More Biden Revelations, Social Security for Illegals? Trump Targets Drug Costs, RFK’s Curious Swim

by

Listen to “More Biden Revelations, Social Security for Illegals? Trump Targets Drug Costs, RFK’s Curious Swim” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg for 3 Martini Lunch as they consider the latest revelations in the Biden coverup, the Department of Homeland Security investigating whether officials in California funneled Social Security benefits to illegals, President Trump’s executive order demanding huge drops in prescription drug prices, and Health and Human Services Sec. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.’s controversial weekend swim.

First, they offer a quick reaction to the revelation that Joe Biden’s inner circle was hiding his cognitive decline – even from his own staff. They also rebuff Kamala Harris campaign strategist David Plouffe, who largely blames Biden for Kamala’s loss.

Then it’s on to the martinis, beginning with a new Department of Homeland Security investigation into whether Los Angeles County officials provided federal benefits, including Social Security, to people in the country illegally through California’s Cash Assistance Program for Immigrants. Jim also questions why California maintains a program that gives taxpayer money to non-citizens, including illegal immigrants.

Next, they assess President Trump’s new executive order directing drug companies to slash prescription prices by 50–80 percent for U.S. consumers. While they agree Americans pay far more than people in other countries, they warn that government-mandated price ceilings could lead to drug shortages. Jim and Greg then consider some more market-friendly ways to bring these costs down.Finally, they scratch their heads at the news that Health and Human Services Sec. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. went swimming with his grandkids in Washington’s Rock Creek this past weekend, since authorities have long warned that the creek’s bacteria levels make it unsafe for people or pets to enter the water.

Warren Caught in Biden Lies, Leftist DA Won’t Charge Tesla Vandal, Schwab’s WEF Scandal

by

Listen to “Warren Caught in Biden Lies, Leftist DA Won’t Charge Tesla Vandal, Schwab’s WEF Scandal” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg for Tuesday’s 3 Martini Lunch as they have a great time breaking down a series of jaw-dropping stories. They dig into Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s awkward admission about Biden’s mental decline, a far-left Minnesota prosecutor refusing to charge a leftist state employee who seriously vandalized numerous Teslas, and explosive allegations that Klaus Schwab grossly misused World Economic Forum resources. Plus, they uncover a Die Hard connection to another of the day’s biggest stories.

First, they thoroughly enjoy watching a progressive podcast host grill Sen. Warren over her insistence that she didn’t notice signs of President Biden’s cognitive struggles before last year’s debate. Warren ultimately tried to deflect, but Jim and Greg explain why this backpedaling will haunt Democrats and the media for a long time.

Next, they’re stunned by prosecutor Mary Moriarty’s refusal to press charges against Dylan Adams, a Minnesota state employee accused of deliberately vandalizing six Teslas—causing $20,000 in damage. Adams will face no jail time and even gets to keep his government job.  Jim notes the frustration of local police and the damage done when intentionally criminal behavior is swept under the rug due to politics.

Then, they dive into the allegations against outgoing World Economic Forum leader Klaus Schwab and his wife, who are accused of stealing substantial funds from the WEF and taking over a luxury property owned by the organization during COVID lockdowns.

Judge OK with Deporting Kahlil, Arsonist Targets Gov. Shapiro, Left Still Gushing Over Luigi

by

Listen to “Judge OK with Deporting Kahlil, Arsonist Targets Gov. Shapiro, Left Still Gushing Over Luigi” on Spreaker.

Former Chief Assistant U.S. Attorney and National Review Contributing Editor Andy McCarthy is in for Jim on today’s 3 Martini Lunch. Join Andy and Greg as they dig into the latest developments surrounding a Columbia University grad student facing deportation, a chilling arson attack at the Pennsylvania governor’s residence, and former Washington Post columnist Taylor Lorenz’s disturbing praise of an alleged murderer.

First, they discuss an immigration judge in Louisiana agreeing that Columbia University graduate student and anti-Semitic campus agitator Mahmoud Khalil can be deported. Andy explains how U.S. law is clear that aliens and citizens are treated differently under the law in this situation and that aliens can be deported if they are threatening national security. Andy also tees off on political lefties who argue the law in question is seldomly used.

Next, they react to the shocking case of an arsonist breaking into the Pennsylvania governor’s residence on the first night of Passover. The intruder reportedly set the home on fire while Gov. Josh Shapiro and his family were inside. Greg and Andy express hope for swift justice and transparency, while Andy suggests we already offer some strong clues about the motivation for this attack.

Finally, they assess Taylor Lorenz gushing over alleged murderer Luigi Mangione to a CNN reporter. From Lorenz calling Mangione a morally good person to CNN’s reporter giggling along with her explanation of why some women are enamored with Mangione, Andy explains why this spectacle is a bad sign for our society and highlights how some elements on the left are far too comfortable with political violence.

