00:00:37.000 Buckle up, everybody.
00:00:38.000 Here we go.
00:00:39.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:00:41.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
00:00:43.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:00:47.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:00:50.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:00:51.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:00:52.000 His spirit, his love of this country.
00:00:54.000 He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.
00:00:59.000 Turning point USA.
00:01:00.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:09.000 That's why we are here.
00:01:12.000 I'll tell you what, when I first moved to Arizona, it was a little bit in the middle, kind of with some of the Democrats spending money from out of state, a lot of different things happening here.
00:01:23.000 And I got to tell you, you deserve a lot of credit.
00:01:25.000 The grassroots of Arizona deserves a lot of credit because obviously what happened in the 2020 election and all that nonsense and what happened in 2018 with, you know, let's just say some not good candidates running for office.
00:01:39.000 You guys decided to rise up in huge numbers and not give up.
00:01:42.000 And the grassroots, the conservative grassroots in Arizona, decided to get more involved than ever in the precincts, in the primaries.
00:01:50.000 And that is why you have the best roster of candidates on the ballot in a generation in Arizona because of you.
00:01:59.000 We have some of them here tonight.
00:02:01.000 I think Mark Fincham is here somewhere.
00:02:02.000 Is Mark Fincham here?
00:02:04.000 Someone said he was here.
00:02:05.000 By the way, I just want to say something.
00:02:06.000 We have to make sure Mark Fincham wins.
00:02:09.000 It is a mission-critical race.
00:02:11.000 It is something that doesn't get enough attention.
00:02:13.000 Is Mark here?
00:02:14.000 I saw him.
00:02:14.000 Someone said he's here.
00:02:16.000 He left.
00:02:16.000 Hopefully to another campaign event.
00:02:19.000 It is so important.
00:02:20.000 Fontes is the worst.
00:02:22.000 You'll be a terrible, terrible Secretary of State.
00:02:25.000 And we need Mark Fincham as Secretary of State.
00:02:28.000 We need to make sure we tell all of our friends to vote all the way through on the ballot.
00:02:32.000 It's very, very important.
00:02:34.000 How great is Abe, by the way?
00:02:35.000 Abe is terrific.
00:02:39.000 Abe will make a phenomenal Attorney General of this state.
00:02:42.000 You know, I knew Abe as soon as he said, I'm going to go after the Mexican drug cartels.
00:02:47.000 And you know, when he said that, I said, why hasn't the attorney general done that before?
00:02:51.000 We are being invaded by the Mexican drug cartels.
00:02:54.000 We have to seize their assets and stop the flow of fentanyl into our state.
00:02:58.000 And Abe Hamaday is going to do that on day one.
00:03:00.000 He's going to do such a great job.
00:03:04.000 And then, of course, the very important Senate race.
00:03:08.000 I'll tell you, this is how you know the media is getting nervous.
00:03:11.000 The media is getting paranoid.
00:03:13.000 The media is getting worried because they thought that Mark Kelly was a shoo-in.
00:03:17.000 And I tell you what, a man who deserves a tremendous amount of credit.
00:03:22.000 He has worked so hard.
00:03:23.000 He's been outspent, I think, like 50 to 1.
00:03:26.000 I mean, are you a little exhausted with the Mark Kelly ads?
00:03:28.000 I mean, it's one.
00:03:30.000 What a liar Mark Kelly is, by the way.
00:03:32.000 One after the other after the other.
00:03:33.000 By the way, I could say their ads for them, right?
00:03:37.000 Too extreme for Arizona.
00:03:38.000 Okay, we got it.
00:03:39.000 That poll tested.
00:03:39.000 By the way, it's not going to work.
00:03:41.000 I think Blake Masters is going to shock the world and beat Mark Kelly a week from tonight.
00:03:50.000 Blake has fought for every inch.
00:03:52.000 He's a great friend of mine.
00:03:54.000 He's a terrific person.
00:03:55.000 He loves the country.
00:03:57.000 He will go to Washington, D.C. to vote to secure the border.
00:04:00.000 Mark Kelly voted for 87,000 new IRS agents and not for anything on the border.
00:04:06.000 And, you know, Mark Kelly runs these ads.
00:04:08.000 You know how you know Mark Kelly is in trouble?
00:04:10.000 Because he pretends to be a Republican in his commercials.
00:04:14.000 He's like, oh, yeah, I'm for a border.
00:04:16.000 No, you're not.
00:04:17.000 Yeah, I'm an astronaut.
00:04:19.000 We know that, Mark.
00:04:19.000 What have you done as a senator?
00:04:21.000 Answer, never had the courage to face you.
00:04:24.000 Mark Kelly went to Washington, D.C., and he was a spokesperson for Chuck Schuman.
00:04:28.000 Mark Kelly is California and New York's third senator.
00:04:32.000 He has not represented the people of Arizona at all.
00:04:34.000 And you can see all the tracking poles are tightening.
00:04:36.000 Lake Masters is running a great race.
00:04:38.000 And you know what I think is going to be the sleeper issue?
00:04:41.000 Is the parents that are rising up in Arizona and that are saying, we're not going to take this anymore.
00:04:49.000 Hands off our children.
00:04:51.000 No more pornography in our classrooms.
00:04:53.000 You're not going to mandate vaccines.
00:04:55.000 It was wrong for you to close the schools.
00:04:57.000 Where was Mark Kelly during all of that?
00:04:58.000 He was parroting the narrative of the regime is what Mark Kelly was doing.
00:05:03.000 And then, of course, the top of the ticket.
00:05:05.000 I got to tell you, this has been one of the most amazing races for me to watch.
00:05:09.000 And it's really been amazing to see Carrie Lake barnstorm this state and all the conventional consultants say, you know, you can't do that, Carrie.
