Podcasts about Hillsdale College

Hosted by Ashe in America and Abbey Blue Eyes, this episode unpacks the meaning of sovereignty and why it matters more than ever. Kicking off with a powerful Hillsdale College video on the Declaration of Independence, the conversation explores how America's founding principles were rooted in God-given rights and a shared commitment to resist tyranny. The hosts reflect on how modern political corruption, endless crises, and psychological warfare have eroded individual sovereignty and national self-determination. From the Russiagate scandal and the grand conspiracy investigation now underway to historic examples of intelligence manipulation, they trace the pattern of subversion across decades. The show also highlights Yuri Bezmenov's warnings about ideological demoralization and how staged crises are used to weaken a population's resolve. Despite the darkness, the discussion remains hopeful, emphasizing that today's awakening is proof that one crisis is no longer enough to control the public. The episode closes with a reminder that reclaiming sovereignty begins with truth, civic courage, and rejecting demoralization in all its forms.

In this enlightening episode of Liberty and Learning, Mark Levin engages in a profound discussion with Dr. Larry Arnn, President of Hillsdale College, engage in a thought-provoking discussion about the Declaration of Independence and its lasting impact on American society. As the nation recently celebrated Independence Day, the conversation serves as a timely reminder of the principles that founded the United States.The episode begins with a reflection on the brilliance of the Declaration, described by Dr. Arnn as a "philosophic, political, theological masterpiece." He highlights the intellectual influences that shaped Thomas Jefferson's writing, noting that Jefferson drew from the ideas of great thinkers such as Plato, Aristotle, and John Locke. This rich philosophical background laid the groundwork for a document that would not only declare independence but also articulate the values of liberty and equality that define America.One of the key themes discussed is the evolution of religious freedom in America. Dr. Arnn explains how early settlers sought religious conformity, yet over time, they recognized the necessity of allowing diverse beliefs to flourish. This journey towards understanding the importance of religious freedom is a testament to the evolving nature of American society.As the conversation shifts to the Civil War, Levin and Arnn examine Abraham Lincoln's reliance on the Declaration of Independence to frame the moral argument against slavery. Lincoln's ability to connect the principles of the Declaration to the struggle for freedom and equality underscores the document's enduring relevance. Dr. Arnn emphasizes that Lincoln viewed the Declaration as the foundation of American identity, a perspective that resonates deeply in contemporary discussions about liberty and justice.The episode also addresses the challenges posed by modern progressivism. Levin and Arnn critique how some contemporary interpretations of the Declaration seek to distort its original meaning, arguing for a return to the foundational principles that have guided the nation. They discuss the dangers of viewing the Declaration as merely a historical artifact rather than a living document that continues to inspire and challenge Americans today.Listeners will come away from this episode with a deeper appreciation for the Declaration of Independence, not just as a historical document, but as a vital part of the American ethos. The insights shared by Levin and Arnn encourage us to reflect on our nation's founding principles and consider how they apply to the challenges we face in the present day.

July 11, 2025 ~ Chris, Lloyd, and Jamie talk with Gary Wolfram, professor of political economy at Hillsdale College, about whether tariff-driven inflation in the months ahead will be a one-time event or an ongoing problem.

