3 Martini Lunch

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome Virginia's investigation of a domestic Islamic organization over possible ties to terrorist organizations. They urge a full and honest probe but Jim also explains why he's not fretting over the public relations impact on the group in the meantime.They also fume over the ongoing dearth of coverage of the approximately 10 American hostages still held by Hamas nearly a month after the attack. And now we also learn that Hamas refuses to let some 600 American residents leave Gaza without major concessions. Why are media outlets so quiet about these Americans being held against their will?Finally, they look ahead to next week's off-year elections in several states and wonder whether Democrats can win by talking almost exclusively about abortion and when Republicans will start defending their positions more effectively.Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.com/martiniCatch the deal of the day before it is gone!After Deathhttps://angel.com/threemartinilunchNow in theaters.

Join Jim and Greg as they react to an odd encounter Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman had with one of his voters - a voter who was shoved outside by a staffer after demanding an answer about a Middle East ceasefire. They also wince as FBI Director Christopher Wray warns of Hamas-inspired terrorist attacks against Americans - similar to the ISIS-inspired attacks from several years ago. And Jim breaks down how anti-Semites convince themselves that the demonization of Jews justifies any horrible deed in their minds.Finally, they hammer Politico for running a ridiculous story investigating whether Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis likely places lifts into his boots to appear slightly taller. And Jim explains how this type of "journalism" has made our country and our politics dumber.Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.com/martiniCatch the deal of the day before it is gone!

Jim Geraghty is a bit weary but he's back from Taiwan! Join Jim and Greg as they discuss former Vice President Mike Pence announcing that he is suspending his presidential campaign and former President Trump saying he expects a Pence endorsement.They also shudder as a predominantly-Muslim mob of Russians in Dagestan swarm an airport trying to get their hands on Jewish people. Jim says that last week we witnessed "the American intifada" on U.S. college campuses and it's obvious there are plenty of others around the world who feel the same hatred.Finally, they serve up a double crazy martini over Rep. Dean Phillips challenging President Biden for the Democratic presidential nomination. It's crazy because very few Americans know who Phillips is but the reaction on the left that this new campaign is a threat to democracy is also insane.Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.com/martiniCatch the deal of the day before it is gone!

Former Chief Assistant U.S. Attorney and National Review Contributing Editor Andy McCarthy is in for Jim, who will be back on Monday. Today, Andy and Greg cheer the U.S. strikes against Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps sites in Syria following multiple drone attacks against U.S. forces in the region last week. But Andy is very concerned that the Biden administration refuses to get tough with Iran, who is clearly collaborating with Hamas, Russia, and the Chinese. Andy also breaks down the open letter from Sen. Chuck Grassley alleging that dozens of whistleblowers have told him the FBI and Justice Department are refusing to follow up on key evidence of the Biden family corruption and are actively trying to bury it all.Finally, Andy walks us through the incredibly generous deal offered to New York Rep. Jamal Bowman for intentionally pulling a fire alarm to delay a House vote late last month. New video proves Bowman's story to date is false. Andy explains why Bowman should have been charged with disrupting a congressional proceeding and why this sweetheart deal of a $1,000 fine and the charge not staying on his record permanently was done.Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.com/martiniCatch the deal of the day before it is gone!

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour Host Scot Bertram is in for Jim. Today, Scot and Greg open with a somber update on the horrific mass shootings in Maine last night and noting that we finally have a new Speaker of the House.Then they serve up their martinis, starting with the unsurprising revelations that parents in states with new school choice laws are loving the freedom to choose the right schools for their kids and use their own tax dollars to pay for it through vouchers. And of course the left is furious,They also chronicle the onslaught of anti-Semitism that is only intensifying on many college campuses - from students at the University of Washington calling for the end of Israel and Zionists to a Northwetern University professor cheering on and accommodating demonstrators who cut class to the terrifying scene at Cooper Union in New York City, where Jewish students had to be locked in the library to protect them from a pro-Hamas protest that was banging on the doors and screaming at them.Finally, they fume over the thoroughly predictable debt catastrophe that is already bad and about to get MUCH worse. And both parties are to blame.Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.com/martiniCatch the deal of the day before it is gone!

