=== Grassroots Movement for Mark Fincham (14:39) ===

[00:00:00]  Hey, everybody.
[00:00:00]  Happy Saturday.
[00:00:01]  My conversation and event with Kerry Lake, who is hopefully going to be the next governor of Arizona.
[00:00:06]  Vote, vote, vote.
[00:00:09]  You got to get out and vote.
[00:00:10]  You got to get your friends to do the same.
[00:00:11]  Get your circle, five people, ten people.
[00:00:13]  Get out to vote.
[00:00:13]  We need the biggest turnout ever in the history of a midterm election, and we can do it.
[00:00:19]  We need to show up in record numbers.
[00:00:21]  We need to overwhelm the system.
[00:00:22]  Get the word out.
[00:00:23]  Post about on social media.
[00:00:24]  Text your friends.
[00:00:25]  This is the hour that matters for our republic, everybody.

[00:00:37]  Buckle up, everybody.
[00:00:38]  Here we go.
[00:00:39]  Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
[00:00:41]  Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
[00:00:43]  I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
[00:00:47]  Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
[00:00:50]  I want to thank Charlie.
[00:00:51]  He's an incredible guy.
[00:00:52]  His spirit, his love of this country.
[00:00:54]  He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.
[00:00:59]  Turning point USA.
[00:01:00]  We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
[00:01:09]  That's why we are here.
[00:01:12]  I'll tell you what, when I first moved to Arizona, it was a little bit in the middle, kind of with some of the Democrats spending money from out of state, a lot of different things happening here.
[00:01:23]  And I got to tell you, you deserve a lot of credit.
[00:01:25]  The grassroots of Arizona deserves a lot of credit because obviously what happened in the 2020 election and all that nonsense and what happened in 2018 with, you know, let's just say some not good candidates running for office.
[00:01:39]  You guys decided to rise up in huge numbers and not give up.
[00:01:42]  And the grassroots, the conservative grassroots in Arizona, decided to get more involved than ever in the precincts, in the primaries.
[00:01:50]  And that is why you have the best roster of candidates on the ballot in a generation in Arizona because of you.
[00:01:59]  We have some of them here tonight.
[00:02:01]  I think Mark Fincham is here somewhere.
[00:02:02]  Is Mark Fincham here?
[00:02:04]  Someone said he was here.
[00:02:05]  By the way, I just want to say something.
[00:02:06]  We have to make sure Mark Fincham wins.
[00:02:09]  It is a mission-critical race.
[00:02:11]  It is something that doesn't get enough attention.
[00:02:13]  Is Mark here?
[00:02:14]  I saw him.
[00:02:14]  Someone said he's here.
[00:02:16]  He left.
[00:02:16]  Hopefully to another campaign event.
[00:02:19]  It is so important.
[00:02:20]  Fontes is the worst.
[00:02:22]  You'll be a terrible, terrible Secretary of State.
[00:02:25]  And we need Mark Fincham as Secretary of State.
[00:02:28]  We need to make sure we tell all of our friends to vote all the way through on the ballot.
[00:02:32]  It's very, very important.
[00:02:34]  How great is Abe, by the way?
[00:02:35]  Abe is terrific.
[00:02:39]  Abe will make a phenomenal Attorney General of this state.
[00:02:42]  You know, I knew Abe as soon as he said, I'm going to go after the Mexican drug cartels.
[00:02:47]  And you know, when he said that, I said, why hasn't the attorney general done that before?
[00:02:51]  We are being invaded by the Mexican drug cartels.
[00:02:54]  We have to seize their assets and stop the flow of fentanyl into our state.
[00:02:58]  And Abe Hamaday is going to do that on day one.
[00:03:00]  He's going to do such a great job.
[00:03:04]  And then, of course, the very important Senate race.
[00:03:08]  I'll tell you, this is how you know the media is getting nervous.
[00:03:11]  The media is getting paranoid.
[00:03:13]  The media is getting worried because they thought that Mark Kelly was a shoo-in.
[00:03:17]  And I tell you what, a man who deserves a tremendous amount of credit.
[00:03:22]  He has worked so hard.
[00:03:23]  He's been outspent, I think, like 50 to 1.
[00:03:26]  I mean, are you a little exhausted with the Mark Kelly ads?
[00:03:28]  I mean, it's one.
[00:03:30]  What a liar Mark Kelly is, by the way.
[00:03:32]  One after the other after the other.
[00:03:33]  By the way, I could say their ads for them, right?
[00:03:37]  Too extreme for Arizona.
[00:03:38]  Okay, we got it.
[00:03:39]  That poll tested.
[00:03:39]  By the way, it's not going to work.
[00:03:41]  I think Blake Masters is going to shock the world and beat Mark Kelly a week from tonight.
[00:03:50]  Blake has fought for every inch.
[00:03:52]  He's a great friend of mine.
[00:03:54]  He's a terrific person.
[00:03:55]  He loves the country.
[00:03:57]  He will go to Washington, D.C. to vote to secure the border.
[00:04:00]  Mark Kelly voted for 87,000 new IRS agents and not for anything on the border.
[00:04:06]  And, you know, Mark Kelly runs these ads.
[00:04:08]  You know how you know Mark Kelly is in trouble?
[00:04:10]  Because he pretends to be a Republican in his commercials.
[00:04:14]  He's like, oh, yeah, I'm for a border.
[00:04:16]  No, you're not.
[00:04:17]  Yeah, I'm an astronaut.
[00:04:19]  We know that, Mark.
[00:04:19]  What have you done as a senator?
[00:04:21]  Answer, never had the courage to face you.
[00:04:24]  Mark Kelly went to Washington, D.C., and he was a spokesperson for Chuck Schuman.
[00:04:28]  Mark Kelly is California and New York's third senator.
[00:04:32]  He has not represented the people of Arizona at all.
[00:04:34]  And you can see all the tracking poles are tightening.
[00:04:36]  Lake Masters is running a great race.
