How many years have I been telling you about relief factor? A lot. Truth is I know millions of people. In fact, some people say over 100 million people are struggling with some kind of pain maybe from exercise or just getting older. Now, Pete and Seth Talbot, they are on a mission. You rarely see this kind of focus and commitment. They recently shared with me that they are doubling down and want to literally double their total number of happy customers in the next year. And I believe they'll do it. So here's the deal. Go to relieffactor.com that's relieffactor.com or call 800 500, 8384. People ask me, tell me why relief factor is so successful in lowering or eliminating pain. I'm often asked that question. So maybe you want to be able to do cartwheels or be able to do backflips like producer Andrew. Maybe you want to be able to run a marathon, swim underwater, go scuba diving, jump out of an airplane.

Hello everybody.

Really important topic that we want to cover. We get a lot of questions about this. What's going on with the audit? What's going on with the audit? What's going on with the audit? Well, first I want to cover a story that happened last week which goes to show how worried and how paranoid the federal government has become around states taking elections into their own hands. Now, isn't it interesting that the Democrats or the people that run the federal government, they never get in the way when states relax their own voting laws? For example, when California allowed mail in balloting, the federal government said, well, that's a states rights issue. When Oregon went to universal mail in balloting, they said, well, that's a states rights issue. When Colorado went to near mail in universal balloting, they said, well, that's a states rights issue. When illegals now can vote in municipal elections in California and they're trying to get that done in Vermont, they say, well, that's a states rights issue. When all of a sudden cities like Portland and Seattle, Chicago and New York, they want to disobey federal immigration law, the federal government says, well, that's a states rights issue. When Colorado wants to legalize marijuana or crystals or whatever kind of mushrooms I guess Denver wanted to do, I guess they did that recently, they say that's a states rights issue even though it's against federal law. You could argue that it shouldn't be. But it is. But the moment that the 48th state in the union decides to check the process of how their own elections were conducted, the federal government threatens to go full Little Rock nine on them, threatens to go full federal force against them. Why? Politico.com last week, and we were so busy last week covering so many stories, but this just as applicable today as it was a couple days ago. Department of Justice Fires Warning shot against Unusual post election Ballot Reviews the Justice Department new memo reminded states that allowing ballots to be mishandled can violate federal law. Now let me stop. Nowhere does it say audits are against federal law. They're saying that if you don't do the audit correctly, it could be against federal law. This feels like federal intimidation. And you see this is so, it's so hypocritical, it's so contradictory. But it's so typical of the Democrat Party and the American left and the collectivists, which is they're all for states rights and the 10th amendment if it fits their socially degenerate aims, if it fits their relaxed voting measures that they want. But the moment that a state wants to use states rights to try to ensure election integrity, they are going to use the federal government to try to intimidate them and intervene at any means possible. I'm reading from Josh Gernstein and Zach Montrello's article. The Justice Department on Wednesday issued another warning aimed at states conducting or considering audits of ballots tallied in last year's election, reminding election authorities that allowing ballots to be mishandled can violate federal law. While the Biden administration's guidance document carries no formal legal weight and may not strike fear into local officials, the Justice Department used the release of the legal analysis to press their campaign of saber rattling against Republican led audits of the 2020 vote in Arizona and other states, as well as voting changes many Republican states are pursuing as part of anti fraud efforts. It's part of a seven page review and it says this, this document puts down a marker that says the Justice Department is concerned about this. Now wait a second. The Justice Department is concerned about the handling of ballots? Is the Justice Department concerned that there were 72,000 more mail in ballots that were sent into Arizona than were actually sent out? If they're upset about the handling of ballots, are they concerned about the alleged and evident and very, seems to be very clear multiple ballots being run through machines in Georgia? Are they concerned about all of a sudden someone finding a box of ballots underneath a table in Mercedes Benz arena in downtown Atlanta? Are they worried about ballots being mishandled by the Postal Service, which, thanks to Project Veritas and James o', Keefe, we know that. Are they worried about the whistleblower that came forward that just suddenly disappeared, according to local Milwaukee News, where there were people going to old people's homes against their will and filling out ballots for Joe Biden? Are they worried about ballot misuse or ballot malfeasance of the Nevada Native Vote Project that illegally traded goods and services in cash flow for filled out ballots for Joe Biden? These are things that we just know, by the way, and we're hardly a criminal investigative unit here. These are just things that we see on the on social media. Election audits are seemingly rare, the Justice Department says, and they're concerned that some jurisdictions conducting them may be using or proposing to use procedures that risk violating the Civil Rights Act. Bunch of garbage. They're not common enough. We should be auditing every single election, every single year a nonprofit of scalable size such as Turning Point USA or a church goes through an audit where you bring in an accounting firm and they go and give you a clean bill of financial or fiscal health. It's very normal. Why don't we audit all of our elections, especially when voting? Poll places are changing. When you have many issues with ballot custody, mail and ballot malfeasance, why is it that the federal government and Joe Biden are now sending in the federales to interrupt what the states are allowed to do constitutionally? So let me just read this one part of the Constitution. It's incredibly important. Article 1, Section 4, Clause 1, the time, places and manner of holding elections for senators and representatives shall be prescribed in each state by the legislature thereof. But the Congress may at any time by law make or alter such regulations, except as to the places or choosing of senators. They have plenary powers, everybody. They have exclusive powers. And understand Arizona is not just auditing the federal election. Arizona is not just auditing the congressional election. Arizona is auditing the mayor elections. They're auditing the state representative elections. The federal government has no jurisdiction over any of that, except if the federal government thinks that a ballot that was involved in a federal election was issued fraudulently or against the law in the state. So why is it that all of a sudden, according to politico.com they are marching in. The DOJ says we cannot comment on any investigation that might be going on. They say, quote, we didn't want any sort of jurisdictions or jurisdictions think that we should have some safe harbor to say because we ran our Voting system this way before the pandemic, we're able to go back to that way. Racially discriminatory policy, the Justice Department suit against Georgia. And we'll get into Georgia in a second because we're doing a comprehensive audit here. And again, I want to just reemphasize this point. This is not just about federal elections. This is about state elections as well. This is not just about Trump. It's about the entire process that you give power for people to be able to govern our society. That's a big deal. So the federal government, they wanted to audit the 2016 election. Not this way. But remember when you had article after article after article after article that said be aware of hacked machines, how to hack an election in seven minutes or less. That's POLITICO's own article. Yet when they get a political outcome, they like, all of a sudden they don't want to do audits any longer. Here's a rational case for why these audits have to continue. Here's a reasonable case. And let me be very clear. Any conservative that does not mention election integrity regularly is avoiding one of the biggest issue that issues that has happened in our country. And they are seeking convenience and comfort. They are seeking corporate approval than the truth. Election integrity is the biggest issue when it comes to actually the process of allocating political power in this country. Here's the rational case In Georgia in 2016, we'll get the exact numbers in the next segment. They had approximately 238,000 mail in ballots with very strict signature requirements. In 2020, they had well over 1.2 million mail in ballots with relaxed signature requirements due to a consent decree that was signed with Brian Kemp without anyone knowing. We know that multiple ballots were run through the machines in Georgia. And now the federal government is getting very worried. The pronouncement says where election records leave control of election officials, the system for maintaining the security integrity and chain of custody, those records can easily be broken. They're just making that up. What they're really doing is the DOJ is threatening criminal action if you look too far into what happened in the 2020 election. Which is exactly why the audits must continue. Did you ever read the fine print that appears when you start browsing in incognito mode?

