  • Dems Keep Lying About Charlie Kirk's Killer

    Dems Keep Lying About Charlie Kirk's Killer
    2025/09/16
    Join Jim and Greg for Monday’s 3 Martini Lunch as they call out Democrats and the media for lying about Charlie Kirk’s assassin, criticize Attorney General Pam Bondi for forgetting the First Amendment, and laugh at Pete Buttigieg’s sudden admission that Joe Biden should never have run for re-election.

    First, they update the latest evidence in the case against the shooter who assassinated Charlie Kirk last week in Utah and then hammer elected Democrats and leftists in the media who stressed that the parents were Republicans and tried to peddle the fiction that killer was mad that Kirk was not far right enough, even after the facts were painfully obvious.

    Next, Jim and Greg reprimand Attorney General Pam Bondi for threatening to prosecute people for their despicable celebrations of Charlie Kirk's murder. She also demanded employers fire any employees who did that. They remind Bondi that public pressure on employers over that kind of speech is very different than the government filing charges or trying to get people fired. Jim says that's exactly what the left has been trying to do to conservatives for years.

    Finally, they laugh as former Transportation Sec. Pete Buttigieg weakly follows Kamala Harris' lead and says Joe Biden definitely should not have run for re-election in 2024. But Buttigieg, who also never said a word about his alleged concerns, says it's just time to move on now.

  • You Really Can Oppose Political Figures Without Calling Them Hitler

    You Really Can Oppose Political Figures Without Calling Them Hitler
    2025/09/15
    Join Jim and Greg as they focus on Sen. John Fetterman's refreshingly sensible rebuke of incendiary leftist rhetoric, President Trump trying to rally NATO to boycott Russian oil, and New York Gov. Kathy Hochul finally endorsing Zohran Mamdani for mayor.

    First, they go through some thoroughly irresponsible coverage of Charlie Kirk's record by the New York Times. But they spend more time appreciating Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman urging the left not to reflexively compare political figures to Hitler every time they disagree with someone. Will Fetterman's common sense doom his bid for another term among Democrats in 2028?

    Next, Jim digs into President Trump's call for NATO to unify behind a boycott of Russian oil and impose major tariffs against China until the war in Ukraine is ended satisfactorily. Jim generally likes the idea but urges Trump not to wait if a couple of members don't want to join the effort.

    Finally, they roll their eyes as Gov. Hochul finally endorses Zohran Mamdani for mayor. Why is she finally doing it now? What are her political calculations? And how intense is the pressure getting on Democrats who have not endorsed Mamdani yet?

  • 'We Got Him': Charlie Kirk's Alleged Murderer Now in Custody

    'We Got Him': Charlie Kirk's Alleged Murderer Now in Custody
    2025/09/12
    Join Jim and Greg for the Friday edition of the 3 Martini Lunch as they cover three big stories: the arrest of Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin, whether this tragedy will further silence conservative speech on campus, and Kamala Harris’ contradictory claims about Joe Biden’s re-election bid.

    First, they breathe a sigh of relief as Kirk's 22-year-old alleged murderer is taken into custody. They react to reports that the suspect's family members played key roles in the arrest and there was anti-fascist" writings on the ammunition. They also rip the lefties who argue that Antifa can't really be a problem because they label themselves as anti-fascists.

    Next, they dig into concerns that Kirk's assassination will make it harder to have conservative voices on campus because schools will argue they cannot afford security and the student groups can't either. They also weigh in on the debate over whether people who repulsively posted their excitement over Kirk's murder should lose their jobs.

    Finally, they end the week on the lighter side by noting Kamala Harris' forthcoming book will say it was "reckless" for Joe Biden to try to run for re-election. At the same time, Harris insists Biden was perfectly up to the job. So which is it? Jim also notes how Biden loyalists are now publicly attacking Harris through anonymous quotes in response and the GOP should start popping the popcorn.

  • The Political Assassination of Charlie Kirk

    The Political Assassination of Charlie Kirk
    2025/09/11
    Join Jim and Greg for Thursday's 3 Martini Lunch as they react to the horrifying political assassination of Turning Point USA Founder and CEO Charlie Kirk.

    First, they examine the murder of Kirk at Utah Valley University, breaking down the latest developments in the investigation. They cover details on the weapon used, the ongoing manhunt for the suspect, and evidence suggesting transgender ideology and Antifa extremism may have motivated the attack. They also reflect on the shock and revulsion at hearing the news.

    Next, they chronicle the execrable coverage of the shooting on MSNBC. From the very beginning, anchor Katy Tur implicitly blamed Utah's gun laws. Commentator Matthew Dowd blamed Kirk's "hate speech" for inciting his own shooting. Dowd was fired before the end of the day. And while many on the left did express outrage over the shooting, way too many lefties on social media brazenly celebrated Kirk's death.

    Then, they look back on what Kirk accomplished in his 31 years and whether this tragedy will finally push the nation to confront the forces driving such violence or if it signals a darker tipping point ahead.

