"I'm Kevin Correa and this is your E sports minute. A new deal dominated the headlines for E sports this week as tournament organizers ESL and face it were both acquired and merged by Saudi owned investment fund known as savvy gaming group for around one and a half $1 billion. The deal is already under massive scrutiny not unlike Riot Games when it partnered with the future city of neom also in Saudi Arabia. Many personalities and casters took to Twitter voicing their displeasure since the Saudi government has a very poor history of human rights violations from immigrants to women and members of the LGBT plus community. Once csgo commentator in Vince hill was slated to be on the call for ESL challengers next month, but since this deal broke through, he has announced he would no longer be working with ESL, dream hack or face it after this deal. Still, it's a large injection of money from a not so friendly source in the Saudi government. YouTube gaming is taking a hit in terms of its executive leadership as three of them are reportedly leaving within the next few weeks. Ryan white known as quiz announced his departure from YouTube gaming earlier today as February will be his last month with the company as he moves on to join an NFT and gaming company in polygon studios. Jamie burns senior director of partnerships and Heather Rivera VP and head of product partnerships will both be leaving as well as they're one of the longer tenured executives with the company boasting almost 30 years combined at YouTube. The company did release a statement that made it known that YouTube was grateful for all the work these three executives had done, and now they'll look to their deep bench of talented leaders to take the business even further forward. Lastly, professional dota two squad team undying has been acquired by a newcomer to the scene as TSM takes their first steps into this moba cornerstone. Undying was formed last year during the dota pro circuit where they finish as one of the top 20 teams out of 38 and just barely missed out on advancing in the international tens group stage, recording three wins three ties and two losses. The team noted it was a dream come true, and now they'll be competing under the banner of TSM for the first time in dota two's competitive history. They'll have a chance to prove the benefit of their signing as the North American regional finals or incoming next month with $100,000 and some DPC points on the line..

You're still fired this whole like you're going to sit down and we're gonna make you learn to me not compassionate human is bullshit. It doesn't it's true people don't wanna learn if they don't wanna learn you can't force people to learn how many times and that's even been proven in like versity training for some people is a pay back where i was going. That's exactly what was going. No no no no. You're absolutely right. You've told me so many times where you've worked in in your industry where you have like inclusion classes and things like that and you have shared with me some some of the things people have said before going into the glass. Police don't wanna learn. They just retreat temporarily. That's it say that again. Repeat that again. He's don't wanna learn. They just retreat temporarily. It remember that and while the retreating they're going to be like oh what about my freedom of speech. Oh what about my you know. Freedom of expression You know. I'm feeling gas because i can't you know because they're making me feel like what i think. My opinion is wrong and is bad and stuff like that inuit know what. Shut the fuck up and stop being a bully and stop going into spaces being a bully. Yeah anyways yeah absolutely Yeah so that's that the mischief. It's just for me. What's what's always surprising to me. It always goes back when you have these review when people reveal themselves whether it's a catholic church whether it's a corporation it's the tolerance level like you know it has been proven. There's also a video of this person doing nonsense being a bully being hateful. Racist sexes being as assaulting women or salting people of color like denying the traumatic experience or suspending them. With pay. or telling them you. You still have a job. But just you're not but we're just going to shut you up ryan white supremacy is now. It's just it's the it's the level of tolerance for me. That's like where's that's your line. Serious no remove. The remove their privi- privilege of accessing more people making psychological damage physical damage or or continuing their bullying in any shape or shaper. Business model is dependent on hierarchy. And that's why they're like. Oh we can't disrupt the hierarchy even if even if we got this person who's has got like let's say a Jillian years experience as being a priest or whatever but he's been a priest for really long time. No i know it doesn't matter they protect them. That's what it is they. They've been doing this for so long and he's willing to like spread the message but sometimes he says fuck. Remain this person. You can give a chance of younger generation ensure that younger person doesn't happen experience but at least up now. Catholic church is rotten the catholic church a cancer and you can't just like replace cancer with another cancer. You gotta cut it out and get rid of it and it's done. Yeah real real moving on the next news because originally read the activision blizzard lawsuit. Okay so that. Took me a bit. Like i had to really understand. What is what is going on with this one before you get started at that. I saw a mean that said lake Sometimes i don't know what to support. But if i see it makes dude grows angry. I'm there. That's i'm sure that this turned into like they're coming for our games I didn't even yeah. Yeah i'm thinking. I'm just close something by accident knowing one you realize you close something by accident and you're no i close to you. I am so sorry. Okay so are you though so Where to even start with this this mess okay. So there's pressure on activision blizzard. A it started. I think a week or so go and It started with eight hundred employees who Basically signed a petition. Slant up saying that. They have their insulted by the culture of the of the company. Because it's not what they're about who who's this is so it started off with eight hundred employees signing the petition. Right dying like hey guys. The company i work for doesn't represent who we are. The message you're sending out is different from what's happening in the studio insulted by your culture were insulted by the fact that you do not protect people who have been harassed in any shape or form and we disagree with this kind of culture and you need to frigging change. Do something about it type of thing right. Okay so start off with eight hundred then. It went up to a thousand now. It's at like two thousand. Six hundred employees nice who have signed the petition. Nice now activision. Blizzard is a big company. Had no idea huge. They have nine thousand five hundred employees. Well yeah and so now. You're at like maybe the numbers have gone up to even three thousand. That's over a quarter of their employees. A quarter of your employees are like this is not cool right and so.

