3 Martini Lunch – Political Humor & Commentary

Join Jim and Greg as they react to the presidents of Harvard, MIT, and Penn having a very hard time deciding whether large groups of students calling for genocide in Israel constitute harassing speech.

Mike Lee for blasting FBI Director Chri...

Join Jim and Greg as they applaud North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum for withdrawing after not qualifying for this week's debate and realizing he will not be the GOP nominee.

Join Jim and Greg as they serve up two very bad martinis and a crazy one that is also terrible.

They also cover th...

Join Jim and Greg as they remember the long and complicated legacy of former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, who advised presidents for 60 years before his death Wednesday at the age of 100.

Today, Greg and Andy discuss new sanctions from the U.S. Treasury Department against individuals and entities helping for finance Iran's military and IRGC.

Join Jim and Greg as they wince at a new Bloomberg reports showing how much more Americans are paying for food, electricity, water, rent, childcare, and much more.

They also groan at reports that just one day after Biden reasonably said he does not trust casualty figures fr...

Join Jim and Greg as they return from Thanksgiving break with good, mixed, and crazy martinis. First, they cheer the U.S. Navy for ending a Houthi assault on an Israeli-linked ship off the coast of Yemen and then taking the pirates into custody.

Continuing their long Thanksgiving tradition, Jim and Greg unveil their lists of things they are politically thankful for, although this year they don't stick as close to politics as they have in past years. Jim reflects on last week's Pro-Israel march in Washington and the stark contrast to the hateful and often violent demonstrations we've seen from the left for many years. Greg explains why he'...

Join Jim and Greg as they appreciate new research from Trinity University in Ireland and The Ohio State University showing that the climate alarmists are way off and that increased carbon dioxide is absorbed by trees and others plants and makes them stronger - just like we learned in basic biology class. They also wince as the Biden administration continues to tread very lightly with Iran despite...

Join Jim and Greg as they serve up three critical martinis after opening with thoughts on the passing of former First Lady Rosalynn Carter, who died Sunday at age 96. Then they react to libertarian Javier Milei's dominant win in Argentina's presidential race amid a massive economic crisis there. They also note Milei's unconventional approach to politics and the media's reflexive opposition to him....

Join Jim and Greg as they serve up two good martinis and a bad one to wrap up the week. First, they welcome Major League Baseball quietly announcing the 2025 All-Star Game will be in Atlanta, never mentioning that it removed the game from Atlanta in 2021 under the absurd pretext that Georgia's new voting laws were racist and constituted voter suppression. They're also glad to report that were some...

Join Jim and Greg as they digest the scathing House Ethics Committee report concluding that New York Rep. George Santos likely committed multiple federal offenses in allegedly defrauding his own constituents and others for his personal gain. In addition, they're pleased to hear Santos will not run for re-election, meaning this bizarre episode will be over - at least politically - in just about a y...

Join Jim and Greg as they celebrate the huge, peaceful, civilized rally in support of Israel on Tuesday, an event which brought a very welcome contrast to the violent, hateful demonstrations seen on campus and beyond against Israel and even supportive of Hamas.

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome the detailed reporting from CNN's Nic Robertson, as Israeli Defense Forces explained to him on camera how Hamas was using a hospital in Gaza as an armory and military command post - a strategy that unnecessarily put many civilians in harm's way.

Join Jim and Greg as they applaud South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott for his presidential campaign but also for recognizing that it's not going to happen for him in 2024 and suspending his White House bid.

But instead of arguing he should retire, the piece suggests...

Former Chief Assistant U.S. Attorney and National Review Contributing Editor Andy McCarthy is in for Jim, who will be back on Monday. Today, Andy and Greg break down West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin announcing he will not run for the U.S. Senate again in 2024 and will instead travel the nation "to see if there is interest in creating a movement to mobilize the middle." Andy and Greg assess the impac...

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour Host Scot Bertram is in for Jim. Today, Scot and Greg dissect a poll showing President Biden with a 52 disapproval rate in deep blue California.

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome the House of Representatives delivering a bipartisan censure to Michigan Rep, Rashida Tlaib for her brazen lies about the Gaza hospital bombing and her overt gaslighting about the true meaning of "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free."

Join Jim and Greg as they set the stage for today's off-year elections that will have big consequences in states like Virginia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Jersey and more.

How much does her endorsement matter and will we actually get a competitive primary? They also...

Join Jim and Greg as they respond to a new New York Times/Siena College showing Donald Trump leading President Biden in five of six swing states, and the calls from Democrats for Biden not to run next year are growing louder.

From the physical characteristics of the island to the massive urban setti...

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome Virginia's investigation of a domestic Islamic organization over possible ties to terrorist organizations.
