1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,559 Speaker 1: All right, news round up, information overload hour. Your calls 2 00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:04,560 Speaker 1: coming up eight hundred and nine for one, Shawn our 3 00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:06,200 Speaker 1: number if you want to be a part of the program. 4 00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:12,240 Speaker 1: Not only are we following the electoral disaster that is Arizona, 5 00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:15,120 Speaker 1: we still have, you know, plenty of vote counting going 6 00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:18,760 Speaker 1: on out in Nevada, and we can't get a real 7 00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:23,440 Speaker 1: grip on what is outstanding was not outstanding. We were 8 00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:28,040 Speaker 1: told yesterday by Joe Gloria as a guy's name, Clark County, 9 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:32,640 Speaker 1: Nevada Registrar, saying that they are counting fifty thousand votes 10 00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:36,159 Speaker 1: now the hours leading up to him saying that it 11 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,000 Speaker 1: was anticipated that there might be as many as eighty 12 00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:42,880 Speaker 1: seven thousand votes left in Clark County. Most of them 13 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,920 Speaker 1: were expected to be like in the state of Arizona, 14 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:49,440 Speaker 1: a day of votes dropped off by people that didn't 15 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,280 Speaker 1: trust the mail system and or didn't have the time 16 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,400 Speaker 1: to mail it and wanted their vote counted for sure, 17 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 1: and they felt the only way to do that would 18 00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,320 Speaker 1: be to walk it in. Anyway, Here's what Joe area, 19 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:04,039 Speaker 1: the Clark County, Nevada registrar said. By the way, Clark 20 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,480 Speaker 1: County is the Vegas area of Nevada. My staff has 21 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 1: been working very diligently. We've been here from early in 22 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,400 Speaker 1: the morning until late at night. We've been fully staffed. 23 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 1: We're working as hard as we possibly can in order 24 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 1: to get the ballots counted. But whether we like it 25 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 1: or not, there's no way that we can move any 26 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,680 Speaker 1: faster than we're currently moving. We still have over fifty 27 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 1: thousand ballots that need to be counted. Those are in 28 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 1: various stages in the process of validation before they go 29 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,319 Speaker 1: to the counting board, and finally, ultimately they get to 30 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 1: tabulation where we're able to read them into the system. 31 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 1: No way to move any faster. I have a suggestion. 32 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 1: I have a solution. All the people that counted the 33 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 1: ballots of Florida, why don't we fly them out to 34 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 1: Arizona and Nevada and let them count the votes. Because 35 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 1: if you can't count fifty thousand votes, we may not 36 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 1: know the results next week. Sometime in that period of time, 37 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 1: you certainly need help. And if Florida can do seven 38 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: and a half million in five hours, I think those 39 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 1: are the people we want counting them anyway. Joining us now. 40 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 1: An interesting story is Victor Jakes is with us. He's 41 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 1: a columnist with the Vegas Reviewed Journal. And what's really 42 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:20,080 Speaker 1: interesting about it, he tweeted out, Nevada is isn't just 43 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 1: terrible accounting ballots quickly? Signature verification isn't the failsafe security 44 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,799 Speaker 1: measure that officials have claimed, And he pointed out that 45 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:33,079 Speaker 1: Clark County accepted my version of someone else's signature on 46 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 1: six of eleven mail ballot envelopes. In other words, over 47 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 1: half the time. Now what happened is you know he's 48 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 1: talking about this whole system. I'll let him tell you 49 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: the whole story himself. Victor. Welcome to the program. How 50 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 1: are you, sir, I'm doing great, Sean, Thanks for having 51 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 1: me on. All right, well, can you explain to me 52 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 1: how many votes are outstanding, which way they're going, what 53 00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 1: percentage of the vote outstanding? Our day of votes that 54 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:04,919 Speaker 1: were handed off by people that tends to profile more 55 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 1: Republican or conservative and favored them at least in Arizona's 56 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 1: favoring them by like seventy percent. Yeah, it's I'd say 57 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,959 Speaker 1: there's between about sixty five to seventy thousand votes uncounted 58 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 1: in Clark County the Vegas area. Those are wait a minute. Yesterday, 59 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 1: the guy said fifty thousand votes. Why are we now 60 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:26,079 Speaker 1: up to seventy thousand? I think he made a mistake yesterday, 61 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 1: to put it charitably, I don't know where he came 62 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 1: up with that number, because the day before he had 63 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 1: given a you know, a much larger number than they 64 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 1: hadn't released that many ballots, you know, that night. So 65 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: