Speaker 1: Good morning, Peepsen. Welcome to will gae F Daily with
Speaker 1: Meet your Girl Danielle Moody, recording from the Home Bunker. Folks,
Speaker 1: Today's conversation with our good, good friend, doctor Jonathan Mexel
Speaker 1: is one that frankly, we need to be having that
Speaker 1: the mainstream news is not having. And once again, I know,
Speaker 1: Summer you may roll your eyes and say, Danielle, my god,
Speaker 1: when can we stop talking about COVID when COVID is
Speaker 1: gone and which it is not. And today Jonathan and
Speaker 1: I get into a really real honest conversation about sounding
Speaker 1: the alarm with regard to where we are headed this winter.
Speaker 1: You know, we just all came off of the holiday,
Speaker 1: many of us mixing, mingling, holiday day parties, family gatherings,
Speaker 1: you know, all of these things. And the fact is
Speaker 1: that I have received and you will hear this in
Speaker 1: the interview coming up next, multiple texts from friends in
Speaker 1: different areas of the country who now have COVID. Some
Speaker 1: of them it is mild, for others not so much.
Speaker 1: Other people within my own family have been battling against
Speaker 1: a really bad cold that kind of mirrors RSV but
Speaker 1: hasn't been diagnosed as such. And during all of this,
Speaker 1: I have been taking zinc multiple times a day. I've
Speaker 1: been taking theraflu pills because while I was home for
Speaker 1: the holidays, both my mother and my sister got sick,
Speaker 1: and you know, trying to remember that we do, in
Speaker 1: fact have all of the tools to keep ourselves well,
Speaker 1: one of them being wearing a fucking mask, which like
Speaker 1: many Americans, I have lapsed on only really wearing it
Speaker 1: when I'm on public transportation, but not when I'm going
Speaker 1: into indoor spaces and not taking the same precautions that
Speaker 1: I was. And so for me, the fact that several
Speaker 1: people around me have gotten ill have prompted me to
Speaker 1: go and get my COVID booster, to go and get
Speaker 1: my flu shot, all of which I did at the
Speaker 1: end of last week. So take this message with you
Speaker 1: to your friends, take it to heart, take it to
Speaker 1: your family. But the reality is that we are headed
Speaker 1: into what Jonathan has said, and what I believe as well,
Speaker 1: is going to be a really rough health season in
Speaker 1: this first quarter of the new year. Why is that, Well,
Speaker 1: we will go into specifics, but basically, China has relinquished
Speaker 1: their zero COVID policy after mass protests, and you know,
Speaker 1: folks will say, well, now you see what's happened. Well,
Speaker 1: their zero COVID policy was pretty much not putting into
Speaker 1: consideration the needs, the emotional concern and how it was
Speaker 1: wearing on the citizens of that country. Because of that, however,
Speaker 1: you now have a billion people plus that are going
Speaker 1: to be in circulation with one another that haven't been
Speaker 1: for the last three years. And we know that COVID
Speaker 1: readily mutates when it has guess what, more host bodies
Speaker 1: in order to mutate with. So now we've just added
Speaker 1: a billion people back into circulation in a really huge way,
Speaker 1: meaning travel bands have been lifted, you know, people being
Speaker 1: able to go out and dine in all of those things.
Speaker 1: And we know again the world is not flat, you know,
Speaker 1: outside of what some QAnon idiots may believe. And we
Speaker 1: are more interconnected, more globally related than we have ever
Speaker 1: been before. So what do I mean by all of that?
Speaker 1: Brace yourselves. Things are going to get real different, real soon.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say real bad, I'm gonna say real different. So,
Speaker 1: if you, like me, ran out of mass over the
Speaker 1: holiday season, I suggest that you get on Amazon, get
Speaker 1: on wherever. If you buy them locally and stock up
Speaker 1: on the good medical mass. I suggest that you stock
Speaker 1: up on the hand sanitizers, that maybe the next couple
Speaker 1: of trips that you make to the grocery store and
Speaker 1: to the CVS, that you go ahead and you buy
Speaker 1: those home rapid tests that you have, you know, a
Speaker 1: couple on supply for yourselves and for your family, because
Speaker 1: on top of COVID, we have RSV, we have the flu.
