## About this episode

Vladimir Putin issued a stern warning from St. Petersburg this week, targeting Germany and NATO allies for authorizing Ukraine to use Western long-range weaponry against Russian territory. The Russian President suggested these escalations undermine global security and could trigger a direct conflict with European powers. This geopolitical tension coincides with the 80th anniversary of D-Day, where the legacy of veterans like Albert J. Schoebel is being contrasted against modern shifts in the Bretton Woods economic order.

Jeffrey Sachs recently criticized American diplomacy, citing a decades-long strategy by figures like Dick Cheney and Zbigniew Brzezinski to decentralize Russian resources. Domestically, Dr. Anthony Fauci faced a House subcommittee regarding the six-foot social distancing rule and the origins of COVID-19 in Wuhan. Meanwhile, the World Health Organization confirmed a human fatality from H5N2 bird flu in Mexico, though the victim had significant underlying conditions. Dr. Deborah Birx and other health experts are now calling for mass cattle testing and mRNA vaccinations for livestock, sparking concerns over the cost and implementation of RFID tagging for herd immunity.

In a bizarre linguistic turn, TikTok activists are now debating the usage of the term ENBY versus NB, claiming the latter is reserved for the Black community. Vice President Kamala Harris faced heckling from Code Pink protesters during a Jimmy Kimmel Live taping, an incident largely scrubbed from the final broadcast. The episode also reflects on the retirement of Pat Sajak from Wheel of Fortune, marking the end of a 41-season run that outlasted the era of the Fairness Doctrine and the rise of syndicated talk radio.
