About this episode

President Donald Trump is championing Hydroxychloroquine and Chloroquine as immediate medical solutions for COVID-19 under Right to Try legislation. While Dr. William Grace highlights a Marseilles clinical trial showing a 100% recovery rate when combined with Azithromycin, Dr. Anthony Fauci maintains that current evidence remains anecdotal and lacks the validation of controlled clinical trials. This friction between executive optimism and medical rigor defines the current federal response as U.S. infections surpass 15,000.

Global supply chains are fracturing as medical mask shortages reveal a dangerous reliance on Chinese manufacturing, prompting U.S. construction firms to donate N95 stockpiles to hospitals. In the tech sector, Mark Zuckerberg’s interview with Dr. Fauci was plagued by technical glitches during mentions of Wuhan, while Google Drive reportedly began blocking private documents containing Chloroquine research. Simultaneously, Singapore has deployed the TraceTogether Bluetooth app for contact tracing, and South Korea’s wired healthcare system has processed over 250,000 tests to maintain a low fatality rate. Domestically, Senators Richard Burr and Kelly Loeffler face insider trading allegations following significant stock sales after private January briefings.

Governor Andrew Cuomo and his brother Chris Cuomo engaged in a tense sibling rivalry over family curfews during a live CNN broadcast. In Baltimore, Mayor Jack Young issued a desperate plea for citizens to stop shooting each other to preserve hospital beds for the elderly. Meanwhile, the 2011 film Contagion is resurfacing as a form of predictive programming, given that Dr. Anthony Fauci and Ian Lipkin served as technical consultants on the script.

Coronavirus Symptoms, Puking and Conjunctivitis Claims

A report from a Chinese National news source suggests that the Wuhan version of the coronavirus includes conjunctivitis as a symptom. Additionally, a personal anecdote describes a patient testing positive for COVID-19 who experienced severe vomiting and fever, symptoms not typically emphasized in mainstream medical briefings.

00:00 Nightmare! Cutting through red tape and broadcasting live from Opportunity Zone 33 here in the frontier of Austin, Texas. Capital of the drone star state In The Morning everybody! I'm Adam Curry And from Northern Silicon Valley where there's virtually nobody on the freeways next week at this time they'll be blood. I'm John C. Dvorak It's Crackpot & Buzzkill In The Morning

00:37 For those of you who tuned in to feel calm and serene, that opening I'm sure helped a lot. Blood in the streets! Stop it stop it yes we'll check-in first how's everyone there? Everyone okay? Yeah was fine yeah Okay, well stir crazy. I wouldn't say they're stir crazy Not yet but by this time next week for sure my niece has a coronavirus Which niece is this? Well it's... so my cousin's daughter is that a niece

01:15 I dipped up you're asking the wrong guy. Yeah, is this the one that told you? You don't have high enough security level No, but she could be one of those but no she's not That was pretty actually it was pretty harsh a couple days She was very sick yeah But she's at home now so it looks like she's gonna be okay does she go to hospital oh yeah Oh, yes, no she wasn't in the hospital then yeah they had to take her to hospital and She she was puking and fever and just not good Pukin yeah, that's a new one I that was not a part of the set as far as I wasn't part of this set And every time somebody brings something up you know but it's part of the sad or somebody ad-libs like Trump Yeah said something so did PBS is all over him Now I found something that I picked up from

02:07 Chinese National you know Chinese Communist Party news they were describing the symptoms and they included at least with the Wuhan version that they had conjunctivitis Isn't that? Something with your eyes. Yeah, huh? That's interesting I've only heard it once and only heard on the Chinese network well when has ever mentioned conjunctivitis anywhere And I never heard the puking part when you That could have been part of fever, it could have been anything. I don't know but she's tested and she's tested positive. We do seem to have a possible off-ramp though in this whole thing and there is a lot of weird stuff going on around it which brings into question some of the team members that we see on stage although couple team members appeared to be dropped as I was watching over the weekend no sooner had we talked on Thursday about

CHAPTER 02 / 55 Discussion

Governor Andrew Cuomo, Chris Cuomo CNN Interview Dynamics

Governor Andrew Cuomo is receiving praise for his data-driven daily briefings, which some contrast favorably against President Trump's performance. A recent CNN interview between the Governor and his brother, Chris Cuomo, featured a tense exchange regarding family curfews and sibling rivalry, raising questions about professional boundaries in media.

andrew cuomo· chris cuomo· cnn· new york· presidential briefings

03:07 The chloroquine which had apparently gone through some small trial in France no sooner had we talked about it than the president came out and pitched it. And this started off a very unique set of events, which I don't think has been picked up very well by the M5M. Gee! I wonder why? Well depends... No, It was picked up. Well let me give you the whole piece of what was picked up or not because It started off, and I think this was the right way to roll it out. And let me back up... The president is at a D-grade level for his briefings They're no good He's not good at this and he just looks cavalier, he gets into little pissy fights

03:54 Of course, whenever someone lashes out at him about being racist or whatever then or not fast enough then he immediately goes back to I shut down. It's just it's not helpful and no one cares He's now doing a good job at all in fact Cuomo Who was doing kind of the pre-show? To Trump's Briefings for the past three days people love him He's sitting at a desk, and he's got a PowerPoint and he's going through things. And he's got his kind of his emergency Outfit on it makes it makes him look very dare I say presidential

04:37 There's even some noise now that Biden and Bernie are a little worried about how well he is doing. That he could just jump in and save everything, wouldn't that be crazy? You're talking about Governor Cuomo?! Yes! Yeah... yeah He stinks People like him I'm not saying I like him people like him Before we go on then why don't we at least get this out of the way Okay Which is the Cuomo versus Cuomo CNN spat. This is well worth it! Curfew, I don't like the word curfew... Maybe we should just set up for people who know Governor Cuomo's- Is this his brother? Yes, his brother. His younger brother. Yeah his brother is Chris Cuomo from CNN and also known as the Cuomo Kid Curfew? I don't like the word curfew Dad tried to have a curfew for me...I never got past the resentment but uh i do believe you'll see more tightening if your numbers don't slow Your problem's with the curfew It's at least your problems

05:34 Just so you know. I never thought you violated the curfew all the time caused much pain, but that's a different story. I don't believe in rules Governor Andrew Cuomo. I appreciate you coming on this show. I love you. I'm proud of what you're doing. I know you're working hard for your state But no matter how hard you're working there's always time to call mom She wants to hear from you, just so you know. Yeah I called mom...I called mom just before she came on this show by the way she said i was her favorite. Good news is she said you were her second favorite son. We both know neither of us are moms first or second favorite in the family.

06:13 credibility the entire interview I should have ended it before second favorite son listen to the words listen to politicians are very tricky throw a word in there after the first time you said it creates a lot of doubt but I appreciate your clarifying me straight across the plate stay strong across the plate stay strong stay for your people and I appreciate you being here I love you brother YouTube Oh Lord II what a jackass yes put these that all about I have no idea the whole thing is out of context It doesn't make a lot of sense and these two guys either hate each other What would he have him on the show for? I think Chris was resentful that he brought up did somebody booked him. I don't know like it Okay, was irked about something and by the way to get a ISO out of it though Okay, hold on a second oh, I see you'd already yes will give it a shot here. I don't believe in rules

07:05 Yeah, possibility. Possibility I may have something later on for us to counter that we'll check it out So the president wants to pitch something. He comes out and he first, I think does what would be appropriate although he man is so bad it's just not getting the message out as a lot of humina-humina-humina but he sets it up by revisiting his right to try legislation yes it was legislation passed by both the House and Senate And that's the precursor to what he is going to pitch.

CHAPTER 03 / 55 Discussion

Donald Trump, Right to Try Legislation and Chloroquine

President Donald Trump is promoting Chloroquine and Hydroxychloroquine as potential "game changers" in the fight against COVID-19. He cites the Right to Try legislation as a framework for making these long-established malaria and arthritis drugs available for immediate prescription use against the virus.

donald trump· chloroquine· fda· right to try· hydroxychloroquine

08:00 Even think about getting any of the drugs that may be showing great promise now And they've been trying for many decades to get this approved and it sounds simple But it's not because there's liability involved and lots of other things Then I was able to get it approve working with Congress right to try This is beyond right to try what we're talking about today is beyond right to try Right to try and that would be trying something off prescriptions, is that what it's called? I want to say... Well you're thinking of off-label. Off label! That's legal But what Right to Try implies is that off-label prescribing is legal and it's done all the time, and the doctors do it. And the pharmaceutical companies like them... Love it! ...like it that way because then they can repatent. They love it except if it's out of patent and they don't own it. They don't love it then. I think we're going to see that popping up this is about the chloroquine

09:01 which is an anti-malaria drug and I have another doctor who's going to explain exactly what it does but here's Trump pitching it. But this is beyond right to try if treatments known to be safe in Europe, Japan or other nations are effective against the virus we'll use that information to protect the health and safety of American people nothing will stand in our way as we pursue any avenue defined what best works against this horrible virus now a drug called Chloroquine and some people would add to it hydroxy, hydroxyl chloroquine. So chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine now this is a common malaria drug It's also a drug used for strong arthritis Somebody has pretty serious arthritis Also uses this in a somewhat different form

09:59 It is known as a malaria drug and it's been around for a long time. And it's very powerful, and it shown very encouraging — very, very encouraging early results. And we're going to be able to make that drug available almost immediately." And that's where the FDA has been so great. They've gone through the approval process. It's been approved And they did it, they took it down from many many months to immediate. So we're going to be able to make that drug available by prescription or states I spoke with Governor Cuomo about at great length last night and he wants to be right on the... He wants to be first on line Let's just understand exactly what this drug does Dr William Grace is one of the

CHAPTER 04 / 55 Discussion

Dr. William Grace, Cytokine Storms and Marseilles Trial Data

Oncologist Dr. William Grace explains that COVID-19 deaths often result from a "cytokine storm" where a mature immune system overreacts and destroys healthy lung tissue. He highlights a clinical trial in Marseilles, France, where a combination of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin reportedly rendered 100% of patients virus-free within five days.

william grace· cytokine storm· marseilles· hydroxychloroquine· azithromycin

10:53 He's an oncologist, but he is at one of the hospitals in New York that are filling up. I forget which one it was for a moment and he'll explain in this interview how first how the virus attacks the immune system and there's some kind of relatively new information about what is actually happening why older people have issues not necessarily because you're old and decrepit but because of how your immune system is mature, and that is actually what creates a response from which you can die. One of the things you have to realize here is there's a paradox in that the immune systems of people who are very young are very immature. That's why they get vaccinations. And as you get older, you get exposed to more and more external threats

11:46 And so your immune system matures even though your body ages and maybe becomes weaker, but your immune system is not weaker. Thereby many of the people who are dying from COVID-19 pneumonitis are dying from what we call in medicine a cytokine storm where the immune system basically goes crazy in fighting the virus and kills off a lot of healthy lung tissue So that's a little different than what we've heard so far, but it makes total sense. And there is a way to combat this and that's possibly with chloroquine? And so the way in which hydroxychloroquine works is not only in some of its more well-documented prevention of

12:34 the prevention of replication of the virus, but also it is an immunosuppressive agent. That's why it's used in rheumatoid arthritis and lupus and other inflammatory states to cool down the immune system so its felt that probably works in two ways. Two as a checkpoint against the cytokine storm and two as its ability to inhibit replication of the virus And despite what we've been hearing and reading, there have been several tests done. Not the type that the FDA would typically want but with success and the doctor has some numbers to back it up. Yes you'll see that articles in China there was a randomized 100 person trial. There was a trial in Japan and South Korea and of course the most recent and most exciting

13:27 data coming out of Marseilles, France where the combination of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin managed to get 100% of the patients disease-free. I mean literally virus free in five days and this significance again this data was weighted against the success of the treated group. There were more men in that treated group who do worse, there were more older people in the treated group and the older people do worse and there were more people in the treated group with pneumonia in their lungs. And in spite

14:08 the people who got the combination therapy did remarkably well, so well that the significance is that there was less than one chance in 10,000. That the data was there by chance alone and as you know in medicine today we use one chance in 20 for statistical significance but chances of less than one chance in 10,000 is an extraordinary outcome. That's why these doctors published this work because they thought it was morally imperative to save lives. you know, in a perfect world you would have a nice randomized trial and everybody would digest it after four or five or six months when it would eventually appear on the New England Journal of Medicine. But they wanted this out there now because they thought it would save lives and my experience is that in New York it is going to save lives and the combination may save many more lives. So sounds like a cool off-ramp that we could take and the president in his typical fashion went out

CHAPTER 05 / 55 Discussion

Dr. Anthony Fauci, Anecdotal Evidence vs. Clinical Trials

Dr. Anthony Fauci clarifies that current evidence for hydroxychloroquine is anecdotal and lacks the validation of controlled clinical trials. While the FDA is looking into expanded access, Fauci emphasizes the need for rigorous protocols to determine safety and efficacy before making definitive medical statements.

anthony fauci· fda· clinical trials· prophylaxis· anecdotal evidence

15:10 said the following with his usual caveats. So those are two that are out now, essentially approved for prescribed use and I think it's going to be very exciting. I think it could be a game changer and maybe not. And maybe not! Maybe not but I think it could be based on what I see it could be a game changer. Very powerful they're very powerful so I want every American to know that we're doing everything we can These actions are important next steps. I mean for the FDA to Act the way they acted with this kind of speed is an incredible thing Normally, they'd say well we can have it by next year Now here's where it got interesting so Trump does all this the FDA guy standing behind him He's looking a bit like the CDC guy You know now that CDC has effectively been taken out of the equation because they screwed it up so bad

16:02 The FDA guy's behind him, he's like yeah... He's kind of looking like that but then Fauci takes the stage. Dr. Fauci this was explained yesterday there has been some promise with hydroxychloroquine as potential therapy for people who are infected with coronavirus is there any evidence to suggest that as with malaria might be used as a prophylaxis against COVID-19? The answer is no and the evidence that you're talking about John, is anecdotal evidence. So as the Commissioner of FDA and the President mentioned yesterday we're trying to strike a balance between making something with a potential of an effect

16:39 to the American people available at the same time that we do it under the auspices of a protocol that would give us information to determine if its truly safe and truly effective. But, the information you're referring to specifically is anecdotal It was not done in a controlled clinical trial so you really can't make any definitive statement about it So Dr Fauci clearly has looked at different data than the doctor at the hospital in New York and he's kind of poo-pooing it Well...well....lets stop for a second Fauci brought this up, but this was a rigged question and specifically had nothing to do with what the guy in New York had to say. Because the questionnaire said is it useful as a prophylaxis?

17:26 Which is not a medicine for treatment. He specifically asked him if it was a prophylaxis and Fauci said no, and that's what all the... If you listen to any of these clips from the mainstream media they play the Trump thing like you did then they skipped the question and they just play Fauci saying No! It's no good! And that's my point. The question is rigged as bullshit But that's my point My point is what people are seeing is his answer. I'll make it a little more clear, but I will point out that he said that he specifically said now the studies they're anecdotal which I think can be disputed we'd like to do big trials...I'm just listening to what he says then he did around of media

18:13 And he went on Fox to walk some of it back. Is that an accurate reading on your answer for that indication? You know, I'm not dismissing it at all and I hope that interpretation wasn't widespread. What I said is that we don't have definitive proof that it works so what we need to do since there are suggestions anecdotally that it works try to get it available but to do it in the context

18:52 of a protocol where we accomplish two things. We make something that's maybe hope and promising for someone, at the same time we determine whether or not it is safe and whether or not it actually does work. I wasn't dismissing it, I was saying we need to be careful So he wants to be careful, wants to slow it down, wants to take their time and it wasn't until I saw him being interviewed by the most important man in the universe that I realized that he may have a second agenda because this is not the only compound that is being tested and getting ready for treatment. Fauci's probably got a patent on something else! Who do you think interviewed him?

