00:00:26.000Hey everybody, this is Andrew Colvett, producer Andrew, otherwise known as I got the honor to fill in for Charlie today and had a fantastic conversation with Tyler Boyer, who is the COO of Turning Point USA.
00:00:38.000He's also deeply involved in Arizona politics.
00:00:41.000We had a conversation today with everything you need to know about the updates on the Maricopa audit.
00:00:49.000You are not going to want to miss this.
00:00:51.000It's very interesting, everything that's going on.
00:00:53.000Lots of rumors, lots of pieces of information that are flying at you every direction, including the DOJ get involved.
00:01:17.000His 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.
00:01:26.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:02:48.000We have a Maricopa Audit, the America's audit report, exclusive right here on the Charlie Kirk show with none other than Tyler Bowyer, COO of Turning Point USA.
00:04:13.000But we essentially, what's been happening now is that over at the Coliseum, they have outlined the audit process, which is essentially just executing a hand count procedure, right?
00:04:24.000Which this is all, most of these procedures are already in the elections procedures manual that was approved by the Secretary of State.
00:04:31.000There were some iffy things in there, and we don't believe that a hand count was really, I don't believe a hand count was properly executed by state law, which says that it has to be done by precinct.
00:04:43.000And so the law state law only calls for 2% to be done, but it's a minimum of 2%.
00:04:49.000It can really be a maximum of as much as you want.
00:04:51.000So the audit that's being conducted really isn't that far outside of what could have been done, which is a hand count procedure, matching and verifying the actual physical ballots to the data that's in the voting machines to make sure that those match up.
00:05:17.000Yeah, they're looking for things that, you know, one of the issues is creasing or the marking of the ballots or post, you know, after the fact marking of the ballots, if there's weirdness with that.
00:05:30.000They're looking for any irregularities, right?
00:05:31.000Anything that's irregular that looks like anything's been tampered with.
00:05:46.000They're looking for things outside of, I think, bamboo.
00:05:49.000Like they're calling it the bamboo conspiracy because they're looking for bamboo fibers, quote unquote, I'm air quoting bamboo fibers because there was a suggestion that ballots were flown in from overseas.
00:06:01.000Look, they're looking for, I'm sure, lots of different fibers.
00:06:05.000They're looking for lots of different types of materials to identify that there was any tampering that happened with the ballots.
00:06:11.000And realistically, this isn't like something where they're like going in.
00:06:14.000Most of the time that's being spent right now is they're verifying the votes in a hand count procedure that's outlined in the elections procedures manual.
00:06:21.000So they would love, they would love for you to believe that this is like some weirdo like thing.
00:06:37.000Outlines this bamboo conspiracy and this is thousands of ballots are left unattended and unsecured.
00:06:42.000People with open partisan bias, including a man who was photographed on the Capitol steps during the January 6th riot, are doing the recounting.
00:06:48.000All of these issues with the Republican-backed reexamination of the November election results from Arizona's most populous county were laid out this week by Katie Hobbs, Arizona Democratic Secretary of State, in a scathing six-place page letter.
00:07:02.000Okay, so we understand that this Hobbs person is upset that the audit is happening.
00:07:09.000We're starting to see the Brennan Center, even the DOJ, it was reported this week, is getting potentially involved.
00:07:17.000And I saw a tweet from the Arizona GOP saying that the DOJ has no place here, right?
00:07:24.000Fill us in on what's going on with the DOJ.
00:07:26.000Yeah, I mean, look, I think the position isn't just of the Republican Party here, but the position of the Arizona Senate and the guys that are conducting the audit is that the DOJ really has no oversight, authority, or right to come in and say or do anything, right?
00:07:43.000They can, similar to elections, the DOJ sometimes will send elections officials to monitor things to make sure that rights aren't being violated.
00:07:55.000The heartbreaking thing, I think, for Democrats and for the Biden administration in this situation is that there are no rights being violated, right?
00:08:03.000So, a judge actually, the judge actually just issued this release that just came out, which was saying, you know, the Democrats were saying, oh, there's monumental changes in the media.
00:08:29.000CNN and MSNBC are not getting involved, right?
00:08:32.000It's so in their world, they don't think anybody's observing.
00:08:36.000It's so boring that nobody wants to cover it because it's literally just following a handcount procedure, which, again, the county could have done from the very beginning.
00:08:46.000Okay, so the other thing that I've seen that's interesting is that there's, you know, the much talked about Dominion voting systems, right?
00:08:58.000I'm hearing rumors that they are missing a password.
