Transcript

00:00:00.000 Well, the left is terrified of my guest today.
00:00:03.680 It's weird because normally they worship strong, confident women who run for major office.
00:00:09.820 But this woman, wrong side of the aisle.
00:00:13.720 She's automatically a DEFCON 1 dangerous.
00:00:18.960 No joke, man.
00:00:19.720 Last week, MSNBC said she mirrors the, quote, anti-abortion, anti-immigrant, pro-fascism women who are winning elections in Europe.
00:00:33.240 Wow.
00:00:34.200 I guarantee that if her story was exactly the same, except she was a Democrat, they would have already coronated her as the candidate to replace Joe Biden in 2024.
00:00:46.240 Instead, she's ruffling all of the right feathers with an unconventional campaign, making mincemeat out of the media in which she spent most of her career.
00:00:57.660 She doesn't have a traditional campaign manager.
00:01:00.400 She's hired some friends and some people that she trusts.
00:01:04.220 She spends very little time fundraising.
00:01:06.620 She buys almost no TV ads.
00:01:09.200 And she doesn't believe in political consultants.
00:01:12.100 What's not to like?
00:01:13.620 She makes the campaign stage look so easy that her Democratic opponent still refuses to debate her.
00:01:21.160 Politico says, quote, she has communication skills that an army of consultants could never impart to a candidate with less experience.
00:01:31.220 The Republican establishment doesn't quite really know what to do with her either.
00:01:35.600 Democrats are horrified that regular Americans seem to like her.
00:01:40.980 The buzz just keeps growing around.
00:01:44.560 Republican candidate for governor of Arizona, Carrie Lake.
00:01:49.360 You'll love this podcast.

00:02:20.660 That's not what she sounds like.

00:02:52.920 Hi, Carrie.
00:02:54.700 Hi.
00:02:55.620 How are you?
00:02:56.080 How are you, Glenn?
00:02:57.240 I'm good.
00:02:57.760 Good to see you.
00:02:58.620 I'm good.
00:02:59.080 Good to see you.
00:02:59.680 Thanks for doing this.
00:03:01.820 I'm excited.
00:03:02.500 I mean, I've hit the big time if I'm sitting here looking at the Silver Fox Broadcasting.
00:03:09.200 Yeah, right.
00:03:10.420 So I think we should just start with, you know, I don't know if you remember this, but I think I had you on my radio show just maybe the few days, if not the next day after you quit television.
00:03:26.220 And you said you said you didn't know what you were going to do at the time, but you just knew it was wrong to be there.
00:03:36.960 And it sounded to me at the time, like maybe you would start your own news thing online.
00:03:45.620 Take me through the end of that to this.
00:03:51.240 It feels like a million years ago in some ways.
00:03:55.780 I stepped away into the complete unknown.
00:03:59.840 I mean, when you walk away from something you know and have known for 30 years, that's like stepping onto a new planet.
00:04:07.040 I joke, I didn't just move into a new chapter of my life.
00:04:10.500 It's a whole new book.
00:04:11.580 And I didn't know what I was going to do.
00:04:13.240 I thought about doing some media training with a local organization that I believed in.
00:04:18.360 And so that was kind of a one idea.
00:04:21.080 I was looking at maybe getting into media, but in a format that actually was right.
00:04:28.480 And not just right conservative, but actually on the right side of history.
00:04:33.800 But then there was that part of me that thought I've been working since probably before it was legal to work.
00:04:39.300 I mean, I've been working since I was a kid.
00:04:40.980 And maybe I should just take a month or two and figure it out.
00:04:44.480 And during that time, when I was talking to you, I was getting such great feedback from that video I put out when I resigned.
00:04:51.160 Oh, it was great.
00:04:51.740 I had no idea it would go viral.
00:04:53.300 I truly didn't.
00:04:54.040 I thought the people of Arizona would figure out why I was leaving, which is all I wanted out of that video.
00:04:59.020 But things started to come into me.
00:05:01.500 Everyone was like, you want to come work for me?
00:05:03.320 What about doing this?
00:05:04.740 How about you run for office?
00:05:06.300 And that was becoming real common.
00:05:08.280 You need to run for office.
00:05:09.360 We need you in politics because we trust you.
00:05:12.480 You love we know you love Arizona and you you love us, the people of Arizona.
00:05:18.340 So all of these, you know, ideas were kind of hitting my brain.
00:05:22.080 And I I was just trying to figure it out.
00:05:24.400 I think you had me on.
00:05:25.420 I think within a week of me quitting my job.
00:05:27.720 Yeah.
00:05:28.020 At that point, I had no idea what I was going to do.
00:05:30.580 But that was clear at the time.
00:05:32.540 You had no idea.
00:05:33.460 Let me let me take you to right before that decision was made.
00:05:38.360 Your husband's trying to talk you out of it, trying to say, right, Carrie.
00:05:43.640 I mean, this is this is you've been doing this for a long time.
00:05:47.680 It's good money.
00:05:49.200 What are we doing?
00:05:49.860 And then the two of you went to a church and you had an experience with a pastor.
00:05:56.240 Is this right?
00:05:58.140 Well, no, my husband was always supportive.
00:06:00.240 I mean, he knew that that had been weighing on my on my mind.
00:06:04.620 It had been weighing me down and and really affecting me spiritually for a long time.
00:06:11.400 He could tell that I was really struggling with having to read news that I felt wasn't fully truthful.
00:06:16.520 And I so he was fully supportive.
00:06:19.640 But it was actually after I made the decision to leave, I decided in November after the election, I'm going to leave.
00:06:26.800 I'm going to walk away from this career.
00:06:28.120 I was really mulling it over.
00:06:30.040 But it wasn't until I a girlfriend of mine said, hey, you want to go to I was doing Bible study at home one Saturday night.
00:06:37.160 And that's that's that's my social life.
00:06:39.620 Glenn, I was doing Bible study.
00:06:41.640 It was something online.
00:06:42.760 I was watching one of my dear friends who's now involved in the campaign, called me and said, hey, we're going to church tomorrow.
00:06:48.540 And I said, well, which church are you going to?
00:06:50.740 Because at the time our church was shut down.
00:06:52.760 It was appointment only.
00:06:54.780 She goes, oh, we're going to this.
00:06:56.820 You know, she named the church.
00:06:58.280 And I go, is that one of those mega churches?
00:07:00.700 Oh, I didn't know you were into that.
00:07:02.580 You know, that just seems so weird to me at the time.
00:07:05.380 And she goes, no, just go with me.
00:07:07.040 I know you're going to love it.
00:07:07.960 So I got up early the next day, went to church with her, had a complete, you know, come to Jesus moment.
00:07:16.020 Like God was right there, right there with me.
00:07:18.720 As a matter of fact, I cried during the service and the pastor came out and delivered a sermon that just cut right through right through the soul, right through the soul.
00:07:28.420 And I told my girlfriend at the time on the way to church, I go, Lisa, I'm going to leave my job.
00:07:34.880 I'm really going to leave it.
00:07:36.080 And she's like, no, you're crazy.
00:07:38.000 You're just having a bad week.
