answer is, so it looks like you skipped all of 2020 and didn't notice that if it's on the video it's probably a lie. That's why it's a viral video. All right, did you see though, let's talk a little more on Biden. So I offered in a tweet today or I offered a way to take him out of the race and it would look like this. Now this assumes that a reporter can ever talk to him and ask questions. I don'…

So here's my supposition. That because Biden's mental acuity is in question and I think it looks like it's obviously less than it used to be, if you look at old videos of Joe Biden talking it's really obvious there's something different going on. So if you ask him questions which are of the type he has answered before during his career, and I'm not talking about answered before as in yesterday, I'm talking about things which he has thought about for a long time, he probably has the right kind of memory capacity to dredge up some general answer, right? He could probably generally answer. Somebody says stop shaming him for stuttering. Well I've never done that because I don't shame people for stuttering. But any question that he has never seen before, a novel question, it would throw his brain into a reboot.
So think of it this way. I gave you one specific example of a non-standard way to ask the question. The standard way would have been do all lives matter and of course that's the racially divisive one. But the do white lives matter, you just haven't seen it. Nobody's asked that specific question. So it's the uniqueness of it that would throw him off his game whether it's this topic or any other.
I have some self-defense recommendation for you and it goes like this. If you accidentally hit a protester with your car in, under normal circumstances you should stop, right? Because if there's an accident, especially if somebody's hurt, you don't want to leave the scene of the crime. That would be another crime. You want to work it out. But in this specific situation where you hit a protester with your car and there are other protesters which clearly would surround your car and kill you, can you leave the scene of the crime in that situation? I would say yes. I would say that even if you hit somebody with your car you should get out of there as soon as you can. You want to leave as soon as you can.
Now to protect yourself, as soon as you're safe you want to call the authorities and tell them what happened. I think that would be good enough to protect you. I'm not a lawyer but I can tell you you're better off dealing with the legal consequences than you are with the mob that will certainly kill you if you stay around even if it was an accident.
Most of you saw the horrific accident yesterday. There's one fatality and it was just horrific. If you've seen the video, Joel Pollock had this interesting twist on two ideas. He put them together I guess. His wife, he reports, says this. This is Joel's tweet: My wife's Fourth of July idea. Put the proposed National Garden of Heroes along the National bicycle path. That's kind of as proposed now.
I should remind you that somebody else before, I thought I had this great idea of a nationwide bicycle path route with lots of supported structures that would create lots of jobs along the way. And then you could be a sort of a robot-proof business because you would need lots of humans to maintain it no matter what, at least for the foreseeable future. And then there's the idea of putting all the statues in the National Garden. But what if you let the statues be put near the bicycle paths or the bicycle paths go where they already are so that you would have a continuous history lesson at each stop?
So you'd be on the surface bicycling across the country or just some part of the country. Yeah you don't have to go the whole way. But every time you stopped there's a statue. Might be Martin Luther King. Might be George Washington with some context. Well he was a slave owner and we don't like that part, whatever you do. But basically make sure that everything is in context. If you want to make sure that you've got the more modern and non-slave owner statues then do tha

t too. Throw a Columbus in there but give the full context. Why not? And then of course they would be torn down in an hour so it wouldn't work. But yeah I think it's always fun to noodle on these kinds of ideas because it might give you ideas for better ideas. In the movie business that's called the bad idea. So somebody comes up with a bad idea and you know why it's bad but that makes you think…