[00:04:38]  And you know what I think is going to be the sleeper issue?
[00:04:41]  Is the parents that are rising up in Arizona and that are saying, we're not going to take this anymore.
[00:04:49]  Hands off our children.
[00:04:51]  No more pornography in our classrooms.
[00:04:53]  You're not going to mandate vaccines.
[00:04:55]  It was wrong for you to close the schools.
[00:04:57]  Where was Mark Kelly during all of that?
[00:04:58]  He was parroting the narrative of the regime is what Mark Kelly was doing.
[00:05:03]  And then, of course, the top of the ticket.
[00:05:05]  I got to tell you, this has been one of the most amazing races for me to watch.
[00:05:09]  And it's really been amazing to see Carrie Lake barnstorm this state and all the conventional consultants say, you know, you can't do that, Carrie.
[00:05:17]  You can't do that.
[00:05:18]  And then she gets more popular.
[00:05:20]  And they say, you can't do that.
[00:05:21]  And she gets more popular.
[00:05:22]  You can't do that.
[00:05:23]  And she gets more popular.
[00:05:24]  You know, it reminds me of a certain somebody that, quite honestly, should still be president right now, quite honestly.
[00:05:30]  Am I right?
[00:05:32]  And I got to tell you, she loves this state.
[00:05:37]  She cares for all of you.
[00:05:39]  You think about somebody who turned away a convenient lifestyle being in the news after 30 years to call out the fake news media, by the way, to go run and to tell us the truth about that and be outspent at every single corner at every turn.
[00:05:53]  And really, it's been this amazing coalition of people that have been building behind this awesome Republican ticket.
[00:05:59]  Obviously, Carrie Lake being at the top of it.
[00:06:02]  It's parents.
[00:06:03]  It's people that are being crushed by inflation.
[00:06:05]  It is people that can no longer afford gas and groceries.
[00:06:08]  It's people that are seeing what's happening on our southern border, which is nothing short of an invasion.
[00:06:12]  It is people that are worried about what's happening with our schools.
[00:06:15]  It is people of faith that will never forget when they shut down churches and they called churches non-essential.
[00:06:21]  We're never going to let that happen again.
[00:06:23]  This coalition is broad.
[00:06:26]  It's getting deeper.
[00:06:27]  And what's amazing is despite all the media attacks, it seems to be strengthening.
[00:06:33]  And I got to tell you, the eyes of the nation are here in Arizona.
[00:06:36]  I travel the country.
[00:06:37]  We do a lot of campus events.
[00:06:39]  I visit college campuses, so you don't have to.
[00:06:41]  And when I visit these events, people come up to me.
[00:06:44]  They say, Charlie, what's going on in Arizona?
[00:06:46]  I said, we're here in North Carolina.
[00:06:47]  They said, no, no, all I care about is Arizona.
[00:06:50]  The eyes of the country are here.
[00:06:52]  And by the way, the Democrats, they were a little ahead of the curve, spending outside money, trying to turn this state blue, trying to register, vote, do all these different things.
[00:07:00]  And I think a lot of us took Arizona for granted.
[00:07:03]  I think a lot of us thought, oh, it's a comfortable Republican state.
[00:07:06]  And all of a sudden, I think a lot of us in 2020, in 2018, we were really kind of jolted awake.
[00:07:11]  And we realized this precious state that we love, the state of freedom, of rugged individualism, a family-friendly state, was being robbed by these people that don't love America, that don't share our values.
[00:07:23]  And it triggered this massive movement unexpectedly.
[00:07:26]  And the person who I think is just carrying the entire Republican ticket on her back is, of course, the person that we're going to talk to in just a second here.
[00:07:35]  But let me just say this about her, is that the media knows the significance of what Kerry Lake will mean as governor.
[00:07:42]  It means all of a sudden that the media can no longer just destroy you with the bad article.
[00:07:48]  For all of you that are slandered and that are slurred and that are defamed, Carrie Lake stands in the chasm and she says, you're not going to be able to do that to 75 million Americans anymore.
[00:08:01]  Carrie Lake punches back twice as hard.
[00:08:03]  Now, Carrie Lake does have an advantage.
[00:08:05]  She is running against the single worst candidate in the history of American politics.
[00:08:10]  Oh, there's Andy Biggs.
[00:08:11]  By the way, Andy, stand up.
[00:08:13]  We got to make sure Andy Biggs wins.
[00:08:14]  He is a great American.
[00:08:16]  He does a great job.
[00:08:19]  Andy's running against a total phony.
[00:08:21]  Let me tell you what.
[00:08:22]  Love you, Andy.
[00:08:22]  You're a great fighter in D.C. Sorry I didn't see you earlier.
[00:08:26]  But I got to tell you, Katie Hobbs, worst candidate I've ever seen.
[00:08:31]  And it's really interesting.
[00:08:32]  You could just kind of imagine their internal Democrat strategy sessions where they say, you know, that Carrie Lake, she's good at talking, which I know is new for the Democrats because it seems like a lot of their candidates are not very good at talking lately.
[00:08:46]  And so they say, wow, she's really good at this TV thing.
[00:08:49]  You know, she's really smart and she's really talented.
[00:08:51]  And they would say, what if we just decide not to debate?
[00:08:54]  You know, the media will cover for us, as they always do.
[00:08:57]  And I really believe that that was actually the inflection point.
[00:09:00]  Now, nothing is over till it's over.
[00:09:01]  We'll talk about that.
[00:09:02]  We're not here to celebrate too early because you better believe we're going to run through that finish line.
[00:09:06]  But I got to tell you that the momentum is on our side.
[00:09:09]  Independents are breaking in Kerry's direction.
[00:09:12]  They're breaking in Blake's direction because Arizona still has that spirit of, are you really too chicken to show up for an hour debate?
[00:09:20]  And you want to be governor of Arizona?
[00:09:22]  We're being invaded by cartels.
[00:09:24]  We're also being taken over by some weird Californians.
