yesterday the far right washington times newspaper reported that at the mike lindell cyber symposium akota, mr. lindell's own hand picked cyber expert, some cyber security guy he hired to review his uncontrovertible date from the election. this guy in question is cited in some of the crazy trump election lawsuits. he's one of the people giuliani and company relied on for their affidavits that they waved around saying they had proof of the fraud. this cyber security fraud is definitely someone on team wing nut. he is mike lindell's hand-picked expert to reveal this data. his supposed proof. all about the election being stolen. the conservative washington times newspaper is now reporting that that picked by mike lindell to look at the data. he looked at the data and -- the word you're looking for is sad trombone. wah-wah. you see the headline there from "the washington times." exclusive. the cyber expert says his team can't prove mike lindell's claims that china hacked election. here's the lead in "the washington times." the cyber expert on the red team hired by mypillow ceo mike lindel

because mike lindell has the obvious incontrovertible proof that trump won. mr. is also specifically the personal source of the claim that former president trump reportedly repeats to others and himself believes, lindell is the source of the claim trump will be reinstated as president this month. in august 2021. that prediction that trump will be reinstated, that among other things led to this recent homeland security briefing that was sent to police organizations around the country this week warning them of a renewed potential for political violence in our country by trump supporters who are in fact expecting trump to be reinstated as president this august because the guy from the pillow company says it's true and trump believes it. therefore, why should not we all believe it? beyond him predicting that trump would be reinstating in august, the bull's-eye he has painted is actually getting smaller and more sharply defined. this week he convened this cyber symposium in south dakota in which he said he would finally reveal the incontrovertible data. the right wing

election officials, secretaries of state, judges or even donald trump's own attorney general, mike lindell'ssion is the same. they are all wrong. all these county officials are lying? >> misconstrued because they don't realize what happened. >> reporter: lindell said his information comes from multiple sources, all of them super secret. he claims he spent millions on the project and also claims he will give five million dollars to anyone who proves him wrong. >> reporter: mike, you can make up anything. >> no, no, no. this is where you're wrong. we're giving it to the cyber people, we're going to give them the state, georgia. they can take it apart. >> reporter: could possibly be the victim of a scam here? >> are you worried about me? worried about old mike? god bless you. >> reporter: here's what we're worried about. that what you are doing is mistakenly or deliberately destroying the confidence in the legitimate elected president of the united states and fostering what could be damage to this country. >> i never said that about biden or the democrats ever. never. >> reporter: through this

and showing him what cnn uncovered in our own investigation. >> the mypillow guy. >> reporter: mike lindell, yes, the mypillow guy is convinced china hacked the election, donald trump really won, and lindell has the absolute proof. >> they did it in all the states. >> they changed the votes? >> every single state. >> and you have the proof? >> yes. >> that will show -- the ackpal exchange of votes? >> yep, 100%. 100%. >> reporter: it is, of course, complete nonsense. despite every piece of so-called evidence lindell has presented so far, three videos, a lawsuit, screen shots he sent to cnn. there's still no proof that the election was hacked, and that's according to two dozen cyber experts and election officials contacted by cnn. >> 100% evidence. >> reporter: when lindell released his so-called evidence, in videos like this, fact checkers quickly found out it was evidence of nothing. these images are just publicly available voter data, scrolling across the screen, not proof of election hacking. so lindell changed his story saying now the real evidence will be revealed at a cyber symposium

all you have to do is come to the symposium. >> reporter: for weeks mike lindell has been touting hisd cyber symposium in sioux falls, south dakota, claiming that he would present data that would prove to the world china hacked the 2020 election and stole it from donald trump. >> if you are correct, if you have that evidence -- >> forget about the evidence. if i'm right, then china took our country. do you care? would that bother you? would that bother you? >> but you have to show the proof. >> would that bother you? >> of course it would. >> then why do you think i keep going, do you think i like getting attacked? >> reporter: lindell invited the media and cyber experts to the symposium. we went along and brought a world renowned cyber and voting machines expert. if you see something in there, if you see some data that seems legit, that does show that there was some sort of fraud, you are ready to investigate it, right? >> absolutely. i will follow the evidence wherever the evidence will go. >> re >> this was an attack, the whole technology was attacked. >> reporter: so the conferenc

