Chairman of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors. | |
And I'm Stephen Richard, the Maricopa County Recorder. | ||
And again, the board and the recorder run elections here in Maricopa County as a team. | ||
And we're very excited about how things are going today on election day. | ||
We had all 223 vote centers have opened. | ||
We've already had over 45,000 people who have checked in and already voted today. | ||
We did want to come out and discuss one issue that's going on out there in about 20% of the vote centers. | ||
Again, we have 223 vote centers across the county. | ||
In about 20% of those, when people will go and they try and run the ballot through this tabulator, maybe one out of every five or so of those ballots, they're not going through. | ||
But this is something we've prepared for. | ||
We have a redundancy. | ||
If the ballot will not go through this tabulator, and by the way, those ballots that go through this tabulator, they go back here in the machine. | ||
If their ballot's not going through the tabulator, then we will ask them to go here at door number three and place their ballot into this secure box. | ||
Those ballots will remain secure in there all day long, and at the end of voting, after 7 p.m., when everything is completed, Then these ballots will be taken out securely and delivered by a bipartisan team, so Republican and Democrat, down to here at the Central Tabulation Center, where they will be tabulated. | ||
You're in Arizona. | ||
unidentified
|
We're going to talk about drops later in the show. | |
But I think you have a, do you have a guest for us? | ||
I sure do. | ||
Yeah, it was actually, Steve, I was out here, I was about to go on with you, and Joe Medina came up. | ||
He was riding his bike. | ||
He's a huge War Room posse member. | ||
He's on, he's got audio, and Joe, what do you want to say, brother? | ||
unidentified
|
I want to say God bless you, Steve, and you're doing a great job, and the good Lord is going to prevail this situation. | |
And all we have to do is forgive, because forgiveness is greater than vengeance. | ||
Vengeance is mine, sayeth the Lord. | ||
And we will prevail this one. | ||
And God bless you. | ||
You know, when I was thinking about it, Steve, I was really angry yesterday about what happened when they, you know, when they kicked us out and, you know, injustice, whatever you want to call it. | ||
Joe came up and just reminded me he's actually riding his bike around the building, praying over the situation, praying against the principalities and powers of darkness. | ||
And really, that, to me, is what it's about. | ||
We gotta stay focused on the mission, stay focused on what God has for us, and know that the battle is mine, sayeth the Lord, and we keep walking in that. | ||
We pray that, and then He guides us into where to go, but in the end, the victory is the Lord. | ||
So, I just appreciate you, Joe. | ||
unidentified
|
I appreciate you, too. | |
Love you, man. | ||
unidentified
|
You, too, Steve. | |
God bless. | ||
Joe, thank you. | ||
Nothing could be better. | ||
That's what it's all about right there. | ||
He's absolutely correct. | ||
This is not about vengeance. | ||
This is about setting this country right, okay? | ||
unidentified
|
As sure as the turning of the earth, We're gonna win, okay? | |
Didn't say it was gonna be easy. | ||
These are the hard, tough, tough days. | ||
And that's why you gotta just grind through this. | ||
It's grinding. | ||
Okay, Saturday, 12 November year of our Lord 2022. | ||
We got a lot to go through. | ||
Jack Bassovic is going to join us in the second hour. | ||
We've got Alex DeGrasse Tyson. | ||
We're going to go through a bunch of numbers. | ||
We're going to talk about Nevada, Arizona, all of it. | ||
General Flynn's going to join us later. | ||
Everybody today has just got to take a deep breath and get very focused. | ||
There's going to be some other drops tonight, maybe tomorrow in Arizona. | ||
We're going to go through it all. | ||
Let's go. | ||
First, we got Ben Berquam in Maricopa County. | ||
Ben, last night, and this is the reason it came out, look, whether it's random, selected, whatever it is, those votes had to be counted. | ||
These were heavy Democratic districts, I think in Phoenix, South Phoenix. | ||
Not a good drop last night, but according to the data analysts that we've talked to at Kerry Lakes, | ||
campaign also the arizona g o p it's um... you know that the remaining votes are the ones are going to wait uh... carried lake let's go through go through the last night what happened and then where we this morning yes the uh... so we've we've had about a hundred thousand or just over a hundred thousand drop last night as you mentioned everyone saw that and you know immediate reaction is what's going on here come to find out as you mentioned the mostly south phoenix and the remainder we still have almost four hundred thousand and possibly more | ||
We have 394,000 is the last number I saw that still have to be counted. | ||
It's still a huge number. | ||
Of that, basically at this point, Cary has to win 56% roughly to have a comfortable win. | ||
Again, in Arizona, if you don't win by more than 0.5%, it goes to an automatic runoff because the law they passed a couple years ago. | ||
But this, Cary Lake, Abe Hamaday, are still confident in that. | ||
That what's coming in now from here Through the end of the final vote counts will be heavily favored Republican. | ||
Those are the precincts that haven't been added into this yet. | ||
As you mentioned, whether it was intentional, whether it was just, you know, accidental, whether it was just by chance that it happened to be the Democrats' precincts came in first. | ||
We're still watching it. | ||
Today should be a defining day, though. | ||
If we get over 100,000 drop tonight, that should really set the record straight. | ||
I just spoke to Mark Fincham as well. | ||
He said he's not conceding anything. | ||
He believes it's disrespectful to the voters. | ||
And even his path, if you look at the total numbers that are left outstanding, if he and Blake were to get 70% of the vote, they both could still win. | ||
You know, it's still a battle. | ||
We're still grinding and we're going to be out here and the people are going to be, you know, following this and we're going to watch to the final tally. | ||
Yeah, you hang on. | ||
Harmey Dillon, the lawyer for Kerry Lakin, as you know, one of President Trump's big lawyers, sent a notification to say, hey, look, we don't want to go into court, but we need to pick up the pace of this thing. | ||
