Supreme Court Shoots Down Trump’s Tariffs

Supreme Court Shoots Down Trump’s Tariffs

Author: Jim Geraghty & Greg Corombos – Political Humor Commentary February 20, 2026 Duration: 29:16
Inez Stepman of the independent Women's Forum is in for Jim today. Join Inez and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they as they break down the media’s contrasting coverage of American Alysa Liu and American-born Olympian Eileen Gu competing under the Chinese flag, react to the Supreme Court’s ruling on President Donald Trump’s tariffs, and highlight how price controls for groceries is now mainstream policy for Democrats.

First, they share the powerful backstory of Alysa Liu, whose father fled Communist China after the Tiananmen Square crackdown and later resisted Chinese Communist Party efforts to monitor the family and pressure them to return. Inez says it also highlights what should be a key factor in deciding who should be allowed to enter this country.

Next, they assess the Supreme Court’s decision limiting President Donald Trump’s ability to impose tariffs under emergency powers. Inez points out that the overarching ruling leaves the power to tax with the legislative branch but that the raft of concurring opinions shows the court is deeply divided beyond that. 

Finally, they shake their heads as mainstream Democrats are now following Zohran Mamdani's lead and calling for price controls on groceries. There's no chance this ends well, but Inez reminds us that this was the Democrats' approach for decades before briefly moving away from it.

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.
