00:00:27.000What is going on with the Arizona audit and the Georgia election mess?
00:00:33.000We'll give you an update, talk about the constitutionality of it.
00:00:36.000We also talk about how the media has completely reversed course on compromised elections.
00:00:42.000One of the most fun segments I've done in quite some time is we go through many of the headlines from major news institutions that said elections could be compromised to all of a sudden say that they're most the most secure ever.
00:00:54.000You can find that article at charliekirk.com.
00:00:57.000Email us your thoughts, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:01:29.000You guys are allowing us to reach new heights and keep on moving the ball forward for freedom and for our country and our mission to reach millions of young people every single month.
00:01:41.000If you want to get involved with Turning Point USA, go to tpusa.com, where we play offense with a sense of urgency to win the American Culture War.
00:01:50.000Get engaged and get involved with a high school or college chapter at tpusa.com.
00:02:20.000His 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.
00:02:28.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:02:44.000In fact, some people say over 100 million people are struggling with some kind of pain, maybe from exercise or just getting older.
00:02:50.000Now, Pete and Seth Talbot, they are on a mission.
00:02:52.000You rarely see this kind of focus and commitment.
00:02:54.000They recently shared with me that they are doubling down and want to literally double their total number of happy customers in the next year.
00:03:13.000So maybe you want to be able to do cartwheels or be able to do backflips like producer Andrew.
00:03:18.000Maybe you want to be able to run a marathon, swim underwater, go scuba diving, jump out of an airplane, but maybe it's your knee pain, back pain, joint pain, whatever pain it might be.
00:03:50.000Well, first, I want to cover a story that happened last week, which goes to show how worried and how paranoid the federal government has become around states taking elections into their own hands.
00:04:05.000Now, isn't it interesting that the Democrats or the people that run the federal government, they never get in the way when states relax their own voting laws?
00:04:16.000For example, when California allowed mail-in balloting, the federal government said, well, that's a state's rights issue.
00:04:20.000When Oregon went to universal mail-in balloting, they said, well, that's a state's rights issue.
00:04:24.000When Colorado went to near-mail-in universal balloting, they said, well, that's a state's rights issue.
00:04:30.000When illegals now can vote in municipal elections in California, and they're trying to get that done in Vermont, they say, well, that's a state's rights issue.
00:04:39.000When all of a sudden cities like Portland and Seattle, Chicago and New York, they want to disobey federal immigration law, the federal government says, well, that's a state's rights issue.
00:04:53.000When Colorado wants to legalize marijuana or crystals or whatever kind of mushrooms, I guess, Denver wanted to do, I guess they did that recently.
00:05:02.000They say, that's a state's rights issue, even though it's against federal law.
00:05:06.000You could argue that it shouldn't be, but it is.
00:05:09.000But the moment that the 48th state in the union decides to check the process of how their own elections were conducted, the federal government threatens to go full little rock nine on them.
00:05:24.000Threatens to go full federal force against them.
00:05:28.000Politico.com last week, and we were so busy last week covering so many stories, but it's just as applicable today as it was a couple days ago.
00:05:35.000Department of Justice fires warning shot against unusual post-election ballot reviews.
00:05:41.000The Justice Department new memo reminded states that allowing ballots to be mishandled can violate federal law.
00:06:00.000And you see, this is so, it's so hypocritical.
00:06:03.000It's so contradictory, but it's so typical of the Democrat Party and the American left and the collectivists, which is they're all for states' rights and the 10th Amendment if it fits their socially degenerate aims, if it fits their relaxed voting measures that they want.
00:06:22.000But the moment that a state wants to use states' rights to try to ensure election integrity, they are going to use the federal government to try to intimidate them and intervene at any means possible.
00:06:32.000I'm reading from Josh Gernstein and Zach Monterello's article.
00:06:36.000The Justice Department on Wednesday issued another warning aimed at states conducting or considering audits of ballots tallied in last year's election, reminding election authorities that allowing ballots to be mishandled can violate federal law.
00:06:50.000While the Biden administration's guidance document carries no formal legal weight and may not strike fear into local officials, the Justice Department used the release of the legal analysis to press their campaign of saber rattling against Republican-led audits of the 2020 vote in Arizona and other states, as well as voting changes many Republican states are pursuing as part of anti-fraud efforts.
00:07:15.000It's part of a seven-page review, and it says this.
00:07:18.000This document puts down a marker that says the Justice Department is concerned about this.
00:07:24.000The Justice Department is concerned about the handling of ballots?
00:07:27.000Is the Justice Department concerned that there were 72,000 more mail-in ballots that were sent into Arizona than were actually sent out?