I think last night was actually 8,000. | ||
Yeah, it's crazy. | ||
I think they had some Pimas in there that said, we need to pick up the pace of this thing. | ||
And I think if we can put that up in the next segment up on the screen, what she sent. | ||
She said that you've got to be going 24-7. | ||
We understand. | ||
Uh, you know, you're strapped. | ||
You're trying to be thorough, as they keep saying, but you need to pick up the pace here. | ||
We've got to get, we have to go around the clock. | ||
What they've said, right, is that, uh, they're going to get to what they say is a majority of Maricopa County voting by Tuesday, you know, Monday or Tuesday. | ||
So that's crazy. | ||
That's crazy. | ||
unidentified
|
I just think they, they got to pick up the pace. | |
Also, also these drops are coming up. | ||
Yep. | ||
Go ahead. | ||
The moral of the story is this is a broken system in Arizona. | ||
That's why it's so critical. | ||
I was talking to Wendy Rogers yesterday. | ||
You know, they've got not quite a supermajority. | ||
It's still a possibility they could get a supermajority. | ||
And they have to change the voter laws out here. | ||
It's ridiculous that we wait a week to get results. | ||
It's outrageous. | ||
But everybody's got to go through. | ||
Let's get this tonight. | ||
Hopefully we'll get something tomorrow, maybe something Monday. | ||
But people just got to grind through this. | ||
So Ben, you just hang on right there. | ||
Ben Berquam's out in Maricopa County. | ||
Ben, don't go anywhere. | ||
We're going to come right back to you. | ||
We've got General Flynn at the bottom of the hour. | ||
Ben Burcombe. | ||
I want to go to Alex DeGrasse on the house situation. | ||
Alex, I did this last night. | ||
You did it for us yesterday. | ||
I did it last night again, just going through your list with Charlie Kirk. | ||
We had a pretty big audience on all the streaming sites. | ||
But I want to go down. | ||
This is what people were focused on. | ||
There's 211 that have been called, correct? | ||
In the house seats. | ||
Yeah. | ||
The 211 to 218 and I want to go through where we stand and then what's the timing because I think a lot of people realizing now in getting to the 218, 219, 220, a lot of these, you know, because of the different Regulations in different areas, particularly California. | ||
You could be talking weeks for this. | ||
So I want to go through your number. | ||
Just go ahead and take it from the top. | ||
Number 212, which is out in Arizona 6. | ||
Let's walk through where we stand right now, because it's interesting. | ||
Decision Desk has called this as of, I think, Thursday night. | ||
We're now on Saturday morning and the AP still hasn't called us. | ||
So take it, start with Arizona 6 and let's go through this. | ||
unidentified
|
Sure, so in Arizona 6 they did have a dump last night. | |
It looked to be, all these dumps, Steve, are not election day votes is from what we understand. | ||
So it was Pima County, so Democrat, they were early votes. | ||
You know, so that margin for one got cut and you're seeing some people on Twitter kind of talk about this is not a GOP pickup, it's a toss-up. | ||
They don't have the facts, right? | ||
There's a lot of election day votes that are going to heavily favor us that hopefully will be coming in today. | ||
So that, you know, so we're, you know, we're at about a 1% lead there. | ||
So you're saying in tonight's drop that this will be more because they're telling us today what we got is game day votes. | ||
So you expect that tonight? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, we're hoping that we're going to get these game day votes in. | |
And I think that will pad us pretty well. | ||
I think Arizona won. | ||
It's the same thing there. | ||
This drop. | ||
Supposed to have contained Election Day drop-offs, didn't maybe necessarily hit it, but we don't know how many votes are left in Arizona 1. | ||
You know, they don't tell us these are for Arizona 1. | ||
We just know that, you know, Maricopa County says they've got 270,000 ballots is what we understand. | ||
Yeah. | ||
You can maybe estimate about 59, 60,000 will be for Arizona 1, many of those being more action-based votes. | ||
But Arizona 1, I just want to make sure, is outside. | ||
That's one of the ones we consider optionality. | ||
That's like Boebert. | ||
That's outside the 218s. | ||
But Arizona 1 is Swickert. | ||
He's a pretty well-known factor. | ||
And you're saying tonight, you think also in tonight's drop, more game day votes. | ||
Game day votes break heavily towards MAGA and towards Republicans. | ||
Okay, so tonight also with 219 He's down there all votes. | ||
unidentified
|
What 40 4800 votes right now Yeah, I think that's right we have It's trailing by about 1.3 percent. | |
4,000 votes. | ||
4,000 votes, Steve. | ||
4,000, okay. | ||
We're estimating, just in Maricopa, 59,000. | ||
4,000 votes, 4,000 votes, Steve. | ||
4,000, OK. | ||
unidentified
|
We're estimating just in Maricopa 59,000. | |
Yep, go ahead. | ||
59,000 in Maricopa, all those supposedly game day votes as of now. | ||
Let's go back up. | ||
Number 213 would be California 3, Kevin Kiley. | ||
Yeah. | ||
What's the holdup of calling that? | ||
Is that one of these ones in California that say, hey, the guy's obviously going to win, but it's going to take a week? | ||
What's the process for Kiley? | ||
You got Kiley and Garcia, 213 and 214, which are California 3 and California 27. | ||
Right? | ||
What's the process for actually getting those called? | ||
unidentified
|
I mean, just like Arizona, I think the way they count these ballots, it's out of control. | |
They haven't even done some of these Election Day drop-offs. | ||
The numbers that they've been reporting out of Orange County last night, which is not California 3, but I'm saying California in general, these early ballot drop-offs, we believe they're holding a lot of Republican ballots. | ||
And so, you know, their process takes weeks. | ||
We dealt with that with Garcia in the special election, if you remember. | ||
But we feel great. | ||
All of those, there's been no movement. | ||
Um... | ||
On the 218, so I think that's really important for viewers, for listeners, you know, tuning in, you know, the path is, has not changed, you know, everything. | ||
In the 218, the path hasn't changed, the math looks good, but we got, you've got California 3, California 27, you got California 41 with what, Calvert? | ||
