00:00:00.000 Hello, everybody. I'm Lou Dobbs. Welcome to The Great America Show. Truth, justice, and the American way underway right here, right now.
00:00:09.600 Tomorrow is the big day, November 8, and we're told by nearly all of the pollsters, Republicans will win all over the country.
00:00:17.080 That is going to be huge. That forecast will only be valid, of course, if we make a point to vote.
00:00:23.520 Bring our friends, family, neighbors, whoever. Let's vote in the most important election of our lives.
00:00:30.000 Our federal government is now openly and aggressively weaponized by the Marxist Dems and the puppet president they control to target their political opponents and American citizens, that is, you and me.
00:00:43.780 They're using the federal government to crush our traditions, our values, and the republic itself.
00:00:49.320 The outcome of every race and every state is critically important to the nation.
00:00:54.900 This is that existential election that we've talked about here over this year.
00:00:59.420 The republic itself hangs in the balance, and the future of every American for generations to come.
00:01:06.960 No one better understands that imperative than our guest today.
00:01:10.960 She chose to do more than talk about the crisis the nation faces.
00:01:15.260 She decided to do something about it.
00:01:17.620 She epitomizes the best of what it means to be an engaged citizen.
00:01:21.760 She's a true patriot.
00:01:22.780 Our guest is Carrie Lake.
00:01:25.100 She gave up a 30-year career in television news to run for governor of Arizona, with one thought in mind, and that to make life better for her fellow citizens.
00:01:34.920 Carrie, it's great to have you back with us here on The Great America Show.
00:01:38.500 You've fought a hard campaign.
00:01:40.200 You've opened up a huge lead over your Democrat upon it.
00:01:43.560 You've got to be feeling great.
00:01:45.160 It feels great, and I feel that.
00:01:49.880 I feel that kind of a lead when I'm on the ground talking to the people of Arizona.
00:01:53.720 Every event we go to, it's wall-to-wall people.
00:01:56.900 I'm sure we're breaking fire codes everywhere we go because people are so interested and enthusiastic about this election.
00:02:04.180 They know what's on the line.
00:02:05.320 Of course, then you get a poll that says it's dead even or you're up by one or three, and you just wonder who they're talking to.
00:02:12.580 They must be people who aren't paying attention because I just feel something happening here, Lou, on the ground in Arizona, and it's really special.
00:02:20.180 It's not a campaign.
00:02:21.680 It is truly a movement of We the People, and you just have to be here to feel it, but something's happening in Arizona.
00:02:27.620 Well, that's great, and I'm certainly hoping for the good of the state and for you, obviously, that that is exactly what's going on.
00:02:38.260 Arizona needs a new direction, a new energy, and you're bringing both.
00:02:44.760 I would like to talk to you about some of the interlopers that have suddenly decided they needed to come to Arizona.
00:02:53.640 I think I know who you're talking about.
00:02:55.680 Well, Barack Obama, my goodness, you've got him scared to death when the big guy rolls into town.
00:03:04.740 He must be scared, though, a little bit to leave old Joe by himself there in the White House without his direction.
00:03:14.040 Well, Joe might wander away.
00:03:15.720 That actually would be a good thing.
00:03:17.660 You know, I'm happy to think that I'm living rent-free in Obama's mind.
00:03:21.820 That's great.
00:03:22.460 You know, he's criticizing me for my career in television as a fair and honest journalist, you know, criticizing the fact that I was on television.
00:03:32.420 You know, I remember people criticizing the fact that he was a community organizer.
00:03:36.120 They had a problem with that.
00:03:37.760 Look, our founding fathers didn't have any occupation requirements.
00:03:42.740 They wanted the people, the good people of this country, to step forward as citizens and jump into politics.
00:03:48.520 They didn't want career politicians like Joe and Nancy and all those folks.
00:03:53.240 They wanted real people to step forward.
00:03:55.540 That's what I'm doing.
00:03:56.900 My background as a fair and honest journalist has been perfect for this.
00:04:02.040 You know, how many people can say they had a 30-year career where their job every day was to go into work and wrap their arms around the biggest story facing the state?
00:04:10.080 It's been a perfect background for me, and I will say I believe that my communication skills have been honed, and we need good communicators in office.
