Join Charlie Cooke and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they assess Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu dismantling accusations of Israel committing genocide in Gaza, Barack Obama wanting to create new rules for a "common discourse" in America, more evidence of the evils of cashless bail, and the big debate over bringing coffee to a job interview.
First, they applaud Prime Minister Netanyahu's efforts to set the record straight on why genocide accusations against Israel are absurd. It's a convincing case, but Charlie explains why it won't convince many people who already think it's true.
Next, they want nothing to do with former President Barack Obama's call for new town squares and new rules for our common political discourse. Charlie and Greg have seen this move from the left before and have a pretty good idea of the disturbing agenda Obama has in mind.
Then, they sigh as a prominent Pittsburgh-area doctor is murdered in his own home by a criminal who was allowed out of jail on a "nonmonetary bond" for another felony. Charlie and Greg discuss the insanity of no-cash bail and how the left refuses to understand the concept of preventable crimes.
Finally, they weigh in on the generational debate of the week about whether it's OK for Gen Z job applicants to bring coffee to job interviews.
Charlie Cooke, Senior Editor of National Review Online and host of the Charles C.W. Cooke Podcast, is in for Jim today.

Carrying an iced coffee (or any other item not strictly related to the potential job) into a job interview just introduces another logistical problem. It will interfere with handshakes and note-taking. You may have to find a place to put the beverage (and what if it leaves a drip of condensation or other mark?).
Aren't interviewees still expected to carry paper copies of their credentials (a resume) to hand to interviewers who may not have been able to look at the on-line credentials. How do you find that paper, hand it to an interviewer while holding a beverage?
