Trump Crackdown on 'Ghost Student' Fraud Saves Taxpayers $200 Million
3 Martini Lunch – Political Humor & CommentaryShow Notes
Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they weigh on on several prominent Democrats injecting themselves into the "Cornell 7" case, Maine Senate hopeful Troy Jackson being frustrated that Jewish voters don't believe Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, the Trump administration going atter "ghost student" fraud and saving taxpayers a lot of money, and the final installment of the vicious Bears-Jets attack ads ahead of Sunday's game.
First, they're concerned several prominent Democrats are trying to inject themselves into the discussion of the morally bankrupt and possibly criminal "Cornell 7" case. AOC incorrectly ranted about it, Abdul El-Sayed chimed in too. And New York Gov. Kathy Hochul is putting Attorney General Tish James in charge of the investigation. Is this case about to be deeply politicized?
Next, they shake their heads as Troy Jackson does damage control after being annoyed that Jewish voters reject his description of Gaza as genocide because that word make them think of the Holocaust. Jackson apologized, but what does this episode tell us about the left's mindset on this issue?
Then, they applaud the Trump administration for cracking down on students who don't exist but are receiving federal assistance by pretending to be legitimate applicants. At least $200 million in taxpayer dollars has been saved this year alone.
Finally, today is the final installment of the outside interest groups' attack ads against the Bears and Jets. What will their closing arguments be?
