Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, well, well, looks who got bailed out in is
back at work again today. Michael Danger Brown. By the way, Brownie,
your filling host yesterday, was really nice to Dragon and
brought him some food. How thoughtful. Also, as you can guess,
we're just a mere seven days one week from the election.
(00:25):
It's been the craziest ride ever.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
And that's why I'm back today because it is a
week away.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
And I don't really you ever had to ask at
all about whether or not who felt Was it Jimmy?
Speaker 4 (00:36):
It was Jimmy.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Yeah, and Jimmy brought your food.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
He brought me a pumpkin spice donut.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
And it was a pumpkin spice donut.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
Now he didn't call me a bald a hole, so
no sexual harassment charges.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Okay, well did you eat the pumpkin spice donut?
Speaker 4 (00:50):
Of course I did.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Oh, you took one, a little taste of it and
that was it. And then you realize it was pumpkin spice.
You need to get home to the missus, didn't you.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
I like pumpkins? She hates Oh she does?
Speaker 4 (01:00):
Oh yeah, okay, not even come here a pumpkin pie.
It's wrong with you.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Do you think there's a chance in hill I'll ever
bring you anything deep, not a chance, No, And you
know why, I wouldn't run the risk that I'm going
to bring you something one that you wouldn't like. And two,
I I know what your pattern is. I'm around you
enough that I know your pattern at least you know
for four or five hours a day. So I'm not
going to try to interrupt that pattern.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
I'm not.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
I'm not going to be the one now. If I
just happen to have another meeting, let's say sometime this
week that's near that Voodoo Donuts. I was near what
a week ago that I might do that, but only
because I.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Know you won't be able to resist that, and you'll
you'll do that? Are good? Yeah, a voodoo donut? So yeah,
I am back.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
I just I needed I needed a break and I'm
trying to burn up vacation time. So there, and so
I'm here until uh who knows that if anybody will
be here a week from tomorrow, Who knows if anybody
will be around, who knows if we'll still be on
the airwaves, Who knows what's gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
I'm sure that people beat this to death on Monday.
But you know, Donald Trump had this big fascist rally.
All these Nazis, these Nazis got together at Madison Square.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Garden and I watched it.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Of course, I watched it standing straight up with my
right arm, arm straight up in the air, had my
brown shirt on, and I watched it. It was haile
Trump the entire time. It was you know, it felt
kind of weird, you know, sitting all the dogs kept
staring at me, like it's time to eat. I'm like, no, no, no,
no no, no, Trump speaking, I got I got it.
I can't move. I gotta stay here with there.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
When shepherds came by your side.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
What the German they sat, They sat very stoy. So
as I was watching the Matzi rally, which honestly I
did not do, I watched part of it online and
that was it. I also watched part of the I
watched a full hour of the Rogan It was three
It was two hours, forty eight minutes, fifty nine seconds
(03:15):
something like that, just slightly under three hours.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
The Rogan podcast with.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Trump.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Now, I've watched snippets of the podcast before when there's
been somebody thats of interest, and it shows up on
X then I'll watch snippets here or there, but I
don't listen to nor do I watch the Rogan podcast.
It's just it's I like his style and I thought
he was very good. Here's what I learned from watching
(03:46):
one hour and it was almost exactly it was like
fifty eight minutes or something that I watched. Trump would
do the weave, and I can't believe that's now part
of our vernacular.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
With his hair.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
I mean, come on, the hair, Oh my god, the
hair's just the hair's getting worse. And even he's joking
about the hair now. But he would start that weave,
and Rogan would have asked a question. You know, Rogan
asked a really good question at the beginning, you know,
what was it like? Because that's something that I think.
(04:18):
It's It's it's like when people ask me, why was
it like the first day you ever walked into the
White House? And I and I can still remember it.
I felt like a complete idiot, but I remember that day.
Rogan was really good at letting Trump kind of wander
off the reservation for a while and then gently try
(04:41):
to bring him back, and then firmly bring him back.
And Trump in that in that environment would sometimes push back,
you know, Oh now, Joe, I'm doing the weave. I
go let me, let me think about this. I'll get
back to that point. And so there was a good
balance between the two of them going back and forth.
Now I haven't looked today to see and again it's YouTube.
(05:05):
I don't have many downloads, but on YouTube there's some
thirty million I think views. And if you could be
ten seconds, thirty seven thirty seven million today, So thirty
seven million views. Now, again, I don't care whether that
is ten seconds or that's three hours or somewhere in between.
Thirty seven million views of anything is astronomical because in
(05:29):
a world where we are all afflicted with ADHD, anybody
would watch even two minutes of that interview saw a
different side of Trumpton they've seen before. Between between that
and Madison Square Garden and the twenty thousand people that
(05:53):
were inside the arena, plus the tens of fouls that
were outside the arena, I think is a good indication
of where this election is headed.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
And just as a frame of reference for previous Joe
Rogan podcasts, I'm not going to list off any names
of who else has been on his podcast, but they
range views on YouTube anywhere between five hundred thousand to
a million.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Wow. Correct, yeah, wow.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Some of them have popped up over over like three million,
three million, but a good, good average would be somewhere
between five hundred thousand and one million.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Yea. Yeah, and here we're thirty you said thirty seven million.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
Seven as of this morning.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Yeah, so there.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
I want to make a general statement before I get
into some specifics about topics. Trump on a national average
popular vote, which is meaningless kept in one sense, and
I'll explain that in a second, is now above forty
(07:04):
nine percent. He's never broken the forty seven percent glass
ceiling that has always kept him down. And Trump tends
to underpo if he's broken the glass ceiling of forty
seven percent and is nearing forty nine or is that
forty nine percent? And if that trend line continues and
(07:26):
he breaks fifty percent, Harris is not anywhere near that
at this point. And here's why. Even though it is
a meaningless number in terms of the election, because we
do fifty different state elections, here's why that national number
is important. Now it will vary by state, So some states,
(07:52):
the overall vote in a particular state may be greater
than it is in another state. But if overall, generally
Trump is beginning to break forty nine percent, then in
the swing states, if you just extrapolate that forty nine
percent out across all states, including some states like take
(08:14):
Oklahoma or Wyoming for example, Oklahoma, Wyoming, maybe Idaho, Montana
might be one of those states this year where their
electoral college votes don't really matter a lot in the
grand scheme of things. I mean, you still need them,
but they're just taken for granted. You take those and
(08:37):
if the turnout is as great in those states as
it is in other states New Jersey for example, or
Georgia or Michigan or Pennsylvania, and that forty nine percent
carries across to those states, then that means that.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
And again I don't care.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Whether it's two or three points, but if it's a
two or three point margin and he's on top of
that two or three points and the electoral college count
starts to approach, you know, well, well over two seventy.
