Hey guys, welcome to Relatable. Happy Wednesday.

Today we're going to talk about a few stories. We're going to talk about Texas opening up completely after the announcement of Governor Greg Abbott.

We're also going to talk about these Andrew Cuomo allegations and we're going to talk a little bit about Rand Paul and his exchange with a person who who is called Rachel Levine.

Abbott said declining hospitalization rates across the state and increased distribution of virus vaccines were reasons to end the coronavirus restrictions.

So this is a very good thing. Now, obviously, most conservatives are very excited about this. I would say there are probably some people who are moderate and even liberal who are secretly excited about this.

But because COVID and COVID restrictions have become so unnecessarily partisan, there were some negative reactions.

So I would say a lot of negative reactions, in particular on Twitter and of course CNN, the regular suspects coming out with fear, mongering headlines saying that this is so irresponsible.

Gavin Newsom, the Democratic governor of California tweeting to Greg Abbott that this is completely reckless. This is totally irresponsible.
