Summary
First, they applaud House Speaker Mike Johnson for demanding major action on border security as part of any deal to continue aid to Ukraine. And Jim fumes that Biden could have done this deal months ago, all to his own political benefit but his refusal to acknowledge the reality at the border is costing him dearly.
They also get a kick out of Hunter Biden trying to avoid his gun charges by claiming the Supreme Court's Bruen decision in 2022 means a gun buyer should no longer have to answer whether he is a current or former drug user. It's a case that puts his own interests at direct odds with his father's prioritites on the Second Amendment.
Finally, they examine the deal Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin seems to have made to lure the Washington Capitals and Washington Wizards to a new home across the river from D.C. They're pleased to see most Virginia taxpayers don't appear to be on the hook for the cost but nothing is finalized yet and there are some other concerns.

| 0:30.6 | complicated but Jim let's dive right into the the first one and of |
| 0:35.3 | course the Democrats are trying to paint the Republicans as obstructionist as |
| 0:40.0 | Putin accolades and whatever other pejorative you can throw out there for their |
| 0:46.9 | insistence on not passing clean legislation as they say it meaning nothing else attached to continue spending |
| 0:55.0 | tens of billions of dollars in assisting Ukraine. |
| 0:58.8 | Instead Republicans also want to make sure there are concrete steps made to improve the situation at the border, |

| 1:10.5 | abused by so many people. You see these people coming across the border. |
