ou only need enough of them to be willing to break the law for the law to get broken. You don't need everybody to break the law. You just need enough. And if you have millions of people who believe that orange Hitler might be taking a second term, are there enough people who would be willing to break the law? Yes. Clearly and unambiguously yes. So there would be enough people willing. But willing…

t is a real racist and suggests drinking bleach, if you could stop that and you didn't, you are cowards. You're cowards. Because if you didn't cheat in this election you've got a lot of explaining to do. You should be able to tell me you threw the election and you're happy about it because you saved the country in your opinion, saved us from orange Hitler. Wouldn't you be proud of that? Well I would think you would be.

All right. I think I may have said everything I want to. Oh Biden is boring us to death. And the only other thing I want to say about, oh what a, does anybody think that the Senate race in Georgia is going to be a clean election? If let's say hypothetically, hypothetically if Democrats had rigged the presidential election and now we're doing this Senate special election in Georgia wouldn't they rig that too? And wouldn't they just do it exactly the same way? So we're going to learn something interesting because if both Republicans lose in Georgia which is what people are not expecting it's going to reopen this question of fraud. And if the Democrats cheated in the main election and got away with it why wouldn't they do it again the same way? If it works why wouldn't you do it again really?

So James Mattis says he hopes Biden gets rid of America First as a concept to which I say now I see why two different presidents fired that guy. That guy Mattis was probably the most overrated general of all times. You know as it turns out I had been a big fan but once you hear him speaking candidly he doesn't seem even bright. There's something going on there. Because if you're an American general and you don't think America First, that does not preclude being generous to other countries. Saying America First doesn't mean you screw France. America First doesn't mean you throw Great Britain into the ocean. It means that you operate in an enlightened way about self-interest.

All right that's all I got for now and I'll talk to you tomorrow. All right Periscope's off. YouTubers you have my full attention. Somebody said Great Britain is already in the ocean. Okay technically. You need to invite Robert Barnes. You know he'd be a great interview. Robert Barnes would be. But now that I'm doing live streaming on two platforms I don't have the technology to do a guest that both of you could hear on YouTube and Periscope at the same time.

Why do the YouTubers get more time with you? Well no real reason. How did Stacey Abrams become so important? By doing a good job. Stacey Abrams, she's doing something right. I mean she almost became governor and she's credited with changing the election situation in Georgia. So she's doing something really well.

Somebody said I should go on the Megyn Kelly show. That's a

podcast. I would. I'm taking some time off from doing podcasts and stuff but she would be fun. Do you think vaccine should be mandatory? I don't think that's possible. I don't think it's possible but I do think that it will be effectively mandatory. So I don't think the government needs to do it because you saw that Qantas already said you have to have a vaccination to fly on their airlines. I wou…
