The Charlie Kirk Show - Why the Election Scandal in Maricopa is Even Bigger than We Thought

00:01:46.000 Elections have changed.

00:01:50.000 Elections are no longer what we grew up knowing them to be.

00:01:53.000 As we have said on this program for some time, it is now a contest.

00:01:58.000 It is now a tournament of ballots.

00:02:00.000 It's not about voters.

00:02:01.000 It's about ballots.

00:02:02.000 It's about finding pieces of paper and getting them in the right place within a certain time window.

00:02:08.000 The designer of all this is a man by the name of Mark Elias.

00:02:11.000 They do this under the guise, under the excuse of democracy.

00:02:16.000 They say, well, we are a democracy.

00:02:18.000 And of course, we are not.

00:02:19.000 We are a constitutional republic.

00:02:21.000 That is why I have been and we have been so focused on getting our language and our vocabulary correct.

00:02:28.000 But they say it's all about defending democracy.

00:02:31.000 When they are talking about defending democracy, they're not talking about the traditional promise that the founding fathers had for consent to the governed or the permission of the people or separation of powers or the beauty of the United States Constitution.

00:02:45.000 No, no, they're talking about what appears to be the consent of the governed, but in reality, it is a construct, a contest.

00:02:55.000 You could call it the tournament of the ballots.

00:02:59.000 Who can get the most amount of envelopes into the taxpayer-funded dropbox?

00:03:07.000 That's what we are living through.

00:03:08.000 And the designer of it all, the architect, the grand master is Mark Elias.

00:03:14.000 Mark Elias, of course, was involved in the Hillary Clinton campaign in 2016.

00:03:18.000 He was the chief architect of Russia Gate.

00:03:20.000 Mark Elias, according to Time magazine, was the conductor.

00:03:26.000 He was the maestro of the 2020 election.

00:03:32.000 Remember that article that came up by Time magazine, the shadow campaign that won the 2020 election?

00:03:38.000 That was Mark Elias hosting weekly Zoom calls and Skype calls with union organizers and ballot harvesters and ballot capturers.

00:03:47.000 Now, in 2020, we were took completely by surprise by how they used COVID and mass mail-in voting for their own advantage.

00:03:56.000 Now, because Republican legislatures in Arizona and other states did not act, we still have that infrastructure.

00:04:02.000 We could have got rid of drop boxes.

00:04:04.000 We could have got rid of all these different sorts of things, and we didn't.

00:04:09.000 We said, let's flood the polls on election day.

00:04:11.000 Let's go to election day.

00:04:12.000 And of course, it created a traffic jam with machine malfunctions and the sabotage, the ambush, the inexplicable changes in toner issues, where some would say one out of five.

00:04:24.000 Other estimates show three out of five anywhere.

00:04:26.000 We don't know the number of issues in Maricopa County on Election Day.

00:04:30.000 And Mark Elias was chuckling in the corner because he said, our people have already have, they already have their votes put through the system.

00:04:40.000 Happening in Pima County, in Coconino County, in Maricopa County, in Fulton County, in Cobb County, all across the country, the game, the contest, the tournament of the defenders of democracy was unfolding.

00:04:54.000 And some of us, myself included, were naive enough to say, well, we could get back to this idea of Election Day voting.

00:04:59.000 We did the 2000 Mules movie, didn't we?

00:05:02.000 This is going to put them on notice.

00:05:04.000 And it didn't put them on notice.

00:05:05.000 It only empowered them to do it more, to harvest more ballots, to capture more pieces of paper, to put more of them into these drop boxes.

00:05:16.000 When we were focused on candidate quality and debates and arguments and who is going to secure the southern border and who's going to stop fentanyl, people like Katie Hobbs and John Fetterman sat at home and did digital online fundraisers to secular, godless, miserable, rich young professionals in Silicon Valley and New York that gave $2,800 apiece gleefully to fund the takeover of America via Act Blue.

00:05:43.000 And the designer of it all was Mark Elias.

