Mamdani's Rent Adviser Owes $108K in Unpaid Rent · 3 Martini Lunch – Political Humor & Commentary

• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Welcome to the Three Martini Lunch.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: Grab a stool next to Greg Corumbus of Radio America
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: and Jim Garritty of National Review. Free Martini's coming up.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: So glad you're with us for the Tuesday edition of
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: The Three Martini Lunch and Jim. As we've said a
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: couple of times, this election cycle, we've spent more time
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: figuring out the last possible moment we could remove candidates
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: from the ballot even after they've won the nomination, than
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: in any cycle previously. We've seen the Democrats do a
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: number of places. The Republicans successfully did this in North
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Carolina eleven. They just picked their replacement to replace Chuck
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Edwards after the House Ethics Committee came down on him.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Republicans a lot of them anyway. We're also trying to
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: shove Max Miller out of his reelection bid in Ohio seven.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: He of course easily won his primary, but since then
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: we've heard about all these abuse allegations, which he tries
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: to defend on TV but always seems to make them worse.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: His father in law ex father in law, Bernie Moreno,
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: says he's not fit for office. The senator in Ohio
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: is actually up for reelection this year. John Houstad, after
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: hemming and hanging for a while, said he also thinks
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: that Max Miller should not be there. Trump called him, said,
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: according to reports, I think it was from Maxios. Hey,
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: MAXI it's looking tough. I don't know about this one,
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: but Max Miller said, you know, you inspired me in
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: twenty sixteen. You had all sorts of obstacles, but you
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: stuck with it and you beat Hillary. And so that's
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: what I'm going to do. And now Politico is reporting
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: that the Trump administration. President Trump's political team asked to
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: have Republicans last week not to wage a public pressure
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: campaign against him battled Congressman Max Miller after they became
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: increasingly convinced he wouldn't end his reelection bid their engagement.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: According to three people granted Anoneminya shared direct knowledge of
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: private conversations Kamis Miller and Sissy has no plans to
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: withdraw despite those allegations of abuse. Before that, some White
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: House officials and Republicans had urge Miller to get out,
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: but his determination to remain in the race would render
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: efforts to oust him moot. Administration officials resent in calls
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: with party leaders and other Republicans, said one Ohio Republican
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: involved in the conversations. They basically told us to back
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: off and let the voters decide, And so they're just
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: going to roll with Max Miller. I don't know if
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: that's due to loyalty from when Miller served in the
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Trump administration or what's happening here, but it's not good
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: for other people on the ballot, and potentially it could
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: be an albatross around other Republican candidates. If you look
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: at the polls here, Jim, they're all over the place,
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: and one Miller's down five, and when he's down fourteen,
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: the most recent one he's down eight. Either way, he's
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: not winning and he's probably not going to win.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was going to say, why would you not
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: want to cut your losses in a circumstance like this.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: We recalled the President coming down like a ton of
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: bricks on John Cornyn Senator in Texas. We recalled the
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: President coming down howard on Bill Cassidy Senator in Louisiana.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: So we've seen when the president wants somebody to not
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: be the nominee, he can apply a heck of a
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: lot of pressure. The White House chose not to do
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: that in this case. Now they're probably going to lose
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: this House seat, you know, like we saw in the
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: case of Chuck. First of all, every state, and I
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: believe every disc like they have clear laws and what
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: happens if a candidate is suddenly unavailable after the primary,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: after the usual filing deadlines. Listeners with long memories probably
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: called Mel Carnahan dying in a plane crash, Paul Wellstone. Unfortunately,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: candidates get hit by buses, candidates had, you know, suddenly
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: you know, get diagnosed with cancer, They have issues that
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: they cannot be on the ticket. So you need the
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: ability to replace your candidate really late, maybe even after
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: the ballots are printed up and you're looking has to
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: be announcement. Candidate A, due to underforeseen circumstances, cannot serve
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: in this, you know, in these in this office. Therefore,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: candidate vote for CANDIDATEA will be counted as candidate B,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: which either the state party or the county party, or
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: whichever the jurisdiction is, will replace them. That was an
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: option here. They chose not to do that, and I
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: guess thinking, oh, somehow Max Miller is gonna figure out
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: a way to pull it out. I do not think
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: he should be looking for an endorsement from Ohio senators.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: He's radioactive. And I don't know whether you think it's
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: a fair comparison to Graham Platner. But notice Graham Platner
