Summary

Today we're talking to our friend and fellow BlazeTV host Steve Deace. Steve always has an update for us on the latest news about the COVID pandemic. We start off by going over some of the numbers that illustrate the consequences of bad COVID policy, like rampant mental health issues and major cognitive problems among young children who have spent the last two years trying to attend school through a computer screen. In addition to discussing COVID, the Omicron variant, and what the future of the pandemic might look like, we also talk about Steve's new book, "Do What You Believe," which outlines the importance of living in Christ while we still can. Lastly, Steve tells us about the dirty tactics the Left is using to hinder production of "A Nefarious Plot," a film adaptation of another of Steve's books. --- Timecodes: (0:00) Introduction + COVID numbers, new restrictions worldwide (19:18) Interview with Steve Deace (19:23) Steve has a new book!
