Six years ago on Medium, I wrote the following:The Republicans have systematically turned climate change into a partisan issue, you know, like abortion, and have done so to manipulate their gullible electorate into believing the lie that there is no such thing as man-made climate change. They spew the dumbo rhetoric any time they can, that “oh the weather changes all the time.” Or “I don't believe climate change is real — even if the planet is warming, it isn't our fault.”Yeah, it is. You dig up fossil fuels and you burn them, that warms the planet. They were buried for millions of years which, in turn, cooled the planet, making it an ideal atmosphere for all kinds of different forms of life, including us. What's coming next is uncharted territory for humanity. We have no idea how bad it's going to get. We just know it WILL be bad.I was not only furious with rage, but I was quick to blame the other side for deliberately sabotaging our noble efforts to stop the warming of the planet, as though we ourselves were not contributing to it. We acted like we could buy a hybrid here, go vegan there, recycle our plastic, and be absolved from contributing to this existential crisis we all now must face.It isn't that I don't believe the planet is warming, or that sea level won't rise, or that it is directly the fault of so many people on the planet. What has changed is that I no longer blame the other side, and I no longer see my former side as the good guys in the fight. No, I see them as hypocrites. I was a hypocrite too.I'd been in a bubble for much of my adult life because I lived online, in virtual spaces. Yes, I was raising my daughter in public schools, but those were a bubble too. We all belonged inside the same utopia. We read the same articles. We watched the same news. Our worries were the same worries. We spoke the same language, and all of us shared the belief that the biggest threat we faced was climate change and that the biggest obstacle we faced was the Republicans.And then, my daughter moved across the country, and I got a couple of dogs. Rather than fly and leave my dogs at home, I began driving across the country. Those drives changed everything for me, not just how I saw climate change but how I saw my fellow Americans. This was how people actually lived, not how we did, inside our haze of paper straws and cotton diapers.I saw the trucks driving on the interstates to deliver food and goods, the many hotels that require air conditioning and heating, the slaughterhouse trucks providing food for so many in this country, and the tiny houses in the middle of the desert with one embattled air conditioner sticking out of the window.Looking at all of this, all of these places, and all of these businesses, it was easy to see that there was no turning this thing around. There is no way to convince every state and citizen to hop aboard what is an existential crisis for the upper class. Life just isn't like that.Everyone wants things that work, cars that run, planes that fly. They want washing machines, dishwashers, flat-screen TVs, office buildings, emergency rooms, and new computers and tech support lines, to buy groceries they can afford, to get fruit in the middle of winter, to watch movies and doom scroll social media — and “every Tweet warms the planet,” as Roy Scranton once wrote.Even if we could convince every single American to accept our fixes, what would we do about Russia, India, or China? We seemed to have gone all in on fantasy but we're disconnected from reality.What we believe on the Left, or at least we used to, was climate change was Armageddon, doomsday, the end of everything. Therefore, what mattered to us isn't so much that we solve the problems to survive climate change, but that we convert everyone else to our way of thinking. If we could do that, we believed, we could start making the big changes to our country and world.The Left is still haunted by the ghosts of the past, back when we really did have the power and the opportunity to make real change. We squandered that power, and then we blamed the other side. In so doing, we could wash our hands of real solutions, whether it was gun violence, poverty, failing schools, floods, fires, or hurricanes.And now, in the perfect cocktail of high Santa Ana winds, no rain for months, and a city caught off guard, the fires rampaged through the beaches of the Pacific Palisades and Malibu and the mountains of Alta Dena and continue to burn.There were rumors of not enough water, not enough firefighters, and no way to control the speed of the flames as they ripped through the dry brush, burning one house after another as we watched the tragedy unfold on live television or YouTube.This time, the narrative swirled around California's governor, Gavin Newsom, and the Los Angeles Mayor, Karen Bass, newly elected in 2022 as the first female and second Black person to serve. Bass had left the country in January, known as the last month of the Santa Ana cycle that comes every Fall.From the University of California:The region sees about 10 Santa Ana wind events a year on average, typically occurring from fall into January. When conditions are dry, as they are right now, these winds can become a severe fire hazard.//end This is a public episode.

