00:01:36.000 I'm super excited for our next topic and guest.

00:01:39.000 This is one of the biggest issues of the 2024 election, and it is growing in popularity and importance.

00:01:46.000 Joining us now is Vani Hari, the food babe, author and activist who is leading a movement to make America healthy again with a very important event coming up soon in Michigan.

00:01:57.000 Vani, welcome to the program.

00:01:59.000 Please introduce yourself and tell our audience all about it.

00:02:01.000 Hi. Thank you so much for having me, Charlie.

00:02:04.000 My name is Vani Hari.

00:02:05.000 I'm the founder of Food Babe.

00:02:07.000 I'm an author and activist.

00:02:08.000 And I've been fighting for safe food for now what feels like most of my life.

00:02:16.000 And it all started when I hit rock bottom and I took out the additives and all of the harmful preservatives and the synthetic chemicals from my diet.

00:02:25.000 And I started to realize a level of health that I never thought was possible.

00:02:29.000 And I want that for all of my fellow Americans.

00:02:33.000 And so I started to share this information on my blog, Food Babe.

00:02:36.000 And it was quite incredible because I realized there's a community of people out there that not only care about their own health, They care enough to actually share this information in a very viral fashion and as a result was able to get major multi-billion dollar food corporations to change their policies and remove harmful chemicals from their food.

00:02:57.000 Places like Kraft removing artificial food dyes in the mac and cheese, Subway removing harmful chemicals that are chemicals that we would find in yoga mats and shoe rubber.

00:03:06.000 Getting the beer companies to release what's actually in beer and understanding what the ingredients are behind a beer label.

00:03:13.000 For so long, we didn't know what was in a can of Bud Light or Miller Coors.

00:03:18.000 And now our fight is with Kellogg's.

00:03:22.000 Kellogg's in 2015 said that they were going to remove artificial food dyes in their products.

00:03:29.000 They got a lot of fanfare.

00:03:31.000 They were celebrated all over the mainstream media for this announcement.

00:03:36.000 And instead, they have not done that.

00:03:38.000 They said they would do this change by 2018.

00:03:41.000 And there's nobody holding this company accountable.

00:03:44.000 Instead, they still serve their mainstay cereal Fruit Loops with artificial food dyes.

00:03:52.000 They sell 91 million boxes of Froot Loops every single day here in America.

00:03:59.000 It's up to almost a fifth of little children having maybe one bowl of this cereal a week.

00:04:05.000 It's insane the amount of Froot Loops that they're selling.

00:04:09.000 But also, not only do they continue to use the artificial dyes here in the United States, they're not using the artificial dyes in other countries like Canada, Australia, all of Europe, India.

00:04:21.000 So they're poisoning their own American citizens with these chemicals that are linked to health issues.

00:04:28.000 Back in 2010, there was a Southampton study that came out that was linking artificial dyes to hyperactivity in children.

00:04:38.000 And that's when the European Union said, you know what?

00:04:41.000 No longer are we going to allow food manufacturers to use this just unregulated.

00:04:46.000 So we're going to enact a warning label, a Well, you know what Kellogg's did?

00:05:01.000 and a lot of other food manufacturers for that matter did, they took out the artificial dyes

00:05:07.000 and added things like carrot juice and blueberry juice and watermelon juice and paprika

00:05:11.000 instead of using the artificial dyes so they would avoid the warning label.

00:05:16.000 But instead of reformulating their products here in America for their own American citizens,

00:05:21.000 they're an iconic American company by the way, and they did it.

00:05:25.000 They continue to poison us.

00:05:28.000 Our regulatory agencies are asleep at the wheel.

00:05:30.000 The FDA allows over 10,000 chemicals in our food supply here in the United States, and there's only 400 approved for use in Europe because you have to submit safety data in Europe before a food chemical is approved for use.

00:05:44.000 Here in the United States, it's the wild, wild west.

00:05:47.000 The food companies themselves We're good to go.

00:06:11.000 We are going to Kellogg's on October 15th in one of the most massive grassroots rally anyone's ever seen to hold American food companies accountable for this unethical and hypocritical behavior.

00:06:24.000 This is time that Kellogg's serves Americans the same safer versions they sell in other countries.

00:06:30.000 Vani, that was so helpful.

00:06:32.000 Thank you. And I just want to commend you publicly for your work and encourage you.

00:06:37.000 This work is going to save thousands, if not tens of thousands of lives.

