Join Jim and Greg as they cautiously cheer Sen. Joe Manchin for calling the Dems' $3.5 trillion wish list "fiscal insanity."  They also welcome the news that Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell was able to force Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to agree to fund the government without raising the debt ceiling.  And they're enraged as the government keeps doing more to thwart than assist private rescue missions out of Afghanistan.Please visit our great sponsors:Nutrafol  https://nutrafol.comUse promo code MARTINI to save $15 off your first month’s subscription.

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.

Israel Strikes Iran, China Targets U.S. Power Grids & Water, Most Kennedys Rally for Biden

Join Jim and Greg as they sound off on some good news out of the House of Representatives and some really crazy news about taxpayer-funded media and President Biden's latest whoppers. First, they're glad to see a big bipartisan majority in the House of Representatives vote to declare the Iran-backed Houthis to be a "Foreign Terrorist Organization" again. If the Senate also passes it, Jim and Greg hope Biden will the sign the bill and not stubbornly stick to his decision to reverse President Trump designation of the Houthis as a Foreign Terrorist Organization. Then, they wince as National Public Radio (NPR) basically forces longtime editor Uri Berliner out after he publicly scolded NPR for engaging in partisan politics by stifling stories like the Hunter Biden laptop and the origins of COVID while reporting Rep. Adam Schiff's version of the Trump-Russia investigation as the truth. Instead, leaders there are proving most of Berliner's accusations true and embracing leftist narratives. They also recoil at a TED Talk that new NPR CEO Katherine Maher delivered about how we all have our own truths and that building consensus is more important than pursuing truth. Finally, they groan as President Biden repeatedly tells the thoroughly disproven story of his uncle allegedly getting by cannibals in New Guinea during World War II. And Biden also claims he told Israel not to go into Haifa - which is an Israeli city. But Jim says the statement is also very  problematic on another level. 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. 

Make the Houthis Terrorists Again, NPR Embraces Leftist Label, Biden's Latest Lies

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour Host Scot Bertram is in for Jim. Today, Scot and Greg serve up three crazy martinis ranging from Capitol Hill to women's sports to the high school classroom.First, they sigh as some House Republicans vow to move forward on trying to remove House Speaker Mike Johnson over his handling of the House agenda - and what his critics call passing the Democrats' agenda. There are valid criticisms of Johnson's decisions, positions, and priorities on some issues, but what would removing another Speaker of the House accomplish now, when Republicans have an even smaller majority than they did when Johnson was elected?Next, they roll their eyes as President Biden and others on the left try to pander to women by demanding WNBA players get equal pay with the men in the NBA. Of course the big wage disparity has nothing to do with the sex of the players but whether their league is profitable. The NBA makes billions of dollars each year. The WNBA has lost money for its entire existence. Finally, they highlight the case of a North Carolina high school student who was suspended for three days for asking his teacher whether the word "alien" in his vocabulary lesson referred to space aliens or people who come into the U.S. with no green cards. 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. Moinkhttps://moinkbox.com/martiniVisit today to get one year of the best Bacon you’ll ever taste free.