I don't know why he said fifty thousand. I think 66 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 1: that was a mistake. Well, let me get this straight. Now, 67 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: this is Thursday, after Tuesday's election, and he gives a 68 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 1: definitive number to the entire country and your state, and 69 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 1: you're telling me that his number was off by twenty 70 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 1: to thirty thousand votes, which, by the way, in this 71 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 1: close Senate race with Adam lack Saul, could make the 72 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 1: difference between winning and losing. Well, I mean, the Clark 73 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: County election experiment has been in you know, I just 74 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 1: had embarrassment after embarrassment, and I think this is this 75 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 1: is one of them. You know, it's potentially he was 76 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,479 Speaker 1: trying to say, you know, we've counted, we we've counted 77 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 1: some votes that haven't released them, and so you know, 78 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 1: he wasn't including that in the fifty thousand. But you 79 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 1: know he's supposed to give these press conferences to provide clarity, 80 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 1: and he certainly did not do that. I can't believe it. 81 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,239 Speaker 1: So you partook in this experiment, and when I first 82 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: heard it, I said, oh, this guy, Victor Jake's may 83 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,600 Speaker 1: end up in jail. But in fact, you actually addressed 84 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,720 Speaker 1: that in your column that you did nothing illegal. Um, 85 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 1: let's talk about your little experiment, what you did and 86 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 1: what the results were. Yeah. I wanted to test the 87 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 1: actressy of signature verification because the Vada moved within the 88 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,599 Speaker 1: last two years to sending a mail ballot out to 89 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,280 Speaker 1: every single voter, whether they wanted one or not, whether 90 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 1: they lived at their address or not, and officials would 91 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 1: tell us, well, don't worry. Even if you find someone 92 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 1: else's ballot, or you know, a political operators find someone 93 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 1: else's ballot, they can't return it because we have signature verification. 94 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 1: And so I wanted to put that to a test. 95 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 1: I got some people, eleven people took a picture of 96 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 1: their ballot envelope, so I saw their name, I wrote 97 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 1: their name in my handwriting, took a picture, sent it 98 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 1: back to them. They copied my version of their sign 99 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,839 Speaker 1: of their name, so they wrote it in their own handwriting, 100 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:33,720 Speaker 1: but it was it was how I would have written it, 101 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: you know, if I had just found the ballot and 102 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:40,480 Speaker 1: returned it. And Clark County officials Las Vegas Area accepted 103 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 1: six of those eleven ballots they went through without being 104 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 1: set aside as having the signature mismatch. So that's far 105 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: from a failsafe security measure. I mean, I'm reading this 106 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 1: story and it's a pretty amazing story. Now, how much 107 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 1: time did you spend with lawyers at your workplace, at 108 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:06,280 Speaker 1: the Vegas Review Journal and going over the legality of this, 109 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:08,359 Speaker 1: Because when I read it, I said, oh, oh, this 110 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 1: guy may have put himself in legal jeopardy, but I 111 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 1: don't believe you did. Yeah, well, I mean you look 112 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,279 Speaker 1: at the law. I obviously didn't want to do anything illegal. 113 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 1: Although I think it's it's kind of amazing how much 114 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 1: of the election process out here is just done on 115 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 1: the honor system. It's it's just, oh, well, no one's 116 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:27,599 Speaker 1: gonna cheat, and we're not gonna look at anyone who 117 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 1: may have cheated, you know, so just just trust us. 118 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 1: That's not how it should work. But I mean, the 119 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 1: law is clear. You know, as long as someone signs 120 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,919 Speaker 1: their own ballot, that's that's what you know, that's what 121 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,280 Speaker 1: has to happen. You know, I can't sign someone else's ballot. 122 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 1: But there's nothing in the law that says your signature 123 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,159 Speaker 1: has to match exactly what you you know, what you 124 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 1: did before, and it can't do that because people's signatures 125 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: change over time. That's just natural. Depending on how's fast, 126 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,600 Speaker 1: you know, how much of a hurry you're in, Depending 127 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 1: on the surface that you're writing on, people's signatures change. 