00:07:39.460 You make too much money.
00:07:40.740 Are you insane?
00:07:41.960 Why would you do that?
00:07:43.600 And after, during that sermon, we looked at each other about four or five times because it was this, if that pastor was speaking to me and reaffirming what I wanted to do,
00:07:53.600 and he was speaking to my best friend, telling her why I needed to do what my soul was calling on me to do.
00:08:01.000 It's amazing, isn't it?
00:08:02.400 It's amazing how that happens.
00:08:06.120 And then we went to that church, by the way, the next Sunday, and another sermon that just struck right to the heart.
00:08:14.240 It was as if he was just speaking to me only.
00:08:16.440 Wow.
00:08:16.720 And we've been going to that church ever since.
00:08:20.700 We completely changed our church.
00:08:23.180 We just had a real epiphany, I think, when it comes to our spirituality.
00:08:30.040 It's amazing what the right setting can do for the spirit and soul.
00:08:33.660 So this was Lisa that was with you then, right?
00:08:37.700 Right.
00:08:38.160 And she's running your campaign now, right?
00:08:41.440 She's a big part of it.
00:08:42.680 She's a big part of it.
00:08:43.840 And, you know, I brought people in like that, Glenn, because when I decided to finally step into this great unknown and into the swamp, my goodness, how scary.
00:08:54.020 That's almost scarier than leaving the fake news is then stepping into the swamp.
00:08:58.060 Yeah.
00:08:58.500 And I knew I had to bring in people I could trust because you know how many snakes there are in politics, especially in Arizona.
00:09:07.820 And I knew that the consultants in this town were, I felt very corrupt.
00:09:12.240 I won't go into great detail, but I knew I didn't want to hire any of the Arizona consultants.
00:09:18.380 So I just brought in, I call it a ragtag team of moms and church ladies and friends, a couple people who had worked in politics.
00:09:26.100 But one of the first people that came into my political realm was somebody who really did like ground game, advance work for the Trump team.
00:09:35.680 He was pretty low on the totem pole for the Trump team, but he knew a few things about politics.
00:09:41.700 And he helped me start to hire a few people here and there, just people who loved America.
00:09:47.600 So people came to you when you said, you know, people are coming to you.
00:09:51.900 How about working here?
00:09:52.760 I know the Republicans, at least I think I know the Republicans came and they wanted you to run for Congress.
00:09:58.340 And you said not interested in Congress.
00:10:02.760 What why didn't that interest you and what interested you in governor?
00:10:07.900 Well, I'll tell you, I when I started to explore and just kind of put my feelers out about politics, because I started getting so many messages from people in Arizona saying, please get into politics.
00:10:20.180 I started putting my feelers out and talking to a few people and they were like, wow, we're going to get another congressional seat, our 10th seat, which now, you know, we never got.
00:10:29.020 You should run for that.
00:10:30.340 It would be perfect.
00:10:31.300 And I just thought, I don't want to go into into Congress.
00:10:35.180 I want to stay here in Arizona.
00:10:37.160 And we saw during COVID, Glenn, how much power a governor had and how they could use that power for good or bad to to either help us or destroy our lives.
00:10:46.940 And too many governors tried to destroy our lives.
00:10:49.900 And so I was really looking at that.
00:10:52.060 I was mulling that over and I was mulling over running for the U.S. Senate.
00:10:57.120 And so I thought about both of them and I just started talking to people.
00:11:00.280 I just wasn't it didn't appeal to me to be a member of Congress, like, you know, four hundred and thirty five other people and the back and forth travel.
00:11:11.040 I didn't feel that I would have the impact that I wanted to have doing that.
00:11:15.660 So I immediately ruled that out.
00:11:17.660 I don't know if you know this, but CNN told us this week that we should start to feed our pets insects because pets.
00:11:31.380 Contribute to climate, global climate change.
00:11:33.760 And the only thing you can do is either don't have a pet or feed your dog or cat insects.
00:11:40.620 OK, no, not going to do it.
00:11:42.940 I'm not going to eat it.
00:11:44.000 I'm not going to feed my dog insects, not part of the plan.
00:11:51.860 Now, maybe you feed your dog insects.
00:11:55.000 Maybe you feed your dog kiddle food, whatever.
00:11:58.640 There is something that you can put on even insects that will make your dog like it.
00:12:04.160 Eat a healthy portion.
00:12:07.600 My dog was really against eating and then we put rough greens on the dog food and I'm telling you, it's like dog crack.
00:12:17.080 He loves it and it's good for him.
00:12:20.000 Vitamins, minerals, probiotics, antioxidants, you name it.
00:12:23.440 If it's healthy, it's in there.
00:12:25.060 I want you to go to rough greens dot com slash back.
00:12:28.240 You get a free bag just for your dog to try it out.
00:12:30.360 Make sure that he likes it.
00:12:31.820 I mean, who knows?
00:12:32.400 Maybe you would like the insects better.
00:12:33.940 Rough greens dot com slash back.
00:12:36.580 Just pay for shipping.
00:12:37.680 It's your first bag free.
00:12:39.020 Rough greens dot com slash back or 833 Glenn 33.
00:12:42.900 So, Kerry, I have watched.
00:12:45.920 I've seen you deliver two speeches now in person.
00:12:49.640 I don't think I've ever Reagan.
00:12:53.640 I don't think I've ever seen anyone as effective as you are delivering a speech.
00:13:01.160 And I think part of that comes from.
00:13:05.060 No, it's true.
00:13:06.220 And I'm sure I'm not the only one that said that part of it comes from.
00:13:10.640 I think you are who you say you are.
00:13:14.020 That's the way it feels to me.
00:13:15.400 You and I don't really know each other, but we know each other.
00:13:18.620 Right.
00:13:21.060 But I think that you're the real deal.
00:13:24.140 I also think because of your years in television, just like Reagan, he had the years behind the camera.
00:13:32.340 So let me get into some some real deal kind of stuff with you.
00:13:37.220 OK.
00:13:37.880 OK.
00:13:38.360 All right.
00:13:39.020 Because you kind of come out of nowhere.
00:13:42.640 And I guess I guess I first want to know why politics?
00:13:49.820 Why did you decide what made you say, oh, that's what I should do?
00:13:54.380 Why?
00:13:54.960 Well, first of all, I didn't come out of nowhere.
00:13:58.700 I mean, I've had a for the rest of the country.
00:14:01.520 I know you didn't know in Arizona.
00:14:03.160 I want to tell the rest of the country, because when I got into politics, people were like, we don't know her.
00:14:08.020 How you know, they were panicked because they went, oh, we have somebody who actually knows Arizona.
00:14:12.800 The people know her.
00:14:13.880 The people love her.
00:14:14.780 She loves the people.
00:14:15.700 She's got 85, 90 percent name ID in the state of Arizona.
00:14:19.920 Holy smokes.
00:14:20.920 How do we stop this?
00:14:22.320 And so the first thing they did is we don't know her.
00:14:25.960 Oh, my gosh.
00:14:26.420 We don't know her.
00:14:27.120 Who is she?
00:14:27.620 And I laughed.
