When you're short on your dough, you can't stay there.
And I'm sure you will find many ways to have a good time.
It's fun to stay at the bar.
It's good to be back, America.
It truly is.
And the reality is, you know it.
I know it.
Donald Trump is a cultural icon.
Everybody wanted to be Trump, you know, in the 90s, even in the 80s.
And here we go.
Donald Trump is president-elect again.
And what is phenomenal is that you get the boxing event where the championship brings down the belt to Trump and does the Trump dance.
And then you've got the NFL players out there doing the Trump dance.
And it's actually remarkable that the NFL kind of stepped into it when they kind of cut off a couple of the players when they were doing the Trump dance.
And then it was quickly backed away where it was like, oh, wait, we don't have any issues with this.
And then it just spreads like wildfire.
And even current President Joe Biden was caught by the Babylon B doing the dance at cabinet meetings.
And an anonymous source within the White House confirmed reports of rising tension between President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris after Harris allegedly asked Biden to stop doing the Trump dance during cabinet meetings.
All joking aside.
The reality is this Trump dance is absolutely going viral.
There are multiple news agencies, even in Australia, Singapore, Vietnam, that are sitting there where they are doing the Trump dance.
And so America is back.
Thank God it is.
This four years of darkness is finally over, and we are on our path to inauguration.
And I have to apologize that Mike and Patrick couldn't be with you tonight.
Something else came up, so I'm willing to step in and sub in for Mike and the Lindell report.
So gracious for you to tune in and listen to me again.
And let's see what we can make of it.
Hopefully I can sub in and we do have some new news for you tonight.
And of course, the election frustration just will not stop with the Democrats because now they're challenging the elections and now they're raising questions.
And as we go through this journey together over the next few weeks into inauguration, who knows what the Democrats are going to pull.
So be prepared, buckle up.
Things are a lot closer this cycle than ever before.
And I'm a little concerned.
And so I'm really hoping that more and more candidates will step up and start challenging their elections.
So getting back to the news, it's kind of interesting that, of course, Pennsylvania has to be back in the news once again because the Democrats decided to sue that Pennsylvania election board over uncounted provisional ballots amid Senate recount and Casey loss.
And so it's absolutely amazing that the Democrat senatorial campaign filed a lawsuit yesterday over the counting of dozens of provisional ballots in Bucks County.
But here's where we got lucky.
We end up getting a Democrat commissioner in Bucks County who openly bragged about violating the law and counting illegal ballots.
She then panics, claims her statement was taken out of context amid calls to lock her up.
You said it, you bragged about it, and you defied the state Supreme Court order.
And now she's sitting there trying to walk back her statement amid calls to lock her up.
But she openly bragged about violating the law and defying the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruling.
And this ruling was even earlier before the election.
And she was even quoted as saying, We all know that a precedent by a court doesn't matter anymore in this country, and people violate laws anytime they want.
So for me, if I violate this law, it's because I want a court to pay attention to it, Democrat Diane McZilla said.
That's disgusting.
I really hope the citizens there will take her to task, and I hope she is up for re-election soon.
And if there is a method to recall her, I really believe that those citizens should explore all possibilities.
Now, what's interesting is that here we go.
Today, there was chaos as a New York judge was supposed to basically start sentencing for the Trump case in New York.
And he basically just kind of adjourned and didn't even handle the sentencing.
And this is the same judge whose daughter was sitting there making a ton of money off of this case and raising a ton of political hay out of this as well.
And so he just adjourned the case.
And apparently, who knows where this case is going to head next?
But already the Trump team is asking for dismissal of this case because it has been just a complete travesty of justice and a complete joke.
Now we see that Carrie Lake this past weekend was greeted by Trump and Elon Musk at Mar-Lago.
Is there a role for her in the administration?
Well, some of the roles that I thought she would be taking on are already filled by some pretty powerful women that have stepped up.
And who knows?
Her future is bright, but I still think she needs to challenge our election in Arizona because that just does not make sense to me how that election is turning out.
Oh, don't worry.
Ever since the announcement of the new AG, Matt Gates, we've noticed that a shredding company has arrived, I kid you not, outside the Department of Justice buildings just days after Trump announced Matt Gates Attorney General nomination.
