Join Jim and Greg on 3 Martini Lunch as they break down GOP victories in two Florida House special elections, a tough Republican loss in Wisconsin's Supreme Court race, Sen. Cory Booker's 25-hour filibuster, and a potential 2026 California governor's race showdown between two Biden administration alumni.First, they're relieved to see Republicans comfortably hold both open House seats in Florida. However, they wince as Democrats celebrate an easy win in Wisconsin's Supreme Court race, securing a liberal majority. While the left downplays the Florida results, Jim and Greg remind listeners that Democrats previously claimed they had a shot at flipping at least one seat. Meanwhile, Republicans must learn key lessons from Wisconsin ahead of the midterms.Next, they analyze New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker's record-breaking 25-hour floor speech, which was long but was not aimed at blocking any legislation or nomination. While Democrats and the media hype it as energizing for their base, it's long term impact is likely minimal at best. Jim and Greg do marvel at Booker's endurance and explain why he will probably benefit from this more than anyone.Finally, they examine former Health and Human Services Sec. Xavier Becerra's entry into the 2026 California governor's race. While some candidates say they would defer if former Vice President Kamala Harris entered the race, Becerra insists he's staying in. Does this signal Harris won't run? Or could it set up a fierce showdown between former Biden administration allies?Please visit our great sponsors:No missed calls, no missed customers with OpenPhone.

New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker is going full marathon mode, clocking over 13 hours and continuing on the Senate floor, torching the Trump-Musk administration's agenda. Booker took to the mic at 7:00 p.m. Monday and hasn't let up. The 55-year-old Democrat is dragging receipts and fury, ripping into spending cuts by Republicans, their attacks on immigration, book bans, and what he calls a complete disregard for the Constitution. “This administration has not only overseen in 71 days, a rise in inflation, a rise in the cost of groceries, a lowering of people's 401Ks, with the stock market going down. They are already hurting people on their basic delivery of their services.” This is a political marathon rooted in the legacy of John Lewis' “Good Trouble.” Senate rules say if no time limits are set, a senator can speak indefinitely as long as they can stay standing and keep talking.

She then tore into Republican Donald Trump, a sharp shift from the 2016 convention speech in which she told her party, “When they go low, we go high.” Barack Obama, the first Black president in U.S. history, insisted the nation is ready to elect Harris, who is of Jamaican and Indian heritage and would be the nation’s first female president.

Mayorkas claims that he has 100% confidence in Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle, despite the agency's failure to stop the would-be Trump assassin from shooting. Greg recalls one of Trump's noteworthy lines from the debate: what does it take, in this administration, to get fired?Finally, they review Biden's NBC interview, in which he makes no effort to walk back the incendiary rhetoric he has used against Trump, and once again showcases his mental decline.

Today, Jim and Greg toast three crazy martinis to our chaotic political landscape. They discuss the ridiculous theory Laurence Tribe is pushing, which states that Donald Trump's recent convictions means Hillary should have been the winner of the 2016 election; Hillary Clinton's embarrassing attempt to politicize D-Day; and the surprising party switch of Sen. Bob Menendez, which comes with an even bigger surprise behind it.First, they delve into legendary Harvard law professor Laurence Tribe promulgating the idea that Donald Trump's felony convictions invalidate the results of the 2016 election, and his accompanying lament of all that could have been had Hillary Clinton ascended to the presidency instead. Jim gives Tribe credit for pushing the least plausible argument for doubting the results of the 2016 election, pointing out that, long before this recent conviction, voters were aware of Trump's long record of dubious moral behavior.Next, they roll their eyes at Hillary Clinton's D-Day tweet, which compares those who vote to "save democracy" to the military heroes of 1944. They point out that voting in a free country is very obviously not the same as risking your life in battle, and they observe that Democrats only value democracy insofar as it gets them the election results they want.Finally, they unpack New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez running as an independent, allegedly so that he can angle for a presidential pardon no matter who is president after the next election. Jim and Greg are a little dubious as to whether this plan will be successful.Please visit our great sponsor:Omaha Steakshttps://omahasteaks.comVisit OmahaSteaks.com to get the Deluxe Father's Day Gift for just $89.99 plus 4 Free Burgers with code MARTINI.

It's a Sirius problem. A crime scene specialist is probing the forensics behind how a murder could be investigated in outer space — something he says is “inevitable” in the coming years by way of space tourism. In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Tuesday, Michael Cohen testified Monday that Donald Trump ordered him to pay off porn star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election to silence a sex scandal — in key testimony for the prosecution that hinges on whether jurors will believe the convicted felon. In the federal corruption case against New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez, not a single juror was chosen. And in Baltimore, Crews set off a chain of carefully placed explosives Monday to break down the largest remaining span of the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, and with a boom and a splash, the mangled steel trusses came crashing down into the river below.

