1
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:05,440
Speaker 1: Warning you're about to enter the arena and join the

2
00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:11,959
Speaker 1: Battle to save America with your host Sean Parnell. Welcome

3
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:16,919
Speaker 1: to Battleground Live. Everybody. It is Thursday, and oh boy,

4
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 1: so much going on. Can't wait to talk to you

5
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:24,479
Speaker 1: about it. I was just watching a video of Donald

6
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 1: Trump down at the southern border and what I was

7
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 1: amazed by I have to admit, not surprised, but just amazed.

8
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: Everybody when they visit the border, GOP senators, House members,

9
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 1: any politician, really, they go down there looking like they're

10
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:48,199
Speaker 1: about to go on a survival mission or some African safari.

11
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: They're wearing tactical gear that looks like they bought it

12
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 1: at a out of a military surplus store, and they

13
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 1: still have creases in the pants, and they look they

14
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: look very out of place standing next to border patrol

15
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 1: agents or police officers who patrol the border on the regular,

16
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 1: who actually look good in their tactical gear. So I

17
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 1: was I have to admit I was wondering what Trump

18
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 1: would wear down to the border, and sure enough, he

19
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 1: did not disappoint. He was rocking a full blown suit.

20
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,320
Speaker 1: Well everybody around him was trying to look like they

21
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 1: were going out on a mission in Sub Saharan Africa.

22
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 1: Donald Trump was still rocking his blue suit with the

23
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: red tie, which just gotta love that guy so much.

24
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: To talk about, another mouth breathing communist judge booted Trump

25
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: from the ballot, and yet another state, very very important

26
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 1: in new developments in the fight to secure our elections

27
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 1: here in this country, especially as we approached twenty twenty four.

28
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: Also the fact that Republicans and Democrats used to feel

29
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: very differently about our elections, and of course Hunter Biden

30
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: on Capitol Hill that in so much more we've got

31
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: an hour. So hey, this mouth breathing communist judge from

32
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 1: Illinois kicked President Trump off the ballot. I'm starting to

33
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: think that we might have a radical Democrat judge problem

34
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:16,239
Speaker 1: in this country. And I have long said that Democrat

35
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: judges are an existential threat to this country. Because they

36
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:26,519
Speaker 1: are I'll reiterate that the left puts hardliners and appoints

37
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: hardliners as judges, people that worship at the altar of

38
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 1: progressive politics. They leave the Constitution at home. They don't

39
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 1: care about it. They don't care about laws or norms

40
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 1: or evidence. If there is any sort of case, a

41
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: landmark political case that they can use to advance the

42
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 1: progressive football down the field. Rest assured they are coming

43
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 1: down on the side with the radical left every single

44
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 1: time the right, by contrast, appoints you know, right leaning

45
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: jurists or lawyers who tend to leave their politics at home.

46
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 1: So again, at any given moment, a Republican will cross

47
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: the aisle and rule with a Democrat, but very very

48
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 1: rarely again on landmark political decisions, you ever see the

49
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: left doing the same. And I think this is why

50
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 1: you see here in this country so many ballot challenges

51
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 1: to President Trump. And I'm going to show this up

52
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:34,639
Speaker 1: on the screen just so you all can see it.

53
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: What I'm showing you is is states with suits to

54
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: bar President Trump from the ballot, and they're all color

55
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: coded from blue meaning dismissed, green meaning appeal, red meaning disqualified.

56
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: I mean, whatever the fact is, Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, Colorado, Wyoming, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas,

57
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: and then I mean there are like he states on here, folks.

58
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: And what's so concerning to me is that the left

59
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: in this country, while simultaneously screaming about the disenfranchisement of voters.

60
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: And I know this because I challenged the twenty twenty election.

61
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 1: I've had two cases at the United States Supreme Court,

62
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: multiple cases at the Commonwealth Court here in Pennsylvania, a

63
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: few different cases up at the Democrat controlled Pennsylvania Supreme Court,

64
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 1: all on election integrity. And when I did that, the

65
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: left literally came to my house. They protested, they screamed,

66
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: they called, they threatened my attorneys, one of which actually

67
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,479
Speaker 1: had to remove himself from the case because of those threats.

68
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: And in every single news article out there, what did

69
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 1: you hear? What did you hear? Folks?

70
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 2: Oh, my gosh, Sad par Now and his radical right

71
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 2: wing counterparts are to disenfranchise millions of Pennsylvania voters.

72
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 1: Absolutely ridiculous. Do you like that voice there? Absolutely ridiculous.

73
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: But now here we have a scenario where you have

74
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: Democrats in states, in thirty states across the country that

75
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: are trying to kick President Trump off the ballot. We

76
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: must protect democracy by preventing people from voting for who

77
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: they want. That's basically their logic. But you see the

78
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: hypocrisy there, because, of course you do. And I stumbled

79
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: across this NBC article today because the Democrats are always

80
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: ahead of the curve. You know, I've said for a

81
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 1: long time that the difference between Republicans and Democrats as

82
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: a political party and as it pertains to campaigns is

83
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: Republicans focused almost exclusively on running a good campaign, and

84
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: so that means knocking doors, sending out mailers, doing debates

85
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: on stage with their opponents, spending a lot of money

86
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: to get up on television. The Democrats, now, they focus

87
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: on elections. That's where they're focused. And that's why in

88
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two you had a turnip brain like Fetterman

89
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 1: be able to win in a primary in Pennsylvania, won

90
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: every county in the primary, and then win in a

91
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:35,279
Speaker 1: general election. And then not only that, this is why

92
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 1: he won, he was able to bank over a half

93
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 1: a million mail in votes in the early vote period

94
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:46,039
Speaker 1: while he hit and recovered from a stroke. Democrats won

95
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,720
Speaker 1: that race because they were focused. While Republicans were spending

96
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: tens of millions of dollars on traditional campaign style like

97
00:06:55,680 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: measuring their campaign using traditional metrics, dollars, raised doors, knox

98
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 1: mailer sent the Democrats were just chasing down ballots. Laser

99
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 1: focused on that election in twenty twenty is another good

100
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: example of this, where even at the Pennsylvania Supreme Court level,

101
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: they worked very very very hard to kick the Green

102
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 1: Party candidate off the ballot only at the presidential level,

103
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 1: while simultaneously keeping the Libertarian candidate on the ballot. Now,

104
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: the margin in twenty twenty, even with all of the

105
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: fraud in the first time, rolling out mail in ballots,

106
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:35,239
Speaker 1: a once in a one hundred year pandemic COVID lockdowns,

107
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: I mean a week to count ballots. Even with all that,

108
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 1: the margin in Pennsylvania was only eighty thousand razor thin margin.

109
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: And typically, let me explain this to you, you got Republican, Democrat, Libertarian,

110
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 1: Green Party. Typically Libertarian takes away from the Republican candidate,

111
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 1: Green Party takes away from the Democrat, and they tend

112
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: to balance each other out. But by removing the Libertarian,

113
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: by removing the Green Party candidate from the ballot and

114
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: leaving the Libertarian candidate on the ballot, even the courts,

115
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 1: the Pennsylvania Supreme Court set the tone at the highest

116
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 1: level on the ballot itself to rig it against Trump.

