  Speaker 1: Welcome to the Three Martini Lunch.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: Grab a stool next to Greg Karambas of Radio America
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: and Jim Garrity of National Review.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Three Martini's coming up.
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: Really glad you're with us for the Friday edition of
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: the Three Martini Lunch. Great to be at the end
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: of the week with you and plenty to get to today. Jim,
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: we see these surveys come out from time to time.
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: Which states are the best ones for economy or low
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: taxes or low regulation? Which states are people moving to
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: or moving away from? And almost invariably, the best states
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: are always red states. The worst states are always blue states.
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: And that's no exception on this latest survey. It comes
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: to us from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. And as
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: of September 2026, so last month, jobs as a percentage
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: of pre-lockdown levels, the top and bottom 10 states. So
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: how do they compare to before the COVID lockdowns? And
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: they label these as governments with Republican trifectas, meaning governor
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: and both chambers of the legislature, Democratic trifecta, or one
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: party has two out of three, and it's lean Republican
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: or lean Democrat. So the top 10 are Idaho and Utah, Nevada,
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: which is lean Democrat, Texas, South Carolina, Florida, North Carolina, Arizona, Tennessee,
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: and Arkansas. And most of those have Republican trifectas. North
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: Carolina and Arizona are lean Republican. And then on the
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: bottom 10 states, Michigan, West Virginia, one of the rare
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: red states, Illinois, Oregon, Maryland, Iowa, also a red state, Massachusetts, Vermont, Hawaii,
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: and the District of Columbia, which, of course, is an
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: estate and shouldn't be, but it gets included on the
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: list anyway. So, Jim, not a shock, but good to
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: see some confirmation evidence here.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And look, I remember looking at cities that had
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: great rates of job creation, and most of them were
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: either red or purple, a couple in North Carolina. So
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: it kind of depends on whether you want to count
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: it as, you know, do you count by the governor?
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Do you count by the state legislative majorities? But basically,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: the only deep blue area city that was on there
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: in a blue state was Seattle, Washington. And we've talked
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: a bit about the podcast, the far left mayor that
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: they have there who said when warned that businesses were
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: going to leave, her response was buy. And now all
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: of a sudden, oh, wait, our tax base is disappearing.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: How did that possibly happen or something? By the way,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: I noticed that if you take something like Austin, Texas,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: that is a very democratic city. But it's in a
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: red state. And it's an interestingly case in which you
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: can't say that the city of Austin is anti-innovation. It
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: is anti-business development and things like that. So there are
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: gradations of this. However, there's just this general attitude of,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: what are your tax levels? What is the overall perspective
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: of the governing class towards business? Do they see it
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: as a trough to eat at? Do they see it as...
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: something to be, you know, supported and nurtured and something
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: to not take too much? Or do they see it
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: as a giant pot of money that they can take
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: as much as they want from? And we've talked about
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: not just this, the billionaire tax in California. Do you
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: know what the income level that's for a lot of
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: these millionaire taxes, it generally kicks in at like $ 200, 000. Now,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: if you do that, that's not really a millionaire tax now,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: is it? And then the second thing is, is that,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: you know, with the cost of living, I mean, California
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: has by far the worst cost of living, but By
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: and large, blue states have higher costs of living than
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: red states. This is a very broad generalization, but red
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: states are generally bigger, emptier, less coastal areas. And so
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: you can expand out your suburbs in every direction. So
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: the suburbs can get bigger. The exurbs can get further out.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: There's always land. And if there's always land and relatively
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: easy zoning laws, you can build more housing. So there's
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: always some place for you to move and buy that
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: first house and get your life started. If you're a coastal,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: like San Francisco, it's a peninsula. There's just nowhere to
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: build anything. So you'd have to build up. And as
