## About this episode

The 2020 election night fallout has triggered a massive discrepancy between cable news projections and actual vote counts, with major networks like CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News calling states like Virginia for Joe Biden while he trailed significantly in the live tabulation. This media-led selection process mirrors the 1960 Nixon-Kennedy election, as outlets now assume the role of picking the president through irregular victory statements and selective state calling. Meanwhile, the Trump campaign has launched legal challenges in Georgia, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania, citing statistical anomalies and pre-manufactured protest signage as evidence of a coordinated narrative.

Secondary reports indicate that Fulton County election officials hired contract staff as late as election evening, providing only a brief webinar for training before processing ballots under high pressure. In Pennsylvania, Secretary of the Commonwealth Kathy Boockvar allegedly issued guidance allowing officials to release the identities of voters with rejected ballots, enabling Democratic operatives to 'cure' specific votes. Further concerns involve the 'Hammer' and 'Scorecard' surveillance programs, with retired General Thomas McInerney and attorney Sidney Powell investigating claims of digital vote manipulation. Internationally, the Netherlands and Spain have ordered the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of mink due to COVID-19 transmission fears, while Germany implements strict new lockdowns closing bars and 'prostitution sites.'

Joe Biden’s recent gaffes include referring to Stevie Wonder as a 'generally' national treasure and misreading his teleprompter to claim he was ahead by '30,000 verts.' Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak highlight the 'Miss Heartland' posturing of Lady Gaga’s latest campaign video and the performative 'LARPing' of activist groups caught on leaked Zoom calls. The episode also features a review of the $199 Linux-based Pine Phone and the release of the Raspberry Pi 400.

### 1. Animated No Agenda YouTube Takedown and Media Power (0:00–3:46)

YouTube removed an Animated No Agenda video for allegedly violating community guidelines regarding local health authorities and World Health Organization guidance on social distancing. The segment featured Anthony Fauci discussing PCR cycle counts, which the platform flagged as content disputing the efficacy of health protocols. This incident serves as a catalyst for the ongoing development of decentralized Podcasting 2.0 infrastructure to bypass big technology company control.

### 2. Media Discrepancies in 2020 Election Night Electoral Counts (3:48–7:10)

Major cable news networks including MSNBC, CNN, and Fox News displayed conflicting electoral vote counts during the 2020 election night coverage. Historical parallels are drawn to the 1960 Nixon-Kennedy election, which was allegedly influenced by Mayor Daley's political machine in Illinois. The discussion posits that the media has assumed the role of "picking the president" through irregular victory statements and selective state calling.

### 3. Statistical Modeling and Premature State Calls in Virginia and Arizona (7:11–9:41)

News outlets utilized historical data and flawed polling to call states like Virginia for Joe Biden while he trailed significantly in the actual count. Conversely, red states like Texas remained uncalled despite high tabulation percentages, leading to a perception of media interference. The subsequent recall of Arizona's status highlights the volatility of these statistical projections during the 2020 vote count.

### 4. Trafalgar Group Polling Accuracy and Nate Silver Failures (9:44–12:10)

The Trafalgar Group emerged as a rare accurate polling entity by predicting Republican Senate retention and House gains, contrasting with Nate Silver's incorrect prediction of a "blue" Texas. Traditional phone polling is described as obsolete due to the "social desirability bias" where Republican voters refuse to engage with pollsters. Effective modern polling now requires ground-level neighborhood assessments similar to investigative techniques.

### 5. Staged Biden Speeches and Pre-made Election Protest Signage (12:10–15:03)

Observations from Philadelphia reveal that "Count Every Vote" signs from the Socialist Alternative and "Stop the Count" signs were pre-manufactured and distributed immediately following the election. A Joe Biden speech in a parking lot is criticized as a staged event, noting the presence of exclusively 2020 model Jeep vehicles. These optics suggest a coordinated effort by the Democratic campaign and media to project a specific narrative of momentum.

### 6. Trump Campaign Legal Challenges and State Recount Petitions (15:04–18:44)

The Trump campaign issued formal statements regarding insurmountable leads in Georgia and North Carolina while petitioning for a recount in Wisconsin due to the 1% margin. Allegations of "glitches" in Michigan and Wisconsin vote spikes are being prepared for potential Supreme Court intervention. Federal law requires electoral numbers to be finalized by December 8th, though legal disputes could extend the process into January.

