Summary

Ravi, Cory, and Rikki start with yet another Joe Rogan controversy, this time over his use of the N-word and racist jokes. Mike Pence and the RNC are getting even further apart on the Big Lie. What’s that say about the state of the GOP? Canada’s Freedom Convoy is still going strong in Ottawa. We discuss how the protests started, where they stand now, and the troubling precedent of GoFundMe picking and choosing which causes can get donations. Several states are pulling mask mandates; why other states might soon follow. And finally, Ravi brings us an update on Chinese investment in the Metaverse.
