00:01:12.000 Everybody, this is a great week.

00:01:15.000 It's felt like longer than a week, hasn't it?

00:01:17.000 But in a good way.

00:01:19.000 Longer and shorter.

00:01:20.000 Like, it's crazy to me that we're only two nights removed from...

00:01:23.000 It has not been 48 hours since the call.

00:01:25.000 That's crazy.

00:01:26.000 You want to know something crazier?

00:01:27.000 It hasn't been 48 hours since polls closed.

00:01:29.000 Yeah.

00:01:29.000 48 hours ago is like when we saw the early vote from Florida.

00:01:33.000 I literally all day long thought today was Friday.

00:01:36.000 All day long.

00:01:37.000 It's just unbelievable.

00:01:38.000 It's kind of weird because we kind of had two days and a day on Wednesday.

00:01:41.000 Because it happens when you stay up all night, sleep four hours, right?

00:01:44.000 Right, Jack?

00:01:45.000 You know what I mean?

00:01:45.000 So it's like you kind of was all like two.

00:01:48.000 Because the overnight was kind of a night.

00:01:50.000 It was like Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.

00:01:52.000 Exactly.

00:01:53.000 It was like all one thing.

00:01:56.000 Exactly.

00:01:56.000 Have you guys slept yet?

00:01:58.000 I crashed hard last night.

00:02:01.000 After the stream, I went home, out, and then I just woke up like 40 minutes before the show.

00:02:05.000 It was funny.

00:02:06.000 You guys were talking about that in the chat, and I was like, oh, I'm glad I wasn't the only one because I literally felt like I woke up way late because I've been getting about five.

00:02:13.000 Wait, so I did too.

00:02:14.000 I did too because I got home home and actually slept in my own bed.

00:02:18.000 Yeah, last night for the first night in I don't even know how when.

00:02:21.000 So on my MyPillow, on my mattress topper, on my Giza dream sheets.

00:02:26.000 And no, we have all of them.

00:02:27.000 We love them.

00:02:29.000 But it was like my body just stopped.

00:02:32.000 If I wanted to stay up longer, I couldn't because it was just like...

00:02:37.000 You know, the mind-matter transfer or whatever, and my mind-body split, body took over, and then I couldn't get up this morning.

00:02:44.000 Like, I was not getting up.

00:02:46.000 It just wasn't happening.

00:02:47.000 So, you know, I, like, I give my kids a hug, and I was like, yeah, I'll see you later, guys.

00:02:52.000 Are we not getting data tonight, Tyler?

00:02:54.000 No, no, I just had an idea that just came to me that's like a genius idea, and I gotta text it to you.

00:02:59.000 Pennsylvania, though.

00:03:00.000 Oh, yeah, yeah, so anyway, it's Thoughtcrime Thursday, but it's also election week, so we gotta do both.

00:03:04.000 Yeah, we're gonna hit everything.

00:03:05.000 We're gonna hit everything.

00:03:06.000 So, just first, Jack, the good news out of Pennsylvania.

00:03:10.000 Yeah, so that which was prophesied about 24 hours ago has come to pass.

00:03:17.000 So here's what I said.

00:03:19.000 What did I say last night?

00:03:20.000 That we're going to get some more drops out of Cambria County and then AP is going to call it.

00:03:24.000 And it took a while.

00:03:25.000 It took a lot longer than we thought.

00:03:26.000 Initially, we thought it may be 10 p.m.

00:03:28.000 last night.

00:03:29.000 Then we thought maybe 8 a.m.

00:03:31.000 this morning, Eastern Time.

00:03:33.000 Didn't happen, didn't happen, didn't happen.

00:03:35.000 Then finally, basically this afternoon, or I think around 4 p.m.

00:03:38.000 Eastern, some of the drops started coming in.

00:03:41.000 And this is Cambria County.

00:03:42.000 This is that western county of Pennsylvania.

00:03:44.000 That's a strong, like, 70-30 Trump County.

00:03:46.000 And they got a big drop in.

00:03:49.000 Not completely, though.

00:03:50.000 It's still only about two-thirds of the county has come in.

00:03:54.000 this was the one where they had to extend the times because of the scanner issue that they had out there.

00:04:00.000 Anyway, long story short, a bunch of Trump votes came in.

00:04:03.000 They were for McCormick as well.

00:04:05.000 The margin was very favorable to Dave McCormick.

00:04:08.000 And the math is the math.

00:04:10.000 And Philadelphia has finished their count.

00:04:13.000 So the AP did make the call for Dave McCormick this afternoon.

00:04:17.000 However, a comma, people like John Fetterman, people like Josh Shapiro, and then of course, Bob Casey himself have not conceded the race.

00:04:28.000 And this is the big issue.

00:04:30.000 Bob Casey is being an election denier?

00:04:33.000 A true election denier.

00:04:35.000 Indeed.

00:04:36.000 I hope Mark Elias tries to disbar everyone on Bob Casey's campaign.

00:04:41.000 No, Mark Elias is out there too.

00:04:42.000 Oh, are we going to have to disbar Mark Elias?

00:04:44.000 Oh no.

00:04:45.000 Yeah, let me pull the tweet up.

00:04:48.000 We've got to start filing sanctions.

00:04:51.000 Against Mark Elias?

00:04:52.000 Against everybody.

00:04:53.000 I mean, that's all I could think about all day long today. 0.94

00:04:55.000 How many sanctions can we file in four years against liberal, crazy people?

00:05:02.000 Tyler was texting me all day, like, Jack, sanctions, sanctions, sanctions, these guys, sanction those guys.

00:05:09.000 I just woke up just saying sanctions this morning.

00:05:12.000 There you go.

00:05:13.000 Mark Elias, the Pennsylvania Senate race is not over more soon.

00:05:17.000 And he said that about an hour after...

00:05:21.000 That guy Jarvis is in the comments is going, Mark, Trump stole the election.

00:05:28.000 You have to do something, Mark.

00:05:30.000 You have to stop him.

00:05:32.000 Sanctions.

00:05:34.000 It's so delicious.

00:05:35.000 Oh, by the way, the left is like, they're in full election denial mode right now.

00:05:39.000 I'm screenshotting everything.

00:05:40.000 It's so amazing, the ones who are just like, how is it possible?

00:05:43.000 It's also worse than anything we saw from the right in 2020.

00:05:46.000 It's so great.

00:05:48.000 They're just like, how is it possible that we could have got this many votes four years ago?

00:05:52.000 It's been...

00:05:53.000 Oh! 0.60

00:05:54.000 Wait, hold on.

00:05:56.000 We're only on Rumble right now, so we can speak candidly?

00:05:58.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:05:58.000 Wait, you mean that 2020 wasn't legit?

00:06:01.000 Yeah, it's amazing.

00:06:03.000 It's kind of like the greatest self-own ever.

00:06:05.000 It is!

00:06:07.000 It's so funny.

00:06:08.000 It's big picture.

00:06:09.000 You know how I am.

00:06:11.000 I'm not as much of a skeptic of 2020 as everyone else is, but what's great is in the public imagination, this just totally discredits it.

00:06:20.000 Either it was outright fraud or...

00:06:21.000 Or it was rigged in some other manner, as we've discussed about.

00:06:25.000 It just is now not a legitimate win in people's eyes.

00:06:29.000 Like, oh, wow, Trump won twice in a row, and then this weird anomaly happened in 2020.

00:06:35.000 Now I've seen people say, oh, but it was COVID. The left, literally people were tweeting today that we needed to have another COVID. No, it's even crazier than that.

00:06:45.000 We need another pandemic to prevent Trump.

00:06:46.000 You'll see people on the left who think that turnout was reduced in 2020.

00:06:50.000 They'll be like, she got 81 million votes in a pandemic?

00:06:55.000 When he could have had even more.

00:06:56.000 And now we have no pandemic and he had less.

00:06:59.000 This is literally their thought process.

00:07:01.000 And it's even better because one of the people freaking out was the Mueller she wrote person. 0.93

00:07:06.000 So at this point, she has this name for her dumb podcast that's like 18 insane news obsessions ago. 0.97

00:07:14.000 Incredibly stale and out of date. 0.99

00:07:17.000 Still has her dumb detective logo. 1.00

00:07:22.000 So bad. 0.99

00:07:23.000 So funny.

00:07:24.000 I know what you're talking about.

00:07:25.000 It's the Esquire.

00:07:26.000 Is this the one that the Esquire?

00:07:28.000 I think so.

00:07:29.000 There's this one woman who is like, I am a certified lawyer. 1.00

00:07:32.000 I will take the lawsuits and reverse this and Kamala will be president. 0.99

00:07:36.000 And she's like actually a bar like certified lawyer.

00:07:39.000 I got to find out who this is.

00:07:41.000 No, the left wing election denial is the best I've ever seen.

00:07:44.000 So it's really something.

00:07:47.000 And so, okay, Tyler, we won't spend too much time on this because this stream will live beyond and post as a podcast, but just as it's right now, Cary Lake is 52,000 votes in the hole.

00:07:55.000 Yeah?

00:07:56.000 So Cary Lake right now is 52,000 down.

00:07:59.000 Totally plenty of votes out there still.

00:08:01.000 There's a million, just shy of a million votes, we believe.

00:08:05.000 I just sent you over the graphic.

00:08:06.000 We can talk about it later on the stream.

00:08:08.000 Beyond this, but this is, we have basically, just for everyone listening at home right now, we have 500,000 or so ballots left in Maricopa County and the rest are across the rest of the state.

00:08:20.000 The only ugly part outside of the rest of the state is Pima, which so far has been getting offset and then some by the remainder of the rural counties.

