Discussing alleged ‘fraudulent elections,’ podcast guest Tina Peters claimed President Trump asked her to send him information

“I told President Trump, I said, Mr. President, I said, we have the proof. We have the proof five years ago. We have the proof. … he said, ‘Get me the info.’ So there is hope.”

TINA PETERS (GUEST): We wouldn’t have had the open borders. We wouldn’t have these Congress people being selected. We wouldn’t have in Arapahoe County the property taxes being voted on to be raised, which didn’t happen, but it was passed. Abortion being made legal. All of it stems from the fraudulent elections. So what haunts me the most is that people are not standing outside of their local city council or their local commissioners saying, “Get rid of the machines.” That’s what haunts me the most. And I will continue to fight for that.

JOE OLTMANN (HOST): You had a conversation with President Trump. And in that conversation, you and I talked about the things that you’ve seen have progressed and have gotten better, but that after six years, we should be we should be in a different place than we are right now.
