Dem Officials Keep Inflaming Instead of Calming

Dem Officials Keep Inflaming Instead of Calming

Author: Jim Geraghty & Greg Corombos – Political Humor Commentary January 9, 2026 Duration: 31:14
Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they chronicle the parade of elected Democrats consistently ratcheting up their irresponsible rhetoric after immigration enforcement-related shootings. They also dive into the massive demand for change in Iran and Megyn Kelly drifting further in a bad direction.

First, they're encouraged to see millions of Iranians in the streets condemning the mullahs who have left them destitute and demanding an end to the current government. The regime has now shut off internet access. Will a violent crackdown ensue, or will the movement just keep growing?

Next, Jim and Greg vent as Democrats from Minnesota to Oregon and beyond react to shootings involving ICE and Customs & Border Patrol by demonizing federal law enforcement officers and inflaming the people they are supposed to be serving. Is it because they want rage instead of calm?

Finally, they reject Megyn Kelly's latest explanation for standing by Tucker Carlson's softball interview of Nick Fuentes and her contention that Fuentes is "very interesting, very smart, and, on a lot of things, there is a lot of value to be derived from that guy's messaging."

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.
