Yes, China has announced that they are building a thousand bed hospital in just ten days ten days to build a husband. There is no other country do anything that fast, like in America, it takes longer than that to get cable installed.

Yes, yes I'll be ready, but I guess this. This is a double edged sword of China's cultural efficiency, like the people in the country extremely efficient, but saw their disease right because thing about this disease going all over the world and an insane rate, unlike you, there's no real jamaican diseases that have threatened the world because, like the people Jamaican chilled out, you know Emma we affected is one person shall we got infected boy entire population, nor so much work.

Fun it ever make it up to remind you, may see something different on the road license plates with emerges. Vermont is the first stage in the country considering adding one of six emerges to their licence plates. The symbols would not replace any letters or numbers, and some drivers on the road are on board. If you were there Have the option to do an emerging, your license plate with animal GB, probably a heart and a rainbow

I believe in angry Bazin. I guess he smiled yeah. I love this angry face. The kissing smile I like that emerges. Unlicensed may lose a great idea. If everyone has imposed on their licence plates me so much easier to remember the license plate. If there was a hit and run exhibit somebody like you, the place. You know it was a number now to be like yeah. I remember it. I got it. It was three women church. I remember that they charge you anymore. At the same time, I do think emotions could also make life tougher for cops. I guess they gonna be out on the highway like suspects on the run, a dead for wounded him late model, shabby license plate, eggplant, water, skirt, water escort, sixty nine repeat, eggplant water, scored workers, sixty nine God help us all

that's what the headlines. This move on top story impeachment it's the constitutional way of saying by Felicia, and this weekend was full of major bombshells that could change the trial Bigley. So, let's check in on the latest, develop, in another instalment of the magical, wonderful road to impeachment

presidential harassment on Friday after three days of presenting evidence. The Democrats, finally wrapped up their case in the impeachment trial of President's Donald Julian Trump and now from defence, is taking the floor and presenting their arguments and basically boils down to this. One this is just a political attack by the Democrats. To trumped did nothing wrong and three. There are no first hand: witnesses who spoke to Trump a quid pro quo and at last one is pretty ballsy, because how you gonna complain about having no eye witnesses when you are the ones blocking the eyewitnesses, so pretty slick move you can't have it. Both ways is like, if you're a vague, and you can't complain-

but all the chip peas in your life. Ok, you chose that chick p life not just gonna stay quiet, except for the fact that you, but now this way gets interesting right in the middle of team trump. Making that argument about witnesses. We got some big news from someone who Democrats have been trying to get to testify in this trial, and I'm talking about John Bolton, former from national security adviser installed, HBO Deadwood, the White House has been terrified about what he might tell the Senate, and now it looks like we know why. Making overnight bombshell, former national Security adviser John Bonham, ready to turn on the president as news leagues from his explosive new book about what he claims really happened with Ukraine Bolton says the President hold him that he wanted to continue freezing through

hundred ninety one million dollars in security assistance to Ukraine until officials, there helped with investigations into Democrats, including the violence president trunk, signalling that he is going to paint John Bolton as disgruntled former employees. Take a look at its tweets from earlier. Today. He's a if John Bolton said this. It was only to sell a book. While this is a big deal, because we now know that if Bolton testifies, he would say the Trump personally told him that he wanted to hold up aid Ukraine until he got dirt on the violence, which is the whole thing. This is the heart of the entire impeachment thing, so I don't know how Senate Republicans can justify not hearing from Bolton now like like there's. No, We can imagine- and I would to a mother wanted to testify the judge just refused it'll, just like your honor, I I I saw this man. I saw the crime first hand luggage no spoilers most warmly. I want to see how it ends and, by the way is trunk, was running

argue that John Bolton is just another disgruntled employ grab nobody, but he, he sure, seems to have a lot of disgruntled. Employees like how come nobody ever leaves the White House grunt old. Thank you, Mr President. I am so grunting to have worked with you, so Bolton's book, Estonia, big Harry Curveball, into this impeachment, try believe it or not. The Bolton revelations on the only big new piece of efforts because remember love, Parnasse S, room he's right hand, man and the count from Sesame Sri well after upon us, said that he worked for Trump to get dirt on Joe Biden. Trump repeatedly came. He has no idea who this man is that's, even though they ve been over. They repeated more forest together then Mariah carrying Christmas So now the question is: is Trump lying about not knowing pon us always parnasse lying about knowing Trump well, it turns out upon us, has

receipts rating overnight. The release slow said new audiotape, the reportedly features president Tromp speaking to eat or froman and love harness at a dinner in Two thousand and eighteen on the tube. A voice are identified as Parnasse can be heard. Tromp at the ambassador to Ukraine was bad. Mouthing he's basically walk around telling everybody. We he's gonna, get impeached, just wait wherever harangue wrapped in Ankara to present a try. Has repeatedly said he doesn't know, live Parnasse round the tape they talking, detail about Ukraine, Whitehouse Press, secretaries, Deaf Integration said gathering doesn't mean the president of or even remembered, left partners at the president sets at Mummy many dinners and many many round tables with people that he does not know,

