Episode 05 – Let’s Do Some News

Let's do some old fashioned news breakdowns. In this episode I'll be covering LGBT descrimination in the Florida public school system, proposed Federal cuts to social security, medicare and medicaid, the White House credentialing a racist wackjob "news" site, the Secretary of State having a toddler-like meltdown at a journalist, the half-assed attempt by the current administration to sell logging and fossil fuel as a solution to pollution from wildfires, the President's* blatant attempt to downplay the brain injuries received by troops from the Iranian rocket attacks, the Air Force using a web game to recruit drone pilots, the Austin city Chief of Police refusing to abide by the commands/wishes of the people & city council and I wrap up with  rant about the importance of voting (especially at the local and state levels).
