Summary

Join Jim and Greg on 3 Martini Lunch as they actually find a couple of good martinis today! They break down why voters still deeply distrust Democrats, assess the fallout from Monday’s market selloff, and examine the Pentagon cutting some very questionable projects.

First, they dive into a revealing poll from the Democrats’ own data, showing that a strong majority of Americans believe the left doesn’t care about them, disrespects hard work, and is overly obsessed with political correctness. With the 2026 midterms approaching, Democrats face a steep uphill battle to regain voter trust.

Next, they analyze the sharp declines in the Dow Jones, NASDAQ, and S&P 500 on Monday. Even more concerning, experts warn that continued selling could be ahead due to uncertainty over tariffs and recession fears. With wildly varying economic forecasts, Jim and Greg discuss what this could mean in the coming months.

Finally, they shake their heads—and share a few laughs—at the 91 Pentagon programs just slashed by the Defense Department. From climate change to time itself, the bizarre and often absurd project names highlight just how much waste was lurking in the budget.

0:28.2	We've obviously got our bad martini.
0:30.4	If you own stock, you already know what we're talking about there.
0:33.5	And in terms of our crazy martini, there is some waist cutting that's happened at the Pentagon,
0:39.2	and let's just say some of it is definitely warranted.
0:42.3	So there's that.
0:43.7	And then, of course, there's free agency real quick.
0:46.9	You know, the Bears beefed up their defensive line with two big pickups yesterday and also a new center.
0:52.8	And given the trades they've already done.
0:54.4	They're focused on the trenches, which is good. Former Bears quarterback Justin Fields is now

1:06.2	I feel like he's a little bit better than what most people think, but I don't know that he's
1:10.7	the answer.
1:11.9	The roller coaster continues for the Jets at Cuba.
1:14.7	You know, Greg, there was a time when the likes of Thomas Jones and Brandon Marshall,
