Best of the Program | Guest: Rabbi Yitzchok Adlerstein | 4/25/24

Bundle and safe with Expedia.

You were made to follow your favorite band and from the front row, we were made to quietly save you more.

Expedia, made to travel.

Savings vary and subject to availability, flight inclusive packages are at all protected.

Kind of a

kind of a roller coaster ride on the show today, wouldn't you say?

A little bit.

A little bit.

Ups and downs.

Yeah.

We started off the program talking about what is happening on our college campuses.

It is insane.

And we kind of end the show in the same kind of spirit.

We had a rabbi come in from the Simon Wiesenthal Center.

He's a great guy, great friend.

He just got back from Israel and we talked about how the world is splitting in light and dark, good and evil, or choose life or choose death.

Don't want to miss that.

Really, really good hour with

him.

And then we also went over the voting machines and what's happening in the 2024 election.

This is probably the most important 45 minutes that you could spend today bringing yourself up to speed on what can be done to shore up the elections and pass that on to a friend.

And of course, Stu had an update on the bloody horses that were running through the streets of London, but not really.

Strangely,

we still don't really know why one of them was covered in blood.

But we'll have all of that and so much more on today's podcast.

Here it is.

First, trust is in really short supply these days, taking some time to really think about that.

You know, maybe there's never, there was never really any good old days when everybody you met was good and upstanding citizen.

You could trust in a handshake.

But

at least there used to be more of them, it seems.

But is that entirely true?

I'm not sure.

Sometimes when you set out to find, and you're good people, trying to find good people, you'll find it's like you're a beacon.

And

we have found so many great real estate agents.

Realestateagentsitrust.com is my company.

And this is one of the biggest, hardest, and emotional decisions you're ever going to make is selling and buying a house.

And right now, it is really complex and dicey.

So you need the best real estate agent.

Could we pair you up with one today?

At least give you the opportunity to interview them.

Whether you're moving across town or across the country, or even if you just have questions,

they're going to have the person for the job at realestateagentsitrust.com.

You just contact us, tell us where you're moving from and to, what you're looking for,

and we will pair you up if we have one in your area.

We don't always have one in your area.

We don't just recommend anybody.

Realestateagentsitrust.com.

That's RealEstateAgents I Trust.com.

You're listening to

the best of the Blenbeck program.

There is an ancient evil

that is sweeping

the world,

and we have seen it before.

Yesterday, our college campuses were on fire.

New York, California, police being backed up into corners.

Some people being arrested.

Strangely, not in Texas.

A ⁇ M was

almost a war zone.

The governor comes out and says we will not tolerate anti-Semitism.

But the world is tolerating anti-Semitism and most of these college students really have no idea what they're even protesting.

And what would you say is the main goal with tonight's protest?

I think the goal is to showing our support for Palestine and demanding that NYU stop.

I honestly don't know all of what NYU is doing.

Is there something that NYU is doing?

I don't really know.

I'm pretty sure they're...

Do you know what NYU is doing?

About what?

About Israel.

Why are we protesting here?

Why are we even protesting?

I wish I was more educated.

I'm not sure.

This has happened before.

Benjamin Netanyahu yesterday.

What's happening on America's college campuses is horrific.

Anti-Semitic mobs have taken over leading universities.

They call for the annihilation of Israel.

They attack Jewish students.

They attack Jewish faculty.

This is reminiscent of what happened in German universities in the 1930s.

It's not only reminiscent of what happened in Germany in the 1930s,

it happened here in America.

It was February 20th, 1939.

Hitler was building his sixth concentration camp.

He was about to go into Poland.

And on the streets of Manhattan, Americans gathered to salute the flag at Madison Square Garden.

I pledge

undivided allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and the Republic for which it stands, one nation,

indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

Speaker after speaker

came

and stood in front of giant portraits of George Washington with the Nazi symbol.

Fellow Americans,

American patriots,

I'm sure I do not come before you tonight as a complete stranger.

You all have heard of me through the Jewish-controlled press

as a creature with horns,

a clawing hoof,

and a long tail.

