Summary
First, they enjoy watching Sen. Warren encouraging Democrats nationwide to embrace the Mamdani agenda of free buses, free childcare, and rent control. If Democrats in competitive races want to openly run on socialism, Warren may be handing Republicans a major political gift.
Next, they react to the Department of Labor Inspector General investigating allegations that Secretary Chavez-DeRemer had staff disguise personal travel as official business so taxpayers would cover the costs. And there are other serious concerns about her personal conduct.
Finally, they’re stunned as DNC Chair Ken Martin not only conflates anti-ICE protesters in Minneapolis with demonstrators risking their lives in Iran, but also tries to draw parallels between the two governments. It's further evidence the Democrats are increasingly divorced from reality.

| 0:13.0 | Hey, so glad you're with us for the Tuesday edition of the three martini lunch. |
| 0:17.4 | Grab a stool. |
| 0:18.1 | A lot to get to today, as always. |
| 0:19.9 | We'll have the chairman of the Democratic National Committee comparing the protests in Iran to the protests in Minnesota. |
| 0:26.5 | So buckle up for that one. |
| 0:27.7 | I know Jim Gertie will have more than a little bit to say about that one. |
| 0:30.6 | We'll also be talking about an inspector general's investigation focusing on the Secretary of Labor, Lori Chavez-Durreemer, and the allegations are not good. So we'll see where this goes, but we'll talk about that to some extent. And Elizabeth Warren wants the Democrats to follow Zoran Mamdani's lead nationwide on a whole bunch of free stuff. So, Jim, I know you're just chopping at the bit. There's a lot of good stuff to chew on here. |
| 0:54.7 | The first one, I'm like, I can't believe that we can't be this lucky. This can't be actually how they're going to go through with this. But we'll see how it goes. All right. Well, let's talk first of all about Brooklyn Bedding. Mrs. Germis and I got the brand new mattress from Brooklyn betting back in August. And as soon as we laid down on it, just within the first few seconds, |

| 1:25.1 | tons of variety at Brooklyn Bedding. |
| 1:29.6 | We have the Aurora Lux cooling mattress. |
| 1:30.9 | We're both thrilled with it. |
| 1:36.4 | And as I joked to her yesterday, this mattress is the best edition I've made to my bed since Mrs. Corumbus after we got married. |
| 1:40.6 | Brooklyn Bedding handcrafts every mattress in their Arizona factory. |
| 1:44.7 | So there's no middlemen, no gimmicks, and no, your mattress will not have a Brooklyn accent. |
