Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they close out the week examining new polling across the Western Hemisphere showing overwhelming approval for the removal of Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro, California Gov. Gavin Newsom's obscene levels of spending with mostly failure to show for it, and Virginia Democrats taking power and immediately advancing their radical agenda.
First, they welcome polling from throughout Latin America showing broad support for Maduro being ousted from power. In some places, the margin is more than 60 percent and even Mexico, which had the lowest approval for Maduro's ouster, still approved by 12 percent. But the big question about Venezuela remains - what comes next?
Next, they shake their heads as Gov. Newsom submits a nearly $350 billion budget for his final year in office, a massive increase from when he first took office. Jim lists many different economic categories in which California ranks among the worst states despite having so many natural advantages.
Finally, Jim and Greg cringe as Virginia Democrats open their legislative session by pushing the radical agenda many feared was coming. At the top of the list is a constitutional amendment to enshrine abortion with no exceptions. They also thank outgoing Gov. Glenn Youngkin for four years of relative sanity before he leaves office tomorrow and the onslaught of awful legislation ramps up.