unidentified
|
Calvert. | |
And you've got, and you've got Steele in California 45. | ||
The question gets to be, Are they just going to drag that out to keep this uncertainty in the leadership fight and how you get organized in what's happening in the lame duck and particularly firing off the football on January 3rd? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, I think they will try to drag it out. | |
I mean, like I had mentioned, I mean, if your race is not called and you're a Republican candidate, then you're invited to come take part in the leadership. | ||
You're involved in the planning and things like that, because we have to move, Steve, because, you know, we've got a lot of work to do, of course, as you know. | ||
But with that being said, you know, Michelle Steele's pretty much that. | ||
I think that they just called that possibly, or she did, or someone did. | ||
Lori DeReemer. | ||
Hispanic woman from Oregon. | ||
The state newspaper called that Decision Dex. | ||
We don't know why the Associated Press hasn't called that. | ||
Yeah, the Oregonian is kind of the Associated Press for Oregon, right? | ||
It's the paper of record for the state. | ||
They've called this race Oregon 5. | ||
Chavez Dreamer, a dreamer up in Oregon 5. | ||
So they've already called that, right? | ||
But the AP has not? | ||
Yeah. | ||
unidentified
|
The AP hasn't called any of these, including NY22. | |
He's over about, just under 44,000 votes, we think. | ||
Maybe at maximum is 6,000 votes, probably closer to five, half of those being affidavit, which go our way. | ||
So there's really not a path at all. | ||
I don't even think there's a path for the Democrats to force a recount for Brandon Williams. | ||
So that's sort of where we're at. | ||
Didn't Syracuse, there was a great article today about how that's a huge mega victory. | ||
Was it in the Syracuse paper I read or Syracuse.com? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, big newspaper, Syracuse Post Standard, Syracuse.com, paper of record out there. | |
Yeah, big article which the viewers should go look up, you know, how MAGA won big in upstate New York. | ||
We have massive MAGA victories in upstate New York, not only just Brandon Williams, but these state Supreme Court races, which are so important, something that Team Elise is very focused on, because when you stop the gun laws, when you stop the child mask mandate in New York, it all comes through the state Supreme Court, the redistricting, that came through the state Supreme Court. | ||
And so we were able to flip, we were able to hold seven state Supreme Court, actually eight across three different districts. | ||
Hang on one second. | ||
Short commercial break. | ||
Alice DeGrasse from Team Elise working with the NRCC. | ||
We're going through the house races right now. | ||
Short commercial break. | ||
unidentified
|
break back in a moment. | |
Pandemic. | ||
With Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide. | ||
War Room. | ||
Pandemic. | ||
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
Okay, Alex DeGrasse is our guest here. | ||
So we get to the 218. | ||
The issue there is not the winds. | ||
The issue there is the timing of the winds, particularly these California seats, which even the Associated Press said they will not call the house. | ||
Anytime sooner than Tuesday, I think is the latest they put out, Alex. | ||
Yeah. | ||
But they're leaving a caveat on these California situations, right? | ||
So obviously you guys are on top of it. | ||
A lot of people, GOP, RNC, all of it are on top and in the campaigns, but that's the one that's the, to just drag this out. | ||
Remember, cause part of this is they're trying to demoralize and exhaust people, right? | ||
But let's go above the 28. | ||
Any thoughts on that before we move on to the above? | ||
unidentified
|
No, I think that's exactly right. | |
I mean, if we go, Look at the ones, you know, we had about eight, um, you know, that were kind of above Arizona one. | ||
We spoke about Lauren Boebert for the viewers here. | ||
I know that's very important. | ||
I think she's in a very strong position. | ||
For a particular audience, give us some details on that because they've had the fresh guy on MSNBC nonstop, but he's talking about moral victories now and maybe recounts. | ||
Walk us through where we really stand with Boebert. | ||
unidentified
|
Well, as of last night, um, She was up by about 1,100 votes. | |
It looks like there's about 2000 ballots. | ||
I don't think they're going to, they're not going to open them until the 17th. | ||
They're going to mix in cured ballots. | ||
We have a lot of Republicans on the ground from the national party, as well as Boebert's team volunteers. | ||
They are curing. | ||
Tons of ballots, right? | ||
And that's a legal process that's allowed there. | ||
These ballots should definitely break in Boebert's favor as they're mostly Election Day ballots. | ||
I think there's only about 500, so Democrat ballots, 700 Republican, and about 1,300 unaffiliated to be cured. | ||
We've cured a lot of ballots. | ||
I don't want to bring the news on the number, you know, give the Democrats where we're at. | ||
But I believe you are definitely watching this show right now. | ||
But We feel very good. | ||
We've carried a lot of ballots. | ||
We're in a great position for Lorin. | ||
People are very optimistic about that. | ||
I almost want to move it into the secure, but you just, too many out there, you just don't know. | ||
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. | ||
Then we go to, and we got Swiker. | ||
We know the situation is there. | ||
We're waiting for this drop tonight and possibly another one on Monday. | ||
Then we go back into three more California. | ||
For California, because yeah, for 221, 222, 223, 224. | ||
Are these doable as you see? | ||
Let's go to California 13. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, we feel great about that. | |
I think, you know, the ballots that came in were not that great for us, but a lot of it was the early votes and the latest drop. | ||
So they're just not necessarily being honest about Um, kind of what the situation is there with who are these votes, right? | ||
Um, but we feel we feel the best about California 22 Valdez. | ||
Uh, you got a pretty large margin. | ||
Um, you know, the Orange County ones look a little bit tougher. | ||
Um, You know, 49, it looks a little bit tougher, but still in the game. | ||
See, all these are in the game. | ||