CHAPTER 06 / 55 Discussion

Mark Zuckerberg, Dr. Fauci Facebook Interview Technical Glitches

Mark Zuckerberg interviewed Dr. Anthony Fauci via Facebook, an event marred by technical issues with Zuckerberg's interruptible feedback (IFB) earpiece. During the segment, an audio glitch occurred exactly as Fauci mentioned the virus's origin in Wuhan, leading to speculation about real-time editorial prompting.

mark zuckerberg· anthony fauci· facebook· ifb· wuhan

19:37 Who of all the world's celebrities, the most important man? The man we all should look to as our hero or savior. We really need to hear from him! Don Lemon? Close... Mark Zuckerberg. Because of course Mark Zuckerberg has to interview everybody from his bunker What is Mark Zuckerberg doing interviewing anybody?! Well I'll tell you one thing What is because we don't have video he's gonna start off and he has problems with his IFB And so he's while Fowchee is speaking Zuckerberg has taken this thing out of his ear. Fowchee still has the an IFB as Interfold what it was like a stand for again? Oh, I can't even remember Intercom fold back now intercom fallback So the control room can talk to you

20:23 And the control room and we see this happening that you know instead of talking to the host they talk to the guest and things go wrong Look what happens at the beginning of this interview everyone, and thanks for joining. I'm here today with Dr.. Anthony Fauci who is the director of the National Institute for allergies and infectious disease? and as the nation's top infectious disease expert who's involved in leading our response to against the coronavirus. So, Dr Fauci thank you so much for joining today and I was hoping that we could just get started maybe you could tell us about where we are with the situation overall? Where are we with the spread of this and in the overall government response

21:07 Well, we are certainly still in the escalation phase of this outbreak Mark. As you know globally different countries are at different phases of the outbreak China got hit very early on which was the origin of where the virus first came out in Wuhan. What's it? Are we okay yeah Okay, so I just wanted to tell you what happened there So by the way it's interruptible feedback is what IFB stands for he mentions China Origin in China and immediately someone's yelling in the wrong IFB namely his It's the timing is uncanny got hit very early on which was the origin of where? The virus first came out in Wuhan. Yeah What's we okay yeah

21:59 I'm telling you someone was saying, get him off of China. Tell them not to talk about China! China! China! I'm sure Facebook has some agenda which is why i watch this dumb interview Wait a minute let's back up a minute where was this interview played on facebook? Yes, and I got a copy. And they were using IFBs instead of cans or what people normally do in the podcast? No it was pro! It was pro IFBs yeah and he was at some office maybe his home office... So so they had to show that you just look people should know this what Adam's describing here these things are only used in professional environments where you have

22:38 You're usually a lavalier mic and you have this thing in your ear which is curiously, a sound audio device that doesn't have any electronics in it except for the back. It's got a little speaker with a tube of sound literally. And it goes into the, and I think the reasons for that are varied. But that's what they do. And its used so the control room can punch a button and talk right to you individually, you or Zuckerberg or Fauci whoever who has got these things plugged in and they will tell you stuff as your talking and really good people who are very talented with IFB in there can actually tell an entire story

23:26 from scratch, from somebody talking in their ear. Yes. I've seen it happen and think that I can almost do it but its very uncanny to watch so what the situation is here because it was set up for pros but this is not a real pro environment somebody probably pushed the wrong button. And so Mark first had to get rid of it Because it was, I guess something was squawking in his ear and then the minute Fauci says the origin in China boom someone's on the internet. And I see this happen a lot these hitting-the-wrong buttons because...and its writing is relatively new that they're really pushing guests and prompting them? I'm just seeing it more and more certainly on Fox News. You mean in this arena because not new in broadcasting No! I'm seeing more of the guest being prompted more, more of it

24:24 Oh, in all media? Yeah. Fox in particular...in particular but then Zuckerberg of course spoke to many scientists because you know he and Elon Musk and Tim Cook they're all going to save the world because yeah they're all meeting and doing important things Curiously they are not hams! I'm not so sure Zuckerberg might be a ham And that's where Fauci, of course with his guard down because what the hell is this? It's on Facebook. I think he lets the cat out of the bag Remember we're talking about him purposely slowing down the approval of Cloroxin

CHAPTER 07 / 55 Discussion

Remdesivir Trials, Gilead Sciences and Chloroquine Side Effects

Dr. Fauci expresses optimism for Remdesivir, an antiviral drug developed by Gilead Sciences originally tested for Ebola. While Chloroquine is discussed as a cheaper alternative, concerns remain regarding its potential for liver damage, depression, and vivid dreams, necessitating frequent blood tests for patients.

remdesivir· gilead sciences· ebola· liver damage· side effects

25:03 Although I think the president has pretty much just buffaloed his way through and there are already a lot of doses on the way to New York, and he and Cuomo have a deal. I think that he's going to try it so here is Fauci. I'm talking to a lot of scientists now who basically all have hypotheses of compounds or things that they'd love to get tested What would you like to see happen there? To prioritize which ones are the most optimistic And what do you think about that strategy overall Well, it's a great question because it is exactly happening and I like the strategy. So there are number of already approved drugs or drugs that have been developed but almost approved not quite approved that are now being looked at because of initial either in vitro or animal data work

25:49 suggesting that they may be helpful. I'll give you some examples, there's a drug called Remdesivir which is a drug that was developed by Gilead as an antiviral we tried it in Ebola it didn't work as well as some of the other drugs but its there what were going to do now with their clinical trials going on right now both in China and in the United States to see if it works. It's likely that one or more of these drugs, and there are several, are going to be out there to see an already developed drug, if they can work. Another one is interesting... There's a lot of buzz on the internet about this. Oh mind you John! It's not something the president suggested. There's a lot of buzz on the internet

26:37 if it can work. Another one is interesting, there's a lot of buzz on the internet about this and that is a drug called chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine which is the drug that has been approved for decades very cheap. Yeah, used in malaria and used in certain autoimmune diseases like lupus There's some indication in the test tube that it might have some activity. The FDA said today that they are going to see if we can do some expanded use access, getting people who might want to use it off label namely since this is an approved drug. So your point is extremely well taken

27:18 I don't know man, that sounds like a PharmaShield douchebag to me. Besides that the chloroquine is what he was saying doesn't work and it's just anecdotal! Oh yeah now its in the test tube and its big on the internet. Now its promising and theres a buzz! And theres a buzz on the internet dude hes already in trials with remdesivir And he should know because his very own, where he comes from National Institute of Health did a study in 2005 with coronavirus on primates with incredibly high success rate. Now I don't know if they if he's gone back and looked at his own research but it's there but no this is just a test tube buzz on the internet. This clip by the way where he said he mentions chloroquine as if you never heard of it after blasting it is ludicrous

28:14 And by the way, this is the stuff that JC took. We mentioned this before to get rid of his coronavirus which he believed he had a case of and he looked into it and found chloroquine. He says the downside to chloroquine which is never mentioned by these people and I believe was one of the reasons why Fauci was not saying anything positive about in the earlier press conferences is that you have to have a lot of blood tests to make sure it's not damaging your liver And so you got your, right there you got your liability. Oh my God what we're gonna do? Let's not... Well there is also and I've received so many emails from people thank-you producers everywhere give me all kinds of and we have producers in interesting places which will find out later it also apparently can has side effects of really weird dreams could cause some depression and its not without side effects obviously

CHAPTER 08 / 55 Discussion

State Lockdowns, Tax Deadline Extension and Border Closures

Governors in California, Illinois, and New York have issued stay-at-home orders as U.S. infections surpass 15,000. President Trump announced the extension of the federal tax filing deadline to July 15 and reached an agreement with Mexico to close the southern border to non-essential travel.

gavin newsom· andrew cuomo· defense production act· tax deadline· mexico border

29:08 But it may that brings me to the clip. I want to play because they're now brings it into in a greater focus Okay, which is the report the updated the the kovid PBS? This is the kovid report update number one got two It's a 2-parter this is PBS going through and giving us update briefing on what's going on and how everybody is full of crap, and Trump is a bad guy. More of the country is closing down tonight trying to contain the coronavirus pandemic New York State in Illinois have now joined California in taking that step with more states expected to follow Meanwhile President Trump invoked emergency powers to move medical supplies into place as quickly as possible

29:52 as U.S. infections topped 15,000 with more than 200 deaths. William Brangham begins our coverage. In much of California stay-at-home orders have already brought much of public life to a halt and today those orders expanded statewide Governor Gavin Newsom asked the entire state, 40 million people to stay home. He cited an analysis that half the state could be infected in the next eight weeks if more aggressive moves weren't taken so he ordered that nothing but the most essential activities continue We will have social pressure and I'll encourage people to do the right thing just a nod look saying hey maybe you should reconsider just being out there on the beach

30:38 being 22 strong at a park, it's time for all of us to recognize as individuals and as a community we need to do more to meet this moment. It is unclear how the new orders will be enforced but it's one of the most drastic containment efforts underway Across the country, another huge effort. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo ordered every employer in his state to keep their workers at home. 100% of the workforce must stay home these are non-essential services Essential services have to continue to function. Grocery stores need food, pharmacies need drugs Your internet has to continue to work The water has to turn on when you turn the faucet So there are essential services that will continue to function

31:35 That was the end of that? It was the end of it, yes. I'm sorry. I don't remember cutting it though. I was waiting for more or I may have lost my connection the internet continues to work Well anyway So that's kind of the lead in and so now we go into like the detailing some of the issues going on And do we include the Fauci denying the chloroquine thing and we also have Trump being condemned condemned for his description of the disease itself. And Illinois' governor issued a shelter-in-place order effective tomorrow. These states have seen a surge in COVID-19 cases, and they along with Washington state are the hardest hit in the country their hospital systems are already being stressed and critical protective supplies are running low

32:20 The White House offered some forms of relief today. President Trump said he had invoked the Defense Production Act and directed certain companies to change their focus and produce supplies needed for the coronavirus fight, and the president also announced an extension to the April 15 tax filing deadline. We're moving it all the way out to July 15th no interest, no penalties your new date will be July 15 In a move to stem the spread of the virus across countries, he announced the U.S. and Mexico had agreed to close down the southern border to non-essential travel. But in what turned into a testy contentious press conference, the president also said several things that are factually wrong. For example, he cited the wrong symptoms for COVID 19. They're sneezing this sniffling they don't feel good they have a temperature there are a lot of different things actual symptoms our fever

33:12 but also dry cough and trouble breathing. Sneezing and sniffling are not. Did you put that in? He implied that an unproven anti-malaria drug could prevent infection. There's zero proof of that one of his top health officials, dr Anthony Fauci had to correct the record moments later The answer is no Wow. And contrary to all public health guidance, the president implied the U.S didn't need additional testing for the virus. You're hearing very positive things about testing and it's able to test millions of people but we inherited a broken old frankly terrible system We fixed it and we've done a great job

Medical Mask Shortages, China Supply Chain and Construction Stockpiles

The shortage of medical masks in the U.S. is attributed to a reliance on Chinese manufacturing, with reports that China withheld supplies during the initial outbreak. U.S. construction companies are being granted liability waivers to donate their stockpiles of N95 masks to hospitals as manufacturers retool to produce ventilators.

n95 masks· china· defense production act· ventilators· liability waiver

34:08 I very appreciate your 1930s throwback sound effects. It really does spruce it up a little bit. Before we continue, because I think we can go down this path for a bit... I've done a lot of research into the two questions that keep getting asked over and over again. And there's a disconnect with, I think the American public at large? Somehow people in America believe that the federal government is your mom and dad and has everything under control and can just do anything you need because we're America—we can get for ya!

34:45 And it starts with the masks question. I've yet to find a single report where someone honestly says, masks were no longer produced in the United States! They were produced in China. China withheld masks and gowns from shipping to the United States No one reports on that honestly and fairly. We have companies in the United States who make or at least stockpile construction masks, and that's right in the president's backyard so he called up his builder buddies and said hey I'm gonna get you a liability waiver for these so you can hand them over to the hospitals...that's happening

35:29 There's now manufacturing without having to invoke the Defense Production Act, which everyone is pushing for. Come on! Come on! Because you know that the war machine just wants... We can force people to do stuff and meanwhile the companies are gladly doing it they're doing everything they can. They're donating masks that people are changing their tooling so they can create ventilators or jerry-rig them So there's a lot of interesting things going on But, you know the government is trying to connect the states and the hospitals where they can get the masks. You don't want the government in between so they'll match it and say here we can get you this but talk to them directly buy it and get it in And this has been presented as Trump orange man bad he screwed it up completely Then let's talk about that which is the testing

CHAPTER 10 / 55 Discussion

Joy Reid, MSNBC Healthcare Disparity Claims

MSNBC host Joy Reid suggested that Trump supporters are at higher risk during the pandemic because they often live in states that did not expand the Affordable Care Act or Medicaid. Critics argue this narrative politicizes the crisis by implying a lack of healthcare access in specific geographic regions.

joy reid· msnbc· affordable care act· medicaid· trump voters

36:24 And the testing truly went wrong with the CDC. At this point I almost want to think that they did it on purpose and so we lost some time But now, when you get down to how this is being spun we have yet a new piece to this which is just a head shaker and almost for me confirms that the elites know were on the tail end of this. We're going to come out okay because when you can politicize to the angle and degree that Joy Reid does on MSNBC with I think another blatant lie in there I mean, then you either have no scruples and you don't give a crap or you know that we're getting towards the end. The fact that we also have an outbreak where the President of United States did not take seriously his own intelligence community saying this is going to be bad... Again! The intelligence community

37:15 No names, no agency names. No the intelligence community the same ones what did we just have recently? Oh yes that Russia was already hacking our election turned out to be kind of exaggerated now apparently these Intel agencies are back and they've got news seriously his own intelligence committee saying know this is going to be bad members at the intel community in the Senate if Intel Committee in the Senate knew it was gonna be bad only told rich donors didn't tell everyone else Meanwhile, only told rich donors. Can you believe this shit? Is I mean this is insane donors didn't tell everyone else meanwhile the president is downplaying something that his media his affinity media You know picks up his line that it's nothing that it's

37:58 A hoax. Now, these are the same people who tend to be older... He never said that! No of course he never said that but that's now where the narrative is set and cast and it's in stone forever. He said the whole thing was a hoax no he didn't but okay this is not what it is. A hoax. Now these are the same people who tend to be older and you tend to live in states that don't have health care Washington Post reports one in eight Trump voters lives in a county with no... Wait hold on stop What state? Name me the state that has no health care. What are they talking about, there's no doctors or hospitals? Just listen it's only 30 more seconds you'll wet yourself listening to what she is saying here. There is no healthcare! These are the same people who tend to be older and who tend to live in states that don't have healthcare Washington Post reports 1 in 8 Trump voters lives in a county with no ICU beds

38:52 Many Trump voters live in states that refuse to expand the Affordable Care Act. So people without a lot of money don't have any health insurance How lopsided could we wind up seeing this outbreak become, Dr. Jha? Because Donald Trump's own followers are now behind the curve And Joy, to your point. I mean there is no doubt about it that we're going to have a lot of states that have not invested in Medicaid That have not invested in making sure everybody's covered That are gonna have real problems This is gonna be a national challenge that we're all gonna have to work on I'm just shaking my head You don't care about people Joy Reid Whatever you're doing here Is not sincere It's political! It's political and you're saying Oh yeah well Trump basically Why don't you say Trump people? They're gonna die

CHAPTER 11 / 55 Discussion

Republicans for the Rule of Law, Anti-Trump Timeline Ad

A group called Republicans for the Rule of Law released a 60-second television advertisement featuring a timeline of President Trump's statements regarding the pandemic. The ad contrasts his early claims that the virus would "disappear like a miracle" with the rising number of confirmed cases.

republicans for the rule of law· political ads· pandemic· trump rallies

39:38 I'm just gonna die because they're dumb that tend to be older. I'm not sure what that is Do you tend to be older or was that just on Thursdays? Yeah, it's like come on and then of course we have a group of never Trumpers What's the name of this group? It's Republicans for the Rule of Law and they have a timeline ad which is on the internet. I've not seen it on television yet but apparently it's an ad for television, it is a 60 second. And its a timeline where you see on the screen all these different clips of Trump and when

40:16 That's the counter of cases going up and the dates changing and he's lying any day. He's no good The words about a pandemic at this well, we're not at all how concerned are you? Well, we pretty much shut it down. A lot of people think that goes away in April. We have contained this I won't say airtight but pretty close to airtight. It's going to be down too close to zero. It's going to disappear like a miracle it will disappear. They can have vaccines relatively soon. What can you say to Americans who are concerned that you're not taking this seriously enough? The president say, for example he's going to continue with political rallies. Is this sending the right message? Going to a rally there is no reason that you shouldn't go It's really working out. Can the President stop shaking hands In our line of work...you shake hands No I don't take responsibility at all but it is something we have tremendous control over How would you rate your response to this crisis? I'd rate it 10 This is a pandemic and I felt like it was a pandemic long before it was called a pandemic

41:19 So, you know Trump may have made massive mistakes. He may have done genius work I don't know...I don't want to hear it from him and I don't want to hear it from the media until we have a handle on this This is counterproductive and I'm gonna remember these people The Republic rule of law Republicans with F U That's unbelievable! so either they really know that this is almost over or they're just not human beings It's pretty bad So they're condemning him for shaking hands. That's a good one, there is this seems to be to me a very strong... This is a worldwide phenomenon this isn't just here we're getting this kind of weirdness you have the toilet paper phenomenon and you have that shut down everything shuttered and it's almost like I'm test run to see if we had a one world government could

CHAPTER 12 / 55 Discussion

South Korea, COVID-19 Testing Strategy and Transparency

South Korea's low fatality rate is attributed to a highly wired healthcare system and the rapid development of testing reagents following the release of the virus's genetic sequence in January. The country has processed over 250,000 tests, focusing on early detection and transparency to maintain public trust.

south korea· fatality rate· genetic sequence· pharmaceutical companies· reagents

42:16 Pull together in the same way by one edict. Is that possible? I wonder well, let's find out Well this it i'd love to get to those theories in a moment just as two Few more things. I think it kind of starts with South Korea South Korea is the shining light the beacon of how to do it right and Their death rate is extremely low now that they've tested quite a lot. That's how the death rate works, or morbidity rate I caught an interview with the South Korean foreign minister, very charming lady

42:53 And I have three clips that pertain to what we're talking about here, starting off with their strategy. We have a very good health care system to begin with. We have a system that is highly wired as you can imagine and fully utilizing that we have dealt with this outbreak from the very beginning with just full Transparency and that's the way we've won the public trust and support for this. And as you say, we are seeing a stabilizing trend for three days in a row The number of newly confirmed positive cases is smaller than the number of those fully cured and released So their curve is trending down true or not doesn't matter they can show a graph from people believe it Interestingly they went through the same curve We did with testing

43:44 Well, first of all testing is central because that leads to early detection. It minimizes further spread and it quickly treats those found with the virus and I think that's the key behind our very low fatality rate as well I think our system quickly approved the testing system after the Chinese authorities released the genetic sequence of the virus in mid-January. Our health authorities quickly conferred with the research institutions here and then shared that result with pharmaceutical companies who then produced reagent

44:30 and the equipments needed for the testing. And so I think our testing is nearly a quarter of a million at this point, 268 thousand as of today So we had a similar issue where the CDC received the data, they created the test. Their test was no good now why? I don't know you can't necessarily of course that's being blamed on Trump because of some vague replacement of people in the National Security Council bullcrap! The CDC fumbled it I'm gonna just presume that was an accident and then... How about this? It happens. It happens, and then Trump went to the FDA and said we've got to open it up.

