Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss how the poor personal and professional decisions of Nvidia's Jensen Huang may have compromised U.S. national security, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro pushing a proven policy failure to improve the cost of living, Texas Democrats wanting to pursue high-speed rail, and Sec. Pete Hegseth's party getting reprimanded by a guard at Arlington National Cemetery. First, they discuss the ouster of Jensen Huang as President & CEO of Nvidia. In addition to his reckless and stupid extra-marital affair with a suspect spy from the Chinese Communist Party, they they consider the national security impact from Huang's actions. Next, they shake their heads as Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro declares that he will pursue a significant hike in the state minimum wage once Democrats control both chambers of the legislature next year. Jim explains yet again why raising the minimum wage cannot make the cost of living easier and will almost certainly make things more expensive. Then, they track another tired, lefty fever dream as Democrats in Texas pursue high-speed rail from Dallas to San Antonio. Jim and Greg look at the complete boondoogle high-speed rail turned out to be in California and why it's almost certainly a terrible idea in Texas as well. Finally, they react to a guard at the Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington National Cemetery scolding Sec. Pete Hegseth and his group for getting too loud while taking photos on Veterans Day.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they dig into New Jersey Dem Congressman-Elect Adam Hamawy refusing to call Iran an adversary, Joe Biden claiming his 2024 debate disaster was "not consequential," some Maine voters already feeling buyers remorse over defeating Susan Collins, and D.C. Metro's ridiculous plan to raise revenue. First, they shudder as Hamawy insists the U.S. is just as much to blame for the problems with Iran despite Iran waging war against us for 47 years. Jim unloads on Hamawy's pathetic talking points. Next, they get a kick out Joe Biden claiming that his debate performance against President Trump two years ago was "not consequential." Jim and Greg look back at 2024 and how its impossible to see the debate as anything other than a political nightmare for Biden. Then, they shake their heads as some people up in Maine are starting to realize the state won't be bringing in nearly as much federal money since they just fired the the chairwoman of the Senate Appropriations Committee. Finally, they groan as the Washington-area public transportation system comes up withe the worst possible plan to raise more money because people just aren't paying fares on buses and trains.

Join Greg and guest host Charlie Cooke for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they focus on Cooke's recent debate comments on immigrants bent on denigrating and drastically changing our nation, Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie lodging impeachment charges against Sec. Pete Hegseth, Sen. Mitch McConnell awkwardly refusing to respond to reporters's questions, and the absurdity of multiple Senate and House races that still haven't been called. First, they discuss Charlie's recent debate on immigration and his argument that it should be a no-brainer to deny entry to anyone who hates America or wants to radically change us. And he says any non-citizens already here who act that way should be kicked out.  Next, they look at the eight impeachment articles lodged by Massie against Hegseth. They scratch their heads as most of them are related to actions ordered by President Trump. Charlie also offers other reasons why Massie's effort here are off the mark. Then, they watch painful footage of Sen. McConnell unwilling or unable to answer reporters' questions on Capitol Hill. Charlie and Greg wonder why he's still there since a Republican successor was just elected. They also offer their insights on McConnell's legacy in the Senate. Finally, they find it it thoroughly unacceptable that Mississippi and Alaska have no final U.S. Senate results yet and have made painfully little progress in counting votes over the past week.

Join Greg and guest host Chris Scalia for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they consider Pres. Trump saying he wants to legalize some people who came to the U.S. illegally, the Democrats likely pursuing the completion of their plan to circumvent the Electoral College, Stephen Miller replacing Susie Wiles as Trump's Chief of Staff, and Trump's post that he offered the White House Press Secretary job to Dana White of UFC. First, they react to Trump telling 60 Minutes that he'd like to get an immigration deal with Democrats next year that would include granting legal status to people in the country for 10-15 years or more if they haven't committed a crime since coming here illegally. Is Trump serious? Greg & Chris explain why it shouldn't happen and why it probably won't. Next, they groan as Democrats gained enough power in enough states to complete their quest to make the winner of the popular vote - and not the Electoral College - the victor in presidential elections. Chris and Greg explain why this is a horrible idea and why the scheme is unlikely to survive court challenges. Then, they react to Susie Wiles resigning as White House Chief of Staff and President Trump replacing her with Stephen Miler. Chris explains the strategy behind the move and they briefly address accusations against Wiles by a member of the MAHA movement, and the media's double standard on Wiles. Finally, they consider Trump's social media post that he offered the job of White House Press Secretary to UFC boss Dana White. Trump later said he was joking. Chris and Greg discuss that and who from similar businesses would make for an entertaining press secretary. American Enterprise Institute Senior Fellow Christopher J. Scalia, who is also author of 13 Novels Conservatives Will Love (But Probably Haven't Read), is in for Jim Geraghty today.

