This book, ghostwritten by Brent Bozell for Barry Goldwater, was mentioned to illustrate the conservative view against all monopolies, including monopolistic government.

I'm reminded of Barry Goldwater in his book Conscience of a Conservative ghost written by Brent Bozell who said, we conservatives we're not just against big monopolistic government. We're against monopolies in all of their forms because they're not as responsive and that kind of power can take away our rights as well.

The documentary presented claims about massive ballot harvesting during the 2020 election, utilizing cell phone geolocation data to track individuals visiting multiple drop boxes, though the speaker noted the film lacked proof of actual fraudulent ballots being cast.

"

The basic thesis of 2000 Mules, which is this new documentary from Dinesh D'Souza, it is rooted in research that was done by the group run by Catherine Engelbrecht called True the Vote.

Georgia, 250 mules averaging 24 drop box visits and five illegal ballots per drop. That's 30,000 illegally trafficked votes, far more than the 12,000 vote difference between Trump and Biden.

The claims are distinctive and again, it means rigging in a different way. It leads to the possibility of voter fraud, but it is not proof of actual voter fraud. It is proof of really, really bad and possibly fraudulent voter procedures.

I think that the conclusions of the film are not justified by the premises of the film itself. There are a bunch of dots that need to be connected.
