[1:17]

yep I can feel that our dipping below one
one yeah that's core coronavirus talk yeah there was a time when I would not say things like well I hope we can get the are less than one here's a list of things we still don't know amazingly we don't know if ventilators make things better or worse what seriously we don't know that now are you kidding me we don't know if ventilators make it better or worse now I mean I can get why we didn't know in the beginning but now we still don't know if ventilators make it better or worse we don't know if I JAXA chloroquine works still are you kidding me I mean a lot of you have an opinion but we don't have good visibility on that yet given that it only takes the entire course of having

[2:19]

only takes the entire course of having the virus is like a you know a 10-day two-week thing how many ten-day two-week periods have passed since we first said hey how about this hydroxychloroquine and we still don't know are you kidding me what's wrong how about REM des aver we think that's pretty good right because you saw you saw the news come out there I'm desert air it looks like it's really successful did you know that at the same time they're saying REM does severe is very successful that they say but they kind of mutter this it trails off listen to the second part I'll moderate so maybe it won't be that clear so you have to listen carefully REM does severe had a very successful trial we have very high hopes for it it's working very well except that it doesn't seem to change the death rate whatsoever but the trial went very well we can see that the levels of viruses were decreasing but

[3:20]

levels of viruses were decreasing but for some reason the same and when of people died no matter what whether they're on the truck or not however the drug is very very promising what are you kidding me we don't know if from des viewer has any impact on the death rate because we haven't seen it meaning meaning we haven't seen and making any difference now if it doesn't change the death rate what's it doing what's it doing now I get that they can measure that people are clear to the virus faster but if they die at the same rate that's sort of the whole game isn't it did we go through this whole thing so we can get people coughing fewer than four days you know four days fewer that it would have been otherwise is that why we did all this so I would say REM desert here has a lot of questions how about vaccinations to see a story today that maybe you will never have one because there's a really good chance we

[4:21]

because there's a really good chance we will never have a vaccination because this this virus is similar to once that we still don't have the vaccination for it wouldn't be it wouldn't be the first time we couldn't find a vaccination at all now I feel optimistic that we will but we don't know that we also don't know why viruses ever peter out we don't know why it's not because of herd instinct apparently we're not hurt instinct it's not because of herd immunity it's not because of vaccinations he had the fire ologist in France the top guy said you know we don't even know why they ever stopped they just do I mean you can send yourself well it's obviously because of X but is it is this we don't know the experts don't know so those are all the things we don't know about this coronaviruses situation but I wanted to do a little math for you and this will be a little math that you can do at home I'm going to give you some raw numbers and I want

[5:23]

to give you some raw numbers and I want you to check my bath now there should be time that you can just quickly calculate this and so many people do do it in the comments so we can say and here's the calculation what if the rest of the country the United States had the same experience in terms of death rate as New York City what would the death rate be in the whole country if it if it turned out in the long run to be similar to what New York City is experiencing just so far not even counting future deaths in New York City just what what they've had so far here are the numbers that you can calculate that from and check to make sure that the raw numbers are right - I think they're pretty close so this might be a few days old but the number of dead in New York City that was above the baseline expected dead so there so listen to how I'm calculating this I'm not saying this is the number of coronavirus deaths I'm saying this is

[6:26]

coronavirus deaths I'm saying this is the number of deaths above the baseline for a normal year in New York City and they said it was 21,000 more deaths in New York City so the implication is that that's mostly coronavirus or all but that doesn't matter that's just the death rate so the death rate was twenty one thousand more than normal population in New York City eight point six million so take your twenty one thousand dead divided by eight point six million and tell me if you get point zero zero two four so that would be the the ratio of people who died in New York City above and beyond what what they expected in a normal year and then takes the population of the United States 327 million subtract out the eight point six million because you've already dealt with them separately so what's left is I think you got about three hundred and eighteen million people that are not New