CHAPTER 13 / 55 Discussion

U.S. Testing Capacity, CDC Centralization and Lab Reports

The U.S. testing rollout faced delays due to the CDC's centralized system and initial test failures. The administration has since bypassed certain regulations to allow commercial labs to process tests, though some lab workers report that the actual positive rate among tens of thousands of swabs is less than 0.1%.

cdc· fda· commercial labs· home swabs· population density

45:15 which is that everyone's all up and oh, we should have South Korea look what they did a couple of things. And I know that number was useful which is they only tested 250 000 people. Thank you! That is like less...I mean their population is 50 million our population is 350 million So we have to when the CDC had to do testing, it wasn't going to be for a measly 250 thousand people. It had to be for at least a million or two and so that there's all these this out of whack though this comparison with South Korea and everyone was doing the comparison because it makes Trump look bad

45:52 But the comparison is just out of whack. It makes no sense, but okay Let's just Korea is better than we are and by the way if anyone thinks that Korea so great watch the movie Parasite And see how these lower classes live It was after all your favorite movie of the year So the CDC has a centralized system where you have to send them back, they have to process it. And I believe it was the president himself who said okay no good bypass it rewrite the rules scrap the regulations we have to have the commercial labs doing it The commercial labs still have to test they all have different systems We got one in Austin that already has the home swab so that was very smart to do that for number of reasons although maybe not so smart because

46:39 Man, do you really want to see the numbers go up and make everybody crazy now that we're being tested? Because they go up and it looks like we're all gonna die on the same... by the same token. The morbidity rate goes down with more cases that you can show On the testing I received an email from a dude named Ben in A Lab He wants to be anonymous for obvious reasons. Longtime producer of the show, listening since before episode 200. So he says I as a dude named Ben at a major clinical laboratory

Singapore TraceTogether App, Bluetooth Contact Tracing

Singapore has launched the TraceTogether app, which uses Bluetooth signals to log proximity between users without collecting geolocation data. If a user tests positive for COVID-19, contact tracers use the encrypted, anonymized IDs stored on the phone to notify others who may have been exposed.

singapore· tracetogether· bluetooth· contact tracing· privacy

47:15 was shown a report of the positive cases of coronavirus that have passed through our lab. After having processed tens of thousands of swabs over the last two weeks, The real rate of positive cases we have found is less than 0.1%. You don't get that impression from the numbers were being shown So I thought that was an interesting data point. Data points are going to come out and the whole thing is going to be embarrassing Final clip from the South Korean foreign minister, and i think this is this is the template This is where we may be going We already see the logo out there They did not quarantine people

47:58 And they have chosen for a different path which I'm quite confident will be recommended here very soon. The other thing that you do of course is that you monitor people afterwards, You're not going into the same kind of lockdown and social exclusion as a lot of European countries are but instead your monitoring people by phone app again can you explain why you doing that and not closing down large chunks of your country? Well, I think this is being faithful to the values of our very vibrant democracy which is... Tracking people goes to the core of our very vibrant democracy. This needs to go down in history! Pull it back a little bit that's too good. Well, I think this is being faithful to the values of our very vibrant democracy which is open

48:47 And you know the government fully in the service of the people and I have to say our public is very demanding and Requite, you know didn't you know expects the highest standards from government services? And I think this is the key that drive of our of our of our response to this. And they're not the only ones lots of countries are now doing this we know about China but we actually have A promo reel for the Trace Together app from Singapore. Play your part in fighting COVID-19 with just two simple steps One, download Trace Together and help those around you to set it up Two turn on your Bluetooth and it is as simple as that

49:31 Get peace of mind for you and your family through community-driven contact tracing. Trace Together helps contact tracers notify you more quickly if you're close contact with a COVID-19 case, whether or not you know the person but how does it work? TraceTogether uses Bluetooth signals to determine when your phone is near another phone but also has the app installed. Both phones exchange anonymized IDs, which are then stored in encrypted form only on your phone If a user gets infected with COVID-19 he or she will be asked to give contact tracers access to the TraceTogether data A list of anonymized ID's that your phone has been closed to

50:15 And that's really it. No geolocation or other personal data is collected The anonymized IDs will help contact tracers quickly identify and contact people at high risk of infection to provide care and prevent the spread of the disease Take this time to 1. Download TraceTogether, and help those around you set it up And two, turn on your Bluetooth. The more people on board Trace together the faster we can combat COVID-19. Okay stop it's disgusting! No I have to kill you! I want all the tech... You know what happened about halfway through? I zoned out completely then i heard her say turn on your bluetooth a second time and I said wait a minute this thing is just going around and around in a circle

Cashless Society Transition, Environmental Impact of Lockdowns

The World Health Organization's comments on currency hygiene have accelerated the move toward a cashless society, with many retailers now refusing physical money. Additionally, observers note that global lockdowns have led to a dramatic drop in CO2 levels and air pollution, sparking theories about future "climate stay-at-home" mandates.

world health organization· cashless society· pollution· co2 levels· climate change

51:02 So that is the worst and the music Oh, yeah trying to do hypnotize the public I'm pretty sure that we're going to first of all. The cashless society is happening And no we had a little disagreement about that on the last show We still doing it wrote about in the newsletter you said maybe we'll see this and I have picked picture after picture after picture of people snapping shots of point-of-sale that says no cash coronavirus we want to take ultimate responsibility careful for our employees and our customers, no cash card only. So it's going to be very easy to demonize cash and because it was Ted Ross the Ethiopian at the World Health Organization who said

51:52 I take that very seriously. He's also the guy that said morbidity rate of 3.4 and it will go down drastically over time, but no one ever reports that so just taking into its Forget about the app and it'll be very interesting to see what people like me will have to do I think you automatically just get a mark It's like well You don't have a smartphone which you just read on the map No matter what This stay at home concept is going to get legs. We're going to see stay-at-home as a solution to things Certainly we've all trained and will all have an app or multiple apps, so maybe your phone will have it built in It's time to stay home cower in place This will come back Maybe next year you know we'll have another one of these when go through it because we're not going to the end times yet There's way too much money to be made but for sure

52:47 You can count on the messaging coming that because we all stayed home, CO2 levels dropped dramatically. There was much less pollution in the air you might have looked up and you saw it was a beautiful blue sky And I think we'll have maybe quarterly stay-at-home days. No! Oh yeah, oh yeah because we have proof that staying at home saves the climate We will have staying at home weekends or days or weeks It's coming Yeah well...I hope not There has to be a reason for this

Tech Giant Censorship, Google Drive File Blocking

Microsoft, Facebook, Google, and Twitter have issued a joint statement on combating coronavirus misinformation. However, reports have surfaced of Google Drive blocking private documents related to Chloroquine research, citing "Terms of Service" violations and raising concerns about automated AI scanning of private cloud storage.

microsoft· facebook· google drive· censorship· terms of service

53:24 It's not in the numbers and I want to remind everybody of this clip that i played on the pre- I won't play the whole thing, this clip I played on the last show at the top. Some of the tech world's biggest names announced they are joining together To combat the spread of misinformation about the coronavirus On their platforms In a joint statement released by Microsoft Facebook Alphabets Google and Twitter the tech giants said they will work together to quell misinformation Yeah, and let me tell you the extent that this is going So someone post something on medium a good article about the numbers The numbers that we've been talking about for several weeks if they don't really add up as to the response removed by medium blocked by Twitter someone tried to send me information about

54:14 Chloroquine? Yeah. The document that he shared on Google Drive, his own Google Drive and I went to the link and it says sorry this document violates our community standards or terms of service is not available. I mean come on! That's private sharing that they're now interrupting. What they're digging into private sharing on Google? Yep. On Google Drive so they're going through your drive... So in other words what you're telling me that if somebody has private information that they're putting on Google Drive, their scan is actually going through it. Yes it's interesting you say that because as I was this you know my head and my brain started whirring this morning around 3 30 and woke up and I was thinking like that is so messed up just imagine what kind of profile you could build off of someone off your docs and your gmail

55:14 I bet you could build a pretty good profile of somebody just by looking at their email. Well, that's another good reason not to use either system. I use Google Email for one reason only and I don't know how you're going to profile this? I use it because like its easiest way is to send you a block of clips Yes, and that's pretty much all I use it for. And that's all I use it for yeah And I don't use Google Docs at all It's very possible that if you why would I want to when I have a hard disk? I can buy a terabyte drive I can buy an 8 terabyte drive at Costco for 150 bucks I understand what I want to put my stuff in Google's cloud for them just To block the block

56:00 So the censorship is on and for some reason we've put all of our faith, and no one questions that they're blocking in just articles. Just information an article about the numbers is taken down by medium blocked by Twitter I don't have Facebook so I know what's going on there Instagram And then the Google Drive it just blew me away So now that could have been well, I'm going to remain skeptical about the Google Drive. Why? I mean, I talked to the guy he said this is what I sent you and we and you know, the test is there. I have the link and open up the link and I get this block

56:43 Need to see one more piece of evidence that this is what's going on and it's just not some bug or a Or something was done done wrong because I could do that now. It's doable I've never seen a community terms of service block from from Google Drive That's the community if two one person sharing to build community, it's just a dry It's just a file in its cloud they did given to you Where's the community? Well, it is a community of everyone at Google looking at it. Okay, actually so here it is. It's from J.A Donnelly you know J.A Donnelly Plaquenil used for anti-malaria and lupus drug His ex wife was on in the mid 90s. He has an interesting doc about it I click on the doc It opened up on the link it opens up We're sorry You can't access this item because it is a violation of our terms of service Sorry not community standards Terms Of Service with a link to Terms Of Service which of course takes you down a rabbit hole

57:51 Wait, wait. So a document about some old product that is being sent to you specifically? Where's the terms of service on this? What terms of service is good? Maybe the guys had he's got too much stuff up there or something Okay, dream on Dvorak. I'm just Dream on it's it's almost hard for me to believe and I'm a skeptic that Google is digging through Google Docs. They're doing it by machine, I mean because you can't do it by hand... Well now recall that they said in that clip that I didn't play fully they said we're because people are can't work cause their at home which is a total lie because all of these content checkers work from home there contractors through third parties

58:52 We're switching on the AI and a lot of stuff might get D platform delisted Unfairly, but we won't be able to do anything. Yeah, we won't be able to do anything about it for now I mean well even so let's stop this stop. Let's even drop that if it's a doc file that you put in your folder, in your cloud that you rented or bought or paid for as part of your system and it's just a single file talking about something and he sends it to you. Where is the violation of the terms of service? I don't know!

59:33 It sounds to me as though they're fishing through files that they have no business phishing through, that are closed files that are on their cloud. Their cloud is completely useless to anyone who cares about anything if that's true so you have a filing from your attorney that's talking about some strategy for your divorce settlement Google now knows about it? Are you gonna tell me there's gambling going on there? Stop it. You can't feign this surprise, please! I'm just saying this is disgusting! Yeah well welcome citizen

Judy Woodruff, Dr. Fauci PBS NewsHour Interview

PBS NewsHour's Judy Woodruff questioned Dr. Anthony Fauci on the slow implementation of social distancing and equipment shortages in the U.S. compared to South Korea. Fauci defended the current response, describing the early stages of an outbreak as the "fog of war" and stating that testing capacity is now rapidly expanding.

judy woodruff· pbs newshour· anthony fauci· testing· equipment

1:00:14 Let's look at the racist angle for a moment. This is really being played hard and heavy San Diego Racist this race before you go to the racist thing, I want to go there But I want to get that one if I have a Fowchee clip. I wanna get out of it. All right sure um This is Fauci You know, they're asking him crazy stuff on for first of all. Judy is trying to set Foushee up to say something bad about Trump and he won't do it or in man bad so but but it goes into this other thing which is kind of interesting this is

1:00:52 Well, let's start with the Judy versus Fauci. Here's Judy trying to get Fauci and she by the way looks like she's getting old She looks like it looks like the painting in her basement has somebody stole it and started punching Say say it again the painting in her basement what? The painting in her basement which kept her kind of youthful, has been destroyed and she's like aging on the spot from fretting. Well it's possible She is an old woman who was fretting a lot. Let us go Dr Fauci Reuters is reporting today that the first cases of COVID-19 reported in United States and South Korea on the same day January 20th but in South Korea they moved very quickly they had testing made available manufacturing available within days

1:01:40 They moved very quickly to identify who had COVID-19. The story in the United States has been a lot slower, it's this country is still as you've said not ready with tests everywhere they're needed what has gone wrong here? Not just with testing but with all the equipment and the preparation and the social distancing that didn't get implemented until the last few days. To be fair, I don't think that something has gone wrong obviously nothing was perfect with regard to the testing we've gone over that over and over again about initially the system that we use for testing from the CDC developing a test right getting it to the public health authorities was not designed to the broad type of high throughput testing that goes out for the country We are now really

1:02:27 in that arena now. Let's look forward as opposed to back, that's working but the other things we're doing I think that we are actually being and have been quite aggressive. I mean whenever you have an outbreak if you look at the history of outbreaks it's a little bit like the fog of war I mean, people try to do the right thing and sometimes they get it right from the beginning. Sometimes they correct and really go...I would think where we are right now in a good place. It isn't perfect by any means. We still have to get more equipment and with doing something to get more equipment. We still need to make sure that testing is much more available but its getting there really rapidly

1:03:08 So it shuts her down. I mean she's obviously that was actually the nicest I've heard him about about testing He's explained it many different ways Well, we messed up you see what we made a mistake? I've heard that he'd said that in in In the house, I think yeah, and then I think he sensed that he was being set up to And so he got his hackles up and he just defended the whole situation because of her, the way she's asking these questions. She has turned into a very negative hyper-liberal progressive reporter. Listen to the teaser! This is what

Contagion Film, CDC and NIH Predictive Programming

The 2011 film *Contagion* is cited as a potential example of predictive programming, as it was produced with heavy consultation from the CDC and NIH. Dr. Anthony Fauci and Ian Lipkin were reportedly involved in the project, which underwent twelve script rewrites to ensure technical accuracy regarding a global pandemic.

contagion· ian lipkin· anthony fauci· predictive programming· script rewrites

1:03:47 This PBS's audience is supposed to be the intellectual, the intelligentsia. It's supposed to be all these people that are running... you know, the smart people who are supposed to listen to PBS and they're being fed stuff like this Judy teaser. Still to come on The NewsHour warning signs, the critical days ahead as the virus spreads through the US I should mention the movie Contagion Which is such beautiful predictive programming for this event. And I remember this because we went through it with a fine-tooth comb in 2010, 2011 It was a CDC slash NIH project Fauci Ian Lipkin who at the time was the CDC director They were all consultants on this film and they went through 12 script rewrites You remember us talking about that?

1:04:44 I think we said this is a setup. I wish i could find which show that was but it was 2010-2011 time frame so these people...I've become very, very cynical and skeptical about what I'm just everything I'm seeing now there's too much of this if they really were worried why would they keep pushing this Trump and the The racist thing, I mean here is a council member San Diego and she's...

Democratic Party, Black Vote and ADOS Movement

Political analysts suggest the Democratic Party is concerned about losing support from Black voters, specifically those involved in the ADOS (American Descendants of Slavery) movement. There is speculation that a shift in voting patterns or a decrease in turnout could significantly impact the upcoming election.

ados· lyndon johnson· civil rights act· trump· black voters

1:05:38 And the Democrats are worried sick that there's going to be a few blacks voting for Trump. Or not voting for Democrat or not voting at all. Yes, not voting at all But now I don't think it's I think is I think their fear of the voting for Trump is I think if they don't vote at All's well you're gonna do but if they vote for Trump to some sort of I think it would be very upsetting to them because Johnson promised a black vote to the Democrats for the next 100 years and He was a liar in the 60s. A lying Texan, I'm telling you! Liar! That's what he said. He said well i'm going to deliver the black vote to the Democrats for the next 100 years and then push the civil rights act they did a bunch of other things that and they'd be that was the guarantee and now they're fearful that the blacks are gonna go hey these guys haven't done jack shit for us

1:06:30 Yeah, that's kind of the thinking. The ADOS definitely are thinking we're not participating in this I don't know how many are going to vote for Trump but I think the Democrats are dumb enough to think that And the Republicans are also probably dumb enough to think it. Love that one. We have the best producers! All right, is it time? Can I go now to the... Sorry for interrupting so much but you can please see this. Please go ahead.

