Curry John C. Dvorak Sunday
March 15
2020 this is your award-winning
Gitmo
Nation Media assassination
episode 1225
this is no agenda March and
broadcasting
live from opportunity zone 33
here the
frontier of Austin Texas
capital at the
drone star state in the morning
everybody
I'm Adam curry from Northern
Silicon
Valley where the freeways are
deserted
I'm Jesse Devore I admit I'm
loving the
traffic sitch yes the traffic
stitch is
the best Wow hey so we we were
talking
on Thursday how we were so
surprised
about all this panic shopping I
hadn't
seen it you hadn't seen it but
I guess
it none of that happened until
after the
president's disastrous
Wednesday evening
performance which apparently
was written
by Jared Kushner we're trying
to read it
but I don't believe this is
true that it
was written by Jared know about
the
about this happening after the
announcements well every
Thursday well
he did it Wednesday evening and
then
Thursday okay what the national
emergency was called on Friday
no I know
I know but the the nutso buying
of
products because I went out
shopping
Friday and I here in Austin as
well I
ran into empty shelves so you
know it it
kind of I think it right after
the
president had crappy d-minus
performance
that's when people went and
then the
stock market was dropping like
well I
think that's what happened and
it went
up no we're talking about
Thursday
Thursday Friday but Friday it
skyrocketed of course so we
have the so
we had here a and I'd gone at
the start
of the day before and it was
after
Trump's thing but it wasn't it
wasn't it
didn't seem to be the disaster
was on
Friday
now on Friday we had and this
was
reported in the news the
traffic is
backed up on the freeway mm-hmm
like
backed up on the freeway for as
far as I
can see and I thought I was a
wreck as a
wreck that's correct somebody
wrecked
and no and it turned out that
that
traffic was backed up for the
purpose of
going to Costco which is yes we
had the
same at some of our Costco's
but on
Friday not not like Costco what
what
does Costco done to the public
they
hypnotize people well first of
all
Costco has big carts which is
makes you
feel good and powerful because
we're
gonna get lots of stuff I went
I went to
the supermarket and indeed we
had no
paper products no cleaning
products and
no frozen food lots of fresh
produce low
on potatoes but I I would
listen line
for about an hour and I just
looked at
what everyone was buying John
the two
things one this was around two
o'clock
Austin time so people were on
their
phones watching the president
in the
Rose Garden this was kind of
surreal
there whoa yeah president's
talking all
right yeah he's doing this is
how pizza
you hear yeah he's doing the
State of
the Union that's what I realize
I'll
curry you're way too deep you
know way
too much about this stuff this
is the
level people understand he's
doing the
State of the Union okay but
they have 15
bags of chips five boxes of
elite brand
mac and cheese all these no can
no tuna
fish normally they can't sell
the tuna
fish and tuna fit and the only
thing
that was left was you have
colorful
boxes that look like they might
be Asian
that contains some tuna fish
can or
something but the great toilet
paper
scare is a fractal this is a
fractal of
1973 and I was living in the
Netherlands
so I don't recall it but maybe
you do in
73 people started to freak out
and buy
toilet paper because Johnny
Carson
cracked a joke about it on The
Tonight
Show actually I read the same
are
there's actually it predated
that cars
cracked a joke because it was
in the
newspaper wasn't it newspaper
yes right
so somebody had announced and I
don't
know where that by the way and
I just
read this and to kind of answer
your
earlier question that I might
remember
this I don't remember this but
okay okay
I don't even know that it
happened but
maybe that's where my mom's
thing came
from him might have started
right there
and that's the first thing I was
thinking of 1973 that would be
a time
when your mom might have said
oh the
Chinese and it was a Chinese
thing
wasn't it was the or Japanese
and then I
was a Japanese shortage I think
well
there's a shortage somewhere
and then
Carson made some comment and
then it was
all over and it became
according to the
same article or one of the
articles like
you read it became like a big
thing I
don't know if there's it is a
fractal of
that but it well here's the
front what
the triggering mechanism we go
to
Stephen Colbert Procter &
Gamble says
17600 products could be
affected by
coronavirus in China over 17,000
products including Charmin dawn
bounty
and Crest toothpaste so get
ready to
start brushing your teeth with
a hygiene
product still made in America
Jack
Daniels I it's possible that he
may have
kicked that off that was the
beginning
of the week
maybe something kicked it off
but it did
Meany about it is laughable yes
it's not
it's sad it shows you how how
dysfunctional people are
minimally and
the thing is they're not
nobody's ever
even thought to stop
manufacturing
toilet paper and as I've
mentioned when
we talk about toilet paper
which we
apparently do of once a year or
so the
because I talked about Z the
brand Z and
I since like get some toilet
paper from
Grocery Outlet mainly because
there goes
to Zephyr let's go one two
three four
five six seven
8:8 economy stable all things
normal
we're gonna short it should be
nine oh I
thought oh you're right nine is
no we
are short economy down economy
down
trying to be down economy down
economy
down only eight cars on the
zephyr now
so I I realized by doing that
buying it
at this place there are
probably a
hundred separate brands of
toilet paper
and I don't know how many come
in from
China which seems unlikely is
kind of a
wasters or its kind of a stupid
thing to
do but there's a lot of
different but
nobody is stopping the
manufacturing of
toilet paper anytime soon if
not if
there's not a glut on the
market so the
people who went out and bought
bushel
baskets full of toilet paper
it's just
it's beyond comprehension
I think there's that there's an
OP going
on well before we get to ops
let's
listen to our Secretary of the
Treasury
and fellow Tourette's sufferer
although
he's much better at suppressing
it
Steven minuchin only recently I
know but
I got to get his tips I got to
figure
out what he said I think he's
being
injected he has he still has it
I can
see it when a question comes he
does he
moves his head in his neck a
certain way
and of course I recognize what
that is
it's a stifled tic but he's
good at it
and he weighed in of course on
the
economy and very interesting as
we kind
of thought this buying would
would
affect the overall economy and
it has
there's there's area the
economies that
have been hurt very hard
immediately
area of the economy is the best
thing
that's ever has occurred so as
you said
people are shopping from the
data I have
from the credit card companies
and what
we've seen is although travel
spending
is way down spending on
supplies food
medical pharmacy has almost
offset that
in the short term and again any
supply
chain issues the task force is
focused
on and we'll be dealing with
don't see
that as a major problem at the
moment I
think as you know people were
concerned
about China China's opened back
up China
opened for business and thank
you for
helping the economy the overall
economy
of course because it's starting
to hurt
and if you noticed this I don't
know if
it's the same with you I'm
getting
emails and texts and calls from
lots of
friends and families like I'm
some
Oracle now like hey what's
going on do
you know what's happening yeah
the kid
came home from school saying
from was
you know heard that China
created this
to kill us all you know so this
is now
this is what's happening with
11 12 year
old kids the hearing is at
school so
everybody needs to feel
somewhat better
eating anything at school
around here
schools been closed yes and as
I have
family in Italy in food ends
willow and
everything is they're not
freaked out at
all of course her husband who
was an
entertainer will have no work
for a
delete he's had no work for two
weeks
he'll probably know there for
more
because he's a comedian and he
performs
in public so that's done and
it's just
kind of a ghost town it's like
people
just aren't really going out
except to
go to the the grocery store or
pharmacy
yeah or if you need to drive to
work
restaurants and bars curfew
a Tiffany in the Netherlands and
Christina of course in Rotterdam
Rotterdam is is really
completely shut
down and they're expecting
curfew to be
installed by this weekend so
they say or
this coming weekend maybe even
sooner
and the shit and then the
shelves there
it was rated just the panic is
real in
the lowlands people are flip
and they're just buying
anything that's
it to buying the shelves gonna
buy this
show I mean I might need a
shelf give me
