George Conway & Dr. Ashish Jha

**Molly Jong-Fast** (0:00)
Hi, I'm Molly Jong-Fast, and this is Fast Politics, where we discuss the top political headlines with some of today's best minds. And Governor Andy Beshear says he got calls suggesting that Mitch McConnell is dead. Dun dun dun dun. We have such a great show for you today. George Conway stops by to talk about Trump's deranged speech and his election lies. Then we'll talk to Dr. Ashish Jha about RFK Jr.'s gross negligence leading to an outbreak of explosive diarrhea. But first, the news.

**George Conway** (0:35)
So, Molly, have you seen this video of John Solomon, who's one of Trump's propagandists, basically looking like they're trying to drag him to rehab outside the White House after Trump's deranged election speech? Because this video is very funny.

**Molly Jong-Fast** (0:50)
So this is a video after the Trump speech. Why this video is important and why anything in this speech is important is because basically they are doing lies about the election in a way.
They're not quite like making shit up. They're mostly just sort of, they're doing what Bill Barr did with the Mueller report. They're miscategorizing things in a way that they hope will make a case. But John Solomon is a really out there, wacko, right-wing conspirator. I mean, he's like the Pizzagate guy if the Pizzagate guy were old and had a suit. Actually, the Pizzagate guy has suits.

**George Conway** (1:36)
A little worse fitting.

**Molly Jong-Fast** (1:37)
Worse fitting. So anyway, he's a wacko, but this actually is not that crazy for him, I think, is the net-net, but we will listen to it and you will be able to decide. Yeah.

**George Conway** (1:48)
What I like to call this is half-hearted propaganda. Let's take a listen.

**Ashish Jha** (1:51)
We're not telling the president.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:52)
Do you acknowledge that there were no votes changed in 2020?

**Ashish Jha** (1:55)
All I can acknowledge is what the intelligence shows.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:57)
I only know the intelligence community has zero evidence that a foreign power flipped a vote in 2020, 2022, or 2024
You're able to acknowledge that Venezuela has not tampered with voting machines in the United States? No. The intelligence is very clear. They did it on their own machines. Why is it important that they did it on their machines?

**George Conway** (2:18)
Their machine protocols are the same as America. Why?

**Ashish Jha** (2:21)
Because for a long time, they did it on their own.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:23)
So the 2020 election was, in fact, the results as we, the American public, saw it.

**Ashish Jha** (2:29)
I'm still researching.

**George Conway** (2:29)
So let me, this is the first one.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:31)
But there's no intelligence.

**Molly Jong-Fast** (2:32)
Not yet.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:34)
There is no intelligence at the election. It would have said that Donald Trump was right.

**Molly Jong-Fast** (2:40)
The good news is, I don't know. I mean, so John Solomon is saying they didn't change the votes, right?

**George Conway** (2:47)
As well, after Trump was insinuating all this stuff with China, the only things that their own research showed is that Russia tried to.

**Molly Jong-Fast** (2:56)
Right. Russia tried to influence the votes for Donald Trump. China would have liked to have influenced the vote, but didn't. I mean, here's what matters about all of this. What we should take from this is that Donald Trump is going to try to mess with the votes, and we need to be vigilant. Everyone needs to vote. Everyone needs to make sure their vote is documented. We have all sorts of things in place, so you can track your ballot, so you can track your vote.
Are votes going to be safe? Yes. Is it going to be free and fair? Yes. Will Donald Trump try to prevent the House from being ceded? Probably. There are a lot of people out there, we're going to have them over the next couple of months, who are involved in election security organizations. People like Mark Elias, people like, there are all different foundations, we're going to get as many of them as we can to come and talk about how they're going to take this fight to the courts, where ultimately Donald Trump, as he loses with everything, will lose in the courts with this.

**George Conway** (4:00)
When we're facing very formidable foes, and as incompetent as they are, they are saying very scary things. I would love if the DNC functioned a little better, and this headline inspires no confidence. DNC officers were asked to sign NDAs amid financial woes.

**Molly Jong-Fast** (4:18)
Okay. So here's what's happening. There is a very, very, very annoying situation happening at the DNC, which is that Ken Martin is just out of his depths. He is the chair of the DNC. He cannot raise money. He cannot do media.
