Season 7, Episode 20 - Economist Milton Friedman, Chicago's teachers' union purchase, government workers fired for cause, Zohran Mamdani's promise to make buses free, states losing residents and more!

Our quote of the week is from Economist Milton Friedman on how government solutions to problems can be worse than the problems they were trying to fix. In our Stupidest thing I’ve heard all week segment, we’ll tell you what the Chicago teachers’ union spent $173,000 on and where the thing they bought is located. We'll tell you what percentage of government workers are fired for cause each year and how that figure is astoundingly low compared to private industry. On the issue of SNAP benefits, we’ll tell you which states have the highest percentage of their residents receiving those benefits. Now that Zohran Mamdani has won the race to be the next Mayor of New York City, we’ll tell you what the Governor of New York State has said regarding his promise to make all buses free in New York City and ask why she didn’t make that announcement before last Tuesday’s election. We’ll tell you about a Minneapolis-based charity formed to supposedly feed hungry children that defrauded the taxpayers out of millions of dollars, and how they did it.We’ll tell you what has to happen next for the shutdown to end and why the Democrats’ claims that they were fighting to prevent the loss of Affordable health care subsidies were always nonsense. We’ll tell you which states are leading the nation in net resident loss and why. We’ll play a clip of a father testifying about the murder of his daughter at the hands of a career criminal and asking, “Why wasn‘t that man in jail”? Our taxpayer relief shot segment this week is a follow-up from one that took place in Baltimore last month, where an elderly jewelry store owner shot & killed a burglar.
