This conversation was originally recorded for Modi's podcast And Here's Modi (episode #106), where Uri appeared as a guest with Arthur Luxenberg. We're honored to share it here with Modi's permission. What unfolds is a funny, heartfelt, and deeply human dialogue about fearless communication, self-acceptance, and the power of belief. Follow @modi_live and tune-in @ahm_podcast See everything Modi: https://modilive.com/ - The voice you're trying to fix might just be the one the world most needs to hear. Every pause, every stumble, every moment of silence can hold a lesson in courage. And when someone — maybe a mother, a teacher, or a grandmother — believes in you before you believe in yourself, that belief can rewrite the entire story of who you become. In this powerful conversation, Uri Schneider joins world-famous comedian Modi Rosenfeld and renowned trial attorney Arthur Luxenberg to explore how two kids who grew up stuttering learned to speak fearlessly: one on stage, the other in the courtroom. Together, they open up about the emotional and practical realities of overcoming stuttering, the lifelong process of finding your voice, and the courage it takes to keep showing up, even when words don't come easily. Today's episode is a little different than usual. It was originally recorded for Modi Rosenfeld's podcast And Here's Modi (episode #106), where Uri appeared as a guest. What unfolds is a funny, heartfelt, and deeply human dialogue about fearless communication, self-acceptance, and the power of belief. The conversation also features a remarkable story about Uri's father, Dr. Phil Schneider, and his sacred encounters with the Lubavitcher Rebbe — a profound reminder that communication isn't only about words; it's about presence, connection, and honoring the dignity behind every voice. This episode is a reminder that our voice is never the problem. Our belief in it is. Keep talking. Keep listening. And keep transcending. In this episode on the power of belief, we discuss: Why overcoming stuttering isn't about perfect speech, but it's about being heard The four pillars of Uri's Transcending Stuttering framework: self-knowledge, self-adjustment, self-acceptance, and self-advocacy The incredible story of Dr. Phil Schneider's speech therapy work with the Lubavitcher Rebbe after his stroke How belief from one person can change the entire trajectory of a child's life What comedians and trial attorneys can teach us about fearless communication Practical do's and don'ts for supporting a child who stutters, without shame or pressure TIMESTAMPS 00:00 – Introduction: The Fear We All Share and the Power of Belief 00:01:46 – Meet Modi Rosenfeld and Arthur Luxenberg: Two Kids Who Stuttered and Found Their Voice 00:03:45 – The Story Behind Schneider Speech and the Meaning of “Transcending Stuttering” 00:05:41 – Why Overcoming Stuttering Is About Talking More, Not Less 00:07:33 – From Silence to Self-Expression: Arthur's Journey and His Grandmother's Influence 00:12:31 – The Sacred Encounter: Dr. Phil Schneider and the Lubavitcher Rebbe 00:19:59 – What the Rebbe Taught About Dignity, Connection, and Communication Beyond Words 00:21:29 – The Four Pillars of the Transcending Stuttering Framework 00:26:40 – How Comedy, Courtrooms, and Courage Shape Fearless Communicators 00:38:28 – Practical Do's and Don'ts for Supporting People Who Stutter 00:44:56 – Why Belief Can Change a Life and How to Keep Talking Even When It's Hard 00:56:45 – Closing Reflections: The World Needs to Hear Your Voice ABOUT THE GUEST: MODI ROSENFELD Voted one of the top 10 comedians in New York City by The Hollywood Reporter, Modi Rosenfeld is one of the comedy circuit's most sought after performers.

And for the world to learn to listen.” “The danger of stuttering is less about the words and sounds getting stuck.

That's the way we're made.” ABOUT THE HOST Uri Schneider, M.A. CCC -SLP is co-founder and leader at Schneider Speech; creator and host of Transcending Stuttering; and former faculty at the University of California, Riverside School of Medicine.