### 7. Stevie Wonder Drive-In Rally and Biden Verbal Gaffes (18:46–22:10)

A drive-in campaign event in Michigan featuring Stevie Wonder is described as having low attendance and inconsistent social distancing enforcement. During the event, Joe Biden referred to Stevie Wonder as a "generally" national treasure instead of "genuinely," a mistake categorized under "Dumb Shit Biden Says" (DSBS). The segment highlights the contrast between strict COVID-19 safety announcements and the actual behavior of attendees at the rally.

### 8. Amy Coney Barrett Recusal Rumors and Judicial Impartiality (22:11–24:12)

Speculation has surfaced regarding whether Justice Amy Coney Barrett should recuse herself from election-related cases because she was appointed by Donald Trump. This logic is criticized as nonsensical, as it would theoretically apply to Justices Kavanaugh and Gorsuch as well. The discussion suggests these rumors are part of a broader effort to delegitimize the conservative majority on the Supreme Court.

### 9. Transition from Mail-In Ballots to Internet and Blockchain Voting (24:13–27:19)

The current mail-in ballot system is characterized as a "fiasco" that will be used to justify a transition to internet-based or blockchain voting. While blockchain offers an open ledger, concerns are raised about the potential for coercion and tech company manipulation of digital votes. Reference is made to Dr. Robert Epstein's congressional testimony regarding the influence of search engines on voter behavior.

### 10. Joy Reid Racial Comments and "Uncle Clarence" Slur (27:19–29:08)

MSNBC host Joy Reid is criticized for referring to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas as "Uncle Clarence," a derogatory reference to the "Uncle Tom" slur. This rhetoric is presented as evidence of the Democratic Party's agitation regarding the Supreme Court's role in election litigation. The segment highlights the perceived hypocrisy of media figures who accuse others of racism while using racially charged language themselves.

### 11. Fulton County Election Volunteer Training and Webinar Oaths (29:10–30:43)

An interview with a Fulton County election official reveals that many poll workers were contract staff hired as late as election evening. These individuals were reportedly "trained" via a quick webinar and sworn in shortly before processing ballots under high pressure. This rapid onboarding process is cited as a potential source of errors in the Georgia vote tabulation.

### 12. Sky News Australia Analysis of US Media Failures (30:44–33:38)

Sky News Australia commentators argue that the US political media class has been repudiated by the close election results, which contradicted "landslide" predictions. CNN's Van Jones is noted for describing the results as a lack of a "moral victory" for Democrats. The discussion concludes that big tech and mainstream media maxed out their influence but failed to achieve the definitive rejection of Trump they sought.

### 13. Pennsylvania Mail-In Ballot Discrepancies and Chyron Errors (33:38–35:16)

A local news station in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, displayed a chyron showing 142,000 mail-in ballots counted despite only 89,000 being returned. While some view this as evidence of fraud, the hosts suggest it may be a simple data entry error by "dense" newsroom staff. This discrepancy highlights the confusion caused by rapid reporting of complex mail-in voting data.

### 14. Watermarked Ballots and Department of Homeland Security Sting Theory (35:17–40:11)

A theory circulating in intelligence circles suggests that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) placed non-radioactive isotopes or watermarks on official ballots to track fraud. This "sting operation" would theoretically allow investigators to distinguish between legitimate ballots and those printed illicitly during late-night "ballot dumps." The discussion notes that official ballots are printed in specialized facilities with tracking codes similar to currency.

### 15. Philadelphia Voter Identity Disclosure and Provisional Ballots (36:16–43:00)

The Pennsylvania Secretary of the Commonwealth reportedly issued guidance allowing officials to release the identities of voters whose mail-in ballots were rejected. Allegations suggest that Democratic operatives used this information to contact specific voters and have them submit provisional ballots to "cure" their votes. This practice is criticized as a violation of equal protection if not applied uniformly to all voters regardless of party.

### 16. Build Back Better Transition Website and Globalist Rhetoric (43:01–44:42)

The Biden campaign launched the "buildbackbetter.com" transition website, adopting a slogan used by global leaders in the UK, France, and the World Economic Forum. Barack Obama echoed this sentiment in tweets supporting the Biden-Harris ticket. The discussion frames this as a "globalist mantra" signaling a specific policy direction for a potential Biden administration.

