>> In the immediate aftermath of the 2020 election, we now know Donald Trump and
his team hired a group of outside experts to research the election results in six
different states to try to find literally any voter fraud.
Anything they could find, and since this is the first time you're probably hearing
about this, what do you think they found?
Amazing evidence?
Maybe not so much, let's get into what actually happened.
The group is the Berkeley Research Group,
they were hired to study the 2020 election results in six different states.
And they were given a very wide purview of things to look into,
including voter machine malfunctions, instances of dead people voting,
any evidence that could help Trump show you one literally almost anything.
None of the findings were presented to the public,
none of them were used in the literally dozens of court cases that Donald Trump
was involved in in the two to three months following the 2020 election.
According to the four different sources that were cited by the Washington post of
this reporting.
They looked at everything, change of address, illegal immigrants,
ballot harvesting, people voting twice, machines being tampered with,
ballots that were sent to vacant addresses that were returned and voted.
Quote, literally anything you could think of voter turnout anomalies,
date of birth anomalies whether dead people voted.
If there was anything under the sun that could be thought of, they looked at it.
And the findings were of course, as you can probably tell by now,
not with Trump camp was actually looking for.
The researchers do believe that there were some voting anomalies and
unusual data patterns in a few states,
along with some instances in which laws may have been skirted.
But they didn't believe the anomalies were significant enough to make a difference in
who won the election.
In literally any of these places,
let alone the many simultaneous places that would have had a change for
Donald Trump to have been declared the winner of the 2020 election.
And so of the more than a dozen hypotheses that they tested
nothing significant was found.
Now, there's some added drums, they're gonna develop from that, but Francesca,
what do you think about the results?
>> Yeah, Homie had the weight of the entire Justice Department
on his side to do the investigating.
You guys, one of my favorite tidbits from the January 6th committee hearings was
the fact that you had attorneys, generals and all of their minions in the DOJ.
They were all really being sent YouTube videos from random Trump lackeys
going like well, I guess we have to figure out what Italy gate is now.
And they were doing it, they were to imagine you just dream up a conspiracy,
you know what, get on the lizard people wanna bet we're gonna find out Trump did
send the DOJ to investigate lizard people.
They're like, my God, but also bill bars ahead of it.
So that's sort of weird cuz it's like a conflict of interest,
cuz he is an actual iguana.
So what I'm saying is I love that they had to go to a third party and another person.
You guys remember cyber ninjas,
that was another group that was in Arizona that was- right?
Super, not as cool, probably because they did their ninja and
guess what they found out that Joe Biden won by even more votes [LAUGH] so yes,
of course this is why we're hearing about it now, we're going to hear more things.
I'm sure there's more people who were paid money to do this.
>> Yeah, I think that the Trump team made a couple of classic mistakes.
So they relied on ninjas which I think we can all agree are a shady bunch,
I wouldn't have relied on them, and then-he relied on them, that's true.
They come at the election fraud one at a time, anyway and then he
turned to academics to look into it, I mean they're all bought off by sorrow.
So what did you expect Trump, but anyway, in the end senior researchers
from Berkeley Research Group had to present the findings and they did so
on a phone call and I wanna be very clear.
This did not just have people like Mark Meadows and others the aides,
Donald Trump was on this phone call and
that is very important going forward in ways that we will discuss.
So they discussed what they found, Meadows showed skepticism of the findings and
continue to maintain that Trump won.
Always the sign of intellectual honesty and
an open curious mind when you hire experts to conduct vigorous research and
it does absolutely nothing to change your opinion.
So that was Meadows, Trump also continued to say he won the election.
The call grew contentious they say, and
I bet it did [LAUGH] I bet there was some elevated voices.
I bet there might have been a few f bombs coming from Trump, and coming out of it,
of course, what is important to know is that it did nothing to
change the statements they were making about election fraud.
Not only did they not modify the arguments they were making,
they never even acknowledged publicly that this research project had gone on,
which I think is the single most damning thing about this.
It would be one thing if he were to mention it and
then say that their failures, and their ratings are bad, so don't listen to them.
But they buried the evidence of it for more than two years at this point
going on 2.5 years, and they continue to lie about everything and
everybody was reached out to for comment on this.
And of course Donald Trump isn't saying anything,
Mark Meadows isn't saying anything.
But they did have a spokesperson Steven Cheung spokesperson for Trump said,
President Trump received a record breaking 74 million votes.
Well, record breaking except for the one other one, anyway,
the most of any sitting President in the history of the country.
You mean then temporarily sitting President, right?
Because he wasn't President a couple months, anyone who takes a look at
Joe Biden glitching through his presidency knows who really won the election.
>> Glitching.
>> I don't even know what that's supposed to mean,
it's probably a lizard person- you know what it means?
>> He's a hologram, queue told us in the queue drop 7,530.
>> [LAUGH] that was a good one.
>> It was that was a really good one.
>> But anyway, here's why one last thing about why I think this is important,
because what we've discovered as a nation, I don't know,
maybe people who follow a lot of true crime already knew this.
Well, we've discovered as a nation when it comes to things like the insurrection,
when it comes to things like the document scandal.
Simply breaking the law irrelevant, it doesn't matter at all, it's all about
your mind, your frame of mind, your state of mind, your motivations and all that.
And the only way we can get you for obviously indisputably breaking the law is
if we prove that you knew that what you were doing was based on fabrications.
Well, I think there was already robust evidence to prove that.
But now we know that before the insurrection he had commissioned and
gotten the results of a comprehensive research project that looked into these
claims and told him in no uncertain words, the election wasn't stolen.
So this is one more thing to log into,
what did he actually know about the claims he was making?
Maybe this will make some kind of difference when it comes to Jack Smith.
>> It's very interesting to me that the right thinks that Liberals,
Democrats, the left, socialists, that they're all fragile and
that they need safe spaces and their fifi get hurt and this and that.
And yet they cannot take a hard look at reality and
they base their entire worldview on, I feel like he won, but
I feel like the eagles won last night in the Super Bowl.
Yeah, that's cute, you can feel any way you want, but they didn't,
and so their entire political movement is based on their gut, well,
my gut says, no, sorry, I mean gut health very important.
But Kombucha cannot find you 11,000 votes in Georgia.
>> No, it would have to be a very potent brew to accomplish that.
Anyway, so we'll see if this way is any of the Trump supporters,
I'm gonna guess, no, cuz again, Fife eyes need to be respected, okay?
I do think that it's important for people to look after their mental health.
Of course, they would say that it isn't and that is as Francesca says,
a sign of being weak, or having a bad constitution or something like that.
But it is interesting how much work they do to weed out and
avoid inconvenient facts to maintain their mental well being.
