Summary

Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they dive into President Trump urging Republicans to support releasing the Epstein files, disgraced reporter Olivia Nuzzi getting fawning media coverage for her forthcoming book about her relationship with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and James Carville vowing that Democrats will add four seats to the U.S. Supreme Court if they sweep the 2028 elections.

First, they welcome President Trump reversing himself and supporting the Epstein files becoming public. They discuss why Trump is likely doing this after opposing the release for so long, and whether we'll really get to see all the information the government has on Epstein.

Next, Jim details what he learned from a New York Times puff piece on Olivia Nuzzi and her “emotional affair” with then presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. First, JIm says Nuzzi's story is a textbook example of how not to conduct yourself as a journalist. The story also paints Nuzzi in a sympathetic light, but Jim argues she still comes across as a complete “nutjob.” She also levels new accusations at RFK Jr., which Jim sees as more evidence that Kennedy has no business serving as Secretary of Health and Human Services.

Finally, they fire back at James Carville for claiming Democrats have to pack the Supreme Court when and if they have the power to do so in order to have "a Supreme Court people trust again." Radical Vermont Senate candidate Graham Platner says the same thing. Jim says it's astonishing to see the left openly plotting massive upheaval to our system in order to "save democracy" or something.

Three martini's coming up.

0:13.0

Hey, so glad you're with us for the Monday edition of the three martini lunch.

0:17.2

It is taking every ounce of my resolve here, Jim, not to make the good martini the first

place. Chicago Bears in the NFC North. For the last several weeks, they have worked some sort of

0:29.6

magic to beat really bad teams in the last few seconds, sometimes giving away the lead,

0:33.8

sometimes coming back from behind. But I'll take it. We got a lot of harder, a lot of hard games coming up, and we'll see if we keep the thing going here. But playing relevant games in November, pretty fun. Greg, I salute you. I congratulate you. I, you know, good for you and all the Chicago Bear fans out there. I just want to note though, like, I'm in a track group with a couple of

0:54.7

Washington commanders fans. And for a long time, the commanders stunk and the Jets stunk. And so when

0:59.5

the commanders were good last year, it made the playoffs, it felt kind of like you're all in

1:03.1

prison and one of your buddies gets let out early. And you're kind of like, you're happy for him

1:08.0

and her, but you're kind of like, ah, you know, so mixed feelings. Good for you, Greg. Good for you. I hope to join you someday. But I've got more years on my sentence, apparently. Yeah, unfortunately, we still got seven more games to go. We'll see if it continues. But, yeah, we're going to be talking today about James Carville going further and further left. He's actually said this before,

1:27.8

but he's talking about the second that Democrats complete the sweep in 2028.

1:32.6

He just assumes that part's going to happen,

1:34.5

that they're going to immediately stack the Supreme Court to 13 justices.

1:39.3

Graham Plattenor is on board with that, too.

1:40.9

So if you're James Carville, there's no place you'd rather be

1:43.2

then in agreement with Graham Platner. And then, of course, in the bad martini. Jim has written today in the

1:49.6

morning jolt about Olivia Nuzzi's, is it a new book, forthcoming book, whatever it is, talking about

1:55.1

her affair, not physical, but emotional, digital affair with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. after she covered him

2:02.6

as an independent presidential candidate last year. But we're going to start, of course,

in just a minute with President Trump flipping and supporting now the move to release
