- 0:07[SPEAKER_05]: What's going on people?
- 0:09[SPEAKER_05]: Good day to you, good day to you.
- 0:11[SPEAKER_05]: How is the world treating you guys?
- 0:14[SPEAKER_05]: Hopefully you guys had a great weekend.
- 0:17[SPEAKER_05]: And you guys are back at it.
- 0:18[SPEAKER_05]: Today is the 18th of May, 2026.
- 0:23[SPEAKER_05]: And we have had a heat wave hit nation all over.
- 0:27[SPEAKER_05]: We're 14 days out of, I believe, tornado and hurricane season.
- 0:33[SPEAKER_05]: And it starts on June 1st.
- 0:35[SPEAKER_05]: So guys, be prepared for weather changes and things to come together.
- 0:42[SPEAKER_05]: we have so much stuff already on our plate and more to come.
- 0:51[SPEAKER_05]: Yesterday, the other day, fogging started, I got to tell you what happened, another day I went to the gas station.
- 0:58[SPEAKER_05]: And you know, if you are impacted by this, then you know what I'm talking about, I took out $20 to put some gas in the car and that's like
- 1:11[SPEAKER_05]: $20.
- 1:12[SPEAKER_05]: But all of us, and our times to come have realized that $20 don't go as far as it used to.
- 1:20[SPEAKER_05]: And that might be just because of iconic.
- 1:26[SPEAKER_05]: For the first time listeners at a long time listeners, my name is Germaine McCrimon, and you're currently listening to who mainly unplug podcasts.
- 1:34[SPEAKER_05]: We're on social, on all social media platforms, and we invite you to come in and take off your shoes, relax your feet.
- 1:43[SPEAKER_05]: Get some information, get your pen and pad ready.
- 1:47[SPEAKER_05]: And these are just my thoughts, my beliefs, what I think is going on.
- 1:51[SPEAKER_05]: A lot of things we talk about here on this channel,
- 1:55[SPEAKER_05]: all real life things that happen and we give you information that you might can pass along to someone that's listening.
- 2:06[SPEAKER_05]: We've been doing this now for two years and it will be two years coming and we enjoy it.
- 2:14[SPEAKER_05]: We enjoy share with you action reaction videos, a common conversation and things
- 2:24[SPEAKER_05]: I'm talking about this gas station analogy, and Max is not even analogy it happened.
- 2:32[SPEAKER_05]: I went and put $20 for gas in my car, and I barely got four gallons of gas with $20.
- 2:42[SPEAKER_05]: Now, for those you don't know four gallons when you get you nowhere, but where I'm at four gallons is still some gas.
- 2:55[SPEAKER_05]: half and believe it or not, I was the light was on.
- 3:00[SPEAKER_05]: I know me don't run my car that low, but I did because I didn't rush to put gas in it.
- 3:06[SPEAKER_05]: I'm not going nowhere.
- 3:08[SPEAKER_05]: I can honestly tell you guys, I'm somewhat of a routine, a routine guy.
- 3:13[SPEAKER_05]: I have the same routine I do every day just about.
- 3:16[SPEAKER_05]: I notice things within my routine every once in a while.
- 3:19[SPEAKER_05]: I might go outside of the lines.
- 3:22[SPEAKER_05]: But I'm a creature of habit.
- 3:24[SPEAKER_05]: And most of us are a creature of habit.
- 3:27[SPEAKER_05]: We do something that we normally do every day because that's part of us normal routine and what we do.
- 3:34[SPEAKER_05]: And the day we miss it or the day something happens, we know it's actually where to look at where the error or what my to place where they happen at.
- 3:44[SPEAKER_05]: And I was just shocked when I look at the indicator of my gas and then showed I was not on half, of course, but it wasn't as high as it normally get me.
- 3:57[SPEAKER_05]: So our economy is being squeezed every day.
- 4:04[SPEAKER_05]: and our president doesn't even care about our financial state of the citizens of the United States because he know I guess it got to get worse before it gets better, at least that's the cliche that people say about America is got to get worse before it gets better.
- 4:22[SPEAKER_05]: And when you look at everything we go on through last episode, we talked about the Hanivirus,
- 4:36[SPEAKER_05]: I want to give you a slogan, so you can guess when I'm talking about on this episode.
