    President Trump's Operation Epic Fury Decimates Iranian Government

    Join Jim and Greg for the Monday edition of the 3 Martini Lunch as they marvel at the accomplishments of Operation Epic Fury in Iran, discuss the Iranian military’s retaliatory missile strikes across the Middle East, and wonder how we get Iran to become a stable country that's not always trying to kill us. First, they react to the stunning execution, complexity, and success of Operation Epic Fury. Dozens of senior Iranian leaders are reported dead, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and U.S. and Israeli forces appear to have established overwhelming aerial dominance as operations continue. Jim and Greg also push back on claims that the conflict was an unprovoked war. Next, they detail Iran’s military response, including missile attacks targeting multiple countries across the Middle East. At least four American service members were killed in the strikes. Jim notes that a weakened and desperate regime fighting for survival can still inflict serious damage. Finally, they try to get a handle on how the transition to a better, more responsible Iran is supposed to unfold. Does the U.S. have specific people in mind as transitional figures or long-term leaders or is expected to happen organically?  Please visit our great sponsors: Stop putting off those doctors’ appointments and visit https://Zocdoc.com/3ML to find and instantly book a top-rated doctor today.

    U.S. Embassy Staff Leave Israel & Iraq, Attack on Iran Imminent?

    Join Jim and Greg for the Friday edition of the 3 Martini Lunch as they examine whether U.S. military action against Iran is imminent, Virginia Democrats voting themselves a massive pay raise, and the Pentagon’s escalating dispute with AI company Anthropic over autonomous weapons systems. First, they react to the U.S. ordering embassy personnel out of Israel and Iraq, a move that has fueled speculation that military action against Iran could be just hours or days away. They discuss what such a strike might look like and what the potential endgame would be. Next, they sigh as Democrats in the Virginia legislature vote to nearly triple their pay in the next session. Jim says politicians raising their own pay is always a bad idea and he says the last thing we want are full-time state lawmakers. Finally, they break down the growing clash between the Pentagon and AI firm Anthropic over the future of artificial intelligence in warfare. Anthropic’s CEO claims the company cannot partner with the Defense Department due to concerns about autonomous weapons systems and mass domestic surveillance. Pentagon officials dispute that characterization, and Jim emphasizes the need for clear legal and constitutional guardrails as the U.S. races to develop advanced AI capabilities in competition with Communist China.

    JD Vance Defends DOJ Fraud Investigation in Sharp Rebuke to Critics

    Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour host Scot Bertram fills in for Jim on Thursday’s 3 Martini Lunch. Join Scot and Greg as they break down Vice President JD Vance’s forceful defense of the Trump administration’s fraud investigations, a Midwest mayor claiming Americans should be embarrassed to own guns, and how California Gov. Gavin Newsom's press team demeaned and dismissed a serious reporter with tiresome vulgarity. First, they applaud Vice President Vance for standing firm behind the Trump administration’s investigation into widespread government fraud, especially following revelations of massive fraud in Minnesota. Scot and Greg argue that fraud needs to be exposed rather than excused. Next, they highlight the radical comments on guns and dogs from Democrat Grand Rapids, Michigan, Mayor David LaGrand. The mayor says anyone who owns a gun should be ashamed. And he's also supportive of ending K-9 police units after a recent incident. It's not just the leftward lurch of a recently conservative part of the country. It reflects broader Democratic attitudes on gun rights, policing, and traditional American institutions Finally, they criticize Gavin Newsom communications aide Izzy Gardon for refusing to provide details about Gov. Newsom’s sudden admission of dyslexia and for responding to longtime reporter Susan Crabtree with vulgarity. Scot and Greg discuss what they see as significant disrespect for a well-established reporter and another chapter in the left's endless public profanity.

    Democrats Refuse to Prioritize Citizens over Illegal Immigrants

    Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they dissect President Trump making the Democrats look heartless and crazy in their refusal to applaud almost anything, Trump's reluctance to pursue an aggressive legislative agenda this year, Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger's forgettable rebuttal to Trump's speech, and the truly insane event Dems put on during the speech. First, they explain what they liked about the speech, including Trump exposing that Democrats oppose the protection of citizens over illegal aliens and or stopping schools or local governments from transitioning minors without the knowledge or consent of parents. Democrats also refused to clap for families traumatized by violent crime and even seemed pretty unenthused about the Olympic champion hockey team. Talk about an own goal! Next, they scratch their heads at news that President Trump doesn’t want to pursue another reconciliation bill in Congress this year to pass more GOP fiscal priorities while Republicans still hold majorities on both sides of Capitol Hill. Jim and Greg urge him to reconsider and point to the value such an agenda would have on the midterms. Finally, they pan the Democrats’ rebuttal delivered by Gov. Spanberger, noting what they see as hypocrisy on some issues and incoherence on others. They also highlight the thoroughly bizarre event lefties ran in opposition to the State of the Union.

