00:01:29.000Plus, you're going to save a bunch of money overall because Pure Talk Okay, so over the weekend, President Trump maintained his stance that Joe Biden won only because the election was rigged.
00:01:46.000The media, of course, jumped on the first couple of words of President Trump's tweet here to suggest that Trump was acknowledging that Biden won.
00:01:51.000That's not obviously what Trump is doing here.
00:01:53.000Okay, so there are a lot of allegations in this particular tweet.
00:01:55.000There's a legal process for the allegations to play out.
00:02:02.000Trump is making outsized claims there.
00:02:03.000which are won by a lot, the fake and silent media and more.
00:02:06.000OK, so there are a lot of allegations in this particular tweet.
00:02:09.000There's a legal process for the allegations to play out.
00:02:12.000And guess what? It is all going to play out.
00:02:14.000It will. Either the evidence will be shown or the evidence will not be shown.
00:02:17.000Trump is making outsized claims there.
00:02:18.000Those outsized claims are going to have to be actually proved in court in order for there to be any outcome different than Joe Biden being selected by the Electoral College.
00:02:27.000Well, President Trump's lawyer, Sidney Powell, She made waves over the weekend because she appeared on Fox News, and she suggested that there is evidence that is coming via a fire hose, she said.
00:02:38.000And she slammed Dominion voting systems.
00:02:39.000Dominion voting systems is, of course, the software that is used to tabulate votes around the country in 28 different states, including at least one county where votes were accidentally switched.
00:02:48.000Dominion said that it was by user error, that it was human error.
00:02:51.000The suggestion from Team Trump is that it's a systemic error inside the Dominion software system that makes it vulnerable to hack, and votes were actually changed.
00:02:58.000You're going to need some pretty heavy evidence for that, because the Kerry campaign back in 2004 suggested the same sort of thing happened with the Diebold machines.
00:03:04.000That turned out to be a bunch of nonsense.
00:03:06.000If you're going to make heavy allegations, you require heavy evidence.
00:03:08.000The heavier the allegations, the heavier the evidence.
00:03:10.000And Sidney Powell suggests she does have the evidence, which means that presumably she should bring it forth.
00:03:15.000We're either going to find out whether this is true or whether it is not true in the next few coming days.
00:03:19.000You do require evidence when you make severe allegations on their own are not enough to actually provide the evidentiary basis to overturn what appear to be election results.
00:03:27.000Anyway, here is Sidney Powell, the lawyer for President Trump, laying this out.
00:03:30.000And again, if she's right, then not only do we have probably the biggest scandal in American history on our hands, but we also have an overturned election.
00:03:38.000Here is Sidney Powell laying forth some allegations that are pretty steep.
00:03:42.000We have sworn witness testimony of why the software was designed.
00:04:17.000She suggested that Dominion, as a company, had systemic corruption issues.
00:04:21.000Rudy Giuliani, who's another one of the president's lawyers, he said the same thing.
00:04:24.000He said that Dominion is a radical left company, while appearing on Maria Bartiromo.
00:04:28.000Dominion is, of course, the software, as I say, that is used to tabulate the votes.
00:04:32.000Now, we'll get to the counterclaims in just one second.
00:04:35.000I don't think people have any idea of the dimension of the national security problem that Dominion creates.
00:04:41.000This Dominion company is a radical left company.
00:04:45.000One of the people there is a big supporter of Antifa and has written horrible things about the president for the last three or four years.
00:04:52.000And the software that they use is done by a company called Smartmatic.
00:04:57.000It's a company that was founded by Chavez.
00:05:00.000And by Chavez's two allies, who still own it.
00:05:04.000It's been used to cheat in elections in South America.
00:05:07.000Okay, so Dominion for its part denies that it's owned in any way or controlled in any way by the Venezuelan government.
00:05:13.000There have been similar claims that have been made about a couple of different software systems.
00:05:18.000One that was characterized as Scorecard and another one that was characterized as Hammer.
00:05:22.000would have been an intelligence supercomputer and the accompanying software scorecard.
00:05:27.000Sidney Powell did posit that there were manipulations of the vote using these particular instruments just about a week ago.
00:05:34.000That was denied by a variety of government agencies, including US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, the agency director, Chris Krebs, called that theory nonsense as well as a hoax.
00:05:43.000As far as Dominion voting systems switching votes, the allegation by people in the Trump team is that Dominion has software glitches that changed vote tallies in Michigan and Georgia.
00:05:54.000Dominion says that it was user mistakes and they were human errors and they were all auditable.
00:05:59.000Dominion's website says that all of these are auditable.
00:06:01.000You can go back, you can re-tabulate all the votes because all the votes are still available.
00:06:04.000Edward Perez is an election technology expert at the OSET Institute, a nonprofit that studies voting infrastructure and said many of the claims being asserted about Dominion and questionable voting technology is misinformation at best, in many cases outright disinformation.
00:06:15.000I'm not aware of any evidence or specific things or defects in Dominion software that would lead one to believe that votes had been recorded or counted incorrectly.
00:06:23.000However, there was a lot of talk over the weekend about the fact that, for example, Texas, which Trump did reference in his tweet, had turned down Dominion softwares because Dominion supposedly had hacker vulnerability and was capable of being opened up to the outside, that it had voting jam issues where you'd put in paper ballots, it would jam, and then you had to break the seal in order to retabulate the ballots.
00:06:47.000Once you've broken the seal, then you can mess around with the voting machine, theoretically.
00:06:50.000The Republican officials in a variety of states, including Georgia, have said this really is not a problem.
00:06:56.000With that said, this is all auditable.
00:06:59.000Once you get to the point where there's an allegation, as Sidney Powell was making, that you basically have digital systems that can be manually altered, basically, that you can hack in and you can just change with a couple of keystrokes, the vote totals, and that there's no way to check it, now you've reached the range of unfalsifiability.
00:07:15.000So if you're gonna reach that range, right, to the point where you can't audit it, there's no way to back check, There's no way to determine whether voter fraud has occurred.
00:07:22.000There's no way to determine whether the voting inputs are the same as the voting outputs.
00:07:25.000Well, now you've reached the realm of the religious.
00:07:27.000So in order to demonstrate that that happened, you actually do have to prove it.
00:07:30.000Because otherwise, that could be alleged about literally any election ever.
