00:00:30.000We go into the new bombshell revelations from Georgia and why is it that the FBI was more concerned about entrapping Trump than doing their job going after the worst people imaginable in our society?

00:02:48.000I want to lead with a story that quite honestly is not something that you're going to hear on almost any other broadcast or any other podcast or radio show or television show over the next couple days.
00:03:01.000It's one of those stories that is important, yet gets almost no coverage, yet it tells us something very important about our government.
00:03:08.000It tells us a lot about what we are living through and what we can actually do about it.
00:03:15.000We all know that there are limitations on resources.
00:03:18.000No matter how big an enterprise or entity is, there are limitations on how much one organization can actually do.
00:03:27.000There's always limitations even on our military, on law enforcement in particular.
00:03:32.000Therefore, when we talk about when we allocate political power, we need to ask ourselves, what is the priority, especially when it comes to law enforcement?
00:03:43.000Now, the obvious is that we should care about the most heinous crimes in particular.
00:03:48.000We should care about the types of crimes that are almost unspeakably evil.
00:03:53.000When we look at law enforcement, law enforcement should be first and foremost focused on making sure that child sex trafficking is not occurring, that gun smuggling is not occurring, making sure that foreign terrorism threats are not embedding themselves into our country.
00:04:13.000But as we have seen the American political landscape start to embrace and indulge this idea of using political power to try to destroy your opposition, we now see the brutal and human cost of politics.
00:04:29.000We now see what the cost of playing Republican and Democrat in our own government is.
00:04:39.000Yesterday, a report was published that got very little coverage, which was an investigation and review of the Federal Bureau of Investigations' handling of the allegations of sexual abuse by the former USA gymnastics physician, Larry Nasser, an absolute scumbag of the lowest possible order, but he credibly accused by so many different people,
00:05:06.000young ladies that were taken advantage of by Nasser.
00:05:11.000He was employed as a physician, an associate professor at Michigan State University.
00:05:17.000Many of you remember hearing about this in the news and his pattern of abuse.
00:05:28.000Well, if you read this report, if you read what has now been published by the Inspector General, you realize for years leading up to the eventual revealing of this pattern of behavior, our own government was too busy to actually investigate and prosecute Lawrence Nasser for criminally sexually abusing children.
00:05:58.000In July of 2015, a USA gymnastics internal investigation into the allegations of sexual assault by Nasser against several gymnasts.
00:06:07.000It was referred to the FBI's Indianapolis field office.
00:06:11.000The allegations reported to the FBI came from gymnasts who were minors at the time.
00:06:19.000In September 2nd, 2015, the Indianapolis Supervisory Special Agent, another special agent from Indianapolis, conducted a field office interview by telephone.
00:06:28.000However, the FBI Lansing resident agency is never informed about the allegations at all.
00:06:36.000September 4th, 2015, the FBI Indianapolis field office informs USA Gymnastics that information related to Nasser and the Nasser matter has been sent to the Detroit FBI field office, but that never actually happened.
00:06:48.000So meanwhile, he's allowed to continue to sexually abuse children, young ladies, who are gymnasts.
00:06:58.000In May of 2016, USA gymnastics officials meet with the FBI field office.
00:07:04.000Approximately eight months of inactivity by the FBI in investigating the Nasser allegations.
00:07:12.000May 11th, 2016, as well as LA field office finally opens an investigation into Nasser after months of doing nothing and ignoring these tips.
00:07:23.000In September 12, 2016, the Indianapolis Star publishes an article detailing allegations against Nasser made by four, by two former gymnasts.
00:07:38.000It's because they're actually not as incompetent as you might think.
00:07:41.000It's because they were distracted with things they cared about more.
00:07:45.000During this exact period of time, they were too busy concocting a plan using Carter Page and a foreign FISA warrant to go spy on Donald Trump.
00:07:59.000The cost of using government for your own political means means that scumbags and evil people like Lawrence Nasser are not going to be investigated and prosecuted.
00:08:08.000So beyond the illegal nature of spying on President Trump, despite the illegal nature of using Christopher Steele, I should say with the dossier, spying on Carter Page, which we know happened during this period of time.
00:08:20.000Now, do you know what also happened in the summer of 2016 when this occurred?
00:08:25.000Peter Struckstroke Smirk was texting his adulterous lover, Lisa Page, saying, we're not going to allow him to get elected.
00:08:35.000You see, Peter Struckstroke Smirk was not worrying about criminal sexual abusers at Michigan State University.
00:08:42.000The FBI wouldn't be distracted by such means of protecting children.
00:08:48.000And so as we recognize that there are limited resources in all things that involve human beings, limited time, limited money, why is it that our own government has been allowed over the last couple years to ignore legitimate crimes against our own citizens while entrapping a duly elected president and his presidential campaign in 2016 and didn't stop there?
00:09:10.000In January of 2017, this continued, and the FBI was still dragging their feet.
00:09:20.000The FBI was sending Peter Strzok into the White House, according to his own 302s that have now been declassified, to entrap Lieutenant General Michael Flint.
00:09:34.000The Federal Bureau of Investigation, according to their own Inspector General report, was more worried about putting a general of the United States who served his country heroically in jail than Lawrence Nasser in jail.
00:09:51.000Our own FBI was more concerned about going after George Papadopoulos than a serial child sexual abuser in Michigan.
00:10:02.000Our own FBI was more worried about going after Roger Stone and Paul Manafort on half-truths and rumors than people that are the lowest level of existence that we could possibly imagine.
00:10:15.000What I'm getting at is that there is a cost to all things in life, and the cost of politics in our government is very simple.
00:10:23.000The opportunity cost is you destroy your political opponents, but then you allow evil people to roam free.
00:10:34.000How many years have I been telling you about Relief Factor?
00:10:38.000In fact, some people say over 100 million people are struggling with some kind of pain, maybe from exercise or just getting older.
00:10:45.000Now, Pete and Seth Talbot, they are on a mission.
00:10:47.000You rarely see this kind of focus and commitment.
00:10:49.000They recently shared with me that they are doubling down and want to literally double their total number of happy customers in the next year.
00:11:08.000So maybe you want to be able to do cartwheels or be able to do backflips like Producer Andrew.
