The Gracious Two - LIVE Show 029 - Dolly Skailes

Introduction and technical difficulties:
The Gracious Two, Chad Gracey and John Rotolo ( JRo or Mr. GoodTimes ) began their discussion but John experienced technical issues that delayed the start.

Canada's COVID response and Trudeau's overreach:
The Gracious Two welcomed their guest Dolly Skailes as she detailed overreach in Canada including draconian rules, censorship and denial of healthcare based on vaccination status. Trudeau controls media narratives and the economy suffers under heavy taxation.

The state of free speech online:
They discussed censorship on YouTube and how it shapes narratives. While private companies can set policies, deplatforming impacts free exchange of ideas. Solutions like Rumble and blockchain voting were proposed.

Transgender issues and gender affirming care:
Views differed on affirming gender transitions for minors. Dolly opposed due to safeguarding children from harm, but others saw value in affirming identity. Medical implications like scar tissue were raised.

Catching up with an old friend and alcoholism:
Chad Gracey welcomed Chad Taylor's sobriety but would not excuse past wrongs with alcoholism. While recovery is valued, accountability for actions is important to heal relationships.

Election integrity and mail-in vs absentee ballots:
They agreed widespread unsolicited mail-in ballots compromise integrity, unlike verified absentee ballots. Voter ID was seen as common sense, not racist. Blockchain voting could restore integrity if done properly.

Israel-Palestine conflict explained:
Hamas elected as leaders vows to destroy Israel and strikes first. Israel responds strongly to attacks but Hamas leaders stay safe abroad while civilians suffer consequences. Peace requires mutual acceptance of both states.