We, with American ideals, demand that our government have be returned to the American people with boundaries.

Of course he sounds just like one of our founders, doesn't he?

What we are actively fighting for under our charter.

First, a socially just white Gentile ruled United States.

A socially just

white Gentile United States.

This has happened before in America and it's happening again.

There is one guy who has written an article that I saw, I think, yesterday or the day before from Semaphore.

He's a national political reporter.

David Weigel is with us.

And the pro-Palestinian protesters have all started to mask up.

Now, why would they do that?

David, welcome to the program.

It's good to be here.

Thank you for having me.

You bet.

So why are they masking up?

They're wearing, you know, COVID masks, N95 masks.

They are.

And I heard two reasons for this.

And I printed both of these reasons.

Not everyone I called got back to me.

But one was that on the left, I'd say more than anywhere else in the country,

there still is a belief that you need to mask up to protect from COVID.

You need to mask up to protect other people who might have comorbidities, et cetera.

It's always May 2020.

That's a belief that's out there.

But the National Lawyers Guild, which is sort of the left's legal legal advice clinic, which operates around the country, and other people on the left have said it is important to cover your face to avoid facial recognition, to avoid being doxxed, you know, to be in a photo and somebody looks up who you are and says, please fire this person.

They've been advising that for years, and they started advising that after 2020 because there were lots of anti-mask laws on the books to prevent people from concealing their identities.

And those laws were lifted or changed or halted because of the guidance that Anthony Fauci and others put in place in 2020.

So some of these people, I mean, these are the people that are going to be leading

the world

at some point.

These are the, quote, best and brightest in our universities.

And there is reason to believe that

they don't want to be known because they won't be able to get a job.

Well,

have you seen enough videos of people talking to reporters at these protests, often maybe a reporter from a more conservative outlet who students don't want to talk to, you might see this dissonance, right?

There are people who have decided to go out in the public space, be part of something big, be part of something historic with cameras literally surrounding them.

I mean, everyone has a camera phone,

and they don't want to go on camera, share their identity, take a mask off.

I have encountered that for years covering right and left protests.

I mean, I've been from January 6th, Baltimore riots I've just got covered a lot of this stuff

the attitude is generally that you want to be part you want to loan your body I would say to a mass demonstration but you don't necessarily want to put your face in front of it because you might be exposed that is the idea that

a mass movement does not mean that every single person is going to have an AE AE biography written about them or films about them.

It is my body is here because I'm here and because 1,000 or 2,000 or 5,000 people are here.

It's hard for the police, it's hard for our opposition to resist us.

And so hiding from cameras, the media, et cetera, that isn't contradictory.

You are still doing social justice if you personally don't want to have your name attached to it and your face attached to it.

So you brought up January 6th.

And

what happened on January 6th was a nightmare and horrible.

And I want everybody who broke a window, did damage, all of this stuff, threatening people, I want them all to go to jail,

correctly and justly be tried and go to jail.

You never hear anyone separate the good people from the bad people here.

And I'm wondering

how many of these protesters even have a clue as to what they're saying.

How many of them even know what the river to the sea means?

Well, that's a question usually you show up and ask people.

Can you define this term?

And again, you often encounter people who don't want to be in a gotcha game on camera, on a recorder, talking about this because they want to be part of something bigger.

I can't psychoanalyze for

every single person who's taking part in one of these protests.

But that attitude is there.

And I think in coverage of this, you're starting to see, not to get too meta because I'm covering it too, you're starting to see the negative impact of this.

There are people at a protest, the people who are most bold about going out there, not using a mask, getting a bullhorn, saying slogans.

They're often part of groups like the Party for Socialism or Liberation, the Revolutionary Communist Party.

They're people who are very drilled, who are already on every watch list, or already on the FBI's watch list, and will say things like, here is a slogan for you to chant, and the slogan means death to Israel, or here is a pro-Hamas flag that I'm waving.

They are

next to people who might just,

I'm not trying to be too patriotized.

They might have a different view of things or they just would like a ceasefire in Israel and they decided to go walk and join this protest because that seems to be the way to get it.

