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.

Is Trump’s “big beautiful bill” actually worth supporting? Inez Stepman of the Independent Women’s Forum joins to break it all down, from the immigration wins and tax cuts to the surprising reforms in higher education. While some conservatives like Rand Paul and Elon Musk are sounding the alarm over deficit concerns, Inez makes the case for why this bill might be the best Republicans can get, and why immigration enforcement needs to take priority. Plus, is the bromance between Trump and Elon officially over? Buck and Inez dive into the clash of egos, ideology, and what it means for the future of the GOP.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Inez Stepman of the Independent Women's Forum fills in for Jim today on 3 Martini Lunch Join Inez and Greg as they delve into Elon Musk's anger over the Big Beautiful Bill, Hakeem Jeffries' plans to dox ICE members, and the recent surplus of news about trans athletes stealing achivements from female athletes.. First, Inez and Greg discuss Musk's frustration over what he considers "a disgusting abomination" - the GOP's Big Beautiful Bill because it is not nearly serious enough about cutting spending. Inez agrees that we need much more fiscal restraint but she supports the bill because of its provisions on border safety, rooting out indoctrination in schools, and more. Next, they are horrified at House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries,' promise to dox ICE members for alleged overreach. Anyone responsible for deporting potential members of drug cartels have every right to protect their identity in the process. Inez slams the move as reckless and unconstitutional. Finally, they spotlight the increasing number of cases where male athletes identifying as girls are awarded titles, and scholarships, and other opportunities over the girls. Inez argues for a firm definition of sex in Title IX to avoid future Democratic majorities from enacting egregious reinterpretations of the law.Please visit our great sponsors:Upgrade your skincare routine with Caldera Lab and see the difference.

Inez Stepman of the Independent Women's Forum fills in for Jim today on 3 Martini Lunch Join Inez and Greg as they break down President Trump's executive order ending collective bargaining for federal employees in key national security roles, the escalating turmoil at Columbia University, and the backlash Inez faced online for simply expressing gratitude for her husband.First, Inez explains why Trump's order removing collective bargaining for federal employees at the Pentagon, State Department, Homeland Security, EPA, and other agencies is long overdue. She argues that as head of the executive branch, the president should have the authority to determine who works for him. Inez also highlights the absurd difficulty of firing even the worst-performing federal employees under the current system.Next, they examine the latest controversy at Columbia University, where President Trump pushed for action against rampant anti-Semitism on campus. Interim President Katrina Armstrong reportedly agreed to Trump's demands to secure $430 million in federal grants but has now resigned amid faculty backlash. Inez shares why it's absurd that Columbia gets so much taxpayer money in the first place and how the school now finds intself in a tight political spot.Finally, Inez became the center of a social media storm after tweeting her appreciation for her husband taking care of their baby when Inez wasn't feeling well. The post triggered outrage, with critics arguing men shouldn't be thanked for basic parenting duties. Inez responds to the backlash and explores why her simple expression of gratitude sparked such intense reactions, particularly among women.Please visit our great sponsors:This spring, get up to 50% off select plants at Fast Growing Trees with code MARTINI, plus an extra 15% off at checkout on your first purchase! at https://fastgrowingtrees.com/MartiniNo missed calls, no missed customers with OpenPhone.

Inez Stepman of the Independent Women's Forum fills in for Jim on the 3 Martini Lunch podcast. Join Inez and Greg as they discuss Sen. Mitch McConnell announcing he won't run again, the latest unspeakable atrocities committed by Hamas, and how federal agencies are making DOGE-related budget cuts painful for the public.First, they analyze Mitch McConnell's decision to retire after 42 years in the Senate and 18 years as GOP leader, and they assess his performance. They credit McConnell for defending free speech, blocking left-wing policies, and confirming conservative judicial nominees. However, they criticize his failure to address federal spending and his lack of progress on conservative priorities during Republican control of the Senate.Next, Inez and Greg express their outrage over the latest atrocities perpetrated by Hamas, including a gruesome ceremony involving the return of hostages' remains and reports detailing how the two young brothers who were brutally murdered. In addition, the remains of their mother, Shiri Bibas, were excluded from the return to Israel. With Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowing reprisals, Inez and Greg reflect on the critical details of the Bibas family's abduction and the role of the Red Cross in facilitating the spectacle we saw this week.Inez and Greg discuss government-run sites making DOGE-related budget cuts as painful as possible for visitors. They highlight three instances of "malicious compliance" and recall past government shutdown tactics used by Democrats to needlessly inconvenience the public.