Always popular when it was on the radio, television, and even in the movies... because it was believed to be the most realistic police drama in media. That was very much Jack Webb's creation... the staccato delivery of lines... "Just the facts, Mam... Just the facts"... then there was the theme music "Dragnet" and later "Badge 714" written by Walter Schumann. Jack Webb died of a heart attack in 1982 at the age of 62. (He was a very heavy smoker)... As a tribute to him, Los Angeles Mayor, Tom Bradley, ordered all flags flown at half staff in Webb's honor. Webb was buried with a replica LAPD badge bearing the rank of sergeant and the number 714. More tracks in the "Police, Detective, Crime" Playlist

Los Angeles Mayor, Karen Bass has been in her role for six months. The mayor agreed to sit down with David on the six month anniversary of her position as LA's mayor. 

On May 19, Governor Newsom offered a series of proposals to revise the California Environmental Quality Act ( CEQA). The 1970 law was intended to limit unintended consequences of development, but has increasingly been used to slow or derail environmentally-positive projects ranging from infill development to solar installations. Reforming CEQA has long been a priority in Sacramento, and Newsom's proposals were hailed by many in both the business and environmental communities.Legislative leaders were less impressed - especially with the lighting fast timeline -  and a Senate budget committee sidelined the proposals a week later. However, we all know that nothing ever dies in Sacramento, so the Governor's plan is more likely than not to be revisited - the question is when.Many of the ideas in these reform proposals were contained in a California Forward report that detailed a set of actions that would accelerate infrastructure projects, and "promote equity, environmental sustainability and economic growth in the state." The report was the culmination of a partnership between Governor Newsom's office, former Los Angeles Mayor and and State Infrastructure Advisor Antonio Villaraigosa, CA FWD and the Boston Consulting Group, a strategic advisor on delivering new infrastructure ecosystems.On this episode of the Capitol Weekly Podcast we are joined by Mayor Villaraigosa and CA FWD CEO Micah Weinberg, who detail the results of the report and discuss why CEQA reform is - in their view - sorely needed.And, as always we tell you who had the worst week in California Politics.Notes:2:21 The report, and the governor's take on it7:11 Met with over 1000 shareholders7:55 What about CEQA's defenders11:01 The Green Bank financing system12:51 Workforce?16:50 Where are the disparate labor groups on this?17:44 "A once in a generation opportunity"20:35 What next?24:26 "No state would be so stupid as to have environmental exceptions for sports stadiums but not for climate adaptive infrastructure"31:05 WWCAWant to support the Capitol Weekly Podcast?

Los Angeles is home to the country's largest homeless population and new Mayor Karen Bass promised solutions upon entering office in December.

The US has spent billions and billions so far in Ukraine, but future government spending is all up in the air right now – not just over Ukraine, but also at home, as America has now reached its debt limit and risks a potentially catastrophic default. Social security payments, veteran's pensions, and more are all at risk. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen says “extraordinary measures” are now in use to delay default, and she's calling on lawmakers to “act promptly” to protect the full faith and credit of the United States. Yellen met this week with China's vice premier in Zurich, before traveling to Africa, where she is hoping to expand US trade there. Christiane speaks with Yellen about all of this in an exclusive interview.  Also on today's show: Dr. Henry Marsh, Author, And Finally; Karen Bass, Los Angeles Mayor; Jacinda Ardern, New Zealand Prime Minister (archived interview). To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

Red Pill Revolution started out with me, realizing everything that I knew, everything that I believed, everything I interpret about my life is through the lens of the information I was spoonfed as a. Religion, politics, history, conspiracies, Hollywood medicine, money, food, all of it. Everything we know was tactfully written to influence your decisions and your view on reality by those in power Now, I'm on a mission, a mission to retrain and reeducate myself to find the true reality of what is behind that curtain, and I'm taking your ass with me. Welcome to the Revolution, All. All right, let's jump into it. The very first thing that we're gonna discuss today is going to be the legal drugs that are on the ballot. This is coming from Vice News and it says, Here's where legal drugs. Are actually on the ballot, and we'll go ahead and check in on those and see how they're actually doing. But this article goes on to say that five US states could legalize recreational marijuana and another state could legalize psychedelics after Tuesday's midterms, which would make cannabis legal in about half of the country. It all use cannabis is on the ballot in Missouri, Maryland, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Arkansas. All five states currently have medical cannabis, and if they go recreational, but join another 19 states in Washington d c. That's pretty wild that Washington DC is a legal recreational state, but you can still get, you know, literally where the lawmakers are. Just puffing it up like Snoop Dog, which we'll talk about in a minute, , but at the same time, passing federal