[Music]
good evening everybody the Marxist demms
and the rhinos are in a huge snit after
losing their big bipartison border Bill
yesterday today they regrouped and they
have a new bright idea for you in other
words a new fraud to advance in the
Senate this time it's a foreign aid Bill
and all they want is $95 billion for
Ukraine for Israel that makes it look
better doesn't it Gaza you would think
make no money for terrorists but you
would be wrong and Taiwan and guess who
helped the Marxist demms move this bill
well here's the gut sickening Senate GOP
sellouts these 17 Republicans are lower
than low lives here are their faces
their names what sad SE sewer creatures
they really are uh it's disgusting to
think those 17 Republicans would stoop
this low just to re you know $95 billion
they're a disgrace and the Republican
Party should be ashamed both of their
leadership and these 17 you notice
McConnell was in both places at the same
time a remarkable feat uh for a man uh
like Mitch McConnell well also today
Peter Navaro former Special Assistant to
president Trump has been ordered to
prison Navaro was convicted of defying a
January 6 committee subpoena as he
claimed executive privilege uh Obama
judge Ahmed MAA refused to postpone
though the four-month-long prison
sentence meta handing down that sentence
last month and he is outrageously
partisan judge meta is a disgrace in my
opinion and like nearly all of the
District of Columbia Court System
massively politically corrupt and uh if
you will donate whatever you can he will
appreciate it we all will appreciate
appreciate it thanks so much for giving
it's gend go.org that's gend go.org
SL SL Navaro n a v a r r o Navaro again
Peter Navaro will be greatly
appreciative because he is being just
cruy treated by the DC goog the the
judicia there is as is as Cor rupt as
anything in this in this country it it's
a it's a shame what has happened to the
nation's capital and to our Judiciary
and a bigger shame what they have done
to Peter Navaro and so many others well
earlier today the US Supreme Court heard
oral arguments about Colorado and its
decision to remove Trump from the ballot
it isn't going so well though for uh
Trump's enemies listen to Justice Neil
Gorsuch slapper around Colorado attorney
Jason Murray put that aside I'm not
going to say it again put it aside okay
I think justice lead is asking a very
different question a more pointed one
and more difficult one for you I
understand but I think it deserves an
answer on your
theory would anything
compel a lower official to obey an order
from in your view the former
president I'm imagining a situation
where for example a former president
president was you know a president was
elected and they were 25 and they were
ineligible to office but nevertheless
they were put into that office we're
talking about section three please don't
change the hypothetical okay please
don't change the hypothetical I know I
like doing it too but please don't do it
okay well the point I'm trying to make
is he's disqualified from the moment he
committed an Insurrection whoever it is
whichever party it that that happens
boom it happened what would compel and
I'm not going to say it again so just
try and answer the question if you don't
answered fair enough we'll move on
Justice Clarence Thomas also
extraordinarily critical uh as he
dismantled the attorney
Murray Murray couldn't give Justice
Thomas a single example of a state
disqualifying a national candidate in
all of American History the question
actually seemed to totally confuse him
as if it had never occurred at all that
this might be a relevant issue listen to
this Exchange well there were certainly
National candidates who were
disqualified by Congress refusing to
seat them I understand that but that's
not this case I'm T did States
disqualify them that's what we're
talking about here I understand Congress
would not see them other than the
example I gave no but again your honor
that that's not surprising because there
wouldn't have been States certainly
wouldn't have the authority to remove a
c the purpose of the what was the
purpose of the of section
three what Thomas's saying there is that
Murray's argument is completely and
utterly incoherent he dismantled it in
about 15 seconds meanwhile have you ever
wondered what the electoral map would
look like if most voters had voted in
person in 2020 and if we had eliminated
all of those Mass mailin uh voting
opportunities well we may find out this
November thanks to the work of the
Delaware Republican chairwoman Julianne
Murray no excuse mailin voting is now
banned in the state of Delaware Murray
is the one who spearheaded the effort
and filed a lawsuit against her State's
Department of Elections back in
2022 at the time Murray was running to
become the Delaware attorney general
challenging the Democrat incumbent the
Delaware Supreme Court has sided with
Murray and quickly struck down the no
excuse male in voting law which had
allowed voters to vote by mail for
extremely vague reasons such as public
service business illness the court also
struck down a law that allowed people to
register to vote on Election Day of all
all things I would hope they would
strike that down after securing these
important reforms Murray recently
declared that President Trump will now
win the state of Delaware in 2020
president Trump Trump won the machines
in Delaware and I met him in uh July
this past July and he said to me how do
we look and I said primary General and
he said in the primary no problem
general election I said you can win and
he said okay and I said you want to know
why and I said you beat him in 2020 on
the machine vote you lost because of
vote by mail he said okay I said there
is no vote by mail in 24 and he said why
not and I said because I sued when I was
running for attorney general and it's
unconstitutional he was like why aren't
more States doing this this is precisely
what the Republican party needs all
across the country in point of fact
active change active reform of the laws
to secure our elections the RNC by the
way invested 30 million dollar in the
last cycle for election Integrity
efforts but more a lot more has to be
done for this year's presidential
election since the 2020 election just
Six States six of them all Republicans
have implemented stricter guidelines for
mail-in voting only six as many blue
states have also loosened their mailin
voting rules California for example
extending a co9 era law that will send
every single registered voter in the
state a mail-in ballot Now isn't that
nice isn't that convenient and uh what
fraud they perpetrate well two key
States for Republicans Florida and
Georgia passed laws that raise signature
