You have to vote, and one must choose the lesser of two evils. | |
| Who is the lesser of two evils? | ||
| That lady or that gentleman? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Everyone with a conscience should think on this and do it. | ||
| Both of them are against life. | ||
| The one who throws out migrants and the one who kills children. | ||
| Both are against life. | ||
| You cannot decide. | ||
| I can't say. | ||
| I am not American. | ||
| I'm not going to vote there. | ||
| But let it be clear. | ||
| Sending away migrants, not allowing them to work, not sheltering them, is a sin. | ||
| It's serious. | ||
| The church doesn't allow abortion, not because it's closed-minded, but because to have an abortion means to kill. | ||
| It is murder. | ||
| This is the primal scream of a dying regime. | ||
| Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people. | ||
| I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The people have had a belly full of it. | |
| I know you don't like hearing that. | ||
| I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. | ||
| It's going to happen. | ||
| And where do people like that go to share the big lie? | ||
|
unidentified
|
MAGA Media. | |
| I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? | |
| If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved. | ||

War Room. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bamm. | ||
| Saturday, 14th of September, Anno Domini, 2011. | ||
| Harnold here at the helm, filling in for Steve Bannon. | ||
| Before we move straight away to our first guest, Linda Sienkiewicz, this morning, I just have to respond to something that hashtag NotMyPope was saying there in the cold open. | ||
| For non-Catholics, or even a primer for actual Catholics, the heart of Catholic social teaching applied to the political sphere is the discernment to know how to pick the lesser of two evils. | ||
| And you're not allowed to pick either of those evils for the evil that's there, but because it's the lesser of a more substantial evil. | ||
| That's according to Catholic social teaching. | ||
| I obviously don't think the America First movement, MAGA, Donald Trump are in any way, in any capacity evil whatsoever, as is objectively abortion. | ||
| What he's saying there, this man who is acclaimed by the vast majority of the Catholic Church as Pope, is that you have two candidates here, two parties. | ||
| One expels illegal third world invaders. | ||
| The other party radically supports abortion. | ||
| And he's suggesting, and believe me, folks, I do know something about the Catholic Church and its teaching. | ||
| These are not on the same level, but he's trying to suggest that they're relative, and then therefore it's up to the individual Catholic in good faith to pick the lesser of two evils, right? | ||
| What he's done is – and that is basically an outright lie, the way he's presented the political situation for America – let that stand, folks. | ||
| Just let that stand. | ||
| Let that argument stand on its own merits, and assume That he has synthesised the situation correctly. | ||
| I have in front of me an article from Reuters. | ||
| But look, you can go to the listening in Newsweek at the Centre for Immigration Studies. | ||
| Cato had something. | ||
| Migrationpolicy.org also had something. | ||
| This is that the Biden administration was now deporting more people than Trump. | ||
| I don't believe it. | ||
| But that was the official spin on behalf of the regime to gaslight Americans. | ||
| That is the official position. | ||
| If that is the official position, right, that the Democrats are deporting more, then even on the terms that this fraudulent imposter dressed in white, pretending to be a Pope, even on the terms that he has outlined, if you have two parties, both of which are deporting third world illegal invaders, and one of which, in addition to deporting, is also promoting abortion, then the discernment of picking the lesser of two evils is clear. | ||
| It is absolutely clear that if that is the situation, Then it is the Republican Party, the GOP, which is the lesser of two evils. | ||
| I defy any Catholic bishop who's listening to this show, any cardinal from anywhere in the world to come onto this show and tell me that I have interpreted that erroneously. | ||
| I challenge, I throw down, I defy any fake Highland bishop. | ||
| Who puts themselves forward as a Catholic hierarch to come on the show and tell me that I have just expanded that in the way, according to the way hashtag not my pope himself has just defined the issue. | ||
| The lesser of two evils would be the Republican Party, because, as I say, the Biden regime was boasting at least up until the 8th of July of last year of having deported or deporting, present tense, more people than the previous Trump administration. | ||
| OK, sorry for that brief exposition, which took even me somewhat by surprise. | ||
