JESSE WATTERS (CO-HOST): Everybody has the right to be suspicious in this country. If you have a COVID election where they blow out all of the signature requirements, they blow out all of the deadlines and then they blast out all these unsolicited ballots into the ecosystem with no chain of custody, you're not suspicious? You have a right to be suspicious.
And all these state legislators had no power to do anything about it. It was just done via judicial fiat. And then Zuckerberg lands -- I think it was a half billion -- layers over all these election volunteers all over the State Worker Act. These people were activists that were running this thing.
So, if someone sends you an affidavit that says there's monkey business in Detroit, the president has every legal right to call the -- you know -- Michigan state legislature and say, "Can you guys look into this?" Maybe you want to send an alternative slate of electors for me.
And by the way, it's not a big deal to send an alternative slate of electors. You know what they did when -- like what? Half dozen alternative electors came in? They had the real ones. Then they got alternative ones and then they just threw the other ones in the trash. That's it. It didn't mean anything. It's just an alternative elector. That's it.
