Summary
Jill Simonian from PragerU Kids joins Adam and Dr. Drew as they try to decode Armenian culture and talk about how Jill got started at PragerU. They dig into victimhood culture, corruption in California including Nick Shirley’s fraud investigation, the failures of the education system, government Covid messaging, and teachers unions, then react to Jim Jordan grilling Dr. Fauci and revisit the SoFi Stadium “mask between bites” guidance and Adam’s own run-in on a horse trail during peak Covid, leading to a conversation about pandemic-era narcissism.
