JD Vance Defends DOJ Fraud Investigation in Sharp Rebuke to Critics

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour host Scot Bertram fills in for Jim on Thursday’s 3 Martini Lunch. Join Scot and Greg as they break down Vice President JD Vance’s forceful defense of the Trump administration’s fraud investigations, a Midwest mayor claiming Americans should be embarrassed to own guns, and how California Gov. Gavin Newsom's press team demeaned and dismissed a serious reporter with tiresome vulgarity.First, they applaud Vice President Vance for standing firm behind the Trump administration’s investigation into widespread government fraud, especially following revelations of massive fraud in Minnesota. Scot and Greg argue that fraud needs to be exposed rather than excused.Next, they highlight the radical comments on guns and dogs from Democrat Grand Rapids, Michigan, Mayor David LaGrand. The mayor says anyone who owns a gun should be ashamed. And he's also supportive of ending K-9 police units after a recent incident. It's not just the leftward lurch of a recently conservative part of the country. It reflects broader Democratic attitudes on gun rights, policing, and traditional American institutionsFinally, they criticize Gavin Newsom communications aide Izzy Gardon for refusing to provide details about Gov. Newsom’s sudden admission of dyslexia and for responding to longtime reporter Susan Crabtree with vulgarity. Scot and Greg discuss what they see as significant disrespect for a well-established reporter and another chapter in the left's endless public profanity.Please visit our great sponsors:Take your personal data back with Incogni—use code 3ML for 60% off an annual plan at https://Incogni.com/3MLLive better, longer with BUBS Naturals.
