capacity problem. So I don't know if your 5G phone is going to give you 5G speed right away every place you would use it, but probably it'll start out pretty good. And here's the thing you need to know about speed. Speed doesn't just help you do what you were going to do anyway but make it faster. This kind of speed will change what you do. You'll be able to do things that you couldn't do before.…

If you heard something like that you might say to yourself, okay, they've got a system, they've got a goal that I agree with. And Bernie's got — if you look at sort of the Bernie-type plans that Biden might do or Kamala Harris might do — it looks more like it's harder to get there. It's like they don't have a plan to get there that makes sense math-wise. So I think that's where the Republicans could go.
I've suggested on Twitter that Trump should run an ad saying that he's the only candidate for president who's immune to the coronavirus. Now of course there is a debate as to whether Trump has any immunity or if he has immunity is it short term. Some say four months, some say longer. And I don't know that it matters because it would be so hilarious if he started tweeting that he's the only candidate who is immune to the coronavirus that the press would go nuts because they'd be, no, no, that is not scientifically valid.
And you could shop for doctors by procedure. Yeah, that's a good comment. Anyway, so it would be funny if he did that. I don't think he will.
A troll came after me today on Twitter and said he can't wait to see how unhappy I am and what will I do if Trump were to lose the election. And I replied back to the effect, I don't think you know me very well. I would get over that in about 10 minutes. I don't have a long recovery time from bad news. You know, some bad news you have to work on. You know, it causes you to work to get out of the hole you ended up in. But I always spend a lot of time fretting about the past and the past happens immediately, right? You know, if it turned out — and I'm still predicting that Trump will win — but if it turned out that he didn't, I'm pretty sure I would get over that in about 10 minutes. That's just me. You might have a different experience.
Biden apparently has revealed a little bit about his court packing ways. And by the way, is it just me or does court packing sound vaguely like an insult? You freaking court packer. Doesn't it just have the right consonant and S sounds to sound like an insult? You freaking court packer. You damn court packer. Well, it sounds like an insult.
And here's what Biden said to give us another hint what he's thinking about. He said, quote, "I'm not a fan of court packing, but I don't want to get off on that whole issue." Biden told a CNN affiliate, "I want to keep focused. The president would love nothing better than to fight about whether or not I would in fact pack the court or not pack the court." Is he the dumbest guy you've ever met in your life? Now I think he might have been smart at one point in his life.
Yeah, no, fair with the comments. I'm saying there — let's not make it gay jokes, okay? The court packer by itself sounds like an insult. You don't have to bring it into another domain.
So here he is saying he's not a fan of court packing. He's very cleverly or stupidly — I haven't decided which. It might actually be brilliant because we might have reached a point where people are so irrational about everything that Biden can actually just say something that he knows will be taken two different ways by two different groups. So he can say something that will make Republicans comfortable because he says I'm not a fan of court packing. So if you're a Republican you hear that and say, not a fan of court packing, okay, okay, he's obviously not a guy who's going to do court packing so I guess I feel comfortable about that. So the Republicans have something they can hold on to. Meanwhile the progressives who would like some court packing, they listen to the second part of it. He goes, I just don't want to get off on that whole issue. So he doesn't want to fight about whether I would or would not pack the court. So he's still leaving it open.
But here's the real question. Why are you asking Joe Biden about court packing? The only one that matters — yeah, I'm seeing in the comments you're way ahead of me — does Kamala Harris like court packing? Because something like greater than half of voters, including the people who would vote for Biden, even most of

them believe he won't make it four years. So you're not really talking about Biden's opinion. You're talking about Biden's opinion for a while plus Kamala's opinion for whatever time is remaining or even the second term if she were the one to run for the term after that. So shouldn't we be really pushing on that? You know, I think we've heard everything we need to from Joe Biden, but we kind of ne…
