00:00:00.000 Hello, Malcolm. I'm excited to be speaking with you today because it turns out that you can mess
00:00:04.840 with elections much more easily than I thought. And I'm kind of freaking out. And everything I
00:00:09.780 thought about secure voting, just it's falling out the window. So I want to show people just
00:00:15.460 to start here, we're going to do one video. And no ID needed. I just vouch for them.
00:00:20.560 I am the ID. They do not need ID. She says you are the ID. He is the ID. I am the ID.
00:00:26.660 The vouching, yeah, I vouch for them.
00:00:30.840 Oh, great.
00:00:31.260 Is that okay?
00:00:33.000 How does that work?
00:00:34.640 Well, if you're all in the same precinct, and you are already registered, which looks like you are,
00:00:39.980 you can vouch for them as ID for them.
00:00:42.800 Oh, good.
00:00:43.420 And no ID needed.
00:00:44.480 I just vouch for them.
00:00:45.360 Well, you're the ID.
00:00:46.320 I am the ID.
00:00:47.360 That's good.
00:00:47.880 Can I bring five more from up to eight people?
00:00:52.340 That's a good thing.
00:00:53.300 we go back and we get personal and uh ernesto and uh muhammad success great success we go in
00:01:02.280 and they tell me that i can vouch for up to 80 people come back we vote they say no problem no
00:01:06.760 id needed they not registered no problem they say so that worked um and in this video what you can
00:01:13.620 see very clearly is they the election people cannot see who these people are who are voting
00:01:20.600 it could be anyone in a burka well because literally yeah like they have people wearing
00:01:24.720 burkas and one male is allowed to just vouch for as many other people as he wants to and say
00:01:31.660 it's okay no no no up to eight welcome please let's be sorry up to eight um and then in this
00:01:39.800 next clip is it okay if i'm if i'm not a u.s citizen it's okay for me to go all i know is
00:01:45.340 registered so here as long as i'm registered i can vote right perfect you have your id with you
00:01:50.140 i didn't bring it but can you last name is michelle m-a-s-h-e-l-i
00:01:59.660 and the name action yeah it's in there so i can vote today both of these non-citizens from iran

00:02:13.420 worst list last name last name h-a-r-i-t-a-s-h first name for smaller yep this is the right place 0.84
00:02:25.220 one of them is still incarcerated for felony child sex crimes so i have a felony i'm a sex
00:02:33.540 offender as long as my name is there if your name is here you come home michelle admits
00:02:39.140 into a hidden camera on primary day in Dearborn, Michigan on August 4th that he's about to vote.
00:02:46.060 Your name is Mr. Afshin. Michelle, you're right. That is correct. Are you interested in the vote?
00:02:50.800 Yeah. We're going a little bit later. Despite being a non-citizen and Michigan poll workers
00:02:56.820 on August 4th were happily prepared to hand these non-citizens voting ballots.
00:03:02.160 yeah in the next clip they demonstrate that there are people who are planning to vote
00:03:12.200 that are um felons registered sex offenders and what does he need buddy to do this what we need
00:03:23.580 to do is to add money to your account and we can do that later okay all right mommy we'll
00:03:28.320 has he done his seven lessons have you done your lessons yet that you promised to do um and is he
00:03:35.080 in the kitchen because eric and ellen are going to get there soon yes go back down to the kitchen
00:03:40.320 and wait and do your lessons but he likes mud puppy yes he does he absolutely does um
00:03:50.960 right so in the second video they also tried to see if it was possible for people who were active
00:03:57.860 felons who are sex offenders to go and vote and they confirmed that they were they even stopped
00:04:03.580 at one of the guy's houses and he's like yeah i'm gonna vote later today like no problem you know
00:04:08.680 people actively checking the names yes you can vote here oh but i'm i am a felon not a problem
00:04:13.860 you can vote here uh and and that's what a lot of the the focus of this particular citizen
00:04:19.080 journalistic action was in a very bombastic way to to shock and what state did this take place in
00:04:26.360 This all happened in Minnesota. So let me explain. Minnesota, the first thing that was being shown,
00:04:31.300 Minnesota has the same day voter registration vouching rule, which might explain why it has
00:04:36.280 come to be like it is, which allows a registered voter in the same precinct, like the same sort of
00:04:42.500 neighborhood area as dictated by the way things vote. They can legally vouch for the residents
00:04:48.340 of up to eight otherwise unregistered voters. All they need to do is sign a sworn oath that
00:04:53.880 they personally know each person lives in the precinct so in other words it's like hey i brought
00:05:00.840 a friend can they vote and they're like oh well do they live in your same precinct yeah um okay
00:05:06.480 what's your proof trust me bro and like that's supposed to work um and this is really bad in 1.00
00:05:12.500 these large immigrant communities that don't care right and i think that what we're now seeing and
00:05:17.620 the reason i wanted to focus on this as an episode is there was this period where mentioning that 0.98
00:05:23.780 election fraud might be possible in the United States or widespread was such a taboo that the
00:05:31.100 people who mentioned it were like immediately deplatformed. Yeah, we used to call it election
00:05:35.540 wobbles on YouTube because we felt like we couldn't use things like terms like voter fraud
00:05:40.320 or anything else. And now when you look at the evidence, now that the dam is finally open and
00:05:47.300 we're not seeing a strict of censorship around this, the evidence is so comically demonstrable.
00:05:53.080 Like even without any sort of proof or anything like that, anybody who is remotely sane would see a system like this and be like, that system is extremely vulnerable to exploitation.
00:06:06.220 Well, and again, it's it's telling that this is in Minnesota, the same place with the Leering Center, the same place with very serious issues around other forms of fraud.
00:06:17.680 And that's what makes me so worried about it in that, like, I've often asked myself, how has Minnesota come to be like this?