In this episode: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis just slashed millions of dollars in funding for river restoration, public radio, and well-behaved inmates who want to phone their families. But the Republican governor also approved pork-barrel projects supporting the Inter Miami Major League Soccer team, owners and breeders of thoroughbred racehorses, and a giant real-estate developer near Daytona Beach. We take a closer look at what DeSantis decided to veto — and, more importantly, what he chose to approve — in Florida's new $115 billion state budget. Show notesPeople in Florida prisons will get free calls for good behavior in new programFree prison call program rewarded good behavior, cost taxpayers zero. DeSantis killed itRon DeSantis just pocketed nearly $1 million from an industry he helpedAfter a personal meeting, and a $10,000 donation, DeSantis approved a $10 million earmarkFlorida lawmakers may unleash a last-second expansion of school privatizationA billionaire is showering cash on Florida politiciansFlorida taxpayers will help fund a lavish pay package for a new university presidentA few quotes referenced in the show from Ron DeSantis' June 30th budget news conference: Schools of Hope charter schools“We got an overhaul to our Schools of Hope program. So you're going to have groups — like there's a group in New York City, Success Academy, and they've been able to do very well in New York City, which is very tough because the unions want to kill charter schools up there and the elected officials are negative — they're going to be able to go in the most dire areas of Florida and open up these schools and potentially change people's lives for the better…I'm glad we were able to work with the Legislature to get that through in this extended session.”Civics Seal of Excellence teacher training“We created this Civics Seal of Excellence program. We created a 50-hour course — well, we didn't, we got scholars from, like, Hillsdale, Heritage Foundation, all these places, and they devised this programming, basically lectures — about all these different things that went into the formation of the country and the values and principles that made us a unique experiment.” New College of Florida takeover“We made sweeping appointments to the Board of Trustees, they replaced the president with a conservative who had been the commissioner of education under our administration in the first term, and now, all of a sudden, they're bringing in these professors that are, like, really, really strong.

Join Jim and Greg as they honor America on its 249th birthday by reflecting on what they love about the United States. Originally aired in 2021, they each extol three things they deeply appreciate about our nation.First, Jim focuses on the incredible variety of places to live in the U.S. Whether you like big cities, rural areas, or somewhere in between, you can find your sweet spot somewhere in this country. Greg heaps praise upon the founders and specifically the Declaration of Independence, which radically and boldly proclaimed our rights come from God and our government gets its power from the people.Next, Jim reflects on his time living in Turkey and how being in that country or any other country helps you appreciate what we have in America even more. Greg is grateful for the example America set that attracted our ancestors and so many others to leave everything and come - legally - to the U.S. Finally, Jim applauds the great people you meet in every corner of the U.S. Yes, there's even some nice ones in and around Washington. Greg points to the incredible physical beauty of our land from coast to coast.Please visit our great sponsors:No missed calls, no missed customers with OpenPhone.

Join Jim and Greg as they head into Independence Day by looking at stories they would have chosen for martinis in recent weeks if huge news events had not intervened. Today on 3 Martini Lunch, they discuss good news in an unlikely place in the quest for building trust in elections. They also react to the very different track records for Florida and New York over the past 25 years, and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz's disturbing affection for China.First, they look at polling showing a strong majority of people in California supporting laws requiring people to prove their citizenship before they can vote. But they also scratch their heads as Nevada's Republican governor vetoes a Voter ID bill because of other provisions in the bill he doesn't like.Next, they look at data showing the stark difference in how much New York and Florida are spending per capita on programs like education and Medicaid. Despite spending almost three times more than Florida per pupil, New York students fared far worse in reading and math. They also consider how the populations of the two states are trending in very different directions.Finally, they dig into why Gov. Walz would suggest China has surpassed the U.S. and other nations as having the most moral authority to broker calm in the Middle East. Walz said this just after Israel's airstrikes began three weeks ago. What does Walz fail to understand about the Middle East and why is he so fond of Communist China?Please visit our great sponsors:No missed calls, no missed customers with OpenPhone.

Join Jim and Greg's substitute, Craig Collins as they prepare for the Independence Day holiday with this all-California edition of 3 Martini Lunch. Today, they are pleased to see a recent poll suggesting that Kamala Harris is not an intimidating Democratic nominee in the 2026 governor's race, they are amused by LA Mayor, Karen Bass's refusal to meet with ICE agents while telling them to go home, and they are wishing to reenact action films with California's recent firework factory explosion. First, they speculate about a recent poll which asked people if they would vote for Kamala Harris if they had a choice between her and a generic Republican candidate. Shockingly for Kamala and for California, Jim notes 41-percent would vote for her while 39-percent would vote Republican with the other 20-percent being undecided or not voting. Jim and Craig are unsure if Kamala will even choose to run, though. Next, Jim and Craig wonder where Bass wants ICE to go when she refuses to meet with them and tells them to go home. Aren't they already home? Recent Democratic commentary about ICE is laced with insurrectionist language, but Jim calls Bass's bluff arguing she is "talking big" but will not cross ICE when it comes down to it. Last, they are ecstatic about the recent explosion of a fireworks factory -- in YOLO, California of all places. Because nobody was hurt, they joke that every building demolition ought to involve fireworks. Jim and Craig find it reminiscent to a scene from The Naked Gun, and both wish they could have been there to witness it. Visit our spectacular sponsors: No missed calls, no missed customers with OpenPhone.

