00:00:51.000There's a lot going on, including everybody.
00:00:53.000The House of Representatives is officially in Republican hands, which is just terrific.
00:00:59.000And then there's a very special announcement happening tonight from Mar-a-Lago.
00:01:04.000And I think that it's going to be something historic in many different ways.
00:01:09.000But Andrew, I'll be honest, if you would have told me a month ago that Donald Trump is running for president, I didn't think I would be receiving the text messages I would be receiving.
00:01:19.000Now, no doubt the vast majority of emails of you are very excited about Donald Trump running for president.
00:01:25.000But I think a theme that we are going to dive into and that we're going to build out is this is not going to be a coronation, isn't it Andrew?
00:01:34.000Yeah, I mean, we put out the comment on your social media.
00:01:40.000And, you know, depending on the platform, Twitter was less forgiving.
00:01:44.000But we asked the question, we said, you know, hey, because you've been getting a lot of messages that people are frustrated by some of the attacks recently with Yunkin and DeSantis.
00:01:56.000For those of you messaging me that you've been turned off by Trump attacks on DeSantis, et cetera, what, if anything, would you like to hear from the president tonight that would change your mind and regain your support?
00:02:08.000Carrie Lake for running mate, got that a lot.
00:02:19.000And then another major theme in the comments, Charlie, has been the audience really just wants to hear about the future, which is interesting because we have an audience that's very, very cued in on election integrity, what happened in 2020.
00:02:34.000And I think after the midterms, the tone has changed and people really want to hear about, they want to recapture, as you put it this morning, they want to recapture that 2016 energy.
00:02:46.000They want that magic of what he's going to do to make America great again.
00:02:50.000I think people feel like they're losing their country.
00:02:52.000They see what happened to this midterm.
00:02:53.000Thank God we have the house, but they want to recapture it and look forward.
00:03:03.000The wall just got 10 feet taller, bringing American manufacturing back to the country.
00:03:09.000And I think what is really bothering some people, as based on the messages I'm receiving, is that Donald Trump became a very good kingmaker.
00:03:19.000And no doubt, Ron DeSantis would not be governor of Florida if it was not for Donald Trump.
00:03:24.000No one doubts that, including Ron DeSantis.
00:03:27.000But what I think bothers some people is when the kingmaker starts to go after his own disciples.
00:03:49.000I think, and Jack, I'd love to get your opinion on this, but I think a lot of the notes that we're receiving is: I love Trump, and I, you know, for those who still support Trump, it's like, but I still like DeSantis.
00:04:41.000Well, folks, I'd just like to say that I'm very honored to be here this evening and to formally announce that yes, I, Jack Michael Poseobic, will be running for the presidency in 2024.
00:04:58.000I hope that everyone, Charlie, obviously you're not age-eligible yet to run for president, so you won't be able to do this.
00:05:05.000But apparently, according to CNN, which a new article I just read like five seconds ago from the great Donnie O'Sullivan, we all love him.
00:05:13.000He said, Facebook has a memo that says, if you are running for president, that you can't be fact-checked.
00:05:23.000So apparently, if you're running for president and it goes in to quote Andy Stone, you guys remember Andy Stone.
00:05:29.000I'm still waiting for the results of Andy Stone's big investigation into the Hunter Biden laptop, which he said seems like obvious disinformation.
00:05:36.000He said they're conducting internal investigation.
00:05:38.000He never got back to us about that one.
00:05:40.000But he said, political speech is ineligible for fact-checking.
00:05:43.000This includes the words a politician says, as well as video, content, photos that are clearly labeled as created by the politician or their campaign.
00:05:51.000So I said, great, we can all announce that we're running for president.
00:07:13.000And the reason being is that more Arizona data, and if someone can explain this to me, I think we all know what happened, is 17% of Maricopa Election Day voters were Democrat.
00:07:23.000Only 23% of Election Day voters were Democrat.
00:07:26.000But Democrats are winning 50% of delayed Election Day vote totals.
00:07:31.000Andrew, you saw this article as well, didn't you?
00:07:33.000And this is why the data is just so confusing to us.
00:07:37.000It's befuddling because we had baked into our models at least a 50 to 70,000 vote cushion, which it was off by 75,000 votes.
00:07:48.000Say, did really that many Democrats vote that day?
00:08:07.000You haven't tweeted about it, but there was a potential loss of between seven and nine percent of Republican votes.
00:08:13.000Some data breaks it down that way: that seven to nine percent of registered Republicans in the state of Arizona broke with the party and voted for Katie Hobbs.
