election interference and her alleged involvementĀ  in this fake electors scheme. So she was indicted.Ā Ā

think it was so hard to open up? Excuse me. Speaker 1: All right, so, theatrics aside,Ā Ā 

02:30

imagine for a second for everybody downplayingĀ  this from the Republican Party. Half of right wingĀ Ā 

02:35

media isn't even talking about the fact that theĀ  woman supposedly in charge of election integrityĀ Ā 

02:40

has been indicted and arrested for her role inĀ  trying to defraud an election for everybody,Ā Ā 

02:46

downplaying it. Half of the right wing media won'tĀ  talk about it half or downplaying it. Imagine forĀ Ā 

02:50

a second what the environment on media would beĀ  like right now if the person running electionĀ Ā 

02:56

integrity for the Democratic Party was arrestedĀ  for election fraud. Think for one second theĀ Ā 

03:02

24 over seven breathless, apoplectic coverageĀ  that we'd be seeing on Fox News and hearingĀ Ā 

03:08

on right wing radio and all over the place. ItĀ  would be endless. But when it is a Republican,Ā Ā 

03:14

you go, it's all political, it's all bias.Ā  There's nothing there. This is, in a sense,Ā Ā 

03:19

quite literally, the notion of election integrityĀ  on trial and to any sane and normal person, whichĀ Ā 

03:28

I believe most people in my audience are. WhenĀ  you see the Republican claims of we're workingĀ Ā 

03:36

towards elections that have integrity, which theyĀ  didn't in 2020, but we are trying to do it. AndĀ Ā 

03:43

then all of a sudden, the people claiming to haveĀ  election integrity on their side get arrested forĀ Ā 

03:48

election fraud and manipulation. It should putĀ  into question every single one of these supposedlyĀ Ā 

03:55

election integrity efforts, the fact that theyĀ  want more poll watchers, which of course, areĀ Ā 

04:00

just attempt to intimidate voters, all of their,Ā  manipulation of where can you vote early andĀ Ā 

04:07

where can't you in trying to strategically make itĀ  more limited for those who are statistically moreĀ Ā 

04:12

likely to vote for Democrats than Republicans?Ā  The polling monitors the culling and purging of,Ā Ā 

04:20

voter rolls. All of these things we if we weren'tĀ  already endlessly skeptical of those initiatives,Ā Ā 

04:27

we should really be skeptical now. And there is aĀ  very stark contrast between the supposed role ofĀ Ā 

04:35

Christina Bobb as a guardian of election integrityĀ  and her own legal troubles, which go directly toĀ Ā 

04:41

her interference and fraudulent involvement inĀ  elections. There's a direct conflict there, andĀ Ā 

04:47

it exemplifies the hypocrisy within Trump's innerĀ  inner circle. More generally, those that they tellĀ Ā 

04:54

us are going to be working to uphold the law.Ā  Are often the ones accused of breaking it. ThoseĀ Ā 

05:01

who shout loudly about we are for law and order,Ā  and it is Democrats who don't care about law andĀ Ā 

05:05

order and due process and doing the right thing.Ā  They are the ones that ultimately are gettingĀ Ā 

05:10

accused of breaking the law and not wantingĀ  due process and wanting to circumvent it. SoĀ Ā 

05:15

the Christina Bob case, the Giuliani indictment.Ā  Talk about the others. This is an unraveling ofĀ Ā 

05:22

the coordinated effort to undermine the democraticĀ  process in the country. These people deserve toĀ Ā 

05:27

never have any kind of power again. They mightĀ  get power back in November, depending on whatĀ Ā 

05:33

we do. So that's Christina. Bob, let's notĀ  now talk about the Rudy Giuliani component.
