Another Massive Fraud Scandal Exposed in California

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they react to escalating tensions between two key Republicans during today’s Homeland Security confirmation hearing, new revelations of alleged financial and political fraud in California, and New York Gov. Kathy Hochul urging wealthy residents to return and pay higher taxes again.

First, they break down Wednesday's heated clash between Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul and Oklahoma Sen. Markwayne Mullin during Wednesday’s confirmation hearing for Mullin’s nomination to replace Kristi Noem as Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. Sen. Paul chairs the committee holding the hearings. Why do they dislike each other so much and what does it mean for the confirmation process?

Next, they highlight newly released undercover videos from Nick Shirley and James O'Keefe that appear to expose widespread fraud across Southern California. What exactly do the videos show, and how is Gavin Newsom and his team responding to the growing scrutiny?

Finally, they get a good laugh out of Kathy Hochul openly lamenting the exodus of wealthy residents from New York and urging them to return so the state can collect more tax revenue. But how she said it is also very telling.
