Joe Rogan Drops Major J6 Truth Bomb and Julie Kelly Reacts
"This tape last hour, but I find this to be unbelievably persuasive and Julie, I think you'll enjoy hearing it. Cut 70 9 is Joe Rogan and Michael malice reacting in real time. It's as if you had a private hidden camera of how they react to the footage that is now being made public to people that are not right wing ideologues by any measure. Play cut 79, please. Right, you're not supposed to go into the capitol building. Grant. I thought you were not like that. Yeah, I don't like that idea. Not like that. But when you see the people taking them around, essentially on a tour. That's not what I thought it was. Not even defending them. It's just forget about it. Let's look at what actually happened. We didn't know that happened. Right. We had a version of it was just chaos and the cops ran away. And cops were murdered. I would have never imagined that this. I've shocked to see that. That's so wild. And so I think people are just starting to recognize that it's not what you thought it was. So Julie, that clip is very powerful. What is your reaction? To not just that clip, but this idea that finally the American people can get educated and informed of what happened on January 6th. And while you're at it, tell us about potential Brady violations as well. So Charlie, that's very similar to the response that I got from a lot of people. Even people who have been sort of following January 6th that they were expecting some bombshells, but not to the level that what Tucker presented on Monday and Tuesday. When you see what happened with Jacob chansley, completely railroaded by his Justice Department, get this, Charlie. I really looked up his documents today. Jacob chansley, as we now see walking peacefully around building accompanied by numerous capital police officers, that was January 6th on January 11th, 5 days later, a grand jury in Washington D.C. handed down several crimes against Jacob chandley 5 days later. It's like this was preset ready to go this DoJ D.C. U.S. attorney's office had all of the charges collected that they were going to use against these people. I mean, that is pretty stunning, something

Julie Kelly on the Significance of the Newly Released J6 Footage
"Dying to get this guest on the program all week ever since Kevin McCarthy gave the footage over to Tucker Carlson and again, Kevin deserves a lot of credit for that. He did not have to do what he did. And the guest is Julie Kelly. She's the author of January 6th, how the Democrats used the capitol protest to launch a war on terror against the political right. She understands the details of January 6th better than almost anybody else except maybe Darren Beatty there right up there together. And I have several questions for Julie, Julie, welcome to the program, Julie walk our audience through from your perspective, the importance, the weight and the significance of this footage now finally becoming public. I think the significance is that the American people are starting to come to terms with and realize that the carefully constructed narrative about January 6th isn't the real story. And that is why you see people like Chuck Schumer, Mitch McConnell, Mitt Romney, et cetera, completely melting down this week. In addition to the national news media that Tucker had access to these hidden recordings that have not been Charlie not only not made available to the public but to defendants and their attorneys. So it is breaking down the narrative, the American people want to see more of this video. We see that from the Rasmussen poll 80% of Americans want to see all of the available video and so I think that this is just part of the crumbling narrative that is nonetheless Charlie being used by this Department of Justice and FBI to destroy the lives of thousands of Americans.

Mollie Hemingway: How Nicolle Wallace Pushed NYT Propaganda on COVID
"Molly Hemingway posted a clip from Nicole Wallace from MSNBC, Mali tweeted here the truly awful Nicole Wallace pushes New York Times propaganda that helped red China's effort to obstruct the investigation into the Wuhan institute of virology role in releasing a deadly deadly global pandemic. Here's a flashback from a long time ago about a year ago, MSNBC's Nicole Wallace. Traditionally, driven by science, not presidential politics. And the scientists aren't the only ones rankled today by Trump's effort at reputational repair. The New York Times also advances recent reporting on U.S. intelligence agencies, which we learned this week, provided Intel in the president's PDB as early as January about the lethal spread of COVID. Those same agencies now have been tapped with investigating one of Trump world's most favorite conspiracy theories. New York Times reports this, quote, senior Trump administration officials have pushed Americans by agencies to hunt for evidence to support an unsubstantiated theory that a government lab in Wuhan, China was the origin of the coronavirus outbreak. That's according to current and former American officials. The effort comes as president Trump escalates a campaign to blame China for the pandemic. Some Intel analysts are concerned that the pressure from the administration officials will distort assessments about the virus and that they could be used as a political weapon in an intensifying battle with China over a disease that has infected more than 3 million people across the globe.

Mollie Hemingway and Hugh Discuss the Gender Issue
"Well, last night, they began to tell me about a runway show that they had just read about where one of the models was either a very young teen or maybe even prepubescent, who had had the double mastectomy and the transgender fluidity issue. And I said, stop. I don't want to hear about this. I don't cover it on the radio, and by the way, parents, if you've got kids in the back of the car, because it's one of those issues that will get people to turn off the radio. And I'm not here to get to drive listeners away. So I'm not here to talk about often the issues associated with that. But boy, when the Turkish Syrian earthquake comes in, all that stuff goes out the window, Molly, and it suggests to me what Lincoln said, if you drive natural law at the front door, it will come in the back door immediately. Yes, that's true. I worry that we have done so much damage to so many people that should disaster strikes say here in the United States that we would not have we would have just messed up so many people and so trained people away from where they should be that it would make it much more difficult to survive or thrive.

Senator J.D. Vance Endorses U.S. Rep. Jim Banks for Senate
"Senator Vance welcome, first time I've called you that. Good to have you on this morning. Thank you. Good to be with you. Just 15 minutes ago, Mitch Daniels announced he is not going to run for Senate in Indiana. Thus leaving JD leaving Jim banks is the only declared candidate. Have you endorsed in that race yet? Well, he was interesting. One of the things I was going to do on your show was announced that I'm endorsing Jim banks, who's a dear friend and a really good guy and was very helpful to get this across the finish line in Ohio. So I think we'll be a great conservative fighter for Indiana. I had not seen the news about Mitch Daniels. I had heard from people that he was likely not to run. Of course he was a great governor of Indiana and an incredible Purdue university Chancellor. But I think that obviously Jim's moment is now as a younger guy. I think he knows in some ways instinctively where the party is headed and where it needs to go. And I think he's the right guy for the job.

David Drucker on the Creation of the Ronna McDaniel Storyline
"M drucker on Twitter is now with the dispatch where he writes their weekly dispatch on American politics. David, good morning to you. How are you? Great. Good morning. Ronna mcdaniel won easily. I was at the convention. The Republican National Committee winner meaning she won by 70% of the ballots on the first ballot. This was a non story that became a story because harmony was very verbal and very loud and she had a lot of good friends and I salute her running and Mike lindell was there and my colleagues create some media attention. But why does the media create storylines when there is no storyline, David? Well, because we have to cover something even if we don't have to cover it and it's much more interesting to cover if there's a storyline and we're likely to have more readers if there's a storyline. Now I will say you and that's just by the way, that's the journalism answer. I know I've sounded a little glib there. So we always look for a way to make it look more interesting. I will say that Hermes had a lot of grassroots outside activist support. There are different. As you know, factions within the Republican Party and outside of the voting members, she had a lot of local support. Of course, the way you win that race is to run an inside game, catering to the 168, you don't bring outside pressure to bear, even though she is one of the voting 168 RNC members. She really relied on outside pressure that's just not the way you win a race like that.

Who Matches Up Best Against Kamala? Mollie Hemingway Weighs In
"We come back to this and our machine is frozen. When the Republican nominee seeks to find a running mate, they've got to pick one with Kamala Harris in mine, who matches up best against her on a stage. Well, and it's one of those reasons why I'm actually not sure they can drop her for Shapiro because it would be very difficult to get rid of the only female on their ticket. But that's probably one of the reasons why Republicans are thinking a lot about Christina or a Nikki Haley, although I don't know. I actually don't love it when people pick for that type of reason. And I thought Mike Pence actually did a great job debating her in the 2020 or in 2020. So who knows? I sort of believe Tim Scott will be our vice president, regardless of who the nominee is. But here

Mollie Hemingway Deciphers Kamala's Confusing Comments
"Molly Hemingway, the reason we bring you on, you are a big time television star. So intergenerational and multi generational and spanning the generation, I'm just a Harvard guy. I thought they all meant the same thing. What do you think? I think she was, I have no idea. I really don't. I love her. I love listening to her poetry. I think she's the best insurance policy that has ever been purchased in history. She's very much keeping Joe Biden in power because nobody wants that at the top of the helm, but I have no idea what she think they're going to bumper throw from the train through a mama from the train. That can happen. I think if they decide that they want to get rid of, I mean, I sort of think it's up to the democratic establishment. They have really good control over their party. They can decide who's going to be there who's going to win their primary or what's going to happen to them. But I mean, we'll see.

