Dallas Mayor Joins GOP, Partisan Divide on Free Speech, Canada Honors a Nazi

by

Listen to “Dallas Mayor Joins GOP, Partisan Divide on Free Speech, Canada Honors a Nazi” on Spreaker.

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.

Hunter’s Irony-Clad Case, Biden’s Middle East Mess, Stealth F-35 Gone Missing

by

Listen to “Hunter’s Irony-Clad Case, Biden’s Middle East Mess, Stealth F-35 Gone Missing” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they consider the unintended consequences of Hunter Biden’s suit against the IRS, alleging the whistleblowers on his case violated his privacy. He seems to be grasping for straws but could he actually end up strengthening protections for the rest of us against the IRS? They’re also disgusted as Iran follows up last week’s embarrassing Biden administration concessions by kicking a bunch of United Nations weapons inspectors out of the country and Saudi Arabia tells the U.S. is is ending consideration of normalizing relations with Israel. Finally, they’re thankful the pilot is safe and have some fun with the U.S. military asking the public to find a missing stealth F-35.

Romney Not Running, Inflation Goes Higher, Vivek & TikTok

by

Listen to “Romney Not Running, Inflation Goes Higher, Vivek & TikTok” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome Utah Sen. Mitt Romney recognizing that if your next term will take you into your mid-80s that it’s time to retire. They also look at the good and the bad of Romney’s time in the Senate and remember key moments and factors in his 2012 presidential loss to Barack Obama. They also shudder as inflation rises more than expected in August and how the average American family is getting pummeled by the cost of everything these days. Finally, Jim calls out Vivek Ramaswamy for changing his mind and joining the Chinese spyware known as TikTok because a prominent social media influencer told him to.

Dem AG vs. Dem Governor, House Impeachment Inquiry, Wall Street & China

by

Listen to “Dem AG vs. Dem Governor, House Impeachment Inquiry, Wall Street & China” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome the news that New Mexico Attorney General Raul Torrez, a Democrat, is refusing to defend Gov. Michelle Lujan-Grisham’s unconstitutional “health emergency” that forbids carrying guns in public for 30 days. They also react to House Speaker Kevin McCarthy calling for the launch of a formal impeachment inquiry against President Biden. They explain how the effort is warranted given the growing evidence but Jim argues that the current investigations would likely be more impactful than a formal inquiry. And they dive into what this decision and timing say about McCarthy and his grip on power. Finally, they applaud the House Select Committee on the CCP for taking Wall Street entities to task for investing in Chinese firms that present a direct threat to U.S. national security and human rights. The committee is working in strong bipartisan fashion, but will anything concrete and enforceable come out of all this work?

DeSantis Dust Up, Remain in Texas? Tennessee Dems’ Delusion

by

Listen to “DeSantis Dust Up, Remain in Texas? Tennessee Dems’ Delusion” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they applaud Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for verbally smacking down a reporter claiming DeSantis policies are responsible for the recent racially motivated murders in Jacksonville. They also roll their eyes as the Biden administration considers forcing illegal immigrant families to “remain in Texas” now that Democrats running sanctuary cities and states are begging for the influx of migrants to stop in their communities. Finally, they get a good laugh as, Gloria Johnson, one of the so-called “Tennessee Three” who led a protest onto the floor of the state legislature and disrupted proceedings to demand gun control, challenges Sen. Marsha Blackburn and Democrats try to convince themselves that Johnson has a good shot of winning.

Sanctuary City Reality Check, Putin-Kim Connection? Ban Trump from the Ballot?

by

Listen to “Sanctuary City Reality Check, Putin-Kim Connection? Ban Trump from the Ballot?” on Spreaker.

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.

by

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.

Trump Booked, Toxic Paper Straws, Hiring Discrimination Suits, NY Begs for Migrant Aid

by

Listen to “Trump Booked, Toxic Paper Straws, Hiring Discrimination Suits, NY Begs for Migrant Aid” on Spreaker.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour Host Scot Bertram is in for Jim. Today, Scot and Greg discuss a new study showing toxic chemicals are used to repel water in most paper and bamboo straws. They also dive into two curious employment discrimination suits: five current and former Gannett newspaper employees charge the organization with policies that discriminate against white employees. And the Justice Department is suing Elon Musk’s SpaceX for not hiring alleged refugees and asylum seekers and only hiring U.S. citizens or legal residents.  Finally, they sigh as New York Gov. Kathy Hochul follows the nonsensical lead of Massachusetts and demands federal aid for housing, education, and health care while also urging expedited work authorization. Scot and Greg point out that will only create a bigger stampede of people trying to enter the U.S. illegally.

1:10 – Trump booked in Atlanta.

by

Listen to “The Georgia Indictments, Social Security Warning, Hard Lessons Over Hard Drugs” on Spreaker.

Jim Geraghty is back! 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.
