3 Martini Lunch – Political Humor & Commentary

Latest Episodes:

Don Lemon Arrested as Legal War Begins Jan 30, 2026

Show notes

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down the arrest of former CNN anchor and podcaster Don Lemon over his role in the Minnesota church invasion, a federal judge dismissing key charges against Luigi Mangione, and Washington, D.C.’s failure to control sewage or snow.
First, they react to Don Lemon’s arrest following a grand jury indictment tied to the invasion of a Minnesota church earlier this month. Lemon’s defenders argue the case is a violation of his First Amendment rights as a journalist, but Jim explains why press credentials do not grant permission to violate the constitutional rights of others.
Next, they’re stunned as Federal Judge Margaret Garnett dismisses two charges against Luigi Mangione, who is accused of stalking and murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in 2024. The judge ruled Mangione’s actions failed to meet the statutory definition of “use of physical force against the person of another." Jim outlines why he believes the decision is deeply flawed and likely to be appealed.
Finally, they spotlight the staggering dysfunction of Washington, D.C.’s local government after roughly 300 million gallons of sewage spilled into the Potomac River over the course of a week, and the city has failed miserably to remove snow from last weekend's storm.

Tom Homan Lays Down the Law While Dems Keep Calling ICE Nazis Jan 29, 2026

Show notes

Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch as they applaud Border Czar Tom Homan for plainly explaining what ICE actually does and the clear line opponents cannot cross. They also groan as Democrats and left-wing activists keep smearing ICE as Nazis and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani pushes sweeping tax hikes.
First, they welcome Tom Homan’s calm, clear breakdown of how ICE is enforcing the same immigration and deportation laws that have been on the books for decades. He also explains where activists should go if they want policy changes and what consequences await those who continue to obstruct ICE operations.
Next, they scold elected Democrats, left-wing media figures, and celebrities for their reckless rhetoric comparing ICE agents to Nazis and even suggesting consequences for Americans who support President Trump’s immigration enforcement agenda. Jim and Greg also have some fun putting these people in their place.
Finally, they get a kick out of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani claiming the city’s finances are worse than during the 2008 financial crisis to justify the same tax hikes on the wealthy and corporations that he pushed during the campaign. Jim points out the history of Democrats feigning shock in order to demand taking more of our money.

Latest Gavin Newsom Failure Shows Why Voters Flee Blue States Jan 28, 2026

Show notes

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down how the Electoral College map is likely to look after the 2030 Census, another staggering policy failure under California Gov. Gavin Newsom, the Ilhan Omar incident from last night, and the 40th anniversary of the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster.
First, they welcome projections showing the next U.S. Census shifting the Electoral College map in Republicans’ favor. Red states are expected to gain eight electoral votes, swing states one, while blue states lose nine. California is poised to lose four while Texas should gain four. If the projection holds, it could give GOP candidates an easier path to the White House starting n 2032.
Next, they react in disbelief to a $236 million California program meant to help mentally ill individuals cycling through homelessness and jail that has reportedly helped just 22 people. Gov. Gavin Newsom insists the number is higher, but even generous estimates point to a massive failure and another example of ineffective governance in deep-blue states.
Then, they discuss Rep. Ilhan Omar being confronted and having liquid squirted on her during a public forum Tuesday night. Omar was not seriously harmed and completed the event.
Finally, Jim and Greg reflect on 40 years since the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded shortly after liftoff in 1986, sharing where they were when it happened and how it became their generation’s defining national tragedy until the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Tim Walz & Donald Trump Cooperate As Dems Continue Funding Fight Jan 27, 2026

Show notes

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they welcome the arrival of some sanity and some protection for immigration officials in Minnesota, examine Democrats’ push to shut down the government over ICE despite one glaring flaw, and react to a bizarre NYPD investigation involving a raccoon.
First, they’re pleasantly surprised to see local law enforcement finally break up protests outside a hotel where immigration agents are believed to be staying. It’s a welcome shift that may stem from President Trump’s calls with Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey. But Greg also notes Walz's very slippery language when claiming he's always cooperated in handing over criminals to ICE.
Next, they roll their eyes, as Democrats seem determined to shut down the federal government again with another deadline looming. The Democrats are refusing to fund ICE but Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman is pointing out that shutting down the government won't shut down ICE. So it it would just be another political stunt.
Finally, they end on a lighter note by highlighting an NYPD officer placed on modified duty while an investigation proceeds into his fatal shooting of a raccoon that was allegedly attacking people. Greg explains why he hates raccoons, and both question the wisdom of spending time and resources probing something so trivial.

Tim Walz Compares Criminal Illegals to Anne Frank Jan 26, 2026

Show notes

Join Jim and Greg on the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down Saturday’s fatal Minnesota shooting involving federal immigration agents & President Trump’s frustration with the Homeland Security response, Gov. Tim Walz making everything worse by comparing immigration officials to the Nazis, and the despicable Slate attack on Second Lady Usha Vance.
First, they piece together the facts surrounding the Customs and Border Protection-involved shooting of anti-ICE protester Alex Pretti in Minneapolis and some of the bad decisions Pretti made that morning. They also highlight clearly incorrect statements from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem that ascribed sinister motives to Pretti. President Trump appears unhappy with het response and is putting Border Czar Tom Homan in charge of the operation.
Next, they unload on Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz for comparing illegal immigrants fearing arrest and deportation by immigration officials to Anne Frank hiding from the Nazis. Jim and Greg argue this reckless and historically ignorant comparison only inflames tensions by equating lawful federal agents with history’s greatest monsters.
Finally, they hammer a Slate author for her ugly, unhinged essay ripping Second Lady Usha Vance for having another baby with Vice President JD Vance. Jim comments on the unhealthy obsession many seem to have with the Vance marriage and other high-profile political couples.