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: we know, we can't do that, Greg, because shadows can
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: kill people. I'm exaggerating slightly, but you get the idea
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: of how when you have nimbyism, when you have this
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: anti-growth mindset, when you decide like, no, no, I like
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: the city exactly the way it is and I do
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: not want to increase housing. You are cutting off your
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: nose to spite your face because you're creating a situation
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: which people cannot move there. You have no room for growth.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: You cannot expand your customer base for businesses there. You
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: cannot expand your taxpayer base for that. You put yourself
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: in a situation where there are two kinds of cities
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: in America. They're the ones where nobody wants to move
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: here and our economy is dying and our city is
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: declining and our town is declining because everything works. Or
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: I hate this place because everybody's moving here. I can't
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: find parking. Traffic is so much terror. All the Austin complaints,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: all the Nashville complaints. And it's very tough to be
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: in the middle. So the question is, which side would
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: you rather lean on? By and large, blue states are,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: we are perfect the way we are. We don't need
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: to grow. We're going to do just fine. And then
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: they wonder why they're declining. Whereas red states have decided, okay,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: we're going to take the problems of growth and Because
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: it comes along with a lot of job creation and
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: a lot of prosperity and a lot of people able
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: to go out and live the American dream. Look, I
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: think the consequences are now abundantly obvious and Americans are
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: voting with their feet. And that's why every census, the
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: red states keep getting a bunch of seats and the
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: blue states keep losing a bunch of seats. This is
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: not algebra. This is not unbelievably complicated. So maybe the
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: blue states should look at this and say, huh, what
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: are we doing wrong? And look hard, folks.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: No, I think they're, I don't know if intentionally, but
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: it seems sometimes that's intentionally trying to make life harder
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: for people, both in terms of individuals and businesses. I mean,
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: moving your business to a different state is a massive headache.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: It's a lot of work. It costs a lot of money.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: You don't want to do it. And the only reason
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: you do do it is because staying where you are
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: just becomes even more miserable, whether it's taxes or regulation
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: or environmental policies that just drive you crazy and drive
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: up your costs so you can't even turn a profit anymore.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: And so then you end up moving to a state
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: that's going to give you better deals and less regulation
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: and lower taxes and all that stuff. Uh, again, not
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: rocket science.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: It's, it's what.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: Continues to happen. Uh, if this was, you know, every
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: once in a while, nine out of 10 of the
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: top states were, were, were red, but for the most part,
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: it was five and five, you know, you say, well, well,
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: I guess they were kind of figuring it out, but no,
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: this is consistently what's happening. And like you said, it's,
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: it shows up in the census and the electoral college
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: map as well.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: Well, let's talk about, uh, another important challenge in this country,
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: and that is celebrating and defending life. And that includes,
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: of course, life in the womb. And for young women
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: who may be in an unplanned pregnancy, it can be
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: very scary. And there's a lot of voices, maybe her
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: own conscience is saying, you can't do this, or people
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: around her saying, get rid of that baby. But she
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: knows deep down that she would love to bring this
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: baby into the world, that the baby deserves life, but
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: she doesn't know how she's going to care for this child. Well,
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: that's where human coalition comes in, and comes alongside these women.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: Human Coalition meets these women at that critical moment. And
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: when a woman reaches out, she's connected with trained nursing
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: and counseling professionals. Nothing gets outsourced. Human Coalition operates its
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: own clinics and works with a nationwide network of pregnancy
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: centers trained to help women facing abortion decisions. And their
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: support does not stop when the baby is born. When
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Human Coalition gets a woman on the phone, they can
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: help her choose life about 90% of the time.
