    Minnesota Backs Down as Tom Homan Gets Results

    Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down Tom Homan’s tremendous early success overseeing immigration enforcement in Minnesota, the challenges Republicans face heading into the midterm elections, and Melinda Gates’ telling response to new Jeffrey Epstein allegations involving her ex-husband, Bill Gates. First, they applaud Homan for restoring order in Minnesota while still delivering results. He says the federal government is downsizing its operation there by 700 personnel, noting that improved cooperation with local authorities has reduced the need for additional agents. Homan also forcefully calls out activists blocking roads in an effort to disrupt immigration enforcement. Next, they assess a string of disappointing election results for Republicans and what those outcomes signal for the GOP ahead of the midterms. Jim outlines the key issues Republicans must emphasize, particularly the cost of living, while Greg offers blunt advice to congressional Republicans to energize the base and expand their appeal to other voters. Finally, they react to Melinda Gates responding to the latest Epstein allegations involving Bill Gates, making clear she’s unconvinced by her ex-husband’s denials. While the Wall Street Journal and others argue releasing all the Epstein documents was a mistake, Jim explains why he believes Congress and the Justice Department made the right call.

    D.C. Crime Plummets While Dems Protect Crooked House Member

    Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down Washington, D.C.’s sharply declining crime numbers, troubling Trump administration rhetoric on guns, and House Democrats refusing to expel a colleague facing serious corruption charges. First, they welcome new data showing January crime rates in the nation’s capital are significantly lower than a year ago across most major categories. Jim and Greg dig into how much credit belongs to the temporary federalization of the D.C. police force and deployment of the National Guard, and how much may be due to other factors. Next, they push back on comments from U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro, who warned that anyone bringing a gun into D.C. is going to jail. While Pirro later clarified that firearms must be registered with the city. Jim and Greg still find that problematic and the wrong focus of efforts to curb crime. Finally, they react as House Democrats refuse to expel Florida Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, who is charged with stealing federal disaster relief funds to finance her campaign. Even after a blistering House Ethics Committee report, Democrats insist they won’t act unless she’s convicted. Is that the right standard?  Please visit our great sponsors: Skip the hassle and book a top-rated doctor in seconds with Zocdoc. Visit https://www.Zocdoc.com/3ML today!

    Bill Gates & Richard Branson Named in Newest Epstein File Drop

    Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they recoil at Vogue’s absurdly fawning profile of California Gov. Gavin Newsom, unpack new revelations from the latest Epstein document release, and chronicle the painfully inept responses by two big-city mayors to a few inches of snow and ice. First, they completely lose their appetites over Vogue’s glowing puff piece on Gov. Gavin Newsom, who is widely expected to run for president in 2028. The article opens by swooning over his appearance and only sinks further from there. Jim says this type of profile is the opposite of real journalism but we'll see a lot more of this as the election gets closer. Next, they dig into the latest batch of Epstein files, which include high-profile names such as Bill Gates and Richard Branson. Many of these associations reportedly continued well after Epstein’s Florida plea deal involving underage girls. Jim and Greg have zero sympathy for anyone who knowingly remained in Epstein’s orbit long after those crimes were public. Finally, Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani earn failing grades for their cities’ embarrassing responses to a few inches of snow and ice. More than a week later, many streets are barely passable, trash is piling up, and numerous D.C.-area schools are still closed.

    Don Lemon Arrested as Legal War Begins

    Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down the arrest of former CNN anchor and podcaster Don Lemon over his role in the Minnesota church invasion, a federal judge dismissing key charges against Luigi Mangione, and Washington, D.C.’s failure to control sewage or snow. First, they react to Don Lemon’s arrest following a grand jury indictment tied to the invasion of a Minnesota church earlier this month. Lemon’s defenders argue the case is a violation of his First Amendment rights as a journalist, but Jim explains why press credentials do not grant permission to violate the constitutional rights of others. Next, they’re stunned as Federal Judge Margaret Garnett dismisses two charges against Luigi Mangione, who is accused of stalking and murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in 2024. The judge ruled Mangione’s actions failed to meet the statutory definition of “use of physical force against the person of another." Jim outlines why he believes the decision is deeply flawed and likely to be appealed. Finally, they spotlight the staggering dysfunction of Washington, D.C.’s local government after roughly 300 million gallons of sewage spilled into the Potomac River over the course of a week, and the city has failed miserably to remove snow from last weekend's storm.