"It appears to be milder than the original standard Covid 19 a lot of times the symptoms are typically like a cold, runny nose, sore throat headache, so it's a bit milder. To be sure, I think Dr Harvey Risch made a real good comment about this Delta there and he said, We need to stay focused. On hospitalizations and fatalities. And in that regard, the delta variant does not present dramatic need for us to be immersed in fear. I think that we can recognize that this is milder. In that way, more people will get it and we will probably move towards herd immunity. In regards to treatment. I'm a little disappointed that there's been no call for. Let's do early outpatient treatment. Let's make it available based on patient position conversations. The fact of the matter is, If you look at most sources, they won't make any reference to treatment other than vaccines, And on that count, it looks fine. The vaccines that have been used appear to be effective against the Delta grant as well. The World Health Organization has said that as many other scientists, epidemiologist and physician So again, he's pointing out. Yes, this is much more transmissible. That's the That's the message that you keep hearing from the Biden administration and they want you to be scared. Oh, my God, It's super contagious. Oh, my God. But chances are when you get it, You're going to have a runny nose and maybe a sore throat and maybe a headache, And it's much milder. And so there is no reason for there to be any kind of new frenzy. There's certainly shouldn't be any new attempts by government to engage in any new locked. Sounds or restrictions over something that is as mild as a cold. They're trying to control you. And again, they have lied throughout the process from 15 days to flatten the curve Don't overrun the hospitals will open on such and such a day will be fully opened in this day and ever moving. I mean, we're talking about lies at all levels, the federal level. Certainly the state level. Obviously the governor here Lies with the local government officials. And so no, I don't trust any of you people. You've seen that they told me but, well, just get the vaccine so we can all go back to normal again. Look at what happened with North Carolina State in the N C. Double a tournament. Those four kids have been vaccinated. They apparently got it. Probably a false positive and they lost their way to the tournament. What reward did they get for doing things? The right way. Jon Rahm, You know, a couple weeks ago lost $1.7 million, you know, in the process because he had to withdraw from the tournament and he was fine. There is there is no reward. Chris Paul, the basketball player had been really I'm given some sports analogies but had to sit out he'd been vaccinated, so there is no reward. There's no there's nothing. There's been zero reward for doing this, and we were promised there would be rewards. It's still doom and gloom. A huge portion of the population has taken an experimental drug that they don't know the result on good for those people. I'm not doing it. I'm not doing it. We have some breaking news from the Supreme Court to get into next stay tuned. This year's Indiana journalist of the Year comes to us from W I. B. C.

Even though they knew at the time that these kids they went to school with her. Not at risk. So it's you know it's clear. They did what they could to educate their community. But not everybody wants to listen What else susan. And the junior league. Oh yes i think. Probably one of the surprising stories in this book is about the environment of the junior league. Almost surprised when i read it. I was like. I didn't know they were involved. I was actually number junior league chicago for a few years twenty years ago where people are not familiar with a junior league. Pardon me for people who are not familiar with the league was a group of debutante and new york started the junior league one. One of them was ever heron daughter. There debutantes and they were looking for volunteer projects to do and they found a project. In new york. There was actually based on jane. Addams house model working with immigrants Junior league is committed to projects that improve the lives of children and women of all ages all races and in one thousand nine hundred eighty six susan. Gaitan was one of the first junior league president to take on a project That was age related and it was a housing project. Five house at one time not forget the exact number of junior leagues through over one hundred and forty junior leagues one hundred and fifty thousand women in four countries are members and they do volunteer work. sort of nothing scream straight white woman like junior league. You know and the stereotype. Is she know the white gloves on the pearls and the whole thing and they are far from that stereotype anymore. They are diverse. they are career women and about the time.

