Dems Fail Female Athletes Again, Trump’s Ukraine Stumbles, Cuomo Launches Comeback

by

Listen to “Dems Fail Female Athletes Again, Trump’s Ukraine Stumbles, Cuomo Launches Comeback” on Spreaker.

Former Chief Assistant U.S. Attorney and National Review Contributing Editor Andy McCarthy joins Greg for today’s 3 Martini Lunch. They break down Senate Democrats blocking a ban on males in women’s sports, Andy’s argument that Trump is most to blame for the Oval Office confrontation with Zelensky, and Andrew Cuomo’s political comeback as he runs for mayor of New York City.

First, they highlight how every Senate Democrat voted against legislation barring men from competing in women’s sports, preventing the bill from advancing. They explain why Democrats refuse to change course, even as they keep handing Republicans a potent campaign issue.

Next, Andy asserts that the biggest problem in Friday’s heated Oval Office exchange was Trump himself—allowing the photo-op to drag on, failing to grasp the Russian threat, and positioning himself as neutral between Russia and Ukraine. He also argues against the type of war resolution Trump appears to support.

Finally, they react as disgraced former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo officially launches his mayoral bid. While Cuomo correctly identifies many of New York City’s biggest issues, Andy reminds listeners that Cuomo’s own policies are largely responsible for the city’s decline.

Border Numbers Plunge, Oval Office Aftermath, Minimum Wage Madness

by

Listen to “Border Crossings Plunge, Oval Office Aftermath, Minimum Wage Madness” on Spreaker.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour Host Scot Bertram fills in for Jim on 3 Martini Lunch. Join Scot and Greg as they analyze the stunning border numbers from February, the fiery Trump-Zelensky-Vance exchange in the Oval Office, and yet another example of how an excessively high minimum wage backfires on businesses and employees.

First, they break down the incredible news that just 8,326 people attempted to illegally cross the southern border in all of February—far below the daily figures often seen under the Biden administration. They explain how the shift in border policy sent a clear message to would-be

Next, they dissect Friday’s tense Oval Office exchange between President Trump, Vice President Vance, and Ukrainian President Zelensky. While major issues remain before a meaningful resolution to the Russia-Ukraine war can take shape, Scot argues that Friday’s visit was primarily about finalizing the minerals deal as a stepping stone toward a broader agreement—something Zelensky mishandled. Greg outlines the key disagreements between the two sides but suggests the incident doesn’t have to derail U.S.-Ukraine relations. Meanwhile, Jim Geraghty, writing from overseas, strongly disagrees.

Finally, they discuss a new study confirming that California’s $20 minimum wage for fast-food workers has led to job losses, higher prices, and increased automation. It’s a predictable outcome that progressives continue to ignore despite clear economic realities.

Trump Targets the Cartels, Trump vs. Zelensky, Congestion Toll Clash & Cuomo’s Return

by

Listen to “Trump Targets the Cartels, Trump vs. Zelensky, Congestion Toll Clash & Cuomo’s Return” on Spreaker.

Inez Stepman of the Independent Women’s Forum fills in for Jim today. Join Inez and Greg for 3 Martini Lunch as they analyze the U.S. decision to designate cartels and gangs as terrorist organizations, President Trump’s sharp criticism of Ukrainian President Zelensky, and the latest developments on congestion tolls in New York City, where Andrew Cuomo’s political ambitions are taking shape.

First, they commend the State Department for labeling MS-13, Tren de Aragua, and several cartels as terrorist organizations. They discuss why this designation matters, the impact it may have, and how it aligns with Trump’s national security strategy.

Next, they break down President Trump’s strong criticism of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. They examine where Trump’s rhetoric diverges from the facts and how how Trump most likely believes this statement will help bring the war to an end. And while Trump and others have suggested possible Ukrainian concessions to reach a deal, Greg and Inez also consider what demands should be placed on Russia.

Finally, they dive into two major news items in New York City, where Inez resides. They assess the battle between the Trump administration and Gov. Kathy Hochul over congestion tolls. Plus, they react to reports that former Gov. Andrew Cuomo is likely to announce his run for mayor before the month ends.

Dems Still Stuck, Biden’s Gaffes & Gaslighting, RNC’s Regrettable Guest Speaker

by

Listen to “Dems Still Stuck, Biden’s Gaffes & Gaslighting, RNC’s Regrettable Guest Speaker” on Spreaker.

Today, Jim and Greg discuss President Biden’s press conference last night and how Democrats are still twisting in the wind. They also highlight Biden’s embarrassing verbal fumbles. And they weigh in on the news that former stripper and Kanye West girlfriend Amber Rose will speak at the Republican National Convention.