00:11:13.000Maybe you want to be able to run a marathon, swim underwater, go scuba diving, jump out of an airplane, or maybe you want to be able to go to the Phoenix Suns finals game like some other people that are going.
00:11:23.000But maybe it's your knee pain, back pain, joint pain, whatever pain it might be.
00:11:53.000There's only so much bandwidth when you try to use political power to destroy and to try and usurp the other side.
00:12:02.000It wasn't a priority for James Comey to make sure that people that are taking advantage of children go to jail.
00:12:10.000It's not a priority for Peter Strzok or Lisa Page.
00:12:13.000No, it's a priority is to make sure that that Donald Trump guy never becomes president because as I quote, Peter Strzok texted Lisa Page and said, we are not going to allow him to win.
00:12:27.000That we are not going to allow Donald Trump to win.
00:12:34.000And so we have this new inspector general report that shows the brutal and human cost of politicizing everything.
00:12:43.000You walk through this, you realize that there wasn't just an indifference from the FBI.
00:12:49.000They just almost couldn't be bothered by it.
00:12:51.000And then it begs the question, how many criminals like Nasser are walking free and doing this right now in America that are currently not being investigated or prosecuted because the FBI is too worried about infiltrating or monitoring groups that they do not like.
00:13:10.000How many other criminals are walking free right now because field officers are too worried about the political nature of law enforcement?
00:13:19.000The more I dive into this, the more I realize that the intel agencies in our country have a disproportionate amount of power.
00:13:26.000There is no check and balance against the law enforcement agencies.
00:13:30.000People do not go to jail equally for doing the same things.
00:13:32.000They do not get even prosecuted or investigated equally for doing the same things.
00:13:39.000In fact, yesterday, Tucker Carlson had a bombshell show, as we predicted, where he dedicated serious amount of time about this new story out of Georgia that shows that thousands of ballots were put through the machine multiple times.
00:15:09.000In fact, Brad Roffensperger, the head of the head, the Secretary of State of Georgia, who we've gone after quite a lot on this program, has now called for the Fulton County people to resign.
00:15:20.000And Brad Roffensperger came out back in January and December, despite all the pressure we put on him.
00:15:32.000So here's what we know tonight, factually.
00:15:35.000At least 36 batches of mail-in ballots from the November election were double counted in Fulton County.
00:15:40.000That's a total of more than 4,000 votes.
00:15:43.000Those numbers come from a group called Voter GA, which along with Bob Cheely sued to get them.
00:15:48.000The final tally from the double counts we know about amounts to more than 3,300 votes for Joe Biden and 865 votes for Donald Trump.
00:15:58.000Now, before you dismiss Bob Cheely and Voter GA as dishonest partisan actors, keep in mind that the strongly left of center Atlanta Journal Constitution appears to agree with this, at least in outline.
00:16:12.000As you know, my friend Mike Lindell has a passion to help everyone get the best sleep of your life.
00:16:17.000He didn't stop by simply creating the best pillow.
00:16:19.000Mike created the new Giza Dream bedsheets.
00:16:22.000They look and feel great, which means an even better night's sleep for me, which is what's crucial for my busy schedule.
00:16:27.000Mike found the world's best cotton called Giza.
00:16:30.000It's ultra-soft and breathable, but extremely durable.
00:16:33.000Mike's Giza sheets come with a 60-day money-back guarantee and a 10-year warranty.
00:16:38.000The first night you sleep on Giza sheets, you will never want to sleep on anything else.
00:16:43.000Giza Dream sheets come in a variety of sizes and colors.

00:17:15.000Did you know that 59 of the 96 phones assigned to the Mueller probe have gone missing and no one has decided to try to get them back?
00:17:25.000I wonder what's on those phones from the Mueller probe.
00:17:28.000Republicans, Senator Ron Johnson, let me just say, Senator Ron Johnson has been, alongside Rand Paul, probably the best and most courageous Republican senator of 2021.
00:17:51.000They sent a letter to the Justice Department on Wednesday asking for more information regarding missing phones used by special counsel Robert Mueller's team during the Russian collusion investigation.
00:18:00.000The senators sent the letter after finding out the Justice Department, quote, could not locate 59 of 96 phones used by special counselor Robert Mueller's team.
00:18:12.000One team member in particular, Andrew Weissman, appears to have deleted all of the data on his phone more than once.
00:18:19.000By the way, if you did this under subpoena, you would go to jail, just so you're clear, that the way the FBI and our law enforcement acts, if you did what they did with custody of devices, you go to jail.
00:18:32.000Now, Hillary Clinton got away with it, obviously, as well, bleach bidding and destroying your emails.
00:18:37.000But meanwhile, we have to go indict Donald Trump's CFO because he had a company car.
00:18:41.000On September 27th, another report read, quote, AAW accidentally, Andrew Weissman, wiped cell phone data.
00:18:51.000On two occasions, officials had admitted to deleting the data, and multiple individuals stated that the phone automatically wiped the data after they used the wrong password too many times.
00:19:35.000IRS lost lowest learner emails in Tea Party Pro, June 13th, 2014.
00:19:41.000It's almost like this is a pattern where if you do something illegal and wrong with our government, we're going to destroy the evidence so you can't find out that we did it.
00:19:50.000In fact, we can even find the tape way back in the archives of Paul Ryan, of all people, even saying to Lois Lerner and the people running the IRS, I don't believe you.
00:20:03.000But Lois Lerner still gets a full pension and was never held accountable for targeting American Christian, conservative, and Tea Party and patriotic groups during the rise of the Tea Party.
00:20:18.000Let's get to some sound here, focusing more on the Georgia election fraud story.
00:20:26.000This came out yesterday on Tucker Carlson's show.
00:20:30.000We have a whole podcast focusing on this.
00:20:32.000And Brad Roffensperger is now calling for the Fulton County election officials to be fired.
00:20:39.000The question is, how could he possibly still have confidence in the Fulton County election results he certified?
00:20:44.000Remember, he said that anyone who's challenging his results, they're a threat to democracy.
00:20:50.000Remember, he sent out that Gabe guy, that subcontractor, he kept on sending them out on cable television.
00:20:57.000And he said, people are going to get killed if you ask these questions.
