Summary

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they enjoy watching social media accounts purporting to be Americans get exposed for being based overseas. They also respond to Rep. Eric Swalwell claiming that people vote by phone all over the country and shake their heads at still more insanity from Tennessee Dem Aftyn Behn.

First, they applaud Elon Musk for the new feature revealing where X accounts are based. It's exposed some prominent MAGA accounts with no personal names to be based in foreign countries. Also, people claiming to be reporters based in Gaza were discovered to be in several different countries. Jim and Greg offer some helpful tips to avoid getting lured in by these sorts of accounts.

Next, they slam Rep. Swalwell, who is now running for Governor of California. In an interview on CNN, Swalwell said he wants Californians to be able to vote through their phones because it's already happening in many places across the country. No, it's not. Jim and Greg also do a quick review of the Democrats in the governor's race and warn Californians that whomever emerges from the primary will be bad news for the state.

Finally, they serve another martini on Aftyn Behn, the Democrat running in a special congressional election in Tennessee next week. In addition to comments that she hates Nashville (which is in the congressional district) and country music, she would not walk back anti-police comments from 2020. Now, there is audio of Behn saying she doesn't want children, she wants power, while explaining why she believes women should not have children. Oh, and there's yet another example of her screaming while protesting and being dragged away.

0:00.0	Welcome to the three martini lunch.
0:04.8	Grab a stool next to Greg Carumbus of Radio America and Jim Garrity of National Review.
0:10.5	Three martini's coming up.
0:13.0	Hey, so glad you're with us for the Tuesday edition of the Three Martini Lunch.
0:17.6	Don't forget to follow and subscribe on all the major podcast platforms. We're on
0:21.3	YouTube now. Make sure you subscribe and follow there. And Jim, today is technically good, bad,
0:28.6	crazy. It's also all crazy in a number of ways. And for a person we never heard of a week ago,
0:35.9	Afton Bain is about to complete the hat trick. And things just get more insane as time goes on. So I don't know what we're going to get from her by the time next Tuesday rolls around, but I'm a little bit afraid to think how much it could even escalate after what we know so far. Listeners, you should know Greg and I have a fairly high standard to talk about the same figure two days in a row, unless it's the president or somebody who's in the news all the time.
1:00.8	Afton Bain, a candidate and a special election for Congress down in Tennessee, ordinarily would not be important enough to talk about three days in a row.
1:08.5	But man, you know, we'll talk more about her in a few moments But man, you know, we'll talk, we'll talk more
1:11.6	about her in a few moments. But, you know, this may well become the Afton-Bain Memorial Crazy Martini
1:17.3	by the end of the year. Strong contender for the end of the year awards right now.
1:21.2	Putting in a, you know, just just a late-season surge on her part.
1:25.4	Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Just a photo finish here with a lot of other
1:29.8	crazy stuff for the year. But let's start with our first martini. We're calling it a good,
1:35.2	but also a decent amount of crazy. And let's head over to the town hall version of the story,
1:39.3	but there was a lot of this over the weekend. Man, a lot of stuff happened over the weekend,
1:42.7	which isn't usually the case. But Elon Musk decided that on X, that they were going to try this new feature that
1:49.6	revealed the country of origin for every user account. And from what I understand, this has been
1:56.2	suspended, but I could be wrong about that. And the reason it's been suspended is everybody's freaking out because the accounts that they, you know,
2:04.1	purport to be in the Middle East or they purport to be in the United States turns out not
2:08.6	to be true.