00:07:35.000If they're upset about the handling of ballots, are they concerned about the alleged and evident and very, seems to be very clear, multiple ballots being run through machines in Georgia?
00:07:47.000Are they concerned about all of a sudden someone finding a box of ballots underneath the table in Mercedes-Benz arena in downtown Atlanta?
00:07:58.000Are they worried about ballots being mishandled by the Postal Service, which thanks to Project Veritas and James O'Keefe, we know that?
00:08:05.000Are they worried about the whistleblower that came forward that just suddenly disappeared, according to local Milwaukee news, where there were people going to old people's homes against their will and filling out ballots for Joe Biden?
00:08:16.000Are they worried about ballot misuse or ballot malfeasance of the Nevada Native Vote Project that illegally traded goods and services in cash for filled-out ballots for Joe Biden?
00:08:27.000These are things that we just know, by the way.
00:08:29.000And we're hardly a criminal investigative unit here.
00:08:31.000These are just things that we see on social media.
00:08:35.000Election audits are seemingly rare, the Justice Department says, and they're concerned that some jurisdictions conducting them may be using or proposing to use procedures that risk violating the Civil Rights Act.
00:08:50.000We should be auditing every single election, every single year.
00:08:55.000A nonprofit of scalable size, such as Turning Point USA or a church, goes through an audit where you bring in an accounting firm and they go and give you a clean bill of financial or fiscal health.
00:09:09.000Why don't we audit all of our elections, especially when voting poll places are changing, when you have many issues with ballot custody, mail-in-ballot malfeasance?
00:09:19.000Why is it that the federal government and Joe Biden are now sending in the federales to interrupt what the states are allowed to do constitutionally?
00:09:30.000So let me just read this one part of the Constitution.
00:09:37.000The time, places, and manner of holding elections for senators and representatives shall be prescribed in each state by the legislature thereof.
00:09:47.000But the Congress may at any time by law make or alter such regulations except as to the places or choosing of senators.
00:10:01.000And understand, Arizona is not just auditing the federal election.
00:10:06.000Arizona is not just auditing the congressional election.
00:10:10.000Arizona is auditing the mayor elections.
00:10:14.000They're auditing the state representative elections.
00:10:17.000The federal government has no jurisdiction over any of that, except if the federal government thinks that a ballot that was involved in a federal election was issued fraudulently or against the law in the state.
00:10:31.000So why is it that all of a sudden, according to Politico.com, they are marching in?
00:10:38.000The DOJ says we cannot comment on any investigation that might be going on.
00:10:41.000They say, quote, we didn't want any sort of jurisdictions or jurisdictions think that we should have some safe harbor to say, because we ran our voting system this way before the pandemic, we're able to go back to that way, racially discriminatory policy.
00:10:56.000The Justice Department suit against Georgia, and we'll get into Georgia in a second because we're doing a comprehensive audit here.
00:11:03.000And again, I want to just reemphasize this point.
00:11:06.000This is not just about federal elections.
00:11:10.000This is about state elections as well.
00:11:23.000So the federal government, they wanted to audit the 2016 election, not this way, but remember when you had article after article after article after article that said, be aware of hacked machines, how to hack an election in seven minutes or less?
00:11:58.000And let me be very clear: any conservative that does not mention election integrity regularly is avoiding one of the biggest issues that has happened in our country, and they are seeking convenience and comfort.
00:12:12.000They are seeking corporate approval than the truth.
00:12:17.000Election integrity is the biggest issue when it comes to actually the process of allocating political power in this country.
00:12:25.000In Georgia, in 2016, we'll get the exact numbers in the next segment.
00:12:30.000They had approximately 238,000 mail-in ballots with very strict signature requirements.
00:12:36.000In 2020, they had well over 1.2 million mail-in ballots with relaxed signature requirements due to a consent decree that was signed with Brian Kemp without anyone knowing.
00:12:49.000We know that multiple ballots were run through the machines in Georgia.
00:12:53.000And now the federal government is getting very worried.
00:12:56.000The pronouncement says where election records leave control of election officials, the system for maintaining the security, integrity, and chain of custody of those records can easily be broken.
00:13:06.000What they're really doing is the DOJ is threatening criminal action if you look too far into what happened in the 2020 election, which is exactly why the audits must continue.

00:14:30.000I just want to recap what we already know from the Arizona audit according to Senator Warren Peterson and just one Senate testimony that we did stream live, and we're going to stream more of them.
00:14:40.000We know that thousands of duplicate ballots, that serial numbers, were sent in with the wrong ballot boxes.
