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 New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani unloading on Israel on the three-year anniversary of the Hamas terrorist attacks, another lefty tax scheme blowing up in Dems' faces, new evidence of a deeper Iranian plot against America's presence at a UK military base, and the Ft. Hood terrorist learns when he will be executed.First, they slam Mayor Mamdani, who opened his tweet with an appropriate remembrance of the horrific Hamas terrorist attacks in Israel but then spent much more time addressing what he considers the "genocide," "war crimes," and "apartheid" of Israel. Jim and Greg call out the falsehoods, the ghoulish timing, and how Mamdani's stance is now the position of the vast majority of Democrats.Next, the tackle another left-wing tax embarrassment. The "Mansion Tax" in Los Angeles was supposed to bring in huge revenues and pay for low-income housing. The results have been a laughable failure for Democrats, including both candidates for mayor.Then, they react to the latest reports that the U.S. moved B-1 Bombers from RAF Fairford in the UK because the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) was planning a drone attack against planes and personnel there. They also address reports on the IRGC "owning" human trafficking lines into Western Europe and the UK.Finally, they welcome the news that Ft. Hood terrorist Nidal Hasan, who murdered 13 people (plus an unborn baby) and wounded 32 others on base in 2009, will face execution there by firing squad in early December.Please visit our great sponsors:QuoMoney is on the line.

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they chronicle Abdul El-Sayed dodging what should be an easy debate question about Iran and Israel, Vice President JD Vance missing the mark when asked to define socialism, the debate over whether the Ft. Hood terrorist's execution should be made public, and more.First, they highlight Michigan Democratic U.S. Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed refusing to say whether he believes Iran or Israel is a bigger threat to the United States.

They also remark on how El-Sayed mother became relevant in the campaign last night.Next, they scratch their heads as Vice President Vance defines socialism as the Democrats pushing for boys in girls' sports and globalists importing foreign workers at the expense of job for Americans. While those should be opposed, Jim and Greg define what socialism is and why that matters - especially when we're just a few weeks from Election Day and so many candidates on the left are embracing that label.Then, they wade into the debate over the military announcing the execution of Ft. Hood terrorist Nidal Hasan will be livestreamed. Jim explains why he's conflicted over that move. Greg points out the hypocrisy of so many on the left who are outraged by this decision.Finally, Jim and Greg explain why the podcast will sound a bit different for the next couple of weeks.Please visit our great sponsors:QuoMoney is on the line.

Rubio for explaining the roots of our Western Civilization, the threats facing it from both inside and outside the West, and how we must preserve this amazing heritage of freedom, faith, and prosperity. Jim also notes the mazing optics of the speech in Athens.Next, they breathe a sigh of relief as the FBI arrests the would-be Islamist terrorist who was plotting to shoot up the Mall of America later this month. This is the latest in a series of Islamists planning or trying to execute attacks.Then, they roll their eyes as more Democrats in tight races suddenly announce they aren't in favor of men in women's sports or trans surgeries for children.

Jim and Greg call out the falsehoods, the ghoulish timing, and how Mamdani's stance is now the position of the vast majority of Democrats.Next, they get a kick out of Michigan U.S. Senate hopeful Abdul El-Sayed reportedly telling Hasan Piker that Piker's consistently incendiary comments are hurting the campaign and costing El-Sayed votes. Jim and Greg also roll their eyes as El-Sayed again tries to downplay Piker's many appearances on behalf of El-Sayed earlier this year.Then, they laugh Sen.