00:05:45.000 When you have an entire system that is changing in front of your eyes and the Republican Party becomes the muscular class, carpenters, electricians, welders, plumbers, and police officers, it's harder to fund a political movement that way.

00:05:59.000 The Democrat Party has become the upper middle class, the party of accountants, the party of computer scientists.

00:06:07.000 So they're able to raise money a lot easier.

00:06:09.000 Act Blue raised $1.8 billion.

00:06:12.000 Win Red raised $1 billion.

00:06:15.000 And there's no reason anymore for candidates to campaign.

00:06:18.000 Why do you have to debate?

00:06:19.000 Why do you have to answer to voters?

00:06:23.000 You don't.

00:06:24.000 No, instead, you run this synthetic, artificial construct.

00:06:32.000 Here's Mark Elias on MSNBC, PlayCut 67.

00:06:36.000 Kerry Lake is saying that there is voter suppression.

00:06:39.000 They're complaining that there are long lines.

00:06:41.000 Well, you know why there are long lines?

00:06:42.000 There are long lines because the Kerry Lakes and the Republicans have been making it harder to vote in Arizona.

00:06:48.000 They're complaining that voters were disenfranchised due to voter registration laws.

00:06:52.000 You know why?

00:06:53.000 Because Kerry Lake and the Republicans have made it harder to register in Arizona.

00:06:57.000 They're claiming that ballots were thrown out due to mismatched signatures.

00:07:00.000 You know why?

00:07:01.000 Because when we sued Arizona to make signature matching more accurate and make it easier for people to cure their ballots, they opposed us.

00:07:09.000 And by the way, on the long lines point, while they're crying crocodile tears about people waiting in line for an hour or two in Maricopa County, where are they talking about the students who waited for six hours in the cold in Michigan to vote in their election?

00:07:23.000 So Mark Elias, let me ask you, why don't you mention the fact that it was Republicans that were trying to get precinct-based polling voting, and we wanted 1,000 polling places in Maricopa County, not 223.

00:07:35.000 No, we warned about this.

00:07:37.000 You knew exactly what was happening.

00:07:38.000 Mark Elias dodged the question intentionally because Mark Elias is perfectly fine with mail-in voting, ballot capturing, ballot harvesting.

00:07:47.000 He does this all under the appearance of defending democracy.

00:07:52.000 The Democrats have found their star player.

00:07:54.000 Mark Elias is the one that has created what now the Democrat Party is able to enjoy as a power base by defending voting rights.

00:08:05.000 Why do you think they've gone so in on this narrative of defending democracy, defending democracy?

00:08:11.000 Why do you think the left is so pathologically obsessed with race?

00:08:19.000 There's a lot of issues with that, obviously.

00:08:21.000 There's a lot of reasons for that.

00:08:23.000 But they couch it in civil rights language.

00:08:25.000 If they're always talking in forms of race and then with democracy, they put those two things together and you're not allowed to touch any voting changes whatsoever.

00:08:36.000 We wanted more polling places on Election Day and we were shut down.

00:08:40.000 Hey, Mark Elias, here's a question for you.

00:08:42.000 Why is it that Mark Kelly, one of your disciples, one of your people that you prop up, Mark Kelly's campaign, came in and did not want to have polling places remain open on Election Day after the lines in Maricopa County.

00:09:00.000 How is that defending democracy, Mark Elias?

00:09:04.000 How is it when Republicans wanted to have more polling places on Election Day and we were shut down for that?

00:09:11.000 It was Adrian Fontes that designed all of this.

00:09:13.000 Adrian Fontes, that is part of your entire community of the tournament of the ballots, where you got mail-in ballots going in every single direction.

00:09:23.000 Ballot harvesters and ballot capturers and shady signature verification requirements.

00:09:29.000 That's what you have designed.

00:09:30.000 And he knows it and he brags about it.

00:09:32.000 On Twitter, he says very clearly, he said this tweet, he says, because I win.

00:09:40.000 He says, I do all this because I win.

00:09:41.000 The Democrats don't believe in quote-unquote democracy.

