In a rare display of integrity, a Democrat judge in the deep blue state of Connecticut overturned a local mayoral primary race, Democrat versus Democrat, as the judge ordered a new election after witnessing massive fraud on video. Back in September, mayoral challenger John Gomes' campaign revealed a video showing a woman dropping stacks of illegal ballots into a drop box outside the Bridgeport Government Center in the wee hours of the morning. That woman happened to be the vice chairwoman of the Democratic Town Committee and a supporter of the incumbent mayor seeking re-election. And not surprisingly, Gomes wound up losing that September primary by only 251 votes, and coincidentally, he was beaten by those absentee ballots.

00:01:18.340 Hello, everybody. I'm Lou Dobbs. Welcome to The Great America Show. Thanks for being with
00:01:26.740 us. In a rare display of integrity, a Democrat judge in the deep blue state of Connecticut
00:01:32.640 overturned a local mayoral primary race, Democrat versus Democrat, as the judge ordered a new election
00:01:40.940 after witnessing massive fraud on video. Back in September, Bridgeport mayoral challenger
00:01:47.740 John Gomes' campaign revealed a video showing a woman dropping stacks of illegal ballots into a 0.97
00:01:54.220 drop box directly outside the Bridgeport Government Center in the wee hours of the morning. That's
00:02:01.280 right. Right in plain sight, on camera, cheating and cheating some more. The Gomes campaign was able
00:02:09.100 to identify the woman in the video. She happened to be the vice chairwoman of the Democratic town
00:02:14.660 Clark and a supporter of the incumbent mayor seeking re-election. And not surprisingly,
00:02:20.900 Gomes wound up losing that September primary by only 251 votes, and coincidentally, he was beaten
00:02:28.780 two to one by those absentee ballots. Superior Court Judge William Clark, to his credit, and we salute
00:02:36.100 him, declared the volume of ballots were so mishandled, so egregiously, that he threw out the rigged
00:02:42.740 primary election and ordered a new election. And here is the challenger, John Gomes. John,
00:02:48.500 great to have you with us. You've got to be pleased. Without a doubt, it is an unprecedented
00:02:54.300 moment here as far as we're looking at history and the outcome of the campaign, as you said.
00:02:59.920 The primary, which happened on September 12th, which I was victorious on the polls by 470 votes
00:03:06.260 and turned out to lose after the polls closed by 251 votes, we came across evidence that showed
00:03:15.720 tampering with ballot stuffing of illegal absentee ballots, and we presented our case.
00:03:23.680 And two days ago, we became, the judge awarded us the case, and we became, we were victorious
00:03:29.300 and ordered a new primary. Right. What a judge. What a judge. I mean, I have to salute him
00:03:36.540 and his decision. Not many judges have had the guts to do what he did. Your thoughts?
00:03:45.620 Well, I definitely agree. We're grateful to have this judgment. But at the same time,
00:03:52.480 we understand that here at Bridgeport, we have had our issues with absentee ballot and its impact
00:03:57.700 on the outcome of elections, both going back to 2017 to 2022, which was state district election.
00:04:08.280 But we also had issues with 2019 mayoral election, which actually has been referred for criminal charges
00:04:14.460 for some perpetrators and equally for our campaign or our election now in 2023. The only difference with
00:04:22.760 our election in 2023 was that the evidence was overwhelming. It was video showing, you know,
00:04:29.360 in excess of over, as the case pointed out, I believe almost 1,300 votes that were unaccounted for.
00:04:37.900 Right. And without question, Connecticut and Bridgeport have had a history of issues, I'll put it that way.
00:04:47.400 But this is, it's predominantly, is it not, a Democratic stronghold?
00:04:54.100 Well, you know, speaking, I mean, the experience where I live here at Bridgeport, I can definitely
00:04:58.860 tell you we've had issues with absentee ballot here in Bridgeport. Obviously, you know, what's going
00:05:05.280 on nationally or Democratic parties. Sorry, sorry, John. But it is a predominantly Democratic city,
00:05:13.600 right? Right. In Bridgeport. Yes. In Bridgeport, I will talk directly with that. Yes. It's a 95%,
00:05:20.560 94%, 94%, predominantly Democrat. And so they're cheating each other. I mean, the party,
00:05:26.840 they couldn't find any Republicans, so they decided to cheat each other. Is that what we're
00:05:31.140 figuring out here? Well, this, what we've shown was that there is an overwhelming amount of evidence
00:05:39.880 that there was a conspiracy within the party, within the town committee and elected officials
00:05:46.480 to steal the election away from me and from my voters. And we prevailed upon presenting all
00:05:54.620 the evidence in the case.
00:05:56.720 And you, I infer, you think it was racially motivated. Is that what you're saying?
00:06:03.880 No, not racially motivated. It was greed motivated. It's, you know, when you have certain people that
00:06:12.580 have been, you know, chair of the party for decades upon decades and controlled the majority,
00:06:19.120 they do not want to let go, even though the people want change. And, you know, thank God that we came
00:06:25.080 across the evidence to present it otherwise with what happened with the tampering.
00:06:28.920 And so what happens now? Will there be an investigation? Will people be held to account?
