Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 858 Scott Adams： Come Relax With Me. You Need it.

00:00:00.000 hey everybody come on in let's talk so you've probably gotten a lot of time on your hands

00:00:15.420 i don't know about you but i've picked my uh my skills my challenges you know i've told

00:00:23.580 everybody that they should come out of this with an extra skill because you have all this

00:00:28.520 opportunity to learn something you know online or some hobby you wanted to get together and

00:00:35.540 somebody's yelling at me because tucker's on you've got a dvr working out um

00:00:42.860 so i forgot what i was talking about i'm sure it was fascinating

00:00:47.880 everybody's yelling at me because tucker's on

00:00:51.200 you know you could watch this on replay or you could watch him on replay it's a

00:00:58.460 thing you know i'm having a harder time watching tucker because he's been right about everything

00:01:03.580 which normally would be a good reason to watch something but he's right about how terrible

00:01:09.960 things are and uh i find it a little overwhelming so i get i'm giving myself a a major diet from tv

00:01:19.640 news at the moment and and pundits i still love the five you know still like you know some of the

00:01:27.340 some of the shows i i think i'm gonna gonna get a smaller scare so i'll watch the ones i don't think

00:01:34.680 are gonna scare me basically as long as i can get the the news in any way that i want but i thought i'd

00:01:40.800 give you some good news now good news should not be mistaken for hey everything's going to be good

00:01:50.200 in a week i think we got a couple of tough weeks out of us but there are some really good things

00:01:55.160 sort of shaping up and bubbling up some of them i know about and i thought i would share them with you

00:02:01.380 so though i was going to mention the two skills that i decided to uh to enhance so i'm going to

00:02:07.300 still work on my studio setup i've got yet another path to go on that i think i've finally figured

00:02:13.640 out something that would give me a stable stable way to have call in uh guests and then you can't

00:02:21.300 stop me because that really is what you need in order to uh have a you know have something that a lot

00:02:28.800 of people want to watch is you have to have guests every now and then and since i live stream

00:02:33.480 i would like to live stream and have a guest and there's apparently no hardware and software in

00:02:39.980 the world that does that reliably there are lots of them that do it and you know lots of people are

00:02:45.060 using them but if you talk to them privately it's like okay privately does this work every time oh no

00:02:51.740 that's a big problem you know some it's there's always some little thing that changes and you got

00:02:55.840 to update the software anyway enough about me so i'm working on my biceps and my uh studio and by the

00:03:03.540 end of this crisis i expect a really big arms and a kick-ass studio because i can i i have the time

00:03:13.260 there's absolutely nothing would stop me from having those two things and if you haven't picked

00:03:18.060 down something that you're going to be better at well maybe it's time all right so here's some good

00:03:23.080 news um in the past two days just just think about human ingenuity so that's the context how good are

00:03:36.220 people and how good are they in an emergency and how good are they when everybody's on the same team

00:03:42.740 looking at the same problem at the same time my hypothesis has been that you ain't seen nothing

00:03:49.120 that you know there's there's going to be a long delay while we're making weapons but man are you

00:03:54.840 going to see some stuff that'll be mind-boggling and and it's starting now the mind-boggling part

00:04:01.380 is starting now here in 48 hours this is what human beings did just with ingenuity we tripled the

00:04:10.540 capacity of doctors today just today do you know how we did that mike pence announced

00:04:18.800 that the um i think it's uh health and human services is going to announce a regulation i'm not

00:04:26.180 sure what the the word is that let's say it's a regulation but it or an advisory it doesn't matter

00:04:32.560 what it is but they're going to allow doctors to practice across state lines now if you want to feel

00:04:41.460 confident about your government consider that you know that's an idea that i put up through the

00:04:49.920 pipeline you know ordinary guy sitting in in pleasanton and next thing you know it's the law

00:04:57.300 of the land and effectively it triples the capacity because there there would for every city that's

00:05:04.260 impacted there are plenty of doctors who are not yet impacted who are happy to help retired doctors

00:05:09.940 etc so in 48 hours we tripled the number of physicians who are available at least remotely

00:05:17.660 you know we still need hands-on people um in last 40 hour 48 hours humans figured out how to

00:05:25.540 quadruple the number of available ventilators without buying ventilators you know i told you about this

00:05:32.020 they there's a there's a quick little hack you can do just using stuff that's already in the in a

00:05:37.440 regular hospital so they don't have to you know go to go to orchard supply or home depot and buy