The influence of the Chinese lobby is noted in American academia, Hollywood, and the NBA, particularly following LeBron James' comments on free speech regarding China. Meanwhile, a San Diego council member has condemned the use of the term "Chinese virus," linking it to historical xenophobia and the Chinese Exclusion Act.

lebron james· nba· chinese exclusion act· xenophobia· san diego

1:07:20 China and I have to remind when I when I mean, I think we're just so we're so used to it But China is in all of our society particularly academia Lobbyists the Chinese lobby in Washington DC. Is its its huge This entertainment they've got they've got their money and there and Nothing you know hey? I don't blame them for doing it But we're kind of waking up now and saying, wait a minute. They bought Hollywood! Yeah well they bought everything. They've bought a lot of our... They bought the NBA! The NBA is another fantastic example

1:08:00 So what do we see? The NBA is probably the example. We got King LeBron saying, and then three days later oh we have to be careful what we say about China because it could hurt people's feelings, could hurt people's money, people's pocketbook... He said that! Because China rules, or I should put it this way money rules. It's really not even about China it's about money when people see their paycheck in jeopardy they make interesting decisions so that there is a Chinese lobby that is saying we have to stop being called out for this. I can understand the reasoning

1:08:44 But they're going about in the following ways, so I'm not sure what the connection is this council member of San Diego She's a first First-generation immigrant. I presume from China. I haven't had time to look her up but just listen to what you say generation Immigrants when I hear about this talk about the Chinese virus I just roll my eyes and think that is so old and I am reminded that these kinds of tropes are have been built into American culture and history associating immigrants with fear. And history has shown that when we're afraid, we want someone to blame and we often turn to xenophobia and we know that doesn't really solve

1:09:27 Is this true? When we're afraid, do we actually turn to xenophobia is that the first... I immediately turned to xenophobia. And we often turn to xenophobia and know that doesn't really solve anything and only creates more problems Asian Americans are actually the first illegal immigrants in the U.S during the yellow peril era The Chinese, in particular were seen as dirty, diseased taking away jobs from good people that of course led to the Chinese Exclusion Act Fast forward today where even before all these social distancing measures

1:10:05 Asian restaurants have been the first to financially suffer and they became ghost towns. And there are increased reports of bullying, harassment and violent hate crimes against Asian Americans and in one case that was reported on CNN, a woman was attacked on the subway by a man who yelled every disease comes from China. Everything comes from China because they're disgusting and by the way this victim was Thai American So when we hear xenophobic rhetoric, especially from Washington We cannot ignore it. We must condemn it right away Call it out and force our leaders to be accountable because our well-being is at stake And can I gently remind everyone that Asian Americans are American? Thank you so that no there's reasons for this and it's not just your typical wokeness although I believe

1:11:01 political correctness and wokeness is our problem. That's why people, no one's taking a stand everybody is afraid and I think there's it's not by coincidence that we have New York Los Angeles or I should say New York California Oregon Illinois all super woke leadership in those cities and they're just shutting down like okay stay inside be quiet They're afraid to do anything else because they know they'll be cancelled if they say, well I think we're okay here. We should wait a couple more days... No no no! They are afraid. Anyway back to the racist part

CHAPTER 21 / 55 Discussion

One America News, White House Press Room Controversy

A reporter from One America News (OAN) drew criticism for asking President Trump if the term "Chinese food" is racist. The exchange, which included accusations that mainstream media outlets side with foreign state propaganda, has been characterized by some as a staged attempt to pander to the administration.

oan· white house· press corps· chinese food· propaganda

1:11:43 Then Trump clearly sets up the one American news reporter with the stupidest gambit ever. I mean, I was insulted by this! I get it you're under fire for a lot of things but this was dumb. Do you consider the term China? OAN. Yes sir. Very good thank you very much Do you consider the term Chinese food racist? Because it's food that originates in China or has Chinese roots. No, I don't think it is racist. Excuse me Mr President! You know what, I'm going to ask you a dingbat question that you've never heard before... do you think Chinese food is racist because it comes from China?! That's her question!!!

1:12:30 And Trump equally does the dumb shit thing after it. I don't think it's racist at all On that note, major left-wing news media even in this room have teamed up with Chinese Communist Party narratives and they're claiming you are racist for making these claims about Chinese virus Is it alarming that major media players just to oppose you are consistently siding with foreign state propaganda Islamic radicals and Latin gangs and cartels And they work right here at the White House with direct access to you and your team. Okay, yeah let's back up for a second and remind ourselves what happened during the Bush administration

1:13:08 When George Bush was in office, they had some gay model who was one of these beefy gay guys. Oh yeah! It was one of the Midnight Tour guys. Yeah, one of those guys posing as some sort of reporter, some phony baloney reporter asking this sort of stupid question pandering to the president and he was planted there and given credentials to come in and do it and he was immediately busted by everybody that spent a lot time trying to get credentials And this is the same sort of thing. This is a bad idea and it's extremely stupid, OA Inch who was doing a good job of keeping you know keeping a good pace up for bringing out good news stories and they have some good people there. They should be ashamed to themselves for taking part in this. Oh absolutely! I think went down a notch in my opinion Two notches... two at least two

CHAPTER 22 / 55 Discussion

Steve Bannon, War Room Pandemic Podcast and CCP Propaganda

Steve Bannon's *War Room: Pandemic* podcast highlights the escalating propaganda war between the U.S. State Department and the Chinese Communist Party. Secretary Mike Pompeo recently designated Chinese state media outlets as foreign missions, leading to the retaliatory expulsion of American journalists from China.

steve bannon· mike pompeo· shinhua· ccp· radio free asia

1:14:05 But there's other stuff, you know NBC and it's really only was it three companies who own all of our television news Comcast Disney and Viacom right that that's really it So now that well since we're on this sort of thing about the Chinese influence. Mm-hmm Let's listen to Steve Bannon's podcast which is actually played on k ABC and or w abc in New York City He's he's been doing I've been listening to this show for I think since it started And I suppose they have professional engineers in the control room no, no It's the it's I have actually

1:14:49 sent a message to him, although I don't have his email so I just like DM'd on Twitter. I said my God have someone call me! I know what's going wrong it sucks it's horrible and you must fix this no answer idiots over there it's horrible well he did bring up...I got two clips from one of his podcasts some woman named Mara who is an expert on all kinds of things she comes in on the phone Way over modulated. I compressed it myself, tried to fix it... No, it's useless! I tried, I tried, I tried The level of the hiss there is noise It's beyond belief zero compression

1:15:34 That said... I want to play these two clips because the second clip has a piece of information that is quite interesting, but let's play the first clip. And the funny thing is with any Steve Bannon interview it is 7 8ths Steve Bannon yammering We're using all kinds of military code and terms He likes doing that a lot. Now, he is a Navy man so I'll give him that but he loves the whole war setting it's isn't the podcast War Room? War room pandemic. It's Stephen K. Bennett. COVID report now he changed it. The COVID report damn all right! So here we go...so listen here's the thing today you've seen this ratcheting of uh the Chinese Communist Party propaganda from their state media

1:16:22 Mike Pompeo a couple weeks ago actually put out a proclamation that the state media was going to have to essentially be like a foreign mission. They weren't really media, they were more like an arm of the Chinese government Then you've seen there's an official in the Chinese government last week that actually accused the United States military of having something to do with this virus they called over the ambassador from china to the united states to the state department you know read him the right act we have not had a formal response i don't think today but there's now a leak of this phone call where the uh... chinese foreign minister individual i know not a particularly pleasant fellow

1:17:00 called Mike Pompeo and they leaked it immediately to the Chinese state media, and he according to Chinese state media really laid it down on Secretary Pompeo about they were tired of being smeared by the United States government. And then later today we just found out that they have essentially kicked out the American National Report, and non-Chinese nationals I think of The Wall Street Journal in The New York Times. And also I think Voice of America So you've been at this a long time particularly about freedom of the press and the ability to get information into China Can you kind of contextualize this for the audience?

1:17:38 I did spend many years working for Radio Free Asia's Tibet service and that is the most difficult part of China to get information in and out of Western China, Xinjiang and Tibet are under permanent lockdown at all times. And uh... i think it is very important for your listeners use this as a opportunity to examine shin hwa global times china daily i mean we see them on news boxes in every single corner of new york city and shinhwa which is a propaganda wing of the chinese communist party it not only legitimate news organization it uh... it has been spreading at chinese communists propaganda for decades but he's been normalized and integrated into our society

CHAPTER 23 / 55 Discussion

New York Times, China Daily Advertising Inserts

The *New York Times* has faced scrutiny for including *China Daily*, a state-run publication, as a paid advertising insert in its Wednesday editions. Critics argue that these expensive "special reports" are designed to look like editorial content, potentially influencing the paper's coverage of Chinese government affairs.

new york times· china daily· advertising· editorial independence· ccp

1:18:27 You know there's some news about the journalists being kicked out of China, the US journalist New York Times Washington Post. There is Wall Street Journal Oh okay well it's in retaliation because we kicked out Think five or six journalists from Chinese media quote-unquote media companies here first No one ever mentions that but these were Chinese spies that we kicked out and we wouldn't put spies Not at the Washington Post Wall Street Journal of The New York Times no spooks there So this is the part though. They got me this little tidbit that she puts I didn't know this because I don't live in, New York and

1:19:11 But there's a little thing that Bannon pointed out and then as soon as she confirmed it, and they talk about it I thought this is absolutely the worst case. It's not like he's not even native advertising would listen to clip tune you see what I'm talking about every Everywhere I go I see people now parroting propaganda from the CCP when they should be supporting the president, supporting Governor Cuomo. This is bipartisan this has nothing to do with picking fights on either side we have to come together in the midst of this humanitarian crisis so I think it's very dangerous

1:19:47 when I see mainstream media siding with the Chinese Communist Party. But, don't think it's surprising at all. Correct me if i'm wrong in New York City I think you get a paper edition of the New York Times delivered on Wednesdays isn't the China Daily an insert into The New York Times? Yes, I found this appalling for years and that's why their coverage is so biased. You know it's abounding this Russia thing. This Russia-Russia-Russia is responsible for all the ills of our society but they always take a light touch with China because they're taking ad dollars from the Chinese Communist Party every week and so I suppose that would influence your coverage wouldn't it? It's not just ad dollars John explained the editorial insert process and business

1:20:34 Well, the editor well it is ad dollars because those are considered advertisements. But they're disguised as content. Oh, they're disguised as all kinds of things I mean you have these special report is a classic. Ooh! Special report and there'll be a special report on some part in many cases nowadays just like it'd be a special report on some part of China And as you read about in the special report, which looks like editorial but it's not. It's bought and paid for and is usually written with some advertising guys oversight and they'll have all kinds of little subtle propaganda within it. But this idea of taking the entire, insert an entire thing, an entire newspaper inside your newspaper? This is expensive! It's a lot of money. And if you're the advertiser of your China Communist Party dropping their China Daily inside The New York Times on Wednesdays

1:21:31 for home delivery, you are paying a lot of money and the coverage will reflect that. I don't care what anybody thinks, I've talked to people about this. You talk to two people who talked to the higher ups in New York Times structure? Oh no! That would never happen. We have church and state. The church is one thing and the states another. They don't mix And then you talk to the reporters. Give yourself a pat on the back for that voice, that's a new one to the show I like that guy! That guy is cool. That's the New York Times editorial guy. It looks almost like this little bit so then you have the man the reporter on the street by the way John did you say Chinese wall?

1:22:17 No, I said church and state. I didn't say Chinese wall but I should have. Thanks trolls! Church and state is the thing they do but it's a thing they say never say Chinese wall and And the reporters all say will tell you that...and I've written in big magazines that You know what's going on? You say well, you know these guys advertise a lot We're not gonna say anything to this report because I'll probably get fired or whatever. Yeah of course And then you talk to the New York Times editorial guys about this, and yeah these guys won't write about that because they say they'll get fired. That's never gonna happen! We wouldn't do that. And they do it's just as a joke. It's a joke that they're putting The China Daily in the newspaper and it's not affecting coverage. It's totally affecting coverage

CHAPTER 24 / 55 Discussion

Melania Trump, Coronavirus Public Service Announcement

First Lady Melania Trump released a video message urging Americans to follow CDC guidelines and stay connected through technology during the pandemic. The production was criticized for poor audio quality and an echoing environment, which some felt detracted from the comforting nature of the message.

melania trump· cdc· psa· white house· social distancing

1:23:07 And I'm so disappointed in just the media approach. Who is running the White House communications? Who's in charge of the media and getting stuff out? They got some new woman there, I think it's not what...I mean, so I think it's very important... Stop! Stop! Stop! I know who it is. It's Trump Exactly. Yeah, I'm sure he's the one- hey get One American News! Get that cute girl over here she was cute get the cute girl and put her in the back. Oh yeah it was the cute one? No no I don't like her she died on I think she's oh so you don't like Tommy Lahren no I don't know I don't like her now you can't even see her but you can tell it and just the way she's like oh I mean this set up

1:23:49 Man, if you're a cub reporter for One America News You're gonna do this without some preamble with the administration? I don't think so. Or maybe they know that Trump loves that! I don't know but very appropriate to have the first lady say something comforting and I'm a fan of Melania then as a first lady And then they put her in a hallway with an echo. And it sounds like she's in the Addams Family house, and it kind of looks that way. You know just... And her accent comes in and she's saying really sweet things but it sucks balls! Today I want to speak with you about coronavirus and what it means for you and your family Yes Gomez we will make crazy love later While changes need to be made now this is not how we will live forever

1:24:49 Our children will return to school, people will return to work. We will gather at the places of worship concerts and sporting events again It's like Zsa Zsa Gabor in her mansion you know it's just it's so wrong and I feel bad for her she gets screwed every time with this deal! I urge you to stay connected to family and loved ones through the video chats phone calls social media and other safe technologies Please be sure to follow CDC guidelines, which can be found at coronavirus.gov or cdc.gov along with other information and resources It's also kind of like one of those in-flight videos You know where instead of the you know the stewardess they have a little video that shows you how to buckle your seatbelt Yeah, put this the metal tip into the buckle

1:25:45 And remember, while many of us are apart we are all in this together. It's just bad! What is it Jacob? Trump came from... he has enough show business chops Yeah He was not Why doesn't he bring a sound guy in there that knows what he's doing I don't think he was involved in this Well here's the ISO This will not last forever Yeah, did you know what the sound is so bad? Yeah. You can't you can't even use it I have another candidate Oh ISO candidate yeah this one is scary Okay, it's very scary now talk about sound quality that's horrible It's like a Skype warble

1:26:27 It's very scary. No, I think this is still...I don't believe in rules! Well that's clean as a whistle. Yeah and that's still the best one so far. But the scary clip if you want to hear it, well what were we talking about? You wanna finish your point of discussion because i have one more topic. Go for it. I'll tell you what, we can continue this Yes, what I want to talk about and we continue it right after what you're going to do. I want to talk about how these idiots have this because they're taking this so seriously have the Hollywood has decided to start doing their programming from home

1:27:13 And we'll talk about that right after. I thank you for your courage and your tease, and say in the morning to you the man who put both seas in Cuomo vs. Cuomo John C. Dvorak! And good morning to you Mr Adam Curry, you know, running all our ships and seaboards on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water... In the morning everybody hello producers and hello trolls it's got a troll count right now We have whoa Almost 2,000. 1,989 trolls in the troll room! Whoo-hoo that is a lot. That is yeah that's great it's noagendastream.com which has been on fire this past week of course people are home. It's on fire I think people are seeing that the social media networks are just

1:28:04 Either they're blocking information or you know, the algos are kicking in and so people are going to noagendasocial.com They're using that they're checking into NoAgendaStream.com which is by the way where you can get an invite for a No Agenda Social and it's great So I do my blitzes of material as soon as it gets into newsletter? Once a week! You do your blitzes of material right there at NoAgendasocial.com Which is random Yes And again, it's fun to join in with the trolls because there are almost 2,000 of them right now. Go take a look at noagendastream.com For the artwork we say big in the morning to Mountain J, Lady Mountain J who brought us the most appropriate piece of artwork for that particular show At that particular moment in the time continuum The No Agenda Sanity Kit and I just thought it was spectacular

1:29:03 I think we looked at everything and this was it within a minute or two, wasn't it? Well there was a discussion. There's the sanity kit...I liked couple of things What did I like him looking at? Oh, yeah. One I liked was Riley's quinine-tipped arrow. Yes! Which of course was just mocking you... That's okay. I had no problem with it but we thought it would be so obscure that... But it was a little bit yes. It was very obscure. Yeah, it was a bit much. What I liked a lot is the sorry we're closed

1:29:48 And that was used in the newsletter and it's in Canada for today show. Okay, excellent. But yes, it was the no agenda sanity kit which was used twice very rarely. This has been there's very few pieces that have been reused for both the beginning of the show the stream and then again The show itself and this is because the artist wisely Made a second copy without the show number Yes Very smart very very smart if you're doing something for the pre-stream

1:30:24 Do one without the episode number, because that's kind of a non-starter for us typically. There are always exceptions to the rule I did receive an email from art producer Lady Mountain J She says after almost three years of douchebaggery I finally started chipping in with monthly donations in May of 2019 replacing my audible payment Excellent, then as an art producer in October 29. I receive enormous value from everyone's work on no agenda I'm very happy to provide some valid value and return a formal de-douching would be very much appreciated And of course we'll do that You've been

Executive Producer Donations, Dame Shell of the High Plains

The show acknowledges significant financial contributions from producers, including a $1,000 donation from Michelle Winton. In honor of her late father, she is granted the title "Dame Shell of the High Plains," as the hosts discuss the "value-for-value" model that keeps the program independent of corporate advertisers.

donations· knighthood· west texas· cancer· value-for-value

1:31:01 And noagendaartgenerator.com is where you can find all of the artwork that is submitted and you can submit some yourself It's it's like a lot, but like a contest It's just like a contest! And thank you Once again, then we have people who support the show in our value for value system since we obviously can't be taking Chinese money We can't be taking any corporate money. This conversation would never take place In anything any even on a podcast with advertisers it would not happen. We get cancelled We'd get deep platformed. We'd be gone and So we rely on our executive producers, associate executive producers and other financial producers of the program. And we're going to thank some of them right now for this episode 1227. And we actually have two big donors

1:31:52 By big, instant nights. Sir Truman who's already at night saw a 1033 from Linden Utah he says 33 is a nice number to have in there the no agenda show as the antidote for the fear virus The little-known side effects being laughter perspective and critical thinking horrible The Ides of March indeed. My dad passed and sister to brain cancer earlier this month, that's not good.