the shelf I want this shelf by
the shelf
and that you know the there's
no one
calming anybody down there's no
one
doing any good work actually I
I thought
I don't you saw the whole Rose
Garden
speedo by the president as bad
as the
Wednesday night was I gave this
a solid
a finally finally he does what
he's good
at doesn't use the prompter
comes out
with his his kind of people the
CEO from
Walmart from Target from
Walgreens when
I'm missing their CVS he's got
all the
big guys at hey hey Don come
over here
okay Pete you get right Pete
you got
this under control
and he had he had it together
finally
and he was also not taking any
shit from
the reporters if someone just
kept
dreaming on about did you take
a test
have you been tested then he
just had
the mic taken away from him but
didn't
you know didn't do his typical
shut up
your fake news the best though
which you
didn't see on your Evening News
because
why would you we were too
obsessed with
claiming the president lied
Google isn't
doing anything Google isn't
building a
website by the way how about the
president giving a shout out
for Google
yeah we just had Google build a
website
which will see slips in a little
political bullcrap
which it hasn't happened with
every
website launched by the
government okay
that was unnecessary I hate it
when he
does that
but then he brought on promised
he's
done it he does it too much now
he
doesn't need to do it he
doesn't need to
so he brought on Deborah bricks
Bri Eck
Burks I'm sorry BIR ex she's
State
Department ambassador-at-large
and she
has she was in government
starting with
the Bush administration PEPFAR
she is
the I'll just call her the AIDS
czar as
she has shepherded that
throughout the
Bush administration and she
laid out and
said this is
a little bit longer clip three
minutes
but she lays out exactly what
happened
exactly because it all we've
heard is
we've got no kids we're not
testing the
truck is killing us oh wait I
should
actually play the lawrence
o'donnell
clip let me see where is that
douchebag
here we go this is Lawrence
Alton this
is your mainstream media more
people are
in America tonight because
Donald Trump
is president more people are
dead and
dying in America more people
are dead
and dying because of Donald
Trump thanks
Larry
we feel really horrible now so
Burks
comes out and she I think she
explains
it incredibly well
she even addresses the fact
that it may
have been confusing for the
press and
for people at home but he and
she has
actual credibility and she in
the Aged
days and the heyday of the aides
although we've learned that
aids still
kills 2,000 people a day
worldwide
she was always up front and
center as
she's very well respected then
of course
that's why no one talks to her
no one
interviews her they don't even
put this
segment on television but I
think this
really tells you what is going
on and
where we're at dr. Burks please
Thank
You mr. president Tom it's a
pleasure to
be here with all of you I think
you know
at the beginning of this
epidemic HHS
through CDC proactively
developed an
assay built on the existing flu
surveillance system that
surveillance
system was then converted to
diagnostic
system but last Tuesday seeing
the
spread of the virus around the
globe the
president realized that our
current
approach to testing was
inadequate to
need to meet the needs of the
American
public he asked for an entire
overhaul
of the testing approach he
immediately
called the private sector
laboratories
to the White House as noted and
charge
them with developing a high
throughput
quality platform that can meet
the needs
of the American public we are
grateful
to LabCorp and quest for taking
up the
charge immediately after the
meeting and
within seventy now at 72 hours
bringing
additional testing access
particularly
to the outbreak areas
of Washington State and
California and
now across the country we are
also very
grateful to the universities in
large
hospital systems that took up
the charge
developed their own quality
tests made
available by new dep new FDA
guidance
this has resulted in expanded
testing
across New York California
Washington
Colorado and you see sometimes
those
dried through options that have
been
made available through these
high
throughput options following
the meeting
last week major commercial
laboratory
equipment and diagnostic
companies took
immediate action to adopt and
develop
new testing systems last night
the
initial company Roche received
sta FDA
approval moving from request to
development to approval in
record time
in less than two weeks together
we have
developed a solution that we
believe
will meet the future needs
testing needs
of Americans I understand how
difficult
this has been I was part of the
hiv/aids
response in the 80s we knew
from dying
from first finding cases in
1981 it took
us to almost 1985 to have a
test it took
us another 11 years to have
effective
therapy it is because of the
lessons
learned from that that we were
able to
mobilize and bring those
individuals
that were key to the HIV
response to
this response I understand that
a lot of
this behind-the-scenes action
over the
last couple of weeks was
invisible to
the press and the American
people but
this intense effort has not only
resulted in innovative
solutions but an
automated high throughput system
bringing the availability of
these
quality Korona viral testing to
the
American people at
unprecedented speed
finally I want you to know in
South
Korea they did have large
number of
tests available over the last
several
weeks their positivity rate is
between
three and four percent with
LabCorp and
quest expanded testing their
positivity
rate is between one and two
percent so
we want to also announce this
new
approach to testing which will
start in
the screening website up here
facilitated by Google where
clients and
patients and people of interest
go fill out a screening
questionnaire
move down for symptoms or risk
factors
yes they would move down this
and be
told where the drive-thru
options would
be for them to receive this
test the
labs will then move to the
high-throughput automated
machines to be
able to provide results in 24
to 36
hours that is the intent of this
approach we have seen it work
just in
our own United States and we
want to
bring this across the continent
thank
you very much so a couple of
things we
learned I think none of this was
reported except for the Google
is going
to build the website which I
even see
the troll room people believe
that
that's not true at Google of
course came
out and said yes we are doing
that it's
through our act you know one of
our
companies that they acquired
and we have
Google engineers who have
volunteered to
get this up and going by Sunday
but
that's what the press focused
on well
actually they focused on
something else
in addition to that if you was
tested or
not well three things three
this is
Trump's slamming slamming a
niche else
indoor PBS really played this
up at all
the other places did too saying
that her
question was nasty
yeah so he's a racist oh of
course
it's yummy Sh when he's a race
he's
racist we know because she sees
used the
word nasty and and we're on PBS
the
NewsHour they and I don't know
when this
started because reporters aren't
supposed to be part of the news
but the
news crews nowadays on the
various
networks the big networks they
they put
the camera on the reporter
asked it
usually their reporter yeah
they never
you know their reporter asking
the
question so they had the camera
on you
know the Yami SH and she's
asking the
question you shut down the
pandemic unit
and it's just the reason we're
so far
behind you know what did they
have an
answer for that because I've
looked into
it
and I know exactly what
happened well
you can tell us what happened
after I
tell you what the president
said he
speak kind of passed it off
saying you
know these other people have
done things
it's not nothing really I know
where
you're blaming me for that was
a nasty
question because it was it was
a nasty
question in terms of just a
ambush
question yeah and dad became
the big
news right so what actually
happened is
it was John Bolton that
reorganized that
yes
what was it blamed he mentioned
Bolton
yeah but what happened was
pandemic was
replaced with the but the
chemical
banned bioweapon team so it was
replacement upgrading it in my
mind to
something much better
and there's though in that in
2018 the
same timeframe that the
documents in the
show notes you can see the
entire layout
for the bio weapon team that
replaces
the pandemic team so yeah and I
that
sounds like something Bolton
would do
that makes a lot of sense but
what we're
hearing now from dr. Burks is
the entire
system was not set up for this
type of
testing and also people really
have some
kind of fantasy about you know
you just
swab your cheek and and you're
good to
go and you beep you get a green
light or