Zeldin Slashes EPA Waste, Left Still Idolizing Luigi Mangione, Trump Teases Third Term

by

Listen to “Zeldin Slashes EPA Waste, Left Still Idolizing Luigi Mangione, Trump Teases Third Term” on Spreaker.

Ricochet Co-Founder Rob Long joins Greg for another round of the 3 Martini Lunch! Today, they break down EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin’s aggressive cuts to government waste, a California lawyer’s disturbing tribute to an alleged murderer, and the media’s latest meltdown over Trump teasing a third term.

First, they cheer Zeldin for shutting down the EPA’s costly and little-visited museum focused on environmental justice and climate change—saving taxpayers millions. With more wasteful spending and burdensome regulations under review, Zeldin is emerging as a major force at the agency and Rob suspects Zeldin will have an even brighter political future.

Next, they recoil at a Los Angeles attorney naming his proposed health care ballot measure after accused murderer Luigi Mangione. The Luigi Mangione Access to Health Care Act as a possible state referendum requiring health insurance companies to approve any procedure doctors says is critical to survival or quality of life. But its namesake is charged with the brazen killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson last year in New York City. Rob and Greg discuss the left’s unsettling admiration for this suspect.

Finally, they analyze President Trump’s recent comments about running for a third term. While the Constitution bars such a move, the real story is how effortlessly Trump can provoke the left and the media into another frenzy.

Trump’s Marching Orders to Congress, Trump’s IVF Order, Why Young Men Moved Towards Trump

by

Listen to “Trump’s Marching Orders to Congress, Trump’s IVF Order, Why Young Men Moved Towards Trump” on Spreaker.

Inez Stepman of the Independent Women’s Forum fills in for Jim on this episode of the 3 Martini Lunch podcast. Join Inez and Greg as they discuss Trump’s legislative priorities, his controversial executive order on in vitro fertilization (IVF), and the role COVID played in shifting young men towards Trump in the 2024 elections.

First, Inez and Greg break down Trump’s call for a single reconciliation bill to tackle border policy, energy, defense, and tax cuts. Trump is aligning with the House strategy, while the Senate currently plans to divide the issues into two separate bills. Inez explains how this demonstrates what Trump learned from his  legislative approach eight years ago and why he’s likely to get what he wants in the end.

Next, they discuss Trump’s executive order aimed at making in vitro fertilization more accessible and more affordable. They both agree taxpayers shouldn’t be footing the bill for IVF treatments. Greg says while IVF provides hope to married couples struggling with infertility, it also results in the destruction of human life in many cases. Inez opposes the executive order, warning it could accelerate the troubling rise of “designer babies” and genetic engineering. They also stress that the government should focus on making it easier and more affordable for families looking to adopt children already born.

Finally, they explore polling and analysis from The Atlantic that suggests COVID lockdowns and the erosion of trust in experts have contributed to a significant shift in young men’s political allegiance towards Donald Trump. Inez points out that the COVID era coincided with the peak of the woke movement, and many young men grew frustrated with being blamed for society’s problems.

Manchin & Sinema Sink Key Nomination, Russia Mocks Melania, Warren’s Wearisome Radicalism

by

Listen to “Manchin & Sinema Sink Key Nomination, Russia Mocks Melania, Warren’s Wearisome Radicalism” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they discuss defiant Senate votes from Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema, the Russian media’s scandalous response to Trump’s victory, and Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s controversial reaction to the murder of UnitedHealth CEO Brian Thompson.

First, they thoroughly enjoy watching Manchin and Sinema derail a key Biden nominee to the National Labor Relations Board, as the Democrats attempted to block the GOP from having a majority on that panel for another two years. Did the Democrats really expect them to rubber stamp the Biden-Schumer agenda after being demonized by the left for refusing to kill the filibuster?

Next, Jim and Greg react to Russian state-run television’s inappropriate coverage of Donald Trump’s victory, airing racy modeling photos of Melania Trump from 25 years ago. They analyze why the Russians adopted an antagonistic stance towards Trump and question what response they hope to provoke from him.

Finally, Jim and Greg criticize Senator Elizabeth Warren’s cold reaction to the murder of UnitedHealth CEO Brian Thompson, followed by her intense rant against health insurance companies. Jim explains how Warren’s behavior and political approach contributed to the Democrats’ losses in the November elections.

Judge Blasts Biden Pardon, Hegseth Under Fire, Cuomo Eyeing NYC Mayor’s Race?

by

Listen to “Judge Blasts Biden Pardon, Hegseth Under Fire, Cuomo Eyeing NYC Mayor’s Race?” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg on 3 Martini Lunch as they tackle what Jim calls “the naughty list.” Today’s episode covers a federal judge’s critique of Biden’s Hunter pardon, controversies surrounding Trump’s Pentagon pick, and Andrew Cuomo’s rumored political comeback in New York City.

They begin by spotlighting Federal Judge Mark Scarsi’s scathing assessment of President Biden’s justification for pardoning Hunter Biden. Scarsi accuses Biden of misrepresenting key facts, undermining his own appointees by alleging political persecution, and potentially issuing an unconstitutional pardon.

