Host David Myers welcomes historian Ellen DuBois to discuss her recently published book about the life, legacy, and contradictions of Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Ellen emphasizes Stanton's central role in launching the women's suffrage movement alongside Susan B. Anthony and her enduring relevance to modern debates over women's rights, religion, and democracy. Ellen explores Stanton's partnerships with Anthony and Frederick Douglass, her disappointment during Reconstruction when women were excluded from expanded voting rights, and her increasingly controversial critiques of organized Christianity through works like The Woman's Bible. The conversation also confronts Stanton's racist and nativist rhetoric, with Ellen examining how her elite class background and the prejudices of 19th-century America shaped some of her most troubling views. Ellen argues that Stanton's vision of women's equality, bodily autonomy, and expanded democracy remains deeply connected to present-day political struggles over issues such as the overturning of Roe v. Wade, conservative Christian activism, and modern “household voting” proposals.Dr. Ellen DuBois is a Distinguished Research Professor of United States History at UCLA. Ellen earned her B.A. in History from Wellesley and her PhD from Northwestern University. She taught at the University at Buffalo before joining the UCLA faculty until her retirement in 2017. She has published many works, including Elizabeth Cady Stanton: A Revolutionary Life (Hachette 2026), Suffrage: Women's Long Battle for the Vote (Simon & Schuster 2020), Feminism and Suffrage: The Emergence of an Independent Women's Movement in America 1848–1869 (Cornell 1999), and Harriot Stanton Blatch and the Winning of Woman Suffrage (Yale 1997) which won the Joan Kelly Memorial Prize of the American Historical Association.

Welcome to Last Call, a look at the biggest stories Jim and Greg covered over the past week on the 3 Martini Lunch. This week, Jim was away and guest hosts included Inez Stepman of Independent Women, Hillsdale College Radio General Manager Scot Bertram, and radio and podcast host Craig Collins.This week our biggest stories included Republican voters in Kentucky soundly defeating Rep. Thomas Massie, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass saying she wants to "explore" non-citizen voting, former Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown dodging answers on ket issues as he tries to return to the Senate, and the weird congressional obsession with Daylight Saving Time.First, Inez and Greg react to Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie losing decisively to Trump-backed challenger Ed Gallrein. They also examine how Massie's image shifted from principled libertarian conservative to a frequent obstacle to the broader GOP agenda.Next, Scot and Greg chronicle Karen Bass saying she is willing to explore non-citizen voting in LA. Scot explains how the left's arguments about citizenship are wildly inconsistent. Greg believes the Democrats' goals on this issue are crystal clear.Then, Craig and Greg get a good laugh out of former Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown, who was voted out of office in 2024 and running for U.S. Senate again this year, claiming he doesn't know enough about the issues to say whether he supports abolishing ICE or cutting off military aid to Israel.Finally, Scot and Greg groan as the House of Representatives once again considers legislation to make Daylight Saving Time permanent. Scot and Greg explain why this is a terrible idea, what the better permanent time would be, and what the best approach to our clocks really is.Please visit our great sponsors:Fast Growing TreesBetter plants, better growing, and an extra 20% off with code MARTINI at https://FastGrowingTrees.com/Martini for a limited time; terms and conditions may apply.New episodes every weekday. 

Inez Stepman of Independent Women fills in for Jim Geraghty on Wednesday's 3 Martini Lunch. Join Inez and Greg as they break down Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie's decisive Kentucky GOP primary loss, President Donald Trump's endorsement of Ken Paxton in the high-stakes Texas Senate race, and why union victories in New York could send hotel prices soaring even higher.First, they react to Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie losing decisively to Trump-backed challenger Ed Gallrein. They also examine how Massie's image shifted from principled libertarian conservative to a frequent obstacle to the broader GOP agenda.Next, they consider the fallout from President Trump's formal endorsement of Ken Paxton over John Cornyn in the Texas GOP U.S. Senate primary. Senate Republicans are frustrated by the endorsement. Will Trump's move put that seat and the Republican majority in serious danger or will it mean a more conservative senator from Texas?Then, they dive into major union victories in New York involving Long Island Railroad employees and hotel housekeepers. Those housekeepers will get a 50 percent raise and now enjoy average salaries above $100,000 per year. And guess who pays for all of this?Finally, they look back at the U.S. Senate. With Louisiana Sen. Bill Cassidy losing his primary on Saturday after Trump endorsed one of his challengers, and Sen. Cornyn possibly losing next week, will they make it tougher for Republicans to get things done?Please visit out great sponsors:Better Help May is Mental Health Awareness Month- a reminder that whatever you're going through, you don't have to go through it alone.

