Guests Seth Dillon and Joel Berry from The Babylon Bee discuss the return of COVID-19 restrictions, including mask mandates and vaccine requirements at universities. They question the effectiveness of shame as a behavior-changing tool and highlight concerns about leftist universities and the college system. The conversation also covers Donald Trump's absence from the presidential debate, criticism of the legal system, and concerns about Joe Biden's health. The importance of defending truth, parental rights, and strong families is emphasized, along with a discussion about their new book and promotion of the Republican debate coverage.
The media's emphasis on COVID-19 resurgence is raising suspicions of political motives behind the push for strict measures.
Rutgers University's COVID-19 vaccine mandate is facing backlash, with concerns raised about infringing on individual rights and the effectiveness of such mandates.
Deep dives
COVID-19 resurgence and renewed mask mandates
The media is intensifying coverage of COVID-19 as cases and hospitalizations rise, leading to renewed mask mandates at Morris Brown College in Atlanta and Lionsgate movie studios in California. Public health officials are advocating for the return of masking, while federal agencies are already preparing for pandemic safety protocols. The timing of this resurgence and renewed panic is questioned, as it coincides with the approaching presidential election season, raising suspicions of political motives behind the push for strict COVID-19 measures.
Rutgers University's mandate requiring students to be vaccinated against COVID-19 is facing backlash. While the vaccine doesn't stop the spread or transmission of the virus, the university is enforcing the mandate without exceptions. Concerns are raised about infringing on individual rights and the effectiveness of such mandates when vaccinated individuals can still spread the virus. Critics argue that the mandate is politically motivated and may be used as a filter to exclude free-thinking students, hindering diversity of thought and expression at universities.
Rudy Giuliani turns himself in amidst legal battles
Former New York City Mayor and lawyer Rudy Giuliani turned himself in at a jail in Fulton County, Georgia, where other defendants in a Georgia election case surrendered. Giuliani criticizes the indictment of all of Trump's lawyers, alleging a deliberate effort to obstruct their ability to counsel their clients. Speculation arises that these legal battles and tactics are aimed at interfering with future elections, potentially impacting mail-in ballots and other political strategies. Giuliani's case raises questions about the fairness and conduct of legal proceedings targeting political figures.
Clash between parental rights advocates and far-left activists
A clash occurs between parental rights advocates and far-left activists at a pro-parental rights event in Los Angeles. The supporters of parental rights protest against the sexualization of children in schools, while activists oppose them. The clash reinforces the divide between those who believe parents should have authority over their children's education and those who advocate for community or government control. Growing concerns about the infiltration of radical ideologies in schools fuel debates over the preservation of parental rights and the protection of children from potentially harmful influences.
The Babylon Bee CEO Seth Dillon and managing editor Joel Berry join the show today to discuss the recent uptick in COVID numbers that has given schools and government officials motivation to bring back masking and vaccine requirements. Rutgers and Georgetown University still require indoor masking. Rutgers told incoming students they must abide by a COVID-19 vaccine mandate, or they will not be allowed to attend the school. America's mayor, Rudy Giuliani, was arrested this afternoon in Fulton County, Georgia. Trump's former attorney surrendered himself for charges stemming from the 2020 election. Donald Trump is headed there tomorrow, and we may possibly see a mug shot from the former president. Tonight, BlazeTV will host a debate special during the first GOP presidential debate, starting at 8 p.m. You can see Sara, Glenn Beck, Steve Deace, and Matt Peterson.
