00:00:57.280 the unparalleled pleasure the dopamine hit of the day the thing that makes everything better except

00:01:02.780 for election recounts it happens now go

00:01:06.740 i can feel the election getting more accurate every moment

00:01:17.920 all right let's talk about all the things many things are happening and we shall discuss them

00:01:24.480 um i guess the border patrol seized enough fentanyl at our border to kill 200 000 people

00:01:35.040 that's right there was enough fentanyl in one shipment to kill 200 000 people of course it comes from china 0.58

00:01:44.780 and i would like to reiterate my call for ending relations with china until they execute their 0.92

00:01:54.840 fentanyl dealers now the china knows who their fentanyl dealers are we have named them they know who

00:02:01.280 they are they know where they live etc and apparently they're allowed to be operating continually without

00:02:08.640 any penalty and i think china can do what they want to do but we should do what we want to do 0.54

00:02:14.240 which is uh send all of their diplomats home so what i would do is i would actually and i recommend

00:02:22.140 this send 100 of china's diplomats home until they can show us that they've arrested and stopped the

00:02:30.820 fentanyl and if after 30 days you know give them 30 days to do that send all their diplomats home after 30 days

00:02:39.100 and then wait another 30 days and if they still haven't corrected that um should send all of their

00:02:46.680 students home so i don't know how many students are physically attending college in the united states

00:02:52.660 during coronavirus but they we should just send them all home just every one of them and don't make it 1.00

00:03:00.960 personal because it doesn't have to be it's just business if you're sending us fentanyl we're sending you

00:03:08.480 back all of your diplomats if if you continue doing it we'll send you back all of your students 1.00

00:03:15.560 we don't want to it's not our first choice but it's not like they're giving us much choice

00:03:23.680 and it would be extra delicious to uh for president trump to bind biden to whatever whatever trump does

00:03:33.920 before he leaves office with china how in the world are we ever going to trust joe biden to negotiate 0.94

00:03:41.400 with china it doesn't even feel like a thing does it is there anything that joe biden could negotiate

00:03:48.800 with china that would make at least half of the country say oh yeah that looks like a pretty good 0.97

00:03:53.800 deal i think joe biden pushed them as hard as he could probably got the maximum deal that you could

00:04:00.240 get out of china literally nobody will think that and half the country will think it's treason

00:04:06.320 so i don't know how biden can um win with what all the smart people say is the biggest issue with

00:04:15.860 the united states going forward which is how do you deal with an emerging china so we'll talk about 0.55

00:04:23.260 that a little bit more um i always hear that people say that masks don't work claim lots of people

00:04:30.840 and they say but show me the proof if you believe that masks work show me the study oh oh there's no

00:04:38.820 study oh scott you don't have any studies oh so this morning there was a study showing that masks

00:04:46.280 do work according to one study now if you watch my periscopes or my live streams on youtube you know

00:04:54.740 that i always warn you that studies um studies even studies that look like they're well done at first

00:05:02.220 maybe 50 50 chance that they're real at most i would say when you hear that a study proved whatever

00:05:11.280 sort of a coin flip you know a study proved maybe 50 likely that it could be uh reproduced but the study

00:05:21.860 says masks work and the way they looked at it was they looked at people who were handling uh

00:05:28.900 coronavirus people they looked at people who wore masks they compared them to the people who did not

00:05:34.520 to which i say wait there were people handling handling coronavirus who didn't wear masks

00:05:40.980 what so i don't know how you get that group of people who didn't wear masks but apparently they exist

00:05:48.580 and they studied them and they found that the the people who didn't wear the masks had substantially

00:05:54.180 higher infections and again it's one study 50 chance that any study is true but let me let me just uh

00:06:05.220 wrap it up this way i don't think you should believe that study or any other study um you know in in

00:06:14.100 isolation you need you need a body of work before you should believe something but those saying there

00:06:20.180 are no studies i would like to add that there are so now there's at least one so you can't say there

00:06:28.580 are no studies but you can certainly say you don't believe them uh media matters came after me

00:06:35.780 you were probably waiting for that weren't you what took them so long so media matters uh seems to have

00:06:43.220 uh put me in their crosshairs i'm on the radar you might say if you don't know who media matters

00:06:50.900 is it's a left-leaning disreputable website where they make lots of claims against trump supporters

00:06:59.060 etc so here's how they went after me they in their article they note that i and a number of other people

00:07:06.980 i think laura ingram was in there but we were accused of uh retweeting a tweet from someone who

00:07:16.500 had made uh tweets that they think are racist in the past so media matters is calling me out by name

00:07:26.100 writing a big article to associate me with a website that has made what they consider offensive and or

00:07:35.700 racist um tweets in the past now how many people um who use twitter think that that's a thing

00:07:49.300 that's not a thing yeah i think media matters is confusing facebook with twitter let me explain this

00:07:56.180 to media matters um if i'm on facebook and i do decide to friend a white supremacist well that's

00:08:06.740 something you should probably worry about you might even write an article about it oh my goodness somebody

00:08:14.020 friended a racist and i think that could be part of a conversation i would say that's not nothing

00:08:22.340 right you know your associations are part of the story right but twitter isn't facebook if i retweet you

00:08:34.020 you're not my friend

00:08:38.660 if you retweet content from somebody's twitter feed you're not really becoming their friend

00:08:45.940 it doesn't have that meaning it's just the content so uh the way that media matters turns a nothing

00:08:54.020 into a something is by assuming that people don't use twitter enough to understand that retweeting

00:09:01.940 something doesn't mean anything it has no meaning it doesn't mean you know it doesn't mean you researched

00:09:09.700 the original tweeter it doesn't mean that it means you looked at the content and you said oh that's

00:09:16.340 some content that my followers should see you or might like that's it that's the twitter model you do

