The Charlie Kirk Show - A Path Forward with Chris Buskirk

00:00:00.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.

00:00:01.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campuses.

00:00:03.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

00:00:07.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

00:00:10.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:00:11.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:00:12.000 His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.

00:00:19.000 Turning point USA.

00:00:21.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:00:29.000 That's why we are here.

00:00:33.000 You guys have all seen Social Dilemma, Netflix. 0.86

00:00:35.000 Well, maybe not Netflix because they're a pedophile network.

00:00:38.000 But if you've seen Social Dilemma, which again, I'm not exactly sure how you square that, they talk about how tech insiders explain how social media is engineered to exploit users' data for profit.

00:00:49.000 They call it surveillance capitalism.

00:00:52.000 Look, I'm cool with normal capitalism where I'm willing to participate in the transaction, like every time I go to the store, buy food.

00:00:58.000 But when my data is being harvested so tech billionaires can get even richer, that's where I draw the line.

00:01:03.000 And that's why I put a layer of protection around my data with ExpressVPN.

00:01:07.000 Every time you use the internet, big tech companies and the surveillance capitalists and the oligarchs, they track your searches, messages, and video history.

00:01:15.000 But when you run through ExpressVPN, it hides your IP address, which websites can use to personally identify you.

00:01:20.000 That makes your activity more difficult to trace and sell to advertisers.

00:01:23.000 ExpressVPN also encrypts 100% of your internet data to keep you safe from hackers and from prying eyes.

00:01:29.000 Many VPNs slow down your internet, but not ExpressVPN.

00:01:32.000 It's incredibly fast and easy to use.

00:01:34.000 Just one tap of a button and you're protected.

00:01:36.000 Expressvpn.com slash Charlie.

00:01:38.000 That's E-X-P-R-E-S-S VPN.com slash Charlie.

00:01:42.000 Expressvpn.com slash Charlie.

00:01:43.000 I have an ExpressVPN on right now.

00:01:51.000 Hello, everybody.

00:01:52.000 Charlie Kirk here.

00:01:53.000 Welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show.

00:01:54.000 I'm joined by my friend and editor-in-chief and the mastermind behind American Greatness, AMGreatness.com, Chris Buzzkirk.

00:02:00.000 Hey, good to see you.

00:02:01.000 Chris, I have to compliment you.

00:02:03.000 Every poll you guys commissioned was incredibly accurate going into this election.

00:02:07.000 Every single one of them.

00:02:08.000 No, no.

00:02:10.000 I was informed ahead of time before the election that they were fake news and those were those were biased Republican polls.

00:02:15.000 You had Trump right on the margin of error in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, ahead in North Carolina and Florida.

00:02:22.000 Yeah, Arizona.

00:02:24.000 We had Arizona by one.

00:02:25.000 And we're going to see where Eric.

00:02:27.000 And I think we're going to win.

00:02:27.000 So what's the Arizona update?

00:02:29.000 Because we're here in Arizona right now.

00:02:30.000 We're getting lots of emails from people.

00:02:31.000 So, okay, so why don't we wind back to Tuesday night?

00:02:35.000 Fox makes the call Tuesday night and says, yep, we're calling Arizona for Joe Biden.

00:02:40.000 He's going to win, blah, blah, blah.

00:02:42.000 At that point, there's like 73% of the vote counted.

00:02:45.000 There's a million votes still outstanding, right?

00:02:47.000 This isn't like, this isn't California where a million votes isn't that much.

00:02:50.000 This is Arizona.

00:02:51.000 That's like a third of the vote.

00:02:52.000 There's a lot of Republicans in this state.

00:02:54.000 Yeah, right.

00:02:55.000 100%.

00:02:56.000 And the reporting after that says that they had a data error where they thought there were only 500,000 votes left.

00:03:04.000 Okay.

00:03:04.000 I mean, maybe that's true.

00:03:06.000 Maybe it isn't.

00:03:07.000 But like, I was just looking at this stuff online and that it didn't hold water to me.

00:03:11.000 I didn't have the data, the data coming into me that they did.

00:03:14.000 But here's where we are on Arizona.

00:03:18.000 Ever since, ever since Fox made that call, and I want to talk about that separately, but ever since Fox made that call, Trump has been winning the count significantly.

00:03:28.000 So the election day votes, meaning votes that were literally cast on election day and then were count and then were counted that night and then early Wednesday morning, Trump won 65.35 across the state.

00:03:40.000 Okay.

00:03:40.000 6535.

00:03:42.000 6535, which meant that he cut into the lead that Biden had the vote by mail.

00:03:47.000 Significantly.

00:03:48.000 Yeah, the vote by mail, which everybody knew, the vote by mail was where the Democrats put all their eggs early on.

00:03:53.000 And it was a heavily Biden vote.

00:03:56.000 But the early in-person and the day of voting was very Trump-friendly.

00:04:00.000 So since then, they've been counting the early in-person.

00:04:03.000 They've been counting some provisionals and just different things that have come in.

