Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour host Scot Bertram fills in for Jim Geraghty on Friday’s 3 Martini Lunch. Join Scot and Greg as they break down major Justice Department fraud indictments in Minnesota, the Democrats’ laughable 2024 election autopsy, public infighting among top Illinois Democrats over the Chicago Bears, and a big shake-up in the Michigan governor's race..

First, they enthusiastically welcome the Justice Department announcing 15 indictments connected to $90 million fin alleged in Minnesota. And officials say they are just getting started. Scot and Greg hope this will lead to the uncovering of fraud in all states. They also react to a lengthy prison sentence handed down in a separate $250 million fraud case and explain why accountability in these cases is vitally important.

Next, they get a kick out of the Democratic National Committee’s weak "autopsy" on why Kamala Harris lost the 2024 election. While the report acknowledges a few legitimate problems, Scot and Greg highlight the far more damaging issues Democrats continue to ignore.

Then, they enjoy the escalating feud between Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson after the Chicago Bears announced their new stadium would be outside the city limits and possibly outside the state. The truth is both of them deserve blame and since Democrats control Illinois, there's no way to pin this on Republicans.

Finally, they react to former Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan ending his independent campaign for Michigan governor. Scot explains why Duggan’s public reasoning doesn’t add up and what may really be driving his exit from the race.