00:09:23.700 not acquire the reputation of people you retweet and let me explain it this way if you acquired the

00:09:31.140 reputation of the people you retweeted how could you even understand your world it would mean everybody

00:09:39.620 on twitter who's retweeting they're acquiring everybody's reputation and you wouldn't know who

00:09:44.660 anybody was at that point let me tell you uh what percentage of people i retweet who i would consider

00:09:54.420 horrible in at least one way okay so if if this site i i retweeted has some bad retweets in their past

00:10:04.260 let's say for my my conversation that they're horrible in at least one way that doesn't mean

00:10:11.540 they're mean to pets right it means that they're horrible in exactly one way allegedly i don't know

00:10:19.460 myself but allegedly they're horrible in this one way how many people have i retweeted in my lifetime

00:10:27.460 who were horrible in at least one way

00:10:32.260 all of them every one of them you know i'm pretty sure if i dug into your private lives

00:10:41.300 oh i'd find something i'd find something even if you're 99 lovely you could be delightful people

00:10:49.220 pretty much law-abiding you could be all of that but i'll bet i can find at least one thing you've all

00:10:57.460 done that's pretty bad that one thing so do i acquire all of your mistakes if i retweet you do i pick up

00:11:07.460 all of your flaws do they become part of me because i retweeted you so media matters is silly and we're

00:11:16.420 going to ignore them um i would also like to point out and i will return to this point often i think

00:11:24.180 that a lot of what we've um in society we've decided to label as racist is better described as offensive

00:11:34.820 because people can be offensive intentionally they can be offensive unintentionally without being racist

00:11:40.820 would you agree that that statement is true that you could be offensive both both intentionally and

00:11:49.540 sometimes accidentally without necessarily being a racist right so if you look at a lot of the claims

00:11:57.780 you'll find that the claims fall into that category of being offensive but clearly not racist and i think

00:12:05.940 that we should make that distinction really really clear because it would solve 70 percent of our

00:12:10.980 problems did i offend you oh i'm sorry that wasn't the point the point was not to offend you it's my

00:12:19.860 opinion but i don't mean it to offend you so i think you can apologize for being offensive even if it's an

00:12:27.220 accident why not you're we're social people we live in the world we try to get along you should certainly

00:12:35.140 certainly apologize for accidentally offending somebody that doesn't mean you won't do it again

00:12:42.580 doesn't mean they own you it doesn't mean you're a bad person but sure apologies are good social

00:12:48.740 lubricant i think they're appropriate quite often uh rasmussen has uh shared some information that i think will

00:12:56.980 be available to the rest of you today sometime that apparently opinions about china are uh worsening

00:13:04.900 where uh now sixty percent of americans think that china should pay some kind of reparations or

00:13:11.780 something because of the coronavirus and that's that's up from uh what

00:13:18.420 42 percent that's pretty big pretty big change but here's the part that got my interest 33 percent

00:13:28.980 of americans now consider china an enemy of the united states what do you think that was in march of 2018

00:13:36.820 so it's 33 percent think china is an enemy today what was it two years ago 18 so it went from 18 percent

00:13:47.060 of americans thought china is an enemy to 33 percent do you know what happened in 2018

00:13:54.340 that's when china killed my stepson with fentanyl and it was the time that i uh promised you i was going to 0.89

00:14:03.540 take china down now of course i've been uh talking crap about china for two years and uh probably just

00:14:16.260 a coincidence that that turned out to be the high point of china's goodwill with the united states

00:14:23.540 and it has gone straight down since then now it could be could be that there are a lot more voices

00:14:32.820 talking out against china and of course the coronavirus is probably the biggest deal that's happening in that 0.88

00:14:38.260 regard but uh i would like to say that i am part of the productive change in opinion from uh china being

00:14:46.980 our frenemy to being our enemy and i would consider them our enemy as of today well since 2018 in my case

00:14:57.140 all right um black lives matter founder co-founder has made it clear to biden that uh black lives matter

00:15:09.060 expects something because they they say that they helped to get the black vote for biden and they want

00:15:14.420 something in return they want something in return but luckily joe biden is no president trump so when

00:15:24.100 black lives matter says we'd like to get something in return they can depend on joe biden to come through

00:15:31.060 just the way democrats have been coming through for the black population for decades for example here

00:15:37.940 are some of the important things that joe biden has promised the black community and i think they

00:15:43.220 could be pretty happy about this pretty happy because you'd think hey i wonder if the democrats will

00:15:49.700 once again make promises and do basically nothing unlike president trump who literally promised nothing

00:16:00.180 and did a whole bunch of things everything from the platinum plan to special opportunity zones and

00:16:07.060 funding the hb the historically black colleges to prison reform so the president he didn't promise

00:16:14.340 anything he said what the hell do you have to lose that's as little as you can promise that's

00:16:19.380 no promise and he delivered what even even his uh critics grudgingly say okay gotta admit that's a lot of

00:16:28.900 stuff so president trump delivered for the the black population in this country even including his

00:16:35.940 critics agree but biden can take that up a level so he's made some promises and let me tell you what

00:16:41.700 he's promised and uh this is nothing to sneeze at so biden has promised that as president he would

00:16:50.820 create a police oversight board to combat police brutality especially against black and minority

00:16:57.620 people within the first hundred days in the white house so if you were worried that biden was going to do

00:17:03.540 nothing nothing don't worry anymore because he's gonna put together a police oversight board i don't know why

00:17:12.580 nobody thought of that before put together a little committee huh how about that yeah so i think the black 0.96

00:17:20.500 population is pretty happy about that because nobody ever promised to put a meeting together

00:17:27.220 but that's not all there's way more than that uh biden has also promised to create an economic plan

00:17:35.220 that provides housing education and financial support those are all good things housing education

00:17:41.540 financial support this is good stuff that joe biden is is planning to give um and he says as

