Vote fraud and alien voting (11-05-2024--Hour3)

[00:00:04] What's going on? Thank you so much for listening to this podcast. It is heard live every day from noon to 3 on WBT Radio in Charlotte.

[00:00:28] Let me start with two things. Number one, gaslighting people is a psychological form of abuse. And people who are subjected to it, they suffer the symptoms and side effects of it. And I call it, you know, people call it Trump derangement syndrome, TDS. I say, you know, Trump broke a lot of people's brains.

[00:01:01] And you see a lot of it with the catastrophism going on today. You know, people are like, I need to talk to a mental health counselor because, you know, Trump wins or something. It's like, that's just nuts. And oh, he's going to destroy the democracy. Like, no, he's not.

[00:01:20] But again, maybe I am too naive on all of this, but I don't think so. And I'm just going by past experience. Oh, but Pete, J6, the insurrection. Right.

[00:01:31] Right. Um, who's been president for four years? Okay. Bad question. Cause we don't really know, but, um, but Joe Biden. Right. And of course he's been the president. Look at the economy. Right. I mean, just look at the mess that's been made. Of course he's been in control.

[00:01:51] So obviously the people who are saying Donald Trump won't give up power are not connected to reality because Donald Trump did give up power.

[00:02:03] Was that a peaceful transfer of power? I would submit it was not. It was not. And that was because of the rioters. That was because of the agents provocateurs on J6 as well. Right.

[00:02:17] What we have learned in the years since has given us different insights as to what occurred on that day.

[00:02:26] You also cannot remove J6 from the context of that year, which was the summer of mostly peaceful, but sometimes fiery protests.

[00:02:40] We saw cities burn, right? We saw mobs of people attacking others and buildings and such, by the way, did you see what they were doing in Washington DC today or yesterday?

[00:02:53] And actually over the last few days, they've been boarding up DC. That's not to protect the businesses from mega. Okay.

[00:03:03] This is the thing, the truth. What, you know, what actually happens is very difficult to determine.

[00:03:09] There are a lot of different angles, a lot of different people's stories and perspectives and that sort of stuff.

[00:03:14] And I know a lot of people want there to be a clean theory or a clean description.

[00:03:20] And it was only this and I'm right. You're wrong. And I get that. I get it.

[00:03:27] But people who have been gaslit through the media about their candidate, about their country, about themselves, they lash out.

[00:03:42] And I suspect that, you know, when you when you see everything that has been done to Trump over the last now eight years, I guess.

[00:03:53] And you then don't you will not put anything past the opposition.

[00:03:56] I get that. I totally understand it. It's why I voted for the guy for crying out loud.

[00:04:02] Is that I don't know of any other way to punish the media for its role in what we have seen.

[00:04:08] The weaponization of the intel agencies and the government against Trump and now apparently Elon Musk.

[00:04:14] You got Rachel Maddow on MSNBC calling for the government to seize his companies.

[00:04:21] Right. That is. That is dictatorial crap right there.

[00:04:27] That is the stuff you see in communist dictatorships.

[00:04:32] And that's what you have people in the media. Well, I mean, it is MSNBC, so they're commies anyway.

[00:04:36] But like that's what you've got them advocating for because of their political opponents positions.

[00:04:42] You have all of these formerly liberal people. These were Democrat voters.

[00:04:47] Right. There's a whole list of them now that are like, I'm not going to vote for Harris.

[00:04:53] I'm voting for Trump. You know, the future of the republic depends on it.

[00:04:58] Like that's not nothing. OK, so I understand.

[00:05:02] And. You know, people who don't trust any of the institutions, I understand where that comes from.

[00:05:09] I do. I also understand the need, a desire for me to agree with you, like call her Bill.

[00:05:18] I don't know if that was his name or not, but people who want me to agree with them.

[00:05:22] So then I can pick up the mantle and I can hammer away at this and I can, you know, change the world for them or something.

[00:05:28] I don't. I've never really understood.

[00:05:32] People want that validation because I agree with them on their particular, you know, single issue.

[00:05:37] I get it. I really do. I understand. I'm not denigrating anybody for that.

[00:05:41] I understand. But I also don't agree.

[00:05:45] And so I'm not going to espouse a position that I don't agree with.

[00:05:50] But I'm also pretty uninterested in going through and trying to get into the weeds of Maricopa County election rules from four years ago.

[00:06:00] When today is Election Day.

[00:06:03] There are people on the ground in Maricopa County.

[00:06:06] They can do the work and if they do the work and it turns out and if they do the work and they can get it in front of courts and they can get people in Maricopa County.

