3 Martini Lunch – Political Humor & Commentary

Latest Episodes:

Left Relitigating 2016, Hillary Hijacks D-Day, Menendez Pleads...Independent Jun 06, 2024

Show notes

Today, Jim and Greg toast three crazy martinis to our chaotic political landscape. They discuss the ridiculous theory Laurence Tribe is pushing, which states that Donald Trump's recent convictions means Hillary should have been the winner of the 2016 election; Hillary Clinton's embarrassing attempt to politicize D-Day; and the surprising party switch of Sen. Bob Menendez, which comes with an even bigger surprise behind it.
First, they delve into legendary Harvard law professor Laurence Tribe promulgating the idea that Donald Trump's felony convictions invalidate the results of the 2016 election, and his accompanying lament of all that could have been had Hillary Clinton ascended to the presidency instead. Jim gives Tribe credit for pushing the least plausible argument for doubting the results of the 2016 election, pointing out that, long before this recent conviction, voters were aware of Trump's long record of dubious moral behavior.
Next, they roll their eyes at Hillary Clinton's D-Day tweet, which compares those who vote to "save democracy" to the military heroes of 1944. They point out that voting in a free country is very obviously not the same as risking your life in battle, and they observe that Democrats only value democracy insofar as it gets them the election results they want.
Finally, they unpack New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez running as an independent, allegedly so that he can angle for a presidential pardon no matter who is president after the next election. Jim and Greg are a little dubious as to whether this plan will be successful.

Garland Grilled Over Border, Biden's Border Posturing, Scarborough's Absurd Biden Defense Jun 05, 2024

Show notes

Today, Jim and Greg discuss Texas Rep. Chip Roy's unrelenting takedown of Attorney General Merrick Garland's border security record, Biden's useless new executive order to limit border crossings, and Joe Scarborough's dubious assertion that Joe Biden is sharper than any House Speaker over the past 30 years.
First, they applaud Texas Rep. Chip Roy for taking Attorney General Merrick Garland to task for trying to excuse the egregious lack of enforcement at the border and pin the blame on a lack of funds. Jim says for Garland to blame the problem on a lack of funding is insulting.
Next, they explain why President Biden's executive order that supposedly tightens border security has no teeth because there are so many loopholes that nothing really changes.
Finally, Jim has little patience for MSNBC's Joe Scarborough trying to rebut a Wall Street Journal story about Biden's cognitive decline by claiming that Biden is mentally sharper than every Speaker of the House over the past 30 years.

Fauci's COVID Bullying Exposed, Mexico Stays Far Left, Biden Badmouths Bibi Again Jun 04, 2024

Show notes

Join Greg and Jim as they discuss Fauci's ugly bullying behind the vaccine mandates Covid mandates, Mexico’s recent election of another far-left leader and the potentially big implications for the U.S., and Biden’s claim that Israel’s war with Hamas is unnecessarily being prolonged to keep Netanyahu in power.
First, they unload for the second straight day on former NIH official Anthony Fauci, who was sold as a symbol of trust to the American people. They specifically target comments exposed during Monday's hearings in which Fauci is heard saying they needed to threaten people trying to get an education or a job (or keep one) that they had to get the COVID vaccination. Fauci further said when you apply that kind of pressure, people have no choice but to abandon their ideologies and beliefs.
Then, amid a swirl of breaking news, the Mexican presidential campaign and election went mostly unnoticed, until Claudia Sheinbaum was easily elected the new president. Sheinbaum, Mexico’s first female and Jewish president, ran on a platform of continuing former President Lopez Obrador’s policies and of expanding the government and consolidating power. The election, coming in conjunction with Biden’s proposed border control, could have big implications for the United States relations and trade with Mexico.
Finally, after supporting Israel for months, Biden turned tail and claimed that the prolonged war against Gaza is a power grab for Netanyahu and an attempt to occupy Gaza completely. Biden says that Hamas is no longer capable of carrying out another October 7th attack, and so, enough is enough. Biden claims that the war in Gaza is as bad as the American occupation in Iraq and Afghanistan and is unnecessary.

Hunter Heads to Court, Fauci's Made-Up COVID Rules, DOJ's 'Deepfake' Drivel Jun 03, 2024

Show notes

Join Jim and Greg as they have a lot to say about Hunter Biden finally facing federal charges, Dr. Anthony Fauci admitting some of the most repressive COVID restrictions were not based on science at all, and the Justice Department saying we can't hear the audio of President Biden's conversation with the special counsel because of concern over artificial intelligence "deepfakes."
First, they're glad that Hunter Biden is finally facing federal charges for lying about his drug use on federal forms when buying a gun years ago. They also pull no punches in response to the excuse that Biden's legal team offered for why Hunter should not be held responsible for lying about his drug use on the forms.
Next, they skewer Dr. Anthony Fauci after the former NIH head of allergies and infectious diseases admits to lawmakers that the six-foot social distancing rule and the decision to mandate the masking of kids was not based on science. And Fauci still disputes whether closing schools and extended online learning and mandatory masking stunted kids' educational progress.
Finally, they blast the Justice Department for the utterly stupid explanation that it cannot release the audio of President Biden's interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur over Biden's mishandling of classified documents. The DOJ insists that it must keep the audio under wraps because there is great concern that bad actors could create artificial intelligence "deepfakes" of Biden using the audio.

