Summary
This week, Jim and Greg break down how the Charlotte train murderer may escape true justice, the eyebrow-raising parenting confessions from Jennifer Siebel Newsom, wife of California Gov. Gavin Newsom, and the jaw-dropping success of the U.S. military in rescuing two Americans shot down over Iran.
First, they vent after DeCarlos Brown, who stabbed Iryna Zarutska to death on train in Charlotte, is deemed incompetent to stand trial in a mental health evaluation. Jim and Greg explain how it's thoroughly implausible for this diagnosis to suddenly emerge now and how this would be a major miscarriage of justice if the court agrees.
Next, they dive into comments from California "First Partner" Jennifer Siebel Newsom, who revealed some extreme parenting tactics to fight the patriarchy. Jim and Greg reveal what they think of her advice and what impact this could have on Gavin Newsom's presidential ambitions.
Then, they marvel at the U.S. military’s unwavering commitment to leaving no man behind and highlight the remarkable coordination between armed forces and the intelligence community to extract the American flight crew before Iranian forces could capture them.
Finally, in this week's chaser, they can only laugh as MSNOW's Lawrence O'Donnell launches the most ridiculous attack possible in connection with the amazing rescue mission conducted in Iran last weekend.

| 0:05.1 | Grab a stole next to Greg Carumbus of Radio America and Jim Garrity of National Review. |
| 0:10.8 | Three martini's coming up. |
| 0:13.3 | Welcome to the last call of the week for the three martini lunch. |
| 0:16.5 | This is our weekly recap of the biggest stories of the week. |
| 0:20.0 | The conversations we highlight this week include a medical evaluation that the murderer of Arena Zarutka on that train in Charlotte last year is incompetent to stay in trial. |
| 0:29.8 | We'll also look at the disturbing and bizarre parenting advice offered by California first partner, Jennifer Newsom. |
| 0:37.3 | Then we'll remember the details of that amazing military rescue of the American airmen from Iran. |
| 0:43.9 | And in our chaser of the week, Lawrence O'Donnell of MS Now takes away the dumbest possible lesson from that amazing operation. |
| 0:52.1 | But we begin with the possibility of justice denied in Charlotte. |
| 0:56.8 | Let's start in North Carolina, Jim. |
| 0:59.2 | A lot of attention last year to the story of DeCarlos Brown Jr. |
| 1:04.6 | Murdering Arena Zarutka on the light rail in Charlotte, North Carolina. |
| 1:08.7 | This happened, I think it was in August of last year. |
| 1:12.5 | It took a couple of weeks for there to get much media attention because the mainstream media |
| 1:16.2 | wouldn't touch it. I remember that was one of the last things Charlie Kirk was tweeting about |
| 1:20.2 | before he was murdered. So it was right around that time of the year. And now, even more frustration |
| 1:25.0 | in this case. Hat tipped to Bill Malusian, who's officially a congressional correspondent now, but he's also |
| 1:31.0 | on a lot of different other stories, immigration in particular. |
| 1:34.3 | But this one as well, to Carlos Brown Jr., the felon charged with murdering Irina Zerutska |
| 1:39.4 | on the Charlotte, North Carolina light rail, has been found, quote, incapable to proceed, |
| 1:43.9 | unquote, with his trial following a mental health evaluation, according to a motion filed in court yesterday. |
