and I'd say well maybe they should be, this one. And yet still I think it's political prisoners. Like I have two opinions that don't even fit together. Yeah they might be actually violent people and they're also just political prisoners. I can't help it. I'd love to tell you that I have a consistent opinion but I don't. Those two things don't fit together and yet I hold them both as truths.

So I don't know if you're different but anyway Rasmussen's result was that 49% of the respondents said they agreed strongly or somewhat that the January 6 people are political prisoners. Let that sink in a little bit. Half of the country thinks we're holding political prisoners.

Now I don't know if that's just a political answer to a poll because it might be, you know people answer polls the way they want politics to bend. I'm not sure it's their actual opinion that every person there is a political prisoner. But like I said I have that opinion even if the facts don't support it. Like somehow my opinion is completely divorced from many facts and I don't care. I'm not, I don't even know what that means. I don't know what that says about me. What's it say about me that on this topic I don't care if the facts support my opinion?

Have you ever had that feeling where you didn't care if the facts were on your side? It wasn't going to change your opinion. It's a weird feeling. It's one of those times where you can feel your own irrationality.

All right I sent a tweet at Joe Manchin today. I love the fact that I can tweet a member of Congress and the odds that that member of Congress will see the tweet are actually really good. Is that weird? Because you know and especially because I have a lot of followers and I've got a blue check I'm pretty sure if you're a senator you probably see all the blue check tweets about yourself, don't you? Because it only takes a minute a day to look at Twitter. So I feel like he probably saw it or will see it.

But here's what I tweeted at Joe Manchin who as you know is in control of everything because he's the only senator who is willing to vote against his own party when things are evenly split so it gives him all the power. And he's got the power for the infrastructure bill and I guess he's also got the power on some kind of a voting access bill that the Democrats also want.

So I tweeted this at him. I said hey Senator Joe Manchin since you control Congress now how about getting us a law forcing states to have instantly fully auditable elections including any software or hardware components in addition to more voting options.

So I don't have any problem with voting options. I'm certainly not going to be the person who says hey let's suppress the hours people can vote or suppress the way that they vote or anything like that. Not going to do that. But I think we need the federal government to force the states to work towards some kind of instantly, instantly, see that's the key word. It has to be instant. We can't wait six months for an audit like we are now. It's got to be instant otherwise it's useless because if it's not instant you're still going to install the politician. It's just sort of too late.

So it's got to be instant and we could totally do that, right? And fully auditable meaning the software, the hardware and everything else.

Now what's the fastest way to do that? What's the fastest way to have an instantly auditable election? How long would it take to make that happen? One programmer, one day per state. One programmer, one day. That's the entire effort per state. You know one per state. There is a database that says you voted, is there not? Or there should be. You should be able to just check your vote. That's it. Your vote should be registered in the big database in the sky and as soon as you vote, you know wait five minutes or whatever, you should be able to hit an app and they should tell you what happened to your vote.

Now you might say yourself wait a minute ID is the problem, right? Because you don't want a person's identification matched to their vote. How hard would it be to fix that? Add five minutes. Because you want to store in the database a secret code that does identify the person but only they can unlock it. You know they've got the key. So the person who did the vote is the only person who can identify their own vote on the system because they've got the matching key. How hard is that?

All right now of course I'm exaggerating. It's not five minutes. Everything take