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: Human Coalition has already helped more than 35,000 women choose life.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: So help them find even more women and convince them
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: to choose life as well. It only takes a monthly
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: donation of $ 26 to create a life-saving moment, a moment
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: where a mother receives support instead of pressure. So be
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: her lifeline, create a life-saving moment, and go to humancoalition.org
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: slash martini. That is humancoalition.org slash martini and give today. Jim,
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: I was just, I think last week or maybe the
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: week before, whenever I was gone, it seems like a
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: little while ago now, you and Craig talked about Hillary
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: Clinton reemerging with a podcast just in time for the midterms.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: And most Democrats were probably like, oh, great. Hillary's back.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: But she's doing this podcast with Kara Swisher, who permanently
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: looks very disappointed in everyone. And the issue, which is
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: now standard Democratic policy, is that we need to pack
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: the Supreme Court. We need to expand to 13 justices.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: So here's Hillary's logic for why it needs to happen
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: and when. it needs to happen.
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: And I also think it would be very difficult to
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: have term limits on Supreme Court justices because you'd have
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: to amend the Constitution. I think instead, we should seriously
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: look at expanding the court while the Democrats are in power.
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: You know, it used to be that you'd have one
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: justice for each circuit. We now have 13 circuits. We
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: should have 13 justices. So I would be in favor
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: of looking at that and seeing if we could make
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: it work.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: So when the Democrats have control, Jim, I would have loved,
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: now that this has become the Democratic talking point across
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: the board, it's not even a fringe position anymore, but
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: the Republicans a few months to go to say.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: You know what? Good idea.
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: Let's do it right now and see how the Democrats
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: responded to it. It would have been a bad idea
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: and hopefully would have been a bluff, but you would
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: have seen them backskate so fast. It would have been
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: really funny.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: You took my my first thought right there, which is
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: that if this is a good idea, it is a
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: good idea. Like things don't become good ideas only when
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: the timing is right and when your party is in power.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: If it's a good idea, it's a good idea for
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: all the time. If it's a bad idea, it's a
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: bad idea for all the time. We've had nine Supreme
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: Court justices for a very long time. The country reacted
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: very negatively. But FDR, was it generally pretty well beloved? Okay,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: there were opponents, but FDR, you look back, is not
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: considered one of the monsters of American history. I can
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: hear some listeners saying, he should be. Never mind that
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Jimmy Carter talk. Having said that, the one time the
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: American public were like, oh, no, no, no, you don't
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: want to do it, was when he tried to pack
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: the Supreme Court. Generally, the whole point of the Supreme
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: Court is its job is to rule on whether a
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: law is constitutional. It is there to interpret the Constitution.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: The Supreme Court really should not, if we ever reach
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: a day where the U.S. Supreme Court is giving a
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: particular president everything he wants. And that's definitely a bad sign.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Something's gone terribly. If there ever is a day the
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Supreme Court is giving a president nothing he wants, well,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: then we've probably gone too far in the opposite direction
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: as well. The whole point of it is to assess,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: is this consistent with the Constitution? Is this consistent with precedent?
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: And is this consistent with the intention of the founding fathers?
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: That is the role of Supreme Court. The fact that
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: you're not getting your way is not necessarily an injustice
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: or a sign that the system is broken or something
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: like that. And I like how she's like, well, we
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: could have, you know, but we could do a constitutional amendment.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: That would be hard. Yes. But like, it's very, so
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: let's find a workaround. No, no. If you, if, if
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: what you really want can only be done by amending
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: the constitution, chop, chop, let's get started. Let's, let's go
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: out and build the case for that. Like I, by
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: the way, I think if you actually pulled, you know,
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: said to people, you know, considering how we've had justices
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: on their, probably long after they should be. I have
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: never related more to the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg than
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: the time she had a glass of wine and was
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: like completely dropped over during the U.S. State of the
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: Union address. I get it, Justice Ginsburg. But having said that,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: if you are in a situation, we've had a real
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: problem with geriatrics in high positions of power in the U.S.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: government lately. maybe it's a good idea. Whether you want
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: to have an age cutoff or whether you want to say,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: you know what, let's create 15-year terms, 18-year terms. Let's
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: put that idea on the table. Let's see how it goes.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: That would be a real issue for the ones who
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: are already on there. And maybe you'd have to grandfather
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: them in. But you could do this. And I suspect
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: you could actually get people to agree to this, to
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: say that, look, in 15, 20 years, you could have
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: a real legacy on the Supreme Court. As long as
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: you apply it to everybody starting at a certain date,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: that could work. But you can't do it as a
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: workaround of the conservatives finally have a majority on the
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Supreme Court and it really upsets us. Ergo, we must
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: work around this. That's what all this really is, transparently.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: I'm also just kind of intrigued. I find myself wondering
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: who was going to listen to Kara Swisher and Hillary
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Clinton talk about the elections. And Greg, apparently it's us.
