Scam Allegations in Fulton County
00:12:51
|
||
| People are wondering right now, what is the Trump administration doing? | ||
| With the Epstein files getting released, we're learning that a lot of really bad people are doing a lot of really bad things. | ||
| And the question is, where are the arrests? | ||
| Many people are questioning Dan Bongino. | ||
| What did you do when you were in the FBI? | ||
| And it seems on the surface that not a whole lot is happening. | ||
| To be fair, a lot of groundwork has been done by the FBI. | ||
| They've arrested a lot of street-level criminals and really nasty people, criminal cartels. | ||
| And the DHS, of course, is arresting these illegal immigrant criminals as well. | ||
| But people want to know about the corruption. | ||
| They want to know about the powerful political elites who seem to be getting away with everything. | ||
| Well, my friends, I bring you now into the deep dive of what may be going on, though we, as just members of the public, can only scratch the surface. | ||
| It appears there is a plan in place by Donald Trump and his administration to track down some of this corruption. | ||
| Knowing Donald Trump, of course, it's particularly vain. | ||
| He's going after the 2020 election, which I think is important, and I think we deserve an investigation and answers. | ||
| And if Trump is proven wrong, then so be it. | ||
| But now we're learning that over the past year, there have been efforts to track down information on just what happened in 2020. | ||
| It may be simple, my friends. | ||
| It may be that through ballot harvesting efforts and lockdown, Donald Trump was handily defeated by Joe Biden. | ||
| I don't think that on a normal day, regular people go out and vote for Joe Biden, but when everyone's locked down with nothing to do and you blame Trump for it, it's not that hard to ballot harvest. | ||
| But there are questions about foreign interference. | ||
| And considering we spent, I don't know, what, four years, like the entirety of Trump's first term, entertaining this ludicrous lie about Russian interference, I got no problem saying tit for tap. | ||
| We're going to investigate Venezuelan interference. | ||
| Now, I got to be honest, based on the assessment and everything I've seen, I do not believe there is strong evidence that Venezuela was involved. | ||
| And a lot of these theories that were purported in 2020, I don't believe are likely correct. | ||
| But said it before, and I'll say it again, I got no problem with an investigation. | ||
| You want to launch a $35 million investigation into Trump over Russia? | ||
| I got no problem if you want to send Tulsi Gabbard to Puerto Rico to start looking at voting machines, which is what she's doing. | ||
| And now we've got Democrats all in a tizzy, calling it a scam. | ||
| We are getting smears of Tulsi as news emerges that in fact, over the past year, she seems to be investigating something related to this, and we don't know exactly what. | ||
| And we're only actually learning now. | ||
| But we know we should investigating something to do with these elections. | ||
| She was in Fulton County, Georgia when they seized these ballots, reportedly, and she was in Puerto Rico for similar reasons. | ||
| One theory is that with the capture of Nicolas Maduro from Venezuela, they will force a confession where he will say, yes, Venezuela did interfere. | ||
| And the Democrats are saying it's a scam. | ||
| It's a trick. | ||
| It's not real. | ||
| But hey, welcome to politics. | ||
| And I don't know exactly what we'll find, but power is power, and convincing the public of something is really all that matters. | ||
| In this circumstance, we are seeing the raw exercise of power and the willingness to use it. | ||
| Well, that's really the question. | ||
| Is Trump willing to come out and say our voting machines have been compromised by Venezuela, Maduro's confessed, and the midterms are now in jeopardy. | ||
| The perspective of many of these people on the left is that Trump will not allow a midterm defeat because that will mean impeachment and it will mean prison for a lot of other prominent conservative personalities. | ||
| Steve Bannon said just as much. | ||
| If Trump really wants to win, it seems it will require a raw exercise of power. | ||
| But what if it's true? | ||
| What if Venezuela really did interfere in some way? | ||
| We entertained Russia, why not Venezuela? | ||
| And if Trump does uncover evidence, he can show it. | ||
| Here's what will happen. | ||
| The left will just say it's fabricated. | ||
| They won't believe it anyway. | ||
| So where does this all go? | ||
| Your guess is as good as mine, but you know what my guess is going to be? | ||
| Either way, this story's getting crazy. | ||
| The deep Venezuela 2020 conspiracy theory is here. | ||

| Let's start here. | ||
| And I'm going to do a quick sweep through a bunch of these stories to give you the surface level overview before we dive into the nitty-gritty. | ||
