Donald Trump, Oval Office Address Performance Grade

Donald Trump receives a "D minus" grade for his televised address regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. The critique focuses on his disorganized demeanor, poor scriptwriting that caused confusion over European Union trade and cargo restrictions, and the unprofessional nature of the live broadcast including hot mic moments.

donald trump· oval office· european union· travel ban· media criticism

02:03 Boy, oh my god. It was horrible completely disorganized behind the scenes his His demeanor was horrible he snorting and sniffing and breathing He can't he is a completely deadened voice. He would have gotten in effort because she's reading from the prom yes, yeah, and it's this is Fail epic epic epic fail. Yeah, the only yeah I did and the only thing that was Good as he got across the closing of flights from the EU But you know it's like this was so when will these idiots learn? So of course they had the transmission live Broadcasting before all the stations cut to it and of course people got all kinds of fun clips beforehand

02:53 Don't we know this is you're supposed to keep an eye on what's being broadcast at all times? Who's in charge over there the same guy does Biden sound well, maybe here's the here's the preamble as the president is getting ready to speak I Uh oh, I got a pen mark. Anybody have any white- do you have any white stuff? He's cursing because he has a PEN MARK! Where is it?

03:34 Mr. President, we're ready for a mic check please. Do you see it? Which side is it on here? On the right side of us. Can you put up your mic check? Yeah. Mike check. Mr. President can you count to 10 please? 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 There it is! Okay let me see how the look is then So he's worried about some pen mark. Quick get some white stuff somebody, help me out here and very unprofessional mic check we know that when you're doing a mic check you never go past two it's one two one to check too that's not 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 that's not how you do it then the president had a speech which was poorly written

04:20 poorly written and created a lot of confusion. The main confusion was about the flights from the EU, and I'll read to you what he... What was written for him? I think he read it pretty much verbatim But it's very poorly written. To keep new cases from entering our shores, we will be suspending all travel from Europe to the United States for the next 30 days The new rules were going to affect Friday at midnight These restrictions will be adjusted subject to conditions on the ground There will be exemptions for Americans who have undergone appropriate screenings, and these prohibitions will not apply only to the tremendous amount of trade in cargo but various other things as we get approval. Anything coming from Europe to United States is what we are discussing these restrictions will also not apply to the United Kingdom." I mean even to say these restrictions will also not apply it's improper! It's shit and this whole... You're reading verbatim from the script? Yes

05:22 And it's written that way? Yes. Wow! Yeah, so it made it sound like all trade and cargo would also be forbidden and so that had to be clarified and that gave everybody room to jump up and down And so for that reason, Trump fails because he gave the media more bullcrap to frighten people with. It's really really dumb and I'm extremely irked by it and then afterwards of course the mic stays on the video stays up We're clear. Okay? How did that not... You don't want your leader, the father figure to go okay! You don't want that!

06:08 Well, from the perspective of some I would I'm suggesting a Jean-Pierre provocateur involved here because this is like you said every this is all amateur hour. Yeah to have them have the thing live and then having to have an open mic afterwards is all Stuff done in the control room or done by somebody who's not a good guy. No and done on purpose These are not accidents, not at professional level it should not be egg Thank you, not at a professional level this doesn't happen anymore this happened in the days of George Bush even Bill Clinton satellite time not that this is dumb just stupid and of course they gave complete room to give us some fabulous clips and

Don Lemon, CNN Interview with California Officials

CNN host Don Lemon attempts to elicit criticism of the federal government from California Lieutenant Governor Eleni Kounalakis. Kounalakis and Governor Gavin Newsom instead emphasize productive collaboration with the Trump administration and Vice President Mike Pence regarding the repatriation of cruise ship passengers.

don lemon· cnn· gavin newsom· eleni kounalakis· california

06:54 So in that regard I am happy the president performed as he did. We got to see Don Lemon meltdown in real time, it was fabulous. He's the best! Here he is melting down first trying to convince California Lieutenant Governor to hate Trump to say that he sucks and it's no good. I want to talk about this reporting that is in the New York Times detailing the failures of the federal government, that they had repeatedly to get ahead of this virus give me your reaction to this reporting I have to really be very clear that the experience of state officials all the way up to the governor in working with the federal government has been very productive and very positive. We believe very strongly that we don't want to see this devolve into a political situation

07:45 that the most important thing is that officials from the federal government, the state government are working together. It shouldn't be political but let me get political. Are you getting the support that you need from the federal government? What I'm hearing from state officials is that the collaboration is very positive so I think, you know really that's all i can say about it. We want to continue to increase cooperation and the public is relying on us to work together as collaboratively and effectively as we can." And she's echoing the sentiment of Governor Gavin Newsom who allowed hell to freeze over briefly. Yeah we had a private conversation but he said were going to do the right thing and you have my support

08:28 all of our support logistically and otherwise. So before he made those statements publicly, I had a private conversation with him around 430 West Coast time and he said everything that I could have hoped for and we had a very long conversation and every single thing he said they followed through on so i'm just not interested in and finding daylight on those statements because every single thing, his administration... And it starts at the top. including the vice president, has been consistent with the expectation that we repatriate these passengers and we do it in a way that does justice to the spirit that defines the best of our country and the state of California. I fell over backwards from this! Of course you know California was the first state to declare an emergency they've got the money flowing in let's see Ohio how's Ohio doing John Kasich

CHAPTER 04 / 61 Discussion

John Kasich, CNN Confrontation Over Trump Address

John Kasich defends the tone of the President's address during a heated exchange with Don Lemon on CNN. While Lemon pushes for a condemnation of the administration's inaccuracies, Kasich argues that the serious tone was necessary and that minor clarifications in speeches are not unusual.

john kasich· don lemon· cnn· presidential address· republican

09:26 Republican never-trumper at least on the surface he's a never trumper. Oh, he is it never trumper and Don Lemon tried to rile him up come on I gotta get someone who hates the president! I just gotta say if the President came out to calm people's fears He didn't do a good job of it because they've had to come back and clarify it several times And this has been going long enough for them to get it straight we need straight accurate accurate information from this president and this administration, and we're not getting it. And I don't understand why you are tiptoeing around it." He came out gave an address that usually happens very rarely, and he doesn't get it right? I'm gonna tell you first of all he read it and somebody that wrote the book...I don't want to get into that. Yeah really. That's why you're here! To talk about the President's address! Can I finish now?! Let me talk!

10:16 Oh, you can't John! Because we're here to talk about the president's address. Wait I don't want you go on and deflect and talk about something else because we are here to talk about the President's address And you said that someone else wrote it He is the President even if someone else wrote it It should be mine I know he did Don, Don...He put this thing out because there was some confusion out there Now there's more confusion, John. And what I'm... look, look, I want to-I'm trying to say to you Don we got a move down the road looking back doesn't get things fixed We're not looking back The president's address was tonight! That is the newest information for this Is the president's address

11:04 I think it was fine. That's what i think you think the wrong with me inaccurate information that you have to come back and clarify two or three times, do you think that's fine? Look, I thought he did fine. That's what I thought. I thought he had the right tone and he no longer played around with we're going to blame Democrats or forget this stuff. He's...I hope he's trying to move forward because he understands the seriousness of this situation now fact that they clarify it isn't unusual in a speech for somebody to clarify something okay but I don't think that the tone he showed tonight takes away from some clarification. i think he set is serious tone, thats what I wanted out of him for a long time and I think we got it John...that's what I think I can be serious and sit here until you 4 plus four equals 85 Don needs a vacation man, he really needs rest

CHAPTER 05 / 61 Discussion

Andrew Yang, CNN Contributor on Technocratic Governance

Andrew Yang joins CNN as a contributor, arguing that the global pandemic highlights the need for functional, technocratic government. He suggests that a Joe Biden presidency would restore competence by bringing back experienced officials from the Obama administration.

andrew yang· cnn· joe biden· barack obama· technocracy

11:58 What kind of a reporter is this? It's not a reporter. It's the view for CNN's late night, overnight If you want some politicization of it, for that we need to go to CNN where our brand new correspondent contributor is Andrew Yang former presidential hopeful who loses all credibility by doing this. Nothing makes you appreciate a functional government like a global pandemic. I've always said that. Yeah, no you're right. There's very few people who have seen what happens when a society has the potential to really burst at the seams. Joe Biden's argument has been about sort of a return to moral normalcy but it's also going to begin to look like a return to competence

12:49 Because Trump and the Republicans have been running the government in sort of an anti-government frame, which is not what you want when you're dealing with a health crisis. And we all know when Joe becomes our president he's going to bring back many of the Obama alums who are really really competent and technocratic. There's going to be real hunger for that in the days to come among many, many Americans if the coronavirus crisis continues to grow. I'm hungry for some technocrats! I cannot wait! Now, here's what I would have recommended the president do. Hold on a second! I understand now that Biden is going to bring into the White House Obama's mom. Yes. Sorry, Michelle's mom. She'll be living with them exactly exactly

CHAPTER 06 / 61 Discussion

COVID-19 Testing Realities, Flattening the Curve Strategy

The reality of COVID-19 testing is examined, noting that kits are not as easily accessible as consumer DNA tests and involve an invasive swabbing process. The discussion shifts to the public strategy of "flattening the curve" through a two-week period of reduced social activity and working from home.

covid-19· test kits· flattening the curve· social distancing· quarantine

13:42 What's happening and I've thank you everybody producers from around the world are sending reports in? And I've been reading them all night Tina the keeper, and I looking at everything comparing First of all it seems like a test kits are really not Available anywhere there. You know they are available of course But this is not like a spit-in-the-tube 23andme which I think people think that that's what it is done Coronavirus yes, No what am I doing And these things take several days. It's unpleasant to have it done, it does have to be done by someone who knows how to swab you deep in your nose so... Apparently goes down the throat Yeah, it's not a pleasant experience but it's not like everyone else in the world has test kits So let's just get off of that They do in Belgium What I love seeing is that

14:36 The American people are not, I think they've dropped looking at a lot of them just like okay whatever we're taking matters into our own hands and i'm seeing companies organizations all kinds of groups And it's kind of a similar message is, all right we're all gonna do the best we can. We're gonna hunker down for a couple of weeks to flatten the curve this is the term you've got to be on the lookout for flattened the curve of the infection bell curve and then we'll get through this okay?

15:13 Although I don't think it's necessary, I encourage this. Let's just all okay for two weeks we'll do as little as we can you know try not to go to places where you could get or transmit And that's what the president should have said. Look, we're Americans We know how to do this a couple weeks will all just do the best we can check on your neighbor Can't get any groceries for him? We're coming together that way I really see that happening but the president didn't give any of that message I think people are gonna start ignoring everything or People's amygdalas are just going to explode and they're gonna freak out and that's unavoidable under everywhere around us

15:54 I don't know, they're not ignoring anything around here. Everybody's working from home. I had my haircut yesterday and the guy is packed he's gonna go have an operation. I couldn't get it up no cancellations no problem so i go over to get the hair cut this area of oakland elmwood district Has is always jam-packed parking on the street. The parking lot itself was dead empty The hair salon I was the only one in there Yeah, and there's a lot of reports about that everybody's hunkered down It's hilarious That's what I'm saying it's like this is a good idea do that as what Americans do we're bonding together Don't listen all this other crap and we're probably gonna be okay

CHAPTER 07 / 61 Discussion

Event 201, Pandemic Simulation by Johns Hopkins

Event 201, a pandemic simulation held in October 2019 by the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, is analyzed as a potential "playbook" for the current crisis. The event was funded by Dustin Moskovitz’s Open Philanthropy and the Gates Foundation, featuring fictional scenarios that closely mirror the subsequent coronavirus outbreak.

event 201· johns hopkins· dustin moskovitz· open philanthropy· pandemic simulation

16:38 And everything else is, I mean maybe the recommendations stay off of social media because it just people are making each other sick just by talking about it. Well they've been doing that for years. They're amygdala's the rest of it so I did pick up a few clips because since we're going to talk about this I do have some clips because you're the one that actually comes up with this, the idea that you're always irked about the fact when there's a shooting or something screwy happens. Yeah, I know you are going to talk about event 201 and it is not like we didn't discuss it but I'm glad you pulled clips. That's nice. I have clips. Since you immediately say... trying to say I didn't pay attention to it, I am pushing back! I didn't say that

17:28 I said you're the one that's always pointed out that there is always these pre-events that take place before a real event and there was one that took place with COVID 19. Yes Which is called Event 201 which was put on by John Hopkins, I also got some more details about some of the money behind this and one of the guys behind it. Well isn't this Gates' money? It turns out really be the open philanthropy money. Gates was part of it, so was the... Well it's even better if its Soros! Not Soros? Oh I'm sorry you said Open Philanthropy. Oh not Open... yes who is Open Philanthropy

18:12 Dustin Moskovitz and Carrie Tuna. Dustin is a 2% owner of Facebook, he's the guy who was at Harvard and then became a billionaire. He has never done anything! And then he married this kind of Trump hater named Carrie Tuna... You imagine? This is my fiancé, Carrie Tuna Carrie Tuna and she's kept her name Carrie tuna. I don't know why but she did she's a bunch of different operations, and it ends up with open philanthropy which has a Huge endowment and day and their goal is unlike other he must have it says that unlike all these other things

18:52 where you set it up so there's an endowment forever. You know, you've set it up to some money... No no! We're setting this up to spend it all. Oh and in what time frame? Before they die. Perfect They want to be both when they die they're gonna wanna die broke So there's no difference between these billionaires and us that's pretty good Yeah well their case or maybe our case one of the two So the thing is actually out of the Center for Health Security, which is a Johns Hopkins operation. And Johns Hopkins seems to me over the years has turned into a front for USAID and the CIA

19:34 And I say that because our economic hitman's working out of there. We have people on boots on the ground, and it makes no sense like it's and they have their very interesting over the years has become a very spooky place. And so they did this thing called event 201 and event 201 was a And you can look it up, just look up event 201. It was in the open there, not hiding anything. It was two months or a month either two months or a month and a half before the breakout of the coronavirus and it was a simulation of a breakout of the coronavirus. Crazy how that works! And so I have about four clips and I have a couple bonus clip later

20:19 that talk about it. And here, for example this is the event two and you have to remember everything here it was a half day event and it was a simulation and it was a table read kind of a TV show the scenario for what actually took place. So let's listen to the intro, this is Event 201 Intro to the event. The goal of the Event 201 exercise is to illustrate the potential consequences of a pandemic. The Event 201 scenario is fictional but it's based on public health principles epidemiologic modeling and assessment of past outbreaks in other words we've created a pandemic that could realistically occur

21:03 And for those interested in our assumptions, we'll have a lot of the background research and of the scenario publicly available on our Event 201 website at the conclusion of the exercise. The policy discussions...the challenges to be discussed in this exercise represent controversial high-stakes issues that would require high level input from business and government leaders. So just a few housekeeping notes before we get started. For our in-person audience, please do silence all your electronic devices. But you may tweet at hashtag event 201. Yay! Excellent. You may tweet...

