Show by Chuck Frank
A crime to buy a vest. Since 2022, it has been a crime in New York for most ordinary citizens to buy or sell body armor. Last Wednesday, U.S. District Judge John Sinatra Jr. in Buffalo struck the ban down in a 47-page ruling, holding that body armor is an "arm" under the Second Amendment and that New York could not show a historical tradition to justify banning it, per the Buffalo News and Spectrum News. He put his order on hold 14 days so the state can appeal. A vest does not shoot anybody. Its only job is keeping a law-abiding person alive. Chuck reads the ruling.Also in today's episode:- Brazil's runoff: a last-minute two-hour voting extension, Lula wins a fourth term with about 51.8 percent, and Flávio Bolsonaro rejects the result (CBS News, NPR)- Another weekend of cost-of-living protests in Italy, with water cannon in Bologna (Euronews, Al Jazeera)- The Media Research Center counts 620 stories featured by Apple News in January; not one came from a right-leaning outlet (Fox News)- The Pentagon's FORTRESS plan wants major bases able to run 90 days with no civilian power, fuel or water (Fox News Digital, Newsweek)- A Berkeley mathematician stops grading homework for right answers because of AI, per the Daily Californian (Breitbart, Newsweek)- A film critic on Klara and the Sun, the new movie about a robot best friend (The Epoch Times, Boston Globe)- Justice Clarence Thomas marks 35 years on the Supreme Court (The Federalist, Fox stations)Timestamps:00:00 Welcome to 64701:31 Brazil Election Controversy06:05 Italy Cost of Living Riots08:31 Brazil Runoff Fallout10:42 New York Vest Ban Struck12:27 News App Bias Exposed15:13 Pentagon Fortress Microgrids17:20 Berkeley Stops Grading19:05 Movie Review AI Friend20:51 Clarence Thomas Anniversary23:36 Sign Off and PrayerThere is a famine of truth in our land.
