Summary
First, they respond to Sen. Fetterman’s explanation that U.S. intelligence on the Venezuelan drug boats is clear and comprehensive, with American officials knowing exactly who and what is on board. Jim argues that President Trump’s national security team should declassify as much of this information as possible so the public can hear the facts directly.
Next, they groan as four House Republicans sign a discharge petition forcing a vote on the Democrats’ Obamacare subsidy extension bill. If it passes, pressure will immediately shift to Senate Republicans to follow suit. Jim questions what the point of the shutdown fight was if this is the inevitable outcome, while Greg asks why Republicans in competitive districts can’t offer a stronger alternative instead of aligning with Democrats.
Finally, they react to the latest, deeply unreassuring statements from officials overseeing the Brown University shooting investigation. Authorities refuse to say what students told them the shooter said before opening fire and are openly scolding reporters for asking questions they don't like.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the three martini lunch. |
| 0:04.9 | Grab a stool next to Greg Corumbus of Radio America and Jim Garrity of National Review. |
| 0:10.6 | Three martini's coming up. |
| 0:12.9 | So glad you're with us for the Wednesday edition of the three martini lunch. |
| 0:16.6 | Grab a stool. |
| 0:17.4 | So much to get to today. |
| 0:18.6 | We'll be back on the campus figuratively of Brown University |
| 0:21.5 | as the officials up there continue to not distinguish themselves as they explain what's going on |
| 0:27.5 | in this case. Again, not building a lot of confidence. And it seems increasingly that there are |
| 0:34.2 | certain things they just don't want to get into, which is never good in a murder investigation or a terrorism investigation, whatever may be a foot here. |
| 0:41.3 | We'll also be talking about House Republicans, at least four of them, going along with Democrats now, wanting to do what the Democrats want to do with those emergency COVID-Obomacare subsidies. |
| 0:51.9 | They want the clean extension. |
| 0:53.6 | We'll talk about that. And we'll talk |
| 0:55.7 | about John Federman, once again, blowing up democratic narratives. Kind of like the U.S. blows up |
| 1:01.0 | Venezuelan drug votes. But we'll get into all of that in just a second. And meanwhile, |
| 1:05.4 | another thing we want to run well is your business. And running a business on a clunky old phone |
| 1:09.7 | system is kind of like |
| 1:11.0 | competing with one hand tied behind your back. That's never fun. And every time you miss a call, |
| 1:16.0 | that's money left on the table. And more importantly, money your competitors might get instead |
| 1:20.4 | of you. But quo, spelled QUO, is the modern alternative, built to help you work smarter, build |
| 1:26.9 | stronger relationships, |
| 1:28.2 | and never miss an opportunity, because that's what your business and your customers deserve. |
