00:00:00.260 Hello, everybody, and welcome to The Great America Show. I'm Lou Dobbs and delighted to have you with us.
00:00:06.440 As we head into flu season and what has been an unending season of COVID, there's considerable confusion still about it all, and I'm going to stick to politics and economics.
00:00:16.860 I'm in no way qualified to tell anybody what to do when it comes to medicine of any kind.
00:00:22.280 So here's what my wife and I've done. We took the flu shot a couple of weeks ago and still haven't made up our minds about the COVID vaccine.
00:00:31.380 And even some doctors, I understand, are on the sidelines, at least to this point.
00:00:36.260 Deb and I aren't fence-sitters about much of anything, so we'll pretty much do what our family doctor ultimately tells us to do.
00:00:43.360 We're a little older, and we've gotten here with God's blessings and listening to our doctors, so there you have it.
00:00:49.180 For younger folks, I do know this is a much tougher choice for you all, and our government isn't being real helpful about a lot of areas, and vaccines are one of those.
00:00:59.300 And as always, Joe Biden is spreading confusion and consternation of his own special brand, declaring the COVID pandemic is over.
00:01:08.920 Ended, funny. But wait, didn't he already do that? Well, yes, he did.
00:01:13.900 So what's the deal? He still gets to keep all those magic superpowers that he has because of the COVID national emergency,
00:01:21.760 so I don't think he'll relinquish those powers until maybe after the midterm elections.
00:01:26.860 What do you think? Or maybe never.
00:01:29.440 The Marxist Dems are driving hard to win these midterms in the final weeks.
00:01:34.320 But by most marks, the Republicans are putting together that wave election we've all been talking about for months.
00:01:40.420 And one of the three most important states is Arizona.
00:01:44.860 Republicans running strong and running for the all-important post of Attorney General is Abe Hamaday,
00:01:51.780 our guest today on The Great America Show.
00:01:54.800 Abe is an America First candidate.
00:01:56.780 He's endorsed by President Trump, a veteran, a former prosecutor,
00:02:00.820 and fighting to defend our borders, secure electoral integrity, and uphold and defend the Constitution.
00:02:06.800 Abe, it is great to have you back with us on The Great America Show.
00:02:11.160 I've got to ask you this first.
00:02:12.600 I was once a police and fire reporter about the Phoenix Police Department seizure of a million of the deadliest pills known to man.
00:02:21.300 All fentanyl, the border wide open, and its open season on Americans are being poisoned by the hundreds of thousands.
00:02:28.880 This is getting far worse, not better, right?
00:02:31.980 No, absolutely.
00:02:34.740 And, you know, fentanyl is affecting our communities, not just in the cities, but it's going to the suburbs and rural areas.
00:02:40.900 And, you know, Lou, I think how we tackle the fentanyl issue, almost all of the fentanyl is coming from one area, which is our border.
00:02:50.440 And I was just down in Yuma the other week, actually.
00:02:53.880 And what you're seeing is our border is just absolutely not secure.
00:02:57.580 So the fentanyl, what's really interesting is, you know, we're talking about a lot of these illegal immigrants who are coming across, and they're being processed by Border Patrol, and they're being put on buses.
00:03:06.580 And most of those illegal immigrants, to be honest, they're just, you know, they're coming from Russia, China, India.
00:03:11.520 I mean, I witnessed every sort of ethnicity.
00:03:13.440 But what we're not talking about is that since so much of our resources is focused on processing those illegal immigrants, the drug cartels are now, what they're doing is they use them as a distraction to put the fentanyl, walk them across the desert, because so much of our resources is focused on these illegal immigrants who are just waiting to be picked up by Border Patrol.
00:03:34.920 So that's where most of this fentanyl is coming from.
00:03:37.940 And obviously, it's manufactured in China.
00:03:39.780 But, I mean, you're absolutely right.
00:03:41.200 I mean, fentanyl is plaguing our schools.
00:03:43.840 I mean, if you're looking at the candy-colored fentanyl that is now coming in time for Halloween, they're really – it's quite shocking how quickly this has become a plague in our communities.