"And was she encouraging people to get rid of their medication you know. She encouraging people to do things that were harmful to themselves fallowing her teachings. I'd like i say it's just very controversial as you introduced her. You know and i think that she always will be at and there. Are you know but if it works for you we have to put yourself in the shoes of people who are hiv positive who are living with aids in the late eighties A lot of physicians were didn't were clueless what to deal with us and we're prescribing. Azt which in hindsight was killing them. Faster and so you know in terms of louise hay like she put this idea out there. That looking for solutions was a very healthy way to dealing with a crisis. Why think anytime that you can give someone the tools to be proactive about their own health. That's a good thing. And i think i was. I was looking at the The death of a perron. Which we're working on podcastone that i guess there's there's documentation that she wasn't even notified the the argentinian dictators wife who they made a musical about her life vena famously. They did not notify her that she had a possibly cervical or uterine cancer. They never told her she added it. Just get that was one. The first argentine to go on chemotherapy and to deal with the pain of her illness that she did not know what was causing because they try to silence her politically by giving her lobotomy. And that's what ultimately did her and while you know i. I mentioned that irrational fear and there was a lot to fear at the beginning was not dead irrational. We didn't know at first. Who is at risk. How you're gonna get it how you could avoid it made. There was so much not known well. It was a situation like you know you had children in elementary schools and high schools to each other going. Don't use the bathroom and the toilet seats have aids on ridiculous things like that. People are afraid to sit on a toilet seat. They're still ridiculous percentage of people who think that who still think that hiv is. There's a difference between infectious and contagious. You know if if i sneeze on you have a cold. You're probably going to get a cold. If i sneeze on you and i've hiv you're not gonna get hiv and people don't understand that you know a lot of that irrational fear despite what we know now and what we have learned over the last thirty years is still there and some people are going to cling to that because that's it's important to them to cling to that but you know women in the book like Ryan white smother jamie and louise hay. Who had three sons with hiv all of those boys acquired it through transfusions because they were him affiliates and ryan white's grave was vandalized four times..

"Ryan White in a certain sense, let a great life and a very important life because he really did represent that early stages of AIDS and the horror. You know the horror show that it is I think that is one of the greatest misnomers about Trump is what a great dude he actually is and how much of his own money and time over the years that he's given. Two people that A new hour before or a day before. He wouldn't have known from out. Yeah, and I just I think that's one of the great Tragedy is a strong word, but it's one of the great I guess we'll use the tragedies of the way Trump has been completely distorted. Well, I don't know. I mean, it's an injustice, right? It's just one of these huge injustice is that it's just so unfair how he's been covered, how he's been treated. And it's Zee awful, like I was reminded when hey, gave his farewell address yesterday. Also, I gosh, I wish we would have heard more about what he actually actually accomplish because the list is long and you know, I think it's some point when there's distance between all the stuff that happened at the capital, and now I hope that people will Remember, this is a like before Cove it This was a hugely prosperous time and that Trump always put America first, which should be any president's priority. I don't think it's going to be by this priority binds a globalist and he's going to be caring about what allies think of us at any given time, and Trump was so good at. Remember how We talked to Richard Grenell on Richard Grenell had similar things to say about him. When Richard Grenell was like I watched Trump charm Angela Merkel, even as he's telling her, you gotta pony up and meet your 2% requirement for NATO. He somehow managed to charm her because he does have that warmth. And sweetness about him that people don't ever get to see. He is probably the most philanthropic person toe ever Hold the White House in the 230. Plus years we've been a country And it's just gross that these many of these people who have infected the White House, certainly over the past 100 years. Have been leeches. They've been career political people. They have been completely in it for themselves. And yet they are going to be remembered much more family than it's certainly in in history that over the next several years than Trump will be that which leads me to my next clip. You know, I've become buddies with Ben Stein. Yes, of course Famous for Fares Bueller's Day off. He was also in planes, trains and automobiles. What's the game show that he did win Ben Stein's money? Yes, which gave Jimmy Kimmel his start of radius. I completely forgot about Comedy. Central's a great job. I think some of her up on YouTube. He was, of course, also very famous author political commentator which is really gonna start work for Richard Nixon. And Ben and I, because actually were incredibly intelligent and charismatic, basically the same person we become buddies and he invites me on the regular now on his podcast on YouTube called the world, according to Ben Stein, and they have a group of Panelists and Ben is there and we just talked for an hour about various issues, and I was asked to be on Last night, ending in large part because I'm so closely connected with Trump in in Indiana. A and I was gonna try to use the end of speed round like some of how I felt about Trump, But they asked me about it last night. You two Friedman is the host of the panel is a great guy. And so it's just I thought this is the perfect way to sum up. What Trump has meant to me what he meant to so many people and the great great Just disservice of how history used to get it right over time, right history, Always kind of the president said in the moment. I'm not sure it's gonna happen anymore. Take a listen. You met him and you've been telling everybody that for 4.5 years, But what about you? What are you grateful for? I post this today. I post a picture of me interviewing Trump. And you know, I will say that's one of the five most significant days of my life. One because you met the guy who was the president. You got kids to interview the guy who was the president. But I think I've told you before. It's what we talked about afterwards. It's that he had other things to do. He had just met me, and we sat there and talked her up 15 minutes. No microphones on no cameras on. We just sat there and talked, and I told him when we got done, I said If people saw this side of you, and it's the side that world leaders see, it's decided that his Cabinet sees I said they would have a totally different opinion of you and the one thing that he told me and it's the reason I have the job I have today and I stayed in radio and I saw through Was, he said, Follow your dreams. If you're if you're up in the air, you're young. Go for it because you will regret not doing it And I'll tell you what that dude has inspired so many people, and he has done so much good in his life is created so many job he didn't need this gig man, and he may have destroyed his life, and he destroyed the life of his family and the cost him up in the causing hundreds of millions of billions of dollars. Those of the Patriots that the founders envisioned when they put this country together, And it's sad because history used to correct these sort of things..

