00:01:00.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campuses.
00:01:02.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:01:06.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:01:09.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:01:10.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:01:28.000 That's why we are here.
00:01:31.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.
00:01:40.000 Blake Masters is here.
00:01:42.000 He is running for the Senate race in Arizona, and he's doing a lot of different things.
00:01:46.000 And he said, Charlie, I got a very short window where I could do things.
00:01:49.000 I said, that's fine.
00:01:50.000 Get on the program.
00:01:51.000 Blake, welcome to the program.
00:01:53.000 You are closing the gap against Mark Kelly.
00:01:55.000 You're doing very well.
00:01:57.000 I'm telling you, the amount of Mark Kelly ads that I see out there is overwhelming.
00:02:01.000 But despite that, I see some very good trends.
00:02:03.000 How do you think the race is going?
00:02:05.000 It's good.
00:02:06.000 I'm the underdog for sure, right?
00:02:08.000 But that's right where I want to be.
00:02:10.000 We've closed the gap.
00:02:11.000 Most reputable polls have me down one, two, maybe three points.
00:02:14.000 And I actually think there's reason to believe it's closer than that.
00:02:17.000 So we're going to see it tighten up even more.
00:02:19.000 And the Democrats are learning, Charlie.
00:02:21.000 They can't just buy it.
00:02:22.000 I think they're surprised.
00:02:23.000 I think they thought with all Mark Kelly's money, they could just buy the election.
00:02:27.000 Turns out, nope, we've got the highest gas prices ever, the worst inflation in 40 years.
00:02:33.000 There's a recession.
00:02:34.000 Mark Kelly decided to hike taxes during the recession.
00:02:37.000 Crime is spiking.
00:02:38.000 Open border with fentanyl and illegals flowing in.
00:02:41.000 Things are not working.
00:02:43.000 And this electorate, you know, this just as well as I do.
00:02:46.000 It's not a purple state.
00:02:48.000 This is a red state.
00:02:49.000 This electorate wants to vote Republican.
00:02:52.000 We just have to get our message out while Mark Kelly is carpet bombing the earwicks.
00:02:57.000 But we're doing it.
00:02:58.000 We're going to win this thing.
00:02:59.000 Blake's race is one of the most important in the country.
00:03:01.000 You have an incumbent Democrat senator in a red state.
00:03:04.000 And by the way, Blake, I heard you say something the other day.
00:03:06.000 Is it true that independents in Arizona are voting for Republicans two to one?
00:03:11.000 Is that right?
00:03:13.000 They want to, because when you poll them, two-thirds of independents in the state know that Joe Biden has failed.
00:03:19.000 Nobody likes this.
00:03:20.000 Nobody likes Joe Biden.
00:03:21.000 Everybody thinks he's failed.
00:03:22.000 It's actually amazing that it's only two-thirds, right?
00:03:25.000 I'm like, who's the one-third of people that thinks everything is great?
00:03:28.000 But two-thirds of independents know that Joe Biden's failed.
00:03:30.000 What they have to know, what I have to go and spread the message about is Mark Kelly is Joe Biden.
00:03:36.000 These guys are joined at the hip.
00:03:37.000 Mark Kelly will ham and haw about, oh, I'm bipartisan.
00:03:40.000 I'm independent.
00:03:41.000 That's just what he said to get elected.
00:03:43.000 Because in D.C., Mark Kelly is voting in lockstep for Joe Biden's failed agenda.
00:03:47.000 Once we get that message out, once those independents learn what Mark Kelly's actually done in D.C., they want to make a change and they'll vote Republican.
00:03:55.000 So let's, and it's blakemasters.com to get behind Blake and to help him out.
00:03:59.000 Someone just said an email, and Blake, I think I'll answer it for you.
00:04:01.000 They said, Why doesn't Blake run more ads?
00:04:03.000 Blake, it's because you don't have $50 million that Mark Kelly is sitting on.
00:04:08.000 Is that right?
00:04:08.000 Please donate.
00:04:09.000 That's right.
00:04:10.000 People say, Blake, have you thought about countering these horrible attack cats?
00:04:12.000 And I say, Absolutely.
00:04:13.000 Have you thought about donating to my kids?
00:04:15.000 Exactly.
00:04:15.000 That's right.
00:04:17.000 But you'll see more ads coming soon.
00:04:19.000 We're actually closing the gap and we've got a lot of anti-Mark Kelly.
00:04:22.000 I love it.
00:04:24.000 Well, and that's an important thing, right?
00:04:25.000 Because so you're within striking distance while being outspent 10 to 1 on the airwaves.
