Join Jim and Greg for Tuesday's 3 Martini Lunch as they dig into the FBI's decision to reopen two politically charged investigations, Elon Musk's disappointment with the amount of spending in the GOP bill, and a Harvard professor fired for falsifying her studies on dishonesty.First, Jim and Greg commend the FBI for revisiting stalled investigations, namely the 2022 leak of the Supreme Court's Dobbs abortion ruling and the 2023 discovery of cocaine inside the Biden White House. Both probes were closed under the current administration without answers.Next, they examine Elon Musk's criticism of the GOP's “Big Beautiful Bill,” which he says includes far too much government spending.The legislation contains many strong conservative provisions, but Musk says it can't be both big and beautiful and there are many areas ripe for spending reductions.Finally, they laugh at the stunning irony of Harvard firing a tenured professor for the first time in nearly 80 years because she falsified her research on dishonesty. This leads Jim and Greg down the road of other famous examples of researchers and politicians fabricating their results.Please visit our great sponsors:Fatty15 is on a mission to help you live healthier, longer.  Get an additional 15% off their 90-day subscription Starter Kit by going to https://Fatty15.com/3ML and use code 3ML at checkout. Cut through political bias with Ground News's Vantage Plan—visit https://GroundNews.com/MARTINI to get 40% off for a limited time!It's free, online, and easy to start—no strings attached.

In this episode of Passing Judgment, Jessica Levinson talks with Wall Street Journal tax reporter Richard Rubin to break down the GOP's "big beautiful" tax bill. Richard explains what's in the bill—from tax cuts and increases to spending shifts—and who will be most affected if it passes. They discuss how the bill squeaked through the House, the major sticking points, and what's likely to change as it moves to the Senate. Join us for a clear, accessible look at what's inside the bill and how it could impact Americans' wallets and the federal deficit.Here are three key takeaways you don't want to miss:What's Inside the GOP Tax Bill: The bill primarily extends the 2017 tax cuts, including a higher standard deduction, lower rates, and business relief, while adding temporary cuts like a boosted child tax credit and tip or overtime exemptions. To offset costs, it includes tax hikes, mainly on clean energy and high earners, major cuts to Medicaid and SNAP, and increased spending on border security and defense.How “Typical” is This GOP Bill?: Richard describes it as a “mishmash”—there are conventional GOP elements (like tax cuts for the affluent), but also some Trump-specific provisions, like the “Trump account” (a new children's savings account), faster write-offs for American factories, and anti-immigration measures.The Path Forward in the Senate: Richard explains that the Senate will likely alter the House version, focusing on issues like Medicaid changes and clean energy tax credits.Follow Our Host and Guest: @RichardRubinDC @LevinsonJessica

President Trump's rapid-fire spending cuts have affected communities all over the country–including strongholds of his supporters. One of them is Rising Sun, Maryland. The town had won two FEMA grants designed to mitigate the effects of catastrophic flooding. And though the area voted overwhelmingly to support Trump's re-election, his administration has now cancelled the program that funded those grants. Across the state in the Trump-voting town of Emmitsburg, Maryland, a similar scenario is playing out. The town is home to the National Fire Academy–a sort of national war college for training firefighters in America. In March, the Trump administration abruptly cancelled classes at the academy. NPR's Frank Langfitt reports that locals are concerned about how that will affect the town's economy–and emergency preparedness across the country.

Americans overwhelmingly say the government is too big, bloated, and wasteful, but what happens when real cuts start to hurt? As tariffs hit, government spending is slashed, and bureaucratic fat is trimmed, Americans will feel the consequences. With consumer sentiment and the stock market fluctuating, how much pain are Americans willing to bear for a leaner, more accountable government and a stronger economic future? Will they stand by President Trump as he moves forward with his agenda, or will short-term pain create backlash? In this episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Nick Giordano breaks down the economic and political realities of government cuts, the tough choices ahead, and whether Americans truly have the resolve to end government overreach once and for all. Episode Highlights: • Tariffs, Budget Cuts & Market Reactions How economic pain hits American households and what it means for Trump's economic plan. • Are Americans Too Shortsighted? Voters demand smaller government, but will they backtrack as real consequences emerge? • The Political Stakes Will Americans accept temporary pain for long-term prosperity, or will political pressure force a return to reckless government spending and business as usual in Washington DC?
