Advancements possible. And on testing the American People, really deserve to know. When we began, as he said, mr. President , literally a standing start. We didnt have information on the coding of the coronavirus until midfebruary. But americas cdc labs and Public Health labs did their level best, and by the end of february, we had done less than 10,000 coronavirus tests, but as you Just Announced a few months ago, we cleared 100 million tests all across the country. Its extraordinary. We have the capacity to do that. It is a testament to American Innovation in the leadership that you have provided. Also, we delivered to nearly 14,000 Nursing Homes in america pointofcare tests, making it possible for us to really keep focus on the most vulnerable. As you know, only 8 of those who have contracted the coronavirus are in Nursing Homes, but 40 of those that have lost their lives have been in Nursing Homes, so we have surged those resources and the vulnerable populations, but with the announcement today, Abbott Laboratories tests, we began a process, first announcing 50 million tests to go to her vulnerable communities, to go to minority communities. Indian health services, but as we told all the nations governors today, we begin the process this week of distributing 100 million tests to see to each state and territory in the country free of charge, so they can begin to deploy those tests to the priority of the state has said, but given the extraordinary capacity that we have in testing today, we have expressed the hope to all the governors today that they would particularly use these abbott tests to open up americas schools and keep them open. We heard about the enthusiasm of governors on both sides of the aisle about what this test will mean in helping the process. Helping the process the testing that will get our kids into school and keep our kids in school. Mr. President , let me just close by saying we have passed through a challenging time in this nation. In our hearts, and your heart is with all the families who have suffered loss, but as you said, cases are declining. Hospitalizations have been declining. Declining dramatically. Particularly in the sun belt. In louisiana, not long ago, 50 parishes have more than 10 positivity rate. Now, only three parishes are testing positive over 3 . Arizona is testing for 20 positivity right now. Now it is less than 4 consistently. But with cases rising in ten states in the midwest, and in the near west, and with this historic advance in testing that is being distributed, 150 strong around the country, mr. President , the American People should anticipate that cases will rise in the days ahead. But as we as we more readily identify those who have contracted the coronavirus, the American People can be confident. Because of this extraordinary and historic public and private partnership that you forged. Because of this whole government approach, we are ready. As we proved through the outbreak in the sun belt the summer. We will make sure that any community, any state that is impacted, any school that is impacted will have that ppe, the supplies, the medicines, and as you said, mr. President , we will continue, at your direction, relentless drive toward achieving the first safe and effective vaccine so we can achieve the day that we once and for help with this coronavirus in the past. Mr. President , with thanks to our industry partners, things to you for your strong leadership. I hope for that day, and the American People can be confident. We will not arrest or relent until we put this coronavirus in the past. President trump thank you very much, mike. Scott, did you want to say a few words as to how we are doing and where you see us going . Okay, thank you, mr. President. And i also want to echo the congratulations to the team, the task force. In particular, working very hard on the testing. This is a remarkable day because we have stateoftheart testing. This is not the typical pointofcare testing. This is new. It does not require any kind of machine. It is very rapid. This is not one of those deep swab things that people are reluctant to use, so i think we are really making an advance here to do what testing is supposed to do, and that is to save lives. As the Vice President mentioned, we know that there are areas of the country that have more cases. This is to be expected. With more social mingling. And that testing, but particularly protecting the vulnerable is the key here. We have not seen hospital overcrowding. Doubling down now with testing to protect Vulnerable People not just inside Nursing Homes but in residential centers, day care centers, this is a remarkable advance, and i anticipate as this my wrist as we get towards the end of this pandemic, the vaccine is being developed as quickly as it has been, america will be in a different position, and there really should be, as i have said many times, fear is not the issue here. We really have a handle on what is going on, we know what you anticipate, remarkable advances being made as we see today. President trump president u very much. I say it all the time. We are rounding the corner. Very important, we are rounding the corner, regardless. The vaccines are coming. They are coming fast. We have four great companies, and it will be here very rapidly. In vital stages of testing. We are hearing that the results are going to be very extraordinary, so, thank you very much. I appreciate it, and thank you very much. Great job by abbott. Right from the very beginning, great job. Thank you very much, everybody. Neil all right, we were told that he might take some questions. Here he is being shouted at. Some of the questions that came up, going back a couple of