Wisconsin Turnout Surge
00:05:11
|
|
| And formerly of CNN, and now with Wind, my station in Chicago on the Salem Radio Network. | |
| So you were talking about Wisconsin and the turnout, and so I did very quick looking up, but I didn't have enough time, but I got some stuff, and you're right. | |
| They say that your claim, and they don't use your name, they use Don Jr., that the claim that The Wisconsin vote dramatically rose as pants-on-fire lie, because just as you said before, they use all potential voters, and you use all registered voters. | |
| Is that correct? | |
| That's exactly correct. | |
| And by the way, so I was able to find the registered voters number, so that's apples-to-apples comparison. | |
| Good. | |
| And this is from... | |
| And this is from Wisconsin Public Radio, so I'm not taking it from some conspiracy site or some right-wing site. | |
| It went from 82 to 90. So it was very high. | |
| Wisconsin has a tradition of really high turnout. | |
| 82 is very, very high. | |
| But still, it went up more than 10%, is my point, from 2016. And you rarely go up from a high number. | |
| Correct. | |
| It is dramatic. | |
| 82 to 90 is more dramatic than 52 to 60. Correct. | |
| And particularly because so much of it was in the city of Milwaukee. | |
| And Biden won the city of Milwaukee by 145,000 votes. | |
| He only won the state by 20,000, right? | |
| So that was seven times the margin was in the city of Milwaukee. | |
| So that's how critical, again, for a big city. | |
| And of course, people will say, aside from urban areas, almost always going left, is the large black population. | |
| But the black population gave him a higher vote than anyone since 1960, I believe. | |
| You mean Donald Trump? | |
| Any Republican, yeah. | |
| Correct. | |
| Donald Trump got a higher minority share than any Republican since 1960. The other phenomenon, and by the way, because I mentioned this on your show, and I didn't have precise numbers, and now I do, about the Biden-only votes. | |
| Which is a really peculiar phenomenon. | |
| Again, it's something that we've seen in the battleground states, but not in the settled states. | |
| And by that, I mean people who literally only voted for Joe Biden and then did not vote down ballot. | |
| If we'd seen that phenomenon nationwide, Dennis, well, okay, then maybe there's something going on here. | |
| There's some sort of trend that maybe we have to understand. | |
| But we're seeing it only isolated. | |
| In the battleground states, particularly the state of Georgia. | |
| So in Georgia, where you have two very hotly contested Senate races, both of which are going to runoff, right? | |
| So a ton of interest down ballot. | |
| It's by no means just a presidential race. | |
| If you look at the vote totals in Georgia, 2.4 million votes, a little more than that. | |
| For Donald Trump, the differential between people who voted Trump only and then didn't vote in the Senate races, literally out of 2.4 million, only 818 people did that. | |
| So nobody, I mean, just a minuscule number, decided they only wanted to vote for Donald Trump. | |
| For Joe Biden, over 95,000 people. | |
| Okay, I want you to know, I find that the most compelling. | |
| I agree. | |
| I think of the four points I made, I think that's actually the most compelling. | |
| It really enters the realm of inconceivable. | |
| It's hard to, particularly, again, with such competitive Senate ratings. | |
| Right. | |
| 95, yes, exactly, with a great interest in at least Senate. | |
| I mean, if it was President and Senate, at least. | |
| But it's just President? | |
| Why don't you, again, give me the number again? | |
| It is 95. I'll give it to you exactly. | |
| So the Trump only votes in Georgia is 818. And then Biden only 95,000. | |
| 95,000 to 818? | |
| Correct. | |
| Okay, so wait. | |
| Again, this would be actually dispositive. | |
| How many people did Hillary Clinton only in 2016? | |
| Yeah, that I don't know. | |
| I wonder if it's knowable. | |
| Yeah, maybe not, because it's not something normally trashed, right? | |
| I know, exactly. | |
| And by the way, I give a lot of credit to Sidney Powell, the one who really noticed this first. | |
| She's on our Trump campaign. | |
| Yes, she's a lawyer, yeah. | |
| She's terrific. | |
| And nationwide, by her tabulations, there's 450,000. | |
| Because I think when I spoke to you last, I said there was around a half million, but I didn't know exactly. | |
| She has now said there's at least 450,000 Biden-only votes nationwide. | |
| And again, they are predominantly in battleground states. | |
| That's what doesn't make sense. | |
| So in other words, you don't see this phenomenon happening in other states. | |
| Right, in Wyoming. | |
| Correct, exactly. | |
| Or in New York, for that matter. | |
| Right, or settled blue states. | |
| Yes, that's right. | |
| It didn't happen in Alabama, in a red state. | |
| It didn't happen in New York, in a blue state. | |
| Right, right. | |
| So what is your future? | |
| What are you going to be doing? | |
| Well, I'm going back to my radio show. | |
|
Heading Back To Chicago
00:02:00
|
|
| So the Steve Cortez Show has had a substitute host who's been wonderful, but I'm heading back to Chicago, and so I'll be back as your Salem brethren. | |
| And, you know, we'll see what else. | |
| I've been on deployment. | |
| I've been 100 days here in Washington, D.C. It's been an incredible battle. | |
| I've been honored to be part of it. | |
| And it's not done, by the way, and I'll certainly still do television as needed. | |
| But the movement now, the effort has pivoted to much more of a legal strategy. | |
| Right, of course. | |
| I understand. | |
| Those folks have moved to the front. | |
| By the way, you're going back to Chicago. | |
| What did the mayor now say? | |
| What was their latest proclamation? | |
| Oh, my goodness. | |
| Dennis, it's... | |
| Yeah, so essentially a lockdown. | |
| 30-day lockdown. | |
| By the way, mind you, when the news organizations announced that Joe Biden won on Saturday, she was out in the street of Chicago, super crowded, sort of pop-up. | |
| I know, but that's a health benefit. | |
| You don't follow the science, Steve. | |
| Right, right. | |
| Maskless, screaming into the crowd, which, by the way, I have no problem with. | |
| That's right. | |
| But the hypocrisy. | |
| No, no, no. | |
| Right. | |
| It's unbelievable. | |
| So you're one of the places where we got this message, too, I think. | |
| Did we get that in L.A.? Don't have Thanksgiving with anyone but the people you're living with? | |
| Right. | |
| And you know what? | |
| Have Thanksgiving alone. | |
| That's healthy, folks. | |
| That's healthy. | |
| Thanksgiving alone. | |
| I will video my packed house on Thanksgiving and put it on the Internet. | |
| I'm not kidding. | |
| I think I should do that. | |
| All right. | |
| Bless you, Steve Cortez. | |
| Thank you, sir. | |
| You're terrific. | |
| He is terrific. | |
| He's bright, eloquent. | |
| He's everything. | |
| He's all the stuff. | |
| By the way, is that racist to say someone's eloquent? | |
| Isn't that the new thing? | |
| If you say that a black person is eloquent, it's racist? | |
| But if, say, Steve Cortez, maybe Steve Cortez. | |
| Who knows what group he's in. | |
| Cortez, isn't that Hispanic? | |
| I mean, there you go. | |
| It's the stupidity that the country has entered. | |
| I'm sorry? | |
