This may be the most controversial episode of Pol and Pop ever released. In fact, let me start with the following disclaimer:

You know things are getting serious when you have to start out with that! So, in this episode, I present the argument that Donald Trump and his allies stole the 2024 Presidential election. Woody is here as well, providing commentary and additional thoughts throughout. I explain the argument in the context of the elements of criminality: means, motive, and opportunity. I don't get into all the statistical details of voting irregularities and such. Rather, I explain how expert analysis of the votes presents patterns that are very suspicious... and I put together the basic building blocks of the type of case a prosecutor would present for this in court.


We recorded this in the evening of November 21st. At the time of this recording, nothing like this was being discussed in mainstream media (or even if independent media, apparently). Within a few weeks from now, I presume things can only go in one of two ways. One thing that could happen is that the story of a stolen election will explode into the media, beginning a period of lots of recounting, very angry Trump supporters doing their thing, and possibly even a delay in the inauguration while the country gets all the chaos sorted out. The other thing that could happen is that things will proceed onward without any major bombshells of this nature. In the first case, all I can say is-- you heard it here first! In the second case, I felt that this was one heck of an exciting journey into the realm of plausible conspiracy theories... and I hope you found it as compelling and exciting and I did.

Either way, this episode is well worth a listen!
