Hidden Algorithms Rigging Your Vote: What Dr. Paquette Found in 12+ State Voter Rolls

Glenn Wiggle welcomes back Dr. Andrew Paquette, an independent research analyst whose forensic analysis of public voter registration databases across more than a dozen states has produced seven peer-reviewed publications documenting hidden algorithms embedded in state voter rolls. Paquette walks through the critical distinction between voter fraud (isolated individuals casting illegal ballots) and election fraud (corruption built into the system itself), explaining how he's identified roughly 1.5 million current illegal "clone" records in New York alone, plus another half million deleted ones. He details a particularly damning find from the recent Texas Republican primary between John Cornyn and Ken Paxton, where an algorithm took a genuine check-in list of 735 voters and generated 4,110 fake records with assigned ID numbers. The conversation digs into why this matters more than the headline vote totals, the SEC's "threshold of materiality" standard that would never tolerate this level of corruption in the corporate world, why 23 states have refused federal requests for voter roll data, how Letitia James personally shut down a citizen audit in New York by threatening criminal charges, and why Paquette believes the real fix isn't litigating individual races but refusing to certify future elections until the infrastructure is repaired. Glenn and Andrew also get into why both parties seem uninterested in cleaning this up, the problem of unopposed judicial races in New York, and what El Salvador's judicial overhaul might teach us. 00:00:24 - Introducing Dr. Andrew Paquette and his voter roll research 00:03:38 - Voter fraud vs. election fraud, and why one gets investigated and the other doesn't 00:07:13 - The "threshold of materiality" and why courts use the wrong standard 00:14:00 - Federal requests for voter data and the 23 states refusing to comply 00:18:11 - The Texas Cornyn/Paxton primary algorithm that generated 4,110 fake records 00:22:26 - Why the Save Act stalls and the case that both parties benefit from the system 00:26:24 - The 2022 New York races, Hochul, Letitia James, and Zeldin 00:31:20 - Data validation, the simple fix nobody implements 00:38:03 - 2 million illegal records in New York and Tish James shutting down the citizens audit 00:46:11 - The El Salvador model, captured institutions, and unopposed judicial races

California Dreaming and New York Bleeding

Mike Lomas and Mike Hoeflich open with the expired statute of limitations on Dr. Anthony Fauci and the frustrating lack of GOP follow-through on accountability, before pivoting to a deep dive on California's collapse. They break down LA mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt's common-sense platform on homelessness, the NGO money pipeline fueling the crisis, and Magic Johnson's puzzling endorsement of Karen Bass. The guys also tear into Yorba Linda's biological-male athlete sweeping girls' track events, a CNN panelist dismissing Pratt's ideas as "not practical," and the cashless bail disaster in New York after a man accused of abusing a six-year-old was released and went on to shoot two cops. They cover IRS data showing 892 companies and $47 billion in income fleeing New York between 2020 and 2024, the Arcadia mayor caught working as a Chinese foreign agent, and the lawsuits piling up against Trump over the White House reflecting pool and ballroom. They close with Buffalo sports misery and the eternal hope that the Sabres and Bills might someday stumble into a championship. 00:40 — Fauci, the expired statute of limitations, and GOP inaction 03:31 — Redistricting, the midterms, and whether GOP control even matters 06:04 — California dreaming: Spencer Pratt, Karen Bass, and Magic Johnson 10:11 — How NGOs profit off the homelessness crisis 15:28 — Yorba Linda: biological male sweeps girls' track events 16:33 — NY cashless bail: child abuser released, shoots two cops 18:34 — CNN panelist calls common sense "not practical" 20:42 — Trump sued over the reflecting pool and ballroom 23:25 — IRS data: 892 companies and $47B flee New York 27:33 — Arcadia mayor admits to being a Chinese foreign agent

