They also discuss the many conflicting conclusions about the mysterious drones over New Jersey and analyze how Trump seems to be getting even closer to Big Labor.First, Jim and Greg have some fun at the expense of ABC News and George Stephanopoulos after the network agrees to pay $16 million to settle Trump’s defamation lawsuit.

Elizabeth Warren’s controversial reaction to the murder of UnitedHealth CEO Brian Thompson.First, they thoroughly enjoy watching Manchin and Sinema derail a key Biden nominee to the National Labor Relations Board, as the Democrats attempted to block the GOP from having a majority on that panel for another two years.

Join Jim and Greg as they tackle Americans' overwhelming rejection of President Biden pardoning his son, Sen. Adam Schiff's sudden shift on political prosecutions, and a mysterious phenomenon in the New Jersey sky.They kick off with an AP poll revealing just 22% of Americans support a Hunter Biden pardon. Opposition is strong across party lines, with independents and even many Democrats hesitant to back the move.Next, they call out new California Sen.

Jim also says Schiff has yet to pay any significant price for grossly misleading the American people during the Russia probe.Finally, they delve into the strange sightings in the New Jersey sky. With drones or drone-like objects puzzling locals, the FBI and military both say they don't know what's happening.

Join Jim and Greg on 3 Martini Lunch as they breathe a sigh of relief over the Daniel Penny verdict, condemn Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s disastrous impact on public safety, and unpack the shocking story of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s alleged killer.First, they applaud the New York City jury for acquitting Daniel Penny of criminally negligent homicide after he restrained a threatening subway passenger. Jim and Greg argue that Penny, who acted as a Good Samaritan, should never have faced charges and are relieved he won’t face imprisonment for protecting others.First, they're very glad to see a New York City jury acquit Daniel Penny on a charge of criminally negligent homicide after restraining a man on the subway who had been threatening and menacing numerous passengers. Penny should never have faced charges and should have been commended for his actions, but at least he won't be incarcerated for being a Good Samaritan.Next, they criticize media outlets for badly misrepresenting the facts of the Penny case and spotlight the head of Black Lives Matter in New York City for calling for black vigilantes. Despite Penny’s acquittal, they warn that Alvin Bragg’s actions as district attorney discourage people from intervening to protect their neighbors, leaving New Yorkers less safe.Finally, they react to the arrest of Luigi Mangione, the Ivy League graduate accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. They discuss how the details of the case contradict widespread assumptions and condemn commentators who justify or celebrate the murder due to grievances with health insurance practices.Please visit our great sponsors:Lumenhttps://lumen.me/3MLVisit Lumen.me/3ML for 15% off your purchase.NetSuitehttps://NetSuite.com/MARTINIDownload your FREE CFO’s Guide to AI and Machine Learning at NetSuite.com/MARTINIOmaha Steakshttps://omahasteaks.comSave 50% off sitewide during the Christmas gift buying season and be sure to use promo codeTHREE ML for an extra $30 off.

Join Jim and Greg on 3 Martini Lunch as they explore the collapse of the Assad regime in Syria, weighing its upsides and potential dangers. They also dive into why DC-area drivers rank among the worst in the nation, offering some humorous observations.First, they celebrate the end of the Assad regime, marking the conclusion of more than 50 years of brutality and oppression. They discuss how Assad’s fall weakens Iran and undermines its terrorist allies in the Middle East. This is also a big embarrassment for Russia. While President Biden tries to claim credit, Jim and Greg provide a dose of reality on who deserves recognition.Next, they analyze the troubling implications of Assad’s downfall. The rebel coalition includes extremist leaders with close ties to Al Qaeda and ISIS, raising serious doubts about the possibility of a moderate or democratic future in Syria. They also highlight the danger of the U.S. supporting groups with such alarming histories and intentions.Finally, they lighten the mood with a new Lending Tree report showing that DC-area drivers are among the worst in the nation - especially in the District of Columbia and in Maryland - when it comes to speeding, accidents, drunk driving and more.