This week, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott surprised many by visiting New York City — a city that he targeted last year with numerous busloads of asylum seekers. Speaking at a breakfast event at the Yale Club in Manhattan, Abbott largely minimized the city's problem while blaming the migrant crisis on President Joe Biden.

After that, New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez is in a heap of trouble as he was brought in on bribery charges in a Manhattan courtroom. The senator is accused of pocketing bribes of cash and gold bars.

The North's official Korean Central News Agency said Wednesday that authorities have finished their questioning of Pvt. Travis King. It said that he confessed to illegally entering the North and quoted him criticizing the U.S. Verifying the authenticity of the comments attributed to King is impossible. The agency did not say when authorities plan to expel King or to where. The White House, the State Department and the Pentagon did not have any immediate comment on the report. LOS ANGELES (AP) — The strike by Hollywood screenwriters is over. Leaders of the writers union declared their nearly five-month-old strike over Tuesday after board members approved a contract agreement with studios. The governing boards of the eastern and western branches of the Writers Guild of America both voted to accept the deal, and afterward declared that the strike would be over and writers would be free to work starting at 12:01 a.m. Wednesday. The vote came after numerous writers joined striking actors on picket lines. The writers deal brought renewed optimism to the pickets. There are currently no negotiations set between the actors and the alliance of studios, streaming services and producers. PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Police and witnesses say groups of teenagers swarmed into stores in Philadelphia's Center City, stuffing plastic bags with merchandise and fleeing. Police made several arrests.

