Summary
First, they welcome the New York Court of Appeals decision to strike down a New York City law that allowed non-citizens to vote in local elections. They emphasize the importance of restricting voting to citizens and warn of the risks posed by non-citizen participation. Jon also explains why similar efforts have failed to gain traction in his state of Arizona.
Next, they analyze NBC News polling that reveals a stark divide in political views between men and women, particularly between non-college-educated men and college-educated women. Jon explores why college-educated women have shifted so far left and shares insights from his college-age daughters and their peers about how they view politics and what ideas they are encountering on campus.
Finally, they critique New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s proposal for government-run grocery stores with artificially low prices. They explain why it's bad economics and point to the Soviet Union as a glaring example of why this approach cannot work and always ends in misery.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the three martini lunch. |
| 0:04.9 | Grab a stool next to Greg Carumbus of Radio America and Jim Garrity of National Review. |
| 0:10.6 | Three martini's coming up. |

| 0:25.6 | especially for Michigan State. But with us today, as Jim is at the National Review Ideas Summit, |
| 0:31.6 | is our good friend John Gabriel. He is the undisputed King of Stuff. He's a columnist for Discourse Magazine and also the Arizona Republic. |
| 0:41.0 | And he's the author of the brand new military history novel, Sink the Rising Sun, which is doing very, very well. |
| 0:47.6 | And for good reason. |
| 0:48.3 | It's an excellent novel, debut novel. |

| 0:53.3 | Thanks for having me on. Go Spartans, Michigan State. So I have many relatives in that area who are |
| 1:01.1 | big fans. They're waiting with a baited breath. We start with good news from the highest court in |
| 1:07.9 | New York State. It's complicated because there is a New York State Supreme Court, but it's not the final |
| 1:13.4 | authority in New York. |
| 1:14.5 | It's very odd. |
| 1:15.5 | The state of New York Court of Appeals is the final authority, and they have ruled today |
| 1:20.6 | in a six to one decision to strike down New York City's law that would have allowed |
| 1:26.1 | non-citizens to vote. And by some accounts, that would have allowed non-citizens to vote. |
