Latest news headlines: Second wave of coronavirus hits Asia (00:40), Chinese hacking (03:18), and life after COVID/working from home (05:30) Full Transcript (edited for clarity): Our first story of the day is one to keep in the back of your mind as these cries to reopen get louder. All across Asia, new hotspots are starting pop up, including in Wuhan, China once again, as well as Seoul, South Korea. In South Korea, they’ve deployed 8,000 troops there to contact trace each of the 11,000 people who were near the area where this second wave started. I know I’ve been talking a lot about it recently and making a lot of analogies about it, but after watching that Chernobyl series this past week, it’s incredible how relevant it is to right now. Before watching, I had always thought that the Soviet Union was awful for covering it up, and that was bad and they did have to answer for it, but I think they were also one of three countries who could have fixed it that fast. They had to send a lot of people in to clean up the plant and the surrounding area, and many of the people who did knew they were, at best, going to have shortened lives because of cancers and other diseases caused by radiation, or in the worst case they’d be dead in several days. But, despite all that, they still went in to prevent the situation from getting worse because they knew it was bigger than themselves; the whole Soviet mindset (communist has the same root word as community) was that the country’s success was more important than them. With the coronavirus, the South Koreans and the Chinese know that they have to sacrifice some freedoms in order to help stop it. In South Korea, they make you download an app on your phone, and in some cases you have to wear an ankle bracelet. Not to mention the fact that these 11,000 people are going to be contacted because the government tracked their phones to see who was near the hotspot (side note: I was about to explode at the author of this story because there’s this sentence “A gay man in his 20's, who later tested positive for the virus, is believed to have visited several clubs there.” The sentence is so out of place, and there’s absolutely no reason to put that he’s gay in the article. That literally doesn’t matter at all with the virus, so I was about to basically call the author homophobic, but then I looked him up and he’s gay, so I really have no idea what’s going on here. Very bizarre). Back to the point: obviously the Chinese people have far less of a choice, but both of these countries have willingly sacrificed some freedoms for the greater good. It doesn’t seem like we’ll have that here in America, and to wrap up that Chernobyl story, I don’t think we could have handled it as fast as they did, and it might have been worse here (as hard as that is to imagine). Last point: it’s going to be incredibly embarrassing when these countries stop the second wave before we even stop our first wave. Now one of those other countries that I think could have handled it is China, but our second story today reminds us all that they’re still not the good guys. The U.S. and UK governments issued a rare joint statement warning companies to reinforce their cybersecurity measures since Chinese hackers are apparently trying to steal information about our coronavirus vaccine research. With more people working at home than ever, there are also more opportunities than ever for hackers. Now I’m assuming most big companies have secure servers that employees connect to remotely, but even then it’s not 100% safe. At first I was wondering why they’d be stealing this info, but the article made me feel dumb because this is like the second most important information in the world right now after the nuclear codes (rant about W. making everyone say nuke-u-lar). Now I’m sure there’s a valid reason, but my first thought after seeing that is “why don’t we just share with them voluntarily?” Couldn’t we just collaborate? I read so many stories about this amazing worldwide collaboration happening to find a vaccine, so I guess I’m not sure why China would be excluded. But here’s a rarity: Trump’s racism actually probably saved us a little bit with this security. He’s hated them from the beginning, taking our jerbs and all that, but the intelligence agencies and Trump himself have been warning about the Chinese trying to steal our intellectual property, so I guess racism won this time. Still not right though. Here’s what Trump said recently about it: "What else is new with China? I'm not happy with China, could have stopped it at the source, should have," Mr. Trump said. "Now you're telling me they're hacking. What else is new? We're watching very closely." What’s amazing is how much he projects. He could have stopped it at the source by not calling it a hoax by the Democrats, but here we are.  Unfortunately, the way the news unfolded today, it’s pretty much all about the coronavirus today, but this last story is about how your world might look when it’s done. This article talked about the fact that the stigma around working from home is gone now, and we found out we can actually do it effectively. It’s like when they take the training wheels off your bike when you’re a kid, and you think there’s no way you can ride, but it’s honestly no different and you’re fine. As an introvert, I am super excited by this prospect. I think it’s mostly unnecessary since more offices are just cubicle farms where people work alone anyway unless it’s to goof off and make awkward small talk that nobody knows how to end except by saying “well, I’m going go to the bathroom/get some more coffee”. Also, I think anybody who had a long commute to work is going to think it’s pretty dumb to go back to that when you can literally do the same stuff from home. Imagine how much gas we’d save, how much better that could be for our planet. Lastly, I wanted to take this opportunity to rant about the 40 hours work week, which is a joke and a scam. Nobody beyond maybe the executive level has to work a full 40 hours. I’m not sure if this is just a Midwest thing, but when you’re at work there’s this peer pressure effect that basically guilts you into looking busy in case the boss comes by and never taking time off. It’s a joke. All these entrepreneurs, like the annoying people on LinkedIn, are out here saying “You have to hustle. You have to eat, sleep, and breathe your job” (looking at you, Mark Cuban). But the truth is that many of us aren’t going to be billionaires, or CEO, or even Vice President. Some of us are just here to do the taxes or recruit employees or something. And I’m also willing to bet that that same peer pressure exists among CEOs, so everyone is just fooling themselves into overworking. There’s a direct link between average work week and life expectancy, so we really need to take a look at ourselves and ask what it’s all for. Now there are busy seasons, I get that, but I really think you should only work until you get your stuff done.    Anyways, that’s it for today folks.

