���� She's a freedom fighter.
She's a patriot.
She is pure MAGA through and through.
Welcome to our guest host, Carrie Lake.
Oh my gosh, Seb, thank you so much.
It's such an honor to fill in on this show.
I've been on this show so many times as a guest with Sebastian Gorka.
And so when he asked me to fill in, what an honor it is.
And I just realized today is Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, 81 years ago today, a day that will live in infamy.
And so we honor all of our veterans.
If you're joining us today, if you're driving home, if you're in the car, if you're watching the podcast, however you're joining us, we welcome you today.
What a great program this is, and I've enjoyed it since Seb took over.
America First.
And that's what it's about.
You know, sometimes we think we're living in a planet crazy with what's happening in this world, especially what's happening here in Arizona with our elections.
And I know firsthand as a candidate for governor and leading a movement, an America First movement here for the last couple of years, it's really been difficult times.
And I know that with us working together as Americans, just as we heard in those clips leading in, We can accomplish anything.
We can make America great again.
So I'm Carrie Lake, and I'm just so honored to be on the show today.
I know Seb is having a great time there in Israel on a wonderful tour.
And so we have the next three hours together, and we have an action-packed program today.
You know, the movement of America First is so powerful.
You can see this kind of Battle playing out right now in the Republican Party, the establishment cronyism of the GOP trying so hard to kill this movement.
And it's just too powerful.
We even realized what happened last night in Georgia is part of a bigger movement and a battle that's going on in the Republican Party.
You know, the Democrats must be sitting back laughing in some ways because they just sit and watch as the Republicans shoot at each other while they're over there harvesting ballots, grabbing ballots, putting forth horrible candidates and winning.
And we have to stop this nonsense.
So we're going to have a great show.
We're going to talk about what's ahead, some solutions for bringing this party together and being victorious in our Make America Great Again movement.
And of course, we have a big battle going on right now for RNC chair, Ronna McDaniel, Ronna Romney McDaniels, as she's known, is looking to get reelected.
And there's some challengers this time around.
So we're going to have those challengers joining us on the program today.
We will have Harmeet Dhillon and Mike Lindell, two of the people running.
They'd like to defeat Ronna.
And I know a lot of the grassroots wants to see that happen.
They're going to be joining us here in the next few hours.
Also, We saw something so despicable yesterday when Joe Biden talking about his trip to Arizona yesterday.
And when he was asked by a journalist, will you visit the border?
He said, no, he's not going to go.
It's not that important.
There's other more important things.
So we're going to talk to some parents who lost their son to a fentanyl poisoning.
And you know, when I was running for governor and talking about the wide open border, and this is why we have such a huge movement here in Arizona, people want these common sense solutions.
They want the border to be shut down to this illegal activity.
And this is why our policies were so popular.
Because day one, my plan was to shut down that border, shut down the illegal activity at the border.
And so we're going to talk to a mother and father who lost their amazing son to a fentanyl poisoning.
That's coming up.
They have an amazing story and they can talk to you about what's really behind this wide open border.
So we'll talk to them a little bit later on.
And we're also going to be talking to a couple of journalists from Maricopa County, the infamous Maricopa County, where if you can rig an election, And if you can cheat and if you can, you know, push your thumb down on the scale, you can pretty much change the course of this whole country.
It's one of those mega counties.
I didn't say mega.
I said mega.
It's the second largest when it comes to electoral power in the whole country.
And that's why it's critical what happens here with our elections.
And we're going to break down what happened in the Arizona elections because the legacy media, the mainstream media, is not covering what happened on November 8th.
In Maricopa County, what happened on Maricopa County on November 8th was a highway robbery of the good people who chose to show up and vote on election day.
They were punished.
They were discriminated against.
They were disenfranchised.
And we're going to lay out what happened in Maricopa County.
And I'll tell you why I am going to be filing a lawsuit against the county contesting this election.
So that's coming up as well.
But I find it humorous, guys, that as we're dealing with these elections where the Democrats roll out the absolute worst candidates you could ever fathom.
I mean, you could not invent a worse candidate than a Katie Hobbs or John Fetterman or Warnock.
And they roll out these horrible candidates time and time again, and then the elections go their way.
And you go, why is this happening?
Well, we know how the Democrats play with the ballot harvesting, with collecting ballots, with rounding them up, with mailing them out to every Tom, Dick and Harry, with a pulse or without a pulse.
And they've gotten pretty good at that game.
And now the Republicans, instead of saying, let's do better, let's change our election laws so that we have fair and honest and transparent elections, we're seeing a lot of people talk about, well, we have to get really good at doing what the Democrats do, which is playing dirty and not talking about the issues that will make this country great.
I don't like the sound of that.
I want to be part of a principled party.
And I think you do too.
I think if you're driving down the road, I know we want to win, but we want to win on great ideas, common sense ideas, and having our best days ahead of us.
So we need to work with changing our election laws so we don't have election month.
We don't have mail-in ballots going to every person alive and dead and even non-existent creatures.
And so we'll talk a little bit about that.
But I thought it was actually humorous.
I don't often laugh at Mitt Romney.
Well, actually, I do laugh at Mitt Romney.
But I actually thought he said something that almost put him in the comedian status when he called out President Trump and called President Trump a rhino.
This really happened.
I'm not making this up.
The king of the rhinos, Mitt Romney, calling the MAGA king, Donald Trump, a rhino.
If you don't believe me, I didn't believe it.
I had to have this played for me three times.
I said, are we sure this has got to be a deep fake?
What's going on here?
Take a look.
Let's play the cut here.
Well, as you know, the Republican Party has long been the party of the Constitution.
And so when President Trump says he wants to suspend the Constitution, he goes from being MAGA to being RINO.
We're the Constitution Party.
First of all, did President Trump really say that?
No.
Let's look at the truth that he put out, and I'm going to read it for you.
This is what President Trump said to get that absolutely absurd, asinine response from Rhino King Mitt Romney.
Here's what President Trump truthed out on his platform, Truth Social.
He said, so with the revelation of massive and widespread fraud and deception in working closely with big tech companies, the DNC and the Democrat Party, do you throw the presidential election results of 2020 out and declare the rightful winner? do you throw the presidential election results of 2020 out Or do you have a new election?
A massive voter fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations and articles, even those found in the Constitution.
Our great founders did not want and would not condone false and fraudulent elections.
I agree with them on that.
Yeah.
Can you imagine our founding fathers, what they went through to help bring about this great nation?
Seeing what happened in 2020?
It's really seeing what's happening now in 2022.
Just saying, okay, well, I guess it didn't go our way and I guess they cheated.
We know they rigged the elections and they put in a bumbling fool who doesn't even have the mental capacity to run this country.
Okay, just get over it.
We'll just let the loser take the White House.
I don't think that would happen.
President Trump is saying we are in unprecedented times and unprecedented measures are necessary.
That is what he is saying.
And what that means and what the remedy is for that, I don't exactly know.
He's saying, let's return the diamonds, right?
That's exactly what he's saying.
And so the question is, how do we move forward?
We're seeing big tech and what they're doing with censoring.
We're seeing big tech.
and how they helped rig that election.
And we even have the federal government, the FBI and other agencies behind it.
So when we come back, we're gonna talk about all this.
We've got a great program for you.
I'm Keri Lake.
I'm so happy to be filling in today for Sebastian Gorka on American First.
We're gonna have a great three hours.
I hope you'll join us for the entirety of it.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
The Democrats have a much more organized get-out-the-vote effort, much more focused on the early voting and really driving The mail-in ballot process much more effectively than the Republicans.
This is a wake-up call for the Republican Party, where in essence they failed to really have an effective get-out-the-vote effort and really just play the Democrats at their game.
And I think that this is something that has to be fixed right now.
Welcome back to America First with Sebastian Gorka.
I'm Keri Lake filling in for the great Sebastian Gorka who is in Israel right now on a great tour and I'm so honored to be here today.
That was Mercedes Schlapp with CPAC and she joins us live.
Mercedes, it's so good to have you.
You've become not only a friend but a mentor and actually I met Seb at your home, at one of your gatherings there, so this is kind of, we've come full circle, and I'm really happy to have you today.
It's like one big happy family, and it's so joyful to see you, Carrie.
You are such a great patriot.
Talk about the great one, really seeing you on the campaign trail.
I was just so inspired as so many people, not only in Arizona, but across the country, of you being able to be such an effective communicator, such a strong messenger for America First policies and for what America desperately needs right now in this country.
So, you know, for me, it's a great honor to be with you.
And don't tell Sebastian, but you're much prettier than Sebastian Gorka.
Definitely.
It's lighting and makeup.
It's lighting and makeup.
Totally.
Well, you know, you talk about being a great communicator.
It's really easy to communicate when your policies make sense, when you love this country.
It's much like what Ronald Reagan did, and I've been always an admirer.
He's been one of my personal heroes.
And President Trump.
Make America great again.
They're both MAGA.
They're both MAGA presidents, if you think about it.
So to me, when I hear what you said in that clip, Part of me agrees with you, and then part of me says, we have the ideas, we have the candidates, and now we have to play this dirty, gross game.
Is that the only option right now?
I wish we could get some of the establishment types who are really trying to sabotage some of these candidates to roll in, fall in line, and get behind this America First movement.
Well, I mean, you bring up a lot of great points.
So, look, there's a divide in the Republican Party, very clearly, between, you know, the MAGA movement that I think, you know, President Trump obviously is a leader of that movement.
It's had people who were never politically involved, and I'll put my sister into that category, who never was concerned about politics, thought her sister was crazy for even getting involved in politics, for her being the one that calls me in the morning now and tells me, have you heard the latest on what happened in the Georgia race?
How disappointing.
And so what's happening is that you're seeing this huge disappointment in the Republican Party right now because of the fact that we're not unified.
You know, we talk about the Democrats being divided, but it almost feels like the Republicans were almost like in two separate camps.
But let's be real, Kerry, we have several issues here, which is when you're looking at these battleground states, if there is a Democrat governor, a Democrat secretary of state, It's going to be even tougher for a Republican to win.
And let's also remember the money game here is outrageous.
What the Democrats are able to fundraise and really push their message.
Yes, we have the ideas.
We have the message, but let's be real, the Democrats are able to push their propaganda, push misinformation, shape their narrative to try to blame the Republicans for everything that's going wrong in this country, and they have the money to put the message out there to many of these voters who are not really maybe political, not really involved in the politics day in and day out, but they're basically saying, I'll stick with this guy because this other party scares me.
