Summary

Presidential historian and Ronald Reagan Institute Senior Fellow Tevi Troy is in for Jim today. Join Tevi and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down President Trump’s plan to end the war in Gaza, Joy Reid actually getting something right, and Chuck Schumer accusing the New York Times of bias.

First, they examine Trump’s 21-point plan to resolve the Gaza war by removing Hamas and the threat of terrorism, securing the release of Israeli hostages, and launching a strategy to rebuild Gaza. Tevi explains why he supports the proposal and hopes it moves forward. They also analyze America’s security commitments to Qatar, why it's happening, and whether it's a good idea.

Next, they are stunned as former MSNBC host Joy Reid actually gets something right but in a hilarious way. Reid warns that Republicans want to eliminate income tax, roll back business regulations, and allow families to pass along 100 percent of their inheritance. Well, of course. Tevi reveals why Reid thinks those are dangerous objectives and Greg wonders what other obvious policy positions Joy Reid plans to reveal.

Finally, they review the new partial government shutdown and laugh at Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer calling the New York Times biased for publishing a poll showing Americans strongly oppose Democrats forcing a shutdown. They also weigh Schumer’s political future and note that any potential New York Democrat successor would likely be even more radical.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was at the White House with President Trump,
