Summary

Join Jim and Greg for what Jim is describing as the "we told you so" edition of 3 Martini Lunch! Today, they discuss a new poll showing Kari Lake getting crushed in the Arizona U.S. Senate race, the public disappearance of President Biden, and a report showing Biden overruled his advisers in insisting upon the ill-fated Gaza pier.

First, they sigh as a new Fox News poll shows far-left Rep. Ruben Gallego leading Republican Kari Lake by 15 points in the Arizona Senate race. Even if the poll is a bit of an outlier, other surveys show Lake trailing by high single digits. The GOP should be able to field very competitive candidates in Arizona, but Kari Lake is not one of them.

Next, they wonder whatever happened to the guy who is apparently still the president. Biden seems to be in the witness protection program since dropping out of the presidential race, with the exception of his late night convention speech. So is he actually on the job?

Finally, they shake their heads as an inspector general's report shows that USAID officials tried to convince Biden not to construct the Gaza pier because even small waves would render it useless. But Biden rejected their advice and went forward with the operation anyway.

0:20.0	Today is kind of an all bad slash crazy edition to the three martini lunch and Jim has dubbed this in our
0:26.7	pre-tape emails as the we told you so addition of the three martini lunch and so we start with a new poll from Fox News and there's a lot of folks on the right who aren't liking the Fox News polls on the presidential level from yesterday or on some of the down ballot races as well but the one we're going to focus on here,
0:43.7	Arizona Senate.
0:45.8	Arizona is a nip and tuck state.
0:47.8	You see that in the presidential polls.
0:49.6	You've seen it, for the most part, in recent statewide races in other contests including the
0:56.0	2022 governor's race where Katie Hobbs who as best as I can tell was breathing
1:01.0	during the campaign but not doing much else and still managed to edge
1:04.8	Cary Lake. So as a result of that, Cary Lake somehow became the de facto Republican
1:10.1	nominee for Senate this year when there were at least one other promising
1:14.4	candidate sheriff Lamb from Arizona but Republican voters especially after
1:18.8	the Trump endorsement went with Carrie Lake according to the Fox News poll

1:26.1	this open seat now that cinema is not. 56 for Ruben-Giego, 41 for Kerry Lake.
