Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday edition of the 3 Martini Lunch as they break down French President Emmanuel Macron’s controversial comments on limiting free speech, Tucker Carlson’s claim that he was “detained” in Israel, and new polling that gives Republicans reason for optimism in this year’s gubernatorial elections.
First, they push back on Pres. Macron after he suggested tighter limits on speech he considers hateful or misinformation and anonymous speech online. Jim and Greg explain why restricting free expression is a dangerous path and what the freedom-loving response is to ugly speech. They also comment briefly on the arrest of former Prince Andrew in the UK.
Next, they examine Tucker Carlson’s claim that he and his team were “detained” at Ben Gurion Airport in Israel while traveling to interview Ambassador Mike Huckabee. Huckabee insists the screening was routine and that all travelers face similar scrutiny. Jim weighs in on Tucker's antics and the lesson Huckabee should learn here.
Finally, they're encouraged that polling currently shows Republicans are likely to keep a majority of governorships following this year's elections. They offer different thoughts on why Republicans may fare better at the state level than the national level this year.
