Speaker 1 (00:00):
Today, we are talking about Arizona, a battleground state for
the presidency and also for the Senate majority. Both paths
run through the state of Arizona. So we're going to
talk to Carrie Lake. You know who she is. She's
running for Senate in Arizona. We're going to talk to
her about how she sees the election playing out. What
has she seen so far, what are the big issues
(00:21):
dominating her race as she runs for Senate.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Also, while we wait for the verdict.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
From the Trump trial, does she think the outcome of
the verdict will impact the outcome of the election?
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Also, did she watch the Robert De Niro press conference.
I'm going to talk to her about that as well.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
We will get into border security as well, with Arizona
being a border state obviously a big issue in her race.
We'll talk to her about how that's playing out. And
then lastly, the Democrats are trying to use these abortion
ballot initiatives to drive turnout. There's going to be one
in Arizona. How will that play out this election cycle?
All of that and more with Carrie Lake, who's running
(00:59):
for the United States Stay with us well, Carrie, it's
great to have you on. I've had you on before,
but I finally got to meet you. I love meeting you,
so I appreciate you coming back on, and obviously there's
a lot to discuss.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Oh yeah, there's never a dull moment, and I'm thrilled
to be back on. And yes, it was a highlight
meeting you because you know, I've been watching you for
so long and feel like I know you, which is
always the case with those good communicators when someone says
I feel like I know you, so it's great to
meet you in person.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Well, thank you, and I felt the same, you know, Carrie.
Before we get started about the Trump trial and as
we're waiting for a verdict, did you watch the Robert
de Niro press conference?
Speaker 3 (01:46):
I did watch it live, but I caught most of
it afterwards. And oh, man, can you say that Biden
and the left are panicking? They are in an if
you're rolling out nero and he was in having such
a fit and that other cast of characters, I mean,
it was it was insanity and then the car alarm
(02:08):
going off.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
It was a clown show.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Do you think it was malpracticed on behalf of the
Biden campaign or do you think it's just arrogance because
you know, they feel like they can do whatever they want.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
You mean, having that press conference. Yes, I think they're
trying to roll out who they think are heavy hitters,
who they could They're know they're losing the American people.
They know the American people are done with what's going
on the American If you look too in polling, two
thirds of the American people this is Democrats included. I
think this is a witch hunt, this is a weaponization.
(02:42):
This entire trial is out of control and wrong, and
so they know they're losing the American people, and I
think they're.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
Trying to hang on and cling on to that.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Little sliver that still looks to Hollywood, you know, to
get advice or still respects these hulloo stars and still
listens to CNN and sees that as the truth, even
though we know it's a propaganda. They're just trying to
cling on to that little slice that they still have.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
You know, Carrie, we don't have a verdict yet.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
This is twelve pm Eastern on Wednesday. Do you think
the outcome of the verdict will impact the outcome of
this election?
Speaker 3 (03:24):
I think this entire show and it's been a It
has been a show. It's a legal you know, law
fair to the nth degree. Has only helped President Trump
when it comes to the election as far as people
just saying this is ridiculous. Where it has hurt him
and where it's unforgivable and wrong is that it's kept
(03:45):
him off the campaign trail. It's kept our system, you know,
think about the crime in New York. They should be
prosecuting real crime, not a bookkeeping issue. And it's kept
him off the campaign trails, kept him from the American people.
And the crime is that it's election interference. Imagine what
he could be doing if he could be campaigning across
the country. I think by the time the election rolled around,
(04:07):
he'd have such a huge majority that nobody would want
to vote Democrat. But they're trying to keep him trapped
in a courtroom, and I believe they're going to try
try try to find him guilty of this non crime
so they can potentially try to lock him up. Joe
Biden can't win any other way other than to cheat
(04:29):
and lie and weaponize our government, the government that belongs
to we the people, that has been hijacked from we
the people. To weaponize that against his enemies, and if
we allow this to happen as American citizens, it won't
be long before they're.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
Coming after us.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
One thing I noticed, by the way, Lisa, in that
press conference yesterday, did you notice how they were castigating
and attacking Trump supporters. Trump supporters wasn't just Trump. They
were going after Trump supporters, and they want everybody who
supports Trump to be loathed in this country. But I've
(05:02):
got news for them. The majority of the people in
this country do support President Trump. They support President Trump's
policies that help them. They support President Trump's economy that
made everybody richer, made everybody more prosperous, and made the
unemployment levels go down for every sector of our economy.
(05:23):
They support President Trump's foreign policy that was bringing us
world peace, the Abraham Accords. So I think this is
going to backfire in the Democrat Party's face.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
You know. I think the Democrats and the media would
just love the opportunity to attach, you know, convicted felon
labeled to him and try to drive.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
That home with independence.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Hopefully that doesn't work, and hopefully, you know, he's at
least acquitted.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
I think you're right.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
I think that's exactly what they're looking for. They just
want to be able to use those two words in
front of his in front of his name, it's really
President Trump. And they always like to say now, former
President Trump. That's not the protocol.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
By the way, you don't.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Need to put the word former in front of it.
And now they want to be able to say convicted fellain.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
You know, do you think what big concern you know
voters have. Obviously there are a lot of things that
happened in americ Opa on election day during your race.
Are we doing enough as a party to get people
out early to vote, mail in balloting. Are we doing enough?
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Well, I don't know if we're doing enough. I mean,
we're up against a system that has been corrupt for
a long time. We are doing a whole lot more.
