Are exactly three weeks to the election so strap yourselves in. Buckle up. We begin with this news breaking overnight. Drug maker Johnson Johnson has paused the Clinical Trial of its Coronavirus Vaccine because of an unexplained illness in one of the studys volunteers. The company didnt immediately say what happened to the person but remember, the vaccine requires just one dose, so federal officials were hoping it would be ready a bit faster than any others.

And weve got to remember, i said it right at the beginning, the cure cannot be worse than the problem itself. Cant. The cure cannot be worse. But if you dont feel good about it, if you want to stay, stay. Relax, stay. But if you want to get out there, get out. One thing with me, the

Wiping his nose, high fiving people, everything. And i i thought back to images of these troubling regimes that came in Turbulent Times. You know, you see the old black and white films of these crowds, of these mobs and you wonder what planet did they come from . And then you realize as youre watching it in real time that theyre from my home state. Yeah. And i really i am quite confident not 50 years from now or 20 years from now, but five years fro
