The Great America Show - STATE GOP PARTIES RALLYING AROUND MAGA CANDIDATES, WORKING TO ASSURE NO REPEAT OF 2020

00:00:00.000 Hello, everybody. I'm Lou Dobbs, and this is The Great America Show.

00:00:05.520 Happy to have you with us today.

00:00:07.740 Today we should take a look at where we are as we approach November 8 and the midterm elections.

00:00:13.540 There's a lot going on, some of which is public and above board.

00:00:17.760 A lot more is still in the shadows and out of sight,

00:00:21.580 far from the prying eyes of American citizens who prize integrity in our elections,

00:00:27.200 honesty in our elected officials, and insist on the public's right to know what their government is doing.

00:00:34.840 We'll be talking with Kyle Arguin, Secretary of State for Louisiana,

00:00:40.140 a national leader in the campaign to assure fair elections, honest elections in the great state of Louisiana,

00:00:47.340 and Kelly Ward, Chair of the Republican Party in Arizona, on the fight for electoral integrity in Arizona.

00:00:54.440 They'll be with us here in a few minutes.

00:00:57.200 Some of what's going on with the midterms now only coming to light.

00:01:01.620 We've learned that the Biden administration is now teaming up with Chinese-owned TikTok,

00:01:07.300 if you can believe this, to partner with the Federal Voting Assistance Program.

00:01:13.020 The Gateway Pundit reporting that development.

00:01:15.760 By the way, the FCC telling tech companies two months ago

00:01:19.940 to remove TikTok from their app stores as it surveils American users.

00:01:26.320 There are an estimated 6 million American voters overseas.

00:01:30.440 Good to know that the Biden regime and the Marxist Dems are still working for the American people.

00:01:37.420 And if you're worried about a recurrence of the Zuckerbox intervention in the 2020 election,

00:01:43.460 Facebook, we're told, is planning to protect the 2022 midterms.

00:01:49.040 Forty teams with hundreds of people to prevent interference,

00:01:53.280 giving reliable information to voters.

00:01:56.180 And oh yes, they'll be partnering again with the Biden regime

00:02:00.060 through an alliance with the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.

00:02:05.440 In other words, there will be direct interference by government in our 2022 elections.

00:02:12.800 This is truly scary, folks.

00:02:15.280 Where is the outcry from the Republican leadership?

00:02:18.940 This is a foundation for a repeat of 2020

00:02:22.220 and a further intrusion by the federal government into state elections.

00:02:28.240 And so it goes.

00:02:30.520 Joining us now, the Louisiana Secretary of State, Kyle Arguin,

00:02:34.820 who is not only credited with leading election reform in his great state,

00:02:39.000 but setting the standard for the rest of the country.

00:02:42.260 Arguin has terminated Louisiana's relationship with a highly controversial

00:02:46.740 and criticized electronic information system called ERIC.

00:02:52.040 It's a nationwide voter registration system that is partly funded by George Soros.

00:02:58.600 31 states are voluntary members of ERIC,

00:03:01.900 and Louisiana is the first of those states to withdraw,

00:03:06.180 expressing serious concerns about election security.

00:03:10.280 Secretary Arguin has also ordered all Louisiana election officials

00:03:14.680 to retain election records not only for the upcoming midterms,

00:03:19.600 but for 2020 as well.

00:03:22.140 Kyle Arguin, good to have you with us here on The Great America Show.

00:03:26.000 Thanks for all you're doing for election integrity.

00:03:28.440 How do you feel right now about Louisiana's readiness for the upcoming midterms?

00:03:34.720 Well, I think we're very much prepared for it.

00:03:38.000 We have been working very hard to make sure that everything is on the up and up

00:03:44.280 and that we are prepared to make certain that people are eligible to vote in person.

00:03:52.380 And, you know, when 97% of our people voted in person during COVID,

00:03:58.300 during the presidential election, I thought that was really a great thing for us

00:04:02.700 because people were certain, they wanted to make certain that their vote counted.

00:04:08.060 And we're still doing that now.

00:04:10.500 We fought back, you know, additional mail-in voting.

00:04:13.980 We fought back on vote harvesting.

00:04:18.040 We had passed legislation to prevent that from politicians to political parties

00:04:22.880 to political action committees to the nonprofits.

00:04:27.880 We feel good where we are.

00:04:29.400 We worked really hard.

00:04:31.320 We had just had an audit done by the Louisiana legislative auditors,

00:04:35.600 and they provided us with what they believe is that Louisiana has done a phenomenal job

00:04:42.260 in terms of keeping integrity in our elections.

00:04:46.100 And they noted, you know, numerous things, about five things that we were doing really well,

00:04:52.180 which was working hard to keep our lists accurate by using out-of-state information

00:04:56.820 to make sure that we had a cure process that was clearly defined in law

00:05:02.200 so people who utilized mail balloting couldn't fake it

00:05:09.260 but could surely make sure that their vote counted.

00:05:13.200 And, of course, verification after the election.

00:05:17.460 And so we just passed some additional legislation to provide for us to be able to start an audit process.

00:05:24.260 We're in the middle of working towards a paper-based voting system.

00:05:31.020 And so we're really excited about where we're headed.

00:05:33.540 I think that the Louisianians trust their elections,

00:05:36.600 and we work every day with patriots to make sure that we're headed in the right direction.

00:05:42.840 Well, that's wonderful.

00:05:44.080 And I think a lot of people probably their ears sort of hit the brakes

00:05:48.980 when you said you used the words paper-based system.

00:05:54.260 When everybody else seems to be talking about electronic voting, first and foremost,

00:05:59.920 give us an idea of what you mean when you talk about a paper-based voting system.

00:06:06.460 Well, we want voters to be able to verify their vote.