00:17:47.700 financial support to the black and latino communities who have been disproportionately affected by the

00:17:53.300 coronavirus pandemic wait what am i reading this correctly that joe biden is going to give uh emergency relief

00:18:03.300 based on your race does does is that actually happening joe biden decided that your race would determine

00:18:13.940 how much uh emergency support you get isn't that the opposite of what a president should do

00:18:23.300 that's like exactly the opposite isn't it shouldn't the president make sure that everybody who's in

00:18:29.940 trouble during a pandemic gets help sort of close to equal amount of help now i don't know if this is

00:18:39.460 talking about an equal amount of help or some kind of special help if what it's getting at is an equal

00:18:46.020 amount of help i'm all for it but it doesn't sound like that does it so joe biden's got some promises

00:18:53.220 he needs to keep uh i think he has duped the black voters as the democrats have been doing for years

00:19:01.220 but successfully looks like he got away with it um if you're wondering what the future holds for this

00:19:07.460 recount business with the election do you wonder how it's going to turn out is it going to turn out

00:19:14.340 that the election is overturned seems highly unlikely doesn't it or is it going to turn out that uh there's

00:19:21.060 just not really much fraud there or maybe a little bit of fraud but not enough to change anything don't

00:19:27.300 you wonder how it's all going to turn out well i'm going to narrow the options for you there's one

00:19:33.860 potential outcome that i think doesn't have any chance of being true here are the ones that do have

00:19:40.420 a chance of being true one is that there is a little bit of fraud some anecdotes but the election

00:19:47.780 stance would you agree that it's at least possible right you might think that that's unlikely because

00:19:55.060 you think the election was stolen or something but would you agree it's possible i mean it's possible

00:20:01.620 that you look into it you don't find much right it's it's still possible even though we'll talk about

00:20:09.300 sydney powell and the voting machines and we'll talk about all the allegations and the strange data i'll get

00:20:14.900 to that but at this point it's still possible right that they could look into it and not find much

00:20:24.580 would you agree or no because i'm interested if you would at least agree that it's possible

00:20:31.300 even if you think the odds are pretty low so i'd say it's possible here's the other possibility

00:20:37.060 that we find that the there's not only fraud but there's massive fraud throughout the election system

00:20:46.180 so much so that maybe we've never had a fair election now do you think that's possible you

00:20:54.100 don't have to put an odds on it yet just say is there any possibility that when when we do these audits

00:21:01.460 and look into it that what we discover is it's not just bad it's so bad that we couldn't even imagine

00:21:09.380 how bad it was i mean it's like unimaginably corrupt do you think that's even possible

00:21:16.740 is there any chance that it's so corrupt that we didn't even have a democracy or a public and we

00:21:24.500 thought we did is it possible i think it is i think it is i don't know what odds to put on it

00:21:31.940 but i'd say that's possible so those are the two things that i'd say are are possible we find out

00:21:38.660 there always has been massive fraud including this time we find out that things have actually been pretty

00:21:44.740 good not much fraud at all i'd say that's possible um but are there any any possibilities that uh

00:21:57.300 that don't exist i think the possibility that um

00:22:05.780 the the possibility well there let me let me get to my biggest point

00:22:12.580 um

00:22:17.300 i don't see

00:22:19.860 really much chance that they're not going to find massive fraud do you if you want to go further

00:22:26.500 and put some odds on it i would say the what's going to happen is that some people who have an

00:22:34.260 idea about the country they live in and the their reality is going to change a lot all right so

00:22:42.420 in my case if i were to learn that despite the fact that these elections are full of holes

00:22:49.460 meaning there are lots of opportunities to cheat we'll talk about those too

00:22:53.460 but i can't understand any world in which lots of people are involved there's a huge upside potential

00:23:00.420 for cheating lots of ways to do it and that it doesn't happen in a major way so my my understanding

00:23:10.660 of reality will be completely destroyed if it turns out that the right people look into it and don't find

00:23:19.140 anything and don't find anything significant anyway my whole life understanding of people

00:23:26.100 how the world works uh how big systems work how big organizations work literally the thing i spend my

00:23:33.300 life writing about i would all be wrong about all of that it would completely annihilate

00:23:41.540 my understanding of reality so that could happen here's the other possibility

00:23:48.820 all the people who think that they've been living in a democracy slash republic with something like fair

00:23:55.380 elections it's never happened it's possible we've never had a fair election in fact if i had to put odds

00:24:06.500 on it when i say never you know people get caught up on the absolutes so let me pull it back from an

00:24:14.260 absolute it doesn't mean that the person who got the most voter support never won because i'm sure that

00:24:21.380 sometimes people win even if the other side cheats that's probably happening but i would bet

00:24:28.180 i would bet that pretty much all of our major elections anything that involves a city at least

00:24:38.180 probably corrupt and maybe always have them and maybe we just don't know so i think that's the big

00:24:44.420 uh reality twist that's coming we shall see um as the dilbert guy the guy who writes about big

00:24:53.620 organizations and what people do in big organizations the election is like a big organization and if i'm wrong

00:25:01.620 about this uh my my whole career is sort of a joke because all i write about is how when there's a big

00:25:11.220 organization bad stuff happens every time it doesn't sometimes happen it's every time every single

00:25:19.540 time all right um there's some research on uh mouthwash that apparently there's some kind of mouthwash

00:25:30.820 that has this particular ingredient uh which watch me now try to pronounce it

00:25:37.940 settle periodidium serapidil periodidium i think i nailed it if you've got that

00:25:45.620 serapidil periodidium chloride in your mouthwash it it has promising signs of reducing covid so i use

00:25:54.660 mouthwash several times a day but i have to check if i have that if i have that ingredient by the way

00:26:01.060 if you smoke marijuana and do mouthwash directly afterwards it gets rid of your munchies that's a little tip 1.00

