00:00Lastly, sir, we have an executive order for your attention on the very important subject

00:05of election integrity.

00:07We believe that this executive order is the farthest-reaching executive action taken in

00:13the history of the Republic to secure our elections.

00:16Among numerous other aspects of this executive order, this is going to cut down on illegal

00:23immigrants on the voter rolls, ensure that the Department of Homeland Security and the

00:27data that they have available is being fully weaponized to ensure that illegal immigrants

00:31aren't voting.

00:32This will include a citizenship question on the federal voting form for the first time.

00:37This executive order instructs the EAC to cut federal funding to states that don't take

00:43reasonable steps to secure their election.

00:46This calls on the Department of Justice to vigorously prosecute election crimes, particularly

00:50in states that we don't believe are in compliance with federal law around election integrity.

00:56I could go on and on for a while, sir, but compliance with National Election Day rules,

01:02cracking down and investigating and prosecuting foreign interference in our elections, revoking

01:07President Biden's Executive Order 14019, which essentially weaponized government to corrupt

01:14and pollute our election process.

01:16There's a lot in here, but we believe that these are very important steps that we need

01:20to be taking as an administration at your direction to ensure that our elections are

01:24as secure as they possibly can be.

01:27Okay, you all understand that?

01:31Yes.

01:32Election fraud.

01:33You've heard the term.

01:34We'll end it, hopefully.

01:35At least this will go a long way toward ending it.

01:41There are other steps that we will be taking in the next, in the coming weeks, and we think

01:46we'll be able to end up getting fair elections.

01:51Perhaps some people think I shouldn't be complaining because we won in a landslide,

01:56but we've got to straighten out our election.

01:59This country is so sick because of the election, the fake elections and the bad elections.

02:03And we're going to straighten it out one way or the other.

02:13And it's an honor to sign this one, to sign all of them, but to sign this one is a great

02:18honor.
