Summary
First, they’re pleasantly surprised to see local law enforcement finally break up protests outside a hotel where immigration agents are believed to be staying. It’s a welcome shift that may stem from President Trump’s calls with Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey. But Greg also notes Walz's very slippery language when claiming he's always cooperated in handing over criminals to ICE.
Next, they roll their eyes, as Democrats seem determined to shut down the federal government again with another deadline looming. The Democrats are refusing to fund ICE but Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman is pointing out that shutting down the government won't shut down ICE. So it it would just be another political stunt.
Finally, they end on a lighter note by highlighting an NYPD officer placed on modified duty while an investigation proceeds into his fatal shooting of a raccoon that was allegedly attacking people. Greg explains why he hates raccoons, and both question the wisdom of spending time and resources probing something so trivial.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the three martini lunch. |
| 0:04.8 | Grab a stool next to Greg Corumbus of Radio America and Jim Garrity of National Review. |
| 0:10.6 | Three martini's coming up. |
| 0:13.0 | So glad you're with us for the Tuesday edition of the three martini lunch. |
| 0:17.0 | So much to get to today. |
| 0:18.3 | More of it about Minneapolis and certainly about ice, |
| 0:21.3 | both locally there in Minnesota, as well as here in Congress. And then, Jim, a curious story |
| 0:27.3 | about the New York Police Department and a raccoon. Trust us. You're not going to want to miss |
| 0:33.4 | this story, but we'll get to that in due time. Let's kick it off with the story from Minnesota. |
| 0:39.3 | Jim broke the news yesterday while we were talking about it, |
| 0:42.3 | that Trump and Walls had a phone call, |
| 0:44.3 | and it sounds like Trump and Mayor Jacob Frye also had a phone call, |
| 0:48.3 | that somehow they were going to work together. |
| 0:51.3 | Of course, we knew that Trump had already made the decision to send |
| 0:54.7 | Tom Holman to run the operation in Minneapolis. Bovino from Customs and Border Protection is |
| 1:01.1 | headed back to California, along with some of the agents. Seems like a bit of a demotion here |
| 1:05.7 | for Homeland Security Secretary, Christy Knoem, as well. So nonetheless, we may have actually seen a little |
| 1:12.4 | bit more cooperation here. We're going to talk about this a little bit more to be sure in just a |
| 1:17.2 | second because, you know, you can't ever trust Tim Walls too far. But so far, it seems like we've |
| 1:22.8 | seen a pretty dramatic shift because two nights ago, anti-ice protesters were outside a hotel where they believed, and I think |
| 1:29.2 | they were right, that either ICE |
| 1:31.4 | or CPB personnel were staying |