117
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: So you see how all this goes. Democrats don't really

118
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: care about democracy. And I was looking at what the

119
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: Democrats were doing today, Just trying to get a sense

120
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: focusing in my efforts on swing states of course at first.

121
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: But what jumped right out at me this morning was

122
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: this article right on NBC headline, Pennsylvania governor unveil's election

123
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 1: security task force to mitigate threats to the twenty twenty

124
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: four vote. Now, keep in mind the governor in Pennsylvania

125
00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: is Poindexter josh Shapiro, Geek Joshiro, And of course the

126
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:06,719
Speaker 1: article in the actual tweet itself says, Democrat Governor of

127
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 1: Pennsylvania will announce a new election security task force Thursday

128
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: that we'll be put in place. Well, that will put

129
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: in place measures that officials will keep officials hope will

130
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,559
Speaker 1: keep the twenty twenty four vote in the battleground state

131
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:25,839
Speaker 1: free from interference in misinformation. Of course, when we hear misinformation,

132
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: what do we hear? We know it means that they're

133
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 1: protecting the narrative and not the truth, and that this

134
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: task force is going to be laser focused on disenfranchising

135
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: Republicans and preventing people from standing up and saying, wait

136
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 1: a second, there are problems in our elections. Not to mind,

137
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:46,199
Speaker 1: never mind the fact that the guy who is running.

138
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 1: This was an attorney general during twenty twenty, and he

139
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 1: said this. Let me put it up on the screen here.

140
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:58,680
Speaker 1: This is Josh Shapiro on October thirty first, twenty twenty.

141
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,839
Speaker 1: Now again, at the time this, he was the attorney general,

142
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 1: the top cop in Pennsylvania. On October thirty first, twenty twenty,

143
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 1: was three days before the election. Four days before the election,

144
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: he says, if all the votes are added up in Pennsylvania,

145
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:18,439
Speaker 1: Trump is going to lose. That's why he's working overtime

146
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 1: to subtract as many votes as possible from this process.

147
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,679
Speaker 1: For the record, he's zero and six against us in court.

148
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 1: We've protected voting rights. Now ignore the noise vote. That

149
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 1: seems like a pretty damn shore. He seems pretty damn

150
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 1: sure three days, four days before an election, doesn't he? Again,

151
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,319
Speaker 1: At the time, this guy was attorney general. Now he's

152
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 1: the governor. You read it again, If all the votes

153
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 1: are added up in Pennsylvania, Trump is going to lose.

154
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 1: If all the votes are added up in Pennsylvania, Trump

155
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 1: is going to lose. How does he know that? He

156
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: knows it because they've done everything that they can at

157
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 1: every level to rig the process and now they're trying

158
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 1: to do it again. And so from this NBC article,

159
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 1: it says, talking about this Election Security Task Force, they

160
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 1: include the US Attorney's Office for the state's three federal districts,

161
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 1: the State Attorney General's Office, commissioners and election directors across

162
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 1: many of the state's sixty seven counties, the state and

163
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 1: federal Homeland Security departments, the State Police, the state official

164
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: Information Technology and Emergency Management branches, and the Pennsylvania National Guard.

165
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: Al Schmidt, who is a Republican Republican Secretary of State. Oh,

166
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 1: by the way, happened to be a Republican Chair of

167
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 1: elections out in the Philadelphia area, and we all know

168
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 1: how what a disaster Philadelphia was, and not just twenty twenty,

169
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: but almost every single election. So just because he has

170
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: an R next to his name doesn't mean he's going

171
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,079
Speaker 1: to be good for us, we the people. Doesn't exactly

172
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: give you a warm and fuzzy that he's presiding over

173
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:02,679
Speaker 1: Philadelphia and ultiple people since twenty nineteen, including a former

174
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 1: member of Congress, have been charged with voter fraud literally

175
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:13,319
Speaker 1: from Philadelphia. But the Election Security Task Force has included

176
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 1: lawsuits or the efforts to thwart the election, I should say,

177
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:23,559
Speaker 1: have included lawsuits seeking to throw out huge numbers of

178
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 1: absentee ballots, efforts by Trump allies to audit twenty twenty

179
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 1: ballots and access ballots, as well as voting in elections equipment.

180
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 1: They have also involved election officials in some counties who

181
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: have expressed skepticism about Trump's lost to Biden in twenty twenty,

182
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 1: who have at least initially refused in some cases to

183
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 1: certify their county's election results. Now, this is like the

184
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 1: last paragraph in this article, and it's arguably the most

185
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 1: important one. The task Force won't be equipped to deal

186
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:02,199
Speaker 1: with all such potential issues. For example, the slow counting

187
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 1: of ballots in Pennsylvania in twenty twenty, which drew numerous

188
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 1: lawsuits and conspiracy theories. Conspiracy theories from Trump and his

189
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:14,479
Speaker 1: allies is a problem that lawmakers in the divided legislature

190
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: still haven't addressed. So of course that's the most important part.

191
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 1: And I responded to Josh Shapiro on X Today very publicly,

192
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 1: and I said, I hope the Election Security Task Force

193
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: will perform twenty four hours a day, seven days a week,

194
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 1: surveillance of dropboxes. Along with rigorous voter ID requirements, perhaps

195
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 1: even a robust signature verification process, Let's also require that

196
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:45,559
Speaker 1: all mail in ballots be counted before the in person

197
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 1: vote is tabulated. All of this, folks, in any serious

198
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 1: election integrity or election security task force, all of this

199
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 1: would be included. If it's not, then we know, and

200
00:13:58,640 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: we'll know in a couple I mean, I think we

201
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:01,679
Speaker 1: all know the answer to this question. But if it's

202
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: not included, this is just another way for Democrats to

203
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 1: rig the process in their favor. And just so we're

204
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 1: clear when I say, let's require that mail in ballots

205
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: be counted before the in person vote is tabulated. To

206
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 1: tail as old as time, it's what the Democrats do.

207
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: They wait for the in person election day vote to happen.

208
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 1: They identify that. What they do is they wait for

209
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 1: Democrat and Republican same day vote or election day vote

210
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 1: to happen. They compare the margin between the two, and

211
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 1: then they start counting mail in ballots over the course

212
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: of the week, and if they come up short and

213
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 1: can't surpass that margin, they backfill it with mail in ballots. Oh,

214
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 1: by the way, can't be verified. No signal verification. You

215
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 1: got dropboxes everywhere, no postmark requirement. I mean, that's the game, folks.

216
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 1: And so to Republicans, and not just in Pennsylvania. This

217
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: goes for Republicans in every swing state. If you are

218
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 1: in a Republican county controlled by Republican election officials, under

219
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 1: no circumstances should you report your election day vote until

220
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 1: the mail in ballots are counted. No one, no county

221
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 1: should report election day voting until mail and votes are done, done, banked, stamped, approved,

222
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 1: over with that way, Democrats can't pull these tricks. That's

223
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 1: a real simple way to fix this issue. But Democrats

224
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 1: don't because they want to cheat. And there's so much

225
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 1: we've got to get to and I don't want to

226
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 1: belabor the point on elections. You all know where I

227
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 1: stand on this stuff, but got to talk about some

228
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: of the stuff. It's absolutely crazy. But some very unusual

229
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 1: suspects agreed with everything that I was saying to you

230
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 1: right now about elections. They all, I mean so many.

