Why would we not consider tried and true information and data? Why do we keep relying on polls that have been completely wrong for many years? Why has no one asked or demanded that trump step aside or drop out of the race? There is a strong and reliable system that has correctly predicted the outcome of every presidential race since 1864...that's right...since 1864. it's right in front of us. But corporate media doesn't want you to know that. They need their ratings. ALSO! Listen to proof of every SCOTUS Justice commit perjury in Senate Confirmation Hearings for the last 35 years. They've been playing the long game. It looks as though they may actually be called out this next coming week. AND! The NAZIs are saying the quiet part out loud. They are too dumb to sneak it in like the actual NAZIs did in the 1930s. We will defeat them.
Here on the ground, change happens fast. Problems feel frequent and urgent. It's loud, and anxiety runs high. From a satellite view, the earth looks the same as it did thousands of years ago. We've been here before. Let's learn from our past and shoot for a better future. Hello, and welcome to this episode of a satellite view. I'm Todd Mickelson, your host, speaking at you from Sunday, July 7, 2024, in the space and time continuum, what a week. Again, of course, it was the 4 July. So there were, you know, Congress was out of town. The Supreme Court made a ruling and then ditched town because they knew that, uh, they're basically torching the country. We're going to talk about that and some surprising developments that will probably unfold this next coming week on the Supreme Court. Right now, though, I want to go back in time to 1864. One of the most hated at the time, presidents of the United States, Abraham Lincoln. None of us were alive in 1860 and 1864, but, uh, we can look at history. Abraham Lincoln had to sneak in to Washington, DC in 1860 in a, uh, like a costume because there was so much chance of him being assassinated, so many death threats. In fact, after the election and even before his inauguration, states started to secede from the union. Now, of course, we don't remember that. Do you remember that? I don't remember that, but I know about it, and I think most of you do as well. That was the beginning of the civil war. Those states ended up fighting against the other states. That's how much that president was hated. He was called the most liberal president that country ever had. The conservatives were afraid of losing slavery, and the most liberal president being elected was making it look more and more likely that that would happen anyway. We're not going to concentrate, uh, on the civil war. But as shaky as things were in 1864 for the re election of Abraham Lincoln, there was a war, a, ah, civil war going on. That seems like a pretty bad domestic problem to be having. Yet he won. He won the reelection. Now, there were many factors involved in that, but, uh, even though that was an unusual election, because a lot of the states weren't voting for the president because we were in a civil war and they weren't really considered part of the United States, the whole idea of the quote unquote United States was up in the air. Now, a historian, his name is Alan Lichtman. You've heard me talk about him. You've heard him speak on this show before. Um, not that I got him as a guest or anything. I played a clip of him on tv Ah show he's an american historian, and he hooked up with Vladimir Kallis Barak, a russian geophysicist, in 1981. Together, they adopted, uh, prediction methods adapted, I should say, prediction methods that Kellis Borac had designed for earthquake prediction. This system is a 13 point checklist that assesses the situation of the country and political system ahead of a presidential election. When five or fewer items on the checklist are false, the incumbent party nominee is predicted to win the election. But when six or more items on the checklist are false, the challenging party nominee is predicted to win. They went back to every election since 1864, and this system proved to be correct in every election since 1864. That's how they patterned it. They looked at all these different points, and they came up with these 13 keys. They call it. It's called the keys to win the White House. They came up with it because it, as a system, falls true in every election since 1864. They adopted it in 1981. Now, it was going to be put to the test in future elections. There have been ten elections since 1980. 119 8488-92 96 20 00 20 04 20 00 620 1220 16 and 20 2010 elections. And these keys have predicted every single election. Of those ten, this 13 keys has been correct in every election leading up to today. Since 1864. Polling okay, let's go now to 2016. Coming ahead in time, but still backwards from now, 2016. Sam Wang, he is the head of the Princeton polling consortium. In 2016, he said 99% chance Hillary Clinton would win. And he said, if Donald Trump gets more than 240 electoral votes, I will eat a bug on television. That's what Sam Wang said he would do, and that's what Sam Wang did on CNN. He ate a cricket because he was wrong in 2016. You know who was not wrong? Alan Lichtman using the keys to the White House. I remember watching Alan Lichtman back then, and it scared the crap out of me because he had this claim. I've predicted every election correctly since 1864, basically, but certainly since 1980. 