I'm filling in for Mike today on the Mike Lindell show.
And as usual, we're going to do our best to make sure that you are one of the best informed audiences across America on the news that really matters.
A lot of folks are pitching, you know, essentially amplifying press releases put up by folks attempting to try to manipulate everything that you hear and manipulate your views around certain events.
We're just going to try to give you the base facts so you guys can make your own judgment and get you information that you can't hear on any other network.
So we've got a lot of ground to cover today.
We're going to have our usual DC update here a little bit later than usual, but we're going to have Kara Castranova joining us to talk about what's going on in the nation's capital.
I'm also going to talk about a friend of mine who was a clerk in Hillsdale County, Michigan by the name of Stephanie Scott.
And you're going to want to hear her story and what she's going through right now as a result of her attempts to secure our election integrity.
And then we're also going to tap into a discussion around the security of our election systems.
That's a little bit of a kind of an election system 101 overview that goes over and evaluates the security of our election systems from the perspective of their designation as critical infrastructure.
So I think you're going to find some very useful information in that discussion.
And then last but not least, we're going to zero in on testimony recently from Martine Rodill.
There's been a series of investigators that have been looking into election fraud from a different perspective back in 2020.
They were actually attempting it from the perspective of obtaining whistleblower evidence.
And, you know, you've probably already heard of Gary Burnson.
You probably heard Patrick Byrne talk about this.
You've probably heard of the author of the book Stolen Elections, Ralph Pizzullo, talking about it, but you haven't heard too much about Martine Rodill.
And Martine Rodill is a former Venezuelan who emigrated to the United States in the wake of the communist takeover of Venezuela.
You're going to want to hear what he has to say about the events in Venezuela and their ties into elections.
So we're going to get into that in the second half of the show in a bit of detail.
So I just want to kick things off, though, as we wait for Kara to join us.
We've all, of course, heard the story of Tina Peters, who is she's the former Mesa County clerk, Mesa County, Colorado clerk, who is serving a nine-year prison sentence for effectively doing her job as a clerk, which is to preserve the records under her jurisdiction.
And she is the clerk that made copies of the Dominion election management system server for the county and before Dominion came out and serviced,
and then another copy after Dominion came out and serviced her server and documented effectively what is at as a minimum a violation of federal law in that they destructed or destroyed the election records for previous elections when they deployed this new what they call trusted build in that second deployment.
So Tina, you know pretty well the story of Tina Peters and if you want to find out more about Tina go to tinapeters.us.
Obviously there's a lot of people working on getting her out of this prison term as soon as possible as part of her appeal process.
We've had a couple of very damning testimonies around the election systems that have been provided by whistleblowers from Venezuela.
So a lot of stuff is popping on that topic.
But a clerk that you probably haven't heard too much about is someone by the name of Stephanie Scott.
And you may recall the term Hillsdale because that's where Hillsdale College is.
It's a famous conservative college that is a great thought leader across the country.
But you probably haven't heard of one of the clerks inside of Hillsdale County.
She was a clerk for Adams Township and her name is Stephanie Scott.
And I got introduced to Stephanie a while ago, a long time ago.
And Stephanie is one of those clerks that was concerned about the integrity of our election system, the security of our election systems.
And she did something unconscionable.
She actually started asking inconvenient questions of election officials like our Secretary of State and the Director of Bureau of Elections around the integrity of these elections.
I've written about Stephanie extensively in my book, The 2020 Coup, What Happened, What We Can Do.
In there, you can see the actual letters that were sent to Stephanie, the communications that sent to Stephanie from the Bureau of Elections.
And as a result of all Stephanie's actions pushing back, I mean, she's paid some legal consequences.
And I just want to go into a little bit of that right now because she needs your help.
After the 2020 election, Stephanie raised legitimate concerns about the tabulator testing, data retention, potential deletion of election records during her tabulator's routine maintenance.
In particular, she questioned things like the number of ballots that were used in the test set that was used for public accuracy testing.
She noticed that she had been conducting two different elections.
They had different numbers of measures on the ballots, yet she had the same set of test ballots for each of them.
And the one that had more measures should have had more permutations of vote, should have had more ballots, but she was just given the same basic test deck.
And so she questioned that.
And she reviewed the contracts and laws.
And after doing so, she discovered that the ballot images are stored on the tabulator and that the clerks, not the vendors, are responsible for preserving them under state and federal law, which requires 22 months of retention.
That's the same federal law, USC Title 52, Section 20701, that Tina Peters in Mesa County was attempting to preserve.
She didn't want these records destroyed.
Stephanie was in that same mindset.
She did not want those records destroyed either.
So she refused to hand over the township's voting tabulator without any assurances that the critical records wouldn't be erased.
So she preserved a copy of the electronic poll book data that the Bureau of Election instructs clerks in Michigan to delete after seven days, seven days after the final canvas of the election.
So, you know, with an expert analysis, she uncovered discrepancies between the state version of recorded votes and what the local certified result and the local certified results and citing about an 11.5% mismatch.