So this is what we're dealing with.
And so we got to beat them at their game.
You know, I think I was talking to one of your folks out in Arizona.
One of the things they mentioned was that yes, ballot harvesting, illegal, but there's no way to enforce it.
So how do we really develop a strategy where we're starting to win and really start courting and bringing in some of these mail-in ballots that we can't even—that the Democrats are continuously winning in that area?
Well, and we can work on it, but I'm not willing to do anything criminal, and I think that the Democrats are.
I mean, look at FTX.
We're sending $100 billion or more of our hard-earned taxpayer money over to Ukraine, and we're finding out that millions, tens of millions is being funneled through FTX, and then going primarily to a lot of the Democrat candidates.
And you know, we've got to start having law and order return to this country where when you're doing something criminal, there are repercussions for it.
And we've watched as we have a judicial system where there is no justice when it comes to the acts of the Democrats.
So it is such a complicated situation and how we solve it and how we solve it quickly.
I don't know that it is able to be solved quickly.
Okay.
I want to get your opinion now.
We want to play a couple of clips here.
Do we have time for a clip or should we try to keep Mercy over to the next segment?
Okay.
We've got a little bit of time, Mercy, since we've got you out here.
You know, we just played Mitt Romney calling President Trump a rhino, which is comical.
Oh gosh.
What are your thoughts on what the President is saying?
We're seeing now what's happening with the information coming out from Twitter.
We're finding out that the FBI, the federal government is working to censor Americans.
We're finding out the Democrat Party was using Twitter as its own propaganda machine to stop information from coming out that would have changed the outcome of the election.
First of all, your thoughts on that, and then your thoughts on President Trump saying, hey, we've got unprecedented times, call for unprecedented measures.
If we had an election stolen from us, we got to put the rightful winner back in.
So tell me your thoughts on both of those.
I gotta tell you that I was just with Jim Jordan this morning and he talked about, he says, can you believe that you've had the FBI interfere in pretty much almost every single election since 2016?
Whether it was the Clinton campaign funded Steele dossier in 2016.
You move to 2020, which is when they're trying to suppress the Hunter Biden laptop story, and you have big tech colluding with the FBI.
Then you have this James Baker, who was this FBI lawyer who was trying to suppress this information on Twitter.
You can't make this stuff up.
And we're seeing a Department of Justice that is out of control, basically going after anyone or anything that even touches President Trump.
And this is why you're seeing the fact that something has to happen.
So I think you're going to watch Jim Jordan as chairman of Judiciary Committee.
That is going to be a big focus, these investigations into the Department of Justice.
It is much needed.
Is it going to be enough?
Well, it's a start.
But this is why we have to put the pressure on the Department of Justice to stop going after Let's play Jim Jordan sound.
I think we've got time for it.
making these political plays.
And also, let's hold the FBI accountable.
They're not protecting the American people.
They are going after innocent Americans.
They have interfered in these elections, and that is simply wrong.
Okay.
Let's play Jim Jordan's sound.
I think we've got time for it.
Cut 10 to talk a little bit more about what you were just referring to.
This just shows big tech, big media, big government working together to keep information from we That's the problem.
What I'm committed to doing, what the Republican members of the judiciary are committed to do is get into the FBI's role in all this.
Those weekly briefings they were doing with big tech on the heels of that letter from 51 former intel officials that said it was a Russian disinformation operation.
Baloney.
They knew it was baloney and yet they were doing these briefings.
So that's the big problem.
Huge problem.
We've got to deal with the FBI problem in many of these agencies.
Mercy, thank you so much.
Mercedes Schlapp with CPAC.
Great to have you on today.
Thanks for joining me.
Thank you.
Hello, America First with Sebastian Gorka.
I'm filling in.
I'm so honored to be here.
Sebastian and I have become friends over the past year and a half.
As I said in the last segment, I actually met him at a gathering at the Schlapp's home.
And I walked up to him and I said, you don't know me.
I know you, I admire you, and I'm running for governor of Arizona, and we started a friendship and have been on the show so many times.
So when he asked if I'd fill in, of course, naturally, I said, of course I will.
And what a great opportunity to talk about some of the big issues happening here in Arizona.
I think Arizona is kind of always ground zero for everything, whether it comes to election integrity, our border battle, our fentanyl crisis, what's happening in our schools.
Arizona is at the tip of the spear.
And we just had an election here, November 8th, which was run like they run elections in banana republics.
And this is why I'm going to be contesting the election, as you saw earlier this week.
Some of the, I call them clowns, running our circus of elections actually certified the election.
My opponent, Katie Hobbs, who should have recused herself, but oversaw the election in a very shady and shoddy way, actually certified the election.
And a lot of America First patriots were saying, Carrie, what are you doing?
Why aren't you contesting this?
What's wrong?
And what they don't realize is that in order to contest an election in Arizona, It has to be certified.
So this sham election had to be certified for us to begin contesting it, and we will be contesting it.
We're going to be filing our lawsuit on Friday, and I'll be filling you in more later on in this program about the lawsuit and what's coming up.
So we'll be having a little bit more on that.
But many of you know my story that I worked for nearly 30 years in the news, in the news business as a journalist, a broadcast journalist.
And after 27 years covering Arizona, 22 years as the lead anchor at the Fox affiliate here in Arizona, I stepped away, walked away from my career really in disgust with how news had become just pure propaganda.
And I wasn't willing to lend my voice, my heart, my mind to that kind of work anymore.
It has ceased to become not just biased, but unethical and immoral.
So I walked away and the people of Arizona asked me to run for governor.
We have led an amazing movement here and I've gotten to know a lot of great patriots in the process.
And one of them is my next guest.
His name is Ben Berquam and he is the amazing journalist, For Frontline's America, covering what's happening at our border.
And Ben joins me now.
I'm so happy to have you on the program today, Ben.
Where are you?
And tell us what you're up to.
And thanks for joining us.
Hey, Kerry, it's an honor to be with you.
And I'm actually back home for a few days.
We escaped California about two years ago.
We live in the free state of Arkansas.
I tell people it's like moving back to America.
And I'm here for a few days.
I'll actually be rejoining you in Arizona shortly and covering what's going on there.
And I spent most of my time For the folks that don't know, on the Arizona and Texas border, doing my show Law & Border on Real America's Voice News.
And we actually, I had the honor of having you on there as well on one of our last episodes.
And so it's just, it's an honor to do it.
It's an honor to stand up for America and to know amazing people like yourself.
Well, it's been so amazing to watch your coverage of what's happening in our southern border.
Not many people are brave enough to go cover it and cover it honestly.
The fake news is not even, they're basically ignoring it.
And you've exposed what's behind this.
And on day one, when President Trump left the White House and Joe Biden took over, he pulled back all of these great policies that President Trump had put into place.
So, you know, you've seen it progressively get worse.
And to see Joe Biden come to Arizona this week and say he's not going to visit the border that he pretty much destroyed.
What were your thoughts on that?
It's disgusting.
I mean, this guy went into office, and as you mentioned, President Trump gave us the most secure border we've ever had in American history.
He was the most compassionate president when it came to illegal immigration for Americans, as well as for the illegal immigrants that are being exploited because of policies from the open borders left from people like Joe Biden.
It's for him to go, to be two hours away from the southern border, and say it's not as important of an issue as chips for computers.
The fact that our country's being invaded because of his policies, and we see it every single day.
I mean, what we witnessed down there, from the rape of children, the sexual exploitation of women and children, modern-day slavery.
We have more slaves in America today than ever before in history.
This is It's absolutely outrageous, but it's not surprising.
This is coming from a politician that does not care about the southern border to the point where his policies are actively hurting our country.
And so that's really the bottom line on this all, is Secretary Marcos needs to be impeached.
Joe Biden needs to be impeached.
These people, they've sworn an oath to our Constitution, and they've broken that oath, and they're putting every single American citizen in danger.
Not to mention what's going on with the elections and everything else.
It's just, it's outrageous.
Okay, well now you've just done it.
I've got to keep you on another segment because I do want to talk to you about your coverage of the elections.
And I was down at the border with you.
You talked about the children.
I remember picking up this little, you know, mud-covered shoe from a little boy, probably three years old.
So we'll talk a little bit more about the border and the election.
We're going to take a quick break.
We'll be back with Ben Berquam.
You are listening to America First with Sebastian Gorka.
I'm Carrie Lake.
Thank you.
Welcome back to America First with our very special guest host, none other than Carrie Lake.
All right.
Thank you for being here.
If you're listening in the car, if you're watching on Rumble, if you want to watch on Rumble, go to rumble.com slash Seb Gorka and join us.
We're going to be here for the next couple of hours on America First with Sebastian Gorka.
I'm Carrie Lake.
I'm so happy to be here with you.
And talking about the issues that are important.
And what's so cool about the name of the show, America First, is those policies that we saw with President Trump and with my run for governor here in Arizona, were common sense America First policies.
It is the only way out of the mess we're in.
These career politicians, I call them the losers in Washington and the lifers who run for office and never leave.
have gotten us into such a hole.
The only way out is through Common Sense America First policies, where we put the people of this great country first.
And this is why people like Ben Burquam, who's exposing what's happening on our border, has been so effective in waking people up.
And he joins us for another segment.
Ben, thanks for joining us.
We were talking about the border and the lack of interest in the border from Joe Biden, who refused to visit the border, refused to see the crisis he has created.
Let's just kind of wrap up what you've noticed happening in the past six months or so.
You know, usually Americans tire of an issue because it's like, okay, we'll talk about that issue.
They haven't.
They're waking up by what they're seeing on the border because it's affecting their everyday lives from the fentanyl pouring into the crime to the resources going to people here illegally.
Just kind of wrapping up what your thoughts are and what you've seen over the past six months or so.
Well, it's national suicide, what we have going on down there.
This is being brought to you by the Open Borders Left.
They have partnered with the cartels and they are working to undermine America from within.
We have the highest amount of drugs coming across, the highest amount of fentanyl coming across, the highest number of deaths from fentanyl.
But we also have the most illegal aliens coming in to take resources from American citizens.
That we've ever seen before.
Over five million in the last two years under Joe Biden.
And those are the ones that we know of.
Border Patrol says they're only catching between a half or a third of what's actually coming across.
So it's catastrophic.
Catastrophic is an understatement to say what's happening on our southern border.
And it's just the beginning.
What we see at the southern border is coming to every single community across this country.
We're going to see more angel families.
More Americans killed by illegal aliens.
