Ford says it cannot fill 5,000 mechanic jobs at 120k a year as the panel debates whether America faces a true labor shortage or a wage problem. The conversation expands into student visas, trade skills, college majors, and how bad policy is distorting the entire labor market.

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down a Democratic congressional candidate trashing the city she wants to represent, the escalating clash over Democrats urging the military to defy President Trump, and shocking revelations about taxpayer money ending up with Somali terrorists.First, they laugh as Democrat Tennessee congressional hopeful Aftyn Behn blasts Republicans for claiming Behn hates Nashville, which is in the district she wants to represent. But Behn's problem isn't with Republicans, it's the audio that still exists of her saying she hates Nashville, the constant bachelorette parties, and even country music.Next, they dig into the comments from lawmakers who cut a video urging members of the military to disobey illegal orders from President Trump. Of course, they cannot point to a single illegal order Trump has issues. Meanwhile, Trump is accusing them of sedition and pointing out that crime can be punishable by death. Jim decimates the empty and false argument the Democrats are peddling and tells Trump he doesn't have to go nuclear over everything.Finally, they dig into the exploding fraud within Minnesota's welfare programs, where budgets that were just a few million dollars a few years ago have now ballooned into the hundreds of millions. Even worse, large sums are reportedly flowing to Somali terrorists. Jim stresses that this massive breakdown has taken place under Gov. Tim Walz's watch.Please visit our great sponsors:Cancel unwanted subscriptions and reach your financial goals faster with Rocket Money at https://RocketMoney.com/MARTINI Stop putting off those doctors' appointments and go to https://ZocDoc.com/3ML to find and instantly book a top-rated doctor today.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. 

 Investigators say Somalis swindled millions in state Medicaid funds through a bogus network of autism treatment centers and sent the money back to Somalia to fund a terror group. No wonder Minnesota lost 48,000 residents last year. The DNC has to take out a BIG loan. Zohran Mamdani visits the White House today and Trump previews the meeting in an epic Truth post. Improvement in the jobs numbers shows a pendulum shift as millions of illegals self deport and Americans find their way back to the labor market. Good News reveals a surprise about the intruder who keeps triggering a man's security cams.

A small business advocate says a Government grant must do more than throw money at a problem. The Taxpayers' Union has revealed the business start up grant has dished out $38 million with little to show for it. Documents retrieved through the Official Information Act show hundreds of the recipients struggled and returned to a benefit within two years. Small Business New Zealand Founder Phil Wicks told Andrew Dickens the recipients are the furthest people away from the labour market. He says they can still succeed but need more mentoring, structure, and clear expectations. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The algorithm strikes again, this time telling Justin about a popular wellness trend known as a Dopamine Detox. Dopamine is often associated with pleasure centers and addiction, and certain corners of the internet think we are overflooded with it.

A welfare expert says one of the Government's grants is a good idea in principle. The Taxpayers' Union has revealed the business start up grant has dished out $38 million with little to show for it. Documents retrieved through the Official Information Act show hundreds of the recipients struggled and returned to a benefit within two years. Former Welfare Expert Advisory Group member Phil O'Reilly told Mike Hosking the execution was woefully bad. He says the problem is MSD spent far too much and there wasn't enough mentoring or measuring of outcomes. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Steve Gruber is joined by Rep. Mike Hoadley, who represents Michigan's 99th District, to break down a new package of Republican economic development bills aimed at ending corporate handouts and ensuring taxpayer dollars only reward real, verifiable job creation. Rep. Hoadley explains how the plan demands transparency, prevents companies from taking money without delivering results, and puts Michigan workers, not political insiders, at the center of economic growth. A sharp contrast to the failed “big check, no jobs” approach of the past, this package focuses on accountability, performance, and genuine investment in Michigan communities.