That's because so many people are turning out. And I
(09:19):
think that's why if you step back and just kind
of objectively look at what the Harris campaign is saying
and doing. It's floundering. Now, I'm not trying to dampen
the vote. I'm not trying to suppress the vote. I'm
(09:41):
not trying to keep people in Colorado from not voting
or anywhere else where you're listening. I still want people
to go out and vote, Particularly if you happen to
drop your ballot off at a drop box and it
was set on fire, then you might just want to
make certain that you get a hold of your county
(10:02):
election board and that you get a new ballot and
you go cast that ballot again. Two things are occurring.
One the reporting, the national reporting from the cabal. Now,
these are the people that want Kamala Harris to win.
But when they start reporting on hey, you're spending too
(10:25):
much time talking about Trump as a fascist, that's not resonating.
When they start talking about that out in the open,
or they start talking about the fact that Joe Biden
has offered, Hey, I've cleared my calendar. Hey I'm available,
I can I can go somewhere. Oh you don't want
me to go, well, oh, mister president, thank you. We'll
(10:47):
call you. Don't call us, we'll call you. Kind of thing,
and then he shows up in Philadelphia or where we
showed up anyway, and that pisses off people inside the
Harris campaign. That's the best word for that is disarray.
If the best you have is that Trump is fascist,
that's built in. You've been calling Trump a Nazi for
(11:12):
ten years now.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
You even dove into a week or so ago that
almost every Republican candidate for the past thirty years has
been called the fascist fascist.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
So that's baked in. We all know that all of
us right wing nut jobs, all of us moderates, all
of us libertarians, all of those who might dare cast
a ballot for Trump, we know that he's a fascist.
We know that he's a Nazi. We know that he's
a dictator. And that's why at the end of the
twenty twenty election, on January one of twenty twenty one,
(11:45):
that's why he refused to leave the White House and
they actually had to get a bulldozer and push this
fat ass out of there. So it's all baked in
and nobody cares anymore. Inflation is started to rear its
head again, yes, so that we'll have some economic members
we'll talk about this week. But the economy is not
(12:08):
looking really good, and Kamala Harris is sitting down with
Gretchen Whitmer in a bar, dropping an F bomb, dropping
an S bomb, and admitting, you know, quietly away, he's
supposed to be listening, but oh, you know, you should
assume if you are a candidate for president, you're a
candidate for much of anything, you should assume that unless
(12:30):
you are in a room alone with no microphones anywhere,
and the door is closed and you don't see any
bugs anywhere, you've had the place bug, you should always
assume that somebody's listening. And indeed people were listening, And
in that conversation she admitted, yeah, we're not doing as
well with men as we thought we would, which, by
the way, is not a gender gap. Men are not
(12:53):
voting for Kamala Harris because she's a woman. They're not
voting for Kamala Harris because she's not a leader. She
doesn't have any good policies, she flip flops on policies,
she doesn't have anything, she doesn't have anything to offer.
So that's why men, she's not doing very well with men.
Let's get into some specifics. At least two allegedly and
(13:17):
I emphasized the word allegedly secure. Ballot drop box has
been selling fire in Oregon and in Washington State. Now,
why those two do you think those two are going
to go for Trump? No, they're not going to go
for Trump. But well, and it destroyed an So far,
we don't know the number of ballots that were inside
(13:39):
Clark County, Washington. Saw a ballot drop box billowing smoke us.
I thought it was kind of just a metaphor for
for kind of the entire country, for kind of everything
about our politics right now that if you haven't seen you,
you can find it on me in her webs. But
here are a bunch of firefight and other first responders.
(14:01):
The ballot box is smoking, their embers flying everywhere, and
they're trying to rake ballots this ballot box and they're
just they're on fire and they're burning in the smokes,
bellowing them. The embers are flying and they're trying, they're
trying to get the ballots out. Now, what are they
gonna do? Are they now going to like hanging chads
(14:22):
back during the two thousand election with Bush and Gore?
Are they now going to start like trying to peace
about Oh look, this one was not burned enough. Oh look,
we can see through the smoke damage that we think
they voted for. Oh look, they voted for Kamala Harris.
Now here's why it's important, though. Clark County sits in
(14:47):
a hotly contested congressional race. It's the third congressional district.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Hell.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
It's currently held by glusen Comp or Prez gluesen comp
Perez hypernated name. She's a Democrat. But Trump won that
district in the twenty twenty presidential election, and right now
the race is currently a toss up between Perez and
Joe Can't the Republican who's an Army Special Forces veteran.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Quote.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
This morning, at about four am, Vancouver Police responded to
an arson at a ballot box located at thirty five
Tennis on sixty fourth Avenue. It was reported that the
ballot box was smoking and on fire. They continued. Officers
arrived and located a suspicious device next to the box.
The ballot box was smoking and was on fire. Members
(15:44):
of the Metro Explosive Disposal Unit the MEEDU arrived and
safely collected the device and the fire was extinguished. According
to preliminary reports that an incendiary device appears to have
set the fire. Now, of course, we don't have any suspects,
(16:09):
and according to Park County news sources, there's no motivation
for the fire that has been identified. Yeah, I want
you to think about how insane that statement is. Do
you think a bunch of teenagers just driving around town,
you know, drinking beer, drunk driving you know, uh, you know,
(16:30):
they got a bunch of girlfriends in the back seat,
and you know everybody's trying to you know, hey, what
are we gonna do. I don't know, Let's go set
some ballot, some fire. We just happen to be in
a holly contested congressional district. Let's go set some balloting.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
I want to say, it's not a possibility. I mean,
kids back in the day used to take baseball bets
to mailboxes out front of houses. Not saying that I
did that.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
I can't imagine you've ever done that.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
But there's a difference between taking a baseball that to
a mail box as you're just driving along and pulling
into an area that is secure and that has cameras
on it or should have cameras on it, and actually
said setting a. They call it an incendiary device. Can
(17:18):
I just give a Can I just use a four
letter word in place of it?
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Bomb?
Speaker 4 (17:25):
In an inst your device?
