e don't have to drag them. Drag the 53 percent and the 62 percent. What does drag them mean? I mean actually like tie them to the back of the car and drag them? Does it mean hurt them? What does drag them mean?

If you could tweet in public specifically against an entire ethnicity and gender, white men, and your tweet doesn't get taken down, you don't lose your job, I don't know. I think she's a comedian or something. That's a pretty dangerous situation.

There was a Marshall University professor who said on video the other day, yesterday or something, that she wishes every Trump supporter would die before the election. What? How do you go on video? You're a semi public person because you teach at a college and you say in public with no reservations at all because apparently you've been only dealing with people who agree with you for a long time and didn't realize that it wasn't okay to say in public that you hope half of the country dies. And actually mean it because she wasn't joking. She sorta, I mean she wasn't being literal but she was certainly being, it looked like she was being accurate to her own feeling about Trump supporters. Like she wouldn't mind if some of them died. Certainly not all of them.

So it's just crazy that these things can be said out loud. This is the sort of stuff that should predict a Trump landslide because I think Republicans are staying quiet and doing two things. They're ordering their ballots if they don't have them and they're stocking up on ammo just in case. Just in case.

So this is a pretty dangerous situation. I continue to believe that the republic can handle this quite easily. So every now and then I feel it's my role to put things in context to make you feel better. All right?

If it's so easy to get caught up in these, you know each topic is the end of the world. Oh the replacement of the Supreme Court seat, it's the end of the world. We'll all kill each other if we don't get our way. The coronavirus is the end of the world. The economy is crashing. It feels like every story is going to be the end of the world but how many of them have been the end of the world so far? None. This won't be the end of the world either.

As problems go, if you were to look at the history of the United States it's easy to forget how many things this country has survived. We've survived some really big stuff, way bigger than this. So if you were to rank where the Supreme Court thing is in terms of ripping the country apart it's a two out of ten. If you're trying to say how worried should I be about the future because of the Supreme Court stuff, two out of ten. That's about it.

But it will be treated like it's a 10 out of 10 because that's what we do now. We're all going to treat it like it's 10 out of 10 but no matter how it goes we'll still be the United States. Our economy will still be improving. We'll still be inventing things. We'll still be fixing things and solving things and we will be fine. And we're a lot closer to solving our more recent big problems than we are to not solving them.

Speaking of which I forgot to mention this. I thought it was politically brilliant for Trump to approve 90 billion dollars for Puerto Rico. Now the people who are critics of the president will say, and I think it's a completely fair statement, they'll say why did it take so long? I remember I always kid, I always mock people for saying that if somebody did something good that you mock them for taking so long because that's just the easy cheap thing to say. Well why'd you take so long? I will criticize you for doing the wrong thing but I'll also criticize you for doing the right thing because you could have done it sooner. Now of course you can do anything sooner so it's the universal non-thing.

But with the Puerto Rico thing I think there's a better argument for why not sooner. If you ask me the reason why not sooner is, you know, number one it was probably helpful for the election but there are a couple of reasons why maybe not sooner made sense. One is there's a tremendous corruption problem there. It might have taken them a while to figure out how to pump money into Puerto Rico and not have it all stolen or wasted because stolen or wasted is exactly what would have happened if you would put 90 billion into there a month after the hurricane. Do we all agree that if you just said let's throw money at this place a month after the hurricane it would just all be wasted? Because they just, they don't have the systems, the controls. They just didn't have a way to watch that money and keep track of it and get it to the right places. It could be. I don't know. This that it probably takes a while to get some confidence that you've got a structure in place that you can now put money into it and it'll go s
