Summary
First, they try to nail down the truth about why the FAA ordered a 10-day pause in air traffic around El Paso late Tuesday night. Was it a threatening Mexican drone, a party balloon mistaken for a drone, or testing of anti-drone laser technology? And there are also conflicting explanations about which part of government is responsible.
Next, they’re pleased to see the Trump administration playing hardball with Cuba by cutting off oil supplies to the Communist regime. The economic impact is real and immediate, but what is the long-term U.S. plan there?
Finally, they shake their heads as Michigan Rep. Hillary Scholten and other Democrats baselessly claim that requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote would block married women who changed their names from voting. Jim and Greg explain how this is just the latest lie Democrats are using to oppose secure elections.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the three martini lunch. |
| 0:05.0 | Grab a stool next to Greg Carumbus of Radio America and Jim Garrity of National Review. |
| 0:10.6 | Three martini's coming up. |
| 0:13.4 | Hey, so glad you're with us for the Thursday edition of the three martini lunch. |
| 0:17.3 | Glad you're with us. |
| 0:18.1 | Grab a stool and we're going to start right in where we talked about yesterday as it relates to this incident at the El Paso International Airport. |
| 0:26.1 | Jim has written about this in the morning jolt today now as well, but there's still |
| 0:29.2 | a lot of questions and a lot of confusion about this. What we do know is that the FAA ordered |
| 0:35.1 | a 10-day stand down in the airspace around El Paso, and if you |
| 0:39.2 | didn't obey that, you could be met with a deadly force. And then, just a few hours later, |
| 0:44.9 | oh, we're lifting that, never mind. And so Sean Duffy, the Transportation Secretary, |
| 0:50.1 | chalked it up to dealing with a cartel drone. Reports later in the day talked about a balloon. |
| 0:55.6 | Other reports talked about, hey, we're using lasers at Fort Bliss, which is right |
| 1:00.0 | near El Paso. |
| 1:01.7 | Here's ABC News trying to sort through what we know and don't know in the competing stories |
| 1:07.0 | here. |
| 1:07.2 | A source tells ABC News the FAA closed the airspace after learning that the Department |
| 1:11.8 | of Homeland Security actually used the laser weapon earlier this week to target a balloon |
| 1:17.0 | that was approaching or flying over Fort Bliss, which is close to El Paso's airport. The source says |
| 1:23.0 | it was not a weather or spy balloon, but it's not clear just how big it was. About six hours after issuing the closure, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, |
| 1:31.5 | reversing the order, posting that the FAA and Department of War acted swiftly to address |
| 1:36.6 | a cartel drone incursion. |
