He's right about a great many things. (The first video) The mess we're collectively in doesn't rest only on the shoulders of republicans. He's also dead on about California with one exception: it was largely Republicans starting with Reagan that created all the restrictions, high end codes and the like.
Reagan was an actor and elitist. He wanted to run the lower rank and file out of California, and to this day everybody that has come along in the hierarchy of California government has kept that ball rolling.
He's right in that in her desperation, Ashli Babbit found a cause.
There's a movie I like a lot called "The American President". In that movie, Michael Douglas plays the president and towards the end he's giving a speech to the press corps when he says (and I paraphrase) this:
"Let me assure you people that whatever your particular problem is, Bob Rumson (the republican running against him) isn't the least bit worried about solving your problem. What he's interested in doing is making you afraid of it and telling you who's to blame for it. That, ladies and gentlemen, is how you win elections."
Pretty spot on if you ask me. That's exactly what happened. You build a message that appeals to the desperate, tell them who's to blame for it, and turn them loose.
A lot of lives were ruined that day. It's important we all remember that. Best video from Bill I've seen in years.
The 'Pack Your Shit and Go' is awesome.
Couldn't bear to watch Kelly Anne Conway. Just couldn't hit the button. I can't stand that woman and have no desire to hear anything she's selling now to try to save her career.

New Rule: The Baldy Award. Hang in to the end, cause he comes on screen to thank him.
Listen to this ^ how many times have I been saying in this forum that this was started in a lab. This did not simply jump out of nature, because it felt like it!
More will come out, before it’s over.
these are the kind of lectures I used to set through in college and listen to, semester after semester.
This virus just doesn’t fit the MO of other viruses we’ve encountered. It will not die out on its own like the 1918 virus did. This is man made!
Isn't the Wuhan lab simply a level 4 (or 5) research lab? It's certainly not a "one-of" in the world.
And let's be honest here - 1918 apparently had "two-tricks" by the definitions presented on the show and required four waves until herd immunity was reached.
If you'd rather have the deaths to reach herd immunity you best be ready for a helluva lot more graves and losses.

It's level 4. They wouldn't even have access to anything like this.
There's that.
What's more, there were only 108 million people in the United States back then. There was no interstate highway system. Even if there were there were no automobiles to speak of. There were no aircraft for air travel; even rail travel was very limited. Most people didn't attend school. There were no office buildings to speak of.
It was far, far harder for a disease to actually spread in 1918 and look what happened still. Covid-19 is no worse. It's just that the world now is 3 to 5 times more populated and you can move from one side of the planet to the other in a matter of hours, not days or weeks.
This didn't start in a lab. Science already has eliminated that possibility by a substantial margin.
And we already have (at a minimum) five variants in less then a year.
I’m still of the ( opinion ), that Trump pissed someone off, either the Chinese or others either the Russians, Wall St. Other rouges involved that set all of this in motion. Which is man guided, and directed.
If you listen carefully what the scientist setting there is saying, I listened to it twice to make sure I understood him, there is a process used which cultivated why “it attacks tissues.”
This virus
was was man made, hand cultivated, teased, cropped, etc came from nature; however guided, farmed by man.
That part is science.
Trump was poking the
bear, or he was in league with the bear?
IF only we can know or deduce the truth ?

We've known about and dealt with coronavirus since around 1910. It's nothing new. It acts now pretty much the same as it did then.
Why would somebody genetically engineer what nature has already done? It makes no sense at all.

I don’t know ?
If we had those 2 scientists at our disposal that we could ask questions of ourselves, maybe
we could ask them?Um, that’s an idea. I wonder if they have websites, or pages that they would float back some short answers if posted questions?
what an idea ?
I'm of the opinion they're selling a book.
I don't think there's anything at all to what they're suggesting.
Again, coronavirus has been around a long, long time. It's always acted the same way. SARS was the same way and came from China as well.
Fact is, like Charlie had said before, China is a dirty, nasty nation. The vast majority live in revolting conditions most of us can't imagine. It's very much like Africa and India in that regard.
Why do you think most nasty diseases (coronavirus, ebola, etc.) come from those places? It's not labs. It's that a very large number of people live in conditions just RIPE for disease to breed and mutate.

Then, we are back to what Dr. Wolff has repeatedly pointed out. It’s our system here that is suffering the greatest from it, because our capitalist system has failed and is broken.
Other countries have dealt with it far superior to it than we have, that are not as well off. Socialist countries doing far better than us around the world and Europe, and even Canada. Covid-19 cannot be our reason for the failure of our current systems breakdown. It has been broken before it came, Covid only exposed our broken capitalist system for what it is.
A laughing stock we have been turned into, because of capitalist, billionaires, the GOP, and mindless morons out there.
