Shut Out by the GOP: Why Tucker, Candace, & Fuentes are Pivoting

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down a huge win for the GOP already in 2026, the Republicans' efforts to flip Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman, and the Pentagon’s response to bizarre claims about Iran’s military capabilities in the Persian Gulf.First, as they watch odious figures like Nick Fuentes embrace the Democrats again and seek to "burn down the whole (Republican) party in 2028," it's a sign that the GOP is largely slamming the door in the face of these extremists. Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens are also noticeably drifting leftward. Jim and Greg are plenty glad to witness this addition by subtraction.Next, they consider the effort by two Republican senators to woo Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman to join the GOP. He says that won't happen. Jim and Greg point out that Fetterman really only bucks the Democrats on a couple of issues but that's enough to make him a pariah on the left. They also consider Fetterman's options as he considers re-election in 2028.Then they get a good laugh as Sec. Pete Hegseth and Gen. Dan Caine reassure Americans that Iran does not have "kamikaze dolphins" as weapons in the Persian Gulf. They also consider where the war stands four weeks into this cease-fire.Finally, Jim and Greg preview what the next couple of weeks will look like on the 3 Martini Lunch.Please visit our great sponsors:Pocket HoseFor a limited time, get two free gifts—a 360° rotating pocket pivot and a thumb drive nozzle—when you buy the Pocket Hose Ballistic; just text MARTINI to 64000, message and data rates may apply.ZocDocStop putting off those doctors’ appointments and visit https://Zocdoc.com/3ML to find and instantly book a top rated doctor today.CalotrenIf you’re looking for the missing piece-Calotren is it.