00:05:17.000 You can't do that.
00:05:18.000 And then she gets more popular.
00:05:20.000 And they say, you can't do that.
00:05:21.000 And she gets more popular.
00:05:22.000 You can't do that.
00:05:23.000 And she gets more popular.
00:05:24.000 You know, it reminds me of a certain somebody that, quite honestly, should still be president right now, quite honestly.
00:05:30.000 Am I right?
00:05:32.000 And I got to tell you, she loves this state.
00:05:37.000 She cares for all of you.
00:05:39.000 You think about somebody who turned away a convenient lifestyle being in the news after 30 years to call out the fake news media, by the way, to go run and to tell us the truth about that and be outspent at every single corner at every turn.
00:05:53.000 And really, it's been this amazing coalition of people that have been building behind this awesome Republican ticket.
00:05:59.000 Obviously, Carrie Lake being at the top of it.
00:06:02.000 It's parents.
00:06:03.000 It's people that are being crushed by inflation.
00:06:05.000 It is people that can no longer afford gas and groceries.
00:06:08.000 It's people that are seeing what's happening on our southern border, which is nothing short of an invasion.
00:06:12.000 It is people that are worried about what's happening with our schools.
00:06:15.000 It is people of faith that will never forget when they shut down churches and they called churches non-essential.
00:06:21.000 We're never going to let that happen again.
00:06:23.000 This coalition is broad.
00:06:26.000 It's getting deeper.
00:06:27.000 And what's amazing is despite all the media attacks, it seems to be strengthening.
00:06:33.000 And I got to tell you, the eyes of the nation are here in Arizona.
00:06:36.000 I travel the country.
00:06:37.000 We do a lot of campus events.
00:06:39.000 I visit college campuses, so you don't have to.
00:06:41.000 And when I visit these events, people come up to me.
00:06:44.000 They say, Charlie, what's going on in Arizona?
00:06:46.000 I said, we're here in North Carolina.
00:06:47.000 They said, no, no, all I care about is Arizona.
00:06:50.000 The eyes of the country are here.
00:06:52.000 And by the way, the Democrats, they were a little ahead of the curve, spending outside money, trying to turn this state blue, trying to register, vote, do all these different things.
00:07:00.000 And I think a lot of us took Arizona for granted.
00:07:03.000 I think a lot of us thought, oh, it's a comfortable Republican state.
00:07:06.000 And all of a sudden, I think a lot of us in 2020, in 2018, we were really kind of jolted awake.
00:07:11.000 And we realized this precious state that we love, the state of freedom, of rugged individualism, a family-friendly state, was being robbed by these people that don't love America, that don't share our values.
00:07:23.000 And it triggered this massive movement unexpectedly.
00:07:26.000 And the person who I think is just carrying the entire Republican ticket on her back is, of course, the person that we're going to talk to in just a second here.
00:07:35.000 But let me just say this about her, is that the media knows the significance of what Kerry Lake will mean as governor.
00:07:42.000 It means all of a sudden that the media can no longer just destroy you with the bad article.
00:07:48.000 For all of you that are slandered and that are slurred and that are defamed, Carrie Lake stands in the chasm and she says, you're not going to be able to do that to 75 million Americans anymore.
00:08:01.000 Carrie Lake punches back twice as hard.
00:08:03.000 Now, Carrie Lake does have an advantage.
00:08:05.000 She is running against the single worst candidate in the history of American politics.
00:08:10.000 Oh, there's Andy Biggs.
00:08:11.000 By the way, Andy, stand up.
00:08:13.000 We got to make sure Andy Biggs wins.
00:08:14.000 He is a great American.
00:08:16.000 He does a great job.
00:08:19.000 Andy's running against a total phony.
00:08:21.000 Let me tell you what.
00:08:22.000 Love you, Andy.
00:08:22.000 You're a great fighter in D.C. Sorry I didn't see you earlier.
00:08:26.000 But I got to tell you, Katie Hobbs, worst candidate I've ever seen.
00:08:31.000 And it's really interesting.
00:08:32.000 You could just kind of imagine their internal Democrat strategy sessions where they say, you know, that Carrie Lake, she's good at talking, which I know is new for the Democrats because it seems like a lot of their candidates are not very good at talking lately.
00:08:46.000 And so they say, wow, she's really good at this TV thing.
00:08:49.000 You know, she's really smart and she's really talented.
00:08:51.000 And they would say, what if we just decide not to debate?
00:08:54.000 You know, the media will cover for us, as they always do.
00:08:57.000 And I really believe that that was actually the inflection point.
00:09:00.000 Now, nothing is over till it's over.
00:09:01.000 We'll talk about that.
00:09:02.000 We're not here to celebrate too early because you better believe we're going to run through that finish line.
00:09:06.000 But I got to tell you that the momentum is on our side.
00:09:09.000 Independents are breaking in Kerry's direction.
00:09:12.000 They're breaking in Blake's direction because Arizona still has that spirit of, are you really too chicken to show up for an hour debate?
00:09:20.000 And you want to be governor of Arizona?
00:09:22.000 We're being invaded by cartels.
00:09:24.000 We're also being taken over by some weird Californians.
00:09:27.000 And you want to be governor and you can't talk for an hour?
00:09:31.000 I think that it backfired.
00:09:32.000 Even independents saw that and they said, you know what?
00:09:35.000 I'm not going to choose a candidate based on pre-rehearsed television advertisements.
00:09:39.000 And that's a good thing, by the way.
00:09:41.000 That means people are starting to break free of the simulation.
00:09:44.000 They're starting to break free of everything they see on TV.
00:09:46.000 And they say, you know what?
00:09:46.000 Maybe I'm actually thinking more ways than one.
00:09:50.000 I actually kind of like this person.
00:09:51.000 And so, look, I got to tell you this.
