In the State of the Union Speech, Covid Seemed to Vanish – if Just for a Night | America and Its Allies Pay Russia to Destroy the Ukraine | The Iran Deal Is Dumber Than Anyone Could Imagine | When I Tried to Get a Baseball Signed by Chapo Guzman

Beyond the Legal Limit with Jeffrey Lichtman

In this episode, Jeff discusses the absolute hypocrisy of Joe Biden coming to the State of the Union speech without a mask on – along with hundreds of other Democrats, when Covid seemed to have vanished, if even just for a night. Equally incoherent is the strategy of sanctioning Russia for its invasion of the Ukraine while also buying its oil, not to be confused with the even more incoherent strategy of relying on Russia to help us work out a horrible nukes deal with Iran, Russia’s ally, even as Russia threatens to nuke us. Finally, Jeff reveals a previously unheard story of when he tried to get Chapo Guzman to sign a baseball for him. Spoiler alert: it wasn’t as easy as it seems. A fruit-flavored Mentos candy acted as the trial balloon.