00:07:35.000And now, meanwhile, It is important to note that while President Trump in his tweet suggested that there had been this wave of election situations in which observers were not allowed, Republican observers were not allowed in the room to tabulate the ballots or to watch the tabulation of the ballots, his legal team in Pennsylvania has dumped that claim.
00:07:53.000So according to the Associated Press, ahead of a Tuesday hearing in the case, Trump's campaign dropped an allegation that hundreds of thousands of mail-in and absentee ballots, 682,479, were illegally processed without its representatives watching.
00:08:03.000The campaign's slimmed-down lawsuit filed in federal court on Sunday maintains the aim of blocking Pennsylvania for certifying victory for Biden in the state.
00:08:10.000It maintains the claim that Democratic voters were treated more favorably than Republican voters, and there are serious allegations and affidavits filed to the effect That Republican poll watchers were treated with disdain, that they were not allowed to pursue their vote watching in quite the same way as Democrats.
00:08:25.000But there was an allegation that hundreds of thousands of votes had been tabulated without a Republican observer in the room.
00:08:31.000Apparently, that allegation has now been dumped.
00:08:33.000The lawsuit charges that Democratic-heavy counties violated the law by identifying mail-in ballots before Election Day that had defects, such as lacking an inner secrecy envelope.
00:08:47.000The lawsuit says that Republican heavy counties followed the law, did not provide a notice and cure process, disenfranchising many.
00:08:55.000But the idea is that Democrats went ahead and just cured all of these ballots.
00:08:59.000Cliff Levine said it isn't clear how many voters were given a chance to cure their ballots, but he said it is certainly not 70,000, which is the margin that currently separates Biden and Trump in the raw vote count.
00:09:07.000Now, remember, again, you can show voter irregularities, but unless you actually show that it overcomes the gap in a particular state, that state's result is not going to be overturned.
00:09:17.000So Republican lawyers have now acknowledged in separate federal court proceeding they had certified observers watching mail-in ballots being processed in Philadelphia.
00:09:24.000A couple things that need to be mentioned here.
00:09:25.000Trump did actually outperform in a couple of cities, okay?
00:09:29.000He actually did outperform in a couple of cities, Detroit and Philadelphia.
00:09:32.000So if all the voter fraud was happening in Detroit and Philadelphia, what you would assume is that those would be places where he actually underperformed vis-a-vis Hillary Clinton last time around.
00:09:40.000But in fact, he actually overperformed in Detroit and Philadelphia and a bunch of other cities he underperformed.
00:09:44.000He also underperformed in a lot of the suburbs, okay?
00:10:16.000And she did a good job for Michael Flynn.
00:10:17.000If it turns out that she has reams and reams of evidence demonstrating that Dominion voting systems actually had their ballots changed, right?
00:10:23.000Or that there are millions or hundreds of thousands of outstanding ballots that were changed or hacked or something like that.
00:10:31.000Outsized evidence needs to be provided of allegations that are serious enough to shift the outcome of a presidential election, especially when the vote gaps in many of these states are rather large, right?
00:10:40.000You're looking at Pennsylvania, a vote gap currently of 70,000 votes.
00:10:43.000In Michigan, you're looking at a vote gap of 150,000 votes.
00:10:45.000In Arizona, you're looking at 13,000 votes.
00:10:47.000In Georgia, you're looking at 14,000 votes.
00:10:49.000Nothing is going to happen via recount.
00:10:50.000Recount is not the avenue by which Trump overturns those election results.
00:10:54.000That's not what's going to change things here.
00:10:56.000What could change things here is evidence.
00:11:04.000Just as I declare when it comes to arguments of systemic police racism, you have to provide evidence in an individual case of racism.
00:11:10.000You can't just say racism is in the system.
00:11:13.000When it comes to voter fraud and voter irregularity, it's not enough just to say voter fraud and voter irregularity is sort of out there in the system.
00:11:18.000You need specific allegations that are backed by specific evidence so that we can all be on the same page.
00:11:24.000Because there's been a lot of talk about how people on the right want to make sure that the elections are secure.
00:11:29.000Okay, well, what happens if the election were to be theoretically overturned on the basis of allegations that are provided in non-evidentiary fashion, right?
00:11:37.000You need evidence on all of these things.
00:11:39.000I assume that Sidney Powell, being, I presume, a serious person, is going to now bring a bunch of evidence to support the allegations that she makes that shifted the election dramatically.
00:11:49.000So, we'll bring you more on this in just one second.
00:11:52.000First, let us talk about the fact that your sleep quality may have been compromised, I don't know, since like March, given the fact that the entire world seems to have caved in about your years.
00:11:59.000Well, this is why you need a mattress that is made just for you.
00:12:53.000Okay, so given the fact that there are these outstanding allegations, and again, these are pretty significant allegations, and you need to back them with significant evidence.
00:13:00.000And we have a process that's going to play out.
00:13:01.000In fact, Sidney Powell was specifically asked, do you have enough time before the election is certified to get all of the evidence out?
00:13:08.000And she said, it's coming in via fire hose.
00:13:13.000You make an allegation and now you provide the evidence.
00:13:16.000And I think that it is worthwhile pointing out what information we have right now, because there's some rumors that are going around that are true and some that are not true.
00:13:23.000I mean, we know, for example, that in Antrim County, Michigan, we know that there was some sort of error.
00:13:30.000Okay, the folks who are alleging otherwise suggest that it was not, that it was systemic error, okay, in which 6,000 votes were shifted from the Democrats to the Republican.
00:13:38.000This was caught at the county level, and then it was reversed, right?
00:13:41.000The votes were shifted away from the Democrat and back to the Republican the way they should have been.
00:13:46.000The allegation on the part of Team Trump is that this has been happening all over the country.
00:13:49.000That should be able to be checked, right?
00:13:50.000They were able to check it in Antrim County.
00:13:51.000You should be able to check it elsewhere.
00:13:57.000If we are to hear that there are irregularities in Georgia, let's check it.
00:14:00.000Let's make sure that it is all locked down.
00:14:01.000There have been allegations that the vote counts from Dominion are sent up north to Canada before they are certified.
00:14:07.000My understanding is that that's not the case, that usually these vote counts are certified and tabulated at the county level, which means that they are checkable and they are auditable.
00:15:18.000The President has fired his Defense Secretary and is filling the Defense Department with loyalists, some of whom traffic In conspiracy theories.
00:15:26.000If this were happening anywhere else, our State Department would be issuing grim reports about the future of that country's democracy.
