Summary

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch. Today, they applaud President Trump for ratcheting up the pressure on Vladimir Putin and scold him for refusing to allow the president of Taiwan to visit the U.S. And they examine the arrest of the illegal alien serving as a police officer in Maine. 

First, after noting the passing of Chicago Cubs legend Ryne Sandberg, they cheer President Trump for giving Putin a firm 10–12 day deadline to end the war in Ukraine. Trump appears to be losing patience with Putin’s broken promises and ongoing escalations. Jim and Greg also explore how Trump might respond if Putin ignores the warning, and they question America’s continued dependence on adversaries like Russia and China for materials vital to national security.

Next, they slam Trump’s refusal to let Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te stop in New York City en route to Latin America. While the move may be tied to sensitive trade talks with Beijing, Jim argues the U.S. should never let China dictate who can enter our country. They also examine how this decision may embolden the Chinese government. 

Finally, they break down the arrest of an illegal immigrant in Maine who was not only trying to buy a gun but was already working as a local police officer. While officials claim to have used E-Verify to confirm his status, Jim notes the system can’t verify whether applicants actually own the documents they present.

Three martini's coming up.

0:13.3

So many wild things to talk about today on the Tuesday edition of the three martini lunch.

0:17.7

We're very glad you're here.

0:19.2

We'll be talking about the illegal who was caught

0:21.7

while working as a police officer nonetheless, but still trying to illegally obtain a firearm.

0:28.4

We'll definitely get to that. We also have some good Trump, bad Trump today. His running out of patience with Vladimir Putin is certainly good.

0:35.8

But his treatment of the president of Taiwan,

0:38.5

a little bit of a head scratcher. I think I know why it's happening, but it's still not,

0:43.4

I don't think, the right move. Before we get going here, Jim, we talked at the end of last week,

0:48.0

of course, about all the phenomenal figures who were household names in the 80s, Hulk Hogan,

0:52.9

Ozzy Osbourne, Malcolm, Jamal Warner. And at the time, I knew this was coming, but it still stings last night. We found out that Ryan Sandberg, the great second baseman for the Cubs, my favorite baseball player, one of the reasons I cheered for the Cubs, that in WGN and Harry Carey, getting increasingly uninhibited as the game went on and just summer

afternoons, Cubs home games, of course, during the day at that time and just absolutely delightful

1:18.4

to watch that all summer long. Again, another reminder that the 80s was a long time ago,

1:24.6

even though Sandberg just 65 years old, that seems awfully young to us now,

1:28.6

had battled prostate cancer, seemed to be in the clear, and just a few months later,

1:32.4

it was not only back, but metastatic prostate cancer.

1:35.2

And he, again, died yesterday at the age of 65, metastatic prostate cancer, of course.

1:39.4

The same thing, former President Joe Biden dealing with at a much older age.

1:42.9

So, Jim, the days keep going and

sometimes it's hard. It does. And you mention how you fell in love with the Cubs. I just know that
