's about to happen that I don't know if Dominion has calculated in, unless this is actually part of their exit plan to leave the business because it looks like it could be. I'm not saying that's the case because they'll sue me. I'm just saying if you look at it from the outside, it looks like a company that plans to go out of business. But maybe they can win some money on the way out. Because here's what's going to happen, I think at least. It's what would happen if I were the lawyers and I had at least the freedom to introduce this. I would put electronic voting machines on trial if you can get away with it. I'm not sure what will be allowed as evidence here. But Fox News, if I were them and I were trying to come up with a strategy, I would try to destroy the idea of electronic voting no matter who it is. I wouldn't even make it about Dominion. I wouldn't even say this isn't even really about them. You could change the name of the company and the argument would be exactly the same, which is that it's a system that isn't transparent and therefore reasonable people can have an opinion that it wasn't fair or there were issues with it.

Now if they do that, they could probably salt the earth so effectively that our government can no longer support electronic voting. So one of the things that might come out of this is the death of electronic voting everywhere. Now I don't know if Dominion knows that that's one of the outcomes, that the entire market for their product could disappear because of this.

Now as high-powered as Sidney Powell is, when they take on Sidney Powell, they are taking on one person, very high-skilled, experienced attorney. You know, that's pretty dangerous by itself, right? You take on an attorney at that level, you'd better have the kill shot, right? You go after the king, you know the saying, right? You try to take out the king, you better finish the job because if the king survives, you're in a lot of trouble for trying to take out the king. Well, I think that Dominion is sort of bigger than or more powerful than Sidney Powell despite her firepower, which is considerable. So that was probably a good play to take her on. But Fox News is another animal. Fox News, I don't think they understand how much firepower can come from that side of the world. I just don't think they understand what they're getting into. I don't know. But I would think that the Rupert Murdoch group, especially supported by Fox News, who are professional communicators, right? They're sort of the best communicators in the world, you know, not just because they're right-leaning but that's their job. They do it professionally.

And between what Fox News will report about this, because they can report it, it's news even though it's about them, it's still news, so they can report it. What do you think Fox News is going to start running as specials? Just guessing. They're going to run a lot of specials about how voting machines in general are a really big problem. I've got a feeling that Rupert Murdoch is going to end electronic voting as a legal defense basically. Now he might lose the case. Fox News might lose this case. But I think he's going to kneecap the entire industry. That's just part of the natural process of the defense. So we'll see.

Let's talk about Biden's press conference. You know, before the press conference I had tweeted that I was asking people to write humorous reviews of his press conference before it even happened, knowing in advance that the friendly press would say he did incredibly well. So let's see how close we got. Here are some of the actual comments after the press conference. This from the Drudge Report, who used to be right-leaning but I guess not so much anymore. It said, "Joe's no-drama press conference. Chill style. Grand vision for FDR presidency. Art of the impossible." Not bad. The Washington Post says in an opinion piece, "Biden excels at his first news conference. The media embarrasses themselves." And there were other glowing reports. Ted Lieu, for example.

So let me give you my opinion here. It wasn't bad. It wasn't bad. Now I'm only going to talk about performance here. If you're new to my live streams, this is the thing you need to know. I'm not talking about how accurate he was with facts because he didn't pass the fact checks. Neither did Trump, right? Presidents typically fail the fact-checking at press conferences. Biden did too. So do you know how do I hold that against him? I don't. I don't. The news did what it does. Even CNN fact-checked him. So how much do I care that he got some facts wrong? Not any more than I cared when Trump got some facts wrong, right? They all do that. That's what the news is for. They're supposed to fact-check them and they did. Even CNN fact-checked them. So don't care about that.

How about his verbal miscues where he would start a sentence and it would just trail off to nothing? Pretty scary, right? This guy's got the nuclear codes and he's the president of the United States and he can't finish a sentence without running off into bumbling confusion and just saying, ah, well, that's enough. Scary? Nope. It's not. Because we're used to it. It was already baked in. In the same way that much of Trump's personality very quickly just got baked in and it no longer became important to your mind anyway. It was always the same amount of importance. But the way your mind processes it is if you're used to it, and we're just sort of used to it, and we are told that Biden's little verbal miscues are nothing but Joe being Biden. Yeah, he's older. He's a little less fast. But it's not that different than he's always been or at least how he's been for years. So how much do I hold that against him that a lot of his sentences were bumblingly and incompetently ended without an ending? Not much. It's sort of everything we knew he was. So I would say that didn't move the needle. It may have confirmed what you thought but it didn't move anything.

