Summary
Didn't Dan Patrick get the memo that millions of Americans getting sick all at once are likely to overwhelm our hospitals? Are returning Spring breakers from Florida spreading the pandemic across the nation? And should we worry that some Amazon warehouse workers are testing positive for Covid? And why did the New York Times editorial board recommend that the entire country shelter-in-place?
Katrina vandan Heuvel of The Nation magazine sounds the alarm as to what we must do during this crisis... And Thom's callers raise interesting questions, like- why did Trump pull American pandemic researchers out of China last year?.. Who is Trump's real cadre of support and does the need to support their interests explain Trump's bizarre behavior? Meanwhile, why are the evangelists in denial about this virus and why is Falwell's university staying open?

| 0:15.0 | Well, greetings my friends, Patriots, lovers of democracy, truth and justice, |
| 0:21.0 | believers, and peace, freedom, and the American way. |
| 0:26.1 | The country is starting to melt down, but my cat is really happy. |
| 0:31.2 | We have actually three cats, the youngest is his name is kettie. We discovered I was |

| 0:40.3 | just type in videos for cats, there's one that's like eight hours long. |
| 0:44.7 | And it's some guy in the UK who is taking a top of a table |
| 0:49.2 | that is next to a little hillside with grass and stuff and he puts food on there and the birds come |
| 0:55.6 | and the squirrels come and steal it and the mice come and snatch what they can and |
| 1:01.0 | my cat has been watching this since 7 o'clock this morning. |
| 1:03.6 | He's just sitting there and he's still there right now. |
| 1:06.1 | Two hours later. |
| 1:07.5 | So, you know, cat porn on YouTube? |
| 1:11.5 | Am I damaging my cat, do you think? I don't know. I mean, should I limit his screen |
| 1:17.8 | time? These are extraordinary times, so I'm inclined to let him watch all the cat porn he wants. |
| 1:25.8 | But anyhow, meanwhile Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick of Texas, I mentioned this yesterday, said |
| 1:31.7 | essentially that old people should be willing |
| 1:33.2 | and enthusiastic to patriotically die so that Trump can put our economy back into |
| 1:38.8 | gear. Right. Apparently he didn't get the memo that most of them will die in a hospital, |
| 1:45.1 | clogging up our health care system and infecting our health care workers. |
