Florida's Socialist Shocker, The Fake Pollster, $40 Trillion in Debt | Last Call

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 a socialist state lawmaker shocking the Democrats by winning the Florida U.S. Senate primary, a company admitting it completely fabricated recent polling results, the U.S. national debt reaching $40 trillion, and a majority of Dems, independents, and Republicans favoring price controls.First, they discuss the stunning victory of socialist Angie Nixon in the Florida Democratic U.S. Senate primary over the heavily-favored establishment pick, Alexander Vindman. Jim and Greg also discuss how this result may impact the governor's race, and they round up a number of encouraging results in GOP congressional primaries.Next, they dig into "Median Strategies" announcing it is done polling, fabricated all of their results, and the whole operation was a social experiment to see how much fake polling could get reported without anyone bothering to verify the results were legitimate.Then, they wince as the U.S. national debt surges past $40 trillion. They fume at both parties for refusing to deal with this problem long before it got this bad. They also blast Democrats and some Republicans who blocked the effort more than 20 years ago to allow Americans to invest some of the money they pay in Social Security taxes. The payoff now would have been huge.Finally, they groan as a new poll shows a majority of Democrats, independents, and even Republicans all favor price controls. Charlie argues that many politicians are flat out lying about our current economic conditions and are convincing too many people of the wrong remedy.Please visit our great sponsors:Brooklyn Beddinghttps://BrooklynBedding.comGet 30% off sitewide Brooklyn Bedding with promo code 3ML. BetterHelphttps://betterhelp.com/3ML See the reviews, see what stands out, and see if BetterHelp is right for you. Noble Goldhttps://NobleGoldInvestments.com/3MLIf you want to see how physical gold and silver could fit into your portfolio, download Noble Gold Investments FREE Wealth Protection Kit.New episodes every weekday. 👉 Subscribe to the show so you never miss a moment.Follow us for more daily clips, updates, and commentary:FacebookInstagramYoutubeOther InfoWebsite

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they consider Mike Rogers finding plenty of Democrats to endorse him publicly in the Michigan Senate race, Florida Democrat/Socialist Senate nominee Angie Nixon saying Republicans are trying to kill black people, the U.S. Navy reportedly considering removing the name of a World War II hero from a forthcoming aircraft carrier and possibly renaming it for President Trump, and California finally counting a lot more votes in a special congressional election.First, they applaud Michigan GOP Senate nominee Mike Rogers for aggressively reaching out to Democrats who feel uneasy about the far-left agenda Abdul El-Sayed would bring to the U.S. Senate. Next, they reveal a whole lot more about Florida Democratic U.S. Senate nominee Angie Nixon. In multiple interviews that have emerged since her surprising win on Tuesday, Nixon claims Republicans want to kill black people. She also contends Congress has plenty of money for government-run health care.Then, they discuss the U.S. Navy reportedly considering whether to remove Pearl Harbor hero Doris Miller's name from a future aircraft carrier. The same reports also say some in the Navy want to rename it after President Trump. Jim contends no sitting president should have a carrier named for him and removing Miller's name would be seen as an insult.Finally, they give a golf clap to California election officials for managing to count enough votes to determine a winner in a California congressional election within 48 hours.Please visit our great sponsors:Brooklyn Beddinghttps://BrooklynBedding.comGet 30% off sitewide Brooklyn Bedding with promo code 3ML. BetterHelphttps://betterhelp.com/3ML See the reviews, see what stands out, and see if BetterHelp is right for you. Noble Goldhttps://NobleGoldInvestments.com/3MLIf you want to see how physical gold and silver could fit into your portfolio, download Noble Gold Investments FREE Wealth Protection Kit.New episodes every weekday. 👉 Subscribe to the show so you never miss a moment.Follow us for more daily clips, updates, and commentary:FacebookInstagramYoutubeOther InfoWebsite

Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch as they dig into the U.S. national debt reaching $40 trillion, Los Angeles taxpayers involuntarily bankrolling local elections, Mike Lindell demanding an audit of an election he lost by 45,000 votes, and California's vote counting is once again a national embarrassment.First, they wince as the U.S. national debt surges past $40 trillion. They fume at both parties for refusing to deal with this problem long before it got this bad. They also blast Democrats and some Republicans who blocked the effort more than 20 years ago to allow Americans to invest some of the money they pay in Social Security taxes. The payoff now would have been huge.Next, they shake their heads as Los Angeles will give five dollars of taxpayer money to local candidates for every dollar actually donated to them. It's yet another symptom of a truly rotten political system, which now has two dreadful candidates facing off in the mayoral election in November.Then, they get into Mike Lindell's latest allegations of suspicious election results. This time he's challenging his loss in last week's Minneota GOP primary for governor, which he lost by 45,000 votes. Finally, they look at California's latest vote counting disgrace. The vote totals in a special congressional election have not budged in more than 24 hours. How are California Democrats not humiliated by this ridiculous system?Please visit our great sponsors:Brooklyn Beddinghttps://BrooklynBedding.comGet 30% off sitewide Brooklyn Bedding with promo code 3ML. BetterHelphttps://betterhelp.com/3ML See the reviews, see what stands out, and see if BetterHelp is right for you. Noble Goldhttps://NobleGoldInvestments.com/3MLIf you want to see how physical gold and silver could fit into your portfolio, download Noble Gold Investments FREE Wealth Protection Kit.New episodes every weekday. 👉 Subscribe to the show so you never miss a moment.Follow us for more daily clips, updates, and commentary:FacebookInstagramYoutubeOther InfoWebsite