### 17. 2015 NBC Polling and the Setup for Biden (44:42–46:27)

Archival footage from 2015 shows NBC's Chuck Todd and Lester Holt discussing poll numbers that favored Joe Biden over Hillary Clinton in a hypothetical matchup against Donald Trump. The hosts argue this was the beginning of a long-term media "setup" to position Biden as the most viable Democratic candidate. The segment emphasizes the media's role in shaping political narratives years before elections occur.

### 18. Air Force One Operating Costs and Campaign Reimbursement (46:27–48:16)

A discussion on the logistics of presidential travel reveals that Air Force One costs approximately $240,000 per hour to operate. While the government pays for official travel, political campaigns are required to reimburse a portion of the costs when the aircraft is used for rallies. To save money, the president occasionally uses a smaller Boeing 757 (C-32) instead of the primary 747 (VC-25).

### 19. Joe Biden's Cognitive Decline and 2017 Comparison (48:19–51:34)

A comparison of Joe Biden's speech at the 2017 World Economic Forum to his 2020 campaign appearances suggests a significant "breakneck" deterioration in his cognitive clarity. In the 2017 clip, Biden spoke extensively about the Fourth Industrial Revolution, artificial intelligence, and the future of middle-class jobs. The hosts contrast this "Middle Class Joe" persona with his current reliance on teleprompters and frequent verbal slips.

### 20. Maxine Waters and Media Narratives on Black Trump Voters (51:35–53:45)

Representative Maxine Waters expressed dismay over Black voters supporting Donald Trump, attributing his support to "dog whistling" to white supremacists. This is contrasted with media analysis from Joy Reid and others who claim the close election results prove widespread "anti-blackness" in America. The discussion highlights the pressure placed on minority voters to adhere to specific political alignments.

### 21. Deutsche Welle Election Analysis and "Racist" Voter Claims (53:46–58:39)

German outlet Deutsche Welle (DW) featured analysis claiming that 50% of Americans agree with "racist or misogynistic" sentiments by supporting Trump. The analyst, an American expat, argued that Trump reflects a worldview shared by half the country while simultaneously admitting that her own Republican-run district in the US is well-managed. The hosts criticize this as a self-contradictory and offensive generalization of the American electorate.

### 22. Voter Suppression Claims vs. Local Election Management (58:40–1:01:10)

A Deutsche Welle analyst claimed that the removal of ballot drop boxes and consolidation of polling places in Democratic areas constitutes voter suppression. However, the discussion points out that these local election decisions are often made by the very Democratic officials running those counties. The segment argues that "voter suppression" is frequently used as a buzzword to explain away logistical failures in heavily populated urban areas.

### 23. Electoral College Reform and Popular Vote Arguments (1:01:10–1:03:44)

The Washington Post and other media outlets have renewed calls to abolish the Electoral College in favor of a national popular vote. Critics argue that without the Electoral College, a few high-population states like California and New York would effectively govern the entire country, leading to the marginalization of smaller states. The segment emphasizes that the US is a constitutional republic designed to prevent "mob rule."

### 24. Media Financial Incentives for Abolishing the Electoral College (1:03:45–1:06:54)

A theory is presented suggesting that the media's push to abolish the Electoral College is driven by financial interests. Currently, political advertising spending is concentrated in a few "swing states" like Pennsylvania, leaving media properties in states like California and New York without significant revenue. A national popular vote would force candidates to spend billions on advertising in major media markets across all 50 states.

### 25. Campaign Finance Reform and Media Bottom Lines (1:06:54–1:10:21)

Former CBS CEO Les Moonves is quoted from 2015 stating that the election was "good for our bottom line" due to record-breaking political advertising revenue. The discussion posits that true campaign finance reform will never happen because the media industry is the primary beneficiary of the billions spent on elections. This financial dependency ensures that the media remains invested in high-conflict, high-spending political cycles.

### 26. Biden's Premature Victory Report and "Verts" Gaffe (1:10:25–1:13:36)

During a late-night address, Joe Biden mistakenly said he was ahead by "30,000 verts" before correcting himself to "votes," likely due to misreading the word "virtually" on his teleprompter. The segment also introduces a "Joe Biden Soundboard" featuring various gaffes, such as his "Corn Pop" story and "lying dog-faced pony soldier" comment. These clips are used to illustrate the candidate's perceived lack of mental acuity during the campaign.

