Summary

Undisputed King of Stuff and Sink the Rising Sun author Jon Gabriel is in for Jim today. Join Jon and Greg as they dive into Sen. Kennedy's hilarious but accurate diagnosis of Democrats, NGO's running out of customers for their migrant facilities along the border, and whether New York Gov. Kathy Hochul will remove New York City Mayor Eric Adams.

First, Jon and Greg share their amusement over Louisiana Sen. John Kennedy’s insightful and often hilarious analysis of the Democratic Party’s struggles in the 2024 elections. Kennedy accurately points out why Democrats fared poorly, and both Jon and Greg believe that the DNC’s recent elections prove the party still hasn't learned the lessons needed for future success.

Next, they welcome the news that a prominent NGO is shutting the doors of its San Diego migrant shelter because no migrants have shown up there since Trump became president. While the NGO cites Trump’s deactivation of the CBP One app, Jon and Greg suggest that tougher border policies and greater scrutiny of NGO funding are also significant factors at play.

Finally, Jon and Greg discuss the latest rumors surrounding New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and her potential removal of NYC Mayor Eric Adams from office. Democrats accuse Adams of assisting President Trump's efforts to deport criminal illegal immigrants in exchange for Justice Department favors, Jon and Greg largely agree on what is really happening here and shudder at the thought this could all be setting up the return of Andrew Cuomo to big time New York politics.

Good, good and bad martinis. I guess the third one could really be described as crazy, too, and we'll get into all that. As you know, Jim Garrity is away in his place today.

any royalties, huge smash miniseries, just let me know. We can talk. Well, as John has said,

1:09.5

it's the best debut novel he's ever written. And if they were to turn

1:13.5

into a TV series or a movie, would you want to play one of the key roles or would you just want to

be like Hitchcock and be like the guy at the end of the bar? Yeah, I think I'd be the cameo guy or

because he was the most fun to write. Yeah, that's a great character. Absolutely great character.

1:35.9

Well, speaking of great characters, let's get to our first good martini and Louisiana Senator

1:40.8

John Kennedy is not only good for a reliable vote on the right.

1:45.8

He's also good for a good quip just about every time you see him in public,

1:50.5

whether he's skewering a Democratic nominee for the federal bench or something else.

1:56.6
