Josh Shapiro pushing a proven policy failure to improve the cost of living, Texas Democrats wanting to pursue high-speed rail, and Sec. Pete Hegseth's party getting reprimanded by a guard at Arlington National Cemetery.First, they discuss the ouster of Jensen Huang as President & CEO of Nvidia. In addition to his reckless and stupid extra-marital affair with a suspect spy from the Chinese Communist Party, they they consider the national security impact from Huang's actions.Next, they shake their heads as Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro declares that he will pursue a significant hike in the state minimum wage once Democrats control both chambers of the legislature next year. Jim explains yet again why raising the minimum wage cannot make the cost of living easier and will almost certainly make things more expensive.Then, they track another tired, lefty fever dream as Democrats in Texas pursue high-speed rail from Dallas to San Antonio. Jim and Greg look at the complete boondoogle high-speed rail turned out to be in California and why it's almost certainly a terrible idea in Texas as well.Finally, they react to a guard at the Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington National Cemetery scolding Sec. Pete Hegseth and his group for getting too loud while taking photos on Veterans Day.Please visit our great sponsors:Incognihttps://Incogni.com/3MLTake control of your digital footprint with Incogni today.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they dig into New Jersey Dem Congressman-Elect Adam Hamawy refusing to call Iran an adversary, Joe Biden claiming his 2024 debate disaster was "not consequential," some Maine voters already feeling buyers remorse over defeating Susan Collins, and D.C. Metro's ridiculous plan to raise revenue.First, they shudder as Hamawy insists the U.S. is just as much to blame for the problems with Iran despite Iran waging war against us for 47 years. Jim unloads on Hamawy's pathetic talking points.Next, they get a kick out Joe Biden claiming that his debate performance against President Trump two years ago was "not consequential." Jim and Greg look back at 2024 and how its impossible to see the debate as anything other than a political nightmare for Biden.Then, they shake their heads as some people up in Maine are starting to realize the state won't be bringing in nearly as much federal money since they just fired the the chairwoman of the Senate Appropriations Committee.Finally, they groan as the Washington-area public transportation system comes up withe the worst possible plan to raise more money because people just aren't paying fares on buses and trains.Please visit our great sponsors:Incognihttps://Incogni.com/3MLTake control of your digital footprint with Incogni today.

Join Greg and guest host Charlie Cooke for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they focus on Cooke's recent debate comments on immigrants bent on denigrating and drastically changing our nation, Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie lodging impeachment charges against Sec. Pete Hegseth, Sen. Mitch McConnell awkwardly refusing to respond to reporters's questions, and the absurdity of multiple Senate and House races that still haven't been called.First, they discuss Charlie's recent debate on immigration and his argument that it should be a no-brainer to deny entry to anyone who hates America or wants to radically change us. And he says any non-citizens already here who act that way should be kicked out. Next, they look at the eight impeachment articles lodged by Massie against Hegseth. They scratch their heads as most of them are related to actions ordered by President Trump. Charlie also offers other reasons why Massie's effort here are off the mark.Then, they watch painful footage of Sen. McConnell unwilling or unable to answer reporters' questions on Capitol Hill. Charlie and Greg wonder why he's still there since a Republican successor was just elected. They also offer their insights on McConnell's legacy in the Senate.Finally, they find it it thoroughly unacceptable that Mississippi and Alaska have no final U.S. Senate results yet and have made painfully little progress in counting votes over the past week.Please visit our great sponsors:Incognihttps://Incogni.com/3MLTake control of your digital footprint with Incogni today.

Join Greg and guest host Chris Scalia for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they consider Pres. Trump saying he wants to legalize some people who came to the U.S. illegally, the Democrats likely pursuing the completion of their plan to circumvent the Electoral College, Stephen Miller replacing Susie Wiles as Trump's Chief of Staff, and Trump's post that he offered the White House Press Secretary job to Dana White of UFC.First, they react to Trump telling 60 Minutes that he'd like to get an immigration deal with Democrats next year that would include granting legal status to people in the country for 10-15 years or more if they haven't committed a crime since coming here illegally. Is Trump serious? Greg & Chris explain why it shouldn't happen and why it probably won't.Next, they groan as Democrats gained enough power in enough states to complete their quest to make the winner of the popular vote - and not the Electoral College - the victor in presidential elections. Chris and Greg explain why this is a horrible idea and why the scheme is unlikely to survive court challenges.Then, they react to Susie Wiles resigning as White House Chief of Staff and President Trump replacing her with Stephen Miler. Chris explains the strategy behind the move and they briefly address accusations against Wiles by a member of the MAHA movement, and the media's double standard on Wiles.Finally, they consider Trump's social media post that he offered the job of White House Press Secretary to UFC boss Dana White. Trump later said he was joking. Chris and Greg discuss that and who from similar businesses would make for an entertaining press secretary.American Enterprise Institute Senior Fellow Christopher J. Scalia, who is also author of 13 Novels Conservatives Will Love (But Probably Haven't Read), is in for Jim Geraghty today.Please visit our great sponsors:Incognihttps://Incogni.com/3MLTake control of your digital footprint with Incogni today.

A look at the political fallout from sweeping Democratic midterm victories, the gridlock awaiting Washington, and the 2028 race already taking shape. The discussion also tackles Tucker Carlson’s explosive Iran nuclear warning, proposals for steeper estate and wealth taxes, and Virginia’s bizarre decision to restore voting rights to a dog that died five years ago.

Craig Coglianese, a radio host and political commentator, joins Jim Garrity for a lively look at Tennessee’s Senate succession, Pete Hegseth’s future at the Pentagon, and Donald Trump’s response to market losses and midterm setbacks. They also examine White House pressure on conservative groups and Tesla’s troubled Cybertruck, from its polarizing design to weak demand.

Craig Coglianese, a Houston-based radio host and political commentator, joins Jim Garrity to discuss Samuel Alito staying on the Supreme Court, JD Vance blaming Iran for Republican midterm losses, and the wider forces behind the GOP wipeout. They examine Mississippi’s tight Senate race, shifting competition in red states, and veteran-made swords for home defense.

A sweeping Democratic victory leaves Republicans confronting losses across Congress, statehouses, and the party’s candidate pipeline. The discussion examines the impact of inflation, war, tariffs, and Donald Trump’s messaging, plus the gridlock and investigations ahead in Washington. Attention then turns to the 2028 presidential race and conservative bright spots in key ballot measures.

Jim and Greg dissect a parade of midterm election drama, from Hillary Clinton and Kara Swisher’s conspiracy fears to Westchester County’s countywide ballot-scanner failure. They also weigh Tucker Carlson’s alarming prediction about a possible nuclear strike on Iran and poke fun at Ana Navarro’s baffling campaign argument about meat prices.

Haley Stevens shocks Democrats by endorsing Republican Mike Rogers, sparking a furious backlash.