00:04:19.340 It's been a while since we've had a good communicator, and I always look to the great Ronald Reagan and how he was so able to effectively communicate what he wanted to do for this country, the direction we needed to go, and to get people to think more optimistically.
00:04:33.000 Yeah, I would say in Arizona, it's been a while since you had a governor who really cared about the people, let alone communicating with them.
00:04:41.760 It's great to see your candidacy, the fact that you are attracting so many great Arizonans to your campaign, to your movement.
00:04:53.180 But you've attracted also the attention of the deep left, Liz Cheney, and I understand that she's done nothing but boost your fundraising.
00:05:05.340 That's terrific.
00:05:06.980 Give us a sense of what you think the Democratic Party thinks they're doing, trotting out Obama, Liz Cheney.
00:05:15.400 I mean, who's next, Hillary and Kamala on the road? 0.96
00:05:19.580 I mean, it's crazy.
00:05:20.360 I'll tell you who's next.
00:05:22.080 I'll tell you who's next.
00:05:23.680 Eric Holder is here right now.
00:05:26.200 Eric Holder is actually in Arizona right now.
00:05:28.560 He's comical.
00:05:29.900 It's like God couldn't give me any more gifts.
00:05:32.080 When he threw Liz Cheney my way with the anti-endorsement, we raised half a million dollars in 36 hours.
00:05:39.980 People are so turned off by everything she's about.
00:05:44.060 The party of warmongers is now the Democrat Party.
00:05:48.900 The Republican Party is the party of ideas that work, common sense solutions, and Liz Cheney knows that her political career is over. 0.92
00:05:57.860 And it's comical that she would think she could come to Arizona after she got drummed out of her own state, basically, by the voters.
00:06:06.580 Well, in the case of Eric Holder, though, he's just returning to the scene of the crime.
00:06:10.760 I mean, this is the guy who was in contempt of Congress.
00:06:16.080 No one put him on criminal referral, but he was contempt of Congress for fast and furious.
00:06:21.520 A Border Patrol agent killed as a result of all that happened with that transport of guns, sanctioned by none other than Eric Holder.
00:06:30.880 The president's wingman, I wasn't thinking, forgive me, Carrie, I forgot.
00:06:35.380 If Obama is in Arizona, Eric Holder has to be nearby because he's his wingman, remember?
00:06:41.940 Right.
00:06:42.600 It tells you that they're afraid.
00:06:44.200 They're afraid of a governor coming in, maybe starting to dig around a little bit.
00:06:49.080 But Eric Holder and Barack Obama ran a gun-running, basically, plan with the cartels.
00:06:57.780 And we ended up losing a great, brave Border Patrol agent named Brian Terry in this state.
00:07:03.720 And as far as I'm concerned, her running with these people makes her absolutely – she's unelectable.
00:07:12.320 She should be drummed out right now before she even gets a chance on election day because these are the worst of the worst.
00:07:18.240 They're truly the worst of the worst.
00:07:19.540 And why she would be running with them, it shows how desperate she is.
00:07:22.940 It shows they don't even have the base, Lou, if they have to bring Barack Obama and the disgraced Eric Holder out to try to scrabble together and cobble together, I should say, a few people to vote for her.
00:07:36.400 There's no excitement for her campaign and her candidacy.
00:07:39.320 It's a pretty sad set of figures when you talk about Eric Holder and Barack Obama.
00:07:47.400 Eric Holder, the president's wingman, Fast and Furious, Brian Terry killed as a result of Operation Fast and Furious, ATF, DEA, the Justice Department, all of them sullied by that operation, sanctioned by Eric Holder, obviously.
00:08:07.520 But the president is out trying to save Katie Hobbs and Joe Biden's fat.
00:08:13.560 I mean, it's crazy because he's the guy who lost 63 House seats and 12 Senate seats in his tenure as president.
00:08:23.760 I mean, that was a half-century bad experience for the Democratic Party, and now they're trying to replicate it.
00:08:31.900 There's no telling how many votes you're going to get now.
00:08:36.080 It's really interesting, though.
00:08:37.760 Barack Obama has lost any of his appeal.
00:08:40.820 And I'm not just saying that as somebody who is opposed to everything that he stands for and everything Katie Hobbs stands for.
00:08:47.420 I didn't see a lot of excitement from Democrats.
