A conversation with Ronald Liamas.

Aaron McIntire reports Israel's unilateral strikes on Iran's nuclear missile sites, military headquarters, and officials, escalating tensions without public U.S. backing, despite President Trump's push for a diplomatic nuclear deal. Secretary of State Marco Rubio clarifies the U.S. is not involved but was informed by Israel, emphasizing protection of American forces. McIntire warns this could dwarf the Israel-Hamas conflict. Trump has dueling messages on immigration, but says he's still vowing the largest mass deportation in history, protecting ICE and Border Patrol. Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) is tackled by Secret Service at a DHS press conference in Los Angeles after lunging at the podium to question Secretary Kristi Noem, later meeting to clarify the incident. The House narrowly passes Trump's $9.4 billion DOGE cuts, slashing foreign aid and public broadcasting funds. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shuts down Rep. Sarah Jacobs' (D-CA) culture war jab, citing mental health concerns with gender dysphoria in military readiness. McIntire fields listener questions on Los Angeles riots as law enforcement, congressional grandstanding, and Truth Social's role as Trump's megaphone.    Israel Iran strikes, nuclear sites, Trump administration, Marco Rubio, immigration policy, mass deportation, Alex Padilla, Kristi Noem, DOGE cuts, Pete Hegseth, gender dysphoria, Los Angeles riots, Truth Social, Josh Hawley, minimum wage    

The federal minimum wage right now is $7.25. For someone working full-time, that translates to $15,060 per year, just $20 over the national poverty line.The US minimum wage has been hotly debated since its beginning, so this week, we're taking a closer look at its history, exactly who is making it, and dispelling some misinformation.In 2023, almost a million hourly workers in the United States made minimum wage or less. And contrary to popular belief, they're not all teenagers — many are moms earning half of their family's total income. They're working jobs you might expect, like retail and food service, but also jobs you might not have expected, like home healthcare workers. And here's something important to know: the minimum wage doesn't automatically increase with inflation. It has to be intentionally raised by Congress, something that hasn't happened since 2009. Think about how much prices have gone up since then! It doesn't have to be this way. If we look at other countries around the world, or even America a few decades ago, we can see that wealth inequality has never been this bad. It's not a fact of life; it's not a necessary evil to have a good economy. It can change if we all talk to our friends and neighbors… and vote accordingly.For a transcript of this episode, please email comms@redwine.blue.

Update reports on the latest in Los Angeles, where a federal judge rejected California Governor Gavin Newsom's bid for an immediate restraining order against President Trump's deployment of 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines to curb riots sparked by ICE raids. Trump hints at invoking the Insurrection Act, citing violent protesters throwing concrete at police and soldiers. Democratic Representative Norma Torres and L.A. Mayor Karen Bass demand an end to ICE raids, not troops, claiming the raids fuel chaos. Representative Maxine Waters denies violence occurred, despite evidence of assaults on officers. The FBI places Compton resident Elpidio Reyna on its Most Wanted list for attacking federal vehicles. ICE announces its largest workplace raid, arresting over 100 illegal immigrants in Nebraska.

Victor Davis Hanson delivers a scathing critique of California's leadership, questioning their stance on illegal immigration and violence.

Scientists are baffled by a second city buried under the Egyptian pyramids. Ryan Schmelz on the congressional baseball game. DeSantis will not let Florida become LA. Capsules containing fecal may be a wonder drug to cure. Eben Brown on riots spreading. Minimum Wage increase up for debate again.

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.

Watch as we expose how the city's Initiative 82 has devastated local restaurants, with 70% cutting hours or laying off staff and a record 74 closures in 2024 alone. The same politicians who pushed for "economic justice" are now scrambling as businesses can't absorb a 25-50% labor cost increase on already razor-thin margins. Is anyone surprised that artificially manipulating market wages leads to disaster? Will other blue cities learn this $15/hour lesson before their restaurant scenes collapse too?

LA's brilliant plan for the Olympics? Force hotels to raise wages by 48% and watch businesses collapse. In this episode, we dive into the city council's recent vote mandating tourism industry wages skyrocket to $30/hour by 2028—just as Los Angeles prepares to host the world.
