00:01:04.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:44.000Arizona actually has more conservative Republicans going to the House of Representatives than Democrats.
00:01:51.000First time in a couple years, that is the case.
00:01:54.000More conservative legislature in Arizona, California, and New York.
00:01:59.000But the question is, what exactly happened?
00:02:01.000And the answer is that while we were surging in the polls, it was an insurmountable hill for many of us to overcome because while Democrats, while we were worrying about messaging and polling and how we're trending and are we getting hot for election day, Democrats were scooping up and capturing ballots.
00:02:20.000The game has changed and it has changed permanently.
00:02:24.000Now, many of you say, Charlie, we shouldn't play the game.
00:02:27.000And saying that we shouldn't get engaged, we shouldn't get involved.
00:02:40.000But in states now where there's going to be mixed control, states like Nevada, states like California, you're going to have to play the game.
00:02:49.000Now, it's very interesting about how the left, they get drop boxes at every one of their convenient locations, college campuses, urban areas.
00:02:58.000Why don't we get drop boxes then at construction sites, churches, gun shops?
00:03:07.000You see, if you look at the national popular vote, the national popular vote of where did Americans vote when it came to giving the U.S. House of Representatives?
00:03:20.000Republicans received 53.6 million votes.
00:03:24.000Democrats received 49.7 million votes.
00:03:28.0004.4 million Americans voted for Republicans to go control the House of Representatives more than Democrats.
00:03:48.000It depends on how you allocate power and authority.
00:03:52.000Democrats have now used the gerrymandering process, and Republicans used to dominate in this, but now Democrats are in it completely and wholeheartedly.
00:04:00.000And now they know that from a popular vote standpoint, they were going to get eliminated and obliterated.
00:04:08.000So they raised records amounts of money.
00:04:12.000And I will say this: Democrats raised so much more money than Republicans this cycle.
00:04:26.000Easier for them to raise money and deploy money, I should say.
00:04:30.000And conservative Republicans struggled in that regard.
00:04:34.000Also, of course, Democrats represent crypto scam artists.
00:04:40.000You have to wonder: would the Democrat flow of money have been so generous if FTX and Sam Bankman Freed, the con man, wouldn't have been dishing out money anywhere between $27 to $40 million deployed from that entire scam operation of FTX.
00:05:04.000And so as we look at the midterms, as we look at the world that we are now entering post-midterms, we're able to take a step back and say, you know what?
00:05:16.000It's a good thing we control the House of Representatives.
00:05:20.000It's a good thing we're retiring Nancy Pelosi, and we're thankful for that.
00:05:25.000It's a good thing that Florida is now this deep red state.
00:05:28.000It's a good thing that Robert Francis O'Rourke will not be the governor of Texas or Stacey Abrams will not be the governor of Georgia.
00:05:35.000But I can't help feel a little slighted and upset on many different reasons because we now have to have a collective agreement.
00:05:46.000The biggest takeaway of the 2022 realignment is we are no longer participants in elections.
00:06:03.000I will fully acknowledge and admit I thought that we were going to have a restoration of elections and voters post-COVID.
00:06:13.000I thought that we were going to have some sort of realignment where people were going to be back into the old voting behaviors, and that is completely wrong.
00:06:22.000And then by broadcasting that we were going to vote on game day, Maricopa County planned the ambush, as we call it, the ambush of anywhere between, I think new estimates show one in four machines were malfunctioning on Election Day in Maricopa County, lines of an hour and two hours.
00:06:41.000And you could just imagine Democrat operatives screaming with joy and glee that our voters were unable to cast ballots on Election Day because they say we already banked all of our votes.
00:06:59.000We know the votes that we are going to get.
00:07:06.000It is a change in how we do elections all together.
00:07:12.000You see, this has been a learning process for a lot of us, and definitely myself included.
00:07:17.000I wanted to believe elections were the same way when I first started the volunteer in the suburbs of Chicago.
00:07:24.000Knocking on doors, trying to persuade people what candidate is more appealing, the people that are able to go into the debate and have dialogue.
