    Remembering the Legendary Chuck Norris

    Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they highlight Senate Republicans exposing Democrats' hypocrisy on voter ID, rising energy pressures tied to the Iran conflict, and the death of legendary actor and martial artist Chuck Norris. First, they credit Ohio Sen. Jon Husted for proving Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and other Democrats don't mean it when they claim to support requiring photo ID in order to vote. They also point out the Democrats have a long history of opposing Voter ID under any circumstances and use absurd & inflammatory rhetoric to oppose GOP efforts to secure our elections. Next, Jim breaks down how Iran’s recent missile strike on a liquefied natural gas facility in Qatar, along with tensions surrounding the Strait of Hormuz, will strain global energy markets and drive up prices. He also explains why the war needs to continue and whether our energy independence will help to insulate the U.S. Finally, they remember martial arts icon, actor, and conservative activist Chuck Norris, who passed away at age 86. Jim and Greg discuss how Norris became a popular voice in GOP politics and how he became a larger than life figure who was beloved by people of all political stripes. Jim and Greg also have fun reciting their favorite "Chuck Norris Facts." Please visit our great sponsors: Your emotional well-being matters. Find support and feel lighter in therapy with BetterHelp.

    Cesar Chavez Exposed as Child Abuser & R*pist

    Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss an FBI probe into Trump’s former counterterrorism director, children of high-ranking Iranian regime officials teaching your kids in college, and a shocking report on labor icon Cesar Chavez. First, they react to the FBI investigation into whether former National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent leaked classified information while on the job. They also consider Kent’s conflicting assessments about whether Iran posed an imminent threat to the United States. Next, they react with disbelief to reports that children of senior Iranian regime figures are living in the United States and teaching at American colleges and universities. Jim has some pointed questions for U.S. immigration officials. Finally, they examine the explosive New York Times report alleging that Cesar Chavez sexually abused multiple women, including minors, while he led the farm labor movement decades ago. Two women say they were just 12 and 13 years old when the abuse began, with one reporting rape at age 15. Jim and Greg discuss the significance of Chavez in Democratic politics and how these allegations will likely force a major reassessment of his legacy.

    Another Massive Fraud Scandal Exposed in California

    Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they react to escalating tensions between two key Republicans during today’s Homeland Security confirmation hearing, new revelations of alleged financial and political fraud in California, and New York Gov. Kathy Hochul urging wealthy residents to return and pay higher taxes again. First, they break down Wednesday's heated clash between Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul and Oklahoma Sen. Markwayne Mullin during Wednesday’s confirmation hearing for Mullin’s nomination to replace Kristi Noem as Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. Sen. Paul chairs the committee holding the hearings. Why do they dislike each other so much and what does it mean for the confirmation process? Next, they highlight newly released undercover videos from Nick Shirley and James O'Keefe that appear to expose widespread fraud across Southern California. What exactly do the videos show, and how is Gavin Newsom and his team responding to the growing scrutiny? Finally, they get a good laugh out of Kathy Hochul openly lamenting the exodus of wealthy residents from New York and urging them to return so the state can collect more tax revenue. But how she said it is also very telling. Please visit our great sponsors: Your emotional well-being matters. Find support and feel lighter in therapy with BetterHelp.

    Trump Counterterrorism Director Quits, Says Israel Pushed Us Into War

    Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss Democrats failing to explain why they're inflicting horrific airport security lines on travelers, Trump's National Counterterrorism Center director quitting and claiming Israel snookered up into war with Iran, and the New York Times assigning 60 people to cover the Oscars. First, they show how bad Democrats are at explaining why they've shut down the Department of Homeland Security for more than a month. While the media still try to shield the Dems from blame, when will the frustration with TSA lines and shuttering the department in the wake of four domestic terrorism incidents boil over? Next, they react to National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent stepping down and alleging that President Trump was pushed into war with Iran by Israel. Jim explains why this resignation and the accusations behind it go far beyond a typical policy disagreement. Finally, Jim and Greg are staggered by how many personnel the New York Times devoted to covering the Oscars. Please visit our great sponsors: Your emotional well-being matters.