00:15:52.000This idea that everything is at an end, that Trump is, again, this is a self-justifying narrative put forward by the left because the left has blown its credibility to smithereens over the past four years on the principle that Donald Trump is an orange Hitler.
00:16:06.000And so they have to maintain that what he's doing right now is Hitlerian activity when, in effect, it will either be one of two things.
00:16:11.000Either he will end up being justified, Right, either he'll end up being justified and there'll be massive voter fraud uncovered, or he won't be justified and then he'll be moved out.
00:16:19.000There is no third option where he holds up in the Oval Office.
00:16:22.000This is actually leftist fantasy thinking, right?
00:16:24.000What they've been wanting for four years.
00:16:25.000I mean, they literally fantasized about this online.
00:16:27.000You can find them telling like these fan fiction stories of various figures ranging from Robert Mueller to the Marshal of the Supreme Court marching into the White House and frog marching out President Trump.
00:16:37.000Like, none of that is going to happen.
00:16:54.000No, she's not the actual acting governor of Georgia, so no.
00:16:56.000She's just a lady who wanders around telling people she's the governor of Georgia, which is no different than a person wandering around the streets of LA claiming to be Napoleon.
00:17:13.000What's really a threat to democracy is the fact that the media continue to purport to say that whenever a person they don't like loses, that it's voter fraud, voter suppression.
00:17:21.000And when somebody they don't like wins, or when someone they like goes ahead and wins, then of course the process is pure and clean.
00:17:30.000But just file this one under everything I don't like is a threat to democracy.
00:17:36.000We'll get to more of this in just one second.
00:17:38.000First, let us talk about the fact With this holiday season, you're gonna be using the mail a lot.
00:17:42.000Given the fact that COVID is spiking, people are traveling less, and there's a lot of concern about being in person for various family events, you're gonna be using the mail an awful lot.

00:18:37.000Once your mail is ready, just schedule a pickup or drop it off.
00:19:31.000But no, everything I don't like is a threat.
00:19:33.000So everything literally is a threat to democracy.
00:19:35.000Brian Stelter at CNN, he now suggests that if conservatives dump out of Twitter because Twitter is in fact biased against conservatives, which it clearly, clearly is, in the lead up to the election, Twitter banned the New York Post for putting out a true story about Hunter Biden.
00:19:51.000So, many members of the conservative community have been heading on over to Parler.
00:19:55.000Here is Brian Stelter suggesting it is a threat to democracy if conservatives join Parler, which is crazy.
00:20:01.000People are going more and more into their own echo chambers, more and more into their own bubbles, especially Trump voters.
00:20:07.000There's this new social media app called Parler getting a lot of attention because conservatives are saying they're leaving Twitter and Facebook, going off to Parler because they believe Parler is a safer space for them.
00:20:18.000What we're seeing is even more of a bunker mentality in right-wing media, and ultimately that's not good for the country.
00:20:58.000So now you're mad that conservatives are responding to complete left-wing dominance of media and social media by forming their own companies and their own corporations?
00:21:16.000And demonstrating the full-on dishonesty that characterizes the left.
00:21:19.000Anna Navarro, the quote-unquote Republican over at CNN, she got very upset over the weekend because Mary Catherine Hamm talked about the fact that, you know, all of you people on CNN who are like going crazy over the fact that Trump won't concede the election, you're still calling Stacey Abrams the governor of Georgia, and Anna Navarro got super, super mad.
00:21:36.000Do we think if Trump did not concede, which would be, I think we can all agree, wrong, that if he started an effective GOTV non-profit that we would all be giving him magazine covers and good coverage?
00:21:47.000No, I don't think that would be right.
00:21:48.000And yet it happens on the other side, and I think he sees that very clearly.
00:21:52.000I just don't think that there's a total comparison there, but let's move on because I don't want to make this, you know, President Trump versus Stacey Abrams.
00:22:08.000You made her the face of your movement.
00:22:10.000You suggested she's a heroine of the Republic after she declared that she was governor of Georgia after losing by 50,000 votes, three times as many votes as Trump is currently trailing Joe Biden for in an election that didn't have nearly as many votes.
00:22:44.000Who once wrote a letter asking for clemency for terrorists because the United States system is so brutal and terrible.
00:22:51.000Who once suggested that 9-11 was a thing that happened.
00:22:53.000Ilhan Omar says that she and the Democratic Party, she's on MSNBC of course, they're a unifying force against darkness, the Democratic Party.
00:23:00.000As we will see, that unifying force against darkness involves people just looking the other way while BLM and Antifa thugs just assault people in the streets.
00:23:10.000We owe it to the movement to make sure that the chaos they voted against does not follow us to our caucus and to make sure that the justice they seek is implemented in the policies that we advocate for.
00:23:24.000I know that Biden invited the American people to be a unifying force against darkness.
00:23:36.000Biden has been invited to be a unifying force against darkness.
00:23:40.000In fact, says the squad, the people who are really stoking the violence out there are people like Trump.
00:23:45.000It's people like Trump and people on the right who are stoking the violence.
00:23:47.000And so we're here to bring an end to the violence in the most peaceful and prosperous possible way, says the Honorable Representative Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez Dee dancing.
00:23:58.000I already believe that President Trump is already stoking the flames of violence, as he has done for several years.
00:24:10.000We saw even with the ballot counts that were happening in Philadelphia, his rhetoric and his attacks on our institutions and our systems inspired, very likely inspired, a group of what seems like domestic terrorists to attempt to attack where ballots were being counted in Philadelphia.

00:26:10.000Okay, so the narrative from the left, whatever Trump does is a threat to democracy.
00:26:29.000So CNN's Anna Cabrera is a great example of somebody in the news who only wants to talk about how people she doesn't like are bad, but everybody she likes is good and we can't talk about those people even if they're doing the exact same things as the people we don't like.
00:26:41.000Here's Anna Cabrera getting very offended when Mary Katherine Hamm points out that Stacey Abrams is still going around claiming to be governor of Georgia.
00:26:47.000The president's supporters, they've poured into the streets of Washington this weekend to try to give life to these unfounded and baseless claims of a rigged election.
00:26:55.000I mean, we literally had far-right groups, like the Proud Boys, marching down Pennsylvania Avenue.
00:27:05.000Okay, so my favorite thing is that people on CNN are saying, how did these marches of people that we don't particularly like, how did that become normal?
