3 Martini Lunch – Political Humor & Commentary

Latest Episodes:

VA Redistricting Ruled Unconstitutional, Dem Shutdown Plot & Massive Ohio Fraud | Last Call May 09, 2026

Show notes

Welcome to Last Call, a look at the biggest stories Jim and Greg covered over the past week on the 3 Martini Lunch.
This week they highlight the Virginia Supreme Court ruling the Democrat's gerrymandering referendum was done in an unconstitutional way, Democrats already plotting another government shutdown showdown ahead of the midterms, and shocking new reporting on massive home health Medicaid fraud in Ohio. Plus, McDonald's makes a major change that is not a good reflection on our culture.
First, Jim and guest host Craig Collins react to Friday's Virginia Supreme Court decision nixing what would have been a 10-1 Democratic edge on the Virginia congressional map because Democrats did not follow the constitution in advancing the referendum.
Next, they spotlight the top Democrat on the House Homeland Security Committee openly admitting that Democrats are already considering a government shutdown this October unless their absurd ICE "reforms" are agreed to. How will this impact the midterm elections?
Then, they spotlight explosive reporting from The Daily Wire’s Luke Rosiak detailing more than $1 billion in alleged “home health” Medicaid fraud in Ohio. The scheme reportedly involves fraudulent companies billing Medicaid to pay individuals to care for family members—or in some cases, doing no work at all. Jim and Greg walk through some of the stunning details.
Finally, Jim and Greg react to McDonald's moving the soda pop machines behind the counter and the reasons why its happening.

Virginia Supreme Court Slams The Door on Democrats May 08, 2026

Show notes

Join Jim and fill-in host Craig Collins for Friday’s 3 Martini Lunch as they break down Virginia’s blockbuster Supreme Court ruling on redistricting, growing concerns that China sees an opening as U.S. missile stockpiles shrink during the Iran conflict, and the bizarre rise of a Senate candidate whose Nazi tattoo controversy somehow seems to be boosting his political profile.
First, they dive into the Virginia Supreme Court’s decision to strike down the state’s controversial redistricting referendum, preserving the current congressional map and shutting down Democrats’ attempt to redraw districts mid-decade.
Next, they tackle a troubling New York Times report suggesting China believes the U.S. military has weakened itself by burning through key missile stockpiles during the ongoing conflict with Iran.
Then, they shake their heads over growing speculation that controversial Maine Senate candidate Graham Plattner — whose Nazi tattoo explanation continues to raise eyebrows — could somehow become a rising star within Democratic politics.
Finally, in the chaser, they explore newly released UFO footage and declassified government videos that are reigniting alien speculation online.

Iran Crisis Sends Jet Fuel Prices Soaring May 07, 2026

Show notes

(00:00:00) DNC 2024 Autopsy
(00:05:44) Jet Fuel Prices Impact on Economy
(00:12:10) Hantavirus Cruise
(00:19:02) Remembering Ted Turner
Craig Collins is in for Greg Corombus today, and Craig and Jim wonder why the Democratic National Committee still refuses to release its heavily-researched "autopsy" of the 2024 election and what it means that Kamala Harris is now saying the DNC should release it.
Then they lament the higher price of jet fuel, the warnings from the airline industry to the Trump administration about the economic fallout from the war against Iran and closure of the Strait of Hormuz, and the forecast that higher air travel costs will last until autumn.
In the crazy martini, Jim and Craig note the captain of that cruise ship with a hantavirus outbreak initially told passengers that there was nothing contagious on the ship. And finally, they say farewell to Ted Turner, a unique figure on the modern media landscape.

