Matt Barnes, who used to play in the NBA, and Sage Steele, a well-known sports journalist, recently talked about their experiences with the COVID vaccine rules. They both mentioned how the information available at the time wasn't clear or reliable.
Steele clarified, “I wasn’t anti-the-shot… I just need more time,” emphasizing her desire for more information before deciding on such an important decision.
Matt echoed this sentiment, stating, “We were the guinea pigs… whatever they put in us, we were the guinea pigs,” questioning the potential long-term effects of the COVID jabs.
Sage said, “I was never a conspiracy theorist. I just want truth. And when I see lies, immediately, then you go, well, what else have you lied to me about?”
In September 2021, Sage Steele spoke on a podcast about feeling "defeated" by having to get a mandatory COVID-19 vaccine to keep her job after her employer, Disney, issued a mandate in July 2021.
In a similar vein, Matt Barnes, a studio analyst for NBC Sports California, shared that he had a similar experience. During an appearance on VladTV, he stated, "I was forced to do it to keep my job."
How would you feel about getting vaccinated if it was a requirement for your job?

Migrants are utilizing TikTok for guidance on unauthorized entry into the United States.
It's interesting to see how these people are turning to this platform for advice on crossing into the Unites States. According to 60 Minutes, “The post we found had step-by-step instructions for hiring smugglers and detailed directions to that hole we visited. We were struck by just how orderly and routine it all seemed.”
“Last year, U.S. Customs and Border Protection reported that 37,000 Chinese citizens were apprehended crossing illegally from Mexico into the U.S. Many of the migrants said they were escaping China’s repressive political climate and sluggish economy.”
What are your thoughts on this and what do you think should be done?

New York State, supposedly one of the most progressive in our nation, has the most conservative approach to divorce and separation. Why is that the case in 2021? New York was one of the first to allow gay and lesbian marriage legally. Why aren’t lawmakers enlightened about the role two parents play in rearing children after divorce?
New shared parenting bills are often introduced to Democratic lawmakers in New York; yet, progressive legislation is often shelved or remains stuck in committees headed by Democratic lawmakers who aren't as pioneering and trailblazing as they proclaim.
The desire to maintain the status quo is strong. 
I explain why in today’s podcast.
