Judge Helps Illegal Evade ICE, Colorado’s Immigration Tantrum, Pritzker’s Pointless Campaign

April 28, 2025 by GregC

Listen to “Judge Helps Illegal Evade ICE, Colorado’s Immigration Tantrum, Pritzker’s Pointless Campaign” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg for the latest 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss the FBI arresting a Wisconsin judge for helping an illegal alien evade ICE, Colorado Democrats moving to criminalize cooperation with ICE, and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker signaling a likely but probably futile 2028 presidential campaign.

First, they break down the shocking story of Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan, who allegedly allowed a criminal illegal alien defendant to escape her courtroom through the jury door to prevent Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from taking him into custody. Democrats and the media are trying to portray Dugan’s arrest as political retaliation for opposing former President Trump’s immigration policies. Jim and Greg explain why that narrative is completely false.

Next, they dive into Colorado’s efforts to punish government employees, school officials, and others who cooperate with ICE agents. Jim finds it amusing how the left, after years of demanding federal supremacy on immigration, now embraces state power when it suits their agenda. Greg points out that these first two martinis highlight an inescapable conclusion about many Democrats.

Finally, they preview the likely 2028 presidential campaign of Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker. Jim and Greg note the irony of the multi-billionaire governor trying to position himself as a populist while urging Democrats not to give Republicans a moment’s peace. But they see many reasons why Pritzker’s likely campaign will be a dud.

SCOTUS Rules Trump Stays on Ballot, Univ. of Florida Kills DEI, Oregon Backtracks on Hard Drugs

March 4, 2024 by GregC

Listen to “SCOTUS Rules Trump Stays on Ballot, Univ. of Florida Kills DEI, Oregon Backtracks on Hard Drugs” on Spreaker.

It’s nothing but good martinis for Jim and Greg on Monday’s 3 Martini Lunch!

First, Jim declares vindication after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that Donald Trump must be allowed on the Colorado GOP primary ballot after that state’s supreme court kicked him off based on the insurrection clause of Section 3 in the 14th Amendment. Jim says without a conviction or even an indictment for insurrection, taking such action against Trump was a very weak legal position.

Next, they welcome the University of Florida eliminating DEI (“Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion”) programs and personnel. It’s not only the right move but it also showcases the leadership of Gov. Ron DeSantis getting this policy through the Florida legislature and University of Florida Pres. Ben Sasse for implementing it.

Finally, they cheer Oregon for correcting a 2020 referendum that decriminalized personal use amounts of drugs, including hard drugs like meth and heroin. Oregon subsequently fell to 50th in access to drug treatment and witnesses a spike in overdoses. Jim says this is another example of how reality did not turn out anything like the experts insisted it would.

Youngkin Targets the Car Tax, Colorado Bars Trump from the Ballot, Kirby’s Afghanistan Revisionism

December 20, 2023 by GregC

Listen to “Youngkin Targets the Car Tax, Colorado Bars Trump from Ballot, Kirby’s Afghan Revisionism” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they cheer Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin for making a strong case to permanently kill the horrible car tax that resident have to pay every year simply for owning a car. But will the idea go anywhere with Democrats controlling the legislature?

Then they dig into the Colorado Supreme Court’s decision to ban Donald Trump from the 2024 Republican primary ballot because he allegedly led an insurrection, and that disqualifies him under the 14th Amendment to the Constitution. But with no criminal charges of insurrection and a political acquittal, does the court have any grounds to do this? The U.S. Supreme Court will decide.

They also blast White House National Security Council Spokesman John Kirby for trying to convince us that we really didn’t leave tens of billions worth of military equipment behind in Afghanistan.

Finally, be sure to catch Jim and Greg handing out their prestigious 3 Martini Lunch Awards starting Thursday and running through the end of the year. They’ll reveal their choices for the most overrated and underrated political figures, rising political stars and figures fading into oblivion, beast and worst political ideas, best and worst political theater, and overreported and underreported stories of the year. At the end of next week, they will announce their choices for Person of the Year, Turncoat of the Year, and make predictions for 2024. Join us tomorrow for all of the fun!

June 29, 2022 by GregC

Listen to “Dems Waste Campaign Money, Conflicting Jan. 6 Accounts, Ghislaine Jailed But Clients Skate” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they follow up on the Colorado Senate race and how Democrats wasted $4 million trying to influence the GOP primary. They also discuss Cassidy Hutchinson’s testimony before the January 6th committee and how two Secret Service agents strongly deny her account of President Trump’s behavior after the rally that day. And they welcome the sentence of Epstein madam Ghislaine Maxwell but lament that the many clients who violated underage girls will apparently face no consequences whatsoever.

April 5, 2022 by GregC

Listen to “Barrett Braces for Blowback, Radical Abortion Bills, Whitmer Won’t Update Voter Rolls” on Spreaker.

Join Greg and “Political Beats” podcast host Scot Bertram as they appreciate Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett telling Americans to “read the opinion” before getting worked up over the court’s upcoming opinions. They also analyze the effects of Colorado’s newly signed abortion bill, which allows abortions up to the moment of birth, and the hard left shift by Democrats nationally on the issue of life. And they roll their eyes as Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer vetoes legislation to clean up the voter rolls of citizens, saying it’s an undue burden on county clerks.

From Tulsi with Love? Gardner on the Ropes, Nine Years of Three Martinis

October 18, 2019 by GregC

Listen to “From Tulsi with Love? Gardner on the Ropes, Nine Years of Three Martinis” on Spreaker.

