Summary

Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down CBS reportedly bringing in Bari Weiss to have a huge role, Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine not knowing where our most basic rights come from, and reports that President Trump may try to narrow the field in the New York City mayor's race.

First, they react to Paramount/CBS reportedly being on the verge of buying The Free Press for $100-$200 million and giving Free Press founder Bari Weiss a major role in news coverage. Weiss is most definitely not a conservative, but hiring a liberal who is not insane passes for somewhat refreshing in the media these days.

Next, Sen. Kaine embarrasses himself and the Commonwealth of Virginia by claiming our rights come from the laws and the government and not from our Creator. A much more famous Virginian would beg to differ. And Jim has some other helpful tips for Sen. Kaine as well.

Finally, they react to a New York Times report suggesting Trump administration officials may offer jobs to Curtis Sliwa and Mayor Eric Adams in an attempt to derail Zohran Mamdani in the New York City mayor's race. Jim and Greg don't see either candidate (especially Sliwa) taking such an offer and they don't think it would stop Mamdani either. Jim suggests a counterintuitive strategy if Trump really wants to shake things up.
