On this edition of The Federalist Radio Hour, Senior Fellow at the Center for Renewing America Nathan Pinkoski joins Federalist Senior Elections Correspondent Matt Kittle to discuss how embracing mass immigration and multiculturalism creates a ripe environment for agitators to spark the kind of riots that are happening right now in France. They also break down the alliance between Marxists and Islamists, and how it is held together by shared hatred for Western civilization.

But that's not all! We're talking about Elissa Slotkin's comments about Trump administration officials, James Talarico channeling Barack Obama, Trump defending Vivek Ramaswamy, and the latest national anthem controversies involving the WNBA and LeBron James.

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss new data showing red states doing far better than blue states in job creation, Hillary Clinton wanting to pack the Supreme Court with one revealing condition, Democrats' disgusting meddling in two Senate races, and the stupidity of overseas NFL games. First, they're glad to see new numbers from the Bureau of Labor Statistics showing red states with the best job growth compared to just before the Covid lockdowns. Most of the worst-performing states are blue states. Jim and Greg explain why this is consistently the case. Next, they respond to Hillary Clinton urging the creation of four more seats on the U.S. Supreme Court. But does she want to do it now? No, she doesn't. Jim and Greg expose the left's unhealthy demonization of the court and its relentless quest for power. Then, they look at the Alaska Senate race, where lots of left-wing money is being spent to promote little-known Dan Sullivan because he is running against GOP Sen. Dan Sullivan. But that's not who the Dems actually want to win. And in Montana, Dems are livid that their own nominee won't drop out to improve the odds of the "independent" candidate they really prefer. Finally, they fume over the NFL games played in Europe in the wake of a major medical controversy and a game being played this weekend amid the unrest in Paris.

French unrest reveals a society fraying at the edges, leading its citizens toward both political extremes. France’s inability to address its economy, immigration issues, and rising antisemitism aren’t going away anytime soon—and similar issues could be seen throughout Europe soon.

Beneath the immediate crisis lies a bigger question: can Europe sustain the social and economic model it built after World War II, or is it reaching a breaking point? In this episode: Who’s really driving France’s unrest? Why antisemitism is a warning sign for Europe The European social contract is under pressure Do French Jews still have a future in France?

The war in Ukraine has dragged on for more than four years, with millions of Russian and Ukrainian casualties and no clear path to victory. Like Verdun in World War I, the conflict has become a grinding war of attrition with no decisive breakthrough in sight. Meanwhile, European leaders continue to demand American support against Russia while restricting U.S. efforts to counter Iran’s nuclear ambitions. Europe wants the security guarantees of the United States, but is it prepared to shoulder the responsibilities that come with them? After years of fighting, it is time for Ukraine’s supporters to explain how they intend to bring this war to an end.

Erick opens with rural Georgia voters staying home, then plays Harry Enten on CNN's new poll showing Trump at 32 percent approval and Democrats up 10 on the generic ballot. He explains why Vivek Ramaswamy's ad attacking Amy Acton's family history, and JD Vance's defense of it, has every Republican on the Ohio ticket playing defense.

There's no getting around the fact that Republicans are unpopular these days or that they're in for an unpleasant midterm. But should we really believe the flood will reach the Midwest or Rust Belt districts that elevated President Trump to double-digit margins? Patrick Rufini, founding partner of Echelon Insights, doesn't think so. He sits down with Henry to make his case. Plus, Henry draws an important distinction between the lead and the level of predicted vote share to explain why all 2-point edges should not be considered equal. And for today's ad of the week, he examines the viral attack and response in the especially fierce battle for Ohio between Vivek Ramaswamy and Amy Acton.

Twenty-five years ago, the New York City band The Strokes released one of the most widely hyped debut albums in rock history. Critics saw them as the saviors of rock n’ roll. But if the cultural influence of modern rock music is any indication, that promise fell short. In his new book Is This It: The Never-Ending Rise and Fall of the Strokes (and Rock ‘n’ Roll), music journalist Steven Hyden considers the fickle fate of rock through the trajectory of the Strokes’ career. He joins the podcast to discuss how the Strokes fit into rock history, why they captured such attention, and what their latest releases indicate about the future of music. He and Chris also discuss cigarettes, the return of Oasis, and Wisconsin sports culture.

Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch as they dissect Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar's answer to whether she married her brother, Michigan GOP Senate candidate Mike Rogers exposing Democrat Abdul El-Sayed as a serial liar, Belgium taking forever to fix F-16's used by Ukraine, and the feds indicting one of the most powerful Democrats in Virginia. First, they react to Rep. Omar being asked by MSNOW whether she married her brother and Omar answering "not to my knowledge." That's a major shift from her previous responses and comes as Omar is the subject of an intensifying immigration fraud investigation. Next, Mike Rogers exposes the litany of lies Abdul El-Sayed has told about his personal past, his ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, never actually being licensed as a physician, and more. Jim wonders if Rogers has too many good avenues to attack El-Sayed. Then, they scratch their heads as a Belgian firm is taking up to 40 weeks to do maintenance on the F-16's we gave Ukraine, when U.S. personnel usually do it in less than a month. Finally, Virginia State Senate President L. Louise Lucas is indicted on a series of serious federal charges. New episodes every weekday. 👉 Subscribe to the show so you never miss a moment.