Um, looks like Bob's got us, you know, hopefully went around. | ||
Let's go back. | ||
Let's go back to Valdeo in California 22. | ||
What's the spread right now? | ||
Cause that's one of the looks like we could close on. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, let me pull that up. | |
Um, I think the spread there, we just got updated numbers. | ||
I mean, that one is one we hope to be called soon. | ||
I'll pull up the spread right now. | ||
Let's see this. | ||
Sorry about that. | ||
Next update is going to be 5pm. | ||
Looks like we The break was $45.55. | ||
We estimate that there's 39,000 ballots left, and he can afford to lose them $45.55. | ||
So it looks like we're in a pretty good position there, actually. | ||
We're very optimistic about Valdez, if I were to say. | ||
Who are the ones that we feel best about? | ||
Boebert, Zweiker, and then Valdez and Durante. | ||
Talk to me about Scott Baugh. | ||
Is that realistic? | ||
What's the situation there? | ||
unidentified
|
A hundred percent. | |
I mean, these are going to be tough. | ||
I mean, it's very hard for us to know what's out there. | ||
And these California races are probably worse than Arizona, actually. | ||
You know, obviously there's a lot of attention on Cary Lake Blasters, you know, Maricopa. | ||
And so a lot of people talking about that. | ||
But these California Ballot situation is an absolute disaster, Steve. | ||
We have no idea what's going on. | ||
These ballots are appearing, you know, these things are dropped off, this, that. | ||
It's crazy. | ||
I don't understand why they can't count them now, but they've got these crazy rules. | ||
They have the worst election integrity in the country. | ||
I would say worse than Arizona, to be honest with you. | ||
Oh no, I don't think there's any doubt. | ||
It's just the races aren't that high visibility. | ||
But they are now because this is how you get a bigger majority in the House. | ||
But it's much worse. | ||
Talk to me about California 49. | ||
Is that realistic? | ||
unidentified
|
It is. | |
It's getting a little bit tougher on the latest drops. | ||
But again, we think the latest drops were not election day votes. | ||
So, you know, the San Diego was breaking heavily away from us. | ||
But we've got to, you know, we've got to have to see what's out there. | ||
Again, we don't really know what's out there. | ||
What's election day, what's absentee, what's early drop offs, what's drop off on election day. | ||
So there's a lot of uncertainty, but we're still in the game. | ||
We think it's going to take weeks to call all of these California races. | ||
All of them. | ||
All the toss up ones. | ||
Let's go to Washington 3, Joe Kent. | ||
Here's what I don't understand. | ||
There was, in the calculation we were told and saw, there was 100,000 votes outstanding on Thursday. | ||
Excuse me, on Wednesday. | ||
Then they had a 21,000 drop on Thursday. | ||
And in fact, people were complaining, why can't you do more? | ||
A 25,000 drop last night. | ||
And now they're saying there's only like 30,000 ballots outstanding. | ||
Do you have any sense? | ||
I know The data guys and Joe Kentz are all over this. | ||
Do you have any sense of just the total outstanding balance up there in Washington 3? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, it looks like they dumped in, is it Cowlitz County? | |
It was about $5,000. | ||
Kent won that. | ||
He hit his margins there $58.42. | ||
And then Clark County dropped about $24,000. | ||
I think it was a 50-50 split. | ||
I definitely think we want to do better there. | ||
We don't know necessarily what. | ||
I think they're curing. | ||
They're working very, very hard. | ||
I think, you know, we feel good about Joe Kan. | ||
I think he's done this road before if you looked at it in the primary like we talked about. | ||
Yeah. | ||
What is your sense, by the way, Rick? | ||
Go ahead. | ||
What is your sense of how, when, ex the Californias, when we start like, uh, Arizona 6, Oregon 5, New York 22, right? | ||
What's your sense of when those start closing? | ||
unidentified
|
Uh, so we think, um, we think Arizona 6 should be called hopefully very soon. | |
We actually think California 3 with Kevin Kiley will hopefully be called, um, ASAP. | ||
Um, so that's good. | ||
And I think other than that, I think it's a little bit tough, hopefully Oregon. | ||
So that gets us pretty close and then New York 22. | ||
And then if we can put Bobert away pretty soon, you know, there's other paths, right? | ||
I mean, we can do it without the California seats to lock that in as soon as possible. | ||
Is she, is she, uh, is the numbers right now, would they automatically have a recount, uh, for Bobert? | ||
Is she outside the margin? | ||
unidentified
|
She's outside the margin, which is key. | |
Okay. | ||
Okay, fantastic. | ||
I want to pivot now to, quickly... The recount threshold, just so the audience knows, Steve. | ||
unidentified
|
111 votes and she's up right now by you know 800 811 votes for return. She's up by 1122 she's about 300 She's about 300 votes outside the recount. | |
Yep. | ||
Elise Stefanik, full-throated, I think, three times in the New York Times and other places, endorsement of President Trump for 2024, what's happening in Mar-a-Lago next week, plus her Her sweep through upstate New York led to these MAGA candidates, particularly Brandon Williams, which is going to be a pretty important seat. | ||
Talk to us about that. | ||
Talk to us about this endorsement yesterday. | ||
Pretty powerful. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, Steve, I think, you know, there's, I think the knives are out, Steve, and I think it's unfortunate because we need to show strength and unity. | |
The simple reality, Steve, is we won the popular vote by about six million votes as it stands right now. | ||
So anyone saying that, you know, MAGA is down and out is fraud. | ||
It's very clear that they're making a move on President Trump within the establishment and the media. | ||
It's very clear to see who are the people that are stepping up and some of the same people in 2016, Steve, you know, the actors, And you know, my boss is friends with President Trump, supports him. | ||
President Trump is very popular in upstate New York. | ||
And we saw that he was under attack. | ||
And I think once again, you know, Elise stood in the breach to defend MAGA, which she's done multiple times. | ||
And I think there's a lot of chatter about it. | ||
Pretty much got like 30 headlines. | ||