Shut Out by the GOP: Why Tucker, Candace, & Fuentes are Pivoting May 06, 2026

Show notes

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down a huge win for the GOP already in 2026, the Republicans' efforts to flip Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman, and the Pentagon’s response to bizarre claims about Iran’s military capabilities in the Persian Gulf.
First, as they watch odious figures like Nick Fuentes embrace the Democrats again and seek to "burn down the whole (Republican) party in 2028," it's a sign that the GOP is largely slamming the door in the face of these extremists. Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens are also noticeably drifting leftward. Jim and Greg are plenty glad to witness this addition by subtraction.
Next, they consider the effort by two Republican senators to woo Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman to join the GOP. He says that won't happen. Jim and Greg point out that Fetterman really only bucks the Democrats on a couple of issues but that's enough to make him a pariah on the left. They also consider Fetterman's options as he considers re-election in 2028.
Then they get a good laugh as Sec. Pete Hegseth and Gen. Dan Caine reassure Americans that Iran does not have "kamikaze dolphins" as weapons in the Persian Gulf. They also consider where the war stands four weeks into this cease-fire.
Finally, Jim and Greg preview what the next couple of weeks will look like on the 3 Martini Lunch.

Did Luigi Mangione Inspire the Palisades Arsonist? May 05, 2026

Show notes

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down shocking new reporting on massive home health Medicaid fraud in Ohio, the Palisades Fire arsonist allegedly admits being inspired by Luigi Mangione, Rep. Nancy Mace exposing taxpayer-funded sexual harassment settlements in Congress, and McDonald’s decision to move soda machines behind the counter.
First, they spotlight explosive reporting from The Daily Wire’s Luke Rosiak detailing more than $1 billion in alleged “home health” Medicaid fraud in Ohio. The scheme reportedly involves fraudulent companies billing Medicaid to pay individuals to care for family members—or in some cases, doing no work at all. Jim and Greg walk through some of the stunning details.
Next, after the Left repeatedly blamed last year's devastating LA wildfires on climate change, we later learned it was an arsonist. And now that arsonist reportedly told prosecutors he was inspired to do it by Luigi Mangione murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in 2024 and wanted to send a warning to the wealthy. Jim and Greg also discuss the latest in the LA mayor's race.
Then, they give credit to South Carolina Rep. Nancy Mace for revealing that six members of Congress used taxpayer funds to settle sexual harassment claims between 2007 and 2017. Jim and Greg revisit the scandal and provide context on some of the lawmakers involved.
Finally, Jim and Greg react to McDonald's moving the soda pop machines behind the counter and the reasons why its happening.

Tucker Carlson's Ridiculous Trump, Vance Comments Exposed May 04, 2026

Show notes

Join Jim and Greg for the Monday edition of the 3 Martini Lunch as they break down Tucker Carlson’s bizarre performance on a New York Times podcast, Democrats already plotting another government shutdown showdown ahead of the midterms, and the University of Oregon agreeing to use the campus alert system if ICE agents are spotted on campus.
First, they shake their heads over Carlson flatly denying that he ever speculated on his own podcast about whether President Trump could be the Antichrist, even when confronted with his own words. The segment only gets stranger as Carlson suggests possible treachery within the administration against Vice President JD Vance. Jim and Greg try to figure out what's going on with Tucker.
Next, they spotlight the top Democrat on the House Homeland Security Committee openly admitting that Democrats are already considering a government shutdown this October unless their absurd ICE "reforms" are agreed to. How will this impact the midterm elections?
Then, they roll their eyes as the University of Oregon gives in to student demands by agreeing to activate the campus alert system if ICE agents are spotted nearby.
Finally, they point to a special state senate election in Michigan tomorrow for a seat Gov. Gretchen Whitmer held open for 16 months for political advantage.

Dems Support Nazi Tattoo Guy, Comey Indicted, & Obama’s Blunder | Last Call May 02, 2026

Show notes

Welcome to Last Call, a look at the biggest stories Jim and Greg covered over the past week on the 3 Martini Lunch.
This week they break down Nazi tattoo guy Graham Platner effectively clinching the Democratic U.S. Senate nomination in Maine, the Justice Department’s new charges against former FBI Director James Comey, and the left’s bizarre insistence that the would-be White House Correspondents Dinner shooter was not political despite his manifesto. Plus, they examine the latest twist in Al Gore’s climate change charade.
First, Jim and Greg break down Gov. Janet Mills dropping out of the Maine U.S. Senate race, a move that all but hands the nomination to Platner. They revisit the disturbing controversies tied to Platner and highlight how aggressively Mills had previously criticized him.
Next, they react to a federal grand jury returning two felony indictments against Comey tied to his “8647” Instagram post last year. Comey now faces charges of threatening to kill President Trump and then distributing that threat through social media. Jim and Greg have no love for Comey, but they explain why this prosecution is likely to fail.
Then, they focus on the would-be shooter and his manifesto. And Jim and Greg are stunned as Barack Obama and others on the left claim the motive was unknown long after the manifesto had already been released.
Finally, they get a good laugh as former Vice President Al Gore, after decades of warning about the supposedly catastrophic effects of global warming, is now sounding the alarm in the opposite direction.