128 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 1: And that's exactly why you shouldn't use signature verification as 129 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,479 Speaker 1: a way to quote unquote prove that someone sent in 130 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 1: their own ballot, because it's not a unique identifier. You know. Look, 131 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 1: I actually do support it, but for different reasons. In 132 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 1: past years in New York, you would see your name, 133 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 1: you would see your signature, and you would know which 134 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 1: signature they're looking for. For example, you know, I signed 135 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 1: a ton of stuff and and my signature has changed 136 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 1: dramatically over the years, and it can change day to 137 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 1: day based on how tired I am. And you know, 138 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 1: you know, when I signed, for example, my last book, 139 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 1: I signed eighty thousand books or live for or die. 140 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 1: It took a long, long period of time. And I'm 141 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 1: if you look at the signatures, you'd say, oh, he 142 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 1: didn't do every one of them. I actually did, but 143 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 1: they may not all look the same. I know, it 144 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 1: sounds crazy, So I would say, it's not the identifier, 145 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 1: but I know the signature when they used to show 146 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 1: it to me when I was voting my signature on record, 147 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 1: I knew which signature I used at the time, and 148 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 1: I say, okay, I'll do it the way I was 149 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 1: doing it at that time. It gives you, but you 150 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 1: can't fake that in that sense. In other words, if 151 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 1: you were just trying to forge it, it would be 152 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 1: far more difficult to forge it because you know, I 153 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 1: kind of have the sloppiest handwriting you've ever seen. Yeah, 154 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 1: And so the other problem out here is that you know, 155 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 1: basically a signature is innocent until proven guilty, and the 156 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 1: law instructs officials basically to look for ways that it 157 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,559 Speaker 1: could pass. And so in order to reject the signature, 158 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 1: there has to be multiple significant and obvious differences between 159 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:47,080 Speaker 1: the signatures on file and the signature that you know 160 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 1: that that's on the ballot envelope and the challenges is 161 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:54,080 Speaker 1: that everyone learned cursive and basically the same way, and 162 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 1: so you know, everyone generally forms their ease and their 163 00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 1: elves and their case in the same way. And so 164 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 1: if you're looking at it from the perspective of well, 165 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 1: how can I, you know, show that this is the 166 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 1: same signature, you're going to find similarities because again, this 167 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 1: isn't something that's unique. Everyone learned to form their letters 168 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 1: their letters in the same basic way, even if of course, 169 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 1: over time, you know, people have their own different versions 170 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,200 Speaker 1: of it, and so you know, it's just, you know, 171 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 1: that's the fundamental problem is it's not something that's unique 172 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,560 Speaker 1: to each person. And because signatures change over time, in 173 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:30,320 Speaker 1: order to not reject lots and lots of valid absent 174 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,839 Speaker 1: fee ballots or mail ballots, they have to have some flexibility. 175 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 1: But that flexibility also allows for the possibility of fraud. 176 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 1: All right, let me ask you this, if in fact, 177 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 1: Joe Gloria is wrong and you're right, that that then 178 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 1: takes the advantage that was Adam Laxalts and turns it 179 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 1: and flips it over to Senator mask Though, now would 180 00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:00,560 Speaker 1: you agree with that analysis? It's that critical, It is 181 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,840 Speaker 1: that critical Um, I think obviously the more votes in 182 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 1: Clark County, the better for portrez Maso and the worst 183 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,839 Speaker 1: for Wlaxalt. Uh. It looks you know, there was this 184 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 1: idea and I think with some justification that oh, the 185 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 1: election day drop offs will will swing more towards Republicans. Uh. 186 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 1: And you know, from from the people pulling the data 187 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 1: from the big data file, it looks like, you know, 188 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 1: that's not quite happened. It's not quite as democratic as 189 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 1: before as just the ballots coming in through the post office. 