Political Matrix News: AI Driving Political Narratives · Palafox Media Network

• Greg Fink: Hello Skype! Scott Miller: ⁓ Hey, hey, Greg, thanks. for joining us everyone out there on the internet for another edition of the political matrix news. I'm Scott Miller. This is my long time partner, Greg Fink. We ⁓ the political matrix. Greg Fink: Yeah. Yes, we are the good part of it anyway. And so, I'm just kidding, everybody else. But no, mean, it's been fun, the last several decades here watching campaigns go out, but we have seen stuff now through the wonderful world of AI that is changing everything dynamically through the campaign world and campaign apparatus on the communication side of it. It's not really just campaigns. I I'm talking about, you know, If it made living underneath the rock about Donald Trump's wonderful photo of him being Jesus through AI and or a doctor or whatever it says that he wanted to be. But the whole point here is that, you know, yes, he's the first one to do something crazy and silly and stupid and unforced error like this. However, he's not going to be the last. No, and I mean, granted, if they had AI like this back during Reagan years and the Carter years. Scott Miller: He's not even close. Greg Fink: They'd be doing it the whole time. mean, I think you said yesterday, we are in a new time and this is the way it Scott Miller: It is the way it is. come out and they drop these memes. Everyone is struggling for relevance. I'm not saying Trump is struggling for relevance because he's one of the most relevant people in the world. But also, did he something that is being viewed as inappropriate? Is it the ruinous thing that the Democrats were desperately hoping will happen at any time? it's not even close. Anyone that thinks that it is doesn't really understand the issues to begin with. They're just, they're just grossly grabbing straws, hoping that some, hoping they can get some to take traction. But this isn't it. Greg Fink: or policy. No, isn't. mean, it is a club that he handed them that he did not need to hand them to beat it. Yeah, I mean, they're going to beat it over the Republicans' heads and it could possibly hurt turnout. It's going to definitely affect fundraising for the Democrats. being said, if Republicans can't overcome that, then they probably shouldn't be running in the first place. So, I mean, this is something that the Republicans candidates who are all running throughout the country should be able to overcome. It should not be an error. Scott Miller: This is unforced error for sure. Greg Fink: or anything that's going to be holding them down. And if it is holding them down, then they probably should not be the candidate running at all anyway. And so, you know, grow up, get over it. Yeah, he made a mistake. He made a stupid idea and everything. I've, you know, we've talked numerous times on this show that he is the way he is. That's what we elected. And I got, he's an 80 year old guy with an AI toy. And that's, he made, you know, he made a boo boo. And that being said, we're going to move on from it and get over it. But Scott Miller: I'm sure Greg Fink: I because the actions, I mean, I've talked to lot of religious people here this week. They're all angry about it. They're all despicable about it. They all think it's horrible and evil and offended. But one thing they don't take away is A, he's better than Camilla, which would have been that way on a daily basis. And B, the stuff that he has achieved, like you said, is stuff that nobody else has ever even fathomed achieving. And I mean, with the border, with immigration, with... Scott Miller: I'm sure they're all offended. Greg Fink: the transgender issue being forced in schools and and federal funding of all the different programs that have never been cut and no Republican or Democrat has touched it to the plate to cut them in the last 30 or 40 years. And he's, I mean, you can't take that away. That's a good thing. Scott Miller: I think it is. Trump do all sorts of things, but this not the thing that the Democrats, it really just speaks, yet another demonstration of desperation to find ⁓ anything that they can use will actually have real impact, but this is not it. ⁓ Greg Fink: ⁓ Yeah, because I mean this just shows that he's an arrogant boastful guy which memo we all knew that. Ever watch The Apprentice? Scott Miller: We absolutely, no, I know. I mean, and for the same reason that all these evangelicals supported him in spite of the way that he's conducted his life is the same reason that they're not gonna care about this. I mean, they will be offended. They will wish that he had not done it. And they may take him to task for it for a while. But as far as, you know, and not supporting him. Anyone that doesn't support Trump over this wasn't going to support him to begin with. Greg Fink: I do disagree with the people who are defending it saying that, you know, that he really meant something else and the Kool-Aid drinkers. I'm not really on board with anybody defending it. However, I'm also agreeing with you that it's not the end all end it because I mean, it's just I mean, the issue that he put out there at Sacrilegious and Blasphemous as it looked like is nothing different than him running casinos and bars and boxing matches and gambling and all the different women issues. mean, Everything he's done over his 80 almost 80 years of life. I mean has been a very, you know, he's lived a very charmed