[00:09:27]  And you want to be governor and you can't talk for an hour?
[00:09:31]  I think that it backfired.
[00:09:32]  Even independents saw that and they said, you know what?
[00:09:35]  I'm not going to choose a candidate based on pre-rehearsed television advertisements.
[00:09:39]  And that's a good thing, by the way.
[00:09:41]  That means people are starting to break free of the simulation.
[00:09:44]  They're starting to break free of everything they see on TV.
[00:09:46]  And they say, you know what?
[00:09:46]  Maybe I'm actually thinking more ways than one.
[00:09:50]  I actually kind of like this person.
[00:09:51]  And so, look, I got to tell you this.
[00:09:53]  And this is the final call to action.
[00:09:54]  And we'll welcome the next governor of Arizona in just a second, which is this.
[00:09:58]  This race is not over.
[00:10:00]  The vibe is going in the right direction.
[00:10:02]  The trend is our friend.
[00:10:04]  Independents are breaking our way.
[00:10:05]  Our candidates are on message.
[00:10:07]  The media is increasingly nervous, but this is not over.
[00:10:10]  So I want to paint a picture for you.
[00:10:11]  There's about a thousand people here tonight.
[00:10:13]  The media will say there's about 10, but there's about 1,000 people here tonight.
[00:10:17]  If every single person took it as a personal challenge, do the very minimum and get 10 low-propensity voters out to the polls, we can multiply this event tonight.
[00:10:27]  If every single person did 30 voters, we could multiply this to cover multiple precincts.
[00:10:32]  You might say, oh, Charlie, my vote does not matter.
[00:10:35]  Marionette Miller-Meeks, Republican in a district in Iowa, won by six votes last year.
[00:10:41]  Are we going to all of a sudden not sprint to the finish line?
[00:10:44]  No, we got to knock on doors.
[00:10:45]  We also have to vote securely.
[00:10:48]  Look, if you voted by mail, God bless you.
[00:10:50]  You trust it a lot more than I do.
[00:10:51]  If you voted in person and early, God bless you.
[00:10:55]  I'm not going to slur anybody in any way or say you made the bad decision.
[00:10:58]  But also, understand, on election day, I think we're going to see lines like we've never seen before.
[00:11:04]  And so, by the way, I plan to vote on Election Day.
[00:11:06]  I know a lot of you do as well.
[00:11:08]  And we got to overwhelm the system.
[00:11:11]  We do.
[00:11:12]  And by the way, here's a call to action.
[00:11:15]  Find one cynic in your life.
[00:11:16]  Find one person that says, oh, come on, the election system is broken.
[00:11:20]  And look them in the eyes and say, no, we're going to overwhelm it.
[00:11:23]  We're going to show up in person.
[00:11:25]  We are going to show.
[00:11:26]  The numbers will be so immense that they will not be able to do what they usually do, the kind of nonsense shenanigans.
[00:11:33]  And I just, it drives me nuts.
[00:11:34]  They say, oh, yeah, you know, it's going to take us five days to count the ballots.
[00:11:37]  Like, oh, my goodness.
[00:11:38]  It just drives me nuts.
[00:11:39]  Okay, that's for a, once Terry wins, we got to do something about that, let me tell you, because it's a disgrace to all of our combined intelligence to wait five days to have to count ballots.
[00:11:48]  But let me tell you this: do not be a spectator.
[00:11:52]  I know a lot of you here tonight have said, Charlie, I've done everything that has been asked of me.
[00:11:56]  I watched Tucker Carlson.
[00:11:58]  I bought the pillow.
[00:12:00]  I've done everything that has been asked of me.
[00:12:03]  By the way, promo code Kirk at mypillow.com.
[00:12:05]  Just so we're, by the way, how great is Mike Lindell?
[00:12:07]  Do we support Mike Lindell?
[00:12:11]  He's a great American.
[00:12:12]  No, what matters these next seven days is not how much you sleep.
[00:12:17]  It's not how enjoyable, yes, voting is the minimum, though, everybody, because you're here tonight because you care so much.
[00:12:24]  And so you've got to multiply your impact.
[00:12:26]  You got to convince a low-propensity voter.
[00:12:28]  And you might say, oh, come on, I've already done that.
[00:12:30]  Then find five more people, knock on 10 more doors.
[00:12:33]  This is a grassroots movement.
[00:12:34]  They are outspending us.
[00:12:36]  They have the media.
[00:12:37]  They have all this.
[00:12:37]  But guess what?
[00:12:38]  I want to be able to tell my daughter, by the way, we just welcomed the beautiful daughter into the world.
[00:12:42]  We're very excited about that.
[00:12:44]  I want to be able to tell the daughter about, well, I can't say it on election night because I don't know what's going to happen election night, that the Saturday after the Saturday, after the Saturday of election night, that Kerry Lake was declared governor of Arizona, right?
[00:12:55]  That's what I want to be able to say.
[00:12:57]  Because what you are living through is an unprecedented once-in-a-generation citizen movement.
[00:13:04]  The eyes and the prayers of a nation are descending upon Arizona.
[00:13:10]  Californians, Illinois, Ohioans are praying that the people of Arizona will make that decision.
[00:13:17]  You live in the place that will determine the future of the republic.
[00:13:20]  How awesome is that, by the way, that what we get to do matters.
[00:13:25]  Every vote, every door, every person.
[00:13:27]  So the call to action is this.
[00:13:29]  People ask me all the time, Charlie, you hopeful.
[00:13:31]  We make hope happen.
[00:13:34]  The action of the next seven days will impact the trajectory of our beautiful nation.
[00:13:38]  Because I could tell you what, you want to see real change?
[00:13:41]  You get Blake Masters to beat Mark Kelly.
[00:13:43]  You get Mark Fincham as Secretary of State.
[00:13:46]  You get Abe Homeday as Attorney General.
[00:13:48]  And you shock the world into a way, the one that they really don't want to have happen.
