Gov. Newsom’s LA Riot Money Trail, Is Iran Conflict Imminent, Mayor Bass Floundering Again

June 12, 2025 by GregC

Listen to “Gov. Newsom’s LA Riot Money Trail, Is Iran Conflict Imminent, Mayor Bass Floundering Again” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg for Thursday’s 3 Martini Lunch as they break down the money trail that might explain Gov. Newsom’s reluctance to confront the LA rioters, whether the evacuation of some U.S. personnel and their families means we’re on the brink of major conflict in the Middle East, and the staggering incompetence of Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass.

First, they dig into reports suggesting California Gov. Gavin Newsom was uninterested in maintaining order during the recent LA riots because the group sponsoring the protest, the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights, contributed nearly half a million dollars and a lot of manpower to help him survive the 2021 recall.

Next, they wonder how to interpret the State Department’s decision to remove some U.S. personnel and their dependents from Iraq, Kuwait, and Bahrain. Are we on the brink of conflict over Iran’s nuclear program or is this simply a move to pressure Iran to accept the U.S. nuclear deal?

Finally, they head back to Los Angeles as Mayor Karen Bass continues to ooze incompetence. And she is still blaming the rioting, the looting, and the property destruction on President Trump and his followers. Jim explains how Bass has now badly failed two big tests over the past six months and reminds us that Bass was on Joe Biden’s short list for a running mate in 2020.

Massive Immigrant Shift to GOP, Organized Chaos in LA, Hawley’s Wage Hike Plan

June 10, 2025 by GregC

Listen to “Massive Immigrant Shift to GOP, Organized Chaos in LA, Hawley’s Wage Hike Plan” on Spreaker.

Inez Stepman of the Independent Women’s Forum fills in for Jim today on 3 Martini Lunch. Join Inez and Greg as they review a CNN poll showing immigrant voters shifting significantly to the GOP, address the clear organization present in the LA riots, and ponder the effects of Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley’s call for a minimum wage hike.

First, Inez and Greg analyze new CNN polling that shows a dramatic 40-point swing toward Republican immigration policies among legal immigrant voters over the past four years. Inez adamantly presents the recent situation with the LA riots as a prime example of why people do not trust leftist immigration policy.

Next, they examine the LA riots as a return to coordinated, violent left-wing activism. Inez also explains the distorted logic behind the rioters waving Mexican flags. And they marvel at how many people on the left and beyond openly admit they don’t want federal immigration laws enforced.

Finally, they unpack Sen. Josh Hawley’s proposal to raise the federal minimum wage to $15 per hour through his “Higher Wages for American Workers Act.” Greg argues the plan ignores basic economic principles, while Inez notes many employers already offer similar wages. She says the real danger lies in Hawley’s support for the PRO Act, which could reduce flexibility for freelancers and remote workers.

Fire & ICE in LA, Media Calls Riots Fun & Flames, Gillibrand’s Midterm Misdirection

June 9, 2025 by GregC

Listen to “Fire & ICE in LA, Media Calls Riots Fun & Flames, Gillibrand’s Midterm Misdirection” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg for this Monday edition of the 3 Martini Lunch where they discuss the riots in Los Angeles, the media’s spin on the riots as well as President Trump ordering the National Guard to help, and New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand’s hypocritical new plan for putting Democrats back in the majority.

First, they are aghast at the general unrest in Los Angeles as ICE agents seek to round up criminal illegal immigrants. Although being just an eight-minute walk from the LAPD, it took two hours for police to respond to the attacks on the Roybal Federal Building. California Gov. Gavin Newsom, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, and former VP Kamala Harris all claim overreach by President Trump for sending in the National Guard, but Jim and Greg note how the LAPD initially seemed disinterested in ending the violence. Now the LAPD itself is claiming to be overwhelmed.

Next, Jim and Greg disdain the comical media coverage of the ‘mostly peaceful’ LA riots. Local and federal sources say people are merely enjoying themselves as they watch fires burn, yet Jim has yet to see them enjoying chocolate and marshmallows around the burning cars. For some reason, Democrats are so afraid of appearing to be Trump supporters that they cannot stand by simple expectations of peace, law, and order.

Last, they scoff at Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand’s plans to bring Democrats back to power by urging moderate Senate candidates in 2026. She’s a strange person to deliver that message after her history of pretending to be a moderate in the House and then immediately becoming a far left U.S. Senator. Jim blithely recalls Gillibrand’s pitiful and long forgotten attempt at running for president in 2020.

