Summary

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch. Today, they dissect EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin's answer to a reporter struggling with simple economics, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison arguing that a federal law against disrupting religious freedom at a place of worship does not apply to what happened on Sunday, and President Trump's very odd tactics in trying to acquire Greenland.

First, they applaud Zeldin for keeping a straight face and giving a very clear explanation when a reporter asked how making American vehicles more affordable would be good for American auto workers. It's also a good reminder that far fewer people than we realize are taught the fundamentals of how an economy works.

Next, they groan as Attorney General Ellison says the FACE Act only applies to restricting demonstrations outside abortion facilities and not disrupting worship services. But the law in question specifically outlaws what happened on Sunday. So is Ellison clueless or just not interested in prosecuting the criminal acts of his political allies?

Finally, they react to President Trump demanding control of Greenland and telling Norway’s prime minister that missing out on the Nobel Peace Prize pushed him toward a more aggressive approach in dealing with Denmark. But is this strategy accomplishing anything, or is it just antagonizing other members of NATO?

We're also going to come to the conclusion. I know it's going to shock a lot of people,
