Summary

Undisputed King of Stuff and Sink the Rising Sun author Jon Gabriel fills in for Jim on today's 3 Martini Lunch. Join Jon and Greg as they celebrate the political demise of Andrew Cuomo and shudder at the rise of Zohran Mamdani in New York City. They also focus on ICE taking concerning Iranian illegals into custody, and Nancy Pelosi raking in more millions through very suspicious investments.

First, Jon and Greg react to far-left Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani’s decisive win over disgraced former Governor Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic mayoral primary. They cheer Cuomo’s collapse after scandals involving nursing home COVID deaths, sexual misconduct, and misuse of staff. But they are horrified that Mamdani, an avowed socialist, is now the heavy favorite to become mayor. They chronicle Mamdani's absurd campaign promises, his obvious antipathy towards Israel, and more.

Next, they welcome news that ICE has detained 16 Iranian nationals illegally in the U.S. following the airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites. One of those nabbed is a former member of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps who admits connections to Hezbollah. Another was a sniper in the Iranian army. Jon says this is good work by Homeland Security to muzzle a threat before it starts.

Finally, they dig into Nancy Pelosi’s latest round of highly suspicious stock trades. The former House Speaker and her husband dumped shares in two major companies just before both were hit with federal investigations. While Pelosi isn’t alone in ethically questionable investing, Jon argues she perfectly embodies why the American people do not trust their government.

1:23.6	Turns out the ranked choice nonsense did not actually play a factor here.
1:28.3	Even though Zoran Mamdani did not get to 50% in the first round, it's pretty clear he's going to get there.
