=== Considerably More Kids Killed (05:49) ===

[00:00:00]  We did everything right, Susan.
[00:00:01]  We could still lose more than 200,000 Americans.
[00:00:03]  That's right, exactly.
[00:00:04]  That was my point to you.
[00:00:06]  When I said last hour, if there had been 100,000, she would go, 100,000 Americans, worst administration in history.
[00:00:16]  I wish he'd have pointed out how many we lost in 68, 69 and didn't shut down the society when kids were dying, which they're not now.
[00:00:25]  So I will get emails.
[00:00:26]  What are you talking about?
[00:00:28]  There was a kid in Detroit who died.
[00:00:33]  So one or two or three invalidates the point.
[00:00:43]  Considerably more kids are killed in car crashes than by COVID. Next, please.
[00:00:49]  Vice President Pence, you were in the front row in a Rose Garden event 11 days ago at what seems to have been a super spreader event for senior administration and congressional officials.
[00:00:58]  No social distancing, few masks, and now a cluster of coronavirus cases among those who were there.
[00:01:05]  How can you expect Americans to follow the administration's safety guidelines to protect themselves from COVID when you at the White House have not been doing so?
[00:01:15]  Okay.
[00:01:16]  Well, the American people have demonstrated He's now going to deal with the Rose Garden, but I have to say, I don't understand his answer.
[00:01:41]  Do you understand that answer?
[00:01:45]  Okay, thank you.
[00:01:47]  He did this repeatedly, and I think he was better than her, but he did it repeatedly.
[00:01:51]  He would say pablum and then make a great point.
[00:01:54]  And so then he'd be out of time as he's making his great point.
[00:01:59]  Okay, go on.
[00:02:00]  Now the answer to the Rose Garden question.
[00:02:03]  If I may say, that Rose Garden event, there's been a great deal of speculation about it.
[00:02:07]  My wife Karen and I were there, and honored to be there.
[00:02:10]  Many of the people who were at that event, Susan, actually were tested for coronavirus.
[00:02:15]  And it was an outdoor event, which all of our scientists regularly and routinely advise.
[00:02:20]  The difference here is President Trump and I trust the American people to make choices in the best interest of their health.
[00:02:29]  Joe Biden and Kamala Harris consistently talk about mandates, and not just mandates with the coronavirus, but a government takeover of health care, the Green New Deal.
[00:02:40]  All government control.
[00:02:42]  We're about freedom and respecting the freedom of the American people.
[00:02:44]  Why don't he just say that without the beginning thing?
[00:02:47]  The American people are wonderful and da-ba-da-ba-da-ba-da-ba-do.
[00:02:52]  Okay?
[00:02:52]  I don't want to be told I'm wonderful by any politician.
[00:02:55]  Okay?
[00:02:56]  It is of no interest to me whether you think I and the rest of the people are wonderful.
[00:03:02]  I hate Pablum.
[00:03:04]  From my side or the other side.
[00:03:07]  That is the point.
[00:03:09]  We don't want to take over your life.
[00:03:11]  We trust Americans to make good decisions.
[00:03:14]  That's the answer.
[00:03:16]  And it was outdoors.
[00:03:18]  It was a super spreader.
[00:03:21]  If it was a super spreader, how many people got hospitalized?
[00:03:27]  President is overweight and 74 and he's fine.
[00:03:32]  So then people, well, he got special treatment.
[00:03:34]  Okay, maybe so.
[00:03:36]  He wants the space he announced.
[00:03:38]  I want this treatment given to everybody, if that's what it takes.
[00:03:45]  But at least he's a living example of, whoa, it doesn't appear to be that serious in a lot of people who are otherwise candidates for very serious sickness or death.
[00:04:04]  That's right.
[00:04:05]  Next, please.
[00:04:06]  80. The American people have had to sacrifice far too much because of the incompetence of this administration.
[00:04:13]  It is asking too much of the people.
[00:04:15]  Okay.
[00:04:17]  Right.
[00:04:18]  The incompetence of this administration.
[00:04:21]  What would they have done differently?
[00:04:26]  And why were there more deaths per million in places like Belgium?
[00:04:30]  Are they more incompetent in Belgium?
[00:04:37]  Just to give one example, the United States is eighth in per million deaths.
[00:04:44]  That's on the assumption, by the way, that the numbers are accurate.
[00:04:47]  We'll know, and I said truth is number one on this program.
[00:04:52]  So we will know, and we won't know by the end of this year, we'll know by the end of next year, how many excess deaths occurred this year.
[00:05:03]  Then I would say that...
[00:05:04]  That would be an accurate number of COVID. Not excess deaths because of highway collisions.
[00:05:11]  Even though they are up, oddly enough.
[00:05:13]  Much less traffic and there are more highway fatalities, apparently.
[00:05:18]  Because people are driving at crazy speeds.
[00:05:21]  I mean, I do 80, I admit it.
[00:05:23]  I do admit it.
[00:05:25]  I don't do more than 80. But people are passing me constantly.
[00:05:29]  I'm going with the flow of traffic at 80. That's the point I'm making.

=== Calling By First Names (00:38) ===

[00:05:37]  All right.
[00:05:38]  Let's go.
[00:05:43]  Oh, yeah.
[00:05:44]  This was interesting.
[00:05:45]  Do 81. I'm sorry.
[00:05:47]  Kamala Harris.
[00:05:47]  Senator Harris, I mean.
[00:05:48]  I'm sorry.
[00:05:49]  It's fine.
[00:05:49]  I'm Kamala.
[00:05:50]  No, no.
[00:05:50]  Senator Harris to me.
[00:05:51]  I like that.
[00:05:53]  I like the moderator for saying that.
[00:05:57]  That is correct.
[00:06:02]  This was a new thing ushered in, I don't know, Bush administration?
[00:06:06]  I don't know, calling everybody by their first name.
[00:06:10]  It's just another deterioration.