00:06:24.840 And then I see how their election rules work.
00:06:28.160 And I'm like, OK, but anyway, let's let's I actually want to shed a little bit more light on this than was shown.
00:06:34.100 It makes the fight that they have had and the Democrats have had against IDs seem, because I think when people hear the rules against IDs, they're like, yeah, but like, how bad could that really be exploited? How bad could, that's even the way I felt.
00:06:50.800 Malcolm, it's worse than that, if you would let me get into it, though. But it's important that you understand the actual process, because what he did was show up and pretend to be someone that he wasn't, which is not great. James O'Keefe pretended to be a resident in the precinct that he showed up in to film this, which is kind of not the right thing.
00:07:13.060 And a local news station actually found the person that he pretended to be and was like, that was me. And I don't know who this person is. And I didn't give him permission to pretend to be me. Because the way it works with this.
00:07:25.040 oh no now we've got to be chasing down the people finding out that they're breaking rules well i mean
00:07:30.080 in the end he was able to vote that day anyway and there wasn't a problem because they detected
00:07:33.560 the issue or whatever but anyway um and he didn't uh james o'keefe who made that video and showed up
00:07:38.940 pretending to be that guy didn't actually vote he was just trying to demonstrate that they
00:07:42.620 would allow him to so he didn't sign um any sort of attestation he didn't get other people to vote
00:07:48.660 under false pretenses but um he did kind of like it was it was skirting it but anyway um what you
00:07:54.580 have to do is that the voucher, the person that James O'Keefe was pretending to be, has to already
00:08:00.680 be registered in the precinct. This is why he had to assume the identity of someone who was actually
00:08:04.440 registered to vote in that precinct. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been like, yeah, you can do
00:08:07.960 it. They also have to at least claim that they personally know that the applicant lives in the
00:08:12.740 precinct. Then they sign an oath in front of an election judge. And the applicant also signs an
00:08:18.520 oath regarding their identity and eligibility. And then an ordinary registered voter can vouch for
00:08:24.380 only up to eight people. But again, what James O'Keefe was trying to point out was
00:08:29.120 you could bring the same person eight times wearing a burqa and have them pretend to be 0.61
00:08:36.340 different people who are not actually present in voting and you could get away with it, which is 0.72
00:08:43.620 very scary. The person who is vouched for does not need to have a photo ID. And this is another
00:08:50.120 reason why it's so easy to fake they can either provide a driver's so can you tell octavian
00:08:56.900 i think it's wonderful that he's excited about what you built though yeah but it's legit cool
00:09:04.560 anyway um they don't need a photo id they can they can provide a driver's license or id number
00:09:10.280 or they can provide the last four numbers of their social security or the last four digits
00:09:15.660 of their social security number and minnesota's secretary of state says that every voter
00:09:20.060 registration is verified against department of public safety social security administration
00:09:24.460 and other records and specifically says that election day registrants like the ones who are
00:09:29.100 being vouched for um are verified by local officials after the election and they also say
00:09:34.860 that only verified that they exist and are on the rolls but anyone could do that that's why they in
00:09:40.060 la do that thing where they troll like homeless people to get their names yeah give them cigarettes
00:09:44.860 and stuff to register to vote.
00:10:14.860 The secretary of state also says a discrepancy that's found in this process is referred to local law enforcement for investigation and possible prosecution.
00:10:39.400 The problem being that I tried to search for any example of someone being prosecuted for
00:10:45.620 submitting registrations using any sort of fictitious identity, and nobody has been prosecuted
00:10:51.280 for this. And so this could be an issue of like, the rule exists, but is it ever enforced? And
00:10:56.280 you're going to see this as a pattern with other states and other issues that makes me extremely
00:11:00.460 worried. And there are quite a few, more than I'm comfortable with other states that have
00:11:07.380 same-day registration without ID, though Minnesota is the worst of this because they will let a
00:11:14.080 pre-registered local voter sworn oath substitute for the new registrant's documentary proof of
00:11:19.960 residence, meaning that, and they also get a regular ballot. In many of these states where
00:11:24.840 it's more reasonable, like in Maine, Virginia, and Michigan, if you're doing same-day registration,
00:11:30.240 you can fill out a provisional ballot, and you can even do so without a photo ID, which is
00:11:35.780 already crazy. You can, you can provide the last four digits of your social security number only,
00:11:41.780 but then you're, you're doing a provisional ballot, which means that, um, it's a kind of
00:11:47.380 ballot in the United States where it's kind of held back until some checks are made to make sure
00:11:53.540 that, that you haven't submitted your vote through some other means. Like for example,
00:11:59.340 and this is another thing that's kind of shady for the past two elections. Malcolm and I have
00:12:03.920 for various reasons requested absentee ballots where they mail your ballot to you and then you
00:12:09.100 mail it back ahead of the election to make sure that if you can't make it to the poll that day
00:12:13.080 your vote is still counted somehow weirdly suspiciously every election cycle one of us
00:12:19.320 has been missing a provisional or sorry our uh our mail and it doesn't come in the mail like
00:12:23.260 somebody's going through our mail yeah either someone's going through our mail or they just
00:12:27.200 somehow never made it to our house and so that means that the the person who didn't get their
00:12:32.100 ballot shows up to the polling place on election day says i would like to vote and they say oh well
00:12:38.080 you're you're put down here for a mail-in ballot so you need to fill out a provisional ballot
00:12:43.100 and that only gets counted once they are sure that our mail-in ballot hasn't been sent in which is
00:12:49.800 kind of scary because if someone just stole and then faked our mail-in ballot then our provisional
00:12:55.240 ballots would be rendered null which is screwed up it's good that's another i mean i also get why
00:13:01.620 The system seems designed for fraud.