[00:06:13] Like there, it's not like there are no Republicans in any positions in Arizona.

[00:06:18] OK, but today's Election Day.

[00:06:24] And if, as the caller bill said, that there's cheating happening all over the place, you'll be able to get it all.

[00:06:32] You'll be able to capture on video.

[00:06:34] Right. You got an army of attorneys.

[00:06:36] The GOP is ready for it this time.

[00:06:39] They did not appear to be ready for it last time.

[00:06:44] And so we'll see.

[00:06:47] Like, I don't rule that out.

[00:06:49] I am, you might say, agnostic about it because I don't have the evidence to prove one way or the other.

[00:06:55] Now, what I do have evidence of is the way Donald Trump was subjected to investigations and smears.

[00:07:04] For years, I do have evidence of that.

[00:07:08] Right. When Mueller was impaneled, Robert Mueller, and they were doing the investigation into the the Russia collusion stuff.

[00:07:17] Then Michael Horowitz with the inspector general.

[00:07:20] I had people because I was on the air up in Asheville at the time, and I had people that were telling me that that there's that they shouldn't be doing this.

[00:07:32] And I disagreed with them.

[00:07:33] I said they should.

[00:07:34] There absolutely should be an investigation.

[00:07:37] I want to know.

[00:07:38] I want the documents.

[00:07:40] I want the I want the interviews.

[00:07:41] I want to see all of it.

[00:07:43] Right.

[00:07:44] You're making these allegations that Donald Trump is somehow a Russian asset.

[00:07:48] I think America needs to know that much like I think America needs to know if Tim Walls has been compromised by the Chi comms.

[00:07:55] Of course, we're not going to really get that.

[00:07:57] And that's why I wouldn't vote for Tim Walls or his running mate, Kamala Harris.

[00:08:02] And it's why I'm I voted for Trump, because I can't see the media.

[00:08:09] Doing that kind of an examination on his connections to the Communist Chinese Party.

[00:08:16] When I know that they will take any whiff of a rumor against Trump and run with it.

[00:08:22] That was my reason.

[00:08:24] So.

[00:08:26] But that's the thing.

[00:08:27] I require an investigation.

[00:08:29] I require evidence.

[00:08:31] That's my standard.

[00:08:33] You don't have to have the same standard.

[00:08:34] You can take the Facebook posts of people that don't know what election law is.

[00:08:39] And I have seen enough of it.

[00:08:41] I have seen enough of this over the last over the 20 plus years I've been doing this.

[00:08:46] Election law is really boring and it's really nitpicky.

[00:08:53] You know, I mean, there are all sorts of tiny little rules.

[00:08:57] And Democrats have staffed up an army of lawyers themselves over the last 20 years to learn those rules and exploit them.

[00:09:05] Absolutely.

[00:09:07] Lawfare is absolutely at play.

[00:09:10] Mark Elias.

[00:09:11] We all know the guy's name.

[00:09:12] And that should tell you really all you need to know about Democrat tactics.

[00:09:16] And here's the other part of this.

[00:09:17] Democrats, if you guys really do care about the democracy, a key part of that is that people have confidence in the system.

[00:09:25] Do you think that Republican voters have confidence in the system?

[00:09:31] I don't.

[00:09:32] I don't believe that.

[00:09:33] I don't believe that that Republican.

[00:09:35] I don't know what it is.

[00:09:36] Maybe half of Republican voters do not have confidence in the system that it's not rigged or people are cheating and all that.

[00:09:45] I think maybe even 50 percent might be too low of a number.

[00:09:49] It might be more than that that have no confidence.

[00:09:53] That's not good for the democracy.

[00:09:56] That's not good.

[00:09:58] And so I would just offer this up because, you know, me, I'm all about solutions.

[00:10:03] Maybe stop trying to undermine all of these different rules.

[00:10:08] Maybe stop fighting every single measure of election integrity.

[00:10:12] Right.

[00:10:13] Maybe stop looking like you're trying to rig the system.

[00:10:18] And that will inspire more people to be confident that you're not rigging the system.

[00:10:22] That's all.

[00:10:23] Right.

[00:10:24] That's it.

[00:10:25] When you when you have Elias running around filing lawsuits to try to count ballots with no postmarks on them, like that sends a message.

[00:10:34] OK, now maybe you don't care so much because you really don't care about the democracy.

[00:10:38] You care about the Democrat Party.

[00:10:39] That's your primary focus.

[00:10:41] And so you would actually like it if most Republicans don't vote.

[00:10:46] But then just please, you know, don't don't whiz on my boots and tell me it's raining.

[00:10:50] That's all I ask for.