No injuries were immediately reported. NEW YORK (AP) — Target says it's closing nine stores in four states, including one in New York City's East Harlem neighborhood, and three in the San Francisco Bay Area. It says theft and organized retail crime have threatened the safety of its workers and customers. The closings will be effective Oct. 21 and will also include three stores in Portland, Oregon and two in Seattle. The Minneapolis retailer said Tuesday it will offer affected workers the opportunity to transfer to other stores. The store closings account for just a fraction of the 1,900 stores Target operates nationwide. But they underscore the challenges that retailers face in reducing theft in stores as they wrestle with protecting their workers and customers while trying to serve the community. SIMI VALLEY, Calif. (AP) — Republicans are meeting for their second presidential debate as top rivals seek to blunt the momentum of Donald Trump. The former president is so confident that he will continue to cruise through the party's primary that he's again forgoing sharing a stage with his competitors. Seven GOP White House candidates are squaring off at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in California for a debate Wednesday sponsored by Fox Business. Rather than attend, Trump will be in Detroit, delivering a primetime speech that will compete for airtime with the debate and take place before a crowd of current and former union members. DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iran is claiming that it has successfully launched an imaging satellite into space. The state-run IRNA news agency is quoting the country's communication minister as saying the Noor-3 satellite had been put in orbit 450 kilometers, or 280 miles, above the Earth's surface. There was no immediate acknowledgment from Western officials of the launch or of the satellite being put into orbit. Iran has had a series of failed launches in recent years. The United States has alleged that Iran's satellite launches defy a U.N. Security Council resolution and has called on Tehran to undertake no activity related to ballistic missiles capable of delivering nuclear weapons. BLACK MOUNTAIN, N.C. (AP) — The National Park Service says a South Carolina woman died after falling from a scenic overlook along the Blue Ridge Parkway in western North Carolina. The park service says dispatchers received a report of a woman who fell down a cliff at Glassmine Falls Overlook on Saturday afternoon. Rescuers found the woman about 150 feet below the overlook. Officials identified the woman as 61-year-old Nancy Sampson of Greer, South Carolina, and confirmed she had succumbed to injuries from her fall. The parkway known for its views of the Appalachian Highlands stretches 469 miles through Virginia and North Carolina. In sports: The Brewers clinch the NL Central, the NL wild card race remains right, the Orioles win a game but lose a legend, and the Rangers maintain their lead in the AL West despite a loss. BALTIMORE (AP) — Hall of Fame third baseman Brooks Robinson, whose deft glovework and folksy manner made him one of the most beloved and accomplished athletes in Baltimore history, has died. He was 86. The Orioles announced his death in a joint statement with Robinson's family. The statement did not say how Robinson died. Coming of age before the free agent era, Robinson spent his entire 23-year career with the Orioles. He almost single-handedly helped Baltimore defeat Cincinnati in the 1970 World Series and homered in Game 1 of the Orioles' 1966 sweep of the Los Angeles Dodgers for their first crown. NEW YORK (AP) — Breanna Stewart won the WNBA's Most Valuable Player award for the second time in her career Tuesday in a very close race. There were only 13 points separating Stewart from second-place finisher Alyssa Thomas of Connecticut and last year's MVP, A'ja Wilson of Las Vegas. Stewart received 446 points. Thomas had 439 points and Wilson received 433 points. All the WNBA awards are voted on by a 60-person national media panel and had them vote for their top five choices for the MVP award. On the version of Hot off the Wire posted Sept. 26 at 4 p.m. CT: VAN BUREN TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) — President Joe Biden has joined picketing United Auto Workers in Michigan on the 12th day of their strike against major carmakers. It's a demonstration of support for organized labor unparalleled in presidential history. He told workers Tuesday to “stick with it." He exchanged fist bumps with grinning workers a day before former President Donald Trump makes his own visit to meet with UAW members. Biden has repeatedly sided with the UAW during the strike. Strikers chanted “no deals, no wheels” and “no pay, no parts” as Biden arrived at the General Motors distribution center west of Detroit. PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Relatives of a man shot and killed by a Philadelphia police officer during a traffic stop for erratic driving are stunned and distraught by a judge's dismissal of all charges. Relatives of Eddie Irizarry said Tuesday after the ruling that police should not need to fatally shoot someone just because they speed or act irrationally. The judge dismissed a murder count and other charges against Officer Mark Dial after watching police bodycam video of the traffic stop and shooting. The defense asserted that Dial acted in self-defense when he fired through the driver's side window of Irizarry's sedan in August. WASHINGTON (AP) — Democratic Sen. Cory Booker is calling on fellow New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez to resign. Booker said in a statement Tuesday that the federal bribery charges against Menendez, also a Democrat, contain ”shocking allegations of corruption and specific, disturbing details of wrongdoing.” Booker's statement comes as a growing number of Democratic senators are calling for the three-term senator to step aside. Menendez, the chairman of the powerful Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and his wife Nadine were indicted on Friday, accused of using his position to aid the authoritarian government of Egypt and also to pressure federal prosecutors to drop a case against a friend. The Federal Trade Commission and 17 state attorneys general have filed an antitrust lawsuit against Amazon. They allege the e-commerce behemoth uses its position in the marketplace to inflate prices on and off Amazon, overcharge sellers and stifle competition. The complaint is the result of a yearslong investigation into Amazon's businesses and one of the most significant legal challenges brought against the company in its nearly 30-year history. The agency and states that joined the lawsuit are asking the court to issue a permanent injunction that they say would prohibit Amazon from engaging in its unlawful conduct and restore competition. Amazon says the FTC is “wrong on the facts and the law." SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California Gov. Gavin Newsom has signed a law that will raise taxes on guns and ammunition. The federal government already taxes guns at 10% or 11%. The law Newsom signed on Tuesday adds an 11% tax on top of that. The money will pay for things like security improvements in public schools and violence prevention programs. The law takes effect July 1, 2024. Newsom also signed laws to overhaul the state's rules for carrying concealed weapons and require semiautomatic pistols to have microstamping technology. The California Rifle and Pistol Association has promised to challenge California's new tax in court. LOS ANGELES (AP) — Striking actors have voted to expand their walkout to include the lucrative video game market, a step that could put new pressure on Hollywood studios to make a deal with the performers who provide voices and stunts for games. The Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Radio and Television Artists announced the move late Monday, saying that 98% of its members voted to go on strike against video game companies if ongoing negotiations are not successful. The announcement came ahead of more talks planned for Tuesday. Acting work in video games can include voice, motion capture and stunts. WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court is allowing work to proceed on a new Alabama congressional map with greater representation for Black voters. The new districts could help Democrats trying to flip control of the House of Representatives. The justices Tuesday rejected Alabama's plea to retain Republican-drawn lines turned down by a lower court. The justices left in place an order directing a court-appointed special master to propose new lines for the state with a second district where Black voters constitute a majority or close to it. The lead plaintiff in the redistricting case calls the ruling a “victory for all Alabamians.” Federal lawsuits over state and congressional districts are pending in Georgia, Louisiana and Texas. WASHINGTON (AP) — A political adviser to Rudy Giuliani is slamming Hunter Biden's lawsuit against the former mayor. Hunter Biden sued Giuliani and another attorney on Tuesday, claiming the two wrongly accessed and shared his personal data after obtaining it from the owner of a computer repair shop. Giuliani adviser Ted Goodman says it was false to claim Giuliani manipulated the laptop hard drive, but that he was “not surprised ... considering the sordid material and potential evidence of crimes on that thing.” The lawsuit is the latest in a new strategy by Hunter Biden to strike back against Republican allies of Donald Trump who have traded and passed around his private data including purported emails and embarrassing images in their effort to discredit President Joe Biden. Lawyers for former President Donald Trump are slamming prosecutors' request for a narrow gag order in his 2020 election subversion case in Washington, calling it an effort to “unconstitutionally silence” his political speech. Trump's attorneys in court papers filed late Monday urge U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan to deny the proposal to bar the Republican ex-president from making inflammatory and intimidating comments about witnesses, lawyers and other people involved in the criminal case. Special counsel Jack Smith's team in seeking the order pointed to what it calls a pattern of “false and inflammatory” statements from Trump about the case. NEW YORK (AP) — A former aide in Donald Trump's White House says chief of staff Mark Meadows burned papers so often after the 2020 election his wife complained his suits smelled “like a bonfire.” Cassidy Hutchinson describes the burning papers in a book being released Tuesday. The Associated Press obtained a copy of the book, titled “Enough.” Hutchinson was a White House staffer in her 20s who worked for Meadows. Hutchinson testified on national television about the inner workings of the White House leading up to and including the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. A Meadows lawyer hasn't responded to a request for comment. NEW YORK (AP) — Taylor Swift's trip to watch the Kansas City Chiefs' Travis Kelce didn't just have the internet talking nonstop. Following the 12-time Grammy Award winner's appearance at Arrowhead Stadium, jersey sales for the All-Pro tight-end seemingly skyrocketed. According to sportswear and fan merchandise company Fanatics, Kelce saw a nearly 400% increase in sales the same day that Swift went to watch the Chiefs. Kelce did not speak to reporters afterward, but he was spotted leaving Arrowhead with Swift by his side. Swift, who is currently on a break from her Eras tour, has always been reluctant to discuss her personal life in public — but rumors have been flying about the popstar and the pro football player in recent months. LOS ANGELES (AP) — Actor David McCallum, who became a teen heartthrob in the hit series “The Man From U.N.C.L.E.” in the 1960s and was the eccentric medical examiner in the popular “NCIS” 40 years later, has died. He was 90. "The Man From “U.N.C.L.E” drew mixed reviews but eventually caught on, particularly with teenage girls attracted by McCallum's good looks and enigmatic, intellectual character. McCallum's work with “U.N.C.L.E.” brought him two Emmy nominations, and he got a third as an educator struggling with alcoholism in a 1969 Hallmark Hall of Fame drama called “Teacher, Teacher.” McCallum returned to television in 2003 in another series with an agency known by its initials — CBS' “NCIS.” —The Associated Press About this program Host Terry Lipshetz is a senior producer for Lee Enterprises.

