Latest Episodes:

FBI Finally Arrests DC Pipe Bomb Suspect Dec 05, 2025

Show notes

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss an arrest in the 2021 Washington, D.C., pipe bomb case, the fierce debates over one of the U.S. strikes against a Venezuelan drug boat, and another colossal waste of your tax dollars.
First, they applaud the FBI and other law enforcement for finally arresting the likely culprit behind the January 2021 pipe bombs left outside the Republican National Committee and Democratic National Committee headquarters in Washington. Jim and Greg walk through how investigators connected the dots and why Jim sees this as a win for diligent police work and a clear rebuttal to conspiracy theories.
Next, they dive into the fierce debate surrounding the September U.S. attack on a Venezuelan drug boat. Early media reports claimed Secretary of War Pete Hegseth ordered the killing of everyone aboard, prompting multiple strikes. Later reporting sharply contradicts that narrative. Jim says the administration should have laid out the full story from the beginning, but, unlike some Democrats, Jim and Greg shed no tears for the dead drug traffickers.
Finally, they sigh at reports that the U.S. Postal Service spent $3 billion of our tax dollars to procure 35,000 new mail trucks but only 612 were made. That's almost $5 million per truck. Jim and Greg fume over the government waste and explain how the government is incapable of being a good steward of our money

'Dead People' Costing Taxpayers Billions in Obamacare Fraud Dec 04, 2025

Show notes

Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down President Trump rolling back Joe Biden’s fuel-economy mandates on automakers, a stunning new report on widespread Obamacare fraud, and Gov. Gavin Newsom’s push to tax former California residents to plug his state’s massive budget deficit.
First, they applaud President Trump for scrapping the Biden administration’s burdensome fuel-economy standards. The move will likely lower costs and will almost certainly save lives. Jim and Greg unload on Democrats who want to limit our choices on the vehicles we drive and in other areas of life.
Next, they groan as a Government Accountability Office (GAO) report shows that the government accepted 100 percent of fraudulent Obamacare exchange applications that the GAO submitted as part of its investigation. In addition, the actual Obamacare fraud happening in the system is costing taxpayers billions of dollars and much of it happens when applicants use the Social Security numbers of dead people.
Finally, they laugh as California Gov. Gavin Newsom attempts to fix his state’s budget disaster by taxing people who have already moved away. Jim turns to a classic song to underscore how absurd the idea is, and he hopes someone sues the state if lawmakers actually pass the plan.

Voters Send Behn Campaign Down the Drain Dec 03, 2025

Show notes

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they assess the political defeat of Aftyn Behn in Tennessee, President Trump's comments on affordability, and a call for Al Gore to run for president again.
First, they celebrate the victory of Republican Matt Van Epps by nine points over far-left lunatic Aftyn Behn in the special Tennessee congressional election. The margin was narrower this time than in 2024, but Jim says this is a solid win in a special election. They also consider the likelihood that the Democrats will be running scores of young radicals like Behn in next year's midterm elections.
Next, they wince a bit as President Trump refers to "affordability" as a "con job by the Democrats." It's true the left is constantly using the term, has no real plans to reduce the cost of living, and is responsible for the horrible inflation jump in the Biden years. But they're also concerned that voters may interpret Trump as simply dismissing the stubbornly high cost of living.
Then, they get a kick out of a small push for former Vice President Al Gore to run for president again in 2028. That's not going to happen, but it gives Greg another opportunity to dust off his Gore impression. Jim suggests Gore would probably seem reasonable compared to the likely batch of candidates in 2028. Greg suspects Gore has shifted just as far left as they have.
Finally, Jim and Greg share the difficult news revealed by a good friend of the 3 Martini Lunch and how you can encourage him.