[00:10:51] And I ask for it of all of you, like everybody.

[00:10:56] Republicans and Democrats alike, don't gaslight me because I can tell when you're doing it.

[00:11:01] You know, stories are powerful.

[00:12:01] Visit creativevideo.com.

[00:12:04] Just got this message from a friend who says they got a link here.

[00:12:11] Daughter of Jim Brown, the Hall of Fame running back and civil rights icon, endorsed Donald Trump.

[00:12:19] So that's what I've been saying.

[00:12:21] There is a realignment of the political parties happening.

[00:12:27] Not sure how it's going to shake out.

[00:12:28] But we'll see.

[00:12:35] The first State Board of Elections emergency meeting has now been called for today.

[00:12:41] This is standard.

[00:12:43] They usually have several of these, quote, emergency meetings.

[00:12:47] When precincts have problems or something, then they they do an emergency meeting and they're like, OK, we need to extend the, you know, the polling hours or something.

[00:12:56] And so this one is a single precinct in Wilson County at Gardner School.

[00:13:02] They had some sort of a disruption.

[00:13:04] So the board is going to meet at three thirty today to consider whether to keep the precinct open later than the seven thirty.

[00:13:15] Close time.

[00:13:16] So that's the first one that I'm aware of.

[00:13:18] That's Loretta Beniti reporting from Spectrum News.

[00:13:22] Then there's this we hear about, you know, I am not unsympathetic or unreceptive to.

[00:13:32] Allegations of.

[00:13:35] Fraud at all.

[00:13:36] I've been making these arguments for years.

[00:13:39] Why?

[00:13:39] I'm a big supporter of voter I.D.

[00:13:42] I also recognize that the rigging, quote unquote, occurs way before Election Day.

[00:13:47] It's through big tech, social media and the like.

[00:13:51] And here's another example of it today.

[00:13:53] Right now, if you go to Google and you type in where can I vote for Donald Trump?

[00:13:59] You will get links to CNN.

[00:14:02] For live updates on the election.

[00:14:04] If you go to Google and you type in where can I vote for Kamala Harris?

[00:14:08] You will get a map of where to go vote.

[00:14:12] Right.

[00:14:14] So, you know, I don't think that moves the needle.

[00:14:17] I don't think, you know, there were a whole bunch of people that didn't know who they were going to vote for.

[00:14:20] But it does it does indicate a certain preference.

[00:14:24] Now, I'm sure Google will come around and be like, oh, we didn't mean for that to happen.

[00:14:27] But all these mistakes, quote unquote mistakes, they always tend to go one direction.

[00:14:32] I hang on a second.

[00:14:33] OK, here's a message from Sean.

[00:14:37] Pete, love your show and you're doing better today.

[00:14:41] OK, thank you, I guess.

[00:14:45] Please give us a prediction on the election since you spent so much time discussing a distressed squirrel yesterday rather than all that's at stake today.

[00:14:56] It's another PD email.

[00:14:58] It's a programming director email.

[00:15:00] If you think the squirrel topic, which I covered in the first hour of yesterday's show.

[00:15:10] And then if I recall correctly, spent like the good bit of the rest of the program.

[00:15:15] So two other hours on the election stuff and I've spent all of today on the election.

[00:15:20] And I think I'm pretty sure I've spent a lot of time on the election in the last, I don't know, six months or so.

[00:15:26] But if you think that the squirrel story, peanut, the squirrel, if you think that's got nothing to do with the election, go back and listen to the hour again.

[00:15:35] Because it does have a lot to do with the election, because it's got a lot to do with the philosophy of government, the purpose of government, core functions of government.

[00:15:48] That's the first thing.

[00:15:49] The second thing is, here's my election prediction.

[00:15:53] It's going to come down to turnout.

[00:15:59] I don't make election predictions.

[00:16:02] I don't do it.

[00:16:04] They are valueless.

[00:16:06] Me telling you who I think is going to win doesn't matter.

[00:16:11] It doesn't matter.

[00:16:14] Seriously, like, why do you care what I think, what might happen in the future?

[00:16:19] So what?

[00:16:19] So for this one moment, you can think that, oh, okay, good.

[00:16:23] I feel better.

[00:16:24] That's it.

[00:16:25] That's the most that can happen from me telling you that I think your guy or gal is going to win.

[00:16:29] That's it.

[00:16:32] There's no point to it.

[00:16:34] Especially when you have the polling data that we're looking at that nobody knows what the hell is going to happen.

[00:16:40] Nobody knows.

[00:16:41] And these people draw paychecks for it.

[00:16:44] So I don't make these predictions.

