So last Friday, the Arizona audit came out. We covered it extensively in great detail about what was in the audit and what it kind of showed. And so to re summarize it, for those of you that might not, that might not have tuned in or have seen it, there were 55,000 potentially illegally cast ballots that were administered in the 2020 election. Now, that is an estimate, as some of the ballots actually, the number's up to 57,000, so around 55,000 could be potentially more. And so the question now remains of what percentage of those ballots voted for Trump vs Biden? What percentage of those ballots? Can we find those ballots? Can we isolate those ballots? And so there's so many questions now that people have, which is, well, do we decertify the election? Do we support prioritizing, criminally prosecuting those people responsible? Let's start with that one. Yes. Arizona is now the front lines of the fight to secure our elections and find out what actually happened in the 2020 election. Thanks to several leaders in the Arizona House of Representatives and the Arizona Senate, we are seeing finally the results of the Arizona audit come out. The Arizona legislature stepped up, and I have to say they stepped up rather heroically to actually execute this audit and find out to what extent was Arizona's election conducted illegally? And so the way that the activist media has been portraying the Arizona audit was as if it was only a recount, when in reality it was an audit. As we said multiple times before on this program, a recount is simply putting the ballots again in one pile or the other, Trump ballots in one pile, Biden ballots in another, whereas an audit is going into that pile and, and finding out whether or not those ballots were administered legally, whether or not they followed the law and how they were processed. What we know is that in Arizona, there were tens of thousands of ballots that were potentially counted that should never have been counted. The audit presentation was compelling. And if you want to listen to the entire audit presentation, take out your phone, open up the podcast app. Charlie Kirk show the audio version only is on our Charlie Kirk show podcast feed, where we have the entire unedited Arizona Senate hearing of the Maricopa county audit three hours long. Now, mind you, this is just Maricopa County. This does not count. Coconino County. This does not count. Pima County. This does not count. The more Democrat counties, even more Democrat than Maricopa. By the way, what started as a grassroots effort to try and find out what happened in the 2020 election now has the Democrats and the national media regime completely and totally on defense. Because we have now found that anywhere between 57,000 or more ballots that were counted were from people that moved, were from out of state, from dead or deceased voters. So some people, one of my friends who's a liberal, sent me this note. They said, well, the media says that the audit shows that Biden got more votes than Trump. That should be. The fact that the audit said that should give you a complete foundation and welcome news that the other side will not be able to invalidate the findings of the audit. This is not a recount. It is a forensic audit. The goal of the audit is to count all of the legal votes. It shows that there was integrity in this audit, not just simply recounting the ballots in what pile they're supposed to go into. Let's go to cut 20. Newsmax summarized that as the following, that there were 17,000 duplicate ballots which surged after election day. 23,000 mail ins cast from people who no longer lived at that address. Off the bat of the hearing Yesterday, you had 17,000 duplicate ballots that were identified, the majority of which, many of which came in after Election day. You had 17,000. That's more than the margin of the so called victory for Joe Biden right there. Of course, we also had 23,000 mail in ballots that were cast, even though the person that they were cast in the name of no longer lived at that address. So the question is, who actually voted them? Those are phantom votes. The goal of an audit is to distinguish between legal and illegal votes. 