"No, I did not know that. Oh, yeah. What is it? I learned this last night. Is this a joke? I feel like you're setting it up like a joke. I am going to scour our state from top to bottom to find this plant. Why? Also magic money tree. Oh, the magic money tree. I don't think that's limited to just Indiana. I believe it's indigenous and in did how do you indigenous to the entire country? On the reason I mentioned this magic money tree? Is and I don't know it exists. But like the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, it must exist because I was watching the governor State of the state last night. And he's throwing out all these big government programs, trails and broadband and bullcrap upon book crap on no mention. About how he's paying for it. Well, that seems like a omission. That is relatively important. What do you mean omission? Maybe it's not a money tree. Maybe the money is in the cloud because you know, there's a lot of stapled up there from the climate change people now surely Eric Holcomb, the governor of the state of Indiana. Would never purposely not tell people how he's paying for something. He must be like the modern day, Johnny Appleseed dropping plants in the ground and dollar bills. Come shooting out. Are you sure you just didn't miss it? Oh, yeah, that's right, enacted to the largest tax increases in state history on Hoosiers, and just for some reason, doesn't want to mention what a jerk I was so mad last night I was texting you during I know. And you were like, I gotta rant and I was like, Can you just stay calm? What a dis. Ingenuous piece of crap, and I said that very calmly. You did say that calmly to talk about all of this. By the way, the Republican Party is the party of Big government right in Indiana. I mean, the whole speech was about growth. Of government, huge, gigantic government programs. And what a coward to not once have the guts or the decency to admit to people How your funding it. All these road programs. Largest tax increase in state history tax on gas broadband trails. War on truckers, Billion dollar tax increase What I mean, if these programs are so great as our friend Dan Dockage would say, sack up and admit how you're paying for it. Is that too much to ask? It doesn't seem like a lot to ask. You have a joke? I do. Oh, did you know that I was voted the most secretive person out of my entire high school class. I didn't know that. I can't tell you what it meant to me. Get it because of the secrecy, not I get it. I get it. I get it. No, no, I'm with 100%. That was a good. So this is our last poll Last us. Okay? Yeah. You're the hamburglar of jokes. I totally am. So this is our last speed around together with Trump as president. He's technically still the president as you are hearing, Rob, Trust the plan. There's gonna be JFK is alive and he is coming. Toc of us or Something. Um, well, the emergency broadcasting interest in case that doesn't happen Mark Gonna spend kind of the rest of our speed round together today, paying a bit of a tribute to President Trump Nice. And one of the things that I wanted to, uh, articulate is what a great guy trump Woz. I mean, I got to see something that very few people. Never got to see a side of him. And if more people had seen that or known that I truly believe even being completely ripped apart by the media, the way was that he would have been re elected. And when I interviewed Trump Man, it's almost five years ago Now, which is crazy, right? Yeah, that's not crazy. I asked him about one of the most influential and historic figures in Indiana history. Ryan White, and a lot of people don't know that Trump played a big role in the latter days of Ryan White because of Trump's connection with Michael Jackson the money that he gave he paid of his own money to fly Michael Jackson to see Ryan White. And so I wanted to play a little bit. I asked Trump about Ryan White thinking. Then the students met so many famous people. This was 30 years ago. There's no way he's even going to remember this, dude. But he did take a listen. So many people don't know the philanthropic nature of what you did for Ryan widen and his family and that's such a big story here. If you wouldn't mind just just touch me. What touched your heart about Ryan White Ryan White really was an important story because he represented so many people that was very early in the AIDS crisis. And Michael Jackson lived in Trump Tower, and I knew him very well. And he actually had a very big heart. I mean, he was a very different kind of a guy, but he had a very big heart and I was doing very well. And you know, I've been doing things for a long time also, and Michael asked me what I go and see Ryan what I said Who's Ryan White? Because Michael really, really felt very strongly about it, And he explained it, And I said, Well, that sounds good. I had no idea of the importance of Ryan White's life was a very important life because it was at the beginning of the age crisis and It was really almost the first one that I remember where was such a big, big story. And Michael Jackson and I flew to Indiana and we met with Ryan and with his mother was a wonderful woman. And it was a very sad thing to see. And that those in that time there was absolutely no cure. You couldn't you couldn't do anything. There was nothing and Ryan ultimately died pretty quickly. But he was a great young guy, and he had such courage and everything else and was good. And I didn't even realize but it was just brought up recently. And I, You know, I'm happy to have been a part of it and, you know, hopefully we made a lot of people aware of what is going on with the age crisis..