00:27:13.000Well, I mean, maybe one way that it became normal for marches of people that you don't like to happen is because this is the United States, and lots of marches with people you disagree with happen in the United States.
00:27:22.000Also, you guys didn't seem to have a problem when people were burning and looting cities.
00:27:25.000You were declaring those were mostly peaceful.
00:27:27.000You were declaring that that was not a problem at all.
00:27:29.000I mean, we watched Kenosha burn for no reason at all, and you guys were like, well, you know, America is systemically racist.
00:27:33.000Okay, so President Trump drives by the Million Maga March on his way to golf.
00:27:37.000Here's a little bit of video of President Trump going by in his motorcade.
00:28:00.000The real story is that Antifa and BLM showed up and naturally violence ensued.
00:28:05.000This is the way that it usually works.
00:28:06.000Usually what happens here is that there is some sort of Trump rally, some sort of Trump event, and then people from BLM and Antifa show up and then confrontation naturally ensues.
00:28:19.000Some of these confrontations are from sort of the most aggressive members of the Trump crowd and BLM Antifa.
00:28:23.000And sometimes it's just BLM and Antifa beating the hell out of innocent people, like people who are not confrontational in any way.
00:28:29.000Here was some of the videos that were happening.
00:28:33.000You can see that there's this guy who's getting in confrontations with members of Antifa and BLM.
00:28:44.000He's confronting a bunch of people and he's hit in the back of the head and knocked to the ground.
00:28:51.000And they steal his cell phone as well, people kicking him while he's down.
00:28:54.000So all sorts of wonderful things happening in Washington, D.C.
00:28:57.000There's a man walking, literally just walking with his MAGA hat, people jumping at him, people assaulting him.
00:29:03.000Him just kind of standing there while people crowd around him to do violence to him.
00:29:08.000Very classy stuff happening in Washington, D.C.
00:29:43.000Trump's people are the violent people.
00:29:44.000This is what we've been told by the media.
00:29:46.000We've been told that it's Trump's people who are the violent ones.
00:29:48.000As opposed to, you know, BLM and Antifa showing up.
00:29:50.000So, where was Captain Healing and Unity?
00:29:53.000Seriously, where was Captain Healing and Unity?
00:29:55.000Joe Biden has spent the entire campaign avoiding condemning BLM, despite the fact that dozens of BLM quote-unquote protests have broken out into riots.
00:30:04.000He spent the entire campaign completely ignoring the fact that Antifa is a violent group, instead suggesting it's more of like a philosophy, like a generalized philosophy, which is a really cheap way of getting out of having to condemn the most radical members of your base.
00:30:17.000But radicalism is the theme among Democrats, right?
00:30:20.000The real battle right now is not happening between the right and the left.
00:30:23.000The real battle is supposedly happening inside the Democratic Party.
00:30:25.000I've been suggesting that there is no battle.
00:30:27.000That a lot of what's happening inside the Democratic Party right now is a shadow battle.
00:30:31.000That basically the only battle is whether Joe Biden and company can keep a lid on the simmering pot of discontent that is the Democratic base, or whether eventually they're just hijacked by that base.
00:30:43.000And you can see it happening in real time.
00:30:45.000I don't think that Joe Biden has the passion to actually contain that.
00:30:49.000I think there's a pressure cooker, the Democratic Party.
00:30:51.000And I think that Joe Biden and others have assumed that if you turn up the temperature on the pressure cooker, well, all that's going to do is cook the meat thoroughly.
00:30:58.000But eventually what ends up happening is the pressure cooker blows.
00:31:00.000And I think that that pressure cooker is not likely to remain in stasis for very long.
00:31:05.000We'll get to that in just one moment first.
00:31:07.000Let's talk about the fact that America is an underdog story.
00:31:09.000America begins on the basis of underdogs overtaking the most mighty empire in the history of the world at the time.
00:31:17.000And America is a place where underdogs get ahead.
00:31:20.000It's a place where people can rise from the most abject poverty to the greatest levels of success.
00:31:25.000Barack Obama and Oprah Winfrey are great examples of this.
00:31:27.000Well, there is a great podcast that is now out called True Underdog.
00:31:31.000Raised in a trailer park with no clear path to success, kicked out of high school multiple times, faced with becoming a father in his teens, Jason Waller is the definition of a true underdog.

00:31:50.000As Waller, a four-time Entrepreneur of the Year winner, shares motivational tips and inspiring stories, business building lessons from the ground up.
00:31:56.000He shares his life experiences and that of his high-profile guests to help others better themselves.
00:32:00.000As Waller will tell you, there's no elevator to success.
00:32:02.000That climb only happens one step at a time.

00:32:25.000Okay, in just a second, we'll talk about the simmering discontent within the Democratic Party, how Joe Biden has been attempting to contain it and use that power in his favor.
00:32:36.000If you were not already disgusted by legacy media, you certainly should be.
00:32:39.000The media preemptively called the election in favor of Joe Biden like the night of.
00:32:42.000And now they are claiming that democracy is at stake because we have a legal process playing out just because you have members of the media saying it over and over and over.
00:32:54.000CNN does not like anybody who even considered voting for President Trump.
00:32:58.000And the media are already Gaslighting you.
00:33:00.000They've already shifted from demonizing Trump for four years and his supporters and calling them racist, sexist, bigot, homophobes to flattering Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and just massaging them.
00:33:15.000Magazine covers of Jill Biden and her wardrobe.

00:34:59.000or listening to the largest, fastest growing conservative podcast and radio show in the nation.
00:35:09.000If you are a member of the left, and you're suggesting that the right is violent and all of this, okay, what you're really suggesting when you say that Joe Biden is Captain Peace and Harmony, and then he ignores Antifa, and he ignores BLM, and when you have the honorable right representative, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, suggesting that she is an emissary of healing, all the while fostering discontent at the system, and suggesting America is systemically racist, the reality is that there is a battle that's going on.
00:35:34.000It's inside the Democratic Party, and it's to keep a lid On the bubbling waters of discontent inside the Democratic base.
00:35:48.000There's been a movement inside the Democratic Party since the 1960s to say the entire system needs to be torn down to the ground.
00:35:54.000And that system was largely, that system of thought was largely disowned in the 1990s by Bill Clinton and sort of moderate Democrats.
00:36:00.000And then it came bubbling back to the surface in the form of Barack Obama, who suggested that the system was in fact unworthy and terrible.