decades. Suffice it to say that the president really wanted to talk about progress on the virus. At least two states in this country. Florida and indiana are almost back to prepandemic levels, so the president wanted to make sure people knew that and not necessarily go on and on about his taxes. What he paid and when, to whom and why, and where that will go. No doubt an issue for the debate tomorrow. Welcome, everyone. Im neil cavuto, and this is your world. First, some signs of progress in this country has a number of cases continues to decline, and the worrisome positivity rate, despite some spikes in the midwest, have gone down precipitously if you know, there some states where it has now gotten up to worrisome levels. We are going to detail that in just a second. Going down to Kristin Fisher in the rose garden where the president is just wrapping up. Hey, neil, President TrumpJust Announced a big expansion of coronavirus testing. 150 million rapid pointofcare test from abbott, and i want to break this down a little bit further for you because the biggest headline here is that 100 million of these tests are going to be sent straight to governors, which they are then going to distribute your schools, and the president says that this is going to allow every teacher who wants a test, k12, to get one. And it is also going to be an additional 50 million test is going out to more vulnerable populations. Nursing homes, assisted living communities, and hcpus as well. The governor of mississippi got up, and he called this announcement today, a game changer. He says that what this means for teachers and his state is that testing will be available for k12 teachers every single day going forward. This event, though, billed as an update on the countrys coronavirus testing come up over this even started, as no surprise, you have the dnc coming out, putting out a statement that it is going to be hard to give an update, given the fact that they say there is no National Strategy here, but the person who has really been in charge of the countries testing, he got up and demonstrated how these rapid pointofcare tests, how easy they are, and the president said he believed that they are able to announce that they do have a vaccine, finally, he believes that this is going to be one of the biggest days, if not the biggest dates for the white houses efforts to fight the pandemic until that announcement about a vaccine one more thing, neil. There were several people that got up to speak today, including a newer member, dr. Scott atlas. Very notable that on a day as big as this, saying that this is the biggest day for the white house and its it should be notable that some significant members of the White House Task force were not here. There was no dr. Fauci. The head of the cdc was not there. Nor was ahead of the fda. B19. Neil you know, i believe that there was some concern that the cdc director that the president might be getting some incorrect information. All figures seem to point to your doctor atlas. Do we know anything about that or whether they are it kind of depends on who you talk to. I will say, though, there was a report, and nbc News Reporter was overheard, dr. Redfield, the head of the cdc, making a phone call on public flight overheard him saying that everything that dr. Atlas said is wrong. That is according to this nbc news report. The cdc pushed back, saying that the reporter had no way of knowing who exactly dr. Redfield was talking about on the other line, but also, the cdc then went on to kind of go point by point and explain why dr. Dr. Redfield disagrees with dr. Atlas on a variety of points, on the efficacy of mas masks, to the potential benefits of herd immunity. Things of that natures. So there is definitely some tension between the two. Dr. Scott alice today congratulated the president , but dr. Redfield, not here. Neil. Neil very interesting here in Kristin Fisher, thank you very, very much. I want to go now to the former health and Human Services secretary. Thank you for taking the time. Do you know did you encounter the sort of thing as well where you know, not everyone is certainly on the same page or these charges that were out there, there might be nothing to them, that some are saying that false information is getting out there. Do you know anything about that . Not from the inside there, but i will speak to an issue that we have talked about before, and that this is a new disease, so there are a lot of unknowns, which is what gives folks the pause that they have. This announcement today was really important because it hits out the diagnosis, being able to tell who has active disease, and then being able to make certain that those are the individuals that are isolated or quarantined. The tracking that is so important, that will continue to allow us to have the numbers come down. Neil you know, it is weird, secretary, that no dr. Fauci, no dr. Birx. All of these briefings no it is like wheres waldo . Whats going on . [laughs] i dont have any inside knowledge about that. I know that the president likes people around him who are supportive of the kinds of things that he wants to do, but i know that dr. Fauci and dr. Birx have been absolutely integral and the policies that have been put forward. I dont know if they are at the meetings there with the Vice President , but they are valued members of our society and very, very instrumental in making certain that we get through this process in a positive way. Neil all right. The reason i miss dominic mentioning it, i know the overall case is the country are stabilizing, but we have seen some spikes in the midwest. Along with some hospitalizations and the latest sevenday period north dakota, the positive