3 Martini Lunch

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss the House Judiciary Committee exposing how casually ActBlue allegedly accepted foreign campaign contributions for Democrats, Hasan Piker saying America is worse than Al Qaeda when it comes to terrorism, Jim's visit to the Cuban Embassy in D.C., and why not all polls are what they appear.First, they dig into the story from Townhall.com about a Houe Judiciary Committee report showing how little lefties with ActBlue tried to keep foreign donations out of the donations they received. Jim and Greg go through some egregious examples and wonder whether anyone will face legal consequences for this.Next, they react to Hasan Piker telling Axios that "pound-for-pound" the U.S. is worse than Al Qaeda in terms of terrorism. Jim explains how absurd that is and how it also proves that Piker is not very bright.Then, Jim recounts his visit to the Cuban Embassy in Washington earlier this week. He explains how the Cubans are pursuing a China-like system that will allow investing and some private ownership. He also explains how destitute the Cubans are right now.Finally, they don't believe new polling that showws GOP sen. Jim Risch losing badly in Idaho. A closer lookat the polling firm and how it gets results makes them far less concerned about the race.Please visit our great sponsors:HomeServeProtect your home with HomeServe.  For 50% less your first year, go to https://HomeServe.com/Martini for the plan that's right for you.

Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch as they dig into the New York Times having to issue an embarrassing correction about the terrorist attacks against Israel, James Talarico and his pastor proving his efforts to appear like a moderate on cultural issues is all fiction, the U.S. poverty rate hitting a record low, and Sen. Mitch McConnell proving he's no longer up to the job.First, they vent as the New York Times publishes a story stating "Israelis still view themselves as the victims of Oct. 7." In addition to the obvious reaction, Jim explains the double standard that exists in how the Times treats writings from the left vs. the right.Next, they react to James Talarico's pastor saying the candidate's advisers are telling him to sound more moderate on social issues but that Talarico will be just as far left as ever if he wins the U.S. Senate race. They also note Talarico being asked who is favorite drag queen is and immediately having an answer.Then, they celebrate news from the U.S. Census Bureau that the nation's poverty rate is now at an all-time low. Jim looks at the overall economic picture in light of this news. Greg compares the very different political reactions between record high government assistance and news like this.Finally, they cringe as it's clear Sen. Mitch McConnell is deeply confused at best and clearly seems incapable of doing his job any longer. They discuss how unfair this lack of transparency by McConnell's staff is to his constituents and how Democratic Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear made this whole situation worse as well.Please visit our great sponsors:HomeServeProtect your home with HomeServe.  For 50% less your first year, go to https://HomeServe.com/Martini for the plan that's right for you.

Join us for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as we focus on a new poll showing too many Americans willing to sacrifice press freedom to have someone decide what's accurate, Illinois Democrats trying to put gunmakers on the hook for gun deaths and injuries, Republican Michele Tafoya keeping the Minnesota U.S. Senate race surprisingly close, and crime rates in Memphis plummeting after a year of federal help.First, we react to a new Pew survey showing 73 percent of Americans highly value freedom of the press, but a majority of people say they're willing to sacrifice some of that freedom for accuracy. We all should want a complete, accurate story, but who decides what's accurate? Surely not the government.Next, they fire back as Illinois Democrats try to put gunmakers on the hook for the costs related to murders and injuries connected with firearms. We'll explain what's really happening here and why the left's logic on this is badly flawed.Then, they're pleasantly surprised to see Republican Michele Tafoya within the margin of error in several polls in the Minnesota U.S. Senate race against Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan. Minnesota is traditionally a Democratic state. Can Tafoya's strengths plus a scandal-plagued Walz-Flanagan administration actually produce a win there for the GOP?Finally, they applaud the dramatic drop in violent in crime in Memphis after the Trump administration intervened, It turns out that cracking down on crime actually leads to less crime.Hillsdale College Radio General Manager Scot Bertram is on for Jim today.Please visit our great sponsors:HomeServeProtect your home with HomeServe.  For 50% less your first year, go to https://HomeServe.com/Martini for the plan that's right for you.