laws about Schedule one marijuana. Pretty. That's pretty crazy. So 19 states will go, uh, total, um, are current. Medically or, or recreationally legal. But these other states, which is now five, more of them currently have it on the ballot. So we'll see how that shakes out. Uh, we'll look and check and see where those are at. Goes on to say that the votes mostly in states that skew Republican come after a month of President Joe Biden announcing he was pardoning everyone, federally and by everybody. They made nobody. Says that it was convicted of a simple cannabis possession, which he didn't know. There's literally nobody in jail, uh, for simple possess. But it goes on to say that here I said the measure impacted about 6,500 people, which the White House stated though no one is currently in federal jail for simple weed possession, Missouri's amend three could legalize possession of up to three ounces. That's a lot of weed. Uh, but violations of the new rules would still face civil penalties, including $100 for smoking up in. I like how it says smoking up Maryland's question. Uh, four would legalize an ounce and a half for adults, 21 and older, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Arkansas. I'll have it on the ballot. And then Colorado, which legalize it over a decade ago, may become the second state to legalize psychedelics. If residents vote to create the neutral or natural medicine health act, that would be awesome. The measure would allow for magic mushroom treatments at psilocybin healing centers, and would legalize growing, possessing and using shrooms. It would also decriminalize mes. Iga, uh, which is an African shrub and is used as an experimental addiction treatment. And DMT Durham, if Denver legalizes dmt, that would be crazy. Wow. I wonder where they're, that, where they're at on that, you know, how, how do we look at that? Um, let's go ahead and, and pull this up here. The, the website that I'm using for majority of this to check in on some of. Situations as, uh, real clear politics. I don't think that they're gonna have that ballot on here, but we can check it in a different way. So let's go ahead and look it up here. Uh, Denver. Let's see if we can find the name of it, cuz then we'll be able to actually pull it up and discuss it. But that's pretty crazy if they legalize DM. I began psilocybin, That would be the first of that as far as I'm understanding the natural, what is it called? The Natural Medicine Health Act. Let's see. Natural Medicine. So currently as it stands, there is a 65% yes vote for Denver's. Psychedelic laws including dmt, psilocybin, igan. That is crazy. That would be so wild if you could go to Denver and just legally do DMT  and, and grow a, I mean, that would. There, there's a real case study for how many people are go going to, you know, real interest, I should say, to see how many people would actually move there for that, because I think you would find a whole industry there and I would be really actually excited to see it. I don't partake in those types of things. That specifically myself. It's a little, uh, you know, I think there's some steps that you take before you start doing DMT  and one of them being psilocybin, but haven't done that either. And, uh, I, I think that you would find a whole cultural movement going on surrounding that. I think what you would find is a lot of people would begin to be interested in it when it's not so demonized. And that could spread the same way that Denver spread the recreational marijuana culture and was like, Hey guys, this isn't. Bad. Maybe we should stop throwing people in jail forever for, you know, doing, you know, eating something that grows off the ground. I think there's a case for that. That's one I'll be watching closely. Cause I think that's crazy. That's Proposition 1 22. Currently standing at 70,000 votes for 38,000 against. Very interesting. All right, so let's go ahead and move on. The next thing we're gonna. And actually let's, let's listen in here to this Russell brand video that I have loaded up and waiting and just see. His Russell brand always has a unique approach on things. It's always kind of a good, not conspiratorial, not Republican, not Democratic or Democrat, not libertarian. He has a very interesting mix of, of perspectives. All of these issues. So I always appreciate listening to him. I've said it in the past, you know, I, I think that I align to be a little bit more, uh, you know, Shorthaired Russell brand than, uh, younger Tucker Carlson So that's kind of, that's my hope for this podcast anyways, is, is not to be a traditional, you know, conservative talking head, although you will find that in many issues today. That is where I align because just the left is so crazy on. All of their issues that are, uh, hot button topics that it's hard not to disagree with them on almost all of it. Even, even when you get into some things like financially, when we get into. Conversations surrounding the actual use useful of the government. I tend to differ quite considerably from the conservative party, which I think the less government, the better in almost all cases. That's, that's my opinion. Almost all cases. Maybe not the military, maybe not the laws, but almost everything else, the government sucks at it. Trust me, when I was in the military, , when I was in the military, I remember back they had a bowling. On base and they literally had a monopoly in the area. You can, There was only one of these things, there was only one bowling alley  it shut down because it was ran so poorly they couldn't even do that. Right. And have a literal monopoly on the