The David dragged Shout David Cameron died guarded come from my very sunny and beautiful Aruba now I'm kidding it's a pandemic. I don't leave Massachusetts right now, but there is a lot to talk about last week. I did a story com. Old. We owe the world an apology and an explanation and that store

was really focused on having to sort of make good with the world for the fact that more than sixty million Americans voted for Donald Trump and twenty sixteen and in so doing unleashed absolutely unconscionable destruction upon the world that was last week and the focus was mostly the micro while touching on some of the big areas where the United States has been really. Drag on the world under Donald Trump, so we talked about climate change. Of course we talked about. Naturally, how could I not mention are disastrous, responds to carogne. Virus, but there is an entire sort of other story to tell about the United States under Trump, which is less about Trump per se, and more about the way in which our status quo has been exposed as dangerously agile in so many ways, which is something that even people who are not necessarily trumpets have been

sometimes hesitant to really consider as seriously as as we should, and, of course, the virus itself has exe. Who is the latter fragility? A lot of jobs that seemed rock solid were not really robs. Rock solid in entire industries, quite frankly, were not as solid as we thought of our supply chains. We figured out very quickly are very fragile, the medical system, of course, you spoke to think about, but there's a way more sort of pernicious fragility that has been exposed, including, for example, our alliances with other countries around the world This is not correct The virus specifically now this is what I call a sort of Trump fragility allies that we felt were rock star our primary important allies were very quickly as soon as the United States was challenged An end was no longer a reliable, predictable partner and instead we

became the sort of erratic counterproductive fiasco, many of our allies abandoned us now they didn't do it in a way where they would now be considered adversary, certainly not, but to different degrees and in their own ways we saw what we thought were very. Solid alliances be exposed is extremely fragile, very quickly. Germany, France and Canada, for example, realized we can't deal with Trump like an adult were actually better off without the american President in the room at all. When we're having certain conversations, that's embarrassing and that's bad for us long term now, I don't necessarily wanna go directly into a sort of geopolitics, game theory type of analysis, but it is kind of hard to avoid when you look at what's going on around the world, because when you look at the superpowers of the world, you s, Russia and China. And you think about the last four years. It's not looking particularly good for the United States. This may

be your top priority. But if you concede that the most likely super power in the world is likely to be either the you China or Russia for some time, a United States, that's increase, only isolated and losing allies is bad. It's bad for Americans, as China gains leverage in the increasingly failed trade war that Donald Trump has been waging against them, as Russia continues to benefit from the disease validation and the lack of credibility of american democracy partially at their own doing. Of course, we suffer. There is a very good article in rolling stone from this. Gun by way Davis called the unravelling of America, and it focuses on this debasement of America in the context of corona virus. The article is great

but almost every argument that way Davis Makes- and he makes the arguments well with respect to corona virus. We could actually apply in the United States more broadly I'll. Give you an example: David, says in this article, which you should read in its entirety: the America in handling of corona virus, has called into question the idea of american exceptionalism. I would go further. Our failed responds to corona virus has. Confirmed that the idea of american exceptionalism was but a shy. Any bandaid covering up serious injuries. It exposed many of the cultural. Failings that corona virus has made clear the lack of our ability to really come together as the country to do. It just needs to be done even if it's difficult for the betterment of humanity. The financial fragility has been exposed, Wade Dave,

his article reminds us that almost every empire has fallen. The ends of empires are rarely anticipated and they got take a while, but Don't notice that the failing empire is failing until you look back later. It's the United States this time that needs the world's help, as Jim Just about every other country has better dealt with corona virus than we have. So what is it that hurt us? Yet? You know, of course, trumps response was a disaster, but there there's more. There is really cultural problems, Is it too much individualism and the United States? Is it a lack of education or of good enough education? Delusions of grandeur? All of the above? We are probably some component of all of those. So I encourage you to check out the peace and rolling stone and if we stepped back for a moment from the sort of day to day of the Trump Administration, what has become clear

that, beyond Donald Trump himself, this type of way of running the country is not going to allow us to solve the big problems that were facing so in no particular order step back from corona virus a little bit, if you think about climate change, you think about getting everybody health care, if you think about ending optional poverty and hunger, which are optional right now I mean it is we ve just not decided to fix them, but hunger and homelessness are optional at this point in time, creating government that is not crony. A stick and corrupt big big things. None those problems, are going to even be seriously explored from the standpoint of solutions under administration, like the one we have it's not just the day to day pedestrians, xenophobia, that's an afterthought. But it's the pseudo intellectualism, the anti intellectual, isn't a hyper nationalism, the intellectual isolationism! That's when you look at