a red light you know it's not
like a
23andme DNA test spitting the -
well it
is actually it comes back
faster than
the 23andme but it's not an
immediate
test and apparently it took a
little
while to get the test to be
right which
of course is just an outrage
and people
have died because of this but
the CDC
failed and Trump did something
very
interesting he went something
almost
straight from a socialist
playbook
actually you got to be you keep
your eye
on it he said all right let's
bring in
everybody else and he said and
and in
Europe the word is oh my god
only in
America would they come up with
a genius
idea of a drive-through testing
you have
to understand this is unique to
the
United States drive-through
hamburgers
was a big deal in the 70s when
we heard
about it over in Europe
so this hit so we look like
like the
coolest people in the world
we're gonna
do that in a drive-thru format
and
that's really an important
thing because
you don't you don't want to
fill up the
doctors offices hospitals and
ers with
people wanting a test
yeah the drive-thru is a great
idea
that's genius but I don't know
if they
still have this in Texas but
they used
to have drive-through liquor
stores and
and beer vendors don't know of
any
especially around these parts
you know
we have Sunday can't even sell
liquor so
as I'm sure it's weird but I was
encouraged by hearing that and
also a
South Korea remember we talked
about
these numbers would probably be
the
numbers that would matter and a
pet they
sure they had tests but their
test gave
worst results than our tests
could our
test be fixed rigged bugged
whatever I
don't know I don't think so so
the test
is getting better it could be
bad
flattening the curve though I
think we
kind of nailed that one I heard
that
over and over this past week
flatten the
curve we got to flatten the
curve and
yeah it's kind of expected and
predicted
people have started to hunker
down a bit
I think it's gone a bit too far
but
retail is cutting hours
restaurants I
mean we went out to a
restaurant last
night where you know pretty
much empty
although other ones were full I
think it
kind of hit and miss but just
trying to
keep the economy going and one
other
thing from this Rose Garden
speech kind
of set me on a path of looking
at a
couple of things and I want to
discuss
that here's what the president
said
about the virus Americans are
the
strongest and most resilient
people on
earth and in the coming weeks
we will
all have to make changes and
sacrifices
but these short-term sacrifices
will
produce long-term gain and
again I've
said we're learning a lot for
the future
and future problems like this
or worse
or worse it could get worse the
next
eight weeks are critical we can
learn
and we will turn a corner on
this virus
some of
the doctors say it will wash
through and
will flow through interesting
terms and
very accurate I think you're
gonna find
in a number of weeks it's going
to be a
very accurate term all right
these
things I pay attention when he
says look
eight weeks he's putting real
numbers
out there I didn't see this
clip played
anywhere either eight weeks and
they say
go look at number doctors say
it's gonna
wash over it could be just a
couple of
weeks and that's what the
doctors say
that could turn out to be pretty
accurate you're gonna see I
mean he
couldn't message it any stronger
and I was looking around at the
you know
because of course there's this
comparison between influenza
and what it
does and how many victims it
takes every
year and versus the corona
virus the
symptoms etc and it's very hard
to go
back and find stuff in any of
the search
engines Google is useless
actually if
you want to find something from
even a
few months ago that contained
the terms
influenza or or sick or
anything like
that and the first one I hit
was Time
magazine from January 16th and
this was
a weird flu suit flu season it
turns out
then time well time the rag
says flu
season is always unpredictable
different
viral strains circulate each
year which
makes forecasting a deist the
disease is
spread and formulating the
annual flu
vaccine and educated guessing
game even
so the 2019 2020 flu season has
been
particularly unusual influenza
B the
viral strain that usually
circulates
toward the end of flu season
instead
emerged first this year
shifting usual
transmission patterns a vaccine
Mitch
met mismatch and reduced
immunity to
influenza B may have
contributed to the
early and severe start of this
flu
season but what at what all
articles say
including this one is that it
would be
milder than other years the CDC
itself
and see what is the date of this
publication they published what
to
expect for the 2019 2020 flu
season
and this page was last reviewed
on March
13th so it it's still accurate
and let's
just look at the numbers for a
moment
CDC estimates that from October
1st 2019
remember'd started early this
flu season
through March 7th 2020 there
have been -
not there will be there have
been 36
million 251 million flu
illnesses 17
million to 24 million flu
medical visits
370 thousand to 670,000 flu
hospitalizations in my favorite
22,000 -
55,000 flu deaths so this is
this has
happened in this period that we
are just
looking back on these numbers
could have
could have easily been reported
as
something incredibly scary yeah
22 -
55,000 deaths I mean that's
that those
are scary numbers if you hype
it up the
way this has been going but it
hasn't
but what we do see if you go
back to
January now January 25th or
23rd is when
the news first started
reporting it here
in the u.s. seriously with
deaths in
China in that month and I
remembered it
because of my daughter my so I
had
something in December but if
you go back
and look in timelines people's
timelines
on Twitter or just any friends
you'll
see that they had a lot of them
had
flu-like symptoms
felt like crap went to the
doctor
diagnosed with influenza but
did not
test positive with an influenza
test
told to go home took about ten
days and
they felt better I have a
feeling
personally listening to the
messaging
from the president and looking
at the
numbers that this thing has
already
washed through us and the only
reason
why it appears to be building
is because
we're testing we're testing oh
my god
but is it you can't tell me
that this
only we only have these cases
now after
this was already killing people
in
January we have direct flights
from
Wuhan to Toledo Ohio
interestingly
enough a hundred thousand cases
predicted to be in Toledo Ohio
why well there's a million
Chinese
coming back and forth all year
with all
the factories that they that's
what
American Factory the Obama
documentary
is about about that exact area
in Ohio
come my feeling is the symptoms
yeah of
course is gonna kill people
just like
the flu you've got the numbers
I think
it's already people have
already had I
think it may have come and gone
it just
looks like it's incredibly bad
because
the numbers are now starting to
come in
from testing we probably have
thirty
forty fifty million people
infected most
have no symptoms some get some
symptoms
some people died like the flu
we have to
remember that the corona virus
is night
alongside of rhinoviruses that
is the
cause of the common cold thank
you and
that seems to have been lost in
the
shuffle well and so back to
your op yes
this I think this is an op for
multiple
multiple angles this is
financials I
mean the money that must be
made right
now in the markets for some
must be
astronomical if you know what
you're
doing you've got to be cleaning
up I
mean this and we've we've got
to have
acquisitions coming soon there
are there
companies you know down to a
buck two
nokia nokia is a like a buck
and a half
a share of Nokia this is gonna
be
accurate it was already on the
under
acquisition block so there's
all kinds
of stuff that's going on there
control
is my fear we see now in Israel
they
have an app encouraging all
citizens to
download the app will you you
report and
of course it tracks you and
it's very
very open about it it tracks
you it then
so that you can say okay either
I'm in
quarantine I've had it I have
it you
know you show up on the map and
if
you're walking around somewhere
in
Israel and you're you go and
you you are
virus free and you come in
proximity of
someone who might have it you
know your
phone's go careful citizen
warning Will
Robinson danger yeah so there's
a lot of
tracking that will be put in
place this is the surveillance
the way
they the way they speak about
it who
knows what else will will come
of this
but this is the never let a
crisis go to
waste moment and I think we're
going to
only when this subsides a bit
will we
find out exactly what has been
put in
place there are things we could
talk
about the green new deal in
Europe in a
minute but I just cannot see
this as the
panic driven crisis that is
being
explained to us and you know I
like dr.
