My frozen food is wild Fork. 54 00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:00.000 Actual. 55 00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:02.599 I have to move my will Fork meets aside where 56 00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:04.919 when I go for my frettatas and burritos. 57 00:03:04.919 --> 00:03:09.080 But still such a shame, such a shame. Yep. 58 00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:14.240 All right, Oh wow, A lot going on today, and 59 00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:16.639 it's going to be a little bit of election news 60 00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:20.599 coming up between now and of course Tuesday, where we're 61 00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:23.439 not going to hear very much on Tuesday other than 62 00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:26.960 the local races. As Neil pointed out earlier yesterday. As 63 00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:29.520 a matter of fact, the propositions will get some information 64 00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:33.919 on that, and of course we should do the commercials 65 00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:35.280 on the propositions. 66 00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:38.520 And because I was watching. 67 00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:41.479 A commercial last night and it's and this won't pay 68 00:03:41.520 --> 00:03:44.000 you a prop thirty five, I think, whatever it is 69 00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:48.120 and you want you it won't cost you one more 70 00:03:48.520 --> 00:03:50.479 dime in taxes kind of thing. 71 00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:51.360 So vote. 72 00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:57.599 Well, what it does is extend the tax indefinitely that 73 00:03:57.759 --> 00:04:00.560 was put up for a temporary tax to pay. 74 00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:02.360 For whatever somebody you know in terms of school. 75 00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:05.360 And so when the vote, when they tell you this 76 00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:10.199 won't charge you just a die more nothing. It misses 77 00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:13.560 the point completely, of course it does. What it says 78 00:04:13.759 --> 00:04:15.800 is there's no such thing as a temporary tax. You 79 00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:17.240 put it on the ballot, you pass it. 80 00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:18.600 Done. 81 00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:19.399 It's there forever. 82 00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:25.199 Have we ever honored a couple of times? 83 00:04:25.399 --> 00:04:28.639 Very rarely we have honored it. Rarely have we honored 84 00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:33.439 and allowed a law to sunset? Very rarely. All right, guys, 85 00:04:33.879 --> 00:04:36.839 let's do it. It is time on this Friday morning, 86 00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:40.040 November one, my daughter getting married tomorrow. 87 00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:46.120 You should be happy, you know. 88 00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:49.560 I don't know why I'm not as happy as I 89 00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:54.000 should be. Maybe because I'm paying for it all So 90 00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:57.639 what you think that has a little to do with 91 00:04:57.680 --> 00:04:59.920 it anyway? 92 00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:00.319 All right? 93 00:05:01.399 --> 00:05:03.199 Yeah, yeah, probably has a lot to do with it. 94 00:05:03.240 --> 00:05:05.720 All right, guys, let's do it. It's time for Handle 95 00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:12.120 on the news with Amy and Neil and me lead stories. Well. 96 00:05:12.439 --> 00:05:15.680 As Amy has said, today's the last day she gets 97 00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:19.279 to wear her Dodgers T shirt or her Dodgers jersey 98 00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:22.439 at least as it makes sense, and that is because 99 00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:26.079 the World Series parade goes on today. 