    Midnight for Maduro

    Happy New Year! Jim and Greg return to their regular format on the 3 Martini Lunch and kick off the year with some massive stories. They break down the stunning U.S. military operation to arrest illegitimate Marxist Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz announcing he will not seek a third term as his government is engulfed in scandal, and what President Trump wants to happen next in Venezuela and whether the remaining government will cooperate.  First, they are blown away by the jaw-dropping speed, precision, and execution of the U.S. military mission that captured Maduro and his wife early Saturday in Caracas. Jim and Greg explain why the extraordinarily high level of difficulty sends a powerful message to America’s adversaries worldwide, and why no one should feel a shred of sympathy for Maduro after years of repression, corruption, and brutality. Next, they welcome the news that Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz will not seek a third term as his administration sinks under the weight of a massive state welfare fraud scandal. Jim reminds us that a lot of information was already known about this scandal even before Kamala Harris picked Walz as her running mate. And they consider how the political chairs will shift in Minnesota based on this decision.  Finally, they consider what comes next in Venezuela after the capture of Maduro. Jim gives us very unpleasant briefing on the new Venezuelan leader and considers whether the Trump administration can get her to do what it wants done there.

    2026 Predictions: Safe, Bold, and Outlandish Projections for the Year to Come

    Happy New Year! Join Jim and Greg as they kick off 2026 with predictions for the year to come. In this special edition, they will start with safe predictions and get increasingly bold as the conversation continues. Jim's first prediction centers on what he expects will be a frequent and disturbing trend as America gets ready to celebrate 250 years of independence. Meanwhile, Greg is bracing for a horrible year in politics close to home as a purplish state shifts strongly to the left and horrible pieces of legislation will likely become law. Next, they get a bit bolder. Jim focuses on where he thinks the economy will be when the midterm elections roll around a little less than a year from now. Greg examines the midterms themselves and has good and bad news for both political parties. Finally, they issue their most aggressive predictions. Jim has an incredibly rosy outlook on where his and Greg's favorite NFL teams will be a year from now. Greg predicts a shocking verdict in a case that should be open and shut.

    Encore: Our Favorite, Least Favorite, and Craziest Elections

    Happy New Year! Jim and Greg are off today but we have you covered with one of their recent specials. Join Jim and Greg as they reflect back on the best, worst, and craziest elections in their memories. First, they start with their favorite elections. Jim looks back at one from earlier this century that not only brought satisfying results but was also a big boost to his career. Meanwhile, Greg feels old but excited in highlighting one from decades ago that was not only a fantastic night in the presidential race but that was also really good down ballot. Next, they look back on the toughest elections and one in particular stands out as Republicans seemed poised for a win but ended up well short. But the lingering effects of that election cycle have reverberated in every election cycle since. Finally, they think about the craziest elections they remember. Is it possible to have an election crazier than one major party nominee and former president getting shot and the incumbent president being forced to drop out by his own party?  New episodes every weekday.  👉 Subscribe to the show so you never miss a moment.

    2025 Martini Awards Part 5: Most Overreported Story, Most Underreported Story, Best Story of 2025

    It's media day in our year-end 3 Martini Lunch awards and Jim and Greg have plenty to say about how things were covered - if they were covered at all. Specifically, they look at the stories the mainstream media covered far too much, the ones they conveniently ignored because they didn't fit their narrative, and they highlight what they saw as the best stories of 2025. First, they dig into the most overreported stories of the year, with Jim choosing a constant drumbeat from the mainstream media to help get a truly radical candidate elected in New York City. Greg says the media's obsession with turning every Trump story into a possible scandal is non-stop, but there was one incredibly inconsequential construction project in Washington that they just could not shut up about.  Then it's on to the stories the media didn't cover much or didn't want to cover. Jim points to the scant media attention given to the remarkable educational advancements happening in Mississippi. Greg focuses on the media's yawning over the persecution of Christians, even when Trump and the pope are speaking out against it. Finally, they reveal their selections for best stories of the year. Jim focuses on the biggest diplomatic achievement of the year, was more than two years in the making, and brought relief or closure to many families. Greg's selection is much more personal, focusing on the incredible achievements of a family friend. Make sure to listen on Wednesday as Greg and Jim unveil their selections for Person of the Year, Loser of the Year, and Turncoat of the Year.  New episodes every weekday.  👉 Subscribe to the show so you never miss a moment.