00:03:54.880 As a prosecutor, you know, a few years ago, it was methamphetamine.
00:03:58.340 That was a big topic.
00:03:59.380 Now it's shifted to fentanyl.
00:04:00.720 Almost all of these cases, you can tie to have some fentanyl lacing in them.
00:04:05.080 So it is exceptionally worrisome, but a million fentanyl pills – I mean, this is a weapon of mass destruction.
00:04:10.180 It is a poisoning, and it's time we take serious action to secure our southern border so we can protect our communities.
00:04:16.720 But we've known for at least two years now – I think three, really – that this was the number one killer for young people, 18 to 45.
00:04:27.960 And that crosses a lot of socioeconomic divides.
00:04:32.180 Why is it that this – in the local area, the state area, this is not a priority?
00:04:39.380 I mean, we're talking about as many as some experts say is 200,000 fentanyl deaths a year.
00:04:45.660 107,000 were reported last year in opiate deaths.
00:04:50.300 But these numbers are staggering.
00:04:52.240 Yeah, and it's – you're talking about just the deaths, but if you look at the addiction, the numbers are just much higher.
00:04:58.860 And, you know, we're looking at the rise in homelessness, the mental illness that's coming in.
00:05:02.880 A lot of it can be tied to this fentanyl drugs.
00:05:06.040 And, you know, Lou, something in Arizona, what we have is we classify fentanyl as a narcotic drug instead of a dangerous drug.
00:05:13.460 So, you know, actually, it's a lot less of a – it's more lenient sentencing as a narcotic drug versus a dangerous drug.
00:05:20.060 That's something that I want to tackle on when I'm attorney general.
00:05:23.080 But, you know, this is – we've known about it for a while, and it's – you know, it's come – it came upon us really quickly, it seems like.
00:05:30.060 And now that they're targeting children, you know, it's really frightening.
00:05:33.440 And this is where so many people are worried that their children are going to be affected in their schools.
00:05:39.160 I mean, fentanyl is going to schools.
00:05:40.540 I don't know if you heard about the toddler death.
00:05:42.640 I think that there was a toddler death in another state where they simply touched some fentanyl that was in the back seat of the nanny, and the child died.
00:05:51.720 I mean, this is what's really scary.
00:05:53.760 And if you're looking at – the drug cartels are making a lot of money off of this.
00:05:57.420 The pills used to cost $20, a fentanyl pill, and now it's gone down to $2 a pill.
00:06:04.040 And the reason why is because, I mean, they just have manufactured fentanyl pills like never before, and they're trying to get everybody addicted to it.
00:06:11.720 So this is where we have to start looking at fighting back this fentanyl crisis, but it really starts with securing our southern border.
00:06:19.120 And that's why it's such a top issue for myself and future Governor Kerry Lake.
00:06:23.340 Well, a present governor, Greg Abbott, has declared the Mexican drug cartels as terrorist organizations.
00:06:33.700 He's ordered the Texas Department of Public Safety to engage now.
00:06:37.940 And I don't understand why Arizona hasn't done the same thing.
00:06:41.880 I don't understand why there's not a national discussion about this.
00:06:45.280 And I sure don't understand why the Department of Homeland Security, Customs, Border Protection, and all of the other agencies within these departments of this Marxist, dim-driven administration and Democrat Party aren't reacting better.
00:07:02.300 And why the Republicans aren't, you know, nailing their hides to the wall on it.
00:07:07.560 And you're absolutely right.
00:07:08.760 And it's an issue that unites every single American.
00:07:11.860 So I applaud Governor Abbott for declaring them terrorist organizations.
00:07:15.780 That's been a central theme of my campaign for a while.
00:07:18.840 When I'm attorney general, I'm going to work with the legislature to declare the drug cartels as terrorist organizations.
00:07:24.320 And with that designation, Lou, we will have enhanced sentencings on them. 0.90
00:07:27.820 We will be able to seize their assets.
00:07:29.660 So, you know, there's actually some teeth to it.
