Summary

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down Senate Democrats rejecting an overly generous Republican offer to fund the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Joe Kent’s offering to testify for the defense in the Charlie Kirk murder case, and escalating chaos in California’s Democratic gubernatorial race.

First, they highlight Senate Republicans making the absurd concession of agreeing not to fund ICE’s deportation office in exchange for funding the rest of DHS. Even so, Senate Democrats are refusing the deal. Jim explains what this rejection reveals about the Dems' disturbing mindset.

Next, they react with disbelief as former National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent claims the FBI blocked his investigation into Charlie Kirk’s assassination and now says he is willing to testify in defense of the accused killer. Jim and Greg weigh in on the unhinged, conspiracy-minded podcast hosts and what this tells us about Kent in particular.

Finally, they have some fun with the dysfunction in California’s governor race after a planned debate was canceled due to controversy over which Democratic candidates were invited. Plus, the ones invited were all white and none of the ones left out were white. Jim and Greg sift through the incredibly pathetic field on the left and how they're playing identity politics against one another.