how every other country realises this is a time to trust science and doctors, and we are isolated, intellectually or anti. Intellectually, where you have people thing Fouche in Bill gates are the enemies here that not suited for the twenty first century and beyond, and its hurting us now visibly with corona virus, but more about the list of problems we won't be able to solve. If this is how the United States operate. More broadly, now I know many of you will say. Well, ok, sixty three million people voted for this administration. Sixty five sixty six voted against it for Hillary Clinton that this is not a the electoral politics? This is about a realisation of what is the path forward for humans with something that is very antiquated and by the way, when I say antiquated, I'm more than willing to entertain the argument that in times past this type of mentality made more sense. I am sensitive to the

theater that an early humanity, many of the traits that now our problem were adaptive from an evolutionary standpoint favor. These ideas of hyper masculine. Alpha mail physical violence individualism for yourself for your small group isolationism, there was time in human history, where that made sense and that with a totally reasonable thing to think about, but it doesn't make sense now and the people sticking to those are two years. Diaz are quite literally stuck in the past when we say conservatism. What we're talking about is trying to conserve away of life from the past, merely because it's what we to do, even if it doesn't make any sense now or in the future, and that's exactly where we are today. A lot to think about when you bring it back to well, were less than three months from an important ally listen, and today I am going to be outlining some of the big differences between the options that we have in November. Differences that may be are not the ones that are getting the most attention. So we haven't checking

for a little bit about what's going on with corona virus, so I want to spend a little time today. It's been a weekend, we have another several these of data. We now have more averages and trends to look at and I want to go a little deeper than just cases in deaths, but let's start there. As of this morning, the United States had more than five point to me in confirmed, corona virus cases and just shy of a hundred and sixty six thousand That's no remember that in terms of deaths, Donald Trump Said- through April and may first he said. Fifteen cases will see be zero, that didn't work out in April Donald Trump said. While we could end up with fifty or sixty thousand deaths, then it became clear in its gonna. Be more trump move the goalposts find, eighty thousand and ninety a hundred thousand. Now it's about keeping it under two hundred thousand now the official death toll at one hundred and sixty six later in the show, I'm going to talk to you about the actual

toll now, really is probably more like to twenty five because of the uncounted corona virus deaths. Let me not get ahead of myself will get to that a little bit later, but ok that were officially at a hundred and sixty six thousand now in terms of cases per capita states now at the top of the list, are Louisiana Arizona, Florida, New York, Mississippi, New Jersey, Alabama Georgia, South Carolina Rhode, Island and Nevada, and what you're, seeing as that would early in terms of per capita cases, were exclude sadly, these blue state hot spots, as a result of which states have the direct flights to the source contagion regions, there has been a shift to read states not just in the total number of cases, but in cases per capita, because now it about policy early, it was about who had the bad luck or timing.

But I guess I would call it to before. We really knew about the virus have a lot of direct flights to China and the source countries in Europe like ITALY, and it was in a Boston, New York, New Jersey area Chicago will annoy the California Airports Rhode Island. Virtue of being very close to Boston also was hit very hard now it's about whose testing. Who has guidelines where people wearing masks etc. So now it's about policy cases of course depend on tests and how much testing we're doing and, as we know, is I told you last week, floored and California. Examples were under reporting cases for different reasons: Florida because of the Hurricane California, for still some

known reason. So when you look at one of these examples, let's look at, for example, Florida because of the decreased testing in Florida. Florida cases started declining in late July, except we know why they aren't testing as much because the hurricane, but if you look instead of cases at hospitalizations during the last week, Florida had a record for single week. New hospital is nations for virus just over thirty, three hundred, that's more than five hundred new hospitalizations per day, including so hundred and twenty one hospitalizations in Florida last Wednesday. That's not what you, to see and it's another signal of how you can affect cases by not testing by changing reporting. Hospitalizations are a really important indicator now, meanwhile, for political reasons, Donald Trump is talking about

