Julian Assange has a plea deal! He will plead guilty to one charge of obtaining classified intelligence, national security information, and will be released on bail to go to the Northern Mariana Islands. What does this mean for Hillary Clinton and her campaign? And what does it mean for the rest of us? What will the deal mean for our vote in the 2020 election? And why should we allow foreigners to vote in our election??

00:00:33.000He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.

00:01:45.000We are at an undisclosed location in Blaine County, and we are here a couple weeks before all the plutocrats and the oligarchs come to this part of the world.
00:01:53.000We are here with some great folks, lots to talk about here today.
00:03:11.000Why is he going to the Mariana Islands?
00:03:14.000You know, it's not clear why they did that.
00:03:15.000It might be that Assange, he felt more confident that they wouldn't, you know, spring a trap and just arrest him and take him away to federal prison and say the deal's revoked if it's on this outer island.
00:03:50.000They blame him for all these bad things.
00:03:52.000And remember, the reason why they really hate Assange is not because of his journalism or leaking.
00:03:57.000They hate Assange because they blame him for Hillary Clinton not becoming president in 2016
00:04:03.000because of all the WikiLeaks and the phishing attack with John Podesta.
00:04:06.000And I never had strong opinions about Julian Assange, but the more I learn about the intel agencies and how they have lied, they lied about the origins of COVID.
00:04:15.000They lied about the Hunter Biden laptop.
00:04:18.000They lied about Donald Trump and the Russia gate.
00:04:21.000I actually have more sympathy for Julian Assange when I say, if he's exposing the intel agencies, I think it's a good thing that the American people know that the Central Intelligence Agency is not worthy of trust.
00:04:32.000Do you not want to know about all those things that the DNC was saying behind closed doors?
00:04:36.000It's thanks to him we know— That debate questions, by the way, were leaked, which is very applicable.
00:04:41.000Because of Julian Assange, we know that Donna Brazile gave Hillary Clinton debate questions in advance.
00:04:56.000You mentioned what they lied about COVID.
00:04:58.000We just had recently where it comes out that while they were promoting censorship of COVID misinformation in the U.S., they were also doing the opposite type of COVID attacks in China.
00:05:08.000They were trying to undermine China's vaccine while they were saying you can't criticize the vaccine in the U.S.
00:05:14.000And they've been on both sides of this.
00:05:17.000So I think it's not clear whether or not Julian Assange, how you look at him as a hero or not a hero,
00:05:22.000but I have a lot of sympathy for him because you look at what he's been through.
00:05:27.000There were assassination attempts against him.
00:05:30.000I think The Guardian reported a few years ago that I think Mike Pompeo and some other kind of national security apparatchiks were like, can we drone Assange?
00:05:39.000You know, some of them said that we should try to assassinate him.
00:05:52.000Did he put Americans at risk or in danger?
00:05:56.000Because that's what people have been saying.
00:05:58.000The original case, they would say, is back during the Iraq War, this would be over 15 years ago at this point, they released internal documents from the U.S.
00:06:50.000And the repeated lies and the repeated use of the American government for political means.
00:06:57.000I mean, again, I can't—four years ago, we were in the midst of an election, and 51 intel experts Signed an open letter saying that the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation.
00:07:07.000That was direct election interference.
00:07:10.000We should never trust what these intel agencies say ever again.
00:07:47.000I think that CNN's viewership goes in half if they're no longer in airports.
00:07:51.000So, Blake, what could go wrong for Trump or what could go wrong for Biden?
00:07:56.000Who has the most to lose going into Thursday?
00:07:58.000Yeah, it's definitely Biden who has the most to lose.
00:08:01.000I think this is probably the highest stake debate that's actually ever happened for a candidate.
00:08:05.000The only thing that comes close, I think, is the second Trump-Hillary debate that was right after the Access Hollywood tape.
00:08:11.000There were some Republicans saying Trump should drop out.
00:08:13.000He had to nail that one or it might have been over.
00:08:15.000But this one, I think the worst case for Biden is he has some sort of freeze up Senior moment, if you will.
00:08:24.000And if it's bad enough, I think this is the last chance, if you're a Democrat who wants to change the candidate who's on the ticket, this is your last serious chance to do it without Biden just actually dying somehow.
