Radio and podcast host Craig Collins is in for Jim today. Join Craig and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they weigh in on some of the alarming ideas Virginia Democrats are reportedly entertaining to try to save their gerrymandered map, Erika Kirk's commencement address at Hillsdale College, more asylum seekers giving up and planning to leave the U.S., and California Gov. Gavin Newsom's bad math and very expensive "free" diapers program.
First, they dig into a New York Times report that top Democrats discussed lowering the mandatory age of retirement for the Virginia Supreme Court so they could remove all seven justices and appoint others who would approve the congressional map with a likely 10-1 Democratic advantage.
Next, they applaud Erika Kirk's message to Hillsdale College graduates about why it's not only important to know about the American founding but to understand it and apply those principles to today's debates. They also discuss how she greatly outclasses the voices that are constantly denigrating her.
Then they welcome a CBS News report explaining how many asylum seekers are now giving up and planning to leave the U.S. Greg explains how asylum is granted on very narrow criteria. Craig says this increase in self-deportation is also very revealing.
Finally, California is using nearly $20 million in taxpayer dollars to pay for diapers for as many as 100,000 newborns in the state. Gov. Newsom strongly disputes the price tag, but Craig explains how Newsom has it all wrong and taxpayers are getting fleeced.