21:46 So they go on and then she enters, okay we're ready to rock. And so they go with the movie... Here's how it works. They presented a movie about how it started and then they have a news, a phony newscast from GNN and the newscast goes on about it, and then they have... And then they go. It's like they might as well ring a bell and say okay now it is three weeks later here where we are but let us listen to the movie of how this whole thing got started. And with that here in New York and online welcome to Event 201. It began in healthy looking pigs months perhaps years ago

22:31 A new coronavirus spread silently within herds. Gradually, farmers started getting sick Infected people got a respiratory illness with symptoms ranging from mild flu-like signs to severe pneumonia. The sickest required intensive care, many died. At first the spread was limited to those with close contacts healthcare personnel co-workers and families but now it's spreading rapidly throughout local communities International travel has turned local epidemics into a pandemic spanning the globe. Just three months ago, caps started in South America but has now reached several countries with more than 30 000 cases and nearly 2 000 deaths

CHAPTER 08 / 61 Discussion

Seasonal Weather Effects, Coronavirus Spread Projections

A debate ensues regarding whether warmer weather will slow the spread of the coronavirus. While some reports suggest a seasonal decline, others argue the virus is not weather-dependent, leading to a prediction that the crisis might peak or shift by early April.

seasonal flu· weather dependency· australia· projections· april 6

23:21 Have we gotten any terrifying numbers out of South America? Anything from Mexico, I mean do we have... Nothing. Nothing right? And Africa still as good as nothing? Blacks can't get it! Well the weather seems to have an effect on it and... It's not supposed too I thought it was the, that'll all be over when the weather gets warmer. No no they said initially and they reiterated this this is not weather dependent it will not be over... Where was this reiterated? It was reiterated over and over I didn't even bother to clip but I thought you knew that! No I had heard quite the opposite actually. No you've never heard that

24:04 Yes, I did hear quite the opposite. You're hearing other stuff like for example...I heard this the other day on the radio Oh it turns out that they uh... just by the way i don't know why you are argumentative because this is all fitting into your statement. I'm not argumentative! I am just telling you what I read Well I heard on the radio this little ditty which really got to me was oh you know if the thing is a seasonal flu's worse because it spreads faster This is from one of these local experts. Yeah, well that's not the way we would know we were told I don't know if you remember or not but i always remember it they were told that this is virulent one person will give it to three people and three people give it to nine people and on and on And it was going to go like a bat out of hell in fact this event 201 kind of projected it to be that way too which

25:02 Well, I'm reading everywhere from like CBS News and Duke University that they think that it will affect the spread. But... I believe this is new! I believe this is playing into your scenario, which is this whole thing is bogus and it's going to end in April 1st. Oh no, April 6th! I'm still on my April 6 timeline. Yeah, it was one month after the signing of the 8.3 billion dollar bill. That's the day after my birthday. My birthday isn't April 5th for anybody wanting to help the show out I mean, they're just saying that there are lots of reports that warmer weather will stop this. It doesn't matter! Don't tell me I haven't read that because I did. Well, I'm not saying you didn't read it. I'm saying is playing into your scenario but I'm also saying that initially never had said that this was not weather dependent

CHAPTER 09 / 61 Discussion

Celebrity Self-Quarantines, Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson

Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson announce they have tested positive for coronavirus while in Australia. This is viewed as the start of a trend where high-profile celebrities use social media to document their self-quarantines, potentially influencing public perception of the virus's severity.

tom hanks· rita wilson· australia· celebrities· self-quarantine

26:00 And I can find doc, I'll find documentation if i need to prove that. But whatever the case is it may or may not be weather dependent It makes logical sense when you look at the map except in Australia where they do have a number of cases and then most recently Tom Hanks Well now let's just talk about Tom Hanks because you can make the prediction right now That by Monday we will have multiple celebrities self quarantined So they may or may not have the virus, but they'll be self quarantined and all over Instagram. This is going to be a trend Hi guys! Hi guys here I am hi guys just before Tom Hanks was announced i was talking at the table to dinner yes and I said to the kids

26:46 This is the whole thing is bogus unless some celebrities get it. Tom Hanks, why did you have to go straight to the top right away? Build it up slowly give me a Miley Cyrus I mean maybe The Kardashians they need that for the show that could work very well Don't go straight to Tom Hanks That was overdone Well then she says she mocks me my daughter saying what Tom Hanks says and I said well It doesn't count until he dies So now I've changed my tune to, none of this is mean anything until some celebrities drop dead. Well you know... hold on a second changing the table here that would have worked very well if the Pope had died that would have been the right celebrity and everything timing was perfect that didn't happen of course

27:36 I would say we should keep an eye on Ruth Ginsburg, would be someone to watch. Oh! Yeah that...I think we should watch out for her. The only reason I brought up the temperature or the weather change is you know just turn the weather machine on. You know that would be easy get rid of it. Again April 6th the markets not going to be back to normal. The V will have started no doubt But the money's in it has to die down. It has to die down we cannot, we cannot have a democratic, uh, a democrat convention with this underway you know this is this it will stop and not that not that the virus, not the virus will stop the track. Let's go back to event 201 and what was predicted and what they were working on to try to... What was their game plan? Now

Event 201 Economic Projections, Global Governance Agenda

The simulation results from Event 201 are reviewed, specifically the fictional "GNN" news clips predicting 30 million cases and massive financial market turmoil. The underlying message of the exercise is identified as a call for increased globalization and cooperation between international corporations and governments.

event 201· gnn· globalization· economic fallout· world economic forum

28:28 This is the third clip, this is the three weeks in. Now this is what they came out with like the bell would ring and somebody come now we're six weeks in now here...now you have to remember what happened to the real corona The one in China and the scenario they had predicted or they put together for us depending on how you want to look at it This is event 201. Listen to these numbers, this is three weeks in which would have been somewhere around I don't know January 20th you think? Well yeah although it was already... Yeah actually January 25th it was already well reported and the way the scenario ran was that it was underreported for the first while and then within three weeks though still this is what you got Welcome back

29:19 Please silence your phones. We now pick up this scenario three weeks later at the third meeting of the board on November 29th, 2019 Thank you all for reconvening at short notice we need to present to this board a serious new issue related to the economic fallout that is accruing over the pandemic. Let's start by getting the latest numbers and distribution from Dr Rivers. The CAHPS pandemic continues to grow with more than 1 million cases and an estimated 73,000 deaths worldwide These are only estimates because many countries are having trouble keeping up with surveillance and laboratory testing. Our models are showing that with this continued rate of spread, there may be 5 1⁄2 million cases and almost 350 thousand deaths in one month. The three-month projection is alarming with potential for over 30 million cases and 3 million deaths. The Americas are still the most severely affected but there are large outbreaks occurring in many countries across the globe

30:19 Countries with limited healthcare infrastructure have seen the highest death rates so far, but healthcare systems in high-income countries are also becoming overwhelmed. Financial markets have tumbled with all down significantly for the year. Economic disruptions are being felt across the globe." Thank you Dr Rivers So now let's look at this recent exchange on GNN that focused on the economic and financial crises that are rippling around the world The response to the Caps pandemic is now the most expensive international emergency ever. Political leaders around the globe are faced with many impossible dilemmas, including financial. We have two guests today to discuss the bottom line of catastrophic response. So just listening to this it kind of mirrors what happened

31:15 They had a much better name. I think CAPS is great, would have been much better than COVID-19 But if they did all this preparation, why was... were the... Did they produce a paper? Give it to anybody after they figured out all this stuff. You can go look at the website and you'll find it. And did they give it anyone in government like hey! Everybody got the paper. You should look at this The paper I don't have in front of me but you can look it up It's just lame Right but here.. I'll give you the gist of it We need more globalization, we need more cooperation between governments and corporations. Can I say that again? Yeah! We need to globalize because it's a global thing...we got an internationalized and we need more cooperation. Do you remember the old cooperation between governments and corporations? Yes This is the old bromide. But this is the opposite of what is happening people are now aware that globalization is part of the problem and were not stupid

Chet Hanks, Number 33 Symbolism in Media

Chet Hanks, son of Tom Hanks, releases a 33-second Instagram video discussing his parents' health. The segment explores the recurring appearance of the number 33 in coronavirus reporting and its potential significance as a coded message or occult symbol.

chet hanks· symbolism· illuminati· number 33· instagram

32:19 By the way, Tom Hanks' kid Chet. Now he's a rapper or hip-hopper I'm not quite sure he's completely tatted up except for his neck and face I don't think his parents will allow that and he is So he does this 33 second video, in fact it cuts...it should be 34 seconds but he literally cut one of his main tattoos in the middle of his chest is the all-seeing eye. And I have to say that throughout the reporting on coronavirus the number 33 is everywhere! It's 33 cases, 33 diagnosed, 33...33 is all over the place

33:04 And we've always seen that as some kind of code, a message. It's really prevalent right now and here is the 33 second video from the all-seeing eye kid. What's up everyone? Yeah it's true my parents got coronavirus crazy they're both down in Australia right now because my dad was shooting a movie down there But I just got off the phone with them. They both are fine, they're not even that sick. They're not worried about it. They're not tripping but they're going through the necessary health precautions obviously but uh... i don't think its anything to be too worried about. I appreciate everyone's concern and well wishes but um... I think it's all gonna be alright but I appreciate it and uh... just everybody- It cuts off thirty three seconds exactly

CHAPTER 12 / 61 Discussion

Traditional Public Health Measures, Pandemic Containment Limits

The conclusion of the Event 201 simulation emphasizes that traditional public health measures like isolation and social distancing may be insufficient during a fast-moving pandemic. The exercise stresses the need for pre-established private-public partnerships to manage cascading societal consequences.

33:52 And I actually went on a quest to find mainstream interviews with people who are suffering, have suffered family members etc. Almost unfindable four on YouTube for mainstream news organizations that interviewed people with pretty much the same results which is yeah you know so and they can play if you but let's get back The event 201. Here's the end is the wrap. The wrap! So as you can see, the CABS pandemic was catastrophic and as we've said, the impact of a severe pandemic is not only a result of the disease itself but really the cascading economic and societal consequences that would follow now We don't want to give you the impression that traditional public health measures aren't valuable because they absolutely are

34:51 In fact, in the 200 some outbreaks that WHO responds to each year interventions such as isolation of the sick and social distancing disease surveillance really do help to interrupt the spread of disease and control epidemics before they become pandemics. But in a severe, fast-moving pandemic it may not be possible to contain the spread through these kinds of traditional measures. And as we saw in this scenario there's a limit to what government NGOs and global business can do on the fly to stop a widespread and lethal pandemic That's why prior planning and promotion of routine public private cooperation in advance of the next pandemic is really critical

Dr. Tom Inglesby, Johns Hopkins Media Presence

Dr. Tom Inglesby, Director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, is identified as a central figure appearing across mainstream media outlets like CBS and 60 Minutes. His long-term advocacy for pandemic preparedness is linked to the funding and execution of Event 201.

tom inglesby· johns hopkins· 60 minutes· pandemic expert· cbs news

35:40 Well, that's interesting. Governor Cuomo certainly took that to heart. Yeah well before we get to that I want to just bring a couple of little things that bugged me about this whole thing besides the fact it looks like a playbook and it was one of these things that took place just before an event This was at CBS. I saw this guy over and over and over again on the different networks in every place else, pandemic expert on CBS play. This is on Norah O'Donnell show. Yeah hold one second. Here we go And tonight we want to bring in Dr Tom Inglesby he's the director of Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security you might have seen dr Inglesby on 60 minutes on Sunday so wait So this is the guy who was part of event 201 then? If it was a Johns Hopkins he would have known about it right

36:31 Part of it? Doctor, thank you so much for joining us. Today, the WHO declaring coronavirus a pandemic and then we heard Dr. Fauci of the NIH say that this is 10 times deadlier than the seasonal flu That's a pretty serious message doctor Yeah it is a serious message Both the pandemic announcement is serious I think mostly for countries in the world that haven't had cases yet to kind of make sure they're clear that this epidemic will affect them But Dr. Fauci's discussion about the seriousness of this virus as compared to seasonal flu, I think he is absolutely right Yeah this times 10 is constant? The issue that I have with the numbers is of course the numbers The denominator for seasonal flu Is people who have died from flu or pneumonia

37:31 So you're adding a lot in there. So either it's very underreported, the number of seasonal flu deaths or we're going to see a much lower ratio with this pandemic once you add in pneumonia. The point that clip was not to bring that issue in but it was to point out that this guy Inglesby was at not only at the event and play Event 201 Bonus 1 Hold on, I'm actually agreeing with you. His message is the same one everyone's using. The role of the Pandemic Emergency Board members here in New York and with that let's welcome our participants and invite them into the room

