onclude that if they hate everything about why he's doing it, his intentions, even if all of that's true? It's not. But suppose all of that was true. Wouldn't they still agree that he's good at it? I think so. Right now, if somebody is that good that they become president, would you call them an expert? Do you think that if it comes to conning people, wouldn't you call President Trump, if you're…

All the experts have something in it for themselves. So if Trump is an expert on cons but the problem is he's also might be doing a con, that's exactly the same as every one of the experts that Biden tells you to believe. Everyone. They all have an incentive for the con, which doesn't mean they're all conning, but they've all got an incentive. So I wouldn't be so sure that your experts are any better than Trump on any question.
Trump tweeted that Section 230 must be immediately terminated. Let me give you some more examples of why that's true. Senator Mastriano, who organized that Gettysburg hearing on the election alleged fraud, his accounts got suspended by Twitter. A senator suspended by Twitter. And I'm pretty sure, I don't know the details, but I'm pretty sure that whatever got him suspended was an opinion. If he got suspended for an opinion. Now, it might have been wrong. It might have been right, but that's not the criteria, is it?
It looks like Twitter has decided that they will just judge what's true and what's not. They will overrule a senator and they will decide that you, as somebody who voted for that senator, can't hear what he has to say. Twitter decided to disenfranchise you from your elected official and make sure that the most common way you could find out what he was thinking is removed from your toolbox temporarily in this case, but they can do it as many times as they need to.
All right. How about, so now you've seen "The Plot Against the President" removed. You've seen Senator Mastriano being suspended and you've seen Facebook's deal with promoting the so-called less hyperpartisan stuff. If ever there was a time to do this Section 230 thing, now it's a slam dunk. There really is no argument anymore. It's gone, you know. And believe me, I was completely unconvinced one week ago. I mean, I didn't have a decision either way. I was just sort of monitoring it, trying to figure out if I could form a decision, but now I would say this is as clear as it could possibly be.
Also the links to Sidney Powell's documents, I think those were removed too.
All right. I asked this question. Is it technically possible to make a secure voting app? I asked this because I think there's going to be

a big difference in the opinions of people who know how to do stuff versus the people who don't know how to do stuff. And I feel, and this is more of a gut feeling based on experience, that it's doable. I think maybe it wasn't doable before blockchain. I think maybe it wasn't doable before facial recognition, before you could take a fingerprint, before you could do lots of other stuff. But I think…
