Summary
First, they react to the news that Republican National Committee Chair Ronna Romney McDaniel will reportedly resign following the GOP South Carolina primary later this month. They chronicle her very unimpressive record on elections, fundraising, and leadership, and how tough the job will be for whoever follows her.
Then, they grimace as House Republicans fail to pass two very high-profile pieces of legislation on Tuesday, namely the impeachment of Homeland Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and military aid for Israel. It is a very slim majority for the GOP, but knowing whether you have the votes to pass things is should be obvious.
Finally, they're unimpressed as Donald Trump suddenly says it's time to let bygones be bygones with Bud Light after the Dylan Mulvaney fiasco from last year, because he thinks Anheuser-Busch is a good company. But there seem to be other reasons for this sudden declaration.

| 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. |
| 0:09.5 | Three Martini's coming up. |
| 0:11.8 | Hey, really glad you're with us for the Wednesday edition of the Three Martini lunch. |
| 0:17.0 | We do have a good Martini, but overall it's a really bad day for the Republican Party, which we'll get into in due course of both of the first |
| 0:25.0 | two Martinez deal with that in fact really all three if we're going to be honest about |
| 0:28.9 | it but let's start with the good last week we talked about the fantastic story or at least very well reported |
| 0:35.5 | story from Jennifer Von Larr of Red State about the financial dysfunction at the Republican |
| 0:41.3 | National Committee how they were only having about $8 million on hand, |
| 0:46.0 | and how they were wasting money on consultants and limos and flowers and office supplies to the tune of $300,000 a year. |
| 0:55.0 | Well, tack on all to that, of course, is the fact that Republicans haven't had a good cycle in a very long time. |
| 1:01.0 | Yet, Glenn Yunken in 2021 that's about it. 2018 Republicans |
| 1:06.2 | easily lost the House. 2020 not only did Trump lose but they managed to in the |
| 1:10.8 | aftermath of that lose both Georgia Senate seats and lose control of the Senate. |
| 1:14.8 | And in 2022, yes, the House was brought back by the slimmest of majorities, which we'll get to in the second, |
| 1:20.9 | Martini. But the Senate Republicans lost a seat, |
| 1:25.9 | and overall Republicans did not do nearly as well as expected. |
| 1:28.5 | So now, Rana Romney McDaniel has apparently decided to step down after the South Carolina |
| 1:36.2 | primary and February 24th. A little bit of confusion on Tuesday night gym. First |
| 1:41.4 | it sounded like she was out immediately and then your |
| 1:43.9 | colleague Zach Kessel said nothing's changed and then it appears that she will in fact |
| 1:48.4 | step down after South Carolina. So after three-plus cycles with not much to show for it in terms of money, |
