Why It’s Up to Us to Save Our Elections | Plus Fraud Finally Exposed?

Why It’s Up to Us to Save Our Elections | Plus Fraud Finally Exposed?

By | | Comments 0 Comment

Air Dates: February 7th & 8th, 2026

Guests: Dr. Douglas Frank and Dr. Jerome Corsi

About This Episode

On Show 16-06, it’s all about election integrity. There is some mixed news out of Oregon on that front, good and potentially bad, but some very good news in Fulton County. The FBI raided their elections office and seized .700 boxes of evidence from the 2020 election.

Starting in Oregon, we welcome back Dr. Frank, who is a world-renowned physicist, inventor, and Nobel Prize nominee.  He has investigated election integrity across the country for the past five years. Among them, Oregon is a special focus of his because of its unique and inventive ways to open the door to fraud behind the scenes. His presentations not only expose what’s happening but teach people what they can do to retake control of our elections.

He’ll be back in Oregon, starting February 20th, for a week of visits and then back again in March and April. (See Secure OurElectionsNow.org/events for dates and times.)

Judicial Watch is suing Oregon over its dirty voter rolls. Dr. Frank discusses how states can have safe elections, how it’s much more than just voter rolls, and he gives us a rundown of how to make that happen.

Fulton County FBI Raid

Then we bring back Dr. Corsi to discuss the recent FBI raid to seize evidence of 2020 election fraud in Georgia and what he believes we will find out from their investigation.

Remember, it wasn’t just the presidential election stolen in Georgia. It was both U.S. Senators who were fraudulently voted into office. While we can’t undo the 2020 election, what about the laws resulting from it? And what about the people who committed the fraud.

Biden’s auto pen scandal will seem puny in comparison. This could get really messy. Tune in to find out why.

Oregon Democrats vs. Your Wallet: Blocking Trump’s Tax Cuts to “Protect” You?

Release Date: January 31, 2026

Episode Subtitle: Oregon’s economy burns under Democratic policies—now they’re sabotaging Trump’s tax cuts. Connect the dots before it’s too late.

Duration: 47:55

Host: Mark Anderson

Guests: Jonathan Williams, President and Chief Economist of American Legislative Exchange Council, the nation’s premier state policy organization dedicated to to the principles of limited government, free markets and federalism.


About This Episode

Oregon’s economy is already smoldering under punitive taxes and regulations—now Democrats want to pour gasoline on the fire by decoupling from Trump’s tax cuts in the One Big Beautiful Bill.

Proven free-market policies work every time they’re tried. So why is Oregon—dead last in business environment—stubbornly choosing the opposite? Full Democratic control (super-majorities in both chambers, Governor’s office, all statewide positions, even the Supreme Court) prioritizes left-wing ideology over results, crushing businesses and citizens alike.

This episode connects the dots: How bad economic policies create bad economies—and why voters need to fill in the right ones on their ballots. You’ll gain more insight than most state legislators, just in time—because Oregon is running out of clock before the flames spread.

No math, just facts and real-world examples. Tune in to see how ideology is burning down the state… and what can still be done.

Show Notes

  • 00:00 – Intro to some basics, like the single-most important factor whether someone buys something—and why higher taxes don’t mean more money for the state.
  • 05:10 – Simple example why raising taxes doesn’t work that every legislator should learn
  • 09:14 – Other factors that people and especially businesses consider when relocating. Elections have consequences: a new state enters the race to the bottom and seems determined to beat Oregon to it.
  • 16:37 – Oregon as the example and warning for other states what not to do. Breaking the mindset of raising taxes every time a state feels pinched.
  • 21:24 – Why Oregon Democrat’s bad economic policies are so critical at a time like this. What is happening that could damage Oregon for decades.
  • 25:23 – Oregon media got excited that more moving trucks arrived in Oregon than left. But what those moving trucks surveys don’t mention.
  • 28:55 – Oregon Democrats are about to make a massive mistake. Those moving vans might be turning around.
  • 34:03 – The regulation Trump just repealed that will save U.S. businesses well over $1 trillion per year. Connecting the dots and why that’s so important. One Big Beautiful Bill tax cuts people will see this year.
  • 39:57 – It’s not just no tax on tips and no tax on overtime. Connecting the dots between a huge new tax rule for businesses that will grow economic activity. And why left-wing politicians will hate it and try to stop it.