News and Updates: Waymo begins robotaxi testing in New York City, deploying up to eight vehicles in Manhattan and Brooklyn with safety drivers until Sept. 2025. While Alphabet hails it as a milestone, critics like former mayor Bill de Blasio and union leaders slam the move as unsafe and job-killing. DOT insists safety rules will keep pedestrians protected. Waymo is eyeing Dallas, DC, and Miami for 2026 after logging 10M+ rides nationwide. IRS offers EV buyers last-minute relief ahead of the Sept. 30 sunset of the $7,500 federal tax credit under Trump's Big Beautiful Bill. Buyers only need a signed contract and payment in place by the deadline—delivery can come later. Newly eligible models for 2025 include Tesla Cybertruck, Kia EV6/EV9, Hyundai Ioniq 5/9, and Cadillac Vistiq. Losers include Rivian, Nissan Leaf, VW ID.4, and Chevy Bolt. Melania Trump is rebranded the “First Lady of Technology” by the NY Post, launching the Presidential AI Challenge for K-12 students. Inspired by her own use of a deepfake to narrate her audiobook, she says AI can “ignite innovation” in schools. The contest offers up to $10,000 prizes and national recognition in June 2026. Critics point to risks of kids bonding with AI chatbots—72% of teens already use them, some with disturbing outcomes. Data centers face growing backlash over water use. A Lawrence Berkeley Lab report warns U.S. facilities consumed 17B gallons of cooling water in 2023, projected to double or quadruple by 2028. Google and Meta disclosed that ~95% of their water use comes from data centers. Communities in the Great Lakes, Texas, and abroad are raising alarms as companies eye water-stressed regions to build AI server farms. Google shares first-ever environmental footprint of Gemini AI prompts. A single text query uses the energy of watching TV for 9 seconds, five drops of water, and emits 0.03g of CO₂—33x more efficient than last year thanks to software and renewable energy. However, the report excludes image/video generation and AI training. DOE projects U.S. data centers could eat up to 12% of electricity by 2028. Bloomberg warns AI is draining water in drought zones. Roughly two-thirds of new U.S. data centers since 2022 are in high water-stress areas, including Texas and Arizona. A 100MW facility consumes 2M liters daily—equal to 6,500 households. Microsoft and OpenAI are experimenting with closed-loop and immersion cooling, but most of the industry still relies on water-intensive evaporative cooling. Protests have erupted in Chile, the Netherlands, and Uruguay over water use.

Curtis Sliwa, Republican candidate for Mayor of New York City, joins Sid live in-studio to discuss Bill de Blasio, calling him the worst in New York's history and blasting his support of Zohran Mamdani, whom Sliwa brands as de Blasio's “protégé” and a danger to the city. He argues that Mamdani's social-worker approach to crime mirrors failed progressive policies, while Sliwa positions himself as the only true law-and-order candidate. He also slams Eric Adams for fleeing responsibility and Cuomo for avoiding accountability, pledging that if elected mayor he will clean up the city, restore safety, and even prosecute de Blasio and Chirlane McCray for alleged misuse of funds.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four Tuesday takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Code Switching Clay and Buck dive into the political and cultural landscape shaping the first fall of the Trump 2.0 presidency, highlighting the ongoing resistance from federal judges against the administration’s policies. The hosts criticize what they describe as partisan judicial activism, particularly rulings that attempt to block President Trump’s constitutional authority—such as deploying the National Guard in Los Angeles during immigration-related unrest. They emphasize how these decisions are often overturned by higher courts, including the Supreme Court, reinforcing Trump’s legal standing. The show also covers a controversial case involving 76 unaccompanied Guatemalan children who were blocked from being reunited with their families in Guatemala by a federal judge. Clay and Buck frame this as an example of how judicial overreach is obstructing humanitarian efforts and immigration reform under Trump 2.0. Call in the Guard! A deep dive into the escalating crisis of urban crime in America, with a sharp focus on cities like Chicago, Washington D.C., and Memphis. They highlight the Trump administration’s proactive stance on law and order, praising President Trump’s efforts to reduce violent crime and carjackings while exposing the political resistance from Democrat leaders who, they argue, are failing to protect their constituents. The conversation centers around the staggering statistic that 50 people were shot in Chicago over Labor Day weekend, prompting Clay and Buck to question why Democratic officials like Mayor Brandon Johnson oppose federal assistance, including National Guard deployment, to restore safety. They contrast Johnson’s slogan-heavy rhetoric with more pragmatic voices like Morning Joe’s Joe Scarborough, who surprisingly called for bipartisan cooperation with Trump to address crime in Illinois. The hosts also revisit the controversial remarks of Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, who suggested that increased policing would lead to too many arrests of black and brown individuals. Clay and Buck challenge this logic, emphasizing that the real victims of unchecked crime are often minorities living in high-crime neighborhoods. They argue that the true measure of safety is whether women and children can walk or jog freely in their communities without fear. Commie Mamdani The New York City mayoral race, scrutinizing the candidacy of Zohran Mamdani, a self-described democratic socialist. They dissect the New York Times’ attempt to downplay his ideology and warn that his proposed policies—like government-run grocery stores—could devastate the city’s economy and infrastructure. The hosts debate whether Mamdani is a true ideologue or simply an inexperienced politician who may struggle to implement his radical agenda. The segment also includes reflections on past NYC mayors like Rudy Giuliani, Michael Bloomberg, and Bill de Blasio, comparing their leadership styles and impact on crime. Clay and Buck argue that Bloomberg’s business acumen and Giuliani’s law enforcement background made them effective leaders, while de Blasio’s progressive policies contributed to the city’s decline. Doesn't Have to be This Way Clay and Buck scrutinize Chicago’s violent crime epidemic, where Governor JB Pritzker dodges questions about the city’s safety following a weekend of 54 shootings and 7 deaths. Clay and Buck argue that President Trump’s deployment of the National Guard in Washington D.C. has proven effective, and they challenge Democrats to explain their resistance to similar measures in cities like Memphis, St. Louis, and New Orleans. The hosts dissect Mayor Brandon Johnson’s inflammatory rhetoric, including his call for citizens to “defend the land” against Trump’s law enforcement efforts. Clay and Buck criticize this as dangerous and historically inaccurate, noting that Chicago was not built by slaves or indigenous people, and that invoking such narratives undermines real solutions to crime. They emphasize the psychological deterrent effect of visible law enforcement and the success of plainclothes policing units in cities like New York. The conversation shifts to the broader political implications of Trump’s crime-fighting strategy, highlighting how Democrats are increasingly boxed into defending the indefensible. Clay and Buck argue that Trump’s actions are saving lives, even if those lives can’t be individually identified, and they call out the hypocrisy of Democrats who welcomed National Guard troops during COVID but now oppose them for public safety.