We have a lot more boots on the ground. We've
got all hands on deck to throw a few cluchit
cliches in there. And we have a lot of nonprofits
but organizations coming in and saying we're going to knock doors.
We are going to knock doors in these battleground states.
(06:51):
We're going to make sure that low propensity voters who
are registered but don't necessarily show up, actually get those
ballots and turn them in. On voter rolls, if you
don't turn your ballot in, it's detected that it hasn't
been turned in. And if you don't turn it in,
there's a chance somebody else votes for you. And so
we want to make sure that we get everybody who
(07:13):
gets a ballot to turn that ballot in. And twenty
twenty when I ran, there were three hundred thousand Republicans
who didn't turn their ballot in, and we actually had
very high turnout by the way, So I believe we
are going to make this too big to rig, as
President Trump says, We're going to get so many people
out to vote. People are going to want to vote
(07:34):
for a change because they're feeling the effects of bad
policy of corrupt government every single day when they go
to fill up their gas tank and they realize they
can't even get it a quarter of the way or
halfway full for what they used to be able to
fill the whole thing up. They're looking at fast food
now as a luxury because the prices have gotten so high.
(07:55):
Somebody sent me a receipt the other day of a
taco bell receipt when they bought their family dinner, it
was one hundred dollars. We're watching as all of these
restaurants around the country that really cater to the working class,
middle class folks have to shut down and shutter their
stores because the economy is not doing well and people
don't have the disposable income to now take their family
(08:17):
out to eat.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
Once a week.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
And people, because of all of that, and then on
top of it, watching Joe Biden's stoke wars around the
globe are going to be very motivated to show up
and vote.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
We've got more with Carrie Lake, but first, since October seventh,
the attacks on Israel have increased, with the r ON
and its proxies launching an attack of hundreds of drones
and missiles. Israelis are living with the harsh reality of
terror every day. The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews
is on the ground now addressing all urgent needs.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
And that's why I'm partnering with IFCJ today.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
While praying for the best, IFCJ is preparing for the
worst by packing emergency bomb shelter kids that can be
delivered immediately to those of desperate need. Your life saving
donation today will help assemble and place these kits with
enough food and life saving emergency supplies for twenty people
huddled in a bomb shelter. The cost to put together
and distribute these kits is two hundred and ninety dollars each.
(09:10):
Your gift now will help save lives, and thanks to
a matching challenge gift from a generous IFCJ supporter, your
gift will double the impact to help provide twice the support.
The number to call to make your gift is eight
eight eight four eight eight IFCJ. That's eight eight eight
four eight eight IFCJ or four three two five, or
go online to support IFCJ dot org to give. That's
(09:33):
one word support IFCJ dot org. Obviously, Arizona is a
border state, big issue in your race. How have you
witnessed illegal immigration impact the state of Arizona? What have
you seen and how is this playing out in your
race specifically?
Speaker 4 (09:53):
Well, do you have a whole day?
Speaker 2 (09:55):
I mean, if you want to give me, we can
how many sad that you have there?
Speaker 4 (10:00):
I mean where do we begin?
Speaker 3 (10:01):
I mean you you look at the impact that just
look at the economic impact of the millions of people
boring across and ask young people right now trying to
go out and get a house or a apartment, and
they're being price out of a market. When you inject
twelve million people in a very short period of time
into this country, that's twelve million people who are now
(10:22):
competing for housing with American citizens. That's why our rents
are shooting up. At our house prices are shooting up
when you look at just the crime. I mean, we
all know, at least conservatives know about Lake and Riley
because the mainstream media never covered her death. She went
out for a jog in Georgia and was beaten to
death by an illegal immigrant here. And we're watching every
(10:44):
day as hundreds of crimes on American citizens at the
hands of people here illegally happen, Unfortunately aren't covered by
the news. We had one hundred and seventy five thousand
gotaways in one fiscal year coming across our southern border.
These are the people, by the way, who don't want
to be processed by border patrol. Most of the people
pouring across Lisa do want to be processed by border
(11:06):
patrol because then they get their papers, they get their
their health insurance, they get put up, they get told
where to go for housing, how to get services, they
get set up for a job. So the one hundred
and seventy five thousand gotaways are the really truly dangerous,
dangerous ones who don't want to be processed because there's
a very high chance they will be sent back, and
(11:26):
they are roaming in our country right now. I spoke
to a rancher here in the last month. He's right
on the border, he said. Carry every single day I
get reports from the ranch we are we are spotting
or seeing or capturing eight to nine people pouring across
illegally our border, on our property. And these are the godaway.
(11:48):
So they're the dangerous ones, he said. It's particularly alarming
when you see a couple of thirty year old males
with about ten or eleven twelve year old girls. He said,
to put this into perspective, this started the day, almost
the day Joe Biden took office. It was like right
away it started where they started seeing people pour across.
(12:10):
Under President Trump, when we had a secure border, because
he worked so hard to protect us, he said, we
would see eight to nine a year. Now it's eight
to nine a day. The ramifications are massive at Douglas, Arizona.
They had to shut down the hospital too many people
pouring in who weren't paying. They were being forced to
give service to all these people coming across illegally, and
(12:33):
that's a detriment to the community of Douglas, where they
don't have a hospital now to serve the people of
that community. Our tax dollars are paying for this. I'm
seeing people who are Democrat and Independent on the campaign
trail who are telling me we don't like the border
being open. They didn't have a problem with it before,
but now they do because they're realizing that their hard
(12:55):
earned tax money is going to house clothe, get these
people set up, give them jobs that depress our wages. Meanwhile,
the American people are struggling, can't afford rent, can't afford food,
and many of them are losing their jobs.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
You know your opponent is trying to run as a moderate.
