Democracy Under Attack! Supreme Court in Colorado Nixes Trump · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:01
Speaker 1: Democracy under attack.
0:03
Speaker 2: The Supreme Court has in Colorado has disqualified Trump.
0:09
Speaker 1: This is not a joke. From the twenty twenty four ballot.
0:13
Speaker 2: Colorado Supreme Court ruled in a four to three opinion
0:17
Speaker 2: that the Constitution's insurrection clause quote unquote prohibits former President
0:25
Speaker 2: Donald Trump from appearing on the ballot for the presidency
0:28
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty four. Now, this will be appealed to
0:32
Speaker 2: the Supreme Court. I have no doubt that the Supreme
0:36
Speaker 2: Court will overrule. But let me tell you what Colorado
0:40
Speaker 2: is trying to do, and there's a good chance that
0:42
Speaker 2: other states may do the same thing.
0:45
Speaker 1: Quote.
0:46
Speaker 2: The Court found, by clear and convincing evidence, the President
0:49
Speaker 2: Trump engaged an insurrection, as those terms are used in
0:54
Speaker 2: Section three of the Fourteenth Amendment.
0:57
Speaker 1: The ruling reads the.
1:00
Speaker 2: Provocating ruling particularly reverses a prior ruling from Colorado District
1:04
Speaker 2: Judge Sarah Wallace, who ruled in November that Trump is
1:08
Speaker 2: not an officer of the United States is defined by
1:10
Speaker 2: the Fourteenth Amendment, and that the Amendment therefore cannot be
1:15
Speaker 2: used to disqualify him by appearing on the Colorado primary ballot.
1:21
Speaker 2: In his dissent, the Chief Justice in Colorado, Boatwright wrote,
1:26
Speaker 2: quote dismissal is particularly appropriate here because the electors brought
1:30
Speaker 2: their challenge without a determination from a preceding a prosecution
1:36
Speaker 2: for an insurrection related offense with more rigorous procedures to
1:41
Speaker 2: ensure adequate due process, in particularly reversing Wallace. The Court
1:48
Speaker 2: all but dared the US Supreme Court to step in
1:52
Speaker 2: by January the fourth of twenty twenty four saying this quote.
1:57
Speaker 1: If review is sought.
1:59
Speaker 2: And the Supreme Court before the state expires on January
2:02
Speaker 2: January the fourth, twenty fourteen, then the state shall remain
2:06
Speaker 2: in place and the Secretary will continue to be required
2:09
Speaker 2: to include President Trump's name on the twenty twenty fourth
2:13
Speaker 2: presidential primary ballot until the receipt of any order or
2:18
Speaker 2: mandate from the Supreme Court. The ruling states, Now, the
2:22
Speaker 2: Court disagreed with Trump's claims that his actions were protected
2:26
Speaker 2: free speech, saying this, we consider and reject President Trump's
2:32
Speaker 2: argument that his free speech on January the sixth was
2:35
Speaker 2: protected by the First Amendment. The ruling reads, seemingly ignoring
2:39
Speaker 2: Trump's calls for the day that day for protesters to
2:42
Speaker 2: conduct themselves quote peacefully and patriotically.
2:45
Speaker 1: He said that multiple times.
2:48
Speaker 2: Now, the fact that at one point during his speech,
2:50
Speaker 2: President Trump said this, everyone here will soon be marching
2:54
Speaker 2: to the Capitol Building to peacefully and patriotically make your
2:58
Speaker 2: voices heard does not persuade us that the district court
3:03
Speaker 2: aired in finding that the first prong of the Brandenburg
3:08
Speaker 2: test was met. They went on to say, and this
3:11
Speaker 2: is when it gets into some legal jargon, but I
3:13
Speaker 2: want you to hear what they said.
3:14
Speaker 1: See Thompson five to ninety f. Sup.