That's E X P R e s s vpn.com charlie to learn more I just want to recap what we already know from the Arizona audit. According to Senator Warren Peterson and just one Senate testimony that we did stream live and we're going to stream more of them. We know that thousands of duplicate ballots, that serial numbers were sent in with the wrong ballot boxes. We know that Maricopa county was supposed to use vote secure paper that should not bleed through, but instead the ballots show that there was bleed through which could we don't know if it did cancel the ballots. There were 3,981 votes that were registered to vote in violation of an Arizona Supreme Court ruling issued prior to the election. We know that 11,326 votes were counted even though these voters were not on the Voter rolls on November 7th. Interestingly, that's almost exactly the margin of what Joe Biden was declared the winner by. Interestingly, almost. Almost to the number over. We know that according to the Arizona audit, over 74,000 votes more mail in ballots were received and counted than were mailed out. And we know that based on system forensics, there is no way that the county can certify this election to be safe. Now that word safe is rather arbitrary and subjective, but that's just what we know so far. So Andrew, what is the latest with this kind of struggle of subpoenas? What is going on here as we give our listeners in Arizona Election Audit update?
- [16:00]
B
Well, the main update is that the there is there's been this drama around routers and there's been a drama obviously around the Dominion voting machines which you really frankly don't even need to go into. They've asked for the data from the voting machines. They've asked for the data from the routers. They've subpoenaed both, and both are being denied. They're being flouted. So they're not complying. Which is kind of shocking, actually. I mean, this headline out of Breitbart, I think says it best. Arizona Republican State Legislatures push back against Defiant Maricopa County's refusal to cooperate with subpoenas. Now, you know, you and I were discussing this in the break. It's like, you know, a lot of people might assume that Maricopa county, the County Board of Supervisors, is a Democratic board. Actually, it's Republican 4 to 1. But if you know anything about Republican politics in the state of Arizona, you've still got a lot of carryover of these, like, flake Republicans, these McCain Republicans. Anyways, it's the Board of Supervisors. Maricopa County Board of Supervisors is not complying with the subpoenas for the routers. Now, their excuse is that they say that we've complied, we've given you everything, that you need to conduct your phony audit or whatever, and that this is somehow really important to the functioning of the state and of the county. And you can't have the routers. Right now, the auditors are saying that there is a massive amount of data that will be contained on those routers. We need them to conduct the audit. They probably are going to slow walk this until the report comes out is what I'm hearing, though.