Nothing you did, nothing you did life just got incredibly hard my dad died and I told you about it in a drunken late night donation. My last one as a matter of fact until now. In writing it looks like a bad country song. In reality I kept the man who

1:34:15 It is my hero, the dogs who love me. The son who is a damn smart kid and the roof over my head and didn't slide off the bar stool once so here we are. It's the reverse country song yes I have recovered as much as one does and now my amazing husband is harassing me daily to become a dame.

Sir Curity, Australian Dollar and Knighthood Top-Off

Sir Curity from Perth, Australia, contributed additional funds to maintain his knighthood status following the devaluation of the Australian dollar. He expressed a sense of "night imposter syndrome" and chose to top off his donation using British pounds to ensure he met the show's requirements.

Duke Dave Fugazotto, Saudi Arabia Lockdown Report

Duke Dave Fugazotto provides a "boots on the ground" report from a Western compound in Saudi Arabia, where international flights and domestic travel have been suspended. He describes the local hygiene customs, the closure of compound amenities, and the social dynamics of expats living under the Kingdom's strict quarantine measures.

1:39:43 Australia. Shall I take, since we have a lot of these big ones shall i take Fugazotto? If you want to read Fugazotto sure yeah. Dave Fugazotto. Halahaboobs as they say in the local patois for good day my fine fellows boots on the ground report from Saudi Arabia sorry in advance for the length The Kingdom is doing pretty well and as of today has under 400 cases with 16 recoveries and no deaths. International flights were cancelled last week so I'm stuck away from my dames for the time being, but they also cancelled domestic flights buses and long-haul taxis on Saturday. The country is mostly shut down with governmental pleas to stay home and not go out unless absolutely necessary

1:40:27 Restaurants are only take-out or drive through and most nonessential retail services are closed. Grocery shelves are well stocked though, and there's no interruption of food supplies that I can tell The local hygiene regimen tends to use an en suite spray hose so there is no mad scrum on quote John Wayne paper which is what it's called because its rough tough and don't take shit off anyone Sanitary wipes and hand sanitizer are hard to find though, and here there's no using T-Dos as a substitute since alcohol is verboten. And hypothetically if it did exist would be too precious for topical application of course Dr. Bronner is always on call we act expats typically live on compounds that are suitable

1:41:15 to our Western style of life. Mine has an international mix of residents, one whom apparently had the bug but they and their family were confined to their villa and have since recovered but nobody wants to hang out with them now very sad all of the compound services restaurant gym pool coffee shop spa hair salon etc are closed we're encouraged to socially distance ourselves but you do see residents out for strolls and jogs and occasionally congregating in small groups. My company is complying with the Kingdom's guidance for a 14-day minimum work from home, although my position still has me at the office. That said I'm getting a lot more work done than normal since the normal stream of supplicants has dwindled off to a mere trickle."

1:41:55 In all of this my amygdala remains strong clean and right-sized thanks to the twice weekly refreshing lavage of truth and sanity from My Old Friend, the best podcast in the universe. Not only can I maintain an unnatural serenity amidst the chaos but I've clear Chouse I think is the word but I have clear unpanicked perspective that I use to influence those with whom I interact This show and the media deconstruction it provides is truly more important now than at any time in its history. I hope you guys understand the impact You're making without exaggeration, you are probably saving lives by interrupting the panic chain

1:42:33 Finally, I humbly request the honor of an upgrade as I unwittingly passed the threshold for dukedom earlier this year. Accounting attached! Request title change to Sir Fugazotto Duke of America's Heartland and The Arabian Peninsula I might as well snaffle up the rest of this place while i'm stuck here with no way to get home. One jingle request, please Pelly the anthem of our No Agenda tribe at the close of the broadcast day! I think we could all benefit from this unifying triumphant and optimistic tones apologies for their verbosity." So he has a title upgrade which I don't think was reflected on my sheet today. Well... Thank you very much Duke Dave

1:43:14 I was taught when...I was in Dubai and there was a guy, British guy who's showing me the ropes about everything. And he probably...I don't know what he did for really did for a living but he lived in one of these compounds in Saudi Arabia and generally speaking these compounds are like they're verboten to the Saudis No, that makes sense. The Saudis can't live in one." And I said, well what is that? Is it because of some legal thing the Saudis can't... no no he says we don't allow Saudi's into these things because with the classic Saudi that's actually Saudi Arabia, Saudi has never really been out of the country all they do is stand by the pool and ogle the girls in their bathing suits constantly. Yeah sounds about right! And its very disturbing to the women. No kidding

Timothy Perez, Residual Jobs Karma and Overseas Contracts

Producer Timothy Perez shares his experience with "residual jobs karma," noting that he received a promotion and a raise after intending to donate but failing to do so. After his work situation became unbearable, he decided to "backdate" his donations to secure a long-term contract renewal and avoid further bad luck.

jobs karma· overseas contract· donations· obama· raise

1:44:10 So I'm sure Fugazotto has the same story. Timothy Perez is next on the list, he's also overseas with $133 or I'm sorry, $333 flat out. ITM John Adams my first donation de-douche me! You've been de-douched I was hit in the mouth by a friend in April of 2018. I listened off and on for about six months, then I was hit with a heavy travel schedule for work. I was looking to find ways to fill time on some long-haul flights and became permanently hooked. I've learned a lot from your podcast and have benefited greatly from the shrinkage of the amygdala. However, there is a hysteria over the coronavirus that's threatening to reenlarge it to a degree

1:45:01 One of my biggest takeaways is that residual jobs karma is dangerous when I first started listening to your podcast. I was working with my company to secure a large multi-million dollar contract overseas if we want, I would have a key position on that contract in an ice race As the months went by and I began listening more often, I thought about donating but i never did. However, I thought let's test this jobs karma thing! I'll donate if we win will... We did win in June 2019. I was given a position I wanted and the raise I was looking for but I didn't donate." Uh-oh

1:45:39 As the first few months after winning went by, that job became almost unbearable and I was miserable. However, Reservatrol Jobs Karma came to the rescue again and in January 20th moved to another job given another raise and a cash bonus but i still haven't donated while greatly enjoying this new contract contract, it ends in a few months and we are fighting to get it renewed long term. So I will sit on my ass no further! It is time to donate and backdate all those times that I would have done it before. I need specific jobs karma directed toward me and securing this contract long-term. Please people do not rely on residual jobs karma. You do not know what you're going to get." No!

1:46:22 Donate today. Please give me an Obama, you might die that's true to the head followed by a little girl yay Also the strongest jobs karma you got keep up the good work Tim You might die That's true Jobs! Jobs and jobs Let's vote for jobs! Karma Can't get any stronger than a goat job karma And that's about the max I wonder what he does. Brian Boatwright, Lake City Florida $333 not the 333 donation for Brian Boatwright this is my second EP donation towards knighthood thanks for the excellent coverage of the Chinese coronavirus i hereby request a smoking hot milf girlfriend karma hopefully i find a dame in less than five in the five months it took sir steven

Sir Joel Blazek, Tesla Gigafactory and Trucking Industry

Sir Joel Blazek, a feeder driver for UPS in Reno, reports on the essential nature of the trucking industry during the pandemic. He also discusses the culture clash between American and Japanese workers at the Tesla Gigafactory, where Panasonic technicians are training local staff on battery production.

reno· ups· tesla· gigafactory· panasonic

1:47:21 and also health karma to get rid of this damn persistent and dry cough, which is probably just allergies right? Alright Brian I think you need that relationship karma or dame finding karma quick. That's one mother i'd like to have. You've got Karma And now Bum bum buh-bum bum bum bum bum bum. Oh, I'm so good but this time it wasn't...I wasn't good. Yeah you do yeah keep it going keep it going. Noseball! Wait, this is the one we want. Shit

1:48:15 That's not ants on the mic. Yeah, Nussbaum! NUSSBAUM! Say nussbaum. NUSSBAUM! Nussbaum! Nuuuussbaaaaaaaam! There we go that's what we wanted Sir Thomas Duke Grand Duke Thomas Nussbaum in Virginia Beach Virginia 314- Archduke! Archduke! Archduke! Is he an archduke? Okay, archduke. Note to self Don't rant on Twitter when drunk. I never proved to my stepmom microwaves don't poison food Others think there's an old man upstairs watching over us Love you guys when a bunch are getting that last check done Thank You Archduke Thomas Nussbaum speaking in code as always yes, well

1:49:14 We dive at dawn. Yes, Joel Blazek Reno Nevada. This is of course the Baron of Northern Nevada check out my podcast The Skinny Trucker. 303 is a donation thank you I'm new to this Check out my podcast the skinny trucker dot-com or on your favorite pod catcher app I have low production, but talk about how I keep it skinny on the road through a low-carb whole food keto way of eating. Go podcasting! As a feeder driver for Big Brown we have had multiple messages about how UPS is deemed essential for the country and our work schedules will continue as normal. I would suggest anyone who needs some work to check it out although our hiring process usually takes about a month or so. I understand Kroger Walmart and other food suppliers are hiring as well

1:50:03 The decrease in traffic around Reno has been calming. The closing of the ski resorts is troubling, not so much for the corporate-owned places but the smaller locally owned spots in Tahoe that just received the best snow of the season but will not get the spring break rush that should be going on right now as a problem There are also thousands of seasonal employees who are expecting to work through April at least. I don't forget the J-1 visa employees who come over from the Southern Hemisphere to fill in gaps. Meanwhile, instead of going out and buying more guns and ammo, I will donate this week! An excellent choice If I lived in LA during the riots, worked for American Airlines during 9-11 had my own bankruptcy and foreclosures in 2009 well this one will work itself out as well Please credit this donation to my smokin' hot keeper Asuka

1:50:47 She works at the Tesla Gigafactory just outside of Reno, but has been telecommuting this week. Before the pandemic there were concerns over whether Panasonic will be able to fulfill Tesla's battery needs for the Model 3." Yeah because basically Tesla repackages Panasonics batteries... "...Especially since the culture clash of the American and Japanese worth ethic has caused some issues with production..." Hmm Basically, I think to be honest about it. I think it's they're repackaging Panasonic batteries which are made in China for a Panasonic there you go. They could be wrong basically the night doubted sorry. Sorry going basically the American attitude is that's good enough and why do you got to keep looking over my shoulder? Well, the Japanese technicians training them just want the job done correctly so they don't have to fix problems and can go back home to their families in Japan

1:51:39 The 12-hour workdays are kind of tough too, so it looks like they will slow down as well as the Fremont plant is Suspending operations and we got to stop this crap John maybe sometime you can talk about the new me venture of GM and Toyota that failed in the 80s for the same reasons This American Life has a pretty good rundown of it titled Anumi, N-U-M-I. I make too much to get a bailout check but because i have no debt besides my mortgage and pretty well prepared to weather the storm so donate if you can support local businesses where you can keep ordering online because we are delivering how about trains good planes bad and a good old clippity-clop thanks for your courage Sir Joel and did he ask for karma as well in that or is just those two

And I smile last month after going to a doctor's appointment I came home and discovered my dog had killed my cat! Holy crap that's just dogs that good dogs will pack up which is a problem when you got a lot of dogs.

All right well we're sorry that karma has gone but here you go you still got it

CHAPTER 32 / 55 Discussion

Christopher Baylor, Childhood Virus Symptoms in December

Christopher Baylor from Wisconsin recounts how his children suffered from high fevers and persistent coughs in December and January. Despite the symptoms mirroring COVID-19, doctors at the time attributed the illness to a generic virus, raising questions about how long the coronavirus may have been circulating in the U.S.

wisconsin· fever· cough· children· december

1:55:31 You've got karma. Favorite number 23456, Christopher Baylor from Grafton Wisconsin. I feared my donation wasn't going to make it in time It's 1 30 here in the great state of Wisconsin But I think I'm saved by John being two hours behind actually I think it came in late. I'm not sure No, I think it came and just before otherwise you wouldn't be here at all because I was gonna skip it But I think I'm saved by John B. John, if not then Thursday's show is fine. I am going to apologize now for War and Peace but it is important to me and others to hear that it might save their kids' life." So we will read this of course this is the value that we expect from our executive and associate executive producers

1:56:13 I've never donated this level because, well you know, I'm cheap. I normally donate $6-$7.89 around family birthdays. I know John loves his numbers so I try to keep it the same. Anyways... A year ago I asked for some human resource karma my daughter was due in about two weeks and there were some signs of possible health issues but we wouldn't know until she was born I decided that i should shoot for a little human resource karma to make sure everything was A-OK. It was a scary time for us Four days later, on a show day...a Sunday My wife went into labor and gave birth to our third child Anya

1:56:50 She was and is perfectly healthy and the most amazing little girl a guy could ask for. Her big brothers are amazing, and love the de-douching clip! They also love calling people douchebags... yes get them going early. Working on that of course I tweeted a picture when Anya was born and you both had kind words thank you but just as amazing so did other producers No Agenda Producers are more than a tribe we are family and seriously People Karma Works On to COVID-19. I'm just finishing Thursday's show and it hit me what Adam said that others were sending him my oldest son and daughter had this in December, January My daughter was not as memorable since she couldn't tell us how she felt was getting teeth and also had an ear infection However they both had a crazy high fever And this odd cough that would not go away My son was out of school for weeks after Christmas break several other kids at his school Had it as well His doctor chalked it up to a quote virus and said let it run its course

1:57:46 He kept telling us he felt fine, he really seemed fine. Maybe running about at 80%, but as a six-year old he was still bouncing off the walls Now my other son did not get it and my wife May have had it but far less drastic. The kicker here is my mom in her 70s and mother-in-law in her 60's saw him several times since they helped watch him while we were at work Neither of them got sick now, obviously I cannot prove it was COVID 19 But it sure seems like the symptoms I hope all this passes quickly and people can get on with their lives My wife and I are stuck at home Working from home And our kids are here as well with no real end in sight and getting back to normal would be just great

1:58:23 Thank you both for all the work in this crazy time that you do. Can I get a little karma for myself, but also sprinkle it on the douchebags? Jingles number station Rubber Lizer with cruise missiles and pew-pew mixed in It's not like you're asking for anything special there cruise missiles and pew-pew mixed in In an over-the-top followed by Sanders, I'm king slash president of the world. It is too many clips It's actually I am the present. I have all the power if that's too much just a number station with pew pew Oh now you say it also birthday shout out to Anya on her first birthday Tuesday Thank you both sorry again for the long note Chris in Grafton Wisconsin

Bjorn Sandarklevin, TwinSim and Off-The-Grid Lifestyle

Bjorn Sandarklevin from Norway discusses his transition to an "off-the-grid" lifestyle by using a secondary SIM card (TwinSim) in an old Nokia phone. He advocates for owning physical music and devices like the Zune rather than relying on streaming services, while also requesting health karma for his parents.

norway· twinsim· nokia· zune· off-the-grid

1:59:46 is operational and not subject to COVID-19 related air traffic control restrictions. Could you please send over the updated 2020 NOA Agenda invisible hat to my brother, Jim? And please add him to the birthday list a little pew pew coincidence I think not A little pew pew and some goat karma for us all hunkered down producers out there. Here it is! Does he need a karma? He's getting it. There it is, the drone. Now we have Bill Cotter in New Brighton Minnesota 201 and he sent a note, literally handwritten and he says doing great job no jingles no karma but get my name correct last year you spelled with a K sorry

2:00:45 So there you go. That was it, short and sweet. Bjorn Sandarklevin in Norway is our last guy he says send a note to NOAgenda or from... I thought it was one of these that said he sent one to Adam. It's a $200 donation hopefully a conversion reflects that please read my note Okay, so it is let me see if I would look it up under Cleven C FK le V Oh Sandark. Look at him. I understand dark sand dark Ready to hit play the jingle no sure know that that's unlike a oh you mean that jingle? I'm sorry. I'm setting stuff up here It's Before you could even play this squirrel male jingle boom

2:01:45 From Handy, ITM Jentz says long time listener first-time donor please dedouche me. Boom! Okay You've been dedouched That's it? No Hardly Oh Going OTG is how I discovered your show hope this finds you well a decade ago I carried a Sony Ericsson feature phone with his and a Zune the Zune was dying dynamite It was good by the way I only jumped What it was great the zoom. It was a great device. It had a nice sound but it Was the least second? It was like you're the loser device of podcasting that's for sure Yes, well there's that so I only jumped to smartphone bang wagon when Windows phone hit the scene in 2012 actually came out in 2007 The years went by and downloading the podcast and mp3s gave way to streaming YouTube and Spotify premium by 2005 I was working for our company that supplied

2:02:39 Company iPhones, no doubt is slackification measures except we still use email. I reluctantly gave him my Windows phone and added app diversity only made my hedonistic habits worse by now as mandated to carry a wretched thing until one day spotted that colleague carrying an old Nokia phone. I asked her about it and she said for $2 monthly fee our company's carrier offered us second SIM card tied to the same phone number, incoming calls and texts could then be received by the two phones. I can be dialed or sent from either phone. I tried it myself and i strongly encourage any listeners who are considering the OTG lifestyle but are reluctant or simply unable to take the plunge to check out their carrier about this service. It's commonly known as TwinSim!

