‘Center Store’ Inflation, China Hacks Us Again, Chicago’s Recipe for Disaster

by

Listen to “‘Center Store’ Inflation, China Hacks Us Again, Chicago’s Recipe for Disaster” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they detail why many people are getting more stressed about prices for essential items even though the overall inflation numbers are cooling. They highlight a piece from National Review’s Noah Rothman explaining how “center store” inflation is still a big problem. They also wince at the news China successfully hacked the Commerce Department, including the emails of Sec. Gina Raimondo, and also parts of the State Department. Finally, they groan as Chicago’s new far-left mayor wants to address crime by killing a gang database because of racial disparities and choosing to prioritize the infusion of social workers over actually enforcing laws.

Buttigieg’s Bad Day, Consumer Spending Concerns, Marianne Williamson Is Back

by

Listen to “Buttigieg’s Bad Day, Consumer Spending Concerns, Marianne Williamson Is Back” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they appreciate the National Transportation Safety Board explanation of what really led to the train derailment in Ohio – an ignored warning on an overheated axle and not some left-wing fiction about reckless deregulation. Plus, they discuss what this means for Buttigieg’s political future and how President Biden may have stumbled into a stroke of political genius. They also wince at the latest consumer expenditure numbers suggesting inflation may be stubbornly high for quite a bit longer. And they get a kick out of the news that Marianne Williamson plans to enter the Democratic presidential field, but also wonder whether more prominent figures on the left will follow her lead.

The Sams Face the Music, Inflation Still Hurts, Bernie 2024?

by

Listen to “The Sams Face the Music, Inflation Still Hurts, Bernie 2024?” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome the news that FTX Founder Sam Bankman-Fried is facing a truckload of fraud charges and luggage thief Sam Brinton is out at the Department of Energy. They also groan as inflation is still at an annoying 7.1 percent year-over-year. And while the growth of inflation is slowing, the administration and its media allies keep trying to make us believe the problem is over. And they shake their heads as the man who ran the 2020 Bernie Sanders campaign says the senator would probably take a hard look at a 2024 race for the White House if President Biden does not run again.

Grilling the Governor, Inflation Worse Than Expected, Politico’s Putin Stunt

by

Listen to “Grilling the Governor, Inflation Worse Than Expected, Politico’s Putin Stunt” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they applaud the direct and devastating attack from GOP New Mexico gubernatorial candidate Mark Ronchetti, as he blasted Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham for grabbing the crotch of a male staffer, claiming she did nothing wrong, but also paying the staffer $150,000 to settle the complaint while forbidding the staffer from discussing the matter publicly. Ronchetti was also very effective at calling out the governor for imposing lockdowns she violated on numerous occasions. They also cringe over the latest consumer inflation numbers that come in worse than expected and prove higher prices aren’t going anywhere for awhile. Finally, they slam Politico Europe for naming Vladimir Putin as their top “green” figure because ending dependence upon Russian energy will force a revolution in renewables – ignoring the reality of people freezing to death and facing astronomical energy costs.

Inflation Sticking Around, The Media’s Fetterman Facade, Questionable Quinnipiac Polls

by

Listen to “Inflation Sticking Around, The Media’s Fetterman Facade, Questionable Quinnipiac Polls” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they wince over the larger-than-expected jump in the Producer Price Index in September and brace for the consumer inflation numbers tomorrow. They also discuss Jim’s in-depth reporting on Pennsylvania Senate candidate John Fetterman and the media that have coddled him for many years. And they shake their heads as the Quinnipiac Poll, which was spectacularly wrong at times in 2020, shows not only Sen. Warnock growing his lead over Herschel Walker but Brian Kemp and Stacey Abrams in an alleged dead heat in the governor’s race.

Rail Strike Averted, Reality Check on Energy, Border Crisis Hypocrisy

by

Listen to “Rail Strike Averted, Reality Check on Energy, Border Crisis Hypocrisy” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they breathe a sigh of relief that a rail workers strike is averted, although they’re curious to see the terms of the agreement. They also sigh as Biden again claims costs are going down as he hails the announcement. They’re also pleasantly surprised to see New York Times columnist Tom Friedman scolding the left to get serious about fossil fuel production as a way both to help Europeans in the face of Putin cutting off natural gas and for the U.S. to produce energy at levels that renewables cannot possibly match. Then they roll their eyes as the left freaks out over red state governors sending a few migrants to blue parts of the country but as no interest in dealing with the thousands of people crossing our southern border illegally every day. Finally, they remember former Independent Counsel Ken Starr and how the Democrats and the media turned him into a villain for investigating the unconscionable conduct of President Clinton.

Kelly’s Biden Stumble, Big DeSantis Donation, Inflation Still Raging

by

Listen to “Kelly’s Biden Stumble, Big DeSantis Donation, Inflation Still Raging” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they get a kick out of Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly tripping all over his words when asked whether he thinks President Biden is doing a good job. They also applaud Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for giving some of his huge campaign funds to help elect other Republicans in his state, and they hammer Charlie Crist his for comparing DeSantis to Satan and himself to Christ. Finally, they cringe at the latest horrible inflation numbers that are getting worse in many ways, even as the Biden administration tries to convince us things are getting better.

‘Red Wave of Cash,’ Fed Predicts More ‘Pain,’ FBI’s Election Meddling

by

Listen to “‘Red Wave of Cash,’ Fed Predicts More ‘Pain,’ FBI’s Election Meddling” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome the news that badly outspent GOP candidates are getting an infusion of $160 million from Mitch McConnell’s Super PAC for the final push to November. They also shudder as Fed Chairman Jerome Powell says he will be acting aggressively to rein in inflation but that many people will feel “pain” in the meantime. And they hammer the FBI after Facebook Founder Mark Zuckerberg tells Joe Rogan how the Bureau told Facebook to be on the lookout to confront expected Russian disinformation. That led Facebook to limit the reach of posts related to the Hunter Biden laptop story.

Vance Leads Ryan, Fed Expects Stubborn Inflation, Gen. Hayden’s Crazy Claim

by

Listen to “Vance Leads Ryan, Fed Expects Stubborn Inflation, Gen. Hayden’s Crazy Claim” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they are glad to see a new poll showing the Ohio Senate race narrowly favoring the GOP. They also grimace as the Fed expects inflation to stay stubbornly high for awhile – even with persistent interest rate hikes. And they fire back at former NSA and CIA Director Gen. Michael Hayden for absurdly agreeing that Republicans in the U.S. are the most “nihilistic, dangerous, and contemptible group” recently seen anywhere in the world.

Cheney’s Odd Strategy, Dems Drop the Inflation Pretense, D.C. Schools’ Dumb Mandate

by

Listen to “Cheney’s Odd Strategy, Dems Drop the Inflation Pretense, D.C. Schools’ Dumb Mandate” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they assess Rep. Liz Cheney getting trounced in the Wyoming congressional primary, her odd Lincoln reference in her speech last night, and whether she is really planning to run for president in 2024. They also shake their heads as the political left and their media allies drop the bogus talking point that their massive spending bill reduces inflation and admit it’s just advancing their big government goals on climate policy and more. And they hammer Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser for continuing to demand that all students be vaccinated for COVID before being allowed in schools when up to 40 percent of black students remain unvaccinated.
