Israel Targets Iranian Nukes, How Trump is Navigating Israel-Iran, Sen. Padilla’s PR Stunt

by

Listen to “Israel Targets Iranian Nukes, How Trump is Navigating Israel-Iran, Sen. Padilla’s PR Stunt” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg for Friday’s 3 Martini Lunch as they assess Israel’s bold strikes on Iran’s nuclear program and how President Trump and the U.S. are navigating this conflict. They also weigh in on the controversy surrounding California Sen. Alex Padilla being handcuffed after interrupting a Homeland Security press conference in Los Angeles.

First, they lay out what we know about Israel’s attacks against Iranian nuclear sites, air defenses, and top military personnel. Jim points out that every president since George W. Bush has stated Iran cannot be allowed to have a nuclear weapon and the Israelis clearly believe they could not wait any longer. They also marvel at the depths which the Mossad infiltrated Iran to help carry out the attacks.

Next, they examine the U.S. response to the strikes. While initial American statements distanced the U.S. from involvement, President Trump voiced strong support for Israel and warned Iran to return to nuclear negotiations. However, Iran now claims it is abandoning those talks altogether.

Finally, they break down the confrontation between DHS Sec. Kristi Noem and California Sen. Alex Padilla. Sen. Padilla interrupted Noem to shout questions. It was only after Secret Service and FBI began restraining him that Padilla identified himself as a U.S. senator. He was eventually handcuffed but quickly released when his identity was confirmed. Jim and Greg agree that Padilla’s approach shows he wanted to create a spectacle. Jim also marvels that no one – even in LA – seemed to know what Sen. Padilla looks like.

Gov. Newsom’s LA Riot Money Trail, Is Iran Conflict Imminent, Mayor Bass Floundering Again

by

Listen to “Gov. Newsom’s LA Riot Money Trail, Is Iran Conflict Imminent, Mayor Bass Floundering Again” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg for Thursday’s 3 Martini Lunch as they break down the money trail that might explain Gov. Newsom’s reluctance to confront the LA rioters, whether the evacuation of some U.S. personnel and their families means we’re on the brink of major conflict in the Middle East, and the staggering incompetence of Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass.

First, they dig into reports suggesting California Gov. Gavin Newsom was uninterested in maintaining order during the recent LA riots because the group sponsoring the protest, the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights, contributed nearly half a million dollars and a lot of manpower to help him survive the 2021 recall.

Next, they wonder how to interpret the State Department’s decision to remove some U.S. personnel and their dependents from Iraq, Kuwait, and Bahrain. Are we on the brink of conflict over Iran’s nuclear program or is this simply a move to pressure Iran to accept the U.S. nuclear deal?

Finally, they head back to Los Angeles as Mayor Karen Bass continues to ooze incompetence. And she is still blaming the rioting, the looting, and the property destruction on President Trump and his followers. Jim explains how Bass has now badly failed two big tests over the past six months and reminds us that Bass was on Joe Biden’s short list for a running mate in 2020.

Massive Immigrant Shift to GOP, Organized Chaos in LA, Hawley’s Wage Hike Plan

by

Listen to “Massive Immigrant Shift to GOP, Organized Chaos in LA, Hawley’s Wage Hike Plan” on Spreaker.

Inez Stepman of the Independent Women’s Forum fills in for Jim today on 3 Martini Lunch. Join Inez and Greg as they review a CNN poll showing immigrant voters shifting significantly to the GOP, address the clear organization present in the LA riots, and ponder the effects of Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley’s call for a minimum wage hike.

First, Inez and Greg analyze new CNN polling that shows a dramatic 40-point swing toward Republican immigration policies among legal immigrant voters over the past four years. Inez adamantly presents the recent situation with the LA riots as a prime example of why people do not trust leftist immigration policy.

Next, they examine the LA riots as a return to coordinated, violent left-wing activism. Inez also explains the distorted logic behind the rioters waving Mexican flags. And they marvel at how many people on the left and beyond openly admit they don’t want federal immigration laws enforced.

Finally, they unpack Sen. Josh Hawley’s proposal to raise the federal minimum wage to $15 per hour through his “Higher Wages for American Workers Act.” Greg argues the plan ignores basic economic principles, while Inez notes many employers already offer similar wages. She says the real danger lies in Hawley’s support for the PRO Act, which could reduce flexibility for freelancers and remote workers.

Fire & ICE in LA, Media Calls Riots Fun & Flames, Gillibrand’s Midterm Misdirection

by

Listen to “Fire & ICE in LA, Media Calls Riots Fun & Flames, Gillibrand’s Midterm Misdirection” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg for this Monday edition of the 3 Martini Lunch where they discuss the riots in Los Angeles, the media’s spin on the riots as well as President Trump ordering the National Guard to help, and New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand’s hypocritical new plan for putting Democrats back in the majority.

