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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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