00:06:37.340 Will there be law enforcement investigations here? Or will it be a matter that if you prevail,
00:06:44.180 for example, because you're on the independent ticket as well, will it just be sort of,
00:06:52.120 you know, bygones or bygones and we'll move on from here?
00:06:55.120 I hope not. I hope that justice serves itself through. There are, the SEC is currently looking
00:07:06.260 at some mishandling and complaints that have been submitted. They've also taken possession of the
00:07:13.080 evidence from the register office. And, you know, we're hoping that it doesn't end this way,
00:07:23.420 that there is some criminal justice, criminal justification done and arrests made to those
00:07:28.320 that perpetrated this conspiracy and this act purposely, purposely and malicious and attacked
00:07:33.560 civil rights of all the voters here in Bridgeport.
00:07:37.360 And you're thinking, did you have a suspicion that this might be a rigged election, this primary election
00:07:44.340 going into it?
00:07:45.900 Well, you know, you always have your doubt. You do everything you can with the campaign to strategic
00:07:51.840 plan for everything that you could think could go wrong. But no way that we imagine the magnitude
00:07:59.620 of what we discovered. It's beyond belief. Just a mere fact to look at the number of times the ballots
00:08:07.280 were stopped by some of the people. There really, there was no word to describe it beyond it was
00:08:16.040 unbelievable.
00:08:17.660 And unbelievable, which is what a lot of people have been talking about a number of rigged elections
00:08:23.060 here in recent years. The judge in this case stands out because he actually did something.
00:08:30.720 And to what degree, I mean, what is your reaction to this judge and to the system of justice,
00:08:40.320 at least in Bridgeport? I mean, it is so commendable. And so to me, brave of him in this day and age
00:08:48.840 to stand up against election fraud. He deserves, I think, a pillar or a statue or something in the
00:08:57.540 center of Bridgeport. Well, obviously, the positive thing, the positive outcome is that, you know,
00:09:06.000 the evidence that we presented brought clear spotlight to what has been happening during the
00:09:11.880 last several elections here in Bridgeport. We definitely applaud the judge. And most of all,
00:09:17.400 it restores, it begins the process of healing, healing for the residents of Bridgeport, at least
00:09:24.880 one step there. And what we're saying as a candidate is for all the voters to please show
00:09:32.940 up on November 7th and cast their vote and make sure it's count equally and fairly. And if they
00:09:38.220 have any doubt in regards to absentee ballot process, go in person and vote. But we definitely
00:09:43.300 agree that, you know, it's unprecedented with Judge Clark did.
00:09:48.060 Unprecedented and, as I said, commendable. On Tuesday, what are your polls showing? What is
00:09:58.520 your judgment about what is happening in the community? You talked about healing. There's a
00:10:03.480 strange aspect of this in that it is all intra-Democratic Party. The Democratic Party is usually
00:10:12.200 conformist and march on lockstep. What is the what is the source of the fissure that divides the
00:10:21.720 Democrat Party there? Well, I think it's just select a few within the Democratic Party here in
00:10:28.060 Bridgeport that's looking to maintain their interest and continue to have an inclusive
00:10:32.700 corrupt system for themselves here in Bridgeport. And fortunately, with the evidence presented,
00:10:40.080 we hope to break that. And again, with the vote voters come out on September, I mean,
00:10:46.000 on November 7th and cast their vote, we've been talking to, you know, the voters here in Bridgeport
00:10:51.680 across all party lines, not only the Democrat, Independent, Republican and affiliate. And the
00:10:57.520 sentiment is equal that they're all tired of what has happened. They're tired of the consistency of the
00:11:03.360 voter oppression. And now there's a sprinkle of hope that things will change based on this decision that
00:11:09.280 was made. This historic decision that was made two days ago by Judge Clark.
00:11:15.200 As you say, historic, because this had been the integrity of the election or lack of integrity of
00:11:21.760 elections has been, in your judgment, been going on for quite some time. John, we appreciate you being
00:11:30.880 with us. And thanks for telling us your story. And best of luck on Tuesday.
00:11:35.840 Well, thank you. And I appreciate the opportunity. And again, you know, I look forward to seeing the
00:11:44.080 voters out there on November 7th, and I'll be on row D1. Thank you. Thanks. Thanks so much, John. Best of
00:11:52.160 luck. Thank you.
00:11:53.440 Just so we all don't forget that there's very little integrity in our judicial system and our
00:11:58.640 federal government, particularly in the DOJ. The DOJ is still arresting January 6th demonstrators,
00:12:05.040 almost three years later, throwing Trump supporters in jail. The Biden regime and the Marxist Dems want
00:12:11.600 more political prisoners. When we return, our guest is the victim of the Marxist Dem lawfare,
00:12:17.440 the corrupt Marxist left haters who hate not only Donald Trump, but all the attorneys who've represented
00:12:23.680 him. Former Trump attorney John Eastman, our guest here today. Please stay with us. We'll be right back.
00:12:35.600 We're back. And thank you for staying with us. As if the Department of Justice hasn't already done
00:12:40.160 enough political damage, taken enough political prisoners, they're out for more. A new report from
00:12:46.240 the Electronic Freedom Foundation revealing the federal government is using geo-tracking of cell
00:12:51.920 phones to find out who was at the Capitol ground perimeter on the 6th of January. Geo-tracking is the
00:12:58.400 very same technology that former Attorney General William Barr said the United States doesn't use.