419 84. By the way, a lot of Republicans wanted Reagan to step aside because he was too old. Reagan actually was showing signs of Alzheimer's. Uh, early. Well, not even early onset Alzheimer's, just Alzheimer's, because he was 73 years old in 1984. He stayed in. And of course, the keys to the White House showed he would win. He won 49 states. What do you think of that? M he won every state except Minnesota. Minnesota has not voted for a republican president since 1972, yet everybody's hair is on fire. Oh, my God. Trump's going to win Minnesota. No, he's not. No, he's not. Why would we listen to polls? The Princeton polling consortium, that sounds pretty, uh, you know, like, all knowledgeable on polls. Polls have been wrong. So wrong for really, for 20 or more years. But certainly since 2016, every poll on, um, every election has been wrong. Every poll in every election since 2016 and including 2016 have been wrong. Why would we listen to the. I mean, come on, people, we need to stop it. Corporate media is going on these polls. Here's another reason why not to listen to the polls. Some polls since the debate show that Donald Trump has gained, uh, but then some polls show that Joe Biden has gained. Some polls even showed Joe Biden was losing before the debate. And then polls taken after the debate now have him winning in the polls. So why would we consider those as being valuable information when they contradict themselves? Now you just have people on Fox choosing the polls that they like, and, uh, people on MSNBC still choosing the polls that fox likes. Nobody's talking about the polls where Biden's winning, including me. You know why? Because I don't care about polls. They have been consistently wrong for a long time. The keys to the White House has been consistently correct for a, uh, really long time. Basically since the second election where we had a democratic party against the republican party. The first time the Democrats were against the Republicans was in 1860. Then in 1864, although the Republicans tried to kind of change their name a little bit, it was still the Republicans against the Democrats. Every election since 1864, the keys to the White House has predicted accurately. So why would we not listen to that? Alan Lichtman is saying Democrats would be absolutely nuts to make Biden step aside. Right now, Biden is the best chance for us to win, because right now, in the keys to the White House, he would have to lose six of the items. Let's go through the items a little bit. A party mandate, of course he has that. It turns true if the incumbent party has achieved a net gain of seats in the US House of Representatives after the terms midterm elections compared to the previous. For example, in 1982 House elections in the middle of Ronald Reagan's first term, the Republicans lost 27 seats. But in the term before that, in 1980, they gained 35. So this left them with a net gain of eight seats, turning the party mandate key number one. Key. True. Okay, so you see, this is a well thought out system. I will repeat that has been correct every time since 1864. Key number two, no primary contest. I think it could be argued that there was no primary contest against Joe Biden. There was actually against Donald Trump. Why should Trump stay in? Why is nobody asking Trump to drop out? He's losing horribly in these keys. He does not have key number one or key number two. He does not have key number three, which is incumbent seeking reelection. Keys five and six. Strong, long term and short term economy. Okay? Joe Biden has that key. The economy is the best in the world. It is one of the best situations that we've ever been in in the history of this country. Yes. Things are still too expensive in some regards, and some people are still hurting, and they will always be hurting as long as we have this way too under regulated form of our economy in the United States. Major policy change, okay? Abraham Lincoln abolished slavery, all right? That was a major policy change. Franklin Roosevelt enacted the New Deal. Barack Obama enacted the Affordable Care act. They all won reelection. There are a lot of things that Joe Biden has done, including, uh, that have improved our economy. The Chips act has brought more jobs. The, uh, Infrastructure act has brought more jobs. The climate change that is included in those. It could be argued that there is major policy change. I say he's got key number seven. No social unrest. You know, that's up in the air. No scandal. Okay? There is no scandal going on in the Biden administration. As much as the right wing wants to try and convince us that there is, there just simply is not. And they look like idiots for trying to say so. Foreign military failure and success, that's a hard one to argue. It's more complicated than just winning or losing a war. The cuban missile crisis was a problem for Kennedy. The korean war was not good for Eisenhower. The Vietnam war was not good. You know, so those are more decisive kind of things. You