t voter fraud is exceedingly rare. Did they? Or did they simply find that they didn't find it? All they know is that they didn't find it. There are lots of things which exist which I can't find. Does gold exist? I think gold exists. I looked in my backyard and I didn't find any. So does gold not exist? Because I looked in my whole backyard and I don't think there was any gold back there. So every…

Here's another dog that isn't barking. So now for it's been over a day that the Sidney Powell accusations have been out, the Kraken if you will. Lots and lots of claims in I guess two different lawsuits and plenty of claims. Now I've seen lots of stories about the typos. I've seen lots of stories talking about the people, you know, Sidney Powell this or that. Have you seen any mainstream media entity go through the accusations and attempt to debunk them or attempt to confirm them? Shouldn't that be a really big story? Isn't that kind of important to know? Are those real?
Now when I was doing my humorous impression of the reporters looking at that Kraken document with all those claims, they're journalists. What are they going to do? They can't judge any of those claims. They don't have the skills. And suppose they went and found an expert to help them to give some quotes and judge the claims in the lawsuit. How do you find that expert? Who is it who has looked at those very claims? I don't know. Could you even find one?
So you have this gigantic story that by its nature the mainstream media just has to look at it and go, I don't know what to do with this. I can't talk about it because I don't really understand all these claims. And I can't really find anybody that I would trust to give me an opinion because there are no such things as nonpartisan analysts. Doesn't exist. There are no nonpartisans in this country. What's the journalist to do? I think they just say, "Hey, it's not widespread. It's not baseless. Let's go to lunch," right?
So the fact that you're not seeing anybody go down the list and try to debunk it or not debunk it, that should tell you a little bit.
I had to look up the word baseless because it keeps being used. Merriam-Webster says that baseless is defined as quote having no basis in reason or fact. Do Sidney Powell's allegations in the lawsuit, do they have no basis in reason or fact? Well,

there are claims and I would say that those claims, you could make a strong argument that they don't become fact in a way that matters until they go through the court and the court says there are facts. So could you say that the facts have not been established? I think that's fair. I think it's fair to say that the facts are alleged but they're not established by a credible entity such as a court.…
