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

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down President Trump’s search for the source of a sensitive Iran rescue leak, the staggering new funding demands for California’s troubled high-speed rail project, and explosive allegations surrounding Rep. Eric Swalwell’s gubernatorial run.First, they fully support President Trump's frustration with someone leaking critically important and sensitive information during the mission to rescue two American aviators from Iran. But they also caution that trying to figure it out by targeting media who reported the leaks is likely to end in more frustration.Next, they shake their heads in disbelief as officials in California insist $126 billion will finish the high speed rail project that is already way over budget and hopelessly behind schedule. Jim and Greg explain why this project has been such a mess and react to those with the gall to ask for even more taxpayer money.Then, they examine allegations from a left-wing attorney claiming Eric Swalwell engaged in inappropriate relationships with multiple interns and required non-disclosure agreements. If some of these women go public, what will be the impact on Swalwell? Jim and Greg also react to President Trump endorsing Steve Hilton in the California governor's race.Finally, Greg celebrates the University of Michigan winning the NCAA basketball title.Please visit our great sponsors:Stop putting off those doctors’ appointments and visit https://Zocdoc.com/3ML to find and instantly book a top-rated doctor today.New episodes every weekday. 👉 Subscribe to the show so you never miss a moment.Follow us for more daily clips, updates, and commentary:FacebookInstagramYoutubeOther InfoWebsite

The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien Audiobook Raghvendra Singh The journey through Middle-earth begins here with J.R.R. Tolkien's classic prelude to his Lord of the Rings trilogy.“A glorious account of a magnificent adventure, filled with suspense and seasoned with a quiet humor that is irresistible... All those, young or old, who love a fine adventurous tale, beautifully told, will take The Hobbit to their hearts.”—The New York Times Book Review"In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit." So begins one of the most beloved and delightful tales in the English language—Tolkien's prelude to The Lord of the Rings. Set in the imaginary world of Middle-earth, at once a classic myth and a modern fairy tale, The Hobbit is one of literature's most enduring and well-loved novels.Bilbo Baggins is a hobbit who enjoys a comfortable, unambitious life, rarely traveling any farther than his pantry or cellar. But his contentment is disturbed when the wizard Gandalf and a company of dwarves arrive on his doorstep one day to whisk him away
