Jason and Amanda recap the year that was 2021, and try to come up with something good that actually happened.

We do a quick recap of Biden's first calendar year (it's not good...the year, not the show), and losing faith in electoral politics. 

We chat about cancel culture, Dave Chappelle, Alec Baldwin and Mel Gibson, as well as the astroturfed outrage around critical race theory.

We talk about Haitian refugees in Del Rio, Texas, the role on the Senate parliamentarian in stifling progress, and why allergies aren't* real.

*They are. Allergies are very real.

If you're listening to this show, you know that Jason and Amanda have been friends for 20 years. On this very special episode, they put aside the politics of the day and discuss what they were doing 20 years ago today, September, 11th, 2001.

We debate the existence of the so-called Havana Syndrome that reportedly affects US Diplomats in Cuba and Vietnam, and Chine reigning in its capitalist forces.

Back like COVID-19! We discuss Texas Governor's Greg Abbott's Covid response (personal and policy-wise), and the inevitable fall of Afghanistan.

We talk about the resurgence of Covid 19, Biden's continuation of the Trump agenda and the Olympics...I think.

We discuss the media freakout about the recent uptick in crime, and the assassination of Haitian president Jovenel Moïse.

We discuss the Biden Administration's new strategy for countering domestic terrorism, which names anti-capitalists among the groups of concern, the conservatorship of Britney Spears, and why the filibuster negatively impacts the Dem agenda, but never the GOP.
