The Gracious Two - LIVE Show 035 - Kirsten Jenna Lee

Elon Musk's Wealth, Legal Disputes, and Government Controls:
The Gracious Two, Chad Gracey & John Rotolo (JRo) discussed the fluctuating wealth of Elon Musk, who now surpassed Jeff Bezos as the world's wealthiest person, with a net worth of $211.5 billion. They delved into Musk's legal disputes, his influence over Tesla's stock prices, and attempts by investors to control his social media activity. The conversation also touched on the increasing control of governments, specifically referencing the Australian Government's request to remove a video of a stabbing incident and the potential implications of the US government's willingness to sign a treaty giving the World Health Organization authority over US sovereignty. Chad and John criticized these actions as fascist behavior and highlighted issues of censorship and abuse of power.

Guest introduction:
Kirsten Jenna Lee, a queer digital marketer and lecturer from South Africa, was introduced as the guest. She discussed starting an LGBTQ+ group at her university, writing a memoir titled "Growth, Sparkles and Sausage Rolls", and her interest in food and travel.

Kirsten's Initiative, Team's Award, and South Africa:
Kirsten shared about her initiative to create a safe, virtual space for students and also discussed her team's achievement of receiving a bronze award from the Lourie's for their work on the Tops alcohol store brand. They also engaged in a light-hearted discussion about the difference between a copywriter and a copyright holder, and issues of land ownership and restoration in South Africa. Lastly, they touched on the cultural fusion that makes South African cuisine unique and discussed Elon Musk's national pride-inducing achievement.

Vaccine side effects and lawsuits:
The group discussed news of AstraZeneca admitting COVID vaccines can lead to fatal side effects, and ongoing lawsuits regarding vaccine injuries and deaths in Australia. Chad, JRo and Bobby asserted this validates their prior warnings about vaccine risks.

Public health vs civil liberties:
The group criticized social media platforms for censoring discussions of vaccine risks while allowing predators, questioning whether public health justifies intrusions on civil liberties. John argued wider surveillance could stop criminals if applied ethically.

Abortion debate and personal responsibility:
Discussing new abortion restrictions, Chad argued both sides go too far - the left pushing late-term abortions, the right total bans. He emphasized personal responsibility in choices. John agreed and questioned support for unwanted children of abortion is abolished.

COVID vaccine development and political stances:
The group recalled how Democrats initially distrusted the rushed COVID vaccines under Trump. After taking power, Democrats mandated vaccines while Republicans became skeptical - evidence of partisan brainwashing.

Climate change policies and hypocrisy:
Chad warned climate change could justify lockdowns, recalling old conspiracies. John noted elite hypocrisy, demanding average people reduce consumption while living lavishly themselves.
