00:00:36.000His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:00:45.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:23.000And let's try to get behind an effort that makes a very serious difference this Christmas season.
00:01:29.000We've been partnering with Prison Fellowship.
00:01:32.000They've served over 300,000 children of prisoners, coordinating Christmas blessings for prisoners' children through their annual Angel Tree program.
00:01:41.000But time is short, and it takes a lot of work to line up families.
00:01:57.000Volunteers like Dawn from Dallas know that every donation, large or small, is so important.
00:02:03.000Children of prisoners deserve to experience the love of Christ that only you can make happen.
00:02:09.000So please make sure these precious kids are never forgotten.
00:02:13.000Just go to charliekirk.com and click on the Angel Tree banner.
00:02:16.000$22 delivers joy to one child or just a gift of $220.
00:02:21.000You can bless 10 children of prisoners with a special Christmas present.
00:02:25.000Angel Tree family is also given access to a free, easy-to-read copy of the Bible in English or Spanish.
00:02:31.000So once more, please go to charliekirk.com, click on that Angel Tree banner, or phone 888-206-2802 to join my campaign for prison fellowships Angel Tree this year.
00:02:42.000But please hurry, Christmas is two weeks away this Friday.
00:02:47.000We are going to get into Texas suing other states around voter fraud.
00:02:54.000And also, 10 senators have just signed on to an amicus brief in front of the United States Supreme Court.
00:03:01.000We're unpacking all of that and more, but I want to get to some breaking news.
00:03:05.000I'm a very dedicated college football fan.
00:03:10.000What I love about college football is how, unlike in professional sports, recruitment is a key element of success in college football.
00:03:19.000It's not just about the players, it's about the program.
00:03:24.000From the recruiters to the strength coaches to the plays to everything about it, it's about an infrastructure that is built.
00:03:32.000Not to say that in the NFL, that's not the case, but there's definitely more variety of the teams in the NFL that are able to rise and fall.
00:03:39.000The New England Patriots, obviously, being the exception to that.
00:03:42.000But a key part of the success in college football is the recruiting side of it.
00:03:48.000In fact, the best programs, Alabama, Clemson, Notre Dame, Ohio State, they have now been so ambitious, so forward-thinking, they are offering full scholarships to 13 and 14-year-olds on the suspicion that these young men are going to be five-star recruits.
00:04:12.000These 13 and 14-year-olds are hardly shaving, but they're 6'6, 220 pounds, and they offer them a full scholarship.
00:04:22.000So what does that have to do with what's happening today in politics?
00:04:27.000Well, just in the last 24 hours, there has been a story that has come out that shows that the Chinese Communist Party has engaged in the very same type of recruitment here in America.
00:04:42.000Let's play tape here of Gordon Chang saying this exactly on Fox News regarding Joe Biden.
00:04:54.000There is incredible arrogance among the Chinese elites, and that's what I take away from this video.
00:04:59.000You know, there are a number of instances that Dee talks about, and I don't know if they're actually true or not, but the point is that this is what Chinese leaders think.
00:05:09.000And because they think that way, they're going to push a President Biden around.
00:05:13.000They're going to do things which are dangerous because we're going to have to push back.
00:05:18.000Under President Trump, the Chinese didn't try this because they were afraid of him.
00:05:22.000So what I'm concerned about is the state of mind of China.
00:05:26.000And we see this from Xi Jinping, the Chinese ruler, all the way down to this guy, Didong Shang.
00:05:33.000So the same way that Alabama and Notre Dame and other college football teams recruit multi-generations of talent, the Chinese Communist Party has embarked on an ambitious recruitment scheme to recruit young and upcoming political leaders that one day they might be able to hold influence over them.
00:05:59.000Anaxios, a Chinese national named Fang Fang, targeted up and coming local politicians in the Bay Area and across the country who had the potential to make it big on the national stage.
00:06:13.000Through campaign fundraising, extensive networking, personal charisma, and romantic or sexual relationships with at least two Midwestern mayors, Fang was able to gain proximity to political power, according to current and former U.S. intelligence officials, and one former elected official.
00:06:30.000So as Notre Dame tries to recruit 13 and 14 year olds that will one day be the five-star recruit linebackers and strong safeties and quarterbacks of tomorrow, the Chinese Communist Party sends in attractive Chinese women to go seduce American politicians so that they can have favor over them.
00:06:47.000Now, mind you, these American politicians don't currently have a lot of power.
00:06:50.000This is in the belief that one day they might be at the highest levels of power in our government.
00:06:57.000In the middle of all this is the Russian hoaxer himself, the man who, if he was in charge, we'd be sending Tomahawk missiles and U.S. infantry troops into Moscow and St. Petersburg, Eric Swawell.
00:07:10.000Eric Swawell is one of the most disingenuous American politicians out there.
00:07:19.000Swawell has said on multiple occasions that Donald Trump is an agent of Russia.
00:07:24.000He was one of the cheap propagandists behind this lie.
00:07:28.000And Swawell was in a relationship in one way or the other, we're not sure of the depth or the aspects of it, with Fang Fang.
00:07:40.000Fang Fang is a Chinese Communist Party spy.
00:07:46.000Let's play tape of Eric Swawell trying to make the case for collusion.
00:07:50.000Remember, this is how he thought about foreign interference when it came to Russia.
00:08:05.000Donald Trump, for years, had been working with the Russians.
00:08:08.000He brought people on his campaign who had ties to the Russians.
00:08:10.000We have seen a candidate and a president who has spoken in very flattering ways about Vladimir Putin.
00:08:17.000All of the arrows continue to point to a personal, political, and financial relationship that Donald Trump had with the Russians.
00:08:22.000A personal and financial relationship that Trump had with the Russians.
00:08:26.000You mean like that you have with our greatest enemy, the Chinese Communist Party, Eric Swawell?
00:08:31.000You see, the case demonstrates, this is from Axios, China's strategy of cultivating relationships that may take years or even decades to bear fruit.
00:08:39.000So I know a lot of the people at Axios.