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: was never convicted of a crime, at least that we
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: know of, and there was kind of this sense of, well,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: you know, like eventually the pressure became enormous where it's like, dude,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: you are a liability to the rest of the party
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: right now, maybe all these accusations against you are false,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: but you know what, they have now accumulated so much variety,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: There's so much, you know, there's so horrible. Your reputation
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: has suffered serious damage. You are not electable anymore. You
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: need to get your personal life straight and maybe someday
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: you can run for office again, but you cannot win
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: under these circumstances. And I don't think it's comparable to
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: the locker room comments or the you know, grab them
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: by the you know what comments from Trump. That was
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: pretty bad, but there was enough time between now and
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: there was enough distaste for Hillary. I don't know if
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: there's enough distaste in this district for the Democratic option
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: I think the end polling numbers you cited they are
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: just indicated that there aren't and I feel like there's
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: an intense distaste for Maxim Miller right now. So why
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: the White House would do this is baffling. It is apparently,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: you know, a hail Mary passed this belief that somehow
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: the district who's going to suddenly love the idea of
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: withholding your your daughter's favorite bunny in custody fights and
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: things like that. Is just that this is going to
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: go really badly, and it's entirely predictable that this is
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: going to go badly for local Republicans.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Saint Paul. That showed the Democrat his name is
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: Brian Poindexter up eight. Also showed the net favorables Poindexter
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: plus sixteen Miller negative eleven. That's uh, that's pretty big.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, popular, there is a bunny stealing constituency apparently in
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: that district in Ohio.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Yes, I can't say for certain that this entire poll
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: was conducted post bunny controversy, but Tavern Research is the
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: ones behind that, so well, we'll see. But I mean,
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: I think the die is cast in that particular race,
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: and the question is whether it has collateral damage beyond
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: just that district. So we saw all those crazy texts
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: and emails involving Max Miller and his ex wife and
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: so forth, and so their information is out there, but
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: your information doesn't need to be out there. Your personal
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: information does get out there, though, and you may be
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: surprised just how much of it can be found online,
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: whether it's your name, your phone number, your email, your
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: home address. Data brokers can collect this information and sell
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: or share it with other companies. And the more personal
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: information that's floating around, the more opportunities there are for
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: scammers and identity thieves. And that's why we want you
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: to know about in Cognate.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: And Cogni does the work of finding data brokers that
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: have your information and requesting politely but firmly, that they
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: remove it, and they keep monitoring to help make sure
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: that the information doesn't just show right back up.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: If you're looking for even more protection, you should check
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: out in Cogni's Family Unlimited Plan, which includes custom removals.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: If you find a website that's publishing your personal information,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: their privacy experts can help get it taken down.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: You can't control everywhere your information ends up, but you
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: can actually do something about it. So go to incogny
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: dot com and use the code three mL to get
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: sixty percent off an annual plan. Yeah, sixty percent. That's
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: in Cogni dot com code three m L. All right, jim,
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: the socialists are distinguishing themselves in all the wrong ways.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: We're enjoying it seeing their old tweets come out, their
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: ridiculous boilerplate talking points about how they're the many against
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: the rich and all this stuff. They're fighting against the oligarchs.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: And one of the people that keeps showing up in
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: these situations is Megan Romer, co chair of the Democratic
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: Socialists of America. We talked about a couple of weeks ago,
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: and she was on Fox News Sunday and Shannon Breem
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: just went through the DSA platform. She's like, Yeah, abolish
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: the Senate, Yeah, massive reform in the Supreme Court. Yeah,
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: abolishing prisons and borders long term. Absolutely well. She went
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: through this uh struggle session again, this time with David
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Remnick of The New Yorker. Jimmy, right about this in
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: the Morning Jolt today. And this is just one exchange
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: that they had over a number of issues where let's
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: just say the DSAY hasn't exactly worked out the details
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: on some of these issues, but we do believe in
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: taxing the hell out of millionaires.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, Well what is taxing the hell out of them? Mean?
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: Uh?
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah? You know again, I don't want to like a
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: solid but should I think?
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: But shouldn't you?