happy hedonistic life I mean he isn't you know, he didn't say he is a boy scout. He didn't say he was a science school teacher Well, he did say it was he wants to put America first make sure American citizens American Workers are treated fairly and that's what he said and that's what he's doing He didn't say he's gonna be teaching in the Bible Okay Scott Miller: Thank and know what? That's just just more proof that we should we shouldn't be taking our moral ⁓ cues celebrities any celebrity even conservative Greg Fink: Exactly. Yes, I agree. You should take your moral cue from your moral code driven by the higher being that you ⁓ in or the Bible. Exactly. mean, I'm a Bible guy myself, but you know, so are you. I mean, I'm King James all the way or NIV, but you know, that's just me. And so, you get over it, guys. I mean, we got a lot more things to worry about. We got gas to worry about and ⁓ and And I think you were talking earlier today. ⁓ Scott Miller: He should take your moral cues from the Bible, but... Yeah. Yeah. Greg Fink: for the show about becoming a lot more secure. You said Tim Poole was saying that in a podcast for oil. Scott Miller: Yeah, Tim Poole. I think it was several days ago that he talked about this. And what he was talking about is just how Trump, Trump has done is actually a lot more genius than even his most charitable critics ⁓ are him for. Because when you look at he's done holistically, if you don't just look at Iran and you look at the whole thing, what he's done is he's secured secured one of the, the largest supply of oil in the world between the Permian Basin in the United States and, what's Venezuela. We now are the leading of, of petroleum products. Now are 250 supertankers heading right now ⁓ into the Gulf of or I'm sorry, the Gulf of America to, to load up and start bringing the world their oil again. frankly, I think as soon as those tankers start getting full and coming back in, know, start heading back to their refineries, that's when we're going to start to see oil prices coming down. But regardless of what happens with oil prices, this is an entire realignment. Now, you know, a couple of years ago, you know, and it was very under reported. I don't know why. Well, probably because it happened under Biden. Saudis ended treaty. We had an with that they would conduct all of their oil business in dollars. And that gave America very powerful economic position worldwide, the petrodollar. Well, now when they abandoned that, people were like wondering, ⁓ God, any moment something terrible could happen and we'd be screwed. Well, Trump just took care of that because now we're not going to have that problem with the petrodollar because we now again control the world energy reserves. So in a ⁓ better place. And we money on it. When these are conducted in ⁓ dollars, then strength of dollar goes up and then we make money. So think what you will, but for a long ago I ⁓ was wondering what would happen all this green energy technology you really came into its own and became a thing. What would the Middle East do? Well, guess what? We've done the next best thing. of making their energy product irrelevant, we've made their energy supply irrelevant because we are now the oil supplier in the world. And even if we don't get the regime change that we do hope we get, it's not going to matter. What he has done is more Greg Fink: Hahaha. Exactly. Scott Miller: than worth it. Iran is now irrelevant and the entire northern and southern American continents are suddenly the most relevant places in the world for energy. And we've got all of the different resources that we're going to need. China longer has their access to discount oil anymore. And frankly, ⁓ once accomplish, destroy everything we can ⁓ destroy It's not going to be very, still not going to be very relevant because, you know, because it's first is going to take him years to redevelop all that infrastructure. And number two, if we stop sanctioning them, then they're going to have to sell it, sell that stuff on, you know, ⁓ market prices instead of discount prices. And so now China is going to be out, out again. Greg Fink: Right. Scott Miller: And so, and we've got rare, you know, rare earth metals have been discovered up in Canada. And we have relations for that too. Because while Eastern Canada doesn't like us very much, Western Canada is doing everything they can to become American territories. Greg Fink: Yep. Yeah. And so, Scott Miller: there's plenty available to us in Greenland, too. Greg Fink: Yeah. Well, I'm, yeah, I think it's a great thing that America is finally securing that. I think the biggest thing here is that people are understanding that and the people out there, the voters, the regular Joe doesn't know anything about what's going on. The media is not talking about anything. It goes back to the media bias we're talking about. It doesn't satisfy the clickbait need of fundraising against Donald Trump. It only satisfies their clickbait if it was something like, you know, tragic happening and And they still want to put in there anything positive for America I mean it's once again poo poo on America day for the media and the Democrat Party the only rival and only life whenever so putting America last instead of paying America first which you know is the entire opposite idea of You know what we're trying to do here through ⁓ Trump and the Republican Party. Hopefully the Democrats are coming on board I mean, we