Join Jim and Greg for 3 Martini Lunch as they react to Donald Trump's sentencing in the Stormy Daniels case, Gavin Newsom’s poor preparation and response to California wildfires, and the DEI focus of some Los Angeles Fire Department officials.
First, they discuss Donald Trump’s sentencing following his 2024 convictions in Manhattan, which resulted in an unconditional discharge. While Trump faces no actual penalty, he is now officially a convicted felon—which is what Democrats hopede to achieve with this case.
Next, they turn their attention to California Governor Gavin Newsom’s handling of the recent wildfires. Jim and Greg highlight an encounter where Newsom faced a distraught resident who lost her home and children’s school. The governor's unimpressive interaction and his even worse policies are on full display and may inflict long-term damage on his political plans.
Finally, they shake their heads at the Los Angeles Fire Department video explaining how having firefighters that look like the residents is a high priority and casually dismissing concerns about whether women firefighters could carry men out of a burning building. However, they are quick to stress that LA firefighters are working tirelessly and with great courage throughout these horrible fires. It's the leadership that doesn't always seem to be focused on what matters most.
