    'No Kings' Exposed, Reckless Charlie Kirk Report & 'Define Women' Fail | 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. Jim was on vacation this week but Greg enjoyed great conversations wiith our guest hosts on the Daily Mail's irresponsible reporting on the Charlie Kirk murder case, the reality beind the No Kings protests, and Pennsylvania Democrats stumped when asked to define "women." First, Greg and National Review's Charles C.W. Cooke dismantle a Daily Mail report highlighting a defense motion in the Charlie Kirk murder case that’s being framed as a bombshell revelation. Charlie explains why the filing is a routine legal strategy and not evidence supporting conspiracy theories promoted by figures like Candace Owens. Next, Greg ane former Virginia lawmaker Nick Freitas highlight the latest series of "No Kings" protests around the U.S. last weekend and how numerous rallies featured communist flags and banners. They also highlight how this supposedly grassroots effort is funded and carefully organized by very far left groups.  Then, Nick and Greg get a good laugh as Democrats in Pennsylvania try to approve a resolution honoring March as National Women's Month. But a very simple Republican amendment ended up derailing the whole thing. We share the story and discuss how the the party that supposedly champions women ends up insulting and disrespecting them over and over again. In this week's chaser, Greg and Charlie Cooke react to the bizarre story of twelve tons of KitKat products stolen in Europe. While condemning the theft, Charlie and Greg reveal which candy or snack they would be most tempted to swipe.

    Trump Drops Attorney General Pam Bondi & Here’s Why

    Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour host Scot Bertram fills in for Jim Geraghty on on the Friday 3 Martini Lunch. Today, Scot and Greg discuss President Trump firing Attorney General Pam Bondi, anti-Semitism driving a majority of hate crimes in New York City, the radical beliefs of a competitive U.S. Senate candidate in Michigan, and King Charles III skipping an Easter message.. First, they react to President Trump's dismissal of Pam Bondi. Trump insists Bondi did a good job and they she will take on a different role in the administration. So why did Trump make this move? Scot and Greg offer a couple of explanations for why this happened and why it happened now. Next, they examine troubling new data from the NYPD showing that a majority of hate crimes in New York City during the first quarter of 2026 were driven by anti-Semitism. Scot explains why he thinks Islamic radicals feel emboldened right now in New York City and beyond. Greg suggests there's a pretty simple way to bring those numbers way down. Then, they take a close look at Abdul El-Sayed, one of the Democrats running for U.S. Senate in Michigan in a very close primary. New reporting this week shows El-Sayed wanted to avoid a public response to the U.S. killing of Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khameini. And a former member of the campaign staff says El-Sayed true beliefs on Israel and other issues are deeply disturbing. In the Friday chaser, Scot and Greg shake their heads as the UK's King Charles III declines to give an Easter message just weeks after issuing a very positive statement for Ramadan.

    Trump's Strategy Crushing Iran, Victory on the Horizon?

    Inez Stepman of the Independent Women's Forum is in for Jim Geraghty for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch. Today, Inez and Greg discuss President Trump's Iran speech, the agreement among congressional Republicans to fund most of the Department of Homeland Security, and another facepalm moment from Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. First, they're glad President Trump once again explained just how devastatingly successful the U.S. military has been against Iran over the past month and that operations should be over within 2-3 weeks. But there are still big questions about what conditions we need to say it's over and what happens after that in the region. Next, they react to House Speaker Mike Johnson agreeing to take up and pass the Senate bill funding most of Homeland Security, except parts of ICE and Customs and Border Protection. It's a win for airline passengers and also for DHS employees who haven't been paid since mid-February. But it's another example of Republicans making frustrating concessions. Finally, they cringe at Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s unusual illustration defending the prevailing interpretation of birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment. Inez also explains why the Trump administration is unlikely to win the case currently before the court.

