Gary and Dee in the new studio. Lyn is under the weather, we wish him well.
Another week filled with more news than we can handle. Doug Lamborn spewing his usual Clap Trap Stuff. Did Trump screw up? Frank Rich says the chickens will come home to roost. Bill Barr being investigated? NYC bar association recommends Congress investigate him. Still unknown if John Bolton will testify. John Roberts says we shouldn’t take Democracy for granted. Really? He was okay with unlimited money, revoking the Voting Rights Act, and gerrymandering.
One the good news side, Finland is solving their homeless problem with the help of NGOs and the Finnish National Lottery. Kansas will be getting the medicaid expansion. How did that happen? Did another Red state surrender? Hedge funds are closing at a rapid clip. Will you be affected? High school students sue. Why?
We discuss the wild fires in Australia. It is the start of the fire season in Australia. Already more than 1 Billion animals have perished. We are seeing the possible extinction on a number of species. Experts suspect some species we never even met have lost too much of their population to survive.
We cover the Iran mess that Trump has got us into. 176 people lost their lives on an airliner this week. Even though Iran shot the plane down, would it have happened if the US hadn’t started this mess?
We discuss how California is trying to deal with homelessness. We also discuss some new laws in Colorado and across the country. Illinois has legalized marijuana for recreational purposes. The legal age for tobacco products nationwide is now 21.
