bum-bum-bum-bum-bum hey Jack come on in yes this is the place to come at this time of night so that you can get all of the cares and tensions of the world drained out of your overstressed body today and for the next oh let's say 45 minutes it's nothing but good times we're gonna put things in perspective we're going to make you feel better make you feel relaxed I feel a little observation for you and I don't know what to make of it yet and it goes like this I was watching Obama do his recommendation for Biden and you know that I've commented how dr. Burks has up talk now up Talk is where you end the sentence with a little bit of it up so it makes you sound maybe like a violently girl and then when you do the up top you don't sound as confident because you're sort of asking you make

[1:12]

because you're sort of asking you make you statements but you're making a statements that sounds like a question but have you ever noticed Obama Obama does down talk so Obama's last word is always the the deeper word I'd never noticed that I was watching him today so I'll give you my Obama impression we've got here the back scratcher and have a remote control but you could take your Apple earbuds and you could pair it with your mechanical pen thing listen to him and listen to how he finishes on a confident low note and I thought to myself I think that's really effective and I also asked myself if I do it and I don't know because probably because I'm thinking about it I'll lie there do it or I'll

[2:15]

about it I'll lie there do it or I'll conceal how much I do it or don't do it so maybe you could tell me do I well this is a question so I'm going to up talk the question do I up talk have you ever heard me up talk in what I'm making statements not questions and if you ever noticed me because I really don't know do i down talk on the bat on the last on the last word do I give you a sentence and then I'm talking like this because it makes me sound confident because I'm starting the sentence and you say what's it all about and I finish it fast I finished hard I finish it strong because I'm coming in and I'm just laying it down there and just putting it down there finishing down somebody says no you don't I think you mean no I don't up talk oh look what I did I
automatically did a down talk I think I'm going to practice that speaking of

[3:18]

I'm going to practice that speaking of people who have interesting ways of speaking one of my favorite TV senators and maybe one of yours as well is senator Kennedy so you know you know I was sent her to Canda t he's got I don't know what state as from he's got an accent it makes him sound I assume it's southern it's a little bit slower it's interesting to listen to and what he's talking between the fact that what he says tends to be very clever often funny him because he says it in a certain way and there's a variation in the way he talks you can't look away when he's on television because something interesting is going to happen and I was watching him he was on martha maccallum show on fox and he was he was making the case for why he thinks

[4:19]

making the case for why he thinks essentially that the the virus came from a Wuhan biological lab of some sort as opposed to a web market and one of the things that I do appreciate about our elected officials is that while I I normally hate the fact there's so many of them our own lawyers I feel like we have too many lawyers some lawyers very good you know a few lawyers yeah you want some good advice the lawyers are smart they're solid thinkers but certainly there's too much of a good thing sometimes right I mean you could have too many lawyers and that would argue you know maybe we've reached that level but that said though the ones who are good enough lawyers that they become well known run for run for office and wind tend to be pretty good lawyers and so so it when you watch you to say

[5:21]

and so so it when you watch you to say Lindsey Graham you know argue something on TV or you're watching senator Kennedy they just do a really good job of making a case in a way that other people just aren't as clever so here here's some of the evidence and you can make up your own mind so senator Kennedy says and I think this this is a fact he says as a fact I know that there was a study and an article that alleges this is the fact but I'm gonna say I'm skeptical of this fact I'm not skeptical of his overall conclusion but this fact has me with a little bit of skepticism and the fact is somebody said that there were any bats at the Wuhan web markets and so the implication is the virus could not have spread from the back to a human in the wet market because of the web market because there were no bats there to do that now I feel as if I just feel as if that

[6:22]

now I feel as if I just feel as if that might not be true maybe there was a bat or two now that doesn't mean it came from the bat us like that I'm just saying that I don't know we would try to make up a cover story that couldn't be possible because there were no bats maybe because whatever they did is pretty remarkable so you almost can't put anything past them but but let's let's take Senator Kennedy's case he alleges that it's known that there were no bats let's say and there was a lab nearby and there's the story in The Washington Post that this says there was some kind of a report a few years ago that that lab had coronavirus it had the virus and it had insufficient safety guidelines and safety protocols and stuff so apparently apparently it was