I mean, do you think that's working for him?
Speaker 4 (13:17):
Well, people don't know who he is.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
You know that when they find out who he is,
they're going to be so horrified he's really he's a
Joe Biden mini me, but forty years younger. I mean,
I don't think anybody wants Joe Biden if he's got
forty more years in DC. I mean, that's just a
horrifying thought. And that's what we're going to get with
somebody like Reuben Diego. He is a congressman in the
most liberal area of Arizona, the downtown Phoenix area. He
(13:43):
has the fastest growing homeless population in the country in
his district, and he's done nothing about it. The citizens
of Phoenix actually had to sue the city to try
to get relief because the homeless had taken over a
part of town and they couldn't even access their property
anymore without walking over in campments, passed out bodies on
the street, literally dead bodies on the street, and he's
(14:07):
done nothing about the homeless situation. I have a plan
to deal with the chronic street homelessness when I get
to the United States Senate, and I'm going to work
with President Trump to make sure we roll that plan
out and get these people who are chronic street homeless treatment,
get them, help make them contributing citizens, and end the
scourge of fentanyl which is pouring across our border, which
by the way, does also tie into that last question
(14:29):
you asked me about with the border. It's killing a
generation of people, this fentanyl pouring across. My opponent, Reuben Diego,
has supported sanctuary cities and voted for them every step
of the way. That's where all these people, many of
them are being sent off to places like New York City,
where we're watching illegal immigrants attack and beat police officers.
(14:52):
We're watching them attack and beat people on the streets.
The streets aren't safe anymore. My opponent supports legislation that
is making it so difficult for our oily gas producers
that it would have added additional dollar to our gas prices.
Imagine that we're already paying fifty five percent more for
a gallon of gas right now, and Ruben Diego supported
(15:14):
legislation which would have tacked on an extra dollar per
gallon and also allowed states to ban gas powered vehicles.
He's just radical in every way. He's voted with Joe
Biden one hundred percent of the time. He called the
border wall stupid and dumb, said he would never ever
ever fund it, and that's actually the cheapest way to
solve the border crisis is to fund and construct the
(15:36):
border wall. So he's full of bad ideas. I mean,
the bad idea Ruben, and we cannot allow him to
move forward and make it into the US Senate. This
is a guy who marched and defund the police rallies,
and now he's trying to, with the help of George
Soros and a lot of other billionaire outsider money, paint
a picture of himself that's moderate and it's just not true.
(15:59):
So I think so once we define him and once
people really learn about his record, he's going to have
a hard time because nobody wants a mini me Joe
Biden sitting in the US Senate. We've already we've already
been suffering enough with high inflation, a terrible economy, you know,
world wars that are starting up, and crime on our
(16:19):
streets and homelessness festering on our streets.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
You know, the Democrats are trying to use abortion ballot
initiatives to try to drive turn out, including states like Arizona.
You know, you've kind of you've gotten hit for both
sides on the issue. How do you see abortion playing
out in your race and how does that bollot initiative
impact the Senate race?
Speaker 3 (16:41):
Well, obviously the Democrats can't run on the economy, they've
tanked our economy.
Speaker 4 (16:46):
Obviously.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
They can't run on the border. They've created the largest
invasion we've ever seen in our homeland in the history
of this country. They can't run on crime because people
are increasingly becoming the victims of crime in every city
and even small, smaller can unities across the country. They
can't run on education. Our kids aren't getting a proper education,
they're getting indoctrinated. I mean, what can they run on
(17:09):
except for abortion? And to politicize such a difficult issue
is really it's par for the course for the radical Democrats.
I don't believe it will work. I really don't. I
talk to more people in Arizona than anybody in this country,
and they're telling me we want to save as many
babies as possible. We want to have exceptions for women
(17:30):
for rape incests and the life of a mother, and
we want to help women. We want to help them
and make sure that they are getting true, honest choices,
not just the one choice that the Democrats want. They
want you to walk into an abortion clinic and you're
given one choice. I want to make sure they know
there's help out there, there's financial help. If you think
you can't afford to have a baby. There's adoptive services,
(17:53):
there's ways we can help people become strong, good mothers,
and unfortunately the Democrats don't want.
Speaker 4 (17:59):
Any of that.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
I had a real eye opening, Lisa, when I had
an opportunity to go to Hungary to speak a year
ago April, and before that, you know, I'm obviously pro life.
Before that, I thought the only way to say babies
was with a change in the law. And I had
an eye opener when I was studying up on Hungary
and I learned I found this little statistic that really
intrigued me and caught my attention, and it was the
(18:23):
fact that they had been able to cut their abortions
nearly in half in a very short period of time,
and they didn't change any laws. So about a day
and a half later, I found myself in front of
the Prime Minister and I had about forty five minutes
with him, and I was chatting with him and I said,
all of the things you've done to make life better
for your citizens here, I'm really curious about how you
did that. How were you able to save so many babies?
(18:45):
And he said, well, we recognized we were in a crisis.
We had a collapsing birth rate. By the way, we
have a collapsing birth rate in America. The media won't
talk about that. We have a one point seven percent
birth rate right now. We need a one point seven.
