This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
Days and everybody knows that,
Mr President, I know youre
going to get on air force, one
youre flying out to Ohio today,
youre going to address the
fought for the american worker
ever since the pandemic started
and the economy crateredded the
Federal reserve. You know
looking forward, they were a
little pessimistic, but a couple
of days ago the Federal Reserve
actually was quite optimistic.
In fact, they talked about how
right now were in a situation
where we have three million more
jobs than they thought we would,
at this stage of the game,
thats right,
Steve and six hundred dollars billion more
economic activity over and above
what they expected just three
months ago.
So while we are still suffering
from the pandemic, there is some
light at the end of the tunnel.
So were rounding the corner
with or White House a vaccine,
they a hate it when I say it,
but thats the way it is
were rounding the corner on the
pandemic
and weve done a phenomenal job,
not just a good job
other than public relations, but
thats, because I have fake news,
you cant convince them of
anything
theyre a fake,
but we have done on public
relations. I give myself a d
on the job itself. We take an
awith, the ventilators and now
with the vaccines that are years
ahead of schedule.
If Biden who ran the swine flu,
he was the swine flu, its the
H1N1, which he reverses. He calls
it the N1H1, because he doesnt
have a good memory, but if Biden
on the swine flu, if he ran this
like he did, the swine flu from
2, 3 million people would have
died.
The swine flu that he ran was a
disaster
and the person who ran it, who I
think youve had on your show,
admitted that they didnt know
what they were doing.
Maybe he was honest.
It was a total disaster,
a much less lethal situation in
terms of the flu itself.
That was the flu.
This is a virus,
but it was a much less lethal
situation, but it was handled so
badly.
They lost thousands and
thousands of people
and they agreed that they
handled it badly.
Now hes telling us how to
handle this,
and we dont need his advice.
We really dont want his advice,
laughter
wed like them, to be honest
because its good for the
country, you know be honest.
For instance, everybody wanted a
vaccine, they wanted it so
badly
once they realized im getting
it very soon within a matter of
week, once they said oh hes
getting it, then they started
hating the concept of having the
vaccine
thats so bad for our country,
its doing really well
Pfizer and other companies.
Actually we have three that are
really doing really well
Steve. Mr President, you just
said weeks:
how close are we
well? I would say that youll
have it long before the end of
the year, maybe maybe by the
end of October
Brian, what company,
which one is closest
well pfizers doing really.
Well,
I tell you pfizers doing
really well.
Johnson AMP Johnson has an
incredible vaccine. Thats doing
well, thatll, probably be a
little later
Modernas doing very well.
