DEI

Our Very Consistent Climate, Economy Slightly Shrinks, Will Dems Use DEI to Ditch David Hogg?

by

Listen to “Our Very Consistent Climate, Economy Slightly Shrinks, Will Dems Use DEI to Ditch David Hogg?” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg for 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss a new climate report that the left will immediately ignore, the economy shrinking slightly in the first quarter, and the Democrats turning to hilarious methods to kick David Hogg out of his DNC leadership position.

First, they spotlight a new report from the University of Exeter showing that polar ice levels have remained remarkably consistent over the past two decades. It also aligns with research showing the climate is cyclical and polar ice levels rise and fall as these cycles play out. Jim and Greg contrast this data with the apocalyptic projections of Al Gore and others over the past few decades.

Next, they wince as the U.S. economy (GDP) contracted by 0.3 percent. They also point out that the decline was overwhelmingly driven by a huge increase in imports as countries raced to get their products here before the Trump tariffs kicked in. Without the surge in imports, we likely would have seen GDP increase by more than three percent. What does this news tell us about where the economy is heading from here?

Finally, they have a lot of fun watching the Democratic National Committee turn to identity politics in it’s latest, obvious attempt to run David Hogg out of its leadership. There is now a challenge to Hogg’s election back in January. One of the candidates he defeated says the election process was unfair to women of color. Jim and Greg have some fun imagining what the DNC will look like if this woke approach is followed to its natural conclusion.

ICE’s Ingenious Arrest, UK Court Confirms Gender Reality, Tables Turn on Letitia James

by

Listen to “ICE’s Ingenious Arrest, UK Court Confirms Gender Reality, Tables Turn on Letitia James” on Spreaker.

Former Chief Assistant U.S. Attorney and National Review Contributing Editor Andy McCarthy is in for Jim on Tuesday’s 3 Martini Lunch. Join Andy and Greg as they dig into ICE’s clever move to apprehend a Columbia protest leader, the UK Supreme Court’s affirmation of reality concerning biological sex, and the legal spotlight now shining on New York Attorney General Letitia James for behavior strikingly similar to what she prosecuted Donald Trump for last year.

First, they applaud ICE agents for their creative tactics in apprehending Columbia University student and anti-Israel protest organizer Mohsen Mahdawi by summoning him under the guise of a naturalization interview. Andy also breaks down the legal distinctions between citizens and non-citizens when it comes to speech that incites hate. Greg highlights how mainstream media continue to spin radical activists like Mahdawi into sympathetic figures.

Next, they’re pleasantly surprised over the UK Supreme Court’s ruling affirming that sex is binary—just male and female. Considering the dominance of gender ideology in the UK and elsewhere, the decision wasn’t guaranteed. The ruling stemmed from a case designed to clarify DEI policies in Scotland, so there’s still a long way to go. Andy explains how his legal background helps interpret such cultural shifts. Greg adds that if momentum keeps building for biological truth, expect many elites to pretend they never supported the opposite.

Finally, they react to news that New York Attorney General Letitia James is under federal investigation for mortgage fraud and falsifying financial records— the same offenses she charged Trump with in 2023. Authorities say she claimed a Virginia property as her permanent residence, which could disqualify her from her role. She also missated the number of units existed in another property. Andy closely followed the frivolous case against Trump and is stunned that James would have brought those charges forward with this kind of baggage in her own background.

Assessing The Start of Trump’s Second Term: Economy, Foreign Policy, and Culture

by

Listen to “Assessing The Start of Trump’s Second Term: Economy, Foreign Policy, and Culture” on Spreaker.

Before heading out on his trip, Jim and Greg recorded a special episode analyzing the Trump administration’s early weeks, covering key issues from the economy to foreign policy and cultural battles.

First, they break down the economy. Jim highlights Trump’s positive moves on taxes and deregulation but warns that tariffs, particularly against Canada and Mexico, could backfire. Greg focuses on DOGE’s efforts to track government spending and the Democrats’ unhinged reaction to the audit. But will it lead to real fiscal responsibility? He’s skeptical.

Next, they assess foreign affairs. Jim notes that Iran and its proxies have curbed their aggression under Trump, and decisive action is being taken against terrorists. However, he criticizes Trump’s habit of publicly chastising U.S. allies. Greg argues that Trump’s unpredictability is a strength but warns he must be ready for the consequences of issuing ultimatums.

Finally, they tackle cultural issues. Jim praises Trump for rooting out DEI from the federal government but cautions that some newfound conservative allies—like those opposing men in women’s sports—won’t align on other issues. Greg agrees Trump has handled the major cultural fights well but stresses that he must stay focused on core voter concerns: inflation and immigration.

