Excellent interview. I love the concrete clarity of Mr. Elias.

[debiallen]

Make those laws nation wide. Yes should have been done long ago.

[mvvpro]

Why do we keep hearing this argument that fighting against the spreading of lies will only make it worse, and not when it comes to other crimes? Should we just stop arresting criminals because otherwise they may start committing even more serious crimes?

[spacemonkey]

He’s saying what needs to be said. Sadly, most R’s will not tolerate being told the truth about themselves.

[rjlchristie]

Hey USA, here's an idea - instead of new laws how about enforcing existing ones?

[GoodJuju.D]

Finally some good news.
I hope this will stop the liars, Denier's, and Maggots.

[kosmokritikos]

Televised arrests and trials followed by harsh prison sentences would go a long way to stem this problem.

[mallywally]

I love how he laid that out. Intentionality is everything

[pattykelly]

Who cares. They can dig in their heels in jail.

[michaelhernandez]

Isn't the scotus hearing a case right now as to whether or not a internet service can be held liable for 2nd and 3rd parties misinformation, disinformation?

[oddjam]

Something needs to be done but this doesn't really sound that proactive. And not because it causes the deniers to deny more, that's just what the right claims.

[golfncrypto]

Watching this channel feels like living in an alternate reality

[debiallen]

It's about time they all started fighting back to stop the LIARS. PROUD OF BENSEN IN MY STATE OF MICH.

[Dragoninja]

It should be in OUR Vested interest for all Political Parties that the Vote Be COUNTED ACCURATELY & WITH INTEGRITY. Whatever the outcome of an Election is we will be Assured that the Election was Run Fairly & the outcome can be accepted.

[TheRealCrimdor]

We were told the election deniers lost in the mid terms and that democracy had been saved…

[jimmyyoung]

2 years? Democrats cried for 4 years with Trump. You have a short memory pal.

"no one comes to the Father except by me. If you knew me you would know my Father too.”

[LBKeen]

Hmm
Notice how this video get low engagement 👀 youtube seems to be to suppressing videos like this

[beefree]

In other words, prepare the ballot traffickers, since for them it’s not about votes, it’s about ballots. That’s their definition of democracy.

[sage]

Secure Democracy by pushing for a one party system lol