Our birth rate is at one point seven. We need
a two point one in order to just keep up
(19:07):
with the number of people who pass away. And in Hungary,
they were on the verge of collapsing their population if
they didn't do anything about it. And so they realized
that it would be very difficult to change laws, and
they decided to encourage families, and they changed policies to
have family friendly family building policies. So, in other words,
(19:28):
if their tax rate was sixteen percent, if you get married,
is down to fifteen percent. If you have a baby,
it's cut a little more. Any woman in Hungary who
has four babies doesn't pay taxes again. And then to
encourage people to get back in the workforce, they offer
they offer tax benefits to grandparents who decide that they'll
(19:48):
come in and help raise the grand babies while mom
and dad work. And guess what, they saw the birth
rate explode and go into a huge level. They are
seeing people happy and healthy and big families. Growing their
economy is thriving. Our economy depends on us growing our
birth rate and growing families. And if we don't do that,
(20:09):
we can't just continue to import populations. Look what's happening
in Europe. It's not working for them, and it won't
work for us. I just want to make sure women
know that they have the option to be a mother.
We can help, We can make sure that the economy
is a place where they can afford to have a baby.
And the Left doesn't want to give people true options.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
We do.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
We've got to take a quick commercial break more with
Kerry Lake, you know, Carrie, before we go, is there
anything else you'd like to leave us with?
Speaker 3 (20:40):
Well, I think I want to talk about how important
Arizona is. The road to the White House and the
path to the majority in the Senate goes directly through Arizona.
I don't see a pathway for President Trump without Arizona.
So Arizona is a critically important state. And you know,
I believe that President Trump and I will win together.
It's really important that we back the Senate. If we
(21:01):
don't win back the Senate, I believe that President Trump
that with Chuck Schumer. If he were to remain the leader,
they'll try to impeach him within three to six months.
They won't confirm his cabinet picks. They will do everything
they can to stifle they come back and they're making
America great again. And so it's really critical. It doesn't
(21:22):
matter what state you're in. This is a race that
you should care about, be watching closely. If you can
support us. It's going to be an expensive race. The
Democrats are pouring every penny and every resource into this
race because guess what, the Democrats and a lot of
the corrupt people back in Washington, d C. Do not
want a fed up mother from Arizona in the US Senate.
(21:44):
They can't buy me. They've already tried to bribe me.
I told them where to go. They can't blackmail me,
and they can't control my vote. My vote will belong
to the people of Arizona and they know that back
in Washington, DC. And that's why they're trying to stop me.
So I encourage anyone listening to get behind our campaign.
I want to restore and return our government back to
(22:05):
we the people, as our founders envisioned our government being.
And you know our founders were put here, I believe,
by the grace of God two hundred and fifty years
ago to help create this great nation. And I also
believe that God placed us here at this moment to
save it. And So if anybody out there is listening
and they're finding themselves feeling, you know, full of despair,
(22:26):
what next? What's going to happen next? How are we
going to get through this? Just remember that we've been
through difficult times before. We've been through double digit inflation,
we've been through world wars, and we when we come together,
can accomplish and achieve and get through anything. And I'm
watching our country come together. The media will tell us
we are divided fifty to fifty, fifty one forty nine.
(22:49):
I'm on the streets, I'm with the people. I believe
we have more than sixty percent of the people with us,
maybe even seventy percent. Everywhere I go, people tell me
I want to get our country back on track. I
want to vote these Democrats out of office, and I
want to restore peace and prosperity back to America.
Speaker 4 (23:08):
So don't get discouraged.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
We are very powerful when we come together, and we
need to work and start talking to our friends to
bring people over into the great big tent America First
Republican Party, and we're going to save our country.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
That was so well said.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
And I also completely forgot about the chairman of the
jew the Arizona Jupe residing after he tried to bribe you. Yeah,
he just said that. That must have been an experience.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
It was shocking, I will say.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
I mean when he left my house, I think for
like two hours, I just I just kept thinking, did
that really just happen? Did that really just happen? And
yes it did. But you know what the scary thing, Lisa,
is that happens all the time, But most people take
the bribe. You might think someone's going to run and
then they don't run, or somebody that you really like
(24:00):
drops out of a race and you wonder why. Or
more frighteningly, you vote for someone they get to DC
and then they don't vote the way they said they
were going to vote. You wonder why. And it's because
the powerful people back east get their claws in them
and they bribe them with money or whatever they bribe
them with, they blackmail them, and then they control them.
(24:22):
And we're tired of seeing that. We want people who
are not under the control of powerful people back east,
but who listen to and represent their constituents back home.
And that's exactly what you're going to get with me
and ask people to go and see where I stand
on the issues. Carrie Lake dot com, Ka Ri l
A k E dot com. Now the media is going
to throw everything they can at the wall over the
(24:43):
next six months. They're going to try to divide this
movement is so powerful, and it's not just made up
of Republicans, it's made up of independents and disaffected Democrats.
And the media is going to try to divide us
over the next six months because they have to chip
away at our incredible majority.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
We can't let them.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
We need to turn off the news when they're lying
to us. The polls, many of them are just full
of nonsense, trying to dissuade or suppress the turnout, and
we can't allow any of that noise to get into
what we already know to be true, which is that
the American people are going to work together to save
this country.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Well Carry Lake, Big State, Big Race. We appreciate you
making the time, We really do.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
Thank you, Lisa and looking forward to getting to Washington,
DC and turning this nightmare around.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
And I really believe our best days are ahead of.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
Us, and I'm counting on that for my kids who
are nineteen and twenty one. I want this young generation
to have access with hard work, to have access to
the American dream, and as a mother, I'm bound and
determined to make that happen for these young people.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Well, from your lips to God's ear as we're praying,
Cary Lake, thanks so much.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
I really appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (25:53):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
It was Carrie Lake.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
She's running for United States Senate and Arizona. I appreciate
her and the time for the show. Appreciate you guys
at home for listening every Monday and Thursday, but you
can listen throughout the week. What do you think John
Cassi and my producer for putting the show together. Until
next time,
Today, we are talking about Arizona, a battleground state for
the presidency and also for the Senate majority. Both paths
run through the state of Arizona. So we're going to
talk to Carrie Lake. You know who she is. She's
running for Senate in Arizona. We're going to talk to
her about how she sees the election playing out. What
has she seen so far, what are the big issues
(00:21):
dominating her race as she runs for Senate.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Also, while we wait for the verdict.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
From the Trump trial, does she think the outcome of
the verdict will impact the outcome of the election?
