Trump Agrees to Ceasefire, But Can Iran Be Trusted?

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down President Trump’s agreement to a two-week ceasefire with Iran, the political implications of a Republican victory in a key Georgia U.S. House special election, a decisive liberal win on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, and the ongoing success of the Artemis II mission.First, they take a deep dive into what we know so far about the temporary U.S.-Iran ceasefire, examining whether the deal advances American interests. Jim zeroes in on shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, Iran's absurd conditions to negotiate, and what national security goals must be achieved before agreeing to anything long term.Next, they react to Republican Clay Fuller’s win in the Georgia special election to replace Marjorie Taylor Greene in Congress. Fuller won by nearly 12 points, but since Trump won the district by 37 points in 2024, how much should the narrower results cocern the GOP heading into the midterms?Then, they wince at the results in Wisconsin, where the Democrat-endorsed judicial candidate cruises to a commanding victory in the state Supreme Court race, further tilting the court’s ideological balance.Finally, they marvel at the accomplishments of Artemis II as it now returns to Earth.Please visit our great sponsors:Stop putting off those doctors’ appointments and visit https://Zocdoc.com/3ML to find and instantly book a top-rated doctor today.Better plants, better growing, and an extra 20% off with code MARTINI at https://FastGrowingtrees.com/Martini for a limited time; terms and conditions may apply.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

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down President Trump’s search for the source of a sensitive Iran rescue leak, the staggering new funding demands for California’s troubled high-speed rail project, and explosive allegations surrounding Rep. Eric Swalwell’s gubernatorial run.First, they fully support President Trump's frustration with someone leaking critically important and sensitive information during the mission to rescue two American aviators from Iran. But they also caution that trying to figure it out by targeting media who reported the leaks is likely to end in more frustration.Next, they shake their heads in disbelief as officials in California insist $126 billion will finish the high speed rail project that is already way over budget and hopelessly behind schedule. Jim and Greg explain why this project has been such a mess and react to those with the gall to ask for even more taxpayer money.Then, they examine allegations from a left-wing attorney claiming Eric Swalwell engaged in inappropriate relationships with multiple interns and required non-disclosure agreements. If some of these women go public, what will be the impact on Swalwell? Jim and Greg also react to President Trump endorsing Steve Hilton in the California governor's race.Finally, Greg celebrates the University of Michigan winning the NCAA basketball title.Please visit our great sponsors:Stop putting off those doctors’ appointments and visit https://Zocdoc.com/3ML to find and instantly book a top-rated doctor today.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

Jim Geraghty is back! Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down the jaw-dropping success of the U.S. military in rescuing two Americans shot down over Iran, the far-left bias pushed in an AP government textbook, and the eyebrow-raising parenting confessions from Jennifer Siebel Newsom, wife of California Gov. Gavin Newsom. Plus, they welcome the return of Savannah Guthrie to NBC’s Today show.First, they marvel at the U.S. military’s unwavering commitment to leaving no man behind and highlight the remarkable coordination between armed forces and the intelligence community to extract the American flight crew before Iranian forces could capture them. Next, they react to an X post from New York Post and Fox News columnist Karol Markowitz, who spotlights a controversial political spectrum chart from an AP high school government textbook. The graphic places major political figures on axes of authoritarianism vs. libertarianism and economic left vs. right. The results are insane. Is your child being taught this too?Then, they dive into comments from California "First Partner" Jennifer Siebel Newsom, who revealed that she had her sons play with dolls and she makes sure the hero is a female in every story she reads to her kids. Jim and Greg reveal what they think of this parenting advice and what impact this could have on Gavin Newsom's presidential ambitions.Finally, they're glad to see Savannah Guthrie return to the Today show after more than two month of a nightmare that's still unresolved.Please visit our great sponsors:Stop putting off those doctors’ appointments and visit https://Zocdoc.com/3ML to find and instantly book a top-rated doctor today.Better plants, better growing, and an extra 20% off with code MARTINI at https://FastGrowingtrees.com/Martini for a limited time; terms and conditions may apply.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

