Today we're starting with an update on the Kanye West (Ye) controversy after some of you pointed out that the symbol Ye tweeted (which led to his eventual Twitter suspension) was that of the Raelian Movement, a UFO-based religious group. The story just keeps getting weirder. We discuss how this might tie into his statements of late and why his roots in black supremacy theology are problematic. Then, we look into 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis, a case that questions whether Lorie Smith, an artist who runs her own design studio, 303 Creative, should be forced by Colorado law to create websites promoting messages that contradict her beliefs about marriage. We break down yesterday's arguments and explain why this is yet another monumental case to determine what free speech and religious liberty mean in this country. We finish with the tragic story of Athena Strand, a 7-year-old girl who was kidnapped and murdered by a FedEx driver. We reiterate why the death penalty is not only just, it's necessary in cases like this.\n\n---\n\nTimecodes:\n\n(01:07) Intro / merch discount / podcast update\n(06:25) Kanye West update\n(18:25) 303 Creative LLC v.
