Now if you joined us last night I had a little technical difficulty. I was trying to bring on a special guest to talk about convalescent blood serum, and as soon as he's ready we're going to try that again this morning. So I'll wait till I see when Ian gets on. All right, let's tell him we're good now.

In the news, my favorite story is that President Trump apparently wanted to go golfing this weekend but he didn't want it to be the biggest story. So what do you do if you want to go golfing and you're the president and you don't want it to be the biggest story for three days? Well, on the way out the door to golf, what you do is you send a tweet that accuses Joe Scarborough of murder. You have to appreciate how much fun that is. Now of course not for the family of the victim who died many years ago, but the fact that Trump would accuse somebody of murder before he goes golfing is beautiful.

So I see Ian has joined. So let me just finish the story a little. Adam, on. Here's my take on that. Now on one hand it's completely outrageous and inappropriate that the President of the United States would accuse Joe Scarborough of murder when there's no indication that he actually murdered anybody. There was some young woman who hit her head and died in his office years ago. Now that's all we know, and she had some health problem that suggests that she just passed out. But the fact that the president would say that, now you say to yourself, well that's all wrong. That is so wrong. That is wrong on a level that's deeper than any wrongness, except we are talking about Joe Scarborough, who did lie about the president in the worst possible way for years.

I believe he accused the president of suggesting people should drink bleach. That never happened. I think he suggested the president had called neo-Nazis in Charlottesville fine people. That never happened. So is it fundamentally different to accuse somebody of being pro-Nazi versus saying you murdered your girlfriend? They're not that different, really, because once you have accepted that you can say absolutely anything in the political context, there's just no penalty. You can say absolutely anything. The president just took the rules and said, what are the rules? The rules are you can say anything, really just anything. I can just make up anything and I can just say it in public and it's a headline. All right, how about Joe Scarborough's a murderer? We'll see how that goes. Went pretty well.
