3 Martini Lunch – Political Humor & Commentary

Latest Episodes:

Epstein Files Expose Ties to School Picture Company Feb 13, 2026

Show notes

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday edition of the 3 Martini Lunch as they wrap up the weekdiscussing the latest elites caught up in the Epstein scandal, the media’s curious silence over a record-setting sewage spill into the Potomac River, and Congress leaves town for more than a week without funding the Department of Homeland Security.
First, they react to newly reported details about Jeffrey Epstein’s connections to former Obama White House Counsel Kathryn Ruemmler, far-leftauthor and commentator Noam Chomsky, and the owner of Lifetouch, one of the nation’s largest school photography companies. Jim underscores the breathtaking indifference many elites appeared to show toward Epstein’s admitted crimes.
Next, they examine what is now being described as the worst wastewater disaster in U.S. history: a massive sewage spill into the Potomac River. Despite the scale and environmental impact, both local and national media outlets have shown strikingly little interest. Jim points out how much the media covers a disaster like this depends almost entirely upon whom they can blame for it.
Finally, they fume as a partial government shutdown will begin at midnight because Democrats refuse to fund the Department of Homeland Security because of their temper tantrum over ICE. Meanwhile, lawmakers won't even be in town next week.

Dem Claims SAVE Act Would Block Married Women from Voting Feb 12, 2026

Show notes

Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch as they sort through conflicting government explanations for the sudden air traffic stoppage in El Paso, the Trump administration squeezing the economic life out of Cuba’s Communist regime, and Democrats gaslighting the public about GOP election security efforts.
First, they try to nail down the truth about why the FAA ordered a 10-day pause in air traffic around El Paso late Tuesday night. Was it a threatening Mexican drone, a party balloon mistaken for a drone, or testing of anti-drone laser technology? And there are also conflicting explanations about which part of government is responsible.
Next, they’re pleased to see the Trump administration playing hardball with Cuba by cutting off oil supplies to the Communist regime. The economic impact is real and immediate, but what is the long-term U.S. plan there?
Finally, they shake their heads as Michigan Rep. Hillary Scholten and other Democrats baselessly claim that requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote would block married women who changed their names from voting. Jim and Greg explain how this is just the latest lie Democrats are using to oppose secure elections.

Dem Rep. LaMonica McIver Sparks Firestorm in ICE Hearing Feb 11, 2026

Show notes

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they react to a chaotic House oversight hearing on ICE operations, the federal government’s sudden halt and restart of flights in El Paso, and California’s controversial “jock tax” that reportedly cost Seattle's quarterback more than he earned for winning the Super Bowl.
First, they break down the theatrics from Tuesday’s House immigration hearing, where Democrats grilled ICE Director Todd Lyons over enforcement actions. New Jersey Rep. LaMonica McIver went so far as to ask Lyons whether he believed he was going to Hell for ICE’s policies. Jim notes the absurdity of her questions and the massive double standard Democrats emply on matters of faith.
Next, they scratch their heads as the Federal Aviation Administration orders a 10-day clearance of air space around El Paso, Texas. But a few hours later, the order was lifted. At the time Jim and Greg recorded, the official explanation was the incursion of a drone from a Mexican cartel. Since then the explanations have only gotten more strange.
Finally, they comment on the insanity of California's "jock tax" which cost Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold roughly $71,000 more than he earned for winning the game. Jim and Greg discuss how extreme this policy is and how these sorts of laws could impact the success of certain teams down the road.

NY Times Admits Pushing Legalized Weed Was a Mistake Feb 10, 2026

Show notes

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down the New York Times admitting it was wrong about supporting the legalization of marijuana, the slippery answers of possible presidential candidate Andy Beshear, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass facing little opposition for re-election, and a public official in desperate need of a civics lesson.
First, they’re pleasantly surprised to see the New York Times editorial board concede it was wrong to champion marijuana legalization while minimizing the harms of widespread weed use. Jim and Greg discuss data showing a surge in Americans using marijuana five or more times a week and how many states have effectively flipped sides in the drug war.
Next, they turn to Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear’s appearance on The View as he works to build national name recognition ahead of a likely 2028 presidential run. Beshear casts himself as a moderate, but Jim and Greg point to his opposition to proof-of-citizenship requirements for voter registration and his attempted veto of legislation banning transgender surgeries for minors. Jim explains how Democrats like Beshear try to hide behind their Republican legislatures to look moderate.
Then they groan as the deadline for running for Mayor of Los Angeles has come and gone and Mayor Karen Bass looks like a heavy favorite for re-election despite her disastrous performance. Is LA a lost cause or would it ever boot a Democrat from office.
Finally, they cringe as the sheriff of the largest county in North Carolina miserably fails to state how many branches of government we have and which one he is part of.

Super Bowl Halftime Sparks Backlash After Bad Bunny Performance Feb 09, 2026

Show notes

On the Monday after the Super Bowl, Craig Collins is in for Greg Corombos, and he and Jim Geraghty cheer the weekend's election in Japan and the prospect of stronger ties between Japanese prime minister Sanae Takaichi and President Trump; lament a new Wall Street Journal report indicating the system of block grants to the states has enabled waste and fraud, and of course, discuss the Super Bowl halftime show featuring Bad Bunny.

