3 Martini Lunch – Political Humor & Commentary Is Tim Walz in Big Political Trouble?

Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz facing intense backlash over a massive welfare fraud scandal, California’s latest proof that minimum wage hikes only make things worse, and Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett sounding increasingly like a 2026 U.S. Senate candidate.
First, they’re encouraged to see even the New York Times hammering Gov. Tim Walz for failing to stop hundreds of millions of dollars in public assistance fraud on his watch. It's partly because the evidence is irrefutable, but Jim also says the political handwriting is on the wall for last year's Democratic vice presidential nominee.
They also point to new data showing California’s $20 fast-food minimum wage is playing out exactly as critics predicted. The state lost 19,000 fast-food jobs over the past year while menu prices surged. Jim and Greg explain yet again why this policy cannot work but also question whether Democrats will ever learn.
Finally, they rub their hands with glee as Rep. Jasmine Crockett signals she’s preparing a U.S. Senate run in Texas next year. Jim and Greg look at the likely Democratic field and the potential for a fiery GOP primary too. They're both pretty skeptical that Crockett could win statewide or even keep it fairly close.