A
And so State Senator Borrelli is asking Attorney General Burnovich, who is running for the US Senate, this would be a way for him to get some points on the board in the U.S. senate race, to be perfectly honest.
- [17:48]
B
Yep.
- [17:48]
A
Correct. To punish the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors for refusing to turn over these routers. Now, we don't know what this, you know, what's behind the routers. But what I will do in the next segment, and Andrew sent this this morning in our show prep, and it's so amazing. And all of you, we are gonna post this article on charliekirk.com every time the mainstream media told us elections could be hacked. We're gonna go through all of the articles. And I'm not talking about some fringe blog. I'm talking about Politico. I'm talking about the Guardian. And it was how elections are not secure. And then we go from that to all of a sudden being told that it's the most secure election in American history. Now, I also want to say this, though, is that certain states have more secure elections than others. I do trust the way that Iowa does their elections. If you go through Iowa, they do not have no excuse mail in balloting. They require voter ID and signature verification. When you send in ballots, they purge their voter rolls the same in Florida. So not every single state is equally, you know, complicit with this or corrupt. So the attorney general's office run by Mark Burnovich has 30 days to issue a finding about whether the county violated state law. They're saying, we don't want to give you the servers, we don't want to give you these. And I just want to give a short shout out for those of you listening on our podcast. I want to give a shout out for all of you that have kept the pressure on this issue. Thank you. We are a listener supported show. We are a listener focused show. The more questions that we get when you email us freedomarliekirk.com the more that you want us to focus on these issues. It doesn't just help us, it helps the state legislatures, it helps the state representatives, it helps the state senators. Stay on it. I often talk about the crushing debt and lack of jobs that come with the broken college system in our country and how entering a trade or vocational school can provide great career opportunities where you are and skills will always be in demand. I want to talk to you about a friend of mine, a great American who runs an organization called the American Institute of Non Destructive Testing. Maybe you're looking for a career. Maybe you just graduated high school. Maybe you are not really sure what you want to do with your life. Well, the American Institute of Non Destructive Testing is a place where you can get a skill in six months. And 93% of the people that go through this training get jobs with wages of $50,000 and can earn to 70 or $80,000 a year. And you might say, what is it? Well, it's trainingndt.com that's trainingndt.com to learn how you can have an opportunity to work in industries such as aerospace, oil, gas, nuclear and alternative energy as a technician performing critical inspections that make our world a safer place. So non destructive testing is where you are inspecting America's critical infrastructure. Let me tell you why this is important. It's recession proof. Even if the economy goes down, things we already have need to get inspected. Critical infrastructure needs to be looked at. Rocket ships need to be looked at. Nuclear plants need to be looked at. And guess what? The people going into non destructive testing needs to go up because so many people are retiring. There's a huge opportunity out there for you. Their program consists of six months online education followed by three weeks at the American Institute campus, using state of the art inspection equipment such as ultrasonics, capturing X rays and producing magnetic fields to inspect critical components to ensure their safety and reliability.