[00:13:53]  And you put a female Winston Churchill in the governor's office of Arizona with leadership, courage, and charm.
[00:14:02]  And with that, join me in welcoming the next governor of the state of Arizona, Kerry Lake.
[00:14:12]  I keep thinking we're going to show up one of these days and it's going to be a crowd like Katie Hobs gets 10 people.
[00:14:18]  And then we show up and it's massive because the people are awake and they're ready to save this republic, right?
[00:14:27]  I had to come out to that song, Hit Me with the Best Shot, Hit Me With Your Best Shot, and that's for the fake news media.
[00:14:36]  Because I got to tell you this.

=== Media Attacks on Hiring Moms (07:45) ===

[00:14:39]  I don't even think I didn't even tell Charlie this.
[00:14:42]  We found out today they did some sort of study or research and they found out the fake news that 87% of GOP candidates are getting negative coverage from the fake news.
[00:14:56]  That's not shocking, right?
[00:14:58]  But guess which candidate is getting 100% negative coverage from the fake news?
[00:15:07]  100%.
[00:15:09]  And I will tell you, anybody who's being attacked by the propagandists is the person you want to vote for, right?
[00:15:18]  So pay very close attention to what they're saying.
[00:15:21]  I was actually shocked.
[00:15:23]  I thought it would be 95% negative, 100% negative from the fake news.
[00:15:28]  That makes me want to vote for her even more, let me tell you, 100% across the board.
[00:15:33]  What it should do is it should make you want to get out and vote like your life depends on it.
[00:15:38]  Because if they're coming after a mama bear who just wants to protect our babies, think about who else they'll come after.
[00:15:45]  They're coming after us.
[00:15:47]  And so we got to get out and vote on the 8th.
[00:15:50]  Or if you're going to vote before then, that's fine.
[00:15:52]  Get out and vote and take 10 friends.
[00:15:54]  Vote like your life depends on it because we're trying to protect these precious little babies.
[00:15:59]  We really are.
[00:16:00]  So how many of you are ready to vote on the 8th?
[00:16:02]  Raise your hand.
[00:16:03]  Look at that.
[00:16:06]  Look at that.
[00:16:08]  How many of you are going to vote between now and the 8th?
[00:16:12]  That's fine.
[00:16:13]  We've got to work within the system we're in right now, right?
[00:16:17]  We are.
[00:16:18]  Thank you so much.
[00:16:20]  I've got your six too.
[00:16:21]  Thank you.
[00:16:22]  So Charlie, I'm so excited you're here.
[00:16:24]  Yeah, and so Carrie, I want to add on to something.
[00:16:26]  Thank you, by the way.
[00:16:27]  We've been crisscrossing the country.
[00:16:29]  It's been a very long month this last week in every corner you can imagine.
[00:16:33]  But I had this circled on my calendar.
[00:16:35]  I want to make sure we did this.
[00:16:36]  And I just try to rally the troops and get people to understand that one of the reasons why the media covers are 100% negative is because she used to be part of them.
[00:16:45]  And if they are not able to control the people in the media to actually talk about how dishonest they are, all of a sudden people are going to realize the legitimate threat they are to the Republic.
[00:16:57]  And so Kerry, can you talk about just the grassroots energy you're seeing, the parents' party that is rising up in record numbers?
[00:17:04]  I've never seen anything quite like it.
[00:17:06]  I mean, you look around here.
[00:17:07]  This is a weeknight outdoor event, a week out from an election in a state candidate race.
[00:17:13]  I mean, Katie Hobbs, there was a picture.
[00:17:15]  I think half of them were staffers in the picture, and there were four people.
[00:17:19]  That's right.
[00:17:20]  And this is an area where a lot of you are moms and dads.
[00:17:22]  Raise your hand if you have kiddos.
[00:17:26]  Raise your hand if it's almost bedtime for you.
[00:17:29]  Okay, this is a sacrifice.
[00:17:32]  This is a sacrifice.
[00:17:33]  But we're about making sacrifices now for our country.
[00:17:37]  And I just was on Fox News tonight, and we were talking about some new polling that shows that elusive suburban mom.
[00:17:45]  You've heard of that group, right?
[00:17:47]  Guess who they're voting for?
[00:17:50]  Me and the Republicans.
[00:17:56]  And it's so funny, Charlie, we don't hire big DC consultants.
[00:18:02]  We didn't even hire big Phoenix consultants.
[00:18:05]  We hired me.
[00:18:07]  And I'm not making anything.
[00:18:09]  We just went to my instincts as a mama bear, as someone who's lived here 30 years.
[00:18:13]  I don't need a DC consultant to tell me that moms are nervous about what they're teaching our kids at school, right?
[00:18:23]  Moms and dads are worried about the rising crime.
[00:18:26]  We want to walk across the grocery store parking lot without looking over our shoulder.
[00:18:31]  We want our kids to ride their bikes on the streets without being in an utter panic.
[00:18:36]  And we don't want our precious babies and our young adults, our young children, to get their hands on fentanyl.
[00:18:43]  What we're watching, a whole generation being killed by this stuff.
[00:18:46]  So to me, it's pretty basic.
[00:18:49]  You don't need to be a consultant, a high-priced lobbyist, or a high-priced pollster to understand why moms are voting Republican.
[00:18:57]  They want common sense, right?
[00:19:00]  And they want a secure border.
[00:19:02]  It all starts with that border, guys.
[00:19:05]  As long as that border is wide open.
[00:19:06]  So Carrie, there are some polls that show there's still, believe it or not, 7 to 10% of undecided voters out there.
[00:19:13]  I mean, it's amazing.
[00:19:14]  So, but it's important that we equip this group, your most motivated base, with the best sales pitch going into this last weekend.
[00:19:20]  How many of you know a voter that hasn't made up their mind yet?
[00:19:23]  Does anyone know?
[00:19:24]  Okay, there's one hand.
