I mean, literally everyone, even people that think that the election was 100 percent legitimate. the percentage of voter fraud is never zero, correct? And they're always like, yes. No one can say it's zero. It's not zero. There's a bunch of slippery people that get arrested on both sides of the aisle. Republicans and Democrats get arrested for election fraud. It's a real crime.

The idea that they commit all these other acts of fraud and deception, but when it comes to elections, Brett, that's a sacred institution that we don't violate at any cost.

It was mostly for soldiers serving overseas.

Well, not only that, they've established this narrative that it's imperative that the Democrats win to save democracy. Right. So the Verdi made all of these statements that it's more important for them to win than anything. More important than anything. More important than having primaries. More important than letting the people decide who the representative is.

More important than having live actual conversations, interviews that aren't edited on CNN. Instead, they have a 40-plus minute one that's edited down to 18 minutes. Like, what? Yeah.

Yeah.

Right.

It doesn't make any sense, and it's one of those things, again, that you're forced into agreeing with just out of fear because people get very aggressive with it, just like people were super aggressive about the vaccine. I hate seeing people – die because they made a poor choice.

But there's something insane about how many people were like pro-vaccine advocates that were shaming people and angry at people. And now they're dead. And they're not dead because they ran their time and they got old and they died. And it's unfortunate, but it happens to all of us. No, they're dead young. Like a lot, a lot of people, not one, not 20.

We don't even know what the real numbers are because it's not something the mainstream media covers because they've all been vaccinated, too. And they're probably freaking the fuck out, too.

Yeah, did an episode of news radio with him. Super nice guy.

Well, they don't even want to consider the vaccine, which is so crazy. If you called it anything else, if it wasn't called the vaccine, if it wasn't for covid. OK, let's because covid became so it became so politicized. And it was like culturally so polarizing. Let's pretend it was for something else.

And there was some medication and the people that were taking that medication were dropping like flies. They would 100% make a correlation and they would make it publicly and it would be in the news. Of course, it might not actually be in the news today because this is part of the problem with what we're dealing with, with advertising and the media.

is that there's so much revenue that comes from pharmaceutical drug companies that there's just a reality about them reluctant to print or put any stories on television that are negative.

Do you think in the future we'll look back on this and there'll be some sort of a shift in the way we discuss it? You know, there's a lot of things in history that during the time where they were happening, I'm sure people were all like the McCarthy era. Yeah. I'm sure people thought it was very important to root out these communists. But they didn't exactly understand.

Like, hey, you're calling a lot of people communists. They aren't even communists. You're going after people that just went to meetings to find out what's going on. The world didn't exactly understand what that even meant back then. We look back at it now. The Red Scare is like a negative thing. It's a dangerous sort of negative aspect of our history.

Oh, yeah. There definitely was a lot of that.

Yeah, that's a great way to put it. And I'm glad you did point out the fact that there were really things. The Red Scare is a weird example because people would like to kind of dismiss the impact that communists, especially Russia, was having on our government. And there was a pretty big impact. I mean, they did steal the plans for the nuclear bomb.

There's a lot of shit that happened because of actual communist interference. Yeah. But the narrative when I was in high school was that the Red Scare was bad, right? It was like everybody went crazy and they were all looking for – which was true too. But that's part of the problem when you don't know. Like back then, no internet, very little paper trail.

It's really hard to find out who's talking to who unless you get an actual listening device in the room and capture them talking.
