Dismantling the Dems' Obamacare Arguments

Join Jim and Greg for Thursday's 3 Martini Lunch as they highlight Zohran Mamdani's radical responses in a Fox News interview, President Trump approving covert CIA operations in Venezuela, and the Democrats still tripping all over themselves on the government shutdown.First, they react to socialist New York City mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani’s evasive answers about Hamas disarming and his shocking statement that he would “exhaust every legal option” to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he visited New York City while Mamdani was mayor. While some are disarmed by Mamdani's calm demeanor and frequent smiles, Jim says he came across as "shameless" in the interview.Next, they analyze a New York Times report that President Trump has approved covert CIA missions in Venezuela aimed at ousting socialist dictator Nicolás Maduro. Jim and Greg would be thrilled to see Maduro go, but Jim warns that there better be a clear plan on what comes next after our recent efforts at installing governments in Iraq and Afghanistan.Finally, they highlight House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries' cringeworthy attempt to blame the government shutdown on House Republicans. They also look at new polling showing that voters blame both parties for the shutdown. And will Democrats fold after their big anti-Trump rallies this weekend or forge ahead in a fight they cannot win?Please visit our great sponsors:Sponsored by Quo, formerly known as Open Phone: Get started free and save 20% on your first 6 months and port your existing numbers at no extra charge—no missed calls, no missed customers.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday edition of the 3 Martini Lunch! Today, they tackle Democrats’ misleading spin on Obamacare subsidies, the Trump administration’s $20 billion bailout for Argentina, and an escalating Senate primary fight in Massachusetts.First, they highlight former Michigan Rep. Peter Meijer’s sharp takedown of Democrats blaming Republicans for the expiring Obamacare subsidies. Meijer reminds CNN that Democrats created these COVID-era subsidies and agreed twice to let them lapse. Jim and Greg also explain how this whole fight proves yet again that Obamacare is a massive failure and was designed to fail.Next, Jim breaks down Argentina’s economic turmoil and the U.S. decision to buy $20 billion of its devalued currency. Will this help give Javier Milei's free market economic agenda more time to work or is it too late?Finally, they dive into the latest Democratic Senate brawl, this time in Massachusetts. Eighty-year-old Sen. Ed Markey faces a challenge from Rep. Seth Moulton, who bizarrely argues that Markey isn’t progressive enough and pledges to enact government-run health care.Please visit our great sponsors:Stop putting off those doctors’ appointments and go to https://ZocDoc.com/3ML to find and instantly book a top-rated doctor today.Sponsored by Quo, formerly known as Open Phone: Get started free and save 20% on your first 6 months and port your existing numbers at no extra charge—no missed calls, no missed customers.

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they welcome tightening polls in the Virginia governor’s race, cringe at Christiane Amanpour’s disturbing comments about Israeli hostages, and preview what could be an ugly U.S. Senate primary among Democrats in Maine.First, they break down new polling showing Republican Winsome Earle-Sears cutting Democrat Abigail Spanberger’s lead to less than three points. The momentum shift comes after revelations that Democratic attorney general nominee Jay Jones sent violent text messages about murdering political opponents and wishing harm on their children. The same poll shows GOP Attorney General Jason Miyares up nearly six points over Jones. Jim unloads on Jones for acting like a "psychopath" toward the opposing party, but he's not sure it will be enough to push Republicans to victory.Next, they wince as CNN's Christiane Amanpour suggests Israeli hostages were treated better than people in Gaza during the recent war. She later issued an on-camera apology, but Jim is disgusted that Amanpour could not hide her disdain for Israel for even one day.Finally, they turn to Maine, where Gov. Janet Mills is entering the U.S. Senate race to challenge Republican Sen. Susan Collins. Mills is leaning heavily on her brief defiance of President Trump over gender policies. Meanwhile, a big primary fight among Democrats could be coming. The 77-year-old Mills faces veteran Graham Platner, who is enthusiastically endorsed by Bernie Sanders.Please visit our great sponsors:Sponsored by Quo, formerly known as Open Phone: Get started free and save 20% on your first 6 months and port your existing numbers at no extra charge—no missed calls, no missed customers.

Join Jim and Greg for the Columbus Day 3 Martini Lunch as they rejoice with the freed Israeli hostages. They also examine some serious Democrat hypocrisy over the government shutdown and shake their heads at the people wanting credit for Trump's Middle East deal.First, they are thrilled and relieved that the 20 living Israeli hostages are now free from Hamas captivity. It's a day that many feared would never come. Jim explains why this is the best day of President Trump's second term so far and what he thinks finally got all parties to yes on Trump's plan.Next, they applaud Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan for exposing the shutdown hypocrisy of Sen. Chris Murphy and enjoy Murphy’s awkward attempt to defend himself. Jim and Greg also preview what’s likely to happen if the partial shutdown drags on for several more weeks.Finally, they shake their heads at the people implying they deserve some credit for the return of the living hostages. From British Prime Minister Keir Starmer to Sen. Elizabeth Warren to former Biden Sec. of State Antony Blinken, it's been fascinating and more than a little pathetic to watch.Please visit our great sponsors:Stop putting off those doctors’ appointments and go to https://ZocDoc.com/3ML to find and instantly book a top-rated doctor today.Sponsored by Quo, formerly known as Open Phone: Get started free and save 20% on your first 6 months and port your existing numbers at no extra charge—no missed calls, no missed customers.