00:07:33.000And the takeaway from 2022 is that stuff might matter, might matter a little bit, but John Fetterman is about to be a U.S. senator.
00:07:43.000Katie Hobbs is leading in the vote count.
00:07:46.000And I hope some of these lawsuits actually start to get filed soon for the voters' suppression of what's happening in Arizona.
00:07:54.000There needs to be a hand recount, and hopefully a judge will step up with some courage.
00:07:57.000But Katie Hobbs is currently leading in the vote count.
00:08:01.000It's because the Mark Elias of the world, the schemers, the Alinskyites, they recognize and realize that we Republicans, and I will say again, me, myself, I don't even have to blame anybody else, but I'll blame myself, are still living in a 2010 world where ideas really matter.
00:08:24.000It got us the House of Representatives back despite all of this game, the scheming.
00:08:29.000We still won back the House narrowly and barely.
00:08:32.000And you want to know why we barely won back the House?
00:08:35.000Because we're playing a game that does not exist anymore.
00:08:39.000We're playing a game where we thought that late breaking independents showing up to go vote on Election Day could bring us back into chambers of power.
00:08:48.000And the Democrats are chuckling and you say, okay, while you guys attack mail-in ballots, by the way, we should be skeptical of mail-in ballots, but there's other ways to vote early.
00:08:56.000We're just going to keep on banking our votes.
00:08:58.000We're going to go do vote gathering for fraternities and sororities at Arizona State University, even though it's questionable if they're all living in the same house together.
00:09:06.000Boxes of ballots coming at Arizona State University of people from sororities that are obviously very pro-abortion.
00:09:13.000Drop boxes at convenient Democrat areas.
00:09:16.000And then we broadcast our big play, and there's toner issues on the printer.
00:09:22.000In Anthem, in Wickenburg, in Scottsdale, our hottest precincts, hot as a pistol for Republican areas.
00:10:19.000Look, ah, Christmas, the holidays, when our waists get bigger and our wallets tend to get smaller.
00:10:24.000It's the season when most companies want you to spend all your money, but Good Ranchers wants to help you save this Christmas season.
00:10:30.000Beef prices are estimated to increase another 20% early in 2023.
00:10:35.000Continuing the largest spike on meat in recent U.S. history, Good Ranchers is letting you lock in the price on all your meat this November when you subscribe during their Black Friday savings.
00:10:44.000With my code Charlie, you can get their exclusive Black Friday offer of two free Black Angus New York Strip steaks.
00:10:50.000These are two 12-ounce steakhouse quality cuts.
00:10:53.000They'll absolutely blow you away in flavor.
00:10:55.000I love GoodRanchers at goodranchers.com slash Charlie.
00:10:59.000You'll inflation-proof your meat budget, get over $70 of free USDA choice steaks, and save an additional $25 on every box and you subscribe.
00:11:07.000Look, if you guys need a cook for this November or this Christmas season, just go buy a box of meat.
00:11:56.000I'm getting a lot of emails like that.
00:11:58.000People that are just saying, I'm completely done.
00:12:00.000That is exactly what the opposition wants you to do.
00:12:06.000The strategy is to try to invoke your surrender.
00:12:12.000If they are able to get you to be able to surrender, they win.
00:12:20.000And look, it's very important and it's very suspicious about how all the toner issues in Republican areas were in Republican precincts in Maricopa County.
00:12:48.000They said, okay, well, then I guess the toner issues are going to be wrong.
00:12:51.000Tyler Boyer tweeted, he says, I'm increasingly nervous about having long lines at the polls and machinery failing.
00:12:58.000We tweeted a week and a half before the election that we're very worried about Maricopa County's ability to facilitate at 223 voting centers, the election day surge that is going to happen.
00:13:08.000And they told us everything will be just fine by intentional sabotage.
00:13:16.000Now, there's still so much good news that we can share throughout all of this.
00:13:21.000Pelosi being retired, Republicans taking back the House, flipping the Nevada governor's race.