231
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 1: I mean even people that you probably despise today, like

232
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell.

233
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 3: Listen to this, mister President's election day in Kentucky, and

234
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 3: I suspect on this election day, as on many election

235
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 3: days over the last one hundred years or so, in

236
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 3: some areas of my state, people are attempting to buy votes,

237
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 3: sell votes, intimidate voters, and in general distort the election process.

238
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 3: Earlier in my life I taught on a part time basis,

239
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 3: of course, called American Political Parties and Elections. We talked

240
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 3: about with the students the election fraud problems in some

241
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 3: areas of this country. It is clearly not a problem everywhere,

242
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 3: but in certain areas of our country, particularly rural one

243
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 3: party areas in the South, and in certain big cities

244
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 3: in the Midwest and in the North, again, places where

245
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 3: one party tends to dominate, this is an ongoing problem.

246
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,159
Speaker 3: Some have even felt that it might have determined the

247
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 3: outcome of the presidential election in nineteen sixty between Nixon

248
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,919
Speaker 3: and Kennedy, who was much written and said about election

249
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:21,679
Speaker 3: fraud in Chicago. That might well have turned Illinois in

250
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 3: Kennedy's direction rather than in Nixon's. I might say, I've

251
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 3: had my own experience as an election challenger. I recall

252
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,160
Speaker 3: twenty years ago in nineteen sixty seven, in a governor's

253
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 3: race in Kentucky, being dispatched as a challenger to a

254
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 3: one party precinct being threatened with physical harm, watching voters

255
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:46,160
Speaker 3: being intimidated and pushed around. It's a problem that has

256
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 3: persisted in my state. I can recall in nineteen eighty one,

257
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 3: mister President, when I was running for.

258
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 1: I mean unbelievable right. That is, of course, Mitch McConnell,

259
00:17:56,320 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 1: and that ties into the news cycle. Of course Mitch

260
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:03,120
Speaker 1: McConnell is now stepping down. But it wasn't just Mitch

261
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 1: McConnell who used to see things the way that all

262
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:10,880
Speaker 1: of us did. And by the way, it wasn't just Republicans,

263
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 1: it was also Democrats that used to feel this way

264
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 1: about elections, and not just elections. Voting machines.

265
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 4: Listen, all the voting machines.

266
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 5: Every Secretary of State needs to be assisted in making

267
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:28,440
Speaker 5: sure that they are not being hacked and attacked.

268
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 6: I continue to think that our voting machines are too vulnerable.

269
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 7: For Researchers have repeatedly demonstrated that recording machines and other

270
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,120
Speaker 7: voting systems are susceptible to tampering.

271
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 1: Even hackers with limited prior knowledge, tools, and resources are

272
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,359
Speaker 1: able to breach voting machines in a matter of minutes.

273
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 8: In twenty eighteen, electronic voting machines in Georgia and Texas

274
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 8: deleted votes for certain candidates or switch votes from one

275
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 8: candidate to another.

276
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:54,479
Speaker 9: The biggest seller of voting machines is doing something that

277
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 9: violates cybersecurity one oh one directing that you install remote

278
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 9: access software, which would make a machine like that, you know,

279
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 9: a magnet for fraudters and hackers.

280
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 4: These voting machines can be hacked quite easily.

281
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 1: You could easily hack into them.

282
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 10: It makes it seem like all these states are doing

283
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 10: different things, but in fact three companies are controlling that.

284
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 6: It is the individual voting machines that some pose that

285
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 6: pose some of the greatest risks.

286
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 7: There are a lot of states that are dealing with

287
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:27,199
Speaker 7: antiquated machines right which are vulnerable to being hacked.

288
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,919
Speaker 8: The workers were able to easily hack into an electronic

289
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 8: voting machine, it was possible to switch votes.

290
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 10: Forty three percent of American voters use voting machines that

291
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 10: researchers have found have serious security flaws, including back doors.

292
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 4: We know how vulnerable now our systems were.

293
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 11: We know, I know the hackathon that took place last

294
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 11: year where virtually every machine was broken into fairly quickly.

295
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,239
Speaker 5: I actually held a demonstration for my colleagues here at

296
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 5: the Capitol where.

297
00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 1: We so you get the gist. These people are all

298
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 1: disingenuous hacks or dude or maybe just Washington d C.

299
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 1: Is so corrupt that it perverts the soul, it twists

300
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,879
Speaker 1: the soul. Or maybe these people are bought and paid

301
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 1: for by special interests. But clearly something has changed. What

302
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:29,679
Speaker 1: is it? Because, folks, these people would have you believe

303
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 1: that because I ask questions, and because you ask questions

304
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 1: about elections, common sense questions, they would have you believe

305
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 1: that we're all crazy conspiracy theorists. But that couldn't be

306
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 1: further from the truth. We're asking the same questions that

307
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 1: they're asking. Democrats, Republicans. Mitch McConnell back in the nineteen eighties,

308
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:58,120
Speaker 1: for goodness sake, thought the same as we do. Now.

309
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 1: What changed? Why? Why did they change their perspective? Is

310
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 1: there anybody out there in the media willing to ask

311
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 1: these people that very question? And I gotta believe that

312
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:18,439
Speaker 1: you have plenty of time speaking to the media. You

313
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 1: have plenty of time to ask McConnell that question. Because

314
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 1: he's not going to be the minority leader in the

315
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 1: Senate much longer. And now, I will admit I was

316
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 1: a little bit excited when I heard that Mitch McConnell

317
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,880
Speaker 1: was stepping down, because I do believe it's time for

318
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 1: new leadership in the Senate, younger leadership in the Senate,

319
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:44,399
Speaker 1: somebody who puts America first. And I mean that, folks,

320
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 1: That's not just a catchphrase to me. This country is

321
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 1: suffering from from some very serious existential pathologies, and I

322
00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:01,199
Speaker 1: mean what I mean by that. Put bottom line up

323
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 1: front is I don't believe that this country will survive

324
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:08,919
Speaker 1: another four years of Joe Biden. The issues that we

325
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 1: face here at home domestically could sink this ship. And

326
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 1: right now, this country desperately needs leaders that are willing

327
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 1: to stand up, reform the system, and God forbid, put

328
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:27,880
Speaker 1: we the people before anybody else. You know. This whole

329
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 1: issue with the Ukraine is a perfect example. And I'm

330
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 1: supposed to get to this later if especially if we

331
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 1: have time, but the idea that we should be sending

332
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 1: tax dollars to Ukraine and medal in another country while

333
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,399
Speaker 1: Americans are languishing and struggling to put food on the

334
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:47,439
Speaker 1: table for their families here at home just doesn't feel

335
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 1: right to me and any politicians that's willing to send

336
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 1: our hard earned tax dollars to Ukraine to drag out

337
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 1: a war, and a war that will as long as

338
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 1: the longer drags on, the more likely it is that

339
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:06,199
Speaker 1: Americans find themselves on the battlefield keeping the peace. I

340
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 1: just can't get behind any politician that believes that. I

341
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:14,199
Speaker 1: just can't. If you believe that this country is not

342
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 1: going to survive another four years of Joe Biden, then

343
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 1: how could anyone possibly support meddling in a country somewhere else.

