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…

But is the only reason we haven't considered it because we have normal world thoughts? You know, should we at least toss it into the mix that somebody could develop a, and maybe somebody's making ventilators now that's a,…