190 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 1: But it's not a you know, it's not a big 191 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 1: Republican swing in these ballots. Um. You know, I think 192 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:36,679 Speaker 1: Wack salts in trouble. He's going to need to kind 193 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,959 Speaker 1: of make up some ground with where we would expect, uh, 194 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 1: you know how we would expect those ballots to break. Yeah. Um. 195 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 1: And you know, when we're ever gonna get a final 196 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 1: result or we're ever gonna get a real a number 197 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 1: of this, you know, you think of it. It's Friday, 198 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 1: the vote was Tuesday. You would think they would at 199 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 1: least know what is outstanding, where it's outstanding, and at 200 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:02,320 Speaker 1: least give us the information that people can then make 201 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 1: some assumptions with yeah, they really slow flocked to Um, 202 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,560 Speaker 1: you know these these election day drop off ballots. Um, 203 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 1: they didn't even open the drop boxes until Wednesday, and 204 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,679 Speaker 1: that was you know, that's not in the law. The 205 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,079 Speaker 1: Gloria likes to say, Oh, you know, the law requires 206 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,240 Speaker 1: us to have all these timelines. The law does not 207 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 1: require you to go slow in in processing these ballots 208 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 1: and telling people, you know, how many were from Democrats, 209 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 1: how many from from Republicans, are from nonpartisan voters? Um. 210 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 1: You know, there are timelines that are delayed in terms 211 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 1: of late arriving mail, but that's basically fallen off to nothing. 212 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 1: And then next week the provisional ballots. Um, you know 213 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:43,559 Speaker 1: they have to check and make sure someone didn't vote 214 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,079 Speaker 1: in another part of the state. You know, that's understandable. 215 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 1: But you know, then we're talking about you know, ten 216 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 1: thousand ballots, maybe not fifty sixty, and if you include 217 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,200 Speaker 1: the whole state, you know, one hundred thousand ballots. Those 218 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 1: are the ballots that already should have been counted. They 219 00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,120 Speaker 1: are everyone should already know. And if it's a just 220 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 1: an extremely close election and we have to go to provisionals, 221 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 1: then everyone understands, Okay, things are just super tight, and 222 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 1: there's no way to speed that up. But there definitely 223 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 1: was a way to speed up the information that was 224 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 1: released about the balance that were already in the possession 225 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 1: of the election officials. Series. Let me let me backtrack 226 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,439 Speaker 1: a second, a way to speed up. We have forty 227 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,680 Speaker 1: seven states that gave us results for the most part, 228 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 1: with some congressional races outstanding, but even those now are 229 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:32,600 Speaker 1: now down to a trickle, and every other state was 230 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 1: able to give us definitive results in all of these 231 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 1: big races, senatorial races, gubernatorial races. And by the way, 232 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,560 Speaker 1: I'll take my hits, I would have preferred that Lee's 233 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,080 Speaker 1: Eldon win in New York. I don't like that they 234 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,559 Speaker 1: don't have voter ID laws in New York. I think 235 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 1: that's insane. I would have preferred Tutor Dixon when her 236 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 1: race in Michigan, but the results came in. There wasn't 237 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 1: this you know, days long counting that went on. You know, 238 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:03,199 Speaker 1: don't you think fundamentally that it is wrong for the 239 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 1: state of Nevada to continue a system that is so 240 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,440 Speaker 1: fundamentally flawed that it keeps the rest of the nation 241 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 1: waiting on edge for days and weeks. If you know, 242 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 1: to get a final result. The system is so flawed 243 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 1: there it has to be fixed, doesn't it. Well, I 244 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 1: sure hope it is. Six. It's an absolute embarrassment and 245 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 1: it should be unacceptable, and it should be unacceptable to 246 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,559 Speaker 1: people of both parties. I mean, just like you said, well, 247 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 1: exactly the outcome of an election or not, we should 248 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,200 Speaker 1: at least know the outcome of the election. And there's 249 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 1: definitely blame on the legislature. There's definitely blame on the 250 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:42,200 Speaker 1: election officials. There's there's lots to blame to go around. 251 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,319 Speaker 1: I'm not convinced Democrats are going to look at this 252 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 1: and say, oh yeah, it's something we got a fix, 253 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 1: But I think the public wants it fixed and it 254 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 1: certainly should be fixed. All right, quick freak. We'll come 255 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 1: back more with Las Vegas Reviewed Journal columnist Victor Jakes 256 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,320 Speaker 1: is with us eight hundred and nine for one, Shawn 257 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,839 Speaker 1: on number on this Friday. We'll get your calls. We'll 258 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 1: get you an update on all of this tonight on 259 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,440 Speaker 1: Hannity nine easton on the Fox News Channel. As we 260 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 1: continue the radio show. The mainstream media love state. This 261 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 1: is the Sean Hannity Show. All right, we continue with 262 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 