Andy Beshear joining the left-wing chorus wanting to abolish the Electoral College, why fewer men are working now and what can be done to reverse it, a professor at Cal-Berkeley fed up with incoming students who are way behind on math, and a majority of Dems, independents, and Republicans favoring price controls.First, they rip. Gov. Beshear for failing to understand the the purpose of the Electoral College. Charlie and Greg also explain why scrapping it would be really bad, both for Kentucky and for Beshear's fledgling White House ambitions.Next, they wince at a New York Post editorial highlighting how men have fallen behind women in employment and that it's part of an ongoing trend, but it's one usually triggered by some shock like the financial crisis or the Covid pandemic. Charlie says we need to realize the economy doesn't look llike it did a couple of decades ago, and getting an accurate picture is a big step towards addressing the problem.Then, they applaud a University of California-Berkeley math professor for venting that many of her students are entering the school anywhere from five to eight years behind in math and that she has to take time to teach concepts they should have learned in middle school. The professor, as well as Charlie and Greg, point to admissions policies and other factors that distract schools from simply admitting the best of the best.Finally, they groan as a new poll shows a majority of Democrats, independents, and even Republicans all favor price controls.

In part two of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, Marconi award winning talk show host Dan Mandis fills in for the guys this week and we begin this hour with concerns for ailing Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell. Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear is directly asking McConnell, the state's most powerful figure in Congress, to disclose more about his condition after three weeks of silence from the 84-year-old since he was hospitalized in Washington. The letter released Wednesday from Beshear, says, “Kentuckians have grown increasingly concerned about the current state of your health and well-being, and ability to hold office.” Senator McConnell's wife also released a statement explaining her absence as she left for China after her husband was admitted to the hospital. Also criticizing the SCOTUS ruling upholding birthright citizenship, some of President Trump's allies said having that right has opened the doors to "birth tourism." China and Mexico in particular are in the spotlight.

David Waldman and Greg Dworkin! Here! Today! Graham Platner has dropped out of the Maine Senate race. Well, pretty much, it's hard to tell. Platner doesn't seem to be much into introspection… which is the mark of a real blue-collar man, amirite guys? Donald K. Trump knew that Graham was a pig, and kindred spirit, the moment that he saw him. Democrats, however, haven't been quite sure which one of themselves that they should blame for this, but do agree it will put them at a perfect advantage once they replace Platner with the perfect candidate that they all can become arrayed behind. Gops wouldn't get in a mess like this, because they don't. Maine has fewer gubernatorial vexations. Mallory McMorrow doesn't have Nazi tats or screw around, but she's out anyhow. Meanwhile, Mike Rogers is a strong candidate. He's the STRONGEST candidate RARR! Trump flew his phony baloney Air Force Oneto Turkey and flew the real one back. After all, what's the point of being safe if you don't look cool? Trump had reasons, which were not believed, to which our Master Prevaricator shouted in retort, "That's simple, I was only LYING!" Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear wants Mitch McConnell to update him on his health… Ha, the joke's on Andy! At NATO, Turkish President Erdogan handed out guns like party favors. What will Mark Carney and Keir Starmer do? Trump should have no problem, as long as he has enough suit pockets empty of silverware and signing pens. A judge has ordered that E. Jean Carroll's $5 million be released to her. Maybe, she got it today. Federal Judge Emil Bove's verdict is that he luvs Donald. Zohran Mamdani is a "football" fan who will call it "soccer", no problem. He does not like VAR, however. Trump doesn't know what a red card is for, after all, his favorite sport is "ruining things".

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down the New York Times admitting it was wrong about supporting the legalization of marijuana, the slippery answers of possible presidential candidate Andy Beshear, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass facing little opposition for re-election, and a public official in desperate need of a civics lesson.First, they're pleasantly surprised to see the New York Times editorial board concede it was wrong to champion marijuana legalization while minimizing the harms of widespread weed use. Jim and Greg discuss data showing a surge in Americans using marijuana five or more times a week and how many states have effectively flipped sides in the drug war.Next, they turn to Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear's appearance on The View as he works to build national name recognition ahead of a likely 2028 presidential run. Beshear casts himself as a moderate, but Jim and Greg point to his opposition to proof-of-citizenship requirements for voter registration and his attempted veto of legislation banning transgender surgeries for minors. Jim explains how Democrats like Beshear try to hide behind their Republican legislatures to look moderate.Then they groan as the deadline for running for Mayor of Los Angeles has come and gone and Mayor Karen Bass looks like a heavy favorite for re-election despite her disastrous performance. Is LA a lost cause or would it ever boot a Democrat from office.Finally, they cringe as the sheriff of the largest county in North Carolina miserably fails to state how many branches of government we have and which one he is part of.Please visit our great sponsors:Upgrade your sleep with Brooklyn Bedding and get 30% off sitewide at https://BrooklynBedding.com when you use promo code 3ML at checkout.Find your way forward with BetterHelp when you sign up at https://www.BetterHelp.com/3ML to get 10% off your first month.Upgrade your wardrobe with Mizzen & Main — get 20% off your first purchase at https://MizzenandMain.com with promo code 3ML20.New episodes every weekday.

