=== Wisconsin Turnout Surge (05:11) ===

[00:00:00]  And formerly of CNN, and now with Wind, my station in Chicago on the Salem Radio Network.
[00:00:08]  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.
[00:00:17]  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.
[00:00:43]  Is that correct?
[00:00:44]  That's exactly correct.
[00:00:45]  And by the way, so I was able to find the registered voters number, so that's apples-to-apples comparison.
[00:00:49]  Good.
[00:00:50]  And this is from...
[00:00:51]  And this is from Wisconsin Public Radio, so I'm not taking it from some conspiracy site or some right-wing site.
[00:00:57]  It went from 82 to 90. So it was very high.
[00:01:00]  Wisconsin has a tradition of really high turnout.
[00:01:02]  82 is very, very high.
[00:01:04]  But still, it went up more than 10%, is my point, from 2016. And you rarely go up from a high number.
[00:01:12]  Correct.
[00:01:13]  It is dramatic.
[00:01:15]  82 to 90 is more dramatic than 52 to 60. Correct.
[00:01:20]  And particularly because so much of it was in the city of Milwaukee.
[00:01:24]  And Biden won the city of Milwaukee by 145,000 votes.
[00:01:29]  He only won the state by 20,000, right?
[00:01:31]  So that was seven times the margin was in the city of Milwaukee.
[00:01:35]  So that's how critical, again, for a big city.
[00:01:37]  And of course, people will say, aside from urban areas, almost always going left, is the large black population.
[00:01:46]  But the black population gave him a higher vote than anyone since 1960, I believe.
[00:01:53]  You mean Donald Trump?
[00:01:55]  Any Republican, yeah.
[00:01:57]  Correct.
[00:01:57]  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.
[00:02:07]  Which is a really peculiar phenomenon.
[00:02:09]  Again, it's something that we've seen in the battleground states, but not in the settled states.
[00:02:14]  And by that, I mean people who literally only voted for Joe Biden and then did not vote down ballot.
[00:02:19]  If we'd seen that phenomenon nationwide, Dennis, well, okay, then maybe there's something going on here.
[00:02:23]  There's some sort of trend that maybe we have to understand.
[00:02:25]  But we're seeing it only isolated.
[00:02:27]  In the battleground states, particularly the state of Georgia.
[00:02:30]  So in Georgia, where you have two very hotly contested Senate races, both of which are going to runoff, right?
[00:02:35]  So a ton of interest down ballot.
[00:02:37]  It's by no means just a presidential race.
[00:02:40]  If you look at the vote totals in Georgia, 2.4 million votes, a little more than that.
[00:02:44]  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.
[00:02:53]  So nobody, I mean, just a minuscule number, decided they only wanted to vote for Donald Trump.
[00:02:58]  For Joe Biden, over 95,000 people.
[00:03:01]  Okay, I want you to know, I find that the most compelling.
[00:03:05]  I agree.
[00:03:06]  I think of the four points I made, I think that's actually the most compelling.
[00:03:10]  It really enters the realm of inconceivable.
[00:03:14]  It's hard to, particularly, again, with such competitive Senate ratings.
[00:03:19]  Right.
[00:03:19]  95, yes, exactly, with a great interest in at least Senate.
[00:03:25]  I mean, if it was President and Senate, at least.
[00:03:27]  But it's just President?
[00:03:30]  Why don't you, again, give me the number again?
[00:03:33]  It is 95. I'll give it to you exactly.
[00:03:35]  So the Trump only votes in Georgia is 818. And then Biden only 95,000.
[00:03:41]  95,000 to 818?
[00:03:44]  Correct.
[00:03:46]  Okay, so wait.
[00:03:48]  Again, this would be actually dispositive.
[00:03:53]  How many people did Hillary Clinton only in 2016?
[00:04:00]  Yeah, that I don't know.
[00:04:01]  I wonder if it's knowable.
[00:04:04]  Yeah, maybe not, because it's not something normally trashed, right?
[00:04:07]  I know, exactly.
[00:04:08]  And by the way, I give a lot of credit to Sidney Powell, the one who really noticed this first.
[00:04:11]  She's on our Trump campaign.
[00:04:13]  Yes, she's a lawyer, yeah.
[00:04:14]  She's terrific.
[00:04:15]  And nationwide, by her tabulations, there's 450,000.
[00:04:19]  Because I think when I spoke to you last, I said there was around a half million, but I didn't know exactly.
[00:04:22]  She has now said there's at least 450,000 Biden-only votes nationwide.
[00:04:28]  And again, they are predominantly in battleground states.
[00:04:31]  That's what doesn't make sense.
[00:04:33]  So in other words, you don't see this phenomenon happening in other states.
[00:04:36]  Right, in Wyoming.
[00:04:36]  Correct, exactly.
[00:04:37]  Or in New York, for that matter.
[00:04:40]  Right, or settled blue states.
[00:04:41]  Yes, that's right.
[00:04:42]  It didn't happen in Alabama, in a red state.
[00:04:44]  It didn't happen in New York, in a blue state.
[00:04:46]  Right, right.
[00:04:48]  So what is your future?
[00:04:52]  What are you going to be doing?
[00:04:54]  Well, I'm going back to my radio show.

