On last night's episode of The Ezra Levant Show, Ezra spoke with Joel Pollak, Senior Editor of Breitbart News, about the Trump-Harris debate and President Joe Biden's continual mental decline.

Joel told Ezra his prediction for the next 52 days before the election:

Well, voting starts already in a few days with some of the ballots already going out. So I don't think 53 days are as dramatic as they once were. We have an election season now, no longer an election day. Election day is really just a deadline and a kind of antiquated ritual, I suppose, for those of us who think that elections involve going somewhere to vote.

Now, we have this vote-by-mail system which is universally associated around the world with fraud or the potential for fraud. But somehow we have allowed it to become part of our system and we have absentee voting for just about any reason you can think of or no reason at all. So it's not as dramatic as it once was.

He explained why he thinks that the election is 'basically over' already:

I do think most people have made up their minds and the campaigns will be fighting over whoever is left, which is going to be a small number of people, and it may come down to a few votes. So these fights are important, but basically the election is done.

Ezra asked Joel about a book he wrote about the 2020 election, which he called neither free nor fair. Joel explained what he meant by that:

Right, because of all of the various ways in which Democrats tried to rig the election, and I stayed away from the term rigged because I think that the election results could have been legitimate. We don't know that they were necessarily different than they might have been, had all other things been equal. One of the phenomena, for example, that people who believe the election was stolen can't quite explain is that even though Trump lost at the top of the ticket, Republicans won in many congressional races.

Democrats had expected to pick up 12 seats and in fact, the Republicans won many seats. So voters seemed to have split their tickets. You wouldn't expect that it would be very easy to cheat in such a precise way. But I do think that the election was neither free nor fair. There was violence and there were threats of violence. There were rule changes imposed by the Democrats through the courts against the will of the Republicans. You know, if you're going to change the rules of the election, you have to do that together in a bipartisan way. Everyone's got to agree on the rules for a fair fight.