00:07:32.100 And Arizona has that ability to do that because under current law, we use the U.S. Department of State's definition of terrorist organizations.
00:07:38.860 And as you and I both know that it's been politicized.
00:07:43.180 So this is where Arizona, we have to get a lot tougher with the drug cartels because they're sophisticated operations.
00:07:48.840 The drug cartels, they're the ones profiting off of not just putting the fentanyl into our country, but they are making a lot of money by smuggling illegal immigrants and making sure that they have passage to come to the United States.
00:08:00.680 I mean, they're taking $10,000, $20,000, $30,000, depending on the country of origin.
00:08:04.820 So it's a very sophisticated machine that they've got going.
00:08:08.740 And they have, I mean, they have a balance sheet that's probably bigger than most states and most countries.
00:08:13.380 So this is where, you know, we have to start working with our law enforcement officers.
00:08:18.640 You know, the federal government is not here to help.
00:08:20.660 But what I'm looking forward to doing is working with Governor Greg Abbott, Ron DeSantis in Florida as well, and, you know, some of these other border states or other Republicans, states who actually care about what's going down our southern border.
00:08:32.220 Because we ultimately know that what happens in Arizona and Texas doesn't just stay in Arizona and Texas.
00:08:37.940 It goes all across and affects every single other state.
00:08:41.040 Every state is a border state right now.
00:08:42.680 So I applaud Governor Abbott's declaration of the cartels as terrorist organizations.
00:08:47.700 That's something I will work on, and I will get done when I'm attorney general.
00:08:51.920 And why aren't all four states doing that?
00:08:55.440 I mean, this is not a partisan issue.
00:08:57.160 This is a life and death national security issue.
00:09:00.800 And only, only Greg Abbott has acted.
00:09:04.680 Not New Mexico, not, you know, Arizona, not California.
00:09:09.080 It just, it makes no sense to those of us who know what the politics of this thing are.
00:09:15.860 Is there a, let me put it this way.
00:09:18.160 Is there a hesitation because of the election and you don't know exactly, and I'm not talking about you, but the Republicans don't quite know how the electorate will triangulate these very difficult, hardcore issues?
00:09:32.160 I think it actually, from all the polling we suggest, classifying the cartels as terrorist organizations is such a winning issue, Lou.
00:09:40.440 Nobody has any real sympathy with the cartels.
00:09:44.700 I think what certain people, you know, in the Republican Party and the Democrats, they don't want to anger Mexico, for instance.
00:09:52.160 They don't want to anger some business interests down there.
00:09:54.380 And I think that's the hesitation, possibly.
00:09:56.960 But, I mean, if you look at California and New Mexico, I mean, they are so, they don't even want to acknowledge that there's a border.
00:10:02.340 It's beyond a border crisis.
00:10:03.560 It's a border disaster, Lou. 0.66
00:10:05.300 So I think that's the hesitation is they don't want to anger, you know, one of the number one trading partners within some of these states, which is Mexico.
00:10:11.780 But, you know, ultimately, when you have deaths that are occurring all across our state, it's my job as Attorney General to uphold the rule of law, to uphold the Constitution, but to ensure the safety of Arizonans.
00:10:22.840 And that's why, you know, I won my primary.
00:10:25.800 I seem to have stunned so many people, Lou, and I remember talking to you, you know, before I won it.
00:10:29.780 But, you know, that's what's unique about me.
00:10:31.540 I'm not beholden to any special interest or, you know, anybody.
00:10:34.720 I'm just beholden to the Constitution of the United States and Arizona and the people of Arizona.
00:10:38.600 So, you know, I can't say why they haven't done it, but I know that when I'm in office, I will be a lot more aggressive in tackling this issue.
00:10:46.100 Well, good for you, and it can't happen.
00:10:49.300 And I know you'll agree with this statement.
00:10:51.600 It can't happen soon enough, you're taking office, because that's precisely what's required.
00:10:57.300 And, by the way, if we have people in this country who continue to put business interests ahead of the national interest, business interests ahead of our middle class and the health and welfare and well-being of American citizens, we're doomed.
