old Trump did some more crazy stuff because he's so impulsive and he can't control himself, right? And then their ratings go up and everybody has a good time. So it's like everybody wins. You know the reason that wrestling and sports and all that work is that everybody gets a chance to win. Maybe your team loses today but you know you're gonna win later so you win too. Anyway I thought Trump's sh…

Let's see. So here's a real sign of something. So in the news AOC and Senator Schumer got together and they're calling on FEMA to supply funeral funding to families who have lost loved ones to the virus. And they say quote "disaster funeral assistance would help individuals and households with the death of an immediate family member." Now you know I don't know much about the issue but sounds like a good one, right? So in terms of whether this is a good idea or a bad idea I would say anything we can do to help the public at this point is a good idea. So separate from the question of whether it's a good idea which I don't want to talk about it's just not interesting because it seems like a good enough idea. It's not really controversial.
But what's interesting about this is that AOC and Schumer, wouldn't you say are the sort of top tier of effective Trump critics? Is that a fair statement? Am I seeing Schumer? When they get together they're like the best strongest Trump critics. And what they spent their time on today was something that needed to be done. I'm guessing it seems like this is a reasonable thing to ask for and I'm happy that they're serving the public. I'm sure their constituents are asking for this so I'm totally on board with what they're asking for.
Here's my point. It's all they had left. It's all they had left. Because as soon as Dr. Fauci said President Trump did everything we recommended what do you got? As soon as President Trump said let's get a ton of money and give it to people directly and then the Democrats said how about even more money and the president said okay. And then when we spend all that money the president's literally in public today is saying you Democrats got to give us more money, more money to give to the poor people. What do AOC and Chuck Schumer have left? What issue are they gonna — because they can't really talk about the economy. Everybody understands why the economy is the way it is. They can't really talk about him handling things wrong because the experts told them what to do and he just did it. And they're the ones saying president you have to listen to the experts on climate change.
I think in a weird way the most positive endorsement I've ever seen of President Trump came today completely accidentally and in a different realm that had nothing to do with him. That two of his strongest nemeses got together to do something that was simply useful for the public. And by the way to their credit. So thank you. I'm sure the families will appreciate that. I hope it comes through. But that's all they had left. Think about that. Think about that. That was the issue that was left. Important and I'm glad they did it but it kind of shows that the president is sort of hitting the big levers and hitting the big buttons and what's left needs to be mopped up. It's not less important but certainly suggests that the president's on the right path.
All right, I promised you 45 minutes of stellar entertainment. Pretty sure I delivered. So tonight by the way did anybody try my technique for relaxation? The technique was to remember your last haircut or your hair salon visit and just imagine yourself going through the steps and how it felt and smelled and all that stuff. So in the comments, what the comment

s catch up, just tell me if that worked for you. On average before one on various 7,500 people die every day. We can if we can't afford it. Okay so I ask the question of people who think we're panicking on this thing to tell me what it would look like for them to be wrong. In other words how many people would have to die when we go back to work for somebody who said you know you're overselling th…
