0:00.0 | Okay, I'm here with Jim Cutler. Jim, can you tell me you've been doing some research on this whole idea of the mail-in voting? This is confusing because it seems like the Democrats really want mail-in voting. This is part of their whole narrative that we need to be scared. We need to stay in our homes, we can't go out. |
0:21.2 | If we go out, we have to wear a mask, but a mask won't protect us, and so we can't possibly |
0:25.7 | vote in person. And this seems like the reason why they're in favor of this is because it'll |
0:32.2 | be easier for them to steal the election. And so Trump has come out hard against mail-in voting, not absentee voting, |
0:39.9 | which is different. And so he's been tweeting against it, tweeting against it. And so, Jim, |
0:47.1 | what are these two sides? And what do you think is on the playbook of either side? |
1:01.1 | I'm going to take you back to the Iowa caucus at the beginning of the primaries and talk a little bit about how that went down. |
1:04.5 | Here you have a very visible voting process. |
1:10.4 | The Iowa caucuses are always looked at as that bellwether for how people |

1:35.2 | Democrats. The Democrats came up with an app. Of course, you know, this is a, the Republicans, |
1:40.8 | you know, this is a non-issue for Republicans pretty much on this particular thing, |
1:45.7 | because we have the incumbent. So the Democrats come up with this app that is going to be used to |
1:51.9 | collect the votes and to tabulate them and to get them out. And it's supposed to be whiz-bang and |
1:59.5 | really, you know, effective and quick and |
2:01.6 | efficient and all that. Well, we come to find out that the thing was a complete disaster, |
2:06.6 | and it created an enormous amount of chaos, and that chaos caused a delay in the balloting |
2:13.3 | and all kinds of repercussions. So the question then is, what was the purpose of that app? |
2:20.1 | Was that Democrats really trying to create something that was useful |
2:24.7 | that would help them do things accurately and efficiently that went awry? |
