was saying look at genetics, look at vitamin D. And correct, correct. So you have to give me those check marks. That doesn't mean I'm right on everything and when I'm wrong you should point it out. And yeah, obesity and being African-American and you know a whole bunch of things that increase your risk.

All right. Trump was in California yesterday talking to Gavin Newsom and people about the forest fires, etc. Now here's a little fact that you may not have processed when you're watching that. It's kind of interesting that Trump and Gavin Newsom treat each other with an unusual amount of respect, wouldn't you say? You know they differ, no doubt about that. But there is a level of respect there that you don't really, it fools you a little bit because he doesn't seem to be as nice to every other governor but he's really nice to Gavin Newsom and vice versa. But you might not know that Gavin Newsom's ex-wife Kimberly Guilfoyle has of course been with Don Jr. in a relationship for some time now. And I'm pretty sure, fact check me on this, I think that Gavin Newsom and Kimberly Guilfoyle have children, right? Or one child. I don't know what the situation is but at least one. Which would mean that President Trump basically has, in effect, you know that who knows what the relationship will be in the future but in effect it's like he has a grandchild in law. What would you call it? You know a virtual grandchild. His stepson, a great step-grandchild or something. So Gavin Newsom and President Trump share family. They actually share family. And I think that you have to really have that filter on when you see how they interact with each other. I'm getting confirmation that they have a son. And you can't discount how important that is, the personal relationship. And the president has been always good with the personal relationships anyway.

What's interesting here is that Gavin Newsom was very diplomatic by saying yes, forest management is a thing that needs to be done better. I think we'd all agree. But he asked the president to be open-minded to the difference of opinion about the importance of climate change. And the way he worded it was just really good. I have to admit, really good. In the sense that he needed to be super diplomatic but still get his point across. I think he did. I'd say that communication-wise he did a good job.

And then the president, because he can't go five minutes without controversy, I listened to this and I was thinking to myself, don't say it, don't say it. You know, don't talk about, I'm waiting for him to respond about the climate change stuff and the whole time I'm just, no don't do it, don't do it. And then the president smiles and he goes, he goes, uh, it will get cooler. And I'm like, no. Oh no. Oh no. It will get cooler. He didn't have to say that. But I think we're all used to it by now that whatever is the provocative thing, he's going to say it. If there's a provocative way to say something in a non-provocative way you might get the provocative one.

Now here's what's interesting. My criticism of that is only in the way it's going to make people feel and you know the politics of it. My criticism of that is not that he's wrong. Because my guess is that you know temperature will probably modulate up and down. I happen to be on the side that says in all likelihood temperatures are going up on average. I don't think it's the end of the world. I think we'll figure out how to mitigate. And you know the disasters have gone down every year because we're better at managing everything from hurricanes to floods, you name it, forest fires even. We're better at managing. In a weird way there's more to that story. But the point is that we would figure out how to deal with it even if it's getting warmer, which it probably is.

The president goes for the provocative statement that it'll get cooler. You just watch. Now is that true? Well it might. We might have a few years where it's a little cooler on average but I don't think in the long term it's going to stay cool. I could be wrong. You know science can surprise you. But at this point I would say the weight of science suggests that the temperatures will probably go up. We just don't know what that looks like. All right, so I wouldn't have said that if I were the president but I doubt it changes anything at this point.

And I would say this is another example where, and I say this often, if you think there's such a thing as a good president and a bad president I think you're wrong. There's no such thing as a good president and a bad president. There are presidents who are well suited to certain tasks and maybe not well suited for others. The president is just absolutely not suited for anything but optimism. He just doesn't have a non-optimism mode. He doesn't give bad news. Now does that mean he's a bad president? No. It means for some things where maybe we should be a little more worried, people would like to hear him give a little more negativity. But if you want to get your economy back, who do you want? It's like Ghostbusters. It's like okay if you want some fake optimism about something he's just not always the right guy because sometimes things need to be treated more seriously. But if you want to goose the economy, if you want to get a peace deal with another country, if you want to win three or four Nobel Prizes, he's your guy. Nobody does what he does well better than he does.

Let me frame it in the way you haven't heard me say before. In my opinion the president is bad at easy stuff. All right. President Trump in my opinion is bad, does a bad job at easy things. Now an easy thing would be saying, telling the country, oh things are going to be bad. I have great empathy for you. Let me say things about, you know, to end divisiveness, etc. All of the stuff that Biden says every day is the e
