Fact Check: "The White Sox won the World Series in 2023."

What We Know

The claim that "The White Sox won the World Series in 2023" is incorrect. The 2023 World Series was contested between the Texas Rangers and the Arizona Diamondbacks. The series began on October 27, 2023, and concluded on November 1, 2023, with the Texas Rangers emerging victorious in five games, marking their first World Series title in franchise history (2023 World Series). The Chicago White Sox, on the other hand, did not qualify for the postseason in 2023, finishing the regular season with a record that did not allow them to compete for the championship (Chicago White Sox).

Analysis

The evidence clearly indicates that the Texas Rangers won the 2023 World Series, not the Chicago White Sox. The Rangers defeated the Diamondbacks, which was a significant event as it marked the first World Series title for the franchise since its inception in 1961 (2023 World Series). Furthermore, the White Sox's absence from the postseason is a critical point that contradicts the claim. The White Sox have had a tumultuous season, failing to secure a playoff spot, which is corroborated by multiple sources detailing their performance throughout the year (Chicago White Sox).

In assessing the reliability of the sources, both the Wikipedia entry on the 2023 World Series and the Chicago White Sox page provide factual and verifiable information. Wikipedia is generally a reliable starting point for information, especially when cross-referenced with other reputable sources. The ESPN list of World Series winners also confirms the Rangers' victory in 2023 (MLB World Series Winners).

Given the clear and consistent information from these sources, the claim that the White Sox won the World Series in 2023 is unfounded and easily disproven.

Conclusion

Verdict: False
The claim that the Chicago White Sox won the World Series in 2023 is false. The Texas Rangers won the championship, and the White Sox did not qualify for the postseason. This clear discrepancy in the facts leads to the conclusion that the original claim is incorrect.

Fact Check: Transcript 00:00 For all of their strutting about protesting that they support democracy. Not a one of them gave a damn about democracy when they pulled Biden off the ballot and dropped Kamala Harris in without a single Democrat primary voter voting for him. And you know what? Not a single Democrat is here today because not a single one of them gives a damn about the fact that they lied to the American people for four years. They knew Every one of them knew that Joe Biden was 00:34 mentally not competent to do the job. The White House Press Secretary. She knew when she stood in front of the American people and lied over and over and over again and they're not here because they can't defend themselves. It wasn't a surprise for four years the White House hid President Biden from Republican Senators. Would not let him meet with us. He served 40 years in this body. We all know him. And they deliberately lied and by the way Jake Tapper had a bombshell 01:08 book exposing the incredible scandal that Biden's mental decline was covered up by Jake Tapper. There's a Yiddish word and that truly is how dare we lie and cover up what we all knew. Now I have been asked literally a thousand times by Texans. Was running the country? And I'm going to give 01:40 you the most terrifying answer. I don't know. I genuinely don't know. And not a single Democrat here cares. The most telling proof of Biden's decline came with the signature of the president. The symbol of executive authority that was outsourced to a machine. Mister Wald you're a lawyer who served in the White House Council's Office. You understand the gravity of presidential action. Does the president's signature 02:10 carry legal and constitutional weight under article two? Yes. Is the act of signing an executive order or signing a law or granting a pardon a delegable duty of the president. Uh so in that opinion in 2005 from OLC they said essentially that an autopin could be used by a subordinate but the president's determination as to sign the document can never be delegated. Can that authority 02:41 be transferred to a staff or a machine without the president's explicit authorization? Never. And if you look at the statistics, the statistics are stunning. In 2021, President Biden issued 78 executive orders. None were signed with an auto pen. That first year the presidency, Biden I suppose was relatively lucid and 78 executive orders he signed by hand. The second year, however, we see the auto pen emerged. 03:15 The first auto pen executive order was issued on 15th 2022. After that day 100% of the executive orders issued in 2022 were signed by an autopen. In 2023 Biden issued twenty-four executive orders. 16 were auto penned. In 20twenty-four Biden issued 19. 14 were auto penned. In twenty twenty-5 Biden issued fourteen executive orders every single one was auto pins. 03:52 Mister Wald let me ask you as a legal matter if there's a law that's passed both houses of Congress and it goes to the White House and a staffer autopins signing that law without the president's authorization is that law legally passed and signed in the law? No. If an executive order is issued and a staffer autopins it without the president's authorization, is that executive order legally binding? No. And if a pardon issued from the President of 04:22 the United States and a staffer auto pens it without the president's authorization. Is that pardon legally binding? No. Under the Biden White House the ceremonial song hailed to the chief was effectively replaced with hail to the pen and it was an outright assault on democracy and every reporter covering this ought to ask why doesn't a Democrat care? We heard about the moral responsibilities of a staffer. 04:54 How about an elected senator who knows damn well that if we get into a war and Iran is preparing to fire a nuclear weapon at the United States that the commander in chief is busy playing with his jello and he's not competent to defend ourselves and every member of the cabinet, the chief of staff, the press secretary, and the members of Congress who lied about this on a daily basis with the press's complicity. They are all responsible for subverting democracy. Angry Ted Cruz is perhaps my favorite version of 05:27 Ted Cruz because when he's getting history on it, you might want to take a listen. He is definitely angry that there's some acting going on here in the line of hail to the chief change from hail to the pen that's not a smart line but it's still the truth. The truth is in this video right here ladies and gentlemen. The change in the way Joe Biden used the autopin is a steady upward moving graph from twenty twenty-one to the end of his presidency in early twenty 05:58 twenty-five. Okay? That is a noticeable issue. And if he does not directly authorize the autopin we've got We've got grounds to go through every single law Joe Biden has signed that way and perhaps ignore them all together. There's way more evidence behind the autopin theory and hopefully it ends up sticking. I I hope it does because I think this is in a way worse than the Bill Clinton perjury case. Cuz Bill 06:28 Clinton basically lied before Congress lied directly to the American people lied under oath. This is worse in a way. Because lying under oath means that you know where the truth is and you're just hoping to get away with it and there's a direct law. This however Signing with the auto pin is more opaque. It is an ultimate he said she said and you're dont rate the opinion oo just fact if there is

Fact Check: Some insane breaking news coming out of the White House as we are now learning that President Joe Biden 73 days between his transition of him leaving office and President Donald Trump becoming president there was a discrepancy in which they actually gave out over $73 billion dollars in loans to small and medium businesses. However, they can't find the list of who they gave the money to. They are now doing congressional hearings on what happened to the money whether or not the money was actually ever given to any 00:32 small or medium businesses. Of course, Joe Biden had no comment as he doesn't recall any of those situations going at the time and now is admitted that his staff was using an auto pen in order for them to sign whatever they need from him in order to move forward and that these loans were likely a part of that auto pen