00:09:44.000 They don't even know what that means.

00:09:46.000 They don't believe in the will of the people.

00:09:48.000 They don't believe in the consent of the governed.

00:09:50.000 They don't believe in what the average everyday citizen wants.

00:09:54.000 No, no, no.

00:09:55.000 Now they have taken the Sololinsky Barack Hussein Obama Community Chicago organizing model and they've nationalized it and they've opened up the window using sophisticated voter technology, using online ability to raise money, and they mash it all together and basically they say, who cares if we run someone who can't talk, who won't debate, who's deeply unpopular?

00:10:21.000 We just got to get pieces of paper inside of a box.

00:10:27.000 Look, in the good old days, we Americans argued about which policies to pursue to improve this beautiful country.

00:10:33.000 Charlie Kirk here, too often we find ourselves arguing about whether or not America is great or not, or whether we should be ashamed or whether we should love America.

00:10:42.000 The reason for this is simple.

00:10:43.000 For too many years, too many of our schools have been neglecting to teach young people about our great heritage of liberty, presenting them instead a dishonest narrative of America as a fundamentally unjust or racist country.

00:10:54.000 Hillsdale College is winning in for America, the wonderful Hillsdale College, by offering a free online course, such as The Great American Story, A Land of Hope, Constitution 101, The Meaning of a History of the Constitution.

00:11:06.000 As we get closer to Constitution Day, September 17th, I encourage all of you to enroll in one of these wonderful free courses from Hillsdale.

00:11:13.000 And even better, encourage your friends and family to sign up too.

00:11:16.000 Begin your Hillsdale course today at charlie4hillsdale.com.

00:11:20.000 That is charlie4hillsdale.com.

00:11:22.000 Check it out, charlie4hillsdale.com.

00:11:26.000 I was watching some liberal television and listening to their commentators, and they're actually, they're deeply unhappy, far more than I would have ever have imagined right now.

00:11:37.000 I mean, you'd think that, you know, they keep the Senate, they have the White House.

00:11:42.000 But no, the fact that they even lost the house and that there's still some of us that are out there that are conservatives that we will not give up.

00:11:54.000 We will not give in.

00:11:56.000 We will not surrender.

00:11:57.000 It bothers them greatly.

00:11:59.000 If you watch a little bit of liberal television, if you read some of their newspapers and their publications right now, despite the fact that they had a better than expected midterm performance because they play the game and we don't, but that's going to change.

00:12:14.000 There's only one way to change it.

00:12:16.000 That if you read a lot of their blogs, you read a lot of their articles, it's as if they lost a piece of their meaning.

00:12:22.000 It's like, we lost the House of Representatives.

00:12:24.000 Doesn't matter if it's by one vote or by 20 votes.

00:12:27.000 You see, they're never going to be happy.

00:12:30.000 They're never going to stop.

00:12:32.000 They will only stop when we stop them.

00:12:35.000 We take back power from them.

00:12:36.000 It's going to take many years.

00:12:38.000 It's going to take a lot of time of convincing people.

00:12:40.000 We're going to have to play the game and legally ballot harvest and legally ballot capture.

00:12:44.000 We're going to have to be more sophisticated in our data.

00:12:47.000 We're going to have to embrace in-person early voting.

00:12:50.000 We have to no longer count on Maricopa County or Clark County or Cobb County or Fulton County to do things the right way.

00:12:58.000 We're going to have to play the game that the left has designed, that Mark Elias has designed, and we're going to beat him at that game.

00:13:06.000 No more denying it.

00:13:07.000 We're not going to change the Arizona voter laws.

00:13:09.000 Sometime soon, someone says, Charlie, nothing's going to change until we get rid of the machines in Arizona.

00:13:14.000 Well, unless that happens with Governor Doug Ducey in the next 45 days, if Katie Hobbs becomes governor, then it's just not going to change.

00:13:24.000 Now, currently, someone said, Charlie, what's the latest in Arizona?

