erts said. Can you name anything on that list that the experts said that wasn't obvious to you? Is there even one thing that they said that you didn't already know? It's crazy. These are our experts. They've got nothing for us. Nothing. Yeah, and they left out food. So basically the non-expert who said in the comments, "What about food?" gave a better answer than the experts. If you leave food o…

I would say this is Trump. This looks like one person. This poll looks like the effect of one insanely persuasive person, Trump mostly. Now you would say to yourself, but Scott, what about all the other people who also say similar things? To which I say, probably because of Trump, right?

All right, let me explain this. Let me give you a little lesson on leadership. When China originally got the coronavirus and we didn't know what we were dealing with, and we thought, wouldn't it be good to maybe keep that out of America until we figure out how bad it is — you know, because we didn't know, and day one we saw scary pictures — and then Trump fairly soon after closed travel. Now we could argue whether it was closed enough, but for my purposes he made a big difference at least in terms of the traffic.
And was it legal? Was it legal to close traffic? I don't know. But was i

t the right decision? Yes, of course yes. So the right decision if you're the leader is you stop the danger immediately. You stop the danger and then you figure out if you did it legally. That's the order of things. That's what leadership is. The whole point of a commander-in-chief is we say, you know what, there are going to be situations where you have to act fast and then we'll debate it later…