[7:24]

stuff so apparently apparently it was known that that lab had this stuff and that it could get out and it was a known problem that had been written up and there weren't any bats there at the web market we also know that is it true that the the doctors who originally reported this sort of either died or disappeared are there a bunch of people who died or disappeared and didn't Chyna say we can't look into it you know there's no more looking into it and didn't Chyna say that didn't try to say that it wasn't transferable from person to person from human to human it sort of adds up to I don't know how it could be any and they also closed they closed Wuhan at the same time they were saying it was no big deal like they they totally closed their city it's no big deal if you're wondering about the timing I think it was January 23rd they

[8:25]

timing I think it was January 23rd they closed Wuhan and the very next day which was probably the next periscope I did I assume I called for closing travel so the moment that China said we're going to close Wuhan I said okay I'm done I do not need to see any additional information if if somebody has some kind of a virus and they blockade their entire city what other questions do you need to ask to know that it's time to close down the airports I mean that's what I said you know you could say to yourself Scott the the experts of the CDC and the World Health Organization and China to which I say did you hear the part about China closed a major city you couldn't even get in or out because of a virus that's

[9:30]

get in or out because of a virus that's killing people if you tell me you need to study this a little bit longer I don't think you heard this part China closed a major city they didn't let people travel in and out no extra study required close the airport so yeah now that some time is going by those of you who some of you sort of remember the moment you remember the you know my rant and now you can see it in hindsight and you can see how how accurate that was anyway so here's some questions for you will president Chi remain in power now obviously has a pretty good grip on the country he's a dictator in practical terms so there's certainly no political process for removing him well I suppose

[10:33]

process for removing him well I suppose the you know if the if the party wanted to remove them they could but I don't see that as being likely in their system but here's the thing the coronavirus scandal just went from we're accusing you you're denying it to another level wouldn't you say wouldn't you say we'll get rid of this critic wouldn't you say that China has a big scandal now and that we're past the point of questioning whether whether they're responsible in a very bad way but that's not the real problem for China you know it's bad to have a bad reputation but isn't this going to cause all of the major countries that were victims of this to decouple you know the United States I'm sure is going to decouple I don't know how quickly you

[11:34]

decouple I don't know how quickly you know who's gonna pay for it what it looks like but it's the beginning of the end there's not any question that the United States is going to have less business there not more I think the same probably with Japan and I would expect some of the European countries to follow so it seems to me that the only path that China has is economic catastrophe I think the United States will will climb on to this pretty readily you know if you want to feel good about the United States here's a little fact that I heard from Peter Navarro who by the way was excellent on television today melisten to Peter Navarro just talked on a news show I don't know if he's always this good because I haven't really paid attention to him but he gave just one of the best TV interviews you'll ever say I you know it wasn't flashy so maybe nobody's gonna

[12:34]

it wasn't flashy so maybe nobody's gonna maybe it didn't take note you know maybe nobody noticed but the the clarity of his thought and they and the precision in which he just you know presented things in a simple way for the public was really good a plus Peter Navarro anyway so it seems I don't know I was even talking about Peter Navarro there was some point there but oh yeah I was gonna make you feel good yours here's something Peter Navarro said he was talking about the ventilators and how the American companies were gearing up to rapidly create ventilators and I think which company was but one of the car companies I believe built a ventilator factory that was using their own factory as a retrofit and they started producing ventilators in 11 days in 11 days we spun up a ventilator factory and we're well on the way to producing on I think

[13:35]

well on the way to producing on I think he said 150,000 ventilators a hundred and fifty thousand ventilators it looks like we'll need about a third of them we'll probably you know take 2/3 of them and you know distribute them to States for store houses and stuff for storage and then we'll probably help other countries but how how proud are you to live in the country that can make a ventilator Factory in 11 days you know remember when we were watching China put up their little instant hospitals and everybody was saying my god we can't do that we'll never build a hospital 11 days like China then we build a ventilator factory in 11 days now bad now I assume I assume it was probably more about assembling parts from other places so it was probably yeah had a lot more to do with assembling than anything else but still 11 days pretty impressive