Yeah, I doubt there was any Democrat who watched that and said for the first time ever, oh, the way he talks, now I'm worried. Do you think any Democrat did that? Probably not, right? But every Republican said, oh, that's just what I thought. Look at him. He can't finish the sentence. So nobody's mind was changed by that.

All right. How do you feel about the fact that the news is reporting that the questions were known in advance and that he had answers literally written out in notes and he came very close to reading verbatim his notes as his answers to the questions? What do you think of that? Well, I have a contrarian view on that. I'm one of the people, and you probably did too, who praised Kayleigh McEnany for being well prepared and having a whole binder that she could refer to so she could be really quick and sharp on all the answers. Now if we complimented Kayleigh McEnany for being very prepared and organized and having it written down so she didn't miss any good points, why isn't that the same for Biden?

You know, it's being reported by mostly people on the right that this is a sign of his declining capabilities, etc. And it might be. That's a perfectly reasonable opinion. It looks exactly like that actually. But at the same time he was really well prepared, right? Now you can say that there were some questions he didn't answer, like I think there was a gun control answer they went into immigration or vice versa. And there are things he avoided. But how much do you count against the president for avoiding a direct question? Well, they all do it, right? So you can't give them a pass for it, but you would say in context it's pretty common that they avoid questions. I would say Trump probably didn't do that. I think Trump is maybe the only one who would answer a question without trying to just change the topic. Has anybody else ever done that? Is Trump the only president we've had who would answer a direct question? Maybe Obama did, you know, in his own way. There might have been more.

But so performance-wise he stayed awake. He didn't say anything that was clearly dementia. It was just more of what we expected from him. And he looked like he had some command of the facts. Yeah, I am being generous. So somebody in the comments says I'm being too generous to Biden. I'm being generous. I don't think I'm being too generous. I'm trying to use the same amount of generosity I would have used had it been Trump, right? Just trying to make some kind of a comparison.

Now I'll tell you that I would say it's very clear that Biden is not making the decisions. It looks pretty clear that there's a power behind Biden. But given that they prepared him very well, whoever they are, I feel at least a little bit of confidence that there are actually smart people who are in control. We just don't know who they are, which is a problem. Wouldn't you like to know who's in control? I kind of would.

Now I was trying to think the difference between what a Biden meeting looks like and what a Trump meeting looks like. We have lots of examples where the advisors said, Trump, you've got to do X. And then Trump said, yeah, but I'm not going to. I'm going to call you an idiot in public and then I'm going to do the opposite of what you just recommended. Hey, we need to stay in Afghanistan with major forces. Yeah, I hear what you're saying. We're not going to do that. I'm going to pull people out of Afghanistan. Hey, we can't possibly have vaccinations quickly. Yeah, I hear what you're saying but you're going to do it anyway, right?

So how many times did Trump tell his experts that he wasn't going to take their advice? I feel like we've got enough examples of that. That was fairly common, right? Now is that the president you want? Do you want the president who goes against the advice of experts or do you want a Biden-like president who tells you directly he will take the advice of experts and you can see the work of the experts in his presentation? The experts sort of packaged up his answers for each topic and then he presented it. So he basically was a mouthpiece for the experts in some way.

Did you see any evidence that Joe Biden would be capable of telling an expert to go pound salt? Trump did it every day. It was like there probably wasn't a day that went by when Trump didn't call on an expert and say, yeah, I'm not going to do that. I hear what you're saying. That's not going to happen. Does Biden ever do that? And what do you think about that? Which one is the better president? Is the better president the one who calls on the experts? Because if you look at Trump's record of calling on experts, it's really good. Now it's not a hundred percent. It's not 100. I don't make that claim. But if you were to look at all the things, you know, don't cherry-pick, just look at all the things that Trump called on, pretty good record. His hunches, you know, his lived experience, etc. Do you give him some kind of an advantage in identifying? I think he was very good at it. I don't know if Biden has that. He might, but I don't know.