- 4:42[SPEAKER_05]: And the commercials that come on TV, the man who's standing in the mountain, they used to say, RECOLA, I mean, they should say it's so funny, as kids, when we heard this commercial, sometimes we would stop playing and say, RECOLA.
- 5:01[SPEAKER_05]: because that was the cough drop that they put medication into, allegedly help you in your symptoms.
- 5:07[SPEAKER_05]: But now there's a new slogan that's out.
- 5:11[SPEAKER_05]: And it goes like this.
- 5:15[SPEAKER_05]: Ebola.
- 5:19[SPEAKER_05]: Ebola.
- 5:22[SPEAKER_05]: Yes, guys.
- 5:23[SPEAKER_05]: Ebola has been out 11 years ago.
- 5:27[SPEAKER_05]: It came back.
- 5:29[SPEAKER_05]: never really went away.
- 5:30[SPEAKER_05]: I don't want you to know that majority of the things that we endure here never really goes away.
- 5:38[SPEAKER_05]: It just simmer down a little bit and it comes off the radar for news to broadcast it into, put it on your table, your agenda, in your eyes every day.
- 5:47[SPEAKER_05]: What normally happens is
- 5:49[SPEAKER_05]: they will let it ride for a little bit.
- 5:51[SPEAKER_05]: CDC and say, okay, that's enough.
- 5:54[SPEAKER_05]: Don't talk about it no more.
- 5:55[SPEAKER_05]: And then they let it die down, but it's still their festering.
- 5:58[SPEAKER_05]: And Ebola has been out for a while.
- 6:01[SPEAKER_05]: And now it has festered up again in Uganda and Congo.
- 6:06[SPEAKER_05]: And it's over there.
- 6:07[SPEAKER_05]: And
- 6:08[SPEAKER_05]: You know, 11 years ago, it was in Texas.
- 6:11[SPEAKER_05]: And these diseases, these airborne passages, these things that are coming around, that are tacking everyone is nonstop.
- 6:22[SPEAKER_05]: And a lot of it goes with the weather, as well.
- 6:25[SPEAKER_05]: If festers in the heat, it multiplies.
- 6:28[SPEAKER_05]: It does very well when it gets, when the weather changes, the problem is out there.
- 6:32[SPEAKER_05]: You know,
- 6:34[SPEAKER_05]: insects carried is, you know, to me now don't get me wrong.
- 6:41[SPEAKER_05]: We have so many species of insects out here that we don't know what transmits what we know we have a faint idea of what we believe transfers and moves throughout the system, but we don't particularly have a hundred percent sure accuracy of what's going on.
- 7:07[SPEAKER_05]: all these missing people that from top secret levels are now not around or passed or murdered or allegedly killed, kidnapped, whatever you want to say, might have had answers to a lot of questions that American people have.
- 7:24[SPEAKER_05]: And being in the fact that they're not around to speak anymore on behalf, it gives you a good idea of what's going on.
- 7:32[SPEAKER_05]: Now,
- 7:33[SPEAKER_05]: who's to say what happened to them, but who's to say, who's releasing these diseases?
- 7:38[SPEAKER_05]: Well, we know Wu Heng, Wu Tang, whatever, over there in Seoul, Korea, South Korea, whatever it was, where they discovered COVID-19, or whatever, they released it allegedly, as a man made virus, and how you made something that you can't fix?
- 7:55[SPEAKER_05]: What are you doing, making something some diabolical that has so much damage, but we don't have a cure for it at all.
- 8:02[SPEAKER_05]: They want you to take some other stuff that help break down your system so that way you could be more impelled on the next geographical simulation of viruses to come out to take you out.
- 8:15[SPEAKER_05]: I mean, to me, this is a ledge all alleged, but why are we in these labs creating these type of things instead of trying to find the cure for all the diseases like the big sea?
- 8:26[SPEAKER_05]: Cancer is one of the most leading, one of the leading diseases out here, taking people out left and right, cutting lives in half and yet we can't come to a conclusion of what to cure it, but we can create more diabolical diseases
- 8:47[SPEAKER_05]: It's just the things that we think about and what we wake up to do with ourselves.
- 8:51[SPEAKER_05]: This is something that I want to share with people all the time about using your time wisely.
