Topic: Death Projections

An internal draft document from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health was leaked to the Washington Post, projecting 200,000 U.S. deaths by the end of June 2020. The lead researcher expressed confusion over how the unfinished model reached the press. The hosts link the institution to "Event 201," a pandemic exercise held in late 2019, suggesting the leak was intended to influence public policy against reopening.

The FBI has admitted that its forensic experts gave flawed hair analysis testimony in hundreds of cases over two decades, potentially leading to wrongful executions. The segment suggests the FBI is "cleaning house" under James Comey to avoid a larger scandal regarding DNA evidence. There is speculation that President Obama may use this as a pretext for a mass clemency event.

John C. Dvorak recommends the film "Colossus: The Forbin Project," noting its relevance to modern concerns about the NSA and autonomous computer systems. The hosts also briefly mention the cult classic "Death Race 2000."
