Join Jim and Greg as they appreciate new research from Trinity University in Ireland and The Ohio State University showing that the climate alarmists are way off and that increased carbon dioxide is absorbed by trees and others plants and makes them stronger – just like we learned in basic biology class. They also wince as the Biden administration continues to tread very lightly with Iran despite more than four dozen attacks on U.S. positions in the Middle East by Iran proxy groups and the hijacking of a ship in the Red Sea by Iran-backed Houthi rebels. Finally, they get a good laugh out of a USA TODAY story bemoaning the serious injuries illegal immigrants are suffering by falling off of our new 30-foot high border walls. And of course, there’s no suggestion that the migrants are responsible for their own actions. No, it’s the wall’s fault – and the people that wanted it.
Terrorism
House Ethics Panel Slams Santos, Lefty Protesters Target DNC, TikTok’s Pro-Bin Laden Trend
Join Jim and Greg as they digest the scathing House Ethics Committee report concluding that New York Rep. George Santos likely committed multiple federal offenses in allegedly defrauding his own constituents and others for his personal gain. In addition, they’re pleased to hear Santos will not run for re-election, meaning this bizarre episode will be over – at least politically – in just about a year.
They also break down the unrest Wednesday night as pro-Palestinian protesters clashed with police outside the Democratic National Committee headquarters in Washington. And Jim wonders where the outrage or even interest in this story is from the mainstream media.
Finally, they unload on the new TikTok trend where young leftists claim they just read Osama bin Laden’s “Letter to America” following the 9/11 attacks and disturbingly conclude that the Al Qaeda leader who was responsible for nearly 3,000 deaths that day now seems to make a lot of sense.
Exposing the Hamas Hospital Lies, House GOP Still in Disarray, Gov. Hochul’s Social Media Snooping
Join Jim and Greg as they welcome the detailed reporting from CNN’s Nic Robertson, as Israeli Defense Forces explained to him on camera how Hamas was using a hospital in Gaza as an armory and military command post – a strategy that unnecessarily put many civilians in harm’s way.
They also sigh as House Republicans still cannot seem to agree on much – the latest evidence being the failure to impeach Homeland Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, who so richly deserves to get the boot. There’s also the fight over government spending as the Freedom Caucus refuses to get behind another continuing resolution backed by House Speaker Mike Johnson.
Finally, they say no way as New York Gov. Kathy Hochul announces she has created a social media analysis unit to crack down on hate online. While there is too much hate online, giving the government more power over our speech is a recipe for disaster.

NYT Poll Has Dems Trying to Shove Biden, Obama Says We’re All ‘Complicit’ in Middle East Mess, Rep. Tlaib’s ‘River to the Sea’ Gaslighting
Join Jim and Greg as they respond to a new New York Times/Siena College showing Donald Trump leading President Biden in five of six swing states, and the calls from Democrats for Biden not to run next year are growing louder. But will he? Who would replace him? And this poll most damaging to Republican presidential candidates claiming that Donald Trump is unelectable?
They also slam former President Barack Obama for suggesting “all of us are complicit” for the ongoing mess in the Middle East. Jim outlines many of Obama’s failed approach to the Middle East that coddled Iran and put far more pressure on Israel than the people who don’t want Israel to exist.
Finally, they shred Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib for trying to claim that the chant “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” is about “peaceful coexistence” and not a call for violence and genocide.
Fetterman’s Curious Encounter, FBI’s Terrorism Warning, Politico Dissects DeSantis’ Boots
Join Jim and Greg as they react to an odd encounter Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman had with one of his voters – a voter who was shoved outside by a staffer after demanding an answer about a Middle East ceasefire.
They also wince as FBI Director Christopher Wray warns of Hamas-inspired terrorist attacks against Americans – similar to the ISIS-inspired attacks from several years ago. And Jim breaks down how anti-Semites convince themselves that the demonization of Jews justifies any horrible deed in their minds.
Finally, they hammer Politico for running a ridiculous story investigating whether Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis likely places lifts into his boots to appear slightly taller. And Jim explains how this type of “journalism” has made our country and our politics dumber.

