Episode 63: The Cost of an Uninformed Populace
Available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, and iHeartRadio.
In this episode, we discuss the cost of an unformed populace by talking about Steven Brandenburg, the Wisconsin pharmacist and conspiracy theorist who destroyed over 500 doses of the Moderna coronavirus vaccine. We discuss how Los Angeles County, CA is limiting availability of ambulances as a result of high COVID rates. We also give updates on Republican plans to contest the certification of Electoral College votes on Wednesday, January 6, mention the controversy about Rep. Emanuel Cleaver ending his prayer with "Amen and A-woman," and we talk about our recent issues with missing and delayed packages from the Post Office.
