Election Integrity Lawsuits Target Nine States

Start listening at 32:03 – Hour 1

Marly Hornik, co-founder of United Sovereign Americans, details the organization’s novel legal strategy to restore election integrity through writs of mandamus filed in nine states. The lawsuits, based on forensic audits of official voter registration lists, seek court orders compelling election officials to verify citizenship and qualifications before issuing ballots.

Colorado’s lawsuit, supported by local director Mike Cahoon and donors organized by Kim Monson, documents 1,431,998 facially ineligible or uncertain registrations from the 2022 election cycle. Hornik explains that the mandamus approach stops short of accusing officials of wrongdoing, instead requesting courts order them to perform their statutory duties. The organization’s findings span Maryland, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Florida, Texas, Michigan, North Carolina, Colorado, and Georgia.

Hornik attributes President-elect Trump’s decisive victory partly to the scrutiny created by these federal lawsuits, suggesting that bad actors backed off when “the lights turned on” in federal court. She emphasizes that the goal is adjudication before 2026 primaries to ensure legally valid elections for Congress.

“They said that in the third sentence of the Constitution, the people shall choose their representatives, which is an interesting issue because if you think about it, actually, if you really sit down and you picture the government, if no one is elected, there is no government.”

Prompt Action After Personal Injury

Start listening at 65:05 – Hour 2

Jon Boesen of Boesen Law shares a personal story about his dog Leo’s encounter with a buck, using it to illustrate the importance of prompt action after any injury. The personal injury attorney emphasizes that victims should prioritize their health first by seeking immediate medical attention, whether from a motor vehicle collision, slip and fall, or dog attack.

Boesen distinguishes his practice from “mills” that rush to settle cases, explaining that proper representation requires ensuring clients are healthy and have received necessary care before exploring settlement. He notes the critical importance of early legal consultation, even from an ambulance, to ensure cases proceed correctly from the start. The statute of limitations creates urgency for preserving clients’ rights through timely lawsuit filing when needed.

“Because getting that critical initial advice from a competent, aggressive personal injury attorney like myself is super important.”

National Security Threats and Policy Shifts

Start listening at 73:31 – Hour 2

Andrew Thornebrooke, national security correspondent for The Epoch Times, analyzes the shifting landscape following President-elect Trump’s victory. He explains that Biden’s decision to allow Ukraine to use American long-range missiles against Russian territory is less risky now because Putin wants to avoid undermining international support for a negotiated settlement that Trump will pursue.

Thornebrooke sounds the alarm on America’s cybersecurity workforce shortage, citing FBI Director Christopher Wray’s revelation that Chinese hackers outnumber FBI cybersecurity specialists 50 to 1. He details how Chinese-made port cranes contained hidden routers capable of remote control, and notes that China currently has access to Verizon and AT&T infrastructure, taking eight months before the FBI detected the breach.

The discussion covers an Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps assassination plot against President-elect Trump, disrupted by the FBI in September. Thornebrooke also addresses Pete Hegseth’s nomination as Defense Secretary and the debate over DEI priorities in military readiness, while analyzing German Chancellor Scholz’s first call with Putin in two years ahead of Germany’s snap February election.

“We, of course, had FBI Director Christopher Wray last year saying that Chinese hackers outnumber FBI cybersecurity specialists 50 to 1. So this is a huge issue that we’re going to have to try to, unfortunately, build from the ground up in our workforce, and it’s going to take a long time.”
