Podcast appearances and mentions of Glenn Youngkin

X: @GarrettInExile @americasrt1776 @ileaderssummit @NatashaSrdoc @JoelAnandUSA @supertalk Join America's Roundtable radio co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy with the Honorable Thomas Garrett, Jr., member of the Commonwealth of Virginia's House of Delegates and former US Congressman. The conversation will focus on the state of America's economy, Trump's economic reforms, US-Iran Talks, America's ties with Israel, Virginia's radical changes with major tax hikes and sweeping gun control legislation and a new redistricting initiative which may leave Virginia's Congressional delegation with a 10-1 in favor of Democrats rather than the current 6-5 Republican edge. This could pose challenges in the mid-term elections.a leading attorney, currently serving as a legislator in the Commonwealth of Virginia, former Assistant Attorney General and former U.S. Congressman. The Washington Post's Editorial Board: "Brass-knuckled hypocrisy in Virginia" Quote: _The self-styled democracy party isn't behaving democratically. Democrats in Richmond are trying to effectively disenfranchise millions of Virginians by redrawing congressional maps to give themselves 10 of the commonwealth's 11 House seats — giving Democrats control of 91 percent of House seats in a state where Republicans lost the last presidential election by just six points. Most know better, including the governor. Abigail Spanberger was among the two-thirds of Virginians who voted in 2020 to transfer once-a-decade redistricting from the legislature to a bipartisan commission. “Gerrymandering is detrimental to our democracy,” she said back then. On Friday, Spanberger signed a bill to schedule an April 21 referendum that would move it back. The governor said it was necessary “to let voters respond to extreme measures taken by other states.”_ Bio | Tom Garrett Virginia Delegate Tom Garrett earned his Bachelor's degree from the University of Richmond. After the University of Richmond, Tom Garrett became an artillery officer in the United States Army. Achieving the rank of Captain, Tom led soldiers overseas—most notably while deployed in Bosnia. Upon returning to the States, Tom earned his J.D. from the University of Richmond and quickly became an Assistant Attorney General for Virginia. In 2016, Tom was elected to represent Virginia's 5th Congressional District in the United States House of Representatives. Tom won that election with the most votes ever in the 5th Congressional District. While in Congress, Tom served on the Foreign Affairs Committee, Homeland Security Committee, Education and Workforce Committee and was a member of the Freedom Caucus. An expert on Iran and the Middle East, Tom Garrett's analysis and insights are enlightening as America's foreign policy and national security concerns are focused on a strategic region adversely impacted by Iran, a state sponsor of terrorism. In the years since, Tom Garrett has dedicated his life to fighting for the oppressed and forgotten not only here in America, but around the world. Tom has been working on a global docu-series project, Exile, which tells the untold stories of those who are persecuted based on their faith or ethnicity. In addition to continuing his work as a defense attorney, Tom has served as a consultant and most recently, cofounder for firms working in global energy development. americasrt.com https://summitleadersusa.com/ | https://jerusalemleaderssummit.com/ America's Roundtable on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/americas-roundtable/id1518878472 X: @GarrettInExile @americasrt1776 @ileaderssummit @NatashaSrdoc @JoelAnandUSA @supertalk America's Roundtable is co-hosted by Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy, co-founders of International Leaders Summit and the Jerusalem Leaders Summit.