Craig Collins is in for Greg again today for the 3 Martini Lunch. Join Jim and Craig as they laugh over Democrat's looking to model future campaigns after Zohran Mamdani's, voice concerned over the lack of fiscal considerations regarding the Big Beautiful Bill and reveal the truth about seemingly ominous program cuts at Indiana Universities. First, Jim and Craig are entertained by Rep. Chris Murphy's enthusiastic interest in running future Democratic campaigns in similar fashion to that of Zohran Mamdani. Jim wonders if Democrats could really be silly enough to over-interpret Mamdani getting a plurality in a relatively low-turnout Democratic NYC mayoral primary and think this is the way to win elections again.Next, they are wary of the results passing the Big Beautiful Bill may have. It seems only to get less budget friendly as it moves through the Senate. Jim and Craig are concerned that fiscal conservatives, in hope of seeing their party's bill passed, are not being honest about the financial danger is poses. Finally, they are amused misleading numbers in an Indiana Public Media article which would lead readers to believe Republican policy is responsible for the 20% cut in degrees. Jim explains that it sounds ominous -- until you see how many students are affected.Please visit our great sponsors: It's free, online, and easy to start with no strings attached.

Jim is back though Greg is gone for today's 3 Martini Lunch. In his stead is radio personality Craig Collins. Join Craig and Jim as Independence Day week kicks off with a good, a bad, and a crazy bit of news. The week begins with Canada rescinding their digital service tax in response to Mr. Trump's Truth Social post, North Caroline Senator Thom Tillis and Nebraska Rep. Don Bacon will not be seeking reelection, and a Gallup poll finds that pride in America is significantly down from last year. First, Craig and Jim are pleased that just two days after Trump declared on Truth Social that he was suspending trade talks with Canada over their digital services tax, Canada announces they're rescinding the tax. Jim argues this tax to be particularly unfair and discriminatory toward U.S. businesses. Craig notes how Trump has been following through on his threats, and Canada seems unwilling to test him on this. Next, they mourn the bad news that North Carolina Senator Thom Tillis AND Nebraska Rep. Don Bacon will not be seeking reelection. Because the Republican Party won by narrow margins in those states, Jim worries this may swing states blue making it a good week for the DSCC and DCCC.Last, they are aghast at the recent Gallup poll which shows pride in America to be down significantly from last year particularly among Democrats. Jim is amused that Democrats felt more pride in the country when President Biden was in office. Ultimately, Jim and Craig argue that pride in one's country should not be contingent upon who is in office. Please visit our great sponsors:No missed calls, no missed customers with OpenPhone.

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageA century of parental educational rights. Fifty years of revolutionary economic thinking. One year since a presidential debate that changed American history. Today's episode celebrates these critical anniversaries that have shaped American liberty and prosperity.Pierce v. Society of Sisters stands as a cornerstone of American educational freedom. When Oregon attempted to mandate public schooling for all children in 1922, the Supreme Court unanimously struck down this overreach, declaring "the child is not the mere creature of the state." This landmark ruling has protected parental rights and educational diversity for 100 years, establishing boundaries on government authority that continue to influence school choice debates today.The Laffer Curve—sketched on a napkin during a dinner with government officials—transformed economic thinking by illustrating a counterintuitive truth: beyond a certain point, higher tax rates actually decrease government revenue. Though initially ignored by the Ford administration, this insight eventually powered Reagan's economic revolution, launching decades of prosperity. Kennedy had recognized this paradox years earlier, noting "tax rates are too high and tax revenues are too low." This principle, validated repeatedly through American history, demonstrates how economic freedom fuels both individual and collective flourishing.We also mark one year since the Biden-Trump debate that reshaped the 2024 election and triggered remarkable transformation: border policy shifts, economic rebounds, international developments, and party realignments. These anniversaries remind us how foundational ideas about liberty, properly applied, create lasting prosperity. Which of these milestones has most directly impacted your life? Explore Hillsdale College's free course on supply-side economics to deepen your understanding of these principles.Key Points from the Episode:• Pierce v. Society of Sisters (1925) turns 100 years old, establishing the fundamental right of parents to choose their children's education • The Supreme Court's unanimous decision declared "the child is not the mere creature of the state," protecting private and religious schools• Art Laffer's curve sketched on a napkin approximately 50 years ago revolutionized tax policy by showing how lower tax rates can increase government revenue• The Laffer Curve became the foundation for Reagan's economic policies in the 1980s, spurring decades of prosperity• One year after the pivotal Biden-Trump debate that led to President Biden's withdrawal from the race• Reflection on the dramatic policy shifts and economic changes that have occurred in just one yearBe sure to check out Hillsdale College's free course on supply-side economics taught by Art Laffer himself for more insights into these economic principles.Other resources: Want to leave a review?