00:08:50.000Maybe they didn't have all the facts and the sources.
00:08:52.000I'll give them the benefit of the doubt there.
00:08:54.000But at Axios, why didn't they release this a month and a half ago?
00:08:57.000This would have been a bombshell story heading into the election, especially since there's a subcontractor for the Chinese Communist Party about to become president if we don't do our job and reverse the current electoral votes in Georgia, Arizona, Pennsylvania, and Michigan.
00:09:14.000So Eric Swawell has declined to comment on this story, but it said that Beijing is, quote, engaged in a highly sophisticated, malign foreign influence campaign.
00:09:25.000If that's the case, why has no one attacked the fact that Joe Biden is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Chinese Communist Party?
00:09:35.000Fang Feng used political gatherings, civic society conferences, campaign rallies, and campus events to connect with elected officials and other prominent figures, according to U.S. intelligence agencies and officials.
00:09:52.000You see, the Chinese Communist Party has been playing the long game in this Axios piece, which is at least at least eight pages long.
00:10:00.000There's no way they wrote this overnight.
00:10:02.000It shows Eric Swawell with pictures with this Chinese Communist Party spy, Fang Fang, and it's saying that Fang's ties to Eric Swawell began when he was a council member for Dublin City, California.
00:10:17.000So Fang Fang started to recruit Swawell, who looked like an up-and-coming, ambitious city council member.
00:10:27.000The Chinese Communist Party is more invested in the long-term political strategy of our country than most parts of the Republican Party.
00:10:35.000The Chinese Communist Party has developed more of a farm team than the Republican Party has.
00:10:42.000Fang's earliest known engagement with Swawell occurred to the Chinese Student Association.
00:10:47.000Huh, wonder who's been worrying about that.
00:10:49.000By 2014, she has risen in local political circles and developed close ties to Swawell's office.
00:10:56.000That is just the beginning of that Chinese corruption story.
00:10:59.000It also has some ties to the governor of Georgia.
00:11:06.000Well, it's been quite a year, hasn't it?
00:11:08.000Well, it's actually been a total nightmare.
00:11:10.000And Christmas is a great time to reflect, especially on those who helped us get through it.
00:11:14.000Now, Noble Gold has put together this incredible collection of American Eagle 22 carat gold coins so you can say a huge thank you to the people you love.

00:12:08.000Here we have pictures of Eric Swawell, according to Axios.com, being very close to Fang Fang.
00:12:16.000Few seem to know Fang Fang on a personal level.
00:12:19.000Several acquaintances told Axios she seemed to come from wealth.
00:12:23.000She drove a white Mercedes, according to one official, but she never spoke about her family or her hometown.
00:12:28.000Swawell and Fang Fang were very close.
00:12:31.000She hosted multiple fundraisers for Swawell.
00:12:35.000Now, it says here that Fang was a bundler for Swawell and other candidates.
00:12:40.000Now, mind you, it is illegal for foreign nationals to contribute to U.S. politicians.
00:12:47.000There is no evidence that Fang Fang gave any money to Swawell, but there is evidence that she was raising money for him, a bundler.
00:12:57.000Why was Eric Swawal okay with a foreign national, a Chinese Communist Party citizen, being a bundler for his campaign?
00:13:04.000He was so close to Fang Fang that federal investigators had to come in and warn Eric Swalwell that he was dealing with a Chinese Communist Party spy.
00:13:12.000And do you remember the story that Diane Feinstein had a Chinese Communist Party spy driver for nearly 15 years, either 15 or 20 years?
00:13:22.000It looks as if the Chinese Communist Party has infiltrated the top levels of government all throughout the San Francisco political empire, Democrat political empire.
00:13:31.000The Bay Area political operative who witnessed Fang's fundraising on Swalo's behalf was concerned whether donors she brought in were legally permitted to donate.
00:13:39.000They found no evidence of illegal contributions.
00:13:42.000However, Fang facilitated the potential assignment of interns into Swalwell's office.
00:13:47.000Oh, so Fang Fang, the Chinese Communist Party spy, our greatest enemy, they're not an adversary, they're an enemy, is staffing Capitol Hill via Eric Swalwell.
00:13:59.000Fang attended conferences for mayors across the United States, and Fang engaged in sexual or romantic relationships with at least two mayors of Midwestern cities.
00:14:10.000I have a feeling we're going to find out who those mayors are very soon, because if they're Republican mayors, the New York Times will have them on the front page of the New York Times within a day.
00:14:18.000If they're Democrat mayors, citizen journalists will find within a week.
00:14:23.000So if the New York Times finds any interest in this story, we'll find out who those mayors are very, very soon.
00:14:28.000So you see, that's exactly what happened with the pardon story.
00:14:31.000Remember that pardon story came out last week where they said that someone is trying to exchange money for a pardon in the Trump White House?
00:14:37.000I said, give the New York Times 48 hours and their sources will tell them exactly who it is.
00:14:42.000It actually ended up being a non-story.
00:14:44.000The guy that was pushing for it is dead.
00:14:46.000A man that I knew of, Sanford Diller from San Francisco, ended up being a non-story.
00:14:52.000At a 2014 conference in Washington, an older Midwestern mayor, quote, from an obscure city, referred to Fang as his girlfriend and insisted the relationship was genuine despite the clear age difference between Fang and himself.
00:15:06.000Fang also had a sexual encounter with an Ohio mayor in a car that was under electronic FBI surveillance, said one current U.S. official.
00:15:14.000When the mayor was asked why Fang was interested in him, Fang told him she wanted to improve her English, the same official said.
00:15:22.000And so what we are seeing is a concerted, multi-dimensional effort from our greatest enemy to infiltrate our government.
00:15:35.000And yet Eric Swalwell went on television.
00:15:50.000There's a pattern here, John, on the classified and unclassified side of deep personal, political, and financial ties that Donald Trump and people in his family, in his businesses, and on his campaign had with a foreign adversary in Russia that converged at the same time that Russia was interfering with our campaign.
00:16:09.000This is a complicated set of financial transactions, electronic messages, foreign witnesses.
