00:00:59.380 concern. As Donald Trump stated, stranger things have happened when asked, will he invoke a national

00:01:07.340 security emergency on the election to mandate voter ID, a restriction on mail-in voting?

00:01:15.760 Citing a Supreme Court case from 1983, they say that Donald Trump can institute a national

00:01:22.960 emergency, and it would require a two thirds vote from the House and the Senate to override. And

00:01:29.140 thus, Trump would get everything that he wants. Now, Trump's response was stranger things have

00:01:35.420 happened as if to imply it's on the table. But I'm not entirely convinced. Trump has not done

00:01:41.060 everything that he could do to pass the SAFE Act. So we will see as we get closer to the midterms.

00:01:47.000 We're now just about a little bit less than three months out. If Trump is willing to go as far as

00:01:51.760 executive authority and declaring a national emergency. That's a bold, bold move,

00:01:57.480 especially considering, guys, I'm not convinced that Donald Trump actually needs to.

00:02:03.180 When you take a look at the current DSA polling, the rise of these progressives in Michigan,

00:02:08.520 New York, Colorado, it is apocalyptic for Democrats to the point where they're discussing

00:02:14.680 dumping money to target members of their own party. This is amazing. But independents

00:02:22.020 view the DSA negatively at a rate of four to one over the Republican Party. The Republican Party

00:02:31.080 has a net positivity view among independents one point one. And, you know, that might sound not so

00:02:39.000 good. But the DSA is negative, substantially more negative, they say in the polling four to one

00:02:45.680 worse than that. I don't know how they're actually weighing that metric. But suffice to say,

00:02:50.300 if you had five people, four of them would be voting for the Republicans and one would be

00:02:55.880 voting for the DSA, which is the data that we talked about in this past week, not to mention

00:03:00.260 with the redistricting efforts, the procedural victories and also Trump's executive orders on

00:03:04.980 the post office. I don't know why Trump would actually need to invoke this emergency to do it.

00:03:10.600 Maybe he's just saying stranger things have happened because he doesn't want to say he's

00:03:15.640 going to do nothing. Don't give your opponents definitive answers on the moves you may make.

00:03:21.080 It's actually one of Trump's known strategies. I think it's actually a fairly common basic thing

00:03:25.580 is if, you know, he said this at press conferences when we're talking about Iran or whatever.

00:03:30.280 When you ask me if I'm willing to use certain, why would I say no? Why am I going to tell my

00:03:34.600 enemies what I am or am not willing to do. Suffice to say, my friends, we are getting

00:03:39.860 closer to the midterm election in November, and it's going to get juicy. So just a couple hours

00:03:46.240 before recording this video, the White House updated their election integrity page on the

00:03:53.240 official government website, listing more instances of election integrity issues. So,

00:03:58.500 Oh, boy, my friends, here we go.

00:04:02.460 Now, I'm going to play the video for you.

00:04:03.880 Before we do, head over to TimCast.com and click Join Now to be the change that you want to see in this world.

00:04:34.340 in politics.

00:04:34.800 I do everything I can already.

00:04:37.440 I stay informed.

00:04:38.680 I take those smaller actions where I can think locally, affect globally.

00:04:44.580 Well, I say to you, outsource that task to all of us.

00:05:00.160 Stand up with us. Let's jump into the story, my friends. They say Trump doesn't deny a possible

00:05:06.900 federal takeover of elections. Well, we have the video from our good friend Ed Krasenstein.

00:05:12.060 You know him, you love him. He says, it's happening. It is. Trump just hinted that he

00:05:16.520 might declare a national security emergency for elections. If they can't win the elections,

00:05:21.000 they will stop them. That's how far MAGA will go. I love this. He says it is happening and that

00:05:27.940 Trump is hinting that he might. Which is it, Ed? Is it happening or is he hinting that it might?

00:05:34.220 Here's the interview from Real America's Voice.

00:05:37.280 So let me put an idea in your head, OK? Because it's so hard to get the Senate to do anything,

00:05:43.980 now they're on recess, they don't get anything done if they never get the Save America Act done.

00:05:49.560 You have the right to declare a national security emergency for elections.

00:05:55.540 And the Supreme Court ruled in 1983 under Reagan that INS versus Chata, that if you

00:06:02.800 declare a national security emergency as the president of the United States, they can't

00:06:07.240 challenge it.

00:06:07.940 It can only be overturned by a two-thirds vote of both houses of Congress.

00:06:12.940 So if you do this in the next month, we will get photo ID, proof of citizenship and a limit to mail in ballots.

