Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour host Scot Bertram fills in for Jim on Wednesday's 3 Martini Lunch. Join Scot and Greg as they break down Democrats' bigger-than-expected wins in Virginia and New Jersey, Zohran Mamdani coasting to victory in New York City, and several ballot initiatives that mostly went the wrong way.First, they dig into Virginia, where Democrat Abigail defeated Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears by nearly 15 points, outperforming every major poll. That landslide also helped rage texter Jay Jones win the attorney general's race by six points, while Democrats picked up 13 seats in the state legislature. In New Jersey, Democrat Mikie Sherrill beat Jack Ciattarelli by 13 points. The wins were not shocking, but the margins were, and Scot and Greg break down what those results mean heading into 2026.Next, they come to grips with Zohran Mamdani winning the New York City mayor's race by taking comfort that Andrew Cuomo won't be mayor. They also highlight some very ominous indications of what's to come from Mamdani's victory speech. Dems will undoubtedly try to mimic his smiley socialism in some parts of the country next year. Are Republicans ready to fight it?Finally, they analyze key ballot measures across the country, including strong conservative victories in Texas protecting parental rights and requiring proof of citizenship to vote. But not all results went the right way, as Gavin Newsom's gerrymander gimmick passed easily in California, and Colorado voters approved a tax hike on the wealthy to fund free school meals.Please visit our great sponsors:Give your liver the support it deserves with Dose Daily.  Save 35% on your first month when you subscribe at https://DoseDaily.co/3ML or enter code 3ML at checkout. Get 20% off your first purchase of classic menswear.

Polls show despite tightening numbers; Mamdani remains firmly in the lead ahead of Tuesday's election. And number three --- The lawyer for one of five young men arrested in what the FBI said was a conspiracy to carry out a Halloween terror attack in Michigan has said his client was only part of a gaming chat.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour host Scot Bertram fills in for Jim on Wednesday's 3 Martini Lunch. Join Scot and Greg as they dig into new polling showing most Americans leaning right on key cultural and political issues, media disinterest in the attempt to attack Supreme Court justices with hundreds of explosives, and the arrogant behavior of California's leading Democrat candidate for governor. First, they break down the latest Harvard/Harris poll revealing that most Americans want  all criminal illegal aliens deported and a majority wants all illegal immigrants removed. Large majorities also support rooting out government waste and fraud and oppose biological men competing in women's sports. Scot and Greg break down why we're seeing these results. Next, they expose the surprisingly quiet coverage of an attempted terrorist attack against Supreme Court justices at Washington's annual Red Mass. A man was arrested on site with more than 200 explosives. And yet the media seem to have little interest in the story. Could it be the would-be terrorist's manifesto explaining why he wanted to kill several of the justices? Finally, they spotlight an obnoxious interview from former Rep. Katie Porter, who is now leading the Democratic field for California governor. Porter could not handle a few simple follow-up questions from a reporter and was on the verge of cutting off the interview as a result. Unfortunately, this performance is very on brand for Porter.Please visit our great sponsors:Support your health with Dose Daily.  Save 25% on your first month when you subscribe at https://DoseDaily.co/3ML or enter code 3ML at checkout. OneSkin uses the patented OS-01 Peptide™ to improve skin and scalp health at the cellular level—try it now with 15% off using code 3ML at https://OneSkin.coCelebrate World Mental Health Day by starting your journey with BetterHelp—get 10% off your first month at https://BetterHelp.com/3ML

Despite the danger, Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson continue to vilify ICE.  And while the superintendent of Chicago police implores demonstrators not to confront ICE personnel, there are also multiple instances of Chicago police officers being ordered not to aid ICE officers in distress.Next, they examine revelations that former Special Counsel Jack Smith used the FBI to monitor the cell phone communications of eight U.S. senators and one House member during the January 6th investigation. Scot argues this fits a long pattern of surveillance abuse under the Obama and Biden administrations. Will the GOP Congress be able to get to the bottom of this?Finally, the controversy deepens in Virginia as Democratic attorney general nominee Jay Jones faces new allegations that he once suggested a few dead police officers might be needed to stop police shootings.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour host Scot Bertram fills in for Jim on Friday's 3 Martini Lunch. Join Scot and Greg as they break down the end of taxpayer-funded subsidies for electric vehicles, Zohran Mamdani's push to dismantle gifted education, and trust in the news media falling to yet another all-time low.First, they welcome the expiration of $7,500 federal subsidies for electric vehicle buyers, which ended in September under the Republicans' One Big Beautiful Bill. The subsidies were paid for with your tax dollars. Automakers enjoyed a brief sales surge before the deadline but are now bracing for a steep drop in demand. Scot points out that despite Democrats' efforts to force us to accept EV's, most people just don't want one.Next, they groan as Democrat New York City mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani vows to end gifted education from kindergarten through second grade. Scot and Greg explain how the left is obsessed with equity instead of excellence. So instead of pushing every student to be the best they can be, they hold back the higher-achieving students to create more equal outcomes.Finally, they review the latest Gallup poll showing only 28 percent of Americans have trust in the media, which is yet another record low. Scot gives one example from just the past few weeks to explain why that loss of trust is fully justified. They also explain how this gives other news sources to win that trust. They also note efforts by CBS and The Washington Post to bring in more voices and more perspectives to their news and opinion content.Please visit our great sponsors:Get 20% off your first purchase of classic menswear.
