Summary
(00:04:22) NJ Congressman MIA
(00:08:24) The politics of gas prices
Craig Collins is in for Greg Corombus, and Craig and Jim start with the good news that a Virginia judge blocked the state from certifying the results of Tuesday's congressional map referendum, deeming the referendum and the bill that triggered it as unconstitutional. (Don’t get too excited, this is just the first step in a multi-step process.)
Then Craig and Jim wonder about the long absence and unspecified health issues of New Jersey Republican congressman Tom Kean Jr., and tell the administration that when it comes to gas prices, it’s better to underpromise and overdeliver than the other way around.
Finally, the two long-suffering fans of New York’s NFL teams contemplate the Giants' and Jets' prospects in tonight’s NFL draft.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the three martini lunch. |
| 0:06.4 | Grab a stool next to Greg Corumbus of Radio America and Jim Garrity of National Review. |
| 0:11.8 | Three martini's coming up. |
| 0:14.0 | That's right. |
| 0:14.7 | It is three martini lunch. |
| 0:16.0 | I am not Greg. |
| 0:16.9 | My name is Craig Collins. |
| 0:18.3 | I have weaseled my way onto a stool to hang out with you, Jim. |
| 0:21.8 | Thrilled to be here. Very excited about the NFL draft, although that's not the first topic we'll talk about. It'll be the last one. |
| 0:28.7 | But let's get right into it if you want to, man. Sure. Our good martini today is something Greg and I talked about yesterday. |
| 0:35.5 | And I should emphasize, this is a tentative one. |
| 0:39.8 | It's only one step and a multi-step process. |
| 0:42.1 | But a Virginia judge has blocked the state from certifying the results of Tuesday's |
| 0:47.7 | congressional map referendum. |
| 0:49.2 | This is the one that took it from the 5-4 to 10 Democrats to one Republican. |
| 0:54.7 | Totally fair. Totally fair. |
| 0:55.8 | Totally representative. |
| 0:58.0 | This Virginia judge deemed the referendum and the bill that triggered it unconstitutional. |
| 1:02.9 | Now, Virginia's current Attorney General, Jay Jones, confirmed that he will be appealing the decision. |
| 1:09.1 | And if he does not win the appeal, he intends to |
| 1:11.2 | murder the children of Republicans. Oh, I'm sorry, that's just his old text. But yeah, yeah, that's just a different thing. We should point out, this is going to end up before the Virginia Supreme Court. Nobody really knows what's going to happen there. The Virginia Supreme Court, like Gray and I said yesterday, he would make, it would have been preferable if this was unconstitutional, if they had said so before we went through the whole process of the referendum. |
| 1:34.2 | But that's the, this is the state in my delightfully fair and well-run home state here, Craig. |
