00:00:00>> THANKS SO MUCH. >> APPRECIATE IT
00:00:02>> UP NEXT, REPUBLICAN ANTHONY DILORENZO, WHO'S RUNNING TO
00:00:06REPRESENT NEW HAMPSHIRE'S FIRST CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT. HE WAS
00:00:10JOINED BY WISCONSIN CONGRESSMAN BRIAN STEELE AT A VOTER ROUNDTABLE ON ELECTION
00:00:14INTEGRITY. THEY TALKED ABOUT THEIR SHARED SUPPORT FOR THE GOP VOTER ID AND CITIZENSHIP
00:00:17REQUIREMENTS LEGISLATION, WHILE
00:00:19ANSWERING VOTERS QUESTIONS ON ELECTION OVERSIGHT, CRIMINAL
00:00:23SENTENCING FOR ELECTION FRAUD,
00:00:24AND THE ROLE OF CONGRESS IN
00:00:28ADDRESSING ELECTION
00:00:29IRREGULARITIES.
00:00:36>> YEAH, WE GOT LIKE TEN. >> MILES OF COAST OUT OF IT. I LOVE IT, YES WE DO.
00:00:39>> I LOVE IT.
00:00:40>> YEAH. WELL >> MAYBE. DO YOU WANT ME TO
00:00:44OPEN. I, I'LL PASS IT TO YOU.
00:00:47ANTHONY. SURE. UM, FIRST, THANKS FOR COMING OUT. UM, I THINK IT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO
00:00:51KIND OF TALK ABOUT, UH, THE WORK THAT WE'VE DONE ON ELECTION INTEGRITY, UH, AT THE NATIONAL
00:00:55LEVEL, BUT ALSO A LOT OF THE WORK THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE. UH,
00:00:59YET ALSO, UM, THANKS FOR COMING OUT AND SUPPORTING ANTHONY. WE
00:01:02NEED HIS HELP IN WASHINGTON. UH,
00:01:04YOU GUYS KNOW, WE GOT A NARROW MAJORITY. UH, WE HAVE A THREE
00:01:07SEAT MAJORITY ON A REGULAR DAY.
00:01:10UM, AND IF WE EXPANDED THAT TO FOUR, UM, THAT WOULD BE
00:01:13SPECTACULAR. I THINK WE CAN GO BEYOND THAT. UH, IT'S REALLY
00:01:16GREAT TO BE HERE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. I'M FROM WISCONSIN. UH, THERE'S CERTAIN
00:01:20SIMILARITIES. UH, WE WERE JUST TALKING THAT YOU GUYS HAVE THE HIGHEST PER CAPITA, UH,
00:01:23MOTORCYCLE OWNERSHIP IN THE COUNTRY. UH, AND HE OWNS A
00:01:26HARLEY, WHICH IS A GREAT WISCONSIN PRODUCT. SO A LOT OF SIMILARITIES. ALTHOUGH THE
00:01:30WEATHER TODAY, IT'S LIKE SOMEBODY BROUGHT THE WASHINGTON,
00:01:33D.C. SWAMP UP HERE. UH, SO WE
00:01:36ALL LOOK FORWARD TO IT COOLING DOWN SOON. UM, WE'LL KIND OF
00:01:39DIVE IN, KIND OF TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ELECTION INTEGRITY, OPEN IT UP TO YOUR GUYS'S
00:01:43QUESTIONS. UH, BUT BEFORE, I JUST WANT TO SAY THANKS FOR COMING OUT AND I'LL PASS IT TO,
00:01:46UH, MY FRIEND ANTHONY. >> YEAH. I'D LIKE TO THANK EVERYBODY, ESPECIALLY. IT'S A
00:01:50BEAUTIFUL SUNDAY. IT'S A BIG SACRIFICE TO COME OUT. BUT WE,
00:01:52WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT. WE NEED YOUR HELP. UH, I THINK WE ALL
00:01:56KNOW WHAT'S AT STAKE HERE. AND IT'S, IT'S, IT REALLY REMINDS
00:01:59ME OF WHAT OUR FOREFATHERS WENT
00:02:02THROUGH. WE ARE FIGHTING SOME CRAZINESS, REALLY ON THE ON THE
00:02:06FAR LEFT. AND IT'S IMPORTANT
00:02:08THAT WE ALL GET GET INVOLVED.
00:02:11AND, AND, UH, ELECTION INTEGRITY COMES UP A LOT WHEN I'M OUT ON
00:02:14THE ROAD. I WAS AT THE, UH, RED
00:02:18ARROW DINER AND SOMEBODY APPROACHED ME ABOUT IT. AND, UH,
00:02:21RECENTLY, ANOTHER STOP, SOMEBODY
00:02:23SPECIFICALLY ABOUT MARRIED WOMEN
00:02:26AND HOW IT IMPACTS THEM, UH, WITH A NAME CHANGE. BUT, UH,
00:02:30I'M INTERESTED TO HEAR YOUR THOUGHTS ON IT AND WHAT'S HAPPENING IN DC. I'VE TALKED
00:02:33TO, UH, OUR SECRETARY OF STATE HERE, AND I'M VERY CONFIDENT IN
00:02:37NEW HAMPSHIRE, BUT THAT'S, THAT'S ONE STATE OUT OF
00:02:41>> WELL, MAYBE I'LL KIND OF GIVE YOU A HIGHLIGHT OF SOME OF THE WORK WE'RE DOING IN DC, AND THEN OPEN IT UP TO QUESTIONS.
00:02:45DOES THAT SOUND GOOD? UM, FIRST, UH, AS I SAID, THANKS FOR BEING
00:02:49HERE. I THINK THERE'S TWO MAJOR THINGS THAT WE SHOULD BE DOING
00:02:52AS IT RELATES TO ELECTION INTEGRITY. ONE IS THE SAFE ACT,
00:02:55WHICH I THINK MOST OF YOU HAVE PROBABLY HEARD ABOUT WITH TWO
00:02:58KEY PROVISIONS. THE TWO KEY PROVISIONS ARE YOU HAVE TO BE A
00:03:01US CITIZEN TO VOTE IN US ELECTIONS, AND YOU GOT TO SHOW
00:03:05YOUR PHOTO IDENTIFICATION WHEN YOU GO TO THE POLLS TO VOTE. I
00:03:07THINK A PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD CONCEPTS THAT ARE OVERWHELMINGLY
00:03:11POPULAR. THEY'RE POPULAR BECAUSE THEY'RE COMMON SENSE. UH, THE DEMS LOVE TO ATTACK THEM. UH,
00:03:15JUST AS ANTHONY WAS SAYING. AND
00:03:16WHAT THEY WANT TO DO IS PROVIDE
00:03:20YOU A BUNCH OF MISINFORMATION ON IT. UH, I WAS DOWN DEBATING, UH,
00:03:23THE BILL, UH, IN PARTICULAR, DEBATING THE PHOTO IDENTIFICATION PIECE. AND WE
00:03:27WERE BACK AND FORTH WITH DEMOCRATS ON IT. AND I FLY HOME
00:03:30EVERY WEEKEND BACK TO, TO WISCONSIN. I FLEW HOME, LANDED.
00:03:33I WAS DRIVING TO MY HOUSE, AND I
00:03:36PULLED OVER AND PICKED UP A SIX
00:03:37PACK OF BEER AND WALKED IN, AND
00:03:41THE CLERK RECOGNIZED ME AND SAID, HEY, BRIAN, GOOD TO SEE YOU. I SAID, IT'S GREAT TO SEE YOU AS WELL. UH, SHE SAID,
00:03:45BRIAN, I NEED TO SEE YOUR ID. I SAID, SURE, OPEN UP MY WALLET,
00:03:49HAND MY ID. SHE HANDS IT BACK. SHE LETS ME BUY THE SIX PACK OF
00:03:52BEER, AND AS I'M LEAVING, I THOUGHT TO MYSELF, IT IS
00:03:56ABSOLUTELY NUTS THAT WE PROTECT OUR BEER MORE THAN OUR BALLOTS
00:03:59IN JURISDICTIONS ACROSS THIS COUNTRY. UH, SOME STATES LIKE
00:04:03WISCONSIN, UH, AND YOU GUYS HAVE PHOTO IDENTIFICATION. UH, BUT A
00:04:05LOT OF STATES DON'T, UH, NEW
00:04:12YORK, CALIFORNIA, ILLINOIS. UH, NO IDENTIFICATION REQUIRED. MY NEIGHBORING STATE OF WISCONSIN IS MINNESOTA, IN ADDITION TO
00:04:15ILLINOIS. UH, AND THERE, AN INDIVIDUAL CAN VOUCH FOR UP TO
00:04:18EIGHT OTHER PEOPLE. SO YOU COULD
00:04:21LEAVE THE LEERING CENTER, UH, GO TO THE POLLS, UH, AND VOUCH FOR
00:04:25EIGHT PEOPLE, UH, THAT THEY ARE WHO THEY SAY THEY ARE. THESE ARE
00:04:28PRETTY BASIC CONCEPTS. IF YOU CAN'T BUY A SIX PACK OF BEER
00:04:31WITHOUT A PHOTO ID, YOU SHOULD BE MAKING SURE THAT YOU'RE DOING
00:04:34A PHOTO IDENTIFICATION TO VOTE.
00:04:35THESE ARE SIMPLE AND KIND OF
00:04:41CORE CONCEPTS. ELECTION INTEGRITY >> AND REMEMBER, MAMDANI, UH, SUPERMARKETS, YOU KNOW, YOU NEED
00:04:45AN ID TO GET IN THERE, RIGHT? SO YOU CAN VOTE, BUT YOU CAN'T BUY FOOD.
00:04:47>> YOU KNOW, BUT, AND YOU BRING
00:04:52UP A SPECTACULAR POINT, WHICH IS THE HYPOCRISY OF THE LEFT ON THIS ISSUE. THAT'S A GOOD POINT.
00:04:54YOU WANT TO GO TO A LOT OF DEMOCRATIC EVENTS. UH, THEY'LL
00:04:58REQUIRE YOU TO BRING A PHOTO ID TO SHOW UP TO THEIR POLITICAL
00:05:02EVENTS. YOU WANT TO GO TO A GOVERNMENT OWNED GROCERY STORE
00:05:04IN NEW YORK CITY, YOU NEED A
00:05:07PHOTO ID? UM, THE LIST GOES ON.
00:05:09THEY JUST DON'T WANT IT AS IT RELATES TO VOTING. AND THE
00:05:13REASONS ARE PRETTY OBVIOUS. THEY'RE OPPOSING COMMON SENSE
00:05:16ON, ON THE US CITIZEN SIDE, I'M
00:05:19OF THE VIEW THAT US, THE US ELECTION SHOULD BE FOR US
00:05:22CITIZENS ONLY, PERIOD. FULL STOP. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO RECOGNIZE WHEN I STARTED THIS
00:05:26PUSH ON ELECTION INTEGRITY, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE SAW TIME
00:05:30AND AGAIN WAS PEOPLE DIDN'T BELIEVE ME, THAT THERE WERE
00:05:34DEMOCRATS THAT WANTED NON-CITIZENS TO VOTE. UH, BUT
00:05:36I'LL SHOW YOU THE EVIDENCE OF THIS. IN WASHINGTON, D.C., IN OUR NATION'S CAPITAL, UNDER
00:05:40CURRENT LAW. SO UNDER CURRENT
00:05:44LAW, NON-CITIZENS ARE LEGALLY ALLOWED TO VOTE FOR MUNICIPAL IN
00:05:47MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS. SO IF
00:05:50YOU'RE VOTING FOR THE MAYOR OF OUR NATION'S CAPITAL, YOU DON'T
00:05:54NEED TO BE A US CITIZEN. SO LET ME WALK YOU THROUGH HOW CRAZY THIS IS. SAY YOU ARE. SAY
00:05:58THERE'S AN INDIVIDUAL WHO'S A RUSSIAN NATIONAL WORKING AT THE
00:06:01RUSSIAN EMBASSY WITH A RUSSIAN PASSPORT THIS FALL. THEY COULD
00:06:05WALK OUT OF THAT EMBASSY, WALK
00:06:08TO A POLLING STATION, NOT NEED TO SHOW THEIR PHOTO ID, NOT NEED TO SHOW THEIR PASSPORT, BECAUSE
00:06:11IT'S NOT REQUIRED. AND VOTE FOR
00:06:15THE MAYOR OF WASHINGTON, D.C.. THAT'S ABSOLUTELY NUTS. THAT'S
00:06:18WHAT THE DEMOCRATS WANT TO DO NATIONWIDE, BECAUSE YOU CAN SEE
00:06:20WHAT THEY'RE DOING ALREADY IN HARD BLUE CITIES LIKE
00:06:24WASHINGTON, D.C., A PLACE THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE WANT TO MAKE A
00:06:27STATE. TERRIBLE IDEA. THEN. THEN TAKE THAT AND ROLL THAT OUT.
