3 Martini Lunch - SoundSage

View Details

Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they focus on AOC trying to giggle away the left's repressive and woke lurch since 2020, Abdul El-Sayed refusing to disavow Hasan Piker and dismissing Piker's comment that the U.S. deserved 9/11, Wisconsin Democrats frantically trying to defeat Francesca Hong in tomorrow's primary, and the passing of Dukes of Hazzard actor-turned-Georgia Rep Ben Jones.

First, they fume as New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortes laughs and tries to chalk up the left's destructive demonization of police, white people, and anyone who didn't obey every jot and tittle of the Covid rules as some some crazy "Woke 1" phase the party went through. Jim says you can be sure the next level of wokeness will be far worse.

Next, they shake their heads as El-Sayed refuses to distance himself from Hasan Piker and labels Piker's contention that we deserved 9/11 as dumb or out of context. Jim and Greg also consider how much this issue will hurt Piker and why these comments are not the same as most other issues.

Then, they thoroughly enjoy the desperate attempt by Wisconsin Democrats to do whatever they can to stop Francesca Hong from being the party's nominee for governor. Jim suspects it won't work because the Dem electorate is more radical than even a few years ago. Greg says this is a problem of the Dems' own creation.

Finally, they note the passing of former Georgia Rep. Ben Jones, who is best known as Cooter Davenport on The Dukes of Hazzard. Jim and Greg remember his brief time in Congress, his rivalry with Newt Gingrich, and the greatness of The Dukes of Hazzard.

Welcome to Last Call, a look at the biggest stories Jim and Greg covered over the past week on the 3 Martini Lunch.

This week, they discuss Wisconsin Dems at each other's throats over the governor's primary, how radical Pete Buttigieg's presidential agenda would be, the University of Michigan refusing to issue grades to first semester freshmen, and a Senate committee holding Dr. Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress.

First, they focus on Wisconsin, where many Democrats are furious at outgoing Gov. Tony Evers for aggressively trying to manufacture his preferred outcome in the governor's primary. Meanwhile, online posts from 2019 and 2020 are emerging in which the socialist frontrunner, Francesca Hong, wanted to ban Thanksgiving and felt uncomfortable eating around "old white people."

Next, they recoil as Pete Buttigieg tells Politico about his plans for radical change and incremental change if he's elected president in 2028. Jim and Greg detail just how insane Buttigieg's agenda is but point out the media will still call him a moderate because he doesn't yell much.

Then, they roll their eyes as the University of Michigan College of Literature, Science, and the Arts says freshmen will not get letter grades their first semester in order to help "curb the mental health crisis." The policy, which is set to begin in Fall 2027, will apply to all students. Jim and Greg wonder how we got this fragile.

Finally, Sen. Rand Paul and the Senate Governmental Affairs and Oversight Committee voted Thursday to hold Dr. Fauci in contempt of Congress for refusing to answer questions last week. Jim says he understands why this is happening but doubts much will ultimately come from it in the courts. Greg wonders the same but still thinks it's the right move.

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down a disappointing July jobs report, the University of Michigan refusing to issue grades to first semester freshmen, the left's backwards approach to policing and prisons, and Mitch McConnell going home but not back to the U.S. Senate - at least not yet.

First, they wince as the July jobs report shows a loss of 23,000 positions and significant downward revisions for May and June. The economy is still in decent shape overall but job and GDP growth are clearly slowing. What are the solutions?

Next, they roll their eyes as the University of Michigan College of Literature, Science, and the Arts says freshmen will not get letter grades their first semester in order to help "curb the mental health crisis." The policy, which is set to begin in Fall 2027, will apply to all students. Jim and Greg wonder how we got this fragile.

Then, they react to Bernie Sanders wanting a much smaller prison population. Greg suggests the solution for that is for people to commit fewer crimes. Jim walks through arguments like "defund the police" and "abolish prisons," which socialists frequently embrace.

Finally, Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell says he is home but not yet ready to return to the U.S. Senate. Is he ever coming back?

Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch as they explore how Democrats nominating far-left candidates might help Republicans in November, deepening concerns about how low the U.S. missile arsenal is, one House Republican abandoning his re-election bid amid scandal while another digs in, and a Senate committee holding Dr. Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress.

First, they react to Democrats nominating far-left and even socialist candidates in states and congressional districts that are far more moderate or even lean to the right. They also get a kick out of some Dems trying to distance themselves from the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) after winning their primaries.

Next, they discuss a Washington Post report about the ongoing concerns about U.S. stockpiles of missile interceptors and other munitions, as well as reports concerning how President Trump and Sec. Pete Hegseth are dealing with this issue. The White House denies Post reports that heated conversations took place over this issue last weekend at Camp David.

Then, they're glad to see North Carolina GOP Rep. Chuck Edwards give up his re-election bid after the House Ethics Committee recommended he be censured for his conduct towards young female staffers. Meanwhile, Ohio Rep. Max Miller refuses to withdraw despite the abuse allegations against him, and he is now past the deadline to withdraw from the ballot.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they analyze the much closer-then-expected Michigan U.S. Senate primary win for socialist Abdul El-Sayed, how radical Pete Buttigieg's presidential agenda would be, Arizona's Democrat governor picking a Republican running mate, and California Gov. Gavin Newsom ranting about the end of democracy if Democrats don't win in November.

First, they react to the very close win for El-Sayed over Democratic Rep. Haley Stevens in Michigan. The polls predicted a blowout. The narrow win boosts the odds for GOP nominee Mike Rogers, who narrowly lost in 2024. But Greg warns that Republicans have to turn out in huge numbers for Rogers to win.

Next, they recoil as Pete Buttigieg tells Politico about his plans for radical change and incremental change if he's elected president in 2028. Jim and Greg detail just how insane Buttigieg's agenda is but point out the media will still call him a moderate because he doesn't yell much.

Then, they discuss Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs picking an anti-Trump Republican as her running mate. Jim explains why this is a sign of weakness for Hobbs. Jim and Greg also discuss whether Republicans will have an edge in border states like Texas and Arizona because people remember how bad illegal immigration was just a couple of years ago.

Finally, they tell Gov. Newsom to calm down after he claimed Republicans killed the Constitution and democracy will die if his party does not win in November.

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they consider the significant fallout if Abdul El-Sayed wins the Michigan U.S. Senate primary today, growing concerns that the number of U.S. missile interceptors are dwindling, Massachusetts Rep. Seth Moulton caving on trans issues to keep his Senate hopes alive, and James Carville's criticism of far-left streamer Hasan Piker.

First, Jim and Greg examine today's Michigan Democratic U.S. Senate primary, where DSA-backed Abdul El-Sayed is now expected to defeat Rep. Haley Stevens. They explain why an El-Sayed victory could improve Republican Mike Rogers' chances in November, while also exploring the major political consequences if El-Sayed ultimately wins the Senate seat.

Next, they discuss a new study warning that the U.S. supply of missile interceptors is shrinking and could take years to replenish. With Iran constantly shifting from diplomacy to missile strikes and back, how long can the U.S. stay on its current course?

Then, they slam Rep. Moulton for his groveling on trans issues. After the Republican wins in 2024, Moulton said he did not want his daughters getting run over by male or formerly male athletes. In last night's U.S. Senate debate, he apologized and promised always to be a staunch defender of trans activists. Jim says the Democrats have learned nothing.

Finally, they react to longtime Democratic strategist James Carville saying he cannot stay in the same party as Hasan Piker. While Piker is worse than Carville, Jim explains that Carville's threat isn't all that significant.

Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they dig into the multiple reasons we saw that alarming surge of migrants from Morocco into Spanish territory last week, the ugly family fight surrounding Ohio GOP Rep. Max Miller, Wisconsin Dems at each other's throats over the governor's primary, and very hopeful news for our friend, Jon Gabriel.

First, Jim takes us inside the multiple factors behind last week's surge of more than 60,000 illegal migrants into sovereign Spanish territory in North Africa. He explains how Spain's wrongheaded amnesty policies contributed to all of this but so did years of bad blood between neighboring nations.

Next, they wade into the family mess involving Ohio GOP Rep. Max Miller and his ex-wife, Emily. She is also the daughter of Ohio Republican Sen. Bernie Moreno. Jim and Greg review some of the accusations of abuse lodged against Miller, his online defense on Sunday, and Sen. Moreno's response. Whatever the truth is, Jim says Republicans in Ohio's 7th congressional district can do better, but they don't have much time to do it.

Then, they head back to Wisconsin, where many Democrats are furious at outgoing Gov. Tony Evers for aggressively trying to manufacture his preferred outcome in the governor's primary. Meanwhile, online posts from 2019 and 2020 are emerging in which the socialist frontrunner, Francesca Hong, wanted to ban Thanksgiving and felt uncomfortable eating around "old white people."

Finally, an encouraging update from our friend, Jon Gabriel.

Welcome to Last Call, a look at the biggest stories Jim and Greg covered over the past week on the 3 Martini Lunch.

This week they discuss the insane Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) agenda, Dr. Anthony Fauci invoking the Fifth Amendment to avoid questions about his handling of the Covid pandemic, NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani publishing the names and addresses of "rich" people he plans to tax, and the trans community getting furious over donuts.

First, they applaud Shannon Bream of the Fox News Channel for getting DSA Co-Chair Megan Romer to admit the group really wants to abolish the U.S. Senate, radically change the presidency and the U.S. Supreme Court, abolish ICE, abolish borders, abolish prisons, and more. Jim and Greg point out that some of those are mainstream positions for Democrats and others are not far away. They also welcome polling that shows socialism deeply unpopular with independents.

Next, they discuss Dr. Fauci refusing to testify before Sen. Rand Paul and the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, now that he's not covered by President Biden's pardon. Jim explains why this is a really bad look for Fauci and shows how the left is trying to defend Fauci in some ways while distancing itself in others. Greg notes the stunning lack of mainstream media interest in the Fauci diaries.

Then, they fume over Mayor Mamdani's decision to release a database listing the names and addresses of everyone his administration sees as eligible for his new "pied-à-terre" tax aimed at owners of second homes above a certain value in the city. Jim explains how reckless this is and why aggressive pushback is needed now.

Finally, they shake their heads as the Tim Horton's chain takes heat from what's now being called the 2SLGBTQ+ community because Tim Horton's plans to create Harry Potter-themed treats next month.

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they look at reports that Maine's new U.S. candidate has a family tree that doesn't fork much, Darline Graham's vague new campaign ad, the Democrats shoving Mandela Barnes out of the Wisconsin governor's race, and the start of NFL training camp.

First, they wince as new reports reveal the Maine Democrats' new U.S. Senate nominee is in a long-term relationship with his second cousin and they have two kids together. They also look at a new ad tying Jackson to disgraced former nominee Graham Platner.

Next, they examine Sen. Darline Graham's first campaign ad as she runs for a six-year term. While not a bad start, it's still far too vague on key issues like abortion and immigration. They also scratch their heads as the state party schedules a debate for a possible runoff but not the primary itself.

Then, they weigh in on former Wisconsin Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes dropping out of the Democratic primary for governor as reports about his behavior towards young women in the party were set to come out. So far, the allegations are vague. Is this another example of the Dems nixing another one of their own candidates this cycle?

Finally, Jim and Greg cleanse the palate by noting the start of NFL training camp.

Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch as they dive into reports that Iran and Russia are suffering from severe energy crises, the U.S. economy growing less than expected in the second quarter, 12-day sprint to the GOP South Carolina Senate primary, and the trans community getting furious over donuts.

First, they talk about reports that Iran is having to implement rolling blackouts, partly from 120-degree summer temperatures but also because some of it's electrical grid has been damaged in the war. They're also promising long lines at gas stations. Russia is also experiencing an energy crisis. But does this meaningfully weaken either of these regimes?

Next, they're disappointed to see lower than expected economic growth in the second quarter. The economy grew by 1.5 percent. It's still positive territory but the cost of gasoline and other essentials are dragging the number lower. What will the impact of this be in November?

Then, they dissect the 12-day, 12-candidate sprint for the Republican U.S. Senate primary in South Carolina. Both Jim and Greg think voters deserve much more detail on every issue from Sen. Darline Graham if she wants a six-year term. They also weigh on on the candidacies of Reps. Ralph Norman and Russell Fry and former Gov. Mark Sanford.

Finally, they shake their heads as the Tim Horton's chain takes heat from what's now being called the 2SLGBTQ+ community because Tim Horton's plans to create Harry Potter-themed treats next month.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they react to Dr. Anthony Fauci invoking the Fifth Amendment to avoid questions about his handling of the Covid pandemic, NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani publishing the names and addresses of "rich" people he plans to tax, Hawaii's Lt. Gov. getting indicted for Covid-related corruption, and whether Minnesota U.S. Senate candidate Angie Craig asked for an endorsement from a state lawmaker shortly after he was shot last year.

First, they discuss Dr. Fauci refusing to testify before Sen. Rand Paul and the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, now that he's not covered by President Biden's pardon. Jim explains why this is a really bad look for Fauci and shows how the left is trying to defend Fauci in some ways while distancing itself in others. Greg notes the stunning lack of mainstream media interest in the Fauci diaries.

Next, they fume over Mayor Mamdani's decision to release a database listing the names and addresses of everyone his administration sees as eligible for his new "pied-à-terre" tax aimed at owners of second homes above a certain value in the city. Jim explains how reckless this is and why aggressive pushback is needed now.

Then, they look at reports of Hawaii Democrat Lt. Gov. Sylvia Luke getting indicted for taking $35,000 in campaign contributions in exchange for steering COVID testing contracts while she was in the state legislature.

Finally, they consider allegations that Minnesota Rep. Angie Craig asked State Sen. John Hoffman for an endorsement in her campaign for U.S. Senate while he was still in the ICU after he and his wife were shot last year. Craig denies the accusations.

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they dive into Dr. Fauci's bizarre diary criticism of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis that DeSantis takes as a 'badge of honor.' They also consider GOP concerns about low voter enthusiasm in key states heading into the midterms, intensifying demands from Kentucky's governor for proof that Sen. Mitch McConnell can still do his job, and whether a "sore loser" law could cause more upheaval in the Maine U.S. Senate race.

First, they react to Anthony Fauci blasting Gov. DeSantis in August 2021 for blocking local mask mandates in schools. DeSantis was among the first governors to re-open their states in the spring of 2020, which also drew Fauci's ire. DeSantis was right both times and his victory lap is well-earned.

Next, they grimace as personnel from the right-leaning Americans for Prosperity Action (AFP Action) are reporting lackluster enthusiasm from reliable Republican voters in the Des Moines, Iowa, suburbs. They say the same is true in other battleground states. Inflation and the economy are the biggest reasons. Jim and Greg point out that there isn't much time to change their minds before Election Day.

Then, they report on the latest proof-of-life photo and written statement from Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell. There is still no timetable for his return to the U.S. Senate. Meanwhile, Kentucky Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear says McConnell needs to offer a lot more proof of his ability to do the job or resign. Jim and Greg also explain how the calendar plays a big role in this standoff.

Finally, they get a kick out of an effort to toss the new Maine Democratic Senate candidate off the ballot over "sore loser" laws. Troy Jackson lost the Democrat primary for governor before the party chose him to replace Graham Platner. Jim and Greg explain the laws and why the challenge probably won't succeed.

Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they focus on the insane Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) agenda, another pause in the Iran war, the shocking revelations from Fauci's diary, and the Greeks scoring a military success in the Middle East.

Next, they wonder why President Trump allowed a pause in attacking Iran without getting Iran to agree to our terms first. Jim says there are two or three likely ways this war will end and none of them are ideal. They also discuss reports that U.S. Patriot missile supplies are dwindling.

Then, they shake their heads as Sen. Rand Paul releases the Fauci diaries from the COVID years, revealing Fauci knew as early as January of 2020 that the virus did not originate from a wet market. The diary entries also highlight Fauci's obsession with the slobbering media coverage he was getting and how he was playing politics all along.

Finally, they cheer the Greeks for shooting down an attempted Houthi missile strike against targets in Saudi Arabia.

Welcome to Last Call, a look at the biggest stories Jim and Greg covered over the past week on the 3 Martini Lunch.

This week they discuss New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani admitting he has no power to arrest Benjamin Netanyahu, the left's attempt to make socialism appealing by lying about what it really is, socialist Twitch streamer Hasan Piker's love and admiration for Mao Zedong, and Daniel Ortega scrapping elections in Nicaragua for good.

First, they get a kick out of Mayor Mamdani trying to issue a tough denunciation of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Betanyahu while feebly admitting what we've always known: He has no power to arrest Netanyahu. Jim wonders if the left enjoys dreaming of things like arresting Netanyahu when they have to know it's never going to happen.

Next, they shake their heads as a socialist activist in New York City tells podcaster Nate Friedman that socialism is just about community and getting to know people by watching sports and having coffee together. Jim and Greg discuss how ridiculous this message is but how the right needs to be ready to confront it.

Then, Jim and Greg react to a clip of Hasan Piker calling the Chinese communist dictator Mao Zedong "one of the great leaders of this world" and "a man who changed the entire universe," insisting he never has and never will criticize him. Jim and Greg remind us that Mao's Great Leap Forward starved tens of millions of his own people to death in what's considered the deadliest famine in history.

Finally, they cover Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega abolishing elections, effectively extending his term indefinitely and closing off any path for the opposition to take over. Jim and Greg note the 80-year-old has been around for decades. The Reagan administration famously supported the Contra freedom fighters against Ortega's Sandinista government in the 1980s.

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch. Today, they sift through the wild Democratic primary for governor in Wisconsin, Islamist attacks in New York City described as mental health issues, USA Today's bonkers column tying defenders of the WNBA's Caitlin Clark to lynch mobs in the 1960s, and the government failing to track hundreds of billions in grants to the states.

First, they dig into the dysfunctional Democratic primary for governor in the Badger State. The frontrunner is an avowed Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) candidate. The governor's preferred candidate had to drop out because her own staff cooked the books and the campaign ran out of money. And the other candidates are a mess too. Jim and Greg pop the popcorn.

Next, they sigh as two obvious Islamist extremist stabbings in New York City get described as possible hate crimes but also possible mental health issues. They also wince while remembering that Mamdani will play a prominent role in the 25th anniversary observances of 9/11 terrorist attacks in just a few weeks.

Then, they rip USA Today sports columnist and relentless woke warrior Nancy Armour for denouncing defenders of Caitlin Clark as white nationalists and comparing them to the lynch mob that killed Emmett Till in 1955. Jim and Greg discuss the insanity of that analogy. Jim also details how the WNBA is thoroughly committed to financial failure.

Finally, they groan as a new watchdog report shows that we cannot trace the final destination of nearly 75 percent of $958.6 billion in state grants.

Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss a Democratic identity politics clash over the 2028 primary calendar, why Michele Tafoya is way ahead in Minnesota's GOP Senate primary, New Jersey registering noncitizens to vote, and an Arizona House race with a New York Jets twist.

First, Jim and Greg watch identity politics turn inward as South Carolina and Nevada battle over the 2028 Democratic primary schedule. South Carolina Democratic chair Christale Spain warned that elevating Nevada tells Black voters they matter less than "brown voters." Greg notes identity politics always eats its own.

Next, they cover good news in Minnesota, where friend of the show Michele Tafoya leads the Republican U.S. Senate primary with 41 percent. Jim and Greg praise her polished delivery and anti-fraud campaign ad, though they worry Mike Lindell's lead in the governor's primary could weigh down the ticket.

Then, they dig into New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill admitting a Motor Vehicle Commission software error registered 6,600 noncitizens to vote and allowed roughly 400 illegal votes. Jim questions why officials hid the two-year-old glitch, while Greg argues voter registration should not be a casual DMV add-on.

Finally, they highlight an Arizona toss-up congressional race featuring a New York Jets connection. Former NFL kicker Jay Feely won the GOP primary in the 1st Congressional District and will likely face Democrat Amish Shah, the team's former doctor. Jim and Greg note the winner could help determine control of the U.S. House.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they focus on New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani admitting he has no power to arrest Benjamin Netanyahu, two far-left Dems getting confused over which Jewish Democrat named Josh they were attacking, Texas Rep. Brandon Gill exposing the absurdity of policies at the Smithsonian, and the Trump administration refusing to help the Tate brothers as they face more serious charges.

Next, they roll their eyes as "Squad" member and Pennsylvania Rep. Summer Lee confuses Democrat New Jersey Rep. Josh Gottheimer with her own governor, Josh Shapiro, in trying to attack Gottheimer because he's critical of the socialist movement trying to take over the party. Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar tried to help Rep. Lee but only ended up adding to their humiliation.

Then, they pop the popcorn and enjoy watching Texas Rep. Brandon Gill slice and dice another woke witness in front of Congress. This time National Museum of American History Director Anthea Hartig was forced to answer for the Smithsonian's description/stereotype of white culture, which is indefensibly racist towards non-whites.

Finally, they applaud President Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio for refusing to help the despicable Tate brothers fight extradition to the United Kingdom.

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss Twitch streamer Hasan Piker's love and admiration for Mao Zedong, New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani's threat to have Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrested, the U.S. Treasury stopping nearly $100 million in payments bound for dead people, and Daniel Ortega scrapping elections in Nicaragua for good.

First, Jim and Greg react to a clip of Hasan Piker calling the Chinese communist dictator Mao Zedong "one of the great leaders of this world" and "a man who changed the entire universe," insisting he never has and never will criticize him. Jim and Greg remind us that Mao's Great Leap Forward starved tens of millions of his own people to death in what's considered the deadliest famine in history.

Next, they dig into Mamdani saying on a New York Times podcast that Prime Minister Netanyahu "belongs in The Hague" and wanting to arrest Netanyahu if he visits the city for September's U.N. General Assembly. Jim says the mayor has no legal authority to do so, and President Trump has already said that Netanyahu will not be taken into custody on American soil.

Then, Jim and Greg welcome some good news as the Treasury stopped nearly $100 million in payments to deceased recipients, more than triple what was caught before Trump returned to office. The Treasury says its new verification system could stop up to $350 million in fraudulent payments before the year is out. Jim and Greg agree that while this may be a drop in the bucket compared to the national debt, any improvements should be celebrated.

Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they dissect the left's attempt to make socialism appealing by lying about what it really is, Democrats in Maine picking Graham Platner's replacement in the U.S. Senate race, President Trump urging Lindsey Graham's sister to run for a full term, and Vice President Vance and his wife welcoming their fourth child.

First, they shake their heads as a socialist activist in New York City tells podcaster Nate Friedman that socialism is just about community and getting to know people by watching sports and having coffee together. Jim and Greg discuss how ridiculous this message is but how the right needs to be ready to confront it.

Next, they react to Democrats in Maine rallying around Troy Jackson as their new U.S. Senate nominee. Jim and Greg explain how Jackson's ties to Graham Platner could be a problem and how Democrats there are facing tougher and tougher odds in a must-win race.

Then, they push back on President Trump publicly urging Sen. Darline Graham Nordone to run for a full six-year term in the U.S. Senate. With all due respect to the new senator, Jim and Greg offer multiple reasons why they think this is a bad idea.

Finally, they offer congratulations to Vice President JD Vance and his wife, Usha, for the healthy arrival of their new baby boy.

Welcome to Last Call, a look at the biggest stories Jim and Greg covered over the past week on the 3 Martini Lunch.

This week they discuss the passing of South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, Secretary of State Marco Rubio's brutal takedown of Marxist and far left political movements, California Rep. Ro Khanna’s dramatic “detention” by the IDF in the West Bank, and whether Daylight Saving Time should be made permanent.

Next, they applaud Sec. Rubio's excellent speech contrasting the ugly, brutal, unimaginative reality of Marxism vs. the beauty, goodness, and ingenuity of free societies. Jim and Greg also welcomre this very clear denunciation of where the Democratic Party appears to be heading.

Then, Jim and Greg turn to Rep. Ro Khanna’s trip to the West Bank. Khanna claims he was detained by the IDF during a confrontation with local settlers. Jim and Greg explain why Khanna’s account is exaggerated and how this was an obvious political stunt.

Finally, they close with a highly skeptical look at a House-passed bill to make Daylight Saving Time permanent. Jim and Greg dismiss the change as a bad idea that’s already a proven failure. They also see it as a desperate stunt by an unpopular Congress trying to look busy.

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they dig into Secretary of State Marco Rubio's brutal takedown of Marxist and far left political movements, President Trump's speech on Chinese efforts to influence and meddle in our elections, the dumpster fire of a Senate debate among Maine Democrats, and revelations about Eric Swalwell's buddy, Arizona Sen. Ruben Gallego.

First, they applaud Sec. Rubio's excellent speech contrasting the ugly, brutal, unimaginative reality of Marxism vs. the beauty, goodness, and ingenuity of free societies. Jim and Greg also welcomre this very clear denunciation of where the Democratic Party appears to be heading.

Next, they tackle President Trump's speech detailing partially declassified intelligence on China's efforts to interfere in the 2020 elections, the U.S. intelligence community keeping this evidence from Trump and the public, how our election systems are vulnerable to mischief and more. Jim explains why he was deepy frustrated by the speech and why the documents don't seem to deliver what Trump suggested.

Then, they get a kick out of the awful Democratic U.S. Senate debate in Maine Thursday night. The New York Times said the prominent candidates struggled mightily, and the gadfly candidates were even more bizarre. Jim and Greg go over some of their favorite moments.

Finally, they react to a New York Post report on the sexual relationships Sen. Ruben Gallego had with staffers from other offices. Already reeling from his close connections to disgraced former California Rep. Eric Swalwell, this is more bad news for Gallego, who is pretty clear about his ambitions to run for president.

Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss a new Michigan poll exposing a stark demographic divide in the progressive movement, more and more House Democrats to block security assistance to Israel, a partisan double standard from Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, and whether Daylight Saving Time should be made permanent.

First, Jim and Greg dive into a Michigan U.S. Senate primary poll showing far-left candidate Abdul El-Sayed dominating among college-educated whites while Rep. Haley Stevens leads with Black and working-class voters. They analyze the irony of a socialist movement failing to win over the actual working class, noting that far-left progressivism remains largely confined to college campus bubbles.

Next, they react to a House vote where half of Democrats joined GOP Rep. Thomas Massie in trying to block more than $3 billion in security aid to Israel. Jim and Greg argue that abandoning a key ally undermines American foreign policy, with Jim warning that congressional hostility has crossed from anti-Zionism into outright antisemitism.

Then, Jim and Greg call out Rhode Island Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse for suggesting that domestic abuse allegations should be treated with skepticism if the victim is a Republican. He’s also dead wrong in his efforts to dismiss the conservative accuser of Graham Platner. Jim and Greg blast the remarks as a grotesque new low for partisan tribalism.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss the recent testimonies of U.S. Supreme Court justices over threats they face, Maine Democrats racing to find a replacement nominee for Graham Platner, DEI policy’s reverse discrimination effects, and a new congressional bill requiring lawmakers to disclose extended absences to the public.

First, Jim and Greg react to SCOTUS Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Elena Kagan testifying in Congress and raising concerns over their security. Barrett had to wear a bulletproof vest after the decision to reverse Roe v. Wade was leaked and her family was targeted in a swatting attempt. Jim argues that conservative justices are particularly targeted in acts carried out by radicals on the left.

Next, they cover the scramble by Maine Democrats to find a Senate nominee to run against Sen. Susan Collins. On July 25, 601 Democrats will vote for potential candidates. And the whole process must be over a week from Saturday. Jim and Greg explain how this process is pathetic.

Then, Jim and Greg blast the obvious discrimination effects from DEI policy, affecting whites and Asian Americans, as well as blacks and Hispanics. They point to yesterday’s testimony from Inez Stepman of Independent Women (and a frequent 3 Martini Lunch guest host, who said we should “judge by merit, not by immutable characteristics.”

Finally, they address New York Rep. Ritchie Torres’s proposed Duty of Transparency Act, which would mandate Congress members “to give constituents timely notice of an extended absence from voting.” In light of prolonged absences for members of Congress who failed to adequately disclose reasons for their absences, Jim and Greg say this bill is headed in the right direction.

Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss Hunter Biden’s media appearance with Nick Fuentes, the latest inflation rate and its effect on the midterm elections, President Trump’s planned Thursday speech regarding foreign government interference in the 2020 election, and the appointment of Sen. Lindsey Graham’s sister to his U.S. Senate seat.

First, Jim and Greg react to Hunter Biden appearing with Nick Fuentes on YouTuber Andrew Callaghan’s Channel 5 show. They slam the toxicity of both Fuentes and Biden and criticize media attempts to frame Hunter as making a comeback.

Next, they respond to the Consumer Price Index report of annual inflation slowing to 3.5 percent in June, which is lower than expected, but still too high for consumers. They consider how Republicans should address affordability, emphasizing that poor perceptions of the economy can translate into negative election results for the GOP.

Then, Jim and Greg cover reports that President Trump plans a prime-time address on Thursday allegedly touching on foreign meddling in the 2020 election. Jim explains why he believes the president would be better served emphasizing issues that more directly impacting Americans today.

Finally, they question the process for selecting interim U.S. senators following the appointment of Lindsey Graham’s sister, Darlene Graham Nordone, to fill her brother’s seat. Jim dislikes governors chosing family members for the role, but he says it's unlikely Nordone will depart from her brother’s voting behavior.

Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss the passing of South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, a new "proof-of-life" photo of Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell that has failed to quiet online skepticism, California Rep. Ro Khanna’s dramatic “detention” by the IDF in the West Bank, and an encouraging update on former Nebraska Sen. Ben Sasse’s ongoing battle with cancer.

First, Jim and Greg recoil at the shocking death of Sen. Graham, who passed away suddenly over the weekend at age 71. They reflect on his lasting legacy in foreign policy, as a champion for pro-life legislation, and as a public servant who commanded genuine bipartisan respect. South Carolina's governor will appoint a temporary placeholder until a special primary election takes place in August.

Next, they react to an official photograph and statement released by Mitch McConnell’s office following his four-week hospitalization. He reportedly fell in his home and was briefly unconscious before catching a mild case of pneumonia. Despite the picture of him with a newspaper, conspiracies and suspicion still run rampant online.

Finally, they close with an update on former Sen. Ben Sasse’s ongoing battle with terminal pancreatic cancer. Jim and Greg praise his immense courage and resilience as he continues to defy his initial prognosis.

Welcome to Last Call, a look at the biggest stories Jim and Greg covered over the past week on the 3 Martini Lunch.

This week they discuss the many Candace Owens conspiracy theories proven wrong in this week's hearings in the Charlie Kirk murder case, the end of the memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the U.S. and Iran, a new Federal Reserve study linking rising housing costs to Biden-era mass immigration, and the Mitch McConnell mystery.

First, they walk through the mountain of evidence revealed in the preliminary hearings for the case against Tyler Robinson, who is accused of murdering Charlie Kirk last year in Utah. They walk through the the facts and how they blow up so many conspiratorial narratives put forth by Candace Owens and others. But they doubt the conspiracies will stop.

Next, they react to President Trump’s deep frustrations with Iran. Speaking from the NATO summit, Trump declared the memorandum of understanding "over," calling the Iranian regime "scum" and "sick people" who cannot be trusted. This follows a major escalation last night, when the U.S. and Iran traded heavy missile strikes.

Then, Jim and Greg dive into a new Federal Reserve working paper that links the Biden-era immigration wave to skyrocketing housing costs. The study reveals that the massive surge in housing demand, without a matching increase in supply, drove up home prices by 30 percent and rent by 20 percent.

Finally, they cover a major update on Mitch McConnell’s weeks-long hospitalization. While top Republican senators claim to have spoken with McConnell over the phone to confirm he is alert, the strict secrecy surrounding his condition has left many deeply skeptical.

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they walk through the many Candace Owens conspiracy theories proven wrong in this week's hearings in the Charlie Kirk murder case, a surprising new poll of American Jewsish voters, a Wisconsin candidate using the Green Bay Packers as an example of socialism, and Apache helicopter pilots cleared after a controversial flyover last week.

Next, they react to an AP poll of Jewish Americans that shows they approve of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani much more than Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Jim explains why this is not a huge surprise to him but how it's also a disturbing result.

Then, they laugh as a socialist running for governor in Wisconsin uses the Green Bay Packers as a positive example of socialism. Jim and Greg explain why the far left is using rhetoric like this and why the the Packers analogy is ridiculous.

Finally, they react to eight South Carolina Air National Guard Apache pilots getting suspended for their conduct during a beach flyover but having those suspensions lifted by Sec. Pete Hegseth.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager Scot Bertram is in for Jim for Thursday's 3 Martini Lunch. Today, Scot and Greg discuss Graham Platner exiting the Maine Senate race, the media's horrific performance on the Platner story, Bernie Sanders' other radical Senate hopeful in Michigan, and a pointless political controversy over coffee.

First, they react to Platner's egotistical explanation for why he's being forced out of the Maine U.S. Senate race- it's the political establishment rather than his own mountain of scandals. Scot explains why he's suprised Platner withdrew so quickly, and they also discuss what impact a different Democrat will have on the race against GOP Sen. Susan Collins.

Next, Scot and Greg skewer the media for their abysmal coverage of Platner. From the New York Times trying to discredit an earlier Platner accuser because she's a Republican to MSNOW admitting it only believes accusers who are Democrats to other lefties now pretending they were duped by Platner, it's been a total disgrace. And yet, they've likely learned nothing.

Then, they shift to the Democratic U.S. Senate primary in Michigan, where Bernie-Sanders backed Abdul El-Sayed appears to lead Rep. Haley Stevens. But El-Sayed is also on the defensive about his call to abolish ICE, blaming Israel for virtually every problem in America, and lying about his medical background. Will any of it matter when voters go to the polls next month?

Finally, they sigh as a Milwaukee coffee shop issues an apology for taking a photo with Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz on Wednesday.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss the fallout from Graham Platner’s latest scandal and his leverage over picking his replacement, the end of the memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the U.S. and Iran, a new Federal Reserve study linking rising housing costs to Biden-era mass immigration, and the most recent development in the Mitch McConnell health story.

First, Jim and Greg examine Graham Platner’s final days to formally withdraw from the Maine Senate race. Although Platner’s campaign is effectively over, he still holds the cards as there is no formal way for Democrats to force him to resign. Many speculate he is using this leverage to pick his replacement.

Radio host Craig Collins, host of The Craig Collins Show, fills in for Greg on the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch. Join Jim and Craig as they discuss the latest scandal engulfing Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner, the instability of the U.S.-Iran ceasefire, the secrecy surrounding Sen. Mitch McConnell’s ongoing hospitalization, and Team USA’s World Cup run coming to an end.

First, Jim and Craig examine the latest allegations against Graham Platner, which they argue have effectively ended his campaign. Platner's former girlfriend Jenny Racicot has publicly accused Platner of sexually assaulting her during a 2021 incident. In the wake of the accusation, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC), and Senate Majority PAC all withdrew their endorsements.

Next, they analyze rising tensions threatening the fragile U.S.-Iran ceasefire after reports that Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) launched missile strikes against two commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. Jim and Craig argue the attacks cast serious doubt on Iran's commitment to peace negotiations.

Then, Jim and Craig comment on the ongoing secrecy surrounding the hospitalization of Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell, who has remained hospitalized since June 14. They also examine the broader debate over aging political leaders remaining in office, noting that McConnell has served in the U.S. Senate since 1985.

Finally, they break down Team USA’s tough 4-1 loss to Belgium in the second round of World Cup knockouts last night. The match was surrounded by intense controversy after FIFA suddenly overturned a red-card suspension for American forward Folarin Balogun, following a phone call from President Trump to FIFA President Gianni Infantino requesting a review.

Radio host Craig Collins, who hosts The Craig Collins Show, fills in for Greg on the Monday 3 Martini Lunch. Join Jim and Craig as they discuss Team USA star Folarin Balogun’s return after his red card suspension was rescinded, the release of a Chinese Christian pastor from a Chinese prison, Michigan State Sen. Mallory McMorrow’s decision to drop out of the U.S. Senate race, and predictions for tonight’s USA-Belgium World Cup matchup.

First, Jim and Craig celebrate the return of top-scorer Folarin Balogun to Team USA’s second match in the World Cup knockout rounds today. Balogun received a controversial red card against Bosnia and Herzegovina on Wednesday, which required a one-match suspension. President Trump called FIFA president Gianni Infantino to review Balogun’s red card, sparking outrage from the Belgian team set to play Team USA tonight.

Next, they cover the release of Chinese pastor Ezra Jin after nine months in prison following Beijing’s crackdown on his unregistered house church, Zion Church. After President Trump personally raised Jin’s case with Xi Jinping during a May 2026 state visit, Jin was released and safely returned to the United States. The move is being viewed as an effort by Beijing to bank goodwill with Washington.

Then, Jim and Craig react to Michigan State Sen. Mallory McMorrow’s sudden decision to suspend her U.S. Senate campaign just weeks before the Michigan primary. Her unexpected exit leaves a clear matchup between establishment favorite Haley Stevens and progressive Abdul El-Sayed.

Finally, they give their predictions for tonight’s Team USA matchup against Belgium as the Americans look to advance in the World Cup knockout stage.

Welcome to a special edition of Last Call, which brings you the best of the week from the 3 Martini Lunch! However, as we mark 250 years today since the signing of the Declaration of Independence. In this edition, Jim and Greg will share their favorite depictions of the American Founding and our Founding Fathers .

First, they head to television, as Jim showcases the popular miniseries George Washington in the 1980's and Greg points to a specific episode from one of the most popular sitcoms of that decade, Family Ties.

Next, Jim recommends the HBO series focusing on a Founding Father who deserves more attention - John Adams. That series was based off a book by famed historian David McCullough. Greg highlights another McCullough book plus a two-volume set of novels that are good for any age.

Then, Jim dives into the popularity of the Broadway hit Hamilton, which tells the story of Alexander Hamilton and so many others from that era. Greg gives a shout out to the Mel Gibson movie, The Patriot.

Join Jim and Greg for a special Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss many different reasons why they love the American Founding and why we all ought to be grateful to be the heirs of that amazing era in history.

First, Jim is thankful for the incredible collection of intellect, wisdom, and courage of our founders. From Washington to Adams to Jefferson to Hamilton to Franklin and many others, he says America was blessed with the right leaders at exactly the right time. Greg focuses on the revolutionary ideas of that movement.

Next, Jim points to some of the flaws that have come out about our Founding Fathers over the past 250 years. But he explains how those flaws actually help him appreciate our founders more. Greg takes a similar line of thinking by noting that "all men are created equal" was not a reality at the time but Jefferson's words became rallying cry to bring change during the Civil War and the Civil Rights movement.

Then, Jim shows some love to the allies that helped us defeat the heavily-favored British Empire. And it wasn't just the French. Greg applauds one of the most critical moments of the founding era, thanks to George Washington.

Radio host Craig Collins, who hosts The Craig Collins Show, fills in for Greg on the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch. Join Jim and Craig as they discuss Team USA's historic World Cup win, a weak June jobs report, and the hypocrisy of the media deeming it unfair to call the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) communists while being quick to call those on the right fascists.

First, Jim and Craig celebrate the success of Team USA in the first elimination round of the World Cup, defeating Bosnia and Herzegovina 2-0 in the knockout round. They highlight the significance of this victory heading into the country’s 250th anniversary.

Next, Jim and Craig break down the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ June jobs report, where the unemployment rate ticked down to 4.2 percent but the U.S. added only 57,000 jobs against an expected 115,000. They point to the labor force shrinking by 720,000 people from May to June as a sign of a discouraged workforce.

Finally, Craig and Jim highlight that Republicans get called fascists like clockwork, while CNN's Kaitlan Collins rushes to argue it's unfair to call DSA communists. They mention New York Democratic congressional candidate Dalisa Avila Chevalier, who has called herself a communist and supports abolishing the police, as evidence the label holds up. Jim notes some DSA members openly say they want to seize the means of production.

Radio host Craig Collins, who hosts The Craig Collins Show, fills in for Greg on the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch. Join Jim and Craig as they discuss the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling on birthright citizenship, an NPR reporter’s erroneous reporting on Justice Samuel Alito’s retirement, and a New Jersey Congressman’s return to office after four months of leave, where he received treatment for depression.

First, Jim and Craig address the Supreme Court’s upholding of birthright citizenship and express their concerns with birth tourism. Given the Court’s interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment, Jim argues that any changes to birthright citizenship must come from lawmakers.

Next, they blast the major reporting failure by NPR reporter Nina Totenberg, who claimed Justice Alito was retiring, without sufficient confirmation. Totenberg claims to have misheard Chief Justice John Roberts mention retirements and jumped to the conclusion that he was referring to Justice Alito. NPR quickly retracted the reporting.

Finally, Jim and Craig react to Republican Thomas Kean Jr.’s return to Congress after taking a four-month sabbatical to deal with a depression diagnosis. Prior to speaking publicly about his departure, the Congressman had stated an undisclosed medical issue for the reason of his absence. Jim and Craig question whether Congress members with mental health diagnoses are apt to work in a career with immense scrutiny.

Join Jim and Greg for this special Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch. Today, they each focus on three stories that slipped through the cracks of media coverage and deserve a lot more attention, both at home and abroad.

First, Jim highlights just how dire the health of Social Security is, how big of a loss recipients are likely to suffer, and whether either party has any good ideas of how to deal with this. Greg hopes American voters are paying at least a little bit of attention to elections in Latin america, where in nation after nation, voters are giving socialists the boot. Will we learn the lessons they're trying to teach us.

Next, Jim updates the Russia-Ukraine war, including the ominous trend of Russian drones attacking Eastern European nations beyond Ukraine. Will the Trump administration address this issue? Meanwhile, Greg praises federal prosecutors for charging members of Antifa for plotting to impede ICE in Minneapolis. But he slams local prosecutors for not pursuing charges against the anti-ICE invaders of Cities Church.

Finally, Jim explains how Joe Biden's misguided promises of student loan debt forgiveness actually made life financially harder for those who took out the loans. Greg calls out the "independent" U.S. Senate candidates in Nebraska and Montana for fundraising through the left's Act Blue apparatus.

Join Jim and Greg for this special Monday 3 Martini Lunch, as they assess the state of the 2026 midterm elections, and give their current outlooks for which party has the advantage in winning control of the Senate, the House of Representatives, and key governor's races.

First, they look at the Senate. Republicans have a decent shot of holding their majority but it won't be easy. Jim and Greg point out the seat that Democrats will likely flip, the one Republicans might be able to flip, and the competitive races for several seats held by members of both parties.

Next, they assess the House of Representatives. With midterm momentum seemingly with the Democrats and the GOP holding a very slim majority, the left would seem to have the advantage. But the mationwide redistricting wars seem to favor Republicans. Still, even if Republicans succeed in winning most of these newly drawn districts, keeping the majority is an uphill climb.

Then, they examine several key governor's races, particularly in the traditional battleground states.

Welcome to Last Call, a look at the biggest stories Jim and Greg covered over the past week on the 3 Martini Lunch.

This week they discuss Texas U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico’s ridiculous comments on whiteness and masculinity, Tucker Carlson leaving the Republican Party, major wins for socialists in New York City congressional races, and a media narrative lamenting the impact of lower crime rates on local businesses.

First, they react to Talarico’s absurd statements in his latest podcast appearance. His streak of insane woke rhetoric continues as he says that his imagination is limited by his "whiteness and masculinity.” Jim and Greg wonder when the left’s obsession with identity will end.

Next, Jim and Greg react to Tucker Carlson's exit from the Republican Party. Despite speaking at the 2024 Republican National Convention, Carlson now says he regrets his support for Trump and he denounces the GOP for its "betrayal of the American people.” Jim comments on the erratic state of politics today and both wonder what Tucker’s next move might be.

Then, they wince as avowed Marxists win the Democratic nomination in three New York City congressional districts. They were all endorsed by socialist NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Is this additional proof that open socialists are taking over the Democratic Party or will their radicalism actually help Republicans in November?

Finally, they laugh at the media's attempt to frame falling crime rates as a negative development. Oakland, California has seen a significant reduction in car break-ins, but some reporting has focused on the impact that fewer repairs could have on auto glass businesses. Jim and Greg discuss how the coverage unintentionally falls for one of economics’ most basic fallacies.

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they dig into the U.S. Supreme Court once again protecting our Second Amendment, the left calling for a $25 per hour minimum wage, Democrats frustrated the World Cup has not been a disaster, and remembering respected pollster Glen Bolger.

First, they applaud the Supreme Court for striking down a Hawaii law that required residents to get permission from stores and other public places before they were allowed to carry guns there. Despite the 6-3 decision, Jim expects Democrats to push very similar legislation again, only to have it smacked down at the Supreme Court again.

Next, they groan as the left keeps pushing a much higher minimum wage as a solution to the rising cost of living, despite all evidence to the contrary. Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy is pushing a nationwide minimum wage of $25 per hour. Jim and Greg explain how this will only make things more expensive and result in more people losing their minimum wage jobs.

Then, they're disgusted by a Politico story explaining how many Democrats were hoping the World Cup would be a logistical disaster so they could blame President Trump. So far, it's going well, and Democrats aren't very happy about it. Who thinks like this?

Finally, they pay tribute to GOP pollster Glen Bolger, who passed away Thursday at the age of 63. Jim remembers Bolger as a very good pollster and an even better man.

Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss the anti-American sentiments of a socialist New York Democratic primary winner and whether she should be allowed to serve in Congress, James Talarico’s illogical comments on Christianity, Gavin Newsom’s strategy for the 2028 Democratic presidential race, and the latest controversy involving Diana Russini, former reporter for The Athletic.

First, Jim and Greg blast Mamdani-backed socialist New York congressional nominee Darializa Avila Chevalier, who supported the “total eradication of Western civilization” as a member of an anti-Israel group, Columbia University Apartheid Divest (CUAD). They also criticize Democrats for failing to condemn radicals on the left and question whether someone with views like Chevalier’s should even be able to serve in Congress.

Next, they groan over Texas Democrat Senate candidate James Talarico’s absurd comments on Christianity and his politicization of the religion. Talarico said he “always” thinks of himself “as a Christian who hates Christianity.” Jim and Greg also bring up previous statements of Talarico’s ridiculous beliefs on prison reform.

Then, Jim and Greg break down California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s plan to position himself as the frontrunner for the 2028 Democratic presidential nominee. Newson seems to be targeting Biden’s coalition, while avoiding the party’s socialist faction.

Finally, they react to the recently revealed $800,000 salary of former sports reporter Dianna Russini, who allegedly had a relationship with the head coach of the New England Patriots. Jim and Greg also scrutinize reporters’ boundaries with sources.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss major wins for socialists in New York City congressional races, a few encouraging results from Tuesday's primaries, a bad bipartisan Social Security proposal, and what to call Democrats who abandoned their principles to support Graham Platner.

First, they wince as avowed Marxists win the Democratic nomination in three New York City congressional districts. They were all endorsed by socialist NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Is this additional proof that open socialists are taking over the Democratic Party or will their radicalism actually help Republicans in November?

Next, they do find a few silver linings in Tuesday's primary results, including Jim's preferred candidate, Alan Wilson, winning the GOP nomination for governor in South Carolina and really bad losses by Jack Schlossberg and George Conway in another New York City congressional race.

Then, they shake their heads as Ohio Republican Sen. Bernie Moreno joins Massachusetts Democrat Elizabeth Warren in proposing the elimination of the Social Security tax cap. The goal is to shore up an entitlement that is sprinting toward bankruptcy, but Jim and Greg explain why this is the wrong approach and consider why Sen. Moreno would support this.

Finally, Greg unveils a new term for Democrats who cast aside their supposed principles to rally behind Graham Platner's U.S. Senate campaign. And naturally, Jim has a few Platner jokes ready to go as well.

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss NYC mayor Zohran Mamdani’s support for socialist candidates in the NY congressional primaries, Texas U.S. senate candidate James Talarico’s ridiculous comments on whiteness, the media’s ongoing infatuation with the Obama presidency and distortion of why the right opposed him, and the endless ads for today’s Maryland congressional primary.

First, Jim and Greg scrutinize Mamdani and the Democratic party’s continued push towards socialism. Mamdani has endorsed socialists in three Democratic congressional primaries being held today. Two of them are running against incumbent Democrats, signaling a shift further to the left within the party.

Next, they react to Talarico’s absurd statements in his latest podcast appearance. His streak of insane woke rhetoric continues as he says that his imagination is limited by his "whiteness and masculinity.” Jim and Greg wonder when the left’s obsession with identity will end.

Then, Jim and Greg comment on the revisionism surrounding Obama’s presidency and legacy. Former network journalists Chuck Todd and Chris Cillizza are trying to repaint Obama as a moderate rather than a leftist, and claiming the only reason the right opposed him was because of his race.

Finally, they express their annoyance with the non-stop campaign ads for billionaire Maryland Democratic congressional candidate David Trone. Many on the left continue to support him, in spite of their proclaimed hatred for the wealthy.

Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they address Vice President JD Vance's optimism about a permanent Iran deal and Jim's frustrations with the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), the resignation of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Tucker Carlson leaving the Republican Party, and a media narrative lamenting the impact of lower crime rates on local businesses.

First, Jim and Greg discuss Vice President JD Vance’s excitement over the ongoing peace talks with Iran in Switzerland. Jim explains why he’s not as bullish as Vance is and why he’s staunchly opposed to the recently signed Memorandum of Understanding. Jim also worries we have surrendered our three main sources of leverage over Iran.

Next, they examine the political turmoil in the UK following Keir Starmer's resignation as prime minister. He became the sixth prime minister to step down in the last 10 years. Jim argues that the government’s refusal to address real issues like immigration and crime will only lead to more public unrest.

Then, Jim and Greg react to Tucker Carlson's exit from the Republican Party. Despite speaking at the 2024 Republican National Convention, Carlson now says he regrets his support for Trump and he denounces the GOP for its "betrayal of the American people.” Jim comments on the erratic state of politics today and both wonder what Tucker’s next move might be.

Welcome to Last Call, a look at the biggest stories we covered over the past week on the 3 Martini Lunch. Jim Geraghty was on vacation, so we heard from very capable guest hosts, including Jim's National Review colleague, Charlie Cooke.

This week Charlie and Greg discuss three stories that suggest many on the left are losing their grip on reality, including Jim Acosta's absurd analysis of Trump’s name being removed from the John F. Kennedy Center, the left’s meltdown over Elon Musk becoming the world’s first trillionaire, a new poll highlighting the huge partisan divide over patriotism, and NBA Finals MVP Jalen Brunson wishing he still paid taxes in Texas.

First, they cover the left's obsession over the removal of President Trump’s name from the Kennedy Center. Former CNN anchor Jim Acosta compared it to the fall of the Berlin Wall and called it “a sign that humankind can stand up against tyranny.”

Next, they rip Democrats for their hysterical reaction following the SpaceX IPO, with the likes of Bernie Sanders and Ellizabeth Warren rushing to demand wealth taxes as soon as Musk crossed the trillion-dollar mark. Charlie condems the left's tendency towards punishing success and stifling ambition.

Then, they comment on a new NBC poll on American patriotism showing the stark difference in responses between Republicans and Democrats. Pride in America among Democrats seems to be largely dependent upon the occupant of the White House. As an immigrant who is now a U.S. citizen, Charlie explains how disgraceful that thinking is.

Finally, Charlie and Greg delight in a clip of NBA Finals MVP Jalen Brunson, who after delivering the New York Knicks their first championship in 53 years, admitted, “I miss the Texas taxes.” Texas does not tax personal income, while New York has one of the nation's highest tax burdens.

American Enterprise Institute Senior Fellow Christopher J. Scalia is in for Jim Geraghty on the Friday 3 Martini Lunch. Today, Chris and Greg dissect the Memorandum of Understanding with Iran, note the arrest of a "Dreamer" for the UFC terror plot just as Michelle Obama was extolling the Dreamer program, the deliciously bitter infighting among Virginia Democrats, and Mr. Scalia's latest book.

First, they dig into the memorandum of understanding with Iran and react to arguments opposing and supporting it. Chris and Greg share their concerns over the vagueness of the language on the nuclear matters, the money poised to flow into Iran, what's next in the Straits of Hormuz, and why this agreement or a more formal deal is unlikely to hold.

Next, they contrast Michelle Obama praising her husband's DACA or "Dreamer" program granting legal status to illegal immigrants who were brought here as minors with the news that a "Dreamer" was just arrested for allegedly leading a terrorist plot against the UFC event at the White House. Chris also shares his thoughts on the opening of the Obama Presidential Center.

Then, Chris and Greg pop the popcorn as top Democrats in Virginia are fighting with each other over several major issues and making it clear how much they don't like each other. But Chris warns there could be a major downside for conservatives from this dysfunction on the left.

Finally, Chris tells us about his latest book 13 Novels Conservatives Will Love (but Probably Haven’t Read) and how conservative ideas and characters are found in popular literature.

Real Clear Politics National Correspondent and Fool's Gold author Susan Crabtree is in for Jim Geraghty on the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch. Today, Susan and Greg discuss some of the concerns emerging from the tentative U.S. deal with Iran, the Justice Department investigation into California Gov. Gavin Newsom and his wife, just how crazy California's election laws are, and the emerging battle on the left over wealth taxes.

First, Susan draws on her extensive coverage of the Obama nuclear deal with Iran to explain what we should have learned from that experience. They also discuss some of the most important questions lingering after this Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). There will be much more analysis of the contents of the MOU on Friday's 3 Martini Lunch.

Next, they shift to the Justice Department's investigation into Gov. Newsom and "First Partner" Jennifer Siebel Newsom. Susan details some of the alleged financial irregularities connected with Siebel Newsom's non-profit organizations and how Gov. Newsom is trying to use this to his political advantage.

Then, after Californians and other Americans suffered through the embarrassing, protracted vote counting earlier this month, Susan explains how insane California election laws are compared to the rest of the country and how some extremely questionable election tactics are perfectly legal there.

Finally, they note how a proposed five percent wealth tax on billionaires will be on the California ballot in November. Gov. Newsom is opposed. Susan and Greg consider how this puts Newsom at odds with many others on the left who are aggressively pushing wealth taxes.

National Review Senior Editor Charles C.W. Cooke, who hosts the Charles C.W. Cooke Podcast, fills in for Jim on the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch. Join Charlie and Greg as they break down the FBI thwarting a terrorist attack aimed at the UFC-White House event, the ridiculous ranked choice voting system, Hillary Clinton’s revisionist comments on Biden’s 2024 re-election bid, and the opening of Barack Obama’s presidential library.

First, Charlie and Greg react to the alleged plot of a drone and sniper attack at the UFC America 250 event thwarted days in advance by the FBI. Five suspects have been arrested, and at least 23 Signal users are believed to have discussed the scheme on the encrypted app. Charlie emphasizes that drone technology is drastically changing security protocols.

Next, Charlie and Greg scrutinize the convoluted ranked choice voting system, illustrated by elections in Alaska and Washington, D.C. Charlie argues that election laws become problematic when average citizens struggle to understand how votes are counted and how winners ultimately emerge.

Then, they cover Hillary Clinton’s recent remarks saying President Joe Biden made a “terrible mistake” by running for re-election in 2024. Hillary is the latest Democrat trying to rewrite history after staunchly backing Biden.

Finally, Charlie and Greg poke fun at the hideous Obama Presidential Museum and look back at his real presidential legacy.

National Review Senior Editor Charles C.W. Cooke, who hosts the Charles C.W. Cooke Podcast, fills in for Jim on the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch. Join Charlie and Greg as they discuss Jim Acosta's absurd analysis of Trump’s name being removed from the John F. Kennedy Center, Virgina's attack on our Second Amendment rights, the UK’s new social media ban for children, and the elusive details of the U.S.-Iran peace deal.

Next, Charlie and Greg rip Virginia officials for arguing that its citizens do not possess an individual right to keep and bear arms, despite protections in both the U.S. Constitution and Virginia's constitution. The argument comes as part of the state's defense of sweeping new gun-control measures. Charlie also dismantles the claim that Second Amendment protections apply only to organized militia service.

Then, they slam the UK’s newest laws banning several social media sites for children under 16. The ban includes platforms like Snapchat, TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, and X. However far-left site Bluesky is conspicuously exempt. Charlie and Greg agree kids should not be on social media, but government control is not the solution.

Finally, Charlie and Greg express their dismay with the lack of details regarding the U.S.-Iran peace deal. Trump says the war is over and markets are rallying, but the specifics of the deal have still yet to be released.

Join Charlie and Greg as they react to the left’s meltdown over Elon Musk becoming the world’s first trillionaire, the media’s shock that World Cup tourists haven’t found the South to be an inhospitable wasteland, a new poll highlighting the partisan divide over patriotism, and NBA Finals MVP Jalen Brunson wishing he still paid taxes in Texas.

First, they rip Democrats for their hysterical reaction following the SpaceX IPO, with the likes of Bernie Sanders and Ellizabeth Warren rushing to demand wealth taxes as soon as Musk crossed the trillion-dollar mark. Charlie condems the left's tendency towards punishing success and stifling ambition.

Next, Charlie and Greg laugh at leftist media figures like USA Today's Christine Brennan being shocked that World Cup tourists were shown excellent hospitality in the American South. The perception of America as dangerous and unwelcoming is proving to be no more than a media lie.

Welcome to Last Call, a look at the biggest stories Jim and Greg covered over the past week on the 3 Martini Lunch.

This week they discuss Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico's reversal on transgender surgeries for minors, a congressional report showing Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz repeatedly failed or refused to stop rampant fraud, Social Security running dry by 2032, and the Congressional Baseball Game.

First, Jim and Greg examine the hypocrisy of James Talarico, who now suddenly opposes gender reassignment surgery for minors. In 2023, he argued against a bill that would ban “medical and surgical procedures” for minors with gender dysphoria. They also address recent reports that Talarico dated two of his staffers.

Next, they review a House Oversight Committee report that alleges Gov. Walz and his administration ignored repeated warnings from whistleblowers about massive fraud and, in some cases, retaliated against those who raised concerns.

Next, they cover the looming threat of the Social Security trust fund running dry by 2032. Despite a national debt of $39 trillion, cuts to entitlements remain deeply unpopular with voters, preventing any political solution. But soon politicians will not have a choice.

Finally, they highlight Wednesday’s Congressional Baseball Game, and how the media rarely mention the 2017 shooting at a GOP practice that nearly killed Rep. Steve Scalise.

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch! Today, they tackle President Trump saying a deal with Iran is imminent, the hyperbolic venting of longtime CBS reporters over the shakeup at 60 Minutes, foreigners being blown away in awe at the USA as they come for the World Cup, and Pete Buttigieg's weak argument for deciding presidential elections with a national popular vote.

First, they react to President Trump calling off intense airstrikes and an invasion of Kharg Island because a peace deal with Iran is imminent. Iran is also releasing it's version of the agreement, which almost assuredly does not resemble the actual negotiations. This is a ruse Tehran has tried before. But are we actually close to a deal?

Next, they laugh as longtime CBS reporter and 60 Minutes correspondent Lesley Stahl calls Bari Weiss' shakeup at the network "by far the worst experience I’ve been involved in, or even witnessed." Citing a Washington Free Beacon story, Jim and Greg remind Stahl of some of the far more troubling stories she has done and how dramatic the legacy media get over changes they don't like.

Then, they relish the stories of foreigners coming to the U.S. for the World Cup and gushing about how much they love the country, our people, and what we have to offer. It's a good reminder of how good we have it when others see it for the first time.

Finally, they pick apart Pete Buttigieg's argument for scrapping the Electoral College for a national popular vote for president. Buttigieg says it would make every state matter. Jim and Greg explain why the Electoral College makes far more sense - including reasons we just witnessed this month.

Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss Cuba's alleged drone threat to the U.S., Trump's response to the latest inflation numbers and the quote Democrats will hammer him with, the passing of the $70 billion ICE funding bill, and the Congressional Baseball Game.

First, Jim and Greg react to recent intelligence reports of Cuba acquiring over 300 drones from Russia and Iran, posing a risk to U.S. sites. Jim questions whether the U.S. should tackle another regime change abroad.

Next, they address President Trump’s “I love inflation” response to reporters after the 4.2 percent inflation rate was released. Ahead of midterm elections in November, Democrats are hoping to capitalize on Trump’s comment. But Jim stresses that inflation will only get worse if Democrats control Congress.

Then, they break down the recent $70 billion Secure America Act signed Wednesday by President Trump after months of resistance from Democrats. Jim and Greg point out Republicans only have a few more months before midterms until the next fight for funding.

Finally, they highlight Wednesday’s Congressional Baseball Game, and how the media rarely mention the 2017 shooting at a GOP practice that nearly killed Rep. Steve Scalise.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they review House Republicans ripping the Southern Poverty Law Center’s (SPLC) partisan selection of hate groups, Social Security running dry by 2032, several recent developments in the Iran war, and the latest midterm election primary results.

First, Jim and Greg blast the SPLC for labeling TPUSA a hate group while its list of 1,500 "hate groups" did not include a single Islamist organization. Combined with ongoing allegations of financing the very groups they claim to oppose, Jim says the SPLC has lost all credibility.

Then, Jim and Greg recap several developments in the Iran war, including Iranian missile strikes, the downing of an American attack helicopter, and the shifting realities of war. Jim also offers his take on the proliferation of drones in modern militaries.

Finally, they recap the recent primary election results in South Carolina, Maine, and California.

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico's reversal on transgender surgeries for minors, growing U.S.-Israel tensions amid negotiations with Iran, the baffling logic of some of Graham Platner's defenders, and tonight's South Carolina governor's race.

Next, they review rising tensions between the President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Trump confirmed frustration over Israel’s strikes against Hezbollah in Lebanon. Trump's concern is that Israel’s retaliation could derail negotiations between the U.S. and Iran.

Then, Jim and Greg break down the puzzling logic of a Graham Platner supporter who claims she would no longer vote for him if he had a tattoo of the Israeli flag. But apparently she is OK with Platner's Nazi-linked tattoo.

Finally, they offer their take on the governor's race in South Carolina and criticize Republican candidate Nancy Mace's policy priorities.

Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss California's ongoing vote-counting controversies, a congressional report showing Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz repeatedly failed or refused to stop rampant fraud, Scott Pelley's martyr complex after getting the boot from CBS, and Jill Biden once again excluding one of her granddaughters from public recognition.

First, Jim and Greg comment on Karen Bass and City Councilwoman Nithya Raman advancing to the general election in the Los Angeles mayor's race, Spencer Pratt coming up short and lingering questions about California's election system.

Then, Jim and Greg react to former CBS correspondent Scott Pelley's effort to portray himself as a victim following his firing last week. They also discuss the left wing bubble in mainstream media.

Finally, they criticize former First Lady Jill Biden for once again refusing to acknowledge the child that Hunter Biden fathered out of wedlock. Mrs. Biden dedicated her latest book in part to her granddaughters, but she did not include the child's name, continuing a pattern.

Welcome to Last Call, a look at the biggest stories Jim and Greg covered over the past week on the 3 Martini Lunch.

This week they discuss California’s chaotic election process, MSNOW's Ali Velshi complaining that he can't celebrate America's 250th birthday because we're such a racist country, troubling new allegations against Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner, and a bizarre twist in Alaska’s Senate race.

First, Jim and Greg complain about California's inefficent vote counting. We are still waiting for results in the governor's race involving Xavier Becerra, Steve Hilton, and Tom Steyer, and the Los Angeles mayor's primary with Karen Bass, Spencer Pratt, and Nithya Raman. They also discuss disappointing results in other contests.

Next, they react to MSNOW host Ali Velshi bemoaning how tough it is to celebrate 250 years since the Declaration of Independence because of what he considers our terribly racist history and our supposed mistreatment of women and minorities today.

Then, they sift through the most recent allegations against Graham Platner from multiple former girlfriends, who describe what they call "reckless and unsettling" behavior. The accusations include aggressively grabbing women, forcing one woman's arm behind her back, and preventing her from leaving a room. But Democrats still support him.

Finally, they focus on Alaska, where Sen. Dan Sullivan may have to share the ballot with another candidate named Dan Sullivan in the August primary. Is it a legitimate campaign or an attempt to create voter confusion? Greg and Jim also rip Alaska's convoluted voting system.

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they examine troubling new allegations against Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner, escalating Democratic infighting in a prominent Florida congressional race, former Rep. George Santos suspected of fraud - again, and embarrassingly little vote counting progress in California.

First, they sift through the latest allegations against Graham Platner from multiple former girlfriends, who describe what they call "reckless and unsettling" behavior. The accusations include aggressively grabbing women, forcing one woman's arm behind her back, and preventing her from leaving a room. But Democrats still support him.

Next, they break down the fierce battle among Democrats in Florida. Following recent GOP redistricting, longtime Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz is now running in a district traditionally represented by a black Democrat. The move has sparked intense backlash from black Democrats.

Then, they sigh as convicted fraudster and former New York Rep. George Santos is reportedly under investigation for fraud after betting on his own activities on the betting market Kalshi.

Finally, they give an update on the pathetic progress in counting votes in California.

Join Jim and Greg for an all-crazy Thursday 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss Paul Krugman's call for the de-MAGAification of America after President Trump leaves office, Democrats' refusal to condemn the growing scandals surrounding Graham Platner, California government unions fighting return-to-office orders, and Virginia Sen. Mark Warner's complaints about the Supreme Court.

First, Jim and Greg blast far-left Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman's argument that the United States should undergo a "thorough purging" of the MAGA movement, comparing it to Germany's de-Nazification process after World War II.

Next, they hammer Democrats such as Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer for continuing to dodge questions about Platner's mounting controversies. Jim asks whether Democrats are willing to enforce even the most basic standards of character and accountability for their own candidates.

Then, Jim and Greg are baffled by California unions representing government employees continuing to push for delays in returning to in-person work. They also laugh at the arguments for them not coming back to work.

Finally, they react to Sen. Mark Warner's accusation that the Supreme Court is showing partisan bias in its congressional redistricting rulings. Jim and Greg explain why the decisions are not a double standard and how the court is really approaching these issues.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down California’s chaotic election process, billions in newly uncovered Obamacare and Medicaid fraud, Jill Biden’s latest delusional take on the 2024 election, and a bizarre twist in Alaska’s Senate race.

Next, they dig into a new report revealing an estimated $25 billion in fraudulent Obamacare subsidy payments, along with additional Medicaid fraud uncovered in Ohio. How widespread is government healthcare fraud across the country?

Then, they react to former First Lady Jill Biden’s claim that Joe Biden would have defeated President Trump in 2024 had he remained in the race. Jim and Greg strongly dispute that and wonder whether the Bidens will ever face reality.

First, Jim and Greg discuss the intense divide among Democrats over scabdal-ridden Maine U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner and whether Platner will really be the nominee come November.

Next, executive from Exxon and Chevron warn that gas prices could go much higher very soon as oil and gas reserves shrink. Jim and Greg consider the economic and political impacts.

Then,they discuss President Trump agreeing to end his Justice Department fund reimbursing Americans that Trump sees as victims of Biden administration prosecutions.

Finally, Jim and Greg explain why Illinois Democrats seem to be forcing the Chicago Bears to move to Indiana.

Join Jim and Greg for the Monday edition of the 3 Martini Lunch as they dig into the latest scandal surrounding Maine Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner, MSNOW's Ali Velshi complaining that he can't celebrate America's 250th birthday because we're such a racist country, another cringy woke quote from Texas Senate candidate James Talarico, and the final polling before California's high-profile primary elections.

First, they shake their heads as yet another controversy engulfs the Platner campaign. This time, the allegations involve Platner exchanging explicit messages with as many as six women on a shady dating app after he was married. The campaign is dismissing the story as "gossip" from a former top aide, but facts can be inconvenient things.

Then, they sigh as video emerges of Texas U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico referring to women as "neighbors with uteruses." Jim and Greg discuss just how much the left has to torture the English language to advance their crazy narratives.

Finally, the look at the final polls heading into Tuesday's high-profile California primaries for governor and mayor of Los Angeles.

Welcome to Last Call, a look at the biggest stories Jim and Greg covered over the past week on the 3 Martini Lunch.

This week they discuss former First Lady Jill Biden lying to us yet again about Joe Biden's condition in 2024, the attempted swatting of Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass facing allegations of flouting election laws, and Virginia Democrats postponing their congressional campaigns.

First, Jim and Greg hammer Jill Biden after her CBS News interview in which she claimed she thought President Joe Biden was having a stroke during his 2024 debate against President Trump. She also insisted she had never seen Biden in that condition before or after that night. Jim and Greg call out her lies as Mrs. Biden pushes her new book.

Next, they condemn the latest threat targeting a U.S. Supreme Court justice after Justice Amy Coney Barrett was the target of an attempted swatting - sending police to a home under false pretenses. Thankfully, police quickly recognized the hoax before it escalated. Jim and Greg also reflect on how political violence and intimidation have continued to worsen since the attempted assassination of Justice Brett Kavanaugh four years ago.

Then, they react to Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass holding a campaign event next to a ballot drop box while supporters submitted ballots during the event. Challenger Spencer Pratt has filed a complaint alleging Bass violated election laws. Jim and Greg explain why ballot drop boxes are a horrible idea and how candidates just don't seem to care if they are breaking election laws.

Finally, they have fun noting several Virginia Democrats are quietly ending their congressional campaigns now that this year's elections will be held under the existing congressional map and not the egregiously gerrymandered map struck down earlier this month by the Virginia Supreme Court.

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they react to Sen. Susan Collins clashing with Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner over the Iraq War, the attempted swatting of Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett, New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham claiming Democrats don’t need men’s votes to win elections, and the unraveling of the Freedom 250 concert series on the National Mall.

First, Jim and Greg break down the comments of Sen. Susan Collins and Democrat challenger Graham Platner after Platner accused Collins of voting to send him to die in Iraq. They applaud Collins for clearly correcting the record and welcome a Wall Street Journal column from the Purple Heart recipient whom Platner said he wished had died during the war.

Then, they react to comments from New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, who told Democrats that if enough Democrat women vote, they won’t need support from men to win elections. Jim and Greg consider what Lujan Grisham is really saying here and the massive media double standard that comes with it.

Finally, they cringe as the majority of artists withdraw from an already lackluster lineup of Freedom 250 concerts on the National Mall starting next month. Jim and Greg have some fun discussing some of the names that were on the schedule but note how this news is also a reflection of how divisive our nation is right now.

Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch as they skewer former First Lady Jill Biden over her obvious lies about Joe Biden's condition in 2024, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul's failed attempt to dunk on President Trump, a Democrat with ties to Al Qaeda running for Congress, and Virginia Democrats postponing their congressional campaigns.

Next, they laugh as Gov. Hochul gets embarrassed by her attempt to get in a petty jab at President Trump over the New York Knicks. Trump said he was excited to see the Knicks back in the NBA Finals and calls himself a lifelong fan of the team. Hochul tried to challenge that assertion and it backfired big time. Jim and Greg have a lot of fun correcting the record.

Then, they spotlight New Jersey congressional candidate Adam Hamawy, a Democrat who reportedly interned for the “charitable” arm of Al Qaeda during the 1990s. Jim and Greg react to the controversy and wonder whether Democratic Party standards have fallen so low that they'll even vote for this guy.

Join Jim and Greg for Wednesday’s 3 Martini Lunch as they react to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s decisive victory over Sen. John Cornyn in the Texas GOP Senate runoff, the impending resignation of Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass facing allegations of flouting election laws, and growing concern over the re-emergence of Ebola.

First, they break down Ken Paxton’s commanding win in the Texas Republican Senate runoff and preview his upcoming general election showdown with far-left state Rep. James Talarico. They also discuss the Texas congressional runoff results, where two high-profile Democrats were ousted by their own party.

Next, Jim and Greg discuss reports that DNI Tulsi Gabbard will soon step down as she helps her husband battle a rare form of bone cancer. They wish the family well in the very tough fight ahead. Jim also explains why he initially viewed Gabbard as an odd choice to lead U.S. intelligence, but why his respect for her increased in recent months.

Finally, as international concern grows over the latest Ebola outbreak, Jim recounts some Ebola concerns he had returning from Europe.

Jim Geraghty is back! Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as Jim recaps his two-week trip reporting on national security in Finland, Latvia, and Poland. Jim explains how Finland is on guard against Russian mischief on the water and beyond, how Latvia's government folded while he was there, how the U.S. is helping Polish defenses, and just how much the Finns love their saunas.

First, Jim recounts joining Finnish forces on patrol in the Gulf of Finland, where authorities closely monitor suspicious Russian-affiliated vessels and other potential security threats. He explains how Finland has built one of Europe’s most elaborate and extensive facilities in anticipation of a possible conflict with Russia that they hope never happens. And how he ended up eating Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.

Next, Jim takes us to Latvia, which was in a full-blown political crisis while he was there, all due to some wayward Ukrainian drones. Jim explains what happened ,how it led to the prime minister's resignation, and what is expected to happen next.

Then, it's on to Poland as Jim explains how his hosts were very pleased to see military help arriving from the U.S. - both in terms of troops and weapons.

Finally, Jim explains the deep love the people of Finland have for their saunas.

Join Jim and Greg for this special 3 Martini Lunch as they look at some important stories that did not rise to martini status in recent weeks but deserve attention. Today, Jim looks at three different stories that leave him optimistic about young Americans. Greg also spotlights a story involving young people but devotes his other two choices to horrible actions by Democrats.

After Greg shares some thoughts about Memorial Day, they shift to their discussions for the day. Jim cheers data showing very positive results from schools banning cell phone use by students for all or part of the school day. And while usage goes down, we're seeing significant progress in other areas. Meanwhile, Greg sounds the alarm on new research showing what impact hours of screen time have on young brains.

Next, Jim applauds the low teen birth rate, which has plummeted over the past few decades. Greg focuses on the recent Supreme Court decision on racial gerrymandering to point out how Democrats claim to be defending norms and institutions, but want to abolish or radically alter institutions that don't do what they want them to do.

Finally, Jim takes us inside his very positive experience with high school robotics competitions and the great lessons those students learn. Greg talks about a recent Justice Department report explaining just how much the Biden administration discriminated against pro-life Christians and other conservatives of faith.

Welcome to Last Call, a look at the biggest stories Jim and Greg covered over the past week on the 3 Martini Lunch. This week, Jim was away and guest hosts included Inez Stepman of Independent Women, Hillsdale College Radio General Manager Scot Bertram, and radio and podcast host Craig Collins.

This week our biggest stories included Republican voters in Kentucky soundly defeating Rep. Thomas Massie, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass saying she wants to "explore" non-citizen voting, former Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown dodging answers on ket issues as he tries to return to the Senate, and the weird congressional obsession with Daylight Saving Time.

First, Inez and Greg react to Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie losing decisively to Trump-backed challenger Ed Gallrein. They also examine how Massie’s image shifted from principled libertarian conservative to a frequent obstacle to the broader GOP agenda.

Next, Scot and Greg chronicle Karen Bass saying she is willing to explore non-citizen voting in LA. Scot explains how the left's arguments about citizenship are wildly inconsistent. Greg believes the Democrats' goals on this issue are crystal clear.

Then, Craig and Greg get a good laugh out of former Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown, who was voted out of office in 2024 and running for U.S. Senate again this year, claiming he doesn't know enough about the issues to say whether he supports abolishing ICE or cutting off military aid to Israel.

Finally, Scot and Greg groan as the House of Representatives once again considers legislation to make Daylight Saving Time permanent. Scot and Greg explain why this is a terrible idea, what the better permanent time would be, and what the best approach to our clocks really is.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour host Scot Bertram fills in for Jim Geraghty on Friday’s 3 Martini Lunch. Join Scot and Greg as they break down major Justice Department fraud indictments in Minnesota, the Democrats’ laughable 2024 election autopsy, public infighting among top Illinois Democrats over the Chicago Bears, and a big shake-up in the Michigan governor's race..

First, they enthusiastically welcome the Justice Department announcing 15 indictments connected to $90 million fin alleged in Minnesota. And officials say they are just getting started. Scot and Greg hope this will lead to the uncovering of fraud in all states. They also react to a lengthy prison sentence handed down in a separate $250 million fraud case and explain why accountability in these cases is vitally important.

Next, they get a kick out of the Democratic National Committee’s weak "autopsy" on why Kamala Harris lost the 2024 election. While the report acknowledges a few legitimate problems, Scot and Greg highlight the far more damaging issues Democrats continue to ignore.

Then, they enjoy the escalating feud between Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson after the Chicago Bears announced their new stadium would be outside the city limits and possibly outside the state. The truth is both of them deserve blame and since Democrats control Illinois, there's no way to pin this on Republicans.

Finally, they react to former Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan ending his independent campaign for Michigan governor. Scot explains why Duggan’s public reasoning doesn’t add up and what may really be driving his exit from the race.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour host Scot Bertram fills in for Jim Geraghty on Thursday’s 3 Martini Lunch. Join Scot and Greg as they discuss Amazon founder Jeff Bezos delivering a dose of economic reality to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass wanting to "explore" non-citizen voting, tthe end of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and Congress once again trying to wreak havoc with our clocks.

First, they welcome Jeff Bezos explaining why Amazon is far more competent and efficient than the government, and why Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is clueless when she says no one can earn a billion dollars honestly.

Next, they chronicle Karen Bass saying she is willing to explore non-citizen voting in LA. Scot explains how the left's arguments about citizenship are wildly inconsistent. Greg believes the Democrats' goals on this issue are crystal clear.

Then, as CBS prepares to air the final episode of The Late Show tonight, Scot explains how Stephen Colbert not only ruined the show but the entire genre of late night television. Greg reminds us why CBS is really pulling the plug, no matter how much Colbert wants to portray himself as a martyr.

Finally, they groan as the House of Representatives once again considers legislation to make Daylight Saving Time permanent. Scot and Greg explain why this is a terrible idea, what the better permanent time would be, and what the best approach to our clocks really is.

Inez Stepman of Independent Women fills in for Jim Geraghty on Wednesday’s 3 Martini Lunch. Join Inez and Greg as they break down Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie’s decisive Kentucky GOP primary loss, President Donald Trump’s endorsement of Ken Paxton in the high-stakes Texas Senate race, and why union victories in New York could send hotel prices soaring even higher.

First, they react to Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie losing decisively to Trump-backed challenger Ed Gallrein. They also examine how Massie’s image shifted from principled libertarian conservative to a frequent obstacle to the broader GOP agenda.

Next, they consider the fallout from President Trump's formal endorsement of Ken Paxton over John Cornyn in the Texas GOP U.S. Senate primary. Senate Republicans are frustrated by the endorsement. Will Trump's move put that seat and the Republican majority in serious danger or will it mean a more conservative senator from Texas?

Then, they dive into major union victories in New York involving Long Island Railroad employees and hotel housekeepers. Those housekeepers will get a 50 percent raise and now enjoy average salaries above $100,000 per year. And guess who pays for all of this?

Finally, they look back at the U.S. Senate. With Louisiana Sen. Bill Cassidy losing his primary on Saturday after Trump endorsed one of his challengers, and Sen. Cornyn possibly losing next week, will they make it tougher for Republicans to get things done?

Inez Stepman of the Independent Women's Forum is in for Jim on the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch. Today, Inez and Greg break down an MSNOW host being horrified that House Speaker Mike Johnson would say our rights come from God and not government, the disgusting Luigi Mangione fangirls who celebrate his murder of a health insurance CEO, Iran's stalling tactics on a deal to end the war, and California Gov. Gavin Newsom's "break the glass" scenario in California politics.

First, they shake their heads as MSNOW's Katy Tur is worried about officials on the right claiming that our rights come from God is usurping the Declaration of Independence. They laugh over the fact that is Johnson is precisely articulating the main point of the Declaration of Independence. But they weep at how ignorant so many Americans are about our founding and the state of civics education.

Next, they shudder over the Luigi Mangione fans becoming "journalists" covering his case and then taking to the sidewalk outside the court to celebrate Mangione's murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson and defending political violence as “heroic.” Inez explains how this and the reaction of many on the left to the murder of Charlie Kirk prove this is an acceptable perspective from way too many people on the left.

Then, they react to President Trump once again agreeing to push back additional military action because Iran is supposedly more serious about reaching a peace deal. Inez and Greg discuss why stalling is in Iran's interest and what the impact is on the U.S. as well.

Finally, as Gov. Newsom alludes to ways the Democrats can make sure the next governor of California is not a Republican, inez explains how the California Democrats operate and almost always get the results they want.

Radio and podcast host Craig Collins is in for Jim today. Join Craig and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss a convicted Minnesota fraudster implicating Rep. Ilhan Omar, some major wins on the national security front, a red state Democrat trying to fool voters on ICE, and the coming Texas Senate runoff.

First, they react to a key figure convicted in the Minnesota fraud scandal saying that Rep. Ilhan Omar is very much a part of the scandal. Craig and Greg don't believe we should automatically believe the convicted criminal's allegations, but they have other reasons for suspecting Omar is likely involved.

Next, they applaud three key wins on the national security front, including the elimination of a top ISIS figure in Nigeria, and the arrests of a top Tren de Aragua cartel leader, and an Iraqi national suspected of helping terrorists target American citizens and interests.

Then, they get a good laugh out of former Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown, who was voted out of office in 2024 and running for U.S. Senate again this year, claiming he doesn't know enough about the issues to say whether he supports abolishing ICE or cutting off military aid to Israel.

Finally, in the wake of Louisiana Republican voters rejecting a third term for Sen. Bill Cassidy on Saturday, Craig reports on the intensity of the U.S. Senate runoff in his state of Texas with just a week to go

Welcome to Last Call, a look at the biggest stories Jim and Greg covered over the past week on the 3 Martini Lunch. This week, Jim was away and his National Review colleague Charles C.W. filled in for three days.

This week, Charlie and Greg highlight he Trump administration’s escalating crackdown on Medicare and Medicaid fraud, the dangerous Democratic push to expand the U.S. Supreme Court, the disturbing number of people who think the Trump assassination attempts were staged, and North Korea's new nuclear policy.

First, Charlie and Greg applaud Vice President JD Vance and CMS Director Mehmet Oz for taking a tougher stance against Medicare and Medicaid fraud. The administration announced it is deferring $1.3 billion in Medicare reimbursements to California over concerns the state is failing to combat fraud effectively. Vance warns other states could face similar consequences, while Oz explains the huge benefits we could see from greatly reducing fraud.

Next, Charlie goes deeper into his condemnation of Democrats openly plotting to expand the U.S. Supreme Court by enough seats to give the left a likely majority. Charlie explains why he believes that would be the most damaging event to our constitutional order since the Civil War.

Then, they're horrified that a third of Democrats believe the attempted White House Correspondents Dinner shooting was staged. And even more of them believe the shooting in Butler, Pennsylvania - where Trump actually got shot - was staged. Charlie and Greg discuss the relentless conspiracies in our politics and whether there's a way to reverse the trend.

Finally, they comment on North Korea's new law that if another nation kills or incapacitates Kim Jong-Un, North Korea would "automatically and immediately" launch nuclear weapons.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour host Scot Bertram fills in for Jim Geraghty on Friday’s 3 Martini Lunch. Join Scot and Greg as they react to Kamala Harris embracing sweeping Democratic power-grab proposals, alarming declines in student reading and math scores nationwide, the growing push to tax unrealized capital gains, and a leftist policy proposal that Americans of all political persuasions should reject.

First, they break down Kamala Harris’s “no bad idea brainstorming” session, where she advocated abolishing the Electoral College, expanding and packing the U.S. Supreme Court, and punishing justices for rulings that differ from expectations during confirmation hearings. Meanwhile, the Democrats and their media allies claim they were playing nice with Republicans until now.

Next, Scot and Greg are concerned but not surprised that reading and math have declined in the vast majority of school districts over the past decade. They discuss why this is happening, how to turn those results around, and what left-wing ideas are proven failures.

Then, they shake their heads over Illinois Democrats proposing taxes on unrealized capital gains — meaning Americans could be taxed on increases in the paper value of stocks, real estate, and other assets before selling them. The Democrats say it's only aimed at millionaires and billionaires, but explains how this approach will inevitably hit everyone.

Finally, they get ready to fire up their grills as Los Angeles councilwoman and mayoral candidate Nithya Raman proposes a ban on backyard barbecuing during windy and dry conditions.

National Review Senior Editor Charles C.W. Cooke, who also hosts the Charles C.W. Cooke Podcast, fills in for Jim on the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch. Join Charlie and Greg as they break down the Trump administration’s escalating crackdown on Medicare and Medicaid fraud, the dangerous Democratic push to expand the U.S. Supreme Court,and the predictable results of Callifornia providing taxpayer-funded iPads to prisoners.

Then, they sigh as California spends $189 million on taxpayer-funded iPads so prisoners, or "justice impacted individuals" as many on the left call them, can contact their families and pursue educational opportunities. Do you think that's what the devices are being used for? No. No, it is not. Charlie rips the waste of money and the Orwellian way the left looks at criminals.

Finally, the New York Times proves Charlie right by promoting the dubious Nicholas Kristoff column on it's main X page, but addressing concerns about evidence and fact-checking to a public relations account with a tiny fraction of the followers that the main page has.

National Review Senior Editor Charles C.W. Cooke, who also hosts the Charles C.W. Cooke Podcast, fills in for Jim on Wednesday’s 3 Martini Lunch. Join Charlie and Greg as they dig into the heinous allegations against Israel by New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristoff, Biden Homeland Security Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas regretting not acting sooner to secure the border, California Democrat Xavier Becerra's pathetic plea for only a few tough questions from the media, and more.

First, Charlie and Greg slam Kristof’s column accusing Israel of horrific abuses against Palestinian prisoners, including claims involving trained dogs. They contrast those allegations with newly detailed reports documenting the brutal atrocities committed by Hamas during the October 7, 2023 terrorist attacks on Israel.

Next, they roll their eyes as former DHS Sec. Mayorkas admits the Biden administration should have acted sooner to control the border. But he still ultimately blames Congress and says he is very proud of the executive orders Biden issued in the summer of 2024 to reduce the chaos. Charlie shreds Mayorkas' argument and explains how the border crisis was intentional.

Then, they laugh at California gubernatorial candidate Xavier Becerra asking a reporter to limit the number of difficult questions. Charlie explains why the moment perfectly captures the modern left’s expectations of media coverage.

Finally, they react to the winner of the Democratic U.S. Senate primary in Nebraska planning to drop out of the race and endorse the "independent" candidate.

National Review Senior Editor Charles C.W. Cooke, who also hosts the Charles C.W. Cooke Podcast, fills in for Jim on Tuesday’s 3 Martini Lunch. Join Charlie and Greg as they break down the Democrats' latest overt attacks on our courts, Congress considering a federal gas tax holiday, the disturbing number of people who think the Trump assassination attempts were staged, and North Korea's new nuclear policy.

First, they react to California Gov. Gavin Newsom accusing the U.S. Supreme Court of exercising "raw power politics" and raising questions about its legitimacy because the justices allowed Alabama to change its congressional map. Meanwhile, House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries is vowing "massive" judicial reforms if Democrats get back in power. Charlie explains what's really happening here.

Next, there's a movement in Congress to suspend the federal gas tax for 90 days. Charlie explains why he sees this more as a gimmick than a solution to high prices. But he also reveals why he's glad to see Congress doing this even though he opposes the bill.

Finally, they comment on North Korea's new law that if another nation kills or incapacitates Kim Jong-Un, North Korea would "automatically and immediately" launch nuclear weapons.

Radio and podcast host Craig Collins is in for Jim today. Join Craig and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they weigh in on some of the alarming ideas Virginia Democrats are reportedly entertaining to try to save their gerrymandered map, Erika Kirk's commencement address at Hillsdale College, more asylum seekers giving up and planning to leave the U.S., and California Gov. Gavin Newsom's bad math and very expensive "free" diapers program.

First, they dig into a New York Times report that top Democrats discussed lowering the mandatory age of retirement for the Virginia Supreme Court so they could remove all seven justices and appoint others who would approve the congressional map with a likely 10-1 Democratic advantage.

Next, they applaud Erika Kirk's message to Hillsdale College graduates about why it's not only important to know about the American founding but to understand it and apply those principles to today's debates. They also discuss how she greatly outclasses the voices who are constantly denigrating her.

Then they welcome a CBS News report that many asylum seekers are now giving up and planning to leave the U.S. Greg explains how asylum is granted on very narrow criteria. Craig says this increase in self-deportation is very revealing.

Finally, California is is using nearly $20 million in taxpayer dollars to pay for diapers for as many as 100,000 newborns in the state. Gov. Newsom strongly disputes the price tag but Craig explains how Newsom has it all wrong and taxpayers are getting fleeced.

Welcome to Last Call, a look at the biggest stories Jim and Greg covered over the past week on the 3 Martini Lunch.

This week they highlight the Virginia Supreme Court ruling the Democrat's gerrymandering referendum was done in an unconstitutional way, Democrats already plotting another government shutdown showdown ahead of the midterms, and shocking new reporting on massive home health Medicaid fraud in Ohio. Plus, McDonald's makes a major change that is not a good reflection on our culture.

First, Jim and guest host Craig Collins react to Friday's Virginia Supreme Court decision nixing what would have been a 10-1 Democratic edge on the Virginia congressional map because Democrats did not follow the constitution in advancing the referendum.

Next, they spotlight the top Democrat on the House Homeland Security Committee openly admitting that Democrats are already considering a government shutdown this October unless their absurd ICE "reforms" are agreed to. How will this impact the midterm elections?

Then, they spotlight explosive reporting from The Daily Wire’s Luke Rosiak detailing more than $1 billion in alleged “home health” Medicaid fraud in Ohio. The scheme reportedly involves fraudulent companies billing Medicaid to pay individuals to care for family members—or in some cases, doing no work at all. Jim and Greg walk through some of the stunning details.

Finally, Jim and Greg react to McDonald's moving the soda pop machines behind the counter and the reasons why its happening.

Join Jim and fill-in host Craig Collins for Friday’s 3 Martini Lunch as they break down Virginia’s blockbuster Supreme Court ruling on redistricting, growing concerns that China sees an opening as U.S. missile stockpiles shrink during the Iran conflict, and the bizarre rise of a Senate candidate whose Nazi tattoo controversy somehow seems to be boosting his political profile.

First, they dive into the Virginia Supreme Court’s decision to strike down the state’s controversial redistricting referendum, preserving the current congressional map and shutting down Democrats’ attempt to redraw districts mid-decade.

Next, they tackle a troubling New York Times report suggesting China believes the U.S. military has weakened itself by burning through key missile stockpiles during the ongoing conflict with Iran.

Then, they shake their heads over growing speculation that controversial Maine Senate candidate Graham Plattner — whose Nazi tattoo explanation continues to raise eyebrows — could somehow become a rising star within Democratic politics.

Finally, in the chaser, they explore newly released UFO footage and declassified government videos that are reigniting alien speculation online.

(00:00:00) DNC 2024 Autopsy
(00:05:44) Jet Fuel Prices Impact on Economy
(00:12:10) Hantavirus Cruise
(00:19:02) Remembering Ted Turner

Craig Collins is in for Greg Corombus today, and Craig and Jim wonder why the Democratic National Committee still refuses to release its heavily-researched "autopsy" of the 2024 election and what it means that Kamala Harris is now saying the DNC should release it.

Then they lament the higher price of jet fuel, the warnings from the airline industry to the Trump administration about the economic fallout from the war against Iran and closure of the Strait of Hormuz, and the forecast that higher air travel costs will last until autumn.

In the crazy martini, Jim and Craig note the captain of that cruise ship with a hantavirus outbreak initially told passengers that there was nothing contagious on the ship. And finally, they say farewell to Ted Turner, a unique figure on the modern media landscape.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down a huge win for the GOP already in 2026, the Republicans' efforts to flip Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman, and the Pentagon’s response to bizarre claims about Iran’s military capabilities in the Persian Gulf.

First, as they watch odious figures like Nick Fuentes embrace the Democrats again and seek to "burn down the whole (Republican) party in 2028," it's a sign that the GOP is largely slamming the door in the face of these extremists. Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens are also noticeably drifting leftward. Jim and Greg are plenty glad to witness this addition by subtraction.

Next, they consider the effort by two Republican senators to woo Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman to join the GOP. He says that won't happen. Jim and Greg point out that Fetterman really only bucks the Democrats on a couple of issues but that's enough to make him a pariah on the left. They also consider Fetterman's options as he considers re-election in 2028.

Then they get a good laugh as Sec. Pete Hegseth and Gen. Dan Caine reassure Americans that Iran does not have "kamikaze dolphins" as weapons in the Persian Gulf. They also consider where the war stands four weeks into this cease-fire.

Finally, Jim and Greg preview what the next couple of weeks will look like on the 3 Martini Lunch.

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down shocking new reporting on massive home health Medicaid fraud in Ohio, the Palisades Fire arsonist allegedly admits being inspired by Luigi Mangione, Rep. Nancy Mace exposing taxpayer-funded sexual harassment settlements in Congress, and McDonald’s decision to move soda machines behind the counter.

First, they spotlight explosive reporting from The Daily Wire’s Luke Rosiak detailing more than $1 billion in alleged “home health” Medicaid fraud in Ohio. The scheme reportedly involves fraudulent companies billing Medicaid to pay individuals to care for family members—or in some cases, doing no work at all. Jim and Greg walk through some of the stunning details.

Next, after the Left repeatedly blamed last year's devastating LA wildfires on climate change, we later learned it was an arsonist. And now that arsonist reportedly told prosecutors he was inspired to do it by Luigi Mangione murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in 2024 and wanted to send a warning to the wealthy. Jim and Greg also discuss the latest in the LA mayor's race.

Then, they give credit to South Carolina Rep. Nancy Mace for revealing that six members of Congress used taxpayer funds to settle sexual harassment claims between 2007 and 2017. Jim and Greg revisit the scandal and provide context on some of the lawmakers involved.

Finally, Jim and Greg react to McDonald's moving the soda pop machines behind the counter and the reasons why its happening.

Join Jim and Greg for the Monday edition of the 3 Martini Lunch as they break down Tucker Carlson’s bizarre performance on a New York Times podcast, Democrats already plotting another government shutdown showdown ahead of the midterms, and the University of Oregon agreeing to use the campus alert system if ICE agents are spotted on campus.

First, they shake their heads over Carlson flatly denying that he ever speculated on his own podcast about whether President Trump could be the Antichrist, even when confronted with his own words. The segment only gets stranger as Carlson suggests possible treachery within the administration against Vice President JD Vance. Jim and Greg try to figure out what's going on with Tucker.

Then, they roll their eyes as the University of Oregon gives in to student demands by agreeing to activate the campus alert system if ICE agents are spotted nearby.

Finally, they point to a special state senate election in Michigan tomorrow for a seat Gov. Gretchen Whitmer held open for 16 months for political advantage.

Welcome to Last Call, a look at the biggest stories Jim and Greg covered over the past week on the 3 Martini Lunch.

This week they break down Nazi tattoo guy Graham Platner effectively clinching the Democratic U.S. Senate nomination in Maine, the Justice Department’s new charges against former FBI Director James Comey, and the left’s bizarre insistence that the would-be White House Correspondents Dinner shooter was not political despite his manifesto. Plus, they examine the latest twist in Al Gore’s climate change charade.

First, Jim and Greg break down Gov. Janet Mills dropping out of the Maine U.S. Senate race, a move that all but hands the nomination to Platner. They revisit the disturbing controversies tied to Platner and highlight how aggressively Mills had previously criticized him.

Next, they react to a federal grand jury returning two felony indictments against Comey tied to his “8647” Instagram post last year. Comey now faces charges of threatening to kill President Trump and then distributing that threat through social media. Jim and Greg have no love for Comey, but they explain why this prosecution is likely to fail.

Then, they focus on the would-be shooter and his manifesto. And Jim and Greg are stunned as Barack Obama and others on the left claim the motive was unknown long after the manifesto had already been released.

Finally, they get a good laugh as former Vice President Al Gore, after decades of warning about the supposedly catastrophic effects of global warming, is now sounding the alarm in the opposite direction.

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they assess the Justice Department indictment of a close aide to Dr. Anthony Fauci, a new poll showing Texas Democrat James Talarico narrowly leading both Republicans in the U.S. Senate race, and Chicago schools urging students to attend far left May Day rallies.

First, they react to the Justice Department indicting David Morens, a longtime associate of Dr. Fauci at the National Institutes of Health, for allegedly destroying government records tied to the COVID-19 outbreak to evade Freedom of Information Act requests. Jim and Greg explain how this looks like an open and shut case and why NIH officials did not want to comply.

Next, they dig into new Texas polling showing Democrat James Talarico with slim leads over both Sen. John Cornyn and Attorney General Ken Paxton ahead of their late-May Republican runoff. Jim explains why he believes Cornyn is far likelier than Paxton to defeat Talarico and why this race could divert GOP funds from other tough races.

Then they slam Chicago Public Schools for encouraging students to skip class and attend far-left May Day rallies, even offering busing. Jim and Greg discuss the deterioration of Chicago schools and how far left Democrats are moving now.

Finally, Marxist Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson gives a flippant response over the possibility of wealthy people in Washington state leaving over the coming 9.9 percent millionaire's tax. Jim and Greg explain why she won't be laughing if a lot of those people actually leave.

Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch as they react to Nazi tattoo guy Graham Platner effectively clinching the Democratic U.S. Senate nomination in Maine, a powerful new campaign ad from Los Angeles mayoral candiate Spencer Pratt, a possibile rift in the Trump administration over the war in Iran, and a strange new poll in the California governor's race.

Next, they applaud Pratt's new ad in the LA mayor's race. It establishes a stark contrast with failed incumbent Karen Bass, but can Bass be defeated in such a deep blue area.

Then, they react to a report from The Atlantic suggesting that aides to Vice President JD Vance are concerned that Donald Trump may not be receiving accurate information from the Pentagon regarding the Iran conflict and the state of U.S. missile stockpiles.

Finally, they tear apart a new poll on the California governor's race over it's bizarre descriptions of the candidates.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down the Justice Department’s new charges against former FBI Director James Comey, how the Trump blockade is crippling Iran’s economy, and the eye-opening deleted tweets from a leading Democratic U.S. Senate candidate. Plus, they examine the latest twist in Al Gore’s climate change charade.

First, they react to a federal grand jury returning two felony indictments against Comey tied to his “8647” Instagram post last year. Comey now faces charges of threatening to kill President Trump and then distributing that threat through social media. Jim and Greg have no love for Comey, but they explain why this prosecution is likely to fail.

Next, they examine the devastating impact the war and the U.S. blockade of the Strait of Hormuz are having on Iran’s economy: soaring inflation, widespread job losses, and an oil industry in crisis. But will this create enough pressure for meaningful change inside Iran?

Then, they shake their heads at some of the now-deleted social media posts from Michigan Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Mallory McMorrow, including her comments about the auto industry, the death of a conservative U.S. Supreme Court justice, and the future of the United States.

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they react to The View co-host Ana Navarro hoping Republicans were shaken enough by Saturday’s attempted shooting to pass gun control legislation, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis unveiling a new congressional map that could flip multiple House seats towards the GOP, the growing feud between Jimmy Kimmel and Melania Trump, and Rep. Ilhan Omar clearly needing a history lesson.

First, they describe Navarro’s comments as not only tasteless but remarkably ignorant. They explain why her reaction echoed other unconscionable responses from the left in recent years and argue that additional gun control laws would have done nothing to stop the would-be shooter at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

Next, they break down the new Florida congressional map released by Gov. DeSantis. Legal challenges are almost certain. Jim and Greg discuss the endless redistricting wars, why they are not surprised by this move, and how a critical Supreme Court decision on congressional districts expected in the coming weeks plays into all of this.

Then they dive into the controversy over Jimmy Kimmel’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner joke that Melania Trump was “glowing like an expectant widow.” Mrs. Trump wants Kimmel fired, while Kimmel insists it was harmless comedy. Jim and Greg weigh in.

Finally, they have some fun at the expense of Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar after her reference to World War 11.

Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down multiple angles of the attempted shooting of President Trump at the White House Correspondents Dinner on Saturday. They discuss their relief that the incident did not turn out far worse, the left’s bizarre insistence that the would-be shooter was not political despite his manifesto, and Trump’s argument that the threat proves the need for a White House ballroom. Plus, some great news for a good friend of the podcast.

First, they breathe a sigh of relief that the attempted shooting of President Trump and other administration officials did not become deadly. Jim explains what the environment is like around White House Correspondents Dinner and the surrounding receptions. They also credit the Secret Service for quickly taking the gunman into custody while examining the serious security concerns exposed by the incident.

Next, they focus on the would-be shooter and his manifesto. Jim and Greg are stunned as Barack Obama and others on the left claim the motive was unknown long after the manifesto had already been released.

Then they react to President Trump suggesting the White House Correspondents Dinner crisis is the clearest example yet of why a White House ballroom is needed. Democratic Sen. John Fetterman agrees. Jim says the ballroom is a good idea overall but explains why it would not be the proper site for this specific event.

Finally, they share a very encouraging health update from columnist and frequent 3 Martini Lunch guest host, Jon Gabriel.

Welcome to Last Call, a look at the biggest stories Jim and Greg covered over the past week on the 3 Martini Lunch.

This week they examine the Justice Department indicting the far-left Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) on multiple fraud charges, the resignation of Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer, the left's radical - but likely - agenda whenever they retake Congress and the White House, and the resignation of Florida Democratic Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick.

First, they focus on the Justice Department’s 11-count fraud indictment against the SPLC. Jim and Greg walk through the formal charges and reveal how the SPLC allegedly spent large sums on “informants” within extremist organizations. They also explain why Democrats and much of the media continue to embrace the SPLC.

Next, they're not at all sorry to see President Trump forcing Sec. Chavez-DeRemer to resign. Jim and Greg explain how she was always far too cozy with big labor and a threat to the freelance economy. They also note the serious ethics problems, both personal and professionsl, that were mounting against her.

Then, fossilized former Clinton campaign adviser James Carville urges Democrats to aggressively seize power whenever they control the White House and both chambers of Congress again. You'll hear what specific ideas Carville and the Democrats are pushing, along with his advice that candidates avoid talking openly about those plans until after Election Day.

Finally, they wave goodbye to Rep. Cherfilus-McCormick, who resigned Tuesday and still faces federal corruption charges.

(00:00:00) U.S. Navy Intercepts Iranian Vessel
(00:05:38) A Bailout for Spirit Airlines?
(00:10:27) Betting on the future when you know the future

Craig Collins remains in for Greg Corombus Friday, and Craig and Jim start by noting the U.S. Navy’s success in capturing Iranian-flagged ships trying to run the blockade on Iran’s ports – while noting that the growing size of the “ghost fleet” in the past decade or so is a scandal.

Speaking of ghosts, the Trump administration is attempting to resurrect the bankrupt Spirit Airlines, in a move unpleasantly reminiscent of the federal government’s bailout of General Motors.

In the crazy martini, Craig and Jim have mixed feelings about the special operations soldier who was involved in the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro who allegedly made more than $400,000 by betting on Maduro’s removal from office. Is this what they mean when they say to bet on yourself?

Finally, a New York Giants fan and a New York Jets fan watch the first round of this year’s NFL Draft and come away… happy!

(00:00:00) Virginia referendum challenged in court
(00:04:22) NJ Congressman MIA
(00:08:24) The politics of gas prices

Craig Collins is in for Greg Corombus, and Craig and Jim start with the good news that a Virginia judge blocked the state from certifying the results of Tuesday's congressional map referendum, deeming the referendum and the bill that triggered it as unconstitutional. (Don’t get too excited, this is just the first step in a multi-step process.)

Then Craig and Jim wonder about the long absence and unspecified health issues of New Jersey Republican congressman Tom Kean Jr., and tell the administration that when it comes to gas prices, it’s better to underpromise and overdeliver than the other way around.

Finally, the two long-suffering fans of New York’s NFL teams contemplate the Giants' and Jets' prospects in tonight’s NFL draft.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday edition of the 3 Martini Lunch as they react to Virginia voters approving Democrats’ heavily gerrymandered congressional map, the Justice Department indicting the far-left Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) on fraud charges, Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy’s controversial tweet about the Iran war, and the resignation of Florida Democrat Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick from Congress.

First, they wince as Virginia voters approve the Virginia Democrats’ aggressively partisan congressional map. The fight now moves to court and will likely be decided soon. Jim says Tuesday’s narrow margin shows just how unreasonable a 10-1 Democratic advantage would be for Virginia in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Next, they focus on the Justice Department’s 11-count fraud indictment against the SPLC. Jim and Greg walk through the formal charges and reveal how the SPLC allegedly spent large sums on “informants” within extremist organizations. They also explain why Democrats and much of the media continue to embrace the SPLC.

Then they roll their eyes as Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy draws criticism for calling reports that 26 Iranian vessels got through the U.S. blockade in the Strait of Hormuz “awesome.”

Finally, they wave goodbye to Rep. Cherfilus-McCormick, who resigned Tuesday and still faces federal corruption charges.

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down the resignation of Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer, signs of momentum among House Democrats towards expelling Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, and the sudden surge of former Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra in the California governor’s race.

First, they're not at all sorry to see President Trump forcing Sec. Chavez-DeRemer to resign. Jim and Greg explain how she was always far too cozy with big labor and a threat to the freelance economy. They also note the serious ethics problems, both personal and professionsl, that were mounting against her.

Next, House Democrats now seemed more inclined to expel Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick or at least pressure her to resign over allegations that she stole millions in COVID-era FEMA funds for personal and political benefit. But Democrats were adamantly opposed to punishing her just a few weeks ago. What changed?

Then they are startled to see Sec. Becerra leap to the front of the pack in the California governor’s race, especially since he was barely an afterthought for most of the campaign until Eric Swalwell was forced to withdraw.

Finally, they take a quick look at the Los Angeles mayoral race, where Karen Bass appears on track for re-election. But as leading challenger and former reality television star Spencer Pratt alleges the Chinese are aggressively buying up lots after the Palisades and other fires, Jim and Greg wonder whether Pratt’s celebrity will help or hurt his campaign.

Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down historically low violent crime rates in Washington, D.C., new evidence on the brain damage linked to regular marijuana use, the left's radical - but likely - agenda whenever they retake Congress and the White House, and Zohran Mamdani's curse on the New York Mets.

First, they welcome statistics showing Washington, D.C, on track for the lowest number of murders since 1930 plus a major drop in carjackings. Hopefully, the trend continues. If it does, there are specific, common sense policy changes that are obviously making a big difference.

Next, as pot smokers celebrate 4/20, Jim and Greg examine both recent and longstanding research suggesting regular weed use can damage the brain and lead to other health problems. Jim and Greg discuss how neither party is interested in pushing back against pro-weed policy anymore, even as evidence like this grows. Plus, Jim offers some classic commentary on having to smell weed all the time in America's cities.

Finally, they have some fun with the news that the New York Mets are 0-11 since their mascots, Mr. and Mrs. Met, hugged New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani. But Jim knows that Mamdani, like most Marxists, has a plan to salvage the season.

Welcome to Last Call, a look at the biggest stories Jim and Greg covered over the past week on the 3 Martini Lunch.

This week, Jim and Greg break down two high-profile congressional resignations, the radical views of popular lefty podcaster and influencer Hasan Piker, New York Times columnist Tom Friedman’s baffling stance on the Iran war, and some badly needed judicial wisdom from Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.

First, they welcome the resignations of Caiifornia Rep. Eric Swalwell and Texas Rep. Tony Gonzales. Swalwell is the Democrat who was running for governor until sexual assault and other allegations forced him out of the race. Gonzales, a Republican who is married, had an affair with a married staffer who later committed suicide by self-immolation. They react to the resignations and what's left of the Democrats running for governor in Caiifornia.

Next, they react to lefty podcaster Hasan Piker doubling down on his claim that Israel is a thousand times worse than Hamas. Piker is a prominent voice on the left and some candidates have asked him to campaign with them. You'll also learn who Piker sees as the biggest terrorist organization in the world.

Then they throw up their hands as longtime New York Times columnist Tom Friedman says he's conflicted over who he wants to win the Iran war. We'll explain the absurd reasons for his conundrum and just how deranged that thinking is.

Finally, after all of that bad news, Greg and Thursday guest host and former Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli close with some refreshing wisdom from Justice Thomas about the proper role of judges.

Christopher J. Scalia of the American Enterprise Institute is in for Jim Geraghty on the Friday 3 Martini Lunch. Today, Chris and Greg discuss allegations that the media could have reported on the Swalwell scandal as early as 2019, the "Michigan Mamdani: surging in the Michigan U.S. Senate race, and signs that Yale University may finally realize it lost its way.

First, Chris and Greg react to a longtime Democratic activist claiming Politico was preparing a 2019 report on Eric Swalwell’s alleged sexual misconduct while he was running for president. But after Swalwell dropped out of the race, the story was never published, even though he remained in Congress.