I mean, you made January, I mentioned January 6th, you mentioned it.

Were there people who showed up at protests, at stopped the steel protests, and were angry about the election, then went home?

There were.

There were also people who showed up and said they wanted to overthrow the government.

There were people who showed up at Black Lives Matter protests.

I got covered in 2020 who said, yes, I'd like more police reform.

And then they went home.

But the people with the megaphones were saying, and we want to overthrow capitalism and abolish prisons and police, right?

So I think by concealing their identities,

that has exacerbated the role that the more radical voices have in this movement.

And you see the backlash.

You see the way that

I'm just describing things without justifying them.

You're seeing the way that these protests are responded to by police, by governors, governors, et cetera.

They're responding to the very vocal anti-Israel sentiments, anti-Zionist, sometimes anti-Semitic, sometimes murderous sentiments they're hearing from people who do show up and say, here I am, here's who I am, here's what I believe, and

it is something that will offend 95% of the country or more.

How long do you think this lasts?

I mean, is this something that dies out?

I mean, I always thought the Occupy Wall Street thing would die out faster than it did.

And I think they actually had a huge impact.

I think those banks and those corporations saw that they were being disrupted and went, okay, well, we'll throw you some money your way and support your way.

Just leave us alone.

Is this real staying power?

And how big is this movement in America?

It has grown, but it's harder to quantify because

this has been happening

in places with Democratic politicians, in college towns, on college campuses.

There are parts of the country you can drive for 100 miles, you're not seeing anyone talk or put up a sign about this conflict.

But if you're Joe Biden and you go raise money in West L.A.

or Ann Arbor, et cetera, you're going to be surrounded by people for whom this is the defining issue.

So how much has it grown?

Hard question.

Now, the sentiment against funding the war, I should say, funding aid to Israel as it wages this war in Gaza, that has collapsed.

That's sort of the paradox here.

You look at polling for how many Americans want there to be the funding bill that was passed in the last week.

It's lower than, sorry, it's lower than the share of Americans who supported the Vietnam War at this point in 1870.

And I bring up Vietnam because not enough they haven't mentioned enough things, but a lot of protesters see themselves as heirs to that sort of anti-war movement, heirs to the people who showed up, protested the war, willing to get arrested, in some cases were shot.

And yes, they are willing.

That side of the movement is willing to just keep protesting, keep getting arrested, keep doing disobedience as long as the war is going on.

Some of them, I would say, and you have to separate, some of them for as long as Israel exists.

You could go to a left-wing protest when nothing was, there was a ceasefire, there was an anti-flata, nothing was happening in Israel.

There would be people calling for the end of the Jewish state to be replaced by Palestine.

That's been there for decades.

But this level of intensity and this sort of organizing, this is the motivator that is getting half the population of the Ivy League out onto the campus and protesting.

I think that is tied to how long this war goes on.

If there is a ceasefire, I would assume that a lot of the people I've been talking about, people who are showing up and protesting and don't necessarily want to be identified, but are not radicals.

Those people

I think would go home based on my experience and what happened with protests in the past.

You can see protests shrink over time, how many people are showing up to this because they're worried about being exposed or they think that

they might have believed in part of this cause, but it went too far for them.

I think that would happen at some point.

I don't think anything changes as long as

this war is going on.

That's the terminator here.

I mean, that's why Wall Street broke up for a number of reasons, but capitalism was still there.

The banks were still there.

The system they were protesting was still there.

This war,

again, not to overcomplicate things.

This war is defining these protests.

When the war is over, there still will be a movement, a smaller movement, that is agitating for just the destruction of the current state of Israel.

And I think their numbers will have increased, but they're not going to be able to a mass crowd like they are right now.

Now back to the podcast.

You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

Rabbi Itzhak Alderstein is with us now from the Simon Wiesenthal Center.

He is the director of Interfaith affairs.

He is one of my favorite people on earth.

Rabbi, good to have you.

Great to be here.

You just got back from Israel.

Correct.

How are things?

You know, we say in Israel, kumo kulonum, like everybody else.

