00:01:42.000 That's why we are here, brought to you by the loan experts I trust, Andrew And Todd at Sierra Pacific mortgage at Andrewandtodd.com.
00:01:54.000 I changed my shirt.
00:01:55.000 It is still red, but it says Blake Masters for Senate.
00:01:59.000 Now Blake, you're gonna have to tell me this whole kind of design flow you got for your campaign.
00:02:04.000 I've never seen a campaign like it, ever.
00:02:07.000 Yeah well, you know we're just trying to be uh, bold and innovative.
00:02:11.000 I guess it's very simple though.
00:02:12.000 So it's like, why don't more people just do that?
00:02:14.000 Like obviously, the whole point of a campaign shirt is to be a walking billboard, but everybody tries to make it cute and the consultants will tell you, if you don't have like a you know silhouette of Arizona with a nice sun setting behind the state well, you're gonna lose.
00:02:26.000 And it's like no, actually just advertise the message.
00:02:28.000 Blake Masters for senate, there you go.
00:02:30.000 It's arresting.
00:02:30.000 I've known, i've known you for a while Blake, and you know we this.
00:02:33.000 We at first said okay, we're not sure what we're gonna do in the senate race, we're gonna kind of stay out.
00:02:38.000 But honestly, part of the reason I we endorsed you and I endorsed you is just the unbelievably unfair attacks against you.
00:02:44.000 I thought just, you know, kind of let the whole process play out, but I just I can't stand slander and it was just that really motivated me.
00:02:52.000 I don't want to spend too much time on that, but that was actually for me one of the motivating factors.
00:02:55.000 Like I got to do what I can to try to um, you know, get the word out.
00:03:00.000 So tell our audience about yourself.
00:03:01.000 You've been on our show before.
00:03:02.000 You're getting a lot of national headlines and even more so you're in the polls.
00:03:06.000 Trump endorsed you.
00:03:06.000 But tell us about your, your background and why you're running.
00:03:09.000 Yeah, I mean, I grew up in Arizona, moved to Tucson.
00:03:11.000 I was four and I had a great, great childhood in Arizona.
00:03:15.000 I love this state.
00:03:16.000 I went to California for a few years, which my opponents are beating me up for.
00:03:19.000 But I went to Stanford and Stanford Law School.
00:03:21.000 I have to interrupt you.
00:03:22.000 Half their voting base had lived in California at some point.
00:03:24.000 Yeah, everybody's from somewhere else.
00:03:26.000 But I'm actually from Arizona.
00:03:28.000 And so I spent a few years in California, Stanford, Stanford Law School, worked in Silicon Valley, linked up with Peter Thiel, who I'm sure we'll talk about.
00:03:35.000 But I ran his investment firm, investing in startups, was involved in the Trump 2016 campaign.
00:03:41.000 But I moved back to Tucson in 2017, 2018, and I was alarmed at what I saw.
00:03:46.000 The state had changed.
00:03:47.000 It became much more of a swing state.
00:03:48.000 I still think it's red.
00:03:50.000 It's more red than blue.
00:03:51.000 It's certainly red-ish, but we got our work cut out for us, right? 1.00
00:03:54.000 And then to lose both Senate seats, November 2018, November 2020, had a front row seat to that.
00:04:01.000 What a travesty.
00:04:02.000 Those Senate seats had been ruby red for my whole life, basically.
00:04:05.000 It was the same candidate that lost it both times.
00:04:07.000 In retrospect, Martha McZally certainly was not the right candidate.
00:04:10.000 Some of us thought that at the time, look, she's perfect on paper, couldn't really land it.
00:04:15.000 And so as soon as Mark Kelly was sworn in, like, I knew he was going to be bad.
00:04:18.000 He's actually been worse than I thought.
00:04:19.000 I knew Biden Harris was going to be a disaster, and they've been that, but it's been even worse.
00:04:24.000 And they've gotten things so messed up so much faster than I would have thought.
00:04:28.000 You have three kids?
00:04:29.000 Three kids.
00:04:30.000 Yeah, three boys.
00:04:31.000 It's a crazy household, but eight, six, and two.
00:04:33.000 Wow.
00:04:34.000 And I'm really running.
00:04:35.000 I mean, as cliche as it sounds, right?
00:04:36.000 But like 30 years from now, those boys will be my age.
00:04:39.000 And what kind of country are they on track to be living in?
00:04:42.000 If we have a country at all.
00:04:43.000 If we have a country, it won't be recognizable.
00:04:45.000 And we got to put a stop to that right now.
00:04:47.000 Yeah.
00:04:47.000 And so this is one of the reasons why I'm enthusiastically behind you: is you know, I ask all these candidates stuff.
00:04:51.000 Again, they're sweet people, there's qualified people, whatever, but they can't answer the most operative question, which is what time is it?
00:04:57.000 And if they don't answer it with this almost over-urgent matter, then I don't have time for you, honestly.
00:05:04.000 And you said something very interesting in a piece recently, Mark Jones' piece.
00:05:08.000 No, no, no, no, it was great.
00:05:09.000 You said, we can't beat the progressives.
00:05:14.000 Something about speed limit and progressives.
00:05:15.000 Oh, yeah.
00:05:16.000 The journalist actually messed it up, but the quote was: Conservatism can't just be progressivism going the speed limit.
00:05:23.000 Yes, it's exactly too many Republicans just want to play defense, right?
00:05:26.000 You resist the left, okay, good, but the left just wins if all you ever do is play defense.
00:05:30.000 That's exactly what we need to play offense.
00:05:31.000 And conservatism has to be a bold, positive vision for the future.
00:05:34.000 Yes, and then be very clear about what we're trying to conserve, right?
00:05:38.000 Yes.
00:05:38.000 So it's not just about low taxes and a hyper-corporate society.
00:05:43.000 It's about we're trying to preserve fair and free elections, election integrity, which you've talked openly about.
00:05:47.000 We're trying to preserve the family, which you said in your opening advertisement that went viral.
00:05:51.000 We'll talk about that.
00:05:52.000 The left hates, yeah.
00:05:53.000 Right?
00:05:53.000 We're trying to preserve our country to not be invaded from a cartel that is trafficking and smuggling people into our country.