Democrats Unleash Brutal Redistricting Surprise Feb 06, 2026

Show notes

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they react to Virginia Democrats’ aggressive gerrymandering of congressional districts, Russia’s escalating mischief online and in space, and New Jersey Democrats once again showing how far the party continues to lurch to the left.
First, they unload on Virginia Democrats for transforming a fairly competitive state into a convoluted congressional map that could give Democrats control of ten of the state’s eleven House seats. Jim and Greg walk through the most absurd district lines and skewer the flimsy explanations Democrats are offering for this blatant power grab.
Next, they chronicle the many ways Russia is attempting to meddle with its adversaries through cyber warfare, satellite interference, and other destabilizing tactics. New reports suggest Moscow is targeting Italy during the Olympics and is even floating threats involving a nuclear attack in space aimed at disrupting Elon Musk’s Starlink network.
Finally, they dissect the surprising results in a New Jersey special congressional primary where a far-left candidate is now poised to defeat a heavily favored, more moderate Democrat. Jim and Greg explain why the upset is another sign that much of the Democratic Party’s energy is increasingly aligned with a more radical vision for the country.

Chinese Communist Party Linked Bio Lab Found in Las Vegas Airbnb Feb 05, 2026

Show notes

Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch as they weigh in on anti-ICE high school protests, the discovery of yet another Chinese-linked bio lab in the United States, and a bizarre Republican primary challenge featuring a familiar infomercial pitchman.
First, they dig into the case of a Nebraska mother who says her daughter was struck by a vehicle during an anti-ICE protest that took place during school hours. She alleges the high school not only allowed the walkout and failed to protect her daughter but used class time to prepare students for it. Jim and Greg debate the responsibility of teachers and administrators to keep students safe, why left-approved protests are treated differently, and how protests should be handled at the high school level.
Next, they react to the alarming news that another bio lab with ties to the Chinese Communist Party was discovered and raided near Las Vegas. Jim and Greg walk through the disturbing details of the lab and explain why the United States needs a far more serious approach to the national security threats posed by China.
Finally, they look ahead to congressional primary season with the eyebrow-raising news that Vince, the ShamWow infomercial pitchman, is running for Congress as a Republican in Texas against an incumbent GOP lawmaker. Vince is unlikely to win but Jim struggles to figure out what supposedly makes this guy even remotely qualified to serve in Congress.

Minnesota Backs Down as Tom Homan Gets Results Feb 04, 2026

Show notes

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down Tom Homan’s tremendous early success overseeing immigration enforcement in Minnesota, the challenges Republicans face heading into the midterm elections, and Melinda Gates’ telling response to new Jeffrey Epstein allegations involving her ex-husband, Bill Gates.
First, they applaud Homan for restoring order in Minnesota while still delivering results. He says the federal government is downsizing its operation there by 700 personnel, noting that improved cooperation with local authorities has reduced the need for additional agents. Homan also forcefully calls out activists blocking roads in an effort to disrupt immigration enforcement.
Next, they assess a string of disappointing election results for Republicans and what those outcomes signal for the GOP ahead of the midterms. Jim outlines the key issues Republicans must emphasize, particularly the cost of living, while Greg offers blunt advice to congressional Republicans to energize the base and expand their appeal to other voters.
Finally, they react to Melinda Gates responding to the latest Epstein allegations involving Bill Gates, making clear she’s unconvinced by her ex-husband’s denials. While the Wall Street Journal and others argue releasing all the Epstein documents was a mistake, Jim explains why he believes Congress and the Justice Department made the right call.

D.C. Crime Plummets While Dems Protect Crooked House Member Feb 03, 2026

Show notes

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down Washington, D.C.’s sharply declining crime numbers, troubling Trump administration rhetoric on guns, and House Democrats refusing to expel a colleague facing serious corruption charges.
First, they welcome new data showing January crime rates in the nation’s capital are significantly lower than a year ago across most major categories. Jim and Greg dig into how much credit belongs to the temporary federalization of the D.C. police force and deployment of the National Guard, and how much may be due to other factors.
Next, they push back on comments from U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro, who warned that anyone bringing a gun into D.C. is going to jail. While Pirro later clarified that firearms must be registered with the city. Jim and Greg still find that problematic and the wrong focus of efforts to curb crime.
Finally, they react as House Democrats refuse to expel Florida Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, who is charged with stealing federal disaster relief funds to finance her campaign. Even after a blistering House Ethics Committee report, Democrats insist they won’t act unless she’s convicted. Is that the right standard?

Bill Gates & Richard Branson Named in Newest Epstein File Drop Feb 02, 2026

Show notes

Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they recoil at Vogue’s absurdly fawning profile of California Gov. Gavin Newsom, unpack new revelations from the latest Epstein document release, and chronicle the painfully inept responses by two big-city mayors to a few inches of snow and ice.
First, they completely lose their appetites over Vogue’s glowing puff piece on Gov. Gavin Newsom, who is widely expected to run for president in 2028. The article opens by swooning over his appearance and only sinks further from there. Jim says this type of profile is the opposite of real journalism but we'll see a lot more of this as the election gets closer.
Next, they dig into the latest batch of Epstein files, which include high-profile names such as Bill Gates and Richard Branson. Many of these associations reportedly continued well after Epstein’s Florida plea deal involving underage girls. Jim and Greg have zero sympathy for anyone who knowingly remained in Epstein’s orbit long after those crimes were public.
Finally, Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani earn failing grades for their cities’ embarrassing responses to a few inches of snow and ice. More than a week later, many streets are barely passable, trash is piling up, and numerous D.C.-area schools are still closed.
