Pope Francis Dies, Dems’ New El Salvador Stunt, Hogging the DNC Spotlight

April 21, 2025 by GregC

Listen to “Pope Francis Dies, Dems’ New El Salvador Stunt, Hogging the DNC Spotlight” on Spreaker.

Jim Geraghty is back! Join Jim and Greg for 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss the death of Pope Francis, more Democrats preparing to grandstand in El Salvador, and David Hogg stirring internal tension within the DNC. Plus, Jim offers a quick update on where he was last week.

First, they react to the passing of Pope Francis, who died just hours after attending Easter Sunday services at the Vatican. Jim and Greg reflect on Francis’s 12-year papacy—highlighting how his comments on cultural and political issues often energized progressives before being walked back by Vatican officials. They also discuss how his views on climate change, wealth redistribution, and illegal immigration often frustrated conservatives. And they humorously clarify that Vice President J.D. Vance had nothing to do with the pope’s passing.

Next, they unpack a trip planned by four House Democrats to El Salvador to advocate for Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Jim criticizes the media’s portrayal of Garcia as a harmless “Maryland Dad,” drawing parallels to past sympathetic framing of problematic figures. He agrees Garcia should return to the U.S. for legal proceedings—before being deported back to El Salvador where he belongs.

Finally, they enjoy the drama unfolding within the Democratic Party as David Hogg announces plans to back challengers to numerous sitting Democrats. His efforts are already causing stress within the DNC, with many Democrats pushing back and defending their incumbents. It’s shaping up to be quite the primary season—popcorn, anyone?

Trump’s New Tariffs, FBI Helped Bury Biden Laptop Story, Hakeem Jeffries’ Lousy Leadership

April 3, 2025 by GregC

Listen to “Trump’s New Tariffs, FBI Helped Bury Biden Laptop Story, Hakeem Jeffries’ Lousy Leadership” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg for 3 Martini Lunch as they analyze President Trump’s latest tariffs, the FBI’s complicity in silencing on the Hunter Biden laptop, and the underwhelming leadership of House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries.

First, they break down Trump’s sweeping new tariffs on most nations and imported automobiles, explaining the economic arguments for and against them and what the impact could be, depending upon how other nations respond. Jim also exposes how tariffs are being applied to places with no human inhabitants or economic relevance. Plus, they explain why anyone who grew up in the 1980s should understand this issue.

Next, they examine newly revealed internal FBI chats proving the agency knew in mid-October 2020 that the Hunter Biden laptop was real and under criminal investigation—yet remained silent while Democrats and the media buried the story.

Finally, while it’s good for the GOP, they wonder why House Democrats continue backing Hakeem Jeffries as their leader. His speaking style lacks impact, and he repeatedly pushes unpopular positions—most recently daring Republicans to vote on the SAVE Act, which mandates photo ID and proof of citizenship to vote.

Astronauts Safely Return, Will Schumer Survive as Leader? Walz Won’t Go Away

March 19, 2025 by GregC

Listen to “Astronauts Safely Return, Will Schumer Survive as Leader? Walz Won’t Go Away” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg for 3 Martini Lunch as they break down SpaceX’s dramatic rescue of American astronauts, Chuck Schumer’s struggle to survive mounting pressure from the left, and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s relentless bid for political relevance.

First, they celebrate the safe return of astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams after their planned eight-day mission stretched into more than nine months aboard the International Space Station. They credit SpaceX and Elon Musk for achieving what Boeing and the federal government could not—while dismissing weak arguments that the astronauts weren’t truly stranded.

Next, they grab the popcorn as Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer faces an uproar from progressives after helping Republicans break the filibuster to keep the government open. With at least one House Democrat calling for new leadership and many others still fuming, Schumer attempted damage control on The View—only to alienate business owners by mocking their complaints over high taxes.

Finally, they groan as Gov. Tim Walz keeps forcing himself into the political spotlight with speeches in multiple states. While he has every right to speak out, it’s now widely accepted that his addition to Kamala Harris’s ticket last year didn’t help, and there’s little indication he has any lasting influence in the party.

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

February 19, 2025 by GregC

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.