3:17
Speaker 2: Third at one thirteen Dash fourteen. This isolated reference cannot
3:23
Speaker 2: insulate the President from the motion to dismiss. As a result,
3:27
Speaker 2: the court determined only President Trump's speech proadly involved words
3:32
Speaker 2: of incitement not protected by the First Amendment. Is what
3:35
Speaker 2: they said in their response. Now, the Court's unilateral determination
3:40
Speaker 2: that Trump engaged in insurrection comes despite Trump having never
3:45
Speaker 2: been convicted of that or any other crime, or even
3:48
Speaker 2: been charged in court with a crime of insurrection. He
3:52
Speaker 2: was acquitted by the US Senate of charges of engaging
3:54
Speaker 2: an insurrection, and continues to say, obviously there was no wrongdoing.
4:01
Speaker 2: In support of its legal assertion, the Colorado Supreme Court
4:05
Speaker 2: cited the US House January sixth Select Committee I'm not joking.
4:10
Speaker 2: That same Stack committee that didn't play by the rules,
4:13
Speaker 2: that put two Trump haters on there, one of them
4:16
Speaker 2: Liz Cheney who's on MSNBC every single day. They said,
4:20
Speaker 2: not only were they going to cite the US House
4:23
Speaker 2: January sixth Select Committee, notwithstanding that Trump was acquitted by
4:27
Speaker 2: the House charges in the Senate. Unsurprisingly, the all Democratic
4:31
Speaker 2: porn appointed Colorado Supreme Court has ruled against President Trump,
4:35
Speaker 2: supporting a Soros funded left wing group scheme to interfere
4:38
Speaker 2: in an election on behalf of Crook and Joe Biden
4:41
Speaker 2: by removing President Trump's name from the ballot and eliminating
4:45
Speaker 2: the right of Colorado voters to vote for the candidate
4:49
Speaker 2: of their choice. Democratic Party leaders are in a state
4:53
Speaker 2: of paranoia over the growing dominantly President Trump as a
4:57
Speaker 2: mass in the polls. They have lost FAI and the
5:00
Speaker 2: failed Biden presidency and are now doing everything they can
5:03
Speaker 2: to stop American voters from throwing them out of office
5:06
Speaker 2: next November. The Colorado Supreme Court issued a completely flawed
5:11
Speaker 2: decision tonight, and we will swiftly file an appeal to
5:14
Speaker 2: the United States Supreme Court and a concurrent request for
5:17
Speaker 2: a stay of this deeply undemocratic decision. We have full
5:23
Speaker 2: confidence that the Supreme Court will quickly rule in our
5:25
Speaker 2: favor and finally put an end to these Unamerican lawsuits.
5:30
Speaker 2: In another dissent, Justice Carlos Samor wrote, given the current
5:34
Speaker 2: absence of federal legislation to and four section three, and
5:38
Speaker 2: given that President Trump has not been charged PURSUINGT Section
5:42
Speaker 2: twenty three eighty three, the District Court should have granted
5:45
Speaker 2: his September the twenty ninth motion to dismiss that justice continued.
5:50
Speaker 2: The court received and considered a partial congressional report, the
5:54
Speaker 2: admissibility of which is not beyond reproach. I have been
5:58
Speaker 2: involved in the justice system for thirty three years now,
6:01
Speaker 2: and what took place here doesn't resemble anything I've seen
6:04
Speaker 2: in a courtroom. The Colorado lawsuit is one of many
6:10
Speaker 2: filed in states across the country citing the insurrection clause
6:14
Speaker 2: for booting Trump from the ballot. Liberal groups strategically filed
6:18
Speaker 2: cases and jurisdictions across the country to keep Trump off
6:21
Speaker 2: the ballot and what his supporters have termed lawfare. But
6:26
Speaker 2: Trump has received favorable outcomes already in New Hampshire, in Minnesota,
6:32
Speaker 2: in Michigan and before Tuesday ruling was overruled Colorado. Now,
6:37
Speaker 2: the Supreme Court has never root ruled definitively, I should say.