Now, it's a very conservative county and big school thought that says that one of the major theft mechanisms, which is discussed openly by these Venezuelan whistleblowers, is that they would shave votes off of the conservative counties so that they didn't have to make such a large leap of fraud in the not-so-conservative counties.
So it kind of jives with what we've heard.
And so effectively, she found a discrepancy between the state election records and the local election records, and she made some noise about it.
And for simply questioning these procedures and questioning these discrepancies and seeking legal advice, Stephanie was stripped of her election duties by the state.
The county came in and took over all subsequent elections while she was serving as clerk.
The township-owned election equipment was seized from her office during an active election, and she was recalled from office.
Then in 2024, years after this happened, she was charged with multiple felonies, including that would give her up to seven years in prison.
Sound familiar?
And these charges and these felonies were for allegedly unauthorized access to these machines and misconduct, all stemming from her efforts to ensure election integrity.
These charges have changed her life entirely.
She's lost her career.
She's got a lot of family stress, defamation.
I mean, I've seen some of the attacks upon Stephanie.
I mean, if you've seen the attacks against Tina Peters, I'm sure you know what kind of attacks these are.
It's not right.
And all Stephanie was doing was standing for the truth and standing for integrity of our elections.
And just recently, though, Stephanie has obtained legal counsel by the name of Dave Coleman.
He's a great lawyer.
He's on my short list of people to contact if I ever get into legal trouble.
And Dave Coleman's going to be representing her.
But she needs some financial support for her legal defense as she's facing these literally, this is malicious prosecution at its worst.
She was doing her job just like Tina was doing her job.
But I'm going to put out an appeal here if I could.
You can pop up the Give Send Go page.
She's got an appeal to get her the support that she needs for this legal battle.
What they're trying to do is use lawfare to drain these people of all their financial resources as a mechanism for discouraging people from doing what is right and digging into these election fraud claims.
Here we had a duly elected clerk doing what all of us are asking clerks to do, which is protect the integrity of our elections.
And simply for questioning the integrity of the elections, she effectively got removed from office and then had charges filed against her by an attorney general that is less than ethical, I would submit.
So if you can support her, please go to her Give Send Go page.
It's give send go slash Stephanie Scott Legal.
So if you can just go to give sendgo.com slash Stephanie Scott Legal, please help her out as you are able.
She's a good lady, and she really appreciates your help.
So, with that, I don't know if we got Kara's available.
Yeah, let's plug in and get our DC update from Kara Castranova.
Kara, how's it going?
Hey, how are you, Patrick?
Just living the dream.
So, what's going on?
A lot, lots going on in D.C., a lot of news today.
Carolyn Levich has had a briefing that was packed because President Trump is meeting with Maduro's opposition, Machado, today.
She's here at the White House.
They had lunch, and there's a lot of journalists sort of just trying to catch a picture of her as she leaves.
A lot of the photographers here sort of just trying to catch that photo.
So, more than the usual amount of reporters here today in the briefing room, it was packed.
Riley Gaines made a special appearance.
She was in town for the SCOTUS hearings.
There were two cases ruling on gender, transgenders in sports, and that was two days ago.
So, she was here today in town, and she was here in the media room, and she got to ask Carolyn Levitt a question regarding those SCOTUS rulings.
Take a listen.
I was in Washington, D.C. earlier this week for the Supreme Court case.
There were two arguments that were heard surrounding sex-based rights and if it's constitutional for states to pass laws that ultimately protect those rights for women.
If the Supreme Court rules as anticipated in favor of maintaining these sex-based rights, is the administration prepared to take action against the states, I believe at this point it's 23 states that don't have those protections for women?
Absolutely.
And as you know, Riley, the administration already has done so.
We've taken action in a number of fronts against these states who are failing to uphold the president's executive orders in this administration's policy of simply protecting women in women's sports and in women's private spaces.
We've gone to the mat with large universities in this country as well to try to fight for what's fair and what's just for women and girls across the country.
So, I know you were at the arguments.
I listened to them myself as a woman and as a former athlete.
And I think the president speaks on common sense on this issue: that women's sports and private spaces should be protected and that there are two genders, there are two sexes.
That is not something we should be afraid to say in this country.
And I think, frankly, it was quite alarming to not only hear a couple of justices gravel over that basic fundamental biological fact that men and women are different but inherently equal, but we are certainly different and women deserve such rights.
We hope and expect that the Supreme Court will rule in the right way on this matter.
So, we're definitely looking forward to that Supreme Court ruling.
There were a lot of activists outside of there two days ago.
I spoke to some of them, a lot of young girls, really pleading with the Supreme Court to stand up for women's sports and keep men out of locker rooms.
So, more to come as that decision comes out, hopefully in the near future.
And Carolyn Levitt also gave a Maduro update on what's going on with Maduro and Venezuela.
Take a listen.
Carolyn, thank you very much.
A lot to talk about.
Sure.
What can I do?
What can you share about the president's meeting with Maria Carina Machado?
Is it underway?
What can you share about that?
And also, the President said yesterday that Delsi Roger Riga was, quote, a terrific person.