Jessica Anderson joins Breaking Battlegrounds this week to discuss the Trump Accounts for Kids, an innovative public-private partnership included in the Big Beautiful Bill. The program focuses on saving today and investing in the future, with business leaders matching contributions to a modern version of "baby bonds." It represents a meaningful investment in the American Dream for the next generation. Jessica also breaks down the rapid and damaging shift under Abigail Spanberger. Spanberger campaigned as a moderate highlighting her background as a mom and former CIA officer and promising to prioritize affordability. Yet in less than 30 days in office, she has embraced the most extreme elements of the Democratic Party and pushed them into the mainstream. Jessica describes Spanberger as the female equivalent of Mamdani in Virginia. The agenda includes massive tax hikes, new taxes on lawn equipment, cutting off state and local cooperation with ICE and law enforcement, and introducing resolutions to roll back Governor Youngkin's changes to DEI policies—among many other proposals. As a result, business owners are already exploring options to leave the state, while many small businesses may be forced to shut their doors altogether. Chairman Will O'Neill of the Republican Party of Orange County joins us to discuss the massive California fraud quickly unfolding and the staggering $31 billion in unemployment fraud that occurred in 2021 and 2022. During that period, states took out unemployment loans from the federal government to cover shortfalls. California still owes more than $20 billion and remains the only state that has not repaid its federal loan. Because the state has failed to pay it back, employers are now facing higher unemployment taxes—effectively a tax increase driven by Governor Newsom's refusal to retire California's own debt. O'Neill also highlights a recent case in which an individual living in a $7 million home was arrested for allegedly stealing $23 million in homelessness funds from a program overseen by Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass's department. Gary Gygi joins us to discuss the Trump Accounts for Kids, a new initiative that provides every child with a $1,000 account at birth. The funds become accessible at age 18, though recipients can choose to leave the money invested and allow it to continue growing over time. These accounts will be primarily invested in the stock market, with the possibility of limited additional options. The goal is not only long-term growth, but education—introducing young people to capitalism, helping them understand that risk can be positive, and reinforcing the value of participating in the market. Bess Byers joins us to discuss New York City's $65 million effort to house trans homeless people. When she first saw the story, she immediately thought of the women at a Los Angeles shelter where she previously volunteered women who were seeking refuge after fleeing abuse and domestic violence. Bess raises concerns that legislation affects these women-only shelters by housing women with males and whether it's trans homeless or any homeless shelter, the homeless industrial complex has so much fraud and waste.

(The Center Square) – Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger's decision to rescind former Gov. Glenn Youngkin's Executive Order 47 does not immediately end state or local law enforcement cooperation with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, according to law enforcement officials and the order itself. Executive Order 47, issued by Youngkin in February 2025, required the Virginia State Police and the Virginia Department of Corrections to enter into 287(g) agreements with ICE. The order also encouraged local law enforcement agencies to participate in the federal immigration enforcement program. Spanberger rescinded the order as part of her first round of executive actions after taking office.Support this podcast: https://secure.anedot.com/franklin-news-foundation/ce052532-b1e4-41c4-945c-d7ce2f52c38a?source_code=xxxxxx Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Governor Abigail Spanberger was inaugurated Saturday, and with it issued a series of day one executive orders. Among them is one giving her the option to end a relationship initiated by former governor Glenn Youngkin between Virginia State Police and Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE. Brad Kutner has this report.

I'm Sean Tubbs and it's January 17, 2026.In this edition:* Abigail Spanberger is now Virginia's 75th Governor* There are several media reports that at least three members of the University of Virginia's Board of Visitors has resigned at Spanberger's request* The Virginia General Assembly has set the stage for a Constitutional amendment this spring for a Congressional redistricting with debate in both the House of Delegates and the Virginia SenateCharlottesville Community Engagement is a reader-supported publication.

