John Fetterman Wins Over Pennsylvania Republicans as Democrats Turn on Him

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they weigh in on President Trump renaming Lake Ontario as the trade spat with Canada intensifies, Los Angeles mayoral candidate Nithya Raman's pathetic example of an accomplishment, why CIA Director John Ratcliffe secretly went to Moscow, and Politico badly mischaracterizing Jim's reporting.First, they shake their heads as President Trump orders Lake Ontario to be called Lake America in response to the U.S.-Canada trade relationship getting worse. Jim and Greg contend the renaming of  the lake doesn't accomplish anything, and Jim notes that our current trade policies only make life tougher for GOP candidates in the midterms.Next, they get a kick out of socialist Los Angeles councilwoman and mayoral candidate Nithya Raman bragging about how her office successfully painted a new crosswalk across a badly cracked street just nine months after her constituents asked her to do it. Then, they react to new reporting from the Wall Street Journal that CIA Director John Ratcliffe recently went to Moscow in a secretive way to demand Russia refrain from attacking NATO members and reiterating that NATO members will defend their partners. Jim applauds Trump and Ratcliffe for sending that message but wants to know what intelligence prompted the trip and that message.Finally, Jim vents after Politico blatantly distorts his reporting on a possible AOC presidential bid and makes other amateurish errors.Please visit our great sponsors:QuoMoney is on the line.

Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch as they watch Democrats begging people to stop linking them with Hasan Piker, Virginia Attorney General Jay Jones going after local law enforcement for cooperating with ICE, a Republican suddenly leading in the New Hampshire Senate race, and the NFL putting the Pro Bowl out of its misery.First, they enjoy watching Democrats squirm as they keep trying to dodge questions about the role of anti-Semitic influencer Hasan Piker in Democratic Party politics. Michigan Rep. Debbie Dingell is demanding an end to the questions. Meanwhile, Hunter Biden wants to find "common ground" with Piker.Next, they denounce Virginia Attorney General Jay Jones (the guy who fantasized about killing a political opponent just a few years ago) for going after a sheriff in Greene County who cooperated with ICE through traffic checkpoints and other operations. Why do the Democrats consistently oppose enforcement of immigration laws.Then, they are encouraged to see a new poll showing Republican John Sununu with a small lead in the New Hampshire U.S. Senate race. Given all the states where Republicans have to defend competitive seats, finding an opportunity to flip a seat held by Democrats is a welcome surprise.Finally, they are relieved to see the NFL is finally ending the Pro Bowl. Jim and Greg explain how the quality of game plummeted in recent years. Jim also suggests a way to keep the competition alive without risking injury.Please visit our great sponsors:QuoMoney is on the line. Always say hello with QUO.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they weigh in on Pennsylvania Republican voters overwhelmingly approving Democratic Sen. John Fetterman while Dems can't stand him, Darline Graham winning the GOP U.S. Senate primary runoff in South Carolina, a lefty columnist in Maine pushing voters to write in Graham Platner in November, the death of Dolly Parton and great health news for our friend, Jon Gabriel.First, they react to poll numbers out of Pennsylvania showing GOP voters strongly of Sen. Fetterman while Democrats roundly rejecting him. Independents also see him favorably. So why is this happening and how will Fetterman approach his 2028 re-election with numbers like that?Next, they discuss Sen. Darline Graham winning the South Carolina primary runoff over Rep. Ralph Norman. They discuss Graham's lingering deficiencies as a candidate, Norman's frustration over Trump and other allies abandoning him for Graham, and how competitive this seat will be in November.Then, they enjoy a lefty columnist in Maine urging Democrats to write in Graham Platner in November because Democrats defied the will of the people in forcing Platner off the ballot. Jim and Greg are dubious that many voters will do this, but they welcome any splintering of the Democrats' vote.Finally, they bid farewell to the irreplaceable Dolly Parton and discuss why she was beloved by so many. They also give a wonderful update on 3ML guest host Jon Gabriel.Please visit our great sponsors:QuoMoney is on the line. Always say hello with QUO.

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they examine President Trump’s “Economic D-Day” against Iran and companies doing business with the regime, Abdul El-Sayed comparing circumcision to transgender surgeries for children, Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen’s talk of a 2028 presidential campaign, and a razor-thin Republican U.S. Senate runoff in South Carolina.First, they discuss President Trump’s Operation Economic Outcast, designed to severely squeeze Iran and impose harsh consequences on countries and corporations doing business with the Iranian regime. Jim and Greg are optimistic the strategy could work, but only if the U.S. cracks down on every Iranian ally.Next, they shake their heads as Abdul El-Sayed defends transgender surgeries for children by comparing them to circumcision. They also examine El-Sayed’s attempt to distance himself from far-left influencer Hasan Piker.Then, they laugh as Sen. Van Hollen says he's "kicking the tires" on a 2028 presidential bid. Jim and Greg see lots of parallels between Van Hollen and some of the many Democrats who never gained any traction in 2020.Finally, they cite a rare poll of today's Republican U.S. Senate runoff in South Carolina showing the race between Rep. Ralph Norman and interim Sen. Darline Graham a dead heat. Please visit our great sponsors:QuoMoney is on the line. Always say hello with QUO.