00:06:00.000 We're trying to preserve life.
00:06:02.000 So part of conservatism is recognizing what is true and good and beautiful and then willing to do whatever is necessary as the stakes get higher.
00:06:11.000 Then our action will get higher to preserve those things.
00:06:13.000 That's right.
00:06:14.000 Well said.
00:06:15.000 But the left, man, I mean, everything you just said is nails on chalkboard to the progressive left.
00:06:19.000 You're talking about truth and justice and beauty, right?
00:06:22.000 Families.
00:06:22.000 Wow.
00:06:23.000 But they don't like these things.
00:06:25.000 They don't like the institution of the family.
00:06:27.000 You know, it's why they're doing everything they can in the schools to push an ideology that pulls families apart, right?
00:06:32.000 That alienates children from their parents.
00:06:34.000 This is all part of a program.
00:06:35.000 The left, they'll call you a conspiracy theorist for saying this stuff, but it's like, look around.
00:06:39.000 Everything they touch is on fire.
00:06:41.000 And I'm tired of weak-willed conservatives that want to put the blinders on and focus only on tax rates.
00:06:46.000 And it's like, yeah, I love low taxes.
00:06:48.000 I'll never vote for higher taxes as a senator.
00:06:48.000 I do too.
00:06:50.000 But if we're just the party of low taxes, we'll get crushed.
00:06:53.000 And then you don't even have low taxes because you won't even have a country.
00:06:56.000 And Arizona is interesting because this has been a state where establishment Republicans have really reigned here for quite a while.
00:07:07.000 So you have McCain, and I'm not going to spend time going after McCain, but not a fan, obviously.
00:07:11.000 Then Jeff Flake, who ran as a strong conservative and became anything but that.
00:07:16.000 You have the current Republican establishment at the state capitol.
00:07:20.000 And it's interesting, Blake, the more that the Republican establishment has moved to the middle here, the bluer the state has become.
00:07:28.000 Now, they'll say it's actually not one because of the other, but I think that if you don't stand for anything, then what's going to prevent your voters from going gravitation, the gravitational pull to go to the left?
00:07:38.000 That's right.
00:07:39.000 I think for at least one or two decades here in Arizona, Republicans have become complacent.
00:07:44.000 And you take it for granted.
00:07:45.000 Oh, it's a red state.
00:07:46.000 We don't really have to think about it.
00:07:47.000 Yeah, let Jeff Flake run for Senate. 0.95
00:07:49.000 Well, oops.
00:07:49.000 Who cares, right?
00:07:50.000 You know, you get him in the future.
00:07:51.000 Tom is worse than Mitt Romney. 0.98
00:07:53.000 He's a disaster. 0.99
00:07:53.000 Yeah, he's literally worse than Mitt Romney. 0.99
00:07:55.000 And you've got to hold the line.
00:07:58.000 And conservatives have gotten complacent and they just want to play defense.
00:08:01.000 And I'm tired of that.
00:08:02.000 So you're leading in the polls.
00:08:04.000 Obviously, you don't want, you're going to go right to the finish line.
00:08:06.000 Yes.
00:08:07.000 You're doing well.
00:08:07.000 What is the reaction from Arizona voters in this primary?
00:08:11.000 People have been extremely receptive, you know, and I'm grateful that the barrage of attack ads that are hitting me with hasn't worked.
00:08:21.000 Actually, I think it's galvanized some support.
00:08:23.000 I expected to get hit from the left, of course.
00:08:25.000 Like the New York Times, they have to lie about me.
00:08:28.000 Like the Democrats know that they've failed.
00:08:30.000 I truly believe that.
00:08:31.000 88% of people say that we're on the wrong track.
00:08:35.000 That's a lot of Democrats acknowledge that, but they're stuck telling lies, right?
00:08:38.000 So of course the left is going to lie about me.
00:08:40.000 It's just a little bit stranger to hear so-called Republican opponents of mine borrow those same lies and then amplify them.
00:08:48.000 It's just acts of desperation.
00:08:49.000 It's desperate.
00:08:50.000 It's desperate.
00:08:51.000 Republicans should not do that to each other.
00:08:53.000 Yeah.
00:08:53.000 And so, but you're, you're, in some ways, you're a candidate that they can't quite pin down, right?
00:09:00.000 So you're very disciplined, super high IQ.
00:09:03.000 You work hard, family, and you also run on the issues that actually matter because you actually believe in those things.
00:09:11.000 It's not just some sort of workshop consultant thing.
00:09:13.000 Like, oh, like, what are we going to do?
00:09:14.000 Like, I had dinner with you early on before you decided if you were going to run or not.
00:09:18.000 And I remember asking, what are you going to run?
00:09:19.000 You're like, I'm going to run on what I believe.
00:09:21.000 I was like, wow, that's really weird.
00:09:21.000 Right.
00:09:24.000 Never heard that before.
00:09:25.000 But people don't do that.
00:09:26.000 People don't do that.
00:09:27.000 People, you know, you get to the end of a long business career and you're like, doggummit, I want to give back to my.
00:09:30.000 And so you hire a consultant, you know, like Axiom from DC, and they write the script and you stay on message and you say everything, you know, they give you the bullet points.
00:09:39.000 And it's just, we've seen that before.
00:09:42.000 It's that kind of Republican politician who's basically allowed the present situation to come to fruition.
00:09:48.000 And no, I had this theory of the case where if I just get out and speak from the heart and with boldness and clarity on the issues that matter, I bet that's going to be popular.
00:09:57.000 And I'm happy to report that it is.
00:09:59.000 35.
00:09:59.000 How old are you?
00:10:00.000 So you'd be one of the youngest senators ever.
00:10:02.000 That's right, I think.
00:10:04.000 Might be the youngest because you have to be 30.
00:10:06.000 Yes, I mean, Joe Biden is the bad counterexample.
00:10:09.000 He was younger than me when he was elected in the early 70s, stays for 50 years.
00:10:12.000 I promise that's not going to happen in my case.
00:10:14.000 Stay 50 years.
00:10:15.000 I'll be the youngest Republican senator for sure.
00:10:17.000 Okay.