00:16:15.000It's going to take time, not as fast as I'd like, but the American people deserve to hold any U.S. person accountable that was working with Russia.
00:16:23.000There is a complicated campaign that goes to show Eric Swalwell, through electronic messages and wire transfers, had a financial dealing relationship with the Chinese Communist Party.
00:16:52.000Donald Trump for years had been working with the Russians.
00:16:54.000He brought people on his campaign who had ties to the Russians.
00:16:57.000We have seen a candidate and a president who has spoken in very flattering ways about Vladimir Putin.
00:17:03.000All of the arrows continue to point to a personal, political, and financial relationship that Donald Trump had with the Russians.
00:17:09.000Eric Swalwell is AA baseball for the Chinese Communist Party.
00:17:14.000The big leagues is Joe Biden, the big man, as he's called in certain documents.
00:17:20.000If Joe Biden becomes president of the United States and we are unsuccessful in these legal challenges, in the rallies, in the calls, and the emails that you guys can participate in in everylegalvote.com, then the Chinese Communist Party will control our government.
00:17:40.000Play Ratcliffe, DNI Director Ratcliffe on Tucker Carlson last evening.
00:17:46.000We've been warning about this for months.
00:17:47.000We knew that Joe Biden had serious ties, not just ties, but he's an employee of the Chinese Communist Party.
00:18:17.000Well, again, dominate militarily, technologically, and economically.
00:18:22.000On the military front, they've already achieved having the largest navy of any country in the world.
00:18:29.000From a military force standpoint, the People's Republic of China has a military of 2 million.
00:18:35.000They want them to be the largest, and they also want them to be the strongest, which is why they're engaged in what you referenced, which is called gene editing, literally trying to alter the DNA, experimenting on DNA to make soldiers, sailors, and airmen stronger and more powerful.
00:18:53.000So you know who else did this in the attempt to create the evil Third Reich in the 1930s and 1940s?
00:19:00.000The National Socialist Workers' Party military during their blitzkrieg attempts when they pierced the Maginot line into France.
00:19:08.000One of the ways they were able to do this is they gave almost pseudo-heroin type injections to their infantry.
00:19:20.000It made their fighting force be able to go for 100 hours straight when they invaded France.
00:19:27.000The French resistance and soldiers had never seen anything like it.
00:19:30.000And when they actually pierced the Maginot line, they were able to make it all the way to the Atlantic Ocean in five days, able to make it to Paris within three days.
00:19:39.000No one has ever seen the kind of pace of invasion.
00:19:43.000And so what the Chinese Communist Party is trying to do is very similar to what the National Socialist Workers' Party did in the 1930s and 40s.
00:19:51.000However, the difference is the infiltration.
00:19:56.000You see, the Chinese Communist Party, they're doing things differently than the Soviet Union did and the National Socialist Workers' Party did or the Italian fascists.
00:20:07.000You see, their strategy for the last couple of decades has been to infiltrate, influence, and take over our government from within.
00:20:16.000They know that we're the finest fighting force on the planet.
00:20:19.000They know that we are still the wealthiest country on the planet.
00:20:22.000They know that if they were to awaken a sleeping giant, we would rise in retaliation.
00:20:27.000So what has the Chinese Communist Party done?
00:20:29.000They have funded social justice warrior causes to weaken the spirit of America.
00:20:35.000They have funded environmentalist groups, which we discuss in our third hour with Congressman Lance Gooden today.
00:20:41.000And you guys can check that out on our podcast.
00:20:43.000They fund and support BLM Incorporated.
00:20:47.000Producer Connor, can we get the tweet that goes to show the Chinese Communist Party tweeting out support of Black Lives Matter?
00:20:54.000You see, it was the Chinese Communist Party that was saying they support BLM Incorporated, despite the Chinese Communist Party having well over 1 million Muslims in concentration camps.
00:21:08.000You see, a lot of these groups say, never again will we allow another Holocaust.
00:21:13.000There's a Holocaust that is basically happening right now in China.
00:21:19.000Not to mention the cyber warfare, the ties into our election, the hacking, the small dollar donations that might have gone through Act Blue that members of Congress have been asking for answers.
00:21:31.000But our Department of Justice, you don't understand.
00:21:34.000They're really worried to make sure Lori Laughlin and her kids are actually getting in the USC under the right standards.
00:21:41.000I don't think Lori Laughlin's a good person.
00:21:43.000Do I think that it took a multi-hundred person unit from the Department of Justice to go try and solve the college admission scandal?
00:21:52.000Probably more pressing issues like the Chinese Communist Party.
00:21:55.000Why did we have to send a 20-person platoon to go arrest Roger Stone, a non-violent offender?
00:22:01.000Why did we have to go send 13 FBI agents to go look into Bubble Wallace?
00:22:05.000Because there was a rope hanging from his garage.
00:22:09.000Meanwhile, the Chinese Communist Party has seamlessly infiltrated every level of government without anyone stopping them except President Trump.
00:22:18.000President Trump is the only person to stand up against the sinister satanic forces of China.
00:23:54.000And Nixon and H.W. Bush and all the globalists, they opened us up with bad trade deals with China, and we imported piles and tons of plastic that we didn't need in a massive labor arbitrage, which made us poor, China wealthier, and now they have us over a barrel.
00:24:13.000September 5th, 2020 from DailySignal.com, this BLM Inc. co-founder and pro-Communist China group are partnering up.
00:24:22.000And this article goes to show that Alicia Garza is partnering with the Black Futures Lab, with the Chinese Progressive Association.
00:24:42.000Against foreign criticism of China's handling of the Chinese coronavirus outbreak, Uyghur concentration camps and brutal police violence against Hong Kong protesters, join the international outcry over George Floyd's death by tweeting, I can't breathe.
00:25:36.000And before we know it, they're not going to make vitamin C in their country, which we don't.
00:25:41.000They're not going to make anything of critical nature in their country, which they won't.
00:25:45.000Now, mind you, what's really interesting, and I learned this in the last week.
00:25:49.000Did you know that China has tariffs on us?
