- [Gary] Today from the Global Lane,
electronic vote manipulation.
Most secure election in US history?
- You wouldn't allow your daughter
to just use a basic software package
that they had this lack of security.
- [Gary] Assassinationretaliation delayed.
Is Iran on the brink of a crisis?
- I don't think Iran cansurvive its internal issues.
- Coronavirus vaccine, just days away.
Why these college studentssay they won't take it.
And COVID urns at the White House?
And it's all right hereon the Global Lane.
(dramatic music)
Iran is blaming Israel for assassinating
its top nuclear scientists.
Mohsen Fakhrizadeh was murdered
while traveling with hiswife in a bulletproof car.
Witnesses say they saw an explosion,
followed by a barrage of bullets.
Iranian President Rouhanipledges retaliation.
- [Translator] At the righttime, the relevant officials
will respond to this crime.
- Joining us with more is US Army
retired Lieutenant Colonel Sargis Sangari.
Mr. Sangari was born in Iran,he knows the country well,
and he currently serves as CEO
of the Near East Centerfor a Strategic Engagement.
Sargis, it's good to talk to you again.
So, President Rouhanisays at the right time,
Iran will retaliate,
with the possibility of a newUS President coming in now.
So, how long do you thinkthey'll hold off and why?
- Well, it was good to be here, Gary.
I think they're gonna hold off,
because they really don't knowwhat is happening internally.
Iran's foreign policy has nothing to do
with how US, Europe,
or other nations conducttheir foreign policy.
It is really tied todomestic internal issues
that they're having ahard time grappling with.
If you've noticed since Friday,
when the top nuclearscientist for Iran was killed,
Iran has proposed multiple scenarios
of who may have killed him and why.
And then one of the process,
they have even blamedIsrael for the killing.
And this, they haveactually strengthened Israel
when in the region thatis trying to strike deals
with all the Arab nations are now lined up
to be able to not onlymake peace with Israel,
but have economic deals with Israel.
So internal issues of thefailing of the government
is a reason why we are wherewe are today with Iran.
- Sargis, if in fact this wasIsrael that took this action
against another Iraniannuclear scientists,
was it necessary to dothat in your opinion?
What else could've been done to slow
or prevent Iran developing a nuclear bomb?
- Well, we don't know whohas killed them first of all.
If Israel has killed them,
Israel is showing that it has claws
and it can reach out and touch anyone
to include a imminent in Iran.
The issue here is that ifIran saying that Israel did it
then Iran cannot evenprotect it's own borders,
it's own people internal to its own state.
This is internal issues thatare being faced in Iran.
Iran has painted itself intoa corner where the hardliners
do not know how to be able to work
with the international community.
The problem here is that
you have multiple differentfractions within Iran.
You have their revolutionaryguards or hardliners.
You've got to standing army
that is in charge ofthe border securities.
You have multiple intelligenceservices in Iran themselves,
and then you also at the same time
have the hardlinerpresident with his cabinet
and also the laws thathave made it very difficult
for anyone who's not a hardliner
to be able to run innext year's elections.
This is what has causedthe problems in Iran
where are these 80 millionpeople that live in Iran
are now hanging on a thread,
hoping to see what the possible outcome
of the US election might be.
Even in that capacity,
I don't think Iran cansurvive it's internal issues.
- If he is sworn in as our 46th president,
how likely is it that Joe Biden
will try to rejoin the Iran nuclear deal,
the joint comprehensive plan of action.
- I think it would be very difficult.
Iran is not just bankrupt.
Its internal economy has collapsed
and this process as it's tryingto strike deals to possibly
but the hardliners sellingIran to China for $400 billion.
It is very difficult for us to see
what the possible outcome would be
with a Biden administration,
which Iran knows might be
nothing more than atwo year administration
given our governmentchanges every two years,
at least on the house of representatives.
- Okay, on another challenge for Biden,
lying ahead right next doorto Iran is Afghanistan.
Do you think there should be a ceasefire
between the government ofAfghanistan and the Taliban
before peace talks continue?
Also in your opinion, what needs to happen
before all US troops are returned home?
- Well, United Statescan leave Afghanistan
as easily as it entered Afghanistan.
However, with that said,
it can never be separate from Afghanistan.
Afghanistan has three major players in it.
One is the ties that ithas historically with Iran.
And these are historical ties.
Dari is actually thelanguage that was spoken
in the courts of the King Darius
which Afghanistan waspart of the Iran landscape
historically while it was an empire.
