Summary

Join Jim and Greg for three good martinis on 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss President Trump’s approval of the F-47 fighter jet, the future political ambitions of the DeSantis family, and mounting evidence that Democrats have alienated young men in a historic way. Plus, they make a somber champagne toast to the late former Utah Rep. Mia Love.

First, they welcome Trump’s approval of the F-47, a cutting-edge, sixth-generation stealth fighter capable of reaching Mach 2. This decision underscores the administration’s focus on military readiness and warfighting capabilities. Jim also explains how this decision impacts the growing debate about whether manned fighters are needed in the age of drones.

Next, Jim shares insights from the National Review Institute’s Ideas Summit, where he interviewed Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp and hosted a discussion with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and his wife, Casey. Rumors are swirling that Casey DeSantis is considering a 2026 gubernatorial run, and Jim explains why there's a very good chance Mrs. DeSantis will jump in the race. He also notes the surprising ways she would be different than her husband as governor.

Then, they analyze fresh evidence that Gen Z men are shifting right, possibly in a huge, permanent way. Jim explores why this realignment doesn’t surprise him, pointing to how the left’s approach to education has driven young men toward conservatism. While time will tell, current data suggests this could be the most dramatic political shift among a generation in modern history.

Finally, they raise a champagne toast to former Utah Rep. Mia Love, who passed away from brain cancer. She was just 49 years old. Greg shares excerpts from a recent column Love wrote about the America she cherished, while Jim reflects on her time in Congress and the political future she might have had until cancer robbed her of it.

0:13.4	Very glad you are with us for the Monday edition of the Three Martini Lunch.
0:17.5	Jim Garrity is back.
0:18.7	He is brimming full of ideas, some of which he probably brought
0:22.0	to the summit and others which he picked up there. We'll talk about that a little bit later in the
0:25.8	podcast today. We'll also have a champagne toast at a tragically young age, Mia Love, the former
0:31.9	congresswoman from Utah. We'll talk about that towards the end of the podcast. We'll also
0:36.3	expand a little bit on what John Gabriel and I were talking about, about how the youth vote, and particularly young men, not turning out how the Democrats wanted.
0:43.6	And that's a big, big, big opportunity for Republicans moving forward.
0:47.2	But we start with the first of our three good martinis.
0:51.2	And that is something that happened in the Oval Office where President Trump,
0:55.0	with Defense Secretary Pete Hegsef, announcing the full green light on the F-47. And no, that number
1:01.7	is not an accident. I'm sure it's related to the fact that Trump is the 47th president. But when
1:06.1	you find out what this fighter plane can do, it's really cool. The F-47 will be the most advanced, most capable, most lethal aircraft ever built.
1:16.3	An experimental version of the plane has secretly been flying for almost five years, and we're
1:22.0	confident that it massively overpowers the capabilities of any other nation. There's no other nation. We know every other plane.
1:29.4	I've seen every one of them, and it's not even close. This is at next level. You know, level five is
1:36.1	good. This is level six, they say. The F-47 is equipped with state-of-the-art stealth technology.
1:42.5	It's virtually unseeable and unprecedented power.
1:48.0	It's got the most power of any jet of its kind ever made.