got Fetterman and a few other Democrats who are coming on board to where they actually do want to put the American citizens all the ⁓ legal immigrants and everything here first. And that's great. I appreciate that. Scott Miller: What you're noticing, and I think you mentioned this to me today maybe or maybe with someone else, but I think it was you. It was talking about how the people losing the primaries right now are the woke Democrats. Greg Fink: Yeah. Right. Scott Miller: You know, the MAGA Republicans are able to hold their seats or hold their primaries and the woke Democrats, the ones that have been, the ones espousing all of this craziness are the ones that are getting primaried and losing. And I hate to tell you, but unknown names like that don't do well in general elections. I mean, you can kind of silo it pretty well in a primary, but in a general election, that's a whole different animal. Greg Fink: Right. No they don't. As we'll put on realize that's one thing I think the context that we bring to the table here is that the elections from the back end like have the the primary apparatus and primary polling is totally different than general outreach and general election polling. And I mean I know that the other people out there know this in our industry. just that the fact that they don't want to say that because it might hurt their their position is just Reality here is that there's people that specialize really good in primaries just specialized really good in generals now with our polling that we've done in the past our is pretty much spotless for both. However, when they compare our polling to other pollsters out there and the primary cycle, it doesn't it's not even close. I mean, I mean, it's a special niche in order to survey people Scott Miller: And I think that's very important I think that's just a set line. Greg Fink: might or might not show up for general elections because there's a whole different psychology that people don't realize. Voters who turn out for primaries only, not generals. so, and majority of time they do both, but a lot of times they don't. A lot of times the primary is their general election, so they don't have to turn out for the general. And so whenever you're in counties which are predominantly one party or the other, the general election is basically, know, you know, ⁓ a coordination of a down ballot apparatus action from know, the the top line of the of the that's here You know some states as a governor seat or some states as a US Senate or a presidential seat Then they're just you know probably with our eyes closed on everything else or whoever's left and cuz their general elections at the primary and that's one thing if people don't realize and That's what they I'm looking at this new poll here right now as we're talking about this new Florida poll Scott Miller: It's coronation. Greg Fink: done by Christian Overt and his company against edge communications. Don't laugh, don't snicker. He did say it was likely voters and who knows, it might be. However, according to his likely voters, either response rate, 46 % in Florida were Democrat, 45 % in Florida were Republican, and 8 % in Florida were undecided. That's not even weighted anywhere near properly. Scott Miller: I'm be talking ⁓ Greg Fink: Granted, yes, Democrats do have actually a higher turnout than people realize in Florida, not more than Republicans. mean, it's a geographically, you know, it's basically a very close state because we have a lot of new Republican voters who haven't voted yet. However, if you do look at likely voters, Republicans still do have a slight lead over Democrats. And the fact that Democrats were... This is a pool that has Byron Donalds who has over 40-50 million dollars easily between himself and his packs. Scott Miller: Yes, I know what Christian Overton is saying, the Republicans are going to lose this time and the state's turning purple and we're going to be able to win because they're terrible. Whatever. Greg Fink: Yes, exactly. It's just ridiculous. mean, you know, it's, you know. Scott Miller: I could have just told you those poll results he ever even ran the poll because he's not interested in accurate polling. Greg Fink: But. But he did do 1,834 likely voters. Scott Miller: Well, let me see the script because there's a pretty solid chance that his ⁓ voters self-identified. Greg Fink: might have. It doesn't say here if they did or not. But it's interesting. ⁓ says here the number one issue, I guess, ⁓ corruption. Scott Miller: Mm-hmm. See, again, this is an example of a pollster creating a narrative. Because if they were worried about corruption, then they'd be pointing their fingers straight at the Democrats. This is him coming to a red state trying to create corruption as a red state issue. And it is a red state concern, it's just not a red state cause thing. Now, to be fair, I'm not suggesting that there's not corruption in all 50 states. Greg Fink: Yeah, that's interesting. Yeah. Scott Miller: at all levels of government, there absolutely is. But not the glaring way that we've seen with the Democrats in Minnesota and California. Greg Fink: Yeah. So I mean, I'm reading this poll here right now. Could I just got a sense of me here? And it's just, loaded. I mean, it's a good poll for, I'm sure whoever paid for it. I'm sure they got exactly the information that they wanted out of it. So that's good. But. ⁓ Scott Miller: ⁓ I'm sure. Well, mean, I'm sure that what