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Just a match? Well, it could be a match too,
that's right.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
Yeah, light a matchbook and put.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
It in there, right, just put it in there. So
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
I well, unless you're an any inner city you know,
trend to a rog with gang member, you don't tend
to set things on fire. You just you you vandalize things,
you turn it over whatever. Anyway, they claim that there
were hundreds of ballots in the drop box at the
time of the fire, the last pick of the curd
(17:58):
at eleven am on a Saturday. I don't get that.
Why aren't you picking things up like like every six
hours or something.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Well, it'd be too much work, Mike. We we don't
have to do anything. We might people just throw the
ballots in the box and.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
We'll just show up all I don't know once every
couple of days and collect them. I mean, what could
possibly go wrong? This country is so backassword when it
comes to elections.
Speaker 5 (18:22):
Micha or Michael or Michelle, depending on the day. Welcome back,
fair face. I hope you have good day, suck Cregan. Yo,
fair face fair to face? Where did that come from?
Speaker 2 (18:39):
What was a fair face?
Speaker 4 (18:40):
Or let me let me see if I can pull
up the transcripture, see what the AI in our system
thinks it is. Uh, fair face, fair face, fair face,
fair face.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Well okay, I mean, you know what I would have preferred,
you know, handsome or sexy.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Or you know, something like you know, you know Atlas.
But you know, I ain't.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
Nobody thinks that I know.
Speaker 6 (19:04):
But I.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Just hope that eventually somebody somewhere will say something nice
to me.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Nope, it's not gonna happen around the year.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
So this the preliminary report about this incendiary device.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
As Dragon pointed out during the break, you know, we
don't hear about these things, uh, throughout the rest of
the year.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
Well, yeah, or at least nobody we texted in ninety
six twenty four. No one is a starting the drop
box on fire in the other three hundred days of
the year. It only happened a month prior to a
major president of election.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Yeah, because that's when the ballots are in there. There's
nothing in.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
The exactly I argue the fact that, yeahude, they're not
reported the other three hundred days.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
And I assume that I don't know that, I you know,
maybe after the election I'll go check. But I assume
those ballot box drop drop boxes like the one over
in the in Douglas County over by the Sheriff's substation
is there throughout the year, Like I don't, I mean,
since it's security bolted to the ground, they don't do
(20:10):
anything with it. Do they seal them off or what
what I mean? Or do they just get become rat
and fested or what I don't.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
But while while states continued to expand early voting and
mail in voting timelines, election officials have insisted that ballot
drop box are safe, they're secure, they're adequately monitored. But
it seems to me that kind of what happened in
(20:38):
Oregon and Washington, Vancouver and Portland kind of belies that,
doesn't it. Carol Markowitz tweeted out in other breaking news
the devices found in the ballot drop boxes in Portland,
Oregon and Vancouver, Washington were well made using thermite, are
(20:58):
made to burn the ballots explode. I hope to have
additional information to share on this soon, now, you know,
who knows made using thermite. No, come on, can't be true.
But it does remind me of a story that I watched,
you know. So I get home just in time to
you know, check the evening weather, turn over to KVR,
(21:21):
and uh, of course the World Series? Do they may
care about the World Series? Of course I want the
Dodgers to win, just because, yeah, I know, it's like, yeah,
who we should care, because we're never gonna go as
long as the Monfords owned the Rockies, We're never.
Speaker 4 (21:39):
Gonna We went that one time and lost miserably.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Exactly.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
So, so I tuned in to KDVR and they're doing
a story about the election signature verification process. So of
course it catches my eye now once again, just like
I did last week. Did you notice the little kerfu
what I got into with Kyle Clark about.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
The whole again? No, no, from last week? Did you
did you notice.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
That we'll pay attention to you outside I barely even
pay attention to you during these four.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Well that's true, that's true.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
So I played a clip from nine News on their website.
I played the entire thing and then I made the note.
I made the comment, oh but look in the story.
It talks about X, which is not mentioned in the video.
Kyle Clark jumps all over me like it, you know,
really and did. What I find most fascinating is this,
(22:34):
you can kind of tell a little bit about someone's
political beliefs or their political leanings by the people that
follow them. Now, I know that I have, uh and
I'm not gonna name any names, but I know that
I've got some hate followers that follow me on X
because every once in a while they pop up and
they start accusing me of, you know, killing people and
(22:56):
I hate people, and I'm a I'm a you know, prejudice,
racial bag whatever, like okay, just you know, just they
I've got them. I don't block them because I actually
kind of get a kick out of them. But when
you look at the people that started kind of reposting
and retweeting Kyle Clarks and I'm curious about who are they,
then you're going you find well, they're all they're all
(23:16):
Kamala Harris supporters. Well Shazam, I wonder why. Well, anyway,
so I'm watching I'm watching KDVR yesterday and they are
telling this was the evening News and they're telling us
about the signature verification process. Now, I have to admit
that I was not aware that they were doing what
(23:38):
they apparently are doing. Maybe not in all counties, but
at least where they reported.
Speaker 6 (23:43):
So it's worse one's balance are actually received.
Speaker 7 (23:45):
Fox story on political reporter Gabrielle Franklin joining us now
with how it all works in Rapo County.
Speaker 6 (23:49):
Gabrielle, Yeah, Jeremy, elections here in Colorado undergo a very
detailed verification and security process today. The clerk.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
It's detailed only in that it's simple in one regard
and then becomes very complex in another.
Speaker 6 (24:08):
And recorder's office here in a Rapaho County showed us
how ballots signatures get verified.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
Now, have you ever seen a male sorting device, you
know where the mail is just going through a machine
that just automatically shifts it into different areas based on
what it reads in the area code, the area code,
the zip code. Yeah, well picture that same thing in
your head here. Or if you've ever been been to
(24:34):
the bank and you know the bank has counted out
the bills, you know they cannot and they put it
in the machine and he goes through the machine, or
your deposit goes through the low machine and it reads,
it reads the micro code on it. You imagine a
machine something like this, he said, just kind of flat,
and the ballots are all traveling around these tracks.
Speaker 7 (24:55):
So this device is called the Agilus. We're very fortunately
we have two of them.
Speaker 6 (24:59):
This is a jealous machine and plays a very big
role in elections here in Colorado, and not only sorts
the ballots, it also helps your county election workers verify
that voters are who their records say they are.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
So a machine is doing the original signature verification.
Speaker 7 (25:16):
Every voter in Colorado has a unique barcode or every
election there never reused and specific only to that voter.
So as soon as that barcode is skinned on your
ballot envelope, if you've signed up for ballot tracks, you'll
receive one of those notices that your ballot has been
received by a Rapo County.
