Summary

After a brief discussion of the media and the markets and convenient coronavirus excuses, we dive into Wednesday's Three Martini Lunch. Join Jim and Greg as they are gratified to see convicted rapist and former Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein sentenced to 23 years in prison. They also discuss what this episode says about our justice system. They also have different reactions to South Carolina Rep. Jim Clyburn suggesting Joe Biden's big wins on Tuesday suggest the Democratic National Committee should "shut this primary down" and "cancel the rest of these debates." And they get a kick out of the writer for "The Atlantic" who feels betrayed because her husband voted for Bernie Sanders for strategic reasons in the California primary while she stuck with Elizabeth Warren.

0:43.3	First of all, I just find it curious that when the Dow is tanking,
0:48.4	there's the live box on CNN and MS NBC all day long with, look much red ink there is and there's a lot
0:54.8	but yesterday when it was up a thousand and up all day it kind of surged towards the end
0:59.3	it wasn't up that much throughout the day curiously that the box wasn't there. Little tiny thing down in the ticker like it usually is, but not taking up a prominent place on the screen. So I'm sure it's just a coincidence, right?
1:12.0	Yeah, I was going to say, Greg, the only good news when you see the stock market dropping
1:15.9	by something really dramatic is that there's a very good chance the next day
1:20.6	a decent number of investors will say, wait a minute, that, what were we thinking?
1:24.7	You know, we are seriously undervaluing these stocks.
1:28.0	They'll start buying and it'll go back up.
1:30.4	No, maybe not the full drop that they had the previous day, but again, you
