Government-Run Grocery Failure, The Facts on the Gaza Famine, A Proven D.C. Crime Solution
About this Episode
Jim Geraghty is back! Join Jim and Greg on today’s 3 Martini Lunch as they break down the collapse of a government-funded grocery store in Kansas City, the global rush to wrongly blame Israel for Gaza’s food crisis, and a proven solution to Washington, D.C.’s violent crime problem.
First, they chronicle the closing of a Kansas City grocery store that received $18 million in local government funding overits seven-year existence. Empty shelves, poor maintenance, and a dangerous neighborhood were constant problems. And New York City voters would wise to learn now that government-run grocery stories do not work.
Next, they dig into the widespread condemnation of Israel over Gaza’s hunger crisis. Leftists like Sen. Bernie Sanders say this is 100 percent Israel's fault and Hamas deserves no blame. Jim and Greg explain how Hamas is very much to blame and Jim also points out how the media have no interest in far worse famines in other parts of the world.
Finally, they react to the Washington, D.C. police chief’s surprising unfamiliarity with the concept of a chain of command. As for Trump's recent actions, Jim hopes they improve the quality of life in the nation's capital, but he does not see them as a permanent solution. He says there is a proven method to drastically reducing violent crime, but we need city officials who actually want to do it.
