Summary

Wrap up this crazy, eventful week with the Friday Three Martini Lunch. Jim and Greg start with a quick cheer for the January jobs report before moving on to the three main discussions of the day. First, they get a kick out of Hawaii Sen. Mazie Hirono telling CNN's Wolf Blitzer that President Trump wasn't really acquitted and Blitzer pointing out in detail that, in fact, Trump really was found not guilty. They also celebrate the intelligence and military precision that combined to target and kill Qassim al-Rimi, the leader of Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. And Jim unleashes a devastating rant against now former Republican presidential candidate Joe Walsh, who has now flip-flopped to the point where he vows to vote for whoever wins the Democratic nomination, even if it's an avowed socialist.

0:43.8	martini but great news again from the labor department we talked on
0:47.9	Wednesday about all the great employment news that president Trump included in his state of the Union address, but we've just
0:54.8	got the January job numbers.
0:56.4	225,000 for the month, expectation 158,000.
1:02.7	We do have the unemployment rate ticking up to 3.6%, but that's because the labor force participation
1:08.8	rate is increasing, so that's always good.
1:12.1	Also wages higher than expected was supposed to be 3%
1:17.0	over the past year 3.1% actually now so a beating expectations across the
1:21.2	board. Yeah you know we thought about making this a full separate martini, but we talked about the jobs numbers during