- 8:59[SPEAKER_05]: You know, in my profession, I see people.
- 9:05[SPEAKER_05]: And I see people hurt.
- 9:07[SPEAKER_05]: I see them struggling.
- 9:08[SPEAKER_05]: I see them requesting for medical attention.
- 9:11[SPEAKER_05]: I see them requesting for mental attention.
- 9:14[SPEAKER_05]: And I'm glad my job is not to dissect.
- 9:18[SPEAKER_05]: dissect who really needs mental who needs regular health care.
- 9:25[SPEAKER_05]: I'm glad it's not because so many people out here are playing reindeer games.
- 9:34[SPEAKER_05]: People are tired of how they live in.
- 9:37[SPEAKER_05]: They're ready to give up.
- 9:38[SPEAKER_05]: They don't have nothing to lose.
- 9:41[SPEAKER_05]: And we have come to this fork in the road where we're tired of hearing bad news.
- 9:47[SPEAKER_05]: We're tired of hearing news that doesn't encourage you to move forward.
- 9:52[SPEAKER_05]: And that's all that's on the radio, on the TVs, on all the social media platforms, is bad news.
- 10:03[SPEAKER_05]: Now the slang of the new Hawaiians are out here wanting to pop and shoot and rob and steal and murder and do crimes and then not realizing that they're not making more programs for the youth.
- 10:23[SPEAKER_05]: They're making more prison cells for the youth.
- 10:27[SPEAKER_05]: They are given away
- 10:31[SPEAKER_05]: three to four life sentences to youth.
- 10:36[SPEAKER_05]: So
- 10:37[SPEAKER_05]: They make it hard, and I say they make it hard.
- 10:40[SPEAKER_05]: They give you these options that you have to be strong enough to walk by every day.
- 10:46[SPEAKER_05]: The drug dealers that you see in your neighborhood, the gang banging that you see in your neighborhood, is all near you getting on, transportation, the library going to a boys and girls club.
- 10:58[SPEAKER_05]: These things are all around you to distract you, the liquor store,
- 11:03[SPEAKER_05]: the girls who want money.
- 11:05[SPEAKER_05]: They all there to distract the young men from staying on his team of being prosperous and productive so he can become a productive and prosperous person to his family and to give back to his community that might need him as a role model.
- 11:23[SPEAKER_05]: For those of you that cut me off and for those of you don't want to listen to what I say, this is exactly why we're in the situation we're in.
- 11:32[SPEAKER_05]: Because you will push the why in videos, you will push the videos of the girls tweaking shaking a bit.
- 11:38[SPEAKER_05]: you will push those TikTok videos of females explicitly wearing clothes that they shouldn't be broadcasting all their goods and then they're wondering why they can't find a husband.
- 11:52[SPEAKER_05]: Well it's because the narrative of a good man is not sitting on TikTok watching you shake your butt on a video.
- 12:07[SPEAKER_05]: I have nothing against TikTok.
- 12:09[SPEAKER_05]: I have nothing against YouTube.
- 12:10[SPEAKER_05]: But none of the social media platforms.
- 12:12[SPEAKER_05]: I just think a lot of people use their time to show flesh more than anything.
- 12:20[SPEAKER_05]: Because we all know, flesh has been selling 60s to 60s, 50s, 40s, and still going to sell today.
- 12:28[SPEAKER_05]: Excuse my fridge, but as sell, because you have so many men that don't have the intellectual dialect
- 12:37[SPEAKER_05]: to have a conversation to stimulate a female of mine.
- 12:41[SPEAKER_05]: I have had several conversations with females of all ages, and I have had, I'm gonna have a show on this as well, that the average female that I talk to, and I'm talking about all averages, all ages, I talk to them, all nationalities, I talk to them, and where I'm at,
- 13:07[SPEAKER_05]: for man to do.
- 13:09[SPEAKER_05]: And it's sad.
- 13:10[SPEAKER_05]: And I don't know whether this comes from the bar being set so low or the home training was an implemented a long time ago.
- 13:25[SPEAKER_05]: I watch a few people and I don't want to get off the subject, but I have to talk about this how women set the
- 13:35[SPEAKER_05]: I've talked to 50-year-old, 40-year-old, 30-year-old, late 20s, early 20s.
