All right, let's check out some of the hot topics that we're following right here on Ringside. Another historic peace deal for President Trump. Another tremendous accomplishment, bringing an end to the war in Gaza, the hostages coming home. Israeli soldiers pulling back the chance for long lasting peace and a long lasting end to this war. Obviously, Hamas could break this agreement at any time. It's a terrorist group. But it seems like President Trump has been able to put together regional leaders, put together enough pressure to be able to force them to agree to this. Also put pressure on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to agree to this. And together, only President Trump could have accomplished this. So major, major achievements. The peacemaker of the world is President Trump. Now his beautiful wife, wonderful first lady Melania. Trump is also making big news, working at an agreement with Vladimir Putin to return Ukrainian children taken in the war with Russia back to their families. This is a tremendous achievement for the first lady and she's not stopping here. Eight children have been reunited with their families. She sent a letter earlier to Vladimir Putin on this issue. He responded positively. There have been back channel discussions and on Friday, she announced this major breakthrough. So this is tremendous, another great accomplishment of the first lady and President Trump and this administration. Now with all of these positive stories, all this peace, you would think the Nobel Peace Prize would have been a no brainer going to President Trump. But of course, it didn't. Once again, this time it did go to a freedom fighter in Venezuela who's been fighting against the Maduro dictatorship. And she received the award and dedicated it to President Trump who is trying to bring about the end of that dictatorship down there in Venezuela taking more action than any other president. Again, he's taking more action than the other president to achieve peace. More action than any other president to topple dictatorships, to bring about freedom, to help people in distress, even in our own cities here in this country. That's why he's trying to bring peace to America, to end the violence here in America. So this Nobel Peace Prize, of course, is a joke. They gave it to Yasser Arafat, they gave it to Al Gore, and they gave it to Barack Obama for literally walking into the White House doing absolutely nothing. And he got a Nobel Peace Prize. So it's. We should start our own. The Reagan Prize. The Reagan Prize of Freedom. He didn't get the Nobel Peace Prize either, even though he freed hundreds of millions of people from the grips of the Soviet Union from the evil empire. Of course, they didn't give it to him, but they gave it to a terrorist. Amazing. Yasser Arafat. All right, the president gonna be getting tough with China. Gonna be imposing 100% tariff on Chinese goods. Doesn't like how they are trying to use their control over rare earth minerals. Doesn't like their attitude to try to blackmail the rest of the world. He's canceled a meeting with President Xi, and now it looks like we're going to be possibly going into a trade war with China. What I hope he also Cancels are the 600,000 student visas that he announced where these Chinese quote, unquote students would be coming here. And we know they're not students, folks. We know they're spies. Anybody coming from a communist country into this country is not going to be coming just to study, all right? That's not how it works in a communist country. Also here in Washington, the battle goes on with the Schumer shutdown. Now, some are reporting that Schumer is going to keep this government closed until after the no Kings rally on October 18th. That Schumer is very afraid of the far left and his party, very afraid of AOC and her possibly challenging him in the next Senate race. So he's trying to placate these radicals, and he doesn't want to give up on this and bring the government back into business before this radical rally, this no Kings protest. We'll see. Democrat candidates are embarrassing themselves all over the country. In California, this wacko, Katie Porter, lost it during an interview where she started yelling at the reporter, asking her very sensible questions, and then videos of her coming out yelling at staff members. She poured scalding hot water on the top of the head of her ex husband. It seems like this lady, quote, unquote lady has a problem with her temper, a problem with her anger. And then in Virginia, you had a gubernatorial candidate there can't even ask her ask answer a basic question that was asked about transgender sports or a basic question about the attorney general candidate in Virginia who sent texts calling for the murder of colleagues and the murder of a Republican House speaker's family. And this gubernatorial candidate in Virginia couldn't even condemn that, wouldn't even walk back her endorsement. Another Democrat politician in trouble. Letitia James, the attorney general of New York who spent her career going after President Trump improperly prosecuting him, has now been indicted for mortgage fraud in the great state of Virginia. And she could be in a whole lot of trouble. First Comey, now Letitia James. I expect more indictments coming. And finally, the left has been engaged in political violence now for way too long. And now you have lunatics trying to harm conservative commentators. You know, we had Charlie Kirk assassinated. Then threats were made to conservative commentator Benny Johnson. It was reported to the doj. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced that the lunatic had been arrested making the threats against Benny Johnson and his family. And thankfully that person has been stopped. But we need to be very vigilant of these kind of individuals across the country motivated by this left wing hate. All right, Jeff, career with you. More ringside politics coming your way right here on Real America's Voice. We'll be right back. Hey, we're back. And our first guest today is someone we've had to play pleasure of interviewing before. She did great work for President Trump. His former attorney has an incredible background, served our country and now is an author. The book is Defiant Inside the Mar a Lago Raid and the left's Ongoing Lawfare. But that's certainly the case. Christina. Bob is joining us here on the Ringside Politics program. Christina, how are you? Welcome. Great.
