Summary

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour Host Scot Bertram is in for Jim. Today, after a quick update on baseball and another member of "The Squad" losing to a fellow Democrat, Scot and Greg groan over the media's predictable infatuation with Tim Walz, detail just how draconian Walz was in his COVID lockdown enforcement, and how California's plastic bag ban led to way more plastic bag trash.

First, they roll their eyes as the mainstream media not only carry the Democrats' narrative on Tim Walz but they all immediately start using the term "folksy" to describe him. The shameless obedience to the left's talking points is hardly a surprise but the contrast with how reporters characterized JD Vance a few weeks ago is rather stark.

Next, they dig into just how authoritarian Gov. Walz was in Minnesota during his aggressive COVID lockdowns - including how his government set up a snitch line so that people throughout the state could rat out their neighbors for such reckless behavior as walking their dog, playing basketball, and trying the keep their business open.

Finally, they get a kick out of lefties in California wanting a "do over" on a plastic bag ban after the first one led to a massive increase in the amount of plastic bags in the trash.
