The Shipwreck Show Ep. 57: Iowa Upset, Killer Ticks, Hunter Biden Theory & Peter Thiel's Exit
Description
Shipwreck returns for episode 57 with a Lone Star tick warning, an Iowa political upset, and a Hunter Biden theory that fully reels her back into the discourse she swore off last week. She opens with the unexpected primary win of Zach Lane over the heavily funded Randy Feenster, weighs in on Iowa's alarming cancer rates, and shares why she long ago lost faith in Chuck Grassley after a town hall encounter. Then it gets weirder. She unpacks the lone star tick's link to alpha gal meat allergy, CIA experiments at Plum Island, and why Google releasing bioengineered mosquitoes might be the least strange thing this week.
There is a fed up rant about ads in every app, subscriptions for headphones you already own, and the gas pump that now plays commercials. She breaks down billionaire tax loopholes, asks why IRS workers don't simply quit, and walks through Peter Thiel's Argentina move and his Honduras private city lawsuit. Then comes a long, animated Hunter Biden theory about the laptop, Ashley's diary, and what really happened to Joe's first wife. Plus zinc for warts, a crow army defending chickens, and a bicyclist roast.