| The Washington Examiner says, Trump says Fulton County FBI raid will determine the true winner of Georgia in 2020. | ||
| Indeed. | ||
| Indeed, my friends. | ||
| Now, going back to November of 2025, Trump hints support for fringe theory that Venezuela rigged the 2020 election. | ||
| Now, this is fascinating because at the time we did not know that Maduro was going to be captured. | ||
| And then in fact, this is already being investigated. | ||
| We can take a look at this story from The Daily Beast, Tulsi Gabbard's amateur our voting machine probe exposed. | ||
| Turns out that she went down to Puerto Rico back in May and was investigating some of these voting machines. | ||
| As far as we know now, there's no evidence that Venezuela did anything. | ||
| But we do know that Trump personally sent in the crew to go and capture Nicholas Maduro, and they got him. | ||
| Interesting indeed. | ||
| My friends, following this, we learned of the most insane political smear against Tulsi Gabbard, that there was a whistleblower complaint so egregious it must remain classified. | ||
| That's straight out of the Russia collusion playbook. | ||
| I'm holding here evidence that Trump colluded with Russia, but it's so sensitive, I can't share it with you. | ||
| There was never any evidence. | ||
| It was all a lie. | ||
| And as it turns out, the whistleblower complaint against Tulsi Gabbard had no credibility. | ||
| And so it remains classified, but they're acting like it's something big. | ||
| This is what's currently going on. | ||
| With the raid in Fulton County, Georgia, the game is on. | ||
| Maduro captured. | ||
| Is this true? | ||
| Let's deep dive, my friends. | ||
| Here we go from the examiner. | ||
| President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that the investigation into Fulton County's alleged voter fraud will determine a true winner of the 2020 election in Georgia. | ||
| There should be nothing wrong with the fact that they went in, got Beltram a while ago, and they're going to go look at him. | ||
| And now they're going to find out the true winner of the state, Trump said in an interview with Tom Lamas. | ||
| Is that how you pronounce his name? | ||
| Yamas. | ||
| The FBI executed a search warrant of the Fulton County election facility seizing belts and election records tied to the election that named former President Joe Biden the winner. | ||
| Fulton County has since sued the Trump administration for repossession of the files taken. | ||
| Trump said he personally is not doing anything in Fulton County, but said the FBI went in because of the cheating that took place in 2020. | ||
| Now, what I can tell you here is the facts. | ||
| The fact is there are around 300,000 belts in question because my understanding is they were not properly signature verified. | ||
| Now, the right argues that these should be void, which would make Trump the winner. | ||
| And the left argues their ballots and votes are votes and every vote should be counted. | ||
| Well, I suppose the issue then is, do you take the administrative approach or the straightforward human approach? | ||
| The administrative approach, of course, is, hey, look, if you broke procedure, sorry, Trump won. | ||
| The human approach is, guys, we understand that these votes were for Joe Biden. | ||
| So I'm sorry, Trump, you lose. | ||
| But I got to be honest, the point of security and signature verification is to make sure the votes are all legitimate. | ||
| And if they can't be proven legitimate, then I don't think they count. | ||
| They go on to say, DNI Tulsi Gabbard was notably in attendance at the raid. | ||
| Her position typically has no domestic law enforcement authority in overseas intelligence agencies that are not permitted to operate on U.S. soil. | ||
| Lamas asked why Gabbard was present during the raid. | ||
| I don't know, Trump said. | ||
| A lot of the cheating comes from its international cheating. | ||
| What I love about this is that when news broke that Tulsi Gabbard was actually there, the Democrats were like, she's got no reason to be there. | ||
| This is a scam. | ||
| And I'm like, could it be that there's international implications in this? | ||
| Y'all went Robert Mueller crazy on Trump with Russia. | ||
| Why would I care if Tulsi Gabbard's there? | ||
| One of us officials have shared sentiments similar to the president's and said Gabbard has been examining records in the 2020 election. | ||
| They said she has been looking into claims of foreign interference and weak spots in election infrastructure. | ||
| In discussing the midterm elections, Lamas asked Trump if he would trust the results if Republicans lose control. | ||
| And he says, I will if the elections are honest. | ||
| We just had a great election. | ||
| Lamas also asked Trump's, about Trump's previous mention, a plan to nationalize elections. | ||
| I didn't say nationalize. | ||
| I said there are some areas in the country that are extremely corrupt. | ||
