I received applause from the Bill Maher audience for discussing the 'Trump doctrine,' which emphasizes 'peace and war' rather than the traditional 'war and peace.' This shift resonates with many Americans who prefer a focus on peace. I also debated immigration policies, highlighting the challenges faced by the Trump administration. In discussions about culture, I expressed concern over the impact of platforms like OnlyFans on young women. Additionally, speculation about my potential Senate run continues, as I aim to bring a fresh perspective to Washington.

Scott Jennings receives an applause break from the Bill Maher audience for articulating the 'Peace and War' aspect of the 'Trump doctrine': Bill Maher: "There is a Trump doctrine now. Now we have the Trump doctrine, I think as much of a departure as any president has promulgated. Trump in Riyadh: "In the end the so called nation builders wrecked more nations than they built. Interventionists were intervening complex societies that they did not understand." Bill Maher: "His doctrine is 'You do you, we all love money'" Scott Jennings: "Something about the Republican doctrine that has been fascinating to me. We've always been war and peace, Trump has changed it to peace and war. He talks about peace more than he talks about war. They would much rather hear an American president talk about peace. 'Peace through strength' on that I think he's right. Putting peace ahead of war pretty popular among the American people." 'Peace through strength' or risk resting in peace.
Video Transcript AI Summary
The "Trump doctrine" departs from previous doctrines like the Monroe and Bush doctrines. Trump believes that "nation builders wrecked far more nations than they built" and that interventionists intervened in societies they didn't understand. The Trump doctrine is essentially "you do you," focusing on deals and money without lecturing on morals. As one Trump administration member stated, Trump isn't going to lecture, he's going to do deals, describing it as realism and transactional. This raises the question of abandoning traditional morality and exporting values. While planting democracy in the Middle East didn't work, Trump seems to prioritize peace over war, appealing to new Republican constituents who prefer a focus on peace. He still advocates bombing when necessary, but his emphasis is on "peace through strength."

Speaker 0: Well, that is the new well, there there is a Trump doctrine now. You know, and if people have been followed in the past, our history, we have doctrines. The Monroe doctrine, back in the nineteenth century, was saying anything that happens in the Western Hemisphere or in The Caribbean, that's our business, and we will fuck with you. Mhmm. Then there was the Bush doctrine.
The Bush doctrine was like, if you harbor terrorists, we will treat you like a terrorist yourself. Now we have the Trump doctrine, which is, I think, as much of a departure as any doctrine a president has ever promulgated. Because what he is saying is, and I'll I'll give you some of the quotes, is in the end, the so called nation builders wrecked far more nations than they built. This is his speech in Riyadh. Interventionists were intervening in complex societies that they did not even understand.
Now I gotta say, this is something people on the left said about Vietnam, societies we did not even understand. We said it about Iraq. What are we doing here? But Trump is basically saying, we don't give a shit about what your morality is. Mhmm.
And again, it's a hard one for left people on the left to argue with because they're the ones who say America's so evil. So he's base his doctrine is basically, you do you. We all love money.
Speaker 1: K.
Speaker 0: We all love money, and we're not gonna lecture you or heck do you anymore about your morals.
Speaker 1: The lecture thing
Speaker 0: You wanna cut off somebody's head, a reporter's head with a bone saw, you know, we all have our our our peckintillos. That's his doctrine.
Speaker 1: I talked to someone in the Trump administration yesterday about all of this, and they said literally what you just said. They said, quote, this person, Trump isn't going over there to lecture. He's going over there to do deals. This person described it fully as realism. He's transactional.
That's who
Speaker 0: he is. That's who
Speaker 1: we Like and again, maybe the American people will decide this. The international community will decide this. The blob might think about this. Like, do we care about abandoning the traditional, like, morality of The United States take exporting our values overseas in service of good outcomes? It's a very interesting question.
Speaker 0: He went to It's a very reasonable question because the other the other way didn't really work. I mean, planting democracy in The Middle East was really I mean, they gave a lot of reasons why we went into Iraq, but that was really what they couldn't say it all the time, but Thomas Friedman would say it for them. We need to plant a democracy in the heart of the Arab world. And it didn't work because, you know what, you gotta get rid of the religion. And they and they're not that's not gonna happen in our lifetimes before you can get to democracy.
They don't care about the same things. Biden would not talk to MBS after he cut off the guy's head. And then six months later, when we needed Saudi Arabia, he went over there and fist bumped him.
Speaker 2: Something about the Republican doctrine that is fascinating to me. I've been in the party for twenty five years working in it. We've always been war and peace. I think Trump has changed it to peace and war. He talks about peace more than he talks about war.
He's still hawkish enough to bomb people that need to be bombed like the Houthi rebels. But I get the feeling he's responding to all these new inflows of constituents of the Republican party. Maybe they were Democrats before. Maybe they weren't even political before. Mhmm.
But they would much rather hear an American president talk about peace. And the banner in The Middle East at his rally this week said, peace through strength, which is probably one of the most enduring slogans from the Reagan era. He doesn't agree with him on everything. But on that, I think he's right. But putting peace ahead of war, pretty popular with the American people.

I engaged in a discussion on Bill Maher about the Supreme Court's decision to deny the Trump administration's request to resume deportations of Venezuelan nationals. Peter Hamby highlighted that a significant majority of Americans believe Trump should follow the Court's ruling, while I argued that Trump will still explore all options to address what he sees as an invasion. I pointed out that many Americans view the border situation as a crisis. Hamby added that Democrats need to acknowledge the failures of Biden's border policies, noting that the deportation numbers under Trump have been underwhelming.

'Lonely Scott Jennings' spars with Peter Hamby and Maher over the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case on Bill Maher: Bill Maher: "The Supreme Court today said they are denying the Trump administration's request to resume deportations of Venezuelan nationals." Peter Hamby: "88% of Americans think Donald Trump should abide by whatever the Supreme Court says. 80% of Republicans agree." Scott Jennings: "Donald Trump also believes that. That's not going to stop them from pulling all the most creative levers they can think of. To repel what they rightly believe is an invasion. They got elected on a mandate to correct it. Most Americans know it was a crisis. I think he's got a lot of leash to pull all of the levers he can." Peter Hamby: "Joe Biden's policies at the border were a disaster, Democrats need to admit that." The Trump deportation numbers have been so disappointing that they cannot justify calling it 'mass' deportations.
Video Transcript AI Summary
The Supreme Court denied, seven to two, the Trump administration's request to swiftly resume deportations of Venezuelan nationals using the Alien and Enemies Act from 1798, which requires believing the U.S. is under invasion. Trump claimed the courts are stopping him from fighting the "invasion of illegal alien criminals."
The court is upholding due process by sending the case back to a lower court. While 88% of Americans believe Trump should abide by the Supreme Court, Trump will likely continue using creative measures to address illegal immigration, which he believes the last administration caused.
Trump's policies are working, with apprehensions at the border decreasing from 2.25 million in February 2023 to 7,000 in March of this year. Arrests and deportations have increased, and fentanyl deaths and violent crime are down. The debate centers on deporting individuals, including gang members, who have been in the country for years, even to countries they aren't citizens of. The Constitution grants due process to any "person," not just citizens.

Speaker 0: I used to call him lonely Scott Jennings, but he has some help now. Scott Jennings. How are you? Good. Okay.
Well, I'm
Speaker 1: always excited when there's breaking news right before we come on the end. And this is Friday at about 04:00 here in Los Angeles. And the Supreme Court today just said they are denying, seven to two, the Trump administration's request to swiftly resume deportations of Venezuelan nationals. If you've been following this story, Trump used something from 1798 called the Alien to Enemies Act. It depended on you believing that we were actually under invasion, that this was a war because there are gangs.
There are gangs from Central American, South American countries here in this country. Whether this was a invasion by any reasonable reading of that word, a lot of people question this. And interesting, we could talk about the Supreme Court not always backing him up as people thought, but let's just get to this in the right away. What do you think about this ruling by the Supreme Court? Will this be important?
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, I think the court here is standing up for due process. Donald Trump doesn't like it. It's not over. They're just sending this back to a lower court to make a decision as to whether these Venezuelans in Texas can be deported and sent to this mega prison in El Salvador.
Most the interesting thing about Donald Trump saying, I think he posted on True Social, the courts are trying to stop us from fighting this invasion of illegal alien criminals or whatever language he used. 88% of Americans, I think, according to Pew, think that Donald Trump should abide by whatever the Supreme Court says. Supreme Court is not popular, generally. But as the president is, you know, pushing back against the courts, expanding executive power, and the courts are pushing back on him, I mean, 78 I think 80% of Republicans in the same poll agree that the Supreme Court is the final word. But, again, like, we'll see what happens.
This is a procedural decision.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, I mean, it's a good thing that most people believe that because Donald Trump also believes that. He's repeatedly said that they'll abide by what the Supreme Court decisions are, but that's not gonna stop them from pulling all the most creative levers they can think of to repel what I think they rightfully believe has been an invasion. It's not just these gangs. It's illegal immigration in general, and the last administration allowed it to happen.
They got elected largely on a mandate to correct it. So they're trying creative things. Maybe they're stretching the boundaries of what a 1798 law was intended for, But most Americans know it was a crisis. Most Americans know the previous administration caused it, and most people voted for Donald Trump largely because they thought he would do what was necessary to fix it. Now, if the court doesn't agree with him, I'm sure they'll go back to the drawing board on it.
But I think he's got a lot of political leash to pull as many levers as he can.
Speaker 2: The curious dynamic that's going on, I think, is that they're trying to have it both ways, claiming there's an invasion, pushing the courts. What the Trump White House is doing using all of the levers of the federal government is working. I mean, Joe Biden's policies at the border were a disaster. Democrats need to admit that. At the p at February 2023, I think there were 200 and a quarter million apprehensions at the border.
In March of this year, there were 7,000. So, like, fentanyl deaths are down in this country. Crime, violent crime is coming down. So, like, it's working. They're they're arresting and deporting 65,000 people so far.
So, like, the invasion is being stopped, but Trump is still saying we need the courts to push back the invasion.
Speaker 3: But it but it's the people who already are here. Take the Abrego Garcia character that we sent back to El Salvador. He has been in the country or was in the country for fourteen years. He came in in 2011, and it's 2025. And there's plenty of evidence that he was a pretty bad dude.
And most people are looking at this saying, how did he come in and stay here for this long? Why shouldn't we be trying to pull levers to get people like that Put you out of the country.
Speaker 1: So your your view is that bad dudes could be sent to a foreign prison? That that that can't
Speaker 3: be In in the country where they are a resident or a citizen?
Speaker 1: Sure. Okay. But that's not what the constitution says. I mean, our friend Byron Donald, who has been on the show before this week said, due process is reserved for American citizens. But that is not what the constitution Yeah.
I mean, maybe it should, but that's not what we're talking about. We're saying, what does it say? I mean, if you were the founding fathers and you were writing the fifth amendment or the fourteenth amendment, because both of them used the word person. They knew the difference between the word person and the word citizen. This says no person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process.
That's a fifth amendment. The fourteenth says no state shall deprive any person of life, liberty, property without due process. So isn't it clear? I mean, you talk about creative means, but creative can just kind of morph right into we're just gonna do whatever I want. And and I don't think as you said, those polling numbers, even among Republicans, I don't think they wanna live in a country where a guy just goes, you know, you're a bad dude.
You you go to torture chamber.
Speaker 3: Well, that's not the country they lived in. They live in a country where this guy had been to court repeatedly.
Speaker 2: But the Venezuelan he had the Venezuelan court they're talking about in this case, the supreme court's votes on today, Trump wants to send them to El Salvador. They're not from El Salvador.
Speaker 1: I mean, was asked, do you have a duty to uphold the constitution? And his answer was, I don't know. I'm not a lawyer. Wait. Wait.
Wait. Wait. Wait. I'm just asking.
Speaker 3: He in the same but in the same but in the same breath he said, on this case, we have the best lawyers and we're gonna abide what abide by what the supreme court said. I mean, that that was what his full statement was. Look, These these people, these gang members are not coming here to be productive Americans. They are coming here to rape, pillage, murder, steal, and wreak havoc on communities. The president was elected to fix it.
I believe him when he says he's gonna abide by Supreme Court decisions, but I don't think most people begrudge him creative ideas when it comes to getting them out when they've been allowed to stay here for so long.

In my recent appearance on Bill Maher's show, I defended my support for Trump, emphasizing his efforts to end wars and address the decline of American manufacturing. I pointed out that working-class Americans, disillusioned with Democrats, are increasingly aligning with Trump. I challenged Maher on whether the country is better off now, citing issues like inflation and immigration. I argued that tariffs are essential for American competitiveness and highlighted how Trump's policies have positively impacted the working class. Despite pushback, I stand by my views.
@EricAbbenante - Eric Abbenante
Batya Ungar Sargon's defiant retort to Bill Maher's question asking if she regrets supporting Trump: Maher: "I'm just wondering what you think now: You must have a feeling in your gut: This is going badly, I shouldn't have thrown in my lot with this team." BUS: "I feel the opposite: He's trying to bring an end to all these wars. He looked at our destroyed manufacturing base, he looked at the fact that working class Americans cannot afford the American dream. He looked at why that was: There was a handshake agreement between both parties. That we should somehow have free trade which resulted in shipping 5 million good manufacturing jobs overseas to build up China and Mexico's middle class." Maher: "Some came here." BUS: "They brought in millions of illegal migrants to compete for the jobs that remained here. Trump said 'We have to stop selling out the working class.'" BUS does not regret supporting Trump, but Maher regrets asking that question.
Video Transcript AI Summary
The speaker questions the guest about his shift from a conservative Republican to a Trump supporter. The guest claims he was never a Republican or conservative, but a leftist, and remains a leftist, now a "MAGA leftist." He argues Trump changed the Republican party by opposing social conservatism, foreign interventions, and free trade. He says Trump is pro-gay, appointed an out gay person to his cabinet, and sidelined the pro-life wing. He believes Trump wants to end wars and is on the side of the downwardly mobile working class. He says Trump recognized that free trade led to shipping manufacturing jobs overseas and bringing in illegal migrants to compete for remaining jobs, and that Trump aims to stop selling out the working class. He concludes that Trump's agenda is socially moderate, anti-war, and protectionist, which he identifies as leftist.

Speaker 0: That makes no sense.
Speaker 1: Would you like me to explain
Speaker 0: please do. Yes, please.
Speaker 1: When I look at what president Trump ran on and the agenda that he's enacting right now, he took a Republican party that was built on social conservatism, foreign interventions and wars, and free trade and free markets. And he basically took an axe to all of those. During the campaign, he said, look. I mean, he's pretty pro gay. That's pretty obvious.
He appointed the highest ranking out gay person, Scott Bissent, our secretary of treasury, which is incredible. And he sidelined the pro life wing of his party.
Speaker 0: Changed the party for sure.
Speaker 1: Okay. So he believes abortion should be legal for twelve weeks on on foreign intervention. He's anti war. He's trying to to an end to all of these wars. Okay?
Speaker 0: By surrendering, but yes.
Speaker 1: Okay. He got he I mean,
Speaker 0: that is one way to end the war.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, he's he's on the other side of another party that at the downwardly mobile working class. He looked at the fact that working class Americans can no longer afford the American dream.

I find it intriguing how Bill Maher and Peggy Noonan appreciate Donald Trump's candidness with the press. Maher highlights a moment where Trump dismissed a question about visiting a crash site, calling it stupid. Noonan notes that Trump frequently engages with the media, making his thoughts clear, which contrasts with the usual opacity of politicians. It's refreshing to see someone who doesn't shy away from direct answers, especially in an era where political interviews often feel heavily edited.
@EricAbbenante - Eric Abbenante
Bill Maher and WSJ columnist Peggy Noonan give Donald Trump credit for his transparent answers to the press: Bill Maher: "They asked him a question about the crash: 'Will you visit the crash site' He went 'It's the water. What do you want me to do, swim there?' You're exactly right, it's a stupid question. You got exactly what you deserve. That's why they like him." Peggy Noonan: "It's so interesting to me that he meets with the press all the time. Normally if you're a member of the press you're wondering 'What's the president thinking?' With Trump you never wonder that." We've been used to politicians hiding, and having CBS edit their interviews more than a Marvel movie.
Video Transcript AI Summary
Donald Trump reflects a desire for a more direct and cutting style of politics. When asked about visiting a crash site, he responded bluntly, highlighting the absurdity of the question, which resonates with his supporters. His straightforwardness is appreciated, as he often shares his true thoughts openly with the press. This transparency offers a unique perspective, contrasting with typical political behavior. While his approach is polarizing, it showcases a positive aspect amidst the complexities of his persona.

Speaker 0: Donald Trump, who also was a reflection of changes, I think, within us. A sort of desire for a politics that's maybe a little rougher and more direct. A little. Yeah. And maybe more cutting and maybe more, Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I get it. You know, I mean, they asked them a question today, and I'm sure if you're of the type of person who just always hates the one team and loves what the other one does, they asked him a question about the crash. They said, will you visit the crash site? Now every other politician would go, of course, it was a tragedy.
And he went, it's the water. What do you want me to do? Swim there? You know? And I was like Exactly.
Fuck right. You're exactly right. It's a stupid question, and you got just this answer you deserve. Yeah. And that is why they like him.
Speaker 0: Yeah. Yeah. He also it's so interesting to me that he meets with the press all the time.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 0: Normally, if you're a member of the press, you're wondering what's the president really thinking and how's he gonna play it. With Donald Trump, you never wonder that. He will actually tell you what he's thinking and how he might play it. So so it's an interesting it's the positive side of a of a mixed bag, I guess.

I discuss the significant turning point in the political landscape, highlighting how the Democrats' lawfare against Trump backfired, making them appear radical and anti-democratic. I also emphasize my reasons for supporting Trump, particularly on immigration and women's rights, and criticize leaders like Kamala Harris and Karen Bass for their failures. Additionally, I address media accountability, specifically CNN's mishaps and George Stephanopoulos's disregard for journalistic standards. Lastly, I point out the hypocrisy of Democrats regarding Tulsi Gabbard's meeting with Assad, contrasting it with Nancy Pelosi's past actions.
@EricAbbenante - Eric Abbenante
Megyn Kelly categorically describes the lawfare against Trump as the Rubicon that the Democrats crossed: "The lawfare in general was the biggest turning point. The lawfare was a catastrophic mistake by the Democrats. Trying to criminalize a political battle, trying to go after one's political opponent with criminal charges. And on top of that, civil cases that could ruin a man trying to put him in jail was a bridge too far. The electorate rejected it out of hand as too much. It made the Democrats look radical. It made the Democrats look like they were the ones who were anti-democratic. It undermined their core argument against Trump On January 6th. They shot themselves in the foot. It was a before and after moment that we now cannot get back. Now we've crossed the Rubicon and anything's possible. If Adam Schiff or Hillary Clinton or Joe Biden winds up facing criminal charges under a Trump administration, I can tell you there are very few Republican voters who will feel sorry for them. They brought it upon themselves. We had never done this before. We made it almost 250 years without doing this to a president. And let me tell you, it wasn't because no president had ever come close to the legal line. We understood as a nation we didn't want to start turning ourselves into a banana republic. And I don't know where this goes from here, but whatever happens, it's their fault." Democrats trained all their guns on Trump, turned those guns around to point at themselves, and yelled 'FIRE'!
Video Transcript AI Summary
The law fair was a major misstep for the Democrats, attempting to criminalize political opposition. This strategy backfired, making them appear radical and undermining their arguments against Trump. The anger from the right intensified, especially after the FBI raid on Trump's home, which many viewed as politically motivated. The perception of manipulation during the investigation further fueled distrust. Historically, the U.S. has avoided prosecuting former presidents, but the actions taken by Democrats have changed the landscape. If similar charges arise against Democrats in the future, few Republican voters will sympathize, as this precedent was set by the current administration. The nation has crossed a significant line, and the consequences of this shift are now uncertain.

And on top of that, civil cases that could ruin a man.
Trying to put him in jail was a bridge too far. I know that there are gonna be a lot of left leaning Democrats who hate Trump watching this saying, but but rule of law. But no one's above the law. And I am here to tell you, even if that's true, and I don't happen to agree that he broke the law at all. But even if it's true, the electorate rejected it out of hand as too much.
It made the Democrats look radical. It made the Democrats look like they were the ones who were anti democratic. It undermined their core argument against Trump on January 6th. They shot themselves in the foot. And so as the cases started unrolling, rolling on, the anger on the right and the middle, which is where most of my audiences, grew.
And I saw it in my emails, in my comments, in the feedback I got from my audience, live on SiriusXM, and elsewhere. And the raid kicked it all off. The raid caused people to feel genuinely rageful. We had never seen such a thing. The FBI raided the home of a former president.
The FBI staged a photo op in which they placed the documents just so, and took photos, and then released those photos? As Merrick Garland was up there trying to tell us nothing had been manipulated and we could totally trust them that this was not politicized. We didn't believe him. We still don't believe him. I'm still angry about it as somebody who is a lawyer and practice law for 10 years.
It was a before and after moment that we now cannot get back. Now we've crossed the Rubicon, and anything's possible. And if Adam Schiff or Hillary Clinton or Joe Biden winds up facing criminal charges under a Trump administration, I can tell you there are very few Republican voters who will feel sorry for them. They brought it upon themselves. We had never done this before.
Hillary Clinton, everyone chanted lock her up in the Republican party. Trump smiled and waved along with the crowd while they did it. Did he do it? No. As soon as he was elected, he said, no.
I'm not doing that. That was rhetoric in the in the wake of the campaign and during the campaign. Only Joe Biden, only Merrick Garland, and the Democrats, from Fannie Willis up to Alvin Bragg and others, thought this was an okay line to cross in the United States of America. We made it almost 250 years without doing this to a president. And let me tell you, it wasn't because no president had ever come close to the legal line.
We understood as a nation, we didn't want to start turning ourselves into a banana republic. And I don't know where this goes from here, but whatever happens, it's their fault.

I’ve been discussing the challenges Californians face with wildfires and government inefficiencies. Adam Carolla emphasizes the importance of pool pumps for fire protection, highlighting how some homeowners saved their neighborhoods by using their pools. He criticizes California's government for imposing strict regulations on citizens while failing to hold themselves accountable. Carolla points out that voters in blue areas are now experiencing the consequences of their choices, as they deal with ineffective leadership and bureaucratic hurdles in the wake of disasters.
@EricAbbenante - Eric Abbenante
Adam Carolla advises pool owners in California to get pumps so that they can protect their houses from wildfires: "Get one of those high capacity pumps you can throw in your pool with a hose on the end of it. You'll have 50000 gallons of water sitting there." If you're buying a pool pump after your government failed to protect your house from a fire, I would consider also not voting Democrat.
Video Transcript AI Summary
If you have a home in a remote area with a swimming pool, consider getting a high-capacity pump. This pump can be placed in your pool, allowing you to access a significant amount of water—up to 50,000 gallons. In case of a water supply issue, your pool can serve as a reliable source. Simply drop the pump into the deep end, and you can use the water for your home. It's a practical solution to ensure you have water available when needed.

Speaker 0: I was thinking back on if you have a home and it's in a remote space and you have a swimming pool, get one of those high capacity pumps you can throw in your pool with a hose on the end of it. You'll have 50 1,000 gallons of water sitting there. And if the hydrants go dry and that bitch isn't around to fill them up or whatever, you have a body of water. It's called your swimming pool. You have to get a high capacity pump.
It's not that big a deal, and you literally throw it into the deep end of your pool, and you can pump as much you got a pool's worth of water to put on your house.

After being evacuated due to the LA wildfires, I ranted about the consequences of voting for leaders like Karen Bass and Gavin Newsom. I predict that frustrated Democrats will face bureaucratic hurdles when trying to rebuild, leading them to reconsider their political choices. The anger from encountering red tape will likely push them towards candidates like Trump or Rick Caruso. It’s ironic that those who supported the current system will be the ones most affected by it, revealing the failures of a government that Californians fund through high taxes.

All these people who are deep blue Democrats are now going to have to pull a permit to rebuild, and they're going to get the 28 year old bitch from the Coastal Commission telling them to go fuck off and then they're going to vote for Trump or whoever's Trumpian next. When they start getting the regulation, they're going to go nuts.

Those who lost their multimillion-dollar homes along PCH will struggle with the permit process, while others in Winnebagos will have moved on. For instance, Allen Hamill and Suzanne Somers left after failing to get a permit to rebuild their home. Progressive residents in Malibu and Santa Monica, who voted for leaders like Karen Bass and Gavin Newsom, are now facing the consequences of their choices as they deal with infrastructure issues and regulations. As they attempt to rebuild, they will encounter strict regulations from the coastal commission, leading to frustration. This experience may shift their political views, potentially driving them to support candidates who promise to reduce regulations. The coastal commission's strict policies may ultimately discourage rebuilding along the coast, causing significant discontent among these residents.

Speaker 0: The guys who lost their $20,000,000 homes on the ocean side of PCH will be knee deep in the permit process. They will be trying to pull permits when the guys in the Winnebago's will have been back for months, months before those guys ever get a permit. As a matter of fact, good fucking luck because here's the deal. Allen Hamill and Suzanne Somers moved because they could not get a permit to rebuild their home of 40 years on the ocean on PCH, right? So here's what's going to happen.
Let me just give you guys a little primer of what's going to happen. You know how Bill Maher seems real conservative now when he's like arguing with Jane Fonda about regulations, too many regulations, like strangling everything because remember when Bill Maher tried to put solar in his house in Beverly Hills, that's when he turned against the government because he saw what the government and the overreach of government and overregulation does. He got strangled. It took him 3 years to build a solar shack. He had old countdown on his show, you know, day 1000 since I've got my permit for my soul.
He turned. Okay. The people who live in Malibu, who live in Santa Monica, who live in the Palisades, those are some of the most progressive blue voters well, in the world or in the United States. They are a bastion of blue. So what those guys did is all the people in the Palisades, I I checked it out.
It's about 80 percent blue, 80% progressive, 80% democrat. Now these pussies are all sitting around crying about Karen Bass, water pressure, how come the forest wasn't cleared of all the brush, what's happening with infrastructure? You guys all voted for Karen Bass, the mayor of Los Angeles. You all voted for Gavin Newsom, and now you fucking get what you get. Oh, now that your house is on fire, well, now you're thinking about something else.
Now you wanna know what's going on. What's going on around here? You didn't give a shit about what was going on when other people's houses were on fire, but now you care. So here's what's going to happen. All these people who were deep blue Democrats are now gonna have to pull a permit to rebuild.
And they're gonna get the 28 year old bitch from the coastal commission telling them to go fuck off. And then they're gonna vote for Trump or whoever's Trumpian next. You see, they're going to get turned. They're going to get turned hard because as I've always said, live in the rent control apartment in Santa Monica, fine, good, we know how you vote. Go deal with the city.
Try to pull a permit. These Palisades. They love Santa Monica. There's gonna be a whole bunch of rich people, and they're gonna go, I'm rebuilding, and I wanna rebuild as fast as I can. And between the part where they go in to to planning commission and plan check and initially and try to pull a permit to the time the first load of lumber, the first load of 2 by 4s is dropped little tidbits that they didn't think about, like, to mention little tidbits that they didn't think about like Carson Daly.
You want a swimming pool? Yep. Got to be double hold. Really? Yeah.
Why? What if water leaches out and gets into the groundwater table? Carson Daly had to build a swimming pool like a modern day oil tanker, had to put like a double hold. That's all right. It'll just cost $500 for a swimming pool.
Like, that they're gonna be when they start getting the regulation, they're gonna go nuts. And when they start running into the bureaucracy and the red tape, they're gonna start going nuts, and they're gonna vote for Rick Caruso next time because they wanna get that's all Trump says is we're gonna we're gonna pull back the regulations. We're gonna free people up. They're gonna find out. They're gonna get bit by their own snake.
They're gonna convert. I am telling you these are the bluest people on the planet and they're gonna be fucking ripshit pissed when the city and the coastal commission tell them to fuck off. And by the way, I don't think the coastal commission is is gonna okay anyone rebuilding any of their houses on the coast because they're they say they're in the business of protecting the coast. They're in the business of getting you to leave. They they they will get their wish, which is no buildings, and they're gonna make it hard for everyone, and then we're gonna have to restructure the whole thing because we can't have 9 angry lesbians controlling everything that goes on in Malibu, the Palisades, and Santa Monica.

Video Transcript AI Summary
Protecting American jobs was a key theme of Donald Trump's campaign, particularly targeting the H-1B visa program, which allows companies to hire skilled foreign workers. Many businesses misuse this program, replacing American workers with cheaper foreign labor. Robert Harrison, an IT engineer at UCSF Medical Center, was informed he would lose his job and must train his replacement from India. This situation has led to protests by affected workers, who feel humiliated and betrayed. Critics argue that the H-1B program has been exploited, with companies prioritizing cost savings over American jobs. Former congressman Bruce Morrison expressed outrage over the program's misuse, emphasizing that it was intended to protect American workers. As companies increasingly outsource jobs, many American workers are left feeling vulnerable and devalued.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Protecting American jobs was a signature theme of president Donald Trump's make America great again campaign. A frequent target of candidate Trump was the h one b visa program. The program created more than 25 years ago allows American companies to fill gaps in the workforce from overseas with highly skilled employees who can't be found in the US. Many businesses use the program as intended, but we discovered more and more are taking advantage of loopholes in the law to fire American workers and replace them with younger, cheaper, temporary foreign workers with H1B visas. But before the American workers walk out the door, they often face the humiliating prospect of having to train the people taking their jobs.
The story will continue in a moment. Last October, Robert Harrison, a senior telecom engineer at the University of California San Francisco Medical Center, was called to a meeting at the university with about 80 of his IT coworkers.
Speaker 1: What did they say to you? We are sorry
Speaker 2: to inform you that as of February 28th, you'll no longer have a job. We're gonna outsource your position to, this company in India. To a company in India. Yes, sir.
Speaker 0: Harrison was told he could stay on the job, get paid for 4 more months, and get a bonus if he trained his replacement.
Speaker 2: Now I'm being told that I not only gonna lose my job, but I also have to train these people to take my job.
Speaker 1: Are you
Speaker 2: angry? Pissed. That exceeds angry. I'm really not a valiant guy. I love people.
But I've envisioned myself just backhanding the guy as he's sitting next to me, trying to learn what I know. And I was like, god, please don't let them send anybody to sit next to me to shadow me. I I don't wanna do this. I really don't.
Speaker 0: Harrison and his colleagues staged a protest outside the medical center. His fellow worker, senior systems administrator Kurt Ho, is losing his job too. He had just trained his replacement from India.
Speaker 3: I think for once, we're gonna stand up as American and say enough is enough. We're not gonna take it anymore.
Speaker 4: Thank you for standing up for what you believe in.
Speaker 0: Their rally was organized by this woman, Florida attorney Sarah Blackwell.
Speaker 4: This is about the companies making the decision that you are worthless to them.
Speaker 0: She represents 100 of US workers who were fired and replaced by foreign workers with h one b visas.
Speaker 4: When you tell someone their real reason for getting rid of these jobs is for cheap foreign labor. That should offend everyone.
Speaker 0: They have to train the worker who is going to take their job.
Speaker 4: Right. They are told by their company, if you don't train this person in a way that we approve of them being trained, then you don't get your severance.
Speaker 0: The UCSF Medical Center is a highly regarded state run institution. Administrators say outsourcing the IT jobs could save 30,000,000 taxpayer dollars over the next 5 years. That's a fraction of the university's $5,800,000,000 annual budget. But to Robert Harrison, it's his job.
Speaker 2: And I can't wrap my mind around training somebody to take my position. You know, this is my livelihood. How am I supposed to feel?
Speaker 0: I've heard some workers say that, this is like digging your own grave.
Speaker 1: Is that what it feels like?
Speaker 2: It feels worse than that. It feels like not only am I digging the grave, but I'm getting ready to stab myself in the in the gut and fall into the grave.
Speaker 0: When the h one b visa was created in 1990, it was intended to help the US attract and hold on to the best and brightest foreign graduates, like engineers and scientists, and provide a pathway to citizenship. At the time, members of congress promised US workers would be protected.
Speaker 5: This legislation protects American jobs.
Speaker 0: Former congressman Bruce Morrison, then chairman of the immigration committee, authored the bill. You came up with this legislation. What do you think of what it has become? I'm outraged
Speaker 5: the h one b has been hijacked as the main highway to bring people from abroad and displace Americans.
Speaker 0: Businesses insist the visas are absolutely necessary to compete for the best global talent and that even more h one b workers are needed to fill job shortages. Nearly every major high-tech company, including Apple, Google, Facebook, has employees here on h one b visas, media companies too, including CBS. The argument you hear from the high-tech firms is that they can't find enough qualified American workers. Well, there
Speaker 5: are a lot of qualified American workers, but the companies will do better financially if they hire the foreign worker rather than the American.
Speaker 0: The American workers are just as skilled as you are, perhaps even more skilled? Mhmm. So I can. Yes. That's true.
Rajesh works at a major Wall Street bank on an h one b visa. To protect his job and personal safety, he asked that we change his appearance and name. He was placed at the bank by one of the growing number of outsourcing companies. Most of these global staffing firms are based in India. They've become multibillion dollar enterprises supplying American companies with h one b workers like Rajesh to replace American workers.
Rajesh said he was never told in India he'd be taking Americans' jobs.
Speaker 3: I have to take all of their knowledge in. Basically, I have to steal it. That's my job description.
Speaker 0: And the American worker is let go? Oh.
Speaker 3: Yeah. The American workers lose their job, and they also cry while leaving the job.
Speaker 6: They cry.
Speaker 3: They've been working there 20 years, and suddenly I've taken their job. If I lose a job, I can go back to India. But where can they go?
Speaker 0: You must know that when most native born Americans see this going on, they blame
Speaker 3: you. Yes. But I'm not the enemy. The main villains are the Indian companies and their American corporate clients. They are exploiting us.
Speaker 0: Why can't we just say we're going to give jobs to Americans first?
Speaker 5: Well, that's what the statute says. But But they put in a loophole. And the loophole says, if you pay over $60,000, you can do that. And beside that, you don't have to try to find Americans. Well, $60,000 is not high pay for this kind of work.
People doing this work today easily make a 120 to a $140,000. Who put in that loophole? Well, the it was done by Congress, but, obviously, the industry lobbied for it. It's really a travesty that should never have been allowed to happen.
Speaker 6: It wasn't called training a replacement. It was called knowledge transfer.
Speaker 0: Craig D'Angelo worked for Northeast Utilities, now called Eversource, and was one of 220 IT workers replaced by h one b visa employees. D'Angelo says his replacement, a worker from India, told him he was making half D'Angelo's salary with no benefits.
Speaker 6: I didn't get laid off for lack of work. I got laid off because somebody cheaper could do my job.
Speaker 0: To anyone who would say you're anti immigrant. No. That's a lie. No. That's a lie.
Speaker 6: You don't wanna have any animosity towards them because they're looking for a better way of life.
Speaker 0: We met with this group of workers who all had to train replacements. Leo Pereiro had just received high performance reviews from Disney. When he was called into a personnel meeting, he expected a raise and a promotion. And instead
Speaker 7: I was given the news that in 90 days, my job was over, and I had to train my replacement. Never in my life did I imagine, until this happened at Disney, that I could be sitting at my desk and somebody would be flown in from another country Right. Sit at my same desk and chair, and take over what I was doing. It was the most humiliating and demoralizing thing I've ever gone through in my life.
Speaker 0: The issue was getting little notice until it caught the attention of the Trump campaign.
Speaker 8: Love you. Thank you.
Speaker 0: Mister Trump himself had hired foreign fashion models on h one b visas for his New York modeling agency. But when he saw how the theme of protecting American jobs resonated with his followers, he put Sarah Blackwell and fired workers like Leo Perreiro on center stage.
Speaker 4: And there's two reasons, there's two words of why this is happening, corporate greed.
Speaker 0: Attacking the h one b visa program fit perfectly with mister Trump's message and tapped into America's simmering anger at the corporate and political status quo.
Speaker 8: And you believe that? You get laid off, and then they won't give you your severance pay unless you train the people that are replacing you. I mean, that's that's actually demeaning, maybe more than anything else.
Speaker 0: What are these h one b visa workers bringing to the table?
Speaker 1: I think they're bringing a much different skill level.
Speaker 0: Mukesh Aghi is president of the US India Business Council. He has been an executive at India Based Outsourcing Companies, and he was president of IBM India. About 70% of the 85,000 h one b visas given out each year go to workers from India. He says the h one b visa is just one part of a burgeoning US India trade relationship that benefits both countries.
Speaker 1: India has become a buyer of US defense equipment. It's a two way trade which is taking place, so we can't look at h one b in isolation itself.
Speaker 0: You really believe that the Indian workers are better educated, better skilled, have skills the American workers do not have? No.
Speaker 1: No. I'm not saying that. Of all due respect to the US worker.
Speaker 0: So why are they getting the jobs and the Americans are losing them? Why are they not being done by American workers? Well, I
Speaker 1: think you have to ask with the companies who are taking those decisions. Because it's cheaper. That's one factor. Every company is out there to make money with the cheapest possible way itself, and that's what's happening.
Speaker 5: Well, I would say so. The workers being brought in don't know anything more than the workers they're replacing. They know less, And that's why they have to be retrained or trained by the American workers who are being laid off. This is not about skills. This is about costs.
Speaker 0: But saving money on labor was not the law's intended purpose. Robert Harrison says the money saved can't replace the dedication of
Speaker 2: his IT team. So our jobs, they're they're not menial jobs. They're very important. Somebody's child is laying in the children's hospital fighting for their life, and they depend on us. I see parents laying up all night long in the room with their child who's fighting for their life.
And you're gonna bring somebody in here that has no clue, has no sympathy, don't know the urgency to make sure that everything those people need is supplied right now,
Speaker 6: it's not gonna happen. We're Americans.
Speaker 0: Craig D'Angelo says at Northeast Utilities, the fired workers pressured to stay and train their replacements launched a quiet protest.
Speaker 6: Every one of us that would be let go had an American flag sticking out of the cubicles, row after row after row. As we were let go, those flags were taken down. I was the last person let go. I went in, and I took the last picture. There were no more flags left.
You have a queasiness in your stomach when you look around, and you're saying, this this can't be possible. This this this didn't happen.
Speaker 0: But it did happen to Craig and Dawn and Leo and workers at 100 of companies across the country. Former head of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano, now president of the University of California, faced a huge public outcry when she got rid of those 80 IT jobs at the medical center. She declined to give us an on camera interview, but stated publicly that the university, quote, didn't use the h one b process in the right way. She instructed the Indian outsourcing company to stop using h one b workers. Alright, Kurt.
But that comes too late for Kurt Ho and Robert Harrison.
Speaker 8: Give them help. Three
Speaker 0: weeks ago, they packed up, their final day at the medical center.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a matter of time before everybody else feels the same burden, the same pinch, the same hurt that we're feeling right here at UCSF. It's a matter of time.

