Hey, pull up a chair. It's Hacks on Tap with David Axelrod and Mike Murphy.

Welcome, Hacker Rooz. This is a special extra edition. We're recording this on Friday, midday,

after we all got the late news that the president of the United States and the First Lady have

been tested positive for the COVID-19 virus. Boys, what does it mean for the campaign? I'm here

with... First of all, can I just say, can this get any freaking stranger? This whole thing is,

you could not Murphy gift it a screenwriter as you are. You could not have written this script

the way this thing is unfolding. It's incredible. No one would buy it because it wouldn't be nearly

plausible. Right. I mean, if you would pitch this as a movie 10 years ago, people would throw you out

of the business. You know, I mean, I've already got the next thing planned. Godzilla is going to come

into town with 500 aliens writing on them. People are going to be like, yeah, sure, that's another

crazy day. Yeah. And Trump will say, I warned you about those aliens. Yeah, exactly. So, but

they... Listen, we all... I mean, I went to bed thinking, boy, it's odd that the White House has not...

You know, they have quick tests over there that they've not released the results of this test.

And I woke up in the middle of the night thinking, I better check my phone because I have a bad

feeling about this. And sure enough, he tested positive. And obviously, the big question for the

hacks is, what does it mean? I mean, let us first certify that we are thoughts are with the

president and the first lady. Hope they make a speedy recovery. But, you know, this is another

seismic event in a campaign that's been filled with them. Yeah, we have a traditional October,

earthquake surprise, about every 100 hours on this campaign. Yeah, I know that's why we...

Hacks on tapers now are now hacks on call. That's what we're going to call us for the rest of the race.

We're ready to speculate because we all are proud graduates of the Hacks School of Medicine.

So we're high-exactly. To make speculative insights here. So we'll start. Go ahead.