00:11:14.840 This has to be the end of all of this nonsense on the part of the Democrats.
00:11:20.940 And I don't understand, even I'm not asking you to speak for the entire Republican Party, but what I don't understand is why the Republicans are not hammering Joe Biden for his alignment with both the Chinese and the government of Mexico and the drug cartels, because he has turned that border.
00:11:44.340 I think you, I'd like to know whether you agree, he has turned the U.S. border with Mexico over to the Mexican drug cartels, has he not?
00:11:53.460 Absolutely.
00:11:54.180 And, Lou, when I was down there last week in Yuma, I mean, there's literally government documents that are printed by Mexico that tells illegal immigrants how to get into the United States.
00:12:06.620 I mean, it's in Spanish.
00:12:09.180 They actually give them residency, permanent residency cards of Mexico for some of these Guatemalans and Cubans.
00:12:15.440 So, and they all leave them before they enter the United States, because then, of course, they can't claim asylum.
00:12:21.020 But the government of Mexico, they need to get a handle on this.
00:12:24.900 And that's something that President Trump did so effectively.
00:12:27.200 He was able to negotiate with Mexico and put them on notice.
00:12:29.880 But, I mean, you're right.
00:12:31.220 Right now, you know, President Biden and Kamala Harris, they don't think, she literally said that the border was secure.
00:12:37.840 And the next day, I was down in Yuma, and I literally witnessed, you know, dozens of people, 50-plus people, just waiting to get on a bus.
00:12:45.500 I mean, they're not even evading law enforcement, Lou.
00:12:47.960 This is how open it is.
00:12:49.740 I mean, these people, they're just evading all of our immigration laws and just walking across. 1.00
00:12:54.520 They walk around the border fence.
00:12:56.740 You know, the border fence, that Trump wall is beautiful, but it's only effective if it has enforcement.
00:13:02.840 So, under President Trump, with the Remain in Mexico policy, you know, we would actually make them stay in Mexico.
00:13:08.640 We'd return them.
00:13:09.960 But right now, what we're witnessing is only about 10% of those who are coming into our country are actually being returned.
00:13:16.700 So, you're having, if you have 240,000 border crossers, I mean, you're keeping a vast majority of them, over 200,000, who are remaining in the country, being put on buses, being put on planes, and being put on trains, and spread throughout the United States.
00:13:30.300 And then the media hysteria when you saw that a few dozen of them went to Martha's Vineyard.
00:13:35.520 It's already happening, Lou.
00:13:36.820 They just don't want it to happen in their backyard because for them, for the elites and the media, it's out of sight, out of mind.
00:13:43.320 But, you know, Americans are going to – I think this election is going to shock the hell out of the media because I don't think they understand that how fed up the American people are to being gaslit right now about that we have a secure border, which we do not.
00:13:56.100 And this contributes to the fentanyl crisis and so many of the other issues.
00:14:00.440 I mean, look at the terrorist watch list.
00:14:02.040 How many border crossers have been on the terrorist watch list?
00:14:04.720 The entire world recognizes that there's a national security vulnerability, and they're going to take advantage of it, Lou.
00:14:10.780 Yeah, and are doing so.
00:14:12.360 I want to ask you a question of proximity because you were there in the great state of Arizona, the Arizona Republic, the, what would we say, four major television markets.
00:14:26.100 How – are they pro-illegal immigration or pro-amnesty, or are they pro-border security for the state of Arizona?
00:14:34.280 The Arizona Republic is a garbage newspaper out here, and all they do is spend attacks on me and Carrie Lake and Mark Fincham, Blake Masters.
00:14:46.040 All they're doing is trying – they're basically the propaganda arm of the Democratic Party. 0.95
00:14:50.340 And they – actually, at one point, they refused to publish any statements by me or Carrie if we talked about the border being an invasion.
00:14:58.060 I mean, they are so far removed from reality, Lou, that they – you know, this is where journalists have such an important role to play.
00:15:05.200 I mean, they really determine so much of how the public thinks because they put out there what they want the people to know.
00:15:12.180 And this is where I've said they are the propaganda arm of the left, and it's clear as day.
