Summary
First, they consider what seems likely to be an unsuccessful effort by Nebraska Republicans to switch the allotment of the state's electoral votes to a winner-take-all system, instead of awarding votes by who wins each congressional district. Jim says some consistency nationwide would be nice, while Greg laughs at all of the outrage on the left when their Electoral College overhaul agenda is far more radical.
Next, they roll their eyes as Bill Clinton gets ready to release another new book in November, this one about his life since leaving the presidency. Jim wonders whether this will finally be the time when Clinton is forced to answer many lingering questions about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.
Finally, they respond to Transportation Sec. Pete Buttigieg gaslighting Americans about the demand for electric vehicles, the auto industry shifting in the direction of EV production, and saying those trying to stop this movement are like people who wanted to focus on landlines as cell phones were coming onto the market. Jim and Greg point out the major holes in Buttigieg's talking points and why his landline comparison is pathetic.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Three Martini lunch. |
| 0:04.7 | Grab a stole next to Greg Carumbus of Radio America and Jim Garrity of National Review. |
| 0:09.4 | Three Martini's coming up. |
| 0:11.8 | Hey, really glad you're with us for the Thursday edition of the Three Martini |
| 0:16.4 | lunch. |
| 0:17.4 | We've got good, bad, and crazy Martini's for you today. |
| 0:20.1 | And Jim, I guess the first one's kind of in the eye of the beholder. |
| 0:24.3 | This is certainly within the right of Nebraska to do this, |
| 0:27.9 | but it's getting a lot of buzz lately about whether Nebraska will change the way it handles its electoral votes. |
| 0:35.9 | It has five electoral votes and it's one of two states along with Maine that does not have a |
| 0:40.4 | winter-take-all system. |
| 0:42.3 | So right now if you win in Nebraska, |
| 0:44.3 | you automatically get two electoral votes. |
| 0:47.6 | And then you also get one electoral vote |
| 0:50.1 | for each congressional district. |
| 0:51.5 | And in 2016, Trump got all five in 2020 |
| 0:55.0 | Biden won the second district which is mostly Omaha and so Trump got four out of five |
| 0:59.7 | so the unicameral legislature in Nebraska, with the support of Nebraska Governor Jim |
| 1:06.6 | Pillin, had been trying to, or at least some had, been trying to change that rule and make it winner take all that all five |
| 1:15.0 | electoral votes would go to the winner of the statewide vote. That did not |
| 1:19.2 | succeed yesterday. In fact it was considered out of order because it was not germane to the topic as you write in today's morning jolt and then on an appeal it lost by a wide march. |
| 1:29.6 | And so I don't know if there's going to be much push again this year. |