25% of all of the ballots that came in that were illegal came in after November 4th. And by the way, that clip was Liz Harrington on Newsmax right before President Donald Trump's pretty extraordinary rally in Georgia with the wonderful Herschel Walker. Let's go to cut nine of President Trump discussing these results. Play tape. As a result of the Arizona forensic audit, 41 legislators from across the nation wrote an open letter to the American people calling for audits in all 50 states and decertification of the election where appropriate. A total decertification. It is clear in Arizona that they must decertify the election. You heard the numbers. And those responsible for wrongdoing must be held accountable. And so now all of the decisions of how to proceed is on one man. And that man is someone who's been terrific on the vaccine mandates. And he's someone that has quite honestly been very good on pressuring Arizona State University for the anti American institution that they have become, and that is the Attorney General of Arizona, Mark Bernovich. Bernovich is running for the United States Senate and he knows that this is the number one issue for Republican primary Voters and for conservative voters in Arizona. So if he wants to have a political future as US Senator, this would be a really good issue to kind of attach yourself to. Cut 22, the audit sound. I want to get to what, what American News Network is, but I have to kind of finish that point, which is Mark Bernovich can now criminally go after every single person who broke the law in counting the votes and administering the votes. This is just a small snippet of sound from the audit itself. Play cut 22. Let's talk a little bit about log management here. So there is a federal statute that requires the preservation of election related materials for 22 months after the date of the election. That applies not only to paper, but that also applies to digital artifacts. Maricopa county failed to preserve the operating system security logs to cover the dates of the election. And so there's a federal statute that shows that you must preserve all election related materials for 22 months. And maricopa county failed to preserve the operating system logs to cover the dates of the election. They broke federal law and they also broke state law. These just so some of the ballots, pure blanks that are being approved. One voter sent in three copies and got two of them approved. Play cut 23. So approved. So you see the duplicate and here it's being stamped. Nothing on here it's being approved. Duplicate one, duplicate two. This one is being approved. And again, all of these came in after November 4th. Same here. Another duplicate being approved and a blank. Here's another 1 example 3, 2 duplicates, the blank being approved. Same here, fourth example. And there are many others. But these are pure blanks and they're being approved. In fact, this is a three copy duplicates where two are approved. So one voter sent in three copies and two got approved. Send in three copies and two got approved. The Arizona audit has revealed an illegally conducted election. To what extent that remains to be seen. And people need to go to jail for what they did. Look, it's back to school time and you might be feeling the burden of college bills and private tuition expenses. With home equity at an all time high and interest rates low, refinancing your house could be a great way to get some cash and pay those bills. So look, if you want to refinance your house or do anything with a bank, let's just say timeout. We're going to call a timeout. Two minute warning, right? Hands on the shoulders. We're going to just kind of say, let's take a pause here. Are you using a bank that hates your values. It's a very simple question. Are you using a bank that is at war with your worldview? Well, if you have refinanced recently with a big bank, you have just given a check, a cashier's check, a wire transfer to Nikole, Hannah Jones, to Stacey Abrams, to Joe Biden, to Chuck Schumer, to Nancy Pelosi. You see, when you refinance with the big boys, the banks of the Wokesters, you might as well give your hard earned money to the revolutionaries that are burning down our streets. You might as well give it to Planned Parenthood. But if you want to support the good guys, two Christian men that I've got to know very well, they love the Lord. They love the Bible. They are great people. We just hung out in Dallas and we had the best time. We had a great meal together. They're terrific. Andrew Del Rey and Todd avakian@andrewandtod.com they are with Sierra Pacific Mortgage and I know them and trust them and you should work with them too. Just go to andrewandtod.com and take the 32nd survey to answer a couple questions. But look, maybe you're a calling person like Charlie. I didn't take enough surveys. Fine, test me. Call 888-8-1172 and say I would like to talk to Andrew and Todd. Charlie Kirk sent me. That's triple. 