00:36:06.000He was the only person who was worthy to actually shift the system.
00:36:08.000So if you didn't like him, Then it's because you were very, very bad, but he was going to radically change the system and transform the nation.
00:36:15.000And then he left office and the system became fully bad again.
00:37:13.000This is just not very long ago, suggesting that America must repent its worship of whiteness.
00:37:18.000This is the guy that Democrats decided should represent them in the Senate seat of Georgia.
00:37:22.000This is in a sermon delivered shortly before the 2016 presidential election at the Candler School of Theology in Atlanta.
00:37:30.000And if it is true that a man who has dominated the news and poisoned the discussion for months needs to repent, Then it is doubly true that a nation that can produce such a man and make his vitriol go viral needs to repent.
00:37:46.000No matter what happens next month, more than a third of the nation that would go along with this is reason to be afraid.
00:37:54.000America needs to repent for its worship of whiteness!
00:37:58.000Anybody who doesn't vote like Raphael Warnock wants them to vote is worshipping whiteness.
00:38:04.000And then he also preaches Marxism, right?
00:38:06.000Here was Raphael Warnock again, not particularly long ago, right?
00:38:10.000Talking about this sort of Marxist theory of the world.
00:38:15.000He also calls Jesus a poor Palestinian prophet, which is just anti-Semitic nonsense.
00:38:19.000If by Palestinian, you mean that until very recently, the term Palestinian meant Jew, which is true.
00:38:24.000Historically speaking, the Jerusalem Post was called the Palestine Post, and it was called that because it was a British mandate Palestine.
00:38:31.000The term Palestinian did not even exist in Jesus's day.
00:38:35.000Jesus lived when the temple was still standing.
00:38:41.000What in the world is this revisionist history that literally makes no sense?
00:38:44.000The term Palestine was come up with by the Romans when they destroyed the temple and then dissipated the Jewish presence in the land of Israel.
00:38:51.000And to punish the Jews, they decided to name Palestine after the Jews' historical enemy, the Philistines, as a punishment to the Jews.
00:39:08.000He said, well, I'm not a Marxist, but I know a few Marxists and they're pretty good people.
00:39:12.000So hard to discover and to hear an authentic vision and voice of authentic spirituality that gives voice to the least of these.
00:39:21.000And when it shows up, people describe it as some strange ideology rather than the vision of that poor Palestinian prophet who said that the spirit of the Lord is upon me.
00:39:38.000Jesus did believe in private property existing.
00:39:44.000And when it says in the New Testament that the disciples held things in common, that is because they were a group, a small group of people who were holding their possessions in common, not because that was supposed to be a model for an entire society crammed down by the government.
00:39:54.000In any case, you don't even have to rebut this stupidity.
00:39:57.000That is who the Democratic Party has decided to trot forth.
00:39:59.000And they want that person to be a senator.
00:40:02.000You have folks on the left, they'll talk about how, you know, the right, they refuse to cleanse their own party.
00:40:05.000OK, we are the party, the Republican Party, that refused to elect Roy Moore in Alabama and handed that seat to a Democrat because we didn't want somebody sitting in the Senate who is trolling the food court for 14 year olds.
00:40:17.000And we're the party that told Steve King to get lost and then replaced him.
00:40:21.000Kevin Feenstra is now going to fill that congressional seat.
00:40:25.000But the Democratic Party is fine with running people like Raphael Warnock.
00:40:29.000Jake Tapper had him on CNN, and he asked him about the fact that he attended a speech by Fidel Castro in 1995, and Warnock would not answer, nor would he condemn Castro.
00:40:39.000I mean, this is pretty amazing stuff here.
00:40:41.000Do you understand why there are so many people who view Castro as a murderous tyrant and not someone to be celebrated?
00:41:18.000But the Democratic Party refuses to acknowledge its own radicalism.
00:41:21.000So Nancy Pelosi, the radicalism of the Democratic Party, make no mistake, that's the reason why they almost lost the House in an election where they were supposed to gain 10 seats.
00:41:27.000They nearly lost control of the House.
00:41:29.000So Nancy Pelosi was specifically asked about this.
00:41:31.000Do you accept any blame for the fact that your party experienced a flaming defeat in a year when they were supposed to walk away with this thing?
00:41:38.000I mean, If the ballots are certified and the election goes forward as currently counted, Joe Biden won 5 million more votes than Donald Trump, right?
00:41:47.000If that election ends up being certified the way that it currently stands in the vote count.
00:41:51.000And the Democrats lost 10 seats in that same election.
00:42:39.000If the future of the country relies on the possibility of open conversation, what that means is that the future of the country relies on traditional liberals rejecting the radical left in favor of conservatives.
00:42:50.000That doesn't mean they have to become conservative.
00:42:52.000But right now, let's say that you have conservatives who are in favor of open discussion.
00:43:10.000And then you have traditional liberals.
00:43:12.000Traditional liberals, I would characterize as people who disagree with me on tax policy and on the role of government, but agree with the basic old ACLU statement, the old ACLU paraphrase of Voltaire, that I may disagree with what you say, but I'll die for your right to say it.
00:43:27.000Would they rather follow the policy utopia presented by the radical left, many of whose policies they agree with, or would they rather side with conservatives to preserve fundamental rights?
00:43:39.000The radical left doesn't believe in fundamental American rights.
00:43:41.000They just want the government-provided utopia that never is going to arrive.
00:43:46.000Liberals like a lot of the policy prescriptions of the radical left, but they presumably also want the fundamental rights of freedom of speech and freedom of the press and freedom of assembly actually maintained.
00:43:55.000And so now they are forced to the decision because the radical left doesn't like any of those things.
00:43:59.000So the question is which way they are going to go.
00:44:01.000And I think it's fairly obvious which way they are leaning.
00:44:04.000I don't think Joe Biden has the cojones to stand up to this.
00:44:05.000I don't think Joe Biden has the cojones to stand up to the radical left and say, listen, we should be still having open conversations with people on the right.
00:44:12.000I think that he's much more comfortable in Barack Obama's world of declaring everybody to his right a deplorable and a bad person.
00:44:18.000The Overton window should only include people who are mainstream liberals and or radical leftists, but never anybody who is slightly to the right of center.
00:44:26.000Okay, so if you believe that the bleeding edge of the Democratic Party is the radical left movement, which I think is pretty obvious at this point, then we should take a look at the sort of stuff they've been pushing.