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they weigh in on California Gov. Gavin Newsom saying he will not run for president if Kamala Harris gets in the race, Maine Democratic Senate candidate Troy Jackson embracing the states "taking over" private property, Virginia paroling felons at a much higher rate since the Democrats took over this year, and Mitch McConnell returning to the U.S. Senate.First, they're very skeptical about Gov. Newsom saying he won't run for the White House in 2028 if Kamala Harris runs. If Newsom is telling the truth, Jim and Greg offer differing theories on why he's suddenly willing to skip the campaign he's obviously been planning for years.Next, they slam Troy Jackson for suggesting government take over property when rents are deemed too high. Jim explains why private property rights are a bedrock principle in America and why Jackson's approach is very dangerous.Then, they vent over the Virginia Parole Board appointed by Democrat Gov. Abigail Spanberger granting parole to convicted felons - some of them violent criminals - at an exponentially higher pace than the board serving under recent GOP Gov. Glenn Youngkin.Finally, they comment on the return of Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell to Capitol Hill after being away for three months for health reasons. Questions persist about his condition. Jim and Greg are glad he's back and they're also glad he's almost done with his time in the Senate.Please visit our great sponsors:HomeServeProtect your home with HomeServe.  For 50% less your first year, go to https://HomeServe.com/Martini for the plan that's right for you.

Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss Wisconsin GOP gubernatorial nominee Tom Tiffany miraculously surviving a plane crash but the media response is very weird, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass refusing to testify in Congress about the devastating fires, more demonization of the holdout Clancy jury - this time by the media, and both of their teams winning their NFL openers.First, they're grateful that Tom Tiffany survived his plane crashing into a lake with only minor injuries. But they shake their heads as a Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reporter says the lake was "only" 30 feet deep at it's deepest point and the mean depth was just seven feet deep.Next, they react to LA Mayor Karen Bass saying she doesn't have time to testify about LA's devastating 2025 wildfires and she complains that her staff has to produce a lot of documents for the investigation.Then, they dig into the latest insanity following the Lindsay Clancy case - from CBS's Gayle King "needing a minute" after learning the holdout juror was a black man to another juror admitting their push for acquittal was partially designed to bring societal change for other women, and a local TV station digging into the holdout juror's past in an ongoing effort to demonize him.Finally, Jim and Greg celebrate the New York Jets and Chicago Bears both being 1-0 for the first time since...well, it's been a long time.Please visit our great sponsors:HomeServeProtect your home with HomeServe.  For 50% less your first year, go to https://HomeServe.com/Martini for the plan that's right for you.

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 AI whistleblowers warning that the technology could kill all of us within a decade, Abdul El-Sayed saying your kids should be "our kids," James Talarico being very slippery with the truth, and Democratic Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman participating in the GOP midterm convention.First, they react to a former Anthropic employee saying Anthropic and OpenAI are not operating responsibly, that AI will soon be beyond their control, and that it will kill all of us within the next decade. Jim and Greg don't think humanity will be wiped out over the next 10 years but they are bothered by tech company leaders who don't seem to care if they lose control of this technology.Then, they rip Michigan Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed for saying "If I had one political philosophy it's that I want us to build what we would build if we took seriously the idea that all of our kids were all of our kids." And of course he's using kids to further his radical, big government agenda.Next, they highlight the slick lying of Texas Democratic U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico. Now that he's running statewide, Talarico claims to have been a vocal critic of Pres. Biden's border policies at the time. But his argument implodes once it faces the truth.Finally, they discuss Sen. Fetterman taking part in the GOP midterm convention. Jim points out that Fetterman is hated on the left and too liberal for the right. So will Fetterman run for re-election and what will that look like?Please visit our great sponsors:ZocDocYour health matters and taking care of yourself shouldn't be complicated.

Join Jim and Greg for this special 3 Martini Lunch as they remember 25 years since the terrorist attacks in New York City, Washington, and in the skies over Pennsylvania, that changed our nation forever. First, they briefly share their own experiences from being in Washington on September 11, 2001. Then they consider the significant ways our nation and our world have changed since that horrible day.Next, they discuss the devastating realization five years ago that the Taliban would be back in power nearly 20 years after our military response to the 9/11 attacks began.Then, they consider how to approach the subject with children, young adults, or anyone too young to remember what 9/11 was like. Greg shares his family's powerful visit to the Flight 93 Memorial in Pennsylvania and Jim remembers how a trip to the Newseum in D.C. made an impact on his kids.Finally, they remember the inspirational moments that emerged from 9/11 and the days that followed.Please visit our great sponsors:ZocDocYour health matters and taking care of yourself shouldn't be complicated.