drew and he's trying to sound
the same
Bell I guess hit the same
message here
he is on the CBS so you've seen
pandemics over the decades how
does this
one compare with every bad flu
season is
80,000 dead we've got about
18,000 dead
from influenza this year we
have a
hundred from Corona which
should you be
worried about influenza or
Corona a
hundred versus 18,000 it's not
a trick
question
and look the everything that's
going on
with the new are cleaning the
subways
and everyone using Clarence
wipes and
get your flu shot which should
be the
other message that's good
that's a good
thing so I have no problem with
the
behaviors what I have a problem
with is
the panic and the fact that
businesses
are getting destroyed and
people's lives
are being upended not by the
virus but
by the panic the panic must
stop and the
press they really I somehow
need to be
held accountable because they
are
hurting people and I could just
see it
the way the innuendo and the
every every
opportunity for drama by the
press was
was twisted in that direction
let me
give an example
the World Health Organization
is out now
saying the fatality rate from
the virus
is 3.4 percent right every every
publication from the w-h-o says
3.4
percent and we expect it to fold
dramatically once we understand
the full
extent of the illness no one
ever
reports the actual statement
right we go
three point four percent that's
ten
times more than them whatever
five times
more than the flu
and yeah it's gonna be a little
more flu
probably so dr. drew trying to
bring
some sanity I don't know if
people trust
him anymore do you think they
still have
some trust in dr. drew
no nobody cares they just
thought they
got to worry about the toilet
paper let
me just go back to that comment
if his
about the press I have some
clips I have
a second one from him about the
present
and then one played that real
quick and
then we'll hear you sure I
think there
was it was a concerted effort
by the
press to capture your eyes and
in doing
so they did it by inducing
panic there
there's you listen the CDC and
the WHR
they know what they're doing
they
contain pandemics that's how
they know
how to do and they're doing an
amazing
job
amazing listen to them what
about the
global implications of this
because we
were talking off-camera about
Italy
there's China well there's some
little
outbreaks where you should
avoid right
there there are that's I would
I would
look out where the flus out
Breaking Bad
- right I ended up getting the
bird flu
I got h1n1 oh really and it was
horrible
it was no fun how long have
that well
that was ten years ago and I
was I was
really sick for about two weeks
I'm
really sick and that's no
longer about
the press okay first of all
Saturday's
PBS Newshour woods tree
cirfairy knew
his name he this half is a half
hour on
Saturdays it started about
Corona it
ended with Corona it was an
entire show
Corona Corona yeah I'm sure
so the National on Friday which
is the
Canadian a Diaz top news show
it's there
CBC's news hour it's an hour it
was one
whole hour of reporting about
Corona in
one way or another there was
nothing
else there was not one single
other
story for the entire day and
what makes
you think what makes you think
this is
some kind of an operation why
would you
even consider that some clips
from
Canada which are kind of
interesting
mainly because there's one
fractal in
there but there's a the
Canadians they
stare panicky and you have to
realize
that they it was well played
play this first clip is the no
travel
clip number one intro no travel
oh okay
I see what you're saying
Colby 19 Zim packed on Canada
is getting
wider the number of cases
nearly 200 so
far and its impact on our lives
our
communities and our work is
already
massive the concern now that
this
outbreak in this country has
only begun
I know that you're worried
you're
worried about your health about
your
family's health know about your
job your
savings about paying rent about
the kids
not being in school after a
week of
chaos from the stock market to
supermarkets the federal
government says
help is coming but also advises
Canadians not to leave the
country
unless absolutely necessary 200
yeah
well let's get real
193 oh he was exaggerating it's
letting
here fleece is almost 200k as
an aside
just came out today the UK
police will
have power to arrest people if
you're
and and this is like what if
you are on
the street and you are a virus
carrier
do you remember the Lisbon
Treaty this
is one of the things that can
now not
and out of the out of the EU
the EU
Lisbon Treaty if you recall one
of the
things that actually got me
started on
the path of eventually winding
up
talking to you about this stuff
which
led to the show was the
protocols to the
Lisbon Treaty which said
authorities in
the EU or the EU authorities
will have
the power to arrest people and
detain
them if they have communicable
diseases
which was not even defined I
mean it
could have and I think we might
have
even joked on the show that
well you got
the cold bless you I'm
arresting you now
these things and they come back
to
people all of a sudden
that's a good one not if you're
in the
EU it's not now here's an entry
of a
plate clip to the second part
of that
clip
tonight we'll look at ottawa's
plan to
control the spread of the virus
and to
support the economy including
the
growing list of restrictions and
cancellations and how panic is
making a
hard situation even harder from
grocery
stores to diagnostic testing
considering
how quickly things are changing
many of
you are on edge and have lots of
questions while today we got
some
answers and warnings today from
the
federal government
David Cochrane begins our
coverage from
Ottawa the Prime Minister is
fighting
this virus on three fronts his
family's
health the health of Canadians
and the
health of the Canadian economy
we will
be supporting the economy and
Canadians
through this time because his
wife
tested positive Trudeau will
work from
isolation as his government
tries to
stop the contagion today my
advice is to
postpone or cancel all
non-essential
travel outside of Canada no
Canadians
should leave the country while
the
government will limit the ways
travelers
can enter the country the
international
rivals from certain regions
will land
only at a few specified
airports this
will enable us to to
concentrate our
precious resources for our
Border
Services officers and for our
public
health officers cruise ships
are banned
until at least July they won't
be
allowed to go to the Arctic at
all
because of the lack of health
facilities
in the north the border however
stays
open as evidence shows a border
shutdown
doesn't work I think what we
have to
remember is that viruses don't
know
borders a border is not going
to contain
the virus until late April MPs
of all
parties not wanting to be part
of the
problem when they visit they're
riding
this globalist piece of crap
borders
don't stop viruses yeah if you
stop the
flights they do if you stop
people from
walking across them it
certainly helps
in my nuts or am I just not a
globalist
you're not a globalist brother
well I
mean they stopped if they're
one it they
want nobody to leave the
country and
they want the screen all the
fights
coming and that's kind of like
you know
and then but the border should
be open I
don't yeah this is your right
this is
part of the let's have all the
borders
opening let them walk in from
Ecuador
well you know you you put me on
the path
man when you got that John
Hopkins who
actually ran the event 201
pandemic
exercise that guy is now the
expert and
talking to God knows whoever
within the
media but they're their paper
as you
explain it they're result of
what has to
happen when we eventually hit
this
pandemic which we just hit is
more
globalism we have to teach the
world to
sing in perfect harmony you know
everybody has to do it all
together it's
you know it's the opposite of
what
people actually want to do it's
shut
down hunker down and go away
evil man
they tell you is shut done so so
Canada's got the hoarding well
wait
before I go to the hoarding in
Canada
which is exactly the same as it
is here
and the same in in the
Netherlands
toilet paper everything know
that
neighbor in the Netherlands do
not John
they're buying the actual
shelves here's
the here's de fractal this is
the non
testing of Trudeau listen to
this oh
okay
oops hold on sec now well the
Prime
Minister today said he feels
fine he
also said he has no plans to be
tested
for kovat 19 which has many
people
asking why not yeah these
doctors
actually advised against
testing since
he is showing those symptoms
and his
Health Minister Patti hi do
pointed out
a little later that is the
normal
protocol there is no evidence
that
someone needs to self isolate
if in fact
they have been contact with
someone who
is asymptomatic and so it's
important
support to remember that that
is why the
Prime Minister has received
that more
oblique health and Phi City
doesn't have
to have a test I do also say
the Prime
Minister's wife Sophie will
extensively interviewed as
health
officials attempt to trace
everyone she
has been in contact with so
Sophie's got
got tested positive which is
little
different than Trump Trump was
room was
hounded for the same exact
reasons and
and at first used the same
exact excuse
which will my doctor says I
didn't need
it yeah and this which is
what's crudos
doing yeah but Trudeau you you
think
might be a little more inclined
Trump
finally gave in got tested
turned out to
be fine and Trudeau's gonna do
the same
thing but I just thought it was
curious
at both these guys we've kind
of went by
the exact same playbook unknown
to each
other I'm sure well I I know
why why
Trump didn't want to do it this
is 25th
amendment Oh sick all right
boom move in president's no
good it's
gone to his brain Oh they'd
have him out
so quick your head would spin
and and
pence would provoke and we have
a
president who was infected and
pence
would be right there pence by
the way
he's like dude I'm looking
pretty good
here
I'm getting some props um he
looks just
like the guy who plays him on
SNL
it's it's uncanny and Pence is
looking
pretty presidential yeah Wow
yeah we
might have to we could deal
with him
could do that okay now play
this another
thing they're doing up in
Canada this is
they're shutting debt which is
what they
should do everywhere they're
shutting
down the government for all
practical
purposes this is the killing
legislative
sessions clip the impacts of
copán 19
are also stretching to more
than 50,000
employees of the Ontario public
service
the province has asked
employees to work
from home beginning on Monday
until
April 3rd if feasible this
follows a
vote at Queen's Park to suspend
the
spring legislative session
temporarily
the Tories are also determining
whether
to postpone the March 25th
budget
yeah they should Jim Oak should
go home
and by the way a hundred and
ninety
three cases in the entire
country and
they've gone completely nuts
there's a
term for this that's going on
which I'd
heard before I kind of ignored
it
because I saw a lot of people
posting
and laying out whatever it's
the what do
you call this
you call this the
dunning-kruger effect
you familiar with the
dunning-kruger
effect no no tell her well it's
something called the
dunning-kruger
effect no Danny Kruger effect
is a
couple psychologist dr. Danny a
dr.