The country now is seeing a resurgence and the reason Trump is doing. This is, if he can point to. Spain is having a wave to ITALY's having a wave too. I guess he thinks it makes the United States response look less bad, but If you really important things to think about, as we look at some european countries see number start to climb again. First of all, we ve been expecting a second wave since March. This was what doctors thought would happen decrease in the summer. Back up as we approach fall in the: U S, we never even have the gap, because when we got down to twenty thousand cases per day, most states started reopening which is crazy. Now to the other piece. Yes, if you look at some european countries now, like Spain, they are seeing a resurgence in case but there immediately putting the guidelines back in place and people are mostly following them. So when the president points to we're doing fine, because there are second waves in europe- well, first Ray

action as we knew unexpected all along that there would be a second wave in the. U S, we ve been so acutely terrible that we didn't even get a break from way one to waive too, and we are now approaching the fall ourselves. Secondly, the other countries see the rise and they put the guidelines back in place. Paris is now ramping back up masking rules and putting measures back in place. Trump points to Spain and France to justify not having taken seriously, but the problem with his logic is they didn't take it seriously and immediately are starting to right away. It's completely incoherent, but it's where we are today and all we can do is deal with it.

Let me ask you a question do you think is the real corona virus death toll? It appears. It could be more than fifty four thousand deaths higher than the official death toll and I'm going to explain how the CDC Data points us to that conclusion in a second but at least to start theoretically, anytime. You have something as big as a pandemic which in fact more than Five million people in the United States were five point. Two million official cases to country of me.

And three hundred and thirty million people people die every day. Four corona virus and other reasons there are com or there are other factors it's going. To be unlikely that the official death toll is exam Thirdly, what the real death toll is for the virus. Now on the one side there a conspiracy theories from the right that are about deception in politics, where they say the real death toll is much lower. It's not a hundred and sixty six thousand, it's much smaller. They claim. This is not me. This is the argument. Some on the right make a lot of deaths are being how did this corona virus in there really not an delta, about someone died in a car crash and a hostile counted. It is corona virus because get more money that way or whatever or Democrats or lying and blowing up the death rate in order to make political above points or whatever the case may be now. You should be skeptical of that theory and indeed There's no evidence for that theory other than if you want to be anecdotal, there might be case

This is where it's not a car accident, but with an infection caused by a co, morbidity and an elderly person who had the corona virus- and maybe there's like some debate is too. Should this shouldn't discount the corona virus death, but the these. Small numbers of situations in a country with five point: two million infections bound to have some anecdotes like that, but on the other side, theirs, much more compelling reason to think the real corona virus death toll is drama. We higher than the official, and it is something called access deaths. The number of extra deaths during the March to July period suggests that more than fifty four thousand additional people have died of corona virus. Above and beyond the official death toll this derived when you look at access debts and in the United States, because we have some

the people, and so many years of data and such detailed statistics about disease we know how many people, on average will die of all causes based on our population, based on what is called the normal amount of death, We know. Okay, if you add up expected car accident deaths, cancer deaths, heart disease, free Altogether? We know when you don't have a pandemic, how many people typically die and if you look at the deaths, we would expect from March fifteenth to July twenty fifth, You see that during those dates there were almost two hundred one thousand access deaths deaths beyond What we would normally have enduring time the official corona virus death toll I was only a hundred and forty seven thousand that leaves about fifty four thousand extra deaths not officially attributed corona virus now epidemiologists favour looking at access debts

to gauge the impact of a pandemic, because access deaths dont depend on lasting people in knowing exactly who had the virus. Posthumous testing testing. When someone goes into the hospital etc and indeed, when you look at access deaths, everything tracks consistently with this theory if you look at where the access deaths disproportionately are it's in the states hardest hit by corona virus additive is very coherent story that excess death analysis points us do so. All likelihood the real corona virus. That's all right now is at least fifty fourth and that's higher than the original one in its even more because that was March fifteen July, twenty five in the two weeks since July. Twenty five- had a resurgence in deaths and in all likelihood there are more uncounted deaths during that period. So what is the light Lee real corona virus. That's all remember official is one sixty six, its proper

play somewhere around two hundred and twenty five to two hundred and thirty five and rapidly approaching two hundred and fifty thousand deaths. We are going to have to accept that thought is much higher than many think what The pandemic is so widespread when tests are still today taking five to seven days or longer, to come back with results. We know we aren't capturing all the cases and therefore it follows were not capturing all the deaths. Either we later will have to see what is the long term impact on the lungs on the heart on other CIS, from having in recovering from Verona virus, because you could have a situation where you down the line. There are premature deaths caused by damage done to though organs by corona virus, we don't know extent of that, yet that's something the matter community is looking at. Any deaths are tragic, we

