Summary
The Daniel Perry pardon. Last Thursday, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) pardoned Daniel Perry, a former U.S. Army sergeant who was convicted of murdering Black Lives Matter protester Garrett Foster in Austin, Texas, in 2020. Abbott’s decision came shortly after the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles recommended a full pardon for Perry. Perry’s firearm rights will be fully restored as part of the pardon, though he still faces a misdemeanor deadly conduct charge for the shooting.

In our latest YouTube video, Isaac went to the University of Pennsylvania to witness and report on the protests. 12 hours later, the police tore down the encampment. Hear from Pro-Palestinian and Pro-Israel protesters, and see the footage of the campus here.
Check the next episode of our new podcast series, The Undecideds. In episode 3, our focus shifts from Donald Trump toward President Joe Biden. Much has been made in the media about his age and memory and whether he’s cognitively capable of handling another term. But an unanticipated performance at the State of the Union reignited his base and left many questioning that narrative. And while Donald Trump faces a jury of his peers in court, the court of public opinion continues to weigh in on the effectiveness of Biden’s foreign policies, with an eye to the conflicts between Israel and Palestine, Ukraine and Russia, and our own protracted clash at our southern border. Our undecided voters share their observations on the current commander in chief and how his decisions on the world stage affect their decision in the voting booth. You can listen to Episode 3 here.

| 0:41.9 | Good morning, good afternoon and good evening and welcome to the Tangle podcast, the place where you get views from across the political spectrum, some independent thinking, and a little bit of my tape. |
| 1:00.9 | I'm your host, Isaac Saul, and on today's episode, we are going to be talking about Daniel Perry, who is pardoned by Texas Governor Greg Abbott. |
| 1:10.4 | We're going to review the case, some of the |
| 1:12.4 | information we got about the pardon, and then as always, we'll share some views from the left |

| 1:22.3 | who was one of our right-leaning writers who's going to share his perspective about the pardon, |
| 1:27.4 | which I thought was |
| 1:28.6 | really great. It was kind of refreshing to hear somebody answer some of the questions the way he |
| 1:34.8 | answered them, just saying, I'm not totally sure because we don't have enough information for me |
| 1:40.4 | to have an informed opinion, which is something I try and do often on this show and in our |
| 1:45.0 | newsletter. And it was just really fun to be on the other side of somebody taking that position. |
