mike broomhead is a conservative and the host of the mike broomhead show on ktar radio, big in arizonaought the count would fix it. it made it worse. he is getting his ass kicked by his own people. over his shoulder is his brother who died serving our country in iraq. that's why the picture is there. mike, once again, thank you for being with us. 74,000, brother. the they are filling up your airwaves. 74,000. explain that, broomhead. stop giving these lefties currency. own the truth, brother. >> yeah, you hit the nail on the head. the count was about people that voted early. that's where that discrepancy came in. there are a lot of things that have been fairly easily explained and people are not listening to the explanation. that has been the problem. when you throw out people and people give you a reasonable explanation, you have to take the explanation. if you don't, then i think you are part of the problem. >> i don't trust you, boom, because you have been bought off. somebody will give me some notion about it. you changed. it the cyber ninja, he is a good american and he was concer

mike broomhead, host of the mike br broomhead show on ktr radio. it's good to have you, brother.ime. >> thanks for having me. >> just quickly take us through why you liked it and why you don't like it now? >> the democrats thought something that happened and the election was stolen, so both sides of the aisle had at one time or the other not had faith in the election system. state of arizona said we're going to do an audit of our elections here. i thought if we could put a state stamp of approval on it one or the other let's get answers. so i didn't have an issue to begin with. but it was everything that happened after that started to get me to not like how it ended up. >> and where do you think it is now? >> i think it's too one-sided. you know, the example i used earlier today was from a republican point of view i thought it was one-sided what adam schiff and jerry nadler were doing with the investigations. i thought it was a partisan investigation. when you hire a company who said before the audit they believed the election was stolen, when the head of the cyber ninjas is goin

. >> but what do you -- >> mike broomhead. >> yeah. what do you think the chances are that we're actually going to get something out of this select committee? especially, with the, you know, three of the people on there have -- having vote -- voted to overturn the election. >> here's what i think. here's what i think. one, i think it's very indicative how many conservatives want to stay away from it. they don't want to opine. now, look. arnold doesn't get into a lot of partisan things very often. he kind of went at it with trump a little bit. was not a pleasant experience for him so he didn't want to talk about it. broomhead will talk about it more. they don't want to about it. they want to stay away from it. the democrats own this dereliction of duty. this was a mistake. you try today make it a bipartisan committee. >> oh, i thought -- sorry, i was getting my -- sorry, go on. >> okay. you tried to make it a bipartisan committee. they didn't want to do it. they turned away everything that the republicans said they wanted. you gave them