| Indeed, my friends. | ||
| Now, Donald Trump has expressed intention or at least desire to take some federal control of elections he deems corrupt. | ||
| I think there's a strong probability Donald Trump makes a move to in some way either accuse the elections in certain areas of being corrupt, maybe Maduro or Venezuela, and then try to assert some kind of federal oversight, which ultimately results in Republicans winning the midterms. | ||
| It doesn't matter if Trump is correct and the evidence is real. | ||
| What matters is that neither side will believe the other. | ||
| If Trump genuinely and legitimately comes out with true evidence proving Venezuela did something wrong, the left will say he fabricated it. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| To be honest, if Trump comes out and says, I don't got anything, then the right's going to be pissed off. | ||
| And they're going to say, well, now we lose, I guess. | ||
| In the case of Fulton County, PBS News is reporting that they've asked for the return of a document seized by the FBI, which is strange, to be completely honest. | ||
| Guys, listen, obviously I'm going to be biased. | ||
| You can call me biased, but let me just say this. | ||
| And I ask you guys to comment and tell me, seriously, comment below. | ||
| Let me know what you think. | ||
| I genuinely find it strange the resistance they're engaging in over this. | ||
| They should just say, have fun, I guess. | ||
| Trump lost Crimea River. | ||
| Why would they be so resistant? | ||
| Now, the argument for the liberals, of course, is going to be that because Trump's going to use this to fabricate evidence. | ||
| Okay, then say that. | ||
| Literally say that in these articles, public officials, I want to see the Democrats come out and say, we don't want the DOJ or the FBI to get access to these documents because they will use them and then fabricate evidence to steal the election. | ||
| Say it. | ||
| Otherwise, your resistance makes no sense. | ||
| Well, here we go, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| From Democracy Docket, you know, it's our liberal friends. | ||
| They say election deniers think Maduro's capture will expose the plot to steal the 2020 vote. | ||
| Indeed, they do. | ||
| I'm going to come back to this because I want to show you what they're saying over on the old TV about Tulsi Gabbard. | ||
| This is from Blue Georgia. | ||
| This is the Democrat liberal view. | ||
| Is she through this alleging that there was a, that there was foreign interference in Georgia in 2020? | ||
| And that's why Donald Trump lost? | ||
| Could they have gotten a warrant regarding foreign interference into Georgia's election from 2020? | ||
| Well, remember, the Director of National Security has no domestic law enforcement responsibilities. | ||
| The whole notion of the national security laws that were put in place after the Watergate break-in was to keep foreign and our spy agencies looking foreign, not at our country. | ||
| If she alleges now, after the fact, and there's been some wacky theories on the internet of Italian spy satellites breaking into voting roles that have been totally debunked. | ||
| But if she says there's some claim of foreign interference, if she has not reported that to the oversight committees, the intelligence committees, she has violated her responsibility as director of national intelligence. | ||
| I think this is a scam. | ||
| I think this is a person who's trying desperately to get back in the good graces of Donald Trump with his obsession. | ||

Reuters Investigates Voting Machine Scandal
00:06:55
|
||
| She's not been involved in anything around Venezuela, Iran, NATO, Greenland. | ||
| It's a scam, he says. | ||
| One big scam. | ||
| Aaron Banka reporting, DNI Gabbard led an effort last spring to investigate Puerto Rico's voting machines. | ||
| A task force which included the FBI was probing possible Venezuelan interference. | ||
| Her team took a number of voting machines to analyze. | ||
| This reported by Reuters, I don't know that Reuters will actually let us read this. | ||
| I guess I guess they're going to. | ||
| All right, let's break this down. | ||
| In response to this article, liberals are claiming Trump is going to falsely have Maduro confess in exchange for a pardon, so that way he can assert control over the elections before the midterms. | ||
| Reuters reported U.S. spy chief's office investigated voting machines in Puerto Rico. | ||
| A team working for President Donald Trump's spy chief, Tulsi Gabbard, last spring led an investigation into Puerto Rico's voting machines, said Gabbard's office and three sources familiar with the previously unreported events. | ||
| The sources said the goal was to work with the FBI to investigate claims that Venezuela had hacked voting machines in Puerto Rico, but added the probe did not produce any clear evidence of Venezuelan interference in the U.S. territory's elections. | ||
