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 no…

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 like Trump will get through all of his lawfare. Now I'm not sure I would have said that two months ago but the way things are shaping up that even if he can't pay his fine to Letitia James I shouldn't admit this but I'm going to. There's part of me that hopes he can't pay the fine. Is anybody having that same feeling? Because I feel this needs to be pushed to the breaking point. I want to see Trump say I can't pay it. We're going to review it and you can't make me pay it before it's appealed. You're going to have to put me in jail.

Imagine that. Do you think they have the guts to do that? Do you think that New Yorkers would allow them to take over the building right in front of them? Well a lot of them would but a lot of them wouldn't. A lot of them wouldn't. So there's part of me that says let's push this but I don't want to risk Trump actually being in jail you know because they could very easily Peter Navarro him too. But I don't feel like nibbling around the edges on this is working. It's just going to cost them a billion dollars. I think he needs to go right at it and just say you know what every person in the whole country can see what's happening. He should stand in front of his building

on the deadline and say here I am. Here I am. But do it in front of everybody. Now I can't recommend that Trump do that because he'd probably end up in jail and that's not cool but there's part of me that fantasizes he just pushes it until it breaks. You know if you have that loose tooth you've ever lost a tooth when you're a kid and you can't stop pushing it with your tongue because it's loose an…