- 13:45[SPEAKER_05]: You know what they all got in common?
- 13:48[SPEAKER_05]: It's so sad.
- 13:50[SPEAKER_05]: They want a man to take them out to eat.
- 13:57[SPEAKER_05]: I was bad for it.
- 14:01[SPEAKER_05]: I was in shock.
- 14:06[SPEAKER_05]: You want somebody to take you out to eat or they want to be flying out somewhere.
- 14:17[SPEAKER_05]: Don't you know what comes with that?
- 14:20[SPEAKER_05]: Don't you know what the man is expecting?
- 14:24[SPEAKER_05]: If all you showed them is pictures of your flesh?
- 14:28[SPEAKER_05]: What are you promoting?
- 14:30[SPEAKER_05]: What are you telling your daughter or your son?
- 14:33[SPEAKER_05]: Your mother, your father when they see these pictures of you?
- 14:39[SPEAKER_05]: You tell them that you're very, you have a high IQ.
- 14:45[SPEAKER_05]: You're not telling them that.
- 14:49[SPEAKER_05]: And what you would do for a dollar, is that considered tricking?
- 14:55[SPEAKER_05]: Is that considered homing?
- 14:57[SPEAKER_05]: She's my French, but we're getting to that on another topic.
- 15:01[SPEAKER_05]: I just wanted to give you some different looks on the situation.
- 15:08[SPEAKER_05]: It's going to be our Thursday call relationship one on one and I'm going to talk to a few different people and they're going to give me the analogy of what they feel and how they feel.
- 15:17[SPEAKER_05]: But getting back to the topic, Ebola's back and we're going to talk about it for those that want to reach out to us, we're going to all social media platforms.
- 15:28[SPEAKER_05]: Keep your head up guys, it will get better.
- 15:32[SPEAKER_05]: We just got to weather the storm, keep your head up.
- 15:37[SPEAKER_11]: Listen up, developing story late today.
- 15:42[SPEAKER_11]: The CDC confirmed that a man in Texas has just been diagnosed with Ebola.
- 15:48[SPEAKER_11]: It is the first time the disease has that has claimed thousands of lives in West Africa has been diagnosed in the United States.
- 15:57[SPEAKER_05]: Dr. Now, this is 11 years ago.
- 15:59[SPEAKER_05]: This is when the first time Ebola hit 11 years ago.
- 16:05[SPEAKER_02]: John Lepouk is here with us to tell us more, John.
- 16:08[SPEAKER_02]: Scott, the unidentified man, has been kept in isolation at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas since Sunday.
- 16:14[SPEAKER_02]: The CDC said the patient who was not a health care worker flew out of Liberia on the 19th and arrived in Texas on Saturday to visit family on the 20th, on the 24th symptoms developed.
- 16:26[SPEAKER_02]: Two days later, he sought medical care and was sent home.
- 16:29[SPEAKER_02]: On Sunday, he went to the hospital and was placed in isolation.
- 16:32[SPEAKER_02]: Now Scott, we just got off of a live press conference with Dr. Frieden at the head of the CDC and he made a couple of points.
- 16:37[SPEAKER_02]: Number one, people who are on the same plane as this gentleman when he flew back from Liberia, obviously concerned.
- 16:43[SPEAKER_02]: But he made the point, it is not contagious, the bowl is not contagious until the person has symptoms.
- 16:48[SPEAKER_05]: So he felt very strongly that people on the plane were not in danger.
- 17:04[SPEAKER_05]: So let me ask you a question.
- 17:07[SPEAKER_05]: Is he indicating that you can have Ebola, festering in your body?
- 17:13[SPEAKER_05]: What until you have symptoms?
- 17:17[SPEAKER_05]: It's not contagious, but that's what he's saying.
- 17:21[SPEAKER_02]: two, you wonder about from the 24th to the 28th.
- 17:24[SPEAKER_02]: He was sent home before he came back and was put in isolation.
- 17:27[SPEAKER_02]: He did come in contact with a handful of people.
- 17:30[SPEAKER_02]: And again, it's reassuring to know that it's directly spread only by contact with direct contract with fluids.
- 17:36[SPEAKER_02]: So specifically, it's not spread through the air.