[00:16:50] And there's a really good, I think it's called, I believe it was Michael Crichton, the guy who did Jurassic Park.

[00:16:58] He talked about this, about this predictive journalism trend.

[00:17:03] And here's a good example of it.

[00:17:10] When you watch Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, what do you see?

[00:17:16] You got one anchor or a host and you've got, you know, four or five people sitting around a table.

[00:17:23] And they're all just pontificating and making predictions about random things.

[00:17:27] Right?

[00:17:28] They're talking about a topic and they're talking about what could happen.

[00:17:32] I think this is what it's going to do to the election.

[00:17:33] Oh, and this could do this and it could do that.

[00:17:35] And I don't think that's going to happen.

[00:17:36] And then they argue.

[00:17:37] It's like arguing.

[00:17:38] It's like on the sports talk stations where people argue about whether one team could beat another team or could Superman beat Batman or whatever.

[00:17:46] And there's no value to it.

[00:17:49] It doesn't, it doesn't change anything.

[00:17:52] You, you making a prediction or me making a prediction doesn't actually change the outcome.

[00:17:59] So why, why devote any kind of energy for it?

[00:18:02] Well, because it's cheaper in the talking head model where you've got, you know, CNN with four people on a panel and they get to chat for, you know, three to four minutes per person per head.

[00:18:21] And they can pay, CNN can pay each of those talking heads 10 grand to come in and pontificate and make predictions and be wrong, by the way.

[00:18:30] And they don't lose their gig for being wrong.

[00:18:33] They won't get fired for being wrong because it's just predictions.

[00:18:37] Now, if you had a weatherman who was making predictions all the time and they were wrong all the time, they would get fired.

[00:18:42] Well, actually.

[00:18:44] Oh, I kid the weatherman.

[00:18:45] I kid.

[00:18:47] But, but it's cheaper for CNN to hire those talking heads to make predictions that matter nothing.

[00:18:54] That's cheaper than actually hiring reporters to go out and find the truth about what did happen.

[00:19:03] Because that's a look back.

[00:19:04] Find out what did happen.

[00:19:07] That's, that takes more money.

[00:19:09] And sometimes you may send somebody out to go cover a story and get all this information and then they come back and they, there's no story.

[00:19:15] They couldn't find the information or maybe the thing that you thought was the big story turned out to be the opposite.

[00:19:21] And so it's not a scandal.

[00:19:23] And then you've just wasted all of that time and effort and manpower hours.

[00:19:28] Woman power hour or person power hours, whatever.

[00:19:33] So that's why they've moved to these models.

[00:19:36] And they are of very limited value.

[00:19:40] Very limited value.

[00:19:46] Here's something though that, here's something that is predictive in nature, but it is based on past experience.

[00:19:55] Which is the constitutional amendment that's on the ballot today.

[00:20:00] And this gets to the allegations and skepticism about vote fraud, which is in North Carolina, we are being asked to approve a constitutional amendment that limits voting only to citizens.

[00:20:15] And the left has gone berserk on this because that's kind of what they do.

[00:20:20] I mean, I guess that's their gym.

[00:20:22] But why are they losing their minds over this?

[00:20:24] They're making this sound like this is some awful thing.

[00:20:28] Well, again, if you don't, if you don't want non-citizens to vote, illegal aliens, right?

[00:20:34] If you're, if you say no, if you believe that only citizens should vote, let me put it in the affirmative frame.

[00:20:41] If you only want citizens to vote, then this is a no brainer.

[00:20:44] You vote for the amendment, right?

[00:20:47] But if you kind of sort of would like to entertain the idea of maybe at some point allowing illegal aliens to vote in local races, state races or something else,

[00:20:57] well, then you would oppose this.

[00:20:59] And you would come up with any kind of explanation for why you're opposed to it.

[00:21:03] So you don't sound like you're saying I want to eventually have illegal aliens vote.

[00:21:08] But this constitutional amendment is only necessary because we have seen jurisdictions do this, Washington, D.C. being the most notable one.

[00:21:20] And so this is an effort to stop that kind of thing from happening in North Carolina by making it harder to change the law.

[00:21:27] Because once it's in the Constitution, now you have to amend the state constitution.

[00:21:31] And that is a harder thing to do.

[00:21:33] You have to take it to the people to vote on it just like they're doing right now.

[00:21:37] So that's the reason for the amendment.

[00:21:41] And when you have a party that stands up and says you shouldn't vote for this thing,

[00:21:46] which would provide a little bit more security against this thing that is happening across the country.

[00:21:56] Now I have to wonder why.

[00:21:59] Why do you not want this codified in the state constitution?