### 27. The Failure of Zoom Education and Teacher Challenges (1:13:37–1:15:41)

A host shares a personal experience guest-speaking at a Bergen Community College class via Zoom, describing the medium as a "farce" for education. The observation notes that students are often disengaged, distracted, or performing unrelated tasks while on camera. The segment concludes that remote learning is a failure for human communication and expresses sympathy for teachers forced to use the platform.

### 28. Parliamentary System Proposals and Divided Government (1:15:42–1:19:01)

Some political commentators are advocating for the US to adopt a parliamentary system to avoid the gridlock of a divided Congress. However, historical data shows that US presidents rarely control both the House and Senate for their entire terms. A divided government is framed as a positive "do nothing" safeguard, whereas a parliamentary system would allow a simple majority to implement radical changes like packing the Supreme Court.

### 29. Millennial Anxiety and Political Virtue Signaling (1:19:04–1:22:05)

Millennials are described as experiencing extreme physical and psychological anxiety over the election results due to "under-informed and over-socialized" habits. This hysteria is characterized as a form of virtue signaling, where individuals claim they cannot function or work if their preferred candidate loses. The discussion suggests this trauma is largely performative and fueled by hyperbolic media headlines.

### 30. Bruce Springsteen's Threat to Leave the US (1:22:07–1:25:23)

Musician Bruce Springsteen stated he would leave the United States if Donald Trump won re-election.

### 31. Electronic Voting Machines and Paper Trail Security (1:25:24–1:27:34)

The mechanics of modern voting involve touchscreens that produce a human-readable paper strip, which is then scanned by a second machine. Concerns are raised about the "air bridge" between these computers and where the data goes after scanning. The discussion recalls past controversies involving Diebold machines and the potential for upstream vote manipulation in the digital tabulation process.

### 41. COVID-19 Mink Culls in the Netherlands and Spain (2:19:04–2:22:40)

Officials in the Netherlands and Spain have ordered the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of mink after the animals tested positive for COVID-19. There are concerns that the virus can pass back and forth between humans and mink, leading to widespread culls in the fur industry. The hosts question if this is an "animal rights scam" similar to the foot-and-mouth disease culls in the UK.

### 43. PCR Testing Persistence and NFL/NBA Discrepancies (2:25:23–2:27:57)

A producer shares his experience testing positive for COVID-19 for over 60 days despite feeling healthy, as the PCR test continues to detect non-infectious viral fragments. This raises questions about why NFL and NBA players are able to test negative and return to play within a week. The discussion suggests that professional athletes may have access to different, more expensive testing protocols not available to the general public.

### 46. New Zealand Quarantine Centers and Government Exemptions (2:34:43–2:38:34)

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern faced questions regarding a public health worker who was allowed to quarantine at home instead of being sent to a managed isolation facility. This is contrasted with the strict "quarantine center" requirements for regular citizens, suggesting a two-tiered socialist system that exempts government workers. The hosts refer to these facilities as "gulags" for the non-compliant.

A new film titled "Songbird," produced during the pandemic and starring Demi Moore, depicts a future "COVID-23" mutation and 213 weeks of lockdown. The trailer features quarantine camps and thermal scans, which the hosts describe as "predictive programming" designed to prepare the public for permanent restrictions. The segment notes the high production value of the film despite being marketed as a "Zoom movie."

### 48. Piers Morgan vs. Nigel Farage on "Bleach" Comments (2:40:30–2:45:33)

Piers Morgan and Nigel Farage engaged in a heated debate over whether Donald Trump suggested people "inject bleach" to treat COVID-19. Farage argued that Trump used the word "disinfectant" in a general medical context and never mentioned "bleach" or "drinking" it. The hosts use this to illustrate "Dementia A/B" cognitive dissonance, where the media narrative overrides the literal words spoken in a video clip.