2:03:27 However, two things to be aware of. One if your OTG phone uses mini SIM make sure to ask for the old micro-SIM stock nano SIM chips don't always line up with the min sim contacts on the phone even with the appropriate plastic shell intact second The twin sim lifestyle is a gateway drug to full OTG living. I should know as i eventually asked the company to take their iPhone back, which they allowed! Now it's just me and my ever-growing collection of discarded candy bars that my family donates to me

2:04:05 So going that far, I decided to cancel my Spotify subscription and buy a new complimentary Zune. I vowed to buy music instead of renting it if it's worth listening to its worth owning people! I also resubscribed to the podcast I listened to but was aghast to find that one John C. DeVorek was no longer on Twit John cynical take was the only reason I listened to that show. It worried me that he may have retired I looked him up on the book of knowledge and found that he's been laid off in disgrace But then it was hosting a finance show and a political analysis show both of which sounded pretty dull Nailed it still I gave them both shows as chance And whilst the first was a bit too inside baseball, the latter was also inside baseball but in a way I wanted to get in on it

2:04:56 The amount of enthusiasm, I'm assuming that's this show. The amount of enthusiasm and humor the two of you exhibited was infectious and I was very blown away by your lengthy three hour bi-weekly output but I've never seen such a long form production before which makes your business model all the more impressive. Adam, I was not familiar with but his excitable and lively demeanor it was any as a perfect foil to John's deadpan style I'm the, she's calling me the straight man. The two of you work very well together but if the bickering can become slightly uncomfortable at times it is not fun to hear mommy and daddy fighting over a diving sword. Yeah blah blah we don't care yeah but its price worth paying for in such an unrehearsed show. That's the point! It's unrehearsed exactly Okay so no continues now I am going to stop and read any requests for jingles

2:05:52 I hope this helps, it's a health karma and I'd like to request a big health karma from mom and pop aside from that fair bit of chronic pain that our wonderful Norwegian healthcare system has been unable or uninterested in helping either of them with even though before the Kung Flu outbreak they were quite vulnerable to the virus. So give them a health karma we'll be good with this. Oh one more thing after the karma tell you what it is You've got karma March 31st first firth put him on the birthday list. So give him a birthday call Yeah, you could have done that Okay I couldn't not done it well and there but I could have I could have done this during Believe me if you say it's a wall of text okay? And when is his birthday the 31st of March okay?

Michelle Cartmel, Anniversary Karma and Knighthood Surprise

Michelle Cartmel donated $271 to surprise her husband, Adriel, with a knighthood for their 16th wedding anniversary. The couple is currently celebrating while stuck indoors due to both COVID-19 restrictions and a recent bout of food poisoning that left Adriel bedridden.

anniversary· knighthood· food poisoning· canada· marriage

2:06:56 That's on there. And actually we have one more because it's Michelle Cartmel, $181. However this donation was 271 dollars and 59 cents Canda-navian. Ah! It was our 16th wedding anniversary on March 20. Instead of waiting until June to donate for his birthday, I figured for the show's sake, I would bump up my donation time to now instead! We could sure use some anniversary karma. Adriel came down with some type of food poisoning, so not only we were stuck inside from COVID-19 but also because he quite literally could not move from the couch. Amazing timing I must say! Happy Anniversary to the best husband in the universe

2:07:44 This donation also officially brings him to knighthood. This will be a surprise to him, so please place his knighthood in abeyance until he chooses the Knight name Thank you Adam and John for the twice weekly sanity Absolutely! What a beautiful gesture thank you so much Michelle congratulations You've got karma To you and Adriel Excellent I know it's a special time So these longer notes are nice But try to keep them short people Yeah It's a little shorter The deal is we'll read them but So yes, we will be doing another eight hour show today. So we get everything out I have to mention something Can it close the segment or do you want to do it before? We do that? Let's do what is about this segment

2:08:29 We had an earlier one where he had the two guys with a pew-pew, it was like a coincidence. There's one that's in the second half where we have a coincidence with the two exact same donations and exact same requests for $133 dollars... I just want to mention this random number thing. They don't know each other they're both exactly the same donations, the same requests, and they're both from Texas from different parts of Texas. Nice! Just was like and they came in bang-bang. It was like what this is crazy by request I will give Michelle and Adriel the swazzle enough karma actually goat karma and an LG why for their anniversary 69

2:09:19 And thank you all of our executive and associate executive producers for supporting the show. This is exactly what we needed because it's gonna get tough in, well hopefully I'm still looking at April 6th. I feel very good about that based upon what we're seeing today and how people are moving away from death and destruction into just blaming Orange Man bad so they must know something otherwise they're complete idiots And we'll be thanking more people in the second half. Please remember us for, of course another show which will do on Thursday just go to... Dvorak dot org slash N A and you know what to ask for if it ever does get approved it may save lives! Our formula is this We go out, we hit people in the mouth It's very scary

CHAPTER 35 / 55 Discussion

Bay Area Police, Modified Enforcement and Speed Traps

A police officer in the San Francisco Bay Area reports that departments have moved to "modified enforcement," meaning traffic stops and transient contacts have largely ceased to prevent the spread of the virus. Similar reports from Washington State indicate that speed traps are inactive, allowing for significantly faster travel times to airports.

bay area· police· traffic violations· washington state· jay inslee

2:10:22 Shut up! Coronavirus, if the Wuhan flu doesn't kill you then media panic will. Now do whatever the government tells you to do I have a yes. I love that it's still good. No what? I want to read from a Bay Area cop Ah, yes We got a couple of similar notes But this is a good one I've been at times since I've emailed you guys has been the time The show is absolutely awesome by the way And I'm propagating the formula in overdrive due to Corona madness going on up my donation to 49 99 a month and I hope to get my knighthood soon. If you guys use any of this, keep me anonymous. I am a cop!

2:11:07 and a medium-sized Bay Area agency. I like the way they use agency for the police department nowadays, most of all of the police departments have been put on some sort of modified enforcement directions meaning at this time no one is getting stopped for traffic violations or drunk driving if you can find them are typical dealings with transients that have been put to a stop as we usually go out and find the ones that have warrants or possessing drugs, etc. And then take care of them. Our departments have decided they don't want us catching spreading the virus around so many cops are working

2:11:46 so many cops are working in what I would call a holding pattern, only responding to emergency type calls. That being said if we can handle things over the phone we will but if it involves needing a cop to physically show up we will unless something changes. We've had absolutely no direction from the upper heads about enforcing any kind of stay-at-home order frankly there are too many people walking around going to work getting their food and going about their business. Frankly, because all you have to do is just say you're going into the store frankly so the cops aren't gonna stop ya. Frankly many cops are just irritated that the days off are being canceled and then we have to wipe ourselves and the insides of our cars with numerous chemicals before and after our shifts which seems ludicrous if you ask me

2:12:39 A lot of us are anticipating the at home staying trend continuing. Couples are going to start boozing and beefing as is the American way we're told, if we're still stay home I'll definitely report if something interesting comes along now I will mention this Mimi took a friend in the airport she's up in Washington But she's reporting from Washington about all the craziness up there because of the maniac Governor Jay Inslee, who is called in on global warming and he thinks that we should put borders between the counties of his state. And they're even thinking about stopping traffic from Oregon to Washington. She made a record time drive to the airport. There was no traffic

2:13:26 And so that means they're not enforcing the speeding laws, which are... Washington State for anyone who doesn't know this if you ever traveled up there should know that it's one giant speed trap. And so she was just doing 70 and she says she got back from the airport in two hours flat- Go Mimi! opposed to three and a half which it normally takes in normal traffic. And it's just the dream come true for people who have to go someplace. So I've received similar emails from Philadelphia, from Illinois also we have a lot of police officers who listen to the show. I can imagine it's a lot more exciting on The Stakeouts to listen us

Baltimore Mayor Jack Young, Gun Violence Plea

Baltimore Mayor Jack Young issued a public plea for citizens to stop shooting each other, citing the need to keep hospital beds available for potential coronavirus patients. He warned that violence would not be tolerated and that medical resources must be reserved for the elderly and those infected with the virus.

2:14:07 But same thing, cleaning. Don't really you know if you can avoid interacting with the public which is exactly the opposite of what the police do yeah please don't arrest... Exactly holding pattern they're really not gonna do anything they're not gonna go after anything small and it's so bad in Baltimore we talked about on the last show but now I got the clip Mayor Jack Young is It's like where were you when the crime and the killings started years ago, Mayor Jack? Thank you all for your hard work and dedication to the people of Baltimore. I've also asked Commissioner Harrison to join us today to provide a public safety update before we hear from the commissioner. I want to reiterate how completely unacceptable the level of violence is that we have seen recently. We will not stand for mass shootings and increasing crime

2:15:01 We will not stand for this level of violence and I've instructed Commissioner Harrison to do everything in his power to combat this crime. We're dealing with the COVID virus, and those of you who want to continue... It's the COVAVIRUS! ...to shoot and kill people in this city we're not going to tolerate it. Hey, it's okay if we don't have the COVAVIRUS but today NO SHOOTING AND KILLING PEOPLE!!! You who want to continue shoot and kill people in this city. We're not going to tolerate it, we're gonna come after you and we're gonna get you! We cannot clog up our hospitals with their beds with people who are being shot senselessly because we're gonna need those beds for people who might be infected with the COVID virus uh coronavirus and it could be your mother your grandmother or one of your relatives so take that into consideration and put down the guns yeah that'll do it mayor that'll do it that will tell them

Public Morale, Alcohol Delivery and Small Business Ingenuity

While some report a "happiness vibe" from people enjoying time away from work, others observe growing cabin fever. In Texas, restaurants have pivoted to curbside pickup and alcohol delivery to stay afloat, while some specialty shops, like cupcake bakeries, have begun baking fresh bread to meet local demand.

He's horrible that is that is just it's a head shaker very real head shaker I want to mention something else which the Jay and Nick have been sneaking out to go play basketball or walk the dog and other things they see there's a lot of people out It's not like normal, it's just abnormally small amount of people But but the people are and they commented on this and they keep and I've talked to Mimi about she's noticing the same thing That everybody that's out floating around are so happy, they said. They just seem happy now my thinking is they're happy that they're- Out of the house? Not at work! Oh okay I'm thinking this because oh my god I hate my job and i think a lot of people just take their job and they're just happy to be away from it but Mimi believes as they're happy because there's no traffic

2:16:47 swarms of people. It's just a minor thing and but there seems to be a happiness going on that's really unaccounted for yeah I don't see that, i see quite the opposite People are starting to go stir crazy There is not enough information they're very worried They are insanely, insanely scrolling through social media which is the ultimate way to get sick from something else besides the Rona It's really not healthy and of course we're around young people who are all out of work, every single one of them. And then they hope to go back to work maybe April 3rd or April 6th... Hey but that person came from overseas on vacation she wasn't... it just there is not enough information I do not get this happiness vibe at all! We'd go out

2:17:43 We're not on lockdown, you know, cower in place. But we go out and... I thought you were! I thought Texas closed the state? No way! So all the restaurants are running everything's fine? The restaurants are all doing curbside pickup there's about 20 of them and so we order from them if they're not cooking at home They say that as they still had to let part-time staff go but it's keeping them afloat So that the ingenuity is really coming from the people themselves. We have a cupcake shop here called sugar mama's cakes and cupcakes They too had to Cut back on their part-time staff But what they're doing is they're now converting to also be baking bread Because it's harder to get fresh bread, and you know people are still doing some hoarding obviously but I think that the stay at home is

2:18:38 I think it's starting to bother people and i'm quite sure that just like our officer said there, you know people are gonna... what was the term he used? Hangin' and bangin'? It was something. Boozin' and fightin'. Yeah boozing and yeah so think oh that is what Texas did do We've allowed alcohol deliveries. You can do a lot in Texas, you can shut us down but if you cut us off from alcohol you got real problems so the alcohol deliveries are now possible

CHAPTER 38 / 55 Discussion

Economic Stimulus Package, Stock Buybacks and Oil Prices

Congress is debating a $2 trillion stimulus package, with a major point of contention being President Trump's demand that companies receiving aid be forbidden from using funds for stock buybacks. Analysts also note that the recent market crash was triggered more by the Saudi-Russian oil price war than by the pandemic itself.

stimulus· stock buybacks· nancy pelosi· oil prices· saudi arabia

2:19:17 In the broader sense of this, and I want to ask you a few questions or maybe you can just provide some answers on your looking at it. Where we're at right now is where's just an overview of the money on March 6 8.3 billion dollars was appropriated that has to be that was by request by Schumer Senator Schumer it was much lower He wanted much higher, 8.3. That had to be spent within 30 days hence my April 6 prediction and I think we're still reasonably on track if not for the financial and economic reasons people will start hurting each other it's this is not what people are used to anymore in this life

2:20:02 So he's looking at a two trillion dollar package which will be done in two different... oh and we had the gimme to the Democrats, which was the family first act of 50 billion. Which keeps food stamps going for children who rely on school for their breakfast and made Nancy Pelosi look really important and good for half-a second there so now you get into this 2 tranches which should equal $2 trillion It's held up on one thing at this point as far as I can tell, and that is Trump wants to put in this bill that the companies who also receive money because it won't just be checks to everybody. It will be money to essential industries

2:20:48 He wants it to be forbidden that they use it for buybacks and he's very disappointed in some of the companies who used his tax cut for repatriation of their money, to do buybacks. And when you do a buyback the company buys the stock which drives the price up and the only people who benefit are the people already hold the stock typically shareholders and insiders such as the executives themselves And that seems to be a point of contention, which gives me another clue that there's bull crap going on. Why would any company say well now we've got to enrich ourselves with that money? We can't just keep it for the American people so I'm skeptical of that and then the final thing which i'd like us to remember The markets did not crash on the coronavirus news The markets crashed because of the oil price

2:21:39 And I don't understand why that's not being discussed. It's just over there, Trump says from time to time, hey we got cheap prices it's good for everybody yeah we're not driving anywhere thanks fool What is going on? If if if its just Saudi Arabia We know Trump can put in a call and say yo MBS was up stop that what is going on and why are we forgetting that thats what tanked the market Well was the straw that tanked the market it was it was a $2,000 2,000 point straw is what it was. That was not I'm saying their oil crisis was the last straw now The oil crisis came quickly we had a down day it would follow this We had a down day went up then then over the weekend We had the oil price and then all bets were off and it just tank for everything But it was the oil

Financial Market Reset, Amazon and Retail Consolidation

Speculation regarding a "big reset" of financial markets continues as the Federal Reserve injects trillions into the repo market. Jim Cramer and other analysts suggest the pandemic may lead to a permanent consolidation of retail, leaving Amazon, Walmart, and Costco as the dominant survivors in the American economy.

goldman sachs· amazon· walmart· costco· repo market

2:22:36 War whatever that is you don't hear about it. No one's reporting on it Can anyone say hey Saudi Arabia Russia work it out because that's we've been told I so I'm getting calls from everywhere This is the big reset this is they're gonna reset the financial markets And I'm here to tell you no and the reason why is easily explained with help from the former New York banker There's still money to be made in growth, and he still wrote me last night He still believes in the V recovery With the technology companies leading the way and that's being supported almost everywhere in a kind of oh wouldn't it be horrible kind of way, but when it comes to online ordering fulfillment telemedicine work at home slack zoom All of these different what is it two citrix all of these different companies that are benefiting from this

2:23:31 It's very hard to believe that some of this isn't done to get a great ride on the way back up again. Wasn't he the one who said that we should keep an eye on Goldman Sachs because everyone's gonna hit the hardest and they're gonna be out, done. Yes, and I'm still waiting for...I'll ask him again about that because that was the repo market that they were pumping all... And now they put in a trillion-and-a-half dollars into the overnight lending into the repo market. That's typically done in non-crisis times and they've done several hundred billion is because there's a weak brother amongst us and he was hinting to me that that was Goldman Sachs.

