Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down Arizona Sen. Ruben Gallego’s efforts to distance himself from disgraced former Rep. Eric Swalwell, the radical view of popular lefty podcaster and influencer Hasan Piker, the anti-capitalist domestic terrorism attack the media is barely covering, and Joy Behar's cluelessness about Christianity.First, they dissect Sen. Gallego’s lengthy comments about Swalwell, once described as a close ally, now dismissed as someone living a “double life.” Gallego insists he had no knowledge of the behavior while accusing Republicans of trying to link him to the scandal.

Gallego, who was Swalwell's best friend and now Gallego says he had no idea about Swalwell's "double life." He also accuses Republicans of trying to tie him to the scandal.

And they explain why Gallego needs to inoculate himself from the Swalwell scandal as quickly as possible.Next, they react to lefty podcaster Hasan Piker doubling down on his claim that Israel is a thousand times worse than Hamas.

The suspect was allegedly inspired by Luigi Mangione, who murdered a health insurance executive in New York City, and claimed that his arson was a protest against capitalism.Finally, they sigh as Joy Behar claims Jesus Christ never claimed to be the Messiah. Even the other lefties on The View corrected her. Greg explains why she's wrong and Jim reveals why this kind of ignorance is so common on that show.Please visit our great sponsors:Prioritize restorative sleep with a mattress made just for you from Brooklyn Bedding—go to https://BrooklynBedding.com and use promo code 3ML for 30% off sitewide.When life feels overwhelming, find your balance again with BetterHelp—sign up at https://BetterHelp.com/3ML to get 10% off.New episodes every weekday. 👉 Subscribe to the show so you never miss a moment.Follow us for more daily clips, updates, and commentary:FacebookInstagramYoutubeOther InfoWebsite
