Season 4, Episode 3 - Thomas Sowell, FAA hiring those with intellectual handicaps and psychiatric problems, EV manufacturers, EV rentals, updated stats from the ATF, Senator John Kennedy, and more!

In this week's podcast, our quote of the week is from Thomas Sowell on how well-intentioned visions of a better world can become nightmares by those impacted by the misguided efforts to achieve that future Utopian state.  In a new segment called "The biggest lie of the week," we'll tell you how the media incorrectly claimed that Texas National Guardsmen prevented Customs & Border Patrol agents from rescuing a mother and her children who drowned in the Rio Grande River. The story was a lie, but no retractions have been published by those who incorrectly reported the original story.  In the stupidest thing I've heard all week, we'll tell you about efforts by the FAA to hire people with severe intellectual handicaps and psychiatric problems to fill openings in that organization.  We'll tell you who the world's most prominent Electric Vehicle manufacturer is and where they are based. Hint: It isn't Tesla and not U.S.-based.  In a related story, we'll tell you which major rental car company is getting out of the EV rental business and selling off its fleet of 20,000 EVs  We'll give you some updated figures from the ATF regarding how many guns there are in this country and how many of them are AR-15-style rifles.  We'll play a short clip of Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) questioning a Federal Judge nominee about the Constitution and why her name was withdrawn from consideration after her inability to answer those questions.  We'll tell you about a new ruling from a Federal judge regarding the prohibition against bringing your gun with you into a Post Office.   We'll tell you about a new Computer virus threat you might see on your Facebook page and why you might be tempted to click on the link.  We'll tell you about a new study that explains why humans and other mammals require sleep and what our brain does while we sleep.  Our taxpayer relief shot comes to us from Huston, where a woman drops off her boyfriend at his apartment, and then, hearing her screams, he rushes back to her car after two armed thugs attempted to rob & carjack her. It did not end well for the thugs.