New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani ran on an expansive affordability agenda that would be paid for by higher taxes on corporations and wealthy individuals. The democratic socialist's vision will be tough to realize, though, because any tax hikes would have to be approved by the New York State legislature and tax hike-averse Gov. Kathy Hochul (D). Local tax practitioners are emphasizing this political reality to worried clients who called and emailed in a hurry after Mandani won the Nov. 4 mayoral contest. “There's been kind of some demystifying as to how can or how will the mayor be able to make these ideas or proposals law," Jeremy Gove, a state and local tax counsel at Eversheds Sutherland, tells Bloomberg Tax editor Benjamin Freed on this week's episode of the Talking Tax podcast. "Explaining this to taxpayers is what we've been tackling over the past week or so.” Gove says that while higher taxes could compel some New York companies and wealthy individuals to decamp for lower-tax states, there's also a "wait and see" sentiment prevailing. Taxpayers might even welcome some proposals from Mamdani, such as hiring more auditors to clear out the Department of Finance's hefty case backlog, he says.

Here we go again—'violence prevention activists' who can't stop committing violent crimes themselves. Is anyone shocked that these so-called peacekeepers are racking up murder and assault charges across liberal cities? We're diving into the absolute circus of anti-cop activists who are literally doing the opposite of what they preach, plus the latest Black Lives Matter fraud investigation that has them scrambling for excuses.From Chicago to DC to Philadelphia, these taxpayer-funded 'community heroes' are shooting girlfriends, planning murders, and beating up cops—all while posing with Democrat governors and cashing those government checks. Meanwhile, Charlie Kirk can't even hold a peaceful event without unhinged leftists turning it into a brawl.What did they expect when they put convicted felons in charge of violence prevention? When will these blue cities learn that hiring criminals to fight crime might not be the brilliant strategy they thought it was? The wheels are coming off, folks, and we're here for every ridiculous moment of it.

Seattle's EBT food stamp fraud ring is thriving, and surprise, surprise - nobody in city hall seems interested in stopping it. We're diving deep into undercover footage showing drug addicts openly trading SNAP benefits for fentanyl cash, turning taxpayer-funded assistance into a drug marketplace feeding ground. This isn't just fraud - it's a $100 billion system being gamed while people overdose daily and honest families struggle to put food on the table.The numbers don't lie: $10 billion in annual fraud, obesity rates hitting 40% in high-SNAP areas, and a revolving door of arrests with zero real consequences. Meanwhile, Seattle's "advocates" keep hoping things will magically improve without addressing the root cause - unchecked drug addiction and zero accountability.Is anyone shocked that giving addicts liquidity creates more chaos? When will we admit that enabling this cycle isn't compassion - it's complicity? What's it going to take for these blue cities to prioritize taxpayers over criminals?

In the early 2000s, while serving in an official capacity as the UK's Trade Envoy, Prince Andrew travelled to Thailand for what was publicly described as a diplomatic mission. According to historian Andrew Lownie, the visit included a stay in a five-star Bangkok hotel rather than at the British embassy, and during what was designated “private time” in the official itinerary he is alleged to have had up to 40 sex workers brought to his hotel suite over a four-day span.The allegations further claim that taxpayer funds were used to cover that trip, and that diplomatic and royal staff helped facilitate the hotel booking and stay. If true, this incident raises serious ethical questions about the use of public office for personal indulgence, the accountability of royals on trade missions, and the lack of transparency in the files covering Andrew's envoy years (2001-2011).During the early 2000s, Prince Andrew is reported to have visited Jeffrey Epstein's New Mexico ranch — identified as Zorro Ranch, near Santa Fe — which has become notorious in civil suits and media scrutiny for alleged sex-trafficking and under-age abuse claims. The allegations in court documents and depositions assert that Epstein used the ranch for illicit activity, including recruiting minors for so-called “massages” and transporting guests to the property via private landing strip. Among the names listed in these documents is Prince Andrew, though the papers do not allege direct sexual activity by him at the ranch; rather, the presence of his name in guest logs or mentions in deposition material raises serious reputational concerns.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