00:13:04.560 Geo-tracking is also the same technology that True the Vote used in their investigation of mail-in
00:13:11.360 ballot box fraud. Of course, William Barr might deny that as well. Joining us now is attorney John
00:13:18.160 Eastman, John clerk for Justice Clarence Thomas in the late 90s, a former chairman of the Federalist
00:13:24.000 Society and served as dean at the Chapman University. John, it is great to have you with us. We know you're
00:13:30.160 in a heck of a battle with the California Bar Association. All of this seems to be utter madness.
00:13:36.320 Your thoughts? Well, I've said publicly, I think they've crossed the Rubicon here, both in the
00:13:43.440 abusive use of the disciplinary systems to go after the lawyers. The head of the 65 project, which is
00:13:49.760 one of the left-funded organizations behind all of these things, Barry was very explicit. Our goal is not
00:13:56.640 just to disbar all the attorneys that were involved in any of the election challenges,
00:14:01.120 but to make them so toxic in their firms and their communities that right-wing legal
00:14:05.360 talent will never take on these kind of election challenges again. And of course, that would destroy
00:14:10.640 our adversarial system of justice. And it's not limited to election challenges. Anybody that is,
00:14:16.400 you know, raising challenges against government action, challenging, you know, the elite preferred
00:14:22.240 views of things, whether it's transgender men in our girls' locker rooms or parents objecting at
00:14:28.880 school boards to ridiculous things in the curriculum, people are being attacked for holding different
00:14:36.160 views than the government demands that we hold. And that's an authoritarian turn that we've not seen in
00:14:42.720 this country before. And I noticed the judge in your bar hearing, setting November 3rd as the date,
00:14:54.880 being adamant that do what you will with your pleadings, your motions, and your arguments,
00:15:01.520 but if she considers them supercilious, irrelevant, or beyond the scope of legal practice,
00:15:11.040 that you'll be punished with 10-minute surmises and summaries. I mean, the arrogance of it all is just
00:15:21.920 stunning. Well, you know, the law is pretty clear. If it's an open question and you advocate for a
00:15:29.280 position to resolve that question, it's not supposed to be subject to discipline. Even if the issue has been
00:15:36.320 settled, but you have a good faith basis for challenging the settled view of things, it's not
00:15:42.160 supposed to be subject to discipline. So I remain confident, if the law is properly followed, that
00:15:49.360 this thing will be put to rest and I will win. But that's a big if in my mind. 10 weeks and nearly a
00:15:55.600 half a million dollars it's cost me to defend my bar license in California. This is extraordinary.
00:16:01.120 You know, by the way, I've got, you know, malpractice insurance like every lawyer has.
00:16:05.120 There's a cap on disciplinary proceedings of $25,000 because what we're dealing with is
00:16:10.880 unprecedented. You know, normally a disciplinary proceeding is you, you stole some funds from
00:16:15.360 your client trust account or whatever. Nothing like a 10-week long full-fledged trial making me
00:16:22.800 defend, you know, because I said on the Steve Bannon show, we have evidence of election illegality
00:16:27.760 in several of these states that apparently put at issue, even though that's First Amendment
00:16:32.800 protected speech, that put at issue the validity of elections in all of the states, even states that
00:16:37.680 I had nothing to do with. And so I've been having to defend the entirety of the election challenges
00:16:43.440 on my own shoulders. To me, it's a remarkable moment in legal history in this country,
00:16:51.200 because, you know, Fox is a very good example of a judge, a New York judge deciding with a jury
00:17:01.760 present what the facts were, coming to the conclusion that any argument that the election was unfair
00:17:09.760 in any way rigged would be outside just simply he wouldn't hear it. Right. And in point of fact,
00:17:18.080 the whole issue, to my view, and I'm only speaking in my perspective on it, I don't even know what the
00:17:24.160 Fox legal geniuses were thinking, but all I wanted was an investigation. I wanted it from the FBI. I wanted
00:17:32.640 it from the Department of Justice. I wanted it even safe. The Cyber and Infrastructure Security Agency
00:17:42.320 lied about it, saying it was a perfect election within a week of the election, which would have
00:17:47.920 made it impossible for them to have understood anything. This is the federal agency that we were
00:17:53.760 supposed to accept their view. And the list goes on and on. Bill Barr talking about the election,
00:18:02.400 I think it was December 1st of 2020. He lied. There was no FBI investigation or DOJ investigation of any
00:18:11.120 kind. The man lied. He did. And he wasn't under oath, and he wasn't subject to cross-examination.