2:24:11 So, something has to give somewhere in that regard. Here's MSNBC crack analyst Kramer. Amazon people are out of their bunkers. The analysts have been waiting I think for one update to be able to say some good things and what is remarkable is there just a chorus of people saying you gotta buy Amazon. That the world has changed forever that people realize they can buy... This by the way is what the New York banker told me he bought was Amazon many more things on Amazon than you thought. I mean, I got home last night there were four packages from Amazon that my wife ordered and all sorts of things that we would just normally have just gone down the street to a Rite Aid or Walgreens and why? Because we don't want to be where there's crowds! And so Amazon is the anti-

2:24:54 crowd retailer. By the way, Amazon and Walmart both announced hiring. Walmart announced a spectacular bonus plan. You know what I think these have to do? David we come out of this sooner than other small businesses can open if we come out of this later David there's going to be three retailers in this country there's gonna be Amazon there's gonna be Walmart it's gonna be Costco And that is something the government cannot afford to have happen. If it comes out that those are the three, can you imagine David what is means for this country to just have 3 retailers? Why is he even thinking like this? This on his mind and its on lots of people's minds

2:25:32 And they're going to get some of that. It's obvious that some places will, for whatever reason they were already having a tough go of it from the likes of Amazon etc., online retail food delivery instead of people going out They're not going to come back it is going to hurt That's going to cost jobs and these cocksuckers I'm sorry They're just sitting there like whoa what happened then? By the way! I love it no crowds Screw these guys It has to be over by April 6th, they wouldn't be so cavalier. There's something... we didn't get the memo Well Trump did have a hint I don't have the clip I kind of wished i didn't have it I don't think maybe I have it but he said that he is expecting to be lot of people gonna get rich when the bottom is struck He mentioned this couple times actually and

Telework Challenges, Cabin Fever and Economic Recovery

While some predict a V-shaped economic recovery, others warn that the sudden shift to telework will be a disaster for those unaccustomed to the discipline required. Long-term isolation in small apartments is expected to lead to increased domestic stress and "cabin fever" if lockdowns extend beyond early April.

telework· cabin fever· v-shaped recovery· newsletter· productivity

2:26:31 I mean, I think there's going to be a lot of buying opportunities. But I'm not talking more about the economics and not the market itself? Well, I do but the marketed is like a reflection it's always a reflection in and if I don't see a V and I don't see one coming, I don't see any chance of it. I think if there's gonna be a V is gonna be a minor Kind of a pullback is gonna go back up a little bit. It's gonna get back to this where it looks like the 1900 or 19,000 looks like a really nice bottom work and sitting and Stew for awhile Okay But how about too much money being taken out of the economy by people that are there part-time workers? And everybody they should be spending money They won't have any money but here's what because of the lack of information and also the lack of hope seems like hope has just gone out the door if

2:27:22 There are people, you know I still have Willow in Italy who hears you know 800 people died yesterday in In Italy although they count everyone who dies in the hospital not just those of coronavirus So yeah well there's even though once they say have a corona virus apparently those numbers are exaggerated. It's still it It's not nice when you are on lockdown sitting home and she's now almost two weeks into it You know, there is so little hope and we cannot keep this going beyond two weeks. People will start to get cabin fever and you know the experiences you and I have are not typical that they're families living in little apartments and they got the kids there and it's stressful and you know oh dad's gotta do teleworking and the kids are yammering or it's stressful

2:28:20 This is not good. This, this...this is the part that worries me the most and can we- Well, the essay I finished is going to be released tomorrow if anyone's on a newsletter list they will get a link to it immediately. Uh, this is a good reason to be in the newsletter It discusses the home work telework phenomenon, because I've been doing it for a lot longer than anybody I know. And I've concluded and I've changed my attitude about telework which became the key word for awhile in the 90s. Oh, telework is where you use the word telework because there was telecommute before that

2:28:56 And I used to give actually even speeches, public speeches about how great it is. Why save all the money? Who needs these big tall office buildings? I was all in on the whole thing and over time I've come to realize that it's extremely difficult for most people, they can't do it. This whole idea of working from home sounds good on paper but most people don't have a clue how to do it, they don't know how to organize themselves to do it and you'll be explained I think is pretty, not that long of an essay couple thousand words and my conclusion was this is a disaster this whole working from home thing that's why say blood in the streets because at some point

2:29:39 Can't they just be it's not that easy to work from home unless you have done it for a long time It takes over I'd say two years of doing it before you get the hang of it and there is a hang-of-it Mechanism, that's all I have to say Second half of show stuff. Let's see Of course, the conspiracy theories are abound in these times and I feel that is usually my beat to keep an eye on them make sure that whatever's going on is reported. So we had several things take place during yesterday's briefing this was oh very funny but again I don't understand why were you cracking these jokes when there's real

CHAPTER 41 / 55 Discussion

Mike Pompeo, Live Exercise Comment and Trump Reaction

A video of Secretary of State Mike Pompeo referring to the pandemic response as a "live exercise" has sparked online conspiracy theories. While some interpret this as code for a planned drill, others clarify that President Trump's background comments were directed at China's failure to provide early warnings about the outbreak.

2:30:25 fear and uneasiness amongst millions of people. It's so not helpful It's dumb. It's just dumb You know save the shtick for another time and and that's gonna be his downfall of anything because this cavalier attitude is not working Even though normally I'd find that hilarious then here's I'm gonna play this video as it was posted on YouTube verbatim And I caught this too when Pompeo said it

2:31:16 And what Trump said after that, I think this YouTuber heard incorrectly but this spun around the internet really fast. You may have listened to this video already but i want you to listen again This time I have a little better sound and I want you to pay very close attention to what he says Pompeo says this is a live exercise And what you'll hear in the background is Donald Trump say, You should have let us know. So again I'm going to let it play over a couple times so you can hear it. It's very interesting take a listen. This is not about retribution

2:31:57 This matters going forward. We're not we're live Exercise here to get this right We need to make sure that even to know where a live exercise here to get this, right? We were no we're alive Exercise here to get this right. We we were no we're alive Exercise here to get this right All right So you get the idea and I just want debunked this because I know exactly what Trump said there is Obviously when Pompeo says we're in a live exercise here, that can also be seen as code for it was a drill and it went live. We've seen this many times which would presume a fried fish or false flag as you would call it What Trump says is not you should have let us know because that's now the theory Oh! It was a live exercise they didn't inform Trump and I got out of control about no

Adrenochrome Conspiracy, Tom Hanks and QAnon Theories

The "Q" conspiracy group has circulated theories involving "adrenochrome," a substance allegedly harvested by elites from children. A new claim suggests that a batch of the drug was booby-trapped with the coronavirus, leading to the high-profile infections of celebrities like Tom Hanks, who is currently in quarantine in Australia.

adrenochrome· tom hanks· qanon· pedophiles· conspiracy

2:32:56 He continuously says they should have let us know. He is continuously saying China didn't let us know, that's what he's saying so I'm just gonna call that debunked. Yeah yeah that thing is it's out of context I've got the same clip but with the same analysis So here's here's the one that is right up my alley fits with the thousands of sealed indictments and people are taking this one very seriously. I won't hit it all but, and this comes from the Q group mainly we are in total lockdown because Trump is now arresting all the pedophiles around the world. This is a good one! But it gets better

2:33:46 So the new one is adrenochrome. Are you familiar with adrenochrome? Yeah, that's what the... You scare children and then you suck their juices out and then you get this adrenochrome which makes it live longer and stay younger. Yes! And that's why Hollywood elites eat babies and drink their blood Now that's not The Conspiracy Theory I'm just stating it as fact now let's go to The Conspiracy Theory Is that...? You'll love this Because it crosses one of ours. The theory is, one of the dealers of this... what's it called again? Endochrome? No. Adrenochrome! One of the dealers because it's the most wanted drug amongst the elites in the Hollywood VIPs. Bastards They loaded one of those samples with coronavirus

2:34:39 Oh, I didn't hear this one. And that was the booby trap! The booby trap was... and that's why Tom Hanks is in lockdown in Australia because he of course drank the booby-trapped children blood and got the coronavirus And so there's these maps that overlays the coronavirus outbreaks and you see they're identical to where all of the people are going to be arrested. People are very into this theory, very very serious. I hope none of our listeners have really taken it too seriously. The troll room has been full of it! Of course! The troll room is always full of it!

2:35:21 But I don't want to make light of people because a lot of people have hope. They really believe this, but I'm gonna have to let you down. I really don't see it. There's just so much out there about this adrenochrome and then all these different celebrities or Jones' because they can't get their fix It's fantastic I forgot the point. You had something when you were talking about Tom Hanks or something, and then I lost track of it... Well no, I know exactly what I'm going to lead you into. We're gonna talk about how Hollywood has taken their studios into their basements they've all become bad podcasters but I thought it would be fun just take a little break

Celebrity COVID-19 Updates, Idris Elba and Jimmy Fallon

Celebrities including Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson, Idris Elba, and Kevin Durant have provided public updates on their coronavirus diagnoses. Meanwhile, late-night hosts like Jimmy Fallon are attempting to produce shows from home using laptops and fake applause, a move some critics find unnecessary and poorly executed.

One week after their coronavirus diagnosis Tom Hanks along with wife Rita Wilson are updating fans on their road to recovery with Hank's signature sense of humor Good news!

Like all the other unicorns Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Garner among the celebs I don't think i can take it anymore, It's too much It's too much and its all paid for and nothing has changed in that regard But what gets me is we got Jimmy Fallon doing his monologue from home I don't have any clips of it so bad. He's doing his monologue from home and doing the show from home with a laptop that he pushes buttons on, it gets fake applause and laughter And its like why are we wasting our time? Just show some old reruns. Meanwhile...

PBS NewsHour, Remote Broadcasting and Technical Failures

Mainstream news outlets are struggling with the transition to remote broadcasting, as seen in Harry Sreenivasan's PBS NewsHour segments from his basement. Despite having access to professional equipment, the segments have been criticized for poor audio quality, "Skype warble," and the obvious use of teleprompters in a home setting.

pbs newshour· harry sreenivasan· skype· green screen· prompter

2:38:35 What? We can do a... we can do an audience track. It would be just as bad now so I'm watching Saturday to pick up some content for the show, listen Harry Sreenivasan is doing the PBS News Hour on Saturday from his basement This is so over-the-top It's incredibly stupid. But let's listen to this, I got a three part clip because he gets some freaky nurse on who is on Skype and that's what you were bitching about curiously earlier when I had this scary clip and you immediately recognized the Skype warble And it was like, he's not mic'd right? He's using a webcam Oh boy... And it sounds like crap but looks like crap And they're putting that on PBS

2:39:32 Yes, like like the regular show Yeah And and he has a green screen or actually as a wall behind him but he but he Keeped it. And so he's got like a background It looks like it looks like Russian that the way it looks at the worst kind of Russian TV from this 60s It's actually very interesting to see how incapable mainstream is making do with very little Now we've done this show on a shoestring budget and if the whole setup has cost more than 1500 bucks total at any given time, it's a lot. And you know we've been around and know how to do it...and these guys they fall apart!

2:40:16 They don't know what to do with it. They don't know how, they don't know what's best practices are and I guess they're not mic'd right? They're micing themselves. John, I have to think they're doing this on purpose. They're doing this on purpose there is no...I mean there's plenty you can send a crew over the crew would gladly set it up if Jimmy Fallon is not sick test everybody whatever you need to do I'm sorry This is, this is Hollywood man. This is being done for a reason it's almost as bad as Alex Jones being like I'm in my bunker locked in blah blah It's like that! It's insulting we know you can do better than that No...it's now a form or some

2:41:10 Some for it's and it sounds like crap and I don't be I can't believe these guys take pride in this list is no hurry and the freaky nurse. And this is the two of them going on a got three clips I don't even know if I need the let's play the whole thing cuz it just She's he's on there on Skype. He said his base man He's got a lousy mic rig and this is the this is network television Supposedly, but listen to this under immense pressure health care workers are bracing themselves for an expected deluge of coronavirus cases NewsHour weekend special correspondent Carla Morthy spoke with dr Alexis Langsfield who works in an emergency room at a New York City Hospital about her personal experience not on behalf of the hospital now Is she reading a prompter?

2:41:58 I would like to know because this sounds like it was definitely a read. I'm wondering if he's looking straight in the camera, because then i'm going to call double bull crap. He is looking at the camera so you might have... So he's got a prompter? I'm calling triple bull crap on this! You bring in a prompter?! Prompter is one of the hardest things to do if you've never set it up before yourself I agree. So you're telling me he's got a prompter, but yet they can't mic him? It's horrible audio... nah nah nah. You're right it all sounds like he's in a- This is stage man. Yeah fuck it! Alright so they cut to this girl and this freelancer who was talking with the- okay

Dr. Alexis Langsfield, PPE Shortages and Healthcare Fear

Emergency room doctor Alexis Langsfield spoke with PBS about the critical shortage of personal protective equipment (PPE) in New York hospitals. She expressed fear over the rising number of young patients and the personal toll of being separated from her family to work indefinite shifts during the surge.

alexis langsfield· pbs· ppe· insurance companies· nursing

2:42:37 So they cut it to a freelancer, another one who instead of him doing the interview the freelancer does the interview and she has almost the same voice as this freaky nurse from New York who is just like a hillbot out of control. Her hair's every which way she's got scared like deer in headlight look and she's freaked out! And she almost starts crying at the end of this whole interview Well, you'll hear it. You can hear it in her voice and then I got another clip after this woman of Brooks pretty much going into tears. Okay. Obviously things are changing day by day hour by hour and we're also seeing a lot of reports that there's just not enough protective equipment and safety equipment for health care workers. There is absolutely not enough protective gear

2:43:28 Oh, by the way this is the trend. This is what we're all saying there's not enough PPE PPE PPE There's not enough of the first Healthcare worker to die Trump will have blood on his hands. You can just take it from me We're wrapping up supplies as fast they possibly can even by the end of every shift we're out of gowns or we're out of We're out of bleach wipes were out of all the things that we need in order to maintain a clean and sterile workplace And I'm sorry I just have to say it again, hospitals are completely managed by the insurance companies. The insurance companies they don't reimburse for individual operations they say hey hospital we're gonna give you 800 billion dollars this year you figure out how you bill everybody for it they are the ones that keep the supply lines tight since the 90s there the ones that said we got to be more efficient less hospital beds

2:44:24 So let's take a look at where the real problem, the genesis of the problem is insurance companies A. for your cost and B. for your just-in-time supply lines which are falling flat right now? A lot of the emergency rooms... And people expecting that government has to have that all fixed up for you No no no Trump Let's blame the right people Not have doors You know a lot of places there are open spaces with curtains in between and those aren't places where it's safe to have people cohorted So we're trying as fast as possible to actually divide the ER into multiple sections so that we can keep non-respiratory patients safe. What are your biggest concerns in terms of keeping yourself safe and your family safe? My biggest concerns are that now, we're beginning to see that young people are getting sick too. The scariest thing here is that initially we thought this was a disease of older people and people with preexisting conditions And as horrible it sounds I can handle that

2:45:19 But now that we're finding 30 and 40 year olds that are coming down with it just as severely, just as quickly. Just as fiercely is much scarier to try and protect myself And where does she work? What are her credentials again? She's a nurse at one of the big hospitals in New York Shes really only talking about herself You think I'm afraid of not coming home to my kids and my husband and im afraid them getting it me no being with them and not being able to protect them. I'm in a situation now where I've decided that i'm gonna pick up more shifts, and I'm dropping my family off outside of the city and going back into the city to pick up more shifts and work When we made these decisions it seemed like I still personally wouldn't be at much risk but now we just don't know

2:46:10 So with the lack of personal protective equipment and with the worst of a disease still to come, knowing that everything is you know we're just at the beginning of that steep incline. Man this deep incline comes from increased testing! That's where we get it from. This is a fear monger. You think? The whole PBS News Hour group is a bunch of fear mongers, although they're taking it serious. I don't think they're doing it out of evil intent as a fear monolith. No, they're doing because it's horny to them

2:46:52 Yes, yes they get off on this. This you know when I went to Iraq with the radio show I admit fully there was a an element of holy crap we're going into a war zone look at me the big hero You know, and that's what this woman ends up saying about herself in the last of the clips. That steep incline it's very scary. I just don't know. I can tell them that i'm going to do the very best to protect myself and then I have to do what has to be done because people need my help but I can't really promise them it's all gonna be okay when you drop them off

2:47:31 Do you know when you're going to see them again? It's not really clear. Depending on how things go, if they close off the roads, if they change things, if I'm more needed than is really an indefinite stay. I will stay and work as long as I need it and can work so if the population of needy patients picks up enough that I am needed around the clock in the hospital, There you go. Everyone in the media getting a Corona boner from this, we're in the basement look how innovative we are it reminds me of CNN golf war round one where they're downstairs the cameras rocking were being bombarded was all green screen or that one guy there I forgot what his nickname was but he's always ducking

Stock Act, Congressional Insider Trading Allegations

Senators Richard Burr, Kelly Loeffler, and Dianne Feinstein are facing scrutiny for selling significant amounts of stock following private coronavirus briefings in January. While the Stock Act of 2012 was intended to curb insider trading in Congress, critics argue the law's reporting requirements are easily bypassed through non-digital filing systems.