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour Host Scot Bertram is in for Jim. Today, Scot and Greg muse over the latest twists and turns in the House Speaker race as Louisiana Rep. Mike Johnson seems to be in position to get elected by his fellow Republicans today. Then it's on to the martinis! First, they welcome a strong majority of New York voters agreeing with NYC Mayor Eric Adams that the illegal migrant crisis is going to destroy the city. And they overwhelmingly disapprove of how the Biden administration is handling the issue. They also recoil at the news Iranian proxies have launched drone attacks at U.S. positions in Syria and Iraq, injuring two dozen U.S. personnel. And they're also mad that the government kept this information from the public for a week. Finally, they scold the Associated Press and taxpayer-funded Voice of America for telling their reporters not to refer to Hamas as terrorists.Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.com/martiniCatch the deal of the day before it is gone!

Inez Stepman of the Independent Women's Forum and host of the "High Noon" podcast is in for Jim. Today, Inez and Greg walk through the latest House Republican drama over another vote for Speaker of the House and another "winner" who probably can't get the job. They also go over multiple polls showing a sharp divide by age over whether the Hamas terrorist attacks against Israel were justified and whether Israel's military response to Hamas is justified. And Inez says the results shuld not shock anyone. Finally, they assess White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre dodging a question about concerns over rising anti-Semitism and focusing instead on concerns over threats to Muslims.Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.com/martiniFree shipping on orders more than $97

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour Host Scot Bertram is in for Jim. Before today's martinis, Scot and Greg mull over the latest round of Speaker of the House roulette on the GOP side and whether any of the nine new candidates can get to 217 votes. Then they throw up their hands as the New York Times rehires a photojournalist is suspended just last year for blatantly pro-Hitler social media posts. His assignment now? Cover the Israel-Hamas war of course. They also shudder as U.S. Customs and Border Protection releases a letter explaining high levels of concern that radical Islamic fighters may be in this country or headed here thanks to our porous southern border. Finally, they fume as Oregon state officials no longer require student to show a basic mastery of reading, writing, or math to graduate from high school - saying it's unfair to "historically marginalized students."Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.com/martiniFree shipping on orders more than $97

Ricochet.com Editor-in-Chief Jon Gabriel is in for Jim. Today, Jon and Greg express their frustrations over the GOP's intraparty food fight that has no obvious end in sight. Although they are pleased that the Republicans can at least agree for now not to make any deals with Democrats. They also cringe as a top Biden national security official says he is confident that Hamas will not interfere with $100 million of U.S. aid to the Palestinian people because they "have an understanding." And they remind us where we've heard very similar language before. Finally, they shake their heads as more than 400 congressional staffers write an open letter demanding that lawmakers insist upon a cease-fire in the Middle East - but all of them refuse to sign the letter instead of standing behind their words.Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.comUse code MARTINI to get 10% off your purchase.

Join Jim and Greg as they serve up three lousy martinis. First, they shudder as 30-year mortgage interest rates hit eight percent, meaning monthly payments on a $400,000 home are now $1,000 more expensive per month than they were just two years ago. They also hammer Health and Human Services Sec. Xavier Becerra for pushing for a "universal system of public health" even though he admits the Constitution doesn't allow it. He thinks it's bad that different states could set different policies during the COVID pandemic and he wants more power over your life to address climate change. Then, they slam Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib for repeating the debunked Hamas propaganda about Israel bombing a hospital in Gaza. Finally, on a more positive note, they observe an important milestone and make an announcement about the next couple of weeks.Please visit our great sponsor:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.comUse code MARTINI to get 10% off your purchase.