00:13:06.580 Yes, though at least what I'm trying to say is in Maine, Virginia and Michigan, at least they are filling out provisional ballots and then at least they're checked before they go.
00:13:15.500 However, in Colorado, you can vote even if you don't have a government ID or the last four numbers of your social security number.
00:13:23.540 So like you just have to check a box being like, I don't know, I don't have any of my info.
00:13:28.180 Like this is my name.
00:13:29.820 Just take it or leave it.
00:13:31.200 according to the national conferences wait you don't need an id you can just
00:13:35.320 no id no proof of residency not even the last four digits of your social security and do they
00:13:41.880 do they do they try to match you to a real person or they just take your vote
00:13:45.180 um so what they say is they developed their own electronic poll book system that's networked to
00:13:52.960 communicate with the statewide voter registration database in real time and then if they see like
00:13:58.560 your exact name having already been registered as someone who voted the number like you voted twice
00:14:04.720 but one it doesn't check for citizenship um it just checks to see if there's a duplicate
00:14:09.880 registration or double voting um and also they don't generally require every registrant to
00:14:16.400 submit documentary proof of u.s citizenship like a passport or a birth certificate so you can just
00:14:21.740 be like here i am no social security number no no license i'm gonna vote and like register and
00:14:29.780 vote today out of absolutely nowhere thank you very much um and as long as your name is not on
00:14:34.940 this is so bad it's it's kind of scary no but i i want to like what i really want to emphasize
00:14:41.860 with this is you in the right or whatever these days can be like oh my gosh like look at how crazy
00:14:47.100 what they're doing is blah blah blah you need to understand this is why things like what nick 0.99
00:14:53.000 fuentes is attempting is so dangerous stupid and self-destructive for our side when he's like oh 0.99
00:14:58.360 i'll just destroy it and have democrats make things so bad no they set things up after they're in 1.00
00:15:03.720 power so you can structurally never win again this is why you can never have a right-wing eu
00:15:09.980 or a right-wing you win or a right-wing who well this is something that's really sad we're seeing
00:15:16.320 this now with elections in Sweden where oh hold on actually give me a moment please because I just
00:15:23.500 was looking at this this morning and it was like oh my god right so um I was just reading this post
00:15:30.220 this morning by Eva Linehan on X who wrote at this point there's only a 0.4 percentage point
00:15:36.880 difference between the right and the left in Swedish parliamentary election that is a difference
00:15:41.480 of 32,000 votes in favor of the left. During the right-wing government, they handed about
00:15:46.680 approximately 200,000 citizenships, predominantly to Middle Eastern and African immigrants who
00:15:52.400 almost exclusively vote for the left. If they hadn't done that, they would have won. There is
00:15:57.340 a lesson to be learned here. And I can send you a picture of the graph if you want to see it.
00:16:02.680 But it's just, it's super clear that in states or in countries where you have heavy immigrant
00:16:11.100 populations or where it's even just possible, whether they're citizens or not, for people who
00:16:16.540 are more likely to depend on the government for payouts, which is going to be a leftist progressive
00:16:22.440 thing. Yeah. I mean, I think more broadly, what the right needs to learn is shut down immigration
00:16:28.200 waves entirely and make it very uncomfortable to be an immigrant in these countries.
00:16:32.440 Yeah. That's kind of my big takeaway from all this is that it can no longer... I mean,
00:16:37.720 And I already knew, for example, before, OK, it doesn't work to only, you know, allow in people who are like citizens who are like taxpayers and everything. 0.50
00:16:50.180 And then if you're not, then you can't become a citizen or you can be an immigrant here, but not a citizen. 0.56
00:16:54.260 Because now it's clear to me, if you are an immigrant here and you want to influence elections, it doesn't matter if you're a citizen or not, like sort of based on how everything works.
00:17:02.960 But anyway, more on same day, same day registration in Hawaii, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures, quote, to register, applicants must provide their Hawaii driver's license, state IE, or last four digits of their social security number or voter ID, which will be confirmed when received by the clerk's office.
00:17:20.560 applicant makes a sworn declaration that they have not voted and are qualified to vote again
00:17:25.580 trust me bro i'm qualified to vote any applicant providing false information may be guilty of any
00:17:30.920 class c felony pursuant to state law maybe basically if you're caught you're in trouble but
00:17:36.740 maybe if you're not caught i don't know maybe maybe vermont in generally in vermont people
00:17:42.540 can register and vote the same day of election without a photo id you have to identify yourself
00:17:47.080 and provide required documentation under the registration rules.
00:17:50.100 But a post-election audit is the only thing that's going to find something wrong.
00:17:54.020 So allegedly, if they run an audit and they find that people registered
00:17:59.820 and they're voting in more than one town,
00:18:04.000 then they would like stop that double vote.
00:18:09.180 But this is assuming that there is an audit,
00:18:12.200 and I don't think there's always an audit.