00:08:36.000Yeah, and I think it's important, though, because this is the earliest debate that we've ever seen.
00:08:43.000He's the one that said, I want it to be an early debate, because he's legitimately behind in all the tracking polls in the internal states.
00:08:50.000If Donald Trump does not do well, I think he can recover from that.
00:09:09.000And a lot of that is just going to be seeing him on TV, being a serious candidate, talking about policy.
00:09:14.000And that gets in their brains that, oh, I'm allowed to vote for this guy.
00:09:18.000The most likely outcome is a stalemate where both sides says they won, and you kind of go back.
00:09:23.000And then, and honestly, that's not the worst thing, if it's a stalemate, because I actually want to run more against Joe Biden than Gretchen Whitmer or Gavin Newsom.
00:09:31.000I would rather run against Joe Biden, to be perfectly honest with you.
00:09:34.000And so, you know, Blake, I think that as we go into, I want to get into the kind of the debate prep stuff in a second here.
00:09:50.000I think it definitely favors Trump because, first of all, I think it will keep him from—he had a bad habit of interrupting too much in 2020, and I think he'll follow the guidance here and not do that, and it'll be helpful to him.
00:10:01.000And it increases the risk of Biden having to just talk for two minutes.
00:10:08.000I've had the honor and pleasure of partnering with Patriot Mobile, who has been a great supporter of this show.
00:10:13.000They're the only cell phone service provider that is actually on the front lines defending our freedoms.

00:14:49.000So imagine Biden is struggling through an answer and kind of losing his train of thought and then he gets saved by the bell and they're like, they go over to Trump and Trump just goes, he can finish let him finish.
00:14:58.000And I think that'd be amazing if we got that moment.
00:15:02.000We went through this yesterday, but President Trump—by the way, he's doing robust debate prep, and I think he's going to do very well.
00:15:08.000But I want to make sure the expectations—my expectation is for a stalemate, that both sides kind of get some shots in, and both sides say they win.
00:15:18.000But the issues that Joe Biden will push is convicted felon, January 6, COVID, which I think is going to be a sleeper one, also abortion, and then finally, dictator on day one, threat to democracy.
00:15:31.000If President Trump can navigate those and then counter with, straight to camera, to the American people, who was a better president?
00:15:43.000What president do we actually have a border with?
00:15:44.000What president was the economy better?
00:15:47.000Every single poll shows that 70% of Americans think that Trump was not just a little bit better, but way better in that regard.
00:15:53.000That is the case he has to keep on bringing back to there.
00:15:57.000Trump needs to come with the facts and not just say that the conviction was necessarily unjust or a fraud, but explain why it was outrageous and say, I think the best talking point he can say is, the former Attorney General and former Governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo, who does not like me, says that that case never should have been brought against That is a very good talking point.
00:16:17.000If you want one or two sample sentences that get at it quickly, you don't want to get into the details of what the judge ruled on this or that.
00:16:24.000You can't get into gag order or any of that stuff.
00:16:30.000A movement to change how we elect our president is growing, led by radical left-wing activists who don't think their side should ever have to lose the presidency again.
00:16:39.000It seeks to do away with the Electoral College as devised by the framers of our Constitution.
00:16:44.000Today, 18 states have signed on to overhaul how presidents are elected.
00:16:48.000That's why my friends at Hillsdale College are conducting a national survey on presidential selection.
00:16:54.000Hearing directly from informed patriots like you is critical.
00:16:57.000So please take their national survey on presidential selection today at charlieforhillsdale.com.
00:17:42.000I've known you for a long time when Turning Point USA was just a baby organization.
00:17:47.000It was in the crib and we've, praise God, grown over the last couple of years.
00:17:52.000You are doing some of the most important work and have been really with precision about election integrity because there's a lot of people in that space.
00:18:07.000Well, after the 2020 election, I'm an election lawyer.
00:18:11.000I've been doing election law, political law, for many, many decades.
00:18:17.000And I was one of President Trump's volunteer attorneys in Georgia in the post-election of 2020.
00:18:23.000And that, of course, brought the wrath of the left and that crazy, what do they call it, the Lincoln Project, those obscene perverts.
00:18:35.000They went after me and my law firm, and so I ended up resigning my partnership of 20 years.
00:18:42.000And they thought they'd vanquished me.