- [14:08]
Christina Bob
Thank you so much for having me.
- [14:10]
Jeff Crewair
Yeah, thank you for joining us. So we've, we just talked about earlier in the opening segment about Letitia James being indicted earlier. Of course FBI Director James Comey would be indicted. Do you see more of these players who are orchestrating the, the lawfare and the abuse and the targeting of President Trump being indicted in the days ahead? Christina.
- [14:33]
Christina Bob
100%, yes. I think it's imperative that we do so. The radical left abuse of our justice system, they've all demonstrated that they are not willing to stop coming after us, coming after normal Americans. I'm still facing criminal charges myself. I still am A criminal defendant as we speak, along with, I don't know, about 50 other people throughout Arizona, Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan's case was dismissed recently. Georgia's case is on the verge of being dismissed. But these cases are still open. They're still coming after Americans, and they're not going to stop until they are stopped. And the only way that the law provides to stop them is through criminal prosecution. So, yes, I think it's imperative that Donald Trump continue to allow this to go forward through the Department of Justice, and I expect to see more to come.
- [15:24]
Jeff Crewair
So I'm just wondering, now that President Trump has been in office for nine months and, you know, you have a new attorney general and supposedly new people involved with, why hasn't all of this been dropped? Why haven't all of the ridiculous cases against Trump loyalists been dropped? What's the delay here, Christina?
- [15:44]
Christina Bob
The delay is the left doesn't want to drop anything. They only dropped the cases that they're required to drop, which are the ones against Donald Trump himself. The federal case against Donald Trump. That's the only Donald Trump. And the two people that were indicted along with him in the Mar A Lago case, they were also dismissed. That whole case was dismissed. But everybody else, they're still coming after us. They still wanted to hold the January 6th protesters in prison knowing that those convictions were manufactured. And I explained how they manufactured those trials in defiant. President Trump did the forward for it. I explained why it was important that he did a pardon for everybody because they had so abused the justice system that the convictions were not even lawful. The convictions were not just. And so they still, they want to destroy the lives of conservatives, to make conservative views unappealing. They want you to associate conservative views with people who go to prison. And obviously that's not the American way. And so Donald Trump is doing what he can to set that right.
- [16:53]
Jeff Crewair
Let's talk about some of these things. 1 January 6th, I'm still angry about how those people were treated.
- [17:00]
Garland Favorito
Yep.
- [17:00]
Jeff Crewair
Still angry about the abuse of these people, thrown in jail without a trial for years. The fact that you had all these infiltrators from the the police and antifa and the FBI, and we were lied to about it by Christopher Wray. Hundreds of FBI agents were involved in this. You know, I saw a video of Capitol Police just letting people come in. Those people wound up getting charged. Have there ever been an abuse like that ever in American history?
- [17:30]
Christina Bob
Not to my knowledge. Certainly not anything that was so public and certainly not anything that was tied to going after the president. Himself. The president had never been charged like that. So I'm not aware of an abuse like that. Although having gone through this, I suspect that there are a lot of abuses in our justice system that we hadn't really been paying attention to because they weren't making the media. So I think there needs to be a strong look, a strong consideration, investigation into the Department of Justice, into our criminal justice system, to try to make some of these corrections, because going after political opponents is not a valid reason to open a criminal case. And yet they were so brazen to do that against Donald Trump and those of us that supported him that it just makes you go, well, it couldn't have been the first time if they were comfortable in doing it. It had to have happened before. So, you know, I don't. I don't know. I don't know if it's would be, but it's just so brazen.
