Anne Ghesquière reçoit le célèbre moine bouddhiste Matthieu Ricard. Peut-on tous apprendre à s'émerveiller ? Comment la beauté du monde transforme-t-elle notre regard ? En quoi l'émerveillement peut-il ouvrir à l'amour, au respect et à l'action pour le vivant ? Quel lien existe-t-il entre la voie bouddhiste et cette capacité à s'émerveiller pleinement ? Matthieu Ricard nous invite à revenir à la présence, à la joie simple et à la conscience de l'interdépendance. Son livre Émerveillement est publié aux Éditions de la Martinière.

This week on The Go-To Mise en Place, we sit down with Gabe Pryce — chef, writer, ferret-wrangler and co-founder of Rita's in Soho.From a legendary (and surreal) childhood acting debut in Casualty to the kitchens of New York and the streets of Mexico City, Gabe shares the winding path that led him to co-create one of London's most beloved neighbourhood restaurants. We talk early days, industry heartbreaks, philosophical food writing, and why there's no shame in simply wanting to make a great chicken roll.He opens up about hospitality's hidden emotional weight, the long game of writing scripts that may never get made, and what it means to speak out when the food world's gatekeepers get it wrong. We also cover: ferrets named Lancelot, haunted basements, why London can't quite crack pizza by the slice, and the pure joy of a lamb's tongue dish that changed everything.And if that isn't enough, as always we get into Gabe's ultimate foodie weekend (spoiler: it ends in New York with a very big-collared shirt), his most haunting kitchen day, and the underrated genius of Brooks Headley's Superiority Burger.------Please leave us a great rating and a comment and share it with your friends - it really helps us grow as a show.If you're in the industry and are looking for the greatest POS system in the world than look no further as Blinq are tearing up the rulebook—no long-term contracts, no hidden fees, and no per-device charges.

Essentiel – Le rendez-vous culture de RCJ – présenté par Sandrine Sebbane. Elle reçoit Sébastien Spitzer pour son livre « Petite philosophie de la sieste » aux éditions de la Martinière À propos du livre : « L'homme qui ne voulait pas mourir » paru aux éditions Viviane Hamy Amateurs de siestes, réjouissez-vous : vous avez compris le vrai sens de l'existence. Oui, c'est en retournant vous coucher que vous pratiquez la plus sage des philosophies : celle qui consiste à respecter le rythme naturel de vos vies. Les grands génies le savent : la sieste est le secret des intelligences fécondes. Que serait l'humanité sans le repos de Newton sous son arbre ? La pomme tombe et lui donne l'idée de la théorie de la gravité ! Même sans nourrir d'aussi grandes ambitions, il est conseillé de s'adonner à la « métaphysique du hamac » : elle apaise corps et âme. Au travers d'une vingtaine de textes courts, Sébastien Spitzer nous confirme que rien ne sert de courir, il faut dormir à point. Sébastien Spitzer est écrivain, essayiste et enseignant à Sciences Po. Il est l'auteur de romans couronnés par de nombreux prix littéraires, dont Ces rêves qu'on piétine (Prix Stanislas du premier roman, Prix Emmanuel Roblès) ou Le Cœur battant du monde (finaliste du Prix Goncourt des lycéens). Il est un grand amateur de sieste.

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.Please visit our great sponsors:Talk it out with Betterhelp.

Beautiful women are often underestimated.Miss Universe contestant Angela Martini's outer life may “appear” effortlessly perfect, but few would guess the sacrifices she's endured and the battles she's fought—not only for herself, but for the freedom of the man she loved, now her husband. Wisely escaping a potential kidnapping as a child, to ‘dreaming' her way into a purposeful life, and refusing to see herself as a victim—Angela's story is one of triumph over adversity.Also in this interview, she also shares the touching and powerful concept of “BESA”— a key tenet of her heritage. Angela's journey from Albania to the global stage is not just about her modeling career but also about her resilience and refusal to be a victim of circumstance. Her memoir – Love. Hope. Light. (Simon & Schuster)– delves into the struggles she faced in her rise to fame and the transformative lessons she's learned, particularly about love and spirituality. How her modeling career inspired a journey of personal growth. The lessons she's learned about self-love and spirituality Life's intentional intersections and ‘accidental meetings.' Her husband's story, their fight for justice, and how it's reshaped their lives.

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.Please visit our great sponsors:Talk it out with Betterhelp.

