Midterm Elections Delayed? Mark Cook On The Enemy’s Control of our Elections. B2T Show Oct 5, 2026

Show Notes

Travel and the Guest

• Rick B2T just returned from Open the Heavens in Branson, a Mondo interview at the Jim Bakker studios about the FaithNFreedom Network, and the Storm Summit, where he met Mark Cook.
• The new campaign is Take Back the Air at takebacktheair.com. The second hour is PraiseNPrayer. His lower-third graphic was not loading.

Trump Says U.S. Voting Is Corrupt

• Trump contrasted Brazil’s same-day count of about 125 million votes with weeks-long counts in Detroit, Philadelphia, California, and other U.S. places. He said voting in America is corrupt.
• Rick B2T said delays give time to match inflated voter rolls to selection machines so a fake result can pass an audit. Officials never go back to the paper ballots. He put the cheat methods at about 15.
• Captured counties need a secretary of state, an attorney general, and a corrupt governor. He said George Soros funded secretary of state and attorney general races in swing states for that reason.
• If voting is not delayed, it has to be too big to rig. He read Trump’s post as a hint something big could come at the end of October. If Trump loses power, he said, patriots and Trump’s family could be jailed.

Maricopa, Runbeck, and Christian Turnout

• A vendor mailed more than 3,000 midterm ballots early in Maricopa County. Rick B2T called Maricopa the Q-drop pillar of election fraud and tied it to Republican-side fraud.
• Q drop 2429 from November 2018 shows a huge Arizona governor margin next to a Democratic senator win of about 32,000, with a Maricopa swing of about 350,000 votes. The vendor is Runbeck, also named with Dominion and secretary of state offices in a 2022 drop. Search site: QAG News.
• Muslim turnout in 2024 was about 80 percent of registered Muslim voters. Christian turnout was about 56 percent of voting-age adults. He blamed the Johnson Amendment for silent pastors, noted Democrats removed God from their platform in 1971, and said Jesus did confront political and religious power.

California, an Election Sting, and Bad Polls

• Steve Hilton was within about 5.5 points in California with nearly 14 percent undecided. Rick B2T said the state’s election control makes the poll meaningless.
• He expects military operations and tribunals before honest elections, hopefully by 2028. Mailing ballots to non-citizens is a federal crime he says happened in 2022 and 2024. He asked if 2026 is the “great election sting.”
• 107 suggests a late-October pause. Juan O’Savin has said the president may delay the election so it looks less like a coup. Rick B2T called many polls suppression polls and said Fox’s 2020 election desk was led by a Hillary Clinton supporter. AI will make fraud harder to track.

Illegal Voting, Follow the Pen, and Jack Smith

• The DOJ charged 16 more non-citizens for illegal voting and fake registration. Rick B2T said most illegal immigrants do not vote, but votes get assigned through dead, moved, and fake names on inflated rolls.
• Jeffrey Peterson pointed to “Follow the pen.” QAG News shows eight drops, starting at 1415. Catherine Herridge, then at CBS and now independent, is tied to those posts. A drop says the attacks will get worse and they are losing control.
• Declassified Plasmic Echo records show the FBI Washington Field Office using a pen register on Susie Wiles’s phone, including March 2023 reviews of calls with lawyers, campaign staff, a Trump Organization line, and advisers such as Kash Patel. Rick B2T called it treason.
• Jack Smith was shown in an anti-Trump shirt at an anti-Trump Springsteen concert backed by an anti-Trump nonprofit and billionaire.

Trump’s Lion Video, Russia, and the New York Times

• Julie Donuts highlighted Trump reposting a lion video tied to Q drop 3028, “we are in control,” and 7:30 p.m. EST lining up with 1933 military time. The clip includes Letitia James saying she is ready to seize Trump’s assets. Runtime is about 1:48.
• Ripcord asked, “Do you trust the military?” after a New York Post report on a suspected Russia plague outbreak. A new NIH deal gives the Department of War a larger biodefense role. Q drop 521 says not everything will be clean, a scare may be necessary, and patriots are in control.
• Trump said the Times blackened a photo of Trump National Doral to make it look ruined, and falsely claimed a packed Ohio rally was not full. He named Peter Baker and Maggie Haberman and said the paper’s numbers are down because people do not trust it.