00:06:41.000 And we see this in our health outcomes.

00:06:43.000 Again, I'm hardly an expert on this.

00:06:45.000 But from what I understand, we have the fattest country in the Western industrialized world.

00:06:49.000 We have the sickest country.

00:06:51.000 We are actively poisoning our children with the food that we are consuming.

00:06:57.000 I want to go deeper into the topic, but I want to get to the action item.

00:07:00.000 Tell us more about when and where and what.

00:07:03.000 I'm trying to get President Trump there.

00:07:05.000 I'm trying to get Bobby Kennedy there for Make America Healthy Again, because this is in the battleground state of Michigan.

00:07:11.000 Are you going to Battle Creek?

00:07:13.000 Are you going straight to the doorstep?

00:07:15.000 What is going on? What are you doing?

00:07:17.000 So at 10.30 a.m., we are meeting at a place called Friendship Park.

00:07:21.000 It's about a half a mile walk from the Kellogg's headquarters front door.

00:07:26.000 We're going to be meeting there for a massive rally.

00:07:28.000 We're going to have several different doctors and health leaders speaking to the people.

00:07:33.000 It's going to be live streamed, so you're going to be able to watch this from your home.

00:07:37.000 but we want you to come out to Michigan and be part of history.

00:07:40.000 Be with us, bring your family, bring your kids, bring the people that you love and care about

00:07:45.000 that need to know about our American food supply and how poisoned it's become

00:07:50.000 and what we can do to change it.

00:07:51.000 We're gonna have solutions there.

00:07:52.000 And then after those speeches, we're going to march as a team, all of us,

00:07:58.000 to Kellogg's headquarters and demand they let us in for a meeting.

00:08:03.000 Now, they won't invite us all in for a meeting.

00:08:05.000 I'm hoping that at least I'll get invited.

00:08:07.000 Hopefully, Callie Means and Jason Karp will be invited as well because they are stakeholders in this fight with me.

00:08:15.000 I think that it's really important that we sit down with the CEO of Kellogg's.

00:08:19.000 We talk about plans and what they can do to remove these chemicals immediately.

00:08:23.000 This has been going on far too long.

00:08:26.000 It's I mean, is it just money?

00:08:35.000 Is it that they don't care about our kids and they just want to try to squeeze the penny further?

00:08:40.000 I mean, this is inexcusable behavior from corporate titans.

00:08:45.000 Am I wrong? It is absolutely inexcusable.

00:08:48.000 It's immoral that they know that their product is causing harm to children, but don't change it.

00:08:53.000 And they already have the formulations.

00:08:55.000 We're not asking them to reinvent the wheel.

00:08:57.000 This is something they're doing for profit for two reasons.

00:09:00.000 Number one, A petroleum-based dye made from coal tar, such as yellow 5, yellow 6, red 40, is not going to break down on the shelf as fast.

00:09:09.000 Also, the endocrine-disrupting chemical that they're adding to the bags in America, but not in other countries, called BHT, is another preservative that they're using.

00:09:18.000 So they can keep the product longer on shelf in America And so they make more money.

00:09:24.000 The second reason how they make more money is they make it a little bit brighter with the artificial food dyes.

00:09:29.000 And so when you see a product, and I have them right here if you want to see them.

00:09:34.000 So this is the American version.

00:09:37.000 This is the Canadian version.

00:09:39.000 You see that the American version is a little bit brighter.

00:09:42.000 They found in focus groups that children will eat more of this product.

00:09:47.000 So not only are they contributing to health issues such as hyperactivity, they're contributing to the obesity epidemic that we're seeing in our young children.

00:09:59.000 I mean, look, parents have got to step up.

00:10:00.000 And I want to talk about the Bobby Kennedy Make America Healthy Again agenda, how it ties to President Trump, because I wish food was not political.

00:10:09.000 But so much of this goes through our regulatory agencies, goes through what the federal government can do.

00:10:15.000 And should do because this is a public health crisis.

00:10:18.000 We have a chronic disease epidemic in this country that is affecting our kids.

00:10:23.000 Half of our kids by the age of 15 are chronically obese or overweight.

00:10:27.000 Only 3% of the kids in Japan are chronically obese or overweight.

00:10:30.000 It's not as if other countries are poisoning their kids.

00:10:33.000 We're the leader in poisoning our children. 0.62

00:10:35.000 We lead the world in such an issue.