00:13:27.000 Well, let me tell you the latest. 0.99

00:13:29.000 Arizona, in Arizona, Katie Hobbs is currently leading Kerry Lake in the governor's race by 17,116 votes.

00:13:41.000 The Democrat Chris Mays in the Attorney General's race is currently leading Abe Hamaday by 510 votes.

00:13:49.000 And they say that all ballots have now been completely counted.

00:13:52.000 It's over.

00:13:52.000 It's done is what they're saying.

00:13:54.000 But there's still some pending lawsuits.

00:13:56.000 Now, there haven't been lawsuits filed yet.

00:13:58.000 I'm being told by many people there's going to be some very good lawsuits filed soon.

00:14:02.000 And Kerry Lake gave an update on this, play cut 45.

00:14:05.000 Attorney General Mark Bernovich is taking the first steps necessary to remedy this assault on our democracy.

00:14:13.000 This isn't about Republicans or Democrats.

00:14:16.000 This is about our sacred right to vote, a right that many voters were sadly deprived of on November 8th.

00:14:24.000 Attorneys are working diligently to gather information.

00:14:28.000 Whistleblowers are coming forward and the curtain is being lifted.

00:14:33.000 Whistleblowers are coming forward and the curtain is being lifted.

00:14:37.000 I sure hope that's right.

00:14:38.000 It's going to take a very courageous judge to prevent the certification and for a revote in Maricopa County.

00:14:45.000 Very low likelihood that happens.

00:14:47.000 But that is the only remedy for what happened on election day.

00:14:51.000 The sabotage, the ambush.

00:14:53.000 They hate Kerry Lake so much that she was such a threat to them.

00:14:58.000 She is such a threat to them.

00:15:00.000 And we broadcasted our play. 0.98

00:15:02.000 We said, hey, here's how we're going to make Kerry Lake governor.

00:15:04.000 275 to 300,000 of us are going to show up on Election Day and we're going to vote in person for Kerry Lake.

00:15:10.000 And they said, okay, thanks for telling us your play.

00:15:13.000 Machine malfunctions in the most voter-rich Republican areas in the way where Kerry Lake was winning 70% of all the votes.

00:15:23.000 And by the way, one of the emails that came in our inbox yesterday that Mark Elias says doesn't exist, that the Washington Post says doesn't exist, is actually now being used as an affidavit in one of the upcoming lawsuits for Kerry Lake.

00:15:37.000 So if you guys have any of these stories, not being able to vote, not voting the way that you want, waiting in line, email us, freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:15:48.000 We want to compile them.

00:15:49.000 We can get them directly to the Kerry Lake team, freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:15:54.000 So the latest in Arizona is now that all the ballots are counted, if there is no successful legal challenge, it's Katie Hobbs, Adrian Fontes, and Chris Mays, Governor, Secretary, State, and Attorney General.

00:16:07.000 I sure hope some of these lawsuits come soon, and I sure hope they're written very, very tightly and persuasively.

00:16:16.000 Because Arizona with a Democrat Secretary, State, Attorney General, and Governor, geez.

00:16:23.000 If you want to know what the left's real plan is for your kids, just look at how they react to the wonderful company of Patriot Mobile.

00:16:31.000 I use Patriot Mobile, and you should too.

00:16:33.000 Patriot Mobile is America's only Christian conservative cell phone provider.

00:16:37.000 This is because they take a portion of your bill and fund conservative causes and candidates who believe in sanctity of life, freedom of speech, the Second Amendment, and they're winning.

00:16:45.000 Patriot Mobile is amazing.

00:16:47.000 They have affordable plans for you, your family, even your business.

00:16:50.000 They offer the same nationwide coverage as the major carriers because they use multiple major networks.

00:16:56.000 Plus, you're supporting conservative values with every call.

00:17:24.000 Larry says, Charlie, this is all your fault.

00:17:27.000 You told people to go vote on Election Day.

00:17:29.000 I blame you.

00:17:30.000 Shame on you.

00:17:30.000 Okay, look, you got to defend yourself.