Inez Stepman of the Independent Women's Forum is in for Jim on the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch. Today, Inez and Greg break down an MSNOW host being horrified that House Speaker Mike Johnson would say our rights come from God and not government, the disgusting Luigi Mangione fangirls who celebrate his murder of a health insurance CEO, Iran's stalling tactics on a deal to end the war, and California Gov. Gavin Newsom's "break the glass" scenario in California politics.First, they shake their heads as MSNOW's Katy Tur is worried about officials on the right claiming that our rights come from God is usurping the Declaration of Independence. They laugh over the fact that is Johnson is precisely articulating the main point of the Declaration of Independence. But they weep at how ignorant so many Americans are about our founding and the state of civics education.Next, they shudder over the Luigi Mangione fans becoming "journalists" covering his case and then taking to the sidewalk outside the court to celebrate Mangione's murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson and defending political violence as “heroic.” Inez explains how this and the reaction of many on the left to the murder of Charlie Kirk prove this is an acceptable perspective from way too many people on the left.Then, they react to President Trump once again agreeing to push back additional military action because Iran is supposedly more serious about reaching a peace deal. Inez and Greg discuss why stalling is in Iran's interest and what the impact is on the U.S. as well.Finally, as Gov. Newsom alludes to ways the Democrats can make sure the next governor of California is not a Republican, inez explains how the California Democrats operate and almost always get the results they want.Please visit our great sponsors:Better Help May is Mental Health Awareness Month- a reminder that whatever you're going through, you don't have to go through it alone.

Inez Stepman of the Independent Women's Forum is in for Jim Geraghty for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch. Today, Inez and Greg discuss President Trump's Iran speech, the agreement among congressional Republicans to fund most of the Department of Homeland Security, and another facepalm moment from Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson.First, they're glad President Trump once again explained just how devastatingly successful the U.S. military has been against Iran over the past month and that operations should be over within 2-3 weeks. But there are still big questions about what conditions we need to say it's over and what happens after that in the region.Next, they react to House Speaker Mike Johnson agreeing to take up and pass the Senate bill funding most of Homeland Security, except parts of ICE and Customs and Border Protection. It's a win for airline passengers and also for DHS employees who haven't been paid since mid-February. But it's another example of Republicans making frustrating concessions.Finally, they cringe at Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson's unusual illustration defending the prevailing interpretation of birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment. Inez also explains why the Trump administration is unlikely to win the case currently before the court.Please visit our great sponsors:Upgrade to polished and comfortable with Mizzen & Main — get 20% off your first purchase at https://MizzenandMain.com with promo code 3ML20.Take your personal data back with Incogni—use code 3ML for 60% off an annual plan at https://Incogni.com/3MLMake this the season where no opportunity or customer slips away with Quo.

Inez Stepman of the Independent Women's Forum fills in for Jim Geraghty on Wednesday's 3 Martini Lunch. Today, Inez and Greg break down a major Supreme Court free speech ruling, the latest birthright citizenship arguments before the court, Congress leaving DHS unfunded for another two weeks, and the jaw-dropping cost of college at George Washington University & other schools.First, they react to the Supreme Court's 8-1 ruling against a Colorado law that banned therapists from counseling minors to accept that their biological sex is correct. Inez also slams Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson as essentially writing op-eds from the bench instead of rooting decisions in the law. They also discuss today's high profile birthright citizenship case.Next, they take Congress to task for leaving Washington for a two-week break while the Department of Homeland Security remains unfunded. Inez argues this dysfunction underscores the need for at least a talking filibuster, and maybe an end to the fllibuster altogether, to get things done. Greg is skeptical that ending the filibuster would be good in the short term or the long term.Then, they dig into the skyrocketing cost of higher education after reports that George Washington University will charge returning students up to $98,000 per year for tuition, room, and board. Inez explains how government involvement in higher education continues to drive prices higher, leaving families burdened while universities reap the benefits.Finally, they highlight the scheduled launch of the Artemis II mission, which aims to send astronauts around the moon and pave the way for future lunar landings and a permanent base there. They're glad to see America aiming high again, both in exploration and for our national security.Please visit our great sponsors:Upgrade to polished and comfortable with Mizzen & Main — get 20% off your first purchase at https://MizzenandMain.com with promo code 3ML20.Take your personal data back with Incogni—use code 3ML for 60% off an annual plan at https://Incogni.com/3MLMake this the season where no opportunity or customer slips away with Quo.

