Deportations Ramping Up, An AI Surveillance State? Obama’s Democracy Demagoguery
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.
Trump’s Border Crackdown, Fauci’s Puzzling Pardon, Trump’s TikTok Proposal
Listen to “Trump’s Border Crackdown, Fauci’s Puzzling Pardon, Trump’s TikTok Proposal” on Spreaker.
Join Jim and Greg for 3 Martini Lunch as they dive into Trump’s tough border measures, the curious dates of Anthony Fauci’s pardon, and Trump’s freelancing on TikTok policy.
First, they cheer a report from Border Czar Tom Homan that fewer than 800 people illegally crossed our southwestern border on Trump’s first day, the Coast Guard stepping up against sea-based migration, and once-defiant Democrats now supporting ICE deportations of criminal illegals.
Next, they react to The Spectator’s reporting on Fauci’s pardon, which protects him from prosecution dating back to the start of 2014. Why? The answer seems to be connected to Fauci’s defiance of an Obama administration order against further gain of function research.
Finally, they discuss Trump’s public push for a TikTok sale, including his suggestion that the “United States of America” should control 50 percent of it. Does he want the government to have significant control over the app or is this merely a negotiating tactic? Either way, Jim says TikTok remains a national security threat and Trump needs to enforce the ban until a sale is actually imminent.

Trump Tariff Threats Motivate Mexico, Esquire’s Pardon Fiasco, CEO’s Shocking Manhattan Murder
Join Jim and Greg for 3 Martini Lunch as they unpack Trump’s tariff threats already reaping results in Mexico, humiliating missteps for Esquire and Ana Navarro regarding Biden’s pardon, and the shocking murder of a health insurance CEO in midtown Manhattan.
First, they highlight Mexico’s record-breaking fentanyl seizure just days after Trump threatened tariffs on Canada and Mexico for failing to curb illegal crossings and drug trafficking. They explore how Trump’s tough stance appears to be delivering swift action.
Next, they dive into the comedic fallout as Charles Pierce of Esquire and Ana Navarro of The View attempt to spin President Biden’s pardon of Hunter Biden with laughably false claims. Jim underscores the importance of basic fact-checking and common sense to avoid such embarrassing misfires.
Finally, they analyze the chilling murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Manhattan. Jim and Greg not only examine the emerging details of the case but also call out the disturbing rhetoric suggesting the CEO “deserved” it due to frustrations over denied insurance claims.

Massive Pro-Israel Rally in D.C., Biden’s Bad AI Deal with China, Fight Night on Capitol Hill
Join Jim and Greg as they celebrate the huge, peaceful, civilized rally in support of Israel on Tuesday, an event which brought a very welcome contrast to the violent, hateful demonstrations seen on campus and beyond against Israel and even supportive of Hamas.
They also wince at reports that President Biden is planning to sign a deal with Chinese dictator Xi Xinping to limit the use of artificial intelligence in nuclear weapons systems and drones because China won’t honor anything it signs if it has a strategic interest in violating the agreement.
Finally, they size up Tuesday’s near fight on Capitol Hill between Oklahoma Sen. Markwayne Mullin and Teamsters Union President Sean O’Brien with Bernie Sanders intervening to stop it. And former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy was part of a dust-up on the House side of Capitol Hill.

Biden Ready to Deal? Victory for Life in NC, China Touts AI Success
Listen to “Biden Ready to Deal? Victory for Life in NC, China Touts AI Success” on Spreaker.
Join Jim and Greg as they serve up two good martinis and an ominous one. First, they’re glad to to see President Biden move away from no discussion of reforms in exchange for an increase in the debt ceiling and agree to budget negotiations over the coming days. They also applaud Republicans in the North Carolina legislature for staying unanimous to override Gov. Roy Cooper’s veto of a 12-week abortion ban. Finally, they react to news that China aloowed artificial intelligence to control a satellite and make decisions about what it would do. How fast is AI growing? Can we rein it in? And if we do, will our adversaries have a major advantage?