I shared my frustration about being forced to train my replacement before losing my job to outsourcing, which feels humiliating and demeaning. Many Americans are facing similar situations due to the H-1B visa program, which allows companies to replace skilled workers with cheaper foreign labor. Despite claims of a skills shortage, qualified Americans are overlooked for profit. I believe we need to stand up for ourselves and prioritize American workers, as the current system seems designed to exploit us rather than support our workforce.

Nancy Mace firmly opposes biological men in women's spaces, asserting a strong stance on privacy and safety for women. She criticizes the left for their hypocrisy in promoting kindness while attacking those with differing views, like herself and J.K. Rowling. Mace expresses frustration over being confronted by individuals who justify forcing rape victims to undress in front of men, calling their arguments extreme. Piers Morgan echoes her sentiments, labeling "The View" as irrelevant and calling for its cancellation.

Nancy Mace draws a red line in the sand that biological men should not be in women's spaces. Piers Morgan notes that those in the party that pretends to 'be kind' threaten those that disagree: Nancy Mace:"We have to put a line in the sand, big, fat, bold red line and say, hell no, no more like I am going to fight like hell for this. I don't want chicks with dicks in my bathroom, in my dressing room. I don't want to be forced to change in front of a man, period. The fact that you're willing to kill a woman over her right to privacy it's insanity. Piers Morgan: "You know, what's fascinating is you're obviously a conservative, but J.K. Rowling, whose had exactly the same experience that you have for raising exactly the same concerns. She's very much to the left. So they're pretty nondiscriminatory in the abuse and threats that they dished out. The trans lobby over this. It comes from a group of people on the left who love to put hashtag Bekind in their X profiles and claim they stand for empathy and compassion and so on. They don't show any of that to people like you or J.K. Rowling, who stand up over the parapet. Nancy Mace: "The party says they're going to protect women. They only mean they're only going to protect trans women." The only lesson liberals taught the world after 'Me Too' was that Harvey Weinstein could have gotten away with any crimes as long as he wore a dress. The Democrat party is a 'diverse' hive-mind that will threaten anyone with divergent opinions.
Video Transcript AI Summary
I have experienced the consequences of abuse and believe women's private spaces should be exclusively for women. Rape victims should not have to undress in front of men. This issue is pervasive in schools and public facilities, and I will fight against it. Critics claim my language fuels transphobia, but I have supported LGBTQ rights while opposing policies that allow men in women's spaces. I've received numerous death threats for my stance, highlighting the extreme reactions from some. Many women, including those from the left, feel marginalized by these policies. It's crucial to protect women's rights without compromising safety. The hypocrisy of those who preach kindness while attacking dissenters is evident. The focus should be on protecting all women's rights, not just those of trans women.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: And so I have suffered the consequences of abuse, and I know firsthand how women's private spaces should be just for women. Rape victims like myself or any woman, for that matter should not be forced to undress in front of men. And that's what the insanity of the left, that's what their policies are causing, not just on Capitol Hill, but all across the country in schools, in locker rooms, dressing rooms, bathrooms. This is happening everywhere, and we have to put a line in the sand, big, fat, bold red line, and say, hell no. No more.
Like, I I am gonna fight like hell for this. I I don't want chicks with dicks in my bathroom, in my dressing room. I don't wanna be forced to change in front of a man, period. And it's a trigger for me. And I absolutely am gonna go to the mat for women and girls everywhere and put a stop to it.
Speaker 1: You know, your critics say when you use phrases like chicks with dicks, you're being deliberately inflammatory, and you're fueling transphobia that you have essentially a hatred of trans people. What would you say to them?
Speaker 0: I would say they're they're completely off the rails. They're worried about feelings and not facts, and the facts are, Pierce. I voted for gay marriage not once, but twice. I have cosponsored legislation to protect the rights of those in the LGBTQ community, but I draw a line, the insanity of the left that thinks it's okay for a man and his penis to be in our private spaces. And look, Pierce, I was receiving 100 of death threats a day last week.
I got over a 1000 death threats. I have had to increase my security. Some guy tried to rush the stage last week trying to get at me. I've had multiple people in front of Capitol Police that were guarding me come up to me and tried to verbally or physically accost me over the last couple of days. The fact that you're willing to kill a woman over her right to privacy is it's insanity.
And I feel like the more that they come after me, the harder I'm gonna fight back, the harder I'm gonna push back. This is it's it's rabid insanity is what it is.
Speaker 1: You know, what's fascinating is that you're obviously a conservative, but JK Rowling, who's had exactly the same experience that you have for raising exactly the same concerns, she's very much to the left. So they're pretty, you know, nondiscriminatory in the abuse and threats that they dish out the the trans lobby over this. And and, again, I've always said, you know, all I want for trans people is the same rights to fairness and equality that I enjoy and that you enjoy and everybody else enjoys. But what it can't do, and I felt strongly about this for years, it cannot erode women's rights to fairness, equality, and safety, and that's really what the number of this debate is. You know, when you see people like AOC, for example, screeching away about you, what do you feel?
Because I always feel with her, you know, on the one hand, she's all for, we've gotta protect women's rights for abortion, for example, but she doesn't give a damn about 6 foot 5 inch biological males dominating women's sport or getting into boxing rings in women's boxing at the Olympics and winning gold medals by beating up actual women when they have male chromosomes. So it's a complete double standard, and I think it's partly one of the reasons they got such a thumping in the election. Because I think most people are like, you know what? This stuff's nuts.
Speaker 0: Totally. And you saw Kamala Harris. She won women at a lesser margin than Joe Biden did. When he won in 2020, he won women by plus 13 points. Kamala won women by 8 points, and so women are trending away from the Democrat party.
And in fact, just a few minutes ago before we got on to to tape this interview, I heard from a yet another Democrat woman who is sick and tired of being marginalized by the left. And I've heard from lesbians. I've heard from gays. And, you know, they're like, you know, we understand you wanna protect our rights and this goes too far. We get it.
We support you. And so I appreciate all of I'm grateful for everyone of every political stripe, every orientation who said, we're with you because this is gonna take an army to push back against 1 half of 1 percent of the population, and literally they're putting my life in danger. I've been called an extremist, a right winger, and I am conservative, but what they're doing, the violent rhetoric they're using is putting the lives of my life and my kids' lives in danger, and it's not okay. And I'm just gonna fight back. I'm gonna fight back harder.
Speaker 1: Well, it is absolutely shocking that you've been receiving all these death threats. It's shocking. It's outrageous. It's shameful, and it comes from a group of people on the left who love to put hashtag be kind in their x profiles and and claim they stand for empathy and compassion and so on. They don't show any of that to people like you or JK Rowling who stand up over the parapet.
You know, I think you have Riley Gaines as well who's been incredibly brave in in the sports issue and has had similar experience where she's been literally barricaded in in buildings as howling mobs have descended on her. There's a real hypocrisy there, isn't there, that the be kind brigade are often the most vicious?
Speaker 0: The party of joy. The party says they're gonna protect women. They only mean they're only gonna protect trans women.

