James Talarico's Shift on Trans Issues Sparks Debate

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico's reversal on transgender surgeries for minors, growing U.S.-Israel tensions amid negotiations with Iran, the baffling logic of some of Graham Platner's defenders, and tonight's South Carolina governor's race.

First, Jim and Greg examine the hypocrisy of James Talarico, who now suddenly opposes gender reassignment surgery for minors. In 2023, he argued against a bill that would ban “medical and surgical procedures” for minors with gender dysphoria. They also address recent reports that Talarico dated two of his staffers.

Next, they review rising tensions between the President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Trump confirmed frustration over Israel’s strikes against Hezbollah in Lebanon. Trump's concern is that Israel’s retaliation could derail negotiations between the U.S. and Iran.

Then, Jim and Greg break down the puzzling logic of a Graham Platner supporter who claims she would no longer vote for him if he had a tattoo of the Israeli flag. But apparently she is OK with Platner's Nazi-linked tattoo.

Finally, they offer their take on the governor's race in South Carolina and criticize Republican candidate Nancy Mace's policy priorities.