100 00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:27.920 The Dodgers will be. 101 00:05:27.959 --> 00:05:33.160 Going down the streets of La Downtown and Double Decker buses, 102 00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:37.040 And here's the route if you're interested in going. It 103 00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:40.519 starts a city hall. It turns right at the burning 104 00:05:40.600 --> 00:05:44.279 trash cans. You then turn left at the bus that's 105 00:05:44.319 --> 00:05:47.079 been burnt out, and then on the street to all 106 00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:54.079 the looted stores. That's welcome to Los Angeles, or welcome 107 00:05:54.120 --> 00:05:55.439 to any city. 108 00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:58.439 They don't do this when someone wins the World Series lacrosse? 109 00:05:58.839 --> 00:05:59.560 Have you noticed that? 110 00:06:01.000 --> 00:06:02.560 Is there a World Series of lacrosse? 111 00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:05.639 I think it's all old white people that go there. 112 00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:06.560 I have no idea. 113 00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:11.800 You know, well, I don't think there's a professional lacrosse, 114 00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:13.399 but I do think there. 115 00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:18.800 Are certainly college lacrosse all white, you know, all rich 116 00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:23.079 white schools. Is lacrosse? Okay? 117 00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:29.120 Just saying Donald Trump protector of women. Donald Trump, on 118 00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:33.079 during a rally in Wisconsin, said he would protect women 119 00:06:33.240 --> 00:06:37.319 whether they like it or not, and of course, the 120 00:06:37.360 --> 00:06:40.800 Harris campaign jumped on that said, it's an issue of 121 00:06:40.839 --> 00:06:45.160 reproductive rights and gender roles, and Kamala Harris's Trump's comments 122 00:06:45.160 --> 00:06:47.720 on women are offensive to everybody I know. 123 00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:51.560 Was he talking in reference to reproductive rights or was 124 00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:53.040 it apples and oranges here? 125 00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:55.000 I think it's apples and oranges. On this one. 126 00:06:55.040 --> 00:06:57.079 I didn't watch the whole thing. Yeah, I don't think 127 00:06:57.120 --> 00:06:58.800 he was talking about reproductive rights. 128 00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:01.800 Yeah, and this is something that he is. And they 129 00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:04.920 didn't know, The Conservatives didn't know there was this much vulnerability, 130 00:07:04.959 --> 00:07:09.920 there was this much pushback on the overturning of Roe v. 131 00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:10.319 Wade. 132 00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:12.240 They thought it was just a win. 133 00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:12.759 It was. 134 00:07:12.839 --> 00:07:15.560 It was a huge win. Donald Trump had put those three. 135 00:07:16.279 --> 00:07:20.360 Supreme Court justices on and said specifically to overturn Row 136 00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:23.439 and he did it, and he was proud of it. 137 00:07:23.639 --> 00:07:27.720 And of course the evangelicals love him, as they should 138 00:07:28.399 --> 00:07:31.040 because he did exactly what they wanted and it's part 139 00:07:31.079 --> 00:07:36.079 of his base. The problem is both he and the 140 00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:41.480 supporters weren't ready for the pushback, and so now he is, well, 141 00:07:41.519 --> 00:07:44.160 they are spinning because there are so many women and 142 00:07:44.199 --> 00:07:46.720 it's such a big, big issue. 