Hugh Unpacks Biden's Latest Comments With Mollie Hemingway
"From Fox News and the federalist of course joins us. I do not know Molly if you've ever even heard red rubber ball given it was written a decade before you were born. Of course I have. Okay, well this is. That's what I play when I'm about to go through it. I've asked you to come in this morning and translate the president and the vice president from yesterday. Here's cut number one, Joe Biden being asked about Kevin McCarthy coming to The White House cut number one. What is your message? What is your message to leader McCarthy? The speaker McCarthy, sorry, sir. What would be your message? Show me your budget. I'll show you mine, Molly Hemingway. What's that mean? Well, I actually think that we're getting a little bit better place than we were last week when Joe Biden was refusing to accept the results of the 2022 midterm elections and acknowledge that Republicans had won the house and that you can't treat such a thing as something that didn't happen or as if the people who won the House or not people that you can negotiate with. And so I think he's saying he's backtracking on what he said last week when he wouldn't talk to them at all to say, obviously we need to negotiate the debt limit. We

Reporter Mia Cathell Discusses an Atlanta LGBTQ Pedophile Ring
"Continues with us. Mia, if you were to speculate how sophisticated and how widespread is this pedophilic ring, at least in Atlanta, I mean, you said 12 people, how do we know 12 and how do we know it's not 200? I mean, that's what the one adopted father was willing to admit to police when they launched this armed raid on their mansion. But part two goes into speculations on how far reaching it is because these doctor fathers took the boys on an excess of family trips and they stayed in airbnbs all across America. And so if it's alleged that they were raping their children in their own home, you know, it's implied that they could have been doing it elsewhere, taking them across state lines. And so they continued to document all of these trips, which could be considered evidence of it. But especially when they went to Chicago, they were touring all of the tourist attractions and pride gear, they're taking pictures of anything that's signaled, support for LGBTQ inclusion. So there's just a lot to this story that we're still trying to figure out as a case plays out. The media is silent on this, we know why. I believe I know why I'd love your thoughts on this is you are not allowed to even mention the fact that gay men might be raping young boys. You can't say that. I'm not saying all of them do. I'm not saying I don't know how widespread it is. I'm asking a question, but if there's an instance, you have to ignore it, you can't even commit the crime of noticing. How significant is the media blackout here, Mia? It is very significant. You would think like AJC and Atlanta for it being such a powerful, you know, on the ground outlet. They wrote about this story when it happened in August, but we haven't seen anything since

The Atlanta Pedophile Horror With Mia Cathell
"Joining us now is Mia caswell, investigative journalist with town hall, first Mia. I want to compliment you on your courage to write these pieces. I'm sure that you are receiving your fair amount of threats and ridicule for writing what is now a series of pieces. I will admit I did not have the stomach to finish your first piece. I just didn't. And it was just so grotesque and so terrible and so horrific. Walk our audience through your reporting and we'll go from there. Yeah, so part one of the four part investigative series that dropped Tuesday. And it just went into the horrifying facts of this criminal case that's playing out in Georgia and the adoptive fathers in the case. William and Zachary Zulu there. Gay married men, they're both now in maximum security lockup, pending trial. And so, yes, I've been following this case since it broke over the summer, so this is half a year ago. And made national headlines and everything. But ever since, there's just been a complete media blackout on the story. And so I've been diving into the court records, all these different court documents that just showing this suburban pedophile ring that's hidden in plain sight and virtually no outlet, local or national, has paid attention to it. So you call it a ring elaborate on that because it seems as if the story centered on these two sexual criminals. So what evidence do you have that it's a ring? Right, so in the 17 count indictment, it charges the adoptive fathers with soliciting at least two men in the Atlanta area suburbs, one hunter lawless and the other one, Louis viscosa Sanchez with engaging in prostitution with their 11 year old adopted son. You just turned 11 in December. And so that just seems like the tip of the iceberg because the one adoptive father said that he admitted to sending the child pornography to less than a dozen people. So there are still a handful of these child predators out there

Is There a Deep State, Crossfire Move to Remove Joe Biden?
"Think there is a move afoot to replace Joe Biden and clear the field for somebody else maybe a Gavin Newsom or somebody else in 2024? Is there a deep state crossfire move to remove Joe Biden? I don't know. I definitely heard a lot of people talking about it and I do wonder. But the way the Department of Justice is being so gentle with Joe Biden makes me think that they're not there yet. Maybe this is just the first shot that they're firing to let him know that they can control whether he gets to run again or not they've been protecting him with this gentle special counsel approach. They've been allowing him to leak get the information out and the friendliest possible way. So they might be just exploring options, but I don't think he's in true trouble because the Department of Justice is unfortunately so corrupt and so operating with so many different standards of justice here that he probably doesn't have much reason to worry yet.

Mollie Hemingway: The Senate Chose Not to Debate the Budget All Year
"Molly Hemingway to Sean Duffy the other night on Fox News channel. It is unfathomable. It's unbelievable to most Americans that this is what our Senate is doing. They had all year to have meaningful debate about the budget and how we operate our federal government. They chose not to. They release a bill that no one has read, no one cares to read, that has been written by lobbyists and savvy Democrat staffers. I mean, the things you just listed, these horrible pork things. They're awful, but they're a tiny percent of the problem with the bill, which embeds so many dangerous ideologies into the functioning of the federal government does nothing to correct the massive problems we have, rewards the FBI and Department of Justice for meddling in our elections and censoring people's First Amendment, going against people's First Amendment rights, increases their budget, does nothing to take on the problems that we have in our the destruction of the military, but just rewards them and encourages them to continue what they're doing.

How Higher Education Has Gone Awry With Mark Bauerlein
"I'm delighted to welcome to the podcast Mark Bauer line. Mark is emeritus Professor of English at Emory university in an editor at first things magazine. His latest book is the dumbest generation grows up from stupefied youth to dangerous adults. Mark, thanks for joining me. Well, I'm happy to be here. Glad to be here, in fact. Oh, great. Well, I'm such a big fan of first things. I went to one of their conferences, one of the ones where they do like a deep dive. I saw the recent one this year was on death. I think I went to one a couple years ago, but yeah, they have such great such great content, such great things there. What inspired you to want to dive into the topic of the dumbest generation grows up because you've seen very smart. Well, you know, I was a college teacher for a long time, an English teacher at Emory university, and I saw during the aughts, you know, the 90s, in an English department, you always had these bookish kids, you know, they grew up reading Hemingway or Jane Austen and they wanted to get more and they really found a lot of their identity, their lives, through these characters. In fiction, they might have had a great high school English teacher. And what I saw over the odds is actually what everyone saw. This transfer of young people from being print readers to screen watchers. They suddenly had all these new tools flood into their lives. And, you know, Facebook came along 2005 O 6, Twitter came along in 2008. All the iPhone and then the Instagram, the chatting, the texting, the photo, and everything. And what we saw was the gradual diminishment of that literary education, the literary sensibility of young people, and I said, way back in 2008, this first domus generation book was, this is a terrible formation

Trump Attorney Alina Habba on Trump's New Campaign Announcement
"Now is alena haba, who is the attorney for president Donald Trump, lots to ask her about. Welcome back to the program. Hey Charlie, how are you? Very good. Thank you. So the president announced for his third time for his second term to try to get his second term back, I guess I could say. What does this change legally? It's been such a topic of the mainstream media with all the investigations, what does this change if anything? Obviously not much. I know that there's speculation that it will change the optics of the DoJ or the FBI in terms of putting in any additional investigations or bringing any charges. But I think that that's a very dated thought. I think that the DoJ and the FBI that we're seeing these days don't really care. Especially when it relates to Trump. So I honestly nothing. I know that it makes it politically charged that appearance if they do bring something, but that doesn't really matter. I can tell you, you know, all of my cases are still going and are very active and there's been absolutely no change in directions since you announced.

Mollie Hemingway Calls Out the GOP's Unpreparedness With Abortion
"I think one of the other kind of struggles people have is maybe we set our expectations too high. There is a debate on the right of the role that Dobbs played in this election. I do believe that in certain states, especially in the state races interestingly enough, it was actually an anchor, especially in Michigan and in Wisconsin in a year that otherwise should have been a very good year. We lost by 5, 6 or 7 points when we had really good candidates. What are your thoughts, Molly? It's very confusing to decipher it. I mean, you take very strong pro life governors like Ron DeSantis, Bill Lee, Brian Kemp, Greg Abbott, who signed effectively or, you know, who's in a state that essentially has an abortion ban, they all won their reelection, incumbent pro abortion supportive governors also did well. I think there was clear failure on the part of the Republican Party to deal with that issue. And it's criminal because they knew it was coming. They knew they had the leak. They knew it was likely to be overturned. They should have had a plan in place. And I saw that the people who support abortion spent $391 million on targeted messaging compared to 11 million for pro lifers. That's just inexcusable. And you might not win the issue. You know, it was a big change in abortion policy and one that many people had worked very hard for and had prayed for for a very long period of time. You can certainly get it to a draw and instead Republicans kind of did this ostrich head in the sand approach of showing that not only were they weak, but they were scared to talk about it.