00:25:53.000You see, the free market purists that have been dominating the Chamber of Commerce and the Republican Party for the last 20 years say free trade is wonderful.
00:26:19.000And we are not allowed, unless we have serious tariffs and pay a huge price to import Iowa hogs and Iowa pork into China because China is protecting their farmers and their homegrown pork industry.
00:26:38.000But when it comes to steel, China has been allowed to dump steel into our markets for decades.
00:26:46.000It's because the Chinese Communist Party has purchased the Chamber of Commerce, which is the Chamber of China, and they've infiltrated every single level of government.
00:26:55.000They've influenced the United States Senate, the U.S. Congress, governor's mansions, and not to mention rare earth minerals, antibiotics.
00:27:05.000And so the question in the next decade will be, are we serious enough about the Chinese threat within our country to actually be unafraid of being called the R-word?
00:27:17.000You see, the Chinese Communist Party, they've invested heavily in these Confucius Institutes on college campuses.
00:27:24.000The greatest weapon for the Chinese Communist Party is not a thermonuclear weapon.
00:27:29.000It is political correctness because it does not allow us to call out the Chinese Communist Party.
00:27:36.000You see, the Chinese Communist Party have, they have developed the new atom bomb against America, political correctness, because it makes us unable to criticize China without being called a racist.
00:27:49.000The new Manhattan Project is now being developed at Brown University.
00:29:06.000Or if they don't want to hear you anymore because you're making too much sense politically, they can tune out and they can listen to the Charlie Kirk show as well with Raycon.
00:29:35.000There's actually some good momentum that I want to share with you.
00:29:37.000I want to start with this article here.
00:29:39.000Texas is suing Georgia, Michigan, and Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, saying that there are so many instances of election fraud that their own electoral votes have now been disenfranchised.
00:29:54.000So there's a lot of momentum, everybody, and that momentum is because of you.
00:29:58.000You guys have helped keep the phone calls going, the rallies going, the public support going, and the pressure going.
00:30:04.000And considering the current composition of the U.S. Supreme Court, we have Amy Coney Barrett, we have Alito, Thomas Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh.
00:30:12.000No matter what Roberts wants to do, we have five fair justices on the U.S. Supreme Court, thanks to President Donald Trump and thanks to his commitment to building a strong judiciary.
00:30:37.000The question is, how do we persuade a court of this?
00:30:40.000And most importantly, how do we persuade a liberal judge of this?
00:30:45.000Because overturning an election, even if that election is fraudulent and flawed, we need to be very specific of how we argue these cases.
00:30:54.000Sidney Powell's lawsuit has just been thrown out of Georgia, which was considered to be the Kraken lawsuit.
00:30:59.000And so, this is not about Sidney Powell.
00:31:02.000It's just in order to meet the threshold and the standard of being able to have a lawsuit proceed in a court of law, there needs to be not just whistleblower evidence.
00:31:14.000There needs to be very specific types of thoroughly vetted, presentable evidence.
00:31:43.000So Texas, this has been sort of the big story of the morning.
00:31:48.000God bless Texas was trending on Twitter because I think a lot of the base is coming out and said, finally, somebody with some muscle is getting behind this fight.
00:31:59.000So I'm reading right here from Breitbart.
00:32:01.000The state of Texas filed a lawsuit directly with the U.S. Supreme Court shortly before midnight on Monday, challenging the election procedure in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin on the grounds that they violate the Constitution.
00:32:14.000So one of the first questions that you should probably think in this instance is: well, why is this just now happening and why can they go straight to the Supreme Court?
00:32:24.000Because you might know that Rudy Giuliani and Jenna Ellis have been arguing state by state.
00:32:30.000They've been holding these hearings with state legislatures.
00:32:34.000And then, meanwhile, every time their cases get dismissed at a lower court, they instantly appeal and they say, good, we wanted to get that out of the way quickly.
00:32:50.000Well, Texas approached the Supreme Court directly because Article 3 provides that it is the court of first impression on subjects, it is, meaning the Supreme Court, is the court of first impressions on subjects where it has original jurisdiction, such as disputes between two or more states.
00:33:10.000It's actually brilliant what the state of Texas has done here.
00:33:13.000So it's a maneuver, it's a legal maneuver that gets around all of these lower courts and takes it straight to the highest court in the land where technically we have sort of like a five and a half to three and a half majority.
00:33:56.000So the point is, you know, Texas argues that these states violated the electors clause of the Constitution because they made changes to voting rules and procedures through the courts or through executive actions, but not through the state legislature.
00:34:09.000So this ties back to our previous conversation of what's going on in Pennsylvania.
00:34:13.000In Pennsylvania, you had a heavily Democratic state Supreme Court, 5-2 Democrat to Republican, essentially gut Act 77.
00:34:23.000Now, Act 77, they're actually arguing is unconstitutional anyways because you have to change state election laws at the constitutional level, not at a law level.
00:35:21.000It's actually the Sydney Powell lawsuit here in Arizona, but he's alongside the other 10 electors.
00:35:25.000The state of Arizona has 11 electors, so 11 electoral votes.
00:35:29.000But they're saying, hey, just because there's too much fraudulent activity, there's too many irregularities, you have to let the state legislatures, which are Republican-controlled, appoint their own electors.
00:35:44.000According to the American Psychological Association, chronic stress is linked to the six leading causes of death.
00:35:50.000Stress has been implicated in heart issues, inflammation, obesity, mental illness, and more.
00:35:56.000Most people think of stress as caused by things like work, traffic, tense relationships.
00:36:16.000This is a mineral that helps most people, and they don't even know it.
00:36:20.000Magnesium is the body's master mineral.
00:36:23.000Powerful, over 300 critical reactions, including detoxification, fat metabolism, energy, stress, even digestion, is influenced by the presence of magnesium.
00:36:33.000If your body is giving you warning signs, why don't you listen to it?
00:36:36.000There's a new magnesium product called Magnesium Breakthrough.
00:36:40.000It's the ultimate magnesium supplement, easily the best I've ever seen your experience.