    Tucker Carlson Accuses CIA of Spying on Him Over Iran

    Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they dig into multiple ways President Trump is getting tough on China over Iran, Virginia Democrats showing their true radical colors on gun control, and Tucker Carlson claiming he might face prosecution after the intelligence community snooped on his text messages with his contacts in Iran. First, they're glad to see President Trump demanding that China help to force Iran to keep oil tankers flowing through the Straits of Hormuz. And they're glad to see a major cconcession by Iran over the weekend as well. They also unload on Virginia Democrats, who said very little about gun control on the campaign trail last year but are now passing some of the most egregious violations of the Second Amendment anywhere in the U.S. We'll tell you what they are pushing and share one lawmaker's insane explanation for why you don't need a gun to stop a terrorist or mass shooter. Finally, they roll their eyes as Tucker Carlson claims he's been referred for prosecution over alleged violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act. Jim walks us through the possible options of what might really be going on here.

    Islamist Attacks, Iranian Sleeper Cells, & CNN 's Soft Coverage of Terrorists | 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 Thursday's terrorist attacks in Michigan and Virginia, reports that Iran may be activating sleeper cells in the U.S., and CNN's bizarre fumbling of the facts on last weekend's attempted terrorist attack in New York City. First, they share their Friday discussion of the terrorist attacks at a synagogue in West Bloomfield, Michigan, and an ROTC class at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia. They highlight the impressive responses of synagogue security and the ROTC cadets, who prevented the respective attacks from being much deadlier. They also fume that the Virginia terrorist was let out of prison early after being convicted of providing material support to ISIS and permitted to stay in the U.S. Next, they react to U.S. intelligence reports, which claim we intercepted encrypted messages designed to activate Iranian sleeper cells in the U.S. How significant is this threat? And wouldn't now be a good time to fund the Department of Homeland Security? Then, they pull their hair out over CNN fmiserably failing to get the facts straight about last weekend's attempted terrorist attack in New York City. Even though the suspects  pledged allegiance to ISIS, CNN portrayed then as two teenagers who just happened to end up throwing bombs at demonstrators they didn't like. Finally, in the chaser of the week, they highlight Washington state Democrats passing a 9.9 percent income tax on households grossing more than a million dollars per year. While the left may relish soaking the rich, there may be some unintended consequences for people of all political stripes.

    Islamist Terrorists Strike Michigan & Virginia, Local Dem Blames Guns

    Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they examine the Islamist terrorist attacks in Michigan and Virginia, the local Virginia prosecutor who wants to blame the attack on guns, and former Texas Rep. Beto O'Rourke predicting the end of real elections and the start of unchecked fascism unless Democrats win the midterms. First, they walk through the terrorist attacks targeting Temple Israel synagogue in West Bloomfield, Michigan, and an ROTC class at Old Dominion University in Virginia. Both incidents appear to be clear cases of Islamist terrorism, bringing the total to at least four similar attacks in less than two weeks. The Virginia suspect previously served prison time for providing material support to ISIS but was released early and allowed to remain in the United States. Next, they rip Norfolk, Virginia, prosecutor Ramin Fatehi, who has jurisdiction over the Old Dominion case, for blaming the “cult of gun absolutism” rather than the extremist ideology the shooter openly expressed before the attack. Jim hammers Fatehi for attempting to shift the narrative and explains how the terrorist violated multiple existing laws at every step leading up to the shooting. Finally, they examine extreme rhetoric in American politics as Beto O’Rourke claims the upcoming midterm elections are the last barrier between freedom and endless authoritarian rule. Jim and Greg excoriate O’Rourke for using the kind of reckless political language that has motivated violence in the past.

    More Massive Blue State Fraud, as California Hospice Scandal Unfolds

    Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour host Scot Bertram fills in for Jim Geraghty on Thursday’s 3 Martini Lunch. Join Scot and Greg Corombos as they discuss the staggering amount of hospice fraud in Southern California, CNN’s repeated stumbles while reporting the New York City terrorism story, and Michigan lawmakers moving toward a mileage tax. First, they applaud CBS for reporting on hundreds of millions of dollars lost to hospice fraud, with a surprisingly large share occurring in Los Angeles County. Greg explains how the scheme harms its unwitting victims, while Scot praises CBS for pursuing the story and questions why more mainstream media outlets are not consistently investigating allegations of fraud like this. Next, they’re stunned as CNN stumbles into a third retraction and apology in less than two days over the attempted terrorist attack in New York City on Saturday. Just hours after anchor Abby Phillip apologized for falsely reporting that NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani was the target, another reporter repeated the same claim. Scot and Greg also react to a CNN commentator badly botching the Pentagon steak and lobster story. Finally, they weigh in on lawmakers in Michigan considering a mileage tax on electric semi-trailers and haulers to make up for lost gas tax revenue. While they strongly oppose government mandates pushing electric vehicles, Scot and Greg vehemently reject the idea of the government monitoring vehicles to impose a new tax or for any other purpose.