143 00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:48.839 And frankly, I don't. 144 00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:50.279 Think the Republicans thought it was going to be this 145 00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:56.319 big an issue reproductive rights. So they because they thought 146 00:07:57.399 --> 00:07:59.680 that it would be a big issue, but not this 147 00:08:00.319 --> 00:08:06.079 because the economy and which has mainly disappeared other than 148 00:08:06.199 --> 00:08:09.959 just the false narrative that's going on, because the economy 149 00:08:10.000 --> 00:08:13.959 is doing fine. The immigration issue you know what, it's 150 00:08:14.040 --> 00:08:16.759 gotten under control far more than it did before. But 151 00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:19.360 you can't give the Democrats. I don't think you can 152 00:08:19.360 --> 00:08:21.519 give the Democrats credit for that because this was in 153 00:08:21.639 --> 00:08:24.120 response to the to. 154 00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:25.720 The enormous. 155 00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:29.639 Influence and the pressure that the Republicans put on. And 156 00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:32.679 then there are some issues there because Trump killed that 157 00:08:32.759 --> 00:08:33.639 bipartisan bill. 158 00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:35.120 So you get a little bit deeper. 159 00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:39.639 But it's it's immigration in the economy and inflation. Even 160 00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:43.399 though inflation is completely under control. Now that's not part 161 00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:46.080 of the Republican narrative at because it's baked in. 162 00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:50.200 You know, our prices are much much higher than they were. 163 00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:54.240 And Donald Trump and as conservatives are saying, let's look 164 00:08:54.279 --> 00:08:55.919 back then, don't look at it now. 165 00:08:57.080 --> 00:08:59.440 You know inflation is under control. Now ignore that. Just 166 00:08:59.440 --> 00:09:00.120 look how much. 167 00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:04.639 Paying for goods and services compared to when Trump was president. 168 00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:08.440 So Trump saying he vows to be the protector of women, 169 00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:11.039 I have no idea what he meant by that, Much 170 00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:15.399 like when he said and I couldn't believe it about 171 00:09:15.440 --> 00:09:19.759 this whole reproductive thing. Women won't think about abortion when 172 00:09:19.799 --> 00:09:23.120 I'm president. I'll make them happy. It won't be an 173 00:09:23.200 --> 00:09:27.320 issue for them. They're going to be happy campers. Really, 174 00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:32.559 they won't think about abortions. It's just insane. So anyways, 175 00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:35.240 he vows to be a protector of women, and I 176 00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:36.519 have no idea what he meant by that. 177 00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:42.600 Okay, all right, as Bill said, everything's great with money. However, 178 00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:46.480 mortgage rates rose for a fifth strate week as pre 179 00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:51.840 election volatility continued to mess up the bond market. The 180 00:09:51.879 --> 00:09:55.679 average thirty year fixed rate mortgage now is six point 181 00:09:55.919 --> 00:10:00.840 seven two percent, and this is Freddy Mack data. This 182 00:10:00.879 --> 00:10:04.120 is up from six point five four percent. And the 183 00:10:04.159 --> 00:10:07.399 fifteen year mortgage rates also increased from five point ninety 184 00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:11.559 nine to five, from five point seven to one. 185 00:10:11.879 --> 00:10:13.759 Yeah, and that's that's a problem. 186 00:10:14.399 --> 00:10:17.360 And this is really the only negative, the only negative 187 00:10:17.360 --> 00:10:19.039 thing we're really looking at the economy. 