1. he questions the "methodology" of this report
his toll is "a lot"

6. be glad you are not watching
this little turd has turned the entire planet upside down. he is very agitated and mostly not answering any questions, just rambling incoherently. Someone should sedate him.

8. Hey! It's 30,000. He told us that two years ago.
Haven't you been paying attention?

9. So even by that estimation, considering the escalation of violence, ...
even the most twisted lying would have to put the number near 100,000.

11. Naw, just change the criteria. Expand the 'excluded from count'
creatively and you can keep the number at 30,000 indefinitely.

Seriously, when the first report came out and the administration first floated the 30,000, as opposed to 120,000, you'd think they would use that as a baseline, but I heard them saying 30,000 as the then current total a full year later.

When you find something that works, you stay with it.

10. He doesn't know the exact number, but
he knows it's not 600,000. Yeah, definitely not 600,000.