Does the president trust the remaining members of the Maduro regime?
I will say, to your first question, the meeting was about to begin as I was stepping out of the Oval Office moments ago.
So my understanding is that it's underway right now.
I know the President was looking forward to this meeting, and he was expecting it to be a good and positive discussion with Ms. Machado, who is really a remarkable and brave voice for many of the people of Venezuela.
So, the president looks forward to obviously talking to her about the realities on the ground in the country and what is taking place.
As for Ms. Rodriguez, the president did speak with her directly this week.
As you know, he revealed that to all of you yesterday.
And Secretary Rubio and the administration have been in constant communication with Ms. Rodriguez and other members of the interim government in Venezuela.
They have been extremely cooperative.
They have thus far met all of the demands and requests of the United States and of the President.
And I think you have all seen that play out.
We obviously had a $500 million energy deal that was struck in large part because of the cooperation from Ms. Rodriguez.
Venezuela and Ms. Rodriguez have also confirmed that they will be releasing political prisoners from Venezuela.
There were five Americans who were recently released this week as well.
So the President likes what he's seeing and will expect that cooperation to continue.
Regarding the investigation, so that was that update on Maduro, President Trump.
Actually, Carolyn Levitt also answered an interesting question on classified information that was leaked, as you know, by the Washington Post.
And really a question a lot of journalists wonder.
There are protections, obviously, for journalists when you do leak classified information.
More penalties usually go to the person who actually leaked it if they have a security clearance.
So some concern from journalists what the ramifications would be to journalists who asked that question today.
This was Carolyn Levitt's response.
Regarding the investigation into the leak that the president referenced yesterday, what is the administration's position on the Washington Post reporter?
The Post has reported that she was told that she is not a target of the investigation.
Does the administration believe she did anything wrong?
And then also, what is the administration's position on the Pentagon Papers case from the 1970s that affirmed reporters' right to publish classified information under certain circumstances?
Well, since this is an active investigation, I don't want to comment on it much more than what we did yesterday to obviously confirm the investigation.
And I can confirm what the Attorney General stated and the President as well, which is that the individual, unfortunately, a contractor at the Pentagon, chose to unlawfully leak classified and very serious information to this Washington Post reporter, hence why the reporter's home was looked into by the FBI, rightfully so.
And the administration is not going to tolerate leaks, especially from within the national security apparatus of the United States government, that put our nation's integrity and our national security at risk.
Full stop.
The president will not support that.
I know the Secretary of War will not support that, and it will not stand.
And legal action will be taken against anyone, whether it's a member of the press or whether it's an employee for a federal agency who breaks the law.
If you break the law and if you endanger our men and women in uniform, you are going to be held accountable, period, full stop.
Does this administration believe that this reporter or any reporter has a right to publish classified information under certain circumstances?
Look, I think that we do not believe that individuals who have been given the privilege of holding a top-secret clearance should be illegally leaking that classified information.
And I know the American people agree with that.
And I think it's a basic tenet of journalistic integrity not to publish information that could directly endanger the operational security or the brave men and women who are serving this country in uniform and putting themselves in harm's way to protect not just the people of this administration, but all of you in the press and all of their fellow Americans as well.
Jackie.
Thank you, Caroline.
I think she nailed it.
She did.
It was a good answer.
And it harkens back to the corner.
Necessarily agree.
I don't.
I'm not going to say agree because I do believe that journalists can.
I have myself published classified information under the Biden regime that was leaked to me.
So if the person that leaked, which I protect as a source, obviously, is obviously caught by the government.
That's a different story.
But journalists, if they are leaked classified information, and that's probably why this Washington Post report, I don't believe, was arrested.
I mean, they could go after the leaker, but the reporter, if I get a classified stack of papers that land on my desk, I'm going to use my own, you know, moral compass.
I think if it endangers people, obviously I'm not putting it out there.
But in the case when I put out classified information, Patrick, it was about some really bad things that the Biden administration was doing pertaining to January 6th defendants.
And I released that and I was protected as a journalist because I'm not the one who leaked it.
I'm just the one that published it.
No, no, I understand.
And that's why I think her answer was perfect because it highlights: are you putting good Americans that are engaged in risky activities on behalf of our security?
Are you putting them in danger?
I mean, are you disclosing, for example, the identity of a secret agent or somebody in Russia providing information on the Kremlin, right?
You don't want to share that information.
But what was happening in J6 was lawless on the part of government in the first place.
So I totally understand where you're coming from.
But this all harkens back to the kerfuffle around the policy that Pete Hex has put out around the Secretary of War around the Pentagon, right?
And it's why Lindell TV is one of those few organizations that agree to the terms provided by the Pentagon.
And reporters, like the guy that was asking that question, did not sign on to that because they wanted these Pentagon employees to leak in confidential information to them.
And so anyway, I just it harkens back to the importance of that because you know it's true.
Some of this information is just exposing some really bad guys.
I'm all for it.
Right.
Some of this information is exposing tactics and operational details that put our troops at risk or agents at risk.