00:14:28.560 I mean, I was on TV three hours a day for 27 years.
00:14:35.120 I mean, the people of Arizona know my husband.
00:14:39.360 We talked about family stuff.
00:14:40.820 They saw me out and about.
00:14:43.100 I was pregnant through two pregnancies.
00:14:45.240 I actually went into labor.
00:14:47.060 I was in labor for one newscast before I delivered my son.
00:14:54.680 And I mean, the people of Arizona do know me.
00:14:57.400 The political world and the consultant world were scared to death of me because they're like, oh, wait a minute.
00:15:02.300 We don't control her.
00:15:03.220 She's not hiring us.
00:15:04.520 Let's tell people that she's an unknown.
00:15:06.840 And I laugh at that because I have been an open book.
00:15:09.580 My entire life has been an open book.
00:15:11.960 And that's how you live when you work on television.
00:15:14.940 Well, as long as as much as you did.
00:15:17.600 I mean, I went through the same thing of three hours a day.
00:15:20.920 And then I went to New York and I was on television.
00:15:24.020 I've been in this business since I was 13 years old and they had the same reaction.
00:15:27.880 Who the hell is this?
00:15:28.800 Where did he come from?
00:15:29.740 It's an overnight sensation.
00:15:31.080 You're like, no.
00:15:32.400 And how dare he?
00:15:33.660 How dare he enter our realm?
00:15:35.320 Who are you?
00:15:36.220 But let me just say this.
00:15:38.360 When I said, I do know you, you this.
00:15:42.220 My agent said this to me when he called me and said, here, you're looking for an agent.
00:15:47.320 He was the best radio agent in the business.
00:15:49.640 And I said, yes.
00:15:50.780 And he said, well, I've heard some things that you're trying to change in your life.
00:15:54.940 This is 25 years ago.
00:15:56.840 And I was an alcoholic.
00:15:57.960 And he said, you know, I want to just check you out a bit.
00:16:01.760 And I said, fine.
00:16:02.560 And he calls me back and he said, OK, I've done my homework.
00:16:06.840 You appear to be sincere in your changes in your life, et cetera, et cetera.
00:16:11.180 I said, wait a minute, there's a chance you wouldn't have taken 10 percent of my money.
00:16:15.620 And he said, no, in your business and the same with you, three hours every day, you cannot fake who you are that long.
00:16:26.940 You just can't.
00:16:28.480 That's right.
00:16:28.980 You can be an actor and do script, but you can't do live television or radio for three hours and not really expose who you are.
00:16:37.200 Yeah, there'll be a crack somewhere somewhere where something goes wrong and the mics go out and, you know, the teleprompter dies.
00:16:45.420 I mean, I did so many shows where the teleprompter died.
00:16:48.080 We went a year where a teleprompter didn't work.
00:16:50.340 And I think we just said, turn the darn thing off.
00:16:52.440 We don't need it.
00:16:53.340 But that's why I think everybody in politics should sit down and do a three hour podcast.
00:16:58.000 I went on Tim cast a couple of times and you don't, you know, especially with those guys, you don't know what the heck they're going to ask you.
00:17:05.260 How do you react to some of these questions?
00:17:07.200 And and can you react and can you hold your own?
00:17:10.900 I think it's really important.
00:17:12.440 Yeah.
00:17:13.080 So.
00:17:13.500 So, yeah, I forgot what the question was.
00:17:15.700 I got sidetracked on why you wanted politics.
00:17:18.820 And I think you've I think you've answered that.
00:17:21.440 So.
00:17:24.400 You.
00:17:27.700 There's pushback.
00:17:30.040 There's pushback on your religiosity.
00:17:33.080 Now, I've talked to you personally and I didn't feel there was.
00:17:39.320 I mean, I thought you were extraordinarily genuine on the way you talked about God privately.
00:17:45.360 I don't want to go into our conversation, but privately, I thought you were extraordinarily real.
00:17:51.800 Some people who had worked with you anonymously said, I don't even think she was a Christian.
00:17:58.260 I don't.
00:17:58.780 I know she was a liberal for a while.
00:18:01.740 Can you tell me about your evolution on things?
00:18:05.360 Yeah, I would love to.
00:18:07.060 And by the way, I'm not crying.
00:18:08.240 You're not making me cry.
00:18:09.180 Glenn, I woke up.
00:18:11.220 I woke up this morning with a stye in my eyes.
00:18:14.760 So my eyes are watering profusely.
00:18:17.140 But you might make me cry by the end of this.
00:18:19.380 I don't know.
00:18:19.780 We're going to spend some time together.
00:18:21.480 I don't think so.
00:18:22.280 You know, I grew up in a large family.
00:18:25.680 My mom was Catholic.
00:18:26.800 I'm the ninth child.
00:18:28.160 So we always had a Christian upbringing.
00:18:31.760 And then my parents got divorced and I went and became Lutheran.
00:18:35.880 They were from, you know, they got married from the wrong side of the track.
00:18:39.620 The Lutheran marrying the Catholic at the time was very controversial back in those days.
00:18:44.380 And so I was confirmed both Catholic and Lutheran.
00:18:48.560 And I spent much of my life, both of those faiths.
00:18:52.000 So Catholic and Lutheran.
00:18:53.560 And of course, growing up and when you become working in TV, you start working weekends and
00:18:58.700 then you stop going to church because you're working weekends.
00:19:01.940 I worked mornings on Sunday.
00:19:03.700 I worked evening on Sunday and I was young and exhausted.
00:19:07.380 And we just kind of stopped going to church.
00:19:09.260 But I've always considered myself to be a Christian.
00:19:12.860 You know, I think the word was I was Buddhist.
00:19:15.340 I did a lot of yoga to, I think, alleviate some of the stress of the world working in broadcasting.
00:19:22.980 And it was during when my children were little, when they were born, the Catholic church was
00:19:28.820 having some real upheaval.
00:19:30.200 They were having the priests that were coming out.
00:19:33.720 All those stories were breaking.
00:19:35.820 And it really pushed me.
00:19:37.240 I'm going to be really honest.
00:19:38.240 It pushed me away from the church.
00:19:40.600 It gave me great stress because here I had these amazing babies in my arms.
00:19:45.780 And I'm hearing the stories of what had happened over the decades and nothing was being done
00:19:52.220 about it.
00:19:52.780 And so it turned me off from the church.
00:19:55.080 And we kind of went, we kind of went, I don't know, dormant for a while and just didn't go
00:20:00.540 to church.
00:20:01.100 And then our kids started to grow up.
00:20:03.160 And I realized, you know, we got to bring faith back into our children's lives.
00:20:07.920 And we sent them to Christian and Catholic schools and we rejoined the Catholic church.
00:20:13.620 And but I still never felt that connection.
00:20:16.740 And I didn't realize it until I got canceled in 2019.
00:20:21.980 I got canceled really hard because of a live mic situation that somehow got let out.
00:20:27.180 And looking at the live mic situation, I think it's kind of funny.
00:20:31.260 You'll have to Google it.
00:20:32.800 I won't say what I said on here, Glenn.
00:20:34.740 I don't want to get you canceled.
