Hello and welcome to this special episode of the John Henry Weston Show. We're going
00:00:03.740
to be speaking today with John Droz. He's an independent physicist and founder of the
00:00:08.120
Alliance for Wise Energy Decisions. He's a longtime environmental advocate and he has
00:00:13.440
pushed back for decades on the far left climate agenda. He's been targeted by the left as
00:00:19.360
one of the most significant activists getting in the way of liberal climate change plans
00:00:23.820
in the U.S. He's particularly notable for his advocacy in North Carolina where he's
00:00:29.640
successfully lobbied state lawmakers to drop climate change plans. Now, after the 2020
00:00:35.560
election, Droz put together a team of experts created multiple reports about election issues,
00:00:41.580
part of which were used by Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell in court cases. You're going to want to stay tuned.
00:00:59.640
Let's begin as we always do at the sign of the cross. In the name of the Father and of the Son
00:01:10.400
and of the Holy Ghost. Amen. John Droz, thank you for joining us on the program.
00:01:18.300
So how do we get from the findings, scientific findings of massive anomaly to the fact that
00:01:28.720
you reviewed, I think, 80 court cases, election challenges, and all of them being dismissed,
00:01:36.320
I think at this point, nearly all of them. What do you make of that? And are there any still
00:01:46.080
There's 83 or so is what we have on our list here. They have not all been dismissed. There's,
00:01:52.940
I think, I'm doing this by memory, I think there's 18 that have yet to be adjudicated out of that number.
00:02:00.360
The largest, we then divided, and I had quite a few attorneys look at this too,
00:02:05.720
because I'm not an attorney, and they have their own language and all.
00:02:10.760
So I've had quite a few attorneys, like 20 look at this, and I've gotten some improvements,
00:02:16.120
so by and large, they agree with what we're saying. So anyways, excuse me, the largest category
00:02:24.040
that these fell into was that, the category we decided were appropriate, was the cases that were
00:02:32.920
dismissed for legal technicalities. In other words, the case wasn't really heard,
00:02:40.600
you know, where there was evidence provided and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. The case was dismissed,
00:02:47.560
and that's really what happened in those most recent Supreme Court decision. They didn't hear at
00:02:53.880
all. They didn't listen to anything. They didn't look at anything. I don't know, maybe they looked at
00:02:59.080
prior things, but the whole thing up to that point was a bunch of same type of actions.
00:03:06.440
They missed because it's moot. In other words, that was one of the reasons given by the Supreme
00:03:10.280
Court. In other words, that they're saying, we're not going to review this because it's too late to
00:03:14.120
do anything about it. Okay. Well, that's absurd. That's absurd. Well, go into that. Why is that absurd?
00:03:19.880
Why shouldn't it be? Well, because what's happened here is going to happen again.
00:03:25.160
Unless it's fixed, we're going to just keep going through the cycle over and over again. So there
00:03:30.600
was definitely a lot of things that happened were wrong, and we need to acknowledge those. We need
00:03:35.400
to address those. In your take, is it wrong enough to have swung the election?
00:03:42.600
Oh, absolutely. Again, one of the things that we tried to do was, for instance, in all our reports,
00:03:51.160
we tried to purposely avoid using the word fraud as an example. Because fraud has a legal
00:03:58.200
connotation to it, and we're trying to be, actually, our reports are generally written for the public.
00:04:05.960
So what the public term, use of the term fraud is different from what a judge or a lawyer's attorney
00:04:12.840
use, the word fraud would be. Well, that's sort of an important distinction that the press,
00:04:18.120
unfortunately, just sort of dismisses. So one of the things that the press says, one of their
00:04:29.960
narratives is that there hasn't been any widespread fraud.
00:04:35.160
In the 2020 election. Well, the key word there is widespread. No one is defining what
00:04:43.320
widespread means. At least I haven't seen it defined. See, the implication is that this isn't
00:04:48.760
worth looking into unless there is extreme examples of fraud here. But that's simply not true. That's not
00:04:58.600
what's the story. As anybody following the election would know, the whole election came down to
00:05:05.960
four or five swing states. And widespread doesn't mean a 50% error or 20% error or even a 10% error. In fact,
00:05:17.240
if there was a 5% errors, let's say, false votes for whatever reason, that would be enough to change the
00:05:31.080
entire election. So I wouldn't call a 5% amount. And actually, in some cases, it'd be less than 5%. But
00:05:38.520
I wouldn't call 5% that the public would say that's widespread. But that's part of the misleading
00:05:45.000
narrative, in my view. So from what we've seen, we've tried not to assign where the fault is.
