Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch as they react to Nazi tattoo guy Graham Platner effectively clinching the Democratic U.S. Senate nomination in Maine, a powerful new campaign ad from Los Angeles mayoral candiate Spencer Pratt, a possibile rift in the Trump administration over the war in Iran, and a strange new poll in the California governor's race.First, Jim and Greg break down Gov. Janet Mills dropping out of the Maine U.S. Senate race, a move that all but hands the nomination to Platner. They revisit the disturbing controversies tied to Platner and highlight how aggressively Mills had previously criticized him.Next, they applaud Pratt's new ad in the LA mayor's race. It establishes a stark contrast with failed incumbent Karen Bass, but can Bass be defeated in such a deep blue area.Then, they react to a report from The Atlantic suggesting that aides to Vice President JD Vance are concerned that Donald Trump may not be receiving accurate information from the Pentagon regarding the Iran conflict and the state of U.S. missile stockpiles.Finally, they tear apart a new poll on the California governor's race over it's bizarre descriptions of the candidates.Please visit our great sponsors:Pocket HoseFor a limited time, get two free gifts—a 360° rotating pocket pivot and a thumb drive nozzle—when you buy the Pocket Hose Ballistic; just text MARTINI to 64000, message and data rates may apply.Fast Growing TreesBetter plants, better growing, and an extra 20% off with code MARTINI at https://FastGrowingTrees.com/Martini for a limited time; terms and conditions may apply.OneSkinTarget the visible signs of aging with OneSking’s OS-01 Peptide.  For a limited time, try OneSkin with 15% off using code 3ML at https://Oneskin.co/3MLNew episodes every weekday. 👉 Subscribe to the show so you never miss a moment.Follow us for more daily clips, updates, and commentary:FacebookInstagramYoutubeOther InfoWebsite

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down the Justice Department’s new charges against former FBI Director James Comey, how the Trump blockade is crippling Iran’s economy, and the eye-opening deleted tweets from a leading Democratic U.S. Senate candidate. Plus, they examine the latest twist in Al Gore’s climate change charade.First, they react to a federal grand jury returning two felony indictments against Comey tied to his “8647” Instagram post last year. Comey now faces charges of threatening to kill President Trump and then distributing that threat through social media. Jim and Greg have no love for Comey, but they explain why this prosecution is likely to fail.Next, they examine the devastating impact the war and the U.S. blockade of the Strait of Hormuz are having on Iran’s economy: soaring inflation, widespread job losses, and an oil industry in crisis. But will this create enough pressure for meaningful change inside Iran?Then, they shake their heads at some of the now-deleted social media posts from Michigan Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Mallory McMorrow, including her comments about the auto industry, the death of a conservative U.S. Supreme Court justice, and the future of the United States.Finally, they get a good laugh as former Vice President Al Gore, after decades of warning about the supposedly catastrophic effects of global warming, is now sounding the alarm in the opposite direction.Please visit our great sponsors:Pocket HoseFor a limited time, get two free gifts—a 360° rotating pocket pivot and a thumb drive nozzle—when you buy the Pocket Hose Ballistic; just text MARTINI to 64000, message and data rates may apply.Noble GoldSchedule a free gold strategy session with Noble Gold.

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they react to The View co-host Ana Navarro hoping Republicans were shaken enough by Saturday’s attempted shooting to pass gun control legislation, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis unveiling a new congressional map that could flip multiple House seats towards the GOP, the growing feud between Jimmy Kimmel and Melania Trump, and Rep. Ilhan Omar clearly needing a history lesson.First, they describe Navarro’s comments as not only tasteless but remarkably ignorant. They explain why her reaction echoed other unconscionable responses from the left in recent years and argue that additional gun control laws would have done nothing to stop the would-be shooter at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.Next, they break down the new Florida congressional map released by Gov. DeSantis. Legal challenges are almost certain. Jim and Greg discuss the endless redistricting wars, why they are not surprised by this move, and how a critical Supreme Court decision on congressional districts expected in the coming weeks plays into all of this.Then they dive into the controversy over Jimmy Kimmel’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner joke that Melania Trump was “glowing like an expectant widow.” Mrs. Trump wants Kimmel fired, while Kimmel insists it was harmless comedy. Jim and Greg weigh in.Finally, they have some fun at the expense of Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar after her reference to World War 11.Please visit our great sponsors:Pocket HoseFor a limited time, get two free gifts—a 360° rotating pocket pivot and a thumb drive nozzle—when you buy the Pocket Hose Ballistic; just text MARTINI to 64000, message and data rates may apply.OneSkinTarget the visible signs of aging with OneSking’s OS-01 Peptide.  For a limited time, try OneSkin with 15% off using code 3ML at https://Oneskin.co/3MLNew episodes every weekday. 👉 Subscribe to the show so you never miss a moment.Follow us for more daily clips, updates, and commentary:FacebookInstagramYoutubeOther InfoWebsite

Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down multiple angles of the attempted shooting of President Trump at the White House Correspondents Dinner on Saturday. They discuss their relief that the incident did not turn out far worse, the left’s bizarre insistence that the would-be shooter was not political despite his manifesto, and Trump’s argument that the threat proves the need for a White House ballroom. Plus, some great news for a good friend of the podcast.First, they breathe a sigh of relief that the attempted shooting of President Trump and other administration officials did not become deadly. Jim explains what the environment is like around White House Correspondents Dinner and the surrounding receptions. They also credit the Secret Service for quickly taking the gunman into custody while examining the serious security concerns exposed by the incident.Next, they focus on the would-be shooter and his manifesto. Jim and Greg are stunned as Barack Obama and others on the left claim the motive was unknown long after the manifesto had already been released.Then they react to President Trump suggesting the White House Correspondents Dinner crisis is the clearest example yet of why a White House ballroom is needed. Democratic Sen. John Fetterman agrees. Jim says the ballroom is a good idea overall but explains why it would not be the proper site for this specific event.Finally, they share a very encouraging health update from columnist and frequent 3 Martini Lunch guest host, Jon Gabriel.Please visit our great sponsors:Pocket HoseFor a limited time, get two free gifts—a 360° rotating pocket pivot and a thumb drive nozzle—when you buy the Pocket Hose Ballistic; just text MARTINI to 64000, message and data rates may apply.OneSkinTarget the visible signs of aging with OneSking’s OS-01 Peptide.  For a limited time, try OneSkin with 15% off using code 3ML at https://Oneskin.co/3MLNew episodes every weekday. 👉 Subscribe to the show so you never miss a moment.Follow us for more daily clips, updates, and commentary:FacebookInstagramYoutubeOther InfoWebsite

Welcome to Last Call, a look at the biggest stories Jim and Greg covered over the past week on the 3 Martini Lunch.This week they examine the Justice Department indicting the far-left Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) on multiple fraud charges, the resignation of Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer, the left's radical - but likely - agenda whenever they retake Congress and the White House, and the resignation of Florida Democratic Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick.First, they focus on the Justice Department’s 11-count fraud indictment against the SPLC. Jim and Greg walk through the formal charges and reveal how the SPLC allegedly spent large sums on “informants” within extremist organizations. They also explain why Democrats and much of the media continue to embrace the SPLC.Next, they're not at all sorry to see President Trump forcing Sec. Chavez-DeRemer to resign. Jim and Greg explain how she was always far too cozy with big labor and a threat to the freelance economy. They also note the serious ethics problems, both personal and professionsl, that were mounting against her.Then, fossilized former Clinton campaign adviser James Carville urges Democrats to aggressively seize power whenever they control the White House and both chambers of Congress again.

Cherfilus-McCormick, who resigned Tuesday and still faces federal corruption charges.Please visit our great sponsors:Pocket HoseFor a limited time, get two free gifts—a 360° rotating pocket pivot and a thumb drive nozzle—when you buy the Pocket Hose Ballistic; just text MARTINI to 64000, message and data rates may apply.Fast Growing TreesBetter plants, better growing, and an extra 20% off with code MARTINI at https://FastGrowingTrees.com/Martini for a limited time; terms and conditions may apply.New episodes every weekday. 👉 Subscribe to the show so you never miss a moment.Follow us for more daily clips, updates, and commentary:FacebookInstagramYoutubeOther InfoWebsite

(00:00:00) U.S. Navy Intercepts Iranian Vessel (00:05:38) A Bailout for Spirit Airlines? (00:10:27) Betting on the future when you know the future Craig Collins remains in for Greg Corombus Friday, and Craig and Jim start by noting the U.S. Navy’s success in capturing Iranian-flagged ships trying to run the blockade on Iran’s ports – while noting that the growing size of the “ghost fleet” in the past decade or so is a scandal.Speaking of ghosts, the Trump administration is attempting to resurrect the bankrupt Spirit Airlines, in a move unpleasantly reminiscent of the federal government’s bailout of General Motors.In the crazy martini, Craig and Jim have mixed feelings about the special operations soldier who was involved in the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro who allegedly made more than $400,000 by betting on Maduro’s removal from office. Is this what they mean when they say to bet on yourself?Finally, a New York Giants fan and a New York Jets fan watch the first round of this year’s NFL Draft and come away… happy!Please visit our great sponsors:QuoMake this the season where no opportunity or customer slips away with Quo.