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they react to a socialist state lawmaker shocking the Democrats by winning the Florida U.S. Senate primary, South Carolina Sen. Darline Graham admitting she is not well-versed at all on national security, a company admitted it completely fabricated recent polling results, and two Dan Sullivans appearing likely to make the November ballot for U.S. Senate in Alaska.First, they discuss the stunning victory of socialist Angie Nixon in the Florida Democratic U.S. Senate primary over the heavily-favored establishment pick, Alexander Vindman. Jim and Greg also discuss how this result may impact the governor's race, and they round up a number of encouraging results in GOP congressional primaries.Next, they head to the South Carolina GOP U.S. Senate debate as Sen. Darline Graham whiffs on a question about Taiwan and admits, "National security is not my thing." Jim explains why this answer ought to be considered disqualifying, especially considering the challenges we face from China.Then, they dig into "Median Strategies" announcing it is done polling, fabricated all of their results, and the whole operation was a social experiment to see how much fake polling could get reported without anyone bothering to verify the results were legitimate.Finally, they groan over Alaska's ridiculous system, where four candidates advance from Tuesday's primary to the general election. This year the four U.S. Senate candidates will include two named Dan Sullivan, one of whom is accused of running just to sow confusion for the current Sen. Sullivan. The eventual winner will be decided through the execrable ranked choice voting system. Please visit our great sponsors:Brooklyn Beddinghttps://BrooklynBedding.comGet 30% off sitewide Brooklyn Bedding with promo code 3ML. BetterHelphttps://betterhelp.com/3ML See the reviews, see what stands out, and see if BetterHelp is right for you. Noble Goldhttps://NobleGoldInvestments.com/3MLIf you want to see how physical gold and silver could fit into your portfolio, download Noble Gold Investments FREE Wealth Protection Kit.New episodes every weekday. 👉 Subscribe to the show so you never miss a moment.Follow us for more daily clips, updates, and commentary:FacebookInstagramYoutubeOther InfoWebsite

National Review Senior Editor Charles C.W. Cooke, who hosts the Charles C.W. Cooke Podcast, fills in for Jim on the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch. Join Charlie and Greg as they discuss Abdul El-Sayed's latest radical economic idea, James Talarico claiming school choice and the SAVE America Act are designed as tools of oppression against black people, actor Jeff Daniels missing the point of his new movie about Reagan, & a Democrat rejects an endorsement from Kamala Harris.First, they shudder as El-Sayed says he would be more aggressive than Bernie Sanders in government taking over private companies. Charlie explains why this is basically totalitarianism. And they fume over how the left has twisted the definition of "democracy" beyond recognition.Next, they shake their heads as Democratic Texas U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico says Voter ID is designed to suppress the black vote and that school choice is a "tool of segregation." Charlie says 80 percent of black voters supporting Voter ID undercuts Talarico's pathetic narrative. And Greg sees a pattern in how Talarico and other Democrats approach these issues.Then, they react to Jeff Daniels suggesting the takeway from his new movie about the 1986 Reagan-Gorbachev summit in Iceland  is that John Lennon's Imagine might really come true. Charlie explains the real reason the U.S. won the Cold War, why Daniels is missing the main point of the story, and why Reagan and Imagine have virtually nothing in common.Finally, they get a good laugh as Democrat Alaska U.S. Senate candidate Mary Peltola publicly rejects an endorsement from former Vice President Kamala Harris. But other accounts suggests Peltola asked for the endorsement.Please visit our great sponsors:Brooklyn Beddinghttps://BrooklynBedding.comGet 30% off sitewide Brooklyn Bedding with promo code 3ML. BetterHelphttps://betterhelp.com/3ML See the reviews, see what stands out, and see if BetterHelp is right for you. Noble Goldhttps://NobleGoldInvestments.com/3MLIf you want to see how physical gold and silver could fit into your portfolio, download Noble Gold Investments FREE Wealth Protection Kit.New episodes every weekday. 👉 Subscribe to the show so you never miss a moment.Follow us for more daily clips, updates, and commentary:FacebookInstagramYoutubeOther InfoWebsite