00:10:18.000 Tom Cotton was pretty young.
00:10:18.000 Yeah.
00:10:19.000 He was like 37 or 38 when he got elected.
00:10:22.000 But that's a generational thing.
00:10:23.000 I want to talk to you about that.
00:10:24.000 Not that there's anything wrong with old.
00:10:25.000 There's some phenomenal older senators and there's some terrible younger representatives.
00:10:30.000 So age is not necessarily determinant on how good you are.
00:10:33.000 I mean, AOC is a disaster, right?
00:10:35.000 But I think there is something to be said, though, that the younger energy in the conservative movement, I think, is really starting to get it.
00:10:42.000 That's right.
00:10:42.000 And I also think some older voters are also seeing that as well, where they're like, wow, you're going to carry the banner for the next 20 or 30 years.
00:10:50.000 You're invested in this in a very profound way.
00:10:53.000 Right.
00:10:53.000 Yeah, I think the long time horizons, right?
00:10:55.000 That's really interesting to people.
00:10:57.000 Something quite interesting and radical about a young person who's conservative because, again, you basically have to be worrying about what kind of country are our kids and our grandkids in like 50 or 60 years.
00:11:08.000 Like, what's going to be the normal baby boomer conservative who just hires a consultant to tell him what to say?
00:11:15.000 You know, it's just a very different program.
00:11:16.000 Yes.
00:11:17.000 So it's intriguing, but it's working, and I'm going to win this thing.
00:11:21.000 Look, gathering around the table, it's been a catalyst for change since the beginning of time.
00:11:27.000 Meals matter.
00:11:28.000 Let me say that again.
00:11:29.000 And who you're eating with really matters.
00:11:29.000 Meals matter.
00:11:31.000 And what you're eating also matters.
00:11:33.000 Look, it starts with a table and time together.
00:11:35.000 And Good Ranchers, a beautiful company.
00:11:38.000 Their mission is to bring people to the table.

00:13:35.000 So let's talk about Mark Kelly.
00:13:36.000 Mark Kelly is the incumbent senator here in Arizona.
00:13:40.000 You don't really hear much from him unless it's a beautifully produced television advertisement that makes himself seem infinitely more moderate than he actually is.
00:13:49.000 That's right.
00:13:50.000 He's usually pretty good at this Joe Biden hide in a basement 2020 strategy, right?
00:13:54.000 Can't get in trouble if you never emerge and actually talk to voters.
00:13:58.000 Nowhere.
00:13:58.000 He doesn't do anything except, yeah, occasionally he'll issue a press release or a carefully scripted video in which he pretends to be moderate, right?
00:14:05.000 I'm holding Joe Biden accountable.
00:14:07.000 I'm concerned about this inflation.
00:14:08.000 And it's like, thanks a lot, Mark, but you're voting for the trillions in spending that caused the inflation.
00:14:14.000 He voted to send $40 billion, of course, to Ukraine.
00:14:16.000 With no oversight.
00:14:17.000 No oversight.
00:14:18.000 Nope.
00:14:18.000 And he can't spare a penny for the border.
00:14:20.000 No.
00:14:21.000 Right?
00:14:21.000 The southern border.
00:14:22.000 But then he writes that he goes to Yuma and he has those things.
00:14:24.000 Like, I'm looking into the border thing.
00:14:26.000 Oh, yeah.
00:14:27.000 He's investigating.
00:14:28.000 He's concerned.
00:14:29.000 Mark Kelly is just perpetually concerned about all the problems that he's voting to go.
00:14:32.000 You know, I think it's an interesting line of attack here, and it would be something that we, you know, could talk about and think about publicly is, wait, Mark Kelly, if you were so into the consensus thing, why didn't you do what cinema did?
00:14:45.000 Why didn't you support protecting the filibuster?
00:14:47.000 Because you're actually not as moderate as you say.
00:14:49.000 Right.
00:14:49.000 I think that actually might, I don't know, thinking out loud.
00:14:52.000 No, I agree.
00:14:52.000 It's very interesting to exploit that daylight, right, between cinema and Kelly.
00:14:56.000 And again, all you might be doing is creating a pro-cinema ad in the future.
00:15:01.000 Well, look, I'm qualified in my praise with cinema.
00:15:03.000 A lot of Republicans want to praise her too much.
00:15:05.000 And I'm like, whoa, slow down.
00:15:07.000 She's still left-wing. 0.98
00:15:07.000 She votes the wrong 95%. 0.98
00:15:09.000 No, no, no, for sure.
00:15:10.000 I just think that might be an interesting attack.
00:15:11.000 Credit where it's due, actually.
00:15:12.000 It is because of cinema and it is because of Manchin that we still have a chance here.
00:15:16.000 Like, shame on conservatives for letting it get to the point where two, hopefully, independent-minded Democrats have all the power.
00:15:22.000 But because they chose to protect the filibuster, we still have a chance here.
00:15:26.000 Mark Kelly would wipe away the filibuster.
00:15:28.000 That's the attack vector, right?
00:15:29.000 Like, hold on, then, why didn't you partner with your counterpart, Kirsten Cinema?
00:15:35.000 You wouldn't even do that.
00:15:36.000 And he also voted for Katangi Brown Jackson.
00:15:38.000 Yep.
00:15:39.000 Right?
00:15:39.000 He voted for all the worst people.
00:15:41.000 I don't know what one of the craziest votes Mark Kelly's taken is.
00:15:43.000 Tell me.
00:15:44.000 Four weeks ago, the whole Democrat caucus in the Senate, except Manchin, but all the others voted to, they said they were codifying Roe v. Wade.
00:15:53.000 Actually, their pro-abortion bill was so much more radical.
00:15:56.000 It would have legalized abortion nationwide up until the moment of birth. 0.99
00:16:00.000 Up until the moment of birth.
00:16:02.000 That dog's not going to hunt narrative.
00:16:04.000 That's delivery table execution.
00:16:05.000 Like 95% of Arizonans know, and shame on the other 5%.
00:16:09.000 95% of people know.
00:16:10.000 They're not like stuff.
00:16:13.000 That's murder.