Kreuger realize that there's a
cognitive
distortion for people that may
don't
really know the landscape of a
particular topic it's what
allows people
to get up on American Idol and
sing and
sound like hell or go don't it
sound
great they don't know good
singing
they're not exposed to it and
the same
thing is true in many areas of
science
and so right now everybody
thinks
they're an expert on everything
they're
not that is done in Kruger
people that
are real experts feel like
imposters
which is the opposite of with
that
inquiry because you realize on
fast the
top because I'll complicate it
is you
never feel like you know enough
but in
social media Danny Kruger is a
wide yes
and that's part of the problem
oh my
gosh I'll say this at the
people that
listen to this show aren't the
ones
getting the toilet paper I can
assure
you there are probably very I
mean it's
not that somebody in the
family's not
doing it but I don't see
anybody I met
didn't run out and get a bunch
of toilet
paper we got toilet paper it
lasted I
don't know weeks where the
toilet paper
how much do you need and they
keep
restocking it it's not as
though the
stuff is gonna disappear for
all men
forever there's always tissues
you said
why nobody buys the Kleenex
Cristina let
me get my last Canadian exit
but this is
just so we get some perspective
on the
hoarding you already gave it in
Holland
and this is the Canadian
version well
some public places have been
thinning
out grocery stores are jammed
with
customers they're loading up
with
supplies to make sure they
don't run out
and in the process emptying the
shelves
Thomas daglow went to find out
what's
fueling this panic
on a quick trip for essentials
good luck
consider this coronavirus
fuelled panic
buying empty shelves lineups
that keep
going and going and going not
to mention
a tight squeeze in that crowd
even as
public health experts urge
everyone to
avoid contact that seems a lot
a little
bonkers in there now today
there is lots
of people and more than normal
even on
their busiest day indeed with
so many
users sharing pictures online
showing
toilet paper shelves empty
unfounded
fears of a shortage run rampant
toilet
paper isn't the only thing
running low
in some stores like
non-perishable food
items tomato sauce and pasta in
a store
it's nearly all gone
but stores are restocking
everyday and
officials across the country
promise
right now all trucks are
delivering
goods and we don't expect any
shortage
so what's driving the panic
this medical
anthropologist blames the fear
of a
mysterious virus and the need
to do
something to help hoarding
behaviors in
the context of an outbreak are
not
helpful problem is over buying
prevents
others from grabbing their own
supplies
but it gets worse like those
reselling
cleaning wipes online at
outrageous
prices I'm profoundly
disappointed in
people who are hoarding and
then selling
online III think that's just
offensive
that you see that guy who the
New York
Times did a piece on know he
had 17,000
bottles of hand sanitizer Kenny
was
price gouging him on eBay and
then eBay
blocked him and now he can't
sell any
and he's crying about it just
tell me
about you Tito's vodka is the
answer so
the thing there's a slate
article that
was written showing they did
some
document documentation of what
people
actually are grabbing off the
shelves
but more interesting what
they're
leaving and what there's a for
example
the meat counters are all
emptied out in
some places but the pork
products were
left because at the end of
thinking is
is the pork is this thought of
a swine
flu and Chinese and pork it's
also sunny
pork of course all the vagin
stuff is
there if you're a vegan you
don't worry
not actually food so of course
nobody's
buying there's a rack of meat
that's all
missing except beyond meat
that's all
there oh no one's buying the
beyond
which is a sign for you
investors yes
yet bail bail now this is no
joke and
then and then all the water is
gone
except design
for some reason it sounds
Italian well
no no no it's because it's
everyone
noses because even on the
bottle its
coca-cola water that's just tap
water
that's been filtered yeah the
whole
thing is nuts especially but
let's say I
got a couple clips because
playing some
Italy stuff since you did
mention it and
I thought this was interesting
this is
the rules clip Italy rules and
something
I wrote it down I don't know
what it
says Italy remains on lockdown
as
officials and health care
workers
struggle to contain the corona
virus
pandemic special correspondent
Christopher lip say joins us
now via
Skype from Rome Chris we had a
conversation a week ago what's
changed
well the lockdown that was
previously
limited to northern Italy the
the
hotspot here in this country it
expanded
to cover the entire country so
that
first of all when he says it's a
lockdown it's bullshit this is
a prime
example of the type of shit
that the
mainstream media is doing it's
not a
lockdown
seems to be locked down he
won't leave
his room dude this guy is full
of crap
as far south as Sicily and
including the
capital and rum where I am and
then in
the past couple of days they've
actually
heightened those restrictions
and so
you're only supposed to go out
if it's
absolutely necessary
I see a little bit different
than a
lockdown no you can go out to
go to your
job you can go out to the
grocery store
legit if you need to go to the
hospital
if you need to get food and
that means
that the types of services
you'll find
once you do go out are also
limited it
means that cafes and clothing
stores
they're all closed now as part
of this
ban in place pharmacies you
will find
open grocery stores you will
find open
but if you want to actually be
outside
of your home you have to have
proof that
it's a good reason so that means
carrying up with you this self
minted
affidavit in which you explain
your
business
and if you don't have this on
you and
the police stop you you can be
fined or
even arrested and by last count
about
5,000 Italians had already been
charged
for for breaking these rules
that are in
place okay well great this is
the this
is the thing you print off the
internet
the fill is your self play play
the
second clip these are limited
resources
a ventilator can cost tens of
thousands
of euros and you have to be on
these
devices for six to eight days
at times
and if you're in your 80s your
chance of
recovery is very low so in a
lot of
hospitals it's become a wartime
situation in which doctors have
to
decide whether to give it to the
eight-year-old or whether to
give it to
the fifty year old or thirty
year old I
mean whether there are reports
now of
the dead not being able to be
collected
from their homes because the
health
services are three parts
overwhelmed and
you can't get a funeral home
that's
willing to risk going inside a
house
where there's coronavirus
because they
don't want to get infected I
mean it
conjures up images from the
Middle Ages
when you had the Black Death
sweeping
through this place where I'm
talking to
you from this is what's so
interesting
where are that they had the
pictures all
the pictures where the pictures
now
where are the pictures budget
but still
what he described what it was
here
actually describing I just
hated to
bring this up they're just kind
of as a
call back he's describing a
death panel
yes who just who decides oh
it's a death
panel well and thank you would
everyone
please put in a little Google
News
tracker for the National Health
System
in the UK people are flipping
out it's
underfunded we're already ten
thousand
doctor short mm-hmm
yes and who's going to decide
who gets
in who doesn't get in this is
exactly
exactly why you don't want this
kind of
centralized control on Italy
then this
this is the same for Ojai when
I heard
Ohio Ohio's number a hundred
thousand
and all the light bulbs went
off and
that's when I didn't know that
you could
fly directly from Wuhan to
Toledo
well you can't now but they've
you know
this is this is a hotbed of
Chinese
activity no wonder if they were
coming
in and December January
bringing this
virus with them of course
everyone there
is inflect doesn't mean people
are dead
and you have to lock down Ohio
Italy is
different for a couple reasons
well the
main thing is Italy was the
first
country in the European Union
against
the wishes of all two of the 28
27 other
member states who joined up and
had Zhi
Jing ping and all the
muckety-mucks from
the CCP a year ago almost to
the day in
northern Italy we're part of
Belton Road
yes it's great there's a hundred
thousand workers Chinese
workers in the
factories in northern Italy are
these
people who have died were they
factory
workers who maybe even be in
below
Western standard housing
situation we
don't know no one's told us who
these
people are for what I spy the
way I this
is an irritant
an irritant with me from the
from the
get-go I've mentioned before on
the show
I don't see why we can't get
the ethnic
information or age or age even
how about
ethnicity would be very
interesting I'll
take age absolutely so but the
tip off
the tip off to this well
there's two
pieces that there was supposed
to be a
big meeting a big launch of
something on
the 23rd of March with the with
the
Chinese that of course is off
the table
the tip-off came do you
remember willow
sent me the voicemail message
which we
played on the show and she was
talking
about you know the racism
against the
Chinese and they were going to
Chinese