00:08:31.000 So the idea right now is basically if you can break even or do a little bit better in Maricopa County.

00:08:36.000 If she starts winning 51 or 52% of Maricopa, that would be great.

00:08:39.000 Yeah, if she does that, she puts herself in a really good position.

00:08:42.000 If she starts losing by two or three points in Maricopa, we're going to have a problem.

00:08:46.000 It's a real problem.

00:08:48.000 But look, what they're saying is, because Maricopa County makes his wait around all day long for some reason to issue any kind of drops.

00:08:57.000 It's so dysfunctional.

00:08:59.000 Charlie, it's been 24 hours and they still haven't dropped anything.

00:09:02.000 They were supposed to drop it an hour ago.

00:09:05.000 What kind of votes are these?

00:09:08.000 These are all early mail ballots.

00:09:10.000 So they're mail ballots that came allegedly on Thursday and Friday of last week.

00:09:18.000 We're supposed to be getting about 200,000 to 250,000 of these.

00:09:21.000 So that may be Thursday, Friday, Saturday, maybe even Sunday.

00:09:25.000 And then my guess is that they're going to do either a combination of Sunday, Monday, and then Tuesday for the last drop, which is the other 250,000.

00:09:35.000 But people are already speculating that all of a sudden there might appear more ballots.

00:09:40.000 There might be additional ballots.

00:09:42.000 And we remember this from two years ago and four years ago.

00:09:44.000 It was like, we thought they were done, and then all of a sudden they're like, oh, actually, we just found these 300,000 ballots, so we still have to count, and it's going to go another week.

00:09:50.000 I think I found my favorite example of how bad the left has gotten at this whole we should count ballots thing.

00:09:58.000 There's a house race in California, the 12th District.

00:10:00.000 It's Oakland.

00:10:01.000 They have only 28% of their ballots counted.

00:10:05.000 We don't have the A's there anymore, okay?

00:10:07.000 Moneyball doesn't work.

00:10:08.000 That's unbelievable.

00:10:09.000 They don't have calculators.

00:10:10.000 28%.

00:10:10.000 The Oakland A's took all the calculators out of Oakland, and they took them to Vegas.

00:10:17.000 Or Sacramento.

00:10:18.000 By Thanksgiving, they'll have half the votes counted.

00:10:21.000 What in the world?

00:10:23.000 But here's the funniest part on Twitter.

00:10:25.000 I'm noticing this on Twitter, and maybe it's a little bit of an echo chamber-ish now.

00:10:29.000 But I think there's still liberals on there.

00:10:31.000 People, normal people are going, like, normal, like, normie, just regular, average people are going, this shouldn't work this way.

00:10:41.000 We get it.

00:10:41.000 Byron York is just dunking, and Garrett Archer is on Twitter being like, no, you don't understand the rules!

00:10:49.000 Byron York is very establishment regime.

00:10:53.000 And then he was like, hey, why is this?

00:10:55.000 And Garrett Archer's like, you don't understand the way we do things here.

00:10:57.000 It's supposed to be long.

00:10:59.000 And it's like, guys, no.

00:11:01.000 I was the county chair 10 years ago.

00:11:02.000 I was a 27-year-old or whatever I was when I was the county chair.

00:11:06.000 Over 10 years ago.

00:11:08.000 27-year-old.

00:11:09.000 And it didn't work this way.

00:11:11.000 It was actually so much better because they did precinct tabulation.

00:11:15.000 Got there.

00:11:16.000 People were like, oh, okay.

00:11:16.000 It was fast.

00:11:17.000 I can feel good and go to sleep and feel good that we kind of know what's going on here.

00:11:21.000 Of course, there was leftovers.

00:11:22.000 But they worked really diligently to get through them.

00:11:25.000 This is like intentional...

00:11:28.000 Civic terrorism.

00:11:29.000 I think we called it two years ago.

00:11:31.000 It was civic terrorism.

00:11:32.000 It really is, though.

00:11:33.000 This is civic terrorism.

00:11:34.000 It's just bad for everybody involved, though.

00:11:36.000 Everyone.

00:11:37.000 Everyone.

00:11:38.000 It's basically just like...

00:11:40.000 You feel like...

00:11:41.000 Because you're imprisoned in this whole system, right?

00:11:44.000 You're imprisoned.

00:11:44.000 This is one of the things that the average citizen...

00:11:48.000 In America, you have control over almost everything in your life.

00:11:51.000 This is right up there with taxes.

00:11:53.000 And you have no control.

00:11:53.000 Mm-hmm.

00:11:55.000 And so when people get involved and then they start messing with things that you have no control over, you feel very much like you're in prison.

00:12:05.000 And that's what's so sick, I think, about this whole thing.

00:12:08.000 It's so anti-American. 0.89

00:12:10.000 These civic terrorists that live for this, they get off on it.

00:12:14.000 They love it.

00:12:15.000 This is what they live for.

00:12:18.000 So much that the guy lost.

00:12:20.000 He couldn't take it anymore.

00:12:22.000 Steven Richard deletes his Twitter today.

00:12:25.000 Are you serious?

00:12:26.000 Did you not know that?

00:12:27.000 I thought he blocked people.

00:12:29.000 I know he deleted it.

00:12:30.000 He deleted his Twitter.

00:12:31.000 And so everyone's going, I don't know about Carrie Lake.

00:12:34.000 I don't know.

00:12:35.000 If Carrie Lake wasn't doing so well, I don't know if Steven Richard would be deleting his Twitter.

00:12:39.000 Yep.

00:12:40.000 So it's a good sign.

00:12:42.000 It's a little bit of a white pill in this moment.

00:12:45.000 But this is how bad of public servants you have.

00:12:49.000 He can't even handle seeing this thing through in a world that he helped create.

00:12:55.000 That's right.

00:12:56.000 That's weird.

00:12:57.000 That is the hallmark of...

00:13:01.000 Like, the Soviet era, is it not, Jack? 0.92

00:13:04.000 Like, these people, like, finding themselves in predicaments they created for themselves within...

00:13:09.000 It was interesting about liberals is that they...

00:13:12.000 Yeah, it's like, and Marxists in general, is that they love government, but they're actually, like, not very good at it.

00:13:17.000 Because keep in mind, these are the type of people who couldn't actually do anything in the real world.

00:13:21.000 They don't have any competency, and they're...

00:13:23.000 I literally wrote a whole book about this.

00:13:26.000 That they're not competent to actually do anything, so their only quality is loyalty to the party itself.

00:13:32.000 And as such, you're just not going to find competent people.

00:13:37.000 I mean, Blake, we've talked about the Singapore model of civic service before, and I really would love to see America eventually get to that point as a way of actually hiring competent people in government and also keeping the government as small as possible and keeping the activists as far away from possible as getting there.

00:13:55.000 Now let's talk about our Project 2025.

00:13:58.000 Yeah, yeah, let's hit that.

00:14:00.000 It's back, everybody!

00:14:01.000 Charlie, no!

00:14:02.000 No!

00:14:03.000 What are you doing?

00:14:04.000 No!

00:14:05.000 Wait, is there an election next week?

00:14:09.000 It's an election in two years.

00:14:12.000 No, we have our own Project 2025.

00:14:15.000 That we do.

00:14:16.000 So we want to go around the horn of what we really want to see Trump do?

00:14:19.000 Yeah, I think so.

00:14:21.000 Yeah, like, what's our...

00:14:22.000 Yeah, our 2025, our month one, our first hundred days agenda, Trump administration comes in.

00:14:29.000 There's stuff you can do.

00:14:30.000 What do we want it to be?

00:14:31.000 I just realized it's post-election and we're on thought crime.

00:14:35.000 No, it's just like unbelievable.

00:14:36.000 You can say whatever you want.

00:14:38.000 And we won!

00:14:39.000 Thought Crime Thursday is like Christmas.

00:14:40.000 It will always come.

00:14:41.000 And we won!

00:14:42.000 Thought Crime Thursday is unstoppable.

00:14:44.000 This episode, we're going to have to live over the rest of our lives.

00:14:49.000 If Josh Shapiro had been the vice presidential pick, the show would have been very different right now.

00:14:53.000 This is like 18 years worth of Media Matters content tonight.

00:14:57.000 I mean, you guys go first.

00:15:00.000 By the way, it is an all-you-can-eat buffet right now at the federal government.

00:15:05.000 Can we recap real quick?

00:15:07.000 And I thought, so Laurie Roberts, who writes for the Arizona Republic, she hates us. 1.00

00:15:12.000 She hates every conservative. 0.82

00:15:13.000 She wrote this article that said today, op-ed.

00:15:17.000 Was I mentioned or no?

00:15:18.000 No, no, no.

00:15:18.000 The op-ed was, the Democrats should be sending Kyrsten Sinema a thank you package right now because she protected the filibuster.

00:15:27.000 Can you imagine if the Democrats would have eliminated the filibuster last year?

00:15:31.000 Now, where it wouldn't be coming back, and then we would have a Freedom Caucus-controlled house, no filibuster that the Democrats employed, and Donald Trump.

00:15:43.000 But now we're not going to get rid of the filibuster.

00:15:45.000 It's terrible.

00:15:46.000 Yeah.

00:15:47.000 I have mixed feelings on that.

00:15:49.000 Well, I know you do.

00:15:50.000 Oh, of course.

00:15:51.000 I have mixed feelings on everything.

00:15:51.000 All right, Blake.

00:15:52.000 All right, so I'm going to Mar-a-Lago.

00:15:53.000 I'm going to hang out.

00:15:54.000 I'm going to be doing the whole program.