[00:19:25]  That actually means you guys are doing your job.
[00:19:27]  That should be easy.
[00:19:27]  I know one.
[00:19:28]  Okay, but go find one.
[00:19:29]  That should be the answer.
[00:19:30]  What should the answer then be to undecided that are watching this that see the broadcast like, I don't know, I've seen all these negative ads.
[00:19:37]  What's the pitch of that independent the last seven days?
[00:19:39]  I really think the people who are undecided are, they probably know me.
[00:19:44]  They're starting to see they're probably former Democrats or somewhere in the middle, and they're saying, we don't want this divisiveness.
[00:19:52]  We need to explain where the divisiveness is coming from.
[00:19:54]  It really is coming from the media.
[00:19:57]  Because when you start to talk about the policies of what the Republicans are offering right now, it is about, I think, bringing this country together.
[00:20:06]  How many Democrat moms and dads want their kids to get their hands on fentanyl?
[00:20:10]  I can't think of one.
[00:20:12]  How many Democrats want a wide open border besides Katie Hopkins?
[00:20:17]  I can't think of one who really want a wide open border.
[00:20:20]  How many Democrats want their kids to be taught sex education in elementary school?
[00:20:28]  I think we are so much closer together than we are far apart.
[00:20:32]  Now, there's going to be those radicals on the left.
[00:20:35]  We need to remind our Democrat friends, and I know it's hard to think, you know, we've been so divided for so long, you think I can't even talk to them.
[00:20:42]  They're probably questioning their party right now.
[00:20:44]  They're looking at it going, wait a minute, my 401k, my savings has shriveled up by a third.
[00:20:52]  I can't afford groceries.
[00:20:53]  I can't afford gas.
[00:20:55]  Biden is, you know, he can't find the front door at the White House.
[00:21:00]  Our country is going to hell in a handbasket.
[00:21:02]  They might be ready to have a discussion.
[00:21:04]  And if you talk about the issues that matter, inflation, who wants to help with inflation, I want to get rid of the grocery tax and the rent tax.
[00:21:12]  Those are two really.
[00:21:15]  So tell them about that.
[00:21:17]  I want to make sure that our kids, when they're in high school, they have a dual-track education.
[00:21:22]  After 10th grade, they decide if they want to take that college route and that's great.
[00:21:26]  Go for it.
[00:21:27]  Or after 10th grade, we get them skills training, trade skill training, vocational training, or career certification.
[00:21:35]  Get them ready for the jobs that are out there.
[00:21:38]  And we want to fully fund our police.
[00:21:41]  We want to be, yes, there we go.
[00:21:45]  Give it up for our police tonight, by the way.
[00:21:46]  They do such a great job.
[00:21:53]  Absolutely.
[00:21:54]  Our men and women in law enforcement, my God, do we need them?
[00:22:00]  And I want, Charlie, that every law enforcement officer in the country, if they're in a Chicago or they're in a Seattle or Portland or a Blue State, I want them to know if they're unhappy, if they're feeling like they're demoralized, they can come here to Arizona.
[00:22:19]  We want to hire them.
[00:22:20]  We want to bring them on board because we want every department fully staffed.
[00:22:23]  So we're going to work on that.

=== Refusing Mandatory Vaccine Shots (03:46) ===

[00:22:25]  So Carrie, one of the things that you were very clear about that your opponent was unable to answer, which is nothing new for her, is that you will never mandate the COVID vaccine for children.
[00:22:39]  Never.
[00:22:44]  Your opponent.
[00:22:46]  Absolutely.
[00:22:46]  Never.
[00:22:47]  Unless your opponent clarified herself, I don't think she did.
[00:22:50]  She said, and she didn't really know what to answer.
[00:22:55]  And the reporter actually did a good job, believe it or not, saying, well, what do you mean you don't know?
[00:23:00]  Carrie, your thoughts.
[00:23:01]  Well, let me tell you, the first I heard that they were thinking of putting that on the mandated shots.
[00:23:05]  I don't even call it a vaccine because it's experimental.
[00:23:08]  It's experimental.
[00:23:10]  And it's causing more health problems for our young people.
[00:23:14]  First of all, the COVID shot, everybody I know who's had COVID has had the shot.
[00:23:19]  Now, I'm not a scientist, but everybody I know who's had a bad case of COVID has had the shot.
[00:23:24]  I'm just saying that.
[00:23:26]  Our children are healthy.
[00:23:27]  They've got great immune systems.
[00:23:29]  You don't need to.
[00:23:30]  If you want to get that for your child, that's fine.
[00:23:32]  But we are not going to force that.
[00:23:33]  When I first heard about that, I said, hell no, we're not going to do that.
[00:23:38]  They're not guinea pigs.
[00:23:39]  Let me talk about that.
[00:23:41]  Children are not lab rats.
[00:23:42]  I want to add something.
[00:23:43]  Carrie Lake was the first person running for statewide office in the country to say it.
[00:23:48]  And every other Republican followed suit because she had the courage to lead by example.
[00:23:53]  I hope you understand how important that is.
[00:23:57]  Thank you.
[00:23:58]  Thank you, Charlie.
[00:24:05]  Thank you so much.
[00:24:07]  Well, I'm going to be a little selfish.
[00:24:10]  I got kids of my own.
[00:24:12]  I don't think they need this shot.
[00:24:13]  And I certainly, as sure as hell, don't want Fauci telling me what to put in my kid's arm.
[00:24:18]  Okay?
[00:24:19]  I actually want that guy fired, okay?
[00:24:22]  And maybe locked up.
[00:24:27]  So, but I'm going to take it a step further.
[00:24:31]  I don't want you to be forced to get that shot against your will.
[00:24:35]  Is that okay?
[00:24:37]  I don't think any of us should be forced to get an experimental shot against our will in order to go and do a job and put food on the table for our families.
[00:24:46]  It's wrong.