00:44:36.000Over the weekend, according to Mary Margaret Olihan reporting for The Daily Caller, a transgender professor at the University of California at Berkeley urged followers on Saturday to steal and burn a book detailing an investigation into transgenderism trends.
00:44:51.000Berkeley Associate Professor Grace Lavery tweeted Saturday, quote, since some people have misunderstood my tone and censorship is an important matter, and as a public educator, I have a duty to be precise. Let me clarify. I do not advocate defacing library books. I do encourage followers to steal Abigail Schreier's book and burn it on a pyre. Please make sure you use a safe pyre and that you have an extinguisher on hand.
00:45:11.000Be safe when you are burning books. Remember, all you're doing is removing a commodity from circulation, much as one might destroy a contaminated crop or take action if a distributor failed to do so. And what is being discussed here?
00:45:27.000And the book concerns the bizarre phenomenon of rapid-onset gender dysphoria.
00:45:33.000The book's called Irreversible Damage to the Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters.
00:45:37.000She doesn't argue that if you're a fully grown adult and you want to have a transgender surgery, you shouldn't be able to.
00:45:40.000She argues that children should not be subjected to this sort of mutilation when they are not capable of making this sort of decision.
00:45:46.000Also, she points out a phenomenon that is now fairly well established in the scientific literature, that you have a sort of A sort of pathological craze in which you'll have a group of girls and one girl will decide that she is transgender and suddenly all the girls in the group will decide that they are transgender.
00:46:00.000This was first documented by a sociologist and psychologist over at Brown and the results were so controversial that Brown tried to bury the study.
00:46:18.000Lavery said, I don't think books are a special type of commodity.
00:46:20.000For example, the idea of burning a laptop doesn't seem to elicit the same moral horror, but it's the same principle, disposing of a copy, not the original.
00:46:26.000The horror seems to derive from the idea that a book represents unalienated labor, but of course, it doesn't.
00:46:31.000And then she says, if you think I was sincerely encouraging people to burn books, I suggest you look around and see how many books were actually burned.
00:46:39.000Either my words weren't taken seriously because I was misunderstood, or they were meant not to be taken seriously.
00:46:43.000You can figure this out for yourselves.
00:46:45.000She calls the title of Schreyer's book fascist, and says the burning of the official text of the ruling class might well be considered an act of popular liberation.
00:46:59.000Remember that organization I mentioned a moment ago?
00:47:01.000The American Civil Liberties Union is now suggesting the suppression of Abigail Schreier's book.
00:47:07.000So, Abigail Schreier writes about this for the Wall Street Journal.
00:47:13.000Apparently, Chase Strangio, the ACLU Deputy Director for Transgender Justice, tweeted on Friday, quote, Abigail Schreier's book is a dangerous polemic with a goal of making people not trans.
00:47:24.000Well, I mean, presumably, according to Chase Strangio, there is no way to make people not trans, so why would that even be effective?
00:47:28.000I think of all the times and ways I was told my transness wasn't real and the daily toll it takes, we have to fight these ideas which are leading to the criminalization of trans life again.
00:47:36.000Then, stopping the circulation of this book and these ideas is 100% a hill I will die on.
00:47:44.000So this is now a lawyer for the ACLU The Deputy Director for Transgender Justice at the American Civil Liberties Union saying stopping the circulation of a book is 100% a hill I will die on.
00:47:59.000And this is not, by the way, anything remotely out of bounds on college campuses, right?
00:48:04.000Stopping people from disseminating views you don't like is not remotely a thing.
00:48:08.000It's not a big deal at all on college campuses.
00:48:11.000It's now not a big deal on the media either.
00:48:12.000And in social media, this is the problem.
00:48:14.000All of the institutions of our society are gonna be militarized against material the left doesn't like, and liberals are not gonna fight against it.
00:48:20.000How many liberals are gonna stand up and say, you know what?
00:48:37.000Neutral areas and neutral arenas that were supposed to allow all sorts of material, they're no longer neutral.
00:48:43.000Perfect example, Luke Rosiak, an investigative reporter, he tweeted out that MailChimp, okay, MailChimp is an email delivery service.
00:48:50.000It's used for group emails and it keeps track of, you know, emails that are coming in.
00:48:54.000Let's say that you are a public action committee and you send out an email to people, you can see what your reception rate is and all that kind of stuff.
00:49:03.000MailChimp, apparently, according to Luke, a common email delivery service, has refused to provide service to the Northern Virginia Tea Party, citing that it violates their terms of agreement about quote-unquote potential misinformation.
00:49:13.000What had the Northern Virginia Tea Party done?
00:49:16.000They'd attempted to notify members about a recount rally.
00:49:19.000Okay, so in other words, they are now going to make it so that you cannot even distribute email unless those emails are approved by the woke staffers, at particular nonpartisan email servers This is going to be carried forward.
00:49:33.000We're experiencing this here at Daily Wire.
00:49:35.000I'll bring you more details on that later this week.
00:49:36.000But we have major services that are now saying they will not carry our podcast because presumably they don't like the content of our podcast.
00:49:42.000It doesn't matter that we're not saying anything that is untrue.
00:49:45.000It doesn't matter that we're not saying anything illegal.
00:49:48.000We are now going to get supposedly neutral Platforms that are militarized against conservatives.
00:49:55.000You're going to see this with credit cards, right?
00:49:56.000You're going to see credit card companies start to say that you're not able to use your credit card to charge a gun, for example.
00:50:02.000You're not going to be able to use your credit.
00:50:03.000There are already credit card companies, I believe, that do this.
00:50:05.000You're not going to be able to use your credit card or your bank account to pursue certain transactions.
00:50:09.000What you're going to end up with, because of the left, is two separate centers of commerce, one for conservatives and one for liberals.
00:50:17.000This is the direction in which the radical left is moving.
00:50:20.000And our media, which are supposed to be for free speech, our media, which are supposed to be for the free exchange of ideas, they are pushing this forward in every available way.
00:51:39.000One of the great irritating things about President Obama is that everything Barack Obama says about other people actually applies to Barack Obama.
00:51:45.000So Barack Obama, with Scott Pelley, and if you ever believed that the media were objective, all you would have to do is watch the way the media interview Barack Obama as opposed to how they interview President Trump, right?
00:51:56.000Every question to President Trump is why he's such a bad, terrible, bad, orange, bad, terrible man.
