Welcome to Last Call, a look at the biggest stories Jim and Greg covered over the past week on the 3 Martini Lunch.This week, they discuss Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) endorsing Democrats in the midterm elections, an apparent terrorist attack by a pilot on a plane with many Israeli passengers, new research showing that social media short videos are damaging our brains, and the intensely negative ads about Sunday's Bears-Jets game.First, they have fun with the IRGC telling Americans to vote for Democrats. It also lies about the Iranian nuclear program and whines about being on the U.S. list of terrorist organizations. Jim says this would not be the first time terrorists or their sponsors injected themselves into a U.S. election.Next, they discuss Wednesday's breaking news of a FlyDubai flight that nearly crashed after a co-pilot allegedly stabbed the pilot and sent the plane into a dive before he was subdued by passengers, many of whom were Israeli. Then, they react to new research showing that short videos on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube shorts are damaging our brains and especially our memories. Jim discusses the value of sustained focus on tasks and Greg condemns the algorithms and our inability to put the phones down.Finally, they have fun with the fierce attack ads against the Bears and Jets heading into Sunday's game.Please visit our great sponsors:Trees.comGet additional 20% better plants and better growing at Trees.dom using code MARTINI at checkout.Visit https://Trees.com Now's the perfect time to plant - let's grow together.Human CoalitionIt only takes a monthly donation of $26 to create a life-saving moment.

Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch as they focus on why Republican Michele Tafoya has a real chance in the Minnesota Senate race, why Democrats will likely be disappointed in their efforts to score Senate upsets in deep red states, and Ken Paxton's comments about the GOP midterm convention. Plus, they react to a plot to attack the Texas State Capitol, and they unveil the latest attack ads ahead of Sunday's huge Bears-Jets game.First, they're cautiously hopeful that Michele Tafoya can actually win a U.S. Senate seat in Minnesota. Jim explains why Tafoya resonates well in a reliably Democratic state and which issues are hitting home for voters.Next, Jim takes us through the efforts of Democrats to take U.S. Senate seats in traditionally Republican states like Nebraska, South Carolina, and South Dakota, and he tells us why the GOP will most likely win in those places next month. Then, they react to the news of a planned attack on the Texas State Capitol being foiled just a day in advance. They also examine Texas GOP Senate candidate Ken Paxton's surprising take on the Republicans' midterm convention.Finally, the latest hard-hitting attack ads ahead of Sunday's Jets vs. Bears showdown.Please visit our great sponsors:Human Coalition It only takes a monthly donation of $26 to create a life-saving moment.

Jeff Sherman and Eric Lopkin take on the reported attempted hijacking of an Israel-bound flight, what it could mean for Israel, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the Abraham Accords, and growing questions about security in Britain and Europe. Then the debate turns home. The hosts challenge campus activism and identity politics, examine fears surrounding artificial intelligence, and dissect the political futures of Kamala Harris and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. They also tackle Senate battles over congressional insider trading restrictions and legislation aimed at preventing AI data-center energy costs from reaching consumers. Listen to Carnivore Radio now.
On Monday's Mark Levin Show, WJNO's Brian Mudd fills in for Mark. The release of five terrorism suspects in the UK less than two days after their arrest is a clear example of how the West is losing its way. Authorities say they are still trying to determine the suspects' motives, activities, and level of involvement in an alleged plot targeting a U.S. air base, yet they were released on bail under monitoring conditions. This reflects a broader problem of political correctness and a reluctance to directly address the role of Islamist extremism. Western societies have largely failed to recognize these trends of demographic changes in London, the growth of Muslim political representation in the United States, and the handling of this case is another example of an unwillingness to confront the issue directly. Later, we are winning the war in Iran even though many people may not feel like we're winning because higher gas prices make the conflict seem costly. Looking at recent events, leadership posturing, and the broader strategic picture, the situation is progressing better than it appears. China, Russia, and Iran operate as an aligned axis, and assessing the health of that network is key to understanding the conflict. Russia has suffered major setbacks, including severe damage to its refining capacity and a sharp decline in oil exports, creating both an energy and economic crisis. The broader strategic trends are signs that the axis is weakening and that we are closer to victory than most people realize. Finally, the economy is really a tale of two economies. On one hand, many people feel frustrated about affordability and believe the economy is struggling. On the other hand, the actual data shows a historic economic boom. Business activity in both services and manufacturing is at its strongest level in years, with demand surging and growth reaching levels not seen since 2015 outside of the post-COVID rebound. Corporate earnings are growing rapidly, GDP is projected to expand at a 5% annualized rate, poverty has fallen to a record low, and median household income has reached a record high while rising faster than inflation. Across nearly every major economic indicator, businesses are thriving and people at all income levels appear to be doing better. Yet despite these historic gains, many Americans remain unhappy with the economy, creating a disconnect between economic data and public perception. Learn more about your ad choices.