- [18:30]
Jeff Crewair
And now the left is, like, complaining that President Trump's going after his critics and, and, you know, making the US Attorney put charges on his various critics. So now the media is all upset. Of course, they were cheerleading when you and others supporting President Trump were targeted, like about J6. Just for another second, Christina, The. The mystery of the pipe bomber, that doesn't all add up to me. I think we've been lied to about that. There's still videos that need to be released. You know, he had the sham committee that the Democrats led. I mean, hopefully there's going to be another committee that's going to rectify everything and get the truth out there. Are we going to get the truth about this, you think?
- [19:13]
Christina Bob
I hope so. I mean, I think our nation needs it in order to sort of survive in the way that we have traditionally talked about freedom. I think if we don't get truth, I think it's going to be very, very hard to trust anything that comes out of the government, because everything is going as it appears now. I mean, you see it all over social media. Nobody trusts what's going on. Nobody trusts what authorities are telling us, which creates a very dangerous situation, because if nobody believes what's going on, people come up with their own ideas, they come up with their own theories about what's actually happening, which may or may not be true. And so it's so important in order for us to move forward in a good direction for true progress, for true prosperity, we have to know what's actually happening.
- [20:01]
Jeff Crewair
And then in our final minute or so, the Mar A Lago raid. I mean, unbelievable. Again, unprecedented targeting a President Were they really trying to find the Crossfire Hurricane documents? Was that what the whole purpose of this was? Not classified materials? Was that why this was authorized? And again, unprecedented. So intrusive going into the first lady's bedroom closet, the first son's bedroom. I mean, just unbelievable.
- [20:35]
Christina Bob
Yeah, it's certainly plausible. I don't believe that it would have been the sole reason. I think they were looking for anything that they could use to try to take down Donald Trump, his associates. You know, they thought, oh, if we can just get into Mar? A Lago, then we'll be able to prove Trump's a criminal, we'll be able to throw him in jail, we'll be able to end the MAGA movement, we'll be able to end this opposition to tyranny. Obviously, that failed. They didn't find anything. I give you all the text messages, the emails, everything about it's in the book approved by President Trump. And you can make up your own mind what you think they were doing there, but it certainly wasn't justice. They were not there for true reasons.
- [21:14]
Jeff Crewair
What happened to all the video surveillance of this raid? Was that confiscated?
- [21:22]
Christina Bob
I don't know. I mean, that's in the hands of the Trump Organization and probably DOJ or the FBI at this point. But I doubt that would be released for security reasons because it shows private areas within their residence.
- [21:32]
Jeff Crewair
Right, right.
- [21:34]
Christina Bob
But, yeah, but there was video footage.
- [21:37]
Jeff Crewair
Okay, well, Christina, thank you for documenting it. Thank you for standing up for President Trump. Thank you for your great. For presenting this to us with this great book and joining us today in the Ringside Politics program. We appreciate it very much, Christina. Bob with us today. All right, let's share with you some of these clips we've got for you today. The race in Virginia is tightening up, and Winsome Sears, of course, Lieutenant Governor, the. The candidate of choice, the Republican, got to go with her. Right. Because the Democrat candidate won't denounce someone who called for murder and seems to be fine with transgender men competing against girls. Let's check out clip number one.
- [22:22]
Various Political Figures (clips)
So we know that biological men are larger in strength than women. We understand this. This is biology. If you look at football teams, you can see the difference between males and females. This is not hard. And that's why I'm asking my opponent, you, if your little girl comes home and said she was forced to undress in a locker room with a biological boy, what would you say? She's crying. What would you say?
- [22:51]
Christina Bob
Would you.
- [22:52]
Various Political Figures (clips)
Are you not going to answer?
- [22:54]
Jeff Crewair
She wouldn't even look at her. Now Democrats are being asked, I mean, are you okay with a attorney general candidate staying in the race who called for the murder of a Republican House speaker and his family and urinating on their graves? Are you okay with this kind of candidate? Should this kind of candidate be in the race? And Democrats refused to call for him to withdraw. Let's check out clip number two.
- [23:23]
Mark Mix
One of the questions, though, that was asked, and it is an important one.
- [23:27]
Jeff Crewair
To a lot of people, is the.
- [23:29]
Mark Mix
Issue of Jay Jones.
- [23:30]
Various Political Figures (clips)
Do you think that he should end his candidacy?