"A potential rival forward Kim Jong UN's and it's raising suspicions that Kim Jong Gu and may have once again mark one of his own relatives for death. The new documentary delves into this story and its aftermath. It's called Assassins and the Director Ryan White joins me now. Welcome. Thank you, Madeline. Take us back to that day it was in February. 2017. So what? About four years ago? What happened at the Kuala Lumpur Airport on that day? Yes. So 20 Hong and City I shot the two women that you referenced in the intro approach. Kim Jong Nam As he's checking in for a flight on you can see on CCTV. They wiped his eyes with something it turned out to be. Acts, which is the most lethal nerve agent, and within an hour he was dead and the women walk off camera and go back into quality in poor and were arrested a few days later, and when arrested, they said. Yes, we did that to that man. But we thought we were playing a prank on a reality show. And in fact, we didn't even know that that man died. So it's a totally inconceivable story. Sort of the most. Absurd defense we've ever heard for a political assassination. But that's kind of the beginning of my film is that sort of assertion that their defense is going to be that they were on a reality show when they pulled off this assassination? It is really incredible. It's really hard to believe that this is true. But I guess my first question is if this agent VX nerve agent is so lethal, how did they not die if it was on their hands? If the substance enters and orifice it can kill you. Within a matter of minutes, the women had the substance on their hands. And you know, as we sort of trace in the film their recruitment by what they claim they thought were Japanese YouTube producers that ended up being North Korean spies, and the women say that they, in fact have been on this reality show for months leading up to this assassination. And they have been conditioned when they were playing these previous pranks, which were played with Johnson baby oil to go to the bathroom and wash their hands afterwards. So in the murder trial of the women, a chemical weapon weapons expert testifies and he says that if you wash your hands within minutes after you're exposed to be X that you can survive, I think They were prepared that the women may or may not die on the women are probably very lucky to have survived it. Yeah, because just imagine, had they wiped their nose or their highs. They could have died. Exactly. And I mean, at the beginning, everyone, you know the first images that came out after this assassination or of Guan teeth, Wong, who was wearing a sweatshirt that said, L o l on. It s so she was sort of Portrayed as this fem fatal kind of black widow, female assassin. And then when you start to watch all of the CCTV and listen to their defense and start retracing their steps, then you start questioning whether there is the possibility that they are telling the truth. And they, in fact, did not know what they were about to do. Well, tell us a little bit more about each of these young women and let's begin with 20 Hong young woman you mentioned with the L O. L sweatshirt. Who was she? Yes. So the film begins with this moment when they assassinate Kim Jong Nam and are Egg central question that was guiding us this whole time was Who are these women? Like? Who are these women That led them to this moment where they both touched Kim Jong Nam's face, and by the way, both women were saying they did not know one another that they literally met at Kim Jong Nam's face that day. So our film traces their backstories to really find out who they are. So do want. E Flung is from Hanoi. She was actually quite educated. But she wasn't using her degree, and she had spent the last five or six years desperately seeking fame and Hanoi. So she was on Vietnamese Idol and she was doing in a lot of modeling. And she in fact, Was on viral prank shows and Hanoi She was working at a as a waitress at a bar and Hanoi when she was approached by a man asking her if she wanted to be a part of a prank show, and the man claimed to be Japanese. So this is a thing prank shows. It's a huge thing in this part in this part of the world, you know, I think it sounds like a strange defense to people from Western cultures, but Even in the airport where this assassination happened. I remember the first time we were there, and we were filming the irony that on the television screens around the airport, a prank show was playing. It's not an out of the ordinary, you know, source of entertainment in this part of the world. Okay, so that's one Thi Hong and then city Aisha. She's from Indonesia. That's right. So city officials from a village a few hours from Jakarta and had a much harder life than 20 Huang. I would say, you know she was on. Lee was in school until the sixth grade ended up. Working at a sweatshop in Jakarta. She was a single mother on DCI was constantly seeking a better life constantly seeking a better paycheck on DCI ended up Coming to Kuala Lum poor with the promise of a job as we often see when it comes to human trafficking and ended up in the world of the sex trade. And so when she was approach the idea that she could make $100 for playing a prank, and this was a woman who was making 5 to $10 a day was hugely alerting to her because she was sending That money back home to her family and to her son. Wow, that is tragic. So the entire prank show was a ruse to provide cover for this assassination. Well, that's the big question at the epicenter of our film, and I don't think I can Unequivocally say either way, you know, I have to admit. I was very skeptical from the beginning. This assassination happened in February of 2017..

