Condi’s School Choice Mic Drop, DOJ Hounds Trans Surgery Whistleblower, Deficits Quickly Snowballing

Subscribe to 3 Martini LunchSubscribe

UnHerd DC Correspondent and Breaking Points co-host Emily Jashinsky is in for Jim. Today, Emily and Greg discuss former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's brilliant defense of school choice, the Justice Department's persecution of Dr. Eithan Haim for blowing the whistle on sex-change surgeries happening on minors in Texas Children's Hospital, and the sky-high national deficit that continues to mount.

First, they applaud Condoleezza Rice's incisive criticism of the left's hypocrisy when it opposes school choice. Rice aptly observes that elites who oppose school choice often send their own children to expensive public schools.

Next, they examine the chilling reality that Dr. Eithan Haim exposed at Texas Children's Hospital: minors are being given sex-change surgeries, though the hospital previously claimed that this was not happening. Emily and Greg tear into the DOJ's obvious political targeting of Dr. Haim, alleging HIPAA violations though Dr. Haim took every care not to reveal the identity of patients.

Finally, they toast a double-fisted crazy martini to the $24 trillion deficit that the government will run over the next decade, thanks to out-of-control and ineffective spending. They also consider the steep interest payments on the debt that taxpayers will face in the coming years.