And that's not acceptable.
Right.
And I definitely think you have to just really, you know, ask yourself as a journalist what comes first.
You know, and for me, it certainly would be not putting the nation at risk.
I'm going to just summarize the next clip because it is long.
Carolyn was asked about the Insurrection Act, which she said that the president has the authority, it has the precedent, and Democrats are being warned when asked if the president would invoke the Insurrection Act and what it would take for him to invoke it.
What is the tipping point, as the way the journalists put it?
That was actually what I was going to ask as well.
So Carolyn was very blunt, saying that President Trump's message was aimed at Democrat governors and mayors who are encouraging obstruction of federal law enforcement and refusing to cooperate in removing violent criminals from American cities, and that the Democrats are holding their state, local law enforcement hostage, and their behavior is shameful and despicable, especially in sanctuary states.
So that was Carolyn's message regarding that insurrection act that everybody's talking about.
The president might invoke that any day now if the situation doesn't improve in Minnesota.
Really pivoting yesterday, I was at the J6 committee hearing at Congress, the first committee hearing this year.
Really just very triggering, I guess, to be there watching the likes of Jamie Raskin, who was on the last committee, still on the committee.
Don't know how that happened, considering all the lies that came out and how they literally shredded documents, destroyed videos, and obstructed justice with all the evidence that came out of the last one.
They wouldn't even need to pay taxpayers, use taxpayer dollars to have a second one.
If they had preserved all that information, that could just be reanalyzed, but that stuff magically disappeared.
So I asked certain questions of Jasmine Crockett and Jamie Raskin.
Jasmine Crockett, another Democrat sitting as a member on this committee, really just repeating the same propaganda lies as if the American public believes.
And they don't, or else they wouldn't have voted President Trump in with the popular vote.
They no longer believe the Fed surrection lies.
And as you know, Jasmine Crockett was crying crocodile tears for Renee Goode.
Really fake.
I don't know where she took her acting classes.
I know she thinks she's Hollywood.
She now travels around the Capitol building with minions carrying poster boards.
They cover her up with these poster boards so that she doesn't get caught on camera.
It's really comical, as well as Betty Mail security guards that like to shove reporters, as I was shoved yesterday.
Take a watch.
Miss Crockett, why did you?
He just pushed me.
Miss Crockett, why were you crying for Renee Goode?
But you wouldn't cry for Ashley Babbitt, Miss Crockett.
You were crying fake tears for Renee Good, but not for Ashley Babbitt.
This is, come on.
She's right there.
There's Miss Crockett who was crying crocodile tears for Renee Goode, but was crying no tears for Ashley Babbitt.
Thank you for that.
Yeah, she ran out the door with her with her poster board followers covering her up.
And then she came back in because she doesn't have to re-enter through security and she knew I would have to go back through security.
So it was a dirty trick she played and then went back inside.
I had to go back through security and so did my cameraman.
We also caught up with Jamie Raskin.
We waited for him as well.
Really wanted to get some questions and he was up there just lying through his teeth.
It was nauseating.
I don't know how this man sleeps at night.
Here is me questioning Jamie Raskin outside of that hearing.
Hi, Mr. Raskin.
How are you?
Fantastic hearing.
You did a great job spreading the same lies from the first J6 unselect committee.
Do you care about women that get beaten to death by police?
Like Roseanne Boylan, did you know that this woman was killed by J6 police?
This is her picture.
Do you care?
Do you not care?
I guess you figure your pardon, that auto pen pardon, must keep you sleeping at night, sir.
Sir, do you think that you might go to jail possibly for your J6 crimes?
Are you still advocating for civil war conditions?
Or is that over, sir?
Thanks for the lies, Congressman.
Keep spreading the propaganda.
And what about Roseanne?
What about Roseanne Boylan that was killed by Capitol Police?
Jocelyn Bell and Speaker, can you guys come with me sickly?
They are not used to having recorders get in, you know, and hold them accountable.
So I appreciate you and everything that's being done at Lindell TV to hold these guys accountable.
I mean, I'm a former legislator, so I'm one of those rare guys that whenever somebody had a disagreement with me, I'd go right up to them and have the discussion.
And I actually welcome that.
It hones the debate.
But if you got something to hide, and if you don't want to have that debate, that tells everybody everything they need to know.
Right.
Certainly.
He certainly has a lot to hide when it comes to J6.
Like he, like all of those documents, maybe they're in his closet and who knows they straight at Jamie Raskin's house, in my opinion, and look for all of those videos of those testimonies.
Thousands and thousands of hours of testimony, according to Representative Lautermil, who I'd spoken to and interviewed, disappeared.
Literally is not there.
They literally destroyed it.
And I just cannot believe that these people got pardons, auto-pen pardons.
And like I said to him, I guess that helps you sleep at night, thinking you're pardoned and that you're not going to be arrested for literally destroying and tampering with evidence.
And he had no response to that.
He took off in an elevator.
And I guess we'll see him at the next hearing, Patrick.
Well, hopefully those autopen pardons are completely vanish.
