Join Jim and Greg as they discuss a Haaretz story quoting a Hamas official arguing that it's time for the terrorist organization to follow the PLO's lead and recognize Israel. Have two months of intense military operations caused some Hamas figures to seriously reconsider their radicalism or is this simply a tactic designed to attract some more international sympathy?They follow that up with a new poll that shreds the ongoing narrative that there is a wide gulf between Hamas and what the Palestinian people want. The survey shows 72 percent of Palestinians support the Hamas atrocities on October 7, even when considering what has happened since.Finally, a bit closer to home, they react to a CBS poll showing that no matter how clever lawmakers think they are in naming legislation, many Americans still have no idea the bills exist.Please visit out great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.com/martiniCatch the deal of the day before it is gone!

Today, Greg and Jim dissect the positive trend of Republican voters registering in encouraging numbers in several key battleground states, the concerning impingement of Russia on the Estonian border, and a reality at the border that's so alarming that even illegal immigrants are concerned about it. Plus, some fun with outgoing New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu's unvarnished opinions of other governors. First, they analyze the data showing that Republicans are registering voters in higher numbers in battleground states. They consider what the causes of this trend might be, pointing out how anti-establishment young voters might be rebelling against the left, which they see as the establishment.Next, they raise their eyebrows at the news that Russia has moved buoys along the Narva River that distinguish its territory from Estonia. They wonder why the US has so far refrained from commenting on the situation, though Estonia and NATO seem to be on high alert at this encroachment.Then they highlight the testimony of an illegal immigrant from Turkey, who expresses shock at the lack of security at the U.S. Border.Finally, they wrap up the episode with a good laugh courtesy of Gov. Sununu, who does not mince words about the two governors that no one likes.Please visit our great sponsors:Moinkhttps://moinkbox.com/martiniVisit today to get one year of the best Bacon you’ll ever taste free. Lumenhttps://lumen.meTake the next step in improving your health.  Use code 3ML at checkout for $100 off.ZBioticshttps://zbiotics.com/3MLVisit today and save 15% at checkout with code 3ML.

GOP's Big Voter Gains, Is Russian Encroaching on Estonia? Illegals Stunned By Lax Border

In this episode of the Three Martini Lunch, Greg and Jim have trouble separating the good, the bad, and the crazy from each martini as more details come out about John Kerry blocking the FBI from arresting terrorists, the NIH evading FOIA requests during the pandemic, and Hunter Biden lying under oath three separate times.First, they slam former Secretary of State John Kerry for running interference for Iranian terrorists, as FBI whistleblowers have brought to light. They also note the positive aspects of having a Republican House which can investigate such shady dealings in the State Department.Next, they are exasperated with the testimony of former NIH official Dr. David Morens, as he plays dumb about what it means to delete federal records and insists that his references to communicating with Dr. Anthony Fauci through "back channels" were intended as jokes. They observe that you know the situation is dire when even Democratic Rep. Kweisi Mfume takes Morens to task for his behavior during the testimony.Finally, they find themselves not so shocked to learn that Hunter Biden has lied under oath three separate times about matters such as his communications with a Chinese Communist Party official and his involvement with procuring visas for foreign nationals. They wonder whether Hunter will face jail time for his refusal to cooperate with the subpoena, the way that former Trump advisor Peter Navarro did.Please visit our great sponsors:Lumenhttps://lumen.meTake the next step in improving your health.

Leftist Lies Exposed:  Kerry Protected Terrorists, NIH Cover-Up, More Hunter Lies Revealed

Greg and Jim dive into the latest conservative victories in the justice system, the Michigan GOP's latest trouble with accusations of  fraudulent signatures, and the rise of college students' mulish insistence on not completing assigned reading.First, they kick off the episode with a double fisted martini: woke Portland DA Mike Schmidt looks like he will be ousted from office for his soft-on-crime policies. Additionally, Georgia Supreme Court Justice Andrew Pinson successfully fended off the challenge of former Rep. John Barrow, who campaigned primarily on a pro-abortion platform.Next, they sigh and shake their heads at the Michigan GOP, which never seems to learn its lesson, as candidates are coming under fire for allegedly committing ballot signature fraud once again. They examine the poor condition that much of state-level GOP management has fallen into, in Michigan and beyond, and why gathering petition signatures is one of the most basic parts of politics.Finally, they find themselves bewildered by the latest trend among college students, who are constantly demanding that professors lower coursework expectations and workload. They point out the paradox that, while Ivy League schools are getting more and more selective, college students across the board are learning less and show poorer work ethic than past generations.Please visit our great sponsors:ZBioticshttps://zbiotics.com/3MLVisit today and save 15% at checkout with code 3ML.  Lumenhttps://lumen.meTake the next step in improving your health.

Woke Portland DA Dumped, Michigan GOP's Petition Mishaps, College Students Resist Reading

Greg and Jim have a lot to discuss as they unpack the stellar work that Trump's defense attorneys did as they cross-examined former Trump loyalist Michael Cohen, the disastrous looting of U.S. aid being sent to the Gaza strip, and the latest cringeworthy Biden gaffe.First, they praise Donald Trump's lawyers for being on their A-game while handling Michael Cohen's cross-examination and examining the final witnesses. They observe that the prosecution's case has been badly damaged at this point, but that we still cannot be certain of what the final verdict will be.Next, they criticize the U.N's poor handling of the transportation of relief supplies in Gaza, as looters are scrambling for the aid that the U.S. has sent over. They contemplate whether these looters might have an association with Hamas, and note that the officials who are transporting the aid must provide armed security if they hope to secure their supplies.Finally, they roll their eyes as Biden puts his senility into full view once again, introducing an American hostage...who is still being held by Hamas. They speculate on whether the Democratic Party might swap Biden for another candidate before this year's election, depending on whether he can pull it together for the upcoming debate with Trump.Please visit our great sponsors:Omaha Steakshttps://omahasteaks.comUse promo code MARTINI for additional savings when you shop Gourmet Gift Packages for Father’s Day.  Lumenhttps://lumen.meTake the next step in improving your health.

Trump's Lawyers Crush Cohen, Gaza Relief Gets Stolen, Biden's Hostage Blunder

Greg is back on a busy news day, as he and Jim discuss the death of Iran's president, Biden's disgustingly divisive commencement speech, and the GOP latching on to a loser in the Arizona U.S Senate race.First, they shed zero tears upon the death of radical Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and three other officials in a helicopter crash on Sunday. They document Raisi's murderous record and why his death is not worth mourning, but they also note that not much will change anytime soon for the Iranian people eager to be free.Next, they hammer President Biden for his racially divisive demagoguery in his commencement address at Morehouse College in Georgia. They not only dissect the appalling lies in the speech but also what it tells us about how Biden and his advisers see the state of the 2024 campaign.Finally, they groan as a new poll shows Democrat Ruben Gallego leading Republican Kari Lake by a wide margin in the Arizona Senate race. They see Lake as a surefire loser with way too much political baggage and urge GOP voters there to pick a nominee who would be far better at the job and would actually have a chance at winning in November.Please visit our great sponsors:Lumenhttps://lumen.meTake the next step in improving your health.