John Fetterman participating in the GOP midterm convention.First, they mark one year since the horrific, public murder of TPUSA Founder Charlie Kirk in Utah. They discuss the huge hole Charlie leaves in the conservative movement, the disgusting conspiracy theories Erika Kirk and others have been forced to endure, and how the right is more fractured without Charlie here.Next, they react to a former Anthropic employee saying Anthropic and OpenAI are not operating responsibly, that AI will soon be beyond their control, and that it will kill all of us within the next decade. Jim and Greg don't think humanity will be wiped out over the next 10 years but they are bothered by tech company leaders who don't seem to care if they lose control of this technology.Then they wince as President Trump promises $5,000 checks to every adult citizen if Republicans maintain majorities in the House and Senate. Jim and Greg explain how cutting checks like this over the past several years has not been good for our economy.Finally, they discuss Sen. Fetterman taking part in the GOP midterm convention. Jim points out that Fetterman is hated on the left and too liberal for the right.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they walk through the staggering admissions of multiple Lindsay Clancy jurors, the start of the GOP's midterm convention, the debate on the right about federal childcare dollars for with a stay-at-home parent, and Rhode Island's unconventional primary.First, they shake their heads in disgust as multiple jurors in the Lindsay Clancy case come forward and share utter absurdities ranging from being disappointed that the prosecution wasn't more compassionate to Clancy to being annoyed the holdout juror kept coming back to the fact Clancy killed her three children.Next, they discuss the Republican Party's midterm convention tonight and tomorrow in Texas. Jim and Greg like the concept but wonder about the timing against the start of the NFL season. Jim would also like to see more 2026 candidates on the schedle to speak.Then, they wade into the growing debate on the right about whether taxpayer subsides designed to cover childcare costs for families below a certain income level should also be given to familes with a stay-at-home mom or dad. Is this fairness or just more big government?Finally, they scratch their heads over Rhode Island's Wednesday primary today.Please visit our great sponsors:ZocDocYour health matters and taking care of yourself shouldn't be complicated.

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they dig into Abdul El-Sayed saying your kids should be "our kids," James Talarico being very slippery with the truth, Lindsay Clancy's attorney demonizing the holdout juror, and the same attorney asking President Trump for a pardon.First, they rip Michigan Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed for saying "If I had one political philosophy it's that I want us to build what we would build if we took seriously the idea that all of our kids were all of our kids." And of course he's using kids to further his radical, big government agenda.Next, they highlight the slick lying of Texas Democratic U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico. Now that he's running statewide, Talarico claims to have been a vocal critic of Pres. Biden's border policies at the time. But his argument implodes once it faces the truth.Then, they fume as Lindsay Clancy's attorney, Kevin Reddington, publicly demonizes the one juror who apparently voted to convict Clancy.  Finally, they react to another Reddington statement, this time asking President Trump to pardon Clancy. Greg explains why that makes no sense. Jim says Reddington is proving to be the living charicature of a sleazy defense lawyer.Please visit our great sponsors:ZocDocYour health matters and taking care of yourself shouldn't be complicated.

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 a terrific defense of capitalism in the face of CNN lefties trying to tie it to white supremacy, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel telling Jews to put the world's needs before their own survival, a Virginia mom getting convicted and put on a child abuse registry for letting her child take a walk, and actor Ryan Reynolds trashing the '80s.First, they applaud CNN panelist Kmele Foster for his robust defense of capitalism and how it is absurd for the left to try to link it to white supremacy as James Talarico and others have tried to do. Jim also explains that the frustrations many people think they have with capitalism is really the result of government regulation.Next, they're stunned as Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel, who is Jewish, tells Jews in her state that the world's needs are more important than their self-interest and survival. Jim and Greg explain just how insane this thinking is and what it tells us about Democratic Party politics.Then, they fume as police and child protection officials in Virginia convict a mom of five for contrubuting to the delinquency of a minor and place her on a child abuse and neglect registry for allowing her five-year-old son to take a walk alone in their neighborhood. Finally, they refuse to let actor Ryan Reynolds get away with calling the 1980's a "brutal, brutal time." Jim and Greg extol the greatness of the '80s and explain why Reynolds has no idea what he's talking about.Please visit our great sponsors:Icognihttps://incogni.com/3MLTake control of your digital footprint with Incogni today.

Jim and Greg also comment on Clancy being the latest to develop an intensely devoted fan club. What is wrong with these people?Then, they react to Fox News abruptly firing Maria Bartiromo.

Ed Markey easily winning his primary and immediately calling for Trump's impeachment, and Hunter Biden's latest weird confession.First, they applaud CNN panelist Kmele Foster for his robust defense of capitalism and how it is absurd for the left to try to link it to white supremacy as James Talarico and others have tried to do. Jim also explains that the frustrations many people think they have with capitalism is really the result of government regulation.Next, they roll their eyes as Rick Caruso, who lost the 2022 Los Angeles mayoral race to Karen Bass, suddenly reappears and seems shocked that the Democratic Socialists of America are a factor in this year's campaign.

