Summary

Former Chief Assistant U.S. Attorney and National Review Contributing Editor Andy McCarthy is in for Jim. Join Andy and Greg as they discuss Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley sounding the alarm as both parties seem ready to pass a bill that would subject women to military drafts, the increasingly worrisome alliance between Russia and North Korea, and Press Sec. Karine Jean-Pierre's almighty struggle to explain away President Biden's gaffes.

First, they delve into Sen. Hawley excoriating a bipartisan bill that has passed the House of Representatives that would require women to register for Selective Service. They agree with Hawley's criticism of the bill and that our daughters should not be forced into combat. However, Andy unloads on Hawley for suggesting Republicans are backing the idea so they have enough people to fight "endless wars."

Next, they explore the implications of the recent pledge between Russia and North Korea to defend one another if either is attacked. Andy thinks that pledges between such unreliable actors are flimsy at best, but that does not negate the potential evils that may come of this agreement.

Finally, they roll their eyes at White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre's lackluster excuses for former President Obama having to guide President Biden offstage at a campaign event. Andy observes that events like these can be given the benefit of the doubt if they are one-time occurrences, but Biden's gaffes happen too often to be written off.

As a bonus, Andy weighs in on his expectations for upcoming Supreme Court decisions.

0:11.6	Glad to have you with us for the Wednesday edition. Three Martini's coming up.
0:16.0	Glad to have you with us for the Wednesday edition of the Three Martini lunch. Jim Garrity is still off somewhere cruising in Alaska.

0:25.0	National Review, Online Columnist and Contributing Editor Fox News Contributor.
0:31.0	And you certainly saw him with the Trump trial, Hunter Biden trial, and a whole
0:34.6	smattering of Supreme Court cases coming up in the next week and a half that we'll
0:37.7	talk about a little bit today and Andy always good to have you back.
0:40.3	Greg, great to be here. It's it's Day, but it doesn't feel like Hump Day because I just think we're going to get inundated, I think, with the Supreme Court stuff. I was wrong about this last week, so take this with whatever grain of salt it deserves but I thought last
0:55.3	week we'd be getting some of the big cases and we really didn't given what we're
0:59.7	waiting on but I think tomorrow and Friday are going to be big days.
1:04.0	Well, June and the Supreme Court is like watching the final round at the US Open.
1:07.5	You're running out of holes and you're running out of days, so they got to come eventually here in the next week and a half. And so, here we go. I hope I don't end up like that poor guy who
1:17.1	couldn't hit the 18 inch put at the end of the
1:20.8	poor Rory. Speaking of tortured, our good martini is a tortured good martini.
1:24.6	It's good that it's being called out by Senator Josh Holly of Missouri.
1:30.2	And Andy, this has been a frustrating topic for me for a long time, not just because I'm the dad of girls, but just because it makes no sense.
1:38.0	And for a long time, it seemed like the left wanted to do this because of their whole feminism push. But then there was the
1:44.4	2016 debate. It was in the primaries in the issue of women being required to sign up for selective service and if the
1:51.1	draft were ever to be reinstated, eligible for the draft and I was shocked
