3 Martini Lunch Radio America

Inez Stepman of the Independent Women's Forum and host of the "High Noon" podcast is in for Jim. Today, Inez and Greg discuss the Supreme Court's reversal of the ban on bump stocks, the alarming speculation that the Biden administration is seriously considering a post-war U.S. intervention in Gaza, and some nauseating decisions made by two Biden judicial nominees which protected criminal pedophiles.

First, they applaud the Supreme Court for overturning the ban on bump stocks, ruling that they do not transform semi-automatic weapons into automatic weapons. They also touch on Merrick Garland being held in contempt of Congress for refusing to release the unedited Biden-Hur recording, and whether or not this action on the House's part will lead to the eventual release of the recording.

Next, they raise their eyebrows at the Biden administration's apparent consideration of U.S involvement in post-war Gaza. Inez and Greg point out that placing our soldiers in this hotbed of terrorism severely risks exposing them to attack.

Finally, they delve into the sordid rulings of two of President Biden's judicial nominees, one of whom, Julia Lipez, suspended the prison sentence of a predator who sexually assaulted two girls, saying she "saw good in him." The other, Sarah Netburn, infamously recommended the transfer of a male child rapist to a women's prison facility after the perpetrator claimed to identify as a woman.

Inez Stepman of the Independent Women's Forum and host of the "High Noon" podcast is in for Jim. Today, Inez and Greg welcome a federal judge strongly rejecting the Biden administration's rewrite of Title IX, wonder if Republicans will be able to punch back effectively on abortion anytime soon, and laugh as the left says election results they don't like are a threat to democracy.

First, they applaud the federal court ruling that the Biden administration's efforts to redefine "sex" in Title IX to enshrine the left's gender identity agenda and evisceration of due process rights clearly guts the intent of Title IX and also violates the constitutional requirement for such changes to come through Congress.

They also note Thursday's Supreme Court decision dodging the merits of the case on the FDA and abortifacients and consider whether Republicans are ever going to get out of the political starting blocks on this issue nearly two years after the Dobbs decision. Inez says Americans are suddenly having to exercise political muscles that had atrophied since Roe v. Wade and Republicans were caught flat-footed by their own victory.

Finally, they shake their heads as leftists in Europe and the U.S. try to argue that victories by "far right" parties in Europe are a "threat to democracy," noting how the left now casually labels any result of policy they don't like as imperiling democracy.

Inez Stepman of the Independent Women's Forum and host of the "High Noon" podcast is in for Jim today. Inez and Greg discuss the chilling revelation of how easily eight terrorism suspects entered the U.S. at our southern border, President Biden's obvious gaslighting over inflation, and MSNBC's claims that Hunter Biden's convictions are a major political setback for Donald Trump.

First, they shudder at multiple reports detailing how eight men from Tajikistan easily entered the U.S. at our southern border and were later allegedly caught conspiring to commit acts of terrorism. Inez discusses how the border has devolved into "security theater" and how there has been a big, troubling shift in where these people are coming from.

Next, they sigh as President Biden tries to spin a tiny decrease in year-over-year inflation as significant news and especially how he is trying to blame grocery stores for the high prices. It's complete fiction, but Inez warns critics not to underestimate the appeal Biden's fake blue collar messaging might still have with some voters.

Finally, they get a kick out MSNBC's Chuck Todd insisting that Hunter Biden was dealt with more harshly than other Americans facing the same charges because he is the president's son. And he asserts that the guilty verdict is further proof that there is no merit to Trump's argument that Biden's DOJ is waging lawfare against him.

Today, Jim and Greg open the discussion by toasting a martini to Hunter Biden's recent convictions, but then they have to contend with President Biden's complete failure to accomplish anything down at the border, as well as Rep. Ocasio-Cortez's apparent attempt at damage control for the rampant anti-Semitism among pro-Palestinian activists.

First, they celebrate Hunter Biden's guilty verdict on all counts, which only took the jury a few hours to decide. They go through the indisputable evidence of the the case and point out how this verdict makes clear that no one is above the law, no matter how much influence the Biden family has in Delaware.

Next, they tear into the implementation of Biden's executive order, which has more holes than Swiss cheese. In particular, they dissect a memo ordering Border Patrol agents in SanDiego to release illegal immigrants from all but six countries, showing how Biden's executive order has done nothing to change the entrenched catch-and-release policies that take the teeth out of border security.

Finally, they scratch their heads as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez claims that accusing "people of color" of anti-Semitism is racist. Jim wonders whether columnist and Twitter commentator Stephen Miller is right in speculating that AOC wishes she were an activist instead of a congresswoman.

Today, Jim and Greg discuss the wonderfully successful hostage rescue operation by the Israel Defense Forces, the unpunished criminal activity of pro-Palestinian protestors in front of the White House this weekend, and the disheartening phenomenon of young progressives pushing off having children until it's too late.

First, they celebrate the IDF's triumphant rescue of several hostages from Gaza. They criticize those whose first reaction to the news is to look for the negatives, and they examine the flaws in the Biden administration's naive plan to establish peace in the Arab world.

Next, they point out the inconsistencies in how left and right-leaning protestors are treated when they break the law. This weekend, pro-Palestinian protestors vandalized sculptures in Lafayette Square and threw projectiles at National Park Service employees along with the Secret Service, but none of the perpetrators have been arrested.

Finally, they discuss the disturbing trend of young progressives putting off or avoiding having children in greater and greater numbers. They point out the necessity of taking on responsibility and bringing forth the next generation, and how facing the challenges of parenthood is ultimately much more rewarding than eternal adolescence.

Today, Jim and Greg discuss Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin divorcing Virginia from California's EV standards, what the latest job report does and doesn't tell us about the state of the economy, and the sad, steady decline of the Star Wars franchise and Hollywood products in general.

First, they react to Gov. Youngkin's announcement that Virginia will no longer follow California's EV policies, jumping ship as California changes their regulations. They criticize the law that tied Virginia's policy to California's in the first place, and they celebrate this victory for consumer choice.

Next, they analyze the May jobs report, which boasts of 272,000 new jobs, though unemployment is now at four percent. Jim warns that, whatever the trends in job creation and unemployment may be, the real economic problem to watch out for is inflation.

Finally, they lament the deterioration in quality of the more recent Star Wars movies and series. They roll their eyes at the latest series being rolled out, Acolyte, whose stars promise that it will be "the gayest" Star Wars series yet.
