by

Listen to “China’s Lousy Economy, Reality in Afghanistan, White House Briefing Blunders” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they cautiously welcome news that China’s economy is struggling mightily as a result of the prolonged, Draconian COVID lockdowns. But what might China do to distract its people from those economic problems? They also mark two years since the fall of Kabul to the Taliban during Biden’s humiliating exit from Afghanistan – and point out all of the horrific restrictions reimposed on women and girls. Finally, they roll their eyes at the sheer incompetence of White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, who butchered the names of both Hawaii senators and referred to Sen. Mazie Hirono as a “he.”

Join Jim and Greg as they discuss the indictments against President Trump and 18 others in Fulton County, Georgia, as prosecutors allege racketeering in an attempt to overturn the 2020 election results there and in other states. They also wince over unsurprising projections that Social Security recipients will see massive drops in benefits if there aren’t major reforms in the next decade. Finally, they react to reporting from National Review’s Ryan Mills that a strong majority of Oregon voters deeply regret legalizing hard drugs. The impact on users and their communities is immense.

Dems Clueless on ‘Moderates,’ America’s Crippling Inflation, Soaring School Absences

by

Listen to “Dems Clueless on ‘Moderates,’ America’s Crippling Inflation, Soaring School Absences” on Spreaker.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour Host Scot Bertram is in for Jim, who will be back tomorrow. Today, Scot and Greg start with a martini that’s both bad and crazy. They welcome Minnesota Rep. Dean Phillips saying his party needs to move on from Joe Biden. But they do a spit take when Phillips suggests a “moderate” governor from the heartland and then the congressman and NBC’s Chuck Todd list Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Illinois Gov. JB. Pritzker, and several others who aren’t the slightest bit moderate. They also unload on the Biden administration’s talking point that the economy is great and we just don’t appreciate it. The latest evidence is that Americans paid $709 more in July 2023 than they did for the exact same goods and services than they did two years ago. Finally, they recoil at numbers showing 25 percent of American school students missed 10 percent or more of school days in the 2021-22 school year, which translates to 6.5 million more students than prior to the pandemic. They also go through Michigan’s numbers, which are far worse than the national average. Scot calls it a “national emergency.”
Timestamps:
1:30 – Special Counsel named in Hunter Biden investigation
2:35 – Dem Rep. Dean Phillips wants Biden to serve just one term and pass the torch to a “moderate” governor from the heartland. But Phillips and NBC’s Chuck Todd prove they have no idea what a moderate is.
9:28 – Americans paying more than $700 more per month than they did two years ago for the same goods and services.
16:39 – America still plagued by chronic absenteeism in the wake of COVID.

Ricochet.com Editor-in-Chief Jon Gabriel is in for Jim. Today, Jon and Greg welcome the story of climate scientist Judith Curry, who confirms that the scientific “consensus” on climate change is a “manufactured consensus.” They also get a good laugh out of the proposal from Pacific Gas & Electric to stabilize California’s energy grid. Then they blast both parties as the annual deficit is already more than $1.6 trillion with two more months to go. Finally, they document the hysteria on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” as Donny Deutsch contends that “everything will end” and freedom will end” if Donald Trump wins in 2024.

Bipartisan Push on China, FBI & Catholics, Lake Likely to Run

by

Listen to “Bipartisan Push on China, FBI & Catholics, Lake Likely to Run” on Spreaker.

Ricochet Editor-in-Chief Jon Gabriel is in for Jim. Before the martinis, Jon and Greg discuss the heartbreaking devastation in Lahaina caused by the wildfires on Maui. Then they are pleasantly surprised to see Republicans and Democrats working together to get to the bottom of the threat that Communist China poses to our nation and digging into many critical issues that other politicians seem content to ignore. They also fume as the House Judiciary Committee uncovers evidence that FBI Director Christopher Wray lied to lawmakers about the extent of FBI monitoring of Catholic churches. Wray says only one field office was engaged in such tactics but now we know there were at least three. Finally, they react to the news that Kari Lake is planning to run for U.S. Senate in Arizona. Jon, who is based in Arizona, explains why he suspects Lake will win the nomination but lose the general election and why Sen. Kyrsten Sinema may benefit the most if Lake gets in the race.

Solar Panel Surprise, The Migrant Emergency, Subway’s Name Change Game

by

Listen to “Solar Panel Surprise, The Migrant Emergency, Subway’s Name Change Game” on Spreaker.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour Host Scot Bertram is in for Jim today. Join Scot and Greg as they dig into an Italian study showing solar panels generate far more carbon dioxide than natural gas, and that the United Nations never took Chinese statistics into account – even though it produces 80 percent of solar panels. They also sigh as Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey announces a state of emergency due to the number of migrants pouring into her state. But instead of blaming the issue on the Biden administration’s porous border or refusal to deport, she chalks it up to the government being too slow to approve work authorization for the migrants. Finally, they end on a lighter note by discussing the promotion from the Subway sandwich chain that will land the winner $50,000 in Subway gift cards in exchange for changing their name to Subway.

by

Listen to “Pushing Back on China, Surprising Arizona Poll, Biden’s Gold Star Lie” on Spreaker.

Ricochet Co-Founder Rob Long is in for Jim. Today, Rob and Greg are glad to see Italy on the brink of rescinding its cooperation with China’s aggressive Belt and Road economic agenda. They also react to new polling in Arizona showing the Republicans do worse in the Senate race if Sen. Sinema runs as an independent than in a head-to-head matchup with Democrats. Finally, they react to the heartbreaking testimony of the mother who lost her son in the Kabul airport blast and says all President Biden said to her was that his son “came home in a flag-draped coffin.” It’s a lie that Biden has repeated many times.

0:46 – Italy pulls out of deal to help China advance it’s aggressive Belt and Road initiative.

Abortion & Free Speech, Lockdowns & Job Skills, Gov. Christie & Bon Jovi

by

Listen to “Abortion & Free Speech, Lockdowns & Job Skills, Gov. Christie & Bon Jovi” on Spreaker.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour Host Scot Bertram is in for Jim. Today, Scot and Greg are relieved to see a judge strike down an Illinois law calling for the prosecution of pregnancy centers if they deceive or give out “misinformation” to women contemplating abortion. And the law never explains what qualifies as “misinformation.” They also shudder at a Wall Street Journal story highlighting how pandemic learning loss contributed to an erosion of very basic skills. So employers are now teaching young employees how to make change and how to look customers in the eye. Finally, they roll their eyes as Chris Christie bestows Ukrainian President Zelensky Jon Bon Jovi’s handwritten lyrics to “It’s My Life.”

Dianne Feinstein gives up power of attorney over her own legal affairs but not her seat in the U.S. Senate.

The more we learn, the worse it looks. They also break down new Gallup numbers showing Americans give the Biden administration low marks on ethical standards. Also, don’t miss Jim explaining that Democrats never really wanted Biden to be president, but they had to settle for him.
