00:00:48.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:01:45.000I grew up on a cattle ranch in West Texas, had a career in finance, which I left to get into the conservative media space.
00:01:53.000Started a news outlet, which I think is President Trump's favorite online news outlet called DC Inquire, and worked on some documentaries as well, including 2,000 Mules two years ago.
00:02:03.000And last fall, I was the executive producer of a movie called Police State, which traces how the federal government's been weaponized against conservatives and Christians.
00:02:12.000And I'll tell you, the DC Swamp does not want a Trump-backed Senator Cruz-endorsed conservative fighter getting elected.
00:02:21.000They've dumped $2 million into this district in total lies and slander only against me.
00:02:27.000But we're fighting back and we're going to win this thing.
00:02:30.000So tell us about your race, how many people are running and some of the dynamics involved of the people spending money against you.
00:02:37.000Yeah, you know, there are 11 people in the race.
00:02:40.000And maybe in my ignorance, before I got into the campaign side of politics, whenever I was in the conservative media space, I would always get frustrated.
00:02:50.000You know, after making 2,000 meals, for example, I'd always get frustrated with why do no politicians or very few elected officials, even on the Republican side, will ever talk about things like election fraud, that the 2020 election was stolen, or will take a serious stance against the weaponization of government against conservatives and patriots and Christians.
00:03:11.000And I've realized firsthand why that is.
00:03:14.000It's because whenever you do, as I have in this race, and I've been endorsed by President Trump and Senator Cruz, and I've been saying I'm going to be in the Freedom Caucus immediately.
00:03:23.000Whenever you do take that strong of a stance, the swamp goes ballistic.
00:03:27.000And what's happened is we're early on in this race, 11 people in there, but some DC Swamp super PACs have dumped $2 million into attack ads only against me, not in favor of any other candidate or against any other candidate, just trying to knock me out.
00:03:44.000And they're doing it because I'm the Trump guy.
00:03:49.000And I'm the person who will be unabashed in saying that the 2020 election was stolen and that we need to fight the weaponization at the FBI.
00:03:58.000So we're in a really interesting place right now where, you know, it's kind of me versus the swamp, but we're fighting back.
00:04:26.000And just to give you a sense for the scale of that, this was probably a $1.5 million race three weeks ago.
00:04:33.000These guys came in and turned it in basically overnight from a $1.5 million race to a $4.5 million race.
00:04:40.000So these are, you know, these are DC super PACs.
00:04:43.000And it's difficult to trace the way they set up these packs because the donors don't want their names out there and they intentionally try to try to obfuscate who these people are.
00:04:54.000But what it looks like is these are potentially Soros-linked packs.
00:04:59.000So George Soros made a big deal about flipping Texas blue several weeks ago.
00:05:04.000Two days after that, these packs were created.
00:05:07.000And it looks like it's also linked to some of the never Trumpers, some of the Never Trump or Republicans who, you know, for, I think it's great.
00:05:42.000It seems as if Democrats have been pretending to be Republicans for far too long.
00:05:46.000Yeah, you know, it's fascinating because what we're seeing in Washington in Washington is very similar to what's happening in Austin as well.
00:05:54.000There was a sham impeachment against President Trump.
00:05:57.000And you talked about, you know this better than anybody about what happened to President Trump.
00:06:01.000But it was the same thing with Ken Paxton in Austin.
00:06:05.000There was no evidence to impeach the guy.
00:06:08.000And yet they went and did it anyways out of the vendetta.
00:06:11.000And frankly, I think it all comes down to, again, Ken Paxton was very strong on election integrity.
00:07:31.000Well, I've said since the beginning of my campaign that I plan on being a member of the Freedom Caucus on day one.
00:07:36.000The Freedom Caucus endorsed me and some of the best conservative fighters who are in the Freedom Caucus guys like Jim Jordan, like Warren Davidson, Anna Paulina, Luna, and many others have also endorsed me.
00:07:49.000So my plan is immediately to join their ranks.
00:07:52.000You know, I get asked oftentimes, you know, what can you do as one person in a house full of 435?
00:07:59.000And my answer is that I'm not one person.
00:08:00.000I'm going to join the most conservative fighters and move as a unit to fight this leftist juggernaut in our country.
