Summary
First, they react to the Justice Department indicting David Morens, a longtime associate of Dr. Fauci at the National Institutes of Health, for allegedly destroying government records tied to the COVID-19 outbreak to evade Freedom of Information Act requests. Jim and Greg explain how this looks like an open and shut case and why NIH officials did not want to comply.
Next, they dig into new Texas polling showing Democrat James Talarico with slim leads over both Sen. John Cornyn and Attorney General Ken Paxton ahead of their late-May Republican runoff. Jim explains why he believes Cornyn is far likelier than Paxton to defeat Talarico and why this race could divert GOP funds from other tough races.
Then they slam Chicago Public Schools for encouraging students to skip class and attend far-left May Day rallies, even offering busing. Jim and Greg discuss the deterioration of Chicago schools and how far left Democrats are moving now.
Finally, Marxist Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson gives a flippant response over the possibility of wealthy people in Washington state leaving over the coming 9.9 percent millionaire's tax. Jim and Greg explain why she won't be laughing if a lot of those people actually leave.

| 0:05.0 | Grab a stool next to Greg Corumbus of Radio America and Jim Garrity of National Review. |
| 0:10.7 | Three martini's coming up. |
| 0:13.1 | Hey, so glad you're with us for the Friday edition of the Three Martini Lunch. |
| 0:16.7 | We've made it to the end of another week. |
| 0:18.7 | And, Jim, we got plenty to get to you today. |
| 0:20.3 | I thought yesterday was a busy day. |
| 0:21.8 | Today is as well. |
| 0:23.4 | A couple days ago, we talked about the Jim Comey indictment and how we didn't think those |
| 0:28.3 | charges would probably stick in the end. |
| 0:31.0 | There was another indictment this week, though, that we're going to start with today |
| 0:34.4 | that I think is also significant and probably carries a lot more |
| 0:38.8 | weight and is more likely to go somewhere. Justice Department announcing actually on Tuesday that |
| 0:44.6 | former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases employee David Morins, who was a senior |
| 0:51.1 | advisor, basically to Anthony Fauci from 2006 to 2022, is facing indictment |

| 1:02.2 | research grants. He is charged with conspiracy against the United States, destruction, alteration, |
| 1:08.9 | or falsification of records in federal investigations, concealment, removal, or falsification of records in federal investigations, |
| 1:12.1 | concealment, removal, or mutilation of records, and aiding and abetting. |
| 1:16.2 | Basically, this all relates to the origins of COVID, something that you've looked at quite a bit. |
| 1:21.4 | And back in the time that this was being discussed, there was certainly an effort by Fauci |
| 1:27.3 | and others to make us think that it was all natural, wet market, that sort of thing, not the fact that the Wuhan Institute of Virology was just down the road. |