38:14 Tom Inglesby from Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security. Yeah, the guy is jizzing all over himself he can't believe his luck! He's the only one that knows the scenario that was mentioned here he is just opening the whole event right here bonus two Good morning and thank you all for being part of this pandemic emergency board. We're at the start of what's looking like it will be a severe pandemic, and there are problems emerging that can only be solved by global business and governments working together. The global community has been working to respond to this pandemic since its recognition but as health and economic impacts have become more severe the World Economic Forum

39:02 has convened this board because of your combined expertise, your backgrounds and your global voice. We will need all of you to help us respond to urgent policy crises that are emerging The purpose of this board is to advise leaders in national governments, global business and international organizations on the response to the pandemic particularly focused on international problems that require collaboration between business and government Your recommendations will be critical and will be promulgated and communicated broadly at the end of this meeting. Global, global, global! This guy was on 60 Minutes the week before he was on 60 Minutes Australia from what I can tell He has...and if you look him up and look at all his YouTubes he goes back years going on about these pandemics that are gonna come And managed to hit the home run when he ran into Moskowitz and Miss Tuna

40:03 and loaded up their operation with a lot of money. And in fact, if you look at their sponsors it's unbelievable. They got Gates' money they got everybody's money they put this event 201 thing on and to make it to all of a sudden next thing we know have a pandemic pretty much similar in terms of virus being implemented and we're all in a panic. The stock market's crashed, the whole world has gone into a tizzy I don't think it worked out anything like this predicted or what they think how it should go which is global governance and cooperation between this and that In fact when you listen to the whole event 201 thing there was none of...anything thats happening right now with this event

CHAPTER 14 / 61 Discussion

Pandemic Predictability, Historical Government Testing Claims

The predictability of pandemics during election years is discussed, with a skeptical look at whether the current situation is a "dry run" or a live exercise. Historical references are made to the medical establishment and government agencies conducting chemical or biological tests on unsuspecting populations in the San Francisco Bay Area.

bear market· biological testing· bay area· medical establishment· pandemic

40:48 is nothing like what they predicted. They didn't expect toilet paper shortages, okay? They didn't expect people buying water... So first of all this kind of- This is why I never clipped it and why wasn't that interested although I'm very- I like the that this guy is the expert that everyone's bringing on! That I didn't expect It's like people saying we're going into a bear market. Eventually you're right and then you're gonna be on TV every single day so they were right about the pandemic which I think anyone could have said will have some kind of pandemic, we haven't every election year so it not that hard to predict

41:29 They had it to the event was two months before this one took place It was six months before we would have been saying the same thing like whoo if it was a year before I mean To me, I don't think you're suggesting that this was a complete coronavirus is a hoax No, they could vote corona virus Exists. It's killing people But it's not beyond the governments, especially if you lived in the Bay Area where they used to gas people just occasionally with all kinds of different chemicals to see how they'd react. I mean this is though the medical establishment has got a few Dr. Mengeles in it. I wouldn't be surprised if this was just an actual run as opposed to a dry run of a real pandemic. I'm not seeing evidence that that's a real pandemic

CHAPTER 15 / 61 Discussion

Italy Lockdown Realities, 5G and Bioweapon Theories

Reports from Florence, Italy, describe the reality of the national lockdown, which includes self-declaration forms for travel and grocery store restrictions. Various conspiracy theories circulating in Italy are mentioned, including the virus being a Chinese bioweapon or a reaction to 5G radiation testing.

italy· florence· 5g· bioweapon· belt and road initiative

42:21 Well, they're dead in Italy. I mean what's our latest report from Willow? If you listen to Scott Adams who is all panicked about this by the way most recently he's talking about the dead being piled up No, bullshit. I'm in constant contact with my sister Willow who lives in Fiorenza near Florence and in fact she gave me kind of a blow-by-blow as the Prime Minister. The President came on television last night and said okay here's what we're doing it's not a total shut down you know when you ever hear total shutdown in Italy no it's not a total shutdown

42:57 If you're driving around, going to work it's okay. If you can stay at home please stay at home they are closing restaurants which is that's a problem I think they already were supposed to close after six o'clock If you are going out, then you have to have a self-declaration form which you can print off right off the internet fill it out Now of course there's that people are jittery so weird stuff happens but otherwise there's inconvenience of the grocery store where you only they only let a few people in at a time and

43:35 But there's no mention even in it now. There's a lot of conspiracy theories in Italy And there's and there's a number of them, which I some of them I actually kind of like The big one for the Italians is this was This is a bio weapon deployed by China because they want to buy up the country and It's happening already Italy has been selling out to China In fact another conspiracy theory claims that because Italy was the first one, the first country in the EU to open up their hearts and minds and wallets to the Belt Road Initiative as we've discussed many times. That this was a punishment! So at first we punish China just for being Chinese and then any collaborators including the Italians will give them a dose of their own medicine

44:31 The one I also like is the 5G conspiracy theory, that 5g is being tested. They turned up the power to see how people would respond in Wuhan and of course at a certain point there's too much RF radiation and people start to get sick There are reams of internet material on this, how you can get sick from radio frequency overpowered radio frequency near your body And, you know just for good measure they tested it out in Italy as well where they're deploying 5G. So there's a lot of these types of theories but it's not... she says the same thing she says people are panicking The toilet paper I've looked into this and if you people listening not you John but if you went out and got toilet paper If you were seriously thinking about it

45:27 Your amygdala is inflamed at best and probably enlarged to a degree. This is a control mechanism, there's pretty good articles about the psychology of it Of course if you're really going to be shut in You're not gonna use... toilet paper is not handy because you need food Things to drink and other important things that you could think up but no toilet paper Is because people are very confused feel out of control They see people doing stuff And this is all from an enlarged amygdala perspective Just as if someone in front of you is walking through the woods and they jump because they think they saw a snake You'll probably jump too. The toilet paper rolls are great because it's big, and it gives you a very good feeling when you can take big control Of something like okay? I'm in control here. I've got big thing taking that back It's complete

CHAPTER 16 / 61 Discussion

Mainstream Media Victim Interviews, Mild Symptom Reports

A lack of "horror stories" in mainstream media interviews with COVID-19 victims is noted. Patients from the Diamond Princess cruise ship and other locations describe mild symptoms, such as a temporary fever and a dry cough, often feeling healthy despite testing positive.

diamond princess· yokohama· nbc news· symptoms· fever

46:23 panic that is set in when people do these things. But again, no dead bodies... this is the same thing we heard from China that they were incinerating bodies and it showed up on satellite pictures! Yes, that's how bad it is now I'm not believing it every single video this isn't just where you have event 201 I have a huge problem with the complete lack of mainstream interviews with any victims. You could just go look for it and you know, we interview lotto winners! We'll do anything to get a human interest story...anything

47:07 Here's a report from New Zealand. She's in isolation in a Tokyo hospital after testing positive for the virus while on board the Diamond Princess cruise ship that is now docked in Yokohama and in lockdown for 14 days. Her husband still stuck onboard Rebecca says she's shocked she has tested positive for the deadly virus given how fit and well she feels Just can't believe it, can't believe this happening to you

47:51 I, you know not one to freak out. So it's not like a broke down in tears or anything like that or screaming and yelling. I just took it for what it was and uh... you know, come to the hospital and get well. Did you feel unwell? Do you feel unwell? No I never really felt unwell. I had a little bit of a cough when they told me and when i got here i had a bit of a fever but all of that has normalized and i have no symptoms And I think this is part of the problem, they just can't get a horrible story out of anybody. Crestview Florida... Tonight an Okaloosa County woman who tested positive for coronavirus while on the Diamond Princess cruise ship in Japan is back home. Jeanette Rivaldo spent several weeks quarantined at a hospital in Japan and was eventually cleared by CDC

48:42 Ribaldo talked exclusively with Channel 3's Renee Beninati. And Renee, how is she doing tonight? April, tonight Ribaldo is back home in Crestview and healthy. She tells me she was quarantined in Asia for close to a month after catching the coronavirus. I cried when I saw it. It really brought a lot of emotion. Jeanette Rivaldo showing us the get well notes that now fill her home I hadn't felt bad, i never worried about my safety or my health but But all these people were sending so much love. Rivaldo was one of close to 4000 people aboard the Diamond Princess cruise ship and then the top hit on YouTube or Google Video does the same NBC News, The only one I could find from NBC. What's weird about these symptoms? It seems to be

49:33 true for almost everybody is I went days without knowing. I have the virus and all of a sudden just clicking my fingers, I jumped from normal temperature to 103. I developed a small dry cough but unlike colds or other flus that I've had there was no stuffiness in the nose, no nose drip No sneezing, no body aches. No chills So that was the weird part of this My worst symptom was the fever and that hit for only about eight hours And then like every fever after that I was drained feeling lethargic It's definitely dehydrated there are no antibiotics for this so they were pumping me up with a ton of Gatorade

50:18 I've been through every color of the rainbow with Gatorade to keep myself hydrated and other than having the dry cough that still persists, it's getting better now. CORONAVIRUS! So JC has what i think is a coronavirus out And the description of that woman has pretty much the same description exactly. Your son JC has it you say, you think he has it? Yeah well he could be the flu too or could be something but whatever is exactly what she said was the same thing and not

CHAPTER 17 / 61 Discussion

Testing Scarcity, Global Disease Mortality Comparison

The difficulty of obtaining a coronavirus test is discussed alongside a comparison of daily global death rates from various diseases. Data from The Lancet shows that tuberculosis, Hepatitis B, and malaria cause significantly more daily deaths than COVID-19, which was clocking in at 56 deaths per day at the time of the report.

tuberculosis· hepatitis b· malaria· mortality rates· the lancet

50:55 debilitated and you get this stupid cough which is annoying. But the thing is, they will not give him a test! Exactly this is the same thing in Rotterdam... Is it possible that they won't give the test because they don't want to see the real numbers? No, no. What I understand... Well it's easier to deal with if you don't have to deal with real numbers It might be that is more common than we think it might not even be new If you really go out there and start testing So I don't know the answer to that, but I know that around the world. I'm getting the same report someone says hey, I think I have a coronavirus. I have symptoms they call their doctor or they go to the hospital and there turned away and say okay self quarantine we need to use tests for people who are weak immune systems Or our elderly etc We have no time for you

51:54 So to me it sounds like, yeah there's tests. It's not an easy test again. It's not spitting a test tube The real virus is of the mind and its propagating through mainstream media And online where all we're not even talking about people with just numbers here's a chart Here are some numbers I got another chart over here look at this ooh But this happened and oh this is more it's more dangerous than that This is all a bunch here let me give you some real numbers deadly diseases There's a nice chart that I've put in the show notes. So this is... What is the denominator here? Disease deaths per day worldwide, number one disease death worldwide as of according to The Lancet 9th of March. A guess? Heart disease. Tuberculosis

52:58 Oh, tuberculosis is number one? 3,014 deaths per day. Number two Hepatitis B. Number three By the way if anything should be quarantined it's somebody with tuberculosis Yeah pneumonia 2200 a day HIV AIDS this is much higher than I expected 2100 a day malaria 2000 Shigellosis what is shigellosis Never heard of this. Well, I don't want it because it kills 1600 people a day rotavirus 1200 seasonal flu 1000 people a day norovirus 548 whooping cough 440 typhoid typhoid 396 cholera 392 meningitis 329 measles 247 rabies 162 yellow fever 82 and there it is clocking in at 56 a day kovat 19

CHAPTER 18 / 61 Discussion

FISA Act Renewal, Payroll Tax Holiday Debate

Representative Ken Buck of Colorado introduces an amendment to rename the FISA renewal bill to "The Federal Initiative To Spy On Americans Act." Meanwhile, House Democrats led by Nancy Pelosi reject President Trump's proposal for a payroll tax holiday, focusing instead on sick leave and food stamp extensions.

fisa act· ken buck· nancy pelosi· payroll tax· house democrats

53:59 So we don't understand scale as human beings. But we're being abused, by the system and people with tons of agendas. I mean oh my god they are pushing through another bill today probably by the time we hear this i'll have had a chance to read it. Money! It's money? Well there is also more going on This was on the floor the other day because of course, the Patriot Act still has to be renewed. You didn't see any of that going on except I have this little clip. Madam Speaker, I have an amendment at the desk to correct the name of the bill. Clerk will report the amendment. Amendment to H.R. 6172 offered by Mr. Buck of Colorado. Amend the title so as to read a bill to be known as The Federal Initiative To Spy On Americans FISA Act

54:55 At least we still have some humor here and there. So actually, here is... Now Pelosi that this is also political Trump asked for something very big He said let's have a payroll tax holiday for the rest of the year which conservatively is about a million trillion dollars less in the coffers of The United States Treasury This has been rejected flat out by the Democrats, by apparently some Republicans as well. I personally although...I would love to try a modern monetary theory at this point. I wouldn't mind giving that a shot who gives a shit what do we got to lose? We have to do it one way or the other. We have to try one of these huge liquidity injections

55:48 Although, obviously I'm against the Federal Reserve and the way it's been set up. But we could give it a shot Pelosi is having none of that. House Democrats are actually they've finished up a meeting in this room right behind me talking about this and other issues as well but what Democrats are trying to do is get out in front of this issue ensuring that their priorities are included in any sort of relief or aid bill. And those are to ensure that people who aren't receiving any income because of coronavirus get some relief and also people who are food insecure because it also gets them relief. So what that's translating into in

56:24 bill in the House of Representatives includes sick leave for people who either have to be quarantined because of coronavirus or who actually have the virus. Other things is an extension of unemployment insurance and an extension of food stamps aid for kids who get free and reduced lunches at school but can't go to school because their schools are closed. But what's not included in this amen is the president's biggest priority, and that's a payroll tax cut that has fallen flat on Capitol Hill among Democrats even some

56:59 Republicans are saying that if people are not working, then a payroll tax cut does no good. So what also is not included in the House bill at this point is anything else that the president is wanting? But we do know Speaker Pelosi and Secretary Mnuchin spoke just moments ago, and that Pelosi wants a vote on this bill tomorrow before they leave town for a week. Amen." Yeah so this is another little... That's why I played the whole thing out. So tomorrow would be today before they leave for a week. Oh! They should not leave. They should be right in their seats in DC working very hard on this crisis. I think it would be very bad optics for them to leave

Nancy Pelosi, Armageddon Rhetoric and Podcast Tangent

Nancy Pelosi’s description of the pandemic as "Armageddon" is mocked. This leads to a brief tangent about a woman starting a podcast as a "dream come true" amidst the global crisis, contrasting the dire political rhetoric with mundane personal ambitions.

nancy pelosi· armageddon· podcasting· ham radio· isolation

57:41 Then again Pelosi could continue to propagate her message. This is what she's saying in every interview. This is Armageddon. My view, civilization as we know it at...is at stake. Civilization as we know it is at stake! This is Armageddon!!! Which we say now here. We have ham radio guys Ham Radio is the public service network of last resort when the apocalypse comes Where are the guys who are gonna save the world, right? Exactly gonna play corny clips place starting a podcast Hold on I was well before I look for that here's my ISO recommendation this is Armageddon

58:27 Thought that might be useful. I'm starting a podcast this has truly been a dream of mine for years, and I'm finally going for it Who was that who was there just some rando pretty much? But I showed that for the end to show no you're gonna. I so okay. Let me say I got it I'm starting a podcast. I don't know man This is Armageddon. I think that's bad dude let me have a downer ISO at the end This is good because then we can laugh at it What the Armageddon one? Yeah. I see, you've been on this downer kick for ending the show. I don't understand it. You keep stopping me because it's funny. Well not as funny as starting a podcast. That's pretty old. It's a dream come true by the way for this woman. Her whole life has been leading up to this. If you listen to her yeah. So happy for her

NBA Season Suspension, Rudy Gobert Positive Test

The NBA officially suspends its season after Utah Jazz player Rudy Gobert tests positive for coronavirus. The decision followed a chaotic scene shortly before a game against the Oklahoma City Thunder, marking a major turning point in the domestic response to the virus.