Obamacare, Gas, and Nike

• Enrollment in the ACA more than doubled under Biden-Harris. Mahek Cook of American Frontier Strategies said lax rules let “fraudulent fixers” steal identities and collect checks. A chart showed 12 million enrollees in 2021.
• Trump said pump prices are a refinery problem, not the Strait of Hormuz. Rick B2T pointed to closed California refineries and Russian refineries hit in the Ukraine war. He said 17 warned about this months earlier.
• Nike stock hit a 12-year low. CEO Elliott Hill told staff to put sport back at the center. Rick B2T still wants a boycott until the reform is real.

Who Mark Cook Is

• Gus was trying to reach Mark Cook, who had confirmed an hour earlier. While waiting, Rick B2T read a Grok profile.
• Mark Cook is a 40-plus-year cybersecurity and IT professional in network design, forensics, penetration testing, root-cause work, software, and data recovery. After early access to forensic images of voting machines, he went full time on election integrity.
• He founded the Hand Count Roadshow at handcountroadshow.org. He co-engineered the Accountable hand-count method, which uses scanning and video to add citizen oversight. He also worked on the Progressive Election Platform, the People’s Executive Order, and the American Citizens Declaration of Independence from Election Manipulation.
• The profile says he treats the cheating as designed, not as a mistake. Rick B2T tied that to Venezuela under Chavez in 2004, Smartmatic, Dominion, and related code in ES&S and Hart machines. He said the chips come from China and are assembled in Taiwan, and that virtual-machine tools in the chip can change results after shutdown.
• He said the same machines that stole 2020 are still in place. Making it harder may be how an election sting catches people in the act, because arrests follow the crime, not the plan. He said 107 thinks late October could be used to pause the election and arrest riggers. Early voting in some states starts in about a week.
• Cook started software as a child, ran a major bulletin board at 12, and launched an IT company at 13. His stated mission is verifiable consent of the governed. He says a transparent election is the only non-violent way to settle political fights. Rick B2T said the other side would rather risk civil war than give up the machines.

Interview: Champaign County and Elections That Belong to the People

• Mark Cook joined from Champaign County, Illinois, about six hours into a local presentation. He apologized for being late.
• He said wrong ballots went out, along with other discrepancies he could not share yet. Elections run by government and corporations leave citizens blind. That is dangerous because elections belong to the people.
• The problems may be mistakes or intentional. Either way, he said the county is in the middle of an election with trust already broken. He was headed to Davenport, Iowa, checked the road-show requests, and Champaign was the first county on his route. The group was watching the show live.
• Rick B2T thanked him for putting his life on the line against people who do not want the machines and voter-roll problems exposed.

Interview: Faith, the Devil, and a Simple Fix

• Cook said the devil is trying to make his life miserable, but he can smile because he believes they win in the end. He said he enjoys beating the devil.
• He said people are finally seeing that stolen elections sit upstream of many other problems. The fix is citizens counting their own ballots and getting their own results.
• He said the country gets another 250 years when people stop letting machine learning, government, or private companies run elections. He does not plan the route. He waits for a door to open. Something very bad and costly happened the day before. He does not know why yet, but he said hard things build thick skin.

Interview: What the Road Show Shows

• Cook tells his own story: a normal kid from a small mountain town who started a company at 13, loves tech and mechanical and electrical engineering, and takes systems apart.
• He has spent six years gathering evidence of how manipulation works, and he wants people to see what he sees: a system some people want to control, and that the people should control.
• Two full-stop problems: citizens cannot guarantee that only eligible voters cast ballots, and they cannot guarantee that the totals match the will of the voters.
• Local officials cannot do it either. A good county clerk still cannot verify the system. Most people trust clerks who are not able to check what they think they are checking. If the system is broken, it has to go.

Interview: Mail Ballots, Machines, and False Security

• Cook agreed that dishonest actors use inflated rolls, harvested ballots, and filled-out ballots. A county can be honest and still be beaten by ballots mailed in from outside.
• A ballot in the mail does not prove who filled it out. Signature checks, even if done legally, still do not prove who voted. He said signature verification mainly gives a false sense of security.
• If the vendor is a bad actor, tabulators are easy to manipulate because no one can see the source code. The only check is a hand count before or after the machine. He prefers before. Counties will not allow it.
• He asked why officials fear a citizen hand count if the machines are perfect. Hidden systems mean there is something to hide.