And so this may be causing, of course, the deep state officials to undertake desperate measures to evade accountability.
There's other places we've seen shredding companies, you know, at county courthouses right after an election, and sometimes some of those ballot envelopes just turn up missing and other election material.
So these are clues that something's not quite right.
Then, luckily, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene sends a warning to Congress on selectively releasing only ethic reports that harm Trump appointees.
Be prepared to release them all.
Oh, I am so ready for this.
And so the reality is, we all know those crazy reports out there that we've been wondering about.
You know, Epstein, some of these other crooked politicians that are out there, and how much money has the ethics committee paid to settle cases and keep people quiet.
I think we should have a full disclosure of everything that is out there.
And somehow, mysteriously, a new hacker has obtained a trove of the documents from the quote-unquote damaging report, and that has been leaked out there.
And so this so-called hacker obtained the transcript of testimony from the Damaging Law Fair House Ethics Committee report of Matt Gates, according to the New York Times.
And Gates has, of course, denied the allegations.
And the Justice Department, under the Biden administration, declined to bring charges after investigating the matter.
So let's put on our common sense hat.
If the Biden administration didn't want to go after Gates, that tells you there was not enough evidence to bring something forward.
And you know, the Biden administration would want to dig that up immediately.
So this appears to be another one of these smear campaigns that is out there.
But back to Pennsylvania, even Governor Josh and Democrats to stop trying to steal the Senate race.
And so he has urged Democrats to stop trying to steal the Senate race from the Republicans.
And Democrat Senator Bob Casey, who has held the seat for 18 years, and of course he'll feel entitled to keep it, he is refusing to concede the race to Republican Dave McCormick, despite the race being called by multiple networks and election experts.
And so this is another case of election denialism.
Now, of course, the Babylon Bee is quick to basically identify that the new Department of Government Efficiency identified 535 government workers who haven't really done any work for years.
The very fact that they haven't passed a budget in decades really shows us that this particular block of useless lumps drawing government paychecks was surprisingly so easy to identify and expose.
That would be your beautiful Senate and Congress, in my view.
And so the fake quote here is this group is without a doubt one of the most useless bunches of government excess that one can imagine.
Oh, we can imagine more.
We've seen it.
Records show that they haven't done a single productive thing in decades.
Totally, completely surplus.
Fat just begging to be trimmed right there.
And so this is fantastic, not to be outdone.
The Babylon Bee, recognizing that CNN is laying off so many employees, they are so gracious that they were quoted as saying, we're not here to gloat.
We're here to help, said Babylon B CEO Seth Dillon.
Look, the fake news industry is fiercely competitive, and CNN has incredible talent.
We may be rivals, but at the end of the day, we're human beings, human beings who love making up the news.
And so hopefully you enjoyed that little bit of levity.
But that's kind of where we're at.
Unfortunately, our elections really aren't a joke, but some of the Democrats really do want to make it a joke, and they just want to pull the wool over our eyes.
And this is why it's so important that we understand the facts from the fiction.
And so when they sit there and say that this is the most secure election that we've ever had, it kind of makes you wonder back, well, how bad was it?
Especially now that there are Democrat cases and now articles saying that somehow Team Trump hacked the election.
Wait a minute, weren't you the ones telling us that these things aren't connected to the internet?
So how is that even possible?
So now they're going to have to have a pretty high bar to raise to kind of explain this mental gymnastics to us because they can't have it both ways saying that this is the most secure election and that Trump stole the election.
So the reality here is they better make up this story pretty quickly and come forward with facts because more than likely they're just going to be liable to expose themselves.
Now, yesterday I told you that Patrick and Mike would be here to kind of explain some of the close races that are out there.
Luckily, I did a little bit of research before the show tonight, and I did take a look at some of the close Senate races that are out there and the five House races out there.
And what really got me thinking is looking back at history when Trump first started out in 2016 is that he had much more of a margin than what he's going to be walking into this administration.
So hopefully team Republicans can work together to get these nominations through the finish line, but also the legislative agenda.
It is going to be hard, especially with such a small, narrow team.
And it kind of frightens me what we're looking at here.
And so first, let's take a look at the Senate race.
And what's really interesting about the Senate race is that we actually see that the Republicans have the lead right now with 53 captured seats, and the Democrats will only have 47.
