Episode 65 Hour of Decision: Election Integrity This Is No Time To Let Up (SEGMENT ONE)

Speaker 0: Look around you. Wrong rules the land while waiting justice sleeps. I saw in the congress and crossing the country, campaigning with Ron Paul. Tyranny rising, unspeakable evil, manifesting, devils lying about our heritage who want to enslave and replace us. But we are Americans with a manifest destiny to bring the because this is the Hour of Decision. Speaker 1: Hour of Decision with Lou Moore starts now. Welcome to Hour of Decision. My name is Lou Moore, And this afternoon, we're gonna talk about some issues that we better not be losing track of, better not be losing sight of, even as we watch Donald Trump going wild in Washington DC on our enemies. It's been a wonder to behold, and, Bobby Kennedy Bobby Kennedy made it through the process. 51 votes. Not, not any extra ones there for RFK junior, but he did make it through the senate. So he is now the secretary of health and human services, which means that probably next week, I am gonna be reviewing his fantastic book, the real Anthony Fauci, which folks, let me tell you. If you're just gonna read one book about the health freedom issue, one book, about the issue of public health tyranny in America, that is the book that you need to read. I mean, there's just no doubt about it. It is so well documented. It doesn't just talk about the COVID. It also talks about the AIDS crisis, and it talks about the emergence of Bill Gates as a major player in world health and the UN and all the other evil thinkers and wrongdoers that were involved in this stew of evil that gave us this terrible AIDS virus and made life hell for so many people that were not able to get the proper treatment that they could have easily got with, hydroxychloroquine, with ivermectin, with other, medications that physicians all over the world had to had tremendous success with with simple, inexpensive medications that they had success with. Anyway, great book. We're gonna be talking about it be to celebrate the fact that Bobby Kennedy junior is now our secretary of health and human services. Tulsi Gabbard made it through the process. Possibly almost a miracle there. So she will now be advising the president and putting putting together, the intelligence information coming from the 16 intelligence, organizations in the intelligence community, the IC, that they have now. Unbelievable how many agencies they have, involved in this game. And her job is gonna be to co, coalesce all of that intelligence and give it to the president in a factual manner and in a manner that makes some sense to him. So many things going on around the world and so many bureaucrats assembling intelligence information here in America. Looks like Cash is gonna make it. He's, as the tie at the time of this recording, he, made it through the committee process, and, he has not yet been voted on, before the full senate. A little bit of extra angst with Cash because of all the FBI personnel that have been fired, in the last few days. Fired or, demands made upon them to explain themselves in terms of their behavior primarily. I think at this point, they're investigating FBI assets who may have been involved with j six. So, anyway, some people upset with Cash about this roundup even though I don't think he had anything to do with it, although he probably was cheering it cheering it on. Anyhow, some angst there, but, he made it through committee. And, so now there's just gonna be the big floor vote. So Bobby in, Tulsi in, Pam Bondi in, Russell Vought in at OMB, another big one for president Trump. And, of course, he's involved, with his major dust up going on, involving, big government. He's, he's out to the side a little bit, but he's pretty much front and center in the fight that Doge is waging, with the evil powers within big government. So all these folks made it through. These are some of the most important picks that president Trump had. Very good. That is very, very good indeed. So we're not gonna be talking about that kind of stuff. We're gonna be talking about a couple of issues. Well, in one case, an issue that we should double down on, folks. We maybe got involved with it because of what happened to Trump in 2020. I'm talking about the elections now. May have gotten involved with it because of our concern about this last election, but now since Trump won, everything's great. No problem. Election system, oh, it's in pretty good shape. It's not, folks. Election system's not in pretty good shape. It's in terrible shape, and we have to stay laser focused on continuing to work the problem of our crooked, decrepit, ancient, incompetent electoral system in America. So, long time ago, back in the eighteen hundreds, when nobody gave you a ride to the polls, when you didn't in most almost all cases, you didn't have the option of absentee ballots. When you weren't allowed to register online in your pajamas in your house, when you weren't able to go get registered to vote while you were getting your driver's license. And I I can go on and on with all the ways they have tried to make it easier to vote. None of those things were available to Americans in the later eighteen hundreds. You might have to go 10 miles in an ox cart to vote. Not unusual at all since most of America was still rural in the late eighteen hundreds. But why am I bringing up the late eighteen hundreds? It's because our turnout for elections in the late eighteen hundreds was generally somewhere in the neighborhood of 80 to 85%, depending on whether you were talking about, the presidential elections or, you know, off year elections, local elections. They did vary, but the turnout, extremely high during that time. And it fluctuated from then until the present. But, generally, turnout went down and down and down and has been as low as, like, 52%, for a presidential election, in the twentieth century. That's people who are already registered, folks. And that's not that's not 52% of the population eligible to vote. I'm talking about registered voters, and there were a lot fewer of them. That