OFFICIAL FILM RELEASE: The Trial of Anthony Fauci A film by @lovelilahart and myself. On the 1 year anniversary of our first film release July 4th 2022. The film makes the case to remove Fauci's medical license, to protect the public from his unethical experiments #FauciFilm https://t.co/fO3lx8YFco
Video Transcript AI Summary
Andrew Wakefield's medical license was revoked for unethical practices, and our film argues that Anthony Fauci should face similar scrutiny. The discussion covers vaccine efficacy, the use of fetal tissues, and the potential for future pandemics. It highlights Fauci's role in AIDS research, the manipulation of data in AZT trials, and the ethical concerns surrounding gain of function research. The narrative suggests that Fauci's actions have led to public mistrust in the medical community and that his decisions may have caused more harm than good. Ultimately, the film presents a case against Fauci, alleging he prioritized pharmaceutical interests over public health. The trial of Anthony Fauci serves as a broader examination of scientific integrity and the consequences of unethical research practices.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Andrew Wakefield's medical license was revoked to protect the public from his unethical experiments, charged with falsifying data, harming participants, and fraud. Our film intends to make the same case for doctor Anthony Fauci.
Speaker 1: And if you vaccinate someone who's not infected and you have an effective vaccine, when they get exposed, they won't be infected.
Speaker 2: But the ones that you absolutely are not gonna convince, you need to put some pressure.
Speaker 1: Many of us use fetal tissues for cell lines,
Speaker 2: but also there will be a surprise outbreak. Needing to learn from people that I never thought I would be learning things from, namely bio weaponers. The next pandemic, and there will be one. There will absolutely be an outbreak of another pandemic.
Speaker 0: Additionally, under judgment, the vaccine platform mRNA, the origins of COVID 19, the concept of gene editing, and the spike protein.
Speaker 2: And you're all familiar with the DNA vaccine probably gonna be replaced by mRNA soon, but By using the power of DNA, recombinant DNA technology, you could talk about
Speaker 1: the development of vaccine. Does
Speaker 2: Does the vaccine make you worse? And there are diseases in which you vaccinate someone. They get infected with what you're trying to protect them with, and you actually enhance the infection. I wanted to pick out the one cell
Speaker 1: that if I damage that cell, I would do the most damage to the immune system. I, as an immunologist, would pick out the t 4 cell.
Speaker 3: That retroviruses in a more attenuated form are the major vehicles for gene therapy. So it really is gene therapy, unfortunately, it's it's destruction and not therapy.
Speaker 1: In the topic for today, which is gain of function research on polypathogenic avian influenza h 5 n 1.
Speaker 0: The trial of Anthony Fauci, July 4, 2023.
Speaker 2: The idea came from a physician scientist in the UK years ago who did a study saying that there was a connection between the measles vaccine and autism. And as it turned out, not only was the data incorrect, it was fabricated and false. And for that, that person has been disbarred from practicing medicine. Welcome, ladies and gentlemen. You're about to see a story of murder, greed, corruption, violence, exploitation, adultery, and treachery, all the things we hold near and dear to our hearts.
And then the show starts.
Speaker 4: Ladies and gentlemen in the jury of the court of public opinion, we, the prosecution, stand before you today representing the people of the state in a criminal matter against the defendant in the trial of Anthony Fauci. The matter before us today concerns acts of misconduct across the entire career of Anthony Fauci as a public health official for the United States government. We will show by producing documentary evidence that the defendant is guilty as charged to the following, inciting fear in the public to raise funds for the NIH, overseeing unethical experimental research with manipulated data, improper relationships with regulators in the pharmaceutical industry, favoring toxic drugs over safer alternatives, purposefully developing obsolete therapeutics for a rapidly mutating virus, mandating medical apartheid, committing perjury, funding dangerous gene editing experiments.
Speaker 5: Fauci is the director of the National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases and is the commanding officer in the nation's scientific war against AIDS.
Speaker 6: When a man of doctor Fauci's stature says they need more, we're gonna listen.
Speaker 7: And Tony is kind of the last word in medicine. Have you asked Tony? Because if you haven't asked Tony, you haven't asked the top. And if you have asked it, you got the right answer.
Speaker 2: Wanna tip my hat to the FDA. They have worked with us right from the very beginning. I have never been muzzled ever, and I've been doing this since the administration of Ronald Reagan. I'm not being muzzled by this administration.
Speaker 4: With a career spanning across 7 presidents, let the jury rest assured that the accused is the most appropriate person to stand trial today. At the conclusion of this trial, we are confident that you will find the defendant guilty of the charges for which he has accused in the court of public opinion. To understand the scope of Fauci's alleged crimes, one must review the history of the science utilized during his tenure. Investigations of the history of gene editing reveal the true genesis of HIV and AIDS. Scientists playing god by manipulating viruses.
1966, molecular biologist warned of the potential dangers of gene editing. Retroviruses, viruses that cause cancer, are vital in the process of gene editing. Reverse transcriptase is a retrovirus enzyme that copies the host DNA, giving retroviruses the ability to change the host's DNA and adapt its own genetics to the host. Gene editing is a scientific attempt to control the most dangerous viruses known to mankind. The optimist of molecular biology promised that gene editing would provide knowledge of the human genome that would remedy genetic mishaps.
In an honest examination, molecular biologists described the prospects of gene editing as terrifying because gene editing could be used as a subtle means of homicide. Molecular biologists admitted gene editing led to only 2 possible outcomes, destructive transformation or death with a final warning about gene editing. There are dangers in knowing what should not be known. In other words, do not open Pandora's box. In 1970, the United States attempted to open that Pandora's box.
The Department of Defense was allocated $10,000,000 to produce a synthetic biological agent that could destroy the immune system with no possible natural immunity. 1972, the World Health Organization bulletin directed scientists to study animal viruses in humans to determine their effects on the immune system, seeking out animal viruses such as retroviruses and hepatitis that selectively depress the immune system, particularly the t cell, with a goal of prolonging disease in humans. Using human subjects as guinea pigs in studying viruses was supported scientifically in 1971. Animal retroviruses were found to adapt to their human hosts, transform human cells, replicate themselves, and integrate themselves into the host's DNA. Retroviruses mutate quicker than any virus, approximately 1% per year.
The original animal retrovirus studied in humans was s v 40, a cancer causing simian retrovirus contaminating all polio vaccines until 1964. This retrovirus, s v 40, was used to successfully edit the first genes in 1972, spawning the birth of gene editing and recombinant DNA. Pandora's box had been opened. Further study of how retroviruses jump species from 1 mammalian host to another led to the discovery of the first immune system depressing factor that specifically inhibited t cells. 4 years after the 1972 request from the WHO to find retroviruses that could inhibit t cell function, Mass vaccination campaigns of the fifties, sixties, and seventies led to the study of animal retroviruses in humans, repeating the mistake of the polio vaccine contaminated with monkey retrovirus SV 40, The smallpox vaccine used in campaigns across the world were contaminated with various cattle retroviruses.
Cow retroviruses, bovine syncytial virus, and bovine leukemia virus were found in apparently healthy cattle across the world. The smallpox vaccine made directly from cattle was contaminated by these viruses. Retroviruses, bovine leukemia virus and the sheep visnavirus adapted to each other through recombination inside cattle host to create bovine bisnavirus. In 1978, bovine bisnavirus adapted to human tissue, giving it the ability to infect humans. Bovine bisnavirus, a cancerous retrovirus with the ability to prolong disease, fit all the requirements of the 1972 and 1970 requests.
Bovine Visnovirus was found to be a common contaminant of fetal calf serum in laboratories worldwide. Fetal calf serum is a vital ingredient for vaccine production, including the smallpox vaccines and the hepatitis b vaccine. The 1978 1980 hepatitis b vaccine trial participants were exclusively homosexual men from New York City, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. Retrospective studies of the hepatitis b vaccine trial show that 11 of the first 24 AIDS cases were participants in these trials. By 1980 3, 62% of the participants had developed AIDS.
In 1987, the World Health Organization contracted with an epidemiologist to research the correlation between the WHO smallpox vaccination campaigns and the AIDS epidemic in Africa. The epidemiologist found a direct correlation. The WHO smallpox vaccination sites correlate with HIV epidemic spread, and a 19 year old army recruit was admitted to have developed AIDS after smallpox vaccination. Other researchers feared supporting this theory not because of the facts, but fear that it would be seen as criticism of the WHO. Bovine Visnavirus, a disease so strikingly similar to HIV that it was renamed BIV, bovine immunodeficiency virus, whereas, immunodeficiency virus, which to this day is said to be the source of HIV, is unrelated to HIV, and this is corroborated by the fact that monkeys infected with HIV do not contract the illness.
Bovine Visovirus was predicted to have the same outcomes of the HIV pandemic in 1978. Bovine Visovirus may play a role in either malignant or slow virus disease in man. Exposure of genetically predisposed individuals may result in apparent or latent infections. After analyzing HIV's core proteins and glycoprotein envelope, it was determined that the virus could not have originated from nature and most likely occurred from vaccine contamination with retroviruses. The origins of HIV and AIDS are not from the jungles of Africa or homosexual behavior.
The origins of HIV and AIDS are from retrovirus contaminated vaccine programs. Smallpox vaccine contamination led to HIV in America, and the hepatitis b vaccine trials led to HIV in America. There is evidence that the defendant, mister Fauci, was aware of this information while overseeing AIDS research for the NIH.
Speaker 1: 1, 2, 3 testing.
Speaker 8: 1, 2, 3. 1, 2, 3. Doctor Anthony Fauci with the National Institutes of Health. Doctor Fauci, given doctor Oleski's work, do you see any direction, any turn that has been made in this disease given especially Oleski's work?
Speaker 1: When you have a situation that we're seeing here with this recent article by Olesby in which children, household contacts of either individuals with AIDS or individuals at high risk for AIDS have indeed a syndrome that's, identical to AIDS syndrome, that tells you that it's quite possible that just intimate contact outside of the sexual contact, blood transmission route is a possible mechanism whereby this disease can be transmitted. If that's the case, then indeed implications for the spread to even other groups besides infants and children become something that needs to be reckoned with. So I think it is going to have a major impact on our thinking about what the real confines of the syndrome will be.
Speaker 0: Fauci incited a national panic by validating the Aleski paper stating AIDS could be spread by casual contact to children. Fauci repeated this claim in print, scientific publications, and television. As a public health official, Fauci understood that evoking fear would increase his power and resources as the overseer of AIDS research for the NIH.
Speaker 9: The cause of AIDS is unknown, so is how it is transmitted. These facts add up to an officially declared medical epidemic. They have also, according to Margaret Heckler, secretary of health and human services, spawned a second psychological epidemic, one of fear, fear of catching AIDS. Both epidemics have been widely reported in the last few weeks as any regular newspaper reader and television viewer know.
Speaker 10: Fear of AIDS has been building for months in the gay community, but it was a report in a medical journal in early May about some of the affected children that helped spread the fear among the general public. The report suggested that AIDS AIDS could be spread to family members through casual contact, a conclusion disputed by many doctors. Still, it's been charged that the fear has spread faster than the disease.
Speaker 6: Paramedics worried about being infected by AIDS take what they believe are reasonable precautions. They're fearful because so little is known about how the disease is transmitted.
Speaker 11: They burned everything this man owned because they were afraid that just by touching it, that they could come down with AIDS.
Speaker 1: There's absolutely no evidence whatever that you can get AIDS from a risk group patient, such as a male homosexual or an IV drug user, by the usual everyday contact that you have with an individual. So that's an unfounded fear, we believe.
Speaker 6: Researchers on both side the of the Atlantic say they are ready to announce they now have strong evidence that a cancer virus is the cause of the deadly disease AIDS acquired immune deficiency syndrome. Still, the researchers cautioned that further work is needed to confirm absolutely that the virus is the cause of AIDS and not just another one of the many bugs that take advantage of victims' weakened immune systems.
Speaker 12: The probable cause of AIDS has been found. Variant of a known human cancer virus called hlt HTLV 3. 2nd, not only has the agent been identified, but a new process has been developed to mass produce this virus. With discovery of both the virus and this new process, we now have a blood test for AIDS, which we hope can be widely available within about 6 months. We've applied for a patent on this process today.
Thus, we should be able to ensure that blood for transfusions is free from AIDS. We hope to have such a vaccine ready for testing in approximately 2 years.
Speaker 13: What about the what's the why is it
Speaker 9: gonna take 2 years to get a vaccine?
Speaker 14: Well, in the first place, we have to isolate some portion of the virus. We think by a process known as recombinant DNA, not doesn't make much difference what the name is, but that's the name of it, that we will be able to produce a portion of the virus that will stimulate the production of antibodies without causing the disease. I think what we have shown is that retroviruses can cause serious illnesses in people, that the implications of this, I think will open up new areas of concern.
Speaker 12: Today, we're going to be listening to doctor Anthony Fauci. He's going to be talking about AIDS.
Speaker 1: When I first read in the report from the CDC of these cases of strange infections and tumors in patient in in in male homosexuals in New York City area and in California, LA, and San Francisco. How this disease, which we surmised early on, started off in the male homosexual population in this country. It's straightforward epidemiology. You take an infectious agent and you introduce it into a population in which the spread among those individuals, if it's sexual contact spread, it's a perfect setup to spread. Now I suggested the hypothesis to you that the disease started off in this country within the male homosexual population, and that's exactly what happened.
There are some theories of how it got introduced into the male homosexual population. If that is the case, which indeed it is, then the transmissibility will relate to the contacts within the male homosexual population as well as the overlap between the male homosexual population and other population that became risk groups. And now that's very clearly seen. Now you keep getting asked why the male homosexual population. Well, as I mentioned, for reasons that will become clear the virus was introduced into the population from the homosexual group to the needles of IV drug users.
Hence, you now have it in IV drug users who spread it among themselves by sharing the needle, which is contaminated by this virus. Clearly, we have documented a significant number of cases of transfusion related AIDS. In essence, AIDS is a difficult disease to catch. It definitely is a difficult disease to catch. We know how it's transmitted, but you can be exposed to that agent and not at all get the disease.
Now what about the geographic origin of AIDS? The scientific data is that AIDS exists in Africa, in Central Africa, particularly in Zaire. It exists in a rather substantial way. The incidence of AIDS in Zaire is as great as it is per 100,000 population as it is in San Francisco. We know that the disease existed there in the early seventies before it existed in the United States.
This t cell is called t because it's derived from the thymus gland helper cell responsible for helping not only this b cell, but all other cells perform their function. It's the catalyst that makes the immune system go. It's the focal cell that orchestrates the immune system. We have suppressor cells, which can actually dampen down the immune system. So we have b cells making the antibodies, t cell doing the orchestration, suppressor cells keeping the lid on things so that the immune system doesn't run away with itself.
When it does, as a matter of fact, that's how you get autoimmune disease. How does HTLV 3 affect these human t cells? Well, it selectively infects the t cell. It has what we call a tropism for it. If you put a lot of cells in the tube and you throw an HTLV 3, it'll go right for that t 4 cell and infect it.
It has an affinity for the helper cell. It seems to leave the suppressor cell alone. This t 4 cell, as I alluded to earlier, is the critical cell. What it does is that it's responsible in a direct or indirect way for virtually everything the immune system does. See, I wanted to pick out the one cell that if I damage that cell, I would do the most damage to the immune system.
I, as an immunologist, would pick out the t four cell. That's exactly what this virus did. It picked out the t four cell. In essence, AIDS is a difficult disease to catch.
Speaker 4: How is HIV most efficiently transmitted, mister Fauci?
Speaker 1: By sharing the needle, which is contaminated by this virus.
Speaker 4: Contaminated injections. Mhmm. Then how did HIV emerge at first only in the homosexual male populations of the United States?
Speaker 1: Why the male homosexual population? For reasons that will become clear shortly, the virus was introduced into the population. That the disease started off in this country within the male homosexual population, and that's exactly what happened. There are some theories of how it got introduced into the male homosexual population.
Speaker 4: According to you, mister Fauci, AIDS is a difficult disease to catch unless you receive a contaminated injection. AIDS only emerged in very specific populations of homosexual men from New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco during 1978 to 1980. Since there are contaminated vaccine trials that correspond with the date and population of HIV's origins, would this be the introduction of HIV in America?
Speaker 1: Well, it's straightforward epidemiology. You take an infectious agent and you introduce it into a population.
Speaker 4: Why would the WHO and the Department of Defense want to develop a virus that selectively inhibits the t cell if they had a joint goal of prolonging disease in humans?
Speaker 1: You have one cell that's infected specifically with a virus that has a given function, and yet when you look at the immune system, it is globally wiped out, that those different cells are critically dependent upon that one cell that's the victim of the virus.
Speaker 4: No further questions at this time, your honor.
Speaker 15: The test does not, however, show whether a person has or ever will have AIDS. While the test only indicates a potential for contracting AIDS, many fear it may be misconstrued as a diagnosis of AIDS. Diagnosis, which in many cases has cost people their homes, their friends, and their jobs. How accurate is the test?
Speaker 2: We don't we don't know yet.
Speaker 16: But this whole question of false positives and false negatives has plagued medicine for centuries.
Speaker 17: Last week, a school board in the Queens area of New York said it would prohibit children with AIDS from attending school. 7th grader Ryan White of Kokomo, Indiana is a hemophiliac. Last December, he got the AIDS diagnosis. Now he has to attend school from the other side of a telephone.
Speaker 18: We're not talking about discriminating against gays. We are talking about discriminating against someone with an infectious disease.
Speaker 10: In just 4 years, the federal research money for AIDS in this country has multiplied from 5 and a half $1,000,000 in 1980 2 to $109,000,000 this year, and it's expected to double to $200,000,000 next year.
Speaker 19: Now when you take a sexually transmitted virus and you introduce it into a population in which there is a lot of sexual interaction among the group, you will see, as a result, spread of that agent within that risk group. And, unfortunately, that's exactly what happened with the male homosexual population. Somehow, the virus got introduced into that population, and that virus happens to be a sexually transmitted virus. But it isn't intrinsically related to the concept of homosexuality. Why then is it not spreading as rapidly in brothels among the promiscuous heterosexuals?
Because the disease hasn't been introduced in the sense of of being interposed into that population. How can it not be introduced there when you consider the number of bisexuals that
Speaker 13: Well, that
Speaker 19: that's another point.
Speaker 0: AIDS spread in Africa and every other nation among the general population because those nations receive the WHO's smallpox vaccine. Only in America, HIV spread among homosexual males because
Speaker 19: Somehow the virus got introduced into that population.
Speaker 6: An American doctor reported today that an AIDS sufferer he treated is apparently well after cell and bone marrow transfusions from an identical twin. Doctor. Anthony Fauci cautioned that this is not a breakthrough. He called it a small but important building block of knowledge.
Speaker 9: Yesterday, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases said another 1,000 AIDS victims would be added to experimental programs, meaning roughly 1 third of all victims would be involved. Here is a sample of the procon testimony today.
Speaker 1: Perhaps should be clarified as what you mean by by promising. Sometimes things are considered promising based on really virtually no very flimsy types of evidence. And that's the whole purpose of these treatment evaluation units to as establish as quickly and as expeditiously as possible what is promising and what is safe and what is effective so that we can make those as quickly available in a wide spread manner to as many patients as we possibly can. Probably one of the fastest pushing throughs of contract reviews and implementation than we that we've had in, at least in my memory. Group of individuals who have access to the data so that the code of a controlled study can be broken if, in fact, certain results look to be very good or very harmful before the end of the study.
In this way, you don't have undue time in doing a study in which you have your answer right away, nor do you allow a study to go on further than it should when it's obvious that there's significant toxicity. There's a clinical trials coordinating group which will have access to all the data in a database so that it will be easily able to be analyzed and made available so that one would know rather quickly the data as it becomes available.
Speaker 20: As you've been listening to the testimony from the earlier panel, professionals out there as well as the the patients have no sense that in fact there is a ready availability of that information at this point.
Speaker 1: Hopefully, we'll change that. No. We probably could do some more.
Speaker 16: Why aren't we doing it?
Speaker 1: I think one of the reasons probably would be that the limited resources is that certain agents are and we've already shown a couple with AIDS are not safe. They make the patient worse. So if you give everyone the drug and they're all getting worse, you won't notice that unless you're comparing it with someone who's not getting it to say, well, we're really concerned about the patients who have the disease now, which we are in fact quite concerned. Let's modify the scientific integrity of the study. The real shame and tragedy will be 5 years down the pike if because of that compromise, we still don't have an age that's safe and effective.
We because we compromised our method of testing it. That would be the real
Speaker 9: At last, there is some good news to report on AIDS. An experimental drug called AZT has been shown to prolong the lives of AIDS victims, they said, and it will now be made available to AIDS patients throughout the United States.
Speaker 14: Half of the patients received a sugar pill and half received a zytozymeidine AZT.
Speaker 9: Doctor, how important is this announcement today?
Speaker 1: It's really quite important. This has been the first time that an agent that blocks the virus which causes AIDS, the AIDS virus, has been shown to have a significant clinical effect in a carefully controlled study. So the implications of this are really quite important. Drug has shown to be effective by the study that was just terminated.
Speaker 9: Least we are closer to a cure before AZT was found on the shelf at the Burroughs Welcome Company.
Speaker 1: We are certainly much closer to an effective treatment for this disease with this particular agent than we have been up to this time in the history of AIDS. The
Speaker 4: AZT trials are a master class of data manipulation, and Fauci was complicit as overseer of AIDS research. AZT trials had to be terminated early due to the amount of deaths during the study. 95% of participants didn't finish the trial, lasting only an average of 17 weeks on AZT. Placebo and experimental groups mixed due to the smell of AZT making the pills easily distinguishable. Deaths in the AZT group were reported as placebo deaths.
The FDA judged these discrepancies didn't influence the validity of the data, inviting all of the industries it regulates to join in on the lawlessness. Pharmaceutical manufacturer, Burroughs Wellcome, claimed 4,000 studies demonstrated the benefits of AZT when there were zero studies proving AZT benefits. In fact, AZT was shown to be a potential carcinogen that was more dangerous than the AIDS disease itself. AZT performed worse than placebo by making patients more susceptible to disease. Fauci, as overseer of AIDS research, refused investigation of other AIDS drug options, creating a pharmaceutical monopoly.
Fauci's NIAID enrolled 1 third of AIDS victims in the AIDS drug experiments that were more harmful than the disease, leading to skewed AIDS mortality rates that influenced the government to give more tax dollars to the NIAID, part of the public health service that allegedly created the AIDS problem. By manipulating the AZT data, the dangers of AIDS drugs were concealed, leading to more deaths than if there were no pharmaceutical interventions. As the ACT news distracted the public, the Reagan administration passed the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986, protecting vaccine manufacturers from lawsuits for vaccine related deaths and injuries.
Speaker 1: If you look at people who have any experience and looked at the data, overwhelmingly, they will tell you that it is not spread by casual contact. And what we're seeing here in these polls with the quarantine answer, the answer with regard to casual contact or what have you is a skepticism about that. But I don't think there's very much disagreement among experts, at least experts who who who are informed experts, that in fact there is not casual contact. I know of no good researcher anywhere in the world who disagrees with the statements that we have been making. One of the disadvantages, the potential disadvantages, is that you don't know what particular new toxic side effect you might see if you rev up an immune system against a component that they're already infected with.
So scientifically, there are pros and cons to each. Doing trials of AZT in individuals who are not far advanced in their illness. Perhaps even more important is that we now have a commitment to have drug to do a study in individuals who are completely asymptomatic. In other words, someone who's antibody positive has the virus, but is completely well with regard to symptoms. And the reason why it's important to do studies in those individuals is because we know that in this country, there are at least a million and maybe a million and a half individuals who are in that category.
The FDA came out with the announcement that they're really gonna be able to push drugs along much more quickly. What they've been doing with AIDS drugs is we is moving them along remarkably quickly despite the criticisms about that they really move
Speaker 9: Are you satisfied with the speed that these things are being done?
Speaker 1: Personally, since I'm involved in it, I'm never satisfied with the speed. I always want it to be done quicker, and I'm constantly pushing people to the point of of pushing them too much, maybe.
Speaker 21: An agreement has been reached between the Department of Health and Human Services and the Institute Pasteur, which resolves the differences between the two over the patent rights for the AIDS antibody test kit. The 2 medical groups will share the patent. We're also tearing down the regulatory barriers so as to move AIDS from the pharmaceutical laboratory to the marketplace as quickly as possible. As individuals, we have a moral obligation not to endanger others. If a person has reason to believe that he or she may be a carrier, that person has a moral duty to be tested for AIDS.
Human decency requires
Speaker 1: it. Because it very likely came from an ancestral virus present in the monkey, probably the African green monkey from Central Africa. What the mutational events that occurred, how long that took to occur, we're not sure. But from a molecular standpoint, it looks very much like it comes from an ancestral monkey virus. Nothing has changed about AIDS.
It still is not transmitted by casual contact. So the general person in the street need not worry about getting AIDS by the kinds of casual interactions that one has with individuals, be it in the workplace, in the street, or what have you. The advice, the scientific advice, the public health advice should come from the scientists, and then the power of the political process could make that move and make things happen. The advances over the last 10 years in molecular biology have allowed scientists here at the here at the NIH to be able to, as we call it, map the genome of the AIDS virus, being able to point out and isolate each of the genes of the virus. This is of great importance because by recombinant DNA technology, the leading different genes, we're able to pinpoint the
Speaker 13: function of
Speaker 1: the deleting different genes were able to pinpoint the function of the genes. Once the function of the genes is known, you can then make manipulations to interfere with the function of the virus. An understanding of the outer coating of the virus, which is coded for by this envelope gene, allows us to understand the heterogeneity, which makes one virus a little bit different from another virus. Even though essentially they're the same, the differences have major implications in vaccine development.
Speaker 22: Scientists today announced the 1st approved trial of an experimental AIDS vaccine on humans.
Speaker 1: The vaccine is a protein component, the envelope or outer coating of the virus, and it's very important to emphasize that we are not injecting the virus itself into these volunteers.
Speaker 22: A question many people
Speaker 1: will have.
Speaker 4: There is
Speaker 1: no chance that they can get AIDS from the vaccine because the virus itself is not being injected. The outer coating or the protein envelope of the virus is being injected.
Speaker 22: Is there any risk to these volunteers?
Speaker 1: The risk would probably be the kind of risk that you would have from any injection of foreign protein, and then there's always the way out chance, which you'll have to inform the volunteers of of developing a peculiar hypersensitivity reaction to the protein. There's universal agreement among public health service officials that testing someone and then if they're positive, isolating them, quarantining them is totally, 1, not logistically possible, and 2, incompatible with the public health service component of what you're trying to do. If someone knows that there is a possible negative component to being tested or to have their sexual partner tested, we will then drive underground the very people that you're trying to bring out and test and counsel. That's a big problem. And if you vaccinate someone who's not infected and you have an effective vaccine, when they get exposed, they won't be infected.
Speaker 5: Anthony Fauci is in a race in which millions of lives worldwide hang in the balance. He is in charge of the nation's research effort against AIDS. As he runs this scientific marathon, there are many spectators, and not all of them are happy at the pace he is keeping. Doctors and scientists there and indeed around the world are with Fauci on an elusive trail. They are on the trail of a killer.
Finding a way to stop AIDS has become the top medical priority in a global race against time and disease. Fauci is the director of the National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases and is the commanding officer in the nation's scientific war against AIDS. He and his team choose the strategy and the weapons to be used against the virus.
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any question that the most promising treatment right now is the only drug that has been shown to be effective in appropriately controlled trial, and that is AZT or azithazothymidine.
Speaker 5: Last October, the NIH awarded part of
Speaker 13: an
Speaker 5: $18,000,000 research grant to study the effects of AZT in children. Cynthia's physician, doctor James Oleski, hopes she can participate in the trials.
Speaker 13: We really feel strongly about the AZT. It's the first time we're doing something positive about the disease, not just supporting the kids. So if you can see your way clear, I would recommend that call
Speaker 1: it Okay.
Speaker 13: The kids.
Speaker 5: This is the first national test of AZT on children. Doctor Oleski thinks it should have happened sooner.
Speaker 13: And children deserve access to investigational drugs like adults do.
Speaker 5: He is one of 59 healthy homosexual men who have been injected at the NIAID with an experimental vaccine in what was the first human test of an AIDS vaccine. Like the volunteer seen in these pictures prior to inoculation, Lynn had the study protocol explained to him along with the potential risks. The date was September 21, 1987. Lynn would be the second man injected with the vaccine. The vaccine was developed by scientists at the company and at the NIAID.
It uses a virus found in insects called a vacuovirus. This can then be used to genetically engineer and manufacture a substance called GP 160. But are the AIDS vaccine tests being conducted here moving too fast? Some scientists contend that the vaccine first should have been tested in animals before it
Speaker 1: was put into humans. It's one of those things that you're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't. But it's very difficult to show protection in an animal model because there is no animal model that, strictly speaking, is the perfect animal model.
Speaker 5: So in this phase one, low dosage test and likely in are the human animal models. Possible side effects include testing positive for HIV infection and a more virulent response should he ever develop AIDS.
Speaker 23: Setting the pace, I think of doctor Fauci. Probably never heard of. He's a very fine research top doctor at National Institute of Health, working hard doing something about research on this disease of AIDS.
Speaker 1: He's creating a tremendous amount of anxiety in the people who are infected because they think that there's some conspiracy among scientists against them. That AZT are effective in preventing the onset of recognizable disease, then you have enormous implications. Now that's something that hasn't been proven yet, but I'm confident as a scientist involved in this area that that day will be coming soon because there is one particular gene of HIV called the envelope gene, which has the capability of being extremely heterogeneous. It can differ from one isolate to another. It can differ from an isolate in San Francisco versus an isolate in New York.
And we know that when you develop a vaccine, you have to have common determinants so that you elicit an immune response so that if a person gets exposed to HIV, whatever strain or isolate that that person gets exposed to, that that person will have an appropriate and adequate immune response to protect him or her against HIV. Unprecedented virus leading to an unprecedented disease. For people who have disease, AZT is readily available, in a in a pharmacy. You can buy it. The trial known as ACTG protocol 019 compares 2 doses of zidobudine or AZT with placebo in 2 groups of HIV infected volunteers who have no symptoms, recommended that the placebo arm of the study be halted for participants with fewer than 500 T4 cells and that all participants whose T4 counts are less than 500 should be offered AZT.
Because the data from this study have shown that the short term risk of developing AIDS is negligible in asymptomatic persons with more than 500 t 4 cells, the study will continue for that latter group. The whole concept of AZT resistance, the knowledge of that is really incomplete at the present time. There were 38 progressions in the placebo group and only 17 in the low dose group and only 19 in the high dose group. It's an estimate, and it's an estimate based on an estimate, but that's the best we can do.
Speaker 0: After AZT was approved by the FDA based on manipulated data, ACTG protocol 019 took the scientific fraud to the next level, manipulating data to prove that AZT could prevent onset of AIDS after failing to prove AZT could provide any treatment to AIDS patients. Protocol 019 skewed the data by only showing short term results.
Speaker 13: 2 year
Speaker 0: and 3 year analysis from doctors not funded by Fauci showed AZT did not slow replication of HIV or prevent progression of disease. Shielding the public from the knowledge that his chosen therapeutic was doomed to fail, Fauci protected pharmaceutical manufacturers and harmed the public he was supposed to serve.
Speaker 2: In 1987, the first glimmer of hope. Now everybody was on a high because we now had a drug. It was short lived because what we kind of realized but didn't admit, when you have a highly replicated RNA virus, it will mutate and it will develop resistance and that's exactly what happened. But that didn't stop the research community.
Speaker 1: The whole concept of AZT resistance, the knowledge of that is really incomplete at the present time. There's not a ban on fetal tissue research at all sponsored by federal funding. There is a moratorium on fetal research from induced abortions for the purposes of transplantation. Is that having impact on AIDS research? Right now, no.
We can do in vitro test tube fetal tissue research. Many of us use fetal tissues for cell lines. In fact, a number of laboratories, at the NIH and in NIH funded institutions. Initial studies with AZT alone indicate that when someone is without symptoms and have modest diminution of their immune function, you could prolong the disease free state by a finite period of time, a year, a year and a half, or or what have you. What we wanna do is really prolong that.
So by the middle or end of the nineties, we'll be able to say that we have AIDS from a therapeutic standpoint that's really a manageable chronic disease. This is the goal. Studies of HIV gene function have resulted in an explosion of knowledge over the past few years. Yet only after further in-depth understanding of the regulation of HIV gene function can the concept of actually manipulating viral
Speaker 24: g g p 30 is being tested for safety on healthy volunteers at San Francisco General Hospital. Volunteers may be at some small risk for toxic side effects from hgp 30, but it won't give them AIDS. But scientists caution that chimps and humans react differently to AIDS. For one thing, chimpanzees don't get sick from AIDS even if they have the virus.
Speaker 1: That in the animal models, using either whole kill vaccines I mean, whole kill viruses, recombinant products that if you challenge the monkey and the SIV or the chimp with the HIV, that you can actually induce protection. We now know it's feasible. Now we've gotta apply that to the human system. You imagine what it would have been like if we did not have the capability of understanding how a virus such as a human retrovirus works if this virus happened to come along in the 19 fifties. We know now that drugs like AZT and DDI and DDC and others, it is only for a temporary period of time.
We know the results now with AZT, but also they're relatively toxic. And what is the answer to a drug that is toxic because it's relatively nonspecific and lasts for a brief period of time measured in just a couple of years because there's the emergence of resistance, targeted drug development based on recombinant DNA technology. And as you well know, the vaccines that are in clinical trial right now are a direct reflection of biotechnological advances, namely the recombinant proteins of GP 160, GP 120. The vast amount of protection of the blood supply is due to voluntary screening out of individuals. At this point in time, there's no reason to
Speaker 2: believe there's any danger of the blood supply.
Speaker 1: As scientists and as physicians, we are essentially against mandatory testing. I mean, if one would talk about mandatory testing in society, the easiest way to drive people away is to make something mandatory with the hidden agenda of there being something punitive about it. If you wanna bring people in to counsel them, then it shouldn't be mandatory. It's it's a terrible idea from a public health standpoint or any standpoint to isolate people who are HIV infected and think that you can protect the general public by putting people into forced isolation. The answer is not to sequester and quarantine people.
That is a very bad public health idea, not to mention ethical and moral and a few other things. When you're asking a drug, any drug, AZT, DDI, DDC, and now even the protease inhibitors, to do that for an extended period of time when you keep the virus suppressed, that's where it fails.
Speaker 6: You haven't got anything really to give these people now. I mean, in that that you could be confident
Speaker 1: You there's
Speaker 6: certainly beyond a certain few months or whatever it is.
Speaker 2: That is correct.
Speaker 25: Approving a second generation of drugs called protease inhibitors with commercial names like Invaraise and novir. These drugs attack a different part of the virus, significantly slowing a protein called protease that the virus needs in order to replicate. Last year, the NewsHour reported on a study of prostitutes in Pamwani, crowded slum just outside Kenya's capital, Nairobi. Wanjiro has remained HIV negative despite repeated exposure for years to the virus.
Speaker 26: Thinking more and more that these women represent an instance of natural immunity into HIV.
Speaker 1: Standard triple combination, it's anywhere between $15,200,000. If you consider the protease inhibitors plus 2 of the standard first generation drugs. And then you add on to that the other drugs that some patients who have very suppressed immune systems need to be on to prevent the occurrence of the complicating infection. If you put that all together, it becomes a very expensive proposition, usually above 20,000 a year.
Speaker 3: It is really a molecular biological scenario where it uses its own genetic material. It then integrates itself into the chromosome of the cell. That is very unusual. There are not many viruses that do that. And as a matter of fact, retroviruses do it so well that retroviruses in a more attenuated form are the major vehicles for gene therapy.
So it really is gene therapy. Unfortunately, it's destruction and not therapy. Each time the virus replicates, it has the potential and the reality for a mutation. Cause reverse transcriptase is a very promiscuous enzyme and doesn't have a good proofreading mechanism. So it makes a lot of mistakes.
Many of the mistakes makes the virus resistant to things like some
Speaker 13: of the
Speaker 3: antiviral agents that we have.
Speaker 27: Yet while Elizabeth was able to take AZT to fight the disease, Ariel was not. As one doctor told Elizabeth, we don't even know what dose to give her. We can't just experiment. This is a toxic drug. It could kill her.
The plan the president is announcing today will see to it that no child or parent will have to endure this kind of agonizing uncertainty. It will guarantee that children get the same access to newly developed drugs as their parents.
Speaker 26: Less than half the drugs used to help the estimated 12,000 children with HIV infection in our country have been tested for use in children. All of whom have introduced legislation that would provide additional incentives for drug manufacturers to perform the needed dosage studies in children.
Speaker 28: It's a double vaccine, consists of an animal virus called canary pox, which is harmless to humans that has been changed so that it contains HIV genes. It also contains a protein called GP 120 that stimulates the immune system.
Speaker 1: You can talk about the development of new drugs by using the power of DNA recombinant DNA technology. You could talk about the development of vaccine. We know from studies done a few years ago that you can substantially block, not completely, but substantially the transmission from an infected mother to the infant by treating the mother for a considerable period of time during the pregnancy and then treating the infant immediately after the pregnancy for a few weeks. Although that works, that's really not feasible for developing countries that can't afford that amount of antiviral drug.
Speaker 0: During the nineties, Fauci, the NIH, and the FDA worked in concert to make children accessible for AIDS drug experiments. Children were given expanded access to such experiments during the Clinton administration. A 1994 experiment claimed children taking AZT reduced mother to child transmission of HIV. The placebo group were given AIDS drugs immediately to prevent a proper scientific comparison. 1 year later, the experiment was found to be false because AZT was ineffective in children.
The experiments showing AZT prolongs short term survival, AZT delays onset of AIDS, and AZT preventing mother to child transmission were all subsequently found to be fraudulently manipulated. Yet these experiments were the scientific foundation for approving AIDS drugs in pregnant women and children. Building upon the fraudulent AZT research, in 1999, an AIDS drug, nevirapine, was tested in pregnant women and children in Uganda. Nevirapine, like AZT, had a reputation as a toxic drug. The data was manipulated on every level.
There was no control group in this study. Records were missing. Deaths were not reported and a systematic ignoring of adverse events. Some deaths were not attributed to the AIDS drugs, but were blamed on the economic conditions of Uganda. Even after data manipulation, 30% of infants experienced serious adverse events after 18 months of ADT or nevirapine.
38 babies died during these experiments, 16 on nevirapine, and 22 on AZT. NIH founded AIDS drugs experiments on foster children from 1985 to 2,005 were exposed as violating federal regulations on human research. Less than 1 third of foster children had monitors for these experiments. Children were put in foster care because parents refused to give their children AIDS drugs. As harmful as these unethical experiments on children were, the larger scale harm came from the fraudulent data used to progress AIDS drug research.
Nevirapine was central to Fauci's $15,000,000,000 PEPFAR program to provide AIDS drugs in Africa. An NIH regulator filed complaints on the nevirapine experiments to Fauci personally. What was Fauci's response? You're fired. Further shielding Fauci from accountability for overseeing unethical experiments, His wife, Christine Grady, was appointed the head of bioethics at the NIH in 1996.
Christine Grady did not view any of these experiments as unethical.
Speaker 2: Some of my colleagues got up and essentially said, we don't really want you here. And I had to make a decision of essentially doing things which is very painful of getting rid of some of my the people that worked for me. You know, I I I used to joke around and say I took the old model from The Godfather. It's nothing personal. It's strictly business.
Speaker 0: If it pleases the court of public opinion, we shall establish Fauci's 21st century position on certain subjects before the coronavirus pandemic. Exhibit a, masks.
Speaker 1: There's no need to panic nor any need to do anything different. People ask, should I be wearing a mask? No. Not at all. But at this point in time, we do not need masks in the United States in the normal intercourse that we have in society, walking around, going to work, going to school, we do not need masks.
So for someone to try and sell someone a mask and say you really do need a mask, that is not in accordance with the public health recommendation. To go to Japan, you would not be wearing a mask because for a number of reasons, we don't have a situation here in the United States which would warrant a mask, as I've mentioned, to several callers.
Speaker 29: There's a photo here of, I guess, an airline attendant for a Thai airlines in
Speaker 13: Right.
Speaker 29: In Thailand, I guess, with 2 bottles of disinfectant and a mask. Does does this prove have any effect?
Speaker 2: Again, there's a there's a wide variability in, the compulsiveness of people.
Speaker 1: Like, if I saw somebody walking down the street in front of the Capitol here with a mask and and a and a and a and a disinfectant sprayer, I would think that they were a little bit on the fringe.
Speaker 30: People who feel for their personal protection, they have to wear these masks. One has to change those barriers several times for them to be effective both in the transmission and the reception of any communicable disease.
Speaker 1: Gloves and and masks, and you're absolutely correct. If not used correctly, it really doesn't make sense to use them at all, particularly in understanding the right seal, etcetera.
Speaker 31: If somebody's sitting next to me and they're coughing, should I say, look. I'm sorry, but I'm susceptible to your thing and just move away. Do you ever have this problem?
Speaker 2: I I do. What do you put
Speaker 31: a mask on? You put, like, a gauze thing on? Or
Speaker 2: No. I don't. But
Speaker 31: wearing a mask. No. No. No. No.
Do that. Somebody's I can see they're ready to sneeze or cough, walk away.
Speaker 2: You avoid all the paranoid aspects and do something positive. Exhibit b, mandate.
Speaker 32: Yeah. And they're also afraid that there's going to be forced inoculation at some point. There could be some emergency declared, and the government has plans for forcing people to take
Speaker 1: There will not be any mandated or compulsory vaccinations vis a vis influenza. That's that's for sure. So take that off the table.
Speaker 2: Whenever you make a decision about any intervention that you're gonna allow yourself to undergo, be it a drug or a vaccine, you've gotta balance the risk of what you're gonna do with the benefit that you're gonna get from it. You recommend it, but you explain the risk benefit as opposed to making it official policy. Since smallpox has some rare, but nonetheless, potentially very serious toxic side effects. If you're one of those people who have the this strange myocarditis associated with it, that we would not globally vaccinate the entire country. And by the way, the country would not have accepted being vaccinated.
We knew that. I mean, it was sort of like a fail safe. And I said, mister vice president, by the way, even when you're offering it to the first responders, many of them didn't wanna take it. So this idea about kind of saying everybody should take it, it didn't make any sense. Historically, pandemics do occur, and responding to the pandemic after the fact is generally not effective.
Speaker 0: Exhibit c, communicating to the public as a public health official.
Speaker 2: Is to be very transparent as as a public health officials and to not be afraid of saying you don't know the answer. And you don't know the answer, and you think it's better to guess than to say you don't know. That's a huge mistake, and people have done that. The right thing is to disappoint them. You know?
I don't know the answer to this. Otherwise, your credibility is gone pretty quickly. I don't really remember anything that I really screwed up badly to the point where it was like, oh my god. What did I do? In the beginning of an outbreak, hardly anybody knows anything no matter how smart they are.
Speaker 0: Exhibit d, relationship with the pharmaceutical industry as a government fundraiser.
Speaker 33: With doctor Fauci here, actually, the study from the NIH from his division, the headline study finds pill greatly lowers risk of AIDS, drug already sold. How significant a finding, and what is the finding?
Speaker 2: Well, as I said and quoted in that article, it is a huge finding. It is really very significant. Well, the private sector is doing very, very well. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the Clinton Foundation has done a $45,000,000,000 on HIV research. One of them is to regulatory flexibility.
And I have to say, I really wanna tip my hat to the FDA because over the last several years, they have worked with us right from the very beginning. Right now, whenever we do anything, we get them involved right from the very beginning to make sure we're right on the right track. I was gonna take this sleepy field of infectious diseases, which was like the 6th or 7th largest institute at NIH with a budget that was like $300,000,000 at the time. And I was gonna make it something bigger because and particularly, I was going to use it as the bully pulpit to get attention to HIV AIDS. I started off with a budget of about $300,000,000 My budget is now close to $5,000,000,000 So if if I were a Wall Street mogul, I would get some kind of a golden parachute or something there, but not.
But, you know, the the relationship with George h w Bush was really an interesting relationship because he wanted very much for me to be the director of n NIH. I didn't wanna do that because I didn't wanna get out of the AIDS business. We used to only vaccinate institute directors that probably sooner or later, every disease is gonna turn out to be related to an infectious disease. Just kidding. I just want more money.
Speaker 0: Exhibit e, the HIV AIDS hypothesis.
Speaker 2: Versions of what we call the quasi species or the the different components that it isn't one virus that's uniform. It's what we call the quasi species, which means there are multiple subtle changes. It exists almost like in a swarm of viruses as opposed to one identical virus that you have millions of copies of. There are millions of copies of different types of modifications of the virus.
Speaker 0: Natural immunity.
Speaker 13: But she's had
Speaker 9: the flu for 14 days. Should she get a flu shot?
Speaker 1: Well, no. If she got the flu for 14 days, she's as protected as anybody can be because the best vaccination is to get infected yourself. If she really has the flu, if she really has the flu, she definitely doesn't need a flu vaccine. If she really has the flu.
Speaker 9: She should not get it again?
Speaker 1: No. She doesn't need it because the it's the best it's the most potent vaccination is getting infected yourself.
Speaker 0: Which disease is more dangerous, influenza or coronavirus?
Speaker 2: Just the word flu. Often people say, well, I'm sick today or I'm out
Speaker 3: to work. I have the flu.
Speaker 2: Well, you probably didn't have
Speaker 3: the flu. You probably had a rhinovirus or an adenovirus or a coronavirus. When you have the flu, you know you have the flu.
Speaker 0: Exhibit f, prediction of the pandemic.
Speaker 2: Is that there is no question that there will be a challenge to the coming administration in the arena of infectious diseases, but also there will be a surprise outbreak. What about things that we're not even thinking about? It is not gonna go away. So the thing we're extraordinarily confident about is that we are gonna see this in the next few years. Thank you.
There's this whole new strategy called pandemic preparedness that we didn't have years ago. It was always wait around for something to happen and then respond as quickly as you can. Now a lot of stuff is preempted, particularly in developing easily adaptable vaccine platform.
Speaker 4: Exhibit g, gain of function research. Gain of function is research that improves the ability of a virus to cause disease. Gain of function research is gene editing of a virus to produce a desired function. The virus will gain a function such as an animal virus jumping species into humans. Gain of function research on SARS coronavirus has been funded by the NIH since 20 14.
Gain of function scientists working with RNA viruses that mutate and can adapt to hosts are a biosafety risk. In October 2012, Fauci proposed a doomsday scenario where a gain of function scientist became infected with the virus they were manipulating, causing an outbreak and triggering a pandemic. Despite these risks, Fauci was clear about his view of funding gain of function experiments months later.
Speaker 2: A considerable amount of the activity that goes on in this area from a research standpoint comes from the NIH and NIAID. As you know, we're part of the Department of Health and Human Services as is the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention
Speaker 1: who also have a a considerable amount of contributions
Speaker 2: both from a public health surveillance as well
Speaker 1: as from a research standpoint in the topic for today, which is gain of function research on polypathogenic avian influenza h 5 n 1
Speaker 2: was intensive study of host adaptation, transmissibility of influenza viruses, pathogenesis, and virulence. And integral to that study has always been the issue of gain of function research, not only for influenza, but essentially for all infectious diseases research. Now there are a few ways to look at gain of function research. There's the naturally occurring mutations which naturally give gain of function. Does this mutation make something more transmissible, more pathogenic or adapt to host better or is to actually create gain of function by making mutations.
But the bottom line is that gain and loss of function research research is critical to understanding disease pathogenesis, antimicrobial resistance and host responses, as well as to developing better techniques of surveillance, vaccines and therapeutics. There were studies done by 2 NIH NIAID funded investigators, Ryan Fouche and Yoshi Kawayoka, in which h five n one, a strain from Indonesia and a strain from Vietnam, were altered in a gain of function, either by direct mutation or by reassortment. And by passage in ferrets, the mammal model for this virus for humans, a development of aerosol transmissibility in a mammal which this particular virus did not have. We at NIAID being the major funders of most but not all of these people, we obviously were connected to that because they wanted to know since you're our major funders, what kind of research will you fund? Questions have come up about the concern of the danger of people that you fund.
NIAID, NIH, certainly CDC, only funds and conducts gain of function research for researchers who are highly trained. The concern was that the products or information that were generated by these experiments might be used by others in a way that could harm society. There's disagreements as to the scientific and or public health value of these experiments. But I believe the people who feel that they shouldn't be conducted are in the minority because even the most concerned members of NSABB felt that the experiments should be done, but the distribution of the knowledge should be restricted. If you completely ban all gain of function research, then you're gonna interfere with some of the important things we need to do.
Speaker 4: Exhibit GP 120, glycoprotein 120, a glycoprotein on the HIV envelope that specifically binds to the CD 4 t helper cell to enter the host cell. The 1972 WHO bulletin requested a virus that selectively inhibits the t cell to prolong disease. GP 120 is the part of that requested virus, HIV, that selectively inhibits the t cells. If I wanted to pick out one part of HIV that would do the most damage to the immune system, I would pick out GP 120. That's exactly what Fauci did.
Speaker 11: GP 1 20, glycoprotein 120, it's the coat protein of the AIDS virus. About half the people with AIDS get AIDS related dementia, hippocampal damage, memory loss, tremendous cognitive impairment, and GP 120 appears to be the key peptide in killing the hippocampal neurons, a very complicated indirect route. And what my lab has been seeing is every bad thing that GP120 does to a neuron, glucocorticoids make worse. And that one's really disturbing, not just because people with AIDS are under stress, but people with AIDS come down with pneumocystis pneumonia. And for the severe cases, the only treatment is to give people the highest doses of glucocorticoids that are ever used in clinical medicine.
Speaker 2: Such a disagreement about whether or not the NIH, NIAID would fund large scale studies of recombinant GP 120 proteins. Both trials fail. That by injecting the outer covering of the envelope, the GP160, the GP 140, the GP 120, any of that into an individual induced an immune response, but the immune response was not protected. We started that after, like, 80 4, 85, 86. The HIV envelope is naturally unstable.
It really is a humbling experience because everybody, all the smart people in vaccinology and immunology, were saying, you gotta make an antibody that's a neutralizing antibody against a very constant region of the envelope. Well, HIV is an RNA virus. And like other RNA viruses, it is probably the king or the queen of the mutational RNA virus. RNA viruses mutate a lot. The important mutations in HIV mutations in HIV are that, one, it evades the immune system.
It's one
Speaker 13: of the 3 or
Speaker 2: four reasons why the immune system is not particularly effective. So it's not good for the natural immune response. Unlike any other vaccine, the body doesn't really like to make a protective immune response against HIV. It's one of the few viruses where the natural response to infection is not what you want.
Speaker 4: The origin of the coronavirus pandemic derives from gain of function research funded and approved by Anthony Fauci and the NIH and NIAID. Gain of function experiments that Fauci and others warned could cause a pandemic. In retrospect, the US government should have listened to James Clapper in 2016, who labeled gene editing as a weapon of mass destruction. But instead, they listened to Anthony Fauci, who said that gene editing was necessary for expedited vaccine development. Since 2014, NIH and NIAID funded gain of function experiments at the Wuhan Institute of Virology and the University of North Carolina.
Peter Daszak of EcoHealth, Ralph Barrick of UNC, and Wuhan's Shi Zheng Li have over a decade experience working together to manipulate coronaviruses to infect humans in a way that would evade therapeutics and vaccines, creating the optimal virus to cause a pandemic. Although there was a gain of function funding pause in 2014, these experiments were approved by the NIH. Despite NIH funding dozens of gain of function experiments at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, the origins of the coronavirus pandemic could be traced back to one specific gain of function experiment between the Wuhan Institute of Virology and the University of North Carolina from 2014 to 2019. Understanding the risk of bat coronavirus emergence, funded by the NIH, NIAID, and the DOD to combat weapons of mass destruction. Bats in a Yunnan cave system carried SARS coronaviruses with all the unique genetic elements of the SARS coronavirus outbreak virus.
Naturally, the scientists chose to sequence 12 novel SARS coronaviruses from this cave system, constructing a chimeric virus using a SARS backbone and a coronavirus spike protein adapted to efficiently replicate in human cells and infect humans via airway cells, enabling the cross species airborne transmission of SARS coronavirus from other mammals to humans. NIH investigators trusted the Wuhan Institute of Virology with handling the dangerous specimens for spike protein sequencing. Despite the repeated history of safety violations of the Wuhan Institute of Virology from 2018 to 2019, warning of urgent problems the institute was facing in July of 2019, 1 month after the NIH experiment finished a renewal phase of the project. By November of 2019, officials at the Wuhan Institute of Virology warned of severe consequences that could result from safety dangers. Ralph Barrick believed the SARS coronaviruses he was manipulating would not infect human cells.
This belief prevented gain of function classification on these experiments. Barrick, Daszak, and She were dead wrong. These experiments should have been classified as gain of function research. When the defendant, mister Fauci, had the chance to review this research, he deemed it not risky enough to fall under the moratorium. This research has been disputed as the origins of the pandemic because it would implicate the virus as being man made by NIH funded scientists.
The fact check of this paper supports the natural origin of COVID 19 despite the fact that this study reports Chinese people post SARS avoided bats at a level that would prevent a naturally occurring pandemic. This may be disputed as the origin of the pandemic, but there is no disputing that this research from 2014 to 2019 laid the foundation for for manipulating SARS coronaviruses to infect humans while evading therapeutics and vaccines, which would create the optimal environment for causing a pandemic. In the attempt to combat weapons of mass destruction, the NIH funded gain of function research that created a viral weapon of mass destruction. Bioweapon research, funded by Anthony Fauci, is the origin of COVID 19.
Speaker 34: Coronavirus was enhanced in a lab. The National Institutes of Health acknowledged that it funded research of a virus that was studied at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
Speaker 35: For years, the National Institutes of Health provided grant money to the EcoHealth Alliance Research Group, which conducted experiments with bat coronaviruses in Wuhan, China.
Speaker 4: January 31, 2020, Indian scientists published a paper revealing COVID 19 had 4 separate inserts of HIV, 3 of which are glycoprotein 120. Gp 120 is the portion of HIV that specifically targets the t helper cell to enter the host. COVID 19 spike glycoprotein contains 3 insertions of gp 120, which do not exist in any other coronaviruses, making it impossible to claim that COVID 19 evolved naturally. HIV proteins gp 120 and gag are critical for the viruses to identify and latch on to their host cells and for viral assembly. Gp 120 enhances the affinity for cross species transmission by increasing the range of host cells that the virus can infect.
HIV's g p 120 enabled the construction of a pandemic level bat SARS coronavirus spike protein during NIH gain of function experiments. The Wuhan Institute of Virology and University of North Carolina have been pseudotyping HIV with SARS coronavirus since 2015. Pseudotyping a virus is the process of producing viruses in combination with foreign viral envelope proteins, meaning SARS coronaviruses were produced in combination with a foreign HIV envelope protein, gp 120. Spike proteins are the critical target for vaccine development of coronaviruses. GP 120 is the portion of HIV that makes producing an HIV vaccine an impossible task.
Fauci owning 4 separate patents on GP 120 understood the significance of the Indian paper. G p 120 within the spike protein would expose the unnatural origins and prevent the production of a safe and effective COVID 19 vaccine.
Speaker 3: It then integrates itself into the chromosome of the cell. That is very unusual. There are not many viruses that do that. Retroviruses do it so well.
Speaker 4: A FOIA request exposed Fauci's emails during the 1st few months of the pandemic, revealing a desperate attempt to cover up the origins of COVID 19 and the findings of the Indian GP 120 paper. 5:27 PM, January 31, 2020. A reporter's email questions the NIH about findings of the Indian paper suggesting COVID 19 as 4 inserts of HIV. 5 hours later, Anthony Fauci, Jeremy Farrar of AZT manufacturer Burrows Welcome, and Christian Andersen discussed COVID nineteen's genome. Christian Andersen asked Fauci about the unusual features of the virus because the GP 120 would make COVID 19 engineered.
Christian also noted the inconsistencies of the evolutionary theory of the origins of COVID 19.
Speaker 2: There was a phone call in late January of 2020 from Jeremy Farrar, Christian Anderson, who piped me in on a three way call saying that they looked at the virus and there was some concern about the molecular configuration or makeup of the virus that made them think there was a possibility that there could have been a manipulation of the virus.
Speaker 4: That night, as January turned to February, Fauci emailed the number 2 at NIAID demanding Hugh read a Barrack and Xi gain a function paper. Fauci most likely sent the 2015 Barrack Xi Nature article because the paper reveals the unnatural origins of COVID 19 and the use of HIV at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Hours after that meeting, Fauci sends an email with an attachment titled coronavirus sequence comparison. On the Sunday morning of February 2nd, after Fauci's numerous meetings with the most powerful people in science, the g p 120 paper was magically retracted. The Indian g p 120 paper was retracted not because of the facts, but because the information of HIV being in COVID 19 would lead to conspiracy theories.
A conspiracy means 2 or more people planning to commit a crime. Therefore, the Indian paper was retracted because the paper caused people to realize that 2 or more scientists planned to commit crimes against humanity. February 4th, 2 AM, an anonymous scientist emails doctor Fauci warning of the implications of the GP 120 inserts inside COVID 19. Hours later, Christian Andersen and gain of function scientists Peter Daszak and Ralph Barrick discussed constructing a letter with the purpose of disputing conspiracy theories of engineering COVID 19, stating that the virus evolved naturally. Because if the virus was engineered nefariously, the scientists would have used a SARS backbone and reverse genetic systems.
Ironically, the Wuhan gain of function experiments did use a SARS backbone and reverse genetics, and the experiments claim the virus could not have evolved naturally due to a lack of Chinese interaction with bats. Later that day, Fauci forwards an article stating the retraction of the Indian GP 120 paper was a good moment for science, as per our recent conversation, suggesting Fauci's involvement in the retraction. February 13th, Fauci informed the CDC director that 15 scientists will be determining the evolutionary origin of COVID 19, ignoring the lab leak theory. March 2020, the proximal origins of COVID 19 paper was released with the goal of ending the debate on the origins of COVID 19. April 18th, Peter Daszak emails Fauci thanking him for publicly supporting the natural origin theory of COVID 19.
Daszak thanks Fauci as the personal investigator of r o one, the gain of function studies in Wuhan from 2014 to 2019, further implicating that those studies were in fact the origin of COVID 19.
Speaker 36: Biological Warfare Center in Wuhan and that the coronavirus escaped from that.
Speaker 2: I've heard these conspiracy theories, and like all conspiracy theories, Newt, they're just conspiracy theories.
Speaker 4: Luc Montagnier is the French discoverer of the HIV virus. His words have been translated into English. We've come to the conclusion that there was a manipulation of this virus. There's a model that is evidently the classic virus, and that was a model that came from the bat. But to this model were added some sequences, some from HIV, the AIDS virus.
It's not natural. It's the work of professionals. It's work of molecular biologists. Very meticulous work. Someone tried to make an HIV vaccine, so they took some small sequences of the virus and put them inside the bigger sequence of the coronavirus.
That means there is a part of HIV inside the virus? Exactly. The genetic code of the virus is like a long ribbon of RNA, just like DNA, but it's RNA. And some small sequences of HIV were attached to this ribbon. These sequences are small, but they still mean something.
They have the ability to modify antigenic sites. If you wanted to create a vaccine, you could modify the protein that is exposed for the vaccine by a small sequence that came from another virus. But are you sure of it? Because it was thought to be of human origin at first, but in the end, it was debunked by most of the scientific community. There is certainly an attempt to suppress the truth.
We are not the first ones. A group of researchers from India, highly reputable, published the same findings, but they were forced to withdraw them. These traces of HIV cannot be the result of a natural crossover between animal and human species? No. It can only be man made?
Exactly. Luc Montagnier, April 17, 2020. On February 4, 2020, the secretary of HHS declared a public health emergency, allowing liability immunity for any activities related to medical countermeasures against COVID 19 or any mutating virus they're from. The public health emergency invoked section 564, providing the FDA the authority to designate unapproved medical products as emergency use authorized to fight COVID 19. Emergency use authorizations have stipulations.
The disease, COVID 19, must be proven to cause serious or life threatening disease. The products to treat COVID 19 must be effective in treating or preventing COVID 19, or these products can treat conditions caused by unapproved products that were emergency use authorized. The potential benefits of COVID 19 treatments must outweigh the risk of the disease itself. Most importantly, emergency use authorizations cannot be designated if there are adequate, approved, and available alternatives to treat COVID 19. In addition to the public health emergency and the EUA, President Trump declared a national emergency on March 13th, granting $42,000,000,000 for the nationwide response to a virus that had an estimated 98 to 99% survival rate.
On March 16th, the Trump administration announced 15 days to slow the spread, a 45 day nationwide shutdown that led to 3,000,000 Americans losing their jobs.
Speaker 2: When the guidance and the guidelines and the suggestions were put out officially from the government, it was said as a 15 day period. That does not mean it's only gonna be 15 days. It means at the end of 15 days, we'll reevaluate and see if what we've done have had any noticeable impact, and is it worth going on? I would project personally, though it's always dangerous to make these kinds of projections, that we will go longer than 2 weeks.
Speaker 1: What was the most crucial decision you
Speaker 4: had to make during the pandemic, and
Speaker 1: what was the critical thought process that took you through it?
Speaker 2: I recommended to the president that we shut the country down, and that was very difficult decision because I knew it would have serious economic consequences, which it did.
Speaker 4: On March 24, 2020, the FDA issued the first of 87 EUAs for mechanical ventilators. Mechanical ventilators became the emergency standard of care for for COVID 19. March 30, 2020, a Seattle study showed 9 of the 11 COVID 19 deaths were after mechanical ventilation, less than a week after the EUA. Evidence showed mechanical ventilators were a riskier treatment for COVID 19 than the disease itself. Further exacerbating COVID 19 death and case totals, hospitals were reimbursed for treating COVID 19 patients, cultivating an environment within hospitals of developing a lucrative distinction between dying of COVID and dying with COVID.
If COVID 19 was suspected, it was acceptable to report COVID 19 on a death certificate as probable or presumed. Death certificates began to report COVID 19 even when tests were negative or even when no test was given.
Speaker 16: We've seen this in other disease processes too early in the HIV epidemic. Somebody may have a heart attack but also have HIV. The hospital would prefer the DRG for HIV HIV because there's greater reimbursement. So I do think there's some reality to that. When it comes to death reporting, though, I mean, ultimately, it's how the physician defines it in the death certificate.
When it comes to hospital reimbursement issues for individuals that get discharged, there could be some play in that for sure.
Speaker 2: Very painful early years of HIV AIDS when people talk about conspiracy theories. You will always have conspiracy theories when you have very challenging public health crisis. They are nothing but distractions. I would just hope we just put those conspiracy stuff and let somebody write a book about it
Speaker 18: later on, but not now.
Speaker 4: Thanks to the CARES Act, hospitals were reimbursed $13,000 for treating someone with COVID and $40,000 for 4 days of ventilator support before a 20% bonus. Hospitals in less populous states received $300,000 per COVID case, while the most populous states received $12,000 per case. These policies were designed to create a self fulfilling prophecy, justifying the public health emergency by incentivizing hospitals to inflate COVID 19 case and death totals. The ventilator EUA justifiably should have been revoked. Instead, up to 25% of COVID 19 inpatients had been treated with ventilators or intubation during the 1st few months of 2020.
While publicly promoting ventilators, Fauci privately emailed in May of 2020 that mechanical ventilation harmed recovery in COVID patients.
Speaker 2: We very, very readily would put people on mechanical ventilation. When we found out through clinical experience, it might have been better just to make sure we position them properly in the prone or supine position and not necessarily intubate somebody so readily, which might have actually caused more harm than good. We learned that as we got more experience.
Speaker 4: On April 16th, pharmaceutical company Gilead submitted an unapproved product, remdesivir, for emergency use authorization to treat COVID 19 patients. A curious choice considering in 2019, remdesivir killed 50% of the patients in Ebola trials. The remdesivir trials were sponsored by Gilead, the NIH and NIAID, and the US Army. The data submitted was meager at best, with studies showing more deaths in the remdesivir group due to toxicity in the kidneys. Remdesivir was developed through partnership of Gilead, NIAID, and UNC Chapel Hill in the Ralph Barrick lab.
Ralph Barrick's gain of function research involved developing therapeutics for viruses he manipulated, including therapeutics for SARS coronavirus. Ralph Barrick described remdesivir as a game changer for treating COVID 19. It was none other than Fauci himself who revealed the results of the remdesivir trials to the public.
Speaker 2: A trial that the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, which is the institute I direct sponsored, called the Adaptive CoVirus Disease Treatment Trial, ACCT 1, was started in February 21st, randomized placebo controlled trial, comparing the Gilead drug remdesivir with a placebo. The data and safety monitoring board on Monday afternoon contacted me on April 27th, first on Friday, the week before, and then again on April 27th, and notified the study team that remdesivir has a clear cut significant positive effect, diminishing the time to recover. 31% improvement, less deaths in the remdesivir group. 8% versus 11% in the placebo group. It has not yet reached statistical significance, but the data needs to be further analyzed.
Whenever you have clear cut evidence that a drug works, you have an ethical obligation to immediately let the people who are in the placebo group know so that they could have access. And all of the other trials that are taking place now have have a new standard of care. So we would have normally waited several days until the data gets further dot the I and cross the t, but the data are not gonna change. Some of the numbers may change a little, but the but the conclusion will not change. When I was looking at this data with our team the other night, it was reminiscent of 34 years ago in 1986 when we were struggling for drugs for HIV, and we had nothing.
And we did the first randomized placebo controlled trial with AZT. This will be the standard of care.
Speaker 37: Fauci has compared this to when they first found HIV drugs. He's saying this will be the standard of care. Drug could get FDA emergency use authorization immediately based on these results.
Speaker 38: Doctor Anthony Fauci, the face of America's response to the coronavirus, the FDA is expected to grant emergency usage for this so that it could be put into practice right away. What do you know about that? How soon do you expect that?
Speaker 2: It's gonna be really quickly. I was speaking with the, commissioner of the FDA yesterday evening, last night, but I would project that we're gonna be seeing that reasonably soon.
Speaker 4: Fauci ordained remdesivir the standard of care before the FDA on April 29th. April 30th, Fauci states the FDA will approve remdesivir. Luckily for Fauci, he has regular phone calls with the head of the FDA so he can predict the FDA's future. The very next day, May 1st, the FDA authorizes remdesivir. Fauci declaring remdesivir the standard of care for COVID 19 was reminiscent of Fauci decreeing AZT the standard of care for AIDS.
By making a drug that is more harmful than the disease the standard of care, Fauci altered the public's perception of the harm of COVID 19. In one statement saying remdesivir's data had not yet reached statistical significance, yet the next statement, Fauci was bragging about remdesivir's clear cut evidence, further manipulating the data by placing the placebo group onto remdesivir, repeating Fauci's pattern since AZT. Fauci stating that remdesivir's data will not change and the conclusion will not change is not the scientific method. But there was a method to Fauci's madness. By making remdesivir the standard of care and mechanical ventilation the standard of emergency care, the medical community was mandating medical malpractice, leading to more deaths than the disease would have caused, which should have invalidated the emergency use authorization.
Remdesivir treatment costs 3,000 per patient. Making remdesivir the standard of care echoes Fauci's decision making with AZT, prioritizing the most expensive toxic treatment available while stigmatizing affordable generic drugs with much less toxicity.
Speaker 2: Or hydroxychloroquine, which is the drug that's been approved for decades, Very cheap.
Speaker 13: Yes.
Speaker 4: Hydroxychloroquine was also authorized by the FDA on March 28th. Hydroxychloroquine is part of a class of drugs called zinc ionophores. Zinc ionophores taken with zinc were known to inhibit SARS coronavirus infection since 2010. Zinc ionophores, such as hydroxychloroquine, quercetin, EGCG, are drugs that when taken with zinc, reduce coronavirus binding and replication. Ivermectin is also a drug that when taken with zinc, achieved similar results to zinc ionophores treating COVID 19.
Speaker 39: Initial studies didn't really use zinc with it. Had a long conversation with a doctor earlier in the week, and he said, yes. As long as zinc is there, it it really definitely does work. Without it, it's minimally effective. Would you like to comment on that?
Speaker 2: When I do see a randomized placebo controlled trial that looks at any aspect of hydroxychloroquine, either early study, middle study, or late, if that randomized placebo controlled trial shows efficacy, I would be the first one to admit it and to promote it. I don't have any horse in the game one way or the other. I just look at the data.
Speaker 4: A randomized placebo controlled trial of hydroxychloroquine emerged months later. Fauci ignored these results while promoting flawed studies that merely showed a zinc ionophore such as hydroxy Chloroquine is not going to function without zinc. Fauci's bias in examining the data led him to favor his horses in the game, Ralph Baric and Gilead, who received over $160,000,000 in funding to study remdesivir from the NIH since 2009. Fauci's analysis contributed to a perverse financial incentive for hospitals to continue to select expensive remdesivir over cheap hydroxychloroquine. If Fauci made zinc ionophores the standard of care for COVID 19 rather than remdesivir, 1,000,000 of lives and 1,000,000,000 of dollars could have been saved.
Fauci understood this intimately. More so, Fauci understood that if zinc ionophores became the standard of care, then that would have led to approved available alternative treatments for COVID 19. Zinc ionophores would have ended the public health emergency and therefore terminated the authority for emergency use authorizations. Fauci made remdesivir the standard of care not to extend the life of those who took the drug, but to extend the life of the emergency use authorizations. The medical community collectively was in a race against time to take advantage of the products.
Fauci knew without the EUA and the temporary liability immunity, the FDA could not have authorized their most infamous unapproved product, the COVID 19 vaccine.
Speaker 38: The administration has confirmed that it has a program called Operation Warp Speed. The goal to speed the timeline for a vaccine to develop 100 of millions of doses to be ready by January. Do you feel that's in the realm of possibility?
Speaker 2: Yeah. I do, Savannah. I mean, I'm obviously part of the team that's involved in that. On January 9th, the Chinese put on a public database the sequence. Soon as we got the sequence of the virus from the Chinese, we pulled it out of the public database and stuck the gene into a vaccine platform and worked on it literally within a day of when it came out.
On 10th, we had a meeting with my team that said, we're gonna take that sequence. We're gonna partner with the company Moderna, and we're gonna maybe 3 or 4 days later meet and get the vaccine starting to be made.
Speaker 4: Fauci and his team began development of the COVID 19 vaccine before they determine the origins of COVID 19.
Speaker 2: So then you publish the sequence and anybody in any lab can pull the sequence out of the gene that specifically codes for the spike protein. So you don't have to touch the virus. You go in silico in a computer, you pull out the gene and you stick it into this messenger RNA. So there are multiple platforms. So mRNA is a platform, highly adaptable, extraordinarily promising approach to vaccines where you don't ever even need to get the virus in your hand.
You can just get a gene sequence, plug it into this messenger RNA, and inject it into a person, and you get the protein expressed, then you have a vaccine.
Speaker 4: MRNA expressing the sequence of COVID 19 spike protein is not harmless, considering the insertions in the sequence of COVID 19. The COVID 19 spike protein contains sequences of GP 120, the portion of HIV that destroys your immune system while incorporating itself into the host DNA. A vaccine expressing this gp 120 inserted spike protein would therefore enhance and prolong disease instead of providing protection.
Speaker 2: Now the purpose of messenger RNA in your body is to code for all the different proteins that your body makes. So now you're gonna take an artificially made RNA. You're gonna stick this particular sequence in, and then you inject it into the body. It goes into a cell, and it starts pumping out protein. So the body sees the protein and says, I think that's the virus because it's a spike protein, but it isn't the virus.
It's a harmless protein that you made very quickly with messenger RNA. RNA is the molecular means of coding for proteins. So if I wanna vaccinate you, Mark, with a component of the COVID 19 virus, the SARS CoV 2, the important component is that spike protein. Well, that particular spike protein is the thing you want the body to make an immune response against.
Speaker 4: Viruses binding with suboptimal antibodies enhance entry into host cells and accelerated replication within the host, a phenomenon called antibody dependent enhancement. Antibodies do not bind to HIV, specifically because of GP 120. Surface proteins of HIV, like GP 120, mutate rapidly and change shape continuously. GP 120 is the portion of HIV that helps HIV evade the immune system and gain entry into host cells. People have developed natural immunity to HIV, but no scientist in human history has created vaccinated immunity for HIV.
A COVID 19 vaccination forces antibodies to make an immune response against the spike protein of COVID 19. Since the COVID 19 spike protein contains sequences of GP 120, antibodies would be suboptimal in their immune response, enhancing entry and accelerating replication of COVID 19 within vaccinated hosts, creating vaccine induced antibody dependent enhancement.
Speaker 2: To make sure that a vaccine actually doesn't enhance disease, there's another element to safety. And that is if you vaccinate someone and they make an antibody response and then they get exposed and infected, does the response that you induce actually enhance the infection and make it worse? And the only way you'll know that is if you do an extended study, not in a normal volunteer who has no risk of infection, but in people who are out there in a risk situation. This would not be the first time, if it happened, that a vaccine that looked good in initial safety actually made people worse. There was the history of the respiratory syncytial virus vaccine in children, which paradoxically made the children worse.
1 of the HIV vaccines that we tested several years ago actually made individuals more likely to get infected. So you can't just go out there and give it unless you feel that in the field, when someone is getting infected and exposed, being vaccinated doesn't make them worse. That's why you gotta do a trial. Does the vaccine make you worse? And there are diseases in which you vaccinate someone.
They get infected with what you're trying to protect them with, and you actually enhance the infection.
Speaker 1: So that the immune system doesn't run away with itself. When it does, as a matter of fact, that's how you get autoimmune disease.
Speaker 4: Out of 44,000 participants in the Pfizer COVID vaccine trials, only 170 cases of COVID were observed. 44,000 people may have participated, but only 170 participants' data matter. By dividing the 162 placebo cases by the total 170 cases, Pfizer arrived at the conclusion that the COVID vaccine had a 95% efficacy. There were 0 deaths related to COVID 19 during the trials and less than a fraction of a percent chance of catching COVID 19. Pfizer's data invalidated the concept that COVID 19 was a life threatening illness with pandemic potential.
Speaker 2: DNA is inherent in your own nuclear cell. Sticking in anything foreign will ultimately get clear. Messenger RNA is the messenger. It it comes from the DNA to the RNA to the protein. Sticking an mRNA into you has absolutely nothing to do with your own DNA or your own RNA.
It's gonna perform its function, and then it's gonna be degraded, and it's gone. It doesn't have any imprint on any genetic material of your own.
Speaker 4: G p 120 enters a host cell such as an antibody, then integrates itself into the host genome by reverse transcriptase. Meaning, even though the mRNA may be temporary, the effects of the spike protein expressed by mRNA would alter your DNA. As the great Anthony Fauci once said
Speaker 2: Whenever you make a decision about any intervention that you're gonna allow yourself to undergo, be it a drug or a vaccine, you've gotta balance the risk of what you're gonna do with the benefit that you're gonna get from it.
Speaker 4: The proposed benefits of a COVID vaccine would be potentially protecting yourself against a virus with far less than a 1% chance of infection and death. Consider the risks of mRNA expressing spike proteins containing inserts of GP 120. GP 120 would integrate with your cells and alter your DNA, harm your immune system, ultimately causing antibody dependent enhancement. The benefits do not balance. Because the risk did not match the benefits, the utmost authority in medicine had to resort to lying about the benefits to convince the public to take the COVID 19 vaccine.
Speaker 40: What do you think is the best argument to convince those people that taking the vaccine during that time frame is the right decision for their and their family's health?
Speaker 2: Well, because as long as you're susceptible, you're part of the problem, not part of the solution. When you're protected, you're another person the virus can't impact. Where as if you're vulnerable, even if you don't get a lot of symptoms, the fact that you've been infected means you are inadvertently propagating the outbreak. So if you wanna be part of the solution, get vaccinated and say, I'm not gonna be one of the people that's gonna be a stepping stone for the virus to
Speaker 13: go to somebody else. I'm gonna be a
Speaker 2: dead end to the virus. So rather than getting discouraged, which is an understandable emotion to a terrible ordeal that we've all been through, hang in there. The end is in sight. And as vaccines kick in, we're gonna start seeing a dramatic change. So my word of encouragement is that let's all hang in there together.
We are gonna get through this, guaranteed. The risk is extremely low of getting infected, of getting sick, or of transmitting it to anybody else. Full stop. We want something ultimately that prevents you from getting infected so that you don't spread it to someone else. That would be an important advance.
Speaker 1: And if you vaccinate someone who's not infected and you have an effective vaccine, when they get exposed, they won't be infected.
Speaker 4: Fauci inflated the risk of COVID 19 and inflated the benefits of the COVID 19 vaccine because if people honestly understood the data, that COVID 19 had a less than 1% risk of infection and death and that the vaccine had more risks than benefits, the public's desire to get a COVID vaccine would be permanently deflated. After spending 2 years guilting the public into thinking the vaccine would stop the virus and therefore end the economic pain of the pandemic. Fauci admitted COVID vaccines do not prevent infection or transmission.
Speaker 2: If people wanna get it, they can get it, and hopefully, everybody would wanna get it. I would like to see the overwhelming majority of the country vaccinated before we get to the end of Q2 because I would like to see children, adults, everyone so that when we get into the fall season, the children could feel really safe at going back to school. The teachers can feel safe that they're not gonna get infected. We can get back to the economy being robust. Restaurants can open to full capacity.
That's what I like to see. But you're not gonna see it, Mark, unless the overwhelming majority of people get vaccinated. So in that sense, I would like to see the reluctant people get vaccinated sooner rather than later. If they wanna wait a month or so, that's okay. That might be in accordance with the pace of being able to implement.
But I don't want them to wait 6 to 8 to 9 months. I think they should do it within that period of the first two quarters of 2021. If you really wanna be free of the threat of COVID 19, this is a global problem for the global solution, which means we must be able, as a global community,
Speaker 19: to vaccinate the entire world, to make sure that enough vaccine
Speaker 2: is entire world, to make sure that enough vaccine is manufactured to the tune of 1,000,000,000 and 1,000,000,000 of doses so that we can do with COVID 19 what we did with smallpox to make sure that we eliminate this scourge from the entire world.
Speaker 0: Fauci held the economy hostage, stating children and teachers could not feel safe going back to school, and businesses could not open to full capacity until the vast majority of the world became vaccinated under the false pretense that the COVID 19 vaccine could prevent infection.
Speaker 2: And take a look at waning immunity against infection with Janssen, with Moderna, and with Pfizer BioNTech. As you go from month to month, the immunity clearly wanes. Declines from 87.9% to 48.1%, so we know we need boosters.
Speaker 0: Vaccinated immunity rapidly diminished. In mere months, waning under 50% efficacy. Vaccines under 50% efficacy violate the standards of the FDA, WHO, and the COVID 19 EUA. In less than a year, all COVID vaccines lack supporting data to warrant their EUAs.
Speaker 2: I doubt that the federal government will be the main mover of a vaccine passport concept. You could foresee how an independent entity might say, well, we can't be dealing with you unless we know you're vaccinated, but it's not gonna be mandated from the federal government.
Speaker 22: President Biden would essentially require 2 thirds of American workers to either get vaccinated or face weekly testing. The Department of Labor will draft new rules requiring for all businesses with 100 workers or more. Additionally, most federal employees will now have to be vaccinated or face possible disciplinary action. It sounds as if president Biden is growing exasperated with people who are not vaccinated. Is he?
Speaker 2: Yes. He is. And I think that was very well manifested and expressed in his speech today. We really do need to get more people vaccinated, and what he said is, I think, a good roadway to getting there. That's gonna, you know, involve in total over a 100,000,000 people.
That is what we should be doing. I mean, we've tried everything we can to get people vaccinated. We have the solution within our grasp that we are going to implement that. And if that means more mandates, so be it. Science is the reason why you need to get vaccinated.
So this is in fact putting science first. If you listen to the science, the science overwhelmingly indicates that you should get vaccinated. So anything that the president does to see that we do get vaccinated is following the science. He's using the power of persuasion in his office as president to do that. And it was very clear from the wording of that that that's exactly what he was doing.
Enough is enough. We've gotta get people vaccinated. We have, within our grasp, the capability and the tools to do it. After stating that the federal government would not be involved in a vaccine passport system,
Speaker 4: 100,000,000 people were affected by yet another Fauci lie. Because the COVID 19 vaccine cannot prevent disease and infection, the federal government cannot justify mandating vaccines. But that did not stop the Biden administration and Fauci. Utilizing the power of persuasion by withholding access to their livelihoods and preventing children from going to school until they got vaccinated, as the chief medical adviser on COVID 19 to president Biden said.
Speaker 2: And if that means more mandates, so be it. As we get into the fall for all of us who will have waning immunity, but I've been vaccinated and boosted, and certainly over a period of months, it is very likely that my immune protection will diminish to the point of needing yet again another booster.
Speaker 0: The vaccines rapidly wanes, failing to protect against infection and transmission. Fauci continued to advise, doubling down on a failed vaccination strategy of getting boosted.
Speaker 2: Now we have VA 5, which clearly, because of its ability to evade immune responses, the protection that's given to you against BA 5 wanes and diminishes pretty rapidly over a period of several months.
Speaker 1: If you have not received a shot in 2022, how much has your immunity waned?
Speaker 2: Considerably. I mean, when you the the thing that is important to note is that immunity against infection wanes pretty quickly, and it goes way, way down. But it's slipping where it was up to 90, 80, then it goes down to 70, 75, 65, and 50, then you're really in a situation where you really do need a boost. A lot
Speaker 15: of people who got vaccinated got COVID anyway, and a lot of people who got vaccinated transmitted the disease to other people as well. Do you have any regrets about the salesmanship used to convince people to get vaccinated? In other words, did you oversell them? Did you give people the sense that if they get vaccinated, they're sort of in the clear when in fact, quite clearly, that has not been the case? And you
Speaker 41: had this quote that stood out to me. You said, show me a school that I shut down. Show me a factory that I shut down. Never. I never did.
I gave a public health recommendation that echoed the CDC's recommendation, and people made a decision based on that.
Speaker 2: We likely are moving towards a path with a vaccination cadence similar to that of the annual influenza vaccine with annual updated COVID 19 shots matched to the currently circulating strains for most of the population.
Speaker 4: Anthony Fauci funded gain of function research that created viruses that could cause a pandemic. Viruses that were designed to evade the immune response, therapeutics, and vaccines. Anthony Fauci, in response to the mess he created, was instrumental in developing and mandating a COVID 19 vaccine that failed to prevent infection. The same vaccine did not even last more than 2 years before becoming out of date. These vaccines not only failed to protect the vaccinated, but eroded their immune systems and made them more susceptible to further infections, leading to the vaccinated quickly becoming the majority of the COVID 19 deaths.
Fauci promoted that the COVID 19 vaccine would eradicate COVID 19. Now Fauci proposes a perpetual reliance upon annual COVID 19 boosters. Annual COVID 19 boosters would continue to erode the immune systems of the vaccinated, prolonging and enhancing disease within the vaccinated. Instead of eradicating COVID 19, the COVID 19 vaccine trapped the vaccinated in a never ending series of vaccinations. The COVID 19 vaccine did not end the threat of COVID 19, but the COVID 19 vaccine should lead to the end of the threat of Anthony Fauci by revoking Fauci's medical license.
Speaker 0: Despite Fauci's lengthy history of transgressions as a public health official, his greatest legal peril comes from lying to congress under oath, perjury.
Speaker 18: Gain of function research, as you know, is juicing up naturally occurring animal viruses to infect humans.
Speaker 1: Gain of function research on highly pathogenic avian influenza h 5n1.
Speaker 2: CAUSAR reported almost 60% mortality in humans.
Speaker 18: Doctor Ralph Barrick, a virologist in the US, has been collaborating with doctor Shi Zhengli of the Wuhan Virology Institute. Doctors Barrick and Shi worked together to insert bat virus spike protein into the backbone of the deadly SARS virus and then use this man made super virus to infect human airway cells. Doctor Fauci, do you still support funding of the NIH funding of the lab in Wuhan?
Speaker 2: We obviously were connected to that because they wanted to know, since you're our major funders, what kind of research will you fund? The NIH has not ever and does not now fund gain of function research in the Wuhan Institute.
Speaker 34: Coronavirus was enhanced in a lab. The National Institutes of Health acknowledged that it funded research of a virus that was studied at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
Speaker 2: The NIH and NIAID categorically has not funded gain of function research to be conducted in the Wuhan Institute.
Speaker 35: For years, the National Institutes of Health provided grant money to the EcoHealth Alliance Research Group, which conducted experiments with bat coronaviruses in Wuhan, China.
Speaker 14: So do
Speaker 18: you write about reports sending money to the Wuhan Virology Institute?
Speaker 2: We do not send money now to to Wuhan. A considerable amount of the activity that goes on in this area from a research standpoint comes from the NIH and NIAID. The NIH and NIAID did not fund gain of function research. We at NIAID being the major funders of most but not all of these people.
Speaker 18: We did. Under your tutelage, we were sending it through Eko Health. It was a subagency and a sub grant. Do you support the money from NIH that was going to the Wuhan Institute?
Speaker 2: Let me explain to you why that was done. Does this mutation make something more transmissible, more pathogenic, or adapt to host better of our own?
Speaker 18: Support it in the US. We have 11 labs doing it, and you have allowed it here. We have a committee to do it, but the committee has granted every exemption.
Speaker 2: Doctor Barrett does not doing gain of function research. And if it is, it's according to the guidelines that the experiments should be done, but the distribution of the knowledge should be restricted. And if you look at the grant and you look at the progress reports, it is not gain of function. Is the gain of function research in studies that increase predominantly the transmissibility You
Speaker 18: were saying things
Speaker 2: that are not correct. No matter how far you say it, there was research. The reason we are here today in this room and we're not in this room discussing so many of the other gain of function research that we do We have not funded gain of function research. But the bottom line is that gain and loss of function research is critical.
Speaker 18: Government scientists scientists like yourself who favor gain of function research
Speaker 2: I don't favor gain of function research. If you completely ban all gain of function research, then you're gonna interfere with some of the important things we need to do.
Speaker 18: 17 signed a paper that called it conspiracy theory, conspiracy theory, the idea that the virus could have originated in the lab. You think words like conspiracy theory should be in a scientific paper?
Speaker 2: Senator, I never used that word when I was referring to it.
Speaker 36: Biological Warfare Center in Wuhan and that the coronavirus escaped from that.
Speaker 2: I've heard these conspiracy theories and like all conspiracy theories, they're just conspiracy theories.
Speaker 42: Can you set here and unequivocally say the viral studies that NIH funded could not be indirectly or directly related to this final COVID 19 virus?
Speaker 2: Yeah. Looking at these experiments that were done that we funded, there would not be that possibility. A hybrid virus of a mouse virus that was adapted to a mouse that anyone that knows anything about virology would realize that that is not something that would infect a human, much less be pathogenic and transmissible.
Speaker 4: Fauci claiming a mouse virus could not infect humans is patently false.
Speaker 1: In the study of the murine and other animal retroviruses and the ability to examine not only the structural genes of those viruses, but also the regulatory genes.
Speaker 4: Whether the viruses come from monkeys, bats, cattle, mice, or pangolins does not matter. They are all mammals. Cross species transmission of mammalian retroviruses into humans has been documented since the seventies. In 1971, Stuart Aronson made the pioneering discovery that a mouse retrovirus could adapt to human tissue and replicate within human cells. The 1972 WHO bulletin specifically requests the study of such mouse retroviruses in humans to prolong disease in humans.
Gain of function study on any mammalian virus has the ability to transmit vertically into humans. When Ralph Barrick's mammalian virus gained the function of airborne transmission into humans, Barrick said, I don't think you can ignore that. Yet Fauci ignored the warnings as he promoted gain of function research in laboratories across the world, creating new non natural risks that provided no benefits. Gene editing, gene therapy, and gain of function research were presented as opportunities to advance the health of humanity, when in reality, gene editing and gain of function research represent the greatest threat to civilization that the human race has ever known. The foremost proponent and progressor of gain of function research is none other than doctor Anthony Fauci.
Mister Fauci even ignored his own warnings of gain of function research causing a pandemic. The defendant, mister Fauci, repeatedly lied under oath in regards to gain of function because the risk of perjury did not outweigh the benefits of his lies. These lies were designed to grant Fauci the immunity that his COVID vaccines could never provide. As the leader of a scientific cover up, these lies prevented the public from fully understanding Fauci's involvement in the origins of COVID 19. Why would the US government and WHO scientists across the world want to create a virus to long disease in humans.
As the director of the National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases, Anthony Fauci understood that an infectious disease simultaneously destroying and evading the immune system would provide perpetual problems requiring permanent pharmaceutical solutions. By manufacturing crises and exacerbating them, Fauci was able to spread fear faster than the disease. Capitalizing on that fear, Fauci coerced an exponentially increasing NIAID budget.
Speaker 0: Anthony Fauci established a consistent pattern of behavior as a public health official. 40 years of violating the Hippocratic Oath by protecting pharmaceutical producers while harming the public Fauci was supposed to serve. Rather than preventing disease, Fauci's tenure at the NIAID will be defined by a constant stream of infectious diseases with failed responses. Fauci's approved treatments for these diseases were consistently more dangerous than the disease.
Speaker 4: Fauci oversaw and funded the research for AZT, nevirapine, remdesivir, and the COVID 19 vaccine. Without unethical experiments manipulating the data to hide the risks and inflate the benefits, Fauci wouldn't have developed a single treatment for AIDS and COVID 19. But by spreading fear, compelling the government to declare public health emergencies, Fauci bypassed regulations and standards that would prevented approval.
Speaker 0: Any scientific dissenters who dared question Fauci's data manipulation were blacklisted, labeled as quacks, and some lost their medical licenses. Sensoring the evidence shielded Fauci in the tunnel vision of his agenda, declaring himself immune from scientific judgment.
Speaker 4: The medical community relies upon a moral authority granted by the public, assuming that the doctor will treat the patient without violating the Hippocratic Oath. Fauci's actions have damaged the public's trust in the medical community more than any individual in scientific history. By providing documentary evidence, we illustrated a full context of Fauci's career. The trial of Anthony Fauci grants the jury in the court of public opinion immune to the system of Fauci's revisionist history. Today, it is not just Fauci on trial, but all of the scientific research Fauci promoted.
Gene editing, gain of function research, and gene therapy stand before the judgment of this court. Manipulating viruses to infect humans and utilizing retroviruses to edit genes, funding research that resulted in death and no health benefits, gene editing, gain of function research, and gene therapy have all led to the unconsented experimentation of the human race. Fauci's decisions will continue to alter the DNA of the American public and the world long after he is gone. It is a hard thing for an experimental scientist to accept, but it has become all too evident that Anthony Fauci stands guilty, guilty of ignoring the dangers in knowing what should not be known.
Speaker 2: I show you some representative papers I show you some representative papers giving you an idea of the kinds of things I was interested in. The suppression of the immune response in humans by immunosuppressive therapies like glucocorticoids. So the WHO has this r and d blueprint, which aims to reduce the time between when you declare a public health emergency and you have a vaccine ready. So what they've done is that they've named a number of diseases to be urgently addressed under the r and d blueprint CEPI, which is the Coalition For Epidemic Preparedness and Innovations, which are working with a number of partners, including us, to develop vaccines against priority pathogens, to develop platforms, to perfect platforms that are easily interdigitated with whatever outbreak you have. So here are some of the vaccine platform technologies.
A lot of other disciplines benefited from the study of HIV, even our understanding of the immune system much more precisely many of those circuits of regulation of the immune system.