1: The Vegas Review Journal, columnist Victor Jakes is with us, 263 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 1: do you have any instinct which way you think this 264 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 1: race is going to end up? Because you know, based 265 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,160 Speaker 1: on what you're saying, you took advantage in my mind, 266 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 1: Adam Laxalt, and you put it in the column of 267 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 1: Cortez Mastow by adding thirty thousand votes. Yeah, I think 268 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 1: Massow's got to be the favorite. You know, Black Salts 269 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 1: path to victory is the election day drop off ballot 270 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 1: in the Wash Show should favor him slightly. He's likely 271 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 1: to pick up a few thousand votes from that in 272 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 1: the rule counties, you know, and then he's got lose 273 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 1: these Clark County ballots by less than twenty twenty five points, soum. 274 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 1: Is it possible. Absolutely, it's possible. But if you were gonna, 275 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:10,360 Speaker 1: if you were gonna just bet, I think you'd have 276 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:12,800 Speaker 1: to say the mass those the favor to end up winning. Bye, 277 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 1: you know, maybe as little as three, three to five 278 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 1: thousand votes. Unbelievable. Unbelievable anyway, We appreciate it, Victor Jakes, 279 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 1: thanks so much with the Vegas Review Journal. We appreciate 280 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 1: your time, sir. Twenty five to the top of the hour, 281 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 1: eight hundred nine four one Sean on this Friday, and 282 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,360 Speaker 1: I wish we knew the results from election day, but 283 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 1: sadly we don't. Before we get to the phones, Joey 284 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:40,840 Speaker 1: Biden having trouble reading is teleprompter or speech? Listen? The 285 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 1: International Energy Agency recently concluded that our significant climate investment 286 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:51,280 Speaker 1: will quote help turbo charge the commerge, the enter the 287 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:58,840 Speaker 1: turbo charge the emerging global clean entery, clean energy to economy. 288 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 1: I was reading the sorry, oh, it says okay. And 289 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 1: here remember he's reading the prompter that's like says stop 290 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 1: here says he'll go and stop here, which is a 291 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 1: note to him. It's not meant to be read anyway. 292 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 1: To our busy phones. We go. Carlos in the great 293 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 1: state of Texas today. Carl Hi, how are you glad 294 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 1: you called, sir? And Happy Friday to you. I think 295 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 1: if you're as tired as I am, you're pretty tired. 296 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 1: What's going on? Happy to speak to you on this 297 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:32,320 Speaker 1: veterans today, and even happier that Texas sent betto packing 298 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 1: once again. But what I wanted to get your views 299 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 1: on is Siderman going forward looking back at the debate performance, 300 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,520 Speaker 1: and not even his performance. A debate is really just 301 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 1: a conversation between two people at a time. I ask 302 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,760 Speaker 1: you a question like, Kashawn, what's your favorite restaurant? And 303 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:56,000 Speaker 1: why you have sixty seconds? And that's about all it is, 304 00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:59,400 Speaker 1: one person at a time. Now, for that debate, he 305 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 1: needed a leprompter. He needed built in pauses so he 306 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,159 Speaker 1: had a chance to read and process the information before 307 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 1: he could come up with an answer. So what are 308 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,600 Speaker 1: they going to do in the sentence Senate? Are they 309 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:13,520 Speaker 1: going to put a teleprompter or some closed catching system 310 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 1: on the floor of the Senate for him? Listen, I 311 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:21,199 Speaker 1: would assume, So I would assume that's possible. You know, 312 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,200 Speaker 1: Oz didn't have to agree to this, but there wouldn't 313 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,399 Speaker 1: have been a debate otherwise. And I think it was 314 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:29,840 Speaker 1: in the interest of the people of Pennsylvania to at 315 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,159 Speaker 1: least see one debate. Look, I have a lot of 316 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,480 Speaker 1: problems with Pennsylvania. Number One, that debate didn't occur until 317 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,720 Speaker 1: the end of October. By that time, I think they 318 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 1: have had six hundred thousand votes cast in the Commonwealth 319 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:47,320 Speaker 1: of Pennsylvania. It's and remember it's not like Federman was 320 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,840 Speaker 1: being questioned by the media mob. He got the Biden treatment, 321 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 1: which is show up hardly anywhere, hide in the basement, 322 00:17:55,520 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 1: have clever people running your social media accounts making fun 323 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 1: of doctor Oz, He's from New Jersey, crew Dete, etc. Etc. 324 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 1: And that worked for them. It worked for Biden in many, 325 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,159 Speaker 1: many ways. The one thing he couldn't do is go 326 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 1: out and give any real long speech. And if he 327 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,160 Speaker 1: did do an appearance, it would be like five minutes 328 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,720 Speaker 1: or less because he wasn't capable of doing much more. 329 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:24,919 Speaker 1: I don't wish him ill health. I don't wish anybody 330 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:30,359 Speaker 1: ill health. For me, it was the issues, and sadly, unfortunately, 331 00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:33,439 Speaker 1: I think you know, we now look at the final numbers. 