This week on the show, host Daniel Vaughan talks through two stories in the WSJ about free speech being under fire internationally, and how to compare that with what’s happening at home here in America. The second segment is devoted to the latest COVID-19 numbers and also the news that Johnson & Johnson has released a new vaccine that promises to really put a dent in the impact of the virus and potentially end the pandemic. The light item this week is brought to you by sea shanties.