restaurants to try and show
solidarity I
looked into this and they went
even
further there the government
instant the
local government instituted the
hug a
Chinese and they had Chinese
people on
the streets of Italy of
Florence's
I saw with a mask on with the
blindfold
on and it had with the sign
says please
hug your hug of Chinese and
this is the
Communist Party who are insane
about
Taiwan even being called Taiwan
on the
map in fact Taiwan isn't even
Taiwan and
Wikipedia it's the ROC Republic
of China
they want they they're out
there telling
the Italians you better have
people of
love in the Chinese and so then
they
come up with all these crazy
things like
hug a Chinese go to the Chinese
restaurant don't be racist and
this is
what CNN is doing now oh you
can't call
it Wuhan no that would be bad
that's
racist that's that's xenophobic
that's
horrible CNN is owned by Warner
Media
Warner media is owned by AT&T
AT&T has
huge deals with Huawei and
Chinese
telecom companies the call went
out hey
hey hey hey hey stop calling it
the
Chinese stop calling it Wuhan
and then
all of a sudden the CNN anchors
are all
telling you that it's racist to
say that
if the Chinese have time for
all that
then certainly things are not
as dire as
they appear to be here is China
China's
top virus expert this is the
man who
shepherded China through the
SARS
outbreak China Sina medical
advisor Joe
Manchin says the corona virus
outbreak
may peak soon and may be over
by April
in an interview with Reuters
mr. song
said that the prediction was
made based
on mathematical modelling the 83
year-old is known for combating
the SARS
crisis in China in 2003 but
this comes
as the death toll from the
corona virus
epidemic in China hit 1016 so
he's
expecting it to be over in a
few weeks
as well could be true could not
be true
I don't know I hear the
president sneak
in those words in there stuck
in my mind
I always think he knows
something that
he can't say and could be wrong
but I've
said April 6 because April 6
would be
exactly 30 days after the
initial eight
point three billion dollars was
released
and I think when everyone has
the
initial money then things will
die down
not so for New York City Mayor
Bill
DeBlasio who showed his true
color red in this little ditty
with joy
read the testing thing I think
it is
really and you know maybe I'm a
bit
obsessed with it because at
this point
it seems insane in a modern
country in a
great city like New York City
but it
seems almost impossible for
people to
get a test can a New Yorker or
someone
in this city that is
symptomatic in some
way get a test if they need it
and if so
how joy there are people can
get a test
it is according to a priority
structure
and it's not enough testing
it's just as
simple as that
we have been pleading with the
federal
government for weeks publicly
letters
phone calls get us testing so
we could
get ahead of this
it's here's the reality this is
a war
like situation we're in a
wartime
scenario
yeah with a mar-a-lago attitude
being
accused by the federal
government right
it's so laid back and I don't
understand
it and by the way testing how
about
ventilators where is the federal
government making sure that our
hospitals have the ventilators
we're
going to need where is the
federal
government when it comes to
surgical
masks getting them distributed
whether
this is a case for a
nationalization
literally a nationalization of
crucial
factories and industries that
could
produce the medical supplies to
prepare
this country for what we need
so instead
of doing what the president did
which is
call everybody and say hey
let's get on
the stick here this douche bag
wants to
literally nationalize these
companies
okay you seem like a stable
person and
we don't have factories that
make those
products anymore the silver
lining to
this all is that we'll bring a
lot of
that manufacturing back and I
have to
say it again I cannot believe
the
coincidence of the past three
years
Donald Trump says China is a
problem no
one's ever talked about China
publicly
don't cares yet China and
immigration
China China China comes in
first thing
he says let's get our own steel
going we
can't trust Chinese steel we
need to
have our own steel without your
own
steel you don't have a country
you can't
defend yourself then let's bring
manufacturing back
then the trade tariffs then the
tax
break which repatriated all the
money
with the pressure on the
Chinese economy
and then by coincidence wow man
we saw
Han has to shut down well it's
crazy how
that works John Hopkins seems
to be in
the middle of a lot of this as
you
pointed out with the event 201
and we
got a note an anonymous note
from one of
our producers who operates in
in the
John Hopkins system
John is correct John Hopkins is
spook
central though I have not heard
anything
about involvement from US
intelligence
agencies what I have heard for
the past
few months my department of the
hospital
has been dealing with the
fallout from
at least 10 research doctors
who were
found to be spying for China
one of them
was specifically brought over
with money
from an endowment set up via
charitable
donation that is specifically
to be used
to bring over postdoc fellows
from
mainland China there's been a
push for
more funds like this to be set
up in the
department with the loudest
voices
coming from the docs who are
Chinese
nationals so this wasn't just
Harvard
this is rampant you just got to
think
it's coincidental how all these
things
happen I really love your your
booby-trapped theory but John
Hopkins
continues to put out webinars
and
interesting factoids and
podcasts about
the corona virus and sometimes
the truth
just wants to slip out here's
the most
recent panel discussing it and
so we we
saw a lot of rumors about
government
conspiracies in our dataset and
now on
the novel coronavirus there's
some
rumors about government
conspiracies can
you talk about what you're
seeing is
you're looking out at the
current
landscape right let's
information yeah
we have here you know we have
an example
of that coronavirus might have
originated in a lab linked to
China's
bio warfare program that's
misinformation
it's the interesting thing
about this
misinformation is that if you
go to a
different country it blames a
different
country so this is a
coordinated effort
to to sow discord and division
when we
need it the most when we need
to have we
need to have
cooperation come on this is a
coordinated effort to sow to sow
confusion when we need it the
most
exactly this is what happens
when your
spy inside John Hopkins
University
System is you get confused
that's a good
one I don't really have
anything else I
do have the New Rochelle clips
with the
update they got that yeah they
were
talking about this programming
people
let's bring the National
Guardian so
we're used to seeing the
military on the
streets the mobile testing
center will
serve all residents of
Westchester
County
but officials are prioritizing
people in
New Rochelle the town where
it's located
it's one of America's hot spots
for
kovat 19 most of the city's
cases
originated from young Israel
synagogue
of New Rochelle earlier this
week it was
made the center of a quote
containment
area by the state of New York
for two weeks for one mile in
every
direction large gatherings
would be
banned that meant closing
schools local
colleges and community centers
as well
as religious institutions the
state's
National Guard would also be
deployed
it's a sensible means of
controlling the
spread of the virus in an area
where it
has a high concentration but
it's not an
exclusion zone it's not a
quarantine
zone
no one is prevented from
entering or
leaving no Brant is the mayor
of New
Rochelle office he says the
state
National Guard's role in the
containment
area is limited the guard is
your inner
shell to provide logistical and
operational support principally
delivering meals to students
who cannot
receive them at the public
schools
providing supplies providing
cleaning
services to large facilities
these are
things that will be entirely
beyond the
capacity of a municipality the
size of
nura shell so we're grateful to
have
their support but they're not
here in a
military or police on function
and I
think it's very important to
draw that
distinction this is interesting
this was
what day did they talk about
this the
National Guard being there this
would
have been on either on
describers
yesterday
mmm okay because no that can't
be I got
a note for on Thursday from
producer
Andrew and he says hey I'm on
my way to
New Rochelle for a service call
but
apparently the National Guard
is there
and I don't know why he's email
his clip
is from mr. doesn't mean it
differently
okay it's a and I don't know
why he's
really mailing memes like I
hear the
National Guard is there I'm
like I don't
know
and so I follow up I said hey
man you
ever make it in he said yeah it
was
nothing
here's nothing to see I don't
know where
the containment zone was but
everything
was normal I could travel
around had to
pick up some auto parts yeah I
took some
pics of a Chevy and New
Rochelle the
head take look it's all in your
head now
you think containment zone
National
Guard you know I immediately
see the you
know like a Will Smith movie or
a Brad
Pitt movie with the National
gosh sorry
sir I can't come beyond the
checkpoint
no this is at this point
psychological
warfare at best by the media
itself for
ratings but probably a hell of
a lot
more this is crazy we could do
