Season 7, Episode 7 - Philadelphia's electric school buses, convicted offenders on felony charges not in prison, Virginia high school, violent crime rates in DC, coal-fired plants in China, and more!

In this week's podcast, in our stupidest thing I’ve heard all week segment, we’ll tell you how the city of Philadelphia wasted $24 million in taxpayer dollars to buy 25 electric school buses that never worked, and why they can’t get their money back. We’ll tell you about three convicted sex offenders who were also illegal aliens who were arrested by ICE agents in New Jersey last week, and ask why they were not in prison. We’ll tell you about another illegal alien in NJ with two prior DWI arrests who was arrested for killing a mother & her daughter in a car crash he caused while driving drunk again, and ask the same question. We’ll tell you about a high school in Virginia that was arranging and paying for abortions for some of the teenage girls in their school without the knowledge or consent of the girls’ parents. We’ll give you an update on how the violent crime rate in Washington, D.C., and ask whether Trump was right to federalize the police operations in that city. We’ll tell you how many new coal-fired power plants the Chinese government is constructing. The number might astound you, and you might wonder why you didn’t hear about it on the news. With all of the media’s focus on the efforts by Texas to redraw the boundaries of their congressional districts, in a bit of data you didn’t hear on the news, we’ll tell you about a well-known six state region in this country where Trump got 40% of the vote yet there are no Republican congressmen in any of those six states. In our science minute, we’ll tell you about a promising clean way to store surplus wind & solar power. Our taxpayer relief shot segment this week comes to us from Florida, where a woman shoots & kills a man armed with a knife who kicked in her front door.