00:06:21.720 And let me just say that stranger things have happened.

00:06:24.080 OK, I'll leave it at that.

00:06:25.480 All right, we'll leave it at that.

00:06:26.940 Stranger things have happened.

00:06:28.500 I'll leave it at that.

00:06:29.400 Could you imagine if Donald Trump decided to go with something stranger than this?

00:06:33.440 Let's check it out.

00:06:33.980 We've got this.

00:06:34.720 This is INS Vichata.

00:06:36.300 The Supreme Court affirmed the court's Court of Appeals judgment in an opinion by Chuff, Chuff, Chief Justice Berger, Berger.

00:06:45.820 The court held the resolution of the House of Representatives vetoing the attorney general's determination was constitutionally invalid, unenforceable and not binding.

00:06:53.200 Congress may not primulgate a statute granting itself a legislative veto over actions of the executive branch inconsistent with bicameralism principle of the presentment clause of the United States Constitution.

00:07:07.540 That's exactly what I was saying.

00:07:09.820 The bicameralism principle of the presentments clause would be violated by this proposed promulgation of a legislative veto.

00:07:17.080 Everybody knows that.

00:07:19.420 OK, well, anyway, what they're saying is this.

00:07:22.360 The president's basically like, hey, I'm going to take an executive action that is entitled to me under the Constitution.

00:07:27.800 The House of Representatives says we all voted to say no to that.

00:07:32.060 And the Supreme Court was like, no, no, no, no, no. 0.91

00:07:33.960 Hold on there a gosh darn minute.

00:07:35.900 You can't just vote an assertion over the executive.

00:07:39.980 You are going to need a two thirds majority.

00:07:43.240 They're going to say the court rebutted Congress's assertions as follows.

00:07:45.700 244c2 of the Immigration and Nationality Act is severable from the rest of the act pursuant

00:07:50.400 to the express severability of clause 406. The legislative history of 244 supports the

00:07:55.860 proposition that Congress, frustrated with the process of passing private laws to provide

00:07:59.460 relief for deportable individuals, would likely not have been willing to retain the private law

00:08:04.500 mechanism rather than ceding all power to the Attorney General. The Attorney General and IAS

00:08:08.180 did not waive their right to challenge the constitutionality of the statute by enforcing

00:08:11.700 the statute. Okay, okay. Simply put, long story short, it's real easy. You will need a two-thirds

00:08:19.200 majority of both chambers, which is a check on the president's executive authority. If the

00:08:24.600 president says there's an emergency, you can't just pass a simple majority bill being like,

00:08:29.300 nah, president can't do any of that stuff. We got this from Democracy Docket. You'll love them.

00:08:35.320 These are the libs, the Democrats. They don't like Trump. They say Trump signals openness to

00:08:39.840 unconstitutional plot to take over elections. We call that a subjective qualifying adjective,

00:08:46.720 unconstitutional. It is not material to what Trump is doing. Whether it is or is not has not

00:08:52.720 been determined by courts or law or the judiciary. And as such, we don't know exactly the extent of

00:09:01.200 Trump's authority. Now, of course, they're taking the approach that Donald Trump declaring an

00:09:06.800 emergency on the election. So that requires a, I guess, voter ID and it would require

00:09:15.220 restrictions on universal mail mail-in voting. We don't know the constitutionality of that

00:09:20.920 until a judge says so. But they're saying it would be unconstitutional, right? That's their

00:09:26.840 opinion. They're entitled to that. But of course, they're going to say this. Let me say stranger

00:09:31.320 things have happened. Indeed, they have. At the same time, the Brennan Center says Trump's

00:09:36.520 losing its fight to take over elections. The president's strategy has faced defeat at every

00:09:40.640 turn so far. So what are you talking about? All right, well, here we go. Here's Google.

00:09:47.500 Of course, in the process of investigating for this segment, the story that I do,

00:09:51.800 follow me on X and Instagram, subscribe to this channel, of course. You can see that when I

00:09:55.780 searched Trump and election, WhiteHouse.gov popped up for election integrity with an update

00:10:00.220 two hours ago. I find that to be very interesting. Now, you may have seen this when Donald Trump

00:10:05.880 came out and has made his announcement about vulnerabilities in electronic voting and ballot

00:10:10.140 counting systems. He gave an address on it. Here we go, July 16th. So we're talking about just

00:10:13.820 about a month ago. We have China's acquisition and exploitation of voter data, Michigan voter

00:10:19.520 registration investigation, and non-citizens in the state voter rolls. But wait, we now have

00:10:24.980 updates. Presumably, this is one of the updates, the Oxford comma documents. The FBI opened a

00:10:31.800 criminal probes specifically targeting Donald Trump in May of 2017, alleging the newly elected

00:10:36.580 president may have may have been acting as a Russian asset when he fired then director James

00:10:41.120 Comey, even though the bureau's own evidence overwhelmingly showed at the time there was no

00:10:44.060 collusion with the Kremlin. Donald Trump has the authority as the president to fire the head of the

00:10:48.260 FBI. This is insane. And they retaliated against him because he was interfering with the deep state.