By all means, this isn't filibuster-proof.
And so this will be interesting as politics moves forward in the coming next couple of years.
Now, of course, there are a couple of senators, I hate to admit this, that are really long in the tooth, and there could be some additional replacements in the next couple of years.
I hate to call it out, but Mitch McConnell's not looking so good here.
And when we actually look at some of the races here, look at Arizona.
This one still befuddles me.
When we look at the votes that Trump got here, 1.7 million votes, and then somehow Cary Lake only gets 1.59 million votes.
This is a well-known news anchor in Arizona that is probably more liked than Trump and has had a lot more experience in the Arizona culture, if you will.
And so this left-leaning Galliego, who is definitely more left than Harris, plus all of the other negative news media, how did he get more votes than Harris?
This really kind of screams vote flips more than anything else.
And so, this is where I would want to encourage the Arizona team down there to make sure that you are looking at all of the logic and accuracy tests that were done for all of the counties, all of the precincts.
Make sure that no ballots were reprinted or redesigned.
Something just doesn't look right there.
Why would there be such a separation between Trump and Kerry Lake?
I would make the assumption more people would probably like Kerry Lake than Trump in that area because she's such a well-known commodity there in that area.
Unless there's just something that I'm completely amiss to, it just doesn't add up.
And there's a couple other races like that in the Senate as well.
And so, when we look at that, that just doesn't make sense.
And this is with 99% of the votes in.
And so Kerry Lake ran a good campaign.
So I just don't see how this happened.
Then looking out at Pennsylvania, we kind of saw the statement earlier from Shapiro basically saying let this one go and let it slide.
And here, this one is so close that it still doesn't quite make sense as well because I would have expected more votes to go for McCormick and not see such a drop off.
And so it makes me wonder what's happening with some of these ballots here.
How does Trump cross the 50% threshold, but McCormick not?
And especially when we see Casey is getting less votes than Harris, this one just doesn't make sense again as well.
But hopefully we can hang on to this victory in Pennsylvania and solidify this one because the Republicans are absolutely going to need it.
Now, when we look at Michigan over here, we can see this one is another head scratcher as well.
How does Trump get 2.8 million votes, but Rogers drop off so much to 2.6?
And then Harris sitting there at 2.7 and then Schlotkin at 2.7.
That one doesn't trend well either up in Michigan.
And so this one definitely needs to be investigated, I would say, in every single nook and cranny to figure out what's going on here in this particular Senate race as well.
Then also looking over in Nevada, this is another head scratcher of one.
How is it that Trump gets 751,000 votes, but Brown just collapses down to 677?
And then Rosen over there actually beat Brown.
And so that just doesn't trend well, that it doesn't make sense as to what's going on there.
Then one of the other races that we've talked about earlier in the actually last week regarding Havdi, that one also doesn't make sense.
And it looks like votes were flipped and it is close, but I can't see that much of a drop-off from Trump to Havdi.
And especially when we're sitting there looking at Harris, how does Baldwin get more votes than Harris?
Sure, he may be the incumbent, but you would think that Harris would actually be getting more votes than Baldwin, not the other way around.
And so this is another one of those that just doesn't quite make sense there.
And so it kind of was some of the issues that were brought up in the Havdi interview and video that he had out there with all of those extra absentee ballots and unsecured processes.
It makes us really wonder what did happen in that election.
And so this is where we really, really need to get more answers.
And without it, how can we trust the elections?
And so I'm really hoping that people are raising money and questions for these elections to figure out what is going on.
Now, when we look at kind of the universe of how things are shaping up for both the Senate and the House, this is where I get a little bit concerned.
When we look at the Senate there, we can see the 53 Republicans and the 47 Democrats.
And so we need all the Republicans to stay healthy so that we don't have any loss of being able to pass simple measures.
Now, when it comes to the Republicans on the House side, well, 218 needed to win.
That means all the Republicans have to be locked up, ready to go to be able to support legislation.
And I really don't know if they have it in them to be able to do that because there's always a couple of defectors that kind of blow the ability to kick the football.
And it feels like Lucy just pulls it away from us.
Now, with that, there are five races left in the House that are to be called.
And so it might give us just a little bit more of a buffer, probably two out of the five.