00:04:07.000 But basically, stuff that was not Election Day and was not the early vote by mail.

00:04:11.000 And Trump has been winning that also, not in 6535, but he is in YouTube.

00:04:15.000 He's been winning at kind of 59 or 60 to like 40.

00:04:18.000 And that's enough to win.

00:04:19.000 That's enough to win.

00:04:20.000 Yesterday afternoon, it was like there were 605,000 ballots left to be counted, which, by the way, is another issue.

00:04:27.000 It's like a day later.

00:04:28.000 There's still that many, but that's separate.

00:04:31.000 And he had to win like 57.5% of those.

00:04:34.000 So the latest, there were two updates last night of Maricopa County ballots.

00:04:39.000 One of them, it was like 50-some thousand ballots.

00:04:42.000 He won that 59%.

00:04:43.000 There's another count of like 60-some thousand ballots that was dropped late, late last night.

00:04:49.000 He won that about 58%.

00:04:52.000 So he's doing what he needs to do.

00:04:53.000 He keeps closing the gap.

00:04:54.000 There's still a lot of ballots to be counted.

00:04:57.000 There's an interesting little, I don't know if this is going to be something that's just an anomaly when we look back on it or if this meant something, but there's like 100,000 ballots of that 600 that were from Pima County, which is Tucson.

00:05:10.000 That's basically for people that own Arizona.

00:05:12.000 That's like the blue part of our state, or maybe I should say the bluest.

00:05:18.000 And he won about a 6,000.

00:05:21.000 They counted a batch of like 6,000.

00:05:23.000 Trump actually won it out right now.

00:05:24.000 Well, my theory on that is that the Republicans that live in that county waited to the last couple of days to turn in their ballots.

00:05:30.000 Yeah, that's the theory.

00:05:32.000 I think that.

00:05:32.000 Which then will skew the whole data set in Trump's direction to 60% to 61%, which I think will put him on the way to win.

00:05:38.000 You're 100% correct.

00:05:40.000 So, yeah, we hope so.

00:05:41.000 I mean, like, everything is, you were all so cautious because we were waiting to get this ripped out from under us at the last second.

00:05:47.000 Arizona is hard to steal, and things aren't, in fact, going in Trump's direction.

00:05:51.000 Yeah, and Arizona, of all the states that's still in play, and I want to go state by state, is the hardest to steal because we've had the most amount of Republicans in office and a lot of eyeballs on the process for years here.

00:06:02.000 Yeah, this is absolutely true.

00:06:05.000 There's a rally today.

00:06:06.000 I think that's really important for Trump supporters.

00:06:09.000 I've been talking to people about this offline.

00:06:11.000 I've been talking about it a lot online.

00:06:12.000 I think it's very, very important for Trump supporters, for people who back the president, for people who just want a straight, fair, honest, transparent vote count to be out there, you know, to get together, to have these rallies, to go to the places where votes are being counted, and to make sure that there are eyes on this stuff.

00:06:31.000 Because when you look away, you don't know what happens.

00:06:35.000 And we've seen these things happen before.

00:06:37.000 We saw it, like, for instance, in 2018 in California, the Republicans lost Young Kim's seat.

00:06:44.000 And she's winning right now, but they'll probably steal it from her.

00:06:46.000 I actually just got an update on that when I was driving down here.

00:06:49.000 That actually looks good.

00:06:51.000 I mean, there's not a lot of ballots left.

00:06:53.000 They're not going to be surprised this time, though.

00:06:55.000 That's right.

00:06:56.000 There are more eyes on it.

00:06:57.000 And that's really the key.

00:06:59.000 There's got to be eyes on the whole process.

00:07:00.000 And there's no eyes in Atlanta.

00:07:02.000 They're doing whatever they want.

00:07:04.000 It's totally outrageous.

00:07:05.000 And there's a Republican Secretary of State.

00:07:07.000 Where is the government?

00:07:08.000 Where is the governor of Georgia right now?

00:07:10.000 Republicans have been caught flat-footed by this.

00:07:12.000 They're not used to an era in which you have to have more people actively involved in the vote counting process.

00:07:20.000 But Chris, here's where I'm frustrated.

00:07:22.000 You and I were talking about this back in June about how they're going to try and steal this.

00:07:26.000 Why was there not a well-funded infrastructure?

00:07:29.000 I mean, we're running television advertisements for hundreds of millions of dollars across the country, which maybe moved the dial 0.1%, but we don't have an infrastructure in the urban cities to win the entire state.

00:07:40.000 And to verify the vote, to make sure that it's transparent, it's accurate, it's fair, and it's legal.

00:07:44.000 And those are really important things.

00:07:46.000 And there's a couple of things I think going on for Republicans here.

00:07:50.000 One is that, for instance, in Georgia or Arizona, I think Republicans honestly were complacent, just thought, yeah, you know, maybe we're not going to win those states by 10, but we're going to lock them up by two or three.

00:07:59.000 We don't have to think about it too much.

00:08:00.000 Republican governor in Arizona. 0.94

00:08:02.000 We do have a Democrat Secretary of State.

