The daily caller those sites they say Democrats are the ones trying to steal elections trying to destroy democracy So we should be clear. There's a house of music going on I'm going on here It's Democrats and folks like Brian stelter that are the actual threat to this country And I personally base that on the standards that they make up and try to hold us to for example Since at least the year 2000 every single election that Democrats have lost they claim was stolen or illegitimate every single time Democrats attempt to decertify states votes and overturn the election or core selectors to change their votes They are the ones who originally started propagating conspiracy theories and sowing distrust in the election system Just go down the list of all the things they now call an attack on democracy as part of their anti-Republican narrative And they're guilty of every single one of those things They fuck hole on the road to the bush inaugural rumors of a congressional challenge to the election results are picking up steam on the Eve of the certification of the electoral college numbers You say it's just a protest, but it does bring attention to the problem of our system when it comes to voting here in the United States We've got an electoral system out there that doesn't work We spend more on prison food in this country than elections what they want to do in part is to highlight what they call the massive disenfranchisement as Representative Conyers said in the letter that you just presented of voters in Ohio So many voters were disenfranchised they said that the Ohio vote and the result of the presidential election are still in doubt The outcome of course was not changed delayed less than three hours The Republican leaders like congressman delay in Ohio Republican chair Bob Bennett treated it as if the Capitol had been pillaged by the Visicots the Democrats knew that it was a pretty ceremonial objection, but regarded it as Important why did both sides treat this like political dynamite? It would have been nice if both sides could get on a more bipartisan footing and look at these problems I think senator boxer made an excellent point today when she said we've got soldiers abroad dying For democracy, but and we need to fix our own democracy here at home We think that our voting machines are too vulnerable for researchers have repeatedly just demonstrated that ballot recording machines and other voting systems Are susceptible to tempering even hackers with limited prior knowledge tools and resources are able to breach voting machines in a matter of minutes in 2018 Electronic voting machines in Georgia and Texas deleted votes for certain candidates or switch votes from one candidate to another the biggest seller of voting Machines is doing something that violates cyber security 101 directing that you install remote access software Which would make a machine like that, you know a magnet for fraudsters and hackers these voting machines can be hacked quite easily You could easily hack into them It makes it seem like all these states are doing Different things, but in fact three companies are controlling that an external party could access the machine's wireless feature To quote record voting data or inject malicious data. There are a lot of states that are dealing with antiquated machines Right, which are vulnerable to being hacked silence peasant. It's completely different when we do it What we actually see happening here since the year 2000 is a gradual escalation every time democrats lose an election This escalation started and driven by democrats led up to a moment where Republicans finally called an election stolen and did all of the things democrats had previously done The fact is the media simply never reported on those things in the same way that we see them now reporting since Biden was elected and if someone does bring it up Then we get the typical leftist reassurances that it's totally different when they're doing it Okay, so now we've established that election denial asking questions about the voting machines And generally sowing distrust in the election system has been driven by democrats up until 2016 and now We'll punish ourselves some more. There's a big difference between saying election skeptics and i don't know democracy destroyers democracy destroyers What thef how did you think about the writing the choice of language for your recent article? It's really tough because I think you don't want to be too dismissive of these folks. You don't want people to sort of Assume that they're so crazy. You shouldn't even pay attention to them But you don't you also don't want to I think calling them election skeptics is a little bit too polite Most of these people are beyond skepticism. I occasionally I mean at a magazine I sort of have a little more free reign to call them what I want I sometimes call them liars being clear about the threat to democracy is one of the most important things That american journalists can do well. It's the responsibility of journalists to report the facts And I completely understand why covering Trump's potential candidacy in 2024 is an extremely important story I mean, this is a person that's actively subverting american democracy So you see if their political opponents win elections and don't for a second believe that it's just for trump It doesn't matter who the republican nominee is. They'll say the exact same things But if that happens, it means their warped version of democracy is under attack Which will then give them even more justification in their heads to continue being the actual authoritarian threat to this country Just use your imagination to see how bad this could all go. All right, folks. That's it for that one Thanks a lot for watching. Please if you enjoyed it hit that like button share and subscribe And I'll see you all in the next video