And we're going to see the economic impact of these decisions for years to come.
And ultimately, we're going to see the political impact as well, as you see states like Arizona.
If the fraud in Arizona stands, the cartels will own Arizona.
And that's what we're seeing.
The cartels own Mexico.
They own most politicians in Mexico.
And what we're finding out is that they're actually owning many of the politicians in America as well.
They control the border.
They control the border.
The Mexican cartels working in conjunction with the CCP, who's shipping over fentanyl and other dangerous drugs, are trying to weaken America.
It doesn't just stay in these border states.
We know it goes to every single state.
That's why my policy, the boldest policy to handle the border, was so popular with all Americans.
And, you know, we were even pushing Texas to do more.
Finally, they're doing a little bit more, but I'm not sure they're doing enough.
It's not just the Democrats, though.
A lot of these weak Republicans don't have the, how do I say this without getting in trouble, backbone.
They don't have the backbone to do what's right on the border.
And an outsider such as myself coming in and saying, here's how we solve our problem on the border.
We get tough.
We basically do what Trump did.
And we play hardball with the Mexican government to help protect their side of the border to keep these cartels from shipping in all of the drugs and the people.
But I think I heard Schumer saying the other day, our birth rates are so low, we need to have all these people coming in.
And isn't it ironic that the left, who's pushing All of this garbage nonsense on our young people to not have children because of the cartel.
Now they're complaining that our birth rate is low and we need more people coming in illegally.
It's just an insane cycle that we're in.
Let's talk a little bit more about the lawlessness here in Arizona because you went from covering the border to covering the lawlessness when it comes to our elections in Maricopa County.
And I want to play a clip here.
You and another reporter named Jordan Conrad, Sid, were denied access to press conferences when it came to our Banana Republic-style election here in Maricopa County.
They didn't deem you a credible journalist, even though you two may be some of the only credible journalists left covering news here in Arizona.
I want to play a clip of what happened when you tried to get into the Maricopa County Center where they were counting the ballots, where the press conferences were happening about this debacle election.
I want to play a clip of what happened.
So roll that clip.
Thank you, Supervisor.
I typically don't speak at these.
I represent folks.
I have an organization called Frontline America, and I also represent a media outlet, Real America's Voice News.
We were denied entry along with my colleague, Jordan Conradson, to the election office, and I figured this was an appropriate time to redress my grievance.
I spend most of my time on the southern border exposing the invasion that's going on down there, especially here in Arizona and what's coming into our country.
The biggest concern I have is if this election is certified the only parties that will benefit from this are the cartels.
They've taken over Mexico and sadly they've taken over many politicians in America.
What we saw on election day was outrageous and to say that it was anything but that is either you think we're stupid or you're just that arrogant.
What we've seen from you in the election office and your response, very simple questions needed to be asked.
2020 was a disaster.
How was 2022 worse?
You cannot say that you can certify an election when half of the voting machines were down.
Was it a thousand people that were disenfranchised?
Was it 10,000 of the people that were there in line?
Or the people that didn't show up because they saw on the news the election machines didn't work?
The fact that you've already made up your minds.
You've already made the decision.
This is all semantics.
All of us coming up here and speaking is semantics.
You've already made your vote.
You've already made this decision.
You said the world is watching and you're right.
They're watching and they're watching this disaster play out in front of them.
You responded to the AG with the most pathetic, inept response I've ever seen.
You have not redressed the grievances of these people.
That is the question.
And the answer that I hear from everyone across this room is You cannot certify.
So the question is, what is the remedy?
The fact that you were on a PAC that was going against Carrie Lake, as well as Richard, going against Carrie Lake.
How can you say that there's no conflict of interest?
You have a Secretary of State running against a gubernatorial candidate.
How can you say there's no conflict of interest?
And then your machines go down on election day.
It is absolutely outrageous.
If you certify today, the only thing you'll be certifying is your corruption.
Boy, you laid that out so succinctly on what's happening, where the only way to stop this movement, or to try to stop this movement, Ben, was to sabotage Election Day.
And that's what they did here in Maricopa County.
And that's why we have to stay in this fight.
Wrap up, I've got just a few seconds left.
Ben, where can people find you?
FrontlineAmerica.com, AmericasVoice.news, and then on social media, at Ben Birkbaum everywhere.
Thank you for what you're doing.
It's an honor to be with you.
You are an American hero, and you are a great journalist, and we need more great journalists like Ben Berkwam.
We've got much more coming up.

We're going to talk to a couple of parents who were affected by what's happening on our border when.
We're going to talk to a couple of parents.

We'll be right back.
And few things in life are more rewarding than seeing the joy on children's faces as they open up a Christmas present from a parent, knowing their mom or dad cared enough to select it just for them.
Look at these beautiful children here.
But when a parent is in prison, that can be especially challenging, and that's where Prison Fellowship's Angel Tree program steps in.
Your donations make it possible for a prisoner's child to actually receive a gift from their parent, a personalized note from mom or dad, and access to a Bible in either English or Spanish.
Last year, the Angel Tree program blessed over 300,000 children of prisoners all over America.
Here are just two of them, Alana and Quentin, telling what they love the most about being part of Angel Tree Christmas.
I'm with my family and knowing that my dad cares.
He's sending me all these gifts thanks to you and I really like to thank you for it.
I like the presents that my dad sent me.
I know that you guys care and he cares so I just want to thank you for that and I love presents.
Thank you Angel Tree for doing all that you do because you don't have to do this but you choose to do it and I really appreciate it.
That is so special.
Now it's your turn to share the love of Christ through a donation to our Angel Tree campaign.
Just go to SebGorka.com and click on the Angel Tree banner.
For a gift of just $125, you can bless five children of prisoners with personalized Christmas presents and a personal note from their incarcerated parent.
Plus, every Angel Tree family is also given access to a free, easy-to-read copy of the Bible in English or Spanish.
Please go to SebGorka.com, click on the Angel Tree banner, or you can phone your gift in any amount to 888-206-2794.
to 888-206-2794.
That's 888-206-2794.
That's 888-206-2794.
And thank you for joining Dr. Gorka's campaign to help prison fellowships.
So important.
Well, welcome back.
We are wrapping up our first hour.
We've got two more hours left and we have so many issues to talk about.
We all know that there is going to be some upheaval in the RNC.
A lot of people saying it's time for Ronna Romney McDaniel to move on.
And we bring in some new leadership.
So coming up in the next hour, we're going to talk to Harmeet Dhillon.
She's running to replace Rana.
And also Mike Lindell, who is running, one of the great patriots in this country.
We're going to talk to both of them about what their vision is for the party.
And we also, you know, we just talked about the border in Arizona.
Our southern border is a disaster zone.
It truly is.
And it is affecting people who live thousands of miles from the border.
Because we know that deadly fentanyl has been pouring across.
The cartels have operational control of our border, and it's got to stop.
We're going to talk to some parents who lost their son to fentanyl poisoning.
They're just one of tens of thousands of parents just like them across the country who have been faced with this absolute devastation to losing a child to a poisoning of fentanyl.
And so we'll be talking to them when we come back on America First with Seb Gorka.
We'll be right back.
Thank you.
The president endorsed her.
She's never giving up.
She's a true patriot.
Please welcome our special guest host, Carrie Lake!
Oh, it's so good to be on America First with Sebastian Gorka.
I'm Carrie Lake and I'm reporting to you live from Arizona, the state where our borders wide open and our elections are run like a circus and we have a lot to fix here in Arizona.
And that's why our movement is so powerful.
I just want to lay things out for you because I know for the national audience, they're not covering the mainstream media.
It's not covering how our elections were run here in Arizona.
Maricopa County is the second largest when it comes to the number of people living in it and electoral power.
62% of our state lives in Maricopa County.
And the Republican who ran the Maricopa County elections, number one goal was to stop MAGA candidates such as myself.
He even started up a PAC raising money to bring down candidates who spoke out against the 2020 election.
And there's no denying it.
I talked about the election and how it was a rigged election in 2020, and we all know that it was.
I mean, we're now seeing with Twitter and what's coming out on Twitter, how indeed the social media giants and the tech tyrants were working to help Joe Biden lie about his influence with folks like The Ukrainians and the CCP taking money, his son Hunter Biden, and the laptop, they were trying to keep that away from the voters to try to influence the election.
And they did influence the election.
So fast forward to 2022, nothing is done to repair and fix our elections here in Arizona.
The people running them are anti-America First.
And actually, the only way to slow our movement was to pretty much sabotage election day voting.
And so they did that.
They really did.
With 62 percent, I've got a few facts, 63 percent of the poll locations on election day were inoperable or not fully functioning.
The tabulator machines went down.
The ballot printers weren't working.
They had no ink in the ballot printers.
It was a complete nightmare.
And because of that, they declared my opponent the victor.
And I want people to know out there that we are going to fight for election integrity.
We are going to be filing a lawsuit this Friday, and we're going to fight what happened in Maricopa County, because we have a movement here, and my basement Biden opponent, Katie Hobbs, knows that she did not win this election.
It's disgusting what happened.
I'm going to continue fighting it and let's go actually to the phone.
We've got, it looks like we have Mike on the line and he wants to talk a little bit about the elections.
Mike, welcome to America First with Sebastian Gorka.
I'm Carrie Lake.
What do you have to say about the elections?
I would love to know an action plan that a private citizen could do so that we could start trying to do something from this end.
Our governor, Governor Cooper, is no worse than Katie Hobbs.
Well, Mike, thank you so much for calling from North Carolina.
I hear the frustration in your voice.
I understand it.
Let me tell you, I personally understand it.
Watching as a movement as strong as ours, America First, and we have a movement in Arizona, watching as a bunch of people try to sabotage that and take away our sacred vote, and what they did here on Election Day, it was highway robbery in broad daylight.
What they did in 2020, they did in the middle of the night.
What they did in 2022 on November 8th here in Arizona was done in broad daylight, where they basically made it impossible for people to vote, where people had to wait in line up to five hours to vote, and they just threw their hands up and gave up.
And once they got in to vote, they realized that the tabulator machine would not accept their ballot, and they were being told to put their ballot in drawer three, and that it would be thrown into a bag and brought down and counted later.
We have to reform our elections.
And what can you do?
You know, right now we have to use our voices, what we have left of our First Amendment, which isn't much.
But we have to be comfortable and strong and courageous enough to speak out.
That means on social media.
That means ruffling some feathers on social media.
That means calling your legislator and telling them that election integrity is of utmost importance.