00:08:07.000Now, I've been saying, again, since the beginning of the campaign, that I think that we need to not only go back to President Trump's border policies that Biden got rid of immediately.
00:08:19.000We know that the border crisis right now, and this is the issue of the cycle, the border crisis is intentional, and the left is doing it to flood this country with people that they believe will be future reliable Democrat voters in perpetuity.
00:08:32.000And they're doing it intentionally to flood this country with drugs and with crime and to tear apart our social fabric to create a crisis that big government can step in to solve.
00:08:43.000And if we know that's why they're doing it, the answer is, and President Trump is ideologically on the forefront here of pushing for this, we have to deport every single illegal alien Joe Biden brought into this country.
00:08:57.000I'm going to be 100% behind him to do that.
00:09:00.000Now, you referenced some continuing resolutions, and you're exactly right.
00:09:04.000There's a reason that Congress's approval ratings are in the tank, and it's because we're governing via omnibus.
00:09:10.000We're governing via short-term continuing resolutions.
00:09:13.000We've got to go back to regular order.
00:09:15.000We've got to cut reckless spending, but we've got to get, in order to do that, we've got to get conservative fighters who are willing to actually stand up in Washington.
00:11:07.000We do maybe I can put it this way: we've had a Republican Party for the past several decades who's still living in the 1980s, who's still living as if the Democrat Party that we are up against today is the same Democrat Party that we were up against in 1980, the same Democrat Party of Tip O'Neill or of the Blue Dog Democrats.
00:11:30.000And the reality is that that Democrat Party is dead.
00:11:33.000And if we're actually going to win in the political sphere, we need Republicans and conservatives to wake up and realize it.
00:11:40.000That Democrat Party, which, you know, we I didn't agree with many things of the Democrats of the 1980s, but what we are up against right now is the Democrat Party of open borders, of driving our country off of a fiscal cliff intentionally, I think.
00:11:57.000It's the Democrat Party of putting dirty books in our little children's schools.
00:12:00.000I mean, could you imagine five years ago, we would be debating whether men and women can change genders or whether pornographic books should be in elementary schools.
00:12:11.000I certainly didn't think we would get here this quickly, but here we are.
00:12:15.000And we're at a point now where this is the Democrat Party who is creating an environment in America that is utterly unlivable.
00:12:25.000To your point, whether it's fiscal spending that will collapse our economy, it's not a matter of if it will, it's a matter of when.
00:12:33.000Intentionally creating just perverted curriculum in our schools, it's unlivable.
00:12:38.000And listen, I have a seven-month-old daughter, Marigold.
00:12:41.000She's the cutest little girl in the world.
00:12:43.000And we have got to create a better America for her and stop letting the Democrats rip our country apart and create a country that we don't even recognize anymore.
00:13:18.000We are feeling really, really good right now about potentially, we're hoping we can win this thing today without a runoff.
00:13:24.000Now, 50 is a high bar whenever there are 11 people in the race, but I've been endorsed by President Trump and Senator Cruz and Jim Jordan and the Freedom Caucus and the people of Texas 26.
00:14:13.000We haven't really covered the news because I don't want to demoralize.
00:14:15.000I try to pick the news not to, there's just so much negative news.
00:14:18.000Congress is just out of control right now.
00:14:20.000Continuing resolution, spending trillions of dollars, borders wide open.
00:14:24.000It's just an unbelievable, unmitigated disaster.
00:14:27.000Jim Jordan is joining us next to talk about some of the oversight and kind of what's going on right now in Washington, D.C. Trillions of dollars spending that we don't have.
00:17:24.000But, you know, look, we got to do what we told the American people we're going to do, and let's figure out a way to get that done.
00:17:28.000By the way, Charlie, the reason there's confidence is down in the dollar is because Joe Biden's in the White House.
00:17:33.000I mean, that's the relationship there.
00:17:35.000You were talking about gold and the dollar, but the reason there's confidence down in the dollar is Biden's policies, inflationary policies and everything else.
00:17:42.000So God bless you for pointing that out.
00:18:25.000Well, the first thing we did is the bill came through our committee and homeland security committee where we had the strongest immigration enforcement border security legislation, you know, HR2.
00:18:37.000So that came, we worked on legislation that would actually remedy the problem.