00:26:09.380 for you so it so if i get coronavirus uh that would be a miracle because i use a lot of mouthwash

00:26:16.900 all right um does it seem to you that joe biden sort of evolved into that guy who complains at every

00:26:25.300 meeting that there's no plan have you been have you worked for a big organization or even a small one

00:26:32.340 there's always somebody at the meeting whose only comment is going to be that there is no plan where's

00:26:39.540 the plan or where's our strategy same thing where's our plan i think joe biden became that where's the

00:26:47.220 plan guy because he keeps complaining that the president has no plan to distribute the vaccine

00:26:55.780 do you think that's true the president assigned the top logistics guy in the military to make a plan

00:27:03.060 all right so this is the part we know is true the trump picked the top logistics guy in the military

00:27:09.780 to make a plan to figure out how to get all these vaccines to people in the quickest time joe biden says

00:27:18.020 there's no plan which of those do you think is true do you think if the top military guy who's in

00:27:25.540 charge of logistics and he's literally charged with saving the country that's his job the guy whose job

00:27:33.860 it is to get those vaccines to people he's he's saving how many lives will he save if he does a

00:27:39.940 good job so joe biden thinks that guy isn't doing it right that's what joe biden says there's no plan

00:27:48.500 i got a feeling that if you assigned a logistics job the most important one in the country there's

00:27:56.420 nothing else going on that's that important for logistics is there nothing even close so it's the

00:28:02.340 most important goal given to exactly the right person the logistics guy in the military it's

00:28:10.660 the military this isn't wally it's not like you give an assignment to somebody in a cubicle and they

00:28:17.460 tell you a week later they were busy and they didn't get around to it it's the military when the commander

00:28:23.540 chief tells somebody in the military to give me a plan for logistics i'm pretty sure they're making a

00:28:29.300 plan just because joe biden hasn't seen it that doesn't make it not a plan um i think it's hilarious

00:28:36.500 that uh kamala harris is getting security briefings because she's a senator but uh biden does not so so

00:28:44.820 you already see it happening that joe biden is already being left out of decisions not exactly but but

00:28:52.180 you can see like the first hint of it oh yeah we're giving security briefings to kamala harris 0.89

00:28:59.380 but there's a reason it's not because joe biden isn't the real president we have a reason it's

00:29:05.380 because she's a senator and you know he's not an elected official so the president has to give him that

00:29:12.580 authority and he hasn't so it makes sense but i'm kind of wondering will we see other examples in

00:29:19.380 which the vice president knows more than the the president elect um

00:29:29.460 joe biden is also what i call the angry obvious guy

00:29:34.180 he likes to say obvious things that just don't have any new new information in them it's just

00:29:40.900 obviously what anybody would do but if he says it with an angry condescending voice he sounds like

00:29:49.060 a leader um so let me give you uh give you an example here's one of his tweets and i'm going

00:29:56.980 to read it two different ways uh one is the way a normal person would talk all right and then i'll

00:30:03.620 give you the joe biden angry obvious guy talk okay so here here's without any effects his tweet said

00:30:11.940 right now congress should come together and pass coven relief package like the heroes act 1.00

00:30:16.900 that the house passed six months ago once we shut down the virus and deliver economic relief to

00:30:22.500 workers and businesses then we can build back better than ever before sounds reasonable right

00:30:30.100 completely reasonable thing uh democrats want a relief bill republicans want a relief bill

00:30:36.900 we all understand it could be important to getting our economy going a very reasonable tweet wouldn't you

00:30:42.980 say but if he were saying this in person he would do it in angry obvious guy voice to make it sound

00:30:49.620 more leaderly and it would go like this right now congress should come together

00:30:58.180 and pass a covid relief package like the heroes act

00:31:05.220 that the house passed six months ago six months ago six months ago people folks six months ago they passed

00:31:17.220 and nothing and once we shut down the virus and deliver economic relief economic relief

00:31:27.220 to workers and businesses

00:31:33.300 then we can build back better

00:31:38.980 see how that turned into leaderly talk just by getting angry and excited about ordinary words

00:31:47.460 he does that well all right um i tweeted humorously that um reading twitter lately

00:31:56.980 about all the election fraud techniques it's like getting a prison education if you had asked me two

00:32:04.100 weeks ago scott can you name all the ways that an election could be rigged i would say well you

00:32:10.900 know i haven't thought about it but if i make a list uh let's see i'll make a list i got uh yeah i got

00:32:18.340 two or three things that would be ways to rig an election but i feel like now i have a lot of them

00:32:27.860 if you ever want to throw an election in a third world country and you're wondering what technique

00:32:33.860 to use you could just ask me because i picked up quite a bit of technique in the the past couple of

00:32:40.340 weeks let me give you a few examples and let me say that these are techniques which are alleged

00:32:48.100 if you ask me they all look a little sketchy because if it's really this easy to cheat

00:32:57.140 then people have some real big surprises coming so i'd like to think that it's not really this easy

00:33:04.020 but here are the allegations one of them is you could take a pile of ballots let's say for one

00:33:10.260 candidate all the votes are for one candidate you can feed it into the counting machine and then just

00:33:16.980 pick up the ballots and feed them through a second time or a third time or a fourth time now it is

00:33:23.700 alleged that that's a real thing somebody says they saw it happen but there's a part of me that says

00:33:33.540 really really the system is so insecure that you can just take the same bunch of ballots and just feed

00:33:40.900 it through a second time and nobody catches that now i have a little bit of trouble believing it's true

00:33:47.460 because it feels a little too easy but it's alleged how about this one dead people voting that's probably

00:33:55.700 universally true but i doubt that dead people alone will be some kind of a big change to our election

00:34:02.660 outcome um here's a trick that i'd never heard of before but it's a clever one when unsolicited ballots