00:15:55.000 We're taking the whole machine to Palm Beach for a week.

00:15:57.000 The machinery is setting up as a beachhead.

00:16:00.000 What should I try to get done?

00:16:02.000 What should we try to get done?

00:16:05.000 Man, you're right.

00:16:06.000 It is a big menu.

00:16:07.000 You go.

00:16:08.000 I'll be right back.

00:16:08.000 I've got to take this.

00:16:09.000 Yeah, of course.

00:16:09.000 Well, Charlie runs off.

00:16:11.000 But I can tell you, Tyler, and then you can tell him.

00:16:11.000 I guess I can't tell.

00:16:14.000 And Jack, too.

00:16:14.000 I feel like you come out like a cannonball on your biggest promises.

00:16:19.000 I think some of the stuff you can do is you can try to secure the border right away.

00:16:23.000 You just bring back every policy that worked that you figured out.

00:16:26.000 A lot of stuff took us till the very end of Trump's administration to really start figuring out how you durably secure the border.

00:16:33.000 Get that all back in place.

00:16:35.000 Put it in right away.

00:16:36.000 And you can make a big deal of announcing it.

00:16:38.000 Like, oh, yeah, that program we have that you can sign up on that app to come to America.

00:16:43.000 Yeah, we're shutting that down.

00:16:44.000 We're deleting that app from the app store even.

00:16:48.000 And you make a showy thing of that.

00:16:50.000 That would be a great way to start.

00:16:52.000 I think you can make a great show of obviously repealing a bunch of bad Biden executive orders on all sorts of things.

00:17:00.000 Maybe even revive stuff that was late in the Trump administration and that got taken back.

00:17:05.000 So bring back right away that executive order he was doing with education where you can't basically do discrimination based...

00:17:15.000 Novel idea.

00:17:15.000 You can't discriminate based on race, and that includes white people.

00:17:19.000 And start applying that to...

00:17:21.000 Have that in place right away to apply it to colleges so that it can start having an impact by your third year, by your fourth year.

00:17:27.000 Really forces behavioral changes.

00:17:27.000 Totally.

00:17:29.000 Yeah, that would be a massive shift.

00:17:31.000 Jack, what do you think?

00:17:32.000 So, Machiavelli writes...

00:17:35.000 In The Prince, very famously, for the need for swiftness and bold action, so that if you're going to make new changes, you make the new rules right away.

00:17:45.000 You fire people who need to be fired right away.

00:17:49.000 I mean, I would just start with firing all sorts of people at the Pentagon, over Afghanistan.

00:17:55.000 I would start with firing the heads of every single intel agency.

00:18:00.000 I mean, just clean sweep.

00:18:02.000 Just clean sweep over all of these.

00:18:03.000 Now some of that stuff is stuff that would happen anyway.

00:18:05.000 Then, look, you got to do the mass deportations.

00:18:08.000 You just absolutely have to do the mass deportations.

00:18:11.000 There is a mandate to do this now because this was very clearly the top campaign promise made by President Trump.

00:18:20.000 So was that in addition to the tariffs on China?

00:18:23.000 So it's the mass deportations, it's the tariffs on China, and I'm talking like first 24 hours.

00:18:29.000 We need to see these things done right away.

00:18:31.000 And then on, I guess, like a more wonky policy level, Schedule F. So Schedule F gives you the ability not only to fire the people that are political appointees, but anybody else in the federal government.

00:18:42.000 And as Blake was saying, this is one of those things that came up, I think, like literally in October of 2020, that just took effect when President Trump You know, when the election happened in 2020, so it wasn't really enough time to do much about it, but it's just something that should immediately be brought back.

00:19:03.000 Schedule F, have the entire federal government in there, and honestly, and I'm just gonna say it, you know, anything that can be done to Look, Steve Bannon goes on trial in a month here in New York City, and anything that can be done to get Juan Rashan to drop those charges, to say, obviously, this was a political witch hunt to begin with, I think that needs to be done.

00:19:29.000 I have a really controversial one that not everybody's going to like.

00:19:34.000 You?

00:19:34.000 Controversial?

00:19:35.000 How could you?

00:19:36.000 So I think to appease and, you know, we have all this going on on the pro-life front because it's not going to end, that we should make it illegal to go over state lines to get an abortion.

00:19:57.000 You can move there.

00:19:58.000 Wouldn't you need a...

00:19:59.000 Let me give you some thoughts, though.

00:20:01.000 Because that gets into federalism issues, wouldn't you have a...

00:20:05.000 A constitutional issue with that?

00:20:07.000 I don't.

00:20:08.000 But let me...

00:20:09.000 Let me tell you...

00:20:11.000 I'm not saying that you do.

00:20:11.000 I'm just saying...

00:20:12.000 No, Blake, I'm just saying that wouldn't they bring that up under interstate commerce or something?

00:20:16.000 Everything that Donald Trump's going to do, he's going to get...

00:20:19.000 But here's what my thinking is.

00:20:21.000 Let me tell the political reason.

00:20:23.000 Let me tell you the political reason for this.

00:20:25.000 They'll force Democrats out of our even purplish states. 0.99

00:20:31.000 It'll automatically because they made such a big deal about it.

00:20:34.000 It's not even about the issue of prosecuting people who cross state lines.

00:20:41.000 It's because I hear what you're saying, Jack.

00:20:45.000 It's the pure Politico in me saying if we did that, what would naturally happen and it would destroy the Democrats is everyone would move to California and New York.

00:20:58.000 That's one possibility.

00:21:00.000 I would worry about the other possibility, which is we have gotten our first kind of pro-life state-level wins in Florida and South Dakota.

00:21:08.000 And I suspect part of the reason we were able to do that is people could justify people who really want one could go to another state.

00:21:16.000 See, this would be the argument, though.

00:21:18.000 But now, one, we'll lose those votes from now on.

00:21:22.000 So we'll have worse laws about pro-life level at the state level.

00:21:27.000 And we'll also lose those votes from now on.

00:21:32.000 What will you lose?

00:21:33.000 We'll probably damage ourselves.

00:21:34.000 Well, let's say if we did that policy and we brought that Florida bill up again, I think it would pass this time.

00:21:40.000 That's what I'm saying could happen.

00:21:43.000 Yeah, but they already passed the law.

00:21:44.000 Well, they passed the law, but they could vote on the measure again.

00:21:47.000 Like, they could just try the exact same amendment.

00:21:49.000 But it would already be too late, because everyone left.

00:21:52.000 But I just don't know that that many would leave right away.

00:21:55.000 I think you'd still have...

00:21:56.000 Blake, they made abortion their number one issue, bigger than anything else.

00:21:59.000 True enough, true enough.

00:22:01.000 It's so big, it would force them to either have to stop talking about abortion, or everyone would have to move.

00:22:09.000 I'm telling you, I'm just saying it's political jujitsu.

00:22:13.000 And it would force all the...

00:22:16.000 What crazy ideas do I have to push for this weekend?

00:22:20.000 Don't push for this one.

00:22:21.000 But this is what I told you before.

00:22:25.000 It's a purely political move, but it's make it federal crime to cross state lines to get an abortion. 1.00

00:22:34.000 And the outcome of this is that it would force all the Democrats that believe this is their number one issue to move immediately out of purple on red states.

00:22:44.000 Interesting.

00:22:44.000 So the red states would become redder, like what's happened in Florida already, to that point.

00:22:49.000 And then the purple states, where this is so important, where they can no longer, they'd just be like, this is my number one, I believe, in women's rights. 0.95

00:22:56.000 Okay, well then move over the border from Nevada and Arizona and live in California.

00:23:00.000 So let me tell you the couple I will be pushing for.

00:23:02.000 We're getting rid of affirmative action in federal hiring practices by executive order.

00:23:06.000 Well, not me, but if we can convince the president, meaning we're going to push for that.

00:23:10.000 Vivek pinpointed this.

00:23:11.000 By executive order, affirmative action, it's going to be merit-based hiring in the federal government.

00:23:16.000 Number two, the Presidential Reorganization Act will allow us to fire civil service employees at will.

00:23:23.000 We should bring back a civil service exam, too.

00:23:26.000 That's it.

00:23:26.000 I love that.

00:23:27.000 We had one.

00:23:28.000 The Carter administration had one and got rid of it on Reagan, and they never got a new one.

00:23:32.000 You want a super thought-crimey one that we won't be able to get done?

00:23:37.000 Privatize the TSA. Oh, yeah.

00:23:39.000 That would be amazing.

00:23:40.000 Trump should have run on that.

00:23:41.000 If Trump ran on privatizing the TSA, he'd have won New Jersey.

00:23:46.000 Did he ever bring up the shoes?

00:23:47.000 I know they were talking about him saying that you could leave your shoes on.

00:23:51.000 I can't remember if he ever actually said it.

00:23:53.000 What?

00:23:54.000 Trump just not having to take your shoes off. 0.99

00:23:56.000 It's ridiculous. 0.94

00:23:56.000 Just come out and be like, we're making it the 90s again. 0.94

00:23:59.000 The 90s again.

00:24:01.000 If you privatize the TSA to a private service and you say you cannot allow someone to wait in line more than 15 minutes, figure it out, come up with a screening.

00:24:09.000 By the way, it'll be safer.

00:24:10.000 It'll be better.

00:24:11.000 And yeah, I mean, current TSA agents, you can do it in a way where they can apply for jobs with this private so that, you know, you don't have like a ton of people losing jobs.

00:24:18.000 But it has to be merit, right?

00:24:19.000 So you got to prove that you can do the job.

00:24:21.000 So you have some sort of deal with whatever private firm that all the, you know, try to fill the positions with current federal employees, meaning, you know, like a one-to-one.

