g from 20,000 of those. So what happens if they do the same thing with his voice? Because at the moment the deepfakes have a voice actor doing the voice. How hard would it be to run 20,000 voice clips of Tom Cruise through AI until AI can produce a perfect imitation with different sentences? I feel like that would be easy. Not easy, let's say inevitable. Not easy at all but inevitable. So we're g…

The press has become I would say if you could fix one thing, fixing the press would fix the most other things. Because the press is keeping the people from understanding what's happening and therefore the people get out of the decision making except to cause noise.
Mike Lindell, the MyPillow guy. Yeah I think I might buy an extra MyPillow. I've bought his pillows before. They're good pillows. So if you're looking for a good pillow, MyPillow is a solid pillow. I mean solid in the sense that you probably like it.
The teachers unions. Yes one of the biggest things coming out of this year is that the teachers unions, their credibility just keeps going lower. And a lot of states are voting — I think half of them or so have been — half the states have voted to do something that would decrease the power of the teachers unions by letting kids have the funding to take it to private schools.
Fix the voting system. Yeah so we don't really see a lot of action there do we? Do you know who could get — let me tell you how I could be president or let's say somebody else could be president because I don't want to run for it. But here's a package that would make you president. Number one, my highest priority as president will be to fix the voting system to make it transparent and maybe use a little blockchain technology. How would you like to have a president, any president, who could answer this question: Mr. President what do you think of at least testing blockchain technology to improve the visibility of our systems, the transparency? Wouldn't you like a president who could answer that question? Because we don't have — I don't think we have a president who would even know what that question meant. And it's probably the single most important thing that we should be looking at. I don't know that it would be the answer but it's the most important thing we should be looking at. I would worry with the blockchain. I would worry about performance if everybody votes at once. So I don't think you could say the government's working on fixing the election system.
So the first thing I do is say priority one is fixing the election system. And then number two is making sure that China doesn't eat our lunch and bringing our industry home. And then number three would be for all of the social programs, anything domestic, I'd say you've got to trial it. And if there's anything you want to do I'm not interested until it's been tested in one state. So I'm not pro or for anything in particular until you've done the test and then I'll look at it. I'll look at it with you. Did the test show it works? Did we learn something? Should we test it again? And I wouldn't even tell you what my outcomes would be. I just wouldn't even tell you where it's going to come out because I don't know.
If you hire a CEO do you say we're going to hire you and I'd like you to tell us all the decisions you're going to make in advance? And then the CEO says okay I can do that. I'll tell you all the decisions I'll make in advance of seeing information that w

ould help me make a decision. You wouldn't hire that person. You would hire somebody who knows how to make a decision when the decision needs to be made. And if somebody doesn't say test it first they don't know how to make decisions. All right. Yeah somebody in the comments is saying the election system does work the way it was designed. That's true. It does work the way it was designed and it w…
