JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW
 
Hour One
Friday 7 August 2020  / Hour 1, Block A:  Charlie Gasparino, Fox, in re:  Economics, the market, and politics.
Friday 7 August 2020 / Hour 1, Block B: Jeff Bliss, Pacific Watch; in re: The meth lab motel, was housing homeless, many people subject to the virus. They were housed in hotels with room service, courtesy of the taxpayer; fund a meth lab in one room. High-tech firms realize they no longer need expensive real estate to house offices when many employees can be at least as productive from home.  Eric Garcetti becomes a little dictator: “If you disobey our regulations, we’ll turn off your electricity and water.” Populace not amused.  Elon Musk is tunneling. 
Friday 7 August 2020  / Hour 1, Block C: Andrew C McCarthy, Ball of Collusion, and Thaddeus McCotter, American Greatness, in re:  Defensive briefing vs security briefing.  Defensive: govt realizes that someone may be subject to infiltration by a foreign intell group, then a nonincumbent candidate/nominee is briefed on the matter.  Mr Trump was to have been given this anent Gen Flynn. Instead, was given an investigative briefing (on Aug 17, 2016) by the FBI, which was improper and may turn out to have been illegal–because Trump was seen as the [compromised] person.  The cast of FBI characters was small in the conspiracy—repeatedly the same players, same tactics. FBI didn't tell Trump he was under investigation; rather, continued surveillance of him. 
Friday 7 August 2020  / Hour 1, Block D:  Andrew C McCarthy, Ball of Collusion, and Thaddeus McCotter, American Greatness, in re:  House Judiciary Committee demands that Don McGahn, former presidential counsel, testify under oath.
