A controversy erupted over a video posted by Donald Trump on Truth Social that allegedly depicted the Obamas as primates in a "Lion King" parody. While the media focused on the racist implications, the bulk of the video contained forensic claims regarding Smartmatic software and 4G wireless chips found in voting machines. The post was eventually deleted following a call between Trump and Senator Tim Scott.

The U.S. Justice Department indicted three Smartmatic executives for an alleged bribery scheme involving the former top election official in the Philippines, Andy Bautista. Prosecutors claim a slush fund was used to secure a 2016 voting machine contract. This occurs while Smartmatic is pursuing a $3 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox News and Newsmax over 2020 election claims.

Venezuela is in turmoil following a contested presidential election where Nicolas Maduro claimed victory despite opposition data showing Edmundo Gonzalez won by a landslide. The U.S. State Department and several Latin American nations have refused to recognize the results, citing a lack of transparency. The hosts note the irony of the Biden administration calling out rigged elections involving Smartmatic machines.

Fox Business abruptly canceled "Lou Dobbs Tonight," the network's highest-rated show, following a $2.7 billion lawsuit from Smartmatic. CNN's Brian Stelter reports that while Dobbs was a loyal Trump supporter, his "extreme content" and legal liabilities led to his removal from the air.

Newsmax and Fox News aired unprecedented legal disclaimers and "clarifications" regarding their coverage of Smartmatic and Dominion Voting Systems. Following threats of massive defamation lawsuits, the networks stated they have found no evidence of vote manipulation or ties between the companies and foreign governments like Venezuela.

Fox News interviewed tech expert Eddie Perez to debunk claims linking Smartmatic to George Soros or foreign tabulation of U.S. votes. The sudden shift in coverage is attributed to legal pressure, though some suggest a major news organization like Fox would typically welcome the "discovery" phase of a lawsuit unless they had their own secrets to protect.

Former Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne discussed the Chinese concept of "Assassin's Mace" (Shashoujian), a strategy for defeating a superior adversary with a single stroke. Byrne alleges that the 2020 election interference, involving Smartmatic and Chinese funding, represents the execution of this strategy to destabilize the United States. He claims that fingerprints from Iran, Pakistan, and China are present in the industrial-scale election fraud.

A judge in Antrim County, Michigan, granted a legal team access to 22 Dominion voting machines for a forensic audit following a reported "glitch" that initially switched 6,000 votes. Meanwhile, Smartmatic Chairman Lord Mark Malloch-Brown was named president of George Soros's Open Society Foundations. These developments have fueled ongoing debates regarding the security and transparency of electronic voting systems.

Following his presidential pardon, General Michael Flynn stated that Donald Trump has a clear path to victory in several swing states. Flynn alleges that Communist China moved up its plans for global superpower status and interfered in the 2020 election through mail-in ballot theft and foreign-owned voting software.

A 2006 CNN report by Lou Dobbs and Kitty Pilgrim is revisited, which detailed concerns over Smartmatic’s acquisition of Sequoia Voting Systems. The archival footage confirms that the U.S. government and Chicago officials were once deeply concerned about Venezuelan nationals having access to American election software, contradicting current media claims that such concerns are "bizarre conspiracy theories."

Attorney Sidney Powell outlines her upcoming lawsuits in swing states, alleging a global criminal conspiracy involving Dominion and Smartmatic software. She claims that servers in Germany were confiscated by U.S. forces and that the software has been used to rig elections for decades.

Sidney Powell alleged that Smartmatic software, used in conjunction with Dominion voting systems, was designed to shift millions of votes from Donald Trump to Joe Biden. She claimed that an unexpected landslide for Trump caused the system to "glitch," forcing operators to stop the count and backfill the results with fabricated Biden ballots.

Rudy Giuliani claimed that Smartmatic was founded in Venezuela specifically to fix elections and that the company processed 2020 U.S. election data in Germany and Spain. A 2018 executive order signed by President Trump regarding foreign interference in elections is now being viewed as a potential tool for investigating these claims. Additionally, social media posts from Dominion executive Eric Coomer have been cited as evidence of anti-Trump bias within the company.

Sidney Powell read from a whistleblower affidavit describing how Smartmatic software was used to manipulate election results for Hugo Chavez in Venezuela. The whistleblower alleged that the system allowed operators in a control room to see real-time results and move votes between candidates without detection or a paper trail.

Attorney Sidney Powell and Judge Jeanine Pirro discussed allegations involving Smartmatic software and servers located in Frankfurt, Germany. Rumors circulated regarding a U.S. military or CIA raid on a facility in Frankfurt to seize servers containing election data.

Smartmatic, the electoral technology company that managed Venezuelan elections for years, ceased operations in the country in March 2018. The company stated it could no longer guarantee the validity of election results under the Maduro administration. This withdrawal followed allegations that the 2018 election results were pre-programmed or manipulated.