00:10:37.000 It's got to end. And I know President Trump has a plan for that.

00:10:40.000 Vani, I'd love to pick your brain on that.

00:10:44.000 Are you worried about the future of the US economy?

00:10:46.000 With so much uncertainty in the air, it's natural to fret about the security of your retirement savings.

00:10:52.000 But there's one asset that stands the test of time, and that is gold.

00:11:40.000 That is noblegoldinvestments.com, noblegoldinvestments.com.

00:11:44.000 Vani, just remind the audience about the details coming into Michigan.

00:11:49.000 Just the specifics, please.

00:11:51.000 Yes, we're demanding that Kellogg's drop artificial food dyes and the endocrine-disrupting chemical called BHT that they use here in the American cereals, but not in other countries.

00:12:03.000 We're going to be marching at their headquarters on October 15th, Tuesday at 10.30 a.m.

00:12:09.000 At Friendship Park, there's going to be a massive grassroots rally, and then we are going to march and knock on the door of Kellogg's headquarters.

00:12:17.000 I'm going to be asking the public that day to call the headquarters and demand that we sit down with people in charge to make these changes possible.

00:12:26.000 Can we talk about the politics of food?

00:12:28.000 Like all things, where there's trillions of dollars and billions of profit, there's very powerful people that tend to capture our politicians and our regulatory agencies to do things that are not in the best interest of the body politic, but instead of corporate interests.

00:12:44.000 Talk about the politics of food and how encouraging it is to have Bobby Kennedy involved in a national voice to try to reform this.

00:12:53.000 Well, let me just tell you, I have been involved in politics for a long time and I got out of the game for a really long time because I was so jaded.

00:13:02.000 You know, I was a delegate for President Obama for two years in a row in 2008 and 2012.

00:13:08.000 I quit my job and campaigned for him.

00:13:12.000 I was registered Democrat.

00:13:14.000 This is something that I was really excited about because he had talked about how he wanted to label genetically engineered ingredients and how he wanted to get this done.

00:13:27.000 And I just remember all of the blowback that the food and chemical industry gave to him and to Michelle Obama when they entered the office.

00:13:38.000 And they changed the narrative from the focus on food and chemicals to let's be healthier by moving more, right?

00:13:45.000 Let's have more exercise.

00:13:47.000 But that is not going to solve the root issue in terms of how we're being poisoned by these chemicals.

00:13:53.000 I got super jaded with politics, and it wasn't until recently where I was invited to be part of Senator Ron Johnson's Senate Roundtable that I felt like I had my voice back, that I actually have a chance actually to get this message out in a political arena.

00:14:11.000 You know, that room was filled with so many people that are passionate about saving humanity, helping fix the chronic disease issue and looking at the root cause of all the corruption, all of the different organizations and regulatory agencies that are being funded by these chemical and food and pharma companies.

00:14:31.000 And we were able to, for four hours during that session, Unfiltered.

00:14:37.000 Nobody trying to filter our voice.

00:14:40.000 We talked about it in a nonpartisan fashion about how to save humanity, and it was so beautiful.

00:14:47.000 It was doctors from John Hopkins, from Harvard, from Stanford, sitting in the room talking about their experience on how no one's addressing the root cause of disease, which is metabolic disease, which is what we're eating, all the different factors, how we live our lifestyles, how all those things can impact the trajectory of disease here in America.

00:15:11.000 This just goes back to, again, another situation where it was really Just so sad that was happening during the COVID years where nobody was talking about the fact that the people who were dying, the people who were really being affected by the virus, were the people that were metabolically sick.

00:15:31.000 There was not one single voice on the national stage that the mainstream media allowed to talk about the real issue of, like, We're good to go.

00:15:59.000 And things have to change if we're going to change the way our health is in this country.

00:16:06.000 And now with RFK's leadership and the fact that his track record speaks for itself, you know, people really want to pigeonhole me.

00:16:15.000 They're like, you know, Vani, do you think this is actually going to happen?

00:16:20.000 Do you think that this is just all political talk?

00:16:23.000 Is this just a politicalization of the topic?

00:16:27.000 I really don't think so.

00:16:28.000 When you look at RFK's record in terms of how he went head-to-head with Monsanto to literally hold them accountable in a way where billions of dollars were awarded to plaintiffs For glyphosate-causing non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and being involved in the chemical fight in that arena, of course this guy is going to fight for you.

