3 Martini Lunch Radio America

Today, Jim rejoins Greg, and has a wild moose story to tell from his trip to Alaska. Then they discuss the latest updates indicating that Gaza is not in danger of starvation, Rep. Jamaal Bowman's ridiculous reasoning for why he lost his primary, and their predictions about the tonight's presidential debate.

First, they are pleased to see a revised report confirming that Gaza is not under threat of starvation. They hope this is a lesson to news agencies not to take Palestinian reports about damage to their civilians at face value, since they have been known to wildly exaggerate such reports.

Next, they facepalm as Rep. Jamaal Bowman blames dark money super PACs for his defeat, accusing them of trying to "brainwash" voters. Jim jabs that Bowman is the dumbest member of the squad, and set himself up for a failure of this magnitude.

Finally, they offer up their predictions for the presidential debate tonight, weighing the different factors that play in the favor of each candidate. Jim speculates that the debate has been overhyped, and that, barring a dramatic turn of events, it will not move the needle for voters very much.

Today, Undisputed King of Stuff and Discourse Magazine & Arizona Republic contributor Jon Gabriel is in for Jim today. Jon and Greg discuss the mighty fall of New York Rep. Jamaal Bowman, the Supreme Court's decision in favor of the Biden administration on social media censorship, and Wisconsin Sen. Tammy Baldwin's bizarre attack ad on challenger Eric Hovde.

First, they applaud the voters of New York's 16th congressional district for their round rejection of Rep. Jamaal Bowman's re-election bid, as he lost by a gaping 17-point margin. They remark that it is delicious to see Bowman get his just desserts for his childish fire alarm stunt and, more importantly, for his vile anti-Semitic rhetoric.

Next, they lament the Supreme Court's disappointing decision on Murthy v. Missouri, which challenged the federal government's role in social media censorship. The court decided in favor of the Biden administration, ruling that the plaintiffs did not have sufficient standing.

Finally, they attempt to make sense of Wisconsin Sen. Tammy Baldwin's illogical attack ad on likely GOP opponent Eric Hovde because of his support for higher insurance rates when one is obese. Jon and Greg point out that everyone with significant health risks faces higher insurance premiums, and there is no logical reason to make obesity an exception.

Former Chief Assistant U.S. Attorney and National Review Contributing Editor Andy McCarthy is in for Jim. Join Andy and Greg as they discuss the Supreme Court's latest Second Amendment ruling, the final chapter of the Julian Assange legal saga, and President Biden's latest fatuous message to the American public.

First, they dissect the Supreme Court's 8-1 ruling that the state can bar people with domestic violence restraining orders against them from owning a gun. Andy is pleased to see the courts grappling with how to apply clear Constitutional precedents to the modern world.

Next, they dive into Julian Assange's upcoming plea bargain on criminal information charges. Andy and Greg agree that Assange is no hero, but Andy also points out that Assange was never charged for the dissemination of allegedly hacked DNC emails in 2016 - largely because it could never be proved how those emails were obtained. And those facts further put the lie to Russian collusion allegations.

Finally, they roll their eyes at President Biden's ridiculous appeal to the American public, as he says that we know who Donald Trump is, and must now decide who we are. They point out that Biden is running a campaign on January 6 and abortion, due to the utter failure of his administration.

Former Chief Assistant U.S. Attorney and National Review Contributing Editor Andy McCarthy is in for Jim. Join Andy and Greg as they discuss the constitutional problem with attorney Jack Smith's appointment to be special counsel on the Trump cases, the dangers in the U.S. and beyond stemming from radical interpretations of sharia law, and Donald Trump's crazy proposal to grant green cards to all foreign graduates of U.S. colleges.

First, Andy walks through the legal and political problems surrounding ack Smith's appointment to special counsel in the Trump cases concerning classified documents and January 6. Such appointments must either be made by the president or permitted by statute, neither of which is the case in this instance. Andy also points to the inconsistency in Smith's claim that he is closely supervised by Attorney General Merrick Garland and AG Garland's claim that he does not interfere with Smith's activities.

Next, they walk through the perils that radical proponents of Sharia law pose to the western world, from virulent anti-Semitism to the Taliban pushing to keep Afghan women off of the UN council on Afghanistan. Andy hammers home that radical sharia law is antithetical to Western values and to democracy, and that we must recognize this reality, not gloss over it.

Finally, they raise their eyebrows at Donald Trump's radical proposal to grant green cards to all foreign college graduates. Andy and Greg emphasize the importance of dealing with the border crisis before making plans to grant foreign nationals a right to remain in the country.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour Host Scot Bertram is in for Jim. Join Scot and Greg as they discuss Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg's dropping charges against most of the Columbia students arrested to taking over a campus building, the latest delusional narratives from anti-school choice leftists, and Good Morning America's bizarre campaign against paper towels.

There are no good martinis today, so Scot and Greg start by tearing into Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg for giving the Columbia students who occupied a building (and held a custodian hostage) a free pass on the grounds that the university would handle their discipline internally and that there somehow wasn't sufficient evidence to charge them. They point out the glaring double standard in how Bragg treats individuals who line up with his political preferences.

They next raise a double-fisted bad martini to the unhinged anti-school choice rhetoric that leftists are pushing, starting with Chicago Teachers Union President Stacy Gates claiming that conservatives want black children to stay illiterate. They then delve into Scientific American's push for greater federal regulation of homeschooling, specifically parents, and why it makes no sense.

Finally, they puzzle over "Good Morning America's" stunning and brave stand against paper towels as it offers various (ineffective) alternatives to viewers. Scot notes that the point of these useless alternatives is really to feel better about yourself, not to get anything done.

UnHerd DC Correspondent and Breaking Points co-host Emily Jashinsky is in for Jim. Today, Emily and Greg discuss former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's brilliant defense of school choice, the Justice Department' persecution of Dr. Eithan Haim for blowing the whistle on sex-change surgeries happening on minors in Texas Children's Hospital, and the sky-high national deficit that continues to mount.

First, they applaud Condoleezza Rice's incisive criticism of the left's hypocrisy when it opposes school choice. Rice aptly observes that elites who oppose school choice often send their own children to expensive public schools.

Next, they examine the chilling reality that Dr. Eithan Haim exposed at Texas Children's Hospital: minors are being given sex-change surgeries, though the hospital previously claimed that this was not happening. Emily and Greg tear into the DOJ's obvious political targeting of Dr. Haim, alleging HIPAA violations though Dr. Haim took every care not to reveal the identity of patients.

Finally, they toast a double-fisted crazy martini to the $24 trillion deficit that the government will run over the next decade, thanks to out-of-control and ineffective spending. They also consider the steep interest  payments on the debt that taxpayers will face in the coming years.