00:52:00.000Every question to Barack Obama is whether they can lick his feet.
00:52:04.000Really, like, Barack, can we please come over there?
00:52:12.000So, he was on with Scott Pelley over at CBS News, and Barack Obama suggested that President Trump is an incipient dictator.
00:52:19.000Which is weird, because according to Barack Obama, he's going to be out of office in two months, so what's the big deal?
00:52:23.000Here's Barack Obama, a man who centralized power in the executive branch like no president of my lifetime, declaring that his successor, who actually didn't centralize all that much power in the executive branch, is actually a dictator.
00:52:33.000There has been this sense over the last several years that literally anything goes and is justified in order to get power.
00:52:46.000And that's not unique to the United States.
00:52:51.000There are strongmen and dictators around the world who think that I can do anything to stay in power.
00:53:21.000Donald Trump is not a press journalist.
00:53:23.000Donald Trump made the journalism industry great again.
00:53:26.000He's got millions of subscribers over the New York Times.
00:53:29.000He's the only thing saving the old establishment media.
00:53:33.000This guy suggesting that Donald Trump is a threat to democracy?
00:53:37.000Captain, I'll drone anything I don't like overseas.
00:53:40.000Mister, I'll start a war in Libya without congressional approval.
00:53:43.000Captain, I'll just randomly, by executive order, redefine all of America's immigration policy, even though I've acknowledged multiple times that I cannot.
00:53:51.000Mr. If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor.
00:53:55.000That's the problem, is that Trump's dishonest.
00:53:57.000See, the thing about Barack Obama that's so irritating and what's so hilarious about Donald Trump's election in 2016 is that Donald Trump is just the bizarro world version of Barack Obama.
00:54:05.000Barack Obama liked to think of himself as genteel and conciliatory, and he is not.
00:54:09.000He's an overt, partisan, narcissistic jackass.
00:54:12.000Okay, when he looks across the aisle at Donald Trump, he sees all the things that he doesn't want to be, but actually is.
00:54:17.000So here is Barack Obama saying that President Trump, you know, says unserious things and he lies a lot.
00:54:24.000Barack Obama is a much smoother liar, which in many ways makes him much more dangerous than Trump.
00:54:28.000Here he is, you know, maligning Trump's honesty.
00:54:30.000Again, being an incredibly dishonest human being.
00:54:33.000Donald Trump often raises eyebrows when he says he's done more for black America and people of color.
00:54:46.000I think it's fair to say that there are many things he says that I do not take personally or seriously.
00:54:54.000Although I think they can often be destructive and harmful.
00:54:57.000Oh yeah, talk to me about destructive and harmful language.
00:55:00.000Mr. The Cambridge Police acted stupidly.
00:55:03.000America is filled with systemic racism.
00:55:04.000Everybody that I don't like is a bad person.
00:55:06.000In his memoirs, he tells the story about how he and Michelle Obama were watching the Tea Party on TV and Michelle Obama turned off the TV and then angrily said something to him like, can you believe so many people are filled with hate?
00:55:16.000The Tea Party, which was about government spending.
00:55:19.000This guy declaring that his successor is polarizing and dishonest is honestly, it's pretty incredible.
00:55:24.000Barack Obama was the guy who divided the country, not Donald Trump.
00:55:27.000Donald Trump didn't heal the country, but Barack Obama started this fight.
00:55:30.000Okay, and the Democratic Party continues along those lines.
00:55:32.000Any notion the Democratic Party is gonna bring us all together, it's completely insane.
00:55:36.000The byproduct of this story, that you'll see over the next couple weeks as Barack Obama tries to sell, volume one of his memoir, which is 768 pages.
00:55:44.000Again, as I say, God didn't take so long in the five books of Moses.
00:55:49.000But this jerk, he's going to be trotting this out and the media are just going to be massaging him.
00:55:54.000They're going to get out the massage oils and really go to town.
00:56:00.000OK, meanwhile, they're going to simply malign anything Trump says.
00:56:03.000So the media coverage over the weekend was all about President Trump talking about vaccines.
00:56:07.000So great news, by the way, on the vaccine front.
00:56:10.000There are new vaccines that are being developed pretty much every week now.
00:56:14.000According to dailywire.com, Ryan Saavedra reporting a new Moderna vaccine that was developed in conjunction with the Trump administration's Operation Warp Speed is nearly 95% effective, according to the company.
00:56:25.000According to CNBC, the analysis evaluated 95 confirmed COVID-19 infections among the trial's 30,000 participants.
00:56:31.000Moderna, which developed its vaccine in collaboration with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said 90 cases of COVID-19 were observed in the placebo group versus 5 cases observed in the group that received its two-dose vaccine.
00:56:43.000That resulted in an estimated vaccine efficacy of 94.5%.
00:56:47.000The news came after the Trump administration's Operation Warp Speed awarded Moderna a $1.5 billion contract in August to ramp up manufacturing and deliver 100 million vaccine doses enough for 50 million people.
00:56:58.000By the way, the suggestion is that we may have as many as 35 million doses that are available by the end of the year of these various vaccines.
00:57:06.000So we can start getting this into circulation.
00:57:08.000So over the weekend, Trump was asked, he did a presser on Friday about the vaccine, and he was asked about New York.
00:57:14.000And he said, listen, we'll send them the vaccine when they're ready.
00:57:15.000But we've been told by Andrew Cuomo, the governor over there, that he wants to vet the vaccine himself.
00:57:19.000So I'm just not going to send a bunch of vaccine to molder in the refrigerators and fall apart while he doesn't allow it to be approved for use.
00:57:26.000Here's what Trump had to say about vaccines.
00:57:28.000He doesn't trust the fact that it's this White House, this administration.
00:57:31.000So we won't be delivering it to New York until we have authorization to do so.
00:57:36.000And that pains me to say that this is a very successful, amazing vaccine at 90% and more.
00:57:44.000So the governor, Governor Cuomo, will have to let us know when he's ready for it.
00:57:47.000Otherwise, we can't be delivering it to a state that won't be giving it to its people immediately.
00:57:56.000And I know many, I know the people of New York very well.
00:58:10.000He says, you'll tell us when you're ready and we'll send you the vaccine.
00:58:12.000But we're not going to send you a vaccine to sit there in the freezers when it could be deployed elsewhere while you get your act together.