00:05:56.200
In our Pennsylvania and our Michigan report, for example, what our focus was to say, are there
00:06:01.400
statistical aberrations here that are hard to explain under normal circumstances? And the answer is
00:06:08.360
unequivocally, yes. What are the types of irregularities or these abnormalities that you saw?
00:06:18.920
Well, types is the type of thing we didn't so much get into. We were just looking at statistics here,
00:06:23.480
as far as Michigan and Pennsylvania. So that's the question to say, okay, if this particular
00:06:31.080
vote here by this county had one chance of a million of happening, the next question would be,
00:06:37.640
well, what caused that? Well, that wasn't really our job. We don't have the data for that. We didn't
00:06:45.960
have the time for that. All we could say is that's where the problem is. Now, here's a parallel to it.
00:06:51.640
The parallel is that if you had somebody that was a neighbor of yours, a woman, let's say,
00:06:59.800
a married couple that had just gotten divorced, and all of a sudden the woman disappears, doesn't
00:07:06.360
show up. So she's still living with her husband, former husband. So everybody starts looking to say,
00:07:13.560
well, where is this woman? What happened to her? Well, they start looking to the husband and say,
00:07:17.480
well, maybe he had something to do with it. Well, then it turns out she had a boyfriend.
00:07:21.320
Well, maybe he had something to do with it. Well, then it turns out she had some dealings with
00:07:25.960
a loan shark here. Well, maybe he had something to do with it. Blah, blah, blah, blah. There's all
00:07:30.200
sorts of possibilities. But until they can actually find a body, the law enforcement is pretty well
00:07:38.360
handicapped to come up with an answer. It's easy to speculate. I could make a dozen speculations.
00:07:45.000
So that's sort of what we have here. We are in a situation here where what our job is,
00:07:51.320
our team's job, was to come in and to find the body. So we're saying, okay, in Pennsylvania,
00:07:59.000
there's 67 counties. People are saying Philadelphia is where the most corruption is. Well, maybe
00:08:05.000
that is where it's a corrupt place. But the fact is, looking at the statistics,
00:08:09.320
Philadelphia County wasn't even in the top five aberration counts. The number one county was
00:08:16.040
Montgomery. So for people to go look in Philadelphia, even though there'd be some
00:08:19.880
thought about that, is in our view, a waste of time. They should be looking at Montgomery County.
00:08:24.920
Right. And what's the kind of extremity that you saw in Montgomery County?
00:08:30.600
Well, that's explained in our Pennsylvania report here. It just had a lot of aberrations
00:08:37.160
compared to other statistical things here. In other words, comparing county to county,
00:08:42.600
as they say, you look, we compared all 67 counties to each other as one thing. So fun,
00:08:47.320
people can say, well, there's more absentee, Democratic ballots this year, blah, blah, blah.
00:08:51.480
So okay, well, we're comparing all those things, one county to another. But looking at what happened
00:08:56.520
in Montgomery County was completely different than what happened in Philadelphia County or Allegheny
00:09:01.880
County or other counties like that. So it's comparing one to another. Another would be to compare
00:09:07.240
2020 results to 2016 results, as an example. So we were limited by the amount of data we actually had,
00:09:14.040
but statisticians, I mean, they're numbered people. So the more numbers you give them,
00:09:18.760
the more they can analyze it. So the bottom line is that we identified the five worst counties in
00:09:25.640
Pennsylvania, and that's effectively where the body is. So the next level is required that somebody has
00:09:31.160
to do an investigation there, somebody like Russ Ramblin or somebody else to come in and do a forensic
00:09:36.440
audit of one or more of those counties. That would be the appropriate thing to do. Just like an
00:09:42.440
investigator would look at a body. Once we found the body, then the question is, okay, how did they die?
00:09:47.880
Who did it? And then there's some other people in the series here that have to do their job.
00:09:53.080
Our job is to get the ball rolling in the right direction.
00:09:55.960
Right. So at this point, such an investigation even doesn't look very hopeful,
00:10:02.520
at least from my vantage point. Does it look hopeful from yours?
00:10:09.400
Well, probably not. Unfortunately, I would say from what we know, there has been a few.
00:10:17.560
There's one going on in Arizona, Maricopa County. That's one that they are doing some investigation
00:10:27.080
on. But by and large, they haven't done. And I think a lot of it has to do with the media
00:10:32.520
mantra saying, well, there really isn't that big a problem here. And yeah, there may be some
00:10:37.240
really extreme abnormalities, but it isn't worth the time and trouble to look into.
00:10:41.800
On the other hand, I do know we have gotten to know some legislators. And some legislators,
00:10:47.480
particularly in states where the legislators are GOP, they are trying to do something about it.