She's been roundly criticized for a poor response to a shooting in thee city last month, and for telling rich people and businesses, "Bye," if they're considering leaving Washington over higher taxes. Next, they note that opposition to data centers might be the biggest issue with bipartisan consensus right now. Jim and Greg walk through the concerns, some of them very valid, and the long-term consequences of stopping or sigificantly slowing data center construction.Then, they shake their heads as Republican West Virginia Sen. Jim Justice is reportedly making plans to challenge incumbent GOP Gov. Patrick Morrisey in 2028. Justice has served less than two years in the Senate. Jim and Greg agree that serving in the Senate is not very fun these days but if you sign up for six years, you should know what the job involves.Finally, a third Dan Sullivan is involved in the fight for a U.S. Senate seat in Alaska. Oh, and the vote totals in Alaska also haven't changed since Wednesday. They're stuck at 80 percent of the vote in.Please visit our great sponsors:QuoMoney is on the line. Always say hello with QUO.

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 discuss a socialist state lawmaker shocking the Democrats by winning the Florida U.S. Senate primary, a company admitting it completely fabricated recent polling results, the U.S. national debt reaching $40 trillion, and a majority of Dems, independents, and Republicans favoring price controls.First, they discuss the stunning victory of socialist Angie Nixon in the Florida Democratic U.S. Senate primary over the heavily-favored establishment pick, Alexander Vindman. Jim and Greg also discuss how this result may impact the governor's race, and they round up a number of encouraging results in GOP congressional primaries.Next, they dig into "Median Strategies" announcing it is done polling, fabricated all of their results, and the whole operation was a social experiment to see how much fake polling could get reported without anyone bothering to verify the results were legitimate.Then, they wince as the U.S. national debt surges past $40 trillion. They fume at both parties for refusing to deal with this problem long before it got this bad. They also blast Democrats and some Republicans who blocked the effort more than 20 years ago to allow Americans to invest some of the money they pay in Social Security taxes. The payoff now would have been huge.Finally, they groan as a new poll shows a majority of Democrats, independents, and even Republicans all favor price controls. Charlie argues that many politicians are flat out lying about our current economic conditions and are convincing too many people of the wrong remedy.Please visit our great sponsors:Brooklyn Beddinghttps://BrooklynBedding.comGet 30% off sitewide Brooklyn Bedding with promo code 3ML. BetterHelphttps://betterhelp.com/3ML See the reviews, see what stands out, and see if BetterHelp is right for you. Noble Goldhttps://NobleGoldInvestments.com/3MLIf you want to see how physical gold and silver could fit into your portfolio, download Noble Gold Investments FREE Wealth Protection Kit.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 Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they consider Mike Rogers finding plenty of Democrats to endorse him publicly in the Michigan Senate race, Florida Democrat/Socialist Senate nominee Angie Nixon saying Republicans are trying to kill black people, the U.S. Navy reportedly considering removing the name of a World War II hero from a forthcoming aircraft carrier and possibly renaming it for President Trump, and California finally counting a lot more votes in a special congressional election.First, they applaud Michigan GOP Senate nominee Mike Rogers for aggressively reaching out to Democrats who feel uneasy about the far-left agenda Abdul El-Sayed would bring to the U.S. Senate. Next, they reveal a whole lot more about Florida Democratic U.S. Senate nominee Angie Nixon. In multiple interviews that have emerged since her surprising win on Tuesday, Nixon claims Republicans want to kill black people. She also contends Congress has plenty of money for government-run health care.Then, they discuss the U.S. Navy reportedly considering whether to remove Pearl Harbor hero Doris Miller's name from a future aircraft carrier. The same reports also say some in the Navy want to rename it after President Trump. Jim contends no sitting president should have a carrier named for him and removing Miller's name would be seen as an insult.Finally, they give a golf clap to California election officials for managing to count enough votes to determine a winner in a California congressional election within 48 hours.Please visit our great sponsors:Brooklyn Beddinghttps://BrooklynBedding.comGet 30% off sitewide Brooklyn Bedding with promo code 3ML. BetterHelphttps://betterhelp.com/3ML See the reviews, see what stands out, and see if BetterHelp is right for you. Noble Goldhttps://NobleGoldInvestments.com/3MLIf you want to see how physical gold and silver could fit into your portfolio, download Noble Gold Investments FREE Wealth Protection Kit.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 Thursday 3 Martini Lunch as they dig into the U.S. national debt reaching $40 trillion, Los Angeles taxpayers involuntarily bankrolling local elections, Mike Lindell demanding an audit of an election he lost by 45,000 votes, and California's vote counting is once again a national embarrassment.First, they wince as the U.S. national debt surges past $40 trillion. They fume at both parties for refusing to deal with this problem long before it got this bad. They also blast Democrats and some Republicans who blocked the effort more than 20 years ago to allow Americans to invest some of the money they pay in Social Security taxes. The payoff now would have been huge.Next, they shake their heads as Los Angeles will give five dollars of taxpayer money to local candidates for every dollar actually donated to them. It's yet another symptom of a truly rotten political system, which now has two dreadful candidates facing off in the mayoral election in November.Then, they get into Mike Lindell's latest allegations of suspicious election results. This time he's challenging his loss in last week's Minneota GOP primary for governor, which he lost by 45,000 votes. Finally, they look at California's latest vote counting disgrace. The vote totals in a special congressional election have not budged in more than 24 hours. How are California Democrats not humiliated by this ridiculous system?Please visit our great sponsors:Brooklyn Beddinghttps://BrooklynBedding.comGet 30% off sitewide Brooklyn Bedding with promo code 3ML. BetterHelphttps://betterhelp.com/3ML See the reviews, see what stands out, and see if BetterHelp is right for you. Noble Goldhttps://NobleGoldInvestments.com/3MLIf you want to see how physical gold and silver could fit into your portfolio, download Noble Gold Investments FREE Wealth Protection Kit.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 Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they react to a socialist state lawmaker shocking the Democrats by winning the Florida U.S. Senate primary, South Carolina Sen. Darline Graham admitting she is not well-versed at all on national security, a company admitted it completely fabricated recent polling results, and two Dan Sullivans appearing likely to make the November ballot for U.S. Senate in Alaska.First, they discuss the stunning victory of socialist Angie Nixon in the Florida Democratic U.S. Senate primary over the heavily-favored establishment pick, Alexander Vindman. Jim and Greg also discuss how this result may impact the governor's race, and they round up a number of encouraging results in GOP congressional primaries.Next, they head to the South Carolina GOP U.S. Senate debate as Sen. Darline Graham whiffs on a question about Taiwan and admits, "National security is not my thing." Jim explains why this answer ought to be considered disqualifying, especially considering the challenges we face from China.Then, they dig into "Median Strategies" announcing it is done polling, fabricated all of their results, and the whole operation was a social experiment to see how much fake polling could get reported without anyone bothering to verify the results were legitimate.Finally, they groan over Alaska's ridiculous system, where four candidates advance from Tuesday's primary to the general election. This year the four U.S. Senate candidates will include two named Dan Sullivan, one of whom is accused of running just to sow confusion for the current Sen. Sullivan. The eventual winner will be decided through the execrable ranked choice voting system. Please visit our great sponsors:Brooklyn Beddinghttps://BrooklynBedding.comGet 30% off sitewide Brooklyn Bedding with promo code 3ML. BetterHelphttps://betterhelp.com/3ML See the reviews, see what stands out, and see if BetterHelp is right for you. Noble Goldhttps://NobleGoldInvestments.com/3MLIf you want to see how physical gold and silver could fit into your portfolio, download Noble Gold Investments FREE Wealth Protection Kit.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