[14:36]

here's what I proposed I just tweeted this before I get out here I prefer proposal when the coronavirus is behind us and sunday will be that we forgive each other be you democrats or republicans be you professionals and experts and doctors be you businesspeople be you citizens i I propose that we just forgive each other for all of our honest mistakes during the fog of war because let's admit there's always somebody's gonna be right but only because there's always somebody on every side of every issue so somebody's gonna be right back lock but nobody knows what's the right thing to do nobody really had quite the right information in the early days no but he's smart enough to know what's the exact right thing to do and the right time to do it so whether we got things right or whether some people got

[15:37]

things right or whether some people got some things wrong there both luck the things we did right a little bit of luck the things we did wrong bad luck because you know you just can't be smart when you don't have data and you don't have a way to get it but that's what I'm talking about honest mistakes if you make honest mistakes I think we should just forgive each other but we should not forgive dishonest mistakes and I don't have any evidence that anybody involved in this country has a dishonest mistake I know you're gonna think so-and-so lied blow the blob and I don't think that's necessarily the case I think some people had bad information and you know took bad information forward but I don't know that anybody had bad intentions in this country however China made a different kind of mistake as far as we can tell now apparently the president is gonna

[16:39]

now apparently the president is gonna withhold funding from the World Health Organization until he gets an answer and maybe that'll tell us whether China did something let's say intentional versus unintentional but it's certainly looking every bit as if China made a dishonest mistake in other words they they just lied to us and knew it so under those conditions I don't think we have to yell at them and call the beams we don't have to disrespect them but it wouldn't make any sense to have a future with them in which we're continuing to trade because they don't have it they don't have a system that's compatible with our system so whatever it is whatever it is about their system I don't even need to judge it I'm not going to say it's a good system I'm not going to say it's bad I'm not going to say that the Chinese government is good or bad I don't you know I mean I have an opinion but it doesn't matter for what

[17:40]

opinion but it doesn't matter for what I'm gonna say next and certainly I don't think the Chinese people are anything except awesome people everybody I know from China is pretty pretty amazing so you know but still we can say no hard feelings but our systems don't work together whatever it is that we're doing you know this democracy capitalism you know as much transparency as you can it just doesn't fit with the will get away with anything we can and we're gonna hide as much as we can those two systems don't work now if they were both the same system I don't know would that work who knows maybe maybe you would both be okay with it because you're both doing the same thing but it's not personal you know we don't have to say China we're in a cold war now we don't have to do that we could just say you know we'd love to connect our telecommunications equipment stuff that's made in your country but we also like security and you haven't built

[18:41]

also like security and you haven't built anything that has that feature so it's nothing personal we just can't connect to your telecom equipment because you don't have a feature we need the feature is security should you ever have that feature we'd love to talk to you again but I think we should just completely do personalize this thing because you know I don't know what they're thinking but I don't have a bad feeling about anybody in China except you know maybe some of the leaders but let's just not make your personal it's just business if you got a system and we got a system and they just don't talk why force it all right
most of you probably saw Obama's endorsement of Joe Biden and I cheekily tweeted this a little while ago this is me imagining a conversation between Obama and some sample Democrats and Obama says

[19:41]

Obama says going to endorse a candidate today the Democrats in unison say yay is the candidate pretty and Obama says he has a great personality it felt like that's what he was saying did you note that when Obama was describing the greatness of Joe Biden there were two categories one he attended meetings for important stuff now the way Obama says it is Obama put Biden in charge and he got things done but did he I think he attended meetings of things that were going to happen one way or the other that you know that Obama ordered and other people pretty much executed but okay you know he was at the meetings but how much did that did divided initiate he did initiate some stuff I don't

[20:42]

he did initiate some stuff I don't remember Obama mentioning it but it seems like Obama was really focusing on his personality am I am I wrong you know he might have said character and you know you need a you need a president you need the president who's got these qualities and the colds are you know and and I'm thinking to myself you're so three years too late because if president Trump's personality quirks were going to ruin the country when we have a sample of that already think about it we've had three and a half years of President Trump and from the very beginning people were saying that personality that character of his yeah the way he thinks and operates those those times he's not going to pass the

