Summary
Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they dissect the left's attempt to make socialism appealing by lying about what it really is, Democrats in Maine picking Graham Platner's replacement in the U.S. Senate race, President Trump urging Lindsey Graham's sister to run for a full term, and Vice President Vance and his wife welcoming their fourth child. First, they shake their heads as a socialist activist in New York City tells podcaster Nate Friedman that socialism is just about community and getting to know people by watching sports and having coffee together. Jim and Greg discuss how ridiculous this message is but how the right needs to be ready to confront it. Next, they react to Democrats in Maine rallying around Troy Jackson as their new U.S. Senate nominee. Jim and Greg explain how Jackson's ties to Graham Platner could be a problem and how Democrats there are facing tougher and tougher odds in a must-win race. Then, they push back on President Trump publicly urging Sen. Darline Graham Nordone to run for a full six-year term in the U.S. Senate. With all due respect to the new senator, Jim and Greg offer multiple reasons why they think this is a bad idea. Finally, they offer congratulations to Vice President JD Vance and his wife, Usha, for the healthy arrival of their new baby boy.