Next, they shudder as hostility towards Israel is now clearly the popular and safest position among Democrats. Abdul El-Sayed, dubbed the Michigan Mamdani, is now tied for the lead in the Michigan Democratic U.S. Senate primary. They also note that every Democratic senator rumored to be considering a presidential run just voted against military aid to Israel.

Then, Chris welcomes a new report from a special Yale University commission outlining where the school has gone wrong on admissions, academics, free speech, soaring tuition costs and more. They hope it marks the beginning of a return to sanity in higher education, but will actions follow the words?

Finally, Chris observes another small but important return to normalcy: some familiar-looking uniforms for the team formerly known as the Washington Redskins.

Former Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli fills in for Jim Geraghty on the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch. Today, Ken and Greg break down another maddening bipartisan push for immigration amnesty, the latest battle over Virginia’s congressional map, and a sweeping new gun control effort from Virginia Democrats.

First, they examine the so-called “Dignity Act,” backed by Republican Rep. Maria Salazar, which would grant legal work status to illegal immigrants who arrived before 2021 and have not committed additional crimes. While supporters insist it’s not amnesty, Cuccinelli says it is clearly amnesty. He also explains how radical the left has become on this issue and why there are always some Republicans who never learn when it comes to this issue.

Next, Ken and Greg update the fight over Democrats' efforts to radically redraw Virginia's congressional map and flip four additional seats in their favor. Cuccinelli explains why he's optimistic that the referendum will fail and why he's confident the new map won't take effect even if voters approve it.

Then, they dive into Virginia Democrats’ escalating gun control agenda, highlighting how the state serves as a preview of the midterm elections. They argue it’s a clear example of the gap between the supposedly moderate promises Democrats make on the campaign trail and the far left policies they pursue once in power.

Finally, after all of that bad news, they close with some refreshing wisdom from Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas about the proper role of judges.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down Arizona Sen. Ruben Gallego’s efforts to distance himself from disgraced former Rep. Eric Swalwell, the radical view of popular lefty podcaster and influencer Hasan Piker, the anti-capitalist domestic terrorism attack the media is barely covering, and Joy Behar's cluelessness about Christianity.

First, they dissect Sen. Gallego’s lengthy comments about Swalwell, once described as a close ally, now dismissed as someone living a “double life.” Gallego insists he had no knowledge of the behavior while accusing Republicans of trying to link him to the scandal. Jim and Greg question how such conduct could go unnoticed given Capitol Hill chatter and explain why Gallego is scrambling to politically inoculate himself from the fallout.

First, they go through the extensive comments of Sen. Gallego, who was Swalwell's best friend and now Gallego says he had no idea about Swalwell's "double life." He also accuses Republicans of trying to tie him to the scandal. Jim and Greg explain why Gallego pleading ignorance does not pass the smell test. And they explain why Gallego needs to inoculate himself from the Swalwell scandal as quickly as possible.

Then, Jim and Greg highlight the domestic terrorism incident where an employee burned down a Kimberly Clark Corp. warehouse in Ontario, California. The suspect was allegedly inspired by Luigi Mangione, who murdered a health insurance executive in New York City, and claimed that his arson was a protest against capitalism.

Finally, they sigh as Joy Behar claims Jesus Christ never claimed to be the Messiah. Even the other lefties on The View corrected her. Greg explains why she's wrong and Jim reveals why this kind of ignorance is so common on that show.

Next, they throw up their hands as longtime New York Times columnist Tom Friedman says he's conflicted over who he wants to win the Iran war. We'll explain the absurd reasons for his conundrum and just how deranged that thinking is,

Then, they examine President Trump’s Truth Social post that many interpret as depicting himself as Jesus, sparking widespread reaction online. They also dive into Trump’s escalating war of words with Pope Leo XIV, particularly over disagreements on the Iran conflict and immigration policy.

Finally, they react to the elections in Hungary, where Viktor Orban and his party were soundly defeated in parliamentary elections.

Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down the explosive scandal engulfing California Rep. Eric Swalwell and its impact on the governor’s race, escalating tensions after failed U.S.-Iran negotiations, and the growing controversy surrounding a Democratic Senate candidate’s disturbing past.

First, parental discretion is advised, as Jim and Greg dig into the details and fallout of four different women accusing Rep. Swalwell of sexual misconduct ranging from rape to sending and requesting explicit photos. Multiple lawmakers and reporters say none of this comes as a surprise about Swalwell. So why did the Democrats decide to kick Swalwell to the curb noe when they've known about him for years?

Next, they react to the U.S. and Iran failing to reach a deal to end their six-week war through negotiations in Pakistan over the weekend. In response, President Trump is blockading the Strait of Hormuz and key Iranian ports. What does this mean for the war and your wallet/

Then, they react to Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner blaming his Nazi Totenkopf tattoo and past inflammatory comments about rape on what he calls a hyper-masculine military culture. But he says he has much different views now. Jim and Greg are not buying it at all.

Finally, Democrats forced Swalwell out of the California governor's race, but they're somehow conflicted about whether he should stay in Congress. Jim and Greg predict whether he will be forced out or allowed to finish his term.

Welcome to Last Call, a look at the biggest stories Jim and Greg covered over the past week on the 3 Martini Lunch.

This week, Jim and Greg break down how the Charlotte train murderer may escape true justice, the eyebrow-raising parenting confessions from Jennifer Siebel Newsom, wife of California Gov. Gavin Newsom, and the jaw-dropping success of the U.S. military in rescuing two Americans shot down over Iran.

First, they vent after DeCarlos Brown, who stabbed Iryna Zarutska to death on train in Charlotte, is deemed incompetent to stand trial in a mental health evaluation. Jim and Greg explain how it's thoroughly implausible for this diagnosis to suddenly emerge now and how this would be a major miscarriage of justice if the court agrees.

Next, they dive into comments from California "First Partner" Jennifer Siebel Newsom, who revealed some extreme parenting tactics to fight the patriarchy. Jim and Greg reveal what they think of her advice and what impact this could have on Gavin Newsom's presidential ambitions.

Then, they marvel at the U.S. military’s unwavering commitment to leaving no man behind and highlight the remarkable coordination between armed forces and the intelligence community to extract the American flight crew before Iranian forces could capture them.

Finally, in this week's chaser, they can only laugh as MSNOW's Lawrence O'Donnell launches the most ridiculous attack possible in connection with the amazing rescue mission conducted in Iran last weekend.

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they react to Vice President Vance clarifying the terms of the negotiations with Iran, congressional Republicans likely allowing Medicaid dollars to fund abortions as the number of abortions hit record highs, and Senate Democrat Leader Chuck Schumer more and more open to supporting the candidate who had the Nazi tattoo.

First, they react to Vice President JD Vance clarifying the terms of negotiations with Iran, explaining that Donald Trump agreed to a different 10-point framework proposed by Iranian officials, not the widely circulated list of extreme demands seen in media and social media. So what's in the other plan?

Next, they express deep concern over Planned Parenthood reporting a record 434,450 abortions in Fiscal Year 2024–2025. They're also frustrated by reports that House Speaker Mike Johnson does not plan to include a ban on Medicaid funding for abortions in the upcoming reconciliation bill.

Then, they watch the dysfunction on the Democrats' side of the aisle as Sen. Schumer says he will fully support far left Maine U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner if Platner defeats Schumer's preferred candidate, Gov. Janet Mills, in the primary. Platner is the one who had a Totenkopf tattoo until very recently. Jim also notes the financial woes still afflicting the Democratic National Committee.

Finally, parents in Fairfax County, Virginia, are getting frustrated that a majority of weeks during the school year do not have five full days of instruction. Fairfax County parent Jim Geraghty weighs in on the controversy.

Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down how the Charlotte train murderer may escape true justice, the Justice Department’s crackdown on a military leaker, and why Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger is already facing sinking approval numbers. Plus, MSNOW's Lawrence O'Donnell delivers a head-scratching reaction to the Iran rescue mission.

First, they vent after DeCarlos Brown, who stabbed Iryna Zarutska to death on a Charlotte, North Carolina, is deemed incompetent to stand trial in a mental health evaluation. Jim and Greg explain how it's thoroughly implausible for this diagnosis to suddenly emerge now and how this would be a major miscarriage of justice if the court agrees.

Next, they applaud the FBI and Justice Department for charging a former United States Special Operations Command employee at Ft. Bragg, North Carolina, over the alleged leak of “top secret” classified intelligence tied to a highly sensitive military unit.

Then, they help Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger understand the reasons why her political honeymoon is over and why her approval numbers are already south of 50 percent.

Finally, they can only laugh as MSNOW's Lawrence O'Donnell launches the most ridiculous attack possible in connection with the amazing rescue mission conducted in Iran last weekend.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down President Trump’s agreement to a two-week ceasefire with Iran, the political implications of a Republican victory in a key Georgia U.S. House special election, a decisive liberal win on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, and the ongoing success of the Artemis II mission.

First, they take a deep dive into what we know so far about the temporary U.S.-Iran ceasefire, examining whether the deal advances American interests. Jim zeroes in on shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, Iran's absurd conditions to negotiate, and what national security goals must be achieved before agreeing to anything long term.

Next, they react to Republican Clay Fuller’s win in the Georgia special election to replace Marjorie Taylor Greene in Congress. Fuller won by nearly 12 points, but since Trump won the district by 37 points in 2024, how much should the narrower results cocern the GOP heading into the midterms?

Then, they wince at the results in Wisconsin, where the Democrat-endorsed judicial candidate cruises to a commanding victory in the state Supreme Court race, further tilting the court’s ideological balance.

Finally, they marvel at the accomplishments of Artemis II as it now returns to Earth.

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down President Trump’s search for the source of a sensitive Iran rescue leak, the staggering new funding demands for California’s troubled high-speed rail project, and explosive allegations surrounding Rep. Eric Swalwell’s gubernatorial run.

First, they fully support President Trump's frustration with someone leaking critically important and sensitive information during the mission to rescue two American aviators from Iran. But they also caution that trying to figure it out by targeting media who reported the leaks is likely to end in more frustration.

Next, they shake their heads in disbelief as officials in California insist $126 billion will finish the high speed rail project that is already way over budget and hopelessly behind schedule. Jim and Greg explain why this project has been such a mess and react to those with the gall to ask for even more taxpayer money.

Then, they examine allegations from a left-wing attorney claiming Eric Swalwell engaged in inappropriate relationships with multiple interns and required non-disclosure agreements. If some of these women go public, what will be the impact on Swalwell? Jim and Greg also react to President Trump endorsing Steve Hilton in the California governor's race.

Finally, Greg celebrates the University of Michigan winning the NCAA basketball title.

Jim Geraghty is back! Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down the jaw-dropping success of the U.S. military in rescuing two Americans shot down over Iran, the far-left bias pushed in an AP government textbook, and the eyebrow-raising parenting confessions from Jennifer Siebel Newsom, wife of California Gov. Gavin Newsom. Plus, they welcome the return of Savannah Guthrie to NBC’s Today show.

First, they marvel at the U.S. military’s unwavering commitment to leaving no man behind and highlight the remarkable coordination between armed forces and the intelligence community to extract the American flight crew before Iranian forces could capture them.

Next, they react to an X post from New York Post and Fox News columnist Karol Markowitz, who spotlights a controversial political spectrum chart from an AP high school government textbook. The graphic places major political figures on axes of authoritarianism vs. libertarianism and economic left vs. right. The results are insane. Is your child being taught this too?

Then, they dive into comments from California "First Partner" Jennifer Siebel Newsom, who revealed that she had her sons play with dolls and she makes sure the hero is a female in every story she reads to her kids. Jim and Greg reveal what they think of this parenting advice and what impact this could have on Gavin Newsom's presidential ambitions.

Finally, they're glad to see Savannah Guthrie return to the Today show after more than two month of a nightmare that's still unresolved.

Welcome to Last Call, a look at the biggest stories Jim and Greg covered over the past week on the 3 Martini Lunch. Jim was on vacation this week but Greg enjoyed great conversations wiith our guest hosts on the Daily Mail's irresponsible reporting on the Charlie Kirk murder case, the reality beind the No Kings protests, and Pennsylvania Democrats stumped when asked to define "women."

First, Greg and National Review's Charles C.W. Cooke dismantle a Daily Mail report highlighting a defense motion in the Charlie Kirk murder case that’s being framed as a bombshell revelation. Charlie explains why the filing is a routine legal strategy and not evidence supporting conspiracy theories promoted by figures like Candace Owens.

Next, Greg ane former Virginia lawmaker Nick Freitas highlight the latest series of "No Kings" protests around the U.S. last weekend and how numerous rallies featured communist flags and banners. They also highlight how this supposedly grassroots effort is funded and carefully organized by very far left groups.

Then, Nick and Greg get a good laugh as Democrats in Pennsylvania try to approve a resolution honoring March as National Women's Month. But a very simple Republican amendment ended up derailing the whole thing. We share the story and discuss how the the party that supposedly champions women ends up insulting and disrespecting them over and over again.

In this week's chaser, Greg and Charlie Cooke react to the bizarre story of twelve tons of KitKat products stolen in Europe. While condemning the theft, Charlie and Greg reveal which candy or snack they would be most tempted to swipe.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour host Scot Bertram fills in for Jim Geraghty on on the Friday 3 Martini Lunch. Today, Scot and Greg discuss President Trump firing Attorney General Pam Bondi, anti-Semitism driving a majority of hate crimes in New York City, the radical beliefs of a competitive U.S. Senate candidate in Michigan, and King Charles III skipping an Easter message..

First, they react to President Trump's dismissal of Pam Bondi. Trump insists Bondi did a good job and they she will take on a different role in the administration. So why did Trump make this move? Scot and Greg offer a couple of explanations for why this happened and why it happened now.

Next, they examine troubling new data from the NYPD showing that a majority of hate crimes in New York City during the first quarter of 2026 were driven by anti-Semitism. Scot explains why he thinks Islamic radicals feel emboldened right now in New York City and beyond. Greg suggests there's a pretty simple way to bring those numbers way down.

Then, they take a close look at Abdul El-Sayed, one of the Democrats running for U.S. Senate in Michigan in a very close primary. New reporting this week shows El-Sayed wanted to avoid a public response to the U.S. killing of Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khameini. And a former member of the campaign staff says El-Sayed true beliefs on Israel and other issues are deeply disturbing.

In the Friday chaser, Scot and Greg shake their heads as the UK's King Charles III declines to give an Easter message just weeks after issuing a very positive statement for Ramadan.

Inez Stepman of the Independent Women's Forum is in for Jim Geraghty for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch. Today, Inez and Greg discuss President Trump's Iran speech, the agreement among congressional Republicans to fund most of the Department of Homeland Security, and another facepalm moment from Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson.

First, they're glad President Trump once again explained just how devastatingly successful the U.S. military has been against Iran over the past month and that operations should be over within 2-3 weeks. But there are still big questions about what conditions we need to say it's over and what happens after that in the region.

Next, they react to House Speaker Mike Johnson agreeing to take up and pass the Senate bill funding most of Homeland Security, except parts of ICE and Customs and Border Protection. It's a win for airline passengers and also for DHS employees who haven't been paid since mid-February. But it's another example of Republicans making frustrating concessions.

Finally, they cringe at Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s unusual illustration defending the prevailing interpretation of birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment. Inez also explains why the Trump administration is unlikely to win the case currently before the court.

Inez Stepman of the Independent Women’s Forum fills in for Jim Geraghty on Wednesday’s 3 Martini Lunch. Today, Inez and Greg break down a major Supreme Court free speech ruling, the latest birthright citizenship arguments before the court, Congress leaving DHS unfunded for another two weeks, and the jaw-dropping cost of college at George Washington University & other schools.

First, they react to the Supreme Court’s 8-1 ruling against a Colorado law that banned therapists from counseling minors to accept that their biological sex is correct. Inez also slams Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson as essentially writing op-eds from the bench instead of rooting decisions in the law. They also discuss today's high profile birthright citizenship case.

Next, they take Congress to task for leaving Washington for a two-week break while the Department of Homeland Security remains unfunded. Inez argues this dysfunction underscores the need for at least a talking filibuster, and maybe an end to the fllibuster altogether, to get things done. Greg is skeptical that ending the filibuster would be good in the short term or the long term.

Then, they dig into the skyrocketing cost of higher education after reports that George Washington University will charge returning students up to $98,000 per year for tuition, room, and board. Inez explains how government involvement in higher education continues to drive prices higher, leaving families burdened while universities reap the benefits.

Finally, they highlight the scheduled launch of the Artemis II mission, which aims to send astronauts around the moon and pave the way for future lunar landings and a permanent base there. They're glad to see America aiming high again, both in exploration and for our national security.

National Review Senior Editor Charles C.W. Cooke, who also hosts the Charles C.W. Cooke Podcast, fills in for Jim on Tuesday’s 3 Martini Lunch. Charlie and Greg break down misleading Daily Mail reporting fueling conspiracy theories about the Charlie Kirk murder case, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt blasting media silence on a high-profile crime committed by an illegal alien, and backlash from The View over comments encouraging young women to get married and have kids.

First, they dismantle a Daily Mail report highlighting a defense motion in the Charlie Kirk murder case that’s being framed as a bombshell revelation. Charlie explains why the filing is a routine legal strategy and not evidence supporting conspiracy theories promoted by figures like Candace Owens.

They also praise Karoline Leavitt for calling out major broadcast networks for giving minimal coverage to the murder of Loyola University student Sheridan Gorman by an illegal alien. Charlie and Greg examine the media’s reluctance to spotlight crimes involving illegal immigrants and the left's pattern of protecting violent criminal illegals from deportation.

Next, they dig into why the women on The View would be so horrified that a speaker at last week's CPAC encouraged young women to prioritize marriage and having children while they are young. Charlie also points out the policy ignorance on display in the reaction on The View.

Finally, in today’s chaser, they react to the bizarre story of twelve tons of KitKat products stolen in Europe. While condemning the theft, Charlie and Greg reveal which candy or snack they would be most tempted to swipe.

Former Virginia Del. Nick Freitas, host of the Making the Argument podcast, fills in for Jim Geraghty on the Monday 3 Martini Lunch. Nick and Greg break down the real agenda behind the “No Kings” protests, Pennsylvania Democrats hilariously failing to honor National Women's Month, and what's really happening with the Virginia Democrats aggressive far left agenda.

First, they highlight the latest series of "No Kings" protests around the U.S. this past weekend and how numerous rallies featured communist flags and banners. They also highlight how this supposedly grassroots effort is funded and carefully organized by very far left groups.

Next, they get a good laugh as Democrats in Pennsylvania try to approve a resolution honoring National Women's Month. But a very simple Republican amendment ended up derailing the whole thing. We share the story and discuss how the the party that supposedly champions women ends up insulting and disrespecting them over and over again.

Finally, Freitas draws on his experience in the Virginia House of Delegates to explain what's really happening as Democrats lurch far to the left and which parts of their agenda disturb him most. Nick also previews his upcoming book, The Man Book.

Welcome to Last Call, a look at the biggest stories Jim and Greg covered over the past week on the 3 Martini Lunch. This week, they discuss Joe Kent offering to testify for the defense in the Charlie Kirk murder case, an Illinois politician blaming the victim for being murdered by an illegal alien, and Jimmy Kimmel mocking Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin’s blue-collar background

First, they react with disbelief as former National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent claims the FBI blocked his investigation into Charlie Kirk’s assassination and now says he is willing to testify in defense of the accused killer. Jim and Greg weigh in on the unhinged, conspiracy-minded podcast hosts and what this tells us about Kent in particular.

Next, they fume over the murder of a college student near Loyola University in Chicago, allegedly at the hands of an illegal immigrant. A Chicago alderman quickly suggested on social media that the victim may unintentionally be to blame or her own killing. Jim calls out the left's huge double standard on illegals.

Then, they also call out Jimmy Kimmel for ridiculing Sec. Mullin’s roots as a plumber. In the chaser of the week, Jim and Greg highlight Virginia Rep. Don Beyer admitting his state's gerrymandering effort is "unfair" but explainng why he thinks voters should approve of it anyway.

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they dissect the Senate deal to fund the Department of Homeland Security except for ICE and Customs & Border Patrol, reports that many more U.S. ground forces may be mobilized for the war with Iran, and San Francisco school officials reverse the big mistake of eliminating middle school algebra, which had been done in the name of "equity."

First, they react to the U.S. Senate passing funding for most of DHS, while excluding ICE and Customs and Border Protection, via a late-night voice vote. Jim and Greg unpack why some conservatives see this as a strategic Republican win, while others argue the GOP squandered critical leverage and caved in this standoff.

Next, they examine reports that up to 10,000 additional U.S. ground forces could be mobilized to the Middle East, giving President Trump more options in the war with Iran. Jim explains why he supports the war effort but stresses that the administration must clearly and publicly justify the deployment of any ground troops.

Finally, they offer muted applause for the San Francisco School Board after it reverses its controversial decision to eliminate middle school algebra in the name of “equity.” With test scores declining in the years since the change, Jim explains why dumbing down standards and expectations hurts everyone.

Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman blasting fellow Democrats over the DHS shutdown, Jimmy Kimmel mocking Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin’s blue-collar background, Iran’s absurd demands to end the war, and a House Democrat edging closer to expulsion.

First, they applaud Fetterman for forcefully rejecting his party’s push to keep the Department of Homeland Security shut down and shredding their arguments for doing so. They also call out Jimmy Kimmel for ridiculing Sec. Mullin’s roots as a plumber

Then they get a kick out of Iran’s laughable negotiating demands to end the war. Greg uses a personal analogy to explain why Iran has no leverage, while Jim asks a very important question about any future negotiations.

Finally, they react to the House Ethics Committee advancing closer toward a possible expulsion of Florida Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick following her indictment on corruption charges. Jim and Greg examine why party leaders so often circle the wagons instead of cutting loose members who should be an embarrassment to the party and to the nation.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down Senate Democrats rejecting an overly generous Republican offer to fund the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Joe Kent’s offering to testify for the defense in the Charlie Kirk murder case, and escalating chaos in California’s Democratic gubernatorial race.

First, they highlight Senate Republicans making the absurd concession of agreeing not to fund ICE’s deportation office in exchange for funding the rest of DHS. Even so, Senate Democrats are refusing the deal. Jim explains what this rejection reveals about the Dems' disturbing mindset.

Next, they react with disbelief as former National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent claims the FBI blocked his investigation into Charlie Kirk’s assassination and now says he is willing to testify in defense of the accused killer. Jim and Greg weigh in on the unhinged, conspiracy-minded podcast hosts and what this tells us about Kent in particular.

Finally, they have some fun with the dysfunction in California’s governor race after a planned debate was canceled due to controversy over which Democratic candidates were invited. Plus, the ones invited were all white and none of the ones left out were white. Jim and Greg sift through the incredibly pathetic field on the left and how they're playing identity politics against one another.

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they weigh in on an Illinois politician blaming the victim for being murdered by an illegal alien, Tucker Carlson praising the supposed tolerance of Sharia Law, and the Senate confirming Oklahoma Sen. Markwayne Mullin as Secretary of Homeland Security.

First, they fume over the murder of a college student near Loyola University in Chicago, allegedly at the hands of an illegal immigrant. A Chicago alderman quickly suggested on social media that the victim may unintentionally be to blame or her own killing. Jim calls out the left's huge double standard on illegals.

Next, Jim and Greg react to Tucker Carlson’s latest comments defending Sharia Law as tolerant welcoming diversity. They question how anyone can square those claims with the reality in Islamic countries, and Jim has some basic questions for those who continue to defend Carlson.

Then, they discuss the Senate’s swift confirmation of Sen. Markwayne Mullin as Secretary of Homeland Security. And in the chaser, Jim and Greg react to Tom Steyer, the billionaire Democrat running for governor of California, making a truly bizarre statement about current Gov. Gavin Newsom.

Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down New York Gov. Kathy Hochul’s newest political regret, Republicans blasting Democrats over failing to fund TSA and the Department of Homeland Security, and President Trump saying he was glad former FBI director and Russia special counsel Robert Mueller is dead.

First, they are thoroughly enjoying Gov. Hochul's regret tour. Last week, she lamented the exit of many rich people from the state over high taxes. Now she's begging the state legislature for help because the bill from the Dems' unrealistic climate legislation from a few years ago is coming due.

Next, they applaud the National Republican Congressional Committee for launching an ad campaign correctly blaming the Democrats for defunding the Department of Homeland Security and making your trip through airport security a nightmare in many cities.

Finally, they react to President Trump saying he is glad Mueller is dead. Jim and Greg also think back through the Russia investigation and why that episode is key to the presidents comments and those from people responding to him.

Welcome to Last Call, a look at the biggest stories Jim and Greg covered over the past week on the 3 Martini Lunch. This week, they discuss the resignation of President Trump's National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent, the childen of top Iranian officials teaching at American colleges and universities. and New York Gov. Kathy Hochul begging rich people who fled he state to come back so she can tax them again.

First, they react to National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent stepping down and alleging that President Trump was pushed into war with Iran by Israel. Jim explains why this resignation and the accusations behind it go far beyond a typical policy disagreement.

Next, they react with disbelief to reports that children of senior Iranian regime figures are living in the United States and teaching at American colleges and universities. Jim has some pointed questions for U.S. immigration officials.

Then, they get a good laugh out of Kathy Hochul openly lamenting the exodus of wealthy residents from New York and urging them to return so the state can collect more tax revenue. But how she said it is also very telling.

Finally, in their Chaser of the Week, they have good news for an actress at the Oscars and the cause she is so passionate about.

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they highlight Senate Republicans exposing Democrats' hypocrisy on voter ID, rising energy pressures tied to the Iran conflict, and the death of legendary actor and martial artist Chuck Norris.

First, they credit Ohio Sen. Jon Husted for proving Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and other Democrats don't mean it when they claim to support requiring photo ID in order to vote. They also point out the Democrats have a long history of opposing Voter ID under any circumstances and use absurd & inflammatory rhetoric to oppose GOP efforts to secure our elections.

Next, Jim breaks down how Iran’s recent missile strike on a liquefied natural gas facility in Qatar, along with tensions surrounding the Strait of Hormuz, will strain global energy markets and drive up prices. He also explains why the war needs to continue and whether our energy independence will help to insulate the U.S.

Finally, they remember martial arts icon, actor, and conservative activist Chuck Norris, who passed away at age 86. Jim and Greg discuss how Norris became a popular voice in GOP politics and how he became a larger than life figure who was beloved by people of all political stripes. Jim and Greg also have fun reciting their favorite "Chuck Norris Facts."

Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss an FBI probe into Trump’s former counterterrorism director, children of high-ranking Iranian regime officials teaching your kids in college, and a shocking report on labor icon Cesar Chavez.

First, they react to the FBI investigation into whether former National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent leaked classified information while on the job. They also consider Kent’s conflicting assessments about whether Iran posed an imminent threat to the United States.

Finally, they examine the explosive New York Times report alleging that Cesar Chavez sexually abused multiple women, including minors, while he led the farm labor movement decades ago. Two women say they were just 12 and 13 years old when the abuse began, with one reporting rape at age 15. Jim and Greg discuss the significance of Chavez in Democratic politics and how these allegations will likely force a major reassessment of his legacy.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they react to escalating tensions between two key Republicans during today’s Homeland Security confirmation hearing, new revelations of alleged financial and political fraud in California, and New York Gov. Kathy Hochul urging wealthy residents to return and pay higher taxes again.

First, they break down Wednesday's heated clash between Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul and Oklahoma Sen. Markwayne Mullin during Wednesday’s confirmation hearing for Mullin’s nomination to replace Kristi Noem as Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. Sen. Paul chairs the committee holding the hearings. Why do they dislike each other so much and what does it mean for the confirmation process?

Next, they highlight newly released undercover videos from Nick Shirley and James O'Keefe that appear to expose widespread fraud across Southern California. What exactly do the videos show, and how is Gavin Newsom and his team responding to the growing scrutiny?

Finally, they get a good laugh out of Kathy Hochul openly lamenting the exodus of wealthy residents from New York and urging them to return so the state can collect more tax revenue. But how she said it is also very telling.

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss Democrats failing to explain why they're inflicting horrific airport security lines on travelers, Trump's National Counterterrorism Center director quitting and claiming Israel snookered up into war with Iran, and the New York Times assigning 60 people to cover the Oscars.

First, they show how bad Democrats are at explaining why they've shut down the Department of Homeland Security for more than a month. While the media still try to shield the Dems from blame, when will the frustration with TSA lines and shuttering the department in the wake of four domestic terrorism incidents boil over?

Next, they react to National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent stepping down and alleging that President Trump was pushed into war with Iran by Israel. Jim explains why this resignation and the accusations behind it go far beyond a typical policy disagreement.

Finally, Jim and Greg are staggered by how many personnel the New York Times devoted to covering the Oscars.

Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they dig into multiple ways President Trump is getting tough on China over Iran, Virginia Democrats showing their true radical colors on gun control, and Tucker Carlson claiming he might face prosecution after the intelligence community snooped on his text messages with his contacts in Iran.

First, they're glad to see President Trump demanding that China help to force Iran to keep oil tankers flowing through the Straits of Hormuz. And they're glad to see a major cconcession by Iran over the weekend as well.

They also unload on Virginia Democrats, who said very little about gun control on the campaign trail last year but are now passing some of the most egregious violations of the Second Amendment anywhere in the U.S. We'll tell you what they are pushing and share one lawmaker's insane explanation for why you don't need a gun to stop a terrorist or mass shooter.

Finally, they roll their eyes as Tucker Carlson claims he's been referred for prosecution over alleged violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act. Jim walks us through the possible options of what might really be going on here.

Welcome to Last Call, a look at the biggest stories Jim and Greg covered over the past week on the 3 Martini Lunch. This week, they discuss Thursday's terrorist attacks in Michigan and Virginia, reports that Iran may be activating sleeper cells in the U.S., and CNN's bizarre fumbling of the facts on last weekend's attempted terrorist attack in New York City.

First, they share their Friday discussion of the terrorist attacks at a synagogue in West Bloomfield, Michigan, and an ROTC class at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia. They highlight the impressive responses of synagogue security and the ROTC cadets, who prevented the respective attacks from being much deadlier. They also fume that the Virginia terrorist was let out of prison early after being convicted of providing material support to ISIS and permitted to stay in the U.S.

Next, they react to U.S. intelligence reports, which claim we intercepted encrypted messages designed to activate Iranian sleeper cells in the U.S. How significant is this threat? And wouldn't now be a good time to fund the Department of Homeland Security?

Then, they pull their hair out over CNN fmiserably failing to get the facts straight about last weekend's attempted terrorist attack in New York City. Even though the suspects pledged allegiance to ISIS, CNN portrayed then as two teenagers who just happened to end up throwing bombs at demonstrators they didn't like.

Finally, in the chaser of the week, they highlight Washington state Democrats passing a 9.9 percent income tax on households grossing more than a million dollars per year. While the left may relish soaking the rich, there may be some unintended consequences for people of all political stripes.

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they examine the Islamist terrorist attacks in Michigan and Virginia, the local Virginia prosecutor who wants to blame the attack on guns, and former Texas Rep. Beto O'Rourke predicting the end of real elections and the start of unchecked fascism unless Democrats win the midterms.

First, they walk through the terrorist attacks targeting Temple Israel synagogue in West Bloomfield, Michigan, and an ROTC class at Old Dominion University in Virginia. Both incidents appear to be clear cases of Islamist terrorism, bringing the total to at least four similar attacks in less than two weeks. The Virginia suspect previously served prison time for providing material support to ISIS but was released early and allowed to remain in the United States.

Next, they rip Norfolk, Virginia, prosecutor Ramin Fatehi, who has jurisdiction over the Old Dominion case, for blaming the “cult of gun absolutism” rather than the extremist ideology the shooter openly expressed before the attack. Jim hammers Fatehi for attempting to shift the narrative and explains how the terrorist violated multiple existing laws at every step leading up to the shooting.

Finally, they examine extreme rhetoric in American politics as Beto O’Rourke claims the upcoming midterm elections are the last barrier between freedom and endless authoritarian rule. Jim and Greg excoriate O’Rourke for using the kind of reckless political language that has motivated violence in the past.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour host Scot Bertram fills in for Jim Geraghty on Thursday’s 3 Martini Lunch. Join Scot and Greg Corombos as they discuss the staggering amount of hospice fraud in Southern California, CNN’s repeated stumbles while reporting the New York City terrorism story, and Michigan lawmakers moving toward a mileage tax.

First, they applaud CBS for reporting on hundreds of millions of dollars lost to hospice fraud, with a surprisingly large share occurring in Los Angeles County. Greg explains how the scheme harms its unwitting victims, while Scot praises CBS for pursuing the story and questions why more mainstream media outlets are not consistently investigating allegations of fraud like this.

Next, they’re stunned as CNN stumbles into a third retraction and apology in less than two days over the attempted terrorist attack in New York City on Saturday. Just hours after anchor Abby Phillip apologized for falsely reporting that NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani was the target, another reporter repeated the same claim. Scot and Greg also react to a CNN commentator badly botching the Pentagon steak and lobster story.

Finally, they weigh in on lawmakers in Michigan considering a mileage tax on electric semi-trailers and haulers to make up for lost gas tax revenue. While they strongly oppose government mandates pushing electric vehicles, Scot and Greg vehemently reject the idea of the government monitoring vehicles to impose a new tax or for any other purpose.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they watch lefty businesses and business owners flee blue states for red states, oil tanker traffic grinding to a trickle in the Persian Gulf, and CPAC still welcoming the likes of Steve Bannon.

First, they react to the news that Starbucks is moving part of its corporate headquarters to Tennessee, a state with no income tax, and hinting that more of its corporate structure could follow. The coffee giant is currently based in Washington state, which just approved a major tax hike on higher-income households. The blue state economic fantasy runs into reality yet again.

Next, they're frustrated by Iran's ongoing ability to stop most oil tankers from exiting the Persian Gulf. Jim explains how Iran is able to harass so many vessels despite its navy being so badly depleted and what the U.S. Navy can do to counteract Iran.

Finally, they groan over the news that CPAC has invited Steve Bannon to speak at its conference later this month. The controversy follows revelations that Bannon conducted a multi-part interview with Jeffrey Epstein and appeared to be trying to rehabilitate Epstein’s public image,

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch podcast as they react to reports that Iran may be attempting to activate terrorist sleeper cells inside the United States, celebrate the Iranian women’s soccer team receiving asylum in Australia, and slam CNN for its disturbing coverage of the attempted terrorist attack in New York City.

First, they discuss the U.S. intercepting encrypted messages that could be aimed at activating terrorist sleeper cells in this country. This type of threat from Iran has been a concern for a long time, but will this amount to anything? Greg also suggests this would be a good time to fund the Department of Homeland Security.

Next, they celebrate the Iranian women's soccer team receiving asylum in Australia. The Iranian regime branded them as "wartime traitors: for refusing to sing the Iranian national anthem before a game last week.

Finally, Jim and Greg unload on CNN for posting a sympathetic tweet and story about the two men who attempted a terrorist attack in New York City on Saturday. The suspects have openly identified as radical Islamists inspired by ISIS, raising serious questions about why CNN would frame the story in a way that appears to soften the portrayal of the accused terrorists.

Finally, they unload on CNN for a sympathetic tweet and story about the two terrorists who tried to kill people in New York City on Saturday and have made it clear that they are radical Islamists inspired by ISIS. Why would CNN even consider sanitizing this story to benefit of the defendants?

Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they weigh in on New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani being deliberately vague about who attempted a terrorist attack in the city over the weekend, national Republicans failing to counter Democrats’ aggressive gerrymandering push in Virginia, and Jesse Jackson Jr. rebuking three former presidents for turning his father’s funeral into a political stage.

First, they slam Mayor Mamdani for being dangerously vague about the two explosive devices that two counter-protesters tried to detonate there at an alleged white supremacist event in NYC on Saturday. The two alleged terrorists gave multiple indications that they were motivated by Islamist ideology. Mamdani clearly trying to obscure the facts is very disturbing sign.

Next, they sigh as Democrats pour tens of millions of dollars into a referendum aimed at redrawing Virginia’s congressional map. The proposal relies on heavily contorted districts to achieve that outcome. Meanwhile, major national Republican organizations appear largely absent from the fight, prompting Jim and Greg to ask why the GOP is standing aside during this battle.

Finally, they applaud Jesse Jackson Jr. for calling out Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden for delivering lengthy political speeches at the funeral of his father, civil rights leader Jesse Jackson Sr. Jim and Greg specifically highlight the hypocrisy of Obama, who always claims to pursue unity but gets divisive at every possible opportunity.

Welcome to Last Call, a look at the biggest stories Jim and Greg covered over the past week on the 3 Martini Lunch. This week, they focus on the U.S. military's incredible execution in Operation Epic Fury against Iran, the downfall of Homeland Security Sec. Kristi Noem, and the Dems' disturbing fondness for a truly radical Senate candidate.

First, Jim and Greg look at the jaw-dropping performance of the U.S. military in the war against Iran. Within the first few hours, the United States and Israel killed Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khameini and dozens of other top officials and seized military dominance by air and sea.

Next, they look at how the week ended with President Trump firing Homeland Security Sec. Kristi Noem. Her congressional testimony seems to have been the final straw, as she admitted to spending $220 million on ads for the department. She claims President Trump knew about those costs and approved them. Noem also said there was open bidding for those contracts. That does not appear to be true.

Then, they shake their heads as Democrats are starting to rally around Maine U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner despite his Nazi Totenkopf tattoo, radical writings, and disturbing associations. So why is the left OK with Platner?

Finally, the "chaser" for the week is how a once famous TV pitchman got wiped out in a Texas congressional primary.

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they examine new questions surrounding departing DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s $220 million advertising spending, react to a weak February jobs report, and marvel at the cutting-edge missile technology that reportedly eliminated Ayatollah Khameini and many other top Iranian leaders.

First, they continue digging into how the Department of Homeland Security spent nearly a quarter of a billion dollars on advertising. The scrutiny intensifies as details emerge showing that only a small number of contractors were considered for the work, many of them with personal connections to outgoing Sec. Kristi Noem.

Next, they wince at the February jobs report, which shows a net loss of 92,000 jobs and the unemployment rate rising to 4.4 percent. Some experts note other key points, including that many of the job losses are in government. But Jim argues Republicans must avoid repeating a key mistake from the Biden era when it comes to the economy.

Finally, Jim and Greg are fascinated by the Blue Sparrow missile used in the strike that killed Ayatollah Khameini and dozens of other Iranian leaders last weekend. The technology behind the weapon is remarkable, but Jim still has one important question.

Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch, as they marvel at lefties rallying around a Senate candidate despite multiple Nazi-related controversies. They also discuss why Homeland Security Sec. Kristi Noem's tenure is ending soon, and the shady way Montana Republicans manipulated the ballot at the filing deadline.

First, they marvel as Democrats and left-leaning media figures suddenly rally around Maine U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner despite multiple controversies, including his Nazi-related tattoo and troubling writings and associations. After initially distancing themselves from Platner, many on the left are now overlooking the baggage because they believe he offers their best chance to defeat Sen. Susan Collins.

Next, they walk through the National Review exclusive explaining why President Trump was running out of patience with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. From taxpayer-funded ads that boosted her personal profile to how she handled ICE operations in Minnesota and more, Noem is providing Trump too many headaches. And since this recording, Trump made Noem's exit official.

Finally, they blast Republicans in Montana for a last-minute maneuver that effectively cleared the field in a major race. Sen. Steve Daines announced on the filing deadline that he would not seek re-election, leaving just one candidate in the contest. Why are some politicians afraid to give voters a real choice?

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down the results of the high-stakes Texas U.S. Senate primaries, assess the latest U.S. military successes against Iran, and unpack the truth about who Qatar actually arrested on terrorism charges.

First, they analyze the results in the Texas U.S. Senate primary, where James Talarico defeated Rep. Jasmine Crockett. Jim and Greg explain how Crockett partially blamed Republicans for her loss and examine just how radical Talarico’s record is, especially in a state like Texas. On the Republican side, they wince as Sen. John Cornyn and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton head toward a long, ugly runoff.

Next, they react to the Pentagon’s latest briefing, which detailed significant destruction of Iran’s air assets, naval forces, and missile launchers. The kinetic part of this operation is going as well as possible.

Finally, they revisit Tucker Carlson's dubious claims that Israel’s Mossad was plotting to bomb Qatar. Now, Qatari officials now say they have arrested two terrorist cells, but they sure weren't from the Mossad.

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they chronicle Iranian officials getting blown up as they try to choose new leaders, President Trump dismissing the rantings of anti-Israel figures on the right, and the and the investigation into the Austin, Texas, terrorist attack.

First, they react to reports that remaining Iranian officials continue gathering in person to select new leadership, only to be eliminated in additional air strikes. Jim and Greg highlight what this reveals about Israeli intelligence capabilities, as well as the stubbornness or stupidity of Iran’s regime figures

Next, they go through the baseless ramblings of Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, and others criticizing the attacks on Iran. They note President Trump’s willingness to directly dismiss complaints from Carlson and Megyn Kelly and discuss why presidents often govern very differently on national security than they campaign, especially on national security.

Finally, they examine the mass shooting in Austin, Texas, which authorities are investigating as an act of terrorism. Jim expresses cautious optimism that the absence of additional attacks in recent days may suggest concerns about widespread Iranian sleeper cells operating inside the United States have been overstated.

Join Jim and Greg for the Monday edition of the 3 Martini Lunch as they marvel at the accomplishments of Operation Epic Fury in Iran, discuss the Iranian military’s retaliatory missile strikes across the Middle East, and wonder how we get Iran to become a stable country that's not always trying to kill us.

First, they react to the stunning execution, complexity, and success of Operation Epic Fury. Dozens of senior Iranian leaders are reported dead, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and U.S. and Israeli forces appear to have established overwhelming aerial dominance as operations continue. Jim and Greg also push back on claims that the conflict was an unprovoked war.

Next, they detail Iran’s military response, including missile attacks targeting multiple countries across the Middle East. At least four American service members were killed in the strikes. Jim notes that a weakened and desperate regime fighting for survival can still inflict serious damage.

Finally, they try to get a handle on how the transition to a better, more responsible Iran is supposed to unfold. Does the U.S. have specific people in mind as transitional figures or long-term leaders or is expected to happen organically?

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday edition of the 3 Martini Lunch as they examine whether U.S. military action against Iran is imminent, Virginia Democrats voting themselves a massive pay raise, and the Pentagon’s escalating dispute with AI company Anthropic over autonomous weapons systems.

First, they react to the U.S. ordering embassy personnel out of Israel and Iraq, a move that has fueled speculation that military action against Iran could be just hours or days away. They discuss what such a strike might look like and what the potential endgame would be.

Next, they sigh as Democrats in the Virginia legislature vote to nearly triple their pay in the next session. Jim says politicians raising their own pay is always a bad idea and he says the last thing we want are full-time state lawmakers.

Finally, they break down the growing clash between the Pentagon and AI firm Anthropic over the future of artificial intelligence in warfare. Anthropic’s CEO claims the company cannot partner with the Defense Department due to concerns about autonomous weapons systems and mass domestic surveillance. Pentagon officials dispute that characterization, and Jim emphasizes the need for clear legal and constitutional guardrails as the U.S. races to develop advanced AI capabilities in competition with Communist China.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour host Scot Bertram fills in for Jim on Thursday’s 3 Martini Lunch. Join Scot and Greg as they break down Vice President JD Vance’s forceful defense of the Trump administration’s fraud investigations, a Midwest mayor claiming Americans should be embarrassed to own guns, and how California Gov. Gavin Newsom's press team demeaned and dismissed a serious reporter with tiresome vulgarity.

First, they applaud Vice President Vance for standing firm behind the Trump administration’s investigation into widespread government fraud, especially following revelations of massive fraud in Minnesota. Scot and Greg argue that fraud needs to be exposed rather than excused.

Next, they highlight the radical comments on guns and dogs from Democrat Grand Rapids, Michigan, Mayor David LaGrand. The mayor says anyone who owns a gun should be ashamed. And he's also supportive of ending K-9 police units after a recent incident. It's not just the leftward lurch of a recently conservative part of the country. It reflects broader Democratic attitudes on gun rights, policing, and traditional American institutions

Finally, they criticize Gavin Newsom communications aide Izzy Gardon for refusing to provide details about Gov. Newsom’s sudden admission of dyslexia and for responding to longtime reporter Susan Crabtree with vulgarity. Scot and Greg discuss what they see as significant disrespect for a well-established reporter and another chapter in the left's endless public profanity.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they dissect President Trump making the Democrats look heartless and crazy in their refusal to applaud almost anything, Trump's reluctance to pursue an aggressive legislative agenda this year, Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger's forgettable rebuttal to Trump's speech, and the truly insane event Dems put on during the speech.

First, they explain what they liked about the speech, including Trump exposing that Democrats oppose the protection of citizens over illegal aliens and or stopping schools or local governments from transitioning minors without the knowledge or consent of parents. Democrats also refused to clap for families traumatized by violent crime and even seemed pretty unenthused about the Olympic champion hockey team. Talk about an own goal!

Next, they scratch their heads at news that President Trump doesn’t want to pursue another reconciliation bill in Congress this year to pass more GOP fiscal priorities while Republicans still hold majorities on both sides of Capitol Hill. Jim and Greg urge him to reconsider and point to the value such an agenda would have on the midterms.

Finally, they pan the Democrats’ rebuttal delivered by Gov. Spanberger, noting what they see as hypocrisy on some issues and incoherence on others. They also highlight the thoroughly bizarre event lefties ran in opposition to the State of the Union.

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday edition of the 3 Martini Lunch as they analyze a rare left-wing denunciation of Democratic leadership in major U.S. cities, preview President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address and what he needs to tell us about Iran, and react to Candace Owens’ latest smear campaign targeting Erika Kirk.

First, they’re pleasantly stunned to see CNN host Fareed Zakaria sharply criticizing Democrats’ disastrous leadership in big cities across the country. Zakaria points to rising spending, higher taxes, and disappointing results in many urban areas long run by the left. But will this stop Zakaria and other lefties from carrying the water for Democrats when election season comes around?

Next, they brace for a long State of the Union address from President Trump tonight. They also urge him to get specific about why there may soon be military action against Iran and why it might be needed. And there are new reports out about what Iran may do in response to any U.S. military action.

Finally, they recoil as Candace Owens prepares to launch an entire series aimed at assassinating the character of Erika Kirk. In addition to denouncing Owens, Jim wants to know where Charlie Kirk's supposed friends are when Kirk's widow is the target of such vile content.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour host Scot Bertram fills in for Jim on Wednesday’s 3 Martini Lunch. Join Scot and Greg as they celebrate Team USA’s Winter Olympics victory, push back on media reluctance to cheer American success, break down the debate over proof of citizenship to vote and the SAVE Act, and examine the left’s increasingly crude and demeaning campaign tactics.

First, they celebrate Team USA's successful Winter Olympics, including the dramatic overtime gold medal win in hockey on Sunday. They applaud hockey hero Jack Hughes for his unabashed love for the U.S. and react to coverage from outlets like HuffPost that seemed reluctant to fully celebrate American success while President Trump is in office.

Next, Scot and Greg take apart arguments from Gavin Newsom and Bernie Sanders, who criticize the SAVE Act’s proof-of-citizenship requirement by claiming difficulty in obtaining birth certificates. They also note the irony as New Yorik City requires five forms of identification before hiring people as emergency snow shovelers.

Finally, they're disgusted as Newsom demeans black voters by how he tries to identify with them and a prominent Illinois U.S. Senate candidate's only campaign message is vulgarities aimed at President Trump. Why do the Democrats think so low of voters?

Inez Stepman of the independent Women's Forum is in for Jim today. Join Inez and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they as they break down the media’s contrasting coverage of American Alysa Liu and American-born Olympian Eileen Gu competing under the Chinese flag, react to the Supreme Court’s ruling on President Donald Trump’s tariffs, and highlight how price controls for groceries is now mainstream policy for Democrats.

First, they share the powerful backstory of Alysa Liu, whose father fled Communist China after the Tiananmen Square crackdown and later resisted Chinese Communist Party efforts to monitor the family and pressure them to return. Inez says it also highlights what should be a key factor in deciding who should be allowed to enter this country.

Next, they assess the Supreme Court’s decision limiting President Donald Trump’s ability to impose tariffs under emergency powers. Inez points out that the overarching ruling leaves the power to tax with the legislative branch but that the raft of concurring opinions shows the court is deeply divided beyond that.

Finally, they shake their heads as mainstream Democrats are now following Zohran Mamdani's lead and calling for price controls on groceries. There's no chance this ends well, but Inez reminds us that this was the Democrats' approach for decades before briefly moving away from it.

Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday edition of the 3 Martini Lunch as they break down French President Emmanuel Macron’s controversial comments on limiting free speech, Tucker Carlson’s claim that he was “detained” in Israel, and new polling that gives Republicans reason for optimism in this year’s gubernatorial elections.

First, they push back on Pres. Macron after he suggested tighter limits on speech he considers hateful or misinformation and anonymous speech online. Jim and Greg explain why restricting free expression is a dangerous path and what the freedom-loving response is to ugly speech. They also comment briefly on the arrest of former Prince Andrew in the UK.

Next, they examine Tucker Carlson’s claim that he and his team were “detained” at Ben Gurion Airport in Israel while traveling to interview Ambassador Mike Huckabee. Huckabee insists the screening was routine and that all travelers face similar scrutiny. Jim weighs in on Tucker's antics and the lesson Huckabee should learn here.

Finally, they're encouraged that polling currently shows Republicans are likely to keep a majority of governorships following this year's elections. They offer different thoughts on why Republicans may fare better at the state level than the national level this year.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they dissect Stephen Colbert and James Talarico apparently lying about why their interview was not aired on CBS, Zohran Mamdani threatening to soak all property owners in New York City with much higher taxes, and a House Republican sounding the alarm about how soon Social Security is going to implode.

First, they follow up on Tuesday’s martini about why Colbert’s interview with Talarico did not air on CBS. Colbert and Talarico claim President Trump’s FCC forced the network to spike the segment, but CBS officials now say they never suggested pulling the interview. Jim is fuming at Colbert and Talarico.

Next, they turn to New York City, where New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is threatening massive property tax increases if state lawmakers refuse to approve higher taxes on “the rich” and corporations. Jim and Greg point out how painfully predictable this was despite Mamdani's "affordability" campaign.

Finally, they spotlight Rep. David Schweikert’s warning that Social Security will implode in less than seven years if no action is taken. Jim and Greg not only lament the lack of will in either party to address the problem, but they also remind us how much more solvent the program would be if we started investing some of Social Security in the markets 20 years ago when President George W. Bush was pushing for it.

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss California Gov. Gavin Newsom's pathetic response to being accurately called "historically illiterate," growing speculation about a possible Supreme Court vacancy, and a new clash among Stephen Colbert, CBS, and federal regulators over election law.

First, they dissect Gavin Newsom’s controversial comments in Germany comparing ICE to the Gestapo or the Stasi, along with his claim that President Trump was the first commander-in-chief to deploy the National Guard and active-duty military inside the United States. After Texas Sen. Ted Cruz labeled Newsom “historically illiterate,” Newsom fired back by accusing Cruz of mocking his dyslexia. Jim and Greg explain why Newsom is wrong on all counts.

Next, they examine rumors that Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito may be considering retirement this year. While much of the speculation appears thin, Jim and Greg outline one practical reason why Alito could decide this is the right moment to step down from the high court.

Then, they dive into the dispute involving Stephen Colbert, CBS, and the FCC over Colbert’s planned interview with Texas Democrat James Talarico just weeks before the Texas U.S. Senate primary. CBS and the FCC say equal time applies in this situation, meaning Colbert needed to offer an interview to Democrat Jasmine Crockett and possible the Republican U.S. Senate candidates.

Finally, they reflect on the passing of the Rev. Jesse Jackson.

Join Jim and Greg for the Monday edition of the 3 Martini Lunch as they break down three high-profile liberals who found themselves looking ridiculous in the spotlight, including New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on China and Taiwan, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer on Ukraine, and HBO host Bill Maher stumbling over basic climate science while attacking the Trump administration.

First, at the Munich Security Conference, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was asked a straightforward foreign policy question about China and Taiwan. She stammered badly and did not come close to answering the question. If she is trying to position herself as a presidential candidate, this was a pathetic start.

Next, during that same conversation in Munich, Gretchen Whitmer fumbles a question about the endgame in Ukraine and surprisingly suggests that Ocasio-Cortez knows more about foreign policy than she does. Is this another sign Whitmer will not be in the 2028 presidential field?

Finally, they shake their heads as HBO's Bill Maher tries to blast the Trump administration for rolling back the Obama-era endangerment finding on carbon dioxide by making a joke that clearly proves Maher does not know what he's talking about. Jim also reflects on his personal experiences appearing on Maher’s show and what it’s like behind the scenes.

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday edition of the 3 Martini Lunch as they wrap up the weekdiscussing the latest elites caught up in the Epstein scandal, the media’s curious silence over a record-setting sewage spill into the Potomac River, and Congress leaves town for more than a week without funding the Department of Homeland Security.

First, they react to newly reported details about Jeffrey Epstein’s connections to former Obama White House Counsel Kathryn Ruemmler, far-leftauthor and commentator Noam Chomsky, and the owner of Lifetouch, one of the nation’s largest school photography companies. Jim underscores the breathtaking indifference many elites appeared to show toward Epstein’s admitted crimes.

Next, they examine what is now being described as the worst wastewater disaster in U.S. history: a massive sewage spill into the Potomac River. Despite the scale and environmental impact, both local and national media outlets have shown strikingly little interest. Jim points out how much the media covers a disaster like this depends almost entirely upon whom they can blame for it.

Finally, they fume as a partial government shutdown will begin at midnight because Democrats refuse to fund the Department of Homeland Security because of their temper tantrum over ICE. Meanwhile, lawmakers won't even be in town next week.

Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch as they sort through conflicting government explanations for the sudden air traffic stoppage in El Paso, the Trump administration squeezing the economic life out of Cuba’s Communist regime, and Democrats gaslighting the public about GOP election security efforts.

First, they try to nail down the truth about why the FAA ordered a 10-day pause in air traffic around El Paso late Tuesday night. Was it a threatening Mexican drone, a party balloon mistaken for a drone, or testing of anti-drone laser technology? And there are also conflicting explanations about which part of government is responsible.

Next, they’re pleased to see the Trump administration playing hardball with Cuba by cutting off oil supplies to the Communist regime. The economic impact is real and immediate, but what is the long-term U.S. plan there?

Finally, they shake their heads as Michigan Rep. Hillary Scholten and other Democrats baselessly claim that requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote would block married women who changed their names from voting. Jim and Greg explain how this is just the latest lie Democrats are using to oppose secure elections.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they react to a chaotic House oversight hearing on ICE operations, the federal government’s sudden halt and restart of flights in El Paso, and California’s controversial “jock tax” that reportedly cost Seattle's quarterback more than he earned for winning the Super Bowl.

First, they break down the theatrics from Tuesday’s House immigration hearing, where Democrats grilled ICE Director Todd Lyons over enforcement actions. New Jersey Rep. LaMonica McIver went so far as to ask Lyons whether he believed he was going to Hell for ICE’s policies. Jim notes the absurdity of her questions and the massive double standard Democrats emply on matters of faith.

Next, they scratch their heads as the Federal Aviation Administration orders a 10-day clearance of air space around El Paso, Texas. But a few hours later, the order was lifted. At the time Jim and Greg recorded, the official explanation was the incursion of a drone from a Mexican cartel. Since then the explanations have only gotten more strange.

Finally, they comment on the insanity of California's "jock tax" which cost Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold roughly $71,000 more than he earned for winning the game. Jim and Greg discuss how extreme this policy is and how these sorts of laws could impact the success of certain teams down the road.

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down the New York Times admitting it was wrong about supporting the legalization of marijuana, the slippery answers of possible presidential candidate Andy Beshear, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass facing little opposition for re-election, and a public official in desperate need of a civics lesson.

First, they’re pleasantly surprised to see the New York Times editorial board concede it was wrong to champion marijuana legalization while minimizing the harms of widespread weed use. Jim and Greg discuss data showing a surge in Americans using marijuana five or more times a week and how many states have effectively flipped sides in the drug war.

Next, they turn to Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear’s appearance on The View as he works to build national name recognition ahead of a likely 2028 presidential run. Beshear casts himself as a moderate, but Jim and Greg point to his opposition to proof-of-citizenship requirements for voter registration and his attempted veto of legislation banning transgender surgeries for minors. Jim explains how Democrats like Beshear try to hide behind their Republican legislatures to look moderate.

Then they groan as the deadline for running for Mayor of Los Angeles has come and gone and Mayor Karen Bass looks like a heavy favorite for re-election despite her disastrous performance. Is LA a lost cause or would it ever boot a Democrat from office.

Finally, they cringe as the sheriff of the largest county in North Carolina miserably fails to state how many branches of government we have and which one he is part of.

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they react to Virginia Democrats’ aggressive gerrymandering of congressional districts, Russia’s escalating mischief online and in space, and New Jersey Democrats once again showing how far the party continues to lurch to the left.

First, they unload on Virginia Democrats for transforming a fairly competitive state into a convoluted congressional map that could give Democrats control of ten of the state’s eleven House seats. Jim and Greg walk through the most absurd district lines and skewer the flimsy explanations Democrats are offering for this blatant power grab.

Next, they chronicle the many ways Russia is attempting to meddle with its adversaries through cyber warfare, satellite interference, and other destabilizing tactics. New reports suggest Moscow is targeting Italy during the Olympics and is even floating threats involving a nuclear attack in space aimed at disrupting Elon Musk’s Starlink network.

Finally, they dissect the surprising results in a New Jersey special congressional primary where a far-left candidate is now poised to defeat a heavily favored, more moderate Democrat. Jim and Greg explain why the upset is another sign that much of the Democratic Party’s energy is increasingly aligned with a more radical vision for the country.

Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch as they weigh in on anti-ICE high school protests, the discovery of yet another Chinese-linked bio lab in the United States, and a bizarre Republican primary challenge featuring a familiar infomercial pitchman.

First, they dig into the case of a Nebraska mother who says her daughter was struck by a vehicle during an anti-ICE protest that took place during school hours. She alleges the high school not only allowed the walkout and failed to protect her daughter but used class time to prepare students for it. Jim and Greg debate the responsibility of teachers and administrators to keep students safe, why left-approved protests are treated differently, and how protests should be handled at the high school level.

Next, they react to the alarming news that another bio lab with ties to the Chinese Communist Party was discovered and raided near Las Vegas. Jim and Greg walk through the disturbing details of the lab and explain why the United States needs a far more serious approach to the national security threats posed by China.

Finally, they look ahead to congressional primary season with the eyebrow-raising news that Vince, the ShamWow infomercial pitchman, is running for Congress as a Republican in Texas against an incumbent GOP lawmaker. Vince is unlikely to win but Jim struggles to figure out what supposedly makes this guy even remotely qualified to serve in Congress.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down Tom Homan’s tremendous early success overseeing immigration enforcement in Minnesota, the challenges Republicans face heading into the midterm elections, and Melinda Gates’ telling response to new Jeffrey Epstein allegations involving her ex-husband, Bill Gates.

First, they applaud Homan for restoring order in Minnesota while still delivering results. He says the federal government is downsizing its operation there by 700 personnel, noting that improved cooperation with local authorities has reduced the need for additional agents. Homan also forcefully calls out activists blocking roads in an effort to disrupt immigration enforcement.

Next, they assess a string of disappointing election results for Republicans and what those outcomes signal for the GOP ahead of the midterms. Jim outlines the key issues Republicans must emphasize, particularly the cost of living, while Greg offers blunt advice to congressional Republicans to energize the base and expand their appeal to other voters.

Finally, they react to Melinda Gates responding to the latest Epstein allegations involving Bill Gates, making clear she’s unconvinced by her ex-husband’s denials. While the Wall Street Journal and others argue releasing all the Epstein documents was a mistake, Jim explains why he believes Congress and the Justice Department made the right call.

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down Washington, D.C.’s sharply declining crime numbers, troubling Trump administration rhetoric on guns, and House Democrats refusing to expel a colleague facing serious corruption charges.

First, they welcome new data showing January crime rates in the nation’s capital are significantly lower than a year ago across most major categories. Jim and Greg dig into how much credit belongs to the temporary federalization of the D.C. police force and deployment of the National Guard, and how much may be due to other factors.

Next, they push back on comments from U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro, who warned that anyone bringing a gun into D.C. is going to jail. While Pirro later clarified that firearms must be registered with the city. Jim and Greg still find that problematic and the wrong focus of efforts to curb crime.

Finally, they react as House Democrats refuse to expel Florida Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, who is charged with stealing federal disaster relief funds to finance her campaign. Even after a blistering House Ethics Committee report, Democrats insist they won’t act unless she’s convicted. Is that the right standard?

Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they recoil at Vogue’s absurdly fawning profile of California Gov. Gavin Newsom, unpack new revelations from the latest Epstein document release, and chronicle the painfully inept responses by two big-city mayors to a few inches of snow and ice.

First, they completely lose their appetites over Vogue’s glowing puff piece on Gov. Gavin Newsom, who is widely expected to run for president in 2028. The article opens by swooning over his appearance and only sinks further from there. Jim says this type of profile is the opposite of real journalism but we'll see a lot more of this as the election gets closer.

Next, they dig into the latest batch of Epstein files, which include high-profile names such as Bill Gates and Richard Branson. Many of these associations reportedly continued well after Epstein’s Florida plea deal involving underage girls. Jim and Greg have zero sympathy for anyone who knowingly remained in Epstein’s orbit long after those crimes were public.

Finally, Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani earn failing grades for their cities’ embarrassing responses to a few inches of snow and ice. More than a week later, many streets are barely passable, trash is piling up, and numerous D.C.-area schools are still closed.

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down the arrest of former CNN anchor and podcaster Don Lemon over his role in the Minnesota church invasion, a federal judge dismissing key charges against Luigi Mangione, and Washington, D.C.’s failure to control sewage or snow.

First, they react to Don Lemon’s arrest following a grand jury indictment tied to the invasion of a Minnesota church earlier this month. Lemon’s defenders argue the case is a violation of his First Amendment rights as a journalist, but Jim explains why press credentials do not grant permission to violate the constitutional rights of others.

Next, they’re stunned as Federal Judge Margaret Garnett dismisses two charges against Luigi Mangione, who is accused of stalking and murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in 2024. The judge ruled Mangione’s actions failed to meet the statutory definition of “use of physical force against the person of another." Jim outlines why he believes the decision is deeply flawed and likely to be appealed.

Finally, they spotlight the staggering dysfunction of Washington, D.C.’s local government after roughly 300 million gallons of sewage spilled into the Potomac River over the course of a week, and the city has failed miserably to remove snow from last weekend's storm.

Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch as they applaud Border Czar Tom Homan for plainly explaining what ICE actually does and the clear line opponents cannot cross. They also groan as Democrats and left-wing activists keep smearing ICE as Nazis and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani pushes sweeping tax hikes.

First, they welcome Tom Homan’s calm, clear breakdown of how ICE is enforcing the same immigration and deportation laws that have been on the books for decades. He also explains where activists should go if they want policy changes and what consequences await those who continue to obstruct ICE operations.

Next, they scold elected Democrats, left-wing media figures, and celebrities for their reckless rhetoric comparing ICE agents to Nazis and even suggesting consequences for Americans who support President Trump’s immigration enforcement agenda. Jim and Greg also have some fun putting these people in their place.

Finally, they get a kick out of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani claiming the city’s finances are worse than during the 2008 financial crisis to justify the same tax hikes on the wealthy and corporations that he pushed during the campaign. Jim points out the history of Democrats feigning shock in order to demand taking more of our money.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down how the Electoral College map is likely to look after the 2030 Census, another staggering policy failure under California Gov. Gavin Newsom, the Ilhan Omar incident from last night, and the 40th anniversary of the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster.

First, they welcome projections showing the next U.S. Census shifting the Electoral College map in Republicans’ favor. Red states are expected to gain eight electoral votes, swing states one, while blue states lose nine. California is poised to lose four while Texas should gain four. If the projection holds, it could give GOP candidates an easier path to the White House starting n 2032.

Next, they react in disbelief to a $236 million California program meant to help mentally ill individuals cycling through homelessness and jail that has reportedly helped just 22 people. Gov. Gavin Newsom insists the number is higher, but even generous estimates point to a massive failure and another example of ineffective governance in deep-blue states.

Then, they discuss Rep. Ilhan Omar being confronted and having liquid squirted on her during a public forum Tuesday night. Omar was not seriously harmed and completed the event.

Finally, Jim and Greg reflect on 40 years since the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded shortly after liftoff in 1986, sharing where they were when it happened and how it became their generation’s defining national tragedy until the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they welcome the arrival of some sanity and some protection for immigration officials in Minnesota, examine Democrats’ push to shut down the government over ICE despite one glaring flaw, and react to a bizarre NYPD investigation involving a raccoon.

First, they’re pleasantly surprised to see local law enforcement finally break up protests outside a hotel where immigration agents are believed to be staying. It’s a welcome shift that may stem from President Trump’s calls with Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey. But Greg also notes Walz's very slippery language when claiming he's always cooperated in handing over criminals to ICE.

Next, they roll their eyes, as Democrats seem determined to shut down the federal government again with another deadline looming. The Democrats are refusing to fund ICE but Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman is pointing out that shutting down the government won't shut down ICE. So it it would just be another political stunt.

Finally, they end on a lighter note by highlighting an NYPD officer placed on modified duty while an investigation proceeds into his fatal shooting of a raccoon that was allegedly attacking people. Greg explains why he hates raccoons, and both question the wisdom of spending time and resources probing something so trivial.

Join Jim and Greg on the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down Saturday’s fatal Minnesota shooting involving federal immigration agents & President Trump’s frustration with the Homeland Security response, Gov. Tim Walz making everything worse by comparing immigration officials to the Nazis, and the despicable Slate attack on Second Lady Usha Vance.

First, they piece together the facts surrounding the Customs and Border Protection-involved shooting of anti-ICE protester Alex Pretti in Minneapolis and some of the bad decisions Pretti made that morning. They also highlight clearly incorrect statements from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem that ascribed sinister motives to Pretti. President Trump appears unhappy with het response and is putting Border Czar Tom Homan in charge of the operation.

Next, they unload on Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz for comparing illegal immigrants fearing arrest and deportation by immigration officials to Anne Frank hiding from the Nazis. Jim and Greg argue this reckless and historically ignorant comparison only inflames tensions by equating lawful federal agents with history’s greatest monsters.

Finally, they hammer a Slate author for her ugly, unhinged essay ripping Second Lady Usha Vance for having another baby with Vice President JD Vance. Jim comments on the unhealthy obsession many seem to have with the Vance marriage and other high-profile political couples.

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they examine the arrests tied to Sunday’s anti-ICE protest at a Minnesota church, the Trump administration's new TikTok deal that does not comply with the TikTok ban, the San Francisco 49ers’ unusual investigation into this season’s rash of injuries, and a major winter storm bearing down on millions of Americans.

First, they applaud Attorney General Pam Bondi and the FBI for arresting three figures central to the horrific anti-ICE protests that barged into Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, on Sunday. The list includes William Kelly, who berated churchgoers, and is a serial harasser of Christians in multiple cities.

They also groan as the Trump administration’s new arrangement for TikTok still leaves ByteDance with nearly 20 percent control of the company. Federal law requires a full divestment from any firm tied to the Chinese Communist Party. With ByteDance still involved, it's increasingly unlikely that pro-China and anti-U.S. propaganda will disappear from users’ feeds anytime soon.

Then, they dig into the San Francisco 49ers launching an investigation into whether an electrical substation near their stadium and practice facility could be connected to the unusually high number of injuries suffered by key players this season.

Finally, they brace for the snow & ice storm head for much of the South and the East Coast this weekend.

Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch as they dive into a rare bipartisan vote to hold Bill and Hillary Clinton in contempt of Congress, House Democrats openly pledging to pursue impeachment of President Donald Trump if they retake the majority, and former Obama Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel calling for mandatory retirement of federal officials at age 75.

First, they consider Emanuel's call for mandatory government retirements at age 75. Jim and Greg have chronicled the obvious declines of Joe Biden and Dianne Feinstein and see why this proposed constitutional amendment is being floated, but should it also be mandatory for perfectly sharp people like 77-year-old Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas? They also discuss rumors Emanuel may run for president in 2028.

Next, they applaud the House Oversight Committee for holding Bill and Hillary Clinton in contempt of Congress. Surprisingly, nine Democrats joined Republicans in holding Bill Clinton in contempt, while three did so for Hillary. These are far-left Democrats, so why did they break ranks? Jim and Greg have some ideas.

Finally, while their midterm campaigns will likely focus on affordability, multiple Democrats in Congress are already admitting that if they win back the House majority this year, impeaching President Donald Trump will be at the very top of their agenda.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they dive into Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s very curious defense of restricting the Second Amendment, decoy operations to lure anti-ICE protesters away from actual raids, and Tucker Carlson claiming it would be good for Iran to have nuclear weapons.

First, they scratch their heads as Justice Jackson cites laws preventing black people from exercising their Second Amendment rights in the Jim Crow south as a precedent for siding with Hawaii's new, strict gun control laws. Thankfully, Justice Sam Alito was there to provide some much needed sanity.

Next, they get a kick out of Blue Lives Matter claiming it ran decoy operations in nine states to draw anti-ICE demonstrators away from real enforcement actions, freeing agents to do their jobs. They also highlight 3 Martini Lunch guest Michele Tafoya announcing her bid for the U.S. Senate in Minnesota.

Finally, they just shake their heads as Tucker Carlson contends that it would be good for Iran to have nuclear weapons because it could help stabilize the region, much like North Korean nukes have supposedly done in that part of the world, and that it would keep the U.S. and Israel from meddling so much in the Middle East. Jim has plenty to say about Tucker's spiraling deeper into utter nonsense.

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch. Today, they dissect EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin's answer to a reporter struggling with simple economics, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison arguing that a federal law against disrupting religious freedom at a place of worship does not apply to what happened on Sunday, and President Trump's very odd tactics in trying to acquire Greenland.

First, they applaud Zeldin for keeping a straight face and giving a very clear explanation when a reporter asked how making American vehicles more affordable would be good for American auto workers. It's also a good reminder that far fewer people than we realize are taught the fundamentals of how an economy works.

Next, they groan as Attorney General Ellison says the FACE Act only applies to restricting demonstrations outside abortion facilities and not disrupting worship services. But the law in question specifically outlaws what happened on Sunday. So is Ellison clueless or just not interested in prosecuting the criminal acts of his political allies?

Finally, they react to President Trump demanding control of Greenland and telling Norway’s prime minister that missing out on the Nobel Peace Prize pushed him toward a more aggressive approach in dealing with Denmark. But is this strategy accomplishing anything, or is it just antagonizing other members of NATO?

Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss Don Lemon and radical anti-ICE activists disrupting Christian church services, Iran’s regime refusing to pause the slaughter of demonstrators, and the stunning questions the Harris campaign reportedly asked Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro.

First, they unload on the lunatics from the Racial Justice Network who barged into Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, claiming one of the pastors also works for ICE. Jim and Greg chronicle the chaos, explain why the stunt was a blatant violation of the church's constitutional rights, and examine how far Don Lemon has fallen in attaching himself to this kind of spectacle.

Next, they report on the head of Iran’s judiciary declaring that demonstrators opposing the regime are “terrorists” who will be sentenced and punished swiftly. Terrorism is punishable by death in Iran. There are also multiple reports of rising death tolls. Will evidence that the killings have not stopped have an impact on President Trump?

Finally, they react to Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro claiming that the Harris campaign asked him whether he was an Israeli agent or had been in contact with one. This is just the latest revelation demonstrating that one of the weakest presidential candidates in recent memory was even worse than we thought.

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they close out the week examining new polling across the Western Hemisphere showing overwhelming approval for the removal of Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro, California Gov. Gavin Newsom's obscene levels of spending with mostly failure to show for it, and Virginia Democrats taking power and immediately advancing their radical agenda.

First, they welcome polling from throughout Latin America showing broad support for Maduro being ousted from power. In some places, the margin is more than 60 percent and even Mexico, which had the lowest approval for Maduro's ouster, still approved by 12 percent. But the big question about Venezuela remains - what comes next?

Next, they shake their heads as Gov. Newsom submits a nearly $350 billion budget for his final year in office, a massive increase from when he first took office. Jim lists many different economic categories in which California ranks among the worst states despite having so many natural advantages.

Finally, Jim and Greg cringe as Virginia Democrats open their legislative session by pushing the radical agenda many feared was coming. At the top of the list is a constitutional amendment to enshrine abortion with no exceptions. They also thank outgoing Gov. Glenn Youngkin for four years of relative sanity before he leaves office tomorrow and the onslaught of awful legislation ramps up.

Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch as they consider President Trump seemingly backing away from taking action against Iran, more violence aimed at federal agents in Minneapolis while Gov. Tim Walz makes things worse again, and a lefty OBGYN can't tell Congress whether man can get pregnant.

First, they're concerned as President Trump seems to accept the word of Iran or its intermediaries that the regime is no longer killing people in the streets or planning to carry out executions. Is there any evidence this is true? After promising the Iranian protesters that "help is on the way," has Trump changed his mind or the Iranian mullahs in for a surprise?

Next, they document more unhinged violence against federal agents in Minneapolis, where an ICE agent was attacked by an illegal immigrant and others who joined the fight, and a mob ripped a gun case out of a federal vehicle. Meanwhile, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz continues to demonize ICE, further inflaming an already volatile situation.

Then, they marvel as an OBGYN at a U.S. Senate hearing repeatedly refuses to answer whether men can get pregnant, hiding behind identity politics instead of stating basic biological facts.

Finally, as longtime fans of the TV show 24, Jim and Greg briefly react to the recent arrest of series star Kiefer Sutherland and the details surrounding the incident.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they react to a lefty lawyer failing to define what a woman is to the Supreme Court, Michigan election officials refusing to clean up voter rolls, and new reports suggesting the mystery behind Havana Syndrome may finally be solved.

First, they zero in on an ACLU lawyer who failed to define “girl,” “woman,” “man,” or “boy” when questioned by Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito during oral arguments over whether boys should be allowed to play girls' sports if they identify as girls. Jim says laws need to be precise and the left's arguments are always ambiguous and shifting.

Next, Jim and Greg shake their heads at Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson’s office refusing to assist the Macomb County clerk in removing non-citizens from the voter rolls. Jim leans on some epic 90's references to explain just how derelict Benson's office is on this issue.

Finally, they’re intrigued by new reports indicating the U.S. government may have identified the cause of Havana Syndrome, the mysterious and debilitating condition suffered by top U.S. military and intelligence officials in Cuba, China, the U.S. and other places around the world. And is it possible we used this same technology on the mission in Venezuela?

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down Democratic National Committee Chairman Ken Martin likening anti-ICE protests to demonstrations in Iran, Sen. Elizabeth Warren urging Democrats everywhere to copy the Mamdani campaign, and Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer being investigated for corruption and other misconduct.

First, they enjoy watching Sen. Warren encouraging Democrats nationwide to embrace the Mamdani agenda of free buses, free childcare, and rent control. If Democrats in competitive races want to openly run on socialism, Warren may be handing Republicans a major political gift.

Next, they react to the Department of Labor Inspector General investigating allegations that Secretary Chavez-DeRemer had staff disguise personal travel as official business so taxpayers would cover the costs. And there are other serious concerns about her personal conduct.

Finally, they’re stunned as DNC Chair Ken Martin not only conflates anti-ICE protesters in Minneapolis with demonstrators risking their lives in Iran, but also tries to draw parallels between the two governments. It's further evidence the Democrats are increasingly divorced from reality.

Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they tackle three major stories: the Iranian regime’s brutal crackdown on its own citizens and what a smart U.S. response should be, Democrats abruptly condemning pro-Hamas demonstrators after years of coddling them, and the rise of the so-called “Karen-tifada,” women who spend all day harassing ICE agents.

First, they react to horrifying reports that hundreds or thousands of Iranians were killed in the streets by Iran's ruthless regime. President Trump warned there would be consequences for such atrocities. Will he make good on that promise, and what would an effective, strategic U.S. response actually look like?

Next, Jim and Greg note a surprising but still highly suspect shift as numerous Democrats suddenly denounce a pro-Hamas rally held in a Jewish neighborhood of New York City. Condemning Hamas is the right thing to do but why are so many Democrats doing this major reversal in lockstep after so many took the side of these odious activists over the past few years?

Finally, they chronicle the reckless and potentially dangerous actions of ICE Watch, a group largely made up of middle-aged or older women who track ICE operations, scream at officers, and sometimes interfere with enforcement efforts. Jim tries to figure their motivation for this madness. Greg reads off the horrific crimes committed by the dangerous people these women are inexplicably trying to protect from law enforcement.

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they chronicle the parade of elected Democrats consistently ratcheting up their irresponsible rhetoric after immigration enforcement-related shootings. They also dive into the massive demand for change in Iran and Megyn Kelly drifting further in a bad direction.

First, they're encouraged to see millions of Iranians in the streets condemning the mullahs who have left them destitute and demanding an end to the current government. The regime has now shut off internet access. Will a violent crackdown ensue, or will the movement just keep growing?

Next, Jim and Greg vent as Democrats from Minnesota to Oregon and beyond react to shootings involving ICE and Customs & Border Patrol by demonizing federal law enforcement officers and inflaming the people they are supposed to be serving. Is it because they want rage instead of calm?

Finally, they reject Megyn Kelly's latest explanation for standing by Tucker Carlson's softball interview of Nick Fuentes and her contention that Fuentes is "very interesting, very smart, and, on a lot of things, there is a lot of value to be derived from that guy's messaging."

Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down the facts surrounding Wednesday’s ICE-involved shooting in Minneapolis and highlight both the mature and the grossly irresponsible reactions from political figures. They also update one of Wednesday's martinis and wonder if Kari Lake is planning a political comeback in a different state.

First, after noting House Speaker Mike Johnson’s comments on taxpayer-funded abortions, Jim and Greg carefully walk through what actually happened in Thursday’s Minneapolis shooting. They spotlight NBC’s moment-by-moment coverage of the confrontation and commend those who resisted the urge to rush to judgment before the facts were clear.

Next, they sharply criticize Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey for what they describe as wildly irresponsible overreactions and immediate conclusions about the fatal incident. Jim also calls out Minneapolis public schools for canceling classes for multiple days, suggesting the reasoning behind that decision is all too obvious.

Finally, they shift gears and address the speculation that Kari Lake might run for U.S. Senate in Iowa after recently purchasing vacation property in her home state. So far, Lake is doing little to end the rumors of another campaign after statewide losses in Arizona in 2022 and 2024.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they recoil at Democrats' attempts to cover up corruption and failure but are glad to see it exposed. They also weigh on President Trump urging Republicans to be "flexible" when it comes to taxpayer-funded abortions.

First, they welcome a day of congressional hearings that expose the full scope of the massive Minnesota welfare fraud scandal and the extraordinary lengths state officials allegedly went to hide it. Jim and Greg highlight testimony detailing how whistleblowers inside state government were pressured and intimidated in an effort to prevent the truth from emerging.

Next, they reject President Trump's call for congressional Republicans to have flexibility on the Hyde Amendment as part of extending the Covid-era Obamacare subsidies. The Hyde Amendment forbids taxpayer dollars to be used to pay for abortions. Jim says flexibility is not even a practical option on this issue and Greg wants to know why Trump is asking the GOP to surrender any ground on this issue when its already making a huge concession.

Finally, they fume as the author of the report on the Pacific Palisades fire refuses to endorse it after politicians and fire officials made "substantial modifications" and "significant deletions of information" to make the LAFD look better in its response to the fires.

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down massive anti-regime protests in Iran and whether the ruling mullahs are finally in real danger, the death of a Republican congressman that tightens the GOP’s already slim House majority, and the absurd congressional quest of George Conway.

First, they cheer on the widespread protests erupting across Iran after the country’s currency suffered a staggering collapse in value. Jim and Greg examine whether this latest wave of unrest has a better chance of toppling the regime than past uprisings, or if the theocratic government will once again respond with brutal crackdowns to stay in power.

Next, they mourn the passing of Republican California Rep. Doug LaMalfa, a strong conservative who died at the age of 65. Combined with Monday’s resignation of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, House Republicans are left with an even narrower majority. Jim and Greg discuss how that complicates life for GOP leadership and criticize lawmakers who walk away from their seats mid-term for reasons other than serious health issues or scandal.

Finally, they weigh in on the chaotic Democratic scramble to succeed Rep. Jerry Nadler in New York’s 12th Congressional District in Manhattan. Jim and Greg roll their eyes as Lincoln Project alum George Conway attempts to carpetbag his way into Congress, while Jack Schlossberg, grandson of John F. Kennedy, jumps into the race based on social media controversy and being a Kennedy.

Happy New Year! Jim and Greg return to their regular format on the 3 Martini Lunch and kick off the year with some massive stories. They break down the stunning U.S. military operation to arrest illegitimate Marxist Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz announcing he will not seek a third term as his government is engulfed in scandal, and what President Trump wants to happen next in Venezuela and whether the remaining government will cooperate.

First, they are blown away by the jaw-dropping speed, precision, and execution of the U.S. military mission that captured Maduro and his wife early Saturday in Caracas. Jim and Greg explain why the extraordinarily high level of difficulty sends a powerful message to America’s adversaries worldwide, and why no one should feel a shred of sympathy for Maduro after years of repression, corruption, and brutality.

Next, they welcome the news that Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz will not seek a third term as his administration sinks under the weight of a massive state welfare fraud scandal. Jim reminds us that a lot of information was already known about this scandal even before Kamala Harris picked Walz as her running mate. And they consider how the political chairs will shift in Minnesota based on this decision.

Finally, they consider what comes next in Venezuela after the capture of Maduro. Jim gives us very unpleasant briefing on the new Venezuelan leader and considers whether the Trump administration can get her to do what it wants done there.

Happy New Year! Join Jim and Greg as they kick off 2026 with predictions for the year to come. In this special edition, they will start with safe predictions and get increasingly bold as the conversation continues.

Jim's first prediction centers on what he expects will be a frequent and disturbing trend as America gets ready to celebrate 250 years of independence. Meanwhile, Greg is bracing for a horrible year in politics close to home as a purplish state shifts strongly to the left and horrible pieces of legislation will likely become law.

Next, they get a bit bolder. Jim focuses on where he thinks the economy will be when the midterm elections roll around a little less than a year from now. Greg examines the midterms themselves and has good and bad news for both political parties.

Finally, they issue their most aggressive predictions. Jim has an incredibly rosy outlook on where his and Greg's favorite NFL teams will be a year from now. Greg predicts a shocking verdict in a case that should be open and shut.

Happy New Year! Jim and Greg are off today but we have you covered with one of their recent specials. Join Jim and Greg as they reflect back on the best, worst, and craziest elections in their memories.

First, they start with their favorite elections. Jim looks back at one from earlier this century that not only brought satisfying results but was also a big boost to his career. Meanwhile, Greg feels old but excited in highlighting one from decades ago that was not only a fantastic night in the presidential race but that was also really good down ballot.

Next, they look back on the toughest elections and one in particular stands out as Republicans seemed poised for a win but ended up well short. But the lingering effects of that election cycle have reverberated in every election cycle since.

Finally, they think about the craziest elections they remember. Is it possible to have an election crazier than one major party nominee and former president getting shot and the incumbent president being forced to drop out by his own party?

It's media day in our year-end 3 Martini Lunch awards and Jim and Greg have plenty to say about how things were covered - if they were covered at all. Specifically, they look at the stories the mainstream media covered far too much, the ones they conveniently ignored because they didn't fit their narrative, and they highlight what they saw as the best stories of 2025.

First, they dig into the most overreported stories of the year, with Jim choosing a constant drumbeat from the mainstream media to help get a truly radical candidate elected in New York City. Greg says the media's obsession with turning every Trump story into a possible scandal is non-stop, but there was one incredibly inconsequential construction project in Washington that they just could not shut up about.

Then it's on to the stories the media didn't cover much or didn't want to cover. Jim points to the scant media attention given to the remarkable educational advancements happening in Mississippi. Greg focuses on the media's yawning over the persecution of Christians, even when Trump and the pope are speaking out against it.

Finally, they reveal their selections for best stories of the year. Jim focuses on the biggest diplomatic achievement of the year, was more than two years in the making, and brought relief or closure to many families. Greg's selection is much more personal, focusing on the incredible achievements of a family friend.

Make sure to listen on Wednesday as Greg and Jim unveil their selections for Person of the Year, Loser of the Year, and Turncoat of the Year.

More year-end awards today! Today, Jim and Greg tackle the fourth installment of the 3 Three Martini Lunch Awards. Today, they offer up their selections for the Best Political Idea, Worst Political Idea, and Boldest Political Tactics for the year.

They start with the best ideas of the year. Jim applauds those who are advancing the cutting edge technology that will rapidly change our world. Greg cheers on those fighting to eliminate the most unfair tax of all.

Then it's time for the worst political ideas of the year. Jim quickly zeroes in on a big aspect of the Trump economic agenda that may well be hurting the president's own efforts to bring prices down. Greg chides Trump for picking a fight with closest neighbors at a time when the lefties there were about to implode. Now we get five more years of leftist insanity.

Finally, they're on to the boldest political tactics for 2025. Jim praises Trump for waving off the naysayers and neutralizing on of the world's major looming threats. Greg gives Trump and Elon Musk credit for trying to shrink our government. Even though it did not achieve all of its goals, at least someone finally tried - something neither party has shown any interest in doing for decades.

Don't miss Tuesday's special edition as Jim and Greg reveal their choices for Most Overreported Story, Most Underreported Story, and the Best Story of 2025.

We hope you had a wonderful Christmas! Jim and Greg are back today for the third round of the 3 Martini Lunch Awards. Today, they discuss the Biggest Lie, Best Political Theater, and Worst Political Theater of 2025.

They start with the biggest lies of the year. Jim focuses on a political campaign that was built on multiple lies and media doing virtually nothing to call any of it out. Greg's choice centers on a statement from a top administration official that led to major blowback from President Trump's own officials.

Then it's time for the best political theater of 2025, with Jim choosing something President Trump does a lot that President Biden avoided whenever possible. Greg suggests theater isn't exactly the right description for his moment, as he focuses on the powerful statement of Erika Kirk at her husband's memorial service.

Finally, they cringe remembering the worst political theater of 2025. Jim points out a prominent Democrat politician who was totally AWOL when she was most needed by her constituents. Greg chooses the very same politician (and others) but for a very different reason.

Please join us on Monday as Jim and Greg hand out their awards for Best Political Idea, Worst Political Idea, and Boldest Tactic for 2025.

We hope you are having a very Merry Christmas! Jim and Greg are spending the day with their families, but we're happy to present an encore presentation of a recent special edition of the 3 Martini Lunch!

Join Jim and Greg as they dive into stories that didn’t quite make the cut for full martinis in recent weeks but still deserve attention. Jim examines the persistent challenges of inflation and America’s skyrocketing debt, while Greg highlights a major Trump victory at the United Nations and new signs that one expected 2028 Democrat contender may be bowing out before the race begins. Then they get a little but more on the lighter side for their final martinis.

First, Jim notes that while inflation is much more under control than during the Biden administration, it's still stubbornly at or around three percent year-over-year most months and it's still making many Americans sweat. Greg focuses on the Trump administration leading the charge to stop a United Nations carbon emissions tax on shipping. Greg cheers the latest win in blocking the left's green agenda and higher prices for the goods on those ships. Jim adds another critical point that's key in any discussion of the United Nations.

Next, Jim shudders as the national debt officially soars beyond the $38 trillion mark and he's especially horrified at how fast the debt is growing. Meanwhile, Greg points out recent comments from Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer suggesting she may not run for president in 2028. That would be good news given Whitmer's terrible record as governor.

Finally, Jim explains how the NFL's desire to reach younger fans could soon lead to a significant drop in viewership. Greg wonders if there is any integrity left in competition after another cheating scandal rocks a world championship.

Join Jim and Greg as they offer the second installment of their highly coveted 3 Martini Lunch year-end awards. Today they remark on the people connected to politics that they're most sorry to see pass away in 2025. They also share their choices for rising political stars and those who appear to be fading into political oblivion

They begin with those who left us over the past year. They both select what they consider to be the obvious choice: the shocking, public murder of one of the most powerful and persuasive voices on the right and impact he was having on American politics. Greg also highlights a dedicated policy expert who fought the good fight against Obamacare and the passing of his favorite Democrat.

Then it's on to a much happier subject as they consider the rising political stars for 2024. Jim selects a pair of figures from a key swing state who could end up facing off against each other in 2026. Greg chooses a freshman senator who already has a strong track for getting things done.

Finally, Jim sees one of the most prominent figures from last year already fading into oblivion. Greg's choice goes beyond a single person to an entire nation.

There will be a special replay of a favorite 3 Martini Lunch special on Christmas Day. On Friday, we consider the categories of Biggest Lie, Best Political Theater, & Worst Political Theater for the past year.

Merry Christmas and thank you for listening to the 3 Martini Lunch!

Today, Jim and Greg begin handing out their prestigious annual 3 Martini Lunch Awards! Starting today and running through New Year’s Day, they’ll unveil their picks in categories ranging from rising star to the best and worst political ideas, plus the stories the media ignored and the ones they couldn’t stop talking about. It all builds toward next week, when Jim and Greg reveal their Person of the Year, Turncoat of the Year, and their political predictions for 2026.

In this first installment, Jim and Greg offer their individual selections for Most Overrated Political Figure, Most Underrated Political Figure, and Most Honest Political Figure.

In the overrated department, Jim picks a guy who managed to lose two elections this year while acting like he was entitled to the office the entire time. Greg picks a likely 2028 presidential candidate whose record is one of repeated, abysmal failure.

When it comes to underrated political figures, Jim and Greg agree on a Trump cabinet member who avoids the spotlight but consistently delivers strong results. Greg also offers an honorable mention to a figure who played a key role in the GOP’s victory in the government shutdown fight, even if there’s still significant room for improvement in other parts of the job.

For Most Honest Political Figure, Jim highlights a Democratic lawmaker who openly criticized his party’s incoherent stance during the shutdown and beyond. Greg points to a House member willing to publicly condemn electoral shenanigans committed by a fellow Democrat.

Don't miss tomorrow's special edition, when Jim and Greg list the political figures they were sorry to see pass away in 2025. They'll also name their rising stars over the past year and those who seem to be fading into political oblivion.

Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down growing tensions on the right following a heated Turning Point USA event, Rep. Elise Stefanik’s abrupt exit from the New York governor’s race, and a Michigan U.S. Senate candidate fantasizing about assaulting U.S. Supreme Court justices.

First, they react to Ben Shapiro’s speech on how politics and journalism should be conducted, including his sharp criticism of Tucker Carlson for platforming figures like Nick Fuentes without challenging their views. Carlson then returned verbal fire and accused his critics of trying to divide people. Jim says the right is not well-served by tolerating conspiracy theories and playing footsie with anti-Semitism.

Next, they dig into why New York Rep. Elise Stefanik decided to pull the plug on her campaign for governor. They also examine how the year started with President Trump choosing Stefanik to be his ambassador to the United Nations and ended with Trump refusing to endorse her run for governor.

Finally, they get a glimpse of another unhinged Democrat running for U.S. Senate in Michigan, as State Senator Mallory McMorrow says she heard Supreme Court Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh attended a tailgate at her alma mater of Notre Dame University. McMorrow suggests she would have thrown beer in their faces. But the rest of the Democrats running are also really bad.

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down what we know and still don’t know about the Brown University and MIT shooter found dead on Thursday. They also applaud a Wisconsin jury for convicting a judge who helped an illegal immigrant evade ICE and condemn Virginia prosecutors whose decision to release an illegal immigrant on an assault charge led to a murder the very next day.

First, they’re relieved the man accused of killing two people and wounding nine others at Brown University, before murdering an MIT professor two days later, has been located. The 48-year-old Portuguese immigrant was found dead in New Hampshire in an apparent suicide. Jim and Greg walk through the confirmed facts, explain that some early theories were not correct, and go over the unanswered questions.

Next, they welcome the conviction of Wisconsin Judge Hannah Dugan on felony obstruction of justice charges for helping an illegal immigrant exit her courtroom in an unusual manner so ICE agents waiting in the courthouse lobby could not detain him. Jim also revisits the outrageous reactions from Democrats and media figures who rushed to defend Dugan following her arrest.

Finally, they fume over Fairfax County, Virginia, prosecutors refusing to pursue assault charges against an illegal immigrant from El Salvador with a lengthy criminal record. Authorities also declined to hold him for ICE. The very next day, the suspect murdered his roommate. Jim unloads on both the prosecutor’s office and local law enforcement for a decision with deadly consequences.

Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down disastrous polling for Democrats and the DNC’s quiet effort to bury its 2024 election autopsy, President Trump’s move to reclassify marijuana under federal law, and FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino’s plans to leave the bureau after less than a year on the job.

First, they have some fun speculating about why Democrats are suddenly backing away from their promise to release a full autopsy of the 2024 elections. Some explanations are obvious, while Jim claims to have “uncovered” a few others. They also look at the the Dems' disastrous approval numbers. But will they still do well in the midterms?

Next, they react to President Trump’s decision to reclassify marijuana as a Schedule III controlled substance, allowing expanded research into potential medical benefits. While the change does little to alter marijuana’s overall legality, Jim and Greg vent about the widespread normalization of pot use and the ever-present stench that seems unavoidable in many major cities and beyond.

Finally, they discuss the impending resignation of FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino after just over nine months in the role. Greg notes there were signs of Bongino’s frustration with the job months ago, while Jim credits him for taking on difficult cases and reassessing positions he held before joining the bureau.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they unpack Sen. John Fetterman’s clarification on U.S. strikes against Venezuelan drug boats, wince at House Republicans helping Democrats push an Obamacare subsidy extension, and vent over the deeply troubling conduct of police and politicians in the Brown University shooting investigation.

First, they respond to Sen. Fetterman’s explanation that U.S. intelligence on the Venezuelan drug boats is clear and comprehensive, with American officials knowing exactly who and what is on board. Jim argues that President Trump’s national security team should declassify as much of this information as possible so the public can hear the facts directly.

Next, they groan as four House Republicans sign a discharge petition forcing a vote on the Democrats’ Obamacare subsidy extension bill. If it passes, pressure will immediately shift to Senate Republicans to follow suit. Jim questions what the point of the shutdown fight was if this is the inevitable outcome, while Greg asks why Republicans in competitive districts can’t offer a stronger alternative instead of aligning with Democrats.

Finally, they react to the latest, deeply unreassuring statements from officials overseeing the Brown University shooting investigation. Authorities refuse to say what students told them the shooter said before opening fire and are openly scolding reporters for asking questions they don't like.

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch, as they serve up all good martinis and discuss the FBI thwarting a major terrorist plot, another conservative elected president in South America, and growing outrage in Minnesota over massive welfare fraud and Gov. Tim Walz’s handling of the scandal.

First, they applaud the FBI for thwarting a chilling plot by the Turtle Island Liberation Front to carry out a coordinated bombing campaign across Los Angeles beginning on New Year’s Eve. Authorities describe the group as pro-Palestine, anti-government, and anti-capitalist. Jim and Greg are grateful for the arrests and are reminded that evil people love to plan horrible things around the holidays.

Next, they celebrate the election of conservative Jose Antonio Kast as the next president of Chile. While the media absurdly label him as "far-right," Kast is a conservative Catholic who wants to crack down on crime and secure the border. He's also called a neo-liberal on economics, which means he's for smaller government, free markets, and deregulation. Seems like a leader the U.S. might be able to work with.

Finally, they discuss new polling from Minnesota showing deep voter frustration with the state’s sprawling welfare fraud scandal. Nearly 80 percent of residents say it is a major problem or the worst problem facing the state, while just 14 percent believe Gov. Tim Walz has handled it well. Jim questions whether Minnesota Democrats will abandon Walz in 2026 or continue standing by him despite the growing scandal.

Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they confront four devastating news stories, including the massacre at a Hanukkah festival in Australia, American service members killed in Syria, a mass shooting at Brown University, and the shocking murders of actor and director Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele.

First, they lay out the details of the apparent Islamist attack at Bondi Beach in Australia, where at least 15 people were killed and dozens more wounded when a father and son opened fire on a Hanukkah festival crowd. Jim and Greg also hammer Australian political leaders for falling back on predictable left-wing talking points instead of confronting the ideology behind the violence.

Next, they dig into the details of the mass shooting at Brown University over the weekend that left at least two people dead and several others seriously wounded. Jim and Greg are also disturbed by the lack of apparent leads in the case while authorities keep insisting there's no further danger to the community.

Finally, they react to the brutal murders of Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele, at their home near Los Angeles. Police and politicians are also struggling to stay on the same page in this case. Despite Reiner's very public left-wing politics, right-leaning social media has been very respectful in response to this horrific news, with one notable exception.

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch, as they serve up three lousy but important martinis. They chronicle how lots of your tax dollars are being used to help the Taliban and its allies, Indiana Republicans refusing to change the congressional map, and Marjorie Taylor Greene trying to cause as much chaos as possible on her way out of Washington.

First, they explain how many millions of our tax dollars are spent every day to help needy women and children in Afghanistan through the United Nations. But there's a problem: The Taliban controls how the money is spent. So their allies get lots of help while everyone else gets the shaft.

Next, they react to the Republican-controlled Indiana State Senate rejecting a new congressional map that might have given the GOP a chance to win all nine House seats in the Hoosier state.

Finally, they shake their heads as Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene reportedly wants to boot House Speaker Mike Johnson before she exits Congress in January.

Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch as they tackle Erika Kirk’s fierce pushback against conspiracy theories surrounding her husband’s murder, President Trump’s plan to block states from regulating artificial intelligence, and why so many people seem horrified by large families.

First, they applaud Erika Kirk for publicly condemning Candace Owens and others promoting baseless claims that Charlie Kirk’s murder was an inside job at Turning Point USA. Although not mentioning Owens or anyone else by name, Kirk denounced the accusations as dangerous, unhealthy, and driven by a “mind virus.” Jim says she shouldn’t have to defend her family from such nonsense but he appreciates her speaking out.

Next, they shake their heads as President Trump prepares an executive order barring states from regulating artificial intelligence. Trump argues the U.S. needs a single national standard, not fifty, when it comes to AI. Jim points out that an executive order cannot stop state legislation. A congressional statute could do that but Congress hasn't even begun to address AI. Both Jim and Greg say protecting personal liberty should take priority over staying ahead in the AI race.

Finally, they discuss the case of Philip Rivers, the longtime NFL quarterback who signed with the Indianapolis Colts practice squad nearly five years after retiring. The news has also revived widespread social media mockery of Rivers because he has ten children. Why are so many people angry or uncomfortable with the idea of large families?

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they vent over Senate Republicans being far too generous in extending Obamacare subsidies, Georgia Rep. Hank Johnson calling America the “Great Satan,” and the mainstream media suddenly embracing Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene now that she’s feuding with President Trump.

First, they shake their heads as Senate Republicans propose extending the “emergency” COVID-era Obamacare subsidies for adults making up to seven times the federal poverty level. The GOP plan does change how the subsidies are delivered and it's better than the Democrats' plan. But should there be a plan at all for an emergency that ended years ago?

Next, they unload on Rep. Hank Johnson. Formerly just comic relief in Congress for asking things like whether a greater U.S. military presence on Guam would make the island tip over, Johnson is now openly calling the U.S. "the Great Satan," echoing terrorist groups and their benefactors in Iran.

Finally, they marvel at the sudden mainstream media fascination with Marjorie Taylor Greene. After years of dismissing her as extreme, reporters are now eager to interview her as long as it fans the flames of GOP infighting with President Trump.

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down why gas prices are overwhelmingly cheaper in Republican-led states, how Democrats like Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker seem to think releasing criminal illegals is a great way to defy President Trump, and Jasmine Crockett's odd launch to her U.S. Senate campaign.

First, they examine new AAA data showing that gas prices in red states are consistently lower than in blue states. Twelve of the sixteen most expensive states are run by Democratic governors, while eight of the ten cheapest states are led by Republicans. Jim walks through all the factors that determine gas prices and why blue states are regularly more expensive.

Next, they unload on Democrats such as Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker for eagerly resisting President Trump to the point of releasing criminal illegal immigrants so Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) cannot detain them. Jim and Greg warn that these decisions put violent offenders back into communities simply to score political points. Will they pay a price in 2026?

Finally, they dissect Rep. Jasmine Crockett’s unusual launch to her Texas U.S. Senate bid, consisting only of a video of herself overlaid with clips of President Trump mocking her. She also argues she’ll win because non-white voters are a majority in Texas. Jim and Greg remind her that a lot of those non-whites vote for Republicans, as evidenced by every major statewide race for more than 30 years.

Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss excellent advice from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to the GOP Congress, the concerning percentage of people on the right buying into conspiracy theories, and the absurd arguments from Rep. Ilhan Omar in response to the massive Minnesota welfare scandal.

First, they cheer Gov. DeSantis for urging Republicans in Washington to focus on the economy and immigration and to bring many more conservative pieces of legislation to the floor that are popular with the American people. Some bills might pass and the others will put Democrats in a difficult spot the next time they run for re-election. So why isn't this happening?

Next, they dig into Jim's column looking at the percentage of people who align with the right and embrace conspiracy theories like 9/11 was an inside job, the moon landing was faked, and the Holocaust was either greatly exaggerated or didn't happen as historians claim. Why is this happening and what does it mean for the future of the political right?

Finally, they rip Rep. Omar for blaming everyone except the actual criminals in the Minnesota welfare scandal. She blames a rushed process for setting the stage for all the fraud. And wait until you hear who she blames if any of the money ended up with terrorists in Somalia. And they also highlight the pathetic attempt of Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan to make the GOP the villain in this story

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss an arrest in the 2021 Washington, D.C., pipe bomb case, the fierce debates over one of the U.S. strikes against a Venezuelan drug boat, and another colossal waste of your tax dollars.

First, they applaud the FBI and other law enforcement for finally arresting the likely culprit behind the January 2021 pipe bombs left outside the Republican National Committee and Democratic National Committee headquarters in Washington. Jim and Greg walk through how investigators connected the dots and why Jim sees this as a win for diligent police work and a clear rebuttal to conspiracy theories.

Next, they dive into the fierce debate surrounding the September U.S. attack on a Venezuelan drug boat. Early media reports claimed Secretary of War Pete Hegseth ordered the killing of everyone aboard, prompting multiple strikes. Later reporting sharply contradicts that narrative. Jim says the administration should have laid out the full story from the beginning, but, unlike some Democrats, Jim and Greg shed no tears for the dead drug traffickers.

Finally, they sigh at reports that the U.S. Postal Service spent $3 billion of our tax dollars to procure 35,000 new mail trucks but only 612 were made. That's almost $5 million per truck. Jim and Greg fume over the government waste and explain how the government is incapable of being a good steward of our money

Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down President Trump rolling back Joe Biden’s fuel-economy mandates on automakers, a stunning new report on widespread Obamacare fraud, and Gov. Gavin Newsom’s push to tax former California residents to plug his state’s massive budget deficit.

First, they applaud President Trump for scrapping the Biden administration’s burdensome fuel-economy standards. The move will likely lower costs and will almost certainly save lives. Jim and Greg unload on Democrats who want to limit our choices on the vehicles we drive and in other areas of life.

Next, they groan as a Government Accountability Office (GAO) report shows that the government accepted 100 percent of fraudulent Obamacare exchange applications that the GAO submitted as part of its investigation. In addition, the actual Obamacare fraud happening in the system is costing taxpayers billions of dollars and much of it happens when applicants use the Social Security numbers of dead people.

Finally, they laugh as California Gov. Gavin Newsom attempts to fix his state’s budget disaster by taxing people who have already moved away. Jim turns to a classic song to underscore how absurd the idea is, and he hopes someone sues the state if lawmakers actually pass the plan.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they assess the political defeat of Aftyn Behn in Tennessee, President Trump's comments on affordability, and a call for Al Gore to run for president again.

First, they celebrate the victory of Republican Matt Van Epps by nine points over far-left lunatic Aftyn Behn in the special Tennessee congressional election. The margin was narrower this time than in 2024, but Jim says this is a solid win in a special election. They also consider the likelihood that the Democrats will be running scores of young radicals like Behn in next year's midterm elections.

Next, they wince a bit as President Trump refers to "affordability" as a "con job by the Democrats." It's true the left is constantly using the term, has no real plans to reduce the cost of living, and is responsible for the horrible inflation jump in the Biden years. But they're also concerned that voters may interpret Trump as simply dismissing the stubbornly high cost of living.

Then, they get a kick out of a small push for former Vice President Al Gore to run for president again in 2028. That's not going to happen, but it gives Greg another opportunity to dust off his Gore impression. Jim suggests Gore would probably seem reasonable compared to the likely batch of candidates in 2028. Greg suspects Gore has shifted just as far left as they have.

Finally, Jim and Greg share the difficult news revealed by a good friend of the 3 Martini Lunch and how you can encourage him.

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they dig into Republicans pushing solutions to America’s cost-of-living problems, Great Britain scrapping jury trials for many criminal cases, and the approaching implosion of Social Security.

First, they applaud Montana Sen. Tim Sheehy for highlighting that the cost of living is too high for many Americans, especially in housing, grocieries, and medical care. In his Wall Street Journal op-ed, Sheehy dismisses Democrats’ strategy of pouring more money into every problem and instead calls for deregulation, health-care price transparency, and other market-based reforms.

Next, they blast the British government for eliminating jury trials for defendants likely to face three years or less in prison if convicted. The excuse is that there is a huge backlog in British courts. Jim and Greg blast the lefties in the UK for this attack on a fundamental part of western justice and point to ways this change could easily be used to punish political opponents of the current government.

Finally, they react to stark projections that Social Security could collapse in just eight years without serious reform. Both parties have ignored the problem for decades. The left will eventually want to raise taxes, and no one will want reduced benefits. Jim says Congress missed a good opportunity to help fix this problem twenty years ago. And he points out one other group to blame for the problem getting so bad.

Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz facing intense backlash over a massive welfare fraud scandal, California’s latest proof that minimum wage hikes only make things worse, and Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett sounding increasingly like a 2026 U.S. Senate candidate.

First, they’re encouraged to see even the New York Times hammering Gov. Tim Walz for failing to stop hundreds of millions of dollars in public assistance fraud on his watch. It's partly because the evidence is irrefutable, but Jim also says the political handwriting is on the wall for last year's Democratic vice presidential nominee.

They also point to new data showing California’s $20 fast-food minimum wage is playing out exactly as critics predicted. The state lost 19,000 fast-food jobs over the past year while menu prices surged. Jim and Greg explain yet again why this policy cannot work but also question whether Democrats will ever learn.

Finally, they rub their hands with glee as Rep. Jasmine Crockett signals she’s preparing a U.S. Senate run in Texas next year. Jim and Greg look at the likely Democratic field and the potential for a fiery GOP primary too. They're both pretty skeptical that Crockett could win statewide or even keep it fairly close.

Join Jim and Greg for a special Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they reveal their Black Friday gift choices for political figures, from lawmakers to voters and from podcasters to a former president.

First, Jim has multiple gift ideas for Candace Owens in response to her assertions of major conspiracies related to the assassination of Charlie Kirk, including suggestions of an inside job from Kirk's own organization and claiming that Kirk himself confirmed her suspicions in her dreams. Greg offers a practical gift for Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. He also has a gift for all Senate Democrats who seem to think that they have to use profanity to make their points.

Next, Jim has multiple gifts in mind for radical Maine U.S. Senate hopeful Graham Platner, who has struggled since revealing he's been wearing a Nazi-related tattoo for nearly two decades. Greg has a gift for every New York City resident now that they're about to experience four years of Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Just so they know what to expect.

Finally, Jim has a gift for Greg and himself based on the very disappointing election results in Virginia this month. Greg has a useful gift for Barack Obama, UN Secretary General Antonio Gutteres and anyone else actively trying to stifle online speech they find inconvenient.

As you settle in for your Thanksgiving feast and time with family and friends, Jim and Greg are spending the day with their loved ones as well. But we still have you covered! Today, we revisit Jim's report from his October trip to India,including how the opportunity arose and why it happened now. He also explains how Indians are currently viewing the Trump administration and the overall relationship between India and the U.S. as well as the emerging threat from China.

First, Jim shares how he got invited on the trip, the significance of the timing, and more. He also goes into detail about the RSS, a powerful group in Indian politics that is closely connected to current Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Next, Jim details how Indian officials currently view the United States and President Trump. Some strain has emerged in the relationship over the past year, but it has less to do with the tariffs applied by Trump and more to do with how the administration intervened in the tensions between India and Pakistan earlier in the year.