First, they are aghast at the general unrest in Los Angeles as ICE agents seek to round up criminal illegal immigrants. Although being just an eight-minute walk from the LAPD, it took two hours for police to respond to the attacks on the Roybal Federal Building. California Gov. Gavin Newsom, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, and former VP Kamala Harris all claim overreach by President Trump for sending in the National Guard, but Jim and Greg note how the LAPD initially seemed disinterested in ending the violence. Now the LAPD itself is claiming to be overwhelmed.

Next, Jim and Greg disdain the comical media coverage of the ‘mostly peaceful’ LA riots. Local and federal sources say people are merely enjoying themselves as they watch fires burn, yet Jim has yet to see them enjoying chocolate and marshmallows around the burning cars. For some reason, Democrats are so afraid of appearing to be Trump supporters that they cannot stand by simple expectations of peace, law, and order.

Last, they scoff at Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand’s plans to bring Democrats back to power by urging moderate Senate candidates in 2026. She’s a strange person to deliver that message after her history of pretending to be a moderate in the House and then immediately becoming a far left U.S. Senator. Jim blithely recalls Gillibrand’s pitiful and long forgotten attempt at running for president in 2020.

Jean-Pierre Claims Independence, Time to Ditch Debt Ceiling? Media Back Terrorist Family

by

Listen to “Jean-Pierre Claims Independence, Time to Ditch Debt Ceiling? Media Back Terrorist Family” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg for the 3 Martini Lunch as they roast Karine Jean-Pierre for her laughable new political posture, recoil at President Trump and Sen. Elizabeth Warren pushing to scrap the debt ceiling, and dive into the debate over the Boulder terrorist’s family.

First, Jim and Greg make no attempt to contain their ridicule of former White House Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre, as she laments the brokenness of Washington and positions herself as disillusioned with the system. Jean-Pierre is now burning bridges with Democrats and proving she frequently lied to us from the White House podium.

Next, they marvel at Trump and Warren’s sudden agreement on scrapping the debt ceiling. Jim points out that Trump has said he wants to balance the budget, yet he is pushing for more spending. They worry that this will lead to even more irresponsible spending in Washington.

Finally, they push back against media narratives painting the Boulder terrorist’s family as victims. The entire family overstayed tourist visas and is in the country illegally. Jim notes that U.S. law prohibits the families of terrorists from remaining in the country, making deportation not just appropriate, but required.

Middle Class Shifting to GOP, Homan’s Chilling Terror Warning, Dems Positioning for 2028

by

Listen to “Middle Class Shifting to GOP, Homan’s Chilling Terror Warning, Dems Positioning for 2028” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday edition of the 3 Martini Lunch as they dissect polls showing voters still trust Republicans more on the economy, shudder at Border Czar Tom Homan’s concern over major terrorist attacks in the U.S. due to Biden’s open borders, and size up the Democrats already dipping their toes into the water for 2028.

First, they highlight CNN’s Harry Enten reporting that Americans increasingly see Republicans as the party of the middle class and more trustworthy on economic issues. Enten appears frustrated by the trend, but Jim and Greg explain that the shift is no surprise—Democrats keep ignoring inflation, cost-of-living spikes, and pushing radical economic policies voters don’t want.

Next, they react to dire warnings from Border Czar Tom Homan, who says the Biden administration’s border failures have allowed two million “gotaways” into the country—migrants who deliberately avoided processing at the border. Homan warns it’s only a matter of time before some of these individuals commit a major terrorist attack inside the U.S.

Finally, they joke about the preemptive presidential campaigns begun by Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Maryland Gov. Wes Moore. In recent appearances in South Carolina, Walz called Trump a “wannabe dictator” and urged supporters to bully Trump. Meanwhile, Gov. Moore inists he’s not running for president in 2028 but keeps doing events like this. His record as governor is also not that great. And they also discuss the indecision of Kamala Harris over running for governor of California next year.

Anti-Semitic Terror in Colorado, Media’s Boulder Balderdash, Ukraine Drones Drive into Russia

by

Listen to “Anti-Semitic Terror in Colorado, Media’s Boulder Balderdash, Ukraine Drones Drive into Russia” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg for 3 Martini Lunch as they fume over the anti-Semitic attack in Boulder, Colorado, bemoan the abysmal media bias in covering the attack, and praise the recent Ukrainian drone attacks deep into Russia.

First, they denounce the anti-Semitic attack on a peaceful march demanding the release of hostages held by Hamas. An illegal immigrant reportedly hurled Molotov cocktails into the crowd, injuring eight people. The FBI labeled the assault an act of terrorism, marking yet another example of violence aimed at Jews, including the firebombing of the Pennsylvania governor’s residence and the murders of two Israeli embassy staffers in Washington.

