Steve Kamb ( ) is joined by CNN's Chief Political Commentator, Carrie Lake ( ) to discuss the latest in the Coronavirus epidemic, the CNN demand letter, and the upcoming election in Arizona.
00:01:03.740In Arizona, we're going to pull people in.
00:01:05.120We're going to tie together the economics, the geopolitics, the capital markets, and the nitty-gritty politics of what happens next Tuesday.
00:02:07.360One is from The Guardian, which is the number one progressive paper in the world.
00:02:11.060And it's an interview with a woman who's running as a Democrat, former Republican, in the attorney general's race there.
00:02:19.460And it says, headline, democracy runs through Arizona, the fate of the nation to be decided in this election, the fate of the nation, of the United States of America.
00:02:30.620And that's one of the largest papers in the world, headline, talking about Arizona.
00:02:34.460The next article is Trafalgar, a shock poll.
00:03:32.240And we're doing this all over America.
00:03:34.220And they're more worried about Arizona because we've got candidates here who are kicking butt and are good and understand what's at stake and can communicate it.
00:03:46.240And they can't tear us down with their typical BS, you know, articles.
00:03:50.260I just read another article today, Steve, where they were going after me for having the gall to want to reform our election so that they're honest.
00:04:01.040And they're trying to make it look like we're trying to keep people from voting and taking away the minority vote.
00:04:07.420Actually, the minority vote is being trampled on in places like San Luis, Arizona, where it's 85% Hispanic population.
00:04:16.480And for two decades, the folks in that community thought it was normal and expected of them to hand over their ballot to somebody else to fill out.
00:05:04.660If you look at all these articles attacking Carrie Lake, the reason she's a demon is because she represents working-class and middle-class people, and Hispanic working-class understand this.
00:05:14.620She's going to take action at the border so their lives are not destroyed and her state's not destroyed, and she's going to clean up the voter because they understand if Carrie Lake comes in and cleans up the voter things, Democrats can't win because they can't win if they don't cheat.
00:05:50.060Everything they've written about me, Steve, all these lies, all these attack ads, attack stories.
00:05:56.180These aren't working because the people of this state know me.
00:06:00.360I've been in their homes for 27 years.
00:06:02.440I have a relationship with them, and they're freaked out because the usual ways that they go after a candidate and destroy them are not working with me.
00:06:11.700And they've poured tens of millions of dollars into this to try to destroy this movement we have in Arizona, which is really kind of an extension of the America First movement, more localized in Arizona.
00:06:23.500Kerry, how do people find out – either come and assist or get out the vote because we're down now to it.
00:06:30.760How do they find out where you're going to be?
00:06:32.720We're now to the practicality, kind of the debate's over.
00:07:47.000Now the cover of every major newspaper in Europe because they understand, as we said, the railhead of the Trump movement is in Arizona, the great state of Arizona.
00:07:57.300A couple things they're freaked out about.
00:07:58.780They're freaked out about, you know, these populist nationalist politicians coming to the forefront in MAGA.
00:08:03.860But they're also focused on a couple things.
00:08:06.260They hate this populist revolt, and here's the things they hate.
00:08:08.600They hate Dan Schultz and Steve Stern doing the precinct strategy where you have people, tens of thousands now to hundreds of thousands, getting engaged at the political side of the Republican Party to actually become an active voice.
00:08:19.880And sometimes then running for state legislature or whatever, town council.
00:08:22.760But getting that first thing to become a precinct commitment.
00:08:25.920The second thing they hate is the efforts we're making to take over, you know, election boards, canvassing boards with participants are just not going to be poll watchers anymore, but actually be election officials and poll workers inside and around the green table where the votes are counted or people can keep their eyeball on that.
00:08:44.560The thing I think they hate the most, though, and this is because of the structure of the Democratic Party and progressive left, because it's so tied to the teachers unions.
00:08:54.420It's the focus on this – I call it the parental rights movement or the Moms for Liberty and Moms for America.
00:09:02.760There's a lot of these groups out there.
00:09:04.540You know, Tiffany Justice and the team have kind of been at the forefront a bit, but there's a lot of these groups out there for parental rights because I follow this closely.
00:09:11.360They hate this more than anything because they have owned that, and parents have been too busy and too, you know, looking the other way.
00:09:19.280It was only during COVID when they kind of looked at the computer and saw what was being taught.