    SCOTUS Free Speech Ruling & The Birthright Citizenship Clash

    Inez Stepman of the Independent Women’s Forum fills in for Jim Geraghty on Wednesday’s 3 Martini Lunch. Today, Inez and Greg break down a major Supreme Court free speech ruling, the latest birthright citizenship arguments before the court, Congress leaving DHS unfunded for another two weeks, and the jaw-dropping cost of college at George Washington University & other schools. First, they react to the Supreme Court’s 8-1 ruling against a Colorado law that banned therapists from counseling minors to accept that their biological sex is correct. Inez also slams Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson as essentially writing op-eds from the bench instead of rooting decisions in the law. They also discuss today's high profile birthright citizenship case. Next, they take Congress to task for leaving Washington for a two-week break while the Department of Homeland Security remains unfunded. Inez argues this dysfunction underscores the need for at least a talking filibuster, and maybe an end to the fllibuster altogether, to get things done. Greg is skeptical that ending the filibuster would be good in the short term or the long term. Then, they dig into the skyrocketing cost of higher education after reports that George Washington University will charge returning students up to $98,000 per year for tuition, room, and board. Inez explains how government involvement in higher education continues to drive prices higher, leaving families burdened while universities reap the benefits. Finally, they highlight the scheduled launch of the Artemis II mission, which aims to send astronauts around the moon and pave the way for future lunar landings and a permanent base there. They're glad to see America aiming high again, both in exploration and for our national security.

    Daily Mail Report Ignites False Claims in Charlie Kirk Case

    National Review Senior Editor Charles C.W. Cooke, host of the Charles C.W. Cooke Podcast, fills in for Jim on Tuesday’s 3 Martini Lunch. Charlie and Greg break down misleading Daily Mail reporting fueling conspiracy theories about the Charlie Kirk murder case, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt blasting media silence on a high-profile crime committed by an illegal alien, and backlash from The View over comments encouraging young women to get married and have kids. First, they dismantle a Daily Mail report highlighting a defense motion in the Charlie Kirk murder case that’s being framed as a bombshell revelation. Charlie explains why the filing is a routine legal strategy and not evidence supporting conspiracy theories promoted by figures like Candace Owens. They also praise Karoline Leavitt for calling out major broadcast networks for giving minimal coverage to the murder of Loyola University student Sheridan Gorman by an illegal alien. Charlie and Greg examine the media’s reluctance to spotlight crimes involving illegal immigrants and the left's pattern of protecting violent criminal illegals from deportation. Next, they dig into why the women on The View would be so horrified that a speaker at last week's CPAC encouraged young women to prioritize marriage and having children while they are young. Charlie also points out the policy ignorance on display in the reaction on The View.  Finally, in today’s chaser, they react to the bizarre story of twelve tons of KitKat products stolen in Europe. While condemning the theft, Charlie and Greg reveal which candy or snack they would be most tempted to swipe.

    Joe Kent Controversy, Chicago Murder Blame & Kimmel Mockery | 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, they discuss Joe Kent offering to testify for the defense in the Charlie Kirk murder case, an Illinois politician blaming the victim for being murdered by an illegal alien, and Jimmy Kimmel mocking Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin’s blue-collar background First, they react with disbelief as former National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent claims the FBI blocked his investigation into Charlie Kirk’s assassination and now says he is willing to testify in defense of the accused killer. Jim and Greg weigh in on the unhinged, conspiracy-minded podcast hosts and what this tells us about Kent in particular. Next, they fume over the murder of a college student near Loyola University in Chicago, allegedly at the hands of an illegal immigrant. A Chicago alderman quickly suggested on social media that the victim may unintentionally be to blame or her own killing. Jim calls out the left's huge double standard on illegals. Then, they also call out Jimmy Kimmel for ridiculing Sec. Mullin’s roots as a plumber. In the chaser of the week, Jim and Greg highlight Virginia Rep. Don Beyer admitting his state's gerrymandering effort is "unfair" but explainng why he thinks voters should approve of it anyway.

    Senate Funds DHS But Who Actually Caved?

    Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they dissect the Senate deal to fund the Department of Homeland Security except for ICE and Customs & Border Patrol, reports that many more U.S. ground forces may be mobilized for the war with Iran, and San Francisco school officials reverse the big mistake of eliminating middle school algebra, which had been done in the name of "equity." First, they react to the U.S. Senate passing funding for most of DHS, while excluding ICE and Customs and Border Protection, via a late-night voice vote. Jim and Greg unpack why some conservatives see this as a strategic Republican win, while others argue the GOP squandered critical leverage  and caved in this standoff. Next, they examine reports that up to 10,000 additional U.S. ground forces could be mobilized to the Middle East, giving President Trump more options in the war with Iran. Jim explains why he supports the war effort but stresses that the administration must clearly and publicly justify the deployment of any ground troops. Finally, they offer muted applause for the San Francisco School Board after it reverses its controversial decision to eliminate middle school algebra in the name of “equity.” With test scores declining in the years since the change, Jim explains why dumbing down standards and expectations hurts everyone.
