ug—not earplug, a what do you call it—a headphone except it sits outside your ear but my understanding is although it’s outside the ear like an earring that’s got a little speaker thing that’s pointing toward your ear so only you can hear it. Now there’s a picture of that device that has that quality that it’s a like a headphone thing. Yeah and I’m seeing—oh here here it goes and here’s a picture. Here’s a picture of it. You see that? So that’s a picture that is exactly the earbud headphone thing. So if this is a real picture she was definitely wearing an earbud. Is it a real picture? No of course not. No that’s not a real picture. If you see the real picture it’s she’s not wearing those. That’s a photoshopped picture. Very photoshopped. Now I was lucky enough that I saw the real one like half a minute before I saw the photoshopped one so you know you could see what happened. Yeah it was a Photoshop. I guarantee it. It was a Photoshop.

All right. But we’re—there’s always that hoax. Every time there’s one of these debates there’s always the somebody was giving her the answer hoax.

Let’s talk about the fake fact-checking by the hosts. David Muir. So he challenged—Trump said you said you lost by a whisker but all the other times you said you had been cheated. So did you change your opinion and believe that you did really lose? And Trump said that you know he was being sarcastic when he said he lost by a whisker. Now that’s what I thought. I said it actually in advance. I said that when he said I lost by a whisker that he was sort of you know joking and the implication was that they cheated. So he said lost by a whisker just sort of being jokingly sarcastic about it. Now that’s exactly how I interpreted it but I’m also aware that if you’re coming from a different perspective you wouldn’t necessarily interpret it that way.

So David Muir decides to fact-check him by saying you know we checked all the video and it didn’t sound sarcastic to me. To which I said wait a minute. One person’s opinion of what somebody’s thinking is not a fact check. What kind of fact check is that? My opinion of what you were thinking when the person just told you what they were thinking. Now you don’t fact-check somebody’s internal thoughts in a debate for president. You’re going to let the fine people hoax just go by but you’re going to fact-check him on what you believe he was secretly thinking? Oh my God that’s just so on the nose corrupt. It’s incredible.

Let me give you a little—I don’t know why I need to tell you this but somehow it seems relevant. I once spent the whole day with David Muir. So a number of years ago he was still with ABC and he came out to where I lived and hung out with me all day to do a story on my voice because you know I had that voice problem for a while. And ABC did a nice special on you know this condition and helped me promote that there’s a cure for it now. So ABC News and David Muir specifically did a very useful valuable thing for a number of people because to the extent that people found out there was a cure for it they probably went out and got it. Some of them anyway. So he’s you know if I can judge him from that one experience very nice guy. Enjoyed talking to him totally. And he did a valuable thing for people and it really mattered. I mean it really really mattered if they got fixed. So there’s that.

Now there’s one other interesting thing that happened that day. So I was married to my first wife then and we went to dinner to continue the conversation. And as we’re driving to dinner my ex-wife, first ex-wife, was telling a story about somebody she knows and it was a longish story about somebody he doesn’t know and just somebody that the two of us know. We get to this restaurant and we get seated and we’re sitting right next to the guy we’ve been talking about in the car for the last hour in the restaurant. And we had—go you know David you know that guy we were just talking about for an hour? That’s him right there. And he was like what? Yeah you know the guy we just talked about for an hour we just sat down next to him. He’s right there. We go hey how you doing. That really happened. To this day I can’t—it’s one of the freakiest things that’s ever happened to me. So when I see David Muir I think about that weird simulation experience. Anyway that’s enough about me.

Let’s talk about—I know I’m going to get hammered for this but I’m going to do it anyway because I just have this need. So there’s a question about babies being born alive and then Trump’s claim that the doctor can basically kill them or let them die after they’re born alive. Now the Democrats and also David Muir I believe fact-checked that and said no that doesn’t happen. There’s no example. It just doesn’t happen. That’s just not true.

So I have a take on what’s true and it’s real interesting because it’s almost like both sides are using the same language but they’re somehow ignoring part of it or something. Here’s what I believe to be true. That if there’s an abortion and it would normally—if the baby is old enough to have some viability there’s probably some medical reason for the mother, not necessarily but there might be. But that when the baby is born the examples given of where they were in fact alive after they were aborted they were not viable. Meaning that they might only have a few hours to have a heartbeat and there’s nothing you could do. Now is that how you understand it or do you understand that some of those babies could have a long healthy life if they just put their effort into it? My understanding is that although in the medical community people can be wrong—you know you probably are aware that one of the biggest causes of death are medical mistakes. You all know that. Did you know that just in general, forget about abortion, in general one of the biggest ways that people die is that the hospital, the doctor made a mistake. Very very common
