Pascal Najadi joins me for an update on his efforts to combat government overreach and complicity in building a control system around health passports in Switzerland.

We also spend some time discussing the potential shift in the populist Alternative for Germany (AfD) party's support among German voters and the pitfalls in front of their leader Dr. Alice Weidel.
