does make a big difference because it allows free speech but I'm completely siloed. I don't know about you but there are no Democrats hearing me talk and I have the potential to actually change people's opinions because I'm going to be reframing things etc. So if I have no access to anybody on the other voting then how does X make any difference at all? There I'm completely siloed. The only ones I…

ion people at this point so we can't know.

But boy does the simulation need this election to be rigged. Here's what it needs. It needs the election to be rigged so badly that Kamala Harris wins and another late night surprise, everything looks suspicious way, and then we find out immediately how it was done and then the court reverses it. That's what we need because Trump needs to be cleared for 2020 and the only way to do it is if this election is rigged and Republicans catch it. And I think there's a really really good chance that's going to happen because the cheating seems almost guaranteed to me because the way Trump is treated as though he's a monstrous risk to the world so that guarantees cheating.

Let me say it again. When you say one of the candidates is Hitler and you actually sell that and people agree that it's true and those people are in charge of the election, of course they cheat. Of course they do. You'd have to be an idiot to think that people are going to treat it like a normal election if they really believe one of the candidates is Hitler. It's ridiculous.

Now do I have proof that the election was rigged? No no I don't. Is it possible that it got rigged and nobody would notice? Of course it is. I saw again yesterday somebody who said comparing the US elections to Venezuela was so ridiculous because our elections have all these checks and balances and audits and ways to know that they're true and accurate. To which I said who told you that? Where in the world would you learn something so completely obviously false? You don't have to be an expert on any election stuff to know they can't be audited. Tell me how would you audit the illegal immigrant who when they signed up for their driver's license they automatically got registered even though they're not or they got a ballot I think and then somebody else filled it in or they filled it in. Is anybody checking on that? No. And it's going to be a major giant part of the process.

Do you think that they will relax their signature matching thing again this year? Of course they will. Of course they will. Because if they did signature matching with any credible process it would throw out all the fakes. So we know it's going to be rigged. Let's just say we know that. Everybody okay that given the situation the fear of Trump of course is rigged. And by the way I would rig it if I were in that situation. I would rig it. So would you. If you cared, if you'd really been brainwashed to think you were in charge of being the only person who could stop Hitler because you drove the truck with the fake ballots just to pick some hypothetical, of course you'd do it. I would do it. You'd do it. We'd all do it. So there's not any question that people are going to try to rig it. I think trying to rig is guaranteed. That's guaranteed. Whether they can rig it enough, whether they can rig it on time, whether they can get not caught, where they're getting caught makes any difference at all because the courts might be so biased at this point that even being caught doesn't matter. Those are big questions.

But I think the simulation requires the election to be rigged and to get caught. So that's my prediction. Kamala Harris will win on Election Day and the election will be rigged and they'll get caught. What happens next is anybody's bet but there will be rigging and they will get caught. I think that's what's going to happen. I can't really imagine a situation where they say it's too hot this time we can't rig it because they're watching. I don't think that's going to happen. I mean you watched the Secret Service try to protect the president and I told you no it's probably just massive incompetence and maybe it's more than that but so far it looks like it's just massive incompetence.

Do you think the elections are run better than the Secret Service? Who thinks the election security people are more high-end than the people guarding the ex-president of the United States while he's running for president? I think Trump should have had the best of the best and even if some people were being shared with other people because it was a big need for security that day still it would have been the best of the best. Who runs our elections? The best of the best? No probably the worst of the worst in some cases anyway.

Biden is not going to be at the DNC convention. Somebody said I don't know if that's confirmed but it does make sense doesn't it? When was the last time we saw Biden? We just forgot Biden exists right because we're all assuming that Kamala Harris is running the country you know along with staff. So I don't know if we'll see Biden again. Yeah we might just not see him again because they can't put him out for questions. That's not going to happen again. So we'll see.

All right well Iran is allegedly planning revenge. The news is saying that top Iranian officials are going to get together. They're going to talk with people from Lebanon and Iraq and Yemen and they're going to figure out how they're going to collectively get back. Let me see. So some top people from Iran are going to ge

You should really think about Zoom. Have you heard of it? Yeah yeah I wouldn't really go to the same location because I don't know if you've heard but Israel's kind of pissed. They're a little bit pissed off and I don't…