| We have a short two minute video clip now on illegals voting and then we'll go straight in to the first guest. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I just want to underline your point that they are willing to shut down the government in service of a problem that does not exist. | |
| This from the Brennan Center. | ||
| Since 1996, there has been a law barring non-citizens from voting in federal elections. | ||
| Violators face potential jail time and deportation. | ||
| This is the number I want everyone to focus on. | ||
| 85 cases of alleged non-citizen voting. | ||
| From 2002 to 2023. | ||
| So you have a 21 year span in which perhaps there have been 85 cases of this. | ||
| 21 year span in which perhaps there have been 85 cases of this. | ||
| This is not a real problem. | ||
| Linda Sienkiewicz, good morning. | ||
| You always have some great news for us whenever you come on the show, and I believe you have some today. | ||
| Tell us, we have the RNC has a victory. | ||
| It's clocked up a legal victory against Tim Walz, Minnesota. | ||
| What's happened here? | ||
| What's the judgment? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, it took a little bit of time for them to get it through, but in Minnesota, Walz had allowed everyone to get driver's license, regardless whether you are a U.S. citizen | |
| or not, but it also automatically registered them to vote, which is illegal. | ||
| And they have now forced them to remove, or at least put on the inactive list, well over | ||
| a thousand that they have found to date. | ||
| And we know there's going to be more. | ||
| And I just want to comment on that previous clip. | ||
| The fact that only 85 illegals voted in U.S. elections. | ||
| elections, that's because people had not been really looking at this. | ||
| And now, over the last few years, they don't even want to look at people who had violated election law. | ||
| So that clip in the beginning is just because of that number does not mean that's all that there is for that. | ||
| But kudos to Minnesota on what they've done. | ||
| Not only the RNC, but the Minnesota GOP. | ||
| And one of the things, as I said, we are a non-partisan nonprofit. | ||
| And if the DNC would actually send me information on what they are doing to help election integrity, I'd be more than happy to talk about it. | ||
| But it seems I have not gotten anything. | ||
| And the only things we're seeing now are the victories of the RNC. | ||
| Upholding our elections here in the United States. | ||
| Linda, what's happening in North Carolina regarding ID, specifically digital ID and students? | ||
|
unidentified
|
You know, one of the things that absolutely amazes me is that people who know their jobs and they should know the laws around their jobs are constantly violating the state statutes within each state. | |
| So what North Carolina has done is they started allowing college student ID numbers to be able to be used for voter ID, which is just ridiculous. | ||
| Everyone has their voter ID number and it should stay with that. | ||
| But like I said, they're busy trying to circumvent the law again. | ||
| Linda, just tell me what that means, because presumably any student in the United States has a student pass to get into their respective university halls of accommodation, and what have you, to get their lessons. | ||
| Presumably, non-American students have exactly the same student ID as American students. | ||
| I figure, I guess, that it won't show on the student ID the citizenship, right? | ||
| So isn't that just like the most overt in your face way of giving idea, allowing to vote people, giving the ability to vote people who Quite clearly have no actual other ID or claim to be able to do so. | ||
| What I mean to say is that if you're an international student studying in the United States, you take your student card and say, I want to be able to vote with this in North Carolina. | ||
| And they'll say, yes, please go ahead. | ||
| There's your voting booth over there on the basis of a student ID card, which doesn't even indicate the student's nationality. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, I can even go one step further that's more ridiculous, and that's here in the state of Connecticut. | |
| All they need is college students to register is a letter from the college itself. | ||
| They don't even have to show ID. | ||
| Even if they live in Oklahoma and they're asked, well, are you registered there? | ||
| They then have to make a phone call to see on election day whether they're registered there or not, but they still allow them to vote. | ||
| And like I said, in Connecticut, for the college students, it is just a letter from the university. | ||
| So, you know, it's ridiculous on what's going on. | ||
| Tell me that again. | ||
| Tell me that again. | ||
| What do they need in Connecticut? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Just a letter From the university, like Wesleyan University here in Middletown, Connecticut. | |
| They would get a letter from the university that they would bring when they registered to vote. | ||
