Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they chronicle Iranian officials getting blown up as they try to choose new leaders, President Trump dismissing the rantings of anti-Israel figures on the right, and the and the investigation into the Austin, Texas, terrorist attack.
First, they react to reports that remaining Iranian officials continue gathering in person to select new leadership, only to be eliminated in additional air strikes. Jim and Greg highlight what this reveals about Israeli intelligence capabilities, as well as the stubbornness or stupidity of Iran’s regime figures
Next, they go through the baseless ramblings of Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, and others criticizing the attacks on Iran. They note President Trump’s willingness to directly dismiss complaints from Carlson and Megyn Kelly and discuss why presidents often govern very differently on national security than they campaign, especially on national security.
Finally, they examine the mass shooting in Austin, Texas, which authorities are investigating as an act of terrorism. Jim expresses cautious optimism that the absence of additional attacks in recent days may suggest concerns about widespread Iranian sleeper cells operating inside the United States have been overstated.
