ruled experts, medical, financial, legal. All right, so I don't know how to say this without sounding like a douchebag, so I'm just going to do it anyway. It's an emergency, so you don't mind me sounding like a douchebag for now. Forgive me in advance.

I operated at a pretty high level of business because I have to. The Dilbert Enterprise is a pretty big operation, and it has been, and so I make a lot of big business decisions. And I've got a lot of expertise, plus my own life. I've made quite a few medical decisions with and without medical experts. And I got to tell you that if you're operating at the higher levels, you're not taking the advice of experts on face value. It just doesn't happen. At Trump's level, as he's operating the Trump universe and doing his job before he was president, I guarantee you he had to manage the advice of experts. And when I say manage it, I mean sometimes take it and sometimes not, and sometimes have to be the referee of different competing experts.

So he has exactly the right talent stack and skill set for negotiating a situation where you don't understand everything the experts understand. That's the nature of experts. But you still have to negotiate a decision. He's kind of perfect for this. He really is. His BS detector is as good as anybody's, and he has just the right amount of skepticism, which his critics say is too much. Yeah, they're gonna say he's anti-science, not believing the experts, but you know it's just right to me. It's just right to me.

Somebody says Scott's technical IQ less than 100. Well we don't need you doing. Goodbye. And let's talk through some of the factors.

So here's another fact about deadlines. If your president says, and I hope he does, on this day we're gonna start a phased approach back to work, I don't think he's gonna say everybody go back to work. That's not gonna happen. This can be phased. And here's another psychological fact: people respond to deadlines like crazy. It's just the most universal management fact. If the president says on X day these people are going to go back to work, and the medical community says, as I imagine some of them will, no it's just there's just no way we can handle that, the disease will kill us all or whatever they're going to say, you will be surprised how much ingenuity and hard work can be packed into whatever time the president says this needs to be done.

So in an emergency, and when we're all focused, and when the best of us are taking the lead, and I think that's largely the case in an emergency, the best people, they
