Summary

Join Jim and Greg for Friday’s 3 Martini Lunch as they dissect Chuck Schumer’s dramatic flip-flop on immigration, Trump’s latest tariff threats against Apple and the European Union, and Andrew Cuomo’s surprising critique of the far left in his bid to run New York City.

First, they highlight Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer's complete reversal from his previous position on illegal immigration. Recently, Schumer said he wants to see all illegals become citizens. In 2009, he blasted illegal immigration, said we need to stop it, and even insisted on calling them illegal aliens instead of undocumented workers. It's clear proof that the far left wing of the Democrats is driving the party.

Next, they brace for impact as President Trump calls for a 50 percent tariff on products from the European Union and a 25 percent tariff on Apple for iPhones sold in the U.S. that are not made here. Jim notes the volatility such proposals inject into the markets, warning that economic uncertainty from abrupt policy changes could have serious consequences.

Finally, they find themselves in the strange position of agreeing with Andrew Cuomo about the far left leading deep blue areas into disastrous policies and consequences. His shift comes as the biggest threats to Cuomo in the NYC mayoral primary come from his political left. But can Cuomo really make this argument with any credibility after how he ran the state for more than a decade?

0:12.9

So glad you're with us for the Friday edition of the three martini lunch.

0:16.6

Again, a lot to talk about today.

0:18.5

We'll be taking a look at some market volatility as the result of some new promised tariff policies from the president. We'll talk about an allegedly new and better perspective on governance from Andrew Cuomo, but I'm not sure we're buying it yet. And Jim, our first martini is so bad and crazy.

0:38.3

It's probably good, actually.

0:40.3

So when you look at the way that the Democrats are approaching these issues

0:44.3

where they're completely on the other side from three-quarters or more of the American people,

0:51.3

it's just fascinating.

0:52.3

But sometimes they actually end up debating with

0:55.8

themselves. And that's what we have today. Chuck Schumer out there standing up for the illegals.

1:02.1

He certainly won't call them illegal aliens, at least not in 2025. But Chuck Schumer admitting

1:07.6

yesterday, saying the quiet part out loud that he wants all illegals in this

country eventually to become citizens. Now more than ever, we're short of workers. We have a population

1:19.6

that is not reproducing it on its own with the same level that it used to. The only way we're

1:26.6

going to have a great future in America

1:28.1

is if we welcome and embrace immigrants, the dreamers, and all of them, because our ultimate

1:33.2

goal is to help the dreamers but get a path to citizenship for all 11 million or however

1:38.3

many undocumented there are here.

1:41.4

It's a lot more than 11 million.

1:43.4

Be lucky if it's under 11 million just in the Biden administration.
