Summary
First, they discuss the serious and sad revelation that former President Biden is battling prostate cancer that has metastasized to his bones. But this news also shines the spotlight even brighter on what Biden and his staff knew while he was president and whether they covered up this health crisis as well as his cognitive decline. And can we believe anything they tell us?
Next, Scot and Greg examine the newly released audio from Biden’s October 2023 interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur. The tapes directly contradict Democrats’ spin and support Hur’s conclusion that Biden was mentally diminished. Scot also stresses that the recent revelations in books and interviews are just a drop in the bucket and there are still many serious questions that linger. But the Biden team and the media have little incentive to answer them.
Finally, they spotlight alarming data out of Chicago, where 25 percent of public school students missed at least 35 days of school last year. That's double the pre-pandemic absentee rate. But somehow graduation numbers continue to rise. Local school officials blame parents for no longer prioritizing in-person school attendance, but Scot and Greg know exactly who is responsible for creating that mindset.

| 0:04.9 | Grab a stool next to Greg Corumbus of Radio America and Jim Garrity of National Review. |
| 0:10.5 | Three martini's coming up. |
| 0:13.0 | Very glad you're with us for the Monday edition of the three martini lunch. |
| 0:16.6 | Jim Garrity is not here today. |
| 0:18.4 | We hope he's back tomorrow or later this week. |
| 0:20.6 | If you haven't read the morning jolt yet, read all the way to the end, |
| 0:23.8 | and you'll understand why Jim is not here today. |
| 0:26.3 | Jim is fine, his family is fine, but a tree fell on his house over the weekend. |
| 0:30.2 | I'm sure whenever he does return, which is hopefully it's tomorrow. |
| 0:32.8 | He will provide plenty more details on that. |
| 0:35.7 | But that's where Jim is today, negotiating with the tree removal crew. |
| 0:40.5 | But here in his place, Scott Bertram, General Manager, WRFH, Radio Free Hillsdale, 101.7 FM on the campus |

| 0:53.3 | as well as wasn't that special 50 years of Saturday Night Live and many other podcasts. Scott, always good to have you with us. |
| 1:00.0 | Greg, good to be here. I think questions have to be asked, though, about the tree. Had the tree been there for years and no one knew about it, had the tree been there for a while and was hidden and covered up. There are so many questions |
| 1:10.8 | about this tree we need to find out. Very good foreshadowing, Scott. So yeah, we're obviously |
| 1:16.8 | going to be talking about Joe Biden. Scott and I had already been planning to talk about the |
| 1:20.5 | her tapes, which got dropped late last week. I'm not really sure why the timing of that was, although |
| 1:26.5 | we may have gotten a clue with yesterday's |
| 1:28.3 | announcement, of course, about the former president's cancer diagnosis. So we are going to be talking |