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, if you're the co chair, if you're the
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: co chair of the DSA, shouldn't you be more specific
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: than just taxing the hell out of something? What exactly
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: do you mean? So again, it's democracy, right, and we
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: have to look at what we need to spend and
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: what we need.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: We don't want to depend on the existence.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Of millionaires because that means people are still getting exploited.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: So so yeah, we need to we need to look
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: at what we need to pay for in the interim,
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: what what sort of tax base we need for that
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: to happen, and then and build from there. And they
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: had other exchanges, like you know, she's like, oh, defunding
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: the police doesn't mean no police and he's like, well, no,
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: it means you don't want to fund them, which means
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: they're not going to be around. The one thing she
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: did seem to get specific on was sending lots of
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: diplomats to end the war in Ukraine. And then in
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: terms of her Middle East solution, our position is a
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: free Palestine with the capitol in Jerusalem, and so I
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: think that could safely be read as a one state solution.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: So that's the one thing she is pretty sure about. Jim,
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: I guess you could say the candidates are the ones
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: who should come up with the specific details. But you know,
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: when it comes to stuff like this, and they're really
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: you know, stark pronouncements when you actually poke a little bit,
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: they really have nothing of substance.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, look, your co chair of a party or movement,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: yourself may not be running for office, but it would
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: be helpful if, when asked, what does taxing the hell
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: out of them mean? You could at least mention a
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: top tax rate, which is you could, as listeners could
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: and viewers could see. She could not. By the way
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: she is, I believe by my she's born in eighty three,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: so I believe by my math she's like forty two,
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: forty three years old. So if you're picturing some bubbleheaded,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: you know, twenty something who doesn't know like, no, no,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: she's she's been around. This was you know, that was
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: a particularly bad exchange, and I put out David Remnick
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: of The New Yorker is not asking her about algebra
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: or obscure regulations or historical dates. The questions that tripped
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: her up are all just what is your opinion? Basically,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: it's you know, what does taxing the hell out of
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: them mean? What does prison abolition mean to you? What
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: does defunding the police mean in your mind? How do
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: you feel about Russia's invasion of Ukraine? What is the
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: position of the DSA on Israel and Palestine? Is that
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: for a two state solution is a binational one state solution?
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: This goes about as bad as any interview I think
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: I've ever seen, and it's interesting. By the end of it,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: she's insisting that she doesn't speak on behalf of the DSA,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: which I'm kind of left wondering, like what are you
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: doing here? Then? Like if the code chair does not
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: speak on behalf of the DSA, who does and she
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: you know answers you know, you know that person doesn't exist.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: The convention would be closest to the one true arbiter
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: of what the DSA believes, and that only happens once
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: every two years. Now, you could say, oh, you know,
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: there's no one designated person who speaks on behalf of
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: the Republican Party, but President Trump pretty much plays that role.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: If you said to the r n C chairman, you know,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: do you do you speak? You know what do Republicans believe?
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: That r NC chairman wouldn't say, well, look, I can't
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: say what Republicans believe, like no, no, you're you're the
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: chairman of the party. Most you know that Like that,
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: there's a weird evasiveness throughout all of this. Now, asay
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: lay out in Today's Morning joelts I think, look, I
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: would love to We can have a lot of fun
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: just making fun of her. And she kind of deserves it.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: She she earned it. She made the decision after the
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Fox News interview to do this interview with David Remnick.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: David Remnick is is a smart cookie. He is not,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: you know, and she should have been prepared to say
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: the Again, these questions are not you know what, which
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: it's like, what what do you think? What do you believe?
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: What do you want to see actually enacted in policy?
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: And she keeps having an inability to answer that Bennie,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: I'll calling her a moron to be you know, we could,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: we could, you know, we have a lot of fun
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: with that, but it wouldn't change the mind of anybody
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: who believe is a supporter of the DSA or some
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: young person who's kind of leaning in that direction. So
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: I think the best way, like send this link around
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: and say, shouldn't a political movement that wants higher taxes
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: on the rich be able to say what those tax
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: rates ought to be? If you want to call for
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: prison abolition, shouldn't you be able to say what that
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: is or abolish the police? Because she says abolish the
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: police means redirecting funds, but it doesn't mean abolishing like
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: like she keeps going back and forth on what any
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: of this stuff was. She seems really confused on what
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: her own slogans mean, as if she's memorized the bumper
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: sticker but hasn't really thought. At one point, she talks
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: about planting trees as an anti crime initiative, and the
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: listeners know, I'm very anti tree after one tried to
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: kill me at my house. But she talks about school
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: lunch programs. By the way, you have to spend a ton
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: on school. She said, we're not spending enough on schools.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: We spend nearly a trillion dollars on schools. If the
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: amount of we spend on K through twelve education just
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: public schools, not private schools in this country, if it
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: were a separate country, it would be the twenty first
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: largest GDP in the world. Right, So this, oh, we're
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: underfunded school it's the same old complaints ont stare. And
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: when she says, you know, sending huge teams of diplomats
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: is the way to stop Russia, I guess the idea
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: is a catapult and you launch those teams of diplomats
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: at the incoming ballistic missiles and they intercept them and
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: explode them. I would rather use traditional air defense patriot
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: missiles and things like that, like der DSA are you
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: are you proud?
