NYT’s Unobscured Trump Attack, Trump Wants to Reopen Alcatraz, The Obamas’ Endless Whining

May 5, 2025 by GregC

Listen to “NYT’s Unobscured Trump Attack, Trump Wants to Reopen Alcatraz, The Obamas’ Endless Whining” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg for Tuesday’s 3 Martini Lunch as they dig into the New York Times’ latest attempt to undermine President Trump and congressional Republicans, Trump’s push to reopen Alcatraz as a federal prison, and Michelle Obama’s newest, tiresome complaints about life in the White House.

First, they tear into the New York Times for framing the Congressional Review Act (CRA) as an “obscure” tool possibly being misused by Republicans to undo Biden-era regulations. The article warns readers that opponents can’t filibuster CRA rollbacks—something the left suddenly finds troubling now that Republicans control Congress. Jim dismantles the Times’ arguments, defends Trump’s use of the CRA, and calls out the media’s hypocritical coverage of these tactics.

Next, they react to President Trump’s call to reopen Alcatraz as a prison for the nation’s most dangerous criminals. He also hints at sending criminal illegals there, blaming judges “that are afraid to do their job and allow us to remove criminals.” Jim and Greg aren’t sure that specifically rebuilding Alcatraz is the answer, but they do like the like of sending our worst criminals top laces that will be remote and will become synonymous with a thoroughly miserable experience for the inmates. And some of their ideas for how to do this are out of this world.

Finally, they roll their eyes at Michelle Obama’s latest White House grievances—this time about paying for their own private meals and also travel for their children when the president wasn’t with them. Jim and Greg are tired of how the Obamas continue to portray themselves as victims while enjoying elite status—but are enjoy seeing how their political influence continues to fade within the Democratic Party.

McConnell Won’t Run Again, More Hamas Horrors, DOGE Cuts & ‘Malicious Compliance’

February 21, 2025 by GregC

Listen to “McConnell Won’t Run Again, More Hamas Horrors, DOGE Cuts & ‘Malicious Compliance'” on Spreaker.

Inez Stepman of the Independent Women’s Forum fills in for Jim on the 3 Martini Lunch podcast. Join Inez and Greg as they discuss Sen. Mitch McConnell announcing he won’t run again, the latest unspeakable atrocities committed by Hamas, and how federal agencies are making DOGE-related budget cuts painful for the public.

First, they analyze Mitch McConnell’s decision to retire after 42 years in the Senate and 18 years as GOP leader, and they assess his performance. They credit McConnell for defending free speech, blocking left-wing policies, and confirming conservative judicial nominees. However, they criticize his failure to address federal spending and his lack of progress on conservative priorities during Republican control of the Senate.

Next, Inez and Greg express their outrage over the latest atrocities perpetrated by Hamas, including a gruesome ceremony involving the return of hostages’ remains and reports detailing how the two young brothers who were brutally murdered. In addition,  the remains of their mother, Shiri Bibas, were excluded from the return to Israel. With Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowing reprisals, Inez and Greg reflect on the critical details of the Bibas family’s abduction and the role of the Red Cross in facilitating the spectacle we saw this week.

Inez and Greg discuss government-run sites making DOGE-related budget cuts as painful as possible for visitors. They highlight three instances of “malicious compliance” and recall past government shutdown tactics used by Democrats to needlessly inconvenience the public.

Bragg Backs off Trump Sentencing, The Courts & Deportations, GOP Senators AWOL on Key Votes

November 20, 2024 by GregC

Listen to “Bragg Backs off Trump Sentencing, The Courts & Deportations, GOP Senators AWOL on Key Votes” on Spreaker.

Former Chief Assistant U.S. Attorney and National Review Contributing Editor Andy McCarthy steps in for Jim Geraghty on today’s 3 Martini Lunch. Andy and Greg dive into Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s request to delay sentencing Donald Trump for four years, whether the courts will  side with Trump on deportations, and the damaging impact of Republican senators missing votes on Biden judicial nominees.

They begin by discussing Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg asking for a four-year delay in sentencing Donald Trump until after Trump leaves the White House in 2029. Andy explains Trump is already appealing the verdict over immunity arguments and why both Trump and Bragg have good reasons to want the extended pause.

Next, they examine whether federal courts will support Trump’s mass deportation plans. Andy explores the broad authority of the federal government over immigration and the limitations of what state and local officials can do about it. But after the federal courts upheld Biden’s authority in the midst of his utter utter failure border security, will Trump get the same reacton when he tries to execute a very different set of policies?

Finally, Andy and Greg share their frustration over several Republican senators missing key votes, enabling controversial Biden judicial nominees to secure lifetime appointments. While senators like JD Vance and Marco Rubio were tied up with responsibilities for the incoming administration, their absences allowed far-left nominees to reshape the judiciary for decades.

Heads Roll at Hezbollah, Biden’s Border Brings Brutal Criminals, RFK Jr.’s Ballot Wars

September 30, 2024 by GregC

Listen to “Heads Roll at Hezbollah, Biden’s Border Brings Brutal Criminals, RFK Jr.’s Ballot Wars” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they dive into Israel’s swift elimination of Hezbollah’s leadership, the alarming number of convicted criminals allowed into the U.S., and the calculated ballot strategies of both RFK Jr. and left-leaning judges.