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: Well, the more people hear them, hopefully the more insane
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: they see the Democratic agenda being. I don't think Donald
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: Trump thinks the Supreme Court is stacked. And I use
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: that word because he just he just said last week
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: or two weeks ago that he really regrets all three
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: of his Supreme Court justices because they don't give him
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: everything he wants. In that University of Chicago appearance by
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: Alyssa Slotkin, where, you know, the whole I want to
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: make sure that young people deterrence. We need to deter
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: people from working for the U.S. government in the branch
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: of government we don't control.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Yes, you know.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: She and the moderator of that discussion consistently, I watched
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: some of that whole event to get the context of
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: that quote, was the Supreme Court is stacked. They use
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: that term over and over and over again. And I
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: assume it's because Mitch played hardball on the Scalia vacancy
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: after he died. And some people think that Amy Coney
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: Barrett was rushed before the 2020 election. The Democrats would
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: have done the exact same thing and they'll do the
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: exact same thing in the next two years if they
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: have a Democratic Senate and Trump is in the White House.
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: So stacked, they've just convinced themselves that because they don't
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: have the Supreme Court majority, that this court is illegitimate
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: and way too many people in this country believe them.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: I don't like their decisions is not a synonym for illegitimate.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: And stacked does not mean, you know, it's not the
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: same as the, you know, there were enough votes to
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: confirm the justices that I don't like. Like these, you know,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: and you see these terms conflated. For those who say, well,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: the president, you know, when Republicans control Congress, they can,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: you know, he can just nominate whoever he wants. Does
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: the name Harriet Meyers ring a bell?
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Like when the president nominates somebody who is not a
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: good choice, you know, you like you will find opposition
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: within his own party. Right. Robert Democrats control the Senate
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: during Robert Bork.
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: But it was not like, you know, it was overwhelming.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: If I remember correctly, there was some Republican opposition to that.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: There was.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Matt Gaetz. Oh, by the way, folks, Clayface is out. Uh,
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: the new movie from DC. So anyway, just, those two
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: things just popped into my head. Anyway, Matt Gaetz was
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: supposed to be the, uh, US Attorney General, uh, for
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: about 20 minutes there. And then, uh, you know, he,
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: then Trump rescinded, like, there, when somebody nominates a really
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: bad choice, you can find opposition even in the Republican
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: Party under President Trump. And the fact that Democrats haven't
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: done that is a sign that, well, actually, you know, maybe,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: maybe the Dominio Gorsuch and, uh, uh, Kavanaugh and, um,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: Amy Coney Barrett, like maybe they're just really qualified. Maybe
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: they're really good at this. And maybe, you know, like,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: and you know, if that's the case, you can't just,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: you can't say, well, I don't like them. Therefore they're illegitimate. No, no,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: the words have meanings and you don't get to just
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: redefine them like that.
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: So no, that's exactly right. My favorite term is the
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: president's handpicked That's every nomination from all time. Of course,
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: that's the president's choice.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: Also, it kind of suggests like they have a whole
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: bunch of judges, federal judges come in, in one of
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: those Forrest Gump box of chocolate type things. And he
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: kind of, and he picks them by hand, right? By claw,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: like the games you find at the bowling alley or something.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: He used AI? How else do you think he picks them?