Seth Moulton in the Democratic U.S. Senate primary in Massachusetts. And while some top Democrats are pretending otherwise, Markey immediately demanded the impeachment of President Trump if Democrats control Congress again.Finally, they're almost speechless as Hunter Biden declares himself 48.6 percent gay.

Jim also explains what happened as U.S.-Iranian hostilities flared up again last night.Next, they can only laugh as Sen. Bernie Sanders endorses Massachusetts Sen. Ed Markey for re-election in his Democratic primary Tuesday. Why? Sanders says Markey needs to win because the status quo is not working.

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 Democrats begging people to stop linking them with Hasan Piker, Abdul El-Sayed comparing circumcision to transgender surgeries for children, President Trump's “Economic D-Day” against Iran and companies doing business with the regime, and Los Angeles mayoral candidate Nithya Raman's pathetic example of an accomplishment.First, they enjoy watching Democrats squirm as they keep trying to dodge questions about the role of anti-Semitic influencer Hasan Piker in Democratic Party politics. Michigan Rep. Debbie Dingell is demanding an end to the questions. Meanwhile, Hunter Biden wants to find "common ground" with Piker.Next, they shake their heads as Abdul El-Sayed defends transgender surgeries for children by comparing them to circumcision. They also examine El-Sayed's attempt to distance himself from far-left influencer Hasan Piker.Then, they discuss President Trump's Operation Economic Outcast, designed to severely squeeze Iran and impose harsh consequences on countries and corporations doing business with the Iranian regime. Jim and Greg are optimistic the strategy could work, but only if the U.S. cracks down on every Iranian ally.Finally, they get a kick out of socialist Los Angeles councilwoman and mayoral candidate Nithya Raman bragging about how her office successfully painted a new crosswalk across a badly cracked street just nine months after her constituents asked her to do it. Please visit our great sponsors:QuoMoney is on the line.

Jim and Greg contend the renaming of  the lake doesn't accomplish anything, and Jim notes that our current trade policies only make life tougher for GOP candidates in the midterms.Next, they get a kick out of socialist Los Angeles councilwoman and mayoral candidate Nithya Raman bragging about how her office successfully painted a new crosswalk across a badly cracked street just nine months after her constituents asked her to do it. Then, they react to new reporting from the Wall Street Journal that CIA Director John Ratcliffe recently went to Moscow in a secretive way to demand Russia refrain from attacking NATO members and reiterating that NATO members will defend their partners. Jim applauds Trump and Ratcliffe for sending that message but wants to know what intelligence prompted the trip and that message.Finally, Jim vents after Politico blatantly distorts his reporting on a possible AOC presidential bid and makes other amateurish errors.Please visit our great sponsors:QuoMoney is on the line.

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 a socialist state lawmaker shocking the Democrats by winning the Florida U.S. Senate primary, a company admitting it completely fabricated recent polling results, the U.S. national debt reaching $40 trillion, and a majority of Dems, independents, and Republicans favoring price controls.First, they discuss the stunning victory of socialist Angie Nixon in the Florida Democratic U.S. Senate primary over the heavily-favored establishment pick, Alexander Vindman. Jim and Greg also discuss how this result may impact the governor's race, and they round up a number of encouraging results in GOP congressional primaries.Next, they dig into "Median Strategies" announcing it is done polling, fabricated all of their results, and the whole operation was a social experiment to see how much fake polling could get reported without anyone bothering to verify the results were legitimate.Then, they wince as the U.S. national debt surges past $40 trillion. They fume at both parties for refusing to deal with this problem long before it got this bad. They also blast Democrats and some Republicans who blocked the effort more than 20 years ago to allow Americans to invest some of the money they pay in Social Security taxes. The payoff now would have been huge.Finally, they groan as a new poll shows a majority of Democrats, independents, and even Republicans all favor price controls. Charlie argues that many politicians are flat out lying about our current economic conditions and are convincing too many people of the wrong remedy.Please visit our great sponsors:Brooklyn Beddinghttps://BrooklynBedding.comGet 30% off sitewide Brooklyn Bedding with promo code 3ML. BetterHelphttps://betterhelp.com/3ML See the reviews, see what stands out, and see if BetterHelp is right for you. Noble Goldhttps://NobleGoldInvestments.com/3MLIf you want to see how physical gold and silver could fit into your portfolio, download Noble Gold Investments FREE Wealth Protection Kit.New episodes every weekday. 