A Corona Day

We're back and better than ever to talk about Dr. Fauci's testimony, the new coronavirus relief bill, Mitch McConnell, and the Supreme Court. Full Transcript (edited for clarity): Our first story of the day is Dr. Anthony Fauci’s testimony before Congress today to give an update on the coronavirus and how we’ve handled it. He warned against states and regions opening up too soon, and said that it could lead to an outbreak that would be uncontrollable, which would actually set us back because people would be even more scared and there would be more deaths. He also tried to lower expectations for the start of the school year in fall. Fauci said that it was obviously unlikely we’d have a vaccine, or enough of them I’m assuming, by that time, but that increased testing by that time could give people more peace of mind. Now, I’m glad that he’s still at least saying he’s optimistic about increased testing, but come on man, we’ve been promised more tests this entire time. Honestly, I don’t think anything he said should be a surprise or even newsworthy, but we still spend millions of dollars a year on ads telling morons not to drive drunk, so I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised that we’re where we are.    In terms of what’s next for you and your family in terms of financial help from the government, the Democrats in the House of Representatives just debuted their next spending bill, and it says here that it’s 1800 PAGES long! You can tell this was written by the Democrats because it includes help for state and local governments, includes hazard pay for some workers, forgiveness of student debt, funding for Medicare and Medicaid, help for farmers, protecting renters from landlords, and extending family and medical leave, among even more things I didn’t mention. However, of course, Mitch McConnell has said that he thinks it's unnecessary to start working on another relief package. He said he’s worried because we now have a debt the size of our economy. Are you kidding me? That’s like someone saying there’s no immediate need for toilet paper after they just used everything except the last square. You don’t get to pass tax cuts that create a trillion dollar deficit, try to suppress information on the coronavirus because you think it’ll hurt the economy, which actually hurts the economy more than it would have, and now you’re telling us you’re worried? He has to be doing this on purpose, because there’s no way anyone has this little self-awareness.   Now, if you thought Mitch McConnell was done being a clown: no, no, no, no. Apparently, he was determined to become the world's biggest clown and out-moron Trump because today he said that Barack Obama was, and this is an actual quote, “classless” for criticizing Trump’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic. Classless. Yes, classless and Trump were used in the same sentence. and it was not Trump who was being accused of being classless. I cannot even believe this. I mean there's a video put out by The Daily Show today of the entire right-wing beast (Fox News, etc.) criticizing Obama for using a selfie stick. It is absolutely amazing. I'm going to get the video for you because it is incredible what they said about Obama using a selfie stick. And now they're calling him classless because he told the truth; because he said that Trump is incompetent. Those aren’t his actual words, but he said something like Trump’s response made the outbreak much worse than it needed to be. It's times like these that I really, really wish Michelle Obama would be Joe Biden's vice president. Can you imagine that triple threat? Trump would not be able to contain himself. She is a woman, black, and her last name is Obama. Can you imagine? It would be the “Mexicans are rapists” plus making fun of the disabled reporter plus all the other racist stuff combined (it's weird that there's such a long list). I kind of hope for her sake though that she doesn’t take it. Why does she need to, first of all? Why does she need to bring that on herself? But, if she would, it'll be a pretty good chance that she would be the first female president and that would be pretty momentous. Alright, our final story of today is probably the reason that you've seen Trump rage tweeting throughout the day, and it is the Supreme Court arguments by both the president's team and the House of Representatives team. It’s about whether or not the House gets to enforce their subpoenas to call witnesses and documents and that sort of thing, and also whether he can hide his tax returns. So, the lawyer who is arguing on behalf of Trump said that all these subpoenas and enforcing them would serve as a “dragnet” (a really dated term) to uncover alleged wrongdoing of the president. I'm sorry, so we're not supposed to find out about the president’s crimes? Do you think that they would throw up their hands if, good time for this example here again, Obama had committed a crime before he became president? Would they just let it go? I think they would probably want to know. And Trump's team is also saying that they don't want to be harassed, and that a president shouldn’t be harassed, which is absolutely comical because I've heard so many times where people are like “why are you afraid of the NSA spying on your phone if you got nothing to hide? You know, you should be okay with that”, and now they're saying “wait we didn't actually mean that”. This is literally just subpoenas. every other person, even as low and scummy as Nixon, abided by this. Literally every other president. For people who love to wave the flag on July 4th, who like to tell people like me how they're so patriotic compared to me, they sure want to make the president a king. Last time I checked, not wanting an all-powerful king was part of the reason we exist, so maybe hold off on putting the flag t-shirt on next time guy? In any case, I saw some legal experts, former prosecutors and such, on Twitter  saying that they think that one of the decisions here (there's a couple of these similar cases against Trump) could be like 9-0 against. I guess what I'm trying to say is I'm not getting my hopes up. I have gotten burned so many times, the last of which was when they appointed William Barr to be Attorney General. From that point forward I promised myself to stop. They aren't here to do the right thing or look at what's right and wrong. Honestly, it's dumb move on their end because they're acting like there's never going to be a Democratic president ever again. One day there will be a Democrat who is president, and then if they make Trump a king, then they also have to accept the fact that they will make the Democrat a king as well. So again, very little intelligence, and don't get your hopes up that they're going to do the right thing. Anyways, that's it for the soapbox here. Again, I am just in my basement renting to the microphone and it feels great. Honestly, I have to say I missed this, and you can tell I've been away for a day.

