We have a bipartisan agreement that makes sure that the debt ceiling is increased and we make good on our -- on our debt and our debt service, and it paves the way to fund the government this year and next. And the fact is is that this will make it easier for the entire Congress for the balance of this year and it'll make next year a whole lot smoother for the Congress as well.

Undisputed King of Stuff and Sink the Rising Sun author Jon Gabriel fills in for Jim on today's 3 Martini Lunch. Join Jon and Greg as they celebrate the political demise of Andrew Cuomo and shudder at the rise of Zohran Mamdani in New York City. They also focus on ICE taking concerning Iranian illegals into custody, and Nancy Pelosi raking in more millions through very suspicious investments.First, Jon and Greg react to far-left Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani's decisive win over disgraced former Governor Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic mayoral primary. They cheer Cuomo's collapse after scandals involving nursing home COVID deaths, sexual misconduct, and misuse of staff. But they are horrified that Mamdani, an avowed socialist, is now the heavy favorite to become mayor. They chronicle Mamdani's absurd campaign promises, his obvious antipathy towards Israel, and more.Next, they welcome news that ICE has detained 16 Iranian nationals illegally in the U.S. following the airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites. One of those nabbed is a former member of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps who admits connections to Hezbollah. Another was a sniper in the Iranian army. Jon says this is good work by Homeland Security to muzzle a threat before it starts.Finally, they dig into Nancy Pelosi's latest round of highly suspicious stock trades. The former House Speaker and her husband dumped shares in two major companies just before both were hit with federal investigations. While Pelosi isn't alone in ethically questionable investing, Jon argues she perfectly embodies why the American people do not trust their government.Please visit our great sponsors:It's free, online, and easy to start—no strings attached.

   My apologies in advance as I absolutely lose my mind over the once great Bruce Springsteen for turning his concert in England into a bash America revival.... before he plays a single note.  It's literally how he kicked off his tour and I'm really, really mad.    We'll turn it into a Fun Friday as the Royals celebrate their World Series' wins this weekend.      The House Speaker in Kansas says they are two weeks away from announcing they have approved STAR bond contracts with the Royals and the Chiefs.  What exactly does that mean?    Missouri sports betting is set to begin December 1 which is a total embarrassment.  What's wrong with September 1?    And our Song of the Week reminds us of something Springsteen would have done.  It's by The Killers and it's words are haunting about a real problem in small town America that only Donald Trump can solve.   And everyone knows it.