I shared my thoughts with Joe Rogan about why this election feels like a crucial turning point for America. I've become politically active because I believe that if Trump isn't elected, we risk losing our democracy and the two-party system. I see a concerning trend where the Democrats are allegedly importing large numbers of illegals into swing states, which could skew election outcomes. With tight margins in these states, this could lead to a future where only one party dominates. Many people support requiring ID to vote, which reflects the will of the majority.
@EricAbbenante - Eric Abbenante
Elon Musk depicts to Joe Rogan why he thinks this election is a turning point for America, if we don't elect Trump. In short, Elon is fighting against Democrats importing illegals into swing states to rig every future election: Elon Musk: "Obviously, I view this election as a turning point like a fork in the road of destiny. That is incredibly important. You know, I've I've not been politically active until this election. And the reason I've been politically active this election is because I think if we don't if we don't elect Trump, I think I think we will lose. We will we will lose democracy in this country. We will lose the two party system. And let me explain why. So there's there's only like six, six or seven swing states that the margin of victory in those states is small, often like ten or 20,000 votes. What the Democrat administration has been doing is importing vast numbers of illegals into swing states. You can look at the numbers on the actual government website, meaning you don't take my word for it. You know, just look at the numbers as reported by the government, which is controlled by the Democrats. And and what we're seeing is triple digit increases in the number of illegals in every swing state, some cases 700% increases. These are these are gigantic numbers. So if you if you have a state that was that that went that has a ten or 20,000 vote margin and you put 200,000 illegals in that state, you ten that that used to be swamp. It's not a swing state anymore. It's going to vote blue. And then once the swing states vote blue, there is no election anymore. It's there's only a Democrat primary, which is so crazy and it's so crazy. People are fine with that. Well, I guess people on the left we find with that because they think that's a good idea. Obviously, they'll they will keep stacking the deck by bringing in vast numbers of illegals into the swing states to keep stacking it so that the next election, each successive election, will be worse than the last one. And that's what's happening. The reason is to cheat. But the thing is, it's only like you can never make an argument any other way. And I think 84% of people polled believe that you should show ID to vote. So it's against the will of the people. Yes. And we are extremely rare. We're an outlier in not requiring I.D.. Basically, almost every country on earth requires I.D. to vote." Rocket scientist: 'They're importing illegals, and preventing voter ID so they can cheat, it's not rocket science'

This election is a critical turning point for democracy in America. If Trump doesn't win, we risk losing the two-party system. Swing states, which have narrow margins of victory, are being flooded with illegal immigrants, drastically changing their voting dynamics. This strategy could lead to permanent Democratic control, eliminating competitive elections. For example, California has passed laws making it illegal to show ID when voting, raising concerns about election integrity. Most countries require ID to vote, and without it, election fraud becomes untraceable. If the Democrats win this election, they will legalize enough illegals to secure swing states, leading to a future where every election favors them, similar to California, with no escape for voters. This is our last chance to preserve democracy.

Speaker 0: Obviously, I I view this election as a turning point, like a fork in the road of destiny that is, incredibly important. You know, I've not I've not been politically active until this election. And the reason I've been politically active this election is because I think if we don't if we don't elect Trump, I think we I think we will lose, we will act we will lose democracy in this country. We will we will lose the 2 party system. And let me explain why.
So there's there's only, like, 6 6 or 7 swing states. The the the margin of victory in those states is small, often like 10 or 20000 votes. What the the democrat administration has been doing is importing vast numbers of illegals into swing states. You can look at the numbers on the actual government, website. I mean, you don't take my word for it.
You'll just look look at the numbers as reported by the government, which is controlled by the Democrats. And and what we're seeing is triple digit increases in the number of legals in every swing state. Some cases, 700% increases. These are these are gigantic numbers. So if you if you have a state that was that that went that that has a 10 or 20,000 vote margin, and you put 200,000 illegals into that state, you 10 x the the you you swamp the it's it's not a swing state anymore.
It's gonna vote blue. And then and then once the swing states vote blue, the the there there is no election anymore. It's there's only a Democrat primary.
Speaker 1: Which is so crazy. And it's so crazy people are fine with that.
Speaker 0: Well, I guess people on the left will be fine with that because they think that's a good idea.
Speaker 1: They just wanna win. They just wanna win.
Speaker 0: Correct. The the like, the thing is, like like, one does not need actually any grand conspiracy theory for this. You just have to look at the simple matter of incentives. If if the if the Democrat party wants to win, like, basically achieve permanent victory, all they need to do is is turn the swing states. Turn the swing states blue, they have permanent victory.
And then we're 1 then then we're a a one party state, and then they they will keep doing that, obviously. They'll they will keep stacking the deck, by bringing in vast numbers of illegals into the swing states, keep stacking it so that the next election, each successive election will be worse than the last one. And that's what's happening. And if you wanna see, like, well, is this actually gonna happen? Look at California.
California is super majority dem. 70% dem. A month ago, they passed a law making it illegal to show ID in any election in California. So you so so a friend of mine went to vote, in in, in Palo Alto because he was like, is this for real? He tried to show his ID, and that they reacted like a like like like if you show a cross to a vampire.
Okay. They're like, no. We can't even look at that ID. It's it is illegal for them to even look at your ID if you want to present it in California. Why For any election at all, even like city council.
Speaker 1: What logical reason other than to cheat would you ever have that law?
Speaker 0: The reason is to cheat.
Speaker 1: That's but the only it's only law like, you can never make an argument any other way. And I think 84% of people polled believe that you should show ID to vote. So it's against the will of the people.
Speaker 0: Yes. And and we are extremely rare. We're an outlier in not requiring ID. Basically, almost every country on earth requires ID to vote. So so the the as soon as you make you ban ID for voting, it makes fraud impossible to prove.
Because how do you trace the fraud?
Speaker 1: Right. Yeah. It's insane.
Speaker 0: It's insane.
Speaker 1: It's insane.
Speaker 0: And What I'm saying is that
Speaker 1: How is it legal?
Speaker 0: Is that is that what I'm saying is, like, this election is the last chance to preserve democracy in America. Mark my words. Everything they accuse Trump of, they are guilty of. And and if if Trump doesn't win, this will be the last real election in America. And we will if if if the if the Kamala deep if the big government Kamala puppet machine wins, they will legalize illegals in the swing states.
There will be no swing states. Every election going forward will be a a guaranteed Democrat win, and it'll actually be worse than California. The reason it'll be worse than California is because the one thing that keeps California from being super crazy is that you can move out of California, like you and I did. We you and I used to be in California, but we moved to Texas. We're still in America.
But if if the Dems won this election, they will legalize enough illegals to turn the swing states, and everywhere will be like California. There will be no escape.
Speaker 1: That is so insane.
Speaker 0: This is the final this is it. This is the last chance.

I shared my reasons for supporting Donald Trump, emphasizing his stance on immigration and protecting women's sports. I criticized Kamala Harris for her policies that I believe harm families and women. I also discussed the backlash I faced from Moderna for revealing my vaccine-related health issues. During my appearances with Bill Maher, I challenged his views on election denial and the January 6 events, highlighting the media's misleading narratives. Lastly, I reported on serious allegations against Doug Emhoff, questioning the media's portrayal of him as a protector of women.
@EricAbbenante - Eric Abbenante
Megyn Kelly at the Trump rally in Pennsylvania: Megyn Kelly: "I do want to tell you the main reasons I am voting for Donald Trump. Number one, immigration. He mentioned it and people like Laken Riley. I'll be thinking about her tomorrow. All day, 22 years old, killed in Georgia, a young nursing student buying illegal. I'll be thinking about Jocelyn Nungaray, 12 years old in Texas, murdered by two Venezuelan illegals. President Trump closed the border. Kamala Harris opened it by choice. It wasn't accidental. She said it would be humane. That's what she and her boss believed. Tell it to Laken Riley's family. There was nothing humane about it. He closed it, they opened it. It was an intentional choice, and there's no reason not to believe they won't do it again. The boys should not be in the girls sports. The boys should not be in the girls bathrooms. The boys should not be in the girls locker rooms. Payton McNabb, North Carolina, sophomore in high school, slammed so hard in the face by a volleyball hit at her by a boy pretending to be a girl. She suffered traumatic brain injury and permanent paralysis. Kamala Harris looks at her and says, Be kind, suck it up. And that's what's right. Why do our girls have to face brain damage in order to be kind to boys who want to invade their sports? And by the way, they are going into the women's prisons. She changed the law in California to make sure the taxpayers would pay for their sex change operations. She was not just following the law. She changed the law. President Trump will stop it. He got he got mocked by the left for saying he would be a protector of women. He will be a protector of women. And it's why I'm voting for him. He will close the border. He will keep the boys out of girls sports and where they don't belong. And you know what else? One more thing. He will look out for our boys to our forgotten boys and our forgotten men. Guys like you. Guys like these guys who've got the calluses on their hands, who work for a living with the beards and the tats, who maybe have a beer after work and don't want to be judged by people like Oprah and Beyonce. They will never have to face the consequences of her disastrous economic policies. These guys will. He gets it. President Trump gets it. He will not look at our boys like they're second class citizens and ladies out there who want a bit of girl power in this election. Let me tell you something. How can you win when the sons and the husbands and the brothers and the dads you love are losing? It's not a win. We care." Trump can turn a former 'enemy' into a fierce advocate. Kamala Harris can't even get Joe Biden to stop sabotaging her campaign.

I wanted to share why I'm voting for Donald Trump. First, immigration is a major concern; he closed the border, while Kamala Harris chose to open it, leading to tragic incidents involving illegal immigrants. Second, boys should not compete in girls' sports or use their facilities, as it endangers young women. Trump will protect women's rights and keep our children safe. He understands the struggles of working-class men and will not treat them as second-class citizens. Women should care about the well-being of their sons and families. Lastly, I reject the new version of masculinity promoted by some politicians. I prefer a strong leader who knows how to fight for what’s right. Vote for Trump and encourage your friends to do the same.

Speaker 0: Let me tell you, first of all, one of the reasons why I wanted to come here. One of the many reasons I wanted to come here. When I launched my show 4 years ago, we had Mark Cuban on the program. You know? Yeah.
May have seen he was in the news this week. And he started going on about how bad America's race history was and how ashamed he was of America, and that's why he was at all these protests. And he felt it was really important to stand up and speak out about human rights violations. And then it got awkward when I asked him about all the money he was taking from China. Then he dropped a bunch of f bombs and I thought, I really enjoy this feeling of proving Mark Cuban wrong.
And so here I am at a Trump rally, a strong intelligent woman to prove Mark Cuban wrong again. I won't take up much of your time, but I do wanna tell you the main reasons I am voting for Donald Trump. Number 1, immigration. He mentioned it. And people like Lakeon Rowley.
I'll be thinking about her tomorrow all day. 22 years old, killed in Georgia, a young nursing student by an illegal. I'll be thinking about Jocelyn Nungari, 12 years old, in Texas, murdered by 2 Venezuelan illegals. President Trump closed the border. Kamala Harris opened it by choice.
It wasn't accidental. She said it would be humane. That's what she and her boss believed. Tell it to Lake and Riley's family. There was nothing humane about it.
He closed it. They opened it. It was an intentional choice and there's no reason not to believe they won't do it again. The boys should not be in the girls' sports. The boys should not be in the girls' bathrooms.
The boys should not be in the girls' locker rooms. Payton McNabb, North Carolina sophomore in high school, slammed so hard in the face by a volleyball hit at her by a boy pretending to be a girl. She suffered traumatic brain injury and permanent paralysis. Kamala Harris looks at her and says, be kind. Suck it up.
And that's what's right. Why do our girls have to face brain damage in order to be kind to boys who want to invade their sports? And by the way, they are going into the women's prisons. She changed the law in California to make sure the taxpayers would pay for their sex change operations. She was not just following the law.
She changed the law. President Trump will stop it. He got he got mocked by the left for saying he would be a protector of women. He will be a protector of women and it's why I'm voting for him. He will close the border.
He will keep the boys out of girls sports and where they don't belong. And you know what else? One more thing. He will look out for our boys too, our forgotten boys and our forgotten men. Guys like you.
Guys like these guys who've got the calluses on their hands, who work for a living with the beards and the tats, who maybe have a beer after work and don't wanna be judged by people like Oprah and Beyonce who will never have to face the consequences of her disastrous economic policies. These guys did. He gets it. President Trump gets it. He will not look at our boys like they're second class citizens.
And ladies out there who want a bit of girl power in this election, let me tell you something. How can you win when the sons and the husbands and the brothers and the dads you love are losing? It's not a win. We care, young women and older, about the lives of our children, the safety of our children. And we need not get so obsessed with what happens when they are in the womb that we forget about taking care of them once we are here and they are here and they are loved.
Last point. What I don't want, what I don't think you want is the less version of masculinity. You see that ad they did about Trump voters trying to encourage women to lie to their husbands so that they could vote for her instead of Trump. That's their version of what marriage looks like. An overbearing husband who bullies his wife into saying she voted one way as opposed to an honest open relationship.
Oh, wait. I'm talking about Kamala and Doug. Okay. Sorry. Where was that story in the news?
Where is that story? I don't remember a single media person, not one who sat with him asked him about the abuse allegations against him by a successful professional attorney who has great details, who has receipts, who has witnesses. No one even asked about it. I'm not into their version of toxic masculinity or new masculinity. I prefer the old version.
Then, all of you and I prefer a president who understands how to be strong and how to fight. I hope all of you do what I did last week. Vote Trump and get 10 friends to vote Trump to.

Video Transcript AI Summary
Republicans have passed a tough immigration bill, HR 2, but it faced challenges in the Senate. Speaker Johnson claims they achieved legislative success, but it stalled due to lack of Senate support. If Donald Trump secures the presidency and maintains control of the House, his agenda could advance without Democratic opposition in the Senate. However, significant legislation still requires 60 votes, which could lead to a Democratic minority blocking some initiatives. The Supreme Court's ruling on Chevron deference limits executive agency authority, potentially complicating Trump's plans.
In battleground states, Trump leads: Pennsylvania (51.1% to 47.8%), Michigan (52.4% to 45.8%), Wisconsin (51.0% to 47.1%), Arizona (50% to 49.1%), and Nevada (51% to 47.4%), with significant vote margins in each.