6:41
Speaker 2: Let me say that again, the Supreme Court has never
6:46
Speaker 2: ruled definitively on the meaning of Section three of the
6:50
Speaker 2: Fourteenth Amendment. Ballots for Colorado's primary, which take place March
6:56
Speaker 2: the fifth of twenty twenty four, be certified by January fifth,
7:03
Speaker 2: leading to the Colorado Supreme Court's deadline for the US
7:06
Speaker 2: Supreme Court to act or he will be off the ballot.
7:11
Speaker 2: This is an abuse of power on which we have
7:15
Speaker 2: not seen, a level that we have not seen. Everybody
7:19
Speaker 2: knows that this is woke activists, judges who are on
7:24
Speaker 2: the Supreme Court of Colorado, who are Democrats, who are
7:29
Speaker 2: trying to interfere with the presidential election. This is election interference.
7:36
Speaker 2: But once you cross that line, and they have crossed
7:41
Speaker 2: that line. Once you cross that line, Democrats have decided,
7:47
Speaker 2: we'll continue to cross it over and over and over
7:50
Speaker 2: and over and over and over again. They don't care
7:56
Speaker 2: what the law say, they don't care about the fewture
8:00
Speaker 2: of this country when it comes to precedent or the
8:05
Speaker 2: issue of democracy.
8:06
Speaker 1: They just don't care.
8:09
Speaker 2: The only thing they seem to care about is abuse
8:12
Speaker 2: of power, and.
8:13
Speaker 1: That's now where we are.
8:15
Speaker 2: For more than ten years, Patriot Mobile has been America's
8:18
Speaker 2: only Christian conservative wireless provider. They stand behind their values
8:24
Speaker 2: and they stand behind exceptional service. They're an example of
8:28
Speaker 2: putting the cause a head of profit, and that is

Speaker 2: me just pause for a moment and give you the
9:48
Speaker 2: statement that came from the Trump campaign after the ruling
9:52
Speaker 2: came down from Colorado's Supreme Court quote. Unsurprisingly, the aldemic
10:00
Speaker 2: credit appointed Kylorada Supreme Court is rule against President Trump
10:03
Speaker 2: supporting a Soros funded left wing group scheme to interfere
10:07
Speaker 2: in an election on behalf of krook of Joe Biden
10:10
Speaker 2: by removing President Trump's name from the ballot and eliminating
10:13
Speaker 2: the right of Colorado voters to vote for the candidate
10:16
Speaker 2: of their choice. Democratic Party leaders are in a state
10:20
Speaker 2: of paranoia over the growing dominant lead President Trump has
10:24
Speaker 2: amassed in the polls. They have lost faith in the
10:26
Speaker 2: Pail Biden presidency and are now doing everything they can
10:29
Speaker 2: to stop the American voters from throwing them out of
10:32
Speaker 2: office next November. The Kylorado Supreme Court issued a completely
10:37
Speaker 2: flawed decision tonight, and we will swiftly file an appeal
10:41
Speaker 2: to the United States Supreme Court and a concurrent request
10:45
Speaker 2: to stay of this deeply undemocratic decision. We have full
10:51
Speaker 2: confidence that the US Supreme Court will quickly rule in
10:53
Speaker 2: our favor and finally put an end to these Unamerican lawsuits.
10:57
Speaker 2: There is nothing in there that I don't agree, I
11:00
Speaker 2: don't disagree with, Like this is spot on.
11:05
Speaker 1: There's nothing in there.
11:06
Speaker 2: Let me rephrase that there's nothing in there I don't
11:09
Speaker 2: fully agree with, like one thousand percent. You have a
11:14
Speaker 2: Colorado Supreme Court run by woe liberals who have decided
11:19
Speaker 2: to go rogue and abuse their power.
11:21
Speaker 1: And what they're.
11:22
Speaker 2: Doing is they're encouraging election interference. They're encouraging that election
11:28
Speaker 2: interference by doing this ruling, hoping that other states will
11:33
Speaker 2: follow suit and do the same thing. That's the biggest
11:36
Speaker 2: problem here, and it's unbelievably vile and disgusting that they
11:42
Speaker 2: would be willing to do it this way, Which brings
11:45
Speaker 2: me back to what Levin wrote about the Democratic Party.