00:06:09.820 So either use of a hand-marked paper ballot or a ballot-marking device,

00:06:16.460 and the voter verify their vote prior to casting it in a formal way.

00:06:24.460 That way, when all is said and done, we can do a full audit or a risk-limiting audit,

00:06:31.660 whichever the people prefer for us to do, whatever passes the legislature.

00:06:37.060 We want to make sure that the election, the vote tally is accurate.

00:06:42.380 And that's the most important thing because that gives voters the confidence

00:06:47.000 that their votes were accurately counted and reported to the public.

00:06:54.160 Now, every state in the union is using voting machines in some fashion.

00:06:59.940 What voting system are you using, electronic voting?

00:07:02.820 We are using Dominion.

00:07:07.860 We started out some years back when, you know, after the Florida presidential race

00:07:14.800 where there was hanging chads, they used the original,

00:07:18.760 previous administrations used the original HAVA money to buy electronic voting machines.

00:07:24.960 And so Louisiana is determined, I'm determined as Secretary of State,

00:07:30.000 to have a paper-based system so that our voters are able to make sure that their votes are accurately counted.

00:07:38.120 With all the concerns around the country and what happened in many of the swing states,

00:07:43.680 you know, I feel like that's an important thing.

00:07:45.440 And we've been working towards this.

00:07:47.040 We've hit a couple of bumps in the road over the last several years

00:07:50.440 because of the fighting between the vendors.

00:07:54.640 You know, it's a very niche market.

00:07:57.660 There's only five major companies.

00:07:59.480 And so the competition is pretty hefty.

00:08:01.640 And they use all means available legal and political in order to try to win contracts.

00:08:10.480 And so that's what we've been up against in the last several years.

00:08:14.180 So with Dominion, which has been the focus of some considerable criticism and concern and lawsuits as well,

00:08:25.900 what are your plans with Dominion itself?

00:08:30.660 Well, we have met with Dominion now three times in the last month.

00:08:36.100 We have made sure that all of the mitigation efforts that are necessary to make sure that the early voting machines are working properly.

00:08:48.540 Our Election Day machines aren't technically Dominion machines.

00:08:51.800 They go back to a company called Diebold and Sequoia that ended up being bought out by Dominion.

00:08:59.960 So I pushed hard to find out what was in Dr. Haldeman's report.

00:09:06.520 Last December I sued to try to be admitted into the court case in Georgia so that I could get the information to secure our machines moving forward.

00:09:18.880 And I was denied that by the judge.

00:09:23.260 The Secretary of State in Georgia also opposed my intervention.

00:09:26.820 So I started pushing for CISA to get involved and to help us make certain that we had the information we needed in order to fix any possible vulnerabilities.

00:09:42.420 So we've utilized all the recommendations from CISA.

00:09:47.260 But in addition to that, we had about 12 additional recommendations that my staff came up with that we're currently working on to mitigate any concerns moving forward.

00:09:57.740 Now, a lot of folks right now are wondering, you know, this is an awfully complicated subject.

00:10:03.460 And when you talk about Sequoia and Diebold and just a matter of complete transparency here, I started working on the issue of electronic voting and the concerns with it in a democracy 20 years ago.

00:10:23.480 And Sequoia and sequoia and sequoia and Sequoia and Sequoia and sequoia andérence.

00:10:34.800 And those old systems had immense vulnerabilities.

00:10:37.160 You're not saying that this current Dominion machines have the same, let's say troubled or concerning aspects to them that existed 20 years ago.

00:10:49.460 are you? No. What I'm saying, you know, 20 years ago, obviously, the technology wasn't the same as

00:10:58.100 today. I think in terms of today's efforts, I think the concern is how far has the technology

00:11:05.360 come, and are we able to make sure that they're accurately counting votes as people intend to

00:11:13.700 vote, and that's why a paper-based system is so important in order to confirm accuracy or, in some

00:11:22.040 cases, allow voters not to have to use the machines at all. I think what we need to do, and I think it's

00:11:28.640 incumbent upon states to make sure that whatever is used to tally the votes is separate from the

00:11:38.100 actual machines that either mark ballots or record voters' intent and not be the actual tallies

00:11:46.460 machinery. And then, obviously... That's interesting. That's interesting. Yeah. To separate the ballots

00:11:55.400 and, if you will, the counting machines, voting machines and counting machines. Is that an easy

00:12:02.580 way to say it, or is it incorrect? That's an easy way to say it. That's exactly right. So, I think 0.75

00:12:09.660 that's smart as smart as can be. Are your machines in any way hooked to the internet? No. Never have

00:12:19.440 been. We know that vulnerability exists, so we check for it. We have tamper-proof seals that we put

00:12:27.320 on our machines. The old machines don't even have any capability. They're so old. And so, they're just

00:12:37.100 basically, you know, a calculator, if you will. But the newer machines, the early voting machines, and the

00:12:47.520 machines, I guess, that are used in the state of Georgia and elsewhere are, you know, newer technology. And so, you

00:12:55.620 have to make sure that, one, you provide for tamper-proof seals so people can't get

00:13:02.180 into them. You keep them under lock and key. And in Louisiana, we don't allow the vendor

00:13:09.820 to program any of our machines. All of our ballots are programmed by us in our state, by

00:13:17.160 my employees, and then programmed onto the machines directly. So, we don't let the vendors touch the

00:13:23.240 machines once they're in our possession and we utilize them. But again, Lou, it's, you know, the

00:13:29.440 more you can air gap things, the more that you can separate productivity. So, you know, the machines

00:13:37.360 mark the ballots, or you allow individuals to mark their ballots, and then you separate that from

00:13:42.360 the tabulators and let the tabulators do their job without any Wi-Fi connectivity, sort of just a,

00:13:50.080 you know, a dumb calculator kind of thing. And then you, and then you audit the tabulators

00:13:56.200 afterwards. That, you know, if we want quick results, then we're going to have to use automation.