00:09:53.000 And this is the final call to action.
00:09:54.000 And we'll welcome the next governor of Arizona in just a second, which is this.
00:09:58.000 This race is not over.
00:10:00.000 The vibe is going in the right direction.
00:10:02.000 The trend is our friend.
00:10:04.000 Independents are breaking our way.
00:10:05.000 Our candidates are on message.
00:10:07.000 The media is increasingly nervous, but this is not over.
00:10:10.000 So I want to paint a picture for you.
00:10:11.000 There's about a thousand people here tonight.
00:10:13.000 The media will say there's about 10, but there's about 1,000 people here tonight.
00:10:17.000 If every single person took it as a personal challenge, do the very minimum and get 10 low-propensity voters out to the polls, we can multiply this event tonight.
00:10:27.000 If every single person did 30 voters, we could multiply this to cover multiple precincts.
00:10:32.000 You might say, oh, Charlie, my vote does not matter.
00:10:35.000 Marionette Miller-Meeks, Republican in a district in Iowa, won by six votes last year.
00:10:41.000 Are we going to all of a sudden not sprint to the finish line?
00:10:44.000 No, we got to knock on doors.
00:10:45.000 We also have to vote securely.
00:10:48.000 Look, if you voted by mail, God bless you.
00:10:50.000 You trust it a lot more than I do.
00:10:51.000 If you voted in person and early, God bless you.
00:10:55.000 I'm not going to slur anybody in any way or say you made the bad decision.
00:10:58.000 But also, understand, on election day, I think we're going to see lines like we've never seen before.
00:11:04.000 And so, by the way, I plan to vote on Election Day.
00:11:06.000 I know a lot of you do as well.
00:11:08.000 And we got to overwhelm the system.
00:11:11.000 We do.
00:11:12.000 And by the way, here's a call to action.
00:11:15.000 Find one cynic in your life.
00:11:16.000 Find one person that says, oh, come on, the election system is broken.
00:11:20.000 And look them in the eyes and say, no, we're going to overwhelm it.
00:11:23.000 We're going to show up in person.
00:11:25.000 We are going to show.
00:11:26.000 The numbers will be so immense that they will not be able to do what they usually do, the kind of nonsense shenanigans.
00:11:33.000 And I just, it drives me nuts.
00:11:34.000 They say, oh, yeah, you know, it's going to take us five days to count the ballots.
00:11:37.000 Like, oh, my goodness.
00:11:38.000 It just drives me nuts.
00:11:39.000 Okay, that's for a, once Terry wins, we got to do something about that, let me tell you, because it's a disgrace to all of our combined intelligence to wait five days to have to count ballots.
00:11:48.000 But let me tell you this: do not be a spectator.
00:11:52.000 I know a lot of you here tonight have said, Charlie, I've done everything that has been asked of me.
00:11:56.000 I watched Tucker Carlson.
00:11:58.000 I bought the pillow.
00:12:00.000 I've done everything that has been asked of me.
00:12:03.000 By the way, promo code Kirk at mypillow.com.
00:12:05.000 Just so we're, by the way, how great is Mike Lindell?
00:12:07.000 Do we support Mike Lindell?
00:12:11.000 He's a great American.
00:12:12.000 No, what matters these next seven days is not how much you sleep.
00:12:17.000 It's not how enjoyable, yes, voting is the minimum, though, everybody, because you're here tonight because you care so much.
00:12:24.000 And so you've got to multiply your impact.
00:12:26.000 You got to convince a low-propensity voter.
00:12:28.000 And you might say, oh, come on, I've already done that.
00:12:30.000 Then find five more people, knock on 10 more doors.
00:12:33.000 This is a grassroots movement.
00:12:34.000 They are outspending us.
00:12:36.000 They have the media.
00:12:37.000 They have all this.
00:12:37.000 But guess what?
00:12:38.000 I want to be able to tell my daughter, by the way, we just welcomed the beautiful daughter into the world.
00:12:42.000 We're very excited about that.
00:12:44.000 I want to be able to tell the daughter about, well, I can't say it on election night because I don't know what's going to happen election night, that the Saturday after the Saturday, after the Saturday of election night, that Kerry Lake was declared governor of Arizona, right?
00:12:55.000 That's what I want to be able to say.
00:12:57.000 Because what you are living through is an unprecedented once-in-a-generation citizen movement.
00:13:04.000 The eyes and the prayers of a nation are descending upon Arizona.
00:13:10.000 Californians, Illinois, Ohioans are praying that the people of Arizona will make that decision.
00:13:17.000 You live in the place that will determine the future of the republic.
00:13:20.000 How awesome is that, by the way, that what we get to do matters.
00:13:25.000 Every vote, every door, every person.
00:13:27.000 So the call to action is this.
00:13:29.000 People ask me all the time, Charlie, you hopeful.
00:13:31.000 We make hope happen.
00:13:34.000 The action of the next seven days will impact the trajectory of our beautiful nation.
00:13:38.000 Because I could tell you what, you want to see real change?
00:13:41.000 You get Blake Masters to beat Mark Kelly.
00:13:43.000 You get Mark Fincham as Secretary of State.
00:13:46.000 You get Abe Homeday as Attorney General.
00:13:48.000 And you shock the world into a way, the one that they really don't want to have happen.
00:13:53.000 And you put a female Winston Churchill in the governor's office of Arizona with leadership, courage, and charm.
00:14:02.000 And with that, join me in welcoming the next governor of the state of Arizona, Kerry Lake.
00:14:12.000 I keep thinking we're going to show up one of these days and it's going to be a crowd like Katie Hobs gets 10 people.
00:14:18.000 And then we show up and it's massive because the people are awake and they're ready to save this republic, right?
