Hey, everybody. Hi, guys. Well, from beautiful Salt Lake City, Utah. It's Thank God. I'm Atheist, the podcast. I'm Frank Feldman, and I'm Dan Beacher, and

coming up on the show today, Dan. We're going to talk about the shooting in Atlanta, and the shooter, and how he's a big old believer. And what that means. Yeah, I think I think we got a lot to say about about what, what all that means. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Apparently, I don't have a lot to say about it right now, but later I'll figure out some things.

Some words to add to that conversation. That's great. Yeah, I've been looking forward to it. In fact, but first Dan is we. So we brought up this guy before. Is the president of Tanzania. John Pomey Magu-Fouli. Perfect. Actually, I said he is the president of Tanzania. No, he was the president of Tanzania.

He's the he's the big old COVID skeptic who about two weeks ago disappeared from the public's eye. Right. Couldn't be found anywhere. And everybody starts speculating. And the rumors start going around that he had caught the coronavirus. Right. And he's now dead. Oh, at the age of 61. Oh, that's cool. Yeah.

And while it is not confirmed that it was COVID, because the government is, you know, the people who surrounded him are all saying that it was a heart condition. Right. He's died of a heart condition. Yeah.

That was exacerbated by COVID night. Right. Right. Heart conditions don't do well. When also you're everything else doesn't work. Right.

And I guess if you don't believe in COVID-19, then it didn't kill you. Right. When some part, some system in your body shuts down. Right.

And but this this the reason I want to bring this up. And I don't want to get into the habit of being sort of happy when certain people die.

But COVID has completely changed my perspective on this. And I think that if you, especially as the leader of a nation, if you spend your time, now, now, Tansen, this he's not just a denier. Let's back up on this.

They did not do a lockdown of any kind. Right. Right. And he's such a skeptic because if you want. Okay. So you don't want to do a lockdown because you don't want to like harm your economy.

Okay. It's kind of an amoral stance to take, but you can make that argument. You know, you're at least admitting the bulls you're doing. Right. You're saying I'm going to trade lives for money. And exactly that's what I'm that's my intention. Right.

But when you add on to it, the fact that he had made fun of the the Tanzania's coronavirus testing facilities.

Saying that he had secretly sent samples of papaya and goat and that they'd come out positive for the virus.

Which I mean, who knows? Maybe they did. Maybe they were. I don't know. But highly unlikely that he actually did that. Right.

Because he also never provided proof of his claim. Because why why do you need proof?

And and that he he used this as a warning, of course, to others that the the results that people were getting were probably just false positives. Right. I mean, basically, you're probably a papaya.

He also is responsible for the fact that the country stopped giving out coronavirus figures in May of last year.

Right. So their official tally is that 509 people have were can have contracted the virus and 29 people have died. That's still their official number.

This is what Trump was talking about. If you don't do the tests, then you don't have the numbers that you hand your winning. Yeah.

And so I bring it up. Like when I saw this headline, I was just like, good.

Yeah, fucking good. It's about time. They got, I'm jealous. Right. Tanzania got what we were deprived.

Because Trump should have died. The the the the ironic death of their other horrible leader. Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