From Chemtrails to Fake Monopoly Lies

Glenn Wiggle and Mike Sperrazza run a rapid-fire session covering the looming statute of limitations on potential charges against Dr. Anthony Fauci over the Wuhan lab funding and COVID origins, and the lingering damage from six-foot distancing rules and ventilator protocols that were obvious failures in real time. They break down a viral clip of Philadelphia high schoolers unable to define words like "accommodate" or "silhouette," and the school's response of threatening the student who exposed it with expulsion rather than fixing the curriculum. From there they take on Randy Weingarten and the teachers union pushing pay and benefits while graduation rates collapse, May Day protests pulling grade schoolers into the streets, and the indoctrination problem with universal daycare proposals. Other targets include Eric Swalwell naming Jamie Raskin, Hakeem Jeffries, and Adam Schiff as fellow bad actors, Rashida Tlaib's call for Supreme Court term limits without touching Congress, a Washington Post contributor's list of rights supposedly lost in four years, EPA confirmation of cloud seeding and atmospheric spraying programs, and Albany's incoming mayor blaming a financial mess on the prior administration she served as chief auditor. They close on Elizabeth Warren and the Biden administration's blocked JetBlue-Spirit merger, arguing government intervention, not the free market, caused the layoffs and stranded routes now being absorbed anyway. 00:00 Intro and rapid-fire setup  00:36 Wuhan lab funding and the Fauci statute of limitations  07:11 COVID lockdowns, ventilators, and speaking up against the crowd  12:05 May Day protests, Randy Weingarten, and the teachers unions 1 8:00Philadelphia students can't read and the failing school system  27:00 Universal basic income, EBT abuse, and bureaucracy bloat  32:16 MAKA shirts, Fetterman threats, and "be kind" hypocrisy  34:31 Tlaib on term limits and Swalwell names names  36:39 Washington Post contributor's list of rights "lost in four years"  42:21 Chemtrails confirmed and EPA disclosures  51:57 Albany's new mayor blames the administration she audited  54:00 Spirit Killer Warren and the blocked JetBlue-Spirit merger  1:01:06 Keith Ellison, $38 trillion in debt, and Cinco de Mayo wrap-up

Trump Survives Again, Iran Pressure & Security Fails

Mike Hoeflich, Mike Lomas, and Russ Gaiser open with the latest assassination attempt targeting President Trump and members of his administration, calling out what they see as repeated, inexcusable failures in Secret Service security protocols. The conversation moves to the ongoing U.S./Iran standoff around the Strait of Hormuz, where the guys reflect on Trump's strategic approach to the region and what a lasting resolution could mean for the Middle East. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin gets a moment in the spotlight after a viral congressional exchange with purple-haired Rep. Rosa DeLauro over climate policy and the Clean Air Act, with the hosts breaking down Zeldin's composed response and their frustrations with climate alarmism more broadly. The back half of the show covers AI's growing role in financial advising, with Russ sharing takeaways from a recent conference and Mike Lomas drawing parallels between today's AI adoption curve and earlier technology waves he lived through. The episode wraps with Mike Lomas recapping his first NHRA national event, a conversation on winner's mindset, and Sabers playoff predictions ahead of Game 5.

Omar’s Fake Fortune & California’s Assault on Free Speech

Mike Sperrazza and Mike Hoeflich open the show riding high on the Buffalo Sabres' game one playoff win over the Boston Bruins, reflecting on what it means for a city that hasn't seen postseason hockey in 14 years and why sports can unite people in a way that politics never does. From there, the Mikes turn to California's AB 2624, a bill drafted by Attorney General Rob Bonta's wife that would criminalize journalists exposing fraud in immigrant-run programs, the same kind of fraud that investigator Nick Shirley had already exposed in Minnesota. The conversation shifts to Eric Swalwell suspending his California governor campaign amid sexual misconduct allegations, with the guys unloading on the hypocrisy of politicians who built careers attacking Trump's character while apparently living very differently behind closed doors. Ilhan Omar's claim that a reported $30 million jump in her net worth was just an "accounting error" gets the same treatment. The Mikes close out with a breakdown of Trump's maximum-pressure strategy against Iran, debating whether the back-and-forth approach ever forces a true resolution, what NATO allies owe the U.S., and why the midterms in six months make the end-game question more urgent than ever. Joy Behar's Easter-week theology lesson wraps things up.
