Santos, who was elected to Congress in 2022, has been embroiled in controversy since taking office due to numerous fabrications about his background and qualifications. Hosts John and Amy delve into the details of the scandal, highlighting Santos's false claims about his education, work experience, and even his family. They also discuss the pressure that ultimately led to his expulsion, including calls from within his own party. Freedom Caucus and the UAP: The conversation then shifts to the Freedom Caucus, a group of conservative Republican lawmakers known for their opposition to government spending and their skepticism of UFOs. However, in a surprising turn of events, the Caucus has recently come out in support of the UAP bill of 2023. John and Amy explore the potential reasons behind this change of heart, suggesting that it may be due to a growing body of evidence about unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs) or a desire to appear open-minded on an issue that is increasingly gaining public attention. Musk vs. Blackmail: The episode also touches on the ongoing saga of Elon Musk and his Twitter takeover. Musk has made headlines with his controversial actions on the platform, including reinstating banned accounts and firing employees. He has also faced accusations of erratic behavior and potential blackmail. John and Amy analyze the situation, questioning whether Musk is truly a victim of blackmail or simply using it as an excuse for his own actions. They also discuss the broader implications of Musk's control over Twitter and the potential dangers of unchecked power in the hands of a single individual. Macy Day Parade Protest: Finally, the show wraps up with a segment on the recent protest at the Macy's Day Parade. A group of animal rights activists disrupted the parade by chaining themselves to a float, causing a brief delay and raising awareness about the plight of animals used in entertainment. John and Amy debate the effectiveness of such protest tactics, considering the potential for alienating the public while also highlighting the importance of drawing attention to important issues.