- 17:39[SPEAKER_05]: And the CDC is going to be contacting the people.
- 17:50[SPEAKER_02]: who he came in contact with and following them making sure that their symptoms are followed.
- 17:54[SPEAKER_02]: And finally, people worry about, you know, could it spread here widely in the United States?
- 17:58[SPEAKER_02]: And the CDC again, Dr. Frieden, very firmly says, this is not Africa.
- 18:02[SPEAKER_02]: Here we have a very robust healthcare system.
- 18:05[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, it's expected and they prepare for people coming here, but they're going to isolate these people and they're going to very specifically follow their context and with that, it should be contained.
- 18:13[SPEAKER_05]: He's...
- 18:14[SPEAKER_05]: So now they're saying there's nothing we should worry about.
- 18:19[SPEAKER_05]: It happens, it's quite common.
- 18:23[SPEAKER_05]: We have a robust healthcare system where we can manage and shut it down if it does hit.
- 18:35[SPEAKER_05]: Now, that was 11 years ago.
- 18:41[SPEAKER_05]: Right?
- 18:41[SPEAKER_05]: 11 years ago.
- 18:43[SPEAKER_05]: Let's talk about it.
- 18:45[SPEAKER_05]: Now that it just hit again.
- 18:48[SPEAKER_05]: And let's see what's said about Ebola now.
- 18:54[SPEAKER_05]: Here we go.
- 18:57[SPEAKER_06]: An outbreak of Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo has been declared as a public health emergency of international concern by the World Health Organization.
- 19:07[SPEAKER_05]: International concern by the World Health Organization.
- 19:11[SPEAKER_05]: 11 years has passed and now it says concerns.
- 19:17[SPEAKER_06]: At least 80 people have thought to have died in the east of the country, many of them in itawry province across the three areas that you can see.
- 19:25[SPEAKER_05]: 80 people have died already.
- 19:30[SPEAKER_06]: A first case has also now been confirmed in the city of Goma, close to the border with Rwanda.
- 19:35[SPEAKER_06]: Neighboring Uganda has also seen one case yesterday a man died of the virus in Campala.
- 19:43[SPEAKER_06]: We'll be looking at why the outbreak has become a global concern but first Joe Inwood reports.
- 19:50[SPEAKER_09]: In Bunea, they are all too familiar with what this means.
- 19:54[SPEAKER_09]: The reemergence of Ebola, the deadly virus that has struck the eastern DRC before, it's said to be spreading, and has already killed more than 80 people.
- 20:05[SPEAKER_09]: local hospitals have been doing what they can, but they are not equipped to deal with a major outbreak.
- 20:11[SPEAKER_09]: The news that a case has been reporting goma, the biggest city in the region, is of particular concern containing the virus before its spreads is vital.
- 20:22[SPEAKER_10]: I'm afraid, like any human being, because we have children at school and they still come into contact with a lot of people.
- 20:29[SPEAKER_10]: We don't really know who they might be around or play with.
- 20:36[SPEAKER_09]: This was the same region that was hit by the DRC's deadliest ever Ebola outbreak between 2018 and 2020.
- 20:43[SPEAKER_09]: That killed around 2,500 people.
- 20:48[SPEAKER_09]: Specialist treatment centers were set up, with patients kept behind plastic sheets.
- 20:53[SPEAKER_09]: Ebola spreads through direct contact with foggy fluids and through broken skin, because is severe bleeding and organ failure and often an
- 21:03[SPEAKER_09]: and one of the poorest countries on earth, where many do not have access to good health care, bringing this latest outbreak under control comes with many challenges.
- 21:14[SPEAKER_08]: People in the community said it was witchcraft.
- 21:17[SPEAKER_05]: Now, this is Samuel Rogers, Kimber.
- 21:21[SPEAKER_08]: We realised that the first person fell ill in late April and died.
- 21:25[SPEAKER_08]: The body was repatriated to a nearby town.
- 21:28[SPEAKER_08]: It was the return of this body to a mining area with a large population that caused the Ebola outbreak to escalate.
- 21:35[SPEAKER_09]: The strain of Ebola behind this new outbreak does not have a vaccine.
- 21:39[SPEAKER_09]: The World Health Organization says the DRC is facing a health emergency of international concern.
