hat the get out the vote was sort of separated in different teams and the teams that worked on young people didn't have much luck but the teams that worked on the older people were just really good at what they did. That could be possible couldn't it? But is it likely? Probably not. So that's the sort of thing in the data that's going to make a lot of eyebrows go up. All right. Correct me if I'm…

away from the press is punishing the press isn't it? It feels like he's punishing them on the bottom line by taking away their click bait by taking away all their footage and everything that gets them clicks and revenue. So he's really handicapping them by just staying out of the news.

Now I also think that if he believes he can win and it's pretty clear that he has that belief at this point if he believes he can win in these challenges the best way he could play it would be to stay low. Would you agree? Now it doesn't seem in character. You expect him to be out front you know in front of the army fighting hard all the time. It's just his personality. But the best strategy if that's what's happening and I don't know that that's what's happening but the best strategy would be to quiet down all of the fire that he normally brings to every situation and it looked to me like at that little press conference he gave which was just on the topic of coronavirus it looked to me like he was really trying to tamp down the fire and the gasoline. And if he does that enough and a little time goes by maybe the public will start to get these little indications that there was something wrong with the election but Trump himself maybe just some tweets about it but not too much to flame things up.

His best play is to let it play out because if the process plays out and then the process says you're the president then maybe just maybe he can avoid huge riots. There'll always be a little bit of rioting but if he goes in like the 500 pound gorilla he says I'm gonna change this election you know I'm telling you that it's wrong I'm gonna do this I'm gonna make this result overturned that would not be a good look because then that looks that plays into the dictator thing and he can't accept the election and all that stuff. But if he just steps back and starves the media so that they don't have any good stories to get your blood boiling what would happen? I think you just your tensions go down. The election starts to feel like old news because things move so fast and you can get used to anything. So the best strategy might be to dribble out you know these numbers look a little sketchy you know it's not just these few numbers we found some other numbers that look a little sketchy too. We'll let the press deal with that and maybe some of the senators will weigh in and we'll see how it plays out.

So I don't know if it is strategy or not for him to stay out of the public. He might just not feel like it and that would be perfectly appropriate right? If you have this election outcome you were entitled to a little bit of golf right? I mean nobody would begrudge him or Biden taking some time off. And by the way the fact that Biden took some he's taking a few days off to recover from his campaign I swear to god it would almost be more fun to have a president Biden just to see him struggle to do the job and I'm not proud of that but it would be interesting to see.

All right yeah so there's some I'm seeing in the comments that Elon Musk took four coronavirus tests with the same tests and the same nurse. Two of them said he had coronavirus and two of them said he did not. And he's asking the question are these tests even real? I'm paraphrasing. And I guess there's some question about the sensitivity of the tests. If they do I don't know 35 cycles whatever that means they're good if they do less than that they're not. So there's some question about whether the tests that we're using are even tests or is it just a coin flip? I don't know. Yeah it's a coin flip test.

All right that's all I got for now. I will talk to you tomorrow. All right Periscope is off and YouTube's still on. He took the antigen test. You know I keep getting confused by the whole antigen versus finding the virus test.

Somebody says Scott is not MAGA because he operates according to the media rules. I don't know what that means. Get a grip. Okay how's your health? Never better. My health is great by the way. Maybe the best it's ever been in my life. Weirdly enough.

Wow your questions are going by so quickly it's hard to even see them. Your thoughts on online hypnosis training? I don't think it works. My experience is that if you don't do it in person it probably doesn't work. I can't guarantee it doesn't work but I wouldn't bother trying it.

Slaughter meter I'm going to bump it up to 96. 96.

What about Biden's anti-fraud organization? Well I haven't heard from them.

How to find a good hypnosis hypnotist. People ask me all the time how can you find a good hypnosis instructor or a good hypnotist and it's really hard to answer that question because usually the only way you can do it is from reviews or personal recommendations but if somebody is a good hypnotist they could certainly get somebody to give them a good recommendation. So hypnosis is the one service where you should really not trust the reviews on reviews because it wouldn't be hard to get people to give you good reviews even if you didn't help them.

Do you really think he'll do it George Washington? I don't know that I could predict he will do that. Here's what I do predict. I do predict that we will know there was massive fraud in the election and they will know that before inauguration. I don't know if we will agree that it was massive enough that he should be the president and if there's any gray area I think he won't become the president but I think historians may very well say you know he was the president but he just didn't take the office.

It says Scott they are deleting evidence. Well I don't know who they are or what evidence.

Somebody says Dan Bongino owns Parler. I think he was an investor or something. I don't know that he owns it.

He'll have to stay to preserve integrity. I don't know about that.

Maybe. Oh yeah it does look like Trump let his hair go gray. I don't know was that a coronavirus thing? Did he do what everybody else did and you know he couldn't do as much hair care?

Ann Coulter thinks that Trumpism trumps Trump. Well Trumpism was sort of a reflection of the voters so in that sense yes.

Get kraken. There was some kind of tweet about release the kraken that was deleted before I could see it so I don't know what that kraken is all about but it's on Twitter.

Cital is the name of the company that all the votes go to and apparently they have offices in Germany. Why do any of our votes go overseas? Don't you think that if we could do one thing to protect our votes of this country the one thing would be to make sure that the data on the voting never left the country? I feel like that would be basic. Now it's not that you can't hack it remotely but if you put the server in another country I feel like that's just asking for trouble.

Why is the stock market going up? People are saying I think people are optimistic about the vaccine and that's mostly it.

What if they delete the Dominion evidence? How would they delete it? If Dominion deleted their records and their logs they would never work again. So if they were to delete that they would also be out of business. I don't think that'll happen. Could happen but that would also be an admission of guilt.

Somebody says voting is not transparent. You are correct it's not.

What if they delete the Dominion evidence? Well so I've answered that. If

they delete it it would be an admission of guilt. Thoughts on rallies today versus Antifa. So is there going to be a big mix up with Trump supporters and Antifa today? I don't know if Antifa wants to fight because they think they got Joe Biden right and do they want Joe Biden? I don't even know if Antifa wants a real president or they just want the end of society. I don't even know what they want…