And so when we look at what Time magazine was putting out there, the AP and other media outlets use their own methodologies to call race winners based upon the tabulation of votes that have been counted and projections about what remains to be counted.
The AP is among the most conservative, which is funny because they were just accused of being liberal.
So that's kind of funny.
Only calling a race once its decision team is fully confident that the trailing candidates no longer have a path to victory.
Okay, so not conservative on ideology, but conservative in the methodology.
So let's just make sure that that's clear.
All right, so in the first race, we're looking at Alaska up here.
And here's what's interesting.
This has a little note that because Nick Begich is not going to cross the 50% threshold, they may have to have another race here for ranked choice voting if no candidate is the first choice on a majority of ballots.
And so this is one of those dangerous pieces why they even allow this.
And so this really opens it up to such a wildcard to who knows what we're going to get out of Alaska.
So this is not a race that I'm counting on that the Republicans will be able to seize.
Because if we notice here, there's another Democrat vote down here.
And depending on how they're doing this, who knows what kind of mess this is going to put in.
Now out to California, we actually see that there is a potential of two GOP seats that could be taken here right now, but not likely.
And that's actually the incumbents are the two GOPs.
So the first candidate, John Duarte, looks like he's going to prevail, but the second incumbent, Michael Steele, is going to lose his race on such a thin, thin margin.
But right now in that race, only 96% of the votes are counted.
And in the top race, only 91% of the votes are counted so far.
And so there's still a lot of sway in both of these elections that it's still too early to call.
I can't believe California, you don't have your stuff together with all that money that you spend, you can't get your elections counted.
This is pretty pathetic.
Then we go out to Iowa and it looks like the GOP candidate should be able to prevail with 99% of the votes counted.
It'll be interesting to see if this will be subject to a recount at all, if it's even close enough to do it.
But what's incredible is it looks like there's enough there for Miller-Meeks to be able to retain the seat.
And so that would be the second race if the other California race is able to be won.
So that two out of five could go into the Republican control.
The last race, which is interesting as well, another close one at 99% of the votes counted.
It looks like the incumbent Marcy Kaptur is going to be able to retain the seat in this close race as well.
And so it is really unfortunate that this election is as close as it is.
That when we sit here and we look at kind of the final tallies here, that if the Republicans gain two more, they would be at 220.
And that is not a strong Republican house to really manage the affairs.
And so hopefully a whip like Tom Emmer or assistant majority leader, whatever role Tom Emmer has can kind of whip these people into shape to get them to vote uniformly for the Trump agenda.
And hopefully Mike Johnson can do that as well.
Now, what will be interesting is that with some of the Trump appointments where he is taking some of the House members and Senate members, luckily the good governors are Republican that they will be able to appoint replacements.
And since Matt Gates has officially resigned from the House of Representatives, that means your good governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis, gets to appoint his replacement.
And so that will allow us to keep the numbers there within the U.S. House of Representatives.
And depending on who he picks for the Senate and who he picks for the House, this is going to be very interesting.
And so it actually makes Florida a bit of a power player, and especially after what happened today, where the Democrats appointed a new judge for the 11th Circuit District that is going to be extremely liberal.
And that's going to damage Florida quite a bit.
And so it's really unfortunate that Biden did that late appointment so late into the presidency and just didn't wait for the next administration to come in and take care of that.
As of course, the Democrats always ask us to do.
So when we come back after the commercial, we'll get into some of the other kind of cases that we need to make sure that we're looking at to gather the evidence to be able to do a valid election contest.
And so when we come back, we'll deep dive into a couple other areas.

Rick Wiley here, subbing in for the great Mike Lindell.
I was just notified before starting the show that there's a new feature on Rumble where there is a live chat.
And I see we've got one of our first questions down here.
Hey, Rick Weibel, can you invite Eric Havdi on the show?
Would absolutely love to, would like to talk to him more in depth about his campaign and some of the other evidence that he expressed in his video on X, because I think there is more to unpack there that he can teach us and especially other candidates as to what is going on and what to look for.
And especially for the activists of Wisconsin, they kind of need some answers.
You know, did he truly give up?
Is he walking away from this?
What are his options, kind of where he wanted to go with his campaign and any potential challenges?
