Does Trump Have Any Recourse if 2020 Election Was Stolen?

Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee, it's America's favorite gun-toting, Bible-clanging, deplorable American.
Todd Stars. All right.

Dylan, I have senioritis. You know, we announced, what, three weeks ago, four weeks ago, getting ready to stop doing the Newsmax show. And I gotta tell you, I am looking forward to having my afternoons back. I didn't-

**Dylan** (1:05)
I bet you are.

**Todd Starnes** (1:06)
I didn't realize how long of a day that was.

**Dylan** (1:10)
I mean, you already wake up early as it is, and now you're going to bed late at night.

**Todd Starnes** (1:13)
My cardiologist is very happy with this news. He said, I needed to slow down just a smidge, just a smidge. So we're still going to be doing stuff with Newsmax, but yeah, we're, we're ramping up. I think it's what, another week. So I'm, you know, so anyway, it's, we've had a lot of fun with it, but I gotta tell you, I love the radio show. And honestly, Dylan, I will say that our video on the, the video that we do for the radio show is network quality.

**Dylan** (1:45)
I'd say so. Props to Ian the Intern.

**Todd Starnes** (1:47)
Yes. Doing a great job. Excellent job. So anyway, it's going to be, all that to say, it's going to be nice to get out and you know, three o'clock Eastern, you got the rest of the day ahead of you. So it's going to be sort of nice. Again, 901-260-5926, our telephone number, that's 901-260-5926.
A lot of stories, you know, President Trump addressing the nation tonight. This is going to be a long day for the reporter crowd. A long day. And the president, nine o'clock Eastern time, will be addressing the nation. And we're getting some drips and drabs of what that might be. We understand that the president is probably going to be saying something about proof they have that a foreign country, more than likely China, meddled in the 2020 presidential election. Now, I just have a question for you all. Do you think that are you are you still? Is this still a big issue for you? Are you still when it comes to when it comes to what happened in 2020? Is that still an issue that matters to you? And the reason why I ask that is because no matter what the president says tonight, the reality is there's really not much that can be done to change what has happened since that since that election. And I'm going to go through that with you because again, I know there are some, you know, there, there are some people out there in the, in podcastistan and they're trying to tell you that, well, we're going to be able to undo the election results. We'll be able to reinstate president Trump retroactively. All of the policies and things that were passed or all of the things that were advanced by the Biden administration would be undone. And that is, it's just not true. So I'm going to break down exactly what is, what could happen if the president is able to come out and say, beyond a shadow of a doubt, we have proof that the Chinese meddled in the election. Now, CBS News says the president is expected to discuss other issues as well as the Chinese meddling. One of the allegations is that Beijing actually compromised voter data. And there's also evidence that CIA knew about all of this and did not share that information with the president during his first term in office. And we understand that a number of high-ranking administration officials will be a part of the president's address.
Of course, Caroline Leavitt is saying that, you know, this is all, these are all anonymous sources, speculating, and, you know, you gotta tune in to see what the president's gonna say.
Now, the president earlier this week disclosed a few details. The president has long insisted the 2020 election was stolen from him due to rampant fraud. And the question of Chinese involvement has been one of those mysterious questions. Again, this is from the CBS News reporting.
So anyway, what happens? Let's just say the president, he's got China dead to rights. We know beyond a shadow of a doubt that the Chinese actually did the dirty deed, that the Chinese fixed the elections, they rigged the elections for Joe Biden. So let's just assume that's all true. The question is, is there any recourse? What can Trump do about that? So first of all, you're not going to rerun the 2020 election. That's over and done with. Once Congress counted the electoral votes, once the term was served, the four-year term, it's over. There's no going back for a do-over. And there's also no mechanism within our founding documents, within the US. Constitution, that would allow President Trump to be retroactively installed. Can't do that. But here's what you can do. And this is where it'll get interesting. I mean, there could be criminal prosecutions. That's one possibility. And if there was voter fraud, forgery, conspiracy, and you've got the goods on these people, they can be arrested, they can be sent to prison for the rest of their lives. You can also sue, by the way. I mean, there could be individuals. And if you were harmed, maybe your business was harmed by illegal conduct and that illegal conduct being the Biden administration, then you could sue.