- [23:36]
Unnamed Political Commentator
Look, Republicans want us to concede. Virginia law would make it. If he dropped out, then we would be conceding the election to Jason Mears. That's not going to happen. We got to continue the election. The voters have already begun voting and casting their ballots. What we need to be continuing to focus on is that these two ladies last night, it's not about them. I mean, we have a historic election here in the Commonwealth of Virginia, the first time ever that a woman will become governor of Virginia. The two women had the spotlight last night. And we all we want to do is talk about these two men. So we need to continue to focus on those two ladies that are out there, that are out there working hard, trying to earn the vote. And Abigail Spamberger, I believe, has done.
- [24:13]
Jeff Crewair
Quite the diversion tactic. That's just so pathetic. And finally in this segment, let's share one more video. This is another loser Democrat candidate for governor, someone who's got a hot temper, doesn't like to be interviewed, doesn't like to be asked follow up questions. Let's check out this Katie Porter character. Let's go to clip number three.
- [24:36]
Various Political Figures (clips)
I'm running for governor because I'm a leader. Get out of my shot because I'm a leader. Bernard, I need you to turn these off. These that are killing me. Yes, yes. We should have. Yes. Okay, everybody. I'm not that dark. I'm running for governor because I'm a leader. You're this allegation of groomer and pedophile, it is alleging that a person is criminal somehow and engaged in criminal acts merely because of their identity, their sexual orientation, their gender identity. I'm a leader. So on election night, I went to pick up my daughter from water polo practice and she's 12. And she got in the car and she was crying. And I said, did someone punch you? Water polo is a rough sport. I was like, did someone hit you? Did the coach yell at you? What happened? And she said, mom, Trump won. Trump's gonna win. And what if I get raped and I need to have an abortion? This is from a 12 year old. I'm running for governor because I'm a leader. I don't want to keep doing this. I'm calling.
- [25:45]
Jeff Crewair
Unbelievable. All right, a lot more to get to as we roll on. Keep it right here. It's Ringside Politics on Real America's Voice. Jeff career with you. We'll be right back. Welcome back, folks. Our next guest, we've had the pleasure of visiting with him on radio and tv. He's got a very popular program. He's an author of many books, including Fauci's fiction. Very successful career, has been a not only a contributor to the media and of course author, but also a law enforcement officer and advanced degrees in multiple disciplines. You see them all over the airwaves. Very glad to welcome Dr. Michael Schwartz to us right here on the Ringside Politics program. And Mike, how are you, sir? Welcome.
- [26:38]
Dr. Michael Schwartz
I'm great, Jeff. Thanks to. Good to see you again.
- [26:41]
Jeff Crewair
Yeah, thanks for being with us. So much happening in the world. Wanted to get your thoughts a little bit about this Nobel Peace Prize that once again eluded President Trump. Is it time to start our own prize? I mean, it just seems like this committee, while I think the woman that they recognize is very, you know, has done tremendous things in her life as well, I just don't know of anyone that's contributed to world peace more than Donald Trump.
- [27:12]
Dr. Michael Schwartz
Sure. We're at number eight now. I mean, that's what Donald Trump was saying yesterday, number eight. I mean, if we be number nine, if we can get this Russia, Ukraine situation solved and we don't want to take anything away from her. And of course, the, you know, the deadline I think was January 31st to get the nominations in for this. But look, maybe he'll get it next year. But the people in Davos are very happy. The committeeman on that person, I think the chairman of that committee said something about the folks that get this or traditionally have integrity. Those are the words I'm paraphrasing, of course. And that was a little bit, I don't know if that was a dig on Donald Trump or not, but the world community doesn't really seem to care. I think he deserves it. I think most conservatives think he deserves it. And I think anybody with a brain and 2 cents in this country looking at what he's done just in the last couple months thinks that he would be the right choice for that.
- [27:58]
Jeff Crewair
You know, I don't know anybody in the history of the Ward, who's been nominated by thousands of Cambodian monks, nominated by multiple countries, nominated by hostage family members in Israel, praised by people for, like Vladimir Putin and Benjamin Netanyahu. I mean, just unprecedented solving, as you said, eight, nine wars. Anyway, it's just, to me, infuriating. Another left wing entity, you know, part of, and I looked at part of their awards that they've given out in the past. Yasser Arafat got the Nobel Peace Prize, Al Gore got the Nobel Peace Prize, and for walking into the White House, Barack Obama got the Nobel Peace Prize for doing absolutely nothing.