00:18:19.840 He said, our investigations have revealed no evidence significant of a fraud to affect the
00:18:25.520 outcome. So I suppose that was true because they didn't do any investigations. But he also didn't
00:18:31.920 mention in that statement the illegality, which was obvious, whether eliminating signature verification
00:18:37.840 in Pennsylvania or eliminating voter ID through a fraudulent directive to voters that they could
00:18:43.280 falsely claim they were indefinitely confined and not have to provide ID, to creating human drop boxes
00:18:49.840 in the town of Madison, Wisconsin, the University of Wisconsin, to government officials and county
00:18:56.480 clerks actually doctoring the documents that came in, the outer envelopes, to provide information that was
00:19:02.000 missing so that they could count the ballots. When state law was quite clear, if it's missing this
00:19:08.320 information, the ballots shall not be counted. So they filled it in on their own. We call that
00:19:12.800 doctoring of evidence. That ought to be a criminal prosecution. But of course, you know, they were
00:19:17.840 supporting the status quo, the views of the government elite, and we're not supposed to challenge that. We're
00:19:23.920 supposed to act like sheep instead of challenging and seeking the truth. This is the biggest troubling
00:19:29.280 thing to me. We have ceased to be a free people if we can't raise questions to get
00:19:36.160 investigations to get to the truth. I truly believe we are no longer a free people. I think we have,
00:19:42.560 as you said, crossed that Rubicon. This country right now, and I detect it in so many places
00:19:49.280 amongst the quote-unquote elites, whether it's working men and women in this country,
00:19:56.240 right now they're fearful of their government. And I'm talking about people who have the money
00:19:59.920 and the resources to fight in a courtroom. Fortunately for them,
00:20:06.400 but those resources are at risk. And the typical attorney right now, a young attorney who steps in
00:20:15.280 the way of the establishment left in the judiciary, the prosecutors, woe be to them because they are
00:20:24.720 going to be ground up like hamburger. Well, I know. And we're seeing it. Big firms,
00:20:29.680 small firms alike, declining to take on cases. I mean, think about our legal profession, going back
00:20:35.600 to John Adams representing the British soldiers in the Boston Massacre. This is the noble profession,
00:20:43.280 that everybody deserves a legal representation. But now if you take on a case, if you take on a case,
00:20:49.040 you know, representing an Islamist terrorist, or somebody in Guantanamo Bay, you're given awards.
00:20:56.320 But if you take on a Trump election challenge, or you take on parents at a school board,
00:21:01.680 or what have you, you're hounded. And, you know, they'll likely try and bankrupt you through disciplinary
00:21:08.720 processes. And, and for many people who are just getting started in their careers, they, you know,
00:21:14.240 and got a new family being raised or whatever, they can't afford to take that risk. This is,
00:21:19.600 this is aimed at destroying the adversarial system so that we don't have the ability to push
00:21:24.960 back using the law. You know, Shakespeare once wrote in one of his plays, you know,
00:21:30.640 first thing we do, we kill all the lawyers. Most people don't understand what was going on there.
00:21:35.920 There was an attempted coup. And, and Dick the Butcher said, first thing we have to do is kill
00:21:42.080 all the lawyers. Why? Because the lawyers get in the way of government tyranny. And that's what they're
00:21:47.680 trying to destroy here, the ability to have representation to challenge tyrannical actions by our government.
00:21:55.520 And that's, that's been flipped on its head. Now, attorneys seem to be, for the most part,
00:22:02.960 representing the government and bowing down before the government, doing more than taking a knee.
00:22:09.360 They're prostrate in and obsequious as they beg for whatever morsels they can from the almighty state.
00:22:19.040 We're talking with John Eastman, a great American. He's in a battle for his career.
00:22:24.560 And for justice. And we're going to continue our conversation with John in just one moment.
00:22:30.560 Please stay with us.
00:22:37.520 We're back now. We're talking with attorney John Eastman. As I say, he is in battle fighting his
00:22:43.120 state's bar association because he has a political view. He has freedom of speech,
00:22:49.040 which isn't being honored by the, in my opinion, by the bar association, not even recognized, let alone
00:22:58.800 supporting it. Let's, let's turn to where President Trump is right now, because the case that is
00:23:06.000 fascinating me, uh, all of them are interesting and all of them are important, but the case, uh, the,
00:23:13.120 the January six case, uh, presiding, uh, uh, judge, uh, Tanya Chutkin, a gag order against the president of
00:23:22.320 the United States. And I realized, uh, a judge in New York has done so a state judge, but to me,
00:23:28.480 this is far more important because I think, uh, it's just on its face prejudice. It is, uh, animus
00:23:36.640 based on a differing ideology. And she is actually saying that I have to read this to you because
00:23:44.080 it's, uh, it's just incredible. Chutkin says that the reason she would not lift the gag order while
00:23:54.720 Donald Trump is appealing is because in her judgment, uh, he doesn't have a chance of winning.
00:24:01.680 So she gets to decide about refusal. She gets to decide about whether or not he has the, uh,
00:24:07.200 case before the appellate court. And, uh, and by the way, she hates his guts, which she's made
00:24:13.440 clear publicly in a number of statements. How can that be tolerated by the federal judiciary
00:24:19.920 or a moment? It, well, it shouldn't be. Look, I mean, we've, we've seen this over the last two
00:24:25.040 years with all of the prosecutions of the, uh, January six protesters that went into the Capitol.
00:24:30.800 I mean, if there was ever a more compelling case for a change of venue than this one,
00:24:36.000 I'm not aware of it. And yet routinely the judges in the district of Columbia courts refuse to allow
00:24:42.400 changes the venue. And so you've now got a heavily skewed partisan jury pool, heavily skewed partisan
00:24:48.560 judges making decisions, uh, that by right ought not to be made by people with such a manifest bias.
