It’s mathematically possible to calculate the chance that a 42 year old would die of a heart attack in the same month that he is going to release politically damaging information.

What you do is you determine the chance of the first event and multiply it by the percentage representing the second event.

I’ll let you know, the probability of the first event is less than 0.01. Necessarily, the probability of both events is less than the probability of the first.

What are the chances that Rush has a bomb scare on the same day those two things happen?

“probability of the first event (43yo heart attack) is less than 0.01”

But you would up that knowing he’s had some heart problems before, supposedly.

Believe me, it does happen.
