We're back and better than ever to talk about Dr. Fauci's testimony, the new coronavirus relief bill, Mitch McConnell, and the Supreme Court.
Full Transcript (edited for clarity):
Our first story of the day is Dr. Anthony Fauci’s testimony before Congress today to give an update on the coronavirus and how we’ve handled it. He warned against states and regions opening up too soon, and said that it could lead to an outbreak that would be uncontrollable, which would actually set us back because people would be even more scared and there would be more deaths. He also tried to lower expectations for the start of the school year in fall. Fauci said that it was obviously unlikely we’d have a vaccine, or enough of them I’m assuming, by that time, but that increased testing by that time could give people more peace of mind. Now, I’m glad that he’s still at least saying he’s optimistic about increased testing, but come on man, we’ve been promised more tests this entire time. Honestly, I don’t think anything he said should be a surprise or even newsworthy, but we still spend millions of dollars a year on ads telling morons not to drive drunk, so I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised that we’re where we are.
In terms of what’s next for you and your family in terms of financial help from the government, the Democrats in the House of Representatives just debuted their next spending bill, and it says here that it’s 1800 PAGES long! You can tell this was written by the Democrats because it includes help for state and local governments, includes hazard pay for some workers, forgiveness of student debt, funding for Medicare and Medicaid, help for farmers, protecting renters from landlords, and extending family and medical leave, among even more things I didn’t mention. However, of course, Mitch McConnell has said that he thinks it's unnecessary to start working on another relief package. He said he’s worried because we now have a debt the size of our economy. Are you kidding me? That’s like someone saying there’s no immediate need for toilet paper after they just used everything except the last square. You don’t get to pass tax cuts that create a trillion dollar deficit, try to suppress information on the coronavirus because you think it’ll hurt the economy, which actually hurts the economy more than it would have, and now you’re telling us you’re worried? He has to be doing this on purpose, because there’s no way anyone has this little self-awareness.
Now, if you thought Mitch McConnell was done being a clown: no, no, no, no. Apparently, he was determined to become the world's biggest clown and out-moron Trump because today he said that Barack Obama was, and this is an actual quote, “classless” for criticizing Trump’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic. Classless. Yes, classless and Trump were used in the same sentence. and it was not Trump who was being accused of being classless. I cannot even believe this. I mean there's a video put out by The Daily Show today of the entire right-wing beast (Fox News, etc.) criticizing Obama for using a selfie stick. It is absolutely amazing. I'm going to get the video for you because it is incredible what they said about Obama using a selfie stick. And now they're calling him classless because he told the truth; because he said that Trump is incompetent. Those aren’t his actual words, but he said something like Trump’s response made the outbreak much worse than it needed to be. It's times like these that I really, really wish Michelle Obama would be Joe Biden's vice president. Can you imagine that triple threat? Trump would not be able to contain himself. She is a woman, black, and her last name is Obama. Can you imagine? It would be the “Mexicans are rapists” plus making fun of the disabled reporter plus all the other racist stuff combined (it's weird that there's such a long list). I kind of hope for her sake though that she doesn’t take it. Why does she need to, first of all? Why d