this
about anything what's in the
second part
of this report on a plant of
course we
have any idea how the virus is
spreading
in New York right now what we
know and
this will certainly change is
that there
are over 500 confirmed cases in
New York
State the majority of which are
in New
York City and just this morning
New York
State reported its first death
an 82
year old woman in New York City
who had
been suffering from emphysema
did indeed
die from the karana fire of
course you
know what this actually reminds
me of
War of the Worlds
this is like an Orson Orson
Welles thing
man 83 year old woman suffering
from
emphysema on her last legs yes
yeah what
mark down another killer killer
exactly
I will say I like that I like
the kids
who have given it the
coronavirus a new
nickname the young kids the gen
Z kids
is called the Boomer remover
like that
kids
you know funny thing is when
they were
walking by you can't rip them
and then
we had the the families first
acts
coronavirus response Act which
was
lauded as some huge great thing
that was
being done although as I read
through it
it seems like very poor people
will be
helped and rich people or
people who own
larger businesses will be
helped and
everybody in the middle can go
suck it
you're not getting anything so
and it
was about something many people
are
getting anything if you let's
go back
and listen to what he said they
let the
last clip New York City what's
this
population seven eight million
yeah is
it not more than that I don't
know
exactly I mean the chatroom
might have
the newest numbers but as it's
up there
it's in it's in the you know
close to
ten million and you have five
hundred
people that have been infected
yeah
there's one death I mean so
there's a
quick response team
there's no does nobody has this
disease
is five hundred out of ten
million
people right so I'm yes and
even if you
took the the Chinese example
one point
five billion people you know
it's a very
small fraction of the overall
population
but we're being SIOP we're
being we're
being just frightened by the
numbers and
online that propagates
beautifully
you're not being frightened no
I'm
saying I'm not being funny our
listeners
are being frightened to the
pocket Lord
this why is there only a few
voices of
reason out there because the
site struck
by the way yeah because we
don't have
any commercial interests a we
take no
money from China because
China's asshole
and we've we understand the
media and we
can do simple math and I think
wearing
we inherently are distrustful
of experts
telling us something and we go
and do
research and compared to other
experts
and you know we've been we've
been this
show has been looking at this
for eight
weeks we were talking about the
the
economic impact only from a
China from
the Chinese perspective and the
the JIT
the just-in-time supply line
eight weeks
ago so this is no surprise most
people
are like hold in fact most
people watch
The Bachelor the other night
that was
what they were really doing
sitting at
home watching The Bachelor
that's what
most people do the drones and
if they do
watch the news all they're
getting is
Corona as I mentioned the
entire show
yeah the entire show yeah
so by the way there is other
news that
we do it yeah we're going to
get to
coming up Pelosi tried to do a
big a big
grand gesture here we are yes
we have to
put families first and she has
the same
problem I have although I've
practiced
it and and I can say
epidemiology to
understand the people that made
the a
biological status friend under
the
spread of the virus you gotta
you got to
practice these things and and I
think
the saddest part of her
presentation of
what this bill is was what is
in it and
when she I was in the car and I
heard
this like oh woman seriously
you did
that the three most important
parts of
this bill are testing testing
testing
before we take our break let's
just lead
we can probably lead into the
biggest
joke of them all
which was
Joe Biden and Joe wanted to look
presidential and he wanted to
do a
corona virus town hall meeting
so he
could of course do what towards
the best
do what presidents do is you
know calm
everybody down before before
they
started before they started
they had the
crack audio team that have we
have been
following and just appreciating
to no
end for their incredible lack of
professionalism or hearing
capability
have completely screwed Joe
Biden time
and time again there's now
we're gonna
do right people we're gonna set
this up
we can't have this mess up the
no agenda
guys are talking about how over
modulated it is what is going
on fix
this get it right are we still
hearing
the heavy
we're gonna do the last final
Mic Check
for this one two three four
five yes
okay now again not a
professional Mic
Check we all know if you know
what
you're doing is check check
check one
two one two that's you never go
past the
two and then they kicked off
the wall
for the coronavirus with some
confusion
actual video from the Town Hall
no no
I'll tell you in a moment what
happened
but this this was the audio
from the
actual beginning so here's what
happened
and I'll start at the end you
actually
heard Joe Biden say we'll be
prepared
better so the guy who can't get
an audio
sound right for the life of him
during
the life of his campaign is
going to
prepare better for Corona what
they did
what they did is they used zoom
video
and these amateurs and I it's
just as
egregious as streaming the
president pre
and post is his oval office
speech just
as egregious they set it up and
there's
multiple ways to use it but
typically
when you use zoom video when
someone
starts talking it will switch
to that
person's video
so however they did it they had
some
people from the campaign
watching on the
zoom video the baby cries but
and of
course it's not muted so the
sound comes
through and then boom you get
the
picture of wherever the screen
switches
to wherever the baby's coming
through
then some Indian guy pops up
and because
he's making noise and
everyone's trying
to mute their devices because
they had
no training didn't know how to
use the
product and were clearly
ill-prepared
Joe ill-prepared and then with
all the
testing they did of his
microphone they
had an obvious you know
interface
mismatch even either the the
bitrate was
it basically needed to unplug
and plug
the sound card back in again
hadn't
figured that one out so they
finally
gave Joe an iPhone to talk into
which
made him look anything but
presidential
providing for the additional
funding
that would provide for no
hidden bills
etc and I can get it done I can
get it
done quickly and people would
be covered
but even I can't do that for
another two
year another a year between now
and
November are actually January
but to
become so incredibly sad a
disaster
those when he walks off camera
yeah well
it's not an audio gag
unfortunately but
yeah he just walked by off he
doesn't it
it was and and this was the
speech that
would show that he is more
prepared than
president Trump that's the
irony of it
all well the funny thing is is
the way
the Hollywood E's like Alyssa
Milano
comes out and says something
like Joe
Biden said he's loved loved your
leadership during the
coronavirus and
Rob Reiner is falling all over
himself
about how Joe Biden is gonna be
such a
great president what is wrong
with these
people we will find out
momentarily but
first I'd like to thank you for
your
courage and say in the morning
to you
the man who
to see firmly in the curve we
have to
flatten Jhansi de bourree well
any
morning you Adam Curie in the
morning
I'll ship see boots on the
ground feet
in the air subs in the water
all the
hockey refs and dames and
nights out
there yes in the morning two
trolls in
the troll room whoa
bingo I knew people would be
tuning in
wrong we're up to 1800 today
John that's
pretty big
that is no wonder people are
it's I've
seen this thing scroll by and
like lots
of people are talking
that's uh that's probably 25%
more than
we typically have nice to see
you trolls
and troll away very good no
agenda
stream calm it is truly the
best thing
you can have in your
coronavirus safety
kit is no agenda stream comm
because you
can listen to some podcasts no
commercials no corporate money
no
interruptions and you can't
roll away in
the troll room and all their
amygdalas
are small so you'll feel good
you feel
right at home no agenda stream
dot-com
and then a big in the morning
to Mike
Riley who brought us the
artwork for
episode 1224 our previous show
on
Thursday the title of that was
caps and
I was asked to mention
specifically that
he wanted to share some of the
credit
with comic strip bloggers who
had now
this was the the locust slash
cricket
look more like a cricket with
the sign
has said free food and a little
Asterix
kosher and he had indeed
uploaded it
twice once without the cochon
one with
the kosher and that was a upon
the
recommendation of comic strip
blogger he
put it in I think it actually
did make
it I think that that made it
just that
extra bit better to put the the
kosher
on there and this was since we
know the
Israelis love eating locusts
because
they're kosher and it popped it
was a
great piece of artwork popped
out love
it and we thank you for your
courage
Mike Riley is a part of our
value for
value network where everybody

elites
regarding coronavirus and
celebrate
celebrate the circle yeah
314 PI the circle a numerator
circle
number donation John your your