Oh, and if you hear Jim and Greg joking about a calamity prompting this episode, don’t worry—they’re both fine! Jim is set to return for regular episodes early next week.

Property Taxes Are A Scam, Elon Email Backlash May Help DOGE, Intel Community Depravity

by

Listen to “Property Taxes Are A Scam, Elon Email Backlash May Help DOGE, Intel Community Depravity” 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 break down why property taxes are a big government scam, how Elon Musk’s email controversy could legally benefit DOGE, and the disturbing ways intelligence agencies allow employees to spend their workdays discussing their bizarre sexual issues—all on the taxpayer’s dime.

First, they applaud Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for exposing the absurdity of property taxes and how the government forces homeowners to pay yearly taxes on property they already own and have already been taxed on. Andy also highlights how progressives manipulate the assessment system to unfairly burden both the wealthy and the poor to raise money for their insatiable appetite for big government.

Next, Andy digs into his column on how Elon Musk’s weekend order may have been an impulsive command to President Trump’s comments, but the refusal of multiple cabinet-level officials to comply with the directive could actually strengthen DOGE’s legal position in the long run.

Finally, parental discretion is advised as Greg and Andy react with disgust to reports that NSA, CIA, and DIA employees spent their work hours in two NSA LGBT chatrooms discussing their trans identities and explicit fetishes. Even worse, NSA leadership defends this behavior as “not only mission critical but mission imperative.” Andy questions how these agencies, which repeatedly fail to anticipate major global events yet demand more funding, have time to foster and participate in such activities.

McConnell Won’t Run Again, More Hamas Horrors, DOGE Cuts & ‘Malicious Compliance’

by

Listen to “McConnell Won’t Run Again, More Hamas Horrors, DOGE Cuts & ‘Malicious Compliance'” on Spreaker.

Inez Stepman of the Independent Women’s Forum fills in for Jim on the 3 Martini Lunch podcast. Join Inez and Greg as they discuss Sen. Mitch McConnell announcing he won’t run again, the latest unspeakable atrocities committed by Hamas, and how federal agencies are making DOGE-related budget cuts painful for the public.

First, they analyze Mitch McConnell’s decision to retire after 42 years in the Senate and 18 years as GOP leader, and they assess his performance. They credit McConnell for defending free speech, blocking left-wing policies, and confirming conservative judicial nominees. However, they criticize his failure to address federal spending and his lack of progress on conservative priorities during Republican control of the Senate.

Next, Inez and Greg express their outrage over the latest atrocities perpetrated by Hamas, including a gruesome ceremony involving the return of hostages’ remains and reports detailing how the two young brothers who were brutally murdered. In addition,  the remains of their mother, Shiri Bibas, were excluded from the return to Israel. With Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowing reprisals, Inez and Greg reflect on the critical details of the Bibas family’s abduction and the role of the Red Cross in facilitating the spectacle we saw this week.

Inez and Greg discuss government-run sites making DOGE-related budget cuts as painful as possible for visitors. They highlight three instances of “malicious compliance” and recall past government shutdown tactics used by Democrats to needlessly inconvenience the public.

DNC Debate Disaster, The Potomac Crash Blame Game, Gabbard on the Hot Seat

by

Listen to “DNC Debate Disaster, The Potomac Crash Blame Game, Gabbard on the Hot Seat” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg on this episode of the 3 Martini Lunch as they dive into a chaotic Democratic National Committee chairman debate, the political finger-pointing following the deadly Potomac crash, and Tulsi Gabbard’s contentious confirmation hearings to become Director of National Intelligence.

First, they analyze the delightfully disastrous DNC chairman debate, where every candidate seems to have missed the lessons of the 2024 election. Each candidate for DNC chairman agreed that racism and misogyny were key factors in Kamala Harris losing the election. If that weren’t enough, the forum was also repeatedly interrupted by demonstrators accusing Democrats of being too cozy with Big Oil.

Next, they discuss the immediate blame game following the tragic midair collision between a regional airliner and a U.S. Army Blackhawk helicopter. Jim and Greg express frustration as both sides of the aisle politicize the disaster—Democrats blame Trump for firing the head of TSA and other officials, while Trump points to Biden-era DEI policies at the FAA. Jim and Greg agree that prioritizing DEI for those positions is dangerous but wonder why Trump was pushing that issue right away without public evidence that it was a factor in this case.

Finally, they examine Tulsi Gabbard’s confirmation hearing for Director of National Intelligence. Jim highlights her recent shift on several key issues, ranging from Trump’s strike on Soleimani to Edward Snowden. However, they agree that significant changes are necessary in U.S. intelligence leadership after years of partisanship and disinformation, particularly from figures like James Clapper and John Brennan.