It says a lot, means that we're going through some hard times, but we're still remarkably united.

There's some signs of things fracturing a little, but it's a minority of the country.

Were you there for the response from Iran?

There?

It was a night of biblical meaning.

I was one of the

overly naive people who actually believed the reports from the media when they first came in.

They've launched, they're on their way, but they're only going to hit two places in the country.

So unless you're at an Air Force base in the Negev or sitting on the Golan, hey, it should be okay.

So I actually went to sleep.

There weren't too many people who went to sleep to be awakened at 2 a.m.

by the sirens and my wife saying, We got to get downstairs to the bomb shelter.

What is that like to live like that?

It's not pleasant.

It's not pleasant.

But I had steeled myself to it before.

I figured

I'd rather die with my boots on figuratively, in most of the country, not figuratively, and die with pride as a Jew in God's land than cower in Brooklyn.

And

we went downstairs.

We had some guests over as well.

And we waited a couple of minutes and hey, nothing happened.

And then we get the all clear.

Hey, this was kind of like,

you know,

anticlimactic.

And we went upstairs and then, you know, just like...

figured we'd look outside and went outside.

We have a beautiful view from our porch in in Jerusalem and treated to a light show like it was 4th of July.

You know, you said it was biblical.

See if we're on the same page.

It felt, at least to me, like

just divine protection, the hand of God just putting a dome over

Israel.

How else do you get a 99% rate of taking those things down?

We know that there is human inaccuracy.

Look, anybody who plays video games knows that you don't always get those incoming

right.

And any one of those could have done damage.

And then a few days later, after we sustain almost no damage at all with one injury in a Bedouin village, a couple of days later, we finally respond to Iran.

and don't lob anything like those numbers there.

And they hit the munitions factory right next door to a nuclear installation and blow it up.

I got to tell you that what was done in Syria,

you're in a town in Syria and there are buildings right next to buildings and you hit with a missile one and that collapsed and seemingly no damage anywhere else.

It's incredible how accurate things are are happening with Israel.

Right.

And those who are believers don't attribute that to the might of the IDF, who are very, very, very grateful to the IDF, especially to the soldiers.

But they, you know, they got October 7th wrong, and there have been lots of friendly fire casualties because human error is always involved, and there wasn't here.

To those who are believers, this was as close to a Cecil B.

DeMille moment as we were going to get in our lifetime.

Yeah.

Forgive me for not knowing the

eschatology of

Jews,

but there's many Christians who believe we're living in the times for the return of the Messiah.

I know Iran believes that they're looking for the return of the promised one, the 12th Imam, which gives them a real bloodthirst at this point.

What do people in Israel feel about the Messiah?

Look, we've been waiting for a couple of thousand years and we pray every day and we don't hope for the Messiah to come.

Neither know he's coming.

We know he's coming.

Jews and Christians share that.

We don't hope for a better world.

It's guaranteed.

God's word is money in the bank.

Whether we're living on

those times,

there are hints of it.

I'm a little bit on the conservative side, so I try not to

set ourselves up for disappointment.

But there's one thing in the Talmud that

strikes me.

The Talmud says that one of the indications that you're on the verge or in the footsteps of the Messiah is that the generation of it is,

they're no fence sitters.

You're either on one side or you're on the other.

And we are so close.

So we really got there on October 8th when you have half of the people in the world, I hope it's half of the people in the world, or still still hundreds of millions who said, this is moral depravity.

If this can't be called not only evil, but

barbaric and demonic, then nothing is.

And other people are saying, well, really, nothing is.

It's all context.

Or you guys brought it about.

Or what do you expect?

So the world,

not just a small corner of it, and not just America, but the world has divided itself up into people who have room to understand morality and those who've rejected it and see everything is relative do you see

do you see in the rest of the world um

and i i i don't even want to know the answer to this hopefully you see a difference in christians the jews see a difference in christians this time around um from the last time but um

we are only seeing the bad stuff.

When you go over to Europe, are you seeing Christians and others,

surprisingly, maybe, standing up?

I'm surprised at the hesitation in your asking that question.

100%.

