Welcome to Last Call, a look at the biggest stories Jim and Greg covered over the past week on the 3 Martini Lunch.
This week, they discuss a new poll of Democrats showing way too many lefties would be happy if President Trump died or was removed in a military coup, the Trump administration rooting out many hundreds of thousands of fraudulent Obamacare enrollees, 1619 Project author Nikole Hannah-Jones confessing her rigid ideology forced her child to spend a decade in failing public schools, and the Wisconsin Democrats' gubernatorial candidate complaining about the "systemic racism and injustice" of beer gardens.
First, they're disturbed by a new poll of Democrats showing a majority would like to see President Trump die in his sleep or be removed by a military coup. A third would be happy to see Trump assassinated. Jim also notes the huge chunk of lefties who say they wouldn't care either way if those things happened.
Next, they applaud the Trump administration for finding and removing more than 750,000 fraudulent Obamacare enrollees, many of whom are not even real people. So far, it's $2.2 billion in fraud, and Vice President Vance says hundreds of thousands more may be removed soon. Greg suspects we're still just scratching the surface on fraud.
Then, 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's admitting all this, but the column also suggests she hasn't learned some of the most important lessons from this.
Finally, just a few years ago, Wisconsin Democratic gubernatorial nominee David Crowley said that because golf courses, marinas, and beer gardens are most often frequented by white people, systemic racism and injustice are to blame for that.