00:14:02.880 If people don't care about how long it takes to count votes, which I think they do, because they're

00:14:07.520 worried about undue influence in the process, then, then you have to, you have to figure out how can I

00:14:14.020 get unofficial results, and then how can I audit it after the election to make sure that before we

00:14:20.120 certify that everything was accurate. And, and I think that's the key. That's what, I think that's

00:14:25.540 what Americans are looking for all across the country. I think that's, I think that's well said,

00:14:30.500 Kyle. And Americans right now are a little tired. I mean, you just used the reference to early

00:14:36.220 voting. Early voting has become a category unto itself, with greater precedence and more time

00:14:42.600 available and an attempt to attract people to, in many states, early voting, or, you know, incessant

00:14:51.540 voting, if you will. This has become a, instead of an election day, this has become, across most of the

00:14:58.020 country, I believe is a fair statement. It's election season, for crying out loud. And this is creating,

00:15:04.300 in and of itself, as you well know, immense distrust and skepticism about the integrity of each state's

00:15:13.300 voting systems. Yeah, Lou, that's why I pursue and, and, and push hard in-person voting, because I think

00:15:24.620 that's the best way for individuals to make sure that their vote was cast as accurately as possible. I'm not a

00:15:32.340 big fan of, of mail voting. I know that that, that is a process by which we have to utilize for, you know,

00:15:38.580 elderly, for sick, disabled individuals, and people who travel a lot. I get that. But the more that you

00:15:47.620 can have people vote in person, gives the voter the best shot at making sure that their vote is,

00:15:54.380 is accurately counted. And one thing we do in Louisiana that's different from many other states,

00:16:00.760 I don't want to say all states, because I just don't know their, all their details. But for

00:16:05.820 Louisiana, if you vote by absentee, one, you have to request the ballot by filling out a form,

00:16:13.680 identifying yourself, and giving the reason why you're asking for an absentee ballot. And you have

00:16:17.840 to sign it as if you were attesting and, you know, testifying in court against, you know, perjury,

00:16:26.380 possible perjury, et cetera. So then once that's processed, and the registrar believes, the local

00:16:32.580 registrar believes that that's a legitimate request, then the ballot's sent. We track all

00:16:37.060 that, when it's returned. And every single absentee ballot that is to be counted has to be in

00:16:44.020 the registrar's office by 4 30 p.m. the day before the election. That way, then we can process it and

00:16:51.480 make sure, one, the person's removed from the election day rolls. We do a supplemental list

00:16:57.540 that goes to every precinct in the state on election morning. And if that ballot is not in

00:17:04.620 by 4 30 p.m. the day before the election, it is not counted. Whereas in other states, and we saw this

00:17:10.880 in 2020 in the presidential election, states were still counting ballots that came in if they had a

00:17:16.080 postmarked days after the election. And I just don't think that's, see, when you talk about

00:17:22.260 election season, you know, I don't know any hunter that can go duck hunting or deer hunting after the

00:17:29.800 season's over. It's not, there's no possibility for that. It ends on the day. And I think that's what,

00:17:35.880 that's the problem we're having right now. And a lot, why there's a lack of confidence in the

00:17:40.420 process, because elections turn after election day, and it just doesn't make sense.

00:17:46.080 Absolutely. And I want to point out to everybody that the Secretary of State of Louisiana,

00:17:53.020 Secretary Arguin, has made it certain that there will be no ballot harvesting.

00:17:58.840 Tell us about how you, how that went and how much opposition you had to get it done.

00:18:06.940 Well, it actually, it, it passed early on, I believe in 2020. And before people really understood

00:18:16.060 in depth what ballot harvesting would look like. And so we were able to pass it bipartisanly and have

00:18:25.680 the governor sign it. But what we did was we wanted to make sure within our current system that any

00:18:33.680 expansion for COVID, the minuscule expansion that we had for absentee by mail voting, would not

00:18:42.820 create a problem for our election. And so we wanted to make sure that no political party,

00:18:52.440 no political candidate or campaign, no political action committee, and no 501c3 or 501c4,

00:19:03.120 quote unquote, nonprofit organizations were would create an advantage for one side or the other. So we

00:19:12.420 outlawed them being able to harvest absentee ballot requests or absentee ballots. And, you know, in

00:19:22.460 Louisiana, the only time someone can turn in a ballot for another person is if it's a family member,

00:19:28.820 or if it's a neighbor, you can do one or the other, but you can't do both. And if it's for immediate

00:19:35.820 family, you can only bring in two, but you have to bring them in person, you have to show ID, and you

00:19:40.140 have to fill out a form saying that you were given permission to do this, what your relationship is

00:19:45.680 to those individuals, and you have to show your ID so that we can confirm who you are, and you have to sign

00:19:51.500 it under penalty of law, which is an election fraud, which is a felony in the state of Louisiana.

00:20:01.660 So, you know, we tightened it all up, we made sure we were going to have integrity in our elections,

00:20:08.280 and we made sure that organizations weren't going to be able to manipulate our elections. So

00:20:13.120 I was really excited when we got that that legislation passed. Absolutely. Zucker Bucks, 0.96

00:20:22.160 I think most people understand it, primarily the $415 million that Mark Zuckerberg threw into the

00:20:31.920 election to tip the scales in favor of the Democrats in the 2020 election. You tried to ban Zucker Bucks 1.00

00:20:42.040 in Louisiana, but as I understand it, your Democratic governor there, John Bell Edwards,

00:20:48.680 didn't like it. So he wanted to have that freedom that Zucker Bucks bring. Your reaction? 1.00

00:20:57.160 Frustrated, aggravated, and obviously, when you look at what Zucker Bucks did, and we put it on the record, 0.92

00:21:05.920 the manipulation, and how it was used to change the outcome of the election, and where those dollars

00:21:13.040 were spent, and how those dollars were spent, you know, it's very frustrating. In my opinion,

00:21:20.080 along with my attorney general and the author of the legislation two years in a row, Representative

00:21:26.240 like Miguez, we all together fought that issue and wanted to make sure that no outside money

00:21:35.840 infiltrates our local election offices. And, you know, it's frustrating to me that it's such a political

00:21:44.640 issue because if you look at it from either side of the aisle, if you will, then you could see how

00:21:52.080 individuals or small groups with a lot of money could manipulate the outcome of an election.

