00:01:19.000His 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.
00:01:27.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:41.000Something happened over the weekend that I think is newsworthy.
00:01:44.000There's been a lot of talk about social media censorship and these tech companies going after opinions and people that they do not like.
00:01:52.000As I am speaking to you right now, I am locked out of Twitter.
00:01:58.000I do not have access to my Twitter account.
00:02:01.000So over the weekend, our team was going through some tweet ideas and we saw this story that was originally from ProPublica about the Pennsylvania's rejection of mail and ballots.
00:02:14.000It was rewritten by many other reputable news agencies.
00:02:19.000And in the title, it said, Pennsylvania rejected 320,000 ballots.
00:02:24.000So we just took the essence of the story.
00:02:27.000It was widely reported and tweeted it out.
00:02:30.00019 hours later, it turned out that the story added the word applications to it.
00:02:35.000Now, mind you, at the time we were tweeting it, it was absolutely and completely what was the drumbeat of the media coverage.
00:02:48.000We were not having the intention to try and deceive or to try to interfere in an election.
00:02:54.000And so then Twitter basically comes to us last evening in a pseudo-hostage situation.
00:03:01.000I said this on Steve Hilton's show last night.
00:03:03.000It went somewhat viral, where they said either you're going to delete this tweet, and until you make a decision on that, you are not allowed access to any of your 1.8 million followers on Twitter.
00:03:19.000And so we kind of took a timeout and a pause as we were in Nakatomi Plaza, basically, in some sort of a die-hard scene where they are holding us hostage, saying that if you do not bend the knee and you admit guilt, then you don't get access back to your Twitter account.
00:03:38.000Now, mind you, it's a lot more nuanced than that, though, because as soon as you admit the guilt, you're basically put into a proverbial Twitter jailbox.
00:03:56.000You are less likely to be able to grow a following count.
00:04:00.000We experienced this back in the spring when we had a tweet regarding hydroxychloroquine.
00:04:06.000And then for months, we were in proverbial Twitter jail.
00:04:11.000Before that tweet, we were adding about 4,000 to 5,000 followers a day.
00:04:15.000After that, we were adding 40 followers a day.
00:04:18.000We finally have started to break out of that in the last couple months, adding about a couple thousand followers a day.
00:04:24.000And then we tweet out what many of the sources were saying.
00:04:27.000But again, we were not trying to mislead, we are not taking a news story to try and misrepresent a position.
00:04:38.000And now we are seeing these humongous, gigantic, and all-encompassing tech companies use their power, use their monopoly to silence opinions that they do not agree with.
00:04:54.000They are using their power to go after personalities and people that they don't like.
00:05:01.000So if Twitter was really interested in taking down misinformation and disinformation, why is it there is still a tweet up about me on Twitter posing with this poor young man in Idaho, where they were insinuating that I was trying to be involved in the kidnapping of the Michigan governor.
00:05:37.000So those people still have access to their Twitter accounts where they insinuate that I'm connected to the person that tried to kidnap the Michigan governor, Gretchen Whitmer.
00:05:50.000However, I tweet out a story that was literally the headline, widespread reporting, and Twitter says, Now we got you.
00:06:06.000You're going to provide to us what we want, which is an admission of guilt and strikes against you.
00:06:14.000And so, all of you that are listening to this and watching this on some of these tech company platforms, what is it going to take for you to demand that these tech companies respect freedom of speech, civil rights, if not be broken up?
00:06:29.000Because we have now reached a level where the First Amendment of the Constitution is no longer predominantly under the jurisdiction of the federal government or the state government.
00:06:46.000For the first time in our nation's history, the federal government does not have the capacity through the courts to be able to make sure that your free speech rights are protected.
00:07:01.000So, for example, in the 1960s, if I wanted to plan a massive march or protest in Washington, D.C., the government would have to honor that.
00:07:14.000However, different today than the 1960s, that is no longer the most effective way to communicate, to persuade, or to convince.
00:07:25.000Instead, in the digital and social era, it requires access to these digital platforms.
00:07:34.000If you do not have access to your digital platforms, as I do not have right now, being locked out of my Twitter account with 1.8 million Twitter followers, where these companies have donated well over 90 to 95% to Democrats and Joe Biden, are we really dealing with private companies or are we dealing with pseudo-governments?
