Episode 42: Andrew and Jerry Celebrate Festivus!

It's time for the airing of grievances as Andrew and Jerry "celebrate" festivus. This week's episode is a wide-ranging (and sometimes tense) discussion of how the breaking stories of the past week fit into ongoing concerns for society-now just in America, but around the world as well. Gender fluid Biden Administration official Sam Brinton is accused to stealing luggage, again, and just what does this story say about the state of American culture in the 2020s? A restaurant in Richmond, Virginia denies service to a Christian group, and Andrew & Jerry dive deep into just what this means--talking about hypocrisy and where Americans draw the line between freedom of conscience and rights of accommodation. It's a rare occasion where Andrew and Jerry agree about the issue overall, but disagree about some very specific aspects of it. Then, Britney Griner is released from Russia, and this leads to a thorough discussion of the fecklessness of the Biden Administration. Just why was Griner there, and what does this mean for American arrogance overall?

Finally, we learned more about Twitter's censorship of speech and individual accounts... Andrew asks the question, given where America has come in the last 50 years, what does America look like in 2072?

Oh, and Andrew celebrates William and Mary football and offers thoughts on the 50th Anniversary of "Free to Be, You and Me".
