Summary

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they dig into the Democrats’ hilariously bad messaging on the government shutdown, China’s chilling fusion of AI and genetic engineering, and Jon Stewart’s absurd comparison of Zohran Mamdani to Jackie Robinson.

First, they marvel at how Democrats proudly admit to causing real pain for Americans in an attempt to gain political leverage in the shutdown fight. It's a cold, heartless message but Democrats are more than welcome to keep using it.

Next, Jim shares insights from Bill Drexel of the Hudson Institute, who joined Jim on the recent trip to India. Drexel reports that China is combining artificial intelligence with genetic engineering in pursuit of future generations with no flaws and who will be superior soldiers. Jim also explains how the ethical nightmare surrounding this plan won't even matter to Xi Xinping and the Chinese Communist Party.

Finally, they roll their eyes as Jon Stewart of The Daily Show fawns over Democrat New York City mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani and compares him to legendary baseball player Jackie Robinson. Jim and Greg document how the Democrats have shifted from running away from Mamdani to a full embrace once they sensed he could win.

0:00.0	Welcome to the three martini lunch.
0:04.9	Grab a stool next to Greg Carumbus of Radio America and Jim Garrity of National Review.
0:10.6	Three martini's coming up.
0:13.3	So glad you're with us for the Wednesday edition of the three martini lunch.
0:17.7	And Jim, we're going to be talking a little bit more about Zoran Mamdani,
0:24.1	but he's not really the focus of our crazy martini today.
0:32.3	John Stewart, oh my word, what he said about Mamdani, if you haven't already seen or heard it, just absolutely ridiculous.
0:42.3	We're also going to be taking a close look at one of the things Jim wrote about today in the morning jolt, and we're not really hearing it anywhere else. And that is some pretty sobering news about the different technologies that China is merging right now. And it's not for the betterment of the United States,
0:47.7	I'm pretty sure. But first, Jim, we're going to go back to the government shutdown. Nothing's
0:52.2	changed since yesterday's news. I think there was
0:55.6	another vote, but still the Democrats aren't helping Republicans get to 60 in the Senate. And so we
1:01.2	kind of go through this groundhog day every day until the pressure just becomes too great. But one of
1:06.6	the things we've seen now in the last week is democratic messaging that stinks, but they keep using it,
1:14.3	particularly the word leverage. I don't know what consultant told me used the word leverage.
1:18.7	It really doesn't come across as very compassionate when they use it. But hey, it's blowing up in your
1:24.5	face, I think, so keep using it. But here's kind of how this started last Wednesday when the House Minority Whip,
1:31.4	the House Democratic Whip, Catherine Clark of Massachusetts,
1:34.9	basically started this all off by saying, yeah, yeah, people are going to be dealing with a lot of pain,
1:39.5	but, you know, we got to do what we got to do.
1:41.3	I mean, shutdowns are terrible.
1:42.9	And of course, there will be, you know, families that are going to suffer.
1:49.3	We take that responsibility very seriously.