In this episode of ITR Live, Chris Hagenow and Sarah Curry break down the results of Iowa's November local elections, where billions in local debt and dozens of bond measures were on the line. From record-breaking approval totals in Des Moines to a wave of rejections across rural Iowa, the results reveal a complex picture of how taxpayers view government spending at the local level.Sarah shares her statewide analysis of more than $1.7 billion in proposed bonds, noting that just over $1 billion was approved — driven heavily by the historic $260 million Des Moines Public Schools bond. Meanwhile, over half of all bond proposals across Iowa failed, reflecting a growing skepticism toward new debt and long-term property tax commitments.The discussion highlights some of the biggest stories: the Dallas County Courthouse proposal, a “repeat offender” that failed for the second time; the Cedar Rapids and Dubuque school bonds, both scaled-down but still unsuccessful; and smaller cities where just a few dozen voters decided multi-million-dollar questions. Chris and Sarah emphasize how low turnout — often under 20% — gives a handful of votes the power to raise property taxes for decades.The episode closes with a look ahead. The hosts urge Iowans to stay engaged after election night, monitoring how approved projects are implemented and holding local officials accountable for how bond dollars are spent. As Sarah puts it, “Debt equals spending,” and informed taxpayers must stay vigilant if they want lasting relief from rising property taxes.

The Stinchfield Podcast exposes the staggering waste, fraud, and abuse inside America’s SNAP food stamp program. Billions of taxpayer dollars are being drained each year as illegal aliens and ineligible recipients take advantage of a system meant to feed the truly needy. Meanwhile, the data shows an uncomfortable truth — SNAP recipients are, on average, significantly more overweight than Americans who aren’t on the program. This is the result of a bloated bureaucracy that rewards dependency instead of discipline. Grant breaks it all down and demands accountability from Washington for this out-of-control welfare scam. Plus, Grant rips into 60 Minutes for its disgracefully biased interview with President Trump on Sunday night. Once again, the corporate media tried to smear the former president while ignoring the fact that the American people overwhelmingly stand with him. 60 Minutes may have lost touch with reality — but Stinchfield hasn’t. https://GrantLovesGold.com Https://Get20Now.com www.EnergizedHealth.com/Grant www.PatriotMobile.com/Grant Https://Twc.Health/Grant Use "Grant" for 10% Off See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

During the Great Depression, the proliferation of local taxpayers' associations was dramatic and unprecedented. The justly concerned members of these organizations examined the operations of state, city, and county governments, then pressed local officials for operational and fiscal reforms. These associations aimed to reduce the cost of state and local governments to make operations more efficient and less expensive. "Mr. Taxpayer versus Mr. Tax Spender": Taxpayers' Associations, Pocketbook Politics, and the Law during the Great Depression (Temple UP, 2023) by Dr. Linda Upham-Bornstein presents a comprehensive overview of these grassroots taxpayers' leagues beginning in the 1860s and shows how they evolved during their heyday in the 1930s. Dr. Upham-Bornstein chronicles the ways these taxpayers associations organized as well as the tools they used—constructive economy, political efforts, tax strikes, and tax revolt through litigation—to achieve their objectives. Taxpayer activity was a direct consequence of—and a response to—the economic crisis of the Great Depression and the expansion of the size and scope of government. “Mr. Taxpayer versus Mr. Tax Spender” connects collective tax resistance in the 1930s to the populist tradition in American politics and to other broad impulses in American political and legal history. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Tempers flare as PBD, Tom, Brandon, and Bill Pulte dive into the government shutdown chaos. From SNAP spending and illegal immigration to AOC's “healthcare is a human right” claim, the panel debates who's really to blame—Congress, the White House, or a fractured GOP—and what it reveals about America's priorities.

Colleges across America are cashing in on phantom students — kids who never attend class, never complete assignments, and in some cases, don’t even exist. Yet, the government keeps writing checks. With Washington now acting as both lender and banker, taxpayer dollars are flowing to universities for students who are nothing more than names on paper. Grant exposes how this massive education scam rewards institutions for failure, creates perverse incentives to pad enrollment numbers, and leaves hardworking Americans footing the bill for degrees that were never earned. In true Stinchfield fashion, he asks the hard questions: Who’s auditing this system, and why is the government in the business of paying colleges for ghosts?
