    Kamala Plots Her Comeback, Russia & the DHL Disaster, Clintons Still Can't Accept 2016

    Join Jim and Greg on 3 Martini Lunch as they unpack Kamala Harris’s plans for a political comeback, heightened tensions with Russia following a cargo plane crash, and Bill Clinton’s tiresome excuses for Hillary’s 2016 loss. First, they analyze reports that Kamala Harris is eyeing a 2026 California gubernatorial run or another presidential bid in 2028. Jim highlights the crowded field of Democrats for governor and skepticism from national Democrats after Harris’s underwhelming 2024 performance. Next, they note the crash of a DHL cargo jet in Lithuania. The disaster comes just a few weeks after intelligence officials revealed concerns that Russia was plotting to attack passenger planes and was experimenting with incendiary devices on cargo planes in preparation. Jim suggests this is Putin's way of escalating tensions during a presidential transition. Finally, they get a kick out of Bill Clinton insisting that the only reason Trump beat Hillary eight years ago was because of then-FBI Director Jim Comey and the lingering Hillary Clinton email investigation. Jim also outlines the depths of Bill's hypocrisy when it comes to Trump and explains why the Clintons will never get over losing in 2016.

    Trump's Controversial Cabinet Picks, GOP's Tight House Majority, State Dept.'s 'Cry Sessions'

    Join Jim and Greg on 3 Martini Lunch as they break down two bad martinis and a crazy one to kick off the week. They dig into two controversial Trump cabinet picks, a razor-thin GOP House majority, and the State Department's taxpayer-funded therapy sessions after Trump’s win. First, they assess Trump’s latest cabinet picks, praising Russ Vought for Office of Management and Budget and Dr. Marty Makary for the Food and Drug Administration, while expressing major concerns about Lori Chavez-DeRemer as Secretary of Labor due to her anti-Right to Work stance and Scott Bessent for Treasury, given his ties to George Soros. Next, they analyze the very narrow House Republican majority in the coming Congress, with three races still unresolved and three looming GOP vacancies. They explain why this slim margin leaves little room for defections or other unexpected setbacks over the next two years. Finally, they react to reports of the State Department hosting therapy sessions, including a "cry session," for employees struggling to cope with Trump’s victory—on the taxpayers’ dime. Jim calls for lefties to gain a little perspective on dealing with election results, while Greg suggests clearing out partisan bureaucrats in supposedly neutral roles.

    Gaetz Closed, Casey Finally Concedes, The UN's Climate Cash Grab

    Join Jim and Greg on 3 Martini Lunch as they unpack Matt Gaetz withdrawing his bid for Attorney General and President-Elect Trump choosing Pam Bondi as his new nominee, Sen. Bob Casey's overdue concession, and the UN’s latest attempt to bilk U.S. taxpayers in the name of climate change. First, they discuss Matt Gaetz stepping aside after multiple GOP senators vowed to oppose his nomination. They also explore Pam Bondi’s record as Florida Attorney General and the potential hurdles in her confirmation process. Plus, they explain why Gaetz’s political future won’t include a Senate or House seat. Next, they're glad to see Pennsylvania Sen. Bob Casey, Jr. concede his loss to Republican challenger Dave McCormick. But even in this statement, Casey spoke glowingly of election officials in all counties and the legal army he assembled, allegedly to make sure no voters were disenfranchised. Jim and Greg are not impressed but they're glad he's finally hitting the bricks. Finally, they roll their eyes at the UN’s plan to demand $250 billion from the U.S. and other Western nations for climate change initiatives. Even more absurd, the recipient nations are upset it’s not $1 trillion. Thankfully, this misguided scheme is unlikely to survive past Trump’s inauguration.

    School Choice Success, Biden's Border Horrors, Huge Government Waste, Lefties Leaving Twitter

    Undisputed King of Stuff, columnist, and novelist Jon Gabriel guest-hosts for Jim on today’s 3 Martini Lunch. Jon and Greg serve up four martinis, tackling school choice in North Carolina in beyond, the unspeakable horrors stemming from our open borders, staggering government waste, and celebrities fleeing Twitter/X. First, they commend North Carolina lawmakers for overriding the governor’s veto on school choice and expanding vouchers. Jon also highlights the positive impacts of similar policies in Arizona, debunking the teachers’ unions’ doomsday predictions. Next, they dive into the horrifying consequences of open-border policies, including the tragic murder of Laken Riley by a criminal illegal alien. They also note the alarming numbers of immigrant children unaccounted for and vulnerable to sex trafficking. Then, they shake their heads as the Pentagon fails its audit for the seventh year in a row and at the Pentagon official who insists that not knowing where the money ended up does not mean it was wasted. Can figures like Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy rein in this fiscal chaos? Finally, they laugh about left-wing celebrities leaving Twitter/X in dramatic fashion—only to discover that their alternative platforms are just as disappointing.