00:20:36.840 But what I said was the truth, the unabashed truth.
00:20:40.720 And I got canceled because of it pretty hard.
00:20:43.400 And it it gave me great stress because at the time I wasn't ready to leave my job.
00:20:48.260 And I felt that I'd done everything right and I'd been good to people.
00:20:51.700 And here I was getting raked over the coals and it wasn't my fault.
00:20:54.940 And the Internet world, the Twitter world was hating on me.
00:20:58.980 And the first time you get canceled, it's it's pretty tragic at the time, especially going back.
00:21:04.320 Now I laugh at getting canceled.
00:21:05.720 I get canceled every day by somebody.
00:21:08.300 And so I I prayed to God really hard.
00:21:12.080 I mean, I was like down on my knees saying, get me through this.
00:21:14.760 This this is painful.
00:21:16.240 Will I survive this?
00:21:17.500 And the next day, the cavalry, the cavalry came through.
00:21:22.340 All of a sudden, my supporters just started coming in.
00:21:26.580 They I guess they overwhelmed the TV station with phone calls and emails.
00:21:30.580 They started showing me love and support.
00:21:32.700 And I said to God, thank you.
00:21:34.580 You you did that.
00:21:36.040 God did that.
00:21:36.800 And from that moment, I started to really connect back with my faith and with God, with the Bible.
00:21:43.700 Well, I started wearing a cross from that moment on because my daughter said to me, we got so much hate from that being canceled.
00:21:50.860 She said, Mom, I'm worried about you.
00:21:52.460 I want you to start wearing my cross.
00:21:54.760 And it was a cross she had at the time to be so that you're protected from just some of the hate we were experiencing.
00:22:01.580 And now she's got her cross back and I have my own cross.
00:22:04.340 But anyway, that that started opening my my heart and soul back up.
00:22:09.500 And truly, from that moment of being canceled until I quit my job, God just was pouring into my life, pouring into my life.
00:22:17.880 And so during covid, I'll try to make this short because, Glenn, you're like, I'd like to talk to.
00:22:23.100 Oh, I'm covid.
00:22:25.440 I want to hear when.
00:22:26.320 When during covid, when half of our station was sent home to work in case covid were to spread and we didn't want to have to go off the air, I connected even further with God because I was working from home and I had a Bible sitting at my desk.
00:22:42.560 And I remember one day I was just kind of sitting around and I pulled the Bible down off my desk and opened it up and started reading the Bible again.
00:22:49.560 And let me tell you, reading the Bible in middle age at my age at the time was, I think, 51 or 52 is so much different than reading it when you're going through confirmation or you're in your 20s.
00:23:02.140 When you read the Bible in your 50s, whoa, I mean, it was like a ton of bricks in a good way, in a good way, because you've had life experience.
00:23:13.060 All of a sudden you realize, oh, my gosh, I had a moment where I was looking at my news scripts that were sitting on my desk that I was going to read for the news.
00:23:21.700 And I had the Bible open and I'm saying this is a lie and this is the truth.
00:23:27.680 The news is a lie and the Bible is the truth.
00:23:31.260 And so I just my spirituality just was growing, growing, growing.
00:23:34.880 And it kind of took, I think, the greatest turn when my girlfriend, my best friend introduced me to her church.
00:23:42.340 And that's when it just I felt a connection with Jesus that I hadn't felt in my entire life.
00:23:51.320 Isn't that amazing?
00:23:52.140 Here I was 52 at the time.
00:23:53.860 I walked into that church and the first three Sundays I cried through the church service.
00:24:00.600 As crazy as that sounds, if you've ever had that experience, then you get it.
00:24:05.900 But if you haven't, you probably think I'm crazy.
00:24:07.820 And it was just like a full, complete, I guess, revival within myself.
00:24:16.240 And I joined that church and it's been life changing and the pastor is amazing and the people are amazing.
00:24:23.580 And God just works in amazing ways.
00:24:26.260 Yeah, I will tell you that your answer, I've always believed if you if you say you believe in God and you had a transformational moment or you didn't believe in abortion and now you do.
00:24:42.720 I want to hear your story, I want to hear your story, because if you can't tell me the color of the room or the wallpaper in the room.
00:24:50.180 You didn't have that experience because that experience is so clear when you have that, you can define it.
00:25:00.300 You remember it clearly for the rest of your life.
00:25:03.100 I thought you I you know, the color of the wallpaper in the room.
00:25:08.060 I'm happy.
00:25:09.080 Oh, I, you know, I mean, I can go into into some detail about those first.
00:25:15.260 But the craziest thing was, I thought sometimes, you know, the megachurches, I guess it's a megachurch.
00:25:21.460 I don't know if you call it that, but they do an amazing music light show.
00:25:26.640 So there's the you know, it's like a concert.
00:25:29.420 And I used to see that kind of stuff on TV and kind of roll my eyes.
00:25:33.060 Now, I realize if you can't put on your best show on Sunday, pull out your Sunday best, do a light show, play the best music, bring the most talented singers and and musicians out on a Sunday when you're worshiping God.
00:25:48.440 But you can do it for a rock concert or then you're worshiping the wrong thing.
00:25:53.760 Yeah.
00:25:54.260 And so I absolutely love it.
00:25:56.500 I love that we have a church here, Gateway, and I love their worship service.
00:26:02.240 I love it.
00:26:02.900 It's not my faith, but I love it.
00:26:05.960 Just love it.
00:26:06.960 It is such a great way to praise God.
00:26:10.040 There is nothing like going to the grocery store and paying too much for low quality meat that in some cases can have some pretty nasty bacteria on it.
00:26:20.080 Thankfully, Good Ranchers delivers America's best meat, seafood, right to your door.

00:26:32.560 Wouldn't be bad.
00:26:33.340 I'm just saying they're running their October feast special right now.

00:27:02.920 Store bought meat.
00:27:04.600 I don't want to get into all the things store bought meat and what I think about it.
00:27:07.660 But let me just say this.
00:27:08.720 When it says product of the USA, probably not product of the USA.
00:27:14.940 Some stores, about 10 percent of it is product of the USA, but all of it will have a sticker on it.
00:27:20.880 Good Rancher.
00:27:21.540 They will let you save twenty five percent on.
00:27:24.580 Sorry.
00:27:25.060 Twenty five dollars on every box and lock in your price.

00:27:31.280 Good Ranchers dot com slash Glenn.
00:27:34.340 Good Ranchers dot com slash Glenn.
00:27:37.240 Let me ask you about your transition, because I think you were you were a Republican.
00:27:46.760 Then you left the Republicans in oh six, became an independent.
00:27:52.820 And then you registered a Democrat as a Democrat after Obama.
00:27:56.800 And then on 2012, you changed back to a Republican.
00:28:02.380 Tell me what was going on in my brain.
00:28:06.420 OK, we're going back in history.
00:28:08.220 Yeah.
00:28:08.800 You know, I I registered as a Republican when I was 18.
00:28:12.480 Reagan was my that was the president of my youth.
00:28:16.640 When I was 10, nine or 10, he was elected and I just thought he was the greatest thing ever.