00:24:29.000 And that's it.

00:24:30.000 And then you just say the TSA is now privatized as a federal contractor.

00:24:33.000 You have a two-year contract with the federal government, and we're going to independently audit you of how many bogey weapons make it through.

00:24:41.000 So you go through, like, Denver Airport with, like, a fake gun, you know, as an auditor.

00:24:46.000 Can you make it through?

00:24:46.000 You know what I mean?

00:24:47.000 You audit.

00:24:47.000 You can even do it on an airport-by-airport basis to encourage competition.

00:24:51.000 Yes, and then I'm telling you right now, privatizing the TSA will go down as one of the great, like, people will see a before and after, and a Republican will be able to run, right, Tyler, for re-election, be like, I got wait lines at the airport down by 90%.

00:25:05.000 It's safer than ever before.

00:25:07.000 I'm not kidding.

00:25:08.000 Like, this is a real thing that you want to talk about.

00:25:10.000 It's better for the country.

00:25:12.000 Jack, don't you agree?

00:25:13.000 I mean, how many times we spend time in airports?

00:25:15.000 Like, Tyler, it's been, I've probably wasted a year of my life.

00:25:19.000 Wait, wait, Charlie.

00:25:20.000 So what are the logistics of this?

00:25:22.000 Because people look at TSA as a quote-unquote security force.

00:25:26.000 You know, technically they're law enforcement.

00:25:28.000 So how do you have private law enforcement?

00:25:30.000 Well, first of all, you could still have TSA agents supervise.

00:25:33.000 I mean, you could still have TSA agents enforce the violation.

00:25:36.000 It's no different than you have, like, a private security firm at the Department of Justice that makes sure that...

00:25:42.000 Or, like, the janitors at the Department of Justice, right?

00:25:45.000 There's private security all over the government.

00:25:47.000 Yeah, of course.

00:25:48.000 I mean, and you have private contractors all over the government, right?

00:25:50.000 It's not, like, some unknown thing.

00:25:52.000 We have private prisons, by the way.

00:25:53.000 That's a great example.

00:25:54.000 So you just say that the 99% of the work...

00:25:57.000 By the way, the speed, the efficiency...

00:26:00.000 We'll all go on.

00:26:01.000 And by the way, tell the company that gets it, and Blake is right, you can open it up for five different contracts and say, okay, you guys get O'Hare, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Cleveland, and Detroit.

00:26:10.000 You guys get Atlanta, Hartsfield, Orlando, Miami.

00:26:14.000 You guys get Phoenix, LA, and Denver.

00:26:16.000 We're going to see who actually does the best job over three years, and whoever does gets the big daddy federal contract.

00:26:22.000 By the way, just so we're clear, the TSA budget right now is $11 billion.

00:26:28.000 That's insane, okay?

00:26:30.000 Like, insane.

00:26:31.000 You want to talk about the Department of Government Efficiency?

00:26:33.000 By the way, just so we're clear, part of your airline ticket goes to the TSA. Like, that's on top.

00:26:40.000 Like, there's like a $25...

00:26:42.000 You guys know that, right?

00:26:43.000 There's a $25 search charge.

00:26:44.000 How does Clear work?

00:26:46.000 Clear is a separate thing through the Department of Homeland Security where they take your biometrics.

00:26:52.000 I think it's really creepy.

00:26:53.000 Now, Cliff...

00:26:54.000 Right, but are they contractors?

00:26:58.000 I think they are.

00:27:00.000 I'm going to ask right now, which is, it's a private membership program that allows members to speed up.

00:27:07.000 Let me see.

00:27:09.000 So basically, it's like what you're talking about, basically.

00:27:14.000 Yes, I'm trying to see.

00:27:15.000 It's actually, you're right, Clear Me is not a federal government website.

00:27:17.000 It is a private company.

00:27:19.000 You're right.

00:27:20.000 Clear is a private company.

00:27:21.000 Yeah, Clear's private.

00:27:22.000 So yeah, this is not that crazy.

00:27:24.000 It's already there.

00:27:24.000 It's already halfway there.

00:27:25.000 Yeah, it's already kind of, what I'm saying is this is already kind of in service.

00:27:30.000 It's just, we call it Clear, but you see them, they're not in every airport.

00:27:33.000 They're in like, let's see, 55 plus airports, stadiums, and other venues.

00:27:38.000 Yeah.

00:27:40.000 Yeah, and it's privately used.

00:27:43.000 We're on Thoughtcrime, right?

00:27:45.000 I do want to say something about Clear, since we're on the subject, and you just mentioned this.

00:27:50.000 I had a buddy who was applying for Clear, made it all the way through the selection process, made it all the way up, and it was for a management position.

00:28:00.000 And they basically straight up told him that we can't hire you because you're a white male.

00:28:04.000 Yeah, well, of course.

00:28:05.000 I mean, that's why we're getting, again, if we're able to get rid of affirmative action, you'll have a better government. 0.97

00:28:09.000 Your government will work better if we have merit-based hiring, okay?

00:28:12.000 Merit-based hiring, best people get the jobs.

00:28:14.000 You'll just get a better product out of your federal government.

00:28:17.000 Cliff, as the libertarian guy, do you like the way this conversation is going, Cliff?

00:28:21.000 Listen, I was like, man, am I really going to sit with these guys for five hours and when I come on, it's privatizing the TSA? Look, my favorite statistic, and I still can't believe they put this out.

00:28:33.000 They did a study, I think it was 2015, Where they had the FBI go undercover and try to sneak in illegal items through the TSA. 95%.

00:28:43.000 And when I say that, people are like, oh, 5% of it failed?

00:28:46.000 That's 100% true.

00:28:47.000 95% of the time, they were able to get illegal substances, weapons, all of these banned items.

00:28:54.000 95% of the time, the guys in blue, the 400-pound people that were supposed to protect us and keep us safe, they got it through.

00:29:03.000 So Cliff, I'll do you one better on that, which totally lines up.

00:29:07.000 So when I worked, I'm not going to say where it was, but when I was in the intelligence community, Navy Intel, so I was attached to an EOD unit, so that's Explosive Ordnance Disposal.

00:29:17.000 And at one point, we were running operations where we would get one of the EOD guys to go on Rumble, right?

00:29:25.000 Okay, so we're not on YouTube, right?

00:29:27.000 Are we on YouTube?

00:29:28.000 Nope.

00:29:28.000 Nope, you are free to speak.

00:29:30.000 okay so we would get guys to make fake bombs and what it would be would be like when i say fake i mean like it would look like it had all the components of an explosive device like an ied but it wouldn't have any of the actual you know material to to make it you know go boom but it would be like a soda can hidden in a dorito bag and all of the components inside would just You know,

00:29:53.000 look on an x-ray device as if it was a bomb and then we would we would work with the airport to basically get someone a basically what they call it like a white ticket so you'd get a ticket that you could go through and show someone and it would scan but you know you wouldn't actually have a seat on the plane.

00:30:10.000 Because it would all be worked out.

00:30:11.000 And basically, what my intelligence specialist would do is I would have my guys go, because I was the N2, so I would have all my intelligence specialists, you know, just a, you know, once in a while someone would go down in plain clothes and then put the Dorito bag in their bag with the fake bomb inside and see if they could get it through.

00:30:28.000 And it was like, it's exactly what Cliff is saying, almost Every single time we really get this thing through.

00:30:34.000 And it just felt bad.

00:30:35.000 I remember my specialist coming back saying how awkward it was because then after you got it through, my guys actually had to go and sit with the employee as the supervisor explained what just happened and show them the device.

00:30:50.000 And it was like, yeah, it was really bad.

00:30:53.000 Other ideas that we have.

00:30:54.000 I mean, there's a lot of pardons that I think need to happen.

00:30:56.000 Nonviolent January 6th people are out of the gate.

00:30:58.000 He's promised that, but we've got to make sure that happens.

00:31:00.000 My emphasis, I was really thinking, think of all the stuff.

00:31:03.000 There was a lot of sense Trump was really hitting his stride in 2020.

00:31:07.000 Not even COVID stuff, but hitting the stride on civil rights stuff, on the border, on government organization.

00:31:15.000 And then all that got poofed when Biden just retracted everything day one.

00:31:19.000 I think you want to restore as much of that as possible as quickly as possible.

00:31:23.000 So you create the vibe of this is the immediate continuation of where we were in 2020 rather than taking a long time to build all of that back up.

00:31:33.000 And so I was putting the emphasis on get the border, all of that, get that online as quickly as possible.

00:31:39.000 You could even bring back some of the cheesier stuff we were doing by 2020.

00:31:42.000 Bring back that idea of the Garden of American Heroes with all the statues.

00:31:46.000 Bring that back.

00:31:47.000 That'd be great.

00:31:47.000 I love that.

00:31:48.000 Have it ready by the semi-centennial or whatever it was.

00:31:52.000 So I have two really big ones that absolutely have to be done.

00:31:55.000 Yeah, go ahead.

00:31:56.000 And since we're in election mode anyways right now, they're election-related.

00:32:00.000 We talked about this.

00:32:01.000 Number one is we've got to get rid of the federal-only voter registration.

00:32:08.000 Explain more.

00:32:09.000 The federal-only voter registration is the biggest mistake that's ever been made in America.

00:32:16.000 This is how they're sneaking in illegals to get registered to vote. 1.00

00:32:19.000 It should not exist.

00:32:21.000 We should have that gone.

00:32:22.000 It's a threat to our entire republic by allowing this New York, California to sneak in all these new voters through the federal-only voter registration.