Hirschman, notably, wrote the seminal book Exit, Voice, and Loyalty: Responses to Decline in Firms, Organizations, and States while at CASBS. In this podcast episode, David Laitin describes developing the argument for his book Identity in Formation by following the conceptual framework of the classic Hirschman book.

Tudor Dixon sits down with Yasmine Mohammed, author of Unveiled: How the West Empowers Radical Muslims, for a deeply personal conversation about her upbringing, escape from an abusive forced marriage, and her views on the rise of political Islam in Western countries. Mohammed recounts growing up in Canada after her family became increasingly fundamentalist, being forced to wear the hijab, experiencing abuse as a child, and eventually being married at 19 to a man she describes as an al-Qaeda operative. She explains how becoming a mother ultimately pushed her to break away and protect her daughter. Tudor and Yasmine also discuss Islamism, the Muslim Brotherhood, Sharia law, Iran’s Woman, Life, Freedom movement, antisemitism, October 7, and the distinction Mohammed draws between individual Muslims and Islamist political ideology.

President Trump signed an agreement with the leaders of Denmark and Greenland on Tuesday at the U.N. summit in New York. This deal would expand U.S. military presence on the island, and allow the buildup of multiple U.S. military bases. This would work to prevent adversaries like Russia and China from gaining a strategic foothold there.President Trump met with 14 Latin American and Caribbean nations in the Shield of the Americas, a coalition targeting narco-terrorism, calling on them to take strong action.

Daniel Jiwani moved to Saudi Arabia to work for PricewaterhouseCoopers, but eight months later he was abducted by Saudi authorities, taken to a black site, and falsely accused of terrorism based on a coworker's joke found on his phone. After three weeks in a black site and over a month in a maximum security prison alongside Al-Qaeda and ISIS members, the FBI and State Department secured his release—only for him to endure six more days in a nightmarish deportation facility where he contracted COVID and slept on a concrete floor. He returned home to find his assets frozen, his career destroyed, and his employer potentially complicit in covering up his disappearance. Rather than succumb to despair, Daniel rebuilt his life using the same wealth principles he'd spent years researching—positive thinking, relentless action, and learning to handle pressure. In this episode, he shares his full story and the key lessons from his new book, The 52 Laws of Wealth, on what real financial resilience looks like when theory meets the worst possible reality.

