Summary

Join Jim and Greg for the latest 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss the FBI arresting a Wisconsin judge for helping an illegal alien evade ICE, Colorado Democrats moving to criminalize cooperation with ICE, and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker signaling a likely but probably futile 2028 presidential campaign.

First, they break down the shocking story of Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan, who allegedly allowed a criminal illegal alien defendant to escape her courtroom through the jury door to prevent Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from taking him into custody. Democrats and the media are trying to portray Dugan’s arrest as political retaliation for opposing former President Trump’s immigration policies. Jim and Greg explain why that narrative is completely false.

Next, they dive into Colorado’s efforts to punish government employees, school officials, and others who cooperate with ICE agents. Jim finds it amusing how the left, after years of demanding federal supremacy on immigration, now embraces state power when it suits their agenda. Greg points out that these first two martinis highlight an inescapable conclusion about many Democrats.

Finally, they preview the likely 2028 presidential campaign of Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker. Jim and Greg note the irony of the multi-billionaire governor trying to position himself as a populist while urging Democrats not to give Republicans a moment's peace. But they see many reasons why Pritzker's likely campaign will be a dud.

0:00.0	Welcome to the three martini lunch.
0:04.9	Grab a stool next to Greg Carumbus of Radio America and Jim Garrity of National Review.
0:10.5	Three martini's coming up.
0:13.1	So glad you're with us for the Monday edition of the three martini lunch.
0:17.4	We have good, bad, and crazy for you today.
0:20.1	A lot of immigration talk today, including
0:22.6	the firestorm over a Wisconsin judge and how blue states are working overtime to help protect
0:29.2	illegal immigrants, including criminal illegal immigrants, which is really should be in the crazy
0:34.3	category. But for that, we're going to leave it to an aspiring28 presidential candidate who, by all accounts, really should have no chance. Well, we also
0:42.1	hope you enjoyed our Friday special edition of President Trump's first 100 days in office,
0:46.1	the good, the bad, the crazy. If you haven't had a chance to hear that yet, we encourage you
0:50.1	to do that. One of the reasons we did a special edition is because I was out of town on Friday.
0:54.9	I had the honor of traveling to Michigan where the son of one of my very good college friends
1:00.4	had the chance to be drafted into the NFL. He was drafted into the NFL and for his very
1:05.8	favorite team. So Detroit Lions fans, I know you're going to be very happy with that wide receiver
1:09.9	you drafted in the third round named Isaac Teslaw. He is an incredible player, but he's an even better person.
1:15.7	So it'll be great for your locker room and your community. Also, looking at the Chicago Bears,
1:20.6	got a tight end in the first round, a Michigan man, Colston Loveland. I think it'll be a good fit in
1:24.7	the offense, not the tight end most people expected. And then for many of the other picks, they went in the trenches, which I still think is where they need to beef up.
1:32.6	And so overall, a very good draft weekend.
1:35.2	But just an incredible experience watching someone's hard work year after year after year after year pay off in this special way.
1:42.5	I'm envious, Greg.
