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?
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
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
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
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
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.”

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

Corporate Wokeness Backfires, US-Ukraine Confusion, Biden’s Secret Short Temper
Chad Benson from The Chad Benson Show fills in for Greg today as he joins Jim with good, bad, and crazy martinis. First they discuss the recent boycotts against companies pushing leftist messages, exposing corporations poorly perceiving public opinion on important issues. They then react to the confusion regarding US policy towards Ukraine, pointing out some confusing decisions from the current administration and discuss more cohesive alternatives. Finally, they sigh at a recent Axios article that gives a criminally flattering portrayal of President Biden’s reportedly short temper in private, and how it might be related to his increasing age.