00:16:14.000 And Mark Kelly can't articulate any single restriction on that radical pro-abortion regime.
00:16:19.000 So he's out of step with Arizona.
00:16:20.000 And that is just a huge.
00:16:23.000 It's a very interesting thing.
00:16:24.000 And I know our national audience is interested in this because they say, Charlie, what races are really going to make the difference?
00:16:29.000 I mean, you're looking, I'm telling you right now, guys, if for any trust that I've built with you over the last couple of years and all the traveling I've done, I went all in on really two candidates, JD Vance and Blake Masters.
00:16:39.000 I've known them both.
00:16:39.000 I've known JD for a while.
00:16:41.000 And they all think and view the world the same way we do, right?
00:16:44.000 Great reset's a major threat, internationalist globalism, open borders, all this stuff. 0.99
00:16:49.000 But it's interesting because the way that the Democrats think they can hold on to power here in Arizona is this mass masquerading of voters are so stupid that they actually don't look at voting records. 0.91
00:17:04.000 And if you spend $35 million, and by the way, he's going to raise more on top of that, right? 0.97
00:17:09.000 And he'll probably spend down to zero because this is a wavier. 1.00
00:17:13.000 How do you even spend $35 million in a Phoenix media?
00:17:17.000 Is he just buying every single slot from now till November?
00:17:20.000 Yep.
00:17:20.000 And you'll see three or four Mark Kelly ads in a row, right?
00:17:23.000 They'll just send 20 pieces of mail out to every voter.
00:17:26.000 And they'll call me all the worst things, right?
00:17:27.000 It's just going to be character assassination.
00:17:29.000 That's what they'll try because they don't have issues to run on because the border is wide open and your kids' school is trying to teach them to be trans. 0.55
00:17:36.000 And inflation, they say it's 9.1%.
00:17:39.000 Of course, if that's what they admit, imagine what the real number is.
00:17:42.000 I think in the general Phoenix Metro, inflation is probably between 20 and 30%.
00:17:46.000 So everything the Democrats have touched is failing.
00:17:48.000 But Mark Kelly's going to put 40 million bucks on TV to try to convince people I'm some evil guy.
00:17:53.000 When I'm like, nope, I just actually want $2 gas and a real border.
00:17:56.000 And easier to have children.
00:17:59.000 A society where you can actually get married and have kids and maybe even raise them on one single income.
00:18:04.000 Like, what about that?
00:18:05.000 Yeah, so another issue I want to ask you about here, which is what's your thoughts on BlackRock and these big companies coming in and buying up all of our homes here in Arizona?
00:18:12.000 I'm pretty worried about it.
00:18:13.000 You know, the pushback is always, oh, these large multi-trillion dollar asset managers own such a small fraction of the housing stuff.
00:18:20.000 Is that right?
00:18:20.000 Well, so far, but now they've coming out with this investment strategy.
00:18:25.000 Like they tell us what their plan is.
00:18:27.000 Their plan is to acquire all these assets and make a nation of renters.
00:18:31.000 And so I think right now is the time to take that seriously, get out ahead of it before they own 20% of the U.S. housing.
00:18:37.000 Yeah, I mean, that's really smart.
00:18:38.000 I know this in Scottsdale.
00:18:40.000 I know a lot of our employees at Turning Point USA, they are getting outbid by cash offers on astronomical valuations of homes.
00:18:48.000 And again, you don't always know who the home is going to, but these are closeted LLCs going to cash offers for $400,000 to $600,000 homes.
00:18:57.000 Who do you think is buying those?
00:18:58.000 Could be China, it could be BlackRock, but we've got to investigate and put a stop to it.
00:19:01.000 So you have an LLC paying with cash going above offer, probably BlackRock or China.
00:19:09.000 Look, as you know, our friend Mike Lindell has amazing passion and especially has a passion to help everyone get the best sleep of their life.
00:19:15.000 He didn't stop by simply creating the best pillow.

00:19:55.000 Blake, why is it that everyone gets, what is this?
00:19:58.000 In Illinois, we don't even have the mail-in balloting.
00:20:01.000 At least when I grew up, it wasn't as bad as this.
00:20:03.000 Think it would work in theory in a high-trust society?
00:20:05.000 Maybe we used to have that, but now nobody trusts it.
00:20:09.000 And I don't know, I just saw on Twitter, like people check the box to remove themselves from the early mail-in voting system, and Merico County Recorder's Office is still sending them ballots.
00:20:17.000 Steven Richer?
00:20:18.000 Yeah, what's going on?
00:20:19.000 That's a good question.
00:20:20.000 There's always an excuse.
00:20:21.000 There's always an excuse for why.
00:20:22.000 No, it's actually fine.
00:20:23.000 Actually, Charlie, it's a technical error.
00:20:25.000 Technical, clerical error, right?
00:20:27.000 Yeah.
00:20:27.000 So I want to play some tape here that we could kind of just riff off of.
00:20:33.000 But I do want to ask you first before we go into the tape about the border.
00:20:37.000 Where does the border rank on most important issues of voters you talk about?
00:20:40.000 It's chief among the top, right?
00:20:43.000 Maybe along co-equal with election integrity and inflation.
00:20:46.000 But man, we are under an invasion.
00:20:48.000 And again, people get upset and they call you racist when you say that.
00:20:51.000 And it's like, nope, sorry, we have an open border right now.
00:20:53.000 And it's really crazy.
00:20:54.000 It's 300,000 illegals coming through every single month.
00:20:57.000 We'll just do the math.
00:20:58.000 It's 3.6 million a year.
00:20:59.000 And over four years of Biden Harris, that's like 14 million illegals.
00:21:03.000 It's an invasion.
00:21:04.000 And they're having thousands coming across the Yuma crossing every single day.
00:21:08.000 Yeah.
00:21:09.000 Yeah.
00:21:09.000 Yuma's getting hardest hit in Arizona.
00:21:11.000 And, you know, I find it unforgivable.
00:21:13.000 I've taken the bold stance.
00:21:15.000 I actually think it's just common sense.
00:21:17.000 It's not even that bold that Majorkis needs to be impeached, ideally removed from office.