00:07:55.000And this all comes right after Twitter decided not to allow direct messages or sharing of the Hunter Biden email story, laptop story.
00:08:09.000Twitter deactivated Kaylee McEnaney's account, deactivated the Trump campaign account, Team Trump account.
00:08:16.000Twitter did not even allow you to privately message it or direct message that article from the New York Post, which is the fourth most read newspaper in the country.
00:08:32.000And so these tech companies have now embarked on the greatest act of election interference in the digital era, if not in American history.
00:08:45.000All throughout 2016 and the years that followed, we tore our country apart through a sham Mueller investigation all about Russian interference into our election, all about foreign interference in our election.
00:09:01.000Dozens of people were indicted and went to jail.
00:09:04.000Not because they did this, but because they were caught up in the investigations surrounding this.
00:09:12.000It became a predominant view of the Democrats because the underlying issue they always told us was that the integrity of our elections are so important, fair and free elections.
00:09:27.000Of course, they use that as a distraction point to try to justify giving themselves power, such as winning back the House of Representatives in 2018.
00:09:38.000They actually don't care when elections are interfered when it helps them.
00:09:44.000You see, the Democrats are leaning on these massive tech companies to win the election for them.
00:09:51.000And there is a bargain between the two of them.
00:09:53.000If the Democrats get back in power, they will not break up these companies.
00:09:57.000If the Democrats get back in power, they will protect corporatist crony interests.
00:10:04.000And the tech companies, in exchange, will run cover fire, throw smokescreen, and interrupt the flow of information that could be politically compromising to Joe Biden or the Democrats.
00:10:21.000And one by one, they want to deactivate and hold hostage the voices that they do not like.
00:10:27.000So Twitter has given us a false choice for me to go back on Twitter.
00:10:31.000They say that I have to delete the tweet, bend the knee, and admit guilt, and then I can get access back to my 1.85 million followers.
00:10:44.000They should not have that kind of power.
00:10:47.000They should not have the kind of authority to dictate not just what I can say, but whether or not my audience is able to hear from me or not.
00:11:00.000I want to tell you guys about Good Ranchers.
00:12:01.000I found the word on the journalist Slack channel that they decided would best describe a story that they do not want to cover.
00:12:09.000I actually haven't used this word in quite some time, so I wanted to make sure my definition was completely correct, and it was, which is dubious, which means hesitating or doubting.
00:12:18.000The front page of the Business Insider, New York Post's dubious Hunter Biden article was shared 300 times, CNN, the Atomy of the New York Post, dubious Hunter Biden story.
00:12:29.000Washington Post, how Twitter and Facebook attempted to scratch a dubious Biden story backfired.
00:12:44.000I don't think they've ever used the word dubious this much in this coordinated fashion.
00:12:49.000I mean, what are the chances of the Washington Post, CNN, and Business Insider all using the same word in the title around the same story that they don't want to cover within the same news cycle?
00:13:39.000Well, we know that this whole smear on Joe Biden comes from the Kremlin.
00:13:45.000That's been clear for well over a year now that they've been pushing this false narrative about the vice president and his son.
00:13:52.000And, you know, the idea that the president, that the White House council and others were made aware that Giuliani was being used by Russian intelligence and using Russian intelligence.
00:14:06.000There is zero evidence whatsoever to support what Adam Schiff is saying.
00:14:11.000Look, Russian fear-mongering is great business.
00:14:14.000It's really good business when your sons, your family members sit on Ukrainian boards.
00:14:20.000So the more that you fear monger against Russia, the more it justifies giving foreign aid to Ukraine.
00:14:25.000And then that foreign aid finds its way to big natural gas companies.
00:14:28.000And then people like John Kerry and people like Joe Biden are able to get peripheral financial enumeration when you fear monger against Russia.
00:14:39.000This is one of the most disappointing moments in American journalistic history.
00:14:54.000At the very least, it's not just poll watching and it's not just a horse race.
00:15:01.000At the very least, like, oh, there might be a laptop out there that contains Hunter Biden's sensitive emails, photographs, and business dealings.
00:15:53.000But let's go a level further, a level deeper.
00:15:57.000Why would the New York Post publish this, stand by their reporting, and really dig in if they had any reason to believe that this wasn't true?
00:16:09.000Do you know the biggest difference between the New York Post and the New York Times?
