About this episode
Jim and Craig discuss the Virginia Supreme Court's ruling on redistricting, China's military concerns, a controversial Senate candidate, and new UFO footage.
Join Jim and fill-in host Craig Collins for Friday’s 3 Martini Lunch as they break down Virginia’s blockbuster Supreme Court ruling on redistricting, growing concerns that China sees an opening as U.S. missile stockpiles shrink during the Iran conflict, and the bizarre rise of a Senate candidate whose Nazi tattoo controversy somehow seems to be boosting his political profile. First, they dive into the Virginia Supreme Court’s decision to strike down the state’s controversial redistricting referendum, preserving the current congressional map and shutting down Democrats’ attempt to redraw districts mid-decade. Next, they tackle a troubling New York Times report suggesting China believes the U.S. military has weakened itself by burning through key missile stockpiles during the ongoing conflict with Iran. Then, they shake their heads over growing speculation that controversial Maine Senate candidate Graham Plattner — whose Nazi tattoo explanation continues to raise eyebrows — could somehow become a rising star within Democratic politics. Finally, in the chaser, they explore newly released UFO footage and declassified government videos that are reigniting alien speculation online…