00:04:29.000 We've been trying to warn people for quite some time that we, as the Republicans, MAGA candidates, are being outspent by these Silicon Valley oligarchs.
00:04:38.000 People said, oh, yeah, whatever.
00:04:40.000 And then we get these emails.
00:04:41.000 Why are we being so outspent on the airwaves?
00:04:43.000 Well, it's because when you become a working class party and all the white woke liberals that don't share our values go to the Democrat Party, there is a gap to fill there.
00:04:51.000 But despite all of that, I still think the trend is our friend.
00:04:54.000 Let's play cut 126.
00:04:56.000 We basically had inflation under control for 40 years, despite the fact that the price of oil fluctuated.
00:05:06.000 We lost the thread about a year and a half ago with massively expansionary policies relative to the size of the GDP gap.
00:05:19.000 The fiscal stimulus was five times as large as it had been during the financial crisis.
00:05:25.000 That's Larry Summers, who's Obama's economic guy.
00:05:28.000 Blake, we are living through an economic catastrophe made possible thanks to your opponent, Mark Kelly.
00:05:34.000 And then Mark Kelly votes for 87,000 new IRS agents.
00:05:39.000 Your thoughts?
00:05:41.000 Shows you his priorities, right?
00:05:43.000 And to hire those 87,000 IRS agents, remember, Mark Kelly had to specifically reject.
00:05:50.000 He said no to 18,000 more border patrol agents.
00:05:54.000 So that is Mark Kelly in a nutshell.
00:05:56.000 He left our border wide open, but he wants to hire more tax collectors to come after you.
00:06:01.000 These people just have their priorities backwards.
00:06:02.000 That's why we need to make a change.
00:06:04.000 Yeah, it's to punish the American citizen, to not prioritize basic needs for the country like the border.
00:06:10.000 And yet overnight, Ukraine gets another $12 billion.
00:06:14.000 If you're out there and you're listening and you say, oh, I don't know if I want to vote for Republican or Democrat, you are poor since Biden took office.
00:06:21.000 Play cut 31.
00:06:22.000 The markets are set to open after an absolutely brutal week on Wall Street.
00:06:27.000 Stocks now down $7.6 trillion since President Biden took office.
00:06:34.000 Now, I would not be surprised if the Fed comes in and they try to do something to boost this market before the midterms, because the Democrats are floundering right now.
00:06:43.000 The market is down.
00:06:44.000 Inflation is up.
00:06:45.000 There's all sorts of different things happening.
00:06:48.000 And Blake, we have to open up American energy.
00:06:51.000 We have to do very basic, prudent things.
00:06:53.000 Your opponent is running these ads that talk, it's a bunch of nothing.
00:06:58.000 I don't even think the ads are that convincing.
00:07:00.000 And despite all of that, though, you're right there.
00:07:03.000 You're right within that margin of error.
00:07:05.000 What does the new Republican Senate need to do if we take back the Senate economically?
00:07:09.000 Oh, we just need to stop, right?
00:07:11.000 The first thing to do is to stop Joe Biden's agenda, just stop the bleeding, right?
00:07:15.000 I want to be talking about the positive agenda.
00:07:17.000 I want to be talking about desalination plants powered by nuclear reactors to solve Arizona's water crisis, right?
00:07:22.000 We have a lot of plans for the future.
00:07:24.000 But first, we've got to get in there, take back Congress, and just stop.
00:07:27.000 Joe Biden's printing trillions of dollars with reckless abandon.
00:07:31.000 Well, that's going to cause inflation.
00:07:32.000 It's like, Charlie, what did they think was going to happen?
00:07:34.000 Every trillion dollars the government just prints makes every dollar in your wallet and my wallet worth less and less.
00:07:40.000 It sends prices at the grocery store just skyrocketing, right?
00:07:42.000 So, first, just stop the pain, right?
00:07:44.000 We need to go and play hardball with Biden.
00:07:46.000 I'm not going to vote for a single thing that Biden wants, not a single piece of funding, not a single appointee, unless and until we get border security.
00:07:54.000 I'm tired of this wide open southern border.
00:07:56.000 I'm tired of Biden just selling out our whole southern border, selling out our country, really, to the Mexican drug cartels.
00:08:02.000 And Mark Kelly, he's, if the cartel members could vote in this election, they would all vote for Mark Kelly.
00:08:08.000 He's like their business partner.
00:08:09.000 So we got to play hardball, stop the crazy spending, and get some border security.
00:08:13.000 Those are priorities one and two.
00:08:15.000 I really think that message is starting to settle in in Arizona.