8881172 andrewandtod.com andrewandtod.com no more Goldman Sachs. No more JPMorgan Chase. No more Wells Fargo. No more financing or refinancing with the banks that hate your values. Again, I hate to be this tribal about it. They hate you. Go to people that love you@AndrewAndTodd.com they love the Lord. They love the country. Let's support them@AndrewAndTod.com as the audit has come out and shows that well over 57,000 ballots were illegally counted. And so some people are saying that it's high noon in Arizona. The Arizona attorney general Mark Bernovich is quote, if we don't stand up now and protect the constitution and rule of law will never get it back. And I agree. Our friend Christina Bob from One American News network has been keeping notes on the audit. Here's a good summation. Over 100,000 man hours were put into processing 2.1 million ballots by hand. Each ballot went through an examination under a high quality DLSR camera along with microscopic images of the fronts and backs of the ballots completed so far. Hand counting of all federal races. Image and microscope capture of each ballot, review and comparison of official results and the analysis of the voter rolls. We are soon expecting the review of splunk logs and routers and final paper examination report. Here are some of the findings. The canvas showed more than 3,400 more ballots were casted than were recorded. We also found that over 9,000 more mail in ballots were received and recorded than the official number of mail in ballots sent out by the county. 9,000 more mail in ballots Precincts show more ballots casted on Election Day than people who showed up to vote. 1,551 extra votes Approximately 2,500 ballots were shown in the early vote returns that do not have a voter listed as casting them. Over 255,000 early votes shown in the county's final vote file that do not have a corresponding entry in the early voting returns file. Over 23,000 voted by mail after moving after the October 5 cutoff. 2,382 voters casted votes in Maricopa county in person after moving out of the county. Over 2,000 people who moved out of Arizona during the 29 days before the election were given a full ballot instead of a presidential only ballot. Close to 300 deceased voters potentially votered voted. And there are there's an unprecedented number of discrepancies in the vote total. This could only happen through malicious action or severe incompetence from the Maricopa county officials. Too many discrepancies to declare an outright winner of Arizona's electoral votes. And so it's very obvious that at this point, why was Arizona ever certified? The Maricopa county has come out and said that the tabulation equipment was never connected to the Internet and that Cotton's claims were misleading. One of the machines that the auditor cited was connected to the Internet because its server was for the Recorder's office. The county tweeted this is not the election system. We shouldn't have to explain this. So Maricopa county is digging in further. So in the same statement they say that it wasn't connected to the Internet. But then they say it was connected to the Internet and they say it's not the election system. We shouldn't have to explain this. That doesn't make any sense. There is a special session coming up in January for the Arizona Legislature. You can believe that this is all going to come up and thankfully Arizona is able to reform elections and find out what's happening and the federal government is nowhere to be seen. Do you now see why the Biden regime wanted to interfere with with federal agents to try to stop the Arizona audit. Do you see why they wanted to criminalize the Arizona audit? Because these findings all of a sudden put into jeopardy whatever mandate they thought they had. Maybe the President didn't win Arizona, meaning Biden. Maybe the Biden regime didn't actually get more votes than Donald Trump. Maybe this entire process was administered illegally. To what extent, we don't know. We'll find out. Thankfully, the founding fathers and our framers allowed the grassroots and all of us to regain our sovereignty, allowed us to be able to reclaim our citizen government and allowed us to be able to have transparency, accountability, checks and balances, separation of powers. This is now the time for us to keep the pressure on, for us to go full speed. We now have a credible audit report that took 100,000 man hours. They say that 55,000 votes in an election that was determined by 10,000 statewide in just one county were probably administered illegally and given illegally. People need to go in jail. Go to jail. States have plenary powers. It's time to indict the co conspirators that oversaw an illegal election. Did you know that if you shop at Nike, they turn around and give your hard earned dollars to pro abortion groups like Planned Parenthood and the Population Council? Sinister folks. By the way, did you know that Airbnb gave $500,000 to the Marxist BLM Incorporated organization? Your first vote is at the ballot box. But that isn't enough to defend our traditional Judeo Christian values. Left wing corporations are subverting our nation and our republic by taking money from conservative customers and giving it to radical organizations that support abortion, gun control and critical race theory.