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they consider Mike Rogers finding plenty of Democrats to endorse him publicly in the Michigan Senate race, Florida Democrat/Socialist Senate nominee Angie Nixon saying Republicans are trying to kill black people, the U.S. Navy reportedly considering removing the name of a World War II hero from a forthcoming aircraft carrier and possibly renaming it for President Trump, and California finally counting a lot more votes in a special congressional election.First, they applaud Michigan GOP Senate nominee Mike Rogers for aggressively reaching out to Democrats who feel uneasy about the far-left agenda Abdul El-Sayed would bring to the U.S. Senate. Next, they reveal a whole lot more about Florida Democratic U.S. Senate nominee Angie Nixon. In multiple interviews that have emerged since her surprising win on Tuesday, Nixon claims Republicans want to kill black people. She also contends Congress has plenty of money for government-run health care.Then, they discuss the U.S. Navy reportedly considering whether to remove Pearl Harbor hero Doris Miller's name from a future aircraft carrier. The same reports also say some in the Navy want to rename it after President Trump. Jim contends no sitting president should have a carrier named for him and removing Miller's name would be seen as an insult.Finally, they give a golf clap to California election officials for managing to count enough votes to determine a winner in a California congressional election within 48 hours.Please visit our great sponsors:Brooklyn Beddinghttps://BrooklynBedding.comGet 30% off sitewide Brooklyn Bedding with promo code 3ML. BetterHelphttps://betterhelp.com/3ML See the reviews, see what stands out, and see if BetterHelp is right for you. Noble Goldhttps://NobleGoldInvestments.com/3MLIf you want to see how physical gold and silver could fit into your portfolio, download Noble Gold Investments FREE Wealth Protection Kit.New episodes every weekday. 

Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch as they dig into the U.S. national debt reaching $40 trillion, Los Angeles taxpayers involuntarily bankrolling local elections, Mike Lindell demanding an audit of an election he lost by 45,000 votes, and California's vote counting is once again a national embarrassment.First, they wince as the U.S. national debt surges past $40 trillion. They fume at both parties for refusing to deal with this problem long before it got this bad. They also blast Democrats and some Republicans who blocked the effort more than 20 years ago to allow Americans to invest some of the money they pay in Social Security taxes. The payoff now would have been huge.Next, they shake their heads as Los Angeles will give five dollars of taxpayer money to local candidates for every dollar actually donated to them. It's yet another symptom of a truly rotten political system, which now has two dreadful candidates facing off in the mayoral election in November.Then, they get into Mike Lindell's latest allegations of suspicious election results. This time he's challenging his loss in last week's Minneota GOP primary for governor, which he lost by 45,000 votes. Finally, they look at California's latest vote counting disgrace. The vote totals in a special congressional election have not budged in more than 24 hours. How are California Democrats not humiliated by this ridiculous system?Please visit our great sponsors:Brooklyn Beddinghttps://BrooklynBedding.comGet 30% off sitewide Brooklyn Bedding with promo code 3ML. BetterHelphttps://betterhelp.com/3ML See the reviews, see what stands out, and see if BetterHelp is right for you. Noble Goldhttps://NobleGoldInvestments.com/3MLIf you want to see how physical gold and silver could fit into your portfolio, download Noble Gold Investments FREE Wealth Protection Kit.New episodes every weekday. 

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they react to a socialist state lawmaker shocking the Democrats by winning the Florida U.S. Senate primary, South Carolina Sen. Darline Graham admitting she is not well-versed at all on national security, a company admitted it completely fabricated recent polling results, and two Dan Sullivans appearing likely to make the November ballot for U.S. Senate in Alaska.First, they discuss the stunning victory of socialist Angie Nixon in the Florida Democratic U.S. Senate primary over the heavily-favored establishment pick, Alexander Vindman. Jim and Greg also discuss how this result may impact the governor's race, and they round up a number of encouraging results in GOP congressional primaries.Next, they head to the South Carolina GOP U.S. Senate debate as Sen. Darline Graham whiffs on a question about Taiwan and admits, "National security is not my thing." Jim explains why this answer ought to be considered disqualifying, especially considering the challenges we face from China.Then, they dig into "Median Strategies" announcing it is done polling, fabricated all of their results, and the whole operation was a social experiment to see how much fake polling could get reported without anyone bothering to verify the results were legitimate.Finally, they groan over Alaska's ridiculous system, where four candidates advance from Tuesday's primary to the general election. This year the four U.S. Senate candidates will include two named Dan Sullivan, one of whom is accused of running just to sow confusion for the current Sen. Sullivan. The eventual winner will be decided through the execrable ranked choice voting system. Please visit our great sponsors:Brooklyn Beddinghttps://BrooklynBedding.comGet 30% off sitewide Brooklyn Bedding with promo code 3ML. BetterHelphttps://betterhelp.com/3ML See the reviews, see what stands out, and see if BetterHelp is right for you. Noble Goldhttps://NobleGoldInvestments.com/3MLIf you want to see how physical gold and silver could fit into your portfolio, download Noble Gold Investments FREE Wealth Protection Kit.New episodes every weekday. 