00:17:33.000 Okay?

00:17:34.000 I'm not trying to belabor a point here, but you got to be very precise if you're going to attack us on this.

00:17:39.000 Okay?

00:17:40.000 I said I was going to vote on Election Day, but repeatedly we did warn on this program, and it's a learning lesson that I should have done even more and should have been more insistent that there's going to be a traffic jam on Election Day and we should entertain in-person early voting.

00:17:56.000 This is one of many clips.

00:17:58.000 This is one where I did a Salem Radio Network event in the Valley in Phoenix, Arizona, in Scottsdale, I'm sorry, trying to warn about what was coming on Election Day, PlayCut 44.

00:18:10.000 There's something I'm very worried about that all of you need to get serious about and you guys can make a difference.

00:18:15.000 How many of you plan to vote on Election Day?

00:18:17.000 Raise your hands.

00:18:18.000 Yeah, this is going to be a problem.

00:18:20.000 Maricopa County cannot facilitate all of you.

00:18:22.000 I'm telling you right now, they are creating a traffic jam, and it's going to deter conservative turnout.

00:18:29.000 So we got to fix it.

00:18:30.000 I'm telling you right now, we are going to see three, four, five, six-hour waiting lines in Maricopa County and Mesa and Goodyear and Sun City.

00:18:38.000 And unless you're ready to wait six hours to go vote, then we've got to figure this out.

00:18:42.000 So how do we figure it out?

00:18:43.000 I'm not a fan of nail-in voting at all, but in-person early voting should not be discounted unless you want to wait three or four hours a month.

00:18:51.000 I think we are going to see a traffic jam designed by Steven Richard, designed previously by Fontes, that criminal that used to be in there.

00:18:59.000 And there we are.

00:19:00.000 And so just, I wish I would have been more, I wish I would have repeated that even more and encouraged in-person early voting.

00:19:07.000 But unfortunately, everything that we predicted came true.

00:19:11.000 It's because that's how little we trust the left.

00:19:13.000 The left wanted to hold on to power so desperately. 0.66

00:19:17.000 They feared Carrie Lake.

00:19:19.000 They still do.

00:19:21.000 They fear her more than any other politician in America.

00:19:24.000 So here we are.

00:19:25.000 We're broadcasting game day, And the machines all of a sudden fail.

00:19:32.000 And they knew how.

00:19:34.000 See, what was so, in some ways, tricky about the situation is that the machines weren't counting the votes, but then Maricopa County had the perfect response in the sense of, well, just put them in box three.

00:19:46.000 What if I don't want to put them in box three?

00:19:48.000 They knew that we were going to put up a stink.

00:19:49.000 They knew that.

00:19:50.000 They had this all gamed out.

00:19:52.000 They knew that we were not going to put, we didn't want to just put it in some sort of drop three and box three.

00:19:59.000 So what ended up happening was chaos, confusion, lines, disgust, bedlam, chaos.

00:20:06.000 When I went in to go vote, as I've said repeatedly, it was just people running all over the place and no one was checking people in.

00:20:13.000 And so then you have the reddest precinct, one of the reddest precincts in all Maricopa County, Anthem.

00:20:20.000 Look at this line.

00:20:20.000 No sound.

00:20:21.000 Just look on television.

00:20:22.000 Play Cut 70.

00:20:23.000 Keep my mic on.

00:20:25.000 This is Anthem.

00:20:26.000 This is northern Maricopa County, right on the border of Yavapai.

00:20:30.000 Look at that.

00:20:30.000 That's a line and a line and a line.

00:20:32.000 Again, that was about a two and a half hour wait.

00:20:35.000 You got to imagine how many thousands of voters were disenfranchised and suppressed right there.

00:20:40.000 That's just one.

00:20:41.000 Look how that line keeps going.

00:20:43.000 Two and a half hour line because they couldn't get their act together. 0.81

00:20:46.000 So imagine the mom, imagine the single parent, imagine the plumber, imagine the construction worker.