00:06:31THEN YOU HAD THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION OPEN THE
00:06:34FLOODGATES OF THE BORDER, MILLIONS OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS COME INTO THIS COUNTRY, AND THIS
00:06:38IS OUR CHANCE TO SAY, OKAY, AMONGST ALL THE BORDER SECURITY
00:06:41MEASURES THAT WE HAVE, THOSE NEED TO BE IN PLACE. AND PRESIDENT TRUMP'S DONE A GREAT
00:06:45JOB OF THAT. BUT THEN, TWO, YOU GOT TO PUT IN A CHECK THAT WHEN
00:06:48YOU REGISTER TO VOTE, YOU'RE PROVING YOUR CITIZENSHIP. I JUST GOT MARRIED. ANTHONY. ANTHONY, I
00:06:52WERE TALKING ABOUT THIS. MY WIFE IS, UH, HERE IN THE BACK SOMEWHERE. WE JUST GOT MARRIED,
00:06:56UH, LESS THAN FOUR MONTHS AGO.
00:06:59UH, AND I THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
00:07:01UH, AND, UH, MY, MY WIFE CHANGED
00:07:04HER NAME, AND SHE JUST VOTED IN THE WISCONSIN PRIMARY. AND SO
00:07:07ALL OF THIS ARE EASY STEPS. AND
00:07:10THE REASON IT OPENS UP FOR DEMS
00:07:12TO MAKE ARGUMENTS IS EVERY STATE
00:07:15CORRECTLY RUNS THE NAME CHANGE PROCESS EVER SO SLIGHTLY DIFFERENTLY. SO YOU DON'T WANT
00:07:19TO DO IT. YOU DON'T WANT TO HAVE A ONE FEDERAL PRESCRIPTION ON EXACTLY HOW YOU CHANGE YOUR NAME. BECAUSE NEW HAMPSHIRE,
00:07:23WHEN YOU GO AND YOU FILE YOUR NAME CHANGE, YOU GRAB YOUR MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE, YOU GO TO
00:07:27THE SOCIAL SECURITY OFFICE, YOU EFFECTUATE THE NAME CHANGE, AND
00:07:30THEN YOU GO THROUGH THE PROCESS CHANGING YOUR NAME. AND THIS IS,
00:07:32UH, MEN OR WOMEN. BUT, YOU KNOW, WOMEN DO THIS WHEN THEY GET MARRIED, BUT PEOPLE CAN CHANGE
00:07:36THEIR NAME FOR A HOST OF REASONS. UH, GO AND GO THROUGH THIS PROCESS ON A REGULAR BASIS.
00:07:40THE STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE AND MANY OTHER STATES, THE, AT THE VOTING LOCATION, THEY HAVE
00:07:44ACCESS INTO THE DMV OR OTHER
00:07:47CRITICAL RECORDS THAT CAN EASILY CROSS-CHECK THIS. AND SO THE
00:07:51HYPOCRISY IS TRYING TO SCARE
00:07:53PEOPLE INTO NOT IMPLEMENTING COMMON SENSE, VOTER INTEGRITY
00:07:57MEASURES. IF YOU THINK ABOUT, BRIAN, WHY DO YOU THINK THAT
00:07:59THERE IS SO MUCH OF THIS ATTACK ON COMMON SENSE ELECTION
00:08:03INTEGRITY? I ALWAYS TELL PEOPLE TO GO BACK AND, LOOK, WHEN THE
00:08:06REFORMS WERE MADE IN THE STATE OF GEORGIA, IF YOU REMEMBER BACK
00:08:10GOING BACK TO 2021, GEORGIA CAME
00:08:14FORWARD WITH A REAL SUBSTANTIVE ELECTION INTEGRITY PACKAGE AT
00:08:18THE STATE LEVEL, AND THE
00:08:21NATIONAL DEMS JUMPED ON IT
00:08:23BIDEN. YOU REMEMBER HIM CALLING
00:08:25THIS JIM CROW 2.0, AND THEY CONVINCED ALL THESE LARGE
00:08:29CORPORATIONS TO ATTACK THE BILL.
00:08:31MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL, IF YOU REMEMBER, THEY MOVED THE MLB ALL
00:08:35STAR GAME OUT OF ATLANTA. I THINK THEY MOVED IT TO DENVER, IF MY MEMORY SERVES ME
00:08:39CORRECTLY. REMEMBER THIS? YEAH.
00:08:42WELL, THE BILL WAS PASSED, WAS SIGNED INTO LAW, AND THEY'VE HAD TWO MAJOR ELECTIONS IN THE STATE
00:08:45OF GEORGIA SINCE THE 2022 ELECTION AND THE 2024 ELECTION,
00:08:49AS WELL AS SOME SMALLER ELECTIONS AT THE STATE LEVEL.
00:08:52WELL, OF COURSE, YOU WOULD ASK YOURSELF, WELL, WHAT HAPPENED?
00:08:56WHERE WERE THE DEMOCRAT? WAS THE DEMOCRAT FEAR MONGERING REALIZED
00:09:00IN THE STATE OF GEORGIA? RIGHT. I MEAN, THEY CALL THIS JIM CROW 2.0. AND THE LAW WAS
00:09:04IMPLEMENTED. WHAT HAPPENED? WHAT HAPPENED WAS GOOD ELECTION
00:09:07INTEGRITY MEASURES BUILD CONFIDENCE IN OUR ELECTIONS AND REMAINS AND ENCOURAGES PEOPLE TO
00:09:12PARTICIPATE. SO WHEN PEOPLE HAVE CONFIDENCE IN OUR ELECTIONS,
00:09:14THEY'RE ACTUALLY MORE LIKELY TO PARTICIPATE IN THOSE ELECTIONS.
00:09:17AND THAT'S WHAT THE, THE, THE
00:09:20UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA, GEORGIA
00:09:24STATE RAN A MASSIVE SURVEY AFTER THE 22 ELECTION TO SAY WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED, RIGHT? TO SEE
00:09:28IF THEY COULD SHOW WAS THE THE
00:09:31FEAR MONGERING OF THE DEMOCRATS ACTUALLY REALIZED. AND WHAT THEY
00:09:34ACTUALLY SHOWED IS OVERWHELMINGLY, PEOPLE IN THE
00:09:37STATE OF GEORGIA HAD A POSITIVE
00:09:39VOTING EXPERIENCE UNDER THE
00:09:41ELECTION INTEGRITY LAW. AND THAT WAS TRUE ACROSS ALL KEY
00:09:44DEMOGRAPHIC GROUPS, STATISTICALLY, ON THEIR SURVEY,
00:09:480% OF BLACKS HAD A POOR OR NEGATIVE VOTING EXPERIENCE IN THE STATE OF GEORGIA. AND SO WE
00:09:52SHOULD STEP BACK AND RECOGNIZE THAT YOU CAN IMPLEMENT GOOD
00:09:56ELECTION INTEGRITY LAWS AND ACTUALLY GAIN THE CONFIDENCE OF THE VOTERS AND RUN YOUR
00:10:00ELECTIONS WELL, RATHER THAN HAVE THE CHAOS THAT WE SEE IN SOME OF
00:10:03OUR BLUE STATES. AND THAT'S
00:10:05WHERE MY WORK ON THE SAVE ACT IS REALLY IMPORTANT. BUT I THINK
00:10:08THAT'S ONLY TWO OF THE MANY
00:10:12PROVISIONS WE NEED. SO I'LL JUST TAKE A MINUTE AND HIGHLIGHT A COUPLE OTHER PROVISIONS IN THERE IF I CAN. I HAVE A BILL THAT WE
00:10:16CALL THE MEGA ACT MAKE ELECTIONS
00:10:17GREAT AGAIN, AND IT'S ABOUT
00:10:20COMPREHENSIVE ELECTION INTEGRITY REFORM THAT'S NEEDED BEYOND THE
00:10:24TWO REALLY IMPORTANT PROVISIONS IN THE SAFE ACT. SO IF YOU THINK ABOUT ONE CHALLENGE THAT I HAVE
00:10:27IS WHAT WE CALL UNIVERSAL VOTE BY MAIL, AND IN UNIVERSAL VOTE
00:10:31BY MAIL, DIFFERENT THAN ANY VOTE BY MAIL PROCESS, BUT UNIVERSAL
00:10:33VOTE BY MAIL MEANS, IF YOU'RE ON
00:10:38THE VOTER ROLLS, YOU
00:10:41AUTOMATICALLY GET A BALLOT SENT TO YOU. SO YOU'RE ON THE VOTER ROLL. A BALLOT IS AUTOMATICALLY
00:10:45MAILED TO YOU. THE PROBLEM WITH THAT, OF COURSE, IS IF YOU ARE
00:10:48IN A JURISDICTION THAT DOESN'T
00:10:49KEEP YOUR VOTER ROLLS CLEAN OUT,
00:10:52GO BALLOTS. SO GO BACK TO OUR NATION'S CAPITAL, BECAUSE IT'S
00:10:55AN EASY EXAMPLE TO SHOW YOU HOW BROKEN THE SYSTEM IS. IN OUR
00:10:59NATION'S CAPITAL. THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT MOVE IN AND OUT OF APARTMENTS ALL THE TIME.
00:11:02IT'S A VERY TRANSIENT CITY. PEOPLE COME IN, THEY WORK FOR A
00:11:05FEW YEARS, THEY GO OUT. YOU SEE THIS ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES AS
00:11:08WELL. PEOPLE LIVE IN DORM ONE, FRESHMAN YEAR, DORM TWO, THEIR
00:11:11SOPHOMORE YEAR. AND ALONG ALONG THEY GO. IF THOSE VOTER ROLLS
00:11:15AREN'T UPDATED AND SOMEBODY REGISTERS AT A LOCATION, AUTOMATICALLY, THE BALLOT GOES
00:11:19OUT. YOU'LL SEE EVIDENCE OF THIS IN WASHINGTON, D.C., REGULARLY, WHERE SOMEBODY WILL
00:11:23GO AND OPEN UP THE THEIR MAILBOX AT THEIR APARTMENT, AND THEY'LL
00:11:26PULL OUT THREE, FOUR, FIVE BALLOTS THAT WERE MAILED TO
00:11:29PREVIOUS TENANTS. SO THE PRINCIPLE ON ENDING UNIVERSAL
00:11:32VOTE BY MAIL IS THAT AN INDIVIDUAL, AT A BARE MINIMUM,
00:11:35SHOULD HAVE TO REQUEST THAT THAT BALLOT REQUEST, THAT THAT BALLOT
00:11:39IS SENT TO THEM. IT SHOULDN'T JUST BE AUTOMATIC. IF YOU WANT A
00:11:41BALLOT. AND THERE'S REASONS THAT PEOPLE NEED BALLOTS SENT TO
00:11:45THEM, BUT YOU JUST GOTTA REQUEST IT. YOU GOTTA SAY, I WOULD LIKE
00:11:48THE BALLOT AND THE BALLOT SENT. THERE'S A >> BACK INSIDE THAT PROCESS. UH,
00:11:52BALLOT HARVESTING. UH, YOU GUYS HAVE LAWS ON THIS, UH, IN NEW HAMPSHIRE, BUT THIS, THIS IS A
00:11:56NATIONAL CHALLENGE. I THINK YOU NEED TO BAN BALLOT HARVESTING
00:11:59NATIONALLY. WHAT IS BALLOT HARVESTING? I THINK A LOT OF YOU GUYS KNOW BECAUSE YOU'RE
00:12:03NODDING, BUT THAT'S
00:12:06ORGANIZATIONS PAY SOMEONE TO GO OUT THERE AND COLLECT BALLOTS.