    2025 Martini Awards Part 4: Best Ideas, Worst Ideas, Boldest Tactics

    More year-end awards today! Today, Jim and Greg tackle the fourth installment of the 3 Three Martini Lunch Awards. Today, they offer up their selections for the Best Political Idea, Worst Political Idea, and Boldest Political Tactics for the year.  They start with the best ideas of the year. Jim applauds those who are advancing the cutting edge technology that will rapidly change our world. Greg cheers on those fighting to eliminate the most unfair tax of all. Then it's time for the worst political ideas of the year. Jim quickly zeroes in on a big aspect of the Trump economic agenda that may well be hurting the president's own efforts to bring prices down. Greg chides Trump for picking a fight with closest neighbors at a time when the lefties there were about to implode. Now we get five more years of leftist insanity. Finally, they're on to the boldest political tactics for 2025. Jim praises Trump for waving off the naysayers and neutralizing on of the world's major looming threats. Greg gives Trump and Elon Musk credit for trying to shrink our government. Even though it did not achieve all of its goals, at least someone finally tried - something neither party has shown any interest in doing for decades.

    2025 Martini Awards Part 3: Biggest Lie, Best Political Theater, Worst Political Theater

    We hope you had a wonderful Christmas! Jim and Greg are back today for the third round of the 3 Martini Lunch Awards. Today, they discuss the Biggest Lie, Best Political Theater, and Worst Political Theater of 2025. They start with the biggest lies of the year. Jim focuses on a political campaign that was built on multiple lies and media doing virtually nothing to call any of it out. Greg's choice centers on a statement from a top administration official that led to major blowback from President Trump's own officials. Then it's time for the best political theater of 2025, with Jim choosing something President Trump does a lot that President Biden avoided whenever possible. Greg suggests theater isn't exactly the right description for his moment, as he focuses on the powerful statement of Erika Kirk at her husband's memorial service. Finally, they cringe remembering the worst political theater of 2025. Jim points out a prominent Democrat politician who was totally AWOL when she was most needed by her constituents. Greg chooses the very same politician (and others) but for a very different reason. Please join us on Monday as Jim and Greg hand out their awards for Best Political Idea, Worst Political Idea, and Boldest Tactic for 2025.

    Encore: $38 Trillion in Debt & Everyone Yawns

    We hope you are having a very Merry Christmas! Jim and Greg are spending the day with their families, but we're happy to present an encore presentation of a recent special edition of the 3 Martini Lunch! Join Jim and Greg as they dive into stories that didn’t quite make the cut for full martinis in recent weeks but still deserve attention. Jim examines the persistent challenges of inflation and America’s skyrocketing debt, while Greg highlights a major Trump victory at the United Nations and new signs that one expected 2028 Democrat contender may be bowing out before the race begins. Then they get a little but more on the lighter side for their final martinis. First, Jim notes that while inflation is much more under control than during the Biden administration, it's still stubbornly at or around three percent year-over-year most months and it's still making many Americans sweat. Greg focuses on the Trump administration leading the charge to stop a United Nations carbon emissions tax on shipping. Greg cheers the latest win in blocking the left's green agenda and higher prices for the goods on those ships. Jim adds another critical point that's key in any discussion of the United Nations. Next, Jim shudders as the national debt officially soars beyond the $38 trillion mark and he's especially horrified at how fast the debt is growing. Meanwhile, Greg points out recent comments from Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer suggesting she may not run for president in 2028. That would be good news given Whitmer's terrible record as governor. Finally, Jim explains how the NFL's desire to reach younger fans could soon lead to a significant drop in viewership. Greg wonders if there is any integrity left in competition after another cheating scandal rocks a world championship. New episodes every weekday.  👉 Subscribe to the show so you never miss a moment.