But, you know, the only motive is we need to unite behind President Trump because he's the strongest candidate to win in 2024. | ||
That's what the polling and the data says, Steve, across the board. | ||
And anyone that says otherwise is wrong. | ||
And they're working desperately to try to change the map. | ||
That's why I think it's important he announces on Tuesday, time is working against MAGA on all these fronts. | ||
And we have to move very fast and hard. | ||
And I think that's why she decided to come out very strong for President Trump. | ||
Alex, how do people follow you? | ||
How do they get more access to this information, this data, particularly over the weekend? | ||
We got a big drop tonight. | ||
Gonna have drops in California, it looks like you may have a drop in Washington, more updates in Colorado, and of course, Arizona. | ||
How do people stay up with all this? | ||

I'm on Getter, I'm on Truth, at Degrassi, at Alex Degrassi, DegrassiAnyone on Twitter, a lot of updates there, and you know, on Twitter we're kind of curing some of the information that is You know, coming out from people that are, frankly, trying to divide and trying to claim that, you know, we don't have the House and this or that. | |
I mean, it's all wrong information, frankly. | ||
They're not being honest with people on Twitter about what votes are outstanding. | ||
Yeah, that's why I want to make sure you go to Alex's thing. | ||
Everybody take a deep breath. | ||
We got a lot of work to do here. | ||
There's a lot of MAGA votes outstanding, game day votes, because MAGA votes on game day. | ||
So everybody take a deep breath. | ||
You know, don't need to have your hair on fire. | ||
You need to be focused and grinding. | ||
Alex, thank you so much for taking time away on your Saturday morning to join us and do this. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, working all weekend, Steve. | |
Thank you. | ||
As you always do. | ||
Thank you. | ||
We'll be back in touch, I'm sure, right after the show. | ||
We're going to be doing Getter live streaming all throughout the weekend. | ||
We had a massive audience last night. | ||
We just picked up Charlie Kirk's feed, which I was on. | ||
I'll definitely be on that tonight. | ||
Again, tonight when the Maricopa County drops at about 10 Eastern time, I think. | ||
We're on a short break. | ||
Back in a moment. | ||
unidentified
|
So, why is it taking the amount of time it's taking? | |
A lot of people are talking about this. | ||
Well, first of all, it's very standard. | ||
This is how things work in Arizona and have for decades. | ||
We anticipated 90 to 95 percent, or sorry, 95 to 99 percent of the ballots to be counted by Friday. | ||
That's tomorrow. | ||
But I'm here to tell you the goalposts have changed. | ||
We have increased our training and we have told that. | ||
Let me have it. | ||
We can get into more of this as we go on. | ||
The goalposts have changed, but hey, it is what it is right now. | ||
Carrie Lake and her team have Hermit Dillon, one of President Trump's best lawyers, is out there. | ||
She's on the scene. | ||
She sent a notification over there. | ||
That was Bill Gates. | ||
The other Bill Gates. | ||
And the notification was to, hey, we got to speed things up. | ||
Now, last night, and remember, we don't believe in conspiracy theories here. | ||
We also don't believe in coincidences. | ||
That was a... | ||
I don't want to say it was a bespoke or curated drop, but it was South Phoenix and D++++. | ||
So in the psychological warfare, informational warfare, you know, they wanted to get you depressed on Saturday and roll over to the Sunday shows, but now we're getting into the... | ||
Into the game day votes and of course, uh, Carrie and the team won the game day votes by I think 70 30 in the, uh, in the primary. | ||
Remember she was at one point, I think 16 points down. | ||
Then at 10 points down, uh, around 11 o'clock local on the primary night, she, she was under incredible pressure. | ||
By the professional consultants, and her team was, and this shows you how they epitomized General Flynn's steady boys. | ||
She was 10 down, I think 1130 at night, and the pressure on her to concede so that her opponent could come out and claim victory. | ||
And she just says, hey, we've got this. | ||
We've looked at our data. | ||
We know that this is way to game day voting or election day voting, which hasn't happened. | ||
This is just now currently happening because of the Trump movement, because of people saying, hey, I only feel comfortable voting on game day. | ||
That's essentially the batches of votes out there, both in Maricopa and most of the Pima. | ||
And so those will be there. | ||
They're saying they're going to be tonight. | ||
Remember, at first, the reason I want to play the clip, they said everything is going to be done by Friday and then they Have moved that and whether they were not ready for this, whether they were overwhelmed by the game day voting, etc. | ||
Obviously, people should have been more prepared. | ||
Harmeet Dhillon has sent him a notification saying, hey, I think that came also from the Arizona GOP and from the RNC to say, look, we've got to pick up the pace here. | ||
You guys should be we understand that you're you may be shorthanded, but you got to get other people. | ||
We have to. | ||
You have to go 24 hours a day. | ||
What they want to do is to pick this up so that because when they said the goalposts are moving a little bit, they came out and said, hey, we only think the majority of the Maricopa County are going to be done by Monday or Tuesday. | ||
What everybody needs to do is just, hey, stay focused. | ||
Right. | ||
We got this. | ||
Just stay focused and let's make sure we're there to review those ballots tonight. | ||
It should be the other day. | ||
They said six o'clock. | ||
They moved to 8 p.m. | ||
local time. | ||
So that should be some time to evening around 10 o'clock. | ||
Charlie Kirk and the team will be doing a live getter or they'll be doing their live stream. | ||
And we'll put it up on Getter. | ||
I know they'll be up on Getter too, and so we'll be all over this. | ||
Ben Burquam, before I go to General Flynn, any other updates? | ||
I want to keep you around in case anything breaks, but any other updates as of right now? | ||
Yeah, just to go back, by the way, to go back to what Bill Gates said, yeah, that standard, if ineptitude is your standard, it's unacceptable for anybody who actually works for a living or has run a business or anything else. | ||
The process here is absolutely unacceptable. | ||
