Knowledge or Not, Here We Come

This week's delayed episode is a throwback to the old days, with just Steve and Lucretia in attendance because travel schedules disrupted all three of the 3WHH bartenders. So the original dynamic duo just kick around some news highlights of the week and offer a couple book recommendations. Is "not to my knowledge" Ilhan Omar's version of Bill Clinton's "I did not have sexual relations with that woman" (IF "Ilhan Omar" is her real name)? This appears to be one of those cases where the media's favorite mistaken cliché about Trump—"the walls are closing in"—appears to apply. And what's up with the polls? Hard to tell, even from the real ones, let alone the fake ones and the media's psyop that is trying to suppress Republican turnout. It's all very weird. Finally, Lucretia and Steve share two books currently on the top of their reading pile. Lucretia is reading Raymond Ibrahim's Defenders of the West: The Christian Heroes Who Stood Against Islam, while Steve recommends Rupert Darwall's The Age of Error and the West's Undoing, just from our friends at Encounter Books.

Ilhan Omar’s Odd Answer, Leftists Burning France, Another Bogus Pollster | Last Call

Welcome to Last Call, a look at the biggest stories Jim and Greg covered over the past week on the 3 Martini Lunch. This week, they discuss Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar's answer to whether she married her brother, the radical left in France continuing to burn down the nation's history and culture, another fake polling firm getting exposed, and a special anniversary for our podcast. First, they react to Rep. Omar being asked by MSNOW whether she married her brother and Omar answering, "not to my knowledge." That's a major shift from her previous responses and comes as Omar is the subject of an intensifying immigration fraud investigation. Next, they fume over the left continuing to riot and destroy in France. Somehow "protests" over education are leading to widespread arson and other destruction, including the torching of the historic town hall in Limoges. Jim and Greg explain why this chaos has nothing to do with the stated issues and how weak the French government looks in response. Then, a second polling firm has now admitted that it fabricated results and was just trying to see how easy it was for media outlets and others to accept their results with little to no scrutiny. Finally, Jim and Greg celebrate 16 years and counting of the 3 Martini Lunch. New episodes every weekday. 👉 Subscribe to the show so you never miss a moment.

Noncitizens Are Getting Registered to Vote. Here’s What’s Going Wrong.

Are noncitizens getting registered to vote in America’s elections? J. Christian Adams, president and general counsel of the Public Interest Legal Foundation, joins Rob Bluey on “Midterm Report” to examine noncitizens on voter rolls, weaknesses in state election systems, and what election officials can do before the 2026 midterms. Adams discusses cases in California involving noncitizens who were registered despite indicating they weren’t U.S. citizens. He also explains why the true scope of the problem is difficult to measure, how states can use federal citizenship data to improve voter-roll accuracy, and why even a small number of illegal votes could matter in a razor-thin election. Plus, Adams weighs in on voter ID, California’s election laws, early voting, and the states he believes deserve greater scrutiny heading into Election Day. Watch the full conversation on the Daily Signal’s “Midterm Report.”

BONUS | How Can We Succeed Where USAID Failed? | Ben Black

You'd be forgiven if you'd never heard of the US International Development Finance Corporation. Even by Washington standards, DFC sounds like an agency specifically designed to make your eyes glaze over, but push past your initial misapprehension at the label, and DFC is actually one of the most essential agencies in the District of Columbia and a key player in our fight against the Chinese Communist Party. For years, Beijing has used its economic heft to expand its influence through initiatives like Belt and Road. Beijing invests in infrastructure in the developing world, locking down access to critical minerals and making itself indispensable to countries that might otherwise rather deal with us. In response, America realized, that maybe letting China corner everything important is a bad idea. Enter the DFC. In its own words, the agency mobilizes private capital to advance U.S. foreign policy and economic development. So rather than simply handing out foreign aid and hoping for the best, DFC utilizes the power of capitalism to counter Chinese communism. What's more American than that? That raises some interesting questions, though. How is this any different than the scuttled USAID program, filled to the brim with wokeness? Where should America be investing? And can Washington actually behave like an investor without eventually devolving into bureaucratic bloat? Here to answer those questions is Ben Black, the current CEO at the DFC.

A Great Deal of Ruin, Indeed

The great Douglas Murray, bestselling author of The Strange Death of Europe and On Democracies and Death Cults, joins James and Steve to discuss the mass immigration problem he's been sounding the alarm on for over a decade.

Plus, James and Steve raise an eyebrow each at Ilhan Omar's uncertainty over an important detail about one of her marriages. The duo also talk about all kinds of food: fast, foreign, and regrettable.

S15 EP191: Hour 1 - Ilhan Omar’s Father, the Fact-Checkers Who Covered for Him, and the Fake Polls Spooking Voters

Erick opens an open line Friday, revisiting the Ilhan Omar story, playing her own words to Chris Hayes and reading a Pirate Wires piece by Ashley Rindsberg that argues Snopes and the fact-check industry waved away questions about her father, Nur Omar Mohammed, while noting the immigration investigation began under the Biden administration. He then turns to the midterms: the Fox News poll with James Talarico and Ken Paxton tied in Texas, rural Georgia early voting down 50 percent from 2022, fake polls from firms like SoCal Strategies, Abdul El-Sayed on defense in Michigan, and farmer anger over tariffs. He also calls Vivek Ramaswamy's Amy Acton ad political malpractice for every Ohio Republican forced to answer for it. Ilhan Omar's clip with Chris Hayes, her father Nur Omar Mohammed, the Snopes "mostly false" rating, and why Erick says the investigation started under Biden, not Trump How Dan Rather, Power Line, Snopes, and PolitiFact explain the rise of the media fact-check industry and the left-wing narrative it protects Fox News poll shows James Talarico and Ken Paxton dead even in the Texas Senate race, plus rural Georgia early voting down 50 percent per the AJC's Patricia Murphy Fake polls and midterm Senate races: SoCal Strategies, 50 Plus One, Abdul El-Sayed and Mike Rogers in Michigan, Peggy Flanagan, David Jolly, Angie Nixon, Ashley Moody, Sherrod Brown, and an 8 point Democratic generic ballot lead Tariffs hurting farmers in Iowa, Nebraska, and Kansas, Argentine beef imports, and Vivek Ramaswamy's Amy Acton ad dragging Ohio Republicans into a fight