00:12:10IT CREATES A WHOLE SYSTEM THAT JUST BEGGING FOR CORRUPTION. AND
00:12:14SO WE HAVE TO HAVE CONTROLS OVER WHO'S OUT THERE PHYSICALLY
00:12:17TAKING BALLOTS FROM PEOPLE THAT ARE MALE. THAT'S WHY VOTING ON
00:12:20ELECTION DAY IS, IS ONE OF THE BEST, UH, ONE OF THE BEST THINGS
00:12:23WE CAN DO. OR VOTING IN PERSON EARLY, WHERE YOU'RE THERE IN PERSON RATHER THAN THE SYSTEM
00:12:27THAT WE HAVE, UM, VOTER LIST MAINTENANCE, WHICH I WAS TALKING
00:12:30ABOUT. WE HAVE, UH, A WEAK
00:12:37FEDERAL LAW IN THIS REGARD ON WHAT THEY REQUIRE TO MAINTAIN THE VOTER ROLLS. THERE'S A LAW IN THE BOOKS THAT SAYS, HEY, YOU GOTTA MAINTAIN YOUR VOTER ROLLS.
00:12:40BUT THE STANDARD THAT YOU HAVE TO MAINTAIN THEM BY IS
00:12:43INCREDIBLY WEAK. AND SO WE NEED
00:12:45TO DRAMATICALLY STRENGTHEN THAT. GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE OF THIS. IF
00:12:49AN INDIVIDUAL FROM THE STATE OF WISCONSIN OR NEW HAMPSHIRE
00:12:52TRAVELS TO FLORIDA IN THE
00:12:53WINTER, UH, BUT THEY REMAIN A RESIDENT OF ONE OF OUR
00:12:57RESPECTIVE STATES UP IN THE NORTH. AND, YOU KNOW,
00:12:59UNFORTUNATELY PASSES AWAY. THE
00:13:02STATE OF FLORIDA DOESN'T HAVE A FEDERAL OBLIGATION TO NOTIFY THE
00:13:06THEIR HOME STATE, NEW HAMPSHIRE, WISCONSIN, THAT A PERSON PASSED.
00:13:08BUT THEY DO HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO INFORM THE SOCIAL SECURITY
00:13:11ADMINISTRATION THAT A PERSON'S PASSED. SO SOCIAL SECURITY
00:13:14ADMINISTRATION KNOWS. AND THEY STOP PAYMENT ON CHECKS. IT'S A
00:13:16REASONABLE PROCESS, BUT WE GOT
00:13:20CONNECT STATES WITH THE SOCIAL SECURITY DATABASE SO THAT PEOPLE
00:13:23ARE IMMEDIATELY REMOVED. I WOULD SAY, WHEN'S A GOOD TIME TO
00:13:26REMOVE SOMEONE FROM THE VOTER ROLLS? WHEN THEY PASS AWAY. AND
00:13:30SO CLEANING UP THE VOTER ROLLS
00:13:31WITH THESE TYPES OF COMMON SENSE
00:13:34REFORMS ARE ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL. ANOTHER REFORM I THINK WE SHOULD MAKE. I THINK
00:13:38ELECTION DAY SHOULD END ON ELECTION DAY. WE HAVE A LOT OF
00:13:40STATES THAT ALLOW BALLOTS TO
00:13:43ARRIVE AFTER ELECTION DAY. SO
00:13:47CALIFORNIA IS ONE OF THE MOST EGREGIOUS IN THIS REGARD. I
00:13:50ACTUALLY WENT, TO CALIFORNIA, WENT TO LA. THERE, CENTRAL
00:13:54COUNT, UH, ON TWO DAYS AFTER THE
00:13:562024 ELECTION. SO THE LOS
00:13:59ANGELES COUNTY, ROUGHLY IS 10 MILLION PEOPLE. AND SO, YOU
00:14:02KNOW, IT'S TWICE THE SIZE OF WISCONSIN. WHAT IS THAT, EIGHT, NINE TIMES THE SIZE OF NEW
00:14:06HAMPSHIRE. AND IT KIND OF IN THAT WAY, IT MAKES A HUGE CENTRAL QOM. THEY COUNT ALL THE
00:14:09BALLOTS AT THAT ONE CENTRALIZED LOCATION. IT ACTUALLY BRINGS
00:14:12SOME OF THEM IN BY HELICOPTER,
00:14:14BECAUSE LA COUNTY IS SO BIG AND THE TRAFFIC IS SO BAD TO GET
00:14:18THEM THERE, IT TAKES THEM DAYS,
00:14:20IF NOT WEEKS, TO COUNT ALL THE BALLOTS. THAT'S ONE CHALLENGE,
00:14:24BUT TWO IS THEY ALLOW THE BALLOT
00:14:26TO ARRIVE BY MAIL AFTER ELECTION DAY. IT'S ONE OF THE REASONS WE
00:14:30DON'T KNOW WHO WON. UH, NOT ONLY THE FEDERAL ELECTIONS, BUT
00:14:34OFTEN IN HOUSE RACES. WE DON'T KNOW WHO WON A HOUSE RACE FOR
00:14:37DAYS AND DAYS AND DAYS AFTER. SO YOU DON'T KNOW WHO CONTROLS THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES? UH, IF
00:14:40WE MAKE CALIFORNIA A LITTLE MORE COMPETITIVE, YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW
00:14:43WHO WON THE PRESIDENCY. UH, OR A
00:14:45SENATE SEAT. THE ANSWER HERE IS
00:14:48THAT YOUR BALLOTS HAVE TO BE IN
00:14:50BY THE TIME THE POLLS ARE
00:14:52CLOSED. THAT'S THE RULE IN MY HOME STATE OF WISCONSIN. IT'S A
00:14:56COMMON SENSE REFORM. BUT IN PLACES LIKE CALIFORNIA, WE I WAS
00:14:58THERE AS TRUCKS ARRIVED, BRINGING IN THOUSANDS OF BALLOTS
00:15:02AFTER THE ELECTION DAY. THE THEORY IS THAT THEY WERE MAILED
00:15:05AND POSTMARKED BEFORE THE POLLS CLOSED. THAT'S THE THEORY. SO
00:15:09IF YOU. BUT IF YOU DIG INTO IT, YOU'D SAY, HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT? AND THEY'D SAY, WELL, BY
00:15:12FIRST YOU'D HAVE TO HAVE A
00:15:15POSTMARK THAT. THE BALLOT WAS MAILED BY ELECTION DAY, BUT THE
00:15:19BALLOT ARRIVES WITHOUT A POSTMARK FOR A FEW DAYS.
00:15:21THERE'S AN ASSUMPTION THAT IT
00:15:24WAS MAILED BEFORE THE DEADLINE.
00:15:26AND SO THIS IS A REAL PROBLEM,
00:15:28AND IT CREATES A LOT OF CONFUSION ACROSS THE COUNTRY. SO THE EASY ANSWER IS JUST, JUST
00:15:32LIKE ANY GOOD SPORTS GAME, JUST TELL ME WHEN THE WHISTLE BLOWS,
00:15:35THAT'S WHEN THE GAME'S OVER. DON'T TELL ME IT'S WHEN THE WHISTLE BLOWS. PLUS A LITTLE BIT
00:15:39MORE TIME, RIGHT? THAT'S WHAT THE LOSING TEAM ALWAYS WANTS, RIGHT? JUST TELL US WHEN THE
00:15:42GAME ENDS. LET US ALL PLAY BY THE SAME SET OF RULES. HAVE ONE
00:15:46SET OF RULES THAT WE ALL ABIDE BY, AND HAVE A GAME END AT A
00:15:50SPECIFIC SET OF TIME. I'LL HIT TWO MORE THINGS, AND WE'LL KIND OF OPEN IT UP A LITTLE BIT MORE
00:15:54HERE. UM, BUT I THINK YOU ALSO NEED TO BAN WHAT WE CALL BIDEN
00:15:57BUCKS. WE HAD THIS PROBLEM, UH, IN MY HOME STATE, BUT WE'VE SEEN
00:16:00IT IN JURISDICTIONS ACROSS THE
00:16:03COUNTRY WHERE, UM NON GOVERNMENT ENTITIES COME IN AND SPEND MONEY
00:16:07IN THE OPERATIONS OF A STATE'S
00:16:10ELECTIONS. AND SO BIDEN BUCKS, OR WHAT? BIDEN BUCKS OR WE CALL
00:16:13THEM ZUCKER BUCKS DEPENDS ON WHO'S WHAT THIS FUNDING
00:16:16STRUCTURE IS. AND SO THERE'S A
00:16:19501 ORGANIZATION IN 2024, UH, IN JURISDICTIONS ACROSS THE COUNTRY
00:16:23THAT CAME IN AND MADE SPECIFIC
00:16:26GRANTS TO SPECIFIC LOCATIONS ACROSS THE COUNTRY AS RELATED TO
00:16:30THE OPERATIONS OF THEIR ELECTIONS. SO IF YOU GUYS ARE WE
00:16:33GOT PATRIOTS FANS, I'M GUESSING HERE AMONGST MOST OF YOU, I'M A
00:16:37PACKERS FAN. SO THE PACKERS ARE
00:16:38PLAYING THE PATRIOTS. AND YOU SAID, WELL, THE REFS WELL, THE
00:16:42REFS ARE PAID BY BY SUPPORTERS
00:16:45OF THE PATRIOTS. NO PACKERS FAN WOULD BE VERY EXCITED. OR IF I
00:16:49TOLD YOU THAT THE REFS AT THE GAME WERE PAID BY A BUNCH OF
00:16:51PEOPLE FROM THE STATE OF WISCONSIN, NONE OF YOU WOULD FEEL VERY GOOD ABOUT THIS. WHAT
00:16:55YOU WANT IS A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR
00:16:58OVERSEEING YOUR ELECTIONS, RIGHT? YOU WANT THE REFS TO NOT
00:17:00BE PAID BY EITHER SIDE. WE
00:17:03DON'T WANT MONEY COMING IN FROM POLITICALLY INFLUENCED
00:17:06OPERATIONS IN THE OPERATIONS
00:17:09PORTION OF THE ELECTIONS. CAMPAIGNS ARE GOING TO BE PARTIZAN. ANTHONY'S GOING TO GO OUT AND MAKE HIS ARGUMENT. HIS
00:17:13OPPONENT WILL MAKE A CRAZY LEFT ARGUMENT. THE VOTERS WILL
00:17:17ULTIMATELY DECIDE, BUT THE PERSON COUNTING THE BALLOTS SHOULDN'T BE A PARTY OF EITHER
00:17:19OF THOSE. THE PERSON COUNTING THE BALLOTS SHOULD BE A
00:17:22GOVERNMENT ENTITY. THAT'S
00:17:24THAT'S BANNING, UH, THAT'S BANNING BIDEN BUCKS. UM, AND SO
00:17:28ALL OF THIS IS NEEDED TO ACTUALLY GIVE INTEGRITY AND
00:17:31STRENGTH TO OUR ELECTIONS. AND IF YOU GIVE ONE FINAL GOING ALL
00:17:34THE WAY BACK AND WE GO BACK TO THE SAVE ACT, AND THEN WE OFFER
00:17:37YOU ANY, ANY COMMENTS YOU WANT, WE CAN OPEN UP SOME QUESTIONS.
