00:00:07.000And then conservative publishing is ascendant.
00:00:11.000Sergio Gore, head of Winning Team Publishing, joins us to share about some of the new books and how conservative books sell better than liberal books.
00:00:20.000Want to thank those of you that support us at charliekirk.com slash support.
00:00:23.000Thank you, Royce from Texas, William from Alabama.
00:00:27.000Jovita from California, Lori from Montana, LaTanya from Maryland, Charlene from Colorado, Kylie from Texas, Brian from California, and Alice from Washington.
00:01:15.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:02:06.000So the Carrie Lake campaign went to the Arizona Supreme Court with their claims that the lower courts had erred in their decisions to dismiss certain counts and the challenge that she brought.
00:02:18.000I'm going to assume we've got a base level of knowledge here.
00:02:21.000Otherwise, we'll be here a lot longer than 15 minutes.
00:02:24.000But the Supreme Court ruled that the lower courts had made a mistake when ruling that the claim that Carrie Lake brought forth that Maricopa County did not follow its own procedures for signature matching caused it to allow through, you know, however many unverified signatures that shouldn't have been passed through.
00:02:43.000And the court ruled that that was a timely complaint that she made and remanded it back down to the trial court so that the trial court could then go through with the hearing on it.
00:02:52.000Of course, when we got back to the trial court, shenanigans ensued and the scope of the charge, for lack of a better word, got really, really, really narrow.
00:03:02.000And what the judge ultimately said was that Carrie Lake needed to prove that no signature matching or that there was any signature matching done during the 2020 2022 gubernatorial election.
00:03:17.000So the judge said, you have to prove that they didn't do this at all.
00:03:20.000They didn't do any signature verification.
00:03:23.000Well, we know that that's nearly impossible, but I'm going to tell you during this trial, they got pretty darn close to doing that, in my opinion.
00:03:30.000They were able to obtain log files from Maricopa County that showed the computer movements, the clicks and things like that that different signature verification levels were making at those workstations.
00:03:44.000And they brought in an expert or two to talk about those things during the trial.
00:03:47.000And what the expert told everybody was that there were hundreds of thousands of signatures that were verified in less than two and three seconds.
00:03:56.000So somebody sitting at a level one desk would scroll through.
00:03:59.000They have to make under the law, they have to make a comparison.
00:04:02.000So they have to look at the signature on the envelope and compare that to a signature that's on the individual's voter record.
00:04:08.000They get hours and hours of training on this, Charlie.
00:04:11.000So before we even got into it, their witnesses came up and said, Yeah, we were trained for 40 hours on this, or we were trained for eight hours or whatever it was.
00:04:21.000But when we got there, those procedures weren't being followed.
00:04:25.000Like we would say there's something wrong with this signature and send it up for the level two team to take a look at it.
00:04:30.000And then they would just send it back to us or say they were overwhelmed.
00:04:34.000So the experts came in and looked at this stuff.
00:04:36.000And the signature expert specifically said, there's no way that you could accurately compare and verify a signature in that period of time.
00:04:48.000Maricopa County came back, tried to impugn the character of the expert witness, tried to have one of their witnesses, Ray Valenzuela, come up and testify to all different times that it could possibly take to look at a signature.
00:05:00.000But what they didn't do, Charlie, is they never brought their own expert up to counter the point that you could not verify a signature in one second.
00:05:09.000They never brought a counter expert forward to do that.
00:05:12.000So this, it was really like looking at somebody floundering the amount of objections that were coming from them, the amount of, you know, character, you know, I don't know, obfuscation they were trying to make with the with the expert witness that was brought forth by the lake team.
00:05:29.000The things they never did, they never said that the data was incorrect.
00:05:33.000They never had their own expert up there to counter what Carrie Lake's expert was saying.
00:05:38.000And they basically resorted to character attacks like the left often does.
00:05:42.000So what was, do you know what the signature verification rejection rate was in years past?
00:05:58.000That if the Democrats indeed had a mule operation where they were in a clandestine way, you know, scooping up ballots and they were not actually from the people they say they are, then who are the people actually doing the clicking?
00:06:20.000They were outside on a, you know, with video and cameras.
00:06:24.000And unbeknownst to even those people, behind closed doors in another room somewhere, Maricopa County had another hundred and something people doing the same thing without being in front view of cameras and things like that.
00:06:36.000Number two, the approval rate of these signatures got higher the faster that they were sent through.
00:06:45.000So the faster they verified or clicked okay to send a signature through, the more accurate they say those signature signatures were.
00:06:54.000You would think it would be the inverse, right?
00:06:56.000You know, if someone takes six seconds or 10 seconds or 20 seconds to look at a signature, you'd think that that would have a more likely chance of failing rather than somebody who looked at it for a second.
00:07:11.000You know, it's very easy to send a bulk of ballots through, have someone just there clicking like they're on a farm.
00:07:17.000And there was one individual doing that that they identified on video that wasn't able to be entered as evidence, but was used as basically an exhibit or a demonstrative that people were looking at.
00:07:28.000And there were conflicting stories about this dude.