And maybe he won't be sleeping well at night anymore.
Like a lot of our J-Six prisoners were not sleeping very well at night during their internment.
Maybe he'll be able to get a first-hand experience of what it was like, hopefully.
So, thank you very much for your persistence on that and your dogged reporting and thankfully holding these guys accountable.
I'm sure I saw a lot of other ABC, FBC, CBS reporters, you know, following Jamie Raskin there, asking all these tough questions.
I mean, were they hiding off camera, by the way?
There were a lot of reporters there.
They certainly weren't asking questions, not of Jamie Raskin.
Obviously, they believe his propaganda talking points, and they reported them as such for four years.
But the American people see through it now.
Thank God.
Thank you.
Well, it's because of efforts from folks like yourself.
So, thank you very much, Para.
I appreciate it.
And now, we're going to go to a quick break.

Hi, everyone.
Welcome back to the Mike Lindell Show.
My name is Patrick Kolbeck, and we're going to go over kind of a detailed breakdown into a couple of key topics.
One is the security of our election systems in the United States under the protective guidance of the Election Assistance Commission.
And then the next is a discussion over some of the findings of Martin Rudil, who's a who emigrated from Venezuela before the communists took over or when the communists took over.
He's part of that 8 million mass migration from Venezuela in the wake of that communist takeover.
And he engaged in an investigation with other investigators such as Gary Bernson and Patrick Byrne to find out exactly how our elections are being manipulated through under the auspices of Venezuelan government.
So we're going to get into that in the second part.
But the first thing I wanted to hit on is a topic near and dear to my heart, and it deals with the machines.
Mike talks about them all the time.
I talk about them all the time.
And by machines, I'm referring to the electronic voting systems that manage the tallying of the votes in U.S. elections and elections worldwide, wherever they use these machines.
And as someone who's been engaged on this topic for quite a few years, I'm in quite a few email threads with various leaders in election integrity all across the country.
And in one of these email threads, I was a recipient of an email from, on behalf of the chairman of the Election Assistance Commission, a gentleman by the name of Donald Palmer.
And he's a Republican, and I'm sure he's trying to do a good job up in context of the EAC duties that have been assigned.
But he issued the following statement.
And I just want to put this up here because he's talking effectively the end takeaway on this statement is that, guys, you know, there are no security vulnerabilities you need to be worried about with these electronic voting systems.
And any security gaps that there may be, if you just give us some more money, we'll be able to take care of them and fill those gaps.
In other words, he's trying to give the American people what I believe is a bit of a false sense of security regarding the integrity of our election.
So I want to take a few moments to demonstrate why I believe this is a false sense of security.
For those of you who don't know, my background is I'm a certified Microsoft Small Business Specialist.
I'm a former Michigan State Senator, served two terms in the Michigan Senate, served as vice chair of the Elections and Government Reform Committee.
I was a poll challenger at the TCF Center out in Detroit during the 2020 election.
But before all that fun stuff, I was actually a design engineer working for Boeing on the International Space Station.
And I was responsible for critical systems on board space station.
I was responsible for designing several of the subsystems within the Environmental Control and Life Support System on the International Space Station.
These were designated as critical systems.
Obviously, the astronauts thought they were very critical systems.
You couldn't afford a failure of this because if you had a failure of these systems, you would have loss of life.
Well, our election systems have been designated as critical infrastructure, which means that a failure of these systems, a failure of our election system means a loss of our nation.
And so it is something that should be taken very, very seriously.
And so it spurred me to evaluate the comments made by the current EAC chair, Donald Palmer, in context of this designation as critical infrastructure.
And so I did a bit of a deep dive.
And you can see my report, my analysis of do we meet the standard of our election systems being treated as critical infrastructure.
And you can see this post up on the Election Crime Bureau website.
It's under the security of electronic voting systems and system at risk.
And if you scroll down there, you can get a link to the full report and include a copy of the abstract, the statements made by the EAC chair, as you can see right there.
But it goes into a lot more detail in this report.
It's about a 56-page report.
And I just want to kind of highlight a few of the key assertions in there.
It demonstrates that the security of our election systems is not sufficient.
So we've got ineffective code oversight.
We've got compromised trusted builds.
We've got insufficient penetration testing.
And frankly, our supply chain is completely unmanaged.
And that's a big deal when part of that supply chain involves getting components for our electronic voting systems from our adversaries, like China.
This is a big deal.
And so for us to sit there and make a statement that says, hey, guys, we got it all under control.
And anything we don't have under control, just throw us a few more bucks.
And we got that covered too.
I don't know if that's so accurate.
So I put together a quick little presentation, if you will, around some of the core concerns.
And I'm just hoping to walk through a little bit of that with you quickly here today.
And so first and foremost, let's go over the core assertions that were made by Donald Palmer.
He made four basic core assertions.
And if you could pop up item four, please.
Oh, sorry, item five.
And go over to the next area here.
So he talked about how this concept of a universal key that gave access to all these systems was something that did not exist.