National Review Senior Editor Charles C.W. Cooke, who hosts the Charles C.W. Cooke Podcast, fills in for Jim on the Monday 3 Martini Lunch. Join Charlie and Greg as they dig into Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear joining the left-wing chorus wanting to abolish the Electoral College, why fewer men are working now and what can be done to reverse it, a professor at Cal-Berkeley fed up with incoming students who are way behind on math, and a majority of Dems, independents, and Republicans favoring price controls.First, they rip. Gov. Beshear for failing to understand the the purpose of the Electoral College. Charlie and Greg also explain why scrapping it would be really bad, both for Kentucky and for Beshear's fledgling White House ambitions.Next, they wince at a New York Post editorial highlighting how men have fallen behind women in employment and that it's part of an ongoing trend, but it's one usually triggered by some shock like the financial crisis or the Covid pandemic. Charlie says we need to realize the economy doesn't look llike it did a couple of decades ago, and getting an accurate picture is a big step towards addressing the problem.Then, they applaud a University of California-Berkeley math professor for venting that many of her students are entering the school anywhere from five to eight years behind in math and that she has to take time to teach concepts they should have learned in middle school. The professor, as well as Charlie and Greg, point to admissions policies and other factors that distract schools from simply admitting the best of the best.Finally, they groan as a new poll shows a majority of Democrats, independents, and even Republicans all favor price controls. Charlie argues that many politicians are flat out lying about our current economic conditions and are convincing too many people of the wrong remedy.Please visit our great sponsors:Brooklyn Beddinghttps://BrooklynBedding.comGet 30% off sitewide Brooklyn Bedding with promo code 3ML. BetterHelphttps://betterhelp.com/3ML See the reviews, see what stands out, and see if BetterHelp is right for you. Noble Goldhttps://NobleGoldInvestments.com/3MLIf you want to see how physical gold and silver could fit into your portfolio, download Noble Gold Investments FREE Wealth Protection Kit.New episodes every weekday. 👉 Subscribe to the show so you never miss a moment.Follow us for more daily clips, updates, and commentary:FacebookInstagramYoutubeOther InfoWebsite

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 AOC trying to giggle away the left's repressive and woke lurch since 2020, Abdul El-Sayed becoming the latest Democrat to hate Thanksgiving, Tucker Carlson and Hunter Biden blaming Israel for Hunter's laptop scandal, and the WNBA still failing to define a woman.First, they fume as New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortes laughs and tries to chalk up the left's destructive demonization of police, white people, and anyone who didn't obey every jot and tittle of the Covid rules as some some crazy "Woke 1" phase the party went through. Jim says you can be sure the next level of wokeness will be far worse.Next, they throw up their hands as Abdul El-Sayed becomes the latest Democrat in this cycle to express his hatred for Thanksgiving. It was seven years ago and El-Sayed insists he does not believe that anymore. But it came after his run for governor in 2018. They also react to El-Sayed's comments comparing football to the transatlantic slave trade.Then, they groan as Tucker Carlson and Hunter Biden blame Israel for Hunter's laptop fiasco and pushing the story to the media. Jim begs Biden to go away and he also addresses growing concerns that Tucker will start a third party designed to sink Republicans in 2028.Finally, they laugh as WNBA officials meet for hours to discuss who should be eligible to play in the league and they couldn't come to any conclusions.Please visit our great sponsors:AG1https://DrinkAG1.com/3ML Start your first AGI subscription order, and get a FREE AG1 Flavor Sampler and a FREE bottle of Vitamin D3 + K2 in your Welcome Kit.Noble Goldhttps://NobleGoldInvestments.com/3MLIf you want to see how physical gold and silver could fit into your portfolio, download Noble Gold Investments FREE Wealth Protection Kit.IncogniTake control of your digital footprint today.