[7:26]

eighteen million people that are not New York City now if the 318 million who were not in New York City had the same death rate as the ones that are New York City how many people will die in the United States can somebody give me that number because I don't believe I calculated it right because it would be seven hundred and sixty-four thousand people dead so
somebody's calculating I don't know what that number seven hundred and seventy six thousand dead yeah so in that range so over seven hundred thousand dead if the rest of the United States went the way that New York City is going but what it I mean do it is there any reason to think because New York City is very special right it's special in the sense that there's so much that's different about it you've got more people coming in from different places you've got more elevators you got your subways it's a different demographic I don't know if

[8:28]

different demographic I don't know if people smoke more or what probably less New York City I don't know what the ratio is but but here's the question are those differences in New York City the kind of differences that you would say oh don't worry about the rest of the country because they're not like New York City is that statement do you find that a statement to be reasonable I'll say it again just just check your two thinking here is this a reasonable statement the rest of the United States will not go the way New York City went even if you didn't mitigate so listen let's make it hypothetical let's say nobody mitigated with the rest of the country and look like New York City even when the York City is mitigating so it's yeah the best the best comparison is you're you're taking the the smallest risk which is that New York City with full mitigation and the rest of the

[9:28]

full mitigation and the rest of the country you know without it could you get to could you get to some horrible situation the answer is yes but you say to yourself but the rest of the country is not New York City so that doesn't matter right but explain to me what would keep the rest of the country from having the same experience but slower just slower because the whole point of the coronavirus and flattening the curve is that New York City it's hard to slow it because of the density yeah so people are just giving to each other too quickly but in the rest of the country you could slow it down right so that's different totally different you can slow it down in the rest of the country but not in New York City it's harder to slow it down is that a difference because the number of people who get it the ratio of people who get it in the rest of the country should be the same in the long run it will just take longer to get there am i right so fact check this that

[10:32]

there am i right so fact check this that the rest of the country would in fact there's no reason we we have no reason to suspect well you know you don't know what's gonna happen but you have no reason to suspect that the rest of the country would not venture alykum up to new york city levels if you let it in other words if you said alright the rest of the country looks pretty good let's take off the controls with the rest of the country reached the same ratio as New York City it would right what would stop it I can't think of anything that would stop it
somebody did somebody suggesting summer one of the other unknowns we have is whether this virus stops in the summer we assume so but we actually don't know that apparently that's not a given can you hold out until a vaccine well I saw an article today that we might never have one Bill Gates thinks it could take two years which would be too long to be in lockdown so the people who said this is

[11:34]

lockdown so the people who said this is just the flu have to explain this math they have to explain to me why the rest of the country would have a different experience over time not as quickly we all agree that it wouldn't happen as quickly but over time when you reach the same number of deaths as a ratio as you did in New York City and let me ask you this do you think the people in New York City are more or less healthy than the people in the middle of the country have you seen the middle of the country have you seen in Iowa have you ever traveled in this country through the middle we are an overweight country but New York City not so much New York City's what are your thinner cities in fact checked me on this so I do a lot of traveling or used to back in the days when people traveled I did a lot and if you were going to LA everybody's thin you go to San Francisco people are pretty thin you go to New York City people pretty thin you got a

[12:36]

York City people pretty thin you got a Texas now so thin you go to the middle of the country anywhere and there are so many people there how are they going to do when the coronavirus sweeps through the grossly overweight population probably not as well as New York City probably not as well so we'll say so believe it or not even at this late date we do now have general agreement in this country not even close to agreement whether the coronavirus is worse than the regular flu right now things got really quiet in the comments when I asked you to come up you know to sort of do the bath if the rest of the country went like New York City and I think you'd agree we see no reason it wouldn't happen there's nothing to stop it we should have three quarters of a million people died and the next year or so that didn't need to die now is that