- [28:41]
Dr. Michael Schwartz
Yeah, Barack got one for breathing, basically. You know, and you could see this in the. Like I said, the folks in Davos are very happy. They're kind of laughing at this whole thing. I thought it was nice that the woman called Trump and dedicated to him. That's probably a surefire way to get an invite to the Oval Office, just say, hey, you know. But even somebody who got it like her recognizes that Donald Trump is doing amazing things to get what we're doing right now in Gaza. I mean, all the people on the left are saying, oh, well, it's just a ceasefire, it's not a peace deal. It doesn't look like that from the folks celebrating all throughout the world.
- [29:13]
Jeff Crewair
Let's just examine where we were when he took office. I mean, the wars were raging, you know, the border was open, the country was flat on its back, the economy was terrible. You know, in nine months, we've, we've turned everything around. We've got a secure border, we've got the economy doing better, got this peace deal that's been arranged, other peace deals all over the world. Military recruitment is through the roof. It's just an amazing record in this second term. Would you agree, Mike?
- [29:43]
Dr. Michael Schwartz
I think it's, he's the best president I've ever seen in my lifetime. And when you study history and look at just the things we're getting done, there's always going to be pushback. You're never going to agree with somebody 100%. I even hear conservatives once in a while go, I don't know, that kind of crosses the line. Why are we sending in troops here? And there I go, what have we done before? You know, the same old, same old status quo for the last 250 years, or at least since 1913 is what got us here in the first place. It's nice to see a president with cojones for once actually getting stuff done.
- [30:16]
Jeff Crewair
You know, there always are going to be issues. I mean, nobody agrees with everyone 100% of the time. Right. I mean, there's some things I can nitpick about that I'm not exactly super fond of that he's done. I'm just looking at the overall record has been so impressive and such a contrast. I think we've gone from the worst president ever, the auto pen president, to the best president ever. Yet I'm looking at the polls, Mike, and his approval numbers are supposedly still in the 40s. There's still Democrats saying that they're going to win the midterms and take control of the Congress. Do you think that is possible?
- [30:50]
Dr. Michael Schwartz
Anything's possible, Jeff. But I mean, like for the folks that are in the middle that are wondering, you know, that pendulum always swings back. People, people always push back whoever's in power. But I mean, think about what the alternative is. If you're upset with one or two specific issues, it doesn't mean you're supposed to put, you know, give up 90% of your values, 90% of your principles, and vote the other side. We are cleaning up Washington. I was just there. I was just in D.C. and I was saying on my show, Jeff, I could wave a lot of cash around if I wanted to. In the air right now, there's so much security in D.C. everyone's out to dinner. It just feels safe for the first time, like I said in my lifetime. And you look at doing that in other cities right now, the economy's doing well. Trump just came out the other day and said gas prices are going to be below $2 a gallon soon. Some work we're doing in the energy sector. There's a lot of good stuff happening in this administration. What did we get with Sleepy Joe? Besides, like you said, the auto pen. He slept on a beach for almost three years out of his four year term. We have a president now who doesn't even sleep because he wants to fix this country.
- [31:52]
Jeff Crewair
And then he unleashed his DOJ to go after Trump supporters, J6 protesters, those in the MAGA movement. I mean, it was atrocious, the abuse that was conducted by his Department of Justice. And, you know, I think it was just a terrible, terrible four years for our country. But you're right, we've got safety in our big cities. I was just in New York though, and it's a city with lots of homeless, lots of problems. Last time I was in D.C. was a few years ago and there were homeless everywhere. Can't wait to go back like you just did and enjoy a city that is safe. I'd like it down here. In our city of New Orleans where we've got a host of problems and left wing mayor, doesn't it seem like whenever there's a left wing Democrat mayor, it just brings about horrible problems because their policies are terrible?