There is no single key that unlocks all of our electronic voting systems across all platforms.
He also said that they conduct independent review.
The Idaho National Lab was cited.
They never identified any of this issue with the universal key or anything like that or any vulnerability like that.
He also said that the EAC and their lab partners like ProVNB and I can't remember the other one.
Anyway, Pro-VNB are trustworthy and they take care of, they effectively evaluate every single trusted build put out by our electronic voting systems.
And then the last is that they have independent authorities go off and conduct vulnerability testing, penetration testing on these systems to see whether or not there's any vulnerability.
So these were the core assertions and they were designed to give us this sense of security around our electronic voting systems.
But I decided to go a little bit further than that, beyond the face value of the statements, and actually go off and evaluate and peel back the onion layers on some of these statements.
And basically, the idea that there is no universal key kind of betrays the fact that there is a shared architecture across all these components.
And as the Venezuelan whistleblowers have attested to, which were senior election officials, they've got like at least 14 different methods or mechanisms in these electronic voting systems that enable the compromise of these systems.
And when coupled with horrible practices regarding account security, this is a big deal.
And we just saw Jenna Griswold had BIOS passwords for the electronic voting systems exposed for months in the state of Colorado.
So, all right, so first thing is refute the whole universal key.
His response on the universal key here, I don't think holds the test of time or it doesn't hold water.
So keep on going.
And the idea that even without a universal key, we've got a universal key under the mat, if you will, with some of the databases that are used across platforms.
So there's this tool called SQL Server Management Studio that's installed in a lot of these trusted builds, if you will, that allows for manipulation of election results without any detection.
And that tool was identified not only in the Mesa County, Colorado image that was preserved by Tina Peters, but also in Antrim County and also in Maricopa County.
So these tools shouldn't be there.
Their only reason that they'd be there is to actually facilitate manipulation of election results without detection.
So if you keep on going on this presentation, there's this idea of independent oversight.
Well, this is literally this circle of trust that they put together is a revolving door where personnel revolve from voting system vendors to the testing organizations to government oversight.
I mean, we have a lady by the name of Jennifer Bowers, who was a former senior vice president at Dominion, who was actually serving as a person in charge of certification of these trusted builds by the Election Assistance Commission.
So, excuse me, that's a bit of a concern, I would think.
So, if you continue on with some of his assertions, the whole idea of these trusted builds, well, they shouldn't be trusted for one very simple reason, is that when they're deployed, they erase all of the evidence, all the chain of custody data, all the election records in violation of federal law.
They erase them when they're deployed and overwrite the previous trusted build.
That is a concern in and of itself.
And you continue on.
There's the last idea of these penetration testing that's going on here.
Listen, my background is in aerospace engineering.
I do a lot of systems engineering efforts as a part of that in my career.
There's a big difference between looking at a single component of a system and then looking at everything it ties into.
For example, when they're doing the testing on these electronic voting systems, they're not looking at the whole network environment that these systems are installed upon when they're actually testing them.
And so the bottom line is the EAC themselves, or CISA, actually issued a report in the wake of the 2020 election, and they highlighted how there were vulnerabilities to these deployed election systems that had been compromised.
And they have evidence of this in their assessments.
And so this is from CISA, you know, the same organization that said the 2020 election was the most secure election in American history.
Well, these are the metrics coming directly out of CISA saying that key elements of the election system had been compromised.
So, guys, on the face of it, I don't know if I can, if the arguments around the fact that the Election Assistance Commission provides sufficient oversight to secure the integrity of our elections is going to hold water, guys.
There are critical vulnerabilities that still need to be addressed.
And I would submit that the only way to go off and secure our elections going forward, like Mike says, is to get rid of these electronic voting systems once and for all and return to hand counts of paper ballots.
There's too much trust involved in the current system with these voting systems and too little transparency.
And it's about time we went back to the way we used to count our votes, and that was with hand counts of paper ballots.
Now, I kind of want to shift gears for the sake of time and go into a discussion of what Martine Rodil has shared because right now the events on Venezuela are in the headlines.
It's important to the national security of the United States to discuss what's really going on in Venezuela and the risks that they posed.
And it's important for all of our viewers to understand that what has happened in Venezuela was not the traditional government, particularly not a traditional democratically elected government.
Venezuela was ruled by an arco-state.
They're ruled by a criminal organization known as the Cartel de los Solas.
That is the equivalent of saying that Al Capone was running the country at Venezuela.
And so Nicolas Maduro, as we saw, had a $50 million indictment against it that President Trump enforced with law enforcement from the U.S. and support from the U.S. military to bring Maduro to justice as the kingpin of this crime syndicate.
But a lot of the information, a lot of the evidence of what went into this, why it was necessary to indict and then later arrest Nicolas Maduro goes well beyond drug trafficking.
And one of the experts on exactly what's involved with Nicolas Maduro, as well as the bigger picture of Cartel de los Solas, is a gentleman by the name of Martín Rodil.
And Martín joined with the XCIA station chief of Bolivia, Gary Burnson, and also Patrick Byrne.