Join Jim and Greg on 3 Martini Lunch as they wrap up the week with three crazy martinis: Biden’s pardon of Hunter hurting his library funding, the 2020 census unfairly aiding Democrats, and reports of Biden being urged to consider more pre-emptive pardons.First, they discuss Democratic donors expressing outrage over President Biden pardoning his son, warning it could drastically impact contributions to Biden’s future presidential library. These same Democrats suggest Biden should temper his expectations for the size and scope of the library project. Meanwhile, Jim wonders what achievements Biden could even highlight from his presidency.Next, they shake their heads as a new congressional report concludes the 2020 U.S. Census overcounted in several mostly blue states and undercounted in several mostly red states, meaning the Democrats have a slightly unfair advantage in the congressional map and the Electoral College. The numbers are further impacted because the Trump administration was barred from asking whether residents were citizens.Finally, Jim and Greg are alarmed by reports that Biden aides are urging him to issue additional pre-emptive pardons for figures like Dr. Anthony Fauci, Liz Cheney, and Adam Schiff. They debate the potential fallout and Jim even suggests a constitutional amendment might be necessary to prevent abuse of presidential pardon powers.Please visit our great sponsors:Omaha Steakshttps://omahasteaks.comSave 50% off sitewide during the Christmas gift buying season and be sure to use promo code THREE ML for an extra $30 off.  Oraclehttps://oracle.com/martiniSee if your company qualifies 50% off your cloud bill at oracle.com/martini.  Offer ends 12/31/24.  Zbioticshttps://zbiotics.com/3MLUse code 3ML at checkout to save 15% off your first order.

Scarsi accuses Biden of misrepresenting key facts, undermining his own appointees by alleging political persecution, and potentially issuing an unconstitutional pardon.Next, they dive into new allegations against Pete Hegseth, Trump’s pick for Secretary of Defense, involving claims of misconduct during his time at Fox News and his leadership at Concerned Veterans for America. Hegseth's defenders point out that all of the new allegations are based on anonymous sources and his former colleagues are eagerly going on the record to defend him.

On Tuesday's 3 Martini Lunch, Jim and Greg dissect the fallout from President Biden’s sweeping pardon of Hunter Biden, highlighting Democratic efforts to reshape the narrative, late-night comedy jabs, and the ongoing deception from Biden's allies.First, they credit Brianna Keilar of CNN for grilling outspoken New York Rep. Dan Goldman over his previous claim that Biden respected the justice system too much to pardon his son. When Goldman attempts to misrepresent the facts, Keilar doesn’t let him off the hook.They also delve into Jon Stewart's sharp critique of the Bidens and the Democrats, spotlighting their blatant hypocrisy. Stewart also points out that the pardon extends well beyond the issues Hunter Biden faced in court. Jim and Greg argue the timing of left-wing entertainers targeting the Bidens is more strategic than principled.Lastly, Jim and Greg discuss White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre's insistence that Biden didn’t lie about his stance on a pardon, despite evidence to the contrary. They also criticize her for singling out a National Review reporter who highlighted an NBC report exposing Biden’s long-considered plan to pardon his son.Please visit our great sponsors:Omaha Steakshttps://omahasteaks.comSave 50% off sitewide during the Christmas gift buying season and be sure to use promo codeTHREE ML for an extra $30 off.Oraclehttps://oracle.com/martiniSee if your company qualifies 50% off your cloud bill at oracle.com/martini.

Jim and Greg are back from Thanksgiving and are ready to rip into President Biden for his lying and brazenly bogus logic for pardoning his son. They also dissect the latest carnage in Syria and Trump's choice of Kash Patel to lead the FBI.First, they vent over Biden’s very predictable yet inexcusable pardon of his son, Hunter Biden. After repeatedly insisting he would never pardon him, Biden now asserts that Hunter was a victim of unfair political persecution. And the pardon covers a span of more than 10 years. We've got a lot to say about this one!Next, they analyze the ongoing conflict in Syria, where rebel forces are seizing large territories, and some believe Bashar al-Assad’s regime may be coming to an end. But Jim and Greg point out that there are no clear "good guys" in this fight, which also includes Russia and Iran.Finally, they discuss Trump’s choice of Kash Patel to lead the FBI and the left’s full-blown freakout over the nomination. Can Patel get confirmed? What has he promised to do in such a role? Jim and Greg also discuss how the Hunter Biden pardon may make life easier for Patel in the long run.Please visit our great sponsors:Omaha Steakshttps://omahasteaks.comSave 50% off sitewide during the Christmas gift buying season and be sure to use promo code THREE ML for an extra $30 off.  Oraclehttps://oracle.com/martiniSee if your company qualifies 50% off your cloud bill at oracle.com/martini.  Offer ends 12/31/24.  Zbioticshttps://zbiotics.com/3MLUse code 3ML at checkout to save 15% off your first order.

