Summary

Join Jim and Greg for Wednesday’s 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss the mounting economic pressure on China from President Trump’s new tariffs, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp’s decision not to challenge Sen. Jon Ossoff, and explosive findings that the Taliban is making billions selling abandoned U.S. weapons and vehicles to terrorists.

First, they welcome reports that Trump’s 145 percent tariffs are already hitting China hard—forcing many companies to pull out of the U.S. market, threatening millions of Chinese jobs, and sparking public protests over unpaid wages. But will this lead to any major concessions from the communist leaders in Beijing?

Next, they react to Gov. Kemp’s announcement that he won’t run for the U.S. Senate in 2026. Kemp matched up far better against Ossoff than any other likely Republican candidate. They examine why Kemp decided not to run and what the Senate race will look like without him.

Finally, they unload on new findings from the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR), revealing that the Taliban is making billions by selling the military equipment the U.S. abandoned in Afghanistan to terror groups, including Al Qaeda affiliates. Jim and Greg blast both the Biden administration’s epic failures and empty promises, warning that this predictable disaster now poses grave new threats.