Speaker 0: The proposals he's made. Republicans have said we passed an immigration bill, HR 2, which was a a I don't A compromised package. No. No. No.
A tough it wasn't a compromised package. It was a tough, tough immigration bill. At least. It would no. No.
HR 2 talking
Speaker 1: about the House Sorry.
Speaker 0: The House the House version is what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Preferred one.
Speaker 0: Yeah. The the Senate version was bipartisan. The House version when you asked speaker Johnson what have you accomplished, he said, well, we passed all this legislation, but it just died in the senate because Chuck Schumer wouldn't even allow a vote on it, assuming that the Republicans hold on to the house. We and we have no idea. But it's not crazy.
Speaker 2: You're getting into a level of detail that I think, you know I mean
Speaker 0: My point is just that my point
Speaker 2: voting people. Donald Trump campaigned on mass deportations. So this is what this is all was for.
Speaker 0: That's what I'm saying. My point is whatever Donald Trump wants, if they they have the senate now, if they get the White House and if they get the house, if they keep the house, whatever Donald Trump wants will become law. There will not be the backstop of the senate But the controlled by Democrats.
Speaker 2: Did not want the backstop. This is what I'm trying to say. We may be looking at a map of of voters who weren't looking to give him a backstop.
Speaker 0: That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Not not to get too, sort of dorky here, but I think it it is still possible, if he is president, that some big pieces of legislation could be stopped in the United States Senate because legislation, at this point, still needs, 60 votes. But it is the cabinet who he's gonna have in his, not just in and around his administration, but, again, the, the bench, that is all regular majority.
Speaker 3: Yeah. It's interesting when you think about it because, the the supreme court passed, passed. They they ruled on the Chevron deference and basically said agencies, executive agencies, can't have the authority to do what they want. It has to be passed by congress, and you could end up with the with the democratic minority. I mean, again, all of this is somewhat speculative.
Democratic minority in the senate being able to block legislation, and the the Trump agency is not able to enact it on their own.
Speaker 1: Yep. Just one of, many things that we would be talking about if Donald Trump does in fact win. We're not there yet. Jay, over to you.
Speaker 0: Thanks, Dana. Let's bring you back to the key race alert and where we stand with the battleground states that we have not called yet. Pennsylvania, Donald Trump in the lead, 51.1 percent to Kamala Harris's 47.8%. Donald Trump has an almost 220,000 vote lead. That's with 93% of the estimated vote in from the great Keystone State.
Michigan, Donald Trump up 52.4% to Harris' 45.8%. Donald Trump with a more than 244,000 vote lead in Michigan with 66% of the estimated vote in. In Wisconsin, Donald Trump, 51 0.2%, Harris, 47.1%.

Donald Trump is currently leading in key battleground states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, surpassing 50% of the vote. This marks a notable increase from his previous performances in 2016 and 2020. Trump's supporters are optimistic, expecting him to express gratitude to his team during his speech. There are discussions about the impact of abortion on the election, with some believing it was overemphasized as a driving issue. The focus is shifting to how Trump will address the nation moving forward, with concerns about his leadership style and ability to prioritize the country over himself. The political landscape is changing, with the Republican Party emerging as a multiracial working-class party, but the implications for policy, especially on climate issues, remain uncertain.

Speaker 0: 1%, a 191,000 votes ahead with 94% reporting the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Just wanna go back in time. At the beginning of the night, I said she's the variable. Her first time on the national ballot as the presidential nominee, he was the constant. Not in my lifetime, 3 elections in a row, the same Republican nominee for president.
Well, Donald Trump getting 50%, 51% right now in Pennsylvania. In 2020, he was a 49. In 2016, he was a 49. Trump was the constant. Right?
The question Democrats always said, Trump can't get to 50 in the battleground states. So you have to eliminate the 3rd party candidates and just get above him. Just get above 49, get 49.5. Well, Trump tonight blew that part up, at least where we are right now, because he's above 50 in Pennsylvania. He's above 50 in Michigan where he was at 48 again, and you go back to 2016, 48.
Trump was a constant, except for this year, he grew. He grew, or he's growing anyway. We don't have the final numbers right now, but he's above 50 there. And then in battleground, Wisconsin, I won't go back and forth again through it again, but he was a 47, 48, 2016, 2020, and there he is above 50% with again. This state decided by 20,000 votes, 2 elections in a row.
Donald Trump's ahead by a 125,000. This state won by Joe Biden last time by a 100 and 4,000 votes, a big win for the Democrats here. Then the Democratic governor wins in 2022. The Democrats make gain in the legislatures. Democrats think Michigan is growing in their favor.
Donald Trump's 243,000 votes ahead with 69%. Still some room there maybe to to see it happen. That's the one with the most outstanding vote. And Anderson, as I throw back to you, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, so critical to Trump cracking the blue wall flipping the blue wall in 2016, his biggest disappointment when he lost it in 2020. Still won't admit he lost it in 2020.
And now you see in 2024, again, was an 80,000 vote win for Joe Biden last time. Donald Trump with 94% of the vote counted, Anderson, up by 191,000 votes. In battleground, Pennsylvania, that's a blowout.
Speaker 1: Yeah. It's amazing. It seems you were pointing out in Wayne County in Detroit, 10 percentage points higher than he ran in 2020. We're seeing that in county after county.
Speaker 2: What do you
Speaker 1: expect him to say tonight?
Speaker 2: I don't know, Anderson. Listen. I I He's gonna be short. That's not that'd be concise. There's gonna be a hopefully, it's hopefully, we see happy Trump.
Happy Trump sells. Right? Happy Trump's great for America. I think he'll thank I think he'll thank the the the team, Susie, Chris LaSevida, the people who've been there when no one else believed. Those folks believed.
Susie has been on this team since, since so far back nobody can remember. Nobody wanted to see Donald Trump. Nobody wanted to go talk to him. He was he was a pariah, and Susie was there, and this team has been there the entire time. You know, we've sat here, Anderson, through a lot of different trials and tribulations, literally.
Like and, and 2 assassination attempts. And so I I think he has a right at this point to be a little victorious on this stage and, you know, pump his fist and say, you know, damn it. We won. Be a little happy. Take the vote.
Speaker 3: The trials are probably over now, and the question is, will the tribulations be ours? So
Speaker 4: Can I just say, by the way, like, this isn't the outcome I personally wanted? I'm I'm happy with the decision I made not to support him. But you know what? I think Americans are gonna accept the results of this. I think we're gonna move forward.
I don't think we're gonna be storming the capital and spreading lies about our elections because that's what you do if you care about democracy. I do wanna hit on one thing, though. Abortion, abortion, abortion. We thought this was many people, I should say, thought this would be the driving issue this election. It was gonna drive women out in the suburbs.
I warned about a year ago that in the key battleground states, Georgia is the only one that has what would be considered an ultra restrictive abortion law. So if if you're expecting voters to be highly animated about the laws of another state, in Pennsylvania and Michigan, I just don't think that materialized. Also, that a significant portion of the country actually did support the overturning of of Roe. That is a fact in it. So I think there was a missed there was an overemphasis there in not reading the move that there are other issues that were driving women.
Speaker 3: Well, there are 2 states that had abortion On the initiatives on the ballot today, Arizona and Nevada.
Speaker 2: And Florida.
Speaker 3: Well but I'm saying that of the battleground states, they were on the ballot, and and yet we'll see what happens in those states, but he appears to be headed toward it. But I think look. First of all, let's just note, that I I hope what he does is stand up and talk about the country and show grace and thanks. You know, you say he should take a victory lap, but
Speaker 2: I mean, David, he he's beginning to he's beginning to kick down The
Speaker 3: one of the
Speaker 2: No. 4 years.
Speaker 3: Yes. Because he refused to accept the last, results of last election, because he helped instigate what we saw on January 6th. That's why he's been taking what he's been taking. These were things of his own making. But that's in the past now that people have made, this judgment.
The question is, what does he do now? And one of the things that has not been apparent is the ability to actually put others first and put the country, first and not make it all about him. You heard the whole discussion about he's gonna remember who showed up, and who left their campaign headquarters to be here and so on. These are not the instincts of a of a big leader. These are the instincts of a, you know, these are selfish instincts.
So, you know, can he change at 78? We'll see.
Speaker 5: I I just think that I'm still absorbing all this. It's a lot. And I and I I think when he steps out on the stage, we see him as, like, you know, America's next president. The world's looking too.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: If you're a soldier in Ukraine looking at Russians being more and more aggressive, you're very nervous tonight. You're very nervous tonight. If you're if you're a if you're a a solar farmer in a red state trying to deal with this climate issue, we've had, you know, $1,000,000,000 climate disasters, your financing might fall apart tomorrow morning because you can't now count on the federal government being at the front lines of this fight the way that the Biden Harris administration had put the United States government at the front of the climate fight. So you got people all around the world whose fates are now in the hands of someone who can either be aggrieved or it can be big. He's usually not big.
And so I think this this is a shock. There's a political realignment for sure. The Republican party can now claim to be a multiracial work working class party. That is a shock, but the policy implications for planet Earth are yet to be known.
Speaker 4: I mean, I think that's the real open

Nebraska allocates its electoral votes by congressional district, with Kamala Harris receiving one and Donald Trump another. Trump now has 266 electoral votes, while Harris has 188. To win, 270 votes are needed, so Trump needs just 4 more.
The electoral map shows challenges for Harris, particularly in Pennsylvania, where public sentiment is against the Biden-Harris administration. Only 26% believe the country is on the right track, and Biden's approval rating is low.
Trump has made a remarkable comeback since January 6, 2021, regaining support within his party after a tumultuous period. He has solidified his position, making it difficult for Harris to position herself as a change agent. The situation looks increasingly tough for her as the election progresses.

Speaker 0: Uh-huh. Nebraska gives its electoral votes, according to congressional district. Kamala Harris will get one of them. Donald Trump will get another one of them of the 5. Let's look at the electoral map.
Donald Trump now has 200 and 66 electoral votes because we just gave him one from Nebraska's, I think, 1st congressional district. Kamala Harris has 188 because we just gave her one from Nebraska's 2nd congressional district. 270 are needed to win. Donald Trump needs only 4 more electoral votes in order to be the president. Dana?
Speaker 1: I mean, Pennsylvania. If you look at those numbers, 266. 266. Or more. And you just saw the map that John did, the path that he, the different paths that he put out there for Donald Trump and that for Kamala Harris.
And
Speaker 2: I'm so sorry. I mean, that map of where she did not perform, the, like, completely grayed out map where she never over performed Biden, more than 3%, that's just rough.
Speaker 3: I I I think I think there are 2 stories here. 1 is the burden that she faced. And to go back to the very beginning of the night when we did the right track, wrong track, 26% of the country thinks that the that that the nation is in the right track. 72% think they're in the wrong track. And when it came to the performance of Joe Biden, it was 41% to approved to 58% disapprove.
So she had an enormous burden. And and, you know, people are unhappy with the way the Biden Harris administration has run this country for the last 4 years, and she did not succeed. I'm not sure it was possible for her to succeed in somehow positioning herself as an agent of change and distancing herself from Biden. There's another part of the story that we gotta talk about, which is Donald Trump. The fact is that when you go back to January 6, 2021 to today, it is an extraordinary comeback.
He was a pariah when he left town on January 20th, refused to, even go to the inauguration. There was the vast majority of members of his own party wouldn't be seen with him. He, you know, over the course of the 4 years, he proceeds to to win himself back into the party, declares right after the tremendous defeat of the, of the Republicans. There were certainly an unsuccessful showing in the midterms in 2022, wins a contested primary. And, you know, this is his party.
This is these these voters
Speaker 1: won him. Party.
Speaker 3: What? It's
Speaker 1: not just his party now.
Speaker 3: And that's No. It's his country.
Speaker 1: I mean, we again, we have to be careful. We haven't called it yet, but Pennsylvania makes it extremely, tough for Kamala Harris. And that's one of the things, I mean, that the Trump side

I've never seen her be shy before. Susie, they've been they're great. Everybody up here is great. Everybody up here is very special. But, the Trump who did you say?
Oh, let me tell you. We have a new star. A star is born, Elon. Now he is. Now he's an amazing guy.
We were sitting together tonight. You know, he spent 2 weeks in Philadelphia and different parts of Pennsylvania campaigning. You know, he sent the rocket up 2 weeks ago. And I saw that rocket and I saw it coming down. I saw it.
It was when it left, it was beautiful, shiny white. When it came down, it didn't look so pretty. It was going 10,000 miles an hour and it was burning like hell. I said, what happened to your paint job? He said, we've never made a paint that could withstand that kind of heat.
And, but I saw it come down and turn around. And there was, you know, it's like 22 stories tall, by the way. It looks a little smaller than that, but it's big. And it came down and down and you saw that fire burning. And I'm saying only Elon can do this.
It must be an Elon. And I tell the story. I told it last night. I had a man on the phone. I had the screen muted.
No sound. I was talking to a very important man, happens to be here. And a very important guy, one of the most important people in, I would say, the country actually. But, you know, I was president and now it looks like I was going to be maybe president again, so I figured I could ask him to hold. So I asked him to hold and because especially because you're gonna be president again, they hold.
So I took the phone down and I'm looking at the screen. I'm seeing this crazy thing that's going around and coming down. It looks like it's gonna crash into the gantry. And I said, oh, no. And I said, do me a favor.
Do you mind holding for a couple of minutes? I wanna see this. I thought it was a space age movie or something. I put the phone down, bad boy. I didn't pick it up for 45 minutes and he was holding.
But this spaceship came down and I saw those engines firing and it looked like it was over. It was gonna smash and then I saw the fire pour out from the left side and I put it straight and it came down so gently and then it wrapped those arms around it and it held it. And just like you hold your baby at night, your little baby, and it was a beautiful thing to see. And I called Elon. I said, Elon, was that you?
He said, yes, it was. I said, who else can do that? Can Russia do it? No. Can China do it?
No. Can the United States do it other than you? No. Nobody can do that. I said, that's why I love you, Elon.
That's great. And you know, when we had the tragic hurricane, Helene, and it hit in particular, it hit North Carolina, they were really devastated, the water. This was a big water, as big as we've ever seen water hurricane. It built lakes out of nothing. Fields became lakes, and and the danger was unbelievable.
And the people from North Carolina came to me and they said, would it be possible, at all possible, for you to speak to Elon Musk? We need Starlink. I said, what's Starlink? It's a form of communication. So I called Elon and I'll tell you what he had and it was very dangerous.
People would die. They had no communication. All the wires were down. I called Elon Musk. I said, Elon, you have something called Starlink.
Is that right? Yes. I do. What the hell is it? He said, it's a communication system that's very good.
I said, Elon, they need it really, really badly in North Carolina. Can you get it? He had that there so fast. It was incredible. So and it was great.
It saved a lot of lives. He saved a lot of lives. But he's a character. He's a special guy. He's a super genius.
We have to protect our geniuses. We don't have that many of them. We have to protect our super geniuses. I want to thank some of the you know, we have up here today the US Open champion. He's, fantastic.
He's slightly longer than me. It's a ball a little bit longer than me. Just a little bit. Bryson DeChambeau is up here someplace. What happened to Bryson?

Great US Open, Bryson. That's a fantastic job. And we also have a man, Dana White, who has done some job. He's a tough guy. So Dana started UFC and, came to me.
Do you mind if I use your nobody wanted to give him a rinse because they said it's a rough sport, a little rough. And I helped him out a little bit. And I went and they said, this is the roughest sport I've ever seen. But I began to like it and he loved it. And nobody's done a better job in sports.

Currently, Republicans lead with 31 states to Democrats' 19. Historical context shows that Democrats have faced challenges in appealing to blue-collar voters, particularly in key areas like Macomb County, where Trump garnered 58% of the vote. In affluent suburbs, Trump also made slight gains. The Democrats need to reassess their messaging, especially regarding urban issues and crime, to reconnect with working-class voters. Even in traditionally blue states like New York, Democratic margins have decreased. The results indicate a troubling trend for Democrats, as they are losing ground in states that were once secure. The upcoming discussions will focus on how to address these challenges and regain voter trust.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Excuse me for turning my back. This is where we are right now. That number could change. We have 50 states. The Republicans are winning 31 to 19.
In a football game, if you lose like that, the coach gets together and says, what should we do differently? Right? Ronald Reagan, mister Wallace, and I were both child prodigies. So we were around. We remember this.
Ronald Reagan won 49 states. In the next election, George h w Bush won 40 states over Michael Dukakis. And some Democratic governors, Bill Clinton in Arkansas, Jim Hunt in North Carolina, Roy Romo was out in Colorado, some Democratic governors Lawton Chiles, believe it or not, a Democratic governor of Florida. Governors like that got together and said, we have a problem, Democrats. What are we gonna do about it?
This is gonna be a fascinating conversation in the days ahead. Because you see these 3 states right here, the blue wall states, right now, they're not done. It's possible the vice president picks up one of them. But right now, the math is pretty damning for her right there. Democratic governor, Democratic governor, Democratic governor.
What do the Democratic governors say? Arizona right now is going Republican. We'll see what happens with Democratic governor. Where is the where where are the people gonna stand up, Jake? That's my biggest question and say, you know, Houston, we have a problem.
How do we fix it? Back in the Bill Clinton days, that was the Democratic Leadership Council. They said the party was too liberal. A lot of those conversations you just had one at that table over there are happening tonight. A lot of Democratic incoming tonight to me is Democrats need a new way to talk about urban America.
They need a new way to talk about crime, and they need a new way to talk to counter Donald Trump's what the Democrats call fake populism. The voters today don't seem to see it that way. But the Democrats say it's fake populism, so how do we answer? Why are working class voters why is that happening out there? Right?
So that's what the messaging problem is Democrats are texting about. And when you say, well, what are they talking about? Well, this is what they're talking about. Again, mister Wallace and I were standing on a platform here in 1988 when Michael Dukakis rode the tank, in Warren, Michigan. That's Macomb County.
Donald Trump is getting 58% of the vote right now in Macomb County. Those are those used to be Democrats. Those are blue collar workers who work with their hand a few miles north of Detroit. A lot of them are unionized union members, 58% of the vote. He got 53% there 4 years ago.
So in an election where Democrats are trying to pull back blue collar working class voters, Donald Trump took more. We're not at the final count yet, but there you see it there. And so then you come here to Oakland County. This is your more affluent suburbs. Again, when I started doing this, this was Republican territory.
So take a look at it. Donald Trump at 42% there in 2020. Donald Trump at 43%, just a tad better. Alright? Trump did well, made gains with blue collar workers, and some of those are black workers and Latino workers, by the way.
They're not all just white blue collar workers. His suburban, we're gonna have to this is gonna take a while to analyze all this. He seems to have inched up a little bit in the suburbs. That's enough to win. That would still be a place where Republicans look like, how how do we improve after this?
But when you have a map like this let's come over to Wisconsin. Alright? I said early in the night, can the vice president do in Brown County by can she narrow the margins? This is Green Bay again, blue collar workers, Green Bay Packers fans. 55% to 43%.
Joe Biden had 45%, a little more. Again, it's a point or 2, but the Democrats are heading in the wrong direction with the voters they need. Now a lot of Democrats scoff when you come out to the national map and they see all this in the middle, and they say, well, nobody lives there or they're the flyer of the states or they have tiny roles in the electoral college. I'm telling you when the score is 31 to 19, it's time to have a conversation about who we're talking to and who we're losing and who won't listen to us. That's the issue there.
So I just wanna come down and look at a few other places as we come through this. You we were talking about this earlier, Jake. Again, Joe Biden got 61% in New York state. It's a blue state. Right?
It's a blue state. 61 percent in 2020. The vice president's down to 56% if you round it. So even in the reliably blue states, the margins are down a little bit. You can write it off if you want to one election.
You can write it off to the really bad cost of living climate that you live in, but you can also say that our candidates and our message did not counter his message. Again, she's winning 96%, 52%. So call that a 5 point race, 52, 5a half, 6 point race. 4 years ago, it was a 10 point race. So even in places that are blue on this map, the margins are more narrow, which tells the Democrats you're losing 31 out of the 50 if it finishes out that way.
Your margins have shrunk even in the states where you have won for years. The 3 states that made Joe Biden president there in 2020, once again, made Donald Trump president. We're not done with the counts there, but you see that down there as well. The Democrats thought their progress was gonna come down in the sun belt. That's a lot of red.
And at the moment, that's a lot of red, Jay.
Speaker 1: Alright, John. Still ahead, will Republicans hold on to the house, or will Democrats take it back? We're gonna get the latest on that. Plus, more on Donald Trump on the verge of victory and what comes next.
Speaker 0: Don't let John

I do not think that, as far as I know, any major news organization has declared him to be the victor, but it certainly seems that he is on his way, to that point, and, there he is giving a generally, as far as he goes, unifying and, generous speech. He invited to speak, his campaign managers.

Federal indictments against him may soon vanish, reflecting his supporters' belief in his persecution. Despite facing impeachment and multiple charges, he appears empowered, feeling he has survived the worst. Many Americans are trying to understand the election results, which they see as a rejection of the current state of the country, driven by concerns over the economy, inflation, immigration, and foreign policy. While some view this as a vote for bigotry, it's essential to recognize that many voters prioritize economic issues. Trump’s previous presidency is remembered for a better economy, influencing voter sentiment. The divide between college-educated and non-college-educated voters also plays a role in the current political landscape.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: And not to mention, the federal, indictments against him will almost surely disappear.
Speaker 1: They're gone. Absolutely. Disappear.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah. He talked about putting the last 4 years behind us. Maybe those are some of the things that'll go away. And, you know, I also wanna recognize, something that Dana White said at the UFC where he said this is karma. Just to hear that through the lens of his supporters, that they feel that between, his convictions, impeachments, etcetera, that he has been persecuted and that this was their response to that.
There's that was like a huge applause line in that room. Yeah. I mean, think about it.
Speaker 3: This is a man who has been impeached twice, a man who has, survived 2 assassination attempts. One of them very serious, 4 indictments, almost a 100 charges, and he looks like he's gonna have walked through all of it.
Speaker 0: And he's at 34 on 34 counts of convicted felon.
Speaker 3: And and well, when we'll see what happens on that conviction and what what what punishment he faces, I don't understand how a man like that couldn't feel tremendously empowered to do whatever he wants because he has got the mandate. He he the the system I don't believe it was a persecution by the system or weaponization or league, but but he certainly does. Mhmm. And it seems to me he's gonna feel they threw their they did their worst to me, and I survived it, and I thrived, and the country gave me a mandate.
Speaker 2: I think probably there are a lot of Americans out there, watching who are trying to make sense of tonight and trying to figure out why this happened. And I know that there are those who think, that this is a manifestation of ugliness, among their fellow Americans. That this is this is a vote for bigotry, and this is a vote for misogyny, or this is a vote, for racism, etcetera. And I I wanna take a moment and just reflect on the fact that if you look at the reasons why the voters who decided this election voted the way they did, it is not because of those parts of, the MAGA movement or or or Trump's, comments in the past. It's not about vindicating Trump for the the lawsuits, or the criminal charges or the impeachment.
The people who decided this election, the people in the battleground states who switched or who turned out, don't like the country as it is right now, mainly because of the 3 issues. And, like, people like it or not, Donald Trump ran an issues based campaign, whether or not his, you know, 2 hour stem winder, rally speeches covered all of it. It was mainly because of the economy and the beating the people are taking taking, at the gas pump and in grocery stores, inflation. And immigration and the fact that immigration there is a crisis at the border. There has been for several years.
The first couple years of the Biden Harris administration, they were in denial about it and acted as though anybody who asked about it was just reading right wing talking points. And then also having to do with foreign policy and the standing in the world. Now you can say you you can look at what's happening in Ukraine, and you can look at what's happening in the Middle East and all over the world and and believe that Trump had something to do with it or not believe something had Trump had something to do with it. But it is true that there are wars going on right now that were not going on during the Trump presidency. I'm not saying that correlation.
But I just I want to reassure, because I know that there are people out there who are worried that this is a statement, that this vote for Donald Trump is a statement of dislike of them. And I don't think that is what people should read into
Speaker 3: the election results. Point of which I I agree with most of what you said. The only thing I would push back on is this is a man who would get up in rallies and say, I am your retribution. This goes back to what David Axelrod said. There obviously are millions of people in this country who feel that there's an elite, an inside game that they're looked down on.
I I as Axelrod said, where the the the the party, the Democratic party approaches them almost like missionaries, like we wanna help you and make you like us. And he was in effect saying, I'm representing you against those people. I I I agree that a lot a lot of it doesn't have to do with misogyny and racism. But I do think that there's a you know, we talk about the one of the big dividing lines here is college educated people versus non college educated people. I think there is certainly a class element.
Speaker 2: I'm not dismissing that. I'm not dismissing any of that. I am saying that the people the people who either swung their votes, changed their votes, the people who decided this election. I'm not saying But there's all 85,000,000 or however many people ultimately ended up voting for Donald Trump did so for one monolithic reason. I'm just saying I think that people need to think about the economic reasons mo first and foremost.
Speaker 0: That's what I was just gonna say, is that one of the things that I think maybe the biggest thing that Donald Trump benefited from was the fact that he had been in the White House before, and the economy was better. Whether it was on him or not, the economy was better, and people remember that. And that is such a fundamental across the board for pretty much everybody who voted for him. Let's

The rally highlighted Christian Holmes' consistent messaging on immigration and the economy, despite the chaos surrounding Donald Trump. Susie Wiles, a key figure in the campaign, was notably present but chose not to speak, indicating her influence. The campaign focused on linking Kamala Harris to the current administration's issues, believing this strategy would resonate with voters. Ivanka Trump made a rare appearance, marking her first campaign trail involvement since stepping back from public life. Her presence raised questions given her absence during significant events. JD Vance and Trump referred to this moment as a remarkable political comeback, with discussions on its implications for the future.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Since we're a garden rally and all of these other moments that there are, this this underlining message where all of that did not necessarily matter, and it was still essentially Christian Holmes, what he has been arguing for for 2 years on immigration or the economy, criticized the message or not, that that is what came through. And I think the other thing that stood out from him being on that stage tonight was the power sources around him. Susie Wiles getting up there, she did not speak. She was the only person he called to to get on stage who did not say a word into the microphone.
Speaker 1: And actually adamantly shook her head that she wasn't going to speak.
Speaker 0: And is maybe one of the most powerful and influential people of this campaign that was up there on that stage tonight.
Speaker 1: Absolutely. And her name's already been floated for chief of staff. So there's a lot of people around him who believe that if she wants that job, she can have it and that she's the best person fit for it because they believe she is somebody who can keep him at least somewhat in line. Again, it's former president Donald Trump. We know that he is not somebody who can be controlled.
But for the most part, Susie Wiles has done a very good job at trying to keep him in line as much as you possibly can. And one thing I just wanna point out on on what you were saying about those issues, like immigration and crime and the economy, is that when we saw Kamala Harris ascend to the top of the ticket, there was an argument inside of the Trump campaign. They kept pushing out that it would be if Donald Trump could beat her, it would be because they would be able to link her to the current administration and the unhappiness that Americans felt particularly when it came to issues like immigration, crime, inflation. And they believe they kept pushing that message, trying to drown out all the other noise, particularly the noise comes with having Donald Trump as a candidate, somebody who's a loose cannon, somebody who says whatever, if they could drown him out with this constant messaging about the economy in particular, about crime, that they could win this election. And if that is why the American people voted, and I'm sure we're gonna pour through the exit polls and pour through the data as to why, they were right during that time.
And, obviously, we saw the enthusiasm that came with Kamala Harris' ascension. But their point during all of that was at the end of the day, if he can make the case that she is tied to the current administration, then they can make the case to win in November. And I can guarantee you, they believe and they feel very good about the fact that they stuck to that messaging. Again, Donald Trump did not always stick to the messaging, but the campaign themselves was pushing that.
Speaker 0: Whether it was the ads or what the surrogates were saying. That was something you saw constantly. It was a different campaign than what we've seen in the past. Obviously, the candidate himself was the candidate. We all were we were at the Madison Square Garden rally.
But but the campaign, there were there weren't major staff shakeups weeks before the actual race, and that was really a question of the closing message also whether that would affect it. A lot of them, even inside the campaign, began to feel that way. Obviously, today, changed their perspectives. And just looking also on that stage tonight, Ivanka Trump was there with with Jared Kushner. They were standing to the far right just off camera.
That is, I believe, her first campaign trail appearance. She did not attend the trial in Manhattan. She was not at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. We've heard from her, but she hasn't been out on the campaign trail at all.
Speaker 1: That's right. And, actually, we only saw Jared once. We saw him at Donald Trump's actual announcement about just about a year ago or 2 years ago. Gosh. Time flies.
Speaker 0: And 2 years ago? 2 years
Speaker 1: ago at Mar a Lago, but Ivanka was not there. She made that announcement shortly before Donald Trump announced that he was gonna be running, that she and Jared were gonna take a step back and take care of their family, and she has largely stayed out of light. Now after his conviction, as we talked about, she was up at Trump Tower. She never came down with him. Even when he spoke, he did she wasn't there.
She was never seen publicly with him. And there was a lot of questions about that. You know, even he brought up on the campaign trail in the last 2 days how she was there on the campaign trail with him back in 20 16 and 2020. Yeah. And she had largely disappeared.
It it was notable that she was there today. And I was speaking to somebody earlier before the Mar a Lago event who said they weren't even sure she was gonna show up to that Mar a Lago watch party. Now, obviously, everything started shifting they started seeing those numbers coming in. But it she has really taken a back seat here, and it was interesting to see her on the stage.
Speaker 0: Yeah. And, Jake, obviously, a moment there that JD Vance and Donald Trump himself summed up JD Vance calling it, as he put it, the greatest political comeback ever. And Donald Trump saying that he believed that they have are seeing the results that we're looking at now for a reason. Obviously, the question is what that means and what's to come.
Speaker 2: Caitlin, thanks so much. And, Anderson, it it is hard to think of a political comeback that is actually more significant than this one. I'm tempted to say Richard Nixon, but that really falls short, of what Donald Trump has achieved. Yeah. I mean, winning not just the the electoral, the electoral votes, but the popular vote as well.

Scott Jennings concerned how the Democrats will react to losing to a guy they framed as the 'next Hitler': Ashley Allison: 'People who voted for Kamala Harris are struggling too' Yeah, because of the policies of Kamala Harris 🤣 CNN still not getting it, despite Scott Jennings patiently trying to explain to Ashley Allison and crew like they were in Kindergarten

Speaker 0: Ashley Allison is joining us as well as Scott Jennings. I wanna hear from both of you. Ashley, obviously, this is, not the outcome, you had hoped for. What what do you think what are you looking at about what went wrong?
Speaker 1: Well, I think she wasn't able to put the coalition together. She needed to in each of the states. It was never gonna look the same, but we've always talked about this would be on the margin. So if you pull off even 1% of one of your base constituencies, which he was able to do in some in many or he was able to do in many of them, you were not gonna be able to keep that state or hold that state. And so, I've heard a lot of people talk about the conversations we need to have, and I think we do need to have conversations as a party.
But the conversation that I wanna have are for people who showed up and voted for Kamala Harris and tell them to hold their head up high. I remember in 2016 having to walk back into the White House today, and I was embarrassed to go to work because I felt like I had filled our country. You know, despair is not the time to lose hope. It is the time to dig down, to do some soul searching, and fight for a better day. Many of the communities that are most vulnerable and that are really afraid right now, the trans community, immigrants, people of color, even if there's polling or outcomes that are showing that some people of color voted for Donald Trump, you're you're worthy.
You're visible. You're not alone. And so you can feel what you feel right now, but we have to do work to protect the most vulnerable. Mhmm. And we can and we will.
And then for the people who did support Donald Trump, we've sat on this network, and people have said the things that he said about retribution and about going after his enemies. That's not what he what he really meant. So in moments when he does that, it's your responsibility to hold him accountable and not let him do that and not let him undermine the democracy because it is bigger than him. This is not his country. It is our country.
He just happened to be most likely elected to run it for 4 years.
Speaker 0: Scott, what are you looking what what do you expect the next couple months to be like once he's in?
Speaker 2: Well, look. He has a opportunity here to try to unite the country after a huge victory. This is a mandate. It's won the national popular vote, for the first time since for a Republican for the first time since 2004. This is a big deal.
This isn't backing into the office. This is a mandate to do what you said you were gonna do. Get the economy working again for regular working class Americans, fix immigration, try to get crime under control, try to reduce the chaos in the world. This this is a mandate from the American people to do that. I think I'm interpreting the results tonight as the revenge of just the regular old working class American, the anonymous American who has been crushed, insulted, condescended to, they're not garbage, they're not Nazis, they're just regular people who get up and go to work every day and are trying to make a better life for their kids, and they feel like they have been told to just shut up when they have complained about the things that are hurting them in their own lives.
I also feel like this election, as we sit here and pour over this tonight, is something of an indictment of the political information complex. I mean, we've been sitting around here for the last couple of weeks, and the story that was portrayed was not true. I mean, we were told Puerto Rico was gonna change the election. Liz Cheney, Nikki Haley voters, women lying to their husbands. Before that, it was Tim Walz and the camo hats.
Night after night after night, we were told all these things and gimmicks were gonna somehow push Harris over the line, and we were just ignoring the fundamentals. Inflation, people feeling like that they were barely able to tread water at best, that was the fundamentals of the election. And so I think that both parties should always look at the results of an election and figure out what went right and what went wrong. But I think for all of us who cover elections and talk about elections and do this on a day to day basis, we have to figure out how to understand, talk to, and listen to the half of the country that rose up tonight and said, we've had enough.
Speaker 1: I think we have to listen to everybody, actually. I think that I've been saying this whole time. I think the polls the polls did not have it right. Right? Like, the spread in some of these battleground states are a little larger than some not as close as we thought it was gonna be.
We thought we were gonna be counting. I mean, he it hasn't been called yet, but the likelihood that he gets to 270 is highly probable. The people who voted for Kamala Harris are struggling too. They're feeling ignored too. One's 1, a Republican's pain is no greater than less than a Democratic's pain.
And we have a moment now where and I'm not saying you're doing this. We can point and be like, You're the loo I told you so. Or we can do what Donald Trump said, which I'm I believe I have the right to feel skeptical of, that he wants to unify this country. Actions speak louder than words.
Speaker 2: That's the opposite of what I'm saying. And I think for Van and for you and for Axe, I mean, I've been on the losing side of tough nights here and in my professional life. It's not easy, to lose a race like this. My one of my most crushing nights was 2012. I know it was one of your best, and one of your best because we were there in the same state
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Together. And so, I understand. And, and I do think that the new president has a responsibility to make the whole country feel, like they can be part of a more optimistic future. I do think the way this campaign was run, was basically on they the the democrats thought there were enough people who hated Trump or were willing to fear him to win the race, and it turns out there's more to being president than simply not being Donald Trump in the eyes of the American people. I'm a little worried about how Democrats are gonna react.
They've been told Trump is a modern day Hitler or at least he's a fascist. And now Kamala Harris, I suspect, is gonna have to wake up in the morning and concede to that person. And then she's gonna have to go to the senate and certify the election. And I'm
Speaker 0: Which we'll still do.
Speaker 2: And Yeah. She'll do that. And and and I'm just I'm I'm a little concerned about an election in which half the country was conditioned to believe that the person who just won the national popular vote Right. Is gonna be a dictator, eliminate the constitution, and create a bloodbath, and so on and so forth. So Can
Speaker 0: I say something about that?
Speaker 2: We have I'm just we we have to we have to reckon with that in the aftermath of that argument.

CNN explaining why they haven't called a Trump victory yet is hilarious: 'Yeah Trump has 5x the margin of the last two Wisconsin victories, but we're not quite sure.' They lost in a landslide, and they're still trying to rig it 🤣 https://t.co/2AnSfHwzGu
Video Transcript AI Summary
Donald Trump is just 4 electoral votes shy of the 270 needed to win the presidency. Currently, Alaska shows Trump leading by nearly 15 points with 56% reporting, which would give him 3 electoral votes. Additionally, he is favored to win Maine's 2nd congressional district, potentially reaching the crucial 270. Key states like Michigan and Wisconsin are also leaning towards Trump, with significant leads reported. In Michigan, Trump is ahead by 324,000 votes with 83% reporting, and in Wisconsin, he leads by 108,000 votes with 96% reporting. Other battleground states, including Arizona and Nevada, show Trump with favorable margins. Despite the outstanding calls, all indicators suggest a Trump victory is imminent.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Hours but start there in terms of he's 4, 4 electoral votes away from the threshold. Right? 270 and he's the next president of the United States. He's not there yet. What's outstanding?
Why hasn't it been called yet? First off, we don't call racist, you and me. You don't get paid to do that. What we do know is what's outstanding. And you will notice everything that's in gray are races that CNN has not called yet.
Everything that's filled in has been called. And I think what's critical to know at this moment is the states that have not been called yet, that add up to 270 that are very much heading in Donald Trump's direct, direction right now. Why we say Trump is on the brink of winning the next presidency? Well, start here. This is the state of Alaska, it's not been called yet, 56% reporting.
Donald Trump almost 15 points ahead, 14 a half points ahead, 28,000 votes in the state of Alaska. That's a pretty substantial lead, feels like he's on track there. The expectation was this was a state that would go into Republican hands. So what is that? That's 3 electoral votes.
Speaker 1: That gets him to 269.
Speaker 0: So he's looking for one additional electoral vote. And I want to come over here. Maine obviously breaks its electoral votes down by congressional district. One of those congressional districts right here, Trump has been favored. The expectation in forecasting was that he would win Maine's 2nd congressional district.
Where does it stand right now? Donald Trump with a healthy, nearly 8 point lead with 61% reporting. Add that one vote to Alaska, there's your 270, and he's still leading in a number of other states as well. So what else hasn't been called here? You're thinking 2 other blue wall states, Michigan, Wisconsin, you're thinking Arizona, you're thinking Nevada.
The biggest tell of the night is the fact New Jersey has not been called yet. If you're a Democrat and I told you at 4 in the morning or near 4 in the morning, New Jersey still had not been called in your favor, particularly when back in 2020, Joe Biden won this by nearly 16 points. Has not been called yet. There's no expectation that Kamala Harris is going to lose New Jersey, but the fact that it hasn't been called yet tells you a lot. What also tells you a lot is we've been watching 7 battleground states.
Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, the blue wall, the sunbelt states, North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona, Nevada. What do you notice about all 7 of those states currently?
Speaker 1: Trump is leading in every single one or has already been called the winner in every single one.
Speaker 0: Exactly. And what's outstanding right now? Two blue wall states. We'll start with Michigan. 83 percent reporting Donald Trump up by 324,000 votes.
These were states that were decided by tens of 20,000 votes, back in 2016. Joe Biden bumped it up a little bit higher than that. That's a huge margin with 83% reporting. Flip over to Wisconsin, always the tightest of the blue wall states. Donald Trump with 96% reporting is up by a 108,000 votes.
Speaker 1: That's a very big margin in Wisconsin. Full stop.
Speaker 0: Yeah. And if you don't believe John Berman, your mistake. However, go back into 2020. Joe Biden won this by 20,000 votes. Go back into 2016, Donald Trump won this by 22,000 votes.
Where are we again in 2024? Donald Trump with 96% reporting is up by a 108,000 votes. We haven't even gotten into Arizona and Nevada yet, which are still kind of on the early side of reporting with Trump with decent leads there right now. All 7 of the battlegrounds, Georgia, North Carolina called earlier in the night looking towards either already called or heading towards Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: So that's where we are. A very good description of why we haven't officially called the race yet even though every single sign there is pointing to a Trump victory. We are on the precipice of Donald Trump perhaps being declared officially the next president.

