Welcome to the three martini lunch. Grab a stole next to Greg Corumbus of Radio America and Jim Garrity of National Review.

Three martini's coming up. So glad you're with us for the Thursday edition of the three martini lunch. A lot to talk about today. We're going to talk a lot about this horrific double murder

in the nation's capital last night. We'll get into a lot of the details about that. We'll talk about

kind of a fun thing that happened to the North Koreans. And if it's fun for us, it's not very fun for

them. And we'll also talk about the latest spin job from the Democrats as it relates to all the revelations about Joe Biden.

But Jim, before we get into all of that, a real quick update.

The big, beautiful bill that we talked about on Wednesday passed after a fight in the rules committee and then a debate on the floor went all night. Final vote,

what is I think, around 730 or something this morning. 215 to 214, it passed. There was a manager's

amendment, meaning the speaker changed the bill in order to speed up when work requirements

for Medicaid recipients, these able-bodied adults,

who are now eligible thanks to Obamacare and the states have decided to expand.

That kicks in down 2026 as opposed to 29.

They did, however, codify the lifting of the salt deduction cap from 10,000 to 40,000.

So the blue state Republicans getting a big win there. We'll see what

happens in the Senate. Obviously, some folks there will probably want to make some changes,

which means we get to do this all again pretty soon. Yeah, you know, by the way, if I had a dime

for every time, I heard something that went through the House that conservatives didn't really

like and was like, oh, don't worry, the Senate will fix it.

I probably could pay off the debt.

I'm not expecting the U.S. Senate to come riding to the rescue and take out the stuff in the bill we don't like.

In fact, I don't really think you're going to see huge changes

to this bill going forward.
