To me, he's just a normal grandpa. He gets less candy and soda when her parents aren't looking. On Saturday, I was shocked when I heard that he has been shocked. And I just want to know if he was OK. Make American great again. Oh, geez. That was great, honey. Go for grandpa. Let's go. Come on, let's go. Have a good time. Is he allowed to respond? They don't respond, yeah. I mean, hold on. You're on, too. Imagine that in Florida right now, in 90-degree weather. See? That's bad. He's strong, he's smart, he's tough, he's vicious, he's violent. All the big rings you need. It's been a tremendous time and now it's time to go back home. My daughter had a baby. I'm going to go back home and see that little baby. I'm going to go back home and see that little baby.

Eight years ago, my father sat her family down. He spoke of a nation in decline.

My relationship with the president, hey, listen, if somebody is doing good stuff and president Trump is doing a lot of good stuff, I believe, I know I'm irritating a lot of you again, but I think so. Because as I said, also in Davos, the 2% reach by all, uh, NATO countries now at the end of 2025 would never, ever, ever have happened without Trump. Do you really think that Spain and Italy and Belgium and Canada would have decided to move from 1.5 to 2% Italy spending 10 billion more in our own defense at the beginning of the year without president Trump? No way it would not have happened. And do you really think that in the Hague we would have come to the 5% commitment without president Trump? No way. So when president Trump is doing good stuff, I have operation, uh, and I don't mind him, uh, publishing text messages. And if anyone thinks here again, that the European union or Europe as a whole can defend itself without the US, keep on dreaming. You can't, we can't. We need each other. And why do we need each other? I tell you, first of all, because also the US needs NATO for the US to stay safe. And by the way, Arctic region is evidence here. They need a secure Arctic. They need to secure your Atlantic. And you also need to secure Europe. So the US has every interest in NATO as much as Canada and the European NATO, uh, NATO allies, but for Europe, if you really want to go with alone and those who you are planning for that, forget that you can never get there with 5%. It will be 10%, you have to build up your own nuclear capability. That costs billions and billions of euros. You will lose them in that scenario, you would lose the ultimate guarantor of our freedom, which is the US nuclear umbrella. Uh, so, Hey, uh, good luck.

let's admit the truth everywhere people go they're asked for a social security card in fact one way to prove your bonafide person who can have a job is to ask for a driver's license and a social security card this is an anti fraud amendment all the over where we go people say well why can't you stop illegal immigrants or others from coming here and the number one answer we give our constituents is when they come here they can get jobs get benefits against the law because of fraud