Finally, Jim reveals how India is watching China's relentless military buildup with increasing concern, both in terms of a possible invasion of Taiwan and India's own border problems with the Chinese. And, of course, Jim offers some additional humor and flavor from his visit to the world's most populous nation.

As you get ready to celebrate Thanksgiving, join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch. They each reveal three things or people they are politically thankful for in 2025.

First, Jim applauds a reporter who broke the most significant political scoop of the year. And while it didn't change the outcome of the election, it does give Virginians clear eyes on what to expect over the next four years. Meanwhile, Greg applauds the Trump administration for getting it's most important policy priority done right - and almost instantly after taking office.

Next, Jim has some fun and says he's thankful that he's not on the hook for designing secure facilities In Iran that turned out not to be so secure this year. Jim also utters a line likely to shock President Trump's staunchest supporters and his fiercest critics. Greg focuses on the homefront and is glad there is a backstop of sanity to deal with the blizzard of ridiculous rulings from federal judges playing politics from the bench.

Finally, Jim is thankful for the establishment of honorable journalistic principles in a news cycle where reporters like Olivia Nuzzi are taking a blowtorch to any notion of ethical reporting. And Greg thanks outgoing Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin for four years of sanity as we buckle up for four years of dumpster fires from the Democrats.

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they enjoy watching social media accounts purporting to be Americans get exposed for being based overseas. They also respond to Rep. Eric Swalwell claiming that people vote by phone all over the country and shake their heads at still more insanity from Tennessee Dem Aftyn Behn.

First, they applaud Elon Musk for the new feature revealing where X accounts are based. It's exposed some prominent MAGA accounts with no personal names to be based in foreign countries. Also, people claiming to be reporters based in Gaza were discovered to be in several different countries. Jim and Greg offer some helpful tips to avoid getting lured in by these sorts of accounts.

Next, they slam Rep. Swalwell, who is now running for Governor of California. In an interview on CNN, Swalwell said he wants Californians to be able to vote through their phones because it's already happening in many places across the country. No, it's not. Jim and Greg also do a quick review of the Democrats in the governor's race and warn Californians that whomever emerges from the primary will be bad news for the state.

Finally, they serve another martini on Aftyn Behn, the Democrat running in a special congressional election in Tennessee next week. In addition to comments that she hates Nashville (which is in the congressional district) and country music, she would not walk back anti-police comments from 2020. Now, there is audio of Behn saying she doesn't want children, she wants power, while explaining why she believes women should not have children. Oh, and there's yet another example of her screaming while protesting and being dragged away.

Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down the latest insane comments from Tennessee Democrat congressional candidate Aftyn Behn, the confusion over whether the Russia-Ukraine peace plan came from the U.S. or Russia, and the impending resignation of Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, and whether several more Republicans in Congress will soon follow her lead.

First, they’re stunned as Behn refuses to walk back her 2020 tweets calling for abolishing the Nashville police and endorsing the burning of police stations. Video has also surfaced of her shrieking in protest at the Tennessee legislature before she became a state lawmaker.

Next, Jim fumes over the peace deal sponsored by Russia that many in the U.S. and Europe thought was the U.S.-backed plan. Secretary of State Marco Rubio strongly denies that and now says significant progress is being made towards peace at negotiations in Europe. But Jim warns that Moscow has a long track record of violating agreements — and expects nothing different this time.

Finally, they dissect the falling out between President Trump and soon-to-be former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and what lessons it provides. They also react to reports that several more GOP House members could resign in the coming months, possibly in large enough numbers to swing the House majority to the Democrats.

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down a Democratic congressional candidate trashing the city she wants to represent, the escalating clash over Democrats urging the military to defy President Trump, and shocking revelations about taxpayer money ending up with Somali terrorists.

First, they laugh as Democrat Tennessee congressional hopeful Aftyn Behn blasts Republicans for claiming Behn hates Nashville, which is in the district she wants to represent. But Behn's problem isn't with Republicans, it's the audio that still exists of her saying she hates Nashville, the constant bachelorette parties, and even country music.

Next, they dig into the comments from lawmakers who cut a video urging members of the military to disobey illegal orders from President Trump. Of course, they cannot point to a single illegal order Trump has issues. Meanwhile, Trump is accusing them of sedition and pointing out that crime can be punishable by death. Jim decimates the empty and false argument the Democrats are peddling and tells Trump he doesn't have to go nuclear over everything.

Finally, they dig into the exploding fraud within Minnesota’s welfare programs, where budgets that were just a few million dollars a few years ago have now ballooned into the hundreds of millions. Even worse, large sums are reportedly flowing to Somali terrorists. Jim stresses that this massive breakdown has taken place under Gov. Tim Walz’s watch.

Join Jim and Greg for three stories of congressional chaos on the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch, as they break down the indictment of a Florida Democrat, the allegations facing a Florida Republican, and a shocking case of a House staffer accused of staging a hate crime

First, they examine the federal indictment of Florida Democrat Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, who is accused of pocketing $5 million in federal Covid-19 disaster assistance and allegedly funneling some of the money into her congressional campaign. The congresswoman gets the presumption of innocence but this evidence looks pretty clear.

Next, they detail the serious accusations leveled against Florida GOP Rep. Cory Mills, including alleged mistreatment and threats toward women, improper involvement in federal contracting, and even claims of stolen valor tied to his Army service. Mills denies all of the allegations and says he can prove he's not guilty. Fellow Republican Rep. Nancy Mace is leading the charge against Mills and wants him censured.

Finally, Jim and Greg dig into the disturbing case of a staffer for New Jersey Republican Rep. Jeff Van Drew. Prosecutors say she falsely reported being the victim of a hate crime by people who hate President Trump and her boss. Evidence shows she even paid to have someone significantly scar her body in order to make the scam more believable.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they applaud ICE for rescuing 30,000 migrant children that the Biden administration lost track of, Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett absurdly accusing several Republicans of ties to Jeffrey Epstein, and lefties in Maryland pushing a $25 minimum wage that would make the cost of living even worse

First, they welcome Border Czar Tom Homan’s revelation that the Trump administration has located 30,000 of the 300,000 migrant kids the Biden administration lost and never tried to find. Jim also highlights a Pulitzer Prize-winning 2023 investigation showing migrant children being forced into labor for major U.S. companies. Why is there so little political or media outrage?

Next, they laugh and fume as Rep. Crockett accuses GOP lawmakers of taking donations from Jeffrey Epstein, only for it to be exposed that none of the contributions came from that Jeffrey Epstein. If Crockett runs for U.S. Senate in Texas and wins the nomination, it will be one of the greatest gifts the GOP ever received.

Finally, activists in Maryland want a statewide referendum in 2026 to impose a $25 minimum wage through a constitutional amendment. Jim and Greg explain why the policy would worsen the cost of living and argue that if a higher minimum wage were truly the path to affordability, why not raise it much higher?

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they react to former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers admitting a disturbing connection to Jeffrey Epstein, one House Democrat rebuking another for blatant election mischief, and several Senate Democrats already weighing White House bids for 2028.

First, they are disgusted as former Clinton administration Treasury Secretary Larry Summers says he is "deeply ashamed" for maintaining a close relationship with Jeffrey Epstein long after Epstein was known for trafficking girls. Summers now plans to withdraw from public life. He reportedly asked Epstein for advice on pursuing a romantic relationship with a woman he was supposedly mentoring. Jim argues that it is important this information is public and that Summers should go away.

Next, they applaud Washington Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez for leading an effort to rebuke fellow Democrat Rep. Jesus "Chuy" Garcia for announcing his retirement on the same day as the filing deadline for his seat in Congress. This leaves Garcia's chief of staff as the only Democrat in the race. Jim notes that the party that claims to be protecting democracy repeatedly shows contempt for it through stunts like this.

Finally, Jim vents about the nine Senate Democrats clearly or potentially positioning themselves for a 2028 presidential run. He says none of them appear likely to be competitive, but that will not stop several of them from jumping into the race anyway.

Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they dive into President Trump urging Republicans to support releasing the Epstein files, disgraced reporter Olivia Nuzzi getting fawning media coverage for her forthcoming book about her relationship with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and James Carville vowing that Democrats will add four seats to the U.S. Supreme Court if they sweep the 2028 elections.

First, they welcome President Trump reversing himself and supporting the Epstein files becoming public. They discuss why Trump is likely doing this after opposing the release for so long, and whether we'll really get to see all the information the government has on Epstein.

Next, Jim details what he learned from a New York Times puff piece on Olivia Nuzzi and her “emotional affair” with then presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. First, JIm says Nuzzi's story is a textbook example of how not to conduct yourself as a journalist. The story also paints Nuzzi in a sympathetic light, but Jim argues she still comes across as a complete “nutjob.” She also levels new accusations at RFK Jr., which Jim sees as more evidence that Kennedy has no business serving as Secretary of Health and Human Services.

Finally, they fire back at James Carville for claiming Democrats have to pack the Supreme Court when and if they have the power to do so in order to have "a Supreme Court people trust again." Radical Vermont Senate candidate Graham Platner says the same thing. Jim says it's astonishing to see the left openly plotting massive upheaval to our system in order to "save democracy" or something.

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they dig into President Trump reducing several key tariffs, Megyn Kelly's confounding comments about Jeffrey Epstein, and Sen. John Fetterman how criticism he gets from the left is far worse than what he hears from the right.

First, they welcome President Trump's decision to lower tariffs on coffee, bananas, and other major imports from four Latin American nations. Jim sees this as a quiet admission that tariffs have been driving up prices. They also hope this signals a broader push to ease the cost of living in this country.

Next, parents may want the kids out of the room for this segment. Jim and Greg react to Megyn Kelly saying a source close to the Jeffrey Epstein case believes Epstein was not technically a pedophile because he preferred "barely legal" girls around fifteen years old instead of pre-pubescent victims. Jim and Greg are horrified by multiple aspects of her statement and discuss the Trump administration's terrible handling of this issue.

Finally, they highlight Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman saying there is no comparison between the vitriol he receives from the right and the left. Fetterman says angry Republicans call him names, while the left openly wishes for his death. We are not the same.

Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch as they celebrate the end of a pointless government shutdown, blast United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres for trying to silence free speech online, and recoil at how shockingly bad college students have become at math.

First, Jim and Greg applaud the House vote to end the government shutdown, rip Democrats for their six weeks of incoherent grandstanding, and look ahead to late January when this may happen all over again.

Next, they unload on Secretary-General Guterres for claiming online “disinformation and misinformation” are poisoning discourse and insisting that tech companies have a responsibility to crack down on speech that supposedly distorts the facts. Guterres says this speech he doesn't like is hampering the UN's ability to enact its climate agenda. Well, that's a shame. Jim not only defends free speech but points out that the UN should not be involved in this debate at all.

Finally, they shudder as college professors warn that incoming students are much worse at math than ever before. One study finds fewer than 20 percent can handle middle school–level math, and many struggle with even the most basic concepts. Jim and Greg consider how so many young adults made it to college so poorly prepared.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they weigh in on EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin blasting Gov. Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass for their incompetence concerning the California wildfires, housing officials repeating the mistakes that led to the 2008 financial crisis, and Michigan’s “Mamdani” trying to erase his radical record.

First, they applaud Zeldin for imploring Newsom and Bass to get to work to help people rebuild after the wildfires. Jim notes that less than one percent of those who lost homes or businesses have received permits to rebuild, even after nearly a year. They also consider how this glaring failure could hurt Newsom’s presidential ambitions.

Next, they facepalm as Fannie Mae removes a minimum credit score needed to be approved for housing loans. Yes, buying a home is really tough for a lot of people right now, but Jim and Greg recall how giving mortgages to people who clearly could not afford them led to economic disaster just 17 years ago.

Finally, they highlight Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abu El-Sayed deleting past anti-police and anti-border agent posts in an attempt to hide his radical views. El-Sayed once called police “standing armies we deploy against our own people” and smeared border agents as “white supremacists.” El-Sayed is very competitive in a three-candidate race for the party's nomination.

Former Chief Assistant U.S. Attorney and National Review Contributing Editor Andy McCarthy is in for Jim on Tuesday’s 3 Martini Lunch. Join Andy and Greg as they discuss the fate of Obamacare subsidies, how to stop Chinese nationals from buying land near U.S. military bases, and the leftist revolt (again) vs. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.

First, as Democrats demand the extension of Obamacare premium subsidies, Andy and Greg explain how they were supposedly a "temporary" provision during the pandemic and should be scrapped. But Andy points out that the subsidies were another step in the Dems' tireless push for government-run health care, so rooting them out will be very difficult.

Next, they react to reports that a convicted Chinese fraudster owns land adjacent to the Missouri Air Force base that's home to the B-2 Stealth Bombers that that targeted Iranian nuclear sites in June. Andy explains how there is some tension in law when it comes to stopping our top foreign adversary from getting so close to our most sensitive sites, but there's something far more important than the courts or Congress when it comes to stopping the Chinese from doing this.

Finally, they shed zero tears for Sen. Chuck Schumer as the increasingly left-wing base revolts over how Senate Democrats handled the latest shutdown fight and Schumer's feeble attempts to appease the base through this pointless shutdown left him even more of a pariah in his own party. And as awful as Schumer has been, it's almost certain the next Senate Democratic leader will be even worse.

Ricochet Co-Founder Rob Long is in for Jim today. Join Rob and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they chronicle the Senate Dems finally ending their pointless shutdown, President Trump promising millions of Americans money from tariff revenues, and now the New York Times reports how much Zohran Mamdani's agenda will cost.

First, they welcome the news that eight Senate Democrats voted to end debate on a bill to fund the government, clearing the way for its passage. While the progressive left is furious at those who “caved,” Rob notes the shutdown strategy was never going to succeed. He also explains why Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy is spectacularly wrong in arguing that the shutdown was necessary to “save democracy.”

Next, they shake their heads as President Trump promising to send $2,000 checks to low and middle income Americans due to increased revenues from tariffs. Rob and Greg explain why this is not a good idea and how very recent history gives us the proof. They also scratch their heads over the emerging idea of 50-year mortgages.

Finally, they find the timing suspicious as the New York Times waits until after the election to reveal the massive costs of New York City Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani’s proposals for free childcare and bus rides. They also discuss Mamdani's idea of raising more revenue to pay for all this by increasing fines.

Join Jim and Greg for a special Friday edition of the 3 Martini Lunch as they dive into stories that didn’t quite make the cut for full martinis in recent weeks but still deserve attention. Jim examines the persistent challenges of inflation and America’s skyrocketing debt, while Greg highlights a major Trump victory at the United Nations and new signs that one expected 2028 Democrat contender may be bowing out before the race begins. Then they get a little but more on the lighter side for their final martinis.

First, Jim notes that while inflation is much more under control than during the Biden administration, it's still stubbornly at or around three percent year-over-year most months and it's still making many Americans sweat. Greg focuses on the Trump administration leading the charge to stop a United Nations carbon emissions tax on shipping. Greg cheers the latest win in blocking the left's green agenda. Jim adds another point that's even bigger than the issue at hand.

Join Jim and Greg for a special Thursday 3 Martini Lunch! With the 2025 elections just completed, they reflect back on the best, worst, and craziest elections in their memories.

Finally, they think about the craziest elections they remember. Is it possible to have an election crazier than one major party nominee getting shot and the other being forced to drop out by his own party? Well, actually, yes there is.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour host Scot Bertram fills in for Jim on Wednesday’s 3 Martini Lunch. Join Scot and Greg as they break down Democrats’ bigger-than-expected wins in Virginia and New Jersey, Zohran Mamdani coasting to victory in New York City, and several ballot initiatives that mostly went the wrong way.

First, they dig into Virginia, where Democrat Abigail defeated Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears by nearly 15 points, outperforming every major poll. That landslide also helped rage texter Jay Jones win the attorney general’s race by six points, while Democrats picked up 13 seats in the state legislature. In New Jersey, Democrat Mikie Sherrill beat Jack Ciattarelli by 13 points. The wins were not shocking, but the margins were, and Scot and Greg break down what those results mean heading into 2026.

Next, they come to grips with Zohran Mamdani winning the New York City mayor's race by taking comfort that Andrew Cuomo won't be mayor. They also highlight some very ominous indications of what's to come from Mamdani's victory speech. Dems will undoubtedly try to mimic his smiley socialism in some parts of the country next year. Are Republicans ready to fight it?

Finally, they analyze key ballot measures across the country, including strong conservative victories in Texas protecting parental rights and requiring proof of citizenship to vote. But not all results went the right way, as Gavin Newsom’s gerrymander gimmick passed easily in California, and Colorado voters approved a tax hike on the wealthy to fund free school meals.

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday edition of the 3 Martini Lunch as they reflect on the legacy of the late former Vice President Dick Cheney, slam former Attorney General Eric Holder for trying to undermine the Supreme Court, and highlight more deranged behavior from the left, this time targeting Montana Sen. Tim Sheehy.

First, they examine the long and influential career of Dick Cheney, from his early days in the Ford administration to serving as Defense Secretary during the Gulf War and later as one of the most consequential vice presidents in U.S. history. There will be considerable debate on the right over his legacy in the Iraq War and his endorsement of Kamala Harris in 2024. Jim also tells us about a special dinner he had with the Cheneys shortly after the 2004 election.

Next, they slam former Attorney General Eric Holder for his latest comments clearly aimed at delegitimizing the U.S. Supreme Court, all because he's frustrated by the right-leaning decisions coming from the court. Holder is also among the people urging Democrats to gerrymander their congressional even more heading into the 2026 midterms

Finally, they recoil at the vile voicemail left for Sen. Sheehy by a woman who is running for local office in Montana. In the message, she hopes Sheehy contracts pancreatic cancer and dies quickly because he supported the GOP's One Big Beautiful Bill. Jim says after Charlie Kirk's murder, the Jay Jones scandal, and now this, there are a lot of people becoming detached from reality over politics.

Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they dissect a brutal ad to close out the New Jersey governor's race, college students strongly preferring socialism to capitalism, and more drama from South Carolina Rep. Nancy Mace as she runs for governor.

First, they dissect Republican Jack Ciattarelli’s brutal closing ad in the New Jersey governor’s race, which spotlights Democrat Mikie Sherrill struggling to name a single legislative priority. Ciattarelli came much closer than expected in 2021. Can he pull off the win tomorrow?

Next, they react to a disturbing new poll showing that 67 percent of college students have a positive or neutral view of socialism, while only 40 percent feel the same about capitalism. Jim offers an explanation as to why so many young lefties blame the system for their frustrations. It must be the system because it can't be a consequence of their own choices, right?

Finally, they groan as Nancy Mace stirs up more controversy by allegedly berating two airport police officers for not meeting her at the curb to escort her to her gate. Mace is great at attracting attention. But as she runs for governor, are South Carolina voters really going to vote for all of her personal drama to be on regular display in the highest office in the state?

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they wrap up the week with some nuclear-grade political stories, including Trump’s push to restart nuclear testing, his call for Republicans to eliminate the filibuster, and a sharp debate over conservative criticism of Tucker Carlson.

First, they dig into President Trump’s call to resume U.S. nuclear testing, which hasn’t occurred since 1992 and is banned under international agreements. But Jim says there is reason to believe other nations are already doing it and threatening to do it ourselves might get them to change course.

Next, they react to Trump's call for an end to the Senate filibuster in order to reopen the government and move his agenda forward. Even if the GOP had the votes to do this, would it be a wise move or simply set the stage for a lot of horrible things to become law whenever Democrats control Congress and the White House again?

Finally, Jim sounds off on Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts publicly demanding an end to criticism from the right for Tucker Carlson's friendly platforming of odious figures like Nick Fuentes others. Roberts says the criticism amounts to "the slander of bad actors who serve someone else's agenda."

Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch as they assess the GOP's improving poll numbers during the shutdown, distinctly different poll numbers in Virginia, and Bill Kristol disgracing himself to the point of endorsing Zohran Mamdani.

First, they're pleasantly surprised to see poll numbers showing Americans think better of Republicans and the GOP in Congress right now than they did before the shutdown. Independents are more bullish on Republicans too. With a simple message and many more ways for voters to get their news, the old strategies aren't working for Democrats anymore.

Next, they dig into poll numbers showing a 10-point lead for Democrat Abigail Spanberger over Lt. Gov. Winsome Sears in the Virginia governor's race. Meanwhile, GOP Attorney General Jason Miyares leads by eight points. Are there really that many ticket splitters in Virginia? They also wonder why Sears has not spoken much about what she and Gov. Glenn Youngkin accomplished over the past four years, when Youngkin remains a popular governor.

Finally, they shake their heads as former Weekly Standard Editor Bill Kristol completes his transformation from supposed conservative to leftist lapdog as he endorses Mamdani for mayor. Jim and Greg explain how some conservatives who dislike Trump kept their conservative policy positions while others, like Kristol, abandoned everything they ever claimed to believe in hopes of being embraced by the left.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they dig into the Democrats’ hilariously bad messaging on the government shutdown, China’s chilling fusion of AI and genetic engineering, and Jon Stewart’s absurd comparison of Zohran Mamdani to Jackie Robinson.

First, they marvel at how Democrats proudly admit to causing real pain for Americans in an attempt to gain political leverage in the shutdown fight. It's a cold, heartless message but Democrats are more than welcome to keep using it.

Next, Jim shares insights from Bill Drexel of the Hudson Institute, who joined Jim on the recent trip to India. Drexel reports that China is combining artificial intelligence with genetic engineering in pursuit of future generations with no flaws and who will be superior soldiers. Jim also explains how the ethical nightmare surrounding this plan won't even matter to Xi Xinping and the Chinese Communist Party.

Finally, they roll their eyes as Jon Stewart of The Daily Show fawns over Democrat New York City mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani and compares him to legendary baseball player Jackie Robinson. Jim and Greg document how the Democrats have shifted from running away from Mamdani to a full embrace once they sensed he could win.

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss left-leaning unions now demanding Democrats support the GOP bill to fund the government, Republicans essentially surrendering the fight against Gavin Newsom's California gerrymandering referendum, and Graham Platner's campaign manager jumping ship after just three days on the job.

First, they highlight the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) union publicly demanding an end to the government shutdown and urging Democrats to back the clean extension of government funding pushed by Republicans. Four different pilots' unions are making the same demand. Will this convince four more Senate Dems to switch sides?

Next, they wince as the groups spending the most money to defeat California Gov. Gavin Newsom's ballot initiative to gerrymander the state's congressional map are now spending very little and essentially surrendering the fight.

Finally, they get a kick out of Maine Democrat U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner's campaign manager stepping down after three days on the job. Kevin Brown says it's because he and his wife just found out they are expecting a baby and Platner deserves a campaign manager with undivided attention. But that timing seems awfully convenient given Platner's Nazi tattoo scandal.

Greg is back! Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down Argentina’s strong midterm results for President Javier Milei, Zohran Mamdani’s disturbing comments on 9/11, and Gavin Newsom pretending to be mulling over a 2028 presidential bid.

First, they cheer the impressive election results in Argentina, which give President Milei a stronger hand in the legislature and more time for his free-market reforms to show results. Jim also points out why this is a win for the U.S., especially Treasury Sec. Scott Bessent.

Next, they shudder as New York City mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani says suggests Muslims in the city have been treated poorly, including his aunt who allegedly stopped riding the the subway after 9/11 because she didn't feel safe wearing her hijab. Multiple reports cast serious doubt on the veracity of his story but Jim says Mamdani's comments seek to shift the narrative on who the real perpetrators and real victims were on 9/11. Will New York voters care?

Finally, they chuckle as California Gov. Gavin Newsom claims he’ll “think about” running for president in 2028 after the 2026 midterms. His every move suggests he decided to run a long time ago, but Jim says he has one big problem.

Craig Collins remains in for Greg Corombos, and he and Jim wrap up the week by looking at the lighter side of the likely national repercussions if, as expected, Zohran Mamdani is elected as mayor of New York City, examine an unjustifiable pardon from President Trump, and close out by questioning the choices of an allegedly “woke” update to the musical Damn Yankees.

First, Craig and Jim start off with the inverse of yesterday’s bad Martini, looking at polling numbers that indicate Mamdani is exceptionally unpopular outside of New York City, even among independents and Democrats. “The results are grim for Mamdani. Among self-identified Democrats and Independents alike and among voters at large, his numbers are actually considerably worse than those of Newsom, Ocasio-Cortez, and Harris.” And let’s face it, it’s not easy to be less popular than Kamala Harris these days.

Next, President Trump has made an unpardonable pardon of Changpeng Zhao, the convicted founder of the crypto exchange Binance,. There aren’t a lot of large financial institutions that are willing to do work with al-Qaeda, ISIS, Hamas, ransomware hackers, and kiddie-porn enthusiasts, all simultaneously; these are the kinds of guys who usually end up portrayed as the villains in Jason Statham movies.

Finally, in more discussion of musical theater than you ever expected on this podcast, Craig and Jim examine a new revival of the musical Damn Yankees that adds a new racial component to the story, making the main character, Joe Boyd, take the deal because of memories of his father, “a minor league baseball player who was kept out of the major leagues because he was black.” Jim notes this undermines the musical’s original theme that our family and loved ones are more important than the temptations fame and fortune, while Craig observes that the devilish seductive harlot being played by a white actress now adds an uncomfortable implication to Boyd’s temptation.

Craig Collins remains in for Greg Corombos, and he notices a big mafia story arrives, just in time to honor his Italian heritage. Craig and Jim applaud some new Trump administration decisions on Ukraine, lament the fact that Zohran Mamdani looks like a shoo in to be the next mayor of New York City, and marvel at a big sports gambling scandal that led to the arrest of an NBA player and coach.

First, Craig and Jim note that while it’s been a long time coming, the Trump administration is hitting Russian oil giants Rosneft and Lukoil with new sanctions, cutting off the Russian firms from American banking systems and financial institutions, essentially barring them from operating in U.S. dollars. Trump is finally getting wise to the fact that all of his seemingly good conversations with Vladimir Putin never seem to results in Putin’s policies.

Next, President Trump doesn’t see any way that anyone can beat Zohran Mamdani in the New York City mayor’s race, and there’s not a lot of evidence to counter the president’s conclusion. In a year where a lot has gone right for the GOP, a major frustration is that no argument about Mamdani’s extremism on everything from economics to policing to geopolitics has seemed to get traction.

Finally, the Portland Trail Blazers face a tough lineup of opponents this year – the Warriors, the Lakers, and the FBI. The Bureau announced that it had arrested Blazers coach Chauncey Billups and Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier as part of a pair of wide-ranging investigations related to illegal sports betting and rigged poker games backed by the Mafia. Jim and Craig acknowledge that while sports gambling is wildly popular, particularly among young men, the temptations and dangers of widespread legal sports gambling were predictable.

(00:06:42) BAD: No, the president of the United States cannot order the U.S. Department of Justice to compensate him $230 million

Craig Collins fills in for Greg Corombos today. Here are your martinis of the day!

GOOD: There are much bigger factors in the outcome of a midterm election cycle beyond fundraising, but... this is a pretty big advantage for the GOP.

The Republican National Committee heads into the year before the midterm election with a significantly bigger bank balance than the Democratic National Committee, a reflection of the GOP’s dominance in Washington and the minority party’s ongoing struggles.

The gap is a warning sign for Democrats as some of their donors remain skeptical of the party’s direction and of whether there is a viable plan to win again.

At one point earlier this year, the DNC reached out to big donors to host a San Francisco-area fundraiser headlined by former Vice President Kamala Harris. Most of the donors rejected the request, according to several people familiar with the conversations.

Upon receiving the invitation, one replied with a profanity-laced rejection. Others said they didn’t want to give to the party until it produced substantive plans to win elections. Those who declined told the national party they had commitments and couldn’t make it work.

The DNC ultimately found a donor who hosted the event, but it raised less than organizers had hoped.

The latest fundraising totals released this week show the Democrats’ weakness. The RNC had receipts of $10.7 million in the most recent month and $86 million in cash reserves as it started October, compared with $10.3 million and about $12 million for the DNC, respectively.

BAD: No, the president of the United States cannot order the U.S. Department of Justice to compensate him $230 million for past court cases that were dismissed.

CRAZY/HILARIOUS: Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner says he accidentally got a Nazi tattoo. Uh-huh.

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they consider the stunning silence as Hamas slaughters Gazans in the streets, Andrew Cuomo trying to woo Republican voters and shift the blame if he loses, and Karine Jean-Pierre still gaslighting us on Joe Biden's ability to be president.

First, they shake their heads at the global indifference as Hamas terrorists murder Palestinians in Gaza’s streets, with President Trump being one of the few world leaders to call it out. Jim explains why the world erupts when Israel fights Hamas but stays silent when Hamas slaughters its own people.

Next, they roll their eyes at Andrew Cuomo’s attempt to reinvent himself as a “moderate” in the New York City mayoral race. Cuomo is already setting up excuses to blame GOP nominee Curtis Sliwa if far-left candidate Zohran Mamdani wins. Jim isn’t buying it and details why Cuomo’s outreach to Republicans rings hollow.

Finally, they get a kick out of former Biden White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre announcing she left the Democratic Party because of how badly it treated Joe Biden following his disastrous debate performance last year. She also still insists Biden was definitely physically and mentally capable of being president for another four years.

Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they as they have plenty to say about the shocking break-in and horrible security at the Louvre, the U.S. Army’s major push into nuclear power, President Trump commuting the sentence of George Santos, and another California controversy that’s literally explosive.

First, after briefly noting the break-in and alarming security lapse at the Louvre, Jim and Greg turn to the U.S. Army’s ambitious plan to install nine small nuclear reactors across key military bases. They applaud the move as a major step toward energy independence and boost warfighting capabilities.

Next, they rip President Trump's commutation of convicted serial fraudster and expelled former New York Rep. George Santos after he served almost three months of a seven-year sentence. While still a convicted felon, Santos will no longer need to pay restitution to his victims. Unsurprisingly, Santos says he wants to focus on the future and not the past. Jim says this smells like Trump simply rewarding a political ally.

Finally, they tackle the California uproar over closing Interstate 5 during the U.S. Marine Corps’ 250th anniversary celebration at Camp Pendleton. Gov. Gavin Newsom ordered the shutdown due to live ordnance, but the Marines insisted it wasn’t necessary. California Highway Patrol officers report a small piece of shrapnel damaged one of their vehicles when an explosive went off prematurely. They also rip Newsom for his self-incriminating tweet about the No Kings protests.

Join Jim and Greg for a special Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they celebrate 15 years of the show with a mix of politics, scandal, and media madness. Today, they react to standout GOP debate moments in Virginia and New York City, the indictment of former National Security Adviser John Bolton, and some jaw-dropping comments from Don Lemon and Joy Behar.

First, they applaud Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares for dismantling Democrat Jay Jones during the debate after Jones’s shocking texts fantasizing about killing a political opponent and his children. Miyares not only explains why that sort of thinking makes Jones unfit for office but explains why that mentality is particularly unsuitable for the job of attorney general. They also assess Curtis Sliwa hammering both Andrew Cuomo and Zohran Mamdani over crime in the New York City mayor's debate.

Next, they break down the 18-count indictment against John Bolton for allegedly mishandling classified information during his time in the first Trump administration. If the accusations are correct, Bolton clearly broke the law. However, the prosecution is complicated by President Trump publicly supporting the prosecution of Bolton. They also discuss how crimes related to classified information ought to be handled consistently.

Then they examine the unhinged left, including Don Lemon urging people of color to go buy guns for when ICE comes to their doors. And The View's Joy Behar oddly insisted no Republicans denounced Jay Jones but Democrats did.

Finally, they mark 15 years of the 3 Martini Lunch with their all-time favorite moment and appreciation for our listeners.

Join Jim and Greg for Thursday's 3 Martini Lunch as they highlight Zohran Mamdani's radical responses in a Fox News interview, President Trump approving covert CIA operations in Venezuela, and the Democrats still tripping all over themselves on the government shutdown.

First, they react to socialist New York City mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani’s evasive answers about Hamas disarming and his shocking statement that he would “exhaust every legal option” to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he visited New York City while Mamdani was mayor. While some are disarmed by Mamdani's calm demeanor and frequent smiles, Jim says he came across as "shameless" in the interview.

Next, they analyze a New York Times report that President Trump has approved covert CIA missions in Venezuela aimed at ousting socialist dictator Nicolás Maduro. Jim and Greg would be thrilled to see Maduro go, but Jim warns that there better be a clear plan on what comes next after our recent efforts at installing governments in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Finally, they highlight House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries' cringeworthy attempt to blame the government shutdown on House Republicans. They also look at new polling showing that voters blame both parties for the shutdown. And will Democrats fold after their big anti-Trump rallies this weekend or forge ahead in a fight they cannot win?

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday edition of the 3 Martini Lunch! Today, they tackle Democrats’ misleading spin on Obamacare subsidies, the Trump administration’s $20 billion bailout for Argentina, and an escalating Senate primary fight in Massachusetts.

First, they highlight former Michigan Rep. Peter Meijer’s sharp takedown of Democrats blaming Republicans for the expiring Obamacare subsidies. Meijer reminds CNN that Democrats created these COVID-era subsidies and agreed twice to let them lapse. Jim and Greg also explain how this whole fight proves yet again that Obamacare is a massive failure and was designed to fail.

Next, Jim breaks down Argentina’s economic turmoil and the U.S. decision to buy $20 billion of its devalued currency. Will this help give Javier Milei's free market economic agenda more time to work or is it too late?

Finally, they dive into the latest Democratic Senate brawl, this time in Massachusetts. Eighty-year-old Sen. Ed Markey faces a challenge from Rep. Seth Moulton, who bizarrely argues that Markey isn’t progressive enough and pledges to enact government-run health care.

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they welcome tightening polls in the Virginia governor’s race, cringe at Christiane Amanpour’s disturbing comments about Israeli hostages, and preview what could be an ugly U.S. Senate primary among Democrats in Maine.

First, they break down new polling showing Republican Winsome Earle-Sears cutting Democrat Abigail Spanberger’s lead to less than three points. The momentum shift comes after revelations that Democratic attorney general nominee Jay Jones sent violent text messages about murdering political opponents and wishing harm on their children. The same poll shows GOP Attorney General Jason Miyares up nearly six points over Jones. Jim unloads on Jones for acting like a "psychopath" toward the opposing party, but he's not sure it will be enough to push Republicans to victory.

Next, they wince as CNN's Christiane Amanpour suggests Israeli hostages were treated better than people in Gaza during the recent war. She later issued an on-camera apology, but Jim is disgusted that Amanpour could not hide her disdain for Israel for even one day.

Finally, they turn to Maine, where Gov. Janet Mills is entering the U.S. Senate race to challenge Republican Sen. Susan Collins. Mills is leaning heavily on her brief defiance of President Trump over gender policies. Meanwhile, a big primary fight among Democrats could be coming. The 77-year-old Mills faces veteran Graham Platner, who is enthusiastically endorsed by Bernie Sanders.

Join Jim and Greg for the Columbus Day 3 Martini Lunch as they rejoice with the freed Israeli hostages. They also examine some serious Democrat hypocrisy over the government shutdown and shake their heads at the people wanting credit for Trump's Middle East deal.

First, they are thrilled and relieved that the 20 living Israeli hostages are now free from Hamas captivity. It's a day that many feared would never come. Jim explains why this is the best day of President Trump's second term so far and what he thinks finally got all parties to yes on Trump's plan.

Next, they applaud Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan for exposing the shutdown hypocrisy of Sen. Chris Murphy and enjoy Murphy’s awkward attempt to defend himself. Jim and Greg also preview what’s likely to happen if the partial shutdown drags on for several more weeks.

Finally, they shake their heads at the people implying they deserve some credit for the return of the living hostages. From British Prime Minister Keir Starmer to Sen. Elizabeth Warren to former Biden Sec. of State Antony Blinken, it's been fascinating and more than a little pathetic to watch.

Inez Stepman of the Independent Women’s Forum fills in for Jim on the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch. Join Inez and Greg as they discuss what they hope will soon be the release of the remaining hostages held by Hamas, a major economic policy blunder by the Democrat running for governor in Virginia, and a surprising dead heat in the 2026 New York governor’s race.

First, they welcome reports that Hamas has agreed to release the living hostages and the remains of the rest as part of Phase 1 of President Trump’s Middle East plan. Inez cautions against celebrating until the hostages are actually home but credits Trump for getting Hamas sympathizers in Qatar and Turkey to pressure Hamas into accepting the deal.

Next, they highlight Virginia Democratic gubernational nominee Abigail Spanberger openly supporting a 2020 law passed and signed by Democrats that mandates all energy in Virginia must be renewable by 2050. There are two problems with that. There's no indication that will be feasible. And if it is, energy costs will skyrocket by thousands of dollars per year for the average customer. Inez argues that Spanberger is another Democrat falsely branded as a moderate despite her progressive record.

Finally, they break down new polling that shows New York Gov. Kathy Hochul locked in a statistical tie with her likely GOP challenger, Rep. Elise Stefanik. Hochul's endorsement of Zohran Mamdani for mayor in New York City does not appear to be resonating well throughout the state.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour host Scot Bertram fills in for Jim on Wednesday’s 3 Martini Lunch. Join Scot and Greg as they dig into new polling showing most Americans leaning right on key cultural and political issues, media disinterest in the attempt to attack Supreme Court justices with hundreds of explosives, and the arrogant behavior of California’s leading Democrat candidate for governor.

First, they break down the latest Harvard/Harris poll revealing that most Americans want all criminal illegal aliens deported and a majority wants all illegal immigrants removed. Large majorities also support rooting out government waste and fraud and oppose biological men competing in women’s sports. Scot and Greg break down why we're seeing these results.

Next, they expose the surprisingly quiet coverage of an attempted terrorist attack against Supreme Court justices at Washington’s annual Red Mass. A man was arrested on site with more than 200 explosives. And yet the media seem to have little interest in the story. Could it be the would-be terrorist's manifesto explaining why he wanted to kill several of the justices?

Finally, they spotlight an obnoxious interview from former Rep. Katie Porter, who is now leading the Democratic field for California governor. Porter could not handle a few simple follow-up questions from a reporter and was on the verge of cutting off the interview as a result. Unfortunately, this performance is very on brand for Porter.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour host Scot Bertram fills in for Jim on Tuesday's 3 Martini Lunch. Join Scot and Greg as they expose the escalating hostility of Illinois Democrats toward ICE, new revelations that the Biden FBI secretly tracked the phone records of Republican U.S. senators, and new disturbing allegations against the Democrats' nominee for Virginia attorney general.

First, they react to multiple shocking incidents in the Chicago area where radical protesters boxed in ICE officers with cars and carried out hit-and-run tactics to disrupt operations. Despite the danger, Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson continue to vilify ICE. And while the superintendent of Chicago police implores demonstrators not to confront ICE personnel, there are also multiple instances of Chicago police officers being ordered not to aid ICE officers in distress.

Next, they examine revelations that former Special Counsel Jack Smith used the FBI to monitor the cell phone communications of eight U.S. senators and one House member during the January 6th investigation. Scot argues this fits a long pattern of surveillance abuse under the Obama and Biden administrations. Will the GOP Congress be able to get to the bottom of this?

Finally, the controversy deepens in Virginia as Democratic attorney general nominee Jay Jones faces new allegations that he once suggested a few dead police officers might be needed to stop police shootings. The accusation comes just days after his admission to sending texts wishing death on a Republican lawmaker and his family. Jones adamantly denies the allegation but Scot explains why his denials fall flat considering what we already know.

Kylee Griswold, managing editor at The Federalist and host of The Kylee Cast, is in for Jim on Monday's 3 Martini Lunch. Today, Kylee and Greg discuss the Virginia Democrats' attorney general nominee Jay Jones and his extensive texts wishing death for a political opponent and his children. They also discuss the ridiculously light sentence for the man who tried to kill Justice Brett Kavanaugh and the media finally admitting facts about the D.C. crime rate that the right was touting months ago.

First, they unpack the disturbing 2022 texts from the Virginia Democrats’ current attorney general nominee, Jay Jones, who repeatedly told a Republican colleague he’d like "two bullets to the head" of then–House Speaker Todd Gilbert and even wished death upon Gilbert’s child so it might convince Gilbert to change his mind on policy. Kylee and Greg break down Jones’s weak responses to the scandal and the largely indifferent reaction from Virginia Democrats.

Next, they recoil at a federal judge sentencing the man who plotted and tried to kill Justice Kavanaugh and other conservative justices after the Supreme Court opinion overturning Roe v. Wade was leaked. While the Justice Department recommended 30 years in prison, Judge Deborah Boardman sentenced Nicholas Roske to only eight years. And a major factor seems to be that Roske started identifying as a woman named Sophie after his arrest and Judge Boardman was worried about Roske in a men's prison. But Kylee also explains even more egregious actions by Boardman to whittle the sentence down to eight years.

Finally, they shake their heads as The Washington Post suddenly discovers that D.C. police officials have been downgrading serious charges to make crime stats look better. Trump supporters pointed out this manipulation months ago when the president ordered a 30-day federal takeover of D.C. policing, but the media dismissed it at the time. Why won't they tell the truth when it matters?

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour host Scot Bertram fills in for Jim on Friday’s 3 Martini Lunch. Join Scot and Greg as they break down the end of taxpayer-funded subsidies for electric vehicles, Zohran Mamdani’s push to dismantle gifted education, and trust in the news media falling to yet another all-time low.

First, they welcome the expiration of $7,500 federal subsidies for electric vehicle buyers, which ended in September under the Republicans’ One Big Beautiful Bill. The subsidies were paid for with your tax dollars. Automakers enjoyed a brief sales surge before the deadline but are now bracing for a steep drop in demand. Scot points out that despite Democrats’ efforts to force us to accept EV's, most people just don't want one.

Next, they groan as Democrat New York City mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani vows to end gifted education from kindergarten through second grade. Scot and Greg explain how the left is obsessed with equity instead of excellence. So instead of pushing every student to be the best they can be, they hold back the higher-achieving students to create more equal outcomes.

Finally, they review the latest Gallup poll showing only 28 percent of Americans have trust in the media, which is yet another record low. Scot gives one example from just the past few weeks to explain why that loss of trust is fully justified. They also explain how this gives other news sources to win that trust. They also note efforts by CBS and The Washington Post to bring in more voices and more perspectives to their news and opinion content.

Inez Stepman of the Independent Women’s Forum fills in for Jim on the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch. Join Inez and Greg as they explain why the government shutdown gives President Trump the opportunity for DOGE 2.0, how the assassination of Charlie Kirk gives college administrators more ability to stifle conservative speech on campus, Hamas asking for absurd changes to the Gaza plan, and Islamist terrorism in England.

First, they welcome President Trump's plans to cut parts of government through powers he holds during this government shutdown. Inez explains what Trump and OMB Director Russell Vought can do in this situation and how it is long overdue.

They also focus briefly on the Dems' demand for extending Obamacare subsidies. Inez details how the high cost of health care is just one of countless ways the right has been proven right about the disaster of Obamacare.

Next, they revisit Inez's concerns from last month that the Charlie Kirk assassination would give colleges and universities a more plausible reason to reject conservative speakers on campus. The security needs are just too expensive. New York University Law School is proving her right. NYU Law refused to allow the campus chapter of the Federalist Society to host Ilya Shapiro on October 7. NYU officials say the likelihood of intense protests is just too great. Inez reveals why this is just the tip of the iceberg.

Finally, they shake their heads as Hamas reportedly like the Trump plan for Gaza, except for the part about Hamas leaving Gaza and being demilitarized. Inez says it will likely be up to the Arab supporters of the deal to force Hamas to comply. Inez and Greg also react to the Islamist terrorist attack in England, where two people were stabbed to death outside a synagogue on Yom Kippur. Inez reveals just how bleak the outlook is for the UK unless major policy changes happen very soon.

Presidential historian and Ronald Reagan Institute Senior Fellow Tevi Troy is in for Jim today. Join Tevi and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down President Trump’s plan to end the war in Gaza, Joy Reid actually getting something right, and Chuck Schumer accusing the New York Times of bias.

First, they examine Trump’s 21-point plan to resolve the Gaza war by removing Hamas and the threat of terrorism, securing the release of Israeli hostages, and launching a strategy to rebuild Gaza. Tevi explains why he supports the proposal and hopes it moves forward. They also analyze America’s security commitments to Qatar, why it's happening, and whether it's a good idea.

Next, they are stunned as former MSNBC host Joy Reid actually gets something right but in a hilarious way. Reid warns that Republicans want to eliminate income tax, roll back business regulations, and allow families to pass along 100 percent of their inheritance. Well, of course. Tevi reveals why Reid thinks those are dangerous objectives and Greg wonders what other obvious policy positions Joy Reid plans to reveal.

Finally, they review the new partial government shutdown and laugh at Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer calling the New York Times biased for publishing a poll showing Americans strongly oppose Democrats forcing a shutdown. They also weigh Schumer’s political future and note that any potential New York Democrat successor would likely be even more radical.

Radio host and podcaster Craig Collins is in for Jim. Join Craig and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they react to Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announcing new training standards and rules of engagement, young lefties insisting communism has never truly been attempted, and the revelation that nearly half of young people regularly get their news from TikTok.

First, they review Sec. Hegseth's speech to generals and admirals at Quantico today. In addition to Hegseth's demand for elite fitness at all ranks and the eradication of woke policies in the military, Hegseth also focused on returning to one tough standard for everyone in order to serve in combat and getting rid of "stupid" rules of engagement. The left and the media were immediately critical, but are these good ideas for military readiness?

Next, they examine a Jim Geraghty column at National Review on why so many young leftists insist communism has never been tried correctly. Greg outlines the bloody record of communist regimes throughout history, while Craig argues that the frustrations of younger generations, rooted in the 2008 financial crisis, won’t be solved by embracing socialism or communism.

Finally, they react to Pew Research polling showing 43 percent of Americans ages 18-29 regularly get their news from TikTok. Craig and Greg warn that while social media can provide reliable news if curated carefully, TikTok often pushes propaganda and indoctrination that can be harmful to young audiences.

Join Jim and Greg for the Monday edition of the 3 Martini Lunch as they break down the mass shooting and arson at an LDS church in Michigan, the looming federal government shutdown, and New York City Mayor Eric Adams abruptly ending his re-election campaign.

First, they react to the shocking violence at an LDS church in Grand Blanc, Michigan, where four people and the shooter are dead following a mass shooting and arson attack on Sunday. Jim and Greg explain what information is confirmed at this point and which questions remain unanswered. They also discuss the debate over red flag laws.

Next, they hear the ticking of the clock as a partial federal government shutdown looms at the end of Tuesday unless a spending deal is in place. Republicans have far more leverage and the far more coherent argument. The GOP is calling for a mostly clean extension of existing funding while Democrats want to spend an additional $1.5 trillion. And a lot of that extra money would be spent on health care for illegal aliens.

Finally, they get a good laugh as New York City Mayor Eric Adams end his bid for a second term. He was consistently polling in fourth place. The decision is especially bizarre since Adams called a press conference a few weeks ago to insist he would not drop out of the race. Will this decision have much of an impact on the campaign?

Every weekday, Greg and Jim sit down for a 3 Martini Lunch—where the news is poured straight up: the good, the bad, and the crazy. It’s smart, sharp, and never boring.

View Details

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they dig into the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey, troubling new polling on political violence, and dueling allegations of scandal in the New Jersey governor's race.

First, they break down the charges against Comey and the background leading to the case. They also consider how former President Trump’s public demand for the Justice Department to prosecute Comey and others just days ago could impact the legal battle.

Next, they analyze a new survey showing nearly 30 percent of lefties aged 18–39 believe violence can be justified to achieve political goals. More than 10 percent of moderates in that group agree, along with 15 percent of left-leaning voters aged 40–59. All conservatives and older moderates are under 10 percent. Jim explains why this result is troubling for two big reasons.

Finally, they unpack the heated feud between Democrat Mikie Sherrill and Republican Jack Ciattarelli in the New Jersey governor’s race. Records reveal Sherrill was barred from walking at her Naval Academy commencement for refusing to cooperate in a major cheating investigation. Sherrill is mad because those records were supposed to stay private but a federal agency allegedly passed them along to a Ciattarelli ally and failed to redact very sensitive information about Sherrill.

Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch as they cheer upward revisions in the economy, scold the Democrat running for governor in Virginia for encouraging supporters to let their rage fuel them, and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent cutting through the identity politics clutter of the Kamala Harris-Pete Buttigieg controversy.

First, they cheer the news that the U.S. economy expanded at an annual rate of 3.8 percent in the second quarter of 2025, an upward revision from the earlier 3.3 percent estimate. Surging consumer spending drove the gains. Can we keep it going?

Next, they hammer Virginia Democratic gubernatorial nominee Abigail Spanberger for urging her supporters to “let your rage fuel you.” While Spanberger claims it was a call for political engagement, the rhetoric comes off as tone deaf in the wake of recent violence. They also update listeners on the latest developments from Wednesday’s shootings at the ICE detention facility in Dallas.

Finally, they laugh as Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent cuts through the noise surrounding Harris’s decision not to pick Pete Buttigieg as her running mate. While Democrats and the media obsess over identity politics, Bessent argues that both Harris and Buttigieg failed miserably in their past roles and would have been disastrous as president and vice president.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they react to breaking news of a shooting at an ICE detention facility in Dallas, Google admitting to censoring content at the Biden administration’s request, and Senate Democrats holding a very weak position ahead of a looming government shutdown.

First, they share the latest details revealed about Wednesday morning's deadly shooting at an ICE facility in Dallas. The shooter hit multiple people, apparently migrants, before turning the gun on himself. Authorities also discovered shell casings with anti-ICE messages, raising concerns of politically motivated violence. Jim and Greg are waiting for more information but its clear we have not seen the end of political violence in this country.

Next, they dive into Google's admission that it censored YouTube content as requested by the Biden administration, including some people in the White House. Google's parent company, Alphabet, says many accounts were shut down even though content creators had not violated the terms of service.

Finally, they analyze the high-stakes budget fight on Capitol Hill as Republicans push to fund the government at current levels while Democrats resist. With Senate Democrats in a weak negotiating position, Chuck Schumer faces the challenge of avoiding another internal backlash like he endured in the last spending standoff.

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down explosive news about a Chinese-linked plot centered around New York City. They also laugh as the Democrat running for governor in New Jersey cannot answer a basic question about her finances and Britain's recognition of a Palestinian state is not exactly met with gratitude.

First, they applaud the Secret Service for disrupting a massive scheme involving hundreds of SIM servers and more than 100,000 SIM cards—an operation that could have crippled cell towers and emergency communications in New York City and around the U.S. And the initial investigation suggests the Chinese government was heavily involved in this plot.

Next, they enjoy watching New Jersey Rep. Mikie Sherrill squirm as she gets asked a very simple question about her amazingly successful investments since entering Congress. Sherrill, who is running for governor in New Jersey, reportedly made $7 million in investments, but she acts like she has no idea if that's true.

Finally, they highlight the bizarre reaction to the UK’s formal recognition of a Palestinian state from Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas. Instead of gratitude, Abbas immediately demanded reparations from Britain for last century’s occupation, and the suggested price tag is not cheap. Jim and Greg warn Prime Minister Keir Starmer that appeasing terrorists only leads to more demands.

Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they marvel at Erika Kirk’s powerful display of faith in forgiving her husband’s killer, blast British Prime Minister Keir Starmer for recognizing a Palestinian state, and dissect two alarming incidents of political violence where officials seem oddly confused about the motives.

First, they reflect on Sunday’s memorial service for Charlie Kirk and the emotional moment when his widow, Erika Kirk, publicly forgave the “young man” who murdered her husband earlier this month. Jim calls it “one of the most profoundly Christian moments” we’ve ever witnessed in public life.

Next, they slam Prime Minister Keir Starmer for effectively rewarding Hamas terrorism by formally recognizing a Palestinian state. Starmer insists this will remove Hamas from power, and reform the Palestinian Authority. Of course, he also blames Israel for the humanitarian problems in Gaza. Bottom line: he's not helping.

Finally, they examine two recent instances of possible political violence where authorities seem to be confused about motive when the facts aren't very fuzzy. They discuss the California man who fired shots at the ABC affiliate in Sacramento and the guy who opened fire at a New Hampshire country club. In the latter incident, the gunman reportedly yelled "Free Palestine" before opening fire, but officials say it's unlikely that's what caused him to shoot people. Really?

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they thoroughly enjoy Kamala Harris blaming every Democrat on Earth for her 2024 loss except for herself. They also discuss President Trump officially designating Antifa a terrorist organization, and the escalating fallout from ABC suspending Jimmy Kimmel.

First, they applaud Trump for labeling Antifa a terrorist organization. The effort will be complicated by the fact there is not one national Antifa organization, but investigating smaller affiliated organizations and following the money trail could be very helpful. It will also help put the lie to arguments from the left that Antifa either does not exist or is a force for good just because they call themselves anti-fascist.

Next, they examine the latest twists in the Jimmy Kimmel suspension. The Hollywood Reporter reveals ABC faced losing nearly a third of its affiliates if Kimmel refused to retract his false claim that a MAGA supporter killed Charlie Kirk. When Kimmel doubled down, ABC pulled the plug. FCC Chairman Brendan Carr insists he did not pressure ABC or the affiliates to take these actions, but his public support for the affiliates - and Trump's celebration of the Kimmel firing - was very unwise and feeds the narrative that this was an act of government censorship.

Finally, Jim and Greg react to new excerpts from Kamala Harris’s upcoming book about the 2024 campaign. Harris claims her first choice for running mate was Pete Buttigieg but says America wasn’t ready for a black woman and a gay man on the same ticket. She also vents about an untimely call from President Biden just before the debate.

Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down the indefinite suspension of Jimmy Kimmel, Barack Obama’s claims that he never politicized tragedy, and the evil deeds of the guy first suspected of killing Charlie Kirk.

First, they examine ABC/Disney’s decision to pull Jimmy Kimmel off the air after his brazen lie that Charlie Kirk was murdered by a MAGA supporter. With affiliate stations preparing to boycott Kimmel, ABC pulled the plug. The story gets more complicated because Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr seems to have been involved in trying to get Kimmel canceled. Jim argues the government should have stayed out of it but makes clear he won’t be shedding any tears for Kimmel.

Next, they react to former President Barack Obama chiding Republicans over their response to Kirk’s murder while insisting he never used tragedies for political gain. Jim and Greg highlight multiple examples where Obama did just that and Jim shares insights about where Obama really stands among Democrats these days.

Finally, they explain how the first suspect arrested after Kirk's murder is clearly a horrible person, even if he didn't pull the trigger. Jim and Greg reveal why the man claimed to be the shooter in the immediate aftermath and what horrifying content police found on his phone.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they rip into ABC News over its repulsive coverage of Charlie Kirk’s accused killer and slam Democrats for overwhelmingly embracing socialism. They also applaud former West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin for slamming his former Democrat colleagues who attacked our system of government in the pursuit of power.

First, they welcome Sen. Manchin blasting President Obama, President Biden, and Senate Democratic leaders like Harry Reid and Chuck Schumer for systematically trying to "weaken the very guardrails that have protected our democracy for generations—all in the name of advancing their agenda." This includes tactics like killing the filibuster on nominations and trying to kill the legislative filibuster. Jim says Manchin is right to point it out. But are any Democrats listening?

Next, they dig into the charges filed against the alleged murderer of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk and torch ABC News reporter Matt Gutman for gushing about the “touching” text exchanges between the accused killer and his partner as the shooter seemed to confess. Jim unloads on Gutman and the entire mainstream media, which seem to have perfect clarity on right and wrong when someone on the right is accused. But when a lefty is charged, all of a sudden the media lose the plot and just find everything so confusing.

Finally, they're disgusted but not surprised to find that Democrats are overwhelmingly supportive of socialism. CNN is reporting that Democrats are now a net +36 on socialism and a net -13 on capitalism. This is now the mainstream position of the Democratic Party.

Join Jim and Greg for Monday’s 3 Martini Lunch as they call out Democrats and the media for lying about Charlie Kirk’s assassin, criticize Attorney General Pam Bondi for forgetting the First Amendment, and laugh at Pete Buttigieg’s sudden admission that Joe Biden should never have run for re-election.

First, they update the latest evidence in the case against the shooter who assassinated Charlie Kirk last week in Utah and then hammer elected Democrats and leftists in the media who stressed that the parents were Republicans and tried to peddle the fiction that killer was mad that Kirk was not far right enough, even after the facts were painfully obvious.

Next, Jim and Greg reprimand Attorney General Pam Bondi for threatening to prosecute people for their despicable celebrations of Charlie Kirk's murder. She also demanded employers fire any employees who did that. They remind Bondi that public pressure on employers over that kind of speech is very different than the government filing charges or trying to get people fired. Jim says that's exactly what the left has been trying to do to conservatives for years.

Finally, they laugh as former Transportation Sec. Pete Buttigieg weakly follows Kamala Harris' lead and says Joe Biden definitely should not have run for re-election in 2024. But Buttigieg, who also never said a word about his alleged concerns, says it's just time to move on now.

Join Jim and Greg as they focus on Sen. John Fetterman's refreshingly sensible rebuke of incendiary leftist rhetoric, President Trump trying to rally NATO to boycott Russian oil, and New York Gov. Kathy Hochul finally endorsing Zohran Mamdani for mayor.

First, they go through some thoroughly irresponsible coverage of Charlie Kirk's record by the New York Times. But they spend more time appreciating Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman urging the left not to reflexively compare political figures to Hitler every time they disagree with someone. Will Fetterman's common sense doom his bid for another term among Democrats in 2028?

Next, Jim digs into President Trump's call for NATO to unify behind a boycott of Russian oil and impose major tariffs against China until the war in Ukraine is ended satisfactorily. Jim generally likes the idea but urges Trump not to wait if a couple of members don't want to join the effort.

Finally, they roll their eyes as Gov. Hochul finally endorses Zohran Mamdani for mayor. Why is she finally doing it now? What are her political calculations? And how intense is the pressure getting on Democrats who have not endorsed Mamdani yet?

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday edition of the 3 Martini Lunch as they cover three big stories: the arrest of Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin, whether this tragedy will further silence conservative speech on campus, and Kamala Harris’ contradictory claims about Joe Biden’s re-election bid.

First, they breathe a sigh of relief as Kirk's 22-year-old alleged murderer is taken into custody. They react to reports that the suspect's family members played key roles in the arrest and there was anti-fascist" writings on the ammunition. They also rip the lefties who argue that Antifa can't really be a problem because they label themselves as anti-fascists.

Next, they dig into concerns that Kirk's assassination will make it harder to have conservative voices on campus because schools will argue they cannot afford security and the student groups can't either. They also weigh in on the debate over whether people who repulsively posted their excitement over Kirk's murder should lose their jobs.

Finally, they end the week on the lighter side by noting Kamala Harris' forthcoming book will say it was "reckless" for Joe Biden to try to run for re-election. At the same time, Harris insists Biden was perfectly up to the job. So which is it? Jim also notes how Biden loyalists are now publicly attacking Harris through anonymous quotes in response and the GOP should start popping the popcorn.

Join Jim and Greg for Thursday's 3 Martini Lunch as they react to the horrifying political assassination of Turning Point USA Founder and CEO Charlie Kirk.

First, they examine the murder of Kirk at Utah Valley University, breaking down the latest developments in the investigation. They cover details on the weapon used, the ongoing manhunt for the suspect, and evidence suggesting transgender ideology and Antifa extremism may have motivated the attack. They also reflect on the shock and revulsion at hearing the news.

Next, they chronicle the execrable coverage of the shooting on MSNBC. From the very beginning, anchor Katy Tur implicitly blamed Utah's gun laws. Commentator Matthew Dowd blamed Kirk's "hate speech" for inciting his own shooting. Dowd was fired before the end of the day. And while many on the left did express outrage over the shooting, way too many lefties on social media brazenly celebrated Kirk's death.

Then, they look back on what Kirk accomplished in his 31 years and whether this tragedy will finally push the nation to confront the forces driving such violence or if it signals a darker tipping point ahead.

Finally, they reflect on the 24 years since the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they tackle a pivotal Senate race twist, Israel striking Hamas leaders in Qatar, Russia violating NATO airspace, and the brutal downward revision of U.S. job growth.

First, after noting that the Democrats may end up with a fierce U.S. primary in Maine, Jim and Greg break down the Israeli bombing of Hamas targets in Doha, Qatar. Several of the highest ranking figures survived but it sends a clear message to Hamas. Of course, the usual domestic and international voices are condemning Israel's actions.

Next, they react to at least 19 Russian drones entering Polish airspace. Three of them were shot down, possibly more. This is another example of Putin crossing boundaries to see what the response will be. Jim offers some advice to the U.S. government on a message that he wants to be very loud and very clear.

Finally, they shudder as the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) revised job growth from April 2024-March 2025 downward by more than 900,000 jobs. The BLS revised the numbers down by more than 800,000 the year before that. Greg wonders whether the monthly jobs reports still provide much value if they are regularly way off base. Jim offers some practical and comical reasons for why the monthly reports need to stay.

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they serve up three disturbing but important martinis. They dig into a Democratic Senate candidate’s shocking post-9/11 comments, the latest grim polling in the New York City mayor’s race, and the sharp cultural divide between pro-Trump and pro-Kamala Gen Z voters.

First, they react to reports that Maine Democrat U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner wrote in 2002 that we should try to understand the motivations of the 9/11 terrorists because "one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter." Platner was in high school at the time and subsequently served four overseas deployments as a U.S. Marine. But he is also publicly touting his student activism as part of his campaign. He is also strongly anti-Israel and enthusiastically aligns himself with Bernie Sanders.

Next, Jim and Greg recoil at the latest New York Times/Siena College poll showing socialist Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani with a commanding lead in the New York City mayor’s race. While numbers tighten in a hypothetical two-person race, it's not a two-person race. They also wince at Mamdani's recent comments about why he wants government-run grocery stores, when they have a long track record of failure.

Finally, they go through the numbers of an NBC News poll, as Gen Z men who voted for President Trump have much different and much more traditional ideas of what constitutes success compared to Gen Z women who voted for Kamala Harris. The differences are especially stark on whether marriage and children are a big part of being successful.

Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they spotlight three major media stories—from CBS changing its interview editing policy, to reporters downplaying violent crime for political reasons, to a bizarre demand from a disgraced Boston politician.

First, they welcome a new CBS News practice to allow interviews to air unedited on Face the Nation after Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem ripped CBS for gutting her answers in a recent appearance. Jim and Greg also note that mainstream media editing controversies always seem to benefit the left.

Next, they scold Marc Caputo of Axios for fretting about "MAGA influencers drawing repeated attention to violent attacks to elevate the issue of urban crime — and accuse mainstream media of under-covering shocking cases." It's all connected to the mainstream media's silence over the grisly, unnecessary murder of a female Ukrainian refugee in Charlotte by a guy who had been arrested many times for violent crimes. Is the biggest problem calling attention to the murder...or is it maybe the murder itself?

Finally, Jim and Greg are stunned by a former member of the Boston City Council who was sentenced to prison for fraud. It's not even the crimes that surprise them but the member's insistence that media stop talking about her and her crimes because she is an introvert and it hurts her feelings.

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser taking heat from other Democrats for wanting to continue cooperating with the feds to fight crime, the August job numbers coming in lower than expected, and Joe Biden being more clueless about his own pardons that we previously knew.

First, after reacting to Trump urging two candidates to drop out of the New York City mayor's race, they welcome Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser wanting to keep working with federal officials as much as possible to fight crime - even when the current emergency is over. Of course, other Democrats in the city are horrified that Bowser would want to keep the relationship going. So, who do lefties want to stop the most - President Trump or violent criminals?

Next, Jim and Greg grimace as the August job numbers come in at 22,000, well below expectations. Will this finally trigger an interest rate cut? How much are the tariffs impacting these numbers? And are the shifts partly due to illegal immigrants losing or leaving jobs while American citizens step in to fill them?

Finally, Jim and Greg shake their heads at reports that Biden staffers didn’t know whether to move forward on pardons and commutations in his final year because the president never reviewed the files. Most of the orders were signed with an autopen, revealing Biden was even more disengaged on the issue than previously thought.

Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down CBS reportedly bringing in Bari Weiss to have a huge role, Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine not knowing where our most basic rights come from, and reports that President Trump may try to narrow the field in the New York City mayor's race.

First, they react to Paramount/CBS reportedly being on the verge of buying The Free Press for $100-$200 million and giving Free Press founder Bari Weiss a major role in news coverage. Weiss is most definitely not a conservative, but hiring a liberal who is not insane passes for somewhat refreshing in the media these days.

Next, Sen. Kaine embarrasses himself and the Commonwealth of Virginia by claiming our rights come from the laws and the government and not from our Creator. A much more famous Virginian would beg to differ. And Jim has some other helpful tips for Sen. Kaine as well.

Finally, they react to a New York Times report suggesting Trump administration officials may offer jobs to Curtis Sliwa and Mayor Eric Adams in an attempt to derail Zohran Mamdani in the New York City mayor's race. Jim and Greg don't see either candidate (especially Sliwa) taking such an offer and they don't think it would stop Mamdani either. Jim suggests a counterintuitive strategy if Trump really wants to shake things up.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they dive into how the left muzzled common sense in the transgender debate not long ago, Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping’s bizarre quest for immortality, and shocking new polling that shows just how dependent Gen Z is on their parents in the workplace.

First, Jim spotlights candid comments from bestselling author Malcolm Gladwell, who admitted he always thought allowing men to compete in women’s sports was absurd but stayed silent out of fear of professional backlash. With cultural winds now shifting, more people feel free to defend common sense, but as last week's Minneapolis shootings showed, the left and media will still do everything possible to protect the trans movement. Jim also points out a major shift in this debate on social media.

Next, they examine Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese leader Xi Jinping musing about living well past 100 years. Putin even floated the idea of immortality. Jim and Greg point out the absurdity of that and also dig into why they would want to live forever. Jim also says the bottom line is that neither of these guys is leaving power voluntarily.

Finally, they're stunned by new polling numbers of Gen Z employees. Seventy-seven percent say they brought parents to their job interviews. Nearly half say their parents speak with their bosses regularly. And almost 75 say their parents help them do their work. Both Jim and Greg are appalled, and Jim also explains how parents are actually hurting their kids by being that involved with their work.

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they dissect the New York Times trying to confuse voters over whether Zohran Mamdani is a socialist, the online left conspiracy theory that President Trump must be dead, and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer setting a special election for a Michigan State Senate seat 18 months after she knew the seat would be vacant.

First, they shred the New York Times for arguing that Democratic New York City mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani is not a socialist. He's a "democratic socialist," which supposedly means "the closest Mr. Mamdani gets to socialism is in his belief in treating people more equitably." Jim and Greg go over Mamdani's truly radical track record and what the Times is trying to accomplish with this argument.

Next, they take a blowtorch to the stupid lefty online conspiracy that President Trump must be dead since he hasn't been seen in public for a few days. Jim explains why it would be impossible to hide the death of a president and why not seeing him for a few days is actually a good thing.

Finally, they rip Gov. Whitmer for taking 10 months to call a special election since she knew a key Michigan State Senate seat would be vacated and eight months since it's been empty. The previous state senator was elected to Congress in November 2024. The general election to replace her is now set for May 2026, meaning the seat will be unoccupied for 18 months since Whitmer first knew she would need to call a special election. Surely, the current 19-18 state senate split in favor of the Dems has nothing to do with the delay.

Join Jim and Greg for the Labor Day 3 Martini Lunch. In this special edition, they unveil opinions that might catch most of our listeners by surprise. From K-12 schools to college life and from covert ops to conducting elections, they have some ideas and positions that are different than what you might expect.

First, Jim wants to create an organization that tells you what to do but that no one would listen to. Then Greg, while a huge fan of the school choice movement, sounds the warning on vouchers and details why school choice laws need to focus on making sure that money doesn't ever come with government strings attached.

Next, Jim notes how campus living is conducive for forming friendships and wants to apply that to grown ups. Greg explains why he wants to repeal one of our constitutional amendments.

Finally, Jim wants the intelligence community to convince the world that the U.S. has an elite, deployable strike team capable of carrying out any sort of mission anywhere in the world at any time. And whether it exists or not, the key is making the rest of the world believe this "dangerous clique" is real so they will behave. Meanwhile, Greg wants to make major changes to how our elections are run. Brace yourself if you like mail-in balloting, dropboxes, or lots of early voting and other current practices.

Join Jim and Greg for a special Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they welcome Curtis Sliwa, the Republican nominee for Mayor of New York City. They'll discuss the Sliwa agenda, his deeply flawed opponents, and how he plans to win in November.

First, Sliwa walks us through his top priorities if he's elected mayor and how he would get things done with a city council that would not be very enthusiastic about his policies.

Next, Sliwa takes on his three rivals for the job: Zohran Mamdani, Andrew Cuomo, and current Mayor Eric Adams. Sliwa explains why each of them is unworthy of the job and why the city would decline if any of them are elected.

Finally, Sliwa tells us how he plans to defy the current polls, expose the failures and terrible plans of his opponents, and motivate a special coalition of voters to help him get elected.

Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch as they dissect the horrific Minnesota shooting of kids at a Catholic church and school on Thursday. They're also glad to see that a Wisconsin judge will not get the charges dropped for helping an illegal alien escape from ICE, and they react to another weak move from Democrat Abigail Spanberger in the Virginia governor's race.

First, they walk through the details of the Minneapolis shooting, how prominent Democrats sneered at the idea of praying for victims and their families and immediately called for gun control, and how this is another mass shooting perpetrated by a killer identifying as transgender.

Next, they're glad a federal judge rejected the argument that Wisconsin judge Hannah Dugan should be immune from prosecution for helping an illegal alien escape from her courthouse. Dugan's lawyers say she should not be charged over doing her official duties. The judge overseeing the case wisely countered that helping someone avoid arrest or being served a warrant is not a duty that ought to win immunity for Dugan.

Finally, they shake their heads as Democrat Abigail Spanberger steps on another rake in the Virginia governor's race. Now Spanberger says she will end the cooperation between the Virginia State Police and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agreed to by current governor Glenn Youngkin. The news also prompts them to take a closer look at the state of the race and the media's coverage of Spanberger.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they note Americans overwhelmingly see a crime problem in the U.S. and a majority likes how Trump is dealing with it. They also wince as Trump welcomes 600,000 Chinese college students into the U.S., and roll their eyes at the left's absurd "land acknowledgements."

First, they're glad to see that 81 percent of Americans have the common sense to see that crime is a major problem. That includes 68 percent of Democrats. In addition, 53 percent of Americans approve of how President Trump is dealing with crime. This makes the Democrats' assertions that there really isn't a crime problem in our major cities look utterly ridiculous.

Next, they cringe as President Trump says he is perfectly fine allowing 600,000 Chinese students study at American colleges and universities this year. Jim and Greg fume about the American students who suffer a result, and they point out what the Chinese government expects from their students when returning from the U.S.

Finally, they shake their heads as the DNC national meeting kicked off with a "land acknowledgement," where someone explains which tribal nation had the land before European settlers allegedly took it from them. It's shameless virtue signaling, but is it backfiring for Democrats and could this practice ever have much more serious implications?

Join Jim and Greg for Tuesday's 3 Martini Lunch as they dig into how the Kamala Harris campaign's extravagant spending left the DNC paying her debts, President Trump's efforts to force Lisa Cook from the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, and famed rapper Snoop Dogg getting fed up at LGBT content getting shoved into movies for kids.

First, their jaws hit the floor as the New York Times reports that Kamala Harris spent $1.5 billion over a 15-week campaign and DNC had to pay her outstanding debts. There is no silver lining for the Dems from the Harris campaign, and Jim explains why he does not expect her to run in 2028.

Next, they dig into the standoff between President Trump and Lisa Cook of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. Trump says Cook is fired for falsely claiming two different homes as her primary residence within a couple of weeks. Cook is refusing to leave the Fed. So, this is headed to court and Jim says Trump might not have the legal high ground here.

Finally, they react to Snoop Dogg getting mad that a same-sex couple with a baby was included in the new kids' movie Lightyear. It's part of the Toy Story franchise. The rapper and ubiquitous media figure says his young grandson peppered him with questions about how that could happen, and he was unprepared to answer. Snoop Dogg says that content should not be in movies geared for children, so of course many of the left are now denouncing him.

Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they hammer California Gov. Gavin Newsom for his endless Trump-style tweets and failed spin on crime, sound the alarm over President Trump’s push for more deals like the one the government made with Intel, and highlight Michigan Democrat Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed’s disturbing campaign rhetoric.

First, they rip into Newsom’s tired routine of mimicking Trump on social media and his claim that cities in red state have worse murder rates than California’s major cities. What he leaves out is that those cities have been run by Democrats for decades.

Next, they explain why President Trump grabbing 10 percent of Intel for the federal government is a terrible move and a very bad precedent to set. There are much better ways to grow the semiconductor industry in the U.S. Even worse, Trump is vowing to make many more deals like this.

Finally, they spotlight Michigan’s Abdul El-Sayed, a far-left Senate hopeful closely aligned with Bernie Sanders and openly hostile to Israel. El-Sayed urges his followers to fight dirty in politics, telling them to “get in the mud and choke them out.”

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss a New York court tossing the roughly half-billion dollar penalty imposed on President Trump in his civil trial, Gov. Newsom advancing his aggressive gerrymandering plan through the legislature, and a Virginia Democrat’s racist protest sign targeting Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears.

First, they applaud the New York appeals court for throwing out the staggering half-billion-dollar penalty levied against Trump over alleged asset overvaluation. While the civil judgment remains in place, the ruling delivers another humiliating setback for New York Attorney General Letitia James and Judge Arthur Engoron, who pursued the politically charged case.

Next, they chronicle California Democrats easily passing Gov. Gavin Newsom's gerrymandering initiative through the lopsided California legislature. It now advances to a November ballot proposal. In addition, after polling originally showed Californians preferring to keep the independent redistricting commission by nearly 30 percentage points, Newsom's plan is now favored by California voters by more than 20 points. But that's coming from Newsom's pollster.

Finally, they zero in on the Democrat activist in Virginia who protested GOP gubernatorial nominee Winsome Earle-Sears on Thursday. As Lt. Gov. Sears scolded Northern Virginia school districts for refusing to keep boys out of girls sports or girls private spaces, one lefty held a sign saying, "Hey Winsome, if trans can't share your bathroom, then blacks can't share my water fountain." The activist later insisted it was satire. Of course, the media is not ruining the woman's life. Jim and Greg discuss the appalling double standard in how the the media treat people on the left vs. the right.

Join Jim and Greg as they serve up three martinis while repairs loudly continue on Jim's house. Today, they highlight Bed Bath & Beyond CEO Marcus Lemonis announcing why the company will not open any physical locations in California. They also react to the Trump White House starting its own TikTok account and banking executives revealing that the Obama and Biden administrations pressured them to "debank" businesses, groups, and individuals the administrations didn't like.

First, they focus on Lemonis stating very clearly that his company will not open stores in California because the taxes and regulations there are too burdensome and make it far too difficult to make a profit, keep employment stable, and keep prices reasonable. This is another black eye for the disastrous tenure of Gov. Gavin Newsom, who clearly cares far more about his own ambitions than the people he was elected to serve.

Next, they groan as the White House creates its own TikTok account. The move is unwise since the app is Chinese spyware. It's also a clear sign that Trump has no intention of enforcing the TikTok ban that became law last year and was upheld unanimously at the U.S. Supreme Court.

Finally, they dig into allegations from multiple banking executives that the Obama and Biden administrations aggressively pressured banks to "debank" or deny financial services to businesses like gun manufacturers and other organizations and individuals they didn't like. Jim explains how banks should have the right to refuse business from certain people or businesses but it's chilling for the government to try to force such actions.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss a big shift in voters from the Democrats to Republicans over the past five years, Andrew Cuomo expecting President Trump to help his campaign for mayor of New York City, and California Democrats preferring Gavin Newsom over Kamala Harris if they both run for president in 2028.

First, they dig into a New York Times study reported on by Townhall showing Democrats have lost more than two million voters since 2020 and Republicans have gained 2.4 million. Part of that may reflect the huge dissatisfaction with the Biden years but they also point out that people are just sick of the Democrats trying to dictate every detail of their lives.

Next, they scratch their heads at a Politico report saying that Andrew Cuomo is expecting President Trump to help him become mayor of New York City. At a fundraiser in the Hamptons, Cuomo reportedly said he expects Trump and other Republican leaders to urge GOP voters to back Cuomo because Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa cannot win. Jim and Greg doubt Trump has any interest in helping Cuomo and they don't think Sliwa voters would abandon their candidate to help resuscitate the political career of a "slimeball" like Cuomo.

Finally, they react to a poll of California Democrats preferring Gov. Gavin Newsom as the party's 2028 presidential nominee by six points over former Vice President Kamala Harris. Neither Jim not Greg would be surprised to see Harris pass on the 2028 campaign, and they also discuss whether Newsom's constant public opposition to the Trump agenda is putting him in good position to win the nomination or whether his baggage as governor will derail his White House ambitions.

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday edition of the 3 Martini Lunch, where it’s all good martinis on the menu. They break down encouraging signs for a possible Russia-Ukraine peace deal, the federalized D.C. police focusing significant attention on the worst neighborhoods, and the Democratic party posting paltry fundraising numbers as its tailspin continues.

First, Jim is "elated" as the Monday's meeting in Washington strongly suggests security guarantees for Ukraine will be part of any peace deal. He's also explains why Vladimir Putin might be playing with a weaker hand than most people realize. But will this agreement get done anytime soon?

Next, they applaud the federalized D.C. police for targeting the neighborhoods with the most serious crime problems. Nearly half of last week’s arrests took place in Wards 7 and 8, undercutting the left’s narrative that President Trump is only creating a facade of safety around tourist areas.

Finally, the Democratic National Committee is still in complete disarray, more than nine months after last year's elections. Fundraising numbers from the end of June show the Republican National Committee with five times the cash on hand as the DNC. And Democrat donors are thoroughly underwhelmed with the party's messaging and leadership.

Join Jim and Greg for the Monday edition of the 3 Martini Lunch as they have fun with some campaign news out of Pennsylvania and then serve up three major political martinis: President Trump’s efforts to end the Russia-Ukraine war, MSNBC rebranding to MS NOW, and a left-wing columnist calling to scrap the Constitution so progressives can enact more of their agenda.

Before the martinis, they react to Republican Pennsylvania State Treasurer Stacy Garrity announcing her run for governor in 2026. The name may be spelled differently, but Jim Geraghty is hilariously bracing to hear his name a lot over the coming year.

In the first martini, Jim breaks down the Trump-Putin summit in Alaska, weighing both the positive and negative results. They also examine what today’s Washington meeting between Trump, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and European leaders could mean for future peace negotiations.

Next, they react to MSNBC rebranding to MS NOW. Jim suspects NBC News will be glad to no longer be synonymous with the rage fest on the cable channel once this process is complete. Greg and Jim are both severely underwhelmed by the new name.

Finally, they shake their heads as New York Times columnist Ross Douthat interviews Osita Nwanevu, a columnist for The New Republic, who basically wants to scrap the Constitution and start over because we're not enough of a democracy. The guest is especially infuriated over the existence of the U.S. Senate and the Electoral College and wants to pack the U.S. Supreme Court and add a several new states...you know...to save democracy.

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch. Today, it's all good martinis, as they focus on a serious collision of Chinese military vessels as they harassed a ship from the Philippines, California voters making it clear they want no part of California Gov. Gavin Newsom's gerrymandering scheme, and the Department of Homeland Security reporting many illegal aliens have self-deported.

First, after commenting on Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov appearing in Alaska wearing a CCCP sweater, they react to reports that two Chinese military ships collided at high speed as they tried to intimidate a much smaller military vessel from the Philippines. Jim says Beijing should use this as a chance to back off its territorial ambitions in the region but probably won't. They also discuss the mood in Taiwan amid recent rumors of a Chinese invasion.

Next, they lampoon Gov. Newsom’s bid to troll President Trump and Texas Republicans by proposing a ballot measure to undo California’s constitutional requirement for an independent redistricting commission. But polling shows voters overwhelmingly oppose the scheme. Jim also underscores how brazen it is for Democrats to push such a move in one of the most heavily gerrymandered states in America.

Finally, they welcome the DHS report that 1.6 million illegal aliens have voluntarily left the U.S. since Trump became president. This is additional proof that Trump's immigration policies are working. And they also explain how the left and its media allies are taking truly radical approaches to oppose the enforcement of immigration laws.

Join Jim and Greg as they dive into three crazy stories, namely Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer scoffing at the notion that there is a crime problem in Washington, Democratic presidential hopefuls realizing their hard left base expects them to be anti-Israel, and a Florida GOP congresswoman asserting that UFO's suggest we've been visited by "interdimensional" beings.

First, they marvel that Democrats are not suggesting a different wat to fight crime in the nation's capital, but are actually insisting that crime is not a problem there. Sen. Schumer says he always feels safe walking the streets of Washington, but Jim explains that the rest of us don't have a security detail to protect us.

Next, they're disturbed but not surprised to learn that prospective Democratic presidential candidates are tacking more anti-Israel because the progressive wing of the party loudly demands it. Jim and Greg look back at another sudden shift Democrats had in response to their base a generation ago, and point out that a majority of Democrats in the U.S. Senate already want to stop arming Israel.

Finally, they react to Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna for telling Joe Rogan that she has heard convincing testimony from people who claimed to see technology beyond what humans can produce. Furthermore, Rep. Luna suggests this technology was created by "interdimensional" beings. Jim finds the argument thoroughly underwhelming and questions whether the voters in Luna's district could do better.

Jim Geraghty is back! Join Jim and Greg on today’s 3 Martini Lunch as they break down the collapse of a government-funded grocery store in Kansas City, the global rush to wrongly blame Israel for Gaza’s food crisis, and a proven solution to Washington, D.C.’s violent crime problem.

First, they chronicle the closing of a Kansas City grocery store that received $18 million in local government funding overits seven-year existence. Empty shelves, poor maintenance, and a dangerous neighborhood were constant problems. And New York City voters would wise to learn now that government-run grocery stories do not work.

Next, they dig into the widespread condemnation of Israel over Gaza’s hunger crisis. Leftists like Sen. Bernie Sanders say this is 100 percent Israel's fault and Hamas deserves no blame. Jim and Greg explain how Hamas is very much to blame and Jim also points out how the media have no interest in far worse famines in other parts of the world.

Finally, they react to the Washington, D.C. police chief’s surprising unfamiliarity with the concept of a chain of command. As for Trump's recent actions, Jim hopes they improve the quality of life in the nation's capital, but he does not see them as a permanent solution. He says there is a proven method to drastically reducing violent crime, but we need city officials who actually want to do it.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour host Scot Bertram fills in for Jim on Tuesday’s 3 Martini Lunch. Join Scot and Greg as they cover the political comeback of former Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown, furious left-wing reactions to President Trump federalizing the D.C. police, a new poll exposing a sharp partisan divide over pride in America, and troubling consequences from legalizing marijuana.

First, after a quick discussion about Sherrod Brown running for U.S. Senate again, they highlight former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi blaming Pres. Trump for not activating the National Guard before the January 6th riots, the former U.S. Capitol Police Chief slams Pelosi for denying his request for National Guard forces leading up to that day. They also rip Peter Baker of the New York Times for claiming DC has a "non-existent crime crisis."

Next, they examine a Cygnal poll revealing that 63 percent of Americans believe the nation is worth celebrating as it nears its 250th birthday. But the numbers split sharply along party lines. 89 percent of Republicans agree, compared to just 37 percent of Democrats. Scot and Greg try to explain why the difference is so stark.

Finally, they groan over the menace that legalized marijuana is to our society. A New York Times report reveals that weed gummies are sending thousands of small kids going to the hospital. In fact, kids were 75 percent of the 22,000 people taken to the hospital for marijuana-related health problems in 2024 . Scot and Greg rip the greedy politicians who made pot legal and point out the threat marijuana presents to public safety and overall quality of life in a community.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour host Scot Bertram fills in for Jim on Thursday’s 3 Martini Lunch. Join Scot and Greg as they thoroughly enjoy the left's hypocrisy and letting the truth slip over the redistricting fight. They also react to President Trump placing the DC police under federal control and the left trying to regain control over news narratives through the attention extraction tax.

First, they dismantle the blatant hypocrisy of New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker as they refuse to acknowledge their own aggressive gerrymandering. Scot and Greg also highlight former Rep. Beto O’Rourke openly admitting the fight is about raw political power, and former Attorney General Eric Holder urging Democrats to weaponize redistricting in blue states, seizing power under the guise of “saving democracy” before supposedly ending the practice altogether.

Next, they react to President Trump placing the Washington, D.C, police under federal control, citing a state of emergency over crime. Greg is torn over this because he does not like the idea of the federal government taking more control over things but he also admits the DC government has been both unable and unwilling to get serious about fighting crime. Scot says people have said for decades that something needs to be done about crime in D.C. and Trump is finally doing something about it.

Finally, they laugh at a Boston Globe column bemoaning the end of taxpayer funding for PBS and NPR and calling for a new online entity that people can go to for factual information about prominent political and policy issues. In short, it's just another avenue for the left to regain the power to shape news narratives. And this would all be paid for by the Orwellian "Attention Extraction Tax."

Undisputed King of Stuff and Sink the Rising Sun author Jon Gabriel fills in for Jim on Thursday’s 3 Martini Lunch. Join Jon and Greg as they applaud President Trump for securing multiple peace agreements, expose the Biden administration’s blatant politicization of FEMA, and blast a Florida high school for suspending its football coach (a longtime NFL quarterback) for ridiculous reasons.

First, they applaud the Trump administration for brokering a peace deal between Armenia and Azerbaijan after a decades-long conflict that involved the appalling slaughter of many Armenians. The deal marks the fourth peace agreement the Trump administration has facilitated this year. Jon and Greg criticize the media for providing so little coverage of these peace agreements and discuss Trump's very different approach to foreign policy.

Next, they recoil at reports that the Biden administration's priority at FEMA was to register and mobilize voters rather than providing disaster relief. The reports follow stories from 2024 that FEMA did not contact hurricane victims who had Trump signs in their yards.

Finally, they fume as NFL quarterback Teddy Bridgewater was suspended from his high school coaching job for such dastardly acts as paying for Ubers to take his players home through rough neighborhoods, making sure they were well fed, and paying for football camps out of his own pocket. As a result, Bridgewater is now back in the NFL and unable to coach those kids. Leave it to bureaucrats to ruin a good thing.

Undisputed King of Stuff and Sink the Rising Sun author Jon Gabriel fills in for Jim on Thursday’s 3 Martini Lunch. Join Jon and Greg as they break down President Trump’s call for a new census, the Associated Press portraying terrorists as sympathetic victims, and James Carville’s idea of “saving democracy” through undemocratic means.

First, they size up President Trump's call for a new census to be taken that does not include people in the U.S. illegally. Given the huge undertaking of the census, Jon and Greg suggest making sure the 2030 census makes that distinction. They also note that Trump tried to include a citizenship question in the 2020 census but was blocked by the courts.

Next, they hammer the Associated Press for publishing a sympathetic piece on Hezbollah terrorists injured in last year’s Israeli pager bombings. The AP even explicitly laments that one Hezbollah terrorist "realizes it's impossible now to find a role alongside Hezbollah fighters" after being blinded by his exploding pager. How did we get to the point where the AP wants us to be sad that this guy can't try to kill Jews anymore?

Finally, longtime left-wing political strategist James Carville says that democracy is in danger. So if Democrats win control of the White House, the House, and the Senate in 2028, he wants them to unilaterally add states and pack the Supreme Court. You know, to save democracy. Jon has a far less dramatic suggestion for Democrats.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour host Scot Bertram fills in for Jim on Thursday’s edition of the 3 Martini Lunch. Join Scot and Greg as they dissect the left’s increasingly outlandish arguments over Texas congressional redistricting, highlight new research showing students benefit from phone-free classrooms, and react to reports that Howard Stern may soon retire.

First, they sit in disbelief as a Texas Democrat, who is currently on the lam in Illinois, compares the congressional redistricting fight to the Holocaust. They also chide CNN's Jake Tapper for saying Republicans abuse redistricting far more than Democrats and explain why Republicans feel confident creating new districts heavily populated with Hispanic voters who voted for Democrats until fairly recently.

Next, they dig into a new study showing that students do better in school when they don't have their phones in class with them. The research also finds that students support the phone restrictions once they experience them and enjoy more real-life interaction with their peers.

Finally, they discuss reports that Howard Stern may soon end his lucrative partnership with Sirius/XM. They review Stern's evolution from supposedly fearless shock jock to a pathetic, pandering leftist. Scot also explains why he believes Stern is overrated in the area where most people give him the highest compliments.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour host Scot Bertram fills in for Jim on Thursday’s 3 Martini Lunch. Join Scot and Greg as they discuss California Democrats having to accept the truth on energy, Sen. Elizabeth Warren enthusiastically endorsing the socialist agenda of Zohran Mamdani, and Jim Acosta "interviewing" the bot of a student killed in a school shooting.

First, they dig into California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s retreat from his aggressive green agenda. After years of vilifying oil companies and pushing to end fossil fuel use, Newsom is now trying to keep refineries open and even expand drilling. Scot and Greg explain the truth about the scope of our energy needs and the only realistic ways they will be met anytime soon.

Next, they react to Sen. Elizabeth Warren backing far-left New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani. She not only praises his socialist platform on housing, child care, and food prices but also claims his message is what Democrats should embrace nationwide. Scot and Greg unpack what “affordable” really means under progressive policies and how big government failures continue to pile up in America’s largest cities.

Finally, they recoil at former CNN anchor Jim Acosta’s podcast “interview” with an AI version of Joaquin Oliver, a student killed in the 2018 Parkland school shooting. Acosta used the bot to advocate for greater gun control. Scot and Greg discuss the many ethical problems with this disturbing spectacle.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour host Scot Bertram fills in for Jim on Thursday’s 3 Martini Lunch. Join Scot and Greg as they dive into Texas Democrats fleeing the state over congressional redistricting, the Republican U.S. Senate primary heating up in Georgia, and The New York Times whining about the return of the Presidential Physical Fitness Test.

First, they blast Texas Democrats for their blatant hypocrisy as members of the state legislature flee to Illinois in an effort to block a new congressional map that favors Republicans. Scot and Greg dig into the absurd comments made by Texas Democrats, and they thoroughly relish that Dems went to Illinois, home of the worst gerrymandering in the nation - by Democrats.

Next, they analyze the GOP U.S. Senate primary in Georgia, as Gov. Brian Kemp successfully recruits former college football coach Derek Dooley into the race. Two Republican congressmen are also vying for the nomination and actively courting President Trump’s endorsement. Scot hopes Kemp and Trump will unite behind a single candidate to boost Republican chances. Greg wishes that were the case, but he expects Trump to back one of the lawmakers, setting up a very intense primary.

Finally, they sigh as a New York Times news article suggests President Trump bringing back the Presidential Physical Fitness test "revives painful memories" for people who struggled to do pull-ups in front of their classmates. Scot and Greg contend the test is a good step in trying to get kids to be more physically active and that not doing well in certain areas should be motivation to get better.

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday edition of the 3 Martini Lunch as they react to President Trump's firm opposition to a Palestinian state, a deeply disappointing July jobs report, and more glaring incompetence from Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and former Vice President Kamala Harris.

First, they applaud Trump for refusing to follow France, Great Britain, and Canada in announcing their support for a Palestinian state. Trump says would be rewarding Hamas for its atrocities against Israel and beyond. Jim and Greg also explain why calls for establishing a Palestinian state with Mahmoud Abbas and Palestinian Authority is a horrible idea.

Next, they shake their heads at the July jobs report, which shows just 73,000 jobs added, a number far below expectations. Making matters worse, numbers from May and June were revised down by more than 250,000. Jim suggests tariffs may be hurting job creation, and both he and Greg warn against using tariff revenues to send us all checks.

Finally, they roll their eyes as Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass says the withdrawal of more National Guard personnel means they are in "retreat." Bass also cluelessly says he wants all military out of LA. Jim and Greg remind you that Bass was on Joe Biden's short list for vice president in 2020. Ultimately, that not went to Kamala Harris, who proved again on national television Thursday night, that she has no business being anywhere near the Oval Office.

Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch, as they welcome the news that former Vice President Kamala Harris will not run for governor of California in 2026. They also discuss New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani attempting to downplay his past calls to defund the police, and whether Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth might be eyeing a future political campaign.

First, they're glad to see Kamala Harris choose not to enter next year's governor’s race, especially since she reportedly had little interest in actually doing the job. They also discuss whether she’s likely to pursue another presidential campaign in 2028 and what the California governor’s race looks like without Harris in the field.

Next, Jim and Greg focus on Mamdani’s effort to distance himself from his long-held “defund the police” stance following this week’s horrific mass shooting in Manhattan. They’re also frustrated by polling that shows Mamdani likely to win the New York City mayoral race, regardless of how the rest of the field shakes out. Jim also slams a Politico article that dismisses criticism of Mamdani’s Marxist ideology as “Mamdani Derangement Syndrome.”

Finally, they consider reports that Sec. Hegseth might be thinking about leaving his cabinet position to run for political office in Tennessee. Jim and Greg both find this far-fetched, considering the huge goals Hegseth is pursuing for our military and because there's not much he could run for in Tennessee anytime soon.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they applaud Environmental Protection Agency Administrator, Lee Zeldin for wanting to rein the power of his agency, They're also happy to see decent economic growth in the second quarter, and they berate Pete Buttigieg for his pathetic response about the future of the Democratic Party.

First, they praise Zeldin for urging the courts to restrict the Environmental Protection Agency’s powers to what Congress has explicitly authorized. Jim notes that if Democrats want the EPA to expand its reach, they need to pass legislation, not rely on regulatory overreach. Greg applauds Zeldin for respecting the limits of government power and willingly ceding authority not grounded in law.

Next, Jim and Greg are thrilled to see the resilience of the economy as the second quarter GDP rose by three percent. Although not a fan of tariffs, Jim is pleasantly surprised to see the economy doing well. Meanwhile, the positive growth means we are nowhere near a recession, forcing Democrats to find different talking points.

Last, they slam Buttigieg for his substance-free response to The Breakfast Club’s Charlamagne tha God, who asked whether the future of the Democratic party is someone more like New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani or someone like Buttigieg. Buttigieg's response included such rhetorical gems as "we're each going to be putting forward the version of the message that's truest to who we are" and what young Democrat politicians have in common is that "they are who they are." Jim and Greg have fun with Buttigieg's meaningless answers and consider what answers would have actually been interesting.

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch. Today, they applaud President Trump for ratcheting up the pressure on Vladimir Putin and scold him for refusing to allow the president of Taiwan to visit the U.S. And they examine the arrest of the illegal alien serving as a police officer in Maine.

First, after noting the passing of Chicago Cubs legend Ryne Sandberg, they cheer President Trump for giving Putin a firm 10–12 day deadline to end the war in Ukraine. Trump appears to be losing patience with Putin’s broken promises and ongoing escalations. Jim and Greg also explore how Trump might respond if Putin ignores the warning, and they question America’s continued dependence on adversaries like Russia and China for materials vital to national security.

Next, they slam Trump’s refusal to let Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te stop in New York City en route to Latin America. While the move may be tied to sensitive trade talks with Beijing, Jim argues the U.S. should never let China dictate who can enter our country. They also examine how this decision may embolden the Chinese government.

Finally, they break down the arrest of an illegal immigrant in Maine who was not only trying to buy a gun but was already working as a local police officer. While officials claim to have used E-Verify to confirm his status, Jim notes the system can’t verify whether applicants actually own the documents they present.

Join Jim and Greg for Monday’s 3 Martini Lunch as they dig into the steep drop in violent crime in Baltimore, President Trump’s new trade deal with the European Union, and a bizarre lawsuit blaming the U.S. Navy's Blue Angels for terrorizing a cat in its final days.

First, they examine the dramatic decrease in Baltimore’s murder rate since voters ousted soft-on-crime prosecutor Marilyn Mosby in the 2022 Democratic primary. Her replacement, Ivan Bates, pledged a return to aggressive prosecutions, and the numbers show it’s working. Under Mosby, there were 334 murders in 2022. Last year, the total dropped to 202, and the city has recorded just 68 homicides so far in 2024. Jim and Greg argue it’s no mystery what’s driving the improvement.

Next, they dissect President Trump’s trade agreement with the European Union, which includes lowered tariffs and major commitments from Europe to buy U.S. energy and weapons. Jim says this deal is a significant relief given what would have happened later this week without a deal. But he's still concerned that American consumers will end up paying more for a lot of things.

Finally, they lambaste the crazy cat lady, who decided to sue the Blue Angels for disturbing the final days of her cat, as it died from heart disease. Jim is flabbergasted that anyone could blame the progression of heart disease on noise from planes. He's also greatly annoyed that the lady is referred to as that cat's "human mother" in news reports.

Join Jim and Greg as they stock the Friday 3 Martini Lunch with four stories. They discuss Democrats trying to blame President Trump for record-high grocery prices, young men supporting Republicans far more than just a few years ago, the U.S. withdrawing from Middle East ceasefire talks, and the loss of three hugely prominent celebrities this week who were household names for kids of the 1980's.

First, they get a good laugh as the Democrats post a graph of grocery prices since 2019 showing how prices are at a record high. The Democrats captioned the graph "Trump's America." The backlash was immediate as the graph clearly showed the vast majority of the inflation took place in the Biden years - as we all know.

Next, they welcome new numbers from the Pew Research Center showing male voters aged 18-29 now favor Republicans by a 52-34 percent margin. Men of every age group prefer Republicans by double digits and women over 50 are split pretty evenly. Women under 50 strongly side with the Democrats, and Jim offers a cultural explanation for the gender gap.

Then, they roll their eyes as French President Emanuel Macron announces France will recognize a Palestinian state when the United Nations General Assembly opens in late September. Meanwhile, ceasefire talks have ended after the latest Hamas counteroffer was so ridiculous that the mediators would not even pass it along to the U.S. negotiators.

Finally, they reflect on the deaths of '80s legends Hulk Hogan, Malcolm-Jamal Warner, and Ozzy Osbourne. They explain what a cultural phenomenon Hogan was back then. They also remember Warner's very memorable years on The Cosby Show, and how Osbourne's reputation shifted from heavy metal music to a quirky dad once his family got a reality show.

Join Jim and Greg for Thursday’s 3 Martini Lunch as they examine whether anyone from President Obama’s administration will be held accountable for concocting and executing the bogus Trump-Russia collusion narrative, Democrats scoring a major recruiting win in North Carolina’s Senate race, and what Ghislaine Maxwell might reveal today in her DOJ interview about the Epstein scandal.

First, they react to Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard explaining how President Obama and his national security team fabricated intelligence to undermine Donald Trump's first term. They also discuss why it's probably going to be very difficult to prosecute or convict members of the team for their actions.

Next, they wince as Democrats in North Carolina reportedly succeed in convincing former Gov. Roy Cooper to run for the Tar Heel State's open U.S. Senate seat. They explain what makes Cooper a tough opponent for the GOP and size up likely Republican candidate and current Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Whatley.

Finally, they wonder what Justice Department officials are hoping to learn from Ghislaine Maxwell today as they interview her about Jeffrey Epstein's repulsive exploitation of girls and other people who were involved. They also address reports that Maxwell is expecting a pardon or commutation for cooperating with the DOJ.

Join Jim and Greg for Wednesday's 3 Martini Lunch as they welcome President Trump's big trade deal with Japan, cringe at the GOP's electoral prospects in Virginia this year, and ask where the $100 million in wildfire relief donations went?

First, they're glad to see President Trump complete a massive trade deal with Japan, with reciprocal tariffs at 15 percent and Japan pledging to invest more than half a trillion dollars in the U.S. Jim says more deals like this and fewer tariff announcements on social media will be good for economic stability and growth.

Next, they groan as the prospects are looking pretty grim thus far for Virginia GOP gubernatorial nominee Winsome Earle-Sears. While GOP nominee Winsome Earle-Sears remains a solid conservative, she trails badly in the polls and fundraising against Democrat Abigail Spanberger. And the Republican running for lieutenant governor is bogged down in controversy that is dividing the party.

Finally, they highlight an effort to track the $100 million that was donated to California wildfire victims in a star--studded benefit concert earlier this year. It turns out the money was given to non-profits but there's not a lot of evidence yet that displaced homeowners are seeing much, if any, money or assistance.

Join Jim and Greg for Tuesday’s 3 Martini Lunch as they dig into President Trump urging the Senate to cancel its summer recess, Democrats in Minnesota endorsing a socialist for mayor of Minneapolis, and Hunter Biden’s blistering attack on high-profile Democrats.

First, they welcome President Trump's call for Senate Majority Leader John Thune to scrap the Senate's August recess so Republicans can push through dozens of judicial and executive nominations. They highlight how Democrats are using procedural tactics to stall confirmations and delay Trump’s personnel and judicial selections from taking office.

Next, they react to Minnesota Democrats formally endorsing socialist State Sen. Omar Fateh in the Minneapolis mayoral race. Fateh supports defunding the police and the Mamdani approach to "affordable" housing. Greg suggests Democrats have no problem with socialists, unless they're worried those socialists might lose. Jim says there doesn't seem to be anything that's too far left for more and more Democrats.

Finally, they go through Hunter Biden's profanity-laced podcast interviews, in which he rips the Democrats who encouraged and forced his dad to abandon his re-election bid. Hunter Biden took aim at Nancy Pelosi and her daughter, George Clooney, James Carville, David Axelrod, Jake Tapper, the Pod Save America guys and more. They point out that a decent amount of what Hunter said was true but he's the worst possible person to deliver the message.

Join Jim and Greg for Monday’s 3 Martini Lunch as they dissect the liberal media’s persistent fantasy of a blue Texas, the horrifying massacres of Christians and Druze in Syria, and the left’s conspiracy-laced outrage over CBS canceling The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

First, Jim calls out Politico for spotlighting Texas State Rep. James Talarico as the latest Democratic hope to flip Texas for the Democrats. Talarico, who recently appeared on Joe Rogan’s podcast, is seen as someone who could connect with Christian conservatives. But Talarico isn’t even running statewide, and Jim says there’s no real evidence Democrats are on the brink of flipping the Lone Star State.

Next, they react with horror to reports that more than 700 people have been brutally murdered in Syria in recent days, including Christians and Druze targeted by Sunni Islamist militants. Jim explains what's happening in Syria, the impact of the U.S. lifting sanctions not long ago, and whether the new leader in Syria (who was formerly with ISIS) is incapable or unwilling to stop the bloodshed.

Then, they get a kick out of the left's meltdown over CBS cancelling The Late Show. From Sen. Chris Murphy to former NPR CEO Vivian Schiller, the lefties are convinced President Trump made axing Colbert a condition for approving Paramount's pending merger and we are entering a "bone-chilling" era of censorship. These activists seem uninterested in the fact Colbert's show was losing CBS $40 million per year.

Finally, Jim and Greg pay tribute to Ed Feulner, the founder and longtime president of the Heritage Foundation, who died on Friday, after decades of work in the conservative movement.

Join Jim and Greg for Friday's 3 Martini Lunch as they explain how much they won't miss The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Zohran Mamdani's inability to understand why we need prisons, and a Philadelphia high school’s attempt to cancel Benjamin Netanyahu..

First, while they don't celebrate job losses, Jim and Greg welcome the news that CBS is shutting down The Late Show next year. They explain how Colbert and his peers poisoned late night television with relentless left-wing politics. The move comes the same day Congress officially defunds PBS and NPR, a major conservative goal for decades.

Next, they react to Democratic New York City mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani, who questions whether prisons serve any real purpose and suggests people only support them for emotional reasons. And don't look now, but more and more mainstream Democrats are embracing Mamdani. Jim and Greg also laugh at GOP nominee Curtis Sliwa’s brutally honest take on the legacies of Eric Adams and Andrew Cuomo..

Finally, they shake their heads as Cheltenham High School near Philadelphia considers a student petition to remove a picture of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from the school's hall of fame. This leads Jim and Greg into a conversation about high school halls of fame and what criteria should be required for getting removed from a hall of fame.

Join Jim and Greg for Thursday’s 3 Martini Lunch as they assess a strong outlook for House Republicans in the 2026 midterms, Gov. Gavin Newsom's scheme to gerrymander California’s congressional map, and Hunter Biden’s ridiculous excuse about why Democrats suffered major losses in 2024.

First, they are pleasantly stunned to see that House Republicans are predicted to pick up seats in next year's midterm elections. While there is a long way to go before the 2026 elections, the GOP is in a much better position that the last two times it faced midterms with a president of their own party. The Democrats are also contributing to this trend thanks to their staggering levels of unpopularity.

Next, they react to Gov. Newsom once again worrying about national politics and his own political future instead of the many problems in his state. Newsom is now planning to gerrymander the state's congressional map - especially if Texas Republicans do the same. He doesn't seem bothered by the fact such a move would violate the California constitution.

Finally, they roll their eyes as former DNC Chairman Jaime Harrison launches a new podcast and has Hunter Biden as one of his first guests. They also laugh as Biden suggests Democrats lost so badly last year because they "did not remain loyal to the leader of the party." Jim has choice comments about why both Harrison and Hunter Biden are not worth our time. Greg explains what would have actually made the conversation worth listening to.

Join Jim and Greg for Wednesday's 3 Martini Lunch as they examine Major League Baseball’s return to Atlanta for the All-Star Game four years after Democrats pressured the league to pull the event over Georgia’s election integrity law. They also dig into the ridiculously slow wildfire recovery efforts in Los Angeles County and break down what could be a wild U.S. Senate race in Texas next year.

First, they're glad to see the all-star game back in Georgia, where it was originally scheduled in 2021 before Commissioner Rob Manfred moved it under political pressure. Democrats claimed Georgia’s election law was “Jim Crow 2.0,” but two election cycles later, record turnout disproves those claims. Jim and Greg ask whether Manfred, the media, or top Democrats will ever acknowledge how wrong they were, or apologize to Gov. Brian Kemp for likening him to segregationists and the confederacy?

Next, they fume as little more than a hundred building permits have been issued in Los Angeles County in the six months since the devastating wildfires. Jim says this is a perfect example of how the blue state, big government approach to problems grinds progress to a halt and how Mayor Karen Bass and Gov. Gavin Newsom have failed. Greg offers insights on why the media won't criticize Newsom and Bass over this.

Finally, they look ahead to the 2026 Texas U.S. Senate race, where new polling suggests Rep. Jasmine Crockett could dominate the Democratic primary if she runs. The GOP primary has plenty of its own drama as Sen. John Cornyn and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton battle for the nomination. Many in the MAGA base are disappointed in Cornyn but Paxton brings his own baggage, including a very public divorce that was just announced.

Join Jim and Greg for Tuesday's 3 Martini Lunch, as they examine an encouraging new poll about stopping Iran from getting nuclear weapons, a disturbing one about how many Americans still believe Trump colluded with Russia in 2016, and Andrew Cuomo restarting his campaign for New York City mayor after getting crushed in the Democratic primary.

First, they welcome a new Harvard-Harris poll showing 80 percent of Americans believe the U.S. should do whatever is necessary to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon, including 93 percent of Republicans, 75 percent of independents, and 71 percent of Democrats. But there's an interesting twist when voters are asked about the recent U.S. strikes against Iran.

Next, they shake their heads at a new Rasmussen survey showing 60 percent of Democrats still believe Donald Trump colluded with Russia during the 2016 campaign, despite the Mueller Report and volumes of reporting showing otherwise. But it's not just Dems. There are still absurd numbers of moderates and conservatives who believe the same thing.

Finally, after being soundly rejected by voters in the New York City Democratic primary, former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo concludes the people really do want him so he will continue his campaign as a third-party candidate. Cuomo also says the non-Mamdani candidates should unite around whoever is running strongest among them by early September. Jim and Greg have plenty of choice comments about Cuomo's decision.

Join Jim and Greg for Monday's 3 Martini Lunch as they sift through three controversies, including President Trump trying to turn the page from the Epstein scandal, disturbing reports about Biden’s staff handling presidential pardons, and the X account of Elmo from Sesame Street spewing vile anti-Semitism after allegedly getting hacked.

First, they break down the long Truth Social post from President Trump urging an end to MAGA infighting over the Justice Department's announcement that there was no Epstein client list, no children were ever exploited, and Epstein did kill himself. Trump also says the Epstein files that do exist were written by President Obama, Hillary Clinton, John Brennan, James Comey, and others. But this effort to move on seems to have accomplished exactly the opposite.

Next, they dig into a New York Times report revealing that Joe Biden did not specifically choose many of the people he pardoned near the end of his term. He allegedly worked on the criteria for the pardons would be based but his staff ended up choosing the names and signing them with an autopen. So, will these pardons stand up to legal scrutiny?