U.S. Strikes Back at Iran, FBI/DOJ Burying Evidence on Biden? Bowman’s Sweetheart Deal
Former Chief Assistant U.S. Attorney and National Review Contributing Editor Andy McCarthy is in for Jim, who will be back on Monday. Today, Andy and Greg cheer the U.S. strikes against Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps sites in Syria following multiple drone attacks against U.S. forces in the region last week. But Andy is very concerned that the Biden administration refuses to get tough with Iran, who is clearly collaborating with Hamas, Russia, and the Chinese.
Andy also breaks down the open letter from Sen. Chuck Grassley alleging that dozens of whistleblowers have told him the FBI and Justice Department are refusing to follow up on key evidence of the Biden family corruption and are actively trying to bury it all.
Finally, Andy walks us through the incredibly generous deal offered to New York Rep. Jamal Bowman for intentionally pulling a fire alarm to delay a House vote late last month. New video proves Bowman’s story to date is false. Andy explains why Bowman should have been charged with disrupting a congressional proceeding and why this sweetheart deal of a $1,000 fine and the charge not staying on his record permanently was done.

NY Voters & the Migrant Crisis, U.S. Military Attacked in Middle East, AP & VOA Won’t Call Hamas Terrorists
Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour Host Scot Bertram is in for Jim. Today, Scot and Greg muse over the latest twists and turns in the House Speaker race as Louisiana Rep. Mike Johnson seems to be in position to get elected by his fellow Republicans today. Then it’s on to the martinis! First, they welcome a strong majority of New York voters agreeing with NYC Mayor Eric Adams that the illegal migrant crisis is going to destroy the city. And they overwhelmingly disapprove of how the Biden administration is handling the issue. They also recoil at the news Iranian proxies have launched drone attacks at U.S. positions in Syria and Iraq, injuring two dozen U.S. personnel. And they’re also mad that the government kept this information from the public for a week. Finally, they scold the Associated Press and taxpayer-funded Voice of America for telling their reporters not to refer to Hamas as terrorists.

Does Jordan Have the Votes? Little Coverage of the Hostages, Biden’s Big Misfire
Join Jim and Greg as they discuss today’s planned vote for Speaker of the House as Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan seems very close to having the votes to win – but he might not quite be there yet. Will it be resolved today? They’re also puzzled by the surprisingly little coverage of the hundreds of hostages taken by Hamas – some of them American. Normally, the media would have wall-to-wall coverage of something like that. Finally, they react to President Biden’s comments over the weekend about no one needing “a weapon with 100 rounds in the chamber.” In addition to not knowing how guns work, his timing on the gun control push is especially bad.

Evil Hamas Terrorism, Biden Administration Weakness, Typical Anti-Israel Responses
Jim and Greg devote today’s podcast to three critical aspects of the horrific terrorist attacks perpetrated in Israel by Hamas over the weekend the worst mass murder of Jews since World War II. First, they chronicle the unconscionable acts of terrorism, torture, rape, and abduction by Hamas – and how the only proper description of the actions is pure evil.
Then they walk through the Biden’s administration’s refusal to confirm Iran was intimately involved in the planning of the attacks even after Hamas and others admit that’s exactly what happened. They also detail how weakness projected by the Biden administration in Afghanistan and in its constant groveling before Tehran to strike a new nuclear agreement likely emboldened Iran.
But they also note that there will likely be significant political consequences in Israel over the failure to prevent or detect the attacks.
Finally, they fume over the very predictable responses from some politicians, media figures, and activists blaming Israel for the carnage or at least creating a moral equivalence between the terrorism and the Israeli military response.

DeSantis & the Storm, Gold Star Parents & Biden, Dems Dodge Transparency
Listen to “DeSantis & the Storm, Gold Star Parents & Biden, Dems Dodge Transparency” on Spreaker.
Ricochet.com Editor-in-Chief Jon Gabriel is in for Jim, who will return on Thursday. Today, Jon and Greg applaud the competence and preparedness of Gov. DeSantis in Florida as Hurricane Idalia comes ashore. They also note the anguish of the parents of American service members who were killed two years ago in the terrorist attack at Abbey Gate in Kabul – and their frustration at President Biden’s disastrous policies and his callous treatment of them ever since. Finally, they highlight a lawsuit in Michigan after an email about the 2021 Benton Harbor water crisis was written with Greek letters to avoid showing up in a Freedom of Information request. And it was written that way because it suggested the government was caught flat-footed on the crisis.
Timestamps:
0:39 – Hurricane Idalia hits Florida and the state preparedness seems to be excellent yet again.
6:53 – Parents of service members killed in the Abbey Gate terrorist attack express their anguish and their frustration with Biden and his administration.
14:17 – Energy consultant for Michigan Gov. Whitmer accused of hiding his email from Freedom of Information requests by using Greek letters to share bad news about a water crisis.