59:19 Well, while we're talking about these horrible things there's one little test that has come up. I don't even know if they know it is a test of the whole thing... COVID nightmare. And it has to do with the NBA, they should for what first of all they suspended the NBA is because Rudy Gobert got COVID and they did a calculation on ESPN showing that he with COVID probably played maybe six or seven games. Oh really? And he's a starter, so he would be bumping and breathing and bumping and sweating on at least I don't know about 60-70 players. Now they should all get COVID if it is virulent even mildly virulent. We'll see if that happens but in fact here's the announcement as it came in on they got everybody irked

1:00:16 This is NBA suspends an 18 second clip just came in right live on the news. They had to stop the news feed and bring this in And we are monitoring breaking news tonight The NBA just announcing a player has tested positive for the corona virus shortly before a game between the Utah Jazz and Oklahoma City Thunder, the NBA now announcing they are suspending this season Nora And that is huge news to me. Huge, huge! Now here's a funny pair of clips I want to play just to show you that no matter how rich you are You can still be kind of...you can be rich and powerful but where your place is in society may..uh..you may not understand it completely and this was uh....this is like two clips This is about LeBron James

LeBron James, Empty Arena Policy Reversal

LeBron James initially states he will not play in games without fans present in the arena. However, he quickly softens his stance the following day, acknowledging that he must follow the league's mandates for the safety of players and the franchise.

lebron james· nba· lakers· fan attendance· safety mandates

1:01:07 LeBron James, it was told that they may be playing games and there would have been one tonight but they suspended the season. They may be playing games in NBA. LeBron James is worth nearly a billion dollars. They will be playing games with no audience Right. So here's what LeBron says, this is LeBron won't play his clip one We play games without the fans? Nah it's impossible On Friday night after his Lakers pinned the Bucs LeBron James let it be known that if The League schedules games with no fans in NBA arenas That he would not play If I show up to an arena and there ain't no fans in there...I aint playing so they can do what they want to

1:01:52 No fans, no fair. Well you know what he can say whatever he wants I guess they can do it there well What happens the next day? This is LeBron will play part two. But as coronavirus concerns mount, leagues are bracing for the unprecedented possibility that the games may go on while the fans stay home and James has now softened his stance They feel like it's best for The safety of the players, the safety of the franchise, safety to the league To a mandate that then we all listen to it

1:02:30 Someone came down on James. I guess he's not the king. Yeah, apparently somebody knocked on his door So there is a king above James after all huh? Hmm... I guess he is not the King Probably green with George Washington on it I'm sure that has something to do with it. The Dutch Prime Minister went on television, Mark Rutte seen as a dweeb in general and did this whole thing about we're not gonna shake hands! We're... the Dutch will no longer shak- of course the Dutch actually don't shake hands they like to do three kisses But okay, we're not going to shake hands. And so he goes through this rigmarole and we can touch the elbows... We could touch our knees! We could do all this fun stuff. So at this moment I'll translate on-the-fly At this moment we are stopping with shaking hands You can do feet kissing which apparently is a thing you can bump elbows

Mark Rutte, Handshaking Ban Gaffe in Netherlands

Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte holds a press conference to announce a ban on handshaking to prevent virus transmission, only to immediately shake a colleague's hand after the announcement. The segment explores the history of handshaking and suggests adopting bowing as a more hygienic alternative.

1:01:52 No fans, no fair. Well you know what he can say whatever he wants I guess they can do it there well What happens the next day? This is LeBron will play part two.

So at this moment I'll translate on-the-fly At this moment we are stopping with shaking hands You can do feet kissing which apparently is a thing you can bump elbows

1:03:28 I've seen all kinds of great variations at schools, very creative people. But we stop today with shaking hands." He then... the show ends He stands up, turns to the guy to the left of him on the panel and shakes his hand! Oh you're saying no stop stop we'll do that over. We can't do that anymore oh no oh crazy! You are not allowed to do that! This is the kind of leadership they have in Europe

1:04:06 Well, shaking hands has always been somewhat weird to me and arcane because it stems back from the days where you had a sword. You put your hand out so there's a guy pulled a gun or something I mean it was just... So you have a grip on somebody in case something bad happens It doesn't really make a lot of sense. I mean, the bowing is you know...I'm surprised we don't try to adopt that nobody's brought that up for some reason when was the last time somebody said they've got the fish fist bumping and elbow bumping and arms crushing and all the rest of it but what about the bowing? Why don't we just start bowing like the Asians do? It's not who we are!

United Airlines In-Flight Panic, Allergy Misunderstanding

A United Airlines flight is diverted to Denver after passengers became unruly over a fellow traveler who was coughing and sneezing. Authorities determined the passenger was merely suffering from allergies, leading to the removal of three individuals who attempted to incite a "riot" on the plane.

1:04:48 They started bowing for a reason, probably because of the coronavirus. The old one, Corona 1510. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself. A plane had to be diverted to DIA after several passengers became unruly because they were concerned that another passenger had their coronavirus. The flight took off from Eagle Colorado. Our Mountain Newsroom reporter Matt Kroshel spoke to one of the people that were was on that flight who watched this entire thing unfold Matt. You know Karen, the concerns over coronavirus have hit the high country with two confirmed cases in Eagle County one here in Summit County so the people onboard this flight on Sunday noticed another passenger was coughing and sneezing they contacted the crew on board and demanded that that passenger was removed from the plane but that's not exactly what ended up happening

1:05:39 hooting and hollering. They were trying to get the whole plane to join in what sounded like a riot." United is telling us that the three passengers that were removed from the flight, they're still under investigation right now to see if there will be any charges as for that passenger that was coughing and sneezing well they're telling us it was just allergies they did check for fever and that passenger was allowed to continue on to Newark People keep your wits about you. This is don't go insane over this stuff and this is the problem We've had to we have were so primed for this so prime We're so ready media and entertainment has gotten us To this moment in the beautiful machine that his social networks and the mainstream media the cable news networks It's it's a perfect storm

1:06:27 And then the sad thing for me is you've got all these kids, and I've spoken about the Robin Hood app before. It's always been a scam they're front running on these kids Which means you know, you put in an order for let's say Apple Apple stock and then they'll go buy it and sell it back to you at a higher price. It's I mean, it's legal but as a total scam all these kids got their weed and their skateboard money in this app And then of course we have the market gyrating like crazy and not once not twice But three times in a row Robin Hood traders stuck on the sideline yet again The trading startups saw two days of ads

1:07:05 outages last week during another historic market day. Today, again you see tons of red on the signs here at the Stock Exchange and another thousand point drop for the Dow. The startup meanwhile once again saying it's seen quote major outages on equities options in crypto trading this morning. Robinhood says it has now been partially restored its last update says degraded performance but clients still on Twitter complaining that they can't execute trades. The founders now saying that days of outages last week was due to higher than normal trading volume that stressed their systems. We also saw some downtime at Fidelity, TD and Charles Schwab last week due to that same trading volume issue. Robinhood customers though taking to social media to vent some outrage about missing those trading days last week a lot of those are millennials and were first-time traders most of them threatened to pull funds of those we saw on Twitter late last week we also saw a class action lawsuit filed against the startup

1:08:01 For negligence due to that outage. Yeah, good get rid of those guys Well, you know these kids are probably did the kids a favor It's like it taught him a very valuable lesson. Well, I just thought it taught him a lesson also kept them out of the market No! They were stuck in positions they couldn't get out of Oh well... And they let you short on margin there's all kinds of crap They let these kids do is very bad That's not good But there is a silver lining, not just for these kids but also a potential exit strategy for you and myself.

1:09:35 New York hand sanitizer presentation just because it was so weird Before you go on with that. I do have a suggestion as a really great gag Okay, so you buy one of these bottles the hand sanitizer? I'm already feeling it yes You dump it out and clean it out thoroughly And make sure it's completely cleaned So you can actually drink from it you put it fill with water and put one drop of blue food coloring. Then you go to McDonald's and you take the hand sanitizer, make sure you're in public and then you spray your hands before eating a hamburger then spray the burger

1:10:17 And then open the burger and spray the burger, and then open your mouth and spray a couple shots in your mouth. Start eating the burger you will get attention! Just imagine seeing somebody do that I can't be too careful! I think you have to say that... That's part of the gag is you have to say i can't be too careful But I think you should do it just have a little handy spray bottle and just do it in a restaurant. Do all over the place Anywhere, you go Absolutely so New York State, you know There's been a shortage of Purell and other hand sanitizers for a while now for a couple of weeks Even though is no more effective than washing your hands with soap and water but okay It's handy and people like it makes you feel good You get you can sniff it

Vaping Propylene Glycol, Potential Antiviral Properties

The discussion touches on the potential for vaporized propylene glycol, a common ingredient in vape juice, to act as a disinfectant for the lungs. While historically linked to slowing the spread of influenza, its effectiveness against the coronavirus remains unproven.

vaping· propylene glycol· influenza· antiviral· health claims

1:13:59 And it turns out it just doesn't have enough alcohol in it. It has to be like 150 proof T-dose, I don't think it's 120 maybe? No no t-dose is normal. It's not higher than 100. I think it's like normal 80. Another fun report... Is the inhaling of vaporized propylene glycol! Yeah which can't be healthy Well that's what vaping is, is propylene glycol That's what is in vape juice Oh is it propylene glycol really? Yeah, yes. And apparently that kills the... It protects against... Kills the host! Hey worked didn't it?!

1:14:41 It's not all vape juice actually, but the ones I use and apparently that does it scientifically is proven to stop the flu influenza or to slow it down We don't know about the coronavirus. But hey why take chances? Wouldn't that be just funny if you could survive Coronavirus by vaping yeah, it would be very funny. It would just be the perfect perfect ending for all of this Well, there was just a couple more clips just to get this subject out of the way. Might as well play... We already talked about the synagogue being cordoned off I don't need to play that clip but we do have you know just so everyone shows that they're involved we do have CBS

CBS News and CNBC, Remote Broadcasting Shifts

Major news networks including CBS and CNBC shift to remote broadcasting and alternate locations after employees test positive for COVID-19. The CBS Broadcast Center in New York is closed for deep cleaning, while CNBC anchors broadcast from global headquarters and other sites.

cbs news· cnbc· remote broadcast· self-quarantine· sanitation

1:15:34 Again, they have apparently shuttered the New York office because they have some Coronas in there. And tonight we here at CBS News also find ourselves in the headlines two of our networks New York based employees... Headline? Wait, they finally started doing the headline. I didn't know that this was a headline! Well it is now! ...been diagnosed with coronavirus and they have our full support those who worked closely with them have been asked to self-quarantine and our New York City Broadcast Center is closed tonight in order for it to be cleaned none of that however will change our commitment... How dirty was it?! ...to report the news each of you every night from right here in Washington well as people will know

1:16:17 We too are in the headline seeing as we have been self-quarantined for about 13 years doing this show. We pretty much don't get out of the house, so... We will continue to bring you the show twice a week on Thursday and actually our model is being copied by CNBC! Thanks, Beck. It's 802 now on the East Coast I'm Joe Kern along with Andrew Ross Sorkin at the Nasdaq Market site in Times Square Becky Quick is at CNBC Global headquarters in Anglewood Cliffs New Jersey and if you're wondering why this show looks a little different this morning it's because we are deploying our teams to alternate locations

1:16:54 out of an abundance of caution for the safety of our employees and everyone they come in contact with. This is what we will look like for a while, but it won't change what we do every day. Becky as you can see is still being the middle. I'll bring you that news you need to navigate these volatile markets US equity futures I'll tell you that on the Dow, that down 11 191 22. So yes we're also going to be very brave and continue to do the show from different locations just to minimize any potential effects too that could bring this whole show could be brought down Yeah, it could happen. The whole studio has to be shut down or as in the case of WNW ABC or wCBS whatever was in Manhattan yeah to be cleaned because the place is apparently a crap hole and needed cleaning I will say this the big upside to all this is the cleaning they're cleaning that rail cars now they're clean the airline seats just cushions at the airport are clean in the seat

1:17:57 I mean, they're cleaning finally. You know it wouldn't be a bad idea to have a national time like every day all right at 10am we're all going to clean wherever we are yeah just and then get some of that blue stuff you were talking about spray in your mouth yeah exactly there's upside to it so bottom line for people who are looking for some guidance from us Yeah, it's just as risky as anything that can get into your lungs. And I say from my experience and everybody else is including Jay who went up to Washington by herself and drove for a long while she had to test her driving skills so she took a three-hour drive

CHAPTER 29 / 61 Discussion

Silicon Valley Traffic, Spying on Americans Act

The shift to remote work in Silicon Valley has significantly reduced traffic and increased parking availability in the Bay Area. The conversation returns to Representative Ken Buck’s attempt to highlight government surveillance by renaming the FISA bill the "Federal Initiative To Spy On Americans Act."