00:18:45.000And all they did was free me from billable hours so that I could spend 100% of my time, which I have done, Since February 1st of 2021, working on election integrity.
00:18:58.000And my having spent all those years around election boards, I've done plenty of time in election board offices all over the country.
00:19:06.000And I know that all elections are local.
00:19:13.000And that what we need to do is arm citizens.
00:19:16.000I wanted to try to take that energy and upset and anger from what happened in 2020 And channel that into something productive.
00:19:25.000And so I wrote The Citizen's Guide to Building an Election Integrity Infrastructure, because that's what we need to combat the very, very well-funded left-wing election infrastructure, where they're set about to destroy our election system.
00:19:39.000And to get citizen patriots into the election offices, just like parents in school board offices and that kind of thing.
00:20:00.000We run national working groups every week.
00:20:05.000Nine different working groups on everything from how to clean voter rolls, how to protect vulnerable voters in nursing homes, et cetera, et cetera.
00:20:13.000And so that's ongoing, and about a year ago, I decided I needed to form something that was focused strictly on threats for 2024.
00:20:24.000And so I created the Fair Elections Fund, and we have been raising money to give to grants to help support local efforts in key counties, in key states, And then in January this year, I realized that we needed to focus on this threat of illegals voting in November, because I absolutely believe that that is how they are planning to try to steal the election this year, is through illegals who are then added to the voter rolls and really directed by these left-wing NGOs, national
00:21:02.000Non-governmental organizations that are shepherding these migrants all over the country, getting them IDs, getting them housing, handing them tax paid phone cards and food cards and, and getting them on the voter rolls.
00:21:15.000So first I want to go into the left wing and how, what is the budget if you were to approximate of the left wing infrastructure to make our elections less secure?
00:21:29.000The Capital Research Center has estimated, based on... They've really been tracking the left.
00:21:36.000They have something called Influence Watch.
00:21:38.000If you're not familiar with it... It's terrific.
00:21:40.000You really need... They've mapped the left, and they've had a particular focus on the myriad, hundreds and hundreds of left-wing organizations that focus strictly on some aspect of the election process.
00:21:56.000Their estimate And this was a year or two ago.
00:21:59.000I don't know that they've updated it since then, but their estimate is that between around 2012 and 2020, that the left had raised and spent between $11 and $14 billion on election matters.
00:22:16.000And this is 501c3 and 501c4 money primarily?
00:22:22.000So for those of you that have charitable foundations, donor devised funds, The left, they put this through tax-deductible donations to change our elections.
00:22:30.000Now, what would you say the right has spent on election integrity in that time period?
00:22:35.000Well, probably about 45 cents before 2020.
00:22:39.000Now, I helped found the first and only election integrity public interest law firm, which we founded in 2014, the Public Interest Legal Foundation.
00:22:50.000And I say to the Hans von Spakovsky from Heritage Foundation, Christian Adams, who's the President General Counsel at the Public Interest Legal Foundation.
00:23:00.000And I say to them, do you remember when there were, you know, we could fit into a phone booth, those of us who cared about election integrity.
00:23:06.000And for you young people, we used to have things called phone booths, and you would go and make a phone call and put a quarter in.
00:24:12.000Our laws, our election laws, are so porous.
00:24:16.000That getting on the voter rolls is so easy.
00:24:19.000And you have states all over the country that have adopted same-day registration and automatic voter registration so that you go to the DMV to get your driver's license.
00:24:29.000And remember, non-citizens are all allowed to get driver's licenses.
00:24:35.000And 19 states have now, based on a push from the ACLU, There are 19 states that now give driver's licenses to illegals.
00:24:50.000And so one of the things that happens, well, the federal law says that nobody can go on the voter rolls until they have had their identity and their residency confirmed.
00:24:59.000Well, that's by giving your driver's license number or the last four digits of your social security number.
00:25:06.000You don't have to be a citizen to get a driver's license.
00:25:09.000And you don't have to be a citizen to get a social security number.
00:25:13.000And that's one of the, those are the two checks.
00:25:15.000But the problem is that law was passed by Congress 22 years ago.
00:25:19.000And no one dreamed at the time that there would ever come a day in the United States of America where you had, the Census Bureau estimates over 22 million illegals and non-citizens living in this country.