Why Was the Election Data SO Off? Mollie Hemingway Explains
"There's a lot to continue to dive into here with what's happening in Arizona and across the country. Joining us now is the great Molly Hemingway. She wrote the great book rigged. I think we have it around here. Mollye, welcome back to the program. It's great to be here with you. So Molly, a lot of people are scratching their head and we did a whole hour about the failures of Maricopa County and the machines going down and all that. But just more broadly and generally across the country, can you help explain why the data was so off, not just the polling data, but people had early voting forecasts and kind of predictions. It was all off. How was that possible, Molly? So the first thing I think it's important to remember is that in some sense, it wasn't off, and that's why everybody feels so weird about what happened. And what I mean by that is Republicans did win the generic ballot. They did have millions more voters. We do know that three out of four people in the country are upset with the direction of the country. The President Biden has low approval ratings that objectively speaking, the economy is bad. We have no border, you know, crime is skyrocketing. These are all real things that contribute to the confusion people feel about the end result. And I think that while there are easily you could usually when people name a thing that they think went wrong, they're right. I think one thing that people really need to understand at a very high level and I do appreciate that you get this is that Democrats really targeted their ballot harvesting operations in key races, you know, 20, 25, 30 key house races. They turned on their machine in those places, and I don't mean like a physical machine. I mean, getting the ballots into the boxes kind of machine. And maybe like 5 Senate seats. They didn't do all over the country. They just knew where they were vulnerable, and they focused there. And I think that actually explains why New York saw such big gains. You had what 5 seats flipped to the Republican because Democrats really didn't turn on their machine there.

"Over to the capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard Molly those words are just strike terror evidently into the heart of anybody who's trying to tell us what happened on January 6th because they never include that part of his speech ever, and this movie doesn't do it either. There are no greater purveyors of misinformation than our current media complex and this is a great example of it. Just in general that protest and riot because there were two separate things. There was a protest and there was a riot. They did not include the same people, has not been covered well by our corporate media. I was covering it along with a couple of my staff in D.C. and the protest was at The White House. It was a couple miles away from the capitol. It was massive, hundreds of thousands of people. Some of them went over to the capitol. And then some of those a few hundred of those unlawfully entered the capitol. And the media in general have not made a distinction between those things in any way. It was in a horrible job covering the plight of these people who were arrested inside the capital. Some of them entered illegally and violently. Some of them were welcomed in by the police. You know, they haven't made a distinction. Right. There are even. And then more than anything, they're completely missing the context that our entire country was ravaged by armies of left wing rioters who killed dozens of people caused billions of dollars of damage, launched assaults on The White House, federal courthouses, police precincts, statues and historic monuments, they burned. It's like hundreds of businesses. They destroyed hundreds or maybe even thousands of businesses. And the whole country was besieged by this. For months, it was supported by the left wing media was supported by Democrats like Kamala Harris saying to bail out people who were engaged in this riotous behavior. And then on a dime, they decided that this one riot that lasted for a few hours didn't really have a president. He hasn't had one since, is the worst thing that ever happened in the history of the world. And I think everyone can abhor political violence. I do without understanding that this is just corrupt lying mendacity from these left wing people who are engaged in straight up. And it's not always left wing. Listen to this, the New York Post a paper that I will read religiously, their coverage of the hundreds and hundreds of people who apparently protested outside Brooklyn's Barclays center over the banning of a player named Kyrie Irving, who doesn't want to get a COVID-19 vaccine. And so people protested in support of him and the way the New York Post describes them anti vaxxers, raid Barclays for Kyrie. Now, there's an interesting sleight of hand going on here, and this is a trick that the media uses. If you're against mandates, you're an anti vaxxer. I've gotten the vaccine twice. I've gotten two Johnson & Johnson shots, my decision in consultation with my doctor that makes sense for me. I'm anti mandate. That doesn't make me an anti vaxxer and yet even the New York Post paints everybody who pushes back against a vaccine mandate with the same broad brush of being an anti vaxxer. Yeah, it's not a trick. It's a lie. I mean, it's a lie to claim that people who oppose mandates are anti the thing that's being mandated. Right. That is such a basic logical fallacy that people who don't understand that should not be not only not journalists. They should be nowhere near any business of communication. And it is all propaganda. It's all in service of something very weird. And I couldn't agree more. I mean, you wouldn't even apply if you're talking about a different vaccine that had a greater degree of effectiveness in a greater trial period. But it certainly doesn't apply when we're talking about an experimental vaccine that just kind of got unleashed a year ago and that people have any number of legitimate reasons for either waiting to take or opposing taking. I mean, check the check this out. I got the Johnson & Johnson shot in March before I got the second shot last week. I thought I'd be I want to get an antibody test. Everybody does these antibodies test. I wanted to know. In my body, I'm healthy, 61 year old male. Almost undetectable zero antibodies in my system from March. I mean, I mean, and that's my doctor's trying to analyze it with me, says, well, I think you ought to get the second one. I'm like, yeah, but so I don't have any did I not get any antibodies from the J&J? No, apparently not. You've been either your immune system is strong enough and yadda yadda yadda. I mean, we don't know what to make of any of this Molly, but I'm grateful for people like you and your book. I hope everybody gets rigged how the media big tech and the Democrats seized our elections. Real important, important book. You know, it's funny speaking to the New York Post. Again, a paper I love, they were all over so much of what was the foundation of your book and this researcher who was quoted last week a lot and he credited your book with, you know, the knowledge that they really have done some nefarious things. I guess you're not shocked that the mainstream media probably isn't supporting your book the way you would think they would. Given what's in there and how explosive it is, you would expect a little more coverage. But certainly that part of the post covered last week is one of the most interesting parts. And that's about how Mark Zuckerberg spent $419 million to orchestrate a private takeover of government election offices, not to fund campaigns, but to actually be embedding left wing activists into the governmental offices that do stuff like voter registration and ballot counting and ballot design and outreach outreach to voters. And they spent the money 92% of the funds went to democratic strongholds. And they overwhelmingly did this in swing states. And, you know, the election came down to 43,000 votes across three states. So it had a profound impact on the actual results of the election. And, you know, should have been illegal and is being made illegal in many states now, but was not illegal at the time it happened. We interviewed the author of that study last week and he gave your book a whole lot of credit. I do too. We all know what they did. I think you want to know how they did it. You want to get Molly's book rigged, Molly, thanks for taking the time out of what I know as a whirlwind schedule for you. Congratulations on the book. And keep fighting the good fight. Thank you.