Next, they dive into new allegations against Pete Hegseth, Trump’s pick for Secretary of Defense, involving claims of misconduct during his time at Fox News and his leadership at Concerned Veterans for America. Hegseth’s defenders point out that all of the new allegations are based on anonymous sources and his former colleagues are eagerly going on the record to defend him. The Wall Street Journal also reports that the Trump team may be preparing to move on to a new nominee and is even floating some possible alternatives.

Lastly, Jim previews his Washington Post column aimed at derailing Andrew Cuomo’s rumored run for New York City mayor. They detail Cuomo’s extensive history of scandals, arguing why he should never return to public office.

Trump’s Controversial Cabinet Picks, GOP’s Tight House Majority, State Dept.’s ‘Cry Sessions’

by

Listen to “Trump’s Controversial Cabinet Picks, GOP’s Tight House Majority, State Dept.’s ‘Cry Sessions'” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg on 3 Martini Lunch as they break down two bad martinis and a crazy one to kick off the week. They dig into two controversial Trump cabinet picks, a razor-thin GOP House majority, and the State Department’s taxpayer-funded therapy sessions after Trump’s win.

First, they assess Trump’s latest cabinet picks, praising Russ Vought for Office of Management and Budget and Dr. Marty Makary for the Food and Drug Administration, while expressing major concerns about Lori Chavez-DeRemer as Secretary of Labor due to her anti-Right to Work stance and Scott Bessent for Treasury, given his ties to George Soros.

Next, they analyze the very narrow House Republican majority in the coming Congress, with three races still unresolved and three looming GOP vacancies. They explain why this slim margin leaves little room for defections or other unexpected setbacks over the next two years.

Finally, they react to reports of the State Department hosting therapy sessions, including a “cry session,” for employees struggling to cope with Trump’s victory—on the taxpayers’ dime. Jim calls for lefties to gain a little perspective on dealing with election results, while Greg suggests clearing out partisan bureaucrats in supposedly neutral roles.

House Dems Blame Game, Pennsylvania Dems Defy Court, Trumps Picks RFK Jr. for HHS

by

Listen to “House Dems’ Blame Game, Pennsylvania Dems Defy Court, Trumps Picks RFK Jr. for HHS” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg on 3 Martini Lunch as they unpack some House Democrats blaming their leader for GOP election wins, local Pennsylvania Democrats disregarding court orders to aid Sen. Bob Casey, and Donald Trump choosing Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. to run the Department of Health and Human Services.

First, Jim and Greg enjoy the fireworks as some House progressives accuse Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries of causing Republican victories by failing to convince President Biden to step aside sooner. The lefties further lament that former Speaker Nancy Pelosi had to push Biden out of the race. Jim and Greg dissect why this narrative is far-fetched but relish watching Democrats openly battle over election blame.

Next, they express disbelief as local Democrats in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, flagrantly defy a state Supreme Court order prohibiting the counting of certain invalid ballots. One commissioner even declared on camera that legal precedent no longer matters. Jim and Greg expose the hypocrisy of Democrats claiming to be defenders of democracy while blatantly ignoring the rule of law.

Finally, they analyze President-Elect Trump’s decision to nominate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services. While Kennedy could champion important reforms, they raise concerns over his pro-abortion stance, his potential priorities, and even more political capital being spent over a cabinet fight.

RFK vs. Democrats, Cotton vs. Kamala & Her Media Allies, Trump’s Vow vs. His Pro-Life Legacy

by

Listen to “RFK vs. Democrats, Cotton vs. Kamala & Her Media Allies, Trump’s Vow vs. His Pro-Life Legacy” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they serve up two good martinis and a definite bad one as they note RFK Jr.’s strong case for how Democrats trampled all over democracy in this election cycle, Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton refusing to let ABC News promote a false pro-Kamala narrative, and Donald Trump trying to cozy up to the pro-abortion crowd.

First, they discuss Robert F. Kennedy Jr. dropping off the ballot in ten competitive states and endorsing Donald Trump. And while there is plenty to be skeptical about with respect to Kennedy, he delivered a strong indictment of the Democrats for squashing any attempt to challenge Joe Biden for the party nomination and keeping Kennedy and other candidates off the ballot for the general election.

Next, they applaud Sen. Cotton for his masterful rejection of Harris talking points coming from Jonathan Karl of ABC News. As Cotton pointed out radical Harris positions from the 2020 campaign, like abolishing private health insurance, Karl interjected to say Harris no longer holds that position. Cotton refused to let Karl (or Harris) get away with that.

Finally, they fume as Trump vows on social media that “my administration will be great for women and their reproductive rights.” After scoring the biggest pro-life win in half a century, Trump is focusing on trying to coax some pro-abortion voters to his side while just assuming pro-life voters won’t care and will show up for him as strongly as ever.
