-Hello, everyone, and welcome back to the attic.

情態助動詞 B1

Last week you may recall we addressed speculation

about the sudden disappearance of my copy of "The Thorn Birds,"

the 1977 Australian romance novel that inspired

starring a frequently shirtless Richard Chamberlain.

In 1983, it turns out that was the exact right amount

Chamberlain never would have survived in these hairless times

we're living in, where our sex symbols are all Chrises

Anyway, the point is, I left the window open overnight

to get rid of the wasps, but then "The Thorn Birds"

flew out, we think, because it's mating season.

and maybe with child? Impossible to tell.

Meanwhile, the president is pregnant with rage --

that's a segue, a bad one, but technically still a segue --

and decided to give up in the fight against coronavirus

For more on this, it's time for "A Closer Look."

You would think that putting aside his venality,

his narcissism, and his deadly incompetence,

Donald Trump could at the very least muster

a little empathy for the victims of this pandemic,

lost jobs, or made tremendous personal sacrifices

He only has two emotions -- boredom and rage.

He's either staring off into the distance

while someone talks about complex policy details

In fact, just listen to the cold, detached way in which

Trump talked about allowing Americans to die

and the 30 million people who have lost jobs

-Do you believe that's the reality we're facing?

That lives will be lost to reopen the country?

-It's possible there will be some, because you won't be

locked into an apartment or a house or whatever it is.

-There are 30 million Americans who are unemployed.

We're expecting the new unemployment rate this week.

One of your advisers projected an unemployment rate of 19%.

That's nearly one in five Americans without a job.

Or FDR's famous response when they told him

about Pearl Harbor -- "Well, [bleep] happens."

Usually when someone is that soulless and dead-eyed,

you're not asking them questions about the economy,

you can put him back in his restraints now."

"Oh, I don't think the guards can hear you."

Yesterday Trump also made his first major trip in months

to tour a Honeywell factory in Arizona, a trip that gave us

what may end up as one of the enduring images of this crisis.

Trump toured a mask factory as his White House signaled

to focus on reopening the economy instead.

someone chose to blast "Live and Let Die"

Doesn't get much more on the nose than that.

What were the other songs on that play list?

-♪ It's the end of the world as we know it ♪

♪ It's the end of the world as we know it ♪

-You can hear all those classic hits and more

"Live and Let Die" playing while Trump tours a mask factory

And if we are in a video game, does anyone have the cheat code

Because I tried up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right,

B, A, start, and that just made them angrier.

Anyway, sure enough, during that same trip,
