Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying about Not 2020. But rightly.
Speaker 3: Because I think he's

Speaker 1: Trump knows he's an illegitimate president.
Speaker 9: The president elect, although legally elected, is not legitimate. I don't
Speaker 10: see his President-elect as a legitimate president. You said you believe that Russia's interference altered the outcome of the auction.
Speaker 1: I do. We have a president who, if in fact it is proven, has been assisted by the Russians and may in fact not be a legitimate president. The one thing that Trump It's fearful of, when it comes to his being president, is that finally, we will see how illegitimate his victory actually was.
Speaker 3: I have an objection.
Speaker 10: I object to the 15 votes from the state of North Carolina. I object because people are horrified. He's an illegitimate president. Our election was hijacked. There was no question.
Congress has a duty to hashtag protect our democracy and hashtag follow the facts.
Speaker 8: John Lewis is completely right. There is a cloud of illegitimacy around the election of Donald Trump. The Russians interfered with his election. James Comey and the FBI interfered with his, election. The fake news industry interfered with his election.
Speaker 1: Trump knows he's an illegitimate president who got Illegitimate foreign powers. Do you believe Trump is a legitimate president?
Speaker 10: What I believe is that there's no question that the outcome of this election was affected by the Russian interference?
Speaker 3: There actually is a cloud of illegitimacy. So that legitimacy is the question. Yes.
Speaker 9: So that was a very tainted election. And and in that sense, it's it's illegitimate.

Speaker 10: Stolen emails. Stolen drone. Stolen drone. Stolen election. Welcome Welcome to the world of unprecedented Trump.
Did you believe president Trump is an illegitimate president?
Speaker 7: Based on what I just said, was I can't retract.
Speaker 10: We tweeted in February 2018, quote, the more we learn about the 2016 election, the more illegitimate it becomes. America deserves to know whether we have a fake president in the Oval Office.
Speaker 9: In the Russian attempt to to have the election. And frankly, the FBI is weighing in on the election. I think make the make Makes this election illegitimate.
Speaker 1: There was a widespread understanding that this election was not on the level. We still don't know what really happened, Isaac. I mean, there's just a lot that I think will be revealed, history will discover, But you don't win by 3,000,000 votes and have all this other shenanigans stuff going on and not come away with an idea like, woah, something's not right here.
Speaker 8: It seems to me that there's a cloud of illegitimacy that continues to hang over 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
Speaker 10: The outcome of the election was affected by their interference. And now we need to know, you know, to what degree, if any, the Trump campaign He was actually in collusion with
Speaker 1: the Russia. He knows he's an illegitimate president. So of course he's test with me. And I believe that it's a guilty conscience.
Speaker 6: We actually won the last presidential election, folks. They Stole by election.
Speaker 3: And Al Gore won that election. I think he won anyway.
Speaker 5: Actually, I think I carried Florida.
Speaker 7: Al Gore Won the election nationwide and also in Florida, but the Supreme Court ruled the other way.
Speaker 5: Al Gore got more votes, but not enough to stay out of the Supreme Court where president Bush was elected About 4.
Speaker 1: Bush versus Gore. A court took away a presidency.
Speaker 5: If all the votes were counted in Florida, Dale Gold would be president today and George Bush would be back in office.
Speaker 11: I come from Florida, where you and others participated in what I call The United States coup d'etat.
Speaker 10: Since 2013, according to reports, vice president Joe Biden, he claimed that Al Gore was the one He was elected president, and he claimed that the recount result was, quote, a bad decision.
Speaker 6: And never forget, dear friends, what they did in Florida to Al Gore me to all of us, the older Americans, the African Americans, the Haitian Americans denied the right take the vote and have those votes out of it.
Speaker 7: I do believe that projections were right in the 1st place at 7 o'clock when they called before.
Speaker 11: Let me tell you something without a doubt. George Bush did not carry Florida and it was not closed.
