Summary

Join Jim and Greg on 3 Martini Lunch as they focus on a new Michigan poll suggesting Republicans have the edge in the 2026 Senate race, the Dems' hysterical focus on Elon Musk and DOGE, and the White House barring the Associated Press from an Oval Office gathering because it won't acknowledge the Gulf of America,

First, Jim and Greg analyze a very early poll showing Republican Mike Rogers leading Pete Buttigieg in a hypothetical U.S. Senate matchup. Could the GOP win a Senate seat in Michigan for the first time in more than 30 years? They also discuss the weak fundraising numbers from New Hampshire Senator Jeanne Shaheen and debate whether New Hampshire might present a valuable GOP pickup opportunity in the 2026 elections.

Next, Jim and Greg dive into the Democrats’ exaggerated outrage over "unelected bureaucrats" making decisions within the executive branch, particularly regarding the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Democrats have long used the administrative state to push their policies, yet they now criticize the same system they’ve relied on.. However, they do encourage Elon Musk and his team to be more transparent about what they are finding so the American people can see it all.

Finally, Jim and Greg react to the ongoing spat between the White House and the Associated Press (AP) over press access to the Oval Office. The White House allegedly blocked the AP from a pool of reporters during an Oval Office event because the wire service refuses to use “Gulf of America” instead of the preferred “Gulf of Mexico.”