[21:43]

those times he's not going to pass the fact-checking all that personality stuff that's going to cost you it's gonna cost you what would be an example of that three and a half years he's been exactly the same person for three and a half years if it's if it's Obama's biggest three and a half years later he'd better come up with a lips
he better come up with an example if that's your biggest complaint is the guy's personality and how that personality will wreck stuff after three and a half years you need to give us an example of that the economy went down because the time Trump told a joke was that it the the unemployment level rose because that time Trump insulted a member of the press right did that

[22:45]

member of the press right did that happen I don't remember that happening so give us an example you know that so that was such a 2015 way to approach Joe Biden that it made me think there was no no organic enthusiasm did he pick up on that there was that it was like Obama sat down to write an essay and the topic he didn't care about all right please write an essay the advantages of joe biden over the evil orange menace President Trump and you know and Obama sat down as a big old pencil and he's like all right oh he is character it is not the type of fiber we need to be leadership in the country oh I'm not just talking about mayors I can fill up this page not just talking about

[23:46]

this page not just talking about governors need to fill up the page I'm not just talking about Congress okay they'll be odd to me if I do another sentence like that and I'm just listening to this thing and it looked like the most uninspired essay that was written by somebody who really didn't want to write the essay and the best thing he could come up with is this guy's got a good personality I swear to God
God yeah damned by favorites I swear to God the the biggest advantage Joe Biden has as a Democratic candidate is that nobody dislikes him think about that have you during this whole process Joe Biden has been you know criticized and insulted and just every way you know every accusation from you know corruption to senility I'd be just everything he's had every charge at him but let me ask you this to his credit

[24:49]

but let me ask you this to his credit have you heard even one person say that he's not a nice guy right even President Trump said in public the other day he's a really nice guy and everybody who's on the other side can't even find anything that they don't like about him but I think the Democrats have mistaken Biden having no reason to dislike him with having the qualities to be President now one of the characteristics of human beings as we're always fighting the last war you've heard that phrase right so and I think it was a Duvall who were saying I don't know if he quoted somebody or this was his own observation that you are the you're the result of your traumas that you know that who you are is mostly defined by the the biggest problems you had and you know how you got got past them and since the country

[25:50]

got got past them and since the country the Democrats specifically have been undergoing this three and a half a year trauma of being you know in a country in which their most heated nemesis President Trump is the president you got a figure that they're that they're gonna fight the war of the personality war it's the one that lost because they tried to beat him on personality and character and it didn't work yeah that's what the whole grab him by the whatever tape was about your your character is bad we can't have that character so they're coming around again with the old character attack and it feels like Joe Biden was the antidote out to the mental anguish of Trump I just just hold this thought in your head for a moment and you'll see how profound it is or not if you're thinking about Trump what is literally the opposite of him its Biden Biden is almost the literal

[26:51]

its Biden Biden is almost the literal opposite of Trump I believe that that the Democrats wanted the most opposite person because they had such a high level of hatred for Trump and then whoever ran against him just had to be the most different and when somebody like Mike Bloomberg gets on the stage well it doesn't matter that Mike Bloomberg is considered highly capable and and honest right I mean he was considered highly capable and honest that should have been good enough right and probably Mike Bloomberg said to himself look if we're running against President Trump and I think I have you know all these billionaire credentials and I've been a mayor I mean I've got the resume clearly I have the skills I have the money I'm a reasonable guy you know I'm nice to people I have all the right policies why wouldn't I win and here's what I think he missed I think he missed they he's a billionaire from New York and he's not different enough he's just

[27:52]

and he's not different enough he's just not different enough it's not good enough that even if he thought Mike Bloomberg had more skill and was nicer it's just not different enough and the most different person was Joe Biden so you could take almost any of the other candidates Amy Klobuchar very capable you know one of the top politicians could still be the vice presidential pick has not been ruled out and by all accounts a very capable you know politician but you know that the story better being beamed to her staff and I know eating the salad with the comb or whatever she was a little bit mean so she wasn't opposite enough of the thing they hated the most about Trump what about Carla Harris well in many ways she was the opposite of but not in personality in personality people thought she could be a little harsh yeah maybe she'd been a little me and