00:05:42.660 anything it's just some medical stuff that they just repurpose turn a ventilator into a four-person

00:05:48.240 ventilator now i think they they may end up staying with two but that would be a doubling

00:05:53.900 so in 48 hours and this is not counting adding doctors not counting buying new ventilators or making

00:06:01.480 them we quadruple the ventilator capacity potentially and tripled probably at least tripled this is just my

00:06:09.640 own numbers off the top of my head but something like that tripled our medical advice capacity

00:06:14.440 wow 48 hours

00:06:19.220 um our food supply coming back online we have the most robust mature you know experienced food supply

00:06:34.300 line probably in the world i would think i don't know maybe somebody maybe somebody has a better one

00:06:40.400 but i would guess we have the best one and sure enough snapping back it's snapping back

00:06:46.220 um i would say if you could put a number on this i would bet that the average person has reduced their

00:06:54.800 number of contacts you know and this is just for sizing this is not any kind of real data but from

00:07:01.380 something like 25 people a day to maybe five and most of the five are the people in your family or your

00:07:08.500 the people you're going to see anyway let me think about that putting numbers on this

00:07:12.660 you know we reduced it from probably 25 to five you know that's just numbers i'm making up but it feels

00:07:20.340 like that number of test kits we we've scaled up so that already anybody who a doctor says should get a

00:07:30.420 test can get a test pretty good now we're way short of being able to

00:07:38.440 uh massively test everybody who doesn't have symptoms so you really know what you're doing

00:07:43.200 but there's all kinds of stuff happening you know companies are going into wartime footing

00:07:51.120 the the smartest best most capable people are just spinning up factories you know i know i know more

00:07:58.780 than you do i'll be telling you more as the days go on but there's some things that i've heard that

00:08:03.820 are still still you know a little early in the incubation stage but there are some heroic

00:08:10.240 stuff happening out there you know people are stepping up like crazy so here's my guess is that

00:08:18.260 the number of test kits will you know got off to a slow start but when we start cranking these out

00:08:24.380 you know america is still pretty capable and we're going to crank in a lot of tests

00:08:30.340 and apparently there's some kind of breakthrough i don't know how hard it would be to develop it

00:08:35.420 but just i'll mention it for a something you would test at home and get a result at home i guess

00:08:40.880 um or maybe you mail it probably mail it i would guess but still you could do the test at home without

00:08:48.180 having to go somewhere now i don't know if that'll catch on or it could be scaled up as quickly as it

00:08:53.300 needs to be but you know don't count anything out at this point you can't count anything out that we

00:09:00.280 might be able to scale this up like you've never seen same with all the other supplies from from

00:09:05.540 masks to gloves to everything else i i can guarantee you that there's a lot of manufacturing muscle going

00:09:12.560 that right now a lot um the number of potential um meds that could be used to treat this that now

00:09:24.380 different countries are reporting are effective um

00:09:30.540 they report it's effective and i think they're i was trying to keep track of how many there are

00:09:38.100 and i think there are something like 10 of them now there's something like uh 10 different meds

00:09:45.880 that various countries have tried and have written up reports that say you know without the benefit of

00:09:51.780 a clinical trial they're saying basically everybody we gave this to got better and the people that

00:09:58.100 didn't get it you know not even close so i've seen at least three of the 10 that the evidence you

00:10:07.040 know just again anecdotally looks really promising and i don't know what it would take to make more of

00:10:13.540 these pills but it can't be you know it's not like the manhattan project it's it's a pill machine

00:10:18.600 operate it faster and more build another one we can make pills um

00:10:24.720 then uh what about the record we set for getting a vaccine into a trial 65 days is that did i get that

00:10:36.380 right um i may have that wrong but fact check me this but didn't we break records you you couldn't

00:10:44.200 even imagine could be broken 65 days to get a vaccine into trial and there's a whole bunch of

00:10:49.260 others that are right behind it that's amazing um

00:10:54.220 now here's a uh an interesting thing that's happening uh and we'll and i'm going to tweet around

00:11:03.180 as soon as i as soon as this is written up um i'll give you more information about it but

00:11:07.960 there does seem to be some suggestion that blood serum from recovered people gives you some immunity

00:11:14.880 and you know the other countries have experimented with that and they they thought it worked so here's

00:11:21.720 the question you know uh could you could you scale that up and i'm going to have uh at least a

00:11:28.760 a well thought out answer to that um pretty soon so people are stepping up and you'll know where

00:11:34.740 it came from when it when it happens um the new york times did a despicable hit piece on dr drew

