Jim is back today and fired up to discuss Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman's resolute denunciation of Hamas, the utter cluelessness of some student protesters, and UCLA Medical School's insane "health equity" class.First, they applaud Sen. Fetterman for highlighting the 200 days since Hamas slaughtered at least 1,200 Jews, raped many others, and took hundreds hostage, including Americans. As Hamas posts video of one hostage - who now only has one arm - Fetterman explains very clearly how the Israel-Hamas war could be over instantly.Next, they salute the college presidents and political leaders who have done an effective job at shutting down anti-Israel protests that refuse to leave private property. And they point out multiple examples of these college students knowing next to nothing about why they're protesting and what the basic facts are about war in the Middle East.Finally, they just shake their heads as a "health equity" class at UCLA Medical School teaches aspiring doctors that weight loss is a "hopeless endeavor" and that "obesity" is a slur "used to exact violence on fat people."Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.com/martiniGet the Deluxe 3-Month Survival Food Kit and the peace of mind your family deserves.

Fetterman's Moral Clarity, Clueless Campus Protesters, UCLA's 'Health Equity' Insanity

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour Host Scot Bertram is in for Jim. Today, Scot and Greg serve up at least one good martini, one that has the potential to be very good, and a really crazy one starring Stacey Abrams.First, they laugh as new Bloomberg poll numbers show President Biden's blatant pandering to Muslim voters in Michigan by verbally attacking Israel at every opportunity is showing small signs of success in that state but it's also causing Donald Trump to grow his lead in virtually every other battleground state.Next, they are cautiously optimistic about recently passed legislation that forces TikTok's parent company to sell the app or have it banned in the U.S. TikTok is well documented to be Chinese Communist Party spyware that harvests personal and national security data while getting millions of Americans - especially young people - addicted to the content, much of which is very harmful. But they also want to be sure this new law does not end up stifling online speech in any way.Then, they get a kick out twice-failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams stating that opposition to the implementation of the DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) agenda in schools is an attack on our democracy. They enjoy seeing how the Democrats now see any position contrary to their agenda as a threat to democracy - and the insanity doesn't stop there.Lastly, these two beleaguered Chicago Bears fans look ahead to Thursday's NFL Draft, in which the Bears have the first pick. Scot is optimistic about the team that's being assembled and Greg is just waiting to see how the Bears will squander this opportunity.Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.com/martiniGet the Deluxe 3-Month Survival Food Kit and the peace of mind your family deserves.  Free shipping on orders over $97. ZBioticshttps://zbiotics.com/3MLVisit today and save 15% at checkout with code 3ML.  

Biden's Pandering Backfires, The Looming TikTok 'Ban,' Opposing DEI Attacks Democracy?

Inez Stepman of the Independent Women's Forum and host of the "High Noon" podcast is in for Jim. Today, we discuss President Biden's absurd changes to Title IX, his feckless equivocating on anti-Semitic college protests, and his federal bureaucrats harassing a business for not hiring criminals. First, they break down the Biden Department of Education's radical changes to Title IX of the Civil Rights Act, adding gender identity protections to an area of law specifically focused on ensuring opportunities for women and girls. Now, the government will force schools at every level to allow students and personnel to use whichever bathroom they identify with, compel speech through mandatory preferred pronoun usage, and strip college students of due process rights when accused of sexual misconduct.  Then, they react to the latest in the anti-Semitic protests happening at Columbia University and many other far-left, supposedly elite institutions. They also react to President Biden condemning the protests but - in the same breath - also condemning "those who don't understand what's going on with the Palestinians." Finally, they shake their heads as Biden-appointed bureaucrats at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) sue Sheetz gas stations for racial discrimination by refusing to hire applicants who failed a criminal background check. Please visit our great sponsors: 4Patriothttps://4Patriots.com/martiniGet the Deluxe 3-Month Survival Food Kit and the peace of mind your family deserves.

The Feds' Chilling Title IX Nonsense, Biden Equivocates on Campus Protests, Sheetz Sued for Not Hiring Ex-Cons

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour Host Scot Bertram is in for Jim. Today, Scot and Greg tackle virulent anti-Semitism on the campuses of many supposedly elite colleges, Dems' wishful thinking on this summer's convention running without major disruptions from protesters, and the impact RFK Jr. may have in Michigan.First, they chronicle how ugly anti-Semitic protests are consuming campuses from Columbia to MIT to Yale and beyond with demonstrators trying to "occupy" parts of the schools while harassing, intimidating, and threatening Jewish students and faculty. These protests are overtly pro-Hamas now and the "Students for Justice in Palestine" say they plan to bring this to colleges throughout the country.Next, they roll their eyes as Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker looks at these protests and says he doesn't expect any problems from them when the Democratic National Convention comes to Chicago this summer. It's a bold prediction given Chicago's inability to prevent chaos on a normal day.Finally, as Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. qualifies for the presidential ballot in Michigan, how big of a factor will he become in a state the Biden campaign is already very nervous about. They also look at some polling about how RFK Jr. may impact the race and the big problem the Trump campaign seems to be having in getting supporters to vote.Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.com/martiniGet the Deluxe 3-Month Survival Food Kit and the peace of mind your family deserves.  Free shipping on orders over $97. Fast Growing Treeshttps://fastgrowingtrees.com/martiniUse code Martini to save an additional 15% off on your first order. ZBioticshttps://zbiotics.com/3MLVisit today and save 15% at checkout with code 3ML.

Anti-Semites Occupy Campuses, Pritzker Promises Calm DNC, RFK Jr.'s Impact on Michigan

Join Jim and Greg as they discuss Israel's response to Iran, the Chinese threat to America's critical infrastructure, and the public political fight among the Kennedys.First, they welcome news of an Israeli military response against Iran. Details remain sketchy but it seems to be a much smaller operation than Iran launched over the weekend. So is this the end of the back-and-forth or is there more to come? Next, they shudder as FBI Director Christopher Wray says China is actively trying to hack and disable critical U.S. infrastructure like electricity, water, and more. Finally, they discuss most Kennedy family members endorsing President Biden over RFK, Jr. But do voters care what the Kennedys think? And what does this event tell us about how worried the Biden campaign is about RFK, Jr.?Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.com/martiniGet the Deluxe 3-Month Survival Food Kit and the peace of mind your family deserves.
