Listen "Is It Time to Nuke the Filibuster?"
Episode Synopsis
Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they wrap up the week with some nuclear-grade political stories, including Trump’s push to restart nuclear testing, his call for Republicans to eliminate the filibuster, and a sharp debate over conservative criticism of Tucker Carlson.First, they dig into President Trump’s call to resume U.S. nuclear testing, which hasn’t occurred since 1992 and is banned under international agreements. But Jim says there is reason to believe other nations are already doing it and threatening to do it ourselves might get them to change course.Next, they react to Trump's call for an end to the Senate filibuster in order to reopen the government and move his agenda forward. Even if the GOP had the votes to do this, would it be a wise move or simply set the stage for a lot of horrible things to become law whenever Democrats control Congress and the White House again?Finally, Jim sounds off on Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts publicly demanding an end to criticism from the right for Tucker Carlson's friendly platforming of odious figures like Nick Fuentes others. Roberts says the criticism amounts to "the slander of bad actors who serve someone else's agenda."Please visit our great sponsors:Cancel unwanted subscriptions and reach your financial goals faster with Rocket Money at https://RocketMoney.com/MARTINI Build your fall sanctuary of comfort with Boll and Branch.