11:50
Speaker 1: He said this if.
11:52
Speaker 2: The Democratic party, their media, and their academics cannot rewrite
11:58
Speaker 2: the Constitution by interpretation, then they argue for abolishing it
12:02
Speaker 2: all together and replacing it with a more quote relevant document.
12:06
Speaker 2: That's the Democrats' words, that is, a document that ensures
12:09
Speaker 2: their monopoly power and destroyers are founding principles. After all,
12:14
Speaker 2: how many times have they told us that the Constitution
12:17
Speaker 2: was written by slaveholders, that perpetutes racism and inequity, and
12:23
Speaker 2: is illegitimate right.
12:24
Speaker 1: They've been saying that a lot lately. You notice that
12:27
Speaker 1: the same kind.
12:28
Speaker 2: Of fraudulent approach is now before us with respect to
12:30
Speaker 2: Section three of the fourteenth Amendment. He then says, here's
12:34
Speaker 2: the text that these constitutional sabotage ors in the name
12:38
Speaker 2: of the Constitution are desperately and cravingly insisting prevents the
12:42
Speaker 2: former president Donald Trump from effectively running for a.
12:46
Speaker 1: Second presidential term.
12:48
Speaker 2: It says this, no person shall be a senator, representative
12:52
Speaker 2: in Congress, or elector of President and vice president, or
12:56
Speaker 2: hold any office civil or military under the United States
13:00
Speaker 2: are under any state who having previously taken an oath
13:04
Speaker 2: as a member of Congress or as an officer of
13:07
Speaker 2: the United States, or as a member of any state legislature,
13:11
Speaker 2: or as an executive or judicial officer of any state,
13:14
Speaker 2: to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have
13:18
Speaker 2: engaged an insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given
13:23
Speaker 2: aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may,
13:27
Speaker 2: by a vote of two thirds of each House, remove
13:31
Speaker 2: such disloyalty or disability quote. Levin writes, you need not
13:41
Speaker 2: be an aging, retired judge, a washed up former law professor,
13:46
Speaker 2: or never trumper academia in academia to notice that the
13:51
Speaker 2: word president quote unquote cannot be found in this text.
13:56
Speaker 2: So why would the amendments, drafters, adopters, and ratifiers all
14:01
Speaker 2: exclude the word president from the text but include virtually
14:06
Speaker 2: every other form of officeholder federal and state, elected and
14:09
Speaker 2: appointed in the text.
14:11
Speaker 1: Did they forget to add the word president?
14:14
Speaker 2: Or could the reason possibly be that they did not
14:17
Speaker 2: want to include the word president and therefore intentionally did not.
14:23
Speaker 2: Of course, there is nothing anywhere that even suggests the drafters,
14:27
Speaker 2: the adopters, or ratifiers intended otherwise. It took two Levin
14:33
Speaker 2: Wright's never Trumper law professors, members of the Federalist Society
14:38
Speaker 2: know less joining the Democratic Party mob over one hundred
14:42
Speaker 2: and twenty five pages. They wrote to try to convince
14:45
Speaker 2: us that by admitting the word president, not only did
14:48
Speaker 2: the drafters, adopters, and ratifiers intend to include the president,
14:53
Speaker 2: but the proper interpretation of the amendment and its construction
14:58
Speaker 2: and application make it undeniable and clear. In fact, so
15:03
Speaker 2: clear are these professors and their ilk that we are
15:07
Speaker 2: supposed to uh look at this and say, oh, we know,
15:12
Speaker 2: we understood, or we can read the minds of the
15:16
Speaker 2: intentions of the drafters, the adopters, and runifiers by, among
15:19
Speaker 2: other things, the words as an officer of the United
15:22
Speaker 2: States quote unquote. Thus this phrase, we are told, should
15:26
Speaker 2: be read to include the word president, quote unquote. Therefore,
15:31
Speaker 2: there was no need to single out by name the
15:34
Speaker 2: most powerful and important governmental official in the entire country. Consequently,
15:39
Speaker 2: the argument goes, of course, the president was intended to
15:42
Speaker 2: be included in the amendment by general reference to quote
15:45
Speaker 2: the word officer any why not question mark? After all,
15:50
Speaker 2: the local South Carolina County commissioner was not specifically mentioned either.
