k opportunistically, meaning they may not have planned the whole thing but once it looked like it was going to develop it's very clear that they under-secured the Capitol. Would you agree that that's evidence now that they intentionally under-secured the Capitol and then they also intentionally exaggerated what happened and that created the narrative that there was an insurrection which of course nothing like that happened? Literally nothing like that. But not even close. So half of the country believes it actually happened.

All right, question for you. You've heard of a lame duck president. So lame duck would be they're in their second term so they don't need to make anybody happy because they're not running for reelection but also nobody needs to make them happy because they're going to be gone pretty soon. So a lame duck is generally considered to be weak. But sometimes they also can do things that somebody running for election couldn't do. So what would you call a hypothetical second Trump term? I would — the best suggestion, I was going to say vigorous duck but somebody suggested high energy duck. Instead of a lame duck you'd be a high energy duck because I can't imagine Trump taking the job and not being bold, can you? Because I think he would be working for his legacy at that point so I think he would go big. What do you think? Do you think he could go big or would he go lame duck and just ride it out and say well luckily I got back in? I feel like his personality is to go big in all things. Yeah, that's what I think.

I was saying this on the Locals platform but I'm going to repeat it today. If I were Trump or somebody on the Republican side running for president I would make my biggest theme transparency because you can put a lot of stuff under transparency. For example, should the country and the Congress be voting on big omnibus bills that are too complicated to read? No, no. The country needs transparency about what Congress is voting on. So imagine if he said all bills should be written on one page and it should be written in language that a sixth grader could understand. Yeah, you like that don't you? It should be on one page. Now there could be exhibits and support data. You could have all that in separate pages but there should be one page that just says here's the law, here's why, and written in sixth grade language. No legalese, no lawyers at all. Now that would be transparency, would it not? You would call that transparency because it'd be more clear what they're doing and you could all see it.

Now suppose he stopped complaining about elections of the past. Let's say it's Trump and he started saying you know what, the thing we all agree on, the high ground, is transparency. So we want an election. We want to work toward having elections in which neither Democrats nor Republicans will doubt the outcome. We'll make them more transparent, more easily auditable, more observed. More transparency, right? Who's going to vote against transparency?

Now suppose he said you know I've been watching how the COVID vaccination stuff transpired and I have to agree with my people who say that the data was not as forthcoming early on as it should have been. So maybe we should have some kind of laws that say that a company can't say something's safe and efficacious without showing you the data or something like that. You know, if it's a medical thing. So I don't know what laws would be appropriate or who did what exactly but you could take the transparency argument and apply it to everything that's wrong with the country. Because if the citizens could clearly see what's going on then we would help politicians go in the right direction. But right now we're just all confused because of the lack of transparency. I mean half of the country thinks the elections were sketchy and half think they weren't. Why do we disagree? Transparency, right? In theory you could fix it.

Now one of my ideas that you could put under transparency