[00:24:47]  And it doesn't take, you know, it doesn't take that much courage to stand out and speak up for our kids, or it shouldn't at least.
[00:24:54]  So we've got to protect our children.
[00:24:56]  That is one thing that is for sure.
[00:24:57]  And I will do that every single time.
[00:24:59]  We're not going to force this on our children to get an education.
[00:25:02]  Amen.
[00:25:03]  And for every firefighter or police officer across the country, I bet you can go find employment in the great state of Arizona if you got fired because you refused to take the vaccine.
[00:25:12]  I have to tell you, when I first got into this, I had somebody who was, he wasn't hired, but he was a political guy giving me advice.
[00:25:18]  He said, first of all, back away from President Trump.
[00:25:22]  I said, no.
[00:25:24]  He said, don't talk about COVID.
[00:25:27]  Don't talk about vaccines.
[00:25:29]  And I just finally said, okay, buddy, move along.
[00:25:33]  Because this is what's on our hearts and our minds, and people are risking losing their jobs over a shot.
[00:25:39]  I was the first candidate.
[00:25:40]  I remember it vividly.
[00:25:42]  It was hot as heck.
[00:25:42]  It was the middle of July.
[00:25:44]  And the medical professionals who'd been through so much with COVID were finally now being told by their bosses, get the shot or get out.
[00:25:53]  And I remember rallying with them at the state capitol.
[00:25:56]  And then a few weeks later, I was rallying with the folks who were working at the airlines.
[00:26:00]  They were being forced to get the shot or get out.
[00:26:02]  I rallied with them.
[00:26:04]  I rallied with our first responders who'd already been exposed to all of this.
[00:26:09]  None of these other candidates were anywhere near that.

=== Exposing Convicted Racist Record (06:09) ===

[00:26:12]  And I stood there because I knew what was right.
[00:26:14]  And we're at a moment in history where we've got to start standing up for what is right, right?
[00:26:21]  What's right and what's wrong.
[00:26:23]  It's pretty clear right now.
[00:26:24]  So we need somebody who's courageous enough to do that.
[00:26:27]  Katie Hobbs was asked about it.
[00:26:29]  I disagree with you, Charlie.
[00:26:30]  I don't think the media was being hard on her.
[00:26:34]  I think they recognized when they said, do you want to, would you force children to get this shot?
[00:26:38]  And her answer was, uh.
[00:26:40]  And they realized, uh-oh, we need to go in and save her.
[00:26:43]  So they threw another question at her.
[00:26:45]  And her answer was, uh-uh, well, I haven't thought about it.
[00:26:50]  You're a mother and you haven't thought about that?
[00:26:53]  What's wrong with you?
[00:26:54]  What's wrong with her is she has no business being governor of the state of Arizona.
[00:26:58]  That's what's wrong with her.
[00:27:00]  So, Carrie, it's important that we repeat the record of Katie Hobbs.
[00:27:05]  The media has not covered it.
[00:27:07]  She's a convicted racist.
[00:27:09]  Twice convicted.
[00:27:11]  She has also, she's overseeing her own election, which if the media had any integrity, they would demand that she recuse herself from administering her own election.
[00:27:23]  And they say, oh, Republicans are a threat to democracy.
[00:27:27]  How about being the Secretary of State of your own election?
[00:27:30]  And by the way, there's ballots being sent out that were not correct.
[00:27:34]  There were 6,000 ballots or something.
[00:27:37]  You know, those ballots, Charlie, were federal ballots.
[00:27:40]  So that means, and they were sent to people who wanted to vote for governor.
[00:27:45]  But guess who wasn't on that ballot?
[00:27:47]  Me.
[00:27:49]  We weren't on it.
[00:27:50]  It was a federal-only ballot.
[00:27:51]  So 6,000 people got a ballot that didn't have my name on it, and my opponent sent those ballots out.
[00:27:58]  I don't know.
[00:27:59]  That seems like a problem.
[00:28:00]  Anybody else agree with that?
[00:28:03]  But you know what the media said?
[00:28:05]  Well, she apologized for it.
[00:28:08]  They always let these guys off the hook.
[00:28:11]  And they want to talk about, they keep talking about the debate.
[00:28:14]  Listen, she didn't do the debate.
[00:28:16]  We know she's a coward.
[00:28:17]  Let's start asking her about her record.
[00:28:20]  Ask her about being a twice convicted racist that's costing the state of Arizona $3 million in a settlement because she paid a woman of color, a single black mother, $30,000 less than the men who did the exact same job.
[00:28:34]  Why don't they ask her about that?
[00:28:38]  Why?
[00:28:40]  They spend years, they spend years, the fake news, calling us racist.
[00:28:45]  Now I am running against a real, true racist, and they won't ask her about it.
[00:28:52]  It's really despicable.
[00:28:55]  Let me ask you this.
[00:28:56]  How many of you have completely tuned out the fake news?
[00:29:03]  Actually, turn around and show the wave your arms if you tune them out.
[00:29:07]  You don't even watch them anymore.
[00:29:10]  Wow.
[00:29:11]  That should tell you guys everything.
[00:29:14]  It's time to look, take a look in the mirror and start acting and behaving like true journalists.
[00:29:22]  We want the truth, and we want you to do a better job.
[00:29:26]  And when Carrie Lake becomes governor of Arizona, it is proof the media is no longer the gatekeeper of Arizona elections.
[00:29:35]  Right.
[00:29:37]  That's why they're doing everything they can to destroy you.
[00:29:40]  I think that what people are realizing is they don't have the power that they thought they had.
[00:29:45]  And that's why if you watch, I don't watch Morning Joe, but somebody sent me a clip.
[00:29:50]  And Mika, by the way, when I was a kid, every time an ambulance went by, my grandma would say, let's all say a prayer.
[00:29:58]  So let's say in our minds a little prayer.
[00:30:00]  I don't know what's going on, but there's ambulance going by, and that means somebody's in need.
[00:30:05]  So a quick prayer up to God.