00:16:12.000The New York Post is actually releasing these emails they're reporting on.
00:16:16.000Unlike the New York Times when they reported on the tax returns, they never actually reported the tax returns.
00:16:25.000They just said, well, trust us, we're going to detail them for you in long 600,000 word narrative form.
00:16:36.000And now we have actual communications from Hunter Biden talking about how his father has been cutting on these deals, about the secret meetings that he had at the State Department as probably an unregistered foreign agent.
00:16:52.000And I have a very, very simple question.
00:16:57.000Why didn't the Federal Bureau of Investigation do something about this as soon as they got these emails?
00:17:04.000I think it's really instructive and very important to walk through the timeline of all these emails, the laptop, how they got there, and the absolute outright fraud that Adam Schiff is trying to sow more seeds saying it's Russian disinformation.
00:17:24.000Getting in shape doesn't have to be about losing a specific amount of weight or a magic number on the scale.
00:17:29.000It's about building healthier habits and feeling better about yourself.
00:17:37.000They do physical, psychological, and social movements to make you a better person.
00:17:44.000Specific lessons you learned about psychology or habits, the ease of just 10 minutes a day, the tone of your program or anything you loved.
00:17:50.000It is so easy to log your food and it's also very flexible.
00:18:22.000We're starting to hear more and more about the Hunter Biden email saga.
00:18:26.000When Joe Biden was asked about it, he basically said that you're a fraud and you're a phony and does not answer any of those questions.
00:18:35.000And the Joe Biden campaign has not denied the authenticity of these emails.
00:18:42.000And despite that, the activist media is trying to say that they're not corroborated and they're dubious.
00:18:50.000If Joe Biden and his campaign have not denied the authenticity of these emails and of the laptop, then why should the activist media do that for them?
00:19:03.000Well, let's go a little back in time to the timeline.
00:19:20.000And Hunter Biden walks in and drops off three water-damaged MacBooks.
00:19:26.000Isaac claims to have found very sexually explicit images on one of the laptops.
00:19:33.000Isaac told the Post, this is from Foxnews.com, he extracted a 12-minute video appearing to show Hunter smoking an illicit drug and engaging in some, let's say, unspeakable things on camera.
00:19:45.000Isaac is a registered Republican and he repairs computers.
00:19:50.000Now, timeout: Hunter Biden dropping off three water-damaged computers at a computer repair shop in Wilmington, Delaware, while your father is running for the presidency.
00:20:03.000They'll make you do things that are very foolish.
00:20:07.00090 days afterwards, the owner of the laptop, which is Hunter, did not come and retrieve the laptop.
00:20:15.000Meanwhile, as you might remember, in June and July, impeachment talk started to ramp up.
00:20:23.000And so maybe that's why Hunter Biden forgot about these emails.
00:20:28.000Maybe Hunter Biden forgot about this laptop because he all of a sudden became front-page news during the impeachment talks around Ukraine and President Zelensky.
00:20:41.000Is it possible to conjecture that as the Democrats were trying to pursue their lust for revenge against Donald Trump and impeach the president, that it unintentionally created so much confusion in the simple mind of Hunter and Joe Biden that they forgot that they dropped off three laptops in Wilmington, Delaware?
00:21:03.000Is that why they abandoned these laptops?
00:21:06.000Because remember, Hunter Biden was brought out in front of the country and he did some sort of ABC News interview.
00:21:14.000Yeah, Savannah Guthrie asked the tough question.
00:21:16.000Someone from ABC also did a whole thing there.
00:21:19.000So then Isaac allegedly then started to look through the emails because after 90 days, it becomes abandoned property.
00:21:28.000He looks through the emails and he starts to find that there were a lot of keywords around Burisma, Hunter, Vadim, Posariski, and some of the emails that have now been made public about how Joe Biden and Hunter Biden were working together to sell out our government.
00:21:51.000And so in September of 2019, Isaac, the computer store repair owner, claims he contacted an intermediary about the emails, who then contacted the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
00:22:09.000The FBI then, two months after that, that's how long it took for the FBI to care about this, by the way.
00:22:15.000It took another 60 days for the Bureau to care about these emails.
00:22:19.000They come through, they get a subpoena, and they make a copy of the laptop, but they leave the original devices.
00:22:26.000In December, the FBI then comes back again and confiscates the original devices.
