Charlie James discusses leaks on Trump’s upcoming election integrity speech.
from The Charlie James Show Podcast
Host Charlie James previews President Trump's upcoming address to the nation regarding election integrity, highlighting leaks that the speech may go beyond general talking points. He references investigative reporter Paul Sperry's reports that Trump may present evidence of Chinese interference in the 2020 election, specifically involving voter database hacks and mail-in ballot manufacturing. James connects these claims to reports of fake driver's licenses flooding the U.S. and plays a clip of White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt discussing the upcoming address. He criticizes the mainstream media for pre-emptively dismissing the speech as "unverified claims" and contrasts the public perception of alleged Russian interference with Chinese interference, pointing to past incidents like the Chinese spy balloon to emphasize his concerns regarding China's influence.
What this episode covers
Charlie James: All right, tonight President Trump is going to be addressing the nation, and it is going to be about election integrity. There are some leaked details. Um, President Trump has said that the speech is going to involve free and fair elections, voting machines, and what he is describing as, quote, "really big news." Beyond that, the White House has kept the details pretty close to their vest. That’s fueled a lot of questions about what could possibly be so big that Trump needs to address the nation. So most people are expecting just, you know, another general discussion about election integrity, and to that, the mainstream media is going, "bla, bla, bla, bla, bla, we’ve heard it all before." And Trump is trying to push the Save America Act, we know that, which they don’t want either. But investigative reporter Paul Sperry says what’s coming could be far more explosive. Sperry is saying that his White House anonymous source has read a draft of Trump's speech. And according to Sperry’s post over on X, he may present evidence that China interfered in the 2020 election, hacked state voter registration databases, and obtained information that could have been used to manufacture mail-in ballots for Joe Biden. Sperry’s source says that Trump’s evidence comes from four sets of documents that were just uncovered in suppressed intel records. That’s really big news. So, that’s one of the reasons that John Solomon is going to be there. John Solomon is a reporter's reporter, ladies and gentlemen. If he says it, you can take it to the bank pretty much, um, nine and a half times out of ten. He has, he has said that China absolutely flooded the United States with fake IDs, fake driver's licenses. So that they—why would you do that? Well, because of these people, you know, got to vote. Got to get these people voted. In—in every state. Now, today Karoline Leavitt was back from her maternity leave, and, um, she kind of confirmed exactly what Sperry just talked about. [Audio Clip - Karoline Leavitt]: "...140 days now. If what he says tonight is backed up by evidence, why hasn't anyone been charged?" [Audio Clip - Karoline Leavitt]: "...well, he hasn't revealed it yet. He hasn't declassified the documents yet, and you will see what he says tonight, and then we'll move forward appropriately from there." [Audio Clip - Reporter]: "...so will charges be filed tonight from the Justice Department?" [Audio Clip - Karoline Leavitt]: "...I don't speak on behalf of the Justice Department, Caitlyn. You know that. Rachel..." Charlie James: Yeah, so—so—so here's what's going to have to happen tonight. Is what's going to have to happen tonight, Donald Trump, you—if you're going to address the nation like this, like he's doing tonight, you better have all your ducks in a row. Every single one of them. You have got to be precise in your speech, you've got to be unambiguous, and you've got to lay out the case to the American people. Now, here's what a lot of these people in the media are doing. They're like, "Well, we're not even going to cover it. Not only are we not going to cover it, we're going to pretend like it didn't happen." And the only time we're going to actually acknowledge that it happened is if we find something that we can dispute with what the President said. I will guarantee you tonight—Donald Trump's going to be speaking tonight, we're going to have this speech right here on News Talk 98.9 WORD, we're going to carry it for you live—I will guarantee you journalists all over America—so-called journalists all over America—have already got the first two words of their story written: "Without evidence." All right, there you go. Story started, boss! We're ready to go to press. "Without evidence, Trump claims..." Yada, yada, yada, bla, bla, bla. They're ready. Oh, the fact-checkers are going to be out in force tonight. If you're a fact-checker, tonight is your night. You're—you're getting paid heavily by these people. So ...
