Zarutska Killer Found Not Competent to Stand Trial

Zarutska Killer Found Not Competent to Stand Trial

Author: Jim Geraghty & Greg Corombos – Political Humor Commentary April 9, 2026 Duration: 29:26
Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down how the Charlotte train murderer may escape true justice, the Justice Department’s crackdown on a military leaker, and why Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger is already facing sinking approval numbers. Plus, MSNOW's Lawrence O'Donnell delivers a head-scratching reaction to the Iran rescue mission.

First, they vent after DeCarlos Brown, who stabbed Iryna Zarutska to death on a Charlotte, North Carolina, 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 applaud the FBI and Justice Department for charging a former United States Special Operations Command employee at Ft. Bragg, North Carolina, over the alleged leak of “top secret” classified intelligence tied to a highly sensitive military unit.

Then, they help Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger understand the reasons why her political honeymoon is over and why her approval numbers are already south of 50 percent.

Finally, 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.

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.