There are certain things that are still crowded for some unknown reason But the other things aren't, and there's a lot more parking and it's easier to drive. The traffic is lower because especially in the Bay Area where Silicon Valley everyone can work from home because they can all work from home. There's no half these jobs are bull crap jobs! There's no reason to be in the office except so somebody could do a head count. So they're all working from home so that traffic is clear you get to the city and back pretty easily It's like dynamite

The value of No Agenda producer credits on resumes and IMDB is discussed. Adam Curry shares that his long-time agent, Matthew Lesher, contacted him following his Joe Rogan appearance to discuss the "Animated No Agenda" shorts, signaling potential new opportunities.

matthew lesher· joe rogan· imdb· producer credits· animated no agenda

They are real, they're recognized anywhere that the credits are accepted so you can put them in your curriculum, you can put them on your LinkedIn it does help get jobs we know that for a fact... IMDB? It's what's the oh IMDB if you have an IMDB put it right there! In fact you could start an IMDB if you have a producer credit yes in fact the guy we spoke about earlier Inglesby yeah has put one up for himself for a 60 minutes performance. Now think about that for a second. Really? You're interviewed and you're on IMDb, we should give him an executive producership just for the hell of it! No, he shouldn't but no... We will be doing this again on Sunday

1:45:57 If we make it, you never know. But I think we'll be here to bring you more of your info-samen... ...to keep those amygdalas at a nice and—amigdalae? I should say it in nice and healthy size. And to help us please go to devorak.org slash N A. And you are well up to speed to debunk all the craziness about coronavirus! Our formula is this We go out, we hit people in the mouth I'm starting a podcast All right, I have one more Candidate for ISO.

This is my agent he's been my agent for 25 years has gotten me And you finally called your back No! He called me out-of-the blue I did not reach out to him at all uh...he has gotten me zero gigs and twenty five years but it is officially my agent You can look them up In the Agent Directory And we had a little chat and he said, how you doing? I said you got to check out animated no agenda. He was playing it on the phone before even hung up and he said okay call me back in a few days. As he was parting he said ha it's great they're short! And I don't know what that means but usually if the super agent is positive good things come of it

1:48:00 It's probably something in the ether, in the milieu, that says these short videos are good. Yeah there is something going on...something Well I think we're on our way We're on our way to the exit strategy everybody! Speaking of which this kind of dovetails two topics You know we've talked about how people when they are anonymous online become such incredible douchebags and will say stuff to you that they would never say to your face. And this goes back to my first online experiences with Usenet And Eric writes in and says, hey so I saw you on Joe Rogan and have a funny story. As one of the first celebrity types online i sent you an email 25 years ago making fun of your hair! And you wrote back saying fuck off asshole well twenty-five years later I'm sorry what a douchey asshole I was all this amazing technology and I immediately troll Adam Curry

1:49:00 Anyway, your appearance on Joe Rogan has inspired me to take my online security more seriously. Bye bye Google! Sorry man thanks for being a dick." Isn't that like a Casey Kasem long distance dedication almost? Isn't that beautiful That was fabulous. I thought that was just beautiful, I think you should have gone on the Rogan show shaved head I'll do that next time great idea a great idea because we didn't get enough attention right 1.7 million views on the video by the way There are skull caps you can wear you can fake it and this gag has worked since the 30s. Oh yeah Always works. I'd like to direct your attention to the European Union for a moment that

CHAPTER 39 / 61 Discussion

EU Flight Ban, Guy Verhofstadt and Federalism

The technical reasons for the US flight ban on the Schengen area are explored, citing the inability of old airline COBOL systems to track multi-leg journeys. Meanwhile, EU politician Guy Verhofstadt uses Brexit as a justification to call for a "real union" without veto rights or opt-outs.

guy verhofstadt· european union· brexit· schengen area· federalism

1:49:41 Two things. First, just going back to the Kung Flu... The reason well let me give you the events as I see them there has been an ongoing argument between the it would probably be a Department of Homeland Security and the airlines to get information on where people are coming from when they fly from Europe to United States this is the genesis of this flight ban And the airlines, and this has been going on for a couple weeks. They're like we can't do this we cannot track where someone comes from if they're doing a multi-leg flight and of course we know why they can't track it they can't track their customers because they can't really hook into the mainframe it's two separate systems and we've been through this many times

1:50:33 The system, the airline booking systems are pretty much all COBOL big mainframe systems. That's why your name is still all uppercase they can't even do mixed case so they couldn't figure it out and that's what I think Trump said screw it we'll just block everybody for a month that's just one of the many problems going on in Europe the complete control for the European Union post Brexit is in full effect Countries are now being asked to consider, read, to do. To put clauses into their constitutions the Netherlands some politicians have already said this is easy we should do this we should amend our what they call the con their version of the Constitution to reflect this and that is once you're in the EU you can no longer ever ever ever leave

1:51:31 And of course they'd like new states who come into the Union to already have that in their constitution. Here is our friend Guy Verhofstadt, he's the guy when it comes to crazy stuff at EU explaining exactly what he wants. So in my opinion yes... Yes! Wait a minute! In your opinion what is it? Brexit is also a failure of the Union. It's also our failure, we have to recognize that in this debate and yes there is a lesson to learn from it and this lesson dear colleagues is not to undo the union as some are arguing here no this lesson is and that we have to learn from brexit is to deeply reformed the union To make it a real union

1:52:23 That means a union without obtains, opt-outs, rebates, exceptions and above all without unanimity rules and veto rights. Only then we can act! And only then we will defend our interests and only then we defend our values It is this lack of effectiveness that is the problem that we have seen in Brexit. There you go Where's the Zeke Hyle? There it is! Isn't that nuts? Sieg Heil. I'm telling you... No, no rebates! No getting out!!

CHAPTER 40 / 61 Discussion

Dutch Nexit Sentiment, UK Digital Services Tax

Polls in the Netherlands show 71% support for exiting the EU, though the hosts remain skeptical of its likelihood. In the UK, a new 2% digital services tax on American tech giants is set to go into effect on April 1st, 2020.

nexit· netherlands· digital services tax· silicon valley· uk

1:53:23 Now this is a foregone conclusion that we're gonna do this. That's the only solution, because every time somebody gets irked while they're in the Union... This is what happened to the United States was United States bunch of states you know and then all of sudden group of them decided now you know we don't like where things are going started civil war You have to.. What he said is what you have to do I am it sounds like you know You know, it sounds like the new German empire is what it amounts to. But still, either that or you're not going to hold us together. Otherwise, you can have people like Hungary go in their own way and they are in the EU but they still do their own thing which we cant' do that. We've got to obey the rules from Brussels. Polls in The Netherlands show 71% would like an exit

1:54:11 Yeah, I'm sure they would. Now you got this turncoat, this guy... your buddy? What's his name? I don't know what you're talking about. He's always been a thorn in the side of everybody, he used to bitch at Farage Yeah this is not my buddy... Is that? I thought you knew him No, I know Frans Timmermans But this was Giefer Hofstraten Timmermans is the guy who wants 250 billion for the Green New Deal The Green Deal they call it Oh yeah now all of this is coming together beautifully

1:54:48 Yeah, and I think the Netherlands should give it a shot. It'd be fun! What? Trying to get out? Yeah why not what do you got to lose come on yeah i think so it's over What do you mean? I think Brexit was the last. I think it's over, I think that EU is going to win this battle and they're gonna put the clamps down on everybody It will be very interesting to see what happens with the UK First of all, just going back again to the Kung Flu The reason why the UK's flights will be allowed into the US is because they're not in the Schengen area. So it's totally trackable, you know where someone came from before they... Because they had to show their passport. Yeah, they couldn't have boated across from Greece and then gotten to Italy and then floated around

1:55:40 then just snuck into some country and flown back the United States. A little harder to do, yeah a little harder to do however we see it a huge problem happening in the UK this was already warned about as of April 1st and I don't know why they still have this on the books that digital services tax will go into effect which puts a 2% corporate tax on all basically American Silicon Valley companies. So search engines, social networks etc and I don't know that's it's...I mean it's not a law it's a rule but they keep restating at April 1st 2020 the government will introduce a 2% tax on the revenues of search engines social media services and online marketplaces which derive value from UK users

CHAPTER 41 / 61 Discussion

Joe Biden, Hitler versus Hillary Audio Illusion

A viral clip of Joe Biden is analyzed where he appears to say "Hitler's race" instead of "Hillary's race." The hosts discuss the "two movies, one screen" effect of the audio, where listeners hear different names based on their expectations, while noting the underlying claim of sexism in the 2016 election.

joe biden· hillary clinton· audio illusion· sexism· campaign trail

1:56:39 There is a limit though. I think you have to it starts at 30 million users, which is easily lowered to our You know thirty thousand listeners they could do whatever they want Well that did probably gonna do it I'm surprised it hasn't been done already, to be honest about it. Let's talk a little bit about the election. The latest we had another round and we got a debate supposedly coming up on Sunday or Saturday which is probably not going to happen or maybe not. It won't happen with an audience.

1:57:15 So as we discussed on the previous show, it seems only just yesterday. The smart money was on keeping Biden in his cage keep the muzzle on but oh no you can't let the guy out for three seconds This is why they're trying, I think that they should cancel the debate and they should come up with some coronavirus related reason for it. I'm not sure how you do it there already they've had to negotiate that Joe can sit down apparently it's troubling for him to stand during these the whole time? I mean don't...I've only heard this, I haven't researched it but sounds right

1:57:58 I know you have some glitchy stuff from Joe, so one of the... Not like the last show. I only have two and one of them i will say this is an interesting one because this is actually one of those moments where you can hear things in 2 different ways we've had examples on this show before and it all stems back to that color address Is it golden white or blue and black? Two movies, one screen. And so I'm listening to this clip now this is the clip where Biden says Hitler's race referring to Hillary's and play the clip in and then i will say that I have actually serious seriously and cognitively

1:58:44 accurately heard it both ways play it. I'm not a pundit, there is for example I saw that there was sexism in Hitler's race and the way...and its real! First of all its real so you know that? I heard Hitler now that you set me up let me listen again. I'm not a pundit, there is for example I saw that there was sexism in Hitler's race and the way...and its real yeah I heard him in both those plays I heard Hitler the first time but then accidentally as it was playing in the background, I heard Hillary and then when you just played these two times. I've heard Hillary both times. I hear Hitlary

1:59:25 I kind of hear it. Well, there's a hit that's the problem It's got a little both in there But they everyone made a big fuss about this and i know you know who cares but But I think your point that you I think you made it on twitter is correct And so and what is untrue about the statement? Yeah What's nothing untrue no matter which way you heard it So yeah All in on that so the good one was this biden going after some poor schmuck Who I think was a Trump guy or a Bernie bro coming in to just harass him. Oh, oh! Just on that the guy was prepped and was reading his entire question from his phone Yes he was so you know He was prepping then he appears on Fox & Friends the next day on Fox wearing it don't tread on me hat it's like

CHAPTER 42 / 61 Discussion

Joe Biden, Gun Control Confrontation and Shushing

Joe Biden engages in a heated confrontation with a Michigan union worker over the Second Amendment, telling the man he is "full of shit." The exchange, which included Biden shushing a female staffer and misidentifying rifles as "AR-14s," is criticized for its aggressive tone.

joe biden· second amendment· ar-14· shushing· union workers

2:00:17 This was an ambush. It was a total ambush of Joe and he can look forward to a lot more of this it's if He's gonna bite I mean it his bite was so big And interestingly, do you know what? What most well most people in my household because of course, I'm only 49% What most people dislike the most about this clip Josh yes the shushing exactly The shushing was played up by the left to the max. And I thought it was, when I heard it, I said oh this will get people irked but what was more interesting than that irksome aspect of him telling a woman to shush was actually the term itself! Who uses shush? Check the calendar!

2:01:09 It's 2020 What should he have said? What is the appropriate term well I mean you should just eyeball her and just give told her to shut up with his eyes But also he could as he could have said shut up. He could have said quiet He could have said I'll take that. I can deal with this, which is what he should have said. Well, I could do it. But I will shush woman's shush right? Well she is clearly a handler for in the crowd and I think she made a mistake It was her mistake to immediately jump on that because that showed us Her job is to steer the candidate away from anything that could go viral She should be fired

2:01:55 She should have just moved him along. This is, and I hear this too in the White House it's worth every single time there's a live event right after the president says thank you The press, and it sounds like mainly women or that's only what I'm hearing above the... you know the press starts yelling questions. And the White House press people are like, That's it! It's done okay goodbye you're leaving now! They're so loud and we hear it you know? Like hey I can hear you yelling the whole time and it is like crazy Well this goes back to Ronald Reagan

2:02:34 Ronald Reagan discovered that if he was cordoned off, if the press is cordoned off with a rope and he's coming in on the chopper or whatever and he stayed away from the press. They would get filmed yelling at him, screaming questions. Mr President! Mr President's screaming questions making them look like a bunch of idiots. Yeah and it was like remember that during the Hillary run for president in 2016 where they were the Hillary bus was going and then they would run after yeah the little van yeah this sort of thing but there The way they're doing, Trump's doing it kind of differently. And I think he is making a mistake with his group of people that are over yelling each day should let Trump walk away and let them continue to yell at him because that makes them look like idiots. But in this case, I'm not talking about the oppressor. This is when he lets the press into the by the way, this is according to the experts. This is his presser

2:03:31 He does it on purpose. But it's the room and the cabinet meeting, and the press has to be sent out of the room that they're doing it poorly? I think so. I should just throw a hood in blackhoods. Well you know, he doesn't keep his staff very long now. On the press. So we are talking about staff on the press or the press. OK well let's skip back to Biden this is the Biden argue with the gun advocate These union workers that have been working countless hours under the Trump administration. I'd like you to explain how you plan to not only keep us working, but how you intend on getting the Union vote when there is a large portion of the union workers that are gun enthusiasts and

2:04:19 actively trying to diminish our second amendment right and take away our guns. You're full of shit. Alright, thank you! Now go to shush! Shush! Oh wait a minute I okay that's interesting so first he says you're full of shit and then she jumps in and then he's shush That's where the shush came from because he couldn't get past the shit. He was still in the shit, Shit Shush. I support the second amendment. The second amendment just like right now if you yell fire that is not free speech and from the very beginning i have a shotgun 20 gauge 12 gauge my son's hunt guess what?