Transcript

Opener:

Here’s a question for you. What is the single-most important determining factor whether or not someone buys something? The one reason that is generally more important than all of the others.

If you said price, you were correct. And you have a better sense of economics than the overwhelming majority of Oregon’s elected democrats.

This comes directly from a theory in microeconomics — although it’s not really theoretical, it’s a known fact — so we’ll say, a “principle” known as the law of demand. All things being equal, the price of a good or service is the main factor that determines how much consumers will buy of those goods or services.

I mention this because on today’s show we’re going to take a look at what Oregon Democrats’ recklessness is doing and will do to Oregon If they get their way to raise prices and worse to take money out of your pocket which is the same as raising prices.

Because they don’t seem to understand this basic concept.

Because here’s a related issue. The more money you have to spend, that you must spend, the less money you have available for other things. Again that’s pretty simple. If your rent goes up and your income doesn’t change, the less money you have for other things. Food, utilities, kids’ clothes, or like actually putting money aside or investing it so you’ll have more for the future.

And, also again, this simple economic principle is one that the overwhelming majority of Oregon’s elected Democrats can’t seem to grasp. If your taxes go up the less money you’ll have for normal economic activity. Paying for the things you need to and buying things you want.

Right now the only economic principle that Oregon’s Democrats seem to believe is that if you have money you are stealing it from the government. How dare you keep your own money?

Don’t believe me? We’ve said several times over the last few months that Oregon Democrats right now want to decouple Oregon’s tax code from the federal tax code. Previously it was just an idea — scheme, really — being talked about behind closed doors. Now they’re talking openly about it. Oregon Democrats want to block Oregonians from getting the tax cuts trump gave them in the one big beautiful bill. No tax on tips, no tax on overtime.

And how are Democrats trying to spin taking away more of your money by blocking Trump’s tax cuts? Speaker of the House, Democrat Julie Fahey said, they want to shield Oregon families from harmful federal policies.” And the democrat-friendly media is spinning it this way: quote, “The bill includes tax cuts that could mean more money in Oregonians’ pockets at the state’s expense.” There it is. Keeping your own money, that you earned, is at the state’s expense. That implies that money originates with the state. It belongs to the state.

Well this November Oregonians have a chance to send a giant goodbye to Democrats and remove that kind of thinking from Oregon.

Why Republicans Winning Oregon Elections Just Got More Likely

Release Date: January 24, 2026

Duration: 47:55

Host: Mark Anderson

Guests: Rep. Ed Diehl, candidate for Oregon governor, and Eric Lee, senior attorney on Judicial Watch’s election integrity team


About This Episode

Election integrity laws are about to change — for the good. The timing could not be better. Right when a Republican candidate with a proven ability to draw independents and Democrats decided to run for Oregon’s governor. And at a time Oregon Democrats are doing their best to sabotage their own chances by punishing Oregonian to cling to power. Even more, the federal lawsuits to restore trust in our elections haven’t even really gotten started.

Show Notes

  • 00:00 – Representative Ed Diehl announces his run for Oregon governor — what happened to change him from a no to a yes?
  • 09:18 – The highly successful No Gas Tax referendum drew support from all political parties. So how to convert support for that issue into support for him as a governor candidate for Oregon?
  • 16:31 – Oregon Democrats are committing political suicide more on how they are punishing Oregon businesses and the Oregonians who work at them.
  • 24:39 – Eric Lee, senior attorney on Judicial Watch’s election integrity team discusses last week’s SCOTUS ruling and how Bost v. Illinois was so huge for election integrity. Why the rules have now changed.
  • 31:45 – The avalanche of election integrity lawsuits about to come. Judicial Watch sued Oregon to clean up the voter rolls; Oregon surprised court watchers by suddenly announcing they would remove 800,000 inactive voters—about 20–25% of registered voters.
  • 39:09 – Did Oregon’s Secretary of State just blab a little too much and admit Oregon is at fault? That 800,00? That’s just the start. Discovery is underway right now. And did the Secretary of State also open the door to another Judicial Watch lawsuit by violating another federal law?