We're conscious in Israel that the only reliable allies we have on the face of the earth are Christians.

are serious Bible-believing Christians,

to be more specific.

And then there are good people all over.

I came back not so long ago from Berlin.

My youngest son lives in Berlin.

He's on the faculty of a rabbinical school in Berlin.

He lives across the street from the synagogue and community center and school where his kids go that was firebombed a couple of months ago.

So ever since the time that it was firebombed, a group of people, mostly Christian, mostly Christian, believing Christian, come every Friday night to

stand guard as a vigil for the people.

And these are just locals.

They're not bust in from other parts of Berlin.

Locals in the neighborhood.

Yes, there are people.

There are good people.

There are good people all over.

I can point to Palestinian friends as well.

You know,

I'm shocked because when I go over to Israel, and I'll talk to Palestinians, I don't go into Gaza, but when I talk to Palestinians who are living in Israel,

if the cameras are off,

they will always say,

I would much rather, I have a much better time in Israel than over in Gaza.

I live next door to the Jews, and we're fine.

But once the camera is on, you don't hear that very often.

And they're afraid.

They're afraid to say that.

Now, in Gaza, the ones who have been raised on this

poison,

I mean,

sort of like students in America who have been raised on a different kind of poison.

It's not all that different.

So what do you do?

You know, you can't put a fire out.

You can't put 80% of a fire out and then go, we're just going to take a break.

We didn't stop in Germany with the Nazis.

You cannot have the, you can't have anything other than, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.

And then you still have to go through the community and find those that were leaders of it and nuremberg

is

please tell me that israel is committed to no matter what the world says finishing this job because that's the only shot we have

the majority of the country is committed to that very very strongly there

there definitely is a minority that uh that that that's wavering.

Is it kind of the Tel Aviv kind of crowd?

Yeah.

Yeah, the Tel Aviv kind of crowd.

And some of

the old-time leftists and some of the old brass of the army, which is very reluctantly giving up control to a younger generation, which is much more committed, much more focused.

I don't know.

It would be so frustrating.

It's frustrating to live in America right now.

It would be so frustrating to have the bombs actually raining down and what happened on October 7th

and then sit next to somebody who's like, yeah, I think we should give it a pause.

It would be hard.

It would be hard.

What can we do to help?

What can this audience do to help?

What

do Jews here in America need?

And what do Jews in Israel need?

Well, that's a bunch of questions.

Jews

in Israel are enormously buoyed up by shows of support from the rest of the world.

On the one hand, we're prepared to go it alone.

What we've done, what the events of the last months, preceded by a couple of decades, have done is to produce

a Gen Z in Israel, which is the polar opposite of what we have here in the United States.

We're talking about kids who, when they're 18, 19,

learn to

live together, to cooperate

in the Army, learn that they have a national mission,

that they work for others and for community.

And now they've had a practicum in what it means to translate that into reality and see the reaction of the rest of the world.

So we're prepared, and

we have the strength to go at it.

And whatever God decides is the outcome, you know, we'll live with it or die with it.

But it is so comforting to know that it's not the entire world that has turned against us,

that there are good people

all over,

almost

exclusively people who believe in Abrahamic monotheism.

Yeah.

Do you have a theory on why this keeps happening?

People have been

coming up with theories about anti-Semitism for thousands of years.

The only theories that resonate with me is that Jews stand for something that consciously or subconsciously much of the world resists, which is a connection between man and God,

a people committed to a mission of making God's will something real.

Even Jews who are not observant still stand for that biblical message.

And that message is more than a lot of people can take.

Hitler supposedly said it best.

He said that there are two things that

we can never forgive the Jews for.

Circumcision and conscience.

That's a powerful statement.

This is the best of the Glenbeck podcast.

To hear more of this interview, check out the full episode, Anywhere Podcasts Are Found.

This is what happened.

Recently, Mayor.

Me aware of an alleged vulnerability in the Dominion voting systems.

It was mentioned in a federal court case.

I have to tell you,

I didn't even know how to begin to have a discussion on this, but I'll start with this.

We are not accusing Dominion of anything.