[28:52]

yeah maybe she'd been a little me and she had prosecuted a little too hard so you could see how people would be looking for the farthest from their trauma which was Trump and so Biden I think was just the default all right I told you that some some restaurants might start selling goods directly to the public because they have different supply chains so if you wanted to buy toilet paper and your grocery store didn't have any there's actually a pretty good chance that you could go to your local restaurant that's only doing takeout because they have to close because of the shutdown and say hey can you order be a bunch of toilet paper and they'd say sure will you take a 20% markup 50% whatever it is and then they just buy it and walk it out to the car so I just found out there is one of our local another one of our local businesses is doing this the the first retail house at Livermore in California if it's something that's something they

[29:55]

if it's something that's something they would ordinarily order anyway from a cut of meat salmon or actually toilet paper that's on their list you can buy it over the phone and you just drive up and you show your receipt in the window and they carry it out and put it in your trunk you know you don't have to have any human contact you're behind the glass of your car you just hold up the receipt pop your trunk boom you got yourself some groceries and you never went to the grocery store now what I say this and you know it's really amazing how people are adapting right people the best entrepreneurs just just found new ways to make money and when the old ways come back they're gonna have new ways and old ways so I think I think the the best entrepreneurs are actually finding a way to come and come out of this and here's another idea you know the big guy sports

[30:55]

another idea you know the big guy sports businesses are in a lot of trouble because they can't fill the stay because for the obvious reasons of distance so I was saying that maybe these big sports teams should look at this as an opportunity to build sports from the ground up you know same athletes and same basic rules but instead of building a four in person watching why not build it from the ground up before watching it digitally from a distance in other words the reason that the sports can survive just with television as as great as watching sports on television is it's still not optimized for that here's what you could do for example you could Mike all of the players and all the coaches and all of the refs let's say you're a home and you know maybe you've got an app so you can watch sports and you could choose your channel so you could actually hear the ref you could hear the announcers you could hear the defensive

[31:57]

announcers you could hear the defensive line you could hear that you know everything except the quarterback giving them the calls I guess you'd have to turn that off but it would have to be just football it could be basketball baseball and cetera and and you make it a sort of a party in which let's say you know the other people watching are in your gear too so instead of having the the cheering of the crowd that motivates motivates the players it makes you feel like you're part of something and you know of course you get you get motivated by the cheer of the crowd what if what if just saying the cheer of the crowd was in your headphones and it's the other people at home who are literally sharing at home so they you might be hearing you know let's say just to complete this let's say you're watching it on whatever device and you you know you're watching one of the channels you're listening to the defense of the offense and the players there get it rip

[32:57]

offense and the players there get it rip this guy apart he always leans left watch this I mean I'm gonna make him lean left and I'm gonna take his legs out anyway and you're listening to it and then there's a play and then you know the app just lets all the cheering from all the living rooms through and and let's say that the just to extend this just a brainstorm and let's say the pliers let's say the players also have an earpiece so that the players can because this is a microphone as well as an earpiece so they've got an earpiece so they can actually hear the cheering so what if they can hear you cheering at home and why not is there there's no technological reason that you couldn't hear everybody cheering from their living room you just have to build the app that does it then you you can imagine that the the players were talking to each other you'd be able to pick up that etc now you might say to yourself well I don't want to listen to these boring athletes and their inane

[33:58]

these boring athletes and their inane chatter but that's what you're thinking about it develop the old way I'm not saying do business exactly the same way I'm saying tell the players that part of their job is to be interesting Mike them up there there's always going to be a few funny people on every team you don't need all nine players on the field to be witty and entertaining if you've got a hilarious shortstop and then the other is just sort of you know play to him it's the best show in the world how much would you like watching a baseball game where most of the time you're just waiting for something to happen even if you love baseball let's admit it you're waiting for stuff to happen what but while you're waiting you're hearing the the funniest shortstop in the world just ripping apart the other team and just saying honest that this guy's got you know he's got to do two legs and he hasn't had a hit since Tuesday you know whatever it would be very entertaining anyway so the whole point of it is that if you rethought sports as a digital product it

