3 Martini Lunch

Inez Stepman of the Independent Women's Forum and host of the "High Noon" podcast is in for Jim. Today, Inez and Greg welcome a federal judge strongly rejecting the Biden administration's rewrite of Title IX, wonder if Republicans will be able to punch back effectively on abortion anytime soon, and laugh as the left says election results they don't like are a threat to democracy.First, they applaud the federal court ruling that the Biden administration's efforts to redefine "sex" in Title IX to enshrine the left's gender identity agenda and evisceration of due process rights clearly guts the intent of Title IX and also violates the constitutional requirement for such changes to come through Congress.They also note Thursday's Supreme Court decision dodging the merits of the case on the FDA and abortifacients and consider whether Republicans are ever going to get out of the political starting blocks on this issue nearly two years after the Dobbs decision. Inez says Americans are suddenly having to exercise political muscles that had atrophied since Roe v. Wade and Republicans were caught flat-footed by their own victory.Finally, they shake their heads as leftists in Europe and the U.S. try to argue that victories by "far right" parties in Europe are a "threat to democracy," noting how the left now casually labels any result of policy they don't like as imperiling democracy.Please visit our great sponsor:Field of Greenshttps://fieldofgreens.comUse code 3ML to save 15% and get FREE shipping.

Inez Stepman of the Independent Women's Forum and host of the "High Noon" podcast is in for Jim today. Inez and Greg discuss the chilling revelation of how easily eight terrorism suspects entered the U.S. at our southern border, President Biden's obvious gaslighting over inflation, and MSNBC's claims that Hunter Biden's convictions are a major political setback for Donald Trump.First, they shudder at multiple reports detailing how eight men from Tajikistan easily entered the U.S. at our southern border and were later allegedly caught conspiring to commit acts of terrorism. Inez discusses how the border has devolved into "security theater" and how there has been a big, troubling shift in where these people are coming from.Next, they sigh as President Biden tries to spin a tiny decrease in year-over-year inflation as significant news and especially how he is trying to blame grocery stores for the high prices. It's complete fiction, but Inez warns critics not to underestimate the appeal Biden's fake blue collar messaging might still have with some voters.Finally, they get a kick out MSNBC's Chuck Todd insisting that Hunter Biden was dealt with more harshly than other Americans facing the same charges because he is the president's son. And he asserts that the guilty verdict is further proof that there is no merit to Trump's argument that Biden's DOJ is waging lawfare against him.Please visit our great sponsor:Field of Greenshttps://fieldofgreens.comUse code 3ML to save 15% and get FREE shipping.  

Today, Jim and Greg open the discussion by toasting a martini to Hunter Biden's recent convictions, but then they have to contend with President Biden's complete failure to accomplish anything down at the border, as well as Rep. Ocasio-Cortez's apparent attempt at damage control for the rampant anti-Semitism among pro-Palestinian activists.First, they celebrate Hunter Biden's guilty verdict on all counts, which only took the jury a few hours to decide. They go through the indisputable evidence of the the case and point out how this verdict makes clear that no one is above the law, no matter how much influence the Biden family has in Delaware.Next, they tear into the implementation of Biden's executive order, which has more holes than Swiss cheese. In particular, they dissect a memo ordering Border Patrol agents in SanDiego to release illegal immigrants from all but six countries, showing how Biden's executive order has done nothing to change the entrenched catch-and-release policies that take the teeth out of border security.Finally, they scratch their heads as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez claims that accusing "people of color" of anti-Semitism is racist. Jim wonders whether columnist and Twitter commentator Stephen Miller is right in speculating that AOC wishes she were an activist instead of a congresswoman.Please visit our great sponsors:Field of Greenshttps://fieldofgreens.comUse code 3ML to save 15% and get FREE shipping.  Omaha Steakshttps://omahasteaks.comVisit OmahaSteaks.com to get Father’s Day packages starting at $89 with code MARTINI.

Today, Jim and Greg discuss the wonderfully successful hostage rescue operation by the Israel Defense Forces, the unpunished criminal activity of pro-Palestinian protestors in front of the White House this weekend, and the disheartening phenomenon of young progressives pushing off having children until it's too late.First, they celebrate the IDF's triumphant rescue of several hostages from Gaza. They criticize those whose first reaction to the news is to look for the negatives, and they examine the flaws in the Biden administration's naive plan to establish peace in the Arab world.Next, they point out the inconsistencies in how left and right-leaning protestors are treated when they break the law. This weekend, pro-Palestinian protestors vandalized sculptures in Lafayette Square and threw projectiles at National Park Service employees along with the Secret Service, but none of the perpetrators have been arrested.Finally, they discuss the disturbing trend of young progressives putting off or avoiding having children in greater and greater numbers. They point out the necessity of taking on responsibility and bringing forth the next generation, and how facing the challenges of parenthood is ultimately much more rewarding than eternal adolescence.Please visit our great sponsors:Field of Greenshttps://fieldofgreens.comUse code 3ML to save 15% and get FREE shipping.  Omaha Steakshttps://omahasteaks.comVisit OmahaSteaks.com to get Father’s Day packages starting at $89 with code MARTINI.