Speaker 1: And again, folks, the boosters, the vaccines, they are not
Speaker 1: one hundred percent, but what they are helping us to
Speaker 1: do is keep people out of intensive care units, keep
Speaker 1: people off of ventilators, keep people as well as possible
Speaker 1: to be able to ride out sickness at home. So
Speaker 1: if you have not gotten your shots, please please please
Speaker 1: take this episode as the alarm that you need to
Speaker 1: go off. At the beginning of this year, as we are,
Speaker 1: you know, people are taking up resolutions, and as I said,
Speaker 1: I'm not really into the resolutions, I'm into intention setting.
Speaker 1: Wellness is at the top of my list in so
Speaker 1: many different ways, and so put your wellness, your health
Speaker 1: on the top of your list because we are going
Speaker 1: to need it as we go into the first quarter
Speaker 1: of this new year. Coming up next my first conversation
Speaker 1: with our dear dear friend, doctor Jonathan Metzo. Well Jonathan,
Speaker 1: Happy New Year. It is officially twenty twenty three. We
Speaker 1: have changed the calendar, and you know, while it is
Speaker 1: a signifier for some of of a fresh start, we
Speaker 1: know that I believe that the beginning of the year
Speaker 1: is very much a review of where we came from
Speaker 1: and where we think that we are going to be headed.
Speaker 1: So I want to start off today with you, Jonathan,
Speaker 1: with saying a couple of things. One, folks that I
Speaker 1: know we're hit with significant illness at the end of
Speaker 1: at the end of the year, my mother, my sister,
Speaker 1: some semblance of they didn't have the flu, wasn't COVID
Speaker 1: potentially RSV, maybe just a really bad cold. Folks that
Speaker 1: I know have COVID have gotten it fairly bad. And
Speaker 1: while all of this is happening because we have largely
Speaker 1: let go of masks, we have largely decided that COVID
Speaker 1: is no longer a thing. We're also watching places like
Speaker 1: China which have now lifted their COVID restrictions in a
Speaker 1: lot of ways. And now the United States is putting
Speaker 1: on and other countries putting on restrictions or guidelines about
Speaker 1: how folks coming from China need to enter into the country.
Speaker 1: So I just you know, as we're moving and we are,
Speaker 1: you know, in the beginning basically of winter, what are
Speaker 1: your thoughts on how we ended the year with talking
Speaker 1: about public health, recognizing that hospitalizations for young people, old
Speaker 1: people are going up because of this triple pandemic that
Speaker 1: we are in COVID, RSV, and flu, and how we
Speaker 1: need to be talking about public health and what we
Speaker 1: need to still be paying attention to in this new year. Well,
Speaker 1: happy new year everybody. You know, I have to say
Speaker 1: I'm about to say something I haven't said on this
Speaker 1: show in a while, but COVID's going to be a
Speaker 1: big deal. It's going to actually be a big deal
Speaker 1: coming up for us. And I know everybody's like, we've
Speaker 1: moved on, we're not paying attention all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: But you know, just think about think about cave people
Speaker 1: out in the out in the you know, in their
Speaker 1: day and they're like, we're done with snephylopteris. You know,
Speaker 1: we're sick of living in caves. We want to go
Speaker 1: outside to help with this new this new dinosaur, Torontosaurus
Speaker 1: Rex we're just going to go out, and then they
Speaker 1: got eaten by the t rex. And in a way,
Speaker 1: what we're seeing is a really terrifying I think, even
Speaker 1: though nobody's willing to admit it, new combination of virus.
Speaker 1: I mean, this new, this new covid is immune escaping
Speaker 1: in a way that we haven't seen before. And at
Speaker 1: the same time, we've got like people flying u from China,
Speaker 1: you know who are It's it's just it's it's really
Speaker 1: just a disaster that's happening, and it's going to get worse.
Speaker 1: And so I don't want to be like Debbie Downer again.
Speaker 1: I love puppies, I love um other galo PNEs all
Speaker 1: that shit. Um, but I would say that we're in
Speaker 1: for some COVID stuff coming up. And the other thing
Speaker 1: I worry about, again not to be a total downer,
Speaker 1: is we're getting caught with our proverbial pants and because
Speaker 1: and the reason I'm saying that is because at least
Speaker 1: the last time we had a wave like the wave
Speaker 1: we're about to have right now, we had been preparing
Speaker 1: for it. You know, we had rapid tests build up
Speaker 1: in our stock pile, and we've been working on a
Speaker 1: new vaccine, and we've been funding prevention and we had testing,
Speaker 1: and I understand, like you know, people are saying that
Speaker 1: that's not a good way to address a pandemic, that
Speaker 1: we should just ignore it. And I'll go on. But
Speaker 1: as we've said a million times on the show, the
Speaker 1: virus sets the narrative. We don't set the narrative. And
Speaker 1: I think the virus, unfortunately, is about to set the
Speaker 1: narrative in a way that we've not been preparing for.