As long as we have these mail-in ballots floating around, there will be cheating.
I'm a big believer that we have to get rid of them.
Obviously, we can have absentee voting for people who are in the military or severely disabled, but we need to get back to election day.
Here in Arizona, we vote for more than a month, and we count ballots for about two weeks.
And the people have zero trust in our election.
So we've got to use our voices right now and speak out to every elected official we know.
I think you should start calling the fake news, even though I'm sure most of the people listening aren't even watching the fake news.
We need to pressure them to cover this story.
It's the most important story in our country right now.
I want to go to Judy from Brooklyn.
Judy, oh man, I feel frustrated here in Arizona.
It must be very frustrating to be in New York where the voters have just been abused for so long.
Thank you for calling in.
What are your comments today?
A hundred percent.
And, Kerry, I want to wish you really, really good luck on your contesting the votes.
It's just outrageous what was going on over there, Kerry, and you're terrific.
You're a real warrior, and we love you for it.
I'm calling because, you know, Americans, as far as I'm concerned, do not trust elections anymore, Kerry.
They just don't, one way or the other.
So, moving forward, I'd like to suggest something as an option, quote-unquote.
The House We should put into the budget, not in January, but now, funding for thousands of agents from a new committee, you could call it prevention election fraud if you want to, where they literally investigate every election from here on in, every election, every ballot, or whatever it is.
And anyone caught committing fraud, Kerry, should be sentenced to 10 years in jail.
Just like they have this 87,000 IRS agents.
I'm serious.
Just like they have the 87,000 IRS agents hanging on everyone's head and outscaring a lot of folks.
This will hold back cheaters from thinking twice if they know that if they're caught, they'll get 10 years jail time over their heads.
And we need like thousands of agents every single election.
And you should know, this should appeal to everyone because everybody wants fair elections.
Don't you think, Kerry?
I agree.
I mean, you know what?
Right now, a slap on the wrist or somebody does something fraudulent with our elections and there's no repercussions at all.
And people might say, well, it's not a violent crime.
Well, you know what?
Stolen elections have serious consequences.
Look at the pullout from Afghanistan, how outrageous the pullout from Afghanistan was.
And we lost 13 of our finest in the military.
There are deadly consequences when elections are stolen.
Look at what is happening currently on the border, Judy.
We've got people being trafficked, children being sex trafficked, drugs pouring across the country.
These are deadly consequences to a stolen, corrupt election.
I'm a big believer that the people behind it, and don't be fooled, the people behind the botched, shady, shoddy election here in Arizona, in Maricopa County, are Republicans.
The Republicans run Maricopa County's elections.
And one of the most corrupt of all is a man named Stephen Richer.
As I told you, he ran a PAC raising money to try to defeat me.
And I'm on the ballot and he's supposed to be unbiased.
And so we got to realize that some of the people in our own party are against us.
I believe they don't want the grassroots activated.
President Trump came in when he came down that escalator and the Republican Party was on life support.
He revived a spirit of patriotism.
He revived the Republican Party and saved it.
And he brought real people in, hardworking men and women, and patriotic men and women from all walks of life into the Republican Party.
And the establishment, cronyism, and frankly, the political elite, part of the Uniparty, who say the Republicans don't want us regular people involved in politics.
They're offended that citizens are stepping forward and getting involved in politics.
And that's why they will do anything to stop people like me and candidates like me and these America First candidates.
They want to continue running the cabal the way they always have been.
And it is an infected rat's nest that we've got to root out and hose down and clean up and restore to our American principles.
So thank you, Judy.
Do we have time for another call?
We're going to go to Dale from California.
He says we're losing faith right now in the elections.
Dale, I hear you, and it must be even worse for the folks in California.
It is frustrating.
I love Judy, but she is 100% wrong.
I don't want the federal government within 100 miles of my state elections.
I agree.
I agree.
What happened to you in our elections?
That's a travesty.
What happened in Georgia yesterday, I believe, is far worse.
Because the Republicans, people of Georgia, did not show up to vote.
They didn't do it.
There wasn't voter suppression, blah, blah, blah.
They didn't show up to vote.
I know you're doing, fiercely doing show prep.
Did you happen to listen to the first hour of the Charlie Kirk show?
I missed it.
I missed it.
You can hardly blame them, though, when they watch one election after the next be destroyed by shenanigans.
Why would they have faith to show up?
This is the problem.
Kirk read all these emails of these people that were just proud of the fact they didn't show up to vote.
That's our First Amendment right, to show up to vote.
We need to show up.
That's right.
Well, we gotta hit a commercial break.
We'll try to get back with you when we come back, Dale.
And we'll take a quick break.
You are listening to America First with Sebastian Gorka.
I'm Carrie Lake.
Thank you.
Oh, it's so good to be here on America First.
I love the name of this program.
That is what it's all about.
And it's so difficult, the times that we're living in.
I know that some of us wake up in the middle of the night.
I know I'm not alone, and you think about the troubles that we're facing.
But I just want you to know that, and I said this when I was on the campaign trail, God did not put us here because He makes mistakes.
He put each and every one of us here to use our God-given talents to help save this amazing country.
And I believe the only way to save this country is through America First policies and principles.
I spent a lot of time with President Trump over the past year or so, and I just spent some time with him this last week.
It's just crazy.
And he talks about it, how you hear people saying, we're trying to bring down MAGA.
MAGA is bad.
All of the things they say.
And he says, really?
Make America great again is bad?
How can any politician say that?
It's like you're rooting against our country.
But we know that to be true because we've seen these career politicians And these people who work in these consulting groups, where they really do seem to be working against this country.
And that's why the America First movement is so powerful.
And one of my favorite people in this movement is my dear friend Mike Lindell, who's joining us right now.
And Mike was the first to call for Ronna Romney McDaniels to step down.
from the RNC, and he announced that he's going to run against her.
So we've got Mike on this hour, and next hour we have Harmeet Dhillon, who's also going to be running against Ronna.
Mike, first of all, thank you so much for being here.
I love that you stepped out and said, look, if no one else is going to run against her, I will, but we have to replace Ronna McDaniels.
What is the biggest issue you have with her?
Well, it goes back quite a ways, but if you're a CEO of a company, let's just look around this track record, 2018, F, 2020, F, 2022, big F, okay?
And why is it an F?
Well, what is the RNC there for?
You get behind candidates and you get money from big donors, hundreds of millions of dollars.
Let's just use the 2020 election.
She went out and solicited donors for huge amounts of money—upwards of $100 million—that was supposed to go to—call it election integrity, I call it election crime, but even the weak word.
And she did.
Everybody wait on it.
Nothing.
Zero.
What did she do just recently?
Then, by the way, then I'm out there fighting, getting lawsuits and stuff, and even my Supreme Court case that I was going around to all the attorney generals.
What did Ronald McDaniel come out and do?
Biden won fair and square.
It's like everybody, don't even listen to anything that could have happened back then.
It's like, put it behind us.
Well, then all of a sudden you get to this election and you get to Arizona, and they come into Arizona and go, OK, we're going to help out.
And then they go, oh, wait a minute, you want a new election because these election laws and stuff and the things that happened in the election?
Instead, they go, oh, we don't want, if you want that, we're going to back out.
We're going to run over to Georgia and we're going to solicit more money from big donors.
If you give us more money, Herschel will win.
E-out.
Wrong.
If you don't change the input, you're going to keep getting the same output, Gary.
And Ronald McDaniel and the RNC has not changed their, has not changed what they do based on their current footprint.
There's nobody who understands that more than me right now, Mike.
I'll tell you what, you know, you're right.
If you don't change the input, we knew what happened in 2020.
And for anybody, the RNC, to say that was a fair election, they've got their head in the sand.
They've got their head in the sand.
We have to reform our elections and they should be pushing that.
But again, we have this battle in the GOP.
And it's between the GOP, as they say, the establishment and America first.
And I think we need an RNC president or leader who will remind Republicans that America first is what saved the Republican party.
Do you think Mike, I'm going to, I'm going to ask you a real question here, a tough question.
And you and I are good friends.
Do you think you can bring the party together?
There are some people on the establishment side who are not never Trumpers, but they're also more establishment.
And I think there's a concern with you that you couldn't bring them together.
Well, that's because they don't know me.
I'm a uniter.
The media can put me in any class they want, but I can go to California, be in the streets of California like it was a few months ago with a lot of people on the left, and it was very uniting, okay?
And I will tell you this, just like the 168 People that vote in the RNC, there's three from every state and territory.
I started calling every single one of them.
That's what I do.
My due diligence.
What is the role of the RNC chair?
What do they do?
I want to talk to each and every one like they were the only one.
I view every one of them.
What if this was the only vote?
What if this is the only person that I'm going to be dealing with?
And someone told me yesterday, they gave me advice.
Oh, don't call this one.
He's a rhino.
He's this over in New Jersey and in New York.
And they were telling me these.
And I go, well, those will be the first ones I call.
Because I'm going to call them and I'm not going to, you know, I'm going to tell them how we can fix this and how the current system is not going to work.
You can't keep having that same input.
And I say another thing, too, is I'm going to ask them and say, you know what?
Well, most of them are volunteers.
They don't get paid except for, of course, the leader does, Ronna McDaniel, and others in that group.
And I'm going to say, why would a CEO of a company, considered a company that cares about our country, and you have failed three times, why would you even want to run again if you know it's going to do more damage to our country because you haven't been able to fix it or come up with a solution?
You're going to destroy the RNC.
The whole entity will go down.
And I said, you know what?
I'll put in my whole salary.
If there is a salary there, I'll put it all into the RNC.
And I would raise hundreds and hundreds of millions more than she ever thought of, because I don't, I don't go get money or donations or do anything like that from, from a donor.
Unless I believe in the product, you know, in any product, you better believe in what you have, because otherwise you're, you're, you're getting money under, under false pretenses.
Like, Then it's just, what, a money machine that doesn't do anything?
So I would talk to every single individual within the RNC and I will pull them together, Carrie.
You know me.
I don't care who it is or what the people are.
I'm going to unite them and here's what we need to do.
We need to come together and fix this.
Let me ask you a question.
I do know you, and you are one of the most genuine, honest, kind people.
People absolutely love you, and you are an honest person.
So a lot of the Republicans, and we don't have a lot of time, so answer this quickly, are suggesting that we start ballot chasing and acting like the Democrats.
I'm for reforming our elections, but in the meantime, how do we start winning again until we can get honest people in to reform our elections?
