    1. Phylum well I have both and I’m humble enough to say that there is some truth to what that great Korean Vet stated however college is an experience it’s not just something u do for a piece of paper. I’m grateful

    2. Don’t take your information from Trump, Fox News, Breibart, Bill O’Reilly and Alex Jones because they have their snouts in troughs of conspiracies and hatred.

  1. Southerner here. This GA governor has embarrassed and shamed the south beyond any stereotype I have ever endured. He makes Trump look like Carl Sagan.

    1. Trump supporter : Pffft, Carl Sagan!!!!! HAHAHA How many Twitter followers does Carl Sagan have????? Looooooooossserrrrr!

  2. another awesome interview! I’m so glad that truth still matters, A LOT, even for the Trump admin. Thank you all for your insights. also remember to wear a mask! Peace & healing light to all.

    1. @Fussbudget the Ninth Mattress stuffing could do the job. It works well with plush toys. But even the talking ones make more sense than he does.

    2. LJKfromJHB i think the Georgia governor eats toilet paper. That seems to be about his intelligence level.

    3. @Mark Dubya interesting hypothesis Mark. I thought he was going to wrap around his head 17 and a half times to form a non medical mask, but only after snorting three hydroxychloraqine 🤔🥺

  3. Just wonder whether Americans who lost their loved ones to the corona-virus are going to support Trump for another term when each additional day of Trump Administration NOW is already a nightmare !

    1. @Caroline Maybe What low self esteem the people have to have no backbone or strength to stand up to him and rid us of this repulsive con-man president. Those lousy Republican senators had the chance, but they stubbornly refused to let him go just so they can stay in power under him. So absolutely stupid.

    1. Clouds4Cheap I’m not disagreeing with you because wearing no mask made no sense to me and I’ve been wearing a mask on rare outings. Fauci and cdc wanted their own data vs using info from another country. I watched china wearing masks, so…

    2. @Josephus S Hydroxychloroquine was reported to possibly have helped in a limited number of cases and has not undergone any study yet with more than a couple of patients. It was reported to have some beneficial effect in combination with remdesivir. It is not that easy a drug to take for many and also interacts with other drugs and may cause significant problems for people with some other conditions. That is why they are now studying it for this application. People should not be running around trying to obtain it . I have taken it. I spent 9 days in the ICU with babesiosis and had a recurrence. Giuliani is not a medical expert and neither is Trump. I read the study they may have seen early on in this outbreak. It sounded positive, but again was very limited.

  4. Staying at home is a good thing. But when you go out for groceries and essentials when you get home do not wear your outdoor shoes in the home

    1. Sandy Allen you are So right. Retired nurse here. I always changed clothes and shoes in the garage before I came in the house. Thanks for bringing this up.

    2. Ekko Main ground has dirt and germs. Unless you don’t mind stepping in spit. And tracking mucus back in your house.

    3. @Darknight Actually, I’m one who just L♥️VES cleanliness (I’m not offended when people say I’m obsessive-compulsive when it comes to cleaning and neatness…not at all!). MANY Americans and Europeans just PREFER cleanliness and order. For us, it’s not about culture or religion (godliness), it just makes SENSE to keep our homes clean. Most of the dirt that enters the home comes from our shoes.

      I also never wear my jacket in the house past the front door (never have). Now, since January, when I return home, I remove my outer clothes, wipe them with large Lyson wipes at the door and place them in a bin…my shoes in another bin. Then I immediately head to the bathroom for a HOT shower and shampoo! (Peace of mind rocks!)

      I wash my eyeglasses, my earrings, my keys, the doorknob with soap and bleach water and wipe my phone with rubbing alcohol pads.

      Stay safe and well, people! 🧼💦👏 + 😷 = 👍

      Much Love, from San Francisco! ♥️

  5. Now that we got Charlemagne’s opinion, I’m dying to know what JA Rule’s opinion about all this is. Quick, someone call up JA. Shout out to Dave Chappelle.

    1. Yea, but his opinion was a steaming pile of crap… He believes in G.O.D. but forget that praying nonsense and definitely don’t go anywhere near a Church; Instead listen to the Scientists (Who are nearly all hard core Atheists…)

    2. He isn’t an expert on any of this and yet everything he said was valid. Stay home!, stay home and third stay home.

  6. Most of our problems result from us voting in people who can’t lead and don’t really care about us. That’s our responsibility

    1. The problem is that they come with good promises for THE PEOPLE,and we’ll vote for them. However, when they get in office they dont really have the power to keep thier promise. 🤔

    2. Nico Estelle exactly. And the heart of the problem is that reform is too difficult. System architectural change that is hundreds of years out date and designed to fight off a vastly stronger power in the British empire. Other parts are designed to empower rural districts so that they are not effectively disenfranchised by the numbers of urban voters

    1. Just four years ago, it was safe to take a Presidential announcement of facts as reliable. Those days are gone forever.

    2. @Jake McCoy is right but I am going to add this Yep , If Trump or any of his friends tell you that the weather is great and sunny outside , make sure to bring an umbrella + a jacket.

    3. I can’t stand listening to Trump, he is just awful, everytime. Our Democratic governors are the true leaders and we should listen to and follow them.

  7. I love Dr. Fauci’s reaction to the 5G tower, Covid-19 theory. He hasn’t lost his sense of humor and that’s a good thing.

  8. Trump makes it sound like it’s a hassle for the federal government to help out the states how appalling

    1. @Patricia roe it needs to take major hit in the farm belt for those folks to really understand the Danger

  9. The beardy sign language guy is so much more interesting and probably intelligent than the governor.

  10. Pray for Trump to be removed, and somebody with brains and compassion to take over the WH…good luck to whoever that will be, he/she needs it…
    God bless you😇🙏🏻💖

  11. “I believe in G.O.D, but I also listen to the C.D.C!” lol
    ❤️ lol that was perfect! Hahahaha

    Ari your reaction to that is so adorable! lol

  12. Seeing Dr Fauci’s laugh is kinda scary, considering he’s been delivering a lot of serious doom and gloom the past few weeks.

  13. Great statement from Dr. Emanuel about the Governor of Georgia, “What Rock Have You Been Under.”