It is my honor to be with all of you today,” said Governor Spanberger. “An inauguration ceremony like this one, with all its tradition and pageantry, represents something profound and in its origin, something uniquely American, the peaceful transfer of power.”Spanberger said the tradition began when George Washington, a Virginian, opted to step down after two terms as President. She thanked former Governor Glenn Youngkin for his service, as well as the time that former Lieutenant Governor Winsome Earle-Sears and former Attorney General Jason Miyares put in while in office.Spanberger also thanked generations that came before her that worked to ensure that women have the right not only to vote but also to hold office.“But who could only dream of a day like today?” Spanberger asked. “I stand before those who made it possible for a woman to also participate in that peaceful transfer of power and take that oath.”Spanberger noted that this is the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, drawing attention to Thomas Jefferson's role as Virginia's second governor. The first was Patrick Henry, who was sworn in in 1776.“Governor Henry is best known for his call against tyranny at St. John's Church, just up the road, words that helped launch the American Revolution,” Spanberger said. “But in his final public speech delivered in Virginia Years later in 1799, he made an appeal to his fellow citizens, warning against the divisions that were threatening our young country. His appeal remains timeless. He said, united we stand, divided we fall, Let us not split into factions which must destroy that union upon which our existence hangs.”Spanberger noted that the steps of the Virginia capitol were used by suffragists to lobby for the right for women to vote, a request denied for many years until 1920 when the U.S. Constitution was amended. She also noted that Virginia did not ratify the 19th Amendment until 1952.The new governor also noted that Virginia decided to call itself a Commonwealth upon independence and not just a state.“What's the difference?,” Spanberger said. “We, kids, pay attention. Someone may ask you this eventually. There's no difference. There is no difference in how we operate or function as a state. The difference lies in the intentions of our forefathers and the choice to indicate that here our government should serve the common good. That the voices of everyday Virginians, not kings, not aristocrats, not oligarchs, should. That the voices of everyday Virginian should drive us forward and that our prosperity depends on that union.”Turning to policy and the future, Spanberger said she would help guide Virginia during a time when the federal government is seeking to end support for rural hospitals, support for health care, and other outcomes sought by the current administration.“I know that some who are here today or watching from home may disagree with the litany in of challenges and the hardships that I laid out,” Spanberger said. “Your perspective may differ from mine, but that does not preclude us from working together where we may find common cause.”Spanberger said she looks forward to working with the General Assembly over the next four years and thanked her Cabinet for being willing to serve.“As we mark 250 years since the dawn of American freedom, what will our children, our grandchildren and their descendants write about this time in our Commonwealth's history? This chapter, 50, 100, 250 years from now, will they say that we let divisions fester or challenges overwhelm us? Or will they say that we stood up for what is right, fixed what is broken, and served the common good?”You can watch the entire inauguration ceremony on VPM or read the remarks on the website of the 75th Governor.Thanks for reading Charlottesville Community Engagement ! This post is public so feel free to share it.Several members of the Board of Visitors have resigned at Spanberger's requestThe Cavalier Daily is reporting that four members of the University of Virginia's Board of Visitors have resigned following a request from Governor Abigail Spanberger before she was sworn in.Shortly after Spanberger was elected, she asked the Board of Visitors to suspend a search for a new president following the resignation of Jim Ryan in June 2025. Former Governor Glenn Youngkin told her to stop interfering and the Board hired Scott Beardsley on December 19. Beardsley resigned as Dean of the Darden School of Business to take the job.The Board was already down to 12 appointees, all named by Youngkin, following the failure of five new nominees to get confirmed by the General Assembly.Rector Rachel Sheridan, Vice Rector Porter Wilkinson, and member Paul Manning all resigned on Friday. The New York Times reports that Doug Wetmore resigned today and their earlier reporting Spanberger has also asked Stephen Long to resign.The Cavalier Daily obtained a copy of Sheridan's resignation letter to Youngkin that blamed “political warfare” for the Board's inability to stabilize a University community where several groups expressed concern that Beardsley was appointed without their input. On Thursday, the Faculty Senate adopted a resolution calling for Spanberger to act.“The Faculty Senate calls upon Governor-elect Abigail Spanberger to exercise her statutory authority, review the actions of current Board members,remove those whose conduct has fallen short of the responsibilities of Visitors, and appoint qualified individuals to fill all vacancies on the Board,” reads one part of the resolution.The resolution also asks the new Board of Visitors to review the search process to determine if there need to be changes.As of publication, the Board of Visitors website has not yet been updated to reflect any resignations. However, Deputy Spokeswoman Bethanie Glover confirmed the four resignations.“President Beardsley and University leaders thank them for their service to UVA,” reads a brief statement sent in response to a query.The University of Virginia's Board of Visitors is next scheduled to meet on March 5. This is a developing story.Soon after being sworn in, Spanberger signed ten executive orders. One of them seeks reform of the way that members of governing bodies of state institutions of higher learning are appointed.