Do you think we should ballot chase?
That would be the worst thing.
That's exactly the opposite of what you should do.
100% opposite.
Your race in the primaries, prove it.
We need same-day voting, paper ballots, hand-counted.
It's been proven in every other country that has them.
And if they start doing that, then they're falling right into the trap of the Uniparty.
That's the Uniparty trap.
Anyone that says that, it's horrific if they would say something like that.
I have a problem with it too, Mike.
We have great policies, great candidates.
The left keeps rolling out people who are practically brain dead and they're criminals.
We've got all sorts of issues.
They've got bad backgrounds.
We have to reform our elections or our country will falter and we'll never get it back.
Mike, thank you for joining us.
It's just great to see you and I wish you all the best.
Thanks, Carrie.
Thanks, Mike.
All right, coming up much more on America First with Sebastian Gorka.
I'm Carrie Lake.
Stick around.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
Thank you.
Because the more important thing going on, they're going to invest billions of dollars in a new enterprise.
There's other important things going on.
That's Joe Biden when asked why he would go to Arizona and not go to the border.
He doesn't think the border is important.
The crisis that Joe Biden has created on the border, and many of you know, I'm Carrie Lake.
I run for governor here in Arizona.
We have a movement, America First Movement here in Arizona.
And we know that our border in Arizona being wide open like this is causing a wave of trouble across the country.
As a journalist, when I covered the border, Under President Trump, we'd never seen a more secure border.
I'd covered the border for 27 years with his policies in place.
We had the cartels being held at bay.
We had security on our border.
Our crime was low.
And Joe Biden came in.
Within the first hour, he pulled back all of those policies that were effective and working.
and handed over, ceded control of our southern border to the Mexican cartels who are working in cooperation with the CCP in China to move in the largest amount of fentanyl, a deadly poison meant to bring down this country.
And if you don't believe that drugs can destroy a nation, Do a little history research and look into the opium wars that brought down dynasties.
That's what they're trying to do here in America, weaken us, destroy our country, and they're using the wide open border to do so.
I want to bring in a couple who become friends of mine, Karen and Clark Griffin, here in Arizona.
They lost their amazing son, Tyler, To fentanyl poisoning.
Karen and Clark, thank you so much for joining us on America First with Sebastian Gorka.
I appreciate you being on today.
Thank you, Carrie.
We're honored to be on with you.
We're still we've gone through deep depression in how this election was run and losing Tyler was was horrible.
But I'm just so sorry the way our elections were run.
I signed up actually to work the elections.
I want to tell you.
briefly and took two days worth of courses so that I would understand the machinery.
And I was on call to work at the Vale Center, and we had a family situation come up, and they had a lot of people.
So I didn't end up working.
However, I want to tell you that two stations, the one where Clark worked, Voting Center, and my Voting Center, They didn't even use the machines.
And when I asked about it, they said, oh, because of troubles we've been having with the machines, we're going to count them later.
And I was just livid.
I have made phone calls trying to figure out why, and I understood from friends that the same thing happened at other voting centers, and this is in Pima County.
So I wanted to bring that up, too, and then talk about Tyler.
Well, we live in a banana republic now.
Arizona, the elections are run.
It's a joke.
The people know it.
Our sacred vote is being trampled upon.
Our border, as we're seeing in this video that's playing, if you're watching on Rumble, it's like a migrant center.
It's a migrant camp.
And our country is being run into the ground.
And nobody understands this more than a family who loses a loved one to fentanyl poisoning.
And when Joe Biden said, the border's not important, I challenged him to sit before a mother who's lost her child to fentanyl poisoning or a father.
It is the most Agonizing thing that you could imagine, as you know.
And as a candidate, the hardest part I faced was to hear the story of someone who lost a loved one senselessly.
So tell us a little bit about how Tyler died, how he even got his hands on fentanyl, and share your story with our viewers and our listeners.
Yeah, Tyler was poisoned.
And that's the, you know, everybody is saying overdose, and the word is he was definitely poisoned.
He'd been working 60 hour weeks.
He was always a hard worker.
Tyler was an amazing young man.
He was student body president, homecoming king.
Everybody loved him.
He had his life ahead of him.
Graduated from the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and just had everything going for him.
He, a neighbor, he'd been having trouble sleeping because of a wrist injury that he'd gotten at work, and a neighbor gave him a pill.
Someone he knew not well, but, you know, was next door neighbor, knew he'd been having trouble sleeping.
Tyler didn't want to take the, you know, the heavy sleeping pills, and he said this would help him sleep and help with the pain.
Yeah, it helped him sleep all right.
He just never woke up.
So we lost our young man.
It was also during the COVID crisis of where I didn't even get to hug my son goodbye because he'd been working in a place where, you know, there'd been an outbreak.
And I feel duped by our government as far as the masks, keeping him six feet away, and not being able to even hug him goodbye that last time we spent with him.
And we'd had dinner with him the night before, and everything was great.
But yeah, he was poisoned.
And we are one of the lucky families in that Karen, we're going to take a quick break.
I hate to cut you off.
We're coming back.
We'll wrap up with you after a quick break.
He is up on several allegations.
And he will probably- Karen, we're going to take a quick break.
I hate to cut you off.
We're coming back.
We'll wrap up with you after a quick break.
Karen, stick with us.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
Welcome back to America First with Sebastian Gorka.
I'm Carrie Lake, filling in today for Seb, who is just returning home from his Israel trip, and I'm just so honored to be with you, America.
It's interesting, we're sitting here talking about some of the big issues facing our country, and many of them happen to be happening right here in Arizona.
My state that I love so much and that's why I ran for governor and started a movement here in Arizona and a big part of what made our movement makes our movement so strong is my stance on our border, which is we have to make that the top priority securing our border.
Stopping the cartels, stopping the drugs, stopping the human smuggling and child trafficking.
And that trafficking of drugs is what is killing so many of our young people with a fentanyl crisis in all 50 states.
No one has felt that harder and more seriously than folks like Karen and Clark Griffin, who lost their amazing son, Tyler.
And we were just talking to Karen in the last segment.
Let's talk to Clark.
Clark, you are a father, Tyler's father.
And I don't think anybody can imagine the pain you go through.
Your son Tyler wasn't, you know, they think a junkie on the street.
He was an upstanding young man who had done so much to make the world a better place.
And this is the scary thing about fentanyl.
It can find its way into your child's hand with one pill when they think it's a legitimate pill, and it turns out that it's not.
It's poison.
Yeah Kerry, you're absolutely right.
And like Karen said, you know, Tyler had no idea that he had taken fentanyl.
He had thought he had taken like a Tylenol 3.
And that's the most insidious part of this whole thing is that 80% of the people who die from this drug have no idea they took it.
And that's why it's poisoning and not an overdose.
I've had an opportunity to talk to a lot of young people and it's amazing to me, college people in particular, the lack of knowledge that they have about this issue.
So we've got to really work hard to get education out on the street to the young people.
Yeah.
And you know, our movement was so powerful, is so powerful.
That's why I'm fighting this election, because what happened was unacceptable.
Our elections run in such a shoddy way where the people are being abused and they're shutting down and sabotaging election day voting.
And one of my first things was going to be to take and have you and Karen help with a task force to get the word out.
I want to thank you for being here with us on the show today.
You're always in our prayers, as is Tyler.
I know he's looking down on you, so proud of the work you are doing.
Thank you for joining us today, both you, Clark, and Karen.
He's proud of you too, Kerry.
He's very proud of you.
Looking down and thanking you for all you're doing and you continue to do.
Thank you.
Bless you.
God bless you.
God bless you both.
Well, we're kind of all over the place.
We're talking about the border.
We're talking about our elections.
All of these issues are of utmost importance to the American voter.
And when we're talking about being on the right side of all of these issues in the Republican Party, yet we're seeing race after race, election after election, go into the hands of terrible candidates that they're rolling out on the Democrat side, it's making many Republicans say we need new leadership at the RNC.
We talked to Mike Lindell a couple segments ago.
Everyone is talking about replacing Ronna McDaniels.
And what we can do moving forward to strengthen the Republican Party, Harmeet Dhillon, is running to replace Ronna, and she joins us live right now.
Harmeet, thank you for joining us.
Thanks for having me, Carrie.
Well, what made you decide that you wanted to get in this race?
You know, it's kind of a thankless job, I'm assuming, and especially the way things have been running as of late.
Well, Carrie, I'm a lifelong Republican, and I've been on the RNC for six years as a volunteer, and it breaks my heart to see Americans suffering.
I think if the party were doing a better job of up and down, recruiting voters, recruiting candidates, training candidates, raising money and then spending it efficiently, and of course getting the ballots to the ballot boxes, I think that we would have won some of these elections that we lost over the last three election cycles during the tenure of the current leadership.
I see a lot of waste and inefficiency at the RNC.
It's a consultant-driven, top-down organization.
And we are a grassroots, bottom-up, populist party.
So, I'd like to see the party reflect the energy, the vitality, the principles, and the passions and the dreams and the hopes of the American voters who are Republicans.
And I'm not seeing that.
So, that is why, when no other member of the RNC stepped up to challenge Ronna, and she's a nice person, but she's never had a leadership challenge in her four races for chairmanship, I think that Democracy and representative government really demands competition, and may the best person win.
But I'm going up against a big swamp, Kerry.
There's a lot of money involved here.
A lot of promises have been made to delegates to the RNC for their votes.
It's some kind of unseemly stuff, in my opinion.
And so that's what I'm trying to overcome.
But what I see is the people behind me, the people behind change.
And so I'm really excited about this race.
Well, it seems like the RNC has not appreciated the grassroots.
I mean, President Trump did so much to revive the Republican Party, and rather than support that America First movement, we're seeing the RNC kind of keep it at arm's length and try to make sure that they are cozying up to the consultant class and the hardcore Never Trump establishment in so many cases.
How can you Bring the grassroots in and make them, it really should be all about the grassroots, we the people.
Oh, that's easy.
So if you look at the RNC, it's 168 members.
They represent the 50 states and six territories, three from each state.
The vast majority of the members of the RNC are actually pretty grassroots oriented.
I think at least half of them have been elected since Donald Trump's tenure.
And those folks are very much in touch with the grassroots and they're not in favor of the current leadership.
Unless they've been promised something, you know, for their own personal advantage.
And so the problem is really that it's not even just the members of the RNC, but there's a whole entrenched bureaucracy there.
There are consultants who are paid by the RNC who are whipping votes for the current leadership.