00:14:48.000We know that Maricopa County was supposed to use vote secure paper that should not bleed through, but instead the ballots show that there was bleed through, which could, we don't know if it did, cancel the ballots.
00:15:00.000There were 3,981 votes that were registered to vote in violation of an Arizona Supreme Court ruling issued prior to the election.
00:15:09.000We know that 11,326 votes were counted, even though these voters were not on the voter rolls on November 7th.
00:15:17.000Interestingly, that's almost exactly the margin of what Joe Biden was declared the winner by.
00:15:27.000We know that according to the Arizona audit, over 74,000 votes, more mail-in ballots were received and counted than were mailed out.
00:15:35.000And we know that based on system forensics, there is no way the county can certify this election to be safe.
00:15:42.000Now, that word safe is rather arbitrary and subjective, but that's just what we know so far.
00:15:48.000So, Andrew, what is the latest with this kind of struggle of subpoenas?
00:15:52.000What is going on here as we give our listeners an Arizona election audit update?
00:16:00.000Well, the main update is that there's been this drama around routers, and there's been a drama obviously around the Dominion voting machines, which you really frankly don't even need to go into.
00:16:13.000They've asked for the data from the voting machines.
00:16:16.000They've asked for the data from the routers.
00:16:19.000They've subpoenaed both, and both are being denied.
00:16:22.000So they're not complying, which is kind of shocking, actually.
00:16:27.000I mean, this headline out of Breitbart, I think, says it best.
00:16:30.000Arizona Republican state legislatures push back against defiant Maricopa County's refusal to cooperate with subpoenas.
00:16:37.000Now, you know, you and I were discussing this in the break.
00:16:41.000It's like, you know, a lot of people might assume that Maricopa County, the county board of supervisors is a Democratic board.
00:16:50.000Actually, it's Republican four to one.
00:16:52.000But if you know anything about Republican politics in the state of Arizona, you've still got a lot of carryover of these like flake Republicans, these McCain Republicans.
00:17:02.000Anyways, it's the Board of Supervisors, Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, is not complying with the subpoenas for the routers.
00:17:09.000Now, their excuse is that they say that we've complied, we've given you everything that you need to conduct your phony audit or whatever, and that this is somehow really important to the functioning of the state and of the county, and you can't have the routers, right?
00:17:25.000Now, the auditors are saying that there is a massive amount of data that will be contained on those routers.
00:17:49.000To punish the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors for refusing to turn over these routers.
00:17:55.000Now, we don't know what's behind the routers, but what I will do in the next segment, and Andrew sent this this morning in our show prep, and it's so amazing.
00:18:05.000And all of you, we are going to post this article on charliekirk.com.
00:18:09.000Every time the mainstream media told us elections could be hacked, we're going to go through all of the articles.
00:18:15.000And I'm not talking about some fringe blog.
00:19:20.000The more questions that we get when you email us, freedom at charliekirk.com, the more that you want us to focus on these issues, it doesn't just help us.
00:19:31.000It helps the state senators stay on it.
00:19:37.000I often talk about the crushing debt and lack of jobs that come with the broken college system in our country and how entering a trade or vocational school can provide great career opportunities where you are and skills will always be in demand.
00:19:50.000I want to talk to you about a friend of mine, a great American who runs an organization called the American Institute of Non-Destructive Testing.
00:20:32.000That's trainingndt.com to learn how you can have an opportunity to work in industries such as aerospace, oil, gas, nuclear, and alternative energy as a technician performing critical inspections that make our world a safer place.
00:20:47.000So non-destructive testing is where you are inspecting America's critical infrastructure.
00:20:53.000Let me tell you why this is important.
00:21:07.000The people going into non-destructive testing needs to go up because so many people are retiring.
00:21:12.000There's a huge opportunity out there for you.
00:21:15.000Their program consists of six months online education, followed by three weeks at the American Institute campus using state-of-the-art inspection equipment such as ultrasonics, capturing x-rays, and producing magnetic fields to inspect critical components to ensure their safety and reliability.
00:21:33.000I want you to know that Don Booth, the CEO, is a patriot and his whole team cares about the future of every single graduate.
00:21:42.000So if you guys are looking for a job, looking for a career, looking for the next thing to do in life, or maybe you're 40 or 50 years old, you're like, man, I want a fresh start.
00:21:52.000Go to trainingndt.com and learn about this exciting and rewarding career.
00:21:57.000We here on the Charlie Kirk Show want to give the muscular class a voice.
00:22:48.000How to hack an election in seven minutes.