00:08:04.000 We have a Democrat who's the Maricopa County Recorder.

00:08:07.000 And then, you know, they think Georgia, you know, Republican, Republican governor, Republican Secretary of State, we should be fine.

00:08:12.000 No, you're never, you're never fine.

00:08:15.000 You have to verify this.

00:08:16.000 Like, Reagan, trust but verify.

00:08:18.000 We're going to have our people there.

00:08:19.000 We have to have the infrastructure in place to make sure that these things are fair and legal.

00:08:24.000 Do you believe what's happening in Georgia is fraudulent?

00:08:26.000 Sure looks like it.

00:08:28.000 I'll tell you, first of all, I guess let me go think about this from or talk about it.

00:08:34.000 If you go back to election night.

00:08:37.000 Okay, so there were a handful of large cities, major urban centers in this country, and they all stopped counting election night.

00:08:45.000 What were those cities?

00:08:46.000 They were Atlanta, Philadelphia, Milwaukee, Detroit.

00:08:52.000 Why those cities?

00:08:54.000 It wasn't Dallas, right?

00:08:56.000 It wasn't Harris County.

00:08:57.000 It wasn't Cook County, Illinois.

00:08:59.000 No, because everybody knew that those were not relevant.

00:09:02.000 Illinois was going to Biden, Texas, despite all the talk ahead of time.

00:09:07.000 Texas was going to Trump.

00:09:09.000 Everybody knew that.

00:09:10.000 And by the way, footnote here, for all the talk about Texas going to Trump won Texas by the same margin.

00:09:16.000 He won Texas.

00:09:17.000 And he did better in western Texas counties along the border and did better with Hispanics.

00:09:21.000 Did worse with white liberals in the suburbs of Dallas.

00:09:26.000 Here's the irony of this election: is that if Trump loses, God forbid, and I'm not predicting that, but it's like if he did, and I can tell the story in the reverse, which is if Trump wins, that's a happier way to do it.

00:09:38.000 Let me do it that way.

00:09:38.000 If Trump wins, the irony here will be that he lost the vote of suburban white liberals, particularly suburban white liberal women.

00:09:48.000 And the thing that put him over the edge was an increase, it increases in the Hispanic vote and the black vote. 0.76

00:09:53.000 That is just like the most, regardless of how it goes, that's like the most delicious irony. 1.00

00:09:59.000 If he ends up winning and pulling this up.

00:10:01.000 Yeah, even if he doesn't wind up winning, he's going to wind up.

00:10:03.000 It will be because of basically what white suburban liberals did and sort of the ones sort of in the middle who, you know, I don't like his tweets or whatever. 0.59

00:10:12.000 He's a racist, and yet he winds up getting a bigger share of the black and Hispanic vote.

00:10:17.000 Chris, what's going on in Milwaukee? 0.98

00:10:18.000 You said you talked to a very smart person that saw that there might have been some funny business.

00:10:24.000 This is actually very interesting, and it's what a lot of people, I think, suspect, but didn't know how to really verbalize or to prove.

00:10:31.000 And it's this.

00:10:32.000 It's that the suspicion, and I think we all know what it is.

00:10:35.000 The suspicion is Democrats look at Trump winning the state of Wisconsin.

00:10:39.000 They say, oh, he's ahead by X. Let's just say, for the sake of argument, let's just say X is 100,000 votes.

00:10:45.000 But they know that Milwaukee is controlled by Democrats.

00:10:48.000 There's a Democrat machine in Milwaukee.

00:10:50.000 Milwaukee is one of the cities that have stopped counting Tuesday night.

00:10:54.000 Why do they stop counting?

00:10:55.000 Because you don't know what you want the total to be yet, right?

00:10:58.000 And so you just wait and you say, okay, well, we're going to take a pause and then get back to us and tell us what you need later.

00:11:04.000 Well, okay, so people say, well, voter fraud is really hard.

00:11:08.000 And you could maybe a few hundred votes here or there, maybe not, you know, but you can never do it on a big scale.

00:11:13.000 It would be too obvious.

00:11:14.000 Well, what are the, there's a couple elements to that.

00:11:17.000 Well, if it's obvious, how would you see it?

00:11:19.000 How would you detect it?

00:11:20.000 And then the second part is, well, what would you do about it?

00:11:24.000 And so what this friend of mine did is very smart, Eric Monday person, basically takes all of the data on the ballots out of Milwaukee, separates by Republicans, separate, and Democrats, and then does a pretty sophisticated statistical model on those respective ballot pools and says, does this seem right?

00:11:46.000 Is this like what you would expect in a normal distribution?

00:11:49.000 And it takes into account all the sorts of things that we know happen in real life.

00:11:54.000 Like, yeah, we know that there are certain neighborhoods that are more Republican.

00:11:57.000 Even in a Democrat city like Milwaukee, there's a certain precinct that skews Republican or whatever.

00:12:03.000 And models it out and said, you know, is this something, does this look like a real-world distribution of how the Republican votes were distributed across Milwaukee?

