Summary

It's another topic decide by the fine folks over at patreon.com/seriouspod! Donna Brazile made a huge stir with her article on Politico.com claiming the DNC was rigged in favor of Hillary. She actually later walked back that language, but that didn't stop an avalanche of accusations on both sides. I tried very hard to check all my biases and take a look at the evidence and see what really happened.

0:00.0	You're listening to serious inquiries only. Oh, Hello and welcome to serious inquiries only this is number 92. I'm your host Thomas Smith and today I'm going to be talking about the DNC. I want to once again thank my patrons over Patreon. dot com slash serious pod.
0:43.8	I did another poll to find out what topic people wanted me to cover and I was a little
0:48.7	bit surprised. I wasn't sure if people were kind of over the whole DNC thing but that that far and away had the most votes.
0:55.3	Someday we'll get to Red Pill volume two. Don't worry. We'll get there. We got plenty of time.
1:00.0	I do want to note though that A, I really do appreciate everyone voting gets it got a lot of votes this time it's a cool thing to get people's opinions on but be
1:10.1	Also It's no guarantee that I'm gonna do this every time or that that's always going to be the one I pick.
1:16.5	I can, I can put up a poll, get some input.
1:19.3	I also like comments, people leave comments and that's very helpful.
1:23.0	So I just want to let you guys know,

1:27.8	Don't hold me to like a guarantee that if something gets the votes,
1:31.4	I'll definitely talk about it but it does

1:38.3	votes then that tells me it's not worthwhile as a topic to my audience and that's important.
1:44.6	But so I just want to leave a little wiggle room in there so it doesn't just become a
1:49.3	podcast by committee or something.
1:51.8	But that said, I actually personally really did want to look
1:55.0	into the DNC thing myself, these claims by Donna Brazil. It is something I wanted to cover anyway.
2:00.1	So I think in general, our interests, you know, listeners and I, patrons and I I I suppose, have been pretty in line because I have wanted to cover the things that end up getting the most votes. So that's good. I like that. So that's what I want to do today.
2:15.2	I do a deep dive into the claims that the DNC was rigged for Hillary. I think it's one of those
2:21.6	things where as much as we all want to stop litigating the past,
2:25.6	unfortunately the past has implications on the future and the future is critically important