00:17:40WE GO BACK TO THE SAVE ACT. ONE OF THE ARGUMENTS IS, YOU KNOW,
00:17:44WHY DO WE NEED THIS? ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENED IN NEW JERSEY RECENTLY. PEOPLE FAMILIAR WITH WHAT
00:17:48HAPPENED IN NEW JERSEY, IN THE NONCITIZENS WHO ARE ON THE VOTER
00:17:51ROLLS. SO I'VE GOT A COUPLE NODS. SO THE STATE OF NEW
00:17:54JERSEY, THEIR NEW GOVERNOR, CAME OUT AND SAID, HEY, BEFORE I WAS
00:17:57GOVERNOR IN 2023, 2024, WE NOW
00:18:03RECOGNIZE THAT 6000 INDIVIDUALS,
00:18:04AT LEAST, WERE NONCITIZENS, WERE
00:18:07ACTUALLY INADVERTENTLY ADDED TO
00:18:10THE VOTER ROLLS. AND OF THAT,
00:18:12THEY KNOW THAT ABOUT OVER 400 OF
00:18:14THEM VOTED IN OUR ELECTIONS. SO THE DEMOCRATS WOULD SAY, OH,
00:18:19THIS NEVER HAPPENS. WELL, YOU GOT PROOF POSITIVE. EXACTLY WHAT
00:18:22HAPPENED IN NEW JERSEY. THE FINGER POINTING HAS BEGUN
00:18:25BETWEEN THE STATE AND GOVERNMENT
00:18:28OFFICIALS, AS WELL AS THE, THE, THE IT VENDOR THAT ALLOWED THIS
00:18:31TO OCCUR. BUT UNDERLYING ALL
00:18:34THAT IS, I THINK, ONE KEY IMPORTANT PRINCIPLE. IF YOU HAD THE SAVE ACT IN PLACE, YOU
00:18:38WOULDN'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM.
00:18:38BUT. TWO, WE ACTUALLY HAVE
00:18:42BROKEN FEDERAL LAWS. SO LONG TIME AGO, NOT THAT LONG AGO,
00:18:45BUT. BUT YEARS AGO, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT MADE A LAW THAT SAID,
00:18:48IF YOU GO AND GET A DRIVER'S LICENSE IN A STATE, SO YOU GO
00:18:52GET YOUR DRIVER'S LICENSE HERE IN THE IN THE STATE OF NEW
00:18:54HAMPSHIRE, AND YOU GO IN, YOU'RE
00:19:01REQUIRED BY FEDERAL LAW TO BE GIVEN VOTER INFORMATION AND TO BE OFFERED TO REGISTER TO VOTE. SOME STATES DO IT ALL. ALL STATES DO IT A LITTLE
00:19:05DIFFERENTLY. BUT ALL OF THEM GIVE YOU THAT VOTER REGISTRATION
00:19:08MATERIAL. WELL, THEN SOME STATES LIKE NEW JERSEY, NEW YORK,
00:19:12ILLINOIS, AND OTHERS, THEY GIVE
00:19:14DRIVER'S LICENSES TO ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. BUT OF COURSE, THE
00:19:18STATE, UNDER BROKEN FEDERAL LAW,
00:19:20IS REQUIRED TO GIVE THE ILLEGAL
00:19:24IMMIGRANT VOTER REGISTRATION MATERIAL. AND SO, IN THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY, IN THIS CASE,
00:19:27THOSE INDIVIDUALS ACTUALLY MARKED, I DON'T WANT TO VOTE.
00:19:31I'M A NON-CITIZEN. AND THEY WERE STILL ADDED. WE'RE TRYING
00:19:34TO FIGURE OUT EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED, BUT THE OBVIOUS ANSWER
00:19:38IS, IF A NON-CITIZEN IS RECEIVING A DRIVER'S LICENSE,
00:19:41HAVE YOUR WHOLE DEBATE ABOUT WHY ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS SHOULDN'T GET DRIVER'S LICENSES. BUT IF
00:19:44YOU'RE EVEN IN A CRAZY STATE,
00:19:47YOU SHOULDN'T GIVE VOTER REGISTRATION MATERIAL TO
00:19:51NON-CITIZENS. SO IT'S MY VIEW THAT CONGRESS BROKE THIS SYSTEM.
00:19:53THIS IS WHY I THINK CONGRESS HAS TO FIX THIS SYSTEM. WELL, I
00:19:57THINK THERE'S A ROLE FOR THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO SORT OF TO
00:19:59SET A FLOOR OF ELECTION INTEGRITY THAT ALL STATES NEED
00:20:03TO FOLLOW. UH, AND SO THOSE ARE SOME OF LIKE THE HIGHLIGHTS OF
00:20:07WHAT I'M WORKING ON IN DC. I CHAIR THE ADMINISTRATION
00:20:11COMMITTEE AND THE ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE. UM, DOES, UH, AND
00:20:14OVERSEES FEDERAL ELECTION LAWS. SO WE'VE BEEN AT THE FOREFRONT
00:20:17OF THIS AND WE NEED MORE STRONG CONSERVATIVES THAT UNDERSTAND
00:20:20THE IMPORTANCE OF COMMON SENSE, ELECTION INTEGRITY REFORM, PHOTO
00:20:23ID, MAKING SURE THAT IT'S ONLY
00:20:24US CITIZENS VOTING IN ELECTIONS.
00:20:30UH, AND AS WE FIGHT.
00:20:40THIS IS OUR CHANCE TO GET A GOOD, SOLID CONSERVATIVE. THAT'S WHY I'M EXCITED TO BE UP
00:20:44HERE WITH ANTHONY. SO PASS IT TO ANTHONY, AND THEN I'M HAPPY TO OPEN IT UP TO ANY
00:20:48OTHER QUESTIONS.
00:20:50REP. DILORENZO: THERE'S A LOT
00:20:54THERE. THE RIGHT TO ELECT YOUR REPRESENTATIVES IS A GREAT
00:20:57PRIVILEGE.
00:21:01IT'S IMPORTANT THAT U.S. CITIZENS IN GRANITE STATERS AS
00:21:05WELL FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH OUR ELECTION PROCESS AND SO THE
00:21:10EXAMPLES THAT YOU GAVE, THEY TAKE AWAY FROM THE
00:21:12CREDIBILITY OF OUR ELECTION PROCESS.
00:21:15IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO GET THESE FIXED.
00:21:17I WOULD ALSO WANT TO POINT OUT
00:21:21THAT IN NEW HAMPSHIRE, GOING
00:21:24BACK TO THE MARRIED WOMAN WITH A NAME CHANGE, IF YOU GO TO THE
00:21:28POLLS THE DAY OF ELECTING AND IF YOU HAVE A NAME CHANGE, IF YOU HAVE THE DOCUMENTS SHOWING YOU
00:21:32HAD A NAME CHANGE, YOU CAN VOTE.
00:21:35IF YOU DON'T HAVE A DOCUMENT,
00:21:38THEY HAVE ACCESS TO THE DMV RECORDS. THEY ALSO HAVE THE ACCESS RIGHT THERE AT THE POLLS, ACCESS TO
00:21:42VITAL RECORDS. SO THIS WHOLE NARRATIVE FROM THE LEFT IS ABSOLUTELY FALSE.
00:21:46THE LAST THING I WANT TO SAY
00:21:50ABOUT THIS IS MY LIKELY OPPONENT
00:21:53, STEPHANIE, IS ENDORSED BY THE
00:21:57GOVERNOR OF CALIFORNIA, GAVIN NEWSOM, AND SHE THINKS THAT'S GOOD.
00:22:01I DON'T CARE WHAT SIDE OF THE AISLE YOU'RE ON, PEOPLE FROM NEW HAMPSHIRE DO NOT WANT TO BE CALIFORNIA AND CERTAINLY DON'T
00:22:05RESPECT GAVIN NEWSOM IN THE WAY HE RUNS HIS STATE.
00:22:09BUT I'D LIKE TO OPEN IT UP TO YOU GUYS AND SEE WHAT'S ON YOUR
00:22:11MIND.
00:22:15REP. STEIL: SO WE'LL START HERE. WE'LL BOUNCE AROUND IF THAT SOUNDS GOOD.
00:22:18REMIND ME YOUR NAME WHEN WE START. >> ROBERT.
00:22:22SO OBVIOUSLY IT'S GOING TO PASS
00:22:26CONGRESS, YOUR COMMON SENSE APPROACH WHICH I LOVE.
00:22:31THE PRESIDENT WILL SIGN IT. WHAT HAPPENS? HOW MANY VOTES DO YOU NEED IN THE SENATE?
00:22:34REP. STEIL: IT'S A GREAT QUESTION. HOW DOES THIS GET STALLED, RIGHT?
00:22:37SO THE SAVE AMERICA ACT AND THE SAVE ACT PASSED THE HOUSE. WE HAVE A NARROW MAJORITY, THREE SEATS. WE MOVED IT THROUGH BECAUSE IT'S
00:22:41COMMON SENSE.
00:22:43DEMOCRATS IN THE UNITED STATES
00:22:46SENATE CONTINUE TO BLOCK IT. THERE'S A FRUSTRATION I HAVE AND
00:22:50SOME OTHERS THAT WE DON'T HAVE MORE CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN SENATORS IN THE SENATE, EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE A MAJORITY.
00:22:54IT'S REQUIRED TO HAVE 60 VOTES. THERE'S TWO PIECES TO THIS.
00:22:58ONE, I THINK WE NEED MORE CONSERVATIVE SENATORS IN THE
00:23:01UNITED STATES SENATE. YOU GUYS GOT A GREAT OPPORTUNITY
00:23:04HERE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE TO HELP US WITH THAT. WE ALSO HAVE SOME NATURAL CHANGES, RIGHT?
00:23:08FOR EXAMPLE, IN KENTUCKY, MY
00:23:10FRIEND ANDY BARR IS GOING TO BE
00:23:15THE NEXT SENATOR IN THE STATE OF KENTUCKY, A GOOD, SOLID REPUBLICAN.
00:23:20THERE'LL BE A SHIFT IN THE STATE OF KENTUCKY. FROM MITCH MCCONNELL AND SO WE'RE GOING TO SEE A NATURAL PROGRESSION, BUT ALSO WE HAVE A
00:23:23BIG OPPORTUNITY TO PICK UP SEATS AROUND THE COUNTRY THIS ELECTION.
00:23:27YOU GUYS ARE GROUND ZERO OF
00:23:31THAT. YOU GUYS ARE OUT THERE IN OUR WORKFORCE. THE SECOND PIECE OF THAT IS, AND
00:23:35THIS IS THE HOUSE SIDE DOESN'T HAVE THE HOUSE, WE OPERATE WITH
00:23:37A 50% MAJORITY, 50% PLUS 1 VOTE.
00:23:40THE BILL PASSES.
00:23:42IN THE SENATE, THERE ARE CERTAIN PROCEDURES WHERE THE SENATE WILL
00:23:46ALLOW THAT RULE, WHICH WE CALL ONE OF THE VEHICLES IS
00:23:49RECONCILIATION.
00:23:52USE A RECONCILIATION VEHICLE.
00:23:54YOU CAN GO OUT AND PASS CERTAIN LEGISLATION WITH ONLY 50 PLUS 1
00:23:57VOTES. AND SO WE'RE LOOKING AND RON
00:24:02JOHNSON, WHO'S MY HOME STATE SENATOR IN WISCONSIN, IS NOW THE
00:24:05CHAIR OF THE BUDGET COMMITTEE IN
00:24:09THE SENATE. I DO THE ELECTION INTEGRITY WORK ON THE HOUSE SIDE, WORKING WITH
00:24:13OUR SENATE COLLEAGUES TO SAY, ARE THERE PROVISIONS THAT WE CAN MOVE ON ELECTION INTEGRITY THROUGH THE RECONCILIATION PROCESS?