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 discuss how the Democrats' huge midterm election victories will shape the next Congress and - yes - the 2028 presidential campaign, Tucker Carlson suggesting the U.S. and Israel will soon nuke Iran, the left building momentum for making the Death Tax much worse, and a dead dog getting his voting rights restored in Virginia. First, Jim and Greg look ahead to what the next two years will look like with President Trump in the White House facing big Democratic majorities in the House and Senate. They also briefly consider how this impacts the start of the 2028 cycle. Next, they roll their eyes as Trump loyalist-turned-hater Tucker Carlson says the U.S. and Israel may be just days away from using nuclear weapons against Iran. Jim explains why there's almost no chance Tucker is right. Then, they react to the United Airlines CEO and college economic professor looking to make the Death Tax much more painful. The CEO also wants to institute a wealth tax. Jim and Greg have a simple suggestion for him. Finally, theygroan as Virginia officials restore the voting rights of a dog that died five years ago. But the story gets even more insane.  Please visit our great sponsors:   Omaha Steaks Your next great holiday dinner is just a click away with Omaha Steaks.  Packages start at just $79 at https://OmahaSteaks.com using code 3ML at checkout.  Terms apply.  See site for details.   Brooklyn Bedding Get the best rest with Brooklyn Bedding.  Use code 3ML at checkout to save 30% sitewide during the Veteran’s Day Sale.  https://BrooklynBedding.com ZocDoc Your health matters.  Find and book the right doctor with Zocdoc.  Head to https://zocdoc.com/3ML to get started.   New episodes every weekday.  👉 Subscribe to the show so you never miss a moment.

A long week comes to an end, and Craig Coglianese and Jim Geraghty conclude that it is probably for the best that incoming Tennessee governor Marsha Blackburn is not considering Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth to be the appointed U.S. senator from her state. Meanwhile, President Trump says that when the stock market crashes, the American people have only themselves to blame, and the White House tells conservative groups that it is watching them. Finally, Tesla Cybertruck, we barely knew ye.

Craig Coglianese is in for Greg Corombos, and Craig and Jim sigh relief that Supreme Court justice Samuel Alito isn't going anywhere, and Senate Republicans won't have to rush through a confirmation hearing in the lame duck session. Vice President JD Vance blames the war against Iran for the GOP wipeout in the midterms, which feels like only half the story. Meanwhile, Mississippi is still counting the votes in a very tight Senate race, and Craig has a new sharp option for home defense.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they dissect the Democrats' sweeping wins in Tuesday's midterm elections, discuss many of the key races, consider what went so wrong for Republicans and how this shapes the next Congress and the 2028 presidential campaign. Finally, they find a couple of bright spots in Tuesday's election results. First, Greg and Jim walk through the dismal results in the Senate, House, and in key governorships - not only in the high-profile races but some that were big surprises. And the winning margins for Democrats were also staggering. Next, they consider why the Democrats likely dominated the midterms. They both point to cost of living concerns and specific policy decisions that were costly. Greg also notes how the Democrats hit the right buzzwords even though they have no real solutions for these concerns. Then, Jim and Greg look ahead to what the next two years will look like with President Trump in the White House facing big Democratic majorities in the House and Senate. They also briefly consider how this impacts the start of the 2028 cycle. Finally, Jim and Greg find a few reasons to smile in Tuesday's election results.