00:08:23.000I think that's really hard for people in this audience to comprehend.
00:08:27.000They instantly go to fraud, they instantly go to algorithms, machines, whatever.
00:10:32.000My take, well, just on that real quick, is, you know, I don't think it's, I don't think it's breaking news if Trump's running for president.
00:10:40.000I think it's like the worst kept secret.
00:10:41.000But at the same time, what I'm looking for is if he makes any indications towards a VP, if he makes any.
00:11:03.000And so he's certainly been dropping hints.
00:11:06.000And I know like, you know, pretty much all the talk within Trump world not to, you know, reveal anything, but a lot of chatter about a potential female pick.
00:11:17.000I think that's the, you know, I'm not sure which part of the country, though, we could say Sunbelt, perhaps Sunbelt, that it would not fraud.
00:11:31.000Beto O'Rourke would qualify with two of those, but he was in the wrong party.
00:12:13.000So when we were messing around with Tyler the other day and we demanded that he go as our ambassador and representative to Mar-a-Lago, he actually went.
00:12:22.000He's leading the turning point delegation at Mar-a-Lago.
00:12:25.000It's like the Olympics where you send like a flag waiver.
00:14:13.000If you're supporting Eliz Cheney, then the one person supporting her left, yes, then that's definitely an enigma.
00:14:19.000That's definitely, you know, but to go back to what you were saying about the undervote for Kerry, you know, and Charlie, you know, I'd love to look at the polling and yeah, 100% pro-life.
00:14:51.000That's the distinction I was talking about.
00:14:53.000And I was talking about like six specific states, not necessarily the whole country, but I think that there are areas, swing states in particular where that came up.
00:15:01.000And Lindsey Graham definitely, what can I say?
00:15:06.000And when you're also talking about Arizona, though, and that, you know, maybe Charlie, you know better than the rest of us, I got to say, you know, I do still think that there is a lingering component of the McCain Republican in Arizona that most more than likely, it wasn't so much that they decided to, that all of a sudden they woke up and became liberal.
00:15:31.000It was more like we are going to vote for Katie Hobbs out of spite.
00:15:35.000And so, look, Arizona's a tricky state.
00:15:57.000But there was a legitimate, and I could see it in the precincts.
00:16:00.000She did win the Paradise Valley precincts, but she didn't win them by as much as she probably should have.
00:16:05.000And there was a massive, a very well-funded, very persuasive, might I add, Republicans Against Cary Lake advertising campaign that launched three weeks out from the election.
00:16:18.000Now, Jack, if you were launching a campaign three weeks out from the election, why would you do that?
00:16:23.000Because you're trying to get same-day voters.
00:16:38.000I think that ballot capturing and ballot harvesting, the illegal activity 100% happened here in Arizona.
00:16:44.000We know that from the indictments in San Luis, thanks to Greg Phillips and Katherine Engelbrecht.
00:16:49.000You just, you don't get these numbers unless somebody is collecting these ballots.
00:16:52.000It should be illegal in Arizona, but enough people are not getting indicted or getting criminalized, basically facing criminal penalties for that.
00:17:00.000However, if we want to look at other things that probably hurt us, there was a very, very persuasive Republicans Against Carrie Lake campaign, where they said, I'm a Republican and I'm not voting for Kerry Lake.
00:17:14.000In fact, we don't need to play the tape, Andrew.
00:19:30.000And so then Liz Cheney probably had 1,000, 2,000, 3,000 strong donors in Arizona, and they started to run these ads.
00:19:38.000Now, the ads that I thought were actually unpersuasive are the ones of Liz Cheney talking about not to vote for Kerry Lake.
00:19:44.000I don't think that would move the dial.
00:19:45.000The one that was persuasive is where they had these very high-definition people sitting in a living room saying, I'm a lifelong Republican and you need to know about Carrie Lake.
00:20:17.000Especially when I'm watching certain Pac-12 teams like the Oregon Ducks.
00:20:21.000And so, therefore, you're just getting inundated with local advertising, right?
00:20:24.000So you have a good idea of what's happening in Arizona.
00:20:27.000And as I was watching this in Arizona, I started to realize there was a total tone shift from the ads where Carrie Lake is too extreme for Arizona, which was definitely designed for independents and designed for early voters, to all of a sudden, I'm a Republican.
00:20:41.000And I think that Carrie Lake is not really the type of Republican we want.
00:20:45.000And that was a five to seven point taper.
00:20:47.000And Andrew, I mean, again, ballot capturing, all that stuff, I mean, machines going down.