00:24:17I THINK THERE ARE. I'VE BEEN HAVING LOTS OF CONVERSATIONS WITH THE WHITE HOUSE AND ADMINISTRATION
00:24:20COLLEAGUES IN THE SENATE.
00:24:23TO LOOK AT HOW WE CAN GET THIS
00:24:26DONE. I'M NOT GOING TO PREVIEW ALL THAT HERE TODAY, BUT OF THE
00:24:30THINGS I JUST DISCUSSED, THAT KIND OF THAT LAUNDRY LIST OF WHAT'S NEEDED IN COMPREHENSIVE ELECTION INTEGRITY REFORM, UNTIL
00:24:33WE GET THE 50 SENATORS IN THE SENATE TO GET THIS DONE, MY HOPE
00:24:36IS THAT WE CAN DO THIS PIECES OF THIS THROUGH RECONCILIATION. MY HOPE IS WE'LL GET SOME OF
00:24:40THAT.
00:24:41I WOULD LIKE TO ADD THOUGH YOU
00:24:46-- REP. DILORENZO: I WOULD LIKE TO
00:24:50ADD THOUGH YOU SAID CONSERVATIVE. THIS IS COMMON SENSE CONSERVATIVE. THE OVERWHELMING AMERICAN PEOPLE
00:24:54SUPPORT VOTER ID, SO I, I
00:24:57STRUGGLE WITH LIKE I DON'T
00:24:59UNDERSTAND WHAT THE HOLDUP IS IN THE SENATE OR WHY THEY DON'T WANT.
00:25:03REP. STEIL: YEAH, IT'S OVERWHELMINGLY POPULAR.
00:25:06I MEAN THESE ARE COMMON SENSE PROVISIONS. WHEN YOU TALK TO SOMEBODY, NOBODY IN THE STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE, YOU GO OUT AND YOU
00:25:10WANT TO BUY A BEER, THEY'RE GOING TO ASK FOR YOUR ID AND NOBODY SCREAMS AND YELLS ABOUT
00:25:13IT.
00:25:20YOU WANT TO BOARD AN AIRPLANE, YOU WANT TO OPEN A BANK ACCOUNT.
00:25:24HECK, YOU WANT TO GO TO A LOT OF DEM EVENTS. SOME, SOMEBODY MENTIONED. SO THESE ARE COMMON SENSE REFORMS, BUT A LOT OF US IN THE
00:25:28HOUSE HAVE A LOT OF FRUSTRATIONS WITH HOW THE SENATE OPERATES. MY HOPE IS THAT THE SENATE GETS
00:25:30A LITTLE MORE COMMON SENSE. YOU GUYS CAN MAKE A BIG HELP IN THAT HERE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE.
00:25:34DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION? >> IS NOT SO MUCH A QUESTION.
00:25:38I SERVED AS THE SUPERVISOR OF
00:25:47OF THE CHECKLIST FROM 1994 TO 2016.
00:25:49FOR THOSE OF AND WE REGISTER ALL VOTERS.
00:25:52EVERY 10 YEARS, WE PURGE THE LIST.
00:25:58ONE OF THE BIGGEST PROBLEMS I
00:25:59HAVE SEEN IS THESE GROUP HOMES,
00:26:05LIKE IN MY HOMETOWN, THEY CAME
00:26:10IN TO ELECTION WITH 20 OF THESE
00:26:13RESIDENTS.
00:26:21MANY ARE RETARDED TO APPOINT THEY CAN'T READ. THEY STARTED TAKING OVER.
00:26:27TAKING OVER HELPING THEM. -- I OBJECTED.
00:26:31I WENT TO THE MODERATOR AND SAID THEY CAN'T HELP. WE'VE APPOINTED TWO PEOPLE WHO
00:26:34CAN HELP A VOTER.
00:26:37WHICH IN NEW HAMPSHIRE, I DON'T
00:26:41THINK MANY PEOPLE REALIZE THERE'S A DEMOCRAT AND A REPUBLICAN IN MY TOWN OF
00:26:44DEERFIELD.
00:26:48THEY CAN HELP A VOTER. NO ONE ELSE IS ALLOWED TO GO IN THAT BOOTH AND HELP SOMEBODY.
00:26:52YOU CAN'T GO IN WITH YOUR SON OR
00:26:53DAUGHTER OR MOTHER OR FATHER.
00:26:56YET MODERATORS ARE LETTING
00:26:58PEOPLE DO THAT.
00:27:02THAT'S A PROBLEM. WE NEED TO EDUCATE OUR
00:27:06MODERATORS TO THE LAW.
00:27:09I OBJECTED.
00:27:12MOST UNPOPULAR PERSON THERE, BUT
00:27:13I OBJECTED.
00:27:17>> THANK YOU.
00:27:19>> THE MODERATOR SAID, WAS THE PROBLEM?
00:27:25WE HAVE TWO PEOPLE APPOINTED, A
00:27:26DEMOCRAT. THEY REPUBLICAN.
00:27:30THE ONLY TWO PEOPLE THAT CAN GO INTO THE BOOTH WITH THEM OR TO
00:27:34HELP THEM BY THOSE TWO PEOPLE. THAT'S A STATE LAW.
00:27:37>> TO HARRIET'S POINT, WHO GETS
00:27:41ON THE VOTER ROLLS IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE THE STATES DO THE
00:27:45ELECTING AND THE RESULTS GET
00:27:46TRANSFERRED NATIONALLY.
00:27:51WE ALLOWED STUDENTS TO VOTE IN
00:27:55NATIONAL AND STATE ELECTIONS, AT LEAST IN THIS STATE. WHAT IS THE DEFINITION OF
00:27:59DOMICILE?
00:28:01REP. DILORENZO: WE DON'T -- OUR
00:28:05ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES SAID -- PASSED LEGISLATION SAYING THEY COULD NOT VOTE WITH STUDENT
00:28:09IDS, AND A JUDGE OVERTURNED THAT DECISION, WHICH IS ABSOLUTELY
00:28:12RIDICULOUS.
00:28:14>> THAT'S RIGHT.
00:28:20SO WE HAVE 18, 19, 20-YEAR-OLDS
00:28:23WHO ARE IN COLLEGE VOTING THE
00:28:25CULTURE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE AND WHAT THEY COME TO THIS STATE
00:28:29WITH WHATEVER THEIR CULTURE IS.
00:28:33THAT IS INFLUENCING OUR ELECTIONS AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE
00:28:37NO LONGER A RED STATE, RIGHT? REP. DILORENZO: BUT ALSO THEY
00:28:40CAN GO HOME AND VOTE TOO, WHICH IS NOT APPROPRIATE.
00:28:43>> WHEN THEY'RE CAUGHT THERE IS NO EXAMPLE MADE.
00:28:47THERE'S NO ACCOUNTABILITY. IT DRIVES ME BATTY. I HEAR ABOUT IT.
00:28:50I HEAR ABOUT ALL THE BAD VOTES AND ALL THE MISSING VOTES AND
00:28:53ALL THE EXTRA VOTES.
00:28:57I WANT TO SEE SOMEBODY PAY FOR THIS.
00:29:00REP. DILORENZO: THE SAVE ACT WOULD FIX THAT, RIGHT?
00:29:03>> YOU'RE TAXING ME TO PAY FOR MY OWN.
00:29:06REP. STEIL: YOU GOT A LOT OF OPTIONS HERE ON WAYS TO IMPROVE
00:29:10ELECTION INTEGRITY. I THINK WHAT YOU SAID IS MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE REALLY GOOD PEOPLE WHO ARE WORKING.
00:29:14>> THAT'S THE BIG POINT.
00:29:16REP. STEIL: THANKS FOR YOUR SERVICE AND STEPPING UP, WORKING ALL THOSE YEARS. I ALWAYS TELL PEOPLE WHO ARE
00:29:20LOOKING TO HELP OUT ON ELECTION INTEGRITY, ONE OF THE BEST THINGS YOU CAN DO IS STEP UP YOURSELF.
00:29:23WE HAVE MORE PEOPLE THAT ARE SOLID WITH HIGH INTEGRITY THAT
00:29:27, GO IN AND DO AND IT'S REALLY HARD WORK. I MEAN THESE MEN AND WOMEN ARE
00:29:30DOING THAT WORK AT THE CLERK'S OFFICE, ETC. THE OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF
00:29:33THEM ARE SPECTACULAR.
00:29:37WE HAVE SOME BAD APPLES, BAD APPLES ANYWHERE WHICH IS WHY
00:29:41, HAVING RULES IN PLACE TO PREVENT BAD APPLES FROM BEING ABLE TO OPERATE IS IMPORTANT. THE OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF
00:29:44THOSE PEOPLE ARE GREAT PEOPLE, AND I LOVE HEARING THAT YOU
00:29:46STEPPED UP TO SERVE IN THAT WAY. BUT FINDING OTHER PEOPLE THAT
00:29:50ARE WILLING TO STEP UP AND WHEN YOU SEE SOMETHING GO WRONG, WHICH IS WHAT YOU'RE TALKING
00:29:53ABOUT, THEN INDIVIDUALS SEE SOMETHING BEING WILLING AND
00:29:57HAVING THE COURAGE TO STAND UP
00:29:58AND RAISE THE FLAG, YOU NEED TO
00:30:03-- RAISE THE FLAG. >> BUT YOU NEED TO EDUCATE EACH
00:30:06OF THE PEOPLE WHO ARE GOING TO
00:30:07BE WORKING THE POLLS TO KNOW THEY SPEAK UP.
00:30:14I MEAN WE HAVE POLL WATCHERS AND CANDIDATES.
00:30:19WE HAVE SUPERVISORS OF THE
00:30:23CHECKLIST. WHERE I'M FROM, THREE
00:30:26SUPERVISORS WHO WATCH THE ELECTIONS.
00:30:30WHEN SOMEBODY WANTS TO VOTE AND THEY DON'T HAVE VOTER ID IN NEW
00:30:35HAMPSHIRE, THE SUPERVISOR OF THE
00:30:38CHECKLIST WILL BRING THEM TO
00:30:40THE SUPERVISOR OF THE ELECTION.
00:30:45WE THEN LOOK FOR THEIR ID.
00:30:49IF WE KNOW THEM WE'LL SAY, OK, , WE'LL VOUCH FOR HIM.
00:30:54THAT'S THE ONLY WAY. OTHERWISE THEIR BALLOTS MARKED AND IT'S NOT COUNTED UNTIL THEY
00:30:58COME BACK WITH AN ID.
00:31:03REP. STEIL: GETTING GOOD PEOPLE
00:31:07TO WORK THE POLLS -- THE WAY THAT I VIEW THE NATIONAL IS THIS
00:31:11IS THE NATIONAL FLOOR THAT NEEDS TO EXIST IN ALL OUR STATES. AND THEN IT'S INCUMBENTS STILL,
00:31:13YOU'VE STILL GOT TO RUN AND OPERATE THE ELECTION.
00:31:17>> BUT YOUR PARTIES AREN'T TEACHING THIS.
00:31:19REP. STEIL: THEY'RE GETTING OUT AND SOME OF THAT THIS CONVERSATION TALKING TO PEOPLE
00:31:22ABOUT WAYS TO RUN GOOD ELECTIONS AND WORKING WITH YOUR LOCAL LEADERS AND THAT IS GOING TO BE
00:31:25REALLY IMPORTANT.
00:31:29DO YOU HAVE A -- >> I ACTUALLY WANT TO EXPAND ON
00:31:32THE LADY'S COMMENTS REGARDING
00:31:40THE TOURIST FACTOR. MAYBE IT'S MY IGNORANCE, BUT EVERY NOW AND THEN WE HEAR ABOUT ELECTION FRAUD HERE AND THERE IN
00:31:43THE UNITED STATES, BUT WE NEVER HEAR ABOUT ANYBODY GOING TO JAIL FOR IT, EITHER THE ACTUAL FRAUD
00:31:46OR THE ATTEMPTED FRAUD.
