Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour Host Scot Bertram is in for Jim. Join Scot and Greg as they discuss Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg's dropping charges against most of the Columbia students arrested to taking over a campus building, the latest delusional narratives from anti-school choice leftists, and Good Morning America's bizarre campaign against paper towels.
There are no good martinis today, so Scot and Greg start by tearing into Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg for giving the Columbia students who occupied a building (and held a custodian hostage) a free pass on the grounds that the university would handle their discipline internally and that there somehow wasn't sufficient evidence to charge them. They point out the glaring double standard in how Bragg treats individuals who line up with his political preferences.
They next raise a double-fisted bad martini to the unhinged anti-school choice rhetoric that leftists are pushing, starting with Chicago Teachers Union President Stacy Gates claiming that conservatives want black children to stay illiterate. They then delve into Scientific American's push for greater federal regulation of homeschooling, specifically parents, and why it makes no sense.
Finally, they puzzle over "Good Morning America's" stunning and brave stand against paper towels as it offers various (ineffective) alternatives to viewers. Scot notes that the point of these useless alternatives is really to feel better about yourself, not to get anything done.
