Summary
First, they scratch their heads as Justice Jackson cites laws preventing black people from exercising their Second Amendment rights in the Jim Crow south as a precedent for siding with Hawaii's new, strict gun control laws. Thankfully, Justice Sam Alito was there to provide some much needed sanity.
Next, they get a kick out of Blue Lives Matter claiming it ran decoy operations in nine states to draw anti-ICE demonstrators away from real enforcement actions, freeing agents to do their jobs. They also highlight 3 Martini Lunch guest Michele Tafoya announcing her bid for the U.S. Senate in Minnesota.
Finally, they just shake their heads as Tucker Carlson contends that it would be good for Iran to have nuclear weapons because it could help stabilize the region, much like North Korean nukes have supposedly done in that part of the world, and that it would keep the U.S. and Israel from meddling so much in the Middle East. Jim has plenty to say about Tucker's spiraling deeper into utter nonsense.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the three martini lunch. |
| 0:04.4 | Grab a stole next to Greg Carumbus of Radio America and Jim Garrity of National Review. |
| 0:09.3 | Three martini's coming up. |
| 0:11.7 | Hey so glad you're with us for the Wednesday edition of the three martini lunch. |
| 0:17.2 | So glad you're with us and we have two good martinis today for starters and there's actually even like a third little good martini spliced in there, but it's not an official |
| 0:25.3 | martini, but we'll get to all that. And then a truly crazy one. Not a surprising one at this point, |
| 0:30.1 | but certainly a truly crazy one as it relates to Iran. And so we will get to all of that as we talk |
| 0:37.2 | about Minnesota. We'll talk about the Supreme |
| 0:39.7 | Court. Before all that, we get to Mizan and Maine. Once again, wearing one of my favorite shirts from |
| 0:46.5 | Mizan and Maine. So comfortable, so light. I love the lightness of these Mizzen and Maine shirts. |
| 0:52.6 | And here's the thing that tells you a little bit about my M.O. in the morning, Jim. You know that moment when you're running out the door and you need a shirt that looks good, but without messing with an iron, because you probably don't have time for that either. Yeah, well, that's why I like Misson and Maine. They're fast, sharp and ready as you head out the door. Mizzen and Maine's got you covered. You know, Greg, we expanded onto YouTube recently. You know, not that recently. I guess it's been, you know, a couple months now. And I can't tell you how many listeners and viewers of the show have said, how can I look more like Greg Caromis? And I said, some of that's genetics, but also you can dress like him by going to Mizan and Maine. |
| 1:30.0 | Mizan and Maine makes classic menswear with performance fabrics, so it's effortless to look sharp and feel great. |
| 1:35.9 | They've actually invented the performance fabric dress shirt more than 10 years ago, and they've perfected it with modern fabrics. |
| 1:42.3 | These shirts and pants look refined, but they're stretchy, lightweight, moisture wicking, wrinkle-resistant, and completely machine washable, meaning no ironing, no dry cleaning. Mizzen and Maine is offering listeners 20% off your first purchase at Mizonandmaine.com. promo code 3ML20. That's Mizon, spelled M-I-Z-E--N and Maine, M-A-I-N.com, promo code 3ML20 for 20% off. |
| 2:06.9 | Mizzen and Main.com, promo code 3ML20. And if you'd rather shop in person, you can find |
| 2:11.8 | Mizzen and Maine stores in select states. |
| 2:22.3 | All right, Jim, on to our first good martini and back to the Supreme Court. We were just there last week when the lawyer for the ACLU struggled to define a woman and actually didn't even try |
| 2:28.3 | before Justice Samuel Lito. |
| 2:30.3 | But yesterday, the issue at the U.S. Supreme Court was gun control. There is a strict gun control law out in Hawaii that the court is considering. In fact, Hawaii through this law bans the carrying of handguns on private property that is open to the public, which means basically every business everywhere. You're not allowed to carry a gun unless you get express permission to do so. |
| 2:54.0 | Of course, the bad guys don't care about that. |
| 2:55.8 | But nonetheless, in terms of defending Hawaii's law, which Justice Jackson is certainly |
| 3:00.9 | interested in doing, she referred to something called the Black Codes. |
