Trump Keeps Iran Guessing, Supremes Uphold Tennessee Trans Law, More Dem Deportation Drama

Episode length: 26m

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday edition of the 3 Martini Lunch as they react to President Trump's cryptic yet playful comments on Iran, break down a major Supreme Court ruling on transgender procedures for minors, and shake their heads at yet another Democrat staging a protest for attention over ICE operations

First, they get a kick out of President Trump having fun with a reporter's question about what might come next with Iran and adding, "I may do it. I may or may not do it." Jim also wonders whether Trump's tough talk is just a smokescreen while Israel finishes the job at the nuclear sites.

Next, they applaud the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold Tennessee’s law banning transgender surgeries, puberty blockers, and related treatments for minors. Jim says there needs to be a distinction between minors and adults on this issue. They also point out that most kids dealing with gender dysphoria end up embracing the way they were made while the surgeries and drugs are irreversible.

Finally, they mock the latest political stunt involving a Democrat getting detained for interfering with ICE operations—this time New York City Comptroller Brad Lander, who also happens to be a mayoral candidate with a primary next week. Jim fears this tactic may become a Democratic litmus test in 2026. And they both have fun imagining a more organized way for Dems to carry out their publicity stunts.