00:11:44.300 i don't know if you saw that i don't recommend you go look for it but uh they're they're lumping him

00:11:50.580 in him in with uh you know the so-called flu deniers now here's the problem as far as i know

00:11:57.540 and you'd have to fact check me on this but i believe that dr drew has always been a hundred

00:12:03.020 percent compatible with dr fauci who are you listening to i mean if if dr drew listens to

00:12:12.120 the top expert in the country who's running the thing and his opinion you know he's changed his

00:12:17.060 opinion but also so as fauci in terms of what we should do and when right am i wrong i'm pretty sure

00:12:24.780 that fauci's opinion of what we should do and when has evolved as as the situation has evolved

00:12:32.240 my impression is that drew matched him in lockstep as evidence came out as more facts came out i think

00:12:40.280 he was perfectly compatible and am i wrong about that i feel like i've been watching them both

00:12:44.720 and i've seen i've seen no i've seen no distance between their opinion and in fact dr drew stops and

00:12:53.100 says almost every five minutes when he's talking about it you know that his north star is dr fauci's

00:12:58.460 he's known him from long before he's the best and and he just conforms to his expert opinion as soon

00:13:06.240 as it happens so i i really have a bad feeling about the new york times deciding to make political

00:13:15.840 hay into this especially a medical professional who's completely compatible with the top expert

00:13:22.900 in the field and that's kind of despicable i think i think they have some explaining to do

00:13:28.360 when this is over now again we'll do our autopsy when it's all over you know a lot of people have

00:13:35.880 some explaining but let's focus forward you know that happened can't take it back can't go back in the

00:13:41.980 past it happened so let's let's focus forward um how are you guys feeling i have to say i'll give you a

00:13:54.700 little uh roadmap of how my sort of attitude and worry has um migrated um i think i was most worried

00:14:07.120 when i wasn't sure that the president was on his game and i think we all have that feeling right

00:14:15.460 uh you know it felt like he got you know did a great job of stopping the airport travel can't take

00:14:22.520 that away from him that that just will always be one of the greatest presidential decisions of all time

00:14:27.300 probably in my opinion that will that will rank as one of the great presidential decisions no matter

00:14:34.880 what else you like or don't like about what he does here um so you can't take that away from him

00:14:40.260 but his communication was a little spotty and uh i want to correct myself and apologize to the

00:14:49.220 president for a criticism that i didn't realize i didn't understand the full context and now i do

00:14:55.780 and the criticism was that when the president tweeted in the middle of the emergency that it was a

00:15:01.480 you know blah blah it's a chinese flu or chinese virus i winced along with much of the country

00:15:10.320 because i thought okay i said you know he's doing his thing where he's being provocative and draws

00:15:17.400 attention it's productive for him he uses it you know maybe it makes the base happy etc but despite all

00:15:24.340 that it just seemed tone deaf to me it's like now now now you're gonna do that yeah i love it when

00:15:32.060 you do it in normal times i mean nobody likes it more than i do you see you see me laugh until i cry

00:15:37.360 at his tweets i mean you've seen it yourself but now now really this is the time to do that but here's

00:15:45.000 where i was dead wrong because i think some of you had the same feeling maybe dead wrong completely

00:15:50.560 wrong here's what the president did he saw the reports and by the way this is from the president

00:15:56.440 i'm not reading his mind i'm telling you what he said directly today that you know he was asked at

00:16:02.800 the press conference why did you call it the chinese flu because we're so dumb we can't do real

00:16:07.160 investigative journalism but maybe if we can trap you into saying something provocative we'll take it

00:16:12.220 out of context so why'd you call it chinese flu i believe that was exactly what they asked them

00:16:17.040 uh i think i nailed it exact wording um and the president he so who i forget who the reporter

00:16:24.900 was it's forgettable it doesn't matter it says why'd you why are you calling it the chinese flu

00:16:29.420 and the president dead serious just looks at her and he goes because it came from china now if he'd stop

00:16:37.280 there you know i might have said well you know i still this is still in the weeds i don't want to care

00:16:45.220 and then he said and then he said that a chinese diplomat and i saw this tweet myself is claiming that

00:16:56.120 the virus was spread by an american service person maybe intentionally in wuhan and the president said

00:17:04.460 that when that rumor is out there that america started the virus from that point on it's a chinese flu

00:17:13.500 i don't know if he was calling it chinese flu or chinese virus i forget but with all due respect

00:17:21.480 to the people of china let's not make this personal but if you're going to try to brand us with this