There are employees of the RNC who are whipping votes for the current leadership.
Naturally, they don't want to give up their cozy arrangements that are frankly not what, you know, you or I as business people would pay for in a business.
And so that's what's at stake.
It's kind of parallel to what is going on with some of these America First candidates.
They're going in saying, we want to shake things up.
We want to stop the status quo.
And the status quo rises up and fights back.
While we, the America First candidate, are rising up for the American people, they're rising up for the status quo.
And that's a difficult place to be because there's a lot of power in that.
I wish you well, Harmeet, and I know it's going to be a battle, but I know that you are a strong woman and a smart woman and will do great things.
So let us know where we can find you real quick if people want to learn more about you.
Sure.
On Twitter and Instagram, I'm at P-N-J-A-B-A-N, and people can reach me at my law firm, DylanLaw.com.
Thank you.
All right.
Thank you so much, Harmeet.
We will talk to you later, and we will be right back.
Stick around.
Thank you.
Welcome back to America First with our very special guest host, none other than Carrie Lake.
Thank you, Sebastian.
So great to be on your show.
And I'm going to remind you of something right now.
If you're looking at the calendar, thinking what's coming up in the next couple of weeks, 17 days until Christmas right now, folks, only 17 days and few things in life are more rewarding than seeing the joy.
on children's faces as they open up a Christmas present from a parent, knowing that their mom and dad cared enough to select it just for them.
But when a parent is in prison, that can be especially challenging.
And that's where Prison Fellowship's Angel Tree program steps in.
Your donations make it possible for a prisoner's child to actually receive a gift from their parent, a personalized note from mom or dad, and access to a Bible in either English or Spanish.
Last year, the Angel Tree Program blessed over 300,000 children of prisoners all over America.
Here are just two of them, Elana and Quinton, telling what they loved most about being part of Angel Tree Christmas.
Spending time with my family and knowing that my dad cares.
He's sending me all these gifts thanks to you, and I really like to thank you for it.
I like the presents that my dad sent me.
I know that you guys care and he cares, so I just want to thank you for that, and I love Christmas.
Thank you, Angel Tree, for doing all that you do, because you don't have to do this, but you choose to do it, and I really appreciate it.
And now it's your turn to share the love of Christ through a donation to our Angel Tree campaign.
Just go to SebGorka.com and click on the Angel Tree banner.

888-206-2794.
And thank you for joining Dr. Gorka's campaign to help prison fellowship.
Such a wonderful thing.
Wonderful thing when you make a donation like that.
So thank you.
Well, I can't believe we're almost two hours into the show.
America First with Sev Gorka, and we have so much more coming up.
A lot of people outside of Arizona are paying attention to what happened in our election.
We had the biggest movement we'd ever seen in this entire country.
It was much like President Trump's movement in Arizona.
And it had spread to all 50 states.
I only know that because as I've traveled outside of Arizona, so many people stop me and say, I am on your mama bear movement.
I'm a papa bear.
We got to save our kids.
And thank you for running for office as a regular citizen.
We're going to tell you what happened on election day here in Arizona.
So many things went wrong, a sabotage of election day voting.
We're going to lay it all out for you, lay it down and show you what's happening because the fake news media is not covering it and it is the biggest story of our time.
That's what's coming up in the next hour.
Stick around on America First with Sebastian Gorka.
The End
She's a freedom fighter.
She's a patriot.
She is pure MAGA through and through.
Welcome to our guest host, Carrie Lake.
All right, MAGA, all the way.
We are America first.
It is the only way out of the mess we're in.
And we drive the rhinos crazy, don't we?
They could not stop our movement.
And so they had to sabotage election day, pull a bunch of shenanigans.
And we've seen it.
We saw what happened in 2020.
You can't stop the America First movement unless you cheat, unless you rig an election.
And they've done it and they continue to do it.
And until we stand up and say, no, we want honest elections, it will continue to happen.
Let me tell you a little bit about the election here in Arizona.
For those of you who don't know, Sebastian's off today.
He offered me a great opportunity to fill in on his program.
And when I had the wonderful opportunity to Appear with him on this program.
I've always appreciated the wonderful listeners and viewers.
So thank you for all of you joining us.
We have a movement in Arizona that was so powerful and so strong.
Regular, everyday folks who'd never been involved in politics came forward and got involved in our America First, Arizona First movement as I ran for governor here in Arizona.
I spent 27 years covering this great state as an honest journalist.
And during COVID, I walked away from my job and said, the journalism, the field of journalism has become nothing more than propaganda.
So I stepped away from my career, my job, my paycheck into the great unknown and truly prayed to God and said, leave me in the direction you want me to go.
And it was amazing.
The people of Arizona started reaching out to me saying, please run for office.
We need someone who understands the state.
Who understands the people, who loves Arizona to represent us.
And we started an incredible movement here.
And I'll tell you what happened on November 8th, Election Day.
It was outrageous.
Everyone knew that our supporters were going to show up on Election Day to vote.
And they showed up in mass, in huge numbers.
And immediately on election day, we noticed problems.
The machinery wasn't working.
The equipment wasn't working.
The tabulators went down.
The printers didn't have toner in them.
Lines formed and people were unable to vote.
They were disenfranchised.
When they got up to finally be able to vote and filled out their ballots, which some of them weren't even printed properly because of a lack of toner, In the printers, the ballots would not go into the tabulator machines.
They were told to put them in door three, where they would be counted later.
Now, you might be asking, how does this happen?
Isn't it a Republican running Maricopa County elections?
Well, yes, indeed, it is.
A man by the name of Stephen Richer, the county recorder who runs our Maricopa County elections, is actually one of those Republicans who really doesn't like America First candidates.
As a matter of fact, the man controlling Maricopa County elections, 62% of the state resides, it's one of those mega counties, not MAGA, it's also MAGA though as well.
He decided to really pull out all of the shenanigans on election day.
And we had 63% of polling locations on election day that were inoperational or the equipment was not fully functioning.
More than half of the locations had wait lines to vote of one to two hours.
87% of poll watchers and poll workers when they were asked about election day said they were not at all confident in the outcome of the election because of how it was run.
We have a massive movement and the only way to stop it was through sabotage.
I said Stephen Richard, the man who runs Maricopa County elections, he actually started a pack To stop the candidates who were talking about election fraud, such as myself.
And we learned from that PAC that all of the expenditures from his PAC were going to stop one single candidate in Arizona.
Yours truly.
So the man controlling and running the elections is running a PAC to stop me and stop our movement.
Not to mention my opponent is in charge of the entirety of the state elections.
She's Secretary of State and refused to recuse herself.
We have serious problems with the way our elections are run.
Let me just read from some affidavits of people who were taking part in election day voting, which was a massive number of Republicans and independents who showed up.
This man says at seven o'clock.
A marshal announced that voting time was over to the line outside of the building with over a hundred voters still standing in line.
Four or five voters arrived immediately thereafter and were very upset.
One voter came to the side door to speak to a supervisor.
He was shouting that he's being disenfranchised, that he's voted for 20 years without a problem, but he couldn't find a parking spot and went to the wrong side of the building.
The voter appeared again at the back door.
The inspector called police on the voter and the police escorted him out.
These lines of one to two hours were too long for many voters.
This woman who has been voting for decades said she showed up at the closest voting center to her house.
She said in the parking lot, there were no parking spaces available and the line was moving very slowly.
So she decided to come back later.
She looked at the Arizona election website And the only other polling place that she could go to was 20 miles away.
She said that the website reported lines of 350 to 400 people with an estimated two to three hour wait to vote.
She said, I didn't feel my body could stand in line for two to three hours.
She went to another location at the end of the day, and the line of people waiting to vote was extraordinarily long.
She estimated the line of people voting to be a mile long down the street.
There was no sidewalk I didn't believe my body could handle waiting in that line for more than two hours, so I drove home.
I went to the election website again to see if the line at my original spot was any shorter, and she found out that it was 110 people in line.
She said it was not feasible for me to vote.
I ended up not being able to vote.
For the first time since 1981, this happened to thousands of people across Arizona.
What happened was unacceptable, and we cannot allow this to stand.
The people of Arizona know that the sabotage of Election Day voting with shenanigans across our state was unacceptable, and that's why I'm fighting it.
We have a movement here in Arizona.
It's still just as strong today.
People in Arizona want common sense solutions.
I ran against an opponent who didn't even show up to campaign.
She wouldn't debate.
She wouldn't talk about her solutions for Arizona, because frankly, the Democrat Party doesn't have solutions.
Their idea is to churn out terrible candidates and then work to ballot harvest or collect ballots or send out so many mail-in ballots that they're out there easily to collect and easy to throw into the system to count.
Whereas Republicans have been trying to put great ideas out, great candidates, great policy.
And we have to work to restore honesty to our elections.
It's one of the top issues facing our country right now.
And I just want the people out there to know if you're watching or listening to the show today and you're feeling disheartened and wondering where our country is going, I know it's easy to throw up your hands and say, I'm done.
I can't do the fight anymore.
God did not place us here because we're weak.
God did not put us in this game.
Imagine we're in the Super Bowl and we're in overtime.
You don't walk off the field in overtime.
I know it's not easy.
I know the difficulties that we have to work on to improve here in our country.
Sometimes it makes you want to just put your head under a pillow and keep sleeping.
But we have to wake people up and talk about these issues.
It's of great importance.
So coming up, I'm going to be talking to a great journalist by the name of Jordan Conradson who's been covering Arizona.
I think he's coming up when?
In the next half an hour?
A little bit later in the program.
Just to tell you how sick our elections are here, the county recorder who is in charge of our Maricopa County elections actually banned this reporter from the press conferences to talk about what happened in our elections.
We know that Katie Hobbs office is what was working with Twitter.
To take down tweets that talked about our elections, our federal government, the FBI, working against the people of this great country to censor us, to stop our freedom of speech when it comes to social media and our ability to get our ideas out, to share our concerns.
They're stopping us when it comes to our voice on social media, and they're trying to stop us when it comes to our very precious voice at the ballot box, our sacred vote.
So we're going to have an Arizona voter join us a little bit later in the program and talk about the issues that that voter faced.
And Ned Ryan is going to be talking about this new kind of philosophy that's being floated out that the Republican Party has to get better at ballot chasing.
Like the Democrats.
Now, we heard earlier from Mike Lindell, who said he doesn't like that idea.
He wants to work at reforming our elections.
But there are many Republicans saying, until we can reform our elections, restore faith, and bring back honesty and transparency, we got to play dirty like the Democrats do.