(00:00:00) Virginia referendum challenged in court (00:04:22) NJ Congressman MIA (00:08:24) The politics of gas prices Craig Collins is in for Greg Corombus, and Craig and Jim start with the good news that a Virginia judge blocked the state from certifying the results of Tuesday's congressional map referendum, deeming the referendum and the bill that triggered it as unconstitutional. (Don’t get too excited, this is just the first step in a multi-step process.)Then Craig and Jim wonder about the long absence and unspecified health issues of New Jersey Republican congressman Tom Kean Jr., and tell the administration that when it comes to gas prices, it’s better to underpromise and overdeliver than the other way around.Finally, the two long-suffering fans of New York’s NFL teams contemplate the Giants' and Jets' prospects in tonight’s NFL draft.Please visit our great sponsors:QuoMake this the season where no opportunity or customer slips away with Quo.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday edition of the 3 Martini Lunch as they react to Virginia voters approving Democrats’ heavily gerrymandered congressional map, the Justice Department indicting the far-left Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) on fraud charges, Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy’s controversial tweet about the Iran war, and the resignation of Florida Democrat Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick from Congress.First, they wince as Virginia voters approve the Virginia Democrats’ aggressively partisan congressional map. The fight now moves to court and will likely be decided soon. Jim says Tuesday’s narrow margin shows just how unreasonable a 10-1 Democratic advantage would be for Virginia in the U.S. House of Representatives.Next, they focus on the Justice Department’s 11-count fraud indictment against the SPLC. Jim and Greg walk through the formal charges and reveal how the SPLC allegedly spent large sums on “informants” within extremist organizations. They also explain why Democrats and much of the media continue to embrace the SPLC.Then they roll their eyes as Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy draws criticism for calling reports that 26 Iranian vessels got through the U.S. blockade in the Strait of Hormuz “awesome.”Finally, they wave goodbye to Rep. Cherfilus-McCormick, who resigned Tuesday and still faces federal corruption charges.Please visit our great sponsors:QuoMake this the season where no opportunity or customer slips away with Quo.

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down the resignation of Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer, signs of momentum among House Democrats towards expelling Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, and the sudden surge of former Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra in the California governor’s race.First, they're not at all sorry to see President Trump forcing Sec. Chavez-DeRemer to resign. Jim and Greg explain how she was always far too cozy with big labor and a threat to the freelance economy. They also note the serious ethics problems, both personal and professionsl, that were mounting against her.Next, House Democrats now seemed more inclined to expel Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick or at least pressure her to resign over allegations that she stole millions in COVID-era FEMA funds for personal and political benefit. But Democrats were adamantly opposed to punishing her just a few weeks ago. What changed?Then they are startled to see Sec. Becerra leap to the front of the pack in the California governor’s race, especially since he was barely an afterthought for most of the campaign until Eric Swalwell was forced to withdraw.Finally, they take a quick look at the Los Angeles mayoral race, where Karen Bass appears on track for re-election. But as leading challenger and former reality television star Spencer Pratt alleges the Chinese are aggressively buying up lots after the Palisades and other fires, Jim and Greg wonder whether Pratt’s celebrity will help or hurt his campaign.Please visit our great sponsors:QuoMake this the season where no opportunity or customer slips away with Quo.

Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down historically low violent crime rates in Washington, D.C., new evidence on the brain damage linked to regular marijuana use, the left's radical - but likely - agenda whenever they retake Congress and the White House, and Zohran Mamdani's curse on the New York Mets.First, they welcome statistics showing Washington, D.C, on track for the lowest number of murders since 1930 plus a major drop in carjackings. Hopefully, the trend continues. If it does, there are specific, common sense policy changes that are obviously making a big difference.Next, as pot smokers celebrate 4/20, Jim and Greg examine both recent and longstanding research suggesting regular weed use can damage the brain and lead to other health problems. Jim and Greg discuss how neither party is interested in pushing back against pro-weed policy anymore, even as evidence like this grows. Plus, Jim offers some classic commentary on having to smell weed all the time in America's cities. Then, fossilized former Clinton campaign adviser James Carville urges Democrats to aggressively seize power whenever they control the White House and both chambers of Congress again. You'll hear what specific ideas Carville and the Democrats are pushing, along with his advice that candidates avoid talking openly about those plans until after Election Day.Finally, they have some fun with the news that the New York Mets are 0-11 since their mascots, Mr. and Mrs. Met, hugged New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani. But Jim knows that Mamdani, like most Marxists, has a plan to salvage the season.Please visit our great sponsors:QuoMake this the season where no opportunity or customer slips away with Quo.