They engaged in a year-long investigation into this cartel.
And through their investigation, they made a lot of very interesting discoveries.
And I just want to pop up why this cartel is so important.
If you take a look at this diagram, there's over $2.7 trillion in wealth manipulated through this organization.
So that is an organized crime syndicate with very deep pockets and very dangerous friends in the form of China and Russia and Iran and Cuba.
So this is a big deal.
And they sought to leverage that financial wealth that they had and they made investments.
And among these investments was investment in election technology that could be used to subvert and use the same cherished devices of the democratic process that we have called elections.
They actually sought to use those elective processes against us and subvert them through the use of these electronic voting systems, which is why these security risks that we were talking about just not too long ago are so important.
So without further ado, I want to go through.
I think Lara Logan did a great introduction of Martín Rodil.
And I just want to roll the clip on who Martín Rodil is and why he's so important in this when it comes to these Venezuelan headlines.
Martín Rodil is a name that most Americans are not familiar with, but it is one that you are definitely not going to forget after you hear what he knows and what he's been doing for the past, you know, basically for all of his life, for the past some 21 years since 2005, investigating transnational corruption, national security issues, and intelligence matters.
But what makes Martín the man of the moment at this moment in Venezuela is his work working with U.S. agencies to investigate Cartel de los Sols, which is the main cartel in Venezuela, and of course Nicolas Maduro.
And Martín has spent the better part of the last 10 years working on the indictment for Maduro and working with multiple U.S. agencies, but primarily with the DEA Special Operations Division.
So, Martine, thank you so much for making time with us.
I know there's a lot at stake right now.
You're rushing from one thing to the next, but it is very important.
Americans, you know, our media has betrayed us for so long.
The country was so focused on bringing down Donald Trump and fake news stories about Russia collusion that never happened and an insurrection that was really a setup to cover stolen election and all of that.
And people don't understand how many of these things directly relate to the work that you've been doing, investigating transnational criminal organizations, cartels, other now terrorist organizations under U.S. law, and how all of these things come together.
So it, and then for a lot of people, you know, the indictment of Nicolas Maduro and of course the recent action came as a real surprise because Maduro has been indicted for years, but nobody ever acted upon that until now.
So it would be a great place to start would just be understanding what your role has been in the Nicolas Maduro indictments.
Laura, I've been working, as I mentioned to you earlier since 2005 on doing investigations that were related or to the Venezuelan regime, who later become known as Cartel de los Oles.
So for the last 21 years of my life, I've been putting all my effort on investigating.
Actually, I started my career investigating the presence of the Iranian regime in Venezuela.
So that's how I started all this work.
I was focusing on what was the nature of the relationship that Iran has with Venezuela and the financial world.
So after that, we started investigating the next things that was connected to Iran, which was Hezbollah and the connectivity of Hezbollah into the drug trade coming out of Colombia via Venezuela.
And then after that, the present of Hamas.
And after that, then the drug trafficking that ended coming into the United States.
So that's how one thing was taking to another, to the next, to the next.
And then around 2008, I started working with DASOD out of Chantilly, Virginia.
So I got recruited by them when I was briefing actually the U.S. Congress on the Iranian Hezbollah threat in Latin America.
So very interesting past and definitely a man for the times.
He's using his talents for good and helping investigators make the case for what is going on in Venezuela because a lot of what they're trying to do effectively is destabilize the United States from within through the drug trafficking that's going on.
They're killing Americans.
This is part of what they call a hybrid war, where they're actively trying to take down an enemy and weaken them from within.
They're doing this via the drug culture.
They're doing this via Trende Aragua, creating chaos and crime in the streets of the United States.
And they're doing it via money laundering and manipulation of our financial system.
They're also doing it via these electronic voting systems that we were talking about.
And our own Lindell TV's own Emerald Robinson sat down with Martin and had a discussion of where this is all headed.
And I think you're going to want to hear what Martine has to say.
Let me ask you, because my audience is, you know, very wary of nation building, that they're wary of.
But what they're a lot about is what has been done to our country, the hybrid warfare, the infrastructure, the election rigging, right?
So Delsey says she's going to comply with the U.S. government.
You seem to be confident that she's going to because they've, you know, got her by the, you know, what.
She's all colourful.
She's under the gun.
But how does her brother, Jorge, factor into this?
Look, he did that software.
He oversaw that for Shah.
I had an effect here in the United States.
Taking our election, specifically the 2020 election, you provided that briefing, that information to Elon Musk, who took it to others in Trump team.
You worked with people.
I got one more minute.
You worked with people around to make sure that they knew how to secure, you know, that led to the securing of the 2024 election.
And now they know how they so will the people who were involved in cheating our democracy, right, destroying our democracy, like Jorge Rodriguez and the people in the America who was complicit and help with all, do you think they're going to be held accountable?
Will there be indictments on that front from the U.S. government?
Listen, I won't be able to talk about the criminal investigations that are being currently conducted by the U.S. government, not only on that part, but other connected pieces of the criminality.
