So maybe if he had to borrow money to do it, maybe he would have. I don't know. But this has the feeling of something that only a billionaire would do. You know what I mean? Because I feel like somebody would have done it already if you could do it without being a billionaire. Because it must be high enough risk that you'd have to be a billionaire to even bother taking a run at this. I don't know.…

If you can tell me, if you can look me in the face and say I am positive this election was fair, you're an idiot. I don't even want to be in the same room with you. You're so dumb. Like nothing good could come from this conversation if you know the unknowable and you're saying to me right in my face I know the unknowable. To do things that can't be known, I know them because I know the unknowable. All right. So if you're positive the election was fair, you're an idiot. There's no way around it. But my friends, and I say this with love, if you're positive the election was rigged in a way that's big enough that it changed the outcome, yeah, you're an idiot too. You're 82.
Sorry. Sorry if you're positive. Now if you have a strong suspicion, well then I'd say you're a normal person and I applaud you. Yay, normal suspicion.

And it just makes me nuts. Yes, they do treat us like we're idiots, but they're not wrong in many cases.
So I tweeted that, just so I don't get canceled, I wanted the world to know that I was with the majority on this, right? So I tweeted that I've decided to join the majority opinion in the United States and with this tweet I publicly declared that I know the unknowable, that our unaudited elections in 2020 were perfectly fair. So I wanted to join the majority who seems to hold that opinion. So I did that publicly.
You know, there's one confusing thing about the news today. I don't know if you noticed it. Did you notice anything weird about the stories, like the mix of stories in the news today? Something strange. Did

anybody see it? I'm not the only one. Yeah, okay, I think one of you saw it too. There were, you know, normally let's say there are 25 stories in the news. I saw out of the 25 or so stories, I must have seen five or six in 25 that were not about the trans community. And I thought to myself, what's going on? I was a little confused because normally what I expect would be all 25 stories would have a…