Finally, they cringe as the X account of Elmo, yes Elmo the Muppet, is reportedly hacked after a series of ugly tweets calling for killing all of the Jews. Even assuming it was hacked, Jim suspects this could help to kill taxpayer funding for PBS. Both Jim and Greg are also glad they were old enough to miss the Elmo era entirely on Sesame Street.

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they close the week by focusing on former Sec. of State John Kerry lurching to the truth about the border, the left's incessant lying about ICE personnel and operations, and the latest oddities in the New York City mayor's race.

First, they are truly stunned to hear common sense coming from John Kerry. In an interview, Kerry said the southern border was "under siege" during the Biden years and that "Trump was right" that you cannot have a nation without protecting the border. Jim finds it fascinating that these comments would have made Kerry a pariah in his own party if he said them last year.

Next, they break down ICE’s recent raids on Glass House cannabis farms in California, where authorities found numerous illegal workers, including unaccompanied minors. But instead of outrage at the exploitation, Democrats like Gov. Gavin Newsom and media outlets attack ICE for enforcing the law. Jim pushes back on the narrative painting lawbreakers as victims and federal officers as villains.

Finally, they dissect the latest twists in the New York City mayoral race. Despite losing the Democratic primary, Andrew Cuomo remains eligible for the November ballot. Meanwhile, Mayor Eric Adams is now polling in fourth place, behind socialist Zohran Mamdani, a hypothetical Cuomo run, and Republican Curtis Sliwa.

Join Jim and Greg on Thursday's 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss the suspension of numerous Secret Service figures following the Trump shooting, former White House physician Kevin O'Connor refusing to testify to Congress about Joe Biden's health, and the bizarre sequence of events that led Kamala Harris to pick Tim Walz as her running mate.

First, they welcome the news that six Secret Service personnel (both supervisors and line-level agents) were suspended after the attempted assassination of President Trump last summer in Butler, Pennsylvania. There have also been significant technological advancements, including drones and better communication with local law enforcement helping to secure events. Jim thinks these are good steps and suspects Trump is satisfied with the fallout.

Next, they shake their heads as Dr. O'Connor invokes doctor-patient confidentiality and his Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination for refusing to answer lawmakers' questions about Joe Biden's true cognitive and physical condition while serving as president. O'Connor declared Biden fully fit to serve as president as late as February 2024.

Finally, they get a kick out of the bizarre reasons Kamala Harris ruled out Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro as her running mate and the equally odd conclusions they reached for choosing Tim Walz. Walz was not only a terrible choice, but it created more doubt about Kamala's ability to be president.

Greg is back. Today, Jim and Greg discuss the TSA finally ending its insane shoe policy, President Trump and Attorney General Pam Bondi offering odd answers about Jeffrey Epstein, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth reportedly pausing defense assistance to Ukraine without informing the president.

First, Jim and Greg celebrate the end of TSA forcing air travelers to take off their shoes while going through security screening. The policy dates back to one terrorist trying to set off explosive in his shoes in 2001 and since then we've been dealing with the annoyance of having to wander through TSA checkpoints in our socks or even barefoot.

Next, they react to President Trump acting offended that a reporter would ask questions about Jeffrey Epstein just two days after the Justice Department announced there was no client list and the case was effectively closed. Attorney General Pam Bondi then glossed over the question about whether Epstein was somehow connected to U.S. or foreign intelligence agencies. Greg says it's vital that we get a complete, honest answer on that question.

Finally, they discuss reports that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth unilaterally paused military aid to Ukraine and failed to inform President Trump. Jim credits Trump again for restoring the assistance but wonders how and why Hegseth would make such a move without consulting or at least informing the president.

(00:00:00) Trump Pivot on Ukraine

Join Jim and guest host Craig Collins for Monday’s 3 Martini Lunch as they dig into Trump’s surprising new stance on Ukraine aid, the media’s defense of a New York mayoral candidate who misrepresented his race on college applications, and fresh revelations that Kamala Harris had a shot at winning over GOP voters—and blew it.

First, they analyze Donald Trump’s recent comments that he would restore U.S. military aid to Ukraine if re-elected. What’s behind the pivot, and how is it playing on both sides of the aisle?

Next, Jim and Craig unpack the media’s spin around New York mayoral candidate Nadim Mamdani, who claimed to be “Black or African-American” on his college applications. Critics call it deceptive. The press? Not so much.

Finally, they dive into new reporting that Kamala Harris was handed memos urging a strategy to reach independents and Republicans—highlighting crime, immigration, and even recommending an appearance on Joe Rogan. She opted for a January 6 speech instead. Political malpractice, defined.

(00:00:00) Big Beautiful Bill Begins
(00:04:59) Will Musk Make "America Party"?
(00:11:03) Epstein Conspiracy Laid to Rest

Join Jim and Craig – in for Greg, we must enunciate – for this Monday edition of 3 Martini Lunch. Today they salute Congressional Republicans for getting the Big Beautiful Bill passed, consider Elon Musk's threats to create a new political party, and find truth in the recent Department of Justice declarations about Jeffry Epstein.

First, Jim and Craig congratulate Republicans for pulling together to pass such a consequential piece of legislation. Though Jim does not love every part of it, he is impressed that almost the entire Trump agenda was signed into law by Independence Day.

Next, they worry over Musk's threats, in light of the Big Beautiful Bill's passing, to create the "American Party" as a third-party opposition. Craig wonders how this might impact support of conventional conservative candidates while Jim argues that there probably just aren't enough voters who care about the deficit and debt to fuel a serious third party.

Finally, their own suspicions are laid to rest with the Department of Justice's declaration that Jeffrey Epstein never had a list… even though Pam Bondi said earlier this year the list was on her desk. Suspicions of suicide and blackmail have also been proven wrong. Jim and Craig are convinced by this since the information is not especially advantageous for those who revealed it.

Join Jim and Greg as they honor America on its 249th birthday by reflecting on what they love about the United States. Originally aired in 2021, they each extol three things they deeply appreciate about our nation.

First, Jim focuses on the incredible variety of places to live in the U.S. Whether you like big cities, rural areas, or somewhere in between, you can find your sweet spot somewhere in this country. Greg heaps praise upon the founders and specifically the Declaration of Independence, which radically and boldly proclaimed our rights come from God and our government gets its power from the people.

Next, Jim reflects on his time living in Turkey and how being in that country or any other country helps you appreciate what we have in America even more. Greg is grateful for the example America set that attracted our ancestors and so many others to leave everything and come - legally - to the U.S.

Finally, Jim applauds the great people you meet in every corner of the U.S. Yes, there's even some nice ones in and around Washington. Greg points to the incredible physical beauty of our land from coast to coast.

Join Jim and Greg as they head into Independence Day by looking at stories they would have chosen for martinis in recent weeks if huge news events had not intervened. Today on 3 Martini Lunch, they discuss good news in an unlikely place in the quest for building trust in elections. They also react to the very different track records for Florida and New York over the past 25 years, and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz's disturbing affection for China.

First, they look at polling showing a strong majority of people in California supporting laws requiring people to prove their citizenship before they can vote. But they also scratch their heads as Nevada's Republican governor vetoes a Voter ID bill because of other provisions in the bill he doesn't like.

Next, they look at data showing the stark difference in how much New York and Florida are spending per capita on programs like education and Medicaid. Despite spending almost three times more than Florida per pupil, New York students fared far worse in reading and math. They also consider how the populations of the two states are trending in very different directions.

Finally, they dig into why Gov. Walz would suggest China has surpassed the U.S. and other nations as having the most moral authority to broker calm in the Middle East. Walz said this just after Israel's airstrikes began three weeks ago. What does Walz fail to understand about the Middle East and why is he so fond of Communist China?

Join Jim and Greg's substitute, Craig Collins as they prepare for the Independence Day holiday with this all-California edition of 3 Martini Lunch. Today, they are pleased to see a recent poll suggesting that Kamala Harris is not an intimidating Democratic nominee in the 2026 governor’s race, they are amused by LA Mayor, Karen Bass's refusal to meet with ICE agents while telling them to go home, and they are wishing to reenact action films with California's recent firework factory explosion.

First, they speculate about a recent poll which asked people if they would vote for Kamala Harris if they had a choice between her and a generic Republican candidate. Shockingly for Kamala and for California, Jim notes 41-percent would vote for her while 39-percent would vote Republican with the other 20-percent being undecided or not voting. Jim and Craig are unsure if Kamala will even choose to run, though.

Next, Jim and Craig wonder where Bass wants ICE to go when she refuses to meet with them and tells them to go home. Aren't they already home? Recent Democratic commentary about ICE is laced with insurrectionist language, but Jim calls Bass's bluff arguing she is "talking big" but will not cross ICE when it comes down to it.

Last, they are ecstatic about the recent explosion of a fireworks factory -- in YOLO, California of all places. Because nobody was hurt, they joke that every building demolition ought to involve fireworks. Jim and Craig find it reminiscent to a scene from The Naked Gun, and both wish they could have been there to witness it.

Craig Collins is in for Greg again today for the 3 Martini Lunch. Join Jim and Craig as they laugh over Democrat's looking to model future campaigns after Zohran Mamdani's, voice concerned over the lack of fiscal considerations regarding the Big Beautiful Bill and reveal the truth about seemingly ominous program cuts at Indiana Universities.

First, Jim and Craig are entertained by Rep. Chris Murphy's enthusiastic interest in running future Democratic campaigns in similar fashion to that of Zohran Mamdani. Jim wonders if Democrats could really be silly enough to over-interpret Mamdani getting a plurality in a relatively low-turnout Democratic NYC mayoral primary and think this is the way to win elections again.

Next, they are wary of the results passing the Big Beautiful Bill may have. It seems only to get less budget friendly as it moves through the Senate. Jim and Craig are concerned that fiscal conservatives, in hope of seeing their party's bill passed, are not being honest about the financial danger is poses.

Finally, they are amused misleading numbers in an Indiana Public Media article which would lead readers to believe Republican policy is responsible for the 20% cut in degrees. Jim explains that it sounds ominous -- until you see how many students are affected.

Jim is back though Greg is gone for today's 3 Martini Lunch. In his stead is radio personality Craig Collins. Join Craig and Jim as Independence Day week kicks off with a good, a bad, and a crazy bit of news. The week begins with Canada rescinding their digital service tax in response to Mr. Trump's Truth Social post, North Caroline Senator Thom Tillis and Nebraska Rep. Don Bacon will not be seeking reelection, and a Gallup poll finds that pride in America is significantly down from last year.

First, Craig and Jim are pleased that just two days after Trump declared on Truth Social that he was suspending trade talks with Canada over their digital services tax, Canada announces they're rescinding the tax. Jim argues this tax to be particularly unfair and discriminatory toward U.S. businesses. Craig notes how Trump has been following through on his threats, and Canada seems unwilling to test him on this.

Next, they mourn the bad news that North Carolina Senator Thom Tillis AND Nebraska Rep. Don Bacon will not be seeking reelection. Because the Republican Party won by narrow margins in those states, Jim worries this may swing states blue making it a good week for the DSCC and DCCC.

Last, they are aghast at the recent Gallup poll which shows pride in America to be down significantly from last year particularly among Democrats. Jim is amused that Democrats felt more pride in the country when President Biden was in office. Ultimately, Jim and Craig argue that pride in one's country should not be contingent upon who is in office.

Ricochet Co-Founder Rob Long is in for Jim today. Join Rob and Greg for another round of the 3 Martini Lunch as they break down two major Supreme Court decisions, get Rob's thoughts as a longtime New York resident on the rise of Zohran Mamdani, and the one-year anniversary of the disastrous debate that ended Joe Biden's political career.

First, they cheer a Supreme Court decision empowering parents to opt their children out of classroom instruction that promotes the LGBT agenda. The ruling affirms parental rights in education and sheds more light on activist agendas in public schools. Rob also offers a deal to teachers intent on pushing a progressive cultural agenda, but Greg isn't buying it. They also approve of the Supreme Court largely restraining federal district court judges from issuing orders that impact the entire nation.

Next, Rob weighs in on New York City Democrats choosing Zohran Mamdani for mayor. As a longtime resident of the city, Rob says it's nothing new for voters there to choose "a crackpot, left-wing incompetent," but he is surprised they picked one so obvious. Rob explains how even parts of the Mamdani agenda would ruin the city and what his highest hopes for the next four years would be.

Finally, they reflect upon the one-year anniversary of President Biden imploding any chances of re-election with his awful debate performance. Rob and Greg remember the most telling moments of the debate, the tumultuous aftermath, and how the White House and its media allies tried to cover up what more than two-thirds of Americans already knew. They also discuss the details of the Biden cover-up that we still need to know.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour host Scot Bertram fills in for Jim on Thursday’s 3 Martini Lunch. Join Scot and Greg as they assess the Supreme Court's ruling on Planned Parenthood and your tax dollars, a radical government overhaul proposal from a Democratic congressman, and whether the Democrats will mimic Mamdani in the 2026 midterms and beyond.

First, they discuss the U.S. Supreme Court’s 6-3 decision allowing South Carolina to exclude Planned Parenthood from where it spends Medicaid dollars. Scot and Greg react to the decision, explain why it makes sense, and note the incredibly biased way these politically-charged rulings are covered in the media.

Next, they shake their heads as Illinois Rep. Sean Casten proposes adding 12 at-large U.S. Senate seat decided in a national popular vote, which would also add 12 votes to the Electoral College. He also wants to increase the U.S. House of Representatives by 250 seats, and "rebalance" the Supreme Court by creating a "13-judge multi-circuit panel" that would decide any cases where the U.S. government or a federal agency is a party.

Finally, they spotlight the Democrats who avoided Zohran Mamdani’s extremism before the election but now rush to align with him. Scot and Greg explore whether Mamdani’s far-left agenda will become a blueprint for Democrats heading into the 2026 midterms and beyond.

Undisputed King of Stuff and Sink the Rising Sun author Jon Gabriel fills in for Jim on today's 3 Martini Lunch. Join Jon and Greg as they celebrate the political demise of Andrew Cuomo and shudder at the rise of Zohran Mamdani in New York City. They also focus on ICE taking concerning Iranian illegals into custody, and Nancy Pelosi raking in more millions through very suspicious investments.

First, Jon and Greg react to far-left Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani’s decisive win over disgraced former Governor Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic mayoral primary. They cheer Cuomo’s collapse after scandals involving nursing home COVID deaths, sexual misconduct, and misuse of staff. But they are horrified that Mamdani, an avowed socialist, is now the heavy favorite to become mayor. They chronicle Mamdani's absurd campaign promises, his obvious antipathy towards Israel, and more.

Next, they welcome news that ICE has detained 16 Iranian nationals illegally in the U.S. following the airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites. One of those nabbed is a former member of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps who admits connections to Hezbollah. Another was a sniper in the Iranian army. Jon says this is good work by Homeland Security to muzzle a threat before it starts.

Finally, they dig into Nancy Pelosi’s latest round of highly suspicious stock trades. The former House Speaker and her husband dumped shares in two major companies just before both were hit with federal investigations. While Pelosi isn’t alone in ethically questionable investing, Jon argues she perfectly embodies why the American people do not trust their government.

Undisputed King of Stuff and Sink the Rising Sun author Jon Gabriel fills in for Jim on Tuesday’s 3 Martini Lunch. Join Jon and Greg as they dig into Iran’s feeble response to U.S. airstrikes, President Trump’s frustration over multiple violations of the Israel-Iran ceasefire, and the latest immigration insanity from Florida Rep. Maxwell Frost.

First, Jon and Greg examine Iran’s symbolic missile launch toward a U.S. base in Qatar, an attack Tehran telegraphed in advance to avoid American or Qatari casualties. Jon says this is further proof that Iran is very weak and knows it cannot risk angering the U.S. and further.

Next, they react to the rocky start to the Israel-Iran ceasefire. Iran fired more missiles after the ceasefire was supposed to start. Israel responded, despite President Trump urging restraint. They also comment on Trump's obvious frustration with both sides as he met with the press this morning.

Finally, they slam Florida Rep. Maxwell Frost for accusing ICE agents of kidnapping and human trafficking. Jon and Greg contrast his inflammatory claims with former Border Patrol chief Tom Homan’s experience with the brutal reality of cartel-run trafficking. Jon also shares firsthand insights from Arizona, detailing the suffering migrants face at the hands of traffickers.

Presidential historian and Ronald Reagan Institute Senior Fellow Tevi Troy is in for Jim today. Join Tevi and Greg as they break down the U.S. bombings of three Iranian nuclear sites on Saturday, the possible responses from Iran and the Trump administration's various comments about regime change, and the weird leftist condemnations of the strikes.

First, they highlight the exceptional performance of the B-2 Bomber pilots, the lengthy and complex mission, and the airtight operational security, which may have been achieved by not telling any Democrats about the mission until after it happened. They also highlight how President Trump deftly pushed for a diplomatic solution, ramped up the tough talk, seemed to grant a two-week reprieve and then successfully surprises everyone with the timing of the strikes.

Next, they contemplate what will come next - both from Iran and the United States. Will Iran close the Straits of Hormuz, focus on U.S. military bases in the region like today in Qatar, unleash sleeper cells in the U.S., or prioritize cyberterrorism? They also weigh in on Vice President Vance saying the U.S. does not have a goal of regime change in Iran while Trump openly suggests it on social media.

Finally, they react to some of the most unhinged reactions to the bombings in Iran. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez thinks Trump's actions are impeachable. Obama administration figure Tommy Vietor says any deadly response from Iran will be because we started it. And even the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office condemned the bombings.

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they dig into reports of immense frustration and fingerpointing among Democrats more than seven months after the election, whether there's any likelihood of a meaningful nuclear deal with Iran over the next two weeks, and the very disturbing impact artificial intelligence is already having on our brains and relationships.

First, they pop the popcorn as Democrats are openly venting about Democratic National Committee Chairman Ken Martin's weak leadership and how the party still resembles a circular firing squad long after President Trump's win in November. Polling also shows intense disapproval among Democrats for party leaders overall.

Next, as President Trump gives Iran two weeks to make a concrete deal to give up its nuclear program, Jim examines whether there's any real expectation that Iran would ever agree to something the U.S. would find acceptable. They also discuss Iran's use of more sophisticated missiles in attacking Israel and how the Iron Dome is having a tougher time taking them out.

Finally, they shudder at the negative impact artificial intelligence is having on our lives. An MIT study of ChatGPT on 54 student brains over four months shows a significant drop in neural connectivity or brain processing power. They also highlight how people are developing intense personal "relationships" with their AI at the cost of developing bonds with actual human beings.

It's National Martini Day! So join Jim and Greg for Thursday's 3 Martini Lunch as they look at Israel's ingenious plan to kill many top Iranian military figures as the airstrikes began last week. They also consider President Trump's final push for a nuclear deal with Iran, and Florida Rep. Maxwell Frost openly admitting he wants amnesty and citizenship for every illegal immigrant.

First, they break down how Israel’s Mossad cleverly exploited Iranian communications to lure top commanders into the same bunker and then made that the first target of the bombing campaign. Jim and Greg can’t help but limagine the generals questioning who called the meeting moments before the explosion. Jim says this also confirms his long-standing loathing of in-person meetings.

Next, they react to President Trump and U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff trying the diplomatic route one more time to get Iran to abandon it's nuclear weapons ambitions. Jim has been less than impressed with Witkoff's performance in the Middle East and Russia so far. He also says it's clear Trump is doing everything he can to avoid a full-scale war with Iran.

Finally, they react to Rep. Frost’s openly radical proposal to solve illegal immigration by simply granting amnesty and citizenship to everyone here unlawfully. Jim and Greg dissect the political and national security consequences, with Jim arguing this reflects Democrats’ ongoing delusion that Americans support their policies but just need them explained better.

Finally, they cringe at the absurd but honest call from Rep. Frost to end the problem of illegal immigrants by quickly legalizing them and making them citizens. Amnesty would not only reward the existing lawbreakers but attract many more people to come here illegally. Jim says this is also evidence that many Dems convinced themselves of the delusion that Americans really do love their policies and they only need to communicate them better.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday edition of the 3 Martini Lunch as they react to President Trump's cryptic yet playful comments on Iran, break down a major Supreme Court ruling on transgender procedures for minors, and shake their heads at yet another Democrat staging a protest for attention over ICE operations

First, they get a kick out of President Trump having fun with a reporter's question about what might come next with Iran and adding, "I may do it. I may may not do it." Jim also wonders whether Trump's tough talk is just a smokescreen while Israel finishes the job at the nuclear sites.

Next, they applaud the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold Tennessee’s law banning transgender surgeries, puberty blockers, and related treatments for minors. Jim says there needs to be a distinction between minors and adults on this issue. They also point out that most kids dealing with gender dysphoria end up embracing the way they were made while the surgeries and drugs are irreversible.

Finally, they mock the latest political stunt involving a Democrat getting detained for interfering with ICE operations—this time New York City Comptroller Brad Lander, who also happens to be a mayoral candidate with a primary next week. Jim fears this tactic may become a Democratic litmus test in 2026. And they both have fun imagining a more organized way for Dems to carry out their publicity stunts.

Join Jim and Greg for this Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they examine President Trump's intensifying pressure on Iran, the curious absence of Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard from a key national security meeting prior to recent Israeli military action, and what Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass inadvertently revealed during her comments about immigrants in LA.

First, they discuss President Trump's choice to cut his visit to the G7 summit unexpectedly short. Afterward, he issued several social media posts putting Iran's feet to the fire. They discuss Trump's consistency on refusing to allow Iran to have nuclear weapons and consider precisely what assistance he's willing to provide to Israel.

Next, they wonder why Tulsi Gabbard did not attend the recent national security meeting at Camp David just days before Israel launched pre-emptive strikes inside Iran. Was she not invited? Did she choose not to come? And does this explain her cryptic video about being on the brink of nuclear annihilation just days later?

Finally, they shake their heads again as Mayor Bass says much of the city's economy would suffer without immigrants. Of course, she won't distinguish between legal and illegal immigrants. She reveals the stark truth that California's economy functions on the backs of exploited illegal immigrants, leaving Jim and Greg to wonder how anyone could support her as mayor.

Join Jim and Greg for the Monday edition of the 3 Martini Lunch as they assess Israel's military successes and Iran's desperate call for a ceasefire. They are also astounded at the New York Times' use of free market arguments in their plea for voters to reject Zohran Mamdani's mayoral bid. Additionally, they are horrified at the murder of one lawmaker in Minnesota and the serious wounding of another.

First, Jim and Greg highlight Israel's dominance in the skies over Iran, eliminating more high-ranking officials and hitting strategic targets. While the Iron Dome has proven effective, a few Iranian missiles have broken through, causing Israeli casualties. Meanwhile, The Wall Street Journal reports that Iran is begging for a ceasefire—one Israel appears unlikely to entertain.

Next, they're stunned that the New York Times is urging NYC residents to reject Zohran Mamdani for mayor, especially as they rip Mamdani's socialist calls for rent control and government-run grocery stores. The NYT editorial board also blasts Mamdani for calling Bill de Blasio the best New York City mayor in his lifetime. But will this make any difference? Would Andrew Cuomo be any better? And why is the Times really doing this?

Finally, they react to the horrific shootings of two Minnesota state lawmakers on Saturday morning by a man impersonating a police officer. Former State House Speaker Melissa Hortman was murdered, along with her husband. State Senator John Hoffman and his wife were severely wounded. Information about the shooter does not paint a consistent political ideology, but Jim and Greg are grateful he is now in custody.

Join Jim and Greg for Friday’s 3 Martini Lunch as they assess Israel’s bold strikes on Iran’s nuclear program and how President Trump and the U.S. are navigating this conflict. They also weigh in on the controversy surrounding California Sen. Alex Padilla being handcuffed after interrupting a Homeland Security press conference in Los Angeles.

First, they lay out what we know about Israel's attacks against Iranian nuclear sites, air defenses, and top military personnel. Jim points out that every president since George W. Bush has stated Iran cannot be allowed to have a nuclear weapon and the Israelis clearly believe they could not wait any longer. They also marvel at the depths which the Mossad infiltrated Iran to help carry out the attacks.

Next, they examine the U.S. response to the strikes. While initial American statements distanced the U.S. from involvement, President Trump voiced strong support for Israel and warned Iran to return to nuclear negotiations. However, Iran now claims it is abandoning those talks altogether.

Finally, they break down the confrontation between DHS Sec. Kristi Noem and California Sen. Alex Padilla. Sen. Padilla interrupted Noem to shout questions. It was only after Secret Service and FBI began restraining him that Padilla identified himself as a U.S. senator. He was eventually handcuffed but quickly released when his identity was confirmed. Jim and Greg agree that Padilla's approach shows he wanted to create a spectacle. Jim also marvels that no one - even in LA - seemed to know what Sen. Padilla looks like.

Join Jim and Greg for Thursday's 3 Martini Lunch as they break down the money trail that might explain Gov. Newsom's reluctance to confront the LA rioters, whether the evacuation of some U.S. personnel and their families means we're on the brink of major conflict in the Middle East, and the staggering incompetence of Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass.

First, they dig into reports suggesting California Gov. Gavin Newsom was uninterested in maintaining order during the recent LA riots because the group sponsoring the protest, the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights, contributed nearly half a million dollars and a lot of manpower to help him survive the 2021 recall.

Next, they wonder how to interpret the State Department's decision to remove some U.S. personnel and their dependents from Iraq, Kuwait, and Bahrain. Are we on the brink of conflict over Iran's nuclear program or is this simply a move to pressure Iran to accept the U.S. nuclear deal?

Finally, they head back to Los Angeles as Mayor Karen Bass continues to ooze incompetence. And she is still blaming the rioting, the looting, and the property destruction on President Trump and his followers. Jim explains how Bass has now badly failed two big tests over the past six months and reminds us that Bass was on Joe Biden's short list for a running mate in 2020.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday edition of the 3 Martini Lunch where they bemoan the lack of 'serious people' in prominent positions. Those people include Terri Moran whose savage X post cost him his job at ABC, DNI director Tulsi Gabbard, who seems tired of being in the background, and Tennessee Rep. Mark Green who has the audacity to resign his position for an alleged business venture in Guyana.

First, they laugh over Terry Moran's vitriolic X post, claiming Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller and President Trump to be 'world class haters' and find nourishment by "eating their hate." Quite possibly the result of an evening of booze, this post could have been explained away with a simple apology, but Moran refuses to recant. Jim wonders if ABC is grateful for a reason to oust a boring reporter that costs them half a million dollars a year.

Next, they dissect Tulsi Gabbard’s dramatic YouTube warning about nuclear war. Gabbard insists we’re closer than ever to nuclear annihilation, apparently forgetting the Cold War and Cuban Missile Crisis. Jim is skeptical, especially considering the recent war in Ukraine and Russia where nuclear weapons have not yet been used. He also says that Gabbard has a direct link to speak with the president about such concerns, so speaking out publicly suggests she is bored of working behind the scenes.

Last, they are aghast at the resignation of Tennessee Rep. Mark Green for the sake of a private sector opportunity. Greg is enraged by any public official who would leave office for any reason other than health and family reasons or scandal. Green leaving for an elusive business venture in Guyana of all places has both Jim and Greg immensely irritated.

Inez Stepman of the Independent Women’s Forum fills in for Jim today on 3 Martini Lunch. Join Inez and Greg as they review a CNN poll showing immigrant voters shifting significantly to the GOP, address the clear organization present in the LA riots, and ponder the effects of Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley’s call for a minimum wage hike.

First, Inez and Greg analyze new CNN polling that shows a dramatic 40-point swing toward Republican immigration policies among legal immigrant voters over the past four years. Inez adamantly presents the recent situation with the LA riots as a prime example of why people do not trust leftist immigration policy.

Next, they examine the LA riots as a return to coordinated, violent left-wing activism. Inez also explains the distorted logic behind the rioters waving Mexican flags. And they marvel at how many people on the left and beyond openly admit they don't want federal immigration laws enforced.

Finally, they unpack Sen. Josh Hawley’s proposal to raise the federal minimum wage to $15 per hour through his "Higher Wages for American Workers Act." Greg argues the plan ignores basic economic principles, while Inez notes many employers already offer similar wages. She says the real danger lies in Hawley’s support for the PRO Act, which could reduce flexibility for freelancers and remote workers.

Join Jim and Greg for this Monday edition of the 3 Martini Lunch where they discuss the riots in Los Angeles, the media’s spin on the riots as well as President Trump ordering the National Guard to help, and New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand’s hypocritical new plan for putting Democrats back in the majority.

First, they are aghast at the general unrest in Los Angeles as ICE agents seek to round up criminal illegal immigrants. Although being just an eight-minute walk from the LAPD, it took two hours for police to respond to the attacks on the Roybal Federal Building. California Gov. Gavin Newsom, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, and former VP Kamala Harris all claim overreach by President Trump for sending in the National Guard, but Jim and Greg note how the LAPD initially seemed disinterested in ending the violence. Now the LAPD itself is claiming to be overwhelmed.

Next, Jim and Greg disdain the comical media coverage of the ‘mostly peaceful’ LA riots. Local and federal sources say people are merely enjoying themselves as they watch fires burn, yet Jim has yet to see them enjoying chocolate and marshmallows around the burning cars. For some reason, Democrats are so afraid of appearing to be Trump supporters that they cannot stand by simple expectations of peace, law, and order.

Last, they scoff at Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand’s plans to bring Democrats back to power by urging moderate Senate candidates in 2026. She's a strange person to deliver that message after her history of pretending to be a moderate in the House and then immediately becoming a far left U.S. Senator. Jim blithely recalls Gillibrand’s pitiful and long forgotten attempt at running for president in 2020.

Join Jim and Greg for 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss the Trump vs. Musk social media melee on Thursday and what it means for the fate of the Big Beautiful Bill, some House Democrats actually appearing to do something productive, and the probe into the Biden administration's use of the autopen.

First, they take you step-by step through the quick disintegration of the Donald Trump-Elon Musk friendship: from Musk calling the siganture GOP legislation a "disgusting abomination" to Trump calling Elon crazy and threatening to void his government contracts to Elon saying Trump is in the Epstein report and agreeing that Trump should be impeached. Jim says they both have valid points concerning the legislation but suspects the overall impact of this fight will be bad for conservatives.

Next, they're stunned to find a few House Democrats actually focusing on something that deserves attention. New York Rep. Ritchie Torres and several of his colleagues are asking Homeland Security and the Director of National Intelligence for an update on their investigations into China's sinister cyber terrorism in the Volt Typhoon and Typhoon Salt attacks. There's no evidence the Trump administration isn't investigating these attacks, but it's always good to keep keep a very close eye on China.

Finally, they examine the investigation into the Biden administration using the autopen to sign pardons, executive orders, and more. While it's likely Biden misunderstood or forgot much of what he signed, and possible things were signed in his name, they suspect it's going to be hard to prove that things were enacted without his consent - unless the Biden staffers start revealing more as their infighting gets more intense.

Join Jim and Greg for the 3 Martini Lunch as they roast Karine Jean-Pierre for her laughable new political posture, recoil at President Trump and Sen. Elizabeth Warren pushing to scrap the debt ceiling, and dive into the debate over the Boulder terrorist's family.

First, Jim and Greg make no attempt to contain their ridicule of former White House Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre, as she laments the brokenness of Washington and positions herself as disillusioned with the system. Jean-Pierre is now burning bridges with Democrats and proving she frequently lied to us from the White House podium.

Next, they marvel at Trump and Warren’s sudden agreement on scrapping the debt ceiling. Jim points out that Trump has said he wants to balance the budget, yet he is pushing for more spending. They worry that this will lead to even more irresponsible spending in Washington.

Finally, they push back against media narratives painting the Boulder terrorist’s family as victims. The entire family overstayed tourist visas and is in the country illegally. Jim notes that U.S. law prohibits the families of terrorists from remaining in the country, making deportation not just appropriate, but required.

Inez Stepman of the Independent Women's Forum fills in for Jim today on 3 Martini Lunch Join Inez and Greg as they delve into Elon Musk’s anger over the Big Beautiful Bill, Hakeem Jeffries’ plans to dox ICE members, and the recent surplus of news about trans athletes stealing achivements from female athletes..

First, Inez and Greg discuss Musk’s frustration over what he considers "a disgusting abomination" - the GOP's Big Beautiful Bill because it is not nearly serious enough about cutting spending. Inez agrees that we need much more fiscal restraint but she supports the bill because of its provisions on border safety, rooting out indoctrination in schools, and more.

Next, they are horrified at House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries,’ promise to dox ICE members for alleged overreach. Anyone responsible for deporting potential members of drug cartels have every right to protect their identity in the process. Inez slams the move as reckless and unconstitutional.

Finally, they spotlight the increasing number of cases where male athletes identifying as girls are awarded titles, and scholarships, and other opportunities over the girls. Inez argues for a firm definition of sex in Title IX to avoid future Democratic majorities from enacting egregious reinterpretations of the law.

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday edition of the 3 Martini Lunch as they dissect polls showing voters still trust Republicans more on the economy, shudder at Border Czar Tom Homan's concern over major terrorist attacks in the U.S. due to Biden's open borders, and size up the Democrats already dipping their toes into the water for 2028.

First, they highlight CNN’s Harry Enten reporting that Americans increasingly see Republicans as the party of the middle class and more trustworthy on economic issues. Enten appears frustrated by the trend, but Jim and Greg explain that the shift is no surprise—Democrats keep ignoring inflation, cost-of-living spikes, and pushing radical economic policies voters don’t want.

Next, they react to dire warnings from Border Czar Tom Homan, who says the Biden administration's border failures have allowed two million “gotaways” into the country—migrants who deliberately avoided processing at the border. Homan warns it’s only a matter of time before some of these individuals commit a major terrorist attack inside the U.S.

Finally, they joke about the preemptive presidential campaigns begun by Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Maryland Gov. Wes Moore. In recent appearances in South Carolina, Walz called Trump a "wannabe dictator" and urged supporters to bully Trump. Meanwhile, Gov. Moore inists he's not running for president in 2028 but keeps doing events like this. His record as governor is also not that great. And they also discuss the indecision of Kamala Harris over running for governor of California next year.

Join Jim and Greg for 3 Martini Lunch as they fume over the anti-Semitic attack in Boulder, Colorado, bemoan the abysmal media bias in covering the attack, and praise the recent Ukrainian drone attacks deep into Russia.

First, they denounce the anti-Semitic attack on a peaceful march demanding the release of hostages held by Hamas. An illegal immigrant reportedly hurled Molotov cocktails into the crowd, injuring eight people. The FBI labeled the assault an act of terrorism, marking yet another example of violence aimed at Jews, including the firebombing of the Pennsylvania governor's residence and the murders of two Israeli embassy staffers in Washington.

Next, Jim and Greg berate the media’s disgraceful reporting. Major outlets downplayed the facts, ignored anti-Semitic motives, and misrepresented key details, which were laughable, exasperating, and entirely predictable.

Finally, they assess Ukraine’s successful drone offensive deep inside Russia. Using more than a hundred drones, Ukraine destroyed dozens of critical warplanes and sent a strategic message to Moscow. And Jim explains how Putin will only change if Russian elites begin to suffer from the war.

Join Jim and Greg for 3 Martini Lunch as they focus on three crazy martinis to wrap up the week, as they tear into New York City mayoral hopeful Zohran Mamdani's rent freeze scheme and his other far-left ideas, expose Jake Tapper’s ongoing excuses for his role in the Biden health cover up, and reproach Taylor Lorenz for her ugly remarks about 9/11.

First, Jim and Greg groan at the economic lunacy of Zohran Mamdani as he pledges to freeze rent across New York City if elected mayor. He’s also promising government-run grocery stores, “free” child care, and free bus rides — all paid for by hiking taxes on “the rich.”

Next, they harangue Jake Tapper for claiming he could not have done anything else to reveal the mental decline of Biden. Instead, Tapper blames it on the Biden family for pretending like nothing was wrong. Jim and Greg wonder how Tapper can act so innocent when the public has known for a long time about the incompetence of the former president.

Finally, they fume over the audacity of disturbed journalist Taylor Lorenz for suggesting 9/11 is treated as a joke by younger generations and people even have parties to mock it. Jim is baffled that after demonstrating her paranoia over masking and praising accused murderer Luigi Mangione, Lorenz believes she should be taken seriously. Her claims that 9/11 is a punchline is horrifying and further plummets her credibility as a journalist.

Join Jim and Greg for the 3 Martini Lunch as they briefly bemoan lazy disinformation before diving into today’s martinis. They tackle how Trump’s 2024 win quickly led to better treatment of Hamas hostages, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser’s quiet reversal on her sanctuary city policy, and San Francisco’s absurd new grading equity standards in public schools.

First, Jim and Greg react to a CNN interview with former hostage Omer Shem Tov, who says Trump's 2024 election immediately led to better treatment of prisoners by Hamas. He says Hamas did not want Trump elected because its leaders knew their actions would no longer fly under his presidency.

Next, they are intrigued by Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser’s quick yet covert turnaround regarding her support of DC as a sanctuary city. It's the right move but why is she really doing it? Jim argues that sanctuary cities are so 2020 and not so popular with DC residents.

Last, they get a good laugh over the whole new meaning of C's get degrees with San Francisco's grade equity policies for schools. Doing homework and attending class no longer matter. Getting a 41 percent out of 100 will get you a C and a 21 percent is still a passing grade. This means hard work goes out the window. Jim also wonders where this policy was when he was in school.

Join Jim and Greg for Tuesday’s 3 Martini Lunch as they dig into the FBI’s decision to reopen two politically charged investigations, Elon Musk's disappointment with the amount of spending in the GOP bill, and a Harvard professor fired for falsifying her studies on dishonesty.

First, Jim and Greg commend the FBI for revisiting stalled investigations, namely the 2022 leak of the Supreme Court’s Dobbs abortion ruling and the 2023 discovery of cocaine inside the Biden White House. Both probes were closed under the current administration without answers.

Next, they examine Elon Musk’s criticism of the GOP’s “Big Beautiful Bill,” which he says includes far too much government spending.The legislation contains many strong conservative provisions, but Musk says it can't be both big and beautiful and there are many areas ripe for spending reductions.

Finally, they laugh at the stunning irony of Harvard firing a tenured professor for the first time in nearly 80 years because she falsified her research on dishonesty. This leads Jim and Greg down the road of other famous examples of researchers and politicians fabricating their results.

Join Jim and Greg for the 3 Martini Lunch as they highlight the Democrats’ clumsy attempts to woo Gen Z men, the horrible records of leading NYC mayoral candidates towards the city's Jewish population, and Senate Democrats refusing to apologize for demonizing Special Counsel Robert Hur.

First, Jim and Greg have a good laugh over reports that Democrats are spending millions trying to win back young men—especially after Gen Z males swung Republican more than expected in 2024. But instead of rethinking policies, Democrats are focusing on tone and messaging. Jim floats the idea of launching his own Gen Z initiative, mainly to fleece naive Democrat donors.

Next, they slam the dismal choices facing New York City in the mayoral race, as Democrats with lousy records toward Jewish residents lead the pack. Jim and Greg discuss former GOP New York Lt. Gov. Betsy McCaughey's warnings about Andrew Cuomo’s empty promises and Zohran Mamdani’s poorly concealed hostility, leaving Jewish New Yorkers with little reason for optimism.

Finally, they shake their heads in amusement as Democrat Senators Tina Smith and Tim Kaine say they will not apologize to former Special Counsel Robert Hur for publicly trashing him last year after Hur referred to President Biden as an elderly man with a poor memory. Even with the audio clearly vindicating Hur, the Democrats stand by their vicious statements.

Join Jim and Greg for Friday’s 3 Martini Lunch as they dissect Chuck Schumer’s dramatic flip-flop on immigration, Trump’s latest tariff threats against Apple and the European Union, and Andrew Cuomo’s surprising critique of the far left in his bid to run New York City.

First, they highlight Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer's complete reversal from his previous position on illegal immigration. Recently, Schumer said he wants to see all illegals become citizens. In 2009, he blasted illegal immigration, said we need to stop it, and even insisted on calling them illegal aliens instead of undocumented workers. It's clear proof that the far left wing of the Democrats is driving the party.

Next, they brace for impact as President Trump calls for a 50 percent tariff on products from the European Union and a 25 percent tariff on Apple for iPhones sold in the U.S. that are not made here. Jim notes the volatility such proposals inject into the markets, warning that economic uncertainty from abrupt policy changes could have serious consequences.

Finally, they find themselves in the strange position of agreeing with Andrew Cuomo about the far left leading deep blue areas into disastrous policies and consequences. His shift comes as the biggest threats to Cuomo in the NYC mayoral primary come from his political left. But can Cuomo really make this argument with any credibility after how he ran the state for more than a decade?

Join Jim and Greg for Thursday’s 3 Martini Lunch as they react to the House narrowly passing President Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill, shocking anti-Semitic murders in Washington, a humiliating naval blunder for North Korea, and Delaware Sen. Chris Coons still trying to defend Joe Biden's re-election bid.

First, after noting the House passage of the administration’s top legislative priority and two Republicans inexplicably missing the vote, they recoil at the horrifying murders of two Israeli embassy employees in Washington. The alleged shooter reportedly shouted “Free Free Palestine” while being arrested. Jim highlights the ongoing danger posed to Jewish Americans and anyone who associates with them as unabashed anti-Semitism rages on college campuses and beyond.

Next, they lighten things up with reports of a North Korean warship getting severely damaged during a launch ceremony attended by Kim Jong-Un. The failed launch is a major embarrassment for the regime. But while public humiliation for Kim is welcome news, Jim and Greg note the grim likelihood that those blamed for the incident will face brutal punishment.

Finally, they get a kick out of Delaware Sen. Chris Coons, one of Biden’s closest allies, dodging questions about his post-debate remarks insisting Biden could still serve another term. Coons now says he doesn't want to "relitigate" the past but focus on the future.

Jim is back and opens Wednesday’s 3 Martini Lunch by sharing the saga of a big oak tree that landed on his house over the weekend—and who he blames for it. Then Jim and Greg dig into a victory for free speech and common sense at the U.S. Supreme Court, the good and the frustrating parts of the GOP's Big Beautiful Bill, and more insight on who was really running the country while Biden was supposedly president.

First, after Jim details the unnerving tree incident, they cheer the U.S. Supreme Court for ending the punishment aimed at Maine state lawmaker Laurel Libby. Democrats barred her from debating or voting after she posted a photo of a male athlete winning a girls’ sporting event on Facebook. But while the court got it right, Jim explains why he's still alarmed by the verdict.

Next, they dig into the good, the bad, and the uncertainty surrounding the GOP's Big Beautiful Bill to make the 2017 Trump tax cuts permanent and add many other provisions. There is a lot to like in the bill but there is also some disappointment concerning the tax code and what blue state Republicans want to include before supporting the legislation.

Finally, they wince as the new book on Joe Biden's cognitive decline reveals the figures who were really running the country while Biden infirmities got worse and worse. And Jim stresses that none of these supposedly breathtaking revelations are actually news. It's just that some reporters and political operatives are confirming what we already knew now that there's no political benefit to covering for Biden.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour host Scot Bertram fills in for Jim on Tuesday’s 3 Martini Lunch. Join Scot and Greg as they dissect the media’s latest effort to protect President Biden, a New Jersey congresswoman facing a felony charge, a Justice Department probe into the Chicago mayor's hiring practices, and college students increasingly leaning on artificial intelligence to complete their coursework.

First, after a quick take on the media once again running interference for Biden, Scot and Greg focus on U.S. Attorney Alina Habba charging New Jersey Rep. LaMonica McIver with assaulting, impeding, and interfering with law enforcement during an incident at a New Jersey ICE facility earlier this month. House Democrats are outraged and are threatening retaliation. Scot notes the partisan double standard when it comes to legal accountability, while Greg dismisses the idea that elected officials are somehow immune from arrest under any circumstances.

Next, they examine the Justice Department’s investigation into whether Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson discriminated in city hiring by prioritizing candidates based on race. The probe follows Johnson’s recent remarks explaining his preference for hiring black employees. Scot says the issue becomes obvious when you read the same statement but refer to a different race.

Finally, they shake their heads as college professors are scrambling to stop students from using artificial intelligence to do their work. They're also stunned at how helpless many students feel without it. Scot shares how Hillsdale addresses the problem and argues the issue reveals something deeper about why students attend college in the first place.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour host Scot Bertram fills in for Jim on 3 Martini Lunch. Scot and Greg react to the breaking news of Joe Biden’s advanced prostate cancer diagnosis and the new questions it raises about his administration's transparency, the painful recordings of Biden and Special Counsel Robert Hur, and shocking attendance failures in Chicago Public Schools that officials keep rewarding.

First, they discuss the serious and sad revelation that former President Biden is battling prostate cancer that has metastasized to his bones. But this news also shines the spotlight even brighter on what Biden and his staff knew while he was president and whether they covered up this health crisis as well as his cognitive decline. And can we believe anything they tell us?

Next, Scot and Greg examine the newly released audio from Biden’s October 2023 interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur. The tapes directly contradict Democrats’ spin and support Hur’s conclusion that Biden was mentally diminished. Scot also stresses that the recent revelations in books and interviews are just a drop in the bucket and there are still many serious questions that linger. But the Biden team and the media have little incentive to answer them.

Finally, they spotlight alarming data out of Chicago, where 25 percent of public school students missed at least 35 days of school last year. That's double the pre-pandemic absentee rate. But somehow graduation numbers continue to rise. Local school officials blame parents for no longer prioritizing in-person school attendance, but Scot and Greg know exactly who is responsible for creating that mindset.

Join Jim and Greg for 3 Martini Lunch as they tackle a stunning admission from the left that prosecuting Donald Trump was part of the broader "resist" movement—and that it clearly backfired. They also slam Arlington County, Virginia, for prioritizing the protection of dangerous criminals over cooperating with ICE, and they rip into former FBI Director James Comey for suggesting we get rid of President Trump.

First, Jim and Greg spotlight former Pete Buttigieg adviser Lis Smith, who openly admitted, “We resisted so hard between 2017-2024. We impeached (Trump). We prosecuted him, convicted him of 34 felony counts. And guess what? He still got elected.” CNN conservative commentator Scott Jennings that proves the legal cases against Trump were designed to derail his campaign. Jim argues not only did those efforts fail—they backfired dramatically.

Next, they unload on Arlington County, Virginia, where local officials voted unanimously to prevent county police from contacting federal immigration authorities—no matter the charges against the illegal immigrants in their custody. This week, the county board removed exceptions even for those suspected of terrorism, human trafficking, gang activity, or violent felonies. Jim suspects this insanity is driven by short-term political calculations.

Finally, they break down the controversy surrounding an Instagram post by former FBI Director James Comey, which featured seashells spelling out “8647.” The message is widely interpreted as “get rid of Trump, the 47th president." Jim suspects Comey was not calling for violence. But he also points out that there really is no way Trump will resign or be impeached during this term, so the only other way to "86" him would involve "something really terrible." Greg says Comey should already be in a heap of serious legal trouble for letting Hillary Clinton skate and for his malicious role in targeting Trump through Operation Crossfire Hurricane.

Join Jim and Greg for Tuesday’s 3 Martini Lunch as they examine big developments on President Trump's border enforcement, former cabinet officials dishing on Biden's decline while staying off the record, and an alarming communications failure between the Pentagon and Reagan National Airport that lasted three years - including the night of January's fatal mid-air collision.

First, they cheer April’s southern border numbers, with just 8,383 apprehensions reported—down 93 percent from April 2024. Jim says the stunning turnaround under President Trump is likely to be ignored by most media outlets now that the crisis is under control.

Next, they dig into a report featuring three former Biden cabinet secretaries who described the former president as “disoriented and out of it,” even observing his mouth agape during meetings. But the sources remain anonymous. Jim wants to know why these cabinet officials didn't invoke the 25th Amendment to remove Biden from office. Greg slams these anonymous cabinet officials as cowards for not putting their names on their statements, probably because they still have political ambitions.

Finally, they’re stunned by revelations this week that "a hotline connecting air traffic controllers at Reagan National Airport and their counterparts at the Pentagon has been inoperable since March 2022." That means it also wasn't working on January 29, when an Army helicopter flew into the path of an American Airlines jet on approach for landing. The hotline was inoperable for nearly three years of the Biden administration and was not discovered until this month.

Join Jim and Greg for the 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss the indictment of a Wisconsin judge for helping an illegal immigrant escape Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), President Trump’s plan to lift sanctions on Syria, and George Clooney’s story of President Biden’s cognitive decline.

First, after a quick note on the latest air traffic control concerns at Newark Airport, Jim and Greg welcome news of a grand jury indictment against Judge Hannah Dugan. She’s accused of helping a criminal illegal immigrant avoid arrest by ICE. New reports suggest the judge went even further to shield the defendant from federal authorities. But with the case unfolding in deep blue Milwaukee, they wonder if the prosecution can actually win a conviction.

Next, they analyze President Trump’s announcement from the Middle East that he intends to lift U.S. sanctions on Syria and its new leadership. Is it a shrewd, strategic attempt to peel Syria away from Iran and Russia, or a premature reward for a leader with a long history in radical Islamist terrorism? Jim explains why he thinks Trump is making the right decision.

Finally, they react to George Clooney’s claim that President Biden failed to recognize him at a major fundraiser Clooney hosted in June 2024. While some on the right suggest Clooney was only alarmed because Biden's lack of recognition bruised his ego, Jim points to this as another example that Biden was not up to the job but Democrats and the media tried to cover for him until they couldn't any longer.

Join Jim and Greg for 3 Martini Lunch as they consider the latest revelations in the Biden coverup, the Department of Homeland Security investigating whether officials in California funneled Social Security benefits to illegals, President Trump's executive order demanding huge drops in prescription drug prices, and Health and Human Services Sec. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.'s controversial weekend swim.

First, they offer a quick reaction to the revelation that Joe Biden's inner circle was hiding his cognitive decline - even from his own staff. They also rebuff Kamala Harris campaign strategist David Plouffe, who largely blames Biden for Kamala's loss.

Then it's on to the martinis, beginning with a new Department of Homeland Security investigation into whether Los Angeles County officials provided federal benefits, including Social Security, to people in the country illegally through California’s Cash Assistance Program for Immigrants. Jim also questions why California maintains a program that gives taxpayer money to non-citizens, including illegal immigrants.

Next, they assess President Trump’s new executive order directing drug companies to slash prescription prices by 50–80 percent for U.S. consumers. While they agree Americans pay far more than people in other countries, they warn that government-mandated price ceilings could lead to drug shortages. Jim and Greg then consider some more market-friendly ways to bring these costs down.

Finally, they scratch their heads at the news that Health and Human Services Sec. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. went swimming with his grandkids in Washington's Rock Creek this past weekend, since authorities have long warned that the creek's bacteria levels make it unsafe for people or pets to enter the water.

Join Jim and Greg for the 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss the new pope, Hamas freeing the final American hostage, the Qataris trying to gift President Trump a new Air Force One, and Chuck Todd saying "sources" were the real "culprits" in perpetuating the the myth that Joe Biden was up to the job of president.

First, after a quick discussion on the new pontiff, they breathe a major sigh of relief at the news that Hamas has released Edan Alexander, the last living American hostage from the October 2023 attacks on Israel. Jim says this is undoubtedly good news and he hopes the U.S. keeps applying pressure until all the Israeli hostages under Hamas control are freed as well.

Next, as Trump heads to the Middle East, they urge caution as Qatar offers the president the gift of a luxury Boeing 747 as a new Air Force One. Jim points out that Boeing is woefully behind in producing the next generation plane for the president but says this is still a very bad idea. Questions are swirling about what the Qataris really want in return, but Jim and Greg are more concerned about how the plane could be bugged or compromise national security in some other way given Qatar's longstanding friendliness with terrorist groups and rogue regimes.

Finally, they get a kick out of longtime NBC News host Chuck Todd saying it's not the media who should be blamed for covering up Joe Biden's obvious decline. No, he blames it on "sources" close to Biden who assured him and other reporters Biden was just fine. It's the latest pathetic excuse for the media, who saw and heard Biden as often as he was in public and dutifully carried the water for Biden's fitness as he ran for re-election.

Join Jim and Greg for a special edition of the 3 Martini Lunch, as they spotlight some of the most underreported stories of 2025. Which critical issues are the media ignoring entirely? And when the stories are covered, what vital context is missing? Today, Jim and Greg each offer three key examples where the press is failing the public.

First, Jim sounds the alarm on the national debt and the media's refusal to grapple with the long-term consequences of unsustainable entitlement spending. With Democrats now opposing cuts proposed by DOGE, the press is fixated on the political drama while ignoring the looming fiscal disaster. Meanwhile, Greg blasts the media for siding with illegals in deportation cases while downplaying or completely ignoring the violent crimes committed by individuals living in the U.S. illegally.

Next, Jim flags the lack of serious reporting on China’s growing aggression in the South China Sea, warning that the threat is real but getting very little coverage or condemnation. Greg turns to California, where wildfire victims are still waiting on government permits to rebuild their homes, just as he and Jim predicted would happen months ago.

Finally, Jim asks why more Americans aren’t demanding that U.S. colleges prioritize American students over international applicants. And Greg calls out the media’s near-total silence on the brutal persecution and killings of Christians in Nigeria, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and other parts of the world.

Join Jim and Greg for Wednesday’s 3 Martini Lunch as they break down Columbia University’s improved handling of anti-Israel demonstrators, Bernie Sanders’ laughable defense of private jet travel, and Joe Biden’s worn-out excuses for why Kamala Harris lost to President Trump in 2024.

First, they blast the chaos at Columbia’s Butler Library, where pro-Hamas protesters disrupted students preparing for finals. But Jim and Greg give credit to the NYPD for requiring students to identify themselves before exiting and to the acting university president for offering one of the strongest administrative condemnations yet of these campus takeovers.

Next, they shake their heads in amazement as Sen. Bernie Sanders says he needs to travel on private planes for his "Fighting Oligarchy Tour." Sanders says it's absurd to expect him to stand in line at airports like everyone else. Jim and Greg compare Sanders’ hypocrisy to globe-trotting climate activists who, also use private jets, and insist they’re above the rules they champion.

Finally, they're glad to see Joe Biden is still alive based on his appearance today on The View. But Biden's pathetic suggestions that racism and sexism are responsible for Kamala Harris losing in 2024 are really getting old. They also point out that Harris likely tanked her own campaign because of an appearance on The View in October. And Jim cites recent revelations about Biden’s inner circle reportedly trashing her to donors behind the scenes while trying to salvage his campaign.

Join Jim and Greg for Tuesday’s 3 Martini Lunch as they cautiously welcome reports that the Iran-backed Houthi rebels will stop attacking ships in the Red Sea. They also dig into GOP concerns over the 2026 Senate map and expose the shocking costs and failures of President Biden’s Gaza pier project.

First, they react to former President Trump announcing a suspension of U.S. military operations against the Houthis, after the group pledged to cease attacks on ships near Yemen. Is this the result of overwhelming U.S. force, a concession by the Iranians in hopes of reaching a nuclear deal, both, or something else?

Next, they examine growing Republican anxiety about the 2026 U.S. Senate midterms. Top GOP recruits in Georgia and New Hampshire say they will not run and things look a bit shakier than expected for incumbents in three other states. So, are Republicans just overreacting or is there cause for concern?

Finally, they vent over reports that 62 U.S. service personnel were injured in various ways while assigned to construct the pier designed to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza. Adding insult to those injuries, the pier was only operational for a short time and much of the aid was stolen by terrorists and never given to the people in need.

Join Jim and Greg for Wednesday’s 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss the mounting economic pressure on China from President Trump’s new tariffs, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp’s decision not to challenge Sen. Jon Ossoff, and explosive findings that the Taliban is making billions selling abandoned U.S. weapons and vehicles to terrorists.

First, they welcome reports that Trump’s 145 percent tariffs are already hitting China hard—forcing many companies to pull out of the U.S. market, threatening millions of Chinese jobs, and sparking public protests over unpaid wages. But will this lead to any major concessions from the communist leaders in Beijing?

Next, they react to Gov. Kemp’s announcement that he won’t run for the U.S. Senate in 2026. Kemp matched up far better against Ossoff than any other likely Republican candidate. They examine why Kemp decided not to run and what the Senate race will look like without him.

Finally, they unload on new findings from the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR), revealing that the Taliban is making billions by selling the military equipment the U.S. abandoned in Afghanistan to terror groups, including Al Qaeda affiliates. Jim and Greg blast both the Biden administration’s epic failures and empty promises, warning that this predictable disaster now poses grave new threats.

Join Jim and Greg for Tuesday’s 3 Martini Lunch as they dig into the New York Times’ latest attempt to undermine President Trump and congressional Republicans, Trump’s push to reopen Alcatraz as a federal prison, and Michelle Obama’s newest, tiresome complaints about life in the White House.

First, they tear into the New York Times for framing the Congressional Review Act (CRA) as an “obscure” tool possibly being misused by Republicans to undo Biden-era regulations. The article warns readers that opponents can’t filibuster CRA rollbacks—something the left suddenly finds troubling now that Republicans control Congress. Jim dismantles the Times’ arguments, defends Trump’s use of the CRA, and calls out the media’s hypocritical coverage of these tactics.

Next, they react to President Trump’s call to reopen Alcatraz as a prison for the nation’s most dangerous criminals. He also hints at sending criminal illegals there, blaming judges "that are afraid to do their job and allow us to remove criminals." Jim and Greg aren't sure that specifically rebuilding Alcatraz is the answer, but they do like the like of sending our worst criminals to places that will be remote and will become synonymous with a thoroughly miserable experience for the inmates. And some of their ideas for how to do this are out of this world.

Finally, they roll their eyes at Michelle Obama’s latest White House grievances—this time about paying for their own private meals and also travel for their children when the president wasn’t with them. Jim and Greg are tired of how the Obamas continue to portray themselves as victims while enjoying elite status—but are enjoy seeing how their political influence continues to fade within the Democratic Party.

Join Jim and Greg for 3 Martini Lunch as they break down the surprising friction between House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries and former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a New Jersey Democrat’s eyebrow-raising success in the stock market since arriving in Congress, and a disingenuous left-wing media attack on Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman.

Jim and Greg begin with new details surrounding National Security Adviser Mike Waltz’s departure before thoroughly enjoying the growing divide between Hakeem Jeffries and Nancy Pelosi. Jeffries is reportedly distancing himself and no longer seeking Pelosi’s counsel. This story has many delicious layers, but it clearly highlights a Democratic party that's still not sure where it's going.

Next, they dig into the Washington Free Beacon’s investigation of New Jersey Democratic Rep. Mikie Sherrill’s improbable financial gains since joining Congress. Jim emphasizes how these stories deepen public distrust in government, while Greg notes the media’s pattern of downplaying financial controversies involving Democrats, from Whitewater to campaign fundraising scandals.

Finally, they tackle New York magazine’s hit piece on Sen. John Fetterman, which raises questions about his health and personal life. Jim points out that these same outlets once claimed Fetterman was fit to serve shortly after suffering a major stroke and argues that the real reason for the shift is Fetterman’s willingness to buck his party on a tiny number of issues.

Join Jim and Greg for Tuesday’s 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss the sudden exit of National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, a revived U.S.-Ukraine minerals deal following weeks of political drama, and President Trump’s admission that his tariff policies could mean fewer choices and higher prices for American consumers—at least in the short term.

First, they’re shocked by the abrupt departure of both National Security Adviser Mike Waltz and Deputy National Security Adviser Alex Wong. The move comes just weeks after Trump publicly defended Waltz during the Signal messaging controversy. Jim questions why this shake-up is happening so early in the term and expresses concern over who might replace Waltz.

After this recording, Trump announced Waltz is being nominated as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. Secretary of State Marco Rubio will serve as interim National Security Adviser.

Next, they cheer the U.S.-Ukraine agreement on critical minerals, which had been in doubt after a tense episode involving Trump, Ukrainian President Zelensky, and Vice President J.D. Vance. Jim also notes a new State Department commitment of $50 million in military aid to Ukraine.

Finally, they react to President Trump saying that his tariffs and other economic policies will ultimately strengthen the economy but that consumers might see fewer options and higher prices in the short term. Using the example of children having “two dolls instead of thirty,” Trump conceded there may be fewer options and slightly higher prices. Jim agrees the tariffs are putting pressure on China, which is good, but he warns that voters may balk at paying more for less.

Join Jim and Greg for Thursday’s 3 Martini Lunch as they react to a new climate report that undercuts years of doomsday predictions, economic numbers that show a slight contraction in the first quarter, and the Democratic National Committee using identity politics in an attempt to oust David Hogg from party leadership.

First, they spotlight a new study from the University of Exeter revealing that polar ice levels have remained largely stable over the past 20 years. The report supports research suggesting climate patterns are cyclical, with polar ice naturally growing and receding. Jim and Greg contrast these findings with decades of dire climate forecasts from Al Gore and others.

Next, they break down the U.S. GDP decline of 0.3 percent in the first quarter. They explain how the drop was mainly caused by a surge in imports ahead of President Trump's tariffs. Without the rush of incoming goods, GDP likely would have risen more than three percent. What does this say about the current state of the U.S. economy and where it is headed?

Finally, they have a lot of fun watching the Democratic National Committee turn to identity politics in it's latest, obvious attempt to run David Hogg out of its leadership. There is now a challenge to Hogg's election back in February. One of the candidates he defeated says the election process was unfair to women of color. Jim and Greg have some fun imagining what the DNC will look like if this woke approach is followed to its natural conclusion.

Join Jim and Greg for Tuesday’s 3 Martini Lunch as they dig into the left winning in Canada again, progress and setbacks in the fight against the Houthis, and a congressional effort to rein in stock trades with the bluntly named PELOSI Act.

First, they groan as Canada’s liberals notch another win, despite earlier signs the Conservative Party might be poised for huge gains. Some on the right blame former President Trump, arguing his tariff threats and repeated jabs about Canada being America’s 51st state rallied voters towards the Liberals But others say Canadians have only themselves to blame for re-electing the same people who badly damaged their country just because Trump made them angry.

Next, they react to troubling developments in the Red Sea, where an American FA/18 fighter jet was lost as the USS Harry S. Truman evaded a Houthi missile strike. While no personnel have been harmed, the U.S. has lost seven drones in the region. On the positive side, CENTCOM also reports significant damage to critical Houthi infrastructure and the deaths of many leaders and fighters. Still, Jim is alarmed by how little attention this ongoing conflict gets from both the media and the Trump administration.

Finally, they cheer on a bill aimed at banning members of Congress from trading individual stocks — and revel in the fact it’s called the PELOSI Act, a not-so-subtle jab at former Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s controversial financial dealings. But they also wonder if the bill’s name might need tweaking to get enough Democrats on board.

Join Jim and Greg for the latest 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss the FBI arresting a Wisconsin judge for helping an illegal alien evade ICE, Colorado Democrats moving to criminalize cooperation with ICE, and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker signaling a likely but probably futile 2028 presidential campaign.

First, they break down the shocking story of Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan, who allegedly allowed a criminal illegal alien defendant to escape her courtroom through the jury door to prevent Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from taking him into custody. Democrats and the media are trying to portray Dugan’s arrest as political retaliation for opposing former President Trump’s immigration policies. Jim and Greg explain why that narrative is completely false.

Next, they dive into Colorado’s efforts to punish government employees, school officials, and others who cooperate with ICE agents. Jim finds it amusing how the left, after years of demanding federal supremacy on immigration, now embraces state power when it suits their agenda. Greg points out that these first two martinis highlight an inescapable conclusion about many Democrats.

Finally, they preview the likely 2028 presidential campaign of Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker. Jim and Greg note the irony of the multi-billionaire governor trying to position himself as a populist while urging Democrats not to give Republicans a moment's peace. But they see many reasons why Pritzker's likely campaign will be a dud.

Join Jim and Greg for this especial edition of the 3 Martini Lunch as they assess the first 100 days of President Trump's new administration. What have been the biggest successes? Where has the administration stumbled? And which moments have stood out as the most crazy in these early months?

First, they highlight what they see as Trump's top achievements so far. Jim praises Trump for dramatically reducing illegal immigration at the southern border, calling it a clear promise kept and evidence that the Biden administration could have done the same. The effort to deport criminal illegals is significant too. Greg agrees the border is the biggest win and also commends Trump for restoring cultural sanity in keeping men out of women's sports and private changing areas, and for generally slamming the brakes on the cultural madness the Democrats have been pushing.

Next, they explain what they see as the low points of Trump's first few months. Jim takes aim at the tariffs, the inconsistent messaging on them coming from Trump's top advisers, and the market volatility that has ensued. Greg wants to know why Trump has signed only five bills into law when the GOP controls both the House and Senate. Why isn't Congress doing more to move bills along on issues that the American people clearly support.

Finally, they break down the craziest moments of the first 100 days. Jim focuses on the unhinged backlash from Democrats after Chuck Schumer caved on the government funding bill. Greg notes Trump's takeover of the Kennedy Center and gets creative in thinking about the type of show that would really please Trump.

Join Jim and Greg for Tuesday’s 3 Martini Lunch as they enjoy a rare all-good-news episode! Today, they discuss Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin finally hanging it up, major progress against terrorists, and the escalating fight between the DNC and David Hogg.

First, Jim and Greg are glad to see Sen. Durbin announcing his retirement after next year. He's been on the wrong side of almost every issue for 30 years and he may be best remembered for some very ugly comments on the Senate floor. The sour side of this good martini is that Democrats will be heavy favorites to hold the seat.

Next, they applaud a major counterterrorism success. National Security Adviser Mike Waltz reports that U.S. forces have eliminated 74 terrorist leaders in the first three months of the Trump administration. Additionally, 45 American hostages have been freed. Jim calls these significant victories but urges the administration to release more specifics to the public.

Finally, they relish the growing turmoil inside the DNC. Chairman Ed Martin is preparing to demand that Vice Chair David Hogg stop backing primary challengers to Democratic incumbents or resign. But with Hogg promising combative primaries regardless of his role, Jim and Greg look forward to costly, divisive battles in Democratic primaries across the country.

Join Jim and Greg for Tuesday’s 3 Martini Lunch as they have a great time breaking down a series of jaw-dropping stories. They dig into Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s awkward admission about Biden’s mental decline, a far-left Minnesota prosecutor refusing to charge a leftist state employee who seriously vandalized numerous Teslas, and explosive allegations that Klaus Schwab grossly misused World Economic Forum resources. Plus, they uncover a Die Hard connection to another of the day’s biggest stories.

First, they thoroughly enjoy watching a progressive podcast host grill Sen. Warren over her insistence that she didn’t notice signs of President Biden’s cognitive struggles before last year’s debate. Warren ultimately tried to deflect, but Jim and Greg explain why this backpedaling will haunt Democrats and the media for a long time.

Next, they’re stunned by prosecutor Mary Moriarty’s refusal to press charges against Dylan Adams, a Minnesota state employee accused of deliberately vandalizing six Teslas—causing $20,000 in damage. Adams will face no jail time and even gets to keep his government job. Jim notes the frustration of local police and the damage done when intentionally criminal behavior is swept under the rug due to politics.

Then, they dive into the allegations against outgoing World Economic Forum leader Klaus Schwab and his wife, who are accused of stealing substantial funds from the WEF and taking over a luxury property owned by the organization during COVID lockdowns.

Join Jim and Greg for the 3 Martini Lunch as they dig into Nadine Menendez’s conviction in the same egregious corruption scandal that will soon send her husband, former New Jersey Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez, to prison. They also cover new reports of a Chinese-linked company aiding the Houthis in targeting U.S. ships, and House Republicans pressing the Justice Department to prosecute former Gov. Andrew Cuomo for lying to Congress about his COVID-era nursing home cover-up.

First, they're pleased to see Nadine Menendez found guilty on all 15 counts tied to a bribery scheme involving her husband, the Egyptian government, and over $100,000 in gold bars, cash, and other luxury gifts. Now Mr. and Mrs. Menendez have matching bracelets. Jim blasts the media for largely ignoring the case—arguing that if Bob Menendez were a Republican, this scandal would dominate headlines daily. They also wonder whether Bob Menendez's begging for a pardon will actually convince President Trump to give him one.

Next, they react to alarming reports that a Chinese government-linked company is assisting the Iran-backed Houthis in targeting U.S. warships and other American vessels in the Red Sea. Jim calls it another front in a proxy war with China and was forced to find foreign press accounts to evaluate the effectiveness of recent U.S. airstrikes.

Finally, they look at House Republicans urging Attorney General Pam Bondi to charge Andrew Cuomo with lying under oath. Despite this and a $450,000 taxpayer-funded settlement to a sexual harassment victim, Cuomo continues to lead the NYC mayoral race by a wide margin.

Jim Geraghty is back! Join Jim and Greg for 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss the death of Pope Francis, more Democrats preparing to grandstand in El Salvador, and David Hogg stirring internal tension within the DNC. Plus, Jim offers a quick update on where he was last week.

First, they react to the passing of Pope Francis, who died just hours after attending Easter Sunday services at the Vatican. Jim and Greg reflect on Francis's 12-year papacy—highlighting how his comments on cultural and political issues often energized progressives before being walked back by Vatican officials. They also discuss how his views on climate change, wealth redistribution, and illegal immigration often frustrated conservatives. And they humorously clarify that Vice President J.D. Vance had nothing to do with the pope’s passing.

Next, they unpack a trip planned by four House Democrats to El Salvador to advocate for Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Jim criticizes the media's portrayal of Garcia as a harmless "Maryland Dad," drawing parallels to past sympathetic framing of problematic figures. He agrees Garcia should return to the U.S. for legal proceedings—before being deported back to El Salvador where he belongs.

Finally, they enjoy the drama unfolding within the Democratic Party as David Hogg announces plans to back challengers to numerous sitting Democrats. His efforts are already causing stress within the DNC, with many Democrats pushing back and defending their incumbents. It’s shaping up to be quite the primary season—popcorn, anyone?

Jim and Greg are off for Good Friday but they've also been busy lately doing some spring cleaning—but not around the house. Greg is tossing out outdated policies, messages, and organizations, while Jim is ready to send a few politicians packing.

First, Greg targets the type of taxes he finds most infuriating. He's not a fan of any taxes but there's one he finds particularly burdensome and fundamentally unfair. Jim, meanwhile, celebrates the quiet departure of a Republican who dominated headlines late last year but is now largely forgotten—and not missed.

Next, Greg shifts his focus to education, identifying a major obstacle to our schools that, if eliminated, would greatly benefit students and restore academic integrity. Jim highlights a once-promising politician who failed to deliver, faced numerous legal issues, and appears headed for a huge political defeat this year.

Finally, Greg turns to the lighter side and takes aim at some of the most irritating TV commercials. While he is a huge fan of free speech, Greg explains why these ads are especially grating and need to go. Jim reflects on a political figure who has already stepped away from the spotlight—but wonders how long before he fades from public view altogether.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour Host Scot Bertram fills in for Jim on 3 Martini Lunch. Join Scot and Greg as they dig into the IRS possibly revoking Harvard’s tax-exempt status, Bernie Sanders backing a truly radical Senate candidate in Michigan, and CNN’s over-the-top praise for George Clooney’s 2024 call to replace Joe Biden.

First, they analyze reports that the IRS may strip Harvard of its tax-exempt status. Scot emphasizes that this issue should be treated separately from the Biden administration’s efforts to withhold federal funds over the school’s failure to meet anti-Semitism standards. The guys also mull over whether such an action by the IRS would make it easier for a future Democrat administration to take aim at conservative institutions, or whether the left will do that regardless of what the right does now.

Next, they spotlight Bernie Sanders endorsing far-left candidate Abdul El-Sayed for U.S. Senate in Michigan. El-Sayed is known for supporting government-controlled health care, taxpayer-funded college (dubbed "free" college by the left), and for his hostility toward Israel. But Scot cautions that El-Sayed is an articulate speaker, boasts a successful medical background, and could receive glowing media coverage similar to Barack Obama back in 2004.

Finally, they call out CNN’s Jake Tapper for heaping excessive praise on George Clooney’s “brave” letter to the New York Times editor urging Democrats to replace Joe Biden after last year’s debate. Scot and Greg see it as a transparent effort by the media and left-wing elites to rewrite history and pretend it was impossible to know about Biden's cognitive decline before the debate.

Former Chief Assistant U.S. Attorney and National Review Contributing Editor Andy McCarthy is in for Jim on Tuesday’s 3 Martini Lunch. Join Andy and Greg as they dig into ICE’s clever move to apprehend a Columbia protest leader, the UK Supreme Court’s affirmation of reality concerning biological sex, and the legal spotlight now shining on New York Attorney General Letitia James for behavior strikingly similar to what she prosecuted Donald Trump for last year.

First, they applaud ICE agents for their creative tactics in apprehending Columbia University student and anti-Israel protest organizer Mohsen Mahdawi by summoning him under the guise of a naturalization interview. Andy also breaks down the legal distinctions between citizens and non-citizens when it comes to speech that incites hate. Greg highlights how mainstream media continue to spin radical activists like Mahdawi into sympathetic figures.

Next, they're pleasantly surprised over the UK Supreme Court’s ruling affirming that sex is binary—just male and female. Considering the dominance of gender ideology in the UK and elsewhere, the decision wasn’t guaranteed. The ruling stemmed from a case designed to clarify DEI policies in Scotland, so there's still a long way to go. Andy explains how his legal background helps interpret such cultural shifts. Greg adds that if momentum keeps building for biological truth, expect many elites to pretend they never supported the opposite.

Finally, they react to news that New York Attorney General Letitia James is under federal investigation for mortgage fraud and falsifying financial records— the same offenses she charged Trump with in 2023. Authorities say she claimed a Virginia property as her permanent residence, which could disqualify her from her role. She also missated the number of units existed in another property. Andy closely followed the frivolous case against Trump and is stunned that James would have brought those charges forward with this kind of baggage in her own background.

Former Chief Assistant U.S. Attorney and National Review Contributing Editor Andy McCarthy joins Greg for Tuesday’s 3 Martini Lunch. Today, they tackle Harvard's complaining about the Trump administration's demands, the legal fight over an illegal immigrant deported to El Salvador, and fresh evidence that the left’s climate promises don’t add up.

First, they highlight Harvard’s response to having more than $2 billion in federal grants frozen for refusing to comply with Trump administration orders targeting antisemitism and more. Andy questions why a wealthy institution like Harvard relies on taxpayer dollars at all, but also warns against government overreach—regardless of party. Meanwhile, Greg notes the irony of Harvard objecting to federal pressure when the left regularly uses it to punish conservative schools and organizations.

Next, they examine the legal fight surrounding Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an illegal immigrant deported to El Salvador and now imprisoned there. A federal judge has ruled that Garcia must be returned to the U.S. due to a violation of his due process rights. Andy explains why the court is legally correct and critiques the White House’s arguments on the issue. Greg questions why the U.S. government makes it so easy for people to enter illegally but so difficult to remove them. Andy points to the man he says is responsible for this mess.

Finally, they dissect a Washington Post analysis revealing that many “green” home retrofits don’t produce energy savings for years—or even decades. Andy argues this underscores how the environmental left’s agenda is filled with economic and environmental contradictions. He also points out that some of these so-called green initiatives are actually terrible for the environment in many ways.

Former Chief Assistant U.S. Attorney and National Review Contributing Editor Andy McCarthy is in for Jim on today’s 3 Martini Lunch. Join Andy and Greg as they dig into the latest developments surrounding a Columbia University grad student facing deportation, a chilling arson attack at the Pennsylvania governor’s residence, and former Washington Post columnist Taylor Lorenz’s disturbing praise of an alleged murderer.

First, they discuss an immigration judge in Louisiana agreeing that Columbia University graduate student and anti-Semitic campus agitator Mahmoud Khalil can be deported. Andy explains how U.S. law is clear that aliens and citizens are treated differently under the law in this situation and that aliens can be deported if they are threatening national security. Andy also tees off on political lefties who argue the law in question is seldomly used.

Next, they react to the shocking case of an arsonist breaking into the Pennsylvania governor’s residence on the first night of Passover. The intruder reportedly set the home on fire while Gov. Josh Shapiro and his family were inside. Greg and Andy express hope for swift justice and transparency, while Andy suggests we already offer some strong clues about the motivation for this attack.

Finally, they assess Taylor Lorenz gushing over alleged murderer Luigi Mangione to a CNN reporter. From Lorenz calling Mangione a morally good person to CNN's reporter giggling along with her explanation of why some women are enamored with Mangione, Andy explains why this spectacle is a bad sign for our society and highlights how some elements on the left are far too comfortable with political violence.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour Host Scot Bertram fills in for Jim on 3 Martini Lunch. Join Scot and Greg as they discuss the GOP’s push for consumer freedom, Democrats’ extreme opposition to making sure only citizens can vote, and President Trump’s call to make Daylight Saving Time permanent.

First, they praise President Trump’s executive order restoring consumer choice over showerhead water pressure, along with a U.S. Senate vote to repeal a Biden-era rule targeting gas-powered water heaters. Scot and Greg see these moves as a strong rejection of the left’s absurd climate agenda and unnecessary government interference in everyday life.

Next, they cheer the House passage of the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which would require proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections. Democrats are leveling bizarre claims that the bill would disenfranchise married women who changed their names. Scot and Greg dismantle those arguments and call out Rep. Eric Swalwell and others for resorting to profanity and theatrics to act like they're fighting hard against the GOP.

Finally, as President Trump calls for making Daylight Saving Time (DST) permanent, Scot explains why permanent Standard Time makes far more sense if you're going to make one time permanent. He also points out that America tried year-round DST back in the 1970s and hated it. And, while neither of them particularly enjoy the time changes, Scot and Greg also wonder why so many people are suddenly obsessed with this issue when nobody really seemed to care about it a generation ago.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour Host Scot Bertram fills in for Jim on 3 Martini Lunch. Join Scot and Greg as they break down President Trump’s latest tariff moves, the surprisingly cordial exchange between Trump and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, and the alarming surge of fake college students defrauding taxpayers.

First, they analyze President Trump’s announcement that he will pause most of the tariffs announced last week for the next 90 days, while sharply increasing tariffs on China. Other nations will see a temporary reduction to 10 percent. Greg points to the value of singling out China economically, while Scot highlights how Trump’s approach reflects two consistent patterns in his approach to leadership.

Next, they react to Trump’s unexpected praise for Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, calling her “a very good person” and saying she’s done “an excellent job.” While many conservatives in Michigan strongly disagree, Whitmer echoed support for reshoring manufacturing and expressed understanding of Trump’s tariff policy. Scot and Greg explore what’s behind this odd development and how it could impact Whitmer’s likely 2028 presidential run and more.

Finally, they expose how scammers are siphoning off millions in taxpayer-funded financial aid by enrolling fake students in California’s community college system. Estimates show up to 34 percent of community college applicants in the state may have fraudulent in the most recent statistics. But Scot reveals how the colleges are also bending over backwards trying not to remove these fake students.

Undisputed King of Stuff and Sink the Rising Sun author Jon Gabriel fills in for Jim today. Join Jon and Greg on 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss Maryland reversing its electric vehicle mandate, Democratic attorneys general taking President Trump to court over his executive order on election security, and a federal judge forcing the White House to reopen full access to the Associated Press.

First, they applaud Maryland Gov. Wes Moore for walking back the state’s EV mandate, which would have required 43 percent of new vehicle sales to be electric starting with 2027 models. Moore pointed to the Trump administration suspending funding for EV charging stations—a program that received $7.5 billion under President Biden and produced only eight chargers nationwide. But Jon and Greg also note that just 13 percent of new car sales in Maryland are EVs, highlighting how many Americans simply don’t want them.

Next, they criticize the 19 Democratic state attorneys general suing President Trump over his new executive order to strengthen election security, including a requirement to show proof of citizenship to register to vote. While election rules are primarily left to the states and Congress has some oversight, Jon and Greg are stunned by Democrats’ continued opposition to even the most basic voter integrity measures—opposition that’s likely to flare again soon with the SAVE Act.

Finally, they slam on a federal judge’s ruling requiring the Trump White House to grant Associated Press reporters access to spaces like the Oval Office and Air Force One. Jon and Greg argue this is not a First Amendment issue and question why a court would be involved with this at all. They also express fatigue with the White House press corps constantly acting the victim every time the White House does something reporters don't like.

Join Jim and Greg for 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss breaking news in the New Hampshire Senate race, a poll showing strong public demand for lower federal spending, how Trump-era tariffs may end up weakening Russia, and the strange presidential buzz surrounding ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith.

First, just two days after President Trump publicly backed former New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu for U.S. Senate, Sununu has announced he will not enter the race. Jim and Greg briefly assess how this could impact Republican chances of flipping the seat in 2026.

Next, they dig into a new Wall Street Journal poll showing more than two-thirds of Americans want federal spending cut. While not all support the GOP’s approach, the poll confirms deep frustration with nearly $37 trillion in national debt and massive annual deficits. Jim questions how many Americans would agree on where to cut, while Greg recalls the narrow political window when this debt crisis might have been averted in the 1990s.

Then, they're pleased to see one way Trump’s tariff strategy is already creating pressure on Russia. One of the side effects of the new policy is that oil prices are down significantly since last week. Jim tells us how sustained lower prices could spell big trouble for Putin economically and militarily.

Finally, they roll their eyes at growing chatter about ESPN personality Stephen A. Smith running for president in 2028. And now Smith himself is saying he's starting to think about it. Smith gained attention last year for supporting Kamala Harris but frequently calling out Democrats for being out of touch - especially on some key cultural issues. Jim and Greg dismiss the hype and even joke that Smith wouldn’t be the best presidential pick at ESPN.

Join Jim and Greg for Monday’s 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss President Trump urging former New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu to run for U.S. Senate in 2026, confusion among Trump’s own advisers over the purpose and length of the latest tariffs, and new reporting on how The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg ended up in a classified White House Signal chat about Yemen.

First, they break down President Trump’s full support for former New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu for U.S. Senate in 2026. Trump also revealed that he and Sununu had spoken about the race in the Oval Office. It’s a notable shift in their relationship, which has previously been tense. They also examine the likely Democratic opponent and key dynamics that could shape the race.

Next, Jim analyzes the weekend talk show appearances by several Trump administration officials attempting to explain the new tariffs. He demonstrates how Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, NEC Director Kevin Hassett, trade adviser Peter Navarro, and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick offered conflicting statements about the tariffs’ purpose, duration, and expected economic impact.

Finally, they react to the apparent explanation for how Jeffrey Goldberg gained access to a White House Signal chat about military strikes in Yemen. They dig into the details and why this explanation makes more sense, but Jim still warns that private messaging apps like Signal are not secure enough for these discussions.

Join Jim and Greg for 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss Iran pulling troops out of Yemen under U.S. pressure, a poll showing Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez crushing Sen. Chuck Schumer in a hypothetical primary, and NYC Mayor Eric Adams now running for re-election as an independent as the Democrats choose from a horrible list of candidates.

First, they welcome reports that U.S. strikes in Yemen have forced Iran to pull out its forces. Jim contrasts this development with The New York Times coverage, which criticizes the cost of U.S. munitions. They also enjoy hearing that the Iranians still have no idea how to deal with President Trump and are very nervous about him.

Next, they examine new polling that shows Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez dominating Sen. Chuck Schumer in a potential 2028 New York Democratic Senate primary. While they thoroughly enjoy watching Schumer twist in the political wind, Jim says the left's fascination with AOC proves that image, style, and "vibes" are becoming far too important in how people choose whom to vote for.

Finally, they react to New York City Mayor Eric Adams announcing his re-election run as an independent. But they're also repulsed by the dismal field of Democratic contenders, including disgraced former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and avowed socialist city council member Zohran Mamdani. Greg predicts Mamdani will soon become the progressive media’s latest darling.

Join Jim and Greg for 3 Martini Lunch as they analyze President Trump's latest tariffs, the FBI’s complicity in silencing on the Hunter Biden laptop, and the underwhelming leadership of House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries.

First, they break down Trump’s sweeping new tariffs on most nations and imported automobiles, explaining the economic arguments for and against them and what the impact could be, depending upon how other nations respond. Jim also exposes how tariffs are being applied to places with no human inhabitants or economic relevance. Plus, they explain why anyone who grew up in the 1980s should understand this issue.

Next, they examine newly revealed internal FBI chats proving the agency knew in mid-October 2020 that the Hunter Biden laptop was real and under criminal investigation—yet remained silent while Democrats and the media buried the story.

Finally, while it's good for the GOP, they wonder why House Democrats continue backing Hakeem Jeffries as their leader. His speaking style lacks impact, and he repeatedly pushes unpopular positions—most recently daring Republicans to vote on the SAVE Act, which mandates photo ID and proof of citizenship to vote.

Join Jim and Greg on 3 Martini Lunch as they break down GOP victories in two Florida House special elections, a tough Republican loss in Wisconsin’s Supreme Court race, Sen. Cory Booker’s 25-hour filibuster, and a potential 2026 California governor’s race showdown between two Biden administration alumni.

First, they’re relieved to see Republicans comfortably hold both open House seats in Florida. However, they wince as Democrats celebrate an easy win in Wisconsin’s Supreme Court race, securing a liberal majority. While the left downplays the Florida results, Jim and Greg remind listeners that Democrats previously claimed they had a shot at flipping at least one seat. Meanwhile, Republicans must learn key lessons from Wisconsin ahead of the midterms.

Next, they analyze New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker’s record-breaking 25-hour floor speech, which was long but was not aimed at blocking any legislation or nomination. While Democrats and the media hype it as energizing for their base, it's long term impact is likely minimal at best. Jim and Greg do marvel at Booker’s endurance and explain why he will probably benefit from this more than anyone.

Finally, they examine former Health and Human Services Sec. Xavier Becerra’s entry into the 2026 California governor’s race. While some candidates say they would defer if former Vice President Kamala Harris entered the race, Becerra insists he’s staying in. Does this signal Harris won’t run? Or could it set up a fierce showdown between former Biden administration allies?

Ricochet Co-Founder Rob Long joins Greg for another round of the 3 Martini Lunch! Today, they break down EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin’s aggressive cuts to government waste, a California lawyer’s disturbing tribute to an alleged murderer, and the media’s latest meltdown over Trump teasing a third term.

First, they cheer Zeldin for shutting down the EPA’s costly and little-visited museum focused on environmental justice and climate change—saving taxpayers millions. With more wasteful spending and burdensome regulations under review, Zeldin is emerging as a major force at the agency and Rob suspects Zeldin will have an even brighter political future.

Next, they recoil at a Los Angeles attorney naming his proposed health care ballot measure after accused murderer Luigi Mangione. The Luigi Mangione Access to Health Care Act as a possible state referendum requiring health insurance companies to approve any procedure doctors says is critical to survival or quality of life. But its namesake is charged with the brazen killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson last year in New York City. Rob and Greg discuss the left’s unsettling admiration for this suspect.

Finally, they analyze President Trump’s recent comments about running for a third term. While the Constitution bars such a move, the real story is how effortlessly Trump can provoke the left and the media into another frenzy.

Inez Stepman of the Independent Women's Forum fills in for Jim today on 3 Martini Lunch Join Inez and Greg as they break down President Trump's executive order ending collective bargaining for federal employees in key national security roles, the escalating turmoil at Columbia University, and the backlash Inez faced online for simply expressing gratitude for her husband.

First, Inez explains why Trump's order removing collective bargaining for federal employees at the Pentagon, State Department, Homeland Security, EPA, and other agencies is long overdue. She argues that as head of the executive branch, the president should have the authority to determine who works for him. Inez also highlights the absurd difficulty of firing even the worst-performing federal employees under the current system.

Next, they examine the latest controversy at Columbia University, where President Trump pushed for action against rampant anti-Semitism on campus. Interim President Katrina Armstrong reportedly agreed to Trump's demands to secure $430 million in federal grants but has now resigned amid faculty backlash. Inez shares why it's absurd that Columbia gets so much taxpayer money in the first place and how the school now finds intself in a tight political spot.

Finally, Inez became the center of a social media storm after tweeting her appreciation for her husband taking care of their baby when Inez wasn’t feeling well. The post triggered outrage, with critics arguing men shouldn’t be thanked for basic parenting duties. Inez responds to the backlash and explores why her simple expression of gratitude sparked such intense reactions, particularly among women.

Join Jim and Greg for 3 Martini Lunch as they break down the plunging price of eggs, Trump withdrawing New York Rep. Elise Stefanik’s nomination for U.N. ambassador to keep her in Congress, and the UK’s absurd upcoming ban on ninja swords.

First, they cheer the sharp drop in egg prices, with the average cost of a dozen falling from $8.17 to $2.92 in under a month. They highlight the role of administration policies and the return of egg-laying birds after millions were culled to curb bird flu.

Next, they dissect Trump’s decision to pull Rep. Stefanik’s U.N. nomination—not due to her qualifications but because he needs every Republican vote in Congress. They also suggest it signals concerns over the GOP’s ability to win a special election in Florida next week and hold Stefanik’s seat in New York.

Finally, they shake their heads as UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer pushes a ban on ninja swords in response to rising knife and sword attacks. Unsurprisingly, these attacks increased greatly after the UK enacted strict gun control. Jim and Greg argue that British leftists, like their counterparts in the U.S. and elsewhere, ignore the reality that violent crime stems from the attacker’s evil intentions, not the weapons.

Join Jim and Greg for 3 Martini Lunch as they celebrate a major MS-13 gang leader’s arrest, Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s veto spree against a lot of lousy bills passed by Democrats, and a Texas congressman exposing NPR CEO Katherine Maher’s radical views using her own words.

First, they break down the FBI’s arrest of the top MS-13 leader on the East Coast during an early morning raid in Virginia and carried out with federal, state, and local cooperation. Jim and Greg applaud the move, hoping more gang members are soon locked up or deported. And they are encouraged to see the Justice Department and FBI making this a priority.

Then they stay in Virginia, where Gov. Youngkin recently vetoed nearly 160 bills from the Democrat-controlled legislature. The rejected measures covered gun control, a minimum wage hike, restricted speech outside abortion clinics, and a sweeping “environmental justice” agenda, among others. With a governor’s race looming, Jim warns that Democrats will push these policies into law if they perform well in November.

Finally, they enjoy Texas Rep. Brandon Gill’s grilling of NPR CEO Katherine Maher. Gill methodically exposes Maher’s extreme views on reparations, looting, and other issues—simply by quoting her own past statements.

Join Jim and Greg for 3 Martini Lunch as they analyze Republican special election losses and fears there could be more, the latest revelations on the Signal controversy, and the Biden press team’s heavy-handed control over the media.

First, they break down GOP defeats for the state house and state senate in Pennsylvania, including one which Republicans should have won easily. They also highlight the high-stakes Wisconsin Supreme Court race, where Democratic turnout appears to be stronger. Plus, they note additional concerns over an upcoming Florida House race. But Jim says the good news is that the GOP still has time to recover in both Wisconsin and Florida.

Next, they dive into The Atlantic’s publication of Signal messages from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, revealing details about planned U.S. military actions against the Houthis. National Security Adviser Michael Waltz downplayed the report by noting critical details that were not included in Hegseth's comments. So where does this debate stand now?

Finally, they react to a former Jill Biden media staffer’s claims that President Biden’s press team not only demanded to know reporters’ questions in advance but also dictated which interview quotes could be published after the conversations took place.

Join Jim and Greg for 3 Martini Lunch as they dive into the Signal chat involving top national security leaders before the U.S. strikes on the Houthis, a surprisingly tight special election in a deep red Florida House district, and the privacy fallout as 23andMe files for bankruptcy and searches for a buyer.

First, they break down Jeffrey Goldberg’s report in The Atlantic, which reveals he was inadvertently added to an encrypted Signal group chat of top national security officials discussing the imminent attack on the Iran-backed Houthis. The White House confirms the chat’s existence and contents. While Jim and Greg support the policy toward the Houthis, they argue such sensitive discussions must happen through more secure channels.

Next, they analyze the unexpectedly competitive special election in Florida’s heavily Republican 6th Congressional District—previously held by National Security Adviser Michael Waltz. With mail-in ballots and early voting indicating a close race, Jim and Greg explain why special elections can produce surprising outcomes but there's no reason the GOP shouldn't win this election.

Finally, they react to the news that genetic testing giant 23andMe is filing for bankruptcy and seeking a buyer—potentially putting customers’ DNA in the hands of the highest bidder. While this raises serious privacy concerns, Jim and Greg see it as a critical lesson: never voluntarily hand over your DNA.

Join Jim and Greg for three good martinis on 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss President Trump’s approval of the F-47 fighter jet, the future political ambitions of the DeSantis family, and mounting evidence that Democrats have alienated young men in a historic way. Plus, they make a somber champagne toast to the late former Utah Rep. Mia Love.

First, they welcome Trump’s approval of the F-47, a cutting-edge, sixth-generation stealth fighter capable of reaching Mach 2. This decision underscores the administration’s focus on military readiness and warfighting capabilities. Jim also explains how this decision impacts the growing debate about whether manned fighters are needed in the age of drones.

Next, Jim shares insights from the National Review Institute’s Ideas Summit, where he interviewed Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp and hosted a discussion with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and his wife, Casey. Rumors are swirling that Casey DeSantis is considering a 2026 gubernatorial run, and Jim explains why there's a very good chance Mrs. DeSantis will jump in the race. He also notes the surprising ways she would be different than her husband as governor.

Then, they analyze fresh evidence that Gen Z men are shifting right, possibly in a huge, permanent way. Jim explores why this realignment doesn’t surprise him, pointing to how the left’s approach to education has driven young men toward conservatism. While time will tell, current data suggests this could be the most dramatic political shift among a generation in modern history.

Finally, they raise a champagne toast to former Utah Rep. Mia Love, who passed away from brain cancer. She was just 49 years old. Greg shares excerpts from a recent column Love wrote about the America she cherished, while Jim reflects on her time in Congress and the political future she might have had until cancer robbed her of it.

Undisputed King of Stuff and Sink the Rising Sun author Jon Gabriel fills in for Jim today. Join Jon and Greg as they analyze President Trump's executive order to dismantle the Department of Education, the release of an American prisoner from the Taliban, and a plurality of Democrats being fed up with their own party's leaders in Congress.

First, they commend President Trump's decision to phase out the Department of Education, citing the decline in student performance since its creation in 1979. Jon and Greg explain how this move won’t end public education but will likely improve it by shifting control to state and local officials. They also push back against Democrats like Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who frame this as an existential crisis for schools.

Next, they celebrate the release of American George Glezmann, who had been held hostage by the Taliban. While relieved that no Taliban members were freed in exchange, Jon and Greg criticize the Biden administration for failing to classify Glezmann as "improperly detained" for more than a year. They also slam the media for downplaying the plight of Americans imprisoned or killed by oppressive regimes and terrorist groups.

Finally, they break down polling showing more Democrats view their congressional leadership negatively than positively. They also discuss the possibility of a tea party-style movement pushing the party further left and marvel at how Democrats continue to misread voter sentiment.

Undisputed King of Stuff and Sink the Rising Sun author Jon Gabriel fills in for Jim today. Join Jon and Greg as they discuss New York’s top court striking down non-citizen voting, the widening political divide between men and women—especially by education level—and a New York City mayoral candidate pushing for government-run grocery stores.

First, they welcome the New York Court of Appeals decision to strike down a New York City law that allowed non-citizens to vote in local elections. They emphasize the importance of restricting voting to citizens and warn of the risks posed by non-citizen participation. Jon also explains why similar efforts have failed to gain traction in his state of Arizona.

Next, they analyze NBC News polling that reveals a stark divide in political views between men and women, particularly between non-college-educated men and college-educated women. Jon explores why college-educated women have shifted so far left and shares insights from his college-age daughters and their peers about how they view politics and what ideas they are encountering on campus.

Finally, they critique New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s proposal for government-run grocery stores with artificially low prices. They explain why it's bad economics and point to the Soviet Union as a glaring example of why this approach cannot work and always ends in misery.

Join Jim and Greg for 3 Martini Lunch as they break down SpaceX’s dramatic rescue of American astronauts, Chuck Schumer’s struggle to survive mounting pressure from the left, and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s relentless bid for political relevance.

First, they celebrate the safe return of astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams after their planned eight-day mission stretched into more than nine months aboard the International Space Station. They credit SpaceX and Elon Musk for achieving what Boeing and the federal government could not—while dismissing weak arguments that the astronauts weren’t truly stranded.

Next, they grab the popcorn as Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer faces an uproar from progressives after helping Republicans break the filibuster to keep the government open. With at least one House Democrat calling for new leadership and many others still fuming, Schumer attempted damage control on The View—only to alienate business owners by mocking their complaints over high taxes.

Finally, they groan as Gov. Tim Walz keeps forcing himself into the political spotlight with speeches in multiple states. While he has every right to speak out, it’s now widely accepted that his addition to Kamala Harris’s ticket last year didn’t help, and there’s little indication he has any lasting influence in the party.

Join Jim and Greg for 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss a proposed metric for sports teams seeking taxpayer funds for new stadiums, a major blunder by the Associated Press, and the media figures who finally admit the government lied to us about COVID but also portray themselves as victims of those lies.

First, they applaud a Democrat in the Illinois legislature for introducing the BEARS Act, which would require professional sports teams to win at least half their games three times in five years to qualify for taxpayer-funded stadium projects. While Jim and Greg oppose any public funding for stadiums, they argue that if it must happen, teams should have to earn it.

Next, they dissect an embarrassing correction from the Associated Press. The AP falsely reported that Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said President Trump and Russia's Vladimir Putin were "very good friends," when she was actually referring to Trump and India’s Narendra Modi. Greg notes how these corrections always seem to fix a story that falsely painted the right in a negative light. Jim explains the journalistic standards that should prevent such errors.

Finally, they react to the New York Times finally admitting that governments misled the public about the COVID outbreak and many pandemic-related policies. While they welcome the acknowledgment, they have no sympathy for the Times and others who spent years attacking anyone who questioned the official narrative. Jim also highlights how conservative instincts helped drive the momentum toward the truth about COVID’s origins and more.

Join Jim and Greg for 3 Martini Lunch as they analyze President Trump’s decision to strike Iran-backed Houthi terrorists in Yemen, former Sen. Kyrsten Sinema exposing the Democrats' hypocrisy on the filibuster, and Trump’s claim that President Biden’s pardons are invalid. They also pay tribute to two influential figures on the right who recently passed away.

First, they support Trump’s move to target Houthi militants for their ongoing attacks on U.S. and allied ships in the Red Sea. Jim explains why the strikes are justified and responds to concerns about escalating conflict and whether Trump has congressional authorization.

Next, they enjoy watching former Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema call out the Democrats’ blatant filibuster hypocrisy. Sinema became a pariah in her own party for refusing to kill the legislative filibuster. Now she's gleefully highlighting the same Democrats for demanding that Senate Democrats filibuster the government spending bill last week.

Then, they consider Trump’s assertion that Biden’s pardons are invalid because they were signed with an autopen and possibly without Biden’s awareness. They cite past evidence of Biden’s confusion over executive orders but doubt Trump could legally overturn the pardons—a precedent he might later appreciate. They also offer some ingenious ideas for speeding up the resolution of all the legal challenges to Trump's policies.

Finally, they pay tribute to two important figures on the right who died last week. First, they remember former Wyoming Sen. Alan Simpson. Then they reflect upon the life of longtime Reagan speechwriter Tony Dolan, who had a significant impact on Jim's career.

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down deep divisions among Democrats over the spending bill, the Virginia GOP’s steep challenges in this year’s elections, and the House Democrats losing two members in just over a week.

First, Republicans finally get a chance to watch Democrats openly feud over whether to pass a spending bill to prevent a partial government shutdown. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer now reluctantly supports the bill, sparking an intense backlash from progressives. Jim also explains how Democrats are struggling to accept their minority status in Congress.

Next, they wince at the prospects for Virginia Republicans in this year's elections. They usually don't go well for the party that holds the White House. Virginia is also home to the second most federal employees in the nation, and the DOGE cuts are likely to be unpopular in the DC suburbs. Republicans do have an excellent candidate in Lt. Gov. Winsome Sears, but will the headwinds against her be too strong?

Finally, they discuss the passing of Arizona Rep. Raul Grijalva, marking the second House Democrat to die in under two weeks. They note the oddity of Grijalva’s X account continuing to post after his death and also examine how these vacancies will impact the House until special elections are held to fill those vacancies.

Join Jim and Greg for 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss badly needed regulatory relief coming soon from the EPA, Russia rejecting a ceasefire with Ukraine while demanding more concessions, and Pete Buttigieg’s decision to skip a U.S. Senate run to focus on a 2028 presidential bid.

First, after clarifying a point from Wednesday’s podcast, they cheer EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin for targeting several of the most burdensome environmental regulations. Zeldin maintains that these rollbacks will cut costs and ease restrictions on businesses and families without compromising environmental standards.

Next, they analyze Russia’s refusal to agree to a ceasefire with Ukraine and insisting on more concessions before any serious negotiations. Jim argues that Vladimir Putin wouldn’t honor any deal he signs, while Greg asks how President Trump could pressure Russia into reconsidering its position.

Finally, they react to reports that former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg won’t run for U.S. Senate in Michigan and is instead eyeing a 2028 White House bid. They highlight his lack of achievements and Jim explains why he thinks the Democrats need a very different type of candidate in the next campaign.

Join Jim and Greg for 3 Martini Lunch as they break down another Senate Democrat retirement that has Republicans eyeing a pickup, a suspicious document destruction order at USAID, and the GOP debate over federal spending.

First, they react to New Hampshire Sen. Jeanne Shaheen’s decision not to seek a fourth term, making her the third Senate Democrat to retire this cycle. This creates a prime GOP pickup opportunity in 2026, especially if former Gov. Chris Sununu enters the race. They also take a peek at key Senate races in North Carolina and Minnesota.

Next, they react to a troubling directive at USAID, where employees were urgently ordered to shred or burn sensitive documents. The acting executive secretary’s directive raises alarms, and Jim questions why USAID would even possess so many classified materials. They argue this incident further fuels public skepticism about government waste and secrecy.

Finally, they tackle the clash between President Trump and Republican Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie over federal spending. Massie opposes the GOP-backed bill to fund the government at current levels through September, prompting Trump to denounce him and vow that Massie will face a tough primary next year. Jim and Greg ask when Republicans will finally enforce fiscal discipline—and whether it will happen later this year.

Join Jim and Greg on 3 Martini Lunch as they actually find a couple of good martinis today! They break down why voters still deeply distrust Democrats, assess the fallout from Monday’s market selloff, and examine the Pentagon cutting some very questionable projects.

First, they dive into a revealing poll from the Democrats’ own data, showing that a strong majority of Americans believe the left doesn’t care about them, disrespects hard work, and is overly obsessed with political correctness. With the 2026 midterms approaching, Democrats face a steep uphill battle to regain voter trust.

Next, they analyze the sharp declines in the Dow Jones, NASDAQ, and S&P 500 on Monday. Even more concerning, experts warn that continued selling could be ahead due to uncertainty over tariffs and recession fears. With wildly varying economic forecasts, Jim and Greg discuss what this could mean in the coming months.

Finally, they shake their heads—and share a few laughs—at the 91 Pentagon programs just slashed by the Defense Department. From climate change to time itself, the bizarre and often absurd project names highlight just how much waste was lurking in the budget.

Join Jim and Greg as they break down three major developments in the Middle East, from the slaughter of Christians and other minorities in Syria to the U.S. administration’s mixed messaging on Hamas, and Tucker Carlson trying to convince us that Iran should not be one of America's major concerns.

First, they react to the horrific sectarian violence erupting in Syria just days after Jim’s departure. Reports confirm that over a thousand Christians, Alawites, and Druze were killed by forces aligned with HTS—the Islamist group that toppled Assad and had pledged not to persecute minorities. Jim rejects the claim that Assad was a better protector for them while Greg stresses that HTS is proving to be just another radical faction wielding power through oppression.

Next, they analyze the Trump administration’s contradictory approach to Hamas. Just last week, Trump warned of death and destruction for the terror group if all hostages were not released. Yet by Sunday, his envoy was meeting directly with Hamas officials and even suggesting they might be “pretty nice guys.”

Finally, they sigh as Tucker Carlson suggests Fox News and others are trying to foment a war with Iran and that if you look at the number of Americans Iran has killed "on American soil," we have far bigger concerns in our own country. Jim and Greg reject Carlson's terms for judging Iran and do not want a war with Tehran. But they do stress the importance of keeping Iran in check as it reportedly nears deployable nuclear weapons.

Join Jim and Greg for this special edition of the 3 Martini Lunch as Jim shares why he returned to Ukraine and made his first visit to Syria, the mindset of Ukrainians entering the fourth year of war, and what he observed in Syria just months after the fall of the Assad regime.

First, Jim explains what led to his third trip to Ukraine, how he got closer to the front lines than ever before, and how his travel companions persuaded him to add Syria to his itinerary. He also describes some of the tense moments he experienced in both countries, more than on his previous visits to Ukraine.

Next, Jim recounts his time in Ukraine, detailing how locals reacted to major headlines from the Trump administration while he was there. He describes what he saw near—but not at—the front lines, including elderly Russian women wounded by their own country’s bombing yet receiving care in Ukraine. He also introduces us to “Twitch,” an American who overcame his own reluctance to follow God’s call and is now making a profound impact by helping injured Ukrainians.

Finally, Jim takes us to Syria, where he witnessed life just months after Bashar al-Assad’s ouster in December and after many years of a brutal civil war. He explains the cautious optimism in parts of the country, including among Christian and Jewish minorities. And Jim offers us a verbal glimpse of Idlib, which he calls “jihad metropolis.”

Join us for all this and more from Jim’s on-the-ground reporting in Ukraine and Syria.

Join Jim and Greg for the 3 Martini Lunch as they applaud President Trump’s push for a stronger Navy, question Gavin Newsom’s sudden shift on a major cultural issue, and react to Rep. Maxine Waters’ wild accusations against Elon Musk.

First, they welcome Trump’s renewed focus on expanding the Navy with more warships and submarines to strengthen deterrence and project U.S. power globally. With America’s naval capabilities lagging, Jim notes that allied cooperation will be crucial to rebuilding dominance on the seas.

Next, they analyze why California Gov. Gavin Newsom is now admitting that allowing males in girls’ sports is unfair. Is this a genuine policy shift, or just political posturing towards a likely presidential bid? Jim wonders whether the Democrats are finally ready to drop this losing issue and whether they will try to make the public forget they were ever in favor of allowing men to compete against women.

Finally, they react as Rep. Maxine Waters claims Elon Musk somehow manipulated the 2024 election and suggests he should be deported. Jim dismantles her conspiracy theories and highlights the irony of targeting a legal immigrant while ignoring other border issues.

Jim Geraghty is back! Join Jim and Greg as they analyze President Trump’s speech to Congress, focusing most intently on immigration, tariffs, and the Democrats’ antics.

First, they argue that Trump has every right to highlight his swift success in restoring order at the southern border after just six weeks in office. While Democrats scoffed at Trump’s claim that the U.S. didn’t need a new law but a new president to stop illegal immigration, the results speak for themselves.

Next, they critique Trump’s plan to impose reciprocal tariffs worldwide in April. Jim warns that these tariffs could drive up prices for American consumers and contradict Trump’s own promise to curb the inflation that defined the Biden years.

Finally, they dissect the Democrats’ antics, from refusing to stand for Trump’s entrance to heckling and ignoring even bipartisan moments. And when MSNBC weighed in, it became clear the left is still reeling from November’s election results—something Tuesday night made undeniable.

Former Chief Assistant U.S. Attorney and National Review Contributing Editor Andy McCarthy joins Greg for today’s 3 Martini Lunch. They break down Senate Democrats blocking a ban on males in women's sports, Andy’s argument that Trump is most to blame for the Oval Office confrontation with Zelensky, and Andrew Cuomo’s political comeback as he runs for mayor of New York City.

First, they highlight how every Senate Democrat voted against legislation barring men from competing in women’s sports, preventing the bill from advancing. They explain why Democrats refuse to change course, even as they keep handing Republicans a potent campaign issue.

Next, Andy asserts that the biggest problem in Friday’s heated Oval Office exchange was Trump himself—allowing the photo-op to drag on, failing to grasp the Russian threat, and positioning himself as neutral between Russia and Ukraine. He also argues against the type of war resolution Trump appears to support.

Finally, they react as disgraced former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo officially launches his mayoral bid. While Cuomo correctly identifies many of New York City’s biggest issues, Andy reminds listeners that Cuomo’s own policies are largely responsible for the city’s decline.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour Host Scot Bertram fills in for Jim on 3 Martini Lunch. Join Scot and Greg as they analyze the stunning border numbers from February, the fiery Trump-Zelensky-Vance exchange in the Oval Office, and yet another example of how an excessively high minimum wage backfires on businesses and employees.