00:22:00.160 And it's, for me, as an election official, as a chief elections officer of the state of Louisiana,

00:22:08.800 it's my job to make sure that everybody knows the rules and the playing field is level, and that we

00:22:14.560 have an honest, accurate, secure election. And you can't do that when private money is infiltrating

00:22:21.600 the election administration. You know, when you start giving money to different...

00:22:27.520 So what are you going to do about it? I mean...

00:22:30.560 Well, we don't allow for ballot boxes in the state of Louisiana. So we're going to watch for it. The

00:22:36.400 attorney general and I are watching for it. If anything occurs, we're going straight to court.

00:22:41.840 We're going to stop its usage. Luckily, I have more authority as the chief elections officer in

00:22:47.120 the state of Louisiana to direct how elections are handled across our state. And so I'm able to

00:22:53.360 stop some of the shenanigans that might be utilized or that was utilized in 2020.

00:23:01.920 Well, you also have the authority to suspend participation in the so-called electronic registration

00:23:08.000 center, the system called ERIC. You're very upset with the fact that it didn't seem to you that it was

00:23:18.160 helping you in any way to boost the accuracy or voter rolls or assure election integrity. Tell us more about that.

00:23:26.640 Well, I felt when looking at it in depth, I didn't feel like the security measures are there.

00:23:34.880 I didn't feel like that there was enough third-party auditing to make certain that our

00:23:41.040 voters' data was not being infiltrated by third parties and then manipulated. As you know,

00:23:47.440 one of the significant things about the ERIC operation is that they use motor vehicle information

00:23:56.560 from all the states. And so when you're able to do that, my concern is, are they manipulating it? They

00:24:04.400 force us to try to register unregistered voters, which is fine. That's an important thing if people 0.98

00:24:11.920 want to get registered to vote and participate. But what they didn't do is they didn't force states

00:24:16.560 to clean up their voter rolls. And that was evident post the 2020 presidential election. And so I just

00:24:25.520 felt like there are other opportunities out there that we can look forward to to clean up our rolls. And

00:24:31.840 I'll work in those directions and not put Louisiana at risk of having our voter rolls manipulated

00:24:40.720 or voter data manipulated for by third parties without any security mechanisms.

00:24:49.680 Is there any question about the people who run ERIC, who have funded ERIC and perhaps political purposes as well?

00:25:02.240 Well, you know, I don't want to get into personalities because it really wasn't a personality issue. It was

00:25:06.960 more about how the process worked and which companies had contracts and how the operations,

00:25:14.320 the information was exchanged and who had access or didn't have access and how that was audited.

00:25:20.400 You know, there's a lot of stories out there as to how it got started. I will say this, you know,

00:25:25.280 there are some, a member or two on the board of directors that probably shouldn't be there. And I know

00:25:30.640 that there's some secretaries of state, Republicans that are seeking some reforms of ERIC. But until

00:25:38.000 that's accomplished, I felt like it was just best for Louisiana to remove itself from the situation

00:25:43.600 altogether.

00:25:44.080 Well, so as, as we're wrapping up here, Kyle, give us a sense, if you will, and we always give our

00:25:53.360 guests the last word. Give us a sense about how you feel this election will go. You're, I want you to,

00:26:01.280 if you would, give us a sense of first Louisiana, but then also your confidence level about the integrity

00:26:07.680 of the, the national midterm elections. Sure. So I, you know, I feel good about where we are

00:26:17.440 in Louisiana. I feel even better as to where we're headed. You know, we had a, my staff and I had a

00:26:23.840 two hour meeting, my election staff, going through all the issues that we feel are important to make

00:26:30.400 sure that we continue to build confidence for the people of Louisiana, that their vote will be

00:26:34.800 securely and accurately counted in this upcoming election. We continue to look for ways to improve

00:26:41.840 our processes and procedures to build upon the, the legislative auditor's report from this last

00:26:49.680 spring, from last year's statewide election that was reported this, this past spring. We're continuing

00:26:55.920 to look at ways that we can make sure that our voter rolls are as up to date as possible. Obviously,

00:27:02.320 given the fact that the governor vetoed a second time legislation, that would have helped me clean

00:27:07.200 up our voter rolls even more. But we're going to, you know, we're, I'm not stopping here. I'm determined

00:27:13.120 to, to get to the paper-based process that we need in Louisiana. I feel good about, you know, having just

00:27:21.360 concluded a national conference in Baton Rouge with my colleagues. Everybody is keen on doing what they need

00:27:30.960 to do in their states. I feel really good about the, what, what, Lou, what, I'd like to say this. I am

00:27:41.600 appreciative of the patriots all around the country. For the first time, people are asking tough questions

00:27:47.360 of their election officials. And I don't think it's an insult. At first, I probably did. But in discernment,

00:27:54.880 I realized, you know, people are waking up, people are noticing, people want to make sure that their

00:28:01.920 elections are running right, that their elections have integrity, and they're asking all the right

00:28:07.040 questions. And that's what, that's what our country is about. If our leaders don't listen to the people

00:28:14.160 on the ground, the voters themselves, then how can we ever improve? And how can we give them the confidence

00:28:20.080 level that they need, that their democracy is not being stolen from them? Or excuse me, their republic

00:28:24.800 is not being stolen from them. So I feel better than ever, just because of the patriots that are

00:28:31.840 working so hard to, to hold election officials accountable. And I'm one of them. And I thank them

00:28:37.280 for it. Well, Kyle, we appreciate so much for being with us. And we thank you for everything you're

00:28:43.200 doing for the great state of Louisiana, and, and across the country. We appreciate it. And I wish

00:28:50.160 you all the very best as election day closes in on us with less than three months to go now. Thanks

00:28:55.840 so much. And God bless you, Kyle. Thanks, Lou. God bless you.

