of conservatives, but their approach to news - and political news in particular - is far different than it was just a few decades ago. But the media landscape is also very different than it was a generation ago. In today's special edition, Jim and Greg assess the good, the bad, and the crazy of today's media.Some conservatives may wonder what's good about the media. The simple answer is we have exponentially more options today to seek out and discover the news. Not that long ago, a few different news organizations dictated which stories you would hear about. That's not true anymore. Jim and Greg discuss the challenges that brings but also the opportunity for Americans to have a far more comprehensive idea of what is really happening.Then, they dive into the biggest problem in our political media - the glaring shift from a leftward bias to leftward partisanship. They explain the difference, how quickly that evolution happened, and why it's such a significant and damaging change to our news and our politics.Finally, they discuss an inevitable consequence of a never-ending news cycle - media burnout. With an avalanche of stories in our news feeds every day, many people are getting exhausted by it and simply don't pay attention anymore. Is that a good trend or will it lead to a more uninformed public?Please visit our great sponsors:Fast Growing Treeshttps://fastgrowingtrees.com/martiniUse code Martini to save an additional 15% off on your first order.