Charlie explains why the filing is a routine legal strategy and not evidence supporting conspiracy theories promoted by figures like Candace Owens.Next, Greg ane former Virginia lawmaker Nick Freitas highlight the latest series of "No Kings" protests around the U.S. last weekend and how numerous rallies featured communist flags and banners. They also highlight how this supposedly grassroots effort is funded and carefully organized by very far left groups. Then, Nick and Greg get a good laugh as Democrats in Pennsylvania try to approve a resolution honoring March as National Women's Month. But a very simple Republican amendment ended up derailing the whole thing. We share the story and discuss how the the party that supposedly champions women ends up insulting and disrespecting them over and over again.In this week's chaser, Greg and Charlie Cooke react to the bizarre story of twelve tons of KitKat products stolen in Europe.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour host Scot Bertram fills in for Jim Geraghty on on the Friday 3 Martini Lunch. Today, Scot and Greg discuss President Trump firing Attorney General Pam Bondi, anti-Semitism driving a majority of hate crimes in New York City, the radical beliefs of a competitive U.S. Senate candidate in Michigan, and King Charles III skipping an Easter message..First, they react to President Trump's dismissal of Pam Bondi. Trump insists Bondi did a good job and they she will take on a different role in the administration. So why did Trump make this move? Scot and Greg offer a couple of explanations for why this happened and why it happened now.Next, they examine troubling new data from the NYPD showing that a majority of hate crimes in New York City during the first quarter of 2026 were driven by anti-Semitism. Scot explains why he thinks Islamic radicals feel emboldened right now in New York City and beyond. Greg suggests there's a pretty simple way to bring those numbers way down.Then, they take a close look at Abdul El-Sayed, one of the Democrats running for U.S. Senate in Michigan in a very close primary. New reporting this week shows El-Sayed wanted to avoid a public response to the U.S. killing of Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khameini. And a former member of the campaign staff says El-Sayed true beliefs on Israel and other issues are deeply disturbing.In the Friday chaser, Scot and Greg shake their heads as the UK's King Charles III declines to give an Easter message just weeks after issuing a very positive statement for Ramadan.Please visit our great sponsors:Upgrade to polished and comfortable with Mizzen & Main — get 20% off your first purchase at https://MizzenandMain.com with promo code 3ML20.Take your personal data back with Incogni—use code 3ML for 60% off an annual plan at https://Incogni.com/3MLMake this the season where no opportunity or customer slips away with Quo.

Inez Stepman of the Independent Women's Forum is in for Jim Geraghty for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch. Today, Inez and Greg discuss President Trump's Iran speech, the agreement among congressional Republicans to fund most of the Department of Homeland Security, and another facepalm moment from Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson.First, they're glad President Trump once again explained just how devastatingly successful the U.S. military has been against Iran over the past month and that operations should be over within 2-3 weeks. But there are still big questions about what conditions we need to say it's over and what happens after that in the region.Next, they react to House Speaker Mike Johnson agreeing to take up and pass the Senate bill funding most of Homeland Security, except parts of ICE and Customs and Border Protection. It's a win for airline passengers and also for DHS employees who haven't been paid since mid-February. But it's another example of Republicans making frustrating concessions.Finally, they cringe at Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s unusual illustration defending the prevailing interpretation of birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment. Inez also explains why the Trump administration is unlikely to win the case currently before the court.Please visit our great sponsors:Upgrade to polished and comfortable with Mizzen & Main — get 20% off your first purchase at https://MizzenandMain.com with promo code 3ML20.Take your personal data back with Incogni—use code 3ML for 60% off an annual plan at https://Incogni.com/3MLMake this the season where no opportunity or customer slips away with Quo.