00:29:01.520 And now we turn to the Arizona chair of the Republican Party, Kelly Ward. Kelly is also concerned

00:29:08.640 about election integrity, of course, in her state. She's also credited with pulling the GOP together,

00:29:14.240 building a great slate of candidates, and creating a MAGA Republican Party unified throughout the

00:29:20.720 primaries and looks to be running strong come November. Kelly Ward, great to talk with you again

00:29:27.040 and have you with us here on The Great America Show. And congratulations on your success as you look

00:29:32.720 forward now to November 8. Thank you, Lou. Yes, we embraced the America First mantra before the 2020

00:29:43.360 election and since. And we've been fighting to bring the power back to the people here in our state.

00:29:49.920 There was a time, Lou, and you know, you watched it happen under John McCain and other people like him,

00:29:56.880 where they amassed all kinds of political power. They took it away from our precinct committee,

00:30:02.320 and they took it away from our voters, and they really hoarded it to themselves.

00:30:06.560 And it was detrimental to our state. Look, we ended up right now, we have two Democrats as our

00:30:11.680 senators. We have a congressional delegation that is five Democrats to four Republicans.

00:30:17.280 We almost lost our legislature to the Democrats, for goodness sake. And that was under that kind of

00:30:23.280 leadership, which I personally think was not very good leadership. And now we have really activated the

00:30:30.320 people to come back to life and to come back to the party because they understand that we do want

00:30:36.160 to make America great again, and they want to help us do it. And you've got to feel good about being able

00:30:42.320 to back that up with a very important statistic and turnout record, the best turnout in primary history

00:30:51.680 in the state of Arizona, right? Yes, we had record-breaking turnout for the primary. And of that turnout,

00:30:59.920 85 to 90 percent were Republicans who showed up to vote. They wanted to make their voice heard. And when you see

00:31:07.360 our candidates that won, it's just, it's spectacular. Every single person that Trump endorsed at the top of the ticket,

00:31:16.000 as well as down into some of our legislative races won, we were able also not only to get good people in,

00:31:22.880 we were also able to get some pretty bad people out. One of the biggest political stories, I think,

00:31:29.520 of this cycle is the unelecting of Speaker of the House, Rusty Bowers. Now, the media wants to say,

00:31:38.080 oh, they censured Rusty Bowers because of his testimony at the January 6th committee. It had nothing

00:31:44.720 to do with January 6th. And I can tell you that here on the ground, nobody even talks about January 6th.

00:31:50.320 Nobody cares about January 6th. They care about the economy. They care about gas prices. They care

00:31:56.160 about the border being secured. They care about education with our kids. They do not care about

00:32:01.520 J6. But with Rusty Bowers, he was censured because instead of sticking with the Republican Party platform

00:32:09.200 and championing those things that our voters care about and the people of Arizona care about,

00:32:14.080 he went the way of the Democrats. And we as Republicans and leaders in the Republican Party

00:32:19.680 have to hold our own people accountable. Because if we don't, they will continue to move us to the

00:32:27.200 left. They will continue to allow the Democrat policies that are so detrimental to our communities,

00:32:32.640 to our state and to our nation to go into effect, maybe a little bit more slowly than they would if it

00:32:37.840 was all Democrats in charge. But we can't have Republicans who are assisting in that effort. 0.84

00:32:43.840 Well, good for you. And this is precisely, I think, the lesson for Republicans across the country.

00:32:52.720 Hold your party members and office holders in, hold them accountable. Because that's what the

00:33:00.720 Democrats do. It's why they have a unified voice. You don't hear, you know, you don't hear Democrats in

00:33:08.240 name only, do you? Never.

00:33:10.320 Never. But you sure hear it about Republicans. And the rhinos at the national level are a huge,

00:33:17.680 toxic cesspool of trouble for the national party. It is, it's, I'm just so proud of you for getting

00:33:27.520 that done and for the party in Arizona to do so. And, you know, I'll say it's just straight up. I want

00:33:37.760 Kelly Ward to replace Ronna McDaniels right now. So if you would put that on your, your, your maybe,

00:33:46.240 you might consider to do list. Well, I think Ronna has a terrible job. It's a very big challenge. I 0.53

00:33:53.200 know just at the state level what a challenge it is because you're always making somebody mad. I think

00:33:59.520 that there are a lot of establishment Republicans and they like to now call themselves institutionalists.

00:34:05.040 They are institutionalists, which I actually think is worse for them to call themselves

00:34:09.040 than establishment. They are shaking in their boots because of what we were able to accomplish

00:34:14.720 here in Arizona. They've been trying to get rid of me for a long time, Lou, you know,

00:34:19.680 because if we had another chairman of this party in Arizona sitting here today, we would not have

00:34:25.840 Carrie Lake for governor. We would not have Blake Masters for Senate. We would not have Abraham

00:34:30.480 Hamaday for attorney general, Mark Fincham for secretary of state. Those people would not be

00:34:36.400 at the table. They would have been smashed beyond repair in some cases. And instead we'd have the

00:34:44.320 establishment automatons that will do the bidding of the big donors of the consulting class.

00:34:50.880 And instead we have people that will work for the people of our state and of this nation

00:34:57.520 to put things back on track. Well, it's just, I think everyone

00:35:02.480 listening to your voice right now has to feel very good about what the Republican Party state by state

00:35:10.240 is accomplishing despite an absence. And this is me speaking, not Kelly Ward.