Transcript

(Opener) There’s a buzz phrase in government that you probably heard. Evidence based. And they use that buzz phrase because what they really want is for you not to question their policies.

Evidence based refers, allegedly, making government policy and spending decisions based on evidence — like data and research (which govt pays someone to do), and so-called “proven results” rather than on ideology, intuition, or anecdote.

Now just to easily disprove the notion of evidence based — when’s the last time democrats push through government policy that supported (or, more to the point, funded) any ideology on the right.

There is overwhelming evidence for conservative, pro-growth economic policies — like lowering taxes and cutting government spending is good for economies and good for people. Instead, Democrats want to raise taxes and increase government spending — the exact opposite of what the evidence shows.

Instead, it’s about things like climate change, which they plan to fix through carbon credits, which fund Democrats. Or Green energy (which isn’t green — and funds Democrats). Or funding the homeless-industrial complex of non-profits, which happen to be Democrats.

Well, the real evidence is in. And it’s fraud and its government incompetence. And we’d planned to talk an awful lot about fraud on today’s show and then, well… the best-laid plans of mice and men, or politicians and radio hosts, sometimes go awry.

Because the last time we talked to representative Ed Diehl back in December, we wanted to get him on our calendar to continue our discussion about fraud, and to get some insights into legislative days at the capital, and what devious schemes those Democrats are up to now. So we threw around some dates and settled on today—we’re talking Wednesday afternoon, January 21st—and we were all set to continue that discussion but then a little something came up.

And I don’t know how we don’t start off with this huge news, even though this show won’t air until the weekend after the big reveal. So, Ed welcome back, and for those who don’t already know by now go ahead and tell ‘em.

Show 16-04 Summary:  This week, it’s Oregon’s all important 2026 elections — and why things will change. We start with Representative Ed Diehl (HD17) to talk about his decision to run for Oregon’s governor. Can he win? Find out why we certainly think he will not only win the primary, he will win the general. But can he really win in a state known for its lack of election integrity? Including having what Judicial Watch called “the dirtiest voter rolls in the nation.” We talk with Judicial Watch’s senior attorney, Eric Lee, about their lawsuit — and why last week’s SCOTUS ruling opens the door to fundamentally changing elections. Including right here in Oregon.

This Week – Republicans Winning Oregon’s Elections

When we last talked to Ed Diehl at the end of December, we scheduled this week to continue our discussion on fraud in Oregon (hold our beer, Minnesota) and legislative days in Salem. But the night before our interview on Wednesday, news broke he was going to run for Oregon governor.

How do we not talk about that? We have been urging Ed to run for governor for at least a couple of years. We talk about his race, what changed his mind, and his competition—both Republican and Democrat. Plus, we do get a chance to talk about fraud, including what he will do about it as governor.

Plus, we talk about that all-important No Gas tax petition drive that will not only help Ed Diehl win Oregon’s 2026 governor’s race, but help sink Democrats. Democrats might not lose their majorities in the house or senate—although they just might find themselves in the minority after November—hey will definitely lose their super majorities in both chambers.

Want to find out more about Ed Diehl, candidate for Oregon governor? Head to Ed’s website. Remember: deep pocket donors wait to see how many smaller donors are sending in money. They need to see that interest. It’s their way of judging a candidate’s chances before committing bigger money.

Then we welcome back Eric Lee, senior attorney on Judicial Watch’s election integrity team, to discuss their lawsuit against Oregon to force them to clean up their voter rolls. And there was a major admission on Oregon’s part about its dirty rolls just last week. Whoops.

But before we get there, we get Eric’s take on last week’s SCOTUS ruling in Bost v. Illinois Board of Elections. On the surface, it was about whether a candidate had standing. But dig a little (which the leftstream media did its best not to do) and it is much. much bigger. How much bigger? Enough that it could fundamentally change elections. And people might just trust them again.

Is This Simple SCOTUS Ruling the Gateway to Election Integrity?