00:15:17.120 It's – you know, they refuse to cover the stories accurately.
00:15:20.460 They want to ignore the crisis.
00:15:22.500 But, you know, the newspapers and the TV stations out in Yuma, they do a pretty good job, actually, and it's because they have to live with it.
00:15:29.240 The ones up in the Arizona Republic, they're in Phoenix.
00:15:31.840 For them, it's far removed.
00:15:33.040 And, you know, they buy the entire – the D.C. elites narrative that there's no crisis.
00:15:37.120 But, I mean, I'm telling you, anybody who goes to the border and spends any time down there, when you see it, it is – I walk behind the border fence.
00:15:45.200 It is completely open.
00:15:46.760 There is nothing in the way.
00:15:48.720 It's completely open, and the federal government is doing this intentionally.
00:15:53.300 And I think that's something we have to remember, that this didn't come out of nowhere.
00:15:56.640 Under President Trump, I mean, the border crossers were limited to about 20,000 or 30,000 a month, and now it's ballooned to 10 times that number.
00:16:04.520 This is unsustainable.
00:16:05.800 But, I mean, this is – and look at how many of the gotaways that have come across.
00:16:09.580 I mean, the rest of the world, you're right, they already are taking advantage of it, and our adversaries are as well.
00:16:15.920 So this is where – it's such a key issue on my campaign, Lou, because I saw – I don't know if you saw Governor Doug Ducey.
00:16:21.720 He put those shipping containers down at our southern border, and, you know, that's a good step. 0.94
00:16:26.440 But I'm just wondering why hasn't that been done before, right?
00:16:28.920 We need to at least limit the border crossers in certain areas so we can shift our resources to folks in the priority areas. 1.00
00:16:35.780 But this is something that we have to tackle on at the state level because the federal government refuses to act.
00:16:40.200 And, of course, there is the hazard that they will – the cartels will convert those containers into Motel 6s.
00:16:49.880 There's got to be, as you say, enforcement.
00:16:52.360 Just simply putting up a barrier is not going to get it.
00:16:54.940 I want to turn to, if I may, here, you and Masters and Lake and Fitchum, we're all running sort of together.
00:17:08.300 Are you still – is there that solidarity amongst the top Republican candidates for state office?
00:17:15.400 Absolutely.
00:17:16.320 I mean, Governor Kerry Lake and myself, we did a press conference.
00:17:20.300 We both got the endorsement of the Arizona Police Association and some of these other top law enforcement organizations of the state.
00:17:27.320 We did a joint press conference, the media.
00:17:29.420 I don't know if you got a chance to see that, but they had a total meltdown because, you know, me and Kerry just took them to task.
00:17:34.660 They had their tails between their legs at the end of it.
00:17:37.060 But, you know, this is where I tell folks, this election is unlike others.
00:17:40.960 I think before you had candidates who were really running because they were desperate to be politicians.
00:17:45.780 I think all of us are not.
00:17:47.080 I think we're all outsiders, and we're just desperately worried about our country, Lou.
00:17:51.060 So everywhere we go, I mean, as you see even on your show right now, I'm promoting all of them.
00:17:56.160 I can't do this alone, Lou.
00:17:57.580 I need people like them with me.
00:17:59.260 I need people like you.
00:18:00.540 We need to get the message out.
00:18:01.800 So this is what's so unique about this November.
00:18:04.940 This America First movement is really – we're all together in this.
00:18:09.460 We all recognize it.
00:18:10.520 It's going to take – it got us decades to get us in this mess, and I think it's going to take us some time to get us out of it.
00:18:15.140 But we really got to start by having good people in office, and that's why I'm so excited to be working with, you know, future Governor Kerry Lake and future U.S. Senator Blake Masters because we need to have some good representation in D.C.
00:18:27.800 But, again, I think the states are the ones who have the most power, and I think that's why the media is so concerned about Kerry and myself.
00:18:35.600 I think they recognize that, you know, we're not playing by the same old rules that have been operating.
00:18:40.740 We're going to do things different.
