ns. Doesn't mean that anything happened that was illegal or that it was rigged. It just means that if you ever thought our system was auditable do you feel stupid now? Is there anybody here who ever believed we could audit our election system and find out if it was proper? Whoever believed that here again I think Democrats believe it if they have not worked and lived in the real world. Now I have…

software proprietary. So do you think there's somebody who's just an independent observer who has access to Dominion's software like to actually look at the source code? I don't know. I would think that they would keep that to themselves. In the real world they're not going to let anybody see it which means you don't know what it's doing right.

In the real world if you design a system and it's not giving you what you want year after year after year same problems if you don't change it or talk loudly about your desire to change it then it's not the problem is that you designed it to do what it's doing right. Design shows you intention over time. You know on day one something might not do what you hoped it would do but over time if we keep having these results that the public isn't completely trusting and they're not getting the results quickly and there's a lot of credibility questions if you don't fix that it's because you want it not to be fixed. So again if you have any real world experience and you look at the difference of opinions from the people with real world experience versus those who don't and it's a waste of time to have an argument with somebody who doesn't have real world business experience. If I get in a conversation with somebody who has no real world business experience they're going to say of course we can improve diversity everywhere at the same time. No you can't. That's stupid. No nobody with experience thinks that. And that you can audit the elections. Nobody with any technical experience believes that. Show me anybody who's ever written a functional piece of code and you tell me that they'll honestly think you can audit the entire election system. Nobody. Not a single person with experience. People with experience who think you can measure the planet Earth? None. These are really clean examples of things that are lies. We know those are not doable things.

All right ladies and gentlemen this brings me to the conclusion of the best live stream you're going to see today. Do you want some optimism to close it down? Who wants some optimism? All right here's some. Everything's trending in the right direction except debt but I think we'll figure that out too. Everything's trending in the right direction. So there are terrible problems which in real time are being reframed and the big difference between this year and prior years is the growth of the independent media. So independent media you know the Glenn Greenwalds the Matt Taibbis the Michael Shellenbergers and people like me we get to say what the mainstream corporate media can't say and it really is making a difference.

Now you're already seeing the power of the internet dads and I'll say internet moms as well. Have you seen it? Have you seen any situation where the responsible people who know how things work have put a damper on things? Yeah that whole bloodbath thing. The bloodbath thing was turned into a joke by the independent, by people like me. We turned it into a joke and it completely disabled the Democrats because every time they said it we would laugh at them and make fun of it and create content and the more they said it the more we laughed and the funnier it was and they finally just sort of slunk away because I don't think they're talking about it today are they? And it got crazier when they brought in their smartest people all right we really screwed up and this makes some kind of weird lawyerly argument where the bloodbath thing starts to make sense again. So then they started to say well okay granted he wasn't talking about it like that it was just about the car business but that's what he does so it really must be seen in the context of our other hoaxes. So we hoaxed you about the fine people we hoaxed you about whipping immigrants. If you believe that well obviously. And so once it got to the point where they were using their other hoaxes to prop up the new hoax and all the independent people could see it and we talked about it and we thought it was funny it kind of made it go away.

So there's going to be more of that. Things are very different this time and I think we're going to be watching for any in the election. In my opinion there's no chance that they won't attempt to rig the election. That's my view. I see no chance none at all that the Democrats will just play fair. I think they'll try to rig it in legal means if they can change some rules in ways that help but definitely in illegal means too because that's the world we're in. I can't believe for a minute they would allow Trump to be

come president if they could stop it because they've all been convinced he's like the second coming of Hitler so of course they're going to try to stop him. Of course. But I think that between the independent media which makes a big difference, X and Elon which makes a big difference, and our free speech I do think that the corrective forces are lining up. I think that it's starting to look to me…