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

    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 that Trump is already appealing the verdict over immunity arguments and that 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 in border security, will Trump get the same reaction 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.

    Pennsylvania Supreme Court Scolds Dems, Biden's Ukraine Bungling, Rick Wilson’s New Grift

    Join Jim and Greg for 3 Martini Lunch as they tackle the Pennsylvania Supreme Court's sharp rebuke of local Democrats for counting illegally cast ballots, President Biden's erratic handling of the Russia-Ukraine war, and a new grift spearheaded by a Lincoln Project alum. First, the left-leaning Pennsylvania Supreme Court issues a scathing decision, ordering election officials in metro Philadelphia to reject ballots lacking proper dates or containing errors. This ruling, written in boldface and all caps, leaves no room for misinterpretation and marks the court's third intervention on this issue.  Next, Jim unloads on President Biden's inconsistent strategy in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Months after providing Ukraine with long-range ATACMS missiles, Biden has now authorized their use against targets deep inside Russia.. They also discuss the likely impact of this decision and what to make of Putin's threat to use nuclear weapons in response. Finally, Jim and Greg spotlight Rick Wilson's latest money-grabbing scheme. The longtime Lincoln Project figure is now targeting Elon Musk and Rupert Murdoch, claiming to deploy “military-grade intelligence” to unearth their supposed disinformation networks. And Jim and Greg expose it as yet another cynical attempt to cash in on partisan outrage.

    Fetterman Rebukes Pelosi, Minnesota Election Crimes, Joe & Mika Try to Make Up with Trump

    Join Jim and Greg on 3 Martini Lunch as they break down Sen. John Fetterman’s criticism of Nancy Pelosi, charges against a Minnesota election judge for allowing illegal voting, and Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski trying to rekindle ties with Donald Trump after years of hostility. First, Jim and Greg relish Sen. John Fetterman publicly blasting Nancy Pelosi for blaming Joe Biden over Kamala Harris’s loss and for overstaying her welcome in Congress. They highlight how rare and refreshing it is to see a Democrat criticize Pelosi so openly, especially given her long history of intimidating other Democrats into following her wishes. Next, they condemn the actions of a Minnesota election judge facing felony charges for allowing 11 unregistered voters to cast ballots. Despite Minnesota’s same-day voter registration policy, the judge ignored the required process, demonstrating a blatant disregard for election laws and undermining voter integrity. Finally, they laugh at the irony of Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski reopening communication with Donald Trump after years of their relentless demonization of him. They also discuss the left-wing backlash against Joe and Mika’s pivot and suggest Trump is likely reveling in their change of heart.

    House Dems' Blame Game, Pennsylvania Dems Defy Court, Trumps Picks RFK Jr. for HHS

    Join Jim and Greg on 3 Martini Lunch as they unpack some House Democrats blaming their leader for GOP election wins, local Pennsylvania Democrats disregarding court orders to aid Sen. Bob Casey, and Donald Trump choosing Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. to run the Department of Health and Human Services. First, Jim and Greg enjoy the fireworks as some House progressives accuse Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries of causing Republican victories by failing to convince President Biden to step aside sooner. The lefties further lament that former Speaker Nancy Pelosi had to push Biden out of the race. Jim and Greg dissect why this narrative is far-fetched but relish watching Democrats openly battle over election blame. Next, they express disbelief as local Democrats in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, flagrantly defy a state Supreme Court order prohibiting the counting of certain invalid ballots. One commissioner even declared on camera that legal precedent no longer matters. Jim and Greg expose the hypocrisy of Democrats claiming to be defenders of democracy while blatantly ignoring the rule of law. Finally, they analyze President-Elect Trump’s decision to nominate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services. While Kennedy could champion important reforms, they raise concerns over his pro-abortion stance, his potential priorities, and even more political capital being spent over a cabinet fight.
