Today we're hitting two topics: the CDC's new, lower expectations for child speech development, which totally have nothing to do with how harmful masks are for young kids, and the police crackdown on the Freedom Convoy protesters in Ottawa, Canada. The police and media are trying to keep the truth from surfacing, but it's clear that the police are being way too heavy-handed in their approach. Then, we talk to Canadian Pastor Steve Richardson, who attended the protests as a bystander but was beaten by police anyway just for being there.