Ricochet Co-Founder Rob Long is in for Jim today. Join Rob and Greg for another round of the 3 Martini Lunch as they break down two major Supreme Court decisions, get Rob's thoughts as a longtime New York resident on the rise of Zohran Mamdani, and the one-year anniversary of the disastrous debate that ended Joe Biden's political career.First, they cheer a Supreme Court decision empowering parents to opt their children out of classroom instruction that promotes the LGBT agenda. The ruling affirms parental rights in education and sheds more light on activist agendas in public schools. Rob also offers a deal to teachers intent on pushing a progressive cultural agenda, but Greg isn't buying it. They also approve of the Supreme Court largely restraining federal district court judges from issuing orders that impact the entire nation.Next, Rob weighs in on New York City Democrats choosing Zohran Mamdani for mayor. As a longtime resident of the city, Rob says it's nothing new for voters there to choose "a crackpot, left-wing incompetent," but he is surprised they picked one so obvious. Rob explains how even parts of the Mamdani agenda would ruin the city and what his highest hopes for the next four years would be.Finally, they reflect upon the one-year anniversary of President Biden imploding any chances of re-election with his awful debate performance. Rob and Greg remember the most telling moments of the debate, the tumultuous aftermath, and how the White House and its media allies tried to cover up what more than two-thirds of Americans already knew. They also discuss the details of the Biden cover-up that we still need to know.Please visit our great sponsors:It's free, online, and easy to start—no strings attached.

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 assess the Supreme Court's ruling on Planned Parenthood and your tax dollars, a radical government overhaul proposal from a Democratic congressman, and whether the Democrats will mimic Mamdani in the 2026 midterms and beyond.First, they discuss the U.S. Supreme Court's 6-3 decision allowing South Carolina to exclude Planned Parenthood from where it spends Medicaid dollars. Scot and Greg react to the decision, explain why it makes sense, and note the incredibly biased way these politically-charged rulings are covered in the media. Next, they shake their heads as Illinois Rep. Sean Casten proposes adding 12 at-large U.S. Senate seat decided in a national popular vote, which would also add 12 votes to the Electoral College. He also wants to increase the U.S. House of Representatives by 250 seats, and "rebalance" the Supreme Court by creating a "13-judge multi-circuit panel" that would decide any cases where the U.S. government or a federal agency is a party.Finally, they spotlight the Democrats who avoided Zohran Mamdani's extremism before the election but now rush to align with him.

Vic Verchereau welcomes Aric Nesbitt, who is the Michigan State Senate Republican Leader. Sen. Aric Nesbitt grew up as the middle child on a six-generation family farm in West Michigan. He went on to earn an economics degree from Hillsdale College, later earning a master's in international business. He received the “Distinguished Alumnus” award from Hillsdale for his work as a conservative reformer. In 2010, Nesbitt was elected to represent Van Buren County and part of Allegan County in the Michigan House of Representatives. He served three terms in the State House, achieving results for hardworking taxpayers by balancing budgets and reducing debt, lowering the tax burden, eliminating thousands of regulations, and defending our West Michigan values. Nesbitt currently serves as Senate Republican Leader and is a candidate for Michigan Governor. Listen in as the Leadership Lowdown host, Vic Verchereau gets the Minority Leader's take on getting things done in tough political times and coming together through consensus. » Visit MBN website: www.michiganbusinessnetwork.com/ » Subscribe to MBN's YouTube: www.youtube.com/@MichiganbusinessnetworkMBN » Like MBN: www.facebook.com/mibiznetwork » Follow MBN: twitter.com/MIBizNetwork/ » MBN Instagram: www.instagram.com/mibiznetwork/

