  • Summary

  • 1) Coronavirus updates a. Parents keep their children inside. Few people shake hands anymore. More than two dozen firefighters remain in quarantine. Restaurants and hair salons are close to empty. b. Such is life in Kirkland, Wash., the suburb just east of Seattle known for its folksy downtown and spectacular lakefront views, but now above all as the U.S. epicenter of COVID-19. c. Of the 11 U.S. deaths from the coronavirus epidemic, eight were residents of a local nursing home that is struggling to care for others who may have been infected. An additional death occurred at a Kirkland hospital. d. “I can’t kiss my kids,” said Hamid Dabbaghian, a 48-year-old cashier at the Kirkland Whole Foods who recently moved here from Iran and feared catching the virus from customers. “As a newcomer to the U.S., I’m worried about my family, and worried that if I die, what will they do.” e. The coronavirus outbreak that originated in Wuhan, China, has killed nearly 3,300 people and infected more than 95,000. The virus, which causes a disease known as COVID-19, has spread to at least 81 countries. f. While much is still unknown about the virus, a group of Australian experts have estimated that the virus may have severe consequences on global gross domestic product. g. New modeling from The Australian National University looks at seven scenarios of how the outbreak might affect the world's wealth, ranging from low severity to high severity. h. In the low-severity model — or best-case scenario of the seven — ANU researchers estimate a global GDP loss of $2.4 trillion, with an estimated death toll of 15 million. i. Toyota of Kirkland 2) Roberts Criticizes 3) Schumer Apologizes 4) Pelosi Facebook – Audio a. Implies Census b. Take down that site 5) EWarren out because of Sexism a. Nancy almost cries 6) Neal Schon and Jon Cain are accusing their former bandmates of attempting to gain control of the band's trademark. a. The members of Journey are going their separate ways in dramatic fashion. b. Guitarist Neal Schon and keyboardist Jonathan Cain have filed suit against drummer Steven Smith and bassist Ross Valory, alleging the two attempted a "coup" in order to gain control of the “Journey” trademark. According to the complaint, which was filed in California Superior Court on Tuesday, Schon and Cain are seeking damages in excess of $10 million. They have also expelled Smith and Valory from the band. c. The suit, which was filed by law firm Miller Barondess, lays out what the plaintiffs allege was an underhanded effort by their former bandmates to steal away the “Journey” name, to which Schon and Cain claim they own the exclusive rights per a 1998 agreement signed with former frontman Steve Perry when he left the group. That agreement followed a previous one entered into by Schon, Cain and Perry in 1985 via the corporate entity Nightmare Productions providing the trio with an “exclusive, irrevocable license” over the Journey trademark. 7) Sanctuary City Laws a. "As per recent Federal Court ruling, the Federal Government will be withholding funds from Sanctuary Cities," Trump tweeted. "They should change their status and go non-Sanctuary. Do not protect criminals!" b. The 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan ruled on Feb. 26 that the Department of Justice (DOJ) could withhold funding from cities and states that refuse to cooperate with the Trump administration's crackdown on undocumented immigrants. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/republickeeper/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/republickeeper/support