"Today we. We have with US Dr Chandi John He is the Ryan White Professor of Pediatrics and the Director of the Division of Infectious Diseases in global health at Indiana University School of Medicine I should note that this episode was recorded before the pandemic started since then. Dr John's Infectious Disease Expertise helped lay the foundation for to covert related studies tactic, which is looking at how many. People in Indiana Wade. Actually be infected and discover which is looking at how immunity responses occur. After people are infected, we should also note that his research about sickle cell anemia, African children was recently published in the New England, Journal of Medicine and people might want to check that out as well Chandy. Welcome, thank you so you're the Ryan Way Professor Pediatrics. Who Is Ryan White? And what does he have to do? With Indiana Ryan White is in Indiana. Indiana heroes everyone in Indiana and the United States should know about him. Ryan White was really the first child in the United States, who was publicly known to have issued in make a secret and the reason he got into the news was because we lived. They didn't want him attending school with all the kids and he insisted on going to school. This is a very brave individual and kind of push this where a lot of. Of other people just kind of shrunk into themselves and bring it up because it's one of those things where it's like I remember I did live in Indiana at the time, but I remember it being in the news for people old enough. It was a huge huge deal I mean because up until that point. It felt like it was a pretty stigmatized disease were many people were blamed, but he seemed to be the face. If I'm remembering correctly. Correctly like the first quit I'm putting in quotes. Nobody else can see my equity. You're like innocent. Where we sort of public in this child at a big deal that everybody was so public about it. Yeah, it was a huge deal is very brave of him because he got a lot of discrimination and hate mail, and the rest of it, or you know hateful comments right to his face where he lived but he refused to sort. Back away from that and also I. Think very importantly. He also refused to be the quote unquote innocent face of it. He said that everybody who has HIV is say they should be respected. However, it was easier for the public to handle that than maybe to handle gay men who they thought of as other or or something he really did in the United States help to give face HIV that many people could relate to more And I'm the Ryan White Professor, of Pediatrics, and I always mentioned this because our whole division was supported. By an endowment for the Indiana University, Dance Marathon, and that endowment and the Indiana University dance, marathon itself were started by Ryan White's best friend from High Yeah To Stewart I believe her name was, and so she started at more than twenty five years ago and to start, it was started in honor of him, so he was supposed to start at you that fall and died before he could start the started, and she organized a dance marathons, and they've evolved this massive huge. Yeah, and if your local Indiana's a big deal with your kids and these guys are amazing, high school kids in college, kids and they raise funds for Hospital for children, but for the first many years they raised it just for our division, and so that was amazing. It's funny because I knew I knew there is money for Riley but I didn't know it was for that purpose and I. It's funny. One of those I knew Ryan White was, but when I moved here I was like. Why do they have the professorship year? Like didn't know He. INDIANA. No, it's it's amazing, and so now the funds from the Indiana. Brisy dance marathon go to the whole department of beating. US For the first twenty years it was to raise his endowment, and so when people ask me who this rich donor was, who gave the endowment that allowed us to create this amazing or build this amazing division It was It's the college kids, and and I should also very important dimension. The connection there is that writes. Doctor was Marty climate. Who is the? The founder of our division, so that was when they wanted a way to honor Ryan White and and support the things that were important to him. The sought out Dr Climate. He said supporting research in this areas is critical, and that's what they did. Well, that's great and not just completely veer directions, but you know the time what we wanted to talk about. About. Today is global health. So I like to always start by talking to you like. How did you decide? This is the area that what you wanted to be in in studying not just infectious diseases, but how they the impact, the world, not just even the United States. How'd you get here? Yeah, so there are many answers that question, but the beginning always starts with. With my parents so My parents are from India. They came here to do their residency I. always mention because this is a fact that. When they came here, they were paid to come here, so there was a doctor shortage. So when people are talking about all these terrible foreign medical grads and stuff boy. The US has relied on those foreign medical grads and. Show all the time. Yeah, it's it's a big deal and they've added a lot to the country. research wise clinical is an in every aspect of so. They came here for their residencies, and then they went back to India to work at a mission hospital and so we sort of went back and forth from the United States indie when I was a kid, but when they were there this mission hospital, its mission was to serve the poor, and so they would take us on rounds or to the hospital on a fairly regular basis because they really wanted us to be sure to see why. Why they were doing what they're doing. Their lives were very busy. They both doctors and so They were at the hospital a lot and you know kids could sort of feel like hey, why aren't you you know here with me? But we never felt that way because we saw what they were doing, and it was important, so that sense of those who have have a responsibility to serve those who have less because none of us earned what we have. It's all just you kind of like what we started with.