Jim Geraghty is back! Join Jim and Greg on Friday’s 3 Martini Lunch as Jim shares highlights from his recent 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.Please visit our great sponsors:Open a new qualified IRA or cash account with Noble Gold and get a free 10-ounce Silver Flag Bar plus a Silver American Eagle Proof Coin—visit https://NobleGoldInvestments.com/3MLSupport your health with Dose Daily.  Save 25% on your first month when you subscribe at https://DoseDaily.co/3ML or enter code 3ML at checkout. OneSkin uses the patented OS-01 Peptide™ to improve skin and scalp health at the cellular level—try it now with 15% off using code 3ML at https://OneSkin.co

Inez Stepman of the Independent Women’s Forum fills in for Jim on the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch. Join Inez and Greg as they discuss what they hope will soon be the release of the remaining hostages held by Hamas, a major economic policy blunder by the Democrat running for governor in Virginia, and a surprising dead heat in the 2026 New York governor’s race.First, they welcome reports that Hamas has agreed to release the living hostages and the remains of the rest as part of Phase 1 of President Trump’s Middle East plan. Inez cautions against celebrating until the hostages are actually home but credits Trump for getting Hamas sympathizers in Qatar and Turkey to pressure Hamas into accepting the deal.Next, they highlight Virginia Democratic gubernational nominee Abigail Spanberger openly supporting a 2020 law passed and signed by Democrats that mandates all energy in Virginia must be renewable by 2050. There are two problems with that. There's no indication that will be feasible. And if it is, energy costs will skyrocket by thousands of dollars per year for the average customer. Inez argues that Spanberger is another Democrat falsely branded as a moderate despite her progressive record.Finally, they break down new polling that shows New York Gov. Kathy Hochul locked in a statistical tie with her likely GOP challenger, Rep. Elise Stefanik. Hochul's endorsement of Zohran Mamdani for mayor in New York City does not appear to be resonating well throughout the state. Please visit our great sponsors:Support your health with Dose Daily.  Save 25% on your first month when you subscribe at https://DoseDaily.co/3ML or enter code 3ML at checkout. OneSkin uses the patented OS-01 Peptide™ to improve skin and scalp health at the cellular level—try it now with 15% off using code 3ML at https://OneSkin.coCelebrate World Mental Health Day by starting your journey with BetterHelp—get 10% off your first month at https://BetterHelp.com/3ML

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour host Scot Bertram fills in for Jim on Wednesday’s 3 Martini Lunch. Join Scot and Greg as they dig into new polling showing most Americans leaning right on key cultural and political issues, media disinterest in the attempt to attack Supreme Court justices with hundreds of explosives, and the arrogant behavior of California’s leading Democrat candidate for governor. First, they break down the latest Harvard/Harris poll revealing that most Americans want  all criminal illegal aliens deported and a majority wants all illegal immigrants removed. Large majorities also support rooting out government waste and fraud and oppose biological men competing in women’s sports. Scot and Greg break down why we're seeing these results. Next, they expose the surprisingly quiet coverage of an attempted terrorist attack against Supreme Court justices at Washington’s annual Red Mass. A man was arrested on site with more than 200 explosives. And yet the media seem to have little interest in the story. Could it be the would-be terrorist's manifesto explaining why he wanted to kill several of the justices? Finally, they spotlight an obnoxious interview from former Rep. Katie Porter, who is now leading the Democratic field for California governor. Porter could not handle a few simple follow-up questions from a reporter and was on the verge of cutting off the interview as a result. Unfortunately, this performance is very on brand for Porter.Please visit our great sponsors:Support your health with Dose Daily.  Save 25% on your first month when you subscribe at https://DoseDaily.co/3ML or enter code 3ML at checkout. OneSkin uses the patented OS-01 Peptide™ to improve skin and scalp health at the cellular level—try it now with 15% off using code 3ML at https://OneSkin.coCelebrate World Mental Health Day by starting your journey with BetterHelp—get 10% off your first month at https://BetterHelp.com/3ML