In this inspiring episode, filmmaker and content creator, Christine Chang opens up about her powerful journey from photography and branding to filmmaking, as well as her personal growth through healing relationships. Christine shares insights into her upcoming short film, Making Space, which explores a woman's path to self-worth and finding her voice in a complex relationship. The film is a reflection of Christine's own story of healing, self-discovery, and the transformative power of setting boundaries. Christine discusses her personal journey of healing from her childhood experiences, how she navigated the challenges of high achievement and love, and why she had to unlearn the idea that love had to be "earned." She reflects on the deep impact of expressing her feelings, including a life-changing letter to her father that led to a powerful reconciliation. Alongside these personal stories, Christine offers valuable dating advice for high-achieving women, emphasizing the importance of self-love, patience, and focusing on core values over perfection. With her current 10-year relationship as a backdrop, Christine talks about the qualities that matter most in long-term partnerships, including integrity, kindness, and emotional growth. As the conversation shifts to practical advice, Christine and host. Dr. Stephanie J. Wong discuss how to create lasting, meaningful relationships in the midst of busy careers and high expectations. They explore how to find "workable" partnerships and build a life together with empathy, patience, and authenticity. Whether you're navigating your own personal growth or just seeking more meaningful connections, this episode offers powerful takeaways on love, healing, and the importance of finding space for yourself and others. Tune in to hear: Christine's healing journey and personal reconciliation with her father Her transition from photography and branding to filmmaking with Making Space The importance of self-love and personal boundaries in relationships Dating advice for high-performing women: what truly matters Insights on finding a "workable" romantic partnership and building a life together Join Christine and Dr. Wong as they explore what it means to make space—for yourself, for love, and for growth. ========================================= Christine Chang's Bio: Christine Chang is a multidisciplinary storyteller whose work explores identity, independence, and self-empowerment in modern relationships. After more than two decades as a celebrity photographer, Christine authored Show Up: Finding Love for Independent Women, a candid look at boundaries, self-respect, and attachment patterns among high-achieving women. She later expanded these conversations through her podcast, where she speaks openly about agency, culture, and relational dynamics for independent women navigating both ambition and intimacy.  This year, she makes her directorial debut with Making Space, premiering at the Beverly Hills Film Festival. The short examines the psychological tension between desire and self-respect — and what it means to "make space" for yourself in relationships where you've historically over-functioned. Beyond her creative work, Christine also leads branding and marketing for Phoenix Pharmaceuticals, co-founded by her father, Dr. Jaw-Kang Chang. She's currently developing a feature documentary about his life as a chemist and entrepreneur, examining cultural expectation, family dynamics, and the immigrant experience through the lens of an adult daughter forging her own path. ========================================= Share, like, and subscribe!

High-achieving, independent women often struggle in love not because they lack effort, but because of misaligned partners, subconscious patterns, and difficulty balancing control, vulnerability, and true self-worth. Key Takeaways Love isn't built on effort alone,  focusing only on chemistry without compatibility leads to repeated heartbreak. Independence can be a shield, what looks like strength may actually be fear of vulnerability and loss of control. Attachment styles shape relationships, anxious, avoidant, or disorganized patterns often drive unconscious dating behaviors. You can't “fix” someone into loving you, overgiving and self-sacrificing for the wrong partner leads to losing yourself. Self-worth is the foundation of love, healing past wounds and understanding your patterns is key to attracting a healthy, aligned partner.

President Donald Trump says a “softer touch” may be needed to carry out his immigration enforcement agenda.   “I learned that maybe we can use a little bit of a softer touch, but you still have to be tough. These are criminals – we're dealing with really hard criminals,” Trump told NBC News following the deaths of Alex Pretti and Renee Good in Minneapolis in January.   Two separate polls confirm the president's conclusion is in line with the American public's view of U.S. immigration policy.   A recent NPR/PBS News/Marist poll found that 65% of Americans feel that Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents have gone too far in enforcing immigration laws. But recent polling from the group Cygnal shows that 54% of Americans support ICE enforcing U.S. immigration laws to remove illegal aliens from the country. The same poll found that 61% of U.S. voters support deporting illegal aliens.   “I think what those two polls are actually doing is talking about policy, and they're talking about the execution of policy,” Meaghan Mobbs, director of the Center for American Safety and Security at the Independent Women's Forum, says.   “Americans support the policy, which is deportation, but like President Trump said, perhaps there's a way to go about it that's not exactly how it unfolded in Minneapolis,” Mobbs explains on this week's edition of “Problematic Women.”   “I think that's the threading of the needle where [Trump] said, we're going to keep doing it, but maybe with a ‘softer touch,' which I do think means increasing communication with local and state authorities, [and] I think means messaging it more effectively.”   Mobbs joins “Problematic Women” to discuss Trump's decision to deploy border czar Tom Homan to Minnesota and Homan's actions since he arrived in the Twin Cities. Plus, we discuss the extent to which U.S. support for ICE comes down to a PR and messaging battle.   Enjoy the show!