area and they sold drinks and beer and all of that good stuff and still couldn't to a bunch of military members keep it alive. It's cra it's, it's so crazy. All. Let's go ahead and Marsh's clip Russell Brand on the election. If you are saying that this election is to save democracy, then democracy is already over cuz you've only got one option. It's a self defeating argument. It's like saying that there is only one Democratic option and that is. Plainly a, a form of ideological tyranny. I mean, nine 11 was a tragedy. We lost thousands of lives in a horrific way, and we still mourn to this day. But when you look at something that is an attack on democracy, something that could actually bring about a fundamental change to American governance as we understand it. Nine 11 is nothing compared to January 6th. It's always like, we'll go back to nine 11. Cause that's the worst example that they can kind of think of. Doesn't seem very helpful to escalate conflict in the manner that they do, except unless, of course you look at it from the perspective that regardless of whether you vote for Republicans or Democrats, the ultimately powerful institutions will remain un. So there you go. And I, I think that's an interesting perspective is that if, if this is the only option that we have to save our democracy, that means that our democracy is fundamentally already flawed. Right. If, if we don't have any other way of, of improving upon the state of our nation, other than the singular election, which I think a lot of people are hoping, you know, you've heard this term a lot, the red wave, that this is just gonna really, and, and hopefully in some way, it's a reality check, right? I, I, I've talked about this before, is like when you get negative social feedback, you te like if you're just an, an asshole of people and everybody keeps their mouth shut, then you'll. Being a jerk to people constantly. But if you get negative social feedback, right, and there's like, um, a lot of people are very passive. I tend to not be very passive . Uh, but when, when somebody does something that's rude, if somebody shuts the, you know, doesn't hold the door for me in front of me and it shuts right on my face, you know, or, or I hold a door for somebody and they don't say thank you and just walk right past me like they deserved for. Open the door for them. Then, you know, I'm like, Oh, you're welcome. You know, I'm the guy that who says, You're welcome when you don't say thank you, , because that's negative social feedback, right? If somebody does something polite for you, you should return the favor and say thank you. I always say thank you. When somebody holds the door for me, I always, you know, say, you're welcome. When they say thank you, it's just a social contract, right? So if you walk right past me, don't even look at me like your Queen Elizabeth. Rest in peace. Not yet. Maybe, I don't know. I don't know. But , if you're her and you walk past me, you know, and you don't say thank you. Maybe she's expecting that from how she grew up. But if you're not her, maybe you should say thank you. So negative social feedback I think is important. And I think this is, this election is a form of that it, and that's what, at least what people are hoping is that there's negative social feedback to counter the ideological radicalism that we've seen recently. And I think that's an important thing for people on the left to see is like when, or, or, or at least politicians and people who are hoping to win these elections is when you can. To the radical side of the general population. You don't need to win the radical side. And they, they've, One thing that I think we've seen along this election is there's been a really big topic of Roe v. Wade and abortion coming up, and I think that was a way to incite the left to show up to vote on a singular issue rather than on the political party or individual who's in front. So when, when you see, you know, Proposition three is something I've been talking about a lot in Michigan is that when, when that is something that is the only issue that somebody cares about. They framed it in a way, in the way that it was framed with Proposition three. It's like, Oh, reinstate Roe is like, No, you're not. You literally are not reinstating. Roe Roe is a, a decision to return the power to the states. It was never a mass like celebration of abortion up to the day of birth. That's not what it was. It was saying that federally you no longer get the. And you can't implement that at a state level. That's literally what Ro Roe v Wade was. And so all of the signs that were on proposition three always said reinstate roe. Right? And, and that's not what you're doing, but what they're trying to do is to incite the general public into believing that that's what's happening through that proposition. And by doing so, getting them to show up to vote on that singular issue, and as a result, getting them to show up for everything else cuz they know they're gonna go. Ticket Democrat, regardless of the individuals or, or decisions that are made. One thing I really hope, but I'm not unbelievably hopeful on, you know, I hope for, but am not too, too confident in, is the Whitmer Dixon ticket right now. Currently Whitmer sits at 52% Dixon sitting at 46%. Hmm. And getting in third place by. Our very small margin is the libertarian. I think that's sad. You know? I think it's sad that Libertarians just have no choice. No, no, no opportunity. I think that's another thing that Russell Brand is saying there is like when you only have a two party system, and in that two party system you only have one candidate, and