Just to clarify what I said earlier, I think I missaid or misspoke when I said the 0.5 percentage difference is what automatically triggers a recount, not a runoff. | ||
So just to keep everyone from Breaking out that there could be a runoff. | ||
It's a recount if it's a 0.5% spread. | ||
We're expecting that drop by, as you mentioned, 10 p.m. | ||
Eastern, 8 o'clock local time. | ||
Yeah, and people should know Blake Masters is not conceding. | ||
Fincham's not conceding. | ||
They still see a path. | ||
Tough but doable, right? | ||
Particularly with the game day vote. | ||
And they've gotten those types of percentages before. | ||
Laxalt's in a political knife fight up there in Nevada. | ||
They're already talking about recount, they're already talking about lawyering up, so these things are, people are very focused. | ||
And remember, they've got great people on all these campaigns, and people are on top of things. | ||
Ben, just hang out for a second, we're going to come back to you with updates from Maricopa County. | ||
Let's go to General Flynn. | ||
General Flynn, your watchword has been steady, boys. | ||
Tell us what you mean by that, and how is that most important this weekend as we get now into our votes, and make sure we find out what's really going on here with these vote counts. | ||
Yeah, so, and what I mean when I say steady, boys, you know, in life, I mean, there's only certain things that each of us can control, and there are good people in the right places, and you keep, you know, you mentioned Harmeet Dhillon a couple of times out there in Arizona. | ||
She's the right type of person in the right position. | ||
She knows how to stay steady. | ||
She knows what she can control out there. | ||
A lot of people around the country right now, Steve, They're almost starting to feel like out of control. | ||
Don't worry. | ||
Just take what you can do and if you can get on the phone, make some calls to your local officials, whatever, but You know, steady means basically take control of what you can control and don't worry about those things that you cannot. | ||
There are really solid people in all of these places where there's recounts being done. | ||
The number one thing you can control is yourself. | ||
Hey, we got this. | ||
Act like we've been here before. | ||
We're going to win this. | ||
Just have that steely resolve. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Is there a strategy? | ||
Does the left have a strategy? | ||
Absolutely. | ||
And it goes back to 2020. | ||
They got, I call it their Rust Belt strategy, where they want to, you know, through the mail-in ballot schemes, they want to control states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois. | ||
They wanted to go after, you know, southern strongholds, Georgia and Arizona, clearly. | ||
And that has come into, all of those places have come into play In the midterms here, clearly they control the media. | ||
Although I will tell you, Steve, I call it the patriot media. | ||
The war room is at the pointy end of the sphere with the patriot media. | ||
And there's a lot of independents out there that are getting the word out about what is happening, what needs to happen to keep the troops informed of what the truth is right now. | ||
And Americans really, they just don't believe the government or the mainstream media. | ||
They're just not even listening to the mainstream media. | ||
So here's what I say to do. | ||
Hang on, hang on. | ||
Let me just jump in here right here since you mentioned it. | ||
You remember because you were there with me every day, but in 16 Ohio and Florida were still swinging. | ||
They had been Swing states forever. | ||
In fact, the whole theory was whoever won Ohio and Florida together couldn't be beaten. | ||
What happened there is over time is we got Republicans in both of them, and now the elections are totally sorted out, and you can see in Ohio the spreads for, I mean, JD won by what, five or six points? | ||
There was nothing that was done quickly in Florida, which was a mess. | ||
You remember in 16, you got that thing where the county would always hold back, Miami-Dade would always hold back, to see what the rest of the state did. | ||
DeSantis and the team, and people before him, right? | ||
But he came in and closed it, totally cleaned it up. | ||
It had started to be cleaned up even before him. | ||
And now in Florida, you've got a system there that works, and you're seeing MAGA-dominant. | ||
Those are MAGA-dominant states. | ||
Georgia, and by the way, Kemp's not my cup of tea on election integrity, right? | ||
On some of the other stuff, I think he's a pretty good governor. | ||
But they've gotten in there, as Rothensberger, as bad as that situation is, they were able to close this thing down, and Stacey Abrams got blown out, and they're moving on. | ||
And the Hershel Walker uh... election is going to be is going to be huge what you need this is the problem with pennsylvania in michigan in wisconsin you've got to get in there get control that's why nevada and uh... and uh... arizona so i was on a secretary of state the secretaries of state of nevada mark jimmy march on uh... pension exactly you've got to get in there we've got to expose some of the corruption in our election system we cannot have this this uh... nonsense go on | ||
In this country, otherwise, you know, we don't have a republic. | ||
But here's the reality. | ||
It looks like Marchant and Fincham are, you know, Marchant has a very tough path, right? | ||
And because of a lot of nonsense that's been happening in Nevada, and Fincham's got a very, very tough path. | ||
It's already been called By a number of a number of news outlets, but Carrie Lake in the new governor in Nevada will have attorney generals that you know Carrie Lake would have Abe Hammaday you're gonna have to get in here and get this thing sorted out number one and by the way Bill Gates comes up and says, hey, we're curating the ballots, we're going through, we're checking everything. | ||
Yes, we want it to be checked. | ||
But this stuff can't just drag on for days and days and weeks. | ||
We should understand. | ||
Also, I think what most upsets people is the numbers already seem to be moving around. | ||
unidentified
|
Right. | |
You see this in California right now. | ||
You see it up in Washington 3, that there's no, you know, OK, here's the total numbers that were either dropped off earlier, came in. | ||
Steve, we see it. | ||
We see it in New Hampshire. | ||
We see it in New York. | ||