00:35:16.560 Well, I will tell you, Lou, what you're doing despite the Republican National Committee.

00:35:23.520 President Trump called me. That's right. We're doing it. I mean, sometimes it is despite

00:35:27.200 outside influences from the National Committee, from activists, from consultants. But we are working

00:35:34.000 very, very hard to create the unity that we need. This is not the same kind of unity that Republicans

00:35:40.560 in name only have demanded from conservatives for years. This is actually come to the party and

00:35:46.400 let's win. Their view was come to the party, bend the knee to the establishment, or we're going to

00:35:53.840 oust you. We're going to get rid of you. But I will tell you, President Trump called me a couple of days

00:35:58.480 ago and it was just such an honor. I've talked to him a lot, but he called me this time to say,

00:36:05.360 thank you for what you did. You have shown what a great leader you are. And I'm so proud of you.

00:36:13.760 Whenever Donald J. Trump says, I'm so proud of you, let me just tell you, it makes you get goosebumps

00:36:20.960 because he's seen it. He's gone through it. He knows what I've gone through. And to know that I've

00:36:27.040 done well is all the reward I need. Well, and it's exactly what he has envisioned for some years now,

00:36:37.040 is to have a party that comes together, works together, and from which his administration

00:36:44.720 in 2025 can draw immense talent and have a party that is united also in governance, which was something

00:36:55.120 that President Trump, as you well know, has been fighting political persecution from the latter half of

00:37:02.480 2016 as a candidate through now and his entire presidency. He's staving off a coup by the deep

00:37:11.840 state, the radical Marxist Dems who fought him on every issue on every level.

00:37:18.640 And he did it without a lot of help in that cabinet and in that administration, as you well know.

00:37:26.160 Well, I think the message that those Paul Ryan, Mitt Romney, Liz Cheney,

00:37:31.920 Adam Kinzinger type Republicans should be getting from Arizona is they're going to be gone. We are not

00:37:39.200 going to tolerate that kind of internal backstabbing of the leader of our party. Those policies that President

00:37:47.520 Trump brought to the table made things better. And we're seeing it in action watching these Democrats

00:37:52.880 and their shenanigans, what they've put us through in just 18 months. But those Republicans in our

00:38:00.160 state who sometimes want to be backstabbers of the Republican Party and the Republican people and the

00:38:05.760 voters that put them into those offices, this better be a wake up call for them. We have a few more

00:38:11.840 targets for two years from now that if in these next two years, if they're not shaping up and they're

00:38:17.360 not going with our strong leadership here in Arizona, not just with Carrie Lake as governor,

00:38:22.080 but inside the legislature as well, that conservative movement, the people that believe in faith,

00:38:27.600 family and freedom, the people who want small government and low taxes and following the

00:38:32.400 Constitution, personal responsibility. Those are the people that we are amassing here in Arizona,

00:38:37.440 and we want to be a shining example. I don't know why more states, more governors in particular,

00:38:43.840 don't follow Ron DeSantis' lead. He is the most popular governor with Republicans across the board.

00:38:50.960 Of course, he's a target of the Democrats. Of course, he's a target of the fake news media

00:38:56.400 because he's effective. But if we can create more conservative governors with a backbone,

00:39:04.000 I say that my job here as the chairman of the party is to make sure that our people have a heart,

00:39:09.200 a soul and a spine. I live it by example. And I want them to know that if you have a heart,

00:39:15.840 a soul and a spine, you're going to go far and you're going to help the people who put you into

00:39:20.160 the position that you currently hold. And if you don't have a heart, a soul and a spine,

00:39:26.000 then we're going to hold you accountable and we're going to unelect you and put better people in.

00:39:30.400 Yeah. Well, good for you. And I couldn't agree with you more. And I think most of the country,

00:39:37.760 and I'm not talking about just Republicans. I think most Americans want the Republican Party

00:39:44.240 and the leadership of Donald Trump to be exactly that. And I love the description. But to the issue

00:39:53.680 of the governors as you raise it, right now, the New York Times is blaming Republican governors for

00:40:00.720 causing havoc by, as the governor there in Arizona, Governor Abbott in Texas, bussing illegal aliens 0.99

00:40:12.240 to the nation's capital or New York City. It's havoc if governors do it. But if Joe Biden is doing it,

00:40:21.760 putting them on buses, moving them all across the country in the dead of night. And by the way,

00:40:26.240 we're talking somewhere around 1.6 million in the first year of his administration all over the

00:40:32.480 country and dropping them in and private chartered aircraft as well. And this is this ignorant hypocrisy 0.97

00:40:42.800 and deceit on the part of the corporate left media, like the New York Times, like ABC News, 0.97

00:40:50.320 like CBS, MSNBC, you name it. It's just ridiculous. And they're heroes. They're not raising havoc. 0.97

00:40:59.760 They're creating hell for the people who are causing hell on our middle class, 0.99

00:41:04.400 our working men and women and their families all across America.

00:41:08.480 You're exactly right. And I agree with Carrie Lake when she says, I don't want them to be further

00:41:14.640 into our country. I want them to be gone. But the message that has been sent by putting just a few

00:41:21.760 of these illegal immigrants, illegal aliens into these liberal bastions has been spectacular. 1.00

00:41:30.160 They didn't care whenever they allowed illegal aliens into Arizona for decades and how it affected

00:41:38.960 every aspect of our society, from health care to education, to public safety, to our judiciary.

00:41:45.040 Our very judiciary is clogged up with people who shouldn't even be in our country. And so 1.00

00:41:50.640 I love that the message was sent by Governor Abbott and others that they got to see it in action. I

00:41:59.520 mean, their services in their liberal states are being taxed by people who shouldn't be there.

