d the country is absolutely fixable. We cannot take nor accept a defeatist attitude. I understand fully how corrupt our bureaucracy and elements within our government have become. The one person who can fix it is the president, but it must be the right president. How do you think Lincoln felt halfway through his administration with the unity of the nation in grave peril? Or other great leaders throughout history who saw peril and did not flinch in fear or indecision? Hang tough, Wyatt. That's who he was talking to in his comments. I know you will, as will millions of others. You only lose when you quit. That is correct. That is correct.

Now, I've told you this before. One of the great advantages of being my age is that I get to see how many times we've been doomed. We've been doomed a lot. We've been doomed since I was five years old. We were doomed from a definite nuclear war with Russia. The ozone was emptying. We were running out of oil, and the hippies were going to take over and ruin our work culture. And it looked like the Communists were going to domino up the world, and we're polluted and we wouldn't be able to breathe, going to run out of food. That's just when I was 10. That's all the problems we had when I was 10 years old. And the '70s actually turned out to be a pretty good era after the war.

So I would say that America is really, really good at solving problems. But the phase before we solve a problem always looks like this. It looks like us complaining and not knowing how to solve the problem. And when everybody's complaining enough and everybody feels doomed enough and the problems look big enough, then we solve them. Because the weird thing about our problems is they're not unsolvable if we work together to solve them. But if you don't work together, you're pretty much dead, I think I could say that with certainty. If we work together to solve our problems, very solvable. Very solvable. If we decide to fight each other and not work together toward our problems, we're dead. But here's the good news: America does pull together when they don't have any choice. The internal division is a luxury that you get when things are working well. You don't turn on each other until things are kind of working okay, and then you have that luxury.

So as things get worse, our ability to solve them gets better, because that's when people say, okay. As they are now. Okay, Biden does have a problem. Now we're all on the same page, because they got worse. If Biden had not gotten worse, we would still be disagreeing whether he's bad enough to be president. But you know what we do about it may vary. But certainly we've agreed that now we have the same problem we're working toward. So I think that as the problems get worse, our ability to solve them gets better. But that's kind of invisible because you don't see it. And also there's always stuff working behind the scenes. There's technology, there's inventions, there are people trying things all the time. We generally figure this stuff out.

I would rate our current problems as average. Average. If you looked at every problem in America and compared it to all the problems we've ever had, somewhere in the middle. It's not an extra scary time. Might be the opposite. It's probably closer to extra safe than it is to extra scary on average. So no, don't worry about everything falling apart. It might get worse, but as it does, it gets closer to the time we have the resolve to solve it.

All right, there's going to be what they call a big boy press conference today. Biden's going to try to take questions from the White House press corps at 5:30 Eastern. So that would be right in the middle of Fox News's "The Five." So it's going to ruin their show. And I might want to livestream when that's happening. I haven't decided yet, but I'll see what I'm doing.

Here's what I think is the plan. Since