00:28:23.180 I mean, he was the greatest thing ever.
00:28:25.340 And I didn't even realize that there were critics of him.
00:28:28.120 This is how innocent I was as a child until I went off to college.
00:28:31.120 And it was a college professor who started complaining about Reagan when I was 17.
00:28:36.460 So I went to college pretty young.
00:28:37.720 I graduated from high school at 16 and I was like shocked by it.
00:28:42.380 I went, you mean there's somebody who doesn't love Ronald Reagan?
00:28:45.540 Of course, you go to a liberal university and they start doing that.
00:28:48.800 Right.
00:28:49.160 And so he inspired me and I registered as a Republican at 18.
00:28:53.880 I voted for George Bush and I voted for all, you know, all the Republicans right up until
00:28:59.440 I didn't even vote for Clinton, which I know at the time I felt really odd not voting for
00:29:05.000 Clinton because everybody my age was voting for Clinton.
00:29:08.280 But when I had again, when I had little little babies, I'm looking at my kids.
00:29:13.660 I remember when I was in the hospital delivering Ruby, the Iraq war was just about ready to
00:29:19.780 start.
00:29:20.580 And I thought, why are we starting a war in Iraq?
00:29:24.580 You know, something happens to you when you're a young mother, you get real, your heart kind
00:29:28.900 of moves from the inside of your body into the outside and you start going, wait a minute,
00:29:32.180 what's going on here?
00:29:33.240 I was very much opposed to that.
00:29:34.600 I thought we were lied.
00:29:35.680 They did lie to us.
00:29:36.740 They lied us into that war.
00:29:38.640 And I was looking at which candidate is going to end this war because it's setting up to
00:29:44.780 be an endless war.
00:29:46.440 And I knew John McCain personally had covered him.
00:29:49.820 I covered him many years at that point.
00:29:51.520 And I said, he's not going to be the one that ends a war.
00:29:53.860 I just didn't believe that.
00:29:55.360 So I took a chance on Barack Obama.
00:29:57.720 I was excited about our first black president.
00:30:00.640 There was a lot of excitement that built up to him.
00:30:03.540 And and we voted for Obama.
00:30:05.480 We were excited about him.
00:30:06.820 It didn't turn out.
00:30:07.720 I think now I look at I look at the way he led and he had a real opportunity to bring
00:30:12.880 our country together.
00:30:14.200 And he did not do that.
00:30:15.940 I think he did just the opposite, sadly.
00:30:18.340 So then I became an independent.
00:30:20.500 You know, I think what happened, though, Glenn, for a lot of Americans was somewhere between
00:30:24.700 Reagan and Trump, the Democrat and the Republican Party morphed into what they call the uniparty.
00:30:32.380 And it really wasn't about we the people anymore.
00:30:34.820 It was about political power, holding on to control and ignoring the needs of the American
00:30:40.880 people.
00:30:41.820 You know, I think it was Ronald.
00:30:42.940 Actually, before Ronald Reagan, Goldwater was the original MAGA candidate.
00:30:47.160 And you probably know that.
00:30:49.040 But maybe your view your listeners do as well.
00:30:51.900 Then Reagan came in and showed us what MAGA means.
00:30:54.840 And then we had to wait 40 years to really see MAGA, America First, come into full effect.
00:31:02.020 And we know that that works.
00:31:03.600 And I am such a proud new.
00:31:05.900 I call it the new Republican Party because it is the America First Republican Party.
00:31:09.960 So so so help me out on this.
00:31:12.900 Um, uh, what is it about America First that you as governor think you can bring?
00:31:22.540 Well, I think you can take those America First policies where we're putting the people,
00:31:28.700 the America, the people of America first, and you can bring them to the state level.
00:31:32.400 Let's bring the people, put Arizonans first.
00:31:35.080 And I want to actually return states' rights to Arizona.
00:31:40.080 And I think that's what we need to see across this country.
00:31:43.100 The states created the federal government, not the other way around.
00:31:45.940 But somewhere along the way, the encroachment of the federal government on our states, on
00:31:51.280 our people has become not just a heavy blanket, but almost a suffocating blanket.
00:31:56.520 And we need to throw that blanket off.
00:31:59.260 And I don't mean we're going to secede from the nation like the fake ads that are out.
00:32:05.080 I'm in Texas, so that's that's a given here.
00:32:09.740 They're ready in Texas.
00:32:11.120 Yeah.
00:32:11.460 Yeah.
00:32:12.140 So, well, I said we need to fire the federal government after they raided Trump's home.
00:32:15.740 They turned it into an ad saying I want to secede from the union.
00:32:20.000 And it's kind of funny.
00:32:21.240 These fake ads are so bad.
00:32:22.700 These these attack ads are so bad.
00:32:25.080 But we need to regain that power.
00:32:27.260 These federal agencies, the overreach, they're trying to destroy our health.
00:32:32.100 Look at what the CDC and Anthony Fauci did.
00:32:34.140 Unelected bureaucrats, lifers trying to control our lives.
00:32:39.400 And we need a governor at the state level who will put the state first, revert back to
00:32:44.880 what the Constitution says.
00:32:46.420 That's why my border plan is going to be so effective, because it's right there in the
00:32:50.440 Constitution.
00:32:50.980 We're going to invoke our Article one, Section 10 rights under the United States Constitution
00:32:56.420 to protect our citizens from the invasion at the border.
00:33:00.740 Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:33:02.580 Pretend I'm I'm I'm not a constitutional geek, which, of course, I am.
00:33:09.600 Article Article one, Section 10.
00:33:13.160 What does it say?
00:33:14.040 OK, well, the guarantee clause, Article four, Section four, guarantee is the it's called
00:33:21.100 the guarantee clause.
00:33:22.220 And that is the federal government's guarantee to protect the citizens from invasion of this
00:33:26.560 country.
00:33:26.900 And they're failing to do that under Joe Biden.
00:33:29.440 I think it's become very obvious.
00:33:31.480 Even the Democrats are realizing it's obvious.
00:33:33.780 We've got people pouring across our border.
00:33:36.960 Another record month in September, people pouring across drugs, pouring across.
00:33:42.100 They're not protecting us.
00:33:43.720 There's a remedy in the United States Constitution, Article one and Section 10.
00:33:48.940 And we meet all three criteria.
00:33:50.940 There's an invasion.
00:33:51.960 Yes.
00:33:52.540 Our people are in imminent danger.
00:33:54.280 Yes.
00:33:55.060 And time is of the essence.
00:33:56.760 There's no time for delay.
00:33:58.240 Yes.
00:33:58.600 And that's what we're going to invoke in my in my policy.
00:34:02.420 I'm going to pull it up right here because I'm so proud of it.
00:34:04.380 It's called Defend Arizona.
00:34:06.860 It's our border policy.
00:34:08.180 And I hope your listeners will take a look at it on our website.
00:34:12.460 You can learn all about it.
00:34:13.800 But I had some of the best people who understand the border help me with this.
00:34:19.340 I said, we've got a crisis on the border.
00:34:21.640 How can the states protect their citizens?
00:34:25.040 Because we can't rely on this bumbling fool in the White House.