Interview: Why the Information Is Not Reaching Trump

• Rick B2T mentioned Patrick Byrne, 107, and the Storm Summit, and asked why Trump has not been more aggressive. Executive Order 17, a page-one order Cook helped draft, was broken up and mostly never pushed through.
• Cook said every try to get his evidence to people with influence has been blocked. He needs big voices to help. He said the people who built this system over decades do not plan to give elections back.
• He said government is supposed to be an output of elections. Elections are how people pick who serves and what laws they live under. When others steal that, they pick the government and the laws. He called that slavery, and said reclaiming elections is how people stop being slaves.

Interview: The Dominion Database Back Door

• Cook offered to show the Dominion image from Tina Peters’s case. He could not talk about some other systems he has seen. He said every electronic voting system runs on a computer, and a computer can be changed by someone who knows how, with no one the wiser.
• On a Windows start menu he found Microsoft SQL Server tools, including SQL Server Management Studio, which he called a back door around the Dominion software into the vote database.
• He clicked Connect with no password and it opened. The databases included the elections. He opened the 2020 Mesa County general election, then the DBO Choice table, and saw ballot choices, including Joe Biden.
• Biden was coded 1 and Trump was coded 2. A stored procedure showed Biden at about 31,000 and Trump at about 56,000, matching Mesa County’s 2020 result.
• He edited the table, swapped the 1 and the 2, and reran the report. It flipped to about 56,000 for Biden and 31,000 for Trump. No password and no error stopped him. Change tracking on that database was set to false, so the system would not log the edit.
• He said this software was in Dominion’s trusted build. People who say it would be tracked are wrong because tracking was off. He said they are angry at Tina Peters because her image was the key that exposed it. He stressed that manipulation did not start in 2020.

Interview: Certification, Testing Labs, and a Standing Offer

• Rick B2T said this looks purposeful, and that certification is a fraud if a system like this can pass. Cook said two testing labs test these systems. Red-team reports about 15 years ago already described changing votes in a database. It was never fixed.
• He said it is either incompetence or malice. Dominion rebranding as Liberty Vote does not change the software. He offered to inspect it and, if it is actually safe, tell the world.

Interview: More Back Doors, and Why Hand Count Wins

• The same labs and certifications have continued for six years after the problems were surfaced. SQL Server Management Studio is not the only door. Another sits in a hidden folder at a DOS prompt. A web server also runs on the voting system on unencrypted port 80 with an open firewall.
• He said a bad actor would want Dominion because there are many ways to change votes unseen. If the labs missed this on Dominion, he asked what they missed on ES&S, Hart, and Unisyn. He said a skilled bad actor could hide manipulation so no lab would see it. Stored procedures are exactly where he would hide algorithms.
• His answer is hand-counted paper ballots, done safely and cheaply. He said there is no honest reason to keep electronic systems that hide manipulation.
• The country did simple, safe, public counts for more than 150 years. Officials say hand counts are not accurate, then use hand counts in logic-and-accuracy tests and risk-limiting audits as the standard for judging the machines. If a hand count is good enough to test the machine, it is good enough to count the votes.
• He said technology should add transparency, such as 4K video and ballot images, not push citizens into a system they cannot see or understand.

Interview: AI, Upgrades, and the Duty to Act Now

• Rick B2T said the midterms are harder to rig, but AI will make fraud harder to detect after the fact. Cook said citizens have found clear signs of manipulation in the little data they could get, but some people claimed they “had it all” when they did not, which hurt the people who do.
• Each time citizens learn a symptom, the next election no longer shows that symptom. Vendors watch what is found and change the systems. He said the rush to upgrade before 2026, often under 10-year contracts, wipes forensic evidence and installs software that hides the cheat better.
• AI plus manipulation would make public verification impossible. He is traveling so people do not feel their only option is violence. He wants a consensus for hand-counted paper ballots, on Election Day, at the precinct, fully decentralized.
• He said kids and grandkids cannot fight this. Failing to reclaim elections now is, in his words, assigning a death sentence to future generations. Rick B2T said the swamp is fighting this as a last stand, because losing selected officials at every level threatens the globalist project.