| Reuters first reported the investigation. | ||
| Gabbard's office in a statement to Reuters confirmed the main investigation but denied a link to Venezuela, saying its focus was on vulnerabilities in the island's electronic voting system. | ||
| Her team took an unspecified number of Puerto Rico's voting machines and additional copies of data from the machines as part of its investigation, a spokesperson for Gabbard's office of the Director of National Intelligence said. | ||
| To go back to that statement from our Democrat friend on Kitty Tur's show, he says if she knows of a Venezuelan plot or foreign interference, she needs to tell us, well, maybe she doesn't, and maybe she's just investigating. | ||
| That's all, right? | ||
| Her office says they're taking voting machines and data with standard practice in forensics analysis. | ||
| Noting similar voting infrastructure elsewhere in the U.S., it added, ODNI found extremely concerning cybersecurity and operational deployment practices that pose a significant risk to U.S. elections. | ||
| Jorge Rivera Rueda, head of Puerto Rico State Election Commission, said he could not comment on any ongoing investigations, adding, the commission will fully cooperate with any investigative process conducted by the appropriate authorities, whether at the state or federal level. | ||
| Venezuela's government did not respond to a request for comment. | ||
| ODNI said some security gaps in voting machines used in Puerto Rico stemmed from their use of vulnerable cellular technology and that software flaws existed that could give hackers access deep into vital electoral systems. | ||
| The Puerto Rico operation appeared to be part of an effort by the Trump administration to pursue unproven allegations of voting fraud, the sources said. | ||
| The preoccupation with voter fraud dates to Trump's re-election loss in 2020 and has not abated, said the sources, who spoke in the condition of anonymity to discuss non-public operations. | ||
| Democratic leaders in Congress voiced alarm over Reuters' report on the Puerto Rico operation. | ||
| Chuck Schumer, the top Democrat in the Senate, said the Trump administration was violating state and federal laws and the U.S. Constitution by seeking the election records. | ||
| They're trying to intimidate local elected officials, Schumer told MS Now television on Thursday. | ||
| What's most alarming here is that the director is that Director Gabbard's own team acknowledges there was no evidence of foreign interference, yet they seized voting machines and election data anyway. | ||
| Now, I love this. | ||
| There was a video that came out just the other day. | ||
| It's the prosecutor. | ||
| I'm sorry, it's the defense attorney questioning an investigator in the assassination of Charlie Kirk. | ||
| And she says to the man that you solicited evidence from the public without vetting it. | ||
| And he responds with, yes, because I can't vet it until I receive it. | ||
| And she's like, right. | ||
| It's one of those things where it's just like, are you trying to make an argument that doesn't make sense because people will believe it? | ||
| Answer is yes. | ||
| Tulsi Gabbard, how could she find evidence of foreign interference if she doesn't take the machines to investigate them? | ||
| This is the most ridiculous. | ||
| Reuters, this is why people don't like journalists, okay? | ||
| Because Reuters could easily just point out that the statement made by Democrats makes literally no sense. | ||
| Tulsi, in her immediate investigation in Puerto Rico, found nothing, took the machines to go check. | ||
| How do you know if there's foreign interference if you don't take the machines? | ||
| Hey, there may be evidence in this locker. | ||
| I'm not going to open it. | ||
| Huh? | ||
| Could you imagine if the FBI, it's like they found a box covered in blood at a crime scene, but they took it even though they couldn't verify there was any evidence in it. | ||
| It's like, well, right. | ||
| Well, they have to open it, right? | ||
| They have to take it and go examine it. | ||
| How stupid. | ||
| Listen, I don't know exactly what's going on or what Trump's plan is, and I don't even believe his election fraud claims. | ||
| My genuine belief, certainly there was some impropriety, but I believe that is a red herring. | ||
| I believe that what happened in 2020 is that everybody's locked down. | ||
| Trump is the president. | ||
| They blame him. | ||
| And Democrats launched a ballot harvesting operation. | ||
| Now, that being said, I'm open to being proven wrong. | ||
| It's entirely possible that I am. | ||
| But I believe that is the preponderance of evidence that Trump lost to Biden. | ||
| And people say, how could Biden have gotten so many votes? | ||
| Because people were locked down and they blamed Trump. | ||
| Look at the riots. | ||
| They blamed Trump. | ||
| Well, my friends, our liberal friends over the Daily Beast are calling it amateur hour. | ||
