Money Talk
I'm talking about money on this Memorial Day weekend, including how California is using cash incentives for COVID vaccinations as well as President Biden's first budget proposal. I also talk about the origin of Memorial Day, how Chick-fil-A observes Memorial Day, an unlikely Presidential candidate, an eye-opening unborn child bill from Pennsylvania, and some talk about the media.

Losing My Religion
I was a day late with this episode, but it's only temporary.  I get into the latest Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but more importantly, why the ceasefire really means almost nothing. I also talk about the disappointment police reformists have in body-worn cameras, Trump's database claim, Biden's vaccine "warning", the PA governor getting his emergency powers watered down, and the continued implosion of the GOP, this time over the January 6 Commission.

The GOP is the TOP
The GOP had a big decision to make this week.  One that will define what the party is about. So I break down what that means for the future of the GOP. I also talk about MTG's run ins with AOC, a truly disgusting Bay Area teacher, the new mask guidance and liberal reaction to it, and how the state and local American Rescue Plan dollars can be used.

122: Statistically Significant
This week, I get into the fact that no one really knows how statistics work (so maybe a college education is actually worth something after all!).  This includes COVID mask mandates and police shootings.  I also discuss the IG report about Mike Pompeo, Biden's alleged plan for red meat, a data "leak" regarding Kyle Rittenhouse's legal defense fund, clarifying my statement about police shootings from last week, and the reactions to Derek Chauvin's conviction.

121: Remaking the Court
After President Biden put together a Commission on the Supreme Court, four Congressmen put forth a proposal to expand the Supreme Court to thirteen. I review the history of the Supreme Court (and the federal judiciary) to put context on both the Commission and proposal. I also talk about the anti-vaxxer "gotcha" moment, more whining from Donald Trump, racism in our highways, and the shooting death of Duante Wright.
