The Curious Case of Clarence Thomas, Bolsanaro’s Big Lie & COVID Forever?

In this episode, Alex talks about how gas prices in the U.S. are lower than a month ago, but still much higher than a year ago. He also mentions that the U.S. is still in much better shape than most of Europe as a fuel crisis looms. Alex then discusses the new subvariant of COVID and why he worries we are entering a forever pandemic. The vaccines are always trying to catch up to the new variant, immune responses are quickly dwindling, and political and public apathy are constant. Later, Alex discusses how Jair Bolsanaro is losing by double digits to Lula for the election in October. Now he is claiming that voter fraud could be possible. Much like Donald Trump, Bolsanaro is creating uncertainity and challenging democracy. Finally, Alex takes a deep dive into the complex and radical life of Clarence Thomas. He poses the questions on how a radical black activist in the 1970s became the most conservative judge on the Supreme Court. Justice Thomas is a flawed and problematic man, but he is fascinating.