Dr John's Infectious Disease Expertise helped lay the foundation for to covert related studies tactic, which is looking at how many. People in Indiana Wade. Actually be infected and discover which is looking at how immunity responses occur. After people are infected, we should also note that his research about sickle cell anemia, African children was recently published in the New England, Journal of Medicine and people might want to check that out as well Chandy. Welcome, thank you so you're the Ryan Way Professor Pediatrics. Who Is Ryan White? And what does he have to do? With Indiana Ryan White is in Indiana. Indiana heroes everyone in Indiana and the United States should know about him. Ryan White was really the first child in the United States, who was publicly known to have issued in make a secret and the reason he got into the news was because we lived. They didn't want him attending school with all the kids and he insisted on going to school. This is a very brave individual and kind of push this where a lot of. Of other people just kind of shrunk into themselves and bring it up because it's one of those things where it's like I remember I did live in Indiana at the time, but I remember it being in the news for people old enough. It was a huge huge deal I mean because up until that point. It felt like it was a pretty stigmatized disease were many people were blamed, but he seemed to be the face. If I'm remembering correctly. Correctly like the first quit I'm putting in quotes. Nobody else can see my equity. You're like innocent. Where we sort of public in this child at a big deal that everybody was so public about it. Yeah, it was a huge deal is very brave of him because he got a lot of discrimination and hate mail, and the rest of it, or you know hateful comments right to his face where he lived but he refused to sort. Back away from that and also I. Think very importantly. He also refused to be the quote unquote innocent face of it. He said that everybody who has HIV is say they should be respected. However, it was easier for the public to handle that than maybe to handle gay men who they thought of as other or or something he really did in the United States help to give face HIV that many people could relate to more And I'm the Ryan White Professor, of Pediatrics, and I always mentioned this because our whole division was supported. By an endowment for the Indiana University, Dance Marathon, and that endowment and the Indiana University dance, marathon itself were started by Ryan White's best friend from High Yeah To Stewart I believe her name was, and so she started at more than twenty five years ago and to start, it was started in honor of him, so he was supposed to start at you that fall and died before he could start the started, and she organized a dance marathons, and they've evolved this massive huge. Yeah, and if your local Indiana's a big deal with your kids and these guys are amazing, high school kids in college, kids and they raise funds for Hospital for children, but for the first many years they raised it just for our division, and so that was amazing. It's funny because I knew I knew there is money for Riley but I didn't know it was for that purpose and I. It's funny. One of those I knew Ryan White was, but when I moved here I was like. Why do they have the professorship year? Like didn't know He. INDIANA. No, it's it's amazing, and so now the funds from the Indiana. Brisy dance marathon go to the whole department of beating. US For the first twenty years it was to raise his endowment, and so when people ask me who this rich donor was, who gave the endowment that allowed us to create this amazing or build this amazing division It was It's the college kids, and and I should also very important dimension. The connection there is that writes. Doctor was Marty climate. Who is the? The founder of our division, so that was when they wanted a way to honor Ryan White and and support the things that were important to him. The sought out Dr Climate. He said supporting research in this areas is critical, and that's what they did. Well, that's great and not just completely veer directions, but you know the time what we wanted to talk about. About. Today is global health. So I like to always start by talking to you like. How did you decide? This is the area that what you wanted to be in in studying not just infectious diseases, but how they the impact, the world, not just even the United States. How'd you get here? Yeah, so there are many answers that question, but the beginning always starts with. With my parents so My parents are from India. They came here to do their residency I. always mention because this is a fact that. When they came here, they were paid to come here, so there was a doctor shortage. So when people are talking about all these terrible foreign medical grads and stuff boy. The US has relied on those foreign medical grads and. Show all the time. Yeah, it's it's a big deal and they've added a lot to the country. research wise clinical is an in every aspect of so. They came here for their residencies, and then they went back to India to work at a mission hospital

Warning Sign
"Today. We're discussing warning signs starring Sam Waterston. Kathleen Quinlan my Italian cousin Koto. Jeffrey Demon directed by HAL bar. Would this is Arnie? From Quarantine and Stewart and this is the CO host feels rage beautiful rage Jacob. Yes folks I am in Quarantine. I've actually broken quarantine. I have not left my bedroom in eight days. I have broken quarantine to come to the recording studio so we could record about plague and I'm glad to hear that you're up. You sound pretty good. It sounds like things are going. Well Yeah this is not a joke or a bit people. Yeah Yeah you're awfully chipper about it but just to put it in perspective. You seem to be dealing with it well and we're glad about that. We usually record on Wednesdays. I came down with it on the Thursday after recording. I had like six days of hell and I'm back for this feeling my best. I haven't gotten the results of the coverted test back. I did get one of the coveted Cova tests. They did take a cotton swab and stick and so for up my nose. I think they swabbed my frontal lobe. I don't think I have cove it. I got a flu or something. I don't think I'm sick enough for coveted. But in an abundance of caution yes our local respiratory clinic has ordered me into isolation for two weeks but yes. I felt like if there's a movie that I should break