If you know anything about us, you'll know we love us a Martini. So with National Martini Day coming up on Thursday 19th June, followed by World Martini Day on Saturday 21st June, it would be rude of us not to give a little nod to our signature drink.With that in mind, we've picked out two very different bases for our Martinis, we go high proof with Beluga Gold Line Vodka and low – not in quality, but volume – with Second Sip, a new, recently released 20% abv gin created very much with sessional Martinis in mind by industry stalwarts Leo Robitschek and Nick Strangeway.Make Mine A Martini – 130 cocktails and canapés for fabulous parties by Kay Plunkett-Hogge, is our book choice and it does exactly what it says on the tin. That's if you're staying in… if you're going out, we can't recommend the seven-strong Martini List at Twenty8 NoMad in London highly enough. In the hotseat, we have Tibor Krascsenics, group beverage director at LPM Dubai. He gives us the lowdown on the brand new, extremely stylish cocktail menu, conceived and perfectly presented as a glossy fashion magazine as well as sharing his tip for the perfect Martini.For more from The Cocktail Lovers, visit thecocktaillovers.comFor the products featured in this episode, see websites below:What we're mixing:Turf Club45ml gin (Plymouth or London Dry)45ml dry vermouth7.5ml maraschino liqueur2 dashes absinthe2 dashes orange bittersYour choice of lemon twist /olive/maraschino cherry to garnishMethod: Stir all ingredients over ice and strain into a chilled cocktail glass.

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. Please visit our great sponsors:Talk it out with Betterhelp.

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.Check out our great sponsors:Talk it out with Betterhelp.

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. Please visit our great sponsors:Talk it out with Betterhelp.

Préconisée pour les enfants et les personnes âgées, la sieste a parfois mauvaise réputation pour ceux qui ont la malchance d'être entre les deux âges.

Mais que les adeptes du petit somme se rassurent, la sieste a aussi ses défenseurs. C'est même une tradition dans certains pays comme en Espagne ou en Italie pour supporter les heures chaudes de l'après-midi. La Chine en a fait un droit constitutionnel.

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.Please visit our great sponsors:Upgrade your skincare routine with Caldera Lab and see the difference.  Visit https://CalderaLab.com/3ML and use code 3ML at checkout for 20% off your first order. If your revenues are at least in the seven figures, download the free e-book from NetSuite, “Navigating Global Trade: 3 Insights for Leaders” at https://Netsuite.com/Martini

The Martini was a once simple cocktail that then became very complicated. At some point the definition of a martini changed and it became more about the vessel and the ingredients were anything you wanted them to be. But there's also nothing wrong with a “martini” that has no gin and no vermouth either. This week we're making a slew of martinis, from the simple to the complex. You can find the recipes on our blog. If you have a question for the Barrel to Bottle Crew, email us at comments@binnys.com, or reach out to us on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.

We're entering the Daniel Craig era of James Bond. Matt Lackey joins me once again to discuss  Casino Royale (2006) — the explosive reboot that redefined James Bond for a new era, introducing us to Daniel Craig's grittier, more grounded 007.To pair with this intense and stylish Bond outing, I'm mixing up the iconic Vesper Martini using the original recipe from Ian Fleming's Casino Royale novel: “Three measures of Gordon's, one of vodka, half a measure of Kina Lillet…”We break down:The film's bold tone shift from previous Bond entriesHow Craig's Bond compares to those before himMy personal experience watching every James Bond film leading up to this oneThoughts on starting the Casino Royale novel and how it deepens my appreciation for the character and this adaptationWhether you're a longtime Bond fan or just getting into the franchise, this episode is packed with sharp insights, shaken cocktails, and Bond nostalgia.

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.Please visit our great sponsors:Upgrade your skincare routine with Caldera Lab and see the difference.  Visit https://CalderaLab.com/3ML and use code 3ML at checkout for 20% off your first order. If your revenues are at least in the seven figures, download the free e-book from NetSuite, “Navigating Global Trade: 3 Insights for Leaders” at https://Netsuite.com/MartiniThis spring, get up to 50% off select plants at Fast Growing Trees with code MARTINI, plus an extra 15% off at checkout on your first purchase!