00:14:27.000 I had to come out to that song, Hit Me with the Best Shot, Hit Me With Your Best Shot, and that's for the fake news media.
00:14:36.000 Because I got to tell you this.
00:14:39.000 I don't even think I didn't even tell Charlie this.
00:14:42.000 We found out today they did some sort of study or research and they found out the fake news that 87% of GOP candidates are getting negative coverage from the fake news.
00:14:56.000 That's not shocking, right?
00:14:58.000 But guess which candidate is getting 100% negative coverage from the fake news?
00:15:07.000 100%.
00:15:09.000 And I will tell you, anybody who's being attacked by the propagandists is the person you want to vote for, right?
00:15:18.000 So pay very close attention to what they're saying.
00:15:21.000 I was actually shocked.
00:15:23.000 I thought it would be 95% negative, 100% negative from the fake news.
00:15:28.000 That makes me want to vote for her even more, let me tell you, 100% across the board.
00:15:33.000 What it should do is it should make you want to get out and vote like your life depends on it.
00:15:38.000 Because if they're coming after a mama bear who just wants to protect our babies, think about who else they'll come after.
00:15:45.000 They're coming after us.
00:15:47.000 And so we got to get out and vote on the 8th.
00:15:50.000 Or if you're going to vote before then, that's fine.
00:15:52.000 Get out and vote and take 10 friends.
00:15:54.000 Vote like your life depends on it because we're trying to protect these precious little babies.
00:15:59.000 We really are.
00:16:00.000 So how many of you are ready to vote on the 8th?
00:16:02.000 Raise your hand.
00:16:03.000 Look at that.
00:16:06.000 Look at that.
00:16:08.000 How many of you are going to vote between now and the 8th?
00:16:12.000 That's fine.
00:16:13.000 We've got to work within the system we're in right now, right?
00:16:17.000 We are.
00:16:18.000 Thank you so much.
00:16:20.000 I've got your six too.
00:16:21.000 Thank you.
00:16:22.000 So Charlie, I'm so excited you're here.
00:16:24.000 Yeah, and so Carrie, I want to add on to something.
00:16:26.000 Thank you, by the way.
00:16:27.000 We've been crisscrossing the country.
00:16:29.000 It's been a very long month this last week in every corner you can imagine.
00:16:33.000 But I had this circled on my calendar.
00:16:35.000 I want to make sure we did this.
00:16:36.000 And I just try to rally the troops and get people to understand that one of the reasons why the media covers are 100% negative is because she used to be part of them.
00:16:45.000 And if they are not able to control the people in the media to actually talk about how dishonest they are, all of a sudden people are going to realize the legitimate threat they are to the Republic.
00:16:57.000 And so Kerry, can you talk about just the grassroots energy you're seeing, the parents' party that is rising up in record numbers?
00:17:04.000 I've never seen anything quite like it.
00:17:06.000 I mean, you look around here.
00:17:07.000 This is a weeknight outdoor event, a week out from an election in a state candidate race.
00:17:13.000 I mean, Katie Hobbs, there was a picture.
00:17:15.000 I think half of them were staffers in the picture, and there were four people.
00:17:19.000 That's right.
00:17:20.000 And this is an area where a lot of you are moms and dads.
00:17:22.000 Raise your hand if you have kiddos.
00:17:26.000 Raise your hand if it's almost bedtime for you.
00:17:29.000 Okay, this is a sacrifice.
00:17:32.000 This is a sacrifice.
00:17:33.000 But we're about making sacrifices now for our country.
00:17:37.000 And I just was on Fox News tonight, and we were talking about some new polling that shows that elusive suburban mom.
00:17:45.000 You've heard of that group, right?
00:17:47.000 Guess who they're voting for?
00:17:50.000 Me and the Republicans.
00:17:56.000 And it's so funny, Charlie, we don't hire big DC consultants.
00:18:02.000 We didn't even hire big Phoenix consultants.
00:18:05.000 We hired me.
00:18:07.000 And I'm not making anything.
00:18:09.000 We just went to my instincts as a mama bear, as someone who's lived here 30 years.
00:18:13.000 I don't need a DC consultant to tell me that moms are nervous about what they're teaching our kids at school, right?
00:18:23.000 Moms and dads are worried about the rising crime.
00:18:26.000 We want to walk across the grocery store parking lot without looking over our shoulder.
00:18:31.000 We want our kids to ride their bikes on the streets without being in an utter panic.
00:18:36.000 And we don't want our precious babies and our young adults, our young children, to get their hands on fentanyl.
00:18:43.000 What we're watching, a whole generation being killed by this stuff.
00:18:46.000 So to me, it's pretty basic.
00:18:49.000 You don't need to be a consultant, a high-priced lobbyist, or a high-priced pollster to understand why moms are voting Republican.
00:18:57.000 They want common sense, right?
00:19:00.000 And they want a secure border.
00:19:02.000 It all starts with that border, guys.
00:19:05.000 As long as that border is wide open.
00:19:06.000 So Carrie, there are some polls that show there's still, believe it or not, 7 to 10% of undecided voters out there.
00:19:13.000 I mean, it's amazing.
00:19:14.000 So, but it's important that we equip this group, your most motivated base, with the best sales pitch going into this last weekend.
00:19:20.000 How many of you know a voter that hasn't made up their mind yet?
00:19:23.000 Does anyone know?
00:19:24.000 Okay, there's one hand.
00:19:25.000 That actually means you guys are doing your job.
00:19:27.000 That should be easy.
00:19:27.000 I know one.
00:19:28.000 Okay, but go find one.
00:19:29.000 That should be the answer.
00:19:30.000 What should the answer then be to undecided that are watching this that see the broadcast like, I don't know, I've seen all these negative ads.
00:19:37.000 What's the pitch of that independent the last seven days?