- [32:40]
Dr. Michael Schwartz
Well, that and the fact that they want to push back against everything good that we want to try to do, you know, if it's coming from a red governor, if it's coming from Trump, just want to do the opposite. And the opposite doesn't work. I mean, Pastor's Prologue People should know that by now. I mean, what, what would make you. I live close to New York City and I try not to go into New York City on purpose. I go there maybe once a year to see the tree and maybe once again maybe to see a Yankee game. That's it. When you see how much crime and the tolls, the traffic, the nonsense, you know, when you look at this stuff in totality, how could you not want to clean up your city? I think it's amazing what we're doing. I think we got to keep going. And for the detractors that say this is a little bit overreach, what's the alternative?
- [33:25]
Jeff Crewair
Yeah, the alternative is what we saw during the four years of the Biden administration and that was disaster. Dr. Michael Schwartz, thank you so much for all your work and thank you so much for being with us today. Great contributions. All right, another person that is working hard and does a great job, he's president of the National Right to Work Committee. He's joining us next. Mark Mix is with us right now. And Mark, how are you, sir? Welcome, Jeff.
- [33:52]
Mark Mix
I'm doing fine. Good to see you again and good to be with you. Lots of things have happened since the last time we talked.
- [33:59]
Jeff Crewair
So what's the latest with the National Right to Work act that was introduced by Senator Rand Paul. What's going on with that?
- [34:07]
Mark Mix
Yeah, well, we're up to about 130, 530, I think, 135 co sponsors on the bill, House and Senate. The bill. There was a hearing on Wednesday of this past week and the issue came up because we were talking about a, quote, labor law reform bill introduced by Josh Hawley that would give union officials, amazingly enough, more power over workers, which is really frustrating. But they talked about the right to work law. They talked about how this is the most simple labor law reform you can make. And it's a one page bill, Jeff, doesn't add a single word to federal law, simply changes the bias in federal law from compulsion to volunteerism. That's it real simple, not hard. We'll keep pushing it, hopefully get a vote on it in the US Senate. We'll see.
- [34:49]
Jeff Crewair
What do you make of this shutdown? What's that going to do as far as, you know, federal workers go? I know that there's some legal maneuverings going on. There's something happening with Columbia grads that's a graduate Researchers Against Discrimination. They're, they're hitting the, the UAW union with the federal label. Labor board charges that issue as well. So update us on those things, Mark, if you could.
- [35:20]
Mark Mix
Yeah, well, interesting enough, Jeff, the ironic thing is the union officials here that represent federal employees are out protesting saying, you know, bring open up the government. Open up the government. When in fact, if the union officials that are out there protesting saying, you know, this has got to end. If they would just talk to their colleagues in the Senate and the House, particularly the Senate, and say, hey, open up the government, the Democrats would switch and open up the government. But there's a political power play in place. And really, despite all the rhetoric, it's a really simple issue when it comes to how we as taxpayers are going to deal with this. I mean, what they're asking is a continuing resolution that maintains the Joe Biden era spending to keep the government open until the appropriation process can work. And frankly, Jeff, as you know better than most, the appropriation process here hasn't worked for 20 years. We haven't done regular order when it comes to funding the government. So these continuing resolutions are the way they do that. It's going to start getting tough. We're getting into two weeks of this. But remember, the unions have filed 40 lawsuits against President Trump that are pending right now in various cases across the country, San Francisco venues where they have favorable judges that are trying to stop him from reforming the federal government. I don't know if anyone believes that the federal government is operating perfectly, that it's the right size, it's doing the right things and is spending the right amount of money. I don't believe that. I don't think most Americans believe that. And certainly this fight is over how the president controls the federal bureaucracy. I mean, he issued an executive order back in March, Jeff, that basically said we're going to basically take over the federal government. We're going to run it like we should be able to, as opposed to having to talk to a private organization that is a labor union to determine how the federal government will operate. I think the president's onto something. I think the American people support that. Getting back to the other issue of the graduate students at Columbia, the foundation has been really busy when it comes to, believe it or not, Jeff, these graduate students looking to get their higher degree or their postgraduate degree have to pay unions in order to finish their education. The United Auto Workers represents a large number of college graduate students across the country. The United Electrical Workers Union represents graduate students across the country. These are not graduate students that are studying electrical engineering. They're studying lots of different things. But yet they've got to listen to the electrical engineers union. And, Jeff, the real issue there is how these unions are fomenting unrest on the college campuses. When it comes to the Israel issue, the boycott, divest, sanction, the, you know, from the river to the sea, those things are important. And we're helping those students get relief from being forced to pay for a union that's talking about taking away their culture, their religion, and obviously their state.