First, they break down the incredible news that just 8,326 people attempted to illegally cross the southern border in all of February—far below the daily figures often seen under the Biden administration. They explain how the shift in border policy sent a clear message to would-be

Next, they dissect Friday’s tense Oval Office exchange between President Trump, Vice President Vance, and Ukrainian President Zelensky. While major issues remain before a meaningful resolution to the Russia-Ukraine war can take shape, Scot argues that Friday’s visit was primarily about finalizing the minerals deal as a stepping stone toward a broader agreement—something Zelensky mishandled. Greg outlines the key disagreements between the two sides but suggests the incident doesn't have to derail U.S.-Ukraine relations. Meanwhile, Jim Geraghty, writing from overseas, strongly disagrees.

Finally, they discuss a new study confirming that California’s $20 minimum wage for fast-food workers has led to job losses, higher prices, and increased automation. It’s a predictable outcome that progressives continue to ignore despite clear economic realities.

Before heading out on his trip, Jim and Greg recorded a special episode analyzing the Trump administration’s early weeks, covering key issues from the economy to foreign policy and cultural battles.

First, they break down the economy. Jim highlights Trump’s positive moves on taxes and deregulation but warns that tariffs, particularly against Canada and Mexico, could backfire. Greg focuses on DOGE’s efforts to track government spending and the Democrats’ unhinged reaction to the audit. But will it lead to real fiscal responsibility? He’s skeptical.

Next, they assess foreign affairs. Jim notes that Iran and its proxies have curbed their aggression under Trump, and decisive action is being taken against terrorists. However, he criticizes Trump’s habit of publicly chastising U.S. allies. Greg argues that Trump’s unpredictability is a strength but warns he must be ready for the consequences of issuing ultimatums.

Finally, they tackle cultural issues. Jim praises Trump for rooting out DEI from the federal government but cautions that some newfound conservative allies—like those opposing men in women’s sports—won’t align on other issues. Greg agrees Trump has handled the major cultural fights well but stresses that he must stay focused on core voter concerns: inflation and immigration.

Oh, and if you hear Jim and Greg joking about a calamity prompting this episode, don’t worry—they’re both fine! Jim is set to return for regular episodes early next week.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour Host Scot Bertram fills in for Jim on 3 Martini Lunch. Join Scot and Greg as they discuss Jeff Bezos' pledge to make The Washington Post's op-ed page a champion of personal and economic freedom, the blatant hypocrisy of Democrats on immigration, and the media’s shifting narrative on inflation.

First, they cautiously welcome Bezos' public commitment to discussing the virtues of personal liberty and free markets. While they dislike his stance that opposing views won’t be featured, they appreciate that arguments for limited government will reach a wider audience.

Next, they highlight the astonishing hypocrisy of congressional Democrats. After years of condemning Trump’s deportation policies, they’ve suddenly found an immigrant they don’t trust. Ohio Rep. Marcy Kaptur is now questioning Elon Musk’s loyalty to the U.S. because he's only been in the country for 22 years.

Finally, they call out the media’s sudden concern over rising egg prices after years of downplaying inflation under Biden. While they agree Trump isn’t responsible for the cost of eggs, they note voters will soon demand real results from him on both food prices and overall inflation.

Former Chief Assistant U.S. Attorney and National Review Contributing Editor Andy McCarthy joins Greg on today’s 3 Martini Lunch in place of Jim. They discuss the White House taking control over press pool selections, Trump’s tariffs jeopardizing a major political and economic opportunity with Canada, and CNN’s Jake Tapper writing a book about the cover-up of Joe Biden’s decline—after helping cover it up himself.

First, Andy and Greg analyze the White House’s new policy on press pool access for the Oval Office and Air Force One. While Andy thinks the White House wording on the policy shift is over the top, he says the the Trump press team has largely made a point of adding new voices rather than silencing others.

Next, they critique Trump’s plan to impose 25 percent tariffs on Canada and Mexico starting in March. Beyond the likelihood of higher prices for Americans, they highlight how these tensions have weakened Canada's conservative party, which once seemed poised for a massive victory but is now struggling. While Trump shouldn’t prioritize Canadian politics, a conservative government there would align far better with his policies than Justin Trudeau’s far-left successor.

Finally, they call out the stunning hypocrisy of CNN’s Jake Tapper. After downplaying and denying Biden’s cognitive decline for years, Tapper is now co-authoring a book exposing Biden’s decline and the efforts to conceal it. Andy and Greg document how Biden's decline was blatantly obvious for anyone honestly paying attention.

Former Chief Assistant U.S. Attorney and National Review Contributing Editor Andy McCarthy is in for Jim on today’s 3 Martini Lunch. Join Andy and Greg as they break down why property taxes are a big government scam, how Elon Musk’s email controversy could legally benefit DOGE, and the disturbing ways intelligence agencies allow employees to spend their workdays discussing their bizarre sexual issues—all on the taxpayer’s dime.

First, they applaud Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for exposing the absurdity of property taxes and how the government forces homeowners to pay yearly taxes on property they already own and have already been taxed on. Andy also highlights how progressives manipulate the assessment system to unfairly burden both the wealthy and the poor to raise money for their insatiable appetite for big government.

Next, Andy digs into his column on how Elon Musk's weekend order may have been an impulsive command to President Trump's comments, but the refusal of multiple cabinet-level officials to comply with the directive could actually strengthen DOGE’s legal position in the long run.

Finally, parental discretion is advised as Greg and Andy react with disgust to reports that NSA, CIA, and DIA employees spent their work hours in two NSA LGBT chatrooms discussing their trans identities and explicit fetishes. Even worse, NSA leadership defends this behavior as "not only mission critical but mission imperative." Andy questions how these agencies, which repeatedly fail to anticipate major global events yet demand more funding, have time to foster and participate in such activities.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour Host Scot Bertram fills in for Jim on 3 Martini Lunch. Join Scot and Greg as they break down Elon Musk’s Saturday email to federal employees, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson’s disastrous poll numbers, and blue states setting themselves up for another humiliating defeat over girls’ sports.

First, they analyze Musk’s DOGE email to federal employees, demanding they reply by midnight Monday with five accomplishments from the past week. Scot explains how this is common in the private sector, especially during management transitions, and argues that a short email shouldn’t be a major burden. Greg says the current amount of spending in our government in simply unsustainable. But he does hope government downsizing can be done as orderly as possible.

Next, they react to a shocking new poll showing Mayor Brandon Johnson with a dismal 6.6 percent approval rating and an overwhelming 80% disapproval. Scot, a Chicago-area native, walks through Johnson’s long list of failures and explains how the mayor’s leadership has left him more than 73 points underwater with voters less than two years into his term.

Finally, they shake their heads as lefties in multiple states insist on losing ground legally and politically by resisting President Trump's executive order removing federal funds for states and locales who allow males to participate in girls' and women's sports. They specifically highlight Trump's public exchange with Maine Gov. Janet Mills and the Michigan High School Athletic Association refusing to change its policy.

Inez Stepman of the Independent Women's Forum fills in for Jim on the 3 Martini Lunch podcast. Join Inez and Greg as they discuss Sen. Mitch McConnell announcing he won't run again, the latest unspeakable atrocities committed by Hamas, and how federal agencies are making DOGE-related budget cuts painful for the public.

First, they analyze Mitch McConnell’s decision to retire after 42 years in the Senate and 18 years as GOP leader, and they assess his performance. They credit McConnell for defending free speech, blocking left-wing policies, and confirming conservative judicial nominees. However, they criticize his failure to address federal spending and his lack of progress on conservative priorities during Republican control of the Senate.

Next, Inez and Greg express their outrage over the latest atrocities perpetrated by Hamas, including a gruesome ceremony involving the return of hostages' remains and reports detailing how the two young brothers who were brutally murdered. In addition, the remains of their mother, Shiri Bibas, were excluded from the return to Israel. With Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowing reprisals, Inez and Greg reflect on the critical details of the Bibas family's abduction and the role of the Red Cross in facilitating the spectacle we saw this week.

Inez and Greg discuss government-run sites making DOGE-related budget cuts as painful as possible for visitors. They highlight three instances of "malicious compliance" and recall past government shutdown tactics used by Democrats to needlessly inconvenience the public.

Inez Stepman of the Independent Women's Forum fills in for Jim today. Join Inez and Greg for 3 Martini Lunch as they analyze the U.S. decision to designate cartels and gangs as terrorist organizations, President Trump’s sharp criticism of Ukrainian President Zelensky, and the latest developments on congestion tolls in New York City, where Andrew Cuomo's political ambitions are taking shape.

First, they commend the State Department for labeling MS-13, Tren de Aragua, and several cartels as terrorist organizations. They discuss why this designation matters, the impact it may have, and how it aligns with Trump’s national security strategy.

Next, they break down President Trump’s strong criticism of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. They examine where Trump’s rhetoric diverges from the facts and how how Trump most likely believes this statement will help bring the war to an end. And while Trump and others have suggested possible Ukrainian concessions to reach a deal, Greg and Inez also consider what demands should be placed on Russia.

Finally, they dive into two major news items in New York City, where Inez resides. They assess the battle between the Trump administration and Gov. Kathy Hochul over congestion tolls. Plus, they react to reports that former Gov. Andrew Cuomo is likely to announce his run for mayor before the month ends.

Inez Stepman of the Independent Women's Forum fills in for Jim on this episode of the 3 Martini Lunch podcast. Join Inez and Greg as they discuss Trump’s legislative priorities, his controversial executive order on in vitro fertilization (IVF), and the role COVID played in shifting young men towards Trump in the 2024 elections.

First, Inez and Greg break down Trump’s call for a single reconciliation bill to tackle border policy, energy, defense, and tax cuts. Trump is aligning with the House strategy, while the Senate currently plans to divide the issues into two separate bills. Inez explains how this demonstrates what Trump learned from his legislative approach eight years ago and why he’s likely to get what he wants in the end.

Next, they discuss Trump’s executive order aimed at making in vitro fertilization more accessible and more affordable. They both agree taxpayers shouldn’t be footing the bill for IVF treatments. Greg says while IVF provides hope to married couples struggling with infertility, it also results in the destruction of human life in many cases. Inez opposes the executive order, warning it could accelerate the troubling rise of "designer babies" and genetic engineering. They also stress that the government should focus on making it easier and more affordable for families looking to adopt children already born.

Finally, they explore polling and analysis from The Atlantic that suggests COVID lockdowns and the erosion of trust in experts have contributed to a significant shift in young men’s political allegiance towards Donald Trump. Inez points out that the COVID era coincided with the peak of the woke movement, and many young men grew frustrated with being blamed for society’s problems.

Undisputed King of Stuff and Sink the Rising Sun author Jon Gabriel is in for Jim today. Join Jon and Greg as they dive into Sen. Kennedy's hilarious but accurate diagnosis of Democrats, NGO's running out of customers for their migrant facilities along the border, and whether New York Gov. Kathy Hochul will remove New York City Mayor Eric Adams.

First, Jon and Greg share their amusement over Louisiana Sen. John Kennedy’s insightful and often hilarious analysis of the Democratic Party’s struggles in the 2024 elections. Kennedy accurately points out why Democrats fared poorly, and both Jon and Greg believe that the DNC’s recent elections prove the party still hasn't learned the lessons needed for future success.

Next, they welcome the news that a prominent NGO is shutting the doors of its San Diego migrant shelter because no migrants have shown up there since Trump became president. While the NGO cites Trump’s deactivation of the CBP One app, Jon and Greg suggest that tougher border policies and greater scrutiny of NGO funding are also significant factors at play.

Finally, Jon and Greg discuss the latest rumors surrounding New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and her potential removal of NYC Mayor Eric Adams from office. Democrats accuse Adams of assisting President Trump's efforts to deport criminal illegal immigrants in exchange for Justice Department favors, Jon and Greg largely agree on what is really happening here and shudder at the thought this could all be setting up the return of Andrew Cuomo to big time New York politics.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour Host Scot Bertram fills in for Jim. Join Scot and Greg for the 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss CBS News' attacks on free speech, the significant decline in illegal border crossings, and how the right is outpacing the left on political messaging. They also offer their quick thoughts on the 50th anniversary of Saturday Night Live.

They start with a deep dive into multiple efforts by CBS News to undermine free speech. Scot and Greg explore the controversial comments made by Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan, who suggested that too much free speech contributed to the rise of the Nazis and the Holocaust. They also take aim at 60 Minutes' favorable coverage of German laws prosecuting individuals for allegedly posting offensive or false information online. They explain why CBS is taking this dangerous position and how it distorts the concept of free speech.

Next, the hosts celebrate the dramatic drop in illegal border crossings. They highlight a report showing just 229 illegal crossings on Sunday, a stark contrast to the peak numbers during the Biden administration. Greg attributes the sharp decline to policies enacted by the Trump administration that ended the incentives for illegal immigration, while Scot points out that President Biden could have implemented similar measures to achieve these results but refused.

Then they marvel at a new Politico report in which Democrats acknowledge that Republicans are "running circles" around them in terms of political messaging, which has almost never been the case. Scot explains why this is a significant development for the left, and how it explains their efforts, along with the media, to suppress free speech.

Finally, Scot shares his thoughts on Sunday's 50th anniversary special for Saturday Night Live and which moments stood out in the program.

Join Jim and Greg on 3 Martini Lunch Podcast, where they dive into Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s refreshing priorities at the Pentagon, Vice President Vance’s accurate diagnosis of Germany’s issues, Trump’s approach to inflation, and the left’s relentless legal efforts to slow the Trump agenda.

First, they focus on Hegseth's call for a focus on military readiness rather than Pentagon climate change initiatives. Jim and Greg applaud Hegseth for ensuring the Pentagon prioritizes building a military capable of deterring and winning wars. They also discuss Vice President Vance’s remarks on the Russia-Ukraine war and his critique of German policies that have weakened the country’s position on the global stage over the past two decades.

Next, they analyze the latest inflation numbers and reject the left’s immediate attempt to blame Trump for a three percent year-over-year increase in January. While they acknowledge that economic changes take time, they highlight that Americans will expect real progress by the end of the year and especially ahead of the midterms. They agree with Trump's cost-cutting efforts and unleashing American energy to drive prices lower. Will that get the job done?

Finally, they sigh as Democrats launch lawsuit after lawsuit to stop as much of the Trump agenda as possible. While issues like birthright citizenship were always likely to end up in court, the left's relentless efforts to roll back orders that are clearly within Trump's powers, are simply a nuisance. Trump will ultimately prevail in most of these cases, but long will it take to get there?

Join Jim and Greg for 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss another Senate Democrat retiring in 2026, Hamas planning to release more hostages but not meeting Trump’s demands, and Rep. Schakowsky speculating whether the term “manufacturing” discourages women from pursuing those jobs.

First, they react to the surprising news that Minnesota Sen. Tina Smith will not seek re-election in 2026. While Democrats remain favored in the race, Jim and Greg note that multiple retirements signal deeper concerns within the party. They also examine the Democrats’ bleak outlook at the state level in New Hampshire and how strong candidate selection will be crucial for the GOP’s chances of flipping Georgia’s Senate seat in 2026.

They also analyze Hamas' decision to release hostages based on the existing ceasefire agreement but not comply with Trump’s demand to release all captives by Saturday. Jim warns that allowing Hamas to ignore this ultimatum without consequences could weaken the U.S. position, and he argues that the Trump administration must have a clear response.

Finally, they shake their heads as Illinois Democratic Rep. Jan Schakowsky questions whether the term “manufacturing” deters women from pursuing such careers because it “sounds like a guy.” Jim sees this as yet another example of Democrats resorting to ridiculous rhetoric and political stunts as they struggle with their dwindling influence in Washington.

Join Jim and Greg on 3 Martini Lunch as they focus on a new Michigan poll suggesting Republicans have the edge in the 2026 Senate race, the Dems' hysterical focus on Elon Musk and DOGE, and the White House barring the Associated Press from an Oval Office gathering because it won't acknowledge the Gulf of America,

First, Jim and Greg analyze a very early poll showing Republican Mike Rogers leading Pete Buttigieg in a hypothetical U.S. Senate matchup. Could the GOP win a Senate seat in Michigan for the first time in more than 30 years? They also discuss the weak fundraising numbers from New Hampshire Senator Jeanne Shaheen and debate whether New Hampshire might present a valuable GOP pickup opportunity in the 2026 elections.

Next, Jim and Greg dive into the Democrats’ exaggerated outrage over "unelected bureaucrats" making decisions within the executive branch, particularly regarding the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Democrats have long used the administrative state to push their policies, yet they now criticize the same system they’ve relied on.. However, they do encourage Elon Musk and his team to be more transparent about what they are finding so the American people can see it all.

Finally, Jim and Greg react to the ongoing spat between the White House and the Associated Press (AP) over press access to the Oval Office. The White House allegedly blocked the AP from a pool of reporters during an Oval Office event because the wire service refuses to use “Gulf of America” instead of the preferred “Gulf of Mexico.”

Join Jim and Greg for the 3 Martini Lunch podcast, where they break down President Trump’s ultimatum to Hamas, the return of Fort Bragg's name in a clever way, and alarming reports of FBI figures allegedly tipping off illegal immigrants about ICE raids.

First, President Trump is issuing a stern warning to Hamas, saying that hell will be unleashed if all hostages are not released by Saturday. His ultimatum comes as Hamas pauses its release of hostages, claiming Israel has violated the terms of the ceasefire. Jim believes Trump's anger over the condition of released hostages is evident, and they both think the vague nature of Trump's threat is a smart way to put pressure on the terrorists.

Next, Jim and Greg applaud Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s decision to rename Fort Liberty in North Carolina back to Fort Bragg. The name had been familiar to many, and this change not only ends the confusion but also shifts the honor to a different individual named Bragg—a U.S. Army PFC who heroically fought at the Battle of the Bulge, rather than the Confederate general.

Finally, they react to disturbing allegations that some FBI figures and other government sources are tipping off illegal immigrants about pending ICE raids aimed at removing criminals and others who are in the U.S. illegally. Jim says anyone who has a problem with the policy needs to resign or ask for a transfer. And anyone who deliberately undermines it should face stiff penalties.

Join Jim and Greg for 3 Martini Lunch as they analyze strong CBS poll numbers for President Trump, his controversial Labor Secretary pick, and their thoughts on Super Bowl LIX.

First, they react to President Trump's positive poll numbers just three weeks into his term. Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan appeared less than pleased to report Trump's 53% approval rating and that 70% of Americans believe he's keeping his promises. They discuss how future polling will depend on Trump's handling of unexpected events and argue that the media's relentless negativity isn't swaying public opinion much at all.

Next, they examine the push to derail Trump's Labor Secretary pick, former Oregon Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer. The National Right to Work Committee warns that she backs the PRO Act, which would ban the right to work without union membership and severely impact freelancers. They also question whether this nomination is a reward for some labor unions refusing Kamala Harris or whether Trump is shifting his stance on labor policy. But in all honesty, blocking this nomination will be very difficult.

Finally, they break down Super Bowl LIX—from the Philadelphia Eagles' dominant win over the Kansas City Chiefs to commercials. Plus, Jim explains the not-so-subtle messaging inside Kendrick Lamar's halftime show while Greg wishes there wasn't a halftime show at all.

Join Jim and Greg for the 3 Martini Lunch as they dive into the early positive impact of the Laken Riley Act, a Michigan lawmaker sterilizing herself because Trump is president, and why egg prices are particularly painful.

First, Jim and Greg are encouraged by the Laken Riley Act's effectiveness, highlighting a recent case in Chicago where an illegal immigrant and serial shoplifter with 13 arrests in under a year is detained and likely to be deported. Jim dissects the problem in the left's argument that only illegals convicted of these crimes should be eligible for deportation.

Next, they discuss the bizarre case of a Michigan Democrat lawmaker who reportedly sterilized herself to avoid the possibility of pregnancy in "Donald Trump’s America," fearing a future without access to contraception or abortion. Jim and Greg recoil at this insanity and underscore why you need to build your life on a much better foundation than politics.

Finally, with egg prices soaring due to the bird flu outbreak, Jim highlights how the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s measures to contain the disease are leading to unintended consequences that are making life harder for consumers.

They also react to the death of Chicago Bears owner Virginia Halas McCaskey and Jim explains how this year's Super Bowl could end up saving Western Civilization.

Jim and Greg serve up all good martinis on 3 Martini Lunch as they break down President Trump's executive order banning men from women’s sports, Attorney General Pam Bondi cutting off funding for sanctuary cities, and Democrats’ electoral shenanigans backfiring in multiple states.

First, they cheer Trump for signing an executive order to keep men out of women’s sports, regardless of how those men "identify." They highlight America’s overwhelming support for the move despite years of media narratives suggesting otherwise. They also note that even left-wing figures like tennis legend Martina Navratilova admit Democrats just handed Trump a major campaign weapon for 2024.

Next, they applaud U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi for cutting off Justice Department funding to self-proclaimed sanctuary cities. Jim compares this to the transgender sports debate, emphasizing that the left ignores just how strongly Americans want criminal illegals out of the country and illegal immigration to stop.

Finally, they take satisfaction in Democrats' political stunts likely failing in Minnesota and New York. In Minnesota, Democrats stalled state house business because Republicans temporarily hold a one-seat majority, but after weeks of dysfunction, a power-sharing agreement is finally taking shape. Meanwhile, New York Democrats appear to be retreating from an effort to delay a special election to replace GOP Rep. Elise Stefanik, which would have prolonged the razor-thin Republican majority in the U.S. House

Join Jim and Greg for 3 Martini Lunch as they react to President Trump’s suggestion to take over Gaza, USAID’s questionable spending on foreign and domestic media, and the latest call for President Trump’s impeachment from a House Democrat.

First, they dive into Trump’s proposal for the U.S. to take control of Gaza, relocate the people, clean up the area, and transform it into a Mediterranean resort-like destination. Greg argues that it’s a terrible idea as described, but also questions what Trump’s true strategy might be. But Jim offers...a surprisingly positive take on the plan.

Next, they shudder at some of the egregious waste uncovered in the DOGE audit of the U.S. Agency for International Development. Specifically, they examine why millions of our tax dollars ended up in the hands of Politico and other media outlets.

Finally, they address Texas Rep. Al Green’s call for President Trump’s impeachment, making him the first Democrat in Congress to do so in the new Trump presidency. While Green has files articles of impeachment before, Jim and Greg explain why this latest push is nothing more than a political stunt aimed at drawing attention, especially with the GOP controlling both chambers of Congress.

Finally, they roll their eyes as Texas Rep. Al Green becomes the first congressional Democrat to call for President Trump's impeachment. This is not Green's first attempt to oust a sitting Republican president, but with the GOP running both chambers of Congress, it's nothing more than a stunt to attract attention.

Join Jim and Greg for 3 Martini Lunch as they analyze President Trump’s decision to pause tariffs on Canada, Pete Buttigieg’s absurd theory about a deadly air disaster in D.C., and Mayor Karen Bass failing to control protests in Los Angeles.

First, they dive into the new U.S.-Canada border security arrangement, which has resulted in a pause of tariffs on both sides. They discuss the potential impact of this agreement and debate whether it could have been reached without the threat of tariffs, or if the public pressure and political environment played a significant role in reaching this deal.

Next, they discuss former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg’s comments on the deadly air disaster in Washington, D.C. Buttigieg suggested that the Trump administration’s offer for federal employees to resign in exchange for eight months of severance might have contributed to the tragic collision between a regional jetliner and an Army Blackhawk helicopter. Jim and Greg explain why they believe this theory is absurd and offer an update on Buttigieg's potential run for Michigan’s U.S. Senate seat.

Finally, they address Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass failing to confront unruly protests against deportations of illegal immigrants. Despite the protests causing major disruptions to traffic and defacing government buildings, Bass has not taken action to restore order. Jim says this is the latest evidence that Bass is simply incapable of leading the city.

Join Jim and Greg on 3 Martini Lunch as they assess apparent progress on multiple issues with Panama and Mexico, escalating trade tensions with Canada, and Democrats looking unserious as they choose new leadership.

First, they cheer Panama’s decision not to renew its Belt & Road partnership with China, signaling reduced Chinese influence at the Panama Canal. They’re also pleased to see Secretary of State Marco Rubio secure commitments to curb illegal immigration coming our way through Latin America. Plus, they highlight Trump envoy Ric Grenell’s successful trip to Venezuela, where he secured the release of six American hostages and a pledge—however dubious—from Venezuela to accept deported criminals. They also welcome the U.S. decision to pause tariffs on Mexico after Mexico agreed to strengthen border security.

Next, they analyze the deepening U.S.-Canada trade dispute as Trump imposes 25% tariffs and Canada retaliates. Will the two nations move towards a deal like the U.S. and Mexico, or will tensions persist? Jim also explains how tariffs and trade wars impact American consumers.

Finally, Democrats elect new party leaders, with Minnesota’s Ken Martin leading the DNC and gun control activist David Hogg securing a vice-chair role. Jim argues these choices show Democrats have no plans to change course despite last year’s electoral setbacks.

Join Jim and Greg on this episode of the 3 Martini Lunch as they dive into a chaotic Democratic National Committee chairman debate, the political finger-pointing following the deadly Potomac crash, and Tulsi Gabbard’s contentious confirmation hearings to become Director of National Intelligence.

First, they analyze the delightfully disastrous DNC chairman debate, where every candidate seems to have missed the lessons of the 2024 election. Each candidate for DNC chairman agreed that racism and misogyny were key factors in Kamala Harris losing the election. If that weren't enough, the forum was also repeatedly interrupted by demonstrators accusing Democrats of being too cozy with Big Oil.

Next, they discuss the immediate blame game following the tragic midair collision between a regional airliner and a U.S. Army Blackhawk helicopter. Jim and Greg express frustration as both sides of the aisle politicize the disaster—Democrats blame Trump for firing the head of TSA and other officials, while Trump points to Biden-era DEI policies at the FAA. Jim and Greg agree that prioritizing DEI for those positions is dangerous but wonder why Trump was pushing that issue right away without public evidence that it was a factor in this case.

Finally, they examine Tulsi Gabbard’s confirmation hearing for Director of National Intelligence. Jim highlights her recent shift on several key issues, ranging from Trump's strike on Soleimani to Edward Snowden. However, they agree that significant changes are necessary in U.S. intelligence leadership after years of partisanship and disinformation, particularly from figures like James Clapper and John Brennan.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour Host Scot Bertram fills in for Jim in this episode of the 3 Martini Lunch. Join Scot and Greg as they discuss the tragic midair collision between an airliner and a military helicopter over the Potomac River, President Trump’s new executive order on school choice, and how the far left's attacks on Detroit's mayor might end up helping him get elected governor.

First, they discuss the deadly crash between a U.S. Army Blackhawk helicopter and a commercial airliner near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. Tragically, all 64 passengers and crew aboard the plane, as well as all three soldiers on the helicopter, lost their lives. Scot and Greg explore the details of the disaster, try to resist jumping to conclusions, and reflect on the bravery of the first responders who worked tirelessly in search of survivors.

Next, they dive into President Trump’s newly signed executive order aimed at expanding school choice across the nation. This executive order directs various cabinet departments to provide grants to states, empowering parents with the financial means to send their children to schools of their choice. Scot and Greg discuss how this order increases educational freedom for families but also whether this movement might come with some unintended consequences.

Finally, Scot and Greg consider Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan’s response to attacks from far-left groups over his use of the term "illegal immigrants." Duggan, who says he welcomes immigrants while cooperating with federal authorities on illegal immigration enforcement, is defending his words and actions. Duggan is also running as an independent for Governor of Michigan in 2026, and Scot says this absurd criticism can only help Duggan's campaign.

Join Jim and Greg for 3 Martini Lunch as they dive into three key issues: the debut of the new White House Press Secretary, the manipulative tactics of anti-Trump bureaucrats, and California Democrats' wanting to let people sue energy companies for natural disasters.

First, they praise new White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt for her polished performance, sharp policy explanations, and ability to spar with reporters without heavy reliance on notes—offering a sharp contrast to Karine Jean-Pierre. Jim and Greg also highlight how many in the press corps immediately shift from lapdogs to pit bulls when a Republican administration comes in.

Next, they expose how left-wing bureaucrats intentionally misinterpret Trump’s executive orders to generate bad press or force policy reversals. Examples include the U.S. Air Force claiming it would stop teaching about the Tuskegee Airmen due to Trump's DEI directives and the confusion over the federal spending freeze.

Finally, they analyze California Democrats’ push to let residents sue energy companies for damages from natural disasters, blaming fossil fuels for climate change. Jim explains why this legislation is more about political scapegoating than addressing the root causes of disasters.

Join Jim and Greg on 3 Martini Lunch as they analyze three critical topics: the GOP's chances of flipping a Michigan Senate seat, whether China now has a significant lead in AI development, and bold predictions about AI's impact on society.

First, they break down the implications of Michigan Senator Gary Peters' decision not to seek re-election in 2026. With Republicans narrowly missing a Senate seat there last cycle, could this be their best shot at a pickup in decades? Jim and Greg explore the political landscape and speculate on potential contenders for the open seat.

Next, they scrutinize DeepSeek, a Chinese-linked artificial intelligence reportedly more advanced than U.S.-developed AI. Jim questions the company's claims about its development timeline and costs, while both hosts express frustration over Americans willingly embracing more Chinese-made tech that could compromise privacy and security.

Finally, they react to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman's provocative assertion that artificial intelligence may lead to significant societal restructuring. While they acknowledge the transformative power of technological breakthroughs, Jim and Greg can’t help but roll their eyes at the dramatic, Bond villain-esque rhetoric surrounding AI's potential influence.

Join Jim and Greg for all good martinis on the 3 Martini Lunch podcast as they dive into Colombia’s brief resistance to the U.S. returning criminal illegals, the CIA's admission about COVID-19’s likely lab leak origin, and President Trump’s push to speed up recovery efforts for California wildfire victims.

First, Jim and Greg recap the short-lived trade war with Colombia. Tensions flared when Colombia’s president initially refused to allow repatriation flights carrying criminal illegals to land in the country. In response, President Trump swiftly threatened major tariffs and other diplomatic penalties. Colombia quickly reversed course, agreeing to Trump’s demands and allowing the flights to proceed.

Next, Jim celebrates the CIA’s acknowledgment of what many had suspected all along: that the most likely cause of the COVID-19 pandemic was a lab leak from Wuhan, China. Most of us have known this for a long time, but the Biden-era CIA infamously decided it was unclear how it all started. But that doesn't mean this is over. Jim says these new conclusions should lead to important new questions.

Finally, Jim and Greg discuss Trump’s recent call for faster action to help Los Angeles-area residents who lost their homes in wildfires. During a public forum with LA Mayor Karen Bass, Trump urged local officials to streamline bureaucracy, allowing fire victims to access their property and begin debris removal to make way for rebuilding.

Join Jim and Greg on 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss the increasing deportations of criminal illegal immigrants to Larry Ellison's alarming vision of a surveillance state to Barack Obama's latest condescending remarks on democracy and political alliances.

First, Jim and Greg express their approval of the Trump administration's swift action to apprehend and deport more than a thousand criminal illegals, with deportation flights already underway. They emphasize the importance of political leaders addressing issues head-on rather than just running on them.

Next, they react to Oracle founder Larry Ellison’s disturbing suggestion that a nationwide surveillance system will soon track police and civilians through cameras everywhere, supposedly keeping everyone on their best behavior through AI monitoring. Jim and Greg strongly prefer letting Americans retain the freedoms they still have. Ellison also visited the White House recently for the announcement of a $500 billion AI infrastructure project, leading to public backlash from Elon Musk. Jim analyzes the potential impact on the Trump-Musk relationship.

Finally, Jim and Greg groan as Barack Obama addresses the Democracy Forum, complaining about voters not prioritizing democracy in the 2024 election. Obama implies that the left should focus on getting more people to agree with him, rather than engaging in self-reflection. It's an arrogance that's unlikely to win him many new friends.

Join Jim and Greg for 3 Martini Lunch, as they discuss Senate Majority Leader John Thune vowing to make Democrats pay for holding up President Trump’s cabinet nominations, President Trump’s decision to designate the Houthis as terrorists once again, and former CIA Director John Brennan’s attempt to cover up his previous laptop lie with more falsehoods.

First, Jim and Greg commend Senate Republicans for standing firm against Democratic attempts to delay the confirmation of President Trump’s cabinet nominees. With Democrats blocking quick consideration on the Senate floor, they may find themselves stuck in Washington over the weekend when the final votes take place.

Next, they cheer President Trump’s decision to reclassify the Iran-backed Houthis as a foreign terrorist organization. After Joe Biden removed the Houthis from the list upon taking office, he later imposed much lighter sanctions on the group. This move was widely viewed as an attempt to appease Iran, even as the Houthis continued to create chaos for shipping in the Red Sea and throughout the region.

Finally, they get a good laugh as former CIA Director John Brennan whines to MSNBC about Trump rescinding his security clearance. Brennan, along with dozens of others, falsely claimed in 2020 that the Hunter Biden laptop was part of a Russian disinformation campaign. Now, he tries to backpedal, claiming he never said it was disinformation, but rather a “Russian information operation.” Jim and Greg are having none of it.

Join Jim and Greg for 3 Martini Lunch as they dive into Trump’s tough border measures, the curious dates of Anthony Fauci’s pardon, and Trump’s freelancing on TikTok policy.

First, they cheer a report from Border Czar Tom Homan that fewer than 800 people illegally crossed our southwestern border on Trump’s first day, the Coast Guard stepping up against sea-based migration, and once-defiant Democrats now supporting ICE deportations of criminal illegals.

Next, they react to The Spectator’s reporting on Fauci’s pardon, which protects him from prosecution dating back to the start of 2014. Why? The answer seems to be connected to Fauci's defiance of an Obama administration order against further gain of function research.

Finally, they discuss Trump’s public push for a TikTok sale, including his suggestion that the "United States of America" should control 50 percent of it. Does he want the government to have significant control over the app or is this merely a negotiating tactic? Either way, Jim says TikTok remains a national security threat and Trump needs to enforce the ban until a sale is actually imminent.

Join Jim and Greg for the 3 Martini Lunch podcast as they discuss the likely confirmation of all of President Trump’s remaining cabinet picks, Trump’s decision to free everyone convicted of January 6th crimes, and Jim’s strong reaction to Joe Biden’s controversial final-day pardons.

First, they break down the unanimous confirmation of Senator Marco Rubio as Secretary of State and delve into the prospects for Trump’s other cabinet nominees. Even the most controversial picks are expected to be confirmed, but Jim and Greg also mention nominees who may face the toughest challenges. They also highlight the common trend in presidential administrations where not every nominee gets confirmed, offering historical perspective on the confirmation process.

Then they turn to Trump’s sweeping pardons and commutations for everyone convicted in connection with the January 6th Capitol riot. They agree with comments from Vice President Vance just days ago suggesting there's a significant difference between the violent and non-violent offenders that day. And while they understand defenders of Trump's decision pointing out a massive double standard in the Justice Department ignoring or going easy on rioters in the summer of 2020 or during Trump's first inaugural, Jim details why he believes pardons or commutations for everyone for the unrest at the U.S. Capitol is not the right call.

Finally, Jim shares his thoughts on Joe Biden’s actions in his final days in office, including a series of controversial pardons for family members, Dr. Anthony Fauci, General Milley, and members of the January 6th committee. Jim critiques these pardons as an overreach of executive power, arguing that such actions betray the intentions of the Founding Fathers.

Undisputed King of Stuff and Sink the Rising Sun author Jon Gabriel is in for Jim on 3 Martini Lunch. Jon and Greg reflect on the inauguration of Donald Trump as the 47th President of the United States. They also discuss Joe Biden's final pre-emptive pardons for political allies and family members, as well as new polling data showing overwhelming American support for Trump’s stance on deportations and trans issues.

First, they welcome Donald Trump's inauguration and celebrate the end of Joe Biden's presidency. They express their excitement about the immediate steps taken by President Trump to address key issues, including border security, deportations, energy independence, and rolling back the green agenda, and DEI policies.

Next, they discuss Joe Biden’s predictable but revolting actions in issuing pardons to five more family members plus Dr. Anthony Fauci, Gen. Mark Milley, and all members and staff of the January 6th committee in Congress. Jon and Greg highlight the hypocrisy of Biden’s 2020 vow not to use pardons for family members or to try to change federal policy through social media. They reflect on how these pardons further reveal Biden’s weak character and legacy as a failed president.

The episode concludes with a look at the latest New York Times Ipsos poll, which shows a massive shift in public opinion. Americans overwhelmingly support deporting criminal illegal immigrants and oppose the idea of males competing in female sports or giving puberty blockers to minors. Jon and Greg discuss how this cultural shift signals a broader change in American values over the past few months.

Finally, they look at the latest New York Times/Ipsos poll, which shows a massive shift in public opinion. Americans overwhelmingly support deporting criminal illegal immigrants and a strong majority wants mass deportations of illegals. By huge numbers, Americans also oppose the idea of males competing in female sports or giving puberty blockers to minors.

Join Jim and Greg on 3 Martini Lunch as they examine Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis selecting Attorney General Ashley Moody to replace Marco Rubio in the U.S. Senate, the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold a TikTok ban, and a new report exposing Democrats’ long-standing doubts about President Biden’s capabilities.

First, they cautiously commend Gov. DeSantis for appointing Ashley Moody to succeed Marco Rubio once Rubio assumes his new role as Secretary of State. Moody’s strong conservative credentials and statewide electoral success make her a solid choice. They also contrast the timing of this announcement with Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, who was had more than two months to pick someone to fill the seat vacated by Vice President-Elect JD Vance and still allowed the seat to remain vacant for a week.

Next, they analyze the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold the TikTok ban, mandating the app’s sale to an entity unaffiliated with hostile nations. The law is designed to address national security concerns, but Donald Trump’s recent support for keeping TikTok unchanged adds a layer of complexity to the issue.

Finally, Jim and Greg dissect a revealing New York Times report detailing how Senate Democrats lost confidence in President Biden after his disastrous debate performance. They discuss how Biden’s pollsters gave him a mere five percent chance of defeating Trump but never told that to Biden. They also marvel at the lengths to which Democrats and the media tried to deny Biden's decline when it was blatantly obvious to everyone.

Join Jim and Greg on 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss the fragile Middle East ceasefire that could bring the hostages home, the petty response from Karine Jean-Pierre to President Trump’s role in the deal, and President Biden’s underwhelming farewell speech.

First, they express cautious optimism over the ceasefire deal, which they hope will bring home many of the remaining Israeli and American hostages. However, Jim remains realistic about the ongoing dangers, emphasizing that as long as hostilities are paused, Hamas will continue to manipulate the situation to their advantage.

Next, they highlight State Department Press Secretary Matthew Miller thanking the incoming Trump administration for its help in securing the ceasefire. When White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked about Miller's comments, she downplayed his remarks and tried to redirect the credit solely to President Biden, calling Miller a “random person” in the process.

Finally, they groan over President Biden's self-indulgent farewell speech that vastly overhyped his accomplishments, tried to settle some scores, and took aim at billionaire "oligarchs," the same people he had no problems with until a couple of them stopped supporting him.

Join Jim and Greg on 3 Martini Lunch as they dive into the Senate Democrats' focus on theatrics over persuasion during the Pete Hegseth confirmation hearings, the Minnesota House of Representatives' political standoff, and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass still sounding tone deaf over her performance during the wildfire crisis.

First, they analyze Pete Hegseth's opening statement during his bid to become Secretary of Defense. Then they focus on the embarrassing spectacle put on by Senate Democrats. Rather than focusing on persuasive arguments, many Senate Democrats appeared more interested in creating viral moments and making it far more likely that Hegseth will be confirmed.

Next, they discuss the political turmoil in Minnesota, where Republicans hold a slim one-seat majority in the state House of Representatives. Democrats are boycotting the chamber to prevent Republicans from forming committees and advancing their legislative agenda. With a special election approaching, Democrats are accusing the GOP of a "coup" and demanding further delay before any legislative action can take place.

Finally, they shake their heads as Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass still doesn't have a good answer about whether she should have left for Ghana when the warnings for severe wildfire conditions were so high. Jim minces few words about the mayor's job performance and her very unimpressive public appearances.

Join Jim and Greg for 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss Special Counsel Robert Weiss strongly rejecting President Biden’s explanation in the Hunter Biden pardon case, Kamala’s leadership failures during her final days in office, and President Biden's stunning lies about border security.

After a quick discussion about the start of confirmation hearings for Trump cabinet nominees, Jim and Greg praise Special Counsel Robert Weiss for his strong denunciation of President Biden's justification for pardoning Hunter Biden. Weiss rejects Biden’s claim that Hunter was unfairly targeted due to his family ties, pointing to the fact that eight judges weighed in on the process. Weiss also says Biden was wrong to "malign the public servants at the Department of Justice."

Next, they highlight the snub by Harris and Doug Emhoff, who refused to invite Vice President-Elect JD Vance and his wife, Usha, to tour the vice president’s residence at the U.S. Naval Observatory. Additionally, Jim questions Harris's absence during the wildfire crisis in California - hardly the approach of someone allegedly considering a run for governor.

Finally, they sigh as President Biden blatantly lies again - this time about the border. Biden alleges that illegal border crossings "came way down" as soon as he entered the White House. He also says Republicans killed the legislation that would have provided more "secret service" agents at the border.

Join Jim and Greg on the 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss Donald Trump’s potential progress on Greenland, Gavin Newsom’s focus on his public image amid a crisis, and President Biden’s confusing comments about Kamala Harris and the 2024 election.

First, they're interested in what might come next as officials in both Denmark and and Greenland are interested in further talks with the incoming Trump administration. Denmark says it won't sell Greenland to us but what positives could come out of further negotiations?

Next, Jim takes aim at California Governor Gavin Newsom, criticizing his self-centered approach during the ongoing wildfire crisis. Instead of locked in on the urgent situation at hand, Newsom seems more concerned with his personal image and public relations. Jim also explores how Newsom’s attempt to combat "misinformation" is actually generating more misinformation.

Finally, they scratch their heads after President Biden says Kamala Harris "could have and would have" beaten Donald Trump in the 2024 election. And his efforts to clarify only made things more confusing. Does Biden actually know what's happened over the past six months?

Join Jim and Greg for 3 Martini Lunch as they react to Donald Trump's sentencing in the Stormy Daniels case, Gavin Newsom’s poor preparation and response to California wildfires, and the DEI focus of some Los Angeles Fire Department officials.

First, they discuss Donald Trump’s sentencing following his 2024 convictions in Manhattan, which resulted in an unconditional discharge. While Trump faces no actual penalty, he is now officially a convicted felon—which is what Democrats hopede to achieve with this case.

Next, they turn their attention to California Governor Gavin Newsom’s handling of the recent wildfires. Jim and Greg highlight an encounter where Newsom faced a distraught resident who lost her home and children’s school. The governor's unimpressive interaction and his even worse policies are on full display and may inflict long-term damage on his political plans.

Finally, they shake their heads at the Los Angeles Fire Department video explaining how having firefighters that look like the residents is a high priority and casually dismissing concerns about whether women firefighters could carry men out of a burning building. However, they are quick to stress that LA firefighters are working tirelessly and with great courage throughout these horrible fires. It's the leadership that doesn't always seem to be focused on what matters most.

Join Jim and Greg for 3 Martini Lunch as they reflect on the litany of mistakes made by Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass in the past week, the early portions of the Carter funeral including some curious interactions among the presidents and vice presidents, and President Biden’s “flat-out bonkers” claim that he would have beaten Donald Trump in the 2024 election if he hadn’t dropped out.

First, Jim takes a deep dive into how Mayor Karen Bass is handling the wildfire crisis in Los Angeles. Despite emerging warnings about wildfire dangers, Bass chose to travel to Ghana and stayed there, even after the situation escalated. Her lack of candor and shaky public appearances since returning have also been painful to watch.

Next, they comment on Jimmy Carter's funeral - both what was said in the early parts of the service and the fascinating interactions - or lack of interactions - among current and former presidents and vice presidents and their spouses. The Biden-Harris, Trump-Pence, and Trump-Obama exchanges were of particular note.

Finally, Jim and Greg react to President Biden’s stunning claim in a USA Today interview, where he asserted that he would have defeated Donald Trump if he had stayed in the 2024 race. Even CNN dismissed his comments as “flat-out bonkers.” Jim points out how recent events and Biden’s actions over the last four years make it clear that he is not equipped to lead the country.

Join Jim and Greg for 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss hopes rising for the Laken Riley Act to pass the Senate, horror and blame as the California wildfires rage, and Trump's new ideas for the western hemisphere.

First, they celebrate the passage of the Laken Riley Act in the House, with nearly a dozen more Democrats supporting it than in the past. Now, the focus shifts to the Senate, where seven more Democratic votes are needed to pass the bill. Jim and Greg are encouraged by the bill's momentum and applaud Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman for speaking candidly to his party about the importance of the legislation.

Next, they dive into the devastating California wildfires, as shocking images and videos emerge from Pacific Palisades and beyond. Jim and Greg discuss the chaos of the situation, including Mayor Karen Bass being out of the country during the first few days of the crisis. They explore the conditions that turned these fires into a nightmare and examine how environmental policies that are meant to help are instead making the problem worse.

Finally, they discuss Donald Trump’s latest press conference and his interest in acquiring Greenland, the Panama Canal, and even Canada. He also proposed renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America. Jim and Greg explain what they think Trump is doing and get a kick out of the left once again getting hysterical over everything Trump does.

Join Jim and Greg for 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s newfound support for free speech, congressional Republicans picking a smart issue to begin their legislative agenda, and the disturbing UK rape gang scandal that has rocked the country for decades.

First, Jim and Greg cautiously explore Meta Chairman and CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s shift on free speech. Zuckerberg admitted that Facebook and his other platforms have been biased in censoring political content. He now promises changes, including Community Notes for controversial posts similar to X. Is this a genuine change of heart, or is Zuckerberg simply adapting to the current political climate?

Next, they applaud Republicans in the House and Senate for kicking off their legislative agenda with the Laken Riley Act, which requires the Department of Homeland Secuity to arrest (and likely deport) people in the country illegally if they commit crimes like burglary and larceny. It's also backed by Pennsylvania Democratic Sen. John Fetterman. And since our recording, it passed the House of Representatives.

Finally, Jim and Greg tackle the explosive story of the UK rape gang scandal. They express their outrage over how police, prosecutors, politicians, and the media in Great Britain failed to act swiftly in dealing with allegations of horrific abuse committed by mostly Muslim immigrants against British children. They explain why this issue is making headlines again and why this is a huge problem for the current government in the UK. Parental discretion advised for this topic.

Join Jim and Greg for 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s impending resignation, President Biden awarding the Presidential Medal of Freedom to George Soros and other unworthy recipients, and Biden’s final actions to undermine U.S. energy development.

First, they react to Trudeau’s announcement that he will step down as prime minister once his party selects a new leader. Jim breaks down the issues that led to widespread dissatisfaction with Trudeau, many of which may sound familiar. They also discuss what lies ahead for Canada.

Next, they express outrage over President Biden awarding the Presidential Medal of Freedom to George Soros, a man who has spent decades funding efforts to weaken and destabilize America. They also highlight several other questionable recipients who don’t deserve such a prestigious honor.

Finally, they examine more ways that Biden is throwing a tantrum as he winds down his presidency, including his decision to ban offshore drilling off both coasts, parts of the Gulf of Mexico, and a major section of Alaska. Additionally, Biden is enacting new regulations targeting gas-powered water heaters.

On Sunday, former President Jimmy Carter died at age 100. He lived longer than any president and had the longest post-presidential life by far. Carter was a one-term president from 1977-1981. After surprising many by winning the Democratic nomination in 1976, he defeated President Gerald Ford in the general election. However, Carter suffered a resounding defeat in his bid for re-election. In 1980, he lost 44 states to Ronald Reagan, and Reagan won the Electoral College 489-49.

As events soon begin to commemorate Carter's life and public service, Jim and Greg offer what they see as a fair but honest assessment of Carter, particularly during his time in the Oval Office.

First, they highlight Carter's military service and his impressive victory as a dark horse candidate in 1976. They also discuss what they see as Carter’s successes in the White House—both foreign and domestic—along with some notable achievements through the Carter Center after leaving office. They also applaud his example as a husband during his 77-year marriage to former First Lady Rosalynn Carter.

However, the Carter presidency overall was not a success. Jim and Greg walk through Carter's failure to ward off the rise of a radical Islamist government in Iran, which then took dozens of Americans hostage for the next 14 and a half months and has fomented mayhem in the Middle East and beyond ever since. They also assess his weak approach to the communist threat in Central America and Afghanistan. Domestically, he oversaw a very rough economy, and Americans of a certain age will certainly remember gas lines and the energy crisis among other serious challenges.

Finally, they look at his 44 years after leaving the presidency, from his work building homes for the needy to remaining very active in international affairs. But while he was convinced he was right, Carter's efforts sometimes created headaches for future administrations.

2025 is off to a very difficult start, as Jim and Greg assess two terrorist attacks on New Year's Day, less-than-reassuring responses from federal officials, and possible GOP drama as the new Congress kicks off on Friday.

First, Jim and Greg document the horrific terrorist attack that occurred early Wednesday morning in New Orleans, where a driver deliberately plowed a rented truck through crowds on Bourbon Street and then opening fire on police officers and bystanders. The attacker was also found to have improvised explosive devices in his vehicle. Jim and Greg also examine the details of the Las Vegas car bombing and what we can glean from that.

Next, they express concern over the FBI’s initial, contradictory statements regarding whether the New Orleans attack is being investigated as an act of terrorism. They were also underwhelmed by how President Biden looked and sounded on Wednesday.

Finally, they look ahead to the start of the new Congress on Friday, focusing on the ongoing drama within the House GOP. They examine whether Republicans will unite behind Mike Johnson as Speaker of the House or whether internal divisions will create another intraparty struggle before the House can get to work. While acknowledging frustration over the previous government funding bill, Jim and Greg explain why there isn't another viable option for Republicans in the Speaker race.

Happy New Year! Join Jim and Greg as they kick off 2025 with predictions for the year to come. In this special edition, they will start with safe predictions and get increasingly bold as the conversation continues.

Jim's first prediction centers on an issue that is vital for America's economy and our national security. Meanwhile, Greg suspects a problem that has plagued Washington for decades - and desperately needs to change - won't actually change at all.

Next, they get a bit bolder. Jim focuses on an international hot spot that he suspects will get much hotter in 2025. Greg keeps his eye on domestic politics and predicts a major shakeup early in the year.

Finally, they issue their most aggressive predictions. Jim has a particularly dark outlook that would be the story of the year while Greg makes a very positive but unlikely projection about what we'll see on the world stage.

Jim and Greg close out 2024 with the finale of this year's 3 Martini Lunch Awards. Today, they give out their prestigious choices for Person of the Year, Loser of the Year, and Turncoat of the Year.

On Person of the Year, they both choose Donald Trump. Jim says the choice is so obvious that he spends his time focusing on the astounding year that his runner-up (and a close Trump ally) had in 2024. Meanwhile, Greg chronicles the staggering comeback Trump has achieved over the past year and really the past four years.

For Loser of the Year, Jim chooses the man whose stock plummeted the most in the past 12 months and he says there is a runaway winner. Meanwhile, Greg picks a group of people whose awkward efforts to engineer the outcome of the 2024 campaign imploded in spectacular fashion.

For Turncoat of the Year, Jim chooses a figure who used to align with the left and not only flipped to supporting the Trump-Vance ticket but embodies a demographic that supported Trump in huge numbers this year. Greg offers a whole list of conservatives who actually endorsed and even campaigned for Kamala Harris. But he has another choice that may be our favorite turncoat ever.

It's media day in our year-end 3 Martini Lunch awards and Jim and Greg have plenty to say about how things were covered - if they were covered at all. Specifically, they look at the stories the mainstream media covered far too much, the ones they conveniently ignored because they didn't fit their narrative, and they highlight what they saw as the best stories of 2024.

First, they dig into the most overreported stories of the year, with Jim choosing a massive, relentless political snow job from the mainstream media. Greg agrees with Jim but also notes how the media fawned over a piece of legislation which was little more than an attempt to change the narrative about Biden's legacy. Oh, and there was one overreported story that Jim and Greg were guilty of as well. But it was also a lot of fun!

Then it's on to the stories the media didn't cover much or didn't want to cover. Jim points to media apathy concerning stories about a prominent Democrat and how the media would have had huge coverage of them if it were a Republican. Greg picks a heinous act committed by one of our enemies that the media buried as quickly as possible.

Finally, they reveal their selections for best stories of the year. Jim goes with a series of encouraging events over the past several weeks. Greg focuses on the media itself and how this year and how the media should have learned a big lesson. But are they paying attention?

Make sure to listen on Tuesday as Greg and Jim unveil their selections for Person of the Year, Loser of the Year, and Turncoat of the Year.

More year-end awards today! Jim and Greg embark on the fourth installment of the 3 Three Martini Lunch Awards. Today, they offer up their selections for the Best Political Idea, Worst Political Idea, and Boldest Political Tactics for the year.

They start with the best ideas of the year. Jim chooses a clear message that voters sent on Election Day that was long overdue. Meanwhile, Greg's award goes to the clever tactics that successfully eliminated one of the world's most prominent terrorists..

Then it's time for the worst political ideas of the year, with both Jim and Greg finding many good options. Jim focuses on a ridiculous aspect of Biden's Middle East policy. Whereas, Greg highlights one of the most stunning political miscalculations in recent memory.

Finally, they're on to the boldest political tactics for 2024. Jim chooses a Trump campaign tactic and message that undoubtedly worked to perfection. And Greg salutes a group of athletes who sacrificed a lot to send a message that's now yielding results.

Don't miss Monday's special edition as Jim and Greg reveal their choices for Most Overreported Story, Most Underreported Story, and the Best Story of 2024.

We hope you had a wonderful Christmas and enjoyed our conversation with Die Hard legend Robert Davi! Jim and Greg are back today for the third round of the Three Martini Lunch Awards. Today, they discuss the Biggest Lie, Best Political Theater, and Worst Political Theater of 2024.

They start with the biggest lies of the year. Jim kicks things off by citing a massive lie that has been obvious for years and finally exploded for all the world to see this year. Greg focuses on an obvious Trump campaign policy statement that the left and its media allies immediately twisted into a sinister promise of mayhem if Trump lost. It was nothing of the sort.

Then it's time for the best political theater of 2024, with Jim choosing an indelible campaign moment in the midst of shock and horror. Jim explains why that moment had such a profound impact on many Americans. While Greg wholeheartedly agrees with Jim's selection, he points out one of the worst examples of the left not handling Election Night very well.

Finally, they cringe remembering the worst political theater of 2024. Jim singles out a key moment from the Democratic National Convention that served as a final insult to the outgoing president. Meanwhile, Greg finds his worst political theater in in a pair of New York courtrooms..

Please join us on Friday as Jim and Greg hand out their awards for Best Political Idea, Worst Political Idea, and Boldest Tactic for 2024.

Merry Christmas from all of us at 3 Martini Lunch! Today, we want to talk politics and celebrate the greatest Christmas movie of all time, which is, of course, Die Hard. So please enjoy our September conversation with actor and director Robert Davi.

Jim and Greg welcome acclaimed actor, director, and singer Robert Davi to sip three martinis. Today, they discuss Davi's role in the recent biopic of Ronald Reagan, what it's like for him as a conservative in Hollywood, and his unforgettable performance as Special Agent Johnson in Die Hard.

First, they discuss how Davi got involved in the Reagan movie project nine years ago and how he deeply researched his role as former Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev. Davi also explains why he wanted to be part of the film, how Reagan fought communism in Hollywood and more.

Next, Davi shares what it's like to be a conservative in Hollywood and how becoming more publicly supportive of conservatives and Republicans curiously coincided with a sudden decrease in opportunities to act and direct. He also takes us inside his recent film, My Son Hunter about Hunter Biden, the approach he took to directing it, and why many people discovered the film was far different than they expected it to be.

Finally, they spotlight Davi's very memorable role in Die Hard and why the film endures more than most action movies. And you will not want to miss Davi's hilarious story about watching the film for the first time alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger - complete with his perfect impression of Arnold.

Join Jim and Greg as they offer the second installment of their highly coveted year-end awards. Today they remark on the people connected to politics that they're most sorry to see pass away in 2024. They also share their choices for rising political stars and those who appear to be fading into political oblivion

They begin with those who left us over the past year. Jim chooses a former lawmaker who came within a whisker of holding one of the biggest jobs in the country, and most importantly, was a guest here on 3 Martini Lunch. Meanwhile, Greg highlights a conservative stalwart who served in the U.S. Senate for more than two decades.

Then it's on to a much happier subject as they consider the rising political stars for 2024. They both choose an incoming Trump administration figure who promises to play a very important role as soon as Trump takes office. Greg also offers up an honorable mention for a cable news figure who has excelled at demolishing left-wing talking points while surrounded by Democrats.

Finally, there are a multitude of figures who they see fading into oblivion after this year. Jim looks at some of the most prominent names in the news while Greg eats crow on one of his picks from last year.

There will be a special 3 Martini Lunch on Christmas Day, as we bring you our September conversation with actor, director, and singer Robert Davi, best remembered by Jim and Greg as Special Agent Johnson in Die Hard.

Join us on Thursday as we consider the categories of Biggest Lie, Best Political Theater, & Worst Political Theater for the past year.

Merry Christmas and thank you for listening to the 3 Martini Lunch!

Today, Jim and Greg begin handing out their prestigious annual 3 Martini Lunch Awards! Starting today and running through New Year's Day, they reveal their choices in categories ranging from rising star to best and worst political ideas to the stories the media ignored and the ones they could not stop talking about. And it all builds up to next week when Jim and Greg reveal their Person of the Year and Turncoat of the Year, plus their predictions for 2025.

In this first installment, they offer their individual selections for Most Overrated Political Figure, Most Underrated Political Figure, and Most Honest Political Figure. Jim picks a prominent figure in this year's presidential campaign, while Greg selects someone whose reputation for winning took one on the chin this year.

When it comes to underrated political figures, they agree on their top choice, but Greg also highlights a prominent political leader who doesn't often attract a lot of headlines...and that's a good thing. However, last week's drama has Greg already regretting this choice.

Finally, Jim's choice for the most honest political figure is a famous Democrat who was ignored by the party this year, while Greg picks a very different person the Democrats should have listened to but didn't - to their own peril.

Don't miss Tuesday's special edition, when Jim and Greg list the political figures they were sorry to see pass away in 2024. They'll also name their rising stars over the past year and people who seem to be fading into political oblivion.

Join Jim and Greg on 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss the potential reversal of one of the U.S. Supreme Court’s worst decisions, the significant increase in U.S. troops in Syria, and the surprising comeback of disgraced politician Anthony Weiner.

First , they highlight the Supreme Court’s possible reconsideration of its 2005 eminent domain ruling. They analyze why this decision needs to be overturned, considering its negative impact on property rights and legal precedents.

First, they're glad to hear that the U.S. Supreme Court is considering whether to hear a case that could allow the court to reverse its awful 2005 eminent domain ruling. Jim and Greg review just how bad the original decision was and Jim explains that sometimes the court needs to overturn lousy precedents.

Next, they cover the Pentagon's recent announcement that U.S. troop numbers in Syria have surged to 2,000. The previously announced number was 900 personnel. Jim considers why the Defense Department is admitting this now and they're hopeful that U.S. won't get further involved in the ongoing instability in Syria.

Finally, they react to reports that disgraced former Rep. Anthony Weiner is considering a 2025 run for New York City Council. Weiner's political career was derailed twice after he was caught sending lewd photos of himself to othet women. He was also send to prison for illicit online contact with a 15-year-old girl. Surely, New York City has better options than him, right?

Starting next week, be sure to hear the year-end 3 Martini Lunch Awards. Over six episodes, Jim and Greg cover many different categories, starting with Most Overrated, Most Underrated, and Most Honest Political Figures, culminating in the Person of the Year, Loser of the Year, and Turncoat of the Year awards on New Year’s Eve.

On Christmas Day, we'll revisit our conversation with actor and director Robert Davi from earlier this year. And on New Year's Day, Jim and Greg will offer their predictions for 2025.

Join Jim and Greg on 3 Martini Lunch as they delve into the latest government funding battle, troubling revelations about how the Biden administration tried to hide the president's condition, and Donald Trump's lawsuit over a controversial Iowa poll.

First, they analyze the chaotic developments surrounding government funding. While they’re relieved a bloated spending bill was blocked, they question why Speaker Mike Johnson allowed it to get so bad and become public so late in the process. They also highlight why hurricane relief deserved its own bill months ago, the potential consequences of a Christmas-season government shutdown, and how these issues might shape the upcoming Speaker of the House election.

Next, they react to a Wall Street Journal report exposing efforts by the Biden White House to conceal the president's declining faculties from cabinet members, lawmakers, and you. Despite their attempts,Jim and Greg argue Biden's struggles remained glaringly evident to observers.

Finally, they break down Trump's lawsuit against Iowa pollster Ann Selzer. Trump is accusing her of fraud over a late poll showing Kamala Harris ahead by three points in Iowa—a result sharply at odds with Trump's 13-point victory in the state.

Join Jim and Greg on the 3 Martini Lunch, as they discuss Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s surprising pro-life promises to lawmakers, the unconscionable auction of border wall materials in the final days of the Biden administration, and the shocking polling on Americans' views regarding the murder of a health insurance CEO.

First, they delve into the reports from Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley that Health and Human Services nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is promising strong pro-life policies if he is confirmed. This includes support for Trump-era policies like ending taxpayer-funded abortions and restoring conscience protections for healthcare workers. Will pro-life voters be satisfied?

Next, they discuss the Biden administration’s decision to auction off materials for the border wall in Arizona, preventing the Trump administration from utilizing them to secure the border. The move could delay construction and raise costs significantly compared to when Trump was in office before.

Finally, they analyze disturbing new polling results showing that young Americans narrowly approve of the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. They explore what these numbers say about public perception of the health care sector and how young adults can excuse such a heinous crime.

Join Jim and Greg as they note today's official Electoral College vote and then launch into discussions about Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau being in deep political trouble, Pete Buttigieg fueling speculation about a run in Michigan politics, and whether there's any reason to believe the "drones" are searching for nuclear weapons or dirty bombs.

First, they dive into the growing crisis for Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Facing mounting political pressure, Trudeau is in deep trouble as calls for his resignation intensify. Jim and Greg explain how Trump's tariff threats are fueling the turmoil and why Canada's conservatives could be on the brink of returning to power.

Next, they groan over speculation that Pete Buttigieg may run for governor in Michigan in 2026. Buttigieg has refused to rule out a bid, but questions linger over his qualifications. Jim points out that after moving to Michigan in 2020, Buttigieg has spent little time there during his tenure as Secretary of Transportation.

Finally, Jim addresses growing online theories that drones spotted over New Jersey and other areas are searching for nuclear weapons or dirty bombs. He methodically walks through the claims and explains why this theory likely doesn't hold up to scrutiny.

Join Jim and Greg for 3 Martini Lunch as they react to ABC News agreeing to pay Donald Trump $16 million to settle his defamation lawsuit. They also discuss the many conflicting conclusions about the mysterious drones over New Jersey and analyze how Trump seems to be getting even closer to Big Labor.

First, Jim and Greg have some fun at the expense of ABC News and George Stephanopoulos after the network agrees to pay $16 million to settle Trump’s defamation lawsuit. The case stems from Stephanopoulos’ misrepresentation of the verdict in the E. Jean Carroll case. Jim highlights how Stephanopoulos has never fully distanced himself from his past as a Democratic operative while working in a prominent news role at ABC.

Next, Jim and Greg dive into the many conflicting theories about the drones spotted over New Jersey. Experts seem very confident in their explanations, but they can’t agree on what’s really happening in the skies. Jim breaks down the most plausible theories and offers his insights into which explanations seem the most far-fetched.

Finally, Jim and Greg discuss Trump’s public support for the International Longshoremen's Association in its push against automation in U.S. ports. While they hate to see anyone lose their job, they argue that refusing to use modern technology to make ports more efficient is counterproductive. The hosts also question whether Trump’s stance is a political move to reward union support or a sign that he and the GOP are abandoning the Right to Work to align with Big Labor.

Join Jim and Greg on 3 Martini Lunch as they examine New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ call for answers regarding half a million missing migrant children, criticize Joe Biden for his latest round of shady pardons, and they react to the Duke lacrosse accuser admitting her rape accusation was a lie. Plus, they note the passing of a legend in the conservative movement.

First, they appreciate Mayor Adams calling out the federal government for losing track of nearly 500,000 migrant children given to U.S. "sponsors." They delve into the terrifying possibility that these children may be suffering from abuse and exploitation. And they condemn the mainstream media’s indifference toward the crisis and explain why this issue is largely being ignored.

Their frustration only grows as they focus on President Biden’s recent batch of pardons and commutations. They also chronicle several of the lowlifes on this list, including a judge that took money in exchange for giving kids longer sentences in juvenile detention, officials who took in huge amounts in bribes, and a guy who swindled senior citizens out of their life savings.

Next they react as Crystal Mangum, the woman at the center of the infamous Duke lacrosse case, confesses that her rape allegations against the students were false. Jim and Greg discuss the long-awaited admission, reflecting on how the Duke lacrosse case remains one of the media’s most disgraceful moments.

Finally, Jim and Greg honor Lee Edwards, the renowned conservative historian and author, who passed away on Thursday. They pay tribute to his significant contributions to the conservative movement, his co-founding of Young Americans for Freedom (YAF), and his instrumental role in establishing the Victims of Communism Memorial and Museum in Washington, D.C.

Join Jim and Greg as they discuss defiant Senate votes from Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema, the Russian media’s scandalous response to Trump’s victory, and Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s controversial reaction to the murder of UnitedHealth CEO Brian Thompson.

First, they thoroughly enjoy watching Manchin and Sinema derail a key Biden nominee to the National Labor Relations Board, as the Democrats attempted to block the GOP from having a majority on that panel for another two years. Did the Democrats really expect them to rubber stamp the Biden-Schumer agenda after being demonized by the left for refusing to kill the filibuster?

Next, Jim and Greg react to Russian state-run television’s inappropriate coverage of Donald Trump’s victory, airing racy modeling photos of Melania Trump from 25 years ago. They analyze why the Russians adopted an antagonistic stance towards Trump and question what response they hope to provoke from him.

Finally, Jim and Greg criticize Senator Elizabeth Warren’s cold reaction to the murder of UnitedHealth CEO Brian Thompson, followed by her intense rant against health insurance companies. Jim explains how Warren’s behavior and political approach contributed to the Democrats' losses in the November elections.

Join Jim and Greg as they tackle Americans' overwhelming rejection of President Biden pardoning his son, Sen. Adam Schiff's sudden shift on political prosecutions, and a mysterious phenomenon in the New Jersey sky.

They kick off with an AP poll revealing just 22% of Americans support a Hunter Biden pardon. Opposition is strong across party lines, with independents and even many Democrats hesitant to back the move.

Next, they call out new California Sen. Adam Schiff, a former House Intelligence Committee chairman, for decrying presidential prosecutions in a democracy, despite his past vocal support for pursuing Trump over alleged Russia collusion. Jim also says Schiff has yet to pay any significant price for grossly misleading the American people during the Russia probe.

Finally, they delve into the strange sightings in the New Jersey sky. With drones or drone-like objects puzzling locals, the FBI and military both say they don't know what's happening. As a New Jersey native, Jim offers both serious and lighthearted theories on the mystery.

Join Jim and Greg on 3 Martini Lunch as they breathe a sigh of relief over the Daniel Penny verdict, condemn Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s disastrous impact on public safety, and unpack the shocking story of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s alleged killer.

First, they applaud the New York City jury for acquitting Daniel Penny of criminally negligent homicide after he restrained a threatening subway passenger. Jim and Greg argue that Penny, who acted as a Good Samaritan, should never have faced charges and are relieved he won’t face imprisonment for protecting others.

First, they're very glad to see a New York City jury acquit Daniel Penny on a charge of criminally negligent homicide after restraining a man on the subway who had been threatening and menacing numerous passengers. Penny should never have faced charges and should have been commended for his actions, but at least he won't be incarcerated for being a Good Samaritan.

Next, they criticize media outlets for badly misrepresenting the facts of the Penny case and spotlight the head of Black Lives Matter in New York City for calling for black vigilantes. Despite Penny’s acquittal, they warn that Alvin Bragg’s actions as district attorney discourage people from intervening to protect their neighbors, leaving New Yorkers less safe.

Finally, they react to the arrest of Luigi Mangione, the Ivy League graduate accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. They discuss how the details of the case contradict widespread assumptions and condemn commentators who justify or celebrate the murder due to grievances with health insurance practices.

Join Jim and Greg on 3 Martini Lunch as they explore the collapse of the Assad regime in Syria, weighing its upsides and potential dangers. They also dive into why DC-area drivers rank among the worst in the nation, offering some humorous observations.

First, they celebrate the end of the Assad regime, marking the conclusion of more than 50 years of brutality and oppression. They discuss how Assad’s fall weakens Iran and undermines its terrorist allies in the Middle East. This is also a big embarrassment for Russia. While President Biden tries to claim credit, Jim and Greg provide a dose of reality on who deserves recognition.

Next, they analyze the troubling implications of Assad’s downfall. The rebel coalition includes extremist leaders with close ties to Al Qaeda and ISIS, raising serious doubts about the possibility of a moderate or democratic future in Syria. They also highlight the danger of the U.S. supporting groups with such alarming histories and intentions.

Finally, they lighten the mood with a new Lending Tree report showing that DC-area drivers are among the worst in the nation - especially in the District of Columbia and in Maryland - when it comes to speeding, accidents, drunk driving and more. They explain how this data only confirms what they already knew from driving on and around the Beltway.

Join Jim and Greg on 3 Martini Lunch as they wrap up the week with three crazy martinis: Biden’s pardon of Hunter hurting his library funding, the 2020 census unfairly aiding Democrats, and reports of Biden being urged to consider more pre-emptive pardons.

First, they discuss Democratic donors expressing outrage over President Biden pardoning his son, warning it could drastically impact contributions to Biden’s future presidential library. These same Democrats suggest Biden should temper his expectations for the size and scope of the library project. Meanwhile, Jim wonders what achievements Biden could even highlight from his presidency.

Next, they shake their heads as a new congressional report concludes the 2020 U.S. Census overcounted in several mostly blue states and undercounted in several mostly red states, meaning the Democrats have a slightly unfair advantage in the congressional map and the Electoral College. The numbers are further impacted because the Trump administration was barred from asking whether residents were citizens.

Finally, Jim and Greg are alarmed by reports that Biden aides are urging him to issue additional pre-emptive pardons for figures like Dr. Anthony Fauci, Liz Cheney, and Adam Schiff. They debate the potential fallout and Jim even suggests a constitutional amendment might be necessary to prevent abuse of presidential pardon powers.

Join Jim and Greg for 3 Martini Lunch as they unpack Trump's tariff threats already reaping results in Mexico, humiliating missteps for Esquire and Ana Navarro regarding Biden's pardon, and the shocking murder of a health insurance CEO in midtown Manhattan.

First, they highlight Mexico's record-breaking fentanyl seizure just days after Trump threatened tariffs on Canada and Mexico for failing to curb illegal crossings and drug trafficking. They explore how Trump's tough stance appears to be delivering swift action.

Next, they dive into the comedic fallout as Charles Pierce of Esquire and Ana Navarro of The View attempt to spin President Biden's pardon of Hunter Biden with laughably false claims. Jim underscores the importance of basic fact-checking and common sense to avoid such embarrassing misfires.

Finally, they analyze the chilling murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Manhattan. Jim and Greg not only examine the emerging details of the case but also call out the disturbing rhetoric suggesting the CEO "deserved" it due to frustrations over denied insurance claims.

Join Jim and Greg on 3 Martini Lunch as they tackle what Jim calls “the naughty list.” Today’s episode covers a federal judge’s critique of Biden’s Hunter pardon, controversies surrounding Trump’s Pentagon pick, and Andrew Cuomo’s rumored political comeback in New York City.

They begin by spotlighting Federal Judge Mark Scarsi’s scathing assessment of President Biden’s justification for pardoning Hunter Biden. Scarsi accuses Biden of misrepresenting key facts, undermining his own appointees by alleging political persecution, and potentially issuing an unconstitutional pardon.

Next, they dive into new allegations against Pete Hegseth, Trump’s pick for Secretary of Defense, involving claims of misconduct during his time at Fox News and his leadership at Concerned Veterans for America. Hegseth's defenders point out that all of the new allegations are based on anonymous sources and his former colleagues are eagerly going on the record to defend him. The Wall Street Journal also reports that the Trump team may be preparing to move on to a new nominee and is even floating some possible alternatives.

Lastly, Jim previews his Washington Post column aimed at derailing Andrew Cuomo’s rumored run for New York City mayor. They detail Cuomo’s extensive history of scandals, arguing why he should never return to public office.

On Tuesday's 3 Martini Lunch, Jim and Greg dissect the fallout from President Biden’s sweeping pardon of Hunter Biden, highlighting Democratic efforts to reshape the narrative, late-night comedy jabs, and the ongoing deception from Biden's allies.

First, they credit Brianna Keilar of CNN for grilling outspoken New York Rep. Dan Goldman over his previous claim that Biden respected the justice system too much to pardon his son. When Goldman attempts to misrepresent the facts, Keilar doesn’t let him off the hook.

They also delve into Jon Stewart's sharp critique of the Bidens and the Democrats, spotlighting their blatant hypocrisy. Stewart also points out that the pardon extends well beyond the issues Hunter Biden faced in court. Jim and Greg argue the timing of left-wing entertainers targeting the Bidens is more strategic than principled.

Lastly, Jim and Greg discuss White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre's insistence that Biden didn’t lie about his stance on a pardon, despite evidence to the contrary. They also criticize her for singling out a National Review reporter who highlighted an NBC report exposing Biden’s long-considered plan to pardon his son.

Jim and Greg are back from Thanksgiving and are ready to rip into President Biden for his lying and brazenly bogus logic for pardoning his son. They also dissect the latest carnage in Syria and Trump's choice of Kash Patel to lead the FBI.

First, they vent over Biden’s very predictable yet inexcusable pardon of his son, Hunter Biden. After repeatedly insisting he would never pardon him, Biden now asserts that Hunter was a victim of unfair political persecution. And the pardon covers a span of more than 10 years. We've got a lot to say about this one!

Next, they analyze the ongoing conflict in Syria, where rebel forces are seizing large territories, and some believe Bashar al-Assad’s regime may be coming to an end. But Jim and Greg point out that there are no clear "good guys" in this fight, which also includes Russia and Iran.

Finally, they discuss Trump’s choice of Kash Patel to lead the FBI and the left’s full-blown freakout over the nomination. Can Patel get confirmed? What has he promised to do in such a role? Jim and Greg also discuss how the Hunter Biden pardon may make life easier for Patel in the long run.

As you head to the stores and look for gifts online on Black Friday, Jim and Greg are here to deliver helpful, practical gifts to several political figures.

First, Jim comes up with a very thoughtful gift for outgoing president Joe Biden that should serve him well longer after he leaves the White House. Meanwhile, Greg comes up with multiple ways to help Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz address some of his biggest problems on the campaign trail.

Next, they offer more election-related gifts. Jim tries to help one particular politician cope with a tough loss in this month's election. Greg has a lot of people in mind for gifts that could help in future elections.

Finally, Jim has a gift that Donald Trump will truly love, much to the chagrin of one of his closest allies, while Greg offers a way to help some groups that have had a very difficult year.

Happy Thanksgiving! We are very thankful for you, our listeners, and for the chance to spend Thanksgiving with our families. Today, we look back at how Jim and Greg sized up Trump's win and Kamala's loss three weeks ago.

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.

Join Jim and Greg as they reveal what they are politically thankful for with just a few weeks remaining in 2024.

First, they both find things to be very thankful for concerning the last election, both in terms of what happened that night and what won't be happening because of the results.

Next, they turn their attention to the role of the media in the 2024 campaign but from opposite perspective. Jim's examines the huge impact made by a prominent voice on the left, while Greg is grateful for what the mainstream media failed to accomplish this year.

Finally, in a year of major change, Jim is very grateful for something that didn't happen in 2024 while Greg is happy about some political developments closer to home.

As always, we are extremely thankful for our listeners! You are the reason we can do this podcast and have so much fun every day. We hope you are enjoying it as much as we do.

Join Jim and Greg on 3 Martini Lunch as they unpack Kamala Harris’s plans for a political comeback, heightened tensions with Russia following a cargo plane crash, and Bill Clinton’s tiresome excuses for Hillary’s 2016 loss.

First, they analyze reports that Kamala Harris is eyeing a 2026 California gubernatorial run or another presidential bid in 2028. Jim highlights the crowded field of Democrats for governor and skepticism from national Democrats after Harris’s underwhelming 2024 performance.

Next, they note the crash of a DHL cargo jet in Lithuania. The disaster comes just a few weeks after intelligence officials revealed concerns that Russia was plotting to attack passenger planes and was experimenting with incendiary devices on cargo planes in preparation. Jim suggests this is Putin's way of escalating tensions during a presidential transition.

Finally, they get a kick out of Bill Clinton insisting that the only reason Trump beat Hillary eight years ago was because of then-FBI Director Jim Comey and the lingering Hillary Clinton email investigation. Jim also outlines the depths of Bill's hypocrisy when it comes to Trump and explains why the Clintons will never get over losing in 2016.

Join Jim and Greg on 3 Martini Lunch as they break down two bad martinis and a crazy one to kick off the week. They dig into two controversial Trump cabinet picks, a razor-thin GOP House majority, and the State Department's taxpayer-funded therapy sessions after Trump’s win.

First, they assess Trump’s latest cabinet picks, praising Russ Vought for Office of Management and Budget and Dr. Marty Makary for the Food and Drug Administration, while expressing major concerns about Lori Chavez-DeRemer as Secretary of Labor due to her anti-Right to Work stance and Scott Bessent for Treasury, given his ties to George Soros.

Next, they analyze the very narrow House Republican majority in the coming Congress, with three races still unresolved and three looming GOP vacancies. They explain why this slim margin leaves little room for defections or other unexpected setbacks over the next two years.

Finally, they react to reports of the State Department hosting therapy sessions, including a "cry session," for employees struggling to cope with Trump’s victory—on the taxpayers’ dime. Jim calls for lefties to gain a little perspective on dealing with election results, while Greg suggests clearing out partisan bureaucrats in supposedly neutral roles.

Join Jim and Greg on 3 Martini Lunch as they unpack Matt Gaetz withdrawing his bid for Attorney General and President-Elect Trump choosing Pam Bondi as his new nominee, Sen. Bob Casey's overdue concession, and the UN’s latest attempt to bilk U.S. taxpayers in the name of climate change.

First, they discuss Matt Gaetz stepping aside after multiple GOP senators vowed to oppose his nomination. They also explore Pam Bondi’s record as Florida Attorney General and the potential hurdles in her confirmation process. Plus, they explain why Gaetz’s political future won’t include a Senate or House seat.

Next, they're glad to see Pennsylvania Sen. Bob Casey, Jr. concede his loss to Republican challenger Dave McCormick. But even in this statement, Casey spoke glowingly of election officials in all counties and the legal army he assembled, allegedly to make sure no voters were disenfranchised. Jim and Greg are not impressed but they're glad he's finally hitting the bricks.

Finally, they roll their eyes at the UN’s plan to demand $250 billion from the U.S. and other Western nations for climate change initiatives. Even more absurd, the recipient nations are upset it’s not $1 trillion. Thankfully, this misguided scheme is unlikely to survive past Trump’s inauguration.

Undisputed King of Stuff, columnist, and novelist Jon Gabriel guest-hosts for Jim on today’s 3 Martini Lunch. Jon and Greg serve up four martinis, tackling school choice in North Carolina in beyond, the unspeakable horrors stemming from our open borders, staggering government waste, and celebrities fleeing Twitter/X.

First, they commend North Carolina lawmakers for overriding the governor’s veto on school choice and expanding vouchers. Jon also highlights the positive impacts of similar policies in Arizona, debunking the teachers’ unions’ doomsday predictions.

Next, they dive into the horrifying consequences of open-border policies, including the tragic murder of Laken Riley by a criminal illegal alien. They also note the alarming numbers of immigrant children unaccounted for and vulnerable to sex trafficking.

Then, they shake their heads as the Pentagon fails its audit for the seventh year in a row and at the Pentagon official who insists that not knowing where the money ended up does not mean it was wasted. Can figures like Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy rein in this fiscal chaos?

Finally, they laugh about left-wing celebrities leaving Twitter/X in dramatic fashion—only to discover that their alternative platforms are just as disappointing.

Former Chief Assistant U.S. Attorney and National Review Contributing Editor Andy McCarthy steps in for Jim Geraghty on today’s 3 Martini Lunch. Andy and Greg dive into Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s request to delay sentencing Donald Trump for four years, whether the courts will side with Trump on deportations, and the damaging impact of Republican senators missing votes on Biden judicial nominees.
They begin by discussing Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg asking for a four-year delay in sentencing Donald Trump until after Trump leaves the White House in 2029. Andy explains that Trump is already appealing the verdict over immunity arguments and that both Trump and Bragg have good reasons to want the extended pause.

Next, they examine whether federal courts will support Trump’s mass deportation plans. Andy explores the broad authority of the federal government over immigration and the limitations of what state and local officials can do about it. But after the federal courts upheld Biden's authority in the midst of his utter utter failure in border security, will Trump get the same reaction when he tries to execute a very different set of policies?

Finally, Andy and Greg share their frustration over several Republican senators missing key votes, enabling controversial Biden judicial nominees to secure lifetime appointments. While senators like JD Vance and Marco Rubio were tied up with responsibilities for the incoming administration, their absences allowed far-left nominees to reshape the judiciary for decades.

Join Jim and Greg for 3 Martini Lunch as they tackle the Pennsylvania Supreme Court's sharp rebuke of local Democrats for counting illegally cast ballots, President Biden's erratic handling of the Russia-Ukraine war, and a new grift spearheaded by a Lincoln Project alum.

First, the left-leaning Pennsylvania Supreme Court issues a scathing decision, ordering election officials in metro Philadelphia to reject ballots lacking proper dates or containing errors. This ruling, written in boldface and all caps, leaves no room for misinterpretation and marks the court's third intervention on this issue.

Next, Jim unloads on President Biden's inconsistent strategy in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Months after providing Ukraine with long-range ATACMS missiles, Biden has now authorized their use against targets deep inside Russia.. They also discuss the likely impact of this decision and what to make of Putin's threat to use nuclear weapons in response.

Finally, Jim and Greg spotlight Rick Wilson's latest money-grabbing scheme. The longtime Lincoln Project figure is now targeting Elon Musk and Rupert Murdoch, claiming to deploy “military-grade intelligence” to unearth their supposed disinformation networks. And Jim and Greg expose it as yet another cynical attempt to cash in on partisan outrage.

Join Jim and Greg on 3 Martini Lunch as they break down Sen. John Fetterman’s criticism of Nancy Pelosi, charges against a Minnesota election judge for allowing illegal voting, and Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski trying to rekindle ties with Donald Trump after years of hostility.

First, Jim and Greg relish Sen. John Fetterman publicly blasting Nancy Pelosi for blaming Joe Biden over Kamala Harris’s loss and for overstaying her welcome in Congress. They highlight how rare and refreshing it is to see a Democrat criticize Pelosi so openly, especially given her long history of intimidating other Democrats into following her wishes.

Next, they condemn the actions of a Minnesota election judge facing felony charges for allowing 11 unregistered voters to cast ballots. Despite Minnesota’s same-day voter registration policy, the judge ignored the required process, demonstrating a blatant disregard for election laws and undermining voter integrity.

Finally, they laugh at the irony of Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski reopening communication with Donald Trump after years of their relentless demonization of him. They also discuss the left-wing backlash against Joe and Mika’s pivot and suggest Trump is likely reveling in their change of heart.

Join Jim and Greg on 3 Martini Lunch as they unpack some House Democrats blaming their leader for GOP election wins, local Pennsylvania Democrats disregarding court orders to aid Sen. Bob Casey, and Donald Trump choosing Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. to run the Department of Health and Human Services.

First, Jim and Greg enjoy the fireworks as some House progressives accuse Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries of causing Republican victories by failing to convince President Biden to step aside sooner. The lefties further lament that former Speaker Nancy Pelosi had to push Biden out of the race. Jim and Greg dissect why this narrative is far-fetched but relish watching Democrats openly battle over election blame.

Next, they express disbelief as local Democrats in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, flagrantly defy a state Supreme Court order prohibiting the counting of certain invalid ballots. One commissioner even declared on camera that legal precedent no longer matters. Jim and Greg expose the hypocrisy of Democrats claiming to be defenders of democracy while blatantly ignoring the rule of law.

Finally, they analyze President-Elect Trump’s decision to nominate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services. While Kennedy could champion important reforms, they raise concerns over his pro-abortion stance, his potential priorities, and even more political capital being spent over a cabinet fight.

Join Jim and Greg as they delve into the GOP’s projected control of the House of Representatives, why Matt Gaetz is the wrong choice for Attorney General, and Sen. Bob Casey’s far-fetched push to count ballots from unregistered voters.

First, Jim and Greg discuss the now-confirmed GOP majority in the House of Representatives in the next Congress. All major networks project Republican control, and Rep. Mike Johnson seems to have a clear path to another term as Speaker of the House. Jim highlights how this solid footing is not only promising for the GOP’s legislative plans but also dispels rumors that Johnson is about to face an internal party revolt.

After a positive review of most Trump cabinet picks, Jim and Greg criticize the choice of Matt Gaetz for Attorney General. They agree that reforming the Justice Department and FBI is crucial but they also contend there are people who would be far better at that job and would not come with the enormous baggage that Gaetz brings with him.

Finally, they call out Sen. Bob Casey, Jr. for his recount efforts in Pennsylvania despite trailing by more than 26,000 votes. Even worse, Casey's legal team is asking the courts to count ballots cast by unregistered voters. Casey's refusal to accept reality is an embarrassment and it also erodes the narrative that Democrats are supposedly the guardians of our democracy. Jim and Greg also discuss middle of the night ballot dumps and much more.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

Join Jim and Greg as they dive into the final weekend of the campaign with two bad martinis and a three-pronged crazy one. Today, they tackle a weak October jobs report, concerning early voting trends for the GOP, and a wave of controversial statements shaping the end of the campaign.

First, they are stunned by the October jobs report, which shows just 12,000 new jobs and a downward revision of 112,000 jobs for August and September. So the U.S. has lost 100,000 jobs in the past three months and the economy is still - by far - the top issue for voters. Jim also speculates on whether the looming election might be impacting these numbers.

Next, after highlighting the very strong early vote numbers for the GOP in Nevada earlier this week, trends in Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Michigan now appear to be favoring Democrats. Jim takes a closer look at these patterns and considers whether party registration accurately reflects voter decisions—especially in critical Rust Belt states.

Finally, they take three recent political comments and discuss how the media and opposing politicians are reacting to them. They dissect comments from Jimmy Kimmel about when Trump supporters should vote, Donald Trump's statement about Liz Cheney, and Mark Cuban alleging that Trump doesn't ever want to be around strong, intelligent women.

View Details

Join Jim and Greg as they serve up two good martinis and a double-fisted crazy one. Today, they discuss growing confidence that the GOP will defend all its Senate seats, Democrats already assigning blame if Harris loses, and voting issues popping up in multiple states.

First, they discuss GOP Nebraska Sen. Deb Fischer’s stronger position as two different polls show her leading an “independent” opponent who previously supported Bernie Sanders. A Fischer win would boost chances of Republican control, and Jim points to this as another likely example of Democrats possibly overestimating their chances in a traditionally red state.

Next, Jim and Greg chuckle over Democrats reportedly pointing fingers in the event Kamala Harris loses next week. Anonymous operatives hint at criticism of her nontraditional nomination process and the choice of Tim Walz as VP nominee if Trump secures victory. Jim and Greg see the biggest story here being that Democrats are pessimistic enough to talk publicly about a loss that hasn't happened.

Finally, they discuss recurring issues as early voting unfolds. Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson confirms some Dominion voting machines are malfunctioning, blocking straight-party voting. Meanwhile, a Washington state voter reports receiving 16 absentee ballots with various names at her address. Why aren't these issues being flagged before people start voting?

Join Jim and Greg as they delve into the Supreme Court's sensible ruling on Virginia's voter rolls, President Biden referring to Trump supporters as "garbage," and a new left-wing ad urging women to defy their spouses and vote for Kamala Harris..

First, they commend the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to support Virginia’s removal of non-citizens from voter rolls. Despite the Biden administration's lawsuit and two lower courts siding with the DOJ, Jim and Greg argue that removing non-citizens, those who have moved, or the deceased is a matter of common sense. For some reason, the left disagrees.

Next, they analyze President Biden's remarks, in which he sharply criticized jokes about Puerto Rico at a recent Trump rally and described Trump supporters as "garbage." The media’s quick attempts to soften Biden’s statement, even blaming his stutter, leave Jim and Greg amused as they dissect the messaging chaos.

Finally, they discuss a new ad from Vote Common Good, narrated by Julia Roberts, which suggests that many women vote Republican only because of pressure from their Trump-loving husbands. The ad encourages women to secretly vote for Harris without informing their spouses. Jim suggests that anyone who can’t openly discuss their vote with their spouse has bigger issues than the election, while he and Greg explore what the ad reveals about Democrats.

Join Jim and Greg as they update the Democrats' latest efforts to get donations from "Doris" and "Diane." They also discuss key events affecting the GOP in Nevada, the New York Times’ partisan focus on "misinformation," and more proof that ballot drop boxes are a terrible idea.

They kick things off with a fun update on recent Harris campaign fundraising pitches sent to the wrong recipients. Jim and Greg share the Democrats' persistent attempts to get "Doris" and "Diane" (who are really just Greg and Jim) to donate—and the various psychological tactics they use that have no chance of working.

Moving to the Nevada battleground, they discuss the latest mixed results for the GOP. Early voting trends show Republicans gaining a lot of ground in this cycle, but a recent Nevada Supreme Court ruling allows mail-in ballots to be counted even if received days after Election Day and without a postmark.

They also tackle the latest efforts from the left-leaning media to target online conservative content. Ben Shapiro highlighted an email he received from a New York Times reporter about an upcoming piece that critiques right-leaning YouTube channels based on data from the Soros-funded Media Matters for America. They slam the Times' reliance on the far-left MMFA's analysis and the implications for conservative voices online.

Finally, they cover disturbing reports from Washington and Oregon of incendiary devices placed in ballot drop boxes, leading to some serious ballot damage. Jim and Greg want the perpetrators punished severely, but they also see this as just the latest sign that ballot drop boxes are a terrible idea for people interested in fair and secure elections.

Join Jim and Greg on 3 Martini Lunch as they unpack the friction between Joe Biden’s offer to campaign for Kamala Harris and the Harris team's resistance, the potential fallout of a comedian's controversial comments at the Trump rally, and Michelle Obama's unpersuasive scolding of men who won't vote for Harris.

First, after briefly lamenting how their NFL teams squandered late leads on Sunday, they enjoy the Harris campaign's never-ending awkwardness over Joe Biden. Harris can't think of a thing she would have done differently than Biden but insists she'll be different. Now, as Biden wants to hit the campaign trail for Kamala, her advisers want nothing to do with him.

Next, Jim and Greg analyze comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s controversial jokes at a Trump rally in New York City. From comments on Puerto Ricans, Latinos, and black people, they discuss the backlash and potential fallout. With the media spotlight on these remarks, they explore how this could affect close races like the U.S. Senate seat in Florida, where GOP Sen. Rick Scott strongly condemned the jokes.

Finally, they slam the Harris campaign for its abortion obsession over the final days of the campaign. And Jim rips former First Lady Michelle Obama for scolding men with lines like, "Are you as men prepared to look into the eyes of the women and children you love and tell them you supported this assault on our safety?" Jim also points out the Obamas' constant and tiresome disappointment with the American people.

Join Jim and Greg as they wrap up the week discussing massive public support for two ideas to help secure our elections, JD Vance's excellent advice for bridging the political divide, and DC residents fleeing the city on Election Day to avoid possible unrest.

First, they cheer a new Gallup poll showing massive support for two key ideas to improve election integrity. The poll reveals overwhelming approval for requiring voter ID at the polls and proof of citizenship when registering to vote—two common-sense solutions that Democrats continue to oppose.

Next, they applaud GOP vice presidential nominee JD Vance for offering excellent advice on political divisions. Vance urged people at a town hall not to let political differences destroy friendships and family relationships. Jim and Greg emphasize that elections do matter and they matter a lot, but allowing our political differences to radically impact our personal lives is not healthy.

Finally, they react to a Politico story revealing that a lot of Washington, DC, residents intentionally made travel plans to avoid being in the nation's capital on Election Day and in the days after. They fear post-election violence. Jim and Greg shake their heads at that and also push back against the narrative that right-wing activists are the primary threat, calling out the bias in the story.

Join Jim and Greg as they return to their usual format with three crazy martinis! Today, they discuss the Missouri Democratic U.S. Senate candidate injuring a reporter, Kamala Harris’s increasingly implausible defense of Biden’s cognitive abilities, and her baffling response when asked about her greatest weakness.

First, they are stunned by reports that Missouri Senate candidate Lucas Kunce injured a reporter at a gun event. Kunce, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran running against GOP Sen. Josh Hawley, accidentally wounded the reporter with a bullet fragment after firing an AR-15 at close range. Jim points out that if a Republican candidate injured someone while firing an AR-15, it would be national news for days.

Next, they wince as Kamala Harris continues to defend President Biden’s cognitive state. Harris insists that she has seen no signs of Biden being incapable of serving, despite growing concerns about his mental fitness. Jim and Greg also discuss Harris’s unconvincing reaction to suggestions that Biden’s poor debate performance might have ended his re-election campaign.

Next, they cringe as Harris continues to defend President Biden’s cognitive state and saysshe has not noticed anything to suggest he's incapable of serving. Jim and Greg also discuss Harris’s feigned shock that Biden’s poor debate performance led to the end of his re-election campaign.

Finally, they react to Harris’s weak answer during CNN’s town hall when asked about her greatest weakness. Instead of a genuine response, Harris claimed her biggest weakness is surrounding herself with smart people, and you can almost hear the eyerolls from Jim and Greg. Plus, Greg has another "Doris" update.

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome longtime, Emmy-winning sports reporter Michele Tafoya. Best known for her work as a sideline reporter on Monday Night Football and Sunday Night Football, Tafoya is now a political commentator and host of the Michele Tafoya Podcast. In this episode, they dive into her most memorable sports moments, her views on the intersection of politics and sports, the controversy surrounding transgender athletes, her experience living in Minnesota under Gov. Tim Walz and more.

First, the conversation kicks off with Tafoya’s rise in sports journalism. From her major career breakthroughs to the challenges of interviewing uncooperative coaches and players, Tafoya shares insights from her time as a sports reporter. She recounts some of her favorite on-field moments, the sports personalities who were easy and tough to work with, and a hilarious story from an NCAA tournament game she was covering in the 1990s.

Next, they focus on politics, including how Tafoya evolved from a left-leaning graduate of Cal Berkeley to a conservative. She also touches on the impact of politics getting injected into sports coverage and how some members of the sports media see themselves as political and cultural activists.

Finally, Tafoya speaks out against the participation of biological men in women's sports. She shares her thoughts on how this is fundamentally unfair and is affecting female athletes and the integrity of women’s sports. In addition, Tafoya opens up about living under the leadership of Gov. Tim Walz in Minnesota and her perspective on the political expectation that she should support Kamala Harris simply because she is a woman.

Join Jim and Greg as they offer two good martinis and a lousy one. Today, they discuss Israel's creative, non-violent strategy against Hezbollah, Kamala Harris’s team fretting over key "blue wall" states, and how abortion has re-emerged as a leading issue in the 2024 campaign.

First, they break down Israel’s clever tactic of outing a Hezbollah bunker hidden beneath a hospital in Beirut. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) publicly announced the location and stated there was a lot of money and gold stored there. Jim and Greg explain why this is a brilliant move that puts Hezbollah in a tough position. They also have fun speculating on which Hollywood movie this situation resembles most.

Next, Jim highlights his “Morning Jolt” report about the Harris campaign’s concerns in battleground states. They reveal that Michigan, North Carolina, and Wisconsin are causing serious worry for Democrats. Greg and Jim explain why Harris is struggling in Michigan and urge conservatives to focus on voter turnout, rather than being distracted by political betting odds.

Finally, they react to Newsweek’s report that abortion is now the second most important issue for voters. While the economy still holds the top spot and immigration is close behind, abortion’s prominence is seen as a political advantage for Democrats. Meanwhile, Republicans continue to fumble for a cohesive message. Jim and Greg also share their thoughts on some of the most absurd arguments Democrats are making against Trump.

Join Jim and Greg as they discuss how Republican governors do much better than Democrats on fiscal policy, the infuriating leak of Israel's plans to strike Iran, and why Tim Walz is so reluctant to help his own mother.

First, they analyze the CATO Institute report card, which grades 48 U.S. governors on controlling spending and improving tax policies. Notably, all six governors receiving an 'A' were Republicans, while all six earning an 'F' were Democrats, including Tim Walz. Jim and Greg explore the reasons behind these results and highlight a few surprising names on the list.

Next, frustration mounts over the leak of classified Israeli military plans to strike Iran. This follows previous instances of U.S. officials being caught off guard by successful Israeli strikes in the Middle East. Jim explains how several key figures in the Biden administration are far too cozy with Iran and wonders why allies would share sensitive material with us in the future.

Finally, they address Tim Walz’s recent comments in North Carolina about his mother’s reliance on Social Security for basic needs. Jim and Greg explain how Social Security is intended as a supplement to your retirement plan and wonder why Walz allows his mother to live in such a precarious financial situation. This is at least the second time Walz has referred to leaving his elderly mom to fend for herself. He also made her go home and live by herself after heart surgery during COVID because he feared negative headlines if he brought her to his home.

Join Jim and Greg for a special edition of the 3 Martini Lunch as they serve up two good martinis, a crazy one, and some fun to celebrate the podcast’s 14-year anniversary. Today, they discuss Democrats’ growing fears in Pennsylvania, Big Tech’s newfound support for nuclear energy, and Kamala Harris’s mixed messaging after the killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar.

First, they dive into a Politico story about Democratic unease in Pennsylvania. Longtime Democratic operatives are anonymously criticizing the Harris campaign’s efforts in the state. They also note how Sen. Bob Casey is airing ads highlighting the rare occasions he sided with Trump or against Biden. Greg also shares the increasingly desperate fundraising emails landing in his inbox as the election looms.

Next, they applaud Big Tech’s shift toward nuclear power, with companies like Google, Microsoft, and Amazon aggressively pursuing it to power data centers and other projects. Meanwhile, Jim slams the left for its irrational opposition to nuclear energy, which has stalled progress since the 1979 Three Mile Island incident and set back the nation’s energy potential for decades.

Then, they credit Kamala Harris for saying a lot of the right things in her response to the death of Hamas military leader Yahya Sinwar, but they cringe big time at her insistence that this should lead to the creation of a Palestinian state. Jim says the message that would send to the world would be devastating.

Finally, Jim and Greg celebrate 14 years of the 3 Martini Lunch podcast with a recap of Jim's best quips from recent months and a flashback to their all-time favorite moment on the podcast.

Join Jim and Greg as they serve up three good martinis. In today’s episode, they discuss the death of Hamas military leader Yahya Sinwar, Georgia's record-breaking early voting turnout, and Kamala Harris's tough interview on Fox News.

First, they discuss the likely death of Hamas military leader Yahya Sinwar during an IDF operation in Gaza, which was later confirmed. Sinwar, the mastermind behind the October 7th terrorist attacks on Israel last year, had a notorious history of hatred against Israel and exploitation of people in Gaza. While Israel wasn't specifically targeting Sinwar, in this operation Jim and Greg highlight Israel's effectiveness in eliminating top terrorist leaders in recent months.

Next, they explore Georgia's record-shattering early voting numbers, smashing Democratic narratives from 2021 that compared GOP-led voting reforms to Jim Crow-era laws. The left’s predictions of voter suppression have been thoroughly debunked by the sheer volume of early votes cast. Greg also points out that Republicans are actively encouraging early voting, reducing reliance on Election Day turnout.

Finally, they analyze Kamala Harris's interview on Fox News with Bret Baier. Jim gives Harris some credit for appearing on the show, while praising Baier for pressing her with tough questions on the border crisis and Biden’s cognitive health. However, they ultimately conclude that Harris struggled to directly address these issues or effectively defend her record.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour Host Scot Bertram is in for Jim. Today, Scot and I discuss more female college athletes refusing to complete against males, violent crime statistics getting revised upward significantly, and Kamala staffers pushing her to go on Joe Rogan's podcast.

First, they applaud the University of Nevada women’s volleyball team for refusing to compete against San Jose State due to safety concerns over a biological male on the opposing team. Nevada becomes the fifth Mountain West Conference team to boycott San Jose State. Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo supports the players, while the university issues a much less clear response.

Next, we break down the revised 2022 violent crime statistics, which reveal many more violent crimes than originally reported. Scot now questions the accuracy of 2023 crime data, and both express frustration with weak prosecutors who continue to release violent criminals, leading to repeat offenses.

Lastly, they discuss the amusing reports of Kamala Harris’ staff pushing her to appear on Joe Rogan’s podcast. Scot explains why this interview would be a disaster for Harris, and they reflect on how the left very recently demonized Rogan as a danger to society.

Join Jim and Greg as they discuss Bill Clinton admitting the Biden-Harris border failures, the Justice Department suing Virginia for updating its voter rolls, and CBS caught distorting reponses again - this time from a prominent Republican.

First, Jim and Greg discuss how Bill Clinton hurt the Harris campaign by referencing the brutal murder of Laken Riley, who was killed by an illegal migrant. Clinton stated that "if they'd all been properly vetted, this probably wouldn't have happened," directly challenging the left's defense of Biden-Harris immigration policies. His comments also undermined two other longstanding narratives on the left. Nonetheless, Jim also notes that Clinton proved again that he has an ability to address subjects in a way that most modern day Democrats do not.

Next, they focus on the Justice Department's lawsuit against Virginia for removing more than 6,300 ineligible voters from its rolls. These names include deceased individuals, people who have moved, and non-citizens, who should not be voting in U.S. elections. Jim and Greg question why the federal government would oppose efforts to maintain voter integrity and ensure only eligible citizens are on the rolls.

Finally, they shift to media bias, exposing CBS’s distortion of House Speaker Mike Johnson’s interview on "Face the Nation." Johnson's team recorded the interview, revealing that critical comments criticizing Democratic policies were heavily edited or omitted. Jim also explains how many in the media justify abandoning all pretense of objectivity in elections now.

Join Jim and Greg as they serve up two bad martinis and a crazy one to kick off the week. In today’s episode, they dive into JD Vance's immigration debate with ABC News, the growing panic within the Harris campaign, and the left's relentless attacks on Columbus and European history.

First, they break down JD Vance’s takedown of ABC News host Martha Raddatz during Sunday’s interview. Raddatz downplayed the growing threat of Venezuelan gangs in Colorado by claiming they were only controlling a "handful" of apartment complexes. Vance shot back, dismantling the biased premise of her question and revealing the media's flawed narrative on immigration.

Next, they explore why Democrats are increasingly panicked about Kamala Harris’s campaign just weeks before the election. Jim explains why there's good reason for the high anxiety on the left and Greg wonders whether voters are realizing their first impressions of Harris - and not the DNC depiction of her - were correct all along.

Finally, they mark Columbus Day, noting that the left now openly despises Columbus and all European colonists. Even Kamala Harris was saying the same thing not that long ago. They explain why Columbus is clearly worth celebrating and how drastically different the left's rhetoric is on issues like this when we are close to an election.

Join Jim and Greg as they discuss the outstanding leadership of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis during hurricane season, the laughable double standards among Democrats when it comes to accepting election results, and the allegations of despicable behavior against Doug Emhoff.

First, they're impressed with how Gov. DeSantis is coordinating the state's hurricane response, his mastery of hurricane history to dispel arguments that climate change is responsible for the recent storms, and his common sense policies for getting Floridians back on their feet as quickly as possible after the storm.

Next, they share a good laugh at the hypocrisy displayed by some House Democrats. Despite being harsh critics of Trump’s rejection of the 2020 election results, these Democrats are now hesitant to commit to certifying a Trump victory in 2024, claiming they would need to "make sure all the rules have been followed." But if Republicans say that, they are an existential threat to democracy.

Finally, they delve into the troubling allegations surrounding Doug Emhoff, Kamala Harris’s husband. Emhoff has already admitted to ending his first marriage after an affair with the family nanny, whom he impregnated. More recent accusations suggest that he slapped an ex-girlfriend in public and exhibited misogynistic behavior toward women in his law firm, raising serious concerns about his character.

Join Jim and Greg as they discuss more good polling for incumbent GOP senators and two key challengers, the sobering facts and projections about our massive debt and deficits, and the no good, very bad week for CBS News.

First, they break down promising polling for incumbent GOP senators like Florida’s Rick Scott and Texas’ Ted Cruz, as well as key challenger Tim Sheehy’s growing lead over Democrat Sen. Jon Tester in Montana. The outlook for a Republican Senate majority in 2025 is improving.

Next, they groan as new numbers and projections from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) show a $1.8 trillion deficit for this past fiscal year and an even bigger one expected for the year to come. The figures also show that just paying the interest on the debt cost taxpayers $892 billion in Fiscal Year 2024 and will be more than a trillion dollars next year. It's unsustainable and neither party cares.

Finally, they chronicle the horrible week for CBS News. This includes network management chastising "CBS This Morning" Co-Host Tony Dokoupil for asking some tough questions of Ta-Nehisi Coates about his new book that's very hostile towards Israel, "60 Minutes" egregiously editing the interview with Kamala Harris, and network brass telling reporters not to say that Jerusalem is in Israel.

Join Jim and Greg as they discuss whether President Biden is deliberately damaging the Kamala Harris campaign, Harris doing even worse in a second opportunity to distance herself from Biden's record, and Tim Walz wanting to abolish the Electoral College.

First, they appreciate Biden defending the hurricane preparations by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis ahead of Hurricane Milton after Vice President Harris suggested DeSantis didn't take her calls over politics. But they also wonder whether Biden is subtly or even subconsciously undermining Harris after being shoved aside by his party for a second term.

Next, they examine Harris’s struggles in responding to questions about her differences from Biden’s policies. After her lackluster response on "The View," she stumbles again on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," avoiding a simple question with her usual "word salad." Why is she so bad at answering a simple question?

Finally, Jim and Greg analyze the fallout from Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s comments at a California fundraiser where he advocated for abolishing the Electoral College in favor of a national popular vote. The Harris campaign insists this is not her position, but it is the overwhelming position on the left. So which party is going to protect our norms, laws, and traditions again?

Join Jim and Greg as they serve up three good martinis. Today, they discuss Kamala Harris confirming she and Joe Biden had no major policy differences, Harris getting some tough questions from "60 Minutes", and Republicans gaining ground in three critical Midwest Senate races. Oh, and of course Jim has a couple of thoughts about the New York Jets firing their head coach.

First, they react to Kamala Harris telling the ladies on "The View" that "there's not a thing that comes to mind" when asked whether there was anything she would have done differently than President Biden. She also says she was a part of every major decision Biden made. Jim says this completely ties her to Biden's unpopular record and he is stunned she didn't come up with a single difference.

Next, they applaud Bill Whitaker of "60 Minutes" for asking Kamala Harris tough questions and good follow-up questions, especially on the Biden administration's handling of the border crisis. Jim and Greg also critique Harris’s word salad responses, as she tried to deflect blame onto Republicans while struggling to defend the administration’s failures on immigration.

Finally, Jim and Greg discuss the momentum shift in three key Senate races. With only four weeks left in the campaign, Republicans are gaining ground in Wisconsin, Ohio, and Michigan. Wisconsin is now considered a toss-up, Ohio polling shows a dead heat, and Michigan is within the margin of error, signaling that the GOP could make critical gains in these battleground states.

Greg is back! Join Jim and Greg as they discuss the horrors of the Hamas savagery against Israel one year ago today, notorious arms dealer Viktor Bout back in the business of giving weapons to bad guys, and Kamala Harris proving she is helpless without her teleprompter.

First, they reflect on the horrific Hamas attacks on Israel, marking one year since the brutal invasion that led to mass killings, rapes, and kidnappings. Jim discusses the rise of anti-Semitism on American college campuses and the hypocrisy of anti-Israel protests.