Today's latest news headlines: the news on the economy is going to be rough, someone close to Trump has tested positive for the coronavirus, his campaign manager says they're the Death Star, and corruption. So much Corruption.

Trump Wants to be a Death Star?

Summary: Today's latest news headlines: the coronavirus task task force is back on! Plus Trump doesn't know where he's going, but he's a super genius, and more! Full transcript (edited for clarity): Hello and welcome to this Wednesday edition of Quick News Daily, where we give you the news. no fluff, no filler, just news made for the 21st century. My name is Brett Spangler and thank you for joining me here today for a couple of quick-hitting news stories. We’ll just get right into it… I think the biggest news is that Donald Trump has changed course completely just a couple days after saying that the coronavirus White House task force will be winding down. He signaled that he heard all the backlash about the possibility of the shutdown of the team. In a direct quote he was even like “I didn't know how popular they were until I announced that they were going to be shutting down and then everyone started to get angry”. So obviously it's just proof that he just does whatever he thinks will play best in the media. His plan for the day are he just goes wherever the wind will take him I guess. Originally he has announce that they may be shutting down for some reason (probably because if there’s still a task force people would be questioning why all these businesses are opening back up), but now he says they're going to continue and probably meet less. They're not even meeting everyday anymore and the briefings have been getting shorter. So it’ll still be there functionally, but who knows how much work they’ll actually be doing or if they're just going to be focusing on the economic side of things and trying to get the economy back while also coming up with the loosest restrictions possible for social distancing. We’ll have wait and see on that one. He was also making friends once again in the briefing that he did have. He started calling out members of the press for questioning him too tough for when he thought was unfair (or at least what he says is unfair but know is actually just a real question and not a softball) and surprise surprise: two of the three reporters he named were women. Again, Paula Reid who you'll remember from the when she kept questioning why he didn't do anything in February, and it was that intense but great exchange that they had, she's from CBS. Also, Weija Jiang was the second female reporter he targeted, and I apologize to her if she's listening and I butchered her name. Anyway, Donald Trump said they were “no Donna Reed”, and first of all, have any of you even heard of Donna Reed? I certainly hadn't. One reason that that might be is that she died in 1986. Over 34 years ago. For context, she died before Chernobyl even happened, so what's up with that reference to someone who has been dead so long? He also used to call Jeff sessions. I can't remember the exact cartoon character, but it was from like 60s or something? Mr. Magoo maybe? Where is the guy's head at? I would wager that it's like sometimes in dementia, your long-term memory stays intact pretty well, but your short-term doesn't. Maybe it’s something like that and he’s just taking what he remembers, but who knows? Paula Reid quoted a tweet about it and said “Fact check: true” and then Weija Jiang had another great response as well, so I'll try to find those on Twitter and retweet those. Why this matters is that the big reason that the Democrats won so big and had the Blue Wave in 2018 was they took over the suburbs, and more specifically Suburban women. So when you know that's who you need to win, and just enough of that group voted for you in the 2016 election, kind of a strange strategy to keep bashing women relentlessly every chance you get. But hey, he’s a misogynist. They can't help themselves. Another thing here From The Washington Post that makes me question his mental state is he was talking about how when he visited a mask facility a couple of days ago, he said if it said that you need to wear masks, he said something like oh yeah, I'll probably wear one (and obviously he didn't because he's got to be Mr. Tough Guy there) but he said this to reporters just before he was leaving “I think it's a mask facility, right? If it's a mask facility, I will yeah.” He doesn't even know where he's going. He's getting on the plane and he doesn't even know what he's doing; he's just along for the ride and someone else is planning all the stuff out. Maybe it’s Kushner? Stephen Miller? He is just not right though. This is also crazy from a website called Cover POTUS (it's a news and media website apparently), but it says that “President Trump has long said that he and his uncle, famous scientist John G Trump, … represent a rare breed of super-genius, benefiting from the same genes”, and it goes on to say “It is not widely known whether the president, in his widely condemned recent suggestion that disinfectant be injected into the body to kill the novel Coronavirus, was somehow vaguely channeling his uncle's theories.” It's unknown?! Of course he wasn't! You think he actually thinks about that except when you ask? Why are you even trying to give him a benefit of the doubt for thinking that through beforehand or having any sort of plot? I guarantee you he just heard something about disinfectant, started daydreaming in the middle of what they're talking about, and then came back in and then had to go to a briefing. I'm going to guess that's how it went down. So no, he did not think about his uncle's theories. Good Lord. I’m leaning heavily on the Washington Post here today, but they have a new poll out, and I think this explains why I haven't heard much from the protesters lately. It says that 56% of Americans would say they're comfortable making trips to grocery stores. 