00:19:39.000 I really think the people who are undecided are, they probably know me.
00:19:44.000 They're starting to see they're probably former Democrats or somewhere in the middle, and they're saying, we don't want this divisiveness.
00:19:52.000 We need to explain where the divisiveness is coming from.
00:19:54.000 It really is coming from the media.
00:19:57.000 Because when you start to talk about the policies of what the Republicans are offering right now, it is about, I think, bringing this country together.
00:20:06.000 How many Democrat moms and dads want their kids to get their hands on fentanyl?
00:20:10.000 I can't think of one.
00:20:12.000 How many Democrats want a wide open border besides Katie Hopkins?
00:20:17.000 I can't think of one who really want a wide open border.
00:20:20.000 How many Democrats want their kids to be taught sex education in elementary school?
00:20:28.000 I think we are so much closer together than we are far apart.
00:20:32.000 Now, there's going to be those radicals on the left.
00:20:35.000 We need to remind our Democrat friends, and I know it's hard to think, you know, we've been so divided for so long, you think I can't even talk to them.
00:20:42.000 They're probably questioning their party right now.
00:20:44.000 They're looking at it going, wait a minute, my 401k, my savings has shriveled up by a third.
00:20:52.000 I can't afford groceries.
00:20:53.000 I can't afford gas.
00:20:55.000 Biden is, you know, he can't find the front door at the White House.
00:21:00.000 Our country is going to hell in a handbasket.
00:21:02.000 They might be ready to have a discussion.
00:21:04.000 And if you talk about the issues that matter, inflation, who wants to help with inflation, I want to get rid of the grocery tax and the rent tax.
00:21:12.000 Those are two really.
00:21:15.000 So tell them about that.
00:21:17.000 I want to make sure that our kids, when they're in high school, they have a dual-track education.
00:21:22.000 After 10th grade, they decide if they want to take that college route and that's great.
00:21:26.000 Go for it.
00:21:27.000 Or after 10th grade, we get them skills training, trade skill training, vocational training, or career certification.
00:21:35.000 Get them ready for the jobs that are out there.
00:21:38.000 And we want to fully fund our police.
00:21:41.000 We want to be, yes, there we go.
00:21:45.000 Give it up for our police tonight, by the way.
00:21:46.000 They do such a great job.
00:21:53.000 Absolutely.
00:21:54.000 Our men and women in law enforcement, my God, do we need them?
00:22:00.000 And I want, Charlie, that every law enforcement officer in the country, if they're in a Chicago or they're in a Seattle or Portland or a Blue State, I want them to know if they're unhappy, if they're feeling like they're demoralized, they can come here to Arizona.
00:22:19.000 We want to hire them.
00:22:20.000 We want to bring them on board because we want every department fully staffed.
00:22:23.000 So we're going to work on that.
00:22:25.000 So Carrie, one of the things that you were very clear about that your opponent was unable to answer, which is nothing new for her, is that you will never mandate the COVID vaccine for children.
00:22:39.000 Never.
00:22:44.000 Your opponent.
00:22:46.000 Never.
00:22:46.000 Absolutely.
00:22:47.000 Unless your opponent clarified herself, I don't think she did.
00:22:50.000 She said, and she didn't really know what to answer.
00:22:55.000 And the reporter actually did a good job, believe it or not, saying, well, what do you mean you don't know?
00:23:00.000 Carrie, your thoughts.
00:23:01.000 Well, let me tell you, the first I heard that they were thinking of putting that on the mandated shots.
00:23:05.000 I don't even call it a vaccine because it's experimental.
00:23:08.000 It's experimental.
00:23:10.000 And it's causing more health problems for our young people.
00:23:14.000 First of all, the COVID shot, everybody I know who's had COVID has had the shot.
00:23:19.000 Now, I'm not a scientist, but everybody I know who's had a bad case of COVID has had the shot.
00:23:24.000 I'm just saying that.
00:23:26.000 Our children are healthy.
00:23:27.000 They've got great immune systems.
00:23:29.000 You don't need to.
00:23:30.000 If you want to get that for your child, that's fine.
00:23:32.000 But we are not going to force that.
00:23:33.000 When I first heard about that, I said, hell no, we're not going to do that.
00:23:38.000 They're not guinea pigs.
00:23:39.000 Let me talk about that.
00:23:41.000 Children are not lab rats.
00:23:42.000 I want to add something.
00:23:43.000 Carrie Lake was the first person running for statewide office in the country to say it.
00:23:48.000 And every other Republican followed suit because she had the courage to lead by example.
00:23:53.000 I hope you understand how important that is.
00:23:57.000 Thank you.
00:23:58.000 Thank you, Charlie.
00:24:05.000 Thank you so much.
00:24:07.000 Well, I'm going to be a little selfish.
00:24:10.000 I got kids of my own.
00:24:12.000 I don't think they need this shot.
00:24:13.000 And I certainly, as sure as hell, don't want Fauci telling me what to put in my kid's arm.
00:24:18.000 Okay?
00:24:19.000 I actually want that guy fired, okay?
00:24:22.000 And maybe locked up.
00:24:27.000 So, but I'm going to take it a step further.
00:24:31.000 I don't want you to be forced to get that shot against your will.
00:24:35.000 Is that okay?
00:24:37.000 I don't think any of us should be forced to get an experimental shot against our will in order to go and do a job and put food on the table for our families.
00:24:46.000 It's wrong.
00:24:47.000 And it doesn't take, you know, it doesn't take that much courage to stand out and speak up for our kids, or it shouldn't at least.
00:24:54.000 So we've got to protect our children.
00:24:56.000 That is one thing that is for sure.
00:24:57.000 And I will do that every single time.
00:24:59.000 We're not going to force this on our children to get an education.
00:25:02.000 Amen.
