    RUSH TRANSCRIPT Okay so ░░░░░░░░ want you to listen ░░░░░░░░ this very very very ░░░░░░░░ everyone A group of ░░░░░░░░ conservatives taking on former ░░░░░░░░ Trump s election fraud ░░░░░░░░ a group which includes ░░░░░░░░ and retired federal judges ░░░░░░░░ a 72 page report ░░░░░░░░ his bogus claims that ░░░░░░░░ 2020 elections were stolen ░░░░░░░░ at more than 60 ░░░░░░░░ cases filed by a ░░░░░░░░ Trump in six battleground ░░░░░░░░ the report found and ░░░░░░░░ quote here there is ░░░░░░░░ no evidence of fraud ░░░░░░░░ the 2020 presidential election ░░░░░░░░ the magnitude necessary to ░░░░░░░░ the result in any ░░░░░░░░ let alone the nation ░░░░░░░░ a whole In fact ░░░░░░░░ was no fraud that ░░░░░░░░ the outcome but at ░░░░░░░░ a single precinct Two ░░░░░░░░ people behind the report ░░░░░░░░ me now Former circuit ░░░░░░░░ judge for the U ░░░░░░░░ court of appeals for ░░░░░░░░ tenth circuit Michael McConnell ░░░░░░░░ former counsel to the ░░░░░░░░ national and congressional committee ░░░░░░░░ Ginsburg Thank you both ░░░░░░░░ joining us I think ░░░░░░░░ is a very important ░░░░░░░░ in segment I m ░░░░░░░░ glad that you re ░░░░░░░░ here Good evening Ben ░░░░░░░░ m gonna start with ░░░░░░░░ The report found no ░░░░░░░░ of fraud not a ░░░░░░░░ shred just period So ░░░░░░░░ to issue this report ░░░░░░░░ heard what Donald Trump ░░░░░░░░ in the election those ░░░░░░░░ extremely serious charges that ░░░░░░░░ elections don t work ░░░░░░░░ in fact there was ░░░░░░░░ evidence behind that the ░░░░░░░░ needs to be fixed ░░░░░░░░ if there is no ░░░░░░░░ behind it that needs ░░░░░░░░ be said because of ░░░░░░░░ corrosive effect that the ░░░░░░░░ he was making is ░░░░░░░░ on the democracy That ░░░░░░░░ why we undertook the ░░░░░░░░ report Michael you looked ░░░░░░░░ more than 60 cases ░░░░░░░░ were dismissed before hearing ░░░░░░░░ were dropped by Trump ░░░░░░░░ supporters 30 had a ░░░░░░░░ and lost Republicans still ░░░░░░░░ to push his lie ░░░░░░░░ what is going on ░░░░░░░░ can only think that ░░░░░░░░ people have not taken ░░░░░░░░ time or the trouble ░░░░░░░░ actually look behind the ░░░░░░░░ So there s a ░░░░░░░░ amount of trust that ░░░░░░░░ Trump people assume he ░░░░░░░░ his supporters must be ░░░░░░░░ the truth but it ░░░░░░░░ really essential for us ░░░░░░░░ think for ourselves and ░░░░░░░░ look for actual evidence ░░░░░░░░ not simply to buy ░░░░░░░░ claims of advocates in ░░░░░░░░ system Ben even before ░░░░░░░░ report Trump s own ░░░░░░░░ knew that the allegations ░░░░░░░░ baseless Listen to this ░░░░░░░░ made it clear that ░░░░░░░░ did not agree with ░░░░░░░░ idea of saying the ░░░░░░░░ was stolen and putting ░░░░░░░░ the stuff which I ░░░░░░░░ him was bowl beep ░░░░░░░░ was a real question ░░░░░░░░ my mind and a ░░░░░░░░ concern particularly after the ░░░░░░░░ general then reached a ░░░░░░░░ that there wasn t ░░░░░░░░ to change outcome of ░░░░░░░░ election when other people ░░░░░░░░ suggest that there was ░░░░░░░░ answer is what is ░░░░░░░░ At some point you ░░░░░░░░ to put up or ░░░░░░░░ up That was my ░░░░░░░░ At some point you ░░░░░░░░ put up or shut ░░░░░░░░ These people were under ░░░░░░░░ here Despite his own ░░░░░░░░ saying it s BS ░░░░░░░░ York Times polling showing ░░░░░░░░ of Republicans believe that ░░░░░░░░ is the winner 61 ░░░░░░░░ he s the legitimate ░░░░░░░░ Is there any thing ░░░░░░░░ this point that will ░░░░░░░░ s supporters that he ░░░░░░░░ Well we hope that ░░░░░░░░ at the facts behind ░░░░░░░░ case as well The ░░░░░░░░ of Stephen airs before ░░░░░░░░ committee the January 6th ░░░░░░░░ last Tuesday in which ░░░░░░░░ said he was arrested ░░░░░░░░ being in the capital ░░░░░░░░ he told the committee ░░░░░░░░ know if I had ░░░░░░░░ when I went into ░░░░░░░░ capital that there was ░░░░░░░░ evidence behind the allegation ░░░░░░░░ never would ve been ░░░░░░░░ I step back and ░░░░░░░░ behind my social media ░░░░░░░░ he realized that there ░░░░░░░░ nothing here We hope ░░░░░░░░ this report which does ░░░░░░░░ at every 187 counts ░░░░░░░░ in those 64 cases ░░░░░░░░ by Trump and supporters ░░░░░░░░ hope that this will ░░░░░░░░ convince people that there ░░░░░░░░ no It is a ░░░░░░░░ of getting the right ░░░░░░░░ to the people who ░░░░░░░░ t exposed to it ░░░░░░░░ it s partially that ░░░░░░░░ s partially the responsibility ░░░░░░░░ elected officials it s ░░░░░░░░ the responsibility of voters ░░░░░░░░ they go to the ░░░░░░░░ this year There s ░░░░░░░░ one single answer to ░░░░░░░░ problem but we hope ░░░░░░░░ this report will be ░░░░░░░░ piece of evidence that ░░░░░░░░ can use to see ░░░░░░░░ truth Michael the consequences ░░░░░░░░ consequences could we see ░░░░░░░░ our democracy if these ░░░░░░░░ lies aren t put ░░░░░░░░ bed It s certainly ░░░░░░░░ good for democracy it ░░░░░░░░ not good for the ░░░░░░░░ This is after all ░░░░░░░░ country that s built ░░░░░░░░ trust it s build ░░░░░░░░ the idea of two ░░░░░░░░ political parties that engaged ░░░░░░░░ putting policies before the ░░░░░░░░ people The other side ░░░░░░░░ not an enemy But ░░░░░░░░ also am not an ░░░░░░░░ about all of this ░░░░░░░░ think one of the ░░░░░░░░ important things to see ░░░░░░░░ what happened this year ░░░░░░░░ just how strong our ░░░░░░░░ were Not a single ░░░░░░░░ of President Trump s ░░░░░░░░ House counsel staff believed ░░░░░░░░ The Department of Justice ░░░░░░░░ did not believe this ░░░░░░░░ a single state legislature ░░░░░░░░ Republican legislatures did not ░░░░░░░░ to these requests Election ░░░░░░░░ Republicans among them did ░░░░░░░░ Not a single judge ░░░░░░░░ these even judges who ░░░░░░░░ appointed by President Trump ░░░░░░░░ guardrails were severely tested ░░░░░░░░ they held I think ░░░░░░░░ s an important thing ░░░░░░░░ remember Thank you very ░░░░░░░░ for that Michael Thank ░░░░░░░░ Ben It s an ░░░░░░░░ report again Nothing found ░░░░░░░░ it comes to the ░░░░░░░░ lies Lost not stolen ░░░░░░░░ conservative case that Trump ░░░░░░░░ and Biden won the ░░░░░░░░ presidential election We appreciate ░░░░░░░░ both joining us And ░░░░░░░░ inform us George avoid ░░░░░░░░ who will represent
