Summary
Welcome to a full-blown technical difficulty day, as Ashe in America, Christy Lupo, and Jackie Espada battle echoing mics and a crashing computer while somehow delivering a great show. Ashe opens with the freshly declassified Anthony Fauci journals released by Rand Paul, walking through a supercut of media figures showering Fauci with praise and making the case that the pandemic numbers were manipulated to drive fear. It is angry, pointed, and not for the squeamish. Then a wild Colorado road rage clip sparks a debate about self defense and scooters that do not belong on the street. Jackie returns with Logging Into the Mainframe, this week unlocking five phone buttons you probably are not using, from the action button to the sneaky back tap. Professor Lupo closes with the tangled history of minding your P's and Q's, four competing origin stories, a bar theory that wins the day, and a delightful detour into Nicholas names.