00:12:13.000 Does it say, yeah, like there's the concentrations you would expect, there's the total randomness that you would expect.

00:12:21.000 The example used is, you know, for instance, and I'll flip to the Democrat side here and say, you know, for instance, you would expect a Democrat, even in a Democrat-heavy area, that there's a particular precinct.

00:12:33.000 Yeah, maybe Biden did actually literally get every single vote in that precinct, but there's some other precinct where it was 60-40 and Trump outperformed.

00:12:41.000 You know, maybe it was because the guy who was supposed to drive the van to take 10 people to the polling place, he got sick and didn't do it.

00:12:46.000 You know, just random, real-world variability.

00:12:50.000 And so when you do, when you're on the Democrats' side of this for Milwaukee, he says there is zero randomness at all.

00:12:57.000 In fact, it is a perfectly even algorithmic distribution, which is effectively a statistical near impossibility.

00:13:05.000 So what you're saying is that through an independent analysis of the data available in Milwaukee, a very smart guy that you're friends with, quantitative, inputted all the data and he saw no acts of randomness in the voting patterns for Democrats in Milwaukee.

00:13:21.000 So what that tells us is that they didn't do all the work.

00:13:23.000 They said, oh, we need X number of votes.

00:13:27.000 Put it in.

00:13:27.000 And then you just distribute them across the precincts by not putting in the randomness that would cover the tracks.

00:13:33.000 Right.

00:13:34.000 So what, so basically the next step of this is, okay, well, what do you do about it, right?

00:13:39.000 So do you think that's legit?

00:13:40.000 It's somebody I trust.

00:13:41.000 So yes, I think it's legitimate.

00:13:43.000 And then let me, the other layer on this is that having done all this, looked at it, and my, you know, my own background is like I can do the modeling of it.

00:13:52.000 I only had a short period of time to look at it, but eyeballing looks right.

00:13:55.000 But then I go to post to post something about this and see on Twitter that there's another account that it's an anonymous account, but it's somebody that has done very good statistical work on COVID and stuff.

00:14:08.000 Has done the exact same analysis and had just posted it online.

00:14:13.000 And so if anybody wants to see it, I retweeted it.

00:14:17.000 So you can see it at the Chris Busberg.

00:14:19.000 I retweeted this.

00:14:19.000 Why is this important?

00:14:21.000 What do we do about it?

00:14:22.000 That's always what's the action item here.

00:14:24.000 The action item is this is the forms the basis for a legal challenge.

00:14:28.000 You go into court and say, look, this couldn't literally, this could not have happened.

00:14:31.000 It's statistically unlikely.

00:14:32.000 I mean, to the point of like one in a billion type of chance.

00:14:35.000 One in a billion based on what we saw.

00:14:37.000 And so now hold up.

00:14:39.000 We get a chance to have our lawyers go in and look under the hood and see what was going on with all those ballots in Milwaukee.

00:14:45.000 And the only explanation would be that they inputted a bunch of ballots that they needed.

00:14:50.000 Seems like the most likely explanation.

00:14:52.000 Yeah.

00:14:53.000 Because otherwise it's just too weird.

00:14:55.000 Like it's too, it's like picking the lotto number.

00:15:00.000 I want to tell you guys about Good Ranchers.

00:16:09.000 Okay, so Chris, you've been on top of this better than almost anyone that I've seen.

00:16:13.000 We're in Arizona right now.

00:16:15.000 You called the early Arizona skeptic.

00:16:18.000 You and I were both Arizona skeptics as soon as it happened.

00:16:20.000 We were texting back and forth.

00:16:21.000 You were even ahead of me in the public proclamations of it.

00:16:24.000 I was just more shell-shocked and angry and mad.

00:16:26.000 And you were like, no, no, no, no, we got to get on this.

00:16:29.000 And now we're hawking it.

00:16:30.000 You were talking about the statistical impossibility of what was happening in Milwaukee.

00:16:35.000 Basically, with all the analysis that has been done in Milwaukee, it is almost impossible to believe that there was not some sort of massive input of Democrat ballots because there was no acts of randomness.

00:16:47.000 There's not, yeah, it's too perfect.

00:16:51.000 That's the best way to think about it.

00:16:52.000 So this is, again, this is a model that's been done.

00:16:56.000 We all know models can be wrong.

00:16:57.000 So I guess I want to stipulate that up front.

00:17:00.000 But when you look at these things, this is, and the Trump campaign and the GMP up in Wisconsin are looking with it.

00:17:07.000 Because I know that I've talked to people up there and they said, like in their gut, and just from their observation of what's been going on, they're like, something's not right here, but we don't know how to demonstrate it.

00:17:18.000 We don't know how to prove it.

00:17:19.000 We want to be able to go in.

00:17:20.000 And what their goal is, is they want to be able to make sure that all of the ballots get looked at, go in and review what's happened.

00:17:28.000 They want to have another set of eyes on this stuff.

00:17:30.000 But to do that, they need to get into court.

