a massive voter suppression campaign. Now, of course none of this is true, and it's been traced back to Iran. But if you were gonna make up some kind of a BS story to influence somebody's election, you couldn't do better than that. Because first of all, there aren't that many Proud Boys. Second of all, this doesn't sound even a little bit true. Thirdly, the Proud Boys don't do anything like that.…

t if I had not seen the video where there's a very big factory that looks like a big industrial processing plant. So it looks like somebody put some tens or hundreds of millions of dollars into building it. So I got a feeling that somebody saw something that was convincing because they put many millions of dollars into building that thing.

What's the name of the company? I don't think that they have any stock. I would imagine that they're private. But in the story it's called Newlight Technologies, and Newlight is one word. Newlight. And the product they're calling AirCarbon, all one word, AirCarbon.

So who knows? We might see a thousand stories like this, and maybe 990 of them are not real in the end. But I feel like this one might be.

Looking at some of your questions. Somebody's asking me, didn't you predict Biden would pick Kamala because she has a personal connection? Yes, I did. Now, given the Biden laptop story and given that the partner has confirmed it, and I think that's going to hold — you know, sometimes you have to wait 48 hours because everything you hear about a new story turns out to be false and two days later it's obvious. But I don't think we're gonna find out that this Biden partner is lying, because it would be a weird lie, wouldn't it? You know, anybody could lie for any reason. But the way the partner responded to the story and his reason for coming forward and his details, that reads true to me, just completely true.

So I'm expecting that story to hold. And doesn't that take away the negative contention? Wouldn't you say it kind of makes it as if Kamala is the one running for president? And at this point here's what I would expect. If Joe Biden got elected, they would have to start impeachment proceedings on inauguration day, wouldn't they? Now, just do a fact check with me. If the facts hold up that the Biden business partner is telling the right story, and if his version is true that the entire Biden family is basically a criminal organization using Hunter as the rainmaker to give funds that would benefit all of them, if that's true and it certainly looks like it's true, and if Biden somehow got elected anyway, wouldn't you have to start impeachment on inauguration day? Right? Is that an exaggeration?

Now, depending on who's in charge of Congress, your odds of succeeding in impeachment may be close to zero. But I'm wondering if even the Democrats wouldn't impeach him at this point. Imagine you're a Democrat and you get a Biden-Harris ticket and they win. Imagine they win. It could happen. Anything could happen. I'm still predicting Trump will win easily. But imagine they win. What's the first thing you're going to need to

do? You're going to need to impeach your own guy so you can get Kamala in the top spot, because that's what you wanted anyway. And if Joe Biden makes it easy to remove him — and of course he might just say my health is failing, I'm sorry, I didn't realize my health would fail on the day I got inaugurated, but there it is, I'm stepping aside. So he probably wouldn't get impeached. He would probably…