| That's it. | ||
| But what is the letter required to say? | ||
|
unidentified
|
That they are a student. | |
| That's it. | ||
| So simply a letter? | ||
| A letter. | ||
| Not even a student ID card, right? | ||
| Not even a student ID card. | ||
| Just a letter affirming the name of the letter, of which there's no proof that the person presenting that letter is the person contained in the letter, presumably. | ||
| Correct. | ||
| Correct. | ||
|
unidentified
|
OK. | |
| You're right. | ||
| When you said you had something even more ridiculous, I thought, well, let's see. | ||
| And you have delivered. | ||
| We have, after the break, Marlee Hornick coming on, who said, and I'm going to confront her with this, because I remember when she was last on the show, she said, and this is revelatory to me, but I'll need to clarify it with her after the break, she said something along the lines that it is the obligation, the legal obligation on the state to deter, to | ||
| To prove, to demonstrate that those voting have the eligibility to do so. | ||
| I'm going to run what you said, Pastor, because I can see huge legal challenges on this, because they're obviously not fulfilling their own state and federal statutory So tell me briefly, we've got like a minute before the break, or perhaps we might indeed need to hold you over the break. | ||
| What are you guys doing to oppose North Carolina and Connecticut on these maneuvers? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, we're not actually opposing them because we're not into the litigation process, but the RNC in North Carolina again is stepping forward with that fight as far as they have a lawsuit. | |
| This is their fourth lawsuit against North Carolina. | ||
| Us, we're just getting the word out there. | ||
| We're working on a number of other things here in Connecticut that we should have together another week or so that if you think you were astonished at the lack of responsibility in making sure that elections are absolutely only U.S. | ||
| citizens and only people that live in the states, you're going to be surprised what we found out. | ||
| So we also are having, as we had before, a number of people requesting our double register, double voter data. | ||
| We've got the new data ready and it's been going out. | ||
| We've been getting it to thousands of people. | ||
| We're now in 49 states. | ||
| This will help you with either your challenges, even on election day, or know the people that should have been removed. | ||
| So you just go to our website, fightvoterfraud.org. | ||
| We've had thousands of people Sending letters to the Secretary of State when we promoted a few weeks ago about the Nevada Secretary of State and how to find the illegals. | ||
| So we're really happy with that. | ||
| Linda, hold on. | ||
|
unidentified
|
on moving back after this quick break in two minutes. | |
| Linda Sinkiewicz, two other pieces of news that you bring to the posse's attention this morning, some mixed news from New Hampshire and some better news in Pennsylvania. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay, so in New Hampshire, Governor Sununu has signed into law a bill that would require people to be not only U.S. | |
| citizens, but they would have to show their ID or a passport. | ||
| And it also has to do with the fact that there will be no exceptions. | ||
| At all, which is phenomenal. | ||
| So there's not going to be provisional ballots, how they've had them before, you know, that you bring ID later and everybody always counts those anyway. | ||
| So they have eliminated that problem. | ||
| Unfortunately, though, it does not go into effect until after the November election. | ||
| So it will be future elections, but I'll tell you, it's a great step in the right direction. | ||
| What's the reason for that? | ||
| Why is it coming into act after November the 5th and not before? | ||
| Is it simply a case that they don't have the time to prepare themselves to check this? | ||
| Is there anything more sinister? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't think there's anything more sinister because sometimes laws don't go into effect for several months. | |
| I just think it's great the fact that it was actually signed So in the future, you know, we'll know and people will know that New Hampshire is one of the ones on board that actually respects our election integrity. | ||
| Yes, fantastic result. | ||
| A model for all of the states in the Union. | ||
| And over in Pennsylvania? | ||
|
unidentified
|
OK, so Pennsylvania has mail, with their mail-in ballots. | |
| I guess I've never seen one myself, but you have to put the date on the envelope that comes in. | ||
| Well, the Democrats had brought forward the fact that it was just too much for people to be able to comprehend on how to put a date, and that it would be a problem for people, and that their absentee ballots would get kicked out. | ||
| So the lower court said, oh, yes, you're right. | ||
| It's too much for people to put a date on this. | ||