344
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 1: You've got to take care of your house. You've got

345
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 1: to get your own house in order before you take

346
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:29,879
Speaker 1: care of somebody else's right, of course you do.

347
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:31,359
Speaker 7: So.

348
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 1: The real question is if we're looking forward, which we

349
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 1: all should be doing, and that's really what the show

350
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 1: is all about. Is you have to ask yourself, who

351
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:46,959
Speaker 1: is going to replace Mitch McConnell. That's the million dollar question.

352
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 1: And should we be optimistic about that replacement? I have

353
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 1: to say, folks, I might have a sliver of hope,

354
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 1: but I am ninety nine percent negative on this, and

355
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:02,399
Speaker 1: I'll tell you why Right now, there are three people

356
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:06,199
Speaker 1: lined up to replace Mitch McConnell, or at least have

357
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:09,440
Speaker 1: whispered about running. One is out said that they're gonna

358
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,639
Speaker 1: want One is definitely running for sure, That's what I

359
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 1: mean by out. But right now it's Thune, Cornyn, and Brasso.

360
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 1: Cornyn has come out and said that he's definitely going

361
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 1: to run for leadership. Thune and Brasso have as well,

362
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 1: and there might be one more person getting in. I've

363
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 1: heard rumblings that there might be one more person. I hope.

364
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,679
Speaker 1: If I'm a betting man, I think that that person

365
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 1: will be Rick Scott. And of the four people that

366
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:44,120
Speaker 1: I just mentioned it, it would be a major win

367
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:48,119
Speaker 1: for all of us if the Senate Minority leader was

368
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:51,399
Speaker 1: Rick Scott. But I just don't think it's gonna happen.

369
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:56,119
Speaker 1: Do you know why? Because in order to be in

370
00:24:56,240 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 1: leadership in any Chamber of govern House of Representatives, or Senate,

371
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,440
Speaker 1: you have to meet two very clear criteria. And I'll

372
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 1: tell you that in a second. But before I do,

373
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 1: I want to ask. I want to ask you do

374
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:13,920
Speaker 1: you remember the story about Kerry Lake from a month

375
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 1: a couple months ago, maybe it was a month ago.

376
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 1: Where she talked about somebody, some rich Republican donor from

377
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 1: the northeast, was going to pay her a large sum

378
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:27,159
Speaker 1: of money to stay out of the Senate primary. Do

379
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:32,159
Speaker 1: y'all remember that, I'm sure you do, and I told

380
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 1: you that that is far more common than you think.

381
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 1: And the reason why that stuff happens. You get these

382
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:45,239
Speaker 1: super super megawealthy people that invest tens of millions, if

383
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 1: not hundreds of millions of dollars on either side of

384
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 1: the aisle to shift policy and shape shape what our

385
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 1: republic looks like. And to them, it's less about Democrat

386
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:05,120
Speaker 1: Republican and far more important to them is control. Can

387
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 1: someone be controlled? Terry Lake was made that offer because

388
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 1: by and large she is seen as somebody that cannot

389
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:18,160
Speaker 1: be controlled, which is ultimately a threat to the uniparty's agenda.

390
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:23,919
Speaker 1: President Trump is also somebody who is seen as uncontrollable.

391
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 1: I think we all know that. I think his staff

392
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 1: knows that. I think as children know that. But you

393
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:33,359
Speaker 1: have to meet two very important criteria if you're going

394
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 1: to be a leader, especially in the Senate. The first

395
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 1: is you have to be controllable. Are you going to

396
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 1: rock the boat? Are you gonna be a team player. Listen, folks.

397
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:53,200
Speaker 1: Having run for Senate and the House back to back,

398
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 1: I have met all the key players in the Senate

399
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 1: from Mitch mcconaughell on down. Even had a meeting with

400
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 1: Mitch mcconaugh where he didn't say much, but his staff

401
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 1: tells me that I'm the first person to make him

402
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 1: laugh in like ten years, and he was like, Oh,

403
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,359
Speaker 1: I'm just saying I've been there. I've talked to these people.

404
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 1: Everywhere I went, I swear to you. Everywhere I went,

405
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,680
Speaker 1: I heard the phrase, Oh, are you're gonna be a

406
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 1: team player? Very important to us if you're that you

407
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 1: be a team player, very important that we know that

408
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 1: we're all on the same team. Hope only fifty of

409
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:32,159
Speaker 1: us here in the Senate can't can't handle any dissent.

410
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:37,159
Speaker 1: Are you a team player? In other words, basically reading

411
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 1: between the lines or listening between their lines, are saying like,

412
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 1: if you want our support during this run for office,

413
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:46,879
Speaker 1: in a race in Pennsylvania where you're gonna need likely

414
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 1: three hundred million dollars, you better do what we say.

415
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:59,439
Speaker 1: That's check one. The second thing is you've gotta be

416
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:05,160
Speaker 1: a fundraising behemoth. And no, not just like a decent fundraiser.

417
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:10,200
Speaker 1: You have to be an absolute beast mode level fundraiser.

418
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 1: And here's the crux of the second point I'm trying

419
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 1: to make. In order to get access to people who

420
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 1: write those big checks, the very same people who are

421
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,879
Speaker 1: trying to bribe Carrie Lake out of the Senate race.

422
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 1: In order to get access to those people, you have

423
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 1: to meet all the criteria of point one. So you

424
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 1: see how this system in leadership is really one big

425
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 1: self licking ice cream cone. Do you see why it's

426
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 1: so difficult, if not impossible, to get a an outsider,

427
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 1: a reformer, someone like say Josh Holly in leadership. Well,

428
00:28:55,080 --> 00:29:00,160
Speaker 1: first of all, Josh Holly, I think I think as

429
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 1: my first endorsement in the United States Senate when I

430
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 1: ran for Senate, got a few opportunities to talk to him.

431
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 1: He's the real deal. I have an enormous amount of

432
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 1: respect for him, and not only because he was he was.

433
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 1: I just got a good vibe from him, and you know,

434
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 1: he was a good person, true to his word. All

435
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 1: that stuff matters. But the reason why I think he's

436
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 1: the real deal is because the establishment hates him. That's

437
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,720
Speaker 1: that's how you know you're over the target, right, That's

438
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 1: how you know you're being a reformer. Because these people Democrat,

439
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 1: Republican and their billionaire influencers, they want the status quo.

440
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 1: They don't want change. They want you to be a

441
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 1: team player. And so guys like Josh Hawley and Ted

442
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 1: Cruz and some of these other for JD. Vans, these people,

443
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 1: I certainly don't want to speak for them, but I

444
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 1: can pretty well tell you that they don't want to

445
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 1: be in Senate leadership. And second of all, they don't

446
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 1: meet the criteria and they never will. They can't be controlled.

447
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 1: They are going to rock the boat. And because they're

448
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 1: not seen as team players, they'll never get access to

449
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 1: the big dollar people who write the massive checks. And listen, folks,

450
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 1: because there's a lot of misunderstanding about this. There is

451
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 1: a very very big difference between leadership in the Senate

452
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: and just regular boots on the ground Senators leadership they

453
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 1: wield and the House of Representatives to speak of, the

454
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 1: House is the same way, but again it's all ratcheted

455
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 1: up to ten in the Senate because there's only one

456
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 1: hundred of them, right, so each senator is imbued with

457
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 1: more authority, their vote matters more, especially when there's a

458
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 1: razor thin margin a highly divided Senate like there is now.