have many unnecessary deaths due to the failed trump response, but we also just have to face the reality that by now, we probably somewhere between fifty five and sixty thousand deaths that are not in the official death count which or due to corona virus, which gets us to what have in November and how is the right trying to get them. Selves reelected, despite Donald Rumsfeld response. Let's talk about that next, we started to predict this months ago when it became clear that both by mail or as I am now calling it absentee by male voting, would be a. Dividing line in the upcoming presidential election also don't forget, it will be a big. He'll in the Senate, maybe remaining in republican control, may be going to democratic control. They are going. Be trying to stop vote by mail and stop absentee voting

not even trying to hide it. I already told you that Donald Trump put a donor of his named Louis, the joy in charge of the Post office postmaster general. We suspected that d joy would try to hurt the post offices ability to deal for male. The joy has already limited overtime for male carrier, which is causing mail to pile up at post offices across the country. More cutbacks are now being done. Asked, but now the big breaking news is that the joy has signed or fired more than two dozen top postal officials spaces Thickly two people have been removed. Twenty three have been reassigned. Anyone whose priorities are delivered. The male is being moved, and instead the joy seems to be sort of centralizing, his power, consolidating the higher echelons of the postal service with people that are friendly to his troop pro from priorities, and this

the mail that we're talking about. Ladies and gentlemen, if I had told you a year ago, the twenty twenty press actual action could come down, neither the economy not to I'll drums foreign policy. It could come down to whether a Trump donor succeeds. It need capping and crippling the post office. I dont think any of us would have believed that that was a likely scenario. The scenario today, and this is all having an immediate effect. There are already many reports come from around the country about mail, delivery being slowed down and degraded. There are reports of male care. Years having to sort male themselves, something that's usually done for them. When they arrive in the ready to take out there may for the date would already be sorted their having to sort it themselves. Slow, them down even more. There are reports of men, El bins that should have been delivered already sitting at post offices on sordid and undelivered, and the sickest thing of all is the backwards. Logic of everything Trump claimed that if there were too many absentee ballots the post office.

Couldn't handle the volume of mail. The post office said we can handle it just fine unless you kneecap the poster which is exactly what they're doing they are making it so that the Post office will now be able to handle even the normal male delay we work it's like a Trojan horse. You don't have to be. I hope you don't have to be in from to realise how evil this is it right I mean, will approach trump, What will the protests from people in my audience? I know you there will you come forward and say this is plain dirty. This is anti democratic. This has to be stopped. It's completely indefensible and this it. If they talk about election fraud, this should be called election fraud. So what can we do? Why We continue to sound the alarm on this and demand that the joy be trotted back to Congress. To answer questions we After just vote early early early or decide, we feel safe enough to vote in person depending on where you live. You with

weeks will be able to make a boat by mail if it gets the laid five days because of these key it'll, still get there in plenty of time. If you live the state where you can believe reasonably that you won't have to and ours in line with mass cliffs people trying to vote, maybe you decide, will all vote in person to ensure my vote is counted in some places. You will be waiting in line four hours with people without masks, and maybe you don't want to do that, and it makes sense to just vote by mail as early as you can all of these people or by design, we can't let them when at all, but certainly can't let them when, like this, anyone who does not have a problem with this is complicit in the eradication of democracy, in this case being done through the proxy of the. U S, still service trump is realising the racist, too uncertain unless he rig As I said last week, Trump might be able to win fair and square, although unlikely that he would win the popular vote he might be

What who, in the electoral college, fair and square, maybe but it's too close to risky and so there pulling out all the stops. This is also by the way part of a big republican plan to get rid of government agencies altogether say that the United States postal Service is not up to the job, then you can their funding to prevent them from being up to the job. Then you point two problems you cause to say you know we really should get rid of that postal services are not doing a good job, look at what they did during the twenty twenty election. We have to be on red alert because that's exactly what this is we'll have country you'd coverage of this on the David Pachmann show Instagram at David Patman, show we'll take a quick bread and be re back after this David Agnes show David Pachmann Dotcom deterrent if you ve been watching,