00:20:52.000 Imagine the small business owner that just pulls into the parking lot and they see that and they say, forget it.

00:20:58.000 You know what they tell themselves?

00:20:59.000 You know, I support Kerry Lake, but, or I support Abe Homeday, but what?

00:21:02.000 My one vote doesn't matter.

00:21:04.000 Well, yeah, look, Abe Homeday is currently in the latest tally down 510 votes.

00:21:10.000 You're trying to tell me 550 conservatives didn't say that that day?

00:21:14.000 And by the way, how many people probably said, oh, Kerry Lake's probably going to win anyway? 0.99

00:21:17.000 She's up in the polls. 1.00

00:21:19.000 She said she's up 10 points. 0.67

00:21:21.000 Everyone says Kerry Lake's going to win.

00:21:22.000 I have to pick up my kids.

00:21:23.000 I have to take them back to work.

00:21:25.000 I know many of you in the audience right now say, oh, Charlie, come on.

00:21:28.000 Who would say that?

00:21:28.000 Hundreds of thousands of people would say that.

00:21:31.000 In fact, we have emails from people that say they didn't vote.

00:21:34.000 They got too busy and the lines were too long.

00:21:37.000 Right here.

00:21:39.000 Someone says here, Charlie, if I have to hear you say one more time, you warned people not to vote on game day.

00:21:44.000 I spent a year in Afghanistan as a Marine Corps machine gunner.

00:21:47.000 People can wait in long lines if they have to save their country, Chad.

00:21:50.000 Chad, you're wrong, man.

00:21:52.000 People don't do that.

00:21:53.000 They're not as dedicated as you are as a Marine.

00:21:55.000 I'm sorry.

00:21:56.000 People don't like lines.

00:21:58.000 People don't wait in lines at Culver's.

00:22:00.000 Some people don't like them at In-N-Outburger, and they don't like a two-hour line.

00:22:04.000 They're just going to, I don't need to do it.

00:22:07.000 I like Kerry Lake, I guess, but forget it.

00:22:10.000 And we know that.

00:22:10.000 We have real examples of that.

00:22:12.000 We have real evidence of that.

00:22:13.000 Now, you're a four-out of four voter, Chad.

00:22:15.000 You're an American patriot, but most people are not like you.

00:22:19.000 This audience is full of people like you, obviously.

00:22:22.000 And so when you see the lines and the lines and the lines and the lines, it starts to add up.

00:22:30.000 Let's go to another piece of tape here.

00:22:31.000 Katie Hobbs thinks she's going to be governor of Arizona. 0.94

00:22:36.000 By the way, there are four counties now that are refusing to certify the election: four: Mojave, Gila, Yavapai, and Cochise County.

00:22:45.000 Now, I don't know the specifics of this, but I do not believe Katie Hobbs can become governor of Arizona unless every single county certifies.

00:22:52.000 And these counties should not certify. 0.99

00:22:54.000 They should not certify until we get a revote in Maricopa County.

00:22:58.000 It's a very simple ask.

00:23:00.000 You disenfranchised tens of thousands, potentially hundreds of thousands of amazing people in Maricopa County.

00:23:11.000 You knew that they were going to vote on election day.

00:23:13.000 You knew they were going to show up in major numbers.

00:23:15.000 300% more Republican than Democrat.

00:23:19.000 Now, guess what?

00:23:20.000 I wouldn't be making this big of a deal of it if I wasn't lectured by you guys every day about democracy.

00:23:27.000 I'm not going to take it, and you should neither.

00:23:29.000 Every day I hear about being lectured about democracy by some sort of left-wing activists on television.

00:23:35.000 Oh, really?

00:23:36.000 What happens when democracy gets thwarted by machines?

00:23:39.000 Again, we're not a democracy.

00:23:40.000 We're a constitutional republic.

00:23:42.000 But let's pretend they mean democracy just by voting rights.

00:23:45.000 Oh, wait.