There's something happening, maybe there isn't where the media is covering all this up. Andrew, what are your thoughts on this?
- [28:48]
B
Well, it's funny that you mentioned the Atlanta Journal Constitution. I've been looking over Merrick Garland and the DOJ's lawsuit that they've filed against the state of Georgia for their election integrity bills that they were passed and that Governor Kemp signed into law. And I just want to make one small observation. The writing is terrible. It's, it's just these are poorly written articles. This is the paper of record in the state of Georgia, by the way. This is, this is not some podunk newspaper. But it's just, it's, it's bad, it's poorly cited. They don't actually reference a lot of things that they in detail. They sort of brush over a lot of the details. Anyways. That's, it's sort of an aside, but nevertheless, it's, it's fairly embarrassing for them. So, so my thoughts are that these Democrats in the media, these activist journalists, were actually betting on the fact that Donald Trump was going to win the election in 2020. So what they were doing is they were building a case that they could look back and say, see, we got hacked again. We got hacked again. First, it was the Russians in 2016. And Russia, Russia, Russia. And guess what? We got hacked again. Look at how susceptible and how, you know, they were very excited to basically say the institutions of America are falling apart. It's all awful when they thought their guy was going to lose. And then what happened? Covid? Drop boxes, Zuckerbucks. We've got mail in balloting and we've got governors and other elected officials going against their own state constitutions to change the laws under the COVID of darkness. That's what we have. And so everything flipped. They won, you know, in air quotes, no offense. And. And now they don't want it. They want to bury these articles. I'm surprised that most of them are still clickable, like you can actually go look at them. Some of them have been archived, but nevertheless.

A
And so the head of the Arizona Maricopa. Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, Jack Sellers, very arrogant and condescending person. Quite honestly, Dear senators, it is now August of 2021. The election of November 2020 is over. If you haven't figured it out yet, the election of Maricopa county was free and fair and accurate. Yet I'm not sure you ever will. The reason you haven't finished your audit is because you hired people who have no experience and little understanding of how professional elections are run. Hold on, jack sellers. Taking two weeks to count ballots, changing voting locations and 72,000 more mail in ballots received than sent out is how professional elections are run in Nicaragua. Okay? That's, that's how they run them in the third world when you have like provisional governments after the CIA topples a dictator. That's how you run elections. The board has real work to do and little time to entertain this adventure and never never land. Please finish whatever it is you are doing and release whatever it is you're going to release. Oh, you mean there might be something to release? I'm confident that our staff and volunteers ran the election as prescribed by federal and state law. There was no fraud. There wasn't an injection of ballots from Asia, nor was there a satellite that beamed votes into our election equipment. It's time for all elected officials to tell the truth and stop and gate encouraging conspiracies. Release your report and time to move on. Well, Jack Sellers, why is it that then you then refuse to hand over the routers if it was so clean? Show us how clean it was. You know, when you win a championship, sports championship, you techn you sometimes, if you did it right, you want to have all the footage you possibly can Shown to the world. You want to show the world how great you were. You want to show the celebration. You want to show how phenomenal it was. But if there was something wrong, a call that was missed, someone that cheated, a holding call that wasn't done in football, maybe you wouldn't show that footage over and over and over again. You see Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, they are like the umpires or the people at Major League Baseball that covered for the Houston Astros for years now. Producer Andrew's a big Dodgers fan. Now, this is back when I watched baseball before it became an anti American enterprise, like far too many things in our country. And I. If you watch baseball, I know Andrew is. Andrew's a Red, okay? He very well might be a Bolshevik. We're still investigating it. Sympathetic to Trotsky and Lenin, possibly Gramsci.
- [33:18]
B
It's an addiction. I'm working on it.
- [33:19]
A
Yep. He can't.
- [33:20]
B
Charlie judges me severely for still doing this. It's become a source of conflict.
- [33:27]
A
Next thing you know, all of a sudden he's gonna be marching in BLM parades. Baseball today, BLM tomorrow. Right. So back when I watched baseball, I actually went to this World Series game, Game six at Dodger Stadium. You might have been there, Andrew. And it was the Astros versus the Dodgers. The Dodgers, I think, won this game because it went to game seven. And the Astros then won and they cheated.
- [33:48]
B
I was not at that game.
- [33:49]
A
And so. But what was the depth of the cheating? What was the significance of it? Because that was a close series, right? That went all the way to game seven. And eventually you guys kind of won half a championship last year in the midst of COVID when no one really cared. But the real championship was stolen from you. And I say that as a Dodger critic. Why is the Maricopa county acting like Major League Baseball? Covering up for the sign stealing Houston Astros? What's going on here? So instead, the LA Dodgers had to settle with a half victory during COVID And there will always be that asterisk. There will always be that little asterisk. Not a full season, no fans, lower ratings, less pressure, you know, Not a real season.
- [34:31]
B
Crazy.
- [34:32]
A
You see what we're doing here?
- [34:33]
B
It was more difficult. They had to. They had to. They had to compete in a shortened season and excel and longer playoffs, by the way. Even a longer playoffs. And they had to compete in the same situation that everybody else was competing. They were still the best of everybody that they had to compete against. I disagree with your. And by the way, who has to live in Like a bubble and win a championship when they're living in a bubble. This is crazy. I don't want to hear it.
- [34:59]
A
So in between watching your BLM baseball fake news, can you at least walk us through the. How bad was the cheating by the Houston Astros? I use this analogy intentionally.
- [35:12]