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: Is this what you want?
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: Or do you want some don't you think the problems
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: we face deserve better and more specific answers than what
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: we're getting here. It'll be interesting to see if Romer
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: remains very long as the DSA CoA chair, because I've
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: seen students who did not study for the test, and
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: generally they can improvise better than she can.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she might not be making as many media appearances,
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: but jimm you know a lot of the mainstream which
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: are still pretty far left obviously, now Democrats, you know,
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: they try to distance themselves from the DSA. But how
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: different is We're going to tax the heck out of you?
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: But I have no specifics to We want everybody to
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: pay their fair share.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: But having no specifics, yeah, once in a while you'll
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: see somebody get pressed on. So what is that fair share?
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: I believe Chris Murphy wants it to be forty nine percent.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: Current top print tax rate is thirty seven percent, so
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: he's looking at a pretty significant height. And this is
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: all separate from wealth taxes that they want to pay,
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: which is not real Like TAXI income is bill saying
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: if you tax something, you get less of it. So
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: if the argument of like if you tax income you
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: get fewer you get less income, if you tax sales
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: you get fewer sales, Well, if you tax wealth, you're
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: going to have fewer wealth. But that's not how much
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: did you earn this year? This is we the government
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: are going to calculate what your net worth is, then
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: take some percentage of that and say you owe us
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: percent of your net worth or ten percent of your
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: net worth or whatever, which is a terrible idea, which
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: is why everybody's you know, everybody wants to flee California.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: But this, you know, because we're in this angry populist moment,
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: everybody's just like, nah, make the billionaires pay more. And
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: you know, this idea of somehow this is going to
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: fund government forgetting the fact that billionaires can move.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: But you answered the question, what's the right rate? More?
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: Whatever it is now more. That's that's what they always want,
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: all right. Well, maybe maybe Megan Roamer just didn't start
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: her day with AG one and that could be part
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: of it. But with socialist there's usually more to it
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: than that, obviously. But hey, if you want to start
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: your day the best, definitely have AG one. You just
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: take a scoop of the AG one, you put it
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: in eight ounces of water, you mix it up, maybe
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: add some other flavors or ice, and you're all set
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: to go. Next thing, you know, you're supporting your gut health,
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: you're filling nutrient gaps. You've got all the nutrition you
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: need for that day.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: When it comes to Roamer, look, it can't hurt, you know,
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: maybe they kind of get the get the neurons connecting
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: a little bit better. You don't have to take it
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: from me. You don't have to take it from Greg.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: You take it from Hugh Jackman. But all three of
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: us have a lot in common, and it's that AG
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: We appreciate AG one of the daily health drink with
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: a multi vitamin pre and probiotic superfood antioxidants. By the way,
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: you're probiotic, but you're antioxidant. You don't want to reverse them.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: You don't want to be prooxidant and antibiotics. Antibiotics have
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: their uses. You got to kill some bacteria. One scoop
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: eight ounces of water. That's all it takes.