This is the 4PM All-Local update on Tuesday, Sept. 2.
Curtis Sliwa, Republican running for Mayor of New York City, joins Sid live in-studio to talk about the mayoral race and his concerns regarding his opponent Zohran Mamdani's fundraising sources, speculating on the involvement of 'dark money' from abroad. Sliwa highlights the significant differences in donor bases, emphasizing that most of his donations come from New Yorkers, while Mamdani's are largely from out-of-state. Sliwa also critiques the current state of New York City under the leadership of Mayor Eric Adams and former Mayor Bill de Blasio, calling for a return to better management and public safety. Additionally, he discusses potential future plans, including the appointment of Ray Kelly as police commissioner and the importance of meritocracy over DEI in city policies.

Rivka and Frank are joined by former New York City mayor Bill de Blasio to discuss the 1964 political thriller Seven Days in May. The three examine how this Cold War classic starring Kirk Douglas remains strikingly relevant in Trump's America, unpacking its themes of a divided nation, nuclear tensions, fragile peace treaties, and the threat of a military coup. For next week's movie, we'll be watching the 2009 bromance comedy I Love You, Man.
Andrew Cuomo launches a fiery attack on Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani over his rent-controlled apartment, sparking a heated feud with Bill de Blasio. The clash exposes hypocrisy claims, rent policy battles, and the high-stakes fight for New York City's political future.
On Friday's Mark Levin Show, NY AG Letitia James has been subpoenaed by the Justice Department as part of a grand jury investigation by the Albany US Attorney's Office, focusing on her $454 million civil fraud case against former President Donald Trump. This is fantastic; she's been politicizing her office for a long time. Jack Smith, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton along with Smith are all being looked at. This is equal justice, not retribution. Also, historian Andrew Roberts discusses how Winston Churchill, long criticized by the left, is now also a target of disdain from the far-right podcasters, ‘influencers' and their guests, challenging the established narrative that the U.S. and U.K. were morally justified in defeating the Third Reich. Later, Trump brokered a historic peace deal between Azerbaijan and Armenia, who have been at war for 35 years. The President also facilitated ceasefires between Congo and Rwanda, Cambodia and Thailand, and India and Pakistan. Efforts are underway to negotiate a Russia-Ukraine deal, with a meeting planned, though concerns remain about Putin's reliability, given his history of breaking agreements. Afterward, On Power explains that John Adams warned that democracies can become tyrannical without just laws, representation, divided powers, private property rights, and a virtuous populace. Liberty, as outlined in the Declaration of Independence, includes unalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Thomas Jefferson defined liberty as unobstructed action within the bounds of others' equal rights, emphasizing just laws to maintain order, though noting governments naturally encroach on liberty over time. Influenced by Locke, Jefferson saw law as a tool to promote freedom. Finally, Rep Bryon Donalds calls in to explains that he reintroduced the DC CRIMES Act to assert congressional control over Washington, D.C.'s sentencing policies, prohibiting local officials from altering sentencing laws and limiting leniency for young offenders. Law and order needs to be restored. He also explains that if NYC elects Zohran Mamdani if would be worse than Bill de Blasio. Mamdani is good on TikTok but he's an economic illiterate.

