Thinning the GOP Hurd, Hayden’s Horrible Suggestion, Tone-Deaf White House

Subscribe to 3 Martini LunchSubscribe

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome former Texas Rep. Will Hurd's realization that he has no chance at the GOP presidential nomination and is dropping out. They also rip former NSA and CIA Director Gen. Michael Hayden for responding to a call for Sen. Tommy Tuberville to be removed from a Senate committee assignment (presumably over his hold on military nominations over abortion policy) by asking whether Tuberville ought to be removed from the human race. Finally, they scratch their heads as the White House called a press lid before noon on Tuesday, meaning President Biden would not be in public for the rest of the day, and the White House feed on X was chattering about combatting junk fees and excessive credit card fees.