00:36:44.000Believe it or not, I actually have a lot of experience of magnesium.
00:36:49.000The Charlie Kirk Show is able to arrange for a special batch of it to be set aside for our audience this holiday.
00:36:56.000And I guarantee it's the best deal available on this product.
00:36:59.000Seriously, with volume discounts combined, with our custom 10% coupon code, Kirk10, you can save up to 40% off select packages of magnesium breakthrough.
00:38:27.000So they basically, yeah, they can't, they can't.
00:38:29.000And I mean, it's, you know, they say the resolution was very basic, per folks with knowledge.
00:38:33.000It would have notified American people that Congress is preparing for inauguration of Biden and Harris in coordination with health experts as we observe this transition of power.
00:38:42.000I mean, it's very basic, perfunctory, sort of Washington, you know, bureaucratic nonsense.
00:38:47.000But nevertheless, three Republicans, including McCarthy, McConnell, and Blunt, says.
00:38:53.000So it's not a binding resolution, basically.
00:38:57.000They can't begin to order the curtains for the Biden inauguration, basically.
00:39:09.000So, if you're out in the base, and I've seen this a lot, and I think it's actually something interesting for you to discuss, but a lot of people are saying, oh, this is all just to make the base happy, right?
00:39:21.000So, we talked about Eric Erickson yesterday.
00:39:23.000One of his main frustrations in this time we're in is he says, oh, all these people that know better are just trying to make the base happy.
00:39:30.000They're just doing the song and dance so they don't get a case.
00:40:06.000I should know how to pronounce his last name as a result.
00:40:08.000Nevertheless, he's friends with the kind of David French types and the smarter-than-thou conservatives.
00:40:18.000And, you know, this piece calls him a faux conservative at the New York Times.
00:40:22.000So he's a columnist at the New York Times, very smart guy, but he's, you know, he's basically been incredibly critical of Donald Trump, as you would predict.
00:40:31.000But he wrote a piece, you know, in the New York Times that says, why do so many Americans think that the election was stolen?
00:40:39.000And I think for him, it was this sort of good faith effort to say, hey, guys, take this seriously, that we have a problem here.
00:40:46.000There's a lot of people that don't think this election was on the up and up.
00:40:51.000And so this piece basically says, you know, in brief, this is a quote from it.
00:40:56.000I'd like to introduce Ross, Duthat, to Occam's Razor.
00:41:03.000And what Occam's Razor is, in short, all things being equal, the simplest and most forthright explanation is often the correct one.
00:41:12.000In the present case, the correct answer to Ross's question is, why do so many Americans think the election was stolen?
00:41:22.000And I think it's a wonderful summation of everything that we've been doing for weeks on this show.
00:41:29.000It's just to say this does not pass the eye test, the smell test, or anything.
00:41:35.000Just how normal people knew instinctively that their government was not being run correctly for the last 30 or 40 years, and President Trump represented a disruption and a hurricane that they could send to D.C., they know that this election was completely fraudulent.
00:41:49.000And so what's really interesting is how Democrats and how dark money groups are responding to this.
00:41:54.000So we were watching some cable TV this morning really early prepping for the show, going through all these articles, going through kind of what's happening in the news cycle, making phone calls to some of our sources inside.
00:42:03.000And this ad popped up, and I couldn't really believe it.
00:42:28.000Bill Barr, President Trump's attorney general and loyal ally, America's top prosecutor and a champion of conservative values.
00:42:37.000Now, when it comes to the November election, Bill Barr has said he, quote, has not seen fraud on a scale that could have affected a different outcome.
00:43:04.000You have the New York Times that says everything's going to be fine.
00:43:08.000By the way, that pro-Bill Barr ad is run by the Progressive State Leaders Committee, some left-wing super PAC.
00:43:16.000Why are they all of a sudden protesting so much, Andrew?
00:43:19.000Well, I think it's because different polls are out there stating different percentages.
00:43:25.000But Cruz last night, when he was speaking with Hannity, quoted that 39%, let's just say 40% of Americans think this election was stolen or that there was fraudulent activity happening.
00:43:37.000So they know that there's a lot of Americans, millions of Americans that are onto it.
00:44:12.000And by the way, and on Fox, which strange.
00:44:15.000So listen, I think that's one possibility that they know they're caught.
00:44:19.000The other possibility is, you know, the less conspiratorial, I would say, or the less, the more gracious one is that they're trying to bring the country together.
00:44:28.000Unity, build back better, all of that stuff, which I think, you know, I think.
00:44:34.000Well, but what's so stunning about this is you would only run that ad, which is a multi-hundred thousand, if not multi-million dollar ad buy, if you didn't think there was something to these voter integrity fights that we're doing.
00:44:45.000That's the only reason you would run an ad like that.
00:44:47.000I think they know that this election is so tainted and is so historically awful in the way that we have expanded the voter rolls.
00:44:57.000We've expanded mail-in balloting, which again, a bipartisan commission in 2005, chaired by former president Jimmy Carter, said it is mail-in balloting is the most presents the largest opportunity for voter fraud of all the different forms of voting that you can have.
00:45:16.000So we know that this election, just based on those two points, most mail-in balloting in history, bipartisan commission says it's the type of voting with the most fraud.
00:45:26.000We know that this was a historically unprecedented election in the way that we ran it.
00:45:31.000We also know that these state legislatures, which is exactly what Texas is alleging, have completely gutted all the safeguards put in place by the state constitutions and by normal law-abiding citizens to protect our elections.
00:46:49.000They're getting anxious that you're getting close to the grand prize, which very well might be certain states saying, we are not going to seat our electors.
00:47:01.000This may feel, I mean, I've talked to a lot of people off air and behind the scenes, and they say, oh, Andrew, this is a long shot of long shots.
00:47:24.000You've got a very small number of states separated by a very small number of votes, and you've got millions of ballots that are in question.
00:47:33.000So when you actually, when you think about it, how many votes are we down by in Wisconsin?