that candidate's basically set in front of you and you're choosing between one one A or one b. Not one or two even. You're choosing between what, what is presented to you by the very people that are behind the curtains, Right? When you, when you're looking at the circus show of Federman and Oz that is going on right now, it's like, this is the best that you guys have. This is it. This is, this is the, the best people that you could present is somebody who's. Seemingly actually mentally handicapped and a fake doctor who's been on the TV shows for a while. Like, that's, that's who you presented to us. I, I just, it's so wild to me that we are stuck with 1:00 AM one B. Right. And that's, again, Russell Brand's point there that I think's important to point out. Is it shouldn't be one A, one B. It should. It should be an actual and, and at the very least, let those options be viable. Don't let them be idiot one, idiot two, which it's been in a lot of cases there. There is incredible people out there right now, incredible, intelligent, charismatic people who deserve to be voted for. I would say very few of them are currently on tickets right now. I really haven't heard of too many people that I'm like just awestruck by their ability to speak to audiences or their leadership capabilities or, you know, I just, I don't see it. Maybe I'm wrong, but I just, I don't see it. So there's 37% reporting right now in Michigan. Again, by the morning we'll have this answer, but. Currently as it stands, it looks like Whitmer is currently leading, but she was leading by a fairly large margin at the very beginning when they're counting those mail-in ballots and now it's starting to close up. I do not like Whitmer. It is starting with her fake little, uh, you know, when she. It got kidnapped by their random rednecks where, you know, 10 of 'em or something like that. And nine of them ended up being FBI to the point where they were, the whole case got thrown out because the nine or eight FBI agents coerced the other one or two random guys because they were all wearing flannel just to get in the van and go somewhere with them. . I dunno, It was something like crazy like that. And so, I don't know. I, I just think. Through all of the pandemic. She was a nightmare to. As a governor, so I, I, I really do, am looking forward to potentially her not being the person in office. Now, moving forward, the next thing we're gonna talk about is Chris Pratt, Kim Kardashian, Katie Perry, Snoop Dog, Gwyneth Ptro, all flaunting the fact that they're voting Republican on social media. And this brings up a very. Interesting point of what is going on. The red wave, and that's where it really starts, is socially, once it becomes cool and it started to become cool, like the old school Republican was like a random 59 year old white business man. That's always been the perspective, right? That's always the idea. But I think when Trump got into office, it started to become cool again, to be Republican, right? The ideas of going against the machine, the, the ideas that were formally liberal of going against the machine, of going against the man of, of going against the, uh, the elites of the world. At some point, it's shifted, right? The liberal party, the, the Democratic. Are no longer the ones fighting the man. They're the ones like literally getting Pfizer tattooed on their neck because they just can't wait for their next booster shot. They're, they're the ones who are screaming from the, their top of their lungs for daddy government to shut down their businesses and, and mask their faces as they walk into federal buildings and mandate that you and I. Vaccines. That's, that's who they've become. They're no longer the cool hippie Woodstock democrats or liberals who, who wanna push back against the man, who wanna push back against the, uh, war machines, who wanna push back against the medical industrial complex that is not the Democratic party anymore. The Democratic Party is a bunch of sad, like people who who want. Abdicate the responsibilities of their lives to somebody that they feel not even has their best interest, but has a direction they're going because they don't wanna pick one themselves besides one that they're spoonfed. Right. And the, the Republican party has Republicans in general, the right. Has dealt with so much backlash, so much, so much censorship, so much talking down to so much, literally losing your job for holding beliefs that are specific to a political party for the last however many years. Right. And I think again, that's the hope. That's the hope of this election is that, that that's shown here and, and hopefully through the social movements of Chris Pratt, Kim Kardashian, Katie Perry, back in Caruso  for mayor. It, it drives the point home It, it makes that social feedback of like you guys have gotten so fucking crazy that normally people who would always. Left, or at least not even speak out about it. Like Chris Pratt has kind of kept his beliefs to himself, but everybody kind of knows that Chris Pratt's the only allowable Republican in Hollywood that people really love. For some reason, Chris Pratt's just like really pulled it off. , Uh, but let's go ahead and read this. It says, Los Angeles Mayor. Hopeful Rick Caruso may be a political newcomer, but he's enjoyed considerable support from some of Hollywood's a-list celebrities. Now Guardians of the Galaxy's leading man, Chris Pratt has thrown his weight behind the controversial candidate. Caruso is a, I like how they called controversial. Caruso is a Democrat running against the US rep, representative Karen Bass. California.  