We are not saying that this alleged vulnerability has ever been used or existed.

In fact, I've got a been there, done that, got the t-shirt.

I have another t-shirt for you.

We're not even saying that this will be used to manipulate the next election.

We are doing one thing.

We are highlighting something that was alleged in a federal court.

We haven't seen anyone dispute it or even talk about the alleged vulnerability.

Now, it shouldn't matter what side you're on.

It shouldn't matter if you work for Dominion or any other voting machine company.

You, me, everyone, we all want a secure election.

We want there to be confidence on all sides when we vote.

Talking about potential issues gets us closer to those goals.

And asking questions used to be something that the both the left and the right agreed together that we should be doing.

I'm going to show you a transcript of a conversation on PBS regarding Georgia's voting machines.

Two of the experts, Alex Halderman and Hari

Hursty, said that they were potential

vulnerabilities that attackers could take advantage of.

Hursty said that Georgia's system was complicated and it doesn't seem to have any safeguards.

If you're curious, George's system is Dominion, the same system mentioned in the recent petition.

Now, the alleged vulnerability is different, but here they are all freely talking about it.

Take a look at this transcript.

It was October 2020.

Why was it okay for both sides to talk about it then, but hardly anyone will do it now?

Harry Hursty is somewhat of a legend in the community that searches for vulnerabilities in electronic voting systems.

He was featured in an HBO documentary explaining how he hacked a Diebold

voting machine back in 2005 using a single memory card.

I'll tell you the results of that hack later on in the program.

But that election system, Diebold, was later bought in 2010 by Dominion.

We don't know if this software is still in use, the HBO documentary website mentioned that, as of several years ago, it was

still used or not used.

There is an interesting history here.

The other expert featured in that PBS piece was Alex Halderman.

Last year, he was given access last year to the Georgia Dominion voting machines to see if he could find any vulnerabilities.

And

he did.

Halderman found Dominion's machines in Georgia are quote critically vulnerable to hacking, vulnerable to vote switching.

Dominion countered that the hack was unrealistic, but federal authorities found the same vulnerabilities and more than 20 cybersecurity experts backed up Halderman's findings.

Now, there was never any evidence that this was taken advantage of in an election.

The worry is that this could be abused in

future elections.

So this is actually a good story.

Everyone seems to be in agreement that the hack is possible and we know about it in advance.

So it should be easily fixed, right?

All you have to do is upgrade the system before November and it's over.

Well, not so fast.

Quote, Some of the issues could be mitigated by upgrading the Dominion software, but Georgia officials say the upgrade is unrealistic, an enormous undertaking.

They won't start until after the 2024 elections.

What?

I mean, I hate to say that this gives the appearance that they're not taking the election security seriously.

That's quite a quote.

I only point out these recent vulnerabilities to show you that they have been found before, and that not only that,

but the experts and the media used to talk about them all the time.

I don't want to look backward.

The past is the past, but we must fix the system if there's a problem.

There was one specific allegation in the court documents that caught my eye.

It was so technical and specific, I hadn't seen it anywhere.

But this is an excerpt from the lawsuit that describes the alleged vulnerability.

This is public, and that's that's one reason why we wanted to do this show.

You can read this for yourself, but I have to warn you, the nerd speak sounds like a mixture of Greek combined with Japanese.

This is not something anyone and everyone could do.

Luckily, I have my nerd speaker decoder ring.

In a nutshell, here's what it describes.

It describes how Dominion's democracy suite systems encrypt their data.

An encryption key is needed to access the critical data.

Some call it the God key.

It should be kept encrypted itself.

But in the allegation described in the lawsuit, it claims that on some Dominion machines, it's not.

The allegation claims that the encryption key can easily be secured for

on the system

and that the only security safeguard is logging into Windows.

This petition that makes this claim from March

claims that malicious, a malicious actor could use this to quote gain total access and control over an election end quote.

When you go to vote and you get a ballot you mark your selections of the voting machine.

Then when you're finished the machine prints the vote.

You take that to a tabulator.

An election official scans the ballot into the tabulator and records your vote.

