    Inside Labor Sec. Chavez-DeRemer’s Scandal & Sudden Resignation

    Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down the resignation of Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer, signs of momentum among House Democrats towards expelling Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, and the sudden surge of former Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra in the California governor’s race. First, they're not at all sorry to see President Trump forcing Sec. Chavez-DeRemer to resign. Jim and Greg explain how she was always far too cozy with big labor and a threat to the freelance economy. They also note the serious ethics problems, both personal and professionsl, that were mounting against her. Next, House Democrats now seemed more inclined to expel Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick or at least pressure her to resign over allegations that she stole millions in COVID-era FEMA funds for personal and political benefit. But Democrats were adamantly opposed to punishing her just a few weeks ago. What changed? Then they are startled to see Sec. Becerra leap to the front of the pack in the California governor’s race, especially since he was barely an afterthought for most of the campaign until Eric Swalwell was forced to withdraw. Finally, they take a quick look at the Los Angeles mayoral race, where Karen Bass appears on track for re-election. But as leading challenger and former reality television star Spencer Pratt alleges the Chinese are aggressively buying up lots after the Palisades and other fires, Jim and Greg wonder whether Pratt’s celebrity will help or hurt his campaign.

    The Democrats' Insane Agenda If They Retake Power

    Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down historically low violent crime rates in Washington, D.C., new evidence on the brain damage linked to regular marijuana use, the left's radical - but likely - agenda whenever they retake Congress and the White House, and Zohran Mamdani's curse on the New York Mets. First, they welcome statistics showing Washington, D.C, on track for the lowest number of murders since 1930 plus a major drop in carjackings. Hopefully, the trend continues. If it does, there are specific, common sense policy changes that are obviously making a big difference. Next, as pot smokers celebrate 4/20, Jim and Greg examine both recent and longstanding research suggesting regular weed use can damage the brain and lead to other health problems. Jim and Greg discuss how neither party is interested in pushing back against pro-weed policy anymore, even as evidence like this grows. Plus, Jim offers some classic commentary on having to smell weed all the time in America's cities.   Then, fossilized former Clinton campaign adviser James Carville urges Democrats to aggressively seize power whenever they control the White House and both chambers of Congress again. You'll hear what specific ideas Carville and the Democrats are pushing, along with his advice that candidates avoid talking openly about those plans until after Election Day. Finally, they have some fun with the news that the New York Mets are 0-11 since their mascots, Mr. and Mrs. Met, hugged New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani. But Jim knows that Mamdani, like most Marxists, has a plan to salvage the season. Please visit our great sponsors: QuoMake this the season where no opportunity or customer slips away with Quo.

    Swalwell Resigns, Dems' Hasan Piker Problem, TDS at the NY Times | Last Call

    Welcome to Last Call, a look at the biggest stories Jim and Greg covered over the past week on the 3 Martini Lunch. This week, Jim and Greg break down two high-profile congressional resignations, the radical views of popular lefty podcaster and influencer Hasan Piker, New York Times columnist Tom Friedman’s baffling stance on the Iran war, and some badly needed judicial wisdom from Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. First, they welcome the resignations of Caiifornia Rep. Eric Swalwell and Texas Rep. Tony Gonzales. Swalwell is the Democrat who was running for governor until sexual assault and other allegations forced him out of the race. Gonzales, a Republican who is married, had an affair with a married staffer who later committed suicide by self-immolation. They react to the resignations and what's left of the Democrats running for governor in Caiifornia. Next, they react to lefty podcaster Hasan Piker doubling down on his claim that Israel is a thousand times worse than Hamas. Piker is a prominent voice on the left and some candidates have asked him to campaign with them. You'll also learn who Piker sees as the biggest terrorist organization in the world. Then they throw up their hands as longtime New York Times columnist Tom Friedman says he's conflicted over who he wants to win the Iran war. We'll explain the absurd reasons for his conundrum and just how deranged that thinking is. Finally, after all of that bad news, Greg and Thursday guest host and former Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli close with some refreshing wisdom from Justice Thomas about the proper role of judges.

    The Surge of the Anti-Israel Democrats

    Christopher J. Scalia of the American Enterprise Institute is in for Jim Geraghty on the Friday 3 Martini Lunch. Today, Chris and Greg discuss allegations that the media could have reported on the Swalwell scandal as early as 2019, the "Michigan Mamdani: surging in the Michigan U.S. Senate race, and signs that Yale University may finally realize it lost its way. First, Chris and Greg react to a longtime Democratic activist claiming Politico was preparing a 2019 report on Eric Swalwell’s alleged sexual misconduct while he was running for president. But after Swalwell dropped out of the race, the story was never published, even though he remained in Congress.  Next, they shudder as hostility towards Israel is now clearly the popular and safest position among Democrats. Abdul El-Sayed, dubbed the Michigan Mamdani, is now tied for the lead in the Michigan Democratic U.S. Senate primary. They also note that every Democratic senator rumored to be considering a presidential run just voted against military aid to Israel.  Then, Chris welcomes a new report from a special Yale University commission outlining where the school has gone wrong on admissions, academics, free speech, soaring tuition costs and more. They hope it marks the beginning of a return to sanity in higher education, but will actions follow the words? Finally, Chris observes another small but important return to normalcy: some familiar-looking uniforms for the team formerly known as the Washington Redskins.

