Join us for a busy news day on the Three Martini Lunch. Today, Jim and Greg discuss Iran’s missile strike injuring no one in Iraq, leading President Trump to announce new sanctions but no new military action. They also discuss whether the Ukrainian airliner crash in Iran was a coincidence or something more sinister. In addition, they’re glad to see Covington Catholic High School student Nick Sandmann receiving a settlement from CNN after the network attacked over his encounter with an American Indian near the Lincoln Memorial last year – all because Sandmann was wearing a MAGA hat. And they try not to lose their breakfast as MSNBC not only carries the Soleimani funeral live but fawns all over the legacy of a man known for killing hundreds of American service members and slaughtering innocents at home and abroad.

Cops Give Mayor Cold Shoulder
New York cops made a statement Tuesday during the funeral of slain police officer Miosotis Familia. According to Hot Air.com, hundreds of police officers protested New York City mayor Bill de Blasio by turning their backs on him during his speech at the funeral. Familia was brutally gunned down in her patrol car last week by a mentally ill criminal. Her fellow officers are angry with de Blasio after he traveled to Germany one day after the tragedy to protest President Trump, a trip paid for with taxpayer money. The protest was meant to highlight how the mayor missed both an NYPD swearing-in and a vigil held for Familia due to his trip. ~Sarah Schutte