00:21:21.000 Biden needs to be impeached, ideally removed from office just for this dereliction of duty at the Southern Commission.
00:21:25.000 That's exactly right.
00:21:26.000 We won't have the votes to remove him, but man, I hope the House impeaches him because he's just failed at doing his duty to protect this country.
00:21:32.000 So I want to play one of your advertisements you have running on TV right now.
00:21:36.000 Let's play Cut 236. 0.97
00:21:39.000 Blake Masters is an incredible person, a very smart guy, and an America first fighter.
00:21:45.000 I endorse Blake because he will protect our border.
00:21:47.000 He stands for life, and he's strong on election fraud.
00:21:51.000 Frankly, he's strong on everything needed to keep Arizona first.
00:21:54.000 Mark Bronovich and Jim Lehman, on the other hand, will only let you down.
00:21:59.000 Blake Masters has my complete and total endorsement.
00:22:02.000 I'm Blake Masters, and I approve this message.
00:22:05.000 Sir?
00:22:07.000 Thank you.
00:22:08.000 That's running on TV, right?
00:22:10.000 That's on TV.
00:22:11.000 Perfect pronunciation throughout.
00:22:13.000 Well, you know, if Berdovich campaigned more, maybe he would get his name out and people would actually know how to say it.
00:22:18.000 It's a complicated name.
00:22:19.000 So there's all these attack.
00:22:21.000 I don't need to go through all this stuff, but the media is afraid of you.
00:22:24.000 They're big time afraid of you, Blake.
00:22:26.000 They're not afraid of all these other candidates, but they are going all in against you.
00:22:30.000 And there is this interesting line of attack where they say that you're a nightmare for democracy.
00:22:36.000 Have you seen this one?
00:22:38.000 I've seen that headline, yeah.
00:22:39.000 Blake Masters is it?
00:22:41.000 Peter Thiel's Dream Canada.
00:22:42.000 I like the sound of that.
00:22:43.000 And a total nightmare for democracy.
00:22:46.000 By the way, you co-wrote a book of Peter Thiel.
00:22:48.000 I did.
00:22:48.000 So, is that some mystery that you're connected to Peter Steele?
00:22:51.000 Pretty clear and obvious.
00:22:52.000 But this is another.
00:22:53.000 So, I mean, they'll say, oh, you know, you're tied to these tech companies.
00:22:56.000 So, first of all, what is your stance on tech?
00:22:58.000 Smash them into a million pieces and make them suffer?
00:23:01.000 Basically, that's a pretty good nutshell. 0.92
00:23:02.000 Yeah.
00:23:02.000 We got to break up big tech.
00:23:04.000 We need to hold these companies accountable.
00:23:05.000 I'm pretty sure Google and Facebook materially swung the election to Joe Biden.
00:23:09.000 It's criminal.
00:23:10.000 It's unforgivable.
00:23:11.000 And we're going to put a stop to it.
00:23:12.000 Yeah.
00:23:13.000 And so you have these major tech companies that, I mean, TikTok is just one in particular.
00:23:19.000 Would you ban TikTok?
00:23:21.000 I think it should.
00:23:21.000 Yeah.
00:23:21.000 As long as it's a Chinese company, it should not be allowed to operate in the United States.
00:23:26.000 Just a direct answer.
00:23:27.000 It's amazing.
00:23:27.000 You know, I asked that of so many politicians.
00:23:29.000 Well, we could look into it and we have to formally submit it.
00:23:31.000 And we have to look.
00:23:32.000 Yeah, we have to investigate it, right?
00:23:34.000 I'm not sure my competitors know what TikTok is.
00:23:36.000 Well, they could find out.
00:23:39.000 So let me ask you another, let me go through some other pieces of tape here.
00:23:42.000 By the way, we're getting some questions from our audience.
00:23:44.000 Freedom at CharlieKirk.com.
00:23:46.000 That's freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:23:48.000 I want to go to this one right here.
00:23:51.000 Charlie, would you mind asking Blake Master about what he'll do once elected to stop the Chinese from buying land and businesses in America? 0.72
00:23:59.000 How does he see business interests in China, Tesla, and other major corporations reacting to the new Chinese laws?
00:24:05.000 Will he try to bring American businesses back to the homeland, basically?
00:24:09.000 Yeah, I do think we need to be bringing businesses back.
00:24:12.000 And kind of shame on us.
00:24:14.000 There's this economic logic that says, yeah, you know, you have to always ship productive industrial capacity to whoever in the world can do it cheapest.
00:24:21.000 And maybe that makes sense in an economics textbook, and it doesn't actually make sense in the real world.
00:24:25.000 And so I think we need to reindustrialize and make stuff here in America again.
00:24:29.000 But I think in terms of what to do about, you know, Chinese ownership of land, farmland, houses, you just ban it. 1.00
00:24:37.000 It's like China's a communist totalitarian.
00:24:40.000 Just ban it. 0.91
00:24:40.000 I just asked that out of a couple sentences. 0.91
00:24:42.000 Dude, if you're Chinese American, fantastic.
00:24:43.000 You're as American as me or you.
00:24:45.000 But if you were a Chinese national, if you're a Chinese American with ties to the CCP, that should be separate.
00:24:49.000 Okay, well, I agree.
00:24:49.000 Then you got to figure out what's going on.
00:24:51.000 But if you're a Chinese national, you do not get to buy housing stock in America.
00:24:55.000 You don't get to buy businesses in America.
00:24:56.000 You don't get to buy farmland.
00:24:58.000 We're going to assume that you're just part and parcel of the Chinese Communist Party.
00:25:02.000 So big story out.
00:25:04.000 Bill Gates owns farmland all across America, including in Arizona.
00:25:10.000 What is it with these super rich people that are buying up our farmland?
00:25:13.000 I honestly don't know, but it freaks me the hell out.
00:25:16.000 I'll tell you that, okay?
00:25:18.000 That is something I want to investigate.
00:25:19.000 It's like, what is Bill Gates' plan here?
00:25:21.000 And I know he owns a whole bunch of land in Maricopa County.
00:25:23.000 25,750 acres in Arizona.
00:25:26.000 He owns suspiciously one acre in New Mexico, which I can only assume is he bought Jeffrey Epstein's ranch from him.