something like mike lindell and lynn wood. they have enormous sway in the community.hey are trusted figures, truth tellers and when they say things like trump is going to be reinstated by august, people -- people listen to that. you know, lindell is already kicking the can a little bit. it might be september because it's taking so long to expose the fraud. might be a little bit longer. i would assume there's going to be more can kicking and whatever happens with arizona is a whole disaster because that audit is a joke and nothing is going to be found. but they're going to need to answer for the fact that they have been drifting off of the fake audit, selling $40 copy of the movie of how it was all rigged and at some point the check is going to have to be cashed, but there's no money there. so, you know, that's where i worry about some of these people who have gotten a little bit unstable thinking the deadline has come, the deep state got into it, they stopped it. i'm going to have to get in there myself and take matters into our own hands and not some crap that mike l

mike lindell, seen here not buying crack.ll is being sued by dominion voting systems for $1 billion for his lies about election fraud. but he's not giving up. this week, he held a live-streamed cyber symposium, for which he hired a cyber expert "red team" and gave them what he said was 37 terabytes of irrefutable evidence that hackers broke into election systems using intercepted "packet captures." packet captures, of course, is a technical term that you might know by their street name, "pillow cases." ( laughter ) well, the cyber results are in: lindell's team announced that they can't prove his claims that china hacked the election. when asked why, they said, "we were handed a turd." ( laughter ) ( applause ) and that turd lost the election. ( laughter ) ( cheers and applause ) cnn called out lindell's cyber-nonsense, and that didn't sit too well with one attendee. >> ladies and gentleman, i'm not a computer guy. i don't know what most of this stuff means. but i've been researching this election since november 3. but the cn

mike lindell, the pile owe guy, has become really one of the loudest proponents of the big lie.ths he has been making very specific, but very serious claims that china hacked america's voting systems and flipped the election, stole it from trump. and he, for weeks, has been inviting the media, cyber experts here to south dakota where he said he would show data that would prove these false claims, but we haven't seen any such proof, any such data. and i want to show you, just to give you an example of the sort of carry-on that's going on here. take a look at this clip from yesterday of one of the speakers on the main stage. >> ladies and gentlemen, i'm not a computer guy. i don't know what most of this stuff means, but i've been researching this election since november 3rd. but the cnns of the world, you guys need to stop reporting this and start fact checking it. >> reporter: yeah. so, always a red flag if at a cyber symposium, one of the main speakers is saying, i'm not a computer guy, but. there are some cyber experts here, and there are cyber experts we have been speaking to

with this huge lawsuit now proceeding against them and mike lindell, former president trump's lawyers and his surrogates that have been pushing these trash theories for him are facing increasingly serious consequences for doing so. even as the department of homeland security warns that the consequences for the country might be more political violence this month. for president trump, of course, there's been no negative consequences whatsoever for soaking any of the stuff, but everybody working on his behalf as seen things get significantly more dire. so, like i said, a lot of news still unfolding over the course of the night tonight. there is lots to get to. stay with us. to. stay with us and ask your doctor about biktarvy. biktarvy is a complete, one-pill, once-a-day treatment used for h-i-v in certain adults. it's not a cure, but with one small pill, biktarvy fights h-i-v to help you get to and stay undetectable. that's when the amount of virus is so low it cannot be measured by a lab test. research shows people who take h-i-v treatment every day and get to and stay undetectable can

has just ruled that a multi-billion lawsuit against rudy giuliani, sidney powell, and mike lindell will be allowed to proceed. this is from the company dominion, who was at the center of the election conspiracy theories. but with this huge lawsuit now proceeding against them, former president trump's lawyers and his surrogates that have been pushing these trash theories for him are facing increasingly serious consequences for doing so. even as the department of homeland security warns that the consequences for the country might be more political violence this month. for president trump, of course, there's been no negative consequences whatsoever for stoking any of this stuff. but people working on his behalf have seen things get more dire. there's lots to get to tonight, stay with us. then i discovered sofi. completely changed my life. lower interest rate. my principal is going down. sofi is a place where you can start to tackle those money goals today. compared to where i was three years ago, i'm kinda killing it. ♪♪ for people living with h-i-v, keep being you. and ask your doctor abo

this cyber security election forum going on in south dakota held by one of the former allies, mike lindellve that the election was stolen and it is something that a lot of people truly believe. and it's something that's talked about on certain trump -- pro-trump podcasts and things like that. so security officials really are concerned about the real threat. and the former president isn't helping things himself. yesterday he issued a statement where he said he spoke with the parents of ashley babbit, who was a trump supporter who stormed the capital on 6th, she was also an air force veteran but she believed in all these conspiracy theories and thought these things were true. and the former president has made calls to find out who the capitol police officer was that killed her on that day. >> there's an effort certainly to make her a martyr in that move. and donald trump is not going to be reinstated as president tomorrow. what do you make of the arguments from seasoned attorneys one of whom a federal prosecutor, they're making to avoid accountability for these false claims of fraud fuelling