00:24:57.200 Uh, and yet that's the standard in DC, um, that we're, that we're observing. And it, it really is
00:25:03.280 intolerable. You can hardly say this is a jury of his peers when 95% of the, of the jury pool is,
00:25:09.680 you know, adamantly opposed to this, to this man as president. It is hyper-partisan and that
00:25:16.720 justice is blind. It's supposed to be blind. And when you've got hyper-partisans making decisions
00:25:22.320 like that, it's hard to make the case that justice has remained blind through this process. And that
00:25:27.520 means we don't have a fair justice system. We, I think we clearly don't. I, I personally,
00:25:33.040 I don't think I could get a fair trial because of my, my ideology, my partisanship, uh, and my
00:25:40.800 advocacy. I don't think I could get a fair trial in any, uh, Democrat jurisdiction in the country.
00:25:46.480 I don't think anyone else, uh, sitting in my position could either in, in, in Wisconsin. No,
00:25:53.040 I'm sorry. In Michigan. And one of the, one of the cases that was argued before the Michigan Supreme
00:25:57.840 court, one of the justices said from the bench during the oral argument, I'm not listening.
00:26:03.280 You just want to keep your King in power. That was, that was an unbelievably unjudicious statement
00:26:09.440 from the bench. And unless you were watching that hearing live, you wouldn't know about it,
00:26:13.840 except for the courage of one of the dissenting justices who, who, who put in his dissenting
00:26:18.880 opinion that that statement had been made. This is preposterous that we see judges doing that.
00:26:24.480 Um, but, but, but we've, we've, it's no longer about justice and seeking the truth. It's like,
00:26:30.400 it's like we've divided into two tribes. And if you have power and you're in charge of one of the
00:26:35.200 institutions for one of the tribes, you, you know, anything goes to take, take out after the other
00:26:40.080 tribe is the way they view this. That's not justice. And it's, and it's not our adversarial process,
00:26:45.840 which is supposed to, um, be vetted to get, to give the truth. I'll give you another example.
00:26:50.720 One of the cases in Michigan, thousand pages of sworn affidavits of illegality in the conduct
00:26:56.880 of the election and people that had been told to not do signature verification and people who
00:27:02.080 observed ballots being post dated that came in late. Uh, and then there was a counter affidavit
00:27:07.920 by a government official in charge of things. He said, no, everything was fine. The judge in that case
00:27:13.680 discounted, eliminated all of the evidence by sworn affidavits that I don't find give them credit
00:27:19.680 because the government official said otherwise, no subject to cross examination, uh, no even hearing
00:27:26.000 to assess the credibility. Uh, and, and, and, and yet the case was then dismissed because, you know,
00:27:31.520 one government official said everything was hunky dory. Don't look behind the curtain here. Uh,
00:27:36.560 this is, this is not, and, and, and one of the justices on the Michigan Supreme Court called it out,
00:27:41.680 says you can't make a decision, uh, without a hearing judging credibility of witnesses. People have
00:27:47.440 to be subject to cross examination. And what, you know, you would first ask the question, the, the,
00:27:52.240 the, um, government official said, well, we did signature verification elsewhere. How about this
00:27:57.440 question? Well, where was it? Did you provide notice that it was going on as the law requires?
00:28:01.840 Were there observers there as the law requires? Did, did, did the clerks in that, in that supposed
00:28:07.120 other location put their initials on every ballot outside envelope that they had verified the signature
00:28:13.200 as the law requires? None of that happened, but because he wasn't subject to cross examination,
00:28:18.160 that no longer, that did not become part of the record. This is the kind of thing we were
00:28:21.920 dealing with in all of these cases. And people don't even realize, uh, going back to 2020. And
00:28:27.920 I know we, uh, you know, I, I love the people who say, well, you can't re litigate 2020. Well,
00:28:32.320 we haven't litigated it. That's the whole problem. Uh, so we're not re litigating it, but I'd sure love to.
00:28:37.760 Uh, because I just on this one fact set, most of the jurisdictions in this country violated the
00:28:47.360 federal law. They did. They destroyed the election records and ballots and tabulations. I mean,
00:28:55.600 it's incredible what they did so that there couldn't be a quote unquote re litigation.
00:29:01.040 Well, in, in Mesa County, Colorado, the county clerk elected county clerk, uh, uh, was informed
00:29:08.720 by the secretary of state that all of the data on her election systems was going to be wiped
00:29:14.320 as a result of an update to the software that would have violated federal law. And that federal law
00:29:19.760 imposes on her an obligation to protect all election records for 22 months. So she made a mirror image
00:29:27.440 copy of the data before it got updated and destroyed. Uh, and then she had, because of that,
00:29:33.360 uh, uh, mirror image, she hired forensic analysts to take a look at it, to just make sure, uh, what was
00:29:40.080 there and whether in fact, anything untoward had gone on. Those forensic analysts discovered computer
00:29:45.920 code that had actually flipped votes for that effort to comply with federal law and making that mirror
00:29:52.480 image. She is being prosecuted with nine felony charges. Um, because you're not supposed to look 0.98
00:29:57.760 at, you know, when the government tells you, you know, uh, everything was fine, you're not supposed
00:30:02.560 to raise questions apparently. Uh, and those of us that are raising questions, uh, are, are having
00:30:08.640 the entire power of the federal or state governments thrown at us. Um, I I've got a legal defense fund.