15:57
Speaker 2: This is preposterous, Levin writes, for most people, the absurdity
16:02
Speaker 2: is self evident. Indeed, if they intend to include the
16:05
Speaker 2: word president, or the president.
16:08
Speaker 1: You'd think he would not only be mentioned.
16:10
Speaker 2: But that he'd be at the top of the list
16:12
Speaker 2: of officials included in the text. In fact, they even
16:16
Speaker 2: mentioned elector of president and vice president, but not the
16:19
Speaker 2: president himself. Moreover, what does the phrase shall have engaged
16:25
Speaker 2: in insurrection and rebellion against the United States of America mean?
16:30
Speaker 2: If you're going to bar the leading Republican candidate for
16:33
Speaker 2: the presidency from even appearing on a state ballot, thereby
16:38
Speaker 2: disenfranchising untold numbers of citizens who would like to vote
16:43
Speaker 2: for him and potentially alter the course the outcome of
16:45
Speaker 2: a presidential election, there should be some definitive way to
16:49
Speaker 2: know what this phrase means and who gets to make
16:52
Speaker 2: that decision. Obviously, as the Fourteenth Amendment is one of
16:57
Speaker 2: these so called Civil War amendments, we know what was
17:01
Speaker 2: meant when the amendment was ratified, engaging an insurrection or
17:05
Speaker 2: rebellion on behalf of the Confederacy and against the Union
17:10
Speaker 2: aka the Civil War. It wasn't very difficult to figure
17:13
Speaker 2: out who did or who or did not engage in
17:16
Speaker 2: such activities or what was meant by insurrection or rebellion.
17:21
Speaker 2: They didn't need law professors or members of the Democratic
17:24
Speaker 2: Party the party of the Confederacy to tell them either.
17:29
Speaker 2: But did the drafters adopters and ratifiers in ten section
17:33
Speaker 2: three to apply beyond the death of the last Confederate
17:38
Speaker 2: question mark? Of course, there's no evidence that it did,
17:42
Speaker 2: other than the wishful meanderings and self serving declarations of
17:48
Speaker 2: the proponents. Strangely, however, if that was the true intention
17:53
Speaker 2: and purpose, the amendment doesn't provide any guidance on how
17:57
Speaker 2: these decisions would be presented and resolved in the case
18:00
Speaker 2: of a presidential candidate or president. I say strangely because
18:05
Speaker 2: the Constitutional Convention the framers spent a great deal of
18:07
Speaker 2: time debating and working through the way we elect presidents.
18:12
Speaker 2: They came up with the electoral college system. It didn't
18:16
Speaker 2: take long until it was evident that even that process
18:20
Speaker 2: needed some adjustments, hence the twelfth Amendment to the Constitution.