00:34:11.060 are being mailed out they just send a whole bunch of extra ballots to democrats and they

00:34:17.140 send republicans one so if you're a republican and you requested a ballot you get your one ballot

00:34:24.820 and you think the world is good what do you know you requested one ballot you got one ballot you filled

00:34:30.740 it out you're a happy republican you're a democrat you requested one ballot perhaps you get five of them

00:34:38.980 and you say to yourself huh i got five ballots what do you do well probably most people are honest and

00:34:48.900 they go i only needed one they throw the other four away but some people are going to fill out the other

00:34:55.140 ones you don't need everybody to fill out the extra ones you just need you know two percent and suddenly

00:35:02.660 you've got a race now that one is also alleged um anecdotally we've heard some stories about that

00:35:10.020 again i don't know how true it is it's an allegation um i've heard the allegation that there are lots of

00:35:16.660 people registered at the same addresses such that i guess you could just say you're different people

00:35:22.980 living at one address and you could get lots of ballots is that a big deal i don't know could be

00:35:29.140 um how about uh manually reading the ballots wrong so there's one allegation that uh i guess you know

00:35:39.140 there are different mechanisms and systems for counting uh votes but at one place it is alleged

00:35:45.060 that there's somebody who would have the ballot and would read it to the person who was inputting

00:35:49.620 and would say uh joe biden and then the person who was inputting would take it and was supposed to

00:35:55.060 double check it but you know there are a lot of ballots so they would just hear joe biden and they

00:36:01.700 would just type in biden and just put it in a pile without really checking that it really said joe biden

00:36:07.780 now there's some allegation that one of the uh the watchers saw them uh saying that the trump

00:36:15.940 ballots were really biden second person doesn't even look and just inputs biden and so it happened

00:36:22.420 multiple times so apparently the allegation is that one way you could cheat is just have the person

00:36:29.140 who's reading off the votes just say biden now is that the rock solid uh voting system with checks and

00:36:38.180 balances that you thought you had where somebody could just say uh says biden here yeah trust me yeah

00:36:45.060 this is biden right there that's it you can actually cheat that way are you kidding me all right

00:36:52.660 here's another way i heard and again i don't know if any of these are real these are just allegations

00:36:57.940 um i've heard that uh i think this was a philadelphia story if i remember correctly about

00:37:04.340 somebody asking whoever was running the polling station uh who should we talk to to drop off the blank

00:37:10.420 ballots blank ballots blank ballots so one way is just deliver pallets of blank ballots when it's time

00:37:18.740 to you know put your candidate ahead and all right so here's another one turning off the signature

00:37:26.660 matching so apparently there's electronic signature matching who knows how well that works i don't know

00:37:34.500 can you really electronically match a signature is that even a thing but let's say it is a thing

00:37:40.420 but you could just turn it off you could just go to the machine turn it off and then every every

00:37:46.900 ballot goes through when normally lots of them would get rejected lots of them might be three percent

00:37:52.660 as opposed to 0.03 but you could just turn it off but you but you could also turn down the sensitivity

00:38:01.540 because you've got a lot of work to do you don't want to be checking everything just because the

00:38:06.020 machine told you to so you could just turn down the sensitivity did you know that you could probably

00:38:13.780 dial the winner of the election just by how sensitive you made the signature check it could

00:38:20.100 be that easy to throw an election just go in there and go let's take 20 off the signature sensitivity

00:38:27.700 checking might be enough right now again i don't know that this happened these are all just allegations

00:38:35.540 and all the allegations are equal until they're not meaning that they're all unproven until they're proven

00:38:40.740 and then of course i haven't even mentioned the software system you know the dominion systems

00:38:47.780 so if you have software you have a million different ways

00:38:54.740 somebody says there's proof that there's no cheating because scott did not do this in 2016

00:38:59.460 well you know if the person you didn't expect to get elected gets elected uh you should check

00:39:08.420 don't you think you should check into that so if somebody had made the same claim in 2016 and i don't

00:39:15.220 remember it being made but if somebody had oh well i would have taken that seriously are you telling me

00:39:22.740 that i would believe that no republicans had ever tried to cheat in an election

00:39:30.980 how can you be seriously even considering that of course you you have to assume that both democrats

00:39:37.060 and republicans have cheated in elections at whatever scale i don't know but you have to assume it's both

00:39:44.660 so if there had been those accusations in 2016 i'd probably treat them the same way i'm treating

00:39:50.260 these which is well the allegations are just allegations should they be you know proven through the the

00:39:58.740 correct mechanisms i will treat them as facts but if the allegation had been made in 2016 i definitely

00:40:08.100 would not would not have ruled it out based on it being impossible on face value i wouldn't have done that

00:40:16.180 uh scott said about rigged in 2016 i don't know what that comment is

00:40:26.580 there's a whole uh industry of people rummaging through my old tweets and statements to try to find

00:40:32.660 an inconsistency it's a weird thing about being a public figure it happened you know even this morning

00:40:38.820 somebody produced some tweet that they imagined was inconsistent with something i say now but isn't of

00:40:45.140 course all right so sydney powell as you know super lawyer is making some really strong allegations

00:40:55.460 about this uh software and it's almost so crazy that you can't even describe it but apparently the

00:41:04.260 allegation is that she has a whistleblower a high level military person but i don't know military of

00:41:10.500 what country she doesn't say but somehow was present or had close personal knowledge of

00:41:18.580 this same software that we use for our elections being originally created for chavez in venezuela for

00:41:26.340 the purpose of throwing an election so the allegation is that it's designed to throw elections it's not

00:41:33.780 designed just to count elections that it's specifically designed to cheat on elections and that it was used

00:41:41.220 in venezuela effectively and other countries i think effectively and that now that same software

00:41:48.020 which was made allegedly to throw elections is the one we're using now here's the thing