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: We don't have power, therefore it's illegitimate. That's the left's
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: feeling on that and a whole lot of other stuff.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: Well, to get the bad taste of the left's relentless
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: thirst for power out of your mouth, let's go with lorenco.
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: That's better for you, chewing gum, that uses the same
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: mineral your teeth are made of to support daily enamel health.
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: And Jim, what is the key to supporting daily enamel health?
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: Well, it's nano-hydroxyapatite. Nano, as in nanotechnology. Hydrox, as in
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: the non-Oreo cookies that are probably not good for your
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: teeth that you're eating a lot of. Appetite, which is
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: what you have for all those cookies and things that
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: are not good for you and full of sugar and
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: are going to be bad for your teeth. Nanohydroxyapatite is
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: the mineral that your enamel is actually made of. Lorene Co.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: strengthens your enamel and repairs the damage. Comes in tons
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: of flavors, including mint, cinnamon, bubblegum, and berry. And don't forget,
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: they have a really great fluoride-free toothpaste as well.
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: I love the gum. Great flavor, lasts a long time.
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: And the toothpaste is fantastic too. And as Jim said,
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: lots of different flavors.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: So get it.
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: Right now, Lorene Co. is offering our listeners up to

• 16:50
  Speaker 3: slash 3ml for up to 50% off. All right, Jim,
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: let's talk about a couple of Senate races here, two
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: that aren't getting a ton of attention, one more than
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: the other. Up in Alaska, of course, we've got Dan
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: Sullivan running for a third term, the Republican up there.
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: He's got a tough race against Mary Peltola, the former
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: Democratic Congresswoman, because, you know, the congressional seat there is statewide,
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: so she's well known. And then there's this other guy
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: in the race who's also named Dan Sullivan. And in
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: their quirky four candidates reached the general election rule, there
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: are two Dan Sullivans on the ballot. If that weren't enough,
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: the other Dan Sullivan, a retired teacher, is getting some
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: money from an unusual source. There's a super PAC called
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: Right for Alaska that has spent close to $ 1. 15 million
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: to support.
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: The other Dan Sullivan. And it took in, out of
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: that $ 1. 15 million, $ 990, 000 from the left-wing 1630 Fund, according
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: to Federal Election Commission data. And is Right for Alaska
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: based in Alaska? Oh, no. It's based in Hudson, Wisconsin.
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: Right for Alaska has also taken in $ 1. 8 million from
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: the Liberty Force Action Fund, a dark money 501c4 that
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: doesn't have to disclose its donors. And meanwhile, over in Montana,
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: we've got a different situation. Montana is one of those
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: states where Democrats know that a Democrat's not likely to win.
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: So they pick their candidate and then run them as
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: an independent. They're doing it with Dan Osborne in Nebraska.
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: They're doing it in South Dakota. I think they're doing
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: it in Idaho. They've done it in Kansas before. Well,
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: the Democrat who won the primary in Montana wouldn't get
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: out of the race. Her name's Alani Bankhead. And the
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: Democrats have been pressuring her and demonizing her. And now, Jim,
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: apparently bribing her to get out of this race. And
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: it's still not working. But here's Alani Bankhead explaining how
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: the Democrats tried to get her out of the race.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: Were there other people who offered you anything to drop
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: out of the race?
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: Yes. Really?
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: They offered to be, and I'm probably going to butcher this,
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: but the DNC's head of female veteran candidates or something
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: like that. And I was like, why would I go
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: work for an organization that is actively working against me
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: and stabbing me in the back? Like, no, I'm not
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: going to do that. So.
