Topic: 1917 Pandemic

A theory is explored regarding Donald Trump's repeated references to a "1917 pandemic" instead of the 1918 Spanish Flu. Analysts like John Cullen suggest this was not a mistake but a coded reference to a different historical event. This ties into Trump's continued defense of the mRNA vaccines, which has alienated a significant portion of his base who view the "clot shot" with suspicion.

Joe Biden is heard in several clips from his basement studio, where he mistakenly refers to the "pandemic of 17" and "16." He admits to having technical difficulties and relying on his granddaughters to help him get online. The hosts mock his performance and the "Secret Service" protocols he describes for his home.

CNN's Jim Acosta questions the president on why the administration "dropped the ball" despite warnings of a pandemic in 2019. In his response, Trump repeatedly refers to the Spanish Flu starting in 1917, despite the widely accepted date of 1918. This discrepancy leads to a discussion about the origins of the 1918 pandemic, including theories involving a military camp in Kansas and a 1917 outbreak in the United Kingdom.
