Trump’s New Tariffs, FBI Helped Bury Biden Laptop Story, Hakeem Jeffries’ Lousy Leadership

by

Listen to “Trump’s New Tariffs, FBI Helped Bury Biden Laptop Story, Hakeem Jeffries’ Lousy Leadership” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg for 3 Martini Lunch as they analyze President Trump’s latest tariffs, the FBI’s complicity in silencing on the Hunter Biden laptop, and the underwhelming leadership of House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries.

First, they break down Trump’s sweeping new tariffs on most nations and imported automobiles, explaining the economic arguments for and against them and what the impact could be, depending upon how other nations respond. Jim also exposes how tariffs are being applied to places with no human inhabitants or economic relevance. Plus, they explain why anyone who grew up in the 1980s should understand this issue.

Next, they examine newly revealed internal FBI chats proving the agency knew in mid-October 2020 that the Hunter Biden laptop was real and under criminal investigation—yet remained silent while Democrats and the media buried the story.

Finally, while it’s good for the GOP, they wonder why House Democrats continue backing Hakeem Jeffries as their leader. His speaking style lacks impact, and he repeatedly pushes unpopular positions—most recently daring Republicans to vote on the SAVE Act, which mandates photo ID and proof of citizenship to vote.

Press Pool Shake-Up, The Political Price for Trump’s Tariffs, Tapper’s Biden Book Hypocrisy

by

Listen to “Press Pool Shake-Up, The Political Price for Trump's Tariffs, Tapper's Biden Book Hypocrisy” on Spreaker.

Former Chief Assistant U.S. Attorney and National Review Contributing Editor Andy McCarthy joins Greg on today’s 3 Martini Lunch in place of Jim. They discuss the White House taking control over press pool selections, Trump’s tariffs jeopardizing a major political and economic opportunity with Canada, and CNN’s Jake Tapper writing a book about the cover-up of Joe Biden’s decline—after helping cover it up himself.

First, Andy and Greg analyze the White House’s new policy on press pool access for the Oval Office and Air Force One. While Andy thinks the White House wording on the policy shift is over the top, he says the the Trump press team has largely made a point of adding new voices rather than silencing others.

Next, they critique Trump’s plan to impose 25 percent tariffs on Canada and Mexico starting in March. Beyond the likelihood of higher prices for Americans, they highlight how these tensions have weakened Canada’s conservative party, which once seemed poised for a massive victory but is now struggling. While Trump shouldn’t prioritize Canadian politics, a conservative government there would align far better with his policies than Justin Trudeau’s far-left successor.

Finally, they call out the stunning hypocrisy of CNN’s Jake Tapper. After downplaying and denying Biden’s cognitive decline for years, Tapper is now co-authoring a book exposing Biden’s decline and the efforts to conceal it. Andy and Greg document how Biden’s decline was blatantly obvious for anyone honestly paying attention.

2024 Martini Awards Finale: Person of the Year, Loser of the Year, Turncoat of the Year

by

Listen to “2024 Martini Awards Finale: Person of the Year, Loser of the Year, Turncoat of the Year” on Spreaker.

Jim and Greg close out 2024 with the finale of this year’s 3 Martini Lunch Awards. Today, they give out their prestigious choices for Person of the Year, Loser of the Year, and Turncoat of the Year.

On Person of the Year, they both choose Donald Trump. Jim says the choice is so obvious that he spends his time focusing on the astounding year that his runner-up (and a close Trump ally) had in 2024. Meanwhile, Greg chronicles the staggering comeback Trump has achieved over the past year and really the past four years.

For Loser of the Year, Jim chooses the man whose stock plummeted the most in the past 12 months and he says there is a runaway winner. Meanwhile, Greg picks a group of people whose awkward efforts to engineer the outcome of the 2024 campaign imploded in spectacular fashion.

For Turncoat of the Year, Jim chooses a figure who used to align with the left and not only flipped to supporting the Trump-Vance ticket but embodies a demographic that supported Trump in huge numbers this year. Greg offers a whole list of conservatives who actually endorsed and even campaigned for Kamala Harris. But he has another choice that may be our favorite turncoat ever.

America Hates Hunter’s Pardon, Schiff’s Staggering Hypocrisy, What’s in the New Jersey Sky?

by

Listen to “America Hates Hunter’s Pardon, Schiff’s Staggering Hypocrisy, What’s in the New Jersey Sky?” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they tackle Americans’ overwhelming rejection of President Biden pardoning his son, Sen. Adam Schiff’s sudden shift on political prosecutions, and a mysterious phenomenon in the New Jersey sky.

They kick off with an AP poll revealing just 22% of Americans support a Hunter Biden pardon. Opposition is strong across party lines, with independents and even many Democrats hesitant to back the move.