    Candace Owens Targets Erika Kirk in New Series

    Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday edition of the 3 Martini Lunch as they analyze a rare left-wing denunciation of Democratic leadership in major U.S. cities, preview President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address and what he needs to tell us about Iran, and react to Candace Owens’ latest smear campaign targeting Erika Kirk. First, they’re pleasantly stunned to see CNN host Fareed Zakaria sharply criticizing Democrats’ disastrous leadership in big cities across the country. Zakaria points to rising spending, higher taxes, and disappointing results in many urban areas long run by the left. But will this stop Zakaria and other lefties from carrying the water for Democrats when election season comes around? Next, they brace for a long State of the Union address from President Trump tonight. They also urge him to get specific about why there may soon be military action against Iran and why it might be needed. And there are new reports out about what Iran may do in response to any U.S. military action. Finally, they recoil as Candace Owens prepares to launch an entire series aimed at assassinating the character of Erika Kirk. In addition to denouncing Owens, Jim wants to know where Charlie Kirk's supposed friends are when Kirk's widow is the target of such vile content.

    Gold for Team USA, Media Pushes Anti-Trump Angle

    Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour host Scot Bertram fills in for Jim on Wednesday’s 3 Martini Lunch. Join Scot and Greg as they celebrate Team USA’s Winter Olympics victory, push back on media reluctance to cheer American success, break down the debate over proof of citizenship to vote and the SAVE Act, and examine the left’s increasingly crude and demeaning campaign tactics. First, they celebrate Team USA's successful Winter Olympics, including the dramatic overtime gold medal win in hockey on Sunday. They applaud hockey hero Jack Hughes for his unabashed love for the U.S. and react to coverage from outlets like HuffPost that seemed reluctant to fully celebrate American success while President Trump is in office. Next, Scot and Greg take apart arguments from Gavin Newsom and Bernie Sanders, who criticize the SAVE Act’s proof-of-citizenship requirement by claiming difficulty in obtaining birth certificates. They also note the irony as New Yorik City requires five forms of identification before hiring people as emergency snow shovelers. Finally, they're disgusted as Newsom demeans black voters by how he tries to identify with them and a prominent Illinois U.S. Senate candidate's only campaign message is vulgarities aimed at President Trump.

    Supreme Court Shoots Down Trump’s Tariffs

    Inez Stepman of the independent Women's Forum is in for Jim today. Join Inez and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they as they break down the media’s contrasting coverage of American Alysa Liu and American-born Olympian Eileen Gu competing under the Chinese flag, react to the Supreme Court’s ruling on President Donald Trump’s tariffs, and highlight how price controls for groceries is now mainstream policy for Democrats. First, they share the powerful backstory of Alysa Liu, whose father fled Communist China after the Tiananmen Square crackdown and later resisted Chinese Communist Party efforts to monitor the family and pressure them to return. Inez says it also highlights what should be a key factor in deciding who should be allowed to enter this country. Next, they assess the Supreme Court’s decision limiting President Donald Trump’s ability to impose tariffs under emergency powers. Inez points out that the overarching ruling leaves the power to tax with the legislative branch but that the raft of concurring opinions shows the court is deeply divided beyond that.  Finally, they shake their heads as mainstream Democrats are now following Zohran Mamdani's lead and calling for price controls on groceries. There's no chance this ends well, but Inez reminds us that this was the Democrats' approach for decades before briefly moving away from it.

    Tucker Carlson Accused of Lying About Israel Detention

    Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday edition of the 3 Martini Lunch as they break down French President Emmanuel Macron’s controversial comments on limiting free speech, Tucker Carlson’s claim that he was “detained” in Israel, and new polling that gives Republicans reason for optimism in this year’s gubernatorial elections. First, they push back on Pres. Macron after he suggested tighter limits on speech he considers hateful or misinformation and anonymous speech online. Jim and Greg explain why restricting free expression is a dangerous path and what the freedom-loving response is to ugly speech. They also comment briefly on the arrest of former Prince Andrew in the UK. Next, they examine Tucker Carlson’s claim that he and his team were “detained” at Ben Gurion Airport in Israel while traveling to interview Ambassador Mike Huckabee. Huckabee insists the screening was routine and that all travelers face similar scrutiny. Jim weighs in on Tucker's antics and the lesson Huckabee should learn here. Finally, they're encouraged that polling currently shows Republicans are likely to keep a majority of governorships following this year's elections. They offer different thoughts on why Republicans may fare better at the state level than the national level this year.
