Trump's Strong Polls, Trump's Concerning Labor Nominee, Super Bowl Spectacle

Join Jim and Greg for 3 Martini Lunch as they analyze strong CBS poll numbers for President Trump, his controversial Labor Secretary pick, and their thoughts on Super Bowl LIX.

First, they react to President Trump's positive poll numbers just three weeks into his term. Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan appeared less than pleased to report Trump's 53% approval rating and that 70% of Americans believe he's keeping his promises. They discuss how future polling will depend on Trump's handling of unexpected events and argue that the media's relentless negativity isn't swaying public opinion much at all.

Next, they examine the push to derail Trump's Labor Secretary pick, former Oregon Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer. The National Right to Work Committee warns that she backs the PRO Act, which would ban the right to work without union membership and severely impact freelancers. They also question whether this nomination is a reward for some labor unions refusing Kamala Harris or whether Trump is shifting his stance on labor policy. But in all honesty, blocking this nomination will be very difficult.

Finally, they break down Super Bowl LIX—from the Philadelphia Eagles' dominant win over the Kansas City Chiefs to commercials. Plus, Jim explains the not-so-subtle messaging inside Kendrick Lamar's halftime show while Greg wishes there wasn't a halftime show at all.
