Summary
First, they cheer Zeldin for shutting down the EPA’s costly and little-visited museum focused on environmental justice and climate change—saving taxpayers millions. With more wasteful spending and burdensome regulations under review, Zeldin is emerging as a major force at the agency and Rob suspects Zeldin will have an even brighter political future.
Next, they recoil at a Los Angeles attorney naming his proposed health care ballot measure after accused murderer Luigi Mangione. The Luigi Mangione Access to Health Care Act as a possible state referendum requiring health insurance companies to approve any procedure doctors says is critical to survival or quality of life. But its namesake is charged with the brazen killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson last year in New York City. Rob and Greg discuss the left’s unsettling admiration for this suspect.
Finally, they analyze President Trump’s recent comments about running for a third term. While the Constitution bars such a move, the real story is how effortlessly Trump can provoke the left and the media into another frenzy.
