Less then, an hour from the first presidential debate of twenty twenty taking place in Cleveland Ohio. Earlier this month, Joe Biden claimed that Donald Trump, the sitting president, is responsible for every single death in the United States, caused by coronavirus Biden looked at the data, the fact checkers confirmed it, so he went with it of the president had done his job done his job from the beginning. All the people would still be alive im not making this up. Look at the data im, not making this up Joe Biden said to we know coronavirus will play a role in the debate tonight. Of course, what will they say about it? Alex Berenson is the author of unreported truths about Covid 19 and the lockdown come apart. Two we are happy to have him on tonight. Im wondering what you think if you were Donald Trump and I have
no idea what your political views are but lets say you were advising the president tonight. What would you tell him to say? Donald Trump has never been able to make this case, but what Joe Biden has said is clearly untrue. All over Europe, whatever strategy they pursued theyve had roughly the same death rate as the United States. If I were Donald Trump, I would say we can be sweet and or we can be, Spain, Sweden, didnt lock down. They got through this. They have almost no new cases. Now, even the New York Times today, just posted a story about how well Sweden is doing- or we can be Spain, Spain, locked down early, they lock down hard, they had terrible unemployment, they had more deaths than Sweden and more deaths than the United States per capita and guess what, after one of the hardest lockdowns in the world, a lockdown that cost our economy to contract by twenty three percent in the first and second quarters combined, basically the worst performance anywhere in the world now
theyve unlocked and because they didnt allow the epidemic to take its natural course. They are having a second epidemic right now. By the way, Spain today had more per capita deaths than the United States. Forget Sweden, more per capita deaths than the United States, its not even close, and there was a riot well say, a violent protest. Last night about an effort to impose a second lockdown, which they really dont even want to do, but they are afraid they are going to have to do in parts of Madrid and people are so blown out by whats happening to the economy there that they dont want it. If I were Donald Trump, I would say you go ahead and be Spain. You listen to Dr Fauci and impose another lockdown if thats, what you want and impose a whole bunch of stuff, thats never been proven to do anything im going to go with Sweden im going to go with Arizona and Florida im going to let people live their lives. Americans trust their health care system to take care of them to get sick thats. What happened in the sun belt this year and guess what
and a lot of the sun belt people are back to living their lives. The unemployment rate in a state like Georgia is less than half of the unemployment rate in a state like New York. Right now Eve seen the governor of Florida almost make that case out loud Florida took a huge amount of grief. As you know, for the past several months, and now the governor is saying we did the right thing by not getting hysterical, hysterical, thats right. What I call team reality the what I call team reality. The people who understand the data and have looked at this for the last six months need to push back and they need to schools need to reopen they open all over the world. Why arent they open here lockdowns were never proven to do anything effective, except possibly delay the spread here. Why would we consider that again? Lets forget masks. Lets, take masks off the table right now, no lockdowns, ever again, no school closings. We are going to get our kids back to school if youre rich, your kid is getting education right now,.