First, they celebrate Israel’s rapid dismantling of Hezbollah’s command, including the killing of Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah, infamous for his role in the 1983 U.S. Marine barracks bombing in Beirut, among many other atrocities. Israel also swiftly eliminated his successor within hours, showcasing a master class in intelligence work and military precision.

Next, they blast the Biden administration after new ICE data reveals that more than 662,000 people processed into the U.S. are either convicted criminals or have criminal charges pending against them. This includes more than 13,000 convicted murderers, nearly 16,000 convicted sexual offenders, and a total of 422,000 convicted criminals now residing in the country and more than 220,000 others possibly guilty as well.

Finally, they follow the obvious political strategy of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and left-leaning judges over Kennedy’s ballot access in several states. As Kennedy tries to stay on the ballot in deep blue states and get off the ballot in battleground states, left-leaning judges are ruling exactly the opposite. So much for the sacred preservation of democracy.

Real World Consequences for Columbia, The Bogus Hamas Ceasefire, Dems & Race

May 7, 2024 by GregC

Listen to “Real World Consequences for Columbia, The Bogus Hamas Ceasefire, Dems & Race” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg, who actually have a good martini today, along with an absurdly bad one, and some crazy double standards for Democrats.

First, they welcome thirteen federal judges warning Columbia University that they will no longer accept the school’s students as law clerks after the trespassing protests that commandeered a building and university leaders allowed it all to happen. They do want to make sure that students who didn’t break the law don’t get punished for the crimes of others, but it is a warning to Columbia that if it wants to be taken seriously, the worst elements on campus cannot be calling the shots.

Next, they roll their eyes as Hamas agrees to a Middle East ceasefire that had never been on the table. Jim labels the plan an unacceptable counterproposal and explains why. He also blasts much of the mainstream media for proclaiming that Hamas had agreed to the deal and putting the pressure on Israel to consent to it.

Finally, they note racial rhetoric from two Democrats that got some pushback but would have likely meant the end of any Republican’s political career. The latest comes from New York Gov. Kathy Hochul who claimed that kids on the Bronx don’t even know the word “computer.” They also note Maryland Rep. David Trone, who is also running for U.S. Senate, using a racial slur during a committee hearing back in March. Trone says he uttered the wrong word, and it’s likely that he did, but we all know the political volcano that would have ensued if a GOP lawmaker had said it.

Mitch Won’t Rescue Dems, Fox News’ Costly Settlement, What’s an Assault Weapon?

April 19, 2023 by GregC

Listen to “Mitch Won’t Rescue Dems, Fox News’ Costly Settlement, What’s an Assault Weapon?” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they appreciate Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell refusing to allow Democrats to replace Sen. Dianne Feinstein on the Judiciary Committee just so some of the most radical and unqualified Biden nominees can get confirmed. But they disagree on whether it’s better for the country for Feinstein to resign or for her to stay in office but have to be away from Washington. They also react to the mammoth $787 million settlement that Fox News has agreed to pay Dominion Voting Systems to end its defamation lawsuit related to coverage of the 2020 election results. Finally, they shake their heads as ATF Director Steve Dettelbach refuses to define what an “assault weapon” is during congressional testimony.

Bud Light’s Bad Bet, Teen ID’s Intel Leaker, Dems Fight Over Feinstein

April 13, 2023 by GregC

Listen to “Bud Light’s Bad Bet, Teen ID’s Intel Leaker, Dems Fight Over Feinstein” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they break down how Bud Light and Anheuser-Busch miscalculated so spectacularly by making transgender Dylan Mulvaney the face of a new marketing campaign and they remark on how thoroughly the left now dominates the policies and actions of corporate America. They also shake their heads as perhaps the most significant intelligence leak in a decade was solved by a teenager, who got permission from his mom to reveal the truth. Finally, they react to Democrats pushing California Sen. Dianne Feinstein to resign, mainly because they’re one vote short on the Judiciary Committee while she recuperates from a bout with the shingles.

Mitch Keeps Working, Insane Georgia Dems, Another Police Defunding Failure

December 15, 2020 by GregC

Listen to “Mitch Keeps Working, Insane Georgia Dems, Another Police Defunding Failure” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they applaud Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell for cranking out as many judicial confirmations as possible before the end of the session. They also discuss the truly crazy comments of Georgia Senate hopefuls Rev. Warnock comparing the GOP tax cuts to Herod’s slaughter of babies in Bethlehem and Jon Ossoff being clueless on the job of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. And they shake their heads as officials in Austin, Texas, finally realize that shutting down and defunding the police cadet academy was probably a bad idea.

Mitch Gets Back to Business, Media Suddenly Love Mitt, Iowa’s Still Not Done

February 6, 2020 by GregC

Listen to “Mitch Gets Back to Business, Media Suddenly Love Mitt, Iowa’s Still Not Done” on Spreaker.

Another wild day in a very busy week! So grab a stool and join Jim and Greg as they break down the latest headlines. First, they get a kick out of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell immediately following up the impeachment trial by filing cloture on five more judicial nominees. They also feel like wretching as mainstream media figures who savaged Mitt Romney during the 2012 campaign suddenly extol him as a man of faith and principle because he voted the way they wanted him to. But they also spend time highlighting figures on the right who were way over the top in their condemnation of Romney. And they try to make sense out of the latest scraps of conflicting information coming from Democrats in Iowa while also looking ahead to New Hampshire.