Is Social Security Eight Years from Extinction? Dec 02, 2025

Show notes

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they dig into Republicans pushing solutions to America’s cost-of-living problems, Great Britain scrapping jury trials for many criminal cases, and the approaching implosion of Social Security.
First, they applaud Montana Sen. Tim Sheehy for highlighting that the cost of living is too high for many Americans, especially in housing, grocieries, and medical care. In his Wall Street Journal op-ed, Sheehy dismisses Democrats’ strategy of pouring more money into every problem and instead calls for deregulation, health-care price transparency, and other market-based reforms.
Next, they blast the British government for eliminating jury trials for defendants likely to face three years or less in prison if convicted. The excuse is that there is a huge backlog in British courts. Jim and Greg blast the lefties in the UK for this attack on a fundamental part of western justice and point to ways this change could easily be used to punish political opponents of the current government.
Finally, they react to stark projections that Social Security could collapse in just eight years without serious reform. Both parties have ignored the problem for decades. The left will eventually want to raise taxes, and no one will want reduced benefits. Jim says Congress missed a good opportunity to help fix this problem twenty years ago. And he points out one other group to blame for the problem getting so bad.

Is Tim Walz in Big Political Trouble? Dec 01, 2025

Show notes

Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz facing intense backlash over a massive welfare fraud scandal, California’s latest proof that minimum wage hikes only make things worse, and Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett sounding increasingly like a 2026 U.S. Senate candidate.
First, they’re encouraged to see even the New York Times hammering Gov. Tim Walz for failing to stop hundreds of millions of dollars in public assistance fraud on his watch. It's partly because the evidence is irrefutable, but Jim also says the political handwriting is on the wall for last year's Democratic vice presidential nominee.
They also point to new data showing California’s $20 fast-food minimum wage is playing out exactly as critics predicted. The state lost 19,000 fast-food jobs over the past year while menu prices surged. Jim and Greg explain yet again why this policy cannot work but also question whether Democrats will ever learn.
Finally, they rub their hands with glee as Rep. Jasmine Crockett signals she’s preparing a U.S. Senate run in Texas next year. Jim and Greg look at the likely Democratic field and the potential for a fiery GOP primary too. They're both pretty skeptical that Crockett could win statewide or even keep it fairly close.

Black Friday Political Gifts for 2025 Nov 28, 2025

Show notes

Join Jim and Greg for a special Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they reveal their Black Friday gift choices for political figures, from lawmakers to voters and from podcasters to a former president.
First, Jim has multiple gift ideas for Candace Owens in response to her assertions of major conspiracies related to the assassination of Charlie Kirk, including suggestions of an inside job from Kirk's own organization and claiming that Kirk himself confirmed her suspicions in her dreams. Greg offers a practical gift for Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. He also has a gift for all Senate Democrats who seem to think that they have to use profanity to make their points.
Next, Jim has multiple gifts in mind for radical Maine U.S. Senate hopeful Graham Platner, who has struggled since revealing he's been wearing a Nazi-related tattoo for nearly two decades. Greg has a gift for every New York City resident now that they're about to experience four years of Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Just so they know what to expect.
Finally, Jim has a gift for Greg and himself based on the very disappointing election results in Virginia this month. Greg has a useful gift for Barack Obama, UN Secretary General Antonio Gutteres and anyone else actively trying to stifle online speech they find inconvenient.

Encore: Jim in India: What They Think of Trump, the China Threat, & More Nov 27, 2025

Show notes

As you settle in for your Thanksgiving feast and time with family and friends, Jim and Greg are spending the day with their loved ones as well. But we still have you covered! Today, we revisit Jim's report from his October trip to India,including how the opportunity arose and why it happened now. He also explains how Indians are currently viewing the Trump administration and the overall relationship between India and the U.S. as well as the emerging threat from China.
First, Jim shares how he got invited on the trip, the significance of the timing, and more. He also goes into detail about the RSS, a powerful group in Indian politics that is closely connected to current Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Next, Jim details how Indian officials currently view the United States and President Trump. Some strain has emerged in the relationship over the past year, but it has less to do with the tariffs applied by Trump and more to do with how the administration intervened in the tensions between India and Pakistan earlier in the year.
Finally, Jim reveals how India is watching China's relentless military buildup with increasing concern, both in terms of a possible invasion of Taiwan and India's own border problems with the Chinese. And, of course, Jim offers some additional humor and flavor from his visit to the world's most populous nation.