So that relationshiphas always been there.
The language is still there being used.
The other tie is to China.
China has invested heavily,
especially in the miningfields of Afghanistan.
And China has had thathistorical relationship
when it comes to the silkroad that it uses Afghanistan
for the land piece of thebelt and road initiative.
And then of course it tiesthat started in Afghanistan
once the Soviet Union invaded.
So we can leave Afghanistan,
but we can never leave Afghanistan
when it comes to the politicalneed of staying there.
If you turn it over to China,
China will not only take over Afghanistan,
but they will take over Iran
as is trying to purchase Iranto a tune of $400 billion.
It has already put in much paid
and has bought off every member
of the parliament of Pakistan
who has business tiesto Chinese companies.
That means if you loseAfghanistan to China
that means you'll definitely lose
in a near future Iranand Pakistan to China
and then virtually the entire Middle East.
- Okay, we'll have to waitand see what happens here
with a new administrationor a continuation
of the Trump administration.

- The clock may be running outfor president Donald Trump.
With less than two weeks to go
before the Electoral Collegemeets to decide the presidency,
can the Trump legal team and other lawyers
prove vote fraud?
Appearing on 60 Minutes this week,
former Cyber Security ChiefChristopher Krebs claimed
the November election was the most secure
in American history.
- We can go on and on withall the farcical claims
that alleging interferencein the 2020 election.
But the proof is in the ballot.
- Here with us as Rich Higgins.
Mr. Higgins is formerDirector of Strategic Planning
at the National Security Council.
He currently serves asPresident of HTG security
and Information WarfareConsulting Service.
And his book is The Memo,
20 years Inside the Deep StateFighting for America First.
Rich, it's a pleasure to have you with us.
We just heard comments from
former Cyber Security Chief Chris Krebs
who said this election wasthe most secure in US history
yet cybersecurity expert,retired army Colonel Phil Waldron
just testified in Arizona this week
that votes weren't quote, assecure as your Venmo account.
What do you think?
- I think that Mr. Krebs is full of it.
I think he's compromised in multiple ways
not the least of whichis he has representatives
from Dominion Voting Serviceon his advisory staff
at the department of Homeland Security,
which is just theatrically absurd.
And then, as to ColonelWaldron's commentary,
the lack of audit logs inthese machines it's remarkable.
I mean, you wouldn't allow your daughter
to just use a basic software package
that they had this lack of security.
I mean, it's absolutelyabsurd where we're at.
- Do you really believe JoeBiden received 80 million votes
more than Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton?
I know former federal prosecutorAttorney Sidney Powell says
that foreign playersmanipulated our vote totals
through Dominion Voting Systems.
So what evidence existsto prove her allegations?
- Well, we have a mountain of evidence
that goes to some specifics.
And I'm not a lawyer,
but the circumstantial evidence is there,
the data, the digital evidence is there.
Just the eyewitness testimony is there.
And so far as SidneyPowell specific allegations
about the Dominion Voting Services,
you have to do a bit of a history lesson
and go back to Venezuelaand understand that
when Chavez came to power in 2003,
he had a six year term
and about halfway through that in 2006,
he wanted to have areferendum on his leadership.
And to do so he wantedto assure his own victory
and Smartmatic evolves from that
through a series ofmachinations and procurement,
the software, the backend software
that Dominion Voting Services rides on
was developed by Smartmatic.
And so the question becomes,what were the holes?
What were the specificfeatures built into the menu?
And we know they wereable to switch votes.
We know that they were able to wait votes,
we know they were able to fraction votes.
All these different capabilities,
I think what Sidney's getting to
and I think she's right is,
we really don't trust these softwares.
Now there are manycountries around the world
that have banned digitalvoting, Israel, for example,
or they just do not allowthese electronic platforms
and because they knowthey're too insecure.
- How about China?
I mean, we've heardabout Venezuela Chavez,
Maduro, Cuba you mentioned that,
but China, some people say
China played a role in this as well.
What do you think?
- Well, when I've mentioned Venezuela,
I immediately think of Cuba.
I mean, they're thebasically one in the same,
at least in the intelligenceand security world
they work very closely together.
Both of which are client States of China
with long relationships.
Now just being reported todaywere some preliminary reports
that up to $400 million was invested
by a Chinese investment fund
into the parent company
of Dominion Voting Services.
And so, there's just alot of questions here
that have to be answered andwe're on a very tight timeline.