DOJ Indicts Fauci Aide Over Deleted Emails, FOIA Scheme May 01, 2026

Show notes

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they assess the Justice Department indictment of a close aide to Dr. Anthony Fauci, a new poll showing Texas Democrat James Talarico narrowly leading both Republicans in the U.S. Senate race, and Chicago schools urging students to attend far left May Day rallies.
First, they react to the Justice Department indicting David Morens, a longtime associate of Dr. Fauci at the National Institutes of Health, for allegedly destroying government records tied to the COVID-19 outbreak to evade Freedom of Information Act requests. Jim and Greg explain how this looks like an open and shut case and why NIH officials did not want to comply.
Next, they dig into new Texas polling showing Democrat James Talarico with slim leads over both Sen. John Cornyn and Attorney General Ken Paxton ahead of their late-May Republican runoff. Jim explains why he believes Cornyn is far likelier than Paxton to defeat Talarico and why this race could divert GOP funds from other tough races.
Then they slam Chicago Public Schools for encouraging students to skip class and attend far-left May Day rallies, even offering busing. Jim and Greg discuss the deterioration of Chicago schools and how far left Democrats are moving now.
Finally, Marxist Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson gives a flippant response over the possibility of wealthy people in Washington state leaving over the coming 9.9 percent millionaire's tax. Jim and Greg explain why she won't be laughing if a lot of those people actually leave.

Clearing the Field: Dem Candidate with Nazi Tattoo Will Be the Nominee Apr 30, 2026

Show notes

Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch as they react to Nazi tattoo guy Graham Platner effectively clinching the Democratic U.S. Senate nomination in Maine, a powerful new campaign ad from Los Angeles mayoral candiate Spencer Pratt, a possibile rift in the Trump administration over the war in Iran, and a strange new poll in the California governor's race.
First, Jim and Greg break down Gov. Janet Mills dropping out of the Maine U.S. Senate race, a move that all but hands the nomination to Platner. They revisit the disturbing controversies tied to Platner and highlight how aggressively Mills had previously criticized him.
Next, they applaud Pratt's new ad in the LA mayor's race. It establishes a stark contrast with failed incumbent Karen Bass, but can Bass be defeated in such a deep blue area.
Then, they react to a report from The Atlantic suggesting that aides to Vice President JD Vance are concerned that Donald Trump may not be receiving accurate information from the Pentagon regarding the Iran conflict and the state of U.S. missile stockpiles.
Finally, they tear apart a new poll on the California governor's race over it's bizarre descriptions of the candidates.

Comey Indictment Raises Big Questions About Evidence Apr 29, 2026

Show notes

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down the Justice Department’s new charges against former FBI Director James Comey, how the Trump blockade is crippling Iran’s economy, and the eye-opening deleted tweets from a leading Democratic U.S. Senate candidate. Plus, they examine the latest twist in Al Gore’s climate change charade.
First, they react to a federal grand jury returning two felony indictments against Comey tied to his “8647” Instagram post last year. Comey now faces charges of threatening to kill President Trump and then distributing that threat through social media. Jim and Greg have no love for Comey, but they explain why this prosecution is likely to fail.
Next, they examine the devastating impact the war and the U.S. blockade of the Strait of Hormuz are having on Iran’s economy: soaring inflation, widespread job losses, and an oil industry in crisis. But will this create enough pressure for meaningful change inside Iran?
Then, they shake their heads at some of the now-deleted social media posts from Michigan Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Mallory McMorrow, including her comments about the auto industry, the death of a conservative U.S. Supreme Court justice, and the future of the United States.
Finally, they get a good laugh as former Vice President Al Gore, after decades of warning about the supposedly catastrophic effects of global warming, is now sounding the alarm in the opposite direction.