- [37:59]
Jeff Crewair
Well, and it's such a worthwhile fight, and I'm so glad you're engaged in it. Just to let people know, the National Right to Work Committee is a coalition of 2.8 million workers, concerned Americans fighting to break the chains of forced unionism. In our final 30 seconds or so, Mark, give us an overview of where we are across the country as far as right to work states and states that we're hoping will become right to work states.
- [38:23]
Mark Mix
Yeah, Jeff, as I was watching your show, leading in the race in Virginia for governor is really important. Abigail Spanberger has voted twice to repeal not only Virginia's right to work law, but Louisiana's right to work law and the 24 other states that have right to work on the books. She won't come clean about where she feels about how she feels about Virginia's right to work law. She says we can noodle a little bit. You know, we can force them to pay something, just not everything, and that will be great. So Virginia is a defensive battle. We got a lot at stake coming up in November. Obviously, the rest of the states across the country are doing well. We're trying to push in New Hampshire, Montana, Colorado, other states to pass right to work. We'll keep fighting, and I know you'll keep talking about it and bringing it up, and I appreciate that.
- [39:01]
Jeff Crewair
Well, and then what about Missouri? That's a red state. Shouldn't that be a right to work state?
- [39:06]
Mark Mix
Well, we're trying. We've been close to the goal line a couple of times, and we just can't get there. It's not easy. Jeff, as you know, this is a big money big deal for organized labor. They're a 30 billion dollar a year business. A lot of that revenue comes from workers that would lose their jobs if they didn't pay. And so it's a big deal and we'll keep fighting for it.
- [39:26]
Jeff Crewair
Keep up the great work. Mark Minx with us right here on the Ringside Politics program. So we talked earlier about what happened with Benny Johnson. And here's an example. A crazed leftist arrested for ripping down a Trump banner. Guy just goes crazy, rips down a Trump banner, then shoots a gun outside of his sunroof. Check out clip number four.
- [39:48]
Podcast Announcer
Accused of ripping down a Trump banner at a western North Carolina business and then shooting at the owner. Take a look at your screen here. This is Benjamin Campbell is from Atlanta, was arrested in Cobb County, Georgia. He's being held there waiting to be extradited back to North Carolina. Campbell faces multiple charges including felony assault with a deadly weapon. Now, the entire encounter was caught on camera. We brought this to you weeks ago here on FOX Carolina News. You can see a man park at the business, then go across the street and tear down the Trump banner off of a sign. This is from last month at the paddle in Rafting Co. In Swain County, North Carolina. The owner told Fox Carolina that he saw this happening live and went outside and fired his rifle twice in the air. Then as the man drove off, video shows him raising his gun out of the sunroof of the car. See that there attempt say the suspect, Benjamin Campbell is the man with the gun that you see in this video.
- [40:43]
Jeff Crewair
Amazing. Glad he was arrested. There are a lot of lunatics out there, folks, and they need to be captured before they hurt someone. All right. A lot to get to right here on the Ringside Politics program. Jeff Crier with you. We'll be right back.
- [41:04]
Mark Mix
Ringside Politics we report the news to you up front.
- [41:08]
Jeff Crewair
Ringside Politics Politics with the flight. Ringside Politics analysis made crystal clear. Ringside Politics with your host Jeff Crewair. Big news this week as far as electronic voting machines. And we want to bring on our expert, Garland Favorito. He is a co founder of voterga.org joining us from Atlanta, Georgia. And Garland, how are you, sir? Welcome.
- [41:45]
Garland Favorito
Great, Jeff. Good to be back with you.
- [41:49]
Jeff Crewair
All right. Great to have you. So all right. We heard big news. Dominion Voting machines have now been voting systems now been sold. And one report I read, whereas a Republican that is going to be buying it, they're going to rename it Liberty Vote. Fill us in, Garland.