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 Abdul El-Sayed's latest radical economic idea, James Talarico claiming school choice and the SAVE America Act are designed as tools of oppression against black people, actor Jeff Daniels missing the point of his new movie about Reagan, & a Democrat rejects an endorsement from Kamala Harris.First, they shudder as El-Sayed says he would be more aggressive than Bernie Sanders in government taking over private companies. Charlie explains why this is basically totalitarianism. And they fume over how the left has twisted the definition of "democracy" beyond recognition.Next, they shake their heads as Democratic Texas U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico says Voter ID is designed to suppress the black vote and that school choice is a "tool of segregation." Charlie says 80 percent of black voters supporting Voter ID undercuts Talarico's pathetic narrative. And Greg sees a pattern in how Talarico and other Democrats approach these issues.Then, they react to Jeff Daniels suggesting the takeway from his new movie about the 1986 Reagan-Gorbachev summit in Iceland  is that John Lennon's Imagine might really come true. Charlie explains the real reason the U.S. won the Cold War, why Daniels is missing the main point of the story, and why Reagan and Imagine have virtually nothing in common.Finally, they get a good laugh as Democrat Alaska U.S. Senate candidate Mary Peltola publicly rejects an endorsement from former Vice President Kamala Harris. But other accounts suggests Peltola asked for the endorsement.Please visit our great sponsors:Brooklyn Beddinghttps://BrooklynBedding.comGet 30% off sitewide Brooklyn Bedding with promo code 3ML. BetterHelphttps://betterhelp.com/3ML See the reviews, see what stands out, and see if BetterHelp is right for you. Noble Goldhttps://NobleGoldInvestments.com/3MLIf you want to see how physical gold and silver could fit into your portfolio, download Noble Gold Investments FREE Wealth Protection Kit.New episodes every weekday. 

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 dig into Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear joining the left-wing chorus wanting to abolish the Electoral College, why fewer men are working now and what can be done to reverse it, a professor at Cal-Berkeley fed up with incoming students who are way behind on math, and a majority of Dems, independents, and Republicans favoring price controls.First, they rip. Gov. Beshear for failing to understand the the purpose of the Electoral College. Charlie and Greg also explain why scrapping it would be really bad, both for Kentucky and for Beshear's fledgling White House ambitions.Next, they wince at a New York Post editorial highlighting how men have fallen behind women in employment and that it's part of an ongoing trend, but it's one usually triggered by some shock like the financial crisis or the Covid pandemic. Charlie says we need to realize the economy doesn't look llike it did a couple of decades ago, and getting an accurate picture is a big step towards addressing the problem.Then, they applaud a University of California-Berkeley math professor for venting that many of her students are entering the school anywhere from five to eight years behind in math and that she has to take time to teach concepts they should have learned in middle school. The professor, as well as Charlie and Greg, point to admissions policies and other factors that distract schools from simply admitting the best of the best.Finally, they groan as a new poll shows a majority of Democrats, independents, and even Republicans all favor price controls. Charlie argues that many politicians are flat out lying about our current economic conditions and are convincing too many people of the wrong remedy.Please visit our great sponsors:Brooklyn Beddinghttps://BrooklynBedding.comGet 30% off sitewide Brooklyn Bedding with promo code 3ML. BetterHelphttps://betterhelp.com/3ML See the reviews, see what stands out, and see if BetterHelp is right for you. Noble Goldhttps://NobleGoldInvestments.com/3MLIf you want to see how physical gold and silver could fit into your portfolio, download Noble Gold Investments FREE Wealth Protection Kit.New episodes every weekday. 

