The story of the Uvalde police’s response to the school shooter last week keeps “evolving,” and always in ways that reveal the inexplicable incompetence, confusion and cowardice officers up and down the chain of command demonstrated that day. So it should probably come as little surprise to find that the Uvalde police are currently suing to keep all records — including body cam footage, 911 calls and text messages — hidden from public scrutiny. Jimmy and American comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the Uvalde police story and why it’s reflective of many of the wider problems with policing in the United States.

A recent story in Britain’s The Guardian sought to reveal the conspiracy underway to spread Russians propaganda and talking points about the War in Syria, specifically using as a conduit individual journalists, including The Grayzone’s Aaron Maté (https://mate.substack.com). One problem: the Guardian hit piece didn’t include any actual evidence and, contrary to standard journalistic practice, the author neglected to ask any of the alleged conspirators for a comment on the allegations before going to print. Jimmy speaks with Aaron Maté, as well as American comedian Kurt Metzger, about this piece of journalistic malpractice and the decline of the once-great Guardian.

First it was Angelina Jolie and Sean Penn, and now Ben Stiller has turned up as the latest A-List celebrity to make an appearance in Ukraine to express support for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Stiller was ostensibly traveling to war-torn Ukraine in his role as goodwill ambassador for the U.N. agency for refugees, and took the opportunity to tell Zelensky that, quote, “You’re my hero.” Jimmy and American comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the frequent celebrity visits to Ukraine and the attendant hero worship – in this case literally – of Zelensky among Western elites.

When Johns Hopkins Economics Professor Steve Hanke released a metastudy indicating that COVID lockdowns had only saved a small number of lives compared to the astronomical figure that had been reported by an Imperial College study, the backlash was quick and fevered. The Imperial College researchers, along with “fact checkers” like Snopes sought to refute the claims Hanke and his co-authors made. Jimmy interviews Professor Hanke, who explains what his antagonists got wrong, how the vast majority of their criticisms were misplaced, at best, and what minor corrections to their results had been made in subsequent releases.

In the latest head-to-head matchup between Rand Paul and Dr. Anthony Fauci, the Republican Senator managed to get the NIAID head to admit, after much hemming and hawing, that there are currently no studies extant that demonstrate the benefits of COVID booster shots for children. Yet, as Paul points out, even without compelling evidence, Fauci and company are nevertheless recommending booster shots for young children. Jimmy and American comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the ongoing Rand Paul-Anthony Fauci battles and how liberals will adamantly defend Fauci despite his repeated crushing from Senator Paul’s withering questioning.
