Summary

With the 2020 race upended, the stock market disrupted, and the Fed drastically dropping interest rates, NBC News Senior Business Correspondent Stephanie Ruhle (@SRuhle) breaks it all down from the inside. [1:07:05] And she sharply analyzes the spectacular collapse of Mike Bloomberg’s campaign from the perspective of someone who worked for him. This candid and fun conversation gives you insights into the mind and life of a charismatic leader who overcame tremendous adversity to rise to the top of business and political media. Uncensored and unscripted, the former homecoming queen, turned Wall Street derivatives trader, turned cable TV anchor, shares how she juggles work as a mother of three, the values her mother taught her that fuel her success, and why she loves tequila. Ruhle is a dedicated philanthropist, a media trailblazer, a champion for the underdog — and a fantastically fun person to hang out with. The former anchor of MSNBC Live with Stephanie Ruhle and Velshi & Ruhle, Ruhle was also managing editor and news anchor for Bloomberg Television and editor-at-large for Bloomberg News. She’s an advocate for a number of important causes including the Corporate Investment Bank (CIB) Women's Network, Women on Wall Street (WOWS) and Girls, Inc--nonprofit organization that encourages all girls to be "Strong, Smart, and Bold" through direct service and advocacy. Stephanie Ruhle is another important, inspiring and iconic American success story that embodies what this pod is all about. After earning a coveted spot on the trading floor of a male-dominated Wall Street firm, she used her wits and unstoppable determination to dominate the playing field -- eventually graduating to the forefront of broadcasting in cable network news. This episode is a handbook on how she’s done it. Host Paul Rieckhoff (@PaulRieckhoff) gets you up to speed on the biggest political news of the week fast. The passionate political independent, Iraq veteran and renowned activist leads the fiery conversation with Stephanie—and breaks down Super Tuesday, the Coronavirus, why Bernie Sanders is falling, and how the 2020 race is like Game of Thrones. And as in every Episode of Angry Americans, Rieckhoff offers an inspiring way to turn your righteous anger into positive impact.

0:00.0	Welcome to Angry Americans. Welcome to Episode 49. I'm your host, Paul Reichoff. And if you're not angry, you are not paying attention.
0:23.3	The report today, the global death rate at 3.4% and a report that the Olympics could be delayed.
0:30.3	Your reaction to that? Well, I think the 3.4% is really a false number. Now, this is just my hunch. But based on a lot of conversations
0:41.0	with a lot of people that do this, because a lot of people will have this, and it's very mild.
0:46.1	They'll get better very rapidly. They don't even see a doctor. They don't even call a doctor.
0:50.8	You never hear about those people. So you can't put them down in the, in the category of the
0:56.1	overall population in terms of this corona flu and or virus. So you just can't do that. So if, you know,
1:05.6	we have thousands or hundreds of thousands of people that get better just by, you know, sitting around and even
1:14.0	going to work, some of them go to work, but they get better. And then when you do have a death,
1:19.5	like you've had in the state of Washington, like you had one in California, I believe you had one
1:24.6	in New York, you know, all of a sudden it seems like three or four percent, which is a very high number, as opposed to, as opposed to a fraction
1:32.6	of one percent. But again, they don't know about the easy cases because the easy cases
1:38.3	don't go to the hospital. They don't report to doctors or the hospital in many cases.
1:43.0	So I think that that number is very high.
1:44.9	I think the number, personally, I would say the number is way under 1%. Now, with the regular flu,
1:51.3	you know, we average from 27,000 to 77,000 deaths a year. Who would think that? I never knew
1:57.8	that until six or eight weeks ago. I asked that question. I said,
2:01.4	how many people die of the flu? You know, you keep hearing about flu shot, flu shot, take your flu shot.
2:07.1	But I said, how many people die of the flu? And they said, sir, we lose between 27,000 and, you know,
2:14.2	somewhere in the 70s. I think we went as high as 100,000 people died in 1990,
2:20.7	if you can believe that.
2:22.2	But a lot of people, regardless.