Welcome back to the David Pachmann, Shell, ok, this is a huge deal, so we're gonna spend some time on this Donald Trump admitted during one of his weaken press briefings from his club in bed. Minster, New Jersey, where he, gathered a crowd of supporters to cheer for him during a press briefing into boo reporters, and indeed this is completed the country's backwards right now. Ok, he said he is going to be permanently cutting funding to Social Security and Medicare. How did he say it take a look because it might not be obvious if I'm victorious number. Third, I plan to forgive these taxes and make permanent cuts to the peril tax are going to make them more permanent wait a second, did he say social security there have will what and how is this about social security? Let me explain it to you down:

from his finally admitting here that if he is reelected, he will permanently cut the employer side of the social security, the reduction from wages. This is social security is funded, this is a huge red alert. This is not getting the attention it deserves and what's crazy, is you still Have some people, including people on the left Sing Biden, will cut your social security? If he's president not something Biden has even talked about for twenty seven years since Ninety ninety three, during which he said he would preemptively take it off the table. This is Donald, from saying I am going to pay Nutley reduce the money that is the primary funding source for social security. So, let's talk earlier in the pandemic. Donald Trump started, talking about waving, the so called payroll tax for employees through the end of the year. That tax is she shared between you and your employer if you are self employed, you pay all of it, but for most people there are double.

To employ. For example, like producer Pat Pat pays seven points five percent out of his salary and then I put in another seven point: six, five percent for him at a total of fifteen point, three percent, it's mostly so the security and a little bit for Medicare. That's how we fund social Security, so Trump floats the idea: hey Pandemic Economic, Sir disaster, let's put more money in people's pockets by cutting the seven point, six five percent paid by the employer immediately the employees get to keep another seven point: six, five percent from every page a great bite the way that it was originally conceived was a deferral, meaning you get that money in your pay through the end of the year, but when you file your taxes twenty twenty one for twenty twenty? You owe that back. It was just a deferral. It gets added back in wasn't even

permanent, it's a temporary savings, and then you get a bill for it. Now It is again going for the payroll tax idea he's looking out at the executive order, which he said when Barack Obama was president, is being over use that he wouldn't do things through executive order. He do them through legislation, except he's not doing it, but he says, says: he'll, give you the peril tax deferral for now. If he's reelected, he will Wilfred give the repayment of the payroll tax. We think I mean it. No convoluted that even from has gone back and forth on some of these points, but now again. He says in the future. If he's reelected, he will just cut. The employee side altogether here. He is saying it again. If I'm victorious The third I plan to forgive these taxes and make permanent cuts to the peril tax are going to make them more permanent. I plan to forgive these taxes and make permanent but this is a shadow plan to cut social security and medic

This is a red alert, Republicans already say: Social Security, in trouble it's under funded. It won't be able to pay benefits. What do you think happens if you. But the money going in you obviously will have to cut the benefit. So now we have a dramatically different proposal from Donald Trump Verses, Joe Biden on Social security Trump, once permanent cuts to so, your security taxes, meaning he will have to lower so your security benefits, he's looking to nude or social security, a fabric of our Do you really? It's you? No other countries have much stronger social safety nets. One of the things we have one of the few things is social security. Trump wants to neuter. It Biden wants to uncap social security too. Texas, above four hundred thousand dollars. Normally you only pay payroll tax on the first hundred thirty thousand or so of earnings. That means, if you normally

earn a million dollars. You only paid the social security tax on the first hundred thirty k, above that you pay z. Ro bindings idea is you pay on the first hundred and thirty There is then, like a donut whole between one thirty and four hundred, but starting at four thousand dollars a year in income on capped. You pay, that's in point six: five percent: that's a huge increase in funding for social security versus dialed from saying he will permanently de fund. It This is a topic which is not getting huge airtime right now and we need to force it to get more attention. Hopefully it will a big part of the debates between Trump and Biden if they happen, because it is of such huge significance The vast majority of the United States just think back Trump with supply. Sadly, the economic populist, big populism, wonderful populism from Donald Trump. He is now

If you re elect him, he will neuter permanently social security and you can take to the bank the real, nation- that shortly thereafter they're going to say, hey. We gave the payroll tax? People are getting the money up front, but we're going to have to cut social security benefits as a result were no longer funding it, to the extent that we previously were don't allow this issue to be ignored. Democrats need to run hard this all the way to November, and you know that Republicans would do the exact same thing. If Democrats suggest even smaller changes to programme they believe are important. This is an attempt at a massive destruction of one of the most important programmes that exist in the United States. To even maintain financial solvency, for so many millions of Americans once they hit retirement. So continuing sort of our tour through the air salute the outrageous things that Donald Trump said during his rally, like press briefings at his own golf club over the weekend, and yes, this

reality as far as we know, and one of the things He said, and that he's been saying more and more is he's going to protect people with pre existing condition. Now you might hear that and say waited. I remember this debate from ten years ago. O care protects people with pride, existing conditions, and you would be right, one of the big com, judgment of Obamacare. That is very popular with the entire country. It's not just Democrats that, like the pre existing condition, provision is that oh boy my care made it the law that health insurance Companies can't reject you because you have a pre existing condition. They can't reject coverage of that pre existing condition. This is so popular Now Donald Trump disclaiming he's going to do it by executive order, except, of course it's already there. Check this out. It's really beyond belief. Java than extra weeks I'll be pursuing a major executive order requiring health insurance companies to cover.