S15 EP191: Hour 2 - Greg Abbott Fires Up Texas Turnout, and Why Tariffs Are Now the Republican Anchor

Texas Governor Greg Abbott joins Erick to sound the alarm on record Democratic early voting in the Texas governor race against Gina Hinojosa, as a new Fox News poll shows James Talarico and Ken Paxton dead even in the Senate race. Erick then spotlights rural Georgia turnout down 50 percent from 2022, tells Republicans to skip the line they dislike but still vote, and makes the case that tariffs have become the Republican anchor with a net negative 39 percent approval. He also explains why he does not believe the Vanity Fair story on Jared Kushner and lays out what the data says about marriage, free markets, and a successful society. Gov.

S15 EP191: Hour 3 - Why Erick Might Hold His Nose for Paxton, and Trump’s Late Tariff Retreat as Iran Rattles Oil

Erick says he could hold his nose and vote for Ken Paxton just to keep James Talarico out of the Texas Senate, while refusing to back Mike Collins in Georgia, and argues voters must be earned, not browbeaten into voting the team. Breaking news that the Trump administration will cut 50 percent Canada tariffs to help Susan Collins in Maine leads into a hard look at Iran, with Brent crude near $117, the Dow down nearly 600 points, a working oil blockade, and reports the U.S. and Israel plan regime change after the midterms.

Hillary’s Court-Packing Plan & Dem Senate Election Shenanigans

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss new data showing red states doing far better than blue states in job creation, Hillary Clinton wanting to pack the Supreme Court with one revealing condition, Democrats' disgusting meddling in two Senate races, and the stupidity of overseas NFL games. First, they're glad to see new numbers from the Bureau of Labor Statistics showing red states with the best job growth compared to just before the Covid lockdowns. Most of the worst-performing states are blue states. Jim and Greg explain why this is consistently the case. Next, they respond to Hillary Clinton urging the creation of four more seats on the U.S. Supreme Court. But does she want to do it now? No, she doesn't. Jim and Greg expose the left's unhealthy demonization of the court and its relentless quest for power. Then, they look at the Alaska Senate race, where lots of left-wing money is being spent to promote little-known Dan Sullivan because he is running against GOP Sen. Dan Sullivan. But that's not who the Dems actually want to win. And in Montana, Dems are livid that their own nominee won't drop out to improve the odds of the "independent" candidate they really prefer. Finally, they fume over the NFL games played in Europe in the wake of a major medical controversy and a game being played this weekend amid the unrest in Paris.

Victor Davis Hanson: Ukraine’s Verdun and NATO’s Failure

The war in Ukraine has dragged on for more than four years, with millions of Russian and Ukrainian casualties and no clear path to victory. Like Verdun in World War I, the conflict has become a grinding war of attrition with no decisive breakthrough in sight. Meanwhile, European leaders continue to demand American support against Russia while restricting U.S. efforts to counter Iran’s nuclear ambitions. Europe wants the security guarantees of the United States, but is it prepared to shoulder the responsibilities that come with them?

Throwing Cold Water on the Blue Wave

There's no getting around the fact that Republicans are unpopular these days or that they're in for an unpleasant midterm.

Plus, Henry draws an important distinction between the lead and the level of predicted vote share to explain why all 2-point edges should not be considered equal.

Does Reality Await, or Is This It? What the Strokes Reveal About the Past – and Future – of Rock

Twenty-five years ago, the New York City band The Strokes released one of the most widely hyped debut albums in rock history. Critics saw them as the saviors of rock n’ roll. But if the cultural influence of modern rock music is any indication, that promise fell short. In his new book Is This It: The Never-Ending Rise and Fall of the Strokes (and Rock ‘n’ Roll), music journalist Steven Hyden considers the fickle fate of rock through the trajectory of the Strokes’ career. He joins the podcast to discuss how the Strokes fit into rock history, why they captured such attention, and what their latest releases indicate about the future of music. He and Chris also discuss cigarettes, the return of Oasis, and Wisconsin sports culture.

Ilhan Omar’s stunning answer to MSNOW

Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch as they dissect Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar's answer to whether she married her brother, Michigan GOP Senate candidate Mike Rogers exposing Democrat Abdul El-Sayed as a serial liar, Belgium taking forever to fix F-16's used by Ukraine, and the feds indicting one of the most powerful Democrats in Virginia. First, they react to Rep. Omar being asked by MSNOW whether she married her brother and Omar answering "not to my knowledge." That's a major shift from her previous responses and comes as Omar is the subject of an intensifying immigration fraud investigation. Next, Mike Rogers exposes the litany of lies Abdul El-Sayed has told about his personal past, his ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, never actually being licensed as a physician, and more. Jim wonders if Rogers has too many good avenues to attack El-Sayed. Then, they scratch their heads as a Belgian firm is taking up to 40 weeks to do maintenance on the F-16's we gave Ukraine, when U.S. personnel usually do it in less than a month.
