The Paulee PodThe Paulee Pod | Tyler Axness and Paul Leintz Talk About Requirements For TransplantsHere's the story...
"A US hospital has rejected a patient for a heart transplant at least in part because he is not vaccinated against Covid-19.
DJ Ferguson, 31, is in dire need of a new heart, but Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston took him off their list, said his father, David.
He said the Covid vaccine goes against his son's "basic principles, he doesn't believe in it".
The hospital said it was following policy.

What The Hell Happened?Lessons to be Learned from TexasMillions of Texans were without power and water as their electrical grid failed. Instead of helping his residents, U.S. Senator Ted Cruz jumped on a plan to Cancun with his family. As you know, he got caught. Will the scandal stick?
Last week, the Senate acquitted former President Donald Trump. 57 Senators voted to convict Trump, falling short of the 67 vote threshold. He's not out of the legal troubles yet as multiple cases continue to mount.
President Biden continues his honeymoon period with a 62% approval rating. Congress is set the pass the very popular...2021-02-1938 minWhat The Hell Happened?Party Over Country For Senate RepublicansThe second impeachment trial of former President Donald J. Trump is wrapping up. It is tough to find impartial jurors in the U.S. Senate. Reports that some GOP Senators skipped out on their jury duties are infuriating. North Dakota's Senator John Hoeven was among those too busy to hear Thursday's arguments according to those reports. Kevin Cramer declared this was, "the stupidest week in the U.S. Senate" before hearing the arguments. An embarrassing duo for a once proud legacy of U.S. Senators from North Dakota.
The Biden covid relief plan is supported by over 80...2021-02-1337 minWhat The Hell Happened?The Week Populism Came to Wall StreetHedge fund managers and Wall Street were exposed this week after a subreddit group pooled investments for GameStop, AMC, and a variety of other companies. The little guys took on Wall Street and won. For a moment anyway. Many of the applications that marketed themselves as means for the "average joe" to invest barred investors from buying and selling select stocks with their own money. Apparently, the rules are different for big hedge fund managers and those of us that work on main street. The episode outraged people on all sides of the political spectrum and was the first...2021-01-2942 minWhat The Hell Happened?Democracy Survived.Every Wednesday of 2021 has had a historic event. January 6th was the insurrection on Capitol Hill. January 13th was the second impeachment of President Donald Trump. January 20th was the inauguration of President Joe Biden. It has been bumpy, but democracy survived. For now.
A new administration doesn't mean old crisis are gone. The pandemic is raging in parts of the country. Biden wants $1.9 billion in another round of relief. To pass the proposal, Democrats are talking about "reconciliation" to get around Senate Republican obstruction. To prevent further obstruction, will the Senate filibuster be eliminated? After all...2021-01-2539 minWhat The Hell Happened?Donald Trump's Place in HistoryExactly one week following the attack on our nation's Capitol, President Donald Trump was impeached for the second time. He is the first President to be impeached twice. The Senate will take up the trial next week. Can they balance the trial with the important work laid out for President-elect Biden's first 100 days?
Law enforcement continues to investigate and arrest those who stormed the House and Senate with more to likely come. Will there be accountability for other elected officials involved with the insurrection? The corporate world has stood up by pulling back its campaign donations...2021-01-1543 minWhat The Hell Happened?One of Our Darkest WeeksThe attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6th was one of the darkest days in American history. Tyler Axness and Jason Matthews talk about the attack, the years that built up to it, and what the fall out may be. Just 24 hours before the attack and certification of President-elect Joe Biden's win, two Democratic gains in the U.S. Senate were delivered by Georgia voters. What does the new Congressional makeup mean for policy in Washington? What does Joe Biden need to do in his first 100 days in office?
***Explicit language warning***2021-01-1041 minWhat The Hell Happened?A Clear-Eyed Look ForwardMany are eager to put 2020 in the rearview mirror. The pandemic rages on and new variations of coronavirus are discovered, but there may be an end in sight with the vaccine. After months of failure, Congress finally passed another relief package to help struggling businesses and families.
At the same time, President Trump has surrounded himself with sycophants urging him to overturn the election he lost by 7 million votes. Some Republican leaders are even urging him to "cross the Rubicon." The election loss has been the only focus of Trump's while Americans die and Russia attacks...2020-12-2246 minWhat The Hell Happened?Innocent People Don't Need PardonsAfter taking Thanksgiving week off, Tyler Axness and Jason Matthews break down the past 2 weeks. It wasn't just turkeys receiving pardons from President Trump. Now we're hearing there may be "preemptive pardons." The pandemic is spiking, vaccines are coming, and there is a group of bipartisan senators looking to get a relief package out. Will this be the power group for the next two years? The far left is attacking potential cabinet picks from the Biden administration. Heidi Heitkamp has been their focus. We explain why the left wing's focus is misguided and simply idiotic. 2020-12-0400 minWhat The Hell Happened?Democracy on the Brink?Though Trump's legal team isn't winning in court, they may be winning the war on truth. Press conferences full of half-truths and outright lies are being consumed by casual political observers and it is shaping their reality. It is increasingly harmful to our democracy and faith in our institutions. Tyler Axness and Jason Matthews discuss the dire situation and how American politics isn't just urban vs rural, but there are basically five political parties in our country. 2020-11-2100 minWhat The Hell Happened?The Extremes Have Taken OverFollowing the election results, there is a lot of discussion on whether or not America is a "center-left" or a "center-right" nation. With a majority of Americans being somewhere in the center, why are the extremes on both the left and right controlling our politics? Tyler Axness and Jason Matthews discuss that and describe our our democracy is, "the frog in the pot." 2020-11-1400 minWhat The Hell Happened?Decision 2020The results continue to trickle in and Joe Biden is the President-elect. Senator Kamala Harris is the first woman Vice President-elect. Aside from reclaiming the White House, the "blue wave" many projected didn't materialize. It will be a difficult pitch to claim either side has a mandate. If anything, this election showed there are two different realities in this country and there isn't much of a connect between the two. How does Biden govern in this environment? Tyler Axness and Jason Matthews discuss the results and what happens from here. 2020-11-1000 minWhat The Hell Happened?Republicans Are More Worried About Votes being Counted Than Voter Fraud.With all the last minute court challenges by Republicans and the Trump campaign across the country, it is obvious they aren't worried about voter fraud, they're worried about votes being counted. Will it impact the final days of the race? Tyler Axness and Jason Matthews break down what the hell happened this week before election day. 2020-10-3000 minWhat The Hell Happened?The Airing of Grievances CampaignThe final presidential debate is in the books. Rapid analysis indicates Trump was unable to move the needle enough for the final 12 days. That isn't to say Joe Biden didn't provide Republicans an opportunity to gain some momentum in certain states. Biden's remarks on transitioning away from oil subsidies might leave a mark in Senate races like Montana, Alaska, and Texas. Over 40 million votes have already been cast. Meanwhile, America had it's worse day in new confirmed covid19 cases since July. We also break down the wild week of Rudy Giuliani. Figure out "What the Hell Happened this Week"...2020-10-2300 minWhat The Hell Happened?Republicans Have Been Playing with Court Numbers for YearsAmy Coney Barrett's SCOTUS hearing was a focal point of this week. She spoke of originalism and how she adheres to that philosophy. Tyler Axness and Jason Matthews explain what that really means. What SCOTUS reforms could be entertained if the current political polling holds through election day. By Monday, over 20 million Americans will have already voted.
