Schumer's Shocking Flip-Flop, More Tariff Turmoil, Cuomo's Convenient Shift to the Center
from 3 Martini Lunch – Political Humor & Commentary · host Jim Geraghty & Greg Corombos – Political Humor Commentary
Join Jim and Greg for Friday’s 3 Martini Lunch as they dissect Chuck Schumer’s dramatic flip-flop on immigration, Trump’s latest tariff threats against Apple and the European Union, and Andrew Cuomo’s surprising critique of the far left in his bid to run New York City.First, they highlight Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer's complete reversal from his previous position on illegal immigration. Recently, Schumer said he wants to see all illegals become citizens. In 2009, he blasted illegal immigration, said we need to stop it, and even insisted on calling them illegal aliens instead of undocumented workers. It's clear proof that the far left wing of the Democrats is driving the party.Next, they brace for impact as President Trump calls for a 50 percent tariff on products from the European Union and a 25 percent tariff on Apple for iPhones sold in the U.S. that are not made here. Jim notes the volatility such proposals inject into the markets, warning that economic uncertainty from abrupt policy changes could have serious consequences.Finally, they find themselves in the strange position of agreeing with Andrew Cuomo about the far left leading deep blue areas into disastrous policies and consequences. His shift comes as the biggest threats to Cuomo in the NYC mayoral primary come from his political left. But can Cuomo really make this argument with any credibility after how he ran the state for more than a decade?Please visit our great sponsors:If I needed to find a doctor quickly, Zocdoc is what I’d use.