00:25:32.000So in Arizona, it might be performative, but it's the only state that says non-citizens can't Is that correct?
00:25:40.000No, in Arizona, poor Arizona, they've been trying for 20 years.
00:25:50.000But the law says that before a person can register to vote in Arizona, this is what the state law says, they have to provide documentary proof of citizenship.
00:26:02.000You're not going to be allowed to register to vote unless you provide documentary proof of citizenship.
00:26:13.000And because there is a federal law that was passed, Bill Clinton's top priority, number one bill, when he became president in 1993, the National Voter Registration Act requires every state to accept and use the federal voter registration form.
00:26:32.000And so Arizona said, if we have to use this form, Then we want to be able to put our state's requirements on this form so that we don't have to just accept a checkbox, yes, I'm a citizen, which is what the form has.
00:26:47.000And the Supreme Court, in an opinion authored by Justice Scalia, said Congress didn't require that, the state can't just add it, and neither can the Election Assistance Commission.
00:26:59.000So guess what exists in Arizona that doesn't exist in any other state?
00:27:52.000The only way we're going to be able to stop this is by having citizen action, looking at the DMVs, looking at the voter rolls in your county, looking at the voter rolls, watching, and basically creating a national neighborhood watch to try to find these pockets of non-citizens that are getting added to the rolls.
00:29:15.000We had last month saving babies with preborn by providing ultrasounds.
00:29:19.000And we're doing again this year what we did last year.
00:29:21.000We're going to stand for life because remaining silent in the face of the most radically pro-death administration is not an option.
00:29:27.000As Sir Edmund Burke said, the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing, and we're not going to do nothing.
00:29:33.000Your gift to preborn will give a girl the truth about what's happening in her body so that she can make the right choice.
00:30:27.000They can bring guests and residents who come and visitors who come to Sun Valley.
00:30:32.000We have a major program this summer that we've launched called the Sun Valley 2024 Summer Institute, which is all about learning about our common values.
00:30:42.000And we brought in Steve Moore last night, Knocked it out of the park on the economy and Cleta Mitchell talking about election integrity.
00:30:49.000Our whole idea is just to give people the fundamental opinions to have conversations with their neighbors and their family members, and then spread that out through their networks throughout the country.
00:31:17.000And you know what's interesting about that is that I think that next year we're going to be bringing program around major sector ideas like energy security, climate, but understanding what's the free market version of that.
00:31:29.000What does it look like when you have policies that involve less government, that is not heavily regulated?
00:31:34.000How can we flourish as a country and have great policy, great ideas, and implement those with new leadership through the private sector and private markets?
00:32:04.000They're on fire and they're really active.
00:32:06.000In fact, one of the things I love about Blaine County is that as a result of us starting to convene in the last three years as a result of the last couple of elections, people are getting engaged and involved.
00:32:17.000I've seen so many of our friends who've supported and been part of this programming now are on the ground.
00:32:56.000Everyone I know, anyone I work with actually has, you know, other jobs over there.
00:33:01.000I mean, when I get on the phone with a county commissioner, he's on a tractor, you know, and he's running cattle.
00:33:07.000He's doing all kinds of things before they even get up in the morning and then go to work to do something for their community and their town.
00:33:13.000The one thing I love about Sun Valley that's different than other major mountain resorts like Jackson, Aspen, Vail, Sun Valley, the leadership here is generational in terms of families.
00:33:23.000Families here in Sun Valley, as I say, they built things and they employ people.
00:33:28.000It's not that way in other resort towns.
00:33:30.000These are people who know what it's like to run a business, be successful, and have generational success.
00:33:36.000Is it fair to say, you know, in Arizona, we say, don't California my Arizona?
00:33:41.000Are you guys going to have billboards that say, don't Aspen my sun valley?
00:34:23.000In fact, that hosts our Town Hall 208s.
00:34:26.000On a regular basis, which is open and free to the public.
00:34:28.000We have great programming, and whiskey does stay up late, but that is our great honky-tonk that delivers live music.
00:34:34.000It's a great topic that we could talk about another time, which is, and for the national audience to understand, these slivers of heaven that God have given us in America have been polluted by the worst people on the planet, because they've destroyed San Francisco, so they use all their money to go then vacation in Aspen and Vail.
00:34:49.000And in Sun Valley, you guys are holding the line.
