I have a packed episode with my two cents for you today. On one hand, I rant on Nancy Pelosi and her love of spending exorbitant amounts of money. On the other hand, I rant on the predatory loan-shark practices of China and its influence on global politics. 

My other two cents that I discuss on this episode are that Romania has the second-lowest vaccination rate in the EU, that China is running out of power, Gabby Petito, Britney Spears, post office delays, and more.

The Monte dei Paschi, Italy's oldest bank formed 550 years ago, just collapsed. The bank was bailed out in 2017 but failed leadership made matters worse and the bank is officially closing its doors. An institution predating Columbus discovering America is now closed and it's a travesty. Also in Italy, robots are replacing humans in the vineyards as worker shortages worsen.

No one is safe on the Blaine DeSantis Show as we take shots at the EU this week. Angela Merkel is leaving office in Germany. Her 16-year reign comes to an end and it's time to reflect on her abysmal handling of EU policy and politics. Anglea Merkel has truly left the EU worse than she found it. I also go into environmentalists who can't get a grip on reality, how the EU is a Russian pawn, and a lot more.

The headline story today is how COVID immune therapy might actually come from none other than Llamas! Here's how it works: a llama is given the vaccine, it produces nanobodies, researchers take a drop of blood, treatment is produced using the most potent nanobodies from the blood and then administered as a nasal spray. Also on this episode: anything under 75 years of age is now "pre old" in Japan, a swarm of bees slaughtered penguins, Lithuania urges people to throw away Chinese phones, Taiwan threatens China over fruit imports, birds thrive during lockdown, and more.