00:20:56.000Some of these precincts, our models were thrown off.
00:20:59.000I have to wonder if that advertising campaign where they put five to $10 million in it last two weeks might have made a difference.
00:21:06.000Well, I think you're right, Charlie, because look at the race in the primary that Karen Taylor Robeson ran way closer, especially on election night, than we were expecting.
00:21:19.000That's the establishment wing, the McCain wing of the party.
00:21:23.000I mean, it came out and it surprised a lot of people to the point where we weren't sure that Carrie Lake was going to win on election night in the primary, right?
00:21:32.000I mean, she ended up blowing her away, but think about that percentage of voters.
00:21:37.000If you have five, seven, as we said, some of the numbers say seven to nine percent of Republicans drop off, it's almost like the McCain wing lost the battle, but they ended up winning the war because they were able to disaffect at the end.
00:21:51.000And all of these registration numbers didn't match the voting trends.
00:22:46.000It could have been because she didn't.
00:22:47.000There could have been an arithmetic meme, right?
00:22:48.000I mean, sorry, Jack, finish that thought.
00:22:52.000Well, no, my point is, and going off what Andrew kind of said there, was that she benefited from the turnout, but because, you know, it was sort of like neither side knew which one she was on, they all just kind of voted for her.
00:23:08.000Well, and I think, you know, a theme of this election, guys, is boring one.
00:23:14.000Yeah, I mean, I don't know how to break it down.
00:23:16.000I don't think, I don't think that's the best way to word it.
00:23:19.000I think that it was, it was a blend, right?
00:23:23.000Of I'm going to do strong conservative stuff, but I'm not going to, I'm not going to be in a communication way that doesn't want to make you change the channel if you're an independent.
00:24:34.000And look, at the end of the day, we also have to be smart if we're going to use lawfare, if we're going to use the legal system, because how many lawsuits did we see filed in the wake of 2020?
00:24:45.000And how many of them actually overturned elections?
00:24:49.000Now, there were a few, by the way, late breaking in my home state of Pennsylvania when it came to undated ballots, when it came to signature matching, stuff like that that got overturned.
00:24:59.000But when it came to any of this major stuff, no, I mean, it was not something that was turned over.
00:25:04.000But one dynamic that I just kind of want to throw out at you guys that we're actually pulling out in Pennsylvania, looking at the numbers, and you know, it's interesting you mentioned the boarding candidate because we did obviously have Dr. Oz running for Senate.
00:25:17.000But that in Pennsylvania, it's an entirely different dynamic.
00:25:22.000So it wasn't so much that we had these Republicans who shifted over.
00:25:26.000It's actually something like 10% of the Republicans that we thought were going to come out, they just stayed home.
00:25:32.000They just totally stayed home for Oz and Mastriano.
00:25:35.000So it's like Mastriano gets out the 43%, you know, like that ultra-Trump base that's still in Pennsylvania.
00:25:43.000And then sort of your regular Republicans, but there are all these low-propensity voters that just totally decided to stay home.
00:25:50.000Totally would have been the difference in the Senate race by far, would have definitely made up a lot of ground in the governor's race.
00:25:57.000But that's the fight that we have to look at in Pennsylvania.
00:26:00.000That these guys, for whatever reason, they just decided to stay home election day and they didn't vote early either.
00:26:47.000That's, we, you know, we called another Southern California race this morning.
00:26:50.000I'm telling you, California voters are California candidates, Republican candidates, have been protesting ballot harvesting as much as anybody, but they finally said, screw it.
00:27:02.000If we can't beat them, we got to join them.
00:27:21.000I'll say this about the California deal.
00:27:26.000Number one, anyone in California right now in Southern California that worked hard on this election, you guys deserve immense credit.
00:27:32.000Would not have the House of Representatives without fighters all through California in Kevin Kiley's district and Michelle Steele's district.
00:27:39.000By the way, Katie Porter is on the ropes.
00:29:22.000He has to deal with another assignment that he was up to.
00:29:25.000But just to reiterate for that, that little glitch that happened during the stream earlier, that was not an intended commercial break.
00:29:34.000What we're being told is that was a preloaded thing in the system and it was an accidental cut.
00:29:40.000We brought the stream right back as fast as possible because we are not one of those networks who shall remain nameless that decided to cut away and go to other programming in the middle of the speech.
00:30:56.000Hashtag week, hashtag sleepy Donnie, to which I responded, go ahead and run then.
00:31:01.000Burn another $100 million of Bush money, just like your daddy did.
