Passengers Stop Midair Middle East Terrorist Attack, Plane Plunged 17,000 Feet

from 3 Martini Lunch – Political Humor & Commentary · host Jim Geraghty & Greg Corombos – Political Humor Commentary

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they dive into breaking news about an apparent terrorist attack by a pilot on a plane with many Israeli passengers, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) endorsing Democrats in the midterm elections, Missouri Sen. Eric Schmitt stumbling badly in his questioning of former Special Counsel Jack Smith, and the latest intensely negative ads.First, they discuss the 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. Next, 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.Then, they cringe as Missouri Sen. Eric Schmitt's efforts to link former Special Counsel Jack Smith to the Trump probe in Fulton County, Georgia, fall apart when he (or his staff) confuse the Atlanta Hawks with the Iowa Hawkeyes. Jim and Greg also address the Senate Judiciary Committee revealing the Smith probe collected communications from reporters of many different media organizations.Finally, they have more 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.
