Summary
First, they slam Mayor Mamdani for being dangerously vague about the two explosive devices that two counter-protesters tried to detonate there at an alleged white supremacist event in NYC on Saturday. The two alleged terrorists gave multiple indications that they were motivated by Islamist ideology. Mamdani clearly trying to obscure the facts is very disturbing sign.
Next, they sigh as Democrats pour tens of millions of dollars into a referendum aimed at redrawing Virginia’s congressional map. The proposal relies on heavily contorted districts to achieve that outcome. Meanwhile, major national Republican organizations appear largely absent from the fight, prompting Jim and Greg to ask why the GOP is standing aside during this battle.
Finally, they applaud Jesse Jackson Jr. for calling out Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden for delivering lengthy political speeches at the funeral of his father, civil rights leader Jesse Jackson Sr. Jim and Greg specifically highlight the hypocrisy of Obama, who always claims to pursue unity but gets divisive at every possible opportunity.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the three martini lunch. |
| 0:04.9 | Grab a stool next to Greg Corumbus of Radio America and Jim Garrity of National Review. |
| 0:10.6 | Three martini's coming up. |
| 0:13.0 | Hey, really glad you're with us for the Monday edition of the three martini lunch. |
| 0:16.7 | So much to get to today, including Iran, including what's happening with the redistricting fight in Virginia, |
| 0:22.8 | including Jesse Jackson's son rebuking the three presidents who spoke at that very long funeral on Friday. |
| 0:31.0 | But Jim, we start in New York City. |
| 0:33.0 | It was already a pretty lousy week for Mayor Zoran Mamdani. |
| 0:38.1 | His wife was under fire for liking a bunch of posts that were pretty positive towards the 10-7 Hamas attacks against Israel. |
| 0:45.4 | He tried to dismiss it by saying the First Lady of New York City is not a public figure. |
| 0:50.2 | But now there's another story that has erupted over the weekend, which has Mamdani obviously playing favorites here and not in a way that is going to make New York City safer. |
| 0:59.9 | So there was this protest over the weekend led by this guy named Jake Lang. |
| 1:05.1 | Mbani describes him as a white supremacist. |
| 1:07.1 | I don't know who Jake Lang is, whether he's a white supremacist or not. |
| 1:10.2 | He organized this protest outside of Gracie Mansion. And then there was a counter protest to this guy who was apparently driving around basically in a U-Haul truck with a bullhorn, which is obviously annoying. But anyway, these people show up and an IED shows up here. And so it did not go off, but it was lit. It was deployed. And there's a |
| 1:31.0 | whole lot to talk about here. First of all, Mumdani's tweet, a lot of detail on the guy in the |
| 1:35.5 | original protest, not a lot of detail on the people responsible for trying to kill a bunch of |
| 1:40.1 | people. He says, this is yesterday. Yesterday, meaning Saturday, white supremacist Jake Lang, |
| 1:44.9 | organized a protest outside Gracie Mansion, rooted in bigotry and racism. Such hate has no |
| 1:50.6 | place in New York City. It is an affront to our city's values and the unity that defines who we are. |
| 1:55.2 | What followed was even more disturbing. Violence at a protest is never acceptable. The attempt |
| 2:00.3 | to use an explosive device and hurt |
