Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour Host Scot Bertram fills in for Jim on 3 Martini Lunch. Join Scot and Greg as they break down Elon Musk's Saturday email to federal employees, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson's disastrous poll numbers, and blue states setting themselves up for another humiliating defeat over girls' sports.First, they analyze Musk's DOGE email to federal employees, demanding they reply by midnight Monday with five accomplishments from the past week. Scot explains how this is common in the private sector, especially during management transitions, and argues that a short email shouldn't be a major burden. Greg says the current amount of spending in our government in simply unsustainable. But he does hope government downsizing can be done as orderly as possible.Next, they react to a shocking new poll showing Mayor Brandon Johnson with a dismal 6.6 percent approval rating and an overwhelming 80% disapproval. Scot, a Chicago-area native, walks through Johnson's long list of failures and explains how the mayor's leadership has left him more than 73 points underwater with voters less than two years into his term.Finally, they shake their heads as lefties in multiple states insist on losing ground legally and politically by resisting President Trump's executive order removing federal funds for states and locales who allow males to participate in girls' and women's sports. They specifically highlight Trump's public exchange with Maine Gov. Janet Mills and the Michigan High School Athletic Association refusing to change its policy.Please visit our great sponsors:If I needed to find a doctor quickly, Zocdoc is what I'd use.

Buckle up, it looks like I might agree with a trade union. CTU policy director Craig Renney is worried about the same thing I am, and I think he is right to be worried. What he is worried about is the possibility that we will become a net exporter of population. Oh the irony that as an exporting nation, one of the growth industries is people. If you have followed the migration story these past few years a couple of large, and some would argue alarming, things have happened: 1) A huge number of people arrived. 2) A huge number of people have left. Things are sort of starting to settle. The arrival numbers are tailing off. But the departure numbers, although not breaking records the way they were, are still large. The key part of that numeric equation is we are at a tipping point. It is more than possible that if the arrival numbers drop just a bit more, but the departure bit doesn't stop, we will have more people leaving than arriving. We will be a net exporter of people. The really scary thing about that is the one in, one out idea isn't in and of itself a good thing if the “out” is a brain surgeon and the “in” is an uber driver. The overall picture, i.e. a shrinking population, is a disaster as well because for every person who thought too many arrived and they had no houses etc, having a shrinking population is as bad, if not worse. Reputationally it's catastrophic. We are the country no one wants to live in. That's not normally a portrait of a robust, successful, prosperous nation, is it? What it says is those looking to move here don't fancy it. They pick somewhere else. In the meantime, those already here look to leave for brighter, more appealing pastures. We are the ugly girl in the corner of the school dance. It's a reminder, as if we needed it, that this country has a series of problems of size and severity that we have not faced in many a long decade.

The government's striking another blow against workers, according to unions, with plans to dock people's pay if they work to rule as part of industrial action. A proposed law would allow bosses, to use a specified formula, to work out the drop in productivity in partial strikes and deduct that from a workers paypacket. That could include things like teachers refusing to teach certain year groups, or take out of hours sports or cultural group and MRI technicians limiting the number of scans they do in a day - both recent real examples of partial strike action. Joining us now is CTU acting president, Rachel Mackintosh.

How will this impact voters who get to choose a partially elected board for the first time?

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour Host Scot Bertram is in for Jim. Join Scot and Greg as they discuss Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg's dropping charges against most of the Columbia students arrested to taking over a campus building, the latest delusional narratives from anti-school choice leftists, and Good Morning America's bizarre campaign against paper towels.There are no good martinis today, so Scot and Greg start by tearing into Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg for giving the Columbia students who occupied a building (and held a custodian hostage) a free pass on the grounds that the university would handle their discipline internally and that there somehow wasn't sufficient evidence to charge them. They point out the glaring double standard in how Bragg treats individuals who line up with his political preferences.They next raise a double-fisted bad martini to the unhinged anti-school choice rhetoric that leftists are pushing, starting with Chicago Teachers Union President Stacy Gates claiming that conservatives want black children to stay illiterate. They then delve into Scientific American's push for greater federal regulation of homeschooling, specifically parents, and why it makes no sense.Finally, they puzzle over "Good Morning America's" stunning and brave stand against paper towels as it offers various (ineffective) alternatives to viewers. Scot notes that the point of these useless alternatives is really to feel better about yourself, not to get anything done.Please visit our great sponsor: Lumenhttps://lumen.meTake the next step in improving your health.  Use code 3ML at checkout to save 15%.
