white house? >> i think almost nothing. the people she wants to pay off are the heavily unionized big states that are in desperate trouble. new york, new jersey, illinois, california and the rest of the country has no interest in sending their money to pay off these terribly badly managed states and the fact is when you get 33% increase in your gross domestic product in one quarter you realize. there's a simple future. donald trumps stands for the inture with small business and real private sector jobs are the hardest and biden stands for a future in which paying off public employee unions is at the heart so very, very different vision of which america we will ffbe and my hunch is that the small business trump model beats the go biden bureaucratic unionized model with a pretty big b margin. >> you've expressed confidence just now about the president's response to the pandemic but mipoll after poll shows it has been a problem for him politically. do you just not believe the polls on that? >> look, i think anytime you have and this is the largest disruption of american life since world war ii. anytime you are the president with that

at one point as you remember better than anyone, new york was the epi center of the crisis here in the united states. how do you respond to the white house of staff mark meadows saying, i'm quoting him now, we are not going to control the pandemic. >> good to be with you, wolf. you know, in many ways, he finally answered the question. he answered the riddle, right? i couldn't understand why the white house was taking the tact they did from the very beginning of this. they had the january white house memo that said millions would be infected, the woodward interview where the president lied about the refusal to do masks. meadows answered it, saying we can't control the pandemic, we can control the vaccine, et cetera. they were wrong and it was a terrible tragic mistake they made. they believe you can't control the pandemic. it was preemptive capitulation. they never tried to control the spread. that's what they are saying to you. they were just wrong. you look at new york. we had the highest infection rate in the united states of america, if not the globe, and now one of the lowest infection rates in the nation. you can flatten the curve.
