If you need help to hear it, just ask.

ETA: If you cannot hear the file or download it, I can upload it and give you all access. So far, it's not too interesting, just standard Trump BS.

Hearing Mikey's over the top positivity, really working over stupid people with this!
Even made convalescing sound fun and rosy!

Cover the ugly side of your agenda, one time Mikey?

Early Mikey, oh yeah early is not a good look for you guys?

Operation MAGA!

Only at 13:00, but made it through more than half, good luck everyone!

Done with this BS.

All positive, COVID getting better.... "open up America, open up schools"

Operation MAGA: full deployment of Pence and allies, virtual and in-person events to keep momentum going (GAG)

still listening.... sorry, had to fix my OP

Pence talking about how great 45 is doing, thanking everyone 1 million times, saying how deeply moved 45 is esp for everyone's prayers (right), thanking for staying in the fight ...

- and 7 minutes in it went dead.

Bill and Pence both said how great he was doing, couldn't wait to get back to WH, etc. Both had talked to him, Bill said he had ideas about the campaign.

Stepien more than Pence.

Stepien: I spoke to the President, he sounds great, is full of new ideas...

Pence is trying too hard to sound upbeat, and the result is a bit phony.

Pence: I'm grateful to all of you... We'll deliver a great, great victory... Let's check in with the team...

Pence: I've spoken to the president several times... Trump is grateful for the expressions of concern and especially prayers... He's been very moved by all of it... (he recaps the presser at Walter Reed).

Pence is in contact with Trump's physicians. Trump is impatient to get out. He got up very early this morning.

(a bunch of jingoism and pablum)

Pence: First lady is doing great, convalescing. Thank you for your deep concern, prayers, thanks for staying on the job. We need to fight for Trump... (Pence sounds a bit lackluster here)

Pence: Keep our heads down and stay in the fight and express boundless confidence...

(It's a pep speech)

Pence: The President is determined to win this fight against the coronavirus. I attended a Task Force meeting today and Americans are for the first time hearing about amazing medicines like Remdesivir, we've provided PPE, we've done millions of tests, we are distributing 150 million rapid tests...

(A bunch of crap about how Trump is "leaning in" to destroy the virus)

Now Pence talks about the economy. "It's coming back!'

Pence: After Trump gets the right treatment and gets back on his feet we will carry forward the message. We truly believe that with 4 more years of Trump in the WH we can have the greatest economic year ever.

Pence: Join the fight to defeat the virus! Wash your hands on a regular basis, use a hand sanitizer, wear a mask..

Pence: We need to open up the schools! But in the meantime, we've got a campaign to run!

(It's like listening to a comedian who is bombing. It's insincere, and it's not really very inspiring).

(There's more)

(Did it get deleted? I wasn't through with it and now it's stopped and won't reload).

Full file is 23 minutes and 55 seconds. At the start, as you know, it's music, and I have not listened to the very end of the file yet.

There is no right treatment. And the recent jobs report sucked. It's a pep rally. Pence will need them if something happens to Trump.

Then Pence shouted out encouragement, and the call was over. It did go the entire almost 24 minutes.

Boring...but...probably freaked out Stepien and Pence that there is a mole.

campaign staff motivated. Also with COVID you can feel like you're on the mend one day and completely crash and end up in the ICU the next. If Trump feels great today it means nothing yet.

symptoms off and on for months. She still hasn't gotten all her energy back. Tom Hanks said when he had COVID he was so fatigued , he couldn't walk from the living room to the bathroom without getting exhausted.

Pence & Stepien are lying. The whole WH inner sanctum has no idea what their sposed to be doing next.


The F-15 can fly at a top speed of 3,017 miles per hour, then stop, hit ground targets, and fade away

Absolutely ZERO substance in that

No wonder morale is so low in the WH. People must loathe themselves for being there


Btw, notice Pence couldn’t say Kamala Harris? Just said Joe Biden’s running mate