Under Virginia's Constitution, the legislature must agree to the amendment twice with a House of Delegates election in between before it goes to voters.Democrats took advantage of a special session from 2024 that had never ended to convene last October to hold the first reference in the House of Delegates and the Senate. Democrats then picked up an additional 13 seats in the House of Delegates.The House of Delegates passed the second reference on January 14 after about 20 minutes of debate. Delegate Rodney Willett (D-58) is the chief patron of House Joint Resolution 4 which will allow for a one-time redistricting outside of the decennial reapportionment process.“This keeps Virginia's options open,” Willett said. “This would enable us to preserve flexibility. If the people approve it and then we implement it, we could make redistricting decisions but there's no mandate here to do so.”Willett said the Virginia Redistricting Commission would do the work of redrawing Congressional lines in 2031 after the next Census.Delegate Terry Kilgore (R-45) said the General Assembly should not overturn the will of voters who approved a Constitutional amendment in 2020 to give the power to draw Congressional districts to the bipartisan Virginia Redistricting Committee.“We shouldn't care about what other states are doing,” Kilgore said. “We should care about what Virginia is doing, what message we're sending to our constituents.”Kilgore urged his colleagues to follow the lead of Indiana where a redistricting push failed in December. In both the Indiana House and the Senate, some Republicans joined with Democrats to vote against an effort to redraw lines. (learn more on Wikipedia)Delegate Wren Williams (R-47) rose to ask a question of Willett.“In 2020, nearly two-thirds of Virginia told us they wanted politics out of our map making,” Williams said. “Why would we reverse course now even under what is alleged to be a carve out for extraordinary emergencies?”Willett said this is a measure in response to a president who has demanded state institutions make changes for his benefit.“Our hand was forced here by the extraordinary actions coming from Washington by a president who contacted not one, not two, but multiple states and directed them to redistrict and change the election picture and essentially disenfranchise Virginia voters and other states that would vote Democratic,” Willett said. “We couldn't stand for that. When a bully punches you, sometimes you have to punch back.”Delegate Tom Garrett (R-56) argued that it would be Virginia Republicans who would be disenfranchised if lines are drawn to give Democrats an advantage. He ran through a list of states that are pursuing redistricting.“California, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Texas, Utah, South Carolina, Virginia, Washington, Florida, Maryland, Alabama, Louisiana, New York, North Dakota have all either done this or are looking at doing it,” Garrett said. “You know what makes Virginia different? We are the only state on the list that I named that had a constitutional amendment that passed in 99 out of 100 House of Delegates districts five short years ago.”Delegate Mark Sickles (D-17) reminded his colleagues that the Virginia Redistricting Commission failed to complete their job in October 2021.“That commission did not work like we hoped it would,” Sickles said. “And having a bipartisan thing, a group of Democrats and Republicans and citizens come up with these districts, it did not work. The court drew these seats. So I don't know how much reverence we have for that. But this is an emergency. If this is not an emergency for American democracy, I don't know what is.”Delegate Mark Simon (D-13) noted that if Virginia voters don't want to change the districts, they can vote accordingly.“You know what happens after this resolution passes?” Simon asked. “There's a referendum. We get to go back to the voters again and they're the ones who get to decide what we do going forward.”The vote was 62 in favor, 33 against, one abstention, and four not voting.A look at what other states are up to:Before we go over to the Senate, let's go through some of what can be known about other states listed by Delegate Garrett.* In November, voters in California approved Proposition 50 with 64.42 percent of the vote that redrew lines to target several Republican incumbents. (learn more on Wikipedia)* In Missouri, the legislature approved a new map for Congressional boundaries last September intended to reduce Democratic representation but a citizens group called People not Politicians are trying to force a referendum. Take a look at this January 9, 2026 story in the Missouri Independent for more information.* The North Carolina legislature approved a map in October 2025 designed to make it more difficult for one Democratic incumbent to get re-elected. Learn more in this Associated Press article from then. The situation in Utah is different as there were already legal clouds over redistricting related to an attempt to create an independent commission in 2018. According to an article by Katie McKeller in the Utah News Dispatch, a judge ordered a new map that would likely lead to one Democratic seat. Republicans are challenging.* The Texas legislature adopted a map last August intended to give Republicans five additional seats and this was briefly thrown out by a federal court. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled voted 6-3 to allow the new map to proceed. (learn more on Wikipedia)* The Ohio Redistricting Commission adopted a new map last October that gives Republicans an advantage. They did so before the legislature was set to do it themselves, reports Jeremy Pelzer for cleveland.com.* Some Democrats in Washington want to redraw the maps, but Scott Greenstone of KUOW reports there are obstacles to getting that done in 2026.* The situation in Louisiana is more complicated and I refer you to Ballotpedia.* New York Governor Kathy Hochul is exploring the idea of redistricting, reports Kate Lisa for Spectrum News.* North Dakota only has one Congressional District making redistricting irrelevant. Learn more on Ballotpedia.Senate DebateThe Virginia Senate took about 40 minutes on January 16 to go through the debate with Senator Christopher Head (R-3) introducing several amendments to House Joint Resolution 4. He made many of the same arguments as his colleagues in the House, arguing that voters had agreed to place the power of redistricting to a commission after the General Assembly gave them that choice in 2020.“Some of you weren't here then, but if you voted for it then and you thought that was a good idea because it was your ethics and your beliefs and they were foundational and fundamental,” Head said. “But now, because you hate the man that's in the White House, and that's really the only thing that's behind this, is that you hate the man that's in the White House and you want to blunt his power, then we're going to politically gerrymander and take away the rights of the people to have representation that represents them.”Senator Scott Surovell (D-34) said that Head's amendments should have been made on first reference. He said he did not support the creation of the Virginia Redistricting Commission but he could understand how those who did might change their mind now.“They didn't imagine that we're going to have a hyper-partisan fascist ideologue telling state legislatures around the country to basically redesign their districts to maximize his own personal political power,” Surovell said. “And to the extent anybody even thought about that, I think most people thought that there were people of principle in the Republican party that would stand up to it because they cared about the rule of law or system of government preserving democracy.”Head did not receive enough votes for his amendments.Surovell said he wished he did not have to support this move but felt there was no other choice.“When other states manipulate their maps to gain unfair advantage, we don't just harm,” Surovell said. “They don't just harm their own voters. They also harm Virginia's ability to have its fair representation in Congress. We're simply seeking to level the playing field in Congress which has already been. Which is being tilted against us and our state.Senator Mark Peake (R-22) wanted to know what would happen if voters approve the redistricting.“Do we come back into special session after the citizens have voted to draw the new congressional districts?” Peake asked.Surovell said there are still remaining questions to be answered but the maps would be available for the public to review before the referendum.Peake said if this passes, Democrats will do what they can to hold on to power.“You're going to do away with bipartisan redistricting,” Peake said. “You're going to try and put us in a 10 to 1 Democrat to Republican congressional districts, and then you're going to again resume gerrymandering the entire Commonwealth.”Senator Ryan McDougle (R-26) urged Democrats in Virginia to follow what some of the Republicans did in the Indiana legislature when they stopped a gerrymander.“Republicans in Indiana stood up to political pressure and said we're not going to play these political games,” McDougle said.In the Indiana House, 57 Republicans voted for the redistricting and 12 voted against, joining 29 Democrats. In the Senate, 21 Republicans joined 10 Democrats against the redistricting, and 19 Republicans voted for it.Senator Bill Stanley (R-7) pointed out that President Trump is unpopular, citing Democrats picking up 13 seats in the Virginia House of Delegates this past November.“It seems to me what this kerfuffle is all about is because the current president has encouraged some states to change their congressional makeups and the lines,” Stanley said. “The last time I checked, when he was elected in 2016. In 2018, Madam President, the Democrats picked up, I think 41 seats in Congress.”That appears to be accurate per Wikipedia.Senator Schuyler VanValkenburg (D-16) agreed that Trump is unpopular and said that is why is is seeking to redraw lines across the country.“As is so often true over the last 10 years of politics, every accusation is a confession,” VanValkenburg said. “The other side mistakes their inability to. To push back against the craziness of our current president for how we will act or are acting.”The vote in the senate was 21 to 18 with one abstention.What questions do you have?(image) The current Congressional lines in Virginia.

