Florida Squashes Squatters, Media Malpractice at CBS, Minimum Wage Reality Check, Remembering Lieberman

Subscribe to 3 Martini LunchSubscribe

Undisputed King of Stuff, columnist, and longtime Ricochet Editor-in-Chief Jon Gabriel is in for Jim today. Jon and Greg tackle good, bad, and crazy martinis and remember the late Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman.

First, they cheer Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and the state legislature for enacting anti-squatting legislation to provide protections for property owners and swift law enforcement removal of people illegally occupying others' homes.

Next, they hammer CBS News reporter Ed O'Keefe and new Guatemalan Pres. Bernardo Arevalo for blatantly misrepresenting Donald Trump's comments on migrants and absurdly suggesting people have a fundamental right to come to the U.S. O'Keefe also suggests migrants' lives might be in danger in the U.S. if Trump wins in November.

They also highlight the painfully predictable results of California raising the minimum wage for fast food workers to $20 per hour.

Finally, they offer a toast to longtime Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman, who was the Democrats' vice presidential nominee in 2000 and, just as significantly, a guest on 3 Martini Lunch in 2022.