00:58:18.000OK, but this is how the media treated Trump for four long years.
00:58:21.000Meanwhile, they just licked Obama for four years.
00:58:23.000They were just his dog licking his hand for four years.
00:58:26.000They'll go right back to that with Joe Biden.
00:58:28.000By the way, what's amazing about this is that this is not just a phenomenon that the American right has noticed.
00:58:32.000The French president, Emmanuel Macron, he actually came out and ripped into English language media.
00:58:42.000According to The New York Times, President Emmanuel Macron of France called Ben Smith on Thursday afternoon.
00:58:48.000He argued that the Anglo-American press has blamed France instead of those who committed a spate of murderous terrorist attacks that began with the beheading on October 16th of a teacher, Samuel Petit, when a lesson on free speech had shown his class cartoons from the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, mocking the Prophet Muhammad.
00:59:04.000Macron said when France was attacked five years ago, every nation in the world supported us.
00:59:07.000And when I see, in that context, several newspapers, which I believe are from countries that share our values, journalists who write in a country that is heir to the Enlightenment and the French Revolution, when I see them legitimizing this violence and saying the heart of the problem is that France is racist and Islamophobic, I say the founding principles have been lost.
00:59:23.000When even the French are noticing that the American press are screwed, I think it's fair to say that the American press are screwed and that they have jacked up the system.
00:59:32.000And the difference in their treatment of Barack Obama and Donald Trump is a perfectly obvious example of this.
00:59:38.000Okay, meanwhile, a couple of things that are worthy of note with regard to President Trump.
00:59:42.000So regardless of what happens in the next few weeks, Trump is setting the stage for an enshrinement of American global foreign policy that is very different from what he inherited.
00:59:51.000Okay, so President Trump apparently is going to enact a series of hardline policies going after Communist China during the final weeks of his administration, according to Ryan Sevedra at Daily Wire.
01:00:00.000Part of Trump's goal is to, quote, make it politically untenable for the Biden administration to change course on policies as China acts aggressively from India to Hong Kong to Taiwan, according to Axios.
01:00:09.000The National Security Council spokesperson, John Olyot, told Axios, quote, unless Beijing reverses course and becomes a responsible player on the global stage, future U.S.
01:00:16.000presidents will find it politically suicidal to reverse President Trump's historic actions.
01:00:21.000Apparently, they plan to take additional actions against Chinese companies and government entities for a variety of human rights violations and matters involving U.S.
01:00:34.000Before that China is a global opponent and treating them that way and enshrining that for the future is a good thing.
01:00:41.000Meanwhile, in the Middle East, apparently news broke over the weekend that Abdullah Ahmed Abdullah, known as Abu Muhammad al-Masri, was actually shot by motorcycle riding Israeli assassins on the streets of Tehran three months ago.
01:00:54.000They suggested that he was just some sort of low level Hezbollah guy killed by the Israelis.
01:00:57.000But it turns out he was the number two at Al Qaeda.
01:01:00.000is the number two Al Qaeda killed in Iran, which does give the lie to years of media coverage suggesting that the Iranians would never support, never support a terrorist group like Al Qaeda, which is Sunni, when it turns out that basically Iran will support whatever terrorist group targets the West.
01:01:13.000So he was killed about three months ago, and that was done at the behest of the Trump administration, another victory for the Trump administration.
01:01:22.000And regardless of what happens over the next few months, I think that it is worthwhile noting that the Trump administration on policy has been wildly successful.
01:01:30.000And the media's attempt to suggest that they've been unsuccessful rests entirely on COVID policy.
01:01:35.000That COVID policy operation, Warp Speed particularly, has resulted in the development of COVID vaccines.
01:01:41.000We were told for a long time that coronavirus vaccines were not a thing.
01:01:45.000We've never been able to develop, for example, a vaccine against the common cold because it evolves too fast.
01:01:48.000Now we have not one but two COVID vaccines that are gonna be rolled out in the coming months, both of which apparently are over 90% effective.
01:01:57.000So for all the talk about how Trump blew it on COVID, this is their big talking point.
01:02:46.000Here was Atul Gawande acknowledging there really is no plan here.
01:02:49.000We are not in support of a nationwide lockdown and believe there is not a scenario unless there simply isn't a scenario because we can get this under control.
01:03:00.000The critical parts are understanding what we've learned since we did a nationwide lockdown in early April and that is that you can have targeted measures building on mask wearing to include widespread testing Okay, so, again, there's no plan here.
01:03:22.000So, some of them are suggesting lockdown, some of them are suggesting no lockdown.
01:03:26.000They keep saying they're following the science, the Democrats, they're not following the science.
01:03:29.000Andrew Cuomo, the governor of New York, he acknowledged that schools are not the problem in New York State and then said, I'm shutting them down anyway.
01:04:10.000Okay, so amazingly, he's saying the science doesn't say schools should close, but we had an agreement that schools should close, so the schools should close.
01:04:15.000These are the people who are saying they're following the science?
01:04:17.000These are the people who are saying the Trump administration completely blew it despite the fact that Operation Warp Speed is going to develop vaccines for a coronavirus for the first time maybe in human history?
01:04:24.000Like, seriously, they're just un-serious.
01:04:26.000And our media are un-serious, and as I've been saying all along, I've been saying this for weeks now, if the election was rigged, it wasn't rigged in all likelihood in terms of actual voting, it was rigged by the media in advance by lying to you repeatedly, repeatedly, repeatedly.
01:04:39.000The same people who are telling you there is no plan on COVID in the Democratic Party are out there partying.
01:04:43.000Gavin Newsom, over the weekend, apparently acknowledged that he went to a multi-family birthday dinner without any masks indoors.
01:04:51.000In a Saturday editorial, the Sacramento Bee Board accused Newsom of engaging in layers of bad judgment, pointing to the exorbitant cost of the meal, hundreds of dollars per person.
01:04:59.000The event was a birthday dinner for an advisor who was a partner at a lobbying firm.
01:05:03.000Hey, so Gavin Newsom locks down the entire state of California, but he went to a birthday party for one of his political advisors with at least a dozen people from several different households.
01:06:24.000Hey everybody, it's Andrew Klavan, host of The Andrew Klavan Show.
01:06:27.000You know, some people are depressed because the American Republic is collapsing, the end of days is approaching, and the moon has turned to blood.
01:06:33.000But on The Andrew Klavan Show, that's where the fun just gets started.
