here he is unsparing in his rejection of trump and giuliani s election fraud delusions. i told them that the stuff that his people were shoveling out to the public was bull [ bleep ]. that the claims of fraud were bull [ bleep ], and you know, made a statement about that, but i reiterated that they wasted a whole month on these claims on the dominion voting machines and they were idiotic claims. i specifically raised a dominion voting machines which i found to be among the most disturbing allegations and disturbing in the sense that i saw absolutely zero basis for the allegations, but they were made in such a sensational way that they obviously were influencing a lot of people, members of the public, that there was this systemic corruption in the system and that their votes didn t count and that these machines controlled by somebody else were actually determining it which was complete nonsense, and it was being laid out there, and i told him that it was that it was stuff
jackie, neal and joyce vance, thank you for starting us off. neal sticks around. up next for us, how rudy giuliani becomes the only inebriated one to actually stumble in and get before trump? how we learned today that he still appears to be peddling all the same, to quote, bill barr, b.s. that s next. barr, b.s. that s next. the lows of bipolar depression can leave you down and in the dark. but what if you could begin to see the signs of hope all around you? what if you could let in the lyte? discover caplyta. caplyta is a once-daily pill, proven to deliver significant relief from bipolar depression. unlike some medicines that only treat bipolar i,
these folks. here, the painting that was portray today was basically manipulating everything to claim a wind that was never ever there. bill barr was actually part of this. he broke the justice department policy that says you don t investigate election fraud allegations before the vote is certified and indeed the elections chief at the justice department resigned over this, ausa, the system prosecutor s voiced a lot of concerns about this and nonetheless, all of this manipulation of reality in 63 different court cases, you know, was enabled both by barr and by giuliani and others, and so i guess, you know, i have still ptsd from the trump presidency. i mean, from 2017 to 20, we had all these kinds of realtime updates on the cray-cray.