[13:38]

so that didn't need to die now is that the regular flu three quarters of a million and are the people who are not afraid of that three-quarters of a million people died is it because they can't tell the difference between a country that's in lockdown and doing social distancing and one that isn't because I think that the people who are still in favor of continued the people are still want to open up the country as quickly as possible and I'm I'm in the camp that says we should open up sooner than later so I'm not arguing against it I'm just thinking it through the people who want to open it up when I see the power Ewing in public they act as though they can't tell the difference between a fully mitigated situation that we're in now and one is fully unmitigated it's like they act like those are the same right correct me if I'm wrong don't don't all the people who say so I would

[14:38]

don't all the people who say so I would put let's say Candis Owens in this category and I don't want to let me speak more generally because I don't want to put I don't want to assume that I know the internal thoughts of someone else so I'll talk generally just but a Candis would be represent the people who are more aggressive about getting back to work now again I'm pretty close to that point of view myself the difference is that unlike some of the people who say we should get back to work I can tell the difference between mitigated it didn't unmitigated and I looked at them as separate so when I say let's get back to work I do say it's gonna cost us a few hundred thousand people and we still should do it that's my opinion but if you're arguing we should get back to work and it won't cost us a few hundred thousand people what numbers are you looking at because the numbers I'm looking at as soon as we take the mitigation off it should get there now it could be the

[15:38]

should get there now it could be the experts are wrong have the experts ever done wrong yeah a lot so it could be that Candice and folks who have that point of view turned out to be the ones were right you know can I rule that out nope I cannot rule that out I can't rule out at this point I can't rule out that a year from now we'll be saying Scott you freaking idiot you told us that this was dangerous we took all the mitigation off and nobody extra died maybe I mean maybe this summer will be enough to take the edge off it we get some therapeutics we figure out stop using ventilators just you know brainstorming here maybe maybe the death rate plunges in the next few months no matter what we do it's possible so I guess there's some some controversy about whether Candice Owens got banned temporarily from Twitter I'm just watching the conversation online

[16:40]

just watching the conversation online and people seem to think her account still exists so therefore she was not banned but other people say no it looks like that it's just that she can't tweet so it looks like it's live to us but if she tried to tweet she wouldn't be able to allegedly so I don't know the details I don't know what's banned what isn't that's just the controversy and it's going around and I guess the the sub part of that controversy is that the only thing anybody can think of as to why she would be banned from Twitter is that Twitter things she's spreading misinformation or bad information about the coronavirus now I also think that Candice spreads dangerous and bad information about the coronavirus but am I an expert no it is my opinion about what is dangerous to spread about the coronavirus should you take that seriously No

[17:40]

seriously No no I'll tell you what my opinion is worth taking seriously and this is one of them because there's nobody who knows there's nobody who's smart enough there's no expert there's no mathematician there's no statistician who can tell you when's the right right time to go back to work if it were easy we wouldn't be arguing about it it's just unknowable so so we all end up using sort of our our biases or gut instinct our our guessing so I'll make a guess because we have to make a decision right we don't have the option of not making decisions even not making a decision is the decision of not going back to work so you got to make a decision but I think you need to have some humility about how comfortable you could be knowing you're right I would say I'm not comfortable I'll give you my opinion but don't ask me to be confident about it that would be crazy and anybody who acts confident about their opinion either going back to work

[18:41]

their opinion either going back to work or staying locked up longer if they're acting confident you should immediately ignore them like the moment you see strong confidence you should run the other direction now that's probably one of my issues with Candace's opinion on this it's not even the details of the opinion which I end up being very close to in other words my opinion isn't very far from Candace's I don't even know if there is a difference actually but the difference is she at least she presents herself publicly as very being very certain that that's the right answer I can't I can't get close to that level of certainty even though I'm leaning in the same direction now I'm not sure that it's bad to act certain when you're not I don't know if that's the wrong thing in this situation because certainty is part of what influences other people and even I'm watching the show as a spectator and I say you know if I could