So I'll see if I can reach out to him and see if we can have him on deck for a future show in case Lindell needs me to sub in.
And so if you're watching on Rumble and you want to chat with the show today, we will try and do that.
And so look at this.
They even said that they live in Wisconsin, the person who asked about the question.
So if you can get us a number or we'll look at the campaign finance reports and see if we can get his number and get a hold of the campaign.
So I'll start making those calls tomorrow.
But as we kind of look at what candidates need, I think what we've learned is that 2024, we may have won the presidency, but that tells us that there's a lot more work to do, especially within the party, within the candidate recruitment, within the campaigns themselves.
And one of the things that I think Baron Trump, Laura Trump, Donald Trump, and what the whole presidential campaign has taught us is that the campaigns have changed.
We always talk about Trump time and how fast everything goes, but there were some things that we should have slowed down to observe.
Number one, what Trump did to go onto different social media platforms broke the traditional news media, broke the standard idea that Americans thought like gnats and that we didn't have time to ascertain a deep conversation.
The Joe Rogan experience, great name for a show, broke the internet in essence that Americans did want to watch a three-hour interview.
And even with JD Vance, Americans did want to understand him more.
And what the left was selling us, we find out, is a complete lie.
And to allow Trump to talk and explain who he was in a kind of just a man's man setting, or even just two people talking across a table, it worked.
And even other content creators out there that were interviewing Trump, it was phenomenal.
Even some of the Fox news interviews that he did with Gutfeld, even with other folks out there that were non-mainstream.
And I want to believe that Baron Trump kind of pointed Trump to these folks and he excelled.
We haven't had that in modern history.
And so when we looked at Ronald Reagan being the great communicator, now we have to look at Trump in a different light because Trump is different in that he is culture.
I mean, all the things that he does, naturally, he's a comedian.
He's quick-witted.
We see that time and time again with Trump.
We didn't see that with Kamala.
And we see the depth of Trump.
We never got to see that with Kamala.
And we rarely get to see that with other candidates.
And then, even with JD Vance, even in the interviews that he did, we got to see the depth of his character.
And there were a few people that were worried about JD Vance.
Is he the right candidate?
But then, after those interviews, case closed, he is the right candidate.
He gets it.
And so I think they've changed the model for politics in America.
And it doesn't mean that we only chase that one model.
I think Trump is one of the rare candidates that understands you have the baby boom generation.
You have Generation X, you have the Millennials, and then you have these newer generational folks coming out as well.
You have to hit them exactly where they're at.
So the landscape has completely changed.
So that's on the political advertising getting to know.
I think the other thing that has changed that Trump succeeded at that helped him win his race, it's the lawyers.
He had to have a team understand the laws.
Laura Trump and the RNC and all of the attorneys across the country that understood the details and the nuances and were willing to work with political activists who had been in the field looking at how corrupt the laws were and the avenues of where those doors needed to be closed legally.
That's where we see Trump succeed so well in the swing states.
When we see the voter registration fraud in multiple states and they go in and clean that up, then even the outside attorneys that aren't affiliated with Trump who are just looking at election law and doing to clean it up, they helped win the day.
They understood it.
Without that, without this formula, Trump couldn't have won.
And it took, it wasn't one individual piece, it was everything in there.
And so when we looked at even the equipment used in the elections, the certification, security, and testing, there were other great patriots Out there making sure that the logic and accuracy was accurate.
And we found issues out there, and it helped correct the elections.
And so it's so important that we understand all of these pieces.
And so many candidates are not surrounding themselves with people that are looking at these.
And many state parties, they're on autopilot.
They're not looking at these things as well.
And so I think as activists, we are going to have to get more involved with campaigns with our state parties to make sure that the parties are having proper oversight over our elections,
that we have a seat at the table when it comes to talking about election reforms within each of the states, whether it's even at a county level, but even working with election officials to help them conduct the elections and to make sure that they have enough volunteers and enough resources so they can maintain party balance, so that they don't have to go digging for these people that should be there.
And I think the party and activists should be teaming up to make sure that we're properly training people how to be good election judges, how to be good poll workers, poll watchers, etc.
Now, the other thing, too, is what's a little bit scary in looking at some of the data, the early absentee, I heard reports that it only brought in an additional 3% of ballots.