00:10:55.240
So for instance, in Georgia this last week, they did pass some, what appears to be some
00:11:00.920
meaningful legislation in the Assembly, the House of Georgia. And the Senate is working on something
00:11:07.480
similar, maybe even more strongly. On the other hand, people on the left here,
00:11:11.480
they're talking about things like HR1, whatever. This is really bad stuff, in my view here. And
00:11:20.760
my big picture view here, John, is that the left keeps out maneuvering the right here on
00:11:25.800
all these issues. And there's two reasons why. The two reasons why? Yes.
00:11:32.360
The two reasons why are, and I say this from being in this business, if you will, for 50 years.
00:11:38.840
I've worked with thousands of people. So my view is that there's two problems with people on the
00:11:46.120
right. Number one, I'm talking about particularly groups, let's say conservative organizations in the
00:11:52.440
United States. These are at least people who have some money, some presence here as far as the media,
00:12:01.480
whatever. First problem is that these groups here, even though they have a lot of commonality of
00:12:08.440
interests, they don't work very well together. They just don't. I mean, this is an enormous
00:12:18.840
mixed opportunity in my view. I'm talking about people like Heritage, Heartland, CEI, blah, blah,
00:12:25.480
blah. These are groups here. So part of that is that I took the time and trouble to actually do some
00:12:31.240
research to say, how many conservative-leaning groups are there, national ones, in the United
00:12:42.760
I couldn't find one, so I made up one by doing some research. So in checking it out, going to
00:12:50.920
their website, looking into what their mission statement, stuff like that was, I was able to
00:12:55.000
identify. We're talking about conservative-leaning, national, not local, regional groups, national
00:13:01.800
groups here. I was able to identify, I've said at this point, over 130. Well, that's right. That's
00:13:10.680
typically the answer. Most people, if I ask how many conservative-leaning national groups are there,
00:13:15.720
they say, well, 10 to 15 or 20 or something like that. Well, I have the names of 130. So that's part of the
00:13:24.200
problem. Think of what we could do if these 130 people were working together. 130 groups, I mean,
00:13:30.760
working together. But no. No. The irony is, if you look at it on the other side, the left is working
00:13:39.320
together. Comparable organizations. So if you take the Sierra Club, Union of Concerned Scientists,
00:13:45.640
Greenpeace, et cetera, those people actually work together. They have meetings. They come up with plans
00:13:53.160
of actions here. They come up with messaging. The whole kit and caboodle, they work together
00:13:59.240
significantly more than groups do on the right. To me, that's an extraordinary deficiency here.
00:14:08.520
I'm a big believer in some simple idioms like united we stand, divided we fall. I don't know what's
00:14:15.480
going to take before people on the right saying, hey, what we're doing here isn't working. So that's
00:14:19.880
problem number one. And believe me, I'm saying this from the outside. I'm saying this from working
00:14:26.920
with these people very closely. Second problem is that in messaging, the people on the right here
00:14:36.920
just have very little understanding of public relations and what I would call more sophisticated
00:14:43.880
communication. They're antiquated in what their messaging is based on. Again, if you look at the
00:14:52.200
left, say, how does the left doing a messaging? Oh my God. It's a hugely different, hugely different.
00:15:00.040
The left understands messaging much, much better than the right does. So as a simple example, the left here
00:15:07.240
has decided some time ago that an important part of getting their message across was, is that they had to
00:15:13.320
infuse into the vocabulary words, phrases that were supportive of their agenda.
00:15:22.440
So like what? Well, I've identified like 50. So this example is the phrase wind farm.
00:15:31.400
So there's no such thing as a wind farm. That's a completely made up phrase. Wind farm doesn't exist.