I reflected on Kamala Harris's past statements and actions, particularly regarding Jussie Smollett's case, where she labeled it a "modern day lynching" before backtracking when the truth emerged. I noted her controversial views on immigration, claiming there was no crisis at the border, which some believe contributed to the situation worsening under Biden. Additionally, I highlighted concerns about her likability and the impact of her marriage on her appeal to Black voters. Overall, there seems to be a growing unease among Democrats about her candidacy.

I’ve been reflecting on recent discussions about noncitizen voting. CNN and MSNBC have acknowledged that noncitizens do vote in U.S. elections, with reports highlighting cases in Virginia and Arizona where noncitizens were improperly registered. A noncitizen even voted in the presidential election, raising concerns about election integrity. The Supreme Court's decision to remove noncitizens from voter rolls is seen as a win for Republicans. I also shared insights from our documentary on the history of voter fraud, illustrating that both parties have engaged in election rigging.
@EricAbbenante - Eric Abbenante
In a baffling admission, CNN admits that removing noncitizens from the voter rolls in Virginia is a 'win for the Republicans': "A court divided across partisan lines, siding with Republicans." CNN admitting what we already knew: Democrats benefit, if not rely, upon fraudulent votes from noncitizens. CNN tomorrow: 'Did you know the strippers actually don't like you, they just want your money?'
Video Transcript AI Summary
The Supreme Court has permitted Virginia to purge suspected non-citizen voter registrations, a significant decision ahead of the upcoming election. This ruling allows the state to continue its program despite previous court decisions siding with the Biden administration, which argued against removing large groups from voter rolls within 90 days of an election. However, the state can still investigate individual voters. Former President Trump and other Republicans support this move, framing it as a common-sense approach. Virginia Governor Youngkin called the ruling a victory for common sense and election fairness.

Speaker 0: Breaking news now. The Supreme Court is allowing Virginia to purge suspected non citizen voter registrations. This is a big decision from the Supreme Court just came in moments ago. I wanna go straight to CNN's Paula Reid. Paula, what can you tell us?
Speaker 1: Jim, this is incredibly significant because this is one of the court's first significant decisions ahead of next week's election. Here, they are allowing the state of Virginia to continue with a program that will purge suspected noncitizens from its voter registration roles. And this is a bit of a surprise because the trial court and the appellate court sided with the Biden administration that objected to this purge saying that the state cannot, under federal law, remove large groups of people from the voter rolls within 90 days of an election. There is is nothing stopping them from investigating individual voters and removing them from the voter rolls. Now former president Trump, has seized on this issue in Virginia as have other Republicans, as as a way that they should be able to remove suspected non citizens calling it sort of a common sense move.
And here a divided court, a court divided across partisan lines siding with Republicans. Now governor Youngkin, who's implementing or attempting to implement this program, he has issued a statement saying, quote, this is a victory for common sense and election fairness.

I've been reflecting on Stephen Colbert's evolution over the years. Colin Quinn raises an interesting point about politicians using TV for votes, questioning if that's selling out. Colbert, back in 2003, suggested that if you're at that political stage, you might feel hollow from the struggle for money. Fast forward to his conversation with Kamala Harris in 2024, where he talks about winning elections based on vibes and having a beer together. It’s striking how his earlier words resonate with my view of Harris today.
@EricAbbenante - Eric Abbenante
The downfall of Stephen Colbert needs to be studied: Colin Quinn: "Politicians are going on TV to win votes. Is this selling out?" Colbert 2003: "I don't think it's selling out, because that implies there's something left to sell." Colbert to Kamala 2024: "Elections I think are won on vibes. 'They just want somebody they can have a beer with' Would you like to have a beer with me? You asked for Miller High Life." Colbert 2003: "At this point, if you get to that stage in politics, you had to peddle your ass so hard on every street corner for money, you're essentially hollow inside." 'If you get to that stage in politics, you had to peddle your ass so hard on every street corner for money, you're essentially hollow inside.'

During the debate, Kamala Harris and the moderators tried to challenge Trump about his dealings with the Taliban. Trump delivered a memorable response, recounting a conversation with Taliban leader Abdul, emphasizing that for 18 months, there were no U.S. soldier casualties. He criticized the consequences of the withdrawal, including leaving Americans behind and abandoning military equipment. I noticed that Harris, who seemed coached to appear amused by Trump's remarks, visibly lost her composure in reaction to his strong answer.
@EricAbbenante - Eric Abbenante
Kamala Harris and the moderators attempted to gotcha Trump by mentioning his negotiations with the Taliban. Trump's response was an epic moment: "The Taliban was killing our soldiers, with snipers. Abdul, the head of the Taliban, and I told Abdul 'Don't do it anymore, if you do it anymore you're going to have problems.' He said 'Why do you send me a picture of my house?' I said 'You're going to have to figure that out Abdul' For 18 months, we didn't have anyone killed. We wouldn't have lost the soldiers, we wouldn't have left many Americans behind, and we wouldn't have left 85 billion dollars of brand new beautiful military equipment behind." Kamala Harris has been coached to act like she is amused at Donald Trump's answers to 'seem strong'. She was so upset by his powerful answer that her smug look was wiped right off of her face.
Video Transcript AI Summary
The speaker states the Taliban was killing American soldiers with snipers, so the speaker got involved with the Taliban. Abdul is the head of the Taliban, and the speaker told Abdul to stop, or there would be problems. The speaker sent Abdul a picture of his house.
For 18 months, no one was killed. Mike Pompeo negotiated a good agreement for the U.S. to withdraw without losing soldiers or leaving Americans or $85 billion in equipment behind.
The speaker claims the agreement required certain actions, but "they" didn't do them, so the agreement was terminated. The speaker believes "these people" executed the worst withdrawal, causing the most embarrassing moment in American history. The speaker believes Russia attacked Ukraine because of the perceived incompetence of "she and her boss."

Speaker 0: If you take a look at that period of time, the Taliban was killing our soldiers, a lot of them, with snipers. And I got involved with the Taliban because the Taliban was doing the killing. That's the fighting force within Afghanistan. They don't bother doing that because, you know, they deal with the wrong people all the time. But I got involved, and Abdul is the head of the Taliban.
He is still the head of the Taliban. And I told Abdul, don't do it anymore. You do it anymore. You're gonna have problems. And he said, why do you send me a picture of my house?
I said, you're going to have to figure that out, Abdul. And for 18 months, we had nobody killed. We did have an agreement negotiated by Mike Pompeo, it was a very good agreement. The reason it was good, it was we were getting out. We would have been out faster than them, but we wouldn't have lost the soldiers, we wouldn't have left many Americans behind, and we wouldn't have left we wouldn't have left $85,000,000,000 worth of brand new beautiful equipment behind.
And just to finish, they blew it. The agreement said you have to do this, this, this, this, this, and they didn't do it. They didn't do it. The agreement was terminated by us because they didn't do what they were supposed to do. I want to move on.
And these people did the worst withdrawal, and in my opinion, the most embarrassing moment in the history of our country. And by the way, that's why Russia attacked Ukraine, because they saw how incompetent she and her boss are.

Kamala Harris has faced criticism for various statements and actions. She claimed Trump's border wall would waste $5 billion, yet NYC's costs from her policies are projected to reach $12 billion. Her laughter during a question about U.S. service members killed in Afghanistan drew backlash. Harris has also been accused of lying, attempting to ban Trump from Twitter, and flip-flopping on reparations.

New York City is facing a humanitarian crisis and dealing with it almost entirely on its own. Mayor Eric Adams says the city's finances are buckling under the weight of 100,000 migrants who have been bussed to town over the last year. The city is still directly caring for more than 57,000 migrants across roughly 200 emergency shelters and is spending $9.8 million a day. The city has already spent about $1.5 billion and will spend an additional $4.7 billion in the year ahead.

I reported on how Delaware law enforcement officers expressed their frustration with Hunter Biden's lifestyle, which they felt allowed him to evade accountability. I uncovered a story from January 2021 involving a fight between Hunter and Hallie Biden over a gun he had in his truck. Despite attempts by the Secret Service to intervene, they claimed no records existed. Law enforcement seemed tired of Hunter's behavior, viewing him as someone who lived lavishly while struggling with addiction. There was a sense that the Bidens felt untouchable, further fueled by Joe Biden's actions to downplay the situation.
@EricAbbenante - Eric Abbenante
Intrepid reporting from Tara Palmeri detailing how Delaware law enforcement officers were 'fed up' with Hunter Biden's 'Tommy Boy' lifestyle allowing him to be above the law: "Back in January 2021 I got a tip about a story in which Hunter Biden got in a fight with Hallie Biden, Beau Biden's widow. She had found a gun in his truck, she took that gun and threw it out in a public trash can across from a school. I had heard from my sources that the Secret Service tried to take the firearm transaction record from the store where Hunter Biden bought the gun in Delaware. I was able to corroborate it from those sources, but the Secret Service said they don't have a record of it. There was something that I did see when I was down in Delaware talking to law enforcement, was that they were kind of fed up with Hunter Biden at that point and the Bidens in general. He was really going through the worst of his addiction in Delaware, and it was sort of being protected by a place where the Bidens had ruled over for 5 decades. They were just over Hunter. They felt like he was a Tommy Boy character that was able to get away with everything. That's where the anger over the Secret Service getting involved came through. Even his lawyers were like 'Please don't document how much money was spent on restaurants, hotels, hookers, drugs, etc.' because he was living really lavishly at the time. He was making millions of dollars. A lot of people were just annoyed with the Bidens." Joe Biden threw his son under the bus with a slap on the wrist in a feeble attempt to dispel the weaponized justice system narrative. Right before the 1st debate, what a great dad. Hunter Biden's existing issues were exacerbated by a father who used his son as a bag man to collect 10% for the big guy. The Bidens have always been riding the high of feeling above the law.

If he has the ability, smarter than he was last time, to use the power of the Department of Justice and the FBI to target his enemies, especially the rule of law in America will change in a way we haven't seen in our lifetime.

Speaker 1: Well, I think the first thing he would do is is he would express it in his first term as a wish. I want people to go after so and so. I want people to go after Andrew McCabe, the former deputy director of the FBI. In a second term, he would go a step further. I'm highly confident.
And say, I want him criminally investigated, and he would have he was close to the bottom of the barrel in his appointees last time. He'll be at the very bottom, and those are the people who carry out that order.

They're just voting specifically on racial animus. At this stage, it isn't about economic. No.

It's the it's the deficit and the border. Like, the you you make these things an issue. You make them into boogeymen. You make them into something that grabs you from under the bed at night as soon as you wake up.

