Specifically we went into: Personal experiences with receiving the COVID Vaccine and the current state of reopening in the US; The Rudy Guiliani investigation - what the recent search of his home and office means, and exactly what is being investigated; and Biden's speech to a joint session of congress, as well as Senator Scott's rebuttal speech.
