So it is Friday, December 10th at 9 a.m. Pacific time and I am so eager to find out what we're going to talk about today

Well, Roman, it's December 2021, but we're still talking about the pandemic and still all

things Trump are on people's minds so first the pandemic the Biden

administration of course has taken a number of steps to address the

pandemic and one especially controversial step has been Biden's mandate that

all companies with more than 100 workers require a

vaccination or a weekly testing starting in January. Now that affects a lot of

American workers, something like more than two-thirds, and of course a lot of American workers, something like more than two-thirds.

And of course a lot of private employers have already required their own employees to be vaccinated because they want them to.

But this new mandate would impose that requirement even on unwilling employers.

And of course that mandate was immediately challenged in court.

But in November, a federal appeals court put the mandate on hold while the case proceeds.

And there are more than two dozen other challenges to the mandate in other courts.

Now it's kind of confusing to have so many different cases about the same thing.

So the cases have now been consolidated or put together in one case before one federal appeals court

in Ohio.

So I would expect the loser of that case to ask the Supreme Court to hear it eventually.

Right, right.

Then there's the ongoing investigation into the capital riot.

Steve Bannon, Trump's former advisor, of course refused to comply with the House

January 6th Committee to provide documents or to testify.

That was pretty brazen because even though there are other folks who don't want to comply with these kinds of requests