188 00:10:19.559 --> 00:10:22.200 Inflation totally under control now. 189 00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:26.399 The growth GDP, the growth of the economy doing just great, 190 00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:33.120 employment great, profits for corporations great. So it rates on 191 00:10:33.240 --> 00:10:36.879 a wages rising faster than inflation. 192 00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:38.919 You can't even get it out of your throat, No, 193 00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:41.360 I can't. That's how much crap it is. 194 00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:47.360 That's true, all right, Okay, Just like in the Wizard 195 00:10:47.399 --> 00:10:50.600 of Oz, McDonald's is saying nothing to see here. Nothing 196 00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:52.720 to see here. But while McDonald says that the E. 197 00:10:52.759 --> 00:10:57.559 Coli outbreak is contaminated, i'm not contaminated. Is contained. Sorry. 198 00:10:57.600 --> 00:11:02.440 The number of people infected is up to twenty seven 199 00:11:02.559 --> 00:11:08.320 hospitalized to have developed dangerous kidney complications that could cause 200 00:11:08.360 --> 00:11:11.360 kidney failure. One person in Colorado has died. Thirty three 201 00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:13.600 people are taking legal actions so far. 202 00:11:13.919 --> 00:11:16.799 Yeah, well, I mean, what's McDonald's going to say? No, 203 00:11:17.600 --> 00:11:19.879 you know that's going to settle. Those lawyers are scored, 204 00:11:20.759 --> 00:11:23.679 that's for sure. Obviously, the sicker someone is, the better 205 00:11:23.720 --> 00:11:27.480 off you are legally. You know, I get calls all 206 00:11:27.519 --> 00:11:29.200 the time on that or and I handle on the 207 00:11:29.279 --> 00:11:32.559 law and g bill. You know, I was injured far better. 208 00:11:32.600 --> 00:11:37.600 If you lost your leg, far far better, so far better. 209 00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:39.639 If you're the sicker you are, the better your case. 210 00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:45.600 They did take a pretty massive hit McDonald's. 211 00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:46.360 Just in terms of their stock. 212 00:11:46.840 --> 00:11:49.600 Yeah, well, not only the stock, but people stopped going 213 00:11:49.679 --> 00:11:50.559 in those states. 214 00:11:50.960 --> 00:11:53.039 Now that's going. You don't think that's going to be 215 00:11:53.240 --> 00:11:54.720 long lasting, do you? 216 00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:55.360 No? 217 00:11:55.360 --> 00:11:58.320 No, we forget very quickly, and they seem to have 218 00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:00.639 identified the issue and they stop. 219 00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:03.279 Now you won't see any more because they pulled all 220 00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:06.440 those onions off. Yeah, and they're still now they're selling 221 00:12:06.519 --> 00:12:08.480 quarter pounders again from what I understand, but just no 222 00:12:08.559 --> 00:12:09.440 slivered onions. 223 00:12:10.039 --> 00:12:13.799 Uh yeah in those locations. Uh I'm not sure here 224 00:12:13.799 --> 00:12:15.840 in California if they brought them back yet or not. 225 00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:19.159 What's a slivered onion, by the way, it's little tiny 226 00:12:19.159 --> 00:12:20.000 strips of onion. 227 00:12:20.519 --> 00:12:21.279 Yeah, it's not. 228 00:12:21.600 --> 00:12:23.799 It's bigger than the dice onions you get on the 229 00:12:23.840 --> 00:12:24.600 small burger. 230 00:12:26.519 --> 00:12:27.759 There's the Fork Report for you. 231 00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:29.200 Yeah, I'm here to help. 232 00:12:29.399 --> 00:12:29.679 Yeah. 233 00:12:29.720 --> 00:12:34.320 So CNN says election officials are outmatched by what they 234 00:12:34.399 --> 00:12:39.679 call Elon Musk's mis misinformation machine. And uh, you know 235 00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:43.440 what's funny is they called it X formerly known as 236 00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:44.279 Twitter forever. 237 00:12:44.480 --> 00:12:45.519 Now it's just X. 238 00:12:45.639 --> 00:12:47.639 Yeah, it will be It's going to be there. 