Speaker 1: And so it's a it's an interesting time. You know.
Speaker 1: Hopefully Kevin McCarthy can do something to stop all this.
Speaker 1: But that was funny, But I would just say, you know,
Speaker 1: it's just our our divisions are great, our preparedness is
Speaker 1: not great, and the virus is preparing another attack right now,
Speaker 1: and so I just I'm concerned, you know, And I
Speaker 1: want to say this to Jonathan Um. I often thank you,
Speaker 1: right UM for you know, just continuing to join each
Speaker 1: and every week over these last couple of years. And
Speaker 1: over the holiday you might have seen it, maybe you didn't,
Speaker 1: but there was a tweet that went out, uh, and
Speaker 1: then a couple of like uh reply tweets thanking you
Speaker 1: and thanking us for continuing to have a conversation about
Speaker 1: COVID when it seems that everywhere else UM has has stopped,
Speaker 1: and that continuing that the only place UM, that that
Speaker 1: folks are receiving any information about what to expect, how
Speaker 1: to prepare UM is on this show. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: that's great. Yeah, And so I genuinely want to say,
Speaker 1: you know, folks can sometimes feel like we're beating a
Speaker 1: dead horse, like you know, can't you just let GOVID already?
Speaker 1: But the fact of the matter is UM is no UM.
Speaker 1: And and and so what happened and folks, and I'll
Speaker 1: and I'll share this is I got UM two text messages, oh,
Speaker 1: during the holiday week between Christmas and New Year's from
Speaker 1: friends in different regions of the country who came down
Speaker 1: with COVID. One was, you know, super mild, you know,
Speaker 1: just like some sinus issues, fuzzy. The other one is
Speaker 1: over a hundred degree fever, chills, body aches, as if
Speaker 1: they had never received the vaccine to begin with. And
Speaker 1: I got to tell you that it was a reminder
Speaker 1: to me, and thank god I did it. I went out,
Speaker 1: I got my booster and I got my flu shot. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because I had become fairly lapsed in. You know, even
Speaker 1: though we're doing this, having this conversation, I'm being transparent
Speaker 1: that I had become fairly lapsed in how I was
Speaker 1: moving and taking care of my own health and the
Speaker 1: health of people around me. And then when I got
Speaker 1: those two separate messages in the same week, I said, boom,
Speaker 1: I'm going to CVS. And I did, and I got
Speaker 1: the shots and I walked out no side I mean,
Speaker 1: I didn't have any side effects, as not to say
Speaker 1: that other people won't. But the reality is is that
Speaker 1: let us be your clarion call. Let us be you know,
Speaker 1: the canary in the coal mine that is saying to
Speaker 1: you that if you have yet to go get you're
Speaker 1: a booster, your you know, your flu shot. This is
Speaker 1: not the time to wait. I mean I I will
Speaker 1: say a couple of things. I I've gotten two boosters,
Speaker 1: and the second one, my second booster, I got this morning.
Speaker 1: So I'm in the same boat, and we're busy and
Speaker 1: other things are happening. But I would just say, now
Speaker 1: is the time to be careful. Now that the caveat here,
Speaker 1: of course is uh, you know, we should have been
Speaker 1: updating this booster, you know, like we should we should
Speaker 1: we We've we've defunded the science, We've defunded the preparedness
Speaker 1: things like the medications. You know, we we we did great, honestly,
Speaker 1: relatively speaking, science wise, compared to how it could have been.
Speaker 1: But we've just the loss and faith of public health
Speaker 1: has led to a defunding of science. And so the
Speaker 1: tools that we have at our disposal right now are
Speaker 1: not as good as the tools we had a year ago.
Speaker 1: And I just I mean, the Republicans are controlling Congress now,
Speaker 1: and that Congress controls the budget, which controls funding for science,
Speaker 1: and they're gonna defund all that stuff, and private foundations
Speaker 1: just cannot make up for that kind of funding. And
Speaker 1: so I don't know, it's it's it's an interesting time.