I'm very confident that the United States government will pursue those investigations to the end to bring justice to the manipulation of the United States elections.
Now, I want to address one thing about nation building.
Here's the difference between Venezuela and other countries where the U.S. has entered before.
There's no invasion happening here.
It's like you break a juanit.
Number one.
Number two, that country is sitting on the largest oil reserve of the world.
That country have enough resources, it's just being stolen, but have enough resources to pay back to U.S. taxpayer even every dollar that has been spent in this operation, military operation for the last five months, two, three times $3 per each dollar has been spent by the U.S.
So this is actually President Trump great deal making here because taxpayer will actually make money out of this operation.
Not only will destroy the election machine headquarters where they were controlling elections around the world.
It will destroy the drug trafficking that killed the kids in the United States and poison the American people.
It also will destroy the headquarters for Trendaragua, TDA, who was deployed by Maduro inside the United States to wage a war against us.
So this is actually a very good thing the president is doing because it's kicking out of the region China, Iran, Russia, and Cuba.
Well, Cuba's in the region, but from out of Venezuela, and marrying and doing the marriage of the U.S. oil industry with the Venezuelan resources.
So at the end of the day, this will be a win-win situation.
So I think it's easy to understand by listening to Martine that what is happening in Venezuela is much larger than taking out a few cigar boats with hellfire missiles.
This is a big deal, and it's got a lot of geopolitical ramifications.
And if you want to find out more about Martin, you want to find out more about the evidence that he has in support of many of his assertions, go to our Election Crime Bureau site.
We've got a whole page dedicated to testimony here of Gary Bernson.
If you go down further, they've collected a whole timeline worth of evidence out of the website called stolenelectionfacts.com.
You can click right to it from the Election Crime Bureau website and zero in on it.
And also, if you haven't read it yet, and I'm someone who's written a book on the 2020 elections called the 2022, if you only have time to read one book on the elections, read stolen elections by Ralph Pazzillo, not mine.
It is packed with undeniable evidence and support of everything that Martine was saying, everything at Gary Bernstein's saying, everything at Patrick Burns saying.
So I encourage you to check into that and share it with your friends and family.
We've got to get this word out there.
Lindell TV is doing our best to get the word out there, but you can help spread the word about what's really going on in Venezuela and how it ties into our compromise elections in the United States.
So I'm going to end today's broadcast with something that I think is very important because right now we're living in some pretty turbulent times.
It seems that one of our core issues as Americans is that we're extremely divided.
And I think it's because we've lost this sense of shared values that we used to have as a nation.
For many years, we had this concept of shared purpose, of shared values.
Well, I think through the efforts of folks that are enemies of America, they've been trying to undermine these core values for quite a while, not in our movies and Hollywood, but also in our schools and our education system.
I mean, I fought that battle when I was serving in the Michigan Senate, where they were trying to change our social study standards and push topics and push subjects that were frankly anti-American.
And thankfully, I and others stood up to that at the time.
But it highlights that the truth of the statement that the price of liberty is eternal vigilance.
And we need to always be vigilant.
And if we ever lose our way, though, I want to point everybody to a monument that I came across during my tenure as a Michigan State Senator.
My wife and I had, during one of our summer vacations, went off to Plymouth, Massachusetts and went to Mayflower, Plymouth Rock.
And when we came back, we saw this documentary called Monumental featuring Kirk Cameron.
And it talked about this monument that was in Plymouth, Massachusetts that we did not even see while we were there because we had no idea it was there.
And this monument was put in place should America ever lose its way, lose its appreciation for what our core values are and what makes us truly exceptional as a nation.
And I just want to end the broadcast today with this short clip with a visit to this monument called the Matrix of Liberty and a short little trailer featuring Kirk Cameron.
I wish they had left us some kind of a training manual, some kind of a secret sauce recipe card that we could pick up and go, all right, here's what it is, here's what we do.
What do we do?
How do we get back to that?
You know, when the children of Israel going into the promised land, they crossed the Jordan River and God stood it on in and they walked across.
And before the waters stopped parting, God told them to take 12 stones from the bottom of the river and put it up on the top of Mount Gilgal and make a monument.
So that when your children ask, what are these stones, they will be able, you'll be able to tell them this is where God parted the seed.
And that's what the pilgrims left us.
They left us a monument that not only gives tribute to what was accomplished here, but it gives us a specific strategy, a breakout of a blueprint of if we would ever forget what made America great, what made us free, we can go back and follow that strategy and it's right up on a hill a half mile from here.
Right here?
Right here.
It's the largest granite monument in America and it's hidden on a hilltop overlooking Plymouth in a residential neighborhood.
I've never heard of this.
Hardly anybody in America knows about it and yet the people of America put this together over a 70-year period.
Paid for by the Congress, paid for by the state legislature in Massachusetts as a strategy laid out and called the Matrix of Liberty that was given to us by the forefathers, by the pilgrims.
What built America?
This is it.
And if we want to try something else, yeah, people can try other things.
But in the history of the world, the one strategy that has brought more liberty, more prosperity, and more joy than any other is this strategy.