• 16:46
  Speaker 2: I know it's been a while now, but we had
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: a lot of fun with this back in the day.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: Remember when Barack Obama nominated Tim Geitner for Secretary of
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: the Treasure and it turned out he had not paid
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: a lot of his taxes. Still got in there because
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: he was the only person in the world who could
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: serve in that position at that time and response to
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: the Great Recession. But that was quite ironic. Well, hat
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: tip over to the Victory Girls blog and amuse as
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: it relates to a woman named Tracy Rosenthal who is
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: Zoron Mamdani, the New York City Mayor's so called rent advisor.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: And they report, when you sign a rental lease, you
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: are agreeing to pay the rental amount in a timely matter,
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: unless you're Tracy Rosenthal, a rent striking rising star radical
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: orchestrating the Mamdani administration socialist housing agenda. Is the daughter
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: of a famed music studio owner who recorded rock legends
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: like David Bowie, The Ramones, Blondie, Lou Reed, Sonic Youth,
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: the Foo Fighters, and Coldplay. This according to The Washington Post.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: While framing herself as a champion of the proletariat, Tracy
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: Rosenthal grew up in a trendy one point seven million
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: dollar pad would elite access to the music industry, attending
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: the Grammys and so forth. Yet despite her first class upbringing,
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: she spent on a four year rent strike since moving
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: back to New York City after a stint in la
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: because the Bolshevik bugged out after spotting our cockrow in
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: her hip twenty three hundred dollars a month Bedford Stuyvesant
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: apartment at a North Carolina Democratic Socialist of America meeting
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: where she spoke last August, thirty nine year old Rosenthal,
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: who pridefully posed for a snap on Carl Marx's grave
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: during a trip to London, saying the Blues about what
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: she claimed was horrendous conditions she had to endure in
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty one. Basically, she found one cockroach and she
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: wanted the landlord to come in with a full exterminator.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: They wouldn't do that, So she hasn't paid rent ever
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: since that. She's been challenging their decision not to send
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: in the exterminator to the tune now of over one
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: hundred and eight thousand dollars on her unit. So the
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: people who want to freeze the rent, and some would
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: say very realistically kind of screw the landlords at New
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: York City is certainly exhibiting that in her personal life.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: First of all, Greg, you mentioned tim Geithner, and you know, yes,
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: that was ironic. It was even more ironic that Geithner
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: was being questioned by Charlie Rangel, the long time New
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: York Democratic congress but who also did not believe in
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: paying his taxes and who you know, So you have
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: two guys talking about not paying their taxes. And also
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: in that confirmation hearing, Geithner talked about the need for
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: greater enforcement by the IRS to get people to pay
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: their taxes. I guess you know, you know, say what
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: you know, speak from experience. So on the one hand,
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: you know, look, if I found a cockroach in my apartment,
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: I'd be upset and I would want the landlord to
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: spray and the mid at some point, like but they
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: have small claims court. If you if you have these,
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: you have renter's court, you have these things.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: You know, you know.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: Steps you can take when you say I just I'm
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: not going to pay rent anymore and I'm just not
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: going you know, like, you can then say I'm moving out.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: You have multiple options. Perhaps this wealthy upbringing of this
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: young woman generate a certain level of guilt. You know,
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: she was born with great privilege, she was born with
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: great wealth, if you know, based on her parents fortune,
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: if she never wanted to work for the rest of
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: her life. I get the feeling she could. And so
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: like it's one hand, Okay, fine, you know you you
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: want to do something to help the poor, you want
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: to do something to help the downtrauden. And so of
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: course she ends up with Mom Dami as a rent advisor,
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: and the idea like, there's a great leg So your
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: advice on the rent is to not pay it, which
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: is a surefire, surefire path to eviction traditionally. And now
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: the thing is is that she has her la path,
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: She's got multiple options, you know, like a whole bunch
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: of people don't have that second house that they can
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: get to. They don't have that second alternative. That's why
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: they keep paying the rent. That's why ideally you're supposed
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: to remain on good terms with your landlad. Now I
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: don't know anything about this landlord. Maybe they're bad, but
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: I noticed none of the other tenants have moved out,
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: and it seems like all the other tenants have figured
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: out a way to you know, to figure out how
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: to get deal with the cockroach issue. By the way,
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: leaving food out could be a real big problem when
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: it comes to cockroach. So secondly, it is New York City.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: It is not unknown for there to be cockroaches there.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: It is not unknown for there to be rats and
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: pests and everything else. So it's one of those things
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: where you're kind of left like, look, you know, if
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: the place was infested, if the place like okay, then
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: maybe this would be a fairer objection. Based on the
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: information we have. There was a sighting of a cockroach
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: singular that seems like the sort of thing you should
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: be able to work out without failing to pay rent
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: with the tune of one hundred and eight thousand dollars
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: for over a period of several years.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, how does this not resolved? First of
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: all after four years, either she should have to pay
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: or or she doesn't. I mean, how is this still
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: in limbo? I don't get that if you think, I'm
