Welcome to the Three Martini lunch. Grab a stole next to Greg Carumbus of Radio America and Jim

Garrity of National Review. Three Martini's coming up.

So glad you're with us for the Tuesday edition of the Three Martini lunch.

Grab your stool. I'm pretty sure we don't have any good Martini's again today.

You can certainly claim these are three crazies. I think the first

one's bad. I'll leave the other two as definitely crazy. Jim, we do want to

start today and again we're not the deepest Angophiles on the planet and certainly not

monarchists but it is the birthday of Queen Elizabeth the second she's 94 been on the

throne since 1952 her first Prime Minister was Winston Churchill. So let that sink in.

You know, everybody's making sacrifices at this moment in time because the social distancing, the not wanting to put anybody at risk with the

coronavirus and so forth. So the Queen has graciously canceled the gun salute for her birthday, Jim. So I know it's everybody's making

sacrifices these days and it's good to see the Queen's doing the same.

You know, Greg, even more gr graciously she has said that the gun salute

should not be aimed at Megan Markle. She did ask a celebrity guest to give

some coronavirus quarantine greetings to Markle.

My understanding is that the Queen asked for former baseball great Reggie Jackson to stop

by.

It's an odd choice, but I guess those who have studied 1980s

cinema they recognize the significance of that. Was the now deceased actor

Ricardo Montelbon anyway involved with? Or perhaps yes, you yes. Oh man well the good news is for the Queen first of all

Jim apparently there's two birthdays for the monarch in England for some reason

there's the real date and then there there's the official day of celebration.
