Summary
First, they share the powerful backstory of Alysa Liu, whose father fled Communist China after the Tiananmen Square crackdown and later resisted Chinese Communist Party efforts to monitor the family and pressure them to return. Inez says it also highlights what should be a key factor in deciding who should be allowed to enter this country.
Next, they assess the Supreme Court’s decision limiting President Donald Trump’s ability to impose tariffs under emergency powers. Inez points out that the overarching ruling leaves the power to tax with the legislative branch but that the raft of concurring opinions shows the court is deeply divided beyond that.
Finally, they shake their heads as mainstream Democrats are now following Zohran Mamdani's lead and calling for price controls on groceries. There's no chance this ends well, but Inez reminds us that this was the Democrats' approach for decades before briefly moving away from it.

| 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. |
| 0:13.0 | Hey, so glad you're with us for the Friday edition of the three martini lunch. |
| 0:16.9 | As Jim Garrity mentioned yesterday, he is away today. |

| 0:22.6 | And as Stepman of the Independent Women's Forum, and as it's always good to have you with us. |
| 0:26.1 | It's always great to be here. Well, let's talk about three important stories today. The big news out of |
| 0:31.1 | Washington is the Supreme Court decision on tariffs. We'll get to that in just a few minutes. |
| 0:35.2 | But let's talk about one on the global scale. I don't know how |
| 0:38.2 | much Olympic watching you have done. I have kind of jumped in and out at various times to see |
| 0:43.8 | some of the most impressive performances. And since it's kind of taped delayed over there in Italy, |
| 0:48.9 | you already know, going into prime time probably, who won in some cases. But yesterday, one of the |
| 0:54.0 | signature events of the |
| 0:55.0 | Winter Olympics, the women's figure skating long program, final round, and the gold medal goes |
| 1:00.3 | to American Alyssa Liu. And this is an important story. And as for a couple of reasons, first |
| 1:06.2 | of all because the international media has fawned all over American Eileen Gou, who has represented China |
| 1:14.5 | in these Olympics and has gotten kid glove treatment. Meanwhile, the American athletes keep |
| 1:18.9 | getting asked to say negative things about Trump and the United States and so forth. But in |
| 1:23.6 | addition to the United States winning this gold medal, and specifically with Alyssa Lou, the backstory of her family is amazing. |
| 1:30.0 | Her father was a pro-democracy, pro-freedom protester, and then fled the country after the |
| 1:35.8 | Tiananmen Square crackdown, came to the United States, built a life for himself. |
