Twenty-Five Years Later: 9/11, Afghanistan, and What We Tell Our Kids

Welcome to Last Call, a look at the biggest stories Jim and Greg covered over the past week on the 3 Martini Lunch.This week, they discuss AI whistleblowers warning that the technology could kill all of us within a decade, Abdul El-Sayed saying your kids should be "our kids," James Talarico being very slippery with the truth, and Democratic Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman participating in the GOP midterm convention.First, they react to a former Anthropic employee saying Anthropic and OpenAI are not operating responsibly, that AI will soon be beyond their control, and that it will kill all of us within the next decade. Jim and Greg don't think humanity will be wiped out over the next 10 years but they are bothered by tech company leaders who don't seem to care if they lose control of this technology.Then, they rip Michigan Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed for saying "If I had one political philosophy it’s that I want us to build what we would build if we took seriously the idea that all of our kids were all of our kids." And of course he's using kids to further his radical, big government agenda.Next, they highlight the slick lying of Texas Democratic U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico. Now that he's running statewide, Talarico claims to have been a vocal critic of Pres. Biden's border policies at the time. But his argument implodes once it faces the truth.Finally, they discuss Sen. Fetterman taking part in the GOP midterm convention. Jim points out that Fetterman is hated on the left and too liberal for the right. So will Fetterman run for re-election and what will that look like?Please visit our great sponsors:ZocDocYour health matters and taking care of yourself shouldn’t be complicated.

Jim and Greg like the concept but wonder about the timing against the start of the NFL season. Jim would also like to see more 2026 candidates on the schedle to speak.Then, they wade into the growing debate on the right about whether taxpayer subsides designed to cover childcare costs for families below a certain income level should also be given to familes with a stay-at-home mom or dad.

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they dig into Abdul El-Sayed saying your kids should be "our kids," James Talarico being very slippery with the truth, Lindsay Clancy's attorney demonizing the holdout juror, and the same attorney asking President Trump for a pardon.First, they rip Michigan Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed for saying "If I had one political philosophy it’s that I want us to build what we would build if we took seriously the idea that all of our kids were all of our kids." And of course he's using kids to further his radical, big government agenda.Next, they highlight the slick lying of Texas Democratic U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico. Now that he's running statewide, Talarico claims to have been a vocal critic of Pres. Biden's border policies at the time. But his argument implodes once it faces the truth.Then, they fume as Lindsay Clancy's attorney, Kevin Reddington, publicly demonizes the one juror who apparently voted to convict Clancy.  Finally, they react to another Reddington statement, this time asking President Trump to pardon Clancy. Greg explains why that makes no sense. Jim says Reddington is proving to be the living charicature of a sleazy defense lawyer.Please visit our great sponsors:ZocDocYour health matters and taking care of yourself shouldn’t be complicated.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they consider a terrific defense of capitalism in the face of CNN lefties trying to tie it to white supremacy, Rick Caruso's odd re-emergence in the LA mayor's race, Sen. Ed Markey easily winning his primary and immediately calling for Trump's impeachment, and Hunter Biden's latest weird confession.First, they applaud CNN panelist Kmele Foster for his robust defense of capitalism and how it is absurd for the left to try to link it to white supremacy as James Talarico and others have tried to do. Jim also explains that the frustrations many people think they have with capitalism is really the result of government regulation.Next, they roll their eyes as Rick Caruso, who lost the 2022 Los Angeles mayoral race to Karen Bass, suddenly reappears and seems shocked that the Democratic Socialists of America are a factor in this year's campaign. Jim and Greg discuss how Caruso's stock has fallen considerably over the past couple of years.Then, they dig into Sen. Markey's big win over Rep. Seth Moulton in the Democratic U.S. Senate primary in Massachusetts. And while some top Democrats are pretending otherwise, Markey immediately demanded the impeachment of President Trump if Democrats control Congress again.Finally, they're almost speechless as Hunter Biden declares himself 48.6 percent gay. Greg sees this as a ploy by Biden to gain sympathy and support on the left. Jim longs for the days when people didn't reveal every last detail of their personal lives.Please visit our great sponsors:Icognihttps://incogni.com/3MLTake control of your digital footprint with Incogni today.