test rate and the latest week is averaging 30 , versus 6 with the prior week. These are still low numbers. In south dakota, 26 versus 70 the prior week here in minnesota and montana also seeing spikes. Neil on how the president is handling it, this whole process, he would give himself an a . Would you give the president and a . I think everybody that has been involved with this, when they look back on the activities of the past six to eight months, with say that we have been able to know this at this time, then we might have been able to do something different. This is a new disease, and so you cant know everything at the beginning. There are things that we dont know right now. We dont know which vaccine will be most helpful. We dont know that some of them might not be helpful at all. We dont know how the virus is changing and very specific ways, so thats why its important to continue the medication, hand washing, the physical distancing, the utilization of masks to decrease the likelihood of that transmission. The historians will write something about how we got there all of this and a positive way, but there is no way to know the end of the story had. Neil but with over 200,000 americans dead, and we can argue over those particulars, is not worthy of an a . Well, i will let others score that president on the activity. I do know that the individuals with whom i worked at hhs within the administration were just doing as much as they cut every single day to protect the health and safety of the American People, and they continue to do so, south of the folks that are on the front lines not just in the government, but that our hospitals and Health Care Facilities across this country, the first responders, all of those individuals, working just as hard as they can to get us there it. Neil all right. Thank you for taking the time. We appreciate that. A quick peek. We will take a fast break here. You wouldnt believe that was one of the builders ive appear talk that there could be a coronavirus stimulus measure after all. Nancy pelosi and Steven Mnuchin are resuming their telephone calls to one another, and we are told that they are close to something, so its not necessarily a dead issue here, so we will be following up on that. Technology stocks as well. Now we are getting a few more details about what Mitch Mcconnell plans to do about the nomination. Hes going to meet with her tomorrow.

This is where i want to be. Talk to your doctor and ask if latuda could make the difference youve been looking for in your bipolar depression symptoms. Neil all right. Theyre not wasting any time here sooner has the president announced that judge that judge Amy Coney Barrett will be his choice to fill Ruth Bader Ginsburg seat on the court appear in making the rounds tomorrow, meeting with the Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell. Also, Senate Majority whip, of south dakota. Senator, very good to have you. So, i know that some of your democratic counterparts including Chuck Schumer have new interest in meeting her. How do you feel about that . I think its unfortunate. I think they would find a very qualified jurist, somebody who has the work ethic. She does the work. She has been a judge o on the seventh Circuit Court for some time and authored several opinions. Dissenting opinions. I think weve found out in that time, neil, that she somebody who respects the constitution, the law, precedent, and is very vigilant about making sure that they are applied in an evenhanded way, so i think its unfortunate that that my democratic colleagues are refusing to even entertain the thought of meeting with her. This is an important seat. It is one that we are going to move forward with, and i think it would be to their benefit at least to say to the American People that they did Due Diligence to provide consent. Neil the general view is that republicans will vote for her by and large. Maybe every single one of them. Democrats will vote against her, but she might be able to secure a seat when she was put before the center for the Circuit Court of appeals. She might get some democratic votes. I believe she got at least three. Do you envision any of your democratic colleagues supporting her nomination . I would say i would hope that that would be the case, neil. She it is going to be very hard to argue that she isnt qualified, and in terms of temperament and judicial philosophy, she is exactly the kind of justice you would want to see. Not that that is the criteria upon which you would make a determination whether or not to put her on the supreme court, but i think that the American People are going to find somebody who was a lot like them. Raising a big family, committed to family, faith, and takes very seriously the awesome responsibility that she has not only now to serve on the Appellate Court but hopefully ultimately serve on the supreme court. You would think that that would win over a democrat or two. This is just my guess. I think the leadership and in a lot of ways, the de facto leader, aoc, and the far left, really you wagging the dog right now, and i dont think you want neil they argue this is just desserts for mar it loos like it is going to be nasty. Has that judge been prepared for that . She had tough questions. They all kind of went after her for her catholic faith, and i think she is prepared to answer the hard questions. She will perform extremely well in a very difficult set of circumstances because the democrats are going to come after her hard, but in the end, she is going to prove that she is very able and qualified for this job, and i think she will have a lot of allies, not only incentive but around the country when people get an opportunity