I also got caught up in the moment. I remember attending the inauguration of Governor Mark Warner as a reporter back when that happened.At the time I really thought I would have a career in public radio, but my desire for longer and longer stories met up against their need for shorter and shorter ones. When it was clear I was not going to get a job in the field, I tried to create my own. After fits and starts, here we are.I'm not going to any gala or celebration today. I'm going to keep working as that's what I want to do more. I've got to get the Week Ahead out tomorrow, write two stories for C-Ville Weekly and finish up a cover story article that I am procrastinating on.

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they close out the week examining new polling across the Western Hemisphere showing overwhelming approval for the removal of Venezuela's Nicolás Maduro, California Gov. Gavin Newsom's obscene levels of spending with mostly failure to show for it, and Virginia Democrats taking power and immediately advancing their radical agenda.First, they welcome polling from throughout Latin America showing broad support for Maduro being ousted from power.  In some places, the margin is more than 60 percent and even Mexico, which had the lowest approval for Maduro's ouster, still approved by 12 percent.  But the big question about Venezuela remains - what comes next?Next, they shake their heads as Gov. Newsom submits a nearly $350 billion budget for his final year in office, a massive increase from when he first took office. Jim lists many different economic categories in which California ranks among the worst states despite having so many natural advantages.Finally, Jim and Greg cringe as Virginia Democrats open their legislative session by pushing the radical agenda many feared was coming. At the top of the list is a constitutional amendment to enshrine abortion with no exceptions. They also thank outgoing Gov. Glenn Youngkin for four years of relative sanity before he leaves office tomorrow and the onslaught of awful legislation ramps up.Please visit our great sponsors:Improve your sleep with Brooklyn Bedding.

Governor Glenn Youngkin won’t be in office come next month, but he still gets to propose one final budget before leaving office. And Wednesday morning he did just that. Brad Kutner has this report.