00:08:18.000 I'm talking to a lot of different people and this nonstop blitzkrieg of ads.
00:08:22.000 It's so repetitive.
00:08:23.000 It's nonstop.
00:08:24.000 It's one.
00:08:24.000 And it's lies, by the way.
00:08:26.000 It's total, complete misrepresentations.
00:08:28.000 It's lies.
00:08:29.000 And people are feeling actual economic pain.
00:08:33.000 And the border is, I think, one of the top issues in the country, but it's definitely top two here in Arizona.
00:08:38.000 And then Mark Kelly, here's how you know that Mark Kelly is in trouble.
00:08:42.000 His ads all pander to Republican strike zone issues.
00:08:46.000 That's how you know he's in trouble. 0.57
00:08:47.000 He's not talking about Drag Queen Story Hour or the gender stuff because he knows those stuff is big losers in Arizona.
00:08:54.000 But instead, he pretends like he's some tough guy because he rented an SUV on the border and he found one person who's a bought off, probably cartel sympathizing sheriffs down there.
00:09:04.000 It's like, oh, yeah, I'm going to give you what you need to secure the border.
00:09:07.000 No, Mark, actually, you hired 87,000 new IRS agents.
00:09:10.000 We need border patrol agents.
00:09:12.000 We're being invaded.
00:09:13.000 Your thoughts, Blake.
00:09:15.000 That's exactly right.
00:09:16.000 Mark Kelly's got to use all that money to lie.
00:09:19.000 In order to have a chance of winning, the Democrats have blown it so badly.
00:09:22.000 In order to have a chance of winning, they have to lie.
00:09:24.000 They've got to try to tear me down and lie about me with those crazy attack ads.
00:09:28.000 They have to lie about Mark Kelly's record.
00:09:30.000 He's trying to be John McCain or even Kirsten Cinema.
00:09:32.000 And he's no McCain.
00:09:33.000 He's no Kirsten Cinema.
00:09:34.000 He's a left-wing cog in the DC machine, just rubber stamping Biden's agenda.
00:09:39.000 When we get that message out, and we're doing it, we're going to tighten this.
00:09:42.000 We're going to pass him and we're going to beat him in November.
00:09:44.000 Yeah, the latest Trafalgar poll shows that Blake Masters is down one point.
00:09:50.000 And it's not a good sign if an incumbent is at 46%.
00:09:54.000 That's a very, very bad sign.
00:09:55.000 He's spending $65 million.
00:09:57.000 That's right.
00:09:57.000 Well, I'm sorry.
00:09:58.000 It's a good sign for us.
00:09:58.000 It's a bad sign for him.
00:09:59.000 So if I was Mark Kelly's consultant or strategist, I'd say, okay, so we spent nearly $100 million if you count all the outside groups and our ceiling is 46%.
00:10:09.000 And you're seeing it all across the country and things happen in trends because of the stock market, because of the economy, because of crime, and all these different things.
00:10:17.000 The late breakers are going towards Republicans in big numbers.
00:10:20.000 And look, this is not easy.
00:10:21.000 Mark Kelly, he's going to pull out every single sort of trick he has, every single trick. 0.83
00:10:26.000 Tons of money, total nonsense.
00:10:28.000 But despite that, he's hitting a ceiling.
00:10:30.000 So everybody, it's blakmasters.com.
00:10:32.000 It's blakemasters.com.
00:10:34.000 Could you imagine Blake as a senator?
00:10:35.000 The country would be a much better place to play offense in Washington, D.C. and represent our voters.
00:10:42.000 Hiring should be based on merit, not on sex or politics.
00:10:45.000 Unfortunately, many large financial firms are using your money to force companies like Apple and Home Depot to adopt so-called racial equity audits.
00:10:53.000 That is not their job.
00:10:54.000 And the great company Strive Asset Management believes it makes companies like Apple and Home Depot less successful.
00:11:00.000 But here's the good news: it's your money, not theirs.
00:11:02.000 My friend, Vivek Ramaswamy's new firm Strive just launched the Strive 500 on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker STRV.
00:11:11.000 Strive uses their shareholder power to mandate America's largest public companies to focus on products and profits instead of politics and social justice.
00:11:18.000 The bigger Strive gets, the more powerful their voice will be.
00:11:21.000 Visit strivefunds.com that's strivefunds.com, or you could buy STRV on the New York Stock Exchange today.
00:11:27.000 That's strivefunds.com, and the ticker is STRV.
00:11:30.000 It's time to revive merit in corporate America.

00:12:03.000 Blake, some people are wondering, what's all this drama with McConnell and outside money and all this?
00:12:08.000 Walk us through it.