Speaker 6 (25:33):
Tom Skelley with the Rapahoe County Clerk and Recorder's Office says,
fifty to sixty percent of ballot signatures are verified through
this machine.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Fifty to sixty percent of signatures are verified through the machine.
So now he's going to explain to the man, there's
a camera much like the cameras on the express lanes
or on the highways or on the intersections, and they
boom boom boom boom boom boom, read your signs now.
(26:02):
I first, when I thought about that, I thought, wait
a minute, how accurate is that? Well, it turns out
fifty to sixty percent of the time they say that
the camera matches a signature. But then I got to think,
you know, then think they tell me what signature is
it that they're verifying?
Speaker 6 (26:22):
Camera inside it takes an image of the signatures.
Speaker 7 (26:25):
What it does then, is it overlays that digital image
on the most recent signature we have in a voter's files.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
Uh huh, Now that's key.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
It matches the most recent signature that you have ever done.
So now I know why that every time I just squiggle,
you know, my rem that it's reading it, because that's
what I've done for the past, you know, empten elections.
So if they're doing the same thing in Douglas County
as they're doing in a Rapaho county, well then yeah,
(26:57):
that camera is probably matching because oh yeah, that it
looks like the same squigly from last time.
Speaker 7 (27:02):
Let's say you voted in the March primary but not
the June primary. We'll have your signature from the March primary.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
We'll compare that one.
Speaker 7 (27:10):
It'll digitally overlay it automatically, and if it matches the
matches the balance.
Speaker 6 (27:15):
That don't clear this process then head to a two
tier human verification process.
Speaker 7 (27:20):
A file of it will be on screen for them
to review and they'll compare it.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
But again they're only comparing the most recent signature that
they have on file.
Speaker 7 (27:31):
To again, the most recent signature in the file, just
like the AGILISTID. If they're not confident that it's a match,
it gets set aside.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
And then in the next tier.
Speaker 7 (27:40):
Signature verification, we will have two election judges bipartisanly paired,
and they'll be sitting at these screens. They can compare
the most recent signature to every signature we have in
that voters record.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Ah.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
Now we finally get to the point where, oh, if
it doesn't match like the last time you voted, which
may have been you know, like two years ago, then
they will go back and they will look at every
signature that you've ever had, I guess since you've registered.
Speaker 7 (28:10):
So this is particularly useful as voters get older and
their signatures may change.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
You know, like me, you get older and you just
kind of, like you know, a doctor, you just kind
of squiggle a line.
Speaker 6 (28:22):
And we did confirm with the Mesa County clerk today
that their office also uses an agilous machine to verify
signatures as well assort their ballots. And if you still
have any questions about.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
It, hmm.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
So if Mason County uses the same machine and twelve
ballots got through, three of them actually ended up getting counted,
then how effective is that signature verification process? And now
we've got ballot collection boxes being burned in Washington and Oregon,
(28:59):
and we got unverified signatures being cast in Colorado. Why
is it that the United f and States of America
can't have a simple election process where you show up,
you show your ID, the clerk or one of their
(29:22):
employees or a volunteer looks up your name, Oh there
you are, checks you off or marks you off in
the computer or something that you received your ballot and
you vote and then you go into the little machine
or behind the curtain and you cast your ballot and
you come back out, you fold it properly at whatever
you're going to do, and you hand it back and
(29:43):
then they count the ballot. Oh, I know, because Americans
just want to go through the drive thru.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
You know.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
It's like every time I look at a Starbucks and
the line to the Starbucks is just as long as
can be. I'm like, once you just get to your
car and go inside. Oh, I know, the line gets
the priority. But if you're standing at the counter, somebody's
going to pay attention to you. Yeah, but we can't.
We have to complicate everything. Why Oh, because it enables cheating.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Mike.
Speaker 8 (30:17):
That was Farret's face as in the Purry Little Creature
put in all seriousness, we do appreciate you every day
you do yeoman's work, and we pick on you because
we like you.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
Speaking of pick on, I.
Speaker 5 (30:35):
Got a new name for dragon drag, a lagging ding dong.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
La day post.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
Okay, well, I appreciate that those are tinding words, and
I appreciate that. Uh, you know, I also appreciate the
fact that you should let me. You know, It's it's
funny that I I don't like to take days off,
but I love to take days off. So what I
did was Saturday, as soon as the national program was finished,
(31:09):
I ran home. Well, actually I stopped and put guts
in the car at Sam's, ran home, dragged the grabbed
the Lian Burgers, threw on the back of the jeep
Grand Cherokee, and we headed to New Mexico. And we
got there and it was just wonderful. It was full,
the leaves are pretty. It was quiet, there was a
(31:30):
chill in the air, and it was just it was quiet.
No TV, just left the TV off, read took the
dogs on walks. They were like, come on, Dad, come on,
we're walking too much where liam Burgers just want to
lay around.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
It was wonderful.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
So the other thing, but one thing I have noticed,
and I actually had a little bit of proof of
the cabal, the particularly the television networks, I think are
attempting to interfere more heavily in this election than in
any past election. Now there I would like to have
(32:14):
done the story yesterday because I'm curious, based on a
full week, whether I would say the same thing come
this Friday. Because since I put these notes together last night,
I'm beginning to think that I might be a little
wrong about this. I'm not wrong about what they've been doing.
(32:38):
What I may be wrong about is what I think
they may continue to do. If you go to the
Media Research Center that you know, Bozell his group broadcast
news coverage of Donald Trump and Harris's respective campaigns has
been almost entirely favorable or Harris and negative for Trump.
(33:07):
Here's what they write since July. This is why I
want to check it again. Since July, ABC, CBS, and
NBC have treated Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris to seventy
eight percent positive coverage, while those very same networks have
pummeled Donald Trump with eighty five percent negative coverage. Now,
(33:31):
you think about the low information voter out there, the
person who just buy us Moses, consumes the news. If
they're watching the networks, then they're getting bombarded with seventy
eight percent positive coverage of Kamala Harris and eighty five
percent negative coverage of Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
Now will they continue to do that?
Speaker 3 (33:54):
Because at some point they have to start dealing with reality.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
Now.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
The Media Research Center notes that their analysis is based
on quote explicitly of valiative statements about each candidate from
either reporters, anchors, or non partisan sources such as experts
or voters themselves. They add that the difference in coverage
(34:23):
between the two candidates is far greater today than it
was in twenty sixteen.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
Huh.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
Now, what we need to do is watch and see
do they start to turn around a little bit as
we get closer to the end of this week, because
by this weekend, it's
Well, well, well, looks who got bailed out in is
back at work again today. Michael Danger Brown. By the way, Brownie,
your filling host yesterday, was really nice to Dragon and
brought him some food. How thoughtful. Also, as you can guess,
we're just a mere seven days one week from the election.