A rough Cowboys game, one epic curb trip, and then straight into the numbers that matter: we unpack new post-election polling showing a city that believes it's on the wrong track and still reelects the incumbent by a wide margin. The data is bracing. Crime and homelessness top voter concerns, majorities expect little improvement, and yet identity beats performance. We walk through why early decisions, negative partisanship, and team-first voting flipped what should have been a challenger advantage into a decisive status-quo win.From there, we connect the dots to statewide prospects and national currents. If Albuquerque remains a 20-plus point anchor, a Republican can't compete without reshaping the urban map—through smarter registration, better GOTV, and a concrete agenda on affordability, insurance costs, and public safety. We also track a subtle but important shift: more Republicans now identify with the party label rather than the MAGA brand, hinting at a real 2028 fight instead of a coronation. JD Vance remains formidable, but we explore why figures like Marco Rubio, Josh Hawley, Ted Cruz, and Glenn Youngkin could push a vibrant primary that tempers the party in the fire.We don't shy away from media critique, either. A staged “gotcha” moment aimed at Erika Kirk crosses a line, raising questions about fairness and the incentives driving broadcast drama. On the business front, Ford's pullback on the Lightning offers a sober lesson: EVs will win on performance, charging speed, and range, not on mandates. And a Heisman speech from Fernando Mendoza brings it home with a reminder that toughness can be quiet, humility travels far, and belief plus discipline still move mountains.If you value data over noise and want a clear view of where politics, policy, and culture collide, this one's for you.

Today's Headlines: Trump is reportedly gearing up for his first big firing of Term Two — and no, it's not Pete Hegseth or RFK Jr. The likely target is DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, because she's not deporting people fast enough for Grandpa Joffrey. Rumor is she'll be swapped out for Glenn Youngkin once he's done being Virginia's governor. Meanwhile, Alina Habba is officially out after her totally-not-real stint as U.S. attorney, Trump is still shielding Pete over that missing boat-strike video, and MTG is rebranding herself as “America First” — prompting Trump to call her a washed-up traitor. In Texas, Jasmine Crockett is in the Senate race, Colin Allred is out, and Democrats suddenly have… a plot twist. Trump and Ag Secretary Brooke Rollins dropped a $12B farm bailout to fix the tariff mess Trump created, because of course. Paramount is launching a hostile, Saudi- and Kushner-funded bid to snatch Warner Bros. Discovery away from Netflix — the messiest media custody battle imaginable. And finally, ABC renewed Jimmy Kimmel despite Trump rage-tweeting that he should be fired, even while Trump was busy giving himself a medal at the Kennedy Center Honors.

Virginia decriminalized marijuana possession back in 2021 with the hopes of creating a legal market the year after. But with Governor Glenn Youngkin opposed, the effort languished and an illegal market flourished. Now, heading into the 2026 legislative session with a sympathetic Governor-elect in Abigail Spanberger, an early version of a new legal market bill […]

As you get ready to celebrate Thanksgiving, join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch. They each reveal three things or people they are politically thankful for in 2025.First, Jim applauds a reporter who broke the most significant political scoop of the year. And while it didn't change the outcome of the election, it does give Virginians clear eyes on what to expect over the next four years. Meanwhile, Greg applauds the Trump administration for getting it's most important policy priority done right - and almost instantly after taking office. Next, Jim has some fun and says he's thankful that he's not on the hook for designing secure facilities In Iran that turned out not to be so secure this year. Jim also utters a line likely to shock President Trump's staunchest supporters and his fiercest critics. Greg focuses on the homefront and is glad there is a backstop of sanity to deal with the blizzard of ridiculous rulings from federal judges playing politics from the bench.Finally, Jim is thankful for the establishment of honorable journalistic principles in a news cycle where reporters like Olivia Nuzzi are taking a blowtorch to any notion of ethical reporting. And Greg thanks outgoing Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin for four years of sanity as we buckle up for four years of dumpster fires from the Democrats.Please visit our great sponsors:Reach out.

Governor Glenn Youngkin participated in his final Thanksgiving Tribute Ceremony today. The event in its 348th year honors the relationship between Virginia and its indigenous tribes, and it also highlights the more solemn Thanksgiving holiday Virginia celebrated before the Pilgrims. Brad Kutner has this report.

Recent economic forecasts in Virginia have placed data centers as one of the Commonwealth's fastest growing economic sectors. And while some worry the artificial intelligence boom those data centers are powering resembles the internet bubble in the late 90s, Governor Glenn Youngkin is more optimistic. Brad Kutner explains.