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour host Scot Bertram fills in for Jim on Tuesday's 3 Martini Lunch. Join Scot and Greg as they expose the escalating hostility of Illinois Democrats toward ICE, new revelations that the Biden FBI secretly tracked the phone records of Republican U.S. senators, and new disturbing allegations against the Democrats' nominee for Virginia attorney general.First, they react to multiple shocking incidents in the Chicago area where radical protesters boxed in ICE officers with cars and carried out hit-and-run tactics to disrupt operations. Despite the danger, Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson continue to vilify ICE.  And while the superintendent of Chicago police implores demonstrators not to confront ICE personnel, there are also multiple instances of Chicago police officers being ordered not to aid ICE officers in distress.Next, they examine revelations that former Special Counsel Jack Smith used the FBI to monitor the cell phone communications of eight U.S. senators and one House member during the January 6th investigation. Scot argues this fits a long pattern of surveillance abuse under the Obama and Biden administrations. Will the GOP Congress be able to get to the bottom of this?Finally, the controversy deepens in Virginia as Democratic attorney general nominee Jay Jones faces new allegations that he once suggested a few dead police officers might be needed to stop police shootings. The accusation comes just days after his admission to sending texts wishing death on a Republican lawmaker and his family. Jones adamantly denies the allegation but Scot explains why his denials fall flat considering what we already know.Please visit our great sponsors:Support your health with Dose Daily.  Save 25% on your first month when you subscribe at https://DoseDaily.co/3ML or enter code 3ML at checkout. OneSkin uses the patented OS-01 Peptide™ to improve skin and scalp health at the cellular level—try it now with 15% off using code 3ML at https://OneSkin.coCelebrate World Mental Health Day by starting your journey with BetterHelp—get 10% off your first month at https://BetterHelp.com/3ML

Kylee Griswold, managing editor at The Federalist and host of The Kylee Cast, is in for Jim on Monday's 3 Martini Lunch. Today, Kylee and Greg discuss the Virginia Democrats' attorney general nominee Jay Jones and his extensive texts wishing death for a political opponent and his children. They also discuss the ridiculously light sentence for the man who tried to kill Justice Brett Kavanaugh and the media finally admitting facts about the D.C. crime rate that the right was touting months ago.First, they unpack the disturbing 2022 texts from the Virginia Democrats’ current attorney general nominee, Jay Jones, who repeatedly told a Republican colleague he’d like "two bullets to the head" of then–House Speaker Todd Gilbert and even wished death upon Gilbert’s child so it might convince Gilbert to change his mind on policy. Kylee and Greg break down Jones’s weak responses to the scandal and the largely indifferent reaction from Virginia Democrats.Next, they recoil at a federal judge sentencing the man who plotted and tried to kill Justice Kavanaugh and other conservative justices after the Supreme Court opinion overturning Roe v. Wade was leaked. While the Justice Department recommended 30 years in prison, Judge Deborah Boardman sentenced Nicholas Roske to only eight years. And a major factor seems to be that Roske started identifying as a woman named Sophie after his arrest and Judge Boardman was worried about Roske in a men's prison. But Kylee also explains even more egregious actions by Boardman to whittle the sentence down to eight years.Finally, they shake their heads as The Washington Post suddenly discovers that D.C. police officials have been downgrading serious charges to make crime stats look better. Trump supporters pointed out this manipulation months ago when the president ordered a 30-day federal takeover of D.C. policing, but the media dismissed it at the time. Why won't they tell the truth when it matters?Please visit our great sponsors:Open a new qualified IRA or cash account with Noble Gold and get a free 10-ounce Silver Flag Bar plus a Silver American Eagle Proof Coin—visit https://NobleGoldInvestments.com/3MLSupport your health with Dose Daily.  Save 25% on your first month when you subscribe at https://DoseDaily.co/3ML or enter code 3ML at checkout.OneSkin uses the patented OS-01 Peptide™ to improve skin and scalp health at the cellular level—try it now with 15% off using code 3ML at https://OneSkin.co

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour host Scot Bertram fills in for Jim on Friday’s 3 Martini Lunch. Join Scot and Greg as they break down the end of taxpayer-funded subsidies for electric vehicles, Zohran Mamdani’s push to dismantle gifted education, and trust in the news media falling to yet another all-time low.First, they welcome the expiration of $7,500 federal subsidies for electric vehicle buyers, which ended in September under the Republicans’ One Big Beautiful Bill. The subsidies were paid for with your tax dollars. Automakers enjoyed a brief sales surge before the deadline but are now bracing for a steep drop in demand. Scot points out that despite Democrats’ efforts to force us to accept EV's, most people just don't want one.Next, they groan as Democrat New York City mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani vows to end gifted education from kindergarten through second grade. Scot and Greg explain how the left is obsessed with equity instead of excellence. So instead of pushing every student to be the best they can be, they hold back the higher-achieving students to create more equal outcomes.Finally, they review the latest Gallup poll showing only 28 percent of Americans have trust in the media, which is yet another record low. Scot gives one example from just the past few weeks to explain why that loss of trust is fully justified. They also explain how this gives other news sources to win that trust. They also note efforts by CBS and The Washington Post to bring in more voices and more perspectives to their news and opinion content.Please visit our great sponsors:Get 20% off your first purchase of classic menswear.