So we'll talk about that.
But in the meantime, let's go to a call.
I know we have a lot of you who've been listening for the past couple of hours at us talk about all of the big issues facing Americans.
Let's pull in a quick caller about the elections.
Do we have a caller on the line?
Yeah, you do.
Hello, Governor.
Hi.
Hello.
Thank you for joining us.
Hi, Governor Lake.
Hello.
They would not have done what they did unless they had an escape plan.
They know what you're going to file.
They know what judge it's going to have.
They're going to try to be sympathetic with you, but you're going to get, I hope you do, but here's what they're not expecting.
Two people, two citizens from Arizona, unrepresented by an attorney, go in and file a class action suit in federal court that their constitutional right to vote was violated.
Two people make up a class, and all they have to ask for is for an emergency order for it to be certified a class, and number two, that they get five days for them and the class to submit a paper ballot.
Great idea.
If they can hold up voting for a month, they can give people five days.
All right.
I think it's a great idea.
We'll come back and talk more about it when we come back on America First with Sebastian Gorka.
Thank you.
none other than Carrie Lake. - Oh.
I love that music from Grease, his kid of the 70s and 80s.
I appreciate that so much.
Well, it's so good to be here with you on America First.
We were just talking to Phil from Philly, and he gave us a great idea.
He doesn't have a lot of faith in the judicial system.
I don't blame him.
We've seen a lot go on.
I had a lawsuit five months ago where I was suing to get rid of these electronic voting machines because I said they're not reliable.
We don't know how they work.
They use software and components made by our enemies.
And it was thrown out on standing.
It's in appeal right now.
But again, I was right.
We were right.
These machines are not reliable.
We saw it on election day here in Arizona and across the country.
These machines failed and they didn't work.
And our election officials are not, I don't know if it's maliciousness or incompetence or a combination of both.
But let's go to Phil from Philly.
You have an idea, Phil.
You said you don't have a lot of faith in the lawsuits, which we're filing one on Friday.
Your idea is what?
is to get, not we the people, but we the class action people.
It only takes two people to represent a class.
Two Arizonans have to come together to go down to federal court, spend a couple hundred bucks, let them know that their constitutional right to vote was violated on November 8th.
They have to ask for it to be certified as a class action, and they need to have a five-day window to cast their ballot for themselves and the class that they represent.
You'll pull 100,000 votes within five days, and you will walk to the governor's mansion in January.
But they may have to ask for a dollar amount to go with the case.
So have them ask for a trillion dollars in damages.
And after it settles in your end, they'll settle for a dollar.
Whatever we have to do, they're not expecting this.
They're not expecting a federal judge to take it out of the hands of the state and say, you violated these constitutional rights to vote.
They got five days to vote.
If you could take a month to count, I'm giving these people five days to cast their ballot.
Interesting.
You know, so many people have reached out to me with ideas.
Are you pursuing this?
Will you be pursuing that?
What about this idea?
And I always say, look, I am filing a lawsuit.
We're filing it on Friday, but other people can file lawsuits as well.
A lot of people were wronged in what happened on Election Day.
They were disenfranchised.
They were abused.
They chose to vote on Election Day, and they were punished for doing so.
And it's wrong what happened, and we must stand up and fight at this moment.
It is critical for the survival of our country.
I really appreciate it, Phil.
A great idea.
And anybody out there listening, appreciate your time, Phil.
So, you know, we talk about what happened with our elections and how the Democrats have always had a ballot-cuttering situation where they chase the ballots.
And what we see with Republicans is they put forth great candidates and great ideas, and they work on a broader sense to improve society.
And many people are now saying, we need to put less emphasis on great candidates and more emphasis on playing the cheating game like the Democrats do where they ballot harvest or ballot gather.
I'm much more inclined to say, let's stick to our principles and do the right thing.
But until we can get our elections figured out and restore honesty, what do we do?
How do we win elections?
And for that, we go to Ned Ryan with American Majority.
I'm sorry, Ned.
I'm sorry, Ned.
Hello, Ned.
How are you?
Thanks for joining us.
What are your ideas for how we can resolve this issue?
What needs to be done to restore sanity in our election system?
Well, Kerry, I've got some pretty specific ideas on this and have written some pieces at American Greatness, got another one coming out.
You know, in principle, I totally agree that we need to go to paper ballots, Election Day only, photo ID, all of those things.
But in the short term, I don't know how you change the laws and the rules before 2024.
And so I've been making the argument where legal, we should actually use all of these things, these tools and resources that are at our disposal.
And that includes absentee ballot chase, that includes ballot harvesting, that includes all of these things that I think Democrats have perfected in their ballots out ballot machine.
And so I think it's one of those things, it's going to be a little bit of a mental block to get past for people.
But I think it's one of the things we have to do.
Uh, and if we don't do it, I honestly do not see a way for us to actually win in 2024 until we actually invest real time and effort into what I call the ballot out ballot in machine.
Well, I mean, I do hear you on that.
It's disappointing, though, as an America First candidate, and I feel that President Trump's movement, America First, brought in the grassroots.
He brought more people out to vote than we've ever seen.
It's been an amazing movement, and there's been this resistance from the Never Trumpers and some people in the establishment class who just don't want it.
And to me, I think one of the first things we should work on is a real come to Jesus with that part of the Republican Party.
You got to get along.
You got to get along with these people who want the best for this country.
Do you think enough is being done to get the establishment class to fall in line?
It's almost as if they're giddy that the America First candidates lost.
Well, I think we have to accept that they are They are not our friends.
They will never be our friends.
Mitch McConnell is never going to be a friend of America.
First, you will always be an enemy.
And I think it is one of those things we have to disabuse ourselves that they are actually going to play ball with us.
And it's one of those things where I, you know, constantly trained in American majority, but say this constantly on TV and off edge.
The party is what people say it is, and the people who say it is are those that show up at conventions and win primaries.
And eventually we have to buy Force of will.
Turn the Republican Party into an America first by continuing to win, by continuing to be the precinct chairs, the state chairs, the committee people, until we actually take over the party.
They're never going to be on our team, Kerry.
And I think we should acknowledge that and realize we're kind of fighting a war on two fronts.
We're fighting on American left, and we're fighting the very anti-America first Republican establishment.
And, you know, it has to be including a hostile takeover of the RNC and the various party apparatus so that it becomes America First Party apparatus, so that we turn the Republican Party into an America First Party.
And so I think that's part of it, and just acknowledging and understanding there's never really going to be detente with these people.
We should acknowledge that, and we should understand moving forward for the next few election cycles, it's always going to be this way.
And then we have to, once we take Control of the party structure actually implement a plan that gives us political power.
I mean, this is the one thing carry.
I understand people's hesitation on my ballot out ballot in machine.
But until we have political power, we cannot change the rules of the game.
We have to play the game by the current rules.
Once we win the game, we can change the rules to the rules that we want to see happen.
So that's that's really what I think the next, especially the next two years are about.
But I would argue the next few election cycles are about.
Yeah, it's a difficult pill to swallow.
It's kind of like we're in guerrilla warfare here, and we have to win the battle.
And we can't win it on some imaginary battlefield that we think it is.
And it's really hard for me to grasp because I got into politics when the people of Arizona asked me to run.
And so I'm not used to the swampy world of politics.
And I want to just push great policies and bring people in and win hearts and minds.
But we do have to win in order to get in there and clean things up.
So I do hear you on that.
We've got just a few minutes left.
How can people find you if they want to learn more about American majority?
They can find me at AmericanMajority.org.
Obviously, they can follow me on Twitter at Ned Ryan.
It's R-Y-U-N.
But, Kerry, I think this is one of the things, as we draw more people in, and Donald Trump and others have drawn more people in who were never involved before, is really, truly bringing them up to speed and helping them understand this is how politics works.
We should play the game, and we should actually win the internal politics to win the political battle overall.
That's right.
Well, we're tough people.
We can stay in this fight.
We must stay in this fight.
Thank you, Ned.
We're going to take a quick break here on America First with Sebastian Gorka.
Stick around. Stick around.
Stick around.
Welcome back to America First with our very special guest host, none other than Carrie Lake.
Oh.
Oh, it's so good to be here.
Thank you, Sebastian, for having me fill in for you while you're out.
It's been great.
We've been on for a couple of hours now and talking about all the main issues of the day.
And so many of them are centered right here in Arizona, where I ran for governor and led an amazing movement of We the People.
And, you know, I just, I refuse the narrative that America First is a dying breed and a dying brand.
It is not.
The people of this country demand America First policies.
They want America First policies.
But our political leaders did not have the will or the desire to repair and restore faith to our elections.
And we've seen it playing out over this election midterm.
Especially important here in Maricopa County, in Arizona, where our elections are run like we're in some third world nation, where we vote for a month and we count votes for half a month.
And me running against a candidate in Katie Hobbs, who was less courageous than even John Fetterman.
Katie Hobbs wouldn't show up to debate.
She was less articulate than people like Kamala Harris and Joe Biden, afraid to speak.
And such a horrible candidate.
And yet the Democrats know how to grab ballots and chase ballots.
And when they're running the elections the way they run elections in Arizona, America first or Republican candidates will struggle.
And so we need to work and decide as Americans if we truly do want honest elections.
And this is why come this Friday, we'll be filing a challenge in our election.
In Arizona, you can't challenge an election until it's been certified.
And we saw this week as Katie Hobbs certified her own election that was run as they would, like I said, in a banana republic.
So let's talk a little bit about what happened in our elections.
We've got Sherry Hilder on the line.
She went to vote on election day and was disenfranchised.
We had lines in Maricopa County that were up to five hours long that snaked around buildings for a mile.
It was unbelievable.
There was no parking because the lines were so big.
People just gave up on voting.
And the person running Maricopa County elections knew that the America First voters, our supporters, were showing up on election day.
And first things first, election day morning, all the equipment seemed to malfunction.
More than 60 percent of the polling places had tabulators and ballot printers that did not work.
And it really saw chaos ensue and Sherry got caught up in it.
She joins us now live.
Sherry, welcome to America First.
Thank you so much for joining us.
Tell us what happened to you in Maricopa County on election day.
Hi.
Yes, it was.
Yeah, it was interesting.
I went to the polling station with a friend of mine and her husband.
It was around 11 noon around that time and We went in.
I went in.
I filled out my ballot.
I went over.
It went through fine.
I thought everything was fine.
And so I was just standing there waiting for them.