Undisputed King of Stuff and Sink the Rising Sun author Jon Gabriel fills in for Jim on today's 3 Martini Lunch. Join Jon and Greg as they celebrate the political demise of Andrew Cuomo and shudder at the rise of Zohran Mamdani in New York City. They also focus on ICE taking concerning Iranian illegals into custody, and Nancy Pelosi raking in more millions through very suspicious investments.First, Jon and Greg react to far-left Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani's decisive win over disgraced former Governor Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic mayoral primary. They cheer Cuomo's collapse after scandals involving nursing home COVID deaths, sexual misconduct, and misuse of staff. But they are horrified that Mamdani, an avowed socialist, is now the heavy favorite to become mayor. They chronicle Mamdani's absurd campaign promises, his obvious antipathy towards Israel, and more.Next, they welcome news that ICE has detained 16 Iranian nationals illegally in the U.S. following the airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites. One of those nabbed is a former member of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps who admits connections to Hezbollah. Another was a sniper in the Iranian army. Jon says this is good work by Homeland Security to muzzle a threat before it starts.Finally, they dig into Nancy Pelosi's latest round of highly suspicious stock trades. The former House Speaker and her husband dumped shares in two major companies just before both were hit with federal investigations. While Pelosi isn't alone in ethically questionable investing, Jon argues she perfectly embodies why the American people do not trust their government.Please visit our great sponsors:It's free, online, and easy to start—no strings attached.

Undisputed King of Stuff and Sink the Rising Sun author Jon Gabriel fills in for Jim on Tuesday's 3 Martini Lunch. Join Jon and Greg as they dig into Iran's feeble response to U.S. airstrikes, President Trump's frustration over multiple violations of the Israel-Iran ceasefire, and the latest immigration insanity from Florida Rep. Maxwell Frost.First, Jon and Greg examine Iran's symbolic missile launch toward a U.S. base in Qatar, an attack Tehran telegraphed in advance to avoid American or Qatari casualties. Jon says this is further proof that Iran is very weak and knows it cannot risk angering the U.S. and further.Next, they react to the rocky start to the Israel-Iran ceasefire. Iran fired more missiles after the ceasefire was supposed to start. Israel responded, despite President Trump urging restraint. They also comment on Trump's obvious frustration with both sides as he met with the press this morning.Finally, they slam Florida Rep. Maxwell Frost for accusing ICE agents of kidnapping and human trafficking. Jon and Greg contrast his inflammatory claims with former Border Patrol chief Tom Homan's experience with the brutal reality of cartel-run trafficking. Jon also shares firsthand insights from Arizona, detailing the suffering migrants face at the hands of traffickers.Please visit our great sponsors:It's free, online, and easy to start—no strings attached.

Presidential historian and Ronald Reagan Institute Senior Fellow Tevi Troy is in for Jim today. Join Tevi and Greg as they break down the U.S. bombings of three Iranian nuclear sites on Saturday, the possible responses from Iran and the Trump administration's various comments about regime change, and the weird leftist condemnations of the strikes.First, they highlight the exceptional performance of the B-2 Bomber pilots, the lengthy and complex mission, and the airtight operational security, which may have been achieved by not telling any Democrats about the mission until after it happened. They also highlight how President Trump deftly pushed for a diplomatic solution, ramped up the tough talk, seemed to grant a two-week reprieve and then successfully surprises everyone with the timing of the strikes.Next, they contemplate what will come next - both from Iran and the United States. Will Iran close the Straits of Hormuz, focus on U.S. military bases in the region like today in Qatar, unleash sleeper cells in the U.S., or prioritize cyberterrorism? They also weigh in on Vice President Vance saying the U.S. does not have a goal of regime change in Iran while Trump openly suggests it on social media.Finally, they react to some of the most unhinged reactions to the bombings in Iran. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez thinks Trump's actions are impeachable. Obama administration figure Tommy Vietor says any deadly response from Iran will be because we started it. And even the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office condemned the bombings.Please visit our great sponsors:It's free, online, and easy to start—no strings attached.