CBS vs. Free Speech, Illegal Border Crossings Plummet, The Right Dominates Political Messaging

February 17, 2025 by GregC

Listen to “CBS vs. Free Speech, Illegal Border Crossings Plummet, The Right Is Winning the Messaging Wars” on Spreaker.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour Host Scot Bertram fills in for Jim. Join Scot and Greg for the 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss CBS News’ attacks on free speech, the significant decline in illegal border crossings, and how the right is outpacing the left on political messaging. They also offer their quick thoughts on the 50th anniversary of Saturday Night Live.
They start with a deep dive into multiple efforts by CBS News to undermine free speech. Scot and Greg explore the controversial comments made by Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan, who suggested that too much free speech contributed to the rise of the Nazis and the Holocaust. They also take aim at 60 Minutes‘ favorable coverage of German laws prosecuting individuals for allegedly posting offensive or false information online. They explain why CBS is taking this dangerous position and how it distorts the concept of free speech.
Next, the hosts celebrate the dramatic drop in illegal border crossings. They highlight a report showing just 229 illegal crossings on Sunday, a stark contrast to the peak numbers during the Biden administration. Greg attributes the sharp decline to policies enacted by the Trump administration that ended the incentives for illegal immigration, while Scot points out that President Biden could have implemented similar measures to achieve these results but refused.
Then they marvel at a new Politico report in which Democrats acknowledge that Republicans are “running circles” around them in terms of political messaging, which has almost never been the case. Scot explains why this is a significant development for the left, and how it explains their efforts, along with the media, to suppress free speech.
Finally, Scot shares his thoughts on Sunday’s 50th anniversary special for Saturday Night Live and which moments stood out in the program.

Positive Michigan Senate Poll, The Dems’ DOGE Hysteria, Oval Office Access Spat

February 12, 2025 by GregC

Listen to “Positive Michigan Senate Poll, The Dems’ DOGE Hysteria, Oval Office Access Spat” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg on 3 Martini Lunch as they focus on a new Michigan poll suggesting Republicans have the edge in the 2026 Senate race, the Dems’ hysterical focus on Elon Musk and DOGE, and the White House barring the Associated Press from an Oval Office gathering because it won’t acknowledge the Gulf of America,

First, Jim and Greg analyze a very early poll showing Republican Mike Rogers leading Pete Buttigieg in a hypothetical U.S. Senate matchup. Could the GOP win a Senate seat in Michigan for the first time in more than 30 years? They also discuss the weak fundraising numbers from New Hampshire Senator Jeanne Shaheen and debate whether New Hampshire might present a valuable GOP pickup opportunity in the 2026 elections.

Next, Jim and Greg dive into the Democrats’ exaggerated outrage over “unelected bureaucrats” making decisions within the executive branch, particularly regarding the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Democrats have long used the administrative state to push their policies, yet they now criticize the same system they’ve relied on.. However, they do encourage Elon Musk and his team to be more transparent about what they are finding so the American people can see it all.

Finally, Jim and Greg react to the ongoing spat between the White House and the Associated Press (AP) over press access to the Oval Office. The White House allegedly blocked the AP from a pool of reporters during an Oval Office event because the wire service refuses to use “Gulf of America” instead of the preferred “Gulf of Mexico.”

Michigan’s Looming Senate Battle, Deep Panic Over DeepSeek, Will AI ‘Reconfigure’ Society?

January 28, 2025 by GregC

Listen to “Michigan’s Looming Senate Battle, Deep Panic Over DeepSeek, Will AI ‘Reconfigure’ Society?” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg on 3 Martini Lunch as they analyze three critical topics: the GOP’s chances of flipping a Michigan Senate seat, whether China now has a significant lead in AI development, and bold predictions about AI’s impact on society.
First, they break down the implications of Michigan Senator Gary Peters’ decision not to seek re-election in 2026. With Republicans narrowly missing a Senate seat there last cycle, could this be their best shot at a pickup in decades? Jim and Greg explore the political landscape and speculate on potential contenders for the open seat.
Next, they scrutinize DeepSeek, a Chinese-linked artificial intelligence reportedly more advanced than U.S.-developed AI. Jim questions the company’s claims about its development timeline and costs, while both hosts express frustration over Americans willingly embracing more Chinese-made tech that could compromise privacy and security.
Finally, they react to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s provocative assertion that artificial intelligence may lead to significant societal restructuring. While they acknowledge the transformative power of technological breakthroughs, Jim and Greg roll their eyes at the dramatic, Bond villain-esque rhetoric surrounding AI’s potential influence.