And while I was standing there, right next to where the tabulating machines were, people were coming up.
And there was a gentleman that came up, and he did say, I hope it goes through this time.
And I was still just standing there, and his did go through, but I don't know how many times he had sent it through.
But a few minutes later, a woman came up, and she was quite upset, and she said, I hope it goes through this time.
This is the seventh time I'm sending it through.
Uh, and I was like, whoa.
Now, I did notice, and I know I probably shouldn't have been looking, but I was standing right next to the tabulating machine, so you really could see everybody's ballot.
I mean, obviously.
I mean, it was right there, and I knew, because I had filled out my ballot, that the very first name on the ballot was Blake Masters.
And it was very easy to see every single ballot that was coming up there.
I mean, there must have been 20-25 people that came up while I was standing there.
Every single one of them had Blake Masters circled on their ballot.
And I mean, I didn't look any further than that, but I could notice that.
And I thought, wow, okay, this is, you know, okay.
But I don't know, my girlfriend came up, hers went through, but then her husband, five times before it would take his.
So I don't know what is going on, but I just know that went on, and then I remember in the 2020 election, I remember going to cast a ballot with my daughter, and we pulled up to the parking lot, and then literally there were people in the parking lot, there was a table set up, They didn't have water.
They were asking people if they had water.
But they also had a stack of ballots.
And before we could even open our door, they were at the car, and we opened the doors, and there was two girls, and they said, yes, we're here to help people fill out their ballot.
If you'd like us to help you, we can fill them out, and we could even take them in for you.
And I looked at my daughter, we looked at each other like, what is going on?
And I just said to the girl, no, I think we can do this.
You know, we can go in and do it on our own.
Sherry, thank you so much for your time.
So many people disenfranchised in Arizona and when things go wrong in Maricopa County, it affects all the other counties, even counties where things were run properly.
We're going to take a quick break.
We'll be back with a reporter who was banned from covering the elections.
We'll tell you all about it coming up.
We'll tell you all about it coming up.
We'll tell you all about it coming up.
We'll tell you all about it coming up.
We'll tell you all about it coming up.
We'll tell you all about it coming up.
We'll tell you all about it coming up.
We'll tell you all about it coming up.
We'll tell you all about it coming up.
We'll tell you all about it coming up.
A very special guest host, Oh, it's been such a pleasure to fill in for Sebastian Gorka today on America First.
And America First is the way to go when you want to see the problems that we've been facing for so long.
We want to see solutions to those problems.
And when you put America first, your own citizens first, your country first, that's how you solve these problems, whether it be problems at the border, problems with our children's education, the crime problem, the economy problem, manufacturing, and our elections.
And we have terribly run elections, not just terribly run, but in many cases, rigged elections.
We saw it in 2020.
In 2022, here in Arizona, what they did to the voters who chose to vote on Election Day was abusive.
They disenfranchised, they discriminated against election day voters.
And one great journalist who's been covering this all along is Jordan Conrad said with a gateway pundit, I'm so glad you can join us, Jordan.
Boy, you've been through a lot.
They try to silence the voters when it comes to speaking out against our elections in any way, shape or form by censoring them on social media.
And then they try to stop reporters such as yourself from even covering these terribly botched elections by keeping you away from the story.
And they did that here in Maricopa County.
Tell people what they did to you.
That's right.
Thank you for having me, Kerry.
So what happened early on before the election, they actually instituted this new criteria for reporters who want to cover elections-related conferences, press conferences in Maricopa County.
And these Ridiculous requirements.
It was mostly centered around the bias of your reporting, which as we know, they're allowing CNN, they're allowing AZ Republic, AZ Central into these press briefings.
So it had nothing to do with the bias whatsoever.
But in reality, that's a content-based restriction, which Thankfully, the Ninth Circuit Court just ruled in our favor that they are not allowed to restrict me based on my content.
So they didn't want me in there asking real tough questions about what was going on in our election.
And as we saw on election day with over 30%, 60% of polling locations seeing issues such as printers, voting machine failures, printer malfunctions, all this crazy stuff, long, long lines.
They don't want to answer real questions about those issues.
You know what it tells me, Jordan?
It tells me that they knew that they were going to poll something and they didn't want to have anybody asking the tough questions because all these press conferences, it was like a love fest with a bunch of reporters who were totally fine with watching our elections being run like they're run in third world countries.
They kept out any reporter who would ask a tough question such as yourself.
You actually, I don't know if we have the video, you tried to get in to cover some of these press conferences And the sheriffs actually kicked you out.
Do we have that video guys?
I don't know if we have it, but you can talk a little bit about what happened when you showed up.
Yeah, so I showed up with a cease and desist order from our attorneys saying, look, we're going to sue you guys if you don't let our reporter into these press conferences.
So I showed up with the filing on hand, ready to show them, look, this is going to be the consequence of not letting me in.
So you can give me a press credential now or you can continue to not let me in.
And they chose to continue to not let me in.
They even brought out law enforcement to intimidate myself and Ben Burquam.
And kick us off of the property.
When we asked, is this not public property?
They told us, no, you can go to the free speech zone over there.
And really what our understanding is, is that the public property outside of Maricopa County Tabulation Center was a free speech zone, but apparently not.
The public information office.
You fighting this in court, it takes time.
And in that time, the coverage, the honest coverage, is unable to get out to the people.
And that's what they are hoping for.
They're hoping that the real story, the real truth, never makes it to the people.
And only this biased garbage that the fake news is pushing makes it into the ears of the people.
And so you can never get back that time and the coverage that was so needed at that time.
What did the judge say in the Ninth Circuit when he sided with you?
He said that they can't prevent me from attending the press conferences.
Sure, they can not answer my questions, but they just can't do that.
They can't use this content-based restriction to suppress my First Amendment.
And the problem here is that it is irreparable harm.
We can't get back those press conferences that we missed.
We can't get back that time where the news cycle was so big surrounding these Massive errors and issues on election day.
I'll remind you an election that Katie Hobbs ran herself, an election that Katie Hobbs was down 11 points in the polls in just before the election.
So, you know, the fact that we're now allowed into the building doesn't mean crap if they're not going to be holding more press conferences.
And it's my assumption that they might intentionally not hold another press conference in order to It's such a charade what they're doing.
The people are on it.
Katie Hobbs knows that she didn't win this.
Katie Hobbs knows that the people don't like what she's pushing.
And it goes to show, Jordan, how big our movement was.
You covered it.
The people of Arizona are Sickened by what happened, and that's why I'm staying in it and filing a lawsuit this Friday.
Tell people around the country watching what kind of a movement you witnessed as you were watching it.
It's not about me, it's about We The People.
I just happened to be part of this with We The People.
Explain what you saw in covering this.
100%, you're right.
What I saw covering this reminded me of the 2020 election, where President Trump had 90-mile car parades in his favor, supporting him, trying to—of patriots, regular grassroots patriots trying to show their support for Donald Trump.
And what we saw thereafter was an obviously corrupt election, where we know for a fact Joe Biden didn't win.
But another interesting, yeah, the same thing as in 2020, you were pulling in crowds of thousands of people, thousands of patriots, showing up to your rallies.
President Trump held rallies out here with tens of thousands of people.
And Katie Hobbs, she could only muster, what, a hundred, couple hundred people at any of her biggest events.
I think I saw 10.
Maybe the one with Obama there, she drew a couple hundred, but I don't know if the draw was her.
We're going to take a break.
I want you to stay back for the next segment just to wrap things up and talk about why the rest of the media won't cover what they actually saw on the ground with this movement.
They act like it didn't exist.
And if you think that deep down, they know they're liars.
We're coming back after a quick break with Jordan Conradson.
And thank you, Jordan.
To wrap with you, but I just.
Thank you.
Welcome back to America First with our very special guest host, none other than Carrie Lake.
Oh, thank you, Sebastian.
I'll tell you what, time flies when you're having a good time and talking to patriots, and time flies.
Until Christmas, only 17 days and few things in life are more rewarding than seeing the joy on children's faces as they open a gift, a Christmas present from a parent, knowing their mom or dad cared enough to select it just for them.
But when a parent is in prison, that can be especially challenging, and that's where Prison Fellowship's Angel Tree program steps in.
Your donations make it possible for a prisoner's child to actually receive a gift from their parent, personalized with a note from mom or dad and access to a Bible in either English or Spanish.
Last year, the Angel Tree program blessed over 300,000 children of prisoners all over America.
Here are just two of them, Alana and Quintin, telling what they loved most about being part of the Angel Tree Christmas program.
Spending time with my family and knowing that my dad cares.
He's sending me all these gifts thanks to you, and I really like to thank you for it.
I like the presents that my dad sent me.
I know that you guys care and he cares, so I just want to thank you for that, and I love presents.
Thank you, Angel Tree, for doing all that you do, because you don't have to do this, but you choose to do it, and I really appreciate it.
That's great.
And now it's your turn to share the love of Christ through a donation to Angel Tree Campaign.
Go to SebGorka.com and click on Angel Tree, the banner there.
For a gift of just $125, you can bless five children of prisoners with personalized Christmas gifts, a personal note from their parent.
Plus, every Angel Tree family is also given access to a free, easy-to-read copy of the Bible in English or Spanish.

And thank you for joining Dr. Gorka's campaign to help prison fellowship.
Got Jordan Conradson rejoining us here this segment.
He was banned from covering the botched sham election in Maricopa County in Arizona because he's a conservative Journalist who actually does a good job and asks tough questions.
You know, you covered our race and our campaign.
You know it was a movement unlike we've ever seen in Arizona.
And you covered it fairly.
But I wonder if these other biased journalists, do they believe what they're writing?
Or do you think they're just brainwashed beyond a repair?
You know, Kerry, at times I really can't tell.
We had many journalists asking you what you would think of a 2024 vice presidential run.
So here's the thing.
They know that you are powerful enough as a politician to get out there, get the support, get the votes that you would need to actually become the vice president.
Tough enough to go to D.C.
But at the same time, they're covering you as this lunatic.
They're making you out to look like the most evil person in Arizona, like you're going to destroy our state, when in fact the real person who's going to destroy our state is Katie Hobbs.
So I couldn't tell you if they're malicious in their journalism or if they're just stupid.
Well, we need a lot more Jordan Conrad since the...
Thank you so much, Jordan.
And I want to thank everybody out there watching America First with Sebastian Gorka, and I want to thank Seb for inviting me on.
He'll be back on Friday, and I will be launching my lawsuit against the county of Maricopa on Friday as well.