On paper, a thirty-three-year-old socialist would seem an unlikely contender for mayor of New York City. But Zohran Mamdani's campaign proved compelling enough to make him the front-runner to lead the largest city in America. On the first in a series of Critics at Large interview episodes, Naomi Fry talks with her fellow staff writer Eric Lach about the surprising protagonist of this year's mayoral race. Together, they contextualize Mamdani's persona within a long history of New York characters, from Batman to Bill de Blasio, and consider the hold these narratives have on observers within the city and beyond. “The history of New York City mayors is not a litany of successes and heroes. It's mostly fuck-ups and rogues,” Lach says. “Often, it's this tug-of-war between the machine and the reformer.”Read, watch, and listen with the critics:Zohran Mamdani's “Uganda Miss Me!

I was just 8 years old in 1971, when my family was notified of the tragic crash of his A-3 Skywarrior into the Gulf of Tonkin, off the Vietnam coast. The aircraft suffered mechanical failure and exploded on impact. According to one of his peers, the A-3 was nicknamed “the coffin” because of how difficult it was to get out of. Lieutenant Junior Grade DeBlasio, along with the pilot and another crewmember were listed as Reported Dead/Body Not Recovered. Lieutenant Junior Grade DeBlasio was from West Hempstead, New York. He received military training in the Reserve Officers program at Fordham University and underwent flight training in Pensacola, Florida. He was serving his second tour in Vietnam and was awarded the Vietnam Service Metal, Air Metal and the National Defense Service Metal. He was only 24 when he died. I remember my family being devastated, but it was never talked about. As a child, my uncle's death was shrouded in mystery. I would often sneak into his former bedroom to marvel at the shrine that was built to honor him. My mother and her younger brother, Joseph, are now Lieutenant Junior Grade DeBlasio's only surviving relatives. A[though the chances of recovering his remains are extremely unlikely, the Department of Defense continues to correspond with my family and offer their support. I'm told the Vietnamese Government is also assisting in the effort to recover the bodies of the 2300 Americans Missing in Action from the Vietnam War. I am comforted by the fact that he never had to endure the hostility others faced when returning from their service in Vietnam. Rest in peace Uncle Raymond. ________________________________________________________________ This Week’s VIC 4 VETS, Honored Veteran on NewsTalkSTL.With support from our friends at:Alamo Military Collectables, H.E.R.O.E.S.