00:21:17.000Well, if you ask Fulton County, these discrepancies, the ones you just saw on the screen, were isolated incidents, just a handful of bad ballots happens all the time.
00:21:25.000The county claims that any errors were caught in previous recounts.
00:21:28.000The problem is that neither one of those claims is true.
00:21:31.000Surveillance footage obtained by Voter GA appears to show large numbers of ballots being scanned multiple times.
00:21:38.000Pay attention in the tape we're showing you to the woman wearing yellow at the desk.
00:21:42.000According to Voter GA, she slides ballots into a scanning machine, removes the ballots, and then reinserts the same ballots.
00:21:56.000Now, where's the Department of Justice?
00:21:58.000Bill Barr and the Department of Justice, now run by Merrick Garland, they're too busy prosecuting Trump supporters and people in Trump's orbit.
00:22:08.000Did you just hear what Tucker Carlson said on national television?
00:22:11.000There's a video of a woman in yellow just throwing ballots through the machine.
00:22:14.000That is in violation of state law, federal law.
00:22:19.000If there's ever been a time for the Department of Justice to step up, it would be now.
00:22:51.000Now, one way to know the answer would be to check what are called audit tally sheets.
00:22:56.000Tellingly, for months after the presidential election, Fulton County failed to provide more than 100,000 of those tally sheets, including 50,000 of them for mail-in ballots.
00:23:06.000When Voter GA finally forced Fulton County to turn over the tally sheets, the conclusion was stunning.
00:23:20.000For example, a batch containing 59 actual ballot images for Joe Biden and 42 for Donald Trump was reported as 100 for Biden and zero for Trump.
00:25:04.000That is not the right way to approach this.
00:25:06.000This was an injustice against our country.
00:25:08.000And by the way, you might not like Trump, which some people email us not liking Trump, but you want to have Chuck Schumer run the U.S. Senate.
00:25:17.000If this Georgia nonsense was put in place and maybe David Perdue would have actually understood the forces organized against him, the Senate would be in Republican hands right now.
00:25:30.000Instead, establishment Republicans have been perfectly fine sitting idly by while this injustice continues.
00:25:41.000We are on the razor's edge of totalitarianism.
00:25:45.000Cut 66, Tucker Carlson says, the whistleblower tells us that the ballots were filled out by a printer, not by hand, and that there were over 200 ballot images that were not counted in the November recount.
00:25:57.000And the Atlanta Journal Constitution, the Democrat New York Times equivalent in Atlanta, they agree Cut 66.
00:26:07.000And then the whistleblower noticed something else.
00:26:09.000All of the ballots, the whistleblower tells us, have been filled out by a printer, not by hand.
00:26:15.000And many of them supported the exact same candidates, Democrats, including Joe Biden.
00:26:20.000Voter GA detected a series of other apparent irregularities in the recount.
00:26:24.000The group's audit found, for example, that, quote, over 200 Fulton County mail and ballot images contained votes that were not included in the hand count audit results for the November election.
00:26:35.000200 Fulton County mail and ballot images containing votes that were not included in the hand count audit results for the November election.
00:28:12.000God bless Tucker Carlson for having the courage and the clarity and the conviction to elevate this to the largest cable news audience in television history.
00:28:26.000Tucker Carlson, an election election expert, found that 35,000 votes, voters moved out of their county and they still voted in their own county.
00:28:38.000And again, I want you to just think about this.
00:28:42.000In 2016, when Trump won Wisconsin by 10,000 votes, do you think if there was a video of a Trump supporter in rural Wisconsin putting ballots to the machines multiple times, do you think that would have resulted in an investigation or questions from the Democrats?
00:29:04.000If there were folded up ballots that were never in mail-in ballot envelopes in Michigan when Trump surprisingly won Michigan, do you think that would have warranted an investigation?
00:29:14.000Do you think that the Department of Justice and the FBI would have went after those people that did that?
00:30:33.000The Republican Party only exists currently as an anti-Democrat party.
00:30:40.000No one actually goes and votes for Republicans because they're so enthused about them because they do very little to actually defend our values and fight for our country.
00:30:48.000They're just there because we know they're going to get in the way of Democrats if we scream loud enough.
00:30:53.000And so here we have a series of our freedoms and our liberties being routinely and systematically destroyed and quite honestly silenced from so many of our leaders on these issues.
00:32:40.000In fact, I believe the American left wants that.
00:32:43.000Instead of answering our questions and saying, you know what, that is kind of weird that that woman on the video is putting those ballots through multiple times.
00:32:51.000They're saying, no, no, you actually don't see that two plus two equals five.
00:32:57.000Did you ever read the fine print that appears when you start browsing in incognito mode?
00:33:00.000It says that your activity might still be visible to your employer, your school, or your internet service provider.
00:33:07.000To really stop these people from visiting, from seeing the sites you visit, you need to do what I do and use ExpressVPN.
00:33:13.000Think about all the times you've used the Wi-Fi at a coffee shop, a hotel, or even at your parents' home.
00:33:18.000Without ExpressVPN, every single site you visit could be logged by the admin of that network.
00:33:24.000And that's still true when you're in incognito mode.
00:33:26.000What's more is your home internet provider, I'm talking about Comcast, ATT, or whatever, can also see and record your browsing data.
00:33:33.000ExpressVPN is an application, it's an app that encrypts all of your network data and reroutes it through a network of secure servers that your private online activity says just that, private.
00:33:44.000ExpressVPN works on all of your devices and it's super easy to use.

00:34:05.000We're about to take live the Arizona audit that is happening right now.
00:34:10.000Senator Karen Phan from Arizona, let's listen in live.
00:34:15.000If the speakers who are here, as President Phan said, she's the Senate president.
00:34:20.000I'm the Judiciary Chairman, Warren Peterson.
00:34:24.000If we could just start with the three who are here to speak, if you could just introduce yourself and maybe provide us with some of your background and credentials.
00:34:39.000I want to thank you, Chairman Peterson, and Madam President, for all of the support that you've given for the audit.
00:34:46.000I think transparency has always benefited our democracy, and it continues to be an honor to work with you to bring transparency to our election process.
