We're skipping the thoughts and prayers and heading straight into the policy: America has a gun problem and our politicians are doing nothing to stop it. In Episode 10, Jordan pays tribute to the victims and heroes of the recent mass shootings in Atlanta and Boulder. We focus in on the origins of the recent Anti-Asian sentiment, why Republicans are controlled by the NRA, and how our Founding Fathers would actually advocate for gun control today. Plus, we highlight the quick COVID-19 vaccine rollout, why we cannot let our guard down against the virus, and also the best way you can get arrested (hint: handing out water in Georgia).

The United States surpassed a milestone that once seemed unimaginable: half-a-million of our fellow Americans have died due to COVID-19. In Episode 9, Jordan analyzes the reasons why we ended up here & discusses President Biden's empathetic response to a bruised nation. Also on the show, we hear about the Democrats being the majority party - and why they must start to act like it, an update on the minimum wage, ending the filibuster, and why Donald Trump will be on the ballot in 2024. We end by honoring Black History Month with the story of Ona Judge Staines.

Donald Trump gave one parting gift to the American people: a terrorist attack on our Capitol. Trump's alt-right base insurrected on January 6, 2020, and the world is mourning the decline of our United States. In Episode 8, Jordan shares his thoughts on the Capitol terrorist attack, the GOP seditionists who enabled them, and what we can do about it. Also, we'll review the 2020 election results, expose the election fraud lies, and review the tragic year behind us. Plus, we celebrate Joe & Kamala's historic victory and what to expect of 2021.