00:25:03.000 And for every firefighter or police officer across the country, I bet you can go find employment in the great state of Arizona if you got fired because you refused to take the vaccine.
00:25:12.000 I have to tell you, when I first got into this, I had somebody who was, he wasn't hired, but he was a political guy giving me advice.
00:25:18.000 He said, first of all, back away from President Trump.
00:25:22.000 I said, no.
00:25:24.000 He said, don't talk about COVID.
00:25:27.000 Don't talk about vaccines.
00:25:29.000 And I just finally said, okay, buddy, move along.
00:25:33.000 Because this is what's on our hearts and our minds, and people are risking losing their jobs over a shot.
00:25:39.000 I was the first candidate.
00:25:40.000 I remember it vividly.
00:25:42.000 It was the middle of July.
00:25:42.000 It was hot as heck.
00:25:44.000 And the medical professionals who'd been through so much with COVID were finally now being told by their bosses, get the shot or get out.
00:25:53.000 And I remember rallying with them at the state capitol.
00:25:56.000 And then a few weeks later, I was rallying with the folks who were working at the airlines.
00:26:00.000 They were being forced to get the shot or get out.
00:26:02.000 I rallied with them.
00:26:04.000 I rallied with our first responders who'd already been exposed to all of this.
00:26:09.000 None of these other candidates were anywhere near that.
00:26:12.000 And I stood there because I knew what was right.
00:26:14.000 And we're at a moment in history where we've got to start standing up for what is right, right?
00:26:21.000 What's right and what's wrong.
00:26:23.000 It's pretty clear right now.
00:26:24.000 So we need somebody who's courageous enough to do that.
00:26:27.000 Katie Hobbs was asked about it.
00:26:29.000 I disagree with you, Charlie.
00:26:30.000 I don't think the media was being hard on her.
00:26:34.000 I think they recognized when they said, do you want to, would you force children to get this shot?
00:26:38.000 And her answer was, uh.
00:26:40.000 And they realized, uh-oh, we need to go in and save her.
00:26:43.000 So they threw another question at her.
00:26:45.000 And her answer was, uh-uh, well, I haven't thought about it.
00:26:50.000 You're a mother and you haven't thought about that?
00:26:53.000 What's wrong with you?
00:26:54.000 What's wrong with her is she has no business being governor of the state of Arizona.
00:26:58.000 That's what's wrong with her.
00:27:00.000 So, Carrie, it's important that we repeat the record of Katie Hobbs.
00:27:05.000 The media has not covered it.
00:27:07.000 She's a convicted racist.
00:27:09.000 Twice convicted.
00:27:11.000 She has also, she's overseeing her own election, which if the media had any integrity, they would demand that she recuse herself from administering her own election.
00:27:23.000 And they say, oh, Republicans are a threat to democracy.
00:27:27.000 How about being the Secretary of State of your own election?
00:27:30.000 And by the way, there's ballots being sent out that were not correct.
00:27:34.000 There were 6,000 ballots or something.
00:27:37.000 You know, those ballots, Charlie, were federal ballots.
00:27:40.000 So that means, and they were sent to people who wanted to vote for governor.
00:27:45.000 But guess who wasn't on that ballot?
00:27:47.000 Me.
00:27:49.000 We weren't on it.
00:27:50.000 It was a federal-only ballot.
00:27:51.000 So 6,000 people got a ballot that didn't have my name on it, and my opponent sent those ballots out.
00:27:58.000 I don't know.
00:27:59.000 That seems like a problem.
00:28:00.000 Anybody else agree with that?
00:28:03.000 But you know what the media said?
00:28:05.000 Well, she apologized for it.
00:28:08.000 They always let these guys off the hook.
00:28:11.000 And they want to talk about, they keep talking about the debate.
00:28:14.000 Listen, she didn't do the debate.
00:28:16.000 We know she's a coward.
00:28:17.000 Let's start asking her about her record.
00:28:20.000 Ask her about being a twice convicted racist that's costing the state of Arizona $3 million in a settlement because she paid a woman of color, a single black mother, $30,000 less than the men who did the exact same job.
00:28:34.000 Why don't they ask her about that?
00:28:38.000 Why?
00:28:40.000 They spend years, they spend years, the fake news, calling us racist.
00:28:45.000 Now I am running against a real, true racist, and they won't ask her about it.
00:28:52.000 It's really despicable.
00:28:55.000 Let me ask you this.
00:28:56.000 How many of you have completely tuned out the fake news?
00:29:03.000 Actually, turn around and show the wave your arms if you tune them out.
00:29:07.000 You don't even watch them anymore.
00:29:10.000 Wow.
00:29:11.000 That should tell you guys everything.
00:29:14.000 It's time to look, take a look in the mirror and start acting and behaving like true journalists.
00:29:22.000 We want the truth, and we want you to do a better job.
00:29:26.000 And when Carrie Lake becomes governor of Arizona, it is proof the media is no longer the gatekeeper of Arizona elections.
00:29:35.000 Right.
00:29:37.000 That's why they're doing everything they can to destroy you.
00:29:40.000 I think that what people are realizing is they don't have the power that they thought they had.
00:29:45.000 And that's why if you watch, I don't watch Morning Joe, but somebody sent me a clip.
00:29:50.000 And Mika, by the way, when I was a kid, every time an ambulance went by, my grandma would say, let's all say a prayer.
00:29:58.000 So let's say in our minds a little prayer.
00:30:00.000 I don't know what's going on, but there's ambulance going by, and that means somebody's in need.
00:30:05.000 So a quick prayer up to God.
00:30:06.000 Please make sure that you protect those tonight who are in harm's way.
00:30:11.000 Anyway, I just got used to doing that since I was a kid.
00:30:14.000 Here's the deal.
