President Trump is heading to
Georgia today to campaign ahead
of the crucial Senate, runoff
Jedediah. Meanwhile Fulton
County resetter it tied its
results after officials rejected
claims of fraud stemming from
surveillance, video that appeared
to show illegal ballot, counting
without supervisors.
Pete here now to discuss Fox
NEWS contributor, Dr Bill
Bennett, the honorable Bill
Bennett. Thank you very much, sir,
for joining us this morning,
giving us a little bit of your
time.
You bet
PETE whats, your take Georgia
and the presidents legal team
pressing in multiple states, but
specifically youve got this
video in Georgia, which
theres a lot of questions about
well. First, the presidents
visit very important, very
important that he emphasize the
election coming up in
January. He can acknowledge the
problems with the November
election, but focus on the
January election and how
crucial it is and he gets his
full and whole hearted support
to Kelly, Loeffler and Purdue and
encourages everyone to go out
and vote whatever they may think
is wrong with November, but in
regard to November I remain a
skeptic im not going to be
singing this tune for four years.
I dont want to sound
like a Democrat and never never
give up, but I
believe this election was fixed
was controlled by a lot of
democratic operatives, and you
know a couple simple questions,
one apart from the episodic
events, so the very persuasive
woman you had on from Wayne
County. I think Detroit
talking about being bullied into
putting someone in the Democrat
column,
im interested in systematic
corruption. Here that took place
there are just too many
statistical anomalies.
If you look at the probabilities
here, the votes are coming in
Trump is leading, then it kind
of evens out and then some
tranches come in, and I
think this is in disputable in
the middle of the night, where
the vote is. Ninety five for Biden, five or
ten for Trump, this just doesnt-
make sense mathematically or in
terms of the world as we know it
and hads. Are we to believe that
in these inner city
neighborhoods that Joe Biden out
performed Barack Obama in
terms of percentage of the vote
more popular with the inner city
than Barack Obama, when we know
that Donald Trump made
tremendous gains in the inner
city vote? But then just a simple
question:
if everything is fine in Fulton
County, why do you need to have a
black cloth covering these
ballots?
A black cloth? You cant see
through
doesnt. That seem a little odd,
a little unusual.
Why do you have to tell people
to leave and then remove the
black cloth?
Im? Sorry, I know these official
s have said everything
is fine, dont, look there. You
know who are you going to
believe me or your own eyes,
im going to believe my own eyes
and weve heard enough by public
officials over the last six
months? You know about this
danger and that danger and
relax everything is fine and
then a change of direction.
Im! Sorry, im! Not buying it
lets, let the process play out,
and I know Jedediah is happy
with the courts findings and
wants this thing to end.
We all want it to end
last point. This is a divided
country, a very divided country.
If were going to get this thing
resolved and resolved to most
peoples, satisfaction, I dont
think its ever going to be to
Everybodys youve got to let
this thing play out all the way.
Through
final final point,
I want to look into those
machines.
I want to look into that
dominion voting machine. They
have resisted anyone looking
into it on grounds that its
proprietary,
I think, theres a problem there
Jedediah Bill quickly. Just
because you referenced me and Dh
S looked into those
dominion machines which
were in twenty eight states, some of which
the President won. But you know
I think, a lot of people. I dont
think its a rush to want it to
end.
I think people are just
objectively myself included,
looking at the court cases
evaluating them being honest
about whats, being alleged in
court versus whats, being
alleged on social media, listen
ing to secretaries of
state. Republicans that are in
many of these localities that
are am coming out, saying, Listen
were looking at hour upon hour
of video, and this is whats
happening, and this is why its
happening
Trump appointed judges. This just
doesnt seem to be a big left
wing conspiracy and you have
many republican officials on
record, including many members of
trumps legal team in court who
are not alleging these things,
let alone proving them. So I
think its just a factual
assessment of whats going on
if theres more evidence lets
see it. But as of now, we have
not seen enough evidence to say
that this election has been
stolen.
Im. Sorry, I dont agree.
Theres circumstantial evidence,
a lot of circumstantial evidence
and you can take it to court and
were not done yet. But you know
we went for three years
and the challenges to Donald
trumps election. Can we just go
another month?
Is that okay?
Can we just look at everything
and be as sure as we possibly
can that this thing was fine
but theres, plenty of evidence,
its called statistical evidence,
its called probabilities, its
called anomalies?
Eighteen of twenty bellweather counties
voted for Donald Trump.
These are the counties that
always predict the president, and
yet it didnt happen in this
case.
If you look hard at these facts,
its just hard to ignore the
idea that something went
fundamentally wrong
in terms of a conspiracy on the
left im a lot older than
you are Jedediah, I know the
left.
I used to hang with the left in
college
hate to admit it, but I did
they will do anything because
they think that we are awful. We
are wrong. We are evil, they are
right and they know whats good
for us
will bill. I think many
Americans share your skepticism.
As you pointed out earlier, most
polls suggest most Americans
look at this election, not just
those on the right by the way,
but a significant percentage of
those on the left. Look at this
election and raise their
eyebrows. At the very least
you talk about. Why those
eyebrows are raised?
Your conclusion bill is then
lets. Let the process play out
help me see what process beyond
the legal process. Would you
like to see play out?
You said you dont want to be a
Democrat and let this go on for
four years as well, so
describe the process for me,
please
well a full airing. You know
Justice Brandise said
sunlight is the best
disinfectant lets not sweep
away all of this.
These dominion machines have
been looked at by some people,
but not other people and looked
at by interested parties and by
the proprietors of these
machines, but lets have full
disclosure here.
The court system here is a
problem and ill admit its a
problem.
If you want a case in a court of
law, talk to any serious
litigator, he will tell you. It
takes six months a year a year
and a half to make a case.
These guys, Guilani and others
are under incredible time
pressure, but do what you can and
keep the appeals coming and keep
uncovering whatever evidence
there is, and then, if we get it
settled and nobody can establish
it, I think its already been
established. Then a lot of the
country will go along, but
just keep the process going.
I think if we didnt have so
many people saying that its a
threat to democracy shut it
down, stop get over it. I think
id feel better about it.
Thats the court of public
opinion and public opinion is
crucial here for next couple of
years.
If you want civil peace and
concord youd better, let this
thing play out.
Will there you go Dr Bill
Bennett? Thank you so much for
your time. This morning we
appreciate it
always love having you.