00:25:32.000 That's a joke, by the way.
00:25:34.000 Yeah, well, wouldn't put it past him.
00:25:36.000 It's only one acre, though.
00:25:37.000 So there you go.
00:25:38.000 47,000 acres in Arkansas, 20,000 acres in Nebraska.
00:25:42.000 And he just made a huge purchase in North Dakota, 69,000 acres in Louisiana.
00:25:47.000 So something about this idea of the new right, Blake.
00:25:50.000 But we're told that it's okay if billionaires want to own as much land as they want.
00:25:53.000 What's wrong with that?
00:25:54.000 I trust Bill Gates about as far as I can throw him.
00:25:58.000 Considering his gut.
00:25:59.000 And he's not a thin man anymore.
00:26:02.000 No, I don't know what's going on.
00:26:04.000 Do you have any theory?
00:26:05.000 Well, yeah, I mean, I figured out.
00:26:06.000 We've talked about it a lot here.
00:26:07.000 I think Bill Gates wants to be able to own the industrial capacity in case there's a currency collapse.
00:26:12.000 And it's the great investment as you try to debase an American-based currency.
00:26:17.000 But part of kind of the conservative movement typically is like, well, who am I to say that there's anything wrong with this?
00:26:26.000 But we're saying, no, we want to live in a country, not a colony.
00:26:28.000 That's right.
00:26:29.000 And not in some sort of weird technocratic oligarchy, right?
00:26:31.000 That's right.
00:26:32.000 No, too many conservatives just want to throw their hands up and say, we could never do anything.
00:26:36.000 We could never possibly use state power to do anything.
00:26:39.000 And that shades into libertarianism, you know, which, hey, in high school, I was a libertarian.
00:26:43.000 Oh, I massively indulged in.
00:26:45.000 I get it.
00:26:45.000 I get it.
00:26:46.000 But like the progressives, they will use state power.
00:26:48.000 They don't care about the rule of law or the Constitution.
00:26:50.000 They will just crush you if you put up no resistance.
00:26:52.000 Now, we actually do care about the rule of law and the Constitution and all of that.
00:26:57.000 And so, yeah, when we use state power as conservatives, we'll be consistent.
00:27:00.000 We must be prudent with the rule of law.
00:27:02.000 You got to be prudent.
00:27:03.000 But, man, it doesn't mean just bury your head in the sand and watch your country disappear.
00:27:06.000 Well, this is an important point, right?
00:27:08.000 And I said this quickly earlier, which is we as conservatives, by default, don't love state power.
00:27:13.000 We don't worship it.
00:27:14.000 We don't yearn to use it.
00:27:15.000 Be skeptical of it.
00:27:16.000 Absolutely.
00:27:17.000 We're very skeptical of it.
00:27:18.000 And in fact, we have a heart's desire to go live in the America where virtue and justice and self-government reign.
00:27:25.000 But when those things start to fall apart, do we just keep on repeating those talking points, or do we say there can be necessary, appropriate, hopefully local, not national interventions that can save the good, the true, and the beautiful?
00:27:40.000 That's the difference between a new right conservative and a libertarian, infected 1980s Republican.
00:27:47.000 That's right.
00:27:47.000 Well said.
00:27:48.000 Where it says, okay, well, in the ideal, you know, we would love to have everyone govern themselves and all of that, right?
00:27:55.000 But right now, we want to do something about the fact that 10-year-olds are having pills administered that make them chemically castrated.
00:28:05.000 Should be banned.
00:28:06.000 It should be made illegal.
00:28:08.000 It requires the state to yes, that's right.
00:28:11.000 But you want a small but strong government.
00:28:13.000 That's right.
00:28:13.000 As George Washington would say.
00:28:15.000 And you have to be clear about what that government will do and not do.
00:28:18.000 Individual liberties and rights must always be protected.
00:28:21.000 Freedom of speech, Second Amendment, unquestioned, right?
00:28:23.000 Fourth Amendment.
00:28:24.000 When you have, though, these other power centers that are created, and this has kind of been the big enlightenment for me, companies are acting like the government, and we're supposed to be like, well, that's the market at work.
00:28:35.000 Actually, I'm not going to put up with that.
00:28:36.000 I'm not going to put up with Pfizer lying about vaccines.
00:28:39.000 I'm not going to put up with Disney putting forth pedophilia to kids and put up with this nonsense infecting our society. 0.88
00:28:45.000 That's right.
00:28:46.000 I actually think it's appealing to most voters.
00:28:47.000 I do.
00:28:48.000 And, you know, they might not know, you know, they don't use the term the new right.
00:28:51.000 You know, I barely use the term the new right.
00:28:52.000 I love it.
00:28:53.000 Do you use it?
00:28:53.000 Yeah.
00:28:53.000 I mean, I don't shy away from it at all.
00:28:55.000 No, I lean into it.
00:28:56.000 In fact, I might write a book called The New Right.
00:28:57.000 You should.
00:28:58.000 Yeah.
00:28:58.000 You should, absolutely.
00:28:59.000 But people are intrigued by this, right?
00:29:01.000 It's this muscular conservatism.
00:29:02.000 We're not just going to sit and take it anymore as we watch our society crumbling.
00:29:07.000 Yeah, and that's kind of the question, right?
00:29:08.000 Which is, what do you do when things you care about start to crumble?
00:29:13.000 Do you write press releases or write letters or do you act?
00:29:17.000 Yeah.
00:29:18.000 I run for office.
00:29:19.000 You know, there you go.
00:29:19.000 You build turning point.
00:29:20.000 I mean, this is.
00:29:21.000 That's right.
00:29:22.000 And you do something about it.
00:29:23.000 Okay, so let's play some more tape here.
00:29:25.000 By the way, it seems as if Representative Omar and has AOC also been?
00:29:33.000 AOC's pretending to be in handcuffs when she's escorted from the Supreme Court. 0.78
00:29:37.000 But Elon Omar has been arrested or detained for protesting Roe versus Wade.
00:29:43.000 You're unapologetically pro-life.
00:29:45.000 That's right.
00:29:46.000 And that's something that I think is very important.