332 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:38,440 Speaker 1: I think Mastriano lost by fourteen points. It's the largest margin, 333 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:43,679 Speaker 1: according to Selena Zito, that Shapiro got in terms of 334 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:47,720 Speaker 1: being governor not running for reelection. That has happens like 335 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 1: the nineteen forties. And unfortunately, Mastriano's position I believe on 336 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,640 Speaker 1: abortion played a big part in this, as he makes 337 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,160 Speaker 1: no exceptions for rape incest to the mother's life. I'm 338 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 1: giving a political analysis is here. I know some people 339 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,200 Speaker 1: don't agree with that position, or may agree with him, 340 00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,920 Speaker 1: but that's not the point. Politically, it's not a viable position, 341 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:11,800 Speaker 1: especially in a state like Pennsylvania. And you know, there 342 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 1: was a lot of party switches that went on, or 343 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,639 Speaker 1: when you vote for one party for governor and another 344 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:23,359 Speaker 1: party for the Senate, that's a very hard ask of people, 345 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,920 Speaker 1: because if you like me, I went in every Republican 346 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,280 Speaker 1: was also on the conservative line. You get to register 347 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,320 Speaker 1: as a conservative in New York, and I went straight 348 00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:34,960 Speaker 1: across the ticket and vote for every conservative in New York. 349 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:40,160 Speaker 1: And because I want, I prefer to identify myself as 350 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 1: I really am, it's as a conservative first, and I 351 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 1: wish every Republican was more conservative. So I think that 352 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:51,439 Speaker 1: vote splitting is what it's called. Look, Oz did it 353 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:54,160 Speaker 1: in double digits. He pulled it off in double digits, 354 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:58,600 Speaker 1: and it's a very very difficult thing to do. That's 355 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:02,439 Speaker 1: my analysis of it. And the media was complicit. Again, 356 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:06,440 Speaker 1: it was very Joe Biden Ish, and unfortunately, the people 357 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 1: of Pennsylvania now have the most radical human being ever 358 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:13,920 Speaker 1: voted into the United States Senate, maybe a close second 359 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:17,920 Speaker 1: as Raphael Warnock. Although Rafael Warnock on December six can 360 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:21,159 Speaker 1: be defeated by herschel Walker based on some of the 361 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 1: news today that race has even taken on more importance 362 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,680 Speaker 1: that it had, if that was even possible. So I 363 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,720 Speaker 1: just offer the sake of the people of Philadelphia that 364 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,480 Speaker 1: Surman can find a way to be functional in real 365 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 1: time in a meaningful way, because he deserves that. Now 366 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,680 Speaker 1: that he said, and it raises another point, did people 367 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:44,680 Speaker 1: really factor in whether or not they'll have a senator 368 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:47,440 Speaker 1: that's that's capable enough to the job in the task 369 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 1: of being senator? Now, look, it's certainly not as hard 370 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:53,960 Speaker 1: as being a president, but it's a hard job. And 371 00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,640 Speaker 1: I but to me, I think most people Democrats were 372 00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:02,600 Speaker 1: so divided they there was no room for nuance. You're 373 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:04,919 Speaker 1: going to vote for a Democrat because Democrat is going 374 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 1: to be a rubber stamp for the new Green deo 375 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:11,879 Speaker 1: radical socialism, a rubber stamp for defund dismantle, no bail laws, 376 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:15,399 Speaker 1: a rubber stamp for open borders, a rubber stamp for 377 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 1: no domestic energy production. And you know, the net result 378 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 1: is only going to get worse for we the people. 379 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna make it. I think things are 380 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 1: economically in every other way, you know, Joe Biden said 381 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:30,920 Speaker 1: he's not going to change the thing. I don't expect 382 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 1: him to change the thing. And I had even predicted this, 383 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,919 Speaker 1: whether Republicans had had a red wave or not. We 384 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:40,399 Speaker 1: did not predict this red wave. We did just the opposite. 385 00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,240 Speaker 1: I said these races would be razor thin and close. 386 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,000 Speaker 1: You're seeing that play out in Nevada, You're seeing a 387 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:49,560 Speaker 1: play out in Arizona. And I think how people take 388 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:53,200 Speaker 1: a little bit more time and would have considered these things. 