the president- has many many dinner, sometimes all on the same night come on guys. I'm sorry, you you, you just carmes, keep pretending that Trump doesn't know this guy, because for they said from wooden. Remember all the people he takes photos with. Ok, I understand that now there saying tromp can't remember all the people he has private dinners with what what's next, they gonna be like look The present gets matching quid pro quo back tattoos with a lot of people. Can't we expect that you remember all of them, but another thing that tape demonstrates is that once again, this precedent has an insane number of people cos he couldn't according them, when you are mobile, german people have secretly recorded Trump now: lawyers, AIDS henchmen, basically, everyone tromp trust with secrets is wearing a wire at this point. We have enough tapes to produce an album, which is exactly what we did

are you ready to hear president drop filtered censored? aware that he is being recorded it reducing now. That's what I call throb secretly record president put his trust in abuse. Legs. People they gave me is: as the you you'll hear recordings from the Do it? I got these classical with Tom arose it when he pretended didn't knows you got by Barroso. What's going on that you get about what happened? We looked the best remover five hundred thousand hours about you rob places like the accidents holly. We remember the pleasant take advantage now, because we will never have a president. This gullible is also not enable and call the next I admit it will this bone

the baby? Now that's what I call the president's living there is no guarantee records will be alright. I guess, is an of whose critically acclaimed new book is called interior. Chinatown. Please welcome Charles

you and congratulations on a book that has gotten many many many people talking critics loving it saying it's a beautiful new way to talk about a story that everybody wants to be talking about right now: Interior Chinatown, it's a novel! Yes, but when you read, is basically ridden like a screenplay rent. What why did you do that? I work in Hollywood. Sorted had the software, so I just picked up. You know it's. I think, a lot of what The argument of previous segment stories resonate with people, Ryan Movies. Tv really do, and I wanted to tell the story that way, also because of what the stories about, which is a character. Willis will write

it's interesting- that that new you, you make it so simple, because that's really, what is its a story about a character, will issue who is a man who just dreams of making a big on the big screen and, what's what's what's beautiful in what resonates in the book? Is it talks about challenges that he in so many asian Americans and Asians in America, faced with being represented on Green in a way that is not boil down to stereotypes. Right yeah, I mean it's his dream so willing to Willis story is basically that he whose job is to be generic asian man on a show called. And white and dumb so that unites frequency law and order right, and you have the two leads in the front and their discussing the case and way in the back pretty much out of focus. Is like an asian guy unloading of an right. I was like what have you told the story from that guy's

In our view, in the law and order uniform universe, frightened- and I and I started- get interested in this world and exploring the world, because the view from the bottom looks different than the view from where the leads are standing. It really is powerful because you talk about in this book one man's journey, but but really lot of this book deals with how Asians have been pushed to the side in american lot of storytelling. Ill. Some some people have argued, though, that that Asians haven't good, though because they go let go at least asian people have the model minority thing to them so that they are seen as less threatening and given more opportunities. But but you have a different view on that idea. Yeah

Absolutely. I think you know the motto: minority is just sort of the angels strategy of divide. You know, divide and conquer. Holding one group up justifies holding a group apart, and it's not just your sort of saying Asians have a good you're kind of showing the other groups. You could do it to re, write right and also. The fact is. There are plenty of agents who have not succeeded. There are the characters in this book are struggling economically, the struggling to assimilate culturally and that's a story that we don't see. As often we see in the media stories about agents except asian american success, but not always this story in this book is a is a character who dreams of just getting to play the lead in a kung FU film. That's that's what he's dreaming of doing interesting enough, though, and I mean I get why the characters doing it. That's one of the things that you say like always broke your heart in the smallest way, when you be watching TV with your family,

if you'd look up, we see an asian personal screen, you be like, while that's amazing, and then they would always be distilled into like a few categories. What like, why do you think that that affect you so much, especially with your children, right yeah, I mean that is exactly what is happening now. Is that I'm a dad and I'm my kids are old enough that we watch stories together and sort of I had made peace with being. You know, watching Asians on the side, but now there are old enough that I have to turn explained to them in a wise that guy doing a funny accident or right. Why is that person squinting their eyes and playing an Asian on tv? And you know there has been a lot of progress. We see stories about Asians, but we still don't see enough and we don't. I don't I wanted to be able to explain to them, so I had to kind of work through it in this book and, for instance, I was recently watching the golden globes and I watched aquiline get that award and right daughter was sitting next to me and it was like I felt uplifted, and so did she. I could see in her eyes that this was something that we'd both remember.

And at the same time we see things on tv where you certainly can't believe that that still on tv and radio, twenty twenty, so yeah, it's it's a really funny story. You know that I loved it moves. It's fast pace. It feels like you watching a movie in a movie which is really fun and it talks about something that I think we all need to be talking about more. Thank you.