00:18:13.820 this is also assuming that the audit spot checks that particular vote that was placed twice um and
00:18:21.500 that's a lot of ifs and then it's yeah i mean well i mean when you look at all this in conjunction
00:18:26.660 with democrats fighting so hard to prevent voter id laws which is obviously just a racist policy
00:18:33.580 right like the idea that like black people can't figure out but it's not racist because they don't
00:18:36.940 really believe what they want is cheating like they want cheating right that's the only reason
00:18:43.060 you could still have this view in 2026 yeah right no and there's a there are 14 states still that
00:18:49.040 even now do not require any form of id if if you're a registered voter that includes california
00:18:55.660 dc hawaii illinois maine maryland massachusetts minnesota nevada new jersey new mexico new york
00:19:00.760 oregon pennsylvania and vermont so yes of course and you know what it is i actually felt so weird
00:19:05.140 showing up to vote in pennsylvania every time we go and i'm just like oh my name you're like my
00:19:09.880 name's simone collins and they're like okay go ahead and i'm like do you need to see my id and
00:19:12.980 they're like no and i always i have to ask every time because i'm so uncomfortable with it i'm like
00:19:17.380 this is not okay because someone could show up and say that they're simone collins what's wilder
00:19:22.040 is like remember when mondami tried to do the the uh socialized food thing and then immediately he
00:19:28.040 started wanting to ask for id and then they bent over backwards because they realized how bad that
00:19:31.920 looked that you needed an id to use his his socialized food system um and then they're like 0.99
00:19:37.280 oh shit, we can't. So they said a library card will work, right? A library card? 0.97
00:19:44.600 Why don't we have library cards for voting? Why is that more restrictive than the voting process
00:19:49.780 for president? That is really funny. I kind of feel like our process of trying to get library
00:19:54.140 cards where we live has been a little bit harder because you have to show like a utility bill.
00:20:01.020 And they're pretty strict about it. Yeah, actually. Well, people who pay for their
00:20:05.640 utilities that'd be a good start okay to get new library cards uh i'm gonna put that in our calendar
00:20:10.480 yeah oh yeah people who pay for their utility yeah honestly um what scared me i would say more
00:20:16.980 than the james o'keefe video was what i learned about citizenship and voter registration though
00:20:24.660 oh my god what i didn't know is the united states lacks any complete single database that you can
00:20:32.340 used to instantly verify someone's citizenship. Like there's no like, Malcolm Collins, is he a
00:20:39.140 citizen? Yes. No. Like that doesn't exist in our country. So it's already now very difficult for,
00:20:47.320 let's say like someone who wants to maintain election integrity to check these things,
00:20:52.900 which is very scary. And as of like at least one cited 2026 state policy summary,
00:21:00.560 five states were expected to require documentary citizenship proof from all people registering to
00:21:05.840 vote or updating their registration as of this year's midterms. Just Arizona, New Hampshire,
00:21:10.920 South Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming. Louisiana also had a requirement, but it's not yet implemented.
00:21:16.880 So those are the only states that are super duper making sure that the people who are registering
00:21:22.020 to vote are citizens. And states that don't require this would theoretically need to cross-check
00:21:28.460 against the Department of Homeland Services
00:21:31.540 systematic alien verification for entitlements
00:21:34.080 like database.
00:21:35.320 It's called SAVE for short.
00:21:37.820 And even that though, isn't that conclusive.
00:21:41.840 So if you get a non-match in this database, SAVE,
00:21:45.100 you would still have to check other things
00:21:49.080 because it can't be treated as conclusive proof.
00:21:52.120 You'd have to look, do further verification
00:21:54.160 and allow the person an ability
00:21:57.740 to like make a corrective action so there is that one database save but the first issue is i think a
00:22:04.040 lot of people don't want to use it because they're not totally sure if the results are going to be
00:22:07.500 conclusive like you'd have to just do more work and you know how it is like with any system where
00:22:12.340 there are bureaucrats they don't want to do work so anything that requires extra work they're not
00:22:17.800 going to do so if save is not a definitive database i think a lot of people just aren't
00:22:21.940 going to use it. And this is actually shown by the number of states that even have contracts
00:22:27.620 with this database to use it. So this SAVE program became more available to election officials only
00:22:35.040 in 2025, only last year. I don't know what was going on before. I didn't figure that out yet,
00:22:41.360 but the Vipartisan Policy Center reported that 22 states' election offices had the SAVE information
00:22:47.420 like they had an agreement with them, basically a data agreement with this database,
00:22:51.280 as of the end of last year and now apparently around 26 states have agreements that are either
00:22:58.360 in progress or completed so that's roughly half of the states in our country are even
00:23:04.240 set up to potentially query this database to check to see if someone might not be a citizen
00:23:10.640 this is already a complete mess okay and oh my god i just they just don't care it's set up for
00:23:19.180 cheating that's crazy even though they have agreements this doesn't mean that they are able
00:23:24.820 to to make the queries it might not be set up yet like keep in mind when we saw with doge was like a
00:23:31.000 lot of agreements were set up a lot of people were like paying for services and apis and subscriptions
00:23:36.380 that were completely not being used we don't know if the state is automatically checking every new
00:23:41.740 applicant using the system we don't know if it runs the full voter roll through the system we
00:23:46.540 don't know if it it cancels registrations based on the results that it gets so all this means is
00:23:51.660 that roughly half of the states have the ability to potentially check for something that could mean
00:23:57.640 that their citizens are not but it doesn't actually check so some states have publicly
00:24:02.360 announced they do check for citizenship so shout out to north carolina texas tennessee utah kentucky
00:24:08.560 idaho and florida they they are they all have different versions of checking um and some use
00:24:15.180 a dmv some you save some are going through existing voter rolls some are just going
00:24:20.360 through this with new voter registrants but that's not a lot of states okay i rattled those it's one
00:24:26.680 two three four five six this is not a lot and so long story short we don't really check to see if
00:24:37.640 someone is a citizen and apparently it's super complicated to see if someone's actually a
00:24:42.000 citizen in our country. They make it super complicated to enforce the law and incredibly
00:24:45.960 easy to break it. Yes. Yes. Very well put. You articulate it way better than I can. Yes. And I
00:24:52.220 think one of the other issues too is that I went through, I think it was a Brookings Institution
00:24:57.920 report on like why there are so few instances of non-citizens voting. And their sort of TLDR for
00:25:06.100 that was, well, they don't want to break the law and then get deported. But I feel like maybe one
00:25:11.640 of the bigger issues is it's really hard like how are we even going to know when non-citizens are
00:25:17.960 voting like how are they checking this stuff because it actually seems kind of hard for this
00:25:24.200 like is this actually something that's happening in i mean that's the other thing like the the big
00:25:28.360 theme of this year was like hey man we shouldn't be enforcing our immigration law yeah within many
00:25:35.640 We know that somebody should be deported because they've like raped someone. They are actively preventing the law from being enforced. Why would we not expect it to be enforced here? Like this is wild to me that you would actually believe that these people would get deported for this.