"All of us big mouths on the radio have go tos that we read that we follow who paid close attention to Molly Hemingway is in the top maybe three, maybe two maybe one. She's senior editor at the federalist. She's got a new book rigged how the media big tech and the Democrats seized our elections. She's in very, very choppy waters because I don't know how they haven't canceled her by now, but so we wanted to grab her while we could. Molly welcome back to the Mike Gallagher show. Congratulations on the book and thank you again for your voice, a voice that we need now more than ever. Well, thank you. And it's great to be here with you. I appreciate taking time out of your day to talk about not only rigged. Let's talk a little bit about Georgia elections. Huge, huge election in Virginia next week. I don't know what Major League Baseball is going to do. Let me see. First, they stripped Atlanta, the All-Star Game, which deprived a lot of black business owners of the revenues that that would have created. They moved it to lily white Denver. Now the Atlanta Braves are in the World Series, so Major League Baseball is sort of stuck. They're also the braves Molly. They haven't changed the name yet of that franchise. And I saw Saturday night Travis Tritt sang the national anthem at the national league championship series game. These guys, Molly at Major League Baseball, they're so woke, they gotta be breathing into a brown paper bag these days. Things aren't going as planned for them. Well, it's interesting because I am a lifelong huge baseball fan. My team is a Saint Louis Cardinals, or I should say, was the Saint Louis Cardinals. I watched constantly have the MLB package once a games bought gear. And when they, when Major League Baseball interfered in election integrity of all things and punished Georgia for having like, frankly, a pretty weak strengthening of their election law and punish them and sent them to Denver, which by their own standards had worse election measures. I just decided I couldn't in good conscience follow baseball anymore. And so I have now watched a single game. This season. And I have an ease and I feel the same way. I mean, I won't do it I'm just kind of fed up with the whole thing. I don't care if even individual athletes have political views. It's a free country and they can do what they want. But it just was insane to me that Major League Baseball would not just weigh in on a political issue, but weigh in against prevention of cheating. Like of all things, but no they have a problem with that with the use of natural. But it just seemed insane to me and I couldn't in good conscience continue. So I'm not even following the World Series and I assume they're going to allow they're going to allow the people of Georgia to host it this time, which shows what hypocrites they are. But I don't care. It's just sickening because we're witnessing things. We're in really, really bizarre, crazy ville. But the good news is when I see the Atlanta Braves in the World Series, it almost feels like sort of almost a God thing. It's like the universe saying, you know what? Take that Major League Baseball. What are you gonna do now? You're gonna move Atlanta out of their own World Series back to Denver again. What are you gonna do with Travis Tritt? What are you gonna do with they're gonna do the tomahawk chop again? I mean, some companies stand up against this crap. Most do not speaking of crap, let's talk about the whole basis of your book. Everybody should read it. You've made all kinds of news with the reporting that you've done. You are on the third rail, though, my friend, you're in an area that you're not that the mainstream media betters have told us, we're not allowed to talk about. You can't talk about election integrity and stay in your chosen occupation. How have they not canceled Molly Hemingway yet over your book? So it's funny because that's actually why I wrote it. I thought it was so bizarre after the election that you weren't allowed to talk about an election that we all knew was the weirdest one we've ever participated in. Right. And it was after three, four years of every day these same exact people who say you can't talk about the 2020 election, claiming, repeatedly, each day that Donald Trump stole the 2016 election by colluding with Russia. He was a secret Russian agent who had stolen the election, and they didn't. This wasn't marginal. This was the entire media complex. This was the entire Democrat party. And it was really damaging the country how they kept claiming that Trump was an illegitimate president and that he'd stolen the election. And then we have these massive changes to our election laws and processes that intentionally flood the zone with tens of millions of mail in ballots which up until 2020, we all admitted were more susceptible to fraud. We had this private takeover of government election offices by Mark Zuckerberg, we had a completely corrupt media who were just engaged in propaganda. We had tech censorship and all of these things made it very reasonable to have problems with the handling of the election. And then they said, you're not allowed to talk about it. And I thought, I need to investigate and figure out what was going on so I could smell for myself what happened? I'm so tired of being told what I can or can not talk about. Big tech is doing it. And we've experienced it personally. I'll give you two quick anecdotal examples of YouTube banning the Mike Gallagher show. The first time was because we played a clip of an Atlanta mom railing at a school board meeting about mash band aids months ago. They took us down and said we were guilty of COVID misinformation from playing the clip from Fox News. And then more recently they said we were guilty of election mission because I said on the air, millions of people have a hunch that something wasn't on the up and up about the election, and that's just a fact, expressing an opinion gets you censored and shut down by the tech overlords, but Molly, it feels like there's a pushback the likes of which we haven't seen, doesn't it feel to you like it does me that something is something pretty profound and positive is starting to happen in our country..

"To see holy bull and see Mike? And Miguel said sure Clark I'll get it done and he brought me out there and I got to meet Mike and I got to meet holy bull and the way Miguel did it and the way it happened that day, I'll never forget it for my whole life. And I finally never saw McDowell again until about two years ago. And I saw him we've developed a great friendship and I am really appreciative of those stories and those things that make you remember why you love the game so much. You have taken this conversation, Michelle, Donna, very personal path for me. Holy bolt to this day is still my all time favorite race horse and because of that. I followed Mike Smith very closely to in his career and now we've become very good friends through the radio program and everything. And it's just it's amazing the journeys that this sport will take you on, isn't it? Oh, it's incredible. And I mean, holy balls still like you, my favorite race to this day. And I'm involved with charity here in Florida called run to the ribbons where we have a transformation expo from making thoroughbred racehorses, even thoroughbreds who couldn't make the races and giving them a second career. And we're trying to get some people behind our program and interestingly enough, our most popular sire. There's two of the fires that are in most popular and remaking sport horses. And it's holy bowl and voting Meister. Wow. Wow, that's fantastic. Yeah, I mean, he was just such a special horse to me. And that was before I even arrived in Kentucky and got involved in the industry. I was just a fan at that point and he was one of the horses that really drew me into the sport. And I'm so thankful that there were those types of horses that could for you. Yes, absolutely. Yeah. Well, it looks like we're down to the final, well, it looks like about four minutes or so, Michelle, so I'll wind down the show this way. I always like to ask trainers to let me know something about them that maybe we haven't touched on yet. Maybe it's a little more personal or something that you enjoy doing outside of racing any other hobbies or things that you enjoy that aren't racing related. Is there anything like that in your life that you enjoy doing? I'm probably the biggest Disney fanatic you've ever met. Really? Yes. My group of friends and I we all are Disney lovers. I have what size, small tattoos that are all Disney related. And we're annual passholders and we go to Disney down here as often as we can. And when I make it out to California for the breeders cup, I'm going to do Disneyland one day because, you know, Disney's my happy place other than horse racing. Wow, who's your favorite Disney character? It's going to sound it's going to sound really funny, but there's actually a couple and Elsa. I love Elsa from frozen, but some people say, I look like Elsa so that sounds a little narcissistic, but that's not why. And actually the little mouse from Cinderella Gus Gus. I love Gus. So those are my two favorites. Wow. How about your favorite movie with those be your favorite movies? No, all time favorite movie is sleeping beauty. Wow. Fantastic stuff. Michelle Hemingway here on trainer talk presented by facing tipton. I told you she was well rounded and obviously a big fan of Disney and the characters and it's her happy place when she's not at the racetrack. Her happy place last Saturday was at Gulfstream park when manor house crossed the finish line first giving her her first victory here in the U.S. and Michelle. I can tell you I know just listening to this conversation. You're going to have many more top moments ahead of you on the racetrack. Well, thank you very much. I really appreciate your time and your interest. Yeah, this has been fantastic. All the best moving forward and keep up the great work and you and Nick and the team down there. Keep it rolling. Thank you so much. All right, Michelle Hemingway here on trainer talk presented by phasic tipton. What a fascinating conversation, huh? What an incredible hour. That's what this show is all about. I mean, she touched on so many things. And if you missed any portion of it, please go back to our website, horse racing radio .NET. Check it out at your leisure. You will thoroughly enjoy this hour of trainer talk here tonight. But some of the things that she's learned along the way. And she has worked with some of the biggest names in the sport when her time in South Africa. You heard her talk about her family's history and legacy in the sport and they have left behind a legacy, both her grandfather, and her father. Her aunt, she talked about them. So she comes from a racing family, but now to be having this kind of success. And here she is and she said people were asking her as she was walking over. To the paddock to saddle last week and at Gulfstream to saddle manor house, people were asking her, why now? Why make the move now? Why do this? And as she said, the opportunity presented itself. And you kind of got the sense from hearing her story that that's what it's all about. That's what it's always been about for Michelle Hemingway. The opportunities.

"And ended up buying race horses and sat on the Olympic Committee because he was such a large athlete and had been in Munich and got involved in decided, put a group together, decided that show jumping put it in front of the illicit committee, they accepted it, and then he eventually became the chef to keep it the Canadian equestrian team. Wow, what a fascinating life, huh? Yes, he was an amazing man. What was his name, Michelle? His name was Brigadier general William Dennis Whittaker. Man, so you mentioned the Hamilton Tiger cats and his time in the CFL. Have you ever had a chance to spend any time with Jim Lawson up at woodbine? I have not no. I am not. I haven't actually been to woodbine since I was a little kid when I went back and no maybe a little older than that. My dad's horse that he trained. Held the track record at woodbine. We'll still hold it on the original surface going three quarters of a mile and they did like a celebration for him when I was I think 17. So that was the last time I was at wood vine. Yeah, so Jim Lawson is now the CEO of woodbine, but he was the chairman of the board of the Canadian football league for many many hours. And he and I talk about that quite often when he joins me here on the show. He would appreciate that story. I'm sure he's probably familiar with your grandfather's story, but he would appreciate hearing that story. If you ever get a chance to meet him, I'm sure you guys would have a lot in common. Yeah, that'd be fantastic. Yeah. So is there anything you've taken from the show horse world that you now incorporate when you're working with the thoroughbreds? Are there some similarities? Yeah, I think for sure. I mean, that's one thing that I enjoy talking with Nick about because, you know, he agrees with me that the whole basis of these horses come from their high end. And a lot of times, you see some of these sources go to the racetrack and they just go as fast as they can, turning left and they're putting all their weight forward on their front end because they don't really know what collection is. And how to get along leg on them and sit up and teach them how to use their high end. If you don't teach your horse how to use their high end, they're never going to be able to hold together in front. So Nick has some visions for the future that I think are really going to help at this farm and the way he rides on allowing people to learn to collect the horse and make their hind end go first before their front end. Instead of just tearing around turning left as quickly as they can. All right, forgive my ignorance here, Michelle, but it doesn't a horse just run the way a horse runs. How do you teach them to run differently and use their hind end? Well, because naturally, I mean, it's horse to horse. Some horses are more naturally going to be on their high end. Other horses are going to more naturally be on their front end. It's just like, it's just like a person one person might walk with their toes a little more in than the other person. So you have to teach a horse when you're on their back. You have to teach them through your hand and through your body and through your leg. How to get them to engage their high end because naturally, they're not going to sit there. It's just like if you go to the gym, right? If you go to the gym and you're just allowed to lift the lightest weights possible. You're going to just lift the lightest way possible, right? You're going to do the easiest way to do the least amount to get out of there. But once someone teaches you how to use your body and how to work in the gym and how to use your core properly, then you do it. It's the same with the horses. You have to get on them. And as a rider, you're not just a passenger. You have to use your hands and your legs and your body all together to teach that horse and give them instructions how to use their body. At what age do you start teaching them to do that? Right away, I mean, basically, as soon as they start the breaking process, you start teaching them how to use their body. Wow. Wow. Can that be a complicated process or a difficult process when you're working with a young horse or do they usually pick up on it pretty quickly? I mean, it's definitely from horse to horse. I think it's way easier when you're teaching a young horse, right? Like when you're teaching one that's never been broken and you're going to break it and you're going to teach it from the ground up, it's definitely easier to take one of those and teach them the proper instructions, how to use themselves behind, whereas it's more challenging when you get one in that maybe someone else broke or it's been at the racetrack for X amount of time. And it's got some bad habits. Then you have to get that horseback and retrain it to use their body properly and go forward from there. Believe it or not, we are halfway home in this edition of trainer top presented by facing tipton coming up on this commercial break. I will continue my conversation with Michelle Hemingway when I return. Stay with me. This is indeed trainer.