Speaker 0: It's not who votes. It's who counts the votes. I care not who cast the votes of a nation, provided I can count them. As long as I count the votes, what are you going to do about it?
Speaker 1: Nobody will ever deprive the American people of the right to vote except the American people themselves. And the only way they could do that is by not voting at all.
Speaker 2: The number of men who hold power, one man, the few, or the many, for the common good of the whole community or for the self interest of the road. Democracy, which is the government of the middle class. But when democracy is government by the poor for their own interest, becomes democracy as a bad form of government. And when the rich governing in their own interest get a form of government called oligarch, the dictator governs for his own interest, not for the common good you get here. Aristotle said, governments are bad or good according as the common welfare is or is not their aim.
Bad governments that are free, tyranny, oligarchy, extreme democracy. What did Aristotle mean by extreme democracy, and how does this apply to our form? By extreme democracy, not merely the government by the poor in their own interest, but also mob rule. Lawless governed by the masses who would make children of us all. Be governed by the one best or wisest man for our own good would leave us with no voice in our own government.
No self government would We live and act as children, not as adults who are exercising our rational and political nature. What Jefferson said, we both consider the people as our children and love them with parental effects, but you love them as infants whom you are afraid to trust without mercy. And I love them as a self whom I freely lead to self govern. And when a government doesn't give the people any due process of law to order or amend the government, they can do nothing but overthrow it. These revolutions have, for the most part, been bloodless revolution.
Revolutions by legal or constitutional change. The use of due process of law carry the social, political, and economic revolution forward. And as long as we have that in the United States, there's never any need for bloody revolution. In the United States, government by the people means, in fact, that the government by 1 of the 2 major political parties. Now what can the citizen do to further the purpose of government in the service of the common good when both parties are partial to particular rather than servicing the interests of all the people.
Speaker 3: It is wrong to deny any of your fellow Americans the right to vote in this country. We must not refuse to protect the right of every American to vote in every election that he may desire to participate in. Because it's not just Negroes, but, really, it's all of us who must overcome the crippling legacy of bigotry and injustice, and we shall overcome.
Speaker 4: Democracy derives from demos, people, and Kratos rule. Democracy means the people rule directly or through elected representatives. If a select few people manipulate the vote in their favor to have their elected representatives, do we still live in a democracy?
Speaker 0: Based off of Aristotle's definition, if voter fraud is inextricably linked to American politics and affects each election, then America would be an oligarchy or tyranny posing as a democracy. The story of American political history cannot be told without voter fraud. Despite the media claiming voter fraud does not exist, they themselves have provided over 6 decades of evidence of pervasive voter fraud in America. No one has ever documented all of their evidence and told the story of American voter fraud until now. Documentaries are a search for truth, but what if the truth is that everything we've been told about democracy is a lie?
This is the American history of voter fraud. What wouldn't you do to maintain power? Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Both political parties view each other as an existential threat. Politicians can easily justify the means of voter fraud in their thirst for power.
History is written by the winners, and the victims of voter fraud are relegated to the dustbins of history. Voter fraud is acknowledged as a frequent topic in mainstream American textbooks up until the 20th century. The 18/76 election between Hayes and Tilden had an all time record of 82% turnout rate. It would have been even higher if Southern Democrats weren't intimidating and committing violence against black people, virtually all of whom happened to be Republicans at the time. Tilden was ahead by hundreds of thousands of votes on election night.
Then when 3 southern states stopped counting their votes, the Republicans disputed the election. The Republicans and Democrats compromised by allowing the Republicans to have Hayes win the election, but they would have to promise to end post civil war Reconstruction in the South. This would allow southern Democrats to terrorize blacks throughout the south for decades with their versions of voter fraud, poll taxes, Jim Crow laws, segregation, and domestic terrorism. Cooping, a voter fraud practice of violent objections to force citizens to vote for a candidate against their will permeated American life throughout 19th century. Edgar Allen Poe was believed to have died from cooping because he was found beaten to death outside of a polling location in Baltimore where cooping was common place.
Voter fraud is not committed individually but organizationally. And, evidently, this organization would benefit from the fraudulent elected official or, at worst, control that politician. Tammany Hall, a Democratic political organization, and its leader, Boss Tweed, would rig elections throughout mid to late 1800. Political machines like Tammany Hall began dominating major cities across America throughout the 20th century. Voter fraud evolved from over corruption to a large scale sophisticated organizational voter fraud in as covert a fashion as possible.
Lyndon Baines Johnson is the most famous politician that rose to prominence through documented voter fraud in the 20th century. In 1941, in a Texas senate election, LBJ ran against Lee Pappy Daniels. On election night and the next day, the media declared LBJ the winner. Suspicious votes were found days later, and Pappy was declared the winner. In 1948, when Pappy retired, LBJ wouldn't forget
Speaker 5: killed. The election was stolen. There are hearings were held on this at the time. All the witnesses are testifying the same way except Luis Salas, who was the election judge in the crucial precinct of box 13 in Jim Wells County. And then I asked him about the discrepancy between this testimony and everybody else's.
And he said, well, that's simple, Robert. I lied on the road.
Speaker 0: 6 days after the election was declared for Coke Stevenson, 202 ballots were found. 200 of them for LBJ, despite the voting list being written with the same ink and handwriting, with names in alphabetical order at the end of the list and multiple people in that list insisting they did not vote on election day, LBJ prevailed by 80 votes. In 1977, election judge Luis Salas admitted to this. This would earn LBJ the derisive nickname, landslide Lyndon. LBJ would not deny anyone the right to vote for him, even if they didn't vote in that election.
LBJ's voter fraud history makes you rethink his entire political
Speaker 6: career. But I've gotta prove that it discriminates, and I can't prove it in Texas that more niggas vote men and white folks and more of mine poll actually now and white folks. Higher percentage of them.
Speaker 5: The South was behind. That's how he became majority leader. They believed that he was on their side in civil rights. How Lyndon Johnson had done that. He persuaded us that he was on our side.
And what was his view of the role of white and black master and slave?
Speaker 0: Did LBJ pass the civil rights act out of altruism, or did he see more ballots he could stop? LBJ's fingertips of voter fraud would be found on the 1960 presidential election between Nixon and JFK, who was his running mate.
Speaker 7: From Chicago, nobody will ever know how many votes Kennedy got in the 35th Ward 62nd precinct because when they open the voting machine and looked at the little dials in the back, the one for Kennedy read o o o, some kind of mechanical failure, and the election board says there's nothing that can be done about. We're trying to settle here so far without any success. One of the closest elections in the history of the United States. One reason that it's taken so long is that California stopped counting votes. We are now haven't had any new returns from California in some time, but we're trying to make some arrangements to get some.
Kennedy, one electoral vote short of enough to win, and the states where he might get the one electoral vote are very slow in reporting their returns. 6 AM in New York. I don't know how long we'll be here. Nobody's told us yet. In Illinois, the figure certainly changed.
And now it's over 90% of the vote here in Illinois. Senator Ken Kennedy is revealing just a little bit more strength than he was a few moments ago. Accurate television job I've ever seen. Going for East. Going very well for Kennedy.
The South, surprisingly, gave Kennedy a lot of strength. Then we got to the Midwest. Some races were close. He did very well, and Chicago piled up a tremendous lead. California stopped counting its ballots.
I think that also happened in New Mexico, a couple of other crucial states out there. We're hoping that they'll start counting ballots again pretty soon. Figure has appeared on the California board. Apparently, they're counting ballots now and reporting the new figures. And Kennedy is up to his biggest lead that he's had all night.
He just needs 5 more electoral votes to go over the top. Jersey was a real surprise. This was the state the post has put down solidly. In the Democratic column, Kennedy took it by a very, very slight margin. Pennsylvania was, I think, his handsomest victory in the east.
He took that state by a 129,000 votes. He can thank the Philadelphia Democratic Organization, which gave him a 326,000 plurality in the city that is far, far greater than anyone, including Franklin v Roosevelt ever got. Delaware was a Kennedy victory by a slight margin.
Speaker 0: Texas switched from Republican back to Democratic. Mississippi provided a question mark. South Carolina went Democratic. They had felt sure it would go Republican.
Speaker 7: Michigan taken by Kennedy despite a lower than expected city Democratic vote. Illinois, still unfinished. Kennedy ahead 34,000 1,850 precincts in Illinois still out. 400 of them in Cook County, a half in Chicago, and one half in the suburb. And then our counters in Chicago have been up all night and are still up.
Missouri, big democratic sweep in that state. They'll talk about that one for a
Speaker 8: long time. And here's a late report from California. Kennedy should carry California by a margin of about 100,000 votes. New Mexico with 4 is still a toss-up, and notice it is still only 2,000 votes spread out of 230 odd 1,000. That state has been seesawing that way for several hours.
Nevada, one of Kennedy's victories in the west and one of the few of them. Kennedy spread in California is now the highest figure he has had all night. It's a 111,000 out of almost 3,000,000 votes in Alaska. They are separated by only 500 votes. Hawaii went to the Nixon column.
Speaker 7: At 7:19 AM eastern time, senator Kennedy was elected president of the United States. The NBC victory desk has just given California to Kennedy, and that gives him the elect
Speaker 0: Except Kennedy didn't win California, Nixon did. And Hawaii didn't go to Nixon, it went to Kennedy. 6 states had less than 1% margins, but the 2 most controversial states that together would have flipped the election to Nixon were Illinois and Texas because of the political machines of Richard Daley and LBJ. Richard Daley's political machine procured 2,445,000 votes in Cook County, which remains an all time record and secured a 300,000 margin in a state decided by less than 9,000 votes.
Speaker 9: And
Speaker 7: there was that national reputation born in the election of John f Kennedy that Daley was a kingmaker, the man who created president.
Speaker 10: I doubt that John f Kennedy would have won in 19 60 without mayor Daley moving in on that close Illinois election.
Speaker 0: In Fannon County, Texas, with 4,895 registered voters, had over 6,000 votes and 3 out of 4 went to Kennedy. Would you expect LBJ, a man who had to find votes to be elected to run a fair election in his state when the stakes of the presidency? One stolen election, 2 stolen presidencies. LBJ became senator and president solely from rigged elections. 100 years after Boss Tweed and Tammany Hall, LBJ and Richard Daley had all voter fraud from just major cities to corrupting election officials throughout entire counties and states.
After JFK and LBJ, the Democrats were on a quest to evolve voter fraud even further by passing universal voter registration. If democracy was ever alive, it was never decapitated, but died the death of a 1,000 cuts.
Speaker 11: Candidate Jimmy Carter told the Democratic National Convention it's time for universal voter registration. But now nearly a year later, president Carter's plan to accomplish it has run into problems. There was supposed to have been a vote in congress this week on an administration proposal to allow people to register at the polling place on election day. Local election officials, southern Democrats, Republicans, and others have come down hard on the idea, claiming that it will be impossible to administer and will encourage vote fraud among other things. Our national participation in elections has
Speaker 12: been steadily declining the last few decades. Whereas in 1960, some 63% of the electorate, those eligible voted. This last year, that dropped to 53%, and we think it's still sliding. There's a lot of apathy, alienation.
Speaker 10: Local election officials, secretaries of state county officials have come to us and said, not only is it an administrative problem, the program is wrought with fraud potential. The person can vote not in his or her district or the person could vote more than once, it makes everybody very nervous. But to force that system on the city of Chicago, which objects to it mightily, the county of LA that objects to it, city of Philadelphia that doesn't like it.
Speaker 11: What's been the experience in Minnesota under this system on fraud, congressman?
Speaker 10: We have, never looked for any, and so we haven't found any. The first election that was run under this system in 1973, we had nearly 20% of the people registering improperly. Some in the wrong precinct, some not completing registrations properly. We still have that problem. We had legislative districts where 100 of people voted for the wrong person running for the legislature.
It wasn't even running in that district. We had one local election that had to be set aside, and we had to certify a new councilman man rather than the apparent winner.
Speaker 11: Because of the registration system. Me.
Speaker 10: Because people from the wrong district wanted to vote on registration day at the place closest to their home, but it didn't happen to be their free
Speaker 12: ticket. But the fact remains that there has not been one case of fraud wherever the system's been used in Minnesota or Wisconsin.
Speaker 10: Well, the fact also remains that there haven't been any, significant fraud checks. No. No significant money spent in in looking for fraud.
Speaker 11: Could this system work in Chicago?
Speaker 13: Absolutely not. It opens the door to massive uncontrollable vote fraud. There's no way to actually separate out a vote that is cast illegally under this bill. There's no way to find a voter who illegally cast his ballot after election day to prosecute in spite of the substantial penalties of up to $10,000 in 5 years in prison. People should read the justice department's own memo which was suppressed on this thing and which finally came to light because mister Carter's justice department itself said this law would be an open door to vote fraud.
This law would really let down the drawbridge and then allow people to really corruptly mismanage our system. That the precinct captain, in order to keep his job, has to hustle votes on election day when he can actually go in there and vote and register at the same time. There is no defense. There is no way to keep the system from actually being fraudulent as a result.
Speaker 11: A recent survey showed that most election officials are opposed to election day registration.
Speaker 14: No one can be involved in elections and not be concerned with accuracy.
Speaker 12: Now there is almost no history in this country of voter fraud. There is unfortunately a history of official fraud. If you have corrupt officials bent on corrupting the the system, they're gonna be able to get away
Speaker 9: with it. You or I could go out
Speaker 12: into almost any community in this country or or series of communities and register and vote 10 to 12 times. Chances are we never get caught. The 30 day waiting period between registration and voting is usually not used to verify that the registrant is properly registered. It rather is an administrative convenience for the local election officials to predict the turnout, know how many ballots to order. We have documented there have been more than 110 convictions here and indictments.
Speaker 13: I see every day when we have an election, we have an convictions here and indictments. I see every day when we have an election, attempts to have people come in to vote fraudulently, Corrupt officials who purvey upon and who work upon individual voters to sell their franchise and to vote several times. I'm talking about people who are coerced and who are threatened into voting several times. There is a liaison there between a corrupt official and a person who is certainly been victimized out there and has to either sell his vote or by threat of being removed from some system or other have to vote.
Speaker 15: Fraud and ballot tampering is what the SCI says results when absentee ballots get into the wrong hands. And ballot mishandling is what the commission seems to have come up with in its 1st day of hearings on allegations of vote fraud in several New Jersey communities.
Speaker 16: In one case, a Democratic committee woman testified that she opened up at least one absentee ballot and changed the vote on that ballot.
Speaker 17: Did you ever have
Speaker 18: an occasion, missus Davis, to change a vote?
Speaker 19: I might have one in my district.
Speaker 20: I don't even remember why
Speaker 19: it changed the vote. It's just that it sticks into my mind.
Speaker 18: All you remember is that you changed
Speaker 9: the vote?
Speaker 19: That's what I I remember who it was for.
Speaker 16: She was talking about the 1976 Democratic primary in Hudson County. Davidson and other democratic all works claimed that they opened the ballots to ensure that they would be counted.
Speaker 19: My intent was to ensure that every vote counted. They were not thrown out by technicalities.
Speaker 15: The purpose of this whole procedure was to ensure the constitutional right of the voter.
Speaker 16: They allegedly gathered at the house of Joseph Macco at the time, North Bergen's municipal clerk and democratic chairman. Mcco, said the meetings were for campaign work and not for ballot tampering.
Speaker 17: Well, for what period of time were
Speaker 18: they using your house in a political fashion during the June primary of 1976? How many days?
Speaker 21: I would say a couple of days.
Speaker 22: What were they using it for?
Speaker 7: Distributing literature and working on the campaign. Campaign work. What
Speaker 16: is campaign work and what is vote fraud is what the commission is investigating.
Speaker 15: We've all heard the old joke that even though people have passed away, democracy is so strong in this country, their names still turn up in ballot boxes. How widespread is this practice?
Speaker 23: I think that you'll find that most absentee ballots are cast for the people in power. Sometimes they don't break according to, you know, the other results of the election. Someone can win on a machine and lose overwhelmingly in the absentee ballots. I think where people can get their hands on things like that, there's bound to be a temptation.
Speaker 15: How widespread would you say it is, though?
Speaker 9: Well, I
Speaker 23: think they've indicated it's pretty widespread.
Speaker 9: Any mention? All over
Speaker 23: the state.
Speaker 24: Well, the SCI has come up with instances, allegations involving different parts of the state. If that's any indication, it would be fairly widespread. And I think that the hearings point out the shocking looseness in handling of these ballots. Apparently, they carry them around in shopping bags. They have them in their homes.
Why did it take them so long to get it? It seems that people have known about this for a long time.
Speaker 23: A new system is needed, obviously, that will control the ballot from the time it leaves the person who is not gonna be in the state and maybe not accept any ballots from the intermediary or a new system to limit the control or limit the number of people that have access to it.
Speaker 24: The trend in recent years has been to make it easier to register, easier to vote. The Democratic majority in the legislature has been pushing an instant voter bill that would allow people to register and vote on the same day, election day.
Speaker 25: Fieldsborough mayor Edward Carnesale is out of the job. Superior court judges ruled that 51 absentee ballots that helped win the election last month are void. The judge voided the ballots because they were picked up by an unauthorized messenger. Testified at last week's state commission of investigation hearings on vote fraud. He said he helped some voters fill out their absentee ballots.
Speaker 15: A state official said today that some pending changes in the application forms for absentee ballots should help eliminate voter fraud. Secretary of state Donald Ian told a meeting of county clerks in Trenton that the revisions would require more information from absentee voters about why they can't get to the polls.
Speaker 26: The list of congressmen under a cloud for criminal or unethical conduct has become embarrassingly long. Since the 95th congress, 8 members of the house have been convicted or pleaded guilty. Sitting democrat Charles Diggs of Michigan, Frank Clark, Democrat Pennsylvania. Hugh Adonisio, Democrat New Jersey. J Herbert Burke, Republican Florida.
Richard Hanna, Democrat California. James Hastings, Republican New York, Andrew Hinshaw, Republican California, Richard Tonry, Democrat Louisiana. Four members have been reprimanded by the house. Charles Wilson, democrat California. Edward Roybal, democrat California.
John McFall, democrat California. Robert Sykes, democrat Florida. Still charged or under indictment, Daniel Flood, Democrat Pennsylvania, and Michael Myers, Democrat Pennsylvania, Henry Democrat New Jersey, and Otto Passman, Democrat Louisiana.
Speaker 11: Diggs, a Detroit Democrat, was convicted in October of fraud, But less than a month later, he was reelected by an overwhelming 81% of the vote.
Speaker 4: Official fraud is the most common type of voter fraud. It only takes a few election officials to have the ability to rig an election. Election officials and precinct captains are incentivized to pad their numbers by committing voter fraud. Election officials employ intermediaries to commit larger scale fraud. Incumbent politicians have an inherent advantage due to increased access to these officials.
The politician can corrupt the official with money, power, and ideology. This is why the Venn diagram of campaign war and voter fraud often overlap. These officials and politicians conspired to create a system where they can commit fraud and there is no way to catch them. How can you look for fraud when the system is designed to be blind to voter fraud, which is why they carry your vote in shopping bags and count them in the politician's home. If any of us had that kind of access to power, it could corrupt us all.
Absentee votes are in the most compromising position to be exposed to voter fraud, especially from corrupt officials. The vast majority of voter fraud involves absentee or early ballots. This is corroborated by a historic pattern of absentee votes not matching same day election voting trends. Election officials, mail carriers, ballot harvesters have access to tampering absentee ballots before and after the election. Even back in the seventies, it was an old joke that dead people voted.
Why would election officials and politicians be motivated to remove dead people from the voter rolls when it gives them access to more votes and keeps them in power.
Speaker 27: Following on this week's big vote fraud story, it might be said that in some parts of Louisiana, vote and vote buying has almost been a tradition.
Speaker 28: How you buy votes, but it goes on in in the rural areas. I've been told on many, many occasions throughout the state when he perishes.
Speaker 17: Let me just show you how you do it. Brown says he's going to try and control voter fraud, and he says he'll start by tightening the rules for absentee voting.
Speaker 28: We've had parishes in the state, but we've absentee voted as many as 30 percent of the population. And this has happened on many, many occasions recently. So I can't tell you that goes on in a parish like that. But when more than 2 or 3% of the parish votes absentee, it ought to alert the local officials of the fact that something is wrong and something needs to be reviewed.
Speaker 29: We have requested every clerk of court in Louisiana to stop and not clear the election results off of the voting machines. As we all know, there's been a number of complaints filed with our office about voting irregularities, even about vote line.
Speaker 17: Task force to investigate charges of voting irregularities in 17 parishes. Charges which include vote buying, rigged machines, the voting of those who didn't go to polls, and one charge in East Feliciana Parish that there were more votes recorded than voters registered on the parish books.
Speaker 30: This may turn out to
Speaker 27: be not only the most expensive gubernatorial campaign in the history of Louisiana, but also the most confusing.
Speaker 31: My deep concern that there may have been some very serious voting irregularities that occurred in last Saturday's gubernatorial election in our state. I am questioning large voting changes that occurred in many Louisiana parishes between the first unofficial voting machines verified voting machine malfunctions, recorded voting machines tampering that would affect and interfere with proper recording of vote, persons allegedly voting in 3¢ without properly signing voter registration books. Commissioners allegedly entering the voting machines and casting ballots for a candidate other than the candidate requesting by the voter. Commissioners allegedly voting for instead of the registered voter. Absentee ballots allegedly brought to the homes of voters instead of the voters casting his or her own vote at the clerk of court's office as required by law.
Absentee ballots allegedly passed out to voters in the day of election. This is a violation of the law. Voting leavers reportedly jammed with broken matchsticks causing the lever not to register. Public officials allegedly remaining all day in polling places in violation of the election laws. Some of these public officials were actual candidates themselves for reelection to public office.
All absentee ballots in Vermillion Parish were somehow lost and have never have been tabulated. All absentee ballots in East Baton Rouge Parish were not held in violent and may have been opened in violation of the law, and therefore, the said ballots cannot be verified and should be discounted. But I went from a lead of more than 23100 votes on Sunday morning when the votes were first tabulated, a deficiency of more than 24100 votes by Tuesday of the same week. Expert statisticians have advised me that it is almost mathematically impossible for that to happen under normal circumstances. I believe the election with the very will of the people of this state.
Speaker 32: 23 people fled guilty in that 4th congressional district race in a race where the vote was only 266 votes apart. That demonstrated to me that we absolutely have to have election reform in this state. The burden should not be on the candidate to approve election fraud. The state of Louisiana should ensure honest, fraud free elections in this state. Jimmy Fitzmaurice should not have that burden.
It was impossible, of course, for you to present all the evidence that might be available given the conditions of our election laws.
Speaker 4: In America, the onus to prove fraud is on the candidate, not the election system that committed the fraud. It's not sufficient to just prove fraud. The candidate must prove enough fraud to change the outcome of the election. Jimmy Fitzmaurice showcases this issue. His race was decided by 266 votes.
23 people plead guilty to voter fraud. A quarter of the counties had voting for regularities, and public election officials have polling places all election day while running for reelection. Thanks to the election system structure, proving enough fraud to change the outcome of the election was insurmountable
Speaker 9: for Jimmy Fitzmaurice.
Speaker 17: If Fitzmaurice ever had a chance at having that overturned, did he have any solid evidence there to show that there was wrongdoing?
Speaker 33: He may have had solid evidence, but because of the civil procedure rules in a civil suit like that, he wasn't able to present everything that he had because they had to be in his pleadings. And his people say that some of the things that he had that could have really showed irregularities and vote fine. They just didn't assemble enough evidence and time to get it in court.
Speaker 17: He had 5 days.
Speaker 33: 5 days.
Speaker 17: And he had
Speaker 9: to do
Speaker 34: it himself too. That's the hardest part. And I think it was really unfair to Fitzmaurice to have to put together that suit himself and go to the expense that he did. And I would think if we're talking about election reform, the source that we have to get down to in the end is money, always spending too much money? And that certainly seems to cause all the problems when you try and raise the huge amounts of money.
Speaker 12: What they spend? $20,000,000 at least? Candidates indicate they're gonna spend another $2,000,000 each in this runoff. That's, you know, 4,000,000. 24, say, $25,000,000 altogether.
That's an absurd amount of money to spend military license.
Speaker 34: Well, how do you pay back
Speaker 17: the people who who made all those
Speaker 34: contributions? Repaying these debts to governors' administration is through contract, professional don't really get any wind of can be all on the up and up.
Speaker 23: It's just the decision of where they go.
Speaker 31: Vote buying, vote fraud, harassment, intimidation, vote machine rigging are not frivolous matters. Quite frankly, I have been shocked and appalled to explain how 6 gubernatorial candidates spent in excess of $15,000,000 to be elected to an office which pays only 50,000 a year.
Speaker 17: The high cost of campaigning wasn't the only item to draw a fire from the lieutenant governor. He said that absentee voting was rife with irregularities, that voting machines were carelessly guarded and mishandled, and that voter registration and vote counting follows no uniform procedure. To solve some of the problems, Fitzmaurice recommended the establishment establishment of a fair elections commission to serve as a watchdog over the election process.
Speaker 9: He called for spending and
Speaker 17: campaign time limits, for tighter absentee balloting rules, and for a speedier
Speaker 32: official ballot count.
Speaker 31: More and more each day, gentlemen, I realized that election 79 was stolen. It is my plea to each of you that what happens to me never happens again to any candidate. The court procedure to determine the outcome has been an extreme burden to all of us.
Speaker 4: American politics are intertwined with voter fraud primarily because of the amount of money involved. Why would you need to spend $25,000,000 to get into an office that makes 50,000 a year? Buying votes, paying off election officials, commissioners, their liaisons, and handing out absentee ballots on election day all cost a lot of money. 25,000,000 was the cost of winning an election in America in the seventies, and that is why Jimmy Fitzmaurice was not the end of voter fraud, but only the beginning. The money, and therefore, the voter fraud, have increased exponentially since then.
Speaker 35: The state commission of investigation today released a list of recommendations and penalties aimed at cracking down on absentee ballot abuse. Citing recent problems in North Bergen, Fieldsborough, and Sea Isle City, the SCI came up with safeguards to prevent abuses of the messenger system. That's the method of delivering ballots of sick or disabled voters. The SCI found the possibility of fraud existing at every level of the absentee ballot law.
Speaker 15: The grand jury report was a scathing critique of the Board of Supervisors' decision to purchase the Val Tech Martel vote counting system. The investigation was prompted by numerous equipment problems during the system's debut last June. The problems were so bad that the county once again finished counting dead last in the state. The grand jury concluded that the county just didn't get its money's worth, the 1 and a half $1,000,000 it cost to buy the system. Report charges that the supervisors did poor research.
They ignored staff recommendations that the Valtech system was untried in California. The grand jury concluded that the board should have investigated Valtech's questionable performance in 2 out of the 3 states which had used it. The report also criticizes lobbyist pressure, saying that the supervisors listened to company representatives and ignored their own staffs. And just one company salesman just happened to beat an ex aide to former supervisor Ralph Diedrich. Federal authorities have disclosed that they are looking into the entire electoral process in Union City.
US attorney W Hunt Dumont says an FBI probe of absentee ballot fraud has been going on in Union City for a year. The probe includes several election investigations, among them, the May 11th race in which Union City mayor William Musto was reelected, and last year's school board election in which a political ally of Musto's was subsequently indicted on mail fraud charges. Busto, who has been sentenced to 7 years in prison on a racketeering charge, and is fighting a state law forcing him to give up his mayoral post and state senate seat. There was added security surrounding absentee ballots. Allegations of tampering with these ballots have surfaced before in many parts of the state.
Speaker 17: Since the innovation of mail form registration in 1974, there have been various attempts to beat the system.
Speaker 11: There's an election in Chicago tomorrow that has everything we've come to expect in Chicago elections. Big candidates, big money, and big hate, charges of fraud and corruption, racism, and dirty tricks. But because it's Chicago, there's another fear going around, the fear that the election will be stolen by one of the candidates. An army of FBI agents and other federal officials will be on hand to make sure the voting is pure.
Speaker 15: Government has made it easy for voters to register in Minnesota, but there is some concern
Speaker 36: that it may have become too easy
Speaker 15: that opening up the system to voters also opens the system to abuse.
Speaker 37: I think the problem is we're kind of inviting fraud, but I think the opportunity is really there. Yes. We want people to vote, but also we should preserve the integrity
Speaker 20: of the process. When you see or hear about cases of fraud in election system, it's
Speaker 15: it's not the voters
Speaker 20: who walk in the door who are perpetuating that fraud. In most cases, it has been by election which
Speaker 38: was, no. He he did, which was very bad news for, Steve which was, no. He he did, which was very bad news for, Steve Forbes because if you can't even buy votes in Puerto Rico now Oregon just had an election where they were allowed to mail in the votes. They're now allowing college students to register when they register for class. They're probably stoned when they do it.
They're making it very easy to vote.
Speaker 39: One race was so close when the numbers came in, they had to conduct a recount. Using the same machines in the same ballots, the recount came up with nearly 500 new votes. To this day, nobody can explain why. Arizona uses an optical scan voting system. Ballots are filled out on paper then scanned through a machine.
Problem ballots in the Orlick race were early ballots. Though the system is designed to tally accurate counts to show the intention of voters, then I have questions about whether it works with respect to those that file early ballots.
Speaker 40: There is a small but blood curdling group of reports of voting irregularities and possible fraud, principally in Ohio and Florida. And that group of reports is moving from that end of the spectrum in which believers are also likely to be wearing hats made out of Reynolds wrap. Other end of spectrum in which the Beliebrie's are going to the general accounting office and perhaps the FBI. Ohio has other problems tonight. The state reports 92,000 presidential votes did not count.
Speaker 17: I think it's perfect. It looks great.
Speaker 40: The mainstream newspaper, The Cincinnati Enquirer, reports that officials in Warren County, Ohio blocked down their administration building last Tuesday night to prevent anybody from observing the vote count. 69% of voters registered Democrats, 24% Republicans, yet President Bush got 7,700 38 votes and senator carried just 200,180. In Holmes County, in the Panhandle, 7 Democrats for every 2 Republicans in the district. Bush beat Kerry 6410 to 1810. In Florida counties where optical scanning of paper ballots was not used, no such violent swings were reported.
Counties with heavy Democratic registration voted Democratic. Counties with heavy Republican registration voted Republican. The 6 weeks since the election, somewhere around 20% of the nation's citizens have continued to doubt the election. And much of the other 80% have dismissed those doubts largely by saying, well, how come the Democrats aren't screaming about it? Or if there's a problem, where's the FBI?
Or how come I haven't read about this in The New York Times? Our 3rd story in the countdown today, the New York Times reported that the senior Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee was asking the FBI to investigate what he called inappropriate and likely illegal election tampering in Ohio. That affidavit by Cheryl Eaton, a Democrat, contends that last Friday, in advance of the recount in Ohio, an employee of the company that made the vote counting software used in their county returned there. And according to Conyers' letter to the FBI, he modified the computer tabulator, learned which precinct was planned to be the subject of the initial test recount, and made further alterations based on that information and advised the election officials how to manipulate the machinery so that the preliminary hand recount matched the machine count.
Speaker 0: Vote machine tampering is the most famous form of voter fraud, yet most people are focused on the wrong machine. While most machines are also vulnerable to tampering, the optical scanners are intrinsically flawed. Half of voters in America vote in jurisdictions with optical scanners, and they're only used for election official convenience, not accuracy for the voters' sake. In 2004, Sequoia voting scanners were only calibrated to recognize certain ink and rejected votes without that ink, affecting an unknown amount of votes. Diebold Scanners and all other optical scanner manufacturers perform audits of their systems, but then do not release the information to the public, citing proprietary information.
That's why Arizona's recount was able to record 500 more votes using the same machines and same votes because optical scanners inconsistently recognize votes. But vote machine tampering is not limited to mere optical scanners.
Speaker 41: In 2000, I was working for Yang Enterprises, which which was a company in Oviedo, Florida. Their chief lobbyist, their corporate attorney, and speaker of the house of Florida was Tom Feeney.
Speaker 17: Tom Feeney was the general counsel and registered lobbyist for YANG Enterprises even while he was speaker of Florida House.
Speaker 41: And he wanted us to build a boat flipping software.
Speaker 17: He was asked by Tom Kuhn to create essentially a boat rigging software prototype.
Speaker 41: I meant to run a Windows platform, be touchscreen capable, would not have any additional hardware, so you didn't have to bring in a keyboard. You didn't have to sit across the street and drop. You could just sit there and punch a button, and the votes all flipped. He wanted so that in the source code, you could not see the fact that it was being flipped. Cannot hide in the source code.
Done deal. I can't do it. Nobody else can either. I built a form, gave it to missus Yang along with the sheet on how you prevent boat fraud. She said, you don't understand.
In order to get this contract, we have to hide the vote fraud in the source code. This is to flip the vote in South Florida. Which, you know, I'm thinking, are you a crook? And this is before I knew that Philly wasn't crook. You don't have to actually beat the Democrats or the Democrat area.
You just have to reduce the margin enough. So overall, it weakens it and you win that way. And he's he's just a wild man. I mean, he was willing
Speaker 24: to do anything to win.
Speaker 41: Kind of felt responsible like I wrote a blueprint for him. Not that I the only one in the world who could do that. You know, any baby programmer would know how to do that. It is super easy. It takes nothing.
It's just some hidden buttons on the screen. You hit the little hidden buttons. It gives 51% to the guy you wanna win. It gives the other 49. So it doesn't matter how you vote.
Speaker 8: The machine votes for you.
Speaker 9: Now
Speaker 41: that you've got your vote and you wanna flip it, you hit the r. Hit the s and it flips. 5149, push wins. Did my little ride up for Feeny. Of course, I had the Democrat cheating.
So Democrats, submit, flip the votes. 24 lines of code, you'll never see it.
Speaker 42: So in other words, there's absolutely no assurance whatsoever in anything with regard to these machines?
Speaker 41: Absolutely none unless you look at the source code and make sure it's safe before it comes out. We're not gonna do anything else. We're going to make the boat system, and we're gonna fix it. If you don't fix that problem, nothing else you wanna do will matter.
Speaker 43: I wanna be honest. It's not as if it's just Republicans who have monkeyed around with elections in the past. Sometimes Democrats have to. We've got to have voting rights division in justice department that is nonpartisan and that is serious about, you know, investigating cases of vote fraud.
Speaker 44: Sequoia OPIScan comes delivered to the poll station. The Sequoia ImageCast ballot marking device optical scanner. Then down here, this is normally locked. This is gonna allow to, fall into an activation scanner. We can open it up so you can see what happens while we're scanning.
Created by ballot, and now I'm gonna scan it. It would go in here, and it would scan. However, if I either missed or I had the various intentions, it's still in there. And now it didn't go in there. Let's see.
Right here, I have 1, 2, 3, 4. Hold on a sec. And I was interested in balance stuffing. It's going pretty easily too. It can take up to 10 actually go in.
But you wouldn't see all this until later, and then you wouldn't know how they got there.
Speaker 17: Battle of Chattooga County judge is in trouble again. Judge Carlton Vines has been indicted in connection with a voter fraud investigation.
Speaker 45: There were allegations of voter fraud soon after judge Vines won a seat on the bench in 2006. Sam Finster ran against him. Mister Finster was ahead until the absentee ballots came in. Now those votes made judge Vines the winner. Judge Vines was indicted on charges of possession of ballots, conspiracy to commit election fraud, and false swearing.
Judge lost the ballot box votes, but won the state court job after absentee ballots came rolling in.
Speaker 28: 20 absentee ballots had been run through the same postage meter. 19 of them in consecutive order.
Speaker 45: 20 of these, coming from all sorts of different towns, ran through one person's private postage machine.
Speaker 46: She's been a widow ever since her husband, Horace, passed away 47 years ago. Imagine her surprise then, within her mailbox, she found this voter registration form addressed to Horace and partially filled out.
Speaker 47: How did it get it? You know? It does. It doesn't seem like it's right. It should be off the records as for living at this address.
Speaker 46: Right next to her husband's form was one for her grandson, John, who's been a registered voter in Nassau County for years. The Duval County supervisor of elections office says this form didn't come from them, and here's how you can tell. See that return address?
Speaker 0: That says Tallahassee. The office
Speaker 46: in town says if it came from them, it had their address in downtown Jacksonville. Instead, it's from a group called the US Action Education Fund, which claims to be a nonprofit, a nonpartisan group. The division of elections in Tallahassee says they are aware of these groups. There's nothing they can do as it technically isn't illegal unless someone fills the form out and sends it in.
Speaker 47: Especially after those 8 years ago, when Florida had to recal, we do all
Speaker 17: that. You're a uniform? That's phone, though.
Speaker 48: In Ohio today, new rules allow one stop voting. From now until October 6th, new voters can register to vote and cast an absentee ballot at the same time. No photo ID is required. New Ohio voters have only to write down the last four digits of their Social Security number or write down their driver's license number. They can also register with a utility bill, cell phone bill, bank statement, or paycheck, even college ID.
But critics say election boards are unprepared to register and check this quantity of new voters just before an important election.
Speaker 17: They've already lost their minds. There's no way for these volunteers to check that. I mean, it's absurd.
Speaker 49: Acorn. The group has recently been investigated in a number of states for submitting false voter registration cards. The nationwide effort to commit voter registration fraud.
Speaker 43: Involvement I've had with Acorn, making Illinois implement a motor voter law that help people get registered at DMV.
Speaker 49: Turned in duplicate applications provided fake information to pad their pay.
Speaker 50: Voter registration fraud is not taken lightly. Former Acorn canvasser Tayara Williams is wearing the electronic ankle bracelet to prove it.
Speaker 51: I'm on a 2 year probation, 4 months of house arrest.
Speaker 50: 23 year old Tayra was one of 8 Acorn employees to plead guilty to fraud during the 2006 federal elections in Missouri, and she is one of the first to talk publicly from the inside about how some Acorn workers fill their registration goals.
Speaker 51: People was using the phone book. People was registering kids. People was registering out of town. People
Speaker 50: Tayara says she didn't do that, but she did fill out the registration form for others because she says Acorn their workers to work fast and gather 25 new registered voters a day.
Speaker 51: Whatever you have to do, get out here and register these people to vote. I don't care how you have to do it. Do it.
Speaker 0: The media sites voter fraud statistics on individual impersonation voter fraud, which is the least effective way to rig an election. You would need an army of 1,000,000 to win a national election. Ballot harvesting, vote buying, ballot stuffing, inaccurate voter rolls, manipulating voter registration, corrupting election officials, changing election laws, universal absentee, and mail tampering are the modern forms of voter fraud. That's without discussing tampering with the voting machines and optical scanners. Most forms of voter fraud derive from organizational voter fraud of the political machines like Tammany Hall before such technological advancements.
Obama, like LBJ, took advantage of all of the above and added new wrinkles to the voter fraud equation, DMV registration and voter registration groups committing fraud on a national scale. ACORN, a group Obama donated 800,000 for voter registration in Democratic districts, was found by a CNN investigation to have 50% fraudulent registrations, registering dead people using addresses like vacant lots or fast food restaurants, forging signatures all with the same handwriting. Acorn's registration quotas pressured employees to either commit voter fraud or lose their jobs. DMV registration allowed the fraud to be committed on even grander scale. Since California's introduction of DMV registration, 106,000 people not from this country had their date of birth changed to California or USA to make them eligible to vote.
They double registered 77,000 voters and had over a 100,000 more votes than voters in the 2020 election. LBJ would be proud. The Democrats had come a long way since finding votes in ballot box 13.
Speaker 22: One who has a few minutes access to the ABC Advantage voting machine can open it up, place the software inside with fraudulent software. And what I've done is I've prepared a fraudulent computer program, one that appears to count the votes but in fact switches votes from one candidate to another, placing one of the ROM chips in the ABC Advantage voting machine and install this fraudulent section of the program that switches votes around. The 3 white labeled chips are the ROMs. I think chips. It's a real ROM chip containing a fraudulent computer program that I've previously prepared.
In every future election run on this machine, fraudulent software will be installed. Check the machine to load this new ballot definition, turned on voting machine, ready to open calls. It doesn't recognize in any way that fraudulent software has been installed. The fraudulent firmware that I installed has taken care to make all tour of the records agree with each other and disagree with the votes that were actually cast. The records don't serve as a useful check against each other.
They're not independent. They were all generated by the same fraudulent computer program. This fraudulent computer program took care to make them agree with each other. While this results cartridge is in transit between the voting machine and the clerk's office where the totals are accumulated, it's vulnerable to tampering, responding to the flood of the result cartridge. Now, just by putting this computer that's inside the cigarette pack into the results cartridge for just a second or 2, that's sufficient time for the computer to read all the vote totals and decide how much it wants to alter them and write back from result totals to the results cartridge.
Corrupt election worker were to do this immediately as he removes the result cartridge from the voting machine or any time as the results cartridge is in transit to the clerk's office or in the clerk's office before the results cartridge is inserted into the computer for tabulation, then the results of this machine in this cartridge would be fraudulent and those fraudulent results would be added with the results from the other precincts and make the official election to a rule.
Speaker 4: The media repeats the same tired straw man that these voting machine glitches are caused by human error when it is clearly a human, such as an election official, causing the error by committing voter fraud.
Speaker 52: A 140,000 new voter registrations in Pennsylvania, and many of them now we learn are reportedly questionable.
Speaker 9: The registrations were gathered, you won't be surprised to hear, by the group a that
Speaker 52: is the left of 15 15 count 15 states. Reportedly, registration forms there where the signatures were all in the same handwriting, street addresses were found, in fact, to be vacant lots where names were listed on the forms that appear in the same order as they do in the local phone book.
Speaker 17: Tell us who won the 2008 US senate race before we got too deep into the calendar of 2000 9. It was a nail biter on election night, ending with Norm Coleman apparently ahead by 725 votes out of 2,900,000 cast. When the final votes were recounted, the state canvassing board certified Al Franken had a 225 vote lead.
Speaker 23: We're at the Jersey City EA office. And if I get pulled to the front desk, the gentleman with the voting machines here, we're not a voting precinct. I don't care. I was told to deliver on you.
Speaker 17: What machines do you have? It's a machine.
Speaker 23: Nobody's gonna come and vote. It doesn't matter. The machines were already loaded, locked, and voted. Both tallies were there. Nobody came through.
We were in a voting location. Took the machines. I called the clerk's office. Just leave well enough alone, and I knew that I might be quiet.
Speaker 53: We were made aware of a letter that was sent out to voters in Bucks County claiming it was from the Pennsylvania voter assistance office. It looked very official and had people very concerned because it actually told them their right to vote would be jeopardized if they did not return this form. The form was an absentee ballot request, and we found numerous There were over 500 of ballots that were rejected. These are for fraudulent signatures, and in many cases, the birthdays don't match. Now when you fill out your absentee ballot, you normally know your own birthday.
I've been involved doing elections for so many years, and I always watch the absentee ballots. It's like
Speaker 15: a bellwether. You watch it then.
Speaker 53: We have never had this problem ever, and it's a disgrace that our voters have to be scared and intimidated. I feel so bad for the older women and men who are calling. County courthouse said they've gotten over 200 calls from people who think they can't vote because this letter tells them that if they don't do this now, then they're in jeopardy of being able to vote.
Speaker 54: There's substantial evidence that Pima County rigged that election. It was a fraudulent results. Problem is that they're using a computer system where it is easy to cheat. It is easy to rig an election, and there's nothing that anybody can do about it because you can never catch them within 5 days or 10 days or 2 weeks. Why the court of appeal had difficulty understanding the argument?
Because it's bizarre. Their argument is yes. They've alleged that we've cheated on a massive scale and they've alleged that we have the same system. We can do it again and never get caught. But, uh-huh, we've not alleged that there's a good faith belief that the same people with the same system and the same motive would ever cheat again.
We agree that this system is insecure. We agree that you can do anything. We agree that you will only catch stupid crimes. This is Pima County. What they said are the facts that they agree with.
And it's true. Problem is that any election can be written because it's Arizona law that you can't look at paper ballots. Never ever ever in terms of this election context. Can you count paper ballots? But you can't count the paper ballots,
Speaker 11: and there's no lie. Whatever.
Speaker 54: That says, you must be excited. And that memory card can be programmed to print false results and program it with a machine that's Pima County. We're gonna present evidence to 1 guy in Pima County. Said, yeah. I bought it.
I used the machine to get it for false results. I could get it for false results.
Speaker 55: Putting here in Minnesota. Oh my god. Wanna here and Minnesota. Oh my god. But I live here.
Right. So Are you doing those?
Speaker 41: I'm doing phone.
Speaker 9: Don't tell anyone. I want work work. Yeah. I was just Could I have
Speaker 55: a couple more forms for my friends?
Speaker 9: Yeah. You
Speaker 55: got it. So we're all kinda doing the same thing.
Speaker 4: How many do you need?
Speaker 55: A dozen, probably. I grew up some more tomorrow.
Speaker 17: Erin Haast is registered to vote in 2 states. She currently lives in Minnesota, but has just received her voter registration card in Florida, where she hasn't lived since 2003.
Speaker 9: Registered in Minnesota as Erin Haas. I received a voter registration card in Florida under my name Erin Jones.
Speaker 17: She's asked the state of Florida to remove her from the rolls four times since 2008.
Speaker 9: And every time I'm told, no problem. You won't have to make this call again.
Speaker 17: Allegations of voter registration fraud in multiple Florida counties, including Palm Beach County. Scores of Forbes came into Florida's Palm Beach County election supervisor, filled out wrong, missing information, looking like they've been signed by the same person.
Speaker 56: People falsely voting for others in Miami Dade. Robocalls in Pasco County intentionally giving Republican voters wrong information about early voting and a group fired by the GOP that allegedly submitted 100 of fraudulent registrations in Palm Beach County. Think back to the year 2000 and how the entire thing came down to just over 500 votes.
Speaker 57: Authorities have arrested the woman for allegedly voting twice. In Oregon, reports say a county clerk is under investigation for potential ballot tampering. They say the clerk is suspected of filling in the blanks that voters left empty on their ballot.
Speaker 36: Jack Poulet was the executive director of Acorn and Project Vote simultaneously. In 2008, he said we had a once in a generation opportunity. And it wasn't to elect a black president. It was to pass socialist to fundamentally change the way we were doing things, and Barack Obama was just a conduit to do it. And on that USB drive was the 2nd quarter Obama donor list from 2 1,007.
So I contacted Stephanie Straumann of the New York Times as a confidential source, and I began to give her documents and records and email. Everything she would need to show that not only was Acorn Committee massive voter registration fraud, but they also done things that would constitute prosecution under the RICO statutes. And I played that voice mail. It was Stephanie Strom telling me that her editors had told her to stand down from the story. And she had independently verified meetings between the campaign and Project Quot outside of myself.
And she told me that it was not the policy of The New York Times to print a game changer that close to the election for either side. And if you remember, they printed a story about John McCain having an affair with an anonymous source and there I was willing to come forward, be identified, and they had a list that they could prove could not have been downloaded from the Internet because it included donors that Obama had never turned over to the FEC. ABC News and Martha Radix had the story and was able to prove the validity of the list, and they would not touch it. Everyone provided cover for Obama before the election.
Speaker 0: Doing research for this film, it was striking to observe the chronological regression of journalism. In the early to mid 20th century, news was seen as a prestige builder for media networks. Adding to culture and public education was the intended focus of news media. Media networks invested so much into journalism that news was considered a lost leader. At the end of 20th and beginning of 21st centuries, all news media transitioned into seeking profit, and journalism suffered.
The sixties, seventies, and eighties were crooked as any time. But at least there were still honest reporters informing the public despite the agenda of the powerful. When media became absorbed by the profit motive, censorship followed. After the media realized stoking fear, anger, and frustration into the public was the most lucrative tactic, they began exploiting this exponentially. The media built a mob mentality that manipulates the public to instinctively shoot the messenger.
Julian Assange, Lee Mignon, Edward Snowden. And I'm sure we will be attacked for making the first film on voter fraud in America. But we will not be the 1st or the last to blow the whistle. Upton Sinclair's The Jungle exposed the meatpacking industry for unsanitary protocol. The jungle inspired awareness and outrage from the public, leading to reforms we still benefit from today.
Because when you learn how the sausage is made in politics, you realize reforms are needed.
Speaker 54: Ask him to cite the last voter fraud case in Delaware. It's been over 20 years.
Speaker 58: If you don't put any obstacles in place, you can't prove voter fraud. Philadelphia, they have some election districts where over a 100% of people vote, but they can't prove fraud except for that number. They don't require identification.
Speaker 54: There is really no voter fraud in in the state of Delaware.
Speaker 58: No proven voter fraud. I I do think that's an important distinction. Yes.
Speaker 32: I'll
Speaker 54: agree with you there.
Speaker 58: Because until you make it away so you can prove voter fraud Right. It's an easy it's an easy I don't wanna call it a crime, but it's an easy thing
Speaker 17: to commit. Questions of possible voter fraud surround the race for Tulsa's mayor. They involve Democrat Kathy Taylor. Whether Kathy Taylor violated the law by voting twice in the same election, once here in Tulsa and once in Florida. Certified records from the Tulsa County Board of Elections say she did.
Records from Broward County, Florida, where Taylor has a home, say she also voted there absentee.
Speaker 59: 2 Kansas Citians have just been convicted of voter fraud. John and Clara Mauritina pleaded guilty to illegally claiming a Kansas City address in order to vote for their nephew scales of his election.
Speaker 40: Closive words
Speaker 31: from a Hamilton County judge today when sentencing a woman for, instead of protecting the election process, cheating it.
Speaker 9: Judge Robert Rohlman sentenced Meloese Richardson to 5 years in prison for voter fraud. Richardson voted illegally 5 times, twice under her name. She also voted for her sister who has been in a coma since 2003. Voting twice is something Richardson freely admitted to. Yes.
I voted twice.
Speaker 17: Halloween is a day to remember the dead, so now is a good time to mention that there are nearly 2,000,000 dead people who are still on the voter rolls. Election officials will tell you that if someone moved in December of 2012, they probably won't learn about it until October 2016 because they don't have the tools necessary to find it. Allegations of voter registration fraud by Georgia Democrats linked to senate candidate Michelle Nunn. Fourteen counties in Georgia now voicing complaints about potential voter registration fraud ahead of the midterm elections. 28 confirmed cases of fraud, including 4 signatures or false information on 25 voter registration applications and three canvassing sheets.
Those are all felonies under Georgia law. In the crosshairs, the group, the New Georgia Project led by state representative Stacey Abrams, a close confidant of Democratic US Senate candidate Michelle Nunn. The organization's goal is to register more than a 100000 minority voters by the October 6th deadline.
Speaker 0: Voter rolls have millions of dead people loaded with duplicate registrations that cast multiple ballots. The rolls can't tell officials if voters have moved for at least 4 years. If you ask repeatedly to remove yourself from the rolls, they won't remove you. And the politicians won't purge the rolls of these errors. All of these inconsistencies are for one reason, fraud.
Why would you remove those names when you could have access to extra votes just in case you needed to find some after election day. We moved from California to Texas, and whether we like it or not, we'll be voting in California for the next 4 years.
Speaker 52: Democratic governor of Colorado signed a first of its kind new election law, a set of rules that literally allows residents to print ballots from their home computers, then encourages them to turn ballots over to collectors in what appears to be an effort to do away with traditional polling places. What could go wrong?
Speaker 17: Allegations of voter fraud in Loxahatchee Groves. According to the supervisor of elections, these allegations involve absentee ballots sent to people's homes. The problem is those people say they didn't request the ballots.
Speaker 9: I think there's a lot
Speaker 17: of voter fraud. People don't realize. Certain neighborhoods, lots people down to vote.
Speaker 13: I see every day when we have an election, attempt to have people come in to vote fraudulently.
Speaker 24: A shocking looseness in handling of these ballots. They carry them around in shopping bags. They have them in their homes.
Speaker 60: Hubbard, a candidate for Riviera Beach City Council, refuted allegations of voter fraud. The incumbent in the race, Bruce Guyton, says 3 of Hubbard's relatives voted in the city election without actually living in Riviera Beach. The 2 candidates are headed for a runoff in May because the race resulted in a tie during a recount.
Speaker 61: I would not waste my time, the court time, or miss Hubbard time if I didn't have evidence that I thought would prove the fact that they do not live there.
Speaker 62: And they don't sleep there every night. No. Because they're out and about, if you will. But they live there for for all practical purposes.
Speaker 15: She don't have nothing.
Speaker 17: No ID? Fill out the backside.
Speaker 41: You still can vote. Oh, she's on the wall.
Speaker 15: I told her that. Just fill this out.
Speaker 9: I don't have any ID.
Speaker 17: Yeah. I left my ID. Yada yada yada.
Speaker 48: Well, that's good.
Speaker 9: No. No. I wasn't sure how you, like, make sure it's the right person. Okay. Yeah.
Speaker 17: That's why I just need to have my license with me.
Speaker 9: I just fill out the back.
Speaker 48: Fill out the front and do the back.
Speaker 17: So do I need
Speaker 9: And you can vote.
Speaker 55: Do I need
Speaker 17: to get
Speaker 55: an ID? No. Okay.
Speaker 9: But since
Speaker 48: you have no ID, you're filling out the back.
Speaker 9: If I
Speaker 8: have a license. How do you guys know that I am who I say
Speaker 9: I am?
Speaker 44: You're on our list.
Speaker 36: I'm very concerned that this election will be stolen from us through photo fraud.
Speaker 9: Could you
Speaker 17: have to have a photo ID to cash a check? You ought to have a photo ID to cash your ballot. 2 research report shows that 1 in 8 voter registrations are, quote, significantly inaccurate are no longer valid, suggesting further, potentially some 18,000,000 invalid voter registrations in this country. Nearly 2,000,000 dead people are still listed as voters, and they've got friends who apparently keep them company come election day.
Speaker 55: We did the exact same thing. We manipulated the vote with money and action not with law.
Speaker 56: Well, they're busting people in. We've been
Speaker 55: busting people in. The team is fucking assholes for 50 years, and we're not gonna stop now. There's gonna find a different way to do it. We need
Speaker 9: people out of
Speaker 55: the woods and we must
Speaker 17: love them. Scott Foval worked for People For the American Way, funded in large part by
Speaker 55: George Soros. Think backwards from how they would prosecute to build out the investment to avoid that.
Speaker 17: The plan that was discussed was how to bring people from one state into another state to vote illegally.
Speaker 55: They could prove each other. Seriously, there's a bus. If there are cars, much harder to prove. When you get caught by a reporter, does that matter? I can't.
No. They don't have any power to do it. In Michigan, in the east restrictive camping finance laws, the investigative arm, they have
Speaker 63: recorded for Mitt Romney. Not one. Obama received 100% of the presidential votes.
Speaker 2: What did Aristotle mean by extreme democracy? Mob rule. Lawless governed by the masses. Would leave us with no voice in our own government, no self government. Who lived and acted children, not as adults.
Speaker 43: There is no serious person out there who would suggest somehow that you could even rig America's elections. I'd advise mister Trump to stop whining.
Speaker 64: A jury on Thursday handed Ortega 8 years in prison, prosecutors argued when she registered to vote and cast ballots in several elections, she indeed knew it was against the law. Ortega claimed she never knew there was a difference in the rights of a permanent resident and a US citizen. But Ortega's future includes prison and deportation.
Speaker 65: Secretariat of state accuses the DMV of playing a part in possible voter fraud. DMV employees may have offered voter registration materials to customers who are not citizens.
Speaker 52: A Las Vegas man accused of trading voter registration forms for gift cards and cash to a woman named Tina Parks based on the total number of voters Parks registered in the Republican party.
Speaker 0: At this point, believing in American democracy is the grown up version of believing in Santa Claus. How do you think all those absentee ballots magically appear on election night? Is it the election elves hard at work?
Speaker 17: How easy is it to steal a ballot in Dallas County?
Speaker 66: A live ballot or mail ballot? Either one. Easy.
Speaker 67: Absentee ballot that was filed as a fraudulent It was brought to my attention, but
Speaker 17: it looks like my handwriting. It does. It looks like there's a good chair. Maybe. Maybe not.
I don't have a 10, so we got, like, about 700. The monitor's going down, bro. Hold up. After we got what? Monitor's going down, but we have 700.
Dallas County elections department has an excess of 700 mail in ballots that are directly linked to applications assisted by a Jose Rodriguez who are suspicious in nature.
Speaker 7: What do we do?
Speaker 17: Take the know that or or how does that work?
Speaker 67: Your husband
Speaker 17: is a collection office. He tells you when the zip code or drop it.
Speaker 67: Like, he'll say 7522 is 1.
Speaker 17: Fixing it here. Today, they're going out. He tells you that. He's not supposed to for you, but then you gotta drop a 100 or 2 or 3, whatever it is. Can't go for free.
Speaker 66: He he goes in there. He speaks to this county employee. The county employee tips him off by ZIP code, lets him know which precincts are dropping. Either stealing them from the mailbox, taking them from a little old lady who probably has them, says he's gonna assist her in a certain way for a specific candidate.
Speaker 67: Because every campaign has, like, that guy that takes care of, you know, the laundry, Rodriguez's
Speaker 17: name with Rodriguez's name and would not explain where it came from.
Speaker 67: You know, the democrats are getting tired of getting their asses handed to
Speaker 17: the Are the democrats cheating? I wouldn't say cheating. What are they doing?
Speaker 67: They're more aggressive in going after the vote.
Speaker 17: You know? And the absentee vote.
Speaker 67: It's the quickest way to put points on the board. It's an open market. Whoever gets to that voter first, when he gets his ballot in the mail, right, that's who gets that vote. 9 times out of 10, he's gonna vote for whoever the person that tells them to. This is what works on everybody.
Let me give you the stamp, the US postal stamp.
Speaker 17: And then they'll vote for whomever you suggest?
Speaker 67: I mean, 99.9% of the time, they're gonna vote whoever you suggest. Especially in poverty neighborhoods, most of the seniors don't have anybody to come visit them. We came in
Speaker 17: all the way from different parts of the country as part of our fellowship, and all of us
Speaker 0: California transitioned from 2% mail in votes to 67% in 2018, and the election elves found a gift under the voter fraud tree. The first blue sweep in Orange County since the thirties. The next 2 years, the Democrats would spread their voter fraud gifts across the nation, especially to those on the naughty list.
Speaker 68: Giving them some resources to get the right election equipment and also backup paper ballots, which I think would be very helpful for a lot of these states. 42 states haven't upgraded their election equipment in over a decade.
Speaker 44: So I pushed through Republican vote, the straight party, and immediately, a yellow check mark came up from the Democrat.
Speaker 68: I'm glad that we were able to get the 380,000,000 out to the states. 47 states now have their funding for things like backup paper ballot, but we also need to get the Secure Elections Act passed, and that require backup paper ballot of the 14 states that either have partial or don't have them at all.
Speaker 69: There was a federal election in 2006. On the Crow reservation was the polling place, and that was the last poll polling precinct in the whole nation to come in. Montana was the last state. This precinct happened to be the last one counted about 2 or 3 in the morning. That's what tipped the scales from republican controlled senate to a democratically controlled senate by electing Tester.
Luther Tester's campaign was writing $40 checks for Crow votes within 50 feet of the front door of the polling place because we have canceled checks
Speaker 28: Written by the
Speaker 69: Democratic Council Committee. Yes.
Speaker 70: To individual tribal voters Yes. The ballots that came at 2 in the morning that changed the election came from a polling precinct on the Crow reservation that was located on federal trust land where the secretary of state had no oversight, authority, or enforcement. They just had to accept the ballots that came in from that ballot box on federal trust land with no state oversight.
Speaker 69: What we're saying is the polling precincts still need to be located on the reservation Yeah. But they need to be located on property that's under the jurisdiction of the state of Montana who's in charge of running the election.
Speaker 4: Natives were the original Americans and the last to be able to vote. Utah, a state named after a native tribe, didn't give the vote to natives until 1962, 100 years after the 14th amendment and 40 years after the 19th Amendment. Instead of trading beads for Manhattan, Montana Democrats paid around a $100 per native vote. The quest for achieving manifest destiny of voter fraud was nearly complete, but the Democrats just needed an excuse to mail absentee and early ballots nationally.
Speaker 9: Hey. I'm looking for Brandy. Oh, it's Louisville. I'm they came here to pick up your ballot. Yeah.
We're offering this new service, but only to, like, people who are supporting the Democratic party. It's a service. I'm just here to pick up your ballot and show you how to do it if you don't know.
Speaker 17: State says we're connected to a vote harvesting scheme that they say was going on in Tarrant County. Prosecutors say we're requesting mail in ballots and then filling them out for the Democratic party. New documents say that Leticia Sanchez was receiving money apparently to pay the other women who went out and collected votes. Ballot applications were sent from the office of former city councilman Sal Espino.
Speaker 71: A federal judge issuing an injunction saying local election officials are no longer allowed to reject absentee ballots because the voter signatures don't match. A handful of voters who say machines automatically flip their vote.
Speaker 9: The state investigated and ruled human
Speaker 71: error is to blame. The state
Speaker 17: absentee ballot in the name of someone who died in Bucks County. Maxwell reportedly confessed to detectives and told them he routinely picks up girls in Port Richmond, bringing them home for the purpose of obtaining absentee ballot signature.
Speaker 72: The North Carolina State Elections Board has refused to certify the results of this election while they investigate whether hundreds of absentee ballots were illegally cast or destroyed, especially in 2 counties where up to 62% of absentee ballots were never returned.
Speaker 35: Last fall, the Pennsylvania state legislature passed, and the governor then signed into law the most comprehensive election law changes in 80 years. The goal of act 77, make voting easier for residents to increase turnout. But county election officials fear those changes implemented during a presidential election year could lead to delayed voting results. Everyone in Michigan is now allowed
Speaker 73: to vote with an absentee ballot. Local clerks are seeing an avalanche of new requests in 2020. The system isn't really designed to deal with that many absentee ballots, which could also have an impact on when the results are reported.
Speaker 9: The coronavirus is forcing Georgia political leaders to make some unique moves ahead of this year's primary election. Georgia Secretary of state, Brad Raffensperger, announced the state will mail absentee ballot request forms to every Georgia voter, almost 7,000,000 people. It's an effort to ensure that Georgians can vote without any fear of coming into contact with someone who has COVID 19. You request an absentee ballot, get a notification that it's in the mail. Weeks later, though, it still hasn't shown up.
It is a story we have heard over and over again. How do a bunch of ballots just disappear? State senator Dan Fine says the postal service found 3 tubs of absentee ballots from voters in Oshkosh and Appleton. Albrecht says there's been an uptick in absentee ballots missing one very important element.
Speaker 74: Witness signatures, obviously, a big issue in this election.
Speaker 9: About 750 ballots so far, he says, have been rejected for that reason.
Speaker 74: We usually don't see any
Speaker 9: Well, the idea behind this is to make voting easier and to give you more options. So if voting in person is still too risky, you'll get a ballot in the mail, and then you get to choose what to do with it. You can either fill it out or toss it and still head to the polls. Election officials in Arizona pushing for an all male election for both the August primary and
Speaker 75: the November general election. We wanna have all of the flexibility in place that we can to make sure that everybody is able to participate in the election.
Speaker 9: Now it is important to note that 4 out of 5 voters in Maricopa County already vote by mail. At 1,000,000. That's how many Pennsylvanians have applied for a mail in ballot.
Speaker 17: California became the 1st state to announce it will send mail in ballots to all registered voters for the November presidential election. Governor Gavin Newsom signed the executive order to protect public safety amid the pandemic.
Speaker 76: For the health and safety of voters and poll workers, Nevada is holding our election by mail in ballot. Each county will also have designated ballot drop off locations where you can deliver your ballot in person. Let's mail it in Nevada.
Speaker 18: Active voters aren't the only ones receiving mail in ballots.
Speaker 77: I think what the most troubling thing that that we are seeing is that inactive voters are getting mail ballots.
Speaker 18: Worries about potential voter fraud when he sees pictures being posted on his website of ballots sent to inactive voters, stacking up at apartment complexes where they once lived.
Speaker 77: Finding them in people's mailboxes. We're finding that people that are deceased are being mailed ballots to their former residents.
Speaker 30: The Wisconsin Elections Commission has agreed to send out absentee ballot applications to all Wisconsin voters. In a virtual meeting, the commission agreed to send out the forms to all 2,700,000 voters.
Speaker 17: Here's a look at Philadelphia's mobile ballot drop off van. Now this Volkswagen will meet voters in various Philadelphia neighborhoods to pick up completed ballots.
Speaker 78: Zuckerberg announcing a plan to register 4,000,000 voters ahead this coming election. West Virginia mail carrier is pleading guilty to altering mail in requests for absentee voter ballots. Thomas Cooper was charged in May after 5 mail in requests for absentee ballots had their party affiliation switched according to an affidavit. He says he did it as a joke.
Speaker 9: The federal government says it was at this polling location where ballots were stopped in the 2014, 2015, and 2016 primary election. Using some of the money candidates paid him to pay election board officials to tamper with the election results. Three primary elections in which Myers paid a judge of elections to add fraudulent votes to the judicial candidates Myers was consulting for. For decades, Myers has worked as a political consultant in South Philadelphia, helping candidates navigate the political infrastructure.
Speaker 79: We gotta be careful not to extrapolate that to some grand conspiracy theory about the entire country or the entire Commonwealth, the entire city of Philadelphia.
Speaker 21: Mail in ballots will lead to the greatest fraud. This is easy. You can forge ballots. That's like you're talking about Russia and
Speaker 55: China and
Speaker 21: other places. They'll be able to forge ballots. They'll forge them. They'll do whatever they have to do.
Speaker 0: How do candidates navigate the political system? By paying consultants to pay election officials to stop ballots.
Speaker 64: And candidates have had access
Speaker 0: to these consultants for decades. Money may not buy happiness, but it sure buys votes in America, even for minor elections. What kind of consultants do they hire for the presidential election?
Speaker 80: The transition integrity project, which met back in June and basically gained out a bunch of different scenarios of what might happen if Trump refused
Speaker 21: to concede should he lose
Speaker 9: in November. What we began
Speaker 80: to play for was to Democrats won big, 2,008,
Speaker 63: was not, of course, a census year, and so it was won big, 2,008, was not, of course, a census year. And so it was Republicans who got to do the redistricting in 2,011. It's not just the presidency or even the senate that is at stake. It is the whole state of the American political map for the next 10 years.
Speaker 35: The Wayne County Board of canvassers sounding the alarm, calling for an investigation of Detroit's city clerk's office after 72% of the city's absentee ballot counts were incorrect.
Speaker 17: A lot of concerns from both the city and the county, especially with the November election coming up, that is gonna rely heavily on mail in voting.
Speaker 64: Cannot have a recurrence of these problems in November.
Speaker 81: Joe Biden should not concede under any circumstances because I think this is gonna drag out. Eventually, I do believe he will win if we don't give an inch and if we are as focused and relentless as the other side is.
Speaker 9: We've implemented close to a 1000 drop boxes in communities throughout the state of Michigan.
Speaker 78: Record number of Michiganders are expected to vote absentee come November. During the primary, election officials determined almost half of Detroit's precincts were out of balance.
Speaker 9: Mark Zuckerberg and his wife say they are donating 3 $100,000,000 to voter integrity projects.
Speaker 52: Election officials in Mecklenburg County say a mix up caused a few hundred voters to receive 2 identical absentee ballots.
Speaker 17: Pennsylvania officials say they expect the November election to go smoothly. That's despite the theft of a laptop and flash drives from an election warehouse in Philadelphia.
Speaker 82: Governor Wolf expressed his concern about the theft of an employee's laptop and encrypted USB flash drives from an election machine warehouse in Philadelphia. This comes on the heels of the Trump campaign threatening to sue over being denied access into the newly opened satellite election offices in Philadelphia.
Speaker 43: They are not entitled to be at these satellite locations.
Speaker 0: Winning the presidency during a census year means you get to control the voter farm playing field for the next 10 years. Redistricting, state legislative seats, allocating electoral college votes are all determined by the census. If you win in a census, you're gonna be incentivized to add your state's numbers like an acorn report. The stage was set. There couldn't be more incentive to commit fraud.
During 2020, Democrats changed election laws in over 30 states to expand access to vote by mail and absentee. Large donors like George Soros and Mark Zuckerberg donated 100 of 1,000,000 to create infrastructure for mail in voting like drop boxes. Many key states changed laws to not allow poll watchers. With 2020 election laws, Tammany Hall was brought into every American's home. It's almost inspiring the way so many conspired to commit fraud.
Hillary Clinton told Joe Biden to not concede because she learned her lesson from 2016. Buy yourself more time to find votes by telling people election day will drag out and be election week. Get more voters to vote by mail than in person on election day. Do not allow observers from the other side, and loosen laws to allow mismatched signatures. Similar to Soros' color revolutions in other countries, the environment was ready for revolution, and all that was left was to pull off the greatest coup since LBJ in 1960.
Speaker 82: A ruling against the Trump campaign. A Philadelphia judge rejecting the request to have poll watchers at satellite election offices.
Speaker 83: Next week, the mobile voting unit will travel to different areas of Muskegon, giving people the chance to register to vote, request an absentee ballot, and cast it simultaneously.
Speaker 21: So get out there and vote. Send in your absentee ballot if you've requested 1. Be very careful. A lot of shenanigans going on. You see what's happening every day you're reading it.
Speaker 17: She's received 2 ballots, exact same spelling of her name, exact same address in Daly City. The University of Denver debuted the alternative voting location today. It's the first spot where the hall and the votes unit has stopped. The 18 to 24 demographic is one of our lowest turnout demographics. Rush of mail in ballots circulating across Kansas.
Nearly half a 1000000 ballots have been mailed out. That's nearly 3 times as many as back in 2016.
Speaker 78: Voters still have 2 weeks to turn in their mail in ballots. If this ballot box bursting at the seams is any indication, there will be record participation.
Speaker 17: A computer malfunction led to duplicate mail in ballots for a 108 voters in Mifflin County. Pennsylvania Supreme Court has ruled that county election boards cannot reject ballots based on whether or not the signature matches a voter's registration record.
Speaker 15: This was
Speaker 9: held in front of the Clark County election department. The group called out what they define as a lack of transparency and
Speaker 35: ballots.
Speaker 42: We have put together, I think, the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics.
Speaker 84: Alright. So election leaders say, Doug, if you have not mailed back in your absentee ballot yet, these drop boxes, they're gonna be your number one option right now. Dropping off your ballot at a drop box is the best way to make sure it is in by the deadline and counted.
Speaker 17: We have you on tape admitting to coercing voters and bribing voters with gift. This is you on video telling someone who to vote for, which is a violation of federal law and state law. You chose a republican, not a democrat. Right? And I let's go through whatever you want, but our conversation that we have is you were going straight democrat.
So now we are voting for the straight is that And and she's like, well, yeah. You know what? You're right. They're leaving for John Cornyn.
Speaker 9: I want the biggest candidate. Everybody's mad. That's a millionaire. A millionaire that's like, go do whatever you need to do. Here's all my credit cards.
I don't take advantage of him. I tell everybody, I don't work
Speaker 17: for man and I don't for god.
Speaker 9: He knows what I mean.
Speaker 17: The Supreme Court said that new deadlines for mail in ballots could take effect in North Carolina and in Pennsylvania. In Pennsylvania, ballots can arrive as late as Friday, the 6th. In North Carolina, it's Thursday, 12th.
Speaker 9: Hundreds of thousands of questionable ballots sent to LA County voters.
Speaker 17: This ballot was delivered to Carol's old apartment. Even though Carol moved 15 years ago, died almost 10 years ago. What did you think when you got 2 ballots in the mail? You could have voted twice. Right?
Speaker 23: Yes. That was my initial thought when I took
Speaker 40: the 2 ballots side by side.
Speaker 23: I'm thinking, gee. You know?
Speaker 17: Lake County, more than 277,000 questionable ballots were mailed this election year. It includes more than 48100 duplicate ballots mailed to the same person and 728 ballots mailed to people who likely have died.
Speaker 4: We have put together the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics. Standing on the shoulders of giants like LBJ and Richard Daley, Democrats altered our laws to make the election system as conducive to fraud and resistant to oversight as possible. How did they pull off the heist of Ocean's 2020? By utilizing all the voter fraud tactics discussed in this film, plus some unprecedented innovations opened up by these recently passed election laws.
Speaker 17: I work at the vote bailouts, which means we get your votes in and we separate this one, Donald j dumb Trump. That one just don't make it towards the mayor.
Speaker 35: Keenan, so far, things have been going really well. There have been a few minor issues with some of the ballot machines at 3 of the precincts we visited this morning, including this one here in Taylor after their ballot scanner stopped working. The city clerk asked Dominion Voting Systems to bring a brand new machine.
Speaker 9: County has a history of voting issues, and despite careful preparations tonight, another one causing a long delay for people processing thousands of absentee ballots. Of all the times for a plumbing issue
Speaker 17: Early this morning, we told there is was a water main break above the room I'm standing in here at State Farm Arena. No ballots or election related machine were damaged by that water main break early this morning.
Speaker 9: And Fulton County, home to Atlanta, they have stopped counting there for the night. They're gonna pick back up at 8 in the morning eastern time, and they still have 48,000 mail in ballots to go to count.
Speaker 17: The big blue wave appears to be out the window. The secretary of state in Pennsylvania over the past couple of days has changed the rules. They changed the rules when they went to the supreme court and talked about signatures. You're supposed to match signatures, and the secretary of state said, no. You don't.
She told us the United States Supreme Court that they would segregate the ballots and not count them. Last night, he said, we're gonna open them
Speaker 35: and canvass it. Some states actually
Speaker 52: allow votes to come in after election.
Speaker 21: I wanna thank the American people for their tremendous support. Millions and millions of people voted for us tonight. A very sad group of people is trying to disenfranchise that group of people, and we won't stand for it. We were winning everything,
Speaker 24: and all
Speaker 21: of a sudden, it was just called off. It's also clear that we have won Georgia. We're up by 2.5 percent or a 117,000 votes with only 7% left. They're never gonna catch us. We're up 690,000 votes in Pennsylvania.
We're winning Michigan by almost 300,000 votes. We're winning Wisconsin by a 107,000 votes with 81% of the vote. I said, what happened to the election? It's off. I've been saying this from the day I heard they were gonna send out tens of 1,000,000 of ballots because either they were gonna win or if they didn't win, they'll take us to court.
And all of a sudden, everything just stopped. This is a fraud on the American public. Frankly, we did win this election. We want all voting to stop. We don't want them to find any ballots at 4 o'clock in the morning and add them to the list.
Speaker 17: Why have they stopped counting? Because it's 2:48 in the morning. That's why they stopped counting. People get tired. When they're tired, they make mistakes.
They're still counting ballots right now.
Speaker 52: There are
Speaker 9: still more than 1,400,000 mail in ballots that have not been counted. In Philadelphia alone, they still have 270 1,000 mail in ballots to count. Officials are working through the night in many places in Pennsylvania. If they
Speaker 17: have 1,400,000 left, president's up by 673,000 votes. Joe Biden's gonna have to win ballpark 75% of these votes.
Speaker 85: Only 39% of mail in votes have been counted. That leaves about 1.5 votes left to be cast. This is a state that had 2,500,000 mail in ballots sent in. They say there's been an update, but they're not gonna actually give us that number until 9 AM. In Detroit, there's at least 92,000 mail in ballot that we still don't have.
So when are we gonna get an answer on that? Well, they're telling us probably early in the morning. This is Milwaukee. 169,000 votes that are unaccounted for mail in ballot. We aren't gonna get answers there until 4 or 5 in the morning, which I guess is, like, basically right now.
Georgia. Now Fulton County, they just stopped counting at 10:30 PM. They stopped counting their absentee ballots. They said they'd pick it up in the morning. We believe there is a minimum of 48,000 ballots there.
Speaker 17: We know that there are plenty of votes left in Milwaukee. But as I look at the numbers, I I think that's the most uphill climb for Biden at this point.
Speaker 24: This is the problem if you're
Speaker 17: on the Biden campaign. But look at the others counties where there's 15% or less Take this down. It's what's outstanding right now. You see a lot of red.
Speaker 0: In key states, voting machines were tampered. Counting stopped. Yet election officials worked through the night. Hindsight may be 2020, but 2020 was 1960 all over again.
Speaker 74: We're in a room where actually the numbers are being updated the whole time. So if you look back at the screen here, we're watching the screens as the numbers update.
Speaker 42: You see these numbers flashing up on the screen. Have you figured anything out? You've seen anything that we don't know already?
Speaker 74: You know, everything seems to be going you know what? The one thing that, was kind of confusing at one point, we saw the numbers spike for a second, and then we saw half the numbers disappear. What we're told is they do some checks and balances here. So when they were able to see some of the numbers matching up in a certain way, they were able to pull some of the numbers back based upon initial tabulation.
Speaker 17: People here in Detroit are furiously trying to get through the absentee ballots. Downstairs of this TCF center where we are in Detroit is where they are continuing to push through these ballots. They did not stop at any point overnight. Woah. Alright.
Hold on a second. No. No. No. Look.
Joe Biden just took the lead in Wisconsin. Right.
Speaker 42: We're getting new information.
Speaker 17: The vote that we were waiting for in Milwaukee County has come in. It hasn't come in in Brown and Green Bay yet. It hasn't come in, as far as I know, in Kenosha.
Speaker 9: When
Speaker 14: they were ready to shut down the precinct, they had counted all the ballots. 4 AM, 3 vehicles arrived, a van, a Chrysler 300, and a Ferrari with a 100 and 30,000 plus ballots all Biden.
Speaker 41: DCF Center.
Speaker 55: Now I just heard that
Speaker 11: a van dropped off boxes of ballots in
Speaker 55: the middle of the night, and, she was working inside the TCF that morning. There's a lead car, an escort car that comes in. You can see here each time he adds something to the people inside, and this van drives in, and they actually came in twice.
Speaker 9: Thousands of boats are in limbo because of a software issue. 60,000 plus likely higher, though we don't have exact numbers yet. DeKalb County, technology stopping election workers from finishing up its vote count late last night.
Speaker 17: There has been some issues, certainly at State Farm, also in DeKalb County, which has been a very slow go tonight. And now you've got some issues in Gwinnett County. Chaotic moments today as people tried to get into the TCF center to watch the count. They were denied access on the grounds of COVID 19 restriction.
Speaker 66: The absentee ballots. We are told that there are about 20,000 ballots still left to be counted here in the city of Detroit.
Speaker 9: One of
Speaker 17: them is Georgia where mister Trump has a narrow lead. Contributing to the delay is a huge surplus of absentee ballots due to the pandemic here in Fulton County where we are in Atlanta. A water pipe burst at the State Farm Arena yesterday, delaying results at one of the largest processing centers in the county. Fortunately, there was no damage to the absentee ballots themselves. Antrim County, which is what started with here, it's not that nobody's voted.
It's that that sometime during the count early this morning, election officials there became aware of what they think is a software problem with the count that that gave Democrats a lead in a reliably red county, so they've stopped reporting until that's resolved.
Speaker 86: I work in the Traverse City post office. We issued a directive this morning to collect any ballots we find is outgoing mail in general, separate them at the end of the day so that they could hand stamp them with the previous day's stage. They're gonna have some effort forced.
Speaker 87: This time, groups pushed to get out the vote, working the phones and offering free rides to polling station. People here woke up this morning. Donald Trump was still leading in the state of Michigan, but suddenly, Joe Biden pulled ahead after a large number of votes were reported from the city of Detroit.
Speaker 9: To look at the numbers, officials say that includes 47,553 ballots cast on election day, 195,370 6 advanced voters and 127,019 absentee ballots.
Speaker 78: Abigail Spanberger has claimed victory over the 7th congressional district again. At least 14,000 absentee votes were overlooked on election night. Those votes were not included in the county's initial absentee vote totals. On Wednesday, the tight race was in favor of Republican challenger Nick Freitas, but there were still thousands of absentee ballots not accounted for.
Speaker 58: Usual election observer may look at this right here and say,
Speaker 17: Donald Trump's lead is a 116,000 votes. Right? That seems like a big margin. The 560 was the last number we have. That's how many ballots they're still counting.
Speaker 58: And here's the problem for president Trump.
Speaker 17: Those ballots are from this area, Philadelphia, and we're talking about the early votes.
Speaker 58: This is the ratio right now.
Speaker 17: 80 to 20. Democratic areas. They're coming out of urban areas, which report a little bit later.
Speaker 88: Supervisor that they messed up yesterday. What did they mess up on? He told supervisor that they hadn't postmarked one of the ballot for the 4th instead of the 3rd.
Speaker 0: An election story as American as apple pie. One candidate leading on election night, but vote counting was stopped in the middle of the night to slow down the process. You know the rest of the story by now. They calculate how many votes are needed to win, eliminate as many opposing ballots as possible, overlooked absentees are found, and mail ins are backdated. Then the cherry on top, adding 10,000 so you don't get nicknamed Landslide Linden.
As the credits roll, the corrupt election officials lie under oath and corroborate the fraudulent numbers, sealing the victory. That is how history is written.
Speaker 21: For the first time ever, we lost 0 races in the house. We were winning in all the key locations by a lot, a couple a couple of instances, and we were able to get the observers put in. And when the observers got there, they wanted them 60, 70 feet away, 80 feet, a 100 feet away, or outside the building to observe people inside the building. Mail in voting destroyed our system. It's a corrupt system, and it makes people corrupt even if they aren't by nature, but they become corrupt.
It's too easy. They want to find out how many votes they need, and then they seem to be able to find them. They wait and wait, and then they find them. It's amazing how those mail in ballots are so one-sided too.
Speaker 89: We have to interrupt here because the president has, made a number of, false statements, including the notion that
Speaker 9: there has been fraudulent voting.
Speaker 89: There has been no evidence of that. Allegations by his campaign, but his, campaign spokespeople
Speaker 9: unable to provide any evidence.
Speaker 89: The counting of the absentee votes
Speaker 17: or mail in votes has actually gone, I think, quite smoothly.
Speaker 9: Software issue in Antrim County. It showed Biden had the majority of votes, but in reality, Trump won the county by several 1,000.
Speaker 17: A procedural misunderstanding in that part of a county worker led to those skewed numbers out of Antrim County. Put simply,
Speaker 41: it wasn't a computer glitch, but human error
Speaker 17: that caused the problem. The results from Pennsylvania's 21,000 votes has put Joe Biden into the lead.
Speaker 89: NBC News now projects that Joe Biden has won the Keystone State, Pennsylvania.
Speaker 52: We can now project that former vice president Joe Biden has been elected president.
Speaker 17: They've delivered us a clear victory, a convincing victory.
Speaker 9: Tens of thousands of people opted to vote by mail this year because of COVID 19. But the Wisconsin Elections Commission also saw a big uptick in the number of people interested and applying to be indefinitely confined, which doesn't require a voter to show proof of a photo ID. In the 2016 presidential election, only about 7% of absentee ballots were from indefinitely confined voters. But since then, a big jump. More than 160,000 voters were indefinitely confined or 14%.
In November, more than 2 15,000, about 11% of the total absentee ballots.
Speaker 0: Mail in voting destroyed our system. It makes people corrupt even if they aren't corrupt by nature. It's too easy. Politicians will always cheat. Companies will always be greedy.
And criminals will always break the law, which is why we're supposed to have police in each case to protect us from such dangers. Even an incumbent president who was the most powerful person on earth at the time was not immune to the system of voter fraud, and neither are you or I. When the elite meet in secret and plan their clandestine operations of voter fraud, smoking cigars in a shadowy room, those are the votes that matter in America. Because we are an oligarchy or tyranny posing as a democracy. Victims of voter fraud repeat throughout history like a song with a familiar chorus.
From Samuel Tilden to Coke Stephenson to Trump, they are reminded of the plea of Jimmy Fitzmaurice. The voter fraud that happened to him should never happen again to any candidate, but it continues to happen. Not only the voter fraud, but bearing the burden of demonstrating evidence against a system that is judge, jury, and executioner. Hours after election night, the media was dismissing and censoring the claims of voter fraud before the evidence was examined. Not since LBJ in 1960, there has never been such a wide chasm between one party having success down ticket and the other party winning the presidency.
How was Biden delivered a clear and convincing victory? Mostly by mail. Just like Amazon, it only took a couple of days. 3 out of 4 voters did not vote in person on election day, meaning 75% of our ballots were insecure to voter fraud. Not only did absentee voters not have to match signatures, but they also did not have to provide ID in most cases.
Wisconsin's indefinitely confined laws originally allowed only severely disabled and elderly to vote absentee fined were found online to be skiing, swimming, and running. Once the voter fraud toothpaste is out of the tube, you cannot put it back in with an audit. By the time audits can take place, the criminals have more than ample time to cover their tracks. And due to the inconsistencies of election officials and voting machines, those audits provide incongruent results, rarely matching or validating the process in any way. Without examination of the paper ballots, audits are performative Kabuki theater.
Much like democracy, without protection from voter fraud. American democracy created an optimal ecosystem to cultivate fraud, money, power, and no one to police the cheaters. There may be politicians who adapt to the adversity of voter fraud, but most politicians take advantage of the abundant voter fraud opportunities to get ahead of the politicians playing fair and square. There is no way to possibly document all of the cases of voter fraud in 2020 or all of the voter fraud cases in history. That's not the point of this film.
The point is to paint a clear picture with as much context as possible of a corrupt election environment that is incentivized to cheat, cover up, and then substantiate the cover up.
Speaker 21: Today, I will detail some of the shocking irregularities, abuses, and fraud that have been revealed in recent weeks. Using the pandemic as a pretext, democrat politicians and judges drastically changed election procedures just months and in some cases weeks before the election. Very rarely were legislature involved and constitutionally, they had to be involved. Many states such as Nevada and California sent millions of live ballots to every person on their voter rolls. Other states such as Minnesota, Michigan, and Wisconsin instituted universal absentee balloting.
Voting rolls are packed with people who are not lawfully eligible to vote, including those who are deceased, have moved out of their state, and even are noncitizens of our country. Dozens of counties in the key swing states have more registered voters on the rolls than they have voting age citizens, including 67 counties in Michigan. In Wisconsin, the state's board of elections could not confirm the residency In one In one Michigan county that used Dominion's system, they found that nearly 6,000 votes had been wrongly switched. How many didn't we catch? And they called it a glitch.
We found numerous glitches that evening. Election authorities in Texas have repeatedly blocked the deployment of Dominion system due to concerns about security, and most other states allowed anyone to get an absentee ballot and cast their vote without showing any ID. No state in the country verifies United States citizenship as a condition for voting in federal election. Many European countries have instituted major restrictions on mail in voting specifically because they recognize the nearly unlimited potential for fraud, all but to prohibit absentee ballots entirely for people who reside inside the country. In Fayette County, Pennsylvania, multiple voters received ballots that were already filled out.
In Wisconsin, there are approximately 70,000 absentee ballots that do not have matching ballot applications as the ballots did not arrive in envelopes as required. The ballots did not arrive in envelopes as required. Thousands of uncounted ballots were discovered in Floyd, Fayette, and Walton Counties weeks after the election, and these ballots were mostly from Trump voters. They weren't In Detroit, 71% of the precincts didn't balance. There were more votes than there were voters.
In Clark County, Nevada, the standards for matching a signature using the signature verification machine were intentionally lowered in order to test the process. 9 voters in Clark County cast ballots with intentionally incorrect signatures, and 8 of the 9 ballots were accepted and counted. They said you could sign your name as Santa Claus. Last week, the Clark County Commission threw out the results of a local election, reported finding, quote, discrepancies that we can't explain. Some voters were entered into a raffle for more than a dozen gift cards if they could prove they had voted.
This took place on Indian reservations. In Georgia, 0.2% of mail in ballots have been rejected compared to 6.4% in 2016. We have seen similar declines in Pennsylvania, Nevada, and Michigan. Ballots weren't rejected. A simple recount of the ballots under these circumstances only compounds the fraud.
The only way to determine whether there was an honest vote is to conduct a full review of the envelopes in the relevant states. You will find that many of them, tens of thousands, have fraudulent signatures.
Speaker 90: For October 21st, I went into work as normal. Picked up my truck, Lancaster, Pennsylvania to go to Bethpage, New York. Guess what? Today, you're gonna be bringing back mail in ballots. I don't know their New York ballots.
I don't know their Pennsylvania ballots. All I know is I'm picking up ballots in New York headed for Harrisburg. I don't think you would take mailing ballots out of one state to the other. I'm gonna need you to take this load out to Lancaster. I was like, that really doesn't make sense.
Came back the next day, my trailer, it's not there. No one knows. I didn't care who really won the election, our vote. That's the one thing of us Americans that we have.
Speaker 9: And If
Speaker 90: you're gonna start corrupting that, taking that away from us, as Americans, we deserve to know the truth. We deserve to have an honest, fair election.
Speaker 0: Elections have consequences. Stolen elections have catastrophic consequences. Discussing the American history of voter fraud is not a threat to democracy. Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. The oligarchy doesn't want you to know the American history of voter fraud precisely because they want the pattern to continue perpetually so they can maintain their power over us.
This American oligarchy that poses as a democracy treats us all like children by withholding our inalienable right of self governance. A Jeffersonian democracy treats us like adults that freely leads us to self govern. Voting rights activists push for election laws that do little to expand access to voting, but do a lot to expand access to cheating. If you want to expand the access to voting, how about making election day a national holiday? This is why we should all vote in person on election day while showing an ID.
You know, like when you buy beer. A convenience store shouldn't protect alcohol better than our election system protects our votes from fraud. Fraud will never be eliminated, but we can set up the system to make it a little harder to cheat and easier to check for fraud. Is that too much to ask of the self proclaimed greatest democracy of all time? Which brings us to January 6th.
And I'm not talking about the violence instigated by the FBI and the Capitol Police. I'm talking about the original intent of January 6th. Decertifying the states with irregularities and offering up an alternate slate of electors based off of the electoral count act of 18/87, which was the response to the disputed election of Tilden and Hayes in 18/76. The idea was to establish that the states resolve the disputes rather than Congress to mitigate the partisan response that the 2 parties would inevitably have to a rigged election or even innocent errors. The electoral count act was used for the first time in the 1960 election.
Although Nixon was declared the winner, the Hawaii Democratic Party noted tabulation errors in certain precincts. The governor, despite the inconsistencies in tabulation, had to certify because he had because he had no authority to inspect ballots or retabulate the results. This was Hawaii's first American election. Maybe the tabulation errors were genuine. On January 6, 1961, Kennedy offered up an alternate slate of Hawaiian electors, and they were unanimously chosen over the original Republican slate of electors with Kennedy ultimately prevailing in Hawaii.
This is undeniable established precedent. Kennedy was valid in his request to decertify Hawaii and so was Trump in his request to decertify. As the elites and the media gaslit you that none of this American voter fraud history existed, they were popping bottles of champagne, toasting and boasting about pulling off the crime of the century, all while waxing poetically about the American democratic process. But it's not like these elites bragged about this crime publicly, spiking the football like a 20 20 election.
Speaker 4: A weird thing happened right after the November 3rd election. Nothing. The nation was braced for chaos. Instead, an eerie quiet descended. As president Trump refused to concede, the response was not mass action, but crickets.
It was all very, very strange, Trump said on December 2nd. Within days after the election, we witnessed an orchestrated effort to anoint the winner even while many key states were still being counted. In a way, Trump was right. There was a conspiracy unfolding behind the scenes, one that both curtailed the protest and coordinated the resistance from CEOs. This is the inside story of the conspiracy to save the 2020 election.
It is the story of an unprecedented, creative, and determined campaign whose success also reveals how close the nation came to disaster. Every attempt to interfere with the proper outcome of the election was defeated. But it's massively important for the country to understand that it didn't happen accidentally. The system didn't work magically. Democracy is not self executing.
That's why the participants want the secret history of the 2020 election told even though it sounds like a paranoid fever dream. A well funded cabal of powerful people ranging across industries and ideologies working together behind the scenes to influence perceptions, change rules and laws, steer media coverage, and control the flow of information. In November 2019, Mark Zuckerberg invited 9 civil rights leaders to dinner at his home where they warned him about the danger of the election related falsehood that were already spreading unchecked. It took pushing, urging, conversations, brainstorming, all of that to get to a place where we ended up with more rigorous rules and enforcement, says Benita Gupta, who attended the dinner and also met with Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey and others. Gupta has been nominated for associate attorney general by president Biden.
I heard different claims about who should get the credit for thwarting Trump's plots. In the end, nearly half the electorate cast ballots by mail in 2020, practically a revolution in how people vote. About a quarter voted early in person, only a quarter of voters cast their ballots the traditional way, in person on election day. It's astounding how close we came, how fragile all this really is. It's like when Wile E.
Coyote runs off the cliff. If you don't look down, you don't fall. Our democracy only survives if we all believe, and don't look down. Democracy won in the end. The will of the people prevailed, but it's crazy in retrospect that this is what it took to put on an election in the United States of America.
Speaker 0: Molly Ball, Nancy Pelosi's biographer, February 4, 2021, Time Magazine. When you look down the American history of voter fraud, it's an endless cliff that could have you falling for eternity. You've looked down, seen the evidence of the American history of voter fraud. If you don't know the history of voter fraud, you might as well be born yesterday. History is written by the winners, and those winners aren't going to tell you they cheated.
They want you to believe this is what democracy looks like when this is the polar opposite of democracy. A select few selecting our leaders so that they can consolidate power by taking away ours. Democracy's power is to reside in the hands of the many, and that power is to be used for the common good. Is there any doubt that our system is designed in the self interest for our few rulers? If we exist under an oligarchy posing as a democracy, then our democracy is a theater.
We think the politicians are speaking to us genuinely. But in reality, they are reciting a script to their audience written by their masters as we thunderously applaud our freedom. Why are you sitting in the audience and they are on stage? Because you played fair and they cheated. Once in a while, one of the audience members are able to join the play and go off script, but eventually, all good actors read their lines.
Speaker 64: As the
Speaker 0: actors portrayed there on opposing sides like the Jets and the Sharps, backstage after the performance, they're all friends laughing at how well they manipulate the audience. What will it take for the theater to end and the harsh realities of genuine democracy begin for one of those actors to break the 4th wall.
Speaker 91: And the Oscar for best documentary film goes to Lila Hart and Eric Aberrante for American History of Voter Fraud.
Speaker 4: I would like to thank the academy, but we didn't need them to win this Oscar because we rigged the election.
Speaker 0: We have put together the most inclusive and extensive voter fraud organization in the history of the United States. That's why we campaigned from our basement. We mailed out ballots to everyone who saw our movie. In fact, we sent them a couple. If ballot signatures didn't match my signature, they would be discounted, and I signed a lot of ballots.
Now we count the votes at my house. Ballot harvesters went to your house, went through your mail, and collected your votes for me. On election night, we found out we were losing to Michael Moore. We ordered the counting to stop until we could figure out how many votes we were behind by. Michael Moore thought he claimed victory, but the media decried his false allegations as a threat to democracy because there was no evidence of voter fraud.
Speaker 21: It had
Speaker 0: been a whole 6 hours. He should have had all the evidence ready by now, or I'd advise mister Moore to quit whining. Hillary Clinton told me to not concede under any circumstances. As the media banned Michael from social media, they remind him that the absentee ballots are about to roll in. At the polling location, AKA my house, I draw the curtains so he can't see me dump out the mail so I can scan ballots multiple times, Ruby Freeman style.
When Michael Moore wanted to observe the vote counting, I told him there was a water vein break. Don't worry. None of the ballots or voting machines were harmed. Once I found out how many votes I needed, we began counting again. I didn't have enough ballots to catch Michael, but then the postal workers began backdating absentee ballots.
The election elves were searching for unfound votes. Why wouldn't they be? No one will ever look for fraud,
Speaker 17: so they'll never find any.
Speaker 0: By the time Michael woke up, we were the winners of the Oscar by one vote.
Speaker 4: That's why they call me Landslide Lila.
Speaker 0: Most of all, I'd like to thank our parents, who voted for us 10 times, and they weren't even aware of it. They delivered us a clear and convincing victory.
Speaker 4: Democracy won in the end. The will of the people prevailed. But it's crazy in retrospect that this is what it took to win an Oscar in the United States of America.
Speaker 35: 3 Central Floridians accused of voter fraud voting twice in the 2020 election.
Speaker 17: This crime was not uncovered by Florida election officials, an anonymous person who researches voter registration data as a hobby. You can't claim the system is working if random Internet people have to find the violations for you. 6 years and one day, that is the sentence handed down to a Black Lives Matter activist in an illegal voting case.
Speaker 84: Is that simple? I was, I went down
Speaker 17: to the probation office, told them you weren't on probation, tricked them into giving you a form so you could re register to vote when you had a court order in your hand from the judge presiding over your case. Who would be the next mayor of Osceola? Both candidates have received 382 votes, but now the indictment of Kevin Dorland suggests this town could have avoided the drama. Election misconduct in not just the last election, but in 6 others as well.
Speaker 21: The field of GOP candidates
Speaker 17: for governor was cut in half today. 5 candidates are all accused of having forged signatures on their nominating petitions, so
Speaker 21: they can't run anymore.
Speaker 92: The Gadsden Elementary School District is now looking for a new board member since former San Luis mayor, Guernmina Fuentes, had to give up her seat after pleading guilty to ballot harvesting.

Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo admits that the government had no authority to enforce mandates during the pandemic. Society acted voluntarily, leading to reduced trust in government. Leana Wen, a public health expert, is criticized for peddling misinformation and eroding trust. Jen Psaki's comment about Trump sparks controversy. Cuomo also criticizes the Biden administration's handling of the migrant crisis. Fauci's past statements on masks are highlighted.
@EricAbbenante - Eric Abbenante
Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is now comfortable telling you the truth about the government's lack of authority to enforce mandates: "Government had no capacity to enforce any of this [mandates]. You must wear a mask. People wore masks in New York. If they said 'I'm not wearing a mask' there was nothing I could do about it. You must close your private business. 'I won't'. There was nothing I could really do about it. It was really all voluntary. It was extraordinary when you think about it. That society acted with that uniformity voluntarily. Because I had no enforcement capacity. So you have a reduced trust in government." Yes, people have a tendency to distrust the government after learning they were lied to for years. Unless you're a Stockholm Syndrome Democrat.
Video Transcript AI Summary
At the start of COVID, people trusted the government's guidelines, but now that trust has decreased. Compliance with new rules would be lower. During the pandemic, people voluntarily followed guidelines like wearing masks and closing businesses, as there was no enforcement. This lack of trust in government complicates future responses to crises.
Translation:

Speaker 0: I believe if government would now say, we just, made a finding that there's a new virus and everyone should, do x, y, and z. The amount of compliance with x, y, and z would be much, much lower than it was at the beginning of COVID because people do not trust the government, especially on this issue the way they did at the beginning. And that would be a complicating factor, right? When you have people who just don't listen because government had no capacity to enforce any of this, You must wear a mask. And people wore masks in New York.
But if they said, I'm not wearing a mask, there was nothing I could do about it. You must close your private business. I won't. Well, there was nothing I could really do about it. It was really all voluntary.
And it was extraordinary when you think about it, that society acted with that uniformity voluntarily because I had no enforcement capacity. So you have a reduced trust in government.

David Reimer's story, featured on Oprah, revealed the unethical sexual reassignment experiment by John Money. Despite efforts to raise him as a girl, it was unsuccessful due to biology. Bruce, as he was originally named, showed signs of identifying as a boy. Tragically, he took his own life four years after the Oprah broadcast. This experiment, falsely reported as a success by John Money, raises questions about trust in science.
@EricAbbenante - Eric Abbenante
Oprah featured the story of David Reimer (Born Bruce Peter Reimer) who was castrated as a result of John Money's unethical sexual reassignment experiment. "They told me that if we did not disclose the fact that he had ever been a boy, and we raised him to be a girl, that there was no reason that it wouldn't be successful." The reason it wasn't successful: Biology. "I put it [a dress] on her, she started to tear it off. And I thought 'Oh my God' she knows she's a boy, and she doesn't want to wear a dress." "Brenda went to the bathroom standing up, like a boy" Bruce committed suicide 4 years after the Oprah broadcast. John Money reported this experiment as a success. Do you still trust the science?

Chaya Raichik asked how many genders there are: "There's zero genders. There's two sexes. Male and female." Based. Raichik then stuns the rabid leftists in the crowd by educating the class on the creator of 'Gender Identity' John Money: "Gender identity was made up by a pedophile named John Money. He did these horrific experiments on these twin boys. He made them do sexual stuff with each other. His experiment resulted in both of them committing suicide. But that didn't stop the radical gender ideologues from taking his failed experiment and instituting it into the mainstream, and into every single aspect of our culture." Chaya then notes that the University of Indiana - where she is speaking - has a 'John Money collection' that houses John Money's lifelong work. Raichik went into enemy territory, as they're cackling like hyenas at her, and this answer stunned them into silence. A masterclass of how to handle the woke mob.

He made them do sexual stuff on each other. You can look it up. It's absolutely grotesque. It's horrific. It's disgusting.
His his experiment resulted in both of them committing suicide. So his experiment was a total and epic fail. But that didn't stop the radical gender ideology from taking his failed experiment and instituting that into the mainstream and into every single aspect of our culture, which doesn't make any sense.

"According to John Colapinto's biography of David Reimer, starting when Reimer and his twin Brian were six years old, Money showed the brothers pornography and forced the two to rehearse sexual acts. Money would order David to get down on all fours and Brian was forced to "come up behind [him] and place his crotch against [his] buttocks". Money also forced Reimer, in another sexual position, to have his "legs spread" with Brian on top. On "at least one occasion" Money took a photograph of the two children performing these acts."

Hi @FBIIndianapolis, there’s a convicted child s*x offender who was charged with child p*rn and is now working at a bar which hosts drag shows for KIDS in South Bend, Indiana. He claims to still have urges as recently as 12 months ago. If you live in South Bend, BEWARE!! This is so creepy and terrifying.

John Money preyed upon parents who were desperate for anyone to help their children. "He explained to Ron and Janet [The Reimer parents] that their baby could be given a perfectly functional vagina - adequate for sexual intercourse and for sexual pleasure, including orgasm. He also explained to them that although their child would not, if changed into a girl, be able to bear children, she would develop psychologically as a woman and would find her erotic attraction to men." From the Reimer biography by Colapinto

In case you thought I was exaggerating… this happened in Indiana. Embedding radical gender ideology into institutions like CPS is extremely dangerous. They’re injecting it everywhere so they can use their positions of power in the gov to go after your kids. This needs to be stopped before it can cause more harm to innocent families.
