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

16:39 – America still plagued by chronic absenteeism in the wake of COVID.

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.

14:38 – Chris Christie gifts Ukrainian Pres. Zelensky handwritten lyrics from Jon Bon Jovi for “It’s My Life.”

by

Listen to “Confronting Weingarten’s Lies, Justice Jumps In, Thiel Sitting Out 2024” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they serve up three good martinis to close out the week! First, they cheer CNN contributor Scott Jennings for calmly but firmly confronting American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten over her absurd lies that she was pushing harder than anyone to reopen schools in the midst of the pandemic when she was loudly persistent in keeping them closed. They also welcome the news that West Virginia GOP Gov. Jim Justice is running for U.S. Senate in 2024, giving Republicans their best chance yet to knock off Sen. Joe Manchin or maybe even convince him not to run for re-election. Finally, they welcome the news that Silicon Valley billionaire Peter Thiel is planning to sit out the 2024 cycle after backing and bankrolling multiple weak candidates in the midterms.

by

Listen to “Youngkin Schools CNN, Twitter Files Facts vs. Unhinged Dems, Santos Accused Again” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they credit Virginia Gov. Glen Youngkin for taking on a skeptical CNN town hall on education, especially his answers on excellence vs. equity and teaching all aspects of history without demonizing groups of people as oppressed or oppressors based on race or sex. They also take a deep dive into Thursday’s House hearing featuring Twitter Files reporters Matt Taibbi and Michael Schellenberger, focusing on the alarming revelations of government collusion with big tech to muffle speech they didn’t like. They also unload on the committee Democrats for their obvious lack of preparation, absurd demands to know the reporters’ sources, and demonizing of reporters who are well known for leaning to the left. Finally, they react to allegations that serial liar New York Rep. George Santos was part of a card skimming scheme in Seattle.

Michigan’s Dead Heat, The Cost of COVID School Closures, New Russian Nuke Threat

by

Listen to “Michigan’s Dead Heat, The Cost of COVID School Closures, New Russian Nuke Threat” on Spreaker.

Greg is back! Join Jim and Greg as they welcome news that the Michigan governor’s race is a dead heat and one of the worst governors in the country could be in big trouble. They also cringe as national math and reading testing shows horrific numbers that are clearly a result of schools being closed – many of them much longer than necessary. And they react to reports that Russia’s defense minister was discussing the threat of a Ukrainian “dirty bomb” that most in the west see as nothing more than a manufactured pretext for Moscow to use nukes.

Biden’s Demonizing Speech, GOP Senate Infighting, Who Wanted Schools Open?

by

Listen to “Biden’s Demonizing Speech, GOP Senate Infighting, Who Wanted Schools Open?” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they unload on President Biden for his ugly, partisan speech accusing Donald Trump and “MAGA Republicans” for endangering our nation and then quickly labeling them as radicals for holding longstanding GOP political positions. They also fume about Mitch McConnell and Rick Scott publicly feuding about the party’s struggles in trying to win back control of the U.S. Senate, and Jim takes us into what what Sen. Scott’s mindset may be in all of this. And they hammer the Biden administration for trying to gaslight the American people about which party wanted schools to open quickly during the pandemic and which side found every excuse in the book to keep them closed.

Listen to “D.C. Delays COVID Mandate, Hochul’s Horrible Performance, Hotels for the Homeless?” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome Washington, D.C. postponing a COVID vaccine mandate for students 12 years and older after the Daily Signal repeatedly pointed out that the requirement would keep 40 percent of black students in that age range out of school. They also chronicle just how bad New York Gov. Kathy Hochul is – from telling political opponents they don’t belong in the state to falsely indicating that she was against closing schools over COVID. And they walk through the the effort in Los Angeles to force hotels to house the homeless in any vacant rooms they have.

Join Jim and Greg as they serve up three more good martinis! First, they like where Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis stands in his re-election bid and they enjoy watching another progressive darling cruising towards defeat. They don’t like the state of the the economy but they’re also relieved to see nearly 70 percent of Americans rejecting the Biden administration’s bogus argument that we’re not really in a recession.  And they cheer Virginia Gov.

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.