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they react to Hillary Clinton and Kara Swisher's list of wacky midterm election conspiracy theories, major voting malfunctions in a key New York County, Tucker Carlson suggesting the U.S. and Israel will soon nuke Iran, and The View's Ana Navarro's embarrasing campaign comment. First, they sigh as former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and podcast partner Kara Swisher go on The View and lay out a list of insane conspiracy theories about how Republicans may try to steal the midterms. Jim and Greg offer them a refreshing dose of reality - not that it will do them any good. Next, they fume as all ballot scanners go down in Westchester County, New York. Officials are now scrambling to fix machines and to keep the lines moving. Jim and Greg find this utterly inexcusable for election officials who had months to make sure everything was working correctly. Then, they laugh as Trump loyalist-turned-hater Tucker Carlson says the U.S. and Israel may be just days away from using nuclear weapons against Iran. Jim explains why there's almost no chance Tucker is right. Finally, they laugh at the garbled closing argument for the midterms from former Republican and current lefty commentator Ana Navarro.  Please visit our great sponsors:   Omaha Steaks Your next great holiday dinner is just a click away with Omaha Steaks.  Packages start at just $79 at https://OmahaSteaks.com using code 3ML at checkout.  Terms apply.  See site for details.   Brooklyn Bedding Get the best rest with Brooklyn Bedding.  Use code 3ML at checkout to save 30% sitewide during the Veteran’s Day Sale.  https://BrooklynBedding.com ZocDoc Your health matters.  Find and book the right doctor with Zocdoc.  Head to https://zocdoc.com/3ML to get started.   New episodes every weekday.  👉 Subscribe to the show so you never miss a moment.

Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they dig into former Michigan Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Haley Stevens endorsing GOP nominee Mike Rogers over DemocratAbdul El-Sayed, PBS & Politifact telling us it's totally normal not to know who won on Election Night, the left building momentum for making the Death Tax much worse, and a dead dog getting his voting rights restored in Virginia.   First, they dive into how Haley Stevens went from planning to be at a Democratic Party unity rally on Sunday to endorsing Republican Mike Rogers instead. They also react to the volcanic Democratic Party rage aimed at Stevens ever since. Next, they shake their heads as PBS and Politifact try to downplay expectations of concrete election results on Election Night. Jim and Greg explain how, with some exceptions, we should absolutely expect to know who won on Election Night and should not accept anything less. Then, they react to the United Airlines CEO and college economic professor looking to make the Death Tax much more painful. The CEO also wants to institute a wealth tax. Jim and Greg have a simple suggestion for him. Finally, they roll their eyes as Virginia officials restored the voting rights of a dog that died five years ago. But the story gets even more insane. As you vote tomorrow, consider what's happened in Virginia since it went blue last year.

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 discuss Barack Obama downplaying Abdul El-Sayed's radical affiliations as him just wanting everyone to have health care, Jim's latest discoveries in the convoluted immigration story of Rep. Ilhan Omar, evidence Alaska Democrats deliberately sought to sow confusion among voters in this year's U.S. Senate race, and Florida Democratic U.S. Senate nominee Angie Nixon's less than reassuring thoughts on Cuba. First, they dissect former President Obama's disingenuous dismissal of concerns about El-Sayed and saying there's nothing radical about wanting people to get health care. Jim explains how Obama has a long history of trying to distract us from terrorist connections and they both hammer him for making health care far more expensive than before Obamacare. Next, Jim takes us through his research into the debate over Rep. Omar's age, why it matters a lot for her immigration status, and the mystery surrounding her father's immigration to the U.S. Jim also explains what the likely story is about the role of Omar's dad in the Somalian genocide and refugee crisis. Then, Greg and guest host Scot Bertram welcome the New York Times exposing Mary Peltola's U.S. Senate campaign and other Democrats for actively trying to find other candidates named Dan Sullivan to run this year in order to confuse voters and siphon off votes from incumbent GOP Sen. Dan Sullivan. Greg and Scot discuss how this might impact the race and how the report finally forces the media to cover a story Republicans have been complaining about for months. Finally, they shake their heads as Florida U.S. Senate candidate Angie Nixon, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, seems pretty clueless about whether communists run the Cuban government.

Join Greg and guest host Scot Bertram for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they dig into a shocking video of a college students in Texas celebrating the death of Charlie Kirk, Virginia asking voters to restore ex-con voting rights as Dems let violent criminals out of prison at an alarming rate, CBS reporters trying to downplay the Alaska Dem Senate scandal, and slumping Halloween candy sales. First, they recoil at a recently viral video of a college student in Texas celebrating the brual murder of Charlie Kirk at a conservative "Pick Up the Mic" event. The student also said she was surprised the right-leaning speaker didn't have protection for his neck. While this is not every leftist college student, there are way too many who do think this way. Next, they discuss Virginia Democrats trying to pass a constitutional amendment to allow felons the right to vote as soon as they walk out of prison while Gov. Abigail Spanberger's parole board is busy letting violent criminals out of prison at a much higher rate than the previous GOP administration. Then, they roll their eyes at reports that CBS reporters aggressively pushed back on Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss wanting to pursue extensive coverage of the Dems' Alaska Senate scandal.  Finally, they bite into the rising cost of Halloween candy and add some other Halloween observations as well.