This week on DANGER CLOSE, Jack Carr is joined by military historian and national security expert Dr. Mark Moyar.Dr. Moyar is the Director of the Center for Military History and Strategy at Hillsdale College, where he holds the William P. Harris Chair of Military History. A summa cum laude graduate of Harvard with a Ph.D. from Cambridge, he served in the Trump administration as Director of Civilian–Military Cooperation at USAID and has advised across government and military institutions. He is the author of eight books, including his most recent and widely discussed work, TRIUMPH REGAINED: THE VIETNAM WAR, 1965–1968.In this episode, Dr. Moyar and Jack explore the Vietnam War through the lens of revisionist history, challenging the conventional wisdom that has shaped public perception for decades. From the early influence of French colonialism and the flawed assumptions that guided U.S. foreign policy, to the critical decisions of Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon, Moyar offers a clear-eyed reassessment of America's involvement.They examine the Domino Theory, the role of media figures like David Halberstam and Neil Sheehan, and the controversial legacy of the Phoenix Program—often mischaracterized in pop culture and politics alike. The conversation also delves into the 1963 Buddhist protests, the assassination of President Diem, and the missed strategic opportunities that could have changed the trajectory of the war.Dr. Moyar draws compelling parallels between the U.S. exit from Vietnam and more recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, connecting lessons from history to modern military and diplomatic challenges. He also speaks to the cultural forces—films like JFK and distorted media narratives—that continue to shape the American understanding of Vietnam to this day.This is a powerful discussion about the weight of history, the cost of misinformation, and the importance of revisiting the past with intellectual honesty.FOLLOW MARKX: @MarkMoyarWebsite: https://markmoyar.com/FOLLOW JACKInstagram: @JackCarrUSA X:  @JackCarrUSAFacebook:  @JackCarr YouTube:  @JackCarrUSASPONSORSCRY HAVOC – A Tom Reece Thriller https://www.officialjackcarr.com/books/cry-havoc/Bravo Company Manufacturing - BCM Stock MOD3:https://bravocompanyusa.com/bcm-stock-mod-3-black/  and on Instagram @BravoCompanyUSATHE SIGs of Jack Carr:Visit https://www.sigsauer.com/ and on Instagram @sigsauerinc Jack Carr Gear: Explore the gear here https://jackcarr.co/gear

Join Jim and Greg for Friday's 3 Martini Lunch as they assess Israel's bold strikes on Iran's nuclear program and how President Trump and the U.S. are navigating this conflict. They also weigh in on the controversy surrounding California Sen. Alex Padilla being handcuffed after interrupting a Homeland Security press conference in Los Angeles.First, they lay out what we know about Israel's attacks against Iranian nuclear sites, air defenses, and top military personnel. Jim points out that every president since George W. Bush has stated Iran cannot be allowed to have a nuclear weapon and the Israelis clearly believe they could not wait any longer. They also marvel at the depths which the Mossad infiltrated Iran to help carry out the attacks.Next, they examine the U.S. response to the strikes. While initial American statements distanced the U.S. from involvement, President Trump voiced strong support for Israel and warned Iran to return to nuclear negotiations. However, Iran now claims it is abandoning those talks altogether.Finally, they break down the confrontation between DHS Sec. Kristi Noem and California Sen. Alex Padilla. Sen. Padilla interrupted Noem to shout questions. It was only after Secret Service and FBI began restraining him that Padilla identified himself as a U.S. senator. He was eventually handcuffed but quickly released when his identity was confirmed. Jim and Greg agree that Padilla's approach shows he wanted to create a spectacle. Jim also marvels that no one - even in LA - seemed to know what Sen. Padilla looks like.Please visit our great sponsors:Talk it out with Betterhelp.