00:41:56.420 you can it's easy to believe small allegations isn't it if somebody says oh somebody stole a loaf of bread

00:42:06.900 it might be true it might not be true but it's easy to believe it's easy to believe a person could steal a

00:42:12.820 loaf of bread but would you say something as big as this that the entire election system of the united

00:42:21.060 states the greatest uh alleged democracy in the history of the of civilization that our voting system

00:42:29.700 is completely fraudulent just completely fraudulent as in whoever has access to this feature that changes

00:42:37.620 votes is the only person who gets to determine the election that is such a big claim that your brain

00:42:45.940 can't process it and that's the problem the problem is that the claim is too big well you know i hate to

00:42:53.140 make uh analogies from uh hitler but was isn't there a gobble gobbles or gobbles or whoever it is

00:43:01.860 quote about the bigger the lie the more the more easily it can be believed so the big lie in this case

00:43:09.620 is that the election is that's fine it's all secure software is not a problem

00:43:16.180 who could hack software so that's the big lie that there's no problem with the elections and

00:43:22.100 uh and when you hear this allegation it too is so big that your brain can't even process it if if

00:43:33.060 tomorrow this story went away you would probably just stop thinking about it you would just stop

00:43:39.620 thinking about it as soon as the news stops reporting it you'll stop acting as if it were real

00:43:48.100 it's it's the weirdest psychological thing and here's the thing i don't know if it's real

00:43:54.100 i don't know i do know that if there's such a thing as a piece of software that you know various

00:44:01.460 different countries have their fingers in it somebody at least tried so wouldn't you say that

00:44:09.060 you could say with 100 certainty that various entities have certainly tried to mess with that

00:44:15.780 software i can say that with complete confidence because if if the cia has never tried to mess with

00:44:24.420 that software what the hell are they doing why are we paying them if they're not messing with that

00:44:29.540 software that software is used in other countries our intelligence services probably like every other

00:44:36.980 intelligence service is looking for ways to influence other countries of course look at their elections

00:44:43.220 of course so are you telling me our cia didn't at least try to use that software to at least try to

00:44:52.020 influence other countries if they didn't they all need to be fired likewise you know the intelligence 0.88

00:45:01.860 agencies of china and russia and great britain and israel and everywhere else if they haven't at least tried

00:45:08.980 to get in that software they all need to be fired that's exactly what you should be doing all day long

00:45:15.460 is trying to get into that in fact if there was anything else you were doing you should be fired

00:45:22.500 because you're not a very good spy if you're not working full-time trying to get into that software

00:45:29.060 now my guess if i had to guess is that that and again this is just based on knowing people

00:45:36.180 knowing motivations knowing people knowing large organizations knowing the job of intelligence

00:45:44.260 agencies and knowing that lots of time has gone by so just knowing those assumptions here's what i

00:45:51.300 believe that the software has not only been penetrated by bad bad entities but probably multiple

00:46:00.020 so for example there are probably more than one employee by now who's been placed in in these voting system

00:46:10.980 companies that are actually just agents of foreign companies foreign countries wouldn't you say that the

00:46:17.620 odds that they've at least tried to get people that they can influence on the inside a hundred percent

00:46:24.980 they've at least tried so by now since lots of time has gone by almost certainly they've succeeded and i would

00:46:34.020 say the same thing about these social media platforms the social media platforms by now should be

00:46:43.220 completely penetrated by all the major intelligence agencies or at least they've tried i would imagine

00:46:49.540 they've succeeded by now so to me it's almost unimaginable that the right people haven't tried and had enough

00:46:57.860 time to make a difference in any kind of a system so it's not an allegation about specifically dominion or

00:47:05.860 specifically anybody it's just when you have that set up it can only go one way it's not like there are two

00:47:13.940 different ways that this goes in the long run in the long run the intelligence agencies of course will

00:47:20.580 take control of voting systems they have to it'd be crazy for them not to that is their job

00:47:30.020 lynn wood who's also working on this issue working on the georgia recount he this is a guy who does

00:47:38.020 defamation lawsuits for a living and he said this in one of his comments and he said that he's very

00:47:44.420 careful about defaming people in public because it's what he does for a living is defending people who

00:47:50.100 got defamed in public and he said still that he's willing to say in public that the governor of georgia

00:47:57.140 is crooked and that the election was stolen that is pretty direct isn't it now do you think that's true do

00:48:06.340 you think that lynn wood with all the connections that lynn wood has would know for sure whether georgia 1.00

00:48:15.220 is a corrupt political situation do you think he'd know now whether he could prove it or not is the

00:48:21.380 separate question but do you think just as a person do you think he knows i feel like he probably does

00:48:29.620 because there probably aren't too many people who have more access to you know behind the scenes and how

00:48:34.980 things really work than a high-powered you know government kind of lawyer so i think lynn woods probably 1.00

00:48:43.060 knows but you know i'm not going to make an allegation because i don't want to be sued but he's somebody who

00:48:49.940 would know and that's a pretty direct allegation so i think what you're going to find and here's the the

00:48:57.940 the big red pill that the country is getting ready to take if i had to put money on it uh and i did actually

00:49:06.020 so let me correct that i did put money on it so i do have bets that we will discover that the election is fraudulent

00:49:15.940 fraudulent now the bet is in the form of thinking that some of the states will be reversed so i've got

00:49:24.180 some bets about some of the states being reversed which would indicate fraud all right so here's what

00:49:33.780 i think i think that the country is going to learn that our entire voting system is uh corrupted

00:49:42.660 and when i say the entire system i don't mean oh it's just the software nope i think we're going to find

00:49:50.900 it's literally everything i think it's going to be soup to nuts i think we're going to find the software is

00:49:57.300 completely corrupted uh i think that we will find that the physical ballots are completely corrupted and i think

