'Moderate' Buttigieg Outlines Radical Presidential Agenda
About this episode
Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they analyze the much closer-then-expected Michigan U.S. Senate primary win for socialist Abdul El-Sayed, how radical Pete Buttigieg's presidential agenda would be, Arizona's Democrat governor picking a Republican running mate, and California Gov. Gavin Newsom ranting about the end of democracy if Democrats don't win in November.
First, they react to the very close win for El-Sayed over Democratic Rep. Haley Stevens in Michigan. The polls predicted a blowout. The narrow win boosts the odds for GOP nominee Mike Rogers, who narrowly lost in 2024. But Greg warns that Republicans have to turn out in huge numbers for Rogers to win.
Next, they recoil as Pete Buttigieg tells Politico about his plans for radical change and incremental change if he's elected president in 2028. Jim and Greg detail just how insane Buttigieg's agenda is but point out the media will still call him a moderate because he doesn't yell much.
Then, they discuss Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs picking an anti-Trump Republican as her running mate. Jim explains why this is a sign of weakness for Hobbs. Jim and Greg also discuss whether Republicans will have an edge in border states like Texas and Arizona because people remember how bad illegal immigration was just a couple of years ago.
Finally, they tell Gov. Newsom to calm down after he claimed Republicans killed the Constitution and democracy will die if his party does not win in November.