| And it was brought to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, and the Supreme Court said, no, no, they need to put the date on there to make sure It complies with state statutes. | ||
| So again, that was another win for Pennsylvania trying to ensure election integrity, even though it's one small step. | ||
| I think it's fantastic. | ||
| It is. | ||
| It is a great result. | ||
| Linda, that's fantastic. | ||
| And this update, some good news, some mixed news and some Less positive news today, but on the whole very positive. | ||
| Once again, you were mentioning where people could go to get your briefing. | ||
| What was your website again? | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's fightvoterfraud.org. | |
| You can go there, you can download to get our free data. | ||
| I'm actually teaching people what they need to know with the data that we're sending. | ||
| That's what's up on our website right now on the 26th of September. | ||
| We're going to have a 15-minute webinar to review a number of things, so you can do that. | ||
| You can go to our info to find out how you can help on as far as even within your own community on what you can actually do. | ||
| Like I said, we have a number of other things coming up next week that we're going to be excited to talk about that's also going to be able to help get Illegals and non-citizens off the voter rolls, which we need to do. | ||
| We don't vote in France, we don't vote in England, and only U.S. | ||
| citizens should vote in the United States. | ||
| By the way, Linda, I saw something on YouTube yesterday, some publicity there, that it was advertising, and I'll use the scare quotes, Americans are abroad to vote. | ||
| In the forthcoming electoral register to make sure that they register to vote in the forthcoming election. | ||
| Obviously, they were stressing that this program is for Americans who are overseas and who need to vote. | ||
| But given the, as you've been recounting this morning, the pretty low threshold or non-existent threshold necessary to demonstrate that, one wonders, I've not seen this kind of publicity. | ||
|
unidentified
|
God bless you. | |
| Thank you. | ||
| is obviously registered in Italy. So when they're throwing that advert out in this territory, | ||
| they know what they're doing. And I'm sure they're doing it elsewhere. But you're doing sterling work. | ||
| Thanks very much, Linda. I look forward to catching up with you again on the show soon. God bless. | ||
|
unidentified
|
God bless you. Thank you. | |
| Thanks, Linda. Marley Hornick, you heard what we were saying just now. | ||
| Could you remind me, because I remember this revelatory thing that you laid out for the war in Posse a few weeks ago. | ||
| What is the requirement on the state to verify in terms of eligibility here? | ||
| Right. | ||
| The states have an ironclad responsibility under the second section of the 14th Amendment of the United States Constitution to both prevent any qualified eligible citizen voter from having their vote denied, right? | ||
| Everyone who's allowed to vote has to be able to vote and they have to prevent any invalid registrant from casting an invalid vote procured through corruption. | ||
| This is dilution of the vote. | ||
| The states have to equally protect against denial of the vote and dilution of the vote. | ||
| And the only way to protect against dilution of the vote is for the state to prevent themselves from giving anyone a ballot who doesn't meet the qualification and eligibility requirements of state, federal, and constitutional law. | ||
| So what the question is, then, is can you prove that the state has done that? | ||
| And that is exactly what the United Sovereign Americans mandamus lawsuits already filed in nine U.S. | ||
| states covering 173 electoral college votes have pre-positioned as an argument at law, is that the states have already done this. | ||
| In 20 states, United Sovereign Americans found 29 million facially invalid registration records. | ||
| This has nothing to do with citizenship. | ||
| These are people named asterisk. | ||
| Who are registered to vote equally to you. | ||
| That's not an illegal vote. | ||
| I mean, that's not a legal voter. | ||
| You see what I'm saying? | ||
| There's multiple ways to be illegal in the voter rolls. | ||
| And out of those 29 million registrants, the states allowed 10 million of them to cast votes. | ||
| They counted these votes equally to qualified eligible citizen voters votes. | ||
| Which is a deprivation of rights acting under color of law. | ||
| Our lawsuits clearly state this civil rights abridgment, this fundamental civil rights abridgment of the founding principle of United States of America, representative government, already happened in 2022. | ||
| It's not a question of law. | ||
| It already took place because here's the law and here's the state's records and boom, they did it. | ||