National Review Senior Editor Charles C.W. Cooke, who hosts the Charles C.W. Cooke Podcast, fills in for Jim on the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch. Join Charlie and Greg as they discuss Abdul El-Sayed's latest radical economic idea, James Talarico claiming school choice and the SAVE America Act are designed as tools of oppression against black people, actor Jeff Daniels missing the point of his new movie about Reagan, & a Democrat rejects an endorsement from Kamala Harris.First, they shudder as El-Sayed says he would be more aggressive than Bernie Sanders in government taking over private companies. Charlie explains why this is basically totalitarianism. And they fume over how the left has twisted the definition of "democracy" beyond recognition.Next, they shake their heads as Democratic Texas U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico says Voter ID is designed to suppress the black vote and that school choice is a "tool of segregation." Charlie says 80 percent of black voters supporting Voter ID undercuts Talarico's pathetic narrative. And Greg sees a pattern in how Talarico and other Democrats approach these issues.Then, they react to Jeff Daniels suggesting the takeway from his new movie about the 1986 Reagan-Gorbachev summit in Iceland  is that John Lennon's Imagine might really come true. Charlie explains the real reason the U.S. won the Cold War, why Daniels is missing the main point of the story, and why Reagan and Imagine have virtually nothing in common.Finally, they get a good laugh as Democrat Alaska U.S. Senate candidate Mary Peltola publicly rejects an endorsement from former Vice President Kamala Harris. But other accounts suggests Peltola asked for the endorsement.Please visit our great sponsors:Brooklyn Beddinghttps://BrooklynBedding.comGet 30% off sitewide Brooklyn Bedding with promo code 3ML. BetterHelphttps://betterhelp.com/3ML See the reviews, see what stands out, and see if BetterHelp is right for you. Noble Goldhttps://NobleGoldInvestments.com/3MLIf you want to see how physical gold and silver could fit into your portfolio, download Noble Gold Investments FREE Wealth Protection Kit.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