00:31:05.000Look, imagine, by the way, imagine a Bush or a Cheney or anyone with one of these old dynasty names, a Clinton, you know, going in and saying, we need new leaders.
00:31:15.000Like, I'm sorry, but that just ain't how it works, right?
00:31:40.000He talked about, and honestly, peace, the peace deals, the fact we have only one, think about this, right?
00:31:46.000In a world where we were seriously, for about a two-hour window today, we were in this fog of war situation with Poland and Russia and Ukraine.
00:31:57.000And we didn't know, did Russia bomb Poland?
00:32:00.000Did they shoot missiles into Poland and kill Polish people deliberately?
00:32:08.000You've got one person at the presidential level in the United States.
00:32:13.000And it's just true that has promised and has a track record of actually seeking to fight for world peace, number one, but then number two, to also withstand the temptation for war, right?
00:32:26.000Because it's easy to rattle the sabers.
00:32:28.000It's easy to say, we're going to, you know, go in and we're going to do this.
00:32:31.000And certainly, you know, Donald Trump during his presidency had used the bully pulpit for that.
00:32:36.000You know, remember, everyone remembers my button is bigger than his.
00:32:38.000But it's one thing to say that, but also to promise peace and then to not act on those intentions versus a guy like Bush, who, you know, we all saw what happened there, right?
00:32:50.000And so I really think that when you look at this movement that is a lasting and hopefully a long-lasting effect of the Trump era as we continue into this next phase, by the way, of the Trump era, that the Republican Party being this neocon Warhawk party won't last, that it won't be around forever.
00:33:11.000And that is what we are definitely going to talk about at America Fest, right, Andrew?
00:34:53.000I do want to say this because people, people were calling him saying that I saw a bunch of people and you also saw people in the Never Trump crowd who have been really rearing their heads lately saying, oh, they said, oh, he looks tired.
00:35:06.000To me, I thought it was calm and it was interesting.
00:35:09.000We were joking during the speech a little bit over text that he must have listened to our live stream earlier when we were kind of talking about, because we were just having that exact conversation.
00:35:22.000And I said, look, I did his tweet this.
00:35:24.000I said, look, if Trump gets loud, they call him angry.
00:35:27.000But then if Trump speaks calmly, they call him tired.
00:35:30.000And I just wrote, yawn, you aren't interesting, right?
00:35:33.000But it's really true that if you're looking for a version of Trump to get mad at, well, if you're mad at him being angry, right?
00:35:39.000If he gets loud, he does the whole, they're sending the Mexicans, they're sending the and they're not sending their best.
00:35:52.000I forget if I think that original 2016 speech, right?
00:35:57.000And of course, people are hearkening back to that six years ago, that speech.
00:36:01.000I mean, people were looking at that saying, man, it was just so iconic.
00:36:06.000What do you, you know, you have to, you almost in your mind, you're comparing the two.
00:36:09.000And if I remember that one specifically, he had like maybe a couple of note cards with maybe some talk, like one or two talking points on it.
00:36:32.000And after what happened, I guarantee the feedback that was happening in the Trump world was like, listen, that DeSantis quip went over like a lead balloon.
00:36:44.000Wait, you guys, I think Andrew is burying the lead here.
00:36:47.000I think he, I'm reading between the lines.
00:36:49.000He goes, hmm, somehow Trump world found out exactly what I was talking about.
00:36:53.000Andrew, did you tell us that you had a little hand, a little everybody?
00:36:59.000I'm going to keep things, you know, it's mysterious.
00:37:25.000And listen, what he needed to do tonight, I believe he delivered.
00:37:29.000As soon as that music comes on, as soon as he comes and makes that appearance with all the pageantry, you get a feeling of that magic from 2015, 2016.
00:37:45.000The imagery of this event last night or that we just saw with the Biden dark speech in Philadelphia at Independence Hall.
00:37:55.000And that Biden speech, and it resonates with me so much because, like, I'm from the Philadelphia area.
00:38:00.000I've been going to Independence Hall, I don't know, since as long as I can remember, right?
00:38:06.000You're like every weekend, you're down there.
00:38:08.000And so I've never seen, like, I've never seen that area turned into, you know, a symbol of darkness, a symbol of red evil, the way it looked like it was lit up in those photos.
00:38:23.000You know, taking something that is just an American, an absolute American icon, something that should be beyond partisanship in the Independence Hall itself are, you know, essentially what was, which was, you know, in a sense, was our first capital, right?
00:38:40.000During the Continental Congress, at least.
00:38:42.000People can argue about that, you know.