Inez Stepman of the Independent Women’s Forum fills in for Jim Geraghty on Wednesday’s 3 Martini Lunch. Today, Inez and Greg break down a major Supreme Court free speech ruling, the latest birthright citizenship arguments before the court, Congress leaving DHS unfunded for another two weeks, and the jaw-dropping cost of college at George Washington University & other schools.First, they react to the Supreme Court’s 8-1 ruling against a Colorado law that banned therapists from counseling minors to accept that their biological sex is correct. Inez also slams Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson as essentially writing op-eds from the bench instead of rooting decisions in the law. They also discuss today's high profile birthright citizenship case.Next, they take Congress to task for leaving Washington for a two-week break while the Department of Homeland Security remains unfunded. Inez argues this dysfunction underscores the need for at least a talking filibuster, and maybe an end to the fllibuster altogether, to get things done. Greg is skeptical that ending the filibuster would be good in the short term or the long term.Then, they dig into the skyrocketing cost of higher education after reports that George Washington University will charge returning students up to $98,000 per year for tuition, room, and board. Inez explains how government involvement in higher education continues to drive prices higher, leaving families burdened while universities reap the benefits.Finally, they highlight the scheduled launch of the Artemis II mission, which aims to send astronauts around the moon and pave the way for future lunar landings and a permanent base there. They're glad to see America aiming high again, both in exploration and for our national security.Please visit our great sponsors:Upgrade to polished and comfortable with Mizzen & Main — get 20% off your first purchase at https://MizzenandMain.com with promo code 3ML20.Take your personal data back with Incogni—use code 3ML for 60% off an annual plan at https://Incogni.com/3MLMake this the season where no opportunity or customer slips away with Quo.

Charlie and Greg break down misleading Daily Mail reporting fueling conspiracy theories about the Charlie Kirk murder case, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt blasting media silence on a high-profile crime committed by an illegal alien, and backlash from The View over comments encouraging young women to get married and have kids.First, they dismantle a Daily Mail report highlighting a defense motion in the Charlie Kirk murder case that’s being framed as a bombshell revelation. Charlie explains why the filing is a routine legal strategy and not evidence supporting conspiracy theories promoted by figures like Candace Owens.They also praise Karoline Leavitt for calling out major broadcast networks for giving minimal coverage to the murder of Loyola University student Sheridan Gorman by an illegal alien. Charlie and Greg examine the media’s reluctance to spotlight crimes involving illegal immigrants and the left's pattern of protecting violent criminal illegals from deportation.Next, they dig into why the women on The View would be so horrified that a speaker at last week's CPAC encouraged young women to prioritize marriage and having children while they are young. Charlie also points out the policy ignorance on display in the reaction on The View. Finally, in today’s chaser, they react to the bizarre story of twelve tons of KitKat products stolen in Europe. While condemning the theft, Charlie and Greg reveal which candy or snack they would be most tempted to swipe.Please visit our great sponsors:Upgrade to polished and comfortable with Mizzen & Main — get 20% off your first purchase at https://MizzenandMain.com with promo code 3ML20.Take your personal data back with Incogni—use code 3ML for 60% off an annual plan at https://Incogni.com/3MLMake this the season where no opportunity or customer slips away with Quo.

This week, they discuss Joe Kent offering to testify for the defense in the Charlie Kirk murder case, an Illinois politician blaming the victim for being murdered by an illegal alien, and Jimmy Kimmel mocking Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin’s blue-collar backgroundFirst, they react with disbelief as former National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent claims the FBI blocked his investigation into Charlie Kirk’s assassination and now says he is willing to testify in defense of the accused killer. Jim and Greg weigh in on the unhinged, conspiracy-minded podcast hosts and what this tells us about Kent in particular.Next, they fume over the murder of a college student near Loyola University in Chicago, allegedly at the hands of an illegal immigrant. A Chicago alderman quickly suggested on social media that the victim may unintentionally be to blame or her own killing. Jim calls out the left's huge double standard on illegals.Then, they also call out Jimmy Kimmel for ridiculing Sec. Mullin’s roots as a plumber. In the chaser of the week, Jim and Greg highlight Virginia Rep.
