3 Martini Lunch
Texas Redistricting Like the Holocaust? Students Thrive Without Phones, Howard's End?

3 Martini Lunch

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour host Scot Bertram fills in for Jim on Thursday's edition of the 3 Martini Lunch. Join Scot and Greg as they dissect the left's increasingly outlandish arguments over Texas congressional redistricting, highlight new research showing students benefit from phone-free classrooms, and react to reports that Howard Stern may soon retire.First, they sit in disbelief as a Texas Democrat, who is currently on the lam in Illinois, compares the congressional redistricting fight to the Holocaust. They also chide CNN's Jake Tapper for saying Republicans abuse redistricting far more than Democrats and explain why Republicans feel confident creating new districts heavily populated with Hispanic voters who voted for Democrats until fairly recently.Next, they dig into a new study showing that students do better in school when they don't have their phones in class with them. The research also finds that students support the phone restrictions once they experience them and enjoy more real-life interaction with their peers.Finally, they discuss reports that Howard Stern may soon end his lucrative partnership with Sirius/XM. They review Stern's evolution from supposedly fearless shock jock to a pathetic, pandering leftist. Scot also explains why he believes Stern is overrated in the area where most people give him the highest compliments.Please visit our great sponsors:Talk it out, with Betterhelp.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour host Scot Bertram fills in for Jim on Thursday's 3 Martini Lunch. Join Scot and Greg as they discuss California Democrats having to accept the truth on energy, Sen. Elizabeth Warren enthusiastically endorsing the socialist agenda of Zohran Mamdani, and Jim Acosta "interviewing" the bot of a student killed in a school shooting.First, they dig into California Gov. Gavin Newsom's retreat from his aggressive green agenda. After years of vilifying oil companies and pushing to end fossil fuel use, Newsom is now trying to keep refineries open and even expand drilling. Scot and Greg explain the truth about the scope of our energy needs and the only realistic ways they will be met anytime soon.Next, they react to Sen. Elizabeth Warren backing far-left New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani. She not only praises his socialist platform on housing, child care, and food prices but also claims his message is what Democrats should embrace nationwide. Scot and Greg unpack what “affordable” really means under progressive policies and how big government failures continue to pile up in America's largest cities.Finally, they recoil at former CNN anchor Jim Acosta's podcast “interview” with an AI version of Joaquin Oliver, a student killed in the 2018 Parkland school shooting. Acosta used the bot to advocate for greater gun control. Scot and Greg discuss the many ethical problems with this disturbing spectacle.Please visit our great sponsors:Talk it out, with Betterhelp.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour host Scot Bertram fills in for Jim on Thursday's 3 Martini Lunch. Join Scot and Greg as they dive into Texas Democrats fleeing the state over congressional redistricting, the Republican U.S. Senate primary heating up in Georgia, and The New York Times whining about the return of the Presidential Physical Fitness Test.First, they blast Texas Democrats for their blatant hypocrisy as members of the state legislature flee to Illinois in an effort to block a new congressional map that favors Republicans. Scot and Greg dig into the absurd comments made by Texas Democrats, and they thoroughly relish that Dems went to Illinois, home of the worst gerrymandering in the nation - by Democrats.Next, they analyze the GOP U.S. Senate primary in Georgia, as Gov. Brian Kemp successfully recruits former college football coach Derek Dooley into the race. Two Republican congressmen are also vying for the nomination and actively courting President Trump's endorsement. Scot hopes Kemp and Trump will unite behind a single candidate to boost Republican chances. Greg wishes that were the case, but he expects Trump to back one of the lawmakers, setting up a very intense primary.Finally, they sigh as a New York Times news article suggests President Trump bringing back the Presidential Physical Fitness test "revives painful memories" for people who struggled to do pull-ups in front of their classmates. Scot and Greg contend the test is a good step in trying to get kids to be more physically active and that not doing well in certain areas should be motivation to get better.Please visit our great sponsors:Talk it out, with Betterhelp.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour host Scot Bertram fills in for Jim on Thursday's 3 Martini Lunch. Join Scot and Greg as they assess the Supreme Court's ruling on Planned Parenthood and your tax dollars, a radical government overhaul proposal from a Democratic congressman, and whether the Democrats will mimic Mamdani in the 2026 midterms and beyond.First, they discuss the U.S. Supreme Court's 6-3 decision allowing South Carolina to exclude Planned Parenthood from where it spends Medicaid dollars. Scot and Greg react to the decision, explain why it makes sense, and note the incredibly biased way these politically-charged rulings are covered in the media. Next, they shake their heads as Illinois Rep. Sean Casten proposes adding 12 at-large U.S. Senate seat decided in a national popular vote, which would also add 12 votes to the Electoral College. He also wants to increase the U.S. House of Representatives by 250 seats, and "rebalance" the Supreme Court by creating a "13-judge multi-circuit panel" that would decide any cases where the U.S. government or a federal agency is a party.Finally, they spotlight the Democrats who avoided Zohran Mamdani's extremism before the election but now rush to align with him. Scot and Greg explore whether Mamdani's far-left agenda will become a blueprint for Democrats heading into the 2026 midterms and beyond.Please visit our great sponsors:It's free, online, and easy to start—no strings attached.