Speaker 3: There's no question that you won the state
Speaker 5: of Florida. Oh, thank you, mister Charles.
Speaker 3: No. It's a question. That's a question.
Speaker 6: We will never know because the votes weren't weren't counted.
Speaker 5: But but And And then in your judgment I mean, that's Unfortunately. Yeah.
Speaker 6: And there is no other way of saying it but be very blunt. Al Gore won the State of Florida in 2000, and we should never forget it.
Speaker 3: Most Americans, a great many Americans, don't have confidence That the election of 2000 was fair.
Speaker 7: But I don't believe we lost that. I believe we just failed to have all of the votes counted
Speaker 4: The Supreme Court election in 2004. Yeah.
Speaker 10: Al Gore won The state of Florida in 2000, although not the presidency. We know we won this election. They know we won this election. And Americans know We won this election.
Speaker 7: I know some people want you to believe that the Gore campaign was a campaign that wasn't able to complete its mission. We did. Had all of those votes been found in Florida, I think Al Gore would be president today.
Speaker 6: We had more votes. We won, and We are never going to let the United States Supreme Court choose the president of the United States again.
Speaker 10: You should know by now based on the fact that he lost the popular vote by more than a half 1000000 voters, and we don't know how many he lost by in Florida.
Speaker 7: There's no doubt in my that Al Gore was elected president.
Speaker 10: I rise to object to the fraudulent 25 Florida electoral votes.
Speaker 6: Really, we won the election in 2000, but they Stole the election. I must object because of the overwhelming evidence of official misconduct, deliberate chair in an attempt The chairman to resign No.
Speaker 5: Enron had already helped the Bush team with such favors as ferrying their rent a mob to Florida in 2000 To permanently halt the counting of legally cast ballots. It
Speaker 10: is signed by myself on behalf of my diverse constituents and the millions of Americans who have been disenfranchised by by Florida's inaccurate vote counts of Supreme Court,
Speaker 1: not the peace with the United States beside of this election. Speaking to a Democratic group in Chicago dues that he made it clear he thinks Al Gore was the winner.
Speaker 5: The time it was over,
Speaker 3: our candidate had won the popular vote. And And the only way they could win the election was to stop the voting in Florida.
Speaker 6: Catherine Harris, Jeb Bush, Jim Baker, and The Supreme Court hadn't tampered with the results. Al Gore would be president.
Speaker 1: I think that the issue before us today, is not who He won or cut upon the 2000 presidential election. That issue has been settled not to my opinion, but it has been settled. Trump, president. Trump. Trump.
Trump. Trump. Trump. Trump.
Speaker 7: Trump. Trump.
Speaker 3: Trump. Trump. Trump. Trump. Trump.
Trump. Trump. Trump. Trump. Trump.
President, president or not. Al Gore should have been president of the United States.
Speaker 12: Al Gore, made it possible for George Bush to be the only appointed president in the history of these United States.
Speaker 3: Democrats have won the past 3 presidential elections. In 2000, unions turned down 25% of the vote and Al Gore won.
Speaker 5: But But the Supreme Court hampered? That's a large charge. The Supreme Court stopped the counting of votes, and if they've let the count go on, Al Gore would've got the necessary votes.
Speaker 11: The Supreme Court elected George w Bush as the president. He was not elected.
Speaker 10: There is Quaming evidence that George W Bush did not win this election.
Speaker 5: What I observed, as a voter, as a citizen of Illinois, 4 years ago were troubling evidence of the fact that not every vote was being counted. Don't think that George w Bush won On the election, in 2000, I guess, that would go because I I think that he probably lost Florida and also that nationwide. If you invite Be back on this show in about 8 weeks. I think you're gonna learn that Elvore Anthony did get all the votes there.
Speaker 3: I felt what happened in Florida was a carefully Worked out conspiracy. That many things could not go wrong in one state without there having been a conspiracy. Many, many different things did go wrong. Many tricks were pulled of various kinds.
