## Resource

Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch as they skewer former First Lady Jill Biden over her obvious lies about Joe Biden's condition in 2024, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul's failed attempt to dunk on President Trump, a Democrat with ties to Al Qaeda running for Congress, and Virginia Democrats postponing their congressional campaigns. First, Jim and Greg hammer Jill Biden after her CBS News interview in which she claimed she thought President Joe Biden was having a stroke during his 2024 debate against President Trump. She also insisted she had never seen Biden in that condition before or after that night. Jim and Greg call out her lies as Mrs. Biden pushes her new book. Next, they laugh as Gov. Hochul gets embarrassed by her attempt to get in a petty jab at President Trump over the New York Knicks. Trump said he was excited to see the Knicks back in the NBA Finals and calls himself a lifelong fan of the team. Hochul tried to challenge that assertion and it backfired big time. Jim and Greg have a lot of fun correcting the record. Then, they spotlight New Jersey congressional candidate Adam Hamawy, a Democrat who reportedly interned for the “charitable” arm of Al Qaeda during the 1990s. Jim and Greg react to the controversy and wonder whether Democratic Party standards have fallen so low that they'll even vote for this guy. Finally, they have fun noting several Virginia Democrats are quietly ending their congressional campaigns now that this year's elections will be held under the existing congressional map and not the egregiously gerrymandered map struck down earlier this month by the Virginia Supreme Court.