00:34:59.000I've held several industry-recognized certifications, such as the Certified Information System Security Professional, GAC Web Application Penetration Tester, and the GAC Certified Incident Handler.
00:35:10.000I have personally done work for companies such as JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America, and my company regularly works with Fortune 500 clients and the federal government.
00:35:20.000Specifically, our specialty is in application security, which allows us to be experts in complicated application systems such as voting systems.
00:35:29.000For this reason, we're actually pulled into the work in Antrim, Michigan, and it was my team that helps assist Matt DiPerno with a lot of the findings they've had associated with specifically election software.
00:35:48.000have an accounting degree from Arizona State University and have been a private businessman for 35 years with a variety of companies, including an 83-year-old family business up in the Prescott area.
00:36:00.000Served as the Senate president from 2003 to 2007, also as a senator four years prior to that, so eight years in the state senate from 99 to 2007.
00:36:12.000I also served as the Secretary of State for the state of Arizona from 2009 until 2015.
00:36:19.000And as I said, I have been asked to be the Senate's liaison to the audit.
00:36:32.000I am a court-recognized expert witness in digital forensics and incident response.
00:36:42.000And I have over 25 years' experience performing these tasks both for the U.S. government and for private industries such as law firms.
00:36:52.000We have specialized in providing these types of services now as a private company since 2002, and we continue that support within the industry to this day.
00:37:16.000Mr. Logan, I'm going to ask you to please open this segment up so that we can just walk through where you've been, where we're going, what you need to continue going and get to the end results of whatever those results might be.
00:37:33.000I know that from the get-go in the very beginning, we said that we were not going to release any information until the audit was completely finished.
00:37:42.000But we are at this juncture where I believe you want to share some information with us because of the reasons why we have not still received the things that were on the original subpoena that Maricope County is withholding from us, as well as additional information you're going to need to complete this full forensic audit.
00:38:02.000So I will turn to get us kicked off here.
00:38:07.000I think what I'd like to start with is we've actually put together a short video that gives an overview of what we've done with the audit and some of the details associated with it.
00:38:14.000So could we put an exhibit A up on the screens, please?
00:38:21.000I think as all my years as a county manager and working at the executive level in local government, I've never seen a process so unprecedented than this audit.
00:38:32.000The transparency, the accountability, the integrity, and the overall chain of custody is something that is incomparable to any audit that's ever been conducted in the United States.
00:38:47.000It was an important part of the process in identifying the individuals to assist us in the audit.
00:38:57.000But we didn't care what party you were, whether you were Democrat, Republican, Independent, Libertarian, far left, far right, as long as you entered the building with good intention, knowing that you were going to follow a sense of accountability, that you had integrity, and to do the right thing, this is what it was about.
00:39:17.000We wanted everybody in this building to be beyond reproach.
00:39:22.000With over 1,500 volunteers and 200 paid staff, we had people from all over the country in all walks of life.
00:39:29.000It was important because our chain of command was vital to the structural management process of the audit.
00:39:37.000We had vice presidents, we had managers, and then we had table managers.
00:39:43.000But people came from all over, from Pennsylvania to Iowa, from Virginia, Washington, D.C., and of course, the state of Arizona.
00:39:52.000We had retired FBI agents, retired IRS auditors, we had technical professionals, we had CEOs of companies, election workers, and supervisors.
00:40:08.000We had even a United States Air Force general who had retired who spent every day working tirelessly to make sure the audit was done with quality.
00:40:20.000Although it was only Maricopa County residents who voted in the last general election that were able to count ballots and votes, it was important to know that everybody in that building was there for one common goal,
00:40:35.000and that was to validate the election results and seek out and find any vulnerabilities to provide feedback that would enable Maricopa County's election process to get better or to provide findings to the Arizona Senate for them to take the necessary measures to restore confidence in the Arizona voter.
00:40:57.000We had many measures that were implemented to ensure the safety and security of the people within the facility.
00:41:03.000Badging was something that was very important where a person to get into the facility had to present their badge, also a legal ID, and be on a list.
00:41:13.000Another important aspect to this was our COVID protocol that we ensured that we did not have any issues pertaining to COVID.
00:41:22.000And people were required to wear masks while on the floor.
00:41:26.000Any visitors or state delegation personnel that came into the building were also escorted.
00:41:32.000We had first aid stations on hand and we had a reunification site set up in the event we had to evacuate the premise.
00:41:40.000Training was very detailed and extensive.
00:41:44.000Everyone went through an orientation process before they broke out into their specialized training.
00:41:50.000If you went to a counting table, you learned what the spinning process was.
00:41:55.000You actually did a practice tally sheet.
00:41:58.000You learned what the positions were that were involved in processing ballots and taking ballots off.
00:42:05.000What table managers did and what pod managers did.
00:42:09.000If you went into paper examination, you went to a lab where you worked directly with the microscopes and the camera technology in processing the ballots and the importance of making sure that qualitative images were taken while processing those ballots in the paper examination area.
00:42:30.000Buzzwords were often used such as integrity, accountability, chain of custody, beyond reproach, and transparency.
00:42:38.000And this was the culture that was developed for anyone that stepped in this building.
00:42:45.000The floor operations had many different moving parts.
00:42:48.000We had the ballot corrals that stored the ballots and staged the ballots in different ways, from regular storage to staging for paper examination and for staging for further investigation.
00:43:04.000You had paper examination stations that would then take ballots from the box and process them to obtain the images that were necessary through DSLR cameras and four different microscopes that obtained information from each ballot.
00:43:22.000You had aggregation that would then take the results of the counting tables and input that data into the system to ensure that the proper counts were correct during that process.
00:43:36.000Ballots didn't move without three things, people, paper, and observation.
00:43:42.000The people who moved them, the paper trail with the chain of custody that followed it, along with the camera observation that did not at any time allow blocks to not be seen.
00:43:56.000The handling of ballots was also very important.
00:43:59.000Once a ballot box was cut open and the ballots were removed, it was important that we ensured that the ballots were put back the exact same way they were pulled from each of the ballot boxes.
00:44:14.000Our goal was to make sure that Maricopa County received the boxes back with all the artifacts in it along with the order of the ballots the exact same way that we received them.