00:34:29.860 I'm sorry to be rude, but we can't rely on him.
00:34:32.500 He's the reason that the cartels are in control.
00:34:35.080 So I brought in great people to help me with an ironclad border policy where we go to the
00:34:41.420 U.S. Constitution and we have the full right to protect our citizens.
00:34:46.340 And we know we're going to get fought tooth and nail on this.
00:34:49.180 Yeah.
00:34:49.320 We absolutely know that.
00:34:50.340 But we're going to fight back.
00:34:52.320 And if this goes to the Supreme Court, I will be thrilled because we're going to win that
00:34:55.760 battle because right there in the Constitution, it says that the states have the right to
00:34:59.960 do this.
00:35:00.620 Do you have a good attorney general or one that you hope will win?
00:35:05.580 I do.
00:35:06.460 Abe Hamaday is who we hope will win.
00:35:09.300 And we believe we're going to have a red wave in Arizona.
00:35:11.600 If you're listening from Arizona, you've got to vote Republican up and down that ballot.
00:35:15.820 Just go in there and vote Republican up and down the ballot.
00:35:19.400 We've got to get Abe Hamaday.
00:35:21.180 If we get the Democrat, who's way behind in the polls, I don't I don't really even worry
00:35:25.500 that she would be elected.
00:35:27.300 They would try.
00:35:28.320 They would try to sue us and stop us.
00:35:29.760 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:35:30.620 But but we have we're going to have good attorneys.
00:35:33.480 We will lawyer up, as they say, because they will lawyer up against us.
00:35:37.080 Now, there's a little part of me that wonders if there might be a tiny few brain cells still
00:35:44.620 working in Joe Biden where he would realize how stupid it would be to sue the state of
00:35:50.080 Arizona and sue the governor of Arizona who's trying to protect the citizens of Arizona.
00:35:56.560 How bad that would look.
00:35:57.960 It would look like with the truth that he's on the side of the cartels.
00:36:02.300 So there's a part of me that wonders maybe they won't do anything.
00:36:05.260 But then the more realistic part of me says we are going to have to lawyer up and fight
00:36:09.660 and fight, fight.
00:36:11.140 There is a there is a desire to control the way everyone lives from Washington.
00:36:21.200 And they don't like state control.
00:36:26.040 And and that's what we've always been.
00:36:28.820 And I think people are starting to wake up to why that's been so important in the past,
00:36:33.840 because now all of a sudden we need state control or we're being taken to hell in a handbasket.
00:36:41.340 That's right.
00:36:42.300 And Joe Biden's going to try to destroy he is trying to destroy the country.
00:36:45.620 And and we've gotten so far from the Constitution again.
00:36:50.460 You know, I talked about reading the Bible in the in my 50s and reading the Constitution again.
00:36:56.800 We learned about it in junior high and high school.
00:36:59.480 I don't even know if they're still teaching that in some schools.
00:37:01.660 They probably aren't.
00:37:02.540 No, when you start looking at the Constitution, you realize you've gotten so far away from it.
00:37:06.940 And and federal regulations from agencies have at least they thought superseded the Constitution.
00:37:15.220 But we're going to remind them that they don't supersede the Constitution.
00:37:18.620 A ruling from the EPA does not supersede the United States Constitution.
00:37:24.280 And a ruling from the ATF does not supersede the United States Constitution.
00:37:29.900 We've got to get back to our founding document or we're going to lose our whole country.
00:37:34.660 But this and we're going to do that here.
00:37:36.340 This is going to require I mean, again, I'm in Texas.
00:37:40.280 And, you know, so it's a kind of a given here that you're like, you're going to come and take our guns.
00:37:45.100 I don't think you're going to take our guns.
00:37:47.360 You know, I talked to a sheriff here who I said, if they come to try to confiscate guns, he just put his hand up and he said, Glenn, let me tell you,
00:37:57.460 I will deputize every single citizen of my county and a deputy must carry a gun.
00:38:04.720 I mean, yeah, I mean, they're serious here.
00:38:09.660 But this is this is a real this is a real fight on your hands.
00:38:14.980 They don't give up power easily.
00:38:16.740 But but Glenn, if we don't fight right now, isn't this the moment?
00:38:22.680 Isn't this the time?
00:38:23.920 Yes.
00:38:24.100 We're watching our country fall apart.
00:38:25.920 I walked away from my paycheck, a massive paycheck, because I looked at that and said, what good is that?
00:38:33.060 That's worthless in the grand scheme of things.
00:38:35.800 If we don't have freedom for our children, if we don't have our Constitution intact, if we don't have our liberties intact,
00:38:40.860 if you're sitting home on the couch just watching the world go to hell in a handbasket going, oh, someone else is going to step in and save the day.
00:38:49.600 Get off the couch.
00:38:50.980 You're going to have to help save the day.
00:38:52.560 We've got a republic if we can keep it.
00:38:54.720 And we're in the if we can keep it part.
00:38:56.620 Right.
00:38:57.020 And that's what we're going to do.
00:38:58.200 That's why I'm stepping into this.
00:38:59.500 And I'm fearless right now because it's, you know, they'll give me liberty or give me death.
00:39:04.700 This is a hill worth dying on.
00:39:06.880 This is the moment that we have to step in and save our country.
00:39:11.120 We don't have a lot of time on the clock.
00:39:13.400 I would agree.
00:39:16.200 Let me take you to your opponent, Katie Hobbs.
00:39:21.080 Oh, must we?
00:39:22.700 Well, just what is different?
00:39:25.580 What's the difference between the two of you?
00:39:28.540 Oh, my gosh.
00:39:29.340 Night and day.
00:39:30.360 I did just recently find out we're about the same age.
00:39:33.200 That might be the only thing we have in common.
00:39:36.380 She has been a bureaucrat and, you know, for quite some time.
00:39:40.560 She was a state lawmaker and her record was just abysmal.
00:39:44.300 You know, if you if you want me to start when she was a senator in the Arizona Senate, she voted against the border wall, against the virtual border wall.
00:39:52.760 She voted against border strike force.
00:39:56.960 Pardon me.
00:39:57.420 My tongue isn't working this morning.
00:39:58.840 She voted against that twice, which would protect us at the border.
00:40:02.580 She voted against allowing the state to try to get money recouped from the federal government because of our open border.
00:40:10.320 And then she had the call to do an ad in front of that border wall that she was opposed to, you know, saying that she's going to protect the border, which she's not.
00:40:19.060 She believes in open borders.
00:40:20.360 Her plan is for Joe Biden to to handle the border.
00:40:22.920 He's the one who got us.
00:40:23.660 He's the one who got us into the mess.
00:40:25.180 She voted.
00:40:26.280 She co-sponsored legislation to introduce sex education in kindergarten.
00:40:32.660 She voted against a piece of legislation that would offer a an infant who survives an abortion life saving treatment, opting to have that baby die on a cold metal tray.
00:40:42.900 And she looks at California and she looks at California and the policies, the dead end destructive policies that have destroyed California and many other states around this country.
00:40:53.640 She sees those policies as excellent policies that she wants to put into play here in Arizona.
