Charlie begins today's show with the breaking news out of New York City of the mass shooting that took place on a Manhattan bound subway train at the 36th Street Station. Charlie ties the tragic news out of New York City with Joe Biden's newest push for gun control, unilaterally targeting "Ghost Guns" without any laws passed by Congress. But what is the original purpose of the 2nd Amendment? Is it for hunting deer as Joe Biden says? Charlie then connects both stories yet further, to how the unarmed citizens of Shanghai are being held captive in their apartments and homes as Chairman Xi attempts to enact a new, brutal zero-Covid policy. Charlie details China's "mandate from heaven" concept that just might explain why China is locking down its citizens ahead of Xi's attempt at a 3rd, and perhaps permanent, term as leader of the CCP, asking the provocative questions: Would they be able to enact such a policy if the citizens of Shanghai were armed like Americans?