00:25:51.000 Yeah. And then we have the dead voter problem, which I didn't know about until you and I attended this one conservative conference as speakers in Las Vegas. And I had this moment in the VIP speaker room where there was free stuff that we could pick up. And one of the free things was a hat that says, when I die, don't let me vote Democrat.
00:26:11.880 and I just sat there staring at it for like several minutes and like trying to figure it out
00:26:16.460 picked it up and you'd like chuckled and I was like I do not understand what does it mean
00:26:21.240 and you were like Simone do you understand that people are taking the voter registration of dead
00:26:30.660 people and voting for them however they want and I'm like I mean you saw what Doge was able to find
00:26:37.760 in the registration for like old people like one person was like 400 years old supposedly and still 0.52
00:26:42.740 collecting uh insurance right like it's like the dark version of blue zones um you know there's
00:26:49.140 crazy things like just cursory examination of social security and we've got people in there
00:26:54.220 that 150 years old even kennedy bragged about doing this in a famous joke really he said oh
00:27:01.320 i won because of x cemetery oh that's cute that's cute i mean now yeah now when i see the hat
00:27:07.660 because we did take one um I uh I chuckle I actually I saved that hat in our Halloween box
00:27:15.280 and I was like oh we should like have a Republican Halloween costume and so I have it with like
00:27:21.100 remember when we bought that shotgun hunting costume set like the shotgun came with like a
00:27:26.080 little hunting hat and like whistle and stuff and the kids never wore it because they can't bother
00:27:30.640 to like put on clothes ever but I thought was like oh this is a cute hunting costume they never wore
00:27:36.220 it because you hid it from them if you combine that it's it's in the halloween box if you combine
00:27:40.520 that with the hat like it looks they look and when was the last time you gave them the halloween box
00:27:44.480 just yesterday we decorated early and they and they wore the things in the halloween box you
00:27:50.020 know we're not they're gonna trick or treat in them so then you can't blame them for not wearing
00:27:53.940 it well no no no it was out for a very long time that the clothing that went with the gun but they
00:27:59.340 only cared about the gun the the shotgun um because obviously that's the fun part they didn't
00:28:05.320 care about the other stuff anyway um i think they're a very good combo i've kept the hat now
00:28:09.660 i get what it is but anyway a useful benchmark from voter registration research is that the
00:28:14.940 mortality rate among registered voters is roughly one percent annually and deaths are removed once
00:28:20.580 per year so then the average deceased record would remain on the roll for about half a year
00:28:26.800 and that's assuming everything works as efficiently as it possibly could oh and that'd be a really
00:28:32.300 easy way to get tons of names you can use to vote 100 it's like okay here we go let's let's like
00:28:38.320 this is our list let's go a deceased person could remain on an active voter roll temporarily because
00:28:44.680 death data can take a long time to reach the state battle records agency and the election office and
00:28:49.820 you're in a burka there's nothing they could even do even if they caught that somebody was yeah they 0.99
00:28:53.480 can't be like take off your well and also like if they don't require an id no but i mean like once 0.99
00:28:58.000 you voted how are they going to find you how are they going to track you down you know after you
00:29:00.820 lie about this. Yeah, totally. Also, a voter could die in another state or abroad, and that could
00:29:05.740 make the matching take even longer. Also, your name and your date of birth or address could be
00:29:11.600 different from what it was on voter rolls, and that could prevent an automatic high confidence
00:29:16.420 match. And then also officials have to avoid falsely removing a living voter who happens to
00:29:22.060 match a death record. And there's a lot of legislation to protect people on voter rolls
00:29:28.560 to like not remove them. And so that can make it harder for people to clean out the junk.
00:29:33.880 Like, I really feel like maybe we should have people register on an annual basis. Like the
00:29:37.300 default should be you're not registered to vote and you can't vote unless you plan to vote.
00:29:42.060 But it's not that way. And also federal and state laws also that impose procedures for maintaining
00:29:48.340 and removing voter records. So you can't just have some firm like come in and clear everything out.
00:29:53.960 You have to have a bunch of bureaucrats breathing down their necks while you do it. 0.70
00:29:56.960 the National Voter Registration Act permits removal upon death, but the actual workflow
00:30:01.480 is administered by state and local officials who are like, no, it has to be done in this weird
00:30:05.920 pedantic way. But anyway, to get a picture of how many dead people are still on voter rolls,
00:30:13.320 this is over 10 years old. But in 2015, Pew Research estimated 1.8 million deceased people
00:30:19.460 still on rolls nationwide. And they also estimated 24 million inaccurate or no longer valid
00:30:24.260 registrations. And then as of April 2026, just in the state of North Carolina, because apparently
00:30:29.300 people aren't looking at this very frequently. It's all like isolated one-off things. But in
00:30:33.100 North Carolina, a federal database comparison identified about 34,000 apparent deceased matches
00:30:38.740 on state voter roll records pending verification and proper removal. Note that North Carolina also
00:30:46.220 is the first state for the Democratic presidential primaries, right? Also, recall that the two
00:30:56.060 states that were up for this were North Carolina, I believe, and then Colorado, both states that are
00:31:03.400 pretty damn lax when it comes to voter registration. So I don't know, maybe it's a coincidence. I'm
00:31:09.360 not schizophrenic enough to say that that's a coincidence, but I'm kind of like, I'm just
00:31:13.520 observing that that might be a thing. But yeah, basically in states without voter ID requirements,
00:31:18.620 you could just show up and then vote for a dead person so long as you know about them.