00:30:14.560 Let me put it real quick because one of the, one of the advantages of my California bar trial
00:30:19.200 is we're putting on to the extent the court allows it. And that's a big, uh, but we're putting a lot
00:30:24.560 on a lot of the evidence that none of these other court cases, uh, looked at. Uh, and it is the first
00:30:30.640 time we've had an opportunity to do that in, in great detail. Uh, uh, give, send, go.com
00:30:38.000 slash Eastman is the legal defense fund site and people can donate there, send prayers there,
00:30:43.520 whatever my wife and I read them, they're heartwarming. Uh, and it will help us to continue to try and
00:30:48.000 expose the truth. Well, uh, and we encourage everybody to, to help in any way that you,
00:30:54.880 you can or wish. Uh, it's a, it's a critically important cause. And to that, to that end,
00:31:02.640 I want to read from judge Chunkin, one of her comments, uh, uh, to the, uh, to the court, uh,
00:31:10.640 uh, all of the parties there, she said, the, the defendant fails to acknowledge evidence presented
00:31:19.680 by the government, uh, that when the president, the former president publicly attacked individuals,
00:31:24.800 including on issues related to this case, these individuals received threats and harassment.
00:31:30.280 Whoa. Uh, the record isn't clear on that at all, as far as I'm concerned, but this is the beauty that
00:31:36.560 she unleashed that I think you'll find fascinating if you haven't studied it already, which I suspect
00:31:42.560 you have the first amendment rights of participants in criminal proceedings must yield when necessary to
00:31:49.760 the orderly administration of justice. I have never heard that statement made by any one whatsoever,
00:31:56.960 uh, not in, uh, not in class, not in, uh, in my readings over a half century. And contrary to
00:32:05.240 the defendant's argument, the right to a fair trial is not his alone, but belongs also to the
00:32:12.200 government and the public, especially in the public, because they're going to be vitally
00:32:16.520 interested in all of this nonsense. Uh, that's, that that's a great interpretation of the fifth
00:32:21.800 amendments to process clause that I've never seen any, any court advance before. Uh, the right to a fair
00:32:28.040 trial is one of the rights that criminal defendants have, uh, the government that doesn't have such a
00:32:33.480 right. They're the ones that have prosecutorial discretion to decide whether to bring charges or
00:32:37.560 not. And it ought to be exercised, uh, not going after persons. Look, what we've done here is like
00:32:43.720 what Lavrenti Barea did in the Soviet Union. Show me the man and I'll find you the crime. And that's
00:32:49.400 what they're doing. They're targeting their political opponents because they don't like them.
00:32:52.920 And they don't like them. And, uh, to me, the fact that a judge would even say that, uh, impromptu,
00:33:02.280 ad hoc, however you want to say it, just the spur of the moment. Uh, no, she had thought that out.
00:33:07.720 She had organized that thought. And the idea that she doesn't comprehend that the government
00:33:16.760 under our constitution has that responsibility to provide a fair trial to the defendant. Uh,
00:33:24.760 it shows you the perversity of what is happening in our federal court system. And she is a, uh,
00:33:30.840 blinding, uh, leading example of that. We're talking with John Eastman. We're going to continue this,
00:33:36.840 uh, conversation about, uh, a corrupt judiciary, a corrupt, uh, set of prosecutors in the department of
00:33:45.160 justice, a corrupt administration. And the more I think about it, the whole federal government
00:33:52.760 is rampant with corruption. We'll be right back with John Eastman.
00:34:03.560 We're back with John Eastman, attorney extraordinaire, former, uh, advisor and counsel and
00:34:09.880 attorney for the president of the United States and former president of the United States.
00:34:14.360 John, I look at what's happening right now and I fear that there isn't, uh, a fair fight of any kind
00:34:23.560 available, uh, to conservatives, to patriots, uh, and that the battle is basically lost. And I don't
00:34:30.440 mean that in a pessimistic or, uh, negative way. I'm talking about, I'm just laying out the parameters
00:34:37.000 of what I see as a great battle and a fight worth having. If ever there were one, the, the left controls
00:34:44.040 the judiciary, the left controls prosecutors. And I'm talking about in Washington, DC, the left
00:34:51.000 controls media, the left controls the Marxist party. Uh, they are obviously moving toward
00:35:00.120 domination in our society, a unilateral denomination that any other country would be called authoritarian,
00:35:06.360 totalitarian, uh, uh, and outright, uh, communist Marxism. Uh, give me your thoughts about what we
00:35:16.520 do to, and whether we can restore any semblance of what a constitutional Republic, uh, should be.
00:35:25.000 Well, a couple of things that are, uh, going on that, um, give me a sliver of hope and optimism.