00:22:31.000So the FBI has had this for almost 10 months, over 10 months.
00:22:39.000An agent then tells Isaac: if Hunter Biden comes looking for the laptop, to tell him that it's in storage, inform the FBI through a text, and they will bring it back.
00:22:52.000Isaac then claims members of the FBI buried the investigation.
00:23:51.000Hunter Biden either forgot the emails or the laptop, or he got so distracted, so caught up in whatever he was doing in his life at the time, that this truly was an incredible error.
00:24:12.000In fact, that could be kind of the same thing.
00:24:13.000There is another theory out there that I don't believe, that this is some kind of Democrat-on-Democrat friendly fire dump against the Bidens.
00:24:24.000And this is a pattern for Hunter Biden.
00:24:26.000Hunter Biden was in Phoenix, Arizona in the fall of 2016, and he left a crack pipe, credit cards, and powder cocaine in his rental car at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport.
00:24:39.000So this is a pattern from Hunter Biden to just leave paraphernalia or to leave personal information or personal, let's say, personal effects that are of some significance and importance.
00:24:54.000So John Ratcliffe, who is the director of national intelligence, was on Maria Bartaromo this morning, and he made it very clear that what Adam Schiff said that this is Russian disinformation.
00:25:07.000So their working theory is that, not their theory, their argument, which is baseless, has no evidence whatsoever, is that the Russians hacked this email, this laptop of Hunter Biden, got the information, then rerouted it back through this guy in Delaware or whatever story.
00:25:35.000It is Adam Schiff, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, who, as you pointed out on Friday, said that the intelligence community believes that Hunter Biden's laptop and the emails on it are part of some Russian disinformation campaign.
00:25:51.000The intelligence community doesn't believe that because there's no intelligence that supports that.
00:25:56.000And we have shared no intelligence with Chairman Schiff or any other member of Congress that Hunter Biden's laptop is part of some Russian disinformation campaign.
00:26:05.000And so even if it was part of a Russian disinformation campaign, that is a false flag by Adam Schiff because Adam Schiff is not talking about the authenticity of the emails.
00:26:17.000And by the way, Joe Biden is not even responding.
00:26:21.000And anyone that is asked about it from the Biden campaign refuses to deny it.
00:27:15.000I would say that what's so important right now from both the American citizen and the media, yourself included, Leland, is to continue to ask clarifying questions about this.
00:27:25.000Why the FBI is investigating what's imperative to know?
00:27:29.000And then Joe Biden refuses to answer any question about the FBI seizing his son's laptop, Cut 6.
00:27:46.000Joe Biden just ignores the question completely.
00:27:49.000And so you have the activist media providing incredible amount of cover fire for the Biden campaign here.
00:27:57.000The tech companies are banning anyone that dares mention this.
00:28:01.000And again, let's listen again to John Ratcliffe.
00:28:34.000And the more I dive into this, the more I realize the baselessness of the activist media here, it's hard to trust anything they say.
00:28:48.000Let's listen to Ratcliffe again, Cut 10.
00:28:51.000It is Adam Schiff, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, who, as you pointed out on Friday, said that the intelligence community believes that Hunter Biden's laptop and the emails on it are part of some Russian disinformation campaign.
00:29:06.000The intelligence community doesn't believe that because there's no intelligence that supports that.
00:29:11.000And we have shared no intelligence with Chairman Schiff or any other member of Congress that Hunter Biden's laptop is part of some Russian disinformation campaign.
00:29:20.000And so Ratcliffe has the access to these classified briefings.
00:29:25.000Ratcliffe knows exactly where this information is and where it comes from.
00:29:30.000And despite that, the Biden campaign and Adam Schiff, who is providing cover fire for them, is refusing to answer any of these questions at all around it, at all.
00:29:42.000And so, and then you have the big tech companies that are providing cover fire.
00:29:48.000How about Senator Josh Hawley here, who then talks about the big tech censorship issue, how this all comes together, Cut 12.
00:29:55.000You know, if you've been locked out of Twitter or if you can't distribute this New York Post article on Facebook, you ought to be able to sue them.
00:30:02.000You could do that with another company, but you can't do it with Facebook and Twitter, Google, because of the special sweetheart deal they get from the federal government.
00:30:10.000And by the way, that's how they've gotten so big and powerful.