number kept going down and down over time. There are blips up, you know, up and down, fluctuations, but generally a downward trend in the twentieth century. So our masters, the powers that be, were, wanted to fix this. This is just a terrible thing, this low participation. And now I have to say, why was the participation so low? The establishment would like you to believe it's because you couldn't register at the DMV, because you couldn't just walk in on election day and vote, because you had to go vote in person, because of this and that and all these other reasons that I've already shown you were not true because of the high turnout in the eighteen hundreds. The reason, folks, the reason that, people, were turning out in lower and lower numbers with some fluctuations, with some exceptions throughout the twentieth century was because these candidates were part this bipartisan consensus I talk about frequently on this show, and there was just not that much disagreement between the parties. George Wallace said there's not a dime's worth of difference between the Republicans and the Democrats. You can find a number of other folks expressing that sentiment, which really struck a nerve with a part of the electorate when those sentiments were expressed. But there was just a lot of boredom with national elections and, you know, the people that are taking money and then, you know, and then what issues are not being discussed? Trade's not being discussed. Immigration's not being discussed. A lot of, aspects of our foreign policy not being discussed. Just the same old thing. Are we gonna raise your taxes? The other side is gonna wants taxpayer you know, with taxes only, cuts for the rich. Oh, no. We want it for everybody. And just kind of the back and forth, the same old thing. And not that these issues didn't have some saliency, that didn't have some importance, but they weren't quite getting at the heart of the matter as we have been doing in this country since the arrival of Donald Trump. So my argument is, as this discourse got more and more homogenized, more bland, more papered over by, media by image creators, by media experts. When when elections were more and more catered catered, to the person that was, low information watching the thirty second TV ad during, the Price is Right or, you know, one of the other game shows, that turnout went down despite the fact that then, you know, starting, particularly in the nineties, Motor Voter, I think, came in in 1993. Side note there, motorvoter came from a congressman in the district I lived in, the congressman that served just prior to my old boss, Jack Metcalfe, congressman by name of Al Swift, was the prime sponsor of the motor voter bill, which said that every DMV in America, if you want to get any federal money for anything you were doing in that state, you had to be registering people to vote when they came in to get their driver's license. So, that was just one example of making it easier to vote, but, you know, it didn't have that effect. It didn't have the effect. And so then we start getting, you know, then we had the Hanging Chad election, election of two thousand, where, obviously, there were some big problems down in Broward County, Florida, problems that I by the way, I would have to say that, governor DeSantis has done a great job ameliorating, dealing with down in Florida, cleaning that system up incredibly and in a very short time, I might add. But, so then there was a big push that went on after that for the federal government to convince, election officials around the country that they need to computerize and mechanize the entire voter process. And so that meant, electronic computer, electronic tabulation machines, as well as machines that took in the votes, when you went to the polling place. And so that spread like wildfire because the feds were paying for it. They were paying for this equipment, and it's a lot easier on the election workers. I'm not saying it's a better system. It's a terrible system. But election workers like it. Election administrators like it because they don't have to find hundreds of recruits whether they pay them or not. And most states do pay, election workers now that would come to a polling place, say, in your neighborhood and set up up set up the polls for election day. They have to find these people, and they'd rather not have to do that. And so now they don't because, there are not very many places in America where there are neighborhood polling stations. And, so the trend, increasingly, was toward automating elections, centralizing elections, also getting rid of the neighborhood precinct, another really bad idea, because that also affects caucuses. I won't go down too far down that road in this episode, but, it takes it out of the neighborhood and makes it more mechanized, centralized, impersonal, and it makes people wait in very long lines, which they don't like doing. So instead of doing that, they vote by mail, which was another innovation if it could be called that. Absentee ballots go all the way back to, like, the revolutionary war, but it was almost exclusively focused on soldiers until fairly recently. And, then it was focused, you know, for a while on seniors and soldiers. And then it was focused on seniors and soldiers and those who could provide an excuse. Let's say I'm out of town, on a business trip. I cannot boat that day. And, but it they just kept migrating. And with COVID, there were already several states migrating toward what's called universal mail in ballots. But with COVID, we had an onslaught of states that, pretty much eradicated the rest of their voting system in favor of voting by mail, which has a number of serious problems. So, there's all this effort to make it easier to vote, and there were concerns about the method of voting in terms of the count. And all of these machines are so accurate. They're so much more accurate. But, you know, I was concerned about it making it easy for people to register to vote. And at one time, around the country, in most places, you have to register thirty days