00:16:56.000 This is so important. Again, this is not political.

00:16:58.000 This is about health. And unfortunately, some of this goes through government instrumentation.

00:17:06.000 Hey everybody, Charlie Kirk here.

00:17:07.000 Did you know that 80% of adults take supplements to feel our best, right?

00:18:09.000 Please continue with this story.

00:18:12.000 I'm captivated by it.

00:18:13.000 You were jaded by politics.

00:18:15.000 Bobby Kennedy, you were an Obama activist.

00:18:18.000 And now walk us through this journey.

00:18:20.000 It's wonderful to hear.

00:18:22.000 Yeah, absolutely. So, you know, again...

00:18:26.000 I have kind of bowed out of politics for a long time lately because, again, with the COVID years, with my activism that I had during the Obama years, you know, I used my delegate status at the Democratic National Convention to actually protest in front of the Secretary of Agriculture.

00:18:44.000 So that's kind of how I entered the national stage, if you will.

00:18:47.000 I held up a sign.

00:18:49.000 I wrote it with my lipstick saying, label GMOs.

00:18:51.000 And at the time, we didn't know whether there was a product that was bioengineered or not on the grocery store shelves.

00:18:57.000 No one knew whether they were eating GMOs or not.

00:19:00.000 And I felt like that was a lot of lack of transparency considering Europe and other countries had given There are citizens the opportunity to bow out of this kind of chemical intensive agriculture.

00:19:11.000 And now we know that this chemical intensive agriculture is causing cancer and autoimmune disorders and all sorts of chronic diseases here in America.

00:19:21.000 And it's really up to us to get the chemicals out of our food supply.

00:19:27.000 What I've realized is that nobody's holding these food companies and chemical companies accountable.

00:19:34.000 And someone like myself, someone like others out there that are nonprofit organizations like the Environmental Working Group, the NRDC, Center of Science and Public Interest, and others, Are out there doing this advocacy work, but they are literally railroaded in Congress.

00:19:51.000 You know, they're trying to have these conversations with Democrats and Republicans, and they're really having a hard time getting a lot of this stuff to be, you know, regulated because the food companies come in and they say, you know what, we're going to fund the competitor to your boss's campaign, and so you're no longer going to have a job.

00:20:11.000 And so it's like The food and chemical corporations are literally funding electors to make sure that we stay in the system.

00:20:21.000 And then they fund the research that's conducted at the NIH. They're funding the CDC, the FDA. And so none of this information can get out.

00:20:31.000 The truth can't get out about the chemicals in our food.

00:20:34.000 And that's a big issue.

00:20:36.000 And that's why I think the only way forward from this standpoint, we cannot continue on the path that we've been continuing on.

00:20:46.000 We have to have someone to come in and disrupt the situation.

00:20:51.000 And even this week, I saw something very interesting.

00:20:54.000 There was a policies for the people And I think it was, you know, RFK introduced it under Team Trump.

00:21:03.000 I'm not really sure what the political piece of it was, but I was just thumbing through there.

00:21:08.000 And I couldn't believe that one of the top issues in this that was submitted by the American people for the government to address was to ban artificial food dyes, that this would make one of the top searches, you know, in the first, you know, had over 13 million votes.

00:21:26.000 This is something the American people want.

00:21:28.000 Cancer is not Democrat or Republican.

00:21:31.000 This is something we have to come together to fix.

00:21:33.000 Why, in my Senate roundtable, at the end of my testimony, I invited both candidates to come to Battle Creek, Michigan to hold these American food companies accountable for this, because it's not just Kellogg's doing this.

00:21:48.000 Yes, they are doing it and they're targeting little children, and I think that's why we have to address them first.

00:21:53.000 But McDonald's is doing it.

00:21:55.000 McDonald's has three ingredients that they use in the UK in their french fries and salt is optional.

00:22:01.000 Then you have 11 ingredients here in the United States.

00:22:04.000 One of those ingredients is an ingredient that you would find in Silly Putty.

00:22:07.000 It's called dimethylpolysiloxane.

00:22:10.000 And when you dig down deep and you look in the FDA papers, it can be preserved with formaldehyde or neurotoxin.

00:22:17.000 Why are we frying our fries here in America with this substance and not in other countries?

00:22:23.000 The whole entire framework of chemical regulation has to be looked at and we have to dismantle it.