00:30:39.000They offer a wide range of protection plans that can save you thousands for a covered repair, which means that check engine light is a lot less scary when it comes on.
00:30:47.000You have the freedom to choose your favorite mechanic or dealership to do the work.
00:30:50.000And CarShield gets the rest taken care of.
00:30:53.000Even if your car breaks down while you're traveling, the choice of a repair shop is still up to you.
00:30:57.000On top of that, there's no long-term contracts or commitments.
00:31:00.000CarShield has helped over 1 million drivers.
00:31:03.000That's why they're America's number one auto protection company.
00:31:06.000I used to dread car repairs, but with Car Shield, I have a peace of mind.
00:31:10.000Get coverage today and see why CarShield cars go farther.
00:31:12.000Call 800-655-2157 and mention code Kirk or visit cardshield.com.
00:32:28.000It's well known, and I hope he finds recovery and sympathy.
00:32:33.000I don't want to say I feel bad for him if some of these allegations are true about some of the other things there, but Hunter Biden here should not be the focus.
00:32:42.000Joe Biden is the focus of this entire discoveries.
00:32:50.000And so the Biden campaign is not denying it.
00:32:56.000The House intelligence chair, Adam Schiff, says it comes from Russia, which is completely and totally baseless.
00:33:03.000And John Ratcliffe has said that there is no information at all to support that.
00:33:08.000And the emails say clearly that Joe Biden did meet with Burisma board members, that Joe Biden was cut in on foreign business deals regarding the China, that Hunter Biden did get secret access to the State Department building to have meetings that favored Burisma.
00:33:26.000And Joe Biden acted on all of those things in firing the prosecutor, which financially benefited his family and his son.
00:33:36.000So American foreign policy was being crafted and directed for the financial benefit of the Biden campaign.
00:33:46.000And what's really interesting about this is I would conjecture that this is not anything new.
00:33:55.000What's new about this and what Joe Biden's probably regretting is getting his crackhead son involved in all of this.
00:34:04.000What I mean by it's not new, I would venture a pretty logical guess that for the last 40 years, this has been a pattern from the ruling class families across our country.
00:34:34.000If I were to build this out, I bet Joe Biden got the playbook on how to do this from prior administrations.
00:34:44.000Joe Biden just employed the wrong person.
00:34:49.000Joe Biden, instead of using a son or a daughter that was somewhat competent, he used a criminal.
00:35:01.000And so our entire American foreign policy portfolio over the last 30, 40 years was probably created, was probably At the direction of some family's financial interest, and that should anger you.
00:35:17.000That the ruling class elites are able to get very rich off of these decisions of whether or not they're going to give foreign aid, whether or not they're going to saber-rattle at a certain country.
00:35:28.000And that is not in the best interest of the middle class of our country.
00:35:31.000And that is the deeper point behind this story: is that it's less about Joe Biden, and it's more about the pattern that he represents.
00:35:47.000The pattern that decade after decade, a smaller and smaller group of people grows richer and richer and more powerful, and they don't provide any value to your life except that they're in a position of authority to exploit you, to sell you out, and to get very rich while doing so.
00:36:15.000And now Barack Obama's falling in the footsteps.
00:36:17.000And Mitt Romney and John Kerry, all of them have acted in this pattern of behavior.
00:36:23.000And Donald Trump is the only thing that has disrupted this.
00:36:28.000We have been unpacking the Hunter Biden email scandal.
00:36:34.000And it seems like this is actually moving things with swing voters.
00:36:40.000It seems that despite the activist media's best attempts, despite the ruling class deluge of interference that they have been running, such as the Daily Beast, Donald Trump, Rudy Giuliani, and Rupert Murdoch's dubious.
00:36:57.000Hunter Biden, October Surprise reeks of desperation.
00:37:02.000As we already wrote, read, I should say, the anatomy of the New York Post's dubious Hunter Biden story: how Twitter and Facebook's attempt to squelch a dubious Biden story fired, Washington Post, Business Insider New York Post's dubious Hunter Biden article.
00:37:19.000This is the Washington Examiner by Andrew Mark Miller.
00:37:24.000Major television networks largely ignored a bombshell report about former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter's overseas business dealings.
00:37:34.000They dedicated nine minutes and 47 seconds to this story.