00:29:49.000 So, but we're being, so I don't know.
00:29:52.000 AOC fakes handcuffs being fakes being handcuffed outside of Supreme Court.
00:29:57.000 Yeah, that's great.
00:29:58.000 Quite a photo up.
00:30:00.000 Let's play a piece of tape here from some of the Roe versus Wade drama.
00:30:05.000 How do you see that playing out here in Arizona?
00:30:07.000 I think the Democrats will try to gin up outrage about it.
00:30:10.000 I predict that they'll try to run on abortion and how crazy, and they'll try to gin up outrage about school shootings and, but that's all they have.
00:30:21.000 It's just they'll try to manufacture outrage. 0.68
00:30:23.000 Actually, most people, when they actually understand what the Dobbs decision did, which is just send the issue back to the states, most people find that quite reasonable.
00:30:32.000 And so we're not going to let the Democrats distract from their failures at the border and inflation.
00:30:36.000 I actually just don't think it's going to be a huge issue.
00:30:39.000 Yeah, I agree with you completely.
00:30:40.000 Let's play this piece of tape here.
00:30:41.000 This is the Democrat message saying that there's a lot of good that comes from abortion.
00:30:45.000 Play Cut 56.
00:30:46.000 For some, abortion is liberation. 0.70
00:30:50.000 There's a lot of good that comes from a people's ability to access abortion.
00:30:53.000 And I want to celebrate that.
00:30:56.000 You see, and the other one goes on to say that it's an act of love.
00:30:58.000 That's what you have to look forward to at a U.S. Senate hearing.
00:31:01.000 Yeah, please let me question her.
00:31:03.000 Okay.
00:31:04.000 It's just, this is crazy.
00:31:06.000 It's crazy.
00:31:07.000 And it's sad, right?
00:31:07.000 And what happened?
00:31:08.000 Remember, the Democrats lied.
00:31:10.000 The Clinton line was safe, legal, and rare.
00:31:13.000 And I don't think they meant it then.
00:31:14.000 Now they're just unabashed. 0.99
00:31:15.000 Like they love killing babies. 0.96
00:31:17.000 Yeah, it's really, that's, it's, it's, well, it's.
00:31:21.000 What is your website so people can support you?
00:31:23.000 Yeah, it's very simple.
00:31:24.000 Blakemasters.com.
00:31:26.000 That's it.
00:31:27.000 That's it.
00:31:28.000 BlakeMasters.com.
00:31:29.000 It says the masters plan on here.
00:31:31.000 And when you ran, you had like no name ID.
00:31:33.000 That's right.
00:31:34.000 Nothing, right?
00:31:35.000 And people don't quite realize, like, it's actually pretty hard to get people to know who you are.
00:31:40.000 And you got to do that first before they decide.
00:31:42.000 That's right.
00:31:43.000 You got to get your name ID, and then you have to.
00:31:45.000 That's right.
00:31:45.000 Right.
00:31:46.000 That's right.
00:31:46.000 So you go to blakemasters.com, and I've known Blake for a while.
00:31:50.000 He's going to just be phenomenal in the U.S. Senate, but he's got a huge challenge ahead.
00:31:55.000 And you said Mark Kelly is $35 million?
00:31:58.000 I believe that's cash on hand right now.
00:31:59.000 Of course, he'll just raise more and more.
00:32:01.000 Through Act Blue synergies and all that nonsense, right?
00:32:03.000 It's just incredible.
00:32:04.000 I just want to open it up for you.
00:32:05.000 What's on your mind?
00:32:06.000 What else do you want to convey to our audience about your race and why you're running and what's going on, how people can help you?
00:32:11.000 Yeah, I have a, I think, a good, healthy, growing lead right now, but it's always awkward to be in first place.
00:32:18.000 Everybody's just training their fire on me.
00:32:20.000 But you know what I'll say is we're sprinting to the finish line.
00:32:23.000 I take nothing for granted, and we're going to run.
00:32:25.000 What percentage of people vote before Election Day in Arizona?
00:32:27.000 You know, I think we were thinking 30 or 40% of ballots would be in by now.
00:32:32.000 And you never quite know what the final turnout is going to be until Election Day, but it seems like people are holding on to their ballots.
00:32:37.000 People have not been turning them in quite as much.
00:32:39.000 You think that's probably skepticism, though, of the mail-in balloting?
00:32:42.000 I think so.
00:32:42.000 I think a lot of people check the early vote, but then you hold on to the ballot and you go turn it in on Election Day because people mistrust the mail and all this.
00:32:51.000 So unclear what the turnout's going to be, although we like the numbers, I'm just going to keep sprinting hard because you can't take it for granted.
00:32:59.000 Yeah, I know at least for my family here in Arizona, they've been lifelong Arizona voters and they would typically just mail it in.
00:33:07.000 They went through the research and the calling of where can I go drop my ballot off to a human being?
00:33:13.000 How do I know that it's going to be what, you know, can I do it on election day?
00:33:16.000 Like they went through all this extra work and they're planning it into their schedule to go to the actual office, to drop off, because they're like, I'm not putting it into the mail anymore.
00:33:25.000 Right.
00:33:25.000 It's not going to happen.
00:33:26.000 My parents, you know, they haven't gotten their ballots.
00:33:28.000 They're not on the early list.
00:33:29.000 They will go in person and vote, just like the good old days.
00:33:33.000 So the race has been nationalized in more ways than one.
00:33:38.000 Here's another question here, which is, Blake, what would you do about Anthony Fauci?
00:33:43.000 I think he needs to be investigated, prosecuted, and jailed.
00:33:46.000 You know, I mean, God bless Rand Paul.
00:33:48.000 Yeah, he's been phenomenal.
00:33:49.000 Rand Paul has gotten Fauci to perjure himself under oath.
00:33:52.000 Multiple times.
00:33:53.000 Multiple times.
00:33:54.000 And so at least, you know, I expect you can't do it until you have the DOJ, really, in 2025.
00:33:59.000 But I expect Fauci to be prosecuted and punished for the process crime of lying to Congress.
00:34:05.000 Of course, no, I think when we take the Senate, we can investigate so much more.
00:34:09.000 I want to know the substance.