The information is later saved to a memory card and that is taken to a computer.

That computer is where this alleged vulnerability is claimed to be.

How many people in the election office have access to that computer?

What if the only guy with the key in that office is malicious?

What if someone broke in?

Now clearly this does not appear to be something that anyone could pull off.

People without the proper skill could not do this.

I couldn't do this.

But what's being alleged would take some expertise, but appears that maybe

the court filing described this alleged vulnerability as, quote,

a bank telling the public that they have the most secure vault in the world and then taping the combination of the vault on the wall next to the door.

I'm going to show you some video here and some long disclaimers.

Why don't you take the disclaimer?

Because we asked a cybersecurity expert with knowledge of this allegation to attempt to recreate what was described in the court case.

Could they do it?

We asked them if they could use the same Dominion software and then asked if they could screen record the entire process.

So they did.

Disclaimer, and then I think we have another disclaimer coming up.

Yeah, so an additional disclaimer.

Okay.

This is the Microsoft admin computer.

So you would log in here, put your password in, it would open up to this, then you would go into the tabulation.

Okay, database does not require additional password once a viewer is logged into Windows.

Okay, we're fine.

All of this up there, it's all encrypted, you see?

But the encryption keys are stored in this table right here in plain text so they take the keys this is the key to the main vault and you cut and paste

you put the last one over here now watch what happens when you put the keys in

here's the last one

this is what happens all encrypted you see there's no information Now you can decrypt the election files using the extracted keys and a few lines lines of code.

Open.

There's the encryption.

Now using the keys, a description script is executed.

And now I have the names.

I have everything that I need.

It's now decrypted.

It's the knock list.

It's out in the open.

A user can run a script to re-encrypt it if they wanted to make any changes.

The conclusion from the expert, with no password in just a few minutes with an election server, an individual can access the keys to the election.

That

is stunning.

Let me play one more thing

because I brought John Graves in last night.

We went to the chalkboard and I said, just so people understand what I just showed you, look at this.

Well, I want to make sure that we have this right and everybody understands.

Yes.

The election, the voting machine, is like a bank.

Exactly.

Yes.

And to get in to the front door, you need a key.

Who would have that key?

All the commissioners?

Yeah, any Dominion employee, a county commissioner, they would either have it or have authority.

Anybody who can access the database has the PC login key.

Okay.

So that's a Windows PC, right?

Yes.

And it's all normal, and you just sign in.

Username and password, and you put the password in it.

And it opens the door of the bank.

and you're in the bank lobby right but you should not be able to open the vault no you should not okay with the key to the bank right okay so you have the key to the and all commissioners have this and that's normal yeah right yeah but in the lobby of the bank that's right in the open are the four keys that open the vault that's right So what can you do in the vault with the four keys?

Yeah, so the allegations that were made in this lawsuit that you pointed pointed out,

these keys could shut off the cameras and wipe that you were there because they're encryption keys.

They could take the gold and replace it with counterfeit gold, take the cash, replace it with counterfeit cash.

You would never know it.

And then literally go right back out and no one would know that you're there.

You showed that on the demonstration of the cybersecurity experts.

That's not good.

No, it's not good at all.

That's why it alarmed me.

All right.

So we're going to go through this just a little bit more.

And then the most important part, what do we do?

This audience could play a very big role in saving the Republic, but it's going to take your time.

It's not hard.

It's really not hard, but we all have to do it because this is really kind of happening through us.

And so you have to spread the word because there's, you know, there may be 10 million people listening, but, you know,

that's not enough.

We need everybody to be aware of this.

Charlie Sheen is an icon of decadence.

I lit the fuse, and my life turns into everything it wasn't supposed to be.

He's going the distance.

He was the highest-paid TV star of all time.

When it started to change, it was quick.

He kept saying, No, no, no, I'm in the hospital now, but next week I'll be ready for the show.

No, Charlie's sober.

He's gonna tell you the truth.

How do I present this with any class?

I think we're past that, Charlie.

We're past that, yeah.

Somebody call action, aka Charlie Sheen, only on Netflix, September 10th.