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Also, did she watch the Robert De Niro press conference.
I'm going to talk to her about that as well.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
We will get into border security as well, with Arizona
being a border state obviously a big issue in her race.
We'll talk to her about how that's playing out. And
then lastly, the Democrats are trying to use these abortion
ballot initiatives to drive turnout. There's going to be one
in Arizona. How will that play out this election cycle?
All of that and more with Carrie Lake, who's running
(00:59):
for the United States Stay with us well, Carrie, it's
great to have you on. I've had you on before,
but I finally got to meet you. I love meeting you,
so I appreciate you coming back on, and obviously there's
a lot to discuss.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Oh yeah, there's never a dull moment, and I'm thrilled
to be back on. And yes, it was a highlight
meeting you because you know, I've been watching you for
so long and feel like I know you, which is
always the case with those good communicators when someone says
I feel like I know you, so it's great to
meet you in person.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Well, thank you, and I felt the same, you know, Carrie.
Before we get started about the Trump trial and as
we're waiting for a verdict, did you watch the Robert
de Niro press conference?
Speaker 3 (01:46):
I did watch it live, but I caught most of
it afterwards. And oh, man, can you say that Biden
and the left are panicking? They are in an if
you're rolling out nero and he was in having such
a fit and that other cast of characters, I mean,
it was it was insanity and then the car alarm
(02:08):
going off.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
It was a clown show.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Do you think it was malpracticed on behalf of the
Biden campaign or do you think it's just arrogance because
you know, they feel like they can do whatever they want.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
You mean, having that press conference. Yes, I think they're
trying to roll out who they think are heavy hitters,
who they could They're know they're losing the American people.
They know the American people are done with what's going
on the American If you look too in polling, two
thirds of the American people this is Democrats included. I
think this is a witch hunt, this is a weaponization.
(02:42):
This entire trial is out of control and wrong, and
so they know they're losing the American people, and I
think they're.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
Trying to hang on and cling on to that.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Little sliver that still looks to Hollywood, you know, to
get advice or still respects these hulloo stars and still
listens to CNN and sees that as the truth, even
though we know it's a propaganda. They're just trying to
cling on to that little slice that they still have.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
You know, Carrie, we don't have a verdict yet.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
This is twelve pm Eastern on Wednesday. Do you think
the outcome of the verdict will impact the outcome of
this election?
Speaker 3 (03:24):
I think this entire show and it's been a It
has been a show. It's a legal you know, law
fair to the nth degree. Has only helped President Trump
when it comes to the election as far as people
just saying this is ridiculous. Where it has hurt him
and where it's unforgivable and wrong is that it's kept
(03:45):
him off the campaign trail. It's kept our system, you know,
think about the crime in New York. They should be
prosecuting real crime, not a bookkeeping issue. And it's kept
him off the campaign trails, kept him from the American people.
And the crime is that it's election interference. Imagine what
he could be doing if he could be campaigning across
the country. I think by the time the election rolled around,
(04:07):
he'd have such a huge majority that nobody would want
to vote Democrat. But they're trying to keep him trapped
in a courtroom, and I believe they're going to try
try try to find him guilty of this non crime
so they can potentially try to lock him up. Joe
Biden can't win any other way other than to cheat
(04:29):
and lie and weaponize our government, the government that belongs
to we the people, that has been hijacked from we
the people. To weaponize that against his enemies, and if
we allow this to happen as American citizens, it won't
be long before they're.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
Coming after us.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
One thing I noticed, by the way, Lisa, in that
press conference yesterday, did you notice how they were castigating
and attacking Trump supporters. Trump supporters wasn't just Trump. They
were going after Trump supporters, and they want everybody who
supports Trump to be loathed in this country. But I've
(05:02):
got news for them. The majority of the people in
this country do support President Trump. They support President Trump's
policies that help them. They support President Trump's economy that
made everybody richer, made everybody more prosperous, and made the
unemployment levels go down for every sector of our economy.
(05:23):
They support President Trump's foreign policy that was bringing us
world peace, the Abraham Accords. So I think this is
going to backfire in the Democrat Party's face.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
You know. I think the Democrats and the media would
just love the opportunity to attach, you know, convicted felon
labeled to him and try to drive.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
That home with independence.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Hopefully that doesn't work, and hopefully, you know, he's at
least acquitted.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
I think you're right.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
I think that's exactly what they're looking for. They just
want to be able to use those two words in
front of his in front of his name, it's really
President Trump. And they always like to say now, former
President Trump. That's not the protocol.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
By the way, you don't.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Need to put the word former in front of it.
And now they want to be able to say convicted fellain.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
You know, do you think what big concern you know
voters have. Obviously there are a lot of things that
happened in americ Opa on election day during your race.