18:25
Speaker 2: If in eighteen sixty eight the Drafters Adopters and Ratifiers
18:29
Speaker 2: the fourteen Amendment intended it not only to apply to
18:32
Speaker 2: a presidential candidate or president, but knew it could upset
18:36
Speaker 2: the presidential election process, why did they say absolutely nothing
18:40
Speaker 2: about it? For example, how is it determined whether a
18:45
Speaker 2: presidential candidate or president engaged in an insurrection or rebellion
18:50
Speaker 2: against the United States when he has not been charged with,
18:54
Speaker 2: let alone convicted of such offense. Levin writes, you won't
18:58
Speaker 2: find the answer and amendment that would seem to be
19:02
Speaker 2: an essential question in need of a defentive answer. Did
19:07
Speaker 2: the men behind section three in ten that a presidential
19:09
Speaker 2: can be barred from a state ballot based merely on
19:13
Speaker 2: accusations and accusations from whom the media, the Democratic Party, officials, operatives, litigators,
19:23
Speaker 2: those in academia, never trumpers. In fact, the second impeachment
19:28
Speaker 2: trial against Trump fell well short of the number of
19:31
Speaker 2: senators need to convict him for the events of January
19:34
Speaker 2: the sixth. As a result, he was not barred under
19:37
Speaker 2: Article one, Section three of the Constitution from holding and
19:40
Speaker 2: enjoying any office of honor, trust, or profit under the
19:44
Speaker 2: United States, quote unquote. If anything, there was a constitutional
19:49
Speaker 2: adjudication in Trump's favor. Indeed, on January the fourth, forty
19:55
Speaker 2: eight hours before the so called January sixth insurrection, President
19:59
Speaker 2: Trump offered to call up ten thousand National Guardenmen to
20:03
Speaker 2: protect the Capitol Building in Congress during the official electoral
20:07
Speaker 2: College count the Democratic Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and the DC
20:12
Speaker 2: Democratic mayor refused the offer. These facts are intentionally ignored
20:19
Speaker 2: by the Biden regime Special Council, as they were by
20:22
Speaker 2: the Democratic Party. So the so called January sixth Committee
20:27
Speaker 2: and the insurrection that took place admitted the fact that Trump,
20:31
Speaker 2: on January the fourth, forty eight hours before the so
20:33
Speaker 2: called insurrection, offered ten thousand National guardsmen to protect the
20:38
Speaker 2: Capitol Building.
20:40
Speaker 1: Why do they ignore it?
20:41
Speaker 2: They ignored it because the President clearly is not engaged
20:45
Speaker 2: in an insurrection or rebellion when he offers thousands of
20:48
Speaker 2: armed troops to do precisely the opposite. Moreover, does any
20:54
Speaker 2: serious scholar believe that the post Civil War Congress was
20:59
Speaker 2: so commit it to preserving federalism that it would have
21:04
Speaker 2: written an amendment given a single state the power to
21:07
Speaker 2: up in a federal presidential election. Would that Congress have
21:12
Speaker 2: believed when it was drafting and adopting Section three that
21:16
Speaker 2: it was granting power to a state official, say a
21:19
Speaker 2: Secretary of State or attorney general, to unilaterally bar a
21:24
Speaker 2: leading presidential candidate from the state's ballot, thereby possibly affecting
21:29
Speaker 2: the outcome of a national election, or for that matter,
21:33
Speaker 2: even a state legislature.
21:35
Speaker 1: No way.
21:37
Speaker 2: Indeed, the post Civil War congresses were mostly hostile to states' rights.
21:42
Speaker 2: Several Southern states remained occupied militarily in their territories until
21:47
Speaker 2: they capitulated to the demands of the federal government.
21:52
Speaker 1: So what does this mean?
21:53
Speaker 2: I want to go back to what Mark Levin wrote
21:55
Speaker 2: about this and what the Constitution actually says, what the
21:58
Speaker 2: Fourteenth Amendment actually says.
22:01
Speaker 1: He says quote.
22:02
Speaker 2: Putting aside all the issues raised previously, one can only
22:05
Speaker 2: imagine the Pandora's box this would open. It was not
22:11
Speaker 2: opened by the drafters, adopters, and rightifiers of the Fourteenth Amendment.
22:16
Speaker 2: It is being opened by modern day sabatiers of the Constitution.