[00:30:06]  Please make sure that you protect those tonight who are in harm's way.
[00:30:11]  Anyway, I just got used to doing that since I was a kid.
[00:30:14]  Here's the deal.
[00:30:15]  The media has lost their power.
[00:30:18]  And I think they're starting to realize that we get it.
[00:30:22]  We're not listening to them anymore.
[00:30:24]  If they shame us because we want to ask questions about our government, shame on them.
[00:30:29]  If they try to shame us for using our First Amendment rights to question problems in our election, shame on them.
[00:30:36]  We are not giving up that little shred of the First Amendment we have left for a bunch of propagandists.
[00:30:43]  So Carrie, I visit a lot of college campuses.
[00:30:47]  We have some amazing students as part of our movement.
[00:30:50]  What is your message to younger first-time voters, 18, 19, 20-year-olds?
[00:30:55]  They're getting crushed by inflation.
[00:30:56]  Rent has gone up dramatically.
[00:30:58]  It seems as if it is increasingly unaffordable to be able to live in Arizona.
[00:31:03]  What is your message to make the Arizona dream accessible to young people in particular?
[00:31:07]  I'm so glad you asked that because it's young people, and I know Turning Point deals with a lot of the young people, but it's also people who are getting near retirement, looking at the retirement savings, and it's gone away.
[00:31:17]  I mean, a third of it's gone.
[00:31:20]  It used to be affordable to live here, and it's becoming less and less affordable as we're watching double-digit increases in our inflation.
[00:31:26]  That's why immediately I want to get rid of the grocery tax and the gas tax.
[00:31:31]  And then we want to work on getting and lowering our sales tax.
[00:31:35]  That helps everybody across the board.
[00:31:37]  My opponent 13 times voted to raise taxes on Arizonas, including doubling the gas tax.
[00:31:45]  So we're going to do everything we can.
[00:31:46]  If we have a surplus, that means we should be giving back to the people who are paying taxes.
[00:31:51]  We want Arizona to be affordable for young people.
[00:31:56]  And Charlie, it breaks my heart because I remember back when I was a kid, I'm not a kid, I felt like a kid.
[00:32:02]  Looking back, I was a kid.
[00:32:03]  I was in my 20s.
[00:32:04]  I bought my first house.
[00:32:06]  I bought my first house in my 20s.
[00:32:08]  I talked to people who are in their 30s and they said, Carrie, we don't ever imagine a world that we can ever buy a house.
[00:32:16]  Think about that.
[00:32:17]  That's the American dream.
[00:32:19]  And they don't ever think they're going to live it.

=== Protecting the American Dream (05:08) ===

[00:32:21]  We've got to do something.
[00:32:23]  We took a wrong turn a long time ago.
[00:32:24]  We've got to get back on the right road to success, to the American dream for Arizonans.
[00:32:29]  Truly.
[00:32:30]  So, Carrie, in closing here, we're seven days out.
[00:32:35]  What does this audience need to do to get across the finish line?
[00:32:37]  And then also talk about, which you deserve credit for, Carrie.
[00:32:40]  I have never seen a candidate so generously give stage time and support to down ballot candidates.
[00:32:47]  I have never seen anything like it.
[00:32:49]  Carrie wants to see the entire ticket win.
[00:32:52]  It's not just about Carrie.
[00:32:53]  It's really special.
[00:32:54]  It really is.
[00:32:56]  So talk about those two things, Carrie, as we wrap up.
[00:32:59]  Thank you so much.
[00:33:00]  You know what it is?
[00:33:01]  I'm in this because I want Arizona to win.
[00:33:04]  And Arizona's not going to win with just me.
[00:33:06]  We're not going to win if it's just me who gets into office.
[00:33:09]  I got to have Mark Fincham.
[00:33:10]  I got to have Abe Homeday.
[00:33:12]  We've got to have Blake in the Senate, right?
[00:33:16]  We've got to have Tom Horn.
[00:33:18]  We've got to have a Republican overseeing our education.
[00:33:22]  This woman who's in charge is cuckoo.
[00:33:25]  She's cuckoo.
[00:33:26]  You know what's going on.
[00:33:27]  She's steering our kids over to websites that are possibly pushing them into the arms of groomers.
[00:33:34]  That's what the lady in charge of our education is doing.
[00:33:37]  It's a fact.
[00:33:38]  They won't cover it, but that's what she's doing.
[00:33:40]  We need to have Republicans up and down that ballot.
[00:33:44]  Truly.
[00:33:45]  So I'm not, you know, you can thank you for the compliment.
[00:33:48]  I'll take it.
[00:33:49]  But it's really about us.
[00:33:50]  I want to see Arizona succeed.
[00:33:52]  And that means we've got to have Republicans up and down the ballot.
[00:33:54]  And we've got to get out and vote like our lives depend on it.
[00:33:57]  And you know what else we have to do?
[00:33:59]  We have to tune in to people like Charlie.
[00:34:03]  And like my surprise guest tonight, I want you to meet and say a big Arizona welcome to one of my favorite guys in the world, one of the most patriotic men I know.
[00:34:13]  I call him a modern-day George Washington.
[00:34:15]  Come on out, Steve Bannon.
[00:34:20]  This is who the applause should be for, and for you.
[00:34:26]  Next Tuesday, next Tuesday, Arizona has a rendezvous with destiny.
[00:34:35]  Why do you think all the world's media is here?
[00:34:38]  From Japan, in England, in Germany, right?
[00:34:41]  The New York Times, the Washington Post, all of them.
[00:34:43]  Why do you think they're here?
[00:34:45]  It started here back in November of 2020.
[00:34:50]  It started right here.
[00:34:53]  And it's going to end right here.
[00:34:55]  That's right.
[00:35:00]  Divine providence works in mysterious ways.
[00:35:04]  Arizona has a rendezvous with destiny next Tuesday.
[00:35:11]  Carrie Lake wasn't in the government at that time.
