Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss 1619 Project author Nikole Hannah-Jones confesing her rigid ideology forced her child to spend a decade in failing public schools, Venezuela moving hundreds of billions in gold from the UK to the U.S., Massachusetts planning to send people to new moms to make an "assessment." and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker revealing he's dropped 80 pounds ahead of a planned 2028 presidential campaign.
First, they react to Hannah-Jones expressing regret for sending her daughter to lousy schools to make a social and cultural point and how angry her daughter is about that. Jim and Greg are glad she admitting all this but the column also suggests she hasn't learned some of the most important lessons from this.
Next, they weigh in on Venezuela moving approximately $900 billion from London to be kept in the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in Manhattan. Jim explains why this matters for us and, maybe, the people of Venezuela.
Then, they recoil at a new program in Massachusetts that Gov. Maura Healey describes as a state-sponsored visit to the home of every new mom so that an "assessment" can be made. Supposedly, this program is voluntary. If it is, Jim and Greg still don't like it. If it's mandatory, they see huge constitutional issues with this.
Finally, they react to Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker announcing he has lost 80 pounds through GLP-1 meds. Jim and Greg quickly deduce Pritzker is all in for 2028.