00:22:30.000 I want to play a tape from Senator Ron Johnson's testimony, who's amazing, from Wisconsin.

00:22:36.000 This is your testimony here that's gone viral.

00:22:38.000 Let's play cut 119, please.

00:22:40.000 In the U.S., there's 11 ingredients.

00:22:42.000 In the U.K., there's three, and salt is optional.

00:22:46.000 An ingredient called dimethylpolysiloxane is an ingredient preserved with formaldehyde, a neurotoxin.

00:22:52.000 This is Skittles. Notice the long list of ingredient differences.

00:22:56.000 Ten artificial dyes in the U.S. version and titanium dioxide.

00:23:01.000 This ingredient is banned in Europe because it can cause DNA damage.

00:23:06.000 Artificial dyes are made from petroleum, and products containing these dyes require a warning label in Europe, and they have been linked to cancer and disruptions in the immune system.

00:23:15.000 Gatorade. In the U.S., they use Red 40 in caramel color.

00:23:20.000 In Germany, they don't.

00:23:21.000 They use carrot and sweet potatoes to color their Gatorade.

00:23:25.000 This is Doritos.

00:23:26.000 The U.S. version has three different artificial dyes and MSG. The U.K. version does not.

00:23:33.000 Okay, so Vani, just for an audience member, this shouldn't be hard.

00:23:37.000 We are the wealthiest country ever.

00:23:39.000 We seemingly are able to solve simple problems, or at least we used to be.

00:23:45.000 What needs to get done for this to change?

00:23:48.000 Is it as simple as...

00:23:49.000 Corporate actors that just want to make money that are trying to make an easy buck and increase addiction via our food that keep it this way.

00:24:00.000 Is that the explanation or is there something more sinister going on here?

00:24:04.000 Well, we have to, again, we have to look at the regulations in terms of what chemicals are allowed for use here in the United States.

00:24:12.000 And we need to actually force food manufacturers to prove that chemical is safe before they use it here in the United States.

00:24:20.000 They can't just create a chemical in a lab or a new food substance and submit some paperwork.

00:24:27.000 They know the FDA doesn't have the manpower or the know-how to review all of this data,

00:24:32.000 and it just gets rubber stamped as, and it gets marked as generally regarded as safe.

00:24:37.000 There was a chemical recently, actually an ingredient, that entered the American food supply,

00:24:42.000 and a smoothie company was using it, and it was called TeraFlour.

00:24:48.000 And it not only sickened people, it made people have like emergency gallbladder surgery

00:24:55.000 to have their gallbladder removed.

00:24:57.000 This ingredient was a new ingredient.

00:24:59.000 It didn't have any safety data around it.

00:25:03.000 And the FDA took two years to even address it.

00:25:05.000 So think about all the people that were harmed in that timeframe.

00:25:11.000 We have other situations.

00:25:12.000 And this one is probably the most agrarious.

00:25:16.000 It is absolutely insane.

00:25:18.000 Red number three is an ingredient that's allowed in lipstick, right?

00:25:23.000 I'm sorry, not allowed in lipstick, not allowed in chemicals, but you can eat it.

00:25:28.000 The maraschino cherry industry lobbied Congress back when they banned this chemical because it causes cancer.

00:25:35.000 They lobbied them to keep it in, and because the alcohol interest was so heavy, They were able to keep it completely fine to use in food so that the maraschino cherries stayed bright bright red and all those alcoholic drinks that were popular at the time.

00:25:51.000 And so this can be changed through regulatory adjustments.

00:25:56.000 And let me just be as clear as I can say, how hard is it to simply ban some of these chemicals?

00:26:01.000 Say, we're done. We're not going to put up with this anymore.

00:26:04.000 Yeah, California is doing it right now.

00:26:06.000 They just banned red number three.

00:26:07.000 So in California, you can't use that, along with potassium, bromate, and a few other chemicals.

00:26:13.000 California just submitted unanimous, it was voted unanimous, all Democrats, all Republicans, to ban artificial food dyes in schools in California.

00:26:25.000 Okay? So this is something, again, that is bipartisan.

00:26:30.000 This is something that... Every single American should listen to and find out about what they're eating.

00:26:37.000 They need to start reading their ingredient list and understand the food that they're eating.

00:26:40.000 I'm getting messages from the highest of A-list celebrities about these issues, like Eva Mendes. 0.80

00:26:48.000 She's saying, you know, how can I get involved?