(00:25):
It's been the craziest ride ever.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
And that's why I'm back today because it is a
week away.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
And I don't really you ever had to ask at
all about whether or not who felt Was it Jimmy?
Speaker 4 (00:36):
It was Jimmy.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Yeah, and Jimmy brought your food.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
He brought me a pumpkin spice donut.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
And it was a pumpkin spice donut.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
Now he didn't call me a bald a hole, so
no sexual harassment charges.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Okay, well did you eat the pumpkin spice donut?
Speaker 4 (00:50):
Of course I did.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Oh, you took one, a little taste of it and
that was it. And then you realize it was pumpkin spice.
You need to get home to the missus, didn't you.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
I like pumpkins? She hates Oh she does?
Speaker 4 (01:00):
Oh yeah, okay, not even come here a pumpkin pie.
It's wrong with you.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Do you think there's a chance in hill I'll ever
bring you anything deep, not a chance, No, And you
know why, I wouldn't run the risk that I'm going
to bring you something one that you wouldn't like. And two,
I I know what your pattern is. I'm around you
enough that I know your pattern at least you know
for four or five hours a day. So I'm not
going to try to interrupt that pattern.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
I'm not.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
I'm not going to be the one now. If I
just happen to have another meeting, let's say sometime this
week that's near that Voodoo Donuts. I was near what
a week ago that I might do that, but only
because I.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Know you won't be able to resist that, and you'll
you'll do that? Are good? Yeah, a voodoo donut? So yeah,
I am back.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
I just I needed I needed a break and I'm
trying to burn up vacation time. So there, and so
I'm here until uh who knows that if anybody will
be here a week from tomorrow, Who knows if anybody
will be around, who knows if we'll still be on
the airwaves, Who knows what's gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
I'm sure that people beat this to death on Monday.
But you know, Donald Trump had this big fascist rally.
All these Nazis, these Nazis got together at Madison Square.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Garden and I watched it.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Of course, I watched it standing straight up with my
right arm, arm straight up in the air, had my
brown shirt on, and I watched it. It was haile
Trump the entire time. It was you know, it felt
kind of weird, you know, sitting all the dogs kept
staring at me, like it's time to eat. I'm like, no, no, no,
no no, no, Trump speaking, I got I got it.
I can't move. I gotta stay here with there.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
When shepherds came by your side.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
What the German they sat, They sat very stoy. So
as I was watching the Matzi rally, which honestly I
did not do, I watched part of it online and
that was it. I also watched part of the I
watched a full hour of the Rogan It was three
It was two hours, forty eight minutes, fifty nine seconds
(03:15):
something like that, just slightly under three hours.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
The Rogan podcast with.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Trump.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Now, I've watched snippets of the podcast before when there's
been somebody thats of interest, and it shows up on
X then I'll watch snippets here or there, but I
don't listen to nor do I watch the Rogan podcast.
It's just it's I like his style and I thought
he was very good. Here's what I learned from watching
(03:46):
one hour and it was almost exactly it was like
fifty eight minutes or something that I watched. Trump would
do the weave, and I can't believe that's now part
of our vernacular.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
With his hair.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
I mean, come on, the hair, Oh my god, the
hair's just the hair's getting worse. And even he's joking
about the hair now. But he would start that weave,
and Rogan would have asked a question. You know, Rogan
asked a really good question at the beginning, you know,
what was it like? Because that's something that I think.
(04:18):
It's It's it's like when people ask me, why was
it like the first day you ever walked into the
White House? And I and I can still remember it.
I felt like a complete idiot, but I remember that day.
Rogan was really good at letting Trump kind of wander
off the reservation for a while and then gently try
(04:41):
to bring him back, and then firmly bring him back.
And Trump in that in that environment would sometimes push back,
you know, Oh now, Joe, I'm doing the weave. I
go let me, let me think about this. I'll get
back to that point. And so there was a good
balance between the two of them going back and forth.
Now I haven't looked today to see and again it's YouTube.
(05:05):
I don't have many downloads, but on YouTube there's some
thirty million I think views. And if you could be
ten seconds, thirty seven thirty seven million today, So thirty
seven million views. Now, again, I don't care whether that
is ten seconds or that's three hours or somewhere in between.
Thirty seven million views of anything is astronomical because in
(05:29):
a world where we are all afflicted with ADHD, anybody
would watch even two minutes of that interview saw a
different side of Trumpton they've seen before. Between between that
and Madison Square Garden and the twenty thousand people that
(05:53):
were inside the arena, plus the tens of fouls that
were outside the arena, I think is a good indication
of where this election is headed.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
And just as a frame of reference for previous Joe
Rogan podcasts, I'm not going to list off any names
of who else has been on his podcast, but they
range views on YouTube anywhere between five hundred thousand to
a million.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Wow. Correct, yeah, wow.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Some of them have popped up over over like three million,
three million, but a good, good average would be somewhere
between five hundred thousand and one million.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Yea. Yeah, and here we're thirty you said thirty seven million.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
Seven as of this morning.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Yeah, so there.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
I want to make a general statement before I get
into some specifics about topics. Trump on a national average
popular vote, which is meaningless kept in one sense, and
I'll explain that in a second, is now above forty
(07:04):
nine percent. He's never broken the forty seven percent glass
ceiling that has always kept him down. And Trump tends
to underpo if he's broken the glass ceiling of forty
seven percent and is nearing forty nine or is that
forty nine percent? And if that trend line continues and
(07:26):
he breaks fifty percent, Harris is not anywhere near that
at this point. And here's why. Even though it is
a meaningless number in terms of the election, because we
do fifty different state elections, here's why that national number
is important. Now it will vary by state, So some states,
(07:52):
the overall vote in a particular state may be greater
than it is in another state. But if overall, generally
Trump is beginning to break forty nine percent, then in
the swing states, if you just extrapolate that forty nine
percent out across all states, including some states like take
(08:14):
Oklahoma or Wyoming for example, Oklahoma, Wyoming, maybe Idaho, Montana
might be one of those states this year where their
electoral college votes don't really matter a lot in the
grand scheme of things. I mean, you still need them,
but they're just taken for granted. You take those and
(08:37):
if the turnout is as great in those states as
it is in other states New Jersey for example, or
Georgia or Michigan or Pennsylvania, and that forty nine percent
carries across to those states, then that means that.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
And again I don't care.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Whether it's two or three points, but if it's a
two or three point margin and he's on top of
that two or three points and the electoral college count
starts to approach, you know, well, well over two seventy.