00:38:44.000But, you know, this whole, well, because you had the court on one side and the Congress on the other side and the executives.
00:38:49.000So it's, you know, it was kind of like our first capital.
00:38:51.000But to take that and turn it into such a dark and negative place where Biden essentially was declaring any Trump supporter to be a, you know, an enemy of the state, an enemy of the deep state, you know, versus with Trump, you know, he's, he talked about inclusion.
00:39:09.000He talked about, he made sure to name the fact that he was, he's, I say, Hispanics, African Americans, Asian Americans.
00:39:17.000Like, this is all people, all Americans.
00:39:20.000I think he needs the taco bowl tweet again.
00:39:23.000That being said, yeah, don't be, don't be scared, right?
00:39:26.000Don't be scared to be the Trump of 2016 either.
00:39:29.000If I could add one note, if I could add one note, I would say don't be scared to kind of go down that, you know, what was the Dave Bossi book, right?
00:39:39.000Don't be scared to kind of let some of those tweets fly, let some of those truths fly.
00:39:43.000By the way, scared to lean in a little bit.
00:39:47.000Speaking of tweets, your tweet flew during that when you added Elon Musk and said, hey, now that he's a announced official candidate, shouldn't he be back on Twitter?
00:40:00.000I mean, if he's going to come back on the Twitter Twitter Trust, I've got one that's absolutely viral right now.
00:40:04.000I mean, it's over, you know, it's over 9,000, right?
00:40:08.000No, but you tweeted that like 10 seconds ago, and it's like 20,000 likes.
00:40:12.000Yeah, so it's, it's, it's, I tagged Elon Musk and I wrote, and I simply wrote it.
00:40:22.000I believe that Americans believe in fairness.
00:40:25.000And I believe that Elon Musk is a guy who's not ideological.
00:40:28.000And I've, I taped a special today, actually, that's going to come out with Darren Beattie this Sunday, but we taped it earlier today where we talked about Elon Musk and we said, look, I don't think Elon is necessarily an ideological conservative or a liberal, but I do think he believes in fair play.
00:40:49.000And the way I tweeted this out, and Elon, of course, has read Darren Beattie's work.
00:40:55.000He's fine because he's just looking for the right answer and he doesn't care where it's from.
00:40:59.000It's like he doesn't have that political correctness gene that all the wokeys and millennials and Zoomers have.
00:41:11.000And so I wrote, look, Elon Musk, there is a declared candidate for the president of the United States who has been banned from Twitter while the incumbent Joe Biden is allowed to tweet every day.
00:41:24.000Will Twitter allow the challenger to use the platform as well in the 2024 election?
00:41:31.000It's the best argument you could make for Trump coming back to Twitter as well as to Trump.
00:41:38.000It's not only an argument that you're making to Elon, you're making it to Trump himself, who's obviously invested in true social, wants to make that platform fly.
00:41:47.000But if he's going to win the reelection in 2024, he's going to have to engage where they ain't, you know, where they are, right?
00:41:56.000And that's, that's, that's on these platforms like Twitter and TikTok, YouTube.
00:42:24.000You really say the truth, President Trump's truths.
00:42:27.000And think about that from a legal perspective, by the way.
00:42:30.000Is Elon Musk really going to sit there and say that the Trump campaign in 2024, which is a new entity that only has only existed for what, a couple of minutes now when he filed the papers?
00:42:40.000That campaign is banned from using Twitter as a platform with its, you know, whatever amount of actual daily users, right?
00:43:04.000And I think it would actually put Twitter in kind of a legal bind because then if they sued, what court is going to sit there and say that there's any standard that would allow a platform to ban only one candidate for office?
00:43:37.000One last point that I want to, that I want to make is it was very interesting.
00:43:44.000They said Trump brought up the fact that he, and he said, he said this before, but he brought up the fact that he would bring back every member of the military that was kicked out over the vaccine and he would restore them to full rank and back pay.
00:44:02.000First of all, obviously, I think that's amazing.
00:44:03.000And I would apply that to every federal worker, by the way.
00:44:06.000And then if you can go into the companies as well, or at least come up with some system of restitution for these people that have been so horribly mistreated.
00:44:13.000But at the same time, it continues to surprise me that Donald Trump seems to be the only politician in America, certainly on the right, that is just seeing this massive amount of free money just sitting on the table of restoring our military members, which I mean, that's like an 80-20 issue, right?
00:44:30.000And nobody else, no other, I mean, I'm not saying McConnell, Rick Scott was trying to run for leader.