[00:22:03] Why do you want to preserve an easier avenue to allow for illegal aliens to vote?

[00:22:09] Why do you want that?

[00:22:11] And I am left with nothing except the assumption that you do.

[00:22:17] That you do want them to vote.

[00:22:19] So if you do want them to vote, then make that argument, right?

[00:22:24] Take the position and make that argument.

[00:22:26] I don't think you will win.

[00:22:27] And I suspect the fact that you don't want to stand up and make that argument is the reason why you're not,

[00:22:33] or the reason why you're not standing up and making the argument is because you are afraid that people will not agree with you.

[00:22:39] So you come up with all of these other explanations, or it's redundant, which it's not.

[00:22:43] You come up with other explanations, other excuses to try to distract from what I can only surmise is your real motivation,

[00:22:50] which is to leave the avenue available so you can actually do this at a local level.

[00:22:55] So you can have illegal aliens voting in our city elections to start.

[00:23:01] But nobody ever asks them that.

[00:23:03] Mm-hmm.

[00:23:04] Ernest.

[00:23:05] Hello, Ernest.

[00:23:06] Welcome to the program.

[00:23:07] Hello.

[00:23:08] Pete, thanks for taking my call.

[00:23:10] Paul, I wanted to ask you a question based on your experience in media.

[00:23:15] But let me preface that by saying recently we've had experience with the equal time provisions from the FCC

[00:23:25] that basically, I think, forced NBC to give Trump time on the NASCAR.

[00:23:32] We used to have a fairness doctrine, and I may be wrong upon this,

[00:23:36] but I understood that at some time during Reagan administration,

[00:23:41] the FCC, I believe, voluntarily ended that with some concerns about First Amendment rights.

[00:23:51] But to me, the fairness doctrine goes into making sure that the public does not have a distorted view of the news.

[00:24:00] And we've had many instances here where, you know, we have Democrat commissioners and directors saying,

[00:24:09] well, the border is under operational control,

[00:24:11] and they never show the rushing of the National Guard or the throngs of thousands and the thousands running across the river.

[00:24:20] And to me, the omission of showing the news has led directly to an uninformed public,

[00:24:32] particularly if you only watch legacy media.

[00:24:36] And I think that's one of the problems.

[00:24:38] Now, I know Donald Trump has a baked-in negative opinion among about half the electorate,

[00:24:44] but first, I wonder what you would think would be the current status of the public perception

[00:24:53] if, in fact, there had been a fairness doctrine

[00:24:56] where these legacy media were actually required to report what is happening.

[00:25:04] What do you, Ernest, think about, Ernest, hang on, I'm going to stop you.

[00:25:07] Think about what it is that you're actually advocating.

[00:25:10] You're wanting some government bureaucracy to tell media outlets how to report things.

[00:25:19] Do you think that that's not a corruptible system?

[00:25:24] Well, I would rather have an informed public peace.

[00:25:29] That's not possible.

[00:25:31] Well, then we're going to have to have something where the buildings are burning

[00:25:40] and they don't show that.

[00:25:44] I'm just asking...

[00:25:45] But you've seen it?

[00:25:46] The images got out.

[00:25:47] So what's happening right now is people are shifting the way that they are consuming media.

[00:25:52] They're not watching...

[00:25:53] I mean, was it the younger people, the 18- to 24-year-olds,

[00:25:57] they don't even own televisions anymore.

[00:25:59] They watch everything on screens, on their phones.

[00:26:02] And so, like, I am wholly against using government to dictate what people see in their, quote, news.

[00:26:14] There's no way that you contain that.

[00:26:17] It just becomes an organ of the government and then it becomes propaganda,

[00:26:21] if it isn't already at its inception.

[00:26:23] So, no, I'm not on board with that idea.

[00:26:25] It doesn't matter who, you know, what message I want to be promoted to the people

[00:26:30] to make them, quote, unquote, informed.

[00:26:32] Because you then have to decide, as a government bureaucrat,

[00:26:37] what is the thing that people should know?

[00:26:40] If you want that, go to NPR.

[00:26:43] And, by the way, when they covered the story about the constitutional amendment

[00:26:46] for non-citizen voting,

[00:26:48] they never mentioned the rationale behind it.

[00:26:51] Right?

[00:26:51] So, they kept their audience in the dark.

[00:26:55] And if they want to live like that, then I guess they can.

[00:26:58] I choose not to.

[00:26:59] Get your news from multiple sources.

[00:27:00] All right.

[00:27:01] That'll do it for this episode.

[00:27:02] Thank you so much for listening.

[00:27:04] I could not do the show without your support