00:17:32.000 And they need to get a court order on this so they can effectively look under the hood.

00:17:36.000 This is one possible way that the GOP and the Trump campaign up in Wisconsin could potentially mount a successful legal challenge that gets them what they want, which is to go in there and say, hold on, we need to have outside third-party analysis, right?

00:17:52.000 A real analysis of this.

00:17:54.000 And so that's what this is really about.

00:17:56.000 Does the model itself 1,000% prove something?

00:18:00.000 No, but it gives you a strong enough basis to say this is very unusual.

00:18:04.000 The equivalent, you would say, statistically, is if someone walks into the room right now and they'd say, hey, 1682, 2279, those are the lotto numbers tonight.

00:18:11.000 Take it to the bank.

00:18:12.000 And all of a sudden it happens.

00:18:13.000 You'd be like, I want to investigate that.

00:18:14.000 How'd that guy know that?

00:18:16.000 That's kind of what that's basically what you're saying.

00:18:18.000 And by the way, you also happen to be the guy who calls the numbers tonight, right?

00:18:21.000 Yeah, no, exactly.

00:18:23.000 You're talking about a one in a billion.

00:18:24.000 Someone comes with confidence, clarity, and all of a sudden ends up right.

00:18:27.000 You're like, maybe he knew something.

00:18:29.000 There's something not right there.

00:18:31.000 Yeah, there's like the old saying, like there's a pony in there somewhere.

00:18:34.000 Yes.

00:18:34.000 And so, because you're looking at the analysis of the votes that came into Milwaukee County and people on the ground in Milwaukee, by the way, my contacts in Wisconsin, they were calling a definite victory for Trump at 11 o'clock before everything came through.

00:18:49.000 And they said, based on, because Trump overperformed Kenosha County by 28 points.

00:18:54.000 28 points. 0.99

00:18:55.000 I call it the BLM Inc. County.

00:18:57.000 So it happens in BLM Inc. visits your county.

00:19:00.000 And Trump won it by one point in 2016.

00:19:02.000 BLM comes and visits and burns down everything.

00:19:05.000 And next thing you know, it swings for Trump by 28 points. 0.88

00:19:08.000 But people that I really trust in Wisconsin said there was a lot of funny business happening in Milwaukee.

00:19:13.000 And the statistics show that.

00:19:14.000 The statistics sure, look, they give them the basis they need to go in and have people actually look, right?

00:19:19.000 I mean, this is one of my big frustrations.

00:19:21.000 I know you've talked about it too. 0.88

00:19:23.000 So we have all these models out there, right?

00:19:25.000 We have polls.

00:19:26.000 Polls are just a model.

00:19:27.000 We did this with COVID.

00:19:28.000 It's a model.

00:19:29.000 There is a point where you have to get beyond the model and get it.

00:19:32.000 IRL.

00:19:32.000 Let's go in real life.

00:19:33.000 And that's what we want to do is we want to get people IRL in to look at these ballots to see what was, to see what was going on.

00:19:40.000 I mean, the same, you know, There was this prediction that there's a huge landslide for Biden, right?

00:19:48.000 But now let's pick that apart.

00:19:50.000 What happened?

00:19:51.000 Biden was totally going to win Texas, right?

00:19:54.000 Flip Texas blue.

00:19:55.000 Won by six points.

00:19:56.000 Donald Trump won by the same margin that he did in 2016.

00:20:00.000 West Virginia, just as an example, he increased his margin.

00:20:04.000 Despite polls that say he was only going to win by 10.

00:20:06.000 Right.

00:20:06.000 Exactly right.

00:20:07.000 Ohio, which people before the election were saying, yeah, he's going to win, but it's going to be tight, but he'll win.

00:20:13.000 Win by eight and a half points.

00:20:14.000 Yeah, basically the same margin as 2016.

00:20:17.000 So you kind of go down these things and you look, and then you look at, you know, next to Pennsylvania, or next to Ohio, you have Pennsylvania, and you look at the county by county, and you see a bunch of places where Trump overperformed 2016.

00:20:29.000 Okay.

00:20:30.000 But now you're, but now you're supposed to just accept on blind faith that in the Democrat city, nothing that all of a sudden, just magically a couple days later, got hundreds of thousands of votes when we know that the turnout was low early on.

00:20:48.000 But the ballots somehow don't show up until Wednesday or Thursday.

00:20:52.000 You made a great point.

00:20:54.000 The cities in Milwaukee, Philadelphia, Atlanta, and Detroit, in the most important election of our lifetime with the highest voter turnout ever, they knew there was a lot of mail.

00:21:03.000 They called it a night.

00:21:04.000 Who did that?

00:21:06.000 Because Cook County didn't call it a night.

00:21:08.000 Harris County didn't call it a night.

00:21:10.000 Dallas County didn't call it a night.

00:21:12.000 Maricopa County sort of called it a night, but they were a mess.

00:21:15.000 Why is it that every Democrat county that mattered called it a night?

00:21:20.000 Here's the context we have to understand.