67% say they are uncomfortable shopping at a retail clothing store, and 78% would be uncomfortable eating at a sit-down restaurant. So this whole reopening thing, you know, they may put that label on it, but the people actually can decide when we’re open again. When we start going out again, that's when the economy is actually back. And it might be fast, but this poll seems to indicate otherwise. I think that's about it as far as news today. I mentioned Chernobyl a little earlier and I'm actually debating on starting that miniseries, and I was wanting have any of you seen it? Is it worth it? It sounds pretty good. I listened to the podcast about it with the creator/writer. I think I'll probably get int it eventually. Give me a shout out and let me know what you thought of it if you’ve seen it.

Summary: Today's latest news headlines: the coronavirus task task force is back on! Plus Trump doesn't know where he's going, but he's a super genius, and more! Full transcript (edited for clarity): Hello and welcome to this Wednesday edition of Quick News Daily, where we give you the news. no fluff, no filler, just news made for the 21st century. My name is Brett Spangler and thank you for joining me here today for a couple of quick-hitting news stories. We’ll just get right into it… I think the biggest news is that Donald Trump has changed course completely just a couple days after saying that the coronavirus White House task force will be winding down. He signaled that he heard all the backlash about the possibility of the shutdown of the team. In a direct quote he was even like “I didn't know how popular they were until I announced that they were going to be shutting down and then everyone started to get angry”. So obviously it's just proof that he just does whatever he thinks will play best in the media. His plan for the day are he just goes wherever the wind will take him I guess. Originally he has announce that they may be shutting down for some reason (probably because if there’s still a task force people would be questioning why all these businesses are opening back up), but now he says they're going to continue and probably meet less. They're not even meeting everyday anymore and the briefings have been getting shorter. So it’ll still be there functionally, but who knows how much work they’ll actually be doing or if they're just going to be focusing on the economic side of things and trying to get the economy back while also coming up with the loosest restrictions possible for social distancing. We’ll have wait and see on that one. He was also making friends once again in the briefing that he did have. He started calling out members of the press for questioning him too tough for when he thought was unfair (or at least what he says is unfair but know is actually just a real question and not a softball) and surprise surprise: two of the three reporters he named were women. Again, Paula Reid who you'll remember from the when she kept questioning why he didn't do anything in February, and it was that intense but great exchange that they had, she's from CBS. Also, Weija Jiang was the second female reporter he targeted, and I apologize to her if she's listening and I butchered her name. Anyway, Donald Trump said they were “no Donna Reed”, and first of all, have any of you even heard of Donna Reed? I certainly hadn't. One reason that that might be is that she died in 1986. Over 34 years ago. For context, she died before Chernobyl even happened, so what's up with that reference to someone who has been dead so long? He also used to call Jeff sessions. I can't remember the exact cartoon character, but it was from like 60s or something? Mr. Magoo maybe? Where is the guy's head at? I would wager that it's like sometimes in dementia, your long-term memory stays intact pretty well, but your short-term doesn't. Maybe it’s something like that and he’s just taking what he remembers, but who knows? Paula Reid quoted a tweet about it and said “Fact check: true” and then Weija Jiang had another great response as well, so I'll try to find those on Twitter and retweet those. Why this matters is that the big reason that the Democrats won so big and had the Blue Wave in 2018 was they took over the suburbs, and more specifically Suburban women. So when you know that's who you need to win, and just enough of that group voted for you in the 2016 election, kind of a strange strategy to keep bashing women relentlessly every chance you get.