Next, Jim and Greg dive into the return of infamous arms dealer Viktor Bout, who is now reportedly back in the weapons trade after being swapped for American basketball player Brittney Griner less than two years ago. Bout is now allegedly working with Iran-backed Houthi rebels, something Jim argues was an inevitable consequence of the Biden administration's prisoner exchange deal.

Finally, they lighten the mood by discussing Kamala Harris’s embarrassing teleprompter failure, and how her ad libbed remarks reveal just how lost she can be without a script—even after delivering the same speech for months.

Greg is still out, so guest host Craig Collins gets to enjoy a rare day of three good martinis with Jim.

First, CNN delivers a big, detailed, and damning report about scandals in the Minnesota state government under Tim Walz – who knew we could get hard-hitting mainstream media coverage of someone on the Democratic ticket about a month before the election?

Meanwhile, the dockworker strike gets suspended for 90 days – the striking workers will have to make due with "merely” a 62 percent raise over six years, but America dodges an economic bullet.

Finally, Axios reports that Democrats are genuinely worried about the Wisconsin Senate race… and Democratic senator Jon Tester hasn't led a poll out in Montana since mid-August.

View Details

Join Jim and new guest host Craig Collins as they chew over the best news in the Middle East in ages, the realization that “Hezbollah and Hamas are paralyzed temporarily and Iran is exposed and unable to defend itself.”

Meanwhile, the dockworker strike continues, and the leader of the union continues to sound like a character from HBO’s “The Penguin,” pledging to cripple the American economy.

Finally, in the crazy martini, Jim and Craig contemplate the odd report that the Trump campaign might distance themselves from Robert F. Kennedy Jr. because of his additional womanizing, and ask the country’s women a difficult question: Ladies... why are so many of you swooning over RFK Jr?

Join Jim and Greg as they break down Tuesday’s vice presidential debate between Ohio Sen. JD Vance and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz. They explain why Vance dominated, why Walz failed to rise to the occasion, and how the CBS moderators stood out for all the wrong reasons.

First, they highlight Vance’s stellar performance, delivering strong, organized answers while keeping his criticism focused on Kamala Harris rather than Walz. His persuasive responses on the economy, immigration, and the Middle East were particularly effective, though there were a few moments where his answers could have been stronger.

Next, they critique Walz from his shaky start to his painful dodge on his lie about whether he was in China during the Tiananmen Square massacre in June 1989. He seemed to talk more about his record in Minnesota than defending Kamala's performance as vice president. And they note his inadvertent stumble suggesting he was friends with school shooters. It was a slip of the tongue - but Republicans never get the benefit of the doubt when they flub a line.

Finally, they express frustration with CBS moderators Norah O’Donnell and Margaret Brennan. Both displayed bias, making comments critical of GOP positions and contradicting their promise not to fact-check. Brennan especially fumbled when she tried to cut off Vance as he corrected her on immigration facts.

Join Jim and Greg as they marvel at more reported genius from Israeli intelligence and brace for Iranian missile strikes in retaliation. They also slam the outrageous demands of the striking longshoreman's union and preview tonight's vice presidential debate.

First, they discuss reports that Iran’s secret service formed a unit to target Mossad agents, but the effort failed spectacularly as a Mossad agent ended up leading the operation and populating the group with other Mossad operatives. However, they're also paying close attention as Israel braces for an Iranian missile attack in retaliation for Israel's very successful strikes vs. Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Houthis in Yemen.

Next, they turn their attention to the International Longshoremen's Association strike, which has shut down U.S. ports along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. Jim and Greg criticize the union’s demands and President Biden’s lack of leadership in handling the crisis, which could have significant economic repercussions.

Finally, they preview tonight's vice presidential debate between JD Vance and Tim Walz. Jim predicts a strong showing from Vance and questions whether this debate will further highlight Kamala Harris's questionable choice of running mate.

Join Jim and Greg as they dive into Israel’s swift elimination of Hezbollah’s leadership, the alarming number of convicted criminals allowed into the U.S., and the calculated ballot strategies of both RFK Jr. and left-leaning judges.

First, they celebrate Israel’s rapid dismantling of Hezbollah’s command, including the killing of Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah, infamous for his role in the 1983 U.S. Marine barracks bombing in Beirut, among many other atrocities. Israel also swiftly eliminated his successor within hours, showcasing a master class in intelligence work and military precision.

Next, they blast the Biden administration after new ICE data reveals that more than 662,000 people processed into the U.S. are either convicted criminals or have criminal charges pending against them. This includes more than 13,000 convicted murderers, nearly 16,000 convicted sexual offenders, and a total of 422,000 convicted criminals now residing in the country and more than 220,000 others possibly guilty as well.

Finally, they follow the obvious political strategy of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and left-leaning judges over Kennedy's ballot access in several states. As Kennedy tries to stay on the ballot in deep blue states and get off the ballot in battleground states, left-leaning judges are ruling exactly the opposite. So much for the sacred preservation of democracy.

Join Jim and Greg as they wrap up the week by analyzing Argentinian President Javier Milei’s powerful speech at the United Nations, the dangers of sanctuary cities, and a leftist writer who published hacked Trump campaign materials provided by Iran.

First, they praise President Milei for condemning the socialist agenda at the United Nations, calling out the UN for coddling autocrats, constantly criticizing Israel, and empowering repressive regimes in shaping policies on women’s rights. Jim also provides an update on Milei’s economic reforms in Argentina and how they are progressing.

Next, they express outrage over sanctuary cities and counties that endanger residents by releasing dangerous criminal illegals before federal immigration officials can detain them. And it happens over and over again. They focus on a specific case in Jim's backyard in Fairfax County, Virginia, where an illegal immigrant was released three times after arrests for violent crimes.

Finally, they’re disgusted by far-left writer Ken Klippenstein, who published a hacked Trump campaign dossier on JD Vance that was provided by Iran but rejected by Democrats and other media outlets. They explain what really got Klippenstein suspended from X and why his behavior crosses a line in journalism.

Join Jim and Greg as they assess Kamala's weak performance on MSNBC, New York City Mayor Eric Adams getting indicted in a federal foreign bribery case, and President Biden trying to gaslight America and the world about why he's not still running for president.

First, they get a kick out of Kamala Harris struggling mightily to answer very basic questions from MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhle. Harris seemed to have no insights on tariffs or what she would do if Congress didn't pass a corporate tax increase if she were elected. She also delivered another notorious word salad. Jim and Greg debate whether her poor performance is due to incompetence or an attempt to conceal her radical agenda.

Next, they react to New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ federal indictment for allegedly taking bribes from Turkish officials to expedite a questionable construction project. They discuss the implosion of Adams’ administration, whether his criticism of the migrant crisis played a role in the indictment, and the disgraced figure who may be eyeing a political comeback.

Finally, they debunk President Biden’s claim that his decision to step down in July was a selfless move for the good of the nation. Jim and Greg argue that Biden’s narrative, presented during his U.N. speech and appearance on The View, overlooks pressure from top Democrats pushing him out of the 2024 race.

Join Jim and Greg as they serve up all bad and crazy martinis. Today, they discuss Kamala Harris wanting to kill the Senate filibuster to codify Roe v. Wade, her ongoing refusal to confirm whether she still holds the same positions on several controversial issues, and MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhle landing an interview with Harris just days after publicly saying that Harris doesn't need to answer tough questions because Donald Trump is such a threat to our nation.

First, they dive into the vice president's call to suspend the Senate filibuster to codify Roe v. Wade into federal law. Senators Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema - the one-time Democrats who prevented their colleagues from killing the filibuster in the previous Congress - immediately denounced the idea. Jim and Greg explain why ending the filibuster would set a dangerous precedent, ultimately allowing Democrats to dismantle it for all legislative priorities.

They then shift to Harris's refusal to confirm whether her views on controversial issues like the death penalty, citizenship for some illegal immigrants, and decriminalizing sex work have changed. Despite repeated questions, the Vice President also avoids discussing her stance on a California ballot initiative that would increase penalties for minor theft and drug crimes. Jim and Greg not only blast her for trying to obscure her radical positions, but somehow wind up venting about Democrats - and a few Republicans - who failed to keep their word back in the '80s and '90s.

Finally, they roll their eyes as MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhle lands an interview with Harris just days after Ruhle went on "Real Time with Bill Maher" and said Harris didn't need to answer tough questions or clarify policy positions because Trump is so horrible that voting for Harris was an obvious choice. Could this interview be anything other than an Oprah-style campaign ad?

Join Jim and Greg as they look at how the GOP's odds for a U.S. Senate majority seem to be improving, how Tim Walz was a massive failure on COVID deaths in nursing homes and much more, and how Chuck Schumer utterly failed to do his most important job - but will still emerge as a winner.

First, they welcome a new Scott Rasmussen poll (different than Rasmussen Reports) that shows Montana Republican Senate candidate Tim Sheehy with a growing lead over incumbent Democrat Jon Tester. And several other races are inching further in the direction of Republicans. They also rail against the media for constantly labeling Democrats like Pennsylvania's Bob Casey and Virginia's Tim Kaine as "moderates" even though they vote along with the Biden administration's position almost all the time.

Next, they discuss reporting that shows Minnesota's nursing home death rate from COVID was the worst in the nation under Tim Walz, due in large part to his demand that those facilities accept COVID patients after they left the hospital. Jim points out that mainstream media seem thoroughly uninterested in Walz's actual record as governor and are much more content to lazily play into the image of him as a regular guy.

Finally, they groan as Congress appears on the verge of another continuing resolution to keep the government open. But they also highlight Speaker Mike Johnson's point that the House passed 12 separate appropriations bills in committee - also known as regular order - and the Senate ignored the House legislation and passed no spending bills on its own. So Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer didn't do anything to fulfill the most important function of the legislative branch.

Join Jim and Greg as they take on three big martinis, as they discuss the escalating war between Israel and Hezbollah and how Biden botched the Israel-Hamas talks, why Kamala Harris is so eager to have another debate with Donald Trump, how Tim Walz wants to be in your face about politics, and much more.

First, they document the latest developments in the fighting between Israel and Hezbollah and remind the media Hezbollah was firing a lot of rockets into Israel long before the pager explosions last week. They also highlight a Wall Street Journal story saying there probably won't be an Israel-Hamas ceasefire during Biden's presidency and that Biden's team is finally coming to realize what we knew all along - Hamas doesn't want a deal.

Next, they react to Vice President Harris accepting an invitation to a CNN presidential debate on October 23. So far, Trump is declining the offer. But after two months of campaign fluff and avoiding press conferences and most interviews, why is Harris so intent on another debate?

Meanwhile, Greg reported back in 2020 that the State of Michigan sent an absentee voter application to his childhood address, meaning he was (and maybe still is) on Michigan's voter rolls more than 20 years after moving out of the state. Now there's another story of Michigan voter roll insanity that's even worse.

Finally, they shake their heads as Minnesota Gov. Tim "Mind Your Own Damn Business" Walz now thinks you need to confront people in the grocery store about this election and tells those who just want to stay away from politics that they don't have that option.

View Details

Join Jim and Greg as they discuss just how clueless Kamala Harris is on policy, the revolting allegations against North Carolina GOP gubernatorial nominee Mark Robinson, and Doug Emhoff saying Harris shouldn't get any blame for Biden's presidency.

First, they shake their heads as Vice President Harris incoherently rambles her way through a town hall with Oprah Winfrey that was filled with softball questions. Jim says her inability to give convincing arguments is a major stumbling block in Kamala's efforts to prove she is up to the job.

Next, they recoil at the myriad of sexual and racial allegations leveled at Mark Robinson, the Republican nominee for Governor of North Carolina. After wading through the moral and ethical muck contained in the reporting, they fume that the North Carolina GOP apparently knew there were ticking time bombs related to Robinson but championed his candidacy anyway. (Parents may want to be sure kids are not around when you listen to this martini).

Finally, they get another laugh as Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff says his wife should not be held responsible for the performance of the Biden administration or have been expected to achieve any of her current campaign goals while serving as Vice President of the United States.

Join Jim and Greg as they react to Donald Trump dominating the vote among Teamsters Union members but the union refusing to offer any endorsement, the State Department stripping Iran envoy Robert Malley of his security clearance but never bothering to enforce it, and Nancy Pelosi insisting Kamala Harris won an open primary to become the Democrats' nominee.

First, they highlight the dramatic shift among Teamsters Union members, who moved from favoring Joe Biden over Trump by eight points to supporting Trump over Kamala Harris by 27 points. But somehow that lopsided margin was not enough for Trump to get the endorsement. But the Teamsters also refused to endorse Harris. So did Trump's royal treatment of the Teamsters at the RNC pay off or not?

Next, they express frustration over a State Department Inspector General's report revealing that, even after Iran envoy Robert Malley lost his clearance, he continued to access classified information due to a lack of oversight at the highest levels. They also react to reports of Iran hacking the Trump campaign, attempting to relay sensitive information to Biden and Harris.

Finally, they roll their eyes at Nancy Pelosi's assertion that Kamala Harris won an open primary to replace Biden as the Democratic nominee. Jim has some choice words in response to that and has fun with Pelosi claiming that Biden is the most consequential president in modern history.

Join Jim and Greg as they applaud Gov. Ron DeSantis for his deeper explanation for why Florida definitely needs to be conducting its own investigation into this past weekend's attempted assassination of Donald Trump. They also discuss the pathetic question aimed at Kamala Harris in a rare interview opportunity and the weak argument that Donald Trump's love of golf is making him more vulnerable to being attacked.

First, they agree with Gov. DeSantis that state officials do need to be conducting their own investigation because there are some pertinent charges that federal prosecutors cannot pursue but state officials can. And while any prosecution ought to be based on the facts, limiting charges to just a couple of federal gun crimes hardly seems sufficient for a man caught trying to kill a former president who is currently a major party nominee for president.

Next, they groan as one of the panelists interviewing Kamala Harris at a National Association of Black Journalists event asks her the brutally tough question, "Why is joy important to you to insert into this election?" Jim notes that opportunities to question Harris are few and far between so you shouldn't be wasting them on things like that when there are many critical issues worth addressing.

Finally, they cast a skeptical eye on a Politico story suggesting that Donald Trump is putting himself in danger by continuing to play golf, supposedly because it puts a major strain on Secret Service personnel to secure the large amount of space involved. They don't doubt that it is challenging but many presidents have been avid players and Secret Service never seemed to complain about his before.

Join Jim and Greg as they discuss many Hezbollah figures being injured by exploding pagers, Hillary Clinton demanding a more negative media "narrative" about Donald Trump, and the Teamsters Union on the brink of an endorsement.

First, they marvel once again at the ingenuity of (probably) Israeli operatives getting explosives into pagers, the pagers into the hands of thousands of Hezbollah figures, and then detonating them simultaneously. It's the latest in a very creative summer for Israeli intelligence...or whoever carried out these attacks.

Next, they groan as Hillary Clinton is back in public demanding the media carry out a more "consistent narrative" of how "dangerous" Donald Trump is and the threat he allegedly poses to the country and the world. She also continues to blame her 2016 loss to Trump on Russian disinformation. And in addition to confronting international political mischief, Hillary also called for civil and criminal prosecution for Americans found disseminating what she considers misinformation or disinformation.

Finally, they shake their heads at the apparent likelihood that the Teamsters Union will offer an endorsement this week and that Kamala Harris seems more likely to get the nod based on what union boss Sean O'Brien is saying. If that happens, Jim says Republicans should learn a big lesson from handing over a critical hour on the first night of the convention to a guy who bashed right to work and business leaders.

Join Jim and Greg as they dissect an assassination attempt against Donald Trump for the second time this summer. Today, they walk through the disturbing details of what happened in Florida on Sunday, the callous reaction in the media and beyond, and some of the bright spots that we can also see.

First, they walk through a lot of the facts in this case as laid out by law enforcement. There seems to have been a much more competent response than there was in Pennsylvania. But some frustrating questions still linger based on what what we know so far.

Next, they highlight media figures like NBC's Lester Holt and MSNBC's Alex Witt appearing to blame Trump's rhetoric for the latest attempt against his life and suggesting it's Trump who needs to tone down his statements.

Finally, they're thankful for a very observant U.S. Secret Service agent whose vigilance stopped the threat to Trump's life before it could materialize. They're also grateful to learn Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis plans to have state authorities investigate what happened.

Join Jim and Greg as they close the week with an important correction from Thursday's edition, strong thoughts on Trump's rejection of another debate and the questionable characters in his inner circle, and startling indications that the performance of the Secret Service on the day of the Trump assassination attempt was even worse than we thought.

First, they apologize for basing their Thursday story about a Maryland county considering major zoning changes that allegedly threatened existing and future single-family homes on an erroneous story from a local ABC news station. They explain what the proposed changes would actually do and why that news source is unlikely to get the benefit of the doubt again.

Next, they explain why they think Trump was wrong to reject another debate with Kamala Harris, pointing out that even with somewhat biased moderators, a debate is still the best chance to make gettable voters aware of Kamala's radical positions and failed tenure as vice president. They also chide Trump for allowing a figure like Laura Loomer into his inner circle - which is almost guaranteed to make things worse.

Finally, they're stunned to see staunch lefty Connecticut Sen. Dick Blumenthal predict the American people will be "appalled" by the egregious failings of the U.S. Secret Service in connection to the attempted assassination of Trump on July 13. And Blumenthal also blasted the Department of Homeland Security for its lack of cooperation in the investigation.

Join Jim and Greg for a quick and fun discussion of getting spam emails from the DNC. Then they tackle National Security Council spokesman John Kirby disrespecting veterans critical of Biden, an LA Times columnist blaming Republicans for California's litany of problems, and politicians in Maryland considering an end to single-family homes.

After some quick jokes about the odd, unsolicited DNC emails that Greg keeps getting, they dig into Admiral Kirby hitting "reply all" on a request for a statement from veterans mad about Biden's disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan and announcing their concerns weren't even worth a response. "Obviously no use in responding. A ‘handful’ of vets indeed and all of one stripe," is what Kirby said. Jim says Kirby needs to remember that he works for the people and not the Democratic Party.

Next, they roll their eyes at an opinion column in the Los Angeles Times that admits California is a mess. And even though no Republican has held statewide office since early 2011, columnist Steve Lopez says it's still the GOP's fault because of things Republicans did more than 50 years ago and that the Democrats' many failures under one-party control in recent years are also the Republicans' fault. Really! Jim has little patience for this revisionism and says Democrats have been able to do whatever they want in California. And what they want leads to disaster.

Finally, they turn their attention to the DC suburbs in Maryland. For years, people on the right have been branded as conspiracy theorists for saying the left wants to put an end to single-family homes and crowd more people into those spaces in order to collect more in property taxes. In Montgomery County, Maryland, the county council is now...surprise...considering legislation to put an end to single-family homes - under the false pretense of creating more affordable housing.

Join Jim and Greg as they dissect Tuesday night's presidential debate and how everyone on that stage was underwhelming in their performances - from Kamala Harris dodging or lying on the hard questions to Donald Trump missing opportunities and getting easily distracted to the moderators playing favorites. They also update yesterday's Taylor Swift story and reflect on 23 years since the horrific 9/11 terrorist attacks.

First, they break down Kamala's performance, particularly how she refused to answer challenging questions about the Biden-Harris record on the economy, the border, and her many sudden policy changes. They also note specific areas where she tried to sneak to the right of Trump and her clear strategy of baiting Trump away from discussing the issues most damaging to her.

Next, they explain how Trump kept falling for the rabbit trails offered by Harris, his failure to highlight some of the most devastating aspects of the Biden-Harris record, misstating other attempts to land punches, and how he looked generally unprepared for the event. They also highlight a few of his zingers against Harris and Biden, but even those turned out to be missed opportunities.

Then, they evaluate ABC News moderators David Muir and Lindsey Davis for their one-sided, questionable fact-checking and for offering some real softball questions to Harris.

Finally, Jim and Greg share their thoughts as the nation solemnly marks the 23rd anniversary of the 9/11 Al Qaeda terrorist attacks against New York City, the Pentagon, and Flight 93 in Pennsylvania.

Join Jim and Greg as they get you ready for tonight's presidential debate, discuss how the 2025 Virginia governor's race is already shaping up, and sigh as activists on the left are getting frustrated that pop star Taylor Swift has not yet endorsed Kamala Harris.

First, they highlight Virginia Lt. Gov. Winsome Sears officially kicking off her run for governor next year. It's a tough state, sorry, commonwealth, for the GOP to win in and a rough primary could make it even tougher. Jim urges Virginia Republicans to avoid an intraparty bloodbath if at all possible. Sears is very clearly running as a continuation of the "common sense conservatism" of popular GOP Gov. Glenn Youngkin, who is term limited.

Next, they dig into what to expect in tonight's first (and possibly only) presidential debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. They consider how Harris will deal with questions about her supposedly changing positions on a wide variety of issues - changes that tack away from her far left views from the 2020 campaign. They also consider which tactics might be employed by both candidates to throw the other one off message and what to expect from the ABC News moderators this evening.

Then, they try to shake it off over lefties developing bad blood with Taylor Swift over her failure to publicly endorse Kamala Harris thus far in the campaign. Will Swift fall in line by the end of this cruel summer or will she be an anti-hero for the Democrats all the way to Election Day? Either way, Jim says this is taking the connection between celebrities and politics to a new, unhealthy level, where failure to get politically involved is now demonized.

Finally, they offer a short tribute to acting legend James Earl Jones, who died on Monday.

Next, Davi shares what it's like to be a conservative in Hollywood and how becoming more publicly supportive of conservatives and Republicans curiously coincided with a sudden decrease in opportunities to act and direct. He also takes us inside his recent film, "My Son Hunter" about Hunter Biden, the approach he took to directing it, and why many people discovered the film was far different than they expected it to be.

Then, of course, they spotlight Davi's very memorable role in "Die Hard" and why the film endures more than most action movies. And you will not want to miss Davi's hilarious story about watching the "Die Hard" for the first time alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger - complete with his perfect impression of Arnold.

Join Jim and Greg for three complicated martinis to close out the week. They discuss Hunter Biden deciding to plead guilty to federal tax charges, whether parents of school shooters ought to face criminal charges, and the forecast for this years U.S. Senate elections.

First, they focus on Hunter Biden abandoning his plan to go to trial and a subsequent plan to plead guilty without admitting guilt on federal tax charges. Now that he's simply pleading guilty, what does that mean for sentencing, the chances his father pardons him and more? Jim says it's all further proof of one thing - that the critics of Hunter Biden were right and Joe Biden and a lot of other Democrats and media apologists were wrong or flat out lying.

Second, they examine this week's horrific, deadly school shooting at a Georgia high school and mull over whether officials are right to charge the shooter's father with two counts of second degree murder and four counts of involuntary manslaughter for failing to keep guns away from his 14-year-old son who had already been evaluated as a possible threat. Are charges like this a good way to keep parents more vigilant and accountable for their kids' actions and for their own actions or does criminal blame belong solely with the killer?

Finally, they examine the U.S. Senate map this year. And while odds look favorable for Republicans to reclaim a slim majority, there are several other seats held by Democrats which should be vulnerable. But so far the GOP challengers are consistently trailing.

Join Jim and Greg as they discuss Kamala Harris finally agreeing to debate Donald Trump next week, the DOJ's indictment of Russians accused of paying online influencers in the U.S., and how Harris is refusing to take positions on key issues.

First, they're glad that next week's debate will go forward as scheduled after a lot of efforts to rework the agreement - from Trump demanding more debates to Harris insisting on unmuted microphones (which she failed to get). They explain the vapid reason Kamala wanted unmuted mics and whether this will be the final time she will take serious questions before Election Day.

Next, they react to the Justice Department's indictment of two Russians accused of money laundering and failing to register as foreign agents. The indictment also refers to a lot of money being spent on a media company featuring six prominent online influencers here in the U.S. The indictment says those commentators had no knowledge of the arrangement and are not being charged. Defenders of the commentators allege this is simply a return to the government's Russian collusion narrative from eight years ago.

Finally, they hammer Kamala Harris and her campaign for constantly dodging straightforward questions about her ever-evolving positions on many issues. The latest? Their refusal to say whether Harris would sign a legislative electric vehicle mandate that she sponsored while in the U.S. Senate.

Join Jim and Greg as they assess a high-ranking former New York government official getting charged with spying for China, Tucker Carlson platforming an "historian" pushing insane ideas about World War II, and the 'Reagan' movie.

First, they shake their heads as the former Deputy Chief of Staff to New York Gov. Kathy Hochul is charged with spying on behalf of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). They also roll their eyes that Hochul is shocked that the CCP would do such a thing, but they do appreciate her referring to Taiwan as a country.

Next, they unload on Tucker Carlson for hosting a long, nonconfrontational interview with an "historian" who contends that Winston Churchill is the "chief villain" of World War II and that the Holocaust was simply the response to the Nazis capturing so many Russian prisoners who would have otherwise starved to death.

Finally, they offer their reviews of "Reagan," the new film depicting Reagan's lifelong crusade against Soviet communism from Hollywood to the Oval Office. And while they both offer some constructive criticism, they both see the film as a good account of how Reagan viewed the communist threat and how he successfully dealt with it.

Join Jim and Greg for three lousy martinis that all have a strong crazy streak too. After Greg recaps his visit to the Calvin Coolidge presidential site in Vermont, they condemn Hamas for murdering hostages as well as the Biden administration's reaction. They also shudder as illegals are comprising a huge percentage of arrests in New York City but the laws are working against the law-abiding public. And they tear apart a New York Times column for saying the Constitution may be a threat to our politics.

First, they recoil at Hamas murdering six hostages, including American Hersh Goldberg-Polin. But they're also staggered that the immediate media and Biden administration reaction is to put more pressure on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to cut a deal with the bloodthirsty terrorists who orchestrated the October 7th attacks and just slaughtered several innocent people.

Next, they fume as police sources in New York report that 75 percent of assault, robbery, and domestic violence arrests in Midtown Manhattan are of illegal immigrants, and they estimate the number to be 60 percent in Queens. If that weren't bad enough, they explain how sanctuary city laws mean the perpetrators are often freed and officers can't check their legal status or work with Immigration & Customs Enforcement.

Finally, they shake their heads as a New York Times column suggests the Constitution is a threat to our politics because of undemocratic aspects like the Electoral College and small states getting the same number of senators as larger states. Oh, and they they say the originalist bent of the current Supreme Court is a problem because the justices dare to seek out what the Founding Fathers meant when they wrote the Constitution.

As America pauses for Labor Day, Jim and Greg welcome in highly respected presidential historian Tevi Troy of the Bipartisan Policy Center. His latest book is "The Power and the Money: The Epic Clashes Between Commanders in Chief and Titans of Industry." Tevi is also a huge fan of "Die Hard," so you know they won't miss a chance to talk about that!

They begin by noting that Troy is well known for being the historian pouring cold water on politicians and their supporters, who are frequently and loudly insisting that whatever they are upset about is unprecedented and proof that the other side is on the brink of ruining the nation. Tevi says that over 235 years of the presidency we've seen a lot, and the people pulling their hair out don't know their history and are often substituting politics for religion.

Next, they dig into Troy's book, "The Power and the Money" and how in the span of 150 years, America went from a posture of government and business being completely separate to now being very closely intertwined and impacting our lives regularly. They explore who deserves a lot of the blame for that disturbing evolution and which historical examples best inform of us of today's nexus between business and politics.

Finally, as promised, they close out their discussion with a deep dive into "Die Hard," exploring why it remains a cultural phenomenon and what separate it from other great action movies. And they reflect on how it portrays institutions like the government and the media.

Jim and Greg are getting an early start on Labor Day weekend, so their assessment of the Kamala Harris CNN interview will have to wait for another day. Instead, they examine the state of both campaigns and what the long term impact of the DNC switching candidates will be on future election cycles.

First, they look at the Trump campaign and the massive opportunity and challenge facing the Trump-Vance ticket. They stress that Trump has a huge advantage if he stays on message about the disaster that has unfolded on the watch of both Harris and president Biden. From the border to inflation to an unstable world to the left's radical cultural agenda, the path to victory is right there. But can Trump stay disciplined enough to focus on that all the way to the finish line?

Next, they examine the Harris campaign and it's ongoing effort to make this an election about history and momentum rather than anything substantive. So far Harris has abandoned more positions than she has established in this campaign, and Democrats are actively encouraging her not to get more specific in order to attract more voters. Can this empty approach actually work?

Finally, they consider how the Dems' swapping out Biden for Harris might impact future election cycles. There is clearly an advantage to avoid a grueling two-year campaign and making a three-month sprint to Election Day. So will we see shorter primary seasons or some other new approach as the parties seek the upper hand?

Join Jim and Greg for what Jim is describing as the "we told you so" edition of 3 Martini Lunch! Today, they discuss a new poll showing Kari Lake getting crushed in the Arizona U.S. Senate race, the public disappearance of President Biden, and a report showing Biden overruled his advisers in insisting upon the ill-fated Gaza pier.

First, they sigh as a new Fox News poll shows far-left Rep. Ruben Gallego leading Republican Kari Lake by 15 points in the Arizona Senate race. Even if the poll is a bit of an outlier, other surveys show Lake trailing by high single digits. The GOP should be able to field very competitive candidates in Arizona, but Kari Lake is not one of them.

Next, they wonder whatever happened to the guy who is apparently still the president. Biden seems to be in the witness protection program since dropping out of the presidential race, with the exception of his late night convention speech. So is he actually on the job?

Finally, they shake their heads as an inspector general's report shows that USAID officials tried to convince Biden not to construct the Gaza pier because even small waves would render it useless. But Biden rejected their advice and went forward with the operation anyway.

Join Jim and Greg as they discuss what to expect from Kamala Harris, Tim Walz, and Dana Bash now that Harris is finally agreeing to an interview. They also weigh in on Democrats and environmentalists ignoring a massive oil spill in the Red Sea caused by Iranian proxies and Politico being horrified that JD Vance is connecting Harris to the performance of the Biden administration.

First, Jim is glad to see Harris finally agree to any interview after 37 days of ducking formal, on-camera interviews and press conferences. He and Greg also consider how CNN's Dana Bash will approach the event and which questions need to be asked.

Next, they scratch their heads as the Biden administration, national Democrats and prominent environmental groups remain awfully quiet after the Iran-backed Houthis attacked an oil tanker in the Red Sea, triggering an exponentially bigger spill than the Exxon Valdez suffered back in 1989.

Finally, they hammer Politico for reporting that GOP vice presidential nominee JD Vance "tries to tether Harris to Biden during Michigan rally." Uh, she's the sitting Vice President of the United States. And Jim and Greg remark on how the media and the left are trying to convince Americans that Harris has no political past or involvement in the very unpopular policies of the Biden presidency.

Join Jim and Greg as they squeeze four stories into today's podcast, from the DNC's absurd efforts to undermine democracy in Wisconsin to Mark Zuckerberg admitting the FBI, the White House and other federal entities pressured him over online speech and from Kamala Harris tacitly backing a border wall to the return of repression and terrorist safe havens in Afghanistan.

Before the official martinis, they highlight how Democrats are trying to limit voters' options ahead of the presidential election. The Wisconsin Supreme Court has thankfully dismissed a lawsuit trying to kick the Green Party's Jill Stein off the ballot in the Badger State. And it has to be one of the dumbest arguments for removing a candidate that we've ever heard.

Then, they react to Meta's Mark Zuckerberg admitting to House Republicans that the Biden administration urged him to censor COVID-19 content on Facebook, including humor and satire. And the FBI pre-emptively told him to be on the lookout for "Russian disinformation" about the Biden family and Burisma, so he was predisposed to spike the story of the Hunter Biden laptop when it was reported in the NY Post.

Next, they assess an Axios story that suggests Kamala Harris has flip-flopped again, this time embracing a border wall since she's on the record backing the Senate immigration bill. This change in policy is not something her staffers have announced, but it's another sign she is running to the middle despite her long radical record - and its happening while Democrats are planning a very progressive agenda in Congress with her full blessing.

Finally, they wince as the Taliban reimpose some of the most repressive policies against women just as we mark three years since the disastrous Biden withdrawal from Afghanistan. Jim also points out terrorist groups, including Al Qaeda, are thriving there again. And all of it happening with your tax dollars.

Join Jim and Greg as they serve up two good martinis and a definite bad one as they note RFK Jr.'s strong case for how Democrats trampled all over democracy in this election cycle, Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton refusing to let ABC News promote a false pro-Kamala narrative, and Donald Trump trying to cozy up to the pro-abortion crowd.

First, they discuss Robert F. Kennedy Jr. dropping off the ballot in ten competitive states and endorsing Donald Trump. And while there is plenty to be skeptical about with respect to Kennedy, he delivered a strong indictment of the Democrats for squashing any attempt to challenge Joe Biden for the party nomination and keeping Kennedy and other candidates off the ballot for the general election.

Next, they applaud Sen. Cotton for his masterful rejection of Harris talking points coming from Jonathan Karl of ABC News. As Cotton pointed out radical Harris positions from the 2020 campaign, like abolishing private health insurance, Karl interjected to say Harris no longer holds that position. Cotton refused to let Karl (or Harris) get away with that.

Finally, they fume as Trump vows on social media that "my administration will be great for women and their reproductive rights." After scoring the biggest pro-life win in half a century, Trump is focusing on trying to coax some pro-abortion voters to his side while just assuming pro-life voters won't care and will show up for him as strongly as ever.

Join Jim and Greg as they react to Kamala Harris accepting the Democratic nomination on Thursday night. They examine her promise to be a president who will always put country over party, her vow to create an economy of opportunity, and her approach to the Middle East and other national security issues.

First, they note how the Harris campaign is trying to replay the Obama strategy of staying vague on policy and denouncing the intense political rancor and division that she has been aggressively inflaming for the past eight years. The problem for Harris is that her record of far-left policies and partisan rhetoric is far more extensive than Obama's was in 2008.

Next, they contrast Kamala's call for an "economic opportunity" agenda with her many earlier statements about the need for equity and "equal outcomes." They also mention her disingenuous stance on immigration and the border crisis and explain how one aspect of Thursday's convention story is a perfect metaphor for the left's rhetoric vs. the left's actions.

Finally, they dig into Harris speaking on the Middle East crisis, as she delivered the most intense administration denunciation of the Hamas terrorist attacks in months - and then turned around and insisted there needs to be a Palestinian state.

Join Jim and Greg as they discuss the third night of the Democratic National Convention and more. They comment on Bill Clinton's decline, the fictional Tim Walz highlighted at the DNC vs. the one with a real & disturbing record as governor, the Dems projecting the fantasy that they are the party of freedom, and Biden's commerce secretary giving a bizarre reaction to a lousy jobs report.

First, after commenting on Clinton's speech that was underwhelming and way too long, they dissect the "strikingly shameless" portrayal of Tim Walz as an everyman and good neighbor instead of the far left politician who coddled rioters, threatened anyone reluctant to take a Covid vaccine, added a Covid snitch line, and has had a cozy relationship with China for decades.

Next, they shake their heads as Democrat after Democrat pretended that they are the party of freedom and that Republicans are the party of federal intrusion into our lives. And yet, there's only a couple of "freedoms" that they really care about and got repeated over and over Wednesday night.

Finally, they laugh as Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo accuses Donald Trump of issuing the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) report showing the government overestimated the number of jobs created over the past year by 818,000. When confronted with the truth, Raimondo claimed she was not aware of the report.

Join Jim and Greg as they assess speeches from Barack and Michelle Obama at the Democratic National Committee, recoil at Kamala's proposed tax hikes and current job revisions, and speculate on the impact of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. possibly ending his independent bid for president and endorsing Donald Trump.

First, after lamenting that the Democrats temporarily took down the Bulls and Blackhawks championship banners, they react to Tuesday night's convention speeches from the Obamas. While they readily admit that both of them are very skilled at speaking and motivating their party's base, they also highlight how the former president is always right in the middle of the political mudslinging while pretending to stay above the fray. And they notice some very telling signs about what the Obamas really think of the Bidens.

Next, they shudder as Kamala Harris endorses a long list of new taxes, including major hikes in the corporate and capital gains tax rate - and even a big tax on "unrecognized" capital gains, meaning people would be taxed on money they haven't even made yet. They also cringe at revised job numbers from the Labor Department showing 818,000 fewer jobs were actually created in the past year than previously reported.

Finally, after RFK, Jr.'s running mate says there's a chance Kennedy will drop out and endorse Trump, Jim and Greg consider whether they think that will happen and whether such an event would have a major effect on the 2024 presidential race.

Jim is back today, joining the podcast from the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. Today, Jim and Greg dissect Biden's angry & often false speech, the Democrats running way behind schedule at the convention, & Jill Biden and Nancy Pelosi offering very different explanations for why Biden abandoned his re-election bid.

First, they break down Biden's long, loud speech that was full of debunked accusations and major distortions about his record. From his performance on border security to COVID & schools to job creation, Biden played fast & loose with the truth and, of course, had more than a few moments of mangling his words.

Next, they're stunned at how badly run the first night of the DNC was. Jim explains what a hassle it was for media and delegates to get into the arena. And then, Democrats scheduled a bunch of barely known figures to speak past the prime time window. Did Democrats intentionally shove Joe to a time the viewership would be dwindling?

Finally, they get a kick out of the very different explanations given last night for why Biden dropped his re-election bid, with First Lady Jill Biden stating that Joe made the decision after looking "deep into his soul" and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi admitting she "did what I had to do" but insisting that Joe made his own decision.

Jon Gabriel, the Undisputed King of Stuff and columnist for Discourse magazine and the Arizona Republic is in for Jim. Today, Jon and Greg remember daytime talk show host Phil Donahue, get a kick out of Democrats inching away from Kamala's price control plans, condemn Planned Parenthood for offering free abortions and vasectomies near the Democratic National Convention, and react to Democrats not wanting any policy specifics from Kamala Harris until after the election. And they share what they wish Joe Biden would say in his convention speech tonight.

First, they offer a quick remembrance of Phil Donahue, the far left daytime talk show host who nonetheless wanted to have substantive conversations with people he disagreed with.

Next, they enjoy watching Democrats like Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer squirm when asked to defend the price controls on food proposed by Kamala Harris. They also stress what a terrible idea it is to think the government should be tasked with solving inflation problem with more intervention.

Then, they recoil in horror as Planned Parenthood offers to provide free abortions and vasectomies at its mobile clinic near the Dems' convention site. Worse yet, the schedule for both filled up quickly. Greg and Jon express their disgust at how cavalierly the left discards precious human life and how it uses that disdain to push forward its political agenda.

Finally, they examine the Dems being perfectly happy to let Kamala avoid specifics on issues until after the election. It shows how afraid they are if voters know just how radical their agenda. They also look ahead to President Biden's convention speech tonight - both what it probably will include and what they really, really wish he would say about the intraparty plot to end his re-election bid.

Join Jim and Greg as they take the current president and both major party nominees to task today. They unload on Kamala's proposed government intrusion into the economy, Trump's cavalier comparison involving the Medal of Honor, and Biden's staff having to explain yet again that what Biden said isn't administration policy.

First, they review more specifics from Vice President Harris's economic plan to reduce the cost of food, housing and more. They explain that the money she wants to give first-time homebuyers will only drive up prices - due to the infusion of money and higher demand. And they tee off on her plans to tell companies how much they are allowed to charge. And one of Jim's fellow Washington Post columnists - who is not on the political right - pulls no punches on condemning the agenda.

Next, they address Donald Trump honoring donor Miriam Adelson by reflecting on the time he awarded her with the Presidential Medal of Freedom. In doing so, he compared that award with the Medal of Honor and remarked that the Presidential Medal of Freedom is "actually much better" because the Medal of Honor recipients are "either in very bad shape because they've been hit so many times by bullets or they're dead" and Mrs. Adelson is "a healthy, beautiful woman."

Finally, they rip the listless, lame duck presidency of Joe Biden, who once again wandered off script with the media - this time on Venezuela. And his national security staff once had to come out and tell us to ignore what the president just said.

Join Jim and Greg as they still struggle to locate a good martini. Instead, they highlight how Kamala Harris is trying to gaslight Americans about why everything costs so much, the details surrounding Tim Walz's drunk driving arrest back in the '90s, and a Secret Service agent found missing from her post just moments before Trump's arrival at a rally in North Carolina.

First, they note Vice President Harris, just like President Biden, is planning to blame high prices on greedy, gouging companies instead of their reckless spending and other inflationary policies. They give Harris a quick review of why costs skyrocketed in the first couple years of the Biden-Harris administration and why demonizing corporate America is not going to help at all.

Next, they dig into the details of Tim Walz's 1995 drunk driving arrest for going 96 MPH in a 55 MPH zone. In addition to documenting that Walz lied about it as recently as his 2006 congressional campaign. Jim also points to the final days of the 2000 presidential election to prove that drunk driving arrests can cause serious problems many years later.

Finally, they groan as a Secret Service agent was discovered to be away from her post without permission just minutes before Donald Trump arrived for a rally because she was breastfeeding her baby. While they love kids, Jim and Greg don't think bringing kids to your protective detail is a very good idea. And they are stunned that anyone in the Secret Service would be cutting any corners right now.

Join Jim and Greg as they offer no good martinis but a whole tray of crazy ones. Today, they react to media reports that Kamala's campaign is doctoring media headlines in online ads, Harris trying to politically reinvent herself as the change candidate in 2024, and the media realizing it's now OK to admit Hunter Biden was up to his eyeballs in shady foreign deals due to his name and access to his dad.

First, they fume at an Axios story explaining that the Harris campaign created fake headlines under the banner of real media outlets like Reuters, USA Today, and CBS News. The reporter who broke the story then immediately tried to downplay it and the media entities involved hardly seem to care.

Next, they roll their eyes at another Axios report explaining how Kamala Harris is jettisoning some of her most far left positions and distancing herself from Joe Biden as part of her sprint to November. She's even trying to position herself as the "change candidate" after four years in the current administration. And why? Because Americans overwhelmingly don't like the direction our country is headed.

Finally, they note multiple headlines noting that Special Counsel David Weiss and the State Department's own records reveal evidence of Hunter Biden influence peddling overseas - in one case he was paid to directly lobby for Romania while Joe Biden was vice president. Jim wants to know where to go for his award on being right about this story, President Biden's decline, and so many other stories initially branded as misinformation...until they could no longer be denied.

First, they react to Bret Baier immediately shredding the weak argument from New York Rep, Dan Goldman that Donald Trump is afraid to debate Kamala Harris - and pointing out that Harris is the one refusing to commit to debates right now.

Next, they get a kick out of the audience at "The Late Show" getting a good laugh out Stephen Colbert suggesting that CNN is "objective" and just "report the news as it is" - in front of a CNN anchor. Jim and Greg break down how just the few weeks are ample proof of how most media are purely activists these days, how politics have ruined late night TV and more.

Finally, they reflect on the latest financial statement from the #NeverConservatives at The Lincoln Project, showing it spends more than 90 percent of its money on "overhead" and a lot of that money just ends up in separate "media" entities run by current Lincoln project figures and their allies. And all donors ever get for their money is amateurish videos that have no impact on any elections.

Jim Geraghty is back after a much-deserved vacation and weathering the remnants of Hurricane Debby. Join Jim and Greg as they cheer Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin and his team for their due diligence in preparing for the elections, scold the AP and other media for allowing Kamala Harris to dodge serious questions for three weeks and counting, and slamming Tim Walz for forcing his own 87-year-old mom to isolate after heart surgery during Covid.

First, they applaud Virginia for doing what Jim calls the "basic blocking and tacking of government" and making sure the commonwealth's voter rolls are up to date. In doing so, officials found 80,000 dead people still eligible to vote along with more than 6,300 non-citizens. This shouldn't be that hard to update. So why isn't every state doing it?

Next, they shake their heads as the media are still pandering to Kamala Harris and only offering the softest criticism for her refusal to take serious questions for more than three weeks since President Biden ended his campaign. Even worse, media outlets like the Associated Press are running stories downplaying the importance of candidates engaging in sit-down interviews.

Finally, they shudder at video from the pandemic in which Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz says he made his 87-year-old mother live alone right after heart surgery because he feared negative headlines if his mom came to live with him. So instead of amending his own draconian stay-at-home orders to help his mom and to allow anyone to care for a loved one who needed assistance, he decided enforcing the shutdown orders were more important.

Undisputed King of Stuff and Discourse Magazine and Arizona Republic columnist Jon Gabriel is in for Jim. Today, Jon and Greg offer brief thoughts on the 50th anniversary of President Nixon's resignation. Then they hammer the British government for criminalizing free speech, take CNN to task for minimizing JD Vance's service in defense of Tim Walz, and get a good laugh at just how far Politico will go to carry water for the left.

First, they unload on officials in the UK who threaten to arrest anyone for making or repeating a social media post they deem offensive or could lead to violence. And they have many police officers who spend all day scouring social media looking for offenders.

Next, they scold CNN's Brianna Keilar for suggesting that Sen. Vance is an inperfect messenger to criticize Gov. Walz's service because while Vance's official title in Iraq was "combat correspondent." It's an argument concocted simply to deflect the mounting criticism of Walz.

Finally, they get a kick out of Politico's fevered efforts to boost Democrats and criticize Republicans. They point to one story fawning over how well Walz looks in casual wear and other one that compares Trump to Mussolini because they both survived assassination attempts.

Inez Stepman of the Independent Women's Forum and host of the "High Noon" podcast is in for Jim. Today, Inez and Greg discuss the controversy over Gov. Tim Walz's military service, his problem with free speech, and a federal judge ruling that Google is a "monopolist."

First, they dig into the back-and-forth between Gov. Walz and Sen. JD Vance over Vance's life story, whether Walz retired from the Army National Guard to avoid going to Iraq, and Walz's documented comments about "weapons of war that I carried in war." Will this be a lingering issue in the campaign? Inez says this alone might not be a huge problem long term for Harris-Walz but additional stories that raise doubts about his veracity might be a different story.

They also highlight a comment Walz made years ago saying, "There's no guarantee to free speech on misinformation and hate speech, and especially around our democracy." Inez points out there is no constitutional basis for that position. And while the goal of free speech is to seek and find the truth, she says the Bill of Rights protects speech that is factually incorrect.

Finally, they highlight this week's federal court ruling siding with the Justice Department's argument that Google is a "monopolist" in terms of how it forces its products on others. And while Inez and Greg are always wary of the government injecting itself into the market, they also see a clear ideological monopoly showing up in Google search results.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour Host Scot Bertram is in for Jim. Today, after a quick update on baseball and another member of "The Squad" losing to a fellow Democrat, Scot and Greg groan over the media's predictable infatuation with Tim Walz, detail just how draconian Walz was in his COVID lockdown enforcement, and how California's plastic bag ban led to way more plastic bag trash.

First, they roll their eyes as the mainstream media not only carry the Democrats' narrative on Tim Walz but they all immediately start using the term "folksy" to describe him. The shameless obedience to the left's talking points is hardly a surprise but the contrast with how reporters characterized JD Vance a few weeks ago is rather stark.

Next, they dig into just how authoritarian Gov. Walz was in Minnesota during his aggressive COVID lockdowns - including how his government set up a snitch line so that people throughout the state could rat out their neighbors for such reckless behavior as walking their dog, playing basketball, and trying the keep their business open.

Finally, they get a kick out of lefties in California wanting a "do over" on a plastic bag ban after the first one led to a massive increase in the amount of plastic bags in the trash.

Brian Wesbury, Chief Economist at First Trust LP and the former Chief Economist for the Joint Economic Committee of Congress, is in for Jim. Today, Brian and Greg dissect Kamala Harris choosing Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate and why it may be a gift to the GOP. Brian also explains why the markets are in turmoil right now, why you shouldn't panic, and more.

First, they respond to the breaking news that Harris-Walz will be the ticket for Democrats in 2024. They explain why this is the furthest left ticket in recent memory and why it gives Donald Trump and JD Vance ample opportunities to expose how far out of the mainstream Harris and Walz really are. And they discuss the Walz record in Minnesota - from his disastrous handling of the 2020 riots to his far left economic and social positions.

Next, Brian goes through the factors leading to the major volatility in world markets over the past several days. He says we are largely paying the price for terrible policies enacted during the Covid pandemic and he says the "morphine" is finally wearing off. But there are other important factors as well, and Brian tells us why he thinks the U.S. is headed into a recession but nothing close to a 2008-level crisis.

Finally, Brian explains why investors should not panic during this turmoil and what the smartest government response would be.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour Host Scot Bertram is in for Jim. Today, Scot and Greg tackle a comprehensive new CBS News poll that may give us some insights into which candidate Americans will trust more if the economy is about to sour in a significant way. They also dissect the Trump-Harris spat over when and where to debate, and they roll their eyes as Nancy Pelosi suggests that President Biden belongs on Mount Rushmore.

First, they note the plunging markets worldwide and the various factors that seem to be playing into it. Then they dive into a new CBS News/YouGov poll examining what impact voters think Trump and Harris would have on their personal finances, the border, and much more.

Then, they dive into the back-and-forth between Trump and Harris as they fight over the terms of any upcoming debates. Trump says he's agreed to one with Fox News and is not going to appear at the second debate he originally scheduled with Joe Biden. Harris accuses Trump of running scared and won't do the Fox News event. So as of now, there is no debate scheduled. Will that change and who stands to benefit most by having at least one?

Finally, they laugh as Nancy Pelosi tells CBS Sunday Morning that Joe Biden's "consequential" presidency merits his addition to Mount Rushmore. They explain how the American people already rendered a clear verdict on Biden's time and how Pelosi is furiously trying to remove her fingerprints from the successful campaign to end Biden's re-election campaign.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour Host Scot Bertram is in for Jim today. After a brief update on the prisoner swap with Russia, Scot and Greg discuss the final jockeying among Democrats to be the vice presidential nominee, July's worse-than-expected unemployment report, and Kamala flubbing her first unscripted moment in weeks.

First, they examine the state of the Democrats' veepstakes, including some last-minute efforts to pour cold water on the possibility of Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro joining the Harris ticket. They also comment on how aggressively some figures are campaigning for the job when historically they have downplayed any interest.

Next, they wince as the July unemployment report shows significantly fewer jobs created than expected last month, plus an uptick in the jobless rate and the number of Americans unemployed overall. Is this evidence of a possible recession on the horizon or just a one-month anomaly?

Finally, they react to Vice President Harris finally having an unscripted moment on camera. And even with the softest of questions, her typical word salad was back. Scot says Harris would never have survived a full primary campaign and he marvels at the fawning coverage over her campaign despite the fact she's done absolutely nothing of note in the past two weeks, other than raise money.

It's four martinis for the price of three today as Jim and Greg unpack the latest details in the killing of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh, the prisoner swap with Russia that freed two Americans, the government striking a plea bargain with 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, and Donald Trump focusing on Kamala's race instead of her train wreck of a record.

First, they enjoy learning how Haniyeh was killed by a bomb planted months earlier and detonated remotely. It seems to point more clearly to an Israeli operation and a massive, embarrassing failure for the Iranian government and especially its terrorist arm, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps.

Next, they're thrilled to hear Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich and fellow American Paul Whelan are being released by Russia. What reports don't tell us yet is who or what the U.S. is giving Russia in return. And given the Obama-Biden track record on lopsided prisoner swaps, that's an important question.

Then, they groan as the U.S. government strikes a plea deal with Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and two other 9/11 conspirators. The agreement removes the possibility of capital punishment for any of them. 9/11 survivors and family members are not happy. And while Jim and Greg understand there's a slight possibility of these terrorists revealing more than they already have, it's hard to imagine anyone more deserving of death then they are.

Finally, Jim unloads on Donald Trump for wondering when Kamala Harris decided she was black because he says she spent much of her life identifying with her Indian heritage. Not only does that moment give Harris a chance to go on offense, but it shows Trump getting distracted from going after the endless political liabilities Harris brings into this campaign.

Today, Jim and Greg discuss the deaths of leaders of both Hamas and Hezbollah, Kari Lake winning the Arizona GOP Senate primary, and dueling attack ads on the border put out by the Harris and Trump campaigns.

First, they celebrate the air strikes that killed Ismail Haniyeh, political leader of Hamas, and Fu’ad Shukr, a top military leader of Hezbollah, both men responsible for brutal attacks that took droves of innocent lives. Jim observes the aura of mystery around Haniyeh's death, as Israel claimed responsibility for Shukr's death, but not his.

Next, they sigh as Arizona Republicans hand the U.S. Senate primary victory to Kari Lake. Jim emphasizes her unpopularity, her loss of what should have been an easily winnable governor's election, and her flip-flopping on key issues. He also thinks that any other candidate would have been preferable.

Finally, they compare dueling attack ads put out by the Harris and Trump campaigns, with VP Kamala Harris's campaign attempting to gaslight Americans on her immigration record and claim that Donald Trump is soft on immigration. Jim cannot fathom how her campaign team thought that this sort of gaslighting was the way to go.

Today, Jim and Greg discuss VP Kamala Harris's reversals on several positions she ran on in 2020, the weak U.S. response to election fraud in Venezuela, and Biden's unconscionable positions on the Supreme Court.

First, they get whiplash from Kamala's sudden switch on fracking, assault rifle bans, a single payer healthcare system, and more. Jim is encouraged that she is forced to recognize that the Overton Window has shifted right, but he'd like to see her do an interview and explain her position changes on these issues.

Next, they spotlight some international reactions to Venezuelan President Maduro's fraudulent election, including a lot of crickets from the Biden administration. Jim agrees with Florida Sen. Marco Rubio's take that President Biden made a terrible deal with Maduro and Biden cannot criticize what is happening in Venezuela without looking very foolish.

Finally, they roll their eyes at Biden's insane new proposal for reforming the Supreme Court so that he can manipulate it, including setting term limits. Jim points out that this is the most radical attempt to control the Supreme Court that we have ever seen from a U.S. president.

Today, Jim and Greg discuss the long shadow behind the recent wave of Kamalamania, from reports that Vice President Kamala Harris treats her staffers terribly, to some highly questionable stances she has taken on immigration and radical Islamic terrorism, to many seeing her as a drag on Biden just a few months ago.

First, they dive into the numerous reports of her troubled vice presidency, featuring an astronomical turnover rate for staffers and a disinterest in being briefed that leads to foolish-looking public appearances. Jim is especially troubled by her disinterest in being briefed, forecasting a fraught presidency if she is elected and keeps this up.

Next, they revisit some of her dubious statements on "radical Islamic terrorism" and "illegal aliens," claiming that these terms are harmful and should be rejected, even going so far as to say that being an illegal alien is not a crime. Jim is baffled as to how someone in law enforcement could claim that illegal immigration is not a crime.

Finally, they point to statements from Democrats and media columnists just a few months ago which called for Kamala to be removed from Biden's ticket to help his odds. Jim acknowledges that the rebranding of Kamala now speaks to how enthusiastic Democrats are to have a candidate that they can be excited about as opposed to Biden.

View Details

Today, Jim and Greg discuss polls emerging that show Americans believe Vice President Harris helped to cover up President Biden's decline, Donald Trump not committing to debate Harris yet, and the reluctant endorsement that the Obamas finally gave Kamala.

First, they raise a double-fisted good martini to polls that confirm a broad acknowledgement of the cover-up of Biden's declining health, with many Americans believing Kamala had a role to play in concealing his true condition. They also observe how she is slowly coming more and more into the spotlight, taking on duties and making appearances that one would expect of the president. And they applaud the Free Beacon's Matthew Continetti for pointing out the media whiplash on how it characterizes Biden.

Next, they comment on Trump's statement that he won't commit to debate Kamala until it has been confirmed that she will be the nominee. Jim thinks that this is not the right move, saying Trump should be pushing for as many debates as possible.

Finally, they cringe through a video of the Obamas endorsing Kamala over the phone, which was released in the middle of the night. Jim and Greg also break down the Democratic veepstakes.

Today, Jim and Greg discuss President Biden's address to the nation last night, Prime Minister Netanyahu's remarks to Congress, and the media trying to cover up the fact that Kamala was tasked with stopping the tide of humanity illegally crossing our border - and failed.

First, they go over some highlights from Biden's address, which gave us no clarifying information about why he decided not to run again. They also roll their eyes at his final attempts to gaslight the American people about the merits of his presidency and his ugly insinuation that the fate of our republic depends upon Kamala Harris winning in November.

Next, they dive into the good and bad parts of the news surrounding Netanyahu's visit to Washington, the good being the content of his speech and the bad being the insanity of anti-Israel and pro-Hamas protesters. They also take a moment to appreciate Vice President Harris's denouncement of the protests.

Finally, they chuckle at some hilarious flailing from the media as they attempt to cover up Kamala's responsibility for the border, even though they were all calling her "border czar" not long ago. Jim takes them to task for this, and points out that the best strategy for Kamala would be owning up to the title while throwing the rest of Biden's administration under the bus.

Today, Jim and Greg discuss the best strategies for conservatives to attack the Harris campaign, the DOJ finally forking over transcripts from the Bide classified documents probe, and the latest Secret Service embarrassment.

First, they praise Pennsylvania U.S Senate hopeful David McCormick's attack ad that ties his opponent, incumbent Democrat Bob Casey, to Kamala Harris and her radical positions on energy, immigration, health insurance, and much more. Jim analyzes the pros and cons that the Harris campaign has to work with, and formulates a plan of attack for conservatives.
Next, they sigh at the Justice Department suddenly releasing transcripts from President Biden's interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur after Biden has stepped down from the presidential race. Jim mocks them for their reasoning behind noncompliance with FOIA requests before Biden dropped out.

Finally, they react to the news that the U.S. Secret Service is requesting that Donald Trump not hold outdoor rallies anymore because of the danger they pose. Jim suggests Trump probably ought to agree just to be on the safe side. But he is far more disheartened that the Secret Service is admitting that it is not competent enough to keep Trump safe at such rallies.

Today, Jim and Greg discuss Kim Cheatle's resignation as director of U.S. Secret Service, the swift ascendance of Kamala Harris as the Democrats' nominee, and Biden & Harris can't be bothered to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on his visit to the U.S.

First, they toast a good martini to Cheatle's resignation after a disastrous performance before the House Oversight and Accountability Committee. Jim sees some clear parallels between her resignation and President Biden stepping down from his campaign.

Next, they observe how Vice President Harris successfully cleared the field to be the next presidential nominee, securing the endorsement of top Democrats and a majority of DNC delegates. Greg points out the irony in how quickly the party of "defending democracy" was to shut down any chance of a robust primary.

Finally, they talk about Prime Minister Netanyahu's visit to the United State and how neither Biden nor Harris seem to have any time for him. Jim points out the impropriety of this and says it only adds to questions about who is running the country right now.

Today, Jim and Greg discuss President Biden bowing out of the presidential race, his endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris, and Republican reactions to the news.

First, they dive into the biggest news of the weekend: Biden is dropping out of the 2024 presidential race. Jim raises his eyebrows at the troubling fact that Biden has not made any public appearances since the news came out, and wonders what kind of state the president is in. They also explain how Biden's decline was obvious for a long time, and Democrats only dumped him because they were finally convinced he would lose.

Next, they mull over the political future of Vice President Harris, whom Biden and many other prominent Democrats have now endorsed, with a few notable holdouts. Jim thinks that her future is much more secure as a running mate, and that if she loses, her political career is as good as over.

Finally, they go over the multitude of responses to the news from Republicans, from jabs that Kamala will be easier to beat to calls for Biden to step down immediately. Jim emphasizes the need for Biden to resign, and cautions against assuming Kamala will be easy to beat.

Today, Jim and Greg discuss the two speeches within Donald Trump's RNC address, reports that President Joe Biden plans to continue with his campaign while other Democrats plant stories that he is quitting, and the shocking number of Democrats buying into conspiracy theories about the attempted assassination of Trump.

First, they analyze the very different parts of Trump's speech last night. They agree that the beginning of the speech, discussing the assassination attempt and honoring Corey Comperatore, was the strongest part. They also suggest that the rally-style improvisation made the speech too long. And while it probably didn't cost him any votes, a tighter speech may have appealed to more people. They agree that it seemed to be a successful convention and that every Gen X kid loved Hulk Hogan's appearance.

Next, they compare conflicting reports about the likelihood that Biden will discontinue his re-election campaign, with sources close to the president reporting that they are "furious" about the pressure campaign that has been launched against him. Jim thinks that the liberal media is essentially dreamcasting, and that Biden will not step down if those closest to him want him to stay in office.

Finally, they raise their eyebrows at the startling one-third of Democrats who believe that the attempted assassination of Trump was a hoax. Jim observes that you have to have an animal hatred of Trump for your first instinct at the shooting to be contemptuous disbelief.

Inez Stepman of the Independent Women's Forum and host of the "High Noon" podcast is in for Jim. Today, Inez and Greg discuss J. D. Vance's RNC speech last night, the latest from a steadily collapsing Biden campaign, and Joy Reid's latest unhinged take on Donald Trump and President Biden.

First, they highlight the most salient points from Vance's speech. While Jim explained in the Morning Jolt why he did not like the speech because of how it represents an unfortunate shift in the Republican party and Greg has been bothered by heavy union embrace at the RNC, Inez contends that we are living in different times, and Vance's vision is a necessary one for the country's future.

Next, they pull out the popcorn as high profile Democrats like Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer shove Biden harder towards ending his re-election bid. His recent gaffes, forgetting the names of President Herbert Hoover and his own Defense Secretary, Lloyd Austin, as well as his recent contraction of Covid-19, are certainly not helping his case.

Finally, they rip Joy Reid's attempt to compare Joe Biden's (hopeful) recovery from Covid to Trump recovering from getting shot. Inez quips that Democrats are just "huffing copium" at this point, because Trump obviously has all the luck on his side and has a knack for making the most of key moments.

Today, Jim and Greg discuss the most compelling and important moments from the Republican National Convention Tuesday evening, President Biden's pandering to the hard left, and U.S. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle's unsatisfying interview about the assassination attempt against Donald Trump.

First, they review convention speeches from former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, as Haley sought to unite the party and DeSantis took a blowtorch to Biden and his record. They also highlight Madeline Brame's impassioned speech soft-on-crime policies of Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg and other far left prosecutors. Jim believes that Nikki Haley's speech may turn out to be the most impactful in the coming election in moving the needle for Trump skeptics.

Next, they shake their heads as Biden scrambles to save his campaign by appealing to hardline progressives with promises of federal rent control in a gaffe-filled speech. Jim is bewildered at why Democrats are pushing so hard to make him the nominee, seemingly terrified of a delegate fight this late in the election cycle.

Finally, they put the spotlight on an interview that Director Cheatle did with ABC News, which raised more questions than it answered about how the shooter gained access to the roof of a building just 400 feet from Trump. They hope to see investigations and hearings that hold the Secret Service to greater accountability, but are resigned to the fact that Cheatle will not be stepping down and probably won't be fired.

Today, Jim and Greg discuss Donald Trump's selection of Ohio Senator J.D Vance as his running mate. They also talk about DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas's dubious statement of confidence in the U.S. Secret Service director, and President Biden's very weak interview with NBC's Lester Holt.

First, they open with a conversation about Trump's choice of Sen. Vance as his running mate. They weigh the pros and cons that might come with this decision and touch on other notable aspects of the Republican National Convention.

Next, they raise their eyebrows as Sec. Mayorkas claims that he has 100% confidence in Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle, despite the agency's failure to stop the would-be Trump assassin from shooting. Greg recalls one of Trump's noteworthy lines from the debate: what does it take, in this administration, to get fired?

Finally, they review Biden's NBC interview, in which he makes no effort to walk back the incendiary rhetoric he has used against Trump, and once again showcases his mental decline. They close with the breaking news that New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez has been convicted on all counts, and Jim looks forward to the next corrupt Democrat who will take his place.

Today, Jim and Greg do wall-to-wall coverage of Saturday's attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump. They discuss the miracle of Trump's survival, the suspicious details coming out about how the Secret Servicefailed to stop the shooter before he fired, and a mainstream media that will always find a way to attack Trump, even as he recovers from an attempt on his life.

First, they take a few moments to express gratitude for Trump's survival. Jim points out that mere microseconds made the difference between what could have been one of the darkest moments in our nation's history, and the survival of our former president.

Next, they point to the very obvious need to beef up the quality of the Secret Service, which failed to secure an obvious security concern with a clear line of sight to Trump. Officers also did not respond to the threat of the gunman climbing onto the roof until he began firing. Jim recalls many instances of lax, unprofessional behavior on the part of the Secret Service in the past, and hopes that this near-disaster will lead to a serious investigation of the agency.

Finally, they facepalm at how the media handled coverage of the shooting, starting with their hesitancy to call the shooting a shooting even though video footage made that clear. They also slam prominent reporters for criticizing Trump's initial reaction to being shot and his perfectly normal statement a short time later. And Jim and Greg discuss Morning Joe being pre-empted this morning, reportedly because NBC wanted to avoid any of the guests making an inappropriate comment.

Today, Jim and Greg discuss President Biden's press conference last night and how Democrats are still twisting in the wind. They also highlight Biden's embarrassing verbal fumbles. And they weigh in on the news that former stripper and Kanye West girlfriend Amber Rose will speak at the Republican National Convention.

They begin with an overview of the press conference. Jim notes that while it was not bad by Biden standards, that still does not make it remotely good.

Next, they highlight some of Biden's worst gaffes from the conference, including referring to President Zelensky as President Putin and to VP Kamala Harris as "Vice President Trump." Greg notes Biden's horribly revionist view of the economy and his ongoing demonization if Israel. Jim says Dems should be shuddering over Biden's statement that he would refuse to step down even if the polls hypothetically showed that Kamala Harris was more likely to beat Trump than him.

Finally, they lament the Republican National Convention's unfortunate speaker choice of Amber Rose, an ex-stripper who dated Kanye West and has several other tawdry items on her resume. Jim wonders whose idea it was to pick Rose, observing that this decision makes the RNC seem desperate for anyone remotely famous.

Today, Jim and Greg discuss an attack ad that exposes Pennsylvania Sen. Bob Casey using his politics to help his siblings get rich, the news that former President Obama greenlit George Clooney's New York Times op-ed calling for President Biden to step down from the race, and Bill Kristol's ridiculous claim that Biden's old age is the only thing working against Democrats in this election.

First, they applaud the Republican attack ad that takes Sen. Casey to task for using his position to enrich his family. They analyze the effect that this ad may have in the upcoming senate race, especially given that the ad ties Casey's actions to the Hunter Biden scandal, which is still a recent memory.

Next, they shake their heads at what appears to be Obama's attempts to publicly support Joe Biden but privately sabotage his campaign, greenlighting George Clooney to call for Bide to step aside from the presidential race. Jim thinks that if Obama believes Biden is not fit to be president, then he should tell Biden himself instead of making underhanded moves to hint that Biden should step down.

Finally, they dissect Bill Kristol's recent tweet that the Democratic party and its policies are basically sound, and that Biden's old age is the only thing holding them back. Jim and Greg point to the terrible results on the border, economics, and foreign policy that we have seen from this presidency, and wonder what backwards logic led Kristol to his conclusion.

Today, Jim and Greg discuss the implications of U.S. Marshals protecting Supreme Court Justice Sotomayor shooting a a would-be carjacker, the latest Democrat voices to turn on President Biden, and the curtain call of the Gaza pier disaster.

First, they react to the news that the U.S. Marshals protecting Justice Sotomayor shot a man that pulled a gun on them and was likely attempting a carjacking. Jim wishes he could ask Justice Sotomayor if this incident changes her mind on the importance of second amendment rights.

Next, they dissect Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet's public statements on CNN that Biden cannot win the upcoming election, as well as George Clooney's report that Biden was just as fragile behind closed doors at a recent Hollywood fundraiser as he was on the debate stage. Jim is very concerned about what this means for the next six months that Biden is in office, unless the 25th Amendment is invoked.

Finally, they roll their eyes as the ridiculous Gaza pier saga finally comes to an end. Reports suggest it will likely soon be closed down because of how badly beaten up it has been by the weather. Jim points out that this project to send aid to Gaza was a failure in every sense.

Greg is back today. Join Jim and Greg as they discuss the growing discussion surrounding President Biden's neurological health, the supremely unimpressive Republican Party platform, and Biden's press team treating him like a tiny child.

First, they analyze the assessment of Dr. Tom Pitts, the board-certified neurologist who appeared on NBC News to share his belief that Biden clearly shows the symptoms of Parkinson'ss. Jim says this is a good martini not because of Biden's deteriorating health, but because the mainstream media have finally been forced to talk about it.

Next, they tear into a painfully inadequate and "depressingly unserious" Republican party platform. There are some strong policies but from the poor writing to the glaring lack of specifics on spending and other issues, the platform is stunningly unimpressive. They are especially disappointed with how the platform surrenders on abortion.

Finally, they have a good laugh at the way Press Sec. Karine Jean-Pierre and NSC Spokesman John Kirby are handling damage control for the president as they describe Biden's upcoming "big boy" press conference. They remark on how the president is clearly being infantilized by everyone surrounding him, and Jim laments that the nation is being run by Edith Wilsons.

Chad Benson, of the Chad Benson show, is in for Greg today. Join Jim and Chad as they discuss the dumpster fire that President Biden's campaign has become, from his shaky interview with George Stephanopoulos, to reports that his staffers manage every detail of his presidency, to the difficult situation that Democrats find themselves in when it comes to potentially replacing Biden.

First, they kick things off with a double-fisted good martini as Biden's planned post-debate comeback flops immediately. His latest media appearances, especially the interview with Stephanopoulos and his call-in comments on Morning Joe, in which he did not even appear on video and was apparently reading from a script, confirm that his debate performance was not a fluke, and he is not, in fact, in the position to make successful public appearances.

Next, they examine the troubling reports coming out from various sources that Biden is so closely managed by his staffers that he has no independence. If this is true, Jim says, then Biden is no longer truly the president: he is only a man waving and pretending to be president while others make the decisions.

Finally, they chuckle at Biden's claim that he should be the presidential candidate because he won the primary, and they point out that the primary was skewed in Biden's favor to begin with. They also weigh the possibility of Democrats invoking the 25th amendment to oust Biden.

Back in April, we brought you a full episode describing Jim's reflections following his second trip to Ukraine for two weeks in March. Here again are his descriptions about the reality of where the war stands, how complicated relationships can be in this conflict, and his visit to a truly fascinating drone factory.

First, Jim explains why he wanted to go back to Ukraine a little more than six months after his visit last summer. He also updates the war effort, the relentless Russian "meat waves," the impact of U.S. aid being on hold, and what conditions for an end to the war might be under consideration. They also discuss Ukraine's policy of not holding elections while under martial law. Would it be better to demonstrate a commitment to democracy regardless of the circumstances or is it simply impossible to hold elections under the current circumstances?

Next, Jim recounts his meeting with Ilya Ponomarev, a former member of the Russian Duma who is now working with Ukraine against the Russians. His tactics are certainly fodder for debate but Jim explains why what Ponomarev is doing is quite courageous.

Finally, Jim describes his visit to a secret drone factory somewhere in Ukraine and shares as much as he can about the innovations happening to assist the war effort and the people working there. Jim may be the first western journalist to visit the plant.

Today, Jim and Greg kick off the Fourth of July by each sharing three things that they are grateful for in the American experience.

First, Jim is thankful for how accessible a wide variety of good food is in the United States. Greg expands on this, pointing out that if someone is able to do something well or produce a good product in the United States, they can succeed.

Next, Jim appreciates state parks, and how easily we have access to the great outdoors. Greg discusses how there is fascinating history to learn in all different corners of the country.

Finally, they reflect more on our history. Jim observes how bestseller selections at bookstores usually include historical fiction or nonfiction, and how Americans are passionate about their history. Greg feels indebted to our founding fathers and their wisdom expressed in the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence - including how our precious rights are from God and not from government.

Have a safe and Happy 4th!

Chad Benson, of the Chad Benson show, is in for Greg today.

The White House says it is absolutely false reporting from The New York Times that President Biden has told a key ally that he knows he may not be able to salvage his candidacy if he cannot convince the public in the coming days that he is up for the job after a disastrous debate performance last week.

Data from OpenLabs, reported by Puck News, indicates that if the election were held today, the 81-year-old Biden would not only lose all seven of the swing states thought to hold the key to the White House in 2024 — Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin — but also states he won convincingly four years ago.

One White House reporter blames the media for not spending even more time than they have discussing President Biden's age.

Chad Benson, of the Chad Benson show, is in for Greg today. Join Jim and Chad as they discuss three of today's crazy stories about the horror show of President Biden's failing mental acuity, how his staff are scared to give Biden bad news in his daily briefing, and the mainstream media's shock on how they missed America's biggest story of a president unable to function at the necessary level.

First, they dissect Carl Bernstein's revelation that many people close to the president could confirm that Biden's showing on the debate stage was not a one-off occurence, and his mental state is, in fact, often shaky. Jim wonders why these figures close to the president waited until now to come forward and inform Americans that their president is not able to keep up with the demands of his office.

Next, they delve into a troubling Politico article that details how Biden's staff are scared to give him bad news in his daily briefings, as it sets him off and makes him very difficult to deal with. They point out that while no one likes to receive bad news, it is crucial for the president to get the whole picture in his briefings, and it is very worrisome that Biden is not getting the whole story.

Finally, they roll their eyes at the mainstream media, which is shocked that they never realized the extent of Biden's mental decline. Jim and Chad point out that the mainstream media never saw the reality right in front of them because they simply did not want to see it.

Chad Benson, of the Chad Benson show, is in for Greg today. Join Jim and Chad as they discuss the Biden campaign's dubious plan to attack those concerned about the president's senility, the Supreme Court's reasonable ruling on presidential immunity, and the Vogue article that unmasks Jill Biden's true intentions.

First, they toast a martini in front of the cozy dumpster fire blaze that is the post-debate Biden campaign. They note that no one can hide the truth about Biden's mental state any longer, but that the campaign has no choice but to deny a reality that we all have seen as their main strategy.

Next, they delve into the Supreme Court's ruling on presidential immunity, which found that the activities a president performs as part of his office are covered by immunity, but that criminal activity outside of that is not protected. Jim points out that you must give the president a wide leeway to perform his duties, so this ruling should make sense no matter which side of the aisle you are on.

Finally, they pull back the curtain on what is likely the main force that is pushing Biden back into the presidential race: Jill Biden. They react to the Vogue article that fully displays Jill Biden's love of the power and glamour that comes with being the first lady.

Greg and Jim dissect the good, the bad, and the crazy of last night's debate.

First, they celebrate the vindication of everyone who has been calling out President Biden's inadequate mental state.They take shots at all the media and White House figures who were championing Joe Biden's mental acuity, most notably Joe Scarborough and Chris Cillizza.

Next, they worry about the message that Biden's display of senility sent to nations that are hostile to the U.S. They weigh the possibility of invoking the twenty-fifth amendment to remove Biden from office for his physical and mental decline.

Finally, they examine other aspects of the debate, such as the fairness of the moderators and the usefulness of holding the debate without an audience. They also review the golfing interlude in the debate, lamenting how presidential discourse has declined to the level of Statler and Waldorf.

Today, Jim rejoins Greg, and has a wild moose story to tell from his trip to Alaska. Then they discuss the latest updates indicating that Gaza is not in danger of starvation, Rep. Jamaal Bowman's ridiculous reasoning for why he lost his primary, and their predictions about the tonight's presidential debate.

First, they are pleased to see a revised report confirming that Gaza is not under threat of starvation. They hope this is a lesson to news agencies not to take Palestinian reports about damage to their civilians at face value, since they have been known to wildly exaggerate such reports.

Next, they facepalm as Rep. Jamaal Bowman blames dark money super PACs for his defeat, accusing them of trying to "brainwash" voters. Jim jabs that Bowman is the dumbest member of the squad, and set himself up for a failure of this magnitude.

Finally, they offer up their predictions for the presidential debate tonight, weighing the different factors that play in the favor of each candidate. Jim speculates that the debate has been overhyped, and that, barring a dramatic turn of events, it will not move the needle for voters very much.

Today, Undisputed King of Stuff and Discourse Magazine & Arizona Republic contributor Jon Gabriel is in for Jim today. Jon and Greg discuss the mighty fall of New York Rep. Jamaal Bowman, the Supreme Court's decision in favor of the Biden administration on social media censorship, and Wisconsin Sen. Tammy Baldwin's bizarre attack ad on challenger Eric Hovde.

First, they applaud the voters of New York's 16th congressional district for their round rejection of Rep. Jamaal Bowman's re-election bid, as he lost by a gaping 17-point margin. They remark that it is delicious to see Bowman get his just desserts for his childish fire alarm stunt and, more importantly, for his vile anti-Semitic rhetoric.

Next, they lament the Supreme Court's disappointing decision on Murthy v. Missouri, which challenged the federal government's role in social media censorship. The court decided in favor of the Biden administration, ruling that the plaintiffs did not have sufficient standing.

Finally, they attempt to make sense of Wisconsin Sen. Tammy Baldwin's illogical attack ad on likely GOP opponent Eric Hovde because of his support for higher insurance rates when one is obese. Jon and Greg point out that everyone with significant health risks faces higher insurance premiums, and there is no logical reason to make obesity an exception.

Former Chief Assistant U.S. Attorney and National Review Contributing Editor Andy McCarthy is in for Jim. Join Andy and Greg as they discuss the Supreme Court's latest Second Amendment ruling, the final chapter of the Julian Assange legal saga, and President Biden's latest fatuous message to the American public.

First, they dissect the Supreme Court's 8-1 ruling that the state can bar people with domestic violence restraining orders against them from owning a gun. Andy is pleased to see the courts grappling with how to apply clear Constitutional precedents to the modern world.

Next, they dive into Julian Assange's upcoming plea bargain on criminal information charges. Andy and Greg agree that Assange is no hero, but Andy also points out that Assange was never charged for the dissemination of allegedly hacked DNC emails in 2016 - largely because it could never be proved how those emails were obtained. And those facts further put the lie to Russian collusion allegations.

Finally, they roll their eyes at President Biden's ridiculous appeal to the American public, as he says that we know who Donald Trump is, and must now decide who we are. They point out that Biden is running a campaign on January 6 and abortion, due to the utter failure of his administration.

Former Chief Assistant U.S. Attorney and National Review Contributing Editor Andy McCarthy is in for Jim. Join Andy and Greg as they discuss the constitutional problem with attorney Jack Smith's appointment to be special counsel on the Trump cases, the dangers in the U.S. and beyond stemming from radical interpretations of sharia law, and Donald Trump's crazy proposal to grant green cards to all foreign graduates of U.S. colleges.

First, Andy walks through the legal and political problems surrounding ack Smith's appointment to special counsel in the Trump cases concerning classified documents and January 6. Such appointments must either be made by the president or permitted by statute, neither of which is the case in this instance. Andy also points to the inconsistency in Smith's claim that he is closely supervised by Attorney General Merrick Garland and AG Garland's claim that he does not interfere with Smith's activities.

Next, they walk through the perils that radical proponents of Sharia law pose to the western world, from virulent anti-Semitism to the Taliban pushing to keep Afghan women off of the UN council on Afghanistan. Andy hammers home that radical sharia law is antithetical to Western values and to democracy, and that we must recognize this reality, not gloss over it.

Finally, they raise their eyebrows at Donald Trump's radical proposal to grant green cards to all foreign college graduates. Andy and Greg emphasize the importance of dealing with the border crisis before making plans to grant foreign nationals a right to remain in the country.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour Host Scot Bertram is in for Jim. Join Scot and Greg as they discuss Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg's dropping charges against most of the Columbia students arrested to taking over a campus building, the latest delusional narratives from anti-school choice leftists, and Good Morning America's bizarre campaign against paper towels.

There are no good martinis today, so Scot and Greg start by tearing into Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg for giving the Columbia students who occupied a building (and held a custodian hostage) a free pass on the grounds that the university would handle their discipline internally and that there somehow wasn't sufficient evidence to charge them. They point out the glaring double standard in how Bragg treats individuals who line up with his political preferences.

They next raise a double-fisted bad martini to the unhinged anti-school choice rhetoric that leftists are pushing, starting with Chicago Teachers Union President Stacy Gates claiming that conservatives want black children to stay illiterate. They then delve into Scientific American's push for greater federal regulation of homeschooling, specifically parents, and why it makes no sense.

Finally, they puzzle over "Good Morning America's" stunning and brave stand against paper towels as it offers various (ineffective) alternatives to viewers. Scot notes that the point of these useless alternatives is really to feel better about yourself, not to get anything done.

UnHerd DC Correspondent and Breaking Points co-host Emily Jashinsky is in for Jim. Today, Emily and Greg discuss former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's brilliant defense of school choice, the Justice Department' persecution of Dr. Eithan Haim for blowing the whistle on sex-change surgeries happening on minors in Texas Children's Hospital, and the sky-high national deficit that continues to mount.

First, they applaud Condoleezza Rice's incisive criticism of the left's hypocrisy when it opposes school choice. Rice aptly observes that elites who oppose school choice often send their own children to expensive public schools.

Next, they examine the chilling reality that Dr. Eithan Haim exposed at Texas Children's Hospital: minors are being given sex-change surgeries, though the hospital previously claimed that this was not happening. Emily and Greg tear into the DOJ's obvious political targeting of Dr. Haim, alleging HIPAA violations though Dr. Haim took every care not to reveal the identity of patients.

Finally, they toast a double-fisted crazy martini to the $24 trillion deficit that the government will run over the next decade, thanks to out-of-control and ineffective spending. They also consider the steep interest payments on the debt that taxpayers will face in the coming years.

Former Chief Assistant U.S. Attorney and National Review Contributing Editor Andy McCarthy is in for Jim. Join Andy and Greg as they discuss Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley sounding the alarm as both parties seem ready to pass a bill that would subject women to military drafts, the increasingly worrisome alliance between Russia and North Korea, and Press Sec. Karine Jean-Pierre's almighty struggle to explain away President Biden's gaffes.

First, they delve into Sen. Hawley excoriating a bipartisan bill that has passed the House of Representatives that would require women to register for Selective Service. They agree with Hawley's criticism of the bill and that our daughters should not be forced into combat. However, Andy unloads on Hawley for suggesting Republicans are backing the idea so they have enough people to fight "endless wars."

Next, they explore the implications of the recent pledge between Russia and North Korea to defend one another if either is attacked. Andy thinks that pledges between such unreliable actors are flimsy at best, but that does not negate the potential evils that may come of this agreement.

Finally, they roll their eyes at White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre's lackluster excuses for former President Obama having to guide President Biden offstage at a campaign event. Andy observes that events like these can be given the benefit of the doubt if they are one-time occurrences, but Biden's gaffes happen too often to be written off.

As a bonus, Andy weighs in on his expectations for upcoming Supreme Court decisions.

Today, Greg interviews Jim about his soon-to-be-released thriller, "Dueling Six Demons," the latest in his Dangerous Clique series.

First, Jim talks about the role of setting in his thrillers, and how, over the past year, his writing has become increasingly more tied to his personal experiences in locations like Ukraine and Taiwan.

Next, Jim discusses how he creates his characters, almost all of whom draw inspiration from real figures in Jim's life. Jim also talks about the nature of a story's ending, and how it must either be an earned happy ending or a complex, imperfect ending.

Finally, Greg asks Jim about the growing mood of cynicism in the series, and whether or not that reflects Jim's personal views. Jim also speaks about the tension between creating a world that feels lived-in and believable, while also avoiding the injection of political commentary into the story.

Today, Former Chief Assistant U.S. Attorney and National Review Contributing Editor Andy McCarthy is in for Jim. Today, Andy and Greg discuss the Philadelphia barista union that led to the closure of their own coffee shops, the latest unconstitutional executive order that President Biden is planning on immigration, and CNN's fear mongering over using the word "republic" rather than "democracy" to describe the United States.

First, they roll their eyes at a newly minted union of baristas in Philadelphia that got their own store closed down, losing all their jobs. Andy offers them a reminder: you cannot repeal the laws of economics, and the minimum wage is always ultimately $0.

Next, they tear into the executive order that President Biden reportedly plans to sign which would allow illegal immigrants to obtain work permits if they have been here at least 10 years and are married to U.S. citizens. Andy points out Biden's double standard in blaming Congress for his inability to deal with the border crisis and then turning around to issue an executive order that unconstitutionally supersedes the authority of Congress.

Finally, they facepalm as CNN tries to paint the use of "republic" by conservatives as an attack on democracy. Andy discusses the importance of a republic, which safeguards liberty by limiting the power of institutions and placing necessary checks on the will of the majority.

Inez Stepman of the Independent Women's Forum and host of the "High Noon" podcast is in for Jim. Today, Inez and Greg discuss the Supreme Court's reversal of the ban on bump stocks, the alarming speculation that the Biden administration is seriously considering a post-war U.S. intervention in Gaza, and some nauseating decisions made by two Biden judicial nominees which protected criminal pedophiles.

First, they applaud the Supreme Court for overturning the ban on bump stocks, ruling that they do not transform semi-automatic weapons into automatic weapons. They also touch on Merrick Garland being held in contempt of Congress for refusing to release the unedited Biden-Hur recording, and whether or not this action on the House's part will lead to the eventual release of the recording.

Next, they raise their eyebrows at the Biden administration's apparent consideration of U.S involvement in post-war Gaza. Inez and Greg point out that placing our soldiers in this hotbed of terrorism severely risks exposing them to attack.

Finally, they delve into the sordid rulings of two of President Biden's judicial nominees, one of whom, Julia Lipez, suspended the prison sentence of a predator who sexually assaulted two girls, saying she "saw good in him." The other, Sarah Netburn, infamously recommended the transfer of a male child rapist to a women's prison facility after the perpetrator claimed to identify as a woman.

Inez Stepman of the Independent Women's Forum and host of the "High Noon" podcast is in for Jim. Today, Inez and Greg welcome a federal judge strongly rejecting the Biden administration's rewrite of Title IX, wonder if Republicans will be able to punch back effectively on abortion anytime soon, and laugh as the left says election results they don't like are a threat to democracy.

First, they applaud the federal court ruling that the Biden administration's efforts to redefine "sex" in Title IX to enshrine the left's gender identity agenda and evisceration of due process rights clearly guts the intent of Title IX and also violates the constitutional requirement for such changes to come through Congress.

They also note Thursday's Supreme Court decision dodging the merits of the case on the FDA and abortifacients and consider whether Republicans are ever going to get out of the political starting blocks on this issue nearly two years after the Dobbs decision. Inez says Americans are suddenly having to exercise political muscles that had atrophied since Roe v. Wade and Republicans were caught flat-footed by their own victory.

Finally, they shake their heads as leftists in Europe and the U.S. try to argue that victories by "far right" parties in Europe are a "threat to democracy," noting how the left now casually labels any result of policy they don't like as imperiling democracy.

Inez Stepman of the Independent Women's Forum and host of the "High Noon" podcast is in for Jim today. Inez and Greg discuss the chilling revelation of how easily eight terrorism suspects entered the U.S. at our southern border, President Biden's obvious gaslighting over inflation, and MSNBC's claims that Hunter Biden's convictions are a major political setback for Donald Trump.

First, they shudder at multiple reports detailing how eight men from Tajikistan easily entered the U.S. at our southern border and were later allegedly caught conspiring to commit acts of terrorism. Inez discusses how the border has devolved into "security theater" and how there has been a big, troubling shift in where these people are coming from.

Next, they sigh as President Biden tries to spin a tiny decrease in year-over-year inflation as significant news and especially how he is trying to blame grocery stores for the high prices. It's complete fiction, but Inez warns critics not to underestimate the appeal Biden's fake blue collar messaging might still have with some voters.

Finally, they get a kick out MSNBC's Chuck Todd insisting that Hunter Biden was dealt with more harshly than other Americans facing the same charges because he is the president's son. And he asserts that the guilty verdict is further proof that there is no merit to Trump's argument that Biden's DOJ is waging lawfare against him.

Today, Jim and Greg open the discussion by toasting a martini to Hunter Biden's recent convictions, but then they have to contend with President Biden's complete failure to accomplish anything down at the border, as well as Rep. Ocasio-Cortez's apparent attempt at damage control for the rampant anti-Semitism among pro-Palestinian activists.

First, they celebrate Hunter Biden's guilty verdict on all counts, which only took the jury a few hours to decide. They go through the indisputable evidence of the the case and point out how this verdict makes clear that no one is above the law, no matter how much influence the Biden family has in Delaware.

Next, they tear into the implementation of Biden's executive order, which has more holes than Swiss cheese. In particular, they dissect a memo ordering Border Patrol agents in SanDiego to release illegal immigrants from all but six countries, showing how Biden's executive order has done nothing to change the entrenched catch-and-release policies that take the teeth out of border security.

Finally, they scratch their heads as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez claims that accusing "people of color" of anti-Semitism is racist. Jim wonders whether columnist and Twitter commentator Stephen Miller is right in speculating that AOC wishes she were an activist instead of a congresswoman.

Today, Jim and Greg discuss the wonderfully successful hostage rescue operation by the Israel Defense Forces, the unpunished criminal activity of pro-Palestinian protestors in front of the White House this weekend, and the disheartening phenomenon of young progressives pushing off having children until it's too late.

First, they celebrate the IDF's triumphant rescue of several hostages from Gaza. They criticize those whose first reaction to the news is to look for the negatives, and they examine the flaws in the Biden administration's naive plan to establish peace in the Arab world.

Next, they point out the inconsistencies in how left and right-leaning protestors are treated when they break the law. This weekend, pro-Palestinian protestors vandalized sculptures in Lafayette Square and threw projectiles at National Park Service employees along with the Secret Service, but none of the perpetrators have been arrested.

Finally, they discuss the disturbing trend of young progressives putting off or avoiding having children in greater and greater numbers. They point out the necessity of taking on responsibility and bringing forth the next generation, and how facing the challenges of parenthood is ultimately much more rewarding than eternal adolescence.

Today, Jim and Greg discuss Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin divorcing Virginia from California's EV standards, what the latest job report does and doesn't tell us about the state of the economy, and the sad, steady decline of the Star Wars franchise and Hollywood products in general.

First, they react to Gov. Youngkin's announcement that Virginia will no longer follow California's EV policies, jumping ship as California changes their regulations. They criticize the law that tied Virginia's policy to California's in the first place, and they celebrate this victory for consumer choice.

Next, they analyze the May jobs report, which boasts of 272,000 new jobs, though unemployment is now at four percent. Jim warns that, whatever the trends in job creation and unemployment may be, the real economic problem to watch out for is inflation.

Finally, they lament the deterioration in quality of the more recent Star Wars movies and series. They roll their eyes at the latest series being rolled out, Acolyte, whose stars promise that it will be "the gayest" Star Wars series yet.

Today, Jim and Greg toast three crazy martinis to our chaotic political landscape. They discuss the ridiculous theory Laurence Tribe is pushing, which states that Donald Trump's recent convictions means Hillary should have been the winner of the 2016 election; Hillary Clinton's embarrassing attempt to politicize D-Day; and the surprising party switch of Sen. Bob Menendez, which comes with an even bigger surprise behind it.

First, they delve into legendary Harvard law professor Laurence Tribe promulgating the idea that Donald Trump's felony convictions invalidate the results of the 2016 election, and his accompanying lament of all that could have been had Hillary Clinton ascended to the presidency instead. Jim gives Tribe credit for pushing the least plausible argument for doubting the results of the 2016 election, pointing out that, long before this recent conviction, voters were aware of Trump's long record of dubious moral behavior.

Next, they roll their eyes at Hillary Clinton's D-Day tweet, which compares those who vote to "save democracy" to the military heroes of 1944. They point out that voting in a free country is very obviously not the same as risking your life in battle, and they observe that Democrats only value democracy insofar as it gets them the election results they want.

Finally, they unpack New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez running as an independent, allegedly so that he can angle for a presidential pardon no matter who is president after the next election. Jim and Greg are a little dubious as to whether this plan will be successful.

Chip Roy's unrelenting takedown of Attorney General Merrick Garland's border security record, Biden's useless new executive order to limit border crossings, and Joe Scarborough's dubious assertion that Joe Biden is sharper than any House Speaker over the past 30 years.

First, they applaud Texas Rep. Chip Roy for taking Attorney General Merrick Garland to task for trying to excuse the egregious lack of enforcement at the border and pin the blame on a lack of funds. Jim says for Garland to blame the problem on a lack of funding is insulting.

Next, they explain why President Biden's executive order that supposedly tightens border security has no teeth because there are so many loopholes that nothing really changes.

Finally, Jim has little patience for MSNBC's Joe Scarborough trying to rebut a Wall Street Journal story about Biden's cognitive decline by claiming that Biden is mentally sharper than every Speaker of the House over the past 30 years.

Join Greg and Jim as they discuss Fauci's ugly bullying behind the vaccine mandates Covid mandates, Mexico’s recent election of another far-left leader and the potentially big implications for the U.S., and Biden’s claim that Israel’s war with Hamas is unnecessarily being prolonged to keep Netanyahu in power.

First, they unload for the second straight day on former NIH official Anthony Fauci, who was sold as a symbol of trust to the American people. They specifically target comments exposed during Monday's hearings in which Fauci is heard saying they needed to threaten people trying to get an education or a job (or keep one) that they had to get the COVID vaccination. Fauci further said when you apply that kind of pressure, people have no choice but to abandon their ideologies and beliefs.

Then, amid a swirl of breaking news, the Mexican presidential campaign and election went mostly unnoticed, until Claudia Sheinbaum was easily elected the new president. Sheinbaum, Mexico’s first female and Jewish president, ran on a platform of continuing former President Lopez Obrador’s policies and of expanding the government and consolidating power. The election, coming in conjunction with Biden’s proposed border control, could have big implications for the United States relations and trade with Mexico.

Finally, after supporting Israel for months, Biden turned tail and claimed that the prolonged war against Gaza is a power grab for Netanyahu and an attempt to occupy Gaza completely. Biden says that Hamas is no longer capable of carrying out another October 7th attack, and so, enough is enough. Biden claims that the war in Gaza is as bad as the American occupation in Iraq and Afghanistan and is unnecessary.

Join Jim and Greg as they have a lot to say about Hunter Biden finally facing federal charges, Dr. Anthony Fauci admitting some of the most repressive COVID restrictions were not based on science at all, and the Justice Department saying we can't hear the audio of President Biden's conversation with the special counsel because of concern over artificial intelligence "deepfakes."

First, they're glad that Hunter Biden is finally facing federal charges for lying about his drug use on federal forms when buying a gun years ago. They also pull no punches in response to the excuse that Biden's legal team offered for why Hunter should not be held responsible for lying about his drug use on the forms.

Next, they skewer Dr. Anthony Fauci after the former NIH head of allergies and infectious diseases admits to lawmakers that the six-foot social distancing rule and the decision to mandate the masking of kids was not based on science. And Fauci still disputes whether closing schools and extended online learning and mandatory masking stunted kids' educational progress.

Finally, they blast the Justice Department for the utterly stupid explanation that it cannot release the audio of President Biden's interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur over Biden's mishandling of classified documents. The DOJ insists that it must keep the audio under wraps because there is great concern that bad actors could create artificial intelligence "deepfakes" of Biden using the audio.

Jim is back just in time to discuss the fallout from Thursday's verdict, as a Manhattan jury convicted Donald Trump on all 34 counts of falsifying his campaign expenditures in 2016.

First, they dissect the many different ways this case was twisted to target Trump - from the creative dating on the statute of limitations, to the unprecedented contortions needed to turn it into a felony, to a judge who seemed partial throughout the trial to the basic fact that no one other than Trump would likely have faced these charges. And they note that a lot of legal experts who openly don't like Trump are highly critical of the case being brought and the way it was conducted.

Next, they assess the contention of many on the right that this case and this verdict are clear evidence that the left is openly using the justice system for political ends and that the rule of law itself is in danger of collapse. Jim offers a simple but powerful explanation of what justice should be and why we fell short of that standard in this case.

Finally, they conclude that the Biden team made the right call in sending the president out for an on-camera victory lap on Thursday. They suspect it might have something to do with the disastrous De Niro PR stunt this week - and because Trump may not be the only convicted felon in Biden's orbit within the next few weeks.

Today, Inez Stepman of the Independent Women's Forum and host of the "High Noon" podcast is in again for Jim. Join Greg and Inez as they discuss Justice Alito rejecting demands from Democrats to recuse himself on certain cases, a hilariously dumb attack from Rolling Stone designed to discredit Justice Barrett, plus Inez's latest observations from the Trump trial.

First, they are pleased, though not surprised, to hear that Justice Samuel Alito refuses to recuse himself from the Trump immunity case (or other possible January 6-related lawsuits), a request made by Senate Democrats on the absurd grounds that his wife flew an upside-down American flag outside their home after a dispute with the neighbors and the Appeal to Heaven flag outside of their beach home.

Next, they shake their heads as Rolling Stone tries to smear Justice Amy Coney Barrett simply due to her husband representing the parent company of Fox News in a defamation lawsuit. They explain why the left is trying to manufacture outrage against the right-leaning justices and they also make the obvious point that spouses of Supreme Court justices are still allowed to have jobs and still allowed to exercise free speech rights.

Finally, they weigh in on Donald Trump's hush money trial, in which jurors are not provided with written instructions from the judge. They also note the judge's guidance that jurors need to agree that at least one of the charges against Trump is valid to have a unanimous verdict - but they don't have to agree on which of those charges he's guilty of. Inez also laments the way in which the justice system has been politicized and weaponized, which this trial has made clear.

Inez Stepman of the Independent Women's Forum and host of the "High Noon" podcast is in for Jim. Join Greg and Inez as they discuss Harvard's new "Institutional Voice Working Group" report, Biden's attempts to explain away high oil prices with pre-election pandering, and the fast-approaching denouement of the Trump trial, along with all the implications associated with the verdict.

First, they raise their eyebrows at Harvard's professed commitment to upholding free speech and open inquiry. They point out that Harvard's Institutional Voice Working Group is only making such statements to appease both angry donors and radical students, and that they will, in all likelihood, proceed with anti-speech policies when it comes to conservative voices.

Next, they dissect President Biden's deceptive attempts to use Russia as the reason for high gas prices and to fashion a scapegoat out of oil companies and corporate greed. They also shake their heads at his inappropriate use of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to essentially pander to voters. And they shake their heads at the counterproductive impact California Democrats may inflict with their new law that's supposedly designed to prevent gas price gouging.

Finally, they wonder why the Biden-Harris campaign chose Robert DeNiro, of all people, to make a statement of endorsement outside of the Trump trial proceedings. They also consider the possible impacts, positive and negative, of the trial on Trump's popularity, as well as his chances of acquittal.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour Host Scot Bertram is in for Jim. Join Scot and Greg as they discuss Florida's rising enrollment numbers in public school alternatives, the disastrous situation on the Gaza pier, and Transportation Sec. Pete Buttigieg's lackluster explanation for the mere seven EV charging stations that took a $7.5 billion in taxpayer investment to produce.

First, they take time to appreciate the fruits of Florida's school choice policies, as more and more parents choose charter schools, private schools, or homeschooling for their children. They point out that this will force public schools to up their game in order to compete, as many Florida public schools face the threat of closure.

Next, they lament the collapse of the Gaza Pier. They also discuss how this policy always seemed doomed from the moment it was announced. Scot notes that there are still five Americans held hostage by Hamas, and they examine the failure of the Biden administration's foreign policy in the Middle East.

Finally, they laugh right alongside Margaret Brennan at Transportation Sec. Pete Buttigieg's verbose yet milquetoast response to her question about the $7.5 billion spent on the production of EV charging stations, an effort which has produced a grand total of seven charging stations across the country. They observe that consumers are not rushing to buy EV's, and that the government, along with automobile producers, will have to reckon with that.

Today, Greg and Jim dissect the positive trend of Republican voters registering in encouraging numbers in several key battleground states, the concerning impingement of Russia on the Estonian border, and a reality at the border that's so alarming that even illegal immigrants are concerned about it. Plus, some fun with outgoing New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu's unvarnished opinions of other governors.

First, they analyze the data showing that Republicans are registering voters in higher numbers in battleground states. They consider what the causes of this trend might be, pointing out how anti-establishment young voters might be rebelling against the left, which they see as the establishment.

Next, they raise their eyebrows at the news that Russia has moved buoys along the Narva River that distinguish its territory from Estonia. They wonder why the US has so far refrained from commenting on the situation, though Estonia and NATO seem to be on high alert at this encroachment.

Then they highlight the testimony of an illegal immigrant from Turkey, who expresses shock at the lack of security at the U.S. Border.

Finally, they wrap up the episode with a good laugh courtesy of Gov. Sununu, who does not mince words about the two governors that no one likes.

In this episode of the Three Martini Lunch, Greg and Jim have trouble separating the good, the bad, and the crazy from each martini as more details come out about John Kerry blocking the FBI from arresting terrorists, the NIH evading FOIA requests during the pandemic, and Hunter Biden lying under oath three separate times.

First, they slam former Secretary of State John Kerry for running interference for Iranian terrorists, as FBI whistleblowers have brought to light. They also note the positive aspects of having a Republican House which can investigate such shady dealings in the State Department.

Next, they are exasperated with the testimony of former NIH official Dr. David Morens, as he plays dumb about what it means to delete federal records and insists that his references to communicating with Dr. Anthony Fauci through "back channels" were intended as jokes. They observe that you know the situation is dire when even Democratic Rep. Kweisi Mfume takes Morens to task for his behavior during the testimony.

Finally, they find themselves not so shocked to learn that Hunter Biden has lied under oath three separate times about matters such as his communications with a Chinese Communist Party official and his involvement with procuring visas for foreign nationals. They wonder whether Hunter will face jail time for his refusal to cooperate with the subpoena, the way that former Trump advisor Peter Navarro did.

Greg and Jim dive into the latest conservative victories in the justice system, the Michigan GOP's latest trouble with accusations of fraudulent signatures, and the rise of college students' mulish insistence on not completing assigned reading.

First, they kick off the episode with a double fisted martini: woke Portland DA Mike Schmidt looks like he will be ousted from office for his soft-on-crime policies. Additionally, Georgia Supreme Court Justice Andrew Pinson successfully fended off the challenge of former Rep. John Barrow, who campaigned primarily on a pro-abortion platform.

Next, they sigh and shake their heads at the Michigan GOP, which never seems to learn its lesson, as candidates are coming under fire for allegedly committing ballot signature fraud once again. They examine the poor condition that much of state-level GOP management has fallen into, in Michigan and beyond, and why gathering petition signatures is one of the most basic parts of politics.

Finally, they find themselves bewildered by the latest trend among college students, who are constantly demanding that professors lower coursework expectations and workload. They point out the paradox that, while Ivy League schools are getting more and more selective, college students across the board are learning less and show poorer work ethic than past generations.

Greg and Jim have a lot to discuss as they unpack the stellar work that Trump's defense attorneys did as they cross-examined former Trump loyalist Michael Cohen, the disastrous looting of U.S. aid being sent to the Gaza strip, and the latest cringeworthy Biden gaffe.

First, they praise Donald Trump's lawyers for being on their A-game while handling Michael Cohen's cross-examination and examining the final witnesses. They observe that the prosecution's case has been badly damaged at this point, but that we still cannot be certain of what the final verdict will be.

Next, they criticize the U.N's poor handling of the transportation of relief supplies in Gaza, as looters are scrambling for the aid that the U.S. has sent over. They contemplate whether these looters might have an association with Hamas, and note that the officials who are transporting the aid must provide armed security if they hope to secure their supplies.

Finally, they roll their eyes as Biden puts his senility into full view once again, introducing an American hostage...who is still being held by Hamas. They speculate on whether the Democratic Party might swap Biden for another candidate before this year's election, depending on whether he can pull it together for the upcoming debate with Trump.

Greg is back on a busy news day, as he and Jim discuss the death of Iran's president, Biden's disgustingly divisive commencement speech, and the GOP latching on to a loser in the Arizona U.S Senate race.

First, they shed zero tears upon the death of radical Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and three other officials in a helicopter crash on Sunday. They document Raisi's murderous record and why his death is not worth mourning, but they also note that not much will change anytime soon for the Iranian people eager to be free.

Next, they hammer President Biden for his racially divisive demagoguery in his commencement address at Morehouse College in Georgia. They not only dissect the appalling lies in the speech but also what it tells us about how Biden and his advisers see the state of the 2024 campaign.

Finally, they groan as a new poll shows Democrat Ruben Gallego leading Republican Kari Lake by a wide margin in the Arizona Senate race. They see Lake as a surefire loser with way too much political baggage and urge GOP voters there to pick a nominee who would be far better at the job and would actually have a chance at winning in November.

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?

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."

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?

Join Jim and Greg as they sort out three more crazy martinis from the Middle East to political conventions to brain worms.

First, they're furious but not at all surprised by Hamas announcing it is no longer interested in negotiating the release of hostages outside of its offer to hand over dead ones if Israel permanently halts military action in Gaza. President Biden's actions have clearly emboldened the terrorists.

Next, they get a kick out of Democrats fearing their August convention in Chicago will fall victim to huge anti-Israel protests from far-left activists. It's a problem completely of the Dems' own making - not only for encouraging extremist thinking in colleges and beyond but also for picking the crime-ridden city of Chicago for the convention in the first place.

Finally, they discuss the revelation that Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. was diagnosed with a brain worm more than a decade ago and use that as a launching pad to explain why major presidential candidates should be required to release a lot of health information.

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome a much needed history lesson from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, President Biden providing cover for Hamas, and Biden offering a big fat le about inflation.

First, they applaud Gov. DeSantis for supporting the effective & sane campus protest policies at the University of Florida and also explaining to demonstrators that there never was a Palestinian state.

Then they hammer President Biden for turning his back on Israel, saying he will cut off more weapons for Israel if Israeli Defense Forces take the fight to Hamas in Rafah, and essentially doing everything he can to save Hamas.

Finally, they call out Biden again for telling CNN's Erin Burnett that the inflation rate was nine percent when he took office. It was actually 1.4 percent. Jim rips the president for concocting this fantasy world where he blatantly lies about reality and always tries to make himself out to be the hero.

It's an all-crazy day as Jim and Greg discuss the unhinged political intolerance of a former mainstream media reporter, professors withholding grades over the consequences for anti-Israel protests, & tortured language and logic at the Pentagon over our policy in Gaza.

First, they sigh as former NBC News and CNN reporter Michelle Kosinski goes on a Twitter rant about how she is "haunted" by a dinner she had with people she refers to as "closeted MAGAts." Why? Because some were Ivy League grads who didn't want to send their kids there and others disagreed with the left's climate change narrative.

Next, they rip the faculty members at the University of North Carolina who are threatening not to turn in end-of-semester grades for any of their students unless the school reverses the suspensions of 15 students for breaking the law during the anti-Israel demonstrations. The UNC provost recommends sanctions against any instructor who does not turn in grades on time. Which side will blink?

Finally, they unload on Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and the Biden administration for torturing language and logic, as Austin claims the 1,000 U.S. military personnel who will be constructing a pier on the Gaza coast will not be considered "boots on the ground."

Join Jim and Greg, who actually have a good martini today, along with an absurdly bad one, and some crazy double standards for Democrats.

First, they welcome thirteen federal judges warning Columbia University that they will no longer accept the school's students as law clerks after the trespassing protests that commandeered a building and university leaders allowed it all to happen. They do want to make sure that students who didn't break the law don't get punished for the crimes of others, but it is a warning to Columbia that if it wants to be taken seriously, the worst elements on campus cannot be calling the shots.

Next, they roll their eyes as Hamas agrees to a Middle East ceasefire that had never been on the table. Jim labels the plan an unacceptable counterproposal and explains why. He also blasts much of the mainstream media for proclaiming that Hamas had agreed to the deal and putting the pressure on Israel to consent to it.

Finally, they note racial rhetoric from two Democrats that got some pushback but would have likely meant the end of any Republican's political career. The latest comes from New York Gov. Kathy Hochul who claimed that kids on the Bronx don't even know the word "computer." They also note Maryland Rep. David Trone, who is also running for U.S. Senate, using a racial slur during a committee hearing back in March. Trone says he uttered the wrong word, and it's likely that he did, but we all know the political volcano that would have ensued if a GOP lawmaker had said it.

There are no good martinis to start the week but Jim and Greg have plenty to discuss about President Biden playing hardball with Israel over ammunition, a seemingly sane House Democrat getting indicted on bribery charges, and South Dakota Gov. just making things worse as she tries to promote her new book.

First, they fume over reports that Biden has paused the delivery of some U.S.-made ammunition to Israel, with no explanation from the White House or anyone else. Is this designed to discourage Israel from going into Rafah to eradicate Hamas? Whatever the reason, an explanation is warranted.

Then, they discuss the indictments aimed at Texas Rep. Henry Cuellar and his wife Imelda over them allegedly accepting $600,000 in bribes from an energy firm connected with the Azerbaijan government. If it's true, Cuellar obviously ought to be prosecuted. But are Democrats also eager to oust the Democrat most likely to make common cause with Republicans on the border and other issues?