know, the attack on Pearl harbor, the Bay of Pigs invasion, Iran hostage crisis made Jimmy Carter lose key number ten and eleven. And it wasn't even really his fault. There was a sandstorm when he tried to do a rescue of the hostages in Iran, and one of the helicopters crashed. So he lost that key. So that's what I'm talking about. You have this many keys. So Biden has the most keys. If Kamala Harris takes over, she loses two of the keys. She's not an incumbent seeking reelection. Now, what Alan Lichtman says his plan B is if everyone insists on Biden stepping aside. He said the best thing would be for Biden to then actually resign so that Kamala Harris can become president before the election, in which case she is an incumbent seeking reelection. Now, of course, she's only going to be an incumbent for a couple months. So still, Joe Biden is by far the best chance of winning against Trump. I am not going back on my prediction. As you can tell, I base my predictions on things like this, not polls that have been consistently wrong for years and years. And also, not only were the polls wrong in all these sneaky elections, trying to where the right wing was trying to get rid of, uh, all abortion rights in some states, but that made the democrats wake up and vote and overperform in mind blowing amounts. I argued last week, I think that this debate has everyone in a panic. I think it's making more democrats say, okay, now, now I'm definitely voting for Biden because Trump, we cannot have Trump. And another thing I want to mention in the next segment is Project 2025. The news coming out about that debates don't change people's minds. That's another thing that we can actually look at in real results. Not corporate media trying to have everyone in a panic constantly. Results, not corporate media only reporting on Joe Biden having a tough night that night, and not saying a word about Trump having a very tough night that night. He looked like an idiot and a liar. Listen to last week's episode. I go through a lot more detail. Some panels that were questioned immediately after the debate, and it does not say the same thing that corporate media is saying, does not say the same thing that even this morning they're talking about Biden needing to step aside. That's the corporate media wanting all of us to be scared. I've become convinced over the last two weeks that the corporate media wants Donald Trump to win because they think it would be more fun news cycles forgetting that they'll all get thrown in jail or murdered, hung or something by Donald Trump. If you become more and more familiar with Project 2025, you'll see what I'm talking about. It's a nazi regime is what Trump wants. Not just Trump, but other people who are smarter than him and more able to do that and be successful at it. So that debate and this talk really has gained. It's made people see. And again, I urge you to listen to last week's, because I go into a lot of detail about what I'm talking about at this moment. Kind of makes people go, wow, hey, Joe needs our help, man. It's not just Joe. It's all of us. We got to do. All of us got to do this together. And if we vote, it's simple. If we vote, we win, period. If we vote, we win. Also, I mentioned when the right wing was trying to slip in those sneaky votes to try and get rid of all abortion rights, taking away an immense part of women's health care rights, because if abortion goes away, then clinics go away. You've heard me say a million times in Utah, women have to be airlifted out of the state because the emergency rooms won't treat any injury they have, like from a car accident. If they're pregnant, break your ankle. In Utah, if you're pregnant, you have to get airlifted out of the state because nobody will fix your ankle. Remember that. Remember that. Remember how all these votes turned out and how Democrats over performed in mind blowing amounts? Do you think that issue is going away? No, it's not going away. Democrats are fired up more than ever. Young people are fired up more than ever. That's what we're, we've been clearly seeing that. Why do we not look at that information? Why do we look at these stupid polls that are consistently wrong? They are consistently wrong. When you hear talk about the polls, you may as well turn your radio off or your tv off, because it's useless talk. Joe Biden wins according to the keys to the White House, which has predicted every election, correct. Since 1864. Why would we not go with that information? That's the information I go with, and I still stand to my prediction. Joe Biden will win against Donald Trump this time by 10 million votes in the popular vote. He will win states that people are not expecting him to win. All right, let's take a short break. I'm Todd Mikkelsen for a satellite view. And we will be right back. Uh, and we're back on a satellite view. TOdd Mickelson here with you, reminding you, if you like the music you're hearing on this show, go to toddmicholson.com press. The music link. You can have access to tons of music I've written over the years, including what you're hearing here. All right, wow. The supreme Court. Nobody, uh, trusts the Supreme Court anymore. And they basically lit everything on fire and then left on vacation this last Monday. They'll be gone for a long time. But Congress is coming back tomorrow, and they have some things to talk about concerning the Supreme Court. Finally, finally, they've crossed some sort of line to make the Congress stand up and do something right now. Let's go back in time. September 11, 1991. This is the Senate confirmation hearing for Clarence Thomas. And I have no reason or agenda to prejudge the issue or to predispose to rule one way or the other on the issue of abortion. All right, how long ago is 19? 