00:09:22.360They said, whoa, I don't know if I agree with that, and it's moderate and sometimes center-left or liberal moms and even dads who are joining this, and that has freaked them out.
00:09:32.200That's like the Hispanic vote, and so there was an article that – I haven't had time to get to it because there's so much other stuff going up.
00:09:37.740There's an article, an opinion piece from two women, I believe it was, who are part of – they've written a book about the government-run schools and about how that's the last bastion of freedom.
00:09:48.640We know that – what horrible shape they're in.
00:09:52.260So I've asked Tiffany Justice, who happens to be on vacation, if she come back and just give us some commentary because they say our efforts, and they start with yours truly.
00:10:00.020They start this article and end it with yours truly saying, hey, the road to victory in 2022 goes to the school boards, and that's true, and that's why we're winning, and it's getting – and building momentum every day.
00:10:12.340I'm on conference calls every other day with people.
00:10:14.440This is building everywhere in the nation, this parental rights or parental engagement at the school board and school administration level.
00:10:20.820Tiffany, is the article in the Hill newspaper correct, or are you guys losing steam and at the ideology, the reactionary force of the ideology of wokeism and grooming?
00:10:32.780Are they winning, or are you guys winning?
00:10:35.060Oh, the woke ideology, they are not winning.
00:10:37.940We are seeing ESG being destroyed every day by ordinary Americans who are waking up to this nonsense and capture, and American parents are awake.
00:10:46.840I think this article is funny to me because what they seek to try to say is that this is somehow a political movement or a partisan movement.
00:10:55.360It is so much bigger than that, and that's what Americans really need to understand.
00:10:59.820School board races are important, and Democrats and the left and the teachers' unions have been paying attention to this for a very long time.
00:11:07.420They get dues that teachers pay, and then they use those dues – excuse me, my eye's watering – they use those dues to be able to support candidates to run for school board,
00:11:16.440and then those people get involved, and then eventually they go on, maybe they run for some other things.
00:11:20.780Here is what is happening in America right now.
00:11:23.160You have ordinary parents, just parents like me, right?
00:11:25.960We have a job, we have a life, we think our kids are doing okay, we realize schools are broken.
00:11:31.000We go and we try to speak to school boards, and they say, yeah, we're not really that interested in hearing what you have to say.
00:11:36.120So now you have parents saying, okay, wait a second, I need to get involved.
00:11:40.120This is a whole new class of politicians in America that is being created, people that weren't political or partisan but are now getting involved in local government.
00:11:47.640The ripple effects that this will have across America for years to come are going to be outstanding,
00:11:53.220and I have no doubt that there are a lot of people that are very, very scared about what that looks like,
00:11:57.820and they should be because they're going to lose power and money.
00:12:01.260Here's the thing, we know this from everywhere.
00:12:04.740This parental rights movement and people wanting to get engaged is building every day.
00:12:09.480And you said the thing I think that's triggered them the most.
00:12:13.620Not only the school boards is the first step, right?
00:12:17.200But then it's actually to get to the administrations and get a personnel firm or a manpower firm
00:12:22.740and figure out how you broom these administrators that won't do what the school board says
00:12:26.920or still continue to be hidebound that they want to teach CRT.
00:12:32.760They want to teach all these grooming literature and school lessons, and they won't take the actions.
00:15:01.400When your nation's supposed authority on economic policy completely misses the flashing red lights of impending inflation.
00:15:10.300Now, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has finally admitted, quote,
00:15:13.920quote, there's been an unanticipated and large shocks to the economy that have boosted energy and food prices and supply bottlenecks that affected our economy badly that I didn't at the time fully understand.
00:15:28.160You know who understands the real threat of inflation?
00:15:31.580People who invested in gold and silver with Birch Gold Group.
00:15:36.140They're protecting their savings from a highly turbulent economy by diversifying their 401k or IRA into gold, physical gold.

00:18:46.660Bracing for long conflict, Kiev returns to near normality with theatres and dance parties.
00:18:53.680And reading to the article, there's descriptions of that in Kiev, they've had La Traviata, Rigoletto, Nabucco, three great operas by Verdi.
00:19:10.500Hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it.
00:19:12.400You're telling me that in the war, the besieged capital of Ukraine, where we're pumping in billions of dollars every week, that they're staging great grand Italian opera and they're having a summer of parties and under the moon.
00:20:11.560If I had the umbrella concession, I wouldn't have to do the war room.