Finally, they have multiple observations about South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem's failed attempts to stop the political bleeding over revelations in her new book. From dog killing to whether she ever met with North Korean dictators Kim Jon Un, the answers on "Face the Nation" Sunday were less than impressive - and further proof she won't be and shouldn't be nominated for vice president.

Jim and Greg finish a very long and busy week by mulling over the four names reported to be on Trump's VP short list, some concerning signs in the April jobs report, and President Biden taking a page from Barack Obama's guide to political pandering.

First, they consider the pros and cons of the four figures reported to be under serious consideration to be Donald Trump's running mate. What benefits do North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, and Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance potentially bring to the ticket and what are their liabilities?

Next, they size up the April jobs report - which showed positive job growth but not as much as expected. Plus, they highlight the massive number of Americans who have stopped looking for work and dropped out of the labor force.

Finally, they discuss President Biden's election year ploy to add DACA recipients (people who were brought to the U.S. illegally by their parents) to Obamacare. And guess who gets to pay for those health care bills?

View Details

Join Jim and Greg as they discuss more campus crackdowns, how the left really offers little besides destruction, President Biden condemning illegal protests only after they've finally been dealt with, and whether Trump and other Republicans might actually have a shot at winning in Nevada this year.

First, they welcome California authorities ending the trespassing protests at UCLA and they also get a kick out of these agitators demonizing the University of California system as being a product of colonialism. They also notice that these "encampments" are all coming down around the same time. Coincidence?

Next, they largely agree with President Biden's comments on Thursday defending the right to protest peacefully but denouncing demonstrators who trespass, vandalize, and threaten other people. But where was this a week or two ago? Why does the statement only come now as the protests end?

Finally, they dig into Nevada polling numbers and wonder whether Donald Trump can be the first GOP nominee to win the state in 20 years or whether the Silver State will prove to be fool's gold for Republicans yet again.

Join Jim and Greg as they cheer the end of the anti-Israel encampment at Columbia while relishing the leftist insanity on open display. Plus, Jim fumes over the federal government's persistent failures to help families determine financial aid for college, and President Biden considers accepting "refugees" from Gaza.

First, they cheer the NYPD for declaring the occupation of a Columbia University academic building to be a riot and arresting dozens of trespassing radicals. But they also get a lot of laughs out of the demonstrators' earlier, convoluted demands that the university provide or allow "humanitarian aid" - meaning food and water - as they illegally controlled the building.

Next, Jim sounds off as the U.S. Department of Education failed repeatedly to allow high school seniors to file their Free Application for Federal Student Aid forms in a timely manner and are now delaying critical financial aid information. The website was unusable for months after it was promised to be functioning and one major glitch was not fixed until yesterday. They also discuss how this is yet another area in which the federal government has no business being in charge and makes life much tougher for Americans.

Finally, they fume as President Biden reportedly considers allowing refugees from Gaza to enter the United States, even though no Middle East country is willing to take in these people and the vast majority of people in Gaza hate the United States.

Join Jim and Greg today we they cheer Jerry Seinfeld for correctly accusing the woke left of killing comedy as we knew it for generations, hammer the administrators at Columbia University for continuing to let the inmates run the asylum, and cringing as Drew Barrymore (and way too many other Americans) see themselves as the children of our politicians.

First, they agree wholeheartedly with comedy legend Jerry Seinfeld's contention that the woke left's obsession with never being offended has effectively killed television comedies and many other forms of the art. And Jim adds that comedy is also a problem for the left because it helps people see their shared life experiences...and that's bad for a movement who is constantly seeking to divide us.

Next, they unload on the president and other administrators at Columbia University. After setting another deadline for the pro-Hamas, anti-Israel demonstrators to clear their encampment, there were no consequences when the protesters ignored it. Later, the campus radicals took over an academic building and administrators thus far doing nothing about it.

Finally, they groan as TV host Drew Barrymore tells Vice President Kamala Harris, "We need you to be Momala for the country."Jim and Greg explain why they think it is painfully wrong for Americans to think of themselves as the children of our political leaders, but they look back at a cringeworthy moment from a presidential campaign decades ago that provided momentum for this warped notion.

Join Jim and Greg today as they chronicle South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem murdering her chances to become Trump's running mate, why the FBI's claims of falling crime rates are seriously flawed, and the media praising President Biden for preserving a free press when his actions suggest exactly the opposite.

First, they dig into the four-day firestorm of criticism against South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, after it was revealed in her forthcoming autobiography that years ago she shot a 14-month-old dog when it failed as a hunting dog. They're also critical of Noem and hope this development takes her out of the running for the GOP vice presidential nomination since her previous personal and policy decisions already ought to disqualify her.

Next, they groan as the FBI fails to get an accurate picture of crime rates across the nation by forcing local police to enter data in such a cumbersome way that some big cities don't enter crime statistics at all. And even in the cities where authorities do submit crime numbers, the FBI is still reporting lower numbers than local officials are announcing. Bottom line: the left's narrative that crime is plummeting (allegedly to 50-year lows) is dead wrong.

Finally, they roll their eyes as NBC's Kelly O'Donnell lavishes praise on President Biden, saying his mere presence at the White House Correspondents Dinner is a strong defense of free speech and a free press. The Biden's administration's track record tells a very different story.

Join Jim and Greg as they dig into reports that White House officials tried and failed to remove one of President Biden's biggest liabilities. They also have plenty to say about America's perilously low fertility rates and USC deciding to punish its graduates out of fear of some radical students.

First, they pop the popcorn and discuss the New York Post report that de facto White House Communications Director Anita Dunn tried to get Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre to take a new job in order to hire someone much more talented than Jean-Pierre at the podium. But Jean-Pierre doesn't want to leave and the Biden team can't fire her.

They also shudder as the U.S. fertility rate drops to a record low of 1.62 births per woman. That is well below the rate of replacement and also spells big trouble for a government incapable of any spending restraint and that is in the midst of an avalanche of retirements in the baby boom generation. The current path is unsustainable and Jim offers young Americans encouragement that they can and should get married and start having babies.

Finally, they denounce the University of Southern California's decision to cancel the main commencement ceremony out of fears there will be disruptions related to Middle East grievances. They explain how this only rewards the troublemakers and Jim stresses that the Class of 2024, of all groups, deserves to celebrate commencement.

Jim is back today and fired up to discuss Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman's resolute denunciation of Hamas, the utter cluelessness of some student protesters, and UCLA Medical School's insane "health equity" class.

First, they applaud Sen. Fetterman for highlighting the 200 days since Hamas slaughtered at least 1,200 Jews, raped many others, and took hundreds hostage, including Americans. As Hamas posts video of one hostage - who now only has one arm - Fetterman explains very clearly how the Israel-Hamas war could be over instantly.

Next, they salute the college presidents and political leaders who have done an effective job at shutting down anti-Israel protests that refuse to leave private property. And they point out multiple examples of these college students knowing next to nothing about why they're protesting and what the basic facts are about war in the Middle East.

Finally, they just shake their heads as a "health equity" class at UCLA Medical School teaches aspiring doctors that weight loss is a "hopeless endeavor" and that "obesity" is a slur "used to exact violence on fat people."

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour Host Scot Bertram is in for Jim. Today, Scot and Greg serve up at least one good martini, one that has the potential to be very good, and a really crazy one starring Stacey Abrams.

First, they laugh as new Bloomberg poll numbers show President Biden's blatant pandering to Muslim voters in Michigan by verbally attacking Israel at every opportunity is showing small signs of success in that state but it's also causing Donald Trump to grow his lead in virtually every other battleground state.

Next, they are cautiously optimistic about recently passed legislation that forces TikTok's parent company to sell the app or have it banned in the U.S. TikTok is well documented to be Chinese Communist Party spyware that harvests personal and national security data while getting millions of Americans - especially young people - addicted to the content, much of which is very harmful. But they also want to be sure this new law does not end up stifling online speech in any way.

Then, they get a kick out twice-failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams stating that opposition to the implementation of the DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) agenda in schools is an attack on our democracy. They enjoy seeing how the Democrats now see any position contrary to their agenda as a threat to democracy - and the insanity doesn't stop there.

Lastly, these two beleaguered Chicago Bears fans look ahead to Thursday's NFL Draft, in which the Bears have the first pick. Scot is optimistic about the team that's being assembled and Greg is just waiting to see how the Bears will squander this opportunity.

Inez Stepman of the Independent Women's Forum and host of the "High Noon" podcast is in for Jim. Today, we discuss President Biden's absurd changes to Title IX, his feckless equivocating on anti-Semitic college protests, and his federal bureaucrats harassing a business for not hiring criminals.

First, they break down the Biden Department of Education's radical changes to Title IX of the Civil Rights Act, adding gender identity protections to an area of law specifically focused on ensuring opportunities for women and girls. Now, the government will force schools at every level to allow students and personnel to use whichever bathroom they identify with, compel speech through mandatory preferred pronoun usage, and strip college students of due process rights when accused of sexual misconduct.

Then, they react to the latest in the anti-Semitic protests happening at Columbia University and many other far-left, supposedly elite institutions. They also react to President Biden condemning the protests but - in the same breath - also condemning "those who don't understand what's going on with the Palestinians."

Finally, they shake their heads as Biden-appointed bureaucrats at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) sue Sheetz gas stations for racial discrimination by refusing to hire applicants who failed a criminal background check.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour Host Scot Bertram is in for Jim. Today, Scot and Greg tackle virulent anti-Semitism on the campuses of many supposedly elite colleges, Dems' wishful thinking on this summer's convention running without major disruptions from protesters, and the impact RFK Jr. may have in Michigan.

First, they chronicle how ugly anti-Semitic protests are consuming campuses from Columbia to MIT to Yale and beyond with demonstrators trying to "occupy" parts of the schools while harassing, intimidating, and threatening Jewish students and faculty. These protests are overtly pro-Hamas now and the "Students for Justice in Palestine" say they plan to bring this to colleges throughout the country.

Next, they roll their eyes as Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker looks at these protests and says he doesn't expect any problems from them when the Democratic National Convention comes to Chicago this summer. It's a bold prediction given Chicago's inability to prevent chaos on a normal day.

Finally, as Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. qualifies for the presidential ballot in Michigan, how big of a factor will he become in a state the Biden campaign is already very nervous about. They also look at some polling about how RFK Jr. may impact the race and the big problem the Trump campaign seems to be having in getting supporters to vote.

Join Jim and Greg as they discuss Israel's response to Iran, the Chinese threat to America's critical infrastructure, and the public political fight among the Kennedys.

First, they welcome news of an Israeli military response against Iran. Details remain sketchy but it seems to be a much smaller operation than Iran launched over the weekend. So is this the end of the back-and-forth or is there more to come?

Next, they shudder as FBI Director Christopher Wray says China is actively trying to hack and disable critical U.S. infrastructure like electricity, water, and more.

Finally, they discuss most Kennedy family members endorsing President Biden over RFK, Jr. But do voters care what the Kennedys think? And what does this event tell us about how worried the Biden campaign is about RFK, Jr.?

Join Jim and Greg as they sound off on some good news out of the House of Representatives and some really crazy news about taxpayer-funded media and President Biden's latest whoppers.

First, they're glad to see a big bipartisan majority in the House of Representatives vote to declare the Iran-backed Houthis to be a "Foreign Terrorist Organization" again. If the Senate also passes it, Jim and Greg hope Biden will the sign the bill and not stubbornly stick to his decision to reverse President Trump designation of the Houthis as a Foreign Terrorist Organization.

Then, they wince as National Public Radio (NPR) basically forces longtime editor Uri Berliner out after he publicly scolded NPR for engaging in partisan politics by stifling stories like the Hunter Biden laptop and the origins of COVID while reporting Rep. Adam Schiff's version of the Trump-Russia investigation as the truth. Instead, leaders there are proving most of Berliner's accusations true and embracing leftist narratives. They also recoil at a TED Talk that new NPR CEO Katherine Maher delivered about how we all have our own truths and that building consensus is more important than pursuing truth.

Finally, they groan as President Biden repeatedly tells the thoroughly disproven story of his uncle allegedly getting by cannibals in New Guinea during World War II. And Biden also claims he told Israel not to go into Haifa - which is an Israeli city. But Jim says the statement is also very problematic on another level.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour Host Scot Bertram is in for Jim. Today, Scot and Greg serve up three crazy martinis ranging from Capitol Hill to women's sports to the high school classroom.

First, they sigh as some House Republicans vow to move forward on trying to remove House Speaker Mike Johnson over his handling of the House agenda - and what his critics call passing the Democrats' agenda. There are valid criticisms of Johnson's decisions, positions, and priorities on some issues, but what would removing another Speaker of the House accomplish now, when Republicans have an even smaller majority than they did when Johnson was elected?

Next, they roll their eyes as President Biden and others on the left try to pander to women by demanding WNBA players get equal pay with the men in the NBA. Of course the big wage disparity has nothing to do with the sex of the players but whether their league is profitable. The NBA makes billions of dollars each year. The WNBA has lost money for its entire existence.

Finally, they highlight the case of a North Carolina high school student who was suspended for three days for asking his teacher whether the word "alien" in his vocabulary lesson referred to space aliens or people who come into the U.S. with no green cards.

Join Jim and Greg as they discuss the right approach towards anti-Israel protesters blocking traffic. Plus, they take on Dems trying to nominate unelectable Republicans again and the New York judge who may refuse to let Donald Trump attend his son's graduation.

First, they fume over pro-Palestinian (often overtly pro-Hamas) demonstrators shutting down traffic on the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City, and the roads leading to O'Hare International Airport in Chicago. But they also highlight how Florida officials quickly thwarted similar disruptions in and around Miami.

Next, they raise warmings that Democrats are once again trying to meddle in Republican primaries by purporting to campaign on behalf of candidates that the activists on the left think will be easier to defeat in the general election. The latest mischief is happening in a House swing district in Pennsylvania.

Finally, they shake their heads as the judge in Donald Trump's New York City hush money trial says that Trump will be arrested if he misses any days in court. He also would not commit to allowing Trump to attend his son's high school graduation next month.

Iran attacked Israel over the weekend, and Jim and Greg break down the good, bad, and crazy elements of this huge story.

First, they reject the notion that this was a largely symbolic attack from Iran - supposedly because everyone knew Iran's weapons would not get past the missile defense capabilities in the region. But Jim points out that you don't send hundreds of missiles and hundreds of drones if your effort is symbolic. They also chafe at reports that Biden (through Turkish intermediaries) told Iran to keep any attacks "within certain limits." And they point out that Iran once again rejected Biden's feeble insistence of "don't" when asked about Iranian aggression.

Next, they cheer the excellence of execution by the U.S., Great Britain, Israel, Jordan, and even Saudi Arabia in thwarting the Iranian attack with missile defense and other collaboration. And they take a moment to give credit to the man who insisted on pursuing missile defense more than 40 years ago despite the derision of Democrats and the media - President Ronald Reagan.

Finally, they groan as Biden tells Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not to respond against Iran because the missile defense operation resulted in "a win" for Israel. That's not how this works.

President Biden is once again touting his unconstitutional efforts to transfer the student loan debt from those who took out the loans to the taxpayers who did not. It's not just illegal, it's immoral. And there are much better ways to address the problem. Today, Jim and Greg examine three different areas worthy of much more attention.

First, they cheer Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for arguing that colleges and universities should back up the cost of student loans if their graduates are not able to find jobs with high enough salaries to pay them back. He says it's not only right because the schools benefit immensely from student loans but it would also force schools to focus on subjects in which their students can find good jobs.

Next, they also welcome their friend Inez Stepman's idea of taxing the endowments of colleges and universities, instead of allowing schools to treat them like hedge funds. Beyond that, they implore Republicans to come up with a coherent message other than opposition to what Biden is doing. Americans are furious about Biden's shifting of this debt onto the rest of taxpayers, but without an actual plan to address the problem, Republicans are not doing taxpayers or themselves any favors.

Finally, they note the coming higher education "enrollment cliff," as the number of high school graduates is expected to drop considerably in the next few years. Will that refocus the priorities of these universities? And how will greater interest in trade schools impact all of this?

On Thursday, we learned that O.J. Simpson died after a battle with cancer. He was 76 years old. In the mid-1990's, his murder trial dominated news coverage and divided a nation. Today, Jim and Greg look back, but not as a trip down memory lane. Instead, it's about understanding why this was such a massive story and the impact that the O.J. saga still has on our nation today.

Younger Americans may know him only as an accused murderer, if they remember him at all. If you're a bit older, you remember the star athlete, actor, and football commentator who was beloved throughout the nation. It's a fall from grace that Jim and Greg chronicle to explain just how stunning it was that Simpson was accused of murdering ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and Ron Goldman.

From there, Jim and Greg dig into the legal and media circus that played out in the murder trial, on the news, in late night television and beyond. The story engulfed our culture in ways that we still feel today - and not for the better.

Finally, they examine the legacy of O.J. at his death - nearly 30 years after he was accused of two savage murders.

It's four martinis for the price of three today and none of them are good.

Join Jim and Greg as they start a busy day with the Arizona Supreme Court upholding an 1864 law limiting abortions only to medical emergencies for the mother. "Life of the mother" used to be a pretty standard position on abortion for Republicans, but the hypocritical reaction from most GOP figures yesterday was quite telling. They'd much prefer the talking point than the actual policy.

They also groan as the monthly inflation numbers once again come in higher than expected. Prices remain stubbornly high - and often keep rising - regardless of what the president or his allies tell you.

Plus, Biden suggests Israel should announce it will stop fighting Hamas for 6-8 weeks to allow significant humanitarian relief into Gaza. He made no mention of requiring the release of hostages in response. Meanwhile, Hamas has already rejected a cease-fire but Biden can't seem to condemn that publicly.

Finally, Texas Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee offers an astronomy lesson for the ages at an event celebrating the solar eclipse.

Join Jim and Greg as they serve up three important martinis, with Sen. Fetterman providing another pleasant surprise, Donald Trump stirring up the abortion debate on the right, and President Biden getting called out over his handling of the Middle East crisis.

First, they cheer Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman for blasting the notion that squatters have any right to live on property they don't own and have no permission to stay on. He also rips soft-on-crime policies.

Next, they dissect Donald Trump's announcement on his abortion stance. While agreeing with Trump that the Democrats' agenda - of taxpayer funded abortions up to the moment of birth and even allowing babies to die after surviving abortions - is the far more radical position on the issue, they're also critical of Trump's "follow your heart" advice on abortion in the states for a number of reasons.

Finally, they chide The Dispatch for a pretty weak case that President Biden has kept his focus on the Americans being held hostage by Hamas in Gaza. While it's true that Biden has addressed the despicable abductions, it's not very often and there's an easy way to tell how much public attention the White House and the media want to give this issue.

Join Jim and Greg for a few quick thoughts on the solar eclipse and then martinis covering the Middle East, the hidden truth inside the March jobs report, and a senator trying to push a Supreme Court justice into retirement.

First, they applaud former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett for fending off the biased questions of CNN's Fareed Zakaria and repeatedly echoing his political rival, current Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in saying that Israel must destroy Hamas once and for all.

Next, they shudder at the truth behind the supposedly good March jobs report - that virtually all of the jobs created last month were part-time positions. They discuss what this means and why it explains Americans' disgust with Biden over the economy despite good unemployment numbers.

Finally, they get a kick out of Connecticut Sen. Richard Blumenthal publicly pressuring Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor to retire - with the not-so-subtle suggestion that she could die soon and hand a Republican president the opportunity to replace her.

Join Jim and Greg as they dive into discussion about Nebraska's electoral votes, Bill Clinton writing another autobiography, and Pete Buttigieg gaslighting America about EV's.

First, they consider what seems likely to be an unsuccessful effort by Nebraska Republicans to switch the allotment of the state's electoral votes to a winner-take-all system, instead of awarding votes by who wins each congressional district. Jim says some consistency nationwide would be nice, while Greg laughs at all of the outrage on the left when their Electoral College overhaul agenda is far more radical.

Next, they roll their eyes as Bill Clinton gets ready to release another new book in November, this one about his life since leaving the presidency. Jim wonders whether this will finally be the time when Clinton is forced to answer many lingering questions about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.

Finally, they respond to Transportation Sec. Pete Buttigieg gaslighting Americans about the demand for electric vehicles, the auto industry shifting in the direction of EV production, and saying those trying to stop this movement are like people who wanted to focus on landlines as cell phones were coming onto the market. Jim and Greg point out the major holes in Buttigieg's talking points and why his landline comparison is pathetic.

First, they applaud the voters of Jackson County, Missouri, for rejecting the demands of the Kansas City Chiefs and Kansas City Royals to approve a sales tax to bankroll a new baseball stadium and overhaul the football field.

Next, they welcome the decision by Wisconsin voters to reject private financing or staffing of elections. It's in response to the millions poured into the 2020 elections by Facebook/Meta Founder Mark Zuckerberg.

Finally, they're disgusted but not surprised that the Biden administration does not plan to honor its promise to refill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve after selling off much of it to artificially lower gas prices before the 2022 midterm elections

First, they defend Israel's decision to target the Secretary General of Islamic Jihad at the Iranian ambassador's residence in Syria.

Next, they welcome Washington Post columnist Kathleen Parker's rejection of Christine Blasey Ford's comeback tour - noting that Blasey Ford did not offer a single piece of evidence to back up her story that she was assaulted by Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh back in high school. Also, she condemns Blasey Ford's allies for applying immense pressure on her supposed witnesses to corroborate her story but they refused to lie.

Finally, they groan as Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer offers a "Newcomer Rental Subsidy" to residents, promising then a monthly check of $500 for each migrant they let stay in their homes.

Jim Geraghty is back! We'll have a full review of his time in Ukraine later this week but today he ready to focus on good, bad, and crazy martinis after sharing his thoughts on the passing of Sen. Lieberman last week.

They kick off the martinis by appreciating Donald Trump for attending the wake of slain NYPD Officer Jonathan Diller and offering appropriate comments afterwards about how we need a major shift in how this country views police officers. Jim says moments like this are also why Trump holds narrow leads in virtually all of the swing states.

Next, they sigh as the Biden administration thinks it found a partner in Middle East peace with the Palestinian Authority. But first, the U.S. is trying to convince this supposedly more responsible group's leaders to stop paying the families of people committing terrorist attacks against Israel. If that's a real dilemma for the Palestinian Authority, its commitment to last peace seems more than a little dubious.

Finally, they chide Pope Francis for using part of his Easter message to call for an immediate ceasefire in the Middle East and his curious contention that "peace is never made with weapons, but with outstretched hands and open hearts." That sounds nice but it's not always true and not realistic when dealing with bloodthirsty perpetrators of evil like Hamas.

Undisputed King of Stuff, columnist, and longtime Ricochet Editor-in-Chief Jon Gabriel is in for Jim today. Jon and Greg tackle one good martini and two crazy ones to close the week.

First, they cheer Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin for his veto binge on many bills passed by Democrats out of the legislature (although he should have vetoed more). In addition to nixing a minimum wage hike and numerous gun control measures, Youngkin also rejected legislation to legalize marijuana dispensaries. And Jon and Greg have plenty to say in support of Youngkin slamming the brakes on pot shops.

Next, they highlight the stunning hypocrisy by New York City Councilwoman Amanda Farias, who is lamenting that more men won't step in to protect women from attackers in the city. But just last year, she publicly denounced Daniel Penny, the ex-Marine who subdued a man on the subway after making many menacing threats to other passengers. What did Farias think would happen when people doing the right thing get prosecuted?

Finally, while Jon and Greg highly endorse reading the Bible, they cringe as Donald Trump endorses Lee Greenwood's God Bless the USA Bible and the website proudly proclaims that it's the only Bible endorsed by Trump.

Undisputed King of Stuff, columnist, and longtime Ricochet Editor-in-Chief Jon Gabriel is in for Jim today. Jon and Greg tackle good, bad, and crazy martinis and remember the late Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman.

First, they cheer Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and the state legislature for enacting anti-squatting legislation to provide protections for property owners and swift law enforcement removal of people illegally occupying others' homes.

Next, they hammer CBS News reporter Ed O'Keefe and new Guatemalan Pres. Bernardo Arevalo for blatantly misrepresenting Donald Trump's comments on migrants and absurdly suggesting people have a fundamental right to come to the U.S. O'Keefe also suggests migrants' lives might be in danger in the U.S. if Trump wins in November.

They also highlight the painfully predictable results of California raising the minimum wage for fast food workers to $20 per hour.

Finally, they offer a toast to longtime Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman, who was the Democrats' vice presidential nominee in 2000 and, just as significantly, a guest on 3 Martini Lunch in 2022.

Inez Stepman of the Independent Women's Forum and host of the "High Noon" podcast is in for Jim.

First, Inez and Greg assess Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s choice of Nicole Shanahan as his running mate and her startling record of supporting pro-criminal district attorneys and other initiatives aimed at softening penalties for even the worst offenders. But will picking a lefty help Kennedy draw more votes away from Biden?

Next, they recoil as Politico reports Biden is considering amnesty for people who came to this country illegally more than 10 years ago and have family members or others who are citizens who might "suffer" if they were deported. Inez calls this DACA Part 2 but suspects the public reaction would be far more negative this time around.

Finally, they highlight an Atlantic story documenting the brazen anti-Semitism at Stanford University ever since the atrocities perpetrated by Hamas in October - from personnel calling for the murder of President Biden to a speaker singling out Jewish students at a mandatory freshman lecture and more. Inez explains why this was the natural progression of leftism on campus and what steps could easily be taken to shake academia out of it's radical activism.

Former Chief Assistant U.S. Attorney and National Review Contributing Editor Andy McCarthy is in for Jim today. Today, they cover four stories for the price of three martinis.

Before getting to the official martinis, Andy and Greg discuss the cargo ship hitting and collapsing the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore. Andy cautions people from jumping to conclusions but also warns authorities not to rule out anything publicly just for the sake of trying to keep people calm.

Next, Andy breaks down Monday's appeals court decision in New York, which reduced Donald Trump's bond in the civil fraud case to $175 million. Andy says it was a good decision but explains why the bond should be even lower.

Then, they unload on President Biden and his advisers for abandoning Israel by allowing a United Nations ceasefire resolution to pass out of the UN Security Council. Biden has been growing colder and colder towards Israel in an effort to shore up votes, but Andy explains how Biden is simply continuing the Obama-era policy of appointing Islamists to influential government positions.

Finally, they get a kick out of NBC and MSNBC anchors blasting their own bosses on the air for making former Republican National Committee Chair Ronna Romney McDaniel a paid contributor. Watching all the MSNBC personalities pretend the uproar is about something other than hiring a Republican is very amusing.

Inez Stepman of the Independent Women's Forum and host of the "High Noon" podcast is in for Jim.

First, they react to Dr. Jonathan Haidt's latest writings and research confirming the devastating impact that 24/7 exposure to screens, the internet, and social media have had on Gen Z. The finding are terrible but knowing the facts is very helpful. So what are the lessons should take away from what we've learned over the past 17 years since the iPhone came out and just how much damage has been done to the young people who served as guinea pigs for this massive shift in technology.

Next, they react to Wisconsin Rep. Mike Gallagher not only deciding not to run for re-election but to resign from Congress next month. Not only that, it appears he is postponing his resignation just long enough to prevent a special election to fill his seat, so it will stay vacant until November. Colorado's Ken Buck did the same thing earlier this month. Greg wonders why these two GOP members are selfishly leaving their constituents high and dry (as did Kevin McCarthy late last year) instead of honoring their commitments. However, Inez says the Republicans brought this dysfunction upon themselves by constantly ignoring their base, which now has a louder voice with such a slim House majority in place.

Finally, they groan as Christine Blasey Ford, the woman who accused Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault during high school without one stitch of evidence is now back with a book allegedly telling her story. Greg and Inez blast what appears to be the left's political long game in convincing the public over time that Blasey Ford really was a victim. And Inez highlights that on many college campuses, men are still often treated far worse than Kavanaugh.

Undisputed King of Stuff, columnist, and longtime Ricochet Editor-in-Chief Jon Gabriel is in for Jim today. Today, Jon and Greg tackle three lousy martinis centered on the critical issues of national security and basic economic freedoms.

First, they react to Thursday's horrifying rush of illegal aliens towards Texas National Guard troops and our border fence in El Paso, Texas. And despite this lawlessness, many of those people were allowed into the U.S.

Next, they fume over President Biden's EPA announcing new emissions standards that would force electric vehicles to be a significant majority of new car purchases by 2032. Not only does this strangle economic choice but it's pure fantasy that our power grid can handle that massive surge in demand within a few years. And what if EV emissions are actually worse than those of regular cars? A new study suggests that's actually the case.

Finally, they analyze a new poll of Palestinians which proves the Democrats' narrative on the Middle East is a lie. Palestinians do not condemn Hamas and they don't want peace with Israel.

Undisputed King of Stuff, columnist, and longtime Ricochet Editor-in-Chief Jon Gabriel is in for Jim today. Today, Jon and Greg break down one thoroughly enjoyable congressional hearing, an utterly infuriating one, and perhaps the craziest martini of all time.

But before the martinis, they provide a brief update on Jim's latest reporting, including the closest he's been to intense Russian bombings in Ukraine. Thankfully, Jim is fine, but please keep praying for his safety and for the Ukrainian people.

In today's martinis, Jon and Greg appreciate Louisiana Sen. John Kennedy's master class in exposing President Biden's radical judicial nominees. This week he flummoxed Judge Nancy Maldonado by highlighting her call for an assault weapons ban in a previous job and making her prove she has no idea what she means by "assault weapons."

Next, they head to a House hearing in which former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen. Mark Milley admits the Taliban has butchered a good number of our Afghan allies and that he and others in the Biden administration never knew how many Americans were in Afghanistan at the time of the withdrawal debacle so they had no idea how many were still there when the military left.

They also highlight testimony from former CentCom Commander Gen. Kenneth McKenzie, who admitted, "When I received the order to withdraw the US military, I was not ordered to plan to get U.S. citizens out, our allies out, or evacuate our embassy."

Finally, just one week after "right-wing influencers" were accused of falsely stating some Haitian gangs engaged in cannibalism (even though they were right), the push is now on to defend the hideous practice. NewScientist.com laments that in contrast to zombie movies and characters like Hannibal Lecter, "positive stories of cannibals are few and far between." They also claim our primitive ancestors ate their dead as a sign of respect.

Former Chief Assistant U.S. Attorney and National Review Contributing Editor Andy McCarthy is in for Jim. Andy & Greg tackle thorny issues from securing the border to banning TikTok to people losing their homes to squatters.

First, they react to the whiplash of the U.S. Supreme Court initially staying the Texas legislation allowing the state to arrest and deport illegal aliens, then allowing the law to into effect, and now an appellate court putting it on hold again due to another challenge. Andy explains why the legal gears grind slowly and why the issue should not ideally be decided by the courts.

Next, they dig into legislation that would ban "foreign adversary-controlled applications." The immediate goal is to ban TikTok or force its parent company to sever ties with the Chinese Communist Party. The app is Chinese spyware and also fills the minds of young people with poisonous ideas. But is the currebt legislation the best vehicle to make that happen or does it potentially threaten the speech rights of American citizens?

Finally, they explore the horrifying trend of homeowners finding squatters living in their houses. The squatters have no lease or any other legal justification to be there but the laws in New York and other places make it extremely difficult for property owners to have the intruders removed.

Former Chief Assistant U.S. Attorney and National Review Contributing Editor Andy McCarthy is in for Jim. Andy joins Greg at a perfect time to break down three big legal stories.

First, they react to Monday's oral arguments at the U.S. Supreme Court about whether the government can pressure social media platforms to delete or reduce visibility for posts containing what the government deems misinformation or disinformation.

And they specifically recoil as Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson worries that ruling against the feds will end up having "the First Amendment hamstringing the government in significant ways in the most important time periods." Andy and Greg stress that is the whole point of the First Amendment, and Andy explains the left's very disturbing trend of trying to make courts believe the Bill of Rights applies to the government the same way it does to individuals.

Next, they look at Donald Trump's dilemma in New York City, where the former president says he cannot post the $454 million bond in the judgment against him in the civil fraud trial. Andy says this is an unusual case in that there are no alleged victims and he explains why the size of the judgment is absurdly high.

Finally, they react to Washington state no longer requiring prospective attorneys to pass the bar exam, saying the test "disproportionally and unnecessarily blocks” marginalized groups from becoming attorneys. Andy may surprise you with his opinion about the necessity of the bar exam but he does worry about where the rationale for this change will eventually lead.

Inez Stepman of the Independent Women's Forum and host of the "High Noon" podcast is in for Jim. Today, Inez and Greg discuss discerning voters, a thoroughly dishonest mainstream media, and the Dems getting awfully defensive about Kamala Harris.

First, they welcome a new poll showing 60 percent of likely voters opposing the Biden administration flying hundreds of thousands of migrants into the U.S. who have no legal justification for being here. And 46 percent strongly oppose it. They also take time to slam Senate GOP leadership for being so out of touch with the public and even their own members by thinking the Senate immigration bill would be acceptable to most Republicans.

Next, they dissect the absurdly dishonest media reporting that Donald Trump promised a "bloodbath" for this country if he is not elected in November, when the context of the quote makes it painfully obvious he was saying the auto industry would see a bloodbath if Biden gets four more years. They also discuss how there are a dwindling number of places to find the truth in situations like these.

Finally, they get a kick out of the left excoriating anti-Trump Washington Post columnist Kathleen Parker for suggesting Vice President Kamala Harris should step down from the ticket because the VP's deep unpopularity creates another liability for a president who has quite a few already. The response to Parker's suggestion consisted of the typical accusations of racism, misogyny, and everything except the actual merits of the argument. Inez explains why she finds it "beautiful" to see the left coming face-to-face with the reality that Harris was hired based on diversity instead of competence and the results are disastrous.

Undisputed King of Stuff, columnist, and longtime Ricochet Editor-in-Chief Jon Gabriel is in for Jim today as he and Greg serve up a full round of bad/crazy martinis after giving a well-deserved shoutout to Florida for showing it is possible to interdict illegal immigration.

In their first crazy martini, they highlight Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders introducing legislation lowering the work week to just 32 hours but also demanding no drop in pay. In addition to the economic insanity, Jon points out that this runs afoul of America's strong work ethic.

They also roll their eyes at the latest story suggesting Americans need to stop eating so much beef and dairy because it's supposedly responsible for the low water levels in the western U.S. because so much is needed to grow the plants that cattle eat. Jon and Greg are not buying that premise and suggest some more obvious reasons that water levels are down.

Finally, they dig into Jon's latest column for Discourse magazine focusing on how man Americans are less than enthused about a Biden-Trump rematch. Jon explains what that apathy might mean in 2024 and why it's important to vote even if you don't love your options at the top of the ticket.

Undisputed King of Stuff, columnist, and longtime Ricochet Editor-in-Chief Jon Gabriel is in for Jim today as he and Greg enjoy a fantastic good martini, an infuriating bad one, and more media insanity.

First, Jon and Greg sit back and relish Texas Republican Rep. Wesley Hunt savaging the Democrats' talking points that requiring voters to present a photo ID to vote is somehow racist, discriminatory, or burdensome. Rep. Hunt effectively and cleverly refers to his own experience as a black man in procuring photo ID's and the proof in Georgia that secure elections don't equal voter suppression.

Then, they unload on Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer for castigating Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from the Senate floor, with Schumer labeling Netanyahu an "obstacle to peace" and demanding new elections in Israel. And while he demands new elections and a change in Israeli leadership, Schumer assures us that the U.S. would never, ever interfere in those elections.

Finally, they react with horror to the gang-fueled anarchy unfolding in Haiti and the humanitarian crisis that seems headed our way. But they also pause to note the insanity of NBC News blasting "right wing influencers" for pointing out some of these gangs have a history of cannibalism - rather than criticizing the gangs themselves.

Former Chief Assistant U.S. Attorney and National Review Contributing Editor Andy McCarthy is in for Jim today. Andy and Greg dive into the law, congressional politics, and how the presidential campaign and the NFL might intersect this year.

First, Andy analyzes Special Counsel Robert Hur's Tuesday testimony before the House Judiciary Committee. He explains why Adam Schiff was dead wrong to suggest Hur was playing politics by discussing Biden's faulty memory in his report on Biden's mishandling of classified information. He also dismisses Rep. Jayapal and others for wrongly insisting that the Hur report "exonerates" Biden, noting the facts of the report and that it's not the job of a prosecutor to exonerate anyone.

But in reflecting on questions from the GOP side and the report itself, Andy outlines why he thinks Hur's ultimate conclusions were wrong.

Next, they react to Colorado Rep. Ken Buck announcing his impending resignation from the House of Representatives. The move will leave the GOP with an even slimmer 218-213 margin with four special elections still to come. Andy suggests this move is quite telling about the battle for the future of the Republican Party.

Finally, they get a kick out of reports that Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is speaking "pretty continuously" with New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers about Rodgers serving as Kennedy's running mate for his independent presidential bid.

Former Chief Assistant U.S. Attorney and National Review Contributing Editor Andy McCarthy is in for Jim and provides a wealth of historical and first-hand context to our three topics today.

First, Andy and Greg assess Special Counsel Robert Hur's testimony surrounding the timeline confusion in Biden's testimony over allegations that he mishandled classified information. Hur's testimony puts the lie to Biden's angry denunciation that he was asked when his son died. Instead, Biden volunteered it and got it wrong.

Andy also points out that Biden was found to be mishandling sensitive information for decades, including his time in the Senate. And he explains why Biden being in possession of classified info from his Senate days proves that Biden - and not his staff - is responsible for him having those documents. He also provides critical background information into another notorious example of a Democrat being caught red-handed illegally taking classified information.

Next, they shudder as FBI Director Christopher Wray confirms in Senate testimony that the bureau is actively investigating allegations that human smugglers with ties to ISIS are actively moving people at our southern border. Andy says this should come as no surprise and he shares the stunning immigration enforcement incompetence that allowed the terrorist mastermind of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing to enter the U.S. illegally - even after being directly linked to a high-profile assassination overseas.

Finally, they zero in on California Rep. Adam Schiff suggesting that Donald Trump should received "dumbed down" intelligence reports as the GOP presidential nominee because of the classified charges pending against him. Andy says this would not be the first time the intel community played favorites in a presidential election involving Trump, and he recalls why Schiff is the least credible advocate for this argument against the former president.

Inez Stepman of the Independent Women's Forum and host of the "High Noon" podcast is in for Jim. Today, Inez and Greg discuss three stories featuring insanity - or attempted insanity - from the Biden administration.

First, they applaud Snickers for calling out President Biden's falsehoods about the company's alleged "shrinkflation" practices. They not only discuss Biden's obvious efforts to distract from his own inflationary policies but his decades-long practice of trying to convince low-information voters that he's actually the stronger choice on issues like border security.

Next, they dig into the infuriating story of how the Biden administration is undermining the CHIPS Act and efforts to manufacture semiconductors here in the U.S. by saddling companies with absurd DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) mandates for hiring and more. As a result, companies are delaying or scrapping plans to build new plants here. Biden and his people are choosing a radical agenda over national security.

Finally, they highlight the story the Department of Veterans Affairs wishes would just vanish. A memo was drafted ordering the removal of the famous photo of the sailor and nurse kissing in Times Square from VA facilities. The photo depicts the jubilation after the Japanese surrendered in August 1945, meaning World War II was over. Why did the VA try to ban the photo? Because the kiss was "non-consensual" and therefore runs afoul of the Justice Department's current definition of sexual assault. The policy was quickly scrapped by VA Secretary Denis McDonough after an intense & immediate public backlash.

We've had all good martinis and all crazy martinis this week. So it makes sense that Jim and Greg close the week with all bad martinis as they assess President Biden's State of the Union address and the Republican response.

First, they note that Biden responded to criticism that he often comes off as low energy and mentally meandering by showing up angry, talking quickly, and turning the speech into more of a convention address than what the event is supposed to be. But Jim says if the Biden team was trying to invigorate the left-wing base, it may have helped him politically. They also highlight his inappropriate trash talking of the Supreme Court and his fiction over deficit spending.

Then, they take aim at Biden's ill-conceived idea of building a pier on or near the Gaza coast to bring in humanitarian relief. And while Biden says there will be no American "boots on the ground," if they're anywhere close, this is a very bad idea. Jim also asserts that this move is simply Biden's efforts to win back Muslim voters in Michigan.

Finally, they're less than thrilled with the GOP performance on Thursday. They discuss the excellent content in the official response from Alabama Sen. Katie Britt but debate whether the emotional delivery was effective. Moreover, given the late start to the Biden speech, Jim suspects the nation's opinion of the Republicans will be based more on Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's disruptions of Biden than the actual response.

Buckle up for three crazy martinis today!

First, Jim and Greg laugh in bewilderment as a former U.S. Air Force officer is indicted for sharing classified information over a foreign dating website with someone he thought was a woman in Ukraine. And her demands for the information were not exactly subtle.

Then they roll their eyes as California Rep. Katie Porter accuses billionaires of spending millions of dollars to "rig" the California Senate primary, in which she finished a distant third. And her efforts to clarify that comment did not help her case.

Finally, they hammer Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer for failing to pursue any consequences for heavily-indicted Democrat Sen. Bob Menendez of New Jersey. Not only does he refuse to demand a resignation, but Schumer still allows Menendez to receive classified briefings after being charged with corruption and bribery in connection to foreign countries.

Join Jim and Greg as they break down a big day in politics from Super Tuesday to the balance in the U.S. Senate.

First, they acknowledge what we all expected - that Donald Trump and Joe Biden would virtually lock up their respective nominations on Tuesday - punctuated by Nikki Haley suspending her campaign Wednesday morning. But they do note that bewildering win by Democrat Jason Palmer in American Samoa & highlight the smugness of the MSNBC panel over Virginia Republicans naming immigration as their top concern. And Jim explains how he would restructure the primary season so that more voters in more states would have a say while the campaign is still competitive.

Then they break down the results of the jungle primary in California. They're disgusted that Adam Schiff not only advanced to the general election but will be the heavy favorite. They also note former Dodgers and Padres star Steve Garvey taking the second spot behind Schiff. And hey are very pleased to see far left Reps. Katie Porter and Barbara Lee lose and be out of Congress entirely next year.

Finally, they dissect the impact of Arizona Independent Sen. Kyrsten Sinema announcing she will not run for re-election this year. While still disagreeing with Sinema on most issues, they see her six years as somewhat of a pleasant surprise for her willingness to defend the legislative filibuster in the Senate. But they also note that a far left Dem is now likely favored to win her seat.

After a lovely day of all good martinis, there's plenty of bad and crazy for Jim and Greg today. And even the good martini is not pleasant.

First, the welcome the United Nations taking five months to confirm what we all saw on October 7th last year - that Hamas used rape and other sexual assault as weapons of war. However, the UN also concluded that Hamas is still likely using these heinous tactics against the hostages.

Next, a two-part bad martini highlighting President Biden's dereliction at the border and new evidence that his administration deliberately and actively flew illegals into the country. They dissect a Daily Mail report detailing how the administration admits, through a Freedom of Information request, that it flew hundreds of thousands of people (with no legal right to enter our nation) to 43 different airports in the U.S. during 2023 alone.

But they also point out a recent segment on "60 Minutes," in which former Customs and Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz says he never had a conversation with President Biden or Vice President Kamala Harris during his two years on the job from 2021-2023.

Finally, Jim and Greg unload on figures at the Lincoln Project and The Bulwark for their unhinged rhetoric aimed at No Labels, the group looking for a third party candidate to run for president this year. Reporting from Byron York quotes Rick Wilson of the Lincoln Project saying No Labels needed to be "burned to the (expletive deleted) ground politically." Jonathan Last of The Bulwark publicly said anyone affiliated with No Labels should "have their lives ruined," including losing their jobs and much more.

It's nothing but good martinis for Jim and Greg on Monday's 3 Martini Lunch!

First, Jim declares vindication after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that Donald Trump must be allowed on the Colorado GOP primary ballot after that state's supreme court kicked him off based on the insurrection clause of Section 3 in the 14th Amendment. Jim says without a conviction or even an indictment for insurrection, taking such action against Trump was a very weak legal position.

Next, they welcome the University of Florida eliminating DEI ("Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion") programs and personnel. It's not only the right move but it also showcases the leadership of Gov. Ron DeSantis getting this policy through the Florida legislature and University of Florida Pres. Ben Sasse for implementing it.

Finally, they cheer Oregon for correcting a 2020 referendum that decriminalized personal use amounts of drugs, including hard drugs like meth and heroin. Oregon subsequently fell to 50th in access to drug treatment and witnesses a spike in overdoses. Jim says this is another example of how reality did not turn out anything like the experts insisted it would.

Jim and Greg serve up a clarifying good martini plus conventional bad and crazy ones to wind up the week.

First, they offer a timely reminder of Biden's promises from 2020 on border security, sanctuary cities, and who ought to be deported. The comments explain why we saw the border crisis explode on his watch and suggest his recent get tough approach is only a political maneuver.

They also cringe as stellar national security reporter Catherine Herridge is ordered to pay fines of $800 per day for refusing to divulge her sources on a story connection a U.S.-based scientist with the Chinese Communist Party.

Finally, they groan in reaction to the race already beginning to replace Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell, even though the conference elections aren't until November, we have no idea how many Republicans will be in the Senate, and how many current ones will still be there.

Join Jim and Greg for three important martinis ranging from the U.S. Senate to the border to cronyism in politics.

First, they react to Sen. Mitch McConnell announcing this will be his final year as Senate Republican leader. They break down McConnell's record on reshaping the U.S. Supreme Court by pushing through the nominations of Justices Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Coney Barrett. They dig into his willingness to be the villain to protect other GOP members, but also the frustration conservatives have with his failure to fight harder for less spending and not being more aggressive on certain policy goals. And, of course, they preview the fight to replace McConnell as leader.

Then they document the shady exemption to California's new law raising the minimum wage for fast food workers from $16 to $20 per hour for establishments that bake their own bread on site and sell it individually. This seems to be a specific carve out for Gov. Gavin Newsom's friend and donor who owns a bunch of Panera franchises in the state.

Finally, they assess today's dueling border visits from Biden and Trump, what we can glean by the different areas of the border they are visiting, and why Biden's eagerness to reverse anything Trump did in office is coming back to bite him hardest at the border.

Join Jim and Greg for three big new martinis!

First, they slam French President Emmanuel Macron for publicly refusing to rule out sending troops to Ukraine. But they were glad to see the U.S., Great Britain, and Germany immediately shoot down the notion that such a move was on the table..

Then, they dig into a Washington Free Beacon story about how the border crisis is overwhelming a small, fairly progressive community in Whitewater, Wisconsin. The city is scrambling for money after services for migrants put it in a $400,000 budget bind. Meanwhile, drug activity and STD's are on the rise. And this is happening in plenty of other communities in this country.

Finally, they scratch their heads as President Biden told reporters that he thinks an Israel-Hamas ceasefire will be in place this weekend. Yet the Israelis, Hamas, and Qatar all publicly say there hasn't been much progress at all on any of the major issues that need to be addressed before a pause in fighting can happen,

The good martini is back today, so please join Jim and Greg for that plus the usual bad and crazy ones.

First, they welcome New York City Mayor Eric Adams embracing a blatantly obvious reality and urging the New York City Council to amend its sanctuary city law and allow for illegal aliens who commit felonies to be handed over to ICE and deported.

They also sigh as a Pentagon report examining the failure of Defense Sec. Lloyd Austin and his staff to inform President Biden and many other relevant personnel for several days when Austin was in the hospital last month determines there should be no reprimands given out because no one intended any harm.

Finally, in the wake of the U.S. Air Force service member who fatally set himself on fire to protest U.S. and Israeli policy towards Gaza, they marvel at the viral online lament that people aren't allowed to protest, march, or go on hunger strikes (all untrue) which then adds hijacking rioting, and throwing Molotov cocktails to the same list.

There are no good martinis to start the week but Jim and Greg are ready to dig into one horrifically bad martini and two crazy ones.

First, they're incensed over the death of nursing student Laken Riley, allegedly at the hands of a Venezuelan man who entered the U.S. illegally. In addition, the suspect was arrested for assaulting a child in New York City but officials there released him before Immigration and Customs Enforcement could take him into custody. In addition, rather than focus on either of those policy problems, the mainstream media quickly decided that the real story here is that women face risks when jogging alone and, of course, that Republicans are pouncing on this terrible news.

Next, they get a kick out of RNC Chairwoman Ronna Romney McDaniel announcing she will resign in the next couple of weeks and trying to make us believe that major party chairs regularly step down in the middle of a presidential election year.

Finally, there is increasing buzz about former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley running as a third party candidate. But, as Jim points out, her current campaign creates a very big problem if Haley wants to switch gears for November.

Join Jim and Greg as they return to their usual good, bad, and crazy martinis and head into the weekend!

First, they welcome the decision from a New York appeals court that New York City's efforts to allow 800,000 non-citizens to vote in local elections is unconstitutional. Limiting voting to citizens is a no-brainer but Jim fears this issue will eventually wind up at the U.S. Supreme Court.

Next, they react to the news that CBS not only laid off stellar reporter Catherine Herridge but seized her files, computers, and records, including information about confidential sources. Even SAG-AFTRA is denouncing CBS in very strong terms. Just how big of a threat is this to the freedom of the press?

Finally, they shake their heads as former Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill (who is now an MSNBC contributor) blasts the New York Times for fact-checking President Biden because she thinks they aren't aggressive enough in calling out Donald Trump's falsehoods. This feeds into the maddening view of some on the left who genuinely see the role the media as doing everything it can to help Biden and defeat Trump.

Sit back and enjoy all crazy martinis today, as Jim and Greg survey cringeworthy stories from the United Nations to the campaign trail to the White House.

First, they sigh as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield says from a prepared statement she is pursuing a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war and will tirelessly pursue diplomacy "until we reach a final solution." Does no one in her office have a decent grasp on history or have the sense to take that phrasing out of her comments?

Not to be outdone in the dim bulb department, a poll taken after the pro-Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. ad during the Super Bowl reveals that 36 percent of likely voters think that RFK Jr. is actually his father, Robert F. Kennedy, who ran for president in 1968 and was assassinated during that campaign.

Finally, reports confirm that Pres. Biden's dog, Commander, is responsible for 24 biting incidents - mostly against Secret Service agents - and nearly half of them required medical attention. This is the second Biden dog known for its rampant biting, and while Jim says this isn't the most critical issue facing our nation, it does reveal some disturbing trends.

Join Jim and Greg for three compelling martinis focusing on major 2024 headaches for Joe Biden, with a bit of relevant pop culture thrown in.

First, they're stunned by a new Siena College poll showing Donald Trump ahead of Joe Biden by nine points among Jewish voters in New York. Given Biden's 38-point win among Jewish voters four years ago, that would be a major shift in response to Biden's handling of the Hamas terrorist attacks, the ensuing war, and the rampant anti-Semitism expressed on college campuses and beyond.

Next, they dig into the ever-worsening problem of food inflation. While year-over-year inflation is down from 40-year highs, we're still paying for all of those increases. Plus, restaurant and grocery costs are still rising and having a very real, devastating impact on American families.

Finally, even lefty Ezra Klein is urging Biden to pack up and head off into retirement. Beyond the question of whether the president can do the job for another four years, Klein says Biden isn't even in shape to campaign this year.

Join Jim and Greg as they break down what Biden is reportedly considering on the border, the interest on our debt rapidly spiraling out of control, and an ex-GOP campaign figure telling Dems to declare Biden a "great" president.

First, they assess an Axios story about how Biden is considering executive action that could significantly reduce the number of people illegally flooding into our country. He allegedly wants to claim that he taking action on the issue while Republicans just talk about it. Taking this action would not only confirm what conservatives have been screaming this for years about executive action, but, if done right, would actually do some good - even if it's only an election year ploy.

Then they fume at the news that paying off the quickly accumulating interest on our $34 trillion+ national debt will cost more than defense spending this year. Higher interest rates are the reason for the higher payments, but reckless spending is the reason that higher interest rates were needed. And neither party has any interest in even discussing possible remedies for our debt.

Finally, they get a big laugh out of former Republican campaign official turned Lincoln Project figure Stuart Stevens pleading with Democrats to go beyond arguing that Biden is preferable to Trump and start declaring Biden to be a "great" president.

Please pause your celebrations of Benjamin Harrison and James Buchanan on this Presidents Day and join Jim and Greg for good, bad, and crazy martinis.

First, after a few opening thoughts on how celebrating Washington and Lincoln has now been diluted into recognizing all presidents and how we can reverse this, Jim and Greg dig into an ABC News report on how the strongest states economically are predominantly red states. However, the story spends much more time asserting that better weather and progressive cities in red states are the key to success and attracting more businesses and employees. However, the real reasons are simple: lower taxes, right to work laws, and less regulation.

They also welcome a more formal State Department Inspector General investigation into the rather abrupt dismissal and stripping of security clearance for Biden's Iran envoy, Robert Malley. The Semafor story breaking the news also lays out red flags concerning Malley before Biden even took office.

Finally, they welcome Egypt's foreign minister getting fed up with Hamas for refusing to recognize Israel and failing to renounce its genocidal tactics in order to bring a ceasefire to the area.

And please enjoy the Presidents Day special Jim and I did about four underappreciated presidents back in 2020. https://www.spreaker.com/episode/america-s-underappreciated-presidents--22780285

Jim Geraghty is back today as he and Greg serve up three compelling martinis to close out the week!

First, they take a look what seems to be the devastating case exposing the lying and corruption of Fulton County, Georgia, District Attorney Fani Willis. She is now in serious legal danger after lying about the details of her personal relationship with a man she hired to prosecute former President Trump on racketeering charges. Even more serious, her lover paid for their lavish vacations on the office's credit card. He and Willis claim she reimbursed him in cash so there no way way to confirm it.

They also groan as President Biden is either caught in another lie or another senior moment. Just days after Biden denied forgetting when his son died and claimed to remember being angry that he was even asked about it, NBC News reports that the special counsel did not ask about it. Biden brought it up and got it wrong. They also discuss how Biden's enraged tough guy act is pathetic and tiresome.

Finally, they highlight the criminal incompetence of Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson. This week, Johnson said he was ending the city's contract with ShotSpotter, the audio technology that alerts police when and where gunshots are fired. Johnson also said he planned to keep the technology until after this summer's Democratic National Convention. But the company says without a contract, it's shutting down the service today.

Undisputed King of Stuff, columnist, and longtime Ricochet Editor-in-Chief Jon Gabriel is in for Jim today.

Today, Jon and Greg react to Russian President Vladimir Putin saying he prefers President Biden over former President Trump, calling Biden "more experienced and more predictable." Trump calls it a compliment while Biden supporters say Putin is trying some reverse psychology.

They also recoil as Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell tells National Review he doesn't know how U.S. ammunition and ordnance will get replenished unless the Ukraine aid bill gets passed. Regardless of what anyone thinks of assistance for Ukraine, why in the world is our own national security dependent on this legislation?

Finally, Jon takes an extra shot of espresso as he flays the latest efforts to urge people to stay away from coffee. Last time, the fun police said coffee was harming the planet. Now they claim caffeine is dangerous to your health. Jon isn't buying that for a second.

Join Jim and Greg as they tackle two big stories involving the House of Representatives and an absurd idea from a California U.S. Senate candidate that would plunge us into economic disaster.

First, they're pleased to see the Republicans muster just enough votes to impeach Homeland Security Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas. It would have been much better to get this done right the first time and Mayorkas will undoubtedly be acquitted in the Senate, but the impeachment is richly deserved and it gives Republicans a chance to highlight the Biden border chaos during an impeachment trial.

Then they sigh as the Democrats comfortably pick up another House seat as former Rep. Tom Suozzi wins the seat vacated by the expulsion of Republican Rep. George Santos. Donald Trump says the GOP candidate didn't embrace him enough. Other critics suggest the party is too closely identified with Trump and dysfunction in Washington. So what does this tell us might be coming in in November?

Finally, they shake their heads as California Rep. Barbara Lee calls for a $50 per hour minimum wage in the latest California U.S. Senate debate and explain why her plan would create an economic catastrophe.

Today, Jim and Greg once again take the rare step of bringing a special guest to the 3 Martini Lunch. Today, they welcome in former White House Press Secretary Dana Perino, who is now co-host of "The Five" and "America's Newsroom" on the Fox News Channel. She was also a moderator for one of the Republican presidential primary debates.

They begin with a discussion of the White House press office, how Perino approached the job during the final years of the George W. Bush administration, how Karine Jean-Pierre is handling the duties, and where the blame properly lies for the communications problems within the Biden White House.

Next, they turn to the 2024 presidential campaign and why Perino believes the report from Special Counsel Robert Hur amounts to the "death knell" for the Biden re-election campaign. They also examine how to maintain viewer interest when the major party primaries are very one-sided, and her thoughts after seeing the results of the Nevada GOP primary.

Finally, they reflect upon Perino's opportunity to co-moderate one of the Republican primary presidential debates, what it was like to be in the middle of the fray, and why she believes the current format of debates no longer serve the public well.

Join Jim and Greg as they share some thoughts on the Super Bowl and dive into two big political stories.
First, they have generally positive reviews of the Super Bowl, other than the fact that the game seemed to last forever. They were pleased there was no officiating controversy that played a huge role in deciding the game like there was last year and we didn't seem to be inundated with too much woke indoctrination in the ads.

Then, they wince as Wisconsin Rep. Mike Gallagher surprisingly announces he will retire from Congress at the end of this year. While clearly disagreeing with Gallagher's decision to vote against impeaching Homeland Security Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas, they point out Gallagher is usually a very reliable conservative vote and he is doing good work exposing the threat that the Chinese Communist Party poses to the United States.

Finally, they hammer President Biden's low-energy, mumbling nonsense about how he is fed up with "shrinkflation" and companies charging the same amount for less product. Not only does Biden pretend this isn't directly related to his inflationary policies but Jim points out that this exposes his own false narrative about the supposed success of "Bidenomics."

Join Jim and Greg as they break down many aspects of what may be one of the most damaging days to Joe Biden's presidency.

First, they begin with the news that Special Counsel Robert Hur is recommending no charges against Biden despite his conclusion that Biden "willfully retained and disclosed classified material.” But Biden's day got much worse very fast when Hur said one of the reasons there would be no charges is because a jury would likely see Biden as "a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory," who could not remember when exactly he was vice president or when his son, Beau, died. That left the Biden team crowing about the absence of charges but denouncing one the of the key arguments about why there should be no charges.

Then they break down the disastrous Biden press conference, in which he denied disclosing any classified material, blamed any improper storage of classified documents on his staff, and then wrongly said Abdel Fattah El-Sisi was president of Mexico instead of Egypt.

Finally, they shake their heads at assertions that the reporters at the press conference were behaving in an "awful" and "revolting" manner and wonder what Biden's communications team was thinking setting up this press conference in the first place.

Join Jim and Greg for three very revealing martinis today.

First, they welcome Democrats from Pennsylvania and Ohio begging President Biden to reconsider his pause on liquefied natural gas exports to some countries because it's bad for their states' economies - not to mention an obvious effort to pander to environmental activists.

Then they're stunned to see Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy admit on national television that "undocumented Americans" are the "people we care about most" in the immigration debate. But as as absurd as that thinking is, Jim thinks Murphy just handed Republicans a huge gift for this election cycle.

Finally, they chronicle how President Biden's verbal stumbles, lapses in memory, and overall mental decline are now obvious multiple times per day. The latest examples include forgetting the name of Hamas and repeated telling a story from 2021 and referencing leaders from France and Germany who not only haven't held office this century but have been dead for years.

Join Jim and Greg as they document the potential good news and definitely bad and crazy news for the Republican Party.

First, they react to the news that Republican National Committee Chair Ronna Romney McDaniel will reportedly resign following the GOP South Carolina primary later this month. They chronicle her very unimpressive record on elections, fundraising, and leadership, and how tough the job will be for whoever follows her.

Then, they grimace as House Republicans fail to pass two very high-profile pieces of legislation on Tuesday, namely the impeachment of Homeland Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and military aid for Israel. It is a very slim majority for the GOP, but knowing whether you have the votes to pass things is should be obvious.

Finally, they're unimpressed as Donald Trump suddenly says it's time to let bygones be bygones with Bud Light after the Dylan Mulvaney fiasco from last year, because he thinks Anheuser-Busch is a good company. But there seem to be other reasons for this sudden declaration.

Join Jim and Greg as they dive into three big martinis today!

First, they welcome Dartmouth's decision to once again use the SAT as a factor in admissions. Not only is it one of several valuable tools when considering an application, but Jim's reporting also shows that efforts to get rid of the SAT actually hurt minority applicants.

Next, they groan as the U.S. military response of warning Iran when and where our airstrikes would happen obviously did nothing to correct Iran's antagonistic behavior - as evidenced by another attack that killed six people working alongside the U.S.

Finally, they get a good laugh from Democrats pretending they care about having a secure border and trying to position themselves as the hawks and Republicans as obstructionists if the GOP opposes one particular bill. The latest example is MSNBC's Al Sharpton suddenly calling the illegal immigration crisis an "invasion."

Join Jim and Greg as they dissect horrible polling numbers for President Biden, an easy win for him in the South Carolina primary, and the absolute non-starter of a border security bill.

First, they dig through an NBC poll showing Biden not only trailing Donald Trump but getting trounced by large margins on issues ranging from border security to the economy to crime to America's standing in the world. And the approval numbers for Vice President Kamala Harris are even worse than Biden's.

They also shudder as the early warnings about the contents of a border security bill are proven accurate - from allowing nearly 5,000 illegal entries per day in perpetuity to liberally issued work permits for those waiting to have their alleged asylum claims ruled upon.

Finally, polling regularly shows that Democrats are leery about having President Biden as their nominee again in 2024 but you'd never know it by how easily he crushed his low-profile rivals in Saturday's South Carolina primary. Turnout may have been exceedingly low, but it's obvious that neither of his challengers provide much appeal for the base.

Join Jim and Greg for good, bad, and crazy martinis to wrap up the work week!

First, they're impressed as the U.S. economy added 353,000 jobs in January - nearly double the amount expected. They also discuss the potential political impact of reports like this on the 2024 campaign and some additional caveats to the strong numbers.

Then they sigh as squad member and Massachusetts Rep. Ayanna Pressley accuses Walgreen's of racial discrimination for closing a second store in her district instead of exploring what other reasons the company would have for shutting down that location.

Finally, they fume after a shocking report from Red State shows how the Republican National Committee recklessly spent of money on flowers, limousines, consultants, and office supplies, while the Democratic National Committee focused expenditures on Get Out the Vote campaigns, maintaining voter files, and helping other Dem organizations. And the news only gets worse from there.

First, they fume as the Biden administration is reportedly considering public recognition of a Palestinian state, possibly with no conditions whatsoever. Whether it's really under consideration or just a diplomatic tool to pressure Israel, Jim and Greg explain why this is a terrible idea.

Then they groan as far left radicals Rashida Tlaib and Cori Bush are the only two House members to oppose a resolution barring members of Hamas and Islamic Jihad from coming to the U.S. - as well as anyone else proven to be part of the October 7th attacks against Israel.

Finally, they shake their heads as District of Columbia Attorney General Brian Schwalb says arrests and prosecutions are not going to solve the rampant carjackings and other crimes engulfing our nation's capital.

Join Jim and Greg as they dish up three big martinis today and update one from Tuesday.

Before the first martini, they respond to unnamed Trump advisers suggesting a "holy war" against Taylor Swift if she publicly endorses Biden. Instead of just ignoring it if that happens, the former president's team seems committed to the worst possible strategy.

Then it's on to the good martini as the House Homeland Security Committee approves two articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas, who has incessantly lied to the American people about the border being secure and under control - and has done nothing to stem the tide of people entering the U.S. ilegally.

Next, they get a kick out of an Iran-backed militia group, that was likely behind the deadly attack on U.S. forces in Jordan, saying it won't attack any more so there's no need for a U.S. military response. Sorry terrorists, it doesn't work that way!

Finally, they recoil at prominent Silicon Valley figure Bryan Johnson not only trying to stay alive for hundreds of years, but now saying he wants us to "divorce from all human norms, all human customs, and all human thought" and turn us into "blank slates."

Join Jim and Greg today for the return of the good martini, a very important bad one, and a highly-spirited crazy martini that either indicates a sinister left-wing plot, the rescue of Western Civilization, or just maybe, something in between.

First, they are pleasantly surprised to see a serious prosecution and sentencing for the IRS contractor who leaked President Trump tax returns to the media.

Then, they're a bit puzzled as to why the Pentagon is so sure that Iran doesn't want war with the U.S. But Jim also fumes as President Biden refuses to make any public statement on American forces being killed by Iranian proxies but will likely address it and the U.S. response to donors at a private dinner tonight in Florida.

Finally, Jim and Greg address the notion that the Taylor Swift-Travis Kelce relationship is a psychological operation orchestrated by Democrats and is designed to help Biden get re-elected. They explain why the psy-op theory doesn't hold up, which cynical theory makes more sense, and what to conclude if the relationship is genuine.

First, they're furious over Iranian-backed militia forces targeting, killing, and wounding American troops in Jordan. What is the best way to punish Iran now since President Biden's "proportionate" approach did not deter the first 150 attacks?

Then they cringe as White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre completely mangles a short message of condolences for the families of the American personnel killed in Jordan and even suggests our military fights for the Biden administration.

Finally, they dissect the latest insanity from Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar after she says her first loyalty is to Somalia followed by Islam. Is America anywhere on her short list?

Former Chief Assistant U.S. Attorney and National Review Contributing Editor Andy McCarthy is in for Jim today, and he and Greg serve up three lousy martinis.

First, they roll their eyes as the United Nations' irrelevant International Court of Justice orders Israel to stop committing acts of genocide in Gaza, must allow aid to flow in, and must not destroy evidence of alleged genocide. The court did not demand an immediate ceasefire, which South Africa had requested.

They also groan as President Biden suspends liquefied natural gas exports to certain nations due to climate change concerns. Andy explains how this is a major giveaway to Russia and they both shake their heads over how Biden appears to be caving to environmental activists in pretending that natural gas is bad for the planet.

Finally, they get a kick out of a Yale University law professor arguing that the self-described originalists on the Supreme Court must boot Donald Trump from the ballot or they will be hypocrites and...of course...the legitimacy of the Supreme Court will be damaged.

There are no good martinis today but there are two very important bad ones and a crazy one too!

First, they dive into Texas Gov. Greg Abbott insisting that Texas will keep defending the border because the Biden administration has chosen not to, and he says the Constitution is clearly on his side. Meanwhile, some Democrats want President Biden to take federal control of the Texas National Guard because Abbott is allegedly defying an order from the U.S. Supreme Court.

Then they recoil at a new poll out of the West Bank. They expected a disturbingly high percentage of residents there to consider the October attacks by Hamas against Israel to be "legitimate resistance." They were not ready for zero percent of them to say it was "illegitimate resistance." How do you hope to ever reach any sort of stability when virtually all people there think what Hamas did was OK.

Finally, they scratch their heads as Donald Trump lashes out at Nikki Haley donors and says that, going forward, anyone who donates to her is banished from MAGA forever.

The New Hampshire primaries are in the books and we've got two martinis reviewing the votes and one other truly crazy idea.

First, they applaud Minnesota Rep. Dean Phillips for getting nearly 20 percent of the vote on the Democrats' side even though the primary was non-binding. They also appreciate him being only one of the few Democrats bothering to speak with Trump supporters and not writing them off as unredeemable like President Biden often does.

Then they react to Donald Trump's double-digit win over Nikki Haley in the Republican primary. And with Haley winning a large majority of unaffiliated voters, does this indicate that these voters are gettable for the GOP or were they just creating mischief?

Finally, they react to conflicting reports that Vladimir Putin is seeking to restore additional territory that once belonged to Russia - including Alaska.

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome a new Harvard-Harris poll showing 80 percent of Americans support Israel against Hamas. But way too many voters aged 18-34 still think Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.

They also dig into Jim's outstanding Morning Jolt from this morning, explaining how the Biden campaign and other Democrats are focusing the 2024 campaign on the notion that "democracy is at stake" and using it to avoid addressing many different failures of this administration.

Finally, their anger percolates as a World Economic Forum "agenda contributor" suggests drinking coffee is clearly damaging the Earth.

Join Jim and Greg as they start the week with three bad martinis, although the last one also contains a whole lot of crazy.

The start with the inevitable but disappointing news that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is suspending his campaign. It's hard to think of candidates with stronger conservative principles and a record of accomplishment, but there were serious flaws with the campaign and there was one simple fact DeSantis had no chance of overcoming.

They also fume as Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport sent out a tweet on Saturday warning travelers of pro-Palestinian demonstrators blocking roads around the airport. But the airport also called them a "group in vehicles exercising first amendment rights." But that is completely untrue. So why do these radical activists not suffer any consequences?

Finally, they shudder at new polling showing that most Americans think government has too much control while the elites and Ivy League graduates overewhelmingly think there is too much individual freedom. And just wait until you hear what they advocate to fight "climate change."

Join Jim and Greg as they serve up two bad martinis and an obvious crazy one!

First, they urge states and the federal government to slam the brakes on the electric vehicle movement after the recent cold snap found EV drivers in Chicago with rapidly depleting batteries, needing to constantly spend time recharging, with some left without functioning batteries at all.

Then they offer a double-fisted bad martini as President Biden shows more evidence he's completely unfit for the presidency. They note his bewildering statement about airstrikes on the Houthis not stopping Houthi aggression in the Red Sea but insisting the strikes would continue anyway. Then he gives a speech mentioning that he just took a photo with a local congresswoman only to remember a moment later that the lawmaker wasn't even there.

Finally, they have fun with California Rep. Ted Lieu leading America in the charge against...glue traps to catch rodents. Jim wonders what's really behind the legislation and the whole farce reminds them of a campaign from years ago.

Undisputed King of Stuff, columnist, and longtime Ricochet Editor-in-Chief Jon Gabriel is in for Jim today. He and Greg have three doozies for martinis today.First, they loudly cheer new Argentina President Javier Milei for going to the World Economic Forum in Davos and boldly championing free markets and denouncing excessive government regulation and collectivist policies. Why aren't more American conservatives able to defend freedom and condemn government intrusion so well?

Next, they hammer the FBI for snooping on our purchases and searches (without warrants of course) and apparently determining that people who shop at Cabela's, read the Bible, or support Donald Trump are some sort of threat.

Finally, they roll their eyes and unload on a few House Republicans for threatening to boot House Speaker Mike Johnson for agreeing to another continuing resolution on federal spending. The frustration is certainly understandable but, for multiple reasons, simple math tells us that vacating the chair won't solve anything.

After briefly congratulating Asa Hutchinson for finally recognizing reality and ending his White House bid, they dig into new poll numbers in the swing state of Georgia showing President Biden eight points behind Donald Trump and even doing very badly among women and black voters. His negatives are sky high and some usually reliable Democrats say they plan to stay home.

Then they bang their heads on their desks as the Biden administration finally decides to label the Iran-backed Houthis as terrorists (as they were during the Trump years) but Biden is applying a different terrorist label that carries much less harsh consequences than the previous designation did.

Finally, they take a bit of a break from politics to get a laugh from yesterday's press conference in Tampa, as a reporter asks Buccaneers Head Coach Todd Bowles if he has plans acclimate his team for cold weather when it plays in Detroit on Sunday - apparently having no idea that Detroit has played indoors since 1975.

Trump's margin of victory was considerably bigger than the vote totals for either Ron DeSantis or Nikki Haley.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour Host Scot Bertram is in for Jim. Today, Scot and Greg serve up all crazy martinis. First, they walk through the bizarre saga of Defense Sec. Lloyd Austin being in the ICU with post-surgery complications and no one apparently telling the President of the United States, the National Security Adviser, or even the Deputy Secretary of Defense for four days.

They also roll their eyes at a new study suggesting higher taxes on sodas and other sugary drinks work to lower consumption and the change is permanent. Instead, they point to people just buying the drinks where they cost less and the government often failing to spend the money where it promised to when the taxes were approved.

Finally, they sigh at a new survey of employers showing significant percentages of them are weary of Gen Z applicants - many of whom do not dress well, have outlandish expectations in compensation, lack a strong work ethic, and even bring their parents to job interviews.

We've made it to the first Friday of 2024! And Jim and Greg are ready to serve up three martinis - right after Greg shares a fantastic 'Die Hard' story.

They start the martinis on the lighter side by reacting to an Axios story outlining tensions in the White House press office as Karine Jean-Pierre and John Kirby split duties in the press room and neither one is particularly is happy about it.

Then they did into Jim's reporting on the Houthi militia causing so much havoc in the Red Sea that several major shipping companies are refusing to risk attacks and taking the long way to the west around the southern cape of Africa. This will add to the prices we pay for the goods on board. But Jim also points out that Chinese ships are getting a free pass from the terrorists into the Red Sea.

Finally, they also note this week's ISIS terrorist attacks against Iran at the memorial service for Gen. Soleimani. The blast killed 80 people and injured more than 280 others. Jim and Greg have similar reactions to the news but offer completing ideas to how the U.S. should approach hostilities between two detestable entities.

Join Jim and Greg as they did into three major stories and parental discretion is advised on the first one.

First, they react to the initial revelations of Jeffrey Epstein's contacts, what it means and doesn't mean about their conduct, and the many important questions about Epstein that remain unanswered.

Then they hammer Homeland Security Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas for suggesting the record number of illegal immigrants is due to climate change, poverty, and authoritarianism in other nations - not the failed policies that triggered this wave of humanity since day one of this administration.

Finally, President Biden prepares to make his re-election campaign about him being the only one who can save our democracy - at the very same time Democrats in multiple states are refusing to hold primaries and denying Biden's challengers and voters a chance their shot at a democratic outcome.

After no good martinis to kick off the year on Tuesday, Jim and Greg have two on tap for today!

First, they welcome the resignation of Harvard University Pres. Claudine Gay following scandals over her congressional testimony about speech advocating genocide on campus plus dozens of examples of plagiarism in her academic work. They also get a good laugh as CNN wears out its Thesaurus trying to defend Pres. Gay's academic work.

Then they dissect new poll numbers showing President Biden at just 38 percent approval and doing very poorly among Hispanics and young adults. Jim explains why Gen Z and some millennials are fed up with Biden.

Finally, another year and another round of indictments for New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez. This time the allegations concern his relationship with Qatar but there are still gold bars involved. Jim wonders why so so few Democrats are doing much of anything to force Menendez out of office or at least off of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, which has access to classified information.

Happy New Year! Well, after nearly two weeks since our last regular episode, we have found nothing resembling a good martini. Not the greatest omen for 2024. But we do have three important bad martinis, at least one of which has a whole lot of crazy to it as well.

First, they weigh in on the Maine Secretary of State unilaterally deciding that former President Trump is disqualified from this year's primary ballot. Plus, they respond to Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin - himself an election denier in 2016 - stating that Justice Clarence Thomas must recuse himself from any decisions on Trump's ballot access and hinting that there may be consequences if he doesn't.

They're also disgusted (but not at all surprised) that Congress spent $7.5 billion to produce 500,000 electric vehicle chargers and so far, it either has one or none to show for it. Jim also breaks down how this is another example of how why free market is far better than central planning.

Finally, Jim details the shady decision by a Biden official to overrule the unanimous recommendation to build the new FBI headquarters in Virginia and award it to Maryland instead.

Jim and Greg close out 2023 with the finale of this year's 3 Martini Lunch Awards. Today, they give our their prestigious choices for Person of the Year and Turncoat of the Year. Then they finish with predictions for 2024.

On Person of the Year, Jim looks to the 2024 presidential field for his first selection before adding a second, less known choice based on his powerful reporting overseas this year. Greg chooses a couple of GOP lawmakers who could end up having a big role in 2024.

For Turncoat of the Year, Jim chooses someone who not only had a bad year but it ending it on a very ugly note. Meanwhile, Greg names an entire movement that it curiously silent these days.

Finally, they offer predictions for the coming year. Initially, they both have decidedly pessimistic outlooks for 2024, but Jim ends the discussion with a surge of hope for Western Civilization.

Happy New Year! There will be no podcast on New Year's Day. Our usual 3 Martini Lunch format returns on Tuesday, January 2.

It's media day in our year-end Three Martini Lunch awards and Jim and Greg have plenty to say about how things were covered - if they were covered at all. Specifically, they look at the stories the mainstream media covered far too much, the ones they conveniently ignored because they didn't fit their narrative, and they highlight what they saw as the best stories of 2023.

First, they dig into the most overreported stories of the year, with Jim choosing a specific angle of a story he thought was given far too much attention and Greg going with the non-stop chattering about a completely pointless topic.

Then it's on to the stories the media didn't cover much or didn't want to cover. Jim points to media apathy concerning what may well be the greatest threat to American national security. Greg picks a horrifying tragedy that the media quickly stopped caring about when it reflected poorly on the left.

Finally, they reveal their selections for best stories of the year. Jim goes with a bright spot in an otherwise bleak story he covered closely this year. Greg opts for a member of Congress going above and beyond in a crisis - again.

Make sure to listen on Friday as Greg and Jim unveil their selections for Person of the Year and Turncoat of the Year. Plus, their predictions for 2024.

More year-end awards today! Jim and Greg embark on the second half of their six-episode series of the 3 Three Martini Lunch Awards. Today, they offer up their selections for the Best Political Idea, Worst Political Idea, and Boldest Political Tactics for the year.

They start with the best ideas of the year. Jim chooses an event that actually happened late last year but the true impact of it has been felt far and wide in 2023. Meanwhile, Greg's award goes to a critical policy movement that made significant progress this year.

Then it's time for the worst political ideas of the year, with both Jim and Greg finding so many terrible ideas that they both have multiple winners with no overlapping. Jim focuses on three terrible and simply wrong ideas pursued by the Biden administration on the international stage. Whereas, Greg highlights United Nations advocacy of a truly terrible idea that should horrify every parent. And he cites a governor's effort to blatantly defy the Constitution.

Finally, they're on to boldest political tactics for 2023, with neither of them agreeing with the tactics they chose to honor. Jim starts with a move made in the 2024 presidential campaign that was widely unpopular but has undoubtedly worked well. And Greg points to am aggressive and disruptive move on Capitol Hill.

Don't miss Thursday's special edition as Jim and Greg reveal their choices for Most Overreported Story, Most Underreported Story, and the Best Story of 2023.

We hope you had a wonderful Christmas! Jim and Greg are back today for the third round of the Three Martini Lunch Awards. Today, they discuss the Biggest Lie, Best Political Theater, and Worst Political Theater of 2023.

They start with the biggest lies of the year. Jim kicks things off my questioning the conventional wisdom that seems to be building from recent polls, while Greg takes aim at a lie that the right has been fighting for decades.

Then it's time for the best political theater of 2023, with Jim choosing some important events connected to American politics and Greg finding his winner far south of the border.

Finally, they cringe remembering the worst political theater of 2023. Jim chooses a very troubling fact we see playing out almost every day in our national politics and Greg looks back at an ugly moment in state politics that gripped the nation.

Please join us on Wednesday as Jim and Greg hand out their awards for Best Political Idea, Worst Political Idea, and Boldest Tactic for 2023.

Join Jim and Greg as they offer the second installment of their highly coveted year-end awards. Today they remark on the people connected to politics that they're most sorry to see pass away in 2023. They also share their choices for rising political stars and those who appear to be fading into political oblivion

They begin with those who left us over the past year. Jim chooses two friends involved in the political world who left suddenly and far too young. Greg mentions three figures, including a prominent conservative from across the Atlantic and a respected journalist in Washington.

Then it's on to a much happier subject as they consider the rising political stars for 2023. They both choose Republicans on Capitol Hill - one of whom is frequently in the spotlight and other who is often working behind the scenes.

Finally, they agree on the political name most likely heading into oblivion after 2023. But Greg tosses out one other name near the top of his list who emerged from relative anonymity onto the national stage and now seems headed back to obscurity.

There will be no 3 Martini Lunch on Christmas Day. Join us on Tuesday as we consider the categories of Biggest Lie, Best Political Theater, & Worst Political Theater.

Merry Christmas and thank you for listening to the 3 Martini Lunch!

Today, Jim and Greg begin handing out their prestigious annual 3 Martini Lunch Awards! Starting today and running through next week, they reveal their choices in categories ranging from rising star to best and worst political ideas to the stories the media ignored and the ones they could not stop talking about. And it all builds up to Friday of next week when Jim and Greg reveal their Person of the Year, Turncoat of the Year, and their predictions for 2024.

In this first installment, they offer their individual selections for Most Overrated Political Figure, Most Underrated Political Figure, and Most Honest Political Figure. Jim and Greg are largely in agreement on whom they see as the most overrated political figure of the year, although they come at the selection from different perspectives.

When it comes to underrated political figures, they both pick presidential candidates but for very different reasons.

Finally, Jim's choice for the most honest political figure is someone he would have never imagined just a few months ago, while Greg picks one of the few lawmakers who have no problem calling out his own side.

Don't miss Friday's special edition, when Jim and Greg list the political figures they were sorry to see pass away in 2023. They'll also name their rising stars over the past year and people who seem to be fading into political oblivion.

Join Jim and Greg as they cheer Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin for making a strong case to permanently kill the horrible car tax that resident have to pay every year simply for owning a car. But will the idea go anywhere with Democrats controlling the legislature?

Then they dig into the Colorado Supreme Court's decision to ban Donald Trump from the 2024 Republican primary ballot because he allegedly led an insurrection, and that disqualifies him under the 14th Amendment to the Constitution. But with no criminal charges of insurrection and a political acquittal, does the court have any grounds to do this? The U.S. Supreme Court will decide.

They also blast White House National Security Council Spokesman John Kirby for trying to convince us that we really didn't leave tens of billions worth of military equipment behind in Afghanistan.

Finally, be sure to catch Jim and Greg handing out their prestigious 3 Martini Lunch Awards starting Thursday and running through the end of the year. They'll reveal their choices for the most overrated and underrated political figures, rising political stars and figures fading into oblivion, beast and worst political ideas, best and worst political theater, and overreported and underreported stories of the year. At the end of next week, they will announce their choices for Person of the Year, Turncoat of the Year, and make predictions for 2024. Join us tomorrow for all of the fun!

Join Jim and Greg as they dissect a New York Times poll that the Times itself insists is proof that Biden needs to be less supportive of Israel in order to keep young people voting for him. Jim gets a kick out of the Times trying to help Biden while actually hurting him and explains why it's doing a terrible job of reading the poll.

They also issue a parental advisory as they reflect on the 25th anniversary of the GOP-led House of Representatives impeaching Bill Clinton. Jim explains why he believes time vindicates the Republican position and they consider the larger political and cultural ramifications of Clinton getting away with his deplorable behavior.

Finally, they roll their eyes as Donald Trump absurdly calls conservative Texas Rep. Chip Roy a RINO simply for supporting Ron DeSantis - and also for urging someone to challenge Roy in the primary even though the filing deadline was last week.

Join Jim and Greg as they enjoy reports suggesting Biden is frustrated with his advisers because the American people continue to think he's doing a lousy job. And Democrats down the ballot are getting worried he could become a drag for them too.

They also fume as Iranian proxy groups targets American forces for the 100th time in the past two months. Biden's responses have been extremely timid and the media are dutifully downplaying the reports of these attacks.

Finally, they sigh as new polling shows a disturbingly high percentage of young adults diagnose themselves with "menu anxiety." They are very uncomfortable speaking with waiters and waitresses, fear ordering something they may not like, and some ask others at the table to speak to the waiter on their behalf.

Jim and Greg finish off the week with three important martinis, right after they give the very predictable update of that Hamas official from yesterday saying his comments were "taken out of context" and that he does not support the recognition of Israel.

Then they give credit to former New York Times Editorial Page Editor James Bennet for savaging the paper by evolving from taking sides in debates to shutting down opposing viewpoints and serving only as an echo chamber for progressives about a world that doesn't really exist. Bennet was ousted in 2020 after running an op-ed from Sen. Tom Cotton that argued for bringing in troops to quell the riots in American cities. That decision led to a newsroom revolt at the Times.

They also scratch their heads over reports that the White House intern letter demanding a ceasefire in the Middle East was started in a group chat by someone none of the interns knew. Jim explains why that story raises multiple serious concerns.

Finally, they shake their heads at the obvious double standard as Boston officials take heat getting caught holding an "Electeds of Color" holiday party, to which white city council members were not supposed to be invited but accidentally were.

Join Jim and Greg as they discuss a Haaretz story quoting a Hamas official arguing that it's time for the terrorist organization to follow the PLO's lead and recognize Israel. Have two months of intense military operations caused some Hamas figures to seriously reconsider their radicalism or is this simply a tactic designed to attract some more international sympathy?

They follow that up with a new poll that shreds the ongoing narrative that there is a wide gulf between Hamas and what the Palestinian people want. The survey shows 72 percent of Palestinians support the Hamas atrocities on October 7, even when considering what has happened since.

Finally, a bit closer to home, they react to a CBS poll showing that no matter how clever lawmakers think they are in naming legislation, many Americans still have no idea the bills exist.

Join Jim and Greg as they once again serve up at least two good martinis, and possibly a third.

First, they applaud House Speaker Mike Johnson for demanding major action on border security as part of any deal to continue aid to Ukraine. And Jim fumes that Biden could have done this deal months ago, all to his own political benefit but his refusal to acknowledge the reality at the border is costing him dearly.

They also get a kick out of Hunter Biden trying to avoid his gun charges by claiming the Supreme Court's Bruen decision in 2022 means a gun buyer should no longer have to answer whether he is a current or former drug user. It's a case that puts his own interests at direct odds with his father's prioritites on the Second Amendment.

Finally, they examine the deal Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin seems to have made to lure the Washington Capitals and Washington Wizards to a new home across the river from D.C. They're pleased to see most Virginia taxpayers don't appear to be on the hook for the cost but nothing is finalized yet and there are some other concerns.

It's bad and crazy martinis today after a Monday full of good news.

Join Jim and Greg as they wince over CNBC's Rick Santelli offering a painful much much-needed explanation of compounding inflation - far from the White House narrative that Biden has it under control. He doesn't.

They also roll their eyes as Al Gore takes a reasonable concern - social media pushing questionable posts to the top of your feed due to the level of engagement - and makes the absurd argument that these posts are damaging to democracy, are the "digital equivalent of the AR-15" and ought to be banned.

Finally, they cringe as the Biden administration fails to reply to family members of remaining hostages in Gaza who asked to attend the lighting of the White House menorah. Meanwhile, the husband of Vice President Harris completely butchers his explanation of Hanukkah.

First, they watch new Argentinian President Javier Milei with great interest, especially after he shuttered 12 of 21 government ministries on his first day in office. What impact will these libertarian principles have on the nation and beyond?

They also breathe a sigh of relief for Houston, Texas. While they have no great expectations for incoming Mayor John Whitmire, they're glad that voters rejected longtime far left Texas Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee by a wide margin.

Finally, they discuss a survey of college students showing 86 percent support the phrase "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free." Yet only 47 percent know which river and sea are involved. And the good news is that the vast majority of students who realized that the chant implies the eradication of Israel then oppose it.

They also recoil at the comments of CAIR Executive Director Nihad Awad, who referred to October 7 as Gaza removing the shackles and leaving its concentration camp and alleged Gaza has the right to self-defense but Israel does not. And they note how quickly the Biden administration is now pretending it did not have a warm relationship with CAIR up until the speech.

Finally, they react to the latest reporting from Michael Shellenberger showing how a cyber threat entity inside the Pentagon was allegedly turned into an effort to confront "disinformation" from Americans online.

They also recoil as far-left Washington Rep. Pramila Jayapal says she condemns the rampant Hamas rapes of Israelis but then plays "both sides" by equating it to civilian casualties suffered in Gaza when Israel attacks Hamas military assets.

Finally, they hammer John Kerry for declaring he wants to prevent any new coal-fired plants in the world and the U.S. for signing on to a dubious fund supposedly designed to help developing nations recover from climate change - but the United Nations says it will need $250 billion per year by the end of the decade. And they note how a reporter covering the conference in Dubai publicly defended all these elite climate activists taking scores of private jets to the event.

Former federal prosecutor and National Review Contributing Editor Andy McCarthy is in while Jim Geraghty is under the weather. Today, Greg and Andy discuss new sanctions from the U.S. Treasury Department against individuals and entities helping for finance Iran's military and IRGC. But Andy explains why this step is hardly bold considering Iran's recent actions against the U.S.

Andy also breaks down the legal and constitutional impact of Special Counsel Jack Smith not only demanding many different details about President Trump's Twitter account but also Smith demanding the information of anyone who like, retweeted, or otherwise engaged with Trump in the months leading up to January 6th.

Finally, they test out Andy's postulate that Democrats only prosecute other Democrats to protect Democrats. Is the FBI publicly digging into allegations of illegal fundraising in Adams' orbit and possibly his ties to Turkey because that's where the evidence leads or because Adams is now a thorn in the side of the Biden administration?

Join Jim and Greg as they wince at a new Bloomberg reports showing how much more Americans are paying for food, electricity, water, rent, childcare, and much more. But the report is an important rebuttal to the Biden administration's gaslighting that the inflation problem has been solved.

They also groan at reports that just one day after Biden reasonably said he does not trust casualty figures from Hamas, the president buckled under criticism from Muslim leaders, said he was ashamed of himself and promised to do better.

Finally, they have some fun as Education Sec. Miguel Cardona appears to quote President Reagan unironically as having said he was from the government and was here to help. Of course, that's exactly the opposite of what Reagan said.

They're also thrilled that some women and children held hostage by Hamas are now home but they are wary of the growing pressure for Israel's military pause to continue, which is a big advantage for Hamas.

Finally, they examine the mysterious car explosion at the U.S.-Canada border last week, early reports of terrorism, and the media's habit of dropping a story when the narrative suddenly changes.

It's Black Friday, the day retailers offer major deals to get shopper through their doors or online and hopefully guarantee finishing in the black for the year. Continuing a long 3 Martini Lunch tradition, Jim and Greg each offer up three gift ideas to political figures.

In the first round, Jim brings a practical gift for FTX founder, con man, and convict Sam Bankman-Fried while Greg finds a lovely present to break some tough news to Vice President Kamala Harris.

Next, Jim thinks of a gift President Biden can use on a daily basis while Greg offers medical appointments to prominent leaders who desperately need them.

Finally, Jim comes up with a gift to benefit his favorite football team in the relatively near future and Greg hopes his final offering can bring some political peace.

Enjoy the rest of your Thanksgiving vacation! Travel safely and join Jim and Greg again on Monday when they return to their usual format.

Continuing their long Thanksgiving tradition, Jim and Greg unveil their lists of things they are politically thankful for, although this year they don't stick as close to politics as they have in past years. Jim reflects on last week's Pro-Israel march in Washington and the stark contrast to the hateful and often violent demonstrations we've seen from the left for many years. Greg explains why he's thankful for Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin despite a disappointing year for Republicans in the commonwealth.

Then it gets more personal, as Jim discusses how thankful he is for his family and that we never know how many Thanksgivings they will have together. He urges you to find common ground with your loved ones beyond politics. Greg echoes Jim's thoughts but also highlights the many aspects of life for which we need to be thankful and to Whom we need to be thankful.

Finally, Jim gives thanks for the gift of humor to help us through one difficult news cycle after another, while Greg is grateful for the states giving parents more options on where to send their kids to school and how to pay for it.

There will be no episode of the 3 Martini Lunch on Thanksgiving Day. Join us the next day for our Black Friday special, when Jim and Greg select gifts for various political figures.

Join Jim and Greg as they appreciate new research from Trinity University in Ireland and The Ohio State University showing that the climate alarmists are way off and that increased carbon dioxide is absorbed by trees and others plants and makes them stronger - just like we learned in basic biology class.

They also wince as the Biden administration continues to tread very lightly with Iran despite more than four dozen attacks on U.S. positions in the Middle East by Iran proxy groups and the hijacking of a ship in the Red Sea by Iran-backed Houthi rebels.

Finally, they get a good laugh out of a USA TODAY story bemoaning the serious injuries illegal immigrants are suffering by falling off of our new 30-foot high border walls. And of course, there's no suggestion that the migrants are responsible for their own actions. No, it's the wall's fault - and the people that wanted it.

Join Jim and Greg as they serve up three critical martinis after opening with thoughts on the passing of former First Lady Rosalynn Carter, who died Sunday at age 96.

Then they react to libertarian Javier Milei's dominant win in Argentina's presidential race amid a massive economic crisis there. They also note Milei's unconventional approach to politics and the media's reflexive opposition to him.

They also chronicle a Fox News poll showing showing voters trust Republicans to deal with issues ranging from the border to foreign policy and from crime to government spending - by a wide margin. And an NBC poll shows President Biden with his worst numbers yet. But can Republicans actually capitalize on all this?

Finally, they fume as Politico shifts from constantly demonizing any GOP calls for spending restraints to suddenly noticing out-of-control spending and huge interest payments on the debt - and are now demanding the House GOP majority do something about it.

Join Jim and Greg as they serve up two good martinis and a bad one to wrap up the week. First, they welcome Major League Baseball quietly announcing the 2025 All-Star Game will be in Atlanta, never mentioning that it removed the game from Atlanta in 2021 under the absurd pretext that Georgia's new voting laws were racist and constituted voter suppression.

They're also glad to report that were some positive results in last week's Virginia elections, including a final reckoning for the Loudoun County prosecutor and school board who covered up a sexual assault in the name of diversity and even prosecuted the father of the victim instead of the perpetrator.

Finally, they dive into Elon Musk endorsing a post on X alleging Jews have a
"dialectical hatred of whites."

George Santos likely committed multiple federal offenses in allegedly defrauding his own constituents and others for his personal gain. In addition, they're pleased to hear Santos will not run for re-election, meaning this bizarre episode will be over - at least politically - in just about a year.

They also break down the unrest Wednesday night as pro-Palestinian protesters clashed with police outside the Democratic National Committee headquarters in Washington. And Jim wonders where the outrage or even interest in this story is from the mainstream media.

Finally, they unload on the new TikTok trend where young leftists claim they just read Osama bin Laden's "Letter to America" following the 9/11 attacks and disturbingly conclude that the Al Qaeda leader who was responsible for nearly 3,000 deaths that day now seems to make a lot of sense.

Join Jim and Greg as they celebrate the huge, peaceful, civilized rally in support of Israel on Tuesday, an event which brought a very welcome contrast to the violent, hateful demonstrations seen on campus and beyond against Israel and even supportive of Hamas.

They also wince at reports that President Biden is planning to sign a deal with Chinese dictator Xi Xinping to limit the use of artificial intelligence in nuclear weapons systems and drones because China won't honor anything it signs if it has a strategic interest in violating the agreement.

Finally, they size up Tuesday's near fight on Capitol Hill between Oklahoma Sen. Markwayne Mullin and Teamsters Union President Sean O'Brien with Bernie Sanders intervening to stop it. And former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy was part of a dust-up on the House side of Capitol Hill.

They also sigh as House Republicans still cannot seem to agree on much - the latest evidence being the failure to impeach Homeland Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, who so richly deserves to get the boot. There's also the fight over government spending as the Freedom Caucus refuses to get behind another continuing resolution backed by House Speaker Mike Johnson.

Finally, they say no way as New York Gov. Kathy Hochul announces she has created a social media analysis unit to crack down on hate online. While there is too much hate online, giving the government more power over our speech is a recipe for disaster.

They also throw up their hands as Politico confirms that President Biden is incapable of governing and campaigning like a normal president. But instead of arguing he should retire, the piece suggests strategies for the Biden campaign to cover up the president's liabilities and bring in veteran campaign officials to get him over the finish line.

Finally, they shake their heads as San Francisco officials prove they can clean up the city within the budget when a bunch of foreign leaders are coming to town but they won't do it on a daily basis for the taxpayers who pay the bills.

Joe Manchin announcing he will not run for the U.S. Senate again in 2024 and will instead travel the nation "to see if there is interest in creating a movement to mobilize the middle." Andy and Greg assess the impact another third-party candidate might have on the outcome next year.

They also dig into the Nashville police refusing to release the manifesto from the Covenant School murderer and suspending several officers for their alleged role in leaking a few pages from the document. Andy explains why he sees this as another maddening example of our two-tiered justice system.

Finally, they get a big laugh out of NBC trying to label Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis a hypocrite for saying politicians' kids should be left out of political arguments because he's publicly critical of 53-year-old Hunter Biden.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour Host Scot Bertram is in for Jim. Today, Scot and Greg dissect a poll showing President Biden with a 52 disapproval rate in deep blue California. Republicans have virtually no chance to win the state but there is clearly widespread dissatisfaction in Biden's performance.

They also recoil at the news Associated Press and Reuters photojournalists were embedded with Hamas during their ghastly slaughter of Israelis on October 7. Some of those photographers also freelanced with CNN and the New York Times. This raises so many questions about what the news organizations may have known ahead of time and how they dealt with learning their employees were there and possibly even participating.

Finally, they groan as Michigan leftists makes plans to set up solar and wind farms on 209,000 acres of the state and have stripped local leaders from being able to refuse these projects in their jurisdictions. And even that huge amount of land isn't enough to meet the 100 percent renewable energy mandates set for 2040.

Finally, they wonder when the Republican Party will have some tough discussions about the path forward and whether any of that will come up in tonight's GOP presidential debate.

Then they kick off the martinis with a focus on Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds endorsing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for president. How much does her endorsement matter and will we actually get a competitive primary?

They also shudder at the news that our annual interest payments on the national debt are now more than $1 trillion per year. It's an issue that both parties have intentionally ignored for decades and the consequences are going to be ugly.

Finally, they roll their eyes as Florida Rep. Jared Moskowitz insists that lousy polls for President Biden over the past two years are merely a "messaging issue."

But will he? Who would replace him? And this poll most damaging to Republican presidential candidates claiming that Donald Trump is unelectable?

They also slam former President Barack Obama for suggesting "all of us are complicit" for the ongoing mess in the Middle East. Jim outlines many of Obama's failed approach to the Middle East that coddled Iran and put far more pressure on Israel than the people who don't want Israel to exist.

Finally, they shred Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib for trying to claim that the chant "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" is about "peaceful coexistence" and not a call for violence and genocide.

Jim spent more than a week in Taiwan, getting first-hand briefing and answers to key questions about how our ally is bracing for a possible Chinese invasion. Today, Jim briefs us on what he learned - the good the bad and the crazy.

First, Jim explains the significant advantages Taiwan has in the event of Chinese aggression. From the physical characteristics of the island to the massive urban setting and even jungle conditions in other areas, China would face a hostile environment in addition to a hostile population.

Then Jim details the sobering assessment that China will likely attack within the next several years. He also shares how Taiwan's lack of formal independence gives it a second-class status in several important ways - from the United Nations to being ignored by Interpol and the World Health Organization.

Finally, Jim reveals some of the intense and amusing sidelights, from being caught in an earthquake to the quirks of other journalists on the trip to his overt jealousy of the superior engineering of Taiwanese toilets.

They also fume over the ongoing dearth of coverage of the approximately 10 American hostages still held by Hamas nearly a month after the attack. And now we also learn that Hamas refuses to let some 600 American residents leave Gaza without major concessions. Why are media outlets so quiet about these Americans being held against their will?
Finally, they look ahead to next week's off-year elections in several states and wonder whether Democrats can win by talking almost exclusively about abortion and when Republicans will start defending their positions more effectively.

And Jim breaks down how anti-Semites convince themselves that the demonization of Jews justifies any horrible deed in their minds.

Finally, they hammer Politico for running a ridiculous story investigating whether Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis likely places lifts into his boots to appear slightly taller. And Jim explains how this type of "journalism" has made our country and our politics dumber.

Jim says that last week we witnessed "the American intifada" on U.S. college campuses and it's obvious there are plenty of others around the world who feel the same hatred.

Finally, they serve up a double crazy martini over Rep. Dean Phillips challenging President Biden for the Democratic presidential nomination. It's crazy because very few Americans know who Phillips is but the reaction on the left that this new campaign is a threat to democracy is also insane.

But Andy is very concerned that the Biden administration refuses to get tough with Iran, who is clearly collaborating with Hamas, Russia, and the Chinese.

Andy also breaks down the open letter from Sen. Chuck Grassley alleging that dozens of whistleblowers have told him the FBI and Justice Department are refusing to follow up on key evidence of the Biden family corruption and are actively trying to bury it all.

Finally, Andy walks us through the incredibly generous deal offered to New York Rep. Jamal Bowman for intentionally pulling a fire alarm to delay a House vote late last month. New video proves Bowman's story to date is false. Andy explains why Bowman should have been charged with disrupting a congressional proceeding and why this sweetheart deal of a $1,000 fine and the charge not staying on his record permanently was done.

Then they serve up their martinis, starting with the unsurprising revelations that parents in states with new school choice laws are loving the freedom to choose the right schools for their kids and use their own tax dollars to pay for it through vouchers. And of course the left is furious,

They also chronicle the onslaught of anti-Semitism that is only intensifying on many college campuses - from students at the University of Washington calling for the end of Israel and Zionists to a Northwetern University professor cheering on and accommodating demonstrators who cut class to the terrifying scene at Cooper Union in New York City, where Jewish students had to be locked in the library to protect them from a pro-Hamas protest that was banging on the doors and screaming at them.

Finally, they fume over the thoroughly predictable debt catastrophe that is already bad and about to get MUCH worse. And both parties are to blame.

Join Jim and Greg as they serve up a couple of mixed martinis and a crazy one. First, they applaud decorated veteran and Florida Rep. Cory Mills for going to Israel to rescue Americans trapped in the fighting there - but they're frustrated (and so is Mills) that private citizens once again need to do the Biden administration's job to bring Americans home. They also welcome a new Fox News poll showing 71 percent of Americans - including 82 percent of independents - think we need stronger border security and 57 percent want a border wall. That's a big change from just a few years ago. Finally, they cringe as former President Trump slams Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu for allegedly backing out of cooperation on the the strike that killed Iran's General Soleimani in 2020 - just four days after the worst terrorist attack in the modern state of Israel.

Finally, they implore the House Republicans to find common ground and pick a Speaker of the House the entire GOP conference can get behind.

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome former Texas Rep. Will Hurd's realization that he has no chance at the GOP presidential nomination and is dropping out. They also rip former NSA and CIA Director Gen. Michael Hayden for responding to a call for Sen. Tommy Tuberville to be removed from a Senate committee assignment (presumably over his hold on military nominations over abortion policy) by asking whether Tuberville ought to be removed from the human race. Finally, they scratch their heads as the White House called a press lid before noon on Tuesday, meaning President Biden would not be in public for the rest of the day, and the White House feed on X was chattering about combatting junk fees and excessive credit card fees.

Timestamps:

0:35 - Former Texas Rep. Will Hurd ends GOP presidential bid.

6:51 - Former NSA and CIA Director Gen. Michael Hayden suggests Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville should be removed from "the human race."

12:39 - Tone-deaf White House keeps Biden under wraps, feed on X focuses on issues like junk fees.

Jim and Greg devote today's podcast to three critical aspects of the horrific terrorist attacks perpetrated in Israel by Hamas over the weekend the worst mass murder of Jews since World War II. First, they chronicle the unconscionable acts of terrorism, torture, rape, and abduction by Hamas - and how the only proper description of the actions is pure evil.

Then they walk through the Biden's administration's refusal to confirm Iran was intimately involved in the planning of the attacks even after Hamas and others admit that's exactly what happened. They also detail how weakness projected by the Biden administration in Afghanistan and in its constant groveling before Tehran to strike a new nuclear agreement likely emboldened Iran.

But they also note that there will likely be significant political consequences in Israel over the failure to prevent or detect the attacks.

Finally, they fume over the very predictable responses from some politicians, media figures, and activists blaming Israel for the carnage or at least creating a moral equivalence between the terrorism and the Israeli military response.

Chad and Jim close out the week by celebrating that Iowa Democrats have accepted the terms of surrender, and the Democratic Caucus will move back to Super Tuesday.

Meanwhile, that border fencing from the Biden team is much less than it meets the eye - this is just an attempt to avoid legal and political headaches of not spending money that they're legally required to spend.

And In the aftermath of this week's test of the National Emergency Alert System, the guys chew over the fact that the National Emergency Alert System has never been used in an actual national emergency, which raises the question of what the point of it is...

Greg is still off on vacation, leaving Chad and Jim to break down the consequences of the House voting to remove Kevin McCarthy as speaker.

Meanwhile, a new poll from Gallup shows Americans hungering for a third major party on the political landscape, and the lack of a Speaker of the House means that, at least for a little while, Washington Democratic senator Patty Murray would be president if, God forbid, something bad happened to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

Let's all hope the White House staff is being really careful with sandbags, microphone wires, and stairs in the coming days.

GOOD: New from Gallup:

Although both parties are about equally disliked, the public chooses the Republican Party over the Democratic Party by healthy margins when asked which will better safeguard the nation’s prosperity and security.
* Fifty-three percent of Americans believe the Republican Party will do a better job of keeping the country prosperous over the next few years, whereas 39% choose the Democratic Party. * A slightly larger majority, 57%, have greater faith in the Republican Party to protect the country from international terrorism and military threats, while 35% favor the Democrats.

BAD: So what's the point of Matt Gaetz's doomed motion against House Speaker McCarthy? What does it get anybody, other than more attention on Gaetz?

CRAZY: The Trump campaign formally calls for the cancellation of all future debates. Nobody votes until January 15.

As Greg heads off on vacation, he and Jim break down the current state of the 2024 presidential campaign for Republicans and Democrats. Does Trump have a stranglehold on the GOP nomination despite big negatives with the general electorate and four major legal fights looming next year? And do his leads in some polls against President Biden undercut the DeSantis argument that he is the better bet next year?

They also dissect where the Democrats stand. Biden has a massive lead among Democrats but his polling is terrible, especially on the economy. Will Democrats roll the dice and stick with Biden in hopes Trump is even more unpopular? Will they move on to Vice President Harris, whom very few in the party seem to have any confidence in? Or will Gov. Gavin Newsom or some other Democrat emerge the worse Biden's health and poll numbers get?

Finally, they consider the Senate map for 2024, where Republicans could gain seats, where they risk wasting more good opportunities, and much more.

Finally, they reflect on her decision to stay in office as her health problems mounted but also remember one moment that gave conservatives a smile. In other news, Jim and Greg consider the looming government shutdown as the fiscal year comes to a close and the House Republicans, who missed their opportunity to be in a much stronger negotiating position against Senate Democrats and President Biden. Finally, they slam former President Trump's suggestion that the Republican National Committee should just cancel the rest of the primary debates and move on to helping him with the general election.

Katie Britt for calling out the media for their lack of interest in the horrific reality faced by countless women and children as they illegally come to America. From repeated rapes to drownings to staying indebted to the cartels after arriving, Sen. Britt says it's a far cry from the American Dream. Then they dissect the second GOP debate held Wednesday night at the Reagan Library in California - from the strongest moments to the chaotic crosstalk to some extremely lame jokes.

They also shudder at a Semafor report showing that Iran infiltrated the Obama and Biden administrations as well as the media to push for softer relations toward the mullahs in Iran and the pathetic Iran nuclear deal.

Inez lays out an infuriating series of bureaucratic insanity that wasted time and prioritzed woke goals over people's lives. Finally, they shake their heads as the California Republican Party voluntarily surrenders on a multitude of issues - and not just the cultural positions that are unpopular in the state but on several key issues where the public agrees with the longstanding GOP platform.

Timestamps:

0:45 - Analysis of the first GOP presidential debate, focusing on DeSantis, Ramaswamy, Haley, and Pence.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour Host Scot Bertram is in for Jim. After a quick GOP debate preview, Scot and Greg tackle three heavy issues. First, they highlight a progressive cities climate group that admits it wants to end meat and dairy consumption and private vehicle ownership - preferably by the end of this decade. They also want drastic reductions in clothes purchases and air travel, and 14 U.S. cities have already signed on to this global initiative. They also dissect a new poll showing 56 percent of Republicans and 20 percent of Democrats think our nation is in danger of failing and discuss why that's the case. Finally, they shudder at a new report from the University of Michigan showing huge increases in binge drinking and marijuana use among Americans aged 35-50. And the numbers among younger adults is pretty bad too.

Timestamps:

0:58 - Previewing Wednesday's GOP presidential debate

3:11 - New global progressive cities climate group admits radical 'green' goals on meat and dairy consumption, private vehicle ownership and much more.