"As they get off the horse carrier and they pass by the state vet, they have to stand on a scale. And they get their weight. And the better in South Africa are allowed to see what the horse's weight is. And it shows for each and every race, how much they weigh, so they can get an idea for their bedding, whether they're over or under. Oh, wow. So it's not just the jockeys that have to do it, like they do here in the states, it's the horses, too. Yeah, and the states they use and I'm sorry in South Africa, they use the horses weight in a bedding sense. Absolutely. And I don't see as many on the scales here as I did over there. But you hear they do it all more off I but I think it's definitely a thing with these sources like you know when they're too heavy when they're too light wear their weight should be distributed versus where it is in that moment. And that's when you know you have them really where they should be. Do you think that's an effective handicapping angle? Michelle for people that are trying to pick a winner to know the horse's weight? I mean, I don't know. I think over there, I think in South Africa, this, they don't, or at least. I mean, I've been back here now. Gosh, longer than I'd like to imagine, probably about 13 years I've been back from South Africa. I've gone back and forth a few times, but I've been back training here now for 13 years. And 13 years ago when we were there, they didn't have all the different handicapping tools like we do here. They didn't use fire speed figures. They didn't use rag numbers and things like that. So I think in that situation, it probably did help the betters. Over here I'm not sure if it would make that much of a difference. Michelle Hemingway, my special guest here on trainer talk presented by facing tipton. Michelle, let's go back to the beginning here for a minute. And I do want to get to your time in South Africa and talk about some of the people that you had the chance to work with there and some of the horses, but take me back to the beginning. How did Michelle Hemingway first become interested in horses and horse racing? Actually, I'm third generation. Horse person, my grandfather, my paternal grandfather is actually the person that is credited with making show jumping and Olympic sports. Oh, wow. And yeah, he was an avid rider, fox hunter, racehorse owner in Canada. My aunt was an avid show jumper. My father was a racehorse trainer. And so I grew up in it. And it was interesting as I grew up as a kid. I would, in the mornings, I would have to get up, feed the horses, gallop, a few, go to school, in the afternoons. I would have to go to my aunt's house, ride the show jumpers, then go home and do homework. And so I kind of did both. I did, you know, Gaussian in the morning. I did show jumpers in the afternoon. I became a really avid equestrian showing all over the country and Canada and Mexico. And then I went to sleep for a college on a riding scholarship. And studied international equine business and marketing at sweetbriar and I had a minor in Spanish and rode all throughout university and then the rest is history, got jobs and the racing industry, but I still ride show jumpers for fun. So I've always been involved. What led you to study international equine marketing? It was actually interesting at swear at the time we didn't have an equestrian major. And Shelby French was the director of the writing school. And she and I talked and I was originally I was thinking about going to vet school, but I always knew I wanted to rather do more of the training side to Shelby and I sat down and we said, well, let's write a business degree that deals with equine. So we put together animal behavior classes, animal science classes, business classes, and marketing classes, and we created the major for sweetbrier in 2003, and it's been now a major super ever since then. I minored in Spanish because all of the women on my father's side of the family my aunt my cousin and myself were all fluent in Spanish. So it just made sense to do Spanish as a minor seeing as I work in the horse industry. Yeah, are you fluent in Spanish now? Yes, I am. Yeah, wonderful. Boy, what a story. What a background that is. So this was all you ever wanted to do, Michelle, right? Just be around horses? Yep, pretty much. Yeah. That story about your grandfather's fantastic with the Olympics. Tell me a little bit more about that. So my grandfather was actually he grew up in Canada. He was born in Alberta, and then he came and he went to the royal military college of Canada. And it's a very prestigious school. And he played with an avid sportsman. He played football for the Hamilton Tiger cats and he was drafted while he went into the war World War II. And he became a general and when he got out of the war, he decided to spend more time with his horses and his riding because he'd always grown up doing it. And became involved.

"So they can get their prime physical activity in that race. How good do you think manor house can be? Well, I can tell you this. He's pretty much as good as most of the horses that have been really good that I had in my hands on. I think he's very talented. How long does it take you to know that when you start working with a horse? Honestly, it's funny. This was the first time I saw him and I looked at him in the stall. I just had a feeling. He just, he has a presence. And he has a class about him. And you really get a feeling. And that was, before I ever even watched and trained on the track. And then as I watched him train on the track, every little thing you asked him to do, he would do and he would do better. So he was kind of like that. That student in school that's working to go to Yale that doesn't do just enough, but goes above and beyond each and every time without being overcooked or overpressured, just does it very easily. Pretty cool stuff talking to Michelle Hemingway here on trainer talk presented by phasic tipton, you heard us talk about manor house who became her first horse that she ever settled here in the United States and it became her first winter shortly after that. When you were walking over with manor house, Michelle and you walked into the paddock, tell me about that moment. What was that like leading him over? I'll be honest with you. I think the thing that was the most disappointing is that Gulfstream park, people make fun of me for this. They give like best turned out awards. So I worked really hard. I wanted him to look beautiful. I had the black bridle on the black and blue brow band. I braided his main myself. I made him look all pretty. And I was like, okay, I want to share my lynch and I'm like, no, you better look at my horse, because he looks good. And I think I was just trying to think about how he looked in the paddock and how he was acting. And, you know, I was hoping that she was going to notice that. So it was funny, you know, I'm a girl, so we think about those things. Yeah, I mean, well, you got to look the part, right? Right. You know, I'm curious to get your thoughts on this. How much different is it leading a horse over that you've worked with for so long and you're the trainer of record. It's going to be your first starter here in the states, as opposed to leading a horse over that is trained by somebody else. You're the assistant trainer or whatever the case might be. But now that you're the one in charge and you've had a hand in getting this horse to the races, how much different was that for you making that walk? To be honest with you, when I was an assistant, I always sort of considered them to be my horses. So I felt the same amount of pressure. If that makes any sense. I think the thing was, it was all the eyes that were on me and all the questions that I was getting, oh, wow, why now? How did you get here? What is it about this horse? You know, as opposed to it wasn't really a thought process of the horse being any different or the result being any different. It was more of the questions that were coming from people of like, why did you decide to do it with this horse? Where did this come from, you know? Yeah, so why did you decide to do it with this horse? You know, I think mostly because Nick luso offered me the opportunity. If it wasn't for the opportunity that Nick offered me and bringing me to be part of thorough stock and this great organization, I think I probably just would have been okay. You know, posting along and being an assistant or doing this or doing that, but, you know, Nick is really supportive of me and my career and we enjoy looking at horses together. I think we have a really huge respect for one another about the way we handle horses and the way we look at horses and when I told them, I said, you know, not for nothing. I do have my trainer's license, and he made the decision to support me and get me started. Tell me more about thorough stock in the facilities and the work that you guys do there. So.

I mentioned the international side of it. We'll talk about that. But first and foremost, let's start with looking back to last weekend at Gulfstream park and I mentioned your first U.S. horse that you have saddled here in the states it results in a win. What a way to start. Yeah, it was really exciting. I don't think, you know, for as many different horses as I've had the pleasure to be involved with, I don't think there is anything quite as special as that. It's interesting to hear you say that because you have saddled grade one winners, but this was not a great one. It was not a great mistake. And it meant so much to you. Which a lot of people would say, boy, there's no way that can mean as much as the grade one winners. No, it really did. I'll be honest with you, I really have to thank Nick luso for the opportunity with this horse and his faith in me. And I think it was just, you know, it just felt so different because he was a project. You know, everything he kind of became, you know, he kind of became my boyfriend,.

