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 discuss how the Democrats' huge midterm election victories will shape the next Congress and - yes - the 2028 presidential campaign, Tucker Carlson suggesting the U.S. and Israel will soon nuke Iran, the left building momentum for making the Death Tax much worse, and a dead dog getting his voting rights restored in Virginia.

First, Jim and Greg look ahead to what the next two years will look like with President...

A long week comes to an end, and Craig Coglianese and Jim Geraghty conclude that it is probably for the best that incoming Tennessee governor Marsha Blackburn is not considering Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth to be the appointed U.S. senator from her state.

Meanwhile, President Trump says that when the stock market crashes, the American people have only themselves to blame, and the White House tells conservative groups that it is watching them.

Finally, Tesla Cybertruck, we barely knew ye.

Craig Coglianese is in for Greg Corombos, and Craig and Jim sigh relief that Supreme Court justice Samuel Alito isn't going anywhere, and Senate Republicans won't have to rush through a confirmation hearing in the lame duck session.

Vice President JD Vance blames the war against Iran for the GOP wipeout in the midterms, which feels like only half the story. Meanwhile, Mississippi is still counting the votes in a very tight Senate race, and Craig has a new sharp option for home defense.

Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they talk about Barack Obama downplaying Abdul El-Sayed's radical affiliations as him just wanting everyone to have health care. El-Sayed's Democratic primary rival sounding less than enthused about him in the general election, lefties calling for the government to nationalize Elon Musk's companies, and the new jingle trying to explain Alaska's insane ranked choice voting system.

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss new data showing red states doing far better than blue states in job creation, Hillary Clinton wanting to pack the Supreme Court with one revealing condition, Democrats' disgusting meddling in two Senate races, and the stupidity of overseas NFL games.

First, they're glad to see new numbers from the Bureau of Labor Statistics showing red states with the best job growth compared to just before the Covid lockdowns. Most of the worst-performing states are blue states. Jim and Greg explain why this is consistently the case.<...

Join Greg and former Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch, as they dissect Michigan Sen. Elissa Slotkin's comments about deterring future Trump administration staffers, Virginia's truly radical constitutional amendment proposals, midterm election integrity concerns, and why the 2025 election results in Virginia should be a warning to the rest of the U.S. heading into the midterms.

Join Jim and Greg for this special edition of Last Call, as they remember the greatness of the 1980's. Weeks ago, while promoting a movie, actor Ryan Reynolds called the '80's "brutal" and a "mess" with "division everywhere." That's not how Jim and Greg remember it, so they recall the politics of the 1980's, what they miss from that era, and what they definitely don't miss.

First, they focus on the politics of the decade, which means the Reagan presidency. They examine Reagan's electoral triumphs, his good nature, and his greatness in winning the Cold...

Craig Coglianese’s week of guest hosting for Greg Corombos comes to an end with an intriguing report that Supreme Court justice Samuel Alito may be retiring soon, before the Democrats can assume the majority in the U.S. Senate. Craig and Jim Geraghty also note that Vice President JD Vance is getting awkward questions about former ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle, and scratch their heads at the new White House press secretary’s husband previously doing work in North Korea. Craig concludes by revealing he now hears James Talarico and Ken Paxton attack ads in his dreams.

Elsewhere, they raise their eyebrows at the work of new White House press secretary Katie Zacharia for a law firm in Beijing with close ties to the Chinese Communist Party and the Chinese Justice Ministry. Finally, they close by as...

Craig Coglianese is in for Greg Corombos, and Craig and Jim Geraghty are surprised to hear Georgia Democratic senator Jon Ossoff say he has no intention of running for president in 2028. A report from the AP suggests that former vice president Kamala Harris is gearing up for a third bid, but her husband may not be such an enthusiastic supporter of the idea. Meanwhile, the news on inflation and the GOP chances of holding the U.S. House is downright bad. Finally, Shane Gillis has done the impossible: he’s got people talking about Saturday Night Live again.

Craig Coglianese is in for Greg Corombos, and Craig and Jim Geraghty find a left-of-center columnist worrying about the odds of Michigan Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed; but Republicans are spending more to back up Nebraska GOP senator Pete Ricketts.