Election systems across the country are found to have deleted millions of votes cast for President Trump. According to an unaudited analysis of data obtained from Edison Research, states using Dominion voting systems may have switched as many as 435,000 votes from President Trump to Joe Biden. And the author also finds another 2.7 million Trump votes appear to have been deleted by Dominion, including almost 1 million Trump votes in Pennsylvania alone. The experts' claims are quite shocking and starkly contrast the narrative that we've heard. Media claims have been made that the machines were not connected to the internet, but according to the forensic report, that is patently false. The experts examined both Dominion and ES&S machines, and both were connected to the internet using wireless technology. This is a fact that the machine vendors knew well before the election, because their proposal to pitch for the contract included information about internet transmission and wireless capabilities. What is the vehicle for the transmission from the ICP? Is it cellular modem versus VPN? It is a cellular modem that can be configured in a VPN, right? And we currently in Chicago and Cook County, we work with Verizon to secure that network. So we would have the same capabilities here. What wireless chip set/modem does the hardware have? We support a variety. Some of the forensic evidence for this fact includes the wireless chip made by the company to LEAT. This is a picture from the forensic audit of the chip inserted into the machine to transmit information wirelessly. This is a clear admission that they knew the machines were connected to the internet and there were problems, so they had to tally manually. The media also claimed that there was no foreign involvement. But according to the forensic report, that is not true. The 4G card included in the ES&S machines, pictured here, was made by the company to LEAT. The project to manufacture the chips, according to the report, was funded by the Chinese and has ties to the Chinese Communist Party. Some have accused these companies of obfuscating and in some cases misleading election administrators and the American public. So I'd like to ask each of you, do you have components in your supply chain that come from either Russia or China? Chairperson, we do not have components that come from Russia. We do have a limited number of components that come from China. It wasn't our company in the entire report, but we do have components in our products that come from China. Ms. Mathis? Yes, similar feedback here. We take the security of our supply chain very seriously and we actively monitor and assess all aspects of that supply chain, including country of origin. So do you have components from China or Russia? We do not have components from Russia, but we do have, similar to my colleagues, we do have components. And what would be the nature of those components? Similar resistors, capacitors, they're the global supply chain for technology components of that. And what percentage do you know? I don't have. We'll follow up with that. Is there any method of voting that's 100% secure? No. No. No. Do you sell voting machines that have network capabilities installed? Can you be more specific? Yes, you don't have the software installed, but you have the capability of installing it. For remote access software? Yes. We do not. We no longer install any remote access software. That process was discontinued in 2006 and is not allowed by any of the EAC testing. We got a firsthand look when we visited ES&S, the largest manufacturer of voting machines, and talked to CEO Tom Burt. Why is there a sprint thing here and a Verizon thing here? There's a small percentage of jurisdictions in the country, a lot of them are in Florida, who have decided that they want to modem unofficial results to the election office. Voting machines are not connected to the internet. Those are not connected. Voting machines themselves are not connected to the internet. And we knew that wasn't true. And cybersecurity expert Kevin Skoglin wanted to prove it. So he and nine other independent security consultants created their own search engine looking for election systems online. We found over 35 had been left online and we're still continuing to find more. ES&S insists while there are 14,000 of its modems in use, there are firewalls separating those modems from the public internet and that the modems are turned on for just seconds. But Skoglin says that's not enough. We're seeing Illinois and Michigan. Last summer, Skoglin's team found ES&S voting systems online and at least some of the precincts in 11 states, including the battleground states of Florida, Michigan and Wisconsin. If you were able to get inside these systems, could you do more than perhaps mess up the preliminary results? Could you actually get deeper inside the system? Absolutely. And that's my biggest concern. Top computer scientist Andrew Appel agrees with Skoglin. Once the hackers starts talking to the voting machine through the modem, they can hack the software in the voting machine and make it cheat in future elections. In August, Skoglin took his results to election officials and the press, assuming the systems will get taken down. We were astonished when he showed us some of those systems are still online. Modems in voting machines are a bad idea. Those modems are network connections and that leaves them vulnerable to hacking by anybody who can connect to that network. We should make sure that voting machines are not connected to the internet. Period. Period. Mr. Pollis? Chairperson, we've never had any kind of remote access in our Dominion products. But I will say that I do want to draw a caveat. Some of our tabulators are designed around the ability to have an external plug-in modem to transmit unofficial results after it pulls close. Okay. What wireless chipset/modem does the hardware have? We support a variety. So it's really up to the jurisdictions what technology they want to use, what's compatible with their networks. Currently, some jurisdictions are using basically a modem that is a 3D modem, GSM, but we can support multiple varieties of modem. Including the latest 4D standards as well. So the answer is the next question is a 3D or 4G. Verizon, AT or T or Sprint, assuming all? Oh, yeah. All networks, right. Just to point it back, yeah. I mean, we actually transmit from the ICP in Mongolia as well, so we're not limited in networks. And in Puerto Rico, there's three vendors because the island is not covered by any of the vendors completely, so we use three different cellular vendors for some ICPs with this vendor, Maro, AT and T or T-Mobile, I think, in the different parts of the island. Analysts say the theft and destruction of votes are attributed to so-called glitches in Dominion Software and the extent to which this affected results can be verified by hand recounts of votes in each state.