00:17:29.640 with this don't try to brand do you have children at home everybody has children at home

00:17:37.940 will turn off the sound or or ask them to leave the room there will be cursing are you ready for

00:17:49.500 that there will be cursing it's coming i gave you a warning so you only have yourself to blame

00:17:55.260 in the context of the chinese government obviously the chinese government had to approve of this

00:18:02.260 diplomat um and he was a minor diplomat but still you know he was a ambassador to some country it

00:18:09.500 doesn't matter and so he says he blames the united states for it now if you're going to try to brand

00:18:17.120 that on the united states a good time to do it would be if the president of the united states was

00:18:25.860 maybe obama president obama you know a good time to try branding us um with this would be

00:18:34.300 i don't know bill clinton president george bush george bush either george bush you know that might

00:18:43.900 have been a good play china might have been a good play to try to brand us for that but you know when 0.99

00:18:53.320 it doesn't work when the president of the united states is the best fucking brander in the whole

00:18:59.340 universe sorry china you're not gonna out brand our fucking president you're not gonna do it he branded 0.99

00:19:08.620 them like they were cattle and if he didn't catch it let me explain it when the president said it's a

00:19:17.400 chinese virus he knew fucking well that it would cause a shit storm and what do you remember about 1.00

00:19:24.060 it don't don't think what he said don't think what the question was what are you going to remember

00:19:30.780 about it it's a fucking chinese virus is what you can remember my president did that i'm proud of him 0.80

00:19:40.400 good job and what are we talking about chinese virus chinese virus chinese virus do all of you now know

00:19:49.740 that china made the dumbest move they've ever made they tried to out brand donald fucking trump 0.98

00:19:59.200 like bitches and it didn't work he just branded their ass right back to wuhan i loved it and so let me 1.00

00:20:10.200 say i apologize for criticizing my president for doing that i didn't know the context didn't know

00:20:15.940 why he did it but good move nice play and china don't fuck with us like that you know try something 0.99

00:20:23.860 else try hacking us you know try try a negotiating a better trade deal you might have a chance don't

00:20:32.480 try fucking out branding president donald trump that's just not gonna work dumbest thing you ever 0.94

00:20:40.560 fucking did she all right swearing is done the the cursing is over now let me tie this story back to 0.94

00:20:54.660 my original point when when the uh virus first started i felt like our president got off to a

00:21:01.760 shaky start but as i've said often the one thing you can't take away from him even even his critics

00:21:08.540 can't take this away from him he's a really fast learner i mean you've seen him jump from industry to

00:21:14.600 industry and then dominate it and you know becoming president on the first try well it wasn't first try but

00:21:20.960 became president without practice of being a president or a politician so

00:21:25.820 so here's why i feel so much better i feel so much better because we're on war footing

00:21:37.460 the president has fully embraced the war president model and boy is he good at it so he wasn't really

00:21:46.900 good at the woe is us bad as bad stuff is coming our way but man you give him you give him an enemy

00:21:53.840 let's say china he's really good at that so you don't want to be his enemy uh and so you know he's just

00:22:03.820 one part of the part of a very large machine that's working on this and i would say that um and i've said

00:22:10.520 this before but the more i say this the more this is going to be a filter you're going to want to look at

00:22:16.300 long before the coronavirus i had told you that we were approaching the golden age doesn't feel

00:22:24.320 like it today but we're approaching the golden age because we no longer had material shortages

00:22:30.460 and that all of our problems that were remaining were information problems in disguise in other

00:22:36.780 words if you had enough information you could solve it the virus is the perfect example it is purely an

00:22:44.040 information problem that is disguised as a medical problem because that's the outcome of not having

00:22:49.820 the right information but watch our information acquisition process seven billion human beings all

00:22:59.320 on the same path in terms of the same objective at least those that are paying attention each of them

00:23:05.780 have you know hands and eyes and ears and brains and they're all like little sensors and all of those

00:23:11.960 sensors in the form of human beings all over the world are sensing their world and they're absorbing

00:23:17.500 information at an incredible rate and filtering it and finding you know what's good so the information

00:23:25.420 that it would take to to defeat the virus is moving very quickly but the nature of it is you don't see the

00:23:32.640 impact until it reaches some critical mass so imagine if you will that our information went from

00:23:38.320 nothing you know fog of war if we had information it was more likely wrong than right

00:23:43.260 to something to something much bigger and we're sort of here right now we need to get here you know