Are we doing enough as a party to get people
out early to vote, mail in balloting. Are we doing enough?
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Well, I don't know if we're doing enough. I mean,
we're up against a system that has been corrupt for
a long time. We are doing a whole lot more.
We have a lot more boots on the ground. We've
got all hands on deck to throw a few cluchit
cliches in there. And we have a lot of nonprofits
but organizations coming in and saying we're going to knock doors.
We are going to knock doors in these battleground states.
(06:51):
We're going to make sure that low propensity voters who
are registered but don't necessarily show up, actually get those
ballots and turn them in. On voter rolls, if you
don't turn your ballot in, it's detected that it hasn't
been turned in. And if you don't turn it in,
there's a chance somebody else votes for you. And so
we want to make sure that we get everybody who
(07:13):
gets a ballot to turn that ballot in. And twenty
twenty when I ran, there were three hundred thousand Republicans
who didn't turn their ballot in, and we actually had
very high turnout by the way, So I believe we
are going to make this too big to rig, as
President Trump says, We're going to get so many people
out to vote. People are going to want to vote
(07:34):
for a change because they're feeling the effects of bad
policy of corrupt government every single day when they go
to fill up their gas tank and they realize they
can't even get it a quarter of the way or
halfway full for what they used to be able to
fill the whole thing up. They're looking at fast food
now as a luxury because the prices have gotten so high.
(07:55):
Somebody sent me a receipt the other day of a
taco bell receipt when they bought their family dinner, it
was one hundred dollars. We're watching as all of these
restaurants around the country that really cater to the working class,
middle class folks have to shut down and shutter their
stores because the economy is not doing well and people
don't have the disposable income to now take their family
(08:17):
out to eat.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
Once a week.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
And people, because of all of that, and then on
top of it, watching Joe Biden's stoke wars around the
globe are going to be very motivated to show up
and vote.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
We've got more with Carrie Lake, but first, since October seventh,
the attacks on Israel have increased, with the r ON
and its proxies launching an attack of hundreds of drones
and missiles. Israelis are living with the harsh reality of
terror every day. The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews
is on the ground now addressing all urgent needs.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
And that's why I'm partnering with IFCJ today.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
While praying for the best, IFCJ is preparing for the
worst by packing emergency bomb shelter kids that can be
delivered immediately to those of desperate need. Your life saving
donation today will help assemble and place these kits with
enough food and life saving emergency supplies for twenty people
huddled in a bomb shelter. The cost to put together
and distribute these kits is two hundred and ninety dollars each.
(09:10):
Your gift now will help save lives, and thanks to
a matching challenge gift from a generous IFCJ supporter, your
gift will double the impact to help provide twice the support.
The number to call to make your gift is eight
eight eight four eight eight IFCJ. That's eight eight eight
four eight eight IFCJ or four three two five, or
go online to support IFCJ dot org to give. That's
(09:33):
one word support IFCJ dot org. Obviously, Arizona is a
border state, big issue in your race. How have you
witnessed illegal immigration impact the state of Arizona? What have
you seen and how is this playing out in your
race specifically?
Speaker 4 (09:53):
Well, do you have a whole day?
Speaker 2 (09:55):
I mean, if you want to give me, we can
how many sad that you have there?
Speaker 4 (10:00):
I mean where do we begin?
Speaker 3 (10:01):
I mean you you look at the impact that just
look at the economic impact of the millions of people
boring across and ask young people right now trying to
go out and get a house or a apartment, and
they're being price out of a market. When you inject
twelve million people in a very short period of time
into this country, that's twelve million people who are now
(10:22):
competing for housing with American citizens. That's why our rents
are shooting up. At our house prices are shooting up
when you look at just the crime. I mean, we
all know, at least conservatives know about Lake and Riley
because the mainstream media never covered her death. She went
out for a jog in Georgia and was beaten to
death by an illegal immigrant here. And we're watching every
(10:44):
day as hundreds of crimes on American citizens at the
hands of people here illegally happen, Unfortunately aren't covered by
the news. We had one hundred and seventy five thousand
gotaways in one fiscal year coming across our southern border.
These are the people, by the way, who don't want
to be processed by border patrol. Most of the people
pouring across Lisa do want to be processed by border
(11:06):
patrol because then they get their papers, they get their
their health insurance, they get put up, they get told
where to go for housing, how to get services, they
get set up for a job. So the one hundred
and seventy five thousand gotaways are the really truly dangerous,
dangerous ones who don't want to be processed because there's
a very high chance they will be sent back, and
(11:26):
they are roaming in our country right now. I spoke
to a rancher here in the last month. He's right
on the border, he said. Carry every single day I
get reports from the ranch we are we are spotting
or seeing or capturing eight to nine people pouring across
illegally our border, on our property. And these are the godaway.
(11:48):
So they're the dangerous ones, he said. It's particularly alarming
when you see a couple of thirty year old males
with about ten or eleven twelve year old girls. He said,
to put this into perspective, this started the day, almost
the day Joe Biden took office. It was like right
away it started where they started seeing people pour across.
(12:10):
Under President Trump, when we had a secure border, because
he worked so hard to protect us, he said, we
would see eight to nine a year. Now it's eight
to nine a day. The ramifications are massive at Douglas, Arizona.