00:21:22.000 In 2016, the Democrats did not think Donald Trump could.

00:21:25.000 So they didn't have infrastructure in place for this.

00:21:27.000 They just got caught sleeping.

00:21:28.000 And I think a lot of us knew this.

00:21:31.000 Maybe people didn't know exactly what they were supposed to do, but they weren't going to get caught sleeping again.

00:21:36.000 They weren't going to let Donald Trump go in and win Michigan or Pennsylvania.

00:21:39.000 And they were going to do what they had to do in states where if they needed insurance, like Georgia, which the insurance policy is Atlanta or North Carolina, whatever.

00:21:50.000 But there was no circumstance under which they were not going to have plans in place to try and make sure that those states stayed or turned back to blue.

00:21:59.000 The plan A was the powerful people plan, that somehow the confluence of Hollywood, big tech, Wall Street bankers, international corporations, former globalist Republicans will all come together and somehow the American people will want to commit suicide.

00:22:12.000 And Joe Biden comes out to a bunch of cars honking the horns and he says, thank you very much.

00:22:17.000 I'm so glad I'm going to be your next senator.

00:22:19.000 You know, Adios America, Elizabeth Warren's Treasury Secretary.

00:22:24.000 And then Chuck Schumer comes out and he says, I'm Senate Majority Leader.

00:22:27.000 But it became very clear as Florida rolled in and none of the networks called Florida, this night was going to go very differently.

00:22:32.000 And I was watching the networks.

00:22:34.000 It was really interesting.

00:22:34.000 We knew Florida was Trump's at 8:30, easily.

00:22:37.000 The networks were filibustering.

00:22:39.000 They weren't even calling Florida.

00:22:40.000 They were talking about Virginia.

00:22:41.000 They were talking about all these other weird states and calling them for Biden because there was a playbook that was sent or communicated to the media people that none of these states are going to be called tonight.

00:22:52.000 Filibuster like you're a good old Southern senator trying to kill the Civil Rights Act from the Democrat Party.

00:22:57.000 I mean, I felt like I was watching Strom Thurman on cable television. 0.61

00:23:00.000 They were just wasting time, right? 0.99

00:23:02.000 And meanwhile, they think the American people are stupid that we don't have our counties we can see. 0.99

00:23:07.000 Some people were, oh, Ohio looks really bad. 0.99

00:23:09.000 We come into Ohio, we run the table in Ohio.

00:23:13.000 And then we look at this and we're Clark County, Milwaukee County, Philadelphia, Atlanta, and Detroit call it a night.

00:23:21.000 What are the chances of that?

00:23:24.000 There are no coincidences on election night.

00:23:27.000 That's sort of my rule of thumb.

00:23:29.000 And if you don't like to hear people saying that, then don't do it.

00:23:33.000 Like this is like in a presidential election, the people who are running things like precincts and polling places and count and are overseeing the count, they have a hyper obligation more than at any other time to be transparent, 100% transparent, not to do anything that looks in any way unusual.

00:23:53.000 And they're boarding up windows in downtown Detroit, kicking out poll watchers.

00:23:58.000 In New York, I mean, they're boarding up New York, they're boarding up D.C.

00:24:01.000 But, you know, I posted a video yesterday of Detroit of one of the poll watchers who'd been kicked out, so they won't let us back in.

00:24:07.000 They won't.

00:24:08.000 There's no poll watching happening.

00:24:10.000 So we had the bodies and they're kicking them out.

00:24:12.000 So why do you kick poll watchers out?

00:24:14.000 Because they're filling in ballots or they're doing something.

00:24:16.000 Right.

00:24:16.000 So here's a question.

00:24:17.000 Where's the Department of Justice?

00:24:19.000 It'd be helpful if we were the incumbent.

00:24:21.000 It would be nice, wouldn't it?

00:24:23.000 I feel like we're trying to win back the government, not...

00:24:26.000 But it feels, why is the Department of Justice not sending out letters saying, why is it they're not allowing poll watchers in?

00:24:32.000 Why is it that people's ballots are saying unregistered and canceled?

00:24:36.000 The Obama DOJ went around like a drone squad in southern Yemen towards any sort of Republican precinct that dared even have a line.

00:24:44.000 Right.

00:24:45.000 Where's Barr?

00:24:45.000 Right?

00:24:46.000 Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch went around shooting tomahawk missiles at Republican states.

00:24:51.000 You remember how active that DOJ was?

00:24:53.000 I absolutely do.

00:24:57.000 Look, Republicans, this is one of the reasons Trump was so popular in 2016.

00:25:02.000 He remains popular, which is why I think he won the election.

00:25:05.000 Legitimately, I don't know what the fraud's going to say.

00:25:07.000 There's a report out.

00:25:08.000 I don't know if you saw this today, Charlie.

00:25:09.000 There's a report out in Axios that Mitch McConnell is developing, along with Joe Biden, a list of acceptable candidates.

00:25:16.000 This tells us who they are, exactly who we do.

00:25:19.000 But, you know, look on your favorite senator's Twitter feed with important exceptions.

