alliance with media to try and get joe biden elected. that's obviously what is happening. the tech companies are very much reflecting the bias of their own employees. 90% plus of their own workers far left democrats the private sector companies you can't do anything about that. the last problem is if joe biden does get elected in this climate will really undermine his legitimacy. people say look, that election, it was certainly a free election is a perfectly good democratic process. it was not fair. there really wasn't the scrutiny of the other side. kennedy: that is such a great word, scrutiny and skepticism are missing right now. and they are sorely missed. i hope at some point they make a comeback. i hope you come back very soon, i door you so much steve hilton, thank you so very much. coming up about legendary neil tyson, he says that asteroid could hit earth before election day. because of 2020. how worried should we be? go get your disposable matches and inflatable robots, i will ask the man myself, next. daddy, is that where we're from? well, actually...we're from a lot of places. you see we're from here and there and here... your family's story is waiting to be shared.
