Summary
First, they react to Gov. Youngkin's announcement that Virginia will no longer follow California's EV policies, jumping ship as California changes their regulations. They criticize the law that tied Virginia's policy to California's in the first place, and they celebrate this victory for consumer choice.
Next, they analyze the May jobs report, which boasts of 272,000 new jobs, though unemployment is now at four percent. Jim warns that, whatever the trends in job creation and unemployment may be, the real economic problem to watch out for is inflation.
Finally, they lament the deterioration in quality of the more recent Star Wars movies and series. They roll their eyes at the latest series being rolled out, Acolyte, whose stars promise that it will be "the gayest" Star Wars series yet.

| 0:34.9 | hat-tip Terry McCullough for telling parents |
| 0:36.9 | they had no say in their kids education. |
| 0:38.6 | That definitely helped provide some momentum there. |
| 0:41.7 | One of the issues that he has been fiercely trying |
| 0:44.7 | to address is the issue of how the Virginia General Assembly, when it was |