00:32:30.000 The second thing that we have to absolutely do is we have to have a lot more crackdown on the Yochava votes that we talked about. 0.95

00:32:40.000 Totally.

00:32:41.000 So Yochava votes... 0.96

00:32:42.000 How do you fix this without Congress?

00:32:45.000 Because that's what I'm thinking about.

00:32:46.000 Because there's a whole different...

00:32:47.000 I'm talking about federal stuff.

00:32:49.000 Executive branch.

00:32:51.000 Well, everything in that frame is all supported by the executive branch.

00:32:56.000 So you defund the departments that are the ones that are overseeing all of it and that brings it to a screeching halt and forces Congress to actually do something about it.

00:33:05.000 Right now we'll have the trifecta.

00:33:07.000 So the president calling for this, and for sure our Freedom Caucus members are all over this because the election integrity issues out there are huge.

00:33:17.000 And everybody needs to understand this at home.

00:33:20.000 If you don't have this fixed, and also a federal voter ID law that's put into place, but if you don't have this fixed right away, you're in big trouble.

00:33:31.000 The president could defund, like I've seen other people talk about defunding the IRS and things like that.

00:33:37.000 The executive branch could defund so much, stop things from happening, that forces Congress to the table to actually pass laws to get it done.

00:33:45.000 It's just so rarely that a president does that.

00:33:48.000 I think that we have to get a federal criminal investigation into ActBlue.

00:33:53.000 Just an investigation.

00:33:54.000 We have to figure out how it's possible.

00:33:56.000 We said this yesterday, that they are able to have this kind of hard money, small money cash advantage.

00:34:02.000 And if there's nothing there, then the investigation will yield nothing.

00:34:04.000 But it's almost certainly some form of foreign, you know.

00:34:09.000 In general, like, foreign money out of politics would be a good goal.

00:34:13.000 I mean, what if you even just said, like, yeah, we're going to actually treat FARA more seriously.

00:34:18.000 Yeah, the federal agent registration.

00:34:19.000 Yeah, like, you guys use this against Paul Manafort.

00:34:22.000 You guys use this against some of our people.

00:34:24.000 And we're just going to say across the board, all right, we're going to be a lot stricter in how this is applied.

00:34:28.000 Well, like that Swiss billionaire.

00:34:30.000 And you could even announce it six months in advance and be like, start registering.

00:34:33.000 In six months, we're taking this really seriously.

00:34:36.000 Yep.

00:34:37.000 Be sure about it.

00:34:38.000 Other structural stuff, all the border stuff, Stephen Miller's going to just have a feast.

00:34:42.000 Like, I mean, we're going to have the most secure border ever.

00:34:45.000 Yes.

00:34:45.000 On the trans stuff.

00:34:46.000 Yeah, go ahead.

00:34:47.000 Well, just on that question then, so to get that done, we do need the right personnel.

00:34:53.000 Do you think, would you put Stephen Miller at, like, Secretary of Homeland Security or something like that?

00:34:59.000 Deputy Chief of Staff.

00:35:00.000 Here's why.

00:35:00.000 Number one...

00:35:01.000 Oh, that's smart.

00:35:02.000 Yeah, and so number one, Stephen Miller is by far the highest IQ, most based capable person I've ever dealt with in that kind of Trump policy world.

00:35:10.000 It's not even close.

00:35:11.000 Number two, Susie's amazing.

00:35:14.000 However, it is unlikely she lasts the entire term.

00:35:17.000 It's nothing against her.

00:35:17.000 There's almost never a chief of staff that lasts the entire term.

00:35:20.000 You couldn't ask me...

00:35:21.000 It's like press secretaries don't last. 0.97

00:35:22.000 It's just because it just grinds you down.

00:35:24.000 It's like a year.

00:35:25.000 Yeah, it's a year.

00:35:26.000 Even Rahm Emanuel only lasted a year, right?

00:35:28.000 And then it just grinds you down.

00:35:30.000 So you need a deputy that's ready to then fulfill the mandate, right?

00:35:33.000 And just so we're clear, Tyler, can you please create shirts at Turning Point Action and signs?

00:35:38.000 Fulfill the mandate.

00:35:39.000 Yes.

00:35:40.000 That is the C4s, right, Cliff? 1.00

00:35:44.000 All of us, we need to be posting hashtag fulfill the mandate.

00:35:48.000 Right, Jack?

00:35:48.000 That is the three words that the base needs to say over the next...

00:35:54.000 And promises made, promises kept.

00:35:56.000 Oh, by the way, we have some Pennsylvania news here, by the way, that's breaking, Cliff, that Jack can walk you through.

00:36:02.000 But let me finish while you guys process this.

00:36:05.000 And I just want to kind of go through this, is that as we say to fulfill the mandate, the element that Stephen Miller at Deputy Chief of Staff, he'll be able to then basically be the boss of the Department of Homeland Security.

00:36:20.000 In the first term, every cabinet kind of operated as its own.

00:36:23.000 No, they report to the president.

00:36:26.000 So he'll be able to then go into Department of Transportation, Department of Homeland Security.

00:36:31.000 He'll be able to kind of swoop into all these things.

00:36:33.000 And there's just so much good stuff that could be done.

00:36:36.000 It's like when we had James Bacon on the show, he's talked about that.

00:36:40.000 There's so much you can do where...

00:36:42.000 Even if, you know, we've talked about reclassifying federal employees, but he said one of the things that was underutilized is you basically, you tell someone, hey, I need you to do this, or I need a report on this, and they'll blow you off.

00:36:54.000 And he said there's huge power of if you send someone, either the secretary themselves or someone with the White House, and they say, yeah, where is this?

00:37:01.000 And they're like, oh, we don't have it.

00:37:02.000 And you go, oh, you don't have it?

00:37:03.000 You're fired.

00:37:04.000 Mm-hmm.

00:37:05.000 Thanks.

00:37:06.000 That's the other thing.

00:37:06.000 And then you're fired for cause.

00:37:07.000 The other thing, day one, that needs to get done is the reclassification, I think I said this, to fire civil service employees at will and to invoke Schedule F or whatever they call it, right?

00:37:15.000 Yeah, something like that.

00:37:17.000 What's great about that is even without that, you can fire for cause.

00:37:20.000 You can say, yeah, you didn't do your job.

00:37:22.000 You were ordered to do this and you didn't.

00:37:23.000 You're fired.

00:37:24.000 And then, honestly, the more ballsy stuff that I'm going to push for is mass reconsolidation, which is, wait, why do we have a department of education again?

00:37:33.000 Yeah.

00:37:33.000 And you don't need Congress for that.

00:37:35.000 You can actually use it through the Presidential Reorganization Act.

00:37:37.000 And the law is written that if there is duplication in any agency, you can merge them together.

00:37:43.000 And so there's so many examples of this.

00:37:45.000 Like the EPA and the Department of Energy is a duplication.

00:37:46.000 We don't need two different agencies for something that effectively the mandate is the same thing.

00:37:50.000 So EPA gets merged with Department of Energy.

00:37:52.000 Okay.

00:37:53.000 Well, then commerce, which is another huge one.

00:37:56.000 Commerce might be the most important thing.

00:37:58.000 Why?

00:38:00.000 Census.

00:38:01.000 We messed up...

00:38:02.000 You know that the Electoral College...

00:38:04.000 Yeah, it came down 26 votes.

00:38:06.000 Guys, do you know that...

00:38:07.000 Not votes.

00:38:07.000 There are 26 people.

00:38:08.000 Do you know that 26 human beings in the U.S. Census in Minnesota gave them an extra electoral vote?

00:38:15.000 Did you know that?

00:38:16.000 Yes, I'm aware.

00:38:16.000 I saw that.

00:38:17.000 Yeah, I knew that.

00:38:18.000 So they gained the census so bad that they were... 0.80

00:38:22.000 By the way, the Commerce sets the tone for the census every 10 years.

00:38:27.000 So there's just so much there.

00:38:28.000 There's so much weird stuff.

00:38:30.000 Like for the census, they keep wanting to create new groups to measure in the census for basically the purpose of so we can give them special federal contracts because they're like a discriminated against minority group. 0.51

00:38:40.000 So like this upcoming census, they wanted to say, okay, we're creating a new group, MENA, Middle East, North Africa.

00:38:47.000 And so like you'll have a new group that we can hand out like shovel federal contracts to because we'll say they're underrepresented.

00:38:55.000 And I feel like it's actually important for us to say, no, we're not going to constantly go inventing new groups for people to be a part of.

00:39:02.000 Well, you know why that's even more important?

00:39:03.000 It's because those new groups that they create then aid the process for them creating majority-minority groups when they do redistricting.

00:39:11.000 Also that, yeah.

00:39:12.000 And so what happens is, I mean, this is the entire game of doing the census is for the gamesmanship with redistricting at this point.

00:39:21.000 And so...

00:39:23.000 You have redistricting, and obviously you have that, but they have to match.

00:39:26.000 Whatever happens with redistricting is where you get the electoral college votes.

00:39:29.000 So this is the problem that we have right now, is they're aware, completely aware they screwed this up last time.

00:39:38.000 And it was actually COVID that did it.

00:39:41.000 You know what my dream would be?

00:39:43.000 So COVID actually prevented, do you realize this?

00:39:45.000 We were supposed to get another district in Arizona, which they actually wanted because they thought they were going to flip Arizona permanently, and they were going to have three Hispanic majority-minority districts here, and they didn't get it.

00:40:00.000 And they actually screwed themselves out of one because of COVID didn't allow them to get enough of those numbers.

00:40:05.000 That's amazing.

