Trump Raids Ohio Voters, Republicans Know It's Over

[00:00:00]Phew. Thank God Cash Patel's FBI has finally found  something to do. For a minute there, I was worried that between the unsolved Epstein questions, the  fentanyl crisis, and actual crime in our country, our premier law enforcement agency might  be stretched too thin. But no, on Thursday, FBI agents raided a voter registration group in  Ohio. Man, thankfully America is finally safe from the menace of people helping other people fill out  forms. And while I'm being a little funny about this, this is a real look at the actual links, the  actual actions that this administration is taking to allegedly rig the midterms. And these  agents raided the Cleveland offices of the Ohio Organizing Collaborative. It's a pro-democracy  group and their great crime is registering voters and knocking on doors to get out the vote. And it  wasn't just that office. Agents fanned out across Ohio going to people's homes. Some of them  carrying subpoenas demanding access to phones and laptops. Others they showed up without  a warrant at all, just a badge in a demand.

[00:01:11]And when asked about it, board member  Prrenice Haney said that the agents were quote basically trying to fish for information  using quote straight up intimidation tactics.

[00:01:21]In his words, they went to civil rights leaders  front doors and asked them on their own porches whether or not they were committing voter  fraud. They asked in front of their children.

[00:01:32]They followed people to work. They followed  people to school in front of their children.

[00:01:38]Yes, they followed people to work in  school, there is nothing funny about that.

[00:01:44]And before anybody tries to tell me this is  a rogue field office or I already see all the Republicans saying, "See, there's fraud." No  evidence. And look at the run sheet. Look at this.

[00:01:54]Agents knocking on election officials homes in  Wisconsin. Ballot seized in Georgia and Arizona.

[00:02:00]The DOJ subpoening uh Fulton County for the  personal contact information of election workers.

[00:02:06]the same kind of election workers who  were terrorized into hiding after 2020.

[00:02:12]This is a coordinated national project run through  Keystone Cash Patel's FBI. And the whole goal is to put fear into anyone that touches the  election that Emperor Trump might lose.

[00:02:26]Trump has spent months, he's pre-screaming fraud  about elections that haven't even happened yet.

[00:02:31]He did it about California's primary while  his own endorsed candidates were leading.

[00:02:37]He is inventing a fantasy and then building  it into reality. And his lie needs evidence.

[00:02:44]And when the evidence doesn't exist, you send  armed goons to a nonprofit in Cleveland and hope it scares everyone. And look, I'll say this one  with a with some authority because I I live I work in massive data sets. I live in spreadsheets. You  know what actual fraud looks like in the data?

[00:03:03]It looks like a rounding error  inside of another rounding error.

[00:03:07]Study after study, audit after audit, Republican  le recounts included, find fraud at rates so microscopic that you need a court order and  a magnifying glass to locate single cases.

[00:03:21]Hell, the biggest election interference that  has been allegedly found came from Elon Musk.

[00:03:27]But there is no fraud epidemic hiding in  Cleveland. And think about our FBI. Think about their capacity. The Epstein file still can't seem  to finish those. Nobody's going to jail there.

[00:03:40]Questions about Butler? Foggier by the week. But a  nonprofit in Ohio that registers voters in a swing state. Boom. Located, raided, staffed, surveiled,  doors knocked statewide, all in a single day.

[00:03:54]Funny how these resources just materialize  the the second the target is somebody helping regular people vote. And let's clear up  what Ohio Organizing Collaborative actually does because the FBI sure won't. They register  voters. They help people get to the polls.

[00:04:12]In a democracy, that is necessary work.  Yet, Donald Trump wants fewer people voting.

[00:04:20]Period. He wants people so scared that they won't  defy it. They want groups like that to quit. They want their staff to quit, the volunteers to stay  home, and the people funding them to get nervous.

[00:04:32]They want every voter registration drive in  every swing state to look at Ohio and go, "I don't know if it's worth it. They want it  difficult for voters to turn out, period."

[00:04:44]And and intimidation, it doesn't have to have a  conviction. It just has to make voting feel more dangerous. And honestly, in a in a dark way,  it kind of tells you something beautiful.

[00:04:57]They are terrified of you voting. And that's not  something a confident political movement does.

[00:05:03]They don't send federal agents after the clipboard  people. You only do that when you've seen the same polling that everybody else has. That Donald  Trump cannot hold on to power after November.

[00:05:16]So respond. Respond like it is November. Check  your registration right now. vote.org. It takes 90 something seconds. Get your ID sorted out,  including if your state requires real real ID, go do that now. Bring your passport if  you can. Make your plan to vote today.

[00:05:36]Vote early if you can. And if you are one of those  people that has to vote by mail, send the ballot back earlier. Walk it in yourself. Make sure  that your vote is so locked in that no raid, no subpoena, and no purge can touch it. And then keep  after your election officials. Get them to speak early and often about how they are safeguarding  against interference because you want to make it really awkward if any of them have to stand up and  say, "I didn't do my job." When Trump begs them, look, they're going to play intimidation.  So what what do we play? turnout.

[00:06:14]Their side is requiring fear. Ours requires  showing up. And do me a favor, subscribe to us while you're at it. Because when the FBI starts  treating even voter registration like a crime scene, someone like us, like all the independent  media out there, they've got to say it out loud.

[00:06:31]And they've got to say it every single day.  And people like me, we aren't going anywhere.