00:31:24.300 And, you know, I'm sure that there are ways, especially now with AI, to like pretty
00:31:28.640 efficiently know, here are all the dead people, you know, get your group of people together.
00:31:33.820 And what I can say from my experience running for office in this state is that democratic
00:31:40.360 operations are not short of manpower like when when i went to turn in my um paid manpower too
00:31:49.940 you had all yourself you did all the yeah oh yeah i had to i had to get signatures to get on
00:31:55.940 the ballot in the first place like a certain number and i i collected them largely myself
00:32:02.760 a bunch of people helped out too but i was like for weeks on end waddling around in adult diapers
00:32:08.580 is heavily pregnant in the cold January weather, collecting these signatures. And I had to deliver
00:32:14.700 them, you know, personally, after all that pain, after the dogs chasing after me, um, to, and so
00:32:21.780 I show up and then there's like, it was either three or four people for my democratic incumbent
00:32:27.720 opponent. He was nowhere to be seen. And he also had not collected a single signature himself
00:32:32.120 because I went through his, his signatures and like, you have to record who collected the
00:32:35.900 signature and the whole thing top to bottom was i mean the the level of you are fighting if you
00:32:42.700 are a right-wing individual in america in europe one donate to individual orgs donate to individual
00:32:49.860 politicians do not donate to the rnc um but two yeah they should have helped like they they yeah
00:32:56.580 um but you are an individual ant against a giant corporate machine yeah i mean but also like it
00:33:03.820 just seems to be that there's this glut of like I'm just saying warm bodies that could show up
00:33:08.740 at polling stations wearing burkas if they wanted to I'm not saying that they are and I mean I do
00:33:14.000 think that to pull off what we're insinuating you can pull off where you have to like you have to 0.99
00:33:20.180 know the people who aren't first you need to find people who are dead or you know unlikely to show
00:33:28.980 up at a polling station so you can take their place basically like you have to be kind of
00:33:33.180 sophisticated about it. Not that sophisticated in the age of AI. I know in the age of AI. And I
00:33:40.400 think it's possible. And the one thing that the Democratic Party, I think, has over Republicans
00:33:47.260 is they have a lot of warm bodies capable of doing this thing where you could have them show up at a
00:33:52.720 bunch of different polling stations and precincts so as to not raise suspicions and then say that
00:33:57.340 they are people that they are not and provide the last four digits of their social security numbers
00:34:02.060 and be just fine. And I do find that very disturbing. And I just, yeah, the big thing
00:34:07.200 for me is basically, if you have residents in a state, it does not matter if they are
00:34:15.260 citizens or not. It does not matter if they are felons or if they're alive in some cases.
00:34:25.940 they may be used as voters and i just really wish that we had the voting system that you
00:34:33.880 described a long time ago where like only proven net tax contributors or child contributors which
00:34:41.900 should count as as as you know you are contributing a future taxpayer so that should count as like
00:34:46.980 every every up until the age of 18 you get counted for like a certain number of annual
00:34:52.000 like tax dollar contributions, even if you're not working, that only net taxpayers or future
00:34:57.340 taxpayer contribution or whatever should be allowed to vote. I wish we had that system
00:35:02.940 because the system as it is now, I just feel like it is almost an embodiment of the tyranny
00:35:09.840 of the unemployed. If you are not contributing to society, you're going to show up and vote.
00:35:16.420 and also there's no there's no limit to that there's no show me your id there's no
00:35:24.540 register ahead of time showing some kind of modicum of of preparation or effort it really
00:35:32.780 disturbs me i'm very scared um but i'm grateful that someone posted about this in the base camp
00:35:39.900 subreddit because apparently nuks talked about this two weeks ago but i don't know how i missed
00:35:43.440 it so it's important to talk about well uh well this is insane um i mean it's something that
00:35:50.280 people in our community are talking about but i want to emphasize the reason it's come out sort
00:35:54.840 of all at once is because companies like google were keeping the damn on by not allowing people
00:36:00.420 to talk about potential fraud yeah which allowed it to get to a case that when it just became
00:36:05.440 demonstrable like wait you can just do this right like people were like wait this seems so egregious
00:36:12.860 like incrementally we should have caught it before it got to this level well what's disturbing though
00:36:17.540 is even now even today with this stuff coming out even with james o'keefe doing what he did
00:36:21.840 the news story i saw about saw about this was about how dare james o'keefe's uncovered james
00:36:26.720 o'keefe pretended to be a man he wasn't to prove a point how dare he it wasn't like by the way
00:36:33.700 do you know you can do this because this is really messed up it was like oh no he didn't
00:36:40.600 follow the exact rules he did he did this was this is looked down upon behavior i don't even
00:36:46.480 think what he did was necessary i don't know maybe impersonating someone is illegal but he
00:36:50.080 didn't actually vote or register so i don't think what he did was illegal i think it was just kind
00:36:55.000 of like that's a little bit creepy and it's like well isn't it a little bit creepy that it's super
00:36:59.560 easy to actually commit voter fraud but no the democrats are fighting to make this harder he's
00:37:04.800 on the side that's fighting to make it so you can't do this yeah yeah i don't like it i don't
00:37:12.520 like it i don't like that like all sides are are basically trying to move toward monarchies that
00:37:17.920 we have to it is the only solution to if they don't want voting to matter anymore which they
00:37:24.820 obviously don't look at what the uh democrat whatever socialist party they're fighting
00:37:31.660 democratic socialist of america you can look at their platform they're fighting to remove the
00:37:34.880 presidency they're fighting to remove the senate they're fighting to remove the judiciary they 0.52
00:37:38.600 want to turn the american government and and and they want to make it so that felons can vote they
00:37:43.480 want to make it so that illegal immigrants can vote they they basically want to lock it in so 0.89
00:37:47.580 you create a system where they can't lose like they have in the eu and the eu and the people who 0.99
00:37:54.500 think well we'll just let it get this is like the nick fuentes thing is is like i can't believe that
00:38:00.540 he genuinely cares about america or american values because if he did he would understand
00:38:04.880 the threat that we are fighting against right now and the not just that we're fighting against but
00:38:10.020 what a good job the trump administration has done well they haven't pushed back as far as i would
00:38:15.260 want every time they've come into office they've incrementally pushed further than anyone thought
00:38:21.480 was possible what doge was able to accomplish was beyond what i have ever seen any administration
00:38:28.140 accomplished in my lifetime just shutting down look at what's happened after they shut down
00:38:34.340 what was that word called again um oh usaid usaid look at the wave of right-wing governments we've
00:38:40.420 had in latin america look at the collapse of the rap industry that was one thing that uh i don't
00:38:45.920 know if you've seen this but there's the big green button and tell me what you want to make
00:38:50.460 like cookies, pizza, pancakes.