00:12:10.000 Yeah, you know, I guess Mitch McConnell pulled, I don't know, $18 million of funding that they had allocated to Arizona.
00:12:16.000 They pulled it.
00:12:18.000 Their official reason was, hey, you know, we're still bullish on Arizona, but...
00:12:23.000 Let's let other people come in and fill the gap.
00:12:25.000 And so I don't know what's going on there.
00:12:27.000 My attitude is I can control what I can control, right?
00:12:30.000 The hard dollars, raising money, doing events, doing media.
00:12:33.000 I can't control what Mitch McConnell does.
00:12:36.000 And my pledge is that we are going to have enough resources to win this race.
00:12:39.000 With or without Mitch McConnell's money, we are going to beat Mark Kelly.
00:12:42.000 We're going to take Arizona back.
00:12:44.000 I'm just extremely confident.
00:12:46.000 So I'd welcome the earth cover.
00:12:48.000 I think this is close.
00:12:49.000 It's an investable race.
00:12:51.000 I think it's going to determine the 51st vote in the U.S. Senate.
00:12:54.000 So I don't know what he's doing, but he's going to do what he's going to do.
00:12:56.000 If he wants to come in, great.
00:12:58.000 If not, we're still going to win.
00:12:59.000 How much outside money do you think has been announced recently that's coming in on your behalf?
00:13:03.000 I've heard about $8 million in the last 10 days or so.
00:13:07.000 And so look, Mark Kelly, he's on the airwaves.
00:13:10.000 He's got 3,000 points on TV, but we've got 2,000 points, anti-Kelly, pro-Blake TV.
00:13:14.000 So we're closing the gap here.
00:13:15.000 We're going to have the resources we need in October to win.
00:13:18.000 That's great.
00:13:19.000 And I think you're going to see a surge of small dollars support.
00:13:22.000 And Blake, this is a type of election, in my opinion, where Democrats got very hot over the summer.
00:13:26.000 They had all their summer fundraisers in Aspen and Silicon Valley and all of these incredibly dangerous Silicon Valley oligarchs that you're really challenging and calling out.
00:13:36.000 They wrote huge checks over the summer.
00:13:38.000 We're talking about $120 million from Soros.
00:13:41.000 You know, you've got Reid Hoffman.
00:13:43.000 We're talking massive checks.
00:13:44.000 And the Democrats were smart, which is we have to go super aggressive, super early because the trend is not our friend.
00:13:50.000 Republicans, I think, were taken a little off guard.
00:13:52.000 Republican donors weren't forking over checks so much.
00:13:55.000 And August was tough.
00:13:57.000 I mean, you had a tough primary in August.
00:13:59.000 You know, the moment you won the primary, Kelly was going negative.
00:14:02.000 And in some ways, we've actually had to kind of climb ourselves, R being the collective movement, out of a hole here.
00:14:08.000 But now it seems like, okay, ballots still have not come out in Arizona, but they are soon.
00:14:12.000 We're 40 days out from actually election day.
00:14:15.000 We're starting to see the trend all of a sudden go in our direction in a very positive way.
00:14:20.000 Television can move the needle one to three percent.
00:14:23.000 Plus, I think there is an under polling problem in Arizona, I think you agree, of Trump voters.
00:14:28.000 And I think the rurals are going to show up in massive numbers for you.
00:14:32.000 And I will say, Blake, I would love your thoughts.
00:14:34.000 I think a strong gubernatorial candidate helps you in this regard.
00:14:37.000 Your thoughts.
00:14:38.000 Oh, absolutely. 0.57
00:14:39.000 I think Carrie Lake is fantastic. 1.00
00:14:41.000 I think she's running a fantastic race. 0.99
00:14:43.000 You know, our internal polling has her polling about four points ahead of me.
00:14:47.000 And I think that's right. 0.99
00:14:48.000 Plus, you know, Katie Hobbs.
00:14:50.000 I don't need to tell you, Katie Hobbs.
00:14:51.000 I wish you could run against Mitchell Hobbs.
00:14:54.000 I mean, I would.
00:14:54.000 Katie Hobbs.
00:14:55.000 If you could run against Katie Hobbs, it would be dumb. 1.00
00:14:58.000 But Kerry is, and Carrie's going to crush Katie Hobbs. 0.97
00:15:01.000 And I think that only helps me, right? 1.00
00:15:03.000 Katie Hobbs is out with her leftism. 1.00
00:15:05.000 Like she just wears it proudly.
00:15:07.000 Mark Kelly at least hides his.
00:15:08.000 Mark Kelly's an incumbent.
