Summary
First, they welcome a day of congressional hearings that expose the full scope of the massive Minnesota welfare fraud scandal and the extraordinary lengths state officials allegedly went to hide it. Jim and Greg highlight testimony detailing how whistleblowers inside state government were pressured and intimidated in an effort to prevent the truth from emerging.
Next, they reject President Trump's call for congressional Republicans to have flexibility on the Hyde Amendment as part of extending the Covid-era Obamacare subsidies. The Hyde Amendment forbids taxpayer dollars to be used to pay for abortions. Jim says flexibility is not even a practical option on this issue and Greg wants to know why Trump is asking the GOP to surrender any ground on this issue when its already making a huge concession.
Finally, they fume as the author of the report on the Pacific Palisades fire refuses to endorse it after politicians and fire officials made "substantial modifications" and "significant deletions of information" to make the LAFD look better in its response to the fires.

| 0:21.3 | martini and the second martini involve Democrats trying to cover up incompetence or in some |
| 0:27.3 | cases corruption. And in the middle, we've got a major food fight inside the Republican Party over |
| 0:32.8 | what President Trump wants done on this extension of Obamacare subsidies and specifically what he wants |
| 0:38.7 | done on abortion policy. So we will get to all of that in just a moment. Greg, I hate to you. |

| 1:07.9 | pay for gas and other materials that your teams might need, |
