Progress in Ukraine, Border Crisis Deepens, California’s Crazy Truck Rules

Subscribe to 3 Martini LunchSubscribe

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. 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."