He thought he once registered as a Republican. The billionaire developer is a public figure in Los Angeles who edged out another competitor in the cramped June 7th primary Former Democrat or is a Democrat once registered as a Republican. So, so this is like the half ass way that they can do it.  so I was wrong. Not a Republican, but was once maybe a little bit Republican and that's why it's so controversial. Uh, Chris Pratt announce his endorsement in the post on Instagram. I've lived in LA for 20 years. It's been great to me. The movie Star wrote on Sunday and that time I've seen many residents. I've seen what many residents here have seen. Oh my gosh, it is 1130. Um, the city's gradual decline in the pain and utter disarray. If you live here, you know exactly what I'm talking about. I don't normally support political candidates, but in this election there's too much to lose pr. Add to that, if you're an LA voter, I urge you to vote for Rick Carus. Uh, Caruso la I, I assume it's not Caruso . He's a builder. He knows how to get shit done. He's the guy for our city, Rick Caruso, for La Mayor Pratt has largely stayed mom on this past political meeting. Some on social media, slammed him in 2020 for allegedly being the supporter of them. President Donald Trump, Although a Newsweek fact check from October, which must be right of that year, had ruled that the claim to be unknown. Meanwhile, other legendary celebs back in Cruso include rap, uh, rap dog, rap icon, Snoop Dog, Reality star, Kim Kardashian. You mean Porn Star and Oscar winner? Gweneth Paltro. Snoop O is em empathetic about his preference for LA Mayor saying during one news clip earlier this year, I endorsed the real and that is real. Gweneth Paltro has a video and there you go. Pratt has largely kept his political preferences under lap, under wraps, but some of the Marvel co-stars are more outspoken. Yeah. We know Mark Ruffo is the biggest dweeb ever. Uh, and that's what we got there. So again, I think that brings up an interesting conversation. I think that that's where we're going to start to see it. If it starts to become pushed within and, and that's where they really lose, They've already lost 51 60% of the public's vote in these last few years. But if Hollywood celebrities like Chris Pratt, start to make Hollywood able to speak out in these things, because apparently there's a lot of like under wrap celebrities who are actually more right leaning than they would lead you to believe. But if that becomes cool, I would be really surprised if, you know, the Democratic party doesn't have a real problem on their hands. All right, let's move on. Let's kind of, uh, get, maybe get an update here, but, all right, let's touch on this Maricopa County. Is being sued by C Lake after hiccups, hiccups at Arizona voting locations. So there's been some interesting conspiracies if you're into that sort of sort of thing about election fraudulent activities, which may or may not happen. I'm not saying they do, and of course they don't. If this is on YouTube, there's no way. That anything could happen that would cause the election to sway. And they're always perfectly accurate and there is never, never any shenanigans. But this is something that people are talking about, so we might as well talk about it here and if it was real, which it's not. It does bring up a really interesting conversation. So this goes on and say the campaigns for Republican gubernatorial can. Gubernatorial. Wow, that's such a fun term. Uh, Kerry Lake, US Senate candidate Blake Masters and the Republican National Committee are suing Maricopa County Arizona after issues with voting tabulation machines. And we're gonna watch some of the actual videos of this going on in just a minute, and it goes on to say the G O P lawsuit seeks to keep polls open until 10:00 PM. Which immediately got shut down. I'd also asked the state court to instruct the in inspector at every polling station that voters whom the EPO have recorded as having previously voted in the election must be permitted to complete and cast a provisional ballot. Fox News previously reported Tuesday that many polling sites in the county were experiencing problems. Unfortunately, we have had some hiccups with about 20% of these Tabulators, Chairman of me Hope aboard of supervisors. Bill Gates told Fox. Chairman to the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, Bill Gates. Okay, so not Bill Gates. Bill Gates, Different Bill Gates. Just a terrible name to have during these times. you're like, Bill Gates said, What about voting tabulation machines? No, he said nothing. This guy's some random guy who hasn't the unfortunate happenings of having Bill Gates name. Uh, as Gates said, the issue happened when people tried to run their ballots through the Tabulators, but had the ballots spit back out. All right, so here's some of the videos that you'll see coming out of Arizona in Maricopa County is some very, very frustrated voters, and here we. Two tabulators, one of the tabulators is not working. Okay? The other tabulator is taking about 75% successful to that. So 25% of them are being misread and it could be a printer issue, um, or it could be the TABULATOR itself. So when it's misread, you have an option to put it into what's called box. And it gets read. Whether it goes downtown and gets read in annually or whether it gets re fed in, into our tab, you don't worry. So that is a poll worker explaining how their stuff is not working. , it's like, how, how? How long do we have to do this? Like we would be much better off in some second or third world country in this, in this matter, Like we've