Why World Cup Visitors Are in Awe of the USA

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch! Today, they tackle President Trump saying a deal with Iran is imminent, the hyperbolic venting of longtime CBS reporters over the shakeup at 60 Minutes, foreigners being blown away in awe at the USA as they come for the World Cup, and Pete Buttigieg's weak argument for deciding presidential elections with a national popular vote.First, they react to President Trump calling off intense airstrikes and an invasion of Kharg Island because a peace deal with Iran is imminent. Iran is also releasing it's version of the agreement, which almost assuredly does not resemble the actual negotiations. This is a ruse Tehran has tried before. But are we actually close to a deal?Next, they laugh as longtime CBS reporter and 60 Minutes correspondent Lesley Stahl calls Bari Weiss' shakeup at the network "by far the worst experience I’ve been involved in, or even witnessed." Citing a Washington Free Beacon story, Jim and Greg remind Stahl of some of the far more troubling stories she has done and how dramatic the legacy media get over changes they don't like.Then, they relish the stories of foreigners coming to the U.S. for the World Cup and gushing about how much they love the country, our people, and what we have to offer. It's a good reminder of how good we have it when others see it for the first time.Finally, they pick apart Pete Buttigieg's argument for scrapping the Electoral College for a national popular vote for president. Buttigieg says it would make every state matter. Jim and Greg explain why the Electoral College makes far more sense - including reasons we just witnessed this month.Please visit our great sponsors:OneSkinGet 15% off OneSkin with code 3ML at https://oneskin.co/3MLPocket 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.Fast Growing TreesBetter plants, better growing, and an extra 20% off with code MARTINI at https://FastGrowingTrees.com/Martini for a limited time; terms and conditions may apply.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