00:48:47.000And Texas, by the way, was the only state that I, well, maybe not the only state, but the very high-profile state that rejected Dominion voting systems because it was, you know, they three times.
00:48:56.000Yeah, there was not sufficient security measures in place.
00:49:00.000And by the way, Donald Trump won Texas by six points despite all the polls saying that he was going to lose Texas.
00:49:05.000Yeah, I mean, I'd love to win Texas by 15 points, but nevertheless, there's a balance problem.
00:50:10.000Yes, we were there for a hearing on motions to dismiss filed by every organization that you can imagine, even as interveners, where they had no place to be in our case.
00:50:21.000But the DNC and Perkins-Coy law firm and everyone aligned on the left decided to file briefs in our case, and the court let them do that.
00:50:31.000And they argued against our complaint that alleges all the election fraud and multiple federal constitutional claims that arise from that that invalidated the votes of hundreds of thousands of Georgians who voted for President Trump.
00:50:48.000Some had their votes eradicated effectively by fraudulent ballots.
00:50:54.000The court wouldn't pay any attention to any of it.
00:50:56.000It was obvious the judge had made up his mind before he hit the bench, and he read from a prepared, from prepared notes when he granted the motion to dismiss.
00:51:05.000So we had a real argument, but I would say it was essentially meaningless, except to the extent the public got to hear another federal judicial proceeding that didn't turn out the way it should have.
00:51:17.000So, Sydney, can you give us a little bit of a path forward?
00:52:18.000Well, and I think that's what it means is that behind the scenes, you've got powerful players that are basically saying to all of their high-priced attorneys and their most powerful allies in this space, they're saying, hey, get behind this, shut this down.
00:52:32.000Again, the lady doth protest too much, methinks.
00:52:36.000If it was such a bad case, why is all of a sudden Perkins coin showing up?
00:52:56.000Well, so this is what's interesting about this judge's rationale for dismissing this.
00:53:02.000He says, additionally, I find that the plaintiffs waited too long to file this suit.
00:53:08.000Their primary complaint involves the Dominion ballot marking devices.
00:53:12.000They say those machines are susceptible to fraud.
00:53:14.000There is no reason they could not have followed the Administrative Procedure Act to the rulemaking authority that had been exercised by the Secretary of State.
00:53:23.000This suit could have been filed months ago at the time these machines were adopted.
00:53:27.000Well, that is a heck of a thing to say.
00:53:31.000I mean, he's saying months ago when these machines were adopted.
00:53:36.000Yeah, months ago, nobody knew what Dominion was.
00:53:59.000Sydney Powell's right to appeal and what she's going to do ASAP.
00:54:04.000Does it make sense that the company who controls half of online retail eavesdrops on your private conversations at home?
00:54:10.000What about the idea that a single company controls 90% of search results, runs your email service, and gets to track everything you do on your smartphone?
00:54:18.000Big tech and big data, they're more powerful than most countries are, and they profit by exploiting your personal data.
00:54:24.000It's time to put a layer of protection between your online activity and these tech juggernauts, and that's why I use ExpressVPN.
00:54:30.000Look, they're spying on you right now.
00:54:33.000We talk about this a lot on the Charlie Kirk show.
00:54:35.000Do you want to protect yourself from spying thieves?
00:55:30.000It's ExpressVPN, the only VPN I trust.

00:55:43.000Go to expressvpn.com slash Charlie right now to learn more.
00:55:49.000Andrew, do you want to keep on building that out?
00:55:51.000Yeah, I mean, it's just, I just find it really absurd that they're basically saying, how come you didn't file your complaints about Dominion before?
00:55:59.000I bet Sidney Powell had not, didn't even know, you know, Dominion was a thing.
00:56:03.000She's constantly said over and over again, you know, she's shocked at what she's uncovered.
00:56:08.000She had no idea how did these things get through?
00:56:12.000How come the ownership alone of Dominion voting system is so questionable?
00:56:25.000And Hugo Chavez, you know, basically became a dictator, but he won election again and again and again in these very convincing landslide victories where he was expected to lose on a few of those occasions.
00:56:40.000And they essentially inverted the results.
00:56:44.000And it's a wild thing when you go to a place like Miami and Florida and you meet all these Venezuelans that have fled.
00:56:52.000They're Venezuelan exiles living in the United States.
00:56:55.000I mean, this is one of the reasons why Florida went so convincingly for the president is because they were fleeing this banana republic, no institutional integrity systems that we have in South America.
00:57:16.000And so for this judge to say, well, why didn't you file this back then?
00:57:20.000Nobody knew any of this, except for the people that probably pulled it off, right?
00:57:24.000Now, listen, I don't know that votes were getting switched.
00:57:27.000I can tell you that very reputable people, including Amy Klobuchar and Elizabeth Warren, are on the record just as I think in 2019, complaining that these systems were vulnerable to cyber threats.
00:57:43.000That's back when the left used to care about this.
00:57:45.000Well, and that was back before, if that were true, it would hurt them.
00:57:50.000But now they don't want to talk about it because their guy got in, nothing to see here, move on.
00:57:56.000But before, they were actually saying, hey, there's reasonable reason to be suspicious here about these voting systems.
00:58:04.000So, anyways, I think it's a really valid question.
00:58:08.000Okay, do you want to walk us through this Texas lawsuit?
00:58:10.000Because a lot of people are asking us about that.
00:58:14.000So the state of Texas filed a lawsuit directly with the U.S. Supreme Court shortly before midnight on Monday, challenging the election procedures in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin on the grounds that they violate the Constitution.
00:58:27.000So one of the first things that we need to explain in this instance is how did Texas get to the Supreme Court when other litigators like Jenna Ellis and Rudy Giuliani have been essentially doing barnstorming the nation in all of these six battlegrounds.
00:58:43.000Yeah, and they've had their cases dismissed and what they do instantly is they appeal.
00:58:49.000And you'll often hear somebody like Jenna Ellis say, hey, thanks for turning us down quickly.
00:58:55.000We knew you were going to turn us down.
00:58:56.000We're on our way to the Supreme Court.
