Season 6, Episode 9 - Russian novelist Fyodor Dostoevsky, how a California school district spent Covid funds, Shark Tank's Kevin O'Leary, private vs. public sector layoffs, California's Bullet Train

In this week's podcast, our quote of the week is from Russian novelist Fyodor Dostoevsky, who discusses the dangers of extreme forced social tolerance. In the stupidest thing I've heard all week, we'll tell you how a California school district spent $350,000 in Federal COVID relief funds. We'll play a clip of Shark Tank's Kevin O'Leary discussing the Trump Federal employee layoffs and why he thinks those cuts need to be even deeper. We'll tell you how many non-IRS employees and outside contractors the Biden administration allowed to access IRS data and tax returns. We'll tell you how the Biden administration funneled $2 billion in Federal funds to a new non-profit organization headed by failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate & Biden supporter Stacy Abrams. We'll discuss some recent large-scale private-sector layoffs and ask why the press is not nearly as concerned about their impact on people's lives as it is about the impact on recently laid-off federal employees. We'll play a clip of Kamala Harris giving a short speech last week and ask, "Was she sober when she spoke?" We'll tell you about the long overdue death of the California Bullet train fiasco and what killed it. We'll tell you which foreign country received US foreign aid dollars and holds $2 trillion in US Treasury bonds. Our taxpayer relief shot comes to us from Kentucky, where a 14-year-old boy shoots & kills two armed home invaders.