00:15:10.000 Katie Hobbs is not. 0.97
00:15:11.000 Katie Hobbs has no money.
00:15:12.000 Mark Kelly has tons of money, right? 0.99
00:15:14.000 So I drew a tougher opponent, but I love being a ticket mate with Carrie. 0.99
00:15:18.000 She's running a fantastic race.
00:15:19.000 She and I will work great together.
00:15:21.000 And I think we compliment each other.
00:15:22.000 Well, she'll help me out here get the turnout high. 0.76
00:15:26.000 I think we're going to crush these Democrats in November.
00:15:28.000 At Turning Point PAC, we have billboards all across the state that say vote Blake and Lake.
00:15:32.000 It's all across the state.
00:15:34.000 You see them if you drive.
00:15:35.000 If you drive through the 101 or the 202, we got these big billboards.
00:15:38.000 Vote Blake and Lake.
00:15:39.000 But if you want to donate directly to Blake Masters' campaign, it's blakemasters.com.
00:15:44.000 That is blakemasters.com.
00:15:46.000 Are you going to get a debate against Mark Kelly?
00:15:48.000 Yes, I'm so excited for that.
00:15:50.000 It's on October 6th.
00:15:52.000 So, coming up in just about a week, we had to challenge him to four debates just to get him to agree to one.
00:15:57.000 Did you know, Charlie, Mark Kelly rejected a debate hosted by CNN?
00:16:02.000 It was probably going to be moderated by Tapper.
00:16:04.000 And he said, no, that's too scary.
00:16:05.000 So, we finally got him to do this PBS clean elections debate.
00:16:09.000 And I'm going to put him on the ropes.
00:16:10.000 His record is indefensible.
00:16:12.000 So, I look forward to watching him.
00:16:13.000 Well, and just be ready for this kind of fake thing from PBS.
00:16:16.000 You know, Blake, do you, what do you think about the big lie?
00:16:19.000 Offense, offense, offense.
00:16:21.000 Every answer, you got to play offense against these people, right?
00:16:23.000 That they're the fascists, they're all that.
00:16:25.000 Well, you'll have your own twist on it, but you can't let them set the terms of debate.
00:16:29.000 They want the borders open, they want inflation.
00:16:32.000 Enough of this nonsense.
00:16:33.000 But, Blake, you're super smart, much smarter than Mark Kelly.
00:16:36.000 And you look at the trends, and we're good at this on this program.
00:16:39.000 You know, we understand the data.
00:16:40.000 Tyler Boyer is on our team and he knows the stuff.
00:16:43.000 The trends are very good for you, Blake.
00:16:44.000 You're not there yet, but I'm telling you, this whole Republican ticket, I could just see this.
00:16:49.000 And I hear through the whispers that maybe Mr. Trump is going to be coming sometime soon.
00:16:54.000 I hear it through the wind.
00:16:55.000 Some people are saying, Yeah, we don't know.
00:16:58.000 Nothing confirmed yet.
00:16:59.000 BlakeMasters.com, one of the most important Senate races in the last decade.
00:17:03.000 You get Blake Masters elected as a senator.
00:17:06.000 Not only is that important for the broader control of the Senate, but Blake will be a fighter.
00:17:10.000 He's so smart.
00:17:11.000 He's young.
00:17:12.000 He gets it.
00:17:12.000 We got to get behind him.
00:17:13.000 BlakeMasters.com.
00:17:14.000 Blake, thanks so much.
00:17:16.000 Thank you.
00:17:19.000 I want to tell you about one of the most important organizations in the country, created by co-founder of the Home Depot, Bernie Marcus.
00:17:25.000 The folks at Job Creators Network defend and advance policies that help small business owners across America grow their business.
00:17:32.000 We talk a lot about labor in the media, and we're always responding to the complaints of labor.
00:17:37.000 And that's fine.
00:17:38.000 Obviously, it's important.
00:17:39.000 But who actually creates the jobs that labor actually is able to enjoy?
00:17:43.000 Big business has their lobbyists, but small ones don't always have the time or money to defend themselves against the forces of global corporations and their crony capitalist pals in the kingdom of Washington, D.C. Job Creators Network, that's right, Job Creators Network, fights for small business owners across America, and they're looking for a few good men and women to join their growing army of small business advocates.

00:18:40.000 I am going to warn the country about a race that could take a very disturbing trend in Utah. 1.00
00:18:50.000 We're seeing great trends in other states, but Utah, there's something happening that is really important that we talk about.
00:18:57.000 We got a lot of great patriots that watch in the state of Utah.
00:19:02.000 But Utah is an increasingly confusing political state.