All, pre, existing conditions for all customers, that's a big thing. I've always been very strongly in favour. We have to cover pre existing condition, so we will be pursuing a major executive order requiring health insurance companies to cover all pre existing condition for all of its customers. This has never been done before, but it's time the people of our country are properly represented in properly taken care of now you're not miss hearing that Trump is promising to do. Something that is already the law thanks to Obamacare, if you, I believe this trump saying this was report It is breaking news by some media outlets. It was breaking news ten years ago when the affordable characterise first signed into law. Meanwhile, trumps own ministration is suing to try mantle the affordable care act, which is what protects people with pre existing conditions that we

never seen anything like this before we really have an and part of. Why is because it who's in the White House. Part of. Why is because of who supports the sky? We ve ever seen anything like this before trumpets, saying I. Will sign and executive order to enforce the law from twenty ten, which I trying to repeal, since I be president of the United States, the provision trump ones to make law within negative order is pre existing. If you can imagine that we ve had it a decade now I actually do not think that this is Trump being stupid. This was each that was on paper in front of him right, trumped, didn't just come up with this out of thin air. He doesn't right the speeches. Obviously this is it. Calculation that he can do the same thing with the existing conditions that he's been doing with veterans choice there? I think it's been a dozen times or so that Donald Trump has said when asked him about his accomplishments from his first term. He says, veterans, Choice

now veterans choice is an Obama accomplishment from twenty fourteen and Trump has taken credit for it, a dozen maybe two dozen times. Similarly, here a coverage of pre. Existing conditions is very popular with Americans, as it should be, and Donald Trump is going to try to take credit for it to get himself reelected he's throwing we think that the wall to see what sticks. And what might help him in November plain and simple, nothing more, nothing less, and we know he will try to take credit for a corona virus vaccine. We is likely to enter emergencies sometime around the election. No thanks to Donald from we know, Trumbull try to take credit for any treatment, including ones that were tested mostly in other countries if they end up being effective to deal with corona virus and he might get away with it. That's the understanding. We can't realise Trumbull, try to take credit for this stuff and laughed and said: ah, nobody's gonna fall for that now

Sixty three million people voted for him in twenty sixteen sixty three million people already fell for it. There clearly millions of Americans who will believe that tromp cured corona virus or and a vaccine or protected pre existing conditions, because they believe in he says and that's what the next three months have to be all about. Just to overwhelm the vote to such a degree. That of these bamboozle wings and lies actually help Donald from to get reelected or they'll help him but they won't actually get him over the heart, the David

So the one other moment I want to show you from this Trump Propaganda press briefing that he did over the weekend at that at his bed Minster Golf Club goes,

simply to Donald Trump, completely thin skin and is complete inability to face any serious challenges to his lies. Now, if you watch the Jonathan Swan Axioms interview recently, you already know that Donald Trump completely implodes, when subjected, even the most minor fact checking, but in the interview with Jonathan Swan here, really able to do what he did when CBS Paula, Reed confronted him. Now, as I told you in the last segment, Donald Trump has been regularly taken credit for Barack Obama's policy veterans. Choice Obama signed it into line twenty fourteen trump regularly takes credit for it as if it something that he did well see me, news is Paulo, Reed was not having it and she called him out, and you will see how held from reacted about being confronted about such such an obvious and over lie? He does not take it well. Take a look,

Not only has veterans toy passed in twenty years, a false statements, Sir very much everybody. Thank you. So trumped just walks off abruptly this is how fragile authoritarian dictators behave. They pretend to be out and powerful and then, when the wild claims are subjected to scrutiny, they abort the situation essentially now in some places, though, also have the journalist killed. I don't expect that to him in Nepal, a red but Trump shrinks like a fright. Internal and receives into its shell. This persona big power and strength very quick. Falls apart when you confront him and make him face,

obvious lies- and in this case Donald Trump just walks off now. It also shouldn't be ignored that the entire set up for this, with the crowd of Bob goers, cheering tromp and booing the media. It scaling up yet another level. The degree of sick, a fancy, that's struck around Donald Trump all the time, but I actually think that this is something reporters should use to their advantage. We ve now seen from Ben Press conferences multiple times when a reporter is allowed other reporters to follow up and what trump counts on is that one, he's done with reporter number one, even if they try to follow up. So even if she tries to follow up. Usually this tends to happen with women. He'll go to the next reporter and the next group. There is often so desperate to ask their question that they just immediately launch in, but when it doesn't happen, When a reporter says no, no, you can follow up its often led to the end of it