00:38:53.400 What?
00:38:55.760 My vibe coding AI is testing Mud Puppy.
00:38:58.880 Aw.
00:39:01.320 Pancakes.
00:39:02.000 That's our AI app for kids, mudpuppy.ai,
00:39:04.740 that we've been experimenting with.
00:39:06.840 I'm getting it to do better recipe generation for kids.
00:39:10.560 But anyway.
00:39:11.920 Democracy ending. 0.98
00:39:14.420 Latin American shutting down US paid. 0.89
00:39:16.540 Latin American, yeah.
00:39:17.200 And rap.
00:39:17.900 So there's been a thing recently.
00:39:18.980 Rap, yeah, what?
00:39:19.720 that it looks like the rap industry might have been subsidized by us aid in other countries and
00:39:25.040 that rap may not organically be a popular form of music uh given the collapse we've seen in the
00:39:31.220 industry after us aid collapsed um we'll probably do an episode on that at some point that seems
00:39:36.980 like coral is a correlation not causation but we'll see there are some uncomfortable correlations
00:39:42.440 especially if you're looking at rap in overseas markets not necessarily in the american market
00:39:45.820 but in overseas markets almost certainly there was heavy promotion um and uh and this is what
00:39:51.800 we're looking at was a lot of these orgs you know you've got to you've got to be aware when an
00:39:55.620 organization when a government when a power wants to destroy your value system your society like
00:40:04.160 that's what we're seeing and fighting back against this must be totalizing yeah yeah yeah i don't
00:40:14.080 know i don't know i yeah we're i think we're headed no we're probably not i want i was gonna
00:40:21.840 say i think we're headed towards something different because i'm seeing both people on
00:40:25.060 the left and the right and like low culture and high culture all saying basically democracy is a
00:40:31.180 joke it's not a thing all of this is made up uh we it doesn't work it's broken but then i also look
00:40:37.700 at the system that we're we're up against the inertia i just don't see how it can change we had
00:40:43.360 this uh base camp meetup this past weekend where at one point in the call we were talking about
00:40:48.540 that like we were talking about repealing women's right to vote in in light of lindsey clans here
00:40:55.360 but like i think any changes to voting are not not on the table nothing nothing can change
00:41:03.120 aside from possibly some kind of shift in voting to allow non-citizens to vote like the dsa's
00:41:10.740 recommendations around voting like non-citizens being able to vote and felons being able to vote
00:41:16.220 i could see that happening i could see the system getting looser and worse but certainly not stricter
00:41:23.200 at any point no no more restrictions on voting and that is very disturbing i mean do you how
00:41:27.820 could this how could it go any other way i mean we need to fight back fighting back against entropy
00:41:34.320 is uh uh fighting back against entropy means we need to be open to using the same types of tactics
00:41:42.080 that they want to use and they have signaled at the level of kamala harris that they want to use
00:41:47.140 i feel like the only way to do this is to start the supreme court she has said she wanted to
00:41:51.920 change the way voting works in the united states and they're even fighting against voter laws right
00:41:56.300 like they want to fight they want to cheat that is part of their platform right like we cheat
00:42:01.560 when we point out something like this or like how dare you point this out when we point out
00:42:06.400 something like this and we put up reasonable solutions like voter id or at least the you
00:42:11.600 know library id or at least something it's no and yet they implement this when mandami opens his
00:42:16.460 food there you've got to be willing to understand that this is not and i think our side is
00:42:24.800 increasingly understanding this that they don't want to play fair
00:42:27.880 i'm super not okay with any of this i don't know anyway i'm glad you told me about this i'm just
00:42:39.960 i'm also not glad you told me about this very resentful okay love you did simone um uh guys
00:42:49.600 check out mudpuppy.ai if you have kids trying to make some some cool products for kids and uh
00:42:54.680 rfab if you are an adult and i i told everyone and people like oh you're you're building
00:42:59.780 these chatbot sites with with you know not safe for work stuff and it's terrible and it's like
00:43:04.920 yeah but i'm able to fund the money we make on that into making cool apps for kids yeah the whole
00:43:09.860 point is education non-profits are incredibly hard to make monetize yeah to be financially
00:43:16.840 sustainable um and and really you don't want them to be you want this to be extremely subsidized
00:43:22.380 But you also can't depend on some benefactor to payroll, like to, sorry, bankroll everything.
00:43:28.760 And so, yeah, this is how it's done.
00:43:32.920 This is entirely legitimate and good.
00:43:35.880 I fully endorse it.
00:43:38.420 Absolutely.
00:43:40.280 Love you to death, Simone.
00:43:41.620 Love you too.
