Join Jim and Greg for 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss badly needed regulatory relief coming soon from the EPA, Russia rejecting a ceasefire with Ukraine while demanding more concessions, and Pete Buttigieg’s decision to skip a U.S. Senate run to focus on a 2028 presidential bid.
First, after clarifying a point from Wednesday’s podcast, they cheer EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin for targeting several of the most burdensome environmental regulations. Zeldin maintains that these rollbacks will cut costs and ease restrictions on businesses and families without compromising environmental standards.
Next, they analyze Russia’s refusal to agree to a ceasefire with Ukraine and insisting on more concessions before any serious negotiations. Jim argues that Vladimir Putin wouldn’t honor any deal he signs, while Greg asks how President Trump could pressure Russia into reconsidering its position.
Finally, they react to reports that former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg won’t run for U.S. Senate in Michigan and is instead eyeing a 2028 White House bid. They highlight his lack of achievements and Jim explains why he thinks the Democrats need a very different type of candidate in the next campaign.
