Positive for Covid 19,
the White House saying its an
abundance of caution
joining us on how this impacts, the twenty twenty race,
an ideal team or convenient
an ideal team or convenient
team for anybody to get a
positive covid result.
You know Walter Reed. Well,
you know the office that exists
for a president,
your thoughts overall and the
campaign, and maybe on the media
mob. Like the New York Times
yeah,
the White House is smart to
adopt a transparent attitude
as soon as they knew, which was
apparently late. Last night, they
let people know in a
presidential tweet
mark meadows went out to brief.
That was very good,
speaks of an attitude that were
going to be transparent about
this and tell you everything we
know:
thats good,
moving. The president to Walter
Reed is a very good move.
Theres a medical unit in the
Eisenhower Executive Office,
building
its the big sort of ornate
building directly west of the
White House,
theres a medical unit there
its not designed to constantly
monitor.
So why not move the president to
the Walter Reed Hospital, where
theres a suite for the
president and where there are
skilled technicians that can
monitor him around the clock and
out of an abundance of caution
smart to do.
I also thought interesting
enough to the presidents
remarks. I thought they were
very good and very smart to do
the american people want to hear
from him.
They want to see him.
He said I think, im doing good you had a sense of I have a
ignpa will have to
Ignpa will have to
end it
in a way its sort of weird but
may work to his advantage that,
rather than going giving a
speech to ten thousand people and
saying something that the press
picks up on and runs with now,
he can very carefully the next
few days style his message and
send it out there by tweet or
calling in to a program like
yours or by calling in to fox
and friends or by maybe doing a
town hall,
now gives him a chance to be
very focused and discipline in
his message. The next few weeks,
people understand, if hes not
out on the campaign trail
lets talk about the
treatment of the media. The mob
youve been following this
more particularly the New York
Times.
You had harsh comments to say
earlier,
I was taken aback.
We want our newspapers to be
things that are sharing
information and the facts
describing things
this wasnt a news story by
journalists that I have a
respect for, but their editor did
something wrong.
If hes sick, referring to the
president or becomes ill, it
could raise questions about
whether he should remain on the
ballot.
Really,
the guy is going in out of an
abundance of caution to be
checked out.
Hes got mild symptoms,
his wife is seemingly doing even
better than he is
were already raising questions,
whether he should remain on the
ballot. Thirty two days from the
election.
This was not a news story,
its an opinion piece or maybe a
journalist, hoping against hope
that he might disappear from the
ballot if they wrote about it.
