Sacred Heart University in Fairfield is holding a Constitutional Hackathon on the 18th to brainstorm ways the American system might be improved. We talk with professor Steve Michels about the contest for students. Then, the phones are filled with response from listeners questioning some of our comments on the American founding.

Todd shares clips of Anthony Fauci on a weekend interview with CNN in which he reveals his rhetorical tricks for failing to convey true answers to simple questions. Then, State Representative Carol Hall explains how Enfield uses accounting tricks to raise taxes without raising taxes to the tune of millions of dollars.

More RANTS and calls start off the hour, then we're joined by Kathy Flaherty from CLRP.org on political opinions on the issue of disability policies. Instead of the reopening of state mental hospitals, Kathy favors a system of local respites, where people suffering a mental health crisis can find secure places to reset their lives without being institutionalized. 

It's first hour Friday, so we play RANTS - and take phone calls.

The conversation on red light cameras and policing was so rich it ran right thru the 5pm hour as well and we mostly pushed today's rants off till tomorrow at 3, when we'll have an hour and a half to work throught them.

We discuss the city of Hartford's pursuit of red light cameras, now allowed under state law.

We talk with Ray Padgett about his new book on Bob Dylan. Then, we discuss Hartford's pursuit of hidden cameras to do the traffic enforcement that police used to do.

RANTS, phone calls, and Covid failures with Tom Scott.

We discuss changing norms in public attire that have women going braless while wearing tops that provide little cover.