If that's the case, that means we shifted a lot of the absentee ballots forward from our in-person, and we didn't do a good enough job of backfilling.
So we're going to have to look at that, especially in the midterms.
We have to make sure that in the midterms, we can grow the Republican base, especially in the House seats that are out there, because otherwise we are absolutely going to fall on our faces.
Now, for candidates, this is where it gets a little bit tougher.
If you don't have a strong party and you can't afford attorneys, especially when you're down ballot, you're going to have to file these cases on your own, and you're going to have to get a lot of help from the grassroots to be able to accomplish.
You're going to have to find, get election judges to file affidavits, voters to file affidavits when they find election law violations.
You're going to have to have experts help you review the test X to review the election law.
And it becomes a very high bar.
And when you have a candidate versus a voter, the candidates always have a better standing issue than a voter.
And then calculating what was the damage.
Well, for a campaign, it's the campaign dollars that you spent to run a legitimate campaign.
That's the primary data that is easier for a judge to basically look at, especially if you are alleging that there was fraud or just complete corruption of the election process in itself.
And so if there are legal violations that could have created avenue for corruption of the election, those are valid claims that you can make against the election franchise to potentially get another election.
And that is so important.
Now, when I looked at some of the values here yesterday, where I brought it up kind of quickly, is what's the cost of an election?
And it's scary when we look at each of these different levels that when you look at a federal election and we look at, you know, a single year, 6.75 trillion, but the reality is we elect our congressmen and women once every two years.
And they're responsible for that budget, which is going to balloon past $13.5 trillion when you take two years and combine it.
And then when you look at the recent election, There was 150.3 million voters.
So you divide that out.
Well, it's about $90,000 per vote.
Then you get a state like South Dakota, where we have a smaller budget, you know, and it's $7.39 billion in expenditures.
You multiply that by two.
And you divide that by the number of voters that voted in the 2024 election.
And that comes out to just below $34,000 per vote.
And so you can go on and on.
And so for my county, you look at $26.6 million amongst 15,000 voters.
That's $3,400 per vote.
And then the little school that we have here that really doesn't have that many students, but they're going to spend over the next two years $14 million.
And with 350 voters that are making that decision, that's $40,000 per vote.
Then you look at the city of Elkton, and that's $18 million, 32 million, 262 voters.
That's $122,000 per vote.
And so the value of my vote during these election cycles, you know, is just under $300,000.
And I don't think people have ever really looked at that, but you should do this calculation to figure out what is the value of your vote.
Because I don't think we've ever really looked at this.
And when we think about all of the taxes that government wants to increase on us through all the different services and utilities and where they peg it onto us, this is actually really scary.
And we have to get control of this.
No wonder why our country is hemorrhaging.
We can't pay for all of this.
And it's unreasonable.
And the lack of voters as we get down to the lower levels per dollar to where it explodes to where people are not really participating in city and school board elections, no wonder why things are getting out of control.
And so this is where we need candidates to understand this and activists to understand this so that we understand why do we need transparent elections.
I truly believe that elections are the foundation to understanding your government.
If you don't have transparency in your elections, I doubt you have much transparency in your government.
I'm sitting in one of the states with one of the worst sunshine laws.
We can't request a lot of the information that other states can request.
I think we rank between 48th and 45th of states being able to request information.
This is according to kind of like the Associated Press news agency group that puts a score out there where they rate the ability of reporters to get public information from government agencies at all levels.
And South Dakota is just not good at it.
And I look at other states where they're better, but they're withholding election information.
For example, in Minnesota, counties are playing a game that they don't have the list for the accepted absentee ballots and the rejected absentee ballots when they were the ones in charge of it.
And they're saying go to the Secretary of State's office to request the report.
Well, you're all using the same data, and we should be able to request at any time that data from you or the Secretary of State.
And since you're the one entering in the county data and you may be putting it into a separate database and then uploading it later to the Secretary of State, this is why we're coming to you first.
And so some of this is a little bit of kabuki theater that they're trying to play in Minnesota.
Other states are doing this as well.
And why is this important?
It's so important because the timeline.
Many states right now are doing their canvassing.
And as soon as that canvassing is completed, the stopwatch has started.
