3 Martini Lunch – Political Humor & Commentary

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss new data showing red states doing far better than blue states in job creation, Hillary Clinton wanting to pack the Supreme Court with one revealing condition, Democrats' disgusting meddling in two Senate races, and the stupidity of overseas NFL games.

First, they're glad to see new numbers from the Bureau of Labor Statistics showing red states with the best job growth compared to just before the Covid lockdowns. Most of the worst-performing states are blue states. Jim and Greg explain why this is consistently the case.

Next, they respond to Hillary Clinton urging the creation of four more seats on the U.S. Supreme Court. But does she want to do it now? No, she doesn't. Jim and Greg expose the left's unhealthy demonization of the court and its relentless quest for power.

Then, they look at the Alaska Senate race, where lots of left-wing money is being spent to promote little-known Dan Sullivan because he is running against GOP Sen. Dan Sullivan. But that's not who the Dems actually want to win. And in Montana, Dems are livid that their own nominee won't drop out to improve the odds of the "independent" candidate they really prefer.

Finally, they fume over the NFL games played in Europe in the wake of a major medical controversy and a game being played this weekend amid the unrest in Paris.

Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch as they dissect Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar's answer to whether she married her brother, Michigan GOP Senate candidate Mike Rogers exposing Democrat Abdul El-Sayed as a serial liar, Belgium taking forever to fix F-16's used by Ukraine, and the feds indicting one of the most powerful Democrats in Virginia.

First, they react to Rep. Omar being asked by MSNOW whether she married her brother and Omar answering "not to my knowledge." That's a major shift from her previous responses and comes as Omar is the subject of an intensifying immigration fraud investigation.

Next, Mike Rogers exposes the litany of lies Abdul El-Sayed has told about his personal past, his ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, never actually being licensed as a physician, and more. Jim wonders if Rogers has too many good avenues to attack El-Sayed.

Then, they scratch their heads as a Belgian firm is taking up to 40 weeks to do maintenance on the F-16's we gave Ukraine, when U.S. personnel usually do it in less than a month.

Finally, Virginia State Senate President L. Louise Lucas is indicted on a series of serious federal charges.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they dig into Maryland Gov. Wes Moore's bizarre deal with owners and operators of the the ship that knocked a bridge in Baltimore, Vivek Ramaswamy's very controversial ad featuring his opponent's mother, Russia freeing a U.S. hostage but the U.S. response is way too kind, and another fake polling firm getting exposed.

First, they scratch their heads over Jim's reporting that Maryland Gov. Wes Moore signed a contract that seems suspiciously generous towards the owners and operators of the ship that caused the Francis Scott Key Bridge to collapse in Baltimore.

Next, they wince over Ohio GOP gubernatorial nominee Vivek Ramaswamy's ad featuring the estranged mom of Democratic nominee Amy Acton, especially since Acton formally accused her stepfather of repeated sexual abuse when she was 12 and her mother sided with the stepfather. Jim and Greg discuss why this ad was a bad idea on multiple levels and why other Ohio Republicans may end up paying for it.

Then, they welcome Russia's release of American hostage Stephen Hubbard after four years in captivity. But they wince as U.S. Envoy Steve Witkoff thanks Russian President Vladimir Putin by calling him a "humanitarian."

Finally, a second polling firm has now admitted that it fabricated results and was just trying to see how easy it was for media outlets and others to accept their results with little to no scrutiny.

Join Greg and former Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch, as they dissect Michigan Sen. Elissa Slotkin's comments about deterring future Trump administration staffers, Virginia's truly radical constitutional amendment proposals, midterm election integrity concerns, and why the 2025 election results in Virginia should be a warning to the rest of the U.S. heading into the midterms.

First, they discuss Sen. Slotkin's comments urging Democrats to pursue "signature" investigations and prosecutions of President Trump and others around him in order to deter young people from serving in his administration. Cuccinelli explains why this is so disturbing and why he isn't buying Slotkin's attempts to clarify her statement.

Next, they examine Virginia's three far left proposed constitutional amendments which are focused on abortion, marriage, and voting rights for felons. Cuccinelli reveals how the abortion amendment is really a sex amendment and would set the stage for legalizing statutory rape.