Left’s Musk Meltdown, Biden’s Gas Price Lie, Bennet’s Vindication

October 28, 2022 by GregC

Listen to “Left’s Musk Meltdown, Biden’s Gas Price Lie, Bennet’s Vindication” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they pop the popcorn and enjoy the left melting down on Twitter over the news that Elon Musk is officially running Twitter now. They also call out President Biden for the bald-faced lie that gas prices were above five dollars per gallon when he took office. And they give credit to the Washington Post for saying James Bennet was right in his standoff with the editorial department mob at the New York Times over an op-ed by Sen. Tom Cotton back in 2020.

Can Becerra Be Defeated? Cuomo’s Weak Apology, FBI & the Capitol Riots

March 4, 2021 by GregC

Listen to “Can Becerra Be Defeated? Cuomo’s Weak Apology, FBI & the Capitol Riots” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they cheer on conservative activists trying to sink the nomination of the unqualified and radical HHS nominee, Xavier Becerra. They also roll their eyes as New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo claims he had no idea his actions offended any of the women accusing him of sexual harassment, and are disgusted that the media considers this a bigger story than the nursing home scandal. And they react to the revelation that the FBI gave Capitol Police had a fairly detailed warning of what would happen at the Capitol on January 6 but also told them not to take any actions as a result of it.

Can We Deal with Antifa Now? Biden Rejoins WHO, MSNBC Attacks Free Speech

January 21, 2021 by GregC

Listen to “Can We Deal with Antifa Now? Biden Rejoins WHO, MSNBC Attacks Free Speech” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as as they discuss leftist riots in at least three American cities Thursday night. Will the Democrats finally admit this is a problem since these people claim to hate Biden too? They also sigh as President Biden not only rejoins the World Health Organization but does so without one demand for accountability or reform. And they react to MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace and former Obama official Ben Rhodes discussing how to “detox” speech they don’t like and even bar Republicans from stating opinions if they don’t accept the left’s version of the truth.

October 28, 2020 by GregC

Listen to “Battle for the Senate, Media’s Narrative Obsession, Newsom’s Thanksgiving Rules” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they applaud a new ad urging voters to keep the GOP in control of the Senate. They also hammer a New York Times writer for complaining that conservative outlets are giving too much attention to the multiple nights of vandalism, looting, and violence in Philadelphia. And they unload on California Gov. Gavin Newsom for his utterly insane COVID rules for Thanksgiving or any other gathering.

Biden’s Obvious Weakness, Breonna & Bodycams, Political Arson

September 24, 2020 by GregC

Listen to “Biden’s Obvious Weakness, Breonna & Bodycams, Political Arson” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they expose yet another day of Joe Biden not being able to appear in public the day after holding events, strongly suggesting he’s not up to the rigors of the campaign trail or the presidency. They also blast the violence perpetrated in Louisville and other cities in the wake of no police officers being charged for murder in the Breonna Taylor case. They also find it unacceptable that there is no bodycam evidence of the entry into the apartment or of the shooting. And they react to the case of arson at the Minnesota home of  a Trump supporter and the graffiti left behind noting support for Biden, BLM, and more.

Defunding Rioters, Biden Blames Trump, Wheeler’s Weakness

August 31, 2020 by GregC

Listen to “Defunding Rioters, Biden Blames Trump, Wheeler’s Weakness” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they focus on the mayhem continuing in the streets of American cities.  They’re very bullish on the idea of Indiana Rep. Jim Banks to end unemployment benefits for anyone convicted of committing a federal offense at a protest. They also scratch their heads as Joe Biden and other Democrats condemn President Trump for wanting to use federal power to stop the rioting while also trying to blame Trump for the destruction in the first place. And they examine the pathetic case of Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler, who grovels to the radicals more and more as they treat him worse and worse.

Dems & Rioting, Trump’s Convention Speech, Fighting for Reagan

August 28, 2020 by GregC

Listen to “Dems & Rioting, Trump’s Convention Speech, Fighting for Reagan” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg for your Friday martinis! After another week of violence in the streets, Democrats are finally starting to pay attention to the issue after failing to mention it at all at their convention.  Would stronger statements from Biden be credible and would they get the chaos to stop? They also discuss President Trump’s convention speech and why the length and delivery made it less effective. And while certainly not gamers, they get a kick out of the chance to conduct a clandestine operation on orders from President Reagan – which is part of the latest “Call of Duty.”