The Trump Verdict: The Case, The Rule of Law & What Comes Next May 31, 2024

Show notes

Jim is back just in time to discuss the fallout from Thursday's verdict, as a Manhattan jury convicted Donald Trump on all 34 counts of falsifying his campaign expenditures in 2016.
First, they dissect the many different ways this case was twisted to target Trump - from the creative dating on the statute of limitations, to the unprecedented contortions needed to turn it into a felony, to a judge who seemed partial throughout the trial to the basic fact that no one other than Trump would likely have faced these charges. And they note that a lot of legal experts who openly don't like Trump are highly critical of the case being brought and the way it was conducted.
Next, they assess the contention of many on the right that this case and this verdict are clear evidence that the left is openly using the justice system for political ends and that the rule of law itself is in danger of collapse. Jim offers a simple but powerful explanation of what justice should be and why we fell short of that standard in this case.
Finally, they conclude that the Biden team made the right call in sending the president out for an on-camera victory lap on Thursday. They suspect it might have something to do with the disastrous De Niro PR stunt this week - and because Trump may not be the only convicted felon in Biden's orbit within the next few weeks.

Alito Rejects Recusal, Baseless Attack Against Barrett, Awaiting the Trump Verdict May 30, 2024

Show notes

Today, Inez Stepman of the Independent Women's Forum and host of the "High Noon" podcast is in again for Jim. Join Greg and Inez as they discuss Justice Alito rejecting demands from Democrats to recuse himself on certain cases, a hilariously dumb attack from Rolling Stone designed to discredit Justice Barrett, plus Inez's latest observations from the Trump trial.
First, they are pleased, though not surprised, to hear that Justice Samuel Alito refuses to recuse himself from the Trump immunity case (or other possible January 6-related lawsuits), a request made by Senate Democrats on the absurd grounds that his wife flew an upside-down American flag outside their home after a dispute with the neighbors and the Appeal to Heaven flag outside of their beach home.
Next, they shake their heads as Rolling Stone tries to smear Justice Amy Coney Barrett simply due to her husband representing the parent company of Fox News in a defamation lawsuit. They explain why the left is trying to manufacture outrage against the right-leaning justices and they also make the obvious point that spouses of Supreme Court justices are still allowed to have jobs and still allowed to exercise free speech rights.
Finally, they weigh in on Donald Trump's hush money trial, in which jurors are not provided with written instructions from the judge. They also note the judge's guidance that jurors need to agree that at least one of the charges against Trump is valid to have a unanimous verdict - but they don't have to agree on which of those charges he's guilty of. Inez also laments the way in which the justice system has been politicized and weaponized, which this trial has made clear.

Harvard Fakes Free Speech, Another Biden Gas Price Gimmick, Biden's Dumb De Niro Stunt May 29, 2024

Show notes

Inez Stepman of the Independent Women's Forum and host of the "High Noon" podcast is in for Jim. Join Greg and Inez as they discuss Harvard's new "Institutional Voice Working Group" report, Biden's attempts to explain away high oil prices with pre-election pandering, and the fast-approaching denouement of the Trump trial, along with all the implications associated with the verdict.
First, they raise their eyebrows at Harvard's professed commitment to upholding free speech and open inquiry. They point out that Harvard's Institutional Voice Working Group is only making such statements to appease both angry donors and radical students, and that they will, in all likelihood, proceed with anti-speech policies when it comes to conservative voices.
Next, they dissect President Biden's deceptive attempts to use Russia as the reason for high gas prices and to fashion a scapegoat out of oil companies and corporate greed. They also shake their heads at his inappropriate use of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to essentially pander to voters. And they shake their heads at the counterproductive impact California Democrats may inflict with their new law that's supposedly designed to prevent gas price gouging.
Finally, they wonder why the Biden-Harris campaign chose Robert DeNiro, of all people, to make a statement of endorsement outside of the Trump trial proceedings. They also consider the possible impacts, positive and negative, of the trial on Trump's popularity, as well as his chances of acquittal.

Florida School Choice Soars, Gaza Pier Collapse, Buttigieg's EV Bluster May 28, 2024

Show notes

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour Host Scot Bertram is in for Jim. Join Scot and Greg as they discuss Florida's rising enrollment numbers in public school alternatives, the disastrous situation on the Gaza pier, and Transportation Sec. Pete Buttigieg's lackluster explanation for the mere seven EV charging stations that took a $7.5 billion in taxpayer investment to produce.
First, they take time to appreciate the fruits of Florida's school choice policies, as more and more parents choose charter schools, private schools, or homeschooling for their children. They point out that this will force public schools to up their game in order to compete, as many Florida public schools face the threat of closure.
Next, they lament the collapse of the Gaza Pier. They also discuss how this policy always seemed doomed from the moment it was announced. Scot notes that there are still five Americans held hostage by Hamas, and they examine the failure of the Biden administration's foreign policy in the Middle East.
Finally, they laugh right alongside Margaret Brennan at Transportation Sec. Pete Buttigieg's verbose yet milquetoast response to her question about the $7.5 billion spent on the production of EV charging stations, an effort which has produced a grand total of seven charging stations across the country. They observe that consumers are not rushing to buy EV's, and that the government, along with automobile producers, will have to reckon with that.