Speaker 7: The vice president did win, but, And I do believe that the majority of voters that intended to to go to polls last year wanted to vote and cast their votes for Al Gore. I do believe that in in
Speaker 13: in terms of Florida as well.
Speaker 3: The court has been thwarting formation of the popular will. The most spectacular example being Bush versus Gore, where the majority by a five four vote and joined the counting of more than a 100,000 ballots in Florida and essentially gave America its 1st court point to president Trump this morning, this morning, and stolen. Even though Al Gore won the election, he won't take office.
Speaker 14: That election was stolen from the rightful winner. So, mister speaker, I'm here today to talk about a stolen Presidential election,
Speaker 5: I think, in 2000, everybody thought, well,
Speaker 6: he did win the election. It helped work.
Speaker 3: He started dividing America here In Florida, by trying to take an election that I think Any reasonable person would say he hadn't actually won.
Speaker 11: What happened in Florida We'll go down in history as a coup d'etat.
Speaker 3: Could we conclude, is it possible that There was a conspiracy and Florida officials were involved in the conspiracy. Never have so many things gone so wrong in one place before. Why how do all these things happen all at the same time in the same state? Is not it possible that there was a conspiracy it was very well organized. Why was state police out there on that day, election day, checking license plates and I'm talking about, you know, how did all these things happen in 1 state at one time in 1 election?
Is is it possible that we are Use the words of conspiracy and not be afraid of it.
Speaker 1: And I sure wish Gore was president right now. He should be.
Speaker 5: Well, yes, he got elected. Oh, well done.
Speaker 6: A battle that by the will of the people should have ended in victory. But tens of thousands of Florida votes either were not counted or tossed down in the 2000 presidential election.
Speaker 5: Five supreme court justices. You've trumped the votes of 21,000,000 Americans. We should've let the entire state be reconned so it was clear, that Al Gore actually won the state of Florida.
Speaker 11: And Al Gore won the election. We had The election stolen from us,
Speaker 1: and you must admit that. They stole it, and we need a leader to help us get Revenues.
Speaker 3: Cobb voted for Al Gore. He won the election. They usurped the the powers of the clause being caught and they had and they intervened. It was a fix as far as we're concerned. You know?
There's no polite way to talk about it because the fix was in.
Speaker 11: After the election, when you stole the election, you came back here and say, get over No. We're not gonna get over it.
Speaker 6: You know it. I know it. They know it. We won that election.
Speaker 13: Constantly shifting vote tallies in Ohio A malfunctioning electronic machines, which may not have paper receipts, have led to additional loss of confidence by the public.
Speaker 6: The right to vote has been stolen from qualified voters.
Speaker 10: The New Yorker reported that Kerry thought that, quote, proxies Bush had rigged many of the voting machines. In 2004, the democratic process was thwarted.
Speaker 3: The 2004 Presidential election in Ohio was riddled with unnecessary problems.
Speaker 10: Some machines malfunction, causing votes to be counted more than once or not at all.
Speaker 15: Based upon an An inordinate number of allegations suggesting gross voting rights violations and misconduct, I join with my colleagues and objective to counting The state of Ohio's electoral votes.
Speaker 16: Now as in 2000, the votes that many who wanted to vote were not in fact counted.
Speaker 1: This last Friday night, I I arranged to meet Senator Kerry at a fundraiser to give him a copy of my book. He told me he now thinks the election was stolen. The wife of John Kerry said she has lingering doubts about the legitimacy Receipt of the election. Her theory goes like this. 2 brothers, she calls hard right Republicans, own 80% on voting machines in the US.
Therefore, it would be easy to hack into the mother machines that control the electronic voting.
Speaker 10: There were numerous irregularities in Ohio, including large percentages of projections of provisional balloting, problems with voting machines.