[00:35:14]  She was a media and a TV anchor and a news person.
[00:35:17]  Abe Hammeday was a captain in the Army, right?
[00:35:21]  You had Blake Masters was a venture capitalist.
[00:35:25]  Eli Crane, others, they were either serving their country.
[00:35:27]  They weren't politicians.
[00:35:30]  They saw something that they need to come and set right.
[00:35:35]  They have dedicated their lives not just to, in their sacred honor, not just to Arizona, but to the entire country.
[00:35:42]  That's why they're all here.
[00:35:44]  This has never happened before in American history, ever.
[00:35:48]  Carrie Lake and her whole ticket come to this, and they don't owe anybody anything except the people.
[00:36:00]  She hasn't taken a penny from anybody.
[00:36:04]  She was outspent by, what, $30 million in the primary?
[00:36:07]  And look what Katie Hobbs and the opposition are putting on her and George Soros.
[00:36:12]  She's beholden to no one but the people.
[00:36:20]  That's why next Tuesday is so important.
[00:36:23]  And that's why we need everyone to turn out.
[00:36:28]  We need not just a victory, we need a statement victory.
[00:36:34]  You are sending a message not simply to Washington, D.C. or to Phoenix.
[00:36:40]  You're sending a message to the entire world.
[00:36:43]  What has to happen under a Kerry Lake administration, the entire world is going to watch, right?
[00:36:54]  Not just with voter integrity, not just with making sure this economy works for everyone, for everyone, not just for the wealthy and the privileged and the powerful.
[00:37:06]  And also the border and illegal immigration, but particularly the border and the invasion of this country.
[00:37:13]  That's what the Lake administration is going to stand for.
[00:37:16]  And that's the rendezvous with Destiny.
[00:37:18]  And that's why she needs an overwhelming statement win.
[00:37:23]  This is going to be a long, tough slog.
[00:37:25]  It's not, you know, Carrie Lake doesn't have a magic wand that she's going to wave and make it all better.

=== Truth Wins in Kerry Lake (04:08) ===

[00:37:29]  No.
[00:37:30]  This is going to be a long, tough slog.
[00:37:32]  And all of you, all of you, are going to have to be her partner.
[00:37:37]  Right?
[00:37:38]  Can she count on you?
[00:37:42]  No, can she, no, I'm not saying, can she count on you?
[00:37:50]  Carrie.
[00:37:59]  Thank you, Steve.
[00:38:00]  And thank you for keeping it honest.
[00:38:04]  Where would we be without the honesty of Steve Bannon when we had only these people telling us lies before?
[00:38:11]  Thank God for Steve Bannon.
[00:38:13]  Thank God for Charlie Kirk.
[00:38:15]  And thank God that we have a good BS meter, right?
[00:38:20]  Here in Arizona, we understand lies when we see them.
[00:38:25]  And we're able to discern the truth.
[00:38:28]  And we're going to get a whole lot more of the truth when you elect me as governor because I will tell you the truth every single day about what's happening.
[00:38:35]  I promise you that.
[00:38:39]  And there's a reason 100% of the mainstream media, 100% of the stories they write on me are negative and lies and filled with slander and defamatory statements because they are so afraid.
[00:38:53]  I'm going to get in there and do what I say I'm going to do, which is secure the border and make Arizona safe again for our families and our children.
[00:39:04]  And we're going to secure our election so that every Democrat, Independent, and Republican knows when they go to bed on election night, their one legal vote counted, and they can count on the results of that election coming in election night, not 10 days later.
[00:39:19]  You guys for that?
[00:39:21]  All right.
[00:39:24]  Actually, do me a favor.
[00:39:26]  Let's turn around because they always tell me in the media that nobody wants.
[00:39:29]  The elections were the most fair and honest.
[00:39:31]  Everything was fine.
[00:39:32]  Don't ask.
[00:39:33]  How dare you question?
[00:39:34]  Let them know.
[00:39:35]  Do you want fair and honest elections?
[00:39:37]  Let them know.
[00:39:39]  Woo!
[00:39:43]  Do you demand elections that we can believe in?
[00:39:47]  All right.
[00:39:47]  That's right.
[00:39:49]  So, guys, when you attack me, Fake news, you're attacking the people of Arizona.
[00:39:56]  We don't ask for much.
[00:39:58]  We want to know our legal vote counts, and we're going to get that with the Governor Carrie Lake.
[00:40:02]  So I ask you to get out there and get 10 friends.
[00:40:06]  Who has 10 friends?
[00:40:09]  Who has three friends?
[00:40:11]  Let's go lower.
[00:40:12]  If you got three friends, raise your hand.
[00:40:14]  Can you get three friends out to the poll next Tuesday?
[00:40:19]  We'll take a small bite, a little baby step.
[00:40:22]  Now, if you're like Wendy Rogers, you've got at least 10 friends, and she's going to get Senator Wendy Rogers will get 10 friends out.
[00:40:29]  I know Congressman Andy Biggs will get 10 friends out to the polls.
[00:40:33]  Do what you can.
[00:40:34]  Wake people up.
[00:40:36]  Let them know, as Steve Bannon said, we need a resounding message to the world that Arizona is taking back their state and taking back their government.
[00:40:49]  Thank you, everybody.
[00:40:50]  We need to get our friends to the polls.
[00:40:52]  I travel the country.
[00:40:53]  I'm an Arizonan.
[00:40:55]  We're in this together.
[00:40:56]  I have to tell you, it is a gift from the Lord that we are here right now in this time and have a leader like Kerry Lake.
[00:41:03]  The entire ballot, vote up and down the ballot, knock on doors, get your friends out.
[00:41:08]  A week from tonight, we send the loudest message Arizona has ever sent to the American ruling class.
[00:41:14]  We're going to win.
[00:41:15]  They're going to lose.
[00:41:16]  God bless you guys.
[00:41:17]  God bless State 48.
[00:41:19]  I love you all.