22:22
Speaker 2: This entire movement is a vile assault on the electoral
22:27
Speaker 2: process directed at a single individual, Donald Trump. There is
22:30
Speaker 2: absolutely no constitutional basis for it. However, if it somehow succeeds,
22:36
Speaker 2: the implications will live far beyond today. We are left
22:39
Speaker 2: not with the rule of law, but the rule of men,
22:43
Speaker 2: and in this case, the rule of Democratic Party officials
22:46
Speaker 2: and operatives and their academic allies. The Party of the
22:51
Speaker 2: Confederacy once again seeks to nullify the federal constitution and
22:55
Speaker 2: the nation's electoral system, disenfranchising tens of millions of voters nationwide,
23:02
Speaker 2: and push the country towards its breaking point from which
23:05
Speaker 2: we may never recover. Levin also says this, It's worth
23:09
Speaker 2: remembering that the Democratic Party and its surrogates are a powerful,
23:14
Speaker 2: hungry lot. They are also driving other dangerously illegitimate and
23:19
Speaker 2: self serving attacks on our voting system. How many times
23:24
Speaker 2: have we heard from Democratic politicians, academics, media, and activists
23:29
Speaker 2: that the electoral college should be abolished, that it is
23:32
Speaker 2: a racist system set up by white slaveholders to perpetute racism, etc.
23:38
Speaker 2: Of course, this is another anti American line. The purpose
23:42
Speaker 2: of electoral college is, among others, to ensure that all
23:46
Speaker 2: parts of the country have a say in the election
23:48
Speaker 2: of a president and vice president, not just the most
23:51
Speaker 2: populous areas, and to prevent mob role by way of
23:55
Speaker 2: unchecked majoritarianism. Thus, the electoral College is an institutional block
24:03
Speaker 2: on the Democratic Party's efforts to monopolize our voting system.
24:07
Speaker 2: Since the most well popular, densally populated areas of the
24:11
Speaker 2: nation are run by you guessed it, democrats, the Democratic
24:15
Speaker 2: Party is behind another unconstitutional scheme that seeks to disenfranchise
24:20
Speaker 2: tens of millions of Americans, specifically Republican voters, so they
24:25
Speaker 2: called national Popular movement. They call it the National Popular
24:31
Speaker 2: Vote Movement. It involves an interstate compact in which states agree,
24:36
Speaker 2: in advance of actual voting to assign their electoral College
24:40
Speaker 2: votes to the candidate who nationally receives the largest number
24:44
Speaker 2: of popular votes, even if that candidate loses the popular
24:49
Speaker 2: vote in their own state. This new movement, the National
24:53
Speaker 2: Popular Vote Movement, is only triggered once enough states reached
24:57
Speaker 2: the two to seventy majority under the electoral college system.
25:01
Speaker 2: So far, the states that have joined the compact hold
25:04
Speaker 2: one hundred and ninety six electoral votes.
25:07
Speaker 1: They're getting close, markle Van warns.
25:10
Speaker 2: He says the Democratic Party is also relentlessly attempting to
25:15
Speaker 2: nationalize state voting systems to empower itself and destroy any
25:20
Speaker 2: meaningful opposition from the Republican Party. The Democratic Party dressed
25:25
Speaker 2: up this tyranny as a civil rights effort, was introduced
25:28
Speaker 2: in the House by Nancy Pelosi's HR one, the first
25:31
Speaker 2: bill to be considered by the new Democratic majority when
25:34
Speaker 2: she was in charge again. It would have effectively eliminated
25:38
Speaker 2: state voter ID laws make it virtually impossible to clean
25:42
Speaker 2: up voter registration lists, instituting online registration throughout the country,
25:49
Speaker 2: virtually eliminating protections against absentee ballot fraud, provided for taxpayer
25:54
Speaker 2: funding for congressional candidates, attack political speech by individuals and groups.
26:01
Speaker 2: They call it democratic centralization. This is the party and
26:06
Speaker 2: these are the people which cover from some odd thinking
26:10
Speaker 2: professors who are organizing around a twisted fiction for banning
26:15
Speaker 2: Trump from the ballot and disenfranchising his would be voters
26:20
Speaker 2: in advance of an election. God bless Mark Levin for
26:25
Speaker 2: writing this article. I asked him about the fourteenth Amendment
26:29
Speaker 2: and he said I wrote about it and sent me
26:31
Speaker 2: this link, and it was so important that I read
26:34
Speaker 2: it to you today because it's so important to hear
26:36
Speaker 2: the words so you understand how we.
26:37
Speaker 1: Got to where we are.