We see it in many, many states around the country. | ||
In fact, one of the things that I would like to see all the politicians, everybody that was running, particularly for federal offices, is demand a in-person hand recount Of their ballots. | ||
I mean, New Hampshire Senate race, I think that they ought to demand an in-person hand recount. | ||
I think in Nevada for sure. | ||
And actually, I could go through a laundry list. | ||
There's nothing wrong with demanding that, with requesting that, and putting the teams together to do an in-person hand recount of some of these really critical races. | ||
We don't have confidence, the American people do not have confidence in our election system, and we can't leave this midterm with some large percentage of the American populace saying, I don't trust our election system anymore. | ||
We just can't. | ||
We already went through that in 2020. | ||
By the way, Arizona, and this starts from the very first day, that's when we opened the show by showing Mr. Rogers walking out there and saying, hey, it's a great day, everything's terrific, really glad it's election day. | ||
By the way, 26% of the voting districts, right, these aggregates have machine problems, 26% of it. | ||
And of that, one out of every five ballots is not being properly processed. | ||
Now, one of the controversies in Arizona is going to be 17,000 went into what's called box number three. | ||
Oh, it's a totally secure box. | ||
But if you just do the math, it's like, how could it only be 17,000 if you just do the math of what they had the problems and how long they had the problems? | ||
And for the Blake Masters of the world and guys that could end up if he closes this, and he does end up losing by a couple of thousand votes, people are going to say, hey, how did you have malfunctioning machines? | ||
I think the question is going to get back, why do you even need machines in this entire process? | ||
Exactly. | ||
We don't... | ||
We don't need machines. | ||
Particularly if it's taking you a week, if they're taking you a week, if we're not going to get results here until the middle of next week, hey, and say, well, take longer. | ||
Well, hey, dude, it's taking, you're going into, you're going 10 days, you're going a week, 10 days anyway. | ||
Yeah, this is Banana Republic stuff. | ||
This is Third World stuff. | ||
We can't have it. | ||
So here, let's just talk Arizona, because Arizona is going to be spotlighted here these next couple of days. | ||
What I understand, and I've just listened to all different channels out there and different people, is we're looking at about 400,000 votes. | ||
And I believe based on where they've come from, this is my speculation, that we're looking at about 75% or more that will go toward Cary Lake. | ||
And to count 400,000 votes, and I think I said this the other day, Florida has three times as many people as Arizona, and Florida was done at nine o'clock at night on Tuesday night. | ||
So your guy out there in Phoenix, I forget his name, but he's right. | ||
This is incompetence. | ||
This is just outrageous behavior by one county Holding at bay, frankly, the direction that the country could take if we get a Carrie Lakin in for governor. | ||
And this is a very, very serious time for the country. | ||
There is an establishment party, Steve. | ||
There is a RINO party. | ||
But right now, if these people love this country, they need to come together. | ||
We need to unify. | ||
We need to unify around Georgia. | ||
We need to unify around Arizona. | ||
And we need to unify around regaining confidence in the election system that we have. | ||
General Flynn, can you just hang on for one second? | ||
We're taking a short break. | ||
Because I want to say, you know, Blake Master is not going to concede. | ||
Fincham is not going to concede until they get to the, they see exactly what went on, which I think is logical. | ||
And it's their requirement. | ||
As I would say, hey, a Democrat shouldn't concede either. | ||
If you've got these types of issues, you've got to fight it through to the end. | ||
We're going to be back in a moment. | ||
We've got General Mike Flynn with us here in the War Room. | ||
unidentified
|
We rejoice when the law war lets take down the CCP! | |
The year has arrived! | ||
The new social media taking on big tech, protecting free speech, and cancelling cancel culture. | ||
Join the marketplace of ideas. | ||
The platform for independent thought has arrived. | ||
Superior technology. | ||
No more selling your personal data. | ||
No more censorship. | ||
No more cancel culture. | ||
Enough. | ||
Getter has arrived. | ||
It's time to say what you want, the way you want. | ||
Download now. | ||
Okay, welcome back. | ||
Make sure you go to MyPillow.com, promo code War and Mike Lindell has been at the tip of the spear of this election integrity, the machines, all of it. | ||
Make sure you support his company because you can't get him in Walmart, you can't get him in Big Box, you can't get him at Bed, Bath and Beyond, you can't get him at The shopping channels, these were all he dominated for years, right? | ||
He's not even allowed, I think, to advertise on some of the other cable networks. | ||
Hint, hint. | ||
Or they don't put him up and they certainly don't put him on. | ||
Make sure you support Mike Lindell's. | ||
General Flynn said, we got a long grind on this thing, not just to save the country, but get the elections right. | ||
And it's going to take patriots, focused patriots. | ||
The biggest focus you can have is control of oneself, right? | ||
We've got a lot of work to do here. | ||
We can't be running around with our hair on fire. | ||
We've got enormous focus on this. | ||
General Flynn, it's about conceding. | ||
You know, I had Alex DeGrasse on in the first segment talking about the 218 and how you get above it. | ||
And my observation is the California situation is actually worse than Arizona and even Nevada as far as administration. | ||
And look, for Democrats and even the Boebert situation, hey, if you're close, you're not going to concede. | ||
You want to count them all and check it all? | ||
I have no problem with that. | ||
That's what this thing's about. | ||
I have no problem with our people not saying they're going to concede. | ||
And if somebody else is close on a Democrat side, and this is why I keep going back and harping, not harping. | ||
But pointing out the California house situation, this thing's just not going to get sorted for several weeks. | ||
Associated Press has already told you that. | ||