Published on January 17, 2026

Duration: 47:55


About This Episode

What if one quiet ‘procedural’ SCOTUS decision just cracked open the door to fixing America’s elections? Dr. Jerome Corsi, a noted expert on election integrity, reveals the hidden power of this largely unnoticed Supreme Court ruling. On the surface, the case sounded entirely procedural— whether a candidate had standing or not to bring a lawsuit challenging the endless counting of ballots after Election Day. But find out why this ruling may just have started a giant avalanche of election integrity lawsuits and sends the message that SCOTUS wants people to be able to trust our elections again.

Show Notes

  • 00:00 – Overview of SCOTUS ruling in Bost v. Illinois State Board of Elections overview and why it’s clearly not “just” standing
  • 08:50 – The game-changing aspects of this SCOTUS ruling to restore confidence in our elections. Does Chief Justice Roberts know 2020 elections were stolen? Warning shot how SOCTUS likely to rule on the never-ending counting of ballots after election day?
  • 17:13 – Ongoing implications of this ruling — just at a time when Trump’s DOJ suing states over voter rolls and other election integrity issues. How the roll out exposing Minnesota fraud is being mirrored to  expose election fraud.
  • 25:26 – Venezuela’s Maduro and what he knows about election fraud here. Minnesota fraud. Why Democrats wanted illegals flooding our border. (It wasn’t just to get votes.)
  • 34:21 – Tina Peter tried to expose election fraud. She was jailed. A three-judge panel just roasted the prosecutors in that case along with the original judge and his sentencing. Corsi is good friends with one of her attorneys, Peter Ticktin.
  • 40:04 – Opening the floodgates of more election clerks coming forward with what they know? Democrats and their fraud-industrial complex. Ruling impact on lower courts. How to now challenge elections and restore integrity. What about Trump’s truckloads of evidence of 2020 election fraud?

Transcript

(Opener only) The law can be a weird thing. And one of the weirder things is the issue of standing. Basically, whether you can show the court that you suffered a unique, particular harm.

Now, when it comes to things like election integrity You might think that everyday voters could bring such a lawsuit. Especially when such a lawsuit could restore trust in the election by forcing the state to do things like demand voter ID, or cleaning up voter rolls so people don’t vote illegally.

Sadly, in a nutshell, crooked elections don’t harm people uniquely. They harm all of us. Voters bear the brunt of the outcomes of elections.

If someone is willing to cheat to get elected — they will make bad laws and decisions. They don’t cheat to get elected and then suddenly find morality after they win. No they will create the means and opportunity for things like all of that fraud being uncovered in Minnesota and elsewhere.

This week, in a case that went mostly unnoticed, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that a candidate has standing in an election integrity case.

And while that may not sound like a big deal, what’s fascinating about this case is below the surface — the underlying reasoning and arguments why they have standing, and why you may not realize it but we just took a yuge step forward to restore trust in elections.

I’d like to welcome back Dr. Jerome Corsi, he is the author of about 30 books, six of those ended up on the New York Times best-seller list and two of those hit number one. He is the founder and CEO of Corsi Nation dot com and  you should also definitely visit his other site, God’s Five Stones dot com. Doctor Corsi, it’s great to talk to you again…

By | | Comments 1 comment

Show 16-03 Summary:  This week we take a deeper look at the Supreme Court ruling that may just have started the snowball rolling to restore election integrity. On the surface the case sounded entirely procedural— whether a candidate had standing to bring a lawsuit to stop endless counting of ballots after Election Day. But what this really did was send the message that we need to be able to trust our elections again. And that means being able to trust the people that get elected and how they got elected.

Air Dates: January 17th & 18th, 2026 | Guest: NY Times #1 best-selling author, Dr. Jerome Corsi

So far, it seems not too many in the “mainstream media” have wanted to report on it. Not in any real depth anyway. And not on the election integrity aspects of the ruling. And definitely no excitement about it. Maybe they hope it all goes away?

One of the more shocking aspects of the ruling is Chief Justice John Roberts authored the majority opinion. What happened for Roberts to see the light? Don’t miss out on Dr. Corsi’s explanation of why. That plus explanations why this ruling specifically targets trust and not just standing, Tina Peters, the Democrats’ fraud-industrial complex, and what Trump will be doing next to expose election fraud. Including and especially the 2020 election.
