Trump vs. Harvard, Deportations & Due Process, The Left’s Green Promises Fail Again

April 15, 2025 by GregC

Listen to “Trump vs. Harvard, Deportations & Due Process, The Left’s Green Promises Fail Again” on Spreaker.

Former Chief Assistant U.S. Attorney and National Review Contributing Editor Andy McCarthy joins Greg for Tuesday’s 3 Martini Lunch. Today, they tackle Harvard’s complaining about the Trump administration’s demands, the legal fight over an illegal immigrant deported to El Salvador, and fresh evidence that the left’s climate promises don’t add up.

First, they highlight Harvard’s response to having more than $2 billion in federal grants frozen for refusing to comply with Trump administration orders targeting antisemitism and more. Andy questions why a wealthy institution like Harvard relies on taxpayer dollars at all, but also warns against government overreach—regardless of party. Meanwhile, Greg notes the irony of Harvard objecting to federal pressure when the left regularly uses it to punish conservative schools and organizations.

Next, they examine the legal fight surrounding Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an illegal immigrant deported to El Salvador and now imprisoned there. A federal judge has ruled that Garcia must be returned to the U.S. due to a violation of his due process rights. Andy explains why the court is legally correct and critiques the White House’s arguments on the issue. Greg questions why the U.S. government makes it so easy for people to enter illegally but so difficult to remove them. Andy points to the man he says is responsible for this mess.

Finally, they dissect a Washington Post analysis revealing that many “green” home retrofits don’t produce energy savings for years—or even decades. Andy argues this underscores how the environmental left’s agenda is filled with economic and environmental contradictions. He also points out that some of these so-called green initiatives are actually terrible for the environment in many ways.

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.

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.

Trudeau Resigning, Biden Honors Soros, Joe’s Ugly Exit

January 6, 2025 by GregC

Listen to “Trudeau Resigning, Biden Honors Soros, Joe’s Ugly Exit” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg for 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s impending resignation, President Biden awarding the Presidential Medal of Freedom to George Soros and other unworthy recipients, and Biden’s final actions to undermine U.S. energy development.

First, they react to Trudeau’s announcement that he will step down as prime minister once his party selects a new leader. Jim breaks down the issues that led to widespread dissatisfaction with Trudeau, many of which may sound familiar. They also discuss what lies ahead for Canada.

Next, they express outrage over President Biden awarding the Presidential Medal of Freedom to George Soros, a man who has spent decades funding efforts to weaken and destabilize America. They also highlight several other questionable recipients who don’t deserve such a prestigious honor.

Finally, they examine more ways that Biden is throwing a tantrum as he winds down his presidency, including his decision to ban offshore drilling off both coasts, parts of the Gulf of Mexico, and a major section of Alaska. Additionally, Biden is enacting new regulations targeting gas-powered water heaters.

Dems’ Pennsylvania Panic, Big Tech Embraces Nuclear, Kamala & the Middle East

October 18, 2024 by GregC

Listen to “Dems’ Pennsylvania Panic, Big Tech Embraces Nuclear, Kamala & the Middle East” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg for a special edition of the 3 Martini Lunch as they serve up two good martinis, a crazy one, and some fun to celebrate the podcast’s 14-year anniversary. Today, they discuss Democrats’ growing fears in Pennsylvania, Big Tech’s newfound support for nuclear energy, and Kamala Harris’s mixed messaging after the killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar.

First, they dive into a Politico story about Democratic unease in Pennsylvania. Longtime Democratic operatives are anonymously criticizing the Harris campaign’s efforts in the state. They also note how Sen. Bob Casey is airing ads highlighting the rare occasions he sided with Trump or against Biden. Greg also shares the increasingly desperate fundraising emails landing in his inbox as the election looms.

Next, they applaud Big Tech’s shift toward nuclear power, with companies like Google, Microsoft, and Amazon aggressively pursuing it to power data centers and other projects. Meanwhile, Jim slams the left for its irrational opposition to nuclear energy, which has stalled progress since the 1979 Three Mile Island incident and set back the nation’s energy potential for decades.

Then, they credit Kamala Harris for saying a lot of the right things in her response to the death of Hamas military leader Yahya Sinwar, but they cringe big time at her insistence that this should lead to the creation of a Palestinian state. Jim says the message that would send to the world would be devastating.

Finally, Jim and Greg celebrate 14 years of the 3 Martini Lunch podcast with a recap of Jim’s best quips from recent months and a flashback to their all-time favorite moment on the podcast.

Biden Unpopular in California, Photographers Embedded with Hamas, Michigan’s Green Energy Land Grab

November 9, 2023 by GregC

Listen to “Biden Unpopular in California, Photographers Embedded with Hamas, Michigan’s Green Energy Land Grab” on Spreaker.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour Host Scot Bertram is in for Jim. Today, Scot and Greg dissect a poll showing President Biden with a 52 disapproval rate in deep blue California. Republicans have virtually no chance to win the state but there is clearly widespread dissatisfaction in Biden’s performance.

