Summary
First, they dig into the four-day firestorm of criticism against South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, after it was revealed in her forthcoming autobiography that years ago she shot a 14-month-old dog when it failed as a hunting dog. They're also critical of Noem and hope this development takes her out of the running for the GOP vice presidential nomination since her previous personal and policy decisions already ought to disqualify her.
Next, they groan as the FBI fails to get an accurate picture of crime rates across the nation by forcing local police to enter data in such a cumbersome way that some big cities don't enter crime statistics at all. And even in the cities where authorities do submit crime numbers, the FBI is still reporting lower numbers than local officials are announcing. Bottom line: the left's narrative that crime is plummeting (allegedly to 50-year lows) is dead wrong.
Finally, they roll their eyes as NBC's Kelly O'Donnell lavishes praise on President Biden, saying his mere presence at the White House Correspondents Dinner is a strong defense of free speech and a free press. The Biden's administration's track record tells a very different story.

| 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 | And we're so glad you're Three Martini's coming up. |
| 0:18.0 | And we're so glad you're with us for the Monday edition of the Three Martini lunch. We've got Three Martini's for you today. |
| 0:20.0 | The middle one's definitely bad, the last one's certainly crazy |
| 0:24.2 | This one's mostly bad that we're gonna start off with but there is a sliver of good news here and that is the now four day old and counting saga of South Dakota Governor Christie Nome, who is |
| 0:36.8 | reportedly in the running to be Trump's running mate. She's got a book coming |
| 0:41.3 | out which I assume was part of the effort to burnish her image, |
| 0:44.1 | since not a lot of Americans paid super close attention to South Dakota politics. |
| 0:48.3 | But I think she is proud of her |
| 0:55.0 | handling of COVID and keeping the state open for the most part, |
| 0:53.0 | but there's, let's just say other things in her record |
| 0:55.0 | that make her a very questionable choice even before all this happened. |
| 0:59.0 | But in this book, she tells the story of a dog named Cricket |
| 1:02.0 | that she had, I don't know, 20 years ago or so and Cricket |
| 1:05.4 | didn't turn out to be a good hunting dog. There may or may not have been |
| 1:09.4 | incidents nipping at people or other animals on the farm and anyway and ends up like a |
| 1:14.9 | sopranos episode where cricket gets taken out to the gravel pit and shot in the |
| 1:18.2 | back of the head and so Christy Nomen mitts killing her dog and so the firestorm that then engulfs politics from a |
| 1:25.9 | bipartisan perspective is an intense inferno of criticism and she should be |
| 1:32.1 | getting criticism and her decision to double down yesterday on Twitter |