2:04:59 You're not allowed to own any weapon. I'm not taking your gun away at all! You need 100 rounds of- When you were in a vendo, when you said that you were going to take our guns back and use them- I did NOT say that! That's not true! It was a viral video like the other ones are putting out there saying they lied! Your voice? You said that you're taking the gun back? He just clarified it! Wait, wait. Take the AR-14s and look at this. Okay, this is not okay. Hold on, hold on. Hey let's go outside. There are a lot of guys. You're working for me man! I'm not working for you. Thank you so much. Don't be such an ass. Hey there is a lot of people here. Look, there's Adele. Are you able to...

2:05:39 I said are you able to hold one? That's great! How about the machine guns? No it's not. Do you need 100 rounds? In America, with handguns there are what you call assault rifles. Why are you advocating for assault rifles when you've got a gun and a handgun? Yeah, the AR-14 comment is quite off. No this exists as the air 14's a directed energy weapon used in the game Halo and everybody knows by his big halo guy Really now? They are 14 yeah no Now did way it was presented and this is pretty much to clip

2:06:32 According to Democracy Now, and I'm sorry didn't clip this part. She never played the clip she just said that first Biden of course she hates Biden because Amy is all in with Bernie and they all know he's getting shafted yeah and She says that he threatened punch the guy in the face and then take him out in the back and beat him up. Yeah, I never heard any of that. It's and I heard it he says He doesn't say I'll take you out back and punch you in the face So you want to go outside? We'll take this outside did see did say it'd take you outside think okay, which is Oh Sorry, that's wrong Joe Biden Bernie Sanders take your pick

CHAPTER 43 / 61 Discussion

Super Tuesday, Voting Irregularities and DNC Tactics

Reports of voting irregularities during Super Tuesday are examined, including long lines in Michigan and electronic poll book failures in Missouri. The discussion suggests these issues may be part of a broader effort by the DNC to disadvantage Bernie Sanders' campaign.

super tuesday· voting irregularities· bernie sanders· dnc· poll books

2:07:16 Well, OK. I will say anyway the thing was Biden is kicking ass and this is not going to be unstoppable but I think that what we have here in all it does play this clip and this is the tip of the iceberg This is what's really going on This is the voting irregularities only democracy now plays went with this There were reports of irregularities at many polling sites during Tuesday's primary In Missouri, some would-be voters in St. Louis County left long lines at dozens of precincts without casting a ballot after the county's electronic poll books failed. In Kansas City, Mayor Quinton Lucas was turned away from the polls Tuesday morning and told he wasn't in the system even though he has voted in same precinct since 2009. Mayor Lucas had just posted a video to social media stressing the importance of voting.

2:08:09 In Michigan, disabled voters reported problems voting in Detroit and Dearborn. And college students in Ann Arbor and East Lansing reported long lines with wait times of up to two hours. In a statement Senator Bernie Sanders called the voting problems an outrage writing quote at a time when Democrats correctly attack Republicans for voter suppression it's disappointing to see people standing in long lines for hours today waiting to vote in Michigan and around the country Yeah, it's the pole pads again. They had to go all high tech and all smart. And when we were a reason this whole thing that Democrat Democrats are the ones is that I say what you are?

2:08:57 uh... problem with the democrats blaming their republicans are trying to read the elections are trying to suppress voters because they ask for all that's right i d all my god as suppressing voters but meanwhile there pulling starts like this to get make sure that bernie doesn't get elected is a scam and again the end of democrats were really good at it they bring illegals in a boss and then they have on vote andy m My understanding is in many of these states the actual presidential Candidate votes were collected by the DNC separately there for tallying the back and surprise me The the backend that does all the local stuff was not even it and it was known It's like known that this was not going to be ready. That won't be ready for a couple months another reason like how can none of this be ready if

CHAPTER 44 / 61 Discussion

Michael Moore, Trump Malaise and DNC Deals

Michael Moore attributes Bernie Sanders' struggles to a "malaise" caused by Donald Trump, arguing that voters are too demoralized to seek systemic change. Speculation arises regarding deals made by the DNC to offer cabinet positions to former candidates like Buttigieg and Klobuchar in exchange for endorsing Biden.

michael moore· donald trump· bernie sanders· dnc· michigan

2:09:50 I mean it's been years. Why am i even asking? Michael Moore of course has to weigh in and now he is a big Bernie Sanders supporter, and he blames Trump of course But I think Trump has just pummeled this country so badly And I know...I live in Michigan So I'm familiar with how people feel They're frightened they're demoralized There is a malaise that has spread across this country and certainly throughout Michigan. And people can't take one more day of this. The fact that, that this coronavirus has driven home just how much danger we're in to this individual in the White House...

2:10:39 that I think people just didn't want to... Asking people to do two things, get rid of Trump and get rid of the system political and economic system they gave us Trump. That's what I think was too much to ask probably for people who are just like can we just get rid of Trump? Please! And ummm....I understand that Okay, that's if that makes him feel better to think that. That guy is unhinged But it was really... And talk about a guy who really looks like an old woman Again how the DNC called everybody up and oh but I had to think about the deals they were getting or the proposed deals It doesn't mean anything but apparently Buttigieg was offered an ambassadorship to the UN

CHAPTER 45 / 61 Discussion

Vice Presidential Metrics, Identity Politics in Selection

The criteria for Joe Biden’s vice-presidential pick are discussed, focusing on the media's emphasis on "not white" and "not male" candidates. Kamala Harris and Stacey Abrams are highlighted as top contenders who meet specific racial and gender diversity metrics favored by the party.

kamala harris· stacey abrams· tulsi gabbard· identity politics· vice president

2:11:33 I think either Klobuchar and or Warren doesn't seem to have accepted anything but she was like Treasury Secretary and Kamala Harris possibly Attorney General. Oh brother. But we still need a vice president and there's nothing like a pollster over on one of the CNNs or MSNBC to tell you exactly who Bo Jiden needs. And for these young Bernie people issues do matter so yes I think that Biden best

2:12:08 play in bringing in the Sanders people is to bring with him on the ticket somebody who is going to represent a more progressive platform. You know, like I said not the squad... Like who? What would that person's name be? Oh! Um you know and also somebody who is not a white male right? Of course! Apparently not white. The party is very diverse so... Not White! Just say not- Can you believe this?! We just need not white, not white! Excuse me. Do you understand that's kind of racist? You say not white... Don't you want to bring in the best person possible? No! Not white, no penis. And also somebody who is not a white male right preferably not white and then saying right like yeah right don't you agree everyone agrees white men white people with penises bad

2:13:04 a white male, right? Preferably not white. The party is very diverse so I would think Kamala Harris or Stacey Abrams would be my top two picks because they're hitting three metrics all at once gender diversity racial diversity and ideological diversity now if we look at your check boxes your candidate Grisham qualifies too She does not she's much better than the other ones because well except for uh camilla but gershom is a native american which is even better that's she's from the western state which is what you need and she's a woman so she's the one no penis three no penis very good and no penis big three tulsi gabbard by the way is still running you know then now described everywhere on mainstream media as

2:13:49 A woman of color. They keep saying that! You know, we still have Tulsi Gabbard in the race a woman of color. Why don't you say representative from the great state of Hawaii? No...a woman of color. You know it's veteran actually she is still in the reserves dynamic young She checks four boxes because she has got military. Does she have a penis That's another one she well, I don't know actually maybe okay. Just saying The candidate that I have my eyes on Presented himself to the press and a very very short

CHAPTER 46 / 61 Discussion

Vermin Supreme, Sexism and Likability Standards

Vermin Supreme is noted as a satirical alternative in the presidential race. This leads to a critique of a PBS segment regarding the "burden" of likability and grooming standards for female candidates, which the hosts argue are equally applicable to men in the public eye.

vermin supreme· elizabeth warren· sexism· likability· pbs

2:14:34 I'm sorry? You mean him. I thought you were the Amy Klobuchar fan! No, John... For the vice president. No, no i'm talking about the President who I want to run and see as President of The United States. The guy will be voting for Vermin Supreme, of course. He presented himself to the press. There you go! Joe Biden did this sound for him. He's good to go. Well yeah exactly

2:15:14 I love me some vermin supreme. Vermin Supreme 2020 dot com, he's your guy. Could it be any worse? Vermin Supreme is definitely the funniest candidate. And this was on PBS and this was a little back and forth with Judy and a couple of women going on and on about electing a woman president. They made a number of assertions that I think are complete bull crap, it's a very short clip but it is worth listening to. Electing a woman president analysis. Amanda Hunter what are some examples of what women still have to deal with? You know we just heard

2:15:52 Elizabeth Warren say, look if I say there was a problem with sexism people accuse me of whining. But the reverse you know women know that's just not true there is sexism out there Certainly, and we know from our research that women are held to a higher standard on the issues of qualification and likability. Voters assume men are qualified all men have to do is put out their resume And women have to prove it over and over and that's part of the reason We saw this creeping electability refrain coming up over and over and we also know that likeability is non-negotiable for women voters won't vote for a woman if they don't like her and they will vote for a man that They don't like

2:16:34 And likability is something that's so subjective. The advice is like walking a tightrope, use humor not too much humor take credit but also share credit dress nice but not too nice So much of it is based on hunches and opinions and thats such a burden women have to bear and men simply don't Such a burden having to learn how to dress. Now listen to that bullcrap, likeability if it's the guy you don't like you don't vote for a guy because he's a man that's bull crap women will do that they'll go for women just because they're women I if I don't like them guy when we've done it on this show I see she's a schmuck I'm not gonna vote for some guy though I think is unlikable as a creep but and then by the way the proof of the pudding was Bloomberg yeah

CHAPTER 47 / 61 Discussion

Hillary Clinton, Hulu Documentary and Political Timing

The new Hillary Clinton documentary on Hulu is analyzed, with a focus on her transition from a young advocate to a hardened political figure. The timing of the release is viewed as a potential setup for a future political move, while her comments on male grooming are dismissed as inaccurate.

hillary clinton· hulu· documentary· bill clinton· arkansas

2:17:23 Exactly. He had everything, including money! Yeah nobody liked him I mean even Billy Joel got Christie Brinkley with money There you go. But Bloomberg couldn't buy a vote! This is out of the Hillary playbook, out of her Hulu special I've watched the second episode You know they're an hour each these episodes and Hilary said something very similar she said it takes me an hour for makeup men just throw on that bop-bop and i'm like that's not true That is so untrue. Men have grooming habits, we have things we need to do We need to put a knife on our face typically in the morning If the interview's in the afternoon we gotta do it again Which means if you have TV makeup on removing it There's definitely some time that goes into it

2:18:14 I found that quite offensive, but the timing of this... there she is full circling overhead. The timing of this documentary is so obvious! I mean, I don't know when she's gonna make a move but it-this thing is set up for and As a review of this second episode, indeed it's around 1990 when she turns and she goes from obvious hero for young girls and women on a path. And she turns into a dude I think she said all right that's it! I'm gonna run Bill especially after he lost his re-election

2:18:55 And you see her walking in front of him. He never lost the re-election? He lost the re-election as governor of Arkansas, yes sir he did. Oh yeah in Arkansas sure. Okay and then he won the next time after Hillary took over because Bill Bill is charismatic and he's an oaf. He likes to get high, he likes a drink, likes the hangout... That's why Hillary got involved in all these douchebags! The savings & loan shit, the whitewater Of course Bill was in the background with the Bushes doing mean Arkansas running all the coke So she was corrupted and couldn't get out of it And just decided I'm gonna be a dude and run it One day I'll be president But she becomes very mean

2:19:37 very mean-spirited, very angry and says things like well it meant so easy. I can't wait for episode 3 to melt my brain even further. Well I'm glad somebody's picking up the slack Do you think she's going to take a stab somewhere along the line? Well that has always been my theory but this timing is getting really sketchy They have a defective product as candidates protect the public from knowing this. But that's not going to work! It's working fine, it doesn't work for people who listen to our show or people are online but the mainstream media doesn't play any of these clips I mean they sometimes...I mean Democracy Now will approach it once in a while but this isn't normally played

CHAPTER 48 / 61 Discussion

Mainstream Media Influence, Host Disagreement on Reality

A sharp disagreement occurs between the hosts regarding the remaining power of mainstream media. One host argues that the public has largely lost trust in outlets like the New York Times and CNN, while the other maintains that these institutions still hold significant influence over the general population.

mainstream media· cnn· new york times· public trust· debate

2:20:27 berate Joe for being a bumbling idiot? I think you're overestimating the power of the mainstream. I think that power is gone, in fact it's demonstrable people no longer trust it they certainly don't trust any mainstream after this coronavirus no one trusts it I think that it's the word is out everyone can see it just because they're not saying It doesn't mean that people aren't aware of it and the people who come on and protect them have something in the game But the voters have isolated yourself from reality. Oh, yeah sure you're now in dimension B Shut the fuck up your dad and you're very annoying today Yeah, you've just been incredibly annoying the whole time why that's a good question I don't know why