Interview: Cabal Tactics Evidence Tracker

• Cook previewed a site he planned to release publicly that week: cabal-tactics.handcountroadshow.org. He called it the enemy playbook with evidence attached to every play, more than 1,000 pieces, updated daily.
• The Hand Count Roadshow Cabal Tactics Live Evidence Tracker has a table of contents. Hide All makes it readable. Show All opens the links. Filters can turn confirmed or disputed claims on or off.
• It runs from psychological and influence operations to playing with election results. Early voting and mail voting are covered as tools that make fraud easier. In-person voting on Election Day is the safest.
• He asked for interface suggestions through handcountroadshow.org or on X at Patriot Mark Cook. Rick B2T said the link will be in the show notes.

Interview: Stand Your Ground on Election Day

• Cook said the Maricopa machine shutdown on Election Day was a psyop. It was meant to scare people off Election Day voting and push them to early and mail voting. People should have stayed.
• If a county will not let you vote, he said, file a civil-rights suit. Counties should stock paper, toner, and pens, and plan for a full Election Day crowd.
• He wants citizens to ask clerks how to help, and to work with the county instead of only fighting it. Rick B2T pointed to the on-screen link, handcountroadshow.org, where people can request a visit.

Interview: What Comes Next, and How He Is Funded

• Cook said no one knows if the election will be paused. By January people will know if the country is on a path to another 250 years or if the fight shifts. He is not quitting. He said God has made the mission clear, for more than 300 million people and the children who depend on them.
• He is funding the trip from savings. Diesel was $7.17 a gallon, and the rig gets about 8.5 miles per gallon. No organization or big donor runs him. He keeps going if citizens help keep him on the road.
• If the House and Senate are taken through selection machines, he expects to stay in education mode, because Trump’s last two years get much harder. If elections are paused for hand counts, he is ready to help counties install them. He has already helped counties set up transparent hand counts with ballot images and overhead cameras.
• He has not officially served in uniform. Family members have. He said he is ready to serve however he is called. Rick B2T said he wants Cook’s podcasts and appearances on FaithNFreedomTV.

Interview: Vote, Then the Prayer

• Cook said the easiest way to lose is to stay home. He quoted Pastor Andy Thompson: your vote is your weapon against corruption. Vote in person on Election Day and bring friends.
• A large honest turnout also makes a flipped result easier to spot. He does not believe half the country hates the country. In years of travel he has not found that. He said the people who hate it are a small, loud group.
• Asked for a personal request, he prayed that people would open their eyes and hearts, listen, and see that a transparent count across party lines fixes the problem. He does not talk much about personal trouble. The bad event was a very expensive repair. His furnace does not work, cold weather is coming, and he has a heated blanket but needs the furnace fixed.
• Rick B2T prayed for Cook’s protection, wisdom, sevenfold to a hundredfold provision, a warm vehicle, donations to cover the furnace, angels around him and his team, and truth in elections, media, and the nation. Cook closed: “We only lose if we give up,” and said to do it for the kids and grandkids.

Hand Count Roadshow Links

• handcountroadshow.org has the Hand Count Army pledge, a visit request, election-cop sample notices, a newsletter, a sheriff track, contact, and early-mail memes.
• The new evidence site is cabal-tactics.handcountroadshow.org. Rick B2T said it shows the cabal playbook for holding captured election operations, and that elections and the air both have to be taken back.

PraiseNPrayer

• Missed last Thursday for Open the Heavens. Praise report: meeting Mario Murillo, Joseph Z, and Billye Brim, with many coming onto the FaithNFreedom Network. Worship included “10,000 Reasons,” “Goodness of God,” “This Is How I Fight My Battles,” and “How Great Is Our God,” with Annette reading the verses.
• takebacktheair.com grew out of Ephesians 2 and Habakkuk 2:14. Ellam Awakening may join a future 24/7 music channel. Cloud TV is seriously considering the channels.
• Annette prayed for strength, a new job, the midterms, and Project Children Rescue. Rick B2T lifted up Linda’s requests, Shuri, T. Mitchell’s Wednesday birthday, Mark Cook, Trump’s counsel, and an election too big to rig. Wednesday’s teaching is on Israel. Community: faithnfreedom.social.