00:13:30.000Now, we have to game this out because if we are to surrender and engage in their psychological warfare, if we are to give up completely and totally, then they get all of their victories instantaneously.
00:13:46.000This here is to try to demoralize you.
00:18:36.000That is a 4 million person advantage that wanted to see some form of change in Washington, D.C.
00:18:43.000And look, some people say, well, Charlie, there were some uncontested Republican races that really helped Republicans, but there were some uncontested Democrat races as well, especially in urban areas like Seattle and San Francisco.
00:18:55.000So it's basically a wash in Massachusetts and California.
00:19:01.000And so when you win the congressional popular vote by 4.4 million votes, you should take a step back and you say, okay, certain races did not go the way we wanted them to go.
00:19:25.000It's not as if the people sent a message where they want everywhere they want more Democrats running everything they're doing all the time.
00:19:32.000Heck, if you look in Arizona, I talked to somebody yesterday who voted for Katie Hobbs, and they told me the reason they voted for Katie Hobbs is because she was going to secure the southern border.
00:19:44.000This is a conversation I had yesterday.
00:19:47.000They said Katie Hobbs is going to secure the southern border.
00:19:50.000I said, What on earth are you talking about?
00:20:19.000Joining us now is Katherine Engelbrecht from the great True the Vote.
00:20:22.000You have got to support truthevote.org.
00:20:25.000Katherine Engelbrecht was needlessly, and I believe illegally and recklessly jailed for protecting an FBI source, a story that did not get nearly enough press attention.
00:20:36.000Catherine, welcome back to the program.
00:21:29.000I think the biggest thing that we can continue to do is educate people about the fact that these drop boxes are, unless you have a plan for either a citizens' watch group or you're live streaming cameras, they're not being watched.
00:21:43.000They're not being monitored and they are insecure.
00:21:46.000So people, I think, you know, it's in the American sort of spirit to trust, right?
00:21:50.000Well, I think certainly after 2020, we should have antenna up on this blind trust issue.
00:21:58.000And Dropbox is one of it, was the weakest link in the chain.
00:22:01.000So walk us through your diagnosis of what happened in Arizona.
00:22:06.000Well, I think, you know, coming into this discussion, I heard you talking about the air quotes toner issue.
00:22:16.000You know, look, the fraud has been institutionalized in ways that are layers and layers and layers deep.
00:22:23.000And the fact that you just take that one issue of the toner or the failure of the printers, printers that had been worked used in the primary with no problems.
00:23:14.000We have a longer election season than Ramadan.
00:23:19.000So it's, you know, I mean, look, we have Arizona's not over.
00:23:24.000And There are legal questions and remedies, we believe, still to be explored.
00:23:30.000Um, successful, successfully, I believe.
00:23:33.000But make no mistake, you know, there will there will not be a, I don't believe, a dip in the press to change our election process between now and 2024.
00:23:46.000There are all indications that leftist intentions are to continue to morph this process into something that is less and less and less reliable and transparent.
00:23:56.000And that is why it's critical that we not take our eye off the ball.
00:24:15.000Yeah, so let's talk about part of this.
00:24:17.000So, according to Rasmussen, a very reputable mainstream polling firm, 48% of Maricopa election centers had printer or tabulation malfunctions on Election Day, not the previously estimated 20%.
00:24:31.000And no such widespread issues were reported during the early voting period that preceded Election Day and used the very same equipment.
00:24:38.000So basically, this equipment was being used for in-person early voting, and there was not a single issue.
00:24:45.000And then on Election Day, it feels like an ambush, it feels like a sabotage, but let's pretend it was just gross incompetence, which I find hard to believe.
00:24:53.00048%, Catherine, you're involved in a lot of the language of voter rights issues and legal complaints.
00:25:01.000Have you, I mean, walk us through what a potential remedy would be like for this after commenting on that.