| Now, what we're arguing is all of our plaintiffs, many of whom have been spending the last two to four years of their lives doing nothing other than researching these issues and bringing them to the attention of the states, they haven't been able to get the states to remedy the problem. | ||
| The states are recalcitrant. | ||
| They refuse. | ||
| So what we have prepositioned is that if the state—so the mandamus orders the state to follow the law in 2024. | ||
| Because we have 51 days left. | ||
| We can't start talking about what a strategy would be. | ||
| We have to have the strategy ready. | ||
| And that's what United Sovereign Americans has. | ||
| We have prepositioned standing to challenge these elections as a matter of law under civil rights before they get certified. | ||
| It's not just that the voter rolls have to be accurate. | ||
| It's that the votes counted have to come only from eligible citizen voters, that the number of votes counted has to equal the number of voters who voted, and that the reliability standards set by Congress would Maximum error rate of 0.0008% in counting ballots is upheld. | ||
| And I know you probably have a question, but I want to make sure we talk about what just happened in Michigan and Montana and how the War Room Posse is going to help United Sovereign Americans take this to the mat in November. | ||
| Mali, hold on. | ||
| I do have questions. | ||
| When you come back after the break, we're going to bring in Bruce Castor to break down these revelations of what you've just been saying. | ||
| Hold on. | ||
| We'll be back in two minutes. | ||
| Did you know there is nearly $1 trillion of infrastructure and pandemic funds yet to be spent? | ||
| That's right, there's a massive amount of money that the lame duck administration is pushing hard to spend in their last few months. | ||
| If Biden can push out these funds, we could see another prolonged inflation surge, just like during COVID. | ||
| And I'm sure you remember the terrible effects that high prices had on Americans and still do. | ||

Welcome back. | |
| So we're just talking with Marley Hornig from United Sovereign Americans. | ||
| We're going to bring in now Bruce Castor, a lawyer who was actually involved in representing President Trump in his second impeachment. | ||
| Good morning. | ||
| Before we go to Bruce and hear about his challenges, Miley, could you just repeat what you were saying before the break about these two legal actions that you're involved with in Michigan and Montana? | ||
| Well, just to clarify, we're involved in legal actions under Bruce's representation. | ||
| He's our litigation manager for United Sovereign Americans. | ||
| We filed lawsuits in Maryland, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Florida, Texas, Michigan, North Carolina, Georgia, and Colorado. | ||
| What I was going to bring up is issues from the primary elections in Michigan and Montana that United Sovereign Americans analysts have already returned data for, indicating that the problems are continuing and that the need for permanent restraining orders is very likely to be real during the administrative process. | ||
| And Bruce can talk about how we've prepositioned that he's the genius. | ||
| Let's go straight to the genius. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, the lawsuits have the thread that runs through all of them, that there are minimum standards that Congress has put into place that require that elections meet a certain threshold before they can be certified. | |
| So the idea is that anything by man is going to have the possibility of being Imperfect. | ||
| So the question is, how do we make it as close to perfect as possible so that you can have confidence in the outcome of the election, that the results are worthy of certification and of belief? | ||
| And it turns out that Congress has passed a couple of laws that give us a formula for deciding what that threshold is. | ||
| And the United Southern Americans people in their analysis have demonstrated, to my satisfaction anyway, that the The states in which we filed lawsuits did not meet those threshold requirements in the 2022 federal election, which was the last federal election. | ||
| And despite being told of these problems in the interim, have done nothing to fix them. | ||
| So that in 2024, 2026, et cetera, the federal elections will continue to have the same problems, presumably, and that the federal court needs to step in And tell those government officials that are required to enforce the law to do their jobs, starting with the Attorney General of the United States, who is supposed to see that congressional mandates are carried out, and then those state officials whose job it is under the U.S. | ||
| Constitution to act as quasi-federal officials in supervising federal elections to do their jobs. | ||
| And that's what a mandamus is. | ||
| It's a mechanism for requiring public officials who If they're refusing to do the jobs that they're legally obliged to do, are they impeachable at a state level? | ||
| Well, sure they would be, but that's an entirely different process than what we're talking about here. | ||