That's because so many people are turning out. And I
(09:19):
think that's why if you step back and just kind
of objectively look at what the Harris campaign is saying
and doing. It's floundering. Now, I'm not trying to dampen
the vote. I'm not trying to suppress the vote. I'm
(09:41):
not trying to keep people in Colorado from not voting
or anywhere else where you're listening. I still want people
to go out and vote, Particularly if you happen to
drop your ballot off at a drop box and it
was set on fire, then you might just want to
make certain that you get a hold of your county
(10:02):
election board and that you get a new ballot and
you go cast that ballot again. Two things are occurring.
One the reporting, the national reporting from the cabal. Now,
these are the people that want Kamala Harris to win.
But when they start reporting on hey, you're spending too
(10:25):
much time talking about Trump as a fascist, that's not resonating.
When they start talking about that out in the open,
or they start talking about the fact that Joe Biden
has offered, Hey, I've cleared my calendar. Hey I'm available,
I can I can go somewhere. Oh you don't want
me to go, well, oh, mister president, thank you. We'll
(10:47):
call you. Don't call us, we'll call you. Kind of thing,
and then he shows up in Philadelphia or where we
showed up anyway, and that pisses off people inside the
Harris campaign. That's the best word for that is disarray.
If the best you have is that Trump is fascist,
that's built in. You've been calling Trump a Nazi for
(11:12):
ten years now.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
You even dove into a week or so ago that
almost every Republican candidate for the past thirty years has
been called the fascist fascist.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
So that's baked in. We all know that all of
us right wing nut jobs, all of us moderates, all
of us libertarians, all of those who might dare cast
a ballot for Trump, we know that he's a fascist.
We know that he's a Nazi. We know that he's
a dictator. And that's why at the end of the
twenty twenty election, on January one of twenty twenty one,
(11:45):
that's why he refused to leave the White House and
they actually had to get a bulldozer and push this
fat ass out of there. So it's all baked in
and nobody cares anymore. Inflation is started to rear its
head again, yes, so that we'll have some economic members
we'll talk about this week. But the economy is not
(12:08):
looking really good, and Kamala Harris is sitting down with
Gretchen Whitmer in a bar, dropping an F bomb, dropping
an S bomb, and admitting, you know, quietly away, he's
supposed to be listening, but oh, you know, you should
assume if you are a candidate for president, you're a
candidate for much of anything, you should assume that unless
(12:30):
you are in a room alone with no microphones anywhere,
and the door is closed and you don't see any
bugs anywhere, you've had the place bug, you should always
assume that somebody's listening. And indeed people were listening, And
in that conversation she admitted, yeah, we're not doing as
well with men as we thought we would, which, by
the way, is not a gender gap. Men are not
(12:53):
voting for Kamala Harris because she's a woman. They're not
voting for Kamala Harris because she's not a leader. She
doesn't have any good policies, she flip flops on policies,
she doesn't have anything, she doesn't have anything to offer.
So that's why men, she's not doing very well with men.
Let's get into some specifics. At least two allegedly and
(13:17):
I emphasized the word allegedly secure. Ballot drop box has
been selling fire in Oregon and in Washington State. Now,
why those two do you think those two are going
to go for Trump? No, they're not going to go
for Trump. But well, and it destroyed an So far,
we don't know the number of ballots that were inside
(13:39):
Clark County, Washington. Saw a ballot drop box billowing smoke us.
I thought it was kind of just a metaphor for
for kind of the entire country, for kind of everything
about our politics right now that if you haven't seen you,
you can find it on me in her webs. But
here are a bunch of firefight and other first responders.
(14:01):
The ballot box is smoking, their embers flying everywhere, and
they're trying to rake ballots this ballot box and they're
just they're on fire and they're burning in the smokes,
bellowing them. The embers are flying and they're trying, they're
trying to get the ballots out. Now, what are they
gonna do? Are they now going to like hanging chads
(14:22):
back during the two thousand election with Bush and Gore?
Are they now going to start like trying to peace
about Oh look, this one was not burned enough. Oh look,
we can see through the smoke damage that we think
they voted for. Oh look, they voted for Kamala Harris.
Now here's why it's important, though. Clark County sits in
(14:47):
a hotly contested congressional race. It's the third congressional district.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Hell.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
It's currently held by glusen Comp or Prez gluesen comp
Perez hypernated name. She's a Democrat. But Trump won that
district in the twenty twenty presidential election, and right now
the race is currently a toss up between Perez and
Joe Can't the Republican who's an Army Special Forces veteran.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Quote.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
This morning, at about four am, Vancouver Police responded to
an arson at a ballot box located at thirty five
Tennis on sixty fourth Avenue. It was reported that the
ballot box was smoking and on fire. They continued. Officers
arrived and located a suspicious device next to the box.
The ballot box was smoking and was on fire. Members
(15:44):
of the Metro Explosive Disposal Unit the MEEDU arrived and
safely collected the device and the fire was extinguished. According
to preliminary reports that an incendiary device appears to have
set the fire. Now, of course, we don't have any suspects,
(16:09):
and according to Park County news sources, there's no motivation
for the fire that has been identified. Yeah, I want
you to think about how insane that statement is. Do
you think a bunch of teenagers just driving around town,
you know, drinking beer, drunk driving you know, uh, you know,
(16:30):
they got a bunch of girlfriends in the back seat,
and you know everybody's trying to you know, hey, what
are we gonna do. I don't know, Let's go set
some ballot, some fire. We just happen to be in
a holly contested congressional district. Let's go set some balloting.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
I want to say, it's not a possibility. I mean,
kids back in the day used to take baseball bets
to mailboxes out front of houses. Not saying that I
did that.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
I can't imagine you've ever done that.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
But there's a difference between taking a baseball that to
a mail box as you're just driving along and pulling
into an area that is secure and that has cameras
on it or should have cameras on it, and actually
said setting a. They call it an incendiary device. Can
(17:18):
I just give a Can I just use a four
letter word in place of it?
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Bomb?
Speaker 4 (17:25):
In an inst your device?
