With President Donald Trump's approval, National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard has taken a leading role in reviewing the 2020 election, including claims about voting machine vulnerabilities and foreign interference.
In what she describes as one of the most important podcasts she has ever done at American Family Radio, Sandy Rios recently relayed much from Lara Logan's interview with former CIA officer Gary Berntsen and New York Times bestselling author Ralph Pezzullo.
In episode 45 of "Going Rogue," Pezzullo told Logan the fraud in the 2020 presidential election started years earlier with voting machines designed specifically to allow Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez, who loved Barak Obama, to steal an election in his country.
"It was a computer system that was originally designed to help Chavez win the referendum in 2004," Pezzullo said.
Logan and her guests said the technology became valuable to hostile regimes like Cuba, China, Iran, and Russia-linked networks seeking to undermine Western political systems without conventional warfare.
U.S. Democrats eventually brought the system, which is capable of altering electronic vote totals, to help them win elections stateside.
"You're allowing a foreign country, an enemy, to run elections in every swing state in the United States," Pezzullo summarized.
Berntsen, a decorated former CIA operator, says voting machines made by Dominion Voting Systems – used in about 28 states to process votes, including in key states such as Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin – are designed to defeat post-election audits.
"When you do the audit, you're not allowed to look in the box," he explained. "You have to look at the screens. They've changed the rules that make it almost impossible to show that they cheated."
He told Logan the 2020 election was war-gamed out a year in advance using engineers and election experts to make sure the Democrat candidate – Joe Biden – won and would not get caught cheating.
"This was the science of engineer theft and a multi-billion-dollar business globally," Berntsen said.
He and investigator Martín Rodil had tried to brief U.S. agencies about election vulnerabilities. They found reason to believe that U.S. taxpayer money was funneled through foreign-backed non-governmental organizations to promote vulnerable election systems and that foreign intelligence services used contractors and intermediaries to influence U.S. election infrastructure.
Attempts to report vulnerabilities were ignored, blocked, or downplayed, and Pezzullo maintains the 2020 election exposed weaknesses "engineered over decades."
Rios remembers how many people's professional lives were destroyed and that some were imprisoned for speaking up about the problems, so she thinks Berntsen and Pezzullo's research is "gold" as the Trump administration gets to the bottom of what happened.
She believes God will help to those who embrace the truth and are working to expose the darkness.
