3 Martini Lunch – Political Humor & Commentary

Welcome to Last Call, a look at the biggest stories Jim and Greg covered over the past week on the 3 Martini Lunch. This week, they focus on the U.S. military's incredible execution in Operation Epic Fury against Iran, the downfall of Homeland Security Sec. Kristi Noem, and the Dems' disturbing fondness for a truly radical Senate candidate.

First, Jim and Greg look at the jaw-dropping performance of the U.S. military in the war against Iran. Within the first few hours, the United States and Israel killed Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khameini and dozens of other top officials and seized military dominance by air and sea.

Next, they look at how the week ended with President Trump firing Homeland Security Sec. Kristi Noem. Her congressional testimony seems to have been the final straw, as she admitted to spending $220 million on ads for the department. She claims President Trump knew about those costs and approved them. Noem also said there was open bidding for those contracts. That does not appear to be true.

Then, they shake their heads as Democrats are starting to rally around Maine U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner despite his Nazi Totenkopf tattoo, radical writings, and disturbing associations. So why is the left OK with Platner? 

Finally, the "chaser" for the week is how a once famous TV pitchman got wiped out in a Texas congressional primary.

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they examine new questions surrounding departing DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s $220 million advertising spending, react to a weak February jobs report, and marvel at the cutting-edge missile technology that reportedly eliminated Ayatollah Khameini and many other top Iranian leaders.

First, they continue digging into how the Department of Homeland Security spent nearly a quarter of a billion dollars on advertising. The scrutiny intensifies as details emerge showing that only a small number of contractors were considered for the work, many of them with personal connections to outgoing Sec. Kristi Noem.

Next, they wince at the February jobs report, which shows a net loss of 92,000 jobs and the unemployment rate rising to 4.4 percent. Some experts note other key points, including that many of the job losses are in government. But Jim argues Republicans must avoid repeating a key mistake from the Biden era when it comes to the economy.

Finally, Jim and Greg are fascinated by the Blue Sparrow missile used in the strike that killed Ayatollah Khameini and dozens of other Iranian leaders last weekend. The technology behind the weapon is remarkable, but Jim still has one important question.

Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch, as they marvel at lefties rallying around a Senate candidate despite multiple Nazi-related controversies. They also discuss why Homeland Security Sec. Kristi Noem's tenure is ending soon, and the shady way Montana Republicans manipulated the ballot at the filing deadline.

First, they marvel as Democrats and left-leaning media figures suddenly rally around Maine U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner despite multiple controversies, including his Nazi-related tattoo and troubling writings and associations. After initially distancing themselves from Platner, many on the left are now overlooking the baggage because they believe he offers their best chance to defeat Sen. Susan Collins.

Next, they walk through the National Review exclusive explaining why President Trump was running out of patience with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. From taxpayer-funded ads that boosted her personal profile to how she handled ICE operations in Minnesota and more, Noem is providing Trump too many headaches. And since this recording, Trump made Noem's exit official.

Finally, they blast Republicans in Montana for a last-minute maneuver that effectively cleared the field in a major race. Sen. Steve Daines announced on the filing deadline that he would not seek re-election, leaving just one candidate in the contest. Why are some politicians afraid to give voters a real choice?

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down the results of the high-stakes Texas U.S. Senate primaries, assess the latest U.S. military successes against Iran, and unpack the truth about who Qatar actually arrested on terrorism charges.

First, they analyze the results in the Texas U.S. Senate primary, where James Talarico defeated Rep. Jasmine Crockett. Jim and Greg explain how Crockett partially blamed Republicans for her loss and examine just how radical Talarico’s record is, especially in a state like Texas. On the Republican side, they wince as Sen. John Cornyn and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton head toward a long, ugly runoff.

Next, they react to the Pentagon’s latest briefing, which detailed significant destruction of Iran’s air assets, naval forces, and missile launchers. The kinetic part of this operation is going as well as possible.

Finally, they revisit Tucker Carlson's dubious claims that Israel’s Mossad was plotting to bomb Qatar. Now, Qatari officials now say they have arrested two terrorist cells, but they sure weren't from the Mossad.

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they chronicle Iranian officials getting blown up as they try to choose new leaders, President Trump dismissing the rantings of anti-Israel figures on the right, and the and the investigation into the Austin, Texas, terrorist attack.

First, they react to reports that remaining Iranian officials continue gathering in person to select new leadership, only to be eliminated in additional air strikes. Jim and Greg highlight what this reveals about Israeli intelligence capabilities, as well as the stubbornness or stupidity of Iran’s regime figures

Next, they go through the baseless ramblings of Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, and others criticizing the attacks on Iran. They note President Trump’s willingness to directly dismiss complaints from Carlson and Megyn Kelly and discuss why presidents often govern very differently on national security than they campaign, especially on national security.

Finally, they examine the mass shooting in Austin, Texas, which authorities are investigating as an act of terrorism. Jim expresses cautious optimism that the absence of additional attacks in recent days may suggest concerns about widespread Iranian sleeper cells operating inside the United States have been overstated.