00:23:46.000 So when it's old white people in Anthem, Arizona, it doesn't matter. 0.98

00:23:51.000 Got it. 0.98

00:23:52.000 But if it's lines of black people in downtown Atlanta, we get consent decrees. 1.00

00:23:56.000 In North Carolina, they get a new election. 0.98

00:23:59.000 North Carolina, they did a whole new election.

00:24:02.000 By the way, most people, most voters are not like you.

00:24:06.000 I hope you understand this.

00:24:07.000 They're not news hawks.

00:24:08.000 They just say, I like Kerry Lake, and they show up to vote in Anthem or Wickenburg or Scottsdale.

00:24:12.000 And again, Bedlam, where I went to go vote, amazing poll workers.

00:24:16.000 God bless them.

00:24:17.000 They were working their hardest.

00:24:18.000 They were so sweet.

00:24:20.000 I went up to the machine.

00:24:20.000 They said, we don't know what we're doing here.

00:24:22.000 We call the technician literally in the morning, first thing in the morning, lines out the door, and people are running all over the place and they're screaming.

00:24:31.000 Like, this is not the way a voting center should operate.

00:24:34.000 It was designed and manufactured chaos.

00:24:38.000 So there are four counties, Gila, Mojave, Yavapai, Cochise, four conservative counties that are refusing to certify this election as it stands now.

00:24:49.000 I need to get the exact laws and get the rules, but from what I understand is Katie Hobbs cannot become governor if those states do not certify.

00:24:56.000 Play cut 61.

00:24:57.000 I think Arizonans and Americans sent a strong message to these election deniers that we're ready to move on.

00:25:03.000 But unfortunately, they are still ginning up these attacks on those responsible for our elections based on their false allegations. 0.94

00:25:14.000 And they're basically just being a sore loser. 0.95

00:25:19.000 And we cannot tolerate it. 0.97

00:25:21.000 This has to end.

00:25:22.000 And, you know, I think we survived a lot in this last election.

00:25:27.000 We helped save democracy, but it's not over.

00:25:30.000 And we have to continue to be vigilant and hold these states accountable for their dangerous political rhetoric that is causing this kind of threat.

00:25:38.000 I refuse to believe the people of Arizona voted her as governor.

00:25:42.000 It's just, I mean, you listen to her.

00:25:44.000 She doesn't debate.

00:25:45.000 She had no message. 0.72

00:25:47.000 She stayed in the basement nonstop. 0.99

00:25:51.000 And we're supposed to believe that that woman was able to win over swing voters in Arizona.

00:25:57.000 Very, very hard to believe.

00:25:59.000 Let's play another piece of tape here of what's happening in Arizona.

00:26:04.000 This is the view talking about Kerry Lake. 1.00

00:26:06.000 This is how much the media hates Carrie Lake.

00:26:08.000 Play cut 21. 0.90

00:26:10.000 Can I just dance on Kerry Lake's grave for a minute?

00:26:14.000 Because, you know, when you say. 0.75

00:26:16.000 So she went out there and she told Arizonans.

00:26:20.000 We have the clip.

00:26:20.000 Let's show it because it's so good.

00:26:22.000 We don't have any McCain Republicans in here, do we? 0.98

00:26:27.000 All right, if you want to kill the hell out.

00:26:29.000 So it turns out that when you say in Arizona to McCain Republicans, a man who was a decorated war hero, a prisoner of war, who served that state honorably for three decades, who was a mentor, who saved the affordable hair, when you tell McCain Republicans to get the hell out, they do.

00:26:47.000 And that's why you lost.

00:26:48.000 So you know what, John McCain, I hope you're having a Belvedere up there because I know you're chuckling.

00:26:53.000 They hate Carrie Lake more than any other politician in this entire cycle.

00:26:58.000 So now let me just give an update. 0.92

00:27:00.000 So there are two counties that I think officially refuse to certify.

00:27:05.000 If certification is not received by the Secretary of State, Katie Hobbs, by December 5th, all the coaches' votes will go uncounted.

00:27:15.000 Yeah, I mean, again, that was my speculation.