So here's the thing that's just mind-blowing, that Biden is getting basically a pass on this from the friendly side of the media. That when he was asked if photographers and the press would have access to the border holding facilities where we know there's a bad situation, you know, with people overcrowded, etc., and he basically said no. He said we'll give you access after we fixed it so there's nothing to see. And he said that right in front of the public like that was okay. How's that okay? Even the left was saying, are you serious? That's not okay. That's not okay for anybody. That's not okay on the right. It's not okay on the left. That's not okay with anybody, right? But he just got away with that. He's still president. No blowback whatsoever. You know, the people on the right are blah blah blah but it doesn't matter. And it's just words. He actually got away with telling you he wasn't going to give you transparency on a human crisis. Now he's the guy who cares the most about, you know, that's his brand, right? He cares the most about the humanity of the actual migrants who are in a bad situation there. And yeah, he won't let the press see the bad situation. It's amazing that he's getting a pass on this. There's no way that Trump would have.

So I think that was his worst point, was the immigration stuff. He was boring. Trump is more interesting, definitely. And here's another thing I think he got wrong on North Korea. He says that, you know, they're basically talking about what to do about it because North Korea fired some missiles, test missiles. And Biden is doing the old thing where you say they won't negotiate with North Korea unless North Korea commits to negotiating toward denuclearization. Is that going to work? Is that going to work? Do you think North Korea is going to say, oh, oh, oh, well I didn't know about this whole denuclearizing thing. Yeah, well now that you mention it we'll just get rid of our nukes and then everything's good, right? How about that?

I feel as if Biden and really the way we've always treated North Korea in the past is all wrong. And Trump was the only one who got that right. And it goes like this. North Korea isn't going to get rid of the nukes. It's not going to happen. I mean even if they tone down their testing or whatever, they're still going to have some capacity that they could ramp up if they had to. The smarter option is to talk to North Korea, to talk them out of being our enemy and just remove the threat because we don't have a reason to threaten them. We have no reason to do anything bad to North Korea now or ever as long as they don't do bad things to us. And I think that was the Trump magic, that he convinced North Korea, like we're not even in your game. We don't even care about you. If you'd like to make some money, we can help. But that's the only thing we care about you is if you'd like to make some money with us. We can help. Some investments and stuff. Now it's going to be hard to do if you're on war footing with South Korea but that's your business. Our business is we'd like to do some business with you. We don't want to attack you.

And what happened? North Korea seems way less aggressive, or did under Trump. Now that's probably the best you can get but I would take it to another level. I would tell North Korea, you know, we don't think you should build nukes and aim them in our direction but we can't make any promises about China if I were you. And I were that close to China, you might want to keep those nukes because you're going to need to aim them at Beijing because China is a real threat to North Korea, don't you think? Because China has absorbed Hong Kong as was their legal right, more or less. I mean they may have taken it too far. They probably will absorb Taiwan within the next 10 years just because it's close and because they can. Does North Korea think that America is a bigger risk than China right on the border of China? I don't think so. I think China is a way bigger risk to North Korea. And the way China would take over would be infiltrating and buying and bribing and doing their soft long-term influence thing to control North Korea. There's no way that Kim Jong-un should be on their team. He should be on our team and then you're fine because people don't nuke their own team. He should be on our team against China. China is the threat to the world. It's got to be a threat to North Korea. Now they can't treat China like a threat because they're still dealing with them. But realistically from a long-term military perspective, North Korea and China are the problem with each other. We're not. So I would make that case. I think Biden's got that wrong.

All right. So overall if you said Biden had a very low bar for expectations, I would say he exceeded that. Is that fair? The bar was so low that he exceeded it fairly easily. I would give him a good mark on his performance. Performance, he gets the usual failing grade on accuracy. They all do. He gets a bad grade on handling the border, bad grade on handling North Korea, didn't really answer a lot of questions. But he didn't need to accomplish any of those things I'm criticizing. So if you were to make a list of all the things that don't matter, he didn't do them very well. All right, being accurate, it doesn't really matter and he didn't do it very well but it doesn't matter. What did matter that he did? He didn't decompose in front of the public. What did matter is that he had details on all of the questions. What did matter is he spoke with some authority, acted presidential. I think he pulled it off. I think he pulled it off. All right, but ce