00:44:26.000I think with all the outcry of concern the election results displayed, it was important for the Arizona Senate to bring in an independent to evaluate the results.
00:44:40.000This was done in a way that was unprecedented, that had never been done before with the detail and the forensic side of the audit.
00:44:50.000But it was also important to be done in a bipartisan effort with the intent to provide feedback to Maricopa County to enable them to get better in their election process or to provide findings to the Arizona Senate to enable them to create measures that would ensure that in the future that the residents of Arizona could have confidence in the election process.
00:45:19.000That just gives a brief overview of really our heart in doing all this.
00:45:24.000We've tried to design everything to implement the biblical concept of beyond reproach so that we would not even have the appearance of evil in anything that we did.
00:45:33.000The amount of live streaming we have there has been unprecedented.
00:45:37.000I do not know of another audit that has had so much transparency and video captured.
00:45:42.000We actually captured with all our data over two petabytes of data.
00:45:47.000For you don't know a thousand terabytes ends up being a petabyte and the vast majority of that was video footage.
00:45:53.000So we have accountability in every action that took place on that floor.
00:45:58.000There's a lot of great American patriots.
00:46:02.000They're part of this process who gave up time away from their businesses, who gave away often putting in leaves of absences where they are to make sure they'd be a part of this.
00:46:13.000I think in total we had over 1,500 people involved in the audit process.
00:46:18.000Of those about 1,100 of them were actually volunteers that they're just doing there to do their patriotic duty to make sure that we have integrity in our election process.
00:46:28.000We had, I think it was over 80,000 hours working hour or man hours of time that was spent in what we did.
00:46:34.000At this stage in time, we have tallied all of the ballots.
00:46:38.000We've done paper examination on all of the ballots and that data is still being worked through.
00:46:44.000The only thing that we have left is we're working through some of the last bits of aggregation to make sure all these numbers are perfect because we totally understand how much focus is on us right now and how important this is to our country and really to our nation.
00:47:00.000And we want to make sure that everything we do is as spot on, as accurate as possible.
00:47:09.000I'd like to interject to something at this time that I wanted actually to say in our opening remarks, just for the record, because we do know that there's been some misinformation out there.
00:47:20.000And we have said from the day one, and I'm glad to see some of my fellow senators here in the audience with us because it is our entire Republican Senate body that wanted to pursue this.
00:47:29.000The important thing that we wanted to make sure everybody knew, which we told you as well in the very beginning, is this is not about Trump.
00:47:38.000This is not about overturning the election.
00:47:40.000This has never been about anything other than election integrity.
00:47:45.000This is the epitome of what America stands for.
00:47:50.000And if we do not have faith and confidence in our electoral process, then everything we do in life is jeopardized.
00:48:00.000There was a poll that was recently done that 45% of people in Arizona, according to that poll, believe that we have serious problems with our elections.
00:48:10.000Whether that is true or not, whether they are rumors, unfound accusations, or legitimate problems for whatever reason, as a Senate body, we felt that it was our obligation and our duty to answer our voters,
00:48:25.000our constituents, answer those questions, and either confirm what they were afraid of or thought or heard, or that we prove that those things were not true so that they could go back to the polls and they could vote with confidence knowing that their ballot is sacred.
00:48:43.000I just wanted to make sure that everybody is fully aware that this is all this is about is an election integrity.
00:48:53.000Have we done everything we possibly can to make sure these are fair, clean, honest elections?
00:49:00.000If we do find anything, not us, but you as a vendor, if you do find anything of whether we can pass laws that would help ensure that we have more integrity in the future, if our procedures perhaps are lacking in some way, this is a great opportunity for us to be able to say, let's fix that, because that's what the Senate body does.
00:49:25.000We have accomplished this because the Constitution gives us the right to subpoena information for the purpose of passing laws.
00:49:33.000And with that information, it gives us the tools to be able to either tweak existing legislation or create new legislation to make sure that the sanctity is always there.
00:49:54.000You have volunteered your time for many, many weeks here, free of charge.
00:49:59.000And with your past experience, it was great to have you step up to the plate and offer to be our Senate liaison, particularly since we were still in session and we could not be there.
00:50:11.000Because of your expertise as being a past Secretary of State of Arizona and a Senate president prior to me, I would like to get your take.
00:50:22.000And we would like to know what happened when the ballots arrived, what was the process you observed, and help us walk through that stage.
00:50:30.000So I'm turning it over to you at this point.
00:50:34.000And I should start probably by thanking others who have assisted me in the liaison process.
00:50:40.000Julie Fisher, Randy Pullen, John Brakey, Brandon Slayton, and probably others have been a tremendous help in overseeing this process and interfacing between the Senate and the audit.
00:50:56.000So, I'll speak primarily to the chain of custody.
00:51:00.000We received the ballots and the equipment on two days, April 202nd of this year.
00:51:08.000The equipment arrived mostly on the 21st, and I think there were a couple pallets that came with the ballots on the 22nd.
00:51:17.000Compliments to Maricopa County, they were very professional in the transfer of the chain of custody from them to us.
00:51:26.000Co-elections director Scott Jarrett was very professional along with several of his staff that helped in that process.
00:51:34.000We received 1,691 boxes of mostly ballots but other items.
00:51:42.000Mr. Jarrett and his staff's help, we worked through every one of those and checked every box.
00:51:47.000We worked through some minor discrepancies that we resolved.
00:51:56.000There were eight boxes present on the pallets that were not on the manifests.
00:52:01.000There were a couple boxes on manifests that were not present.
00:52:06.000I think there were three boxes that were on different pallet numbers than the manifest indicated they were, but we located them on other pallets.
00:52:15.000Of those 1,691 boxes, they arrived on 46 pallets.
00:52:21.000Two of the boxes were data cards, hard drives, fobs, other things that we transferred over to Ben Cotton's group for the data analysis.
00:52:32.000In the process of doing the audit, some personally identifying information was discovered in two boxes, kind of stuffed in with the ballots.
00:52:45.000I think it's the kind of the practice of a county as large as Maricopa, where you have multiple, you know, thousands of boxes.
00:52:56.000They have to make sure that those boxes are filled to the brim so that if that box ends up on the bottom row of a pallet, stacked on top of each other, that they can hold the weight.