239 00:12:48.279 --> 00:12:50.799 And I'm kidding said that, you know at Musk, who's 240 00:12:50.840 --> 00:12:54.440 a huge supporter of Trump obviously. Now, uh, you know, 241 00:12:54.720 --> 00:12:59.559 how how can you trust a platform that has somebody so. 242 00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:02.360 A partisan? 243 00:13:02.440 --> 00:13:03.960 You want to know, how scary it is? 244 00:13:04.600 --> 00:13:08.559 More people trust that platform, I believe, than trust mainstream media. 245 00:13:09.159 --> 00:13:11.360 Well that's I don't know if that that's the scary part. 246 00:13:12.080 --> 00:13:13.440 So that's across the board. 247 00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:17.200 I think it certainly is to a huge extent. I mean, 248 00:13:17.320 --> 00:13:22.039 it is just crazy. Jeff Bezos uh said a few things. 249 00:13:22.039 --> 00:13:24.480 I'm going to talk about that at seven thirty because 250 00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:28.080 tu uh Chuck Todd, who is Meet the Press and 251 00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:31.440 what former White House correspondent, wrote an op ed piece 252 00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:34.600 in The Atlantic. Uh, and he talks about this and 253 00:13:34.679 --> 00:13:38.080 Jeff Bezos in the Washington Post and mainstream media. I 254 00:13:38.120 --> 00:13:40.360 have to tell you, I'm about I'm about to throw 255 00:13:40.399 --> 00:13:42.759 in the towel. I mean, it's it's just the exhaustion 256 00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:46.200 and the defense is so difficult for me that I'm 257 00:13:46.200 --> 00:13:48.600 about to just say, all right, you know, give it up. 258 00:13:48.960 --> 00:13:53.519 You know what is this CNN article doesn't say who's 259 00:13:53.799 --> 00:13:58.600 fact checking CNN? So the circle continues. 260 00:13:58.080 --> 00:14:04.240 To go they fact themselves because major news outlets do 261 00:14:04.399 --> 00:14:09.000 not publish facts usually unless that they're corroborated by one 262 00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:10.240 or another source. 263 00:14:10.840 --> 00:14:12.360 It's supposed to be three sources. 264 00:14:12.480 --> 00:14:12.840 I don't know. 265 00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:16.240 Well, Amy, let me ask you news, what point does 266 00:14:16.840 --> 00:14:23.000 it become believable news when you're quoting Reuters or UPI 267 00:14:23.559 --> 00:14:28.159 or NBC. How much corroboration does it take to say 268 00:14:28.200 --> 00:14:30.639 this is a fact or report it as a fact. 269 00:14:30.840 --> 00:14:34.759 Well, when we're doing something like a breaking news story, 270 00:14:34.879 --> 00:14:38.840 we wait for three sources, okay, to go from it. 271 00:14:38.879 --> 00:14:42.480 But for general stuff, I mean, like we do fact check. 272 00:14:42.559 --> 00:14:46.000 We have to, and you look at what you find out, 273 00:14:46.039 --> 00:14:46.600 and then you. 274 00:14:46.559 --> 00:14:48.120 Call the sources and you follow up. 275 00:14:48.159 --> 00:14:50.480 That's what our editors are great about doing, because there 276 00:14:50.639 --> 00:14:54.799 is so much incorrect information out there, or you know, 277 00:14:55.000 --> 00:14:56.720 missing facts. 278 00:14:56.240 --> 00:15:00.320 Or miss Is it fair to say that when I 279 00:15:00.360 --> 00:15:09.039 see mainstream news outlets, broadcasts, network broadcasts, local broadcasts like ours, 280 00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:10.200 where we take our. 281 00:15:10.080 --> 00:15:14.080 News very seriously, is it fair to say that those 282 00:15:14.200 --> 00:15:17.519 are fact checked? And they are, I. 283 00:15:17.440 --> 00:15:20.840 Would say, more believable what a fact is issued. Is 284 00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:21.600 that fair to say? 285 00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:23.399 I think so, yes, and I will. 286 00:15:23.440 --> 00:15:26.960 But I will also say that I have noticed that 287 00:15:27.600 --> 00:15:32.240 even the sources that we get our news information from 288 00:15:32.759 --> 00:15:33.600 have skewed. 289 00:15:35.159 --> 00:15:38.080 They're skewed left. They used to be kind of down 290 00:15:38.120 --> 00:15:39.840 the middle, but now. 291 00:15:41.440 --> 00:15:44.120 Well, I've always thought mainstream was more liberal than conservative. 