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 AOC trying to giggle away the left's repressive and woke lurch since 2020, Abdul El-Sayed becoming the latest Democrat to hate Thanksgiving, Tucker Carlson and Hunter Biden blaming Israel for Hunter's laptop scandal, and the WNBA still failing to define a woman.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 throw up their hands as Abdul El-Sayed becomes the latest Democrat in this cycle to express his hatred for Thanksgiving. It was seven years ago and El-Sayed insists he does not believe that anymore. But it came after his run for governor in 2018. They also react to El-Sayed's comments comparing football to the transatlantic slave trade.Then, they groan as Tucker Carlson and Hunter Biden blame Israel for Hunter's laptop fiasco and pushing the story to the media. Jim begs Biden to go away and he also addresses growing concerns that Tucker will start a third party designed to sink Republicans in 2028.Finally, they laugh as WNBA officials meet for hours to discuss who should be eligible to play in the league and they couldn't come to any conclusions.Please visit our great sponsors:AG1https://DrinkAG1.com/3ML Start your first AGI subscription order, and get a FREE AG1 Flavor Sampler and a FREE bottle of Vitamin D3 + K2 in your Welcome Kit.Noble Goldhttps://NobleGoldInvestments.com/3MLIf you want to see how physical gold and silver could fit into your portfolio, download Noble Gold Investments FREE Wealth Protection Kit.IncogniTake control of your digital footprint today.

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they cover Mike Rogers leading the Michigan Senate race but "college-educated" white women overwhelmingly backing Abdul El-Sayed, Minnesota Lt. Gov. and Dem Senate nominee Peggy Flanagan blaming only Gov. Tim Walz for the massive fraud in her state, New Jersey Dems spending a ridiculous amount of taxpayer dollars on a portrait, and the WNBA still failing to define a woman.First, they welcome the only encouraging poll of a key Senate race released by Fox News yesterday. Mike Rogers leads Abdul El-Sayed by four points in Michigan. White men are overwhelmingly behind Rogers, as are women who did not go to college. But "college-educated" women back El-Sayed 60-37 percent. We dig into the numbers and why that group is so much different than the others.Next, they shake their heads as Minnesota Lt. Gov. and Democratic U.S. Senate nominee Peggy Flanagan says she bears no responsibility for the fraud scandal in her state because "the buck stops" with Gov. Tim Walz. She also wishes somebody would have done something about it sooner. Jim and Greg suspect voters will not be satisfied with that answer.Then, they dig into New Jersey spending $135,000 in taxpayer dollars on a portrait of former Gov. Phil Murphy. That's $50,000 more than the price tag for Gov. Chris Christie's portrait eight years ago. Jim and Greg have a simple and very cost-effective solution.Finally, they laugh as WNBA officials meet for hours to discuss who should be eligible to play in the league and they couldn't come to any conclusions.Please visit our great sponsors:AG1https://DrinkAG1.com/3ML Start your first AGI subscription order, and get a FREE AG1 Flavor Sampler and a FREE bottle of Vitamin D3 + K2 in your Welcome Kit.Noble Goldhttps://NobleGoldInvestments.com/3MLIf you want to see how physical gold and silver could fit into your portfolio, download Noble Gold Investments FREE Wealth Protection Kit.IncogniTake control of your digital footprint today.

Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss how the U.S. Secret Service smuggled President Trump out of Turkey on a different plane without the media or his staff knowing, Texas Republicans getting very worried about Ken Paxton losing the U.S. Senate race, Abdul El-Sayed becoming the latest Democrat to hate Thanksgiving, and the cautionary tale of former rising political star Andrew Gillum.First, they dive into how the Secret Service used covert moves to get President Trump onto a different plane when he was leaving Turkey last month due to the threat of an Iranian attack. Some in the media are crying foul because they or their colleagues were left on the original plane. Jim and Greg walk through what criticism is fair and what is not.Next, they get nauseous as Republicans in Texas openly worry that Ken Paxton is on track to lose his U.S. Senate race against James Talarico. GOP operatives tell Mark Halperin that Paxton is being lazy in his campaigning and evasive in addressing his many scandals. But this is Texas. Against Talarico. Is it really that dire?Then, they throw up their hands as Abdul El-Sayed becomes the latest Democrat in this cycle to express his hatred for Thanksgiving. It was seven years ago and El-Sayed insists he does not believe that anymore. But it came after his run for governor in 2018. They also react to El-Sayed's comments comparing football to the transatlantic slave trade.Finally, they detail the latest legal trouble for former Tallahassee, Florida, Mayor Andrew Gillum, who was narrowly defeated by Ron DeSantis in the 2018 governor's race. Since then Gillum has faced numerous drug charges and other revelations. Jim wonders about the impact of being a political star everyone quickly forgets about. Greg says Florida dodged a huge bullet.Please visit our great sponsors:AG1https://DrinkAG1.com/3ML Start your first AGI subscription order, and get a FREE AG1 Flavor Sampler and a FREE bottle of Vitamin D3 + K2 in your Welcome Kit.Noble Goldhttps://NobleGoldInvestments.com/3MLIf you want to see how physical gold and silver could fit into your portfolio, download Noble Gold Investments FREE Wealth Protection Kit.IncogniTake control of your digital footprint today.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they dig into Tuesday's critical primary results in three states, another blue state enthusiastically embracing abortion up to the moment of birth, Tucker Carlson and Hunter Biden blaming Israel for Hunter's laptop scandal, and another House incumbent losing his primary.First, they walk through the primary results in Wisconsin, Minnesota, and South Carolina, including how socialist Francesca Hong blew a nearly 30 point lead within just a few days, whether Michele Tafoya can win a U.S. Senate seat in Minnesota, and what Tuesday's South Carolina U.S. Senate primary might tell us about who might win the runoff there.Next, they shudder as Massachusetts becomes the latest state to legalize abortion for any reason or no reason up to the moment of birth. Greg points out that any third trimester complication can be dealt with by delivering instead of killing the baby. Jim details how drastically the left's position on abortion has changed in recent years.Then, they groan as Tucker Carlson and Hunter Biden blame Israel for Hunter's laptop fiasco and pushing the story to the media. Jim begs Biden to go away and he also addresses growing concerns that Tucker will start a third party designed to sink Republicans in 2028.Finally, they note Connecticut Rep. John Larson losing his primary on Tuesday, adding to a much longer list of incumbents fired by their own party's voters in 2026 thna in most cycles.Please visit our great sponsors:AG1https://DrinkAG1.com/3ML Start your first AGI subscription order, and get a FREE AG1 Flavor Sampler and a FREE bottle of Vitamin D3 + K2 in your Welcome Kit.Noble Goldhttps://NobleGoldInvestments.com/3MLIf you want to see how physical gold and silver could fit into your portfolio, download Noble Gold Investments FREE Wealth Protection Kit.IncogniTake control of your digital footprint today.

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss the Trump political team reportedly telling Ohio Republicans to stop trying to force Max Miller out of his re-election bid, the Democratic Socialists of America having no ideas beyond slogans, Mamdani's rent adviser owing more than $108,000 in rent, and critical primaries being held today in three states.First, they shake their heads as Politico reports Trump's political advisers urged the Ohio GOP to stop pressuring Rep. Miller to drop out and resign from Congress because it won't work. Miller is facing numerous serious abuse allegations and the polls show he is likely to lose in November.Next, they highlight Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) Co-Chair Megan Romer having no idea how much the DSA would tax the rich, how it would abolish prisons, end borders, or defund the police. Jim is amazed Romer is still doing interviews. Greg argues her evasive answers on taxes aren't much different from regular Democrats.Then, they get a kick out of news that New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's rent adviser has not paid her own rent since 2021 and owes more than $108,000 in back rent. Jim and Greg discuss how this case seems to be another example of the left trying to demonize landlords.Finally, they offer a quick preview and predictions for key primaries today in Wisconsin, Minnesota, and South Carolina.Please visit our great sponsors:AG1https://DrinkAG1.com/3ML Start your first AGI subscription order, and get a FREE AG1 Flavor Sampler and a FREE bottle of Vitamin D3 + K2 in your Welcome Kit.Noble Goldhttps://NobleGoldInvestments.com/3MLIf you want to see how physical gold and silver could fit into your portfolio, download Noble Gold Investments FREE Wealth Protection Kit.IncogniTake control of your digital footprint today.

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.Please visit our great sponsors:AG1https://DrinkAG1.com/3ML Start your first AGI subscription order, and get a FREE AG1 Flavor Sampler and a FREE bottle of Vitamin D3 + K2 in your Welcome Kit.Noble Goldhttps://NobleGoldInvestments.com/3MLIf you want to see how physical gold and silver could fit into your portfolio, download Noble Gold Investments FREE Wealth Protection Kit.IncogniTake control of your digital footprint today.

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.Please visit our great sponsors:AG1Head to https://DrinkAG1.com/3ML and get a free AG1 Travel Case along with 7 free AG1 Travel Packs in your Welcome Kit when you sign up for your first AG1 subscription.  While supplies last.ZocDocYour health matters and taking care of yourself shouldn't be complicated.

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?Please visit our great sponsors:QuoMoney is on the line. Always say hello with QUO.

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.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.

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.Please visit our great sponsors:QuoMoney is on the line.

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.

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.Please visit our great sponsors:QuoMoney is on the line.

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.Please visit our great sponsors:OneSkinGet 15% off OneSkin Summer Bundles with promo code 3ML at https://oneskin.co/3mlQuoMoney is on the line.