they got out of it was good message testing. ⁓ mean, that's what a poll like that's made for. I mean, they want to see what the public's reaction is going to be on inside the study. And then they want to see what the general media reaction is going to be and how much ⁓ response get off of social media and stuff for. Greg Fink: Yeah, I'm sure. Yeah, because the whole thing here, mean, you I get that campaigns are tough and I get that, you know, we're early in the campaign cycle and we have a huge primary, mean, but the reality here is Byron is way ahead in the primary side. And, and that, I mean, the fundraising numbers that just came out the last quarter, I he had 24 million and Jay Collins had 1.7 and Paul Renner had less than a million and Scott Miller: Mm-hmm. Greg Fink: fishback whereby other young people like only raise like 250, 300,000 and everything else is I mean, I mean, it's a huge, huge slaver knocker with a fundraising on that. Scott Miller: I know and and and and every single cycle we have to go through this conversation that oh the the young people are going to turn out there and and the young people like this candidate and they've invigorated the youth and whatever yeah they've that all of those things may be true but get them to show up on election day good luck Greg Fink: I wish it would. Scott Miller: I got the statistics that'll prove what happens on election day because the Florida Division of Elections keeps those records. We get to look at who exactly, who showed up and who didn't show up. by and large, anyone under 30 is, mean, think they have like a 10 % show rate, something like that. Greg Fink: It all depends on if this is university though. Scott Miller: that's a different conversation. ⁓ Greg Fink: No, then we'll get you. Like in Alachua County, I mean, you know, we had a numerous, amount of young adults here. You know, we've talked numerous times on this show, which we need to help their legal or even if they existed, or even if they knew they voted. Vote. Scott Miller: Well, new they voted is probably the big catch right there because, you know, most of the kids that age, you know, they'll go register to vote because they're told, you know, they're supposed to, and they're trying to creep into adulthood. So they want to do things that adults do right up to the point where it's vote because vote, none of them spend any time really learning about what the political issues are. So when it comes to Greg Fink: Yeah. Right. Yeah. Scott Miller: to election day, they're like, I don't know. I don't even know what I'm gonna mark. And so because they're so disconnected, they got no enthusiasm about going. Greg Fink: Right? And so that's reason why the whole county to county transfer issue here in the state of Florida, we had brought that up. Some people in Nashville County brought that up to the people in Tallahassee about it. And they said, there's nothing to see here. It just is the way it is. I'm like, no. I mean, it can't be. mean, yes. OK, sure. The statute might be the way it is. Now it's time for some state reps and state senators to get on the ball and get a statute written that puts a sort of limited adaptation to parameters. Scott Miller: That's ridiculous. Greg Fink: people just transferring at the last minute to vote then transferring back. mean, you know, ⁓ Scott Miller: Which is in itself ridiculous because, you number one, all right, number one, not two number ones, just one number one. If you... Greg Fink: Go ahead. Scott Miller: So. I don't think I'm breaking any kind of news here when I say that young people are a little erratic, let's say. I'm not saying they're irresponsible. Let's just say they're erratic. Yeah. And while you might convince me that you could get 9,000 of them or whatever the number was to same day transfer, you will never convince me that within a week of the election, Greg Fink: a rabbit. Scott Miller: They have the fortitude to go back and undo the transfers and reestablish themselves. I don't care. Not even a substantial portion of them. These are college students. got more, mean, they're not showing up for, you them to show up for election day, you almost have to know, their arm to get them to show up. ⁓ You and drag them out of their bed by afternoon when still haven't shown up. Greg Fink: Not all of them. large portion Yeah, I know. Exactly. Yeah you have. Scott Miller: and, know, and then haul them out of the polling place. How are you going to get them to, you mean I got to, you know, I got to fill up out paperwork to transfer myself back so that the next time ⁓ I'm only committed to voting, can do, I'll be able to do it with no issues? Yeah. Greg Fink: Right. we found out about this, was during the election that had medical marijuana in abortion. So everybody just said, ⁓ well, they're impassioned about those two issues. ⁓ Scott Miller: Lemeth, it's getting dark, let me turn on my light. Greg Fink: Okay. Scott Miller: Well go ahead and talk. Greg Fink: But yeah, and so reality here is that we started doing more research and realizing that these transfers have been happening in other elections that marijuana was not on the ballot and abortion was not on the ballot. They have nothing to do with young students. Personal behavior issues on why they're voting for or against endorse their own behavior. And so this thing has been happening quite a bit. And in fact, it's happening in both parties in both counties, numerous counties