00:43:42.280 Bye, Malcolm.
00:43:42.960 Bye.
00:43:43.420 Abbott, hold on.
00:43:45.000 Oh, no, that would be for my screen.
00:43:46.600 I have to do, I can't, so you can play a video.
00:43:49.680 Can you open a PDF?
00:43:50.500 you can't open a pdf that's too bad be cool if you could i can i can add that feature actually
00:43:56.960 to open a pdf but here let me just uh where's my desk oh yeah entire screen
00:44:07.620 okay tell me if you can see this can you see this
00:44:14.080 the the article yeah okay i need you to explain this to me
00:44:21.000 not only if his is he an active father to his two daughters but diversity keynotes is outside is it
00:44:31.220 daughters daughters daughters um who i assume they made a mistake it's a newspaper no because
00:44:41.480 hold on oh my god i'm all zoomed out look who are these young girls who are they who are these who
00:44:47.940 well let's ask i did and their children at their fashionable dallas home
00:44:54.540 what is what is this what is this who are these people i remember that desk i remember that art
00:45:02.540 um that uh that's your dad one of them that's his daughters katherine and then the other one
00:45:07.500 looks like christina his daughter's not that's your aunt right oh are you saying cousin she would
00:45:17.820 have been around that age and they likely hung out a lot because you know he worked with dorothy
00:45:22.360 okay
00:45:23.300 you think christina was that close in age to your sister she was they were very close okay okay so 0.77
00:45:31.800 the newspaper is just look at that dress oh oh oh my god so dumpy oh my god that looks like oh
00:45:39.800 sale muumuu in many prints that looks like what your mom wore when she was pregnant with you 0.99
00:45:44.480 you are such my god oh b-i-t
00:45:49.560 we gotta be pushing now mudpuppy.ai everything's working on it but the coding feature i haven't
00:45:58.340 fully tested yet that allows kids to vibe code but like it's really good for like kids because
00:46:03.100 it gives kids an ai interface that they can interact with almost entirely through audio
00:46:06.900 especially if on the button you click um i can't read yet and that removes the more complicated
00:46:12.660 options um and so the kid can go and like on their phone have it take a picture of them have it you
00:46:17.400 know take a picture of their environment turn it into images turn it into art you know really like
00:46:22.240 uh the full ai oh oh i forgot to do the full i'll have this up by tomorrow right now we have the
00:46:28.860 kid able to do recipes by talking and he just asked for noodles right now he asked for very
00:46:36.920 simple things like he asked for a helicopter and i was like well ask for something more specific
00:46:41.940 and he's like a helicopter with three millimeter rifles um thanks machine guns yeah he's uh look
00:46:51.720 He knows how to ask for very specific types of Chinook helicopters.
00:46:55.640 So I don't know.
00:46:57.840 I think he just gets a little, you know, camera shy or whatever when you are asking him.
00:47:02.360 When daddy's asking, when daddy's watching, you know, it's harder to know.
00:47:05.860 But I'm glad I have him around to see how, like, kids use AI so that I can build better.
00:47:09.540 Because what I really want is my kids to get super comfortable using AI as, like, you know, total AI natives.
00:47:16.880 True AI natives.
00:47:17.540 Totally. Absolutely. Yeah.
00:47:19.500 And I think we're moving there. We're moving there.
00:47:20.840 i agree and well and we're making the tools so other parents can do it too
00:47:24.740 yeah oh by the way you suggest for the tech tone interview for for what we can talk about
00:47:30.160 i i think it'd be really fun to talk about how he plans to raise his kids
00:47:33.060 yeah i mean he has his first kid on the way and that's like you know what is he going to do for
00:47:38.760 school like homeschool but also in case his answers are like i don't know i haven't worked
00:47:43.620 that out yet we should think of other things to talk about too so i'll i'll see what he's been
00:47:47.700 talking about recently or what he's talking about this week leading up to the interview because i
00:47:51.160 think that's more stuff that's on his mind that's how it is with everyone right i mean like people
00:47:55.320 are most interested in whatever it is that just came up this week it could be on wednesday like
00:47:59.140 something comes up that everyone's talking about he's talking about whatever and so we'll have to
00:48:04.540 see we'll have to wait and see anyway anyway i'll let you get started here and guys please do check
00:48:10.820 out for kids mudpuppy.ai uh or if you want to do like chat bot scenarios one thing i've worked
00:48:15.620 on a lot with rfab recently is making the free models more obvious because apparently people
00:48:20.600 were unaware of them um and the uh free models are now much easier to use and more obvious and
00:48:26.040 i increased the quality of the free models we have available so right now the free models that
00:48:30.860 you can use on rfab are going to be the uh thinking equivalent of the paid system on something like
00:48:37.160 candy ai because somebody's like well i can get candy for a full year for 50 and i spend more than
00:48:41.600 a month on rfab and i was like yeah because you're using the frontier models why don't you use the
00:48:44.700 free ones and then i realized it wasn't obvious how to use the free ones and so i was like no okay
00:48:48.280 i'm gonna make it really obvious how to use the free models so if you're really into candy ai or
00:48:52.380 janitor ai um now you can use uh not just like the hermes 3 model but like kimmy 2 for free on our
00:48:59.760 which is a lot better i mean the the models they're using sometimes i'm like look maybe
00:49:05.020 you're using okay models and you're just modifying it in a way that just makes it terrible i don't
00:49:10.800 know but uh i'll i'll just keep building and building are you trying to bite me
00:49:18.500 oh god titan you're gonna get hurt doing this do you want a hug yeah yeah you want a hug
00:49:30.600 why do you love biting people titan because it's my favorite thing why is it your favorite thing
00:49:39.700 because I really love it
00:49:41.980 but I really love
00:49:43.600 fighting me
00:49:45.440 oh god