Inez Stepman of the Independent Women's Forum fills in for Jim today. Join Inez and Greg for 3 Martini Lunch as they analyze the U.S. decision to designate cartels and gangs as terrorist organizations, President Trump's sharp criticism of Ukrainian President Zelensky, and the latest developments on congestion tolls in New York City, where Andrew Cuomo's political ambitions are taking shape.First, they commend the State Department for labeling MS-13, Tren de Aragua, and several cartels as terrorist organizations. They discuss why this designation matters, the impact it may have, and how it aligns with Trump's national security strategy.Next, they break down President Trump's strong criticism of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. They examine where Trump's rhetoric diverges from the facts and how how Trump most likely believes this statement will help bring the war to an end. And while Trump and others have suggested possible Ukrainian concessions to reach a deal, Greg and Inez also consider what demands should be placed on Russia.Finally, they dive into two major news items in New York City, where Inez resides. They assess the battle between the Trump administration and Gov. Kathy Hochul over congestion tolls. Plus, they react to reports that former Gov. Andrew Cuomo is likely to announce his run for mayor before the month ends.

In vitro fertilization (IVF) has presented a moral dilemma as its processes discard embryos as a matter of course, ending more lives than even abortion. Emma Waters, Natalie Dodson, and Inez Stepman join host Ryan Williams to discuss this and other concerns surrounding IVF: genetic selection, the creation of human life for profit, the potential use of AI in dictating which embryos live, and more. They also raise solutions state legislatures may consider in the process; possible consequences; and the looming, necessary conversation of bioethics and parenthood in America.
Inez Stepman of the Independent Women's Forum fills in for Jim on this episode of the 3 Martini Lunch podcast. Join Inez and Greg as they discuss Trump's legislative priorities, his controversial executive order on in vitro fertilization (IVF), and the role COVID played in shifting young men towards Trump in the 2024 elections.First, Inez and Greg break down Trump's call for a single reconciliation bill to tackle border policy, energy, defense, and tax cuts. Trump is aligning with the House strategy, while the Senate currently plans to divide the issues into two separate bills. Inez explains how this demonstrates what Trump learned from his legislative approach eight years ago and why he's likely to get what he wants in the end.Next, they discuss Trump's executive order aimed at making in vitro fertilization more accessible and more affordable. They both agree taxpayers shouldn't be footing the bill for IVF treatments. Greg says while IVF provides hope to married couples struggling with infertility, it also results in the destruction of human life in many cases. Inez opposes the executive order, warning it could accelerate the troubling rise of "designer babies" and genetic engineering. They also stress that the government should focus on making it easier and more affordable for families looking to adopt children already born.Finally, they explore polling and analysis from The Atlantic that suggests COVID lockdowns and the erosion of trust in experts have contributed to a significant shift in young men's political allegiance towards Donald Trump. Inez points out that the COVID era coincided with the peak of the woke movement, and many young men grew frustrated with being blamed for society's problems.This podcast is sponsored by BetterHelp.Visit Better Help https://www.betterhelp.com/3ML to get 10% off your first month