to observe her in action. Neil all right, all of this doable by election day . Yeah, we want to make sure that we give fair consideration. There is ample time now. Frankly, one of the reasons that we waited to start hearings until october 12 is so that every democrat who wanted to would have an opportunity to meet with the judge, but if they are going to refuse that opportunity, that is their option, obviously, but the number of days that are allowed for the hearings and demand that reporting of the judge on the floor and the time that it will take, i think it is certainly possible that we could complete action on this towards the end of october review that would be my hope. Ultimately, we will see what happens, neil. Neil all right, thank you, senator johnson, very, very much. She will be making her rounds. Tomorrow. On capitol hill. All right, in the meantime, much ado about the president s taxes. How can you go so many years without paying your taxes . Actually, in the real estate and entertainment industry, it is more common then you know. Forget about whether it is legal. Is it just the way it is . After this. I was sworn into the United States senate in a hospital. My wife and daughter had been killed in an automobile crash, and lying in the bed were my two little boys. I couldnt have imagined what it wouldve been like if i didnt have insurance to cover them immediately and fully. Forty years later, one of those little boys, my son beau, was diagnosed with terminal cancer, given months to live. I cant fathom what would have happened if the Insurance Companies had the power to say, the last few months, youre on your own. The fact of the matter is health care is personal to me. Obamacare is personal to me. When i see the president of the United States try to eliminate this health care in the middle of a Public Health crisis, thats personal to me too. Weve got to build on what we did because every american deserves Affordable Health care. Im joe biden and i approve this message. And then what happened . Wheres our family from . Was he my age . So nana and pops eloped . And then what happened, daddy . Well, before us, there were your great, great, great grandparents. Turn questions youve always had into stories you cant wait to share; with ancestry. Neil how do you prep for the big event . You are looking life at cleveland. Chris wallace moderated president ial debate. I want you to meet a guy that has been involved in ten campaigns and ten big debates. After this. [szasz] we take care of ourselves constantly; its important. We walk three to five times a week, a couple miles at a time. Weve both been taking prevagen for a little more than 11 years now. After about 30 days of taking it, we noticed clarity that we didnt notice before. Its still helping me. I still notice a difference. Prevagen. Healthier brain. Better life. Neil over the president s taxes, a lot of people looking at it, it doesnt make sense, or a guy who made this much money over the course of his career had multiple years where he didnt pay any taxes at all, but if you know the complexity of the tax code and what it allows, you discover that donald trump would have plenty of company and companies, rich individuals and companies that do not pay federal income taxes when they are allowed to write off for research and development. That is a core here and an issue that i want to raise with a former Deputy Assistant attorney. Berkeley law professor as well. The first reaction, how does that happen . I know so Many Companies by the way, they dont pay taxes simply because the tax code allows them to write off large investments, including debts, so that they dont pay taxes. It doesnt mean that they dont and other forms. Medicarerelated taxes, but that is a big surprise to a lot of people, when it is far more common than we know, but it is a political issue for the president , nevertheless. How do you think, legally, he responds . First, people should realize, to your point, neil, the constitution does not permit us to tax people based on their wealth. It is on income. It depends on how much money you make yeartoyear, and notice we dont have the returns themselves. Only the New York Times story about them, but they suggest that President Trump is really good at losing a lot of money. One year, he lost 900 million, and under the tax code, you are allowed to Carry Forward those losses to claim it against your liabilities, and it may yield zero taxes for that year. There are a lot of taxes that companies and employers pay that dont come up in income tax. How much you make as the owner of the company when you pay fica, medicare, Social Security taxes. There is a lot that you may end up paying that dont show up in your income tax. Politically, i wish he had released his tax returns a long time ago so that the political impact of this is not up to somebody who leaks them illegally right before the first debate with joe biden. Neil im just curious, though, for companies and individuals that have done the same thing, and we dont know all the details here, but do you know that he racked up a lot of losses, accumulated a lot of debts if we are going to believe the New York Times, hes facing hundreds of millions of dollars in debt. And if he is not reelected, hes going to be facing that very, very quickly. There are distinctions made, whether you have to pay that if you are present, versus a private citizen, but if he was facing hundreds of millions of debt, and his name is behind that, can staying in an office stave off day of reckoning . What he is trying to do is hes tried to separate his businesses and put them in a separate and under with his children. He is not supposed to be making those kinds