They had to shut down the hospital too many people
pouring in who weren't paying. They were being forced to
give service to all these people coming across illegally, and
(12:33):
that's a detriment to the community of Douglas, where they
don't have a hospital now to serve the people of
that community. Our tax dollars are paying for this. I'm
seeing people who are Democrat and Independent on the campaign
trail who are telling me we don't like the border
being open. They didn't have a problem with it before,
but now they do because they're realizing that their hard
(12:55):
earned tax money is going to house clothe, get these
people set up, give them jobs that depress our wages. Meanwhile,
the American people are struggling, can't afford rent, can't afford food,
and many of them are losing their jobs.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
You know your opponent is trying to run as a moderate.
I mean, do you think that's working for him?
Speaker 4 (13:17):
Well, people don't know who he is.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
You know that when they find out who he is,
they're going to be so horrified he's really he's a
Joe Biden mini me, but forty years younger. I mean,
I don't think anybody wants Joe Biden if he's got
forty more years in DC. I mean, that's just a
horrifying thought. And that's what we're going to get with
somebody like Reuben Diego. He is a congressman in the
most liberal area of Arizona, the downtown Phoenix area. He
(13:43):
has the fastest growing homeless population in the country in
his district, and he's done nothing about it. The citizens
of Phoenix actually had to sue the city to try
to get relief because the homeless had taken over a
part of town and they couldn't even access their property
anymore without walking over in campments, passed out bodies on
the street, literally dead bodies on the street, and he's
(14:07):
done nothing about the homeless situation. I have a plan
to deal with the chronic street homelessness when I get
to the United States Senate, and I'm going to work
with President Trump to make sure we roll that plan
out and get these people who are chronic street homeless treatment,
get them, help make them contributing citizens, and end the
scourge of fentanyl which is pouring across our border, which
by the way, does also tie into that last question
(14:29):
you asked me about with the border. It's killing a
generation of people, this fentanyl pouring across. My opponent, Reuben Diego,
has supported sanctuary cities and voted for them every step
of the way. That's where all these people, many of
them are being sent off to places like New York City,
where we're watching illegal immigrants attack and beat police officers.
(14:52):
We're watching them attack and beat people on the streets.
The streets aren't safe anymore. My opponent supports legislation that
is making it so difficult for our oily gas producers
that it would have added additional dollar to our gas prices.
Imagine that we're already paying fifty five percent more for
a gallon of gas right now, and Ruben Diego supported
(15:14):
legislation which would have tacked on an extra dollar per
gallon and also allowed states to ban gas powered vehicles.
He's just radical in every way. He's voted with Joe
Biden one hundred percent of the time. He called the
border wall stupid and dumb, said he would never ever
ever fund it, and that's actually the cheapest way to
solve the border crisis is to fund and construct the
(15:36):
border wall. So he's full of bad ideas. I mean,
the bad idea Ruben, and we cannot allow him to
move forward and make it into the US Senate. This
is a guy who marched and defund the police rallies,
and now he's trying to, with the help of George
Soros and a lot of other billionaire outsider money, paint
a picture of himself that's moderate and it's just not true.
(15:59):
So I think so once we define him and once
people really learn about his record, he's going to have
a hard time because nobody wants a mini me Joe
Biden sitting in the US Senate. We've already we've already
been suffering enough with high inflation, a terrible economy, you know,
world wars that are starting up, and crime on our
(16:19):
streets and homelessness festering on our streets.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
You know, the Democrats are trying to use abortion ballot
initiatives to try to drive turn out, including states like Arizona.
You know, you've kind of you've gotten hit for both
sides on the issue. How do you see abortion playing
out in your race and how does that bollot initiative
impact the Senate race?
Speaker 3 (16:41):
Well, obviously the Democrats can't run on the economy, they've
tanked our economy.
Speaker 4 (16:46):
Obviously.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
They can't run on the border. They've created the largest
invasion we've ever seen in our homeland in the history
of this country. They can't run on crime because people
are increasingly becoming the victims of crime in every city
and even small, smaller can unities across the country. They
can't run on education. Our kids aren't getting a proper education,
they're getting indoctrinated. I mean, what can they run on
(17:09):
except for abortion? And to politicize such a difficult issue
is really it's par for the course for the radical Democrats.
I don't believe it will work. I really don't. I
talk to more people in Arizona than anybody in this country,
and they're telling me we want to save as many
babies as possible. We want to have exceptions for women
(17:30):
for rape incests and the life of a mother, and
we want to help women. We want to help them
and make sure that they are getting true, honest choices,
not just the one choice that the Democrats want. They
want you to walk into an abortion clinic and you're
given one choice. I want to make sure they know
there's help out there, there's financial help. If you think
you can't afford to have a baby. There's adoptive services,
(17:53):
there's ways we can help people become strong, good mothers,
and unfortunately the Democrats don't want.
Speaker 4 (17:59):
Any of that.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
I had a real eye opening, Lisa, when I had
an opportunity to go to Hungary to speak a year
ago April, and before that, you know, I'm obviously pro life.
Before that, I thought the only way to say babies
was with a change in the law. And I had
an eye opener when I was studying up on Hungary
and I learned I found this little statistic that really
intrigued me and caught my attention, and it was the
(18:23):
fact that they had been able to cut their abortions
nearly in half in a very short period of time,
and they didn't change any laws. So about a day
and a half later, I found myself in front of
the Prime Minister and I had about forty five minutes
with him, and I was chatting with him and I said,
all of the things you've done to make life better
for your citizens here, I'm really curious about how you
did that. How were you able to save so many babies?
(18:45):
And he said, well, we recognized we were in a crisis.
We had a collapsing birth rate. By the way, we
have a collapsing birth rate in America. The media won't
talk about that. We have a one point seven percent
birth rate right now. We need a one point seven.