00:08:49.940 I mean, the people that were in that crowd were a lot of the people who are just part of the, you know, Democrat Party and the operatives.
00:08:58.420 I didn't see a lot of excitement or hear people talking about being excited that he was here in town.
00:09:04.720 He's lost his star power, and I don't think that it did her much good to have him.
00:09:09.200 He lost Arizona twice, and here she is bringing him in.
00:09:12.480 And it shows, to me, it was really, I don't even know what the word is, if it's sad or despicable, that we have our first black president coming to town,
00:09:21.000 stumping for a candidate for governor who is a twice-convicted racist.
00:09:25.760 She was convicted twice, both unanimous convictions by the jury, of paying a black worker in her office, a woman, a single mother, $30,000 less,
00:09:37.000 to do the same job that she paid men in the office. 0.52
00:09:40.340 And when the woman came to her and said, why am I making $30,000 less, Katie Hobbs fired her. 1.00
00:09:46.020 Two juries found Katie Hobbs guilty.
00:09:48.320 The people of Arizona are paying $2.75 million in settlement fees because of that.
00:09:54.120 I can't believe that Barack Obama would come to this town, to this state, and campaign for somebody who is racist.
00:10:00.720 It's really appalling.
00:10:02.660 Yes, it is.
00:10:03.840 And then when he's in Georgia, of course, he's demonizing Herschel Walker.
00:10:08.280 It's for being, quote-unquote, uneducated.
00:10:14.560 He's an elitist.
00:10:16.540 He's a globalist.
00:10:17.500 He is a condescending.
00:10:19.960 I mean, I don't know.
00:10:20.780 I think the man is extraordinarily racist of his own nature because he looks down his nose at anyone who is less educated,
00:10:31.620 who works for a living with their hands, the middle class of this country.
00:10:36.500 They are nothing but peons and peasants as far as he's concerned.
00:10:40.580 And he loves talking about himself.
00:10:42.760 We counted up one time in one of his State of the Union speeches over 100 references to himself.
00:10:49.320 Can you imagine that, Kerry?
00:10:50.540 100 references to himself.
00:10:53.020 But this is, after all, Barack Obama.
00:10:55.900 I want to turn to that border.
00:11:00.100 An illegal alien wanted by ICE breaking into, allegedly, Democrat Katie Hobbs' office.
00:11:07.380 How does she square that up with her open borders policies? 0.99
00:11:10.780 Well, first, she didn't want to admit that, and she blamed me for the break-in, trying to make it into some Watergate-style break-in,
00:11:18.220 which was comical because I didn't even know she had a campaign office, Lou. 0.99
00:11:22.020 I thought she was campaigning from her basement. 0.98
00:11:24.520 True.
00:11:24.980 It is true.
00:11:25.540 He's homeless.
00:11:27.060 He is here illegally, and he's a repeat offender. 0.57
00:11:31.400 He's got a rap sheet of doing this kind of break-in, and it's interesting that she would fall victim to the policies that she's pushing,
00:11:40.740 these policies that are making our crime spike by having a wide-open border, by defunding police,
00:11:47.380 not giving the attention to law enforcement that we need.
00:11:50.880 She's actually denounced law enforcement in order to get the Planned Parenthood to get their endorsement and their money. 1.00
00:11:57.160 And so it's the leftist policies that have destroyed California that she wants to push here that will increase our crime. 0.99
00:12:04.580 And to think that she became a victim of that kind of crime, it's really instant karma, in my opinion.
00:12:12.280 But I believe that this is why the people, we're seeing huge numbers of the suburban mom that's coming our way because they want safe streets.
00:12:22.160 They recognize the homeless population is growing.
00:12:25.220 They recognize that it's no longer safe for their kids to play and ride their bikes down the street.
00:12:30.440 It's no longer safe to walk across the grocery store parking lot because we're seeing these kind of crimes spike.
00:12:36.680 And that's why they're voting with Republicans.
00:12:38.840 With my plan, we're going to take control of our border.
00:12:42.760 On day one, we're going to issue a declaration of invasion, and we are going to begin to take back control from the cartels that Joe Biden ceded the power to.
00:12:52.140 And I think people are recognizing so many of our problems in Arizona stem from that wide open border.
00:12:58.360 We're going to take back our state's rights and our state's sovereignty.