00:53:07.000So they kind of build bricks, as one of my assistants kind of calls it, where you make sure that the boxes are full.
00:53:14.000And in a couple of the boxes, we found a variety of counter slips, I think, was the first box that we ran into.
00:53:24.000And the auditors took great care in making sure that no personally identifiable information was compromised.
00:53:31.000So we took personally identifiable information out of two boxes and segregated those in their own two boxes.
00:53:39.000We found personally identifiable information in the spoiled ballot boxes, and that ended up creating 16 new boxes of EII, as we called it, in two of the Braille Yuokava ballots, and even some other ballots.
00:54:03.000I think Doug might talk to that in a little more detail of those.
00:54:07.000So we separated those, and that created two more boxes.
00:54:13.000And then eventually, Cipher, after going through the equipment, returned the two data boxes that they had.
00:54:20.000So we went from 1,691 boxes at the beginning, 1,711 boxes on 47 pallets.
00:54:29.000As far as the equipment, we received the nine volume scanner machines, four called HIPROS and five Cannons, 20 adjudication stations, four EMS workstations, and the EMS server, along with some other miscellaneous equipment.
00:55:09.000Those were on 24 pallets, well, not pallets, I guess you would call them racks or rolling carts.
00:55:19.000And so we identified each and every one of those by serial number.
00:55:26.000The nine high volume machine station, the 20 adjudication stations, the four EMS workstations, and the EMS server, Mr. Cotton's company collected the forensic data off those, and he'll speak to how they did that to make sure that Mr. Benner, if I could just interject, could you tell everybody what EMS is?
00:55:54.000Ben will speak to how they collected that data using equipment that could read only and do no damage to the original evidence that the copies were made from.
00:56:07.000But the high-volume machines, the adjudication stations, the election management system workstations and servers were returned.
00:56:14.000So we had the equipment about nine days, or at least those pieces of equipment.
00:56:21.000We would have returned the other 385 precinct tabulators, but I think Ben will speak to that as well.
00:56:27.000We still do have the precinct tabulators.
00:56:30.000Both the equipment and the ballots were in locked cages during the entire time that we have possessed the ballots and equipment with limited access.
00:56:41.000I think most of the time there are probably maybe two people that had keys to the ballot corrals we call them.
00:56:53.000We also had 24-hour guarded armed security both inside and outside of the building.
00:56:59.000We had 24-7 live stream on the ballots and the equipment during the entire time that they've been in our possession.
00:57:07.000Doug spoke earlier that that's a very significant part of the two petabytes or whatever you said was of data that we have collected.
00:57:17.000While we have had the machines and the ballots in our custody, we have continuous and complete chain of custody on every box and every machine.
00:57:30.000Even and especially during the time when we had to move over to the Wesley Boland building and store the ballots and machines while the Coliseum was used for the high school graduations, the return back to the Coliseum, and now we're back at the Wesley Boland.
00:57:47.000But during all that process, we have had continuous and complete chain of custody while everything has been in our possession.
00:57:54.000It was shown on the video that every time a box moved somewhere on the floor, it was signed out by somebody in the corral to somebody who took it to a table.
00:58:05.000It was received at that table by signature.
00:58:07.000So every time a box moved, two people signed for it and then the reverse when it was returned.
00:58:16.000And just kind of for your information, when we returned these boxes, most of what we received were boxes sealed with regular packing tape.
00:58:28.000I think there were 52 boxes that were used in the hand count audit by Maricopa County that were sealed with tamper evident tape, but the other 1,600 and some odd boxes were just sealed with regular packing tape.
00:58:41.000It's our intent and commitment that when we return everything to Maricopa County that we will reseal the boxes and as the video stated, we've gone to great lengths to make sure that the same ballots that were in the boxes when we received them are in the same boxes when we return them.
00:59:00.000And I think in the same order that we found them.
00:59:04.000When we close these boxes in the next few weeks and return them to Maricopa County, we will do so with tamper evident tape to seal the boxes and then a numbered seal across the top opening that will be recorded with each box so that there's a tamper evident tape and a numbered seal that will be on every box that we return.
00:59:30.000And I think that speaks primarily to the chain of custody.
00:59:37.000At some point when we talk about things that maybe we ought to be considering as far as statutory changes or improvements, I can talk about some of the things that the election procedures manual of the state of Arizona and our state statutes require as far as the storage and security of ballots.
01:00:00.000Since we're on the subject of chain of custody and storage?
01:00:04.000Well, one of the things that we subpoena that has not been provided is the chain of custody that should have been created when ballots were received by Maricopa County and while they were going through the process of the election.
01:00:20.000If you go to Chapter 8, I think it's V 5, Roman Numeral 5, Subsection E, Storage and Security of Ballots, it reads that official ballots must be inventoried upon receipt and prior to distribution to voting locations.
01:00:42.000Item 3, well, item 2 is they must be accessed by election staff only to the extent necessary to perform their authorized task.
01:00:49.000A key one though is third, they must be stored in locked, secured location that prevents unauthorized access as we have done.
01:00:56.000And in that number three it says it must be documented with a written log or with electronic keypad access that indicates the date, time, and identity of the person accessing the ballots.
01:01:07.000Fourth, must be witnessed by two or more election staff members of different political parties if possible when being moved or transferred, which includes an inventory of the ballots before and after the move or transfer.
01:01:19.000And then the last item is very important as well since we use ballot on demand printers in many of the counties around Arizona that the officer in charge of elections shall also implement reasonable security procedures for auditing and accountability of blank ballot stock for use with on-demand printers.
01:01:38.000So part of what we have been trying to get in addition to the ballots themselves is a chain of custody from the very beginning of the process when the county took ballot stock and or pre-printed ballots from their vendors and a chain of custody ever since then which is still forthcoming.
01:02:00.000That was on the original subpoena and we have not received it.
01:02:04.000Madam President, just if I may, Mr. Bennett, what's been the response when you've asked for that?
01:02:18.000So are you saying they're refusing to give us that information at this point?
01:02:24.000They every time I've tried to interact with the folks at the Elections Department, I've been told that I need to deal with the county attorney's office.
01:02:34.000And most of that time I've received kind of the answer that we gave you everything we're going to give you.