00:18:41.920 We're going to be bold.
00:18:43.880 Well, if there's a county – and there are many counties across this country that need to be investigated for their electoral irregularities and anomalies, I'll put it that way.
00:18:54.660 It certainly is Maricopa County, and Pinal County has a lot of questions as well.
00:19:02.400 But to that end, how confident are you in a secure election, an honest election, and the capacity of the Republicans and good Arizona citizens to assure that there is no rigging here as there obviously was in 2020?
00:19:21.820 Right, and I think it's a big concern of mine because you're right.
00:19:25.880 Look at Pinal County in the primary.
00:19:28.420 I mean, it is unacceptable, Lou, that they ran out of Republican ballots, right?
00:19:33.240 And what's worse, I don't know if you saw before that, they actually were sending ballots without the correct city municipality elections on them.
00:19:41.920 So it was such a disaster, Lou, that I think for the media and the Democrats to constantly gaslight us by saying that we have the most safe and secure elections, it's a complete lie.
00:19:53.620 I mean, if you look at – I mean, this has been going on for so long.
00:19:56.380 Look at Florida versus the 2000 election with Bush v. Gore, right?
00:20:00.020 But suddenly now, you know, it's so offensive.
00:20:02.740 My opponent says I'm a threat to democracy.
00:20:05.180 You know, this is – my opponent is a professor.
00:20:08.720 She has never practiced law.
00:20:10.260 She's been a former journalist.
00:20:11.320 She's a professor.
00:20:12.280 And here I am.
00:20:12.960 I've actually served my country overseas.
00:20:15.100 I'm a former prosecutor.
00:20:16.480 So I don't want to be lectured by a professor who sits behind her desk in the teacher's lounge telling me that I'm a threat to democracy.
00:20:22.680 I've actually defended it.
00:20:23.760 So this is where, you know, we're not playing by the rules anymore, Lou.
00:20:26.960 And you're right.
00:20:27.480 I mean, this election, I think, is so critical because in order to prevent some of the fraud, I think we need to overwhelm it.
00:20:34.080 And I think we need to have as much Republicans get out the vote.
00:20:37.300 So, you know, no matter the – no matter the irregularities, at least it's overwhelmed by Republican support.
00:20:42.700 And I think right now, independents, Republicans, and even some Democrats are absolutely fed up with these Democratic policies because we've seen what they've done, Lou.
00:20:51.200 I mean, look at California.
00:20:52.760 California is the epitome of a Democratic policies.
00:20:56.140 And look at San Francisco, Los Angeles, or go to Chicago and New York.
00:21:00.620 When you end cash bail, when you say that homeless people can sleep on the streets and they can defecate on the streets and there can be needles on our streets and that we're going to force hotels to have their vacant rooms house homeless people.
00:21:12.300 I mean, it's embarrassing policies.
00:21:14.300 They have rolling energy blackouts in California right now.
00:21:17.160 This is third-world country stuff, and it's all due to a result of these Democratic socialist policies.
00:21:22.740 So, you know, it's clear as day, and I think this is why – I mean, Lou, the polling that we're looking at is we're winning – we're going to – I think we're going to have the chance to win Hispanic voters.
00:21:31.900 I think they are absolutely fed up.
00:21:33.540 And I don't know if you saw an article in the Atlantic Journal-Constitution, but they were talking about Stacey Abrams is having a hard time with black voters in Georgia. 0.89
00:21:41.000 I mean, it's interesting how the America First movement, it really is about America.
00:21:47.300 We don't care where you came from, what ethnicity you are, or what social status you have, but we're going to put the American people first, and I think everyone is recognizing that right now.
00:21:57.900 You know, people forget that Donald Trump nationwide won almost 40 percent of the Hispanic vote in 2020 and still managed somehow to have a deficit with Joe Biden.
00:22:08.740 How about that?
00:22:10.400 He also had better numbers with African Americans.
00:22:15.180 And there is sort of – to me, it's sort of a peculiar atmospheric around these issues because, you know, African Americans, black people, they want safety.
00:22:26.820 They want security.