[35:01]

rethought sports as a digital product it would still work you know every bit of it would still work in the life setting once they go back to you know crowds are okay but in the meantime you'd have a better product so they should go back with a better product it should be improved sports when they go back you shouldn't be the you know just wait take a few months off and then just back to it how boring would that be you know did you see the press conference in which Trump got all over that one idiot in the back who would shut up I thought it was his best you know sort of world wrestling performance because you know I I think I think by now even the people who were slow to catch on have figured out that Trump knows what the show is he knows he's putting on a show and he plays that like a show that took people I think his critics it's taken them years to figure that out and even some of them still talk about it like he just

[36:02]

of them still talk about it like he just lost his temper no that's not what happened he might have been genuinely bad that you know whatever time you're talking about yeah it doesn't matter which time you say that that time you're talking about whatever it was he might have been genuinely mad but that's not why he acted the way he did he didn't act that way because he was mad he acted that way because it's a show and he knows how to put on the show and he used a genuine emotion and whatever time to to put on the show so today's show was excellent there was this I don't know there's some reporter that must have been from some unfriendly publication and you starts asking questions and Trump tries to shut him down and doesn't really let him to get his question now so the guy's insistent and he won't stop talking and Trump's already gone to the next person the guy just keeps talking and Trump just stops puts the the full Trump you know laser cannon focus on

[37:03]

Trump you know laser cannon focus on this guy and it just rips them apart and I'm just watching this and I'm thinking I've never enjoyed politics this much you know we say this all the time it to the point where it's it's trite you're gonna miss this I mean you're really gonna miss this because you don't realize how jacked up your body chemistry is we're kind of addicted to it if I'm being honest we're kind of addicted and you might have taken your team you know let's say your team is team Trump and you're like Trump really tore into that guy that was a good day but of course the other team they think that are winning - so unsee you then it'll be like ah did you see that crazy old Trump did some more crazy stuff because he's so impulsive and he can't control himself right and then their ratings go up and everybody has a good time so it's like everybody wins you know the the reason that you know wrestling and sports and all that work is that everybody gets a chance to win

[38:04]

is that everybody gets a chance to win you know maybe your team loses today buddy you know you're gonna win later so you win - anyway I thought Trump's show was maybe the finest ever just for like a one out of one moment what his best I'm gonna say let's talk about the the fake controversy of whether Trump is trying to be a dictator and overrule the governor's despite despite the constitutional limitations and the press tried to bait Trump back into that conversation and he he wisely decided that he just you didn't want to have that conversation he doesn't need to he doesn't have to answer it here's why there's no real question about what would happen in the real world so talking to the governor's and talking to Charl well what would you do in this situation and what if this and you know who is

[39:05]

and what if this and you know who is really in charge are you in charge you say you're in charge but are you in charge maybe you should talk to him maybe you should fight it now maybe we got a little fight going that's all artificial because neither the governor's nor the president have any question in their mind how this will play out there's no question there's no ambiguity whatsoever among the governor's in the president when you say because here's how it's going to work out whatever is the smartest thing that's what they'll agree to do because remember the visibility on this is extraordinary everything that every governor decides everything the president does the taskforce does we've got 325 million I is looking at it so if if there is such a thing as a good plan and let's say a governor brings it to the president he doesn't have to bring it to the president but let's just say they publicize their plans and let's say

[40:05]

they publicize their plans and let's say the president says oh that one's a problem what's going to happen well the president isn't going to send them the RV and kill them all right the president's going to call them and say look this could be a big problem why are you doing this they'll talk it out the president and well maybe use some pressure by saying look you know we're federal government's giving you a lot of help you got to give us a little you got to give us a little so we'll give you a little might be a little pressure in the end how's it going to work out well in the end the state will give something that's pretty close to what they wanted the president might influence a little bit and that's what you would want it's exactly the way you would want it to go so as long as we're all watching nobody's gonna do something crazy that that the public and the observers would say why are you doing that we're watching we're watching you do that don't do that there's just too many people watching so I don't think there's