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Just a match? Well, it could be a match too,
that's right.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
Yeah, light a matchbook and put.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
It in there, right, just put it in there. So
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
I well, unless you're an any inner city you know,
trend to a rog with gang member, you don't tend
to set things on fire. You just you you vandalize things,
you turn it over whatever. Anyway, they claim that there
were hundreds of ballots in the drop box at the
time of the fire, the last pick of the curd
(17:58):
at eleven am on a Saturday. I don't get that.
Why aren't you picking things up like like every six
hours or something.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Well, it'd be too much work, Mike. We we don't
have to do anything. We might people just throw the
ballots in the box and.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
We'll just show up all I don't know once every
couple of days and collect them. I mean, what could
possibly go wrong? This country is so backassword when it
comes to elections.
Speaker 5 (18:22):
Micha or Michael or Michelle, depending on the day. Welcome back,
fair face. I hope you have good day, suck Cregan. Yo,
fair face fair to face? Where did that come from?
Speaker 2 (18:39):
What was a fair face?
Speaker 4 (18:40):
Or let me let me see if I can pull
up the transcripture, see what the AI in our system
thinks it is. Uh, fair face, fair face, fair face,
fair face.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Well okay, I mean, you know what I would have preferred,
you know, handsome or sexy.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Or you know, something like you know, you know Atlas.
But you know, I ain't.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
Nobody thinks that I know.
Speaker 6 (19:04):
But I.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Just hope that eventually somebody somewhere will say something nice
to me.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Nope, it's not gonna happen around the year.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
So this the preliminary report about this incendiary device.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
As Dragon pointed out during the break, you know, we
don't hear about these things, uh, throughout the rest of
the year.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
Well, yeah, or at least nobody we texted in ninety
six twenty four. No one is a starting the drop
box on fire in the other three hundred days of
the year. It only happened a month prior to a
major president of election.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Yeah, because that's when the ballots are in there. There's
nothing in.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
The exactly I argue the fact that, yeahude, they're not
reported the other three hundred days.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
And I assume that I don't know that, I you know,
maybe after the election I'll go check. But I assume
those ballot box drop drop boxes like the one over
in the in Douglas County over by the Sheriff's substation
is there throughout the year, Like I don't, I mean,
since it's security bolted to the ground, they don't do
(20:10):
anything with it. Do they seal them off or what
what I mean? Or do they just get become rat
and fested or what I don't.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
But while while states continued to expand early voting and
mail in voting timelines, election officials have insisted that ballot
drop box are safe, they're secure, they're adequately monitored. But
it seems to me that kind of what happened in
(20:38):
Oregon and Washington, Vancouver and Portland kind of belies that,
doesn't it. Carol Markowitz tweeted out in other breaking news
the devices found in the ballot drop boxes in Portland,
Oregon and Vancouver, Washington were well made using thermite, are
(20:58):
made to burn the ballots explode. I hope to have
additional information to share on this soon, now, you know,
who knows made using thermite. No, come on, can't be true.
But it does remind me of a story that I watched,
you know. So I get home just in time to
you know, check the evening weather, turn over to KVR,
(21:21):
and uh, of course the World Series? Do they may
care about the World Series? Of course I want the
Dodgers to win, just because, yeah, I know, it's like, yeah,
who we should care, because we're never gonna go as
long as the Monfords owned the Rockies, We're never.
Speaker 4 (21:39):
Gonna We went that one time and lost miserably.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Exactly.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
So, so I tuned in to KDVR and they're doing
a story about the election signature verification process. So of
course it catches my eye now once again, just like
I did last week. Did you notice the little kerfu
what I got into with Kyle Clark about.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
The whole again? No, no, from last week? Did you
did you notice.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
That we'll pay attention to you outside I barely even
pay attention to you during these four.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Well that's true, that's true.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
So I played a clip from nine News on their website.
I played the entire thing and then I made the note.
I made the comment, oh but look in the story.
It talks about X, which is not mentioned in the video.
Kyle Clark jumps all over me like it, you know,
really and did. What I find most fascinating is this,
(22:34):
you can kind of tell a little bit about someone's
political beliefs or their political leanings by the people that
follow them. Now, I know that I have, uh and
I'm not gonna name any names, but I know that
I've got some hate followers that follow me on X
because every once in a while they pop up and
they start accusing me of, you know, killing people and
(22:56):
I hate people, and I'm a I'm a you know, prejudice,
racial bag whatever, like okay, just you know, just they
I've got them. I don't block them because I actually
kind of get a kick out of them. But when
you look at the people that started kind of reposting
and retweeting Kyle Clarks and I'm curious about who are they,
then you're going you find well, they're all they're all
(23:16):
Kamala Harris supporters. Well Shazam, I wonder why. Well, anyway,
so I'm watching I'm watching KDVR yesterday and they are
telling this was the evening News and they're telling us
about the signature verification process. Now, I have to admit
that I was not aware that they were doing what
(23:38):
they apparently are doing. Maybe not in all counties, but
at least where they reported.
Speaker 6 (23:43):
So it's worse one's balance are actually received.
Speaker 7 (23:45):
Fox story on political reporter Gabrielle Franklin joining us now
with how it all works in Rapo County.
Speaker 6 (23:49):
Gabrielle, Yeah, Jeremy, elections here in Colorado undergo a very
detailed verification and security process today. The clerk.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
It's detailed only in that it's simple in one regard
and then becomes very complex in another.
Speaker 6 (24:08):
And recorder's office here in a Rapaho County showed us
how ballots signatures get verified.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
Now, have you ever seen a male sorting device, you
know where the mail is just going through a machine
that just automatically shifts it into different areas based on
what it reads in the area code, the area code,
the zip code. Yeah, well picture that same thing in
your head here. Or if you've ever been been to
(24:34):
the bank and you know the bank has counted out
the bills, you know they cannot and they put it
in the machine and he goes through the machine, or
your deposit goes through the low machine and it reads,
it reads the micro code on it. You imagine a
machine something like this, he said, just kind of flat,
and the ballots are all traveling around these tracks.
Speaker 7 (24:55):
So this device is called the Agilus. We're very fortunately
we have two of them.
Speaker 6 (24:59):
This is a jealous machine and plays a very big
role in elections here in Colorado, and not only sorts
the ballots, it also helps your county election workers verify
that voters are who their records say they are.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
So a machine is doing the original signature verification.
Speaker 7 (25:16):
Every voter in Colorado has a unique barcode or every
election there never reused and specific only to that voter.
So as soon as that barcode is skinned on your
ballot envelope, if you've signed up for ballot tracks, you'll
receive one of those notices that your ballot has been
received by a Rapo County.