On this episode of Unsuperivsed Learning Razib talks to native Californian, Inez Stepman. Stepman has an undergraduate degree in philosophy from UC San Diego, and obtained her J.D. from University of Virginia. She is a Senior Policy Analyst at the Independent Women's Forum, a Lincoln Fellow at the Claremont Institute and a contributor to The Federalist. Stepman is also a co-host of the High Noon podcast. Razib and Stepman first talk about her reaction to Marxist author Malcom Harris' Palo Alto: A History of California, Capitalism and the World, exemplified by her piece in First Things, Ambitious Nihilism. A native of Palto Alto who went to high school with Harris in the early 21st century, Stepman believes that the left-wing narrative in Palo Alto is misleading. Though Silicon Valley avows fashionable social liberalism and radicalism, Harris argues that it is actually a seedbed for right-wing neo-Neo-Reaganism and capitalism. Stepman disagrees; though it is true that from a Marxist and explicitly socialist perspective Silicon Valley falls short, the overall political tenor was firmly on the left. She recalls even after 9/11 that her Palo Alto milieu took a dim view of American patriotism. For Stepman, Silicon Valley was more a laboratory of fashionable woke shibboleths, about a decade ahead of its time, as well as being the training ground for conformist grinds who were geared toward jumping over the next academic or professional hurdle. Stepman sees this narrow and short-sighted ethos throughout Silicon Valley, and the broader sense in American culture that technology will allow us to transcend our limits to humanity. She argues that wealthy tech entrepreneurs who aim to defeat death, like Bryan Johnson, are fundamentally inhuman in their goals and orientation. Razib and Stepman discuss extensively advances in biotechnology and fertility in particular that American society seems to take for granted, like noninvasive prenatal testing and gene editing, which are rolling out without much discussion.

Inez Stepman of the Independent Women's Forum and host of the "High Noon" podcast is in for Jim. Today, Inez and Greg discuss the controversy over Gov. Tim Walz's military service, his problem with free speech, and a federal judge ruling that Google is a "monopolist."First, they dig into the back-and-forth between Gov. Walz and Sen. JD Vance over Vance's life story, whether Walz retired from the Army National Guard to avoid going to Iraq, and Walz's documented comments about "weapons of war that I carried in war." Will this be a lingering issue in the campaign? Inez says this alone might not be a huge problem long term for Harris-Walz but additional stories that raise doubts about his veracity might be a different story.They also highlight a comment Walz made years ago saying, "There's no guarantee to free speech on misinformation and hate speech, and especially around our democracy." Inez points out there is no constitutional basis for that position. And while the goal of free speech is to seek and find the truth, she says the Bill of Rights protects speech that is factually incorrect.Finally, they highlight this week's federal court ruling siding with the Justice Department's argument that Google is a "monopolist" in terms of how it forces its products on others. And while Inez and Greg are always wary of the government injecting itself into the market, they also see a clear ideological monopoly showing up in Google search results.Please visit our great sponsors:Zbioticshttps://zbiotics.com/3MLUse code 3ML at checkout to save 15% off your first order.

Inez Stepman of the Independent Women's Forum and host of the "High Noon" podcast is in for Jim. Today, Inez and Greg discuss J. D. Vance's RNC speech last night, the latest from a steadily collapsing Biden campaign, and Joy Reid's latest unhinged take on Donald Trump and President Biden.First, they highlight the most salient points from Vance's speech. While Jim explained in the Morning Jolt why he did not like the speech because of how it represents an unfortunate shift in the Republican party and Greg has been bothered by heavy union embrace at the RNC, Inez contends that we are living in different times, and Vance's vision is a necessary one for the country's future.Next, they pull out the popcorn as high profile Democrats like Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer shove Biden harder towards ending his re-election bid. His recent gaffes, forgetting the names of President Herbert Hoover and his own Defense Secretary, Lloyd Austin, as well as his recent contraction of Covid-19, are certainly not helping his case.Finally, they rip Joy Reid's attempt to compare Joe Biden's (hopeful) recovery from Covid to Trump recovering from getting shot. Inez quips that Democrats are just "huffing copium" at this point, because Trump obviously has all the luck on his side and has a knack for making the most of key moments.
The street communists have once again made their presence known, this time freely rioting throughout the nation's Capitol without fear of consequence. Jesse Kelly gives his thoughts on this and gets a full report from Julio Rosas, who was on the scene. Inez Stepman is also onboard to discuss the various ideologies being perpetrated by the communist. Plus, a can't miss new story from Mike Benz on the disinformation complex in America today.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