of business decisions. He can ask, i suppose, for some kind of forbearance in the collection of the loans, but what might have to happen is his organization and family might have to start selling off properties in order to pay off their loans or perhaps to refinance the loans. Everybody else is refinancing their mortgages right now. Maybe the Trump Organization and ask for refinancing of those loans after he leaves office. Neil all right. We will watch it closely. Thank you so much. Just wanted to get the legal perspective. So much we dont really know. Looking at these returns. But to immediately assume whats going on here is illegal might be a leave. We are getting ready of course for the big debate coming up tomorrow night. How do you get ready for that . When we come back, the guy who has helped candidates dating back to Geraldine Ferraro, prepare for the epic moment, by playing the person they are up against. After this. Robinhood believes now is the time to do money. Without the commission fees. So, you can start investing today wherever you are even hanging with your dog. So, what are you waiting for . Download now and get your first stock on us. Robinhood. Neil all right. They are all set in cleveland, ohio, for the big debate tomorrow night. Donald trump, joe biden. How they get ready for that is anyones guess. They keep things pretty close to the vest, but peter doocy has been looking at how things are right now at the big event. Peter. Speak up and neil, we are getting a new look at what joe biden on offense may look like. There is a new ad that is focused on the New York Times tax bombshell that was posted last night, and you can see the Biden Campaign tries to compare some bluecollar income tax bills. In recent years, he has paid as little as 750 in income tax. Joe biden could go there, but somewhere he is not going to go, a drug testing facility. He was offering up a sample and daring him to do the same, publicly accusing him of using performance enhancers. Vice President Biden intends to deliver his debate answers and words. If the president thinks is best case is made in urine, they can have at it. They are going to do separate walkthroughs tomorrow, but when they are both out there at the same time, now handshakes. Not even an elbow bum. It is a covid19 consideration, and they will not wear masks once the show starts. Biden says he is bracing for mostly personal attacks. He doesnt have any events today remaining in delaware tonight. He is going to fly this way tomorrow, and then after the debate is all finished, when makes his way back east towards home in delaware, he is going to be taking a train as part of a Train Campaign to her. Neil. Neil all right. Peter doocy. Thank you very, very much, so how do you prepare for this . Normally, someone plays the role of his opponent so that they can go back and forth. No one in the history of modern day politics has played that adversary role then my next guest. After this. It happens to all of us. We buy a new home, and we turn into our parents. What i do is help new homeowners overcome this. What is that, an adjustable spanner . Good choice, steve. Okay, dont forget youre not assisting him. You hired him. If you have nowhere to sit, you have too many. Who else reads books about submarines . My dad. Yeah. Oh, those are progressive cant protect you from becoming your parents, but we can protect your home and auto when you bundle with us. Look at that. When you bundle with us. Alits just more information; have a dexcom because why wouldnt you want that . Being able to see your numbers in real time gives you the knowledge to see the future. Its awesome. Dexcom showed me that i was doing a dip and then a spike in the middle of the night, which allowed me to adjust my basal rates im not waking up in the middle of the night and my numbers arent going crazy. Now you are in control and that is so powerful. Because it strengthens prop 13 for seniors, disabled veterans, wildfire victims, and family farmers. Prop 19 also protects the right of parents to pass on the family home to their children at the current property tax rate. You worked hard for your house and you should be able to give it to your children without a tax penalty. Thats why taxpayer advocates, firefighters, veterans, and Small Business owners are voting yes on prop 19. Neil all right, tomorrow is a big president ial debate. How do you get ready for a big night like this . We are told that each campaign is utilizing those folks that are going to be stand ins and sort of throwing back the questions and the responses that you will get from your likely opponent. The fellow who played that role in at least ten campaigns dating back to 1976 joins us right now. Bob burnett is his name. He has helped candidates over many, many years from Geraldine Ferraro to bill clinton, lori clinton, barack obama. Full disclosure here. He is my attorney. It is not about politics. Only business. Great to have you with us. Neil, thank you for having me. Neil help me with this. How do you think each candidate is prepping for this . You have ben an that stand in role as the opponent, but how do you think they get ready . The key to this, neil, is to devise a preparation process. So, for instance, when we were preparing geraldine for rrl, you had one kind of process. She wasnt deeply involved in many of the issues. Though clinton in 192, steeped in policy as they come, and also multiple primary debates. Its a different system. Fundamentally, a system for the candidates. You start with that candidate, hone it, edit it. Get the answers down to 60 or 90 seconds. You practice at the table. Then you do fall 90 minute practice debates. The myth that the president s