=== Heading Back To Chicago (02:00) ===

[00:04:56]  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.
[00:05:04]  And, you know, we'll see what else.
[00:05:06]  I've been on deployment.
[00:05:06]  I've been 100 days here in Washington, D.C. It's been an incredible battle.
[00:05:10]  I've been honored to be part of it.
[00:05:11]  And it's not done, by the way, and I'll certainly still do television as needed.
[00:05:14]  But the movement now, the effort has pivoted to much more of a legal strategy.
[00:05:18]  Right, of course.
[00:05:19]  I understand.
[00:05:20]  Those folks have moved to the front.
[00:05:22]  By the way, you're going back to Chicago.
[00:05:24]  What did the mayor now say?
[00:05:26]  What was their latest proclamation?
[00:05:28]  Oh, my goodness.
[00:05:28]  Dennis, it's...
[00:05:30]  Yeah, so essentially a lockdown.
[00:05:33]  30-day lockdown.
[00:05:34]  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.
[00:05:43]  I know, but that's a health benefit.
[00:05:46]  You don't follow the science, Steve.
[00:05:48]  Right, right.
[00:05:50]  Maskless, screaming into the crowd, which, by the way, I have no problem with.
[00:05:53]  That's right.
[00:05:54]  But the hypocrisy.
[00:05:55]  No, no, no.
[00:05:56]  Right.
[00:05:56]  It's unbelievable.
[00:05:59]  So you're one of the places where we got this message, too, I think.
[00:06:04]  Did we get that in L.A.? Don't have Thanksgiving with anyone but the people you're living with?
[00:06:10]  Right.
[00:06:11]  And you know what?
[00:06:12]  Have Thanksgiving alone.
[00:06:14]  That's healthy, folks.
[00:06:15]  That's healthy.
[00:06:16]  Thanksgiving alone.
[00:06:19]  I will video my packed house on Thanksgiving and put it on the Internet.
[00:06:24]  I'm not kidding.
[00:06:25]  I think I should do that.
[00:06:26]  All right.
[00:06:27]  Bless you, Steve Cortez.
[00:06:29]  Thank you, sir.
[00:06:29]  You're terrific.
[00:06:30]  He is terrific.
[00:06:31]  He's bright, eloquent.
[00:06:35]  He's everything.
[00:06:36]  He's all the stuff.
[00:06:37]  By the way, is that racist to say someone's eloquent?
[00:06:40]  Isn't that the new thing?
[00:06:41]  If you say that a black person is eloquent, it's racist?
[00:06:43]  But if, say, Steve Cortez, maybe Steve Cortez.
[00:06:46]  Who knows what group he's in.
[00:06:49]  Cortez, isn't that Hispanic?
[00:06:51]  I mean, there you go.
[00:06:53]  It's the stupidity that the country has entered.
[00:06:56]  I'm sorry?