Today in Israel, vaccinated individuals had 27 times higher risk of symptomatic COVID infection compared to those with natural immunity from prior Covid disease. There's a new study out that is really getting circulated. It's actually a couple weeks old. I haven't seen it though. Comparing SARS, CoV2 Natural immunity to vaccine induced immunity, reinfections versus breakthrough infections. The study is quite stunning that a new study published by it split people into three groups. Fully vaccinated individuals may be at greater risk of COVID than those unvaccinated. According to this massive study, people who had taken both doses of Pfizer jab are 13 times more likely to have a breakthrough infection and are even at grassly greater risk for COVID 19 hospitalizations. The vaccinated individuals were found to have had a 27 times higher risk of symptomatic COVID infection compared to those with natural immunity from prior Covid disease. Now you're not even allowed to mention natural immunity when we talk about all of this. And so of course our leaders are so dishonest. And our media, the propagandists, they never ask the obvious questions, which is, hey, how are the really poor countries doing with COVID How are the countries with less than desirable health care now? Maybe you remember, maybe you don't. Back in late May, there was a massive Fauci virus surge in India. Huge daily cases that were making international news. Whatever happened to India? Well, in Uttar Pradesh, and we've covered this before, do you know that Uttar Pradesh has now reached zero Covid? How many of you would like to have zero Covid right now in America? How did they do that? How did a poor country of India in Core part of India. How did they reach zero Covid? How is that possible? Well, as we've mentioned, they heavily prescribe ivermectin. They heavily administer ivermectin as a prophylactic and as a treatment. And now they are at zero Covid in Uttar Pradesh. You guys can check out the data yourself. And by the way, Uttar Pradesh is only 5% vaccinated. So they get down to zero Covid despite being 5% vaccinated. Here's a really obvious question. Is the vaccine keeping the virus spreading? That's a very simple question. How is it that India. I want one person in our public health department in America to answer this question. How is it that Uttar Pradesh, where they have people without toilets and sanitation, they've reached zero Covid. 5% vaccinated. How is that possible? No mask mandates, no massive mandates. No mask mandates, no Covid mandates. Nothing. Zero Covid. And cut 25. Dr. Leanna Wen says we are nowhere near getting rid of masks in school until everyone is vaccinated as regular testing. This is woman used to run Planned Parenthood. Now, meanwhile, the poor countries like Uganda and India, they're turning the corner on Covid, uttar Pradesh, at zero Covid. Dr. Leanna Wen says we're nowhere near getting rid of masks. Play tape. But I would say that let's say a school where it is or a particular class, everybody is vaccinated in that class. And also the level of community transmission is declining. I could imagine that situation being where we remove masks because we have all these other layers, or if we have rapid testing. Imagine if every child and teacher were tested every morning and also they're vaccinated. You can imagine that situation, even if there's high levels of community spread, that maybe you can remove masks at that time. But we are nowhere near that yet. These people must think that we don't have international news on cnn, which their thing is international news, and yet you cannot find a single reference in the New York Times, despite their obsession with the German elections, in any major paper, Wall Street Journal, or anywhere like, hey, how is it possible? Like, let's just plug a timeout. How is it possible that India, in Uttar Pradesh, the very, very poor part of India, massive province. How did they turn the corner? They're at zero Covid. This is according to Google's own data, by the way. You guys could check it out. You can go to Google's own data. They have ivermectin as a Sunday pill, as a parasite prevention all throughout Africa and also now in India, and they're at zero. That's right. Zero. Covid. Singapore's health ministry reported 1,504 new COVID 19 cases on Thursday, the highest since the beginning of the pandemic. With 82% of the population fully vaccinated against the virus, the country has had one of the longest ongoing mask mandates in the world. So Singapore, which did mass vaccinations, Israel, that did mask vaccinations and boosters. Covid is staying alive in these countries. Yet Uttar Pradesh, where they have millions of people without running water, they're laughing at us. And as we've said many times on this program, what countries have the lowest rates of COVID in the world? The African countries. Why? Because anti malarials are generously prescribed and taken all throughout Africa. And now let's segue into the obvious part of this. And can we get the tape of the Pfizer CEO or Moderna CEO or whatever? Let's just talk. Let's just be honest. Let's