Leah Fager: It’s pretty good, and I love how it harkens back to 2016. You can’t beat this.
David Gilbert: Yes, that was a long time ago.
Leah Fager: Makena, what do you have for us?
Makenna Kelly: Okay. It’s been crazy these past few weeks with conspiracy theories in every news feed. But I saw one this morning that was pretty funny. It was Charlie Kirk and people asking where Joe Biden is. Why is Joe Biden not showing up? It’s a conspiracy theory that’s trying to provoke people.
Leah Fager: oh my god.
Makenna Kelly: …The comments section is asking: Has he disappeared? What happened? Was he murdered?
Leah Fager: No. Are they now claiming Joe Biden had a “Bernie weekend”?
Makenna Kelly: At least they seem to be hinting at it. I saw some code guy say that he’s going to be removed from office because he’s seriously ill and we’ll never know. So it’s basically “Bernie’s Weekend,” but the actual answer is that Joe Biden has Covid and his voice probably sounds awful.
Leah Fager: He’s now hiding out in his beach house.
Makenna Kelly: He’s really just nursing a sore throat, so you just need to wait a few days, it’s not like there’s something mysterious and crazy going on behind the scenes.
Leah Fager: Yes, that’s pretty cool. Lauren, what do you have in store for us this week?
Lauren Good: So this is kind of a weird story. I don’t know if I’d call it a conspiracy theory, but this is my first time on the show and I’m from San Francisco so I thought this was fitting. There’s a pretty well-known internet astrologer named Amy Tripp. Her handle name is starheal.
Leah Fager: Yes. Wait, I’m so glad. I’m so glad you brought this up. Oh my gosh, keep going.
Lauren Good: You know what I mean. Admittedly, I didn’t know much about her before, but since the news broke last Sunday, her name has popped up in my feed a lot as people have been retweeting and resharing her predictions. Something she shared on Twitter in 2020 was that Kamala Harris would be 60 in four years. I think she’ll run for president in 2024 because it coincides with her Saturn return. I don’t know what that means, but I like it. And then, I don’t really believe in astrology, but you have to respect astrology. And then she said,
Leah Fager: And after this we can get started.
Lauren Good: Absolutely. Amy tweeted that on July 11th of this year, if Biden is forced to resign, and in parentheses, because he won’t resign on his own, it will be at the Capricorn Full Moon at 29 Capricorn. Capricorn rules government and old age. What? Who knew? 29 degrees is over. And someone replied, one day? She replied, July 21st. So whether you believe in astrology or not…