Then, they shake their heads over election integrity concerns, including a D.C-based radio host getting an absentee ballot from California despite moving out of state 15 years ago, another media figure getting four ballots in the mail for four different people, and much more.

Finally, Greg and Ken explain how the campaign from Democrats this year sound a lot like the one made by Democrats in Virginia last year. And the results in the Old Dominion are nothing close to what was promised.

Ken Cuccinelli was the 46th Virginia Attorney General. He also served as a state senator and is now chairman of the Election Transparency Initiative.

Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they consider Barack Obama having the gall of accusing others of targeting Americans for their political beliefs and speech, the radical left in France continuing to burn down the nation's history and culture, Abdul El-Sayed's absurd explanation for why his family calls him "Abdul," and a special anniversary for our podcast.

First, they shake their heads as former President Obama vigorously defends Rep. Ilhan Omar and denounces the Trump administration for an allegedly political raid and investigation. Obama also pretends to be a fierce guardian of not targeting people for their political beliefs or speech, but his record tells a very different story.

Next, they fume over the left continuing to riot and destroy in France. Somehow "protests" over education are leading to widespread arson and other destruction, including the torching of the historic town hall in Limoges. Jim and Greg explain why this chaos has nothing to do with the stated issues and how weak the French government looks in response.

Then, they roll their eyes as Michigan U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed was found claiming back in 2018 that his family started calling him by a shorter first name because Paula Abdul became famous.

Finally, Jim and Greg celebrate 16 years and counting of the 3 Martini Lunch.

Join Jim and Greg for this special edition of Last Call, as they remember the greatness of the 1980's. Weeks ago, while promoting a movie, actor Ryan Reynolds called the '80's "brutal" and a "mess" with "division everywhere." That's not how Jim and Greg remember it, so they recall the politics of the 1980's, what they miss from that era, and what they definitely don't miss.

First, they focus on the politics of the decade, which means the Reagan presidency. They examine Reagan's electoral triumphs, his good nature, and his greatness in winning the Cold War. They also discuss Reagan's skills as the "Great Communicator" and how the media was different in its approach to news then.

Next, they dive into the things they miss about the 1980's, especially the far superior pop culture offerings in film, television, and music. They also savor the freedom they had as kids then and note a critical aspect of childhood in the '80's that can only be appreciated now.

Then, they go through the things they don't miss from that decade - much of it either related to less advanced technology or society just being a lot different then. They also examine aspects of the news media they definitely don't want to come back.

Finally, Jim and Greg spent a few minutes on the pinnacle of cinematic excellence from the 1980's.

Craig Coglianese’s week of guest hosting for Greg Corombos comes to an end with an intriguing report that Supreme Court justice Samuel Alito may be retiring soon, before the Democrats can assume the majority in the U.S. Senate. Craig and Jim Geraghty also note that Vice President JD Vance is getting awkward questions about former ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle, and scratch their heads at the new White House press secretary’s husband previously doing work in North Korea. Craig concludes by revealing he now hears James Talarico and Ken Paxton attack ads in his dreams.

Craig Coglianese’s week of guest hosting for Greg Corombos continues, and Craig and Jim Geraghty are relieved to hear the execution of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan will not be livestreamed. Meanwhile, on the campaign trail, Republicans start pulling their money and ad reservations from some key U.S House races, an ominous sign for the GOP in those districts. Elsewhere, they raise their eyebrows at the work of new White House press secretary Katie Zacharia for a law firm in Beijing with close ties to the Chinese Communist Party and the Chinese Justice Ministry. Finally, they close by asking how early is too early for early voting.

Craig Coglianese is in for Greg Corombos, and Craig and Jim Geraghty are surprised to hear Georgia Democratic senator Jon Ossoff say he has no intention of running for president in 2028. A report from the AP suggests that former vice president Kamala Harris is gearing up for a third bid, but her husband may not be such an enthusiastic supporter of the idea. Meanwhile, the news on inflation and the GOP chances of holding the U.S. House is downright bad. Finally, Shane Gillis has done the impossible: he’s got people talking about Saturday Night Live again.
