l it's not defeatist. I would say that the odds of a challenge that's got some meat to it is pretty good. I don't know if that wins the day but there's a pretty good chance the president has a case. And if he could find a way to get that case to the Supreme Court, does he have an advantage because of his conservative judges? Maybe so. Somebody says kudos on keeping going today. Well let me ask yo…

Okay. I'm just looking at a comment. Did you notice they changed the way we voted at the last minute? Just looking at your comments. Somebody says it's stupid to leave, stay and fight. Yeah I don't think taxes will go the direction of the Biden tax plan. I think that if there's a Republican Senate and the Democrats want to stay in power for a while that they probably can't do that. The yuan is tanking again. Interesting.
What is the betting market has gone Biden, right? The betting market has gone completely Biden.
So somebody asked me about simulation theory. So let me put this in a frame you've heard before. If this is a simulation, and as I've said there's a tendency for life to follow the path of the best movie, what would be the best movie? Think about it. If this were a movie and everything that had happened up to this point is what happened in the movie, what would be the movie ending? Do you know what it would be?
The movie ending would be finding out that those Michigan votes were fraudulent. And this is the third act. Because the point of the third act is that you're supposed to feel as if it's over. Like you're actually supposed to think, okay seriously, no joking aside, it's done now. It's a little bit how you might have felt the day the Access Hollywood tape came out right before the 2016 election. When I heard that my feeling was, the first time I heard it I came out of it, but the first time I heard that I said that's it. There isn't any way anybody in the world can recover from this Access Hollywood tape.
Now it took me a few days to realize that wasn't the case and came back to predicting Trump would win. But that was the third act in my opinion. That was the point where even the biggest believer, the biggest optimist capitulates and says all right, all right, there's just no hope. There's no hope left. And then the hero pulls out a victory in a way that was completely unexpected.
And the obvious way that would happen would be to find out that there was some fraud that changed the election and find out in time to reverse the outcome. So this will be a good test of the simulation

slash movie hypothesis. The movie simulation theory suggests that Trump will reverse some of the votes. Now if I said to you there's a presidential candidate and he's going to challenge the votes and he's going to have them reversed and it will be enough of them that it changes the election, what would you say in general? In general you'd say I don't think so. I don't know if any president who's…