The Relentless Patriot Scott LoBaido joins Sid for his weekly Wednesday morning hit to rant about conservative politics, art, and cultural hypocrisy. He criticizes mainstream artists and institutions for constantly mocking Christianity while never daring to critique Islam, calling it cowardly and hypocritical. LoBaido praises conservative activist Scott Presler for breaking stereotypes and energizing grassroots Republican movements, despite not fitting the “typical” conservative look. He also touches on his own provocative art pieces targeting Bill de Blasio and Eric Adams, and voices frustration with Jewish voters supporting politicians like Adams, whom he blames for rising antisemitism and violent crime. The segment closes with high energy and anticipation for a political rally that weekend, where LoBaido may make a surprise appearance. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This year's New York City mayoral primary delivered twists, upsets and a surprise victory that's redrawing the city's political landscape. To unpack the moment, seasoned strategist and key adviser Rebecca Katz joined NY1's Errol Louis for a wide-ranging conversation on strategy, authenticity and what it takes to win. Katz, whose track record includes advising Sens. John Fetterman and Ruben Gallego and former Mayor Bill de Blasio, reflects on the lessons of this campaign cycle and the unexpected rise of Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee for mayor. She broke down how issue-driven, community-rooted messaging continues to resonate with voters, drawing parallels to de Blasio's 2013 run. The conversation also explored the evolving tools of modern politics, including the need for Democrats to embrace social media, the underrated power of “fun” in campaigns and why showing up consistently for communities still matters more than ever.
Andrew Cuomo is still trying to matter.That's the clearest takeaway from his latest appearance — a campaign reboot so empty and unconvincing it bordered on parody. After blowing a 60-point lead in the Democratic primary for New York City mayor to Zohran Mamdani, Cuomo continues to operate as if he didn't just have — and squander — his best shot. It wasn't a close race. It wasn't an upset. It was a humiliation, and it made Mamdani a star. Cuomo didn't just lose; he handed the spotlight to the person who beat him.What's most baffling is Cuomo's unwillingness to run as anything other than himself. His latest ad is a watered-down version of Mamdani's campaign. Mamdani talked to people across the city about affordability — and even if his ideas were divisive, they were ideas. Cuomo's pitch? Affordability. No vision. No contrast. Just a stale echo of a message he neither originated nor sharpened. If Cuomo wanted to offer something Mamdani couldn't, he had options. He could've leaned into public safety, into the fear felt by many New Yorkers. He could've campaigned from a synagogue, framed himself as the candidate who would safeguard Jewish communities, and tied Mamdani to the left wing of the party in a way that forced a choice. Instead, we got nothing.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.There's no attack line, no clear point of differentiation. Cuomo could've said: this is de Blasio 2.0. He could've framed Mamdani as a performance artist backed by a failed administration. He didn't. Instead, he gave voters a lifeless, mimicry-driven campaign with no policy edge. And that brings us to what he is actually running on: his name. For a sliver of voters — the “Cuomosexuals” who liked Mario, liked Andrew, maybe even liked Chris — that might be enough. But for everyone else, Cuomo looks like a man clinging to a legacy that no longer serves him.This also highlights why “Stop ‘X' Candidate” movements almost never work. Ego ruins coordination. Eric Adams isn't dropping out — he's the sitting mayor. Cuomo still acts like running is beneath him. Curtis Sliwa isn't a serious enough contender to pull votes in a general election. And despite the specter of Mamdani's ideology frightening national Democrats, no consensus candidate has emerged. If there were a moderate Republican hedge fund type — pro-choice, socially liberal — that person could shake things up. But they don't exist here. Not this cycle.Ultimately, national Republicans are thrilled. They see Mamdani as a gift. Mike Johnson and Donald Trump will seize on his victory to cast New York as the face of socialism in America — a symbol of excess, decline, and failed progressivism. It's a setup for the midterms. They're ready to prey on any misstep, real or imagined. And unless something changes fast, the ‘Stop Zohran' movement isn't materializing. Not because it couldn't — but because no one in the race knows how to make it happen. Cuomo had his chance. He whiffed.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:02:37 - Cuomo Stays in NYC Race00:11:36 - Update00:12:05 - Inflation Report00:15:26 - Recissions Package00:18:45 - Israel00:19:55 - Interview with Emily Jashinsky00:59:15 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