00:13:01.840 And I believe when we do that here in Arizona, we will begin to save the whole country because the whole country is suffering because our border is open.
00:13:08.940 And I couldn't agree with you more and your emphasis on parental rights in our school systems, taking control of our public education.
00:13:20.000 That is, to me, one of the great issues of our time.
00:13:26.860 And public education has always been, of course, the great equalizer in our society.
00:13:32.380 No matter where you came from, who you were, if you could go to a public school and demonstrate intelligence and hard work and talent,
00:13:40.580 you were going to have a foundation for success and opportunity in your life.
00:13:46.380 And to see that denied so many children right now because of conflicts over everything from gender transitioning, sex education for nine-year-olds,
00:13:59.280 it's really time for strong leadership like yours in the state of Arizona and, I hope, in states all across the country.
00:14:07.780 Well, we're leading the way. We've got ESA for All, which is basically, you know, the left calls it vouchers.
00:14:13.620 But we're funding our students now, not the school system.
00:14:16.700 And that's a huge plus. Katie Hobbs, my opponent, after that was voted in by, after the legislature voted on it and passed it and the governor signed that bill and parents were for it,
00:14:27.620 she tried to stop it once again. Thankfully, it didn't work.
00:14:31.800 So now we have funding of the students, not the system.
00:14:35.000 And I believe that's the best way to improve our public schools, Lou.
00:14:38.060 It's good old-fashioned competition.
00:14:39.980 When people start to leave and take their kids out, they're going to have to reassess what they're doing and change up the curriculum.
00:14:46.700 No parent wants their kids being taught CRT or whatever else they want to call it.
00:14:52.160 They don't want their kids being taught to be racist.
00:14:54.720 They don't want this ridiculous 1619 curriculum that's disparaging our country and our history and not telling a true story.
00:15:01.840 And that's why we're going to bring the Hillsdale College 1776 curriculum, which is the truth about America.
00:15:09.060 And they certainly don't want their kids being subjected to what I believe is psychological abuse with this gender confusion and sex education at such a young age. 0.59
00:15:19.920 My opponent, Katie Hobbs, sponsored a piece of legislation to introduce sex education beginning in kindergarten. 1.00
00:15:27.540 Unbelievable.
00:15:27.880 You heard me correct.
00:15:28.960 Kindergarten.
00:15:29.860 She is so out of touch with what families want and what Arizona is about.
00:15:33.940 We need to send her packing and make sure we get out and vote next Tuesday like our lives depend on it and like our kids' lives and future and liberty depends on it. 1.00
00:15:43.500 Well, I have to say, I just talked with Ted Cruz the other day, and he had just come back from Arizona singing your praises and singing the praises of all the Republican candidates there.
00:15:56.680 And he's predicting a red tidal wave for Arizona and for much of the country, and I just wanted to pass that along.
00:16:03.600 I'm sure he shared that with you, but he thinks very highly of you, as do we all, and wish you all the very best of luck on November 8th, Carrie.
00:16:13.800 Thanks for being with us.
00:16:14.940 Thank you, Lou.
00:16:14.960 I really appreciate that.
00:16:16.200 And Ted's wife.
00:16:16.960 Senator Cruz is wonderful.
00:16:18.180 We loved having him out here.
00:16:19.500 We've had some great Republicans come out and campaign with us.
00:16:22.040 What we're going to do in Arizona is going to be really good, not just for our state, but for our whole country, and I think we'll get other border states to fellow suit.
00:16:31.580 And so thank you for having me on throughout this long campaign period.
00:16:36.680 I appreciate you allowing me to talk to your listeners because I know how much America loves you and how much you love this country.
00:16:44.000 Very kind, Carrie.
00:16:45.560 God bless you, and thanks so much.
00:16:47.520 And, again, good luck on November 8th.
00:16:50.520 Thank you so much.
00:16:52.720 Bye-bye.
00:16:54.240 Thanks, everybody.
00:16:56.040 Tomorrow is Election Day, and let's go vote.
00:16:58.940 Let's vote in as many MAGA candidates as we can and return this country to its founding ideals and prosperity.
00:17:06.960 America first, my friends.
00:17:08.820 And in that spirit, our guest tomorrow is General Mike Flynn.
00:17:12.940 Please join us.
00:17:14.300 Till then, God bless you, and may God bless America.