throughout the state of Florida. And that's the reason why whenever we brought it up to people who we thought were going to be sympathetic or Republican Party people in Tallahassee, they're like, there's nothing to see here because, you know, there's other Republican guys who are doing the same thing. I mean, the whole reality here is if they think their buddy can get a leg up by getting a whole bunch of people to go ahead and transfer on the last day here to vote for them, they're going to do it. They don't care. And it's a problem. Scott Miller: Thank you. Okay. Greg Fink: mean, it's a definition of election fraud in my opinion. It's with a voter, you know, with identity theft issues and everything else because, you know, there's no verification. they made them all provisional ballots and they verified their address were right, they did everything properly, then that's a whole different story. But it's not the story. Scott Miller: I don't know that they've actually been, know, that Tallahassee actually believes that they're Republican supervisors that are doing the same thing. I think it's that they're afraid that that's the case. Greg Fink: Exactly, I think that's the case. I think they're terrified of the truth. Scott Miller: And I'm not saying that they're not, but I'm telling you last thing ⁓ the division wants to do is rock the boat in that way if they don't have to. Greg Fink: Yeah. You can't handle the truth is kind of. And that's the direction they're going here is that, know, they basically realize that in order to make a change like that and they bring everybody to the table, they're afraid to see what they've already seen and make the change to fix it. ⁓ my gosh, would be monumental, extremely expensive and embarrassing a lot of egg and a lot of faces. Scott Miller: You can't handle the truth, exactly. I don't mean to be a lot of expensive. think we'll save money by doing it. Just sit there and say, number one, if you want to absentee vote, you better have a compelling reason to do it. Yeah, like it used to be. number two, if you can't be responsible enough to get your vote in the mail and on its way before election day, then we're not going to do it. Greg Fink: I should have saved money, yeah. like they used to. But that's an absentee ballot issue though. And I agree. think the biggest thing in an absentee ballot is that you gotta be a voter. And that's what realizing is that my mom, who's dead for five years, is still getting absentee ballots and there's no clarification on that. Scott Miller: Well, I that the absentee ballots is largely the mechanism by which most of this fraud is happening. ⁓ you know, to do other things, ⁓ do other different things that you could possibly do, know, has to physically show up at the polls and represent that they are someone. All right. Greg Fink: Yeah. Scott Miller: But to do that with a, uh, to, to, with the absentee balance, you ain't gonna do none of that crap. You just got, you show up and you dump a tub of, tub of balance in a post office box or whatever. And then, you know, and you know, spread them around to a bunch of different places or whatever you need to do. And then that's how they happen. And no one is the wiser. Period. Greg Fink: Right? Exactly. I mean that's the direction we're going here. Scott Miller: Well, let's put it this way. In Georgia, they found a ton of absentee ballots that had never been folded. How in the hell are you gonna mail an absentee ballot without folding it down to a number 10 envelope size? Yeah, but how did they get it to you? Greg Fink: You don't need to mail it. You just drop it off. They probably drove it there. That's the reason why you have an absentee valve, so can drive it in. Scott Miller: Yeah, because that's what the supervisors of elections do. Rather than burn a 60-cent stamp, they burn $8 worth of gas and God knows how much time. Greg Fink: Yes, I do. Exactly, that's what all absentee voters do. They don't worry about voting absentee, they turn their absentee ballot in. That's... yeah. Scott Miller: So that is one of the most egregious mechanisms by which voter fraud happens. I don't this illegal aliens, there be some, sure there are some registered to vote. I'm sure there's a handful of them that have voted, but that's not the mechanism by this widespread fraud is occurring, period. ⁓ But fixing it, when you it, Greg Fink: Well, yeah. Scott Miller: When you fix that, you fix a lot of the mechanisms by which they commit fraud. So I'm not opposed to the talking point because by fixing it, you are actually fixing the other things, which is why the Democrats are so opposed to fixing it. Greg Fink: ⁓ yeah. Yeah, but I mean on the flip side, I do think the illegal aliens are probably voting without even knowing they're voting. think back to our original thing, I think they're using their IDs. don't think any illegal aliens can be seen enough to say, here, here I am, I'm voting. Come arrest me, come deport me. I don't think that's happening. I think they don't know that they're voting. I that's ⁓ 100 fraud. Scott Miller: Well, yeah. Well, One of the other things, you know, in following this Georgia election review, one of the other things that I found was, you know, the Georgia board, they had a number of people that showed up, you know, testify in front of them who had been summoned because they were ⁓ determined be illegal aliens and they have been, had voting registration at all. And every