Welcome everybody. Oh my gosh. Can you feel it? Can you feel less than a week?

What are we now? Five days away from the big day and I'm feeling good about it. I'm not overconfident, but I'm not underconfident.

It's going to be close, but I think the good guys win. We all know what that means.

We got quite a boost today to that end from the latest data about GDP growth in the third quarter.

Q3 US GDP boom in at 33.1% which is incredible.

They had the worst ever quarter in Q2. Now they've had what I believe is the strongest ever quarter in Q3.

Yes indeed. So we've gone from the worst quarter to the best quarter. This is really meaningful.

For one, it gives us some real data. It gives some real teeth to the claim made by Donald Trump that the economy is in a period of comeback now.

All we have to do is understand that the president's economic policies for the first three years of his presidency were astonishingly successful, setting all kinds of records.

And then it is a tragedy, a global pandemic hit. I think we overreacted as a society to the way we should have dealt with this global pandemic instead of taking it place by place and looking at the data and adjusting as we went along.

We went for this extended severe lockdown and now we're going into another series of lockdowns.

But the point is it wasn't a failure of Trump's approach to the economy that caused the downturn this year. We all know what it was.

It was COVID-19. It was a pandemic that has hit the rest of the Western world with a ferocity. It hit China badly.

Some other countries haven't been hit quite the same way usually because they have either a population that is just generally less susceptible.