[19:43]

spectator and I say you know if I could if I could influence people to maybe agree with my best gas maybe I'd do that I just don't know if I want to Kandice might want to influence people and when you're influencing sometimes you do take on more certainty than you actually feel internally so again this is speculation because I can't tell you what Candis or everybody else in the world is thinking I can't know that I can only know what they're doing and then I try to put my interpretation of it but it's my interpretation I don't know what's in there yet so my interpretation is that Candis is one of the best persuaders in the game and if she is taking on more confidence in the way she persuades then she might internally feel I would say that's okay I would say that's okay because that's what persuasion is but I'd be a little wary of anybody you think actually

[20:43]

wary of anybody you think actually believes their own confidence so I added up I ended up unfollowing Candice because I couldn't stand I couldn't stand what I thought was bad information so I had I had the same opinion that I think Twitter had because we don't know why she was banned but the only thing anybody can think of is that Twitter thought that her her recommendations were counter to the experts I believe specifically I think the one that got her allegedly and I don't know what the word is it's not banned but like what happens suspended get a timeout whatever the word is I think what it was is that she was seemingly suggesting not paying attention to the government guidelines so it could be that Twitter just said I it's just too dangerous to have people suggest that we should ignore government health and safety guidelines but here's where the

[21:47]

safety guidelines but here's where the real issue is if that's your standard for suspending someone on Twitter how do you not apply that to the Surgeon General of the United States how do you not apply it to every politician who is misspoken of which there have been men when I say misspoken I'm being generous because politicians have flat-out giving you wrong dangerous information lots of them on both sides including the president probably I can't think of an example but one assumes that every politician has given you bad information at least once the Surgeon General told you not to wear a mask the World Health Organization that had more misinformation than information why are they not banned who gets to decide is the Surgeon General okay because at least he was trying well at least he was trying sure he got it wrong but at least he's a medical professional at least he was trying well what Kansas doesn't get the benefit of the doubt what if she

[22:49]

the benefit of the doubt what if she gets run wrong what if she uses her just good judgment looks to the situation and it's not so much a medical one as it is you know a risk management situation of do you want to risk this to get back to earth do you believe this statistics that sort of thing what if Candace makes a good yeah let's say a good intentioned opinion and what if it's wrong wrong in the sense that after everything is said and done you can look back and say oh that was the wrong decision in hindsight so in hindsight what if it was wrong can can you suspend somebody for being wrong with good intentions if you have good intentions you show your work and I believe Kansas shows her work right she is she has tweeted you know all kinds of data sources links analyses opinions the support her point of view she's in gasps right she might right or

[23:51]

she's in gasps right she might right or she might be wrong but she's not guessing she's looked at all the data I suppose we're all guessing at the end because we don't know the answer anyway so I completely support Candace's free speech I'm pretty close to her opinion I don't like one bit the way she's expressing it in this case because I think her level of confidence is misleading but that's a personal decision she could make that decision that's not up to me the judge so I don't judge her and don't much disagree with the the ultimate direction that she's promoting that was too much on that alright I know you want me to talk about Kim jong-il and his photo so there was the photo and then there's video so the photo showed Kim children cutting the ribbon and I called I called BS on that photo now if somebody said Scott Scott Scott joke's

[24:53]

somebody said Scott Scott Scott joke's on you because there's a video too there's a video so the video isn't a lie is it deep breath let me just let me just say it again and then maybe you can figure out where my head's at Scott Scott Scott don't you know it must be true because it's on video do I need to go on its 20/20 anybody who says to me Scott Scott Scott it must be true look at the video where have you been for the last five years four years is really really crunch time last four years if you haven't noticed in the last four years that video can lie where have you been the entire of fine people hoax is based on a selectively edited video the entire the president wants you to drink

