Summary

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday edition of the 3 Martini Lunch where they bemoan the lack of 'serious people' in prominent positions. Those people include Terri Moran whose savage X post cost him his job at ABC, DNI director Tulsi Gabbard, who seems tired of being in the background, and Tennessee Rep. Mark Green who has the audacity to resign his position for an alleged business venture in Guyana.

First, they laugh over Terry Moran's vitriolic X post, claiming Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller and President Trump to be 'world class haters' and find nourishment by "eating their hate." Quite possibly the result of an evening of booze, this post could have been explained away with a simple apology, but Moran refuses to recant. Jim wonders if ABC is grateful for a reason to oust a boring reporter that costs them half a million dollars a year.

Next, they dissect Tulsi Gabbard’s dramatic YouTube warning about nuclear war. Gabbard insists we’re closer than ever to nuclear annihilation, apparently forgetting the Cold War and Cuban Missile Crisis. Jim is skeptical, especially considering the recent war in Ukraine and Russia where nuclear weapons have not yet been used. He also says that Gabbard has a direct link to speak with the president about such concerns, so speaking out publicly suggests she is bored of working behind the scenes.

Last, they are aghast at the resignation of Tennessee Rep. Mark Green for the sake of a private sector opportunity. Greg is enraged by any public official who would leave office for any reason other than health and family reasons or scandal. Green leaving for an elusive business venture in Guyana of all places has both Jim and Greg immensely irritated.

0:24.0	Jim, we've got three kind of wild stories today. We've got a resigning Republican member of Congress, which, as you well know, really frustrates me anytime they do it for non-emergency reasons. But this reason seems especially slimy. We're also going to be looking at a video that Tulsi Gabbard made that has really alarming
0:44.0	content, but not really many specifics.

1:07.8	I did not.

1:14.0	patriarch looking at his offspring and concluding and just saying, you are not serious people.
1:22.5	And that was why he didn't want to hand off the reins to any of them.
1:25.8	And I just look at three different areas of our governing class and our media today.
1:31.3	And I'm just like, you are not serious people and you should not, you cannot be taken seriously.
1:36.3	And you probably don't belong in the positions you're in.
1:38.3	And one of them isn't.
1:39.3	Two of them won't be soon very soon.