00:15:36.840
The only thing that's farmed on a wind facility is subsidies. But they know they're going into rural
00:15:45.080
areas here and they knew that rural people wouldn't be particularly happy about having an industrial
00:15:50.920
wind complex plopped down in their backyard or on a farm field or whatever else. So they purposely came up
00:15:58.600
with the phrase, this is a wind farm because they wanted to send a message that this was bucolic, pastoral,
00:16:07.880
stuff like that. It's none of those things. It's a complete lie. It's an industrial complex. But the left knew
00:16:17.880
that to convey this to the public, they had to remessage what was really going on here. So to me,
00:16:30.920
that's an example of I give you other clean energy. There's a whole bunch of them. In fact,
00:16:35.000
I'll send you a paper. I put together a list of some of these. So number one is that these people
00:16:41.800
are doing this on the left. Now, if I look for examples that are on the right, I see,
00:16:47.800
like, I don't know, 1% of what's being done on the left here, a huge difference. The people on
00:16:54.200
the right don't get the importance of the vocabulary in our vernacular. They just don't get it. I mean,
00:17:00.200
I'll ask you, you can tell me any examples that the right has made up these types of things that
00:17:06.920
No, it does seem like there's a big move. Concession is a very good, seemingly,
00:17:14.280
way we do things on the right. It's funny. From our own field, we know that we had the
00:17:21.160
marriage wars over same-sex marriage, and we've insisted on using scare quotes around the term
00:17:26.200
marriage. But most of our own colleagues in the same fight has said, oh, well, no, we've got to go
00:17:32.200
past that. So there is a definite want to concede. And I find that with a lot of conservatives,
00:17:39.080
the want to just, yeah, but we want to be normal, so we have to give in on this, that,
00:17:43.560
and the other thing. It's a very strong tendency, I find, with people on the right, for sure.
00:17:50.280
Well, I agree with you 100% here. And I said the same thing. I've got up at meetings here with
00:17:55.080
scientists and say, please extract the phrase wind farm out of your vocabulary. There is no such thing.
00:18:00.600
You want to say wind facility or wind project or a whole bunch of other alternative things you can
00:18:06.360
say. And then the very next person who gets up, a PhD, conservative, says wind farm.
00:18:13.400
No, not purposely, but just as a matter of rote. You're just used to saying wind farm.
00:18:21.480
So we're just not paying attention. And that's what I mean. We're losing the PR messaging war here
00:18:27.880
because the left here is much more tuned in about what needs to be done as far as messaging. So
00:18:35.000
the public is buying a lot of the baloney sell by the left because the right isn't working together
00:18:41.960
to come up with uniformity. And number two, has little understanding of the communication PR
00:18:51.400
To me, those are the two big things. And I would hope you and your group here write about that,
00:18:56.040
because we need to bring more attention to that. That has to be fixed.
00:19:04.840
Awesome. John Drost, thank you so much for being with us on this episode of the John
00:19:11.320
Thank you, John Henry. I appreciate the opportunity.
00:19:14.760
And God bless all of you. We'll see you next time.

Hi, this is John Henry Weston, the co-founder and editor-in-chief of LifeSite News.
00:19:24.920
I'm coming to you today because we want to be sure that we're communicating clearly with you,
00:19:31.080
our loyal followers. Things are really heating up, as I'm sure you can see. Christians,
00:19:36.760
conservative truth-tellers are being targeted, are being banned from social media platforms like
00:19:42.840
Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram at an alarmingly fast rate. They are attempting to
00:19:49.400
suppress any narrative that does not fit that of the mainstream media. We knew this day would
00:19:55.720
come. We have been warning everyone who would listen and attempting to build up alternative
00:20:01.240
platforms to continue to reach you. We have established ourselves on all sorts of platforms
00:20:07.320
I'm going to explain in a minute, but the most important thing to do is come direct to
00:20:11.160
LifeSiteNews.com because there we will always be. But we've also established ourselves on platforms
00:20:18.680
like Parler and MeWe, and our videos can be found on Rumble as well. We would love to see each of you
00:20:25.640
on those platforms too, as they are not censoring or suppressing the truth that we are sharing every
00:20:31.320
single day. More than these alternative social media platforms, we highly encourage you to subscribe
00:20:37.800
to our email newsletter. We have really built up a large list of loyal readers on our email
00:20:43.560
marketing platform, and we have prepared several backup plans for, well, I want to say if, but it's
00:20:50.440
really when, we are removed from our current platform as well. Additionally, I really encourage you,
00:20:57.240
as I said before, to make it a regular habit to go directly to LifeSiteNews.com. Make it your
00:21:03.720
homepage. While all of these different platforms are an excellent way to curate your news, going
00:21:09.960
directly to our website means that you will never encounter any censorship or sudden loss of LifeSite
00:21:16.040
News reporting. Here's the thing. We will never stop sharing the truth. We founded this organization
00:21:23.480
with the mission to be the life, family, and culture source for men and women who seek to know the
00:21:29.720
truth. We have established a track record of honest reports, and this will never stop, even with
00:21:37.320
censorship happening around the globe. Again, I'm encouraging you to join us on Parler, MeWe,
00:21:44.040
Rumble, and on our email list. You can find all the direct links in the description of this video.
00:21:51.320
May God bless you and keep you, and we are so thankful that you've chosen to follow
00:21:55.400
and support LifeSiteNews. I'm John Henry Weston, co-founder and editor-in-chief of LifeSiteNews.