[25:54]

entire the president wants you to drink Clorox hoax is based on selective video where you just don't show the whole context video is the most misleading thing in the world what about the Covington kids do you know why I thought that the Covington kids were actually to blame for about 24 hours until I saw the video from the other angle it's because video lies video is a big ol liar it's a lying liar did y'all see the deep fakes of you can see Trump giving an Obama speech for and giving a trump speech in rona words it's crazy now I don't think that the videos were deep fakes but if you're saying he must be alive because there's a video just listen to yourself just try saying that out loud look at the mirror look in the mirror those who those of you said Scott you're wrong because there's a video look in the mirror and look at the mirror and say to yourself yes I believe Scott's wrong because

[26:57]

yes I believe Scott's wrong because there's a video can you even say that in the mirror and look yourself in the eye you know that video doesn't mean anything you know that right does this North Korea have the ability to find some old video tape that might look like he was he was touring some facility that looked industrial yeah how hard would it be to fake that pretty easy pretty easy right now here's the fun part
let me if anybody's new to this let me say I'm mostly having fun here if you mistakenly think you heard me say I am a hundred percent sure these are fake pictures and Kim jong-un is actually dead I'm not saying that all right I'm just having fun but can you agree that the video has no evidentiary value would you agree with that would you agree that the evidence the evidentiary value of

[28:00]

the evidence the evidentiary value of the video is zero in 2020 I hope we agree with that right because if you thought it was proof I don't know where you've been for four years because video is more misleading than than anything else all right secondly here's some fun parts now the next thing I tell you I can't put any assessment of credibility on okay somebody says Scott you mentioned video first though nope now you can't change the history the only the thing I saw first was the photo still photo and then later somebody said hey there's a video so don't change the history right so here's the fun part and I could put no assessment of credibility on the next thing I tell you so a Twitter user who shall remain nameless took that photo and ran it through apparently there's a piece of software which is for this purpose to

[29:00]

software which is for this purpose to find that if something's been photoshopped and the way the software allegedly works is that it finds edges so if the edges look either too good or not good enough that's telling you something right so there's the the sharpness of the edges like you know let's say the difference between Kim jong-un's body and then his background that that distinction if it's too sharp or too fuzzy that should tell you something based on the software so this Twitter user took that photo ran it through the software and what did the software say well according to him and I'm not an expert at analyzing the output of that kind of software according to him it's unambiguously a fake somebody is yelling at me in all caps saying you were angry not funny what you were angry not funny in all

[30:02]

what you were angry not funny in all caps well you get blocked for being unclear and yelling in capital letters all right so what do you think so if any any if any of you can fact check beyond this I would put I don't put any any kind of reliability on what I just told you I don't know that there is such a thing as a piece of software where they could reliably indicate whether something is a Photoshop I don't know if that's even a thing and if it is a thing I don't know if it were it was analyzed correctly after it ran through it so if somebody could tell me is there software that allows you to analyze a photo for photoshop manipulation if that exists run that photo of Kim jong-un cutting the ribbon through it and then tell me in your opinion does it look like it told you something and and and let me know if that software seems reliable I have a researcher set anyway

[31:04]

reliable I have a researcher set anyway that's just an open question
ba-ba-boom this flint investigation stuff is just blowing my mind and I don't know if you're having the same experience but I made the mistake of watching the Netflix special about Waco at about the same time that all the Flint information was coming out man you don't want to do those two things at the same time do you I mean you don't want you don't want to be watching the Waco Netflix special at the same time you're learning about the Flynn manipulations to get him to be guilty let me talk about the Waco thing first so if you're young or you just weren't following that so Waco there was a religious cult with a David Koresh said he was Messiah and he got a bunch of people to believe him and live in this compound in Waco and he

[32:07]

and live in this compound in Waco and he convinced the husband's that they should not sleep with her own wives but only he could and he was doing them a favor by having sex with all their wives while they couldn't because something something god so that's your basic setup now I recall what I heard the story he was sleeping with children and that it was a big old child sex ring but if you watch the special that's a little less clear what is clear is that there was at least one case in which he apparently married a 14 year old so yes that's bad but according to the special that was actually legal at the time in Texas with the permission of the parents which he had so in other words there was no evidence of David Koresh breaking the law in Texas at least in that specific way he had but they had a bunch of weapons which they were not using