00:34:10.000 What did Fauci know about eco health funding?
00:34:12.000 And Peter Gasick engineered the coronavirus in Wuhan. 0.86
00:34:16.000 I think that's not a conspiracy theory anymore.
00:34:18.000 It's just going to happen.
00:34:19.000 Jon Stewart admitted it.
00:34:19.000 So now he's hit.
00:34:20.000 That's right.
00:34:21.000 And he needs to, he probably just needs to be prosecuted for that.
00:34:25.000 I think Fauci will see the inside of a prison cell this decade.
00:34:28.000 And senators are going to help make that happen. 1.00
00:34:30.000 Absolutely.
00:34:30.000 Through oversight.
00:34:31.000 Tremendous investigatory power, subpoena power.
00:34:33.000 You can refer all criminal indictments to the DOJ.
00:34:37.000 Yeah, I want everyone to understand this because some people say, oh, Charlie, what does one senator matter?
00:34:41.000 Well, imagine you have JD Vance.
00:34:43.000 You got Rand Paul.
00:34:44.000 You got Josh Hawley.
00:34:46.000 You got Blake Masters.
00:34:48.000 And on certain issues, you got Ted Cruz, right?
00:34:50.000 You got some other allies that are emerging.
00:34:52.000 We just had Marsha Blackburn, who's right there. 0.92
00:34:54.000 I mean, you're talking about a whole conference.
00:34:56.000 Pretty soon.
00:34:57.000 Not one or two renegades, right?
00:34:58.000 That's right.
00:34:59.000 You get a few of us.
00:34:59.000 Mike Lee's been good on this issue.
00:35:01.000 And yeah, everyone you mentioned is very strong.
00:35:04.000 Unfortunately, you can't keep going.
00:35:06.000 There's not 20 of these people.
00:35:07.000 So we have maybe 10.
00:35:10.000 But it starts there.
00:35:11.000 But then it also can sway other people to see which way the wind is going, right?
00:35:15.000 Like Lindsey Graham and Willard Romney and all these people.
00:35:17.000 They're a waste of rations, right?
00:35:19.000 But there's people in the middle that are like, I don't want to get primaried.
00:35:23.000 Well, they're getting all the attention.
00:35:24.000 That's right.
00:35:25.000 And you got to think, like, when JD and I win, well, we're going to inspire more people like us, right?
00:35:30.000 More people from the Turning Point Network to run for office and win in 2020.
00:35:34.000 Well, there's some rumblings about Missouri, too.
00:35:36.000 I haven't endorsed there, but people say Grichton's is pretty outspoken on this stuff.
00:35:40.000 I don't know.
00:35:40.000 I haven't been following that racist.
00:35:41.000 He's running a super bold campaign.
00:35:43.000 Yeah.
00:35:43.000 And he seems to be winning.
00:35:44.000 And voters like boldness.
00:35:45.000 They like honesty, authenticity.
00:35:47.000 And that's what the younger generation is bringing to conservative politics.
00:35:51.000 Yeah.
00:35:51.000 And so, I mean, you start to see enough of this.
00:35:53.000 All of a sudden, you don't just have two senators like Rand Paul's the only one questioning Fauci.
00:35:57.000 You have an entire metaphorical firing line, right?
00:36:00.000 You know, I mean, that obviously is a questioning line, one after the other, after the other, after the other.
00:36:03.000 However, that's where you really start to get change, right?
00:36:06.000 Because then people say, well, Charlie, how do you impeach out of this?
00:36:10.000 Well, you have investigative power, you have subpoena power, you have all this different sort of stuff.
00:36:14.000 That's right.
00:36:14.000 And look, you know, it's going to be frustrating to have Biden in the White House.
00:36:17.000 You know, some people say, well, what are you going to do about the border?
00:36:19.000 And some of my opponents say, well, as soon as we take the House and Senate, we will pass a great piece of border legislation.
00:36:23.000 And it's like, yeah, fantastic.
00:36:24.000 We should.
00:36:25.000 But Biden's not going to sign that.
00:36:26.000 So it'll be frustrating.
00:36:28.000 But we also use the two years to prepare for January 2025.
00:36:32.000 Well, we also, I mean, this is not what you're running for, but the next governor of Arizona should secure the border independent of the federal government.
00:36:38.000 Absolutely.
00:36:39.000 I'll do everything I can to help.
00:36:40.000 Yes.
00:36:40.000 But man, if the feds aren't doing it, you can cry about Biden's dereliction of duty until you're blue in the face.
00:36:44.000 He's not going to secure the border.
00:36:46.000 That's exactly.
00:36:46.000 I want to see more from the state officials.
00:36:48.000 BlakeMasters.com.
00:36:50.000 You could see why we're behind him, everybody.
00:36:52.000 There's no nonsense.
00:36:52.000 It's no kind of like consultant talking points.
00:36:55.000 He doesn't walk in with like a whole platoon of people wearing suits with a bunch of binders.
00:36:59.000 You should have seen some of this stuff.
00:37:00.000 It's crazy.
00:37:00.000 I've seen.
00:37:01.000 He's like, I'm running for office.
00:37:02.000 This is why he's winning.
00:37:03.000 It's why Trump endorsed him.
00:37:05.000 It's why we endorsed him.
00:37:06.000 He's young.
00:37:06.000 He's got three kids.
00:37:07.000 He's a Christian.
00:37:08.000 He loves the country, anti-globalism, pro-America.
00:37:11.000 Let's get him across the finish line here in Arizona.
00:37:14.000 Help him out if you can.
00:37:15.000 BlakeMasters.com.
00:37:16.000 And when he's a senator, you're going to remember this interview.
00:37:19.000 Like, wow, Charlie went all in for a reason.
00:37:21.000 Just like I told you with JD.
00:37:23.000 Okay.
00:37:23.000 Blake, thanks so much.
00:37:24.000 Always a pleasure.
00:37:25.000 Thanks, Charlie.
00:37:26.000 Thank you.
00:37:29.000 Thank you so much for listening, everybody.
00:37:30.000 Email me your thoughts as always, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:37:33.000 Thanks so much for listening.
00:37:35.000 God bless.