00:42:06.240 They didn't care when it was in conservative Arizona, when it was in conservative Texas.

00:42:11.280 They didn't care about that one bit. And so I love, I love the message that it sent. And maybe,

00:42:19.360 just maybe, I mean, you see that Joe Biden's saying that we're going to

00:42:22.400 start building Trump's wall again here in Arizona, in Yuma. Now, they think that's going to help Mark

00:42:29.040 Kelly in the Senate race, but people's eyes have been opened. We're going to get Blake Masters,

00:42:34.640 amazing, smart, young, dynamic fighter into the United States Senate. It's not just going to help

00:42:41.440 Arizona. It's going to help this whole country. And yes, we are going to finish the wall. We're

00:42:45.600 going to build Trump's wall. And I appreciate Biden helping us do it. Yeah. You know, if indeed,

00:42:52.160 we do see even any effort at all that will help the Yuma sector along that border in particular,

00:43:00.080 slow down, uh, sex trafficking, the, uh, the exportation by Mexico of the ingredients they 0.61

00:43:07.360 get from China, the deadly fentanyl poisonings that are so successful that over a hundred thousand 0.54

00:43:14.800 deaths and the numbers go perhaps twice that much, uh, that twice that high. Uh, it's a fentanyl

00:43:21.440 poisoning designed by China and Mexico, and it's being unleashed on the entire country. And that makes 1.00

00:43:28.320 this president, this administration, Alejandro Mayorkas, the head of DHS, that makes them all

00:43:34.480 pro cartel because the cartels are controlling all of that traffic across that border. And I mean,

00:43:40.480 on both sides of that border. Don't you agree? I do. I do. And, and many people in our government

00:43:47.040 know who these people are, but they've been either fearful or complicit with the people that are in

00:43:53.760 charge of our border that actually are from across the border, bringing bad things into our country. 1.00

00:44:00.080 The, the human trafficking, the toll it takes on women and children in particular is horrific.

00:44:07.200 I'm a doctor, you know, I'm a family physician seeing the fentanyl poisoning and seeing the, the,

00:44:14.720 just the, the sadness and the, um,

00:44:17.840 the terrible things that happen to families because of if they're not killed by fentanyl,

00:44:23.840 their lives are ruined by fentanyl. And, um, we have to stop it. You, we, we are the most welcoming

00:44:31.920 country to people that want to come here. We allow more people to come to the United States

00:44:37.680 than any other country, but we all know that everyone cannot come to the United States. 0.99

00:44:43.920 I think it's our job to export free market capitalism and freedom and the love of, of

00:44:50.960 each other to these other countries so that their boats can rise in their own countries.

00:44:55.840 Because when they come to the United States, many of them are not able to have a boat that rises 0.94

00:45:02.080 because they don't speak the language. They don't share the culture. They don't like the food that we 0.92

00:45:07.120 have. They aren't able to get jobs. They aren't able to take care of themselves and they end up being

00:45:12.000 dependent on the government, which is the worst place for anybody to be. I would rather see these

00:45:18.320 countries around the world grow, thrive and help their citizens to survive and thrive there rather

00:45:24.880 than here. Absolutely. And, and by the way, uh, this is at the design. This is the design to the Marxist

00:45:34.320 left Dems. Uh, that party wants them dependent, wants them, uh, dependent upon government. And by the way,

00:45:43.920 by extension, the Marxist Dem party for their welfare, for social safety nets. And, and by the way,

00:45:52.240 uh, the, all of the NGOs and, uh, not for profits that are bringing them here, giving them money and

00:45:59.040 supporting them, uh, through the, the good offices of George Soros or whichever billionaire or oligarch

00:46:05.920 you want to talk about American oligarch. Uh, it's, it's a messed up world right now when we have this

00:46:13.280 going on and we have a wide open border, despite all of the deadly drugs, all of the sex trafficking,

00:46:20.000 the human smuggling. It's disgusting. It's appalling that we have an entire party that is pro cartel, 0.98

00:46:27.840 pro deadly drugs, and don't give a damn about the deaths of over a hundred thousand Americans.

00:46:35.040 Fentanyl now is the number one cause of death. Folks, 18 to 45. If you're an American 18 to 45 right now,

00:46:43.760 the leading cause of death in your demographic is fentanyl. Think about that. That's insane that we

00:46:51.680 were to have this level of national, uh, poisoning being carried out by the Chinese and Mexico without

00:46:58.800 any response by this administration, even to defend the American people, let alone, uh, exact

00:47:05.840 retribution against these, uh, evil, uh, people in Mexico, the cartels, and in China, the CCP that 0.70

00:47:14.640 condones it all. Well, they definitely are terrorists and, and imagine I've heard Sheriff Mark 0.97

00:47:21.200 Lamb down from Pinal County. I think he's been on with you, Lou. If he hasn't, you need to get him on,

00:47:26.320 but he's talked about how, um, if 200,000 people were killed in a bombing, uh, of the United States,

00:47:34.720 there would be outrage. There would be demands to do something, but whenever 200,000 people in a very

00:47:41.120 short period of time are killed by the importation of fentanyl by China and Mexico, um, and nothing's

00:47:49.200 done, they just wring their hands and say, there's nothing that we can do. There are plenty of things

00:47:53.040 that we can do. We just don't have people at the top who are willing to do it either because they're

00:47:58.080 afraid or because they're complicit. Those are the only two choices. I want people, um, even in the

00:48:04.160 Democrat party. I would love to see the Biden administration. And I always put a quote around

00:48:08.880 administration because we don't know what those people are doing. We certainly know that Joe Biden

00:48:13.360 is not heading up anything, but I would love for them to have a spine and to put a stop to this

00:48:19.360 cartel violence, to put a stop to the deaths of Americans that could be stopped if we had a secure