[41:06]

people watching so I don't think there's any risk whatsoever that there's any problem between the governors and the federal government and Trump when it comes right down to it you know when when the phone call is made you know when the legislation has to be you know when the check has to be written it's not going to be a problem and you see you've already seen them all work together well enough that I think you believe that let's see so here's here's a real sign of something so in the news AOC and Senator Schumer got together and they're calling on FEMA to supply funeral funding to families who have lost loved ones to the virus and they say quote disaster funeral assistance would help individuals and households with the death of an immediate family remember now you know I don't know much about the issue but sounds like a good one right so in terms of whether this is a good

[42:08]

so in terms of whether this is a good idea or a bad idea I would say anything anything we can do to help the public at this point is a good idea so separate from the question of whether it's a good idea which I don't want to talk about it's just not interesting yeah because it seems like a good enough idea it's not really controversial but what's interesting about this is that a OC and Schumer wouldn't you say are the sort of top five of effective Trump critics is that a fair statement am i seein Schumer when they get together they're like the best strongest Trump critics and what they spent their time on today was something that needed to be done I'm guessing you know it seems like this is a reasonable thing to ask for and I'm happy that they're serving the public I'm sure their constituents are asking for this so I'm totally on board with what they're asking for here's my here's my point here's my point it's all they

[43:08]

my point here's my point it's all they had left it's all they had left because as soon as doctor foul she said president Trump did everything we recommended what do you got as soon as President Trump said let's get a ton of money and give it to people directly and then the Democrats said how about even more money and the president said okay and then when we spend all that money the president's literally in public today is saying you you Democrats got to give us more money more money to give to the poor people what do I even say a OSE and Chuck Schumer have left what issue are they gonna because they can't really talk about the economy everybody understands why the economy is the way it is they can't really talk about him handling things wrong because the experts told them what to do and he just did it and they're the ones saying president you have to listen to the

[44:09]

president you have to listen to the experts on climate change I think in a weird way the most positive endorsement I've ever seen a president Trump came today completely accidentally and in a different realm that had nothing to do with him that two of his strongest you know nemec's got together to do something that was simply useful for the public and by the way to their credit so thank you you know I'm sure the families will appreciate that I hope I hope him what comes through but that's all they had left think about that think about think about that was the issue that was left important and I'm glad they did it but it kind of shows that the president is sort of hitting the you know he's pulling the big levers and hitting the big buttons and what's left needs to be mopped up it's not less important but certainly suggests that the president's

[45:09]

certainly suggests that the president's on the right path all right I promised you 45 minutes of stellar entertainment pretty sure I delivered so tonight by the way did anybody try my technique for relaxation the technique was to remember your last haircut or you know hair salon visit and just imagine yourself go through the steps and how I felt and spelled and and all that stuff so in the comments what the comments catch up just tell me if that worked for you on average before one on various 7500 people die every day we can if we can't afford it okay so I ask the question of people who think we're panicking on this thing to tell me what it would look like for

[46:12]

to tell me what it would look like for them to be wrong in other words how many people would have to die when we go back to work for somebody who said you know you're you're overselling this thing it's not that big a deal compared to other problems we have you know what level of death would it take for you to look back and say whoa I guess the experts were right this was way worse than the flu is there a number that you would say yeah I was wrong I just wonder what that would be thank you I drink myself to sleep so somebody now my husband wants me to cut his hair if somebody doesn't like haircuts aw that's too bad awesome suggestion it worked like a charm slept like a baby

[47:13]

amazingly no panic oh it worked again okay Wow I guess it worked pretty well I'll try it again the sort of thing that you could do more than once all right that's all for now I will talk to you in the morning Dennis Prager posted a letter written by five doctors who think a lockdown was not necessary does that mean anything pretty sure you can find five or five doctors to say anything all right we'll talk about that tomorrow enough of that have a great night
