Episode 142 | March 31, 2024: RFK Jr.'s Running Mate, Inflation and Low Sperm Counts

DMZ America with Ted Rall & Scott Stantis

Best buds Ted Rall (from the Left) and Scott Stantis (from the Right) are back after a brief break and, man, is there a lot to talk about!
First up, Independent presidential candidate Robert Kennedy, Jr. picks Nicole Shanahan as his running mate. Ted and Scott explain why this is a dreadfully unserious choice and illustrates the whack-a-doodle nature of the Kennedy campaign. Ted and Scott go on to rank the other third-party candidates. (For those who have followed this podcast, you already know Scott and Ted are proponents of opening the democratic process to more third, forth and fifth party candidates.)
Next, numbers versus real life. Inflation continues to hurt American consumers. The Biden campaign grumbles that, according to the stats, inflation is now under control. Yet a couple of cups of coffee put the lie to those numbers.
Finally, Ted and Scott discuss a recent scientific study that shows a bacteria may be responsible for lowered sperm counts. This, coupled with the trend of Americans having fewer babies leads to the obvious conclusion to open the borders. (Trust me, it makes sense when you hear it.)

The DMZ America Podcast is recorded weekly by political cartoonists Ted Rall and Scott Stantis.