So I think, the challengefor the Trump administration
is to address these long-term issues,
but also to make a compelling case
that the short term fraud really occurred,
that it wasn't randomized fraud
this happens in every election,
that there was a purposeand intent behind it.
For example, when sixStates stopped counting
at the same time, somebodytold them to do that, right?
And it gets into what doesthe DNC know and not know,
who were they working with?
Why was a representative of Dominion
on Joe Biden's campaign staff?
A lot of questions thathave to be answered here.
- Now, Dominionspokesperson, Michael Steel,
debunked the election interference
and any connection to foreign countries,
Venezuela, Germany, Spain, et cetera.
He called it all conspiracy theory.
Yet a Dominion contractor in Detroit said
machines there wereconnected to the internet.
Others say votes went toservers in Frankfurt, Germany
and elsewhere.
So how do you prove though, Rich
electronic vote manipulation
when by design and maybe doneso as not to be detected.
- Right, I think the way you prove it is
you go back and you audit the logs,
but they don't giveyou those facts, right?
I mean, just the lack of presence to it.
It goes to Mr. Krebs comment.
I mean, it's just a theatricallyabsurd comment to make
that this was the mostsecure election in history.
And so far as thefraudulent activity though,
the thing that I think happened here,
I can't prove this is that
the audit itself willreveal a couple of things.
This is a hand counted auditedsignatures matching audit,
not just a ballot recount.
It will show that whenthe stop order was given
on the night of the election
and these massive ballot dumps happened,
and then post the ballot dumps
the algorithm that they wererunning was just sufficient
to maintain Bidens less thana percent lead across this is,
which was completely breakingfrom the pattern before
the ballot dumps.
And I think what we haveto do is we have to go back
and we have to use statisticsand math and science
to actually show this right.
The left loves to use science.
Well, here you go.
Here's the data science it's proving that
this is a statistical impossibility.
The question goingforward really though is,
how do you come back from this, right?
I mean,
if they're willing todo this to retain power,
what else are they willing to do?
- I was going to ask then a Rich,
no matter who's sworn inas president January 20th,
all of this has kind offocused our attention
on election security or insecurity.
So what do we do now?
What do we do to protect thevote integrity in the future,
especially with those twoSenate runoff elections
coming next month in Georgia?
- Look, I think that theproblem is large enough
that it requires a national effort
to maybe federalize at least the standards
through which theseelections are conducted.
I'm not a big believerin the federal government
coming down and imposing on these States
certain rules and strictures,
but, again, it goes back to
the banning the mass mailing of ballots.
Just the extra constitutional nature
of the activities in thepast year under COVID
of which the election is a part of it,
it's just mind boggling where we're at.
And I think from atechnological standpoint,
you can fix this by requiring audit logs
as part of the voting system
or we could just simplygo back to paper ballots
if we have to.
I get this is one of those things where
the low tech answer maybe the right answer.
- Okay, the book is The Memo
20 years inside the deep statefighting for America First.

- The first batch ofPfizer's COVID-19 vaccine
is now in the United States,
waiting Emergency Food andDrug Administration approval.
An FDA green light maycome as early as next week.
40 million doses are expected to be ready
for distribution in January.
So what do college studentsthink of this historic
fast track development of a vaccine?
Campus Reform videocorrespondent Ophelie Jacobson
recently talked about the vaccine
with students at Georgetown University.
She found that mostdidn't want to give credit
to Donald Trump
for advancing an effectiveprevention in record time.
- Would you credit this accomplishment
to the Trump administration?
- I would not credit it tothe Trump administration.
- No.
- Probably not.
I personally think that theyhaven't been doing a great job
with dealing with the coronavirus.
- I would not credit toTrump's administration
just based on like how all the plannings
have been going on so far.
- AH, no, I don't think so.
- And what did the college student say
about actually taking thevaccine once it's available?
Well here to set us straight
from the University ofFlorida in Gainesville
is Ophelie Jacobson.
Hi, Ophelie it's good to meet you.
So you were surprised by thoseresponses that you heard.
Did you receive some positive comments?
Why did you think most were negative?
- So majority were negative
and I went to Georgetown University
to see if these students again
would be willing to give theTrump administration credit
for working with these private companies
to develop this vaccine.
And what I found was just another example
of how college students don'tseem to recognize any good
that comes from the administration.
At the Leadership Institutes Campus Reform
we've found that collegestudents have a strong dislike
for the administration and the president,
even working with pharmaceutical companies
to develop this vaccine.