00:09:16.000What was said this week, so former Secretary of State Ken Bennett, who is the chairman of the audit process here, and he's doing a tremendous job.
00:09:58.000And listen, we're not being conspiratorial here, folks.
00:10:00.000We're just, I'm just reporting what we're hearing.
00:10:02.000And this is, this is chatter happening.
00:10:04.000And by the way, these machines, if you're going to do an actual forensic audit, are necessary to get the data off of, correct?
00:10:11.000So I think that the feeling here is that, and this is the proper feeling, and I think that people are getting that it's probably wrong if we're relying on a third party.
00:10:19.000It doesn't matter who the third party is.
00:10:22.000If you're relying on a third party to have any access to the voter data in any way, shape, or form, that's putting all your faith and trust into somebody that's not a government entity, that's not an elected official.
00:10:37.000That's a risky proposition, no matter how good of a person that potentially could be.
00:10:41.000And so I think the issue that exists today and looking at that, what we found out this week, and I'm really interested to see what the full report says, is that, hey, we have a real problem if the voting company, voting machine company, is the only one that had access or the secondary password to any software, hardware, anything like that, that's going to raise some real red flags and issues.
00:11:03.000And that alone makes the audit worth it, just finding that information out.
00:11:22.000Charlie Kirk here, and I've warned you about home title theft, where cyber thieves remove you from your homes title and you become the owner.
00:11:30.000Like I said, you better get home title lock because it's coming.
00:11:33.000Well, if you are on Facebook, that big data breach is here.
00:11:38.000Facebook has 500 million accounts that were exposed to cyber thieves.
00:11:41.000And according to a retired FBI cyber crime expert, everything thieves need to take over as the new owner of your home was leaked.
00:11:47.000Name, address, personal information, and more, it's out there.
00:11:50.000The thief forges your signature on a quick claim deed stating you sold your home to him.
00:11:53.000He'll leave you in debt or even have you evicted.
00:11:55.000Do what I did and protect your homes title at home title lock.com.
00:11:58.000Go to hometitalock.com and register your address, see if you're already a victim.
00:12:01.000Then sign up for 30 free days of protection during this high-risk breach.
00:12:04.000Again, go to home title lock.com, promo code radio.
00:12:07.000That's home title lock.com, promo code radio.
00:12:55.000There is another issue with this audit being raised about signatures and signature verification.
00:13:00.000So do you want to fill us in on what's going on there?
00:13:03.000Yeah, so the headline that came out was that this lawsuit that was filed by the Arizona Democratic Party, the Democrat Party, had halted all signature verification and the process.
00:13:18.000Yeah, I remember seeing this and going like, oh, gosh, that's the whole point, right?
00:14:58.000They still would verify signatures of when people came in and signed up, but I don't think there's as much of a concern there.
00:15:03.000The concern, I think, and the predominant part of what this is is matching that the physical ballots actually match up with the voter data.
00:15:15.000So, but the judge just said that you can't, right?
00:15:17.000This is the state Democrats here in Arizona.
00:15:19.000There was a quote-unquote settlement that was finalized.
00:15:22.000The settlement actually, you know, the statement that was put out by the auditing team was, yeah, all these points in the settlement really changed nothing.
00:15:30.000And so I can take you through point by point, which is that the settlement that came through, this is what they said, was the settlement of the audit allows the Secretary of State's office to have observers.
00:15:41.000The Secretary of State was never requested to have observers prior to that.
00:15:45.000Cyber Ninjas, which is the audit team, never objected to observers.
00:15:51.000That was a big point of it, which the point of contention was that the Secretary of State could have observers.
00:15:57.000And their point was, well, she never asked for them.
00:16:00.000We just watched her running away from questions because they didn't want to answer the questions, which is like, hey, are you really being honest about your position on everything?
00:16:11.000Well, and what we talked about in the break, which I think is fascinating for a lot of people, is I saw this report and I thought, oh, no, we can't.
00:16:38.000So basically, nothing changes with that.
00:16:41.000So folks, rest assured that they are capturing data, that verification is happening, and that the audit is going to actually yield something that we can trust.
00:16:54.000What we need is to move forward, verify the actual physical balance to the data.
00:17:01.000All this other talk that's surrounding this is distraction from that because once they get that, then they're going to be able to move forward and provide the results and then move forward with what law should look like.
00:17:11.000Everybody, thank you to Tyler Bowyer for the update here in Arizona.
00:17:20.000If you want to support the show, guys like me, guys like producer Connor, we have a whole other team of researchers, Mr. Gordon, Mr. Farnsworth.
00:17:30.000We actually have a couple of Farnsworths back there.