"Where you're going to be able to I think make this a consensus issue amongst the educated people, and do you want to comment on that before I get into the question? Yeah. Yeah, I think it's important that people understand that this isn't just about what happened in 2020. This is about all elections going forward. And you can't just accept rigged elections. You can't just accept like, oh, I guess we live in a place where people can completely pollute the process by which we elect people and there's nothing we can do about it. Democracy depends not on the consent of the winners, but on the losers. And so you have to have systems in place where people can trust results and they can deal with the results, whatever they may be. And you can't have a really messy system and have a democratic aspect to our government continue. Yes. And so that is really kind of where I want to close out this conversation because I always try to be solution oriented, but you can only really be solution oriented if you know the problem, which we've gone through it, and we haven't gone through all of it, by the way. We're just assuming the surface. What can we do to make sure 2022 and 24 is not rigged. Okay, so first off, I'd say don't care at all about the media and what they say about it because the same people who said 2016 was stolen by Donald Trump and now you can't talk about 2020. Just ignore them. They don't matter. But I would say people at the state level do need to understand what their laws are first and foremost ban the private funding of government election offices. That is a no brainer and nobody can defend that. To another issue that is actually very popular across the political spectrum is to ensure that you have voter ID, a voter ID tied to either mail in ballot or voting in person is very important. Also just clarifying the process. Sort of one of the big problems that is out there is just not an agreement on what the rules are. And so you'll see democratic counties sort of saying, we don't really know what the rules are, so we'll flout them and you have Republicans who tend to be very like rule oriented, following the strict letter of the law. The more you can clarify what the law is and how it should be practiced is best. And that's just going to depend on which state it is. But more than anything, just like be involved, be careful, make sure you have proper oversight and make sure that the oversight is in place before the ballots are separated from the envelopes or once they're separated. There's basically nothing you can do. So make sure all the systems are in place at the front end. Well, I just want to reiterate what you said, though, first of all, not care about the media's important. They're going to say your threats democracy and all this. It's a bunch of nonsense, and it's such a sad kind of indictment of where our country is because it's the opposite, honestly, because the ones that are a threat to democracy are the billionaire, oligarchs that no one voted for that just can come in and swoop and purchase the elections. And let me just kind of close with this with the people you're talking to, the smart people in D.C., you know, the important people, are you starting to see a consensus being built that this thing really was an election unlike anything we've ever seen or are you like, hey, we gotta add more fuel to the fire. What are you seeing when it comes to this? Honestly, I never talked to anyone who didn't admit that this was a total mess in 2020. Good. They all actually understood it and they all are working on it. I think they could really improve how they talk about it and go for everybody. Really understanding exactly what the issues are and clarifying and leading the way because it isn't existential threat for people. If we don't, if we can't have secure elections. But I do want to give one thing, which is throughout our history, we have fought over these things. We want to make. Make sure that people who should be voting are voting if they choose to vote and making sure that there isn't cheating. We really have had ongoing issues since before we even were a country. So it's not the end of the world that we're dealing with this. It just requires active participation from concerned citizens and in a way I'm more excited about where people are now that people are totally aware of how important it is to care about voting lists and ballot processes. Like people are much more informed now than they were two years ago and I bet they wish they were this informed two years ago. And that's a huge thing going forward. I agree. And this is the number one issue amongst the conservative base. The book is rigged. Everyone go get it right now, Molly Hemingway from the federalist dot com one of my favorite websites very smart people over there. Molly, thank you so much for joining us and great job with the book. Thank you, Charlie. All right, talk to you soon. Thank you.

"Again, the book is called rigged, I want to make sure I keep on plugging it how the media big tech and Democrats seized our elections. And so I want to get into kind of the mail in ballot piece of this. You wrote this piece for newsweek. Recently, and I think it's actually an essay from your book if I'm not mistaken, right? I think so yeah. Yeah, you wrote here about how the change in the election laws themselves had a profound difference in actually the outcome. And so talk a little bit about this because here's one of my complaints about how people talk about the election, which you've done a phenomenal job of doing the opposite, which is, people get so focused on a certain thing like machines or routers. This is comprehensive that there was so many different elements of this that all kind of worked in harmony together. Please talk about the mail in ballot, aspect of this. Well, and I dove in in Wisconsin for mail in ballots because I find that state to be so fascinating. Wisconsin's constitution says that everyone has the right to vote. They also have the right not to vote and that mail in or absentee balloting, I think is how they put it is a privilege. So there are different standards by which they judge in person, election day voting and absentee mail in balloting. And first off, before COVID or anything else, Wisconsin has a problem where they're not keeping their list as clean as they should. So people move all the time like a huge percentage of the population is constantly moving. You might have had yourself like 18 different addresses and you register to vote at one, and then you move to the next, but you're still on the old list. And so states are supposed to clean up their lists with some regularity. And Wisconsin had a quarter of a million voter registrations that they were supposed to remove from their list, but they didn't, they actually lost a court battle about whether to do it or not, but they still didn't. And then into this mix is COVID and the clerks of the two most democratic counties in the state say, we have this special provision in Wisconsin where you can register to vote without showing an ID. So usually you have to show an ID, but if you say you're indefinitely confined, then you don't have to show an ID. So they tell people to do it because of COVID. And I think they get another quarter of a million people registering to vote without requiring them without a requirement for showing ID. Some of them may have shown ID, but they're not

"But kind of walk through some of the things that you found in researching this because this is one of the most under research topics in the history of news. You have the entire news media just not just uninterested, but they're invested in making sure you don't talk about it. Exactly right. So one of the things that I think is very interesting is that the same democratic operative who ran the Russia lie. That was the lie that Donald Trump stole the 2016 election by colluding with Russia. His name is Mark Elias. He was at Perkins cooey which is this big democratic firm. He recently left to start his own firm at more money and have more power and control. And he was the one that funneled the secretive Russia lie. That was where Hillary Clinton paid for opposition research. It was just inventions, lies, that Donald Trump was planning to steal the 2016 election and that he did steal the 2016 election. They actually have kept it going, this entire time. His name is Marc Elias. He's also the guy who ran the democratic operation to change all voting laws leading up to the 2020 election. And that meant different things in different states. So that could be about watering down the integrity of mail in balloting, that could be expanding the period of time in which you vote so that you're not really sure how many people voted or when they have to get their ballots in by. And he has this array of different groups that he works with, whether they're democratic operatives or nonprofit nonpartisan groups that are actually just kind of arms of the Democratic Party, who would have them file lawsuits. And so it was just this wide ranging operation to weaken the integrity of the election system. And because of COVID, you know, this is something that he had been wanting to do for decades, but because of COVID, suddenly all these judges or other people were more amenable

"The media big tech in the Democrats seized our elections. Hey there folks I'm talking to Mark Hemingway, the author with Molly Hemingway of the new book rigged. Mark, you mentioned a silver lining earlier. One of the silver linings to me in the horror show that's unfolded in the last year and change is that many Americans who were sleeping are waking up. They they've been forced to wake up, whether it's the high gas prices, the lies that they hear about what happened or didn't happen in Afghanistan. Your average American knows that even if they voted for Biden, something's wrong with this picture, they're not getting what they thought. Everything looks not just not great, but in fact, disastrous. So I think that's a good thing. And I think that many Americans have been persuaded that they need to do more that they need to get involved in their democracy and help keep the republic. And I think your book rigged is for a lot of those people that want to find out what can I do to get involved? I need to get involved in my local elections, my state elections. Would you say that this book will appeal to that kind of a person who wants to know how they can help? Absolutely. I think a big part of what happened and what people feel uneasy about the last election is simply because they a lot of things that we're supposed to happen that we're accustomed to happening are not happening anymore. Like, for instance, you know, we can't report to be shocked that Joe Biden is as bad as he has been, thus far, simply because, you know, he wasn't tested in the election. I mean, you know, no one bothered to pull into account. You know, normally, it's the media's job to ask a lot of probing questions and put people on the hot seat. And that just didn't happen. I mean, the guy camped out in his basement for months, and then they pretended that major corruption. And then they literally censored his major corruption stories involving him. So I think that people are one. They're growing much more skeptical of sort of the established authorities, which is good. They need to start thinking much more independently. And the other thing is that they do need to get more involved in sort of their local elections. There are various ways to do that. But they need to start paying attention to what's going on in terms of local city city offices. How elections are managed and what their state legislature is doing to ensure that they have confidence in their elections. Already in states like Georgia, Texas and other places that had all kinds of problems, you're seeing reform movements and hopefully the voters follow through and make sure that those have teeth. The election coming up 2022, it's right around the corner practically. Do you have a sense that the American people will be able to trust what happens then will we be able to move quickly enough? That is a really good question. You know, I don't know. I mean, the 2020 and 2016 were both extraordinarily close elections. And when you have a really close elections, that highlights all of these problems within the system. 2022, at least thus far is not shaping up to be a close, particularly close election. It looks like Republicans are going to do well no matter what. So it's harder to make an issue out of things that might make a difference around the margins in terms of tweaks to election law and things of that nature. So I don't know. If it turns out to be an extraordinarily close election, then, you know, maybe there won't have been time to make a difference. But if it's just a blowout for Republicans, then it won't really matter. I'm not even persuaded that the last election was closed. That's what I think the problem is. In other words, it seems common sense tells you very few people would vote for a doddering man political hack career politician, like Joe Biden. It's just common sense. Some people hated Trump enough that they were willing to do that. But the idea that Trump can get these monstrous crowds, enthusiastic people, and that Biden can barely take questions from the press. I really wonder what the exact results were of the last election. In any event, very grateful to you, Mark Hemingway and tamale Hemingway for writing the book rigged thanks and God bless you..