FBI Arrests Three Anti-ICE Church Invaders Jan 23, 2026

Show notes

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they examine the arrests tied to Sunday’s anti-ICE protest at a Minnesota church, the Trump administration's new TikTok deal that does not comply with the TikTok ban, the San Francisco 49ers’ unusual investigation into this season’s rash of injuries, and a major winter storm bearing down on millions of Americans.
First, they applaud Attorney General Pam Bondi and the FBI for arresting three figures central to the horrific anti-ICE protests that barged into Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, on Sunday. The list includes William Kelly, who berated churchgoers, and is a serial harasser of Christians in multiple cities.
They also groan as the Trump administration’s new arrangement for TikTok still leaves ByteDance with nearly 20 percent control of the company. Federal law requires a full divestment from any firm tied to the Chinese Communist Party. With ByteDance still involved, it's increasingly unlikely that pro-China and anti-U.S. propaganda will disappear from users’ feeds anytime soon.
Then, they dig into the San Francisco 49ers launching an investigation into whether an electrical substation near their stadium and practice facility could be connected to the unusually high number of injuries suffered by key players this season.
Finally, they brace for the snow & ice storm head for much of the South and the East Coast this weekend.

Dems Already Planning to Impeach Trump if They Win the Midterms Jan 22, 2026

Show notes

Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch as they dive into a rare bipartisan vote to hold Bill and Hillary Clinton in contempt of Congress, House Democrats openly pledging to pursue impeachment of President Donald Trump if they retake the majority, and former Obama Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel calling for mandatory retirement of federal officials at age 75.
First, they consider Emanuel's call for mandatory government retirements at age 75. Jim and Greg have chronicled the obvious declines of Joe Biden and Dianne Feinstein and see why this proposed constitutional amendment is being floated, but should it also be mandatory for perfectly sharp people like 77-year-old Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas? They also discuss rumors Emanuel may run for president in 2028.
Next, they applaud the House Oversight Committee for holding Bill and Hillary Clinton in contempt of Congress. Surprisingly, nine Democrats joined Republicans in holding Bill Clinton in contempt, while three did so for Hillary. These are far-left Democrats, so why did they break ranks? Jim and Greg have some ideas.
Finally, while their midterm campaigns will likely focus on affordability, multiple Democrats in Congress are already admitting that if they win back the House majority this year, impeaching President Donald Trump will be at the very top of their agenda.

No Tucker Carlson, It Would Not Be Good for Iran to Have Nukes Jan 21, 2026

Show notes

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they dive into Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s very curious defense of restricting the Second Amendment, decoy operations to lure anti-ICE protesters away from actual raids, and Tucker Carlson claiming it would be good for Iran to have nuclear weapons.
First, they scratch their heads as Justice Jackson cites laws preventing black people from exercising their Second Amendment rights in the Jim Crow south as a precedent for siding with Hawaii's new, strict gun control laws. Thankfully, Justice Sam Alito was there to provide some much needed sanity.
Next, they get a kick out of Blue Lives Matter claiming it ran decoy operations in nine states to draw anti-ICE demonstrators away from real enforcement actions, freeing agents to do their jobs. They also highlight 3 Martini Lunch guest Michele Tafoya announcing her bid for the U.S. Senate in Minnesota.
Finally, they just shake their heads as Tucker Carlson contends that it would be good for Iran to have nuclear weapons because it could help stabilize the region, much like North Korean nukes have supposedly done in that part of the world, and that it would keep the U.S. and Israel from meddling so much in the Middle East. Jim has plenty to say about Tucker's spiraling deeper into utter nonsense.

Minnesota's Dem Attorney General Sees No Crime in Church Invasion Jan 20, 2026

Show notes

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch. Today, they dissect EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin's answer to a reporter struggling with simple economics, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison arguing that a federal law against disrupting religious freedom at a place of worship does not apply to what happened on Sunday, and President Trump's very odd tactics in trying to acquire Greenland.
First, they applaud Zeldin for keeping a straight face and giving a very clear explanation when a reporter asked how making American vehicles more affordable would be good for American auto workers. It's also a good reminder that far fewer people than we realize are taught the fundamentals of how an economy works.
Next, they groan as Attorney General Ellison says the FACE Act only applies to restricting demonstrations outside abortion facilities and not disrupting worship services. But the law in question specifically outlaws what happened on Sunday. So is Ellison clueless or just not interested in prosecuting the criminal acts of his political allies?
Finally, they react to President Trump demanding control of Greenland and telling Norway’s prime minister that missing out on the Nobel Peace Prize pushed him toward a more aggressive approach in dealing with Denmark. But is this strategy accomplishing anything, or is it just antagonizing other members of NATO?

Anti-ICE Agitators Brazenly Storm Minnesota Church Service Jan 19, 2026

Show notes

Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss Don Lemon and radical anti-ICE activists disrupting Christian church services, Iran’s regime refusing to pause the slaughter of demonstrators, and the stunning questions the Harris campaign reportedly asked Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro.
First, they unload on the lunatics from the Racial Justice Network who barged into Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, claiming one of the pastors also works for ICE. Jim and Greg chronicle the chaos, explain why the stunt was a blatant violation of the church's constitutional rights, and examine how far Don Lemon has fallen in attaching himself to this kind of spectacle.
Next, they report on the head of Iran’s judiciary declaring that demonstrators opposing the regime are “terrorists” who will be sentenced and punished swiftly. Terrorism is punishable by death in Iran. There are also multiple reports of rising death tolls. Will evidence that the killings have not stopped have an impact on President Trump?
Finally, they react to Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro claiming that the Harris campaign asked him whether he was an Israeli agent or had been in contact with one. This is just the latest revelation demonstrating that one of the weakest presidential candidates in recent memory was even worse than we thought.