00:40:06.000 I want Cliff's ideas, but I just want to say God is so good that if this goes the way that it's trending, God knew what he was doing, not giving us a second Trump term because all the bad people are gone and that we are literally building a team on transition and otherwise that's like 90% good.

00:40:22.000 You're going to get 10% bad.

00:40:24.000 It's just going to happen.

00:40:24.000 It's just a rule of nature.

00:40:26.000 You know, you could put him in charge of...

00:40:28.000 You know, the neocon stuff will be the hardest fights, I'm going to be honest. 0.95

00:40:30.000 I'm not getting involved in that.

00:40:32.000 Like, detaching from some of the deep Pentagon stuff.

00:40:35.000 But, like, okay, you know, I'll wage war against the teacher unions.

00:40:40.000 I already have.

00:40:41.000 Yeah.

00:40:41.000 Do you know what?

00:40:41.000 Like, that's...

00:40:42.000 I'm not going to go against...

00:40:44.000 But, like, Cliff, as a libertarian...

00:40:46.000 I say this affectionately.

00:40:47.000 What ideas do you have?

00:40:48.000 I mean this.

00:40:49.000 Where are we missing ideas you've been like...

00:40:51.000 If you, like, one day, I wish we could do X, Y, Z. So...

00:40:55.000 Yeah, day one, we free Ross Ulbricht.

00:40:57.000 I don't know if we hit that yet.

00:40:58.000 He should be free.

00:41:00.000 Hey, Blake, do I not advocate for that every day?

00:41:03.000 Do you advocate for it all the time?

00:41:04.000 I don't know why we're so in favor of it.

00:41:06.000 We're not doing that right now.

00:41:07.000 Cliff, I totally agree.

00:41:09.000 It is the biggest injustice by the DOJ, right, Tyler?

00:41:11.000 Totally agree.

00:41:11.000 He's made a promise, and here's the cool thing.

00:41:13.000 So, God willing, if God will keep us all healthy and alive until then, Inauguration for Trump, fly to Atlanta for the Oregon Ducks playing in the national championship game, then fly to Tucson, Arizona for Ross Ulbricht's release.

00:41:28.000 That's going to be hopefully my sequence.

00:41:29.000 But yes, keep going, Cliff.

00:41:31.000 We'll lock in that schedule.

00:41:33.000 Look, I think the biggest thing as a libertarian is this idea, and I know you guys were chatting about it a little bit, but there really was never a time in my life where there's potential to legitimately cut 30 to 50 percent of these bureaucratic goons.

00:41:48.000 I mean, right now, when you have Vivek talking with Elon, Elon saying he wants to chat with Ron Paul, I mean, be still my heart.

00:41:56.000 Like, this is the libertarian pipe dream of just completely going in and gutting a lot of these corrupt systems that rot in Washington, D.C., I don't want to minimize that.

00:42:10.000 There are plenty of pet issues I care about, but I think that's going to be one of the major ones.

00:42:15.000 Are we actually going to shrink the size of government?

00:42:19.000 Even on our side, Republicans struggle with that on a lot of case-by-case basis.

00:42:26.000 The other thing I'd point to is the Fourth Amendment.

00:42:29.000 I think with Trump being spied on, I think with a lot of the things that he's gone through, whether it's FBI, whether it's DOJ, whether it's CIA, I think there's just going to be so much of a light that shines on some of these things.

00:42:43.000 I don't have specifics where I'm like, you know, we want to do X, Y or Z. I just think opening the books and being able to get access to so many of these things It's good for the American people, right?

00:42:55.000 Having truth and understanding when your government has been corrupt, whether it's been done by past Republican presidents, Democrat presidents, rogue actors, I do think that's one of the things that under Trump, the chip on his shoulder right now, after everything he's been through, they said they wouldn't impeach him, they did.

00:43:15.000 They said they wouldn't charge him, they did.

00:43:17.000 They said they wouldn't make him take a mugshot, they did.

00:43:19.000 They shot the guy in the face.

00:43:22.000 I just think there's nobody more motivated to go in and expose some of these people that are just completely against the interest of us, the working class American folks.

00:43:34.000 I think that's what excites me the most.

00:43:38.000 Not only his attitude, but just his incentives are completely aligned with defending the values of the American people.

00:43:45.000 That should excite all of us.

00:43:46.000 I love it.

00:43:47.000 And as specifics come up, by the way, and I wanted to say to the audience, if you guys have ideas that we're missing, policy stuff, but just think about all this.

00:43:54.000 Think about all the other small stuff that we're going to get done.

00:43:58.000 No more transgender stuff in the military. 0.99

00:44:00.000 No more transgenders in the military, period. 0.90

00:44:02.000 Like, that needs to go, right, Blake? 0.96

00:44:03.000 That was in order for a long time.

00:44:05.000 Like, if you're transgender, you're not serving the U.S. military, period.

00:44:07.000 End of story.

00:44:08.000 That was a true story.

00:44:10.000 Trump did that first term.

00:44:12.000 Obama was a policy to allow that.

00:44:14.000 And then it was early in Trump's term and they hadn't reversed this yet.

00:44:18.000 And so I was with Tucker Carlson's show at the time and this was like spring 2017.

00:44:23.000 And I was like, Tucker, they haven't reversed this.

00:44:25.000 It's really annoying.

00:44:26.000 And Tucker's like...

00:44:27.000 Yeah, you're right.

00:44:28.000 We should write a thing about that.

00:44:31.000 We did that, and then we talked about it that night.

00:44:33.000 And then the next morning on Twitter, Trump was like, yeah, we're getting rid of that.

00:44:37.000 And you get these articles where these generals are all blindsided by this street.

00:44:41.000 It was so remarkable.

00:44:43.000 So, I mean, just other stuff that we're going to do.

00:44:45.000 For example, no more gay poems on battleships.

00:44:50.000 Dewoking the military, I think, is good.

00:44:52.000 That's basic.

00:44:53.000 You can frame it in such a good way.

00:44:56.000 But you can frame it in such a positive way, too.

00:44:58.000 It doesn't need to be like even red meat for your base.

00:45:00.000 You can just say, the purpose of the United States military is to protect America.

00:45:04.000 We are going to de-emphasize and remove all of this extraneous, political, ideologically motivated stuff.

00:45:11.000 We have a mandate to take woke out of our institutions. 1.00

00:45:14.000 That is part of the mandate.

00:45:17.000 Obviously, Drill Baby Drill is easy. 0.87

00:45:19.000 They don't need me for that, right?

00:45:20.000 But the other education, though, stuff is obviously, you know, no men and women sports, but it'd be really interesting to do investigations, deeper ones, into how these colleges are still using affirmative action, and they're doing it against the Supreme Court, right?

00:45:36.000 They're totally defying it.

00:45:38.000 You investigate that, yeah.

00:45:39.000 Totally, and...

00:45:40.000 Obama got so good at this where they would do these just far-reaching DOJ investigations of police departments where you would investigate them for alleged racism.

00:45:50.000 It was total sham investigations.

00:45:52.000 You would say like, oh, you pull over black men more often than other people. 0.93

00:45:57.000 We're going to ring you up.

00:45:59.000 And then you force them into these consent decrees where they're basically ordered to stop policing as much.

00:46:04.000 And it was total nonsense, but they did that.

00:46:06.000 So what you do is you can do these sorts of far-ranging investigations and say, yeah, we'd like to see all of the emails that are sent internally by Harvard's admissions department because it was very interesting how you guys behaved all these years.

00:46:18.000 And you just do that, and you really start putting the pressure on them to think about how their behavior has interacted with the clear, plain text of federal law.

00:46:28.000 Someone says, go ahead, yeah.

00:46:29.000 One last thing.

00:46:31.000 I want to bring back the executive order on architecture and just say...

00:46:35.000 What was it?

00:46:36.000 Oh, yes.

00:46:36.000 100%.

00:46:36.000 We're not going to have the federal government build ugly buildings anymore.

00:46:40.000 I love it.

00:46:40.000 He's like, we're going to have our official styles, neoclassical.

00:46:42.000 I totally agree.

00:46:43.000 I even agree with Steve Saylor.

00:46:44.000 You could just have anything before the Great Depression looks good.

00:46:47.000 Yes, I completely agree.

00:46:49.000 It can be Art Deco.

00:46:49.000 I totally agree.

00:46:50.000 It can be Spanish Colonial. 0.98

00:46:52.000 But none of this ugly crap like the Boston City Hall. 0.99

00:46:54.000 Oh, that's another one. 0.99

00:46:55.000 Give the land back.

00:46:56.000 So go to Bureau of Land Management and do the greatest land transfer back to the states.

00:47:00.000 Yes.

00:47:01.000 BLM, literally go to the Department of Interior and be like, hey, we're going to give back 200 million acres to Arizona. 0.58

00:47:06.000 Trump talked about it in Nevada.

00:47:07.000 He's talked about it.

00:47:08.000 Very popular.

00:47:09.000 We've got to get a Republican governor here in Arizona to help make it happen. 1.00

00:47:12.000 But I was going to say, I'm going to start with the easy one and then go to the harder one.

00:47:18.000 First one is defunding PBS. Oh, NPR. And NPR. I totally agree.

00:47:23.000 That has to go through Congress.

00:47:24.000 I think it's worth shutting down the government over.

00:47:26.000 But you should shut the government over right now.

00:47:27.000 NPR, I will actively and I'll advocate every day to make sure you are defunded.

00:47:32.000 And they're going to resist you with a lot of radio programs?

00:47:35.000 With a lot of...

00:47:36.000 Defund PBS. By the way, fund yourself.

00:47:39.000 Oh, you can still exist.