"There folks I'm talking to Mark. Hemingway, AKA Molly Hemingway. Mark, you mentioned Zuckerberg. He spent 400 million dollars to do something. The question is, was that wrong? Was that illegal? Can we blame him? What went So, in this case, Mark Zuckerberg spent in excess of $400 million on what was supposed to be improving the election infrastructure in America. Ostensibly, these were largely COVID grants like they were supposed to be going to the pay for PPE for election workers and things like that. In reality, he funded this money went through liberal groups where there were strings attached. And all of a sudden these liberal groups, this wasn't just like outside spending or liver groups were going in to try and have an impact on election. These people were embedded in election offices with public officials that were supposed to be bipartisan or non partisan. And as a result, you know, Zuckerberg's own people, essentially, we're doing everything from designing ballots to having access to state voter data is this illegal. No, and that's the crazy thing about it. This is like so insane that anyone would have tolerated this that no one ever even thought to pass any laws against it. You know, right now there's a bill in Congress, for instance, where they want to stop the private funding of deploying of National Guard troops at the border, which is something a bunch of rich people in Texas did recently. And I think there are, I agree with that. I think there are certain functions that are so important that should not be funded privately because of the risk of tainting them. And this is a classic example of that when but Democrats and by the way, this money was by Mark Zuckerberg was deployed in such a way that was extremely partisan, for instance, you know, Trump counties in Pennsylvania received 59 cents in Zuckerberg money per voter, whereas, you know, Biden counties averaged 2.85 per voter in terms of the money they got from Zuckerberg. And this is specifically targeted to democratic counties to basically juice democratic turnout and it came from a Facebook that came from the CEO of Facebook. I mean, if that doesn't sync the high heaven, I don't know what does. The good news is that the Republican legislatures are now trying to ban the private funding of election administration. What happened in Maricopa County recently, everywhere I look, I get the impression. Even if I didn't know what to think or if I didn't have a dog in the fight, I would get the impression that the Democrats are scared to death of transparency. When someone is scared to death of transparency, that tells me they have something to hide. Am I mistaken? Have I misread some of the foot dragging that I have seen in Arizona and in other places? Well, I mean, obviously, there was a lot going on there with the Arizona recount and some of it was did seem a little crazy, but having said that in terms of the initial decision to do a recount, Arizona was a state that was well known for actually running fairly clean elections. I mean, the Arizona is not like Pennsylvania or Wisconsin where there are a long history of shenanigans in terms of counting ballots. And Arizona was the opposite of that. So why anyone would have feared a recount in Arizona, especially when it didn't actually change things? I think does kind of reveal to what you're saying there that they are suspected transparency. When you refer to shenanigans, are you talking about anti American criminal activity? Well, like, for instance, you know, in 2020, a former democratic congressman was indicted by the Justice Department for fraud over several elections in Philadelphia, involving tampering with voting machines. I mean, like, that stuff still happens in America. You know, is it you know on a crazy widespread basis? Well, it's hard to say because there's so little effort in this country put into policing voter fraud. But, you know, we know it's been a major part of our history and what's crazy is that most people don't realize it wasn't until like 1950 or so that all 50 states basically had private in person voting in this country that had a secret ballot. You know, which is something that we've taken grant for granted forever. There's been a history of corruption in this country. Do you discount machine fraud along the lines of what Mike lindell got into? The reason I ask is because there was a film put out by HBO, a few years ago called kill chain. Coming mainly from a democratic point of view, but it made extremely clear. That it is possible to hack the machines couldn't be easier, frankly, to hack the machines. And the Democrats were deeply worried about it. And the moment the election was called for Biden, everybody went mom, nobody mentions kill chain made by HBO, hardly in bed with the GOP, or the Trump voter. What do you think about that side of things? Because a lot of people think that if we don't go to paper ballots, if we don't do away with these mysterious machines, no one will ever believe that the election was not stolen. Yeah. Well, I think that there is no proof that is, you know, convincing proof that has emerged at all that voting machines were hacked or tampered with in such a way that it had a significant impact on the 2020 election. That is not the same thing as saying that just because there's no proof, and I'm not saying that just because there's no proof that we should not be concerned about how easy voting machines are to hack. I mean, obviously, cybersecurity experts have demonstrated this again and again and again and again. And we have plenty of reasons to believe that cyber warfare and all these other things are ramping up. So this is something that we need to be very, very careful about. And it's like everything else, you know, a big part of the reliability of our system and a big part of our democracy relies upon them and this is something time in the book. The consent of the losers, you know, that we all accept the results are valid. And if you don't have confidence in the election and that confidence is not widely shared, then you have a huge huge problem on your hands, regardless of whether or not there's proof of there being there being an election hacked or outright fraud. So you need to put you need to put measures in place so that people have confidence in the outcome. And unfortunately for Democrats and their agenda, that does mean much more emphasis on in person voting and much less emphasis on electronic voting, I think, as we go, why wouldn't China, for example, the Chinese communist leaders? They're evil. They don't, they not only don't believe in God. They don't believe that human beings or anything except product to be used as they see fit. Why would people that are as immoral as that shrink from doing anything they possibly could to install a man who's effectively a puppet who will certainly never dream of standing up to them in the way that Trump did, isn't it perfectly logical to assume that they would do everything to make that happen? It just strikes me that way. I don't think that's a crazy concern at all. I mean, obviously, tampering with an election on that scale is not above China and it's certainly possibility. I mean, I can only say that, you know, no convincing proof is emerged. That has happened. Well, forgive me, we're going to go to a break a few more minutes left. With Molly Hemingway and Mark Hemingway, brand new book, rigged,.