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: Jim, it just cracks me up that the Democratic Party
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: is furious that the Democrat won't get out of the
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: race so their fake independent Democratic candidate can get more votes.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: Democrats against Democrats. Pack, please. We're responsible for the content
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: of this advertising. So first of all, Greg, I am
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: a fan of the underrated, under-remembered Eddie Murphy comedy, The
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: Distinguished Gentleman, in which he ends up running for Congress
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: and getting elected to Congress because he changes his name
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: to have the same name as the recently suddenly deceased incumbent,
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: Jeff Johnson. And he runs his entire campaign making note.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: He is a younger black man. This is an older
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: white guy who gets elected. And his whole slogan is
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: Jeff Johnson, the name you know, right? It's kind of
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: turned into this joke amongst people who follow politics, of
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: how name ID can be such a powerful figure. Now,
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: it's a very funny movie. Dear Democrats, it is not
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: an instruction manual. It is not the way you're supposed
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: to go about. The movie was not saying, we all
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: like Eddie Murphy, so we like the protagonist of the movie,
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: but we're not saying, yeah, this is the way people
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: should be elected. It should be entirely on the familiarity
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: of your name, because then we would have like 100
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: John Smiths in the hip. Apparently, 38% of Alaskans are
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: named Dan Sullivan. That's the only thing I can conclude
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: from this story. But I would just kind of say,
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: let's say, this is all probably being done to help Pelota,
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: but nonetheless, let's say that the other Dan Sullivan were
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: to win. How can you claim a mandate? Well, Americans
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: thought I was this other... My constituents thought I was
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: this other guy. Surprise! I'm going to vote for whatever
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: I want because you thought I was the other... Like, no. Like,
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: wouldn't you like to say, I got elected because I
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: put forth an agenda, a priorities, a set of values
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: before the electorate, and more of them liked mine than
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: the others. By the way, my colleague, Michael Brennandorti. Michael
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: and I don't see eye to eye on a bunch
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: of stuff. It is a very good piece. I talked
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: about it in North National Review, but he also wrote
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: for this other publication. His name escapes me. But the
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: gist is, like whenever you go into, like elections inevitably
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: run to a certain extent on trust, right? You know,
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: back in 2000, we all thought, oh, you know, elections
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: are pretty simple. Whoever gets the most votes wins. And
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: then we see the bug-eyed guy holding up the paper
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: with the hanging chad and all that kind of stuff.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: And we get to realize, oh, wow, we don't really
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: know how much, apparently the story was, well, if the
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: number of ballots that remain to be counted are smaller
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: than the margin, then they just don't count them. And
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: we're like, what? Whatever happened to counting? We want to
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: know what the margin is. Oh, we decided. There were
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: bad decisions. By and large, that's been exercised, as far
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: as I can tell. But when you go into this
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: ranked choice voting, it's more that you have to trust
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: into the system of, well, actually, this person got more
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: third place votes than this guy with more fourth place votes.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: And the moon was rising in Sagittarius. And they qualified
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: because of the in-conference record. against mutual opponents, but the
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: AP poll had them, you know, like it gets into
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: this ludicrously complicated system instead of the one person who
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: got the most votes won. And there's this very, like,
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: I understand, oh, we're trying to discourage extremism and we're
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: trying to encourage consensus. And I get all that, but
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: it requires every more thing of like, look, this is
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: a very complicated system. We, the election, trust us. And
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: it's one of those things like, well, wait a second,
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: can you? And all this stuff is happening. The thing
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: where you need to do trigonometry to figure out who
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: won the race, not a good, you know, that's not
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: a good system. If you want to have more people
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: doubting the election results, enact ranked choice voting, where the
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: election officials are like, trust us, it's very complicated. But
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: this candidate who did not get the most votes actually won,
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: you know. And so like, there's that. And also just
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: the idea, I understand that, you know, people are very
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: upset with both parties right now. And the most popular
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: thing in the world to say, I'm an independent. And
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: Dan Osborne was the guy who was like, you know,
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: you voted for Bernie Sanders, but he's an independent. No, no.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: It's Bernie Sanders himself. Bernie Sanders ran for the Democratic
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: presidential nomination. He's technically, and I mean technically, an independent.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: Caucuses with the Democratic Party, votes with the Democratic Party
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: 90-some percent of the time, except when he thinks he
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: should be even further left than they actually are. Angus King,
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: I guess he votes against his party more than Bernie Sanders,
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: but that's not a particularly high bar to clear. If
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: you're going to be an independent, be an independent. Vote
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: against your party a bunch of times. If you don't
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: vote against your party, you really don't deserve the name independent.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: It's kind of straight up in there. And so with
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: this whole case of like, oh, the DNC offered to
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: make up a job for me in order to not run.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: You want to say, thinking of office space and the
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: actor who passed away, what do you do here, DNC?