Louisville got a major economic development announcement recently with the news that multinational tech giant Foxconn is opening up a facility here — but it does raise some questions.We talk about what we know — and what we don't know— on this week's Access Louisville podcast.Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear and other officials announced on Tuesday, Dec. 9, that Foxconn Technology USA Corp. — the American subsidiary of Taiwan-based Foxconn Technology Co. Ltd. — would invest $173 million to launch a manufacturing operation in Jefferson County, creating 180 full-time jobs. In a news release, Beshear called it the company's first U.S. manufacturing operation, but that doesn't appear to be the case. The other main question we're wrestling with is what products are going to be made at Foxconn's local facility, which is planned at 6675 Randy Coe Lane. The company has not confirmed anything officially, though there are some hints.The Foxconn discussion is just one part of the podcast this week. We also chat about closure of Angel's Selfie Museum, located near the KFC Yum Center just off Whiskey Alley.

As candidates and political strategists on both sides look at how to handle the abortion issue in 2024, all eyes have been on one viral ad credited with reelecting a Democrat in Kentucky. Today on “Post Reports,” we hear from the young woman behind it.Read more:Since Roe v. Wade fell, voters have overwhelmingly backed abortion rights in each of the states where the issue has appeared directly on the ballot, including in conservative Kentucky, Kansas and, most recently, Ohio.Democrats have had less success translating voters' frustrations over abortion bans into races that could oust the politicians responsible for them, or prevent the election of other antiabortion leaders. Hadley Duvall made that connection abundantly clear for Kentucky voters. Her ad, viewed online millions of times, sparked concerned discussions within the Republican Party, with top national leaders acknowledging the critical role Duvall played in Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear's reelection.Today on “Post Reports,” we talk to abortion reporter Caroline Kitchener about how Duvall broke through, even with conservatives and moderates — and why political strategists are looking at this ad as a playbook.Today's show was produced by Ariel Plotnick.