459
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 1: There's just fewer of them, so everything is just magnified

460
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 1: in the Senate. But if you're in leadership, you have

461
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 1: the exclusive power over what bills get voted on. Period.

462
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I told you about HR two, the solution

463
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 1: to our border that passed out of the House of

464
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 1: Representatives back in May, almost three hundred days ago. We

465
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 1: could have had a secure border for eight months if

466
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 1: the Senate actually voted on that bill. But you know

467
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 1: what Chuck Schumer did with it as the Senate majority

468
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 1: of leader. He left it on his desk and it's

469
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 1: been there for almost three hundred days, collecting dust. Leadership

470
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 1: has enormous power, and so if you're this is also

471
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 1: a reason why many of these outsiders have trouble getting

472
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 1: legislation passed, because if you piss the wrong people off

473
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 1: at the top, your bills ain't getting voted on. And

474
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 1: so the second part about leadership that really separates them

475
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 1: from the pack is they just control enormous, enormous sums

476
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 1: of money. And I mean it, folks. The Senate leadership

477
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 1: find is what Mitch McConnell controls. The leadership in either

478
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 1: party controls these funds, packs, lobbying power, k stream people,

479
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 1: you name it. They all donations flow through McConnell and SLF.

480
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 1: The SLF means Senate Leadership Fund. Senate Leadership Fund augments

481
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 1: a Senate candidate's fundraising power. So, in other words, if

482
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 1: a race is going to cost three hundred million dollars

483
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 1: and you're a candidate, you better raise serious sums of

484
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 1: money because if you don't, the Senate Leadership Fund isn't

485
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 1: going to help get you across the goal lined and

486
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 1: spend in your race. Senate Leadership Fund is similar to

487
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 1: the House of Representatives CLF or Congressional Leadership Fund. They

488
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 1: all they're like the cavalry, and some of these races,

489
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 1: right or a candidate bust the rass to fundraise for

490
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 1: a year and they run out of money, Senate Leadership

491
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 1: Fund should be there in a perfect world to help

492
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 1: that candidate get across the goal line. Say it's true

493
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 1: in the House of Representatives. So if leadership doesn't like

494
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 1: you as a candidate, and leadership doesn't like you as

495
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 1: an incumbent, how likely do you think it will be

496
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 1: that Center Leadership Fund or Congressional Leadership Fund is there

497
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 1: for you when you need the most. And so, folks,

498
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 1: I'm telling you this because this is why it is

499
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 1: so difficult, damn near impossible to get a true reformer

500
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 1: in the House of Representative, not less than the House

501
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 1: of Representatives. It's requires far less money, but primarily in

502
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 1: the Senate. And this is why I have little faith

503
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 1: that the next leader is going to be a reformer.

504
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 1: And then it leads us to the question of why

505
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 1: this is another million dollar question. I think I have

506
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:50,239
Speaker 1: an answer to it. But why won't McConnell resign as

507
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 1: leadership leadership position now? And I mean step down now.

508
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 1: Let Republicans elect somebody new, appoint somebody new, vote on

509
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 1: somebody new. Do it now. The reason why McConnell won't

510
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:08,279
Speaker 1: is he doesn't want to discard his power during a

511
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 1: critical election. You remember, McConnell didn't fight the twenty twenty

512
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 1: election at all. I mean, he did nothing. McConnell and

513
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 1: Trump don't like each other. I mean, oh, listen. McConnell

514
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 1: was also responsible for ensuring that three Supreme Court justices

515
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:30,640
Speaker 1: in four years got appointed to the Supreme Court, so

516
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 1: like he's got a pretty decent record on conservative judges.

517
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 1: But he's also responsible for the abomination of that Langford

518
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 1: bill that is supposed to be a border's bill, but

519
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 1: it's not. It's an open border's bill that primarily funds Ukraine.

520
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 1: I mean, he's no friend of America first, and it's

521
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:51,279
Speaker 1: curious to me that he doesn't want to relinquish that

522
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:54,400
Speaker 1: power and relinquish that money and the lead up to

523
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, because if you put yourself in his shoes,

524
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:03,240
Speaker 1: he probably a portion of his legacy is making sure

525
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 1: as many establishment candidates get elected as humanly possible. And

526
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 1: what I mean by that are people who reject populism,

527
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 1: reject trump Ism, reject America first politics. I think that's

528
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:21,680
Speaker 1: why he wants to have his imprint on the Senate.

529
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 1: I think that's the only reason why ultimately there's not

530
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 1: a whole lot of wiggle room there for accountability either.

531
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 1: I mean, Mitch McConnell can basically do what he wants

532
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:35,360
Speaker 1: for these last eight months, take as many bad votes

533
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:39,240
Speaker 1: as he wants, and it does not matter to him

534
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:44,239
Speaker 1: to his voters, and that might matter a lot to

535
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 1: America and a Senate that's divided fifty to fifty year

536
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 1: one vote. I mean, I know that Democrats have a

537
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:56,319
Speaker 1: majority with calculing Kamala, but it's razor razor thin. You

538
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 1: end up getting Mitch McConnell voting with you in these

539
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:00,960
Speaker 1: last eight months, Real bad, bad things could happen to

540
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,799
Speaker 1: this country real quick if he turns, which, hey, look,

541
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:05,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if he will, but I'm just saying,

542
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 1: hard to hold somebody accountable. Who's not gonna Who's who's

543
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 1: just sitting around in the Senate for eight months waiting

544
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:15,280
Speaker 1: to retire?

545
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:15,560
Speaker 2: Right?

546
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 1: But my main issue with so many of the people

547
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:25,720
Speaker 1: that I just meant is that they're just folks. They're

548
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:31,880
Speaker 1: just not fighters, They're just not I've said it before

549
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:36,840
Speaker 1: and I'll say it again that it's critically important that Republicans,

550
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 1: candidates and incumbents understand what time it is that the

551
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:44,760
Speaker 1: Democrats are hell bent on destroying this country. They hate America,

552
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:48,799
Speaker 1: they have for the last decade. If you're a Republican

553
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:51,880
Speaker 1: that is running for office, like you're running for a

554
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:57,440
Speaker 1: high school debate team or student council, you're not suited

555
00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:01,400
Speaker 1: for the times. And so many Republicans in the Senate.

556
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 1: I mean, really, there are only about nine reformers in

557
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 1: the Senate, and by and large they're ostracized by the

558
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 1: forty establishment senators who are there. Those nine are real fighters.

559
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 1: The other forty they don't say a whole lot, and

560
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:19,760
Speaker 1: they kind of go with the flow. And the reason

561
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:22,520
Speaker 1: why that is so important is because the Democrats are

562
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 1: upping the ante all the time. I mean, after twenty twenty,

563
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 1: I thought anything was possible. I mean, with the COVID lockdowns,

564
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty election, all that stuff. But the Democrats

565
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:36,320
Speaker 1: but trying to keep Trump off the ballot. They've escalated

566
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:40,359
Speaker 1: things significantly, and we need fighters more than ever. And

567
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:42,839
Speaker 1: this is why listen to this.