00:22:51.000With Russia already meddling in 2016, a ragtag group of obsessive tech experts is warning that stealing the ultimate prize would be child's play.
00:26:54.000By the way, this whole list that I'm reading here will be available on CharlieKirk.com.
00:26:58.000And if you want to subscribe to the Charlie Kirk Show podcast, and it's from some Telegram feed, it's Kane Coa the Great, who consolidated this, honestly.
00:27:07.000Great work consolidating this together.
00:28:39.000Maybe there isn't, where the media is covering all this up.
00:28:43.000Andrew, what are your thoughts on this?
00:28:47.000Well, it's funny that you mentioned the Atlanta Journal Constitution.
00:28:50.000I've been looking over Merrick Garland and the DOJ's lawsuit that they've filed against the state of Georgia for their election integrity bills that they were passed and that Governor Kemp signed into law.
00:29:04.000And I just want to make one small observation.
00:29:21.000They don't actually reference a lot of things that they in detail.
00:29:25.000They sort of brush over a lot of the details.
00:29:27.000Anyways, it's sort of an aside, but nevertheless, it's fairly embarrassing for them.
00:29:32.000So my thoughts are that these Democrats in the media, these activist journalists, were actually betting on the fact that Donald Trump was going to win the election in 2020.
00:29:45.000So what they were doing is they were building a case that they could look back and say, see, we got hacked again.
00:29:59.000Look at how susceptible and how, you know, they were very excited to basically say the institutions of America are falling apart and it's all awful when they thought their guy was going to lose.
00:30:17.000And we've got governors and other elected officials going against their own state constitutions to change the laws under the cover of darkness.
00:31:03.000The reason you haven't finished your audit is because you hired people who have no experience and little understanding of how professional elections are run.
00:31:10.000Hold on, Jack Sellers, taking two weeks to count ballots, changing voting locations, and 72,000 more mail-in ballots received than sent out is how professional elections are run in Nicaragua.
00:31:50.000There wasn't an injection of ballots from Asia, nor was there a satellite that beamed votes into our election equipment.
00:31:56.000It's time for all elected officials to tell the truth and stop encouraging conspiracies.
00:32:00.000Release your report and time to move on.
00:32:02.000Well, Jack Sellers, why is it that then you then refuse to hand over the routers?
00:32:07.000If it was so clean, show us how clean it was.
00:32:11.000You know, when you win a championship, sports championship, you technically sometimes, if you did it right, you want to have all the footage you possibly can shown to the world.
00:32:25.000You want to show the world how great you were.
00:32:29.000You want to show how phenomenal it was.
00:32:33.000But if there was something wrong, a call that was missed, someone that cheated, a holding call that wasn't done in football, maybe you wouldn't show that footage over and over and over again.
00:32:46.000You see, Maricopa County Board of Supervisors are like the umpires or the people at Major League Baseball that covered for the Houston Astros for years.
00:32:56.000Now, producer Andrew's a big Dodgers fan.
00:32:59.000Now, this is back when I watched baseball, before it became an anti-American enterprise, like far too many things in our country.
00:33:05.000And I, if you watch baseball, I know Andrew is Andrew's a red, okay?
00:35:02.000Can you at least walk us through the how bad was the cheating by the Houston Astros?
00:35:09.000I use this analogy intentionally quickly.
00:35:11.000Well, I mean, it was, it was, well, right now, just quickly, the Dodgers are playing the Houston Astros right now at Dodger Stadium.
00:35:19.000Apparently, people were throwing, you know, trash cans out into the field as a protest.
00:35:25.000I mean, I don't think they're ever going to get over it because it was such a scar against baseball itself.
00:35:30.000But what happened in 2017, and I think in maybe years prior to that, is they were placing video cameras out in center field and they were picking up signs and then they were banging on a trash can to signal to their player, to their batter, what pitch was going to come.
00:35:47.000And so, you know, there was a lot of research was done on this.
00:35:50.000And they would, you know, baseball is a game of stats.
00:37:22.000So Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which was passed in the 60s, is the section that prohibits voting practices or procedures that discriminate on the basis of race, color, or membership in one of the language minority groups.
00:38:02.000And it prohibits from handing out food and water to voters in line, right?
00:38:06.000So anywhere in there where it says that it restricts people of color from voting, that's what they're hanging their whole hat on this, because as you just described earlier, the Constitution expressly gives the states rights to determine their own election laws.
00:38:21.000But the federal mandate from the 1965 Voting Rights Act says, well, you can't discriminate against people of color, right?
00:38:27.000So this is what Biden's whole strategy was.