[33:08]

of weapons which they were not using offensively or and had no plans to use them offensive ly it was just for self-defense and I think they had the answer for that but that wasn't the big problem so anyway the Waco showed the mismanagement of the FBI and the ATF and how basically they killed these people for having different lifestyles basically they basically just slaughtered a bunch of people for disagreeing with it a lifestyle but living and otherwise legal life they just didn't want to be bothered by other people now you can disagree with all that they were doing that would be perfectly fair but the definitely special did I thought a very balanced job of showing the good and bad on both sides and so if you ever thought the FBI was good and the Branch Davidians were bad that's gonna really get messed up in your mind by the time you're done watching this you can't come away from that special without thinking that the government has a lot of bad

[34:09]

that the government has a lot of bad dudes in it who do bad things now given that context I'm you know of course like all of you following this Flint and stuff and if you just follow the flim part itself it's just jaw-droppingly like you can't even believe it it doesn't feel like you could be living in a country where that could have happened in even lifetime and so I'm actually having trouble incorporating this new information about Flynn into the part of my brain which holds reality are you having that problem too and it's not as if we haven't been you know warned that this was all coming and you know yeah we saw coming from a mile away but now that it's all confirmed beyond beyond any doubt that I have yeah maybe somebody else has doubt but all of my doubt has been removed about what was happening with the Flint situation it's obvious he was just targeted for destruction but then the second part is why was it just that he was a

[35:10]

why was it just that he was a important part of the Trump administration well here's the year sort of gets interesting so ad you McCarthy writing a National Review basically makes the case that the reason Flynn was targeted for destruction is that he was he was the only one experienced enough in the new incoming Trump administration that he would have known their game and been able to he would have been able to spot the fact that there was a Kuh and a Kuh being unfolding the coup meaning removed removing the president by simply looking and looking until he found something illegal or you forced some error so in other words according to Andrew McCarthy and it's amazing that he can write this article and people simply just read it like you just read it like it was it was no big deal like you're reading about the weather it's like I'll see what injured McCarthy tree huh yeah members of the government were

[36:10]

yeah members of the government were overthrowing the legally elected president Flynn and then as a lawyer like what what how am i how am i reading this story like it's just an ordinary story these were people within the government who are literally trying to overthrow the legally elected government in my lifetime recently there's still there's still free people they're still walking around what these people are guilty of obvious treason treason something that would have destroyed the biggest country in the world in terms of you know that the credibility of US government and there's still Free People oh my god it's mind-blowing now I think Andrew McCarthy goes further than the evidence does I don't think you would claim otherwise so I don't think I'm disagreeing with you here but I disagree with the I disagree with the

[37:12]

disagree with the I disagree with the certainty of the conclusion because the certainty of the conclusion that the reason that Flynn was targeted was because he was too capable and if they got him out of the way that Trump was just a sitting duck was nothing but inexperienced people around him to protect him I can't rule that out if you said to me what Scott give me another hypothesis I would say well maybe it's just as obvious as you think it is which is they went after everybody they could get so they thought they could get flim they had something they thought they could get him on so they just what happened so it could have been they would have gone after anybody they could get because we've watched the anti truckers do exactly that if anybody shows a little bit of weakness like right now they're going after Michael Caputo because because he had some humorously offensive tweets in his past and that said they were just offensive they weren't anything else nothing with