Speaker 1: As we look At our election system, I think it's fair to say that there are many legitimate questions about its accuracy, About its integrity There are still legitimate concerns
Speaker 13: over the integrity of our elections.
Speaker 2: The question obviously is, How many instances were not caught that we don't know about? Number 1, we've seen a lot of what I'll call honest glitches where it just didn't work right, But also that these machines are hackable. A dishonest employee of the vendor or a dishonest employee of the local Board of Elections or simply someone who knows electronics And his computer at home, could hack into these machines and then put in the secret instructions to disregard every 20th Democratic voter had 10% of the carrier to the Bush vote or whatever. He might not even know it.
Speaker 6: I agree with tens of millions of Americans who are very worried that When they cast the ballot on an electronic voting machine that there is no paper trail to record that vote. The numerous Irregularities that occurred with the electronic voting machines in Ohio on November 2nd last year point to an unresolved Our national crisis.
Speaker 10: We cannot declare that the election of November 2, 2004 was free and clear and transparent And Rio, there must be independent testing of the voting machines used in Ohio.
Speaker 1: I'm not confident that the election in Ohio was fairly decided. We know that there was Potential voter suppression, and the machines were not reliable.
Speaker 13: The members of Congress who have brought this challenge are Speaking up for their agreed constituents, many of whom may have been disenfranchised in this process.
Speaker 16: Treating today's electoral vote count in congress as a meaningless ritual would be an insult to our democracy unless we registered our own protest against the obviously fraud voting process that took place in so many of our states.
Speaker 5: Voters who wish to cast a vote for president or vice president Can't approach the polls with certainty that their vote will be counted. One of
Speaker 3: the most significant problems in Ohio And in many other states was a lack of measures to ensure the integrity of electronic voting machines. In 2004, They caused democratic voters in Ohio to wait for 8 hours before they could cast their ballot. They turned the department of civil rights and the justice Department into the voter suppression division with voter ID laws, voter purging, voter caging, voter intimidation. There aren't gonna be any more Election stealing.
Speaker 1: And I do have one very affirmative statement to say. We won. But I didn't lose. I got the votes, but we won't know exactly how many because How they cheated. I did win my election.
I just didn't get to have the job. We were robbed of an election.
Speaker 11: Without voter suppression, Stacey Abrams would be the governor of Georgia. Andrew Gillum is the governor of Lower them.
Speaker 4: Using the word rigged, using the word steal, do you think it's dangerous going into 2020?
Speaker 1: I I don't because we can actually back it up. And so the response to what I believe Was it stolen election? I'm not saying they stole it from me. They stole it from the governor's door. Back to the outside asking if I'm ever gonna concede.
The answer is no. If she had a fair election, she already would have won. This is not a speech of concession. There's a section need to acknowledge an action is right, true, or pro. And I will not concede because the erosion of our democracy is not from.
You refused to concede and say that you lost. Do you stand by that decision today? Absolutely.
Speaker 3: If Stacey Abrams doesn't win in Georgia, They stole it. It's clear. It's clear.
Speaker 1: It was not a free and fair election. I think the election was stolen from the people of Georgia. I believe it was stolen from the voters.
Speaker 9: So I
Speaker 5: think that Stacey Abrams' election is being stolen from her.
Speaker 1: The election was not fair. The process was not fair. Was not fair. Thousands of Georgians had their voices stolen because they were not able to cast ballots. And they cannot be guaranteed that their votes will be counted in 2020 if we don't do this right.
Speaker 4: If what happens to you happens nationally and we we see, whoever runs for whoever wins the Democratic nominee, If they say actually I can prove that there's a number of votes in every state that that and it's and that's the same thing that you just described happens in multiple states, should they concede?
Speaker 1: I do not think we should concede an election until we know the results of an election. I still fundamentally believed it could be fair. And that's just not how life works. If it looks like it's cheating, it probably is. If it looks like it's rigged, it probably is.