00:58:59.000So, what's so genius about what happened today with Texas and why it's a big deal, why this story on Breitbart that I'm reading from by Joel Pollock, who's a friend of the show, why it has 20,000 comments right now, which is a lot, is that they found a loophole, essentially, a legal maneuver that got them right to the top of the food chain here, which is the Supreme Court.
00:59:25.000So, here's the kicker of how they were able to do this.
00:59:29.000Texas approached the Supreme Court directly because Article 3 provides that it is the court of first impression on subjects where it has original jurisdiction, such as disputes between two or more states.
00:59:45.000Article 3 states that because it's a dispute between two states, in this instance, we're talking about Texas versus Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin.
00:59:56.000So, they have to determine it because it's two states going back to back here, going up against brilliant.
01:00:42.000Okay, so, but that was still a good quote.
01:00:44.000He took a lot of flack for saying he wanted his kids to live free in the state, in this country, even if that meant he had a greater risk of contracting COVID.
01:00:53.000Anyway, so these are the merits of the case.
01:00:56.000So Texas is arguing that Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin violate the Constitution because they violated the Electors Clause of the Constitution because they made changes to voting rules and procedures through the courts or through executive actions, but not through the state legislatures.
01:01:16.000Okay, so in the Constitution, the Electors Clause grants state legislatures the authority to do these sorts of things, right?
01:01:23.000So to change election laws at the state level.
01:01:25.000Something Charlie always says and something we repeat, it's a mantra here.
01:01:29.000The United States was formed by the states, not the other way around.
01:02:17.000So that's a provision within the Constitution that is essentially empowering officials at the state level as opposed to the federal level to be directly involved in the selection of a president.
01:02:31.000And so what they're saying is that these states violated it.
01:02:33.000They took the power out of the legislature's hands, the state legislature's hands, and they gave it to a Supreme Court in the instance of Pennsylvania, which has a five to two Democrat majority.
01:02:44.000So it's a completely partisan Supreme Court in Pennsylvania.
01:04:02.000So how do we go, how did we accept so many more ballots, even though there were millions more being cast?
01:04:08.000And the other thing we know is that when ballots are cast by newcomers to the absentee system, they get rejected at a greater rate because it's confusing.
01:04:17.000You read the instructions wrong, whatever it might be.
01:04:20.000And yet we have this phenomenon happening all over the country.
01:04:23.000So Texas is saying these states have violated the Constitution and the Constitution's Equal Protection Clause.
01:04:30.000So the Equal Protection Clause, and I know you know a decent amount about this, but it's essentially a lot of the wonks behind the scenes are arguing that it's actually the Equal Protection Clause.
01:04:41.000If Trump is going to overturn this election, it might be because of the Equal Protection Clause.
01:04:45.000That might actually be the strongest legal footing he has to stand on.
01:04:50.000And so some of you guys are asking, well, why is it that every one of these states have different ways of doing things?
01:04:56.000Again, the Constitution actually calls for a state-based system to elect our president.
01:05:01.000It might frustrate you, but if we had a federal system, it could very well be worse.
01:05:19.000And the brilliant of Ken Paxton is Texas suing Georgia, as you mentioned, Article 3.
01:05:25.000And the precedent is the only way to remedy state conflicts.
01:05:29.000I think this was decided first in the Commerce Clause, or it was either Marbury versus Madison.
01:05:34.000It was one of the first lawsuits, consequential lawsuits, when you have state conflicts, which actually does not happen very often, by the way.
01:05:42.000It goes immediately to the United States Supreme Court.
01:05:45.000Yeah, because of Article 3, which says the Court of First Impressions.
01:05:49.000I don't think it was Marbury versus Madison was the National Bank, I think.
01:05:52.000Nevertheless, this is what the Texas lawsuit says.
01:05:56.000This is pulling a select from their lawsuit.
01:06:00.000Certain officials in the defendant states, again, those defendant states are Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
01:06:08.000Certain officials presented the pandemic as the justification for ignoring state laws regarding absentee and mail and voting.
01:06:15.000The defendant states flooded their citizenry with tens of millions of ballot applications and ballots in derogation of statutory controls as to how they are lawfully received, evaluated, and counted.
01:06:27.000Whether well-intentioned or not, these unconstitutional acts had the same uniform effect.
01:06:32.000They made the 2020 election less secure in the defendant states.
01:06:37.000So remember when people tell you that this was the most secure election in American history and when the social media platforms and you posted about it and they said, this is contested.
01:06:57.000And again, we always go back to that bipartisan commission, election commission, chaired by former president Jimmy Carter that said mail-in balloting is the least secure way to vote.
01:07:09.000So this is essentially what this lawsuit is hinging on.
01:07:13.000It's saying this was the least secure election in those defendant states.
01:07:19.000Those changes are inconsistent with relevant state laws and were made by non-legislative entities, again, that don't have the power to do so, yet they did it anyways, because of the pandemic.
01:07:30.000So so much of 2020, you can relate back to this pandemic.
01:07:35.000I feel like the only major piece of this year's news that wasn't about the pandemic was Solomani.
01:07:43.000It was like Solomoni was the big news story.
01:08:13.000So the decision I was thinking of that probably applies to this most is McCullough versus Maryland, which, again, Marbury versus Madison, all these M's, Marlborough versus Madison, McCullough versus Maryland, which was the Supreme Court decision that defined the scope of the United States Congress's legislative power in relates to state legislatures.
01:08:33.000So basically the dispute, and again, I'm reading here from an academic paper, is basically the national bank and a tax on the state of Maryland imposed on it.
01:08:42.000And in the ruling, the Supreme Court established the necessary and proper clause, which gives the federal government certain implied powers that are not necessarily explicitly enumerated in the Constitution.
01:08:54.000And this is the big part, that the federal government is supreme over the states.
01:08:58.000And so states' ability to interfere with the federal government is limited.
01:09:02.000Therefore, the states all of a sudden can't say, well, this is where the precedent for the Civil Rights Act and all this came in.