292 00:15:44.360 --> 00:15:46.279 Yes, it's become more so. 293 00:15:47.039 --> 00:15:49.519 It's well the editorializing. Like listen, I don't care about 294 00:15:49.519 --> 00:15:51.799 the editorializing. I don't care about that. I'm talking about 295 00:15:51.799 --> 00:15:55.519 resort to this article. This is I rewrote it. But 296 00:15:55.919 --> 00:15:57.240 the CNN article. 297 00:15:57.279 --> 00:16:01.919 The headline was election of thes are outmatched by Elon 298 00:16:02.039 --> 00:16:09.960 Musk's misinformation machine. That's a crap headline. That's an absolutely editorial. 299 00:16:10.159 --> 00:16:11.600 You know, I don't think it is. 300 00:16:11.759 --> 00:16:14.240 I don't. I don't think it is. I think and 301 00:16:14.240 --> 00:16:20.480 it's not so much just on X it's the overwhelming conspiracy. 302 00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:22.960 Or those statements have a lot of questions to them. 303 00:16:23.320 --> 00:16:27.080 To what degree are they saying just Elon Musk's posts? 304 00:16:27.120 --> 00:16:28.039 Are they saying all? 305 00:16:28.320 --> 00:16:31.000 I think they're using Elon Musk as an example because 306 00:16:31.039 --> 00:16:33.559 you also have other conservative posts. 307 00:16:33.559 --> 00:16:37.320 And I tell you you can look at horrible with 308 00:16:37.360 --> 00:16:40.039 someone who used to be in management and is how 309 00:16:40.120 --> 00:16:43.080 to call. The news director on occasion said, hey, one 310 00:16:43.120 --> 00:16:44.320 of one of our. 311 00:16:45.600 --> 00:16:46.960 Acres just said this. 312 00:16:47.360 --> 00:16:52.399 Okay, you know, all right, let's let's let's agree to 313 00:16:52.720 --> 00:16:55.360 the statement. You don't know what the f you're talking about? 314 00:16:55.519 --> 00:16:59.039 Okay, oh boy, come maybe that means. 315 00:16:58.840 --> 00:17:02.120 Vett yeah, has some splining to do. 316 00:17:03.000 --> 00:17:07.680 The Associated Press says that White House press officials have 317 00:17:07.880 --> 00:17:13.519 altered the official transcript of the call between President Biden 318 00:17:13.839 --> 00:17:19.039 and an Hispanic organization. Uh, and the stenographers are ticked. 319 00:17:19.319 --> 00:17:21.799 They're not happy. They said, this is a breach of trust. 320 00:17:23.000 --> 00:17:25.119 The White House sustained we didn't do anything wrong. But 321 00:17:25.319 --> 00:17:30.119 so what we're referencing is Biden's comment that said, the 322 00:17:30.160 --> 00:17:32.880 only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters 323 00:17:32.920 --> 00:17:33.960 referring to Yeah. 324 00:17:33.960 --> 00:17:37.279 That's exactly that's exactly what he said, right, But the 325 00:17:37.839 --> 00:17:41.319 spin here drives me nuts. Just suck it up, say, yep, 326 00:17:41.519 --> 00:17:45.200 I said it, I misspoke. I didn't mean it that way, 327 00:17:45.400 --> 00:17:47.359 and you're done instead. 328 00:17:47.480 --> 00:17:51.880 Now, yeah, it's everybody has to deflect, and this is 329 00:17:51.920 --> 00:17:54.160 both sides doing this drives me completely nice. 330 00:17:54.160 --> 00:17:57.759 Official Biden said that what official documents? 331 00:17:58.119 --> 00:17:59.400 Yeah, welling back. 332 00:17:59.400 --> 00:18:05.599 I just this is why I'm so so so oh 333 00:18:05.680 --> 00:18:07.839 it's gonna get worse though, and then afterwards, well, matter 334 00:18:07.880 --> 00:18:11.039 of fact, here's one Neil, take this one. 335 00:18:11.920 --> 00:18:12.279 Okay. 336 00:18:12.319 --> 00:18:16.039 So the Georgia's Secretary of State just yesterday said that 337 00:18:16.079 --> 00:18:21.240 the state has been targeted by election disinformation, pointing to 338 00:18:21.319 --> 00:18:24.519 a viral video of alleged voter fraud that he suggests 339 00:18:24.559 --> 00:18:26.559 could be the result of foreign meddling. 340 00:18:26.960 --> 00:18:28.240 You know, we've seen that before. 341 00:18:29.000 --> 00:18:32.839 The original video, which emerged on social media's platform x, 342 00:18:33.799 --> 00:18:35.359 had over half a million views. 343 00:18:35.359 --> 00:18:36.200 It's much more than that. 344 00:18:36.279 --> 00:18:40.039 Now but purportedly showed this Haitian immigrant claiming he voted 345 00:18:40.079 --> 00:18:45.440 several times for Vice President Kamala Harris in the presidential election. 346 00:18:46.839 --> 00:18:51.160 I saw the video. I don't know that it would 347 00:18:51.200 --> 00:18:52.799 sway me one way or the other. 348 00:18:52.960 --> 00:18:54.440 But it sways a lot of people. 