00:50:04.500 we'll find that the whoever does the counting and the way they organize the count is completely corrupted

00:50:10.500 my guess is that it is corrupted from top to bottom and really corrupted and i and i think that what this

00:50:18.980 country needs is some kind of a government in a box for the local the local part i feel like the country

00:50:27.540 needs some kind of a federal option where you could go to the go to the people in the town and say all

00:50:34.260 right detroit just picking detroit to pick on for a moment you citizens we're going to give you a

00:50:40.180 federal election that will not be managed by your locals and this federal election will ask you one

00:50:46.820 question would you like a government in a box for two years i'll just pick a random time if they say yes

00:50:55.540 and that's the federal government does the election not the locals if they say yes the federal government

00:51:00.980 comes in and for two years they replace the entire local government so all of the the corruption and the

00:51:08.180 bribes and everything stop because there's nobody to bribe anymore it's it's these federal people

00:51:14.180 government in a box and they're not going to stay that long and then it cleans everything up sets up a

00:51:21.460 credible government and then takes off after two years i feel like we might need it

00:51:27.700 uh you know i can't say that's a a well-developed idea so there might be some problems with that but

00:51:38.660 but it looks to me like as long as the cities can throw the national elections and it looks like

00:51:44.980 that's what's happening city governments doing that the locals um i don't know how we can have a good

00:51:51.220 government so we almost have to be able to have some mechanism to dismantle um corrupt city governments

00:52:00.100 according to lou dobbs the fbi is looking into the election but we don't know about that if the fbi is

00:52:05.060 looking into it that would suggest they have at least enough evidence to look into it

00:52:10.740 newt gingrich agreed with my tweet and as did others i asked the question why is it that uh it's not

00:52:23.060 considered a hate crime when trump supporters are attacked for simply being trump supporters shouldn't

00:52:29.700 that be a hate crime and i'm told that it's not a hate crime because it's not called out as a protected

00:52:36.660 group but apparently there's i'm not the only person who thinks that it should be and to me that's a

00:52:43.220 no-brainer because if you're attacking somebody for their political opinion a completely legal political

00:52:50.500 opinion that's a hate crime and it's a hate crime because the fake news gets people all worked up to

00:52:57.540 think that they're killing nazis or something so there is definitely hate involved um

00:53:03.460 here's a fake news story of the type we see all the time uh it's reported by let's see the new york

00:53:14.500 times reported this the reporting that trump asked last week asked his senior aides what possibilities

00:53:21.060 he had for an offensive strike on iran's primary nuclear site now if you see that story you say to

00:53:27.940 yourself oh wow the president wants to attack iran right that's how you would interpret it if he's

00:53:36.420 asking his aides about options for attacking iran your brain processes that as oh it looks like trump

00:53:44.260 wants to attack iran but these stories are all so illegitimate because if you're the um you know if

00:53:53.300 you're at the head of the military you should be asking this kind of question just routinely you

00:53:59.620 should always ask what are my options and if you're talking about iran one of the options is always attack

00:54:06.100 if you're the if you're the commander in chief of the united states shouldn't you always be checking

00:54:12.900 in to find out what your military options are for an active topic like iran do you think that

00:54:19.540 do you think that the israeli military do you think netanyahu has never asked his military

00:54:27.060 what options they have for attacking iran of course he has which doesn't mean he's planning to do it next

00:54:34.500 week it just means you have to know your options it doesn't mean anything except checking your options

00:54:40.660 and they turn it into a story and it's a non-story it should be just baseline nothing happened

00:54:46.580 checking your options is nothing happening that's nothing all right uh here's cnn with a little fake

00:54:56.500 news the wolf blitzer was reporting that lindsey graham was asking the secretary of state of georgia to

00:55:03.780 toss out legal votes do you think that lindsey graham asked anybody much less the uh you know georgia 0.54

00:55:15.380 officials do you think he asked anybody to throw out legal votes of course not of course not he believes

00:55:26.900 that some votes will be determined to be illegal because they don't meet some requirement of signature

00:55:32.500 or whatever the details are and that those would be illegal votes according to the laws of the land

00:55:38.900 or at least the laws of georgia and that georgia should follow its own law and then that gets

00:55:46.180 reported as lindsey graham wants to throw out legal votes no no that's not really what was happening here

00:55:55.300 here was an interesting story uh it's a van jones story saying that uh he is quoted as saying tuesday

00:56:02.900 night was devastating the polling had been suggesting there were that there would be just a wipeout of

00:56:08.740 trump and the fact that it wasn't a wipeout was crushing so here's what i get from that story so van

00:56:16.100 jones thought that the polls would be correct and that trump would be wiped out but why did van jones

00:56:25.540 think the polls think the polls would be correct there's something with this story that doesn't

00:56:31.220 make sense because um a lot of you believe again it's just allegations but a lot of you believe that

00:56:39.620 the polling was intentionally fraudulent for fundraising reasons or to depress trump votes or something

00:56:48.100 why didn't van jones think that why is it that you think you thought from all last year you thought

00:56:54.660 the polls were were fraudulent but why didn't van jones think they were fraudulent because based on his

00:57:01.780 answer i think he really thought they were real why why do you think they were real

00:57:09.860 well here is my assumption he wasn't in on the steel

00:57:16.340 so don't take this too seriously but if you imagine that it was all coordinated then you imagine that the

00:57:23.620 fake polls were coordinating with the people who faked the election so that the polls you know

00:57:29.940 somehow they'd all be on the same team but i don't think anybody talked i doubt that any election

00:57:38.020 fraud was so widely coordinated that there were meetings and you know zoom conversations and stuff

00:57:45.300 like that i think just everybody knew what they needed to do i think that the people handling the software

00:57:51.780 if they saw an opportunity they took it the people had handling the ballots if they saw an opportunity i think