Ass briefing. I remember this happened to CBS. Is radio Giang HU was, I believe, Caitlin Collins from CNN allowed wage here to follow up about something did to China that Trump said to her and she's chinese American and it didn't go well. This happened to Caitlin once when she was allowed to follow up by another reporter and Trump tried to move on, ended up baling on the press, briefing it's happened several times and again this weekend and reporters should really make an implicit agreement with themselves. Let's allow each other to follow up even when Donald Trump tries to call on the next person and then he's gonna end up baling altogether, even more than he does, but when he is confronted by facts, he frequently runs away Yet many of the sixty three million supporters from twenty sixteen still see us

wrong, alpha mail there and seeing this actually makes me curious about trumps interesting debating he had to debate and twenty sixteen. There was no way in twenty sixteen as the challenge as the non incumbent to say. Are going to debate Hillary Clinton, I dont think you could have got away with it but now Donald from clearly does not want counter points here. Want a scenario in which he could be called out about his lies or fact check to any degree. My expectation is that if Donald Trump does debate, his team will work very hard to keep the rebuttal short and to put in place all sorts of rules that will favour Trump, including no fact, checking by the moderators, and If not, I would not be surprised He him find a reason out of the debate. The most likely scenario is he will get what he wants. In the debates will happen, a try second, comic, adviser, Larry, cod, low, was visibly confused. And sounded off when it

the two simple arithmetic on CNN yesterday. I think you'll find this disturbing because it is wild confusion about basic numbers, combined with a view We are delivery from Larry COD, which will talk about in a moment now. The set up is that there has been a debate about what is the next stimulus package going to include. When is the next Emulous package going to happen? What's the unemployment peace and how does it all fit together? Larry cud low puts together word salad, where it's not even clear. He knows the numbers, he certainly can express them, but it's not even clear. He knows what the numbers are seeing down. Abashed tries to figure out what the hell is. Larry cod low talking about. She can't do it. Cod low is confused and it all falls apart,

today. So when nobody for one or two tracks, I dont want to be as specific as you might hold me too, as you should, but I think it's gonna be in a couple of weeks and I think it's gonna come to about. Twelve hundred dollars per person. That's a hue. You can arrange for our companies and are you talking about in a dish into the unemployment that there already getting, something they wrote that two arms- I beg your pardon, the twelve hundred dollars- will come from the pay all tax that we're gonna get out of matters, because this is a lotta not resume its low can do the attacks in a minute guided should be eight hundred bucks. I beg your pardon. It should be eight hundred bucks for the army. Eight hundred or four hundred large should before

It should be eight hundred dollars and if the states step up, we are prepared to match that should be come out. Four hundred dollars federal four hundred dollars, states. Ok, what will move on, because I think this is that's not the president said, and it's a big, confusing, and I think the fact that its not entirely known as very telling twelve hundred per person, payroll tax deferral, wait, no stimulus, actually, It should be eight hundred for unemployment. No, it were prepared to match four hundred federal and four hundred state but were matching wait, but what does that even mean your matching? Four hundred federal? There is really no. Federal to match its all state when it comes to unemployment and then the federal man or enhancement is upstate unemployment. Insurance. If you think I sound confused. Yes, because it's this insane what Larry COD lowest saying he sang theirs state match and a federal match, what what is it even mean and yet again

that's just white flags, she surrenders, and she says, let's move on. This is totally confusing it's not what Donald Trump is saying now. The second layer is that not only is Larry COD low, presenting this in a completely impossible to understand way. It also seems to be completely different from what the Trump. What Donald Trump himself has said, and when we talk about this matching, the feds contribute three hundred dollars. If the states out of their hundred, but I'm trying to sort out something as it's at all, clear and cod low just was slightly confused. He seems to have no idea what's going on whatsoever and it gets even worse during this interview. Here's a similar confusion about the payroll tax deferral, not a cut a deferral Larry cod low, equally confused, but the President SAD explicitly that, if gets reelection reelected. He will make the payroll tax cut permanent,

