Hello, everybody, and welcome back to another episode here at the Damage Fort where a lot

is happening. Oh boy, the news is breaking. I'm breaking. Everything's broken. But we do have

something that is mostly whole and that is our co-host for today's show Yasmin Leacon joins us

once again. Yasmin has a going. It's going very well, very happy to be back here.

Glad to have you back. I know you've been up to a lot. I hear there is a second season of your show.

Yep, yep. Season two of the Global Thread podcast is launched as of yesterday. The first episode

we talked about the issues between Taiwan and China and coming up. We're going to talk about Belarus.

So stay tuned for that. Oh geez, yes, there's been a lot going on there. So you're sort of touching

on the Olympics, at least a little from your international lens. So that's fun. Yeah, the news is

fun. The international news is so fun anyway. But we're very glad to have you here.

We already had a big pack rundown where we were going to be talking about the upcoming reconciliation

process and the bipartisan infrastructure bill, which is now passed. We will be talking about that

before getting into so Yasmin's from Texas and every time she's on. We like to provide a little

bit of Texas news and I swear it's not intentional that it's all highly negative. But we're going

to be taking a look at the current state of the pandemic in Texas and what is being done

to stop it as well or nothing. And then let's see, Marjorie Green might be about to be done

on Twitter. There's a cyber symposium full of cyber guys. So that's fun and a lot more besides

who write mine mine come who's to say honestly. We'll have a debate about that. There's a lot going on.

But Yasmin, you ready to jump into this?

Absolutely, let's do it. We'll just get it over with.

Okay, you are. I don't know that I am. Also, please hit the like button,

turn the stream if you haven't already. And there's a lot of other stuff going on. We'll update you