They begin with an overview of the press conference. Jim notes that while it was not bad by Biden standards, that still does not make it remotely good.

Next, they highlight some of Biden’s worst gaffes from the conference, including referring to President Zelensky as President Putin and to VP Kamala Harris as “Vice President Trump.” Greg notes Biden’s horribly revionist view of the economy and his ongoing demonization if Israel. Jim says Dems should be shuddering over Biden’s statement that he would refuse to step down even if the polls hypothetically showed that Kamala Harris was more likely to beat Trump than him.

Finally, they lament the Republican National Convention’s unfortunate speaker choice of Amber Rose, an ex-stripper who dated Kanye West and has several other tawdry items on her resume. Jim wonders whose idea it was to pick Rose, observing that this decision makes the RNC seem desperate for anyone remotely famous.

Abortion & Free Speech, Lockdowns & Job Skills, Gov. Christie & Bon Jovi

by

Listen to “Abortion & Free Speech, Lockdowns & Job Skills, Gov. Christie & Bon Jovi” on Spreaker.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour Host Scot Bertram is in for Jim. Today, Scot and Greg are relieved to see a judge strike down an Illinois law calling for the prosecution of pregnancy centers if they deceive or give out “misinformation” to women contemplating abortion. And the law never explains what qualifies as “misinformation.” They also shudder at a Wall Street Journal story highlighting how pandemic learning loss contributed to an erosion of very basic skills. So employers are now teaching young employees how to make change and how to look customers in the eye. Finally, they roll their eyes as Chris Christie bestows Ukrainian President Zelensky Jon Bon Jovi’s handwritten lyrics to “It’s My Life.”

Timestamps:

1:00 – Scot’s “pro-tip” about what not to do if you mow over a hornet’s nest.

2:12 – Federal judge blocks an Illinois law that would prosecute pregnancy centers for presenting “misinformation” to women considering abortion.

The GOP vs. Sen. Brown, Young Voters vs. Basic Freedoms, Trump’s Ukraine Plan

by

Listen to “The GOP vs. Sen. Brown, Young Voters vs. Basic Freedoms, Trump’s Ukraine Plan” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they examine the Ohio U.S. Senate race now that the GOP field has three prominent candidates fighting to take on three-term Democrat Sherrod Brown. Is Brown beatable now that Ohio is trending more to the right and what or who will it take to beat him? They also cringe at two polls showing far too many young people are willing to surrender critical constitutional freedoms. According to the data, 44 percent of of American voters aged 25-34 think “misgendering” someone should be a criminal offense. And three in ten voters under the age of 30 think there should be government surveillance camera in all of our homes to help reduce abuse and domestic violence. Finally, they react to former President Trump explaining his plan to end the Russia-Ukraine war within 24 hours.
Timestamps:
0:23 – Can the GOP defeat Sen. Brown in Ohio and is there a candidate who can do it?
6:47 – New polls showing a plurality of millennial voters are fine with criminal penalties for “misgendering” people, and three in ten voters under age 30 are OK with government surveillance cameras in our homes.
14:07 – President Trump’s explanation of how he could end the Russia-Ukraine war in one day.

The Ukraine Divide, GOP Embraces Earmarks, RNC Fight Intensifies

by

Listen to “The Ukraine Divide, GOP Embraces Earmarks, RNC Fight Intensifies” on Spreaker.

Jim and Greg wade into the sharp debate on the right over how to approach Ukraine, Zelensky, and their war against Russia. Their biggest frustration is the accusations being lobbed from both sides at anyone who shows the slightest bit of nuance on the issue. They also hammer Republicans for going along with tons of earmarks in the new omnibus bill – wasting countless more taxpayer dollars on frivolous projects. And they react to the Florida GOP pushing for the ouster of Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna Romney McDaniel and wonder why so many RNC committee members are so loyal to a leader with a pretty dismal electoral record.

Zawahiri & ‘The Flying Ginsu,’ U.S. Tensions with Ukraine, Trump Endorses ‘ERIC’

by

Listen to “Zawahiri & ‘The Flying Ginsu,’ U.S. Tensions with Ukraine, Trump Endorses ‘ERIC'” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they cheer the CIA drone killing of Al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri in Afghanistan and recount the horrors he helped to inflict over the years. But they also wonder just how much Al Qaeda has reconstituted in Afghanistan. They also note the signs of a fraying relationship between the U.S. and Ukraine and whether the Biden administration is looking to end the war while Zelensky refuses. And they shake their heads as Trump endorses “ERIC” in the Missouri Senate race, since Eric Greitens is a scandal-ridden cancer on the GOP who could easily lose the general election and Eric Schmitt is a strong conservative who would win easily in November.
