en's brain is working? Now I have talked to people who support Biden, but I've never heard them say directly, yeah, I'm looking at him and he looks fine to me. Because I don't think it's a thing. I don't think there's any Democrat who, looking in the eyes and being honest, I mean anybody can lie, but being honest and say, you know, I don't see anything wrong. I'm watching the videos. You are? I gu…

Let's stop arguing about whether people are panicking or not panicking. That's word thinking. Let's just call it preparing. Every time somebody says so-and-so is panicking or are you panicking or who's panicking or panic panic panic, immediately just replace the word with preparation. Because nobody knows the right amount of emotional investment. Yeah, don't worry about my internal state, worry about what I do. And let's just call it preparing.

You know, I have to wonder, could they walk and chew gum at the same time? That question doesn't have to be asked anymore. You don't have to ask is it possible. You can simply look at what happened. It didn't happen. They walked and they did not chew gum.
Now maybe they could have. Maybe if you talked to them, say you know we could have done both things but we didn't. So it doesn't matter if you can walk and chew gum if you're not willing to. If all you're gonna do is walk and not chew the gum, don't tell us you can if you don't. And they didn't. And you could argue, and Joel puts this thought ou

t there in the universe, that we can now put a price on the impeachment in lives, actual people who would die who might not have died otherwise because of a slow preparation and lack of focus on this emerging problem at the time. Could it be that impeachment will kill a million Americans? You know, did you just scoff at that? Did you just scoff when I said that impeachment might kill a million Ame…