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: sure there are bad landlords out there, but if you
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: think the private landlords are bad, wait till it's the government,
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: which is what Mahmadanni really wants. He wants to rent
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: freeze and then when proper you know, upgrades and modernization
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: don't happen while you're a terrible landlord. We're going to
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: take your property from you. The government will run instead,
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: and then your conditions will really really be great. Trust me. Well,
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: if you've got an extra one hundred and eight thousand
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: dollars to to lie around, maybe you want to invest it,
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: and if it's time to diversify that portfolio, or at
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: least check it out whether or not precious medals are
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: right for you. Check out the good folks over at

  Speaker 2: three m L. All right, Jim, Big primary day today.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: Some of the states that are not on the radar,
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: a know how special in Alabama, Connecticut with a full
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: slate of state and congressional primary sam in Vermont. But
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: the big ones, of course are Wisconsin governor, Minnesota governor
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: and a Senate primary open seat there, and then of
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: course the South Carolina special. Real quick, I think we're
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: both expecting there to be a runoff in South Carolina.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: Nobody's going to get to fifty percent or even close
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: to it based on the polls with all these candidates
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: in the race, looks like Darlene Graham is probably expected
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: to make the runof and then it's going to be
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: a real tight race for the second spot between Congressman
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: Russell Frye, Congressman Ralph Norman, and former Governor Mark Sandford.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: My guess is, if she advances, Darlen Graham is really
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: good Mark Sandford wins given his previous baggage, could be
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: a really tough race. Otherwise. Also, we've got you know,
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: Michelle Tafoya likely advancing tonight, but Royce White applying to
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: play in the NBA and the WNBA last week may
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: have raised his profile a little bit. I still think
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: she's likely to win. You've got the governor's race there
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: with Lisa Dumouth against Mike Lindella and the Republicans, and
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: then the Democratic Senate race might be the tightest race
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: of the night because you've got Angie Craig against the
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: congressman against Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan, who's, as you would say,
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: Coca for Coco Pops. And then of course we're going
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: to see just how well Francesca Honk does in Wisconsin.
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: So what are you looking forward to?
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: I suspect Darlene Graham will be the front runner. We'll
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: finish first tonight. I'd be surprised she got fifty percent.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: I think she's probably going to be the stronger of
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: the two candidates in the runoff. Name recognition, public sympathy,
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: a de facto Trump endorsement, although we haven't heard Trump
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: be as loud in the run up to this runoff
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: as you might have expected. But again, I think that probably,
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: you know, she is kind of the default setting for
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: the typical South Carolina Republican. Michelle Tafoya one of eight
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: guests in the history of the Three Marked India Lunch podcast.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: Minnesota Republicans, if you don't nominate her, what's wrong with you? Look,
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: it has been a tough year for Republican recruiting. This
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: is not you want to have your best players on
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: the field. To use the football metaphor that she'd be
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: so familiar with, I you know, I can't imagine. Similarly,
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: I can't understand why Minnesota Republicans think my pillow guy
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: is going to even come close in this. He's a joke,
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: he's a lunatic. He's making one crazy conspiracy theory after another.
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: His pillows are.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: Great, his betting's great. But otherwise this is not the
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: type of guy, Like, let's put this candidacy to bed,
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: so can the rest easy and then Joe Francesca Hang
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: I suspect is going to do really, really well. I'll
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: be honest, I don't feel like I know very well
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: how the Minnesota Democratic primary. Everybody kind of figured Peggy Flannin,
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: by virtue of being the Lieutenant governor, was going to
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: have the front run. If she loses, it'll be an
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: interesting indication that the fraud scandals in the state really
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: have become an embarrassment and that Minnesota Democrats are looking
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: for to turn the page and to not have someone
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: tied to the status quo. So some movement there, and
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: again I think Francesca Hang wins. I don't think it's
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: all that close, and it'll be interesting to see whether
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: whether Democrats want to fully embrace her or whether there's
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: a gentle distancing and a recognition that in a year
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: where they have kind of the wind at their backs,
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: they may well have botched this by nominating someone who
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: hates Thanksgiving at a whole bunch of other holidays.
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: Serves them right. One of the races I'm watching is
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: Wisconsin seven. That's Tom Tiffany's current seat in Congress. He's
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: of course going to be the republicancuminatorial nominee Sean Duffy,
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: who used to hold that seat. His twenty six year
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: old son in law is running for that seat. His
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: name is Michael Alfonso. The guy actually want to win
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: that seat is a guy named Kevin Hermaning, who I
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: interviewed for my Veterans podcast. He's a former marine and
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: he was actually a marine stationed at the US Embassy
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: in Iran when it was overrun. He was one of
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: the fifty two hostages who was there for four hundred
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: and forty four days. Great guy, great long record of
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: public service, and I hope he kind of pulls it out.
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: I think twenty six is a little bit young to
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: be sent to Congress, but I'm pretty sure that seat
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: is going to stay read November. Either way.
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: Isn't too much to ask you do something with your
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: life before you run for office? Is that really? Am
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: I setting the bar too high?
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: I don't think so. I don't think so. Anyway, Jim,
• 27:03