    Dems Relentlessly Push for More Power, Some GOP Helping Them on Amnesty

    Former Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli fills in for Jim Geraghty on the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch. Today, Ken and Greg break down another maddening bipartisan push for immigration amnesty, the latest battle over Virginia’s congressional map, and a sweeping new gun control effort from Virginia Democrats. First, they examine the so-called “Dignity Act,” backed by Republican Rep. Maria Salazar, which would grant legal work status to illegal immigrants who arrived before 2021 and have not committed additional crimes. While supporters insist it’s not amnesty, Cuccinelli says it is clearly amnesty. He also explains how radical the left has become on this issue and why there are always some Republicans who never learn when it comes to this issue. Next, Ken and Greg update the fight over Democrats' efforts to radically redraw Virginia's congressional map and flip four additional seats in their favor. Cuccinelli explains why he's optimistic that the referendum will fail and why he's confident the new map won't take effect even if voters approve it. Then, they dive into Virginia Democrats’ escalating gun control agenda, highlighting how the state serves as a preview of the midterm elections. They argue it’s a clear example of the gap between the supposedly moderate promises Democrats make on the campaign trail and the far left policies they pursue once in power. Finally, after all of that bad news, they close with some refreshing wisdom from Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas about the proper role of judges.

    Sen. Ruben Gallego Claims Ignorance as Swalwell Scandal Grows

    Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down Arizona Sen. Ruben Gallego’s efforts to distance himself from disgraced former Rep. Eric Swalwell, the radical view of popular lefty podcaster and influencer Hasan Piker, the anti-capitalist domestic terrorism attack the media is barely covering, and Joy Behar's cluelessness about Christianity. First, they dissect Sen. Gallego’s lengthy comments about Swalwell, once described as a close ally, now dismissed as someone living a “double life.” Gallego insists he had no knowledge of the behavior while accusing Republicans of trying to link him to the scandal. Jim and Greg question how such conduct could go unnoticed given Capitol Hill chatter and explain why Gallego is scrambling to politically inoculate himself from the fallout. First, they go through the extensive comments of Sen. Gallego, who was Swalwell's best friend and now Gallego says he had no idea about Swalwell's "double life." He also accuses Republicans of trying to tie him to the scandal. Jim and Greg explain why Gallego pleading ignorance does not pass the smell test. And they explain why Gallego needs to inoculate himself from the Swalwell scandal as quickly as possible. Next, they react to lefty podcaster Hasan Piker doubling down on his claim that Israel is a thousand times worse than Hamas. Piker is a prominent voice on the left and some candidates have asked him to campaign with them. You'll also learn who Piker sees as the biggest terrorist organization in the world. Then, Jim and Greg highlight the domestic terrorism incident where an employee burned down a Kimberly Clark Corp. warehouse in Ontario, California. The suspect was allegedly inspired by Luigi Mangione, who murdered a health insurance executive in New York City, and claimed that his arson was a protest against capitalism. Finally, they sigh as Joy Behar claims Jesus Christ never claimed to be the Messiah. Even the other lefties on The View corrected her. Greg explains why she's wrong and Jim reveals why this kind of ignorance is so common on that show.

    Eric Swalwell Scandal Erupts, Dems Push Him Out of Race

    Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down the explosive scandal engulfing California Rep. Eric Swalwell and its impact on the governor’s race, escalating tensions after failed U.S.-Iran negotiations, and the growing controversy surrounding a Democratic Senate candidate’s disturbing past. First, parental discretion is advised, as Jim and Greg dig into the details and fallout of four different women accusing Rep. Swalwell of sexual misconduct ranging from rape to sending and requesting explicit photos. Multiple lawmakers and reporters say none of this comes as a surprise about Swalwell. So why did the Democrats decide to kick Swalwell to the curb noe when they've known about him for years? Next, they react to the U.S. and Iran failing to reach a deal to end their six-week war through negotiations in Pakistan over the weekend. In response, President Trump is blockading the Strait of Hormuz and key Iranian ports. What does this mean for the war and your wallet/ Then, they react to Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner blaming his Nazi Totenkopf tattoo and past inflammatory comments about rape on what he calls a hyper-masculine military culture. But he says he has much different views now. Jim and Greg are not buying it at all. Finally, Democrats forced Swalwell out of the California governor's race, but they're somehow conflicted about whether he should stay in Congress. Jim and Greg predict whether he will be forced out or allowed to finish his term.