91, 33 years? Clarence Thomas was in his mid forties or early forties. They place him on the Supreme Court. They get him confirmed, even though he's got a record of sexually harassing his employees. Does that sound familiar? They get him on the Supreme Court because they know he will do their bidding. And then they wait, and time moves forward. Now, we're at January 11, 2006. The confirmation hearing for Samuel Alito. Roe versus Wade is, uh, an important precedent of the Supreme Court. And the Supreme Court has reaffirmed the decision, sometimes on the merits, sometimes in casey, based on stare decisis. And I think that when a decision is challenged and it is reaffirmed, that strengthens its value. Okay, that's, uh. George W. Bush appoints him after getting rid of his first choice, who was a friend of his that he really wanted, and everyone talked him into, no, make her go away. We need this guy, Samuel Alito. Ah. Because he will do our bidding. And then they wait. Now, let's go forward in time to where a, uh, Republican Supreme Court justice dies while a democratic president is in the White House, but a Republican is leading the Senate. Senate confirmation hearings is how Supreme Court justices get into the supreme Court. They're appointed by the president, and then the Senate has to have hearings to confirm them. And Mitch McConnell, who was the head of the Senate when Barack Obama was president, the early part of 2016, I believe, is when the justice died. So Barack Obama, uh, appoints a nominee, and Mitch McConnell makes up a B's rule that does not exist, saying it's too close to the election, even though it's months and months away. So he's not going to hold confirmation hearings. All right, so, you know, when the new president is inaugurated, January 20, 2017, that was Donald Trump. Only two months later, March 21, 2017, we go to the Senate confirmation hearing for Neil Gorsuch. He got appointed by Trump because immediately after Trump got in the White House, then, uh, Mitch McConnell said, now we could do it. Now we can do it. That would be just fine to, uh, have a confirmation hearing. Choose whoever you want to, mister President. So here's Neil Gorsuch. It is a precedent of the United States Supreme Court. It was reaffirmed in Casey in 1992 and in several other cases. So a good judge will consider it as precedent of the United States Supreme Court, worthy as treatment of precedent like any other. All right, do you hear a, uh, pattern going on? What these people are saying, going back to 1991? And then 2006 and then 2017, they're all asked, will you vote to ban abortion? Will you overturn Roe v. Wade? And they're all lying, aka committing perjury. This is a Senate hearing. If you lie, you're committing perjury. Now, there's a problem because one of the chief justices won't quit. Kennedy, whose son made sure that approval of loans has gone to Donald Trump in corrupt ways, through a corrupt bank. And there's video of Donald Trump talking to Kennedy, walking down a hallway in the White House, saying something to Kennedy that looks like it startles Kennedy. And then Donald Trump grabs his elbow and pulls him into a room. And shortly after that, Kennedy resigns as a justice on the Supreme Court. These big money guys, right wing big money guys, have given Trump a list of people that they would approve. Not that the president would approve, but that they would approve. The next one on that list, his name is Brett Kavanaugh. Here is his confirmation hearing on September 5, 2018. This is important. Precedent of the Supreme Court been reaffirmed many times, but then planned. And this is the point I want to make that I think is important. Planned Parenthood versus Casey reaffirmed Roe, uh, and did so by considering the stare decisis factors. So Casey now becomes a precedent on precedent. All right? That means precedent on precedent is, like, even more of a chance that I will not vote to overturn Roe v. Wade. And that's Brett Kavanaugh saying that in 2018, when in 2022, he did the opposite. So that was Brett Kavanaugh committing perjury. Now, a chief justice dies just a month before the election of 2020. Does Mitch McConnell say it's too close to the election to confirm a chief justice? No. Oh, well, this time, I, uh, would need to run the confirmation of the president's choice. That's what's in the constitution. Okay. All right, thanks, Mitch. You liar. He wasn't committing perjury, though, because he wasn't in a confirmation hearing the way that Donald Trump's new pick, Amy Coney Barrett, was on October 13, 2020. People use super precedent differently, okay? The way that