taken technology. We have, if you look at these polling machines, when I sat and made my vote today, you look at these polling machines and it's like embarrassing how old these things look for how, I don't know. We have vehicles driving themselves, but we can't get a machine. Properly tally like we had scantrons 20 years ago,  or whatever, when I was in first grade, uh, that were reading our answers. Nobody was going through and tallying them like, we've had this technology for decades and we're still having issues with this. It's, it makes zero sense, zero sense at all that we're still having issues with these voting tabulation. And again with the blockchain, I assume I'm not a blockchain specialist over here, but I assume there is absolutely some way we could utilize cryptocurrency type blockchain to verify the votes that are happening on EF damn phone. Everybody pulls out their phone. Everybody vote. The day of the election by showing they are who they are, uploading a document, verifying identity, and somehow through the madness that is the blockchain. It's probably a very vague term to the people who actually know what they're talking about here. Uh, but there's some way that we can have it be verifiable, much more verifiable than what we're doing here with these random companies. And I say random, but they're probably owned by the very people who are giving us one A and one B options in this case. And if you know who I'm talking about, you know who I'm talking about, The George Soros, the Rockefellers, the World Economic Forums of the World, all are the ones who somehow manage to fund almost every candidate on almost every side, and also somehow own some of the largest stakes in the voting tabulation machines and their companies and their shell. And they're Shell's, Shell's, companies, , possibly. So yeah, let's go ahead and watch the next video because that's, uh, that's what we got here. Let's go ahead and, and check it out because there's some interesting perspectives that are going on from the, from these poll workers who are just blabbing their way through these issues. Yeah, I'm at the North Scottsdale United Methodist Church on, uh, Tuesday, November the eighth election day, and it's 10 33. Uh, I've tried to vote and neither machine in there. Neither ballot machine will accept ballots. There's numerous people in line and every time it's either rejected or misread and they said there's a Dropbox we can put it in. They said it will be counted. And the problem with this is that they're primarily always in conservative areas. Almost always. Isn't that interesting, right? That in just the areas that are conservative, the ballot machines seem to, I don't know, not want to read ballots. That seems like a problem. , who am I? Currently, as it stands, it is now 1135 Eastern Time. The Senate is being held by 46 Republicans, 45 Democrats. Uh, the house is at 177 Republicans to 134. Democrats, Governors 24 to 14 and. As it stands now, uh, Dixon is making some ground, 51% to Whitmer, 47% to Dixon, and let's see, with some other ones, 56% to Hobbs and 43% to Lake in Arizona. Interesting, interesting, interesting. And obviously Hobbs is the Democrat, Carry Lake is the Republican, and that's the exact place where this Maricopa County issues were. You know, one of the, and that's at 50% of the total votes being recorded at this point. Uh, Michigan's votes are at 40%, but. Seemingly making some ground. All right, let's go ahead and watch the next video here of them explaining again from a different perspective what they think is going on. Put it in there. Yeah. And tonight a Republican and a Democrat will sit and go through all of the misread ballots all over the county. Okay. And count them and it will get counted. Okay. And both machines were not working yet? No. Nothing's working in the last half hour. Nothing. Thank you. Nothing's working. That that is the whole point. These things are here. Is for them to work. What do you mean? Nothing is working. That's gotta be the most frustrating thing to hear ever. Oh. Oh. Nothing is working. Not, not just we're having some issues, just no, literally nothing is working . That is so crazy. And then on the backs of that, there's this Project Veritas video that just came out, which was explaining that, you know, she said, Oh, there, there's these Democrats and these a Democrat and they Republican. With zero margin for error in those political leanings are going to sit down and read these ballots and with perfect precision, give their feedback and. Mark everything correctly because no human ever has purposefully made mistakes. So here's this video. I just dropped it, airdropped it to my computer here, uh, and we'll watch it. This, here's the Project Veritas video of somebody to work and change the system. Jump jumped the gun a little bit, but now I'll be able to turn it down for you guys. Uh, this is a. Uh, Donald Skynyrd, a Republican affidavit inspector, talking about how he's not actually Republican and how he scammed the system to be considered Republican. Meanwhile, this woman is sitting there going, Oh, it's just a one Democrat and one Republican for sure. Nothing weird going on here. They're for sure gonna read it 100% accurately and let's prove 'em wrong via Project Veritas. So here, Go from what they signed. It had to be a Republican. Yeah, I'm a Republican, but I'm a Democrat. I'm only Republican cause of this job Here in New York City, we met a man, perhaps a sleeper democrat, who got a job as an election inspector for the Republican Party in the Bronx. A rare sighting. Indeed. If you know anything about New York