Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they weigh in on New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani being deliberately vague about who attempted a terrorist attack in the city over the weekend, national Republicans failing to counter Democrats’ aggressive gerrymandering push in Virginia, and Jesse Jackson Jr. rebuking three former presidents for turning his father’s funeral into a political stage.
First, they slam Mayor Mamdani for being dangerously vague about the two explosive devices that two counter-protesters tried to detonate there at an alleged white supremacist event in NYC on Saturday. The two alleged terrorists gave multiple indications that they were motivated by Islamist ideology. Mamdani clearly trying to obscure the facts is very disturbing sign.
Next, they sigh as Democrats pour tens of millions of dollars into a referendum aimed at redrawing Virginia’s congressional map. The proposal relies on heavily contorted districts to achieve that outcome. Meanwhile, major national Republican organizations appear largely absent from the fight, prompting Jim and Greg to ask why the GOP is standing aside during this battle.
Finally, they applaud Jesse Jackson Jr. for calling out Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden for delivering lengthy political speeches at the funeral of his father, civil rights leader Jesse Jackson Sr. Jim and Greg specifically highlight the hypocrisy of Obama, who always claims to pursue unity but gets divisive at every possible opportunity.
