Leah Feiger: That’s a really good idea. And I love looking back on 2016. How can you top that?
David Gilbert: Yes, it’s been a long time.
Leah Feiger: Makena, what do you have for us?
Makena Kelly: Okay. The last two weeks have been crazy, to the point where I feel like all my news feeds are filled with conspiracies all the time. But one I saw this morning was really funny. I saw Charlie Kirk and some people asking, where is Joe Biden? Why haven’t we seen Joe Biden to cheer people up?
Leah Feiger: Oh Lord.
Makena Kelly: …in the comments say: has he disappeared? What happened? Has he been murdered?
Leah Feiger: No. Are you claiming that Joe Biden is turning into a weekend Bernie’s right now?
Makena Kelly: It seems like they’re at least hinting at it. I saw one crypto expert saying he was very sick and would be kicked out of the presidency and we wouldn’t know. So yeah, basically Weekend at Bernie, when in reality the answer is that Joe Biden has COVID and his voice probably stinks.
Leah Feiger: Right now he is hiding in his beach house.
Makena Kelly: He’s actually just relaxing with a sore throat and we just need to give him a couple of days. There’s nothing mysterious or crazy going on in the background.
Leah Feiger: Well, that’s pretty good. Lauren, what do you have for us this week?
Lauren Goode: It’s a little unusual. I’m not sure if I would call it a conspiracy theory, but since this is my first time on the show and I’m from San Francisco, I think this is the most appropriate theory. There’s an internet astrologer who’s pretty well known, and her name is Amy Tripp. Her username is starheal.
Leah Feiger: Yeah. Wait, I’m so happy. I’m so happy that this is what you’re bringing. Oh my god, continue.
Lauren Goode: You know where I’m going with this. Okay, I admit I didn’t know her too well before, but after the news broke last Sunday, she kept popping up on my feed because people were retweeting or sharing her predictions. And what she had shared on Twitter in 2020 was that Kamala Harris will be 60 in four years. I see her running for president in 2024, since this coincides with her Saturn return. I don’t know what that means, but I like it. And then, because I don’t really follow astrology, but you have to respect it. And then she said:
Leah Feiger: And after this, we can begin.
Lauren Goode: Exactly. On July 11 of this year, Amy tweeted that if Biden is forced to resign, and then parenthetically, because he won’t do it on his own, it will be on the Capricorn full moon at 29 degrees Capricorn. Capricorn rules government and old age. Like what? Who would have thought? 29 degrees is an end. And someone replied: Any date? And she replied: July 21. So whether you believe in astrology or not…