    Tom Homan Lays Down the Law While Dems Keep Calling ICE Nazis

    Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch as they applaud Border Czar Tom Homan for plainly explaining what ICE actually does and the clear line opponents cannot cross. They also groan as Democrats and left-wing activists keep smearing ICE as Nazis and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani pushes sweeping tax hikes. First, they welcome Tom Homan’s calm, clear breakdown of how ICE is enforcing the same immigration and deportation laws that have been on the books for decades. He also explains where activists should go if they want policy changes and what consequences await those who continue to obstruct ICE operations. Next, they scold elected Democrats, left-wing media figures, and celebrities for their reckless rhetoric comparing ICE agents to Nazis and even suggesting consequences for Americans who support President Trump’s immigration enforcement agenda. Jim and Greg also have some fun putting these people in their place. Finally, they get a kick out of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani claiming the city’s finances are worse than during the 2008 financial crisis to justify the same tax hikes on the wealthy and corporations that he pushed during the campaign. Jim points out the history of Democrats feigning shock in order to demand taking more of our money.

    Latest Gavin Newsom Failure Shows Why Voters Flee Blue States

    Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down how the Electoral College map is likely to look after the 2030 Census, another staggering policy failure under California Gov. Gavin Newsom, the Ilhan Omar incident from last night, and the 40th anniversary of the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster. First, they welcome projections showing the next U.S. Census shifting the Electoral College map in Republicans’ favor. Red states are expected to gain eight electoral votes, swing states one, while blue states lose nine. California is poised to lose four while Texas should gain four. If the projection holds, it could give GOP candidates an easier path to the White House starting n 2032. Next, they react in disbelief to a $236 million California program meant to help mentally ill individuals cycling through homelessness and jail that has reportedly helped just 22 people. Gov. Gavin Newsom insists the number is higher, but even generous estimates point to a massive failure and another example of ineffective governance in deep-blue states. Then, they discuss Rep. Ilhan Omar being confronted and having liquid squirted on her during a public forum Tuesday night. Omar was not seriously harmed and completed the event.  Finally, Jim and Greg reflect on 40 years since the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded shortly after liftoff in 1986, sharing where they were when it happened and how it became their generation’s defining national tragedy until the  9/11 terrorist attacks.

    Tim Walz & Donald Trump Cooperate As Dems Continue Funding Fight

    Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they welcome the arrival of some sanity and some protection for immigration officials in Minnesota, examine Democrats’ push to shut down the government over ICE despite one glaring flaw, and react to a bizarre NYPD investigation involving a raccoon. First, they’re pleasantly surprised to see local law enforcement finally break up protests outside a hotel where immigration agents are believed to be staying. It’s a welcome shift that may stem from President Trump’s calls with Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey. But Greg also notes Walz's very slippery language when claiming he's always cooperated in handing over criminals to ICE. Next, they roll their eyes, as Democrats seem determined to shut down the federal government again with another deadline looming. The Democrats are refusing to fund ICE but Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman is pointing out that shutting down the government won't shut down ICE. So it it would just be another political stunt. Finally, they end on a lighter note by highlighting an NYPD officer placed on modified duty while an investigation proceeds into his fatal shooting of a raccoon that was allegedly attacking people. Greg explains why he hates raccoons, and both question the wisdom of spending time and resources probing something so trivial.

    Tim Walz Compares Criminal Illegals to Anne Frank

    Join Jim and Greg on the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down Saturday’s fatal Minnesota shooting involving federal immigration agents & President Trump’s frustration with the Homeland Security response, Gov. Tim Walz making everything worse by comparing immigration officials to the Nazis, and the despicable Slate attack on Second Lady Usha Vance. First, they piece together the facts surrounding the Customs and Border Protection-involved shooting of anti-ICE protester Alex Pretti in Minneapolis and some of the bad decisions Pretti made that morning. They also highlight clearly incorrect statements from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem that ascribed sinister motives to Pretti. President Trump appears unhappy with het response and is putting Border Czar Tom Homan in charge of the operation. Next, they unload on Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz for comparing illegal immigrants fearing arrest and deportation by immigration officials to Anne Frank hiding from the Nazis. Jim and Greg argue this reckless and historically ignorant comparison only inflames tensions by equating lawful federal agents with history’s greatest monsters. Finally, they hammer a Slate author for her ugly, unhinged essay ripping Second Lady Usha Vance for having another baby with Vice President JD Vance. Jim comments on the unhealthy obsession many seem to have with the Vance marriage and other high-profile political couples.