00:20:13.740So on the back of that, about six weeks ago, Posso put out on his Getter feed a couple of weeks ago the rock concerts that were going down, I think, in Mariupol.
00:20:26.200That is the image Ukraine is presenting to the world.
00:20:30.240However, the summer joy isn't being felt universally, Steve.
00:20:36.460Moving on to Europe, we have, in Germany, this is what I say about a tale of two cities, Kiev doing fantastically, and even Mariupol, despite the bombardment of its steel plant, right?
00:20:53.960In Hanover, in Germany, the contrast couldn't be greater.
00:21:01.600That's thanks to the BBC, which is up on your feed.
00:21:04.600Moving over to Bloomberg, they point out that Paris faces an even colder, darker winter than Berlin.
00:21:14.020The Daily Mail, again on your feed, asks the question, could Britain be forced to turn off the lights like Germany?
00:21:21.140Experts warn the UK may have to dim street lights and ban hot water in public buildings as millions of families face crippling energy bills after Russia choked gas supplies, right?
00:21:49.240The FT have now brought out a global inflation tracker.
00:21:53.160See how your country compares on rising prices.
00:21:56.640Adding that Russia's invasion of Ukraine has increased prices for everything from energy to wheat, adding to inflationary pressures worldwide.
00:22:05.140But of course, that wasn't technically, and I don't mean to be pedantic, but that was not caused by Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
00:22:11.300It's caused by our sociopathic overlords' response to that invasion.
00:22:15.780But there, the FT, Steve, is presenting the new normal, right?
00:22:43.460The Ukrainians yesterday, this is something I put out on my Getty Feed, have signed a joke petition saying that Boris Johnson should be made their prime minister.
00:22:56.480And, you know, it's fine for the Ukrainians to love Boris Johnson, right?
00:23:01.280But if Boris Johnson had prioritized the well-being of Brits with the same degree of fervor that he had prioritized the well-being of Ukrainians, he would be prime minister above and beyond the next election.
00:23:16.140That's the tragedy of our sociopathic overlords, Steve.
00:23:19.380They're driven by the immediate impact of the next press release.
00:23:28.720What about – Viktor Orban is going to be at CPEG next week.
00:23:32.520Viktor Orban laid it out that if they don't de-escalate, get to the negotiation table and work out some deal that stops the killing of Ukrainian civilians in these militias they have, that all the government is going to start falling like dominoes.
00:23:45.580Are people in Italy – I mean, Italy is one of the big ones.
00:23:49.900You've had France reaction, obviously the government in the U.K. for other reasons, just Boris Johnson being a sociopathic overlord.
00:24:01.540Now, the other article is out this morning that Paris – they say Paris can actually be in worse shape than Berlin.
00:24:07.020People have been talking about Berlin and the Germans, but they look at the – they did the Dave Walsh analysis of baseload for – since the nuclear power plants used to drive France or kind of in – betwixt in between, they think Paris could actually be worse.
00:24:25.900The question we have is when are the people in Europe going to stand up to their sociopathic overlords?
00:24:30.000We understand that overlords are sociopathic.
00:25:00.780We're talking about Italy, Steve, that this is something that was on the War Room account yesterday.
00:25:06.300We pushed out this great op-ed, in fact, by Chris Caldwell.
00:25:12.840And he says something – I'm just going to read the quote – but he says something in yesterday's New York Times, which is what we were saying on the War Room, pretty much – almost in these words, right?
00:25:23.080But there's an odd thing about Mr Draghi's role as a symbol of democracy.
00:25:28.160No voter anywhere has ever cast a ballot for him.
00:25:31.400He was installed at the request of President Sergio Mattarella, who is himself not directly elected.
00:25:37.520Honourable and capable, though Mr Draghi may be, his resignation is a triumph of democracy.
00:25:43.020So that's a point there, not in the New York Times, Steve, that picks up a point that we made, as I say, almost to the word, on the War Room a week or so ago.
00:25:52.400And I think, as I say, those are the governments that have already fallen.
00:25:56.160And in the autumn, when there's what you call the double-barrel shotgun, sort of energy prices and food reached their peak, that's when we're going to see further movement, I think, in other countries right across the world.
00:26:09.580Ben, how do people get to you on Getter?
00:33:41.640Remember, after this Dobbs decision leak, the draft Dobbs decision leak,
00:33:45.440remember the Senate 100 to nothing passed a bill to increase security for Supreme Court justices and their families.
