Listened to the first few minutes, the AI translation using someones voice as the basis is pretty solid.

I've been going back through some of the older physics/mathematics podcasts that I'd missed and just listened to this one. This guy has such a visual way of describing theories it made it so much fun to listen to. Some of the stories he tells about how major developments in physics or maths were discovered or proven were wonderful.

In this podcast, Saager spends 15 minutes talking about the long, unknown history of corruption and rigging elections in the US, then laughs at the prospect of the 2020 election being rigged. Calling ballot box shenanigans the "low IQ" stop the vote theory.
I stopped listening to this guy's podcast when he was congratulating the Biden admin on their Afghanistan withdrawal. He's still annoying.

I don't even know what the theory you're talking about. What I think is bullshit is wholly writing off the possibility that there might have been some funny business with ballot counting, shortly after talking about the long history of funny business with ballot counting in American elections.
Also your opinion doesn't mean much to me because I disagree with you almost every time you open your mouth. <3

You're criticizing me for not knowing about a theory that you're implying is a crackpot conspiracy theory?

It was a huge documentary in MAGA circles. Our local state legislator held a viewing of it in my hometown. It was all over the news for weeks. It's really pretty surprising to me that you missed it.

If you find yourself confused about my perspective again, copy and paste the above quote into ChatGPT and ask it to keep rewording it until it makes sense to you.

The further you go down the rabbit hole of people sneaking around with fake ballots and stuffing boxes, the less likely it seems. That's why he calls it the "low IQ stop the steal" ideas. If you have really thought through the details of what it would take to pull that off, you know that would be nearly impossible. Dinesh D'Souza really, really tried to come up with a plausible theory on how something like that could be possible. In my opinion he failed, but then even the signals he was using as evidence were later shown to be such a load of bullshit that he had to admit it publicly. The "high IQ stop the steal" idea was that the election was stolen because the media was on Biden's side, bought into the Russia-Gate lies, covered up the Hunter Biden Laptop, etc. This stuff is at least true but it's hard to say whether it actually swung the election or not.
Trump, being smarter than D'Souza AND the "high IQ stop the steal" crowd knew that it didn't matter if it was true or not, because as long as he said it was true, MAGA would do whatever it takes to convince themselves it's true because they are really just in love with Trump and when Trump departs from ideology or truth, ideology and truth lose.

Yes, and we dont need any of those convoluted schemes because we have 'legal' voter fraud: ballot harvesting.
It is super easy to get true believers to go around to places with super low voter turnout, pay those people some money to sign their absentee ballot, and then fill it out with their choice of candidates. I didnt watch the movie, but I saw some stills and juat assumed it was harvesters because it is legal in those states.
