Summary
First, they wince as Virginia voters approve the Virginia Democrats’ aggressively partisan congressional map. The fight now moves to court and will likely be decided soon. Jim says Tuesday’s narrow margin shows just how unreasonable a 10-1 Democratic advantage would be for Virginia in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Next, they focus on the Justice Department’s 11-count fraud indictment against the SPLC. Jim and Greg walk through the formal charges and reveal how the SPLC allegedly spent large sums on “informants” within extremist organizations. They also explain why Democrats and much of the media continue to embrace the SPLC.
Then they roll their eyes as Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy draws criticism for calling reports that 26 Iranian vessels got through the U.S. blockade in the Strait of Hormuz “awesome.”
Finally, they wave goodbye to Rep. Cherfilus-McCormick, who resigned Tuesday and still faces federal corruption charges.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the three martini lunch. |
| 0:04.9 | Grab a stool next to Greg Carumbus of Radio America and Jim Garrity of National Review. |
| 0:10.6 | Three martini's coming up. |
| 0:13.3 | So glad you're with us for the Wednesday edition of the three martini lunch. |
| 0:17.0 | Grab a stool, a lot to get to today. |
| 0:18.8 | Three big stories. |
| 0:19.8 | I think they all fit pretty neatly into good, bad, and crazy, although not in that order. Jim, a lot to get to today. Three big stories. I think they all fit pretty neatly |
| 0:21.0 | into good, bad, and crazy, although not in that order. Jim, we start right in our own backyard |
| 0:25.4 | here in Virginia. It's the bad martini. It's a purplish blue state, and that's exactly how |
| 0:31.8 | the results turned out in the redistricting referendum yesterday. |
| 0:39.2 | Pretty good turnout in the red areas. |
| 0:42.2 | Election day voting was actually plus nine for the nose. |
| 0:47.9 | But in the end, the yes is won just because there's a lot more people in the deepest blue parts of the state, |
| 0:50.3 | especially right around where we live here in northern Virginia. |
| 0:56.0 | In the end, it's about a little more than a three-point win for a yes. The latest results with about 18,000 votes allegedly left to count. 51.6 for yes, 48.4% for no. If this is |
| 1:04.3 | allowed to stand, it's going to probably be a 10-to-one map, congressional map in Virginia. |
| 1:09.8 | And as you can tell by that vote, it's not that |
| 1:11.8 | lopsided of a state. Nonetheless, the Democrats have done that. However, the fight now goes to court, |
| 1:17.4 | as Ken Cuccinelli, the former Virginia Attorney General explained on the three martini lunch last week, |
| 1:22.6 | this referendum passing is kind of the equivalent of the governor's signature on legislation. Only now can |
| 1:29.0 | you really take it to court. That's why the Virginia Supreme Court didn't rule on the merits |
| 1:33.1 | prior to the vote. And so he says there's really four major potential challenges here. A lot of it |