00:30:15.000 The media has lost their power.
00:30:18.000 And I think they're starting to realize that we get it.
00:30:22.000 We're not listening to them anymore.
00:30:24.000 If they shame us because we want to ask questions about our government, shame on them.
00:30:29.000 If they try to shame us for using our First Amendment rights to question problems in our election, shame on them.
00:30:36.000 We are not giving up that little shred of the First Amendment we have left for a bunch of propagandists.
00:30:43.000 So Carrie, I visit a lot of college campuses.
00:30:47.000 We have some amazing students as part of our movement.
00:30:50.000 What is your message to younger first-time voters, 18, 19, 20-year-olds?
00:30:55.000 They're getting crushed by inflation.
00:30:56.000 Rent has gone up dramatically.
00:30:58.000 It seems as if it is increasingly unaffordable to be able to live in Arizona.
00:31:03.000 What is your message to make the Arizona dream accessible to young people in particular?
00:31:07.000 I'm so glad you asked that because it's young people, and I know Turning Point deals with a lot of the young people, but it's also people who are getting near retirement, looking at the retirement savings, and it's gone away.
00:31:17.000 I mean, a third of it's gone.
00:31:20.000 It used to be affordable to live here, and it's becoming less and less affordable as we're watching double-digit increases in our inflation.
00:31:26.000 That's why immediately I want to get rid of the grocery tax and the gas tax.
00:31:31.000 And then we want to work on getting and lowering our sales tax.
00:31:35.000 That helps everybody across the board.
00:31:37.000 My opponent 13 times voted to raise taxes on Arizonas, including doubling the gas tax.
00:31:45.000 So we're going to do everything we can.
00:31:46.000 If we have a surplus, that means we should be giving back to the people who are paying taxes.
00:31:51.000 We want Arizona to be affordable for young people.
00:31:56.000 And Charlie, it breaks my heart because I remember back when I was a kid, I'm not a kid, I felt like a kid.
00:32:02.000 Looking back, I was a kid.
00:32:03.000 I was in my 20s.
00:32:04.000 I bought my first house.
00:32:06.000 I bought my first house in my 20s.
00:32:08.000 I talked to people who are in their 30s and they said, Carrie, we don't ever imagine a world that we can ever buy a house.
00:32:16.000 Think about that.
00:32:17.000 That's the American dream.
00:32:19.000 And they don't ever think they're going to live it.
00:32:21.000 We've got to do something.
00:32:23.000 We took a wrong turn a long time ago.
00:32:24.000 We've got to get back on the right road to success, to the American dream for Arizonans.
00:32:29.000 Truly.
00:32:30.000 So, Carrie, in closing here, we're seven days out.
00:32:35.000 What does this audience need to do to get across the finish line?
00:32:37.000 And then also talk about, which you deserve credit for, Carrie.
00:32:40.000 I have never seen a candidate so generously give stage time and support to down ballot candidates.
00:32:47.000 I have never seen anything like it.
00:32:49.000 Carrie wants to see the entire ticket win.
00:32:52.000 It's not just about Carrie.
00:32:53.000 It's really special.
00:32:54.000 It really is.
00:32:56.000 So talk about those two things, Carrie, as we wrap up.
00:32:59.000 Thank you so much.
00:33:00.000 You know what it is?
00:33:01.000 I'm in this because I want Arizona to win.
00:33:04.000 And Arizona's not going to win with just me.
00:33:06.000 We're not going to win if it's just me who gets into office.
00:33:09.000 I got to have Mark Fincham.
00:33:10.000 I got to have Abe Homeday.
00:33:12.000 We've got to have Blake in the Senate, right?
00:33:16.000 We've got to have Tom Horn.
00:33:18.000 We've got to have a Republican overseeing our education.
00:33:22.000 This woman who's in charge is cuckoo.
00:33:25.000 She's cuckoo.
00:33:26.000 You know what's going on.
00:33:27.000 She's steering our kids over to websites that are possibly pushing them into the arms of groomers.
00:33:34.000 That's what the lady in charge of our education is doing.
00:33:37.000 It's a fact.
00:33:38.000 They won't cover it, but that's what she's doing.
00:33:40.000 We need to have Republicans up and down that ballot.
00:33:44.000 Truly.
00:33:45.000 So I'm not, you know, you can thank you for the compliment.
00:33:48.000 I'll take it.
00:33:49.000 But it's really about us.
00:33:50.000 I want to see Arizona succeed.
00:33:52.000 And that means we've got to have Republicans up and down the ballot.
00:33:54.000 And we've got to get out and vote like our lives depend on it.
00:33:57.000 And you know what else we have to do?
00:33:59.000 We have to tune in to people like Charlie.
00:34:03.000 And like my surprise guest tonight, I want you to meet and say a big Arizona welcome to one of my favorite guys in the world, one of the most patriotic men I know.
00:34:13.000 I call him a modern-day George Washington.
00:34:15.000 Come on out, Steve Bannon.
00:34:20.000 This is who the applause should be for, and for you.
00:34:26.000 Next Tuesday, next Tuesday, Arizona has a rendezvous with destiny.
00:34:35.000 Why do you think all the world's media is here?
00:34:38.000 From Japan, in England, in Germany, right?
00:34:41.000 The New York Times, the Washington Post, all of them.
00:34:43.000 Why do you think they're here?
00:34:45.000 It started here back in November of 2020.
00:34:50.000 It started right here.
00:34:53.000 And it's going to end right here.
00:34:55.000 That's right.
00:35:00.000 Divine providence works in mysterious ways.
00:35:04.000 Arizona has a rendezvous with destiny next Tuesday.
00:35:11.000 Carrie Lake wasn't in the government at that time.
00:35:14.000 She was a media and a TV anchor and a news person.