whole
idea I know but I'm getting
confused
with the elites a circle I
don't know
you've already reviewed the
numbers but
what hasn't been discussed are
the
unintended consequences my
family has
been hit in ways by the way you
know
they also closed all the Apple
stores
well that's a plus I mean that
was
that's a germ pit just waiting
to spread
all kinds of nastiness Apple
stores
equals germ pit next next
family has
been hit in ways that I could
never have
anticipated I'm a I'm a doc and
the AAA
a conference American Academy
of Allergy
Asthma and Immunology 's
canceled their
conference in Philly for this
week and
this was a minor inconvenience
and if
that we're all that was
affected it
would be minimal however my
college
Asian son is now stuck at home
for
another three weeks this is a
disaster
yes yeah come on Rose by the way
somebody pointed out the dinner
table
they expect a lot of two things
to
happen besides maybe a baby
boom you
know it yes the corona big
horse boom
you want to invest in some ik
divorce
attorneys you have I'll invest
in baby
stuff I'm a much more I'm well
optimistic I'm a glopped amidst
the idea
of the mom and dad having to be
stuck
with each other with the kids
at the
later ages yeah this is not a
recipe for
success now
and especially when they lose I
was
talking about this too when
you're
working from home not everybody
knows
how to work from home
it sounds oh I get to work from
home a
lot of people think it's a cool
thing
but when you do it it's it you
can't do
it a lot of people can't work
from home
and stay safe very difficult to
do I
mean I've been doing it now for
well
full time from home what the
past's
eleven years maybe of the 13
years of
the show maybe 10 yeah and
what's great
goes like this you get up do
some email
then you still got your
housecoat on and
then around one o'clock you
like the
first joint you're like you
know I
should probably get but I bring
my
a-game every Thursday I've kind
of
worked from home since 1985 so
I'm uh
I'm pretty easy which is why we
also
don't have any virus so we
don't get out
that's why we're not sick it's
younger
brother a high school junior
has been
most affected black face Ralph
aka the
Virginia Governor canceled
school for at
least two weeks yesterday
because of
this my son's my son's SAT
scheduled for
today Saturday was canceled as
well he
now gets to take the classes at

tests in a
month and a half in addition to
continuing SAT prep for the
test that
was canceled his class trip to
New York
City was canceled he finally
made
varsity soccer and that's been
delayed
at least two weeks the fact
that any of
my kids could make a varsity
team is a
cause for a huge celebration
the kid is
17 if he gets coronavirus he'll
sniffle
twice and keep on doing what he
does
yeah he has had the influenza B
last
month despite the vaccine hello
and this
by the way you learn about
Tamiflu and
that this time is greater
health impacts
on most people then the corona
virus
ever will anyway I apologize
for a
warrant piece but this has been
such an
overreaction to what should be
handled
with hand-washing and staying
home a bit
we don't recommend no sex as a
prevention of hiv/aids only
safe sex
upon hiv/aids will kill people
by many
orders of magnitude more than
covet 90
never will
that's a bungled yeah well no
maybe has
it been bungled or is it on
target
that's the question well we're
we're on
this fence about that will
close with

watching twit previously I had
heard
John talking about the show uh
that he
was doing twice weekly and kept
telling
myself I need to check it out
as John

this
message is with the heaviest of
hearts
an hour ago my dad bill aka
babo passed
peacefully as I held his hand
after a
massive inoperable stroke he
was so kind
and gentle I can't overstate how
influential he was in helping
me become
the man I am today he will be
missed by
so many people
totaled a wrecker no agenda is
like no
is an extended family to me and
it truly
gives me comfort that any
producer would
sympathize with such a loss
thank you

more than I can express love
and light
dad rest in peace barren sword
eh
slammer
Baroness Dame bangbang lady

[Applause]
[Music]
and just a general karma
therefore the
slammer family's dad with a go
with the
go you've got we all love a
goat hey I
got a viewing tip since ok if
you're
stuck inside and you want
something to
watch we just finished it last
night on
Netflix cheer this is about a
small town
in Texas Corsicana Texas who
has the
award-winning cheerleading
squad and
it's a five-part or six-part
documentary
it is really interesting to
watch it
sounds good
like it is it's all these kids
who come
from broken homes I mean the
really
messed up situations just
dropped off
and live in this trailer I'll
be back
next month that kind of deal
and they go
and yeah it's really really is
there is
that ah it's and and there and
there's
such a fleet very feel-good
pretty good
a feel-good type of series and
I think
you'll enjoy it it's and also
just the
athleticism is you know now
that hey
what else you gonna watch this
no sports
on TV might as well watch
cheerleading
while they're showing nothing
they're
showing old games it's pathetic
it's
almost sad yeah cuz they got
all these
games the basketball college
basketball
games are showing old games NBA
old
games you know old playoffs oh
can you
man can you imagine the hit to
the
advertising business the TV
advertising
business I've done imaginable
and not to
mention the empty stadiums and
all the
rest of it yeah it's just
pathetic
yeah that's why April 6 we're
done with
this shit April 6 we open-to-buy
I'm not arguing the point yet
you
haven't you haven't been proven
wrong
yet well no on April 7th I'll
be the
first amend it because
somebody's gonna
tell you meanwhile of course
what we did
miss or you may have missed I
don't know
who missed it because the
they've decided to put all
television
production on hiatus oh yes but
they had
to get mayor Pete on the Jimmy
Kimmel
show oh oh he's hosting it you
missed
this oh gee John I forgot to
watch some
lame-ass show oh I didn't miss
it I want
you know I watch David Spade on
repeat
so unfortunately because I
would like to
have seen mayor Pete in front
of an
audience instead of in front of
an empty
auditorium with a bunch of his
friends
there wait a minute so what's
chemo off
he just wasn't more Kimmel Kim
was doing
a pilot for the Who Wants to Be
a
Millionaire or some new show
which made
Regis Philbin a millionaire
yeah and so
the kimmells got Dan and so he
had to
take the debt night off but
they could
have just killed the showrunner
rerun
but now somebody came with the
bright
idea cuz they're a bunch of
Democrats
anyway
this is CBS ABC OH
maybe soon ABC is them somebody
went
back and forth with somebody on
this
about you know we know who's
you know
NBC comcast is a bunch of damage
basically affront for the
Democrat Party
CBS is the CIA
ABC News ABC is the big mystery
it's a
Disney who knows what they're
up to not
be ia that could be Russians
for all we
know and it is and it's got a
sum of gay
undertones throughout the ABC
Disney
empire and which makes nothing
but sense
of you things that they brought
mayor
Pete on like so you could talk
about his
husband being in the audience
of 10 by
the way the audience made a lot
of noise
so I have three clips oh wow
mayor Pete must have killed it
they're
short okay now the one is
Melissa here's
how he opens on the show and he
that's
have just as you didn't see I
wish I had
seen it because to just analyze
how I
think he was you know he had
that dumb
smile on his face the whole
time I
thought he was I didn't think
he was
very good and he had
professional joke
writers and but the
with if you're gonna be a host
on one of
these shows you got more
writing team
maybe of six maybe ten people
sometimes
they've had more sometimes it
had less
but the key to success is not
the
writing team it's you and the
writers
they come up with all these
pitches and
you're the host whoever you are
and
you're you have some come
comedic chops
for sure sure it's a it's a big
gig it's
not a small little thing I
would be very
nervous about doing that yeah
and he had
well he was he wasn't nervous
at scene
but his selection of material
which is
was his choice was piss-poor
and and then he had as his
guest I don't
have any of those clips I just
have this
opening he had Picard Patrick
Stewart on
and they basically creamed in
his pants
because he's a huge Star Trek
fan mainly
of the next generation series
because
he's not old enough to be a fan
of the
original series and and so he
did
everything but talk about Pete
he did
all the talking he was just
enamored
with the story and he did
everything but
discuss his collection of the
action
figures was weight weights and
now I
know why you caught the show
you were
tuning in for Picard weren't
you oh yeah
I got you
I really disliked Patrick
Stewart but
okay let's play mayor Pete is
opening my
name is Pete but a judge and I
am
running to be the next host of
Jimmy
Kimmel Live
now this is a strange night for
us not
only because this is my first
time
hosting a talk show because we
are doing
it without a regular studio
audience due
to public health concerns over
the
coronavirus we have canceled
the studio
audience tonight but a few kind
Kimmel
staffers and some friends my
husband
Chaston all here instead
everyone is
spread apart at the CDC
recommended
distance this was not our plan
we just
