BACK TO YOU.
>> ALICIA ACUNA AT THE LAKE
HEADQUARTERS.
>> THANKS.
LAURA INGRAHAM JOINS US.
>> HI, GUYS.
WHAT A PANEL.
>> IT’S GREAT TO HAVE YOU WITH
US.
THIS ARIZONA RACE AND YOU SAID
YOU WERE JUST LISTENING TO THE
ARGUMENTS RIGHT BEFORE THE COURT
TO EXTEND VOTING BECAUSE OF THE
PROBLEMS THAT WE HEARD ABOUT
THIS MORNING.
>> YEAH, 25% OF THE TABULATION
WASN’T GOING ACCORDING TO PLAN,
WHICH IS A LOT OF PEOPLE.
THE REPORTS WERE PEOPLE TRIED TO
GO TO OTHER PRECINCTS TO VOTE
AND THEY ALREADY WERE LOGGED AS
HAVING VOTED SOMEWHERE ELSE.
SO THEIR VOTES DIDN’T COUNT.
THAT WAS NOT ALLOWED BY THE
JUDGE TO BE EXTENDED AS FAR AS
VOTING GOES.
HOUSTON, THEY HAD OTHER PROBLEMS
IN HOUSTON.
THEY EXTENDED VOTING.
ANOTHER SET OF FACTS.
IT BRINGS TO MIND AGAIN THIS
CONFUSION ABOUT HOW VOTES ARE
CAST, WHEN THEY’RE COUNTED, WHEN
THEY’RE ALLOWED TO BE POST
MARKED.
I’M NOT FAVOR OF FEDERALIZING
ELECTIONS, BUT EVERY TWO YEARS
WE’LL HAVE THIS PROBLEM.
WE DIDN’T HAVE THIS PROBLEM UP
UNTIL WHAT?
2016 IS WHEN WE STARTED HAVING
THIS PROBLEM.
>> DEMOCRATS SAY THIS IS THE
BILL.
THEY GO FURTHER FOR ANOTHER THEY
ARE REASONS.
IS THERE A BILL IN BETWEEN THAT
SAYS HERE’S A NATIONAL STANDARD
THAT EACH STATE HAS TO MEET OR
SOMETHING.
>> WE’LL SEE HOW THAT GOES.
FLORIDA, I SAID THIS WHEN I WAS
WITH YOU GUYS ON ELECTION NIGHT
IN 2020, FLORIDA IS STILL THE
MODEL NOR THE COUNTRY, I THINK.
THE COALITION OF NEW VOTERS,
YOUNGER VOTERS, LATINO VOTERS.
WE’LL SEE WHERE AFRICAN AMERICAN
VOTERS TURN OUT IN MIAMI-DADE
WHEN IT’S BROKEN DOWN.
BUT THIS WAS A TOUR DEFORCE
PERFORMANCE BYRON DESANTIS AND
MARCO RUBIO.
TO ME, THAT IS THE GREAT LIGHT
FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
THEY KNOW HOW TO COUNT VOTES.
THEY KNOW HOW TO TABULATE
ABSENTEE VOTES AND MAIL-IN
BALLOTS.
IT WORKED IN 2020 AND SEEMS TO
BE WORKING NOW FOR THE
REPUBLICANS.
THE STATE HAS CERTAINTY, WHICH I
THINK IS SO IMPORTANT FOR
PEOPLE’S BELIEF AND TRUST IN THE
SYSTEM.
>> THAT’S RIGHT.
WHAT HAPPENS IN FLORIDA WAS THAT
THEY WENTZ THROUGH THE HANGING
CHAD EXPERIENCE AND SAID NEVER
AGAIN.
WE’RE GOING TO FIX THIS.
SO THEY OPENED THE BALLOTS AS
THEY COME IN AND THEN THEY START
PROCESSING THOSE BALLOTS.
IF YOU LIVE IN FLORIDA, YOU CAN
TRACE YOUR BALLOT ON A WEBSITE.
HERE’S WHERE YOURS IS.
WE HAVE IT.
IT’S BEEN COUNTED.
SO WHY HAVEN’T THEY LEARNED THAT
LESSON IN PLACES LIKE
PENNSYLVANIA?
KARI LAKE SAID IF I’M ELECTED,
WE’RE GOING TO CLEAN IT UP.