| Tulsi Gabbard's amateur hour voting machine probe exposed. | ||
| Critics say the office of the director of national intelligence is exceeding its authority and expertise. | ||
| President Donald Trump's director of national intelligence has seized voting machines in Puerto Rico as part of the administration's ongoing effort to find proof of voter fraud. | ||
| Tulsi Gabbard has apparently made it her mission to advance Trump's personal grievances, including his repeatedly debunked claims the election in 2020 was stolen. | ||
| Gabbard 44 was on site last week at Kash Patel's FBI rated, as Kash Patel's FBI rated, an election center outside Atlanta, Georgia for materials related to Trump's electoral loss. | ||
| Now her office, ODNI, has confirmed that it also took the extraordinary step of seizing an unspecified number of voting machines in Puerto Rico. | ||
| You get the point, we read it already, but you got to bring up our friends of the Daily Beast who are going to manipulate and falsely frame it. | ||
| But oh boy, my friends, here's where the conspiracy gets real juicy. | ||
| Maduro pardon. | ||
| The truth behind the viral claim about Donald Trump and the 2020 rigged election. | ||
| Well, it wouldn't be a whack-aloon liberal claim without our good friend Ed Krasenstein, who says, breaking. | ||
| It appears as though Trump may be offering a pardon to Nicholas Maduro in exchange for him making claims that Venezuela helped rig the 2020 U.S. election for Joe Biden. | ||
| This would do two things for Trump. | ||
| One, Trump will do anything to try and convince people he really won the 2020 election in which he got clobbered. | ||
| Two, it could give him cover to call in the military to seize voting machines and or scare people into not voting for the midterms. | ||
| Well, Ed, you missed a huge opportunity here. | ||
| It'll do something else as well. | ||
| It will give Donald Trump general federal pretext for oversight, meaning he can send in federal observers to these voting locations to monitor them. | ||
| And the argument is going to be that ODNI has evidence of foreign interference. | ||
|
Manipulating Conservatism
00:11:05
|
||
| And they can push back and they can argue all they want. | ||
| Trump will likely do it anyway, if that is the case. | ||
| Now, based on Trump's track record, I'm going to go and say Trump is substantially weaker than these people claim, much too weak to actually do what they're arguing he will do. | ||
| But they're going to do it anyway. | ||
| So let me see if we can pull this up. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
| In response to the story about Tulsi Gabbard leading this Puerto Rico investigation, Pedro Gonzalez says this is a test run for what the Trump admin wants to do to the rest of America out of the midterms. | ||
| And Gabbard is just the person to take point because she's so deeply compromised with this whistleblower complaint against her, which is discredited. | ||
| I mean, it's ridiculous. | ||
| Trump's laying the groundwork for trying to steal the next elections is the most important story right now. | ||
| Naturally, conservatives aren't interested at all and are instead gooning over Hollywood casting choices that have hurt their fragile feelings. | ||
| Now, what I want to stress here is that it is a lie. | ||
| The first thing you need to break down in Pedro, you are a manipulative, evil man. | ||
| I believe we've hosted you on the show before, but I see this and his statement, and what I see is manipulation, and I would describe it as evil. | ||
| Firstly, let's break down his manipulations. | ||
| He says there's a whistleblower complaint against Tulsi Gabbard. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| The federalist says, a so-called whistleblower filed a complaint against her, alleging wrongdoing so sensitive that his details supposedly could not be disclosed. | ||
| The complaint was reviewed and closed because it lacked credibility. | ||
| The determination was made by Tamara Johnson, a career official who served as the acting inspecting general of the intelligence community during the Biden administration. | ||
| That should have been the end of the story. | ||
| Instead, the secrecy surrounding the complaint has been repackaged as proof that something terrible must have occurred. | ||
| The absence of evidence is now being marketed as evidence itself. | ||
| And thus, when you have Pedro Gonzalez using that manipulation that has no credibility or bare minimum, there's nothing to glean from it. | ||
| I have nothing to say. | ||
| Okay, a complaint was made. | ||
| It was found not credible. | ||
| We don't know what's going on. | ||
| There's nothing there. | ||
| Why even bring it up except to poison the well? | ||
| Now, he makes the additional point about how Hollywood, I'm sorry, conservatives are gooning over Hollywood casting choices. | ||
| I actually have a post I made the other day that actually resulted in, I think, either like me getting blocked by the guy. | ||