00:40:59.760 We're not going to lose our our Western heritage here.
00:41:03.140 We're not going to lose what makes Arizona unique and turn into California.
00:41:06.360 And that's what we would get under Katie Hobbs.
00:41:09.340 She voted against parents having the right to choose the school their kids go to and and have the ESA funding, which other people call it vouchers.
00:41:18.720 It's ESA here in Arizona.
00:41:20.480 We now have that for all students.
00:41:22.620 They can decide what school they go to.
00:41:24.540 The money follows.
00:41:26.220 These are parents rights issues, and she's opposed to that.
00:41:29.360 So and this newest.
00:41:31.340 Oh, I could go on all day.
00:41:33.200 You know, as you're as I'm listening to all these things, I think this all the time.
00:41:38.000 I can't believe it's this close in America.
00:41:41.620 All of these things that are being shopped by the left and the Democrats all over abortion on demand, even birthday abortion.
00:41:52.300 You know, the the transgender parties in the in the.
00:41:56.680 I haven't even gotten to that.
00:41:58.180 She's for that.
00:41:59.500 She's for those surgeries on our precious, perfect children.
00:42:04.100 So do you think so do you think it's just that nobody because you have taken Arizona by storm?
00:42:14.140 You're now about three points, four points ahead of Katie Hobbs from the polls that I've seen.
00:42:22.080 I think there's going to be a red wave.
00:42:24.320 I think you're going to be the next governor.
00:42:25.660 Is it is it really this close?
00:42:29.520 What do you hear from the people in Arizona?
00:42:31.960 I mean, no, I don't think it is.
00:42:33.620 I don't either.
00:42:34.160 OK, here's here's what's going on.
00:42:36.900 You get a lot of pollsters.
00:42:38.040 They don't know what the heck they're doing.
00:42:39.420 They give the Democrats too much weight when they're waiting these polls.
00:42:42.440 I'm telling you, we have a movement, Glenn.
00:42:46.240 It's it's not about me.
00:42:48.620 It is a movement.
00:42:49.560 And I think God has a lot to do with it, because the whole fact that I'm in this, that I survived a brutal primary with the most money ever poured into a primary against me.
00:42:59.220 I can only give God credit.
00:43:00.800 I truly can.
00:43:01.960 And so this is a movement.
00:43:03.780 We draw crowds.
00:43:05.060 We had a rally on Saturday night and we had 4000 people there.
00:43:10.320 I thought it was 3500.
00:43:11.520 My staff corrected me yesterday and said, no, we had 4000 people at that rally.
00:43:15.920 My opponent, Hobbs, had her biggest event of the year.
00:43:19.480 There were 22 people there.
00:43:21.800 OK, so you can't tell me these polls are closed.
00:43:24.460 I was at a restaurant yesterday.
00:43:25.800 We stopped to grab lunch on our camp, the campaign trail.
00:43:28.780 People came out from the kitchen.
00:43:30.340 They said, we're voting for you.
00:43:31.540 The waitress, we're voting for you.
00:43:34.020 The manager, we're voting for you.
00:43:35.840 Many of the patrons came over and said, we just made a donation and we just voted for you.
00:43:40.920 A gay couple came over and said, both me and my boyfriend voted for you.
00:43:46.580 All people, all walks of life, Hispanics, African-Americans, Asian-Americans, everyone is excited about this movement because you know what I'm representing for the people?
00:43:59.140 The people taking back their government.
00:44:01.520 I am leading a movement of we, the people taking back our government.
00:44:06.680 I'm not going to I'm not running to be the leader of Arizona.
00:44:10.320 I'm running to allow the people to be my boss, to represent the people of Arizona.
00:44:16.580 And that's going to be the difference when the elected officials realize they're not the boss.
00:44:21.480 They work for the people.
00:44:23.140 That's what Ron DeSantis told me.
00:44:25.080 He said, I said, so what is your what is your goal?
00:44:28.500 And he said to take away so much power from this government and from my position that the next governor just won't have anything to do.
00:44:39.620 Really, it's just I'm shutting it all off.
00:44:43.960 And that's no, we're going to have a lot.
00:44:45.880 I love that.
00:44:46.600 But we unfortunately are going to have a lot to do because we have such a mess right now.
00:44:51.480 It is going to take a governor to get involved.
00:44:53.600 Yeah, well, no, no, no.
00:44:54.720 But he's saying for the next governor, because it's been just like you, it's all screwed up.
00:45:00.120 You have to go in and set things right.
00:45:03.880 Let me ask you kind of where we started.
00:45:06.040 That's why he is such a great governor.
00:45:07.600 It is.
00:45:08.180 That's why he is an example for others.
00:45:12.380 And that's why I liked Christy Noem during COVID.
00:45:15.120 I thought her her soft touch and and she had a light she had a light touch when it came to how they handle COVID.
00:45:22.140 You let the people know what's going on.
00:45:24.280 You lay it out for them.
00:45:26.000 And, you know, let me tell you, people of the Midwest, they don't they can spot a BS artist from a mile away and they could spot a BS artist in Fauci.
00:45:35.840 And I'm from the Midwest.
00:45:37.000 I could tell that guy was full of it.
00:45:38.820 And we're letting him dictate the destruction of our lives, the destruction of our economy, the destruction of our businesses, the destruction of our what happened to our children.
00:45:49.280 Glenn is so unacceptable and unforgivable.
00:45:51.820 We've done so much damage to our kids.
00:45:55.000 Even the kids in Arizona are excited about this governor's race.
00:45:58.240 A little girl, her family sent me a picture.
00:46:01.200 She dressed up for me at the Halloween party they had at school.
00:46:05.100 And it was so cute.
00:46:06.480 And I'm telling you this not not to be boastful, but the kids are excited.
00:46:10.480 She had a little chicken in her hand with the name Katie Hobbs on it, which is hilarious.
00:46:16.560 I'm telling you this because I think what the kids are feeling right now is some hope.
00:46:21.640 You know, if we've been stressed, imagine how stressed.
00:46:23.820 I know every adult has been stressed with what's happening in the last few years.
00:46:27.720 We're watching our freedoms and we go to bed.
00:46:30.480 We wake up in the middle of the night stressed out.
00:46:32.900 Imagine what our kids are feeling.
00:46:34.360 Oh, I know.
00:46:34.720 Especially when you go to school and the school says the earth is going to die in the next hundred years unless we do stuff.
00:46:43.120 There's no hope.
00:46:44.560 You can't do it because all these people are in your way.
00:46:48.020 You're white or you're black or my gosh, how do our kids.
00:46:52.560 And you better and wear a mask all day and you can't breathe or you're going to kill grandma.
00:46:57.320 Right.
00:46:57.660 Because the kids are killing grandma.
00:46:59.460 I mean, and then and by the way, if you want to be a boy and you're a girl or vice versa, that's OK.
00:47:05.900 It is psychological abuse.
00:47:08.600 It is.
00:47:09.240 And I am so pissed off about it, Glenn.
00:47:13.140 As a mother, when I see what's happened to our kids and Katie Hobbs wanting to push sex ed in kindergarten.
00:47:21.600 I'm telling you, I don't have a kindergartner.