[38:13]

they weren't anything else nothing with an ism on it you know no racism sexism you could try I mean you could try to put that stuff on his tweets but they're really not there he's just being humorously offensive you know in character be that the bad guys target anybody who's prominent in the Trump world to try to take him out by the way I'm predicting that in the next month that I'm good that's going to happen to me so here's my prediction sometime in the next 30 days I would expect to be taken down by somebody in the mainstream media or otherwise probably probably a mainstream article here's why because you noticed yesterday that the president retweeted me three times and then four of four times if you count the fact that he also retweeted a tweet that i retweeted talking about granite god felt it while he was talking about on the five so presumably people who are

[39:15]

five so presumably people who are watching the presidents and that's a lot of people probably scratched their head and said why does the president retweeting this random guy so much and at some point they're gonna say to themselves we need to take this guy out because his voice is being influential now if you remember the the 2016 election and you may remember that Bloomberg did try to take me out so Bloomberg did a piece on me and it was obvious that it was a hit piece from the start like it wasn't anything body hit piece from the way it was set up to the way it went and I mistakenly thought that I was so clever that I would answer questions in a way that would be so disarming they even though I knew it was gonna be hippies it wouldn't work out the way they wanted it to so that's what I naively thought would happen what I didn't count on is them just making stuff up taking things out of context

[40:18]

stuff up taking things out of context you know the usual stuff so there was no way for me to avoid getting hit in the hippies even though I thought it might be clever enough to avoid it now if it were a live recorded interview nobody's going to touch me in a live recorded interview here's another prediction nobody on the mainstream media will have me on to any kind of show between now and Election Day in a live unedited interview do you know why I'm too good at it and too good at it they're not going to have beyond so it's the same reason as Steve Cortez got kicked off of SIA that he didn't get kicked off of see you know because he didn't do a good job he got kicked off as he hadn't because he was a little too good not a little too good he was way too good because he's really good at communicating so when Steve Cortez what

[41:20]

communicating so when Steve Cortez what would make the case for the president CNN would be waiting for all the stupid parts because they you know they try to they try to get the worst the worst representative of the other side somebody who's not good at it so that yeah their case looks stronger and then Cortes will go on there and he'll just slay perfectly reasonable fact-based shows his work and they'll just be like maybe you should be on see event anymore so they they basically just didn't let him on anymore so that's my prediction there are some people who were good enough at communicating that the mainstream media just won't have them on live but I do predict that they will try to entrap me or maybe not even interview me in which they'll take a bunch of stuff in a context and they'll dig up things that are fake news from the past and they'll put together a little package to show that nobody should listen to me because all those bad things I may or may not have done so that's my

[42:21]

may not have done so that's my prediction that I'm probably in the crosshairs by now anyway so Andrew McCarthy thinks that getting rid of Flynn was all part of the bigger plan to clear the way to get rid of Trump do I buy that hypothesis that theory and the answer is yes yes meaning certainly that had to be part of it I would say I would say it's fairly safe to say that at least a little bit of their thinking was if you get rid of capable people around the president yeah you can you can kind of Whittle from the outside until you get that seems fair but I don't know if it's the whole story so here's the question I would raise everything Andrew McCarthy said sounds reasonable to me all the pieces fit together is shocking but probably true or at least true directionally I just feel like there's more to it feels like

[43:21]

feel like there's more to it feels like there's a little extra context missing maybe someday we'll have it who knows I saw a lawyer slash artist I looked at his profile so I know he's a lawyer who fancies himself an artist his name is not important but he made this tweet he said talking about Joe Biden and under the hashtag hashtag go Joe people were saying good things about Biden and I was having a good time reading how weak the compliments are for Biden now think about the things that Trump supporters have said about Trump they're like so off the hook complimentary I mean to the point where it looks like people are in a cult that when people praise President Trump it sounds almost ridiculous it's so complimentary and here's somebody who's complimenting Joe Biden see if it raises rises to the same level

