Iran Sleeper Cell Warnings Grow & CNN Coddles NYC Terrorists

Iran Sleeper Cell Warnings Grow & CNN Coddles NYC Terrorists

Author: Jim Geraghty & Greg Corombos – Political Humor Commentary March 10, 2026 Duration: 28:08
Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch podcast as they react to reports that Iran may be attempting to activate terrorist sleeper cells inside the United States, celebrate the Iranian women’s soccer team receiving asylum in Australia, and slam CNN for its disturbing coverage of the attempted terrorist attack in New York City.

First, they discuss the U.S. intercepting encrypted messages that could be aimed at activating terrorist sleeper cells in this country. This type of threat from Iran has been a concern for a long time, but will this amount to anything? Greg also suggests this would be a good time to fund the Department of Homeland Security.

Next, they celebrate  the Iranian women's soccer team receiving asylum in Australia. The Iranian regime branded them as "wartime traitors: for refusing to sing the Iranian national anthem before a game last week.

Finally, Jim and Greg unload on CNN for posting a sympathetic tweet and story about the two men who attempted a terrorist attack in New York City on Saturday. The suspects have openly identified as radical Islamists inspired by ISIS, raising serious questions about why CNN would frame the story in a way that appears to soften the portrayal of the accused terrorists.

Finally, they unload on CNN for a sympathetic tweet and story about the two terrorists who tried to kill people in New York City on Saturday and have made it clear that they are radical Islamists inspired by ISIS. Why would CNN even consider sanitizing this story to benefit of the defendants?

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.