Trump's Super Genius

Summary: Today's latest news headlines are Trump, the United States, and Russia sit out the virtual coronavirus vaccine summit, a new whistleblower is out there, Barack Obama and Andrew Cuomo demonstrate leadership, and an interesting news headline.  Full transcript (edited for clarity):  Hello and welcome to this Tuesday, May 5th edition Cinco de Mayo/Taco Tuesday edition of Quick News Daily where we bring you the news, no fluff. no filler, just news made for the 21st century. My name is Brett Spangler, and today we have a full slate of news, so we have to get to that quickly but, first I just want to apologize for the late upload last night. I was running into some technical difficulties with my recording program (I think it's actually just my laptop in general), but I do apologize for that.  I also just want to give another quick shout-out to our executive producer Gwen! Hopefully this will get released earlier today so maybe more of you have a chance to listen, and I feel an obligation to give our patrons the shout-outs they deserve. Alright, let's get into today’s show. First up, we have a story about a virtual vaccine summit to raise money for a coronavirus vaccine. A lot of countries participated in this; it wasn't just the G7 (it actually wasn't even a G7, but we'll get to that in a second here). Notable headliners include: Japan, Italy, Spain, France, the UK, Canada, Jordan, South Africa, Germany, Turkey, China, and Bill and Melinda Gates. What are two notable names I didn't mention? The U.S. and Russia. Go figure; together again, long lost brothers: Putin and Trump. I hope I live to see the day where we find out what was actually going on between the two of them and people aren't scared to talk about all the bad stuff Trump did. I really want to hear. What does Putin have on him? It's got to be something good. It's got to be something crazy because they're always in lockstep. So yeah, something is up there. What impacts does it have for us since the U.S. isn't being represented there? We’re relying on countries with fewer financial resources and expecting them to be able to do enough with the money that they have. Even though the U.S. has just always been a leader since World War II (even since World War I even, but we can argue about if we led during the Great Depression), sometimes I wonder if it isn't better that other countries are getting together and leading since we're clearly just going to treat these issues as a joke. You have people who follow Fox News (who would have you believe that every person who's a little too tan is part of MS13) and live in fear that they’re going to “take our job” or something like that. Not everyone obviously, but Trump’s polling is so consistent that his floor is like 38 to 40%. So that many people out there just buy his stuff, and by he I mean Donald Trump, wholesale. They just listen to Fox News and that is all they believe. So when we need to solve these big issues like Coronavirus and climate change, we're obviously going to always treat these as a joke until...I mean that's why this election is so important: we can begin to go on the right track with Joe Biden. If we get four more years of Trump, I hope these guys (other countries) are ready to step up. And yeah, Bill Melinda Gates overall are pretty good representatives, kind of like a proxy a stand-in for the U.S. as a whole, but it's not going to be enough. But at least all these countries raised billions. Here's a quote from the article from CBS News about the summit, and let me just read it here: “President Trump has said the U.S. should have millions of doses of a vaccine available by the end of this year. He's made that the mission of a White House effort officially dubbed Operation Warp Speed.” I just want to let that sit for a moment. Can you just imagine if you read that sentence to someone from 2007? Imagine the look on their face and the sheer confusion. That is just a crazy headline. They’re getting real creative with “Operation Warp Speed”. And another thing: saying that the vaccine is going to be ready by the end of this year? I've heard Dr. Fauci say the earliest is like January next year, but Trump, you know he's always got to be a little bit better than the science people. He's like when you try to get someone to run on a treadmill by dangling something in front of them, like something tied to a string tied to a stick, and the stick is actually attached to them so they can never catch it. He just keeps dangling this hope out there