- [42:09]
Garland Favorito
Well, that's right. Scott Leyendecker is the purchaser. What that article may not have told you was that he is the founder of Noaker, which is a poll book vendor that integrates pretty tightly with Dominion. And this will be probably even a more tighter integration in the future, which is good for it, but not necessarily good for voters because we need more compartmentalized voting for security. I guess the big question that I think everybody would like to know is how much did he pay for Dominion? Dominion was supposed to be a $50 million company. They allegedly got $787 million in a settlement from Fox News. I don't think that Scott has that kind of money. I don't think he's a billionaire. But I could be wrong and I'd love to know exactly the price he paid for that. My guess is he got it for pretty much a bargain basement rate because Dominion has got so many issues with foreign ownership, foreign programming and foreign chips that. So I think they've got going to really have a lot of trouble meeting President Trump's executive order, particularly with their QR code vote tabulation system. So lots of questions.
- [43:43]
Jeff Crewair
Lots of questions. They were involved in lots of lawsuits. They seem to be getting, you know, lots of monetary damages that were paid to them. And I would have thought that they would have sold for a hefty price, but you're telling me it was a bargain basement price. So it just raises so many questions about this whole thing. Here in Louisiana, we have Dominion voting machines. We've got the Secretary of State, as you know, pushing to try to buy new voting machines. Dominion was one of the companies that made a presentation down here, and I'm trying to connect that with the President's executive order saying we need to move toward paper ballots. How are we moving toward paper ballots if we keep pushing electronic voting machines?
- [44:29]
Garland Favorito
Garland, what a great question. He's also been advocating for hand counting. So we don't really need to spend one or $200 million on voting systems, particularly when we're finding out that these systems are in fact connected to the Internet and have been accessed during live elections like happened here in Georgia and as well in Michigan. And of course, that's all based on court expert witness testimony and evidence that came out in discovery in the Dominion v. Byrne case. So you raise a great question. Why do we want to just spend hundreds of millions of more dollars when you can simply eliminate all that cost and all the time and everything that goes with it, maintenance, logistics, testing, so on, by just simply hand marking the ballot and hand counting it, just like you do in school for any type of scholastic aptitude test.
- [45:33]
Jeff Crewair
Are we moving toward that in other states? We're moving in the opposite direction here in Louisiana. But are other states embracing what the president is calling for? Garland?
- [45:44]
Garland Favorito
Well, I mean, it's on a right now it's more on a county by county basis. I think that the states are not going to embrace it unless the federal government forces the issue because it is a national security issue. Jeff, as you know, and this is something that, you know, more and more evidence is coming out almost on a weekly basis on foreign influence into our elections. Tulsi Gabbard mentioned that in the April 10 cabinet meeting and then again later in the subsequent meeting. So the question is how are we going to resolve this election security crisis? And I don't think it's going to be by spending another couple hundred million dollars on elections voting equipment so that we can conduct secretly counter elections on secret proprietary software and then secretly preserve the battles. That's just more insanity. So I think we need a better solution.
- [46:47]
Jeff Crewair
Jeff and Garland, we're running out of time because we've got midterm elections that are right around the corner. So we got 30 seconds left. Are we going to be able to get this resolved by the midterm elections?
- [47:00]
Garland Favorito
Well, they can if they start by, let's say, Thanksgiving at the latest. We implemented an entire unverifiable voting system from a bunch of disparate Systems back in 2002 in six months flat. That was a complex system that nobody knew anything about. So it would certainly be easier to go back to hamout paper ballots and hand counting within that same six month time frame so we can get it done if the states or the federal government act, let's say, between now and Thanksgiving.
- [47:33]
Jeff Crewair
Carlin, I can't thank you enough for the great work you're doing and we appreciate your time today. We'll of course stay in touch with you as we get closer and try to deal with this issue which is so important. All right, we have one more video clip to share with you here today. This is President Trump having fun at the expense of Democrats. Let's check out clip number six.

Jeff Crewair
There you go. This is the president of the United States during a government shutdown. All right, let's check out our memes of the week. First one was from Susan in California. I like this one. Prison is a perfect place for leftists. Think about it. Everyone is treated equally. Free food, free health care. No one has guns except the guards. No cars and no gas. Good one, Susan. Stefan in California has the next one and that's crying Democrats. Very good, Stefan. And the last one, Robert, in in Virginia. And there we go. The last government shutdown was four years. Now our great team in Denver has one to share with us right now. And so there you go. All right.
- [49:47]
Dr. Michael Schwartz
Very good.
- [49:48]
Jeff Crewair
All right, Big thank you to our team in Denver, to all of you for joining us. We'll see you next time for another edition of Ringside Politics right here on Real America's Voice. This is an I Heart podcast.