En las primarias demócratas para la alcaldía de Nueva York que se celebraron la semana pasada, Zohran Mamdani, un joven diputado estatal, ha derrotado de forma sorprendente a Andrew Cuomo, una figura histórica del partido con una larga carrera política. Cuomo, que fue gobernador de Nueva York, fiscal general y secretario de vivienda en la época de Bill Clinton, se consideraba imbatible, le apoyaba la cúpula demócrata y disponía de las conexiones familiares adecuadas. Pero se cruzó en su camino Mamdani, hijo de inmigrantes ugandeses de origen indio y situado en el ala más a la izquierda del partido. Hasta hace poco Mamdani era un completo desconocido más allá de su distrito de Queens. Representa una izquierda más radical que la del demócrata típico neoyorquino, por lo general favorable al mercado y al crecimiento económico. Apoyado por figuras de ámbito nacional como Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, propone medidas como transporte público gratuito, congelación de alquileres, supermercados municipales y mayores impuestos a los ricos, ideas que asustan a las clases media y alta de la ciudad. Su origen como inmigrante, su educación privilegiada en la órbita de la Universidad de Columbia (donde su padre es profesor) y su activismo propalestino, que genera desconfianza entre la comunidad judía, lo convierten en una figura polémica y divisiva. Su victoria representa un rechazo al centrismo demócrata y a la política tradicional, encarnada en Nueva York por Andrew Cuomo. La ciudad y el Estado son bastiones demócratas, allí el candidato del partido suele ganar con facilidad, como lo demuestra la historia reciente con alcaldes como Bill de Blasio y Eric Adams, o la gobernadora en ejercicio, Kathy Hochul. Pero Mamdani no lo tendrá tan fácil como seguramente se espera. Habrá tres candidaturas dirigidas al votante demócrata: la de Mamdani, la de Cuomo, que no se resigna, y la del actual alcalde, Eric Adams. Estas dos últimas se presentan como independientes. Esto seguramente beneficie al republicano Curtis Sliwa, un candidato flojo a quien Adams barrió en 2021. Las elecciones municipales, previstas para el 4 de noviembre, serán un desafío para Mamdani, que se está postulando ya como el antídoto contra Donald Trump y el movimiento MAGA. Para Trump, sin embargo, el ascenso de un candidato demócrata tan radical es un sueño hecho realidad ya que Mandami representa mejor que ningún otro la caricatura que él hace de los demócratas. El éxito de Mamdani se debe tanto a su talento con los nuevos medios, como a la frustración de mucha gente con la gestión demócrata en las grandes ciudades estadounidenses en las que el coste de la vida, los alquileres y las tasas de criminalidad son más altos que en el resto del país. Aunque Mamdani está sabiendo capitalizar este descontento, sus propuestas podrían empeorar aún más los problemas. Su victoria, celebrada por algunos como un soplo de aire fresco, es vista por los republicanos como una oportunidad. Donald Trump no ha tardado en calificarle de lunático comunista y dentro del partido demócrata cruzan los dedos para que no sea peor el remedio que la enfermedad.

First, Bill de Blasio, former mayor of New York City, explains why he does not think Andrew Cuomo should be the next mayor of New York City, plus responds to the New York Times editorial that blamed his administration for many of the city's problems, then New York State Assemblymember Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn (D-42) chair of the Kings County Democratic County Committee, offers her reasoning for why she has endorsed Andrew Cuomo to be the next mayor.
Early voting in New York City's mayoral primary race is well underway, and the rest of the country is watching. That's because this year's publicly funded city election is a battle for the future of the Democratic party, and the two frontrunners — a disgraced, corporate-backed Democrat and an upstart, young progressive — reveal a political schism that stretches far beyond the Big Apple.Today on Lever Time, David Sirota speaks with one of the race's surprising front-runners, democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani, to explore how he's using campaign finance reforms and other innovative approaches to take on New York's former governor, Andrew Cuomo. David also talks with former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio to understand what's truly at stake in the election
When it comes to mayoral primaries, few people know the terrain better than Bill de Blasio. As the 109th mayor of New York City, he served two terms from 2014 to 2021, the last Democratic mayor since Ed Koch to serve two terms in office. De Blasio joined NY1's Errol Louis to discuss his thoughts on the 2025 Democratic primary. They also discussed the importance of a clear message and how he looks back on his relationship with the media.

Join Jim and Greg for the Monday edition of the 3 Martini Lunch as they assess Israel's military successes and Iran's desperate call for a ceasefire. They are also astounded at the New York Times' use of free market arguments in their plea for voters to reject Zohran Mamdani's mayoral bid. Additionally, they are horrified at the murder of one lawmaker in Minnesota and the serious wounding of another.First, Jim and Greg highlight Israel's dominance in the skies over Iran, eliminating more high-ranking officials and hitting strategic targets. While the Iron Dome has proven effective, a few Iranian missiles have broken through, causing Israeli casualties. Meanwhile, The Wall Street Journal reports that Iran is begging for a ceasefire—one Israel appears unlikely to entertain.Next, they're stunned that the New York Times is urging NYC residents to reject Zohran Mamdani for mayor, especially as they rip Mamdani's socialist calls for rent control and government-run grocery stores. The NYT editorial board also blasts Mamdani for calling Bill de Blasio the best New York City mayor in his lifetime. But will this make any difference? Would Andrew Cuomo be any better? And why is the Times really doing this?Finally, they react to the horrific shootings of two Minnesota state lawmakers on Saturday morning by a man impersonating a police officer. Former State House Speaker Melissa Hortman was murdered, along with her husband. State Senator John Hoffman and his wife were severely wounded. Information about the shooter does not paint a consistent political ideology, but Jim and Greg are grateful he is now in custody.Please visit our great sponsors:No missed calls, no missed customers with OpenPhone.