campaign is putting out that he is not practicing, i would be skeptical of that. This is a big event. Neil you know, do they ever take offense when you are in that role, playing the opponent, that im sure you do your own research, that you can get pretty nasty. Do they take offense to that . Do they got hot under the coll collar . Neil again, Geraldine Ferraro, dear, dear friend. Miss her every day. She got quite upset at me when i said that Herbert Walker bush would smack her on certain issues. She would walk over and slugged me, and i had a black and blue right arm. [laughs] neil who are these debates work . Do they move the needle . So many people are set in their ways. Very few undecided. Can they, will they move the needle . They can. I think the Vice President ial debate with then senator bob dole was worth two or three percentage points, the research showed. I think you could look at 1992. Does debates that bill clinton had with ross perot and george Herbert Walker bush were probably a big factor in his ultimate dream. Three audiences for these debates. There is the audience in the hall. This time, no audience in the hall. Second, people watching the debate. Watching it at home, looking out the 90 minutes or some part thereof. The people who just dont have time to watch because they are working or busy or dealing with child care, and they want to stay the afterthefact coverage. In some ways, it is the third audience that is as important. I think the actual debates could get 100 million people, but i think the aftereffect will be in multiples of that. That makes the role of the press and the pond and so critically important because what they pick up will be with those people see and what impression is created, so the debates can make a difference, but they also dont always make a difference. I think by anybodys fair account, Hillary Clinton won all three in 2016. Not that call in polls with the scientific goals, but she still didnt win the electoral college, so it didnt move the needle enough to give those folks what they wanted. Neil the president disagrees with a summation of some of those debates, and one of the things that came up was that he was slightly more likable than Hillary Clinton. People can argue that, but the possibility that these are judged on intangibles like likability, Ronald Reagan was jimmy carter. It seemed like an affable alternative to a president who was very unpopular. John kennedy against richard nixon. Rather than this young, inexperienced guy going up against the Vice President , seems like a pretty smooth alternative to that at the time, so, how much of that goes into this whole process . The likability factor. Likability is important. This is somebody youre going to see it for four years in your living room. Constantly. Everywhere. But this time, neil, i think its a little different than many times in the past and the debates i worked on. What do i mean . People know these two candidates quite well. Donald trump, they knew as a reality show last, and now they know him for years as president. Joe biden has a 40 plus year career, including hundreds, if not thousands of television appearances, so i think the likability factor is kind of big dan, and i think theres another thing too, and that is that these kind of things, like likability or the zingers or the oneliners will be probably less important than in the past because i call it the day after test. I think that people are going to make their judgments on what their life is like the day after the debate. Whether they are remotely schooling their child, searching for a job because they are unemployed, weather, god forbid, they are fighting a dreaded disease. I think that is going to be more important than these things like likability, zingers, oneliners. Ultimately, that is what is going to decide the selection here not to minimize the debate. Hopefully if chris does a good job and the other moderators do, and three of them i know very well, and i have every confidence that they will, this will be an informative process, not a circus. Neil joe biden has been painted as mr. Magoo by the president. Will that help or hurt him . There is always this expectation game. But i think that the president has made a strange decision to try to minimize joe bidens abilities, lowering the bar for joe biden. That puzzles me. Im not sure why he did it. It puzzles his advisors also. Neil all right, very good catching up with you, my friend. I dont believe anyone has been involved in so many of the debates, either eating, helping. Fascinating like back in time. In the meantime, a fascinating look back at the market that came roaring back today. Why . After this.

One thing i will say is the debate is going to be important. It looks like joe biden can really hold his own in the debate, you could see the market selloff because then you have to start factoring in biden presidency and the senate turning democratic and thats a whole change in fiscal policy. But still, the markets not convinced joe biden is going to win just yet. That fear of running the table is the concern out there but let me ask you, a firm that said the economy will do just fine under joe biden. Dont worry about it. Came out of the blue. Where did that come from . Moodys often like democrats because they raise taxes and they pay down their debt. At least thats the theory. I dont care who you are, the markets will have to adjust to fiscal policy changes if the democrats run the senate, have the house and have the presidency, no doubt. Is in the long term they wont come back but they will have to adjust to that so to be higher taxes, more regulation, there has to be an adjustment that even if you have 0 interest rates.