00:44:56.000By the way, just so people are aware, Charlie, don't cut away, but Charlie's on Laura Ingram.
00:45:02.000If you want to know what's happening, Charlie's literally reacting to the Paul Pelosi story as NBC had that, Jack, you remember this, that bombshell viral report about how Paul Pelosi opened the door to the police and said, eh, come on in.
00:45:19.000And then he went and like, and then he went back to DePape or whatever it's to Pape.
00:47:22.000We're going to hit you with whatever makes sense.
00:47:24.000I mean, so it sort of doesn't matter what he does, people are going to hit him.
00:47:29.000I think, I think, when he got into troubled territory, it was when he started attacking somebody the base also loves, and that's DeSantis, right?
00:47:58.000He mentioned 2020 one time, from what I can remember.
00:48:03.000And listen, he kind of mentioned it another time.
00:48:04.000I'm going to play cut 334 for you, Jack.
00:48:08.000This is, he does bring, he brings the word rigged into it once, but if you notice the messaging, and this is what's in, I think this is what's interesting.
00:48:57.000To me, that really stood out because I remember one of my favorite lines of so my favorite Trump speech of all time is his 2016 nomination speech at the RNC, where he went for, you know, they attacked him for going so long.
00:49:13.000I wanted him to go longer because he was just this is one in Cleveland where he's just blasting all the things that are wrong with the country and talking.
00:49:21.000And remember, we didn't used to talk about inner city crime.
00:49:24.000We didn't used to talk about all of the issues that we're talking about.
00:49:26.000And finally, he was just breaking the seal, tearing the band-aid off of so many of these issues, illegal immigration, the fact that people are just pouring in across our borders, open borders, everything that had been going on.
00:49:39.000And think of the context of the refugee crisis in 2015 that was happening at the time.
00:49:45.000Now, there was also, though, a moment at 2016 where Peter Thiel spoke.
00:49:51.000And what he said was, and he was discussing Iraq and Afghanistan, and he goes, Look, we decided we decided to invade the Middle East instead of colonizing Mars.
00:50:04.000And I remember with that one sentence, Peter Thiel, it and then and then Trump got up later and he was talking about this.
00:50:11.000By the way, he talked about it at debates.
00:50:14.000And this was, you know, to bring up Jeb Bush again, right?
00:50:16.000This was the big contrast between Trump and Jeb Bush or in sort of the Bush dynasty early on in the election that because people remember Trump beating Clinton.
00:50:27.000They forget the fact that he beat the Bushes first.
00:50:29.000He took down the Bushes before he took down the Clintons.
00:50:46.000So what the point of, if you're going to compare the movement of like a Carrie Lake, which we love, but to a Donald Trump, what makes it so extraordinary?
00:50:57.000And I say this as somebody that's like, I don't love the DeSantis hate.
00:51:06.000I hate it because it divides the base and it creates a whole bunch of questions that don't need to happen.
00:51:10.000But the point is, what makes Trump, what Trump did in 2016 so extraordinary is not only did he slay the Bush East in 2015, but then he overcame them in the general.
00:51:25.000They weren't able to backstab him like they just did maybe Carrie Lake in the general, where enough of them defected and he lost.
00:51:36.000And that is the special gift of Donald Trump that he's able to, he's able to go up against his foes, and then they're not able to take him down enough where he doesn't overcome in the general election.
00:54:00.000Now we're on story number three because I actually read the court documents today because, you know, that's what I do.
00:54:06.000And it said that the police opened the door.
00:54:09.000So we've got three separate stories on this.
00:54:13.000And unfortunately for Paul Pelosi in the state of California, this is something, by the way, that that defendant can now use if he's got a good lawyer, good criminal lawyer.
00:55:10.000You get a Republican attorney general in Arizona.
00:55:13.000It's one of the largest attorney general offices in the country as far as number of attorneys.
00:55:18.000He could uncover all this ballot harvesting stuff.
00:55:21.000He could be a pressure on the governor.
00:55:23.000It would be a total check and balance against the Katie Hobbs regime if Kerry Lake's legal strategy does not prove to be fruitful.
00:55:35.000But, Andrew, now I can say with certainty, with certainty, that Abe Hamaday would have won if the machines would have been working in Maricopa.
00:57:03.000I know people have such low faith in the system, but that's actually the system working.
00:57:07.000Now, the only other thing, though, that is not incorporated in this is maybe, maybe, maybe the 4,570 provisional ballots that will not be counted are those voided votes in those black duffel bags, Andrew.