00:31:50DOES THE SAME ACT CONTAIN ANY PROVISIONS WITH HARD PENALTIES
00:31:54THAT MAY DETER THESE KINDS OF FRAUDS OR ATTEMPTED FRAUD?
00:31:58REP. STEIL: IT'S A GREAT QUESTION. IN MANY WAYS IT SETS THE FLOOR. IT'S GOING TO BE A LOT OF THE
00:32:02STATES TO IMPLEMENT A LOT OF THE
00:32:04ENFORCEMENT OF THIS, BUT THE GOAL HERE IS TO SET RULES OF THE
00:32:08ROAD THAT YOU CAN'T NATURALLY BREAK.
00:32:12AND SO THE GOAL IS TO PUT IN PLACE COMMON SENSE PROVISIONS SO THAT YOU'VE GOT TO USE PHOTO
00:32:16IDENTIFICATION AND THEN ACTUALLY ENFORCE THE LAWS THAT ARE ON THE BOOKS. AND SO I THINK THERE'S A ROLE
00:32:20WHERE PEOPLE IDENTIFY THINGS THAT HAVE GONE WRONG TO HOLD PEOPLE ACCOUNTABLE. THERE'S SOME OF THAT.
00:32:25I DON'T THINK THERE'S ENOUGH OF
00:32:27IT IN MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE EYES AS TO WHAT'S GOING ON.
00:32:30I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT.
00:32:32AND SO I'M WITH YOU.
00:32:36THERE ARE CHALLENGES. FOR EXAMPLE, TAKE TOOK PLACE IN NEW JERSEY. JIM JORDAN CHAIRS THE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE.
00:32:40I CHAIR THE ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE, SO IT'S ELECTION INTEGRITY AND THE POWER OF THE
00:32:42JUDICIARY COMMITTEE. WE'RE DIGGING INTO EXACTLY WHAT
00:32:46HAPPENED WITH THE GOAL OF HOLDING PEOPLE ACCOUNTABLE WHERE
00:32:49ERRORS WERE MADE. AND SO WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF
00:32:51TRYING TO DIG OUT EXACTLY WHAT
00:32:56HAPPENED, WHO'S AT FAULT. THE FINGER POINTING IN NEW JERSEY IS ALREADY OCCURRING. BUT HOLDING PEOPLE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THAT IS IMPORTANT.
00:33:00I'LL GIVE YOU ANOTHER EXAMPLE MAYBE IN THAT REGARD.
00:33:02I ALSO RUN AN INVESTIGATION INTO ACT BLUE.
00:33:07THAT'S AN ONLINE DEMOCRATIC FUNDRAISING PLATFORM.
00:33:11YOU GOT SOME NODS. AND SO I STARTED THIS
00:33:15INVESTIGATION NOW ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO. SO I SERVE ON THE ADMINISTRATION
00:33:19COMMITTEE, BUT ALSO SERVE ON THE FINANCIAL SERVICES COMMITTEE. DUG IN TO TRY TO PREVENT HOW DO WE BLOCK PEOPLE FROM LAUNDERING
00:33:23MONEY AND DOING OTHER THINGS, OFTEN IN THE REALM OF TERRORISM,
00:33:26RIGHT? HOW IS IRAN FUNDING MONEY IN THEIR TERRORIST PROXIES?
00:33:30BUT THEN I STARTED LOOKING AT THE MONEY BECAUSE I ALSO CHAIR
00:33:33THE ADMINISTRATION STARTED
00:33:36LOOKING -- HOW IS HOW IS MONEY GETTING INTO U.S. ELECTIONS AND IN PARTICULAR IS SHOULD WE BE
00:33:40CONCERNED ABOUT FOREIGN MONEY COMING INTO OUR ELECTIONS?
00:33:44WHEN I LOOKED AT ACT BLUE, ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS I SAW WAS THAT AN INDIVIDUAL WANTS TO GO
00:33:47MAKE A DONATION TO A DEMOCRAT
00:33:51CANDIDATE OR DEMOCRATIC CAUSE, THREE YEARS AGO THEY WERE NOT
00:33:55REQUIRING WHAT THEY CALL A CVV NUMBER, THAT'S THAT NUMBER ON THE BACK OF YOUR CREDIT CARD,
00:33:59THAT THROUGH DEATH OR FOUR DIGIT CODE THAT YOU HAVE TO TYPE IN ALL THE TIME. THAT SHOWS POSSESSION OF THE CARDS.
00:34:03KIND OF A CORE BASIC CONCEPT OF ANTI-THEFT REALLY ON THE RETAIL
00:34:07SIDE. THEY WEREN'T ACQUIRING IT, SO I
00:34:09STARTED ASKING MORE QUESTIONS . AMONGST THAT, AMONGST MY
00:34:13LEGISLATION TO FIX THE PROBLEMS THAT WE'VE SEEN AT ACT BLUE AND ONLINE FUNDRAISING PLATFORMS
00:34:17THAT ARE SIMILARLY SITUATED, FOR EXAMPLE, TODAY IF AN INDIVIDUAL
00:34:21WANTS TO MAKE A DONATION, THE NAME ON THE CREDIT CARD DOES NOT
00:34:25NEED TO MATCH THE NAME OF THE DONOR.
00:34:27THAT'S PRETTY WILD. AND SO IF AN INDIVIDUAL WANTED
00:34:31TO ENGAGE IN ILLEGAL BEHAVIOR, NOBODY AT THIS TABLE WOULD, BUT IF AN INDIVIDUAL WANTED TO
00:34:35ENGAGE IN ILLEGAL BEHAVIOR AND DO IDENTITY THEFT AND MONEY
00:34:38LAUNDERING, OF COURSE THEY'D GO ON TO AN ONLINE FUNDRAISING
00:34:42PLATFORM LIKE ACT BLUE, TYPE IN THE NAME AND ADDRESS OF SOMEBODY ELSE, USE THEIR OWN CREDIT CARD
00:34:47TO MAKE THE DONATION, AND THE DONATION WOULD BE REGISTERED UNDER SOMEBODY ELSE'S NAME.
00:34:51THAT'S CRAZY.
00:34:54AND SO IF YOU WERE A FOREIGN ACTOR OR YOU WERE OUTSIDE OF THE
00:34:56UNITED STATES, YOU COULD PRETTY
00:35:00EASILY USE A VPN, VPN INTO THE UNITED STATES, GO AROUND SOME OF THE BLOCKS, DONATE IN SOMEBODY ELSE'S NAME, AND ACTUALLY PAY
00:35:04THE MONEY ON ANOTHER CREDIT CARD. NOBODY WOULD BE ANY THE WISER
00:35:07UNLESS YOU WENT TO THE FEC. SEARCHED YOUR OWN NAME AND
00:35:10ADDRESS TO SEE DID ANYBODY USE MY NAME AND ADDRESS ONLINE.
00:35:13OF COURSE THAT'D BE ILLEGAL, BUT IF YOU'RE OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES, IT'D BE REALLY HARD TO
00:35:16EVER GO CAPTURE THAT SOMEBODY'S SITTING IN A BASEMENT IN TEHRAN
00:35:20OR MOSCOW OR BEIJING. IT'D BE PRETTY HARD TO EVER GO
00:35:23AND ACTUALLY ADDRESS THAT.
00:35:25AND SO WE'VE ASKED QUESTIONS
00:35:28OF ACT BLUE. WE HAD A NUMBER OF PEOPLE COME
00:35:31IN, INCLUDING THE CEO.
00:35:33YOU SAW THIS HEARING AT ALL.
00:35:39THE CEO OF ACT BLUE CAME IN AND WE ASKED HER A SERIES OF QUESTIONS, AND SHE PLED THE FIFTH ON EVERY SINGLE QUESTION.
00:35:42SHE WAS ACTUALLY ASKED WHAT IS THE PROPER PRONUNCIATION OF HER
00:35:46LAST NAME, AND SHE PLED THE
00:35:49FIFTH, THE SAME AS FAUCI.
00:35:52AND SO THIS IS WHERE WE'RE AT IN
00:35:55LOOKING -- THE CONGRESS IS NOT
00:35:59THE INVESTIGATIVE BODY. YOU DON'T WANT YOUR LEGISLATIVE BODIES TO BE THE ENFORCE THE
00:36:02EXECUTIVE. BUT WE PROVIDE A LOT OF INFORMATION AND ASKED THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH OF THE
00:36:05DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE TO LOOK INTO A LOT OF WHAT WE'VE DISCOVERED AS IT RELATES TO BLUE
00:36:08AND OTHERS.
00:36:11REP. DILORENZO: ON THAT SUBJECT,
00:36:17HAVE YOU FOUND ANY EVIDENCE TYING THE CURRENT FINANCIAL SITUATION OF THE DEMOCRATIC
00:36:21PARTY NATIONALLY WHERE THEY HAVE
00:36:24CONSIDERABLY LESS MONEY THAN THEY NORMALLY DO TO THE CLOSING
00:36:27OF USAID?
00:36:29REP. STEIL: THERE'S A LOT
00:36:31THERE'S A STRONG CORRELATION
00:36:33BETWEEN THOSE TWO, AND THIS GETS
00:36:36TO THE BOTTOM OF WHERE ARE THE FUNDS COMING INTO A LOT OF THESE
00:36:40ORGANIZATIONS. I'LL GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE ON THIS. ONE IS WHAT WE CALL THE HARD
00:36:42DOLLARS THAT GO DIRECTLY TO KANSAS. THAT'S MY LAST EXAMPLE ABOUT HOW
00:36:45MONEY COULD GET INTO A DEMOCRAT CAMPAIGN.
00:36:48THE OTHER IS THESE HUGE LARGE OUTSIDE MONEY ORGANIZATIONS, AND THIS IS SOMETHING I'VE BEEN VERY
00:36:52CONCERNED ABOUT. WE'VE ACTUALLY SHOWN AND
00:36:56DOCUMENTED HOW THIS OCCURS AND SO IT IS ILLEGAL TODAY FOR A
00:37:00FOREIGN NATIONAL TO DONATE TO A CANDIDATE'S FEDERAL CAMPAIGN.
00:37:04THAT'S CORRECT.
00:37:05WE'RE TRYING TO PREVENT NOW
00:37:12SOMEBODY FROM ABUSING THAT LAW. SEPARATELY THOUGH, A FOREIGN
00:37:14NATIONAL MAY DONATE LEGALLY
00:37:17UNDER U.S. LAW TO DATE INTO A WE
00:37:20CALL A 501(C) ORGANIZATION, A TAX-EXEMPT ORGANIZATION, A NON-CANDIDATE CAMPAIGN.
00:37:24THAT'S LEGAL. THAT ORGANIZATION THEN CAN
00:37:26TRANSFER PORTIONS OF THOSE FUNDS TO OTHER POLITICALLY ALIGNED
00:37:29ORGANIZATIONS, AND WE'VE SEEN
00:37:32THIS WHERE A VERY LIBERAL EUROPEAN BILLIONAIRE TRANSFERRED
00:37:36MILLIONS OF DOLLARS THAT WAS ULTIMATELY GOING IN AND
00:37:40IMPACTING U.S. ELECTIONS. I HAVE LEGISLATION TO CLOSE THAT LOOPHOLE.
00:37:44WE'RE TRYING TO GAIN THE SUPPORT TO DO IT BECAUSE AGAIN IT GOES
00:37:46BACK TO THE COMMON SENSE
00:37:49PRINCIPLE THAT U.S. ELECTIONS SHOULD BE FOR U.S. CITIZENS ONLY. THAT INCLUDES OBVIOUSLY VOTING,
00:37:53BUT IT ALSO INCLUDES THE FUNDING THAT GOES INTO THIS, AND WE'VE
00:37:57PASSED LEGISLATION IN THE HOUSE
00:38:01RECENTLY AS IT RELATES TO BALLOT INITIATIVES.
