LA Mayor Karen Bass Wants to 'Explore' Non-Citizen Voting

LA Mayor Karen Bass Wants to 'Explore' Non-Citizen Voting

Author: Jim Geraghty & Greg Corombos – Political Humor Commentary May 21, 2026 Duration: 33:11
Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour host Scot Bertram fills in for Jim Geraghty on Thursday’s 3 Martini Lunch. Join Scot and Greg as they discuss Amazon founder Jeff Bezos delivering a dose of economic reality to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass wanting to "explore" non-citizen voting, tthe end of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and Congress once again trying to wreak havoc with our clocks.

First, they welcome Jeff Bezos explaining why Amazon is far more competent and efficient than the government, and why Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is clueless when she says no one can earn a billion dollars honestly.

Next, they chronicle Karen Bass saying she is willing to explore non-citizen voting in LA. Scot explains how the left's arguments about citizenship are wildly inconsistent. Greg believes the Democrats' goals on this issue are crystal clear.

Then, as CBS prepares to air the final episode of The Late Show tonight, Scot explains how Stephen Colbert not only ruined the show but the entire genre of late night television. Greg reminds us why CBS is really pulling the plug, no matter how much Colbert wants to portray himself as a martyr.  

Finally, they groan as the House of Representatives once again considers legislation to make Daylight Saving Time permanent. Scot and Greg explain why this is a terrible idea, what the better permanent time would be, and what the best approach to our clocks really is.

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.