"Time, you're counting on the local authorities or in this case, a democratic Justice Department to go in and point out that Democrats are cheating and you know that's not going to happen. So a lot of this is about restoring the perception of fairness to our elections because there were several things that happened where the election laws were applied inconsistently and they created opportunities for fraud. And nobody knows what happened. And so people are right to have questions about this. So you're going out on a limb and saying that fraud is wrong. Yes. Election fraud is very wrong. But, you know, in contrary to what a lot of people have said, you know, election fraud is also very real. And we have at least one presidential election in living memory in 1960 where historians sort of broadly agree that, you know, there's plenty of evidence to suggest it might literally have been stolen from the person who rightfully won it. And at the same time, you know, there are plenty of isolated examples of voter fraud or problems with mail in ballots. There was an entire election that we talked about in the book and I broke this news nationally in 2020 where Patterson New Jersey was a city council election that was substantially tainted by mail in ballot fraud, where they figured something like 30% of the mail in ballots were fraudulently cast. Well, it's always difficult in a sense to come to terms with a reality without appearing to say as though well, these things happen. It's kind of like, you know, if the neighbor rapes and kills someone else and somebody says, well, you know, boys will be boys. You would most people would be offended and saying, that's not appropriate to say that just because it's happened before. It's horrific. I get the idea that many Americans are convinced that the election was in fact stolen. And of course, there are all these different words and ways to look at it. So before we go further into what I think is vitally important, which is what you write about in this book with Mali. About how to fix it. Do you rule out that the election was stolen even though you don't make that case? That's not what the book is about. I think that in an election where you know, well over a 150 million ballots were cast. That was decided by 40,000 votes across a handful of states. You know, you can't have a lot of confidence that that result was accurate at the end of the day. You know, I mean, there are plenty of other ways, you know, again, I would stress though to think about how this election was rigged other than your actual ballot counting. I mean, for instance, you talked about this in the book, and this polling showing that had the media accurately reported the Hunter Biden scandal instead of literally broadly censoring it that enough votes would have changed hands easily to provide and to have lost the election. So yeah, like I said, you know, there are all kinds of specific things here that, you know, cast out upon how this election turned out. But you could largely say that about any close election. One of the frustrating things about what's going on here is that, you know, you have to remember, there were official protests by Democrats in Congress. And widespread conspiracy theories surrounding the 2002 1004 election and the 2016 election, which were all coincidentally won by Republicans. And go back to 2004, we're talking like crazy conspiracies about Carl rose cronies hacking voting machines in Ohio. And this was largely accepted by the mainstream media. You know, the Hillary Clinton spent four years after 2016 literally calling Trump an illegitimate president that was installed by Russians and explicitly saying this. And this was never condemned. And now all of a sudden, Biden ekes out the narrowest of victories in the circumstances and it's been totally illegitimate and unpatriotic to even suggest there might be problems in our voting system. Where do we lay the blame? In other words, I think that there's layers, right? To me, the idea that a number of deep state actors, you don't call themselves that. But would sign a letter calling the Hunter Biden laptop, Russian disinformation. I think in a civilized society in the 19th century, many of them would be shot. In other words, I think that this is a level of horror in America that we've now act as though well, these are grave grave crimes against democracy because we all know that it wasn't Russian disinformation. So the idea that people would prostitute their titles and the credibility they've earned over decades for a nakedly political act I just confess that I don't know where to go with it. I'm staggered that we've come to this point. Not even to touch upon the idea that an entire journalistic class. Apart from heroes like you and Molly Hemingway, your wife and others, a few heroes would actually talk about this. But this is at least unprecedented in our lifetimes. I just can't remember anything that even comes near this, including 1968, then what followed? Yeah. You know, we tried to talk about this in the book. I mean, part of the problem, I think here is that people have a hard time wrapping their heads around the totality of the problem. It would be very almost comforting to think that there's someone behind the scenes twirling their mustache, you know, pulling all the strings and making all this happen. But the reality is is that we have this sort of like hive mind that operates by playing cultural divides against each other, where people just do this stuff, you know, kind of on in locks in lockstep without being told what to do, right? They're just convinced that the other side is so bad that they can bend the rules because they're saving us from some sort of larger harm. It's like that great C. S. Lewis quote about, you know, how much worse to live under moral busybodies than, you know, criminals, essentially, because the moral busybodies will torment you without end, you know, rather than simply satiating the grid. And that's, I think what's going on here. Like you mentioned, for instance, the case of the 50 intelligence professionals that came out and condemned the Hunter Biden laptop as Russian disinformation without knowing at all, whether it was Russian disinformation. I mean the reality is is these people are just so gaslighted that the opposition is evil. But they're willing to say whatever they need to do. That's the point. And parenthetically, that's why Hitler killed the Jews. He thought they were bad. And he needed to take action. We're going to be right back talking to the husband, so I'm told of Molly Hemingway, the book is rigged how the media big tech and the Democrats seized our elections, don't go away. Hey, folks Eric, taxes here. Joe Biden and the Democrats have laid out the most socialist agenda, our country has ever seen. Instead of following president Trump's blueprint that had the economy booming, the Dems are going to raise taxes, increase regulations and skyrocket and already outrageous national debt.

They sell the three week quick start pack for just 1995 to anyone struggling from pain like neck shoulder back, hip or knee pain, 1995, about $1 a day.

In fact, they don't even break even until about four to 5 months after if you keep ordering it. Friends, that's huge. People don't keep ordering relief factor month after month if it doesn't work. So yes, Pete and Seth are literally on a mission to help as many people as possible deal with their pain. They really do put their money where their mouths are.

How the media big tech and the Democrats seized are elections. You'll notice it doesn't say stole our elections, and I'm going to ask the author Molly Hemingway who is a friend and just a lovely person and a great and heroic journalist. I want to ask her why the title says rigged, but it doesn't say stolen in any event. Why waste any more time? Ladies and gentlemen, the lovely Molly Hemingway Mali. You're looking especially lovely today. How are you? I'm doing fine. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. You're not Molly. Who is this person? I would be mister Molly Hemingway. Oh, you're marking her marriage. You know something. I met you, and now that you mention it, thank goodness. I was really worried. I said, everybody's been having a tough season. And I thought, if Molly's let herself go to this extent, we need to cut this off right now. Mark, how long have you guys been married? There's a nice question. We have been married for gosh. It'll be 15 years in three days. Wow. You're getting up there. The two of you do work together. I did have the privilege finally of meeting you. I've read your tweets and other things over the years. But how is it that you come to be representing her on this book tour? Well, I'm not really telling tales out of school. I mean, I don't want to take away from me, you know, achievements my wife, which are, you know, monumental. However, I ended up largely co writing this book with her. She says so in the acknowledgments of the book, even though my name isn't on the cover. You know, at the end of the day, the book money I'll go to the same bank account, I guess. But the circumstances in which we wrote this book were under an incredibly short time frame and other things that we felt was necessary to get this book out in time to discuss it this fall ahead of the election next year. And I just ended up getting drafted to help her do all the heavy lifting. Well, I'm glad you're here because there is unfortunately no more important subject than whether the greatest country in the history of the world still has free elections. I'm under the apprehension that we don't. And I can't think of anything worse because it affects everything. So what is your principle thesis in the book? It's called rigged. It's possible, of course, to rig an election legally. And then there's this thing called stealing and going to jail. So what is your thesis? Well, there's obviously been a lot of stuff that's been thrown around since the election about various nefarious things that went on with the vote counting and things like that. We at no point assert in this book that the election was quote unquote stolen that way that the votes were miscounted or anything like that. At the same time, I think that there are plenty of things that can be done over the course of an election such that it will be conducted in such a way that people perceive it to not be a free and fair election. And so in that respect, we try to step back and take some sort of 30,000 foot view of everything that happened the election. And a lot of ways it's campaign book in terms of covering how the media reported important news. But there is also granular reporting, for instance on election laws in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin and Georgia are things like that. And all kinds of things that should make people very wary about the specifics of our election system. It's just that it seems to me when it comes to the problems with counting votes. The whole game basically is to create the circumstances where fraud can occur. And because they know that if fraud does happen, it's virtually impossible to root it out after the fact. I mean, fraud is most likely to occur among urban democratic machines in places like Milwaukee and Philadelphia where they actually have an established history of this sort of thing..

But I feel we're both committed to marriage. We have this crazy idea because we read the Bible and sometimes we take it literally where it says that Jesus doesn't allow marriage and stuff. And we're crazy enough to go that extra mile and say, yeah, we're gonna believe what Jesus said because technically he just got along. So we, but we can testify that if you do go through the tough times, your marriage gets stronger. That's true. And it's an interesting thing. Because our marriage is unbelievably strong. No, seriously, I've seen that. And I've witnessed it to some extent in my marriage. So Alban, first of all, I want to say, I know you drew this. I did. Yes. And because I care about you, I'm not going to show Suzanne the picture you've drawn of her because what not? I don't know. Well, you know what, now that you mention it, it looks exactly like honey, I have to do it by memory. Okay, I'm gonna blow this out. Since Suzanne and I are one, we blow with one breath, rua. And I had a blue candle in a pink candle, so there you go. Is this the blue one? That would be you. How can you tell it's blue? And that would be, and this is pink. I could tell just by the color. This is so sweet. We're going to eat this on the break and I'm going to bring a slice home for my current wife. What's your name again? Shoot. I always forget. It looks like that. Let me see. Oh, that's Suzanne. Yes. Seriously, is this such a happy day? I have to joke, right? I have to pay. Here, just to bring things down a notch. Okay. Because people think, oh, that's so sweet, whatever. Let me just get really nasty and mercenary. Just to show you that I'm that kind of a guy. Nothing would bless Susan and me more than if you pre ordered a copy of my new book is atheism dead. Why? Because we have a heart for evangelism. And we live in a cancel culture and books like is atheism dead tend not to find their way into airport bookstores where all of the Michelle Obama memoirs are located, stuff like that. So in order to get there, the book has to be huge out of the gate. There is information in this book that is going to astonish believers and non believers alike. It's all true, and I think we're in for a paradigm shift. Obviously, I only think my book is a small part of that. But I think something is happening in the country. People are waking up. And the information in this book from science pointing to God from biblical archeology and then the stuff at the end of the book, which is, I think, in a really freaking people out, I just want to say it needs to do well out of the gate. So if you want to wish us well on our 25th anniversary, I know I can speak for Suzanne that we would be thrilled if you would preorder many copies of the book so that when it officially comes out next week, all of those pre orders will accrue to the first week and potentially we will get on some bestseller lists. And by the way, if you didn't read it twice get two books because I noticed as I'm reading it, the page will disappear. And I can't go back. Right. Right. That was designed into it. So you have to get multiple copies. But after you've read it once, you're really do want a fresh copy. You never want to read the same book twice. Speaking as an author, but no, seriously, there's a link at our website. Eric metaxas dot com. I believe it's the baker link. I can't say officially. But the book, the $28 book is 1497 there. So if you want to buy multiple copies for Christmas, and I'm.