00:38:05WHERE FOREIGN MONEY COULD COME INTO BALLOT INITIATIVES BECAUSE IT WASN'T A CANDIDATE OR CANDIDATE'S CAUSE, SO WE'RE
00:38:08TRYING TO BLOCK ALL THIS OUT, ENFORCE THE LAW, BUT REAL AND
00:38:12SUBSTANTIVE REFORMS ARE NEEDED. AT THE END OF THIS, THESE ARE
00:38:15COMMON SENSE REFORMS, BUT WE GET
00:38:17PUSHBACK FROM RADICAL DEMOCRATS
00:38:20THAT DON'T WANT TO SEE THIS IMPLEMENTED.
00:38:24THEY'RE FIGHTING BACK AGAINST THE COMMON SENSE REFORMS THAT WE
00:38:26KNOW WE NEED IN ALL 50 STATES.
00:38:30REP. DILORENZO: YOU HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION.
00:38:33>> AS A FORMER SUPERVISOR OF THE
00:38:40CHECKLIST, ONE THING I SEE IS
00:38:41THAT IF A NATIONAL LAW WAS
00:38:46PASSED TO SAY PEOPLE INTO
00:38:48REGISTER FOR ANY ELECTIONS, IN
00:38:53NEW HAMPSHIRE, THEY WOULD BE
00:38:59REGISTERED FOR FEDERAL AND
00:39:01AUTOMATICALLY THE STATE. IF THAT HAPPENED IN EVERY STATE,
00:39:05EVERY STATE WOULD BE REGISTERING FOR THEIR STATE ALSO.
00:39:10THEN YOU HAVE A LAW THAT SAYS
00:39:15THEY HAVE TO BE REGISTERED FOR
00:39:19ELECTION WHICH CAN THEN BE TRANSFERRED TO STATE ELECTIONS.
00:39:27TO ME THAT SEEMS VERY SIMPLE. BECAUSE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE YOU
00:39:30HAVE YOUR LOCAL SUPERVISORS OF
00:39:35THE CHECKLIST.
00:39:37SINCE WE ARE ONLY 15 CITIES, YOU
00:39:41CAN PRETTY MUCH KNOW THEY'RE
00:39:46GOING TO BE REGISTERED TO VOTE
00:39:48IN THE TOWNS THEY'RE GOING TO BE
00:39:52REGISTERED TO VOTE IN ALL THE ELECTIONS. REP. STEIL: YOU BRING UP A GREAT
00:39:57YOU KNOW WE HAVE 50 STATES THAT POINT OPERATE THEIR ELECTIONS DIFFERENTLY.
00:40:00D.C. OPERATES IT EVEN WILDER.
00:40:04YES, GREAT, GREAT COMMENT. SO SOME STATES, BECAUSE OF HOW THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT GOOFED
00:40:10GOOFED -- GOOFED UP FEDERAL
00:40:14ELECTION LAW, STATES ARE RUNNING A SEPARATE SYSTEM BECAUSE THEY'RE BLOCKED BY THE COURTS FROM MAKING COMMON SENSE REFORMS AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL.
00:40:18SO FOR EXAMPLE, PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP. ARIZONA TRIED TO IMPLEMENT THAT
00:40:21AND THEY WERE NOT BLOCKED BY THE COURTS BECAUSE THE COURT SAID
00:40:24FEDERAL LAW SETS A STANDARD AND DOESN'T ALLOW FOR THAT TO HAPPEN.
00:40:28SO ARIZONA SAID, ALL RIGHT, WE'RE GOING TO RUN OUR STATE ELECTIONS DIFFERENTLY THAN OUR FEDERAL ELECTIONS, WHICH CREATES
00:40:32A LOT OF CONFUSION. THIS IDEA OF HAVING A NATIONAL
00:40:37FLOOR THE STATES THAT HAVE TRIED , TO IMPLEMENT ELECTION INTEGRITY AT THE STATE LEVEL BUT
00:40:40CAN'T DO IT AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL, IT ALLOWS THEM TO COME
00:40:43BACK INTO ONE SYSTEM, WHICH IS A LOT, LOT EASIER.
00:40:47IT'S THE SAME CONCERNS WE HAVE, FOR EXAMPLE, WITH WASHINGTON, D.C. ALLOWING LEGALLY ALLOWING
00:40:51NON-CITIZENS TO VOTE IN MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS. ONE OF THE CONCERNS WE HAVE IS
00:40:54HOW DO YOU RUN THESE TWO SYSTEMS
00:40:56SO THAT SOMEBODY DOESN'T VOTE IN A FEDERAL ELECTION BUT MAY VOTE
00:41:00IN A MUNICIPAL?
00:41:02LET'S JUST SET THE BAR THAT YOU NEED TO BE A U.S. CITIZEN TO
00:41:06VOTE IN THE ELECTIONS AND NOT RUN THESE DUAL SYSTEMS, AND SETTING THAT STANDARD, THAT
00:41:10BASELINE FOR ALL OF OUR FEDERAL ELECTIONS, I THINK ACTUALLY SIMPLIFIES IT.
00:41:14AND AGAIN IT'S ALL ABOUT BUILDING CONFIDENCE IN OUR
00:41:16ELECTIONS AND AS THE STATE OF GEORGIA SHOWED US, IF YOU ACTUALLY IMPLEMENT THESE COMMON
00:41:20SENSE ELECTION INTEGRITY REFORMS, PEOPLE WILL HAVE A
00:41:22HIGHER LEVEL OF CONFIDENCE AND PEOPLE ARE MORE LIKELY TO
00:41:26PARTICIPATE, WHICH IS WHY WE SEE VERY HIGH VOTER PARTICIPATION IN ELECTIONS IN GEORGIA.
00:41:29AND I THINK PEOPLE PARTICIPATING
00:41:31IN OUR ELECTIONS WHO ARE LEGAL
00:41:34U.S. CITIZENS, THAT'S A GREAT THING. WE SHOULD ENCOURAGE IT. I ACTUALLY ENCOURAGE IT BY PUTTING IN PLACE ELECTION
00:41:38INTEGRITY.
00:41:39>> I THINK NEW HAMPSHIRE
00:41:45HAS THE HIGHEST VOTER TURNOUT.
00:41:47REP. STEIL: YOU ARE RIGHT THERE AT THE TOP, WHICH IS GREAT.
00:41:52>> TO ME, IF WE'RE TURNING OUT
00:42:00THAT WELL, WOULDN'T THAT BE SOMETHING YOU SHOULD BE LOOKING
00:42:04TO COPY? REP. STEIL: IT'S A GREAT POINT. IT'S A GREAT POINT. THERE'S A WOMAN IN THE BACK, AND
00:42:08WE'LL COME TO THE GENTLEMAN HERE.
00:42:09>> I HAVE TWO QUESTIONS THAT ARE UNRELATED.
00:42:13[INDISCERNIBLE]
00:42:23AT POINTS WE WERE WORRIED ABOUT THE VOTING MACHINES THEMSELVES. THE FRAUD [INDISCERNIBLE]
00:42:31SECONDLY, WHAT IS THE LATEST ON REDISTRICTING [INDISCERNIBLE]
00:42:37WITHIN THE STATE AND COUNTIES [INDISCERNIBLE]
00:42:43REP. STEIL: GREAT QUESTION.
00:42:46I'LL TELL YOU AND I'LL PASS
00:42:50IT IF HE WANTS TO ADD ANYTHING TO IT. MOST OF THE REDISTRICTING IS NOW DONE ACROSS THE COUNTRY, SO WE
00:42:53SAW THIS HAPPEN IN BLUE STATES.
00:42:55WE SAW RED STATES RESPOND. THE REDISTRICTING PIECE IS KIND
00:42:59OF DONE NATIONALLY NOW INTO THE ELECTION, AND SO THAT, THAT
00:43:02PIECE IS PRETTY MUCH SET.
00:43:06YOUR FIRST QUESTION WAS THE VOTING MACHINES.
00:43:10THAT'S WHERE MAKING SURE THAT THERE'S PAPER BALLOTS, I THINK IS REALLY IMPORTANT.
00:43:14BECAUSE PAPER BALLOTS ALLOW YOU TO GO BACK AND AUDIT ANY PROCESS, AND A POST-ELECTION
00:43:18AUDIT ACTUALLY JUST ENHANCES PEOPLE'S CONFIDENCE IN THE
00:43:21ELECTIONS. AND SO A MACHINE MAY COUNT THE
00:43:25NUMBER OF BALLOTS, BUT YOU CAN GO BACK, LOOK AT THE BALLOTS, YOU CAN HAND COUNT, YOU CAN
00:43:29CONFIRM AGAINST THE MACHINE, YUP, THAT MACHINE IS COUNTING CORRECTLY AND YOU CAN DO THAT THROUGH YOUR SYSTEM.
00:43:33ONE OF THE PIECES OF MY LEGISLATION TAKES WHAT WE CALL
00:43:37EAC GRANTS. IT'S FEDERAL MONEY THAT'S GIVEN.
00:43:41TO STATES IN THE OPERATION OF THEIR ELECTIONS.
00:43:44IT SAYS THAT MONEY THAT'S ALREADY GOING OUT CAN BE USED FOR AFTER ELECTION AUDITS, WHICH
00:43:48AGAIN JUST GO THROUGH AND SAY YOU HAVE A PAPER BALLOT, YOU HAVE A MACHINE THAT COUNTS THE
00:43:52BALLOTS. YOU JUST GO BACK AND YOU TRUE UP
00:43:55A CERTAIN NUMBER TO MAKE SURE THESE MACHINES ARE ALL OPERATING
00:43:58WITH 100% ACCURACY.
00:44:01WE HAD SOME STATES THAT WEREN'T USING PAPER BALLOTS.
00:44:03THE WHOLE SYSTEM WAS ELECTRONIC.
00:44:07THAT MAY WORK IN THEORY. BUT I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT PEOPLE HAVE CONFIDENCE IN THEIR SYSTEM.
00:44:11IF YOU HAVE A PAPER BALLOT TRAIL, YOU CAN THEN DO A
00:44:14POST-ELECTION AUDIT AGAINST ANY GIVEN MACHINE.
00:44:17AND SO IF YOU THINK ABOUT KIND
00:44:21-- I DID ACCOUNTING WAY BACK, THAT WASN'T WHAT I DID WITH MY CAREER, BUT I TOOK A BUNCH OF THE CLASSES AND THOUGHT I WOULD
00:44:25HEAD IN THAT DIRECTION. THE NUMBER ONE THING THEY TELL
00:44:28YOU IS MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A PAPER TRAIL THAT YOU CAN GO BACK
00:44:30AND AUDIT AND CONFIRM.
00:44:33AND SO MAKING SURE THAT THERE'S
00:44:35PAPER BALLOTS REMOVES THE FEAR
00:44:39OF A PURE ELECTION -- A PURE ELECTRONIC SYSTEM, BECAUSE YOU CAN'T AUDIT THE ELECTRONIC SYSTEM EASILY.
00:44:43THERE'S WAYS TO MAYBE DO IT, BUT IT'S NOT EASY.
00:44:46THE PAPER BALLOTS ARE GREAT
00:44:51BECAUSE THEN ANYBODY CAN GO IN WITHOUT ANY SPECIAL EXPERTISE OF
00:44:54AN IT EXPERT, GO IN AND COUNT
00:44:59THE BALLOTS, UP AGAINST THE MACHINE THAT MAY HAVE COUNTED THOSE BALLOTS, AND SO
00:45:02MAINTAINING PAPER BALLOTS AS A
00:45:07RESULT IS A REALLY, I THINK, A REALLY IMPORTANT CONCEPT IN
00:45:11ELECTION INTEGRITY. THAT'S RIGHT.
00:45:15ANYBODY CAN COUNT A PAPER BALLOT AND CONFIRM IT AGAINST THE TOTAL. YOU DON'T NEED ANY EXPERTISE OR
00:45:18SPECIAL EDUCATION TO DO IT
00:45:20INSIDE A MACHINE THAT'S YOU NEED AN IT BACKGROUND.