00:10:54.940 Internal FBI memos newly declassified by the White House showed the investigation

00:10:59.860 code named Oxford with an E comma was launched in the immediate aftermath of Comey's firing

00:11:05.320 and was predicated on an allegation that previously previously released records show

00:11:09.380 the Bureau's own agents had mostly dismissed. Now we have this, the Maricopa County data breach.

00:11:16.780 Arizona's largest county suffered a significant breach of its election data in the days before

00:11:20.960 the 2020 presidential election when a self-described hacker foiled security and obtained

00:11:25.340 633,000 voter registration files. But the Biden Justice Department and local prosecutors declined

00:11:30.880 to bring charges even after the FBI got the suspect to confess, according to declassified

00:11:35.840 documents made public Thursday by the White House. Scraping of the Maricopa County's voter

00:11:39.940 registration files was the most flagged security incident in a cyber intrusion log by U.S. spy

00:11:44.860 agencies in the days around November 3rd, 2020 election. It caused an extensive FBI investigation

00:11:49.540 that led agents to a home in Fountainville, Arizona, the memos show. And next, the March toll.

00:11:55.340 The FBI opened a probe into sitting Attorney General Jeff Sessions in May of 2017, potentially making false statements to Congress about Russian contacts.

00:12:05.220 And we'll continue the DOJ and DHS election enforcement actions.

00:12:09.100 Now, this is the one that ultimately matters.

00:12:11.640 The Department of Justice Civil Rights Division, working jointly with the Department of Homeland Security, maintains an ongoing record of nationwide enforcement actions to safeguard election integrity.

00:12:18.280 This includes lawsuits against states for failure to produce voter rolls, investigations and prosecutions related to non-citizen voting and other measures under executive order one, four, two, four, eight.

00:12:30.160 And then you can view the I believe we have the the interactive map.

00:12:33.980 Let's pull this up and see what we get.

00:12:36.640 Nationwide enforcement actions.

00:12:38.220 Look at all this.

00:12:39.440 So I just want to I just want to stress.

00:12:42.080 I just it's all fake and everyone's lying.

00:12:44.680 And when they're saying Trump's going to take it, they've already got federal DHS and DOJ enforcement actions underway.

00:12:52.060 They are going nuclear already.

00:12:54.840 They don't need this emergency declaration.

00:12:57.500 I mean, look at all this, all of these stories.

00:13:00.220 Washington, DOJ sued Washington, Oregon, DOJ issued a statement.

00:13:03.980 They sued Oregon.

00:13:04.880 They sued California.

00:13:05.960 I mean, come on, Illinois.

00:13:08.700 DOJ sued Illinois for failing to provide.

00:13:10.720 OK, we get it.

00:13:12.220 OK, so they're fear mongering.

00:13:14.680 it's what they're doing. But let's talk about whether or not Trump needs to do any of that

00:13:18.540 stuff. Eric Daugherty says President Trump now has this as his pinned post. Kamala Harris panicking

00:13:24.860 as she says the Save America Act makes you give proof of who you are to vote. Okay, let's go. 0.99

00:13:29.920 Everybody. So they're trying to mess with your ability to vote just to break it all down.

00:13:35.360 You've got the Supreme Court. They just sealed the deal with this case that just came up recently,

00:13:40.360 the Calais decision, which basically took the power out of the Voting Rights Act, which

00:13:44.720 was designed to protect your right to vote.

00:13:46.460 So you got the Supreme Court doing its thing.

00:13:49.400 Then this president is trying to push this SAVE Act, which basically would require that

00:13:57.680 for people to register to vote, you're going to have to have proof of who you are through

00:14:03.480 a passport, which a lot of Americans don't have, or a birth certificate.

00:14:08.720 Same point.

00:14:09.800 Obstacle.

00:14:10.360 to make it difficult.

00:14:12.180 You can't get a job.

00:14:13.480 You need to get your ID.

00:14:15.760 She also left out your ID is good enough as well.