00:47:40.000 Fund yourself.

00:47:42.000 Here's the next one.

00:47:42.000 What about federal subsidies for cable?

00:47:46.000 No.

00:47:47.000 We don't want to...

00:47:48.000 Guys, there's something...

00:47:49.000 You don't want to get rid of cable?

00:47:51.000 Wait, hold on.

00:47:53.000 Do we subsidize cable?

00:47:55.000 Oh, we totally subsidize it. 0.89

00:47:56.000 Oh, then you'll get rid of it.

00:47:57.000 I didn't know.

00:47:57.000 How do we subsidize it?

00:47:58.000 The federal government gives billions of dollars to cable to keep cable alive.

00:48:03.000 Is that right?

00:48:04.000 You can go through it.

00:48:05.000 Yeah, there's entire infrastructures for this.

00:48:08.000 We should stop subsidizing it.

00:48:10.000 We need no dollars to go to cable.

00:48:12.000 I totally agree with that.

00:48:15.000 By the way, we need to put together...

00:48:16.000 If you put together the brain trust of the conservative movement...

00:48:19.000 Aren't there think tanks that exist to do this, by the way?

00:48:22.000 All they do is to think, what if one day...

00:48:25.000 You'd think.

00:48:25.000 That's the point of the name.

00:48:28.000 But wait, wouldn't they put together a project and then name it?

00:48:31.000 Whoa, and it might even be named after a year in administration.

00:48:34.000 But don't they think about all the things that they could do and all the people that could do it?

00:48:41.000 But they would never publish it, though.

00:48:43.000 Yeah, you wouldn't want to do that because the press would seize upon it and lie about it.

00:48:48.000 You would never want to keep it secret.

00:48:50.000 And your enemies would use it against you.

00:48:51.000 You want it to be private.

00:48:55.000 We're the smart party.

00:48:57.000 Before we get too wonky...

00:48:59.000 Before we get super wonky there is something that needs to be said just because we promised it a million times and it's important that there are a lot of people currently languishing in prison called the j6ers many of whom were completely completely you know innocent or non-violent or all these various things so That review needs to be undertaken, I think, almost immediately. 1.00

00:49:23.000 And I'd love to see day one.

00:49:25.000 So yeah, Russ Ulbricht, day one.

00:49:27.000 J6ers, day one. 1.00

00:49:28.000 There's just a number of people that need to be in those day one pardons or commutations.

00:49:32.000 Do you have other ones? 0.98

00:49:33.000 Oh, crap. 0.98

00:49:34.000 I lost my train of thought. 0.99

00:49:36.000 I was saying, oh, yeah, just, you know, you could do worse.

00:49:41.000 Reread your book from this summer.

00:49:42.000 There was a whole chapter.

00:49:43.000 There was a chapter with that lurid fantasy of, like, day one of a new Republican administration.

00:49:48.000 Daisy, get me a copy of my book.

00:49:52.000 I think I have one behind me.

00:49:53.000 I can get one.

00:49:53.000 So many people.

00:49:54.000 Yeah, that's right there.

00:49:55.000 We got it.

00:49:57.000 We got it.

00:49:58.000 Oh, no foreigners buying U.S. homes.

00:50:00.000 That's not a bad one.

00:50:03.000 Here, hand me one.

00:50:04.000 I love this conversation.

00:50:05.000 And for everybody in the chat, too, because we have some people in the chat that are going like, this is just a pipe dream.

00:50:10.000 This doesn't make sense.

00:50:11.000 I disagree with that.

00:50:12.000 Guys, this is not a pipe dream.

00:50:13.000 I don't think you understand what's happening.

00:50:15.000 First of all, we're also having fun.

00:50:16.000 And you understand that just having this conversation alone is how you get to good ideas.

00:50:20.000 We get to get it.

00:50:20.000 But even more importantly, the left's minds are blowing right now.

00:50:24.000 They're getting so upset just by the fact that this exists.

00:50:28.000 Media Matters is going to report on this.

00:50:30.000 And then they're going to get more mad.

00:50:33.000 It's going to be great.

00:50:34.000 Just play the game.

00:50:36.000 Help make them mad a little bit. 0.89

00:50:38.000 While you're looking that up, guys, e-verify.

00:50:45.000 Did we talk Elias when I was gone or no?

00:50:47.000 No, with Pennsylvania.

00:50:48.000 No, we did not.

00:50:48.000 Hey Cliff, did you see Elias' tweet?

00:50:50.000 He says there's 100,000 ballots to be adjudicated in Pennsylvania.

00:50:53.000 What does that mean?

00:50:54.000 With a 30,000 vote advantage for McCormick.

00:50:58.000 Did you see that tweet?

00:50:59.000 No, I'm looking at it now.

00:51:01.000 I guess that some of those are – a lot of those are Trump ballots.

00:51:05.000 He's talking about provisionals.

00:51:06.000 Yeah, we'd have to see where they're from.

00:51:08.000 I mean, that tracks with 2020 numbers, right?

00:51:11.000 2020, there were 100,000 provisionals.

00:51:13.000 Well, this is a provision.

00:51:14.000 But once again, listen.

00:51:16.000 So he was talking – well, Cliff, it does say – Later in the—so he's, quote, tweeting a Department of State tweet, and it says, we estimate that there are 100,000 ballots remaining to be adjudicated, including provisional military, overseas, and election day vote.

00:51:32.000 We urge patience with election workers, blah, blah, blah.

00:51:35.000 So those votes—and correct me if I'm wrong—but those votes usually track with the overall vote of the state.

00:51:41.000 So this is where we had issues, and we've had issues in many states with this because the left manipulates the adjudication process depending upon the county.

00:51:50.000 But adjudicated ballots are ones that have issues, errors, mistakes, cross-throughs, folds, things like that.

00:51:57.000 So what they do is they don't make it all the way through, and they have to be looked at.

00:52:03.000 For example, if you don't have a complete bubble filled in, or it looks like you have two bubbles filled in, or if you're writing a name for a write-in, and they have to look at it, that's adjudication.

00:52:15.000 So 100,000 adjudication, ballots for adjudication is a lot, but...

00:52:20.000 Is this include provisional or no, or is he conflating that?

00:52:23.000 So you can adjudicate lots of...

00:52:25.000 So a lot of provisionals have issues because they're kind of sloppy secondhand votes.

00:52:31.000 A lot of overseas ones have adjudication issues because they're...

00:52:35.000 The Department of State, the actual statement they put out says it does include provisionals.

00:52:40.000 Remaining to be adjudicated, including provisional, military, overseas.

00:52:44.000 But what I'm saying is that he's including that because that's just a different type of ballot.

00:52:49.000 Adjudication issues happen to all ballots.

00:52:52.000 The vast majority happen in just regular ballots across all the different places.

00:52:57.000 But the point is you get a lot of the adjudication issues with provisionals overseas because people are a little bit more sloppy with them.

00:53:05.000 You can scan in, fax in, you'll cover votes.

00:53:08.000 So they have issues.

00:53:10.000 Almost all of them need to be adjudicated in some kind of way.

00:53:12.000 Someone will take a crappy picture of it when they scan it, or a bad scan, or a bad fax, and you can't really read it.

00:53:19.000 So someone has to adjudicate it, which means they have to fill out a new ballot.

00:53:23.000 That is the intent of what they want.

00:53:26.000 And sometimes they pick up the phone and call the person and say, Hey, is this what you're meeting?

00:53:29.000 I think we got some votes.

00:53:31.000 Maricopa County should be coming in right now.

00:53:33.000 Yeah, I think we got...

00:53:36.000 15,000, 10,000.

00:53:38.000 We got 25,000 votes is what we got.

00:53:42.000 Let me see.

00:53:43.000 We got about 27,000 votes-ish.

00:53:46.000 Nice, nice.

00:53:47.000 It should have been 75. 0.99

00:53:48.000 It was not 75,000.

00:53:51.000 It was 25,000 votes.

00:53:53.000 Let me see what Mr.

00:53:54.000 Archer has to say.

00:53:55.000 He said...

00:53:57.000 While we wait for the big dog, Coconino posted 5,166.

00:54:01.000 There you go.

00:54:02.000 We also got...

00:54:04.000 Oh, he says Maricopa incoming 18 minutes ago.

00:54:06.000 Pima just dropped.

00:54:08.000 Yeah, there's more Pima votes.

00:54:09.000 It was a big... 0.61

00:54:10.000 It was a big, ugly...

00:54:13.000 We were expecting this, so...

00:54:14.000 We haven't even framed all this yet for everybody.

00:54:17.000 We were told and expecting a big, ugly Pima drop tonight in conjunction with a Maricopa County drop.

00:54:25.000 We were told this.

00:54:26.000 She's down 55,000.

00:54:28.000 Allegedly, they were supposed to do 250,000 Maricopa County votes.

00:54:33.000 Now they changed their tune, and the campaign for sheriff here in Maricopa County got word that they're only releasing 72,000 now.

00:54:41.000 And they were doing that in conjunction at the same time with Pima, which we were expecting to be very ugly.

00:54:47.000 This was only about 15,000 votes.

00:54:49.000 That broke 62, 33 for Gallego.

00:54:55.000 Okay.

00:54:55.000 But that was expected.

00:54:56.000 It's a small batch.

00:54:57.000 So let me do one of our partners here.

00:54:58.000 Guys, start the process to fire up the other stream, please.

00:55:01.000 Okay?

00:55:02.000 I want to tell you about everywhere you look, they're trying to sand down men's rough edges and serve up mediocrity like it's something to be proud of.

00:55:09.000 Low testosterone, weak mindsets, and this idea that being tough is outdated.