00:57:58.000I mean, my question for Charlie was: so at this point, what you're talking about, though, is that the Attorney General's race in Arizona may, in fact, come down to people curing their ballots.
00:58:47.000I got to tell you, if you want to look at some consolation, right, of all of this Arizona nonsense, of all of this stuff, if he can get over that hurdle of 777 votes, you got to just win by one vote.
00:59:28.000Well, not only that, but let's keep in mind that it's who's it been that have been really knocking the Biden administration down in the federal courts.
00:59:41.000You saw this in Missouri with their big tech lawsuit.
00:59:46.000You see it in Texas all the time with Ken Paxton.
00:59:48.000I mean, he's really shown us the ability of the attorney general and the importance of the attorney generals across the entire country to not only, number one, obviously maintain law and order and the integrity of their own states, but also to be a bulwark against the overreach, right, of the federal government, which is currently occupied by the Biden regime.
01:00:10.000This could be a massive win if Abe Hamadai is in there with a guy like him.
01:00:16.000I mean, I could taking the two, really a two-track approach here.
01:02:58.000And for anyone out there that didn't vote, I hope Abe wins.
01:03:03.000Hey, the difference between Florida and Arizona, you know, Charlie, you're talking about these ballot harvesters that we've been getting rumors of in Arizona.
01:03:14.000The reason that that happens is because they're not getting prosecuted.
01:03:19.000You got to go with the Florida model where they're making a press conference out of people that they're catching and they're throwing them in prison.
01:03:29.000Even if we have Katie Hobbs as governor, God forbid, in Arizona, if Abe is able to go out and make a showing and perp walk ballot harvesters in a state where it's supposed to be illegal, that means a lot.
01:05:08.000Everybody, if you are being a doomer, if you're being a little black pill out there and saying there are things we can do again, I point you to Southern California where they started harvesting and now conservatives are pulling ahead in the mail-in votes, votes that are coming in.
01:06:51.000Because some people came forward, but let's just say, let's just say there were some names on there in 2016 that have been completely disgraced ever since.
01:07:03.000And there are some names that have, you know, have redeemed themselves, I would say.
01:07:07.000Maybe, honestly, maybe like Katie Pavlich, Brent Bozell being two people that I think are terrific.
01:07:12.000I'm two of the ones that I'm looking at.
01:07:15.000Yeah, there's some people who have, look, and by the way, I've always said this going back to sort of the Never Trump question or just the people that weren't really there in 2016 when your country was on the line and the fate of our children and our future weren't there for us, you know, and you were nowhere to be found in the election of 2016.
01:07:33.000I know where I was, but you know, let's, I have no problem with the November 9th Trump supporter.
01:09:05.000Glenn Beck, David Boaz, Brent Brazil, Mona Charon, Ben Dominic, Dominic, Eric Erickson, of course, Stephen Hayward, Mark Helpern, Bill Crystal, of course, Yuval Levin, Dana Lash.
01:09:26.000Yeah, David McIntosh, Michael Medved, Edwin Meese, Russell Moore, Michael Mucasey, Katie Pavlich, John Poteretz, R.R. Reno, Thomas Soule, and Cal Thomas.
01:09:39.000I'm surprised about Thomas Sowell, too.
01:09:57.000Then, when everybody comes to AmericaFest at Amfest.com promo code Arizona, 50% off, that you will be able to say that you are in a state that is soon to be, soon to be presided over from a chief law enforcement officer of the Republican Party named Abe Hamaday.
01:10:17.000Who is an honorable veteran of the armed forces and just an all-around great patriot.
01:10:22.000All right, guys, I want to shift the attention here.
01:10:43.000But we're going to be asking everyone who sells drugs, gets caught selling drugs, to receive the death penalty for their heinous acts because it's the only way we don't need any more blue ribbon committees.
01:11:01.000We don't need, I don't like to say this, and I don't even know if the American public is ready for it.
01:11:05.000And a lot of my people say, please don't say that, sir.
01:11:39.000He's just going against the bureaucracy and being like, look, I've been around for 40 years and all you stupid rich people have nothing but these committees where you guys get drunk on champagne on a Saturday afternoon and nothing gets done.
01:11:50.000He's like, I'm going to go in and we're going to start killing drug dealers.
01:11:53.000It's like, it's so, it's so to the essence of it.
01:11:58.000That's basically, you know, you mentioned Aspen.
01:12:00.000That's basically the, that's brought up in the movie in the great American cinema classic Dumb and Dumber, where Harry and Lloyd, right, when they go to meet, I think, the girl for the first time, where they go to meet Mary for the first time, and they're basically at one of those blue ribbon fundraisers for, you know, save the owls, and then they kill the owl.