00:14:17.880 For you to register to vote.

00:14:19.600 Everybody, so...

00:14:21.080 It's all fake news, but I love it too,

00:14:23.080 because the point is,

00:14:24.760 most people in this country agree

00:14:26.720 you should have to prove who you are

00:14:27.960 to register to vote.

00:14:29.920 New midterm battleground takes shape

00:14:31.880 as parties build election armies.

00:14:34.300 RNC hails record-setting grassroots recruitment

00:14:36.340 on Tuesday's National Poll Worker Recruitment Day.

00:14:39.980 Really.

00:14:41.460 We have more poll workers in 26th cycle than we did in the 24th cycle.

00:14:45.160 Republican National Committee Chair Joe Gruters told Fox News Digital in a recent interview,

00:14:50.060 we're better prepared.

00:14:51.160 We have staffers in 25 states.

00:14:52.700 We're on the ground ready to battle.

00:14:54.060 The Republicans have over a billion dollars for the midterms and Democrats have 300 million.

00:14:58.320 When you look at just the committees, the Republican committees have 200 million and

00:15:02.580 Democrats have negative.

00:15:04.180 They're in debt.

00:15:05.460 They got some cash on hand, but they're cooked.

00:15:07.880 I love this.

00:15:09.140 The big risk, the big question, why should Trump bother with any of this national takeover stuff when this is what you get from the Democratic socialists, which are ripping the Democrats to shreds?

00:15:22.500 Well, what I would say is that we're dramatically overspending on police right now.

00:15:34.860 I understand. The goal is to defund the police department so we don't need them in the future.

00:15:39.140 I think it's what we really want to see is a horizon where folks are not reliant on armed enforcement to meet our public safety needs.

00:15:47.580 Right. But it says defund police on the website. That's your goal.

00:15:51.620 And also to get rid of prisons and jails. Correct. Yes.

00:15:55.840 So if my if my daughter is assaulted and raped, is there any agency that would seek to find her assailant and bring him to justice?

00:16:06.080 of course yeah of course what would it be if not police and where would he be if not a jail 0.83

00:16:10.680 so um i guess these people are clowns avoid getting kind of caught into these uh hypotheticals

00:16:17.560 and talk more about the reality that we're actually facing right now which is that we're 0.91

00:16:21.600 spending absolutely outrageous amounts of money on police and policing and we're not spending

00:16:27.080 money on things that actually make people safe and feel safe which is things like actually well

00:16:32.120 lit streets at the streetlights in Los Angeles. Everybody agrees it's a huge problem. Clown show,

00:16:38.380 my friends, clown show, clown show from the dispatch. This is a story titled Democratic 0.93

00:16:46.160 Socialism is a big problem. It is deeply unpopular with voters. Progressive Democrats are on a roll.

00:16:53.420 Michigan has become ground zero when this falls midterms. And stop me if you've heard this one.

00:16:56.900 The polls got it wrong there. These are among the topics dominating political discourse following

00:17:01.120 Abdul El-Sayed's hairbreadth victory. And they're going to mention the polls and blah,

00:17:05.160 blah, blah. So let's scroll down a little bit. A late July poll in Wisconsin by the Marquette

00:17:08.380 Law School headlined Hong's 11-point lead in the race, while noting the large share of voters,

00:17:14.980 45 percent, were still undecided. Yet beyond the horse race, the poll found more than twice as

00:17:19.160 many Wisconsin voters viewed Democratic Socialists unfavorably, is favorably, 55 to 25.

00:17:24.760 Interestingly, when pollsters asked a separate group of voters specifically about the Democratic

00:17:28.620 Socialists of America, the results were less than one sided were less one sided. Sorry, 43 percent

00:17:34.740 favorable, 25 percent unfavorable, but mostly just because more respondents said they hadn't

00:17:39.540 heard enough to offer an opinion. So let's scroll down. Independence, always crucially important and

00:17:46.120 a state famous for its razor thin elections, viewed Democratic Socialism negatively by four

00:17:51.520 to one. Republicans, you ask, 1% favorable. Holy crap. So what? They have like a 75%

00:17:59.060 unfavorability? They say the polls internals underscore deeply bifurcated attitudes towards

00:18:05.280 democratic socialism. Quite simply, liberals like it when most everyone else, including more

00:18:09.040 moderate Democrats, are either negative or still making up their minds. Very liberal Democrats

00:18:13.040 view democratic socialism favorably to an astounding 82% to three. Among liberals,

00:18:18.940 It's still 10. The balance is 10 to 1. Meanwhile, among Wisconsin's conservatives who comprise close