John F. Kennedy once said; “Victory has 100 Fathers and Defeat is an Orphan.” He may have left out the part where defeat has many cousins ready to tell you what went wrong. The secret to growing from a defeat is being able to cull the appropriate lessons from the multitude of offerings of analysis. Such is the story of Virginia's GOP and the defeats suffered State-wide and in the House of Delegates. One rule of thumb is to seek out people with first-hand experience during the defeat because they might often have real direct experience with where “the train started to come off the rails.”  Such is the story of Scott Pio, he is the Loudon County GOP chair. Glenn Youngkin's gains in his county helped propel him to the Governors' Mansion in 2021. Now he's demanding leadership changes within the statewide party and we sit down with him to talk about what he wants to see happen and what he's prepared to do if it doesn't change.

Democrats elation over the election sweep last week quickly turned sour as the government shutdown came to an end. After an estimated $11 Billion in permanent economic damage, Democrats could have made the same exact deal 43 days ago. In other words, Democrats got none of the things they were asking for. Dan Turrentine is here to discuss the lack of strategy going into the shutdown and how Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer had no plan of getting out of the shutdown. This abysmal failure by Chuck Schumer has led many to call for his resignation. Schumer's approval rating is so low and AOC polls 15 to 20 points higher than him should she challenge him for his Senate seat. In Virginia, Terry Kilgore is the House Republican Leader in the House of Delegates. Kilgore unpacks the substantial beating Republicans took in the election. Winsome Sears failure to focus her campaign on economics and affordability was essentially her down fall but could current Governor Youngkin done more to help her? Now that Abigail Spanberger is in charge along with a Democratic majority, how will Republicans regroup?

David Waldman and Greg Dworkin are convening in working session today for the first time since Monday to address the national backlog of news and punditry. It's day two of the shutdown… cave by the Democrats. Dems knew when to hold'em, say they knew when to fold'em, according to government gamblers John Fetterman and Chuck Schumer. But what if the Democrats' big shutdown loss turns out to be a win? Well, it already has… for Republicans, who can pick up half a million dollars for subverting the government on Jan 6, and destroying it this year. Of course, the reason for the shutdown has not been addressed. Has this completely ruined the Democratic party chances in '26? No, not yet, but there's still time. Rising Republican star Glenn Youngkin has Santorumed out and won't be able to wrest Andrew Cuomo from upcoming Fox pundit slots. Sure, we kill people that we don't like the looks of. Hell, we slaughter hundreds of thousands. All of a sudden, the United Kingdom has something against war crimes?  Jeffrey Epstein knew all about Donald K. Trump. Everybody hates Donald Trump and is out to get him, according to criminal charges soon to be filed by the next Trump sacrificial attorney Jason Reding Quiñones. Obviously, such an overtly political hitjob would never be accepted in court by any judge who… AILEEN CANNON?!?

There's no sugarcoating the disastrous results for gun owners on Election Day, including passage of a referendum establishing a "red flag" law in Maine and Democrats seizing complete control of state government in Virginia. Cam details some of the more than two dozen gun control bills vetoed by Gov. Glenn Youngkin that will soon be revived, and predicts a revival of Second Amendment sanctuaries in response to the upcoming onslaught of anti-gun legislation.

Tara and Lee break down recent elections in Virginia and New Jersey, separating hype from reality. While some media outlets have labeled Republican losses a “bloodbath,” the hosts explain why these results were predictable in historically blue states, what they reveal about Democratic voter enthusiasm, and the challenges Republicans face in energizing their base. They also examine demographic shifts, gender splits, and the lessons Republicans must take to heart to prepare for the midterms. *Hype doesn't equal loss — understanding the real wake-up call for Republicans.* midterms, Virginia election, New Jersey election, Republican strategy, Democratic voter turnout, gender split, political analysis, Trump, Glenn Youngkin, voter enthusiasm, blue states, election insight, exit polling, Republican messaging, political strategy In this episode, Tara and Lee dissect the media narrative that recent Republican losses in Virginia and New Jersey were catastrophic, arguing instead that these outcomes were predictable in historically Democratic strongholds. They analyze Democratic voter enthusiasm, noting energized turnout that outpaced expectations, and explore the gender divide that favored Democrats, particularly among women. The hosts stress that these results are a crucial wake-up call for Republicans: energizing the base, engaging women voters, and delivering on economic promises will be key to midterm success. They debunk sensationalist reporting, contextualize historic Republican victories in these states, and outline actionable lessons for building a winning strategy in upcoming elections.

