Join Jim and Greg as they cheer Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson switching to the Republican Party, saying the GOP has a much better approach on crime and fiscal discipline. And Jim wonders whether Johnson has larger political ambitions. They also recoil at a Real Clear Politics survey showing a sharp divide between the parties on free speech, with Democrats far more likely to favor government or social media companies cracking down on “hate speech” or speech that possibly threatens national security. Finally, they cringe as Canada’s House of Commons lavishes praise on a 98-year-old Canadian from Ukraine for fighting against Russia during World War II. They just didn’t bother to check which side he was fighting for.

No 9/11 Death Penalty? Anti-Gun Governor & the Constitution, Gov. Youngkin’s Pardon
Join Jim and Greg as they reflect upon 22 years since the horrific 9/11 attacks that significantly changed our nation in so many ways. They then tackle the first frustrating piece of news – that military prosecutors are seriously considering removing the death penalty as a possibility for 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and his co-conspirators held at Guantanamo Bay. Jim then launches a legendary scolding of New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham for brazenly violating the Constitution and unilaterally suspending the rights of citizens in her state to open or concealed carry guns. They also cheer Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin for pardoning the Loudoun County dad who was arrested for disrupting a school board meeting after his daughter was sexually assaulted by a male identifying as a female while in school and school leaders lied to him about it and repeatedly tried to cover it up. Finally, they end on the lighter side, as Greg reflects on a horrible performance by his Chicago Bears and Jim deals with the strange feeling of high expectations for his New York Jets.

Dems Don’t Want Biden, Hunter Indictment Twist, Biden’s Sudden Exit
Listen to “Dems Don’t Want Biden, Hunter Indictment Twist, Biden’s Sudden Exit” on Spreaker.
Join Jim and Greg as they marvel at President Biden’s dismal poll numbers, including 58 percent of Americans saying the economy is worse under his leadership and 67 percent of Democrats wanting someone other than Biden as the party’s nominee next year. But Democrats also have no idea whom they would want to replace Biden. They also react to Special Counsel David Weiss announcing that there will likely be an indictment against Hunter Biden on a gun charge by the end of the month, but they also note Andy McCarthy’s assessment that this is not about Weiss finally getting tough on Hunter. Instead, it’s about running out the clock ona wide array of potential charges. Finally, they are highly skeptical of the White House explanation that President Biden exited a Medal of Honor ceremony earlier than usual due to COVID precautions and that it was planned that way.

Michigan Senate Hopes, Mask Wars Returning? Genetically-Modified People?
Listen to “Michigan Senate Hopes, Mask Wars Returning? Genetically-Modified People?” on Spreaker.
Join Jim and Greg as they welcome former Michigan Rep. Mike Rogers to the Senate race to replace Sen. Debbie Stabenow. But they also note why this race is an uphill climb for any Republican. They also groan as the talk of COVID cases and restrictions ramps up again – including mask mandates at elementary schools. Finally, they slam and laugh at a leading bioethicist from New York University calling for genetically modifying people to be intolerant to meat as a means of supposedly combatting climate change.
Dems’ 2024 Dilemma, Ceiling Fan Wars, Biden’s Media Enablers
Listen to “Dems’ 2024 Dilemma, Ceiling Fan Wars, Biden’s Media Enablers” on Spreaker.
Ricochet Editor-in-Chief Jon Gabriel is in for Jim. Today, Jon and Greg examine new polls showing more than three-quarters of Americans and nearly 70 percent of Democrats think Joe Biden is too old to be president for another four years. So do the Dems roll the dice on Biden anyway and hope Trump is even less popular? Do they push Biden out ad gamble on Kamala Harris? Or do they find someone else entirely? They also groan as the Biden Energy Department demands changes to make ceiling fans more energy efficient. But the laughably minimal energy savings will be dwarfed by the $86.6 million per year that manufacturers will need to spend to comply with the new rules. Finally, they cringe as the Biden administration clearly plants a question with compliant reporter about COVID and both the reporter and Biden make the ruse painfully obvious. Finally, they remember Joe Wurzelbacher, better known as “Joe the Plumber,” whom the media went after with full venom because he dared to challenge Barack Obama about tax policies during the 2008 campaign.
Timestamps:
1:03 – Overwhelming majority of Americans think Biden is too old for another term.
8:58 – Biden administration’s war on ceiling fans
15:44 – Media’s pathetic enabling of Biden

Debate Aftermath, ‘People Need to Go to Jail,’ California GOP’s Surrender
Listen to “Debate Aftermath, ‘People Need to Go to Jail,’ California GOP’s Surrender” on Spreaker.
Inez Stepman of the Independent Women’s Forum and host of the “High Noon” podcast is in for Jim. Today, Inez and Greg break down the first GOP debate. Who did well? Who struggled? And did anything happen to dent Trump’s big lead? They also discuss the potentially criminal incompetence of officials in Maui that contributed to deaths of as many as 1,000 people and destroyed Lahaina. Inez lays out an infuriating series of bureaucratic insanity that wasted time and prioritized woke goals over people’s lives. Finally, they shake their heads as the California Republican Party voluntarily surrenders on a multitude of issues – and not just the cultural positions that are unpopular in the state but on several key issues where the public agrees with the longstanding GOP platform.
Timestamps:
0:45 – Analysis of the first GOP presidential debate, focusing on DeSantis, Ramaswamy, Haley, and Pence.
10:51 – Trump’s interview with Tucker Carlson

Radical ‘Green’ Goals, America’s Deep Pessimism, Record Drug Use & Drinking
Listen to “Radical ‘Green’ Goals, America’s Deep Pessimism, Record Drug Use & Drinking” on Spreaker.
Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour Host Scot Bertram is in for Jim. After a quick GOP debate preview, Scot and Greg tackle three heavy issues. First, they highlight a progressive cities climate group that admits it wants to end meat and dairy consumption and private vehicle ownership – preferably by the end of this decade. They also want drastic reductions in clothes purchases and air travel, and 14 U.S. cities have already signed on to this global initiative. They also dissect a new poll showing 56 percent of Republicans and 20 percent of Democrats think our nation is in danger of failing and discuss why that’s the case. Finally, they shudder at a new report from the University of Michigan showing huge increases in binge drinking and marijuana use among Americans aged 35-50. And the numbers among younger adults is pretty bad too.
Timestamps:
0:58 – Previewing Wednesday’s GOP presidential debate
3:11 – New global progressive cities climate group admits radical ‘green’ goals on meat and dairy consumption, private vehicle ownership and much more.

The Truth of Bidenomics, DOJ’s Pro-Biden Corruption, Trump’s Clever Strategy
Former Chief Assistant U.S. Attorney and National Review Contributing Editor Andy McCarthy is in for Jim. After Andy and Greg explain where Jim is this week, they highlight the cold hard facts of the impact “Bidenomics” is having on American families – everything is much more expensive and the president wants you to grateful for it. Andy also breaks down the latest revelations in pathetic prosecution of Hunter Biden after emails from Biden defense lawyers show Biden was going to avoid prosecution altogether until the IRS whistleblowers went public. Oh, and they want the whistleblowers prosecuted. Finally, they marvel at how Donald Trump will totally overshadow the Wednesday debate he is skipping because his booking on Thursday will smother coverage of any big moments on the debate stage.
Timestamps:
0:18 – Explaining where Jim Geraghty is
1:54 – Rep. Burgess explains just how expensive “Bidenomics” is for American families
9:07 – Emails from Hunter Biden’s legal team show federal prosecutors had no intention of filing any charges until the IRS whistleblowers came forward.