Deportations Ramping Up, An AI Surveillance State? Obama’s Democracy Demagoguery

January 24, 2025 by GregC

Listen to “Deportations Ramping Up, An AI Surveillance State? Obama’s Democracy Demagoguery” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg on 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss the increasing deportations of criminal illegal immigrants to Larry Ellison’s alarming vision of a surveillance state to Barack Obama’s latest condescending remarks on democracy and political alliances.

First, Jim and Greg express their approval of the Trump administration’s swift action to apprehend and deport more than a thousand criminal illegals, with deportation flights already underway. They emphasize the importance of political leaders addressing issues head-on rather than just running on them.

Next, they react to Oracle founder Larry Ellison’s disturbing suggestion that a nationwide surveillance system will soon track police and civilians through cameras everywhere, supposedly keeping everyone on their best behavior through AI monitoring. Jim and Greg strongly prefer letting Americans retain the freedoms they still have. Ellison also visited the White House recently for the announcement of a $500 billion AI infrastructure project, leading to public backlash from Elon Musk. Jim analyzes the potential impact on the Trump-Musk relationship.

Finally, Jim and Greg groan as Barack Obama addresses the Democracy Forum, complaining about voters not prioritizing democracy in the 2024 election. Obama implies that the left should focus on getting more people to agree with him, rather than engaging in self-reflection. It’s an arrogance that’s unlikely to win him many new friends.

Trump Inaugurated, More Disgraceful Biden Pardons, Huge Public Support for Trump on Key Issues

January 20, 2025 by GregC

Listen to “Trump Inaugurated, More Disgraceful Biden Pardons, Public Backs Trump Big on Key Issues” on Spreaker.

Undisputed King of Stuff and Sink the Rising Sun author Jon Gabriel is in for Jim on 3 Martini Lunch. Jon and Greg reflect on the inauguration of Donald Trump as the 47th President of the United States. They also discuss Joe Biden’s final pre-emptive pardons for political allies and family members, as well as new polling data showing overwhelming American support for Trump’s stance on deportations and trans issues.

First, they welcome Donald Trump’s inauguration and celebrate the end of Joe Biden’s presidency. They express their excitement about the immediate steps taken by President Trump to address key issues, including border security, deportations, energy independence, and rolling back the green agenda, and DEI policies.

Next, they discuss Joe Biden’s predictable but revolting actions in issuing pardons to five more family members plus Dr. Anthony Fauci, Gen. Mark Milley, and all members and staff of the January 6th committee in Congress. Jon and Greg highlight the hypocrisy of Biden’s 2020 vow not to use pardons for family members or to try to change federal policy through social media. They reflect on how these pardons further reveal Biden’s weak character and legacy as a failed president.

The episode concludes with a look at the latest New York Times Ipsos poll, which shows a massive shift in public opinion. Americans overwhelmingly support deporting criminal illegal immigrants and oppose the idea of males competing in female sports or giving puberty blockers to minors. Jon and Greg discuss how this cultural shift signals a broader change in American values over the past few months.

Finally, they look at the latest New York Times/Ipsos poll, which shows a massive shift in public opinion. Americans overwhelmingly support deporting criminal illegal immigrants and a strong majority wants mass deportations of illegals. By huge numbers, Americans also oppose the idea of males competing in female sports or giving puberty blockers to minors.

The Israel-Hamas Ceasefire, Karine Jean-Pierre’s Pettiness, Biden’s Pathetic Farewell

January 16, 2025 by GregC

Listen to “The Israel-Hamas Ceasefire, Karine Jean-Pierre’s Pettiness, Biden’s Pathetic Farewell” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg on 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss the fragile Middle East ceasefire that could bring the hostages home, the petty response from Karine Jean-Pierre to President Trump’s role in the deal, and President Biden’s underwhelming farewell speech.

First, they express cautious optimism over the ceasefire deal, which they hope will bring home many of the remaining Israeli and American hostages. However, Jim remains realistic about the ongoing dangers, emphasizing that as long as hostilities are paused, Hamas will continue to manipulate the situation to their advantage.

Next, they highlight State Department Press Secretary Matthew Miller thanking the incoming Trump administration for its help in securing the ceasefire. When White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked about Miller’s comments, she downplayed his remarks and tried to redirect the credit solely to President Biden, calling Miller a “random person” in the process.

Finally, they groan over President Biden’s self-indulgent farewell speech that vastly overhyped his accomplishments, tried to settle some scores, and took aim at billionaire “oligarchs,” the same people he had no problems with until a couple of them stopped supporting him.
