The Charlie Kirk Show
Episode: Election War Room LIVE with Jack Posobiec and Austin Smith
Date: November 20, 2020
Overview
This episode is a special "Election War Room" live edition, where Charlie Kirk is joined by Jack Posobiec (journalist and commentator), Austin Smith (Turning Point Action), and later Alex Marlowe (Breitbart) to dissect and analyze the Trump legal team's post-election claims about alleged voter fraud from the 2020 Presidential Election. The team discusses breaking news updates, shares lawsuits and affidavits, and alleges irregularities and fraud in multiple states, focusing predominantly on absentee ballots, mail-in voting, voting machines, and ballot-handling in elderly and disabled care facilities. The hosts adopt a highly combative, skeptical tone towards the mainstream media and state election officials, urging for investigations and legal recourse.
Key Discussion Points and Insights
1. Trump Legal Team Press Conference & Major Allegations
- Sidney Powell and Rudy Giuliani's Claims:
- Allegations of massive voter fraud, electronic manipulation via Dominion and Smartmatic, and thousands of sworn affidavits documenting irregularities ([02:44], [06:02], [12:07]).
- Notable quote:
“President Trump won by a landslide. We are going to prove it, and we are going to reclaim the United States of America.” – Sidney Powell ([02:44])
- Evidence cited includes specific instances of overvotes in Michigan and Wisconsin (some precincts reportedly over 100%, 200%, 300% turnout), and statistical anomalies:
“In Michigan and Wisconsin, we have overvotes in numerous precincts of 150%, 200% and 300%." – Rudy Giuliani ([06:02])
2. Mail-In Ballots & Signature Verification
- Concerns Over Lax Standards:
- The episode highlights the sharp drop in ballot rejection rates in Georgia when compared to previous years, attributing the drop to Democrat legal pressure and relaxed signature verification (i.e., “Stacey Abrams extorted the state of Georgia” – [19:35]).
- Notable data point: In previous years, Georgia rejected about 4% of absentee ballots, which dropped dramatically in 2020.
“If we just institute prior absentee ballot signature verification...we can win Georgia easily.” – Charlie Kirk ([24:43])
- The team argues this allowed invalid or fraudulent ballots to be counted.
3. Record Turnout Anomalies (Elderly and Nursing Homes)
- "Granny Farming" and Ballot Harvesting Allegations:
- Breaking local story: Whistleblower “Susan”, a disability service coordinator in Wisconsin, says many of her clients had ballots filled out for Biden without their knowledge or consent ([28:30]).
“This is the disintegration of Western civilization...Every single one of her [20] clients told her they were either pressured to vote for Democratic candidate Joe Biden or had a vote cast for Biden before they ever had a chance to see their ballot.” – Charlie Kirk ([28:30])
- Cites a 1,774% increase in 90+ voter registration in Pennsylvania, suggesting possible exploitation of the elderly ([29:16], [83:06]).
- "Granny farming" defined as targeting seniors for ballot collection and improper ballot assistance ([33:44]).
4. Role of Dominion, Smartmatic, and Voting Software
- Central Conspiracy Theory:
- Claims that voting machine/software companies enabled or programmed bulk vote switches via algorithms.
- Sidney Powell specifically points to Smartmatic’s founder admitting on video to “changing a million votes with no problem." ([14:16])
“We have evidence of different numbers of votes being injected into the system, the same identical, unique six digit number multiple times in at least two states...” – Sidney Powell ([12:07])
- Host alleges connections between voting system companies and the Venezuelan government.
5. Patterns, Statistical Outliers, and Down-ballot Results
- Inconsistencies in Election Outcomes:
- Hosts highlight supposed statistical red flags, such as Biden's margins in certain cities and counties compared to historical trends and down-ballot Republican successes ([36:15]).
- Dane County, Wisconsin: Biden received 260,000 votes, more than Obama’s highest with campus closed due to COVID-19 ([36:15]).
- States Republicans flipped or outperformed down ballot, arguing that presidential results diverge suspiciously.
6. Intimidation, Media Bias, and Legal Battles
- Wayne County Certification Drama:
- Jack Posobiec details the Wayne County (Detroit) Board of Canvassers, where Republican members were allegedly threatened and doxed when they initially refused to certify results due to “discrepancies” ([45:05]–[55:21]).
"We have sitting elected officials using intimidation, antifa tactics against...election officials." – Jack Posobiec ([45:17])
- Clips are played of Democrats berating and threatening the board members and their children on a Zoom call ([53:51], [54:33]).
- Calls for Republican Legal Action and Grassroots Participation:
- Kirk and guests repeatedly note a lack of robust Republican legal teams and volunteers at critical recounts and audits, urging listeners to get involved and keep up the fight ([57:50], [59:12]).
7. Georgia and Arizona – Audits, Recounts, and Runoffs
- Uncounted or Miscounted Ballots:
- Reviews specific incidents where ballots were found late (memory card/upload issues) in Georgia counties, almost all benefiting Trump ([27:09], [70:55]).
- Discussion about low turnout tendencies in runoffs and concerns about future voting integrity ([68:01]).
- Arizona Tight Margin and Lawsuits:
- Trump’s narrow 10,000-vote deficit in Arizona, with ongoing lawsuits and requests for signature audits in Maricopa County ([74:10]).
- “All Trump had to do was do half a point better in Maricopa County…just about 10,000, almost 11,000 votes where we were falling short.” – Charlie Kirk ([76:07])
8. Affidavits and Evidence Montage
- Examples from Affidavits:
- References are made to over 182 pages of sworn affidavits; specific cases include voters registered as non-citizens, felons voting illegally, and instructions for election workers to back-date ballots ([03:34], [09:35], [86:09]).
- Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell are frequently cited to reinforce the legal team's claims ([85:15]).
9. Media Critique and "Information Suppression" Allegations
- Multiple references to the mainstream media, including CNN, Washington Post, and the New York Times, characterizing them as ignoring, downplaying, or slandering the Trump team's claims ([38:45], [93:46]).
- Episode interspersed with host frustration at lack of coverage for “bombshells” talked about on the show ([38:44], [63:01], [97:31]).

Episode Tone & Flow
The language throughout is highly assertive, often combative, and deeply skeptical of mainstream media, state election authorities, and the Democratic Party. The hosts emphasize perceived urgency, corruption, and a call to activism, often invoking "rule of law," appeals to constitutional principles, and vague references to historical context (“this is the disintegration of Western civilization” - [28:30]).
There is a persistent sense of siege and crusade: “We are not getting worn down here.”
The conversation is laced with sarcasm, incredulity, and frequent direct appeals to the audience to get involved, support their legal efforts, and “spread the word.”