it's used in the scholarship and the way that I was using it, and the article that you're reading from was to define cases that are so well settled that no political actors and no people seriously push for their overruling. And I'm answering a lot of questions about Roe, which I think indicates that Roe doesn't fall in that category. And scholars across the spectrum say that doesn't mean that Roe should be overruled. But descriptively, it does mean that it's not a case that everyone has accepted and doesn't call for its overrule. A little bit more squishy there on her answer, but still basically perjury. These are five people that have been placed onto the Supreme Court because they would do the bidding of the rich right wing guys who now are buying stuff, especially for Alito and Thomas. Thomas basically sold out America for a new RV. These people committed perjury in their hearings. And here's what Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, AOC, said before she left town. When everybody left town this last week, she writes, the Supreme Court has become consumed by a corruption crisis beyond its control. Today's ruling. Monday's ruling about the immunity of the president. Today's ruling represents an assault on american democracy. It is up to Congress to defend our nation from this authoritarian capture. I intend on filing articles of impeachment upon our return. She's not the only one in Congress speaking out against the Supreme Court. Finally, in a statement, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries vowed that House Democrats will engage in aggressive oversight and legislative activity with respect to the Supreme Court to ensure that the extreme far right justices in the majority are brought into compliance with the Constitution. He goes on to say today's Supreme Court decision to grant legal immunity to a former president for crimes committed using his official power sets a dangerous precedent for the future of our nation. Chuck Schumer says, this is a sad day for America and a sad day for our democracy. The very basis of our judicial system is that no one is above the law. Treason or incitement of an insurrection should not be considered a core constitutional power afforded to the president. A, uh, duh. But the right wing says different. Okay, what if Joe Biden, uh, decides to call SEAL team six against his political rival? Will you try and have the DOJ go after him after he's no longer president? No, of course not. Because you'd stick to what you say, right? Because that's what you always do. No, no, that's never what they do. AOC saying articles of impeachment. I'm saying I hope they go to perjury. For what? I just played you all five of these nominees, four of them very strongly, and then Amy Coney Barrett as well. Uh, it's not even an argument as to whether they committed perjury. There's proof. These recordings and then their vote in 2022. All right, that's proof that they committed perjury. They did exactly what they said they would not do in their confirmation hearing with the Senate. AOC could very well call all five of these people, certainly four of the five, to be impeached for committing perjury. And I hope that's what she does. I'm not sure what she's gonna try and impeach them for, because she's talking about this immunity ruling. She's not talking about the abortion ruling, the Roe v. Wade ruling. I hope you enjoyed that deep dive into the Supreme Court. Going back in history, even though I knew all that had happened, it's still astounding to just listen to it back to back, to listen to all of their lies, back to back. Donald Trump came out and he said that Project 2025, no, I've never heard of it. I have no idea. No idea who's involved with that. I don't know anything about it. I don't know anything about it. But there's, of course, video of him shaking hands with this guy, Kevin Roberts, who's the president of the Heritage foundation, and he's one of the main authors of Project 2025. Here's what he said on tv. Let me speak about the radical left. You and I have both been parts of faculties and faculty senates, and understand that the left has taken over our institutions. The reason that they are apoplectic right now, the reason that so many anchors on MSNBC, for example, are losing their minds daily, is because our side is winning. And so I come full circle in this response and just want to encourage you with some substance that we are in the process of the second american revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be okay. What do you think of that? What do you. We are in the midst of a second american revolution which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be bloodless. Tons of lying. Whole lot of lying going on in the barn. Who's bar? My bar. Anyway? Yes. That guy, that monster, that Nazi. Trump knows him well. He is a far right. Uh, Nazi is the best way to describe him. Before he was part of the Heritage foundation, he was also part of the Texas Public Policy foundation, which did things like, we need to explain the forgotten moral case for fossil fuels by rejecting the scientific consensus on climate change. All, uh. Right, that's nuts. That's this guy. And I want to