- 21:46[SPEAKER_09]: Joined would be seen use.
- 21:49[SPEAKER_06]: So, how big a threat is Ebola and should we be worried here?
- 21:53[SPEAKER_06]: Here's a health correspondent James Gallagher James.
- 21:55[SPEAKER_07]: Well, Rita, Ebola is a rare but deadly virus.
- 21:59[SPEAKER_07]: And what we're dealing with here is a species of Ebola that's not been seen for over a decade.
- 22:04[SPEAKER_07]: It's called Fundibujo and it's only caused two outbreaks before.
- 22:08[SPEAKER_07]: One in 2007 in Uganda and one in 2012 in DRC, it killed around a third of those infected.
- 22:16[SPEAKER_07]: Symptoms start like flu with a fever and tiredness, progressing to vomiting, diarrhea and organ failure.
- 22:23[SPEAKER_07]: Some patients develop internal and external bleeding and this old rare species is a challenge.
- 22:30[SPEAKER_07]: Test on patients were coming back negative because they were looking for more common types of Ebola and there's no vaccine that's being developed and that means there are fewer tools to stop this outbreak and there are no drugs that target the virus making it harder to treat.
- 22:46[SPEAKER_05]: No vaccine, no drugs at all, is running wild, guys.
- 22:52[SPEAKER_05]: You both are going to run wild.
- 22:55[SPEAKER_07]: And there are yet more complications.
- 22:57[SPEAKER_07]: The first known case, a nurse, developed symptoms on the 24th of April.
- 23:02[SPEAKER_07]: So there's been weeks of the virus spreading and the true size of the outbreak is unknown.
- 23:07[SPEAKER_07]: It's also happening in a conflict zone with a quarter of a million people displaced from their homes.
- 23:17[SPEAKER_04]: this is an emergent strain that hasn't been seen for some time and there's no vaccine.
- 23:21[SPEAKER_04]: So huge effort to get some vaccines tested and out there is the priority.
- 23:27[SPEAKER_04]: The second is where this is happening.
- 23:29[SPEAKER_04]: These are really hard to reach areas, mining towns, on-boarders, really vulnerable communities.
- 23:36[SPEAKER_05]: Experts, we up there trying to control the oil and got all our troops over there.
- 23:48[SPEAKER_05]: The real war and what you fight is what you can't see.
- 23:54[SPEAKER_07]: I'll haunted by this.
- 23:56[SPEAKER_07]: The outbreak of Ebola that started in 2014 in West Africa and affected 28,600 people.
- 24:03[SPEAKER_07]: The risk, Ebola poses to the whole world remains tiny, even back then there were only three cases in the UK and all were healthcare workers who had volunteered to help.
- 24:14[SPEAKER_07]: Diocongo has dealt with more than a dozen outbreaks of Ebola in the past, so it has the experience.
- 24:20[SPEAKER_07]: But whether this outbreak is rapidly contained or spirals will be determined by the response in the coming days.
- 24:27[SPEAKER_05]: And now, great article number one, two good stuff, very, very good stuff.
- 24:43[SPEAKER_05]: Huh?
- 24:44[SPEAKER_05]: How are we going to handle it?
- 24:46[SPEAKER_05]: Are we going to still treat it like COVID?
- 24:49[SPEAKER_05]: And the hand of virus, huh?
- 24:53[SPEAKER_05]: Let's see what's going on one more.
- 24:55[SPEAKER_05]: And then we out of here.
- 24:57[SPEAKER_00]: Tonight, outbreaks of the deadly Ebola virus and two African countries have prompted the World Health Organization to declare a global health emergency.
- 25:07[SPEAKER_00]: CBS is MTS TIA of our London Bureau
- 25:13[SPEAKER_03]: After a gigid evening, there's a major push to contain this fast-moving and deadly outbreak of the Ebola virus.
- 25:19[SPEAKER_03]: The Democratic Republic of Congo's government has said it's activated a public health emergency operation center, strengthened epidemiological and laboratory surveillance, and ordered the rapid deployment of response teams in an attempt to contain the outbreak.
- 25:36[SPEAKER_03]: This remote quarter of Eastern Congo is on edge in a nearby gold mining area.