00:26:50.000 How can I support this?

00:26:52.000 This is something that's crazy.

00:26:53.000 I can't believe our own American companies are doing this.

00:26:56.000 I'm going to personally boycott Kellogg's.

00:26:58.000 And she made a post about this.

00:27:00.000 Then Khloe Kardashian this morning posts our campaign as well and says, I can't believe it.

00:27:06.000 I'm having my friends in Canada come in to the United States and bring me Fruit Loops.

00:27:12.000 And they taste the same, Bonnie.

00:27:14.000 Why are these companies doing this?

00:27:15.000 And I would have never known about any of this had I not seen this on your page.

00:27:19.000 And so it's like... The highest levels, I think, of awareness are starting to take place about how poisoned our food system is, and it's up to us to keep spreading the word We're not going to wait.

00:27:35.000 I'm not going to wait for the government to do something.

00:27:38.000 It has to be activist-driven, and it has to be bottom-up.

00:27:42.000 But there needs to be a top-down perspective, too.

00:27:44.000 And so, Vani, if I could, and I'm not sure even how you're going to answer, how are you thinking about this election?

00:27:50.000 Someone who was literally at the DNC for Obama, someone who was jaded by politics, how are you now viewing this contest?

00:27:57.000 Well, I'm really...

00:28:00.000 Being very cautious in that I think it's so important to work with both sides of the aisle when it comes to these issues.

00:28:11.000 And that's why at the end of my Senate roundtable, I invited both presidential candidates I've been reaching out to the Harris Waltz campaign.

00:28:21.000 I've been going on podcasts, on media interviews.

00:28:24.000 I've been talking about this.

00:28:26.000 I have not heard back from them.

00:28:28.000 And it is really sad, actually, because, you know, I've been on other podcasts of people that have been kind of on that platform.

00:28:36.000 On the left spectrum for most of their life thinking that, you know, that was the party of environmental regulation about chemicals getting that out of our environment.

00:28:46.000 And now because RFK has teamed up with Trump, you know, this situation is a lot different in that RFK is allowing us to have a national stage on these issues that we've never had before.

00:29:02.000 I don't think I would have been invited to Senator Ron Johnson's Senate Roundtable without some executive leadership at that level saying it's okay to talk about these issues I'm just thinking about, over the last month, how many people I have reached with this message as a result of that executive leadership.

00:29:23.000 And that's really what we need when we talk about removing these chemicals from the American food system.

00:29:30.000 We need executive leadership.

00:29:31.000 We need Harris and Waltz to talk about these issues, too.

00:29:34.000 And they're not. Where are they?

00:29:36.000 Where are all the Democratic-leaning mainstream media out there, too?

00:29:41.000 Like, none of them will have me on because Kellogg's and General Mills and McDonald's and all of these companies, I name names in the Senate roundtable, they pay for their advertisers, you know, and they will not have me on it.

00:29:56.000 I've been through this before, you know, I've been an activist for a long time.

00:30:01.000 I was dragged through the mud after I got Subway to remove chemicals and Kraft to remove chemicals and Starbucks to remove chemicals.

00:30:09.000 They did whatever they could to shut me up using paid for experts.

00:30:15.000 That's what they do. Yes, which I found out later through Freedom of Information Request Acts, where the chemical corporations were paying, quote-unquote, independent professors at these universities to literally show up every single time I was talked about in the article.

00:30:33.000 That's the model. Vani, I think you're an American here.

00:30:35.000 I think you do great. Where are the Democrats?

00:30:37.000 Good question. I know that you have a home here in the Charlie Kirk Show, and I know that President Trump and Bobby Kennedy will make this a priority to the administration.

00:30:43.000 Vani, thank you so much.

00:32:22.000 Carrie Lake has voted early.

00:32:24.000 She has just banked her vote.

00:32:27.000 She is running up against a...

00:32:30.000 not a good guy.

00:32:32.000 This is a guy who cheated on his nine-month pregnant wife.

00:32:35.000 Let me say that again. His nine-month pregnant wife, he cheated on her. 1.00

00:32:38.000 Filed for divorce when she was nine months pregnant.

00:32:41.000 Who does that?

00:32:43.000 Files for divorce and your wife is nine months pregnant? 0.82

00:32:46.000 He is anti-American, open borders, a total radical, Ruben Gallego.