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: Because right now you're doing everything you can to prevent
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: Democrats from running for office in exchange for an independent, wink, wink,
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: that isn't really an independent. Exactly.
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: And if anyone's paying attention and they hear the Democrats saying,
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: you have to get out so the independent can win,
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: are they really going to fall for the independent label there?
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: If you had just run this independent guy as a
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: Democrat and you put all your weight on, you know,
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: towards his candidacy, he probably would be the nominee and
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: then you would have your head-to-head matchup. So the only
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: people to blame... for this conundrum that you have where
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: you have two lefties out of three that are vying
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: for the votes here at the end are yourselves and
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: your own duplicity. So you're getting what you paid for.
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: Well done, Democrats. Love to see it. All right. When
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: we come back, Jim had a couple of football analogies there,
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: or at least sports analogies. When we come back, we're
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: actually going to talk about the NFL and a stupid policy,
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: at least in my opinion, that's probably run its course.
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: And Jim, as we close here, we're heading into another
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: NFL weekend. Glad to see the Bears won last night
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: up to five and two. But the issue that really
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: was the big sports story earlier in the week was
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: Jalen Hurts, quarterback for the Eagles, Super Bowl champion, out
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: for the season with blood clots in his lungs. He
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: had a blood clot even before the Eagles a couple
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: of weeks ago went to England to play the Jaguars.
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: He took two transatlantic flights with blood clots, which is
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: not a good idea. Now, the Steelers and the Saints
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: are getting ready to play this week in Paris. And
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: I don't know if you've been following the headlines. If
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: you listen to this podcast, you sure do. There's been
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: some unrest in Paris. In fact, so much so that
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: the Steelers had to cancel their fan event. Jim, I've
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: always hated these games because it throws the team schedules off.
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: Some team loses a home game. You know, you've got
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: turf issues in Brazil more than once. The Rams and
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: the 49ers started the season in Australia. The 49ers said, oh,
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: we got to get there a week early. The Rams said, no,
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: let's just dip in and out and see what happens.
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: Worked out better for the 49ers. Just be done with them.
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: I know you want to go global. Just let them
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: watch online.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: It's stupid.
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: Let's play the games where they should be played.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: First of all, there's a lot to unpack here and
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: what's usually our shortest short sweet item at the end.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: But first of all, Greg, who did the Bears beat
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: last night?
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: Patriots.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: The New England Patriots. They lost. By any chance, did
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: they play a team last week that just beat the
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: hell out of them? Like they didn't win the game,
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: but they beat them up physically. And then in the
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: short week on a Thursday, they had to, you know,
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: I would say that except that's my makeup call for
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: the Bears slaughtering the Jets earlier this year. Chicago Bears,
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: you're welcome. I completely, first of all, and also thank
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: God Jalen Hurts seems to be on the mend. He's
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: going to be out for the rest of the year.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: But we all want to see Jalen Hurts around for
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: a very long time. Preferably playing football, but you don't
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: want to do anything that is that seriously endangering to
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: your health. And fair questions of like, wait, when were
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: they able to determine this? Did he play with them?
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: And stuff like that. So, you know. Third thing, like, yeah,
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: we've always hated the international games. I remember when they
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: used to start playing preseason games overseas. And that was
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: fine because it's preseason. It's minimal. What is going on
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: with the NFL? So Roger Goodell, who like takes a
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: giant pile of money to wipe away his tears of
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: laughter every time we complain about this, is a recognition
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: of the fact the NFL, every person who is a
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: natural football fan is already a fan of the NFL.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: When people are like, why is Bad Bunny the halftime show?