2:49:09 This is selling the stock. Oh, this is a scandal. This is set that up because we've been tracking this in well it's not really insider trading We've been tracking this government stock trading for almost since the beginning of the show and we went through the Stock Act which didn't get rid of this capability but put some dumb little things in place. The Stock Act was mostly about reporting, yes in the basement, that came out in 2012 and then the next year immediately they took to reporting because you had to report on your website

2:49:46 Yeah, any transactions stock transactions but they were all legal there are still legal you could trade on Information explain the problem first explain what's going down because this this is going to be big news It already kind of is but it's going to propagate And what's interesting about it is there are mainly Republicans but also two Democrats involved in these allegations. And Feinstein is involved and they don't mention her ever? Well, yes they do but Fox News mentions her you know how it goes. Trump even did this he said well that's interesting you mentioned to Republican senators you didn't mention Dianne Feinstein that shit makes me crazy at this point stop it all of you!

2:50:30 Remember, that's not well you can complain all you want. Yeah we have guns so the idea is the ideas this is that it turns out that if you're in Congress or if you're even working in a congressional office You can trade stocks on proposed legislation and an information that you find out in the process of legislating You can trade and say crazy as it sounds ladies and gentlemen as crazy as it sounds The only way to stop something like this is to prohibit all stock market trading and they just refuse to do it.

2:51:05 And so they had the, they created something called the Stock Act which was because it was out of control and during the Bush and before that Clinton administration this sort of thing. People got wind of it. So they came up with this phony baloney stock act which is really... It sounds like you can't do it anymore but in fact it really involves more reporting than anything else and they even have a in addition to the act of amendment that they put in. So you, the reporting has to be private and in the basement of the library of Congress in the basement, you're not allowed to make it into Congress itself. I don't think as a library of Congress, I think is in the basement of Congress but you're not allowed to make digital copies. You can take in a cell phone if you have to write this, you have to write everything down that you, the information you get there. It's, it is the biggest scam

2:51:55 Well, one of the biggest scams in our government is this and that hey they're all millionaires up there. How does it happen? So they so it's legal yeah most of it with rare exceptions It's totally legal But everyone made a big stink because a bunch of guys got busted cuz some smart reporter got off his ass He was bored stiff and went better to do we've been looking at this for a decade like oh whoa man They got a briefing and they trend they sold their stock Oh Even though as you point out the beginning of the show this market didn't really collapse when they got the briefing or even shortly thereafter, or even when the coronavirus was announced. They could have sold their stock they had a long time to sell their stock because it was that oil crisis that triggered and they didn't get a briefing on that. Nope well not that we know not that we know

CHAPTER 47 / 55 Discussion

David Brooks, Social Solidarity and Emotional Response

Columnist David Brooks appeared on PBS from Annapolis, appearing visibly emotional while discussing the need for "social solidarity" and leadership empathy. He praised the acts of regular people helping the elderly but expressed deep concern over the low levels of trust in American institutions during the crisis.

david brooks· pbs· social solidarity· empathy· annapolis

2:52:46 Well, even if they did. This whole thing was because of the timing. They sold their stock before the oil crisis. That would be the time. So they probably didn't know and if they did it's a good thing to me so meanwhile there are the media gets all bent out of shape about it and they started being accusatory and they're very upset about it. And so we have but before I've got two clips on this I got Mark shields going on about it, and then Brooks going into tears. But I want to play the very opening of Brooks on PBS—this is a 56-second clip—this is Brooks nervous. Brooks who's supposed to represent the Republicans or you know he's just another Democrat but

2:53:33 He is so nervous and upset. He's gonna go into tears throughout this whole thing, he's remote...he's in Annapolis oh my god what a horrible place to be an Annapolis doing it remotely and he is scared to death I just want you see if you can hear the nervousness in his voice David how do make sense of this? You know things going on that I think most of us could never have imagined Yeah, I sort of have a split-screen reaction to this. When you talk about regular people and how they're acting...I think it's been a remarkably good week and an uplifting week on the whole This is something even though we're separated It's something we are all going through together And were having the same experiences and undergoing the same anxieties In a weird way we had to be put apart in order to feel together

2:54:18 And there are so many acts I've heard about or communicated with and heard about of people helping elderly in their apartment buildings, about people having virtual cocktail parties. I really do think it's a moment where social connection has risen top most of mine. Okay that is enough you can kill it! I just wanted to get the point you see...I don't know if you could hear but he's very upset Well then this is because he buys into the same theory as one of my LibDev friends posting literally Trump must go or we all die. I'm not kidding, Trump must go or we all die and Brooks buys into that he's always bought into that stuff Yeah yeah he was never even believed that Trump could even win or get more than so much votes

CHAPTER 48 / 55 Discussion

Mark Shields, Blood Money and Special Privilege

Political analyst Mark Shields criticized the "special privilege" shown to the Utah Jazz basketball team, who received immediate testing while frontline healthcare workers were denied. He characterized the profits made by senators from timely stock sales as "blood money" that must be prosecuted.

mark shields· pbs· utah jazz· testing· blood money

2:55:04 So let's play that now. Here's the back and forth with Judy Let's start with the mark Shields they're talking about the stock deal senator stock mark one Mark the report about Senator Richard Burr of North Carolina, Senator Kelly Leffler of Georgia selling stock Back in January when they first heard privately about how bad coronavirus was going to be They both say they didn't do anything wrong, nothing illegal. But people are asking questions. Judy it's a time especially as you pick it up on David's point when 49 members of the Utah Jazz basketball team and company immediately get tested while hundreds of

2:55:47 frontline health care workers can't even get tested. You know, there is special privilege and special treatment being shown which the president seemed strangely indifferent to when the question was posed to him and I just think what If this is blood money, that's all you could say. If in fact they had a private briefing and then sold their stocks and you know Senator Lefler that's fine somebody else did it I have a private advisor doing this...I don't care! I mean if this is the case that you were informed of what was happening and unloaded stock

2:56:25 that looked like they were going to be losers and took a profit. That truly is unacceptable, it is blood money and has to be pursued and prosecuted. No, this guy's way. These guys are getting paid a million bucks each to come on this show and go on and on they don't even know the basics I think it's abhorrent! I hope that at the end of this people will really just be so turned off by the mainstream media And I think that's also part of what we're seeing here John

CHAPTER 49 / 55 Discussion

Global Governance, Anderson Cooper and The We

Media narratives on CNN and other networks are increasingly emphasizing collective behavior and "the WE," which some interpret as a push toward global governance. Anderson Cooper and medical experts discussed the long-term mental health implications of social distancing and the shift from individual to communal focus.

anderson cooper· global governance· mental health· cnn· collectivism

2:57:07 is defensive moves. They know that people are home, you know the kid TV channels their ratings are up 60%. It's a bonanza for a lot of stuff they want to get in on the bonanza and then you know what's happening? People are going to podcasts they know it they know it there podcasters are podcasting seven days a week there you know they got their own tribes they're keeping everybody saying hold on a second Maybe what you suggested earlier about these guys doing the at-home monologues and all the rest of it poorly,

2:57:46 You had some theory, but what if it's the sound more like what they think a podcast sounds like? Because that is what the kids want. And in every disaster movie you always have the guy in the RV... Sorry everybody this is coronavirus we are on lockdown It's obvious that the feds are coming in This is all a hoax people But don't worry we're here We'll be on the air forever That you've always got that guy usually played by Woody Harrelson and and they and that should be playing by Randy Quaid Yes, where is Randy Quaid? By the way Still around this is the corona boner that they're all on And I think that's a very good possibility like yeah. This is the way to go all the kids are doing it

2:58:36 Yeah, the sound is what the sound this is their sound but we'll give you would explain that prompter. We'll get a prompter anyway Yes of course here's your prompt or so you feel just at home will make it look and sound like the kids want it That's disgusting thought well let's listen to Brooks now they go they turn into Brooks he goes He starts babbling about something I had to cut deep into before I get to the end And then at the end you're gonna hear a pause The pause you're gonna hear before it finishes up is him actually choking up. He's about to, he's so upset that he's about to cry and then they cut away and he says goodbye and that was the end of it. I was just...

2:59:17 It's a head shaker. But it also requires leadership from the top, leadership of empathy. It requires a sense that everything is surrendered to the common good and we enter this crisis with all those things all the social solidarity levels at such low ebb that we have no luxury here We just have to develop it and grow in the worst possible way And obviously what those senators did or anything that looks like privateering even if its wrong That isn't acceptable Yeah, so I mean we've just got to keep social solidarity uppermost on our mind. On that note David Brooks Mark Shields thank you both You sure it wasn't an IFB someone squawking in his ear? No no you can see him he was just like a thing in his throat couldn't talk If you see it visually its not an IFB issue. Okay I gotcha He's for Klimt!

3:00:09 And he said this thing, he says, privateering even if it's wrong. Okay, if it's wrong then you got something so that kind of script just one last clip I'm going to sneak this one in. Can I just say? No one in the House of Representatives or in the Senate wants this story to get any legs. This story is to be kept very quiet, as quiet as possible." Oh yeah. It's bipartisan so it should get kept quite by media but we have this other kind of...the same kind of a dance and shrink on Cooper Anderson Cooper and they were talking about the kind of, the same thing Brooks is... There's something about the left that is doing this. Oh we're all one! We're all one which I think it's leading again to global governance. We are all one, we are all great big ones so I couldn't resist getting this discussion with shrink Cooper Q. Behavior and see, to see larger collective, to see the WE. To see the WE in all of these? Yes

3:01:12 and to actually see the bigger picture. I really, you know Anderson you and I have talked about that a lot we are all in this together how i behave affects you how you behave affects me it is a larger purpose You know I have a question doctor about this We're getting further into this crisis obviously in the United States I have three kids at home people who've been home now for number of days their social physical distancing They're starting to, it's starting to settle in that you know we're in this for a while. This isn't a snow day It's a season of this What should we be looking for in terms of mental health and our family or friends? That is a great question I wasn't quite ready for that one

CHAPTER 50 / 55 Discussion

Producer Credits, Richard Fox and Sir Silver Dude

CHAPTER 52 / 55 Discussion

Michael Bloomberg, DNC Donation and Campaign Layoffs

Former presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg has transferred $18 million to the Democratic National Committee, the largest such transfer in history. Simultaneously, Bloomberg has faced criticism for firing hundreds of campaign workers he had previously promised to employ through the November election.

michael bloomberg· dnc· campaign workers· layoffs· bernie sanders

3:15:42 Well, I got the one thing to discuss just a quick one clip. which is a political clip because we knew that if you read that essay I wrote some time back about why the Democrats don't want Bernie, it's because they don't want Bloomberg's money. And Bloomberg said and the bankers said that if there's gonna be Warren or Bernie were out, you guys are gonna have to fend for yourself. There's not gonna be any money for down ballot candidates. You guys are going to be screwed so I guess

3:16:27 that the Democrat National Committee did enough of a job on Bernie, you know with the irregular voting and the errors. It's always the Republicans that are stopping to vote but these guys have managed to get Biden to win in states such as Minnesota where he didn't even campaign or have an office to win anything. And so I guess they finally convinced Bloomberg that the DNC did the right thing and he's all back in now. And here is this clip, he is giving $18 million to the DNC. Former Democratic presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg announced today he is transferring 18 million dollars to the Democratic National Committee The money comes from his campaign account and it is largest such transfer ever

3:17:13 At the same time, Bloomberg dropped plans to keep hundreds of campaign workers on his own payroll in support of the party's nominee. I think he fired them by now. He fired a lot of them. So much for that! Here is your 18 million. He is a people person. Total people person. Kill it! Kill it! Kill It! Total People Person. We don't have anything else to do Mike this job you promised that you're going to keep us on. Get out With all of the conspiracies surrounding the sealed indictments and eating babies, drinking baby blood and all this crazy stuff. Sidney Powell who I find to be quite an impressive lawyer who is representing Flynn right? Mike Flynn

CHAPTER 53 / 55 Discussion

Sidney Powell, Anthony Weiner Laptop and Frazzledrip

Attorney Sidney Powell has renewed calls for the investigation of Anthony Weiner's laptop, which allegedly contains 675,000 emails related to the Clinton Foundation. This has reignited dark internet theories such as "Frazzledrip," though no evidence has been produced to support the more extreme claims associated with the files.

sidney powell· anthony weiner· hillary clinton· huma abedin· frazzledrip

3:18:04 I don't know. Yeah, I think she is Actually the keeper was reading her book and she's read me bits of it and some very interesting She seems to be a very high-powered attorney And amidst of all of these conspiracies she throws a little ditty on top of the fire 675 thousand Clinton emails when they got Anthony Weiner's laptop in a search warrant because of all his sex perversion issues It was all the Clinton emails, the Clinton Foundation her Secretary of State emails Huma Abedin's emails lots of people emailed Huma as a proxy for Hillary. So one of the things if I were the president I'd do is demand the Anthony Weiner laptop and get it to the most trusted person in the military to take apart everything on it and then start using it

3:18:57 There's a lot that can be prosecuted. I have no doubt on that laptop and in fact, I heard the New York police officers who saw some of it even though they're hardened investigators literally had to go throw up It's bad Bro what yeah, well this is what would make you read? What do you so you're going through Hillary's six hundred seventy-five thousand meals randomly and You read something and you feel like you have to go. You actually have to Literally oh you don't you know you don't know what this is about you never heard of this No I don't know what this is about all ears the term is Hold on the term is come on

3:19:42 Come on, troll room. Frazzle... frazzle something? Frazzle pop? Frazzle ritz? What the hell is it? There's a term for it This is how its coded by Q etc But apparently there's a video of this is what I've heard about. This is what's going on, you know? Okay the video of Hillary and Ooma and apparently they cut a child's face off and wear the skin face on their own face. Fraggle rock that's what it's like frazzle drip frazzled rip that's the one frazzled drip don't go looking for the video you'll get on a list somewhere don't do it. Don't do it! You're gonna be on a list of idiots It's not in existence as far as I know but that's where it's coming from

CHAPTER 54 / 55 Discussion

NASA Artemis Program, European Service Module and Moon Mission

NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine provided an update on the Artemis program, emphasizing that the mission to the moon will be international in nature. The architecture requires the SLS rocket and a European service module for the Orion crew capsule to successfully reach the lunar surface.

nasa· jim bridenstine· artemis· moon· orion capsule

3:20:27 But, you know. Who knows? I don't know! I really don't know... Here's one that i liked a lot This kind of slipped by and I love reporting on this This is NASA Administrator What's his name Jim Bertenstein Stein He gave an update Now this was just before the coronavirus started hitting big in China So we didn't hear much about this But he gave an update on the Artemis program. This is our mission to the moon

3:21:03 And he's all jacked up about it. It's going to be, of course a global initiative. It's gonna be big never done before and listen up So as we go forward There's a lot that needs to be done in order to create the architecture that we need to create at the moon We've got to have the SLS rocket again The most powerful rocket the United States of America has ever built We need a European service module when we go to the moon for the first time it will be international in nature I mean just explain to me how the administrator says this. We need a European service module when we go to the moon for the first time it will be international in nature! I'm so excited to go to the moon for the first time, first time! The European service module is a critical component to the Orion crew capsule. They Orion crew capsule is how we get our astronauts to the vicinity of the Moon

3:22:01 But there's not enough Delta V there to go to low lunar orbit and land on the surface of the moon. Oh What why not so we need to get more Delta V? Where do we get that? We are building a Reusable command module in orbit around the moon that we call gateway I like what someone in the troll room is saying The troll room says he's reading the prompter wrong That the line break or the comma is in the wrong place Which is possible I'd like to listen again rocket again the most powerful rocket the United States of America has ever built We need a European service module when we go to the moon for the first time it will be international in nature. Oh Yeah, yeah, I think that's good That's that's probably what it is when we go to the moon comma for the first time we need a European service module When we go to the moon

3:22:52 For the first time it will be international in nature. I'm very disappointed now Thanks, that's trolling man right there you trolled me into into bad mood yeah It's just a bad read Damnit man! I thought i had him well I'll keep trying It's still a good clip. You can still bring it out at the conference, one of your UFO conferences that you love going to when you're the speaker and go bring this clip out. Yeah! That'll work. Alright let me see if there is anything else we need to talk about I think...I think were pretty good for now. I do have quite a number end-of show mixes as you can imagine

CHAPTER 55 / 55 Discussion

End of Show Mix, Toilet Paper Hoarding and Kung Flu

The episode concludes with a musical montage satirizing the pandemic, including songs about hoarding toilet paper and Purell. The hosts sign off with their traditional "Adios, mofos" as the mix transitions into a compilation of media clips regarding the "Kung Flu" naming controversy.

toilet paper· purell· kung flu· end of show· adios mofos