Borders, Bombing Iran's Nukes, & More: What We're Politically Thankful For Nov 26, 2025

Show notes

As you get ready to celebrate Thanksgiving, join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch. They each reveal three things or people they are politically thankful for in 2025.
First, Jim applauds a reporter who broke the most significant political scoop of the year. And while it didn't change the outcome of the election, it does give Virginians clear eyes on what to expect over the next four years. Meanwhile, Greg applauds the Trump administration for getting it's most important policy priority done right - and almost instantly after taking office.
Next, Jim has some fun and says he's thankful that he's not on the hook for designing secure facilities In Iran that turned out not to be so secure this year. Jim also utters a line likely to shock President Trump's staunchest supporters and his fiercest critics. Greg focuses on the homefront and is glad there is a backstop of sanity to deal with the blizzard of ridiculous rulings from federal judges playing politics from the bench.
Finally, Jim is thankful for the establishment of honorable journalistic principles in a news cycle where reporters like Olivia Nuzzi are taking a blowtorch to any notion of ethical reporting. And Greg thanks outgoing Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin for four years of sanity as we buckle up for four years of dumpster fires from the Democrats.

Elon X-Poses Online Frauds Nov 25, 2025

Show notes

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they enjoy watching social media accounts purporting to be Americans get exposed for being based overseas. They also respond to Rep. Eric Swalwell claiming that people vote by phone all over the country and shake their heads at still more insanity from Tennessee Dem Aftyn Behn.
First, they applaud Elon Musk for the new feature revealing where X accounts are based. It's exposed some prominent MAGA accounts with no personal names to be based in foreign countries. Also, people claiming to be reporters based in Gaza were discovered to be in several different countries. Jim and Greg offer some helpful tips to avoid getting lured in by these sorts of accounts.
Next, they slam Rep. Swalwell, who is now running for Governor of California. In an interview on CNN, Swalwell said he wants Californians to be able to vote through their phones because it's already happening in many places across the country. No, it's not. Jim and Greg also do a quick review of the Democrats in the governor's race and warn Californians that whomever emerges from the primary will be bad news for the state.
Finally, they serve another martini on Aftyn Behn, the Democrat running in a special congressional election in Tennessee next week. In addition to comments that she hates Nashville (which is in the congressional district) and country music, she would not walk back anti-police comments from 2020. Now, there is audio of Behn saying she doesn't want children, she wants power, while explaining why she believes women should not have children. Oh, and there's yet another example of her screaming while protesting and being dragged away.

Will Democrats Soon Have a House Majority? Nov 24, 2025

Show notes

Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down the latest insane comments from Tennessee Democrat congressional candidate Aftyn Behn, the confusion over whether the Russia-Ukraine peace plan came from the U.S. or Russia, and the impending resignation of Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, and whether several more Republicans in Congress will soon follow her lead.
First, they’re stunned as Behn refuses to walk back her 2020 tweets calling for abolishing the Nashville police and endorsing the burning of police stations. Video has also surfaced of her shrieking in protest at the Tennessee legislature before she became a state lawmaker.
Next, Jim fumes over the peace deal sponsored by Russia that many in the U.S. and Europe thought was the U.S.-backed plan. Secretary of State Marco Rubio strongly denies that and now says significant progress is being made towards peace at negotiations in Europe. But Jim warns that Moscow has a long track record of violating agreements — and expects nothing different this time.
Finally, they dissect the falling out between President Trump and soon-to-be former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and what lessons it provides. They also react to reports that several more GOP House members could resign in the coming months, possibly in large enough numbers to swing the House majority to the Democrats.
