t would be my guess. I think he's going to push hard on how that will destroy the country and we're all in trouble. The Democrats are also doing a better job lying, as it turns out. They're telling people that they're going to lose their health care if Trump gets reelected, that you'll lose pre-existing conditions. There's no evidence that any of this is true, and there's evidence that it is fals…

Nancy Pelosi put a bunch of things in the stimulus bill that anybody would have known would make it impossible for Republicans to pass it. Anybody would know that. So it's quite obvious that Nancy Pelosi knew that that bill was impossible to pass the way it was designed. And she wasn't going to negotiate it, which further tells you it was never intended to be passed. It was intended to fail so they could blame it on the president. That's right. Nancy Pelosi is actually starving Americans, starving Americans for political gain. But because they control the media, so much of it anyway, that story will turn into the opposite of that. They can just say it's the opposite. It's the opposite. It was a perfectly good bill and this President Trump, he decided not to negotiate and walked away. So it's all on him, right?
Of course the president has said that he would be perfectly happy to sign a clean bill that just had stimulus checks and I think one other thing. But they won't send that to him because they can starve the public and blame it on Trump because they control the news. Amazingly. And also since the media doesn't understand how negotiating works, when they see Trump walk away from the negotiating table they say, hey, Trump stopped negotiating, which is exactly the opposite of what happened. They can report exactly the opposite of reality and get away with it completely. When he walks away from the table, that's negotiating. That's what it is. And he's told us specifically. He wrote a book about it. Walk away from the table, otherwise you can't get what you want. So he's negotiating. But the news will treat it as he stopped negotiating because they can. They just can. They just have the power to report things as the opposite of what is obviously true and they can get away with it. It's amazing. And of course the ignorance of the public really helps them there.
I'm seeing more reports about that drug that Trump is apparently on, this dexamethasone. And some doctors are saying it has the side effects including aggression, agitation, and confusion. Now most people won't have those side effects, but I don't like those side effects. And I gotta say, as much as I love my President Trump, any president who was taking a drug that might have those side effects, I think you have to take the nuclear codes away from them. I really do. And it's so close to an election that I can't imagine that would happen. But under normal conditions, yeah. No matter how much you love your president, that's a pretty big risk, right? You would find it no value in my commentary if I just agreed with the president on

everything. That would be no use to you at all. So that's my opinion on that. Here is the strangest simulation thing. As you know, Kellyanne Conway has been tested positive as well as her daughter. So both Kellyanne and her daughter have the coronavirus. I was googling this morning to try to determine if George Conway has tested positive for coronavirus. You would think that if two family members…