00:57:58.580 they took it i think that's all it is but so many of them took it that now biden's vote total is 79

00:58:08.500 million and one of the things that uh critics are saying critics of trump and his supporters they're

00:58:16.340 saying that uh there's no evidence that the election was stolen to which i say define evidence

00:58:27.620 because i would i would acknowledge that there's no proof my understanding of how systems work is that

00:58:35.620 let's say in the legal system if there's evidence of a crime then you start the legal process

00:58:41.620 if the prime if that evidence does not turn into proof well then the person is innocent but you

00:58:48.740 don't say there's no evidence just because you couldn't get a conviction there's plenty of evidence

00:58:55.860 you know what the evidence is 79 million votes that's a lot of evidence could it be that there's another

00:59:04.180 explanation that it was just a really high turnout and biden got a lot of votes because people really

00:59:10.180 didn't like trump is that possible yeah of course that's possible but the evidence would suggest

00:59:21.220 there's something up because it's pretty big coincidence uh or maybe it's not a coincidence but

00:59:28.180 it would surprise a lot of people shall we say if that number held it would surprise a lot of people

00:59:35.300 people all right somebody says the vote count doesn't matter because it's a electoral college

00:59:45.540 it does matter in this limited context of figuring out if the vote itself was real or fake because the

00:59:54.500 total number of people voting that certainly would suggest there's something going on here

01:00:01.700 uh especially when you compare it to the size of biden's uh rallies if you look at the strength that

01:00:10.340 people wanted him to win he just didn't have the energy that would suggest 79 people 79 million

01:00:17.540 people showed up it just doesn't make sense so i would say there's plenty of evidence what there isn't yet

01:00:24.820 that is proof but there will be so i think that the world is going to get a little bit unraveled this

01:00:34.500 week because you're going to start to see the good stuff you know the actual uh valid stuff that holds

01:00:42.820 up and looks credible and you're gonna see it soon probably all this week uh so that's really going to change

01:00:51.380 stuff now one of the things i was worrying about uh when president trump brought uh dr scott atlas into the uh

01:01:02.340 into the office uh and put him on the corona task force i thought that i would eventually be confused with

01:01:09.060 him and sure enough i was so uh i tweeted an article that calls him dr scott adams now i knew i just knew

01:01:21.620 that i would get confused with him eventually because even when president trump says dr he goes scott atlas

01:01:29.860 when i'm listening to it live and i hear i'm just listening to trump you know while i'm doing

01:01:34.100 something else and i'll hear trump say and uh i'd like to introduce scott at and i'm like whoa it's the list

01:01:41.220 oh okay that's not me all right um hunter's laptop was hidden from view somebody says okay i don't

01:01:50.500 know how that's relevant 29 states will be forced into a hand recount some people say perhaps we shall

01:02:00.420 see all right uh i'm gonna say goodbye to periscopers i'll talk to you tomorrow 0.51

01:02:08.980 youtubers still with me 6.9 000 wow there's a lot of you here today

01:02:15.140 um scott would trump bluff this long if he had nothing he might he might uh just

01:02:25.700 because he doesn't like to lose maybe it keeps the issue alive he might but i don't think the thing

01:02:32.660 that surprises me is watching the attorneys i don't think you would see lynn wood or sydney powell or um

01:02:40.260 um or any of the lawyers i don't i don't think you would see them make such specific uh dangerous

01:02:49.140 claims unless they knew something

01:02:54.260 uh yeah rudy giuliani you you could maybe imagine that rudy giuliani was you know the president's guy

01:03:02.420 so maybe you could you could see him using a little hyperbole but you don't really see the other lawyers

01:03:08.420 necessarily buying into that i i feel like i don't feel like uh sydney powell or lynn wood would throw

01:03:16.260 away their careers making this kind of claim unless they knew there was some meat there slaughter meter 0.79

01:03:24.100 is 97 percent 97 percent um

01:03:31.380 yeah the other thing we keep learning is how many interconnections there are how many people are

01:03:36.500 connected to one thing and also connected to another thing and connected to voting it's uh pretty scary

01:03:46.260 um somebody says i feel like catherine says i feel like china is involved well again why wouldn't they

01:03:52.420 be why wouldn't they be they can send us fentanyl by the boat loads and coronavirus and 0.93

01:03:58.580 bad trade deals and steal our ip and nothing happens why would they why would they not try to ruin our

01:04:05.540 election it would make sense for them to try um what is the slaughter meter so the slaughter meter is a

01:04:12.980 is a momentary it's a slice of time that says how the election will go and at 100 it would say that trump

01:04:21.700 is 100 going to be re-elected now i think the slaughter meter has to be revised i think that we will learn

01:04:30.260 the election was stolen that's my prediction i think we will learn the election was stolen but

01:04:37.380 the mainstream media has the power to make that disappear and i think that's the way it's going to

01:04:43.860 go so i think that we will know that the election was stolen historians may record it that way but that

01:04:50.180 joe biden will probably take the office because the the mainstream media will just say oh yeah he won

01:04:58.660 and it just doesn't matter if it's not true they'll just say he did and then he'll take the office all

01:05:05.620 right

01:05:05.780 um what would happen if trump retook the white house in terms of riots well there would be great civil unrest

01:05:17.540 and so one of the plays that trump has available to him is to win the election and then resign

01:05:24.980 uh resign uh resign put pence in charge have pence uh pardon him for everything and then start a media

01:05:32.180 platform and and uh really have some power i gotta tell you it's a lot more fun criticizing things than

01:05:40.820 it is defending things so uh

01:05:46.100 um yeah if if biden takes office uh you also would be heading toward uh republican control of congress

01:05:56.500 fairly soon what about the phone calls i don't know uh any news on phone calls

01:06:06.260 all right that's all i got for now and i will talk to you tomorrow