Speaker 6 (25:33):
Tom Skelley with the Rapahoe County Clerk and Recorder's Office says,
fifty to sixty percent of ballot signatures are verified through
this machine.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Fifty to sixty percent of signatures are verified through the machine.
So now he's going to explain to the man, there's
a camera much like the cameras on the express lanes
or on the highways or on the intersections, and they
boom boom boom boom boom boom, read your signs now.
(26:02):
I first, when I thought about that, I thought, wait
a minute, how accurate is that? Well, it turns out
fifty to sixty percent of the time they say that
the camera matches a signature. But then I got to think,
you know, then think they tell me what signature is
it that they're verifying?
Speaker 6 (26:22):
Camera inside it takes an image of the signatures.
Speaker 7 (26:25):
What it does then, is it overlays that digital image
on the most recent signature we have in a voter's files.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
Uh huh, Now that's key.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
It matches the most recent signature that you have ever done.
So now I know why that every time I just squiggle,
you know, my rem that it's reading it, because that's
what I've done for the past, you know, empten elections.
So if they're doing the same thing in Douglas County
as they're doing in a Rapaho county, well then yeah,
(26:57):
that camera is probably matching because oh yeah, that it
looks like the same squigly from last time.
Speaker 7 (27:02):
Let's say you voted in the March primary but not
the June primary. We'll have your signature from the March primary.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
We'll compare that one.
Speaker 7 (27:10):
It'll digitally overlay it automatically, and if it matches the
matches the balance.
Speaker 6 (27:15):
That don't clear this process then head to a two
tier human verification process.
Speaker 7 (27:20):
A file of it will be on screen for them
to review and they'll compare it.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
But again they're only comparing the most recent signature that
they have on file.
Speaker 7 (27:31):
To again, the most recent signature in the file, just
like the AGILISTID. If they're not confident that it's a match,
it gets set aside.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
And then in the next tier.
Speaker 7 (27:40):
Signature verification, we will have two election judges bipartisanly paired,
and they'll be sitting at these screens. They can compare
the most recent signature to every signature we have in
that voters record.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Ah.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
Now we finally get to the point where, oh, if
it doesn't match like the last time you voted, which
may have been you know, like two years ago, then
they will go back and they will look at every
signature that you've ever had, I guess since you've registered.
Speaker 7 (28:10):
So this is particularly useful as voters get older and
their signatures may change.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
You know, like me, you get older and you just
kind of, like you know, a doctor, you just kind
of squiggle a line.
Speaker 6 (28:22):
And we did confirm with the Mesa County clerk today
that their office also uses an agilous machine to verify
signatures as well assort their ballots. And if you still
have any questions about.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
It, hmm.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
So if Mason County uses the same machine and twelve
ballots got through, three of them actually ended up getting counted,
then how effective is that signature verification process? And now
we've got ballot collection boxes being burned in Washington and Oregon,
(28:59):
and we got unverified signatures being cast in Colorado. Why
is it that the United f and States of America
can't have a simple election process where you show up,
you show your ID, the clerk or one of their
(29:22):
employees or a volunteer looks up your name, Oh there
you are, checks you off or marks you off in
the computer or something that you received your ballot and
you vote and then you go into the little machine
or behind the curtain and you cast your ballot and
you come back out, you fold it properly at whatever
you're going to do, and you hand it back and
(29:43):
then they count the ballot. Oh, I know, because Americans
just want to go through the drive thru.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
You know.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
It's like every time I look at a Starbucks and
the line to the Starbucks is just as long as
can be. I'm like, once you just get to your
car and go inside. Oh, I know, the line gets
the priority. But if you're standing at the counter, somebody's
going to pay attention to you. Yeah, but we can't.
We have to complicate everything. Why Oh, because it enables cheating.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Mike.
Speaker 8 (30:17):
That was Farret's face as in the Purry Little Creature
put in all seriousness, we do appreciate you every day
you do yeoman's work, and we pick on you because
we like you.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
Speaking of pick on, I.
Speaker 5 (30:35):
Got a new name for dragon drag, a lagging ding dong.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
La day post.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
Okay, well, I appreciate that those are tinding words, and
I appreciate that. Uh, you know, I also appreciate the
fact that you should let me. You know, It's it's
funny that I I don't like to take days off,
but I love to take days off. So what I
did was Saturday, as soon as the national program was finished,
(31:09):
I ran home. Well, actually I stopped and put guts
in the car at Sam's, ran home, dragged the grabbed
the Lian Burgers, threw on the back of the jeep
Grand Cherokee, and we headed to New Mexico. And we
got there and it was just wonderful. It was full,
the leaves are pretty. It was quiet, there was a
(31:30):
chill in the air, and it was just it was quiet.
No TV, just left the TV off, read took the
dogs on walks. They were like, come on, Dad, come on,
we're walking too much where liam Burgers just want to
lay around.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
It was wonderful.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
So the other thing, but one thing I have noticed,
and I actually had a little bit of proof of
the cabal, the particularly the television networks, I think are
attempting to interfere more heavily in this election than in
any past election. Now there I would like to have
(32:14):
done the story yesterday because I'm curious, based on a
full week, whether I would say the same thing come
this Friday. Because since I put these notes together last night,
I'm beginning to think that I might be a little
wrong about this. I'm not wrong about what they've been doing.
(32:38):
What I may be wrong about is what I think
they may continue to do. If you go to the
Media Research Center that you know, Bozell his group broadcast
news coverage of Donald Trump and Harris's respective campaigns has
been almost entirely favorable or Harris and negative for Trump.
(33:07):
Here's what they write since July. This is why I
want to check it again. Since July, ABC, CBS, and
NBC have treated Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris to seventy
eight percent positive coverage, while those very same networks have
pummeled Donald Trump with eighty five percent negative coverage. Now,
(33:31):
you think about the low information voter out there, the
person who just buy us Moses, consumes the news. If
they're watching the networks, then they're getting bombarded with seventy
eight percent positive coverage of Kamala Harris and eighty five
percent negative coverage of Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
Now will they continue to do that?
Speaker 3 (33:54):
Because at some point they have to start dealing with reality.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
Now.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
The Media Research Center notes that their analysis is based
on quote explicitly of valiative statements about each candidate from
either reporters, anchors, or non partisan sources such as experts
or voters themselves. They add that the difference in coverage
(34:23):
between the two candidates is far greater today than it
was in twenty sixteen.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
Huh.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
Now, what we need to do is watch and see
do they start to turn around a little bit as
we get closer to the end of this week, because
by this weekend, it's