00:55:12.000 100% pure bison organs, liver, kidney, heart, the kind of primal fuel that built men who handled their business without whining or waiting for permission.

00:55:20.000 Loaded with B12, iron, and zinc.

00:55:22.000 It is the ultimate kick in the tail for the low-T and this watered-down culture. 1.00

00:56:13.000 Tyler seems like the Diamondbacks just won the World Series.

00:56:18.000 Maricopa just dropped 70,000 votes, 57% lake.

00:56:22.000 That's very, very good.

00:56:23.000 Whoa! 0.71

00:56:26.000 Let's go!

00:56:27.000 Let's go!

00:56:28.000 That is above the margin.

00:56:29.000 No wonder Stephen deleted his Twitter.

00:56:31.000 That's way above the margin.

00:56:33.000 How many were you going to pick up off that?

00:56:35.000 She's only down by 44,000 votes.

00:56:37.000 0.7.

00:56:38.000 That would be a gain of like 10,000 just off that.

00:56:40.000 Guys!

00:56:40.000 She's down 44,000 votes now.

00:56:42.000 You realize they're doing it in order, too.

00:56:45.000 That's pretty good.

00:56:47.000 That's crazy.

00:56:49.000 Carrie Lake is back.

00:56:51.000 No, she's not back yet, but that's way above what she needed.

00:56:54.000 That's amazing for Maricopa.

00:56:57.000 She's fighting.

00:56:57.000 I'm telling you right now, no wonder why they were waiting to drop with Pima at the same time because they had to drop that ugly Pima one together with it.

00:57:05.000 Donald Trump is up a lot.

00:57:07.000 43,698 is the gap. 0.84

00:57:09.000 Holy crap.

00:57:11.000 We should have Matt on sometime to talk about this.

00:57:13.000 He's a fun guy.

00:57:13.000 No, he's coming on as soon as we get close.

00:57:15.000 Oh, sweet.

00:57:15.000 I'm telling you, he's coming on the show as soon as we get close.

00:57:18.000 He can come on as soon as...

00:57:19.000 I didn't want him to come on and it would be depressing.

00:57:23.000 He has to be like, yeah, guys, sorry.

00:57:25.000 We've done that.

00:57:25.000 Matthew Martinez.

00:57:27.000 Matthew Martinez is coming on.

00:57:28.000 Charlie, can you guys, as the non-Arizonite... 0.99

00:57:33.000 It's Arizona men.

00:57:34.000 How is she comparing to 22?

00:57:40.000 She's actually doing better.

00:57:41.000 It's not comparable.

00:57:42.000 She's doing better, and it's thanks to Trump, largely.

00:57:45.000 It's not comparable, but here's the deal.

00:57:47.000 So what happened with Carrie Lake last time was it was virtually the same issue where we are at now.

00:57:53.000 She got down.

00:57:54.000 We got close about where we are now, days into counting.

00:57:58.000 But the problem that existed with her was that her late drops that happened, if you remember this, Charlie, the late drops that happened right before the election skewed more Democrat than they did for Trump in 2020, the late drops.

00:58:13.000 So what happened with Trump and he was he was actually performing pretty well, but it just didn't end up being enough and didn't get us across the finish line in the final counts.

00:58:23.000 And they were slow rolled this whole thing because they that's where this this practice came in to be because they were slow rolling everything because nobody knew it was going to happen.

00:58:32.000 And then the same thing happened.

00:58:34.000 Basically, they did the same order of operations in 2022.

00:58:38.000 Carriage was down way more on that first drop.

00:58:42.000 I think it was like 12% or 14% that first drop.

00:58:45.000 And it was just like this slow, awful...

00:58:48.000 This changes all the math.

00:58:50.000 Blake, we need to redo all that math we did earlier.

00:58:52.000 We did not think we'd get a 57% drop out of remaining America.

00:58:55.000 Well, I did say that if it did happen...

00:58:58.000 Yeah, it's crazy.

00:58:59.000 Are we done with data for the night?

00:59:01.000 Probably, because they're not.

00:59:03.000 Wait, Tyler.

00:59:03.000 Would this be the best drop, or could this be indicative of future drops?

00:59:09.000 This is indicative of future drops.

00:59:11.000 So what happens usually is whatever trend is going, it gets better.

00:59:15.000 The question is, how much better does it get?

00:59:18.000 So...

00:59:18.000 So Carrie Lake, if Carrie Lake continues this trend of 65% plus statewide...

00:59:25.000 How many votes are remaining now?

00:59:26.000 55 plus Maricopa, which is going to win by a lot.

00:59:28.000 There's 750,000 votes remaining?

00:59:30.000 There's approximately...

00:59:32.000 There's more than that, because that was only a drop of about 100,000 altogether in the last hour.

00:59:39.000 So there's probably about 850,000 left.

00:59:42.000 That's crazy.

00:59:43.000 I'm telling you, Trump is going to win by 10.

00:59:45.000 Carrie Lake is going to win by 2. 1.00

00:59:47.000 I'm going to make a call about this.

00:59:48.000 I'll be right back.

00:59:48.000 Yeah.

00:59:49.000 We'll be back.

00:59:50.000 We're good.

00:59:50.000 And then when we go live with everyone else, we'll read it.

00:59:53.000 We'll recapitulate.

00:59:54.000 Tyler, go through this.

00:59:55.000 You mentioned they're coming in in order.

00:59:58.000 What is the order you're looking at there?

01:00:00.000 So for everyone that's just joining in this new, to this process, that Maricopa County's magically made up on their own over the course of the last three election cycles, basically what they've done is they've, they're supposed to count all of the early mail-in ballots prior to Tuesday, the election they're supposed to count all of the early mail-in ballots prior However, Stephen Richard came out and said, oops, didn't hire enough people.

01:00:25.000 I couldn't get to that.

01:00:26.000 So they only made it to the previous Tuesday in early ballots.

01:00:30.000 That means there was a full week, basically, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday that had not been counted prior to Tuesday going in.

01:00:39.000 Just because Andrew's saying he missed it, so maybe others did.

01:00:42.000 We're just going to repeat the numbers.

01:00:44.000 We had 70,429 votes dropped in Maricopa.

01:00:48.000 Lake got 57% of them for a net of about 11,500 votes.

01:00:53.000 So in one drop, we gained 11,500 out of a 54,000-55,000 vote gap.

01:00:58.000 So we just wiped out about a fifth of the gap that we needed in one drop.

01:00:58.000 That's correct.

01:01:02.000 In one drop, and that was only 70,000 votes.

01:01:04.000 Of 70,000 votes.

01:01:06.000 And Maricopa County still has a little bit, probably pretty close to 400,000 votes left.

01:01:12.000 So about 400,000 left in Maricopa.

01:01:14.000 More than 4,000.

01:01:15.000 If drops in Maricopa match that, you basically wipe it out right there, and then the rurals would give you some cushion.

01:01:21.000 Bread and butter.

01:01:22.000 Yeah.

01:01:22.000 So if she continues on this pathway, she's not going to win by a little bit.

01:01:27.000 She'll win by a lot.

01:01:29.000 So that's a good sign for everybody.

01:01:32.000 But yeah, anyways, going back to what I was explaining.

01:01:35.000 So they go through that process.

01:01:37.000 So when Election Day comes, they count all the votes.

01:01:40.000 Step one is this, is that they count...

01:01:44.000 They count all the election night votes first, and then they start in order of the votes that were cast in the previous days.

01:01:52.000 So the first batch that they started counting was Wednesday of last week, then Thursday, and now we're in Friday territory.

01:02:00.000 And that means that what they probably have a little bit left here is Saturday, Sunday, Monday, somewhere in there.

01:02:05.000 I'll get some word from some people that will tell us on the inside if we're around there.

01:02:09.000 And then they count the drop-offs on election day.

01:02:13.000 Now, Election Day drop-offs typically look a lot like the actual votes that are cast on Election Day.

01:02:18.000 So they're very good for Republicans, typically.

01:02:20.000 And in this case, Cary Lake won Election Day 60% to 40%.

01:02:24.000 Tyler, do you know how many there are in terms of Election Day drop-offs versus early vote, or do we not have those numbers?

01:02:35.000 I just sent the total.

01:02:39.000 So we are tracking the estimated remaining ballots per county.

01:02:43.000 So I'm sorry, I misspoke earlier with everybody.

01:02:47.000 After this drop, there's about half a million still left in Maricopa County.

01:02:51.000 So we're still at like 510,000, somewhere in that ballpark.

01:02:55.000 The remainder is about the same number for the rest of the state.

01:03:00.000 So right now we're sitting at still about a million ballots left, a little bit less than a million.

01:03:07.000 There's a little bit less than what Maricopa County has in the rest of the state.

01:03:11.000 And she's still got to make up, what, 44,000? 1.00

01:03:14.000 So here's the good news.

01:03:16.000 Here's the good news.

01:03:17.000 Some of the more recent Pima drops, I'll just take a look at it.

01:03:22.000 We've had some ugly ones, but they're not ugly enough for Gallego.

01:03:27.000 But we've had some really good on-track outside, outer drops.

01:03:32.000 And Maricopa County is really what seals the fate of Cary Lake.

01:03:36.000 The good news that we...

01:03:38.000 Oh, hey, we have breaking real quick.

01:03:42.000 Hey, Cliff.

01:03:44.000 Cliff, you seeing this?

01:03:53.000 Pennsylvania 10's called?

01:03:55.000 It's our boy.

01:03:57.000 NBC News projects Republican Scott Perry wins re-election to the House in Pennsylvania's 10th congressional district.
