Rand Paul-Led Senate Panel Votes to Hold Fauci in Contempt

Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch as they explore how Democrats nominating far-left candidates might help Republicans in November, deepening concerns about how low the U.S. missile arsenal is, one House Republican abandoning his re-election bid amid scandal while another digs in, and a Senate committee holding Dr. Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress.

First, they react to Democrats nominating far-left and even socialist candidates in states and congressional districts that are far more moderate or even lean to the right. They also get a kick out of some Dems trying to distance themselves from the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) after winning their primaries.

Next, they discuss a Washington Post report about the ongoing concerns about U.S. stockpiles of missile interceptors and other munitions, as well as reports concerning how President Trump and Sec. Pete Hegseth are dealing with this issue. The White House denies Post reports that heated conversations took place over this issue last weekend at Camp David.

Then, they're glad to see North Carolina GOP Rep. Chuck Edwards give up his re-election bid after the House Ethics Committee recommended he be censured for his conduct towards young female staffers. Meanwhile, Ohio Rep. Max Miller refuses to withdraw despite the abuse allegations against him, and he is now past the deadline to withdraw from the ballot.

Finally, Sen. Rand Paul and the Senate Governmental Affairs and Oversight Committee voted Thursday to hold Dr. Fauci in contempt of Congress for refusing to answer questions last week. Jim says he understands why this is happening but doubts much will ultimately come from it in the courts. Greg wonders the same but still thinks it's the right move.