Speaker 6: Steve would be the governor of Georgia today had the governor of Georgia not disenfranchised 1,400,000 Georgia voters before the election. That's what happened to Stacey Abrams. They took the votes away.
Speaker 10: Uh-huh. You, notably did not concede. Okay. You acknowledged that he won, but You did not concede. Correct.
5 months later, do you still feel like your opponent won through voter suppression? Yes. Reminder, she wrote, Brian Kemp stole the gubernatorial election from Georgians and Stacey Abrams. I said
Speaker 1: that the election was stolen from Georgia voters. The Process that took place during the legislative cycle was one that did not countenance and did not pay attention to the deep and real concerns of those Who watched this election be stolen in the state of Georgia? It was stolen from the voters of Georgia. Georgia voters did not have their votes counted. They were not allowed to cast votes.
They had their or discarded.
Speaker 5: It certainly gave the appearance of unfairness. I think it was unfair. Stacy ran a great campaign. She probably won.
Speaker 1: And it was not fair to those who Build up absentee ballots, and depending on the county you send it to, it either was counted or not counted, assuming you received it in time. Brian Kemp oversaw For 8 years, the systematic and systemic dismantling of our democracy, and that means there could not be free and fair elections in Georgia. As long as we have eligible American citizens who cannot cast a ballot, then the game is rigged. I am complicit if I say that that system is fair. Concession in the political space is an acknowledgement that the process is fair.
And I don't believe that to be so. But I refuse to concede because concession means that the process was proper, that the result was true and right and I cannot say that. I tend to say and lose. I just didn't win. And I don't call it a lot.
I just didn't win. Yes. Yes. Okay. Officially.
Yes. Officially. Presumably, I didn't get to get inaugurated and that's possible. Okay. But will I say that this election was not tainted, was not a disinvestment and a disenfranchisement Of thousands of voters, I will not say that.
Candidates, both black and white, lost their races because they have been deprived of the votes they otherwise would have gotten. And the clearest example is from next door in Georgia. Stacy Abrams should be governor leading that state right now. I was joking with Beth backstage when She lost. I'm like, no, I just didn't win, because we don't know what really happened because of the miasma of voter suppression.
I can't know For a fact that I would be the governor of Georgia, but for the malfeasance and the mismanagement of Brian Kemp, but I know it's a Pretty good guess. So I can't prove that I would have won, but I know we don't know because of how he behaved.
Speaker 5: Is he the legitimate governor elect of Georgia?
Speaker 1: He is the person who won an adequate number of votes from the governor.
Speaker 9: With all with all due respect and I
Speaker 5: respect where you're coming from and the the issues that you're raising. You're not answering the question. Do you think Wait
Speaker 3: a minute.
Speaker 1: I know. I what I'm not You're
Speaker 5: not using the word legitimate. Is he the legitimate governor elect Georgia?
Speaker 1: He is the legal governor of Georgia. I'm here to tell you that just because you win doesn't mean you're won. They said to me that you did not lose. You just did not win. Yes.
So we're gonna talk about that. Bad news is that we didn't get the victory fee secured. And The thing is we will never know empirically that I got more votes because we will never know which votes didn't get count. This was not fair. It was not right and it is deeply improper that someone could ascend to that role having performed So basically and so crassly against the very people he is now supposed to represent.
The election was not fair. The process was not fair. So you don't feel that you lost fair and clear? I do recognize I am not the governor of Georgia, but I do like to point out something that is true for me and from many in our state. And that is we won.
I'm not
Speaker 3: saying it's gonna be legit. It's the increase in the prospect of being illegitimate is a direct proportion of Not being able to get these these reforms passed.
Speaker 1: Right wing extremists already have a plan to literally steal the Presidential election.
Speaker 14: It's not as if it's just Republicans who have monkered around with elections in the past, sometimes Democrats have to. You know, whenever people are in power, There you know, they have this tendency to try to, you know, tilt things in their direction.
