(02:43) c the president is officially elected and the votes are certified and that certification gives that man the presidency but more importantly his concession speech from the opponent is what gives him legitimacy and a transfer without drama but two times in our history presidents did not concede the election why well not because they were trying to be rambunctious but just like al gore they knew that something was off and they were not ready to give up a fight with a margin less than one percent in all the battleground states (03:28) according to the law georgia is going to be recounted we do not have any official result anywhere in the nation pennsylvania is going to be recounted arizona is still being counted nevada is going to be recounted we have a total recount coming now after that recount the president has legal options to go to court to prove irregularities so let's just say that none of that works and the president still will not concede the election the constitution article amendment 12 of the united states constitution gives you the answer of what will happen (04:15) if they cannot rule on it in the court and he does not concede and there's no certification of an undisputable majority then we go to the house of representatives when we get to the house of representatives there are 475 members of that house the election is null and void at that point it's like it never happened the numbers do not matter any longer this has happened twice in history i got a feeling it's fixed to happen again at that moment the election becomes obsolete and now the president will be elected by the congress (04:59) the house of representatives now immediately that that strikes fear in the heart of a conservative because guess who controls the house the democrats but not so fast the constitution goes on to say in that article that each state in the congress gets one vote not each representative each state gets one vote for the president well there are 50 states and the house of those 50 37 are republican at that moment a republican congress will officially constitutionally vote in the next president why do you think donald trump (05:51) has not conceded he knows these things that i'm telling you he understands that there was illegitimate votes cast he understands that votes are still going on now he may get tired of the fight i don't know like i don't think he is though but he does have a constitutional remedy to his dilemma this is going to be interesting to watch but remember hillary clinton told joe biden do not concede no matter what and why did she tell him that because she knows what i'm telling you and so joe biden has won a few battleground (06:36) states which less than one percent those are automatic recounts we will not have a winner until we have a certification if we can't get a certification that's not contested in the courts it will go to the house of representative just before inauguration day now you might know why the panther is getting real quiet in the background wait for the attack i'm not saying that's how it's going to go but the constitution foresaw this the constitution made a way for an illegitimate election to be overturned in the house of representatives so class (07:18) is dismissed now you know the truth
