3 Martini Lunch

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour Host Scot Bertram is in for Jim today. Join Scot and Greg as they dig into an Italian study showing solar panels generate far more carbon dioxide than natural gas, and that the United Nations never took Chinese statistics into account - even though it produces 80 percent of solar panels. They also sigh as Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey announces a state of emergency due to the number of migrants pouring into her state. But instead of blaming the issue on the Biden administration's porous border or refusal to deport, she chalks it up to the government being too slow to approve work authorization for the migrants. Finally, they end on a lighter note by discussing the promotion from the Subway sandwich chain that will land the winner $50,000 in Subway gift cards in exchange for changing their name to Subway.

Ricochet Co-Founder Rob Long is in for Jim. Today, Rob and Greg are glad to see Italy on the brink of rescinding its cooperation with China's aggressive Belt and Road economic agenda. They also react to new polling in Arizona showing the Republicans do worse in the Senate race if Sen. Sinema runs as an independent than in a head-to-head matchup with Democrats. Finally, they react to the heartbreaking testimony of the mother who lost her son in the Kabul airport blast and says all President Biden said to her was that his son "came home in a flag-draped coffin."

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."

Dan Goldman for insisting Hunter Biden called his father during business meetings only to say hello and talk about the weather - that Hunter was really only offering the illusion of access to his dad, who was vice-president at the time.

They also smell a rat as federal prosecutors decide to drop campaign finance fraud charges against FTX Founder Sam Bankman-Fried. Is it really because the Bahamas are playing hardball on extradition or do Democrats want to avoid a lot of embarrassing facts from coming out?

Join Jim and Greg as they applaud Judge Maryellen Noreika for exposing the apparent agreement between the Justice Department and Hunter Biden that would have given Biden immunity on further prosecution related to his tax issues and business dealings. They also chronicle Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell being unable to speak on Capitol Hill Wednesday and are frustrated that his office won't say anything beyond McConnell's own insistence that he's "fine."