00:47:23.520 My babies are 18 and 19.
00:47:25.160 But if any adult wants to talk to my five year old about sex, it'll be all I can do to prevent myself from punching him in the face.
00:47:34.080 And I'm not a violent person, but I'm I'm really angry with what we did to our kids.
00:47:40.640 It's I know I'm you know, we've we've talked in the past and I'm trying my hardest to be a better Christian that will love my enemy.
00:47:52.740 Correct them and not accept the evil that is being pushed, but still to love my enemy.
00:48:02.800 And because it's easy to get angry and full of rage right now and nothing good comes.
00:48:09.660 It is easy.
00:48:10.220 But but no, I'm not full of rage.
00:48:13.120 I am a pissed off mama bear.
00:48:15.400 Oh, yeah, that's good.
00:48:16.180 And and some things are forgivable and some things are not forgivable.
00:48:20.460 Yeah. And I'm not saying I want to make this really clear.
00:48:24.500 I'm not saying that we go, oh, well, you know, we have differences.
00:48:28.040 No, no.
00:48:28.860 Our differences are insurmountable.
00:48:31.400 I cannot live with someone who says pedophilia is OK.
00:48:36.100 And I'm just, you know, I'm not grooming.
00:48:38.860 I'm just teaching your kids about sex.
00:48:41.560 Yeah. No, no.
00:48:43.800 Let's get them out.
00:48:44.880 Yeah. Yeah.
00:48:45.580 Get them out.
00:48:46.520 Yeah.
00:48:46.760 Yeah. I'll tell you, people say, how do we bring good teachers in?
00:48:50.480 Why are we losing good teachers?
00:48:51.980 And my dad was a public school teacher.
00:48:54.360 God rest his soul.
00:48:55.360 He would be shocked at what's happening in schools right now.
00:48:58.040 He taught history and government and he was a football coach.
00:49:02.760 He did not get into teaching for the money.
00:49:05.500 OK, we had nine kids in the house.
00:49:07.280 We didn't have enough food in the house because with nine kids and a teacher salary, it wasn't a lot of money.
00:49:11.920 And teachers don't get into it to get rich.
00:49:14.520 They get into it to teach.
00:49:15.880 But when you start telling a teacher, you have to teach racism.
00:49:19.340 You have to teach transgenderism.
00:49:21.680 You have to teach sex ed to kindergartners.
00:49:25.200 The good teachers simply walk away and say, I won't do it.
00:49:28.480 It's immoral.
00:49:29.520 Just like the good journalists start to walk away and say it's immoral.
00:49:33.600 So we got to start bringing some morals back into this world.
00:49:36.840 And that's why I say we got to return to God and bring God back into this world.
00:49:41.800 And, you know, I'm not trying to push a certain religion.
00:49:45.540 Yeah.
00:49:45.800 But we certainly have to bring God back into this country, into our culture, into our hearts, into our homes.
00:49:52.500 That's the start.
00:49:53.680 Last last question.
00:49:55.360 And I've asked this for everybody I've seen that gets into politics.
00:50:01.020 And I think I know your answer, but I have you thought of the darkness that you're facing and how is your soul?
00:50:11.040 How are you preparing for the onslaught?
00:50:14.940 We're battling evil.
00:50:16.300 It's not about politics.
00:50:17.680 Oh, I've been in it.
00:50:19.060 I've always been.
00:50:20.200 I have one of my favorite things to do is swim.
00:50:22.460 I love swimming.
00:50:23.080 And I have found myself the last year and four months, 500 and roughly 10 days, swimming through swamp water.
00:50:31.360 It is so dirty.
00:50:32.800 The evil, the nastiness, the lies.
00:50:35.540 I mean, I walked away from a career and I had a lot of goodwill.
00:50:38.480 And I had tens of millions spent in just lying ads.
00:50:42.280 People coming out of the woodwork who are just nasty people who think nothing about telling lies about you.
00:50:47.640 But I just, I got God on my side.
00:50:51.200 I really do.
00:50:51.960 And I don't spend a lot of time worrying about the haters out there.
00:50:57.440 I'm focused on winning this for Arizona and doing great things for Arizona.
00:51:02.160 We pray a lot.
00:51:03.640 Somebody said, you pray every night before you go to bed.
00:51:05.840 I said, yeah, but I also pray every morning when I wake up, during the day, when I'm driving, when I'm arriving at an event, before I speak.
00:51:15.540 Prayer is something that should be done all day.
00:51:17.360 I have a constant conversation with God and we have a lot of people that tell us they're praying for us.
00:51:22.680 That is the most powerful, potent, potent fix to evil that is surrounding us.
00:51:30.180 We've had our tires slashed.
00:51:31.760 We've had screws drilled into our tires.
00:51:35.460 I get hate mail.
00:51:36.540 I get threats.
00:51:37.640 All of that stuff.
00:51:39.200 And I just let it roll off my back like water on a duck's back.
00:51:44.460 Let me leave you with my prediction.
00:51:46.400 You're going to win.
00:51:47.520 Okay.
00:51:47.980 You're going to win.
00:51:49.320 If you keep your head about you, you're going to be a game-changing governor.
00:51:57.120 You will be asked to be the vice presidential nominee at some point.
00:52:03.660 But I think you will end up being our first female president.
00:52:06.800 If you are who you say you are and hold to the line, that's, I believe, what you have ahead of you.
00:52:15.780 You're remarkable.
00:52:18.080 Wow.
00:52:18.800 Glenn, I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing because that means I'm going to be in the swamp longer.
00:52:23.500 But it's not something I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.
00:52:29.060 I'm sorry.
00:52:29.840 But that, I think, is what's going to happen.
00:52:31.660 My plan was to get in, get the job done, get out of politics, and hopefully pick up my golf game that I tried to start up during COVID and maybe have grandbabies.
00:52:45.120 So we'll see where it goes.
00:52:46.080 Because I'm so, truly, because I'm getting asked this question a lot, so funny because 200 days ago the press was acting like, what on earth do you know?
00:52:55.180 How dare you run for office?
00:52:56.940 Now they're like, are you going to be a VP pick?
00:52:59.560 Are you going to run for the White House?
00:53:01.560 I'm like, slow down.
00:53:03.180 I am focused on Arizona.
00:53:05.100 I'm not even thinking of 24.
00:53:06.620 I worry that if we don't elect the right people, we could lose our country by 24.
00:53:11.720 I agree with you.
00:53:12.360 I am truly laser beam focused on Arizona.
00:53:15.420 I love this state so much.
00:53:17.320 Good.
00:53:17.660 Just do the next right thing.
00:53:19.900 Thank you.
00:53:20.180 Only God knows where this goes.
00:53:21.600 Only God knows.
00:53:23.040 Thank you so much, Carrie.
00:53:24.140 Best of luck.
00:53:24.720 Thank you, Glenn.
00:53:25.560 You bet.
00:53:25.940 Appreciate it.
00:53:31.800 Just a reminder, I'd love you to rate and subscribe to the podcast and pass this on to a friend so it can be discovered by other people.
00:53:45.420 I'll see you next time.
