Governor Brian Kemp and corporations like Coca-Cola and Delta have entered a public standoff over the law, while critics point to the hypocrisy of these same entities maintaining deep business ties with China despite ongoing human rights abuses against the Uyghur population. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis issued a landmark executive order prohibiting businesses from requiring vaccine passports, a move that counters efforts by Microsoft and Google to digitize health data. Meanwhile, Dr. Leana Wen and medical ethicist Arthur Kaplan argue that such verification systems are inevitable tools for social mobility. In the legal sphere, the trial of Derek Chauvin continues to dominate headlines as defense strategies pivot toward fentanyl levels and excited delirium, while Representative Matt Gaetz faces a federal investigation involving an alleged extortion plot linked to the disappearance of FBI agent Robert Levinson. NBA star LeBron James made waves by declaring his vaccination status a private family matter, challenging the corporate push for high-profile compliance. In Calgary, Pastor Artur Pawlowski gained viral fame after forcibly ejecting police from his Easter service, labeling them Gestapo for interrupting worship. The episode also features a report on the rigorous health tracking in Bali's Green Zones and a look at the Well Health-Safety Seal as a new corporate shakedown. ## Chapters Each chapter's transcript is at its own link.
