GOP Freshman’s Big Lies, Taliban Bars Women from College, Stanford’s Speech Police

Subscribe to 3 Martini LunchSubscribe

Join Jim and Greg as they serve up three crazy martinis today! First, they dig into the curious case of the GOP congressman-elect who calls himself George Santos, after the New York Times discovered that multiple parts of his personal story appear to be fabricated. And all Santos can offer in reply is the pathetic claim that it's all a political attack. They also shudder as the Taliban bans women from attending university in Afghanistan and all the U.S. can say in response is that this might damage the Taliban's standing in the international community. Finally, they react to Stanford University's "Elimination of Harmful Language Initiative," which wants to end our use of words like American, ladies, guys, and many more words and phrases constantly used without any ill intent.
