Join Jim and Greg on 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss the fragile Middle East ceasefire that could bring the hostages home, the petty response from Karine Jean-Pierre to President Trump’s role in the deal, and President Biden’s underwhelming farewell speech.
First, they express cautious optimism over the ceasefire deal, which they hope will bring home many of the remaining Israeli and American hostages. However, Jim remains realistic about the ongoing dangers, emphasizing that as long as hostilities are paused, Hamas will continue to manipulate the situation to their advantage.
Next, they highlight State Department Press Secretary Matthew Miller thanking the incoming Trump administration for its help in securing the ceasefire. When White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked about Miller’s comments, she downplayed his remarks and tried to redirect the credit solely to President Biden, calling Miller a “random person” in the process.
Finally, they groan over President Biden’s self-indulgent farewell speech that vastly overhyped his accomplishments, tried to settle some scores, and took aim at billionaire “oligarchs,” the same people he had no problems with until a couple of them stopped supporting him.