00:25:24.000 Ted Cruz has actually been quite good.

00:25:25.000 Ted has been really good.

00:25:26.000 Rubio has been good.

00:25:27.000 Cotton's been good.

00:25:28.000 But look at the leadership.

00:25:29.000 McConnell has been silent, has not said a single thing.

00:25:34.000 I will put a little context on it.

00:25:36.000 Yes, I'm very thankful that we're not going to add justice to the Supreme Court.

00:25:38.000 We're not going to have D.C. Puerto Rico estates.

00:25:40.000 But he is the right now, outside of the president, he is the highest-ranking Republican that will be in office in January, assuredly.

00:25:49.000 He is the head of the Republican Party, definitely.

00:25:51.000 So he won his race by 30 or whatever.

00:25:54.000 He's happy because they spent all this money on him.

00:25:56.000 Joni won.

00:25:57.000 Steve won.

00:25:58.000 Tom's going to win.

00:25:59.000 This is not just about parliamentary Senate power anymore.

00:26:04.000 This is a lot more serious.

00:26:06.000 This is the future of a constitutional republic.

00:26:12.000 No matter how this election shakes out, and again, I'm not saying that because I think of Jake Hunt Madley for Trump.

00:26:18.000 I'm not trying to make a comment on that.

00:26:20.000 But the comment I want to make is that regardless of the ultimate outcome of this, half of the country is going to think for sure, 100% in their bones that the election was rigged.

00:26:32.000 How is this sustainable for a republic?

00:26:35.000 It's not, that is the short answer.

00:26:36.000 And that's the problem is that, look, if you look at all of human history, it's just at this tiny amount of people who have ever lived in societies that had some sort of participatory government.

00:26:48.000 There's a belief, I think, sometimes it's explicit, sometimes it's implicit, that this is the end state.

00:26:56.000 We got there, you know, we being like humanity or something.

00:26:59.000 And we were the Americans who were lucky enough to get there first, which is, you know, you just have like, you have free government, you have participatory government, and you have these institutions.

00:27:09.000 And getting in shape doesn't have to be about losing a specific amount of weight or a magic number on the scale.

00:27:18.000 It's about building healthier habits and feeling better about yourself. 0.83

00:27:21.000 So that's why I like Noom, N-O-O-M. 1.00

00:27:26.000 They do physical, psychological, and social movements to make you a better person. 0.98

00:27:32.000 Specific lessons you learned about psychology or habits, the ease of just 10 minutes a day, the tone of your program or anything you loved.

00:27:42.000 Noom is not a diet.

00:27:43.000 It's a healthy and easy to use way of life.

00:27:46.000 With Noom, it doesn't tell you what to do or what not to do.

00:27:49.000 It teaches you how to look inside your own mind and make better decisions for yourself.

00:27:53.000 You don't have to change it all in one day.

00:28:08.000 You're not denying that elites shouldn't exist because that would be like a Marxist-egalitarian Rassoian view.

00:28:13.000 The question is, do you have elites and rulers that actually look after the citizens?

00:28:18.000 And so, what's happening right now in the vote counting, the communication, the whole portrayal of how the people actually voted in Tuesday is completely misrepresentative.

00:28:28.000 And it's so irresponsible because, in a digital era, now people, number one, here's what's going to happen because the lines of communication are so distrusted on cable television, on all sorts of mediums, absent this.

00:28:40.000 That's why we're so blown away by all of your support.

00:28:44.000 Is that eventually people will then gravitate to things that aren't true?

00:28:48.000 And that's not a good thing.

00:28:50.000 And so, we're getting a lot of emails right now.

00:28:53.000 Awesome.

00:28:54.000 I am getting emails from things that just are not true.

00:28:56.000 And I have to respond.

00:28:57.000 I'm like, this is not right.

00:28:59.000 And I don't blame them because now they're trying to find the truth because they have no trust in the system around them.

00:29:05.000 And here's the problem: these systems are far more fickle than people realize.

00:29:09.000 And this thing, if people lose trust in civil government, you know, the kind of emphasis on civil government, this is not going to end well.

00:29:21.000 All right.

00:29:22.000 The sense-making institutions have to actually make sense.

00:29:25.000 And when they, and when they, when what the sense-making institutions say to people conflicts with what they see in real life, with what they see with their own eyes, it's like that old expression, are you going to believe me or your lying eyes?

00:29:38.000 That cognitive dissonance could last for a while.

00:29:38.000 Right?

00:29:41.000 But as those two realities grow further and further apart, now you have a really riddle system.

00:29:47.000 And then you don't know what the trigger is.

00:29:49.000 But when, you know, like we're saying, offline, slowly at first, and then all at once.

00:29:55.000 And then something happens and you have this sort of a break.

00:29:58.000 So, Chris, let's talk about what people can do.

00:30:03.000 Well, look, a couple things.

00:30:05.000 One is do not accept defeat.

00:30:09.000 And I don't mean that if there's a legitimate count of all legal votes, that you don't accept that defeat.