[44:22]

see if it raises rises to the same level of compliment quote I love his compassion his integrity and the fact that he stands against rather than praises Nazis so this is the best thing that somebody could say about Joe Biden three things compassion integrity and he stands against Nazis instead of praising them now of course that third thing never happened right that's based on the fine people hoaxes so what are the three things is based on the most debunked of fake news in the world all right so one of the things in favor of Joe Biden is that he didn't do something that the president also didn't do in fact nobody did it was just fake notes so forget about the one who's fake news but he's got these other two good points that Joe's got compassion and integrity and I tweeted back if you know basically if that's the best you could do is compassion and there's integrity I

[45:23]

do is compassion and there's integrity I tweeted back that that's the same qualities than my dog Snickers has but I disagree with Snickers on policy in other words is the best qualities you could come up with for why you like Joe Biden are words that you might use to describe your own dog I don't know that there's a lot of enthusiasm there right
not a lot of enthusiasm there so I would look for that now apparently the polls are still showing Joe Biden leading by a commanding amount and there's something interesting going on the Republicans are saying don't worry about it the polls are fake but experts are saying don't be so quick to judge these polls as fake because they're so consistent they've been consistent for a long time and they're consistent across polls and it looks like Joe Biden has a clear path

[46:24]

it looks like Joe Biden has a clear path to the White House unless I'm just gonna throw this out there unless Republicans lied to pollsters and you know they do now I don't know if they lie so much that it can close the six point gap I don't know that 2020 will be like 2016 and that the pollsters will be surprised on the final day maybe it could definitely be different this year but try to understand why why in the world would Biden and there's really there's just nothing there it like he said he's a bag of dust lying in the corner of your garage and he is leaving the president who's got you know actually really good job performance according to his party the people who voted for him so somebody says you caught us I think

[47:28]

so somebody says you caught us I think there might actually be a difference in how a Republicans answer the polls but here's the counterpoint apparently the 2018 midterms people also thought the polls were wrong because if you ask people they say I and the polls are wrong Republicans are gonna do well in the midterms that's what people thought but the polls were right so in the midterm the polls were right would they be so wrong yeah yeah so it could be the Trump breaks all the rules so that polls about Trump are unusually imperfect I think that's that's very possible all right where is the slaughter meter slaughter meter is at 200 percent assuming that Biden is the actual eventual candidate on election day if if Joe Biden is is the candidate on election day President Ron

[48:29]

election day President Ron I don't know how we could lose really it is hard for me to envision that the two of them could go toe-to-toe and that Joe Biden would be the one who's left and I can't even I can't even picture it yeah that's true they did the Republicans do better than the Senate's somebody says in the in the comments but we were taught it was the house that people predicted the Republicans would do Penner not just midterms show hasn't shown his face well maybe it's because Joe Biden keeps merging with that that ventriloquist puppet Walter have you ever seen that puppet who is the famous ventriloquist always works Vegas he's got a puppet of an old guy who's got a permantly down downturned mouth oh yes ah my mouth is probably I'm tired

[49:30]

oh yes ah my mouth is probably I'm tired like Joe Biden Joe Biden's mouth is probably downturn when he's just that rest he looks like the saddest on the happiest guy what is permanently downturned mouth do you think we can elect a guy with a permanently frowny mouth I don't think so somebody says the 2018 polls said there was going to be a big blue wave yes that is what I'm saying as well so let me say clearer in case I was unclear when people were asked who they thought would win Republicans thought that they would do well even though the polls said they would not so the polls were accurate but the people who were asked if the polls would be accurate and said no they won't be accurate but they were I hope that's clear somebody says Camilla as VP wouldn't change the dynamics well yeah I mean whoever the vice president is will change the dynamics of course course it

[50:32]

change the dynamics of course course it will Jeff Dunham yes Jeff Dunham is the eventual interest with Walter the dummy
thank you for that all right so that is all I have for today it's more than enough more than enough to take you into the greatest ah the greatest day all weekend one of the best I think I think you're gonna go forth and have a good good day today let's wait for more good news coming out I'm waiting for more and more great things to happen and you should hear some of them today maybe tomorrow and I'll talk to you tonight you don't
