00:01:02.400 You hate taxis.
00:01:04.000 Okay, then you want to look around.
00:01:05.300 This is the 77 WABC
00:01:08.360 minicast.
00:01:10.860 I want to talk to
00:01:11.960 Sandra. She's in New Jersey.
00:01:13.900 Maybe you got that joke. You want to talk
00:01:15.980 about mail-in ballots. What do you got to say, Sandra?
00:01:18.040 Yes. Well, first I want to say you've done
00:01:19.880 a great job tonight. I'm very
00:01:21.740 impressed with you. Yeah.
00:01:23.480 i i am you you've been doing this for many hours and it just gets better and better yeah i'm
00:01:29.040 drinking my kosher kosher passover coca-cola that's what's keeping me going tonight so go
00:01:34.140 ahead so okay about the mail-in ballots you know that donald trump just wrote an executive order
00:01:39.540 number 14399 he signed it saying cheating is it's really bad it's like legendary it's like out of
00:01:48.360 control. So here's what the order is going to be like. He's going to require that the federal,
00:01:55.200 there's going to be a master list, and it's going to have a list of everyone who's supposed to vote
00:02:00.440 on that list. And it's going to be handled by the Department of Homeland Security and the Social
00:02:05.680 Security Administration together. And it's going to prohibit the U.S. Postal Service from sending
00:02:12.260 absentee ballots to those who are not included on these lists sounds like a good idea to me it does
00:02:19.240 um it does sandra and uh you know the thing is um this is going to be challenging the courts
00:02:26.660 and i'm not even sure the supreme court will uphold president trump's very lawful
00:02:30.840 and common sense executive order on this i i don't know if the supreme court will do it you
00:02:36.360 know there's a misconception in america that we have a quote conservative majority or conservative
00:02:41.820 of the Supreme Court. No. We have six justices in the court who vote common sense most of
00:02:47.820 the time. All of them are not really conservatives. They're just common sense. And we have three
00:02:53.440 justices who'd never, almost never vote common sense, except in some cases. Luckily, common
00:03:01.040 sense doesn't come into play in a lot of the cases. So there's still a lot of eight to
00:03:05.060 one and nine nothing decisions on the court. Sometimes common sense isn't a factor. It's
00:03:09.560 just a small piece of minutiae that the court knows and just helps to apply it.
00:03:16.200 The courts are going to block this.
00:03:18.300 I don't think that President Trump's executive order is going to be in effect in time or
00:03:23.420 in place for these midterm elections, which is a shame because the only chance that this
00:03:28.560 is going to have to actually become the law is if the Supreme Court does uphold it, and
00:03:34.560 if they did, it would probably be six to three or five to four if we're lucky, but
00:03:38.520 I don't think it's going to get there in time. Hopefully it will. But they're going to they're going to if President Trump signed an executive order that children should be loved, the Democrats would take that to court, too, to challenge that, let alone something like this, which threatens which is an existential threat to them, especially in a number of states where they where they're using mail-in ballots and crazy rules about mail-in ballots, like accepting them days after the election is over, accepting them without any without any signature signature verification.
00:04:08.520 administration etc etc uh and like they did in 2020 which i i maintain was the truth that many
00:04:15.540 extra ballots were cast you know we still had fewer people vote in 2024 than 2020 which makes
00:04:22.200 no sense whatsoever you're telling me people weren't engaged uh several million americans
00:04:28.720 who voted in 2020 just decided they didn't care anymore it's not it's not a logical result it's
00:04:35.140 not a logical conclusion. So, of course, there was ballot inflation in 2020. And, of course,
00:04:41.640 there's people cheating. How do I know that? Because I understand human nature. Elections
00:04:46.260 are a thing of value. Winning an election has great value in power. And also, there's a price
00:04:51.980 tag, too. And that changes. But there's a value in winning an election, which means people will
00:04:56.700 try to steal it. How naive do you have to be in your understanding of human nature not to think
00:05:02.660 that people aren't trying to steal things of value all the time. 0.99
00:05:05.700 It doesn't mean you have to be a jerk about things 0.95
00:05:08.360 and put 17 locks on every single thing 0.98
00:05:11.040 and punch everybody who comes within your item of value.
00:05:14.020 It just means you have to secure it in some way 0.98
00:05:15.980 and be prepared to do so.
00:05:18.360 And that's true for your home, it's true for your car,
00:05:21.160 and it should be true for our elections, but it's not.
00:05:24.780 And I don't think that Democrats think
00:05:27.860 that those elections are on the up and up.
00:05:29.380 They know they're not.
00:05:30.720 They know that they're not.
00:05:32.660 And they are using fraud in so many cases.
00:05:36.020 They are encouraging fraud. 0.95
00:05:37.140 They are encouraging illegal aliens to vote. 0.62
00:05:38.940 They're using things called ballot harvesting, which should never be allowed because that, too, is not a secret ballot. 0.96
00:05:43.540 If someone is coming into your neighborhood and helping you fill out a ballot for you and casting it for you, that's not a secret ballot.
00:05:50.260 I learned in fifth grade for all the right reasons that if it isn't a secret ballot, it isn't legitimate.