### 49. Prevalence-Induced Concept Change and "Phantom Berries" (2:45:34–2:51:06)

A 2018 scientific study discussed by Brett and Heather Weinstein explains "prevalence-induced concept change," where humans expand their definition of a stimulus as it becomes rarer. For example, as actual racism decreases, people begin to perceive "microaggressions" or neutral faces as threats to satisfy a biological search pattern. This "neurological relativism" is used to explain the rise of movements like the 1619 Project and Black Lives Matter.

### 50. Media Amplification of Systemic Racism Perceptions (2:51:07–2:55:18)

The concept of "prevalence-induced concept change" is applied to celebrities like Jack Dorsey and Brad Pitt, who perceive "systemic racism" everywhere despite its objective decline. The media acts as an amplification factor, creating a feedback loop where non-existent "red berries" are reported as ubiquitous. This psychological phenomenon explains why "under-informed and over-socialized" individuals are easily triggered by modern social justice narratives.

### 51. Failed Belt and Road Pork Shipment to China (2:55:18–2:57:05)

A pilot rail shipment of Finnish pork intended for China via the "Belt and Road" route was halted at the Russian border due to documentation issues. The 20,000 kilos of pork had to be "destroyed," though the hosts speculate that Russian officials likely stole and consumed the meat. This failure highlights the ongoing logistical and bureaucratic hurdles facing China's global infrastructure projects.

### 52. Pine Phone Review and Linux Mobile Challenges (2:57:05–2:59:59)

The Pine Phone "Convergence Edition" is a $199 Linux-based smartphone featuring physical switches to disable the camera, microphone, and Wi-Fi for privacy. However, a hands-on review reveals the device is currently a "piece of crap" with frequent software crashes and a non-functional browser. While the concept of a "desktop in your pocket" is promising, the segment concludes the technology is at least two years away from being consumer-ready.

The Raspberry Pi 400 has been released, featuring a complete Linux computer built into a keyboard, reminiscent of the Commodore 64 or VIC-20. While marketed as a $100 computer, the total cost increases when adding a monitor and peripherals. The device comes pre-loaded with a Linux distribution and productivity software, making it a powerful and affordable option for basic computing and video editing.

### 54. "Snoop" Banking App and Ring Camera Surveillance (3:01:36–3:03:56)

A UK-based app named "Snoop" has raised £10 million to analyze users' bank transactions and provide spending tips, a level of data access the hosts find alarmingly intrusive. Simultaneously, Amazon's Ring is trialing 24/7 video streaming to police in Jackson, Mississippi. These developments are framed as the voluntary construction of a "Skynet" surveillance system by citizens who prioritize convenience over privacy.

### 55. California Proposition 24 and Big Tech Privacy Layers (3:03:57–3:06:13)

California's Proposition 24 passed, adding new layers of complexity to state privacy laws that critics argue will only benefit large tech companies with extensive legal teams. These "whipsaw" bills often make compliance unworkable for small businesses while entrenching the dominance of Google and Twitter. The segment suggests this is a precursor to federal changes in Section 230 that will further bureaucratize the internet.

### 58. Ant Group IPO Cancellation and Chinese Regulation (3:17:26–3:20:03)

The Ant Group IPO, which was expected to be the largest in history, was abruptly cancelled by the Chinese government. Speculation suggests the crackdown was due to the company's "sketchy" transaction claims and its potential competition with China's official digital currency. The segment notes that the government likely wanted a larger "piece of the action" and sought to avoid a potential financial embarrassment.

Lady Gaga released a campaign video for Joe Biden featuring her wearing fatigues, leaning against a pickup truck, and crushing a beer can to appeal to "Middle America." The video was widely mocked on social media for its perceived inauthenticity and "Miss Heartland" posturing. The hosts discuss the failure of celebrity endorsements that rely on stereotypical portrayals of rural voters.

Millie Weaver released a video featuring leaked Zoom calls from activist groups like the Sunrise Movement discussing plans to "shut down" Washington D.C. and block access to the White House. While the activists use terms like "coup," the hosts characterize the footage as "LARPing" (Live Action Role Playing) by hyperbolic douchebags. The segment highlights the performative nature of these groups and their reliance on encrypted apps like Signal for coordination.

### 61. David Brooks and Mark Shields on "O'Biden" Leadership (3:27:20–3:33:16)

PBS NewsHour commentators David Brooks and Mark Shields discussed the election, with Shields comparing Joe Biden to Franklin D. Roosevelt as an "optimistic rallying figure."