01:02:44.000I'm trying not to be flippant, but that's.
01:02:50.000As the past Secretary of State, I know you're familiar with the handling of ballots.
01:02:54.000I know that a couple months ago, Senator Peterson and I had our first update briefing, and there were some things mentioned about bags that are sealed at some point and apparently unsealed at some point.
01:03:09.000There were boxes that you opened and there were broken seals at the bottom.
01:03:12.000Could you explain, to the best of your ability, how are ballots supposed to be handled and treated from when they're at the voting centers or at the polling stations and when you receive those ballots and you open those boxes, what did you find?
01:03:29.000Could you walk us through what we should be looking for?
01:03:33.000Well, in many of the boxes, we found pretty much very little existence of any ballot batch sheets that would describe how many ballots should be found in their batches.
01:03:51.000Maricopa County processed the election in 2,341, excuse me, 10,341 batches.
01:03:58.000Most of their batches were right around 200, but they had 20-some batches that were one ballot per batch, and they had other batches of ballots, mostly from the voting centers, that were around 1,000 in a batch.
01:04:18.000Some of the boxes, you would see a batch number on the outside of the box identifying it as Election Day, so it came from a polling location.
01:04:27.000And if there was just one number, then you would infer from that that there's only one batch in there, and it was a large batch from a voting location.
01:04:36.000As ballots are processed at the voting locations, I think Maricopa had 171, I believe, voting centers.
01:04:47.000When those are processed, they're bagged and locked in sealed bags and sent down to the central county location.
01:04:56.000They are opened again there, and when they are put in the boxes, we found some of the cut seals and things like that.
01:05:02.000So the fact that we found some cut seals was probably it was easier to throw them in the bottom of the box than throw them in the trash can somewhere, and it doesn't speak to anything violative of state law or election procedures manual, but that apparently is the way that some of the people disposed of the of the seals.
01:05:22.000It came from the bags at the voting centers.
01:05:25.000The ballots that are handled at the central count, which is the vast majority of the ballots in Maricopa County's situation.
01:05:34.000Of the 2.1 million or actually 2,089,563 ballots that were processed, approximately 1.9 million were processed through the mail and therefore at central locations, and about a hundred and sixty eight thousand ballots were processed at the other, at the 171 polling locations.
01:05:59.000When, when those ballots are put in those boxes in some cases we found pink sheets, we and they Maricopa County called them.
01:06:11.000That would say below this pink sheet there should be 200 ballots, but two were taken to duplication and so there should be 198.
01:06:20.000As was reported earlier, and I think Doug may speak to it again, there were some discrepancy or quite a few discrepancies found, but it was later discovered that the county has blue sheets that are used at a different point in the process to identify a time in their process where ballots are again sent to duplication and so the blue sheets explain that the pink sheets would go from 200 to minus 2 to 198.
01:06:49.000A blue sheet might get you from 198 to.
01:06:52.000We sent another six or seven to duplication so the the number would change again.
01:06:57.000But, mr Bennett, to that point, what uh?
01:07:05.000We were not given the blue sheets by Maricopa County but we were able to get the blue sheets through uh, one of the assistant liaisons organizations, Audit USA out of Tucson, who requested by public records request the blue sheets and then provided those to the audit and I think they've been helpful.
01:07:27.000Doug may speak to that a little further.
01:07:29.000As to explaining some of the discrepancies that are not entirely explained by the pink sheets that we sometimes found in the box, sometimes we would open a box and all the pink sheets would be stuffed down the side vertically and you really at that point had no idea of where you would insert those pink sheets in between batches of ballots to account for the sum of the ballots in the box.
01:07:55.000I think a lot of this may stem from standard procedure where we've not done many audits and most counties have put things in boxes knowing that they're going to be sealed up, put on pallets shrink-wrapped, and put in a warehouse for 22 months and then destroyed, and usually nothing nothing or nobody's ever being looked at or looking at them.
01:08:20.000In this case, I think we we have discovered that we could probably use a little beefing up in our election procedures, manual and or state statutes as to how things are documented and stored in an organized, consistent fashion in boxes in case other audits are done in the future.
01:08:45.000I can find no election procedures manual manual, directives or state law that says you have to put them in the boxes in this specific way, but that may be something that we need to look at.
01:08:59.000Anything else that you want to add at this point?
01:09:10.000Yeah, the only other thing I guess that I was personally involved in on a couple of occasions not the only other thing, but an other thing that I was called to one of the counting tables is when we started opening duplicate ballots.
01:09:28.000There was almost one whole pallet of Ballots that were called original/slash, damaged ballots, sent to duplication, and then there was quite a few boxes, mostly on one pallet, but scattered amongst three or four other pallets where the duplicates were supposedly there for the duplicates that were sent to duplication.
01:09:47.000So, if a ballot gets damaged and has to be sent to duplication, there is a very specific process in the election procedures manual, chapter 10, Roman numeral 2, section 3, procedures for duplicating a ballot.
01:10:03.000This stems precisely from ARS 16621A, which says that they are to record an identical serial number on both the original and duplicate ballot, including spoiled duplicates.
01:10:15.000This ties the ballots together and creates a paper trail as required by the statute ARS 16621A.
01:10:22.000We found, I would have to say, thousands of duplicate ballots where those serial numbers are not on them.
01:10:35.000And so, it has created great difficulty to try to match up a duplicated ballot to its duplicate.
01:10:45.000And on thousands of the ones that a serial number was put on, they were put on by a, I guess you would call it like a dot matrix printer, very, very light.
01:10:58.000And unfortunately, they ended up being printed on the ballot on the top, usually top right part of the ballot, where the black square alignment marks are on the ballot.
01:11:11.000And so, if a very light gray number is printed on little black boxes that are a quarter of an inch apart, you see one number and you miss the next, and you see the number and you miss two.
01:11:25.000And it made for some very difficult matching of duplicated ballots and their duplicates, which, as I just read to you, one of the most important things you need to do when you duplicate ballots is reflect a serial number on both the duplicate and the duplicated so that you can do two main things: one, make sure you have one for every one of the other, and two,
01:11:49.000make sure that you can look at the votes reflected on the duplicated ballot and make sure that they reflected those correctly from the ballot that was damaged and was duplicated.