Having just returned from my annual visit to New York City, riding in a mobile billboard truck playing my latest music video for the Anniversary of 9/11, I had some epiphanies that I'm compelled to share. As The Terrorist Therapist® for the past 25 years, helping people cope with terrorism in America, London, Manchester, Paris and Israel, and warning that the threat is far from over, I found new meaning in the motto “Never Forget!” In the shadow of September 11, 2001, we swore to each other we would “Never Forget,” meaning originally that we would never forget the people who died, the heroes who swooped in and the love we felt for America. But, 25 years later, the memory has dimmed and too many Americans have forgotten the most important part: Terrorists wanted to destroy America - and they STILL DO! Osama bin Laden's son hasn't forgotten. He reportedly faked his death and is planning another attack. Yet we have Mamdani, a terrorist mayor in NYC, who refused to stay away from the Ground Zero ceremony, though he believes we “deserved" 9/11, and terrorists running for office all over America. Indeed, the Democratic party-an infusion of terrorists pseudo-bonding with Marxists-is gathering steam because we've forgotten! In this episode of my Terrorist Therapist show, I explain the factors at work causing Americans to forget and what we need to do to remember before it's too late! We are more in danger of terrorism now than before 9/11, but now the biggest danger is inside.
The conversation starts with a discussion about the upcoming midterms and the importance of voting, but it quickly takes a dark turn as Larry delves into the world of terrorism and the Democrat Party's refusal to condemn it. Larry shares a shocking statement made by Hassan Piker, a prominent figure in the party, where he claims that the US military is a greater terrorist threat than Al-Qaeda. This statement is met with outrage, and the host questions why the Democrats are not speaking out against it. The episode also touches on the topic of election integrity, with Larry discussing the issue of non-citizen voting in Virginia. The guest, Katie Gorka, chairwoman of the Republican Party in Fairfax County, shares her concerns about the lack of action being taken to address this issue. She emphasizes the importance of educating voters about the amendments on the ballot and the need to get out the vote. The conversation also shifts to the topic of business and economics, with Larry discussing the importance of cutting taxes and utility costs to make New York a more attractive place to live and do business. The guest, Bruce Blakeman, the Republican nominee for governor in New York, shares his vision for the state and how he plans to make it more business-friendly.Become a Townhall VIP member with promo code "LARRY": https://townhall.com/subscribeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Twenty-five years after the September 11 terrorist attacks, Lisa Boothe sits down with Jeannette Pick, who was just nine years old when her father, Joseph Pick, was killed in the South Tower of the World Trade Center. Jeannette recounts the unimaginable experience of being at school in Hoboken, New Jersey, and watching the second plane strike the tower where her father was working on the 94th floor. She shares her memories of her dad—from playing football and tennis together to his love of comic books—and describes how those few minutes on September 11, 2001, have remained with her throughout her life. “For the country it’s once a year, but we all live it every day,” Jeannette tells Lisa, explaining why the anniversary remains so personal for the families of the 2,977 victims and why she believes future generations must continue learning about what happened that day. Jeannette also discusses her participation in a recent press conference involving 9/11 families who object to New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani attending the 25th anniversary ceremony. She explains that her objection is based on what she describes as his associations with individuals who have minimized or justified the attacks, while making clear that Mamdani himself had nothing to do with 9/11. Mamdani has separately said he intends to commemorate the victims and has participated in events honoring those killed in the attacks. Visit change.org/911ceremony Above all, this is a conversation about a daughter remembering her father—not simply as a victim of 9/11, but as the dad who loved comic books, cheeseburgers, slushies and spending time with his little girl.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In the 25 years since 9/11, we've seen the definition of terrorism expand. The Trump administration has called more and more groups “terrorists,” from “narco-terrorists” in Ecuador to people who protest ICE to the entire Democratic party. This week, our conversation with Saher Selod, an expert on the surveillance of Muslims, about the effects of the war on terror after 9/11, and historian Alex Lubin about how the word “terrorist” has been used to enact violence and surveillance.Support public media with NPR+ and enjoy perks for over 25 podcasts like this one.

We're coming up on the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, and it had us thinking about an episode we produced in 2014. It's the story of one sentence, written in the hours after September 11th, 2001, that has led to the longest war in U.S. history. We examine how just 60 words of legal language have blurred the line between war and peace. In the hours after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, a lawyer sat down in front of a computer and started writing a legal justification for taking action against those responsible. The language that he drafted and that President George W. Bush signed into law—called the Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF)—has at its heart one single sentence, 60 words long. Over the last decade, those 60 words have become the legal foundation for the "war on terror." In this collaboration with BuzzFeed, reporter Gregory Johnsen tells us the story of how this has come to be one of the most important, confusing, troubling sentences of the last two decades. We go into the meetings that took place in the chaotic days just after 9/11, speak with Congresswoman Barbara Lee and former Congressman Ron Dellums about the vote on the AUMF. We hear from former White House and State Department lawyers John Bellinger & Harold Koh. We learn how this legal language unleashed Guantanamo, Navy Seal raids and drone strikes. And we speak with journalist Daniel Klaidman, legal expert Benjamin Wittes and Virginia Senator Tim Kaine about how these words came to be interpreted, and what they mean for the future of war and peace.