389 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 1: You know, maybe that wave could have emerged, but it didn't, 390 00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 1: and that's people are just I don't know where they 391 00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:03,320 Speaker 1: got out their information from. Anyway, appreciate the call, Thanks 392 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:06,080 Speaker 1: for being with us. Glad you think so much of 393 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 1: Pennsylvania and you're in Texas. Dennis is in the great 394 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 1: state of New Hampshire. They'll live free or die, State 395 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 1: of New Hampshire down, Dennis. I don't understand your state either. 396 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 1: You know, you elect a common sense conservative and christ 397 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,160 Speaker 1: and new new as your governor. He wins by double digits, 398 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:23,800 Speaker 1: and then the same voters the voted for him turn 399 00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:27,880 Speaker 1: around and they reelect Maggie Hassan, who is a radical 400 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 1: leftist New Green Deal socialist rubbers, Stamford, Biden and Schumer, 401 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 1: and I can't reconcile the thinking behind that. Can you 402 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:41,159 Speaker 1: help me out. I'm trying to figure out the logic, 403 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 1: and I'm a small business owner of the Hampshire and 404 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,160 Speaker 1: I'm a traveling technician. I driv Arona jis a truck 405 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 1: and I've been paying between five and six dollars a 406 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:57,639 Speaker 1: gallon for the past fifteen months at least. By the 407 00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 1: way things are going to now we have a shortage 408 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 1: of diesel, things are going to get worse for you. 409 00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 1: There are trucking companies I know that can't make money 410 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:08,399 Speaker 1: going out of business right now, and things are going 411 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,359 Speaker 1: to get worse before they get better. And on top 412 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 1: of that, you know, you know you live in New Hampshire. 413 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 1: You're part of the entire New England electric grid. The 414 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:23,480 Speaker 1: electric grid they're warning you all may go down this 415 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,639 Speaker 1: winter because they don't have the natural gas to even 416 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 1: keep the grid going, never mind the natural gas that 417 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,720 Speaker 1: is going to be needed for people to heat their 418 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,359 Speaker 1: homes this winter. And on top of that, then you're 419 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 1: gonna have a thirty percent price increase whether you heat 420 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 1: your home by oil or gas. And it may be 421 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:47,320 Speaker 1: much higher as as supplies decrease. That's all happening now. 422 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:51,399 Speaker 1: It's scary times. I've got plenty of chuck food for 423 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 1: the splinter, but there's people out there that probably don't 424 00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:58,120 Speaker 1: have that option. So I went out to vote, and 425 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 1: it seems to me there was a lot of people. 426 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:05,439 Speaker 1: I went down initially the vote and the line was 427 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,080 Speaker 1: down the highway out of the parking lot. So I 428 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 1: end up going back again. It was still a line. 429 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,480 Speaker 1: Eventually we got in. Then there was a line of 430 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 1: people coming out of the door. I got into line. 431 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,199 Speaker 1: They said, no, this is off for new registrations. I 432 00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,120 Speaker 1: was like, huh, all right, so you get to register 433 00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:23,080 Speaker 1: the same day voting. Listen, We've got to change. We've 434 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 1: got to change. This is I go back to an 435 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 1: argument that I made earlier, and that is, if Canada 436 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:35,800 Speaker 1: and France and South Korea and the UK all used 437 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:40,200 Speaker 1: paper ballots all day of and they get one hundred 438 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,320 Speaker 1: percent of the vote count that night and nobody questions 439 00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:46,360 Speaker 1: the results, why don't we go back to that system 440 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:50,440 Speaker 1: instead of worrying about whether tabulators are tabulating or whether 441 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:52,720 Speaker 1: or not, you know, we can actually count the votes. 442 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,359 Speaker 1: Florida can count seven and a half million votes, and 443 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 1: they can do it in you know, less than five hours. 444 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:03,320 Speaker 1: Paper ball write in your votes, count them up. Yeah, Partisans, 445 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 1: observers watch the voting and watch the vote counting, and 446 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:09,919 Speaker 1: we're done now. That would be fair to everybody. No 447 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:13,200 Speaker 1: Democrat wants my system. Why is that? Because they think 448 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 1: that it works out in their favorite of what to 449 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 1: have the chaos we're currently having. They don't want voter 450 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:23,840 Speaker 1: ID laws. Why because it benefits them politically? It's insane anyway, 451 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:27,880 Speaker 1: appreciate the call Thomas Connecticut. Next Sean Hannity show what's 452 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 1: up Thomas? How are you hey? Sean? How's it going? 