Happy Thanksgiving! We are very thankful for you, our listeners, and for the chance to spend Thanksgiving with our families. Today, we look back at how Jim and Greg sized up Trump's win and Kamala's loss three weeks ago. First, they examine Donald Trump's stunning political comeback and why Americans chose to return him to the White House with a far more convincing victory than he had eight years ago. And while volumes will be written about this, Jim and Greg suggest Trump simply talked about what voters cared about most and in a way that made them trust him more to tackle the big problems.Then, they go through a litany of issues that plagued the Harris campaign, from the way Dems shoved Joe Biden aside and nominated Harris without a primary to Kamala's flip-flopping and inability to answer questions to her very bad choice of Tim Walz as her running mate.Lastly, they consider who else comes out of this election season as big winners or losers. They aim a lot of their criticism at the shameless partisanship of the mainstream media, and the election results prove people no longer buy into their hysterical coverage. They also call out the elite Democrats like Barack Obama who orchestrated the ouster of Biden and spent the final weeks scolding people for not liking Harris enough. As for the winners, Greg points out another billionaire who had a very good Tuesday night and Jim gives credit to the man who might have reversed the momentum in favor of the Trump campaign.

Join Jim and Greg as they reveal what they are politically thankful for with just a few weeks remaining in 2024. First, they both find things to be very thankful for concerning the last election, both in terms of what happened that night and what won't be happening because of the results.Next, they turn their attention to the role of the media in the 2024 campaign but from opposite perspective. Jim's examines the huge impact made by a prominent voice on the left, while Greg is grateful for what the mainstream media failed to accomplish this year.Finally, in a year of major change, Jim is very grateful for something that didn't happen in 2024 while Greg is happy about some political developments closer to home.As always, we are extremely thankful for our listeners!

Join Jim and Greg on 3 Martini Lunch as they unpack Kamala Harris’s plans for a political comeback, heightened tensions with Russia following a cargo plane crash, and Bill Clinton’s tiresome excuses for Hillary’s 2016 loss.First, they analyze reports that Kamala Harris is eyeing a 2026 California gubernatorial run or another presidential bid in 2028. Jim highlights the crowded field of Democrats for governor and skepticism from national Democrats after Harris’s underwhelming 2024 performance.Next, they note the crash of a DHL cargo jet in Lithuania. The disaster comes just a few weeks after intelligence officials revealed concerns that Russia was plotting to attack passenger planes and was experimenting with incendiary devices on cargo planes in preparation. Jim suggests this is Putin's way of escalating tensions during a presidential transition.Finally, they get a kick out of Bill Clinton insisting that the only reason Trump beat Hillary eight years ago was because of then-FBI Director Jim Comey and the lingering Hillary Clinton email investigation. Jim also outlines the depths of Bill's hypocrisy when it comes to Trump and explains why the Clintons will never get over losing in 2016.Please visit our great sponsors:Omahahttps://omahasteaks.comVisit OmahaSteaks.com and save 50% sitewide plus get an extra $30 off with promo code 3ML and a $30 reward card when you shop early.  Minimum purchase may apply.

Join Jim and Greg on 3 Martini Lunch as they break down two bad martinis and a crazy one to kick off the week. They dig into two controversial Trump cabinet picks, a razor-thin GOP House majority, and the State Department's taxpayer-funded therapy sessions after Trump’s win.First, they assess Trump’s latest cabinet picks, praising Russ Vought for Office of Management and Budget and Dr. Marty Makary for the Food and Drug Administration, while expressing major concerns about Lori Chavez-DeRemer as Secretary of Labor due to her anti-Right to Work stance and Scott Bessent for Treasury, given his ties to George Soros.Next, they analyze the very narrow House Republican majority in the coming Congress, with three races still unresolved and three looming GOP vacancies. They explain why this slim margin leaves little room for defections or other unexpected setbacks over the next two years.Finally, they react to reports of the State Department hosting therapy sessions, including a "cry session," for employees struggling to cope with Trump’s victory—on the taxpayers’ dime. Jim calls for lefties to gain a little perspective on dealing with election results, while Greg suggests clearing out partisan bureaucrats in supposedly neutral roles.Please visit our great sponsors:Omahahttps://omahasteaks.comVisit OmahaSteaks.com and save 50% sitewide plus get an extra $30 off with promo code 3ML and a $30 reward card when you shop early.  Minimum purchase may apply.