00:07:30.000So first he was fired or let go because he didn't do the right thing.
00:07:34.000Then he just was reassigned because he didn't know technology.
00:07:38.000Then it went from, it had nothing to do with the fact that he didn't know technology.
00:07:41.000He was just moved because they had other duties.
00:07:43.000They got Valenzuela on that on the stand as well.
00:07:46.000Carrie Lake's team offered up dates that disputed that.
00:07:49.000So it was really a bunch of just hiding the ball the whole time.
00:07:57.000We're looking at in years past, the signature verification rejection rate has now gone to basically almost every signature gets approved.
00:08:06.000And boy, if you really wanted to do something sinister, if you were a bad guy, I'm not saying they did this, you would do everything you can to staff loyal Democrats on the desk that approved the signature verification.
00:08:17.000You would do everything you possibly could to nefariously try to put the people that are actually approving the signatures at the desk in Maricopa County, controlled by you.
00:08:26.000So I want to play a piece of tape here.
00:08:28.000We have a piece of tape from the trial itself.
00:08:33.000Maricopa's log file data shows that 11 of these signature verification workers approved 170,000 signatures at a rate of less than between 0 and 2.99 seconds with a 99.97% approval rating.
00:08:53.000That's not signature review, Your Honor.
00:08:56.000Simply flashing a signature on the screen, clicking a button, and moving on is not signature review.
00:09:03.000Okay, so what was the response from Hobbes?
00:09:05.000Was there any response from the government or Maricopa on that point?
00:09:10.000No, I believe that was from his closing arguments.
00:09:12.000I mean, their point the entire time was that Carrie Lake had to prove there was no signature verification done, no comparing done, that nobody followed the process.
00:09:20.000But that's not what the mandate came back down from the Supreme Court as.
00:09:25.000You, you know, they had Valazuela, who has done signature verification himself in the past, changing the number of seconds he said it took him to do signature verification.
00:10:08.000But when it came down to writing the opinion, it wasn't very fair at all, which was what led us to this, you know, the whole redo, for lack of a better word.
00:10:16.000I don't have high hopes, even though he appears very fair.
00:10:19.000I don't think that he's going to rule fair because anyone who did would rule to put this election aside and redo it.
00:10:28.000It takes two seconds just to load a page.
00:10:30.000There was somebody carte blanche just pushing a button and approving basically every so here's how it works, everybody.
00:10:36.000You have mass mail and ballots post-COVID.
00:10:39.000You have a bunch of mules and ballot chasers and clandestine subterranean activity by the Democrats that fill out as many ballots as possible and they don't even make the signatures approximated.
00:10:49.000Now, Tracy, here's an interesting question.
00:12:22.000Was there was no one watching the signature verification process?
00:12:26.000Well, I think if that were true, then we wouldn't have had the whistleblowers that came forward to speak with Carrie Lake's team this go-round, but we need more.
00:12:34.000And I don't think the RNC is doing a very good job in investing in our success in elections at all.
00:12:39.000That's a wildly underappreciated part of our strategy moving forward.
00:12:44.000Yeah, so let's kind of talk about this.
00:12:47.000I want to play another piece of tape here from the trial itself.
00:12:49.000And actually, let's get Carrie Lake talking to the gateway pundit.
00:12:54.000You know, one of the most shocking things to me is 270,000 ballots verified in less than three seconds each.
00:13:01.000We had truly one of the countries, basically one of the world's best experts on signature verification and handwriting say that that's humanly impossible.
00:13:11.000There aren't enough minutes in the day, seconds in the day to do that.
00:13:16.000And in this portion of our case, we're showing that mail-in ballots just aren't secure because the only security feature that they have, signature verification, is really a sham.
00:14:09.000If they followed their procedures at all, if their procedures were in place and we had honest brokers, it would be better than what's going on now.
00:14:17.000But as we can see from videotape and also documents and logs that were finally provided after almost a year of waiting for them, they're not doing it.
00:14:26.000They're not following their procedure.
00:14:29.000And they're making it so that a Katie Hobbs and Adrian Fontes are the ones who are running elections in Arizona because if they get Arizona, they get the Electoral College votes.
00:16:30.000And I mean, you as a donor should sue, honestly, because you went for voter integrity.
00:16:36.000I don't understand why we're not suing.
00:16:38.000I mean, mass mail and balloting went across the board.
00:16:41.000This is very, the dramatic increase in the raw number of absentee ballots cast was accompanied by a significant decrease in the absentee rejection rate.
00:16:51.000So you have increase of this and decrease there.
00:16:54.000That's from MIT, by the way, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
00:18:15.000My fellow Americans, this is your all-time favorite president, Donald J. Trump.
00:18:20.000Over the last 40 years, I've corresponded with some of the most incredible people, from presidents to kings and queens, and from Hollywood stars to business titans.
00:18:30.000My new coffee table book, Letters to Trump, published by Winning Team Publishing, features some of these never-before-seen letters.
00:20:08.000And these are people that now say they hate him, but it's an interesting window to show that Donald Trump was kind of the pinnacle of American culture, still is.