Speaker 1: It's it's an intense time. I mean, certainly everybody seems
Speaker 1: to have agreed to live with the virus, but I
Speaker 1: think the still the same old ways of protecting yourself.
Speaker 1: If you're in a crowded place, like I'm going to
Speaker 1: be on a plane on Friday, you can bet your
Speaker 1: petuity I'm going to be having wearing my N ninety
Speaker 1: five masks, even if I'm the only person on the
Speaker 1: plane wearing it. So at times when you feel crowded
Speaker 1: on safe bad airflow, you know, do what you can
Speaker 1: to protect yourself. But again, I think these next two
Speaker 1: months are going to be very important, not just for
Speaker 1: the urgent time of these two months, but also for
Speaker 1: the long COVID that's going to come out out of
Speaker 1: the infections that are going to happen. Now at the
Speaker 1: end of the year. In New York, where we both are,
Speaker 1: did not issue a mandate, but a more so of
Speaker 1: a directive that stated that you know, let's begin to
Speaker 1: mask indoors again, that it is a good idea because
Speaker 1: you have this triple pandemic that is happening, and why
Speaker 1: are people even if it is just a quote unquote
Speaker 1: bad cold, why is that happening? And it didn't happen
Speaker 1: last year because last year at this time we were
Speaker 1: all heavily masking. Last year at this time, we were
Speaker 1: all heavily testing. Those things have now gone out the window.
Speaker 1: And what happens is our immune systems you tell me
Speaker 1: of them, because you're the doctor, that our immune systems
Speaker 1: are not as um robust as they were to kind
Speaker 1: of these other particles, other germs that are in the
Speaker 1: air because we had kind of kept ourselves at a
Speaker 1: distance and separate from other people. And the masking really
Speaker 1: does work obviously in terms of keeping us healthy and safe.
Speaker 1: And so can you can you talk about I guess
Speaker 1: those shifts and changes and how we you know, maybe
Speaker 1: some ideas about how we prepare our immune systems to
Speaker 1: um to kind of to fight against us on top
Speaker 1: of right, in addition to folks, uh not an andor,
Speaker 1: but in addition to getting boosted and getting the flu shot,
Speaker 1: what are some things that we can be doing to
Speaker 1: boost our immune systems. Well, the scary thing about this
Speaker 1: XBB one point five whatever, the new one, is that
Speaker 1: it looks very immune evasive, and so it's not like,
Speaker 1: oh u, I had COVID six months ago and therefore
Speaker 1: I'm in good shape. Like this new this new variant
Speaker 1: is very immune evasive, and so it's a trade off, right,
Speaker 1: But the best thing you can do is to try
Speaker 1: to not get it right for right now until we
Speaker 1: know more a bit more about it. And that means masking.
Speaker 1: Masking blocks the virus coming into your body, and so
Speaker 1: that's kind of the best thing we got. Now. It's
Speaker 1: a trade off, right, because as you're suggesting people who masked.
Speaker 1: I mean, I have colleagues who massed for years, which
Speaker 1: I kind of did too, And you do have to
Speaker 1: then go kind of retrain your immune system. It's like
Speaker 1: almost like you're you're like a new bee. Yeah, And
Speaker 1: so I don't think that masking all the time is
Speaker 1: ever gon. We're never going to go back to that.
Speaker 1: We're never going to go back to mandates. But I
Speaker 1: would say that, I would just say that, Um, it's
Speaker 1: I don't want to be like two alarmist or anything
Speaker 1: like that, but I would just say the best thing
Speaker 1: we have right now in these two months is masking. Now,
Speaker 1: it's hard. Masking is not a realistic opportunity. It's it's
Speaker 1: not realistic when nobody else is masking. It just actually
Speaker 1: makes it really hard to mask, not just because of
Speaker 1: your self conscious but because I don't know people. It's
Speaker 1: not functionally realistic. So, um, but I would just say
Speaker 1: that masking is what we got right now. So get
Speaker 1: a good mask That's that's really the most important thing.