Well, I mean, it was. It was. Well, right now, just quickly, they are. The Dodgers are playing the Houston Astros right now at Dodger Stadium. Apparently, people were throwing, you know, trash cans out into the field as a protest. I mean, I don't think they're ever going to get over it because it was such a. It's such a scar against baseball itself. But what happened in 2017, and they think in maybe years prior to that, is they were placing video cameras out in center field and they were picking up signs, and then they were banging on a trash can to signal to their player, to their batter, what pitch was going to come. And so, you know, there was a lot of research was done on this, and they would, you know, baseball's a game of stats. They were breaking it down. The away batting averages versus the home batting averages were. Were incredible. I mean, the splits were. Were way outside the norm. What you would. You would typically see with normal baseball players, and that's because they were cheating, and it was bad. And the sad part is all those players should have been, you know, banned from baseball. It should have been like, no cheating allowed. What they did is they slapped. They, you know, they should have stripped the title. What they did is they slapped them on the wrist. You know, who knows how far it went. There was some other cheating going on in Boston and other places, too. So it was. It was getting pretty widespread.

Well, and the point is that eventually it came out. Years later it came out and they realized that it was not conducted properly and that cheating was not.

It needed a whistleblower.

All right, so in a nutshell, I'm gonna make this really quick, is Merrick Garland, who I believe is a total snake in the grass, by the way. He looks nice, he sounds nice. He is. He is radical, man. This guy is a place there. And I think he has a vengeance campaign. Anyways, he is suing the state of Georgia, and he basically is threatening any state that tries to get election integrity as a priority is gonna be sued by this DOJ. He's saying that it violates Section 2 of the Voter Rights Act. Okay, so Section 2 of the Voting Rights act, which was passed in the 60s, is the section that prohibits voting practices or procedures that discriminate on the basis of race, color, or membership in one of the language minority groups. Okay, so you have people like Sheila Lee Jackson, Sheila Jackson Lee, registered Democrat from Texas, saying, this is from the Hill. Georgia election law prevents African American, Latinx and others from exercising the right to vote. So the question is, what did the law that Brian Kemp signed into law? What did it actually do? It curtailed ballot drop boxes, it imposed stricter ID requirements, it shortens absentee ballot request deadlines, and it prohibits from handing out food and water to voters in line. Right. So anywhere in there where it says that it restricts people of color from voting, that's what they're hanging their whole hat on this because as you just described earlier, the Constitution expressly gives the states rights to determine their own election laws. But the federal mandate from the 1965 Voting Rights act says, well, you can't discriminate against people of color. Right? So this is what Biden's whole strategy was. He said Jim Crow 2.0. That was the whole kicker. And Merrick Garland is seizing on that.

Arizona audit results will be released soon. They are nervous. There's going to be something significant that comes out. And even the teaser by Senator Peterson was very significant. And our Department of Justice isn't going to do anything. I really hope the Arizona Attorney General, Mark Bernovich, who I'm meeting with soon, is going to take this case up. I really do. Because there is something really wrong that happened here. We need the routers, we need the servers, and we need to get to the bottom of it. And we have our eyes here on the Arizona audit here in Phoenix, Arizona, and we're going to keep on covering it. Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