stop fooling ourselves. It's cut 14. I'll say it in a second. Let's just. I'm gonna be blunt with you. No more asking questions. These very sinister people, they do not want to have happen what happened in Uttar Pradesh because no one gets rich in Uttar Pradesh because everyone's poor. Instead, the people that run these countries, these companies, are so dishonestly propagandizing you to go get more vaccines, to go get massively inoculated. I want one person in the media to please explain why poor countries that generously prescribe anti malarials are doing so much better than countries that massively inoculate and vaccinate their citizens. Well, now the Pfizer CEO says, oh, yeah, we can get back to normal as long as you keep taking your shots. Meanwhile, billions of dollars are set to be made off of the booster shots. So we keep on minting new billionaires off of vaccines that don't even work. By the way, the best argument you could make for the vaccine is, is that it's a treatment, not a vaccine, that it might lower your likelihood of hospitalization. That is the best case argument. And even that argument is questionable. If you've already had natural immunity, that argument is questionable. Billions more in profits, I'm reading from Breitbart.com from the Associated Press, are at stake for some vaccine makers as the US marches towards dispensing COVID 19 boosters to shore up American treatments. This is all about making money, everybody. It's the same reason why Northrop Grumman and Lockheed Martin, they want to go bomb villages in Iraq because it makes them money. The industrial war complex as well as the medical industrial complex. Play tape. I agree that within a year I think we will be able to come back to normal life. I don't think that this means that variants will not be continued coming. And I don't think that this means that we should be able to live our lives without having immune. Without having vaccinations, basically. And I think the most likely scenario is annual revaccinations. But I can't understand half of what he just said. But basically he's saying I'm gonna make a bunch of money off of you and your children while you stay under social control. It's basically all I got. Dwight D. Eisenhower was one of the great American presidents and he warned about people like him. Albert Boulla is his name or Bourla kind of sounds like he's got a French accent or actually kind of Israeli, I don't know. He says normal life will return within years and adds that we may need annual Covid shots. You know where they don't need annual Covid shots? In India, Uganda, countries that don't have the very basic medicine that we have. Ivermectin is really cheap, everybody. It's widespread. Hydroxychloroquine is very cheap and it's widespread. The companies that run our country, the oligarchy, they are salivating at the chance to keep you perpetually addicted to these treatments. And Dwight D. Eisenhower tried to warn us about an unelected administrative scientific elite of people that engage in the cult of science and progress while smashing you. He warned about a military industrial complex and a lot of people know that. But what people don't know is that Eisenhower warned us about a unelected scientific elite. Play tape. Yet in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific technological elite. This clip is so profound. Dwight D. Eisenhower, former head of the Allied forces, won World War II. Kansas boy, served two terms as U.S. president. Some of the most decisive presidential elections in American history. One decisively in 1952 and 1956. Warned about the military industrial complex. Oversaw the massive domestic boom in the 1950s. One of the greatest presidents in American history. That gets almost no credit for it because he was non ideological and very patriotic there he says we must of course understand the benefits of science, but we must have caution against a scientific and administrative elite. I want to play that tape again, Connor. It's so phenomenal. Let's play it again. I want you to listen carefully and closely and just think to yourself. Fauci, Pfizer, Birx Dwight D. Eisenhower knew that we should not be governed by generals or unelected scientists. Playtape. Yet in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific technological elite. Scientific and technological elite. That sounds like Google and Pfizer to me. Wise men like Churchill and Eisenhower saw all of this coming. Churchill did warn against how if we do not make efforts to control science, science will control us. The Pfizer CEO sold $5.6 million in stock the day he announced the promising vaccine news. We used to have laws against this stuff. People used to go to jail for it. Now what do we do? We go buy their vaccines. Despite the fact there's more Covid than ever before. You know who's laughing at us? The people without toilets are laughing at us