AOC's Woke 1.0, El-Sayed Hates Thanksgiving, Hunter 's Laptop Lies | Last Call

Author: Jim Geraghty & Greg Corombos – Political Humor Commentary August 15, 2026 Duration: 28:32
Welcome to Last Call, a look at the biggest stories Jim and Greg covered over the past week on the 3 Martini Lunch.

This week, they discuss AOC trying to giggle away the left's repressive and woke lurch since 2020, Abdul El-Sayed becoming the latest Democrat to hate Thanksgiving, Tucker Carlson and Hunter Biden blaming Israel for Hunter's laptop scandal, and the WNBA still failing to define a woman.

First, they fume as New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortes laughs and tries to chalk up the left's destructive demonization of police, white people, and anyone who didn't obey every jot and tittle of the Covid rules as some some crazy "Woke 1" phase the party went through. Jim says you can be sure the next level of wokeness will be far worse.

Next, they throw up their hands as Abdul El-Sayed becomes the latest Democrat in this cycle to express his hatred for Thanksgiving. It was seven years ago and El-Sayed insists he does not believe that anymore. But it came after his run for governor in 2018. They also react to El-Sayed's comments comparing football to the transatlantic slave trade.

Then, they groan as Tucker Carlson and Hunter Biden blame Israel for Hunter's laptop fiasco and pushing the story to the media. Jim begs Biden to go away and he also addresses growing concerns that Tucker will start a third party designed to sink Republicans in 2028.

Finally, they laugh as WNBA officials meet for hours to discuss who should be eligible to play in the league and they couldn't come to any conclusions.

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.