00:18:25.160 to half of all their voters in a state where the Democratic frontrunner is for the party's

00:18:29.740 gubernatorial nomination carries that label, a 56 percent majority offered no opinion of

00:18:34.160 democratic socialism among the remainder, slightly more viewed it favorably than unfavorably, which

00:18:38.420 is pretty. These are conservative and moderate Democrats. Yet independence, where it really

00:18:43.320 Matters said, no way. So I think about this. We've seen the polls quite a bit. And we have

00:18:51.580 another story for you guys. We've seen the polls quite a bit. Democratic socialism is deeply

00:18:54.480 unpopular. So do you really think Trump's going to need to do it? I mean, I got to be honest,

00:18:58.840 I wouldn't care if he did. Are we going to have elections where people prove who they are to vote?

00:19:03.760 I don't believe it makes sense to just let any random person vote. So here's where the real hit

00:19:10.120 is. Zoran Mamdani's Peter Thier got struck down by a Democrat. That's how deeply unpopular this

00:19:16.540 stuff is. Hold your fire for the moment anyway. New York City's mayor, Zoran Mamdani, filing a

00:19:22.240 new appeal after a judge temporarily blocked the rollout of Mayor Z's controversial tax on

00:19:28.580 luxury second homes. It's all about more revenue and Alexis McAdams is on it. She's live here in

00:19:35.480 New York with more. Where do we stand, Alexis? What's next? Hello. Hi, Bill. Yeah. So this New

00:19:39.500 THE CITY'S ROLLOUT OF NEW YORK

00:19:41.600 CITY'S ROLLOUT OF NEW YORK

00:19:42.860 CITY'S ROLLOUT OF NEW YORK

00:19:44.260 JUDGE, WHO IS A DEMOCRAT,

00:19:45.760 IMPORTANT TO KNOW THAT, RULING

00:19:47.260 THE MAMDANI ADMINISTRATION MADE

00:19:48.600 A BIG MISTAKE WITH THE ROLLOUT 0.96

00:19:50.300 OF THIS PIE DE TERRE TAX BY

00:19:52.020 PUTTING THE BURDEN ON THE

00:19:53.360 TAXPAYERS HERE.

00:19:54.380 SO MAYOR MAMDANI HAD PROMISED

00:19:56.280 THIS TAX WOULD TARGET THE RICH.

00:19:57.920 HE ROLLED OUT ALL OF THOSE

00:19:59.320 VIDEOS SAYING TO CHECK YOUR

00:20:00.720 MAIL.

00:20:01.280 WELL, IT WAS SUPPOSED TO ONLY

00:20:03.180 IMPACT PEOPLE WHO HAVE

00:20:04.960 MULTIMILLION-DOLLAR SECOND

00:20:06.500 that their primary homes were on this list.

00:20:09.940 And the judge, who, as I mentioned, is a Democrat,

00:20:11.780 ruled in their favor and told the city

00:20:13.320 to remove the list of the addresses

00:20:14.920 and names that were posted online,

00:20:17.140 telling the city it should have done the work

00:20:18.820 to find what homeowners actually qualified,

00:20:21.300 not just putting everyone on the list

00:20:22.700 and saying, prove you don't owe the money.

00:20:24.480 Because it's not about the tax,

00:20:26.080 it's about terrorizing wealth.

00:20:27.740 It's about destroying property value.

00:20:29.720 Those buildings that were listed in that spreadsheet,

00:20:33.420 who's gonna wanna buy it?

00:20:34.860 Let's say it is worth five million bucks and you're trying to sell.

00:20:37.540 Someone's going to be like, nah, Zorn Mandani is coming after you, dude.

00:20:39.900 He's publishing this. 0.99

00:20:40.760 People are going to kill you. 0.99

00:20:41.660 It's crazy. 0.58

00:20:42.740 We are seeing Democrats on podcasts saying, if not to incite violence, why would you do this?

00:20:51.360 Democrats don't even like the DSA.

00:20:53.980 So my friends, as we see these stories claiming that Donald Trump is going to do all of the most dastardly things imaginable.

00:21:01.100 And we say to ourselves, please, I hope he does.

00:21:04.920 He probably won't.

00:21:07.020 He doesn't need to, but we will see.

00:21:10.420 I don't know if the Democrats have it in them.

00:21:12.200 I mean, AOC coming out the other day and saying woke one was crazy.

00:21:14.760 I'm like, wow.

00:21:16.400 So they've abandoned that.

00:21:18.160 That's big news.