Speaker 1: Get a booster if you can. The booster is not
Speaker 1: going to totally get this variant, but it'll give you
Speaker 1: some anti bodies, which will help you. But but again,
Speaker 1: it's just it's just this weird moment of watching these
Speaker 1: It's like watching a slow mom car wreck. Really is
Speaker 1: really what it feels like, because here's the virus coming,
Speaker 1: and here's America dividing and fracturing and not figuring it
Speaker 1: out and all these kinds of things, and it's a
Speaker 1: it's just a weird time. It's a weird time. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And I you know, and again, you know, to remind
Speaker 1: folks that like, this is your health, right, this is
Speaker 1: your wellness. And so you know, yesterday, as everybody was,
Speaker 1: you know, coming back into town and you know, going
Speaker 1: to the grocery store and all of these things, I
Speaker 1: saw more more people in my neighborhood in mass in
Speaker 1: the grocery store than I've seen in the last six months. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And whether or not it was because they had a
Speaker 1: cold and they didn't want to give it to other
Speaker 1: people or they're now starting to, you know, sense that
Speaker 1: a lot of people around them, as as I have,
Speaker 1: are getting sick and just don't want it. And I
Speaker 1: think that to Jonathan's point, which is that yes, the
Speaker 1: boosters are not going to like turn you into a
Speaker 1: superhero that you have a full body shield. But what
Speaker 1: it will do is that it will help your ability
Speaker 1: to fight off whatever it is that comes into your system.
Speaker 1: The mask is to prevent anything from coming into your system.
Speaker 1: The boosters and the vaccines are that if something does
Speaker 1: come into your systems, that you're not going to be
Speaker 1: down for the count or you know or at a
Speaker 1: at the extreme need to go to be hospitalized. That's
Speaker 1: the point here is that if we take these you know,
Speaker 1: thoughtful steps and measures, then we can prevent severe illness
Speaker 1: and severe severe illness to Jonathan's point also includes law
Speaker 1: from it. Yes, so tell us again, Jonathan, just to
Speaker 1: remind folks, because I want us to be their alarm.
Speaker 1: What are some of the things that I've been happening
Speaker 1: with folks who have long COVID. Well, it's just it's
Speaker 1: just for it's you're tired, and you feel like you
Speaker 1: have the flu and last for nine months or something.
Speaker 1: And so I just think that I've got colleagues whose
Speaker 1: kids have pairicardial disease, hard you know, inflammation, some people
Speaker 1: have lung disease, exhaustion, um and and unfortunately, we were
Speaker 1: just learning a lot more about long COVID. I think
Speaker 1: what we think about it now is very different than
Speaker 1: than what people thought about it, you know, even a
Speaker 1: couple of months ago. And I think what we're seeing
Speaker 1: is that there's a new strain of thought about long COVID,
Speaker 1: that it's actually the residual effect of the actual virus.
Speaker 1: It's not it's not like oh, your bodies whatever, that
Speaker 1: actually there's still residual virus in your in your system
Speaker 1: and so um. And so we're still learning about it. Um.
Speaker 1: But but again it's hard because the vaccine may or
Speaker 1: may not help with long COVID, depending on kind of
Speaker 1: I mean, there's still there's still a bunch of uncertainty.
Speaker 1: And again, and this is understandable, we've only been in
Speaker 1: this fight three years. But I would say that what
Speaker 1: we've done, which is the biggest mistake, is really stopped
Speaker 1: all the development of our knowledge, right we I mean,
Speaker 1: the current vivalent vaccine that we have is the current
Speaker 1: valent vaccine that we have is is the result of
Speaker 1: like a lot of science about what the virus looked
Speaker 1: like two years ago. And but we have the technology
Speaker 1: to continually update update the vaccine, update our treatments, and
Speaker 1: I know that work is kind of happening in a way,
Speaker 1: but it's not happening the way it would be if
Speaker 1: we were federally funding more research, which was what we're
Speaker 1: not doing. Yeah, and you know, and what I will say,
Speaker 1: and I think it was recently on MSNBC a doctor
Speaker 1: was on Jonathan and she said that, you know, there
Speaker 1: are still thousands of people that are being hospitalized in
Speaker 1: hundreds that are dying every day from COVID. And while
Speaker 1: mainstream media doesn't still have the ticker on that we
Speaker 1: all got kind of used to in twenty twenty and
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one that outlined what was happening in each
Speaker 1: and every state, it doesn't mean that it isn't happening.