349 00:18:54.519 --> 00:18:59.000 Raffensberger, Republican head of elections in Georgia, said, this is fake. 350 00:18:59.720 --> 00:19:02.599 This is why I'm so depressed. I'm so depressed. 351 00:19:02.680 --> 00:19:07.079 Yesterday, former President Trump was in Arizona, No New Mexico, 352 00:19:07.920 --> 00:19:11.880 and he's doing a rally and he said, I won 353 00:19:11.960 --> 00:19:16.480 New Mexico because the election was rigged. He lost by 354 00:19:16.480 --> 00:19:20.279 one hundred thousand votes in the last election, but it 355 00:19:20.400 --> 00:19:21.119 was rigged. 356 00:19:21.720 --> 00:19:23.000 That's why he. 357 00:19:22.880 --> 00:19:26.119 Lost, because he won it by a landslide. The lawsuits 358 00:19:26.119 --> 00:19:29.480 have already hit, and I am so depressed over this. 359 00:19:29.599 --> 00:19:32.920 I'm getting more and more depressed because, you know, I 360 00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:36.880 just thought that the phrase attack on democracy was merely 361 00:19:36.920 --> 00:19:40.440 a phrase that the Democrats were using to attack Trump, 362 00:19:40.880 --> 00:19:46.359 you know, just a political attack. Unfortunately, I believe now 363 00:19:46.519 --> 00:19:50.599 that there is a large group of Americans that do 364 00:19:50.799 --> 00:19:52.960 not believe that there can be a. 365 00:19:52.920 --> 00:19:55.920 Free election in the United States anymore. If a Democrat wins. 366 00:19:56.640 --> 00:19:59.519 I wonder it's that simple, and that's a fact. There 367 00:19:59.720 --> 00:20:03.680 can not be a free election if a Democrat wins. 368 00:20:03.759 --> 00:20:08.880 Done finish, there's the statement, you know, does that depress you? 369 00:20:09.000 --> 00:20:10.640 I mean, I'm just stunned by this. 370 00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:13.799 I still think we the people have the power, and 371 00:20:14.079 --> 00:20:17.680 we keep giving it over to people. There are idiots 372 00:20:17.720 --> 00:20:19.759 that are going to try and grab a ball from 373 00:20:19.799 --> 00:20:24.480 the glove of a player, and there's people that are 374 00:20:24.480 --> 00:20:27.200 going to do stupid things. But what freaks me out 375 00:20:27.240 --> 00:20:29.759 more is that someone like me in the center, who 376 00:20:29.839 --> 00:20:32.960 is reasonable, gets shut down every time you say one 377 00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:35.759 thing about this person or one thing when you take 378 00:20:35.839 --> 00:20:38.480 in case by case, if people don't want to listen. 379 00:20:38.680 --> 00:20:41.039 It's way beyond that, Neil, way beyond that. 380 00:20:41.200 --> 00:20:45.319 It is now the guardrails of democracy actually held the 381 00:20:45.400 --> 00:20:48.039 last time around, even though there was a massive move 382 00:20:48.599 --> 00:20:52.599 to argue the election was fixed, and the judges held 383 00:20:52.599 --> 00:20:57.119 it up and it was you know, we barely got by. 384 00:20:57.160 --> 00:21:02.759 This time around, state legislators have changed the election officials, 385 00:21:03.119 --> 00:21:06.839 where election officials now will have the power to simply 386 00:21:06.880 --> 00:21:08.920 not certify. It'll have to go all go to court. 387 00:21:09.559 --> 00:21:12.880 Keep in mind, so one hundred and thirty lawsuits have already 388 00:21:12.880 --> 00:21:14.920 been fouled. Some of them legitimate, by the way, and 389 00:21:14.960 --> 00:21:16.759 I'm going to point that out. I don't want to 390 00:21:16.759 --> 00:21:20.319 do a broad brush. Some are very legitimate lawsuits. One 391 00:21:20.319 --> 00:21:25.000 of them, for example, is there's a lawsuit if a 392 00:21:26.160 --> 00:21:30.480 ballot is incorrect in terms of the requirements to check 393 00:21:30.519 --> 00:21:31.240 off certain. 394 00:21:30.960 --> 00:21:33.319 Boxes, the law says it's no good. 395 00:21:33.640 --> 00:21:38.119 Well, there are a group that are saying that that 396 00:21:38.319 --> 00:21:42.880 is minor that law, that ballot should still be counted. 397 00:21:42.920 --> 00:21:45.519 Then the lawsuit on the other side says the law 398 00:21:45.599 --> 00:21:48.200 is real clear. It says it is an invalid suit. 399 00:21:48.599 --> 00:21:51.400 So that stuff is legitimate as far as I'm concerned 400 00:21:51.440 --> 00:21:54.359 to argue it one way or the other. But the 401 00:21:54.559 --> 00:22:01.240