so that it plays well on Fox News and they just repeat the lie. And then, like I mentioned from that Sherlock episode, you don't have to prove it, you just have to print it. That is what Trump lives by. Moving on to our second story here, there is now a whistleblower complaint about the response to the Coronavirus. Whistleblowers Dr. Rick Bright, who may sound familiar since we mentioned him earlier when we first reported on the fact that Trump only started mentioning hydroxychloroquine after a billionaire donor told him about it. Remember that story? He had a fundraiser with him in February and then all of a sudden Trump's out there pushing hydroxychloroquine like he's got to meet his monthly sales numbers and it’s the last day of the month. So now there's a whistleblower complaint, and it asserts that they awarded contracts based on “cronyism and political connections”. These Investments were in drugs and vaccines (companies studying them) without looking at the scientific merit of the organization and the way they're conducting this research. You know, I really hope that this whole coronavirus thing is over with quickly. Maybe it will just us go away for a bit in the summer. I mean don't bet on that, but I just want there to be enough time for the House to investigate Trump again because it seems very clear to me that this is another set of impeachable offenses. Corruption at the highest level in the most corrupt presidency. Except this time I think the impeachment might be a little more successful because the resultIs are not a held up deal with Ukraine. This time, the result is 70,000 dead Americans. How many people do we know who are going to die from this because Trump tried to ignore it? Hear no evil. see no evil, speak no evil. He tried to act like it was just going to go away. The thought that no one would even notice is just crazy. If you want to look to a real leader, these next two stories are for you. First up, we have what I think is the quote of the year from Governor Andrew Cuomo. This from CBS News as well. He said in his briefing today, “It's (the coronavirus) not red or blue. It's red white and blue. It doesn't kill Democrats or Republicans. It kills all Americans.” Not only is that 100% true, he had to say because Trump is trying to push this thing now where it's like “oh, only California, Washington,  Chicago, New York, and LA are getting sick. It’s all these Democratic states.” Obviously, it knows no borders. It doesn't know who you voted for; it's just looking for the weakest immune system. Now I do want to be the first to report on an upcoming Category 5 storm next Saturday, May 16th, and it is a Trump tweetstorm that will be incoming because CNN reports that “Former President Barack Obama announced Tuesday that he and former First Lady Michelle Obama will deliver several virtual commencement addresses in the coming weeks as high schools and universities across the nation are forced to hold their ceremonies online due to the coronavirus pandemic.” You know that Obama's going to go out there and be Obama and remind everyone what a real president looks like. If Trump freaked out that much about George Bush's video from over the weekend, imagine what he's going to do when Obama steals the show. So get out your poncho's, get out your umbrellas, and get ready. Our last story today is just a headline I saw. I read the story too, but the headline is that “Coronavirus can become very severe in kids, mom says.” Now, that may be true, but I think that headline is a little irresponsible. It reminds me of when your older uncle or grandma or someone is posting an article on Facebook, and articles from like 247news.net or something like that. A totally phony bologna website where they're just clearly in it to make money from the one million ads on their page. Like all those pop-up ads that they design so that they go right where you want to scroll. I don't know; this mom isn’t a doctor. No offense, but of course it can be bad for kids. There are always going to be these exceptions to rules. Of course kids aren't immune completely, but I just think we should leave those kinds of statements to doctors. But a little part of me says maybe we need a bit of a scare since everyone is clearly sick of quarantine. We had someone murder a police officer when the police officer told them to put on a mask. It's like Ma'am, you don't need to go to Dollar Tree that bad. Just put on a mask before you go to Dollar Tree, please .It's not asking a lot. Sadly, that's where we are.

