Summary

Andrew Cuomo will not give up in his efforts trying to convince Americans that he is the hero of the coronavirus story -but as you and I know - that could not be further from the truth! On today's episode we discuss his latest insanity. 

We also bring you a funny (or not so funny) story from England where Boris Johnson's administration appears to be confused about their own lockdown rules which, if broken, result in hefty fines for the public.  If the leaders can't understand their own rules and regulations - maybe they should consider revising them!

Finally, we bring you a very important story about the culture of sadness.   Have we abandoned the idea of feeling "lonely" or "sad" in exchange for more clinical terms like "depression and anxiety?"  When did it become so taboo to feel lonely?  We do a deep dive on today's show!

Please help us make ObamaGate The Movie possible!  Even $5, $25, or $50 will go a long way and you'll receive perks for your donations.   Donations also tax-deductible!  Please go to http://ObamagateMovie.com right away!

So how are you, where you are? What's on the show today? What's on today's show? Well, Boris Johnson can't remember his own rules. And by the way, he's the one making all the rules. But I have to say, this is a big challenge with the way things have been going. I mean, we're phone up, we've got friends in France, we've got friends in Ireland, in England and all these places. And it's very hard to keep up with the rules changes. But it's interesting that the people making the rules can't remember them. We've got a story about that. And we have advice. Here's a piece of advice. Watch the lives of others, the movie The Lives of Others, and I checked yesterday, you can buy it on iTunes.
