How Putin & Xi Xinping Plan to Stay in Power for Decades Longer

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they dive into how the left muzzled common sense in the transgender debate not long ago, Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping’s bizarre quest for immortality, and shocking new polling that shows just how dependent Gen Z is on their parents in the workplace.

First, Jim spotlights candid comments from bestselling author Malcolm Gladwell, who admitted he always thought allowing men to compete in women’s sports was absurd but stayed silent out of fear of professional backlash. With cultural winds now shifting, more people feel free to defend common sense, but as last week's Minneapolis shootings showed, the left and media will still do everything possible to protect the trans movement. Jim also points out a major shift in this debate on social media.

Next, they examine Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese leader Xi Jinping musing about living well past 100 years. Putin even floated the idea of immortality. Jim and Greg point out the absurdity of that and also dig into why they would want to live forever. Jim also says the bottom line is that neither of these guys is leaving power voluntarily.

Finally, they're stunned by new polling numbers of Gen Z employees. Seventy-seven percent say they brought parents to their job interviews. Nearly half say their parents speak with their bosses regularly. And almost 75 say their parents help them do their work. Both Jim and Greg are appalled, and Jim also explains how parents are actually hurting their kids by being that involved with their work.