And in some areas, you may only have two days to contest an election or to ask for a recount.
Other states, it goes up to 14 days.
And that not to be able to have that evidence hampers a candidate to be able to discover the truth about their election.
Were these valid voters?
Do the number of voters and ballots equal?
And without that information, you can't make that determination.
And that's where it gets really, really damaging.
So I'd like to take a quick commercial break and then we'll have some closing thoughts on some action items that you can do and some forward-looking things that we're looking at.

I spent the last four months doing my due diligence, and this family-owned business micromanages every step from the fields to the cup to ensure the best quality coffee you're ever going to have.

Then each batch is tested for its aroma, taste, and other aspects to meet the highest standards in the coffee industry.
And after that, it goes into production, which is all done right here in the USA.
It's like you're getting that small batch, specialty coffee, but delivered right to your front door.

You get them ground or whole bean, plus it's certified organic and non-GMO.

Welcome back.
And so kind of wrapping up today's segment, what I wanted to kind of have us look at is what can we do now?
And so for candidates that are contesting their elections, please support them financially and also be available.
Go to their websites and let them know that you might be available to observe any recount, observe any type of hand count, observe any use of the machines.
But also, if you know attorneys that might be willing to step up or be able to give advice on the back end to look at all of the different processes of the election to make sure that everything was done according to the law, it's a lot harder to do post-election.
So this is where you hope candidates are doing this up front and gathering this evidence so that they're able to immediately go forward.
Now, one of the other things that we do have to do a better job of is when we look at the landscape across the United States, I think this is a time that we have to get ready for January.
And so right now, some of your legislators are actually working on agenda items.
And so you should be trying to contact your state, House, or Senate committee members from your own district to find out if any of them are working on election law changes.
And so this is a quick chart of some of the areas that we are looking at.
And the states that are highlighted in green, they're going to have an easier time to make election law changes just based upon partisan politics.
And they're probably going to make laws that will help fix their elections to a more robust, accountable fashion.
They'll have more of an open heart toward that.
The red states are the ones that we've highlighted that our team is willing to go to and we've started setting up appointments to be able to meet with legislators and to show them some of the evidence from their own states and to be able to help them reform some of the election laws.
And so this is where we can work with Secretary of States.
We can work with the new governors, the new legislators, and be able to help them make those changes.
Now, some states will have different timelines.
Some states only do appropriations next year or the following year and then do significant law changes one of the other year.
In other states, they will do law changes both years.
And so you'll have to let us know for your state, if you need our help, what your legislative schedule looks like, who the leaders are.
Another group that you can typically partner with is the Freedom Caucus.
And so if your legislators are aligned with the Freedom Caucus, we might be able to have them network and help each other out across state lines as to what are some of the model legislation.
And we're working on that, and we'll have that available for you to take a look at at USCase.org here over the next couple of weeks.
And then we're working on specific legislation for South Dakota, Wyoming, and South Carolina presently.
And we will get that out as well so that you can look at those examples of how we are looking at that legislation.
The other thing to look at too, future-wise, is the software audit.
And you can help donate at uscase.org.
And we are looking at Dominion and ESNS source code audit primarily first.
If we get more requests to do the heart system, then we will open the door for that.
But these are areas that we definitely want to go in and take a look at.
And so I just want to remind everyone that it looks like the U.S. House and Senate is going to be close.
And so it's going to require a lot of our activism to make sure that the Republican congressmen and women are supporting Donald J. Trump and his legislative agenda, as well as the senators themselves.
And what's interesting is that I come from South Dakota.
John Thune is now going to be the leader of the Senate.
And so you bet I'm going to try and keep an open door for him on election integrity, but also on the Trump agenda to help clean up all of the waste that has been happening in our federal government and also to really work towards all of us to help us out.
And so I want to, again, thank all of you.
God bless all of you.
Stay awesome.
Stay the course.
And remember, you can do the Trump dance because America is back.
And I hate to ask Apollo for this, but if he has the video, maybe we should close out with it.
I'll say young man.
Cause you're in a new town.
There's no need to be unhappy.
Young man, there's a place you can go.
I'll say to young man.
When you're short on your dough, you can stay there.
And I'm sure you will find many ways to have a good time.
