Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch as they dive into reports that Iran and Russia are suffering from severe energy crises, the U.S. economy growing less than expected in the second quarter, 12-day sprint to the GOP South Carolina Senate primary, and the trans community getting furious over donuts.
First, they talk about reports that Iran is having to implement rolling blackouts, partly from 120-degree summer temperatures but also because some of it's electrical grid has been damaged in the war. They're also promising long lines at gas stations. Russia is also experiencing an energy crisis. But does this meaningfully weaken either of these regimes?
Next, they're disappointed to see lower than expected economic growth in the second quarter. The economy grew by 1.5 percent. It's still positive territory but the cost of gasoline and other essentials are dragging the number lower. What will the impact of this be in November?
Then, they dissect the 12-day, 12-candidate sprint for the Republican U.S. Senate primary in South Carolina. Both Jim and Greg think voters deserve much more detail on every issue from Sen. Darline Graham if she wants a six-year term. They also weigh on on the candidacies of Reps. Ralph Norman and Russell Fry and former Gov. Mark Sanford.
Finally, they shake their heads as the Tim Horton's chain takes heat from what's now being called the 2SLGBTQ+ community because Tim Horton's plans to create Harry Potter-themed treats next month.