before an election because it would take reasonably couple weeks for, workers at the clerk's office or, you know, whoever was administrating the election in your area, to check you out, you know, make sure you really did live at 123 South Main Street, that, you really were who you said you were. And, of course, you also had to show ID. Of course, people are moving in from out of state, but, you know, you were supposed to show ID. If you didn't have your new ID yet, you were supposed to show your ID from the state where you came from, if you came from out of state. So that's how it used to work, but now but once, the election machinery, was started to bend over backwards in every regard, in every single regard to make it easier, make it easier for everybody, not make it safer, not make it more secure, but to make it easier. Then they one by one, they start getting rid of the requirement for a photo ID, the requirement to even be registered to vote on election day. People can walk in in many states like my state here in Utah. You can walk in and say, oh, Jeepers, I I forgot to register or whatever, and they give you a provisional ballot. So then they put discovery and investigation to make sure that you're a valid voter on the back end of the process after you've already voted. And that's not at the end of the process where election officials are more likely to be more thorough about what they are doing. And so these there's these provisional ballots now in fairly large numbers. And a lot of the elections coming from people who have no ID, have no evidence that they registered, and and wanna vote. They're they're at some voting facility because they're getting ready precincts at some voting center or they're down at the clerk's office, and they wanna vote. And so this is becoming more common around the country in all these things that reduce the identification process and registration that prevent the storage of ballots. I mean, when when when you are, in other words, you're not preventing the storage of ballots if you're letting people vote for three weeks before election. I didn't mention early voting. I mentioned mail in voting. And what goes with mail in voting is early voting, where you can go to two or three voting centers in your county or go to at least down to the courthouse. And instead of voting by mail, instead of, putting your ballot in the mail with a stamp or putting your ballot in a drop box, which is a whole another topic, you are able to go to this facility wherever it is and, several days before the election and vote, you know, with a booth and all that. But then the votes are warehoused. They're being stored. They can be tampered with. All of these things make the election less secure. Having anything over the Internet, and they say these machines, oh, they're not connected to the Internet in any way, but yet they find out that basically they all are connected to the Internet, in some way. Whether it's just, reporting, the returns to the news media, or the anyway, it turns out folks, they are, and they can be even if they're not. Even if the system is set up in a county, in Bogalusa County, the system set up where, oh, no. We are not going to allow Internet to be involved with this. That's very insecure. We'll never allow that. But a lot of these machines can respond to a signal from a modem. They're all set up to, be, to be accessed remotely. Whether the intention of the, county clerk in that particular instance is to, activate the, Internet capability or not. They have it anyway. We're we have found this out in places all over the country because all these is all these machines are capable of being on the Internet, of being accessed remotely over the Internet. So over time, more and more insecurity in the system, chain of custody issues, storage issues, identification issues at every turn, and and no turn in the road. Is there anybody out there, except some lone nuts, some extremists out there, trying to make this system safer. Instead, they just wanted to make it easier to vote. The most important thing is make it easier to vote. And what's the truth, folks? Election participation has been going up, and you hear these people saying, oh, is it? See? We told you. If there's gonna be mail in, if there are mail in ballots, universal mail in ballots, it would be so much safer. I mean, and not only safer, a lot more people would vote. But the truth is, folks, a a lot of these areas with the COVID and whatnot, they they put in this easier voting after the dynamics of elections, particularly national elections in this country, changed dramatically, where elections were nationalized because of the coverage that they receive in talk radio and on the Internet and on social media. And, it got it's partisanship. It's sharp differences of opinion. It's sharp demarcations between the two sides. That is what they had in the late eighteen hundreds that caused a tremendous turnout, and that is what has been increasing in our elections because of, dare I say it, because of our president and his ways and his ways of speaking and what he wants to do to make America great again, which is not have it be a corporate homogenized society with two fake candidates running for everything. He wants to make, he wants a nationalist program that is very distinct, and it is very distinct from what the Democrats want. And so that is why turnout has gone up and up and up and through the roof in some places. Huge turnout. 90%, over 90%. But then, for the for the intrepid researcher, I can show you more than a few precincts, folks, in the last few years where turnout's been over a %. It's been so enthusiastic. This new partisan environment we're in, where Republicans are more animated to vote, where Democrats are more animated to vote, where turnout has actually been over 100%. Can you believe it? I can believe it because we have a lot of problems with our election system. Just trying to tell you. You are listening to the hour of decision on Liberty News Radio, and we will be right back with more discussion of our elections after the news.