2:21:20 I'm not buying it. The public doesn't pay any attention to mainstream media. The public is catching on that you can argue that with me but then say that no longer in reality, I am in dementia B is an incredible insult Well okay, sorry if said that but I'm not buying any of it Think the mainstream media has got a lot more influence. I think there's a crossover point Maybe some people are paying some attention, but they still have the influence in New York Times CNN MSNBC NBC let's skip to MSNBC you really think that they still have the power that They used to have no They don't have the party not all of the power They used to have they have most of the power they used to have and

2:22:07 So can we just have a disagreement on it instead of shaming people? Okay. Alright! I don't know why you're so sensitive I'm not sensitive. I'm just responding. I've just got a little tired of it Well, you said to me that was a jerk all the whole show and no end yeah Yeah, well that seems that's you seem over-sensitive You started off by telling me I was out of my mind about coronavirus So and then ever said you when did I use the words? You were out of your mind Do you know what I'm talking about

CHAPTER 49 / 61 Discussion

Prince Harry, Russian Prank Call and Climate Activism

Russian pranksters successfully trick Prince Harry into a phone call by posing as Greta Thunberg and her father. During the call, Harry criticizes Donald Trump’s support for the coal industry, claiming the President has "blood on his hands" due to the impact of climate change on island nations.

prince harry· greta thunberg· russian hoaxers· climate change· donald trump

2:22:48 No, I was backing your theory up that the coronavirus thing is something phony about it and it's just gonna end all of a sudden when it shouldn't. Right... okay fine That's how you remember it. Let's take it to your side! Strange way of doing this. I was backing you up 100%. Mm-hmm let's listen to the call that once again our Russian hoaxters are on path And they, let me see who was the last person? They punked Bernie by calling and saying that oh this is Greta and Greta's dad. And they did the same thing to Prince Harry who for some reason thinks he still is allowed to speak on behalf of anything even though he's effectively no longer a royal kicked out done but here he is with some good old Trump hate

2:23:38 I think for many, many years we've been at not a tipping point but every year we get closer. And once we get over that tipping point then it all changes but at the moment the fossil fuel industry and certain presidents around the world are driving completely the wrong agenda and i think the most important thing to do is you know...I don't mind saying this to you guys The mere fact that Donald Trump is pushing the coal industry so big in America, he has blood on his hands because the effect that it has on the climate and on the island nations far away. Again out of sight out of mind but we visited those places and I'm sure you have as well People's lives have been completely destroyed people are dying every single month

2:24:26 by some form of natural disaster that has been created from this huge change. in our climate. So again, we have to almost physically shake these people and get them to realize that not only are they stealing from your future which you've said over and over again which I applaud you for but also that they are directly responsible for actually killing people and wiping out whole communities. And now I'm confident within the next five to ten years things will change but we can't wait five or ten years so i think if

2:25:02 If Donald Trump can become the president of the United States of America, then anything's possible. Right? Ah so good! So good! They do this to more people Why does this guy even... I don't want to even get into it why these guys make public appearances It's just because someone is willing to pay for it Someone is willing to pay for these two to show up They love it They love it What was your I wish I could find that old clip of Joy Behar when she had her show You you can try mm-hmm when she goes off on Rush Limbaugh She just goes nuts and she says I because rush limbo is did we have a clip? Is it a real clip? Yeah, it's a real clip. Mm-hmm

2:25:51 And what she says is on the clip, I don't understand how this guy can get off saying any of this stuff about the climate because he's not a climate expert. He's not a climate scientist! He doesn't know what he's talking about and always use that as kind of the model for like why is... How come it if one guy on one side of the argument says this seems like bogus doesn't make a lot of logical sense That's bad. But if a guy like the prince says just the opposite, anybody is not an expert as Prince Harry. He doesn't know anything about climate science he has never been a scientist. What he does know is that he knows a lot about coal his family even Harry has been involved in coal mining

2:26:38 And I guess the coal mining is with that. Yeah, yeah he was out there digging exactly He knows about it. He certainly knows about it Okay, we have let's see where are we? We've got an OTG segment coming up. I think we should take a little A little break and thank the rest of our producers here. Yes, we have people to thank starting with Ron Conway should be Conway on what says there

CHAPTER 54 / 61 Discussion

Meetup Site Rules, Childerberg Camping Trip Controversy

The hosts clarify that the No Agenda meetup site is strictly for show-specific gatherings and not for general event advertising. This follows a controversy regarding the "Childerberg" camping trip in Austin, which was denied a listing to prevent the site from being used for external plugs.

childerberg· austin· meetup rules· advertising· mimi

2:40:59 I'm sorry Did you say something cuz like that couldn't hear it to the jingle were you did? You want us guys on the meet-up thing or that okay, and I yes We have to remind people that the meetup site is for meetups. It's not for announcements or selling cars or miscellaneous things. Well, let's be specific about it! There's a thing called the Childerberg camping trip which is a libertarian conspiracy theorist thing going on in Austin and they wanted us to put it on the meetups but it's not a meetup and we have to make it clear so this thing doesn't get...so our meet up site doesn't get clogged with anything that's NOT meet-ups

2:41:45 Specific to the show. So if if you had this before we had this discussion before right? My question is if it's at an existing event such as the furries such as The soccer game in in Texas, I think was Dallas How do you do that You have a meetup at the event. Right, but isn't that what these guys were doing? A meetup at that event? It sounded like a plug for the even itself Ah okay In other words if you had the furry thing for example... You have a bunch of furries meeting up at a convention That's actually the site Yes The idea is not to plug the convention If they come in and say we got this great furry thing going on And then just coincidentally there is a meet-up there

2:42:38 I just think we have to keep it. No, I'm in agreement. I just want drifting understand Understand the rules that makes a lot of sense So the way to position it would have been were having an no agenda meetup and the location is here Right but even then this case it was pretty dubious Okay, I don't know anything about this Childerberg lots people talking about it I have no idea. It's in Austin apparently. According to Mimi, the guy chatted it up with you He chatted what up with me? I don't know

2:43:16 Well, he says I the guy tells me that Adam contacted him And y'all bought into that By anyone where the other I didn't care whether you contact him or not Well, I contacted no one but I have seen I have seen posts about it. I have seen Twitter things about it But I've never contacted anybody Alright, so let's try and keep it meet up specific everybody Now, the OTG story which I want to do because i've been holding on to this for two weeks. We just haven't gotten into it as there's so much going on is about this geo-fencing warrant that took place in Florida here's the backgrounder A search warrant was issued by the Gainesville Police Department to Google for GPS has drawn the attention of some experts In April last year

CHAPTER 55 / 61 Discussion

Geo-Fencing Warrants, Google GPS Data Privacy

A legal case in Gainesville, Florida, highlights the use of "geo-fencing warrants" where police demand GPS data from Google for all devices in a specific area during a crime. This practice raises significant Fourth Amendment concerns, as innocent bystanders can have their private data searched by authorities.

geo-fencing· google· fourth amendment· gainesville· privacy

2:44:03 The file was known as a geo-fenced warrant for three houses at their properties on Northwest 32nd Street. They want Google to give them the GPS data of anyone with Google accounts in that area during a burglary that happened in late March of last year. Professor of media law Frank Lamonte with the University of Florida and the Brechner Center for Freedom of Information says that one's right to privacy in matters like this one may have been signed away and the terms and conditions for use of online mobile services. Once you use a service like, say Gmail. You're agreeing to the terms of use of Gmail and part of that may be that they reserve the right to comply with the warrant or turn over your data if they are demanded to do so Most recently an anonymous third party filed to have the search warrant squashed in Alachua County based on privacy and 4th amendment concerns That motion has not yet been seen by a judge

2:44:57 So this is really quite an interesting case and I think it's something that we'll see more of in the future if it even comes to light in the mainstream. There was a guy, he was on his bike and he lives nearby a house that was burgled... burglared? Burgled! And the local police asked Google for a geofence of any devices they had seen in that area, which includes the street out in front and I guess some of the neighboring properties. So that they could issue... well, they wanted to want... They issued a warrant for this if they wanted this

2:45:39 and this guy happened to live nearby, was biking through the area. And all of a sudden now they want to look at all his information And this is I think this is a this is a new It's a new road that law enforcement is going down. You know we have the ring cameras That really has to happen with permission of the owner of the video But even that seems to be more easy to opt into and I'm a little bit concerned about this I mean you could be implicated in stuff and then have Authorities go through your information just based upon the fact that you were or your phone was somewhere at a certain time

2:46:24 Which brings you to some great storytelling where you could take the phone and plan it on a dog. Exactly! But there has to be a crime, it needs to be somewhere where something takes place and you'd have to know about it but how about this? How about just... like don't... Well Dave if your a burglar or idiot criminal Don't bring your live phone with you when you bust into a house. How else am I going to talk to the getaway car? Come on, this is the stupidity of the criminal class! But what's worse is that as an innocent person... A warrant can be issued just to go through your shit. Oh yeah, I think you could set someone up. Exactly! And then the next thing happens and who knows?! This is for people who have nothing to hide from people!?

2:47:14 So what if the authorities could just go through your Gmail today? Just based upon the fact that you were in a certain area or your phone was in a certain area at a certain time. Yeah, once they get access to one thing and especially if it's Google which all these apps you have to give away the store to use them and any one of them didn't go through any route to get all this data after collecting the data as we think they probably are because for marketing reasons. Yeah, it's a real problem. This to me still goes back to the first time they put the black box in the car and right now it's for one thing but pretty soon you'll be getting speeding tickets in the mail. You know oh you went too fast the other Tuesday on the freeway. It's just this is a foregone conclusion we're doomed. The worst part is that it's just gonna cost you more money to stay anonymous

CHAPTER 56 / 61 Discussion

Telemedicine Apps, Banking Fees and Bitcoin Crash

The trend of insurance and banking companies using apps to track users in exchange for discounts is criticized as a precursor to mandatory fees. The discussion shifts to the recent crash of Bitcoin to $6,000, questioning its status as a "safe haven" asset during market turmoil.

telemedicine· progressive insurance· atm fees· bitcoin· safe haven

2:48:09 You know, the keeper and I have new health insurance. I like it's a pretty good outfit but you know there you go hey install the app for your telemedicine no i really don't need uh... I don't need to consult or talk to you but you know what's coming discounts Discounts, you gotta put the app on your phone. I wouldn't even mind calling the doctor from a browser but no, no, no, you have to use the app. You're right, insurance companies are played with this marketing strategy and it's working out. Progressive being one of them where they buy little plug or whatever it is or you call them up. State Farm actually if you call him once a month and tell him your mileage he'll give

2:48:51 There's a lot of this sort of thing going on. But by the way, I want to just mention this is what irks me because Mechanics Bank or bank all of the sudden has jacked up all their fees on everything like crazy. I guess they saw something coming. Yeah? And so it's like a total ripple and now the free ATM isn't free anymore if you use somebody else's used to be everything was free And now it's not. Yeah, if you had like an X amount of money then they would refund the ATM fees? Yeah yeah! They don't do that anymore. I think they're pulling it and now the thing that gets me is that the ATM...I remember when it came into play I think was in the 60s or 70s maybe

2:49:34 probably the 70s, the thing comes up and goes like this. Oh! This will save so much money because we don't have to have as many tellers we can have an ATM machine and that saves us money it saves you money saves everybody money yeah and then all of a sudden we go from saving everybody money to having enough fee to use it. What? It's the American way man. I could walk into a bank and just go to a teller and they don't charge me five bucks to talk to the teller How does it go from free money-saving device to what you have to have a fill, or you have to pay to use it? This is what happens with what you just described. It's like a discount for progressive and then pretty soon it's a fee while you're saving so much money, all the money you're saving, you had to pay now to use this system

2:50:22 It's like with the cable companies, you know they used to oh yeah we're getting broader distribution when it was CCTV remember that? Community television you have a dentality beginning of the cable. Yes! Everything was free and now I had to pay for carriage. Yep So this is...I can go on Well i'd say Bitcoin is the answer. I'm looking at the price of Bitcoin man that crashed. I mean its fantastic Technically it shouldn't have should it? Technically why not Because it's supposed to be this big security blanket. So when the market crashes, you'll have all your money in Bitcoin and be safe Yeah I do It's just not worth as much anymore It is a habit all it's still safe but it said now at $6000 that's down from man we were above 10 just About two weeks ago

2:51:14 Switch to gold. Well, it's actually you know I still got coins. I got Krugerrands Queens It's I find it actually interesting what what Bitcoin is doing? I Don't really know what that I mean so apparently People found that that was not a safe haven and sold it off But maybe we'll see the V recovery there as well I think there's if there's gonna be a V recovery anywhere it would be in Bitcoin That would be a because that's what it does anyway. Yeah, well this would be a pretty significant V if it did this but It's possible. I'm a hodler for the long term and we still have the halvening coming up around May so right now... A lot of this may have had to do with China who were mining most of the coins and then I guess a lot of miners must've shut down Who knows? There are so many stories out there you don't know

CHAPTER 57 / 61 Discussion

Saudi Arabia Crackdown, Sudan Economic Crisis

Reports emerge of a new crackdown on the Saudi royal family by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Meanwhile, Sudan faces a severe economic crisis with citizens waiting in massive queues for fuel and bread, echoing conditions that led to the ousting of Omar al-Bashir.

saudi arabia· mbs· sudan· fuel shortages· bread lines

2:52:18 But we'll see. I don't think they make any money at $6,000 for Bitcoin. It costs more in energy and machines. Well yeah the mining might be a dead idea let's play some international news um i've got a couple stories there's why first of all is a 14 second piss poor update on democracy now about Saudi Arabia we still don't know anything but what's going on there Oh, you mean with the takeover by MBS and the oil prices? Or who knows. In Saudi Arabia reports have emerged of a new crackdown on senior royal members and top officials as Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman appears to be renewing efforts to consolidate power in the kingdom at least four prominent members of the Royal Family have reportedly been detained