| I think the guy deleted the tweet. | ||
| Yeah, he deleted the tweet. | ||
| Let me pull this up for you and show you the manipulations these people engage in. | ||
| So there was a post that made the same claim because as you can see here, Michael Knowles had discussed Helen of Troy being black in a new casting and he got 60,000 views. | ||
| They said, currently the Epstein files are being released and conservatives are talking about Hollywood because they're trying to cover up for Trump. | ||
| So I did what any normal sane person would do. | ||
| I pulled up old Michael Knowles' YouTube channel and what did I find? | ||
| In fact, on the exact same day, he did a 50-minute breakdown of the Epstein files to which he got 320,000 views. | ||
| In fact, the most successful podcast he did that day was discussing Epstein. | ||
| And then after the fact, he did another video. | ||
| What they do here is they manipulate. | ||
| They want you to believe that he never actually made the point. | ||
| Well, this tweet got deleted because they are liars. | ||
| It's what they do. | ||
| By all means, challenge Trump on what is going on with this Tulsi Gabbard stuff. | ||
| Apparently, she's claimed Trump sent her out there to investigate. | ||
| Perhaps that's the case. | ||
| I don't know, but I am looking at all this and I'm trying to weigh this against the political biases. | ||
| The people who support Trump are largely going to believe that, yes, Venezuela did this. | ||
| They still do. | ||
| They never stopped. | ||
| So Trump investigated and say, finally, the truth is coming. | ||
| I honestly don't know. | ||
| I lean towards, I don't think so, but it's possible. | ||
| Now, why then would you need Pedro to craft a tweet where you bring up a whistleblower complaint that has done, that has no merit. | ||
| Maybe, maybe not, we don't know. | ||
| It's nothing to actually bring up. | ||
| And then why would you bring up that they're concerned over casting choices when, of course, that is just one small story in the bigger picture? | ||
| Because the goal here is to manipulate people into, well, we'll put it like this. | ||
| It's called poisoning the well. | ||
| So that an individual who is already anti-Trump or maybe uninitiated will see this. | ||
| And he is giving them reasons to say that Tulsi Gabbard is corrupt, which we don't know is true, and that conservatives don't care about what's going on, which is also not true. | ||
| Because I tell you this, conservatives, they're going to grift off whatever they can, the same as anybody else. | ||
| And if they have an opportunity to make a video where they're like, Trump is investigating Venezuela, they're going to do it. | ||
| There's going to be more beneficial, more favorable to Trump. | ||
| This is a manipulation intended to trick people who don't know what's going on. | ||
| The whistleblower complaint against her, which never went anywhere, and no one even knows if it's true. | ||
| Mind I remind you of the old classic from Huffington Post dating back to 2018. | ||
| This is an actual tweet from the Huffington Post I'm going to read to you. | ||
| A tape might exist of Trump doing something in an elevator, though exactly where that somewhere is and what that something might be, no one in media can say. | ||
| That's because no one in media seems to have seen the tape or is even confident it exists. | ||
| Uh-huh. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| What? | ||
| Indeed. | ||
| You see, back in the day, this is going, I can't believe how long it's been. | ||
| You know, 2018 is eight years ago. | ||
| They ran this psychotic post and story about a smear of nothing. | ||
| And that's actually the exact same thing they're doing to Tulsi Gabbard right now. | ||
| There's no actual complaint against her, none that we actually know of. | ||
| And it was deemed not credible. | ||
| And they're still acting like it exists. | ||
| The media was going crazy over the elevator story. | ||
| There's a tape of Trump somewhere. | ||
| We got to find it. | ||
| And they were looking for nothing. | ||
| That's the weirdest thing imaginable. | ||
| It says cultie, is it not? | ||
| Pedro continues. | ||
| I would have written it off as silly that Trump admin might consider getting Maduro to confessed having stolen 2020 election, validating the most bat-ish Sidney Powell conspiracy theories of election fraud to help Trump justify undermining our elections ahead of the midterms in exchange for leniency. | ||
| But it is within the realm of possibility now. | ||
| This is actually how deranged this administration is. | ||
| And there is no reason to believe that right-wing media would do anything but parrot such claims. | ||
| Again, Bannon, a convicted felon, has said that losing would mean likely going back to jail. | ||
| And there's just no way people like him would not be willing to throw everything at frustrating the process of holding them accountable through elections. | ||