Trump/Putin Still Buddies

Cruise

Today's latest news headlines: antibody tests can't escape con-men, J.Crew files for bankruptcy, Carnival Cruise does its best Titanic impression, and Trump shifts the coronavirus goalposts once more. Thank you to our Executive Producer Gwen! Find us on quicknews.podbean.com. Full Transcript: Hello and welcome to this Monday, May 4th edition of Quick News Daily where we give you the news, no fluff, no filler, just news made for the 21st century. My name is Brett, and let me be the first, or at least let me start off by saying May the 4th Be With You! Yes, it is Star Wars day, and that’s special to us here at Quick News Daily because our first episode was a review of Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker, and we have special news for new Star Wars content: we have just released our review of Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. So if you have the time, check that out; it’s the longest episode I’ve done so far, and it was so much fun to make. But we have a lot of news headlines to get through right now, so let’s get moving. Starting off, the FDA has announced that they are tightening the rules on antibody tests, which test your blood for the antibodies that are produced in the days and weeks after fighting off a virus. Now initially they had relaxed these rules in order to get enough production to meet the demand, but con-men are going to con and snake oil salesmen are going to snake oil. There are a bunch of people putting these tests out on the market that have super low accuracy; basically you couldn’t trust them at all. As a result, the FDA declared that they wanted “flexibility, not fraud”, which I think is a smart move for them because it would be super dangerous to have all these people walking around, thinking that they have antibodies against the coronavirus when they really don’t. Not only is it dangerous because they could actually get sick, but they could also get other people sick if they’re a silent carrier. It’s definitely a good idea to get these faulty tests off the market, and I’m glad the FDA actually stepped in. It’s hard to blame them for initially relaxing the rules because you really do want to get a lot of production out there. We were having a tough enough time getting regular tests out there. They did the right thing here, and there are actually still 11 FDA-approved antibody tests, so it’s not like the whole concept of antibody testing won’t work. Next up, we have some news on some big companies. First, J. Crew filed for bankruptcy. This means that the creditors are going to be taking control of the company, but they are not closing. J. Crew is actually getting $400 million dollars from the creditors so they can be comfortable with their finances while they navigate bankruptcy. This is a retailer that actually was a casualty of the coronavirus lockdowns, but they did have glaring financial problems before this. The former CEO and chairman admitted that he misjudged the impact that technology would have on the retail industry. That’s never a good sign, and that’s a pretty important thing to miss on, so it’s not like this is all happening because of the coronavirus. Another big company, Carnival Cruise lines, announced that it is starting cruises on August 1st. They’ll launch from three cities, with eight boats total. Carnival has said that they are working with experts and government officials to come up with procedures to keep guests safe. And in other news, the Titanic announced that they’re working with experts to make their ship unsinkable. It’d be hard to get me to go on a cruise, even before all this. It’s just a carrier for diseases; you’re stuck together, confined, for like three weeks, the air gets recirculated, there are buffets, you just can’t escape. It’s basically a petri dish on the open ocean, so I think it’s hard to justify what they’re doing here since it’s pretty much inevitable that another cruise will get coronavirus.  I just saw this come across on ESPN: legendary Colts and Dolphins head coach Don Shula has passed away at age 90. This isn’t related to coronavirus; from what Hank Goldberg said on ESPN, it didn’t sound like it was unexpected. Shula is most known for coaching Johnny Unitas, Bob Griese, and Dan Marino, so he has quite the track record. He also won the 1972 Super Bowl with the Dolphins in the only undefeated season in NFL history, so definitely a legend there. Our thoughts go out to the family.  Ending the show here today with some coronavirus news, at this time, cases in the United States are over 1.1 million, and at the same time Donald Trump is moving the goalposts once again for deaths. First he said it would be 0, then 60,000, and now he’s saying it’ll be 100,000. It’s never good when Trump shifts it up, because he only shifts it up a little, meaning that the experts have shifted it up a ton. So while it seems like it’s getting better, we can’t give up yet. He also said we’ve tested more people than the rest of the world combined, which is obviously false. The most generous stats say we’ve tested around 6.8 million people, and Russia, Canada, and Italy combined have 7 million just between them. That’s not even counting all of South Korea’s testing, so obviously not even close.  That’s it for news today folks. Thank you to our first patron, brand new Executive Producer Gwen!

Today's latest news headlines: antibody tests can't escape con-men, J.Crew files for bankruptcy, Carnival Cruise does its best Titanic impression, and Trump shifts the coronavirus goalposts once more.