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: Because Bad Bunny's fan base, like the Venn diagram of
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: Bad Bunny's fan base and the NFL fan base does
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: not overlap a great deal. You can name all kinds
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: of bands, all kinds of performers who NFL fans already
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: know and already like and would happily watch for the
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl halftime show. They pick somebody who isn't appealing
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: to NFL fans because they want that audience to watch
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: the Super Bowl as well as everything else. The international
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: games are about taking the already massive fan base of
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: the NFL and expanding it even further to an international
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: fan base. I don't know how many European people are...
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: diehard NFL fans. If they are, great. If they aren't,
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: but we, this is where I'm going to turn into
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: a nationalist. America first. We, the American NFL fan base,
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: are putting up with this nonsense where we have to
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: watch our team playing at 9.30 in the morning. And usually, obviously,
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: on the one hand, you see that usually there's a
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: time where they do a photo op or something like that.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: But NFL players will tell you, they get into a
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: rhythm during the season. First of all, I already don't
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: like the Thursday night games. So it's always, you know, Sunday, Monday,
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: your body takes a couple of days to recover, then
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: the practicing, the game prep. So first of all, Thursday
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: night games, like the one last, that's a terrible idea.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: Much shorter schedule for the body to get prepared from
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: the previous week. Much less time to prepare for a
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: long time. I still think you can argue. Thursday night
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: games are just not as well played, not as entertaining,
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: and I think a higher rate of injuries because of
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: all that stuff. That's problem number one. The international games, well,
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: it takes at least a day to get over to
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: these European cities, sometimes South America. I keep hearing rumors
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: that the Jacksonville Jaguars are going to move to London.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: Extremely unlikely. There was a rumor for a while, because
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: there was a while Jaguar attendance fans was not great.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: The owner had ties in London when Woody Johnson was
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: the U.S. ambassador to the U.K. There was talk that
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: the Jets were going to go. The Jets are not
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: going to go over there. You can't have teams on
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: opposite sides of the Atlantic. It wouldn't work for a
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: lot of sports, but it's really not going to work
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: for the NFL teams. And so the idea of someday
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: putting a franchise in London or some other European city
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: does not make sense. This is watering down the game.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: This is making it worse for American fans in pursuit
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: of a fan base that, yeah, they got money, but
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: they're always going to love soccer over there more than
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: they love the NFL. And I just don't know if
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: the NFL... is ever going to be a, you know,
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: day in, day out sports obsession for Europeans because all
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: the teams are in America. So it just doesn't make
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: a lot of sense to me. If you wanted to
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: say Mexico City, that would be, or a Canadian city.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: I know the Buffalo Bills played a couple of games
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: in Toronto back, you know, years and years ago, that
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: would at least make more sense because you wouldn't have
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: the issues of the time change and travel times and
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff. But it would make more sense, ironically,
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: considering our previous martini, to put an NFL team in
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: Alaska than a European city.
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: Absolutely. You mentioned the injuries. The Bears suffered a major
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: injury last night as well with our tight end Cole Komet, probably.
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: It's not looking good. And you're right about the quality
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: of play on Thursdays. I don't think the quality of
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: the play of the international games is as good. And
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: so Roger Goodell keeps crowing on about how he cares
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: about player safety. Neither of these things helping player safety
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: at all. They're moving in the opposite direction. So he
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: won't listen to us, but it needed to be said. Anyway, Jim,
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: good luck to the Jets this weekend if they're playing.
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: And I'll see you on Monday.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: This is why he gets booed at every NFL draft.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: I will see you Monday, Greg. Enjoy your weekend. Now
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: that you already have a Bears win, we'll see how
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: the Jets do Sunday. Excellent.