| I mean, the concept of mandamus is you You target a specific duty that a government official is required to perform, a ministerial duty. | ||
| So we can't ask the federal court to tell the public officials how to go about doing their duties. | ||
| We can just ask the federal court to order the public official to do it. | ||
| And in this instance, we have statistical proof that in 2022, the elections were not done in accordance with congressional mandates and the Federal and state officials responsible for making sure that those mandates are carried out haven't done anything in order to repair the issues so that we in 2024 and subsequent federal elections | ||
| They would be done correctly. | ||
| So I'm not asking the federal judge to order the Attorney General and the Secretaries of States of individual states how to do their jobs. | ||
| I'm just ordering him to make them do it. | ||
| And that's the difference between a mandamus action and an injunction, where an injunction is requiring public officials to do a particular thing. | ||
| Here, we just want them to do something. | ||
| And so far, they've done nothing. | ||
| And the end result of doing nothing, Ben, the end result of doing nothing appears to be a civil rights violation to all eligible citizen voters, because the main thing the states failed to do is prevent against clear dilution of the vote, when their error rates are wildly in excess of the maximum error Congress allows for. | ||
| So I think I've understood the difference here between an injunction and a mandamus action. | ||
| What are the consequences? | ||
| So just to put it in terms of your own definition there, an injunction is a legal getting a court order effectively constraining a public official to do a certain function. | ||
| And a mandamus order, presumably then, is just that they do something, to use your own definition. | ||
| What are the consequences of them not doing it? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Or not doing something? | |
| Well, to pick up on what Marley said, the point of all this is that every person who votes expects their vote to be counted the same power as every other person who votes. | ||
| So if there are a whole lot of votes that should not have been counted, it dilutes the value of the individuals who followed the rules and voted correctly and had the machines count their vote correctly and had the tabulators properly Index their vote. | ||
| So it reduces the power of any individual in the vote that they cast. | ||
| Because if you have 150 people voting and 50 of them aren't supposed to have been able to vote, your vote now counts a lot less than if it was 100 out of 100. | ||
| Because you're 1 out of 150 when you should have been 1 out of 100. | ||
| of 150 and when you should have been one out of 100. And that's the main | ||
| deleterious effect that comes out of failing to follow the rules. | ||
| I'm looking at this in a linear fashion. | ||
| No, no, no, please. No, I didn't mean to interrupt you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The upshot of all this is there is a specific series of things that these public officials | |
| are supposed to do. I'm looking at this in a linear fashion. | ||
| I'm asking the federal judges in the states in which we filed to ascertain that we are | ||
| right, that there were these violations of congressional mandates, and order the Attorney General | ||
| of the United States and the relevant state officials to do their jobs and make sure that these | ||
| errors don't occur in future federal elections. | ||
| Now, beyond that, anybody who has been damaged as a result of having their vote count less, I suggest have A civil rights cause of action against anybody who failed to do their duty and are damaged in respect of having not been able to participate in the electoral process at the same level as they were supposed to have been able to do. | ||
| And they could have causes of action, civil causes of action, and in some cases even criminal causes of action. | ||
| against the public officials that fail to do their duty upon notice. But that's a problem for | ||
| further down the road. The first step is to convince federal judges that the congressional | ||
| mandates were not complied with. Can I just go back a little bit here and... | ||
| I'm trying to get my head around some of these, to me, new legal concepts. | ||
| What is it? | ||
| And I'll repeat the question. | ||
| What is the consequence for a public official then if you win, if you win before the federal court with these mandamus actions? | ||
| What would be the consequence if the receiver of this court order just ignores it? | ||
| What would be the consequences then? | ||
|

Well, if the court ordered the public officials to do what we're asking and then they refuse to do it, there would be fines associated with that and upon sufficient Failure to comply would be jail terms, but those things don't happen. | |