Next, they call out new California Sen. Adam Schiff, a former House Intelligence Committee chairman, for decrying presidential prosecutions in a democracy, despite his past vocal support for pursuing Trump over alleged Russia collusion. Jim also says Schiff has yet to pay any significant price for grossly misleading the American people during the Russia probe.

Finally, they delve into the strange sightings in the New Jersey sky. With drones or drone-like objects puzzling locals, the FBI and military both say they don’t know what’s happening. As a New Jersey native, Jim offers both serious and lighthearted theories on the mystery.

Judge Blasts Biden Pardon, Hegseth Under Fire, Cuomo Eyeing NYC Mayor’s Race?

by

Listen to “Judge Blasts Biden Pardon, Hegseth Under Fire, Cuomo Eyeing NYC Mayor’s Race?” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg on 3 Martini Lunch as they tackle what Jim calls “the naughty list.” Today’s episode covers a federal judge’s critique of Biden’s Hunter pardon, controversies surrounding Trump’s Pentagon pick, and Andrew Cuomo’s rumored political comeback in New York City.

They begin by spotlighting Federal Judge Mark Scarsi’s scathing assessment of President Biden’s justification for pardoning Hunter Biden. Scarsi accuses Biden of misrepresenting key facts, undermining his own appointees by alleging political persecution, and potentially issuing an unconstitutional pardon.

Next, they dive into new allegations against Pete Hegseth, Trump’s pick for Secretary of Defense, involving claims of misconduct during his time at Fox News and his leadership at Concerned Veterans for America. Hegseth’s defenders point out that all of the new allegations are based on anonymous sources and his former colleagues are eagerly going on the record to defend him. The Wall Street Journal also reports that the Trump team may be preparing to move on to a new nominee and is even floating some possible alternatives.

Lastly, Jim previews his Washington Post column aimed at derailing Andrew Cuomo’s rumored run for New York City mayor. They detail Cuomo’s extensive history of scandals, arguing why he should never return to public office.

Biden Pardon Fallout: Dems in Disarray, Media Mockery, More White House Lies

by

Listen to “Biden Pardon Fallout: Dems in Disarray, Media Mockery, More White House Lies” on Spreaker.

On Tuesday’s 3 Martini Lunch, Jim and Greg dissect the fallout from President Biden’s sweeping pardon of Hunter Biden, highlighting Democratic efforts to reshape the narrative, late-night comedy jabs, and the ongoing deception from Biden’s allies.

First, they credit Brianna Keilar of CNN for grilling outspoken New York Rep. Dan Goldman over his previous claim that Biden respected the justice system too much to pardon his son. When Goldman attempts to misrepresent the facts, Keilar doesn’t let him off the hook.

They also delve into Jon Stewart’s sharp critique of the Bidens and the Democrats, spotlighting their blatant hypocrisy. Stewart also points out that the pardon extends well beyond the issues Hunter Biden faced in court. Jim and Greg argue the timing of left-wing entertainers targeting the Bidens is more strategic than principled.

Lastly, Jim and Greg discuss White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre’s insistence that Biden didn’t lie about his stance on a pardon, despite evidence to the contrary. They also criticize her for singling out a National Review reporter who highlighted an NBC report exposing Biden’s long-considered plan to pardon his son.

Hunter Biden Pleads Guilty, Charging School Shooters’ Parents, GOP Senate Outlook

by

Listen to “Hunter Biden Pleads Guilty, Charging School Shooters’ Parents, GOP Senate Outlook” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg for three complicated martinis to close out the week. They discuss Hunter Biden deciding to plead guilty to federal tax charges, whether parents of school shooters ought to face criminal charges, and the forecast for this years U.S. Senate elections.
First, they focus on Hunter Biden abandoning his plan to go to trial and a subsequent plan to plead guilty without admitting guilt on federal tax charges. Now that he’s simply pleading guilty, what does that mean for sentencing, the chances his father pardons him and more? Jim says it’s all further proof of one thing – that the critics of Hunter Biden were right and Joe Biden and a lot of other Democrats and media apologists were wrong or flat out lying.
Second, they examine this week’s horrific, deadly school shooting at a Georgia high school and mull over whether officials are right to charge the shooter’s father with two counts of second degree murder and four counts of involuntary manslaughter for failing to keep guns away from his 14-year-old son who had already been evaluated as a possible threat. Are charges like this a good way to keep parents more vigilant and accountable for their kids’ actions and for their own actions or does criminal blame belong solely with the killer?
Finally, they examine the U.S. Senate map this year. And while odds look favorable for Republicans to reclaim a slim majority, there are several other seats held by Democrats which should be vulnerable. But so far the GOP challengers are consistently trailing.