568
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:46,360
Speaker 5: Joining us now, professor of political science at the University

569
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:50,359
Speaker 5: of Maryland, Baltimore County, Tomsheller and journalist and opinion writer

570
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:54,560
Speaker 5: Paul Waldman, their new book, out tomorrow is entitled White

571
00:37:55,040 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 5: Rural Rage The Threat to American Democracy. I'll will start

572
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 5: with you, why are white rural voters a threat to democracy?

573
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 4: At this point?

574
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 5: You would think, as we pointed out, looking at Joe

575
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 5: Biden's background and Donald Trump's, that the opposite would be true.

576
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:14,920
Speaker 6: I mean, we lay out the four fold interconnected threat

577
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 6: that white world voters post of the country. First of all,

578
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:20,759
Speaker 6: and we show thirty polls in national studies to demonstrate this.

579
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:22,480
Speaker 4: So we provide the receipts in chapter six.

580
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 6: They are the most racist, xenophobic, anti immigrant, and anti

581
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 6: gay geodemographic group in the country. Second, they're the most

582
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:34,799
Speaker 6: conspiracist group QAnon support and subscribers election denialism, COVID denihalism,

583
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:40,400
Speaker 6: and scientific skepticism, Obama birtherism. Third, anti democratic sentiments. They

584
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 6: don't believe in an independent press, free speech. They're most

585
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:44,719
Speaker 6: likely to say the president should be able to act

586
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:47,800
Speaker 6: unilaterally without any checks from Congress or the courts or

587
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:51,759
Speaker 6: their bureaucracy. They're also the most strongly white nationalists and

588
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:54,440
Speaker 6: white Christian nationalists. And fourth, they are most likely to

589
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:59,080
Speaker 6: excuse or justify violence as an acceptable alternative to peaceful

590
00:38:59,080 --> 00:38:59,760
Speaker 6: public distance.

591
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 5: You mentioned a lot of negative factors about this.

592
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:11,240
Speaker 1: So these people absolutely hate you. The fact that that's allowed,

593
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:13,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean free speech, right. But it's amazing

594
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:16,399
Speaker 1: to me that not only is that allowed, that it's

595
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:24,239
Speaker 1: it's celebrated. There's a significant portion of this country on

596
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:29,800
Speaker 1: the left that hate us, that that that have dreams

597
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:33,360
Speaker 1: about putting us in a gulog. This is not a joke.

598
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:38,600
Speaker 1: Look at what these look how authoritarian, these these neo

599
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:45,960
Speaker 1: fascist democrats have become in just four years. It's unbelievable

600
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:49,360
Speaker 1: how much the Overton window has shifted during that time.

601
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:54,280
Speaker 1: And again this isn't like just the the view talking

602
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:56,400
Speaker 1: about jailing Republicans just today.

603
00:39:56,680 --> 00:40:01,840
Speaker 12: Listen, well, the Supreme Court won't hear oral arguments until

604
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:06,640
Speaker 12: the end of April. Now, I just you know, just

605
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 12: let's look at a scenario where the Supreme Court says, yes,

606
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 12: he has that he has all those rights, he is

607
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 12: immune from everything. You know what Joe Biden could.

608
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:18,799
Speaker 4: Do, says he is presidently president, who.

609
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:30,600
Speaker 12: He could throw every Republican in jail. I mean, he could,

610
00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:35,120
Speaker 12: he can go. What this means is it's he can

611
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:41,279
Speaker 12: do anything. He could dismiss everybody's debt. You know, there's

612
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:43,160
Speaker 12: a whole bunch of great stuff that could happen. But

613
00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 12: let's let's really look at what this means, so.

614
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 13: That they're really kicking the can down the road though

615
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:52,279
Speaker 13: they they're not taking up this case immediately, So what's

616
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 13: that motivation?

617
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 1: Then?

618
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 13: If they if We all know that they can't do

619
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:58,719
Speaker 13: what you just said because of the extreme power that

620
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 13: a president would happen. What is their motivation for not

621
00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 13: doing it right away?

622
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:06,600
Speaker 7: Unfortunately, some people are saying the motivation is that there

623
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:09,800
Speaker 7: are certain conservative justices that have been appointed by Trump

624
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:12,160
Speaker 7: that want to help him, and because we know the

625
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 7: end result is if this case is not resolved by

626
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:21,360
Speaker 7: the time of the election and he, god forbid, becomes

627
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:24,360
Speaker 7: the president of the United States, pooh pooh. The Justice

628
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:28,719
Speaker 7: Department policy is that you cannot indict nor put on

629
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:33,239
Speaker 7: trial a sitting president, right, and so.

630
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:37,160
Speaker 1: It's ridiculous, right. The fact that they think that that

631
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:42,400
Speaker 1: these are rigorously thought out policy positions is unbelievably concerning.

632
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:46,359
Speaker 1: I'm going to show you now how the Democrats are

633
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:49,440
Speaker 1: opening up a new front in their war against the

634
00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:52,520
Speaker 1: United States Supreme Court. And buckle up, folks, because the

635
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:55,320
Speaker 1: Democrats are about to take things to the next level.

636
00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:59,520
Speaker 1: And of course, you know, the Supreme Court agreed to

637
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:02,520
Speaker 1: take up the Trump immunity case on what they call

638
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:07,040
Speaker 1: a petition for serciori or cert for short. I've had

639
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:13,600
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court reject election integrity cases from me, and

640
00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:15,920
Speaker 1: where I've asked for them to take a case on

641
00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:19,760
Speaker 1: cerciori or cert and they typically come back sheet of paper,

642
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:24,520
Speaker 1: one sentence, Your petition for forciori has been denied. So

643
00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:28,120
Speaker 1: it's they oftentimes don't give a whole lot of explanation

644
00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:30,719
Speaker 1: as to why they're doing something with this. They gave

645
00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:34,880
Speaker 1: a full paragraph explanation of why they're taking up the

646
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:39,520
Speaker 1: Trump case, and it's it's actually kind of amazing. They

647
00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:46,320
Speaker 1: were very clear in communicating what portions of this case

648
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:49,239
Speaker 1: they want argued, and I'm just read it to you.

649
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:52,360
Speaker 1: It says the application for a stay presented to the

650
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 1: Chief Justice is referred by him to the Court the

651
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:59,600
Speaker 1: Special Council's request to treat the stay application as a

652
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:03,239
Speaker 1: petition and for a rid of serciori is granted, and

653
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:07,880
Speaker 1: that petition is granteded limited to the following question. This

654
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:11,719
Speaker 1: is very important whether and if so and to what

655
00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:16,720
Speaker 1: extent does a former president enjoy presidential immunity from criminal

656
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:22,200
Speaker 1: prosecution for conduct alleged to involve official acts during his

657
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:25,560
Speaker 1: tenure in office. Without expressing a view on the merits,

658
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:28,360
Speaker 1: this Court directs the Court of Appeals to continue withholding.

