're seeing evidence that the Mars rover is not real. It's never been real. Clearly it's just another puppet show and one of the strings fell off the puppets and then got captured on camera. And now they're doing this scramble. You know, NASA's like, "God what are we going to do? They got our string." And so now they're trying to sell you that some of your finest Mars missions do involve string as…

But here's the thing. Apparently this guy was tactically correct. Like he was getting bystanders behind him and he closed. He actually closed on the shooter. And here's the fun part. He neutralized the shooter with eight out of ten bullets into the body of the shooter in 15 seconds. It took him 15 seconds to leave the restroom, assess the risk properly, assess the risk properly, and neutralize it in 15 seconds. Oh my God.
Now how Republican was he? I mean it's not reported. Nobody reported his political leanings. But how Republican was he? Am I right? I mean if we find out it was a Democrat I will publicly embarrass myself by saying, "Well no, that was, I was totally wrong." But if that guy isn't a Republican I'll be amazed. I'll be amazed. And so I tweeted that the safest place in America is next to an armed Republican. That's true, isn't it? The safest place in America is near an armed Republican. Now I suppose January 6 was a glaring exception to that, but generally speaking you couldn't be safer than next to an armed Republican. So I mean that's a real thing.
All right. Here's a hypothetical question for you. Yeah, I don't think this is going to happen but just hypothetically, let's say Trump runs for reelection and he wins with 75 percent of the popular vote. Again, it's not going to happen. This is not a prediction. But what if he did? You know, let's say the other candidate had some scandal or whatever. It was just a blowout at the end of the election. If Trump got 75 percent of the vote, you think the Democrats would say, "Wow, good race, nicely done"? Or do you think that they would say that the election was rigged? What do you think? Do you think they'd say it was rigged despite having no court-certified evidence? I believe they would.
Now let us predict the future, shall we? What is the most likely outcome of Trump in 2024? The most likely outcome is that he runs. I'm not predicting it yet because I think things could go either way still, but probably Trump runs, right? Probably he runs. That's the most likely. If he runs, what is most likely to happen in terms of who wins? He'll probably win, don't you think? I think he'll probably run and he'll probably win.
Now what would the Democrats say if that happens? The most probable outcome, they're going to say the election was rigged, aren't they? And they're not going to have any court-approved evidence of it. And I don't know how much I'm going to enjoy this but I'm already getting ready for it. Like I don't know if there's a movie or a TV show I've ever wanted to watch more than the day after the 2024 election when the Democrats are screaming that the election was rigged and they need more transparency and they need just a little bit more time to run some audits. How much are you going to enjoy that? It'll be glorious.
You remember Elon Musk said, and I've said it as well, that for some reason reality tends to trend toward the most entertaining outcome. Not to the participants but to the observers. Can you imagine a more entertaining outcome than Trump reclaiming the presidency and the Democrats claiming the election was rigged? I can't. I can't. Not only would it be the most entertaining, it's also the most likely probably. There's a solid 60 percent chance that exact scenario will happen, don't you think? Would you go with me at 60 percent? If you take the entire chain of probability from Trump probably running, probably getting the nomination, probably winning the general election, probably the Democrats will say it was rigged. Am I wrong? There's at least a 60 percent chance t

hat we're going to get the most entertaining outcome. It's not even, I wouldn't even say it's what I want but it's the most entertaining. We already have video of them saying it about the 2016 election, right? So we know that. We know that the Democrats about 2016, what would stop them from saying it about the next election? Nothing. So entertainment, here we come. It's coming. Well as I've taugh…
