his in another context. As impossible as this might seem, by November we might be kind of over the coronavirus. I don't mean over it medically. I don't mean over it in terms of the economy being back to normal. We won't be over it in terms of what it's doing to us. But quoting my late mother who taught me one of the most valuable things you'll ever know about people, and it goes like this: if you…

So here's the correlation. People who were interested in magic tricks when they were kids, watch for this correlation, they're less easily fooled by fake news because they're just primed for it.
All right. The best Freudian slip of the day was Kamala Harris referring to, quote, a Harris administration, and then she corrected it, "together with Joe Biden." So here's what she'll do with a Harris administration, uh, together with Joe Biden.

So I think she has revealed that at the very least there's a conversation going about getting rid of Biden or how long he'll last or something along those lines.
There's a story which didn't get big news. I don't know if the major news covered it. But there is a research institute and a researcher who is making a claim that the coronavirus that came out of the, allegedly came out of the Wuhan lab, had to be artificial.

claim that it could not have been a naturally occurring virus and that she can tell you exactly how they made it. Now that's a pretty big claim. Not only is she saying that it's man-made but she's claiming she could make it herself. In other words she already knows the components. If you take this, you take this, I think she said in six months you could make this thing. Is that true? Well I don't…