00:22:27.920 They want jobs.
00:22:29.000 They want the opportunity to build a business, and they don't want any more of this socialist nonsense.
00:22:35.260 I'll call it what it is. 0.97
00:22:36.460 It's communist nonsense. 0.64
00:22:37.620 These Marxists have taken the Democratic Party to a place I don't think they'll ever recover from.
00:22:43.520 But at the same time, the Republican Party will, as you are absolutely advocating, will have to be vigilant and energetic on November 8th.
00:22:53.360 Do you feel that you've got enough poll workers, poll watchers, attorneys out there trained, ready to go?
00:22:58.460 I think Chairwoman Kelly Ward has been doing a fantastic job at training these poll workers and poll observers.
00:23:05.480 So, you know, I think right now we're in a very good position, and even in the primary, we were in a much better position.
00:23:11.220 2020, we were caught off guard, but we're never going to allow that to happen again, Lou.
00:23:14.760 And, you know, I'm glad you're talking about so much of these issues because, you know, this is a cultural war that we're fighting right now, Lou.
00:23:21.400 And I think people recognize how damaging, you know, you're right, these Marxists, these socialists, the Democrats have gone so far left that they've even lost people like Bill Maher.
00:23:31.080 I mean, Bill Maher has basically become red-pilled, and this is where I'm optimistic because ultimately the Republican message is about common sense, about American strength, and the rule of law.
00:23:42.600 And all the Democrats want to talk about is environmentalism, climate change, reproductive rights, and voting access.
00:23:49.060 But this is – they're so far removed from reality.
00:23:51.820 You're right about black Americans. 1.00
00:23:53.560 You know, they don't want to defund the police movement.
00:23:55.880 You know, the ones who are advocating that are usually the ones in the universities, it's usually these 50-year-old white women professors, those are the ones who are advocating for defunding the police. 1.00
00:24:04.880 Like, my opponent surrounds herself with proponents of that.
00:24:08.620 So, you know, the one – this is why Hispanics and blacks, they've actually come out for Trump and for Republicans this election cycle is because they're the ones being hurt the most by these Democratic policies.
00:24:20.820 And they're the ones who want opportunity, but in order to have opportunity and prosperity, we first need security, and that's exactly what I intend to do as Attorney General Liu.
00:24:29.800 But, you know, I need all the help we can get, and, you know, I can't do it alone.
00:24:34.580 That's why I'm excited that we're going to have a really good legislature hopefully next year, along with a great governor and a good U.S. senator, because we have to tackle all these issues together.
00:24:43.600 And, you know, we've got to secure elections, and that's why we need Mark Finchman there, especially because he's running up against literally the election official who got fired from his last job in Maricopa County.
00:24:53.980 He got voted out by the voters.
00:24:55.360 So, you know, this is a do-or-die election.
00:24:58.260 I think every one of us recognizes that right now.
00:25:00.140 And it does seem, as you advocate for these fundamental values, American values and state values, the interest of Arizona and the nation, it seems to me from, you know, admittedly from afar,
00:25:17.180 it seems to me that if there is any American with a triple-digit IQ, has a love of this country and is principled, that they will be voting Republican because no one in their right mind could put these Marxist Dems in control for another minute.
00:25:38.420 But it's absolutely outrageous.
00:25:43.520 And thank you, Abe, for running for office.
00:25:46.200 And I know you're going to win.
00:25:48.160 I wish you all the best of luck and the state of Arizona all the best of luck.
00:25:52.860 You're a great American.
00:25:54.100 Thank you, sir.
00:25:54.840 And God bless you.
00:25:56.640 Thank you so much, Larry.
00:25:57.420 Appreciate it.
00:25:59.480 Abe Hamaday, running for attorney general in the great state of Arizona.
00:26:04.240 Thanks, everybody, for being with us.
00:26:05.700 And tomorrow here, our guest will be Sheriff Mark Lamb, trying to keep the law in one of the biggest counties in America.
00:26:13.320 Please join us.
00:26:14.380 Till then, God bless you.
00:26:16.460 And may God bless America.