00:19:10.000 Temperamentally and morally, Utah is one of the most conservative states in the country.
00:19:17.000 You can't buy alcohol on Sundays.
00:19:19.000 It's a very religious state with obviously a significant LDS population.
00:19:26.000 Utah has a divide in the LDS community, the same way that Christian evangelical divides exist, where there seems to be kind of a rhino, watered down part of the LDS world, and then a conservative, legitimate, pro-American, pro-freedom kind of coalition within the LDS community.
00:19:48.000 Now, it used to be the LDS world was the most conservative, but it seems as if in the last decade, you have more and more people coming out of LDS world being like Jeff Flake, being like Willard Mitt Romney, being like John Huntsman, and less and less being like the fabulous, the articulate Mike Lee.
00:20:12.000 I love the state of Utah.
00:20:13.000 It's one of the most beautiful places in America.
00:20:16.000 There's some great people in Utah.
00:20:19.000 And I know the people of Utah, especially the grassroots conservatives in Utah, are very, very frustrated with what's happening.
00:20:27.000 I am no fan of Mitt Romney. 0.90
00:20:28.000 He's awful. 1.00
00:20:29.000 Mitt Romney is a liar. 1.00
00:20:31.000 Mitt Romney is a deceiver. 1.00
00:20:33.000 Mitt Romney lied to Donald Trump and got Donald Trump's endorsement just because he was afraid of what would happen in a primary if he didn't get it. 0.78
00:20:40.000 And then he goes and impeaches Donald Trump, I believe, twice.
00:20:43.000 We could get a fact check on that.
00:20:44.000 I know he at least voted to remove him once.
00:20:48.000 Mitt Romney marched with BLM activists.
00:20:52.000 Mitt Romney is always going out of his way to pander to foreign interests, not American interests.
00:20:56.000 Mitt Romney's far more concerned about the borders of Ukraine than our own southern border.
00:21:02.000 And so now Mitt Romney is focused on a subterranean campaign, very sneaky operation in the state of Utah that all of you need to be made aware of.
00:21:15.000 One of the reasons I think this is not getting as much attention is because Mike Lee is such a decent man.
00:21:21.000 Mike Lee is such a good person that he's so focused on process and he always looks to everyone's better angels.
00:21:30.000 Mike Lee is without a doubt one of the most polite, gentle, genuine people I have ever had the chance to spend time with.
00:21:39.000 I'm honored to call him a friend.
00:21:41.000 But Mike Lee has just been railroaded by this entire Mitt Romney moderate LDS establishment in Utah.
00:21:51.000 There's a great article in thefederalist.com that talks about this because Mike Lee is not at risk of losing to a Democrat.
00:21:58.000 He is at risk of losing to a Democrat who calls himself an independent.
00:22:03.000 This is a very important story here in the Federalist.
00:22:06.000 Republican senators baffled by Mitt Romney's ploy to oust Mike Lee and maybe thwart a majority.
00:22:13.000 It's very important.
00:22:14.000 We're going to pull the fire alarm here for everyone across the country.
00:22:17.000 Mitt Romney is not focusing on trying to win back Republican seats.
00:22:22.000 Mitt Romney is not worried about helping out Blake Masters, JD Vance or Oz or Walker or any of these people.
00:22:28.000 No, Mitt Romney is worried about getting rid of the liberty-loving, constitution-loving Mike Lee.
00:22:35.000 We got to focus on this.
00:22:36.000 I'm going to walk through this because Mitt Romney, being the snake that he is, Mitt Romney once being our party's nominee, being a globalist pro-Chinese spokesperson, is now under the surface trying to get rid of a decent, courageous senator, one of the most powerful, one of my favorite senators.
00:22:57.000 And you don't hear a lot about Mike Lee at times because he does his job.
00:23:00.000 But no one understands the Constitution like Mike Lee.
00:23:03.000 No one understands the separation of powers.
00:23:06.000 He loves liberty.
00:23:07.000 So what's going on here?
00:23:09.000 Well, basically, in the state of Utah, the race has been winnowed down to Mike Lee versus Evan McMuffin.
00:23:19.000 Now has to run.
00:23:20.000 Oh, it's Mick Mullen.
00:23:21.000 Sorry.
00:23:23.000 Oops.
00:23:24.000 Same thing.
00:23:25.000 Run up against...
00:23:26.000 Remember Evan McMuffin McMullen when he ran for president against Donald Trump, trying to steal Utah away from him?
00:23:34.000 He's a CIA guy, by the way.
00:23:35.000 He parrots CIA talking points.
