Minnesota Backs Down as Tom Homan Gets Results

Episode length: 31m

Subscribe to 3 Martini LunchSubscribe

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down Tom Homan’s tremendous early success overseeing immigration enforcement in Minnesota, the challenges Republicans face heading into the midterm elections, and Melinda Gates’ telling response to new Jeffrey Epstein allegations involving her ex-husband, Bill Gates.

First, they applaud Homan for restoring order in Minnesota while still delivering results. He says the federal government is downsizing its operation there by 700 personnel, noting that improved cooperation with local authorities has reduced the need for additional agents. Homan also forcefully calls out activists blocking roads in an effort to disrupt immigration enforcement.

Next, they assess a string of disappointing election results for Republicans and what those outcomes signal for the GOP ahead of the midterms. Jim outlines the key issues Republicans must emphasize, particularly the cost of living, while Greg offers blunt advice to congressional Republicans to energize the base and expand their appeal to other voters.

Finally, they react to Melinda Gates responding to the latest Epstein allegations involving Bill Gates, making clear she’s unconvinced by her ex-husband’s denials. While the Wall Street Journal and others argue that releasing all the Epstein documents was a mistake, Jim explains why he believes Congress and the Justice Department made the right call.