Speaker 1: And so the point of this message for our first
Speaker 1: recording together is to remind people that COVID has not
Speaker 1: gone away, that because we have this triple pandemic with COVID,
Speaker 1: the flu and RSV, that we need to be doing
Speaker 1: everything that we can, which includes masking indoors and in
Speaker 1: places that are crowded. If you're outdoors as well, but
Speaker 1: it's crowded to be taking care of yourself. And look,
Speaker 1: it's fucking winter and most of the places right like,
Speaker 1: why are you going out anyway, so you know, be
Speaker 1: mindful of those get togethers, and be mindful of how
Speaker 1: you are taking care of yourself and the folks around you,
Speaker 1: and maybe begin to slowly institute the things that we
Speaker 1: were doing before, which is washing your hands, which is
Speaker 1: you know, making sure that you're wearing a mask and
Speaker 1: crowded spaces. Maybe not going to the large you know,
Speaker 1: uh indoor event. And if you are going, please get boosted,
Speaker 1: Please do the things that unnecessary to keep yourself safe,
Speaker 1: and advocate for continual support. I mean, we're about to
Speaker 1: get a barrage where the entire COVID apparatus is going
Speaker 1: to be seen as a a China plot and a
Speaker 1: government plot and an oppression plot. And so the politics
Speaker 1: of COVID, unfortunately are also mutating, and so and so
Speaker 1: we are I just everybody be careful, but also realize
Speaker 1: that this is a system issue also. So last thing, Jonathan,
Speaker 1: for you is what are you seeing? Again? Largely the
Speaker 1: United States seemed to over the last couple of years
Speaker 1: lagged behind in about three weeks to a month behind
Speaker 1: other countries. That we're giving us some mirror into what
Speaker 1: to expect. And so is there anything that you've been
Speaker 1: following internationally over the last month, the past month, that
Speaker 1: is giving providing some intel and foresight into where we're headed.
Speaker 1: I mean China, un least the orc army of COVID
Speaker 1: on us. The zero COVID policy was great idea for
Speaker 1: a while there, just the virus outlasted the policy. And
Speaker 1: we know that the virus mutates as it circulates, and
Speaker 1: so all of a sudden got a billion more circulators
Speaker 1: and and and also a complete clampdown on information about
Speaker 1: what's happening in China, and so I think it's going
Speaker 1: to be super concerning, and it's just infuriating after how
Speaker 1: this stupid thing all started in the first place. Um
Speaker 1: that that there's still a clampdown on science and there's
Speaker 1: no transparency and so nobody, nobody really knows really what's
Speaker 1: happening in China right now in terms of how bad
Speaker 1: it is. UM. But but I would say it's not
Speaker 1: like there's any one country that has a corners the
Speaker 1: market now on creating mutant mutations. Member. We used to
Speaker 1: think like there's the Italy version and the you know,
Speaker 1: Shawnee's breakfast Bar version and whatever. UM and mutations are
Speaker 1: happening in our own neighborhoods now. But I would just
Speaker 1: say that adding a billion more circulators to the pool
Speaker 1: um um, you know, it probably was going to happen
Speaker 1: in China anyway, because that it was not a sustainable
Speaker 1: policy to lock down everybody forever. But I would say
Speaker 1: that it's just going to increase the mutation. And unfortunately
Speaker 1: the mutations. People are probably noticing a pattern. They never
Speaker 1: get better. It's not no, they don't. They actually get worse.
Speaker 1: Like I wanted, as you know in the beginning, a
Speaker 1: mutation that grew that cured male pattern baldness or give
Speaker 1: you a four hour you know whatever, or that kind
Speaker 1: of stuff, but we don't. We don't have the laughing
Speaker 1: gas mutation. They're all worse and so and so we'll
Speaker 1: have to see what happens here. And I unfortunately, I mean,
Speaker 1: there's so much other stuff to talk about, and I'm
Speaker 1: sure we'll talk about it, but this is a topic
Speaker 1: that is just going to really require continued attention. So
Speaker 1: I'm glad to hear from your viewers that that people
Speaker 1: appreciate that, Jonathan. As always, we deeply appreciate you, your analysis,
Speaker 1: your insights, your jokes, and thank you for ringing the
Speaker 1: alarm for our first interview together for twenty twenty three
Speaker 1: and folks, as always, we will continue to keep our
Speaker 1: eyes open and inform you as we get information so
Speaker 1: that you can continue to keep yourselves healthy and safe.
Speaker 1: Appreciate you Jonathan hanging there. Everybody. That is it for
Speaker 1: me today. Friends on Woke a f as always, Power
Speaker 1: to the people and to all the people. Power, get
Speaker 1: woke and stay woke as fuck.