00:32:53.000 Tons of George Soros money and Alexander Soros money is flooding the state to promote Ruben Gallego.

00:32:59.000 Ruben Gallego means more drugs in your community, more crime in your community.

00:33:04.000 The border will not be secure.

00:33:05.000 Ruben Gallego's dream is a wide open border.

00:33:08.000 Ruben Gallego has contempt for the United States of America.

00:33:11.000 Carrie Lake has voted early and she has banked her vote.

00:33:15.000 Play cut 120. Hey Arizona, it's me Carrie Lake and guess what?

00:33:20.000 I'm heading out to vote right now.

00:33:22.000 You know we have election season here in Arizona and so I'm gonna go cast my vote at an early voting center and I'm encouraging you to do the same.

00:33:30.000 If you have a mail-in ballot go grab that ballot.

00:33:33.000 Open it up, vote Republican all the way up and down that ticket, and then get it sent back in.

00:33:40.000 Or, if you like to vote in person, go to a voting center and vote there.

00:33:44.000 We gotta bank the vote.

00:33:45.000 We gotta chase the vote and make sure that we win this and save our country and save our beautiful Arizona.

00:33:52.000 See you later! You can track your vote, too, to make sure that the vote was received and counted all the way through.

00:33:58.000 Cary Lake had a debate last night.

00:33:59.000 I was there actually doing spin for Cary Lake afterwards in the spin room.

00:34:05.000 Tons of media. My goodness, I walk into this room, it's like I just get slapped across the face.

00:34:09.000 And I gotta tell you, they can't stand Cary Lake.

00:34:12.000 I mean, the nastiness from the Arizona Press Corps.

00:34:15.000 These are just, wow. I mean, seeing it up close and personal, it's remarkable.

00:34:21.000 Play cut 113, please.

00:34:24.000 Have Carrie Lake from her debate against the Rat.

00:34:27.000 Play cut 113. Impact for those border communities.

00:34:30.000 It's absolutely horrifying.

00:34:31.000 Hospitals having to close down.

00:34:33.000 Hospitals there that aren't being paid because people coming across illegally are getting services and they're not being paid for them.

00:34:40.000 And Rubin's idea is to actually funnel billions of dollars into the NGOs that are actually taking part in transporting people further into our country.

00:34:49.000 Not just here in Arizona.

00:34:51.000 Go to the airport. Take a red eye out of Phoenix Sky Harbor.

00:34:54.000 It looks like a migrant encampment because so many people are moving from Phoenix Sky Harbor to all points, all 50 states, and Gallego, Ruben Gallego has funded that.

00:35:04.000 That's what he wants to do. Carrie Lake then gave a great answer on the abortion topic. 0.99

00:35:09.000 Cut 112 is that 60% of people who have abortions say they would not have chosen to do so if they knew that there was financial or emotional help.

00:35:17.000 It's a very, very important point here.

00:35:19.000 Play Cut 112. I just saw a statistic and it broke my heart.

00:35:23.000 It said that 60% of women who have an abortion would have chosen not to have one if they knew there was financial help out there or emotional help.

00:35:32.000 And so if we are just offering a little bit of help to women, they will choose to have that baby. 1.00

00:35:37.000 We need bigger families. We need families out there.

00:35:40.000 Our birth rate is dropping to a precipitous level, actually dangerous.

00:35:45.000 And we can't just import new populations.

00:35:47.000 We want to have families growing.

00:35:50.000 We need to make sure Ruben Gallego does not become a U.S. Senator from Arizona.

00:35:53.000 This guy is completely unqualified.

00:35:55.000 He's a radical communist. 0.98

00:35:56.000 He's a bad person. 0.92

00:35:59.000 And you look at him and you say, what has this guy ever done in his life?

00:36:02.000 He's been a career politician.

00:36:13.000 Speaking of Ruben Gallego, this is a California poll, which could be instructive for across the country, especially in Arizona.

00:36:19.000 In 2020, Joe Biden won California Hispanics 75-23.

00:36:25.000 Right now, according to a Mason-Dixon Telemundo poll, Joe Harris is leading Trump with Hispanics 55-33.

00:36:34.000 A 20-point collapse for Kamala Harris with Hispanics versus 2020.

00:36:40.000 The buried lead of the 2024 election is how working class voters of all races will reject the Democrat Party.

00:36:47.000 They're doing 20 points worse with Hispanics versus 2020.

00:36:51.000 Wow. Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