Full Transcript: Hello and welcome to this Monday, May 4th edition of Quick News Daily where we give you the news, no fluff, no filler, just news made for the 21st century. My name is Brett, and let me be the first, or at least let me start off by saying May the 4th Be With You! Yes, it is Star Wars day, and that’s special to us here at Quick News Daily because our first episode was a review of <a href="https://quicknews.podbean.com/e/quick-news-reviews-the-rise-of-skywalker/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker</a>, and we have special news for new Star Wars content: we have just released our review of <a href="https://quicknews.podbean.com/e/quick-news-reviews-star-wars-episode-iii-revenge-of-the-sith/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith</a>. So if you have the time, check that out; it’s the longest episode I’ve done so far, and it was so much fun to make. But we have a lot of news headlines to get through right now, so let’s get moving. Starting off, the FDA has announced that they are tightening the rules on antibody tests, which test your blood for the antibodies that are produced in the days and weeks after fighting off a virus. Now initially they had relaxed these rules in order to get enough production to meet the demand, but con-men are going to con and snake oil salesmen are going to snake oil. There are a bunch of people putting these tests out on the market that have super low accuracy; basically you couldn’t trust them at all. As a result, the FDA declared that they wanted “flexibility, not fraud”, which I think is a smart move for them because it would be super dangerous to have all these people walking around, thinking that they have antibodies against the coronavirus when they really don’t. Not only is it dangerous because they could actually get sick, but they could also get other people sick if they’re a silent carrier. It’s definitely a good idea to get these faulty tests off the market, and I’m glad the FDA actually stepped in. It’s hard to blame them for initially relaxing the rules because you really do want to get a lot of production out there. We were having a tough enough time getting regular tests out there. They did the right thing here, and there are actually still 11 FDA-approved antibody tests, so it’s not like the whole concept of antibody testing won’t work. Next up, we have some news on some big companies. First, J. Crew filed for bankruptcy. This means that the creditors are going to be taking control of the company, but they are not closing. J. Crew is actually getting $400 million dollars from the creditors so they can be comfortable with their finances while they navigate bankruptcy. This is a retailer that actually was a casualty of the coronavirus lockdowns, but they did have glaring financial problems before this. The former CEO and chairman admitted that he misjudged the impact that technology would have on the retail industry. That’s never a good sign, and that’s a pretty important thing to miss on, so it’s not like this is all happening because of the coronavirus. Another big company, Carnival Cruise lines, announced that it is starting cruises on August 1st. They’ll launch from three cities, with eight boats total. Carnival has said that they are working with experts and government officials to come up with procedures to keep guests safe. And in other news, the Titanic announced that they’re working with experts to make their ship unsinkable. It’d be hard to get me to go on a cruise, even before all this. It’s just a carrier for diseases; you’re stuck together, confined, for like three weeks, the air gets recirculated, there are buffets, you just can’t escape. It’s basically a petri dish on the open ocean, so I think it’s hard to justify what they’re doing here since it’s pretty much inevitable that another cruise will get coronavirus.  I just saw this come across on ESPN: legendary Colts and Dolphins head coach Don Shula has passed away at age 90. This isn’t related to coronavirus; from what Hank Goldberg said on ESPN, it didn’t sound like it was unexpected. Shula is most known for coaching Johnny Unitas, Bob Griese, and Dan Marino, so he has quite the track record. He also won the 1972 Super Bowl with the Dolphins in the only undefeated season in NFL history, so definitely a legend there. Our thoughts go out to the family.  Ending the show here today with some coronavirus news, at this time, cases in the United States are over 1.1 million, and at the same time Donald Trump is moving the goalposts once again for deaths. First he said it would be 0, then 60,000, and now he’s saying it’ll be 100,000. It’s never good when Trump shifts it up, because he only shifts it up a little, meaning that the experts have shifted it up a ton. So while it seems like it’s getting better, we can’t give up yet. He also said we’ve tested more people than the rest of the world combined, which is obviously false. The most generous stats say we’ve tested around 6.8 million people, and Russia, Canada, and Italy combined have 7 million just between them. That’s not even counting all of South Korea’s testing, so obviously not even close.  That’s it for news today folks. Thank you to our first patron, brand new Executive Producer Gwen!

Carnival Cruise is Unsinkable

On the longest show of this podcast's history (so far), I dive deep into the Star Wars universe with this review of Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. I touch on the prequels overall, George Lucas as a director, some critiques I can't get past, my respect for the actors/actresses, the plot/memorable scenes of this movie, and the legend: John Williams. Thank you so much for listening, it was incredibly fun to record!