At the end of the day ofdeveloping this vaccine
for the coronavirus should bea bipartisan accomplishment
that all Americans should be proud of.
But it's unfortunate thatpolitics have distorted
these college studentsminds into thinking that
everything that the Trumpadministration says or does
can't be trusted.
- Well how about actually taking a vaccine
once it is availableto the general public,
what did the students tell you?
- Right, so I asked studentsexactly that question.
If a vaccine were to bedeveloped by the end of the year,
would you be willing to take it?
And a lot of them said no.
One girl specifically told me that
she would not be taking the vaccine
simply because, well, it was developed
under the Trump administration.
She told me that she was skeptical
of everything the president says or does.
And for that reason,
she would be skepticalof the vaccine as well.
But I can guaranteeyou if the same vaccine
were to have been developedunder a Biden administration,
this students would have beenfirst in line to take it.
- Yeah, it's actually, it's been developed
by Pfizer and Moderna, others.
and you are at the University of Florida
so tell us about another subject.
You asked students there
about a potential Trumpsecond term agenda,
but you told them it was Joe Biden's.
How did they respond?
And what did they say once they found out
it was actually Trump's agenda?
- Yeah, so I brought up acouple of things from Trump's,
you know his agenda and hisaccomplishments actually.
I told them that they wereactually Biden's at first
and they all seem to jumpon board with that idea,
agreeing that they were good ideas
and that they should beimplemented in the government.
But when I told them thatthey were actually Trump's,
you see their minds do a complete 180
and all of a sudden they aren't so sure
of the accomplishments any more
simply again, it's tied to the name Trump.
And students have beenconditioned by their professors
and by their peers to hate
that everything thatis associated with him
and his administration.
- Even though they maylike those policies.
So Ophelie, although many college students
are still not on campus,
many are doing theirclasses remotely online.
And like you, if they are on campus,
they're still doing themfrom their dorms online.
So you say a leftist doctrinenation is continuing.
So how is that happening whenstudents aren't actually there
to attend speeches and hearspecial speakers and events,
that kind of thing?
- Well, we have onlineevents on campus, on Zoom.
And we have our lectures online
and professors are stillable to voice their opinion.
And especially in theelection year of 2020,
a lot of professors use that opportunity
to express their own opinion
instead of actuallyfocusing on the lectures
and the content that theyare actually paid to teach.
And because of that,
this is a trend that we'vebeen seeing at Campus Reform.
A lot of professors willvoice their own opinion
and students will take that in
without ever actually goingout to do their own research
and learning how to think for themselves.
- Ophelie Jacobson, thanksfor setting us straight today.
- Thank you so much.

- Unless there's an electoralcollege or legal miracle,
it looks like this is MelaniaTrump's final Christmas
as first lady.
During her first Christmasat the White House,
Mrs. Trump's critics tweeted out contempt
for her Christmas decorations.
They said she had apotential pension for quote,
existential dread.
And then in 2018 more disdain.
This time about treeslining the East Colonnade
of the White House,
adorned in Christmas red,
a pension for blood they said.
And this year The Guardian reported
Melania Trump's swappedhorror for a tradition,
with a lighter approachto Christmas decor.
They described her America,the beautiful theme
as a break from previous years,
which featured blood redtrees and bare branches.
Folks, this is justmore unrelenting hatred
against the president and his wife.
Believe me if this had beenMichelle Obama or Jill Biden,
these same people and members of the media
would have called the WhiteHouse decorations exceptional
a vanguard displays,
brilliant breaks from holiday tradition.
Now I say holiday because
the media has a hard timecalling it Christmas.
And on rare occasions, whenthey actually forced themselves
to utter the word Christmas,
it's always in a secular sense, right?
For them, it's aboutSanta, holiday not Jesus.
It may be only sympathyfor what they believe
is a departing first lady,
but the New York Times declaredthis year's decorations
as strikingly normal.
Still one person on Twitter took note
of the vases lining the East Colonnade,
tweeting how fitting theurns of COVID Christmas.
Folks, I love this year'sAmerica, the beautiful theme.
Here's a short clip.
Take a look and you decidewhether or not you agree.
(Christmas carol music)
Thank you, Mrs. Trump for bringing beauty,
elegance, and faith to the White House.
If your departure comes on January 20th,
I know millions ofAmericans will miss you.
Your charm, grace and humility.
