Summary

Join Jim and Greg as they discuss what to expect from Kamala Harris, Tim Walz, and Dana Bash now that Harris is finally agreeing to an interview. They also weigh in on Democrats and environmentalists ignoring a massive oil spill in the Red Sea caused by Iranian proxies and Politico being horrified that JD Vance is connecting Harris to the performance of the Biden administration.

First, Jim is glad to see Harris finally agree to any interview after 37 days of ducking formal, on-camera interviews and press conferences. He and Greg also consider how CNN's Dana Bash will approach the event and which questions need to be asked.

Next, they scratch their heads as the Biden administration, national Democrats and prominent environmental groups remain awfully quiet after the Iran-backed Houthis attacked an oil tanker in the Red Sea, triggering an exponentially bigger spill than the Exxon Valdez suffered back in 1989.

Finally, they hammer Politico for reporting that GOP vice presidential nominee JD Vance "tries to tether Harris to Biden during Michigan rally." Uh, she's the sitting Vice President of the United States. And Jim and Greg remark on how the media and the left are trying to convince Americans that Harris has no political past or involvement in the very unpopular policies of the Biden presidency.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Three Martini lunch.
0:04.6	Grab a stole next to Greg Carumbus of Radio America and Jim Garrity of National Review.
0:09.4	Three Martini's coming up.
0:11.6	Hey, very glad you're with us for the West. Three Martini's coming up.
0:17.0	Hey, very glad you're with us for the Wednesday edition of the Three Martini lunch. Good, bad, crazy Martini's for you today.
0:20.0	And Jim, the streak is almost over. It's almost like watching Joe DiMaggio's hitting streak or some other major sporting event but Kamala Harris is finally going to do an interview. She's going to do it Thursday alongside Tim Walls with
0:35.4	Dana Bash of CNN. It's going to err apparently at 9 Eastern that evening. Some people
0:41.1	are complaining that it's not live and that
0:44.4	walls is with her and of course that they don't think Dana-Bash will be fair
0:48.6	but there are a lot of complaints about Dana-Bash before the debate too and she and
0:52.1	Jake Tapper seemed to conduct that
0:54.4	about as well as you could expect CNN to do such a thing so so we'll see if
0:59.7	Harris and Wells get asked the questions that we think need to be asked about all of our
1:03.4	flip-flopping positions and everything else and some of the questions that Tim
1:07.5	Walls has been dodging for the last few weeks as well. So we'll see what we get
1:11.6	but hopefully this is just the start of some serious
1:16.4	interviews serious questions because so far it's all been vibes and fake joy and
1:22.3	Changing positions to basically admit tacitly that she knows Americans
1:27.1	hate what she was pushing four years ago.
1:29.2	And Greg, coconut tree memes, feel the joy, mandatory joy.
1:37.2	So I argue this should be the good martini.
1:39.4	And I understand if listeners are like, what?