because they have zero. Covid. Have you heard of shrinkflation? Shrinkflation is where your candy bar or your burger gets smaller but the price stays the same. Have you noticed this? It's happening all the time, everywhere. But the government still insists that inflation is under control. Shrinkflation is just inflation's evil cousin. Noble Gold is ahead of the game here. With the precious metal IRA under your belt, you'll hedge these rising prices and plan to retire without worrying about it. So keep up with the inflation that folks in Washington are trying to hide. And to thank you, Noble Gold is giving you a free at 5 ounce solid silver America the Beautiful bullion coin with every qualifying IRA or 401k rollover. Visit noblegoldinvestments.com or call 877-646-5347 noblegold investments.com Want to briefly get to the government shutdown? Charlie Kirk here. Welcome back. Because it seems as if there is a government shutdown looming. I want to get to some tape on this. Let's go to cut 15. Bernie Sanders. These two bills, the bipartisan infrastructure bill and the reconciliation bill are marching down the path together. It would be a terrible thing for the American people if both. And you'll see cut 15. These two bills, the bipartisan infrastructure bill and the reconciliation bill are marching down the path together. Mr. Manchin, I know worked very hard on the bipartisan bill. It would be a terrible thing for the American people if both of those bills Failed. They are linked together. They're gonna go forward together. Now, look, part of me feels sorry for Bernie because he had the nomination stolen from him twice. But honestly, he's a very dishonest person and he's a revolutionary. And so I really don't care that he's had it stolen from him twice. Vermont's a wacky place, by the way. Let me just say there's some lot of friends I have in Vermont. It is a wacky place. Cut 16 Jake Tapper. He asks the chair of the House Progressive Committee Caucus, Representative Jayapal. This woman is nuts. If she is planning on take tanking the bipartisan infrastructure package. This is a good primer on the entire debate which is also happening within the left. Cut 16. So that's all the stuff that's in the Build Back Better act. What, what we're calling the reconciliation bill. That's. And our point is just we're ready to vote for both. We are excited to vote for both and we will vote for both. But we need to actually get the reconciliation bill done. That was what we said three and a half months ago, Jake. And so, you know, our belief is that we'll get there. We're very close, but it has to. We have to get to that reconciliation bill first. I know this is a lot of in the weeds, but here's the essence of it. Democrats are trying everything they have to spend $5 trillion quickly, even even though all the money from the previous bills haven't been spent. They are trying to pass slush fund after slush fund to expand the administrative state despite inflation, despite the fact that cost of goods are going up now. The administrative state is a characteristic of the progressives, really authored by Woodrow Wilson, implemented under this idea that we need to embrace the science of administration that the desk workers or the bureaucrats. That's where the word bureaucrat comes from in French. The desk people that they are the ones that need to run the government. Did you know that in 2016 there were 1.35 million executive agency employees? Now they are 1.4 million disclosed employees. And it's only going to get better. And that bigger that does not include Department of Defense and USPS. Did you know there are 532,784 employees that made $100,000 plus in the 122 executive agencies from 406,960 employees. This is from OpenTheBooks.com, adam and Gieski's terrific work. Not to mention that if you work for the government. You get 44 days of paid time off on average for bureaucrats employed in the executive agencies, 11 holidays, 13 sick days and 20 vacation days. The estimated taxpayer subsidy to this benefit is $22 billion annually. And that is just a beginning of what the machine in D.C. has become. The fourth branch of government, the administrative state, the bureaucracies that are now basically the same as the massive corporations. The essence is this. Democrats, despite inflation, they want to do everything possibly can to strengthen the machine that is the unelected branch of government. They want to strengthen the machine of the irs, of the epa, of every single one of the agencies that many of you do not even know. Their goal, their incentive structure is not to create assets, it is to create liabilities to make your life more difficult. That is what the Democrats are trying to do. To pass $5 trillion to create a permanent industrial complex which already exists, but to strengthen it, that can crush your life and be loyal and obedient to the Democrat Party.
