If a vaccine comes and the panic eases before summer, Donald Trump will be reelected. Let me repeat. If a vaccine comes, and they're supposedly in phase three trials. Before midsummer, he's reelected. Democrats know that. Press knows it. They got to do everything they can to try to destroy them now. The vaccine is everything. Let's go to the media. Okay, we got two things here. So NBC's White House correspondent, his man named Peter Alexander. I do not know him. All right, I've never met him. I don't watch NBC News much. I know Comcast, the parent company of NBC, hates Donald Trump. And that's evident in MSNBC and NBC news reporting. I've said good things about Lester Holt, the primary anchor at NBC. I work with

Lester, Channel 2 in New York City. I respect Lester. But he's one man a against a corporation. Corporation despises Donald Trump. So I'm gonna run a sound bite where the president actually attacked Peter Alexander. Go. Dr. Fauci said there is no magic drug for coronavirus right now, which you would agree.

I guess on this issue that we'll let's say. Well, I think we only disagree a little bit. I'm sorry. Maybe and maybe not. Maybe there is, maybe there isn't. We have to see. We're gonna know. Is it possible that you're

impulse to put a positive spin on things, maybe giving Americans a false sense of what is representing the preparedness right now. No, I don't think so. I think it's got, you know, I know, the not yet approved drug. I have such a lovely question. So what do you say to where the units are nearly 200 people are scared though, I guess, nearly 200 dead, 14,000 who are sick, millions, as you witnessed, who are scared right now. What do you say to Americans who are watching you right now who are scared?

I say that you're a terrible reporter. That's what I say. Go ahead. I think it's a very nasty question. And I think it's a very bad signal that you're putting out to the American people. The American people are looking for answers and they're looking for hope. And you're doing sensationalism. Okay.

It is the president of the United States' job to calm things down, to give people hope. That's why in the beginning, even though Donald Trump stopped the flights from China, He wasn't screaming, oh, a virus is coming, a virus is coming, like Paul Revere and the British. He didn't want to tank the markets. He wanted to maintain calm. And he was hoping, the president was hoping that it wouldn't be that bad. Turns out it is that bad. Did President Trump do anything wrong in trying to bring some stability and calm to the situation?

In my opinion, no. The president of the United States believes the country. country will get back to normal work-wise by Easter. That is what his plan is, to get industry up and running again by Easter. Now, that may happen, it may not, depends on health considerations, but he is, President Trump is determined not to let the United States of America sink into a depression. about a recession. That's already in play. We're talking about a depression if you keep industry on the sidelines for five months, six months. And the government can't afford to support 330 million people. So that was the headline today of all the verbiage. I selected two soundbikes to give you a

tone of how Mr. Trump is thinking role number one. I said, we've never been. close the country before. This never happened before. You're going to, you're saying, I said, are you, are you serious about this? We are going to take this country that's fully employed where we have 160 million people working and you're telling me we have to close it and people are going to go out of business and they're going to go bankrupt and they're not going to have jobs? What are we talking about here? Don't forget, this has never been done. We've had flus before. We've had viruses before. So this is something new. And this is why I say we have to, I gave it two weeks. And, you know, I guess by Monday or Tuesday, it's about two weeks. And we'll assess at that time.

So he's talking about the state of emergency. So next week, there'll be some reassessment. But next week, by next week, the cases of the virus will not be on the decline. By Easter, they may be. That's the difference. So Easter, at the end of April, and that's the target date. In the meantime, Donald Trump well knows that his whole political career is riding on him being able to contain this virus. Now, the only way you do that is by getting a vaccine or medicines. That's well underway, and I believe that will happen. I don't know way. But I know enough that they're not that far away, all right, for getting some kind of relief in this coronavirus situation. But the president is well aware if that does not

happen, what will happen. Roll it. You're going to have suicides by the thousands. You're going to have all sorts of things happen. You're going to have instability. You can't just come in and say, let's close up the United States of America, the biggest, the most successful country in the world by far. All right. So that is the crux of what happened to today with the President of the United States. All the other stuff doesn't matter. He wants to open the country for business by Easter, all right? He knows the downside.

Today, as I do every day, I monitor the news flow. So that means I have to have the TV on, and all of a sudden, Andrew Cuomo is there again. My governor, Andrew Cuomo, again, there is not one other governor in the United States who could command network and cable news time in midday, not one. But Cuomo does. Why? Because Governor Andrew Cuomo of New York State is now running for president. That's what he's doing. Running for president. Might not get it this time around, but 2024, believe me. And he comes off well on TV. He's bloviating too much. I mean, it's too, the guy could say what he says in 10 minutes, he takes a half an hour.

So it's like, ah, come on, all right. But very articulate, very authoritative, all right, the information is good. Networks love them. The left-wing cable networks love them. Fox, they're running them. I don't know. I think they like them, but I'm not sure there. I don't know.

Now, what Cuomo is going to do is he's going to be. the champion of the virus defeat. So he's competing with Donald Trump. And on television, Cuomo is more precise than Trump. Trump wanders. He wanders. Cuomo is much more focused. But both men love the sound of their own voice. As do I, I'm not going to say that I'm not guilty of that somewhat, but I get to the point. So it's Cuomo basically setting himself as the virus slayer. Okay? And then when things go wrong, he blames Trump. So that, I mean, it's a win-win. Things go right. It's Andrew Cuobo with a guy, what a guy. Things go wrong. I'm Trump. All right. So Biden disappeared. We don't know where Joe is. Joe tries, but

is not coming out of Delaware. We're not going to lot. Sanders is going to stay in the race. I can't believe he is, but he is, and he wants to debate in April. I guess Bernie didn't have anything to do, but it's just insane. However, there is a chance that Biden won't have enough delegates, 1,191 needed when he shows up in Milwaukee in July for the convention. If so, guess he's going to be there next to Hillary? And, Cuomo. And don't be surprised if Andrew Cuomo slaps Hillary on the VP, the little package. I've told you and told you and told you that the Democratic Party is worried about Biden. He shows up on the view. Now understand this, that Joe Biden is in a tough spot. Can't campaign.

He's got the nomination. He's got it. I doubt if there's going to be anything that happens, but it's possible. Remember, he's going to be 78 years old and he's not really in control. Let me demonstrate that once again. Roll the tape. Are you at all concerned, as Trump said, that we cannot let the cure be worse than the problem itself? We have to take care of the cure. That will make the problem worse no matter what. No matter what? We know what has to be done. So the cure will make the problem worse. Now, I've told you over and over and over. I'm not a medical person. I don't diagnose people. but Joe Biden, as a journalist, I'm telling you this, does not know what he's saying

many times. He doesn't know. Now, I'm going to run another soundbite where he is clear. But that, he did not know what he was saying. And but he just said it. Not a lot of people like that, but not running for president. I've never seen in my 45 years of reporting. I have never seen a presidential candidate or someone running for president be as inarticulate as Joe Biden. I mean, that makes no sense at all. And he doesn't even know what's coming out of his mouth. All right. And I mean, for you, for a guy to say, all right, the cure will make the problem worse, no matter why. All right. Here's a Here is a soundbite that was clear. Go.

The American people don't want us in a political fight, and I want no part of a political fight either. But when the president says things that, in fact, turn out not to be accurate, we should not say you're lying. We should say, Mr. President, that's not the fact. Here's the deal. Okay. But lying is a word that anybody can exploit.

So if you misstate something, if you exaggerates, oh, there's a lie. But that's all right. You knew what he meant. So Biden also announced he's going to have a podcast. So I hope you're watching this podcast, the most successful political, analytical podcasts in the world. Well, maybe you, and I know what I'm saying, all the time.
