3 Martini Lunch – Political Humor & Commentary Zuckerberg’s Free Speech Shift, GOP's Smart Legislative Start, The Insane UK Rape Scandal
Jan 7, 2025
26:19
Join Jim and Greg for 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s newfound support for free speech, congressional Republicans picking a smart issue to begin their legislative agenda, and the disturbing UK rape gang scandal that has rocked the country for decades.
First, Jim and Greg cautiously explore Meta Chairman and CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s shift on free speech. Zuckerberg admitted that Facebook and his other platforms have been biased in censoring political content. He now promises changes, including Community Notes for controversial posts similar to X. Is this a genuine change of heart, or is Zuckerberg simply adapting to the current political climate?
Next, they applaud Republicans in the House and Senate for kicking off their legislative agenda with the Laken Riley Act, which requires the Department of Homeland Secuity to arrest (and likely deport) people in the country illegally if they commit crimes like burglary and larceny. It's also backed by Pennsylvania Democratic Sen. John Fetterman. And since our recording, it passed the House of Representatives.
Finally, Jim and Greg tackle the explosive story of the UK rape gang scandal. They express their outrage over how police, prosecutors, politicians, and the media in Great Britain failed to act swiftly in dealing with allegations of horrific abuse committed by mostly Muslim immigrants against British children. They explain why this issue is making headlines again and why this is a huge problem for the current government in the UK. Parental discretion advised for this topic.