00:35:32.040 Um, one, these cases have not yet reached the Supreme Court and one hopes that the Supreme Court
00:35:39.000 of the United States will weigh in, in a, in a very prominent and, uh, vocal and definitive way
00:35:47.400 and put a stop to these abuses of our legal system. They haven't done so yet, but the cases take a while
00:35:53.880 to get there. So that's, that's, that's one thing. Second thing, elections do matter. Uh, that's why
00:36:01.000 the, the theft of the 2020 election was so significant. I, I gave a speech on Saturday night, um, where
00:36:06.840 several of the speakers before me were addressing what's been going on in Israel since October 7th,
00:36:12.280 a day that will live on in infamy every bit as much as, um, December 7th, 1941 or, or September 11th,
00:36:20.360 2001. Um, and, and I tied my predicament to that by saying this would not have happened if Trump had
00:36:31.000 been inaugurated on, uh, January 20th, 2021. Um, and, and, and so weakness on our side has emboldened
00:36:40.760 evil actors around the world. Um, and I think people are waking up to that now and, uh, engaging
00:36:48.680 in the election in 2024 in ways that we've not seen before at the retail level, at the local level,
00:36:55.320 checking the voter rolls at their precincts. And if they see 28 people voting from a single
00:36:59.480 efficiency apartment, calling it to the officials attention to prevent that fraud from going on.
00:37:04.680 And the, and the third thing I've seen, not, you know, there are way too many, uh, young people,
00:37:11.640 uh, who are buying into the propaganda of our regime, but there are a significant enough,
00:37:18.520 enough young people that are seeing what's going on and demonstrating courage to fight back. I'll
00:37:24.120 give you one example. One of my brand new clients is this fellow named Jaden Rodriguez,
00:37:29.400 in Colorado Springs, Colorado. You may not know the name, but you know, his action. He's the kid
00:37:35.160 with the Gadsden flag patch on his backpack that was kicked out of school because the teacher accused
00:37:40.600 him of wearing a symbol of slavery. What utter nonsense. Well, he stood up and he's pushing back.
00:37:46.760 This is a 12 year old that has more courage than most of our elected officials do. Um, but it's that
00:37:52.760 kind of courage that is contagious and that I hope, uh, will engender a new generation of Americans
00:37:58.920 to fight for their Liberty, just like our forefathers did. Well, God bless you for representing
00:38:04.520 him and carrying on that, uh, that battle. Uh, and God bless him for, as you say, having the courage to
00:38:11.160 take it on, uh, because a lot of people and particularly young people are not, not given
00:38:18.680 to, to bucking the crowd to, uh, uh, stepping up and being self-reliant and independent in their
00:38:25.480 judgments. And I think it's critically important that that happened. Uh, let me, let me offer you
00:38:32.040 a couple of examples that I think are perhaps are countervailing influences against, uh, uh, your
00:38:37.880 optimism, but when we look at 7,000 people shouting, basically, uh, death to Israel, uh, pro-Palestinian
00:38:48.760 marchers, they're anti-Semitic. Every one of them, they're, uh, every one of them, in my opinion, 0.93
00:38:53.400 uh, is, uh, supporting, uh, gang rape, the beheading of babies, the massacre on October 7th,
00:39:01.960 1400 Israelis killed, uh, men, women, children, babies. Uh, and this is not, this is to me so
00:39:11.160 repugnant that no person, no person should not be absolutely, uh, repulsed by this. Uh, and here
00:39:19.000 they are saying, uh, how much they want to support Palestine, uh, the Palestinians and, uh, Hamas.
00:39:27.240 The ignorance is palpable. It's in your face and it's happening on campuses all over the country.
00:39:33.320 And I don't see students saying at Yale, Harvard, University of Michigan, wherever it may be,
00:39:41.160 Wisconsin, get out of my face and get out of my way, because this is where freedom of speech 1.00
00:39:47.800 is going to be exercised and, and, and, and advocate for what this country stands for.
00:39:54.120 These people are ruinous to our society. Well, they are. And, you know, it just demonstrates
00:39:59.480 the power of pure propaganda that we've had, uh, going under the guise of education in our nation's
00:40:06.840 highest, uh, institutions of learning for decades. And it has a profound effect, but there are people
00:40:12.520 pushing back against it. And there are major donors to the universities that are waking up and said,
00:40:18.040 we're not going to fund this crap anymore. Um, there are new institutions being established as we speak to,
00:40:23.960 to provide a counterbalance to that and ultimately, um, uh, you know, shift things back, uh, to
00:40:31.080 defense of the shared values of Western civilization. Um, but it, it, you know, we've,
00:40:36.040 we've sat on the sidelines as a people for a century while this stuff crept in, uh, and over the last
00:40:42.280 decade, it's, it's crept in at exponential rates. And I, it, it's hard to see anybody that can't, uh,
00:40:49.080 uh, understand the moment of moral clarity that we are in that the attacks on October 7th provided.