00:23:38.000 I think he used to work for the Central Intelligence Agency.
00:23:41.000 So he's running as a quote-unquote independent in the state of Utah, trying to peel away Democrats and that LDS moderate coalition in an attempt to defeat Senator Mike Lee.
00:23:54.000 The latest poll out of Utah shows that McMullen is only two points behind Mike Lee, with a full 16% of respondents unsure of who they will vote for.
00:24:07.000 This is not getting nearly enough coverage.
00:24:10.000 So it is conceivable that we win Blake Masters in Arizona, that we win Herschel Walker in Georgia, that we win Oz in Pennsylvania, that Ted Budd wins in North Carolina, and Ron Johnson wins in Wisconsin,
00:24:24.000 and JD Vance wins in Ohio, and Adam Laxalt wins, and we don't get a majority because we were so focused on defeating Democrats that it's possible that a CIA plant by the name of Evan McMuffin McMullen defeats Mike Lee and he caucuses with the Democrats.
00:24:46.000 And who is behind this?
00:24:49.000 Mitt Romney.
00:24:50.000 Mitt Romney is the architect and the pusher of trying to destroy our chances going into November.
00:24:57.000 The article continues by Molly Hemingway.
00:25:00.000 Mitt Romney is not endorsing in this race because he says he's friends with both candidates.
00:25:07.000 He has designed this entire operation to defeat incumbent liberty-loving senator Mike Lee.
00:25:13.000 Polls show that Republicans are on track to do well in November with incredibly tight races and contests.
00:25:20.000 If Democrats supporting McMuffin McMullen were able to pull off an upset in Utah, it would have a profound consequence for the future of the Senate.
00:25:30.000 McMullen was the figurehead of the 2016 coordinated effort to depress Republican turnout when he ran for president as a CIA operative.
00:25:40.000 At that time, he claimed to be motivated by concern that Donald Trump was not pro-life enough.
00:25:46.000 That was McMullen's complaint in 2016. 0.99
00:25:49.000 He is a total snake. 0.91
00:25:52.000 Do you see how desperate the Unit Party is? 0.96
00:25:54.000 We're worried about winning races in North Carolina and Wisconsin, Arizona.
00:25:57.000 We're going all out.
00:25:58.000 And meanwhile, they're going after one of our own in a fake independent run to try to defeat Mike Lee.
00:26:07.000 McMullen ran for president to try to take Utah away from Trump.
00:26:11.000 Thankfully, that didn't work.
00:26:13.000 But the person behind all of this is Mitt Romney.
00:26:20.000 Mitt Romney is trying his best to make sure that Anthony Fauci never gets held accountable.
00:26:27.000 Mitt Romney is the designer and the architect to make sure that we don't get rid of 87,000 new IRS agents, to make sure that we do not have oversight or checks and balances.
00:26:41.000 Mitt Romney is doing a very sneaky thing here in Utah.
00:26:45.000 And for every grassroots American out there, I hope you're hearing me clearly.
00:26:49.000 We have got to signal the alarm on this.
00:26:51.000 We have to call out Willard Romney.
00:26:53.000 We have to call out McMuffin McMullen.
00:26:55.000 This is a massive cockroach operation happening in Utah.
00:26:59.000 So we have this red wave building.
00:27:01.000 We have all the great prerequisites.
00:27:03.000 We have all the preconditions.
00:27:04.000 Unfortunately, the economy is collapsing.
00:27:06.000 The border is wide open.
00:27:08.000 Crime is surging.
00:27:09.000 We're finally getting our money straight.
00:27:11.000 And what do we have in the midst of an election?
00:27:14.000 Mitt Romney betraying us in Utah, trying to get rid of incumbent great Senator Mike Lee.
00:27:20.000 And then Mitch McConnell is doing some stuff up in Alaska that you have to learn about.
00:27:25.000 This Utah story is big.
00:27:27.000 Imagine election night and we're celebrating and we're saying, wow, we're going to take back the.
00:27:33.000 What's going on in Utah?
00:27:38.000 Why is this close?
00:27:40.000 It is conceivable that we defeat Democrats only to be defeated by a fake independent CIA plant in Utah.
00:27:51.000 The Unit Party is not counting seats.
00:27:56.000 They're counting votes.
00:27:59.000 Mitch McConnell, while his pal in Utah is running this operation against the wonderful Mike Lee, Mitch McConnell, while resources are so thin right now, Blake Masters, Herschel Walker latest polls are not great.
00:28:17.000 Ron Johnson is doing better, JD Vance, but resources are so thin.
00:28:23.000 And what is Mitch McConnell deciding to spend money on?