00:33:54.040And Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who has a heavily armed 24-7 security team as the Speaker of the House,
00:34:02.540sat on this bill in the House, this 100 to nothing bill that passed in the Senate,
00:34:07.260sat on it to increase security for Supreme Court justices, presumably to put pressure on these Supreme Court justices while they were deciding
00:34:15.900the Dobbs decision on Roe versus Wade.
00:34:18.640And it was during this time where Pelosi sat on this bill that this 26-year-old man attempted to assassinate
00:34:26.020Justice Kavanaugh, his wife and two young daughters, and now we know two other justices.
00:35:27.780You've got the people that are getting in and taking over the election to become election officials, and they're hating on that.
00:35:35.580You've got all the moms for the parental rights.
00:35:37.480They're going crazy on that, the teachers' unions and all the lefties.
00:35:40.540They understand we're going to change these schools around, have them teach people.
00:35:44.620And then – and one of the reasons I love doing this show is provide a platform for patriots and heroes that are stepping up and putting all the line.
00:35:51.300And I'm honored to have on the first time in the boardroom, Cynthia Hughes, who's been just absolutely incredible about these – about the prisoners and about everything about January 6th.
00:36:03.380First off, tell a little bit about your background.
00:36:05.180How did you even get involved in this?
00:36:06.460And how did you become kind of the leader or one of the leaders of this movement to make sure that people's constitutional rights are protected and they're treated fairly?
00:36:56.640But during the time in the very early stages when he was arrested, January of 2021, from January till June, he was in solitary confinement.
00:37:06.600All the men in D.C. were in solitary confinement.
00:37:19.100A lot of these men have medical problems.
00:37:23.240They were in the military, like my nephew, and just haven't seen their wives, haven't seen their children.
00:37:30.660You have men in this jail that have not seen their children in a year and a half.
00:37:35.420So I got really tired of it, you know, not hearing from him, no phone calls, you know, not knowing how he was, what was going on.
00:37:45.620So I decided we needed to, you know, kind of organize.
00:37:49.980So we started a family support group, him and I together, really was his idea.
00:37:54.500And next thing I knew, I was talking to the great Julie Kelly, the great Steve Bannon, the great Dinesh D'Souza, who, you know, kind of applauded our efforts.
00:38:04.460And we just turned it into a movement to help these families.
00:38:08.560Had you had you have any engagement in politics or anything like that?
00:38:11.640You were just a normal citizen or what was it that you actually said, hey, I've got to do something.
00:38:17.200I just I got to do something that's broader than just my nephew.
00:38:19.500Well, no, I was never, like, engaged, like, you know, as a person in politics, but I certainly pay attention.
00:39:26.160You're going to get to him through his supporters or through his children.
00:39:29.260And I think that he loves his supporters very much, despite what people may think.
00:39:35.480I know he hasn't been able to speak out as much.
00:39:38.280I know people would like to see that more, but I think that he very much is broken hearted over this.
00:39:46.080And I can't believe that we live in a country where you have a political party who's so obsessed with revenge and hate that they will step on any American to to.
00:40:04.520Because we have over 860 Americans in this country that have been arrested, charged and indicted basically on nonviolent charges for trespassing.
00:40:14.900You have almost 100 Americans that are still sitting behind bars, not just in D.C.
00:42:29.500They hate that he has exposed a lot of things that our eyes were closed to.
00:42:33.940As a as a normal American, has it shocked you in the process of how the apparatus, the administrative state and the state apparatus will actually throw down in a situation like this?
00:43:00.160I was watching a bus pull up to, I guess, the Capitol area and it was filled with, you know, with migrants.
00:43:06.760And that followed up with, you know, the mayor of your city calling in, calling and asking for the National Guard to come get control of this.
00:45:31.780And that change starts with you and your wallet.
00:45:34.740That's why I'm proud to partner with Public SQ, the largest network of patriotic, freedom loving businesses and consumers our nation has ever seen.
00:45:43.140Public SQ is the first app to connect freedom loving Americans with their local community and the businesses that share their values.
00:45:50.440Whether you want to support a restaurant that only buys from local farms, a coffee shop that took a stand against COVID mandates or a bank that can never cancel you for your political views.
00:52:33.760And we actually, in the campaign in 16, took time away to go to Phyllis Schlafly's funeral in that dog-eat-dog campaign because we wanted to honor Phyllis Schlafly.
00:52:43.140And Rachel Semmel is one of the best comms people in the conservative movement.