01:09:07.000But more than that, the U.S. Supreme Court can say to Georgia, you're not allowed to all of a sudden violate the Equal Protection Clause just because you're Georgia.
01:09:18.000So there is a limit to state sovereignty.
01:09:30.000Well, yeah, but it's necessarily federal because we have to be able to trust the people traveling within state boundaries that they have entered the country legally, which requires a federal oversight.
01:09:41.000You know, Army, Navy, these types of things also have federal oversight.
01:09:46.000So there's legal maneuvering, there's nuance with different issues.
01:09:51.000But this is one particular issue, as you just pointed out, where the Supreme Court is sovereign.
01:10:21.000Courtney says this, isn't it part of the genius in the lawsuit that these states will have no protection under the Safe Harbor Act?
01:10:28.000Quote, under the Electoral Count Act of 1887, Congress must count the electoral votes from states that choose their electors and resolve any legal disputes over the choice by the acts deadline.
01:10:41.000So this is what we're dealing with in Pennsylvania.
01:10:43.000And this is why what happened with Alito.
01:10:46.000For those of you who don't know, Alito had originally, again, different Supreme Court justices are sort of appointed to different states to handle emergency filings, right?
01:10:59.000So in this instance, you had Parnell and Kelly file an emergency brief before asking for emergency relief to the Supreme Court.
01:11:07.000And Alito was the person, is the justice in charge of Pennsylvania.
01:11:11.000So he was the one that said, okay, sure, I'm going to set a deadline of December 9th originally that says Governor Wolf and the state of Pennsylvania have to present their defense of why they think this case has no merit by December 9th.
01:11:26.000Well, then he moved it up to December 8th.
01:11:28.000And the rationale largely is this safe harbor idea, right?
01:11:33.000So the safe harbor essentially says that these states are going to pick their electors, assuming there is no pending legal disputes.
01:11:41.000Okay, well, on the 9th, they would have picked them.
01:11:45.000There would have been no pending legal disputes, right?
01:11:48.000But on the 8th, if you get this done and Alito says, actually, I'm going to hear the case of the Supreme Court.
01:11:54.000I'm going to grant you emergency relief.
01:11:56.000Let's have it in front of the full court.
01:11:58.000Well, then there's still pending legal challenges to picking the electors.
01:12:05.000And so to your point, to our very smart viewers' point, if the Supreme Court is now involved in multiple states, then it would be a constitutional question that you could argue.
01:12:19.000Yes, there's pending litigation and challenges in all of these states.
01:12:22.000Therefore, you can't seat electors, which is a big deal.
01:12:41.000I mean, here's what's interesting: Phil Klein and the Amistad Project, couldn't speak any more highly of them.
01:12:49.000They're filing in all these states, right?
01:12:52.000And they're breaking down their legal challenges by different vote buckets, basically that they're challenging the legitimacy of different vote buckets.
01:13:00.000Now, again, I bring this back to the top for a reason: that this is an unprecedented election.
01:14:06.000He is the worst thing that we've seen since the 1940s.
01:14:11.000That's the only thing they could unite behind.
01:14:13.000It's the only thing that they can unite behind.
01:14:14.000And this is actually a really fascinating side tangent that we could go on about the pending civil war within the Democrat Party.
01:14:22.000But you've got this man that they've all united behind, and they genuinely think this.
01:14:28.000They genuinely think that they are saving the Republic and potentially saving the world by defeating Donald Trump and doing it through this sort of color revolution, this, I guess, nonviolent means, right?
01:14:43.000And so you've got multiple players in theory.
01:14:46.000Now, this is a building legal case, a building theory, building idea.
01:14:52.000But you've got old school Democrat machine politics at play in the cities like Milwaukee, Detroit, these Democrats, strongholds, Philadelphia.
01:15:02.000We had Robert Cahaley on the show a couple weeks before the election saying, hey, I've got from Trafalgar Group, who turned out to be the most accurate pollster in the country.
01:15:11.000He had us, he had Trump up by a couple points in Pennsylvania.
01:15:15.000He said, and you said, so you think he's going to win Pennsylvania?
01:15:51.000It was an honor duel, old school style, and he shot Alexander Hamilton, our nation's first Secretary of the Treasury.
01:15:58.000So Burr, interestingly enough, he was vice president under Thomas Jefferson, but Burr raised a bunch of money to go solve a water problem in New York, only spent a little bit of money on that, and he ended up establishing the Bank of New York, ended up becoming J.P. Morgan Chase, as it is today, and ended up becoming the center of all political corruption on the East Coast.
01:16:24.000And that was kind of the start of where all the vote counting nonsense happened because Aaron Burr wanted to create a political machine there.
01:16:33.000Well, no, the machinery does go far back.
01:16:35.000And a lot of these places have not had Republican, I guess, you know, political representation or rule majorities in decades and decades and decades.
01:16:47.000And they've become corrupt, which single-party rule, just look at the state of California, becomes corrupt when they have a supermajority there in California, and things devolve quickly.
01:16:59.000The point is, there was multiple tracks.
01:17:03.000One is, you know, I think with a wink and a nod, what happened was, you know, the powers that be said, hey, this election, do what you always do, just do a little extra.
01:18:38.000They've isolated all these different buckets.
01:18:41.000And they've so just on a simply procedural.
01:18:43.000So there's multiple ways you could attack this.
01:18:45.000You've got old school machinery, Democrat machinery.
01:18:48.000You've got mail and ballot madness and these electors base or these state governors and oftentimes state supreme courts overruling the legislatures.
01:19:00.000You've got ballot, you know, there's multiple different axes of attack, axes of attack, as I've heard it said, on this election that make us all, you know, obviously question it, not to mention the wonderful article out of the Federalist, The Five Miracles that Biden magically pulled off, where he basically new analysis shows Biden winning nearly impossible margins on mail and ballots in Pennsylvania.
01:19:25.000Basically, there's just, if exit polling holds in Pennsylvania after election night, Biden still comes up like two or three hundred thousand votes short in Pennsylvania.
01:19:36.000He would have had to win a statistically, basically impossible amount of mail and ballots.