00:28:26.000 What is Mitch McConnell deciding to go do?
00:28:29.000 Thefederalist.com, Mitch McConnell, dumps another million dollars into Alaska to save Murkowski after ditching Arizona's Blake Masters.
00:28:43.000 Mitch McConnell has dropped another $1 million in support for Lisa Murkowski, trying to fend off a challenger from another Republican, Kelly Schabaka, who's a great candidate.
00:29:00.000 So Kelly Schabaka is up against Lisa Murkowski.
00:29:03.000 Why is it that Mitch McConnell is spending precious resources to go help a moderate Republican who has to defend herself against a grassroots conservative Shabaka? 0.78
00:29:18.000 Meanwhile, McConnell canceled $8 million in ad buys for Blake Masters.
00:29:26.000 So here you have two simultaneous rhino operations happening, beautifully written in the Federalist.
00:29:32.000 One where the money that should be going to flip Democrat seats is going up to Alaska, the great state of Alaska with amazing people, to try to put Murkowski across the finish line.
00:29:46.000 Meanwhile, you have Mitt Romney, who is very quietly creating a sneak takeover operation, a fifth column operation, a Trojan horse operation in Utah.
00:30:03.000 I've said this before, the Republican establishment is like the Vichy French. 0.98
00:30:08.000 Whose side are they actually on?
00:30:12.000 And so on this program, we're going to be covering all the different fronts of this war.
00:30:16.000 And yes, I'm seeing better and better trends, but we have got to say, what happens if they take out Mike Lee with this CIA agent, Evan McMuffin McMullen?
00:30:31.000 This is not getting nearly enough coverage, everybody.
00:30:34.000 And then in Alaska, Mitch McConnell's priority is to go help Lisa Murkowski, who voted to convict Donald Trump.
00:30:46.000 That's the priority of the regime in Washington, D.C. That's the priority of the Washington, D.C. cartel.
00:30:52.000 Mitch McConnell could have ended this entire thing in Utah.
00:30:56.000 If McConnell would have used his power, because everyone's afraid of McConnell, everyone is really afraid of him.
00:31:02.000 And he has a lot of power, admittedly.
00:31:04.000 All McConnell had to do was call Willard Mitt Romney and say, back off of this, get your CIA agent to stop running.
00:31:11.000 Let Mike Lee win.
00:31:12.000 Instead, now, precious resources are now going to have to go to Utah for good reason to go help Mike Lee.
00:31:18.000 I'm probably going to have to go visit Utah to go help Mike Lee.
00:31:20.000 I'm not complaining.
00:31:21.000 I'm happy to do it.
00:31:21.000 I love Mike Lee.
00:31:22.000 But instead, we should be spending our time, our energy, our resources on defeating Warnock, defeating Mark Kelly, and defeating Tim Ryan, and defeating that communist running in Wisconsin, Mandela Barnes, whatever his name is, defeating the guy in North Carolina.
00:31:37.000 So all of a sudden, now our resources have to be spread out.
00:31:39.000 It's an opportunity cost thing.
00:31:41.000 So Mitt Romney is launching a rhino sabotage operation in Utah, and then McConnell is spending his money not to go defeat Democrats, but protect Republicans that are basically Democrats against the amazing Kelly Shabaka.
00:31:58.000 What is going on here?
00:32:00.000 We, the grassroots, have got to raise our voice.
00:32:03.000 We've got to take back this entire operation right now.
00:32:07.000 There is one person who can fix all of this, and the only person that can fix all of this, and that is Donald Trump.
00:32:14.000 He's got to get back on the road more, in my opinion.
00:32:17.000 He's got to start bailing these candidates out.
00:32:18.000 He's got to start to get the midterm messaging in alignment. 0.52
00:32:21.000 These cockroaches, these vermin in the Republican establishment, they're able to operate freely because Donald Trump is not as active as I think he will be. 0.96
00:32:33.000 Lindsey Graham with that ridiculous abortion thing, I even say that as a pro-life or ridiculous abortion measure that will never get passed anytime soon as a way to sabotage. 0.97
00:32:41.000 You got McConnell funding Shabaka, and you got Mitt Romney drafting candidates under the table to go run against the amazing Mike Lee. 0.98
00:32:49.000 Left unchecked, these rhinos are going to destroy our chances.
00:32:52.000 We got to line up as the America First Movement.
00:32:55.000 We got to get Donald Trump back on the road.
00:32:57.000 We got to get all of these people back into line.
00:33:00.000 Keep your eyes open.
00:33:01.000 The rhinos are going to try to derail this really good trend we have going into November.
