Corey Laker challenges Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, alleging a conflict of interest where she certifies her own results while counting opponents' votes. Laker plans a Supreme Court appeal or a recall election requiring 600,000 signatures, citing alleged Twitter censorship and slow Maricopa County ballot counts. The hosts argue Hobbs failed to recuse herself despite opposing a Trump-endorsed candidate, predicting Laker will successfully remove her before her term ends through this aggressive legal and political strategy.

Arizona Election Battle00:01:22
Yeah, got a new show for y'all.
We got a damn good show brewing in Arizona between Curry Lake and Katie Hobbs.
Curry Lake ain't giving up.
Yeah, she's a fighter.
She's a stallion.
She look like a stallion, huh?
Yeah.
Hey, that Katie Hobbs, this ain't over.
Yeah.
You thought you was just going to prance your ass into the governor's office before the fight and certify your own damn election?
Don't even put your pictures down on the table.
All right?
Don't even move all your stuff in.
Leave them damn tables blank.
Don't bring in no furniture, no nothing.
Yeah.
Bring you a damn, a damn fold out, Charlie.
Yeah, act like when I got hired at a job with 90-day probation.
Yeah.
Them first 90 days, I ain't put no pictures up at my desk.
Actually, you're on six-month probation.
Yeah, because I remember when I started a new job, 90-day probation, I didn't want to put the pictures up because if they let you go, you got to come in there and take all your pictures down.
Everybody looking at you.
Yeah, they just fired that nigga.
Hey, Keith, what happened, man?
I see you taking your pictures down.
Yeah, white supremacy.
They fired because I was black.
But anyway, this is what's going down in Arizona.
It's going down.
I mean, this is...
I mean, I thought this stuff happens in third world countries, man.
Supreme Court Contingency Plan00:02:29
Yeah, I mean, if it's not enough that you're certain...
Katie Hobbs, right?
She's the Secretary of State.
Which means she certifies her own elections and she even counts.
Listen now, she's in charge of counting her opponents.
Making sure the votes are counted.
Yeah.
Ain't that a conflict of interest if I'm trying to become governor?
They should have had you step down so it look so it would at least look like the damn elections are fair and open and honest.
How can it be an open and fair and honest election if you in charge of counting your opponents' votes and you're certifying your election?
That is a huge red flag.
So Kerry Lake says she's going to take this to the Supreme Court.
She's going to Supreme Court this.
Yeah, but Supreme Court ain't trying to hear this.
Yeah, they ain't going to...
I don't think the Supreme Court, I mean, after the whole Trump debacle and I don't think the Supreme Court is in the business of overturning elections.
Yeah, they're going to do is, Keith.
This is what's going to happen.
Yeah.
How you doing, Carrie?
Yep.
Here's the paper.
This is baseless.
Yeah, it's baseless.
Get this shit out of my office.
Get out of here.
It's unfounded.
It's baseless.
You have no leg to stand on.
I mean, even though it's, even though there is some merit to what you're doing.
Oh, it's a lot of merit.
Yeah, but the Supreme Court don't want to be in the business of overthrowing elections.
And you know, if they step in and do something to overturn what happened in Arizona, everybody's going to say it's a threat to our democracy.
Them damn Trump judges threw it out and they're still in the election.
It's a slippery slope, too.
Yeah.
You know, because if a Republican does, you know a damn Democrat's going to do it.
I mean, I think you should if you think it's, it wasn't, you didn't get your fair shaken in any election.
But, you know, you know how mainstream media on the left and right, they might want to spend things a different way.
I mean, for the most part, I believe in what I'm hearing on the right.
But the things I hear on the left is like delusional.
Yeah, but I think it's a waste of time, but you got to explore every avenue.
But you have another way.
Where there's a will, there's a way.
Where'd I get that from?
It sounds religious.
Where there's a will, there's a way.
Yeah, so what they're doing in Arizona also is they got this contingency plan, see?
A contingency plan?
Yeah, they got a contingency plan.
If this Supreme Court stuff don't work out.
They got plan B.
They got plan B. If plan A don't work out, they got plan B. Plan B gonna work.
They got plan B, Katie.
The Recall Strategy00:07:33
Yeah, get your arm off of me.
See, this is what plan B is, right?
It's called a recall.
Recall.
Recall.
The word for the day, kids, is recall.
Right?
Go to the election site.
What?
The election site?
The Secretary of State.
Right?
A recall is a procedure that allows citizens to remove and replace a public official.
That's you, Katie Hobbs.
Before the end of their term in office, a recall may commence after an individual has been in office for six months.
You got to wait six months.
That's going to be enough time to get them signatures.
We got six months to get them damn signatures.
So, Katie, don't even put your pictures up of your family.
Don't put no flowers at your desk.
Next six months, these Republicans, these damn election deniers, we getting signatures, bitch.
Go back to the site and go down to the signatures.
Right now, they're already getting a petition together, right?
And this is how many signatures you got to get to recall this woman.
Signatures required.
25% off all votes cast at the last election for all candidates for office held by that elected official.
So see that right there?
0.25 of the overall votes.
There's only one office involved, so it's just one.
So bring up the site how many total votes came in in Arizona.
Let's get these counts going.
Man, look at that avatar, Carrie Lake, man.
She is just, she is just amazing.