659
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:32,520
Speaker 1: The withholding issuance of the mandate until sending down the

660
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:35,840
Speaker 1: judgment of this court. The application for a stay is

661
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:40,520
Speaker 1: dismissed as moot. This is a big deal and it

662
00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:45,719
Speaker 1: has the left freaking out. Now explain their game plan

663
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:49,759
Speaker 1: here in a second. But do you know why the

664
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:52,360
Speaker 1: Supreme why the left is freaking out like this? And

665
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:57,760
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court, it's the only court in the country

666
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:03,520
Speaker 1: that can't really be bought. The justices are appointed by

667
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 1: Democrat Republican president and they have been since the founding

668
00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:11,279
Speaker 1: of our country. All across this country, Soros has been

669
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:15,920
Speaker 1: working hard behind the scenes in races where judges actually

670
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:19,480
Speaker 1: campaign and have to raise money. He's been working very,

671
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 1: very very hard at buying places on the bench in

672
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:29,040
Speaker 1: swing states all around the country. Pennsylvania, critical swing state

673
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:32,960
Speaker 1: of Pennsylvania. The reason why Republicans often aren't successful on

674
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:36,760
Speaker 1: their election integrity cases here is because in twenty twenty,

675
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:39,720
Speaker 1: it was a five to two Democrat supermajority on that court,

676
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:43,160
Speaker 1: five Democrats two Republicans, largely perceived to be the most

677
00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:47,040
Speaker 1: radical court in the country. Three of those justices were

678
00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:50,440
Speaker 1: swept into power with over a million dollars of George

679
00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:53,840
Speaker 1: Soros money. A peace the same is true for the

680
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:59,040
Speaker 1: Pennsylvania Supreme Court justice that won in the twenty twenty

681
00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:02,960
Speaker 1: eight three cycle. I think it was so in places

682
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:07,759
Speaker 1: where George Soros can flex his financial might and buy

683
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:12,839
Speaker 1: judicial seats, he does. And what it effectively acts as

684
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:15,520
Speaker 1: when Republicans have control of the legislature and there's a

685
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:19,719
Speaker 1: Republican governor, often things won't get by the court. When

686
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:23,080
Speaker 1: there's a Democrat controlled legislature or a Democrat governor in

687
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:27,240
Speaker 1: a given state, the Supreme Court in that state acts

688
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:32,120
Speaker 1: as a backstop to the governor. It's happened in Pennsylvania

689
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:35,920
Speaker 1: over and over and over again and again. It doesn't

690
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:39,279
Speaker 1: matter what the issue is. If it's a political landmark,

691
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:43,920
Speaker 1: politically charged type of case, they are one hundred percent

692
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:50,080
Speaker 1: going to rule with the radical left. And so the

693
00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:53,399
Speaker 1: only court in the country that the left can't buy

694
00:45:53,600 --> 00:46:00,560
Speaker 1: or control really is the Supreme Court. And they're hannicking

695
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:02,960
Speaker 1: now because they're going to hear arguments in the Trump

696
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:05,480
Speaker 1: immunity case and they don't want that to happen. So

697
00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:09,880
Speaker 1: what they're effectively doing is they are attacking and bullying

698
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:12,360
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court. And they do this all the time.

699
00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:15,880
Speaker 1: I'll explain why in a second. But listen to Chris

700
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:22,440
Speaker 1: Hayes on MSNBC just going off like a total whack job.

701
00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:25,480
Speaker 11: I want to be crystal clear here about the important

702
00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:27,280
Speaker 11: significance of today's news, because I think.

703
00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:28,759
Speaker 4: A lot of reporting has missed this.

704
00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:35,480
Speaker 11: What happened today, This one page order looks anodyne, right.

705
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:41,080
Speaker 11: It is an unmistakable sign from the maga majority of

706
00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:45,120
Speaker 11: the Trump created court that they are with him, that

707
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:48,560
Speaker 11: they are going to use their power to make sure

708
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:52,040
Speaker 11: he does not face trial in an election year for

709
00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:58,279
Speaker 11: attempting to end American democracy. Until today, it could have

710
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:01,640
Speaker 11: gone either way. It was genuinely unclear whether they were

711
00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:03,440
Speaker 11: going to give him what he wanted, whether they were

712
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:06,840
Speaker 11: going to put their shoulder to the wheel on Donald

713
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:10,480
Speaker 11: Trump's behalf. Everyone has always understood the substance of his

714
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:12,200
Speaker 11: legal claim here is meritless.

715
00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:13,879
Speaker 4: It lost to the district court level.

716
00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:18,520
Speaker 11: It lost unanimously in the appellate court three judges, one

717
00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:20,080
Speaker 11: of whom is a Republican appointee.

718
00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:21,799
Speaker 4: It is bad law.

719
00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:25,160
Speaker 11: Under the Supreme Court's own precedent and jurisprudence.

720
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:29,080
Speaker 4: The point was never to win on the merits.

721
00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:32,720
Speaker 11: The point was to make a time consuming hail Mary

722
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:34,359
Speaker 11: passed to attempt augh.

723
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:37,319
Speaker 1: I can't. I can't even Sometimes I wonder do these

724
00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:39,920
Speaker 1: people really believe that, or do they have some crazy

725
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:46,319
Speaker 1: producer in a control room somewhere writing these insane monologues.

726
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:49,719
Speaker 1: But with Chris Hayes, he actually believes it. Listen to it.

727
00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:53,080
Speaker 1: Listen to him on Colbert shortly after this.

728
00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:57,839
Speaker 4: American voters actually deserved the knowledge in either direction. If

729
00:47:57,840 --> 00:48:00,320
Speaker 4: the man is acquitted, if he's found not guilty.

730
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:02,840
Speaker 11: Of an incredibly grave crime, American voters deserve to know

731
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:03,400
Speaker 11: that as well.

732
00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:04,680
Speaker 4: One way or the other.

733
00:48:05,239 --> 00:48:09,000
Speaker 11: The American public is owed as a fundamental public interest,

734
00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:11,719
Speaker 11: as a democratic self interest, to know whether, in a

735
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:13,600
Speaker 11: court of law, judged by a jury of his peers,

736
00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:16,600
Speaker 11: under full constitutional due process, the man is guilty or

737
00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:19,120
Speaker 11: not of the gravest political crime of any man in

738
00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:20,919
Speaker 11: history since the Civil War.

739
00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:26,719
Speaker 1: But I just he said that in his last appearance too.

740
00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:29,840
Speaker 1: I just cut it off, because again my IQ is

741
00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:33,200
Speaker 1: diminishing in real time. Listening to him. He said, Donald

742
00:48:33,239 --> 00:48:37,080
Speaker 1: Trump is the greatest threat of democracy since the Civil War.

743
00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:43,680
Speaker 1: I mean, these people, folks, they live in the same

744
00:48:43,719 --> 00:48:48,279
Speaker 1: country as us. His vote cancels out, mind, I mean,

745
00:48:48,320 --> 00:48:53,239
Speaker 1: it's crazy. These people are insane conspiracy theorists. And as

746
00:48:53,239 --> 00:48:58,040
Speaker 1: I always say, beware of very, very stupid people with

747
00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:04,040
Speaker 1: huge platform. And listen, listen, listen to MSNBC go on

748
00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:06,239
Speaker 1: and gaslight you about the Supreme Court again. You're gonna

749
00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:07,640
Speaker 1: hear lots of lies about this stuff.

750
00:49:07,719 --> 00:49:09,959
Speaker 4: But do you believe on the merits the Supreme Court

751
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:13,919
Speaker 4: made the right decision here to hear the arguments. I don't.