00:37:41.000MSNBC dedicated four minutes to this story.
00:37:48.000There's many dimensions you can look at it.
00:37:52.000And it's not, it's actually one of the most, and I hate to use this word because it's such a left-wing word, intersectional stories of this entire cycle.
00:38:04.000Because it shows and reveals the corporatist Democrats, social media and tech bias, the corruption of the Biden campaign, how American foreign policy is decided based on the financial interests of a very small ruling class, how Joe Biden has pathologically lied about his involvement in foreign business deals.
00:38:35.000All of these things come together in this one singular story.
00:38:41.000And so people say we're only two weeks out from an election.
00:38:46.000And understand that time, as you get closer to an election, becomes weighted heavier, not quicker.
00:38:57.000That every day is more important than it would be back in March.
00:39:01.000So, yes, there are two weeks out to the election, but it's going to feel like two months to the election because every day operates in its own independent, almost yearly news cycle where everything you say, everything you do has such higher and heavier weight.
00:39:21.000And so, a lot of the national polls are telling us that Donald Trump is losing.
00:39:29.000And we've already broken apart a lot of those polls.
00:39:31.000We've already added, I think, our fair share of skepticism towards those polls.
00:39:36.000However, how about the actual early voting returns?
00:40:16.000The Republican Party is keeping pace in mail-in and early voting in three key swing states, despite polls showing early voting could clearly favor Joe Biden.
00:40:27.000You see, Republicans vote or do not traditionally do not vote early.
00:40:33.000Republicans vote on Election Day, just like people go to Easter and Christmas service, or they have a barbecue on Memorial Day, July 4th, and Labor Day.
00:40:44.000There are some things that are just built in to the behavioral patterns of a Republican.
00:40:50.000And one of the things that is built into the behavioral pattern of a Republican is you show up on Election Day to cast your ballot.
00:40:58.000And I don't think that Democrats will beat Republicans on Election Day.
00:41:03.000Democrats usually crush Republicans in early voting, and it's up to Republicans on Election Day to make up that difference.
00:41:14.000So in Michigan, as of Wednesday, just over 1 million ballots have been returned, 40% from registered Democrats, and 40% from Republicans.
00:41:39.000The Republicans actually lead early voting in Ohio with 45% of the 475,000 early ballot returns coming from Republicans, compared to 43% from registered Democrats.
00:41:55.000So there's two explanations here, and they're both pretty good for Trump.
00:42:00.000There's one that is really good and one that is pretty good.
00:42:04.000The pretty good explanation is that Donald Trump supporters are so excited, they're voting early, and they just cannot wait.
00:42:13.000And they want to make sure they vote as soon as they possibly can.
00:42:17.000The even better explanation for Donald Trump is that, yes, they're excited and they're voting early, but they're not done, meaning that this is not the complete body of the Republican base.
00:42:31.000It is not the complete picture of the body politic.
00:42:34.000This is just the beginning of the Republican surge.
00:42:38.000So now in order for Democrats to win this election in these key states, they're going to have to beat Republicans on Election Day, which is something Democrats have not done since 2008.
00:42:52.000To get Democrats to show up on Election Day for many different reasons that are just difficult to explain, a lot of complexities, not easy to do.
00:43:19.000This also tells me that if we do not know the winner on election night, and some of these mail-in ballots have yet to be counted, it's not going to be unlimited good news for the Democrats.
00:43:34.000Meaning that if Donald Trump is winning on election night and they say, oh, we still have to count the mail-in ballots, understand that it's not going to be an overwhelming deluge to compensate for the margin that they might need.
00:43:50.000So for example, in previous years, almost always, Republicans surge because the ballots that are counted on the day, night of on election night, and then the Democrats say, well, we got to count the mail-in ballots.
00:44:01.000They pair them together and sometimes Democrats win.
00:44:04.000What's looking like the trend currently, and we got plenty of time and things can change.
00:44:10.000And as Donald Trump says, let's see what happens.
00:44:16.000Republicans are going to win on Election Day.
00:44:21.000And then the Democrats are going to say, oh, let's wait for the mail-in votes.
00:44:24.000And absent fraud, absent duplicate ballots, absent voter registration issues, all those sorts of things that we got to keep a close eye on.
00:44:34.000The Democrats are not going to have the ballot surge I think that they need if they're trying to have a pathway to victory.