They said, we're not calling the house in any regards anywhere before Tuesday. | ||
And California could take a couple of weeks. | ||
A lot of that is I'm sure if these people are not going to concede and they're going to want to, as certainly some of our people would not concede and they want to get it and they'll use any legal remedy they can have. | ||
That's just the way it's structured right now. | ||
General Flynn, going forward, what would you recommend? | ||
You've been at the forefront of saying, hey, servant leadership means I'm getting involved at the grassroots level, at the precinct level. | ||
You've seen it there. | ||
What else is your guidance? | ||
We've got you for a few more minutes here. | ||
What else is your guidance to fellow patriots? | ||
Yeah, I think two things. | ||
Two things. | ||
One, I want people to pay attention to what I call sort of the patriot media. | ||
And I said, Steve, you and you, you have been at the tip of that spear. | ||
You know, with the war room and there are other great, great outlets out there. | ||
People need to just go and find those outlets that they trust and they need to listen to them. | ||
And that's how you sort of stay steady. | ||
That's another means of staying steady. | ||
One of the things that is happening is there is a pandemic for control of the mind of our minds by the mainstream media and by the left. | ||
If the outcome of an election, after a hand recount or an audit or whatever, is that a Democrat wins, so be it. | ||
If we've determined that our system was fair and transparent with an outcome, that's the way it goes. | ||
That's the way it should be. | ||
But in our country right now, we have very, very little confidence in our election system because of just the sheer nonsense that's going on. The second thing is that people need to take control of what they can control, meaning get involved, stay involved. I love the fact when I see so many people getting involved in their precincts, becoming precinct committeemen, becoming poll volunteer workers, becoming parts of their executive committees on their Republican—I mean, | ||
all these kinds of things. Get involved at the local level. | ||
Local action will have a national impact because we have this year to go and we have another election coming up in another two years, which I don't want to focus on that yet. | ||
I want to stay steady on what we are looking at right now, but I want people to really look for those outlets that they trust, and I appreciate the War Room being one of those. | ||
Well, you know, Mike, General Flynn, we got, I mean, listen, even right now, and that's why people have to be, you guys have to be the rocks, and here's why. | ||
There's going to be very, there's a lot of uncertainty about Who even controls what, right? | ||
Because there's a big controversy in Nevada on the Senate. | ||
There's a big controversy in Arizona already. | ||
There's going to be the Hershel Walker situation. | ||
So you have a lot. | ||
But Kelly Chewbacca, who's even going to represent? | ||
It's going to be Republican, but who's going to represent? | ||
Joe Kent up in Washington state. | ||
And so the whole House thing is still up. | ||
At the same time, they're going to do the lame duck, which is going to be an orgy of spending. | ||
Nancy Pelosi has already said the COVID rules apply so they can vote remote. | ||
You've got people got to get ready for the fire of the football on 3 November with all this going on. | ||
And you have President Trump's announcement next week. | ||
So there's never been a more intense time because the lame duck, a lot of these people realize they're never coming back. | ||
They're going to try to, particularly senators, they're going to try to mess with the debt ceiling. | ||
They're going to try to pass this omnibus bill that's going to be another $2 trillion of deficit spending for this year that we're going to have to pay for. | ||
I have never seen a time of more intensity of things going on, not just the elections. | ||
And that's why we need you people across the board for so many things, so many fights. | ||
You can't sit there and light your hair on fire. | ||
We have to have steely resolve. | ||
So when General Flynn says, steady boys, he's saying steady, let's get very focused. | ||
General Flynn, how can people follow you? | ||
And when General Flynn says he means it, that's like a papal bull, right? | ||
Don't mess with him. | ||
Yes, they go to GeneralFlynn.com and they can get a hold of me there. | ||
I got all my social media sites and all that sort of stuff at GeneralFlynn.com, but I would just leave it with this. | ||
That we are changing the political landscape of this country, not our constitution, but our political landscape with this philosophy of America first. | ||
And if we don't take care of this country first, we won't have a country. | ||
So the people that are the millions, tens of millions of people that are in that America first You know, box or bin, you're doing exactly the right thing. | ||
You are taking back our country and we are going to continue to take it back, but we got to stay steady here for the next few days. | ||
We're going to have some, I think, I believe we're going to have some good results. | ||
We need to really dig into some of these other places as Steve has mentioned, but we'll be okay at the end of the day. | ||
We're going to be and we got great teams out there, Hermit. | ||
General Flynn, thank you. | ||
Thank you for your servant leadership. | ||
And just remember what General Flynn said. | ||
They don't want to talk to the mainstream media. | ||
And Alex de Grasse brought up in general, we got six million more votes across the country on Tuesday or everything related to Tuesday than the than the opposition. | ||
So we got to work off of that and make it even better. | ||
General Flynn, thank you so much. | ||
Honored to have you here on Saturday morning in the war room. | ||
God bless, Steve. | ||
Thank you, brother. | ||
Okay, next hour, Jack Posobiec, former Naval Intelligence Officer, is going to join us for the hour. | ||
He's got lots of insights, everything's going to go on. | ||
And I think we're going to get Wesley Hunt, a former West Point graduate, a former Army helicopter pilot, and a newly minted congressman. | ||
Just won a big race on Tuesday down outside of Houston, Texas. | ||
Leslie Hunt's going to join us next in the war room. | ||
unidentified
|
We will fight till they're all gone. | |
We rejoice when there's no more. |