2:53:05 So mean what kind of report is that we had that last week? Hello. Oh, geez Amy now This is a good report because this is one of the West Clark sevens We don't talk about much and nobody reports on the mainstream Shall we shall we do the little a little reminder of the the West Clark's own just to quit you could you might as well We haven't done it for awhile so I came back to see him a few weeks later and And by that time we were bombing in Afghanistan. I said, are we still going to war with Iraq? He said oh it's worse than that! He reached over on his desk and picked up a piece of paper and he said I just got this down from upstairs meeting the Secretary of Defense office today This is a memo that describes how we're gonna take out seven countries

2:53:49 in five years starting with Iraq and then Syria, Lebanon Libya Somalia Sudan and finishing off Iran. Alright well we've got Iran we nailed that with our bio weapon So here's the Sudan, they were going instead of bringing troops and they were going at their economy. And we're doing a pretty good job of it this is this is the Sudan report from Al Jazeera. Queues of car stations are common sight in Sudan's capital drivers waiting for hours just to fill up their tanks, to be able to get on with their lives. There is no time for work we dedicate all our time to Qs either for fuel or other things I've been here for hours waiting Sudan is now just a country of people and queues

2:54:37 I've been here since 8 in the morning and now it's 4 in the afternoon. Our lives have been mostly put on hold as we wait to fill our car tanks to be able to go around." Sudan has imported fuel since the oil producer lost 75% of its output when South Sudan became independent nine years ago, Oil was the main source of the country's income The Sudanese pound started to lose value against the dollar. Now, the government is struggling to pay for imports of fuel which it largely subsidizes The impact of fuel shortages can be seen at bus stations like this one in the capital Khartoum. Passengers are facing longer and longer waits for a ride because there are fewer buses passing through, they're stuck at queues at federal stations around the capital Buying bread can also mean a long queue. The currency shortage affects imports of wheat for flour

2:55:28 We suffer coming here from 7 in the morning to 1 in the afternoon or more just to get bread. It's for our kids at home and no government official has bothered to come and see why things are like this. Bread shortages last year sparked protests that eventually led to the ousting of long-time president Omar al-Bashir. Sudan's cash strap transitional administration says it is working to bring hard currency through other sources It's put together an economic crisis management team with the power to put forward new policies. There are other alternatives that the country can go with in terms of policies that can help her provide resources for the people Part of solution we're looking into is to restoring back the amount of money stolen by the former regime as well As getting rid of all the sham security companies they tried up the budget of the country Okay, so what is going on with this? This is very odd They're broke

East Africa Locust Plague, Kosher Crunchy Snacks

A massive locust upsurge threatens East Africa, with swarms in South Sudan, Uganda, and Kenya expected to grow 500-fold if not contained. The insects are destroying crops and livestock feed, though a lighthearted note mentions that some in Israel consider them a "crunchy kosher snack."

locusts· south sudan· uganda· kenya· kosher

2:56:23 Can't get gas. They're spending all their time standing in lines for pretty much everything right and they're the last time this happened They had a regime change when they had we'd pull a stunt like this before and it's happening again Meanwhile South Sudan where all the oil is Is being played, but they're part of the locust swarms ups And so the locusts are like attacking South Sudan in such a massive way that it's just screwing up that country. Uganda is being screwed over, Kenya thick clouds of the insects that you can't get to story. Hold on before we move on to locust I'm still I'm still as Sudan. So apparently a lot of money was coming in

2:57:12 Through Sudan soldiers fighting in Yemen, which is now tapered down a bit apparently So they're there. They're soldiers of fortune don't have any job Yeah And then are we messing with their with their money? We were that way You know as you think of George Clooney and the fact that South Sudan split off into its own country and it was like well That's where all the money in this. Yes go well wasn't to the locust showed up I And that's where the money was for the whole, when it was one big giant country. And now it's just a mess and as part of this risk Clark seven I don't think is a coincidence necessarily.

2:57:52 Tell me about the locust. Is that only in South Sudan or in the north? No, no it's south of Africa Uganda South Sudan There is no report of the locusts in old Sudan It's South Sudan Uganda Kenya and apparently there was a plague of locust taking place Plague by the way is very specific term There's a swarm, there is plague. There is an uptick. There are bunch of different words for how many locust there are but it's gonna be 500x more if they don't do something about pretty soon 500X. What's the breeding cycle of the locust? Well you know this is like supposed to always sort about seven year cycle but they have...this doesn't seem really add-up

2:58:37 In fact, the last time they had a plague or let's see I guess. There is no reporting on this by the way. Zero! Six major locust plagues in the 90s, the last of which was in 87-89 and the 1900s, I'm sorry. The last of which was 87-89 and the last major upsurge, upsurges less than a plague And that was in 2003, 2005. And this is still qualifying as an upsurge but if it gets to 500x it will be a plague and it's like...it causes nothing but trouble. It eats everything, kills animals because they starved to death in the field and they can't breathe. There are certain situations you can't even see through. It's like a fog of bugs

2:59:27 I'm some of the Pakistan also although not really Stein is also being hit for some reason not anywhere near and it's interesting Yeah, that's what I thought was interesting too. So this locust story which is really underplayed It's not played at all. It's like yeah All right. What are the down? locus The animals can't breathe they eat all the crops They eat everything. These grasses, they eat the crops, they eat the food, they eat everything that you can get their hands on. So how do you combat locusts? Well, you're supposed to... Roundup ready? Can we get some roundups? Spray that shit on them! ...kill their food and the people. You catch him apparently in the morning when they're sleeping

3:00:14 They're all on the ground and then you... You gotta be quiet. Yeah, and then you go out and spray them with some toxics but they can't get enough pesticides to do this. And furthermore these are the so-called desert locusts Locusts. And the desert locust are out in the middle of nowhere half the time and you can't find them to spray them, and then all a sudden big cloud emerges with millions of these things, tens of millions perhaps, and they just start munching on everything it's just a nightmare! Are the locust edible? Are they tasty is that can we turn this lemon into lemonade according to some locust apparently are very tasty and very edible well shouldn't we be harvesting

3:00:59 Well, it's like apparently it's not a there's something that part of the story is not being reported either. I don't know if I read about their food that are poisonous or some looks at her edible and you could probably eat them but they're if like they're clogging the roads and there's your sliding down the highway because of the dead locusts And I mean, it's just be its you can't this not the solution as the point But I don't care what the solution if you can eat him, not even how about some news report on this instead of. You know it's Trump, Trump, Trump Corona, Corona, Corona, Trump, Trump, Trump, Corona, Corona, Corona and if you watch them three news shows again just to compare

3:01:41 The whole front end of the news is Corona. They even have a new weather reports on CBS and then there's a couple of slams about Trump and then more corona I mean, it's out of control the apparently Israelis Like locusts because they are the crunchy kosher snack their kosher How does that work? I have no idea how their kosher They are now that's our marketing Well, it seems to me like there's a tremendous opportunity just to Hoover up some of these locusts and sell them You don't really have to hoover. I mean you said put your mouth y'all you do is open your mouth It's free so what are they complaining about? They got free food everywhere This is what we're doing in the West people get with it Sudan figure it out already

Body Size Discrimination Bill, Airline Weight Pricing

Massachusetts lawmakers consider a bill to ban discrimination based on height or weight. The hosts discuss the practical implications for airlines and theme parks, suggesting that charging by weight or size for the space occupied is a logical business practice rather than discrimination.

massachusetts· discrimination· height· weight· airline pricing

3:02:32 Quickie here from, oh yeah this is not international news but just as an entrement. Well it might as well be international news it's from Massachusetts Nuts. Weak state lawmakers and advocates will gather in support of a plan that would ban body size discrimination the bill would make it illegal to discriminate against someone based on height or weight lawmakers and advocates will gather at an event on Tuesday to push the plan which has yet to be voted on by either the House or Senate Now we've gone nuts That is nuts. Can't ban, yeah that's okay fine They should go I've always thought this because i think it's just good policy Airlines to charge ticket prices based on your weight Yeah essentially the way they're doing it now It's not a comfortable flight its freight your freight Uh...I think would be great for Disneyland you have to be this high to ride space mountains excuse me ha ha ha You can't discriminate

3:03:33 Yeah, that's I can see a lawsuit. I think the guy could do is Bloomberg He's probably never got on Space Mountain please see there you go This is exactly the problem you're making fun of somebody's height yeah, I was mm-hmm And I don't even know what Bloomberg's real height is they did spin could be five three? I think he I think he's fine and I don't think he's 5 3 I think it's about five one well You think is that short oh yeah? Yeah, I do Wow, yeah could be petite males. It's not like they're you don't see him did you see them all the time? Yeah, that's why I said you see him all the time Yeah, it's just you know he was a little he's little manic about it. Just okay short guys complex Okay You guys holy who wasn't thinking about five eight Napoleon was 5-8 oh the impression you get is he was much smaller than that

3:04:29 I was reading along about this recently and it's either 5'6 or 5', but he's not like a 5'1. Just to the airplane thing, it's okay if they charge you by weight but then I should be able to pay more for extra size that's really extra size? Yeah, you're going to be paid for weight or size or height You're paying for that space. They have to provide you that much more space, right? Right, right, right Yeah I think that's fine Well right now you're welcome to go take over any airline you want because i hear you can buy them up cheap stocks are stocks are really good now for airlines so I'd say hop in take advantage of that

Harvey Weinstein Sentencing, Accomplice Accountability

Harvey Weinstein is sentenced to 23 years in prison for rape and sexual acts in New York. The discussion explores the lack of remorse shown by Weinstein and calls for the prosecution of "enablers" and "accomplices" in Hollywood who were aware of his behavior but failed to act.

harvey weinstein· sentencing· me too· hollywood· enablers

3:05:12 Yes, now is your last chance. The last little piece I got here was... Before the V recovery that is? I would say we can play at least get this out of the way Harvey Weinstein got 23 years in New York so both of us were wrong yes holy crap We were sure he was gonna pretty much walk Well, you weren't thinking they're gonna throw the book at him. No I think not the 23 years I didn't expect that look like the way they were doing the case that he was going to get off but Apparently this woman who is the prosecutor if you watch court TV enough That woman who is a prosecutor in this jurisdiction Is it like something of a legend?

3:06:01 And she's like really good. So he got, you know they threw the book at him and I guess the judge didn't like him so this is a little report I do have a clip Harvey Weinstein once one of the most powerful men in Hollywood in a Manhattan courtroom today to face sentencing on charges of rape rape and on criminal sexual act in the first degree. Let's go immediately to the courthouse where Stephanie Goss is standing by, she has been covering this trial throughout. The big question today was how stiff would this sentence be? And there was a powerful message sent by the judge today, Stephanie. Chris, there certainly was! This is a very severe sentence thrown at Harvey Weinstein

3:06:44 facing 20 years in prison for the first-degree sexual acts charge and another three years in prison for the third degree rape. They are to be served consecutively, which is also a surprise here often these charges come and these sentences come concurrently currently Maybe his first conviction, but it is not Harvey Weinstein's first offense We also actually heard from Harvey Weinstein who stood up and showed very little remorse in the comments that he made He did say he had remorse for the women who accused him of these crimes But he went on to say that he was the first in the me too movement and then he fears. It led to thousands

3:07:41 Thousands of men, in his words not getting due process. Saying that he basically making the leap that he did no get due process himself in this situation The judge showing no mercy here This is a tough sentence more than many people had predicted Chris Yeah and it's hard to even analyze what Harvey Weinstein is saying in public Because I think he does have some points about process and how this trial went. Not the sentencing, but...I don't know what's your view? Well it looks like they're out to get Harvey Weinstein and they're not going to

3:08:30 put this sentence into effect until after his trial in Los Angeles and he had another minor heart attack right after this that wasn't reported in this report, and ended up in the hospital again. I mean if I wanted to go with second half of show thinking? I would almost think that Harvey is setting himself up for their removal from the hospital dead, and then ending up on some island someplace. Kind of you know, like we expect the guy from MCI and Enron. There's a number of these cases that mysterious death They wind up in Argentina well or someplace I mean is no they never get caught they I mean why isn't he in 67 so that the 23 year old Prison sentence would take him to 90 So he's oh yeah But just the he had the money He has the money to pull off some stunt like that Yeah

3:09:29 Well, I'm not even second show of half stuff. It's just a second half of show stuff. The guy is an incredible douchebag but all this is based on testimony right? Yeah. I mean it's just testimony So it's you know where, proof? Hard proof. I mean it just...I'm not saying that he is wrongly convicted or sentenced It's just he's saying well this is going to be interesting for men and yeah! I think he's right about that Well Men who get arrested Well yeah douchebags total douchebags There are a lot of them

3:10:22 Yeah, and the stories keep coming up of different kinds of douchebags showing up here and there. I mean could this same be applied to some of the other cases? There are other cases out there... I think this guy was the most egregious. It was like an open secret, which is kind of bothersome it's like if it's such an open secret for such a long time where Seth MacFarlane is doing material on one of the award shows, I think The Academy Awards... Let me put it this way. If he's convicted all these things I think that there should be conviction of accomplices who enabled and you know, you're an accomplice if you sent someone up to the room. I think there's multiple cases of that. Yeah, and that's a lot of women by the way! Yeah? I think you're an accomplice if you were aware of this behavior

3:11:16 Near him or let's say in the same hotel or party or restaurant, whatever and you knew this was happening It didn't report it didn't do anything. Let's go all the way let's not just throw the book at this guy let's get to the enablers and the enhancers and Also the private detectives and all that people that work Yeah Chance of it actually happening? Zero. Yeah, somebody should make a fuss about it. Because he didn't do this by himself! Nope. Accomplices should be held to account and that is it for our show we went long today but then again we're under quarantine so you might as well make the best of it. Bored stiff. And we'll do it again on Sunday if you will all join us please