00:44:43.000And President Donald Trump is, he's going bold, everybody.
00:45:27.000And in fact, Gallup has a very interesting poll that I want to dive into.
00:45:34.000Extremely interesting about voter identification and voter registration, where there is data now to show that more and more people are self-identifying as Republicans than they were in 2016 or either in 2012.
00:45:53.000It might not feel like it in California or New York, but in the Midwest and in other states, the country's becoming more Republican.
00:46:02.000NationalReview.com, the pollster who thinks Trump is ahead, Trafalgar, they believe that Donald Trump is winning.
00:46:14.000And they have come out with a series of polls to reflect that.
00:46:20.000They believe that there are at least five or six points of hidden Trump voters out there that will show up and have shown up.
00:46:32.000As we have just been detailing, this is a fire alarm for Democrats right now.
00:46:37.000The early voting numbers that are coming in are incredible.
00:46:41.000As someone who has worked on political campaigns, as someone that has been involved in campaigns since I've been 14 years old, it is one of the bedrock rules of American politics that Democrats crush early voting.
00:46:56.000Republicans have to make up for it on election day.
00:46:59.000And yet, Republicans are tied, if down, only down a couple points in early voting in the key battleground states of Ohio and Michigan.
00:47:09.000Gallup has come out with a new poll, which shows that in September, from September 14th to September 28th, question was this.
00:47:20.000In politics as of today, do you consider yourself a Republican, Democrat, or an Independent?
00:47:29.000The answer to that question back a year ago in September of 2019 was 26% of the country thought of themselves as Democrats and 29% of the country thought of themselves as Republicans.
00:47:47.000Today, 28% of the country thinks of themselves as Republicans, and 27% of the country thinks of themselves as Democrats, 42% Independents.
00:47:56.000But let's go back on the time machine to 2016.
00:48:01.0002016, when they commissioned a similar poll, 20, that's right, 29% of the country considered themselves Republicans, but 31% of the country considered themselves Democrats.
00:48:17.000So Democrat favorability has been dropping dramatically.
00:48:22.000And that's why you're seeing Republican voter registration, Republican numbers go up in historic fashion.
00:48:30.000None of these trends are positive for Democrats.
00:48:56.000What I will tell you, though, is what is good news and what is bad news.
00:48:59.000And you can make your own conclusion, how they contribute to the desired outcome that you may or may not have.
00:49:05.000And when I can tell you is that if I was Joe Biden and I saw this Gallup poll, I saw the early voting numbers, I saw the voter registration numbers, I saw the 22,000 people that showed up just to be standing on the side of the street when it was 95 degrees in Santa Ana, California.
00:49:20.000I was there yesterday for an unrelated event just to see President Trump's motorcade drive by, where Donald Trump has tens of thousands of people coming to his rallies, I'd be very worried.
00:49:35.000I saw a segment this morning on Fox News.
00:49:37.000It was a nice enough guy, a Democrat strategist, and the only argument that he had for Joe Biden's enthusiasm is the amount of money that he is raising.
00:49:45.000What he's not telling you is that a lot of those small dollar donations are from California, Illinois, New York, Washington, D.C., Oregon, and the state of Washington.
00:49:56.000That there's not an overwhelming surge of small dollar donors from the Midwest of this country.
00:50:02.000Now, mind you, the Democrats have an incredible apparatus of small dollar donations through Act Blue, only helped by the domestic terror organization, BLM Incorporated, that helped get the data and the donor profiles of small dollar donors all across the country.
00:50:22.000And with all of that, we have looming over all of this one of the most egregious, one of the most Outrageous examples of non-journalism in American history, where laptops are literally handed over to a mainstream news outlet, reported on, and they run cover fire saying it's a conspiracy theory, it's dubious, it's unproven, despite the fact that Joe Biden has yet to deny it.
00:50:49.000None of the people on the campaign are saying it's inauthentic.
00:50:52.000And as we play tape, one of the Biden surrogates, Jenna Arnold, said, I don't think anyone is saying they're inauthentic.
00:50:58.000Well, that is like saying they are authentic, which means that Joe Biden was cut in on these foreign business deals, that Joe Biden and his son have been selling out our country to foreign countries to get rich.
00:51:11.000It's a bad time to have that pattern of news be thrown at you.