single them said, I don't know what you're talking about. I have never voted in this country. I've never thought I could vote in this country. And yet here it is. Although I think a lot of, lot of them, certainly the most egregious ones that get that way, get that way through programs like motor voter where, ⁓ ⁓ I think Washington state literally a ballot to every registered voter period. I think Colorado does something similar to Colorado is the hotbed of the most. Greg Fink: Yeah. Right, exactly. That's how happens. Right. Yeah? Scott Miller: egregious, know, elections shenanigans. Greg Fink: right. And so I mean it's a it's gonna be interesting election year. I mean we've had a lot of the primaries already get done. think a Democrat in California just had their primary last night. didn't see or was it the last night or or is it this week or I know know Swalwell was resigning right before the election year so I'm assuming it was on let's take a look here. Scott Miller: was last time, was it? Yeah, but I don't think I've quite had it yet because I've been looking at the news all day and I'm pretty sure that'd be a significant story. Greg Fink: That's Yeah, but I think a significant story here is a swan well left. And Gonzalez. Scott Miller: I understand that, but the election having occurred would be a pretty significant story. Greg Fink: Well, I know, yeah. I'm looking it up right now. So what do you think about Swallow Well leaving and Gonzalo's leaving? Scott Miller: couldn't happen to him pregnant or two nicer guys I mean Gonzalez's case I think was a little weaker but Swalwell's was right on point Greg Fink: Right, their election is on May 18th. Scott Miller: And I'm not saying that Gonzalez shouldn't have gone too, but that one was a little harder for me to wrap my head around. Because, I mean, that was one that I could see was a little maybe pumped up, but still probably, in any case, inappropriate, but I don't know if it rose to the level of getting him expelled or not. But, you know. Greg Fink: Right. What do think about the Sheila McCormick? I guess they're going to be voting. I guess we're to be doing these votes here this week or next week on removing these individuals. so Sheila, think she's got found guilty on all 25 charges of ethics fraud, ethics violations with their FEMA mishandling or stealing rather allegedly a $5 million of COVID relief money. And so I think everybody's ready for it. Scott Miller: I'm sure. Greg Fink: this story and that chapter here there to be over most likely it'll probably be a special election in Broward County down there or. Scott Miller: Well, I think the reason the reason they were trying to get. Well, let's put it this way. I think that I think that the you know, this is a great illustration of why we said at the very beginning that this sort of program was was going to be right for abuse. It was literally a blank as it was going on. I mean, conversation around people was like, yeah, just go ahead and do it. What are they going to do? What are they going to do? Well, apparently that Greg Fink: ⁓ yeah. Scott Miller: What are they going to do attitude extended to Congress? Because, because there's a ton of people, there's a, there are a couple of Republican people that are no longer in office that we know of that were, that were probably guilty of the exact same thing. Um, you know, they just didn't get, uh, it didn't get caught, but you know, right. Well, not yet, but. Greg Fink: Right. Right. Not yet. Because there's also that PPP money out there that people need to start investigating here on who got all the PPP fraud, which dovetails into the whole COVID thing. Scott Miller: Well, I'm including all of those programs. You anytime you create money giveaways, you are basically begging for fraud. that's exactly I mean, look at California and Minnesota. those products, know, actually programs that people can kind of get behind. But unfortunately, yeah, well, the thing is, is that, you know, people get behind the program. But when it's supervised, then Greg Fink: Yeah. Yeah, Minnesota is a small state. Scott Miller: Of course it's going to get ripped off. ⁓ is fraud committed when people think they're watching like a hawk. You know, ⁓ you take the supervisory attitude that California and Minnesota have had, it's that it didn't consume the entire budget. Greg Fink: Exactly. It's very true. And so you think they're going to raise X-Bow or Sheila this week or next week? Scott Miller: ⁓ yeah, absolutely. Yeah, she'll be, she's minute, there's people on both sides publicly, publicly calling for to be gone. When that happens, not going to be a party. I would imagine it'll be fairly like probably 90%. Like a 90-10 issue. ⁓ Greg Fink: Yeah, now the question is, because we both live in Florida here, will DeSantis do a special election for that seat with the primary coming up in August already? Or is gonna? Scott Miller: It's been a while since I looked at the statues, but I think if she has, well, not 50 % of her, there's less than 50 % of her ⁓ left. But yeah, ⁓ think it may be more discretionary with Congress. But I don't know, like I said, it's been a long time since I looked at that statue, that Florida statue. Because ⁓ really haven't had a race where that impacted a while. Greg Fink: Yeah, well, it's different for it's different for Congress. Yeah, I think it's gonna be. Yeah, exactly. I also we haven't had an issue here to where somebody drops out