MICHAEL SAVAGE: President Trump, this is a really big one. This voter fraud thing. The Dems like Governor Newsom are pushing for all mail-in ballots. He was stopped, temporarily, by a federal judge -- actually by a judge in Northern California. We're terrified of the illegal aliens voting. The Democrats voting four, five times. Is there anything that your administration is doing to prevent voter fraud? 

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Well, we're suing and we're filing another the big lawsuit I think on Friday. And I think we have a good case. Newsom announced that he's sending out millions and millions of mail-in, what's called mail-in ballots. And, you know -- you say, who're they sending these to? And maybe who aren't? Let's say you take a Republican district, and maybe those ballots don't get sent there, okay? This is the craziest thing. This is -- this will be a rigged election if they're allowed to do it.  We're fighting like crazy. If you take a look -- you know we've won the last four elections. We won in Wisconsin, we won in North Carolina, we won two, you know that? Big. We won a very big one in California, first time in 22 years. But we're fighting mail-in ballots. And in those cases they had a lot of mail-in ballots, which is incredible. But the chance of theft, where they steal them, they hold up mailmen, they take them out of mailboxes, they print them fraudulently.