00:40:56.760 And, uh, and, and, you know, the, this is, these are, this is not a nuanced thing. There is not,
00:41:03.160 there, there is pure evil going on. And anybody that is not willing to stand up to that and speak
00:41:08.680 out against it has taken a side in favor of evil. That, that moment of, of unbelievable moral
00:41:15.000 clarity has got to have an impact, uh, both in the short term and the long term. In my view,
00:41:20.840 I couldn't agree with you more. This is evil. And, uh, those who are
00:41:27.000 demonstrating and whether it's taking over the Brooklyn bridge, uh, as thousands did, uh, whether
00:41:33.400 it is the demonstrations and protests, uh, and the affirmation of the ignorance and the bigotry
00:41:40.360 of a professor on the part of the students, uh, uh, at, uh, at Stanford, uh, say they want to support
00:41:47.640 this, uh, anti-Semitic professor, the, and the moral equivalency that they draw between Hamas, uh, and,
00:41:56.840 and Israel, uh, the, the Palestinian forces and Israel is mind boggling because of the lack of just
00:42:04.680 simple judgment and reason, uh, and logic, uh, moral clarity is, is a, a far reach for them.
00:42:13.560 They can't even reach to, uh, any kind of acuity, uh, mentally. Uh, I, I worry for the country on that
00:42:21.080 basis. I worry about that weakness that you a moment ago mentioned, and you were talking about the
00:42:26.040 weakness of the United States in being able to defend because of the impairment, the, the, uh,
00:42:32.760 the corruption of this current president. Uh, but the weakness in the Republican party concerns me
00:42:39.240 every bit as much because they have been cowards. They have been, uh, laggards. Uh, they've been 0.63
00:42:45.880 indolent. Uh, they are on without imagination, apparently, uh, because they are not reacting boldly
00:42:55.080 and swiftly to be a significant limiting countervailing force to the evil that have,
00:43:02.840 that is the Marxist Dems who've taken over the democratic party and our federal government. 0.59
00:43:08.120 Oh, I, I, I think you're right. And look, you know, you go back 15 years now to the beginning
00:43:13.640 of what I call the make America greater movement before it was called that the tea party movement,
00:43:17.640 a populist uprising against unconstitutional spending, you know, our grandkids into slavery
00:43:24.360 is what's going on. And, and the Republican leadership at the time and continuing, uh,
00:43:30.360 until recently, one hopes that the new change in leadership, um, will, will be a portent of good
00:43:35.320 things to come, but they, they view the tea party movement as an enemy, uh, to their, to their
00:43:40.920 sinecures, to their comfortable positions in Washington. And they had to, they had to move to destroy
00:43:46.120 it. And of course that mentality has carried over, uh, to Trump and the movement that he
00:43:52.200 inherited. Uh, he didn't create the MAGA movement. He, he saw what was going on and he, he got out
00:43:58.040 front of it, uh, because he understood that this was, this was the battle for our time. And these are
00:44:03.880 the times that people with courage were made for. Uh, and that's why they have to go after him as hard
00:44:09.560 as they have, because, because they think if they can decapitate the head of the snake, that they will
00:44:15.080 destroy the movement. They do not understand the movement or the resilience of the American people
00:44:19.880 devoted to liberty and freedom. Uh, if that's what they truly think, but, but, you know, that's why
00:44:24.600 they have to go after Trump as hard as they can. And then anybody that supports him, uh, and, uh,
00:44:29.400 you know, when Trump says, it's not about me, it's about you all that they're going after. He's right.
00:44:34.360 Um, because they would like to shut us all down and make us all into nice little sheep who
00:44:39.160 just do whatever the government says. Absolutely. Uh, let's conclude with this question and I can't
00:44:46.840 wait for your answer. Uh, you've basically put it before the Supreme court to solve this issue
00:44:52.520 across the state, uh, and local, uh, jurisdictions, uh, in our court system, uh, and the federal courts
00:45:03.000 as well. What do you think the odds are that these nine justices have the guts, uh, and the energy
00:45:13.240 to actually stand up and the chief justice Roberts with that responsibility, uh, period, uh, he has been
00:45:22.520 quiescent throughout. Uh, what do you think the odds are that he will stand up and say enough,
00:45:29.240 the persecution of Donald Trump is at an end? Yeah, I don't know the answer to that, Lou. Uh,
00:45:34.840 I can only hope that they will faithfully apply the law and put an end to this nonsense. Um, but
00:45:40.600 look, I think it's, I don't think it's an accident that several of the justices that are kind of viewed
00:45:46.200 as more in the middle of the ideological range on the court, um, are, are being protested or having
00:45:53.240 assassination attempts or getting death threats on a regular basis. Uh, uh, that has to have an impact
00:46:00.440 on, uh, human being, any human being of normal sensibilities. And I, and I don't think it's an
00:46:06.120 accident that that is going on. Um, one hopes that their life tenure, their, uh, insulation from those
00:46:14.120 kinds of things that our constitution has created, uh, will, uh, and, and, and enable them to withstand
00:46:21.080 those kinds of pressures to, uh, and therefore continue to do what's right or, or step up and
00:46:26.520 do what's right. That, but that's, that's a hope. And I, I can't make a prediction about that.
00:46:31.320 Well, John Eastman, I can make a prediction. Uh, I predict that, uh, you will prevail and, uh,
00:46:37.560 the, the nation, uh, requires it, uh, this moment in our history requires it. We thank you so much for
00:46:44.760 being with us. Thank you, Lou, for having me on. I appreciate it. John Eastman, a great American,
00:46:49.560 one of the many victims of this corrupt judicial system and the Marxist Dems who run the Department 0.97
