Dem Rep. LaMonica McIver Sparks Firestorm in ICE Hearing

Dem Rep. LaMonica McIver Sparks Firestorm in ICE Hearing

Author: Jim Geraghty & Greg Corombos – Political Humor Commentary February 11, 2026 Duration: 29:10
Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they react to a chaotic House oversight hearing on ICE operations, the federal government’s sudden halt and restart of flights in El Paso, and California’s controversial “jock tax” that reportedly cost Seattle's quarterback more than he earned for winning the Super Bowl.

First, they break down the theatrics from Tuesday’s House immigration hearing, where Democrats grilled ICE Director Todd Lyons over enforcement actions. New Jersey Rep. LaMonica McIver went so far as to ask Lyons whether he believed he was going to Hell for ICE’s policies. Jim notes the absurdity of her questions and the massive double standard Democrats emply on matters of faith.

Next, they scratch their heads as the Federal Aviation Administration orders a 10-day clearance of air space around El Paso, Texas. But a few hours later, the order was lifted. At the time Jim and Greg recorded, the official explanation was the incursion of a drone from a Mexican cartel. Since then the explanations have only gotten more strange.

Finally, they comment on the insanity of California's "jock tax" which cost Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold roughly $71,000 more than he earned for winning the game. Jim and Greg discuss how extreme this policy is and how these sorts of laws could impact the success of certain teams down the road.

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.
