Anti-ICE Violence Escalates in Minnesota, Gov. Walz Inflames Tensions Again

Anti-ICE Violence Escalates in Minnesota, Gov. Walz Inflames Tensions Again

Author: Jim Geraghty & Greg Corombos – Political Humor Commentary January 15, 2026 Duration: 31:58
Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch as they consider President Trump seemingly backing away from taking action against Iran, more violence aimed at federal agents in Minneapolis while Gov. Tim Walz makes things worse again, and a lefty OBGYN can't tell Congress whether man can get pregnant.

First, they're concerned as President Trump seems to accept the word of Iran or its intermediaries that the regime is no longer killing people in the streets or planning to carry out executions. Is there any evidence this is true? After promising the Iranian protesters that "help is on the way," has Trump changed his mind or the Iranian mullahs in for a surprise?

Next, they document more unhinged violence against federal agents in Minneapolis, where an ICE agent was attacked by an illegal immigrant and others who joined the fight, and a mob ripped a gun case out of a federal vehicle. Meanwhile, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz continues to demonize ICE, further inflaming an already volatile situation.

Then, they marvel as an OBGYN at a U.S. Senate hearing repeatedly refuses to answer whether men can get pregnant, hiding behind identity politics instead of stating basic biological facts.

Finally, as longtime fans of the TV show 24, Jim and Greg briefly react to the recent arrest of series star Kiefer Sutherland and the details surrounding the incident.

Each day can feel like a barrage of headlines, a chaotic mix of the serious and the absurd. That’s where 3 Martini Lunch-Political Humor & Commentary comes in. Hosts Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos have built a following by sorting through the noise with a specific, effective ritual. They serve up the day’s events in three distinct parts they call "martinis": one for the genuinely good news, another for the frustratingly bad, and a final one reserved for the utterly crazy stories that defy belief. What you’ll hear in this podcast is a conversation that feels like sitting with two well-informed friends who aren’t afraid to be sharp, witty, or blunt. They analyze politics and culture with a perspective that cuts through partisan talking points, aiming for clarity and, often, a much-needed laugh. The pace is brisk and designed for a commute or a lunch break, but the commentary is substantial. Tuning into this podcast means getting a digest of what matters, framed with humor and insight that makes the whirlwind of news actually digestible. It’s a daily check-in that manages to be both smart and consistently entertaining, providing a structured way to understand the world without losing your sanity in the process.
