Injustice in Charlotte? Newsom's Odd Parenting, Amazing Iran Rescue | Last Call

Author: Jim Geraghty & Greg Corombos – Political Humor Commentary April 11, 2026 Duration: 28:14
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, Jim and Greg break down how the Charlotte train murderer may escape true justice, the eyebrow-raising parenting confessions from Jennifer Siebel Newsom, wife of California Gov. Gavin Newsom, and the jaw-dropping success of the U.S. military in rescuing two Americans shot down over Iran.

First, they vent after DeCarlos Brown, who stabbed Iryna Zarutska to death on train in Charlotte, is deemed incompetent to stand trial in a mental health evaluation. Jim and Greg explain how it's thoroughly implausible for this diagnosis to suddenly emerge now and how this would be a major miscarriage of justice if the court agrees.

Next, they dive into comments from California "First Partner" Jennifer Siebel Newsom, who revealed some extreme parenting tactics to fight the patriarchy. Jim and Greg reveal what they think of her advice and what impact this could have on Gavin Newsom's presidential ambitions.

Then, they marvel at the U.S. military’s unwavering commitment to leaving no man behind and highlight the remarkable coordination between armed forces and the intelligence community to extract the American flight crew before Iranian forces could capture them. 

Finally, in this week's chaser, they can only laugh as MSNOW's Lawrence O'Donnell launches the most ridiculous attack possible in connection with the amazing rescue mission conducted in Iran last weekend.

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.

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.