00:30:14.000 What I mean is just mentally, like spiritually, don't accept defeat.

00:30:17.000 I've heard from people over the past couple of days which says, well, you know, it's just what do we even do?

00:30:24.000 So I don't, so they're fatigued and they say, well, I just got to go back to doing whatever is my normal job or whatever my life is.

00:30:31.000 I get that 100%, right?

00:30:32.000 You have to, like, you got to feed your family.

00:30:34.000 But the fatigue you're feeling is a tactic being used by the left.

00:30:38.000 That's exactly right.

00:30:39.000 It's the term like the quote-unquote suppression polls.

00:30:42.000 I mean, this is why we started doing so much polling in this cycle is because you saw all these polls out there for the prior two months up to the election.

00:30:51.000 You know, Trump's down by 10, Trump's down by 20, Trump's down by 100%.

00:30:54.000 Nobody's voting for him.

00:30:55.000 He's even going to vote against himself. 0.98

00:30:57.000 You know, it's ridiculous. 0.60

00:30:58.000 Well, I think that this was kind of like the long march of the institutions, which is a leftist tactic. 0.88

00:31:03.000 They talk about it a lot.

00:31:04.000 And rule number eight, Solinsky says, keep the pressure on.

00:31:07.000 And now we're post-election, and the election's actually now in the most consequential phase.

00:31:12.000 And I'm going to be honest, I'm exhausted.

00:31:15.000 I haven't slept.

00:31:16.000 I haven't eaten.

00:31:17.000 Now you really dive deep because here's the problem: this election phase has now been handed off from the electioneers, the election counters.

00:31:25.000 They kind of pass the baton.

00:31:26.000 And the election counters, they got plenty of energy and they were waiting for this.

00:31:31.000 And that's the creepy part is that we're now the same people.

00:31:34.000 We're the same people that were just advocating.

00:31:36.000 And now we're trying to get into this whole new, like, wait a second, there's ballots here.

00:31:39.000 We're doing this and lawsuits.

00:31:40.000 They had a whole infrastructure in place for this.

00:31:43.000 And now they said, okay, now it's your turn.

00:31:45.000 And what people need to realize, and I'm going to read this here.

00:31:48.000 Meanwhile, GOP lawmakers overjoyed after they unexpectedly pattered their ranks.

00:31:53.000 I mean, they were stunned.

00:31:54.000 I made a prediction we gained five House seats.

00:31:57.000 Some cable networks came out and said immediately before the votes were counted, before polls were closed in California, they said that the Pelosi keeps the House and she expands by five seats.

00:32:06.000 You know how many GOP incumbents they beat?

00:32:08.000 Zero.

00:32:10.000 They did not beat one Republic.

00:32:12.000 Think about it.

00:32:14.000 And CLF and the NRCC, and I'm friends with Kevin McCarthy.

00:32:17.000 I mean that non-sarcastically.

00:32:19.000 He's always been very honest and very good to me.

00:32:20.000 I don't agree with him on every issue, but he's always been very good to me.

00:32:23.000 They got outspent like five to one in every one of these house races.

00:32:27.000 And we flipped Elvira, Salazar in Florida.

00:32:29.000 We flipped all these races. 1.00

00:32:30.000 The question is why?

00:32:31.000 It wasn't because of, I don't think it wasn't because of massive money or strategy.

00:32:36.000 It's because President Donald Trump nationalized this election.

00:32:39.000 And all of a sudden, you had people in rural Texas and rural Iowa that were like, I don't want my country going the way of socialists.

00:32:45.000 Give me every R I possibly can.

00:32:47.000 I think that's absolutely right, which I think puts the lie to some of the things that are going on with the count of the Trump vote.

00:32:55.000 So here's what happens is we keep the Senate when we were predicted not to.

00:33:00.000 So can someone explain to me how zero Republican incumbents lose?

00:33:04.000 Zero.

00:33:05.000 We lose zero governor's mansions.

00:33:07.000 We flip the Montana governor's mansion.

00:33:10.000 We win a lot of state legislative races, which matters a lot for redistricting.

00:33:13.000 Yet Donald Trump loses in a lot of these states.

00:33:17.000 How's that possible?

00:33:19.000 This is like what we were talking about before.

00:33:22.000 That seems like a weird statistical anomaly to me.

00:33:24.000 The only explanation is you have Biden straight ticket Republican voters.

00:33:28.000 Right.

00:33:29.000 That's right.

00:33:30.000 Is that a reasonable explanation?

00:33:32.000 It doesn't seem like it to me.

00:33:33.000 So according to the Secretary of State's office in Georgia, they're doing their best third world country impersonation there.

00:33:39.000 It's a joke.

00:33:39.000 By the way, I'm so exhausted by these people that are defending on television.

00:33:43.000 This is a really hard job.

00:33:44.000 Well, then go find a new job, okay?

00:33:46.000 This is the democracy of our, this is the country, the country we live in.

00:33:48.000 It's a constitutional republic.

00:33:50.000 If you can't get quick results, you should resign.
