Podcast appearances and mentions of Kathy Hochul

After Las Vegan Shane Tamura was named as the shooter in last month's high-profile Manhattan shooting, NY governor Kathy Hochul blamed Nevada's lax gun laws. Turns out, it's a little more complicated than that: Nevada actually passed a pivotal "red flag" law in 2020 that allows law enforcement to temporarily take firearms away from people who pose a threat to themselves or others — but it's barely been used. In 2024, Nevada courts granted just 27 high-risk protection orders, while other states with red flag laws see thousands of such orders a year. Today, co-host Dayvid Figler talks with Assemblymember Sandra Jauregui, one of the architects behind many of Nevada's gun safety legislation and a survivor of the Route 91 mass shooting. They talk about how red flag laws work, if they're working, and what we can do better. To learn more about how red flag laws in Nevada work, check out this guide from Everytown.

Antonio Delgado has been sidelined by Gov. Kathy Hochul ever since he announced that he would not be running for reelection -- raising suspicions that he would instead run for Governor. Now that he's declared his challenge to Hochul, he's ready to explain why he would be a better partner for a Mayor Zohran Mamdani, where he falls on the political spectrum, why he called for both Biden and Eric Adams to step down, and why he declined to identify as a progressive despite endorsing a progressive agenda. There's no candidate interview like a Bad Faith candidate interview.

David Waldman brings us the Wednesday KITM, on Wednesday, as expected, and as expected on a Wednesday, Greg Dworkin, who's here to ask, “Health and wellness, but whose?” Well, not yours, that's for sure. This month RFK Jr. plans to announce which of the four humors is responsible for autism, but Bob is definitely certain that most children could use at least a little letting. Meanwhile, Donald K. Trump is dead, he just doesn't know it yet because he hasn't seen it on TV. It turns out that when Donald was seen doing his “Stanky Leg” in public, it wasn't all about his stanky leg... It might have been even worse, if you can imagine that. By the way, Trump will only die when the majority of MAGA says he has, so look for that in maybe in a few generations. Sadly, for Donald, the Nobel Committee only hands out their prize on the 10th war averted, and it doesn't seem that Vlad will be punching his ticket on that. Xi Jinping sends a message to Trump, the message that he just doesn't know how to throw a cool parade. Jeffreeeeey Epsteiiiiiiin! Trump sends the US vuvuzela corps over to the capital today, but if that's not enough he can always blow up some more boatloads of Venezuelan citizens. Are you doing your part? ICE agents across the nation sure are doing theirs, and most are getting away with it, as long as they hide their identities a little. Trump will take over Chicago, NYC, and Greenland as soon as he gets rid of that TACO creeping up his spine. Gov. Kathy Hochul is getting used to defying Trump and accepting Zohran Mamdani. The Fifth Circuit rejects Trump's wartime deportation baloney, while Jeanine Pirro dejectedly sucks down another wine box as grand juries award her yet another “no bill prize”. The USDA is cutting farmers loose from more supervision, while oyster farmer Graham Platner fights the oligarchy.  Space Command moves to Alabama, which is more proof that we are in the wrong timeline.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour host Scot Bertram fills in for Jim on Thursday's 3 Martini Lunch. Join Scot and Greg as they thoroughly enjoy the left's hypocrisy and letting the truth slip over the redistricting fight. They also react to President Trump placing the DC police under federal control and the left trying to regain control over news narratives through the attention extraction tax.First, they dismantle the blatant hypocrisy of New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker as they refuse to acknowledge their own aggressive gerrymandering. Scot and Greg also highlight former Rep. Beto O'Rourke openly admitting the fight is about raw political power, and former Attorney General Eric Holder urging Democrats to weaponize redistricting in blue states, seizing power under the guise of “saving democracy” before supposedly ending the practice altogether.Next, they react to President Trump placing the Washington, D.C, police under federal control, citing a state of emergency over crime. Greg is torn over this because he does not like the idea of the federal government taking more control over things but he also admits the DC government has been both unable and unwilling to get serious about fighting crime.  Scot says people have said for decades that something needs to be done about crime in D.C. and Trump is finally doing something about it.Finally, they laugh at a Boston Globe column bemoaning the end of taxpayer funding for PBS and NPR and calling for a new online entity that people can go to for factual information about prominent political and policy issues. In short, it's just another avenue for the left to regain the power to shape news narratives. And this would all be paid for by the Orwellian "Attention Extraction Tax."Please visit our great sponsors:Sleep on an award-winning mattress from Brooklyn Bedding.
