Mass Shooting Nightmare in Michigan

Join Jim and Greg for the Monday edition of the 3 Martini Lunch as they break down the mass shooting and arson at an LDS church in Michigan, the looming federal government shutdown, and New York City Mayor Eric Adams abruptly ending his re-election campaign.

First, they react to the shocking violence at an LDS church in Grand Blanc, Michigan, where four people and the shooter are dead following a mass shooting and arson attack on Sunday. Jim and Greg explain what information is confirmed at this point and which questions remain unanswered. They also discuss the debate over red flag laws.

Next, they hear the ticking of the clock as a partial federal government shutdown looms at the end of Tuesday unless a spending deal is in place. Republicans have far more leverage and a far more coherent argument. The GOP is calling for a mostly clean extension of existing funding while Democrats want to spend an additional $1.5 trillion. And a lot of that extra money would be spent on health care for illegal aliens.

Finally, they get a good laugh as New York City Mayor Eric Adams end his bid for a second term. He was consistently polling in fourth place. The decision is especially bizarre since Adams called a press conference a few weeks ago to insist he would not drop out of the race. Will this decision have much of an impact on the campaign?
