Summary
First, they take you step-by step through the quick disintegration of the Donald Trump-Elon Musk friendship: from Musk calling the siganture GOP legislation a "disgusting abomination" to Trump calling Elon crazy and threatening to void his government contracts to Elon saying Trump is in the Epstein report and agreeing that Trump should be impeached. Jim says they both have valid points concerning the legislation but suspects the overall impact of this fight will be bad for conservatives.
Next, they're stunned to find a few House Democrats actually focusing on something that deserves attention. New York Rep. Ritchie Torres and several of his colleagues are asking Homeland Security and the Director of National Intelligence for an update on their investigations into China's sinister cyber terrorism in the Volt Typhoon and Typhoon Salt attacks. There's no evidence the Trump administration isn't investigating these attacks, but it's always good to keep keep a very close eye on China.
Finally, they examine the investigation into the Biden administration using the autopen to sign pardons, executive orders, and more. While it's likely Biden misunderstood or forgot much of what he signed, and possible things were signed in his name, they suspect it's going to be hard to prove that things were enacted without his consent - unless the Biden staffers start revealing more as their infighting gets more intense.

| 0:10.6 | Three martini's coming up. |
| 0:12.9 | So glad you're with us for the end of the week fun here on the three martini lunch. |
| 0:17.6 | We have all sorts of things to talk about today. |
| 0:20.1 | We're going to be talking about |
| 0:20.9 | the controversy into Joe Biden's use of the autopin and what a Republican investigation could |
| 0:26.5 | plausibly conclude and what the impact of that might be. We'll also be taking a look at |
| 0:31.6 | Democrats on Capitol Hill, actually focusing on an issue that matters. That's a new thing that they haven't done in a long |
| 0:38.3 | time. So we'll talk about that. It deals with Chinese cyber spying and cyberterrorism. But of course, |
| 0:44.0 | we're going to start with the news that broke pretty much after we were done recording yesterday. |
| 0:49.7 | And I don't know if Corinjean Pierre is the happiest person in the world because the rest of the |
| 0:53.3 | Democrats stopped piling on or now she's really mad because nobody's talking about her book |
| 0:56.9 | anymore. But either way, obviously the big story yesterday afternoon, Jim, was the online |
| 1:02.8 | dust up between President Trump and Elon Musk. This started earlier in the week when |
| 1:08.1 | Musk went public with his opposition to the one big, beautiful |
| 1:12.4 | bill calling it a disgusting abomination and encouraging people to contact their congressmen and their |
| 1:18.3 | senator to vote against it. And then yesterday, Trump finally punched back a little bit at |
| 1:25.0 | 237 as you report in the jolt today on truth social. Trump says |