this close to the election primary. But then, you and I talked to you yesterday about the razor thin margin in the House. don't think the Democrats really would be happy with leaving a seat open or Republicans, if they lose anybody else, would be happy. And so I think, you know, a special election will be incumbent upon the governor of the state to make sure the people's houses act acting as a people's house. Scott Miller: We'll wait and see how fast Gavin Newsom schedules an election for Smallwell. I'm surprised he hasn't already done it. Greg Fink: ⁓ yeah, I'm sure we very quickly, very quickly. Yeah. And so, mean, it's been an interesting week. And we also have Corey Mills out there. And so there's a lot of investigations about Corey Mills and his issue is a lot more confusing and weird. Scott Miller: Yeah, his is a lot, his is a lot funnier. There's a lot more he said, she said there, there's, there's no criminal investigation that I'm aware of. Although one that any day now, or maybe one's just popped up on that notice, but, any, uh, any day, but I suspect that it's going to take a lot longer for his to develop before, before anyone would be compelled to get him out of there. So I think that Corey Mills, you know, unless they, unless they find some Greg Fink: It is. Scott Miller: very compelling evidence is going to be able to at least complete his term. Now, whether or not he can read up, I can't say, but he'll be able to complete his term, I believe. Greg Fink: Right. And also where he's at in Congress, mean, whether I mean him and Sheila are both in very solidly districts of their party. And so it's not like the Republicans are going to lose a seat if he goes or or the Democrats are not going to lose a seat if Sheila goes or stays the way the party lines are drawn right now. Now, however, redistricting Florida, you know, ⁓ you're going to be red for Cory seat. Sheila's seat might be more purple-ish. ⁓ reddish, more purplish blue. I don't think it's gonna go all the way to red yet because it has a lot of Broward County in it and what's Palm Beach area in Palm Beach County. But it'll be interesting because I mean, you know, that's the way the Tallahassee legislature and the governor are joining the districts to be very interesting. Scott Miller: Well, allegations of sexual impropriety Republicans tend to be less to Republicans ⁓ because Democrats have spent decades making much about nothing with all sorts of people. Greg Fink: Right. Scott Miller: while at the same time, completely exonerating and ignoring their own people. So Republican primary voters, it's not going to matter. And frankly, a lot of the Democrat rank and file, you know, have grown tired of that talking point as well. ⁓ I think that's as effective as fraud. think fraud is kind of something that is new and a very Greg Fink: Yeah. Right. Scott Miller: button topic at this point, Minnesota and California, that has turned it into a more relevant topic for all parties because Democrats and Republicans both ⁓ not like ripping people, especially in social programs. Remember, these are all social programs ⁓ that the heavily, the rank and file Democrats heavily support. So fraud within those things is going to be devastating. Greg Fink: Here they are. Scott Miller: I think for any Democrat candidate, it's going to be particularly devastating. Republican with those kind of allegations won't make it through a primary. Greg Fink: No, Republicans are much more stringent on that, on that topic and that issue. Now, voters, now you say fraud is a big issue that people are talking about. However, once you start talking about this and this goes on YouTube and the algorithms, the algorithms do not like to talk about fraud at all. And so you guys want to share that part out, that'd be wonderful because otherwise it's going to be suppressed by the wonderful YouTubers algorithm the Facebooks and all the social media. They don't like to hear us talk about Scott Miller: On that issue, Republican voters are, yeah. Greg Fink: election integrity, that's a horrible thing. Or voter fraud, that never happens. That's all fake news, fake news, fake news. I'm like, goodness. Scott Miller: know, algorithms hate that, it is a fact of life. So please, please, if you get a short that has this in it, share it. Share it all you can. Greg Fink: I hate the truth. Yeah, of the fact that I would dare any way to prove me that's not. Okay. mean, we have sat there. I think you and I have been through more campaigns that were settled by 50 votes or less. ⁓ consultant team I've met that's walking this earth probably. I mean, ⁓ Scott Miller: Yeah, we the first person witnesses to that, plenty of times. Greg Fink: I I could smell a close race. mean, there was a race in city of Alachua yesterday because they had a of the municipal races throughout Florida here. the Republicans just did not turn out one bit whatsoever. And this is an incumbent, Republican incumbent, it's a nonpartisan race. so the Republican incumbent who's been there for like six to eight years, she lost almost two to one by the decided voters here, the Democrats. And that's... Scott Miller: Mm. Greg Fink: I mean, it's not a very Democrat leaning city. it's ⁓ a, I mean, it's a city. It's a city of Eladro. It's a little municipality. It's a very rural conservative municipality. The Democrats have been pulling out gains here in the last two cycles. And I think the last cycle, two years ago, they found 14 