Summary

Join Jim and Greg as they dive into three crazy stories, namely Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer scoffing at the notion that there is a crime problem in Washington, Democratic presidential hopefuls realizing their hard left base expects them to be anti-Israel, and a Florida GOP congresswoman asserting that UFO's suggest we've been visited by "interdimensional" beings.

First, they marvel that Democrats are not suggesting a different wat to fight crime in the nation's capital, but are actually insisting that crime is not a problem there. Sen. Schumer says he always feels safe walking the streets of Washington, but Jim explains that the rest of us don't have a security detail to protect us.

Next, they're disturbed but not surprised to learn that prospective Democratic presidential candidates are tacking more anti-Israel because the progressive wing of the party loudly demands it. Jim and Greg look back at another sudden shift Democrats had in response to their base a generation ago, and point out that a majority of Democrats in the U.S. Senate already want to stop arming Israel.

Finally, they react to Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna for telling Joe Rogan that she has heard convincing testimony from people who claimed to see technology beyond what humans can produce. Furthermore, Rep. Luna suggests this technology was created by "interdimensional" beings. Jim finds the argument thoroughly underwhelming and questions whether the voters in Luna's district could do better.

0:00.0	Welcome to the three martini lunch. Grab a stool next to Greg Carumbus of Radio America and Jim Garrity of National Review.
0:10.6	Three martini's coming up. So glad you're with us for the Thursday edition of the three martini lunch.
0:17.6	Jim, today we're going to be talking about aliens, not the ones being rounded up by
0:21.1	ice, but the actual aliens, because a member of Congress was talking about that with Joe
0:26.3	Rogan, and that issue seemed to be getting a lot of traction not that long ago. There were
0:30.9	congressional hearings, and then it just kind of got cut off. Not really sure exactly what's going
0:34.8	on there, but we'll have a couple of clips from that. We'll be talking about how the Democratic Party is moving very clearly in a very bad direction
0:43.3	on the policy of Israel. And we're going to be talking about Chuck Schumer and his very insightful
0:50.0	thoughts on crime, what crime in Washington, D.C.
0:54.3	But from people who ignore crime to people obsessed with aliens, to the Democrats, pretty much
1:00.2	realizing that their political future requires them to abandon Israel, not a lot of optimism
1:05.3	on what we're talking about today is their show.
1:07.6	Pre-podcast, we had not discussed whether this was a good, bad, or crazy.
1:12.9	This is all very heavy in the crazy.
1:15.2	Maybe some are a little bit good.
1:16.9	Maybe some are more on the bad side.
1:22.6	But, by the way, like the other weirdness is that none of this, none of these stories have anything to do with the Colorado rabbits with tentacles, which was obviously a major menace. And I want to
1:29.4	point out of everything I've written for NR since I've come back, that has gotten the most traffic
1:33.3	because that is what people are most curious about right now. Let's talk about something else that's
1:39.9	really popular. Brooklyn Bedding. It's very popular in the Carumbus house. I can tell you that.
1:44.8	Mrs. Corumbus and I've had the Brooklyn Bedding mattress now for more than a week, and I just
1:49.6	can't believe how good this mattress is. Always fantastic support. Always a great night's sleep.