requirements for mail in ballots Arizona
also shortened the time allowed to cure
a ballot ballot curing is the process
that allows a voter to prove their
identity if their signature doesn't
match up among other things despite
these positive changes many states still
have no excuse absentee voting
Republican National Committee chairwoman
Ron McDaniel's resignation just
yesterday at least the news of it leaves
Republicans with a unique opportunity to
to elect a chair who is committed to
election Integrity the founder and CEO
of this network in fact Mike Lindell has
one person in mind for the job and now
Julianne Murray and Julian first of all
welcome to the show and uh and secondly
congratulations on your great work in
the state of Delaware uh how long did it
take you to to make uh make the election
system there make a little more sense
well wonderful thank you for having me
here uh and it's you know it's kind it's
a funny story actually or not so funny
uh in 2020 I actually was on the ballot
with President Trump in Delaware I was
running for governor at the time in
20120 uh you was very much impacted by
vote by mail and became a uh a proponent
of election integrity and uh you know
very big advocate of it uh fast forward
in time decide to run I'm a trial lawyer
uh decide to run for uh attorney general
and while I'm doing that the general
assembly basically says we don't care
that the constitution provides for
absentee voting uh we are going to say
that you can vote no excuse vote by mail
um and so we filed a lawsuit uh it was
unbelievably quick and so the question
in terms of how long did it take was
actually uh very quick uh we filed in
the end of July we had to wait for the
Governor to sign the bill and then uh
had the trial court level probably end
of August of 22 decision came out right
after the primary because the argument
is only about the general election
because the Constitution only talks
about the general election uh and the
state immediately appealed it and we did
a supreme court uh AR briefing and
argument within about 3 weeks uh had
argument on I'm going to say it was a
Thursday and and Friday they affirmed it
it was
amazing and that quickly uh the way
forward for uh for reform in Delaware
and the reality is that on that basis
you decided that President Trump could
win um give us your idea
about give us your ideas right now about
uh are there any other parts of the laws
in Delware that need to be reformed or
do you think this is a sufficient uh
advancement it's a great question and
there's two things the reason that I
told president Trump that he and I told
president Trump he could win when I met
him in July is he actually beat
President Biden uh in uh 2020 on the
machines he lost because of vote by mail
uh because the Delaware Supreme Court
Struck it down it has to be amended by
Constitutional Amendment and it takes
two terms to do that it cannot be done
by the 24 election so in terms of just r
numbers it was uh absolutely possible uh
if vote by mail is not in the mix or it
is absolutely possible to to win on you
know a a straightup election for
President Trump in terms of other areas
uh there is a a lawsuit pending right
now I'm not a party to it uh about early
voting also in Delaware uh right now it
is considered constitutional but the
argument is that our laws provide and
our constitution provide for an election
day not an election few days so uh we'll
see what happens with that but for right
now uh Delaware has a 10day early voting
period that is you know statutorily
there for right now yeah yeah you know
Julian I have always thought that this
business about extending the days for
voting uh early uh voting mail and
balloting you know I've always thought
it's sort of democracy for for idiots uh
it's just it's so simple just to have a
go vote in person and be done with it uh
the military is one exception uh where
you have to have I
think absentee ballots but for the rest
it's a convenience that I don't think
the state is responsible uh for uh you
know what we really need to do is be
able to add uh add up votes I don't see
why you need fancy
electronic computerized machine to do
that we've done it better when we did it
manually and when we did it uh with
paper uh why in the world are do we keep
putting up with a fiction that this is
somehow better because we've complicated
it uh and extended
it well I mean I think that it's a great
question and you know the uh the left
has done a tremendous job of packaging
it as we need to make voting easy we
need to and you know and if we make it
easier that's going to increase voter
turnout that is you know so they you
know they put a pretty bow on it to make
it seem like gee we would want to
definitely encourage you know more
voting more voting is better but the
problem is that also opens up the door
to fraud you know and so you know what's
the real end game here was you know and
and I mean obviously there are many of
us that believe the end game is they've
done this to insert fraud into the
equation let me ask you this as we we're
got about a minute left here uh the RNC
R McDaniel is leaving it's clear uh
sometime Apparently after the the South
Carolina primary which will be the 24th
uh give us have you got a candidate uh
are you interested in the
job you know it's interesting that has
taken on a life of own in a in a in a
humbling and honorable way uh you know I
am new to the RNC in terms of I was
elected in April um you know I am but I
and I can see that as a positive and a
negative the you know I am not part of
the you the establishment part of any
swamp I am a Grassroots candidate who
you know has has worked her way uh you
through up through some of these ranks
uh you I mean at the end of the day it's
president Trump decision the job of the
Republican Party of the RNC is to get a
Republican president elected and and
that is going to be president Trump uh
so you if I get that phone call uh and
you know he wants me in I am there 100%
because that would be his call to
make Julian Murray we thank you very
much for being with us and I wish you
the very best of luck and thanks for all
you're doing for the Republican party in
particular and thank Youk thank you for
having thank
you the Biden Administration is siding
with the Palestinians you knew that had
to come I I this is unbelievable this
Administration sometimes they surprise
even me uh the sighting with the
Palestinians in Gaza against Israel
Secretary of State Anthony blinkin says
our Ally Israel is quote unquote
dehumanizing them these are the same
people who carried out a barb bar aric
Massacre on October 7th and don't forget

Palestinians voted for Hamas to be uh
their uh governing uh group but we'll