| Well, here's what I can say to this perspective. | ||
| There is a, there have been historical precedent. | ||
| There has been the arrest of lawyers, Donald Trump's lawyers, the arrest of the frontrunner for the presidency, attempted assassinations, all at the same time. | ||
| Donald Trump was convicted of 34 felony counts for the first time in history that did not have a unanimous underlying crime in New York State. | ||
| That has never happened before. | ||
| Typically, what happens is when an individual is convicted under the falsification of business records, the jury unanimously agrees the person was trying to conceal a crime. | ||
| In this instance, they may agree he was trying to conceal a crime, but they don't know what actually crime that was, which would mean that these charges would actually be a misdemeanor. | ||
| These things are unprecedented, unprecedented. | ||
| And if you want to look at those instances and what you're seeing now, I tell you this, there's no off-ramp. | ||
| You're at war. | ||
| Right now, we're in what appears to be some kind of bleeding Kansas period. | ||
| It doesn't always mean that civil war will break out. | ||
| But if you think that Trump or the Democrats are not willing to do whatever it takes, then I got a bridge to sell you. | ||
| I agree with Pedro in this regard. | ||
| Bannon, he went to prison before, and I think he's likely correct. | ||
| He says he'll go to prison again. | ||
| Do you think Steve's going to sit back and just let Democrats win or will he do everything in his power to try and stop them? | ||
| Right now, Caul She has the numbers. | ||
| The prediction market says the Democratic Party is at a 78% chance to defeat the Republican Party in the midterms. | ||
| That will be the apocalypse for Trump, his administration, and his efforts. | ||
| The end result will likely be that immigration efforts will be curtailed. | ||
| They'll make attempts at pulling funding from ICE, even though they're already funded until September. | ||
| Once this goes, they're going to pull it. | ||
| Actually, it might be beyond September. | ||
| I'm not entirely sure. | ||
| They're going to impeach. | ||
| They won't get a conviction, but they will frustrate. | ||
| That's the phrase, right? | ||
| Trump's efforts moving forward. | ||
| Not to mention, they'll form committees. | ||
| They will subpoena people, and they will seek to put individuals in prison. | ||
| They look at bad. | ||
| Do you think that Trump and his administration are going to accept this? | ||
| The Trump admin knows full well, and the people who have aligned with him know exactly what's coming for them if they lose power. | ||
| They sought in the first term. | ||
| So they have to do whatever it takes to win. | ||
| So what this could mean? | ||
| Well, my friends, truth. | ||
| History is written by the victors. | ||
| Abraham Lincoln is heralded as a hero, despite the fact he did things that were wholly unconstitutional and tyrannical. | ||
| That's a fact. | ||
| And I still think he was a good dude. | ||
| I think he was a bad dude in a lot of ways, but I think he did the right thing, unfortunately. | ||
| And that is, Abraham Lincoln decided to wield power to the best of his abilities to preserve this nation. | ||
| And that's the challenge. | ||
| The challenge is, did Venezuela actually interfere in our elections in 2020? | ||
| I have no idea. | ||
| If the DOJ, DHS, the ODNI come out and say yes, what am I supposed to say to that? | ||
| No, you're liars. | ||
| Sure it's true? | ||
| I can say it's a claim asserted. | ||
| Show me the evidence. | ||
| But evidence is not proof. | ||
| Evidence indicates proof puts beyond a reasonable doubt. | ||
| If they come out with proof beyond a reasonable doubt, what can you say? | ||
| If Maduro literally confesses, how can you call him a liar? | ||
| Because you don't trust Donald Trump? | ||
| Okay. | ||
| In which case, welcome to the warfare, baby. | ||
| If Maduro were to come out right now and say, yeah, I did it, the liberals are going to say he's lying and Trump made him do it. | ||
| In which case, what's the point of even having the evidence? | ||
| Conservatives are going to say, aha, that proves it. | ||
| What's the point? | ||
| No one is going to agree with the other side. | ||
| In which case, I think it's fairly obvious what this becomes. | ||
| Civil war? | ||
| It really just depends on individuals' willingness to wield power. | ||
| And Democrats likely will. | ||
| Republicans have not shown a strong, let's just say, likelihood. | ||
| Or yeah, they've done pretty bad. | ||
| But Trump is something else. | ||
| Stephen Miller, Steve Bannon, Christy Noam, Pam Bondi, Kash Patel. | ||
| Cash was already the victim of one of these hoaxes. | ||
| Do you think these people want to sit back and just let Democrats come in and put them in prison and destroy their lives? | ||
| The answer is no. | ||
