Summary

Join Jim and Greg on 3 Martini Lunch as they delve into the latest government funding battle, troubling revelations about how the Biden administration tried to hide the president's condition, and Donald Trump's lawsuit over a controversial Iowa poll.

First, they analyze the chaotic developments surrounding government funding. While they’re relieved a bloated spending bill was blocked, they question why Speaker Mike Johnson allowed it to get so bad and become public so late in the process. They also highlight why hurricane relief deserved its own bill months ago, the potential consequences of a Christmas-season government shutdown, and how these issues might shape the upcoming Speaker of the House election.

Next, they react to a Wall Street Journal report exposing efforts by the Biden White House to conceal the president's declining faculties from cabinet members, lawmakers, and you. Despite their attempts,Jim and Greg argue Biden's struggles remained glaringly evident to observers.

Finally, they break down Trump's lawsuit against Iowa pollster Ann Selzer. Trump is accusing her of fraud over a late poll showing Kamala Harris ahead by three points in Iowa—a result sharply at odds with Trump's 13-point victory in the state.
