House GOP’s Border Demands, Hunter Biden: 2nd Amendment Hero? Youngkin’s Arena Deal

by

Listen to “House GOP’s Border Demands, Hunter Biden: 2nd Amendment Hero? Youngkin’s Arena Deal” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they once again serve up at least two good martinis, and possibly a third.
First, they applaud House Speaker Mike Johnson for demanding major action on border security as part of any deal to continue aid to Ukraine. And Jim fumes that Biden could have done this deal months ago all to his own political benefit but his refusal to acknowledge the reality at the border is costing him dearly.
They also get a kick out of Hunter Biden trying to avoid his gun charges by claiming the Supreme Court’s Bruen decision in 2022 means a gun buyer should no longer have to answer whether he is a current or former drug user. It’s a case that puts his own interests at direct odds with his father’s prioritites on the Second Amendment.
Finally, they examine the deal Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin seems to have made to lure the Washington Capitals and Washington Wizards to a new home across the river from D.C. They’re pleased to see most Virginia taxpayers don’t appear to be on the hook for the cost but nothing is finalized yet and there are some other concerns.

Strong DeSantis Moments, Dems Refuse to Address the Border, Major Debate Sniping

by

Listen to “Strong DeSantis Moments, Dems Refuse to Address the Border, Major Debate Sniping” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they serve up three important martinis, but they begin by reacting to Thursday morning’s House censure of New York Democrat Jamal Bowman for deliberately pulling a fire alarm to delay a floor vote a couple of months ago.

Then they cheer a couple of strong moments from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in Wednesday night’s debate, including demanding college and universities have more skin in the game when it comes to student loans and citing Calvin Coolidge as a president who inspires him.

They also hammer the Biden administration for balking at efforts by congressional Republicans to address the obviously broken border and tying it to aid for Ukraine and Israel.

Finally, they head back to the debate and address the many dust-ups, usually involving Vivek Ramaswamy against Nikki Haley and Chris Christie.

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.

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.

Jim in Ukraine: Amazing People, Horrific Atrocities, & Some Truly Odd Moments

by

Listen to “Jim in Ukraine: Amazing People, Horrific Atrocities, & Some Truly Odd Moments” on Spreaker.

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

by

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

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.

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.”

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.”

The Bidens & Burisma, Joe’s Low Ethical Marks, Skyrocketing Auto Thefts

by

Listen to “The Bidens & Burisma, Joe’s Low Ethical Marks, Skyrocketing Auto Thefts” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they walk through the transcript of Devon Archer’s testimony about Hunter Biden’s dealings with the Ukrainian energy firm Burisma and Joe Biden’s connection to those dealings. 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. Finally, they recoil at statistics showing auto thefts increasing 34 percent since last year and more than 104 percent since 2019.
Timestamps:
1:36 – Transcripts show Devon Archer explaining the real reason Burisma hired Hunter Biden and how it had everything to do with his dad.
10:39 – Gallup reports Americans giving low marks for Pres. Biden’s ethical standards.
17:13 – Auto thefts up 34 percent from last year and more than 100 percent from 2019.

Grassley Releases Bribery Allegation, Third Party Doesn’t Hurt Biden, Kirby vs. Reality

by

Listen to “Grassley Releases Bribery Allegation, Third Party Doesn’t Hurt Biden, Kirby vs. Reality” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they credit Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley for releasing the $10 million bribery allegation against Joe and Hunter Biden that the FBI and Justice Department have refused to investigate for years. They also respond to new polling showing that there could be considerable support for a third party presidential candidate in 2024 but that President Biden would still hold a comfortable lead. Finally, they roll their eyes as White House National Security Council Spokesman John Kirby says he saw absolutely nothing concerning or confusing in Biden’s meeting with the Israeli president this week.
