Big Beautiful Bill Begins, Will Musk Make ‘America Party’? Epstein Conspiracy Laid to Rest

Join Jim and Craig – in for Greg, we must enunciate – for this Monday edition of 3 Martini Lunch. Today they salute Congressional Republicans for getting the Big Beautiful Bill passed, consider Elon Musk's threats to create a new political party, and find truth in the recent Department of Justice declarations about Jeffry Epstein.

First, Jim and Craig congratulate Republicans for pulling together to pass such a consequential piece of legislation. Though Jim does not love every part of it, he is impressed that almost the entire Trump agenda was signed into law by Independence Day.

Next, they worry over Musk's threats, in light of the Big Beautiful Bill's passing, to create the "American Party" as a third-party opposition. Craig wonders how this might impact support of conventional conservative candidates while Jim argues that there probably just aren't enough voters who care about the deficit and debt to fuel a serious third party.

Finally, their own suspicions are laid to rest with the Department of Justice's declaration that Jeffrey Epstein never had a list… even though Pam Bondi said earlier this year the list was on her desk. Suspicions of suicide and blackmail have also been proven wrong. Jim and Craig are convinced by this since the information is not especially advantageous for those who revealed it.