As you well know, funds. These funds go into and help pay for social Security in Medicare. The president promised on anything I'm not! I got things are no clarity and Medicare, so not exactly what we do here now. He will protect so security, and how did you that encourage payroll taxes access a name? Why not when he referred to permanent? I think what he was saying is that the deferral of the payroll thanks to the end of the year will be made permanent, it will be forgiven. The tax is not. Away the way we still. Sadly, waiter he said he would go to acting if it gets with pain pledge, but no, I think that he was referred doing away with that. I believe you

referring to doing away with the pay back of the deferral, and I think his intent here and it's and in the key out very clear that we will take any steps possible to forgive this That's what I was actually we will want to say should I just want to say that, but just add a cure. That is not. That is not what the president said at all. He said zero, later ok, send that learning sad people are waiting the executive order there there listening to, then I think I think he has done, and I think he meant the deferral would be forgiven. I think you will see that the savings on the furrow will be permanent that he's eliminating this security tax. It's a deferral that will be forgiven without doing away with the tax, but Trump said

he would do away with it if he's reelected, but that's not what Trump meant according to cut low. If you are confused and you workin used further by my explanation, good its outrageously, confusing and deceptive and this is either it's either or both you take your pick, there either all deliberately saying different things in order to sort of, let everybody take their pick and if they here one version that sounds: ok, they like it and they say I approve, or they actually dont. What the hell is going on and everybody sing something different or some combination right that that's always a possibility we need to hear. Cod low. What Trump meant. Apparently I mean cod lowest saying what the president meant. Is this absolutely outrageous and are now. I do have dimension one thing: to go back to Larry catalyst. Meaner? Here people have been emailing me saying, is cut low, drunk again during this interview

I understand why you are asking Larry, cud low does have a history of problems when it comes to alcohol consumption. That's not anything. To laugh at I don't know the answer in this case, but certainly it's not a crazy thing, to wonder about with Larry cod low, his thinking clearly seemed impaired. He was visibly confused by the arithmetic, and by what he's saying and by what he's being asked, and by what Donald Trump saddened by what Donald Trump Man, it's a We know a verbal inkblot, as I like to say. As far as the alcohol peace is concerned, I don't know I it's up to others to evaluate and judge his thinking was impaired by what is definitely a different kind. Then that I guess we will have to leave presume globally for a different day. We a voice, mail number, which you can call

really any time of day and there's people who call it at times that I tend to be asleep and that's fine and we love it that number to one nine to David P. Recently, on the bonus show, there were some comments made by producer pat which many in our audience were titillated by in. Reading about pats, Jujitsu proficiency, an Pats high wait and one of the people that was very much taken by it, was the egg man who had the following to say: I do I recently learned that Pat is six were to two hundred and two pounds and aid Jujitsu expert Damn Dave, you hire him as a producer or your bodyguard, trailer brother right. Exactly, and I think that you know in inner, in executive security, Really great thing is when you can't tell who is actually secured. Is that a staffer is that a policy person

or is that security? So yes, egg man clearly onto something and of Course pats training has all been to develop a very particular set of skills that will be useful, not intellectually, but also physically, and to keep everybody very, very safe. On the ball, this show today? I don't know how many people in the audience saw this crazy, Jim fall Well junior picture with his pants, and buttoned very strange thing. I really dont care about Jerry, Farwell Junior in any way other than the fact that he Is, or was a higher up at Liberty, university the son of one of the most vile? Now the late Jerry Fall Well SR, one of the most vile sorted evangelical hard right lunatics, who blamed: nine eleven on gay people and women having abortions, and indeed these are really vile people and the now Jerry fall well in the heat of some real problems, and we will talk about that,

Also in Georgia, a teenager took pictures of crowded in the hallways at school on the first day back was suspended for it. Ok, she pointed out how badly things are being managed in the school she pointed out that she's not safe and she was suspended. If you can imagine, this has exploded. She was interviewed and we're going to talk about how she is now actually receiving threats, and should it surprises if doktor, FAO, cheese daughters are receiving threats? Obviously a kid who exposed the lack of safety measures in Georgia. Schools, then, what's going on in Georgia, given governor camps up lack of of of adherence to the facts and empiricism. I don't think we should be surprised that she is now receiving threats and in the meantime, Amazon, which is a company that is doing very well during the pandemic, because people want to have things delivered to their homes, Amazon,
