thinks he nailed it this week. I think he knows he missed the layup this week.

Yeah but I don't know where Boo the cat is. She's usually in here. I guess she got a better offer today.

All right was there anything else going on? So if somebody says are you still too left for Bernie and Warren? Yes but I'm better at math. So where Bernie and Warren want to do some things where the math doesn't work I could still like their goal. So I share Bernie and Warren's goal of making education widely available for cheaper, for free, and I think health care is a basic right. I don't know how to get there. If I knew how to get there I would tell you cleverly how my plan is better than their plan but I don't know how to make the math work.

But I've said this before there's somebody in the news who's lying to you badly and I'm not exactly sure who. Let me give you two facts and see if you can make them make sense. There are two things we are told reliably. That there's something like 18% of the United States does not have health care, right? So everybody has health care, health care insurance except for 18% of the country. So what would that tell you about how much extra each of us would have to pay whether it's in taxes or some other kind of way? How much would each of us have to pay to make up for that 18%? I don't know, 10, 20 percent extra because if you add the extra 18 percent maybe there's some extra economies of scale because of size or whatever, maybe not I don't know, but somewhere in that 18 percent range right? If 18 percent don't have insurance then all the people who, presumably they're also the people who are poor so they're not paying any taxes. So if 18 percent of the people are poor and not paying taxes and don't have health care what would it cost the rest of the people who are not as poor and have health care to cover them? Isn't it around 18 percent? So if I were to raise my health care expense by 18 percent it would be say three, four hundred dollars a month. I don't know. I'm somewhere in that range.

Now keep that in mind that it might cost you a few hundred dollars per month more if you were asked to cover the 18 percent who don't have insurance. Now how does that work with the fact that I turn on Fox News and you'll hear experts and even Warren herself and Bernie himself telling you it's going to cost 30 trillion dollars and that there's not enough, there's not enough money in the entire country even if every rich person gave up all their money there's not enough money to pay for covering that extra 18 percent. Do you see where I'm going with this? Somebody is lying to you by trillions and I don't know who it is. I don't know who it is. It's either true that we have only 18 percent, you know some I see people saying it's a little higher than 18 percent but the math will still work either way. It's either true that 18% don't have healthcare or it's true that giving everybody healthcare will cost trillions and trillions and there's no way we have that much money. They're not both true. They can't be. Do you see that? Do you see that those two things which are both reported as uncontested fact can't both be true? Somebody is lying to you in such a massive way it's trillions. It's trillions of dollars they're lying to you and I don't know which side. I actually don't because both of those things can't be true at the same time.

Here's my suspicion. The 18% is the one that's true because I think you can measure that fairly accurately. What both Warren and Bernie are doing incompetently, like so incompetently I almost want to like give up on supporting Trump, go to Bernie, go to Elizabeth Warren and say please dear God can I fix your message because you are so ruining this. You know you're actually making it harder for more people to get insurance because you've totally ruined the message. Here's the message that Elizabeth Warren says. Elizabeth Warren how are you gonna pay for this? Is the middle class gonna pay more? Their costs will go down. Now we didn't ask you their costs we said will their taxes go up? Elizabeth can you answer that question? Their costs will go down. Elizabeth do you have a hearing problem because I'm asking you are the taxes going up for that group? Their costs will go down. There you go. What the hell is wrong with you? What the hell is wrong with you?

Here's the correct answer. Allow me to be Elizabeth Warren and not a freaking idiot. This is what you would say: yes the whole point is that people won't have to pay their own costs and employers won't have to pay for it so there'll be less money paid into the healthcare. The government will do that and the way that looks is that your total costs will go down even though your taxes will go up a little bit. So yes what we plan to do is have your taxes go up a little bit but the savings that you'll have overall will go up a lot. That's our plan. So we want you to save a lot of money if you're in the middle class. A lot. Your ta
