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.
Russia
Sanctuary City Reality Check, Putin-Kim Connection? Ban Trump from the Ballot?
Join Jim and Greg as they credit Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for making sanctuary cities and states understand a fraction of the stress that a flood of illegal immigration creates on our nation. But are the right lessons being learned? They also keep an eye on reports that Vladimir Putin and North Korean Dictator Kim Jong-Un may soon meet, allegedly as part of Putin’s effort to use North Korean weapons against Ukraine. Finally, they cast a dubious eye as the left ramps up talk of banning Donald Trump from running for president again due to the 14th Amendment’s insurrection clause.

Jim in Ukraine: Amazing People, Horrific Atrocities, & Some Truly Odd Moments
Last week, Jim returned to the U.S. after spending nearly two weeks in Ukraine and learning the depths of what the Ukrainian people have endured and how they remain determined to win the war against Russia.
In this Labor Day special, Jim chronicles the personal warmth and steely national resolve of the Ukrainian people, who have suffered immensely but face the future with hope. He also goes into detail about the repulsive war crimes committed by Russian forces in Bucha and beyond. And he also shares some unplanned adventures – from the unexpected difficulty getting into the country to hanging out in an anti-aircraft gun position with a Ukrainian Supreme Court justice.
Do not miss Jim’s fascinating, first-hand report. But listener discretion is advised. Some descriptions of the atrocities in Ukraine are a bit graphic.

Progress in Ukraine, Border Crisis Deepens, California’s Crazy Truck Rules
Listen to “Progress in Ukraine, Border Crisis Deepens, California’s Crazy Truck Rules” on Spreaker.
Join Jim and Greg as they cautiously welcome news of Ukrainian progress against Russians at a key spot along the war front. They also groan as the number of families with children apprehended at the border surged in August – yet another sign that the Biden administration’s policies are nothing but a giant magnet for people to come to the U.S. illegally. Finally, they unload on California for thoroughly implausible new regulations banning diesel-powered big rigs travelling between ports starting next year in favor of electric trucks. From the length of charging time to weight restrictions to the toll on the electrical grid, the impact on trucking – and the prices you pay for goods, the expectations are completely unrealistic. Oh, and they have a few choice words for new members of Transportation Secretary’s Pete Buttigieg’s Advisory Committee on Transportation Equity who think all cars are bad and that they “perpetuate systemic racism.”

Geraghty Returns, Personal Debt Delinquency Soars, McConnell Freezes Again
Listen to “Geraghty Returns, Personal Debt Delinquency Soars, McConnell Freezes Again” on Spreaker.
Jim Geraghty is back! Today, Jim and Greg spend the good martini giving a short overview of Jim’s trip to Ukraine and what he learned there. Don’t miss Monday’s 3 Martini Lunch, when they devote their Labor Day episode to the good, bad, and crazy things that Jim observed in Ukraine. They also recoil as the percentages of Americans delinquent on credit card debt, auto loan debt, and and personal loan debt are at their highest levels in more than a decade. Finally, they react to another moment where Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell seems to freeze during a press conference, and Jim says McConnell’s team owes the American people a full, honest explanation of the senator’s health.

Pushing Back on China, Surprising Arizona Poll, Biden’s Gold Star Lie
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.
Timestamps:
0:46 – Italy pulls out of deal to help China advance it’s aggressive Belt and Road initiative.
6:09 – Arizona Senate poll shows Republicans do worse in a three-person race involving Sen. Sinema than in a head-to-head matchup with Democrats.
12:14 – Gold star mother recounts how Pres. Biden told he knows how she feels because his son came home in a flag-draped coffin. It’s a lie Biden has repeated many times.

Abortion & Free Speech, Lockdowns & Job Skills, Gov. Christie & Bon Jovi
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.”
Timestamps:
1:00 – Scot’s “pro-tip” about what not to do if you mow over a hornet’s nest.
2:12 – Federal judge blocks an Illinois law that would prosecute pregnancy centers for presenting “misinformation” to women considering abortion.
8:32 – Pandemic learning loss now extending to the workforce, as employers are forced to train employees on basics llike how to make change and looking customers in the eye.
14:38 – Chris Christie gifts Ukrainian Pres. Zelensky handwritten lyrics from Jon Bon Jovi for “It’s My Life.”

Press Corps Wakes Up, Pelosi Wants SCOTUS Term Limits, Garland’s Pathetic Defense
Jim Geraghty is back! After a brief discussion about the confusing Russian coup, Jim and Greg dive into three domestic issues today. First, they’re happy to see the White House press corps – even some of the usually compliant members – demanding answers about President Biden’s apparent involvement in Hunter Biden’s business deals after Biden repeatedly insisted he knew nothing about them. They also roll their eyes as former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who has been in Congress for more than 36 years, calls for term limits for Supreme Court justices. Finally, they push back hard after Attorney General Merrick Garland suggests any accusation of political favoritism coming from the Justice Department is “an attack on an institution that is essential to American democracy.” Jim shreds Garland for suggesting criticism of the DOJ is somehow out of bounds, when it’s one of our most basic rights and freedoms.