01:12:38.000But I think what he's getting at there, though, is he's in a very similar way to build the wall in 2016, kill the drug dealers, actually kind of, it kind of fits that same type of political resonance of an image.
01:12:57.000And the great image of 2016 was Trump building the wall.
01:13:01.000One of the images, I'm not going to say the great image, but the image, the brutal image, that you can't not picture that, right?
01:13:11.000And for some reason, in my mind, I'm already thinking firing squad, even though I don't think any states still do that.
01:13:16.000But in my mind, you can just kind of see it, right?
01:13:18.000You could just kind of see a drug dealer and Trump being there and sentencing it.
01:13:22.000And so he's, you notice he's already using this same type of imagery.
01:13:26.000And instead of saying, you know, it's one thing for Republicans to get up there and your typical politician will say, I'm going to be tough on crime.
01:13:38.000But for him to get up there and say, we need to start killing drug dealers, that just changes the entire thing.
01:13:44.000It's one of those proposals that just kind of sucks all the air out of the room and makes everyone start debating, well, should we kill the drug dealers?
01:13:50.000Maybe we shouldn't kill the drug dealers.
01:13:51.000Maybe we should just maim the drug dealers.
01:14:24.000But what I will always, always be grateful for, I will never forget in 2014, 2015, I thought the country had completely lost the plot with immigration.
01:14:35.000I'm more conservative than probably either of you when it comes to immigration.
01:18:17.000Tyler, for example, I brought up the point, and maybe you can reinforce it, that what Florida is doing is they're going after ballot harvesters.
01:18:24.000They're going after election fraudsters.
01:18:27.000If Abe gets in, even with Katie in the governor's mansion, we can do that in Arizona.
01:18:36.000Yeah, so I mean, look, it's going to be a lot tougher.
01:18:41.000But like, imagine this: if Abe Homeday is in there and we're talking about recalling because we find out all the things that actually went wrong with this election, and all of a sudden, you might have actually some movement between the legislature and the governor.
01:18:59.000Now, I'm not convinced that this election, you know, we didn't outrightly win with Carrie Lake because we had thousands and thousands of voters turned away at the polls.
01:19:12.000And those affidavits are being collected right now.
01:19:16.000And this is going to create a serious problem because, you know, Abe Homeday is going to be in automatic recount territory.
01:19:24.000Automatic recount territory means, you know, there's going to be every introspection into every vote you could possibly think of.
01:19:32.000If we come up with a bunch more stuff here, you know, that's going to create a lot of uncertainty amongst the voters about this election between Carrie Lake and Katie Hobbs.
01:19:43.000And again, if Abe gets elected, which is what we need, and he investigates all this, you know, it's not out of the realm to think that the voters are going to demand a new election, whether a new election that a judge says that we have, which may or may not happen, but a recall election can certainly happen.
01:20:03.000I think it's six statutory six months after she takes office.
01:20:08.000So, Tyler, our audience, I'm looking at the chat.
01:20:12.000They are asking, what does ballot curing mean?
01:20:24.000So if you had an issue that it went in, it went in and you had an issue with your ballot, you got to fix it in order for your vote to count.
01:20:34.000So there are thousands and thousands of ballots right now that votes aren't counting.
01:20:48.000So what you got to do is you got to go to carrylake.com slash cure and all the instructions for every county are on there.
01:20:55.000Maricopa County actually has a curing process by text message.
01:21:01.000I'll actually tweet out that that text link again so that everybody can see it because this could come down to one, two, three, five votes.
01:23:03.000I don't know if people realize that, that how much she, how active, I think, I think people have this vision of, you know, Ivanka as sort of like, you know, she's, you know, up in the tower and she's got all these servants and courtiers and maids and security to run.
01:23:20.000No, she does all that stuff by herself.
01:23:22.000She does all of that stuff by herself.
01:23:41.000And if you are in Arizona right now, you need to cure your ballot right now.
01:23:49.000Also, we are going to give away a couple more copies of my book.

01:24:12.000And it looks like we're going to be back here tomorrow, Jack and Andrew, because we got more ballots to look at with Abe Homeday, which is the future of Arizona and the future of the republic.
01:24:21.000We get Abe in, we will have a vessel to be able to fix this mess.
01:24:26.000Charlie says all the people say all hope is lost.
01:24:42.000And I, man, if Abe wins this thing, we will have real, tangible deliverable from this Arizona election to make sure it never happens again.