Join Greg and Scot Bertram for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss evidence Alaska Democrats deliberately sought to sow confusion among voters in this year's U.S. Senate race, another high-profile Democratic defection away from Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan, Democrats in Philadelphia learning absolutely nothing from the 2008 financial crisis, & the very different values between voters in the two major parties. First, they welcome the New York Times exposing Mary Peltola's U.S. Senate campaign and other Democrats for actively trying to find other candidates named Dan Sullivan to run this year in order to confuse voters and siphon off votes from incumbent GOP Sen. Dan Sullivan. Greg and Scot discuss how this might impact the race and how the report finally forces the media to cover a story Republicans have been complaining about for months. Next, they react to a Democratic megadonor, who is also engaged to former U.S. Senate candidate Rep. Haley Stevens, publicly endorsing Mike Rogers over Abdul El-Sayed. Scot and Greg discuss the factors that will determine who emerges victorious in perhaps the most high-profile Senate campaign of the year. Then, they sigh as Philadelphia Democrats urge people with low incomes and low credit scores to buy homes with mortgages backed by the city. Scot explains why the left's arguments on home ownership simply don't stand up to logic or reality. Finally, Greg and Scot review polling numbers showing a wide disparity in which values matter most to voters in the two major parties. They discuss the huge divide on patriotism, equality, responsibility, and other principles. Hillsdale College Radio General Manager Scot Bertram is in for Jim Geraghty today.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they consider Jim's latest discoveries in the convoluted immigration story of Rep. Ilhan Omar, public GOP sniping in South Carolina and other states, Abdul El-Sayed finding the droning of Al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri "troubling," and Trump & others regularly talking about politicians' backsides. First, Jim takes us through his research into the debate over Rep. Omar's age, why it matters a lot for her immigration status, and the mystery surrounding her father's immigration to the U.S. Jim also explains what the likely story is about the role of Omar's dad in the Somalian genocide and refugee crisis. Next, they wince as Senate polls in South Carolina are very close and GOP Rep. Ralph Norman is publicly fuming about how the party forced Darline Graham on the voters. Jim and Greg agree Graham is a weak candidate, but they also don't love the intraparty sniping just days before the election. Then, they shake their heads as 2022 comments from Abdul El-Sayed call the U.S. killing of Al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri "troubling" and accuse President Biden of "flogging" War on Terror talking points to justify it. Finally, why do President Trump and others keep referencing politicians' backsides in recent rallies? Can you please stay focused?

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they have plenty to say about a blatantly anti-Semitic PAC ad for Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan, former Los Angeles mayoral candidate Rick Caruso inexpicably endorsing Mayor Karen Bass for re-election, new research showing paper straws are worse for the environment than plastic straws, and Florida Democratic U.S. Senate nominee Angie Nixon's less than reassuring thoughts on Cuba. First, they slam a despicable new ad from Cenk Uygur's Rebellion PAC in support of Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan, blaming rising prices on Israel. Jim and Greg point out the obvious, deep flaws in the ad and also note that, as of this recording, neither El-Sayed nor his campaign had denounced the ad. Next, they scratch their heads as 2022 Los Angeles mayoral candidate Rick Caruso endorses Mayor Karen Bass for re-election against socialist Nithya Raman. But after four horrible years of failed leadership under Bass, Jim and Greg wonder why Caruso decided to endorse in this race at all. Then, they thoroughly enjoy the news that Korean researchers have determined that paper straws are worse for the environment than plastic straws. Besides noting the environmentalists are wrong yet again, Jim and Greg discuss the stupidity of paper straws and the decades-long war of paper vs. plastic bags at the grocery store. Finally, they shake their heads as Florida U.S. Senate candidate Angie Nixon, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, seems pretty clueless about whether communists run the Cuban government.
