Listen to “Assad Falls, Islamists Taking Over Syria, DC’s Terrible Drivers” on Spreaker.
Join Jim and Greg on 3 Martini Lunch as they explore the collapse of the Assad regime in Syria, weighing its upsides and potential dangers. They also dive into why DC-area drivers rank among the worst in the nation, offering some humorous observations.
First, they celebrate the end of the Assad regime, marking the conclusion of more than 50 years of brutality and oppression. They discuss how Assad’s fall weakens Iran and undermines its terrorist allies in the Middle East. This is also a big embarrassment for Russia. While President Biden tries to claim credit, Jim and Greg provide a dose of reality on who deserves recognition.
Next, they analyze the troubling implications of Assad’s downfall. The rebel coalition includes extremist leaders with close ties to Al Qaeda and ISIS, raising serious doubts about the possibility of a moderate or democratic future in Syria. They also highlight the danger of the U.S. supporting groups with such alarming histories and intentions.
Finally, they lighten the mood with a new Lending Tree report showing that DC-area drivers are among the worst in the nation – especially in the District of Columbia and in Maryland – when it comes to speeding, accidents, drunk driving and more. They explain how this data only confirms what they already knew from driving on and around the Beltway.
