VIDEO TRANSCRIPT
Meanwhile, Governor Gavin Newsom has declared a state of emergency in California due to bird flu. We had Dr. Eric Feigl-Ding on the show the day before yesterday, and it has now infected so many dairy herds—645 in California alone and over 1,000 nationwide. There have also been three identified H5N1 infections in cats in California, and 61 people have contracted the virus since March, according to the CDC.
Newsom’s declaration will allow California to “have more flexibility around staffing, contracting, and other rules to support California’s evolving response.”
What I did not know, and learned from this article in the LA Times, is that there are two strains of bird flu circulating right now, both H5N1. One is the D1.1 strain, which is circulating in wild birds and is the one that, when it jumps to humans, makes them very sick. The other strain is the B3.1.3 version, which is circulating in dairy cows. This strain has jumped to many people but does not seem to produce as severe a form of influenza.
The hope, I suppose, is that if one of these strains combines with a regular human flu virus, it would be the B3.1.3 strain, which is less pathogenic than the D1.1 strain. Meanwhile, a Canadian teenager has been hospitalized with severe illness from bird flu.
Zoos around the world are also shutting down due to this outbreak. In the U.S., a cheetah, a mountain lion, an Indian goose, and a capybara have died at the Wildlife World Zoo near Phoenix. The San Francisco Zoo had to shut down its aviaries after a red-shouldered hawk was found dead from bird flu. A rare red-breasted goose died at the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle.
Internationally, 47 tigers, three lions, and a panther in zoos across South Vietnam have died from bird flu. In the U.S., Louisiana, Missouri, and Kansas have announced cases of bird flu, particularly in geese and waterfowl. Here in Oregon, approximately 990,000 birds have died, apparently from bird flu.
Keep an eye on this. As I’ve been saying, this could get really ugly, especially as Trump prepares to take office.
What’s on your mind? I’ll pick up your calls right after the break

You are wrong. We are not doing well economically. We are very close to a recession.. I have so much inflation to deal with, homelessness is all around me in my hometown.. You are right to criticize Trump, but it is wrong to be a mouthpiece for the corrupt Democrat party. They (biden and Harris) have not been 'kicking ass'. They are sellouts.. I would like a third-party.
Can't wait to see the narrative spin from the right.. If this causes huge food price spikes will they blame Trump lke they did Biden?
Smell like serious intention to make people ill by bioengineering groups: Is it the atrocity being committed by Zionists with Oligarchs hand in hand??
Bird flu will make quite a good distraction while the gop fleece us and turn our democracy into a dictatorship. Last time they cost us about 5 trillion dollars. They probably want everything this time?
I have been checking on this for the past try few or four weeks…it does sound like things are beginning to escalate. With new administration coming in, we are on our own.😮
Yeah, Trump will completely screw this up, too. Predictable. Wow, people are so clueless.
If you're only fixing stupid in one Blue state, you can't fix stupid in the idiot Red states. Per usual.
AND THE TYRANT AND HIS SICCOPHANTS WILL DO NOTHING…THEY WILL LET US ALL DIE WHILE THEY SPREAD LIES AND MISINFORMATION. GREAT!
Vegetarian for the next years I eat beef at all
I guess those people who drink raw milk are in for a surprise
Wonder who the stool pigeon will be this time
Why the alarms? Let nature take its course.
The reason why is because you can get sick and pass away
It's on one of the Hawaiian Islands here and I hope it doesnt apread to them all. Glad Newsome is being proactive.
The guy that TRUMP picked to advise his admin on Raw Milk is the guy that owns the dairy that has cows infected with Bird Flu. Irony at it's best?
Thank you Thom!! 👏
Glad to hear Gov Newsom is doing his best to help his Cali people, and ultimately all of us!☺️✌️❤️🦋🙏⚖️🇺🇲
Jajaj 😂
Save what The Great Kingdom of America cause that's what's left
We're gonna die, aren't we? 😢
California is the new Titanic
What a joke.
Jeezzz man quit with the bs trying to scare people
What the heck does trump going in to office have to do with this "bird virus"gtfoh
Ex thom. Hartmann lifer, Biden is a living hell for America Trump x 3 we won even you Thom😮❤🎉😅
Man made virus, stemming from the way we treat animals. Especially in USA, give them gm food, hormones, antibiotics, vaccines and torture them in factories, . A real state of emergency would mean shutting down factory farms, instead they just want to panic us into having more vaccines.
As long as Trump is in office, there risk of another pandemic remains likely
Once it crosses over to humans then it will wreak as much havoc as Covid. And once more, Trump will mismanage it.
Dark times ahead this is only the beginning.
This is the reason eggs cost so damn much!
California leads the nation in plenty of other pandemics, homelessness, drug abuse, taxs, mental health issues, and more
The bird flu epidemic is nothing compared to California's government epidemic of public abuse and theft.
Lions and tigers and bears! Oh my‼️
Newsome only allows the homeless to be punished. Unacceptable.
Bringing California’s failed economic policies to the national stage would torpedo America’s struggling economy. If the past is prologue, Vice President Harris would bring these policies to the Oval Office.
State Budget and Revenue:
California’s Legislative Analyst Office updated their estimate for the state’s 2024-25 budget deficit to $73 billion, exceeding Governor Newsom’s original estimate of $38 billion.
From 2019 to 2022, state spending in California increased by 51.1 percent while incomes for California residents rose by just 17.6 percent.
Adjusted gross income in California declined by $18 billion and $29 billion in 2020 and 2021, respectively, as residents fled the state.
SOURCE, HOUSE BUDGET COMMITTEE
Californian here, the real pandemic is the cost of living and taxes that seemingly go to nothing. We are forced to have a car and then get taxes up the a** for owning one.
"Our lives are in your hands and you've got butter-fingers?!?!"
Bird flu will transmit to humans 🤪 Trump will play golf