quarantine to discuss. Its warning sign in our viral outbreak series. Yeah because they break a whole lot of rules in this film Yes. The nineteen eighties is a huge decade. For pandemic you know the AIDS crisis explodes. I wanted to cover one of those films. But they weren't made in the one thousand nine hundred. Eighty s yeah. They all came out in the nineties. Right they did. I mean let's just call it. What it is. You couldn't be gay on screen in the nineteen eighties. It was this big taboo and if they dealt with AIDS. It was usually like an very sensitive. Tv movie like an Early Frost or like an indie film. Like one of Steve buscemi's early parting glances and none of them talked about it as an epidemic. They were just stories about gay life and one of the characters would be infected with HIV can see. I remember the one aides. Tv movie. I think from the eighties that I remember. It wasn't even about gay life. It was about a got it from a blood transfusion. Oh yeah they didn't even want to address that Ryan White. He was a hemophiliac definitely. Did try to push that narrative and that story and one of the lessons we can learn about pandemic is until it touches everybody. It's very easy to marginalize or at least a celebrity. That's when Reagan notice when his buddy rock Hudson died of HIV. That's when he's like. Oh maybe we should use some government money to research this. Yes it took. I think seven years from becoming does outbreak in San Francisco. Bath houses to being something that the president would talk about. But my dad was there. Here's the weird thing about my life I knew about. Std's before I knew about sex. My Dad led the Public Health Department on Sexually Transmitted Diseases. One of my earliest memories was that he had this shirt that said stamp out sex in really big letters and then in tiny letters at ped- dash usually transmitted diseases and he walked around the mall and people would point. I wanted to just crawl under awry. They just think it was like he's anti-sex because that's what it sounds like. He was so funny to get those reactions but he was there and he'd come home from work and he's looked yes. I'm going to all the gay bars. Were doing all this outreach. Because of this grid this gay cancer as it was described in the early eighties and eventually became known as eights. And if you want to see a movie around this time that was about it. I think you'd have to look at like fatal attraction. I actually think the whole erotic thriller genre is really a Metaphor about AIDS. Like the idea that if you step out on your wife or you do anything. Outside of your monogamous relationship is going to kill you like many cases. It's just a bitch with a knife but she's eight that's what it is. I never thought about it that but I do like those movies and I did think those movies more than AIDS kept men celebrate. Yeah and if you want to see a movie about the AIDS pandemic one of the earliest made. It was an. Hbo Movie in the Early Nineties was based on a book by randy shells and the band played on the movies kind of me but he's got a lot of celebrities in a lot of recognizable faces and it does a good job of at least telling you the history about how it all unfolded and what it was like. During that time when AIDS equal death there were no drugs. There was no hope and many people felt like it was in times. I really liked that movie. When we get to the review of contagion what contagion reminded me. Most of is in the band played on down. But let's talk about a different kind of outbreak. Yeah I'm surprised out of all the eighties. This is the outbreak movie that you picked Zombie Movie. Yeah I mean what? What else is there? I was looking at least this is a movie about does deal with an actual virus was being discussed. Here is real. I don't know if it's accurate to all the symptoms that you can acquire from it but Borna is an infectious disease that did break out in a little German town and we can discuss it so it had some validity that was the criteria. Oh so that part's real. Yes I had no idea that people ever died and came back. That's really happening. I'm not seeing. The screen is an accurate representation. What I'm saying is I looked for an outbreak movie that had some scientific backing and this writer director was very proud to say he did his research and he wanted this to be as real as possible. Who's even behind that like? Did this come out in theaters. I've never heard of warning sign and I saw it a lot. It was always on cable. I think what happened was this is a first time director. It was someone that had worked a lot with Lucas and Spielberg. He was a ghost rider on close encounters and script doctor and work on return of the Jedi behind the scenes. And what have you? And he was finally getting. His first and his last movie Bar would would never direct again but he wrote the script for Sugarland Express and he just knew the right people. I look this guy up. I've seen a ton of his work. Indiana Jones and the fate of Atlantis Indiana Jones and his Desktop Adventures Indiana Jones in his infernal machine. I played all of those. Yeah on the commentary of this Blu Ray that I had. He basically said that he knew even while he was finishing. This movie. Directing wasn't for him he was getting into this whole video game craze. That was happening and that is where he put all of his energy but at the time he thought he would want to try his hand behind the camera after writing so many scripts his thought was. I've written scripts on the cheap. So much can it be that hard to write movies on the cheap so much. The answer is yes. This movie struggled for budget. Fox was very frugal about wanting to give this movie. Anything at the end. I guess it was a big battle with the producers and the studio to studio punishment was. We're going to put you out at the end of summer. August released not good the week after return of the living dead. So you know like if people even wanted to see Zombie movie the much better Zombie Film. They're not going to go to warning sign. This didn't even crack the top twenty disappeared. A blip you wouldn't have known it happened but it was always on cable and I just always saw pieces of it and I wanted to connect to again. I can't say I was excited but I wanted to connect the images in my mind and what they were talking about. It reminded me a lot of andromeda strain that pace the tone the kind of characters that were in it. It felt much more SCIENC- than your average Zombie movie.