This is Garrison Hardie with your CrossPolitic Daily News Brief for Tuesday, April 11th, 2023. Let’s get straight to the news. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/10/us/louisville-kentucky-shooting.html 5 Dead and 8 Injured in Shooting in Louisville, Ky., Police Say At least five people were killed and eight others were injured in a shooting at a bank in downtown Louisville, Ky., on Monday morning, the police said. The suspected gunman died at the scene. Paul Humphrey, the deputy chief of the Louisville Metro Police Department, said that the police received calls around 8:30 a.m. about a shooting at Old National Bank and when they arrived on the scene, “they encountered the suspect almost immediately, still firing gunshots.” Chief Humphrey said that the gunman, whose name was not immediately released, was confirmed dead at the scene. “We do not know exactly the circumstances of his death at this time,” he said. It was not immediately clear if the gunman was included among the five dead. The police did not give a motive for the shooting, but they said that the gunman had a connection to the bank and may have been a current or former employee. “We believe this is a lone gunman involved in this that did have a connection to the bank,” Chief Humphrey said at a news conference. Five people were killed inside the bank, the deputy chief said, and at least eight people, including a police officer, were taken to a nearby hospital. He said that two people were in critical condition, including a police officer who was in surgery on Monday morning. “There is no active danger known to the public at this time,” Chief Humphrey said. The bank is across the street from Louisville Slugger Field, a minor-league baseball stadium where the Louisville Bats play. The area includes many hotels and apartment complexes. The University of Louisville Hospital received nine patients, including two police officers, from the shooting, a spokeswoman, Heather Fountaine, said in an email. She said at least three of the patients had been discharged by early Monday afternoon. Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear spoke on the tragedy. Kentucky Gov. Beshear: 'I have a very close friend who didn't make it today'- Play Video The Police Department was still investigating the shooting at the bank when one man was fatally shot and another person was injured in a shooting later on Monday morning outside Jefferson Community and Technical College, less than two miles from the bank. It was not immediately clear what led to that shooting, but the police said that the two shootings were not connected. The college’s technical campus was still on lockdown midday Monday, and the school closed all of its campuses and canceled classes “out of reverence for those involved in shootings that have occurred today,” it said. https://www.foxnews.com/world/taiwan-warns-chinese-misstep-could-lead-uncontrollable-world-war-outbreak Taiwan warns Chinese misstep could lead to 'uncontrollable' world war outbreak Taiwan is sounding alarms over Chinese military drills that it says could mistakenly spark an "uncontrollable war" that would draw in countries from around the world. "The Chinese military exercises this couple of days have been very serious," Taiwanese Foreign Minister Joseph Wu told Fox News Sunday. "If you look at the sorties of the Chinese air force, together with the ships, they're coming very close to Taiwan. And any accident might spark an uncontrollable war in between Taiwan and China. And if other countries are trying to intervene, it might be the start of a war of great scale." The comments come as large scale Chinese military drills entered their third day Monday, with the Chinese military declaring that it is "ready to fight" if Taiwan were to attempt to declare its independence from the mainland. "The theater’s troops are ready to fight at all times and can fight at any time to resolutely smash any form of ‘Taiwan independence’ and foreign interference attempts," the military said Monday, according to The Associated Press. The drills China has run played out similarly to those the country conducted in August after Taiwan received a visit from then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., this time coming on the heels of a meeting between Taiwanese officials and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif. Like the previous incident in August, multiple warships and planes have reportedly crossed the median line of the Taiwan Strait, which for decades was understood by both sides as a boundary that military forces should not cross for fear of escalating to war. But China has disregarded the boundary in more recent military drills, insisting the line is "imaginary" in nature. Wu warned that the recent drills have shown that the Chinese threat to the independently governed island have continued to increase, arguing that it will be crucial for the U.S. to continue to show support for Taiwan as a way to deter aggression from the mainland. https://www.theblaze.com/news/social-media-federal-agency-hiring Social media and big tech companies have hired hundreds from federal agencies, including CIA and FBI Tech companies such as Google, Meta, TikTok, and Twitter hired nearly 250 employees from federal law enforcement agencies such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Department of Justice, and the CIA, according to an investigation by the Daily Caller. Silicon Valley and tech companies have recruited 248 employees from the Central Intelligence Agency, Department of Homeland Security, DOJ, and FBI, according to the report. Several of the employees fill top roles at the companies after having held positions in government agencies for more than two decades in many cases. Much of the hiring came between 2017 and 2022. Google alone hired 130 former CIA, DHS, DOJ, and FBI employees. Meta hired 47. Even Chinese-owned TikTok has employed 25 former CIA, DHS, DOJ, or FBI employees. The report states that Twitter directly recruited several employees of the FBI who had worked for the agency for over 20 years. An “embedded security manager" worked for Twitter for 10 months after working 22 years in the FBI, but he now works for Chevron. A “senior security manager" for Twitter also had a 22-year career with the FBI. Twitter's director of information security for the insider threat program was an FBI employee of 23 years. Additionally, the tech company's corporate security manager and crisis manager had 25 and 23 years respectively of experience at the federal agency. Other job titles at Twitter with FBI backgrounds include “senior director,” “security specialist,” “director of corporate security/ risk,” and “director of corporate resilience.” Google, Meta, TikTok, and the former FBI employees mentioned in the report either did not respond to inquiries from the Daily Caller or declined to comment. Twitter reportedly responded with a poo emoji, which is standard practice for the company. Twitter CEO Elon Musk is fighting battles on many fronts recently, with varying degrees of success. Musk is battling media credibility claims after labeling National Public Radio as "state-affiliated media," before eventually adjusting the label to "government funded media," the same annotation given to outlet BBC. At the same time, Musk temporarily changed the Twitter logo on the website to the "doge," a widely used cartoon image of the dog breed Shiba Inu. As well, in late March 2023, Musk and 1,000 others from the tech industry urged a pause in the development of artificial intelligence due to "profound risks to society and humanity."

Another Bud Light can features a rainbow and the phrase “celebrate everyone’s identity,” with various pronouns printed on the can.