| I'm old enough to remember when federal judges were ordering state officials to engage in desegregation and carry out congressional mandates involving civil rights in schools. | ||
| And what happens is federal judges then take over the process and demand constant updates | ||
| and reports and appoint officials to monitor that the state officials are carrying out | ||
| the congressional mandates as ordered by the federal judge. | ||
| And you know, if the if they're not doing it or the state officials not doing it quickly | ||
| enough where the United States Attorney General is not enforcing the court's order, then those | ||
| officials can be brought before the court and sanctioned in usually financial ways, | ||
| but in extreme cases can be sanctioned in civil contempt proceedings to put them in | ||
| prison until they will comply. | ||
| But those things historically haven't happened. | ||
| And it's, you know, an entire generation, probably two generations of people don't remember when federal courts did these sorts of things, when they saw massive ignoring of congressional mandates by the states. | ||
| The only mechanism to make states do what Congress is requiring is to get federal judges to step in and order that the congressional mandates be followed. | ||
| And that's what we're trying to do. | ||
| But ultimately, what I envision happening is the judge will order a procedure whereby | ||
| individual states are monitored by court-appointed officials and report back to the court on | ||
| progress in implementing the court's findings. | ||
| And in the short term, I envision the court requiring the use of provisional ballots that | ||
| would then be counted when there was more time after the election, but pre-certification, | ||
| and ascertain each one whether they were properly cast. | ||
| This is going to be a very difficult thing, but it isn't as though we haven't done this | ||
| in history. | ||
| I mean, it has happened plenty of times where Congress has imposed its will on the states and the states have refused to follow congressional requirements. | ||
| I wish we had a whole hour to break this down, because it's so important. | ||
| But thank you for the exposition on what you're doing. | ||
| Marley, just quickly, in the 30 seconds, where can folks go to get involved and participate more in what you're doing? | ||
| How can they support you? | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Uniteforfreedom.com is where you can sign up to get involved. | ||
| That's where you can learn about how you're going to help us gather real-time evidence starting at early voting and through the administrative process. | ||
| Because if we can demonstrate already on a material basis in real time that the states have failed to follow a lawful process in the counting of votes, that will significantly improve our chances at blocking | ||
| what would be certification on a basis of perjury of a sham process. The citizens of America have | ||
| to protect our right to vote when we see all across the country, the election officials, | ||
| state officials, they're going to stand down on this, but we cannot stand down because there's | ||
| too much on the line. | ||
| We have a beautiful history here. | ||
| We've inherited a wonderful opportunity to live in liberty and perpetuity and to protect that for our children and our children's children. | ||
| And we cannot let up. | ||
| One hair, we cannot let up. | ||
| No, that's absolutely incredible. | ||
| Marley, Hornik, Bruce, Custer, I'm very, very grateful for you joining us on the show this morning and giving us this exposition. | ||
| And I look forward to you both coming back on the show. | ||
| Marley, you come on all the time and give us an update on how you're getting on with that. | ||

| Mortgage rates, which have fallen to the lowest level since February of 2023. | ||
|

|
What does this mean for the housing market? | |
| It's a good news, but not an amazing news. | ||
| We're down about 6.2%, which, by the way, is the lowest since 2023. | ||
| But, you know, one of the problems, and we've talked about it before on this program, is you have this lock-in effect. | ||
| So many people who got 30 year mortgages in 2018, 19, 2021 and perhaps even before that, | ||
| you know, at rates that were, you know, 3%, 3.5%. | ||
| And so the monthly cost of selling your home and moving is still so much higher. | ||
| And so you have this mobility problem, physical mobility problem. | ||
| But it's also impacted, by the way, the labor market, because people are less willing to say, you know what, I'm gonna go take a job in another state because I'm gonna have to sell my home and then I'm gonna have to buy a new home. | ||
| And even though the new home Seems to me that MSNBC are struggling to put their lipstick on a pig there. | ||
| much higher. So it's good news that rates are coming down, there's no question, but | ||
| we are still so far from where we were two and three and four years ago that I think | ||
| it's going to be very hard to quote unquote feel that effect, at least in the immediate | ||
