In this episode back from the Thanksgiving holiday, Alex talks about the recent global panic and concerns surrounding the Omicron variant of the coronavirus. The variant demonstrated dozens of mutations in the spike protein of the virus, and was labeled by the WHO a “virus of concern.” Alex also discusses the escalating tensions between NATO, the EU, the United States, and Russia. Russia has deployed close to 100,000 troops on the border of Ukraine and many are worrying that conflict could be approaching. Alex ends by discussing some updates on the January 6th commission.