00:20:20.000But to get an insight, I mean, just walk us through some of the letters that were the most eye-opening for you as you put together this book.
00:20:26.000I mean, it was incredible to see, in a sense, there's this great hypocrisy because everybody who was anybody in Hollywood wrote him a letter and they all loved him.
00:20:36.000There's a letter from Alec Baldwin, and Alec Baldwin writes to him, basically saying, you know, you're the most generous and kind man.
00:22:17.000And I think to this day, one of the comments that he wrote about McCain is he actually gave him the world's longest funeral, 11 days, and he authorized that from the White House.
00:22:27.000But it's, you know, you got to get the book, 45.
00:22:30.000No, but unlike his wars, it was just like his wars that never ended.
00:22:36.000Just like his wars, he had a funeral that never ended.
00:22:39.000And I mean, his incredible letters from the Bushes, from both of them.
00:22:43.000The senior letter, the senior Bush, his commentary is he kept talking about a thousand points of light, and nobody knew what the hell he's talking about.
00:23:55.000What kind of feedback did you get on your book after?
00:23:58.000Oh, I mean, well, look, it actually matures nicer with time.
00:24:01.000It's like a fine wine, only gets better with time, right?
00:24:04.000And we knew that when we published it together.
00:24:06.000And the feedback I'm getting, you know, from a lot of people is: Charlie, I disagreed with the title, but I liked you enough to read it and you persuaded me.
00:24:14.000That's what we were going after, right?
00:24:15.000Because when we put together, you know, because you could write any book and we said, hey, how are we going to do this in a persuasive way?
00:24:21.000You know, and what we did with the college scam was write it as an indictment, right?
00:24:25.000A 10-count indictment against the college cartel.
00:24:28.000And I mean, the great turning point, if you will, was Sergio, I got more compliments in a two-week period back when Stanford and that whole law school thing happened.
00:24:38.000Remember that happened about a month or two ago?
00:24:41.000Where the law students start heckling the judge, a federal judge, and then the Dean of Diversity comes in and defends it, a federal judge, and the dean says, oh, you're triggering to the students.
00:24:55.000I mean, at that point, how could you not believe it's a scam?
00:24:58.000Then we have the UC Davis situation where I went to go speak at Davis and they come with weapons and they come with all this.
00:25:03.000And then the Riley Gaines situation at Turning Point USA, where she goes to speak at San Francisco State University and they hold her hostage and they kidnap her.
00:25:12.000I think the argument that Sergio, I have to say, when we first published this last summer, it was a little provocative.
00:25:18.000I don't know if it's as provocative now.
00:25:19.000People are like, yeah, of course it's a scam.
00:25:21.000I think we moved you over to the window.
00:26:10.000It's an indictment against Joe Biden and what he has done, whether it's open borders or law enforcement defunding or just these crazies that are running our country.
00:26:22.000They're literally and figuratively crimes against America.
00:26:29.000There's an entire chapter on Majorca's.
00:26:32.000Articles of impeachment were just filed against him last week.
00:26:35.000So it's an incredible book to also get.
00:26:37.000Well, and it's been, you know, I've kind of seen this firsthand.
00:26:40.000And Sergio, you deserve a lot of credit.
00:26:41.000And it's just so impressive to look at the authors.
00:26:43.000I'm honored to be one of them on 45books.com.
00:26:46.000You got President Trump, Judge Janine, myself, Carrie Lake, Don Jr., Marjorie Taylor Greene.
00:26:51.000Can you just talk philosophically a little bit?
00:26:53.000You're a new shop, but you're really disrupting the traditional publishing world.
00:26:57.000Talk about, was there a concern that you had that the traditional publishing world was a little bit just politically correct, not as friendly to conservatives?
00:27:07.000I mean, because now you've kind of become the desired place for conservative writers.
00:29:15.000NAD is a precursor for your body to be able to create ATP, which is basically the life force of everything that you do.
00:29:22.000And look, there's a lot of people out there that are promising energy and doing all this, but go do some research on NAD and go see actually how incredibly important it is for high performance to be able to go actually get it to the next level.
00:30:05.000I eat well and do other things as well.
00:30:08.000But if you look at NADH, especially when it combines with CoQ10 and marine collagen, it boosts your body's cellular function.
00:30:15.000I would never tell you guys to go do something I myself did not do.
00:30:18.000And Strong Cell has been able to put together a scientific breakthrough in cellular health replenishment that combines NADH, CoQ10, and marine collagen.
00:30:27.000When you combine them together, you get mental clarity.
00:30:44.000I'm talking about overall health from the cellular level.
00:30:46.000NADH has been called the anti-aging enzyme that helps with so many issues like brain fog, short-term memory loss, blood pressure, heart disease, blood sugar retention, and so much more.
00:33:12.000Conservatives are doing better on social media, doing better on podcasting, doing better on radio, doing better on television, doing better on book sales.
00:35:40.000And so it's a book that if you're interested in where she came from, where she's going, what happened in Arizona, there's some incredible stories that have never been told before.
00:36:06.000I want to remind you to get your tickets to our Young Women's Leadership Summit.