Look at her.
That looked like a governor.
I don't know what the hell that is on the left.
That looks like a communist dictator.
Yeah, so she won by 17,000 votes.
That's it.
17,000?
That's a small room for everyone.
Yeah, both of them pretty much got 50% of the vote.
But anyway, so that comes out to what, 2.5 million or something roughly.
Yeah, so 25%.
About 600,000.
Yeah, so 25% signatures.
That's around $650,000.
So you take $650,000, divide that by six months.
What is that?
How many signatures do we need per month, man?
About 100.
Which is all you need is 650,000 signatures.
All you need is half the people that voted for Kerry Lake?
Yeah, to sign it.
And they already standing in line waiting to sign.
I think they already got the signatures, Katie.
They already got the signatures.
So do not put your pictures at your desk.
Yeah, don't put none of that crazy shit at your desk, man.
So this time around, this election, like what happened in Maricopa County?
Yeah.
Damn, machines ain't working, stuff going wrong, you can't tabulate the votes.
People...
Let me say something.
Now, Kerry Lake, she certified on election.
She's Secretary of State, right?
That's it, right?
Secretary of State?
Right?
She counted her own opponents' votes.
You would think that would be enough power for her, right?
You would think.
She's in charge of the entire election.
Yeah.
Right?
You would think, as a Democrat, you can't want any more power than that.
You're certifying your own election.
Over the election, right?
Yeah, you're certifying your own election.
You're in charge of counting your opponents' votes.
But no, she took it a step further.
She was censoring people on Twitter.
Yeah, the Twitter files.
Check out what Tucker Carlson had to say.
Well, in 2021, staffers for the Secretary of State of Arizona, ordered by gubernatorial candidate and then Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, also directed censorship through CISA.
Quote, I am flagging this Twitter account for your review, wrote someone on Hobbes' account to the Center for Internet Security.
CISA was later CC'd on the email.
Why?
Well, according to Hobbes' office, the tweets were, quote, an attempt to further undermine confidence in the election institution in Arizona.
Okay.
So you're not allowed not to have confidence in elections?
Really?
This is the state where the biggest county took more than a week to count the ballots and the printers didn't work on election day, though they worked the day before.
But you're supposed to have total confidence.
In fact, you're commanded to.
And if you don't have confidence, you'll be punished.
The email concluded, quote, thank you for your consideration in reviewing this matter for action.
And of course, Twitter soon censored them.
Thank you.
We will escalate, Twitter replied.
For the fifth time, this isn't just offensive.
This is illegal.
This is a crime.
A crime is being a very serious crime.
A crime against our democracy.
Red flag after red flag.
Yeah.
Now, I know you progressive, you liberals, you're probably pissed.
Oh, we're a threat to democracy.
We're election deniers.
But these are a lot of red flags.
Yeah, this is what they claim Trump did with Russia.
Yeah.
You're colluding with Twitter.
This is what y'all said was happening on Facebook.
Now, it's okay for Twitter to censor people because they're a private company, but when a government official gives Twitter, you know, direction to censor people, that's illegal.
That's a violation of the First Amendment.
This is the state secretary of Arizona who certified hone election.
You think Republicans just going to lay down for you?
If the shoe was on the other foot, would y'all be quiet?
I'm asking you an honest question there, Leftis.
Hell no, you wouldn't be quiet.
You'd be pissed.
Think about this.
Think about this.
Think about what?
Think about this.
It took them over a week to count the votes in Maricopa County.
Why does it take someone over a week to count their opponents' votes?
And it took, and you know, Florida has two, three times the population.
21 million.
They have 21 million population.
Arizona has like 7 million.
So 21 million people voted in, well, the population, whatever.
They counted all their votes the same day.
But it took y'all a week to count them.
But we supposed to believe everything was just fine.
I mean, why didn't this lady recuse herself from that position and just have someone step in?
I mean, she was flexing in front of all of us.
She knows this is a Trump-endors candidate.
She knows Trump does not agree with the elections of 2020.
And that's just another story.
But you should have recused yourself.
But no, you didn't want to do that.
You wanted power with this entire election.
You even wanted power on Twitter, a privately owned platform you got people censored.
I mean, you're the epitome.
You're the definition of a totalitarian dictator.
Damn tyrant.
You're damn tyrant, man.
Damn authoritarian.
I mean, why would you go on Twitter and have people censored just for asking questions or having, you know, reasons?
Having opinions.
Yeah, having opinions.
That wasn't enough for you to be in control of your own election.
No, no, y'all talking shit about Arizona.
No, I ain't going to have this.
I'm going to call my friends over at Twitter and have you removed.
Removed.
I'm going to have you removed.
Removed.
I don't believe in freedom of speech.
I don't believe in First Amendment.
I think it's all bullshit.
That's what I do.
And no, no, no, no.
I'm not going to recuse myself.
This is my state.
This is Teddy Hobbes' country.
No, this shit ain't over.
So we got to put up.
Y'all going to put up with her for like six months in Arizona.
Yeah.
Gives you plenty of time to get them damn signatures, though.
Yeah, I don't think she's going to survive a recall, though.
No.
I think something, I don't know what went wrong.
I know the machines went down.
No, if it takes you a week to count your votes, yeah.
I'm talking about people that went in and actually voted that day.