politics, watch how he tells their undercover journalists that he votes as a Democrat, but got a job as a re. Each party in New York picks their own observers, and somehow this guy, Donald Skinner, senior, got the job. I'm a Republican, but I'm a Democrat. So why I, Yeah, I, I'm only Republican cause of this job. What do you mean? Uh, in order for me to work, I had to be a Republican. Why? Cause it was the only one that was giving up to jobs at the time, and all the Democrats had all these spots filled. So I had to be, if I wanted to work and change the system. This side, it had to be a publican. Yo. Is there a lot of people like that? Yes. Excuse me. Oh, his name tag says he was an affidavit inspector for the Republican party. New York State law says there must be at least two inspectors. One from the Democratic Party and one from the Republican Party. Oh, nothing to see here if your ballot doesn't go in the right way. Well, you have one Democrat and another Democrat who's gonna sit here and read these ballots perfectly with precision without any bias whatsoever. You know, like being the complete opposite political party to begin with. Now, imagine two Democrats sitting there reading. And deciding what was actually on the ballots of these ones that weren't going through in a primarily Republican district. And that's all it takes is two people. You don't need this massive conspiracy of people and moving parts we're not, you know, if Naso Space mission never happened, too many people would know. Yeah, probably didn't happen, but. In this case, it's that much easier. It's that much easier here. You don't have to have a hundred thousand people in New York who, who help to make these things, These, these political parties sway or the political, uh, ballots change. You have two people, right? And in this case in Arizona. Oh, nothing to see here. We have a Democrat and a Republican. Even though the Republican might be an undercover. That's all he needed to get the job. That's so crazy. And this woman sitting here, you know, we'll go back to that in just a second saying that, Oh yeah, no problem. Nothing to see here. It's just all not working. Donald says the only way he can change the system is to pretend to be a Republican. I'm only Republican cause of this job. If I were to work and change the system from inside and to be recovery. Yep. There you have it. And what a wonderful job, as always, from, from Project Veritas. They always do great stuff. All right, so, uh, let's see, Uh, let's see what's going on with Pennsylvania right now, because I, the Federman Oz situation is, well, you know, we'll give one little update here. See if Denver's, uh, 1 22 has any updates too. Such an interesting situation there. Uh, currently sitting 64% to 35% or 35,000, 70,000 to 35,000, 64% to 35%. Wow. Crazy. All right, let's go ahead and check it on Pennsylvania. And see where they are at too, because that Oz Federman debate should literally be a reality show. Like, if you've ever seen a, a great, uh, a great movie with Zach Galinas called The Campaign It's the such a hilarious play on modern politics where he like punches the baby in the face. It's , it's amazing. Um, but anyways, there is your check-in. Let's see if we have. Any other information going on here that we want to touch on prior to moving on? I know it's a little bit of a quicker episode today, but you. I don't wanna sit here and update you guys, because tomorrow you'll know more than me. But here is just the, the interesting conversations surround the ELE surrounding the election that I found. So let's go ahead and maybe we can drop in and see if there's anything else going on here. Uh, let's do a double take on where we're at with Proposition three with Michigan. And again, if you didn't know what that was, that was something regarding, uh, it was under the guise of abortion rights, but really, uh, is. Changing of the Constitution of Michigan State laws to supersede all other state laws regarding the sexual, uh, sexualization basically of, of giving children the right to, uh, be taught sex education without parental consent or being able to pull their children out of the class. Allowing for, uh, women to have abortions up until the time and date of pregnancy as long as they say that they're having a, a mental health issue, which, you know, all women days away from giving. Probably have some sort of large amount of stress on them, I assume . And by assume, I mean I have a wife who has had three of my children, so I know there's a tremendous amount of stress on women at the time. But anyways, I digress. So, It'll be interesting to see how this plays out. Thank you guys for listening today. That is what I have for you. There is your updates on all things election shenanigans, including, You know, what we touched on was the celebrities coming out and supporting a Democrat who was once a Republican, which is about the craziest thing that you'll see because they would never support a Republican. That would be, call that crucification. Uh, they would be all but what's happening to Kanye West right now? Uh, and then we see some of the actual ballots that are going on between that. Denver one's crazy to me. I'm, I'm really, really surprised to see that on the ballot. I'm gonna be watching that one closely and we'll have to do a follow up. But, uh, anyways, guys, thank you so much for listening. I hope you have a wonderful day. Go check out the results if you are listening to this. Hopefully they're all in by the time you are listening. And we will be doing another episode this week. So stay tuned. Go head over to repo revolution.co.