Next, Jim and Greg berate the media’s disgraceful reporting. Major outlets downplayed the facts, ignored anti-Semitic motives, and misrepresented key details, which were laughable, exasperating, and entirely predictable.

Finally, they assess Ukraine’s successful drone offensive deep inside Russia. Using more than a hundred drones, Ukraine destroyed dozens of critical warplanes and sent a strategic message to Moscow. And Jim explains how Putin will only change if Russian elites begin to suffer from the war.

Mamdani’s Far Left Agenda for NYC, Truth Traps Tapper on Biden, Lorenz’s Nasty 9/11 Comments

by

Listen to “Mamdani’s Far Left Agenda for NYC, Truth Traps Tapper on Biden, Lorenz’s Nasty 9/11 Comments” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg for 3 Martini Lunch as they focus on three  crazy martinis to wrap up the week, as they tear into New York City mayoral hopeful Zohran Mamdani’s rent freeze scheme and his other far-left ideas, expose Jake Tapper’s ongoing excuses for his role in the Biden health cover up, and reproach Taylor Lorenz for her ugly remarks about 9/11.

First, Jim and Greg groan at the economic lunacy of Zohran Mamdani as he pledges to freeze rent across New York City if elected mayor. He’s also promising government-run grocery stores, “free” child care, and free bus rides — all paid for by hiking taxes on “the rich.”

Next, they harangue Jake Tapper for claiming he could not have done anything else to reveal the mental decline of Biden. Instead, Tapper blames it on the Biden family for pretending like nothing was wrong. Jim and Greg wonder how Tapper can act so innocent when the public has known for a long time about the incompetence of the former president.

Finally, they fume over the audacity of disturbed journalist Taylor Lorenz for suggesting 9/11 is treated as a joke by younger generations and people even have parties to mock it. Jim is baffled that after demonstrating her paranoia over masking and praising accused murderer Luigi Mangione, Lorenz believes she should be taken seriously. Her claims that 9/11 is a punchline is horrifying and further plummets her credibility as a journalist.

Trump Win Helped Hostages, DC Mayor’s Sanctuary City Shift, San Fran’s ‘Grade Equity’ Insanity

by

Listen to “Trump Win Helped Hostages, DC Mayor’s Sanctuary City Shift, San Fran’s ‘Grade Equity’ Insanity” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg for the 3 Martini Lunch as they briefly bemoan lazy disinformation before diving into today’s martinis. They tackle how Trump’s 2024 win quickly led to better treatment of Hamas hostages, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser’s quiet reversal on her sanctuary city policy, and San Francisco’s absurd new grading equity standards in public schools.

First, Jim and Greg react to a CNN interview with former hostage Omer Shem Tov, who says Trump’s 2024 election immediately led to better treatment of prisoners by Hamas. He says Hamas did not want Trump elected because its leaders knew their actions would no longer fly under his presidency.

Next, they are intrigued by Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser’s quick yet covert turnaround regarding her support of DC as a sanctuary city. It’s the right move but why is she really doing it? Jim argues that sanctuary cities are so 2020 and not so popular with DC residents.

Last, they get a good laugh over the whole new meaning of C’s get degrees with San Francisco’s grade equity policies for schools. Doing homework and attending class no longer matter. Getting a 41 percent out of 100 will get you a C and a 21 percent is still a passing grade. This means hard work goes out the window. Jim also wonders where this policy was when he was in school.

Can FBI Crack Cocaine Case? Elon Seeks More Spending Cuts, Harvard Fires Prof for Faking Dishonesty Data

by

Listen to “Can FBI Crack Cocaine Case? Elon Seeks More Spending Cuts, Harvard Fires Prof for Faking Dishonesty Data” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg for Tuesday’s 3 Martini Lunch as they dig into the FBI’s decision to reopen two politically charged investigations, Elon Musk’s disappointment with the amount of spending in the GOP bill, and a Harvard professor fired for falsifying her studies on dishonesty.

First, Jim and Greg commend the FBI for revisiting stalled investigations, namely the 2022 leak of the Supreme Court’s Dobbs abortion ruling and the 2023 discovery of cocaine inside the Biden White House. Both probes were closed under the current administration without answers.

Next, they examine Elon Musk’s criticism of the GOP’s “Big Beautiful Bill,” which he says includes far too much government spending.The legislation contains many strong conservative provisions, but Musk says it can’t be both big and beautiful and there are many areas ripe for spending reductions.

Finally, they laugh at the stunning irony of Harvard firing a tenured professor for the first time in nearly 80 years because she falsified her research on dishonesty. This leads Jim and Greg down the road of other famous examples of researchers and politicians fabricating their results.
