Inside the U.S. Mission to Save Crew Shot Down in Iran

Inside the U.S. Mission to Save Crew Shot Down in Iran

Author: Jim Geraghty & Greg Corombos – Political Humor Commentary April 6, 2026 Duration: 27:11
Jim Geraghty is back! Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down the jaw-dropping success of the U.S. military in rescuing two Americans shot down over Iran, the far-left bias pushed in an AP government textbook, and the eyebrow-raising parenting confessions from Jennifer Siebel Newsom, wife of California Gov. Gavin Newsom. Plus, they welcome the return of Savannah Guthrie to NBC’s Today show.

First, 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. 

Next, they react to an X post from New York Post and Fox News columnist Karol Markowitz, who spotlights a controversial political spectrum chart from an AP high school government textbook. The graphic places major political figures on axes of authoritarianism vs. libertarianism and economic left vs. right. The results are insane. Is your child being taught this too?

Then, they dive into comments from California "First Partner" Jennifer Siebel Newsom, who revealed that she had her sons play with dolls and she makes sure the hero is a female in every story she reads to her kids. Jim and Greg reveal what they think of this parenting advice and what impact this could have on Gavin Newsom's presidential ambitions.

Finally, they're glad to see Savannah Guthrie return to the Today show after more than two month of a nightmare that's still unresolved.

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.