or 15 fraudulent voters. And granted that the split here was a lot more, but was, it's just interesting how. Scott Miller: County, yeah. That was a municipality, right? Yeah. Yeah. What? Greg Fink: The times are, looks like they're all turning toward the Democrats, but at the same time, the voter fraud that we're talking about, that everybody doesn't want to talk about, is continuing happening because nobody is prosecuting any of it. They all just keep thinking we're hoaxsters, we're jokesters, and it's all BS. Scott Miller: Well, yeah. Well, I've said a number of times, you're not going to get these people to do this strictly on the law. It's going to take a significant public relations campaign to embarrass these people into doing this. fairly I would love to get digital of every single transfer sheet. Greg Fink: Yeah, they're kids I have to lose. Scott Miller: for every county in the states. Every single county that did same day transfers, I wanna see their sheets. And I suspect that would be a very enlightening public records request. Greg Fink: Right. Exactly. mean, ask Jasmine Crockett. She thinks that she was defrauded in Texas to Toreco. And I mean, there's other people. Scott Miller: Yeah! Yeah, apparently Jasmine Crockett believes in voter fraud. Greg Fink: Who's that lady who ran for Senate in Georgia? She's a, she got a lot of money. African American Democrat lady, Ceci Abrams. She also said she was a victim of voter fraud as well. Hillary, yeah, Hillary was a victim of voter fraud. ⁓ said the election was stolen. I mean, Biden said the election was stolen whenever he didn't get to be the presidential nominee in a way. He said he was robbed. Scott Miller: Stacey Abrams? ⁓ yes, ⁓ yes. I think she was running for governor though, I think. Yeah, yeah. Greg Fink: I mean, thing is, it's not that if you're robbed or not, it's just you don't talk about it unless it happens to you. And the people who know it mean, guys, this is reality, okay? And when you seeing gains like this, a one party in areas that that party is not dominant, you gotta start scratching your head and looking around and like saying, why is no, I mean, Scott Miller: Yeah. Greg Fink: And granted, maybe Trump's big issue in 2020 was saying it was fraud. Maybe he went overboard to where there's a diminishing returns where he took a lot of the credibility of what we're seeing out of it. I don't know. He did put a big microscope on it. Now, nobody wants to look at it because they say, well, nothing was found guilty there. Nothing was found. Doesn't mean nothing wasn't there. It just means that nobody did the due diligence and all the steps to do it. I mean, it's not an easy glaring thing. You have to actually track the voters and track vital statistics and track e-verify. Actually, I'm to crack myself. It is actually a pretty easy thing. Why nobody is doing those things in the election office? Why they're not cross-referencing with dead voters and dead people on the vital statistics of each state, of each state has organized, why they're not communicating with the SOEs of each state, and then why each state is not e-verifying? Well, I know why, because the blue states, they want to legally support. Scott Miller: I'm going Greg Fink: won it that way. mean, otherwise they would have given their records over whenever people requested it very rapidly, but they desire the cheating. They love it. They write and ⁓ bathe in it. Exactly. They need it for all their funded programs and everything that are bridges to nowhere. I they need it. Scott Miller: Well, they need it for their survival. about bridges to nowhere, but in order to keep their social programs going, you know, they have to have, you know, they have to have someone that is sympathetic with with funding those programs. And they also need someone that's sympathetic with having a non governmental organization, you know, being the recipient and managing the distribution of those dollars for them. Because when they have those two things, then they're able they're able to redirect funding back to themselves, you know, So I mean, it goes through a couple of hops for money laundering purposes, they do do it. Greg Fink: Right. And what's a better recipient than a voter that does not exist? What's a better guy to work with? You can't disappoint them. If these voters aren't real, then there's no disappointment and you're making everybody happy. You're ringing the cash register and it all works good for everybody. Scott Miller: Yeah. Yeah. Sorry. Anyway. Yeah. Greg Fink: Anyway, enough of that horse being beaten to death. Actually, not to death, but just the beginning of the beating. But that being said, anything else going on today? Scott Miller: No, don't know. And frankly, my battery is getting down to 20%. So it may be time to wrap this episode up it says 20%. But we all know that when he hits 20, 20 twice as fast as that first 40 does or first 80 does. Greg Fink: I guess it's 20 gets a 10 pretty quick. Okay, well you have a good evening Scott here and enjoy the weather where you're at in Panama City. looks like in coastline of Florida. Scott Miller: pretty quickly. in the wonderful coast of Florida, millions live or thousands live or millions wish they could. Greg Fink: It's a beautiful area down here. wish you could come Florida. I'll live here. And find us on our social media platform of your choice and we'll see y'all later. Scott Miller: End it. End it. See you later.