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they cover Mike Rogers leading the Michigan Senate race but "college-educated" white women overwhelmingly backing Abdul El-Sayed, Minnesota Lt. Gov. and Dem Senate nominee Peggy Flanagan blaming only Gov. Tim Walz for the massive fraud in her state, New Jersey Dems spending a ridiculous amount of taxpayer dollars on a portrait, and the WNBA still failing to define a woman.First, they welcome the only encouraging poll of a key Senate race released by Fox News yesterday. Mike Rogers leads Abdul El-Sayed by four points in Michigan. White men are overwhelmingly behind Rogers, as are women who did not go to college. But "college-educated" women back El-Sayed 60-37 percent. We dig into the numbers and why that group is so much different than the others.Next, they shake their heads as Minnesota Lt. Gov. and Democratic U.S. Senate nominee Peggy Flanagan says she bears no responsibility for the fraud scandal in her state because "the buck stops" with Gov. Tim Walz. She also wishes somebody would have done something about it sooner. Jim and Greg suspect voters will not be satisfied with that answer.Then, they dig into New Jersey spending $135,000 in taxpayer dollars on a portrait of former Gov. Phil Murphy. That's $50,000 more than the price tag for Gov. Chris Christie's portrait eight years ago. Jim and Greg have a simple and very cost-effective solution.Finally, they laugh as WNBA officials meet for hours to discuss who should be eligible to play in the league and they couldn't come to any conclusions.Please visit our great sponsors:AG1https://DrinkAG1.com/3ML Start your first AGI subscription order, and get a FREE AG1 Flavor Sampler and a FREE bottle of Vitamin D3 + K2 in your Welcome Kit.Noble Goldhttps://NobleGoldInvestments.com/3MLIf you want to see how physical gold and silver could fit into your portfolio, download Noble Gold Investments FREE Wealth Protection Kit.IncogniTake control of your digital footprint today.

Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss how the U.S. Secret Service smuggled President Trump out of Turkey on a different plane without the media or his staff knowing, Texas Republicans getting very worried about Ken Paxton losing the U.S. Senate race, Abdul El-Sayed becoming the latest Democrat to hate Thanksgiving, and the cautionary tale of former rising political star Andrew Gillum.First, they dive into how the Secret Service used covert moves to get President Trump onto a different plane when he was leaving Turkey last month due to the threat of an Iranian attack. Some in the media are crying foul because they or their colleagues were left on the original plane. Jim and Greg walk through what criticism is fair and what is not.Next, they get nauseous as Republicans in Texas openly worry that Ken Paxton is on track to lose his U.S. Senate race against James Talarico. GOP operatives tell Mark Halperin that Paxton is being lazy in his campaigning and evasive in addressing his many scandals. But this is Texas. Against Talarico. Is it really that dire?Then, they throw up their hands as Abdul El-Sayed becomes the latest Democrat in this cycle to express his hatred for Thanksgiving. It was seven years ago and El-Sayed insists he does not believe that anymore. But it came after his run for governor in 2018. They also react to El-Sayed's comments comparing football to the transatlantic slave trade.Finally, they detail the latest legal trouble for former Tallahassee, Florida, Mayor Andrew Gillum, who was narrowly defeated by Ron DeSantis in the 2018 governor's race. Since then Gillum has faced numerous drug charges and other revelations. Jim wonders about the impact of being a political star everyone quickly forgets about. Greg says Florida dodged a huge bullet.Please visit our great sponsors:AG1https://DrinkAG1.com/3ML Start your first AGI subscription order, and get a FREE AG1 Flavor Sampler and a FREE bottle of Vitamin D3 + K2 in your Welcome Kit.Noble Goldhttps://NobleGoldInvestments.com/3MLIf you want to see how physical gold and silver could fit into your portfolio, download Noble Gold Investments FREE Wealth Protection Kit.IncogniTake control of your digital footprint today.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they dig into Tuesday's critical primary results in three states, another blue state enthusiastically embracing abortion up to the moment of birth, Tucker Carlson and Hunter Biden blaming Israel for Hunter's laptop scandal, and another House incumbent losing his primary.First, they walk through the primary results in Wisconsin, Minnesota, and South Carolina, including how socialist Francesca Hong blew a nearly 30 point lead within just a few days, whether Michele Tafoya can win a U.S. Senate seat in Minnesota, and what Tuesday's South Carolina U.S. Senate primary might tell us about who might win the runoff there.Next, they shudder as Massachusetts becomes the latest state to legalize abortion for any reason or no reason up to the moment of birth. Greg points out that any third trimester complication can be dealt with by delivering instead of killing the baby. Jim details how drastically the left's position on abortion has changed in recent years.Then, they groan as Tucker Carlson and Hunter Biden blame Israel for Hunter's laptop fiasco and pushing the story to the media. Jim begs Biden to go away and he also addresses growing concerns that Tucker will start a third party designed to sink Republicans in 2028.Finally, they note Connecticut Rep. John Larson losing his primary on Tuesday, adding to a much longer list of incumbents fired by their own party's voters in 2026 thna in most cycles.Please visit our great sponsors:AG1https://DrinkAG1.com/3ML Start your first AGI subscription order, and get a FREE AG1 Flavor Sampler and a FREE bottle of Vitamin D3 + K2 in your Welcome Kit.Noble Goldhttps://NobleGoldInvestments.com/3MLIf you want to see how physical gold and silver could fit into your portfolio, download Noble Gold Investments FREE Wealth Protection Kit.IncogniTake control of your digital footprint today.