Today, Jim and Greg discuss Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin divorcing Virginia from California's EV standards, what the latest job report does and doesn't tell us about the state of the economy, and the sad, steady decline of the Star Wars franchise and Hollywood products in general.First, they react to Gov. Youngkin's announcement that Virginia will no longer follow California's EV policies, jumping ship as California changes their regulations. They criticize the law that tied Virginia's policy to California's in the first place, and they celebrate this victory for consumer choice.Next, they analyze the May jobs report, which boasts of 272,000 new jobs, though unemployment is now at four percent. Jim warns that, whatever the trends in job creation and unemployment may be, the real economic problem to watch out for is inflation.Finally, they lament the deterioration in quality of the more recent Star Wars movies and series. They roll their eyes at the latest series being rolled out, Acolyte, whose stars promise that it will be "the gayest" Star Wars series yet.

Today, Jim and Greg toast three crazy martinis to our chaotic political landscape. They discuss the ridiculous theory Laurence Tribe is pushing, which states that Donald Trump's recent convictions means Hillary should have been the winner of the 2016 election; Hillary Clinton's embarrassing attempt to politicize D-Day; and the surprising party switch of Sen. Bob Menendez, which comes with an even bigger surprise behind it.First, they delve into legendary Harvard law professor Laurence Tribe promulgating the idea that Donald Trump's felony convictions invalidate the results of the 2016 election, and his accompanying lament of all that could have been had Hillary Clinton ascended to the presidency instead. Jim gives Tribe credit for pushing the least plausible argument for doubting the results of the 2016 election, pointing out that, long before this recent conviction, voters were aware of Trump's long record of dubious moral behavior.Next, they roll their eyes at Hillary Clinton's D-Day tweet, which compares those who vote to "save democracy" to the military heroes of 1944. They point out that voting in a free country is very obviously not the same as risking your life in battle, and they observe that Democrats only value democracy insofar as it gets them the election results they want.Finally, they unpack New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez running as an independent, allegedly so that he can angle for a presidential pardon no matter who is president after the next election. Jim and Greg are a little dubious as to whether this plan will be successful.Please visit our great sponsor:Omaha Steakshttps://omahasteaks.comVisit OmahaSteaks.com to get the Deluxe Father’s Day Gift for just $89.99 plus 4 Free Burgers with code MARTINI.

Today, Jim and Greg discuss Texas Rep. Chip Roy's unrelenting takedown of Attorney General Merrick Garland's border security record, Biden's useless new executive order to limit border crossings, and Joe Scarborough's dubious assertion that Joe Biden is sharper than any House Speaker over the past 30 years.First, they applaud Texas Rep. Chip Roy for taking Attorney General Merrick Garland to task for trying to excuse the egregious lack of enforcement at the border and pin the blame on a lack of funds. Jim says for Garland to blame the problem on a lack of funding is insulting.Next, they explain why President Biden's executive order that supposedly tightens border security has no teeth because there are so many loopholes that nothing really changes.Finally, Jim has little patience for MSNBC's Joe Scarborough trying to rebut a Wall Street Journal story about Biden's cognitive decline by claiming that Biden is mentally sharper than every Speaker of the House over the past 30 years.Please visit our great sponsors:Omaha Steakshttps://omahasteaks.comVisit OmahaSteaks.com to get the Deluxe Father’s Day Gift for just $89.99 plus 4 Free Burgers with code MARTINI.

Join Greg and Jim as they discuss Fauci's ugly bullying behind the vaccine mandates Covid mandates, Mexico’s recent election of another far-left leader and the potentially big implications for the U.S., and Biden’s claim that Israel’s war with Hamas is unnecessarily being prolonged to keep Netanyahu in power. First, they unload for the second straight day on former NIH official Anthony Fauci, who was sold as a symbol of trust to the American people. They specifically target comments exposed during Monday's hearings in which Fauci is heard saying they needed to threaten people trying to get an education or a job (or keep one) that they had to get the COVID vaccination. Fauci further said when you apply that kind of pressure, people have no choice but to abandon their ideologies and beliefs. Then, amid a swirl of breaking news, the Mexican presidential campaign and election went mostly unnoticed, until Claudia Sheinbaum was easily elected the new president. Sheinbaum, Mexico’s first female and Jewish president, ran on a platform of continuing former President Lopez Obrador’s policies and of expanding the government and consolidating power. The election, coming in conjunction with Biden’s proposed border control, could have big implications for the United States relations and trade with Mexico. Finally, after supporting Israel for months, Biden turned tail and claimed that the prolonged war against Gaza is a power grab for Netanyahu and an attempt to occupy Gaza completely. Biden says that Hamas is no longer capable of carrying out another October 7th attack, and so, enough is enough. Biden claims that the war in Gaza is as bad as the American occupation in Iraq and Afghanistan and is unnecessary. 

Join Jim and Greg as they have a lot to say about Hunter Biden finally facing federal charges, Dr. Anthony Fauci admitting some of the most repressive COVID restrictions were not based on science at all, and the Justice Department saying we can't hear the audio of President Biden's conversation with the special counsel because of concern over artificial intelligence "deepfakes."First, they're glad that Hunter Biden is finally facing federal charges for lying about his drug use on federal forms when buying a gun years ago. They also pull no punches in response to the excuse that Biden's legal team offered for why Hunter should not be held responsible for lying about his drug use on the forms.Next, they skewer Dr. Anthony Fauci after the former NIH head of allergies and infectious diseases admits to lawmakers that the six-foot social distancing rule and the decision to mandate the masking of kids was not based on science. And Fauci still disputes whether closing schools and extended online learning and mandatory masking stunted kids' educational progress.Finally, they blast the Justice Department for the utterly stupid explanation that it cannot release the audio of President Biden's interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur over Biden's mishandling of classified documents. The DOJ insists that it must keep the audio under wraps because there is great concern that bad actors could create artificial intelligence "deepfakes" of Biden using the audio.