00:35:17.000 Abe Hammeday was a captain in the Army, right?
00:35:21.000 You had Blake Masters was a venture capitalist.
00:35:25.000 Eli Crane, others, they were either serving their country.
00:35:27.000 They weren't politicians.
00:35:30.000 They saw something that they need to come and set right.
00:35:35.000 They have dedicated their lives not just to, in their sacred honor, not just to Arizona, but to the entire country.
00:35:42.000 That's why they're all here.
00:35:44.000 This has never happened before in American history, ever.
00:35:48.000 Carrie Lake and her whole ticket come to this, and they don't owe anybody anything except the people.
00:36:00.000 She hasn't taken a penny from anybody.
00:36:04.000 She was outspent by, what, $30 million in the primary?
00:36:07.000 And look what Katie Hobbs and the opposition are putting on her and George Soros.
00:36:12.000 She's beholden to no one but the people.
00:36:20.000 That's why next Tuesday is so important.
00:36:23.000 And that's why we need everyone to turn out.
00:36:28.000 We need not just a victory, we need a statement victory.
00:36:34.000 You are sending a message not simply to Washington, D.C. or to Phoenix.
00:36:40.000 You're sending a message to the entire world.
00:36:43.000 What has to happen under a Kerry Lake administration, the entire world is going to watch, right?
00:36:54.000 Not just with voter integrity, not just with making sure this economy works for everyone, for everyone, not just for the wealthy and the privileged and the powerful.
00:37:06.000 And also the border and illegal immigration, but particularly the border and the invasion of this country.
00:37:13.000 That's what the Lake administration is going to stand for.
00:37:16.000 And that's the rendezvous with Destiny.
00:37:18.000 And that's why she needs an overwhelming statement win.
00:37:23.000 This is going to be a long, tough slog.
00:37:25.000 It's not, you know, Carrie Lake doesn't have a magic wand that she's going to wave and make it all better.
00:37:29.000 No.
00:37:30.000 This is going to be a long, tough slog.
00:37:32.000 And all of you, all of you, are going to have to be her partner.
00:37:37.000 Right?
00:37:38.000 Can she count on you?
00:37:42.000 No, can she, no, I'm not saying, can she count on you?
00:37:50.000 Carrie.
00:37:59.000 Thank you, Steve.
00:38:00.000 And thank you for keeping it honest.
00:38:04.000 Where would we be without the honesty of Steve Bannon when we had only these people telling us lies before?
00:38:11.000 Thank God for Steve Bannon.
00:38:13.000 Thank God for Charlie Kirk.
00:38:15.000 And thank God that we have a good BS meter, right?
00:38:20.000 Here in Arizona, we understand lies when we see them.
00:38:25.000 And we're able to discern the truth.
00:38:28.000 And we're going to get a whole lot more of the truth when you elect me as governor because I will tell you the truth every single day about what's happening.
00:38:35.000 I promise you that.
00:38:39.000 And there's a reason 100% of the mainstream media, 100% of the stories they write on me are negative and lies and filled with slander and defamatory statements because they are so afraid.
00:38:53.000 I'm going to get in there and do what I say I'm going to do, which is secure the border and make Arizona safe again for our families and our children.
00:39:04.000 And we're going to secure our election so that every Democrat, Independent, and Republican knows when they go to bed on election night, their one legal vote counted, and they can count on the results of that election coming in election night, not 10 days later.
00:39:19.000 You guys for that?
00:39:21.000 All right.
00:39:24.000 Actually, do me a favor.
00:39:26.000 Let's turn around because they always tell me in the media that nobody wants.
00:39:29.000 The elections were the most fair and honest.
00:39:31.000 Everything was fine.
00:39:32.000 Don't ask.
00:39:33.000 How dare you question?
00:39:34.000 Let them know.
00:39:35.000 Do you want fair and honest elections?
00:39:37.000 Let them know.
00:39:39.000 Woo!
00:39:43.000 Do you demand elections that we can believe in?
00:39:47.000 All right.
00:39:47.000 That's right.
00:39:49.000 So, guys, when you attack me, Fake news, you're attacking the people of Arizona.
00:39:56.000 We don't ask for much.
00:39:58.000 We want to know our legal vote counts, and we're going to get that with the Governor Carrie Lake.
00:40:02.000 So I ask you to get out there and get 10 friends.
00:40:06.000 Who has 10 friends?
00:40:09.000 Who has three friends?
00:40:11.000 Let's go lower.
00:40:12.000 If you got three friends, raise your hand.
00:40:14.000 Can you get three friends out to the poll next Tuesday?
00:40:19.000 We'll take a small bite, a little baby step.
00:40:22.000 Now, if you're like Wendy Rogers, you've got at least 10 friends, and she's going to get Senator Wendy Rogers will get 10 friends out.
00:40:29.000 I know Congressman Andy Biggs will get 10 friends out to the polls.
00:40:33.000 Do what you can.
00:40:34.000 Wake people up.
00:40:36.000 Let them know, as Steve Bannon said, we need a resounding message to the world that Arizona is taking back their state and taking back their government.
00:40:49.000 Thank you, everybody.
00:40:50.000 We need to get our friends to the polls.
00:40:52.000 I travel the country.
00:40:53.000 I'm an Arizonan.
00:40:55.000 We're in this together.
00:40:56.000 I have to tell you, it is a gift from the Lord that we are here right now in this time and have a leader like Kerry Lake.
00:41:03.000 The entire ballot, vote up and down the ballot, knock on doors, get your friends out.
00:41:08.000 A week from tonight, we send the loudest message Arizona has ever sent to the American ruling class.
00:41:14.000 We're going to win.
00:41:15.000 They're going to lose.
00:41:16.000 God bless you guys.
00:41:17.000 God bless State 48.