453 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:36,119 Speaker 1: Prior to Friday? Pappy Friday? Or two prior to COVID 454 00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:40,199 Speaker 1: March twenty twenty two. In Blue State, Connecticut, each municipality 455 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:44,879 Speaker 1: has a Democrat and a Republican voter registration to each municipality, 456 00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:48,920 Speaker 1: we have same day voting. You must show ID when 457 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,920 Speaker 1: voting in person. It's a paper ballot. When you vote, 458 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:55,440 Speaker 1: the machine is not connected to the Internet, and at 459 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:57,680 Speaker 1: the end of the night, when the poll closes, the 460 00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:01,239 Speaker 1: machine tabulates the vote. And even five minutes before the 461 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:05,199 Speaker 1: doors closed, people from the campaign of press to go 462 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 1: in there and once they print out the receipt, they'll 463 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:09,760 Speaker 1: put one for the public to see, so you can 464 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,919 Speaker 1: see who voted, who won right then and there to 465 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:15,920 Speaker 1: vote APPS and keep ballot. In Connecticut you have to 466 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,160 Speaker 1: say a couple of criteriats. You have to be active 467 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 1: service in the armed forces, APPS and from town illness, 468 00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:25,720 Speaker 1: physically disabled or duty or an elected official or a 469 00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 1: poll worker. And if there's a recount, sean you could 470 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:34,440 Speaker 1: have one of your representative. Each connect can have a representative. 471 00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 1: They're watching the recount. This is before they before they 472 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,399 Speaker 1: open up the machine. So if we could do this 473 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:42,840 Speaker 1: in blue state Connecticut, why can't we do it everywhere else? 474 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:44,960 Speaker 1: And this is part of the COVID of March of 475 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 1: twenty twenty. They can fix this with a blink of 476 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 1: an eye. They just have to have the willingness to 477 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:54,959 Speaker 1: do it. You know, it's missing, Thomas, common sense, willingness 478 00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:58,639 Speaker 1: to do it. There's no other reason why. And I 479 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:00,520 Speaker 1: don't know how many more time we're gonna have to 480 00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,680 Speaker 1: go through this mess before people have had it. People 481 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:08,320 Speaker 1: are fed up, but we really you know it is 482 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:10,720 Speaker 1: you know, Joe Biden don't like to say that threatened 483 00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:15,119 Speaker 1: Republicans are a threat to democracy. Apparently that resonated with 484 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:19,000 Speaker 1: more people than we know. It doesn't make sense that 485 00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:22,160 Speaker 1: Republicans are winning what six million more votes on House 486 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:25,200 Speaker 1: races and we have you know, we still haven't closed 487 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:30,240 Speaker 1: out the account the counting in some of these house races. 488 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:34,520 Speaker 1: It's unbelievable to me. Sean, I think what Republicans have 489 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:38,920 Speaker 1: to do in these districts that do early voting. They 490 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,840 Speaker 1: have to get their voters out early, especially now herschel 491 00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:45,200 Speaker 1: Walker down in Georgia, to get about spending money on 492 00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,639 Speaker 1: running ads, spend money on getting people to knock on 493 00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,520 Speaker 1: doors and make phone calls, especially when early voting happens 494 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 1: in Georgia. Get those people out to vote early. That's 495 00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 1: why you don't have you don't have to expect this 496 00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 1: big number on election day until you know those states 497 00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,520 Speaker 1: decide to go to one same day voting. The Republican 498 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:08,080 Speaker 1: Party has to learn what the Democrats are doing and 499 00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:10,800 Speaker 1: take advantage of early voting. You can you can't do. 500 00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:13,040 Speaker 1: You can't have what happened when doctor Oz up in 501 00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:16,320 Speaker 1: Pennsylvania the day of the election. He's down by seven 502 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:19,520 Speaker 1: hundred thousand votes and you're trying to make up the 503 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,480 Speaker 1: early voting from Freederman on the day of the election, 504 00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:26,680 Speaker 1: you have to take advantage of early voting. I think 505 00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:29,080 Speaker 1: Republicans if this is going to be the system that 506 00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:32,720 Speaker 1: the country adopts, which is dumb, then we're going to 507 00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:34,639 Speaker 1: have to embrace it, and we're going to have to 508 00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,520 Speaker 1: include integrity measures, and that has to happen on the 509 00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:40,480 Speaker 1: state level. It's you know, we don't want to federalize 510 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,280 Speaker 1: the elections. If Democrats get a hold of it, forget it. 511 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:46,080 Speaker 1: We're in deep trouble anyway, Thank you, my friend. Eight 512 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:47,960 Speaker 1: hundred nine one Sean. If you want to be a 513 00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:48,680 Speaker 1: part of the program,