01:12:01.000So, without those serial numbers, it gets very difficult.
01:12:05.000We found some nice bright red serial numbers on many, but some very difficult to deal with light black numbers on many others and none whatsoever on many others.
01:12:18.000If the corresponding numbers aren't on there, how would you know whether it was duplicated once or ten times?
01:12:27.000Unless you meticulously kept track of the total number in each group, which I think Doug's organization has done to see if the totals match at least.
01:12:40.000You said that when we return these ballots, I am hoping that you guys will help make sure that they are given to the Arizona County Treasurer.
01:12:51.000It's my understanding that it's my understanding that our statutes say that they're supposed to be turned over to the treasurer at a certain point, and they were not.
01:13:11.000When we return those, you mentioned that you were going to put tamper evidence tape with a numbered seal on that.
01:13:19.000You also mentioned that everything you have done you have put back in order and you mentioned everything was has been filmed with all of these petabytes of stuff.
01:13:30.000So if anybody opens those boxes, we will know that somebody has opened those boxes.
01:13:37.000And everything that you have just said, and if anybody needs to see that themselves, upon court order or whatever, we will be able to not only view that on film, video, but we could also go to the physical evidence and break that seal, hopefully under court order, and go directly to exactly where you have said this has happened.
01:14:09.000Yeah, Madam President, I'd like to jump into the cybersecurity, the digital evidence, if I may, if that's okay with you.
01:14:21.000Mr. Cotton, what so far has been completed for the digital forensics portion of the audit?
01:14:32.000So we have completed the forensics acquisition of all of the items that Mr. Bennett just mentioned that were provided to us by the county.
01:14:40.000And I'd like to take a moment to walk through that process a bit to help everyone understand the forensics fidelity and the standard of care that we took to ensure that there were zero, and I repeat, zero changes to any of the original media or devices.
01:15:01.000So as part of the imaging process, first of all, chain of custody is extremely important as we previously discussed with the ballots.
01:15:12.000That standard of care also was transferred into the digital imaging and preservation of that data.
01:15:20.000So upon receiving each of these digital devices, we filled out an evidence acquisition form that started the initial chain of custody for the acquisition within the digital forensics and analysis piece of this audit.
01:15:39.000On that form, we carefully recorded all of the serial numbers.
01:15:43.000We then leveraged what is known in the industry as a write-block device.
01:15:49.000Now, a write-block device is used, and as a matter of fact...
01:16:00.000And the sole purpose of this device is to prevent any modification of the original evidence that is plugged into it.
01:16:11.000This is accepted within our judicial system as the methodology needed to be utilized for anything to be admitted into court and to maintain that standard of care for the digital forensics chain of custody.
01:16:27.000As part of that acquisition, we then took a bit-for-bit copy, forensics copy, of each of the digital devices.
01:16:37.000At the end of that copy, we applied what is known as a MD5, a Machine Digest 5 hash value to that acquisition.
01:16:50.000Now, when you think about that, it is a digital fingerprint of that evidence that we just acquired.
01:16:57.000If anyone changes even one bit of data within that evidence file, it will totally invalidate the MD5 and create a totally new signature on that particular piece of evidence.
01:17:12.000So for every device that Mr. Bennett mentioned that we imaged, we performed that exact process.
01:17:19.000We know who imaged it, we know when they imaged it, we know where it was imaged to, and that is a controlled item within our evidence and chain of custody handling procedure.
01:17:31.000We then took those digital copies and we maintained one of those digital copies as primary evidence.
01:17:41.000And so we locked that away in a U.S. government GSA approved safe to ensure that no one would access it and that it is there as the primary evidence for the basis of our analysis.
01:17:55.000We then created examination copies that we have used for the determination of the cybersecurity status and other aspects of those systems.
01:18:10.000So I must reiterate, not a single bit of data was ever changed on any device that came into our possession.
01:18:21.000So Madam President, Mr. Cotton, are you saying that the machines were not damaged or tampered with in any way where they couldn't be used again?
01:18:37.000And if they were, you have implemented the people could check and see whether that was done.
01:18:49.000So we have exactly a bit-for-bit image of these systems as we received them.
01:18:58.000We did not modify, we did not change any chips, we did not access anything other than the hard drives for those systems.
01:19:09.000So if there were any changes to the original equipment, those had to have occurred within the custody of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, not with the custody of the auditors.
01:19:32.000Well, we're trying to keep this official.
01:19:34.000Mr. Cotton, recently in the news, I don't know if you have heard or not, but our Secretary of State, Katie Hobbs, made a statement a few weeks ago that she would not allow these machines to be used again because she could not verify that we had not, you, not us, you had tampered with them.
01:19:57.000I don't understand the election goes on to make sure that those machines haven't been tampered with, that they are calibrated correctly, and I believe they do that also after an election.
01:20:14.000How can the Secretary of State say that she can't certify the machines weren't tampered with when supposedly we have people that certified people that come in to certify machines aren't tampered with?
01:20:31.000Madam President, I certainly understand your confusion and I share that with you.
01:20:36.000I'd like to also reiterate that as part of our evidence handling procedure, we had cameras watching over our evidence storage facilities and our acquisition and replication procedures 24-7.
01:20:54.000So any form of tampering certainly would have been caught on video.
01:20:59.000However, we did not do anything of the sort that would have interfered with any of the machine configurations or any of the allegated tampering that the Secretary of State has alleged.
01:21:20.000Madam President, if I may, just this is more of just, I think, a comment or a statement along with your concern here.
01:21:29.000And I think this could be something we need to look at legislatively.
01:21:34.000If we have a process, and from what I've heard, it's about $8,000.
01:21:39.000You know, the county did an audit for $8,000 or $20,000, whatever it was, to certify and make sure that machines were not tampered with.
01:21:49.000And this is also part of a process before an election.
01:21:52.000If that process doesn't work, then, and we're saying that is not valid because somebody doing an audit ruins that and you can't recertify it.
01:22:06.000It sounds like that we need to have something else.
01:22:11.000There needs to be another process that works.
01:22:15.000That you truly, maybe it's the truly certification and verification that machines have not been tampered with process.
