Summary
Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they focus on AOC trying to giggle away the left's repressive and woke lurch since 2020, Abdul El-Sayed refusing to disavow Hasan Piker and dismissing Piker's comment that the U.S. deserved 9/11, Wisconsin Democrats frantically trying to defeat Francesca Hong in tomorrow's primary, and the passing of Dukes of Hazzard actor-turned-Georgia Rep Ben Jones. 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 shake their heads as El-Sayed refuses to distance himself from Hasan Piker and labels Piker's contention that we deserved 9/11 as dumb or out of context. Jim and Greg also consider how much this issue will hurt Piker and why these comments are not the same as most other issues. Then, they thoroughly enjoy the desperate attempt by Wisconsin Democrats to do whatever they can to stop Francesca Hong from being the party's nominee for governor. Jim suspects it won't work because the Dem electorate is more radical than even a few years ago. Greg says this is a problem of the Dems' own creation. Finally, they note the passing of former Georgia Rep. Ben Jones, who is best known as Cooter Davenport on The Dukes of Hazzard . Jim and Greg remember his brief time in Congress, his rivalry with Newt Gingrich, and the greatness of The Dukes of Hazzard .