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.Please visit our great sponsors:Upgrade your skincare routine with Caldera Lab and see the difference.  Visit https://CalderaLab.com/3ML and use code 3ML at checkout for 20% off your first order. If your revenues are at least in the seven figures, download the free e-book from NetSuite, “Navigating Global Trade: 3 Insights for Leaders” at https://Netsuite.com/Martini

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.Please visit our great sponsors:Upgrade your skincare routine with Caldera Lab and see the difference.  Visit https://CalderaLab.com/3ML and use code 3ML at checkout for 20% off your first order. If your revenues are at least in the seven figures, download the free e-book from NetSuite, “Navigating Global Trade: 3 Insights for Leaders” at https://Netsuite.com/Martini

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.Please visit our great sponsors:Upgrade your skincare routine with Caldera Lab and see the difference.  Visit https://CalderaLab.com/3ML and use code 3ML at checkout for 20% off your first order. If your revenues are at least in the seven figures, download the free e-book from NetSuite, “Navigating Global Trade: 3 Insights for Leaders” at https://Netsuite.com/MartiniThis spring, get up to 50% off select plants at Fast Growing Trees with code MARTINI, plus an extra 15% off at checkout on your first purchase!

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.Please visit our sponsors:Fatty15 is on a mission to help you live healthier, longer.  Get an additional 15% off their 90-day subscription Starter Kit by going to https://Fatty15.com/3ML and use code 3ML at checkout. Cut through political bias with Ground News's Vantage Plan—visit https://GroundNews.com/MARTINI to get 40% off for a limited time!It's free, online, and easy to start—no strings attached.

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. Please visit our sponsors:Cut through political bias with Ground News's Vantage Plan—visit https://GroundNews.com/MARTINI to get 40% off for a limited time!It's free, online, and easy to start—no strings attached.

Add all ingredients to a shaker with ice. 2. Shake until chilled and strain into a chilled Coupe glass with a Tajín rim. 3. Garnish with three olives.

Pour yourself a (or 4) martinis and settle in for our review (roast) of the 2024 movie, The Substance.

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.Please visit our great sponsors:Fatty15 is on a mission to help you live healthier, longer.  Get an additional 15% off their 90-day subscription Starter Kit by going to https://Fatty15.com/3ML and use code 3ML at checkout. Cut through political bias with Ground News's Vantage Plan—visit https://GroundNews.com/MARTINI to get 40% off for a limited time!It's free, online, and easy to start—no strings attached.

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.Please visit our great sponsors:Cut through political bias with Ground News's Vantage Plan—visit https://GroundNews.com/MARTINI to get 40% off for a limited time!It's free, online, and easy to start—no strings attached.

Today, Greg and Jim take time to honor those who gave their lives for our great country. They also give you a look behind the scenes of the Three Martini Lunch podcast.First, they pay tribute to the heroic men and women who paid the ultimate price to defend our liberty throughout our history.Next, they pull back the curtain to show you how they plan each episode of the Three Martini lunch and select their stories.Finally, they discuss how each episode organically unfolds.Please visit our great sponsors:Fatty15 is on a mission to help you live healthier, longer.

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?Please visit our great sponsors:If I needed to find a doctor quickly, Zocdoc is what I'd use.

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.Please visit our great sponsors:It's free, online, and easy to start—no strings attached.

Bond… James Bond. On this episode of Flavor Odyssey, we explore the iconic Vesper Martini, famously known as James Bond's drink of choice. But does this classic cocktail pair well with a cigar, and if so, which one?

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.Please visit our great sponsors:It's free, online, and easy to start—no strings attached.

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.Please visit our great sponsors:If I needed to find a doctor quickly, Zocdoc is what I'd use.

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.Please visit our great sponsors:No missed calls, no missed customers with OpenPhone.Get 20% off your first 6 months at https://Openphone.com/3mlCut your cloud bill in half when you switch to OCI by Oracle.

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. Please visit our great sponsors:Cut your cloud bill in half when you switch to OCI by Oracle.

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.Please visit our great sponsors:No missed calls, no missed customers with OpenPhone.

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. Please visit our great sponsors:No missed calls, no missed customers with OpenPhone.

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.Please visit our great sponsors:No missed calls, no missed customers with OpenPhone.

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.Please visit our great sponsors:This spring, get up to 50% off select plants at Fast Growing Trees with code MARTINI, plus an extra 15% off at checkout on your first purchase!  Visit https://fastgrowingtrees.com/MartiniFuture-proof business operations with NetSuite by Oracle.

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.Please visit our great sponsors:This podcast is sponsored by BetterHelp.

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.Please visit our great sponsors:This spring, get up to 50% off select plants at Fast Growing Trees with code MARTINI, plus an extra 15% off at checkout on your first purchase!  Visit https://fastgrowingtrees.com/MartiniFuture-proof business operations with NetSuite by Oracle.