- If these ballots were run through multiple times, as you've alleged, I think you said possibly up to 30,000 times, definitely thousands of times, being counted, when we examine the poll book and see who voted, and we count those numbers, would they then not line up with the total number of votes coming out of Detroit? - Just later, later, the poll book is completely off, completely off. - Off to 30,000? - I'd say that poll book is off by over 100,000. - Where are you from? - Oh, I'm from down river. - Okay. - I'm here because of the 38,000 ballots that arrived here at 3.45 AM, they're just now sitting over there and getting counted, supposedly. - Okay, okay. - And that's why I arrived. - Okay. - To an eye-opening of hypocrisy, let me tell you, something I want you to see, they're taping up the windows, the security's taping up the windows so that people who are challenging cannot see in here, and he can't see out, so it's an interesting development. Interesting development. - I began observing the process of ballots at several counting boards. I quickly noticed that none, and I mean none, of the names who were being scanned from the ballots were in the electronic poll books. All of the names that were found were found in the supplemental sheets. We know that the poll books, the electronic poll books, were updated on Sunday, November 1st. That meant that all of these new ballots had to have been brand new registered voters on Monday, November 2nd, or Tuesday, November 3rd. I found it very hard to believe that tens of thousands of people had registered in just two short days, so I began writing down the names on the ballots immediately after they were scanned by the computer poll worker. As soon as I began, I was severely obstructed by five different persons that I could no longer, such that I could no longer continue my legal responsibility as a poll challenger. These five persons comprised of a poll worker, a supervisor, an uncredential person, a Democrat challenger, and one of the top leaders of the AVCB. The details can be found on my affidavit. Does anyone believe that 30 or 40,000 new voters were actually signed up legally in two days? - Yeah, and what have you seen? - I've seen ballots that don't belong to anybody. They don't throw up in the voter registration. There's no name attached to them. - And what are they doing with those ballots? - I'm challenging them, and they're supposed to put them in a box to be evaluated, but then multiple ballots that have several different numbers, one person with different numbers. We have whole lists of them. We're writing everything down all day long. - So are they improperly filled out, and you're looking to disqualify them? - Yes, they're improperly filled out if they have no name, if they don't have a home, or if the person was born in 1921, but registered to vote in 1900, that kind of doesn't make sense. - But that's not on the ballot. When you vote, your ballot is just the balls in which you have on there. What are you seeing? Are you seeing people's registration forms? So on the tables, you have the ballot, and then you are able to see next to them on a computer screen whose ballot that is. - Sometimes the ballot itself has no name, but the ballot is filled out. And then if we go into the registration file, we find the person that was born in 1921, and there's a lot that's not right. - What's wrong with being born in 1921? - But registering to vote in 1900, 21 years before you're born. - Only a few of the most egregious items witnessed. I was not allowed to perform my job, and from what I observed were any of the GOP challengers in accordance with Michigan laws. We were constantly prevented from getting close enough to see what was going on with respect to the ballots. Procedures were not being properly followed when we brought these to the attention of the supervisors. Our concerns were dismissed and ignored. We observed ballots being backdated from 11-4 to 11-2, and data being entered into the computers for these mail-in ballots. Poll workers were entering ballot information from new mail-in ballots, including dates of birth of 1/1/1900 into the electronic poll books and processing those ballots for tabulation. The information wasn't in either the electronic poll book or the paper supplement book prior to that. Dead people were voting. I sent a website to that effect, and the list that they had up to that date was 17,327 randomly checked Michigan voters that were registered for voting and were above the age of 80. Every name on this list has voted in the 2020 election, check for yourself, and has also been found in one or more of the obituaries online. This is the most important election in my lifetime, and I think the most important election in the history of our republic. - Yeah, poll book, why don't you look at the registered voters on there? How many registered voters are on there? Did you, do you even know the answer to that? - No, I guess I'm trying to get to the bottom of this here. - Zero, zero, there's zero. - So my question then is if the-- - Guess how many, wait, what about the turnout rate? 120%. - Let's let Representative Johnson ask his question a little bit.

Now we have a bunch of lazy senators who want to threaten the filibuster and not get off their feet and talk and really represent the people and stand for what they believe in. And all the American people are asking John Thune to do is to restore the Senate to the way it used to work before Mitch McConnell's lazy filibuster ideas kind of came into play. And I think that the American people are going to be there. Here's what I think is going to happen, Dan. And I think you probably know some of this because you had a, you had a foresight into some of the things that the bureau now knows it was kept from the American public. I think Donald Trump is going to change the narrative in America. I think he's going to change some senators' minds and he's going to do it by revealing some of the things that Chris Ray and that the Chris Krebs and other major officials who were in charge of the integrity of our elections and who told us it was a perfect election in 2020, he's going to start revealing some of the intelligence that was kept from the American people. And we're going to see that our foreign adversaries have monkeyed with our system more than we knew, more than those driver's licenses coming into Chicago that you helped get all of us to understand about a few months ago about trying to sending fake driver's licenses to help Joe Biden in. There are going to be significant efforts by foreign power, some friends, some enemies that were trying to meddle in the system, and they got pretty far down that path. And I think when senators realized their state could have been targeted, when senators realized that the intention of the identities of some of their voters might have been assumed, I think there's going to be a different debate in America. I think if the president takes the time to educate people and show them that maybe the stories we got from the last leadership weren't true, I think he's going to pick off the votes and then the American people are going to put some pressure on John Thune and they're going to surgically implant a stiff back and he's going to change that filibuster for this particular thing. Make it a standing filibuster, make the Democrats talk till they drop and then we'll get a vote in the summer. But I think there's some big, significant, and very troubling revelations about the vulnerabilities of our elections that the president is about to unveil on the American public.

Well, this is the fifth anniversary of the loss of a really great man, a great conservative, somebody that loved our country, loved his family, loved a lot of things. But he was a friend of mine, Rush Limbaugh. I never met Rush when I announced that I was running. I'll never forget, 2015. And I got a call, all excited that Rush Limbaugh just endorsed you. I never met him. He liked my opening speech. He liked when I got up in June and I said, you know, we got bad borders, we got bad crime, we got bad everything. And he liked it. I came down the escalator with now our first lady, and he thought it was great. And he endorsed me, and then I got to know him, and I realized what a great guy he was. But it's five years that we miss Rush. As Sean Hannity would often say, there will never be another Rush Limbaugh. Also to his family, his great wife and family, I just want to say we miss you all. We miss him. And there'll never be anybody like him. Thank you very much.
