Summary
First, Jim and Greg break down the comments of Sen. Susan Collins and Democrat challenger Graham Platner after Platner accused Collins of voting to send him to die in Iraq. They applaud Collins for clearly correcting the record and welcome a Wall Street Journal column from the Purple Heart recipient whom Platner said he wished had died during the war.
Next, they condemn the latest threat targeting a U.S. Supreme Court justice after Justice Amy Coney Barrett was the target of an attempted swatting - sending police to a home under false pretenses. Thankfully, police quickly recognized the hoax before it escalated. Jim and Greg also reflect on how political violence and intimidation have continued to worsen since the attempted assassination of Justice Brett Kavanaugh four years ago.
Then, they react to comments from New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, who told Democrats that if enough Democrat women vote, they won’t need support from men to win elections. Jim and Greg consider what Lujan Grisham is really saying here and the massive media double standard that comes with it.
Finally, they cringe as the majority of artists withdraw from an already lackluster lineup of Freedom 250 concerts on the National Mall starting next month. Jim and Greg have some fun discussing some of the names that were on the schedule but note how this news is also a reflection of how divisive our nation is right now.

| 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. |
| 0:13.5 | So glad to have you with us for the Friday edition of the three martini lunch. |
| 0:17.3 | Once again, we've made it to the end of the week. |
| 0:19.4 | Happy about that. |
| 0:20.5 | And Jim, you know, usually hear about Susan Collins in relation to whatever bill is on the floor of the Senate or, you know, how is she going to vote on this or how is she going to vote on that. Recently, it's how is she going to match up against Graham Platner, the presumptive Democratic nominee, the official primary there's not till June 9th, |
| 0:37.9 | but with Janet Mills dropping out, he's the guy. The Democrats are stuck with him, and even though |
| 0:43.1 | there are more than a few Democrats publicly saying they wish that weren't the guy in Maine, |
| 0:47.7 | he's going to be the guy in Maine. And he's already, of course, lashing out against Susan Collins |
| 0:52.2 | in ridiculous ways, one of which Jim is that he says Susan Collins voted to send him to go die in Iraq |
| 1:00.2 | because she voted for the use of military force. |
| 1:03.6 | They're in the fall of 2002. |
| 1:05.9 | Iraq war starting in 2003. |
| 1:08.2 | The media finally catching up with Susan Collins yesterday, and well, she was ready |
| 1:12.7 | to respond. Senator Collins, Mr. Plattner says that you sent him to war, but in fact, he |
| 1:18.7 | enlisted twice. What is your comment on that? Well, first of all, he not only enlisted twice |
| 1:26.2 | after the war was started, but he also went to work for a security |
| 1:33.3 | company, a controversial one named Blackwater, after his term in the service was over. |
| 1:43.3 | So I respect anyone who steps forward to serve their country. |
| 1:48.5 | But the fact is that was Plattner's decision to serve. He was not drafted. |
| 1:54.7 | And of course, Grant Platner is saying no one's been drafted in over 50 years. Every one of those |