Reed also dishes on the sentimental moment Jase tried bourbon for the first time—and immediately regretted it. Plus, he opens up about raising three young kids, planning for more, and building his own legacy through family and a thriving business in Nashville.

Join Jim and Greg for Thursday's 3 Martini Lunch as they break down the money trail that might explain Gov. Newsom's reluctance to confront the LA rioters, whether the evacuation of some U.S. personnel and their families means we're on the brink of major conflict in the Middle East, and the staggering incompetence of Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass.First, they dig into reports suggesting California Gov. Gavin Newsom was uninterested in maintaining order during the recent LA riots because the group sponsoring the protest, the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights, contributed nearly half a million dollars and a lot of manpower to help him survive the 2021 recall.Next, they wonder how to interpret the State Department's decision to remove some U.S. personnel and their dependents from Iraq, Kuwait, and Bahrain. Are we on the brink of conflict over Iran's nuclear program or is this simply a move to pressure Iran to accept the U.S. nuclear deal?Finally, they head back to Los Angeles as Mayor Karen Bass continues to ooze incompetence. And she is still blaming the rioting, the looting, and the property destruction on President Trump and his followers. Jim explains how Bass has now badly failed two big tests over the past six months and reminds us that Bass was on Joe Biden's short list for a running mate in 2020.Please visit our great sponsors:Talk it out with Betterhelp.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday edition of the 3 Martini Lunch where they bemoan the lack of 'serious people' in prominent positions. Those people include Terri Moran whose savage X post cost him his job at ABC, DNI director Tulsi Gabbard, who seems tired of being in the background, and Tennessee Rep. Mark Green who has the audacity to resign his position for an alleged business venture in Guyana. First, they laugh over Terry Moran's vitriolic X post, claiming Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller and President Trump to be 'world class haters' and find nourishment by "eating their hate." Quite possibly the result of an evening of booze, this post could have been explained away with a simple apology, but Moran refuses to recant. Jim wonders if ABC is grateful for a reason to oust a boring reporter that costs them half a million dollars a year. Next, they dissect Tulsi Gabbard's dramatic YouTube warning about nuclear war. Gabbard insists we're closer than ever to nuclear annihilation, apparently forgetting the Cold War and Cuban Missile Crisis. Jim is skeptical, especially considering the recent war in Ukraine and Russia where nuclear weapons have not yet been used. He also says that Gabbard has a direct link to speak with the president about such concerns, so speaking out publicly suggests she is bored of working behind the scenes. Last, they are aghast at the resignation of Tennessee Rep. Mark Green for the sake of a private sector opportunity. Greg is enraged by any public official who would leave office for any reason other than health and family reasons or scandal. Green leaving for an elusive business venture in Guyana of all places has both Jim and Greg immensely irritated. Please visit our great sponsors:Talk it out with Betterhelp.

Inez Stepman of the Independent Women's Forum fills in for Jim today on 3 Martini Lunch. Join Inez and Greg as they review a CNN poll showing immigrant voters shifting significantly to the GOP, address the clear organization present in the LA riots, and ponder the effects of Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley's call for a minimum wage hike. First, Inez and Greg analyze new CNN polling that shows a dramatic 40-point swing toward Republican immigration policies among legal immigrant voters over the past four years. Inez adamantly presents the recent situation with the LA riots as a prime example of why people do not trust leftist immigration policy. Next, they examine the LA riots as a return to coordinated, violent left-wing activism. Inez also explains the distorted logic behind the rioters waving Mexican flags. And they marvel at how many people on the left and beyond openly admit they don't want federal immigration laws enforced.Finally, they unpack Sen. Josh Hawley's proposal to raise the federal minimum wage to $15 per hour through his "Higher Wages for American Workers Act." Greg argues the plan ignores basic economic principles, while Inez notes many employers already offer similar wages. She says the real danger lies in Hawley's support for the PRO Act, which could reduce flexibility for freelancers and remote workers.Check out our great sponsors:Talk it out with Betterhelp.