It’s a festive Friday as Jim is back to finish out the week. He and Greg wonder just how far Hillary Clinton is removed from reality as she claims voter suppression cost her key states in 2016 and that Russia will run Tulsi Gabbard as a third party candidate this year to help President Trump get re-elected. They also cringe as new polling shows incumbent Colorado GOP Sen. Cory Gardner with just 42 percent and losing to Democrat John Hickenlooper by double digits. And they close the week out by celebrating nine fun years of the Three Martini Lunch and looking forward to many more!

Inslee Exits, Hickenlooper Runs for Senate, Walsh 2020?

August 22, 2019 by GregC

Listen to “Inslee Exits, Hickenlooper Runs for Senate, Walsh 2020?” on Spreaker.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America enjoy a fun episode by discussing three presidential hopefuls who never had a chance. They start by applauding Washington Gov. Jay Inslee for recognizing he wasn’t going to win and getting out of the Democratic presidential race. They also sigh as former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper starts running for U.S. Senate just days after dropping out of the presidential field, and admit he’s got a pretty good chance of winning. And they wonder why one-term former Illinois Rep. Joe Walsh is seriously considering a GOP primary challenge to President Trump.

Colorado Baker in LGBT Cross Hairs Again

June 24, 2019 by GregC

Listen to “Colorado Baker in LGBT Cross Hairs Again” on Spreaker.

Last year, the U.S. Supreme Court sided with a Colorado baker who was punished by the government for refusing to design a wedding cake for a same-sex couple based on his sincerely-held Christian beliefs.  But Jack Phillips is headed back to court yet again after refusing to make a cake celebrating the coming out of a transgender person.

Alliance Defending Freedom is defending Phillips again.  Senior Counsel Jonathan Scruggs says a single attorney is bound and determined to make Phillips suffer the legal consequences of not accommodating the LGBT agenda.

This time a transgendered person identifying as a woman named Autumn Scardina wanted Phillips to make a cake celebrating Scardina’s decision to go public with a change in gender identity.  Scruggs says it’s just the latest attempt by Scardina and others to sue Phillips.

“It really has been a story of harassment.  Jack has received all these different kinds of requests, particularly from this one lawyer but from other people too that are really meant to harass him – things like celebrating Satan’s birthday or other obscene requests that no person would want to create,” said Scruggs.

The Colorado Civil Right Commission was chastened by the Supreme Court for not treating Phillips in a neutral fashion based on his faith.  The commission initially joined this latest lawsuit but backed away when the Alliance Defending Freedom presented additional evidence of the state officials treating Phillips in a biased fashion.

While Scruggs believes Phillips is on very strong legal ground, it’s still an extremely stressful time for him.

“The government didn’t want to touch this in the State of Colorado but now that attorney (Scardina), who didn’t like the result of that case, has filed suit against Jack and is seeking attorneys fees and damages that really could put Jack in a very difficult financial situation.  Really, his livelihood is on the line,” said Scruggs.

Listen to the full podcast to hear how ADF forced the Colorado Civil Rights Commission to back away from the case, how Phillips approaches his job in the midst of this debate, and what Scruggs thinks of the Equality Act, which would remove the legal underpinning for people like Phillips to live out their faith.

Reassessing the Refunds, Hickenlooper 2020, Gillibrand Denies Flip-Flopping

March 4, 2019 by GregC

Listen to “Reassessing the Refunds, Hickenlooper 2020, Gillibrand Denies Flip-Flopping” on Spreaker.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America welcome the news that tax refunds are now slightly outpacing the amounts issued last year by the IRS.  They also examine the record of the latest Democrat to run for president – former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper – and whether he has any path to victory.  And they get a kick out of New York Sen. Gillbrand insisting she’s not a flip-flopper after running for Congress as a moderate Democrat and now running for president as a ardent progressive.

In Defense of the Electoral College

February 28, 2019 by GregC

Listen to “In Defense of the Electoral College” on Spreaker.

After winning the popular vote but losing the presidency twice in 16 years, Democrats are determined to make a majority of the Electoral College contingent on which candidate wins the popular vote, but one expert says we might want to remember why the founders set things up this way before we change them.

This week, Colorado became the twelfth state to enact legislation requiring it’s electoral votes to be awarded to the winner of the national popular vote, regardless of the outcome in those states.  Right now, those 12 states total 181 electoral votes.

So why did the founders create the Electoral College?

“The founders didn’t fully trust the idea of democracy yet also wanted to give some leeway to the states to have their own voting system.  They wanted to protect the idea of federalism and leave to them how their elections would go,” said Jarrett Stepman, an editor and commentary writer at the Daily Signal, which is affiliated with the Heritage Foundation.

He says it also gives smaller states a slightly larger voice in the presidential election.  Electoral votes are awarded to states based on the number of senators and representatives they have.  Since all states have two senators, smaller states receive a bit more of a percentage of the electoral vote than their populations would indicate.

In the early decades of the United States, state affiliation often trumped national affiliation, prompting the founders to put a premium on state power.

“They all had this general concept that the concept of federalism really protects the idea of liberty and self-government, especially in a broad-based republic like ours,” said Stepman.

In addition to principle, says Stepman, is practicality.  He says as ugly as the 2000 Florida recount was to determine whether George W. Bush or Al Gore would win the state and the presidency, imagine a nationwide recount to settle such a dilemma.

“It would have been a giant national nightmare, even beyond what it was.  This would have looked like a mass national recount.  It was so bad as it was in Florida itself, you can only imagine what this would be across the country,” said Stepman.

Listen to the full podcast to hear Stepman explain the legal hurdles awaiting this movement to circumvent the Electoral College, what Alexander Hamilton said about it in Federalist 68, and why we badly need to improve civics education.
