>> The topic of the pandemic came up because we're in a pandemic people. It
should obviously be talked about the debate. How is that not a bigger topic of discussion?
It's still here. It hasn't gone away. But anyway,
they just talked about it. And here is Trump once again reassuring you that, it's almost gone.
>> At Social Security, if in fact he continues to withhold his plan,
withhold the tax on Social Security, Social Security will be Bankrupt by 2023.
With no way to make up for it. This is a guy who's tried to cut Medicare. So
the idea that Donald Trump is lecturing me on Social Security and Medicare, come on.
>> Yeah, there was some sort of miscommunication there. But anyway
look, he went on during the debate talking about it'll soon be gone again, we're rounding the
corner. He keeps saying this, he's talking about how many goggles we've made, I guess.
And look Biden did a good job of pointing out this is a guy that said it'd be gone by Easter.
This is a guy who said the case it'll be down to zero. This is a guy who said it'll be gone
by the summer. And yet it's not looking like that's the case. The US set a record Thursday
is the number of new coronavirus cases rose to over 77,000, topping the previous record in July.
At nationwide, we had 77,640 new cases. The daily tally comes as the total number of
coronavirus cases of the country has reached nearly 8.5 million, with over 224,000 deaths.
There were 921 deaths reported just yesterday, right near 1,000. Again, again and again and
again and again. Day after day, months of a thousand roughly people dying every day.
It was horrific the first time that happened,
seven months ago, and it should be just as horrific with every day that we reach that mark.
And he says It'll soon be gone. Take a look at the chart. This is Cassis.
You remember that second wave after the Fourth of July, and we're about to hit that same peak again.
When you look at the news, when you talk to people, I feel like people really have moved
on. Certainly Trump is long gone. He doesn't care at all about what those numbers mean.
Or how deaths are certainly gonna rise again as they did during the second part of the first wave.
But yeah, we're entering right
into the third part, right? >> Yeah, it's very frustrating.
He doesn't want to take any responsibility for this. Instead of fixing it, he wants you to
basically pretend like it's not a problem. That is horrible. That is so horrible, and that is giving
up, and that is defeatist or that's defeated, and that is losing, and that is not American.
Americans fight, we fight for stuff, we fight to win.
He is giving up. And he is losing to a virus. And every step of the way,
he has bungled it, slow the testing down. Someone retweeted the moment that even in the debate,
Kristen Welker says Trump says he was kidding during it, like you have to say that.
Now, I re watched that moment where he said let's get some UV light in people's veins.
Let's inject bleach as a way of cleaning. It was not kidding. This is the same guy that
says we really need the voice of the demon Sigman doctor.
This is Trump, who now is attacking Anthony Fauci, who is an expert.
And his attack line on Biden is, Biden will listen to scientists.
It's not that hard man. And something you're not losing by going along with someone who knows more
than you. Is that what he thinks it is? Is his ego really that fragile? That if he says let's do what
scientists are saying or at least factoring it into our behavior.
It's ridiculous. No, he has decided that he would rather have a high stock market
by hinting that there's gonna be a bailout, which isn't even his responsibility.
The Wall Street has faith that after this, Pelosi and Trump will finally come around on
some kind of end, McConnell will come around on some kind of stimulus, cuxz they have to.
They think they'll be fine. But he thinks that he has to make some kind of economic
and poorly framed civil rights argument
against coronavirus, which is killing people left and right. I think one of the strongest
moments of the debate last night was when Biden said no people aren't learning to live with it.
They're learning to die with it. >> Yeah.
>> Yeah, that was a great line. And I will just say again something I've said 35 times on the
show since it happened. When Trump said the bleach thing, and the UV light thing.
Their defense was he was just kidding.
And as I will say as a horrendous and scary and deeply disturbing it is,
that the President could be so stupid, and have such little knowledge of science or medicine,
that he could say it seriously. It is objectively worse after tens of
thousands of Americans have died for him to joke about injecting bleach.
Anybody watching this has lost a friend or family member, I'm sure feels the same way. It's not
funny. It's not funny at all. We have debates about when something is too soon. I would argue
when we were halfway through the current death count, too soon, probably when people are dying.
People are dying as he was saying that. It's not funny. It's not fun. I'm not a professional
comedian or anything, but not really funny. >> But he also he wants you to think that
he's an expert. And he still during debate was saying things like, I think
we've got some fixes for this.
I think it hurts people this way and that way. No one's ever seen it, like at this point. And
there are a lot of moments that I think even the people who don't pay a lot of attention
to politics pick up, when Trump vaguely describes something sort of about the law.
There were moments where Biden says, no, here's a fact about the law he's talking about,
and then explains the law and the terms. That's someone I want, who has some working knowledge
of any of this. >> Not anything.
>> Not working and he doesn't have knowledge. >> Yeah, and he likes to say that he learned
a lot from having had coronavirus.
But I believe that honestly whatever he had learned was taken out of his brain as his
brain swelled from the fever. Yeah, he falsely claimed antibiotic treatment as
a cure. He falsely claimed that he's now immune. He falsely claimed the kids aren't
transmitting the disease to teachers. He misled about the timeline for a vaccine.
He falsely claimed that the spikes in Florida Texas and Arizona are gone. He lied and he lied
and he lied and he lied and he lied. That's what he did. That was the president in his last bid
to convince an incredibly skeptical public, that fundamentally doesn't trust him on the pandemic.
That is how he tried to win their support once again.
And I am fairly confident that it was a failure.