comfort you in pointing out America is getting scared to death right now of Project 2025. It has been exposed by this guy. I was going to play you a clip of this guy last week, but I didn't. I ran out of time he said other scary stuff more than a week ago on tv, on MSNBC, they want to deport up to 12 million people. That would absolutely decimate the economy. At the very least, they want to build concentration campsite. Yes, you heard that correctly. They want to take away the licenses of, uh, broadcasting companies like MSNBC. They want to. They want to take away their license to be on the air. They want to be able to prosecute. Donald Trump keeps saying, can we send them to Gitmo? Why can't we shoot these people? Why can't we shoot these people? And he would be the leader of their whole. I mean, so, all right, Trump is bad enough. Project 2025 would turn this into 1930s Nazi Germany. No, that's not an exaggeration. This Texas Public policy foundation has been getting tons and tons of money by Koch industries. I'm not going to explain who they are, if you haven't heard of them. But a lot of oil companies, of course, they have tons and tons of money. Revenues of $17.7 million in a year. That was in 2019. And, uh, so much of their b's is, you know, this right wing christian nationalist crap. It's very much like the Nazis, if not exactly like the Nazis. That's what we're. That's what we, uh. If you. If you don't want to vote for Biden, then vote against this, which means you gotta vote for Biden or whoever is in there with the d behind their name. I'm not sure if that's gonna end up being Kamala Harris or not. I love Kamala Harris. She spoke yesterday or the day before, and it was so eloquent. She's great. I would love for her to be our president. She was the candidate, out of all of the people in 2020. She was the one that I was rooting for, and I was very glad that Biden chose her to be the vice president. I would be elated if she was the nominee in November. So, Biden, Kamala Harris, my dog tucker, a cat I saw walking down the street the other day in town, I would vote for any of them, because we need to vote against Project 2025 and these Nazis like Kevin Roberts. And I hope. I don't think there's much chance Kevin Roberts is going to find out about this particular podcast and hear me say that, but I sure hope he does. Kevin Roberts, you're a Nazi, and America is going to reject you and your nazi ways in a big way this November. We're keeping everybody together here. We're looking at real information. We're not looking at polls. There's really no reason to keep watching CNN or NBC or CB's or there's really no reason because they're going off of B's. They're going off of information that is not true, and they're ignoring information that is true about Donald Trump. Why are none of them talking about his cognitive issues? Why are none of them talking about his lies? Why is the republican party not asked him to step aside? Why has nobody asked him to step aside? So on this show, we go with real information. If you want to find out what's really going on, listen to the show. Get your friends to listen to this show. We're going with stuff like the 13 keys to the White House. That has been correct every election since 1864. That's what we base things on here. The head of the Princeton, Poland consortium had to eat a bug on tv because he was so wrong. Because they're always wrong. The polls are, uh, always wrong. Now, maybe we could rely on them in the 1970s or eighties, but they have been wrong for a long time. They don't include Gen Z. And that's why. Wow. Gen Z showed up and voted. Who would have thought? Well, those of us who listen to this show, we know that because we look back to the last. How many elections that have happened since 2016, especially with these special elections. And Gen Z turns out, wow. In record numbers. Young people have never turned out this much before. Oh, except they did last month. Oh, and the month before that. Okay, let's look at what's happening. Let's look at what's really going on. And that's what we can take solace in. And then we keep working moving forward. Find out who your local candidates are. Give them $5, give them $500. Go door knocking with them. Buy a pin and wear it to the grocery store. And if you can't or don't want to do any of those things, just vote. That's all you have to do. And project 2025 will be gone. They'll just have to stop doing it. It will not come to fruition in this country. We will remain the american democracy instead of Nazi Germany. All right, so thanks again so much for listening. We've gone over time again, but, uh, please listen to last week's episode where I go into more detail about some of this stuff. There's just us. Uh, there's so much detail that we do need to comb through because they're just putting out so much b's, uh, on corporate media right now. That we've got a. We've got to really start talking about the real information going on. So thank you so much for taking the time to go through it with me here on a satellite view. I will speak at you next week. You've been listening to a, uh, satellite view with Todd Mickelson. Go to Todd for links and more information.