They also recoil at the news Associated Press and Reuters photojournalists were embedded with Hamas during their ghastly slaughter of Israelis on October 7. Some of those photographers also freelanced with CNN and the New York Times. This raises so many questions about what the news organizations may have known ahead of time and how they dealt with learning their employees were there and possibly even participating.

Finally, they groan as Michigan leftists makes plans to set up solar and wind farms on 209,000 acres of the state and have stripped local leaders from being able to refuse these projects in their jurisdictions. And even that huge amount of land isn’t enough to meet the 100 percent renewable energy mandates set for 2040.

Dems’ 2024 Dilemma, Ceiling Fan Wars, Biden’s Media Enablers

August 28, 2023 by GregC

Listen to “Dems’ 2024 Dilemma, Ceiling Fan Wars, Biden’s Media Enablers” on Spreaker.

Ricochet Editor-in-Chief Jon Gabriel is in for Jim. Today, Jon and Greg examine new polls showing more than three-quarters of Americans and nearly 70 percent of Democrats think Joe Biden is too old to be president for another four years. So do the Dems roll the dice on Biden anyway and hope Trump is even less popular? Do they push Biden out ad gamble on Kamala Harris? Or do they find someone else entirely? They also groan as the Biden Energy Department demands changes to make ceiling fans more energy efficient. But the laughably minimal energy savings will be dwarfed by the $86.6 million per year that manufacturers will need to spend to comply with the new rules. Finally, they cringe as the Biden administration clearly plants a question with compliant reporter about COVID and both the reporter and Biden make the ruse painfully obvious. Finally, they remember Joe Wurzelbacher, better known as “Joe the Plumber,” whom the media went after with full venom because he dared to challenge Barack Obama about tax policies during the 2008 campaign.

Timestamps:

1:03 – Overwhelming majority of Americans think Biden is too old for another term.

8:58 – Biden administration’s war on ceiling fans

15:44 – Media’s pathetic enabling of Biden

19:04 – Remembering “Joe the Plumber” and the media’s horrific treatment of him.

Americans Reject EV Mandates, China’s Latest Aggression, CNN’s Identity Crisis

June 5, 2023 by GregC

Listen to “Americans Reject EV Mandates, China’s Latest Aggression, CNN’s Identity Crisis” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome a new survey showing American overwhelmingly opposed to phasing out gas-powered vehicles and fossil fuel-based energy, not to mention paying a lot more for their energy. They also groan as the Chinese take threatening action against a U.S. Navy destroyer in the Taiwan Strait and wonder if the Biden administration has a coherent strategy for dealing with the CCP. Finally, they react to the Tim Alberta’s profile of embattled CNN CEO and Chairman Chris Licht and why granting any journalist access to just about every part of your life is almost always a horrible idea.

New York’s Energy Madness, When Lawmakers Can’t Function, Politico’s Ugly Hypocrisy

May 19, 2023 by GregC

Listen to “New York’s Energy Madness, When Lawmakers Can’t Function, Politico’s Ugly Hypocrisy” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they break down three lousy martinis. First, they shake their heads as New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and state lawmakers order the closure of fossil fuel-based power plants in the state within seven years. That would take away nearly half of the state’s energy supply and even state officials aren’t sure how they will generate enough power to make up the difference. They also wince at the latest evidence that Sen. Dianne Feinstein is no longer able to serve as a senator, discuss the political implications of a resignation, and consider whether there is any good method for addressing these cases other than leaving the decision up to a lawmaker in obvious decline. Finally, they unload on Politico, not only for a nasty attack on Ron and Casey DeSantis, but for running with the accusation that Mrs. DeSantis is some sort of Lady MacBeth, just six months after Politico condemned the “Lady MacBeth trope” when it was used against Jill Biden and Giselle Fetterman.

GOP Debt Fight Leverage, SCOTUS Rebuffs Dems, Biden & Trump Decline Debates

May 3, 2023 by GregC

Listen to “GOP Debt Fight Leverage, SCOTUS Rebuffs Dems, Biden & Trump Decline Debates” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they serve up two good martinis and a crazy one. First, they find some optimism in the ongoing debt ceiling fight as Republicans find a few Democratic allies on issues ranging from energy permitting to fighting Biden’s student debt redistribution plan. Then they applaud the U.S. Supreme Court after all nine justice sign a letter rejecting Senate Democrats for demanding new recusal and ethics policies and strongly rejecting the notion of reduced funding for security for the justices. Finally, they react to both President Biden and President Trump not wanting to engage in presidential primary debates. They also call out CNN for routinely calling Trump the world’s greatest threat to democracy but now giving him a town hall event because they want the ratings and for Trump to be the GOP nominee .
