Betting on the Future When You Know the Future is Easy Money

from 3 Martini Lunch – Political Humor & Commentary · host Jim Geraghty & Greg Corombos – Political Humor Commentary

(00:00:00) U.S. Navy Intercepts Iranian Vessel (00:05:38) A Bailout for Spirit Airlines? (00:10:27) Betting on the future when you know the future Craig Collins remains in for Greg Corombus Friday, and Craig and Jim start by noting the U.S. Navy’s success in capturing Iranian-flagged ships trying to run the blockade on Iran’s ports – while noting that the growing size of the “ghost fleet” in the past decade or so is a scandal.Speaking of ghosts, the Trump administration is attempting to resurrect the bankrupt Spirit Airlines, in a move unpleasantly reminiscent of the federal government’s bailout of General Motors.In the crazy martini, Craig and Jim have mixed feelings about the special operations soldier who was involved in the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro who allegedly made more than $400,000 by betting on Maduro’s removal from office. Is this what they mean when they say to bet on yourself?Finally, a New York Giants fan and a New York Jets fan watch the first round of this year’s NFL Draft and come away… happy!Please visit our great sponsors:QuoMake this the season where no opportunity or customer slips away with Quo.