Our birth rate is at one point seven. We need
a two point one in order to just keep up
(19:07):
with the number of people who pass away. And in Hungary,
they were on the verge of collapsing their population if
they didn't do anything about it. And so they realized
that it would be very difficult to change laws, and
they decided to encourage families, and they changed policies to
have family friendly family building policies. So, in other words,
(19:28):
if their tax rate was sixteen percent, if you get married,
is down to fifteen percent. If you have a baby,
it's cut a little more. Any woman in Hungary who
has four babies doesn't pay taxes again. And then to
encourage people to get back in the workforce, they offer
they offer tax benefits to grandparents who decide that they'll
(19:48):
come in and help raise the grand babies while mom
and dad work. And guess what, they saw the birth
rate explode and go into a huge level. They are
seeing people happy and healthy and big families. Growing their
economy is thriving. Our economy depends on us growing our
birth rate and growing families. And if we don't do that,
(20:09):
we can't just continue to import populations. Look what's happening
in Europe. It's not working for them, and it won't
work for us. I just want to make sure women
know that they have the option to be a mother.
We can help, We can make sure that the economy
is a place where they can afford to have a baby.
And the Left doesn't want to give people true options.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
We do.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
We've got to take a quick commercial break more with
Kerry Lake, you know, Carrie, before we go, is there
anything else you'd like to leave us with?
Speaker 3 (20:40):
Well, I think I want to talk about how important
Arizona is. The road to the White House and the
path to the majority in the Senate goes directly through Arizona.
I don't see a pathway for President Trump without Arizona.
So Arizona is a critically important state. And you know,
I believe that President Trump and I will win together.
It's really important that we back the Senate. If we
(21:01):
don't win back the Senate, I believe that President Trump
that with Chuck Schumer. If he were to remain the leader,
they'll try to impeach him within three to six months.
They won't confirm his cabinet picks. They will do everything
they can to stifle they come back and they're making
America great again. And so it's really critical. It doesn't
(21:22):
matter what state you're in. This is a race that
you should care about, be watching closely. If you can
support us. It's going to be an expensive race. The
Democrats are pouring every penny and every resource into this
race because guess what, the Democrats and a lot of
the corrupt people back in Washington, d C. Do not
want a fed up mother from Arizona in the US Senate.
(21:44):
They can't buy me. They've already tried to bribe me.
I told them where to go. They can't blackmail me,
and they can't control my vote. My vote will belong
to the people of Arizona and they know that back
in Washington, DC. And that's why they're trying to stop me.
So I encourage anyone listening to get behind our campaign.
I want to restore and return our government back to
(22:05):
we the people, as our founders envisioned our government being.
And you know our founders were put here, I believe,
by the grace of God two hundred and fifty years
ago to help create this great nation. And I also
believe that God placed us here at this moment to
save it. And So if anybody out there is listening
and they're finding themselves feeling, you know, full of despair,
(22:26):
what next? What's going to happen next? How are we
going to get through this? Just remember that we've been
through difficult times before. We've been through double digit inflation,
we've been through world wars, and we when we come together,
can accomplish and achieve and get through anything. And I'm
watching our country come together. The media will tell us
we are divided fifty to fifty, fifty one forty nine.
(22:49):
I'm on the streets, I'm with the people. I believe
we have more than sixty percent of the people with us,
maybe even seventy percent. Everywhere I go, people tell me
I want to get our country back on track. I
want to vote these Democrats out of office, and I
want to restore peace and prosperity back to America.
Speaker 4 (23:08):
So don't get discouraged.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
We are very powerful when we come together, and we
need to work and start talking to our friends to
bring people over into the great big tent America First
Republican Party, and we're going to save our country.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
That was so well said.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
And I also completely forgot about the chairman of the
jew the Arizona Jupe residing after he tried to bribe you. Yeah,
he just said that. That must have been an experience.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
It was shocking, I will say.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
I mean when he left my house, I think for
like two hours, I just I just kept thinking, did
that really just happen? Did that really just happen? And
yes it did. But you know what the scary thing, Lisa,
is that happens all the time, But most people take
the bribe. You might think someone's going to run and
then they don't run, or somebody that you really like
(24:00):
drops out of a race and you wonder why. Or
more frighteningly, you vote for someone they get to DC
and then they don't vote the way they said they
were going to vote. You wonder why. And it's because
the powerful people back east get their claws in them
and they bribe them with money or whatever they bribe
them with, they blackmail them, and then they control them.
(24:22):
And we're tired of seeing that. We want people who
are not under the control of powerful people back east,
but who listen to and represent their constituents back home.
And that's exactly what you're going to get with me
and ask people to go and see where I stand
on the issues. Carrie Lake dot com, Ka Ri l
A k E dot com. Now the media is going
to throw everything they can at the wall over the
(24:43):
next six months. They're going to try to divide this
movement is so powerful, and it's not just made up
of Republicans, it's made up of independents and disaffected Democrats.
And the media is going to try to divide us
over the next six months because they have to chip
away at our incredible majority.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
We can't let them.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
We need to turn off the news when they're lying
to us. The polls, many of them are just full
of nonsense, trying to dissuade or suppress the turnout, and
we can't allow any of that noise to get into
what we already know to be true, which is that
the American people are going to work together to save
this country.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Well Carry Lake, Big State, Big Race. We appreciate you
making the time, We really do.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
Thank you, Lisa and looking forward to getting to Washington,
DC and turning this nightmare around.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