752
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:18,719
Speaker 8: I think that this is such a frivolous argument. This

753
00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:21,799
Speaker 8: is a case where even if you thought there might

754
00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:27,279
Speaker 8: be some circumstance where a president could be immune with

755
00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:31,640
Speaker 8: respect to certain actions that he takes within his or

756
00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:36,560
Speaker 8: her official capacity, this is surely not the case, as

757
00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:40,680
Speaker 8: Judge Lutig has said and actually submitted a brief. When

758
00:49:40,719 --> 00:49:44,479
Speaker 8: you're dealing with the crimes that are alleged here, which

759
00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:50,200
Speaker 8: is illegally staying in office, that is an absolute violation

760
00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:51,200
Speaker 8: of the company.

761
00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:54,000
Speaker 1: Here's the thing, folks, and this is why this is

762
00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:57,920
Speaker 1: a lie. It's sinister, it's gaslighting. Ordinary Americans probably aren't

763
00:49:57,920 --> 00:50:03,080
Speaker 1: tracking this like we all are. Is not charged with

764
00:50:03,280 --> 00:50:08,320
Speaker 1: illegally trying to stay in office, even though the election

765
00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:12,080
Speaker 1: was rigged against him, because of course it was every

766
00:50:12,239 --> 00:50:16,400
Speaker 1: day that goes by, we learn more about it, but

767
00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:22,239
Speaker 1: it's he left office on time, despite all of these

768
00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:26,240
Speaker 1: terrible things being done to him, he left on time.

769
00:50:27,520 --> 00:50:30,680
Speaker 1: And then there's this other guy, this white haired, white

770
00:50:30,719 --> 00:50:34,120
Speaker 1: haired fat Albert. I mean, like, listen to this insane person.

771
00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:37,520
Speaker 7: Then the Appeals Court gives a bullet proof ruling, as

772
00:50:37,600 --> 00:50:39,879
Speaker 7: Dahlia says, and they still decide to take it up.

773
00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:44,360
Speaker 14: What it says is that they are corrupted political actors

774
00:50:44,520 --> 00:50:47,319
Speaker 14: who act in bad faith. The reason why people like

775
00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:49,760
Speaker 14: Mark and people like Dalia seem to have a crystal

776
00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:53,000
Speaker 14: ball is because they're real because they're realists and they

777
00:50:53,080 --> 00:50:55,360
Speaker 14: understand the Court for what it is. And at some

778
00:50:55,520 --> 00:50:59,640
Speaker 14: point people in the media, people at home, and people

779
00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:04,120
Speaker 14: sitting in the White House have to stop pretending that

780
00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:07,400
Speaker 14: the Supreme Court is some kind of benign trying to

781
00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:10,719
Speaker 14: do its best institution and start to realize that there

782
00:51:10,760 --> 00:51:16,120
Speaker 14: are six Republicans, non conservatives, Republicans on the Supreme Court

783
00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:20,000
Speaker 14: who view it as their job to help the Republican Party,

784
00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:22,719
Speaker 14: and until we do something about that, until we take

785
00:51:22,719 --> 00:51:26,760
Speaker 14: away that power, until we draw the line on them there,

786
00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:29,360
Speaker 14: they will continue to do this, they will help Trump.

787
00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:32,080
Speaker 14: They will take away abortion rights, they will end affirmative action,

788
00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:33,919
Speaker 14: they will liberalize gun rights.

789
00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:37,359
Speaker 1: They will do all of it until we stop them.

790
00:51:37,560 --> 00:51:41,600
Speaker 14: And somebody, somebody needs to start listening in the higher

791
00:51:41,640 --> 00:51:45,560
Speaker 14: echelons of the Democratic Party because we will keep losing

792
00:51:45,719 --> 00:51:50,040
Speaker 14: every day we allow these six Republicans in robes.

793
00:51:49,920 --> 00:51:51,800
Speaker 4: To rule over all of us.

794
00:51:56,160 --> 00:52:01,600
Speaker 1: Put a total psycho mind the fact that he completely

795
00:52:02,160 --> 00:52:07,160
Speaker 1: glosses over Republican Supreme Court justices side with liberals all

796
00:52:07,239 --> 00:52:10,520
Speaker 1: the time, much to my chagrin. It drives me crazy.

797
00:52:10,840 --> 00:52:15,279
Speaker 1: I wish Republican judges were more like the left, recognizing

798
00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:19,560
Speaker 1: the time that we're in. But alas, Republicans play by

799
00:52:19,560 --> 00:52:23,040
Speaker 1: the rules. But here's the real reason why they're doing this.

800
00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:27,240
Speaker 1: They're trying to bully the court and shape public perception

801
00:52:27,320 --> 00:52:29,360
Speaker 1: and the lead up to this decision, the way that

802
00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:33,799
Speaker 1: they let this unfold. I mean, there's a million reasons why,

803
00:52:33,840 --> 00:52:36,000
Speaker 1: but the bottom line is the American people are going

804
00:52:36,120 --> 00:52:37,959
Speaker 1: to get to vote for the person that they want

805
00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:40,200
Speaker 1: and a trial on this will likely not even happen

806
00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:45,160
Speaker 1: until well after election day. And the left, one of

807
00:52:45,200 --> 00:52:49,960
Speaker 1: the themes of this show was is all about disenfranchising voters,

808
00:52:50,680 --> 00:52:54,560
Speaker 1: manipulating democracy and getting to choose who you get to

809
00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:58,120
Speaker 1: vote for me of course, because they're all disgusting fascists

810
00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:01,320
Speaker 1: and they're going to rap shout up their attacks, folks,

811
00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:04,360
Speaker 1: because look at this, This is what the electoral college

812
00:53:04,400 --> 00:53:09,399
Speaker 1: map looks like right now using the latest Bloomberg pole

813
00:53:10,640 --> 00:53:13,799
Speaker 1: just came out. As you can see, there is a

814
00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:16,520
Speaker 1: lot of red on that map in the swings that

815
00:53:16,560 --> 00:53:18,840
Speaker 1: in Nevada they have that flipping red. And this is

816
00:53:18,920 --> 00:53:22,960
Speaker 1: based on the latest poll Arizona red, Florida red, Georgia,

817
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:27,600
Speaker 1: North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin all read Trump electoral votes

818
00:53:27,640 --> 00:53:32,279
Speaker 1: three twelve, Biden electoral votes two twenty one. That is

819
00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:37,480
Speaker 1: why they are doing what they're doing. And they're petrified

820
00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:40,840
Speaker 1: of what the Supreme Court might rule because they can't

821
00:53:40,840 --> 00:53:43,760
Speaker 1: control them, so they will bully them what the left

822
00:53:43,800 --> 00:53:47,760
Speaker 1: always does, what's called the Heckler's veto. If you roll

823
00:53:47,880 --> 00:53:51,160
Speaker 1: against us, we will riot, There will be chaos. Look

824
00:53:51,160 --> 00:53:53,600
Speaker 1: at look at all the screaming that we're doing on

825
00:53:53,640 --> 00:53:56,040

829
00:54:05,080 --> 00:54:09,239
Speaker 1: what the Left did to Brett Kavanaugh. Whatever happened to

830
00:54:09,320 --> 00:54:11,400
Speaker 1: that guy. By the way here, you'd think it'd be