00:18:41.000But of course, Chuck Schumer won't bring it up and Joe Biden's against it.
00:18:44.000And then, of course, we try to bring in key witnesses and talk about the situation and then subpoena documents so that the Americans know what's going on.
00:18:52.000I remember the big hearing we had a while back, a year ago, when we asked Secretary Mayorkas, hey, what's the number of people who come across who are on the terrorist watch list?
00:19:24.000But as we've always said, they created this problem on day one with their intentional decisions to go against the policies President Trump had in place.
00:19:34.000So in addition to the border, we can't forget the Biden crime family.
00:19:45.000Can you just give us some update on the Hunter Biden deposition that didn't get the coverage that I think it deserved?
00:19:52.000You guys did a great job bringing him in.
00:19:54.000Can you give us some deposition update for our audience?
00:19:58.000Yeah, the biggest takeaway is Hunter Biden came in and said things that were in direct contradiction of what other people under oath, witnesses we've deposed, said.
00:20:07.000I mean, for example, he said that when he was in Dubai with his partner, Devin Archer, meeting with the CEO of Burisma, and he was asked by the CEO, can you help alleviate the pressure we are under from the prosecutor in Ukraine?
00:20:21.000Devin Archer testified that Hunter Biden stepped away and called D.C. and called his dad.
00:20:26.000When we asked Hunter Biden that, he says, I didn't call D.C. and I didn't call my dad.
00:20:29.000So somebody's not being square with us.
00:20:31.000You got two just contradictory, directly 180 degrees contradiction in statements.
00:20:36.000Hunter Biden said he doesn't know who the big guy is, never used that term, don't know who it refers to.
00:20:41.000Hunter Biden said, I don't ever recall dropping off a laptop at a computer store in Delaware.
00:20:53.000We're going to try to figure all that out.
00:20:55.000But that was the biggest takeaway in my judgment from his deposition.
00:20:59.000Yeah, I mean, I got to be honest, is this a new wrinkle that the administrative state has developed where their star witnesses just have selective amnesia whenever they have to be held accountable?
00:21:18.000Yeah, and I think they understand that if there was a referral, for example, if we would refer him to the Justice Department for not being square with us while he's under oath, testifying in front of Congress, I think they probably are pretty confident that the same Justice Department that was going to give him, that tried to sweetheart deal last summer, that same Justice Department's probably not going to prosecute him for giving false information to Congress.
00:21:42.000So I think he's probably pretty confident in that.
00:21:44.000Maybe that's why he came in and said the things he did and said them in the way that he said them.
00:22:15.000But what wins can you share with our audience, Congressman?
00:22:18.000Because we're desperate for a couple victories here.
00:22:20.000Yeah, hopefully we will not we're certainly not going to bring up the Senate bill that had the Ukraine funding and all the other funding in it as well.
00:23:23.000I don't know that he's capable of laying that out.
00:23:25.000But until that happens, I don't know why we would continue to send the hard-earned money of the American people to Ukraine, particularly when you think about the situation on our southern border.
00:23:35.000And the indifference about the suffering on the border is just so frustrating.
00:23:38.000And by the way, God bless you for that moral clarity on that, Congressman.
00:23:42.000And you have this two-seat majority, and just to be able to even get all the Republicans in agreement on that has just been nearly impossible.
00:23:51.000So I suppose we're going to get some sort of a deal for the individual spending bills.
00:23:56.000Can you just talk our audience about how we're at least starting to get rid of these mini, again, I don't think a mini-bus is a win, but I suppose it's better than an omnibus, I suppose.
00:24:06.000Yeah, I mean, I guess, well, in some ways, maybe, but, you know, you can get, what's the old line?
00:24:12.000You can get run over by two smaller buses just like you can get run over by one big bus.
00:24:16.000So we do have one of those smaller buses happening this week.
00:24:25.000Actually, I'm definitely a no because it's, I don't, I know we're not getting the policy that we want, particularly on some of the things relative to the Justice Department and the Department of Homeland Security, which our committee has tries to influence.
00:24:39.000What I think is the best strategy, and I know I don't like CRs either, but I'm actually for a long-term CR all the way to the end of the fiscal year.