New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez and his wife, Nadine, will be indicted on bribery charges after a search at the Democratic Senator's home uncovered $100,000 in gold bars and almost $500,000 in cash. A previous indictment against Menendez resulted in a hung jury six years ago, making him the only sitting Senator in U.S. history to be indicted for separate criminal charges. The Sekulow team discusses the potential outcomes of the Menendez trial, President Joe Biden's controversial request for funding the Ukraine war, and Special Counsel Jack Smith's checkered attempts at past investigations.

What if we took monopoly out of our daily diets? Busting the power of abusive and arrogant food monopolists would be of such immediate benefit to the bottom lines of farmers, consumers, and workers that even middle-of-the-road congressional Democrats and a few Republicans are turning into Rooseveltian trustbusters. New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker, for example, usually a reliable defender of corporate interests, sees the connection between inner-city food deprivation and the consolidation of power by industrial farm and food profiteers, which he says, “are contrary to our very idea of farming in our country.” Working with progressive grassroots groups like Food & Water Action and Family Farm Action, Booker is sponsoring “The Farm System Reform Act,” a comprehensive proposal to overhaul major parts of the broken food structure. Included in his bill are strong, overdue provisions to phase out the monstrous system of CAFOs (confined Animal Feeding Operations) that are torturous hellholes for thousands of chickens, hogs, and other animals caged in each of these huge factories, which are also polluters of water, air, and rural communities. Rather than conventional liberal programs to treat the symptoms of monopoly, such progressive populist approaches begin to dismantle monopoly – and they represent our best chance of actually making life fairer for the majority of people. The good news is that much of the power to do this already exists. As investigative reporter Amy Swan writes in the January Washington Monthly, we don’t have to wait on recalcitrant Republicans and weak-kneed Dems in Congress to make progress. A tool shed of laws that were put in place during the past 100 years to counter monopoly power are still on the books. They’re stored in the Ag Department, FTC, FCC, SEC, Treasury, Justice, Federal Reserve, and so many other drawers of public power. Let’s put them to work!
