Summary

Join Jim and Greg as they serve up three good martinis, but you may need to squint a bit to see them. First, they welcome the admission from the green energy industry that it is thoroughly dependent upon cheap Chinese products to make solar panels and that renewed tariffs on China would hurt the industry badly. So reality smacks the green agenda in the face yet again. They also cheer the impending retirement of Maryland Democratic Sen. Ben Cardin after more than half a century of taxpayers footing his salary. A feeding frenzy among Democrats is already underway. Republicans are big underdogs but an open seat improves their odds. Jim wonders of Larry Hogan will reconsider after saying he had no interest in the race earlier this year. Finally, they welcome next week's end to vaccine mandates for federal employees and foreign visitors, and Jim suspects that by letting mandates die quietly, the Biden administration is silently admitting they were a terrible idea.

0:24.5	of them a little more positive than others as always, but happy to have three good things
0:28.8	to talk about here.
0:29.8	Jim, let's start with the green energy front hats off to Colin Anderson over at the
0:35.6	Free Beacon for tracking this story.
0:38.2	He says the green energy industry is scrambling as Congress pushes forward with legislation that
0:43.2	would impose costly tariffs on Chinese solar panels, move the industry leaders say would
0:48.5	cripple their business given their overwhelming reliance on cheap Chinese suppliers.
0:55.4	The House on Friday passed a bipartisan bill to restore tariffs on Chinese solar panels
0:59.8	sold out of Southeast Asia, tariffs that President Biden suspended last year in an attempt
1:04.8	to quote, satisfy the demand for reliable and clean energy, unquote.
1:09.4	The legislation has already garnered support among some Senate Democrats, reflecting a significant
1:15.4	possibility that the bill could soon become law for the green energy industry.
1:20.6	That possibility marks a full blown disaster.
1:23.8	Senate controls more than 80% of the world's solar panel production, a figure that has
1:27.5	not waned as Biden spends hundreds of billions of dollars on green energy subsidies intended
1:33.7	to give the United States the ability to compete with China.