00:23:51.420 something like multiple of that but the rate at which we're going that's not going to take long

00:23:57.300 so the in the testing kits for example are information gathering the the knowledge of what it worked and what

00:24:06.080 didn't is information the knowledge of how to you know change a ventilator so it helps four people

00:24:12.220 the information of how to operate it if we need more people is information the you know even even

00:24:18.300 starting up these little wartime factories to rapidly build medical equipment i'll bet that's almost

00:24:24.820 entirely an information problem in terms of how long it takes because in an emergency you get rid of

00:24:31.140 you know the obstacles so you you got the money everybody's on the same page you're gonna you

00:24:36.940 know skip some steps of approval and stuff like that but imagine you don't have that friction you're

00:24:44.000 trying to build an emergency factory and there's no friction of complaints or policies or programs

00:24:49.500 it's all been wiped away what's left what is the obstacle that's left it's pure information

00:24:56.540 because if everybody who was involved in the project suddenly could magically know exactly what

00:25:03.120 to do and here's the important part when in other words they they would only drive to the to the site

00:25:10.220 just as the the site was ready for that exact piece it that'd be an information solution so

00:25:17.240 information ultimately is how we beat all these things it gets translated into into technique and

00:25:24.260 strategy and and weapons against it and our information is increasing insanely there's a story out of israel

00:25:33.020 that israel uh and i know what you're going to think about this before i say it but israel is

00:25:39.160 apparently um tracking every resident's phone location and and knows a record of where it's been

00:25:47.560 and they're they're crunching those numbers so they can find out if somebody is identified to have it

00:25:54.060 they can actually reverse the history and find out all the people who had cell phones that were

00:25:59.300 standing within infection distance and they send them a text message and say are you coughing because

00:26:06.280 you stood next to somebody who's infected maybe you should stay away from people for a little while

00:26:10.800 now

00:26:12.760 that's what can be done

00:26:18.380 now do you think that other countries couldn't do that

00:26:23.700 no of course they could i mean the the more advanced countries would be better at it

00:26:28.980 but yeah uh every part of that is is well within the quite doable range now if you're wondering

00:26:36.380 how is that possible the phone companies already have a record all the time of where you're where you are

00:26:44.060 with your phone they just don't share it but it's an emergency so apparently in israel they shared it

00:26:51.620 i don't i don't know their situation with their phones over there so how do you feel now right

00:26:58.740 because under normal circumstances the public would say no effing way you are not going to track me

00:27:06.560 everywhere i go but in an emergency if it's the difference between you know crashing the economy

00:27:12.720 and not would you allow the government to track you let's say for three months now of course you're

00:27:20.300 all cynics and you say scott scott scott if we let them do it temporarily they will build the

00:27:26.240 capability and then they'll just do it permanently to which i say what reality are you living in

00:27:32.500 they already have the capability do i know that no of course not it would be a state secret if

00:27:38.540 if anything like that were happening but do you think there's any chance that the countries who can

00:27:44.600 do it are not looking into it right because now that israel's announced it the cat's out of the bag

00:27:52.040 people can react to that we can see how people react to that etc so i tweeted when i saw the story

00:27:57.480 about the israel situation i said in public in the tweet that i give permission to the united states

00:28:04.440 government to track my phone for the duration of the crisis now of course they don't need my

00:28:11.480 permission right that's what that's what an emergency is you know there's no point having an emergency if

00:28:16.880 they have to get my permission to do something they just need to do what they need to do but it's got

00:28:21.720 to make it easier you know it's got to make you know got to make at least it more possible if citizens

00:28:28.880 say you know under every other condition no way under this condition go for it but you know check in

00:28:36.960 when check it again in three months because you know you need a hard stop on this in three months

00:28:42.220 you know maybe you need a maybe you need a federal judge or something appointed just to make sure it

00:28:48.140 gets shut down at some point you know you could take care of it these these are the kinds of things

00:28:52.720 that could be fixed um so i would say that our uh our leadership team is a plus you know i had a few

00:29:01.780 things i was sort of waiting for to make a judgment on how competent the government was being one of them

00:29:08.620 was to see how long it would take for for an announcement that doctors could practice across state lines

00:29:15.460 for the duration of the emergency at least it turns out it didn't take that long um i don't know how

00:29:21.400 long was it a week but that's that's pretty darn quick you know in governmental terms so you're welcome

00:29:30.340 you know i don't have any way to know that that wouldn't have happened on its own

00:29:35.700 i just know that i worked really hard on it and and i i do know that you know the the idea