Former Chief Assistant U.S. Attorney and National Review Contributing Editor Andy McCarthy is in for Jim. After Andy and Greg explain where Jim is this week, they highlight the cold hard facts of the impact "Bidenomics" is having on American families - everything is much more expensive and the president wants you to grateful for it. Andy also breaks down the latest revelations in pathetic prosecution of Hunter Biden after emails from Biden defense lawyers show Biden was going to avoid prosecution altogether until the IRS whistleblowers went public. Oh, and they want the whistleblowers prosecuted. Finally, they marvel at how Donald Trump will totally overshadow the Wednesday debate he is skipping because his booking on Thursday will smother coverage of any big moments on the debate stage.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour Host Scot Bertram is in for Jim. Today, Scot and Greg serve up all crazy martinis. First, they react to Donald Trump's apparent decision to skip not only this week's first GOP presidential debate but to skip all of them. Trump does not see them as necessary given his big leads nationally and in key states, but there are several reasons why he may want to reconsider. They also shudder as Hawaii Gov. Josh Green admits it's possible or even likely that many of the more than one thousand people still missing from the Maui wildfires are children. But the grim news also raises a big question. How is the likely death of several hundred children not the dominant headline every single day? When looking at previous disasters, the answer seems to be a very predictable one. Finally, they're almost at a loss for words at the suggestion from a Chicago alderwoman that the number of shootings and killings can be reduced by asking gangs only to shoot people between 9 p.m. - 9 a.m.

Timestamps:

1:30 - Donald Trump states he will not be participating "in the debates," meaning he does not intend to take part in any GOP primary debate.

Jim and Greg begin today's podcast with a tribute to former New York Sen. James Buckley. The brother of National Review Founder William F. Buckley, Jr., Jim Buckley served the nation with honor in World War II and then in all three branches of the federal government, including chief judge of the DC Circuit Court of Appeals. He was 100 years old.

Then they serve up their usual martinis, starting with a new Monmouth Poll showing New Jersey Sen. Robert Menendez has just a 35 percent approval rating heading into an election year - thanks in part to yet another federal investigation examining allegations of corruption. They also wince at all the apparent mistakes made by local officials before and during the horrific wildfires that devastated Lahaina. Finally, they're curious why Trump is urging all the other Republican presidential candidates to drop out if he has such a huge lead.

Timestamps:

0:21 - Remembering former Senator and Judge James Buckley.

3:04 - New Jersey Sen. Menendez suffers low approval amidst another federal probe. Could the GOP have a chance to unseat him next year?

They also highlight how sales remain horrible for Bud Light and Target many weeks after boycotts erupted for their promotion of the left's cultural agenda. Then they slam YouTube for announcing it will censor any posts that contradict the policies of the World Health Organization. Finally, they sigh as the Deputy Health and Human Services Secretary lavishes praise upon an Alaska organization that wants women referred to as "egg producers" or the "gestational parent" and men as "XY individuals."

Finally, they react to reporting from National Review's Ryan Mills that a strong majority of Oregon voters deeply regret legalizing hard drugs. The impact on users and their communities is immense.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour Host Scot Bertram is in for Jim, who will be back tomorrow. Today, Scot and Greg start with a martini that's both bad and crazy. They welcome Minnesota Rep. Dean Phillips saying his party needs to move on from Joe Biden. But they do a spit take when Phillips suggests a "moderate" governor from the heartland and then the congressman and NBC's Chuck Todd list Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Illinois Gov. JB. Pritzker, and several others who aren't the slightest bit moderate. They also unload on the Biden administration's talking point that the economy is great and we just don't appreciate it. The latest evidence is that Americans paid $709 more in July 2023 than they did for the exact same goods and services than they did two years ago. Finally, they recoil at numbers showing 25 percent of American school students missed 10 percent or more of school days in the 2021-22 school year, which translates to 6.5 million more students than prior to the pandemic. They also go through Michigan's numbers, which are far worse than the national average. Scot calls it a "national emergency."

Timestamps:

1:30 - Special Counsel named in Hunter Biden investigation

2:35 - Dem Rep. Dean Phillips wants Biden to serve just one term and pass the torch to a "moderate" governor from the heartland. But Phillips and NBC's Chuck Todd prove they have no idea what a moderate is.

They also fume as the House Judiciary Committee uncovers evidence that FBI Director Christopher Wray lied to lawmakers about the extent of FBI monitoring of Catholic churches. Wray says only one field office was engaged in such tactics but now we know there were at least three. Finally, they react to the news that Kari Lake is planning to run for U.S. Senate in Arizona.

They also sigh as Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey announces a state of emergency due to the number of migrants pouring into her state. But instead of blaming the issue on the Biden administration's porous border or refusal to deport, she chalks it up to the government being too slow to approve work authorization for the migrants.

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.

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 House
12:17 - Disney theme park attendance surprisingly low this summer

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.

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?

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.

GOOD: Ron DeSantis commits to the first GOP debate, with or without Trump.

BAD: There's always been a contradiction between Musk's rhetoric on free speech and playing footsie with China, but Tesla pledging to enhance "core socialist values" is taking it to a new level.

CRAZY: I really want to see Ukraine win the war, but Biden's decision to send them cluster munitions strikes me as a move that is going to play very badly.

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. They finally opine on cocaine found in the White House, with "one familiar with the investigation" by the Secret Service saying the perpetrator is "unlikely to be determined".

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 principles

Some of our favorite episodes are the ones where you ask Jim and Greg questions and they offer their takes on politics, sports, pop culture or whatever else is on your mind.

Today, they analyze why people with no chance of being elected president decide to run for the office anyway and respond to a listener who wants the people to have a say on who Jim and Greg label as the poster child for generic Republicans.

They also take on a question about how to tame the administrative state and stop unelected government bureaucrats from making rules and de facto laws. Would it help to adopt a constitutional amendment explaining that power rests only in Congress?

And of course there's a question about "Die Hard." Specifically, should this epic film ever be rebooted, and if so, who should direct it and star in it?

Timestamps:

1:23 - Why do people run for president when they have no chance of winning
7:06 - Should listeners get to choose who we label as the poster child for generic Republicans?

Election Day 2024 is more than 16 months away, but the first Republican debate is less than two months away and voters in the first primary and caucus states will be casting their ballots in just a few months. Today, Jim and Greg examine the state of the campaign in three different ways.

First, they look at the Democratic primary. While President Biden has a commanding lead over Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Marianne Williamson, the enthusiasm - even among Democrats - is very low for another four years of Biden. Will the Democrats stick with Biden regardless of his approval numbers and mounting evidence of physical and mental decline?

Then they pivot to the Republican primary, where former President Trump has opened a big lead over Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis both nationally and increasingly in the states. Is the GOP base loyalty towards Trump locked in and virtually irreversible or is there an avenue for DeSantis or anyone else to close the gap.

Finally, they preview a likely Biden-Trump rematch and consider how much the electorate has changed in the past few years. Will Biden's poor performance be enough of a boost for Trump or will Trump's focus on 2020 and his legal challenges lead to another four years for Biden?

Timestamps:

1:07 - The Democrats are gambling on Joe Biden again
9:18 - The curious case of Kamala Harris
10:48 - The GOP primary. Has the base already sided with Trump?
18:57 - Would Biden-Trump II be different than Biden-Trump I?

Jim Geraghty is back! After a brief discussion about the confusing Russian coup, Jim and Greg dive into three domestic issues today. First, they're happy to see the White House press corps - even some of the usually compliant members - demanding answers about President Biden's apparent involvement in Hunter Biden's business deals after Biden repeatedly insisted he knew nothing about them. They also roll their eyes as former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who has been in Congress for more than 36 years, calls for term limits for Supreme Court justices. Finally, they push back hard after Attorney General Merrick Garland suggests any accusation of political favoritism coming from the Justice Department is "an attack on an institution that is essential to American democracy." Jim shreds Garland for suggesting criticism of the DOJ is somehow out of bounds, when it's one of our most basic rights and freedoms.

They also fume as IRS whistleblowers tell Congress that the Justice Department repeatedly meddled in the Hunter Biden investigation by tipping off Hunter's lawyers at times, forbidding the U.S. attorney from opening multiple investigations, and discouraging the investigation of incriminating messages. Finally, they shudder athe the legislative push in Ireland to "restrict freedom for the common good," which is always the argument for the government stealing our liberties and giviing itself more power.

They also roll their eyes as a group of House Democrats asks the Biden administration to ease sanctions on Venezuela in order to help the beleaguered Venezuelan people, as if the people would see an ounce of benefit compared to the corrupt communists running the country. Finally, they groan as former Texas Rep.

They also cringe as the latest Washington, D.C. violent crime statistics show a big increase over last year and as Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson prioritizes taxpayer-funded housing for illegal immigrants over addressing the Windy City's huge crime problem.

First, they note another indictment of Donald Trump, this time by federal prosecutors over alleged mishandling of classified documents. They also break down the bizarre political fallout we're likely to see from all of this and are surprised by an unlikely skeptic of the charges. They also groan as they discover Virginia allows voters to sign up on a list that automatically sends them absentee ballots for every election. It's a recipe for mischief and suspicion, and asking people who want to vote absentee - most of whom could easily show and vote - to make a ballot request for each election is not asking very much. Finally, they react to reports that Joe Biden's threat of "consequences" against Saudi Arabia was met with Saudi threats of "not dealing with the U.S. administration anymore." So of course Biden caved.

Join Jim and Greg as they cheer the likely Senate rejection of Biden’s student loan forgiveness scheme. They then recoil over how ill-prepared the U.S. and Great Britain are to counter China's aggressive non-military tactics for achieving its goals against the U.S. Finally, they're staggered as Hunter Biden is planning to fight any forthcoming charges for lying on a federal gun purchasing form by arguing the Second Amendment should allow drug users to own firearms.

Join Jim and Greg as they sort through the agreement between House Republicans and the Biden administration to avoid default. Jim explains why he sees the deal as about as good as the GOP could do with the limited leverage it has. And they address complaints from many conservatives that the plan allows too much baseline spending and didn't accomplish some major goals. They also react to the European Union's demands that Twitter abide by its "disinformation" policies or risk getting banned from Europe later this summer. Finally, they discuss the FDA approval of human trials for Elon Musk's Neuralink brain implants and highlight the potential for amazing breakthroughs and disastrous unforeseen consequences.

Join Jim and Greg as they close out the week with two good martinis and a very bad one. First, they remain very pleasantly surprised at how strong the House GOP messaging has been throughout the debt ceiling debate - to the point where even much of the mainstream media is admitting it. They also breathe a sigh of relief as Doug Mastriano decided not to run for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania after getting crushed in the governor's race last year. Finally, they shudder as Democratic Massachusetts Rep. Seth Moulton sounds the alarm that the Pentagon has "no direction whatsoever" in confronting the role of artificial intelligence in the militaries of our adversaries and he says we don't have very long to prepare.

Join Jim and Greg as they walk through the good, bad, and crazy aspects of the presidential campaign launch of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis - from the glitchy start on Twitter Spaces to his strong articulation of a conservative vision for the nation to the obvious grifting of Trump critics who are aiming their venom primarily at DeSantis. They're also pleasantly surprised by a new Fox News poll showing more Americans would blame President Biden than congressional Republicans for defaulting on our debt. Finally, they fume at the very shaky premise for the IRS going to the home of Twitter Files reporter Matt Taibbi on the day he testified to Congress about government efforts to silence free speech - and the very shady way the IRS initiated it's investigation.

Join Jim and Greg as they break down three lousy martinis. First, they shake their heads as New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and state lawmakers order the closure of fossil fuel-based power plants in the state within seven years. That would take away nearly half of the state's energy supply and even state officials aren't sure how they will generate enough power to make up the difference. They also wince at the latest evidence that Sen. Dianne Feinstein is no longer able to serve as a senator, discuss the political implications of a resignation, and consider whether there is any good method for addressing these cases other than leaving the decision up to a lawmaker in obvious decline. Finally, they unload on Politico, not only for a nasty attack on Ron and Casey DeSantis, but for running with the accusation that Mrs. DeSantis is some sort of Lady MacBeth, just six months after Politico condemned the "Lady MacBeth trope" when it was used against Jill Biden and Giselle Fetterman.

Join Jim and Greg as they recount and analyze the key findings of Special Counsel John Durham, who has been investigating the FBI's premise for launching the investigation into alleged collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign during the 2016 elections. The conclusions are devastating to any remaining shreds of trust in our government: the collusion canard was created by the Hillary Clinton campaign and fed to the FBI, which launched a probe without a single piece of verifiable evidence. The Steele dossier was known to be false by late 2016 and yet top officials at the FBI and Justice Department signed off on FISA warrants that they knew were based on lies, and the Mueller investigation was launched under the same false pretenses. Jim and Greg have a lot to say about this. They also take a closer look at the publicly fraying relationship between President Biden and New York City Mayor Eric Adams, as the illegal immigration crisis engulfs the Big Apple and many other parts of the nation. Finally, they examine the pathetically low ratings of CNN, which is getting mauled by Fox News and MSNBC, and is now losing to NewsMax in prime time.

Join Jim and Greg as they break down Joe Biden's Plan B for 2024. As Jim explains, Biden was not supposed to run again. He was supposed to serve one term and have Kamala Harris run this time, except she has been a massive disappointment as VP. They also cringe over the record-setting number of illegal crossings at our southern border last week - more than 83,000. They also note the rapidly growing number of "gotaways" and how the administration is trying to cook the books on the upcoming numbers. Finally, they scratch their heads as the mainstream media contend Gov. Ron DeSantis has trouble saying that Trump lost the 2020 election, but Jim points out DeSantis was pretty clear during his comments in Iowa last week.

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. So reality smacks the green agenda in the face yet again. They also cheer the impending retirement of Maryland Democratic Sen. Ben Cardin after more than half a century of taxpayers footing his salary. A feeding frenzy among Democrats is already underway. Republicans are big underdogs but an open seat improves their odds. Jim wonders of Larry Hogan will reconsider after saying he had no interest in the race earlier this year. Finally, they welcome next week's end to vaccine mandates for federal employees and foreign visitors, and Jim suspects that by letting mandates die quietly, the Biden administration is silently admitting they were a terrible idea.

Jim Geraghty is back just in time to serve up three lousy martinis to start the week! First, Jim and Greg dig into what may be the worst breach of of top secret information since the Edward Snowden episode ten years ago and discuss what the damage might be to our national security. They also roll their eyes as the left, which constantly preens about norms and institutions, has several prominent figures urging the Biden administration to ignore a federal court ruling rejecting the FDA's approval of the abortion pill mifepristone. Finally, they break down how the government's unofficial war on natural gas has utilities looking to unload or repurpose pipelines and potentially setting up customers to have fewer and/or much more expensive energy options.

Join Jon and Greg as they cheer Ron DeSantis for calling out GOP leaders over many years for making conservative promises to voters and then failing to follow through on them. They also unload on White House spokesman John Kirby for trying to blame President Trump for the Afghanistan withdrawal debacle and for claiming he didn't see any chaos during the withdrawal operation. Finally, they react to the expulsion of two Democrats in the Tennessee legislature for leading an extended disruption on the floor of the chamber earlier this week and they address the dubious explanations from Democrats about what really happened.

Finally, they scratch their heads and wonder why former Arkansas Gov.

Plus, they note Majority Leader Steve Scalise calling out Biden for throwing up hurdles to domestic exploration while asking for help from nations that hate us. They also react to a Manhattan grand jury indicting President Trump over details concerning his payments to Stormy Daniels back in 2016. With even the Washington Post editorial board suggesting this is a bad idea, what will be the legal and political fallout now and down the road? Finally, they react to reports saying that CBS News is now telling its reporters not to mention that the Nashville killer was transgender.

Schultz explains how the American dream allowed him to rise from humble beginnings to achieve great wealth - a story Sanders had no interest in hearing of course. They also shudder at multiple reports that the Biden administration's Navy budget proposal doesn't even keep up with inflation, we're retiring vessels critical to deterring Chinese aggression, and within five years China's navy will have 150 more ships than we do. Finally, they roll their eyes as President Biden acts like he's an honorary member of another ethnicity - this time it's the Greeks.

They also dive into the debate over whether the Nashville killer's manifesto ought to be made public after the police say it will not be released while the investigation is active. What are the considerations for and against making it available? Finally, they sigh at another depressing poll, as Americans overwhelmingly think the federal government spends too much money but also strongly believe it spends too little on several key drivers of spending.

Join Jim and Greg as they devote today's podcast to discussing the horrific mass shooting at the Covenant School in Nashville, Tennessee, on Monday. The attack left three precious children dead, along with three adults who lost their lives trying to protect the kids. First, they honor the brave police officers who responded quickly to the crisis, immediately entered the school in an urgent search for the killer, and eliminated the threat within a few minutes without endangering anyone else. They also groan at news that the killer had detailed plans to attack three different locations and also texted a friend that she was going to die yesterday and that her death would be on the news. Finally, they fume as the media criticize police for referring to the killer as a woman (which is correct) instead of as a transgender man.

Please note: There is audio from the police bodycams of the moments when the killer was neutralized. That audio starts at the 2:24 mark. If you prefer not to hear it, you can skip to the 2:48 mark, when our conversation resumes.

Both Bragg and Milley are lauded as examples of apolitical devotion to their jobs. But the facts tell a very different story. Finally, they have fun with the Columbia University promotion of Hillary Clinton "running" again - but only to teach her new class on her experience in foreign policy.

They also react to the Politico report alleging Marianne Williamson is a terror as a boss and routinely flew off the handle and berated staff during her 2020 campaign. Does this matter much in a Democratic primary that's expected to be a blowout? And did this story arise organically or the Biden team decide to nuke Williamson before she even gets started? Finally, Jim explains how former Rep. Barney Frank would be the villain of the recent bank collapse scandal if he were a Republican. But he's a Democrat so the media flogging will probably never come.

You might need something stronger than a martini as Jim and Greg dig into three big stories today. First, they respond to the congressional testimony of former CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield, who said our top officials knew from the start that COVID likely came from a lab leak and then knowingly pushed a false narrative that the virus naturally occurred. And the maddening truth doesn't stop there. Then they tackle the gut-wrenching testimony of a U.S. Marine Corps sniper stationed at Abbey Gate on the day of the terrorist attack during the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan. Sgt. Tyler Vargas-Andrews says he and others had the bomber spotted and were ready to take him out but they never had permission to fire. And his frustration grew even more when no one in our government wanted to hear his story. Finally, Jim dissects California Gov. Gavin Newsom's condemnation of Walgreen's for refusing to sell abortion-inducing drugs in states where the retailer might get sued. Jim explains how Newsom frequently ignores the most basic responsibilities of governing and how he tries to distract his constituents from his terrible record.

The CNN discussion followed Haley's suggestion that every political figure over the age of 75 be required to take a mental competency test before serving, an obvious reference to President Biden and President Trump.

Chad Benson is in for Greg Corombos today, and the traditional good, bad and crazy order of the martinis is reversed, as Chad and Jim contemplate the third unidentified flying object shot down by the U.S. military in three days; another U.S. State Department warning to Americans in Russia to leave the country as soon as possible to avoid a ‘wrongful detention,’ and the intriguing potential of a presidential campaign by U.S. senator Tim Scott of South Carolina.

Join Jim and Greg as they applaud the congressional testimony of former FBI Special Agent Nicole Parker about how the politics of the FBI's leadership are affecting the work and the credibility of the bureau. But will shining the spotlight on this result in any meaningful changes? They also fume as new reporting on Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman's stroke and very difficult recovery prove that the campaign and Fetterman's doctor flat-out lied to the people of Pennsylvania and that Fetterman's inability to process what he hears is making it very difficult for him to do his job. Finally, they unload on the State Department for spending U.S. tax dollars through outside groups to muzzle conservative reporting through the Orwellian-sounding Global Disinformation Index.

Jim and Greg are pleasantly surprised to see bipartisan Senate criticism aimed at Transportation Sec. Pete Buttigieg over the Southwest Airlines meltdown over the holidays and the recent FAA computer problem that briefly grounded all flight in the U.S. They also cringe as a second local Republican official in New Jersey is murdered within a week. Whether politically motivated or not, the lack of interest from mainstream media outlets speaks volumes. Finally, Jim highlights his excellent reporting on numerous Chinese spy balloons over the U.S. and our allies in recent years. He also explains why the balloon going over Alaska should have raised many red flags - just as many as the balloon going over the continental U.S.

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome a shred of hope that Chicago voters might elect a new mayor who seems much more serious about crime - but they are not holding their breath. They also break down some of the biggest moments from President Biden's State of the Union on Tuesday - from bipartisan cowardice on entitlements, to Biden's delusions on energy, and more. Finally, they break down Biden's stunningly brief and vague comments on China and his bizarre, angry challenge to name one world leader who would want to trade places with Xi Xinping. Short answer? A lot of them.

Join Jim and Greg as they present two bad martinis and a crazy one. First, they highlight House Speaker Kevin McCarthy saying Social Security and Medicare cuts are not on the table in the fight over the debt ceiling. That rebuts Biden's false accusation but it also highlights how neither party has any intention of doing the work necessary to shore up these programs headed towards insolvency. They're also dizzy from the conflicting explanations of Chinese spy balloons during the Trump years. After Biden officials saying Trump did nothing about three different balloons, we now have some saying the U.S. never detected those balloons while other defense and intelligence officials reportedly did know but chose not to tell President Trump. Finally, they groan and brace for the political drudgery and theater known as the State of the Union address.

They also walk through Biden's decisions on the Chinese spy balloon, with Jim laying out a very compelling case that Biden botched this challenge from beginning to end. Finally, their minds are blown at the news that people are willing to pay nearly $100,000 for a jar of sand purported to be from the spot where Tom Brady filmed his retirement announcement.

They're also concerned about the spotting of a Chinese surveillance balloon over Montana near a key military site and discuss Biden's decision thus far not to shoot it down. Finally, they fume over the Biden administration's new climate agenda, which seeks to emulate the pandemic-era emissions levels by encouraging working Americans - and even students - to engage from home.

Join Jim and Greg as they cheer new Texas Rep. Wesley Hunt for blasting the left's narrative that conservative outrage over Biden border policies is rooted in racism rather than national security and trying to protect our communities from drug traffickers and human smugglers. They also respond to Hunter Biden imploring state and federal officials to prosecute people for accessing and disseminating his personal materials - a move which also admits once and for all that it was his laptop that President Biden and dozens of partisan intelligence operatives assured us was Russian disinformation. Finally, they wonder why California Sen. Dianne Feinstein insists on delaying the inevitable announcement that she will not seek re-election next year. They also assess Nancy Pelosi formally endorsing Adam Schiff in the Senate race.

Then, they fume as water-starved California lets 95 percent of the recent deluge of rain flush out into the Pacific Ocean in order to save the delta smelt in a key part of the state. Finally, they shake their heads as Democrats go from declaring Georgia Jim Crow 2.0 to a leading candidate to host next year's Democratic National Convention.

Jim and Greg give credit to CNN's Dana Bash for asking tough questions of the three House Democrats House Speaker Kevin McCarthy wants booted from their sensitive committees - and their answers were rather unconvincing. They also react to the latest "Twitter Files," exposing the powerful left-wing group Hamilton 68, which declared many Twitter accounts to be Russian bots or peddling Russian disinformation, when the vast majority were real people who just disagreed with the left's narrative on various issues. Finally, they react to President Trump's bizarre accusation that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis locked down his state far too long during the COVID pandemic, when the evidence is strongly to the contrary, and discuss why Trump is pursuing this line of attack.

The buses from red state governors are a drop in the bucket compared to the numbers of migrants being shuttled all over the nation by the federal government. They also react to Rep.

McCaul says the administration has been stonewalling on providing documents on how U.S. intelligence was so wrong on the advance of the Taliban, the deadly attack on U.S. service members outside the Kabul airport, and much more. They also shudder as a new report shows the U.S. is dangerously deficient in producing new weapons to replace the many munitions we're sending over to Ukraine. In other words, if the U.S. got involved in sustained military action, we could run out of key weapons in less than a week. Finally, they shake their heads as Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot's solution to the wave of street vendor robberies is to tell them not to conduct business in cash.

Can the GOP take advantage of a three-way race?

Wade. They also hammer President Biden for demanding no conditions whatsoever to an extension of the debt ceiling, even though his unconstitutional plan to "forgive" student debt by forcing the bill on other taxpayers caused this debate to happen months earlier than it should have. Finally, they roll their eyes at reports that Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack was tapped to co-chair the Supply Chain Disruption Task Force but never went to a single meeting.

They also fume as multiple school districts in Northern Virginia fail to tell National Merit Finalists of their awards out of fear of making those who didn't receive the honor feel badly. But they do cheer Gov. Glenn Youngkin for blasting the administrators in three separate districts for their decisions. Finally, they shudder as the supposed elites gather at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, to decide what sacrifices we're supposed to make in order to advance their global agenda.

Finally, they go through the latest lies uncovered about Rep. George Santos, whether we know anything about this guy, and whether he can stay in Congress.

Join Jim and Greg as they serve up a bad martini and a couple of crazy ones. First, they sigh as the mainstream press does damage control for the Democrats. Axios contends that Transportation Sec. Pete Buttigieg is just the victim of unfortunate circumstances and Republicans are the real problem for pouncing on his problems. Meanwhile, CNN chalks up the Biden classified document problem to the unease of Trump coming to the White House. They also get a kick out of Georgia Democrat Hank Johnson, who once worried that America's military presence on Guam might cause the island to tip over, openly suggesting that the classified documents were planted in Biden's office and garage. Finally, Jim fires back at the Club for Growth for launching an attack as against possible Indiana GOP Senate hopeful Mitch Daniels that greatly distorts his record as Indiana governor and president of Purdue University.

Join Jim and Greg as they assess the news that another classified document was discovered at Biden's Wilmington, Delaware, home. They also groan as New York Gov. Kathy Hochul plows forward with plans to ban gas appliances or gas hookups in construction in the coming years - even in the face of massive public backlash to the Biden administration's agenda on gas stoves. Finally, Jim comes ready to mock the latest lefty speech banning into oblivion as the University of Southern California and the State of Michigan decide that "field" - as in "field work" - is racist and offensive to people of color.

First, they cheer House Republicans for making good on their promise to pass legislation repealing funding for 87,000 new IRS agents and building a campaign issue against every Democrat who voted against it - which was all of them. They also shudder at the Biden administration's attempts to demonize gas stoves as increasing the odds of developing asthma and other ailments, but they are glad to see the intense pushback that appears to have forced the government to back down. Jim also notes an annoying and tedious tactic employed by Democrats on issues like this. Finally, they not only wonder about the health of our aviation sector after today's major computer problem triggered a ground stop across the nation, but are increasingly sure Transportation Sec.

Jim and Greg wade into the sharp debate on the right over how to approach Ukraine, Zelensky, and their war against Russia. Their biggest frustration is the accusations being lobbed from both sides at anyone who shows the slightest bit of nuance on the issue. They also hammer Republicans for going along with tons of earmarks in the new omnibus bill - wasting countless more taxpayer dollars on frivolous projects. And they react to the Florida GOP pushing for the ouster of Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna Romney McDaniel and wonder why so many RNC committee members are so loyal to a leader with a pretty dismal electoral record.

They also shudder as the Taliban bans women from attending university in Afghanistan and all the U.S. can say in response is that this might damage the Taliban's standing in the international community. Finally, they react to Stanford University's "Elimination of Harmful Language Initiative," which wants to end our use of words like American, ladies, guys, and many more words and phrases constantly used without any ill intent.

They're also furious as Philadelphia public schools plan to impose a mask mandate on students when they return in January just as the damage done to poor and minority students in California from being out of school becomes clearer.

Finally, they wonder what exactly Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg does following reports he was vacationing in Portugal just a week before the nation was threatened with an economy-crippling railroad strike.

Jim and Greg welcome the 14-year prison sentence handed down to former attorney and cable news darling Michael Avenatti for his crimes of corruption and they warn supporters of both parties not to fall in love with celebrities who happen to say a couple of things you agree with. They also slam Senate Republicans for being way too helpful in passing the Democrats' lame duck agenda. That strategy apparently includes passing an omnibus spending bill instead of a short-term bill that would give the new House GOP majority much more leverage on appropriations. Finally, as former National Security Adviser John Bolton weighs a 2024 presidential run, they don't believe his candidacy would go anywhere or be decisive in derailing President Trump.

Ronchetti was also very effective at calling out the governor for imposing lockdowns she violated on numerous occasions. They also cringe over the latest consumer inflation numbers that come in worse than expected and prove higher prices aren't going anywhere for awhile.

And they dissect President Biden's "60 Minutes" interview, in which he's frustrated that people aren't happy that inflation has plateaued somewhat in recent months and completely bungles his Taiwan policy again.

They also notice the odd trend of Democrats like New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and Washington Sen. Patty Murray refusing to debate their Republican opponents. And they may have sprained their eyeballs as the very rich Patagonia founder Yvon Chouinard presents himself as a socialist who regrets becoming so wealthy and is now dedicated to saving the planet.

Join Jim and Greg as they breathe a sigh of relief that a rail workers strike is averted, although they're curious to see the terms of the agreement. They also sigh as Biden again claims costs are going down as he hails the announcement. They're also pleasantly surprised to see New York Times columnist Tom Friedman scolding the left to get serious about fossil fuel production as a way both to help Europeans in the face of Putin cutting off natural gas and for the U.S. to produce energy at levels that renewables cannot possibly match. Then they roll their eyes as the left freaks out over red state governors sending a few migrants to blue parts of the country but as no interest in dealing with the thousands of people crossing our southern border illegally every day. Finally, they remember former Independent Counsel Ken Starr and how the Democrats and the media turned him into a villain for investigating the unconscionable conduct of President Clinton.

They also wince as Democrats win the lone congressional seat in Alaska and blast the state's ranked choice voting system that allowed a candidate who finished fourth in the actual vote with just 10 percent of the vote to win the election. And they raise alarms in response to California urging people not to charge their electric vehicles just days after announcing plans to ban gas-powered vehicles while residents in Colorado were forbidden from lowering the temperature in their own homes due to an "energy emergency."

Your questions were so good that Jim and Greg decided to take on three more today! In this edition, they address why supposed conservatives not only refused to support Donald Trump but stopped advocating for conservatism and openly embraced the Democrats while insisting they are still the principled ones. Then they discuss who they would choose as their running mates, with the condition that they cannot choose each other. Finally, they talk "Die Hard" - you knew it was going to come up! This time they are asked to rank the films in the series from best to worst.

We love our listeners and we love hearing from you! So we decided to ask what questions you'd like us to address. Today we start with a great hypothetical. If conservatives won control of the House, Senate, and White House (with a supermajority in the Senate), which president from the past 100 years would we want setting the agenda and what would we want him to focus on. Then they take on a question asking what margin Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis needs to win re-election by to have real momentum for a 2024 presidential bad - and how damaging would it be for him if Sen. Marco Rubio wins by a wider margin? Finally, they tackle a Terminator-themed political question in a crazy but intriguing final martini.

Jim and Greg continue their week of special podcasts by focusing on the critical 2022 midterm elections. They start by looking at the most competitive U.S. Senate races and come to different conclusions about which party is likely to be in control of the Senate next year. They also look at the race for the House, which is likely to swing back to GOP control, but is it a lock and how big of a GOP majority is reasonable to expect? Finally, they examine the highest profile governor races, which may produce presidential contenders before too long.

They also recognize the heroism of U.S. veterans who refused to leave their Afghan friends to the brutality of the Taliban and worked feverishly to get them out of the country.

Casey decisions that had declared a constitutional right to an abortion. They welcome the ruling as being correct from a constitutional perspective and for the good it will do in saving lives.

In addition, they point out the Homeland Security warning about widespread violence as a result of the ruling, and Jim highlights how the decision of a justice who strongly supported abortion contributed significantly to Friday's verdict.

Today, he and Greg get a kick out of the sleazy Lincoln Project vowing to help Democrat Tim Ryan win the Ohio Senate race and Ryan's team makes it clear they don't want the group anywhere near the campaign. Jim sounds off as the Biden administration publicly confirms even more intelligence work directly connected to Ukrainian military operations, including the sinking of the Moskva. And outgoing Press Secretary Jen Psaki refuses to tell abortion protesters to stay away from the private residences of Supreme Court justices.

They also slam Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer's latest effort to skirt the filibuster to pass Dem legislation on elections. And they hammer teachers unions for once again leading the charge to return to distance learning or just "pause" schools for two weeks to weather the Omicron cases of COVID.

Join Jim and Greg as they offer the second installment of their highly coveted year-end awards. Today they remark on the people connected to politics that they're most sorry to see pass away in 2021. They also share their choices for rising political stars and the political figures who appear to be fading into oblivion - rarely to be heard from again. Or, in Greg's case, maybe they just really, really want them to go away forever.

Join Jim and Greg as they enjoy two good martinis along with a crazy one. They're thrilled with the news that President Biden and Sen. Manchin remain far apart on the massive spending & entitlement legislation and a vote this year is looking more and more unlikely. They also cheer Amtrak for announcing it will not be enforcing a vaccine mandate, the latest blow to Biden's efforts to force private companies to demand employees get the vaccine. And Jen Psaki sets herself for another day of withering fire by insisting that we're seeing much higher prices for beef due to the "greed of meat conglomerates."

Jim and Greg welcome hall of fame broadcaster Bob Costas as their first-ever guest on the podcast. Costas joins us to clarify his positions on issues we have scrutinized in the past and explain why he believes he has been unfairly painted as a progressive over his comments on guns and his call years ago for the Washington Redskins to drop their mascot - which they did in 2020.

They also discuss comments Costas made in calling out the International Olympic Committee for cozying up to China for the upcoming Winter Olympics and the problem of groupthink in the sports world, where only one position is often considered acceptable.

Today, we give Costas the opportunity to tell us exactly where he stands in all of these areas. Be sure to join Jim and Greg on Friday as they react to what was said.

First, the welcome the news that CNN has suspended Chris Cuomo but wonder if he will end up getting much more than a slap on the wrist. They're also encouraged by the oral arguments on the Mississippi abortion case at the Supreme Court and hammer Justice Sotomayor for her weak argument about when life begins. They're less than impressed with the Pennsylvania GOP Senate bid of Dr. Oz. And as December begins, they have plenty to say about the Hallmark Christmas movies that so many women love to watch and so many men have to endure.

Jim Geraghty is joined by Chad Benson for today's Three Martini Lunch. The first martini is a good one: The Democratic Governors Association is thinking of sitting out the Florida's governors race in 2022 because they think Ron DeSantis is unstoppable.

For the next round, Jim and Chad work through a bad martini: 14,000 green card holders are still stuck in Afghanistan.

For last call, and the final martini of the week, the guys order up a crazy martini: The New York Times Charles Blow is befuddled by the fact that the southern states have low rates of new COVID-19 infections... about a month or two after the Delta variant swept through that region and headed north.

Mixing things up today with Chad Benson guest hosting the Three Martini Lunch along with Jim Geraghty of National Review, the guys get a little crazy by starting with the Crazy Martini and a discussion of the White House framework for Joe Biden's Build Back Better agenda.

For round two, Jim and Chad order up the daily Good Martini, celebrating the difficulties that the government is having with the enforcement of the vaccine mandate.

Saved for last round today, the Bad Martini is served up with a discussion of recent GDP numbers and the possibility of a recession.

Join Jim and Greg as they look at the good, bad, and crazy performances of the media in just the past 24 hours. They cheer Matt Lee of the Associated Press for doggedly asking an important question that the State Department refuses to answer. They also roll their eyes as much of the mainstream media honor the Biden administration's wishes and push the ongoing crisis in Afghanistan much lower in their coverage. And they blast CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin - for several reasons - over his hysterical evaluation of the Supreme Court refusing to block pro-life legislation in Texas from taking effect.

Join Jim and Greg as they dissect Pres. Biden's attempt to declare the withdrawal from Afghanistan an "extraordinary success" while also trying to blame President Trump for things going wrong and throwing out his bogus straw man arguments yet again for the decisions he made. They also welcome the scathing critique of the withdrawal from former Democratic Sen. Jim Webb, who is demanding vigorous oversight of the exit from Afghanistan. And they discuss the resignations of the two top vaccine officials at the Food and Drug Administration and how little the media seem interested in the news.

They also sigh as Secretary of State Antony Blinken tries to assure us that any American or Afghan ally who wants to leave will be able to do so because the Taliban promised to let them do it. And they react to the frustration of Gold Star families at how Biden interacted with them and tried to make their conversations about himself.

They also fume over a Washington Post story that the Taliban offered to give the U.S. control of Kabul until the withdrawal deadline and Biden turned them down. And they shake their heads as White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan insists we'll have all sorts of leverage to get citizens and allies out of Afghanistan, even after our military leaves.

They're also staggered to learn the U.S. gave the Taliban a list of U.S. citizens and Afghan allies they should let through their checkpoints, never thinking that we just handed our enemies a list of every Afghan they want dead. And they shudder at President Biden's doddering press conference.

They also react to the Taliban proving they haven't changed a bit as their spokesman says there is no evidence that Osama bin Laden was behind the 9/11 terror attacks. And they bang their heads on the table at the news the Taliban could very well end up on the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women.

First, they cheer the U.S. Supreme Court for ruling that the Biden administration must reinstate the "remain in Mexico" policy which requires asylum seekers to stay outside the U.S. while their claims are investigated. They also document a long list of mainstream media reports chronicling just how bad conditions are getting for people desperately trying to get to the Kabul airport and how the Biden administration's narrative doesn't match reality at all. And they're getting suspicious that the Biden administration's vow to evacuate every American who wants to get out may be setting up an ugly talking point after August 31st.

Join Jim and Greg as they celebrate the end of Andrew Cuomo's governorship before digging into three sobering martinis. First, they fume as President Biden says our military presence will end on August 31. That decision means he is accepting the demands of the Taliban, even though many Americans and Afghan allies can't get to the airport and now Afghans are barred from leaving. They also wince as a leaked State Department cable shows just 4,407 Americans have been evacuated with just a week left to get people out. And they discuss the latest "coincidence" adding even more evidence to the theory that COVID-19 started as a lab leak in Wuhan.

The Crazy: CNN issues a statement saying that Chris Cuomo advising his brother Andrew on conference calls, strategizing how to respond to sexual harassment allegations was "inappropriate."

They also cringe as New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo suggests the COVID-19 restrictions may be in place as long as nine months and up to 80 percent of the population will contract the virus anyway.

Jim and Greg also assess Joe Biden's dust up with an auto worker over the second amendment - from the facts to his verbal flubs to his insults. And they marvel that less than two weeks after Joe Biden was a political afterthought, few people are glued to today's six presidential contests because a Biden nomination is a foregone conclusion.

Mazie Hirono telling CNN's Wolf Blitzer that President Trump wasn't really acquitted and Blitzer pointing out in detail that, in fact, Trump really was found not guilty. They also celebrate the intelligence and military precision that combined to target and kill Qassim al-Rimi, the leader of Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. And Jim unleashes a devastating rant against now former Republican presidential candidate Joe Walsh, who has now flip-flopped to the point where he vows to vote for whoever wins the Democratic nomination, even if it's an avowed socialist.

Another wild day in a very busy week! So grab a stool and join Jim and Greg as they break down the latest headlines. First, they get a kick out of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell immediately following up the impeachment trial by filing cloture on five more judicial nominees. They also feel like wretching as mainstream media figures who savaged Mitt Romney during the 2012 campaign suddenly extol him as a man of faith and principle because he voted the way they wanted him to. But they also spend time highlighting figures on the right who were way over the top in their condemnation of Romney. And they try to make sense out of the latest scraps of conflicting information coming from Democrats in Iowa while also looking ahead to New Hampshire.

State of the Union, Pelosi ripping up the speech, the Senate impeachment vote, and the ongoing incompetence of Iowa Democrats. We've got it all for you today on Wednesday's Three Martini Lunch. Join Jim and Greg as they applaud the amazing number of record-low unemployment statistics cited by President Trump in his State of the Union address Tuesday night. They're also big fans of conservative policy ideas espoused in the speech and note the impressive guests Trump invited and highlighted in his address. In contrast, they also assess House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ripping up her copy of the speech right after Trump finished and what is says about Democrats nine months before Election Day. Finally, they have plenty more to say as Iowa Democrats release more than two-thirds of the caucus results but aren't sure when or if the rest of the votes will be announced.

Is it really that hard to find out who won? Grab a stool as Jim and Greg unload on the Iowa Democratic Party for insisting on a maddeningly convoluted process and failing to ensure that the technology used to transmit results was actually working. As a result, by midday Tuesday, no one knew who won or what the delegate totals look like. After hammering the Democrats for the lousy process and general incompetence, they explain how the Republican caucuses look clear and simple by comparison while noting that President Trump's GOP challengers are barely even noticeable. Finally, with conspiracy theories already flying about how Democrats are out to deny Bernie or protect Biden or that the failed app may have artificially boosted Pete Buttigieg, Jim and Greg fear Iowa's debacle will further erode confidence that election results can be taken at face value.

With impeachment, the Iowa Caucuses, the State of the Union, and a Democratic debate on tap this week, grab a stool and join us for the fun. Today, Jim and Greg quickly sum up the Super Bowl and then dive into three crazy martinis. First, with closing arguments coming today in the impeachment trail of President Trump, they groan as reports emerge that House Democrats may be poised to pursue another impeachment effort this year depending upon what type of testimony they might get from John Bolton. They also point out that Andrew Yang might have the best political instincts in the Democratic presidential field after admitting he'd seriously consider pardoning Trump if that were ever an issue. And they have fun with reports that former Secretary of State John Kerry was overheard discussing what it would take for him to mount a serious candidacy at this point.

View Details

The weekend is almost here! Kick it off right with the Friday Three Martini Lunch. Join Jim and Greg as they celebrate the United Kingdom finally exiting the European Union Friday. They also discuss the latest impeachment news and how Democratic senators have already decided that Trump won't really be acquitted unless they get to call new witnesses at the trial. They're left scratching their heads as Democrat John Delaney ends a two-and-a-half year presidential campaign just three days before people finally start voting. And in a Super Bowl pitting the 49'ers and the Chiefs, Jim still finds a way to root against the Patriots.

We're talking impeachment, criminalizing speech, and fake groundhogs on Thursday's Three Martini Lunch. Join Jim and Greg as they roll their eyes at most questions being asked by senators in the impeachment trial and then discuss how Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell suddenly seems to have the votes needed to end the push for more witnesses and end the trial soon. Even though it'll never happen, they also cringe as Elizabeth Warren panders for more votes by promising to impose civil and criminal penalties for online platforms that publish what she considers to be disinformation. And they have a lot of fun with PETA's absurd demands that famed groundhog Punxsutawney Phil be freed from the cruelty of his annual duties and be replaced with an animatronic groundhog equipped with artificial intelligence. But despite the lunacy, Jim sees some room for common ground!

Big votes are coming soon on impeachment and in Iowa. Join Jim and Greg as they dive into reports suggesting three Senate Democrats are torn between convicting and acquitting President Trump. But will any of them actually buck their party? They also shudder at reports that the head of the Harvard chemistry department took taxpayer-funded research grants, only to pass his discoveries along to the Chinese for a very handsome sum of money - and he's not alone. And while Jim generally gives high marks to Florida Sen. Rick Scott, he is exasperated to see Scott launching ads in Iowa which most analysts see as a thinly veiled preview of a 2024 White House bid.

Jim is back and shares the highly entertaining albeit frustrating tale of the high-maintenance passenger on his return trip from California. After detailing that saga, Jim and Greg are immensely entertained by national Democrats realizing only now what a train wreck of a nominee Bernie Sanders would be and scrambling to make sure he's not the nominee. They also weigh in on the latest political and media reaction to John Bolton allegedly confirming a quid pro quo with Ukraine, and while they admit there are grounds for debating Bolton's tactics in recent months, the accusations he was never a conservative are ludicrous. And they unload on CNN, Don Lemon, and former Republican strategist Rick Wilson for their sneering mockery of Trump voters.

Chad Benson, host of "The Chad Benson Show," fills in for Jim, who will be back on Tuesday. Today, Chad explains what the loss of Kobe Bryant means to the people of southern California before he and Greg dive into three crazy martinis. First, they react to the news that former National Security Adviser John Bolton apparently wrote in his forthcoming book that President Trump ordered him to hold off on releasing military aid to Ukraine until Ukraine launched the investigations he wanted. Is this a major wrinkle in the impeachment saga, a book-selling gimmick, or something in between? They also discuss the Des Moines Register endorsing Elizabeth Warren and the Union Leader in New Hampshire backing Amy Klobuchar and ask whether endorsements really matter anymore. While on the topic they also explore whether Warren still has a chance or whether her campaign is out of gas but media insist on propping her up. Finally, they get a kick out of a Fox 5 poll in Washington, showing the nation's capital is either bored by the impeachment trial or just not interested in it.

Chad Benson grabs a stool for today's Three Martini Lunch while Jim is away. Today, Chad and Greg briefly discuss the significance of President Trump becoming the first sitting president to address the March for Life. Then they get a kick out of learning that the House impeachment managers are successfully alienating the group of senators they can least afford to lose - GOP moderates. They also richly enjoy watching a dad who scrimped and saved to pay for his daughter's college education dissect the progressive lunacy of Elizabeth Warren's college debt forgiveness plan right to her face. And as Democrats and their media allies dig for dirt on a strengthening Bernie Sanders, they brace for a riveting fight over whether Joe Biden or Bernie Sanders was more racially insensitive in the 1970's.

Rob Long of National Review Online is here in Jim's absence. Join Rob and Greg as they cheer a major step in the Brexit process in the UK and apply the lessons of that odyssey to American politics this election year. They're also a bit stunned to see Bernie Sanders not only leading in a nationwide poll but also jumping out to a double-digit lead in New Hampshire. And they have a field day with former Clinton Press Secretary Joe Lockhart tweeting out a conversation he overheard of GOP senators panicked over the impeachment case presented by Democrats, only to admit many retweets later that he just made it up.

View Details

More Democratic infighting means more popcorn on today's Three Martini Lunch. Join Jim and Greg as they get a kick out of Tulsi Gabbard suing Hillary Clinton for defamation after Hillary indirectly accused Gabbard of being a Russian asset. They're also very puzzled as to why Joe Biden would insist on not deporting illegal immigrants guilty of drunk driving, especially given his own family's story. And they discuss the House impeachment managers' odd tactic of accusing the jurors in the Senate of assisting President Trump in a cover-up if they reject any efforts by Democrats to subpoena documents or witnesses.

Grab a stool and have some martinis with us! Today, Jim and Greg applaud the powerful and peaceful protest for second amendment rights in Richmond and wonder if Gov. Northam's fears of chaos were way overblown to try to portray responsible gun owners as extremists. They also get a kick out of Hillary Clinton attacking Bernie Sanders and marvel that this may be one of those rare instances where she appears to be telling the truth. And they roll their eyes as Washington becomes transfixed on a debate over the rules for the Senate impeachment trial.

Back to the usual format day with good, bad, and crazy martinis. Join Jim and Greg as they applaud Sen. Perdue for pointing out how stunningly weak the Democrats' charge of obstruction of Congress against President Trump truly is. They also hammer the media for horribly biased coverage of Monday's pro-second amendment rally in Virginia, including CNN's assertion that gun rallies are fertile ground for white supremacists to recruit new members. And they have fun with the New York Times ending its insanely hyped endorsement process by backing two different candidates before Jim explains why they probably did it.

Finish the week strong with your Friday martinis! Join Jim and Greg as they discuss the roster of President Trump's impeachment defense team, including former independent counsel Ken Starr and famed defense attorney Alan Dershowitz. They also roll their eyes as Arizona Sen. Martha McSally tries to fundraise off of calling CNN reporter Manu Raju a "liberal hack" and CNN goes into full martyr mode to pretend McSally committed some sort of grave assault on the first amendment. And they get a kick out of Politico reporting that many Democrats are just now realizing that Joe Biden is not going to implode before the caucuses and primaries begin.

View Details

Nothing but crazy martinis today and the last one is a lot of fun! Join Jim and Greg today as they try to understand how bumbling figures like Lev Parnas ended up as Rudy Giuliani's key operatives in Ukraine. They also shake their heads as Iowa Democrats plan to release three separate results from the caucuses next month, possibly giving multiple candidates the chance to claim victory. And they examine West Virginia's offer for second amendment friendly counties in Virginia to switch states, leading Jim and Greg to wonder how the map would look if counties could jump to other states they find more ideologically similar.

Pull up a stool for another busy day on the Three Martini Lunch. Join Jim and Greg as they call out Joe Biden for falsely insisting the Obama-Biden administration never used military action apart from congressional authorization. They also hammer CNN for blatantly siding with Elizabeth Warren in her accusation that Bernie Sanders told her a woman could not get elected president - a charge Sanders strongly denies. And they unload on the radical Bernie Sanders campaign field organizer caught on tape threatening to burn down Milwaukee and other cities if Sanders does not win the Democratic nomination at the convention this summer.

Who knew you could have so much fun talking about Elizabeth Warren? Join Jim and Greg as they wade into Warren's accusation that Bernie Sanders told her two years ago that a woman couldn't get elected president. They also shake their heads as Warren promises to cancel a lot of student loan debt on her first day in office without ever involving Congress. And they preview tonight's final Democratic debate before the voting in Iowa and address the liberal concerns that there isn't enough diversity on stage.

Grab a stool and join us for the start of another crazy week in Washington. Today, Jim and Greg salute the Iranian protesters risking life and limb to protest the regime they despise and applaud President Trump's very appropriate tweets in support of the demonstrators. They also welcome the news that Sen. Cory Booker is ending his 2020 presidential campaign and discuss why he never took off. And they slam House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for her exceptionally weak answers as to why she pushed impeachment forward rather than fighting the Trump administrations over subpoenas in court.

Lots of Friday fun on today's Three Martini Lunch! Join Jim and Greg as they celebrate the Dow Jones crossing 29,000 for the first time on Friday and enjoy an economy that is staying stronger than many experts predicted. They also slam Pete Buttigieg for suggesting the doomed Ukrainian airliner was "caught in the middle of an unnecessary and unwanted military tit for tat" instead of simply stating that it was shot down by Iran. And they dissect the stunning news that Tom Steyer is suddenly in second place among Democrats in South Carolina.

No good martinis but plenty to talk about today! Join Jim and Greg as they dissect Republican fears that the open U.S. Senate seat in Kansas could be at risk this year if primary voters nominated Kris Kobach, who lost the 2018 governor's race there. They serve up a double-barreled crazy martini as Utah Sen. Mike Lee fumes that Wednesday's Iran briefing offered few specifics and that national security officials told lawmakers not to debate the issue in public. But they're also surprised to see Lee planning to channel that frustration into support for the War Powers Act revisions restricting the ability of a president to order time-sensitive military action. And they have a lot of fun as House Armed Services Committee Chairman Adam Smith tells CNN that its time for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to deliver the articles of impeachment to the Senate only to go on Twitter a short time later to say he "misspoke" and whatever Pelosi wants to do is fine with him.

Join us for a busy news day on the Three Martini Lunch. Today, Jim and Greg discuss Iran's missile strike injuring no one in Iraq, leading President Trump to announce new sanctions but no new military action. They also discuss whether the Ukrainian airliner crash in Iran was a coincidence or something more sinister. In addition, they're glad to see Covington Catholic High School student Nick Sandmann receiving a settlement from CNN after the network attacked over his encounter with an American Indian near the Lincoln Memorial last year - all because Sandmann was wearing a MAGA hat. And they try not to lose their breakfast as MSNBC not only carries the Soleimani funeral live but fawns all over the legacy of a man known for killing hundreds of American service members and slaughtering innocents at home and abroad.

Join us for three Iran-related martinis for you today. First, Jim and Greg are glad to see the likes of Russia and China offering nothing but word salad as no nation commits arms or manpower to Iran in the wake of the Soleimani strike. They also cringe as the Pentagon has to walk back a letter stating the U.S. Army would leave Iraq, only to have Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Mark Milley explain the letter was just a poorly worded draft that doesn't accurately express our policy and was never intended to go public. And they unload on California Rep. Ro Khanna for suggesting that Pres. Trump retaliating against Iran could warrant another article of impeachment, with Jim wondering if the Democrats are starting an impeachment of the month club.

We've got three compelling martinis to help you ease back into that first day back at work or school. Join Jim and Greg as they applaud comedian Ricky Gervais for hammering Hollywood for its hypocrisy and self-importance at the Golden Globe Awards Sunday evening on topics ranging from Harvey Weinstein to Jeffrey Epstein to Chinese sweat shops. Jim also urges President Trump to stop threatening to strike cultural sites in Iran because military targets make much more sense and discussing cultural sites could turn other nations against us. And they cringe as the video of Julian Castro endorsing Elizabeth Warren comes across as inauthentic, with Castro coming to Warren's house, telling Warren how wonderful she is, and Warren agreeing with him.

Well, 2020 is certainly off to an explosive start. Join Jim and Greg as they cheer the demise of Iranian Quds Force Commander Qassem Suleimani and recount the evil carnage he perpetrated against U.S. forces and many others over the past two decades. They also realize that the targeting of Suleimani may well result in an Iranian response and wonder what the reality will soon be in the Middle East and beyond. And they analyze Marianne Williamson's curious decision to lay off her entire national campaign staff but insist she's still in the race.

Happy New Year! Grab a stool, as Jim and Greg return to their normal format for 2020.

They're happy to see Julian Castro exit the campaign trail after a campaign that was rich in pandering but never found much support. And they discuss President Trump's $102 million cash on hand and the impact that could make in the campaign.

It's finally Friday of a very busy week! Jim and Greg have plenty to say about a member of the House Democratic leadership admitting to CNN that the Democrats may never send the articles of impeachment to the U.S. Senate unless Mitch McConnell agrees to the demands of Democrats for how the trial of President Trump ought to be structured. They also hammer Joe Biden, who admitted that he's willing to kill thousands - possibly hundreds of thousands of jobs in the energy sector - because he's supremely confident the green economy will offer just as many opportunities for great jobs. And they are the glad the holidays are right around the corner as Thursday's Democratic presidential debate descends into discussions of wine caves and selfies.

Starting Monday, Jim and Greg will begin their six-episode Three Martini Lunch Awards for 2019.

They scratch their heads as Tulsi Gabbard votes present on both articles of impeachment and wonder what her political future holds. And they dissect the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals declaring the individual mandate unconstitutional and Jim wonders whether Republicans would have any legislation ready to go if the Supreme Court were to strike down all of Obamacare.

It's impeachment day and Jim and Greg aren't exactly riveted to the debate when the outcome was predetermined long ago. But join them as they take aim at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi telling House Democrats not to gloat once the final impeachment votes are taken. They also get a good laugh at Democrats suggesting the House not send impeachment articles to the Senate until Republicans agree to their demands for witnesses, wondering where the downside could possibly be for Republicans in this strategy. And they have some choice thoughts as Barack Obama openly wishes that women could lead everywhere in the world for two years because everything would supposedly be better.

One good martini and two crazies for you today! Join Jim and Greg as they note a new USA Today poll showing President Trump winning national head-to-head polls against five different Democratic hopefuls. Kamala Harris contends a new Fox News poll showing more support for impeachment means that Fox News viewers are turning on Trump, and Jim and Greg try to decide whether Kamala doesn't know how polling works or if she's just being dishonest. And they have plenty to say as longtime GOP political operatives launch a new venture supposedly committed to rescuing the Constitution by helping Democrats defeat Trump and other Republicans.

It's only nine days 'til Christmas but the news keeps coming and the Three Martini Lunch is ready! Join Jim and Greg today as they thoroughly enjoy watching Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace call out former FBI Director James Comey for a long string of statements that have been contradicted by the inspector general's report on the Justice Department and FBI abusing the FISA process. They also roll their eyes as Democratic Rep. Jeff Van Drew looks for a political lifeline by switching to the Republican Party after announcing he will not vote to impeach President Trump, and the GOP appears ready to accept the man they recently branded a socialist. And Jim is actually rendered speechless for a moment as disgraced Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein insists he isn't getting enough credit for all he's done for women.

It's finally Friday! Yes, we are fully aware of the impeachment votes in the House Judiciary Committee but Jim sums up his analysis in roughly two seconds as we begin today's podcast. After that Jim and Greg celebrate the big win for the Conservative Party in the UK and are thrilled to report the political demise of Jeremy Corbyn. They are also hoping that the substance matches the excitement as Congress prepares to pass the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade agreement to replace NAFTA and President Trump announces agreement on "phase one" of trade negotiations with China. And Jim details why Joe Biden's campaign could face serious turbulence after reports that Hunter Biden had a 1988 drug arrest expunged at the same time Sen. Biden was advocating for very tough drug crime sentencing.

Another fruitless search for good news today but we have plenty to say about our bad and crazy martini! Join Jim and Greg as they react to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez openly cheering on anti-Semitic, America-hating Jeremy Corbyn to be the next prime minister in the United Kingdom. They fume as Rep. Rashida Tlaib falsely assumes the race of the people responsible for targeting and killing of Jewish people in Jersey City. They also slam the media for losing interest in the murders when the facts of the case don't support their preferred narrative. And while Democrats haven't even taken over the Virginia General Assembly yet, they're already talking about deploying the National Guard to counties that refuse to enforce their upcoming gun control legislation.

Another full serving of impeachment and 2020 campaign martinis Wednesday. Join Jim and Greg as they enjoy watching moderate House Democrats float a censure resolution instead of impeachment while progressive Democrats and groups blast Speaker Pelosi for only filing two articles of impeachment. They also weigh in on the disagreement between President Trump and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, as McConnell prefers an impeachment trial that wraps up as quickly as possible and President Trump wants to call lots of witnesses like Joe and Hunter Biden and the whistleblower behind the Ukraine complaint. And they dig into reports that, if elected, Joe Biden is only planning to serve one term as president.

Lots of big news to break down on Tuesday's Three Martini Lunch! Join Jim and Greg as they marvel at how much better President Trump is doing against all top-tier Democrats in three key battleground states than he was before impeachment began. They also discuss the IG report savaging the FBI and Justice Department for it's sloppy, error-ridden FISA warrant requests aimed at the Trump campaign, and since the inspector general could not definitively find proof of political motivation, they're left to shudder at the conclusion that the FBI is just thoroughly reckless and incompetent at its job. And Jim finds it awfully curious that Democrats would announce two articles of impeachment this morning and then immediately announce a series of legislative compromises with President Trump.

It's a bleak search for good news on the Three Martini Lunch. Today, Jim and Greg cringe as reports show the federal government has been flailing unsuccessfully for a sound policy in Afghanistan, lying to the public about what's been achieved, and wasting an obscene amount of taxpayer dollars. They also react to the mass shooting committed by a Saudi military officer at Pensacola Naval Air Station Friday, in what increasingly appears to be an act of Islamic terrorism. And they roll their eyes hard as the Democratic counsel for the House Judiciary Committee claims his young son asked him a deep and probing question about the character of the president.

And a former Obama deputy solicitor general says if Trump is not removed by the Senate, Democrats should plan to impeach Trump again if he is re-elected.

After a brief mention of today's impeachment hearings, Jim and Greg launch into Wednesday's real martinis. First, they take deep satisfaction in watching the end of the Kamala Harris presidential campaign and chronicle the many things that went wrong for her. They also slam Pete Buttigieg for saying that anyone who supports President Trump is "looking the other way on racism, at best." And they note that after three years of liberals cheering on sanctuary cities and counties over immigration policy, they suddenly have the vapors as conservative counties in Virginia adopt sanctuary policies against upcoming gun control legislation from the incoming Democratic majorities.

As America pauses for Thanksgiving Day this week, join Jim and Greg as they each list three things for which they are politically thankful. They both start out discussing encouraging signs in the judicial world. Then Jim explains which Democratic presidential candidates he's thankful for and which figure he's thankful for doing just about everything the wrong way. Greg discusses the political figure he thinks is setting a good example for conservatives to follow while in office and which groups he finds encouraging in a time of great cynicism and polarization.

One good and two crazy martinis await today. Jim and Greg react to House Democrat Brenda Lawrence backing away from impeachment and now saying censuring President Trump would be more appropriate in an election year. They also try to figure out what Barack Obama's 2020 approach is as he not only doesn't endorse Joe Biden but in private is apparently slamming Biden's inability to connect with voters. And they roll their eyes as Harvard and Yale students disrupt the annual football game between the two schools to protest both schools for investing in fossil fuels.

Glad you've joined us for the Monday martinis! Today, Jim and Greg cheer the people of Hong Kong for leaving no doubt in local elections that they are on the side of freedom and the protesters. They also cringe as figures on the right speak of Trump is near messianic terms, a tactic the left engaged in over President Obama for eight years prior to Trump. They're both way off base. And as Kamala Harris suddenly declares herself a champion of marijuana decriminalization because it leads to mass incarceration, Jim and Greg inconveniently point out her record and her painfully obvious political calculations.

Happy Friday! We've got good, bad, and crazy martinis to finish the week. Join Jim and Greg as they discuss Texas Rep. Will Hurd saying he sees nothing that rises to the level of impeachment, because if Will Hurd isn't flipping the odds of many Republicans in the Senate flipping are very low. They also sympathize with Andrew Yang, who is ripping MSNBC for not giving him much time to speak in Wednesday's debate. And they're intrigued by John Bolton returning to Twitter and promising more to come - only to find liberals who hate him now begging him to testify in the impeachment inquiry.

Back to our usual format with three big stories today! Jim and Greg applaud the Senate for passing legislation designed to sanction anyone found targeting the human rights of people in Hong Kong, but they still wish the demonstrators could get some public support from President Trump. They also react to U.S. Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland contending that the Trump administration did demand Ukraine open an investigation into Burisma and the 2016 elections in exchange for President Zelensky to receive an invitation to the White House, and that he believes the suspension of military aid was linked to those demands as well. And they marvel at the media deleting a story about the numbers of migrant children in U.S. detention when they learn the figure is actually from the Obama years.

Happy Monday! Jim is in a good mood after a Jets win on Sunday and he's fired up for all three martinis.

They also shred Prince Andrew for his absurd defenses against accusations he was connected to Jeffrey Epstein's pedophile ring, including Andrew's explanation that he stayed at Epstein's house against his better judgment because he is "too honorable." And they break down the sloppy, clueless effort of the Pete Buttigieg campaign to connect with black voters in the 2020 campaign.

It's a no-filter Friday on the Three Martini Lunch. Jim and Greg start by reacting to the Roger Stone convictions before even starting their martinis. Then they shake their heads as President Trump goes on a Twitter rant against former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovonovitch while she's testifying on Capitol Hill and Adam Schiff immediately overplays his hand by calling it witness intimidation. Then Jim details the disturbing backgrounds of new Democratic presidential candidates Michael Bloomberg and Deval Patrick, including Bloomberg's mistreatment of women and Patrick abusing his office to help a relative avoid registering as a sex offender. And they get some satisfaction knowing that even the finalists in the "Jeopardy! Tournament of Champions" have already forgotten who Michael Avenatti is.

Is there any Democrat who won't run for president at some point this year? Today, Jim and Greg dissect the eleventh hour campaign of former Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick and the message he's sending to the other Dems in the race by launching a campaign now. They also sigh as they realize the impeachment process is going to play out for months and it appears highly unlikely that anyone in Congress is likely to change their mind about anything. And they laugh as Michael Bloomberg apparently settle upon the strategy of skipping the first four Democratic presidential contests and putting all of his chips on winning in the South on Super Tuesday.

As the impeachment drama kicks off, Jim and Greg nearly injure themselves rolling their eyes as a longtime Republican aide who is pro-impeachment suggests allowing a secret ballot vote in the Senate to improve the odds of President Trump being removed from office. They also slam Trump for warmly welcoming Turkish President Erdogan despite his atrocities towards the Kurds and other antagonism towards the U.S. And they cringe a bit when looking at numbers suggesting Democrats might have a chance at winning Georgia this year, although they do find a deeply satisfying silver lining.

Jim is back! Join us for the Tuesday edition of the Three Martini Lunch as he and Greg get a kick out of candidates like Kamala Harris and Amy Klobuchar playing the race and gender cards against Democratic primary voters to explain why their campaigns are struggling. They also roll their eyes at reports that Democrats are trying to get witnesses to cry in the open impeachment hearings in order to build emotional support for President Trump's impeachment. And they discuss why even more Democrats - like Eric Holder and Deval Patrick - are seriously looking at late entries into the 2020 campaign.

Thanks for joining the Three Martini Lunch today. Once again, Rob Long of National Review and Ricochet is sitting in for Jim. Today, we celebrate the resignation of socialist Bolivian dictator Evo Morales and notice how very sad the mainstream media and far left politicians are that Morales is no longer in power. They also note the retirement of New York GOP Rep. Peter King, and while they don't really care if King retires. they see it as further evidence that things look bleak for Republicans in the suburbs in 2020. And they chronicle ABC and CBS acting like the Keystone Cops in apparently firing the wrong person for leaking the Amy Robach rant against ABC for spiking the Epstein story for three years. Rob is also shaking his head at the producer tearfully insisting she would never make public something as compelling as Robach's comments.

Rob Long takes over Jim's stool for the day to discuss a big day in political announcements. First, they size of former Attorney General Jeff Sessions running for his old U.S. Senate seat and starting his campaign by praising the president who fired him, a move Rob describes as brilliant. They also watch Virginia Democrats talking about gun confiscation and Bernie Sanders proposing the end of illegal immigrant deportations and the abolition of agencies like ICE and Customs and Border Protection, and marvel at how the left just can't help embracing extreme positions when it seems to have some momentum. And they dissect former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg's decision to begin filing paperwork to seek the Democratic nomination in 2020, with Rob wondering how Bloomberg thought his record in the Big Apple could be attractive to rank and file Democrats.

Jim is on vacation but there's still plenty of fireworks on Thursday's Three Martini Lunch. Greg is joined by Chad Benson, host of "The Chad Benson Show." Today, they get a kick out Bill Gates wondering just how much of his money Elizabeth Warren wants and concluding a conversation with Warren might not be worth his time because he's not sure how open-minded she is. They also recoil as a judge allows police to demand DNA from one of those outfits that tracks your heritage as part of an investigation, although Chad reminds us we all have pretty much voluntarily given up our privacy. And they fire back at 11,000 "scientists" who now say the Green New Deal is not enough, but we have to engage in population control too.

View Details

It was a long night, but we're here and we're glad you could join us! Today, Jim and Greg unpack disappointing election results as Democrats win control of the Virginia legislature and Kentucky GOP Gov. Matt Bevin appears headed to defeat. But they perk up as they see conservative policy ideas like protecting taxpayers, rejecting sanctuary city status, and tapping the brakes on affirmative action winning in moderate to liberal parts of the country. And they have zero use for a Kamala Harris proposal that would keep create a 10-hour school day (8 a.m.-6 p.m.) so it lines up with the work schedule of parents.

All good martinis yesterday, and none today. But we have three doozies for you. First, Jim and Greg discuss the new Project Veritas expose, clearly showing reporter/anchor Amy Robach blasting her bosses off air for refusing to air her story exposing Jeffrey Epstein and his powerful connections for the past three years. They blast ABC for engaging in the same kind of cover-up NBC did for Harvey Weinstein. They also shudder at reports that as many as ten Americans were killed by drug cartels in Mexico, the latest evidence that cartels clearly control key parts of Mexico and may even be more powerful than the Mexican military. And they laugh at the painfully predictable reaction from liberals on Twitter and far-left columnists like USA Today's Christine Brennan after some of the Washington Nationals said nice things about President Trump and one even wore a MAGA hat.

View Details

After a surprisingly brief venting about how bad their football teams are, Jim and Greg serve up three good martinis. They welcome New York Times polling showing Warren as the weakest major Democratic candidate against President Trump and an NYT editorial blasting Warren for falsely claiming that only billionaires would see higher taxes in her plan to pay for single-payer health care. Then they relish the exit of Beto O'Rourke from the 2020 Democratic field and also hammer the media for building up Beto as some sort of transformational figure in 2018 when he was always an empty suit. And Jim highlights his extensive profile of U.S. Attorney John Durham, the tight-lipped prosecutor tapped to investigate how the Trump-Russia investigation began in the first place.

View Details

Back to the normal format today, but plenty of good Friday fodder awaits. Today, Jim and Greg are happy to see better-than-expected numbers in the October jobs report. They shred Elizabeth Warren's ludicrous plan to pay for government-run health care, explaining why it's a fiscal pipe dream and a health policy nightmare for everyone. And they roll their eyes as Katie Hill and all of her liberal and media apologists ignore the actual reason she is resigning from Congress today.

View Details

Another day, another round of all good martinis. After a brief analysis of the Washington Nationals winning the World Series, Jim and Greg enjoy watching the Kamala Harris presidential campaign suffer its worst poll numbers yet and shrink the campaign staff to save its dwindling resources. They also marvel at the stratospheric approval numbers of Florida GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis, who enjoys a 72 percent approval rating and gets thumbs up from a majority of every major demographic, including Democrats. And they're fascinated by poll numbers showing the possibility of impeaching President Trump is far less popular in the swing states than it is in national polls.

It's all good martinis today! Join Jim and Greg as they stunningly applaud former President Obama for telling liberals that just blasting people for not being sufficiently woke actually accomplishes nothing. They're also glad to see the House of Representatives vote overwhelmingly to blame Turkey for the Armenian genocide committed over a century ago and discuss why that matters now. And they discuss the financial and ethical headaches facing the likely Democratic challenger to Maine GOP Sen. Susan Collins.

View Details

Another day with two good martinis! Join Jim and Greg as they celebrate U.S. forces killing another top ISIS official who may have been the successor to al-Baghdadi. They're also pleasantly surprised to see Arizona Democratic Sen. Kyrsten Sinema frustrating party leaders for taking a moderate approach on several issues and opposing an end to the legislative filibuster no matter which party is in control. And while Jeff Sessions was a solid senator, they're not too excited to hear Sessions is seriously considering joining a crowded field to win the seat again.

View Details

Start the week off right by joining us for the Three Martini Lunch. Today, Jim and Greg celebrate the U.S. forces who tracked down and eliminated Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the ISIS leader responsible for some of the most heinous and grisly murders, rapes, and oppression we've seen in recent times. They also pile on the Washington Post for offering a much softer headline and obituary for al-Baghdadi than was appropriate. Jim and Greg are pleasantly surprised to see liberal political street fighter Rahm Emanuel begging Democrats to stop pushing Medicare for All. And as California Democratic Rep. Katie Hill announces her upcoming resignation, they explain why this story is disturbing on virtually every level.

In today's Friday edition of the 3 Martini Lunch Jim Geraghty from National Review and Radio America's Rich McFadden look at the latest turn in the Russia investigation, why the Democrats are ignoring blue collar workers and the newest episode of the hit reality show "The Conways".

Join Jim and Greg as they serve up three new martinis Thursday! First, they applaud the Florida State Senate for permanently removing former Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel after his horrific leadership before, during, and after the Parkland high school shooting. They also shudder as a majority of Americans favor rewriting the first amendment and nearly half want to ban hate speech without ever defining what it is. And they discuss the high drama on Capitol Hill as Democrats conduct impeachment-related depositions in secret and Republicans hold a sit-in to protest what they see as a lack of transparency.

View Details

Good polls, confusing polls and politicizing math are the focus of our martinis on Wednesday. Jim and Greg are glad to see Republican U.S. Senate challenger John James already in a virtual dead heat with Democratic Sen. Gary Peters in Michigan. They also shake their heads as a new Kaiser Family Foundation survey shows a majority of Americans support Medicare for All but oppose it by large margins when they actually understand it means the end of private insurance. And they throw up their hands as school officials in Seattle consider adding an emphasis on ethnic studies into all subjects, including taking time in math class to explain how math is oppressive to people of color and is used to exploit natural resources.

View Details

Join Jim and Greg as they appreciate a more stable southern border thanks to Mexico holding up its end of the bargain on border security. They also shudder at the news that Justin Trudeau will continue as Prime Minister of Canada, even though Conservative Party candidates won more votes nationwide. And they enjoy watching Democratic insiders wring their hands because they're worried none of the many Democrats running for president may be able to defeat President Trump and dream of new candidates jumping into the race.

View Details

It's all good martinis for us today! Join Jim and Greg as they find endless entertainment in Hillary accusing Tulsi Gabbard of being a Russian asset and Gabbard going nuclear in response. They're also glad to see President Trump listening to those begging him to take one controversy off the table and scrapping the 2020 G-7 summit at Trump's Doral resort in Florida. And they have a lot of fun with Julian Castro becoming the latest Democrat to insist they are leaving the race unless they raise a large sum of money by the end of the month.

View Details

It's a festive Friday as Jim is back to finish out the week. He and Greg wonder just how far Hillary Clinton is removed from reality as she claims voter suppression cost her key states in 2016 and that Russia will run Tulsi Gabbard as a third party candidate this year to help President Trump get re-elected. They also cringe as new polling shows incumbent Colorado GOP Sen. Cory Gardner with just 42 percent and losing to Democrat John Hickenlooper by double digits. And they close the week out by celebrating nine fun years of the Three Martini Lunch and looking forward to many more!

David French joins us for a drink today in place of Jim, who will be back on Friday. Today, David and Greg discuss the courage of Enes Kanter, a Turkish player for the Boston Celtics. In the wake of widespread NBA cowardice on China, Kanter continues to defy the repressive Turkish government even though it persecutes his family members and he faces threats against his life. They also wince at President Trump's Twitter-esque letter urging Turkish President Erdogan to seek a cease-fire with the Kurds and blast Trump for pulling back so suddenly in Syria that our own military is scrambling to get out of there. They work in a much-needed laugh as Beto O'Rourke now admits he would have law enforcement come and take away your AR-15 and any other weapons he would ban.

At the conclusion of today's episode, they pay tribute to the late Rep. Elijah Cummings and then remark on David's upcoming departure from National Review to join a new venture known as The Dispatch.

Chad Benson, host of "The Chad Benson Show," borrows Jim's stool again today. In this episode, Chad and Greg break down the latest Democratic presidential debate. First, they get a kick out of watching Elizabeth Warren squirm out of answering whether she would raise taxes on the middle class to pay for government-run health care and watching mild-mannered Amy Klobuchar and Pete Buttigieg hammer her for not answering. They also groan and protect their wallets as Warren pitches her wealth tax yet again and Andrew Yang counters by touting the horrendous value-added tax. They note how Tulsi Gabbard was the only Democrat on stage who admits President Trump won in 2016 and thinks impeachment will only help Trump in 2020. And they have fun with some of the really bad answers candidates gave when asked to name people who think differently than them but have had a profound impact on their lives.

Jim Geraghty is back and firing on all cylinders for three big stories today! First, he and Greg poster dunk on LeBron James for calling Houston Rockets General Manager Daryl Morey "uneducated" for his tweet urging people to stand up for freedom in Hong Kong and suggesting such speech can be very harmful - to the Chinese government and NBA profits apparently. In complete contrast to LeBron's cowardice, MSNBC's Chris Hayes is loudly applauded for hammering his own employer for following the path of least resistance in spiking Ronan Farrow's story on Harvey Weinstein. And they roll eyes before ripping Tom Steyer for telling supporters a win for the Democrats in 2020 means the end of the Republican Party forever and a Republican win "literally" means the end of the world.

Chad Benson, host of "The Chad Benson Show," and Greg Corombos of Radio America serve up your Columbus Day martinis while Jim is away basking in a New York Jets victory. They start by getting a kick out of Bernie Sanders once again trying to drag Democrats to the left by telling ABC News the big difference between him and Elizabeth Warren is that she's a capitalist and he is not. And of course, Bernie once again calls for a political revolution. They also shudder as Chinese President Xi Jinping warns that anyone trying to create divisions in China "will end in crushed bodies and shattered bones" and Chad warns that the U.S. and the rest of the world need to realize that the future will either be dominated by China or the U.S. And they react to the violent video meme depicting Trump mowing down media entities and political opponents and the furor that inevitable followed.

Happy Friday! We're finally back to our usual format today, so join Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America to wrap up the week in style. First, they nod along as Vice President Mike Pence asks the media why they suddenly don't care about foreign meddling in the 2016 campaign now that President Trump wants some answers. They also feel ill as Golden State Coach Steve Kerr suggests an absurd moral equivalence between the U.S. and China. And they have fun with Rep. Tulsi Gabbard threatening to boycott the Democratic presidential debate she just qualified for.

Hey, we finally we have a good martini and it only took us until Thursday! Today, Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America appreciate a bipartisan group of lawmakers blasting the NBA for kowtowing to China. They also slam the Biden campaign for whining that the New York Times is making common cause with Breitbart.com by covering Hunter Biden's overseas activities. And they hammer President Trump for not worrying if thousands of ISIS prisoners go free because of Turkey's attack on the Kurds because most would only wind up in Europe again.

View Details

The search is still on for a good martini this week. Today, Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America react to the Turkish military striking Kurdish targets just two days after the U.S. announced it would move forces out of the area so Turkey could attack one of our closest allies in the fight against ISIS. They also shudder at rape allegations against former "Today" show host Matt Lauer and at new revelations about the steps NBC executives took to downplay Lauer's actions and stop journalist Ronan Farrow from releasing his Harvey Weinstein story that started the #MeToo movement. And they recoil as two NBA fans are removed from an NBA game in the U.S. for bringing signs and voicing support for Hong Kong.

No bad martinis in sight today. Nope, we've got all crazy ones for you! Today, Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America shake their heads as outspoken liberal Golden State Warriors Coach Steve Kerr suddenly has no opinion on China throwing a fit over one pro-Hong Kong tweet from a general manager in the league. They also roll their eyes as CBS announces it will be making a miniseries out of former FBI Director James Comey's book about his career. And they react to the very different opinions of GOP Trump challengers Joe Walsh and Mark Sanford, as Walsh demands impeachment and Sanford says he will probably vote for Trump if the president wins the GOP nomination next year.

We've got nothing but bad martinis today. Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America are frustrated by President Trump ordering the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Syria, even as Turkey specifically says it wants us gone so it can attack our Kurdish allies who did more than anyone else in the region to confront ISIS. Jim and Greg also swat away the NBA's pathetic apology to China after the general manager of the Houston Rockets tweeted out that people should stand with Hong Kong. And they groan as they see polls for the upcoming legislative races in Virginia looking very rough for Republicans.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America welcome a solid September jobs report, including a lower unemployment rate and a reduction in people leaving the labor force. They also break down the text messages among U.S. diplomats about President Trump's approach to Ukraine, with one clearly seeing a quid pro quo and one saying it's definitely not. And they comment on AOC declaring she's bored with impeachment and just wants to get it done so she can keep her eyes "on the prize of social and economic and racial justice."

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America look forward to Clint Eastwood's new film about how the FBI and media convinced America Richard Jewell was the Olympic Park bomber back in 1996, ruined the man's life, and obviously learned very little from this debacle. They're hopeful the movie will tell the truth about an ugly chapter in American history. They also unload on House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, who was caught lying about his office having contact with the whistleblower before the complaint was filed. And they react to President Trump not only doubling down on his urging of Ukraine to investigates Joe and Hunter Biden but for China to start investigating them as well.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Rich McFadden of Radio America tackle two good martinis and one crazy as Rich sits in for Greg Corombos. First, they marvel at President Trump's $125 million fundraising haul in the third quarter of 2019. They also notice brewing tensions on the far left as Bernie Sanders starts criticizing Elizabeth Warren for refusing to admit she will have to raise taxes to pay for her progressive agenda. And they shake their heads as Trump reportedly advocated a snake-filled moat at the border and for border agents to shoot people in the legs if they were coming in illegally.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America get a kick out of watching Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and Sen. Elizabeth Warren battle over whether the government ought to break up big tech. With little appetite for Warren's big government intrusion or Zuckerberg's pathetic efforts to protect user privacy and free speech, Jim and Greg plan to enjoy watching these two liberals devour each other. They also slam President Trump for cheerfully congratulating China on it's 70th anniversary since the communists took hold in 1949, making no reference to China's brutal repression of people and freedom that continues to this very day. And they hammer the Washington Post for running an op-ed fantasizing about impeaching both Trump and Vice President Mike Pence so Nancy Pelosi can become president.

We're off to an all-crazy start in what promises to be a crazy week! Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America throw up their hands as President Trump goes on a Twitter rant demanding House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff be investigated for treason and quoting allies suggesting that impeachment could lead to another civil war. They also unload on Joe Biden and his campaign for demanding that the media stop interviewing Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani. And they almost start to feel sorry for Hillary Clinton as she keeps talking about winning the popular vote and accusing Trump of being "an illegitimate president" almost three years after the election.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America are surprised to see prominent Trump critics David Brooks and John Kasich saying Democrats are moving way too quickly on impeachment. They also get a big laugh out of New York Times podcast host Michael Barbaro demanding that people leave the children of political candidates alone - while specifically referring to 49-year-old Hunter Biden. And they roll their eyes hard as Prince Harry says he has trouble getting out of bed some days because he is so concerned about the future of the planet.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America take note of how it took less than 48 hours for Democrats to turn the impeachment process into a farce as House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff opened Thursday's hearing with a stunningly twisted version of the transcript documenting the Trump-Zelensky phone call in July. They also walk through the declassified whistleblower report and point out what is likely to matter most as this process moves along. And they get a kick out of Elizabeth Warren changing her mind on whether it's OK for the children of vice presidents to sit on the boards of foreign companies.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America go through the transcript of the Trump phone call with Ukrainian Pres. Volodymyr Zelensky and conclude virtually no minds will be changed by it when it comes to impeachment. They also explain why the transcript is still bad for President Trump and possibly Joe Biden. And they get a good laugh at 2016 presidential afterthought and fake conservative Evan McMullin taking credit for the launch of the House impeachment inquiry.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America are glad to see France, Germany, and the UK conclude that Iran attacked Saudi Arabia earlier this month and that there is no other plausible explanation. They also groan over the political circus about to begin as House Democrats appear to be moving en masse towards impeachment and even President Trump seems to like the idea of getting impeached because it would help him win re-election. And they discuss the dystopian world Bernie Sanders wants us all to live in as he proposes a ludicrous wealth tax to pay for the massive expansion of government that he envisions.

Join Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America as they serve up some strong martinis to start the week. First, they find an odd appreciation for Sen. Cory Booker's campaign admitting it needs to raise $1.7 million by the end of the month to have any chance at being competitive for the Democratic nomination - and it makes Jim wonder why several other weak candidates haven't already closed up shop. They also shake their heads as a lot of House Republicans don't want to be there anymore. Many of them understandably hate being in the minority but Jim offers another, more serious reason for why a lot of conservatives want out of Washington. And they have no patience for the Shut Down DC climate protesters who snarled traffic in Washington this morning by demonstrating on several critical roads and intersections.

Join Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America as they serve up the final martinis of the week. First, they welcome the whimpering conclusion of the pointless presidential campaign of New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio. They also pop the popcorn as as Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer says no senators support Beto O'Rourke's mandatory buyback program for AR-15's and other weapons and O'Rourke fires back by saying that Schumer has accomplished nothing on guns. And as the whistleblower story offers a few more details and now seems to feature Joe Biden, Jim expertly peels back the layers to discuss what Trump did, what Biden did and what it all means.

It's all crazy martinis today! Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America start with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau found to have used blackface on at least three occasions but the maddening part is how the left is urging everyone to calm down with respect to Trudeau when they would have cast a non-leftist to the wolves and even Trudeau himself says these sorts of stories ought to be judges on a case by case basis. They also wait for more information after reports say an intelligence whistleblower is accusing Trump of making a shocking promise to a world leader. Is this a major scandal in the making or just more media hyperventilation? And let's just say they're severely underwhelmed as House Republicans make repealing Obamacare and reducing the national debt their priorities if voters return to the majority - particularly when they did neither when they had the chance in the first two years of the Trump administration.

The laughs are even more abundant than usual today on the Three Martini Lunch! Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America begin by applauding CBS for reporting the real headline from the new books on the Kavanuagh fight - that one of Christine Blasey Ford's supposed witnesses was pressured to lie to support Ford's story. They also enjoy seeing poll after poll showing Sen. Kamala Harris is slipping badly from her position as a top tier candidate. And as liberal critics wring their hands over Andrew Yang joking that he knows a lot of doctors because he's Asian, Jim and Greg suggest everyone lighten up and have some fun with their own ethnicities.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America welcome word that a federal investigation will be opened into how a prominent Indiana abortion provider allied with Pete Buttigieg ended up with more than 2,000 fetal remains in his home. They also shake their heads as Kamala Harris not only calls for Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh to be impeached but also contends that Christine Blasey Ford was "treated like a criminal" and that the Kavanaugh confirmation created a "crisis of confidence" in the Supreme Court. And Jim has plenty to say as the two New York Times reporters behind the latest Kavanaugh allegation insist their original article included the fact the supposed victim has no memory of the incident but their editors took it out of the story.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America enjoy watching some Democrats fret that Beto O'Rourke's vow to take everyone's AR-15 and AK-47 might convince voters that Democrats are after our guns.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America are pleased to see a high-ranking government official actually moving closer to facing the same type of prosecution most Americans would face for allegedly divulging sensitive information and then lying about it. Jim also hilariously shreds CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin for acting like the allegations in the case are incredibly complicated. They also size up the third Democratic presidential debate and hammer Julian Castro for his obvious suggestion that Joe Biden is too mentally fuzzy to be president. And they roll their eyes as Andrew Yang vows to give ten Americans a thousand dollars a month over the next year.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America cheer Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice for utterly rejecting the suggestion from NBC's Savannah Guthrie that Russian meddling may have tipped the 2016 election to President Trump - and explaining what really did happen.

Breaking news makes this a four martini lunch! Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America start by noting the Democrats have lost every bit of the approval advantage they enjoyed over the GOP a year ago and Jim offers an analysis that both parties would be wise to heed but never will. They also slam Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross for reportedly threatening to fire high-ranking officials at NOAA if there was not a statement released defending President Trump's outdated forecast for Hurricane Dorian. Jim says if the reports are true, Ross should lose his job. They brace them themselves for the media to fall in love with Democrat Jon Ossoff all over again as the special election golden boy from 2017 (who lost) is now running for U.S. Senate in Georgia. And they react to the breaking news that John Bolton is out as National Security Adviser in the Trump administration.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America are glad to see billionaire impeachment activist Tom Steyer lock in a spot in the October Democratic presidential debate - both to watch him push impeachment when the party wants none of it and to see better debates.

And they slam both President Trump and the media for being unable to admit mistakes and turning literally anything - including a Sharpie sketch on a hurricane map - into grist for yet another controversy.

It's a big day on the Three Martini Lunch! Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America start by welcoming the news that Leif Olson has been re-hired at the Labor Department just one day after he was falsely accused of anti-Semitism by Bloomberg Law. Then they are encouraged that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is also quite leery of any peace deal with the Taliban. And they unload on politicians in San Francisco for labeling the National Rifle Association.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America welcome the news that Hong Kong - at the direction of Communist China - has withdrawn the extradition bill that sparked massive protests, but they're still not sure this story will have a happy ending. They also pummel Bloomberg News and reporter Ben Penn for forcing the resignation of a Department of Labor appointee over an "anti-Semitic" social media post that wasn't anti-Semitic at all. And Jim is not at all impressed with the apparent peace plan in Afghanistan, which seems to amount to little more than trusting the Taliban not to commit terrorism or harbor terrorist groups.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America are glad to see New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand exit the 2020 Democratic presidential race, both because she had no chance and because she may have been the most obvious at pandering in the entire field - which is saying something since she was running against Beto. They also welcome the scathing report from the Justice Department's inspector general which hammer former FBI Director James Comey for his mishandling of evidence and leaking private information to achieve a political outcome. Even more, Comey responds to the verbal beatdown by claiming he is somehow exonerated.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America are still shaking their heads over the political chaos in Virginia, but they are happy to see a weakened Gov. Ralph Northam give Republicans most of what they want on tax relief. They also point out some of the most insane provisions included in the Green New Deal, proving how out of touch the socialists in the Democratic Party really are. And they shudder as former KKK official David Duke endorses Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard for president because he thinks Gabbard is least likely to send troops to die on behalf of Israel in the Middle East. Gabbard has denounced Duke and rejected the endorsement.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America are pleasantly surprised at President Trump's State of the Union address, in which he extolled the greatness of America, condemned socialism and late term abortion and found several issues where bipartisan cooperation seems plausible.

And their jaws hit the floor as Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring admits to dressing up in blackface while in college, just days after calling on Gov. Ralph Northam to resign.

They also shake their heads as Democrats and their friends in the media launch a relentless mission to destroy former Starbucks Chairman and CEO Howard Schultz for considering an independent presidential run. And they react to a Huffington Post column arguing that billionaires are bad for America so we shouldn't have any.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America are glad to see Republican leaders denounce the latest controversial comments from Iowa Rep. Steve King and argue that while it's worth defending the greatness of Western Civilization, there's a right way and a wrong way to do it. While being perfectly fine with a wall at various points along our southern border, they offer multiple reasons why an emergency declaration to move it forward would be a bad idea now and an even worse precedent for when a Democrat eventually becomes president. And they get a kick out of CNN's Jim Acosta intending to make an argument against the need for a border wall but accidentally demonstrating why a wall works. And Jim explains how Acosta has become the Hollywood caricature of an arrogant reporter.

While Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard has come under deserved fire for defending Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad, Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America are applauding Gabbard today for being the only Democrat willing to stand up to Senate Democrats who contend that being a member of the Knights of Columbus is disqualifying for service as a federal judge. They also brace for the imminent presidential campaign of California Sen. Kamala Harris, who is very liberal but is one of only a few Democrats with a legitimate shot at the nomination. And, as more stories emerge of the fiscal hardship of federal employees going without pay during the partial shutdown, they are staggered by statistics showing that nearly 80 percent of Americans live paycheck to paycheck and over 60 percent don't have enough money saved to cover six months of expenses.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America think President Trump did alright in his speech and agree that his presentation was better than the stiff stares of Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America are glad to see President Trump making a detailed case for border wall funding in tonight's televised address, a more effective strategy than tweets and sound bites.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America are grateful to see House Democrats revealing their real goals right from the start - impeachment, huge tax increases, abolishing the electoral college - and hope Americans see what they'd be getting if Democrats also controlled the Senate and the White House. As the partial government shutdown creeps towards three weeks, some conservatives are concluding that because their lives haven't changed much, the impacted agencies aren't really needed. Jim explains why that conclusion is badly misguided. And they throw up their hands as the mainstream media concoct the narrative that Republicans condemned Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for dancing in a video, when only one anonymous Twitter user lashed out and any conservative who weighed in on the matter defended the congresswoman.

They also wonder why President Trump is suddenly ordering the U.S. to withdraw from Syria when ISIS is badly degraded but not yet eradicated.

They also squirm a bit as a growing number of economic forecasters think we could hit a recession in 2019. And they discuss the presidential prospects of Hawaii Rep.

They also rub their hand with glee at the possibility of political inroads with young people as Democratic regulators in California consider a tax on text messaging and then consider some far more annoying aspects of modern communication that ought to be taxed.

We groan as a no confidence vote for British Prime Minister Theresa May unfolds after her failure to get a Brexit plan approved.

Jeff Sessions resigned as attorney general on Wednesday, after almost 18 months of President Trump's fuming over Sessions' decision to recuse himself from the investigation into alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential campaign. And critics of the Mueller probe are neither surprised nor sad to see him go.

"We knew it was going to happen said former federal prosecutor and Justice Department official Victoria Toensing.

Sessions released his resignation letter, saying how proud he was of progress in enforcing immigration laws, reducing violent crime, enforcing gun laws, and more. Toensing says Sessions did some things very well but his decision to recuse himself tainted his time atop the Justice Department.

"Those were Jeff's bread and butter issues. He believed in them deeply. But he was just like a scared rabbit in dealing with anything to do with the Russia investigation," said Toensing.

She hopes Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein is next.

"Jeff has not been able to be a good attorney general because of his recusal. Now, that's a different situation than Rod Rosenstein has. He's just been evil in what he's done in appointing a special counsel when there was not even a crime and staying there and overseeing it when he had conflicts," said Toensing.

Toensing rebuts the notion that Sessions recused himself because he failed to mention contacts with the Russian ambassador during the 2016 campaign. Sessions saw the ambassador in his role as a senator at the time and not in his capacity within the Trump campaign.

Matt Whittaker, who had been chief of staff to Sessions, will serve as acting attorney general until a new one is confirmed. He will oversee the Mueller probe instead of Rosenstein. Toensing rolls her eyes at the notion Whittaker should be forced to recuse himself because of a few opinions he's expressed that are critical of the Mueller investigation.

"Is that a joke?" asked Toensing, noting Whittaker's only public comment was that Mueller ought to come back for permission to expand his investigation if he went beyond the bounds established by Rosenstein.

Listen to the full podcast to hear more of Toensing's comments on Sessions, her reaction to liberals comparing the firing to Nixon's "Saturday Night Massacre," and what she wants to see in the next attorney general.

They also laugh as the normally loquacious Sen. Ted Cruz is left speechless after being asked if he thinks President Trump has the power to pardon himself. And Jim rips outgoing Starbucks Chairman Howard Schultz for his pathetic noncommittals on the 2020 presidential race, while explaining how Schultz would likely be a flop in the Democratic primary.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America cheer the Supreme Court's ruling in favor of a Christian baker who was sued for not customizing a wedding cake for a same-sex ceremony but note the ruling focused on this particular case rather than broader issues of conscience and religious liberty. They also cringe as Bill Clinton still sees himself as the victim in the Monica Lewinsky scandal and scolds an NBC reporter for even bringing it up. And they're incredulous as President Trump boldly announces he has the power to pardon himself and Trump's attorney, Rudy Giuliani, contends Trump could not even be indicted for killing former FBI Director James Comey while still in office.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America toast better-than-expected unemployment numbers, the best in 18 years. They also lambaste Virginia Republicans for rolling over and approving the Obamacare Medicaid expansion they claimed to oppose for years. And they dig through more eye-opening posts from Joy Reid's supposedly hacked blog, including her likening of John McCain to the Virginia Tech shooter, endorsing the removal of the Israeli government to Europe, and likening illegal immigration to slave labor for multinationals.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America serve up only good martinis today, although the last one comes with a twist. They cheer Congress and President Trump for enacting "Right to Try" legislation, allowing terminally ill patients to undergo promising treatments not yet approved by the Food and Drug Administration. They also get a lot of enjoyment out of the excerpt from an upcoming HBO documentary that shows Obama Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes truly speechless after Donald Trump was declared the winner on Election Night 2016. And just two days after ABC fired Roseanne Barr for her horrible tweet about Valerie Jarrett, Samantha Bee puts the left on the spot after using a vile word to describe Ivanka Trump.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America tackle four big stories today. First, they welcome the resignation of disgraced GOP Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens. After another Twitter slam against his attorney general, they wonder why President Trump doesn’t just fire Jeff Sessions if he hates him so much. They also discuss the massive shift in opinion on free speech on both the left and right after ABC cancels “Roseanne” after Roseanne Barr’s racist tweet. And they marvel at the fake assassination of a reporter in Ukraine to smoke out the people really trying to kill him.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America return with three crazy martinis. First, they shake their heads as President Trump tweets that those who died for our country would be really proud of his economic record. They also roll their eyes as liberal politicians and media figures express outrage over images of illegal immigrant children being confined to cages - until they learn the images are from 2014 during the Obama administration and then delete their tweets. And they react to California scrambling to find records for tens of thousands of voters who were mistakenly enrolled twice, all of this just a week before primary day in the state.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America are glad to see disgraced Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein charged for rape but they already see signs that Weinstein plans to portray himself as the victim. They also react to new reports of U.S. diplomats suffering from brain injury due to a possible sonic attack, this time in China. And they unload on former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe for spending $70,000 on a conference table and trying to hide it from lawmakers by redacting the purchase from a report to Congress.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America applaud President Trump for backing away from next month's summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un, proving he is not desperate for deal and keeping Kim off balance. While denouncing kneeling during the national anthem as the time or place to make a protest, they also slam Trump for suggesting maybe NFL players who kneel for the national anthem "shouldn't be in the country." And they unload on former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper for randomly concluding that Russian efforts to meddle in the 2016 campaign definitely made the difference in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania and flipped the election results from Hillary Clinton to Donald Trump. Jim points out that Clapper and other Trump critics simply refuse to believe that voters made a choice they don't like.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America are pleased to see pathetic levels of voter enthusiasm among Democrats in Texas and Georgia and they dissect the substantial personal debt afflicting the party's nominee for governor in Georgia. They also fire back as California Rep. Eric Swalwell argues for a ban on military-style semiautomatic rifles, a buyback program aimed at those who own such weapons, and criminal prosecution for anyone subsequently caught with one. And they shake their heads over the 30-year-old man who took his parents to court for insisting he move out of their house.

After discussing an eventful trip to the DMV, Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America are happy to see experts shifting projections towards Republicans in four key House races, with Jim noting that real nominees often fail to poll as well as generic ones. Jim also rips President Trump for reportedly using cell phones that staffers fear could leave Trump - and classified information - vulnerable to hacking or espionage. And they blast Obama Education Secretary Arne Duncan for urging parents across the country to stop sending their kids to school until Congress passes gun control legislation.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America cheer Secretary of State Mike Pompeo for inflicting punishing sanctions on Iran, making it clear the Trump administration does not think the Iranian regime can be partners on anything. They also sigh as the gun control movement tries to advance its agenda again after the Santa Fe High School shooting, even though their proposed legislation would have done nothing to prevent this horrific shooting. Jim also asks why so few are interested in finding out why teenage boys are now lashing out and killing people when they are bullied or rejected by girls. And they discuss Don Blankenship's pathetic attempt to keep running for U.S. Senate in West Virginia despite getting thrashed in the GOP primary and a West Virginia law that prevents losers in primaries from running again in the general election.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America applaud the confirmation of CIA Director Gina Haspel, discussing the six Democrats who ended up back the nomination and their likely political calculations. They also shudder at reports that efforts are underway to create a TV show featuring former Trump aide Anthony Scaramucci and Stormy Daniels attorney Michael Avenatti. And they walk through the rough public relations performance of former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who seems to be creating more controversies than he's resolving.

Note: The Texas high school shooting was first being reported at the time the podcast was recorded Friday morning. Details were scarce and Jim and Greg determined it was irresponsible to comment on it until the facts are established. Certainly, our prayers are with the families of those killed and for the recovery of those injured.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America take aim at three examples of egregious media bias. They start with the heroism of Dixon High School (Ill.) school resource officer Mark Dallas, who saved countless lives in a would-be school shooting this week, yet the media glossed over the story since there was no body count and they have little interest in highlighting the effectiveness of a resource officer willing to engage the shooter. They also slam the press for selectively quoting President Trump to make it seem he was referring to immigrants as "animals" when he was responding specifically to comment about the vicious Latin American gang MS-13. And they throw up their hands as Hamas admits most of the people killed along the Israeli border were armed Hamas members and not random civilians and the media show no interest in reporting it.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America serve up three bad martinis today. They react to Kim Jong-Un's pathetic attempt to get attention by threatening to cancel next month's summit with the United States over military exercises between the U.S. and South Korea. They also discuss revelations that Democrats are "rigging" primaries again as reports show the Democratic Congressional Committee (DCCC) is making polling data and email lists available to some candidates and not others. And they note two literal socialists won Democratic primaries for the state legislature in Pennsylvania, suggesting socialism is becoming increasingly acceptable to voters on the left.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America enjoy watching Democrats publicly feud over how prominent the impeachment issue should be in 2018. They also shake their heads as the Seattle City Council tries to fight homelessness by taxing companies $275 for every employee if the business makes more than $20 million per year. They fire back as Never Trump "Republican" Steve Schmidt says Trump's decision to embassy is only a calculation for the midterm elections and that the president has blood on his hands from the violence along the Israel-Gaza border. And Jim offers a champagne toast to mark the passing of prolific author and National Review friend Tom Wolfe.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America applaud State Department Spokeswoman Heather Nauert for shredding Chris Cuomo's suggestion that Iran is suddenly a problem in the Middle East because President Trump withdrew the U.S. from the nuclear deal. They also scold White House communications aide Kelly Sadler for suggesting Sen. John McCain's opposition to CIA nominee Gina Haspel didn't matter because "he's dying anyway." And as the media conveniently forget about the scandalous downfall of New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman just a couple of days after his resignation over allegations of abusing multiple women, Jim notices how a disturbingly high percentage of such scandals involve politicians from New York City.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America are in a great mood again today, starting with the news that five of the "most wanted" ISIS figures are now in custody after good work by the Iraqis, the Americans, and the Turks. They also swell with pride as three Americans wrongly imprisoned in North Korea come home to a powerful welcome at Joint Base Andrews. And while these major accomplishments take place, California liberals are busy mandating that everyone building a new home in the state will soon be required to install solar panels, which could mean an extra $20,000 in building costs.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America are in very good spirits as they savor three wonderful martinis for conservatives. First, they celebrate the news that three American hostages are on their way home from North Korea in advance of the upcoming Trump-Kim summit. They also applaud President Trump for withdrawing the U.S. from the Iran nuclear deal, which was riddled with inspection loopholes and was never properly submitted to Congress. And they cheer the victory of conservative Patrick Morrisey in the West Virginia U.S. Senate primary, the lopsided defeat for "Cocaine Mitch" accuser Don Blankenship, and strong turnout for Republicans in three primary states.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America welcome President Trump's efforts to cut $15 billion in federal spending and prod Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to pursue the plan. They also need a shower after recounting the horrific allegations of physical abuse lodged against New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman by four ex-girlfriends, one of whom says she was urged by friends not to go public with the assaults because it would be bad for Democrats. And they bite their fingernails as they wait to see if West Virginia Republicans nominate a sensible candidate for U.S. Senate or follow in the footsteps of many other states that blew recent chances to win Senate seats by choosing troubling and unelectable nominees.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America welcome Judge T.S. Ellis reminding Special Counsel Bob Mueller that he does not have "unfettered power" in his investigation and that he shouldn't use his position to compel testimony towards a desired end in his probe. They also also shake their heads as liberals are not getting upset with the Justice Department for enforcing existing gun laws and as officials in Broward County, Florida, admit that the Parkland shooter did avoid the criminal justice system for previous offenses by being enrolled in the school-based PROMISE program - and therefore never triggered any red flags when trying to buy guns. And they wonder why Trump supporters are so upset that John McCain doesn't want President Trump at his funeral.

David French of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America cheer new poll numbers showing that voters in many states with incumbent Democratic senators overwhelmingly want someone new. David explains his concern that evangelicals are showing themselves to be hypocrites and damaging their efforts to share the gospel by defending President Trump in every situation. And they discuss the closing ad from Republican West Virginia Senate candidate Don Blankenship, who uses his 30 seconds to accuse Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of creating jobs for "China people" and labels McConnell himself as "Cocaine Mitch."

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America are glad to see reports that North Korea is prepared to release three U.S. prisoners, but they're still cautious about why Kim Jong-Un is suddenly so eager to find common ground. They also shake their heads as Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani reveals that President Trump did reimburse Michael Cohen for his $130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels, although he claims Trump didn't know what the reimbursement was for. And they react to the New York Times story alleging the Washington Redskins took passports away from cheerleaders on a trip to Costa Rica, allowed male sponsors and suite holders to watch the cheerleaders in various states of undress on the photo shoot, and assigned some of them to serve as escorts for the sponsors.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America are thrilled to hear House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi state she will run for Speaker of the House if Democrats win back the majority. It's hard to imagine a better talking point for GOP candidates. They also cringe as Vice President Mike Pence gives a shout out to former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio during a visit to Arizona, noting Arpaio's controversial record and how he would be a sure-fire loser if nominated for the U.S. Senate. And they're not exactly shocked to learn that Donald Trump dictated the glowing, over-the-top letter released by his doctor in the 2016 campaign that vowed he would be the healthiest person ever to be president of the United States.

It's all good martinis to close out the work week. Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America are still plenty skeptical of North Korea, but they cautiously welcome the possibility of stability in the region - especially if it's true that North Korea may have accidentally destroyed its main nuclear facility. They also applaud Bret Baier of Fox News for a thorough, substantive, and fair interview of former FBI Director James Comey, but are thoroughly puzzled by several bizarre answers from Comey. And they react to deputies in Broward County overwhelmingly demonstrating "no confidence" in Sheriff Scott Israel in the wake of the Parkland high school shooting.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America are cautiously optimistic after the Supreme Court appears to support the constitutionality of President Trump's proposed travel ban. They also shake their heads at the sudden outrage over presidential physician Admiral Ronny Jackson, as Democrat Sen. Jon Tester and the media run wild with stories of Jackson's drunkenness and prescription drug recklessness, yet somehow none of this ever came to light while Jackson served as doctor to President Obama and his family. And they sigh as the conservative love affair and liberal outrage over Kanye West hits another level after Kanye tweets that he loves Trump, slams Obama, and Kim Kardashian tweets in strong support of Kanye's right to think for himself

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America welcome a Republican win in an Arizona congressional race, although the margin should have been a lot wider. They also groan as many conservatives suddenly adore Kanye West because of a few tweets that poke the left as being the thought police. And they discuss the furor over Budget Director Mick Mulvaney admitting he only met with lobbyists who donated to his campaigns while serving in Congress. While they can see why this seems distasteful, Jim and Greg wonder how people thought politics worked in the real world and they don't believe the liberal shock and horror for a second.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America are glad to see Secretary of State nominee Mike Pompeo win the vote in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, thanks to a change of heart by Rand Paul and Democrat Chris Coons bailing out the poor leadership of Chairman Bob Corker. They also recoil at the Toronto attack carried out by a van driver, who sped a mile down city sidewalks, killing 10 and injuring 15. They marvel at how easily the media moved on to different stories since the weapon wasn't a gun and there's no immediate link to jihad. And they rail against the British government for trying to stop the parents of Alfie Evans from seeking additional opportunities to save their son's life, a truly frightening result of government expansion.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America recoil at the horror of four people killed in a Tennessee mass shooting, but the shock turns to anger at the news that authorities took away the shooter's guns last year, left them with his dad under orders to keep the guns locked up, but the dad gave the weapons back to the shooter. At the same time, they marvel at the heroism of James Shaw, Jr., who attacked and disarmed the shooter without any weapons of his own. And they discuss Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker's "endorsement" of Marsha Blackburn in the race to replace him - in what might be the most pathetic endorsement we've ever seen.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America enjoy two good martinis today, starting with the Justice Department referring former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe for criminal prosecution after the inspector general accused McCabe of "lacking candor" under oath four times. They also applaud North Dakota Democrat Heidi Heitkamp for backing the nomination of Mike Pompeo for secretary of state. It may be an election year ploy, but it's still the right decision. And they shake their heads as New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo calls himself an undocumented immigrant who was raised by poor immigrants, none of which is true. It's reminiscent of Cuomo declaring himself black, Muslim, Jewish, gay, and a woman not long ago while also stating there is no room for pro-life, pro-gun, or pro-traditional marriage conservatives in New York.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America are glad to see South Korea's president say North Korea is ready to give up nukes with no conditions, but wonder whether this is yet another ruse from Pyongyang. They also wonder why 175,000 Starbucks employees need racial sensitivity training because of a high-profile controversy at one franchise.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America are encouraged that six months before the midterms, DNC Vice Chairman Keith Ellison is promising that people will die if Democrats don't win. It's an indication that Democrats don't have much of an agenda to run on other than fear and opposing President Trump. They also throw up their hands as congressional Republicans reportedly have no plans to try to pass a budget this year because it will be really hard to pass in the Senate. They react to Sean Hannity being named as one of Michael Cohen's clients, and while there may be no legal scandal, Hannity is definitely wrong to have not disclosed this connection. And Jim has some theories about the man in the sketch released by Stormy Daniels.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America welcome a new poll showing that the edge for Democrats is shrinking ahead of the midterm elections and that support for the GOP among gun rights supporters is ahead of support for Democrats among gun control activists. They also roll their eyes as former Clinton staffer George Stephanopoulos interviews James Comey for ABC News and Comey sanctimoniously concludes he always did the right things for the right reasons and never got obsessed with his own virtue. And they reject a Washington Post editorial calling for the voting age to be lowered to 16 years old, but they do offer some creative tips for tweaking the voting age.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America welcome the news that Scooter Libby, the chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney, may soon be pardoned by President Trump and have his convictions from the Valerie Plame fiasco scrubbed from the record. Jim and Greg don't excuse Libby's conduct in the investigation but point out there never should have been an investigation since there was no underlying crime. They also roll their eyes as excerpts from James Comey's new book slam Trump as being shorter than expected, wearing his ties too long and using tanning goggles, while Trump tweets that Comey is an "untruthful slimeball." And they react to Comey's admission that he revealed the re-opening of the Hillary Clinton email probe because he was sure she would win the election anyway and might not have done so if he thought Trump could actually win.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America shake their heads as the Republican National Committee furiously tries to line up a few Democrats to push Mike Pompeo over the finish line as the next Secretary of State. They also hang their heads as large percentages of Americans demonstrate very poor knowledge about the Holocaust, including 41 percent of Americans and 66 percent of millennials who have no idea what Auschwitz was.