>> YOU’LL SEE NEW REPUBLICANS
PROPOSE THAT.
IT’S INCUMBENT UPON THEM TO DO
THIS.
WE TALK ABOUT TRUST IN ELECTIONS
AND BELIEF IN DEMOCRACY.
IT’S SO IMPORTANT THAT PEOPLE IN
BOTH PARTIES REALLY HAVE FAITH
IN OUR SYSTEM.
EVERY TWO YEARS, WE’LL HAVE THIS
STAGGER EFFECT IN THE ELECTION
CYCLE.
I DON’T THINK IT’S GOOD.
WE KNOW HOW TO DO IT.
>> THEY PICKED UP FOUR HOUSE
RACES IN FLORIDA.
REPUBLICANS NEED FIVE TO TAKE
CONTROL OF THE HOUSE.
WE’LL SEE HOW THE REST OF THE
COUNTRY FLOWS.
IT’S LOOKING LIKE IT COULD BE
ANYWHERE FROM 15 TO 30 SEATS IN
THE HOUSE.
BUT THERE’S A DISCONNECT IT
SEEMS WITH THE SENATE RACES THAT
ARE REALLY TIGHT.
AS WE’RE LOOKING AT THEM RIGHT
NOW.
HOW DO YOU SEE IT?
>> I THINK RIGHT NOW WE’RE
GOING -- I’M WATCHING WHAT SELL
DIDN’T WILL DO IN NEW YORK.
THERE COULD BE AS MANY AS FIVE
HOUSE SEEPS THAT FLIP OUT ON
LONG ISLAND.
THAT IS FASCINATING.
HE MIGHT WIN, HE MIGHT NOT WIN.
IF HE COMES WITHIN FIVE POINTS
OF TAKING IT FROM HOCHUL, THAT
IS REALLY SIGNIFICANT.
LOOK, IN THE END OF THIS CYCLE
WHEN WE CAST THE LAST VOTES, IT
COULD BE A MIXED BAG FOR SOME OF
THE MAGA CANDIDATES.
BUT THIS IS THE PROCESS.
YOU HAVE TO HAVE -- RUN GREAT
CAMPAIGNS.
IT’S A COMPLEX ELECTORATE WITH A
LOT OF ISSUES BUBBLING OUT
THERE.
KARI LAKE WAS DISCOUNTED.
I WAS FOR THE OTHER CANDIDATE.
SHE REALLY TURNED OUT TO RUN A
GREAT RACE IN THE END.
>> WE SHOULD POINT OUT, THEY
COULD GET THREE SEATS IN THE
SENATE.
IT’S EARLY.
WE DON’T KNOW HOW THESE RACES
WILL TURN OUT IN THE END.
>> DON BOLDUC IN NEW HAMPSHIRE,
KEEP AN EYE ON THAT.
HASSAN IS FAVORED TO WIN.
WE DON’T KNOW AT THIS POINT.
HE COULD PULL IT OUT.
>> AS YOU POINT OUT, WE’VE BEEN
GOING THROUGH ALL OF THESE
VOTING RULES FOR ALL OF THESE
STATES, THERE’S SO MANY STATES
WHERE THEY WILL NOT -- THEY
DON’T SAY WE’RE GOING TO COUNT
THE MAIL-IN FIRST AND THEN COUNT
THE DAY OF.
THEN WE GO TO OUR PROVISIONAL
BALLOTS.
WHEN YOU GET THIS VOTE IN AND
I’M SEEING THINGS ARE CHANGING
AROUND IN OHIO RIGHT NOW.
IT JUST -- THAT’S THE THING THAT
PEOPLE DON’T -- IT FOSTERS
DISTRUST IN THE SYSTEM.
>> I THINK ALSO TO THE POINT
THAT -- YOU TALKED ABOUT LIKE
PHILOSOPHY EARLIER.
DEPENDING ON WHAT O’DEA DOES IN
CALIFORNIA.
IF HE LOSES, THAT’S SOMETHING TO
TAKE INTO ACCOUNT.
IF MIKE LEE WINS BY A MASSIVE
MARGIN IN UTAH, THAT’S A LOSS
FOR MITT ROMNEY.
SO THERE’S A DIVIDE IN THE