00:45:24YOU NEED AN EXPERT. THAT'S WHY YOU HAVE A PAPER BALLOT IN THE BACK END BECAUSE
00:45:27AT SOME LEVEL IT'S OPEN TO RISK.
00:45:30LET'S JUST REMOVE THAT PERIOD
00:45:34, FULL STOP, BY REQUIRING PAPER BALLOTS. IT DOESN'T MEAN YOU COULDN'T USE A MACHINE TO COUNT THOSE PAPER
00:45:37BALLOTS, BUT THEN YOU CAN GO BACK AND IN YOUR POST-ELECTION AUDIT YOU JUST GRAB THE STACK.
00:45:41THIS MACHINE SAID OUT OF 100 VOTES IT WAS 75 FOR PERSON A AND
00:45:4325 FOR PERSON B. RUN A HAND COUNT, CONFIRM, YEP,
00:45:48THE COUNT IS TRUE AGAINST THE MACHINE. CLOSE.
00:45:51YOU CAN MOVE ON. IN MY LEGISLATION YOU CAN HAVE
00:45:55THE FEDERAL MONEY THAT'S ALREADY
00:46:00BEING SPENT THAT'S GOING OUT, STATES CAN USE THAT FOR POST-ELECTION AUDITS AGAIN TO BUILD THE CONFIDENCE OF PEOPLE
00:46:03IN OUR ELECTIONS. AND AS PEOPLE'S CONFIDENCE GOES UP, PEOPLE ARE MORE LIKELY TO
00:46:07PARTICIPATE IN STATES LIKE THIS WITH HIGH VOTER PARTICIPATION OR IN MY OWN STATE WITH HIGH VOTER
00:46:11PARTICIPATION, THAT'S A GOOD THING WE SHOULD LOOK TO EMULATE
00:46:13THAT ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
00:46:17YOU WANT TO DO ONE MORE QUESTION. DO YOU HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION?
00:46:21IS THERE ONE MORE?
00:46:23>> I WAS JUST GOING TO COMMENT
00:46:27THAT WE ON BALLOTS THAT ARE MAIL-IN BALLOTS, THEY HAVE TO BE AT THE CLERK'S OFFICE BY 5:00 ON
00:46:31THE DAY OF THE COUNTING. SO IT'S IF IT'S NOT THERE, IT
00:46:35DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. YEAH, IT'S COMMON SENSE, IF YOU
00:46:39KNOW THAT THAT'S THE DEADLINE AND YOU KNOW IT'S GOING TO TAKE
00:46:42YOU A WEEK TO GET YOUR ENVELOPE
00:46:44FROM EUROPE OR WHEREVER YOU ARE
00:46:49IN THE WORLD TO BACK TO -- AND YOU KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO KNOW AHEAD OF TIME WHO YOU'RE GOING TO VOTE FOR PRETTY MUCH.
00:46:53A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY
00:46:56IN THE BACK TALK TO ANTHONY. HE KNOWS WHERE THEY KNOW WHERE
00:46:59THEY'RE GOING TO VOTE. YOU CAN PRETTY MUCH DO YOUR BALLOT A MONTH AHEAD EVEN IF YOU
00:47:02WANTED TO, BUT IT'S VERY RARE THAT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A LOT
00:47:06OF DECISIONS THAT ARE GOING TO BE MADE BEFORE ELECTION DAY, SO
00:47:10HAVING THAT ONE DAY AS BEING THE DAY WE COUNT OR WE ACCEPT ALL
00:47:13THE BALLOTS WE'RE COUNTING MAKES
00:47:15MORE SENSE THAN ANYTHING ELSE. REP. STEIL: I THINK IT'S COMMON
00:47:19SENSE TO SAY THAT ELECTION DAY SHOULD END ON ELECTION DAY. YOU GUYS DO IT RIGHT.
00:47:23WISCONSIN DOES IT RIGHT, BUT JURISDICTIONS LIKE CALIFORNIA, CALIFORNIA RUNS A SYSTEM WHERE
00:47:27BALLOTS CAN ARRIVE DAYS AND DAYS AFTER THE ELECTION.
00:47:31YOU DON'T WANT -- I DON'T THINK ANYBODY SHOULD BE SUFFERING
00:47:35UNDER CALIFORNIA, WHICH IS WHY I THINK YOU NEED AN ELECTION INTEGRITY STANDARD ACROSS THE
00:47:39BOARD, BECAUSE WE DON'T BUILD CONFIDENCE WHEN PEOPLE ARE
00:47:41WATCHING THESE NUMBERS MOVE AFTER THE FACT, EVEN IF IT'S
00:47:45DONE CORRECTLY, EVEN IF YOU SAID
00:47:46IT GAVE THE FULL BENEFIT OF THE
00:47:50DOUBT TO HOW IT'S OPERATING, NOBODY VIEWS THAT WITH CONFIDENCE. WHAT YOU WANT IS THE GAME TO END
00:47:54WHEN THE WHISTLE BLOWS AND THE WHISTLE BLOWS WHEN THE POLLS ARE
00:47:58CLOSED IN YOUR HOME STATE. THEN YOU CAN GET THE RESULTS
00:48:01QUICKLY.
00:48:03WE LOOK AT THE STATE OF FLORIDA, A VERY LARGE STATE, CAN COUNT
00:48:06THEIR BALLOTS, AND YOU KNOW WHO WON THE STATE OF FLORIDA WITHIN HOURS.
00:48:09WELL-RUN STATES CAN PRODUCE THE RESULTS QUICKLY, AND THAT GIVES
00:48:13PEOPLE CONFIDENCE IN OUR SYSTEM. AND SO THE VALUES OF CALIFORNIA
00:48:16AND OTHER STATES THAT POORLY RUN THEIR ELECTIONS ARE NOT THE
00:48:20VALUES WE WANT ACROSS THE COUNTRY. I THINK THAT'S A REALLY
00:48:24IMPORTANT PIECE. LET ME, LET ME MAYBE WRAP UP AND I'LL PASS IT TO ANTHONY TO CLOSE THIS OUT.
00:48:28FIRST, THANKS FOR BEING HERE.
00:48:29WE HAD A GREAT CONVERSATION ABOUT WHAT WE NEED TO DO TO
00:48:33STRENGTHEN ELECTION INTEGRITY ACROSS OUR COUNTRY, THE REFORMS
00:48:37THAT ARE NEEDED, THAT WE HAVE TO
00:48:39PUT IN PLACE, WHY WE NEED A FLOOR OF COMMON SENSE ELECTION
00:48:44INTEGRITY, BUT ALSO AT THE
00:48:48FEDERAL LEVEL WHY WE NEED COMMON SENSE PEOPLE LIKE ANTHONY IN
00:48:49CONGRESS.
00:48:53WE'VE GOT A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT DEFEND AGAINST COMMON SENSE. WE SEE THEM IN THE HOUSE EVERY
00:48:57DAY. PEOPLE THAT DON'T THINK YOU SHOULD HAVE PHOTO ID, THAT THINK NONCITIZENS SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO VOTE.
00:49:00WE WANT PEOPLE LIKE ANTHONY WITH COMMON SENSE THAT KNOW YOU NEED
00:49:04CORE CONCEPTS OF ELECTION
00:49:05INTEGRITY TO BE IN PLACE.
00:49:10SO I APPRECIATE YOU GUYS COMING OUT. IT WAS A GREAT CONVERSATION. THANKS FOR HOSTING ME. I'M HEADING BACK TO MY HOME
00:49:14STATE OF WISCONSIN TONIGHT, BUT THANKS FOR HOSTING ME HERE IN
00:49:17NEW HAMPSHIRE'S FIRST DISTRICT. THANKS FOR YOU GUYS' SUPPORT OF
00:49:20ANTHONY.
00:49:25WE NEED TO GET THIS MAN ACROSS THE LINE INTO WASHINGTON, D.C. SO WE GET A LITTLE MORE COMMON
00:49:28SENSE IN WASHINGTON AND A LITTLE
00:49:31LESS CRAZY THAT WE GET FROM SOME OF THE FOLKS THAT ARE SENT
00:49:35THERE. APPRECIATE YOU HAVING US OUT. REP. DILORENZO: THANK YOU.
00:49:39I APPRECIATE YOU COMING OUT.
00:49:40IT WAS GREAT AND I APPRECIATE
00:49:45EVERYBODY ELSE GETTING INVOLVED. [APPLAUSE]
00:49:48>> I THINK IT WAS JUST YESTERDAY
00:49:51WE WERE TALKING ABOUT TRYING TO
00:49:52GET THE SENATORS ALL BACK TO TRY
00:49:56TO VOTE ON THIS. I THINK IT WAS LIKE THIS COMING WEEK.
00:50:01THEY WERE GOING TO TRY TO FOR
00:50:02SOME OF THE SENATORS THAT ARE --
00:50:07TO PUT THEM ON DISPLAY TO SAY, WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?
00:50:11REP. STEIL: I DON'T SERVE IN THE SENATE. I SERVE IN THE HOUSE, SO WE HAVE
00:50:15A LOT OF FRUSTRATIONS WITH HOW THE SENATE RUNS. THE SENATE WILL MAKE THEIR
00:50:17DECISION ON THEIR TIMELINE. THE BIGGEST ISSUE IS WE DON'T
00:50:21HAVE ENOUGH COMMON SENSE SENATORS IN THE UNITED STATES
00:50:24SENATE RIGHT NOW. WE SIT AROUND THIS ROOM AND EVERYBODY KNOWS IT'S COMMON
00:50:27SENSE.
00:50:32YOU NEED PHOTO ID, THAT ONLY U.S. CITIZENS SHOULD BE VOTING. WE JUST NEED MORE COMMON SENSE BEING SENT TO WASHINGTON AND YOU
00:50:35GUYS IN THIS STATE AND MY OWN
00:50:36STATE, WE DON'T HAVE A SENATE
00:50:40COLLECTION BUT WE HAVE , OPPORTUNITIES TO SEND FAR MORE COMMON SENSE PEOPLE TO WASHINGTON.
00:50:44THAT IS A HUGE STEP. AT THE HOUSE SIDE, WE NEED
00:50:47REINFORCEMENTS WITH ANTHONY. SO THE SENATE IS GOING TO PLAY THIS OUT, BUT THE BIG ANSWER IS
00:50:51WE JUST NEED MORE PEOPLE WITH COMMON SENSE IN WASHINGTON, AND
00:50:54THAT'S WHERE I THINK ANTHONY IS
00:51:00SUCH A HUGE OPPORTUNITY FOR US.
00:51:02>> JUST THREE SENATORS.
00:51:05REP. STEIL: THERE'S NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE WITH COMMON SENSE.
00:51:08>> WHAT IS THEIR ISSUE? REP. DILORENZO: THEY'RE IN VERY
00:51:12PIVOTAL SEATS. REP. STEIL: YEAH, BUT THIS IS OUR OPPORTUNITY.
00:51:16THIS IS WHAT THIS ELECTION IN MANY WAYS IS GOING TO BE ABOUT PUSHING THESE REFORMS THROUGH.
00:51:20, THAT'S ONE. BUT TWO, GETTING MORE PEOPLE
00:51:21THAT UNDERSTAND WHAT WE UNDERSTAND.
00:51:24YOU SHOULD BE A U.S. CITIZEN TO VOTE AND YOU SHOULD HAVE PHOTO ID AT THE POLLS WHEN YOU HAVE IT. BUT I APPRECIATE YOU GUYS.
00:51:28I'M ZIPPING ON, BUT I APPRECIATE YOU GUYS HAVING ME IN. IT WAS A GREAT CONVERSATION AND I APPRECIATE MORE THAN ANYTHING
00:51:32YOU GUYS' SUPPORT OF ANTHONY. THANKS EVERYBODY. [APPLAUSE]
00:51:42[CROWD TALKING]