00:29:41.780 got to the right people at the right time so that's all i know but one has to one has to think

00:29:47.560 that you know for every time you have a brilliant idea of doing something probably somebody else had

00:29:54.200 that idea because it wasn't it wasn't so non-obvious uh certainly the telehealth people probably had to

00:30:00.260 have that at top of mind but um if the citizens helped brought it along a little bit you know maybe we

00:30:07.400 helped in some small way um so i was looking to that to see if it got done because if that simple

00:30:13.880 thing couldn't get done what kind of confidence would you have in your government i mean really

00:30:19.820 so that that was like a real marker of confidence to me that that that a no-brainer thing indeed

00:30:26.860 was treated like a no-brainer nobody pushed back that was it no pushback i think it just sailed right

00:30:34.220 through um the other thing i looked for is uh whether politics is taking a side you know a side

00:30:45.140 seat and when you see the you know the republicans try harder to give money to you know the low-income

00:30:53.580 people to get through the crisis than even the democrats i don't know that that's true i'm just you

00:30:59.440 i'm just saying that for hyperbole both the democrats and the republicans are trying hard

00:31:04.680 sincerely to do something that looks pretty socialist at least in the short run you know

00:31:10.940 we'll we'll call it a different thing it'll be emergency but it's kind of socialist in the short

00:31:15.700 run so we're seeing people who get at least in some sense you know free health care for this

00:31:21.160 particular situation the ubi is almost certain to happen um and i don't think anybody's paying their

00:31:28.480 school debts at the moment so nobody on the republican side well maybe somebody probably

00:31:38.020 somebody is but i haven't seen it they don't seem to be pushing back against doing something that

00:31:43.720 andrew yang thought was a good idea a year ago i mean you would expect that right if we're just being

00:31:49.260 political um if you were just being political you'd expect that the republicans would say no

00:31:54.940 keep your socialism we'll work it out but they're not so watching the republicans become completely

00:32:03.240 flexible about what's on the table and what's not is encouraging it's very encouraging somebody says

00:32:11.620 somebody says nancy pelosi is being political well she's also you know other than approving some money 0.97

00:32:19.340 i'm not sure she has much of a role uh it looks like an executive branch thing once the once the congress

00:32:25.980 gives them money and they have

00:32:27.020 um

00:32:29.820 let's see

00:32:33.200 just looking at your comments

00:32:37.380 this isn't socialism this is stimulus and healing

00:32:43.540 yeah yeah you know you're also well trained that you don't want to use that word socialism

00:32:48.580 but you know anytime you're redistributing money from from the rich to the poor even if it's going

00:32:55.060 through the government um you can call it whatever you want the point is that the republicans are not

00:33:00.900 balking any idea that looks like it could be productive so that's what you want to see if you want to have

00:33:05.800 confidence that's exactly what you want to see um so we got that so if you ask me every part of this

00:33:15.640 looks like we're getting smarter and better and if we're focusing on the past it's a mistake

00:33:21.780 i think we can look at that stuff later to learn something

00:33:24.580 um

00:33:26.120 what about the election with the virus stuff going off

00:33:30.920 well um i think we're going to work it out my guess is that november is a long ways away

00:33:38.200 in emergency time i've said this before but in you know in normal time you wouldn't be able to

00:33:43.480 you know retrofit your your entire election process and do it quickly and get it done

00:33:48.860 but i have to think that you know i have to think that in the context

00:33:54.060 of an emergency we probably have 10 different ways we could you know retrofit the system

00:34:00.840 and you know make it work so people don't get infected so my guess is the primaries are probably

00:34:07.800 going to get canceled maybe the convention will get canceled but maybe both conventions will get

00:34:13.640 canceled if if if one of them does they'll both get but i don't know that we needed any of it

00:34:18.200 because nobody's doubting that biden is going to be the nominee right nobody's really doubting it

00:34:24.380 do you need a bunch of people to be in a room to figure that out there's got to be some way to work

00:34:28.640 that out so i think it'll just be an inconvenience in terms of the political process and people will

00:34:33.880 work it out that's my guess somebody says should i buy a gun well it's probably too late

00:34:40.680 probably too late um that's a personal choice

00:34:46.400 all right somebody says flu season has to end sometime does it well regular flus do we'll see

00:35:00.280 all right i think i said everything i want to say um i think uh talker must be having a good day over

00:35:09.680 there because all my audience went over to watch him but i will talk to you in the morning so stay alive

00:35:18.000 stay alive