00:27:19.000 Unfortunately, that would give a boost to Democrats up and down the ballot in tight state races.

00:27:22.000 And some Republican candidates got as much as 60% of the vote in the county.

00:27:27.000 Yeah.

00:27:28.000 Now, there's almost no chance whatsoever that Maricopa County doesn't certify.

00:27:35.000 Unless a judge comes in and listens to hopefully a well-filed complaint, and we see what happens.

00:27:43.000 This one says right here, Charlie, I'm so sick of hearing about this.

00:27:46.000 It's time to move on.

00:27:47.000 Carrie Lake lost. 0.96

00:27:50.000 We need more people in the mold of John McCain and Mitt Romney, not like Carrie Lake.

00:27:56.000 Is that the way you guys feel?

00:27:57.000 You think we should just move on?

00:27:58.000 I'm getting a lot of emails like that.

00:27:59.000 People say that we should just move on and it's over.

00:28:04.000 Just allow the five to six hour line or two to three hour lines to be precise to go unchecked, the machine failures, the tabulation issues.

00:28:17.000 Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here.

00:29:19.000 They wanted to make an example out of Carrie Lake.

00:29:21.000 Carrie Lake, who had a very real movement, has a very real movement in Arizona of thousands and thousands and thousands of amazing people.

00:29:29.000 Someone who is running an actual campaign, not a ballot capturing operation, but an actual campaign.

00:29:36.000 They wanted to make an example out of her.

00:29:39.000 They couldn't do it in any other way, so they had to do some sort of game.

00:29:45.000 It is very telling that the left remains in a posture of misery.

00:29:52.000 They should be celebrating, right?

00:29:54.000 It wasn't as bad as they thought it would be.

00:29:56.000 No, they're still very upset.

00:29:58.000 That's who they are.

00:29:59.000 It's their default setting.

00:30:01.000 In fact, there's Kamala Harris trying to convince us to be happy warriors.

00:30:05.000 I mean, it is so forced.

00:30:06.000 It is so contrived.

00:30:07.000 It is so fake.

00:30:10.000 As Kamala Harris tries to tell us, she's some sort of happy warrior.

00:30:14.000 We are going to win in the end as long as we do not allow them to rob us of our joy, our happiness, our peace, and our meaning.

00:30:23.000 Politics is never the ultimate objective.

00:30:27.000 It needs to be, I think, lifted and raised in the hierarchy of our focus.

00:30:32.000 But there are things that we care about much more than politics because politics for conservatives needs to always be a means to a beautiful end.

00:30:40.000 For liberals, politics is the end.

00:30:43.000 It is the control of government.

00:30:44.000 It is the suppression of the enemies.

00:30:47.000 It is the perversion of our children.

00:30:50.000 For them, politics is not an instrument to go do good.

00:30:53.000 Politics instead is to get to be able to get to the end of to control the entire society.

00:31:01.000 We reluctantly get involved in politics as conservatives.

00:31:04.000 We'd much rather grow a business or grow a family or tend to our local church.

00:31:08.000 We reluctantly get in the arena.

00:31:10.000 And by the way, that's the way it should be.

00:31:11.000 That's the way the founders designed it.

00:31:13.000 But now they're forcing us to get more involved than ever before.

00:31:16.000 But our meaning, our purpose, what the Greeks would call our telos, our teleological orientation, should not come from politics. 1.00

00:31:25.000 Look at how miserable she is. 0.99

00:31:26.000 Play this cut. 0.75

00:31:28.000 Never let anyone take your joy from you.

00:31:32.000 I call myself a joyful warrior.

00:31:36.000 Right?

00:31:37.000 Never let anyone take your joy from you.

00:31:42.000 You do what you gotta do.

00:31:46.000 And isn't that a wonderful way to live?

00:31:50.000 To know you have purpose.

00:31:52.000 Show me a miserable person pretending to be happy.

00:31:55.000 I'm so happy.

00:31:57.000 Aren't I happy?

00:31:59.000 Don't let them rob you of the joy.