00:25:08.000It gets to the heart of an equal protections question, because what happened to voters in Maricopa County who came and tried to cast their ballot in those environments where the printers were not working, were told you know, they either had to wait in line for hours and then tried, you know, 12 different ways to try to get their ballot to be taken or to put it into to a door number three um questionable, you know, black box um,
00:25:39.000They were told to go to other polling places, they were told to vote provisionally and in those instances uh, their vote and the and the lack of clarity around whether or not that ballot counted, uh impacts not only what happened in Maricopa, but impacts other counties as well, and so, and so I think that that there's, there's a lot yet to be uh learned about what really happened in Maricopa,
00:26:40.000Well, I mean, that's extraordinary, that's right, that's that's, that's right, and and it impact, you know, impacts every voter right you could have.
00:26:46.000You could have wanted to vote for, for Kerry Lake or Katie Hobbs if the printer wasn't working.
00:26:52.000You know you're being disenfranchised yeah, so this is, this is a matter of equal protections broadly, and I think that you know it's very, very important to to thoroughly examine state law to understand what the remedies are that Arizona affords uh, and how and how best to um, To seek that justice that ensures that every legal vote is counted and that voters have an opportunity to be heard.
00:27:28.000True the vote, historically, year upon year, a cycle upon cycle, we have an election integrity hotline that people call in and we have live operators that are taking sworn statements, and then we have people that can come to our website and post on our report.
00:27:45.000We, in the state of Arizona, I think we're now up to about 2,000 reports of voters who tell harrowing stories of what their experience was.
00:28:01.000These are too important to, you know, to just try to kick to the curb or sweep away.
00:28:07.000So we need to explore it and it's going to be looked at.
00:28:10.000From what I understand, the way the law is written is that a voter should be able to have the right to vote in the method of their choosing.
00:28:32.000I can't quote chapter and verse from Arizona law on that front, but certainly that's the spirit of an election is that you should be afforded the opportunity, whatever methods your state makes available, you should have the right to choose.
00:28:45.000I want to play cut 391, just talking about how the technician from Maricopa County came in.
00:28:51.00048% of the tabulating machines, 48% failed on election day, and they were working perfectly the days before.
00:30:04.000For every machine that went down, there was like a five to one ratio.
00:30:08.000They were in Scottsdale, they were in Mesa, they were in Anthem, they were in Wickenburg, it was in Surprise, it was the suburbs and the excerpts.
00:30:17.000For whatever reason, the machines worked fine mostly in downtown Phoenix.
00:30:47.000Remember, Donald Trump became president in 2016, sworn in in 17, and they created this mass oppositional movement, mass oppositional movement.
00:31:41.000That is, you could say with certainty and with clarity, the result would be different if it wasn't for that mass voter suppression operation.
00:32:07.000So if it was, let's think about this logically.
00:32:10.000If it really was a toner issue, as they say, and by the way, people are asking us freedom at charliekirk.com, what do you mean by a toner issue?
00:32:19.000What they're alleging, and I just don't believe them, is that because in Arizona you have to print the ballots on site, that they had the wrong printer settings, so it wasn't feeding into the machines correctly.
00:32:30.000Okay, then why didn't that happen at all the voting sites?
00:32:40.000And why is it that it was working in absolute perfection the days prior in the early voting period and day of you have this bedlam catastrophe?
00:34:37.000You know, I'm going to propose something.
00:34:39.000For the new Republican House of Representatives, I think that the new Republican House of Representatives should hold a hearing or two with some subpoenas for the Maricopa County Recorder's Office.
00:34:53.000It's time for Congress to investigate this.
00:34:55.000If the Department of Justice won't do this, why not have the new Republican Congress do it?
00:35:01.000Let's have the great Marjorie Taylor Greene, who looks like she's going to be on the oversight committee.
00:35:05.000Let's let her ask a couple questions of Stephen Richer and Bill Gates.
00:35:08.000I'm just asking, I'm wondering, why did this change?
00:35:14.000Why is it that 48% of the Republican-leaning precincts had an issue and they weren't there the days prior that resulted in two to three-hour lines and mass voter suppression?
00:35:28.000Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
00:35:29.000Email me your thoughts as always, freedom at charliekirk.com.