Join Clay Edwards for an unfiltered dive into the heart of America's cultural and political battles. In this episode, Clay tackles the corruption plaguing Jackson, Mississippi, and calls out the systemic issues no one else dares to discuss. He explores the push to repeal the 19th Amendment, blaming liberal women voters for societal woes like transgender policies and election outcomes. Clay praises Glenn Youngkin as a rising GOP star and celebrates Momdani Jones' NYC win as a gift to Republicans, predicting epic failures ahead.   Delving into local news, Clay shares positive vibes with Mississippi restaurants earning Michelin nods, then exposes eight eateries failing health inspections due to rodents and improper sanitation. He debates solutions for safer parades in Jackson post-shootings and rants on culture rot, rainbow supremacy, and the clash between Black communities and immigrants over resources.   Strap in for raw, no-holds-barred talk on fighting for America's soul, with humor, controversy, and zero sugar-coating.

Governor Glenn Youngkin of the Commonwealth of Virginia joined The Guy Benson Show today to discuss the latest on the state of Virginia, including tomorrow's gubernatorial election and the ongoing redistricting fight in VA. On the ongoing redistricting battle in Virginia, Gov. Glenn Youngkin discussed how nonpartisan voter representation is being overridden by partisan maneuvering by Democrats in the state. Youngkin called out Abigail Spanberger for flipping her stance on redistricting after receiving major financial backing from the very effort she once criticized. Gov. Youngkin also weighed in on the controversy surrounding Democratic AG candidate Jay Jones, whose vile texts wishing death on political opponents have drawn widespread outrage, praising Attorney General Jason Miyares for taking a firm stand and shared numbers encouraging to Miyares' race. Youngkin also discussed the heated gubernatorial race between Winsome Earle-Sears and Spanberger, explaining why he believes Sears can make up ground in the final stretch. Youngkin also pushed back on Barack Obama's calls for "civility" as the former president continues to endorse Spanberger despite her silence on Jones' behavior. Listen to the full interview below!

Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch as they assess the GOP's improving poll numbers during the shutdown, distinctly different poll numbers in Virgini, and Bill Kristol disgracing himself to the point of endorsing Zohran Mamdani.First, they're pleasantly surprised to see poll numbers showing Americans think better of Republicans and the GOP in Congress right now than they did before the shutdown. Independents are more bullish on Republicans too. With a simple message and many more ways for voters to get their news, the old strategies aren't working for Democrats anymore.Next, they dig into poll numbers showing a 10-point lead for Democrat Abigail Spanberger over Lt. Gov. Winsome Sears in the Virginia governor's race. Meanwhile, GOP Attorney General Jason Miyares leads by eight points. Are there really that many ticket splitters in Virginia? They also wonder why Sears has not spoken much about what she and Gov. Glenn Youngkin accomplished over the past four years, when Youngkin remains a popular governor.Finally, they shake their heads as former Weekly Standard Editor Bill Kristol completes his transformation from supposed conservative to leftist lapdog as he endorses Mamdani for mayor. Jim and Greg explain how some conservatives who dislike Trump kept their conservative policy positions while others, like Kristol, abandoned everything they ever claimed to believe in hopes of being embraced by the left.Please visit our great sponsors:Cancel unwanted subscriptions and reach your financial goals faster with Rocket Money at https://RocketMoney.com/MARTINI Build your fall sanctuary of comfort with Boll and Branch.

It has been a tumultuous week in Virginia's Statewide races. The fallout from the Jay Jones text messages continues to reverberate across the nation now and in the midst of that? The one and only debate between Gubernatorial candidates, Republican Winsome Earle-Sears and Democrat Abigail Spanberger.  Spanberger had turned down a CNN-hosted debate saying she wanted “local news media” to moderate the debate. She may rue that decision because after a contetiuous first half of the debate in which the Lieutenant Governor would frequently interrupt filibuster-like answers asking if Spanberger was going to answer the actual question, the moderators began to pick up on that which led to what I think is the “McAuliffe Moment” of the debate You'll hear it in the beginning of this podcast, and I think you will find it interesting that it was prompted by the same tactic Glenn Youngkin used to get Terry to admit what he really thought.  After the debate a Poll was conducted by the Trafalgar Group that shows that incumbent Attorney General Jason Miyares is ahead of Jones 48.9%-43.1% and has the two top races ‘statistically tied' (within the margin of error). Spanberger's 12-point lead is now 2.6% with 5.6% still undecided and Delegate Ghazala Hashmi is only ahead of John Reid 46.8% to 45.9%. We caught up with the former Ronald Reagan and George Allen aide on the way to a morning campaign stop to talk about these events.