    Finally, they reflect on the 24 years since the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

  • What's Behind the Jarring Jobs Revisions?

    What's Behind the Jarring Jobs Revisions?
    2025/09/10
    Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they tackle a pivotal Senate race twist, Israel striking Hamas leaders in Qatar, Russia violating NATO airspace, and the brutal downward revision of U.S. job growth.

    First, after noting that the Democrats may end up with a fierce U.S. primary in Maine, Jim and Greg break down the Israeli bombing of Hamas targets in Doha, Qatar. Several of the highest ranking figures survived but it sends a clear message to Hamas. Of course, the usual domestic and international voices are condemning Israel's actions.

    Next, they react to at least 19 Russian drones entering Polish airspace. Three of them were shot down, possibly more. This is another example of Putin crossing boundaries to see what the response will be. Jim offers some advice to the U.S. government on a message that he wants to be very loud and very clear.

    Finally, they shudder as the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) revised job growth from April 2024-March 2025 downward by more than 900,000 jobs. The BLS revised the numbers down by more than 800,000 the year before that. Greg wonders whether the monthly jobs reports still provide much value if they are regularly way off base. Jim offers some practical and comical reasons for why the monthly reports need to stay.

  • Dem Senate Hopeful's Disturbing Reaction to the 9/11 Terrorists

    Dem Senate Hopeful's Disturbing Reaction to the 9/11 Terrorists
    2025/09/09
    Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they serve up three disturbing but important martinis. They dig into a Democratic Senate candidate’s shocking post-9/11 comments, the latest grim polling in the New York City mayor’s race, and the sharp cultural divide between pro-Trump and pro-Kamala Gen Z voters.

    First, they react to reports that Maine Democrat U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner wrote in 2002 that we should try to understand the motivations of the 9/11 terrorists because "one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter." Platner was in high school at the time and subsequently served four overseas deployments as a U.S. Marine. But he is also publicly touting his student activism as part of his campaign. He is also strongly anti-Israel and enthusiastically aligns himself with Bernie Sanders.

    Next, Jim and Greg recoil at the latest New York Times/Siena College poll showing socialist Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani with a commanding lead in the New York City mayor’s race. While numbers tighten in a hypothetical two-person race, it's not a two-person race. They also wince at Mamdani's recent comments about why he wants government-run grocery stores, when they have a long track record of failure.

    Finally, they go through the numbers of an NBC News poll, as Gen Z men who voted for President Trump have much different and much more traditional ideas of what constitutes success compared to Gen Z women who voted for Kamala Harris. The differences are especially stark on whether marriage and children are a big part of being successful.

  • Media Fear the Right Might Make People Aware of Murder

    Media Fear the Right Might Make People Aware of Murder
    2025/09/08
    Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they spotlight three major media stories—from CBS changing its interview editing policy, to reporters downplaying violent crime for political reasons, to a bizarre demand from a disgraced Boston politician.

    First, they welcome a new CBS News practice to allow interviews to air unedited on Face the Nation after Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem ripped CBS for gutting her answers in a recent appearance. Jim and Greg also note that mainstream media editing controversies always seem to benefit the left.

    Next, they scold Marc Caputo of Axios for fretting about "MAGA influencers drawing repeated attention to violent attacks to elevate the issue of urban crime — and accuse mainstream media of under-covering shocking cases." It's all connected to the mainstream media's silence over the grisly, unnecessary murder of a female Ukrainian refugee in Charlotte by a guy who had been arrested many times for violent crimes. Is the biggest problem calling attention to the murder...or is it maybe the murder itself?

    Finally, Jim and Greg are stunned by a former member of the Boston City Council who was sentenced to prison for fraud. It's not even the crimes that surprise them but the member's insistence that media stop talking about her and her crimes because she is an introvert and it hurts her feelings.

  • Do Dems Hate Trump More than They Hate Violent Crime?

    Do Dems Hate Trump More than They Hate Violent Crime?
    2025/09/05
    Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser taking heat from other Democrats for wanting to continue cooperating with the feds to fight crime, the August job numbers coming in lower than expected, and Joe Biden being more clueless about his own pardons that we previously knew.

    First, after reacting to Trump urging two candidates to drop out of the New York City mayor's race, they welcome Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser wanting to keep working with federal officials as much as possible to fight crime - even when the current emergency is over. Of course, other Democrats in the city are horrified that Bowser would want to keep the relationship going. So, who do lefties want to stop the most - President Trump or violent criminals?

    Next, Jim and Greg grimace as the August job numbers come in at 22,000, well below expectations. Will this finally trigger an interest rate cut? How much are the tariffs impacting these numbers? And are the shifts partly due to illegal immigrants losing or leaving jobs while American citizens step in to fill them?

    Finally, Jim and Greg shake their heads at reports that Biden staffers didn’t know whether to move forward on pardons and commutations in his final year because the president never reviewed the files. Most of the orders were signed with an autopen, revealing Biden was even more disengaged on the issue than previously thought.