| term. | ||
| It seems to me that MSNBC are struggling to put their lipstick on a pig there. Sophia | ||
| George, you study quite attentively all movements in the housing market. | ||
| Both MSNBC and Axios are going big on the fact that the 30-year fixed mortgage rate is down to the lowest point since early 2023. | ||
| The reason I suggest that they're trying to put lipstick on a pig here is that they're | ||
| entirely forgetting preceding basically 15 years. | ||
| That's just being airbrushed away. | ||
| And hopefully, I think the strategy is hit people over the head so much talking about | ||
| joy that they'll completely forget that that's the case. | ||
| The figures, the housing rate, the 30 year average had actually gone down, been going down, trending downwards for 15 years beforehand. | ||
| What's your reading on this? | ||
| And then I want to know specifically, About what's going on, because you've been studying this to do with the Consumer Price Index in the battleground states. | ||
| This is, you know, this is the reality, the economic reality that I think the Democratic Party mainstream media complex really don't want folk thinking about. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, absolutely. | |
| So what we've been seeing is that 62% of current homeowners have mortgage rates that are less than 4%. | ||
| And 86% of these homeowners have rates that are less than 6%. | ||
| So this lock-in effect that they were referring to is real. | ||
| We have an inventory problem in the country in regards to housing. | ||
| There's not enough houses out there for the demand. | ||
| The affordability has dropped off, but the amount of demand has not dropped off at the same rate as we are seeing the inventory. | ||
| During the Trump administration from 2017 to 2021, interest rates actually decreased by 32%, from 4.1% to 2.8%. | ||
| From 2021 to date, we have seen the rates increase from 2.8% up to 7%. | ||
| from 4.1% to 2.8%. | ||
| From 2021 to date, we have seen the rates increase from 2.8% up to 7%. | ||
| So that is really the key figure here in our analysis of these rates. | ||
| Sofia, let me just, we've got to wheel back and repeat those figures, | ||
| because they're doing cartwheels on MSNBC talking about 6.2% as if this is a great achievement | ||
| for the Biden regime. | ||
| What was that figure you said, just mentioned, the lowest point under Donald Trump? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, Freddie Mac was reporting that Trump actually reduced the interest rates during his administration from 4.1 to 2.8. | |
| OK, so that's been airbrushed. | ||
| That's down the memory hole. | ||
| I think it was Morning Meeker, I think, in her segment. | ||
| was was doing cartwheels at 6.2 that's that's an interesting that's an interesting two figures for people to to compare and contrast that's what folks that's what you get um that's that's the choice you have you have mean tweets and 2.8 percent 30 year fixed mortgage or um the adults in the room and normalcy at 6.2 percent that and that's how you're going to feel that In your, in your, um, in your pocketbook. | ||
|

|
And I also just want to add that even that speculation of reducing the mortgage rate by 0.25%, it may actually cause home prices to go up, because it's not going to be enough to have these homeowners out there come out of that lock-in effect. | |
| It may be just enough to get a few more buyers out there looking for homes, so all that's going to do is increase the demand and potentially increase prices. | ||
| I think the attempt of my reading on this is that they're desperate for the Fed to lower rates to give a sugar rush to the economy or to the consumer so that they feel desperately in the remaining time before November that they're doing well financially and hopefully they'll forget the preceding Four years. | ||
| We're going to have to go into a break in just a couple of moments. | ||
| Can you just say something in 30 seconds? | ||
| Start off, tell me, what have you noticed in the battleground states? | ||
| And then we'll pick up on it again in a couple of minutes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| So, in the battleground states of Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Nevada, Georgia, and Arizona, we've seen home prices surging, just like we've seen throughout the rest of the country. | ||
| Particularly in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, we've seen the home prices surge by 30%. | ||
| Michigan and Nevada surged by 30% as well, and Georgia and Arizona over 40%. | ||
| In Pennsylvania, in particular, we have a low-income problem with the rental affordability. | ||
| There are, for every 100 low-income renters, there's only 38 available units in Pennsylvania, and that's expected to be decreased by 35% projected over the next 10 years, so definitely a shortage there in Pennsylvania. | ||
| Wisconsin and Michigan are showing decreased affordability in the last year of 11.3%. |
