Iran Slaughters Its People, How Will Trump Respond?

Episode length: 35m

Subscribe to 3 Martini LunchSubscribe

Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they tackle three major stories: the Iranian regime’s brutal crackdown on its own citizens and what a smart U.S. response should be, Democrats abruptly condemning pro-Hamas demonstrators after years of coddling them, and the rise of the so-called “Karen-tifada,” women who spend all day harassing ICE agents.

First, they react to horrifying reports that hundreds or thousands of Iranians were killed in the streets by Iran's ruthless regime. President Trump warned there would be consequences for such atrocities. Will he make good on that promise, and what would an effective, strategic U.S. response actually look like?

Next, Jim and Greg note a surprising but still highly suspect shift as numerous Democrats suddenly denounce a pro-Hamas rally held in a Jewish neighborhood of New York City. Condemning Hamas is the right thing to do but why are so many Democrats doing this major reversal in lockstep after so many took the side of these odious activists over the past few years?

Finally, they chronicle the reckless and potentially dangerous actions of ICE Watch, a group largely made up of middle-aged or older women who track ICE operations, scream at officers, and sometimes interfere with enforcement efforts. Jim tries to figure their motivation for this madness. Greg reads off the horrific crimes committed by the dangerous people these women are inexplicably trying to protect from law enforcement.