00:25:05.000And then all of a sudden people want to come talk to you and say, you know what, those policies you wanted, those reforms you needed, and we're trying to get in the Justice Department.
00:25:12.000We're willing to talk to you now because we want our earmarks and we don't want to cut 1% funding in some of our key programs.
00:25:50.000They're going to pass one of these appropriation bills that is going to spend at a slightly higher amount, not saving any money and not getting the policy.
00:25:58.000Well, and what you're talking about, Congressman, is that, and I want to make sure I'm clear, is that it's an actual cut, not a cut in the rate of growth.
00:26:05.000I think that's an important distinction.
00:27:01.000One, we got a hearing this Thursday that starts to delve into how the big banks working with big government and other big corporations are looking at Americans' financial transactions, their financial data, getting information there.
00:27:12.000And it is just like with the Twitter files and all the censorship and the Facebook files and everything else we've uncovered, it is targeted towards conservatives.
00:27:27.000So we're going to launch into that with a hearing this Thursday.
00:27:31.000And then, of course, next week, we have Robert Hur, who was the special counsel who looked at Joe Biden's mishandling of classified documents and said Joe Biden willfully, intentionally, deliberately mishandled classified documents, willfully, intentionally, deliberately gave some of that information to the ghostwriter of his book, but he's not going to charge him because Joe Biden is an old man who's forgetful and would be perceived as sympathetic by a jury.
00:27:54.000And we're going to probe into that in an open hearing with Robert Hurr next Tuesday.
00:28:00.000Congressman Jim Jordan, keep fighting.
00:29:12.000The Maricopa County Recorder has got to go.
00:29:15.000Stephen Richer, we've been saying that for quite some time.
00:29:18.000Joining us now is State Representative from Arizona, Justin Heap, does a great job, member of the Arizona Freedom Caucus and candidate for Maricopa County Recorder.
00:29:27.000Representative Heap, welcome to the program.
00:29:51.000It has about 65% of Arizona's population lives in Maricopa County.
00:29:58.000And despite that, for the last four election cycles, we have had an election system that had been marred with chaos on day of voting, delayed votes for early ballots.
00:30:13.000And this, and if anyone remembers, in 2023, it took almost two weeks for Maricopa County to tell us who had actually won the election.
00:30:23.000And this has made Maricopa County the laughing stock of our nation.
00:30:28.000And so I am running for county recorder because as I have worked as a member of the legislature and the election committee, studying election law, seeing where the problems arise in our system, it's become clear that we have in our state election officials that are not following the law as they should, that basic procedures of safety, like signature verification, chain of custody, are not being complied with.
00:30:57.000And what this has done in Arizona and in Maricopa County specifically is bring about a precipitous collapse in the confidence that Arizonans have in their voting system.
00:31:09.000So I am running because We need primarily our fundamental duty as election officials is to make sure that we are reassuring all citizens that their votes count, that the election safeties, safeguards, and procedures are being followed.
00:31:29.000And our current county recorder is not doing that.
00:31:31.000We have had a precipitous drop in trust in the elections.
00:31:35.000In our last election cycle, we had 300,000 active Republican voters simply did not turn up to vote.
00:31:43.000Now, pundits can give all sorts of theories for why that might be and talk about candidate choice, but for me, that represents a monumental collapse in the confidence that we have in our voting system here in Arizona and in Maricopa County specifically.
00:31:59.000And so the only way that we can restore that confidence and bring those voters back and is by greater openness, by greater transparency, by assuring the voters that their vote matters.
00:32:13.000And that is the fundamental duty and trust given to our elected officials.
00:32:16.000And our current county recorder just is not doing that.
00:32:19.000So I intend to run an office that can run elections efficiently and that can follow our state laws and our safeguards and restore some confidence and trust in our system.
00:32:31.000That is the basis of our system, that the people's voice can be heard through their vote.
00:32:36.000And that is how we give the government consent to what our wishes are.
00:32:40.000And if we can't trust our election system, then it will be a disaster both for our voters here in Arizona and potentially for the whole country.
00:32:48.000It's all about trust and people's trust in the election system is at an all-time low.
00:32:53.000And we want, by the way, it shouldn't take all week to count ballots.
00:32:57.000It shouldn't take all week to get them in.
00:32:59.000I think we lost Justin there for a second.