00:48:24.800 border. And we actually followed the immigration laws that we currently have on the books. They're

00:48:30.480 always trying to find ways to skirt that so that more people can flood into this country, uh, legally 0.97

00:48:35.760 or illegally. And that's got, we've got to put a halt on that so we can get things under control

00:48:41.200 here on our side. Absolutely. And it's great to see a group of candidates, uh, MAGA America first

00:48:49.280 candidates, uh, Blake Masters, Abe Hamada, uh, uh, and Carrie Lake, uh, at the top of the,

00:48:56.720 the top of that list. Those are people I have to say, I'm impressed with all three. Uh, they've all

00:49:03.760 been well, except Blake Masters. He hasn't been on the show. Uh, they've been on the show and they

00:49:09.360 are impressive as they can be. I really think they'll make a difference. The average age of that 0.95

00:49:15.280 ticket with Blake, Lake and Abe, Blake, Lake and Abe is, is 39 years old. When you look at Abe Hamada,

00:49:23.120 he's 31, he served in the military. He's been a prosecutor in Maricopa County, the worst county

00:49:29.280 in Arizona, in my opinion. Um, he, he is fierce. He is fearless. Um, and he's ready to go on offense

00:49:36.640 on these things that are affecting our country. Blake Masters just turned 36, just last week,

00:49:42.320 36. Attorney has been done great things in the tech world and in the venture capital world,

00:49:48.400 has three amazing, cute little boys and a wonderful wife. They're homeschooling their boys

00:49:54.960 because they don't want that indoctrination of the public school of the government school.

00:50:00.960 They want education, not indoctrination. And then of course, the great Carrie Lake,

00:50:05.360 Carrie is a movement unto herself. And she was funny the other night, we were together at a rally just

00:50:11.600 before the primary election. And she said, remember when I called you and said, how do I run for office

00:50:17.840 and look where we are now? Yes. And we are strong. We are together. We are unified. We are, we are going

00:50:25.520 to take it to the left and we are going to save Arizona. Arizona is going to be the example for

00:50:31.600 America. And we're going to take this country back. Well, and you've got, you've got a very important

00:50:38.480 race coming up. That is the general election on November 8th. The, the turnout of the primaries,

00:50:44.560 does that carry forward? Do you believe to the general election? Yes, I definitely do. And, and one

00:50:50.880 of the things that, you know, the, the other side, the, the, the fake news and some of the establishment

00:50:56.960 type Republicans, they're trying to create this, this idea that independents are not with this ticket.

00:51:03.280 I will tell you that independents made up a big portion of the people who pulled a Republican

00:51:08.560 ballot and voted for Blake, Lake and Abe and Mark Fincham and Tom Horn and all of our candidates down

00:51:16.400 the, the, down the, the pipe. So independents are already with us. And even some Democrats,

00:51:22.880 these disenfranchised Democrats who somehow were brainwashed into voting for a brain less

00:51:29.040 so-called leader, Joe Biden, and his cackling cohort, Kamala, they are, they are coming to the 0.65

00:51:36.720 table. It's going to be a massive red tsunami. That doesn't mean anybody should take anything

00:51:42.560 for granted. Nobody can get complacent. Act as though we are behind by, by 10, by 15, by 20,

00:51:49.760 and work during this time between the primary and general to educate your neighbors, educate the

00:51:54.880 people at church, talk to people in line at the grocery store, and wake them up so that we do

00:52:02.400 put this country back on the right track. So this is, let's get to sort of the, the brass tacks of it

00:52:10.160 all. Right now, one of the reasons I want you to be the head of the RNC is because Ronna McDaniel

00:52:17.920 hasn't done a thing as far as I can detect anywhere to bolster the, the, the ground game.

00:52:24.160 She assured me in 2020 that they had it all put together. They had the lawyers in position.

00:52:29.360 They had the poll watchers. And by the way, then I started getting phone calls from Philadelphia and

00:52:35.440 from other places from attorneys who couldn't, were shoved out of polling stations all around the

00:52:42.400 country. It was, this has got to stop. The national Republican committee has to be more than a

00:52:50.000 fundraising group and a PR machine because the DNC as has its own skip, its own portal into the FBI

00:52:59.520 system for crying out loud. So they can exact punishment against Republicans, conservatives,

00:53:05.440 and anyone associated with Donald Trump. We've got to do better than that. And I, I want to ask you

00:53:12.880 this because it was a nail biter, as you well know, with Carrie Lake, who was up 10 points in every 1.00

00:53:18.640 single poll and had been from the outset of that race. And suddenly you think Katie Hobbs, secretary of

00:53:27.040 state, and she could have some considerable influence over the outcome of this election. I want to know

00:53:34.560 how confident you are in the integrity of the election in November.

00:53:39.760 Yes. Well, I mean, we always have to have eyes on the process. And, you know, the RNC can't just

00:53:46.400 give lip service. And they do do things, Lou, just so you know, a lot of people don't know. They do help

00:53:51.920 us here in Arizona to have a great field team that works directly with me as a state party. So the people

00:53:57.520 that come here, they have to be America first, or they have to be go to a different state. 0.89

00:54:02.480 Great. And so we've created a very, very good working relationship with the people

00:54:08.480 that are on the RNC side. But that doesn't mean that we take our marching orders from the RNC.

00:54:14.080 We have our own election integrity efforts. We've created an election integrity army,

00:54:19.840 azelectionprotection.com. So if anybody's in Arizona and wants to be a poll watcher,

00:54:24.880 an observer of the process and help us to make sure that the bureaucrats and the people who might want

00:54:30.640 to cheat, they know we've got eyes on the process. And it was great to see some of the things that we

00:54:36.800 did. In Pima County, the person that worked for the county elections department was training poll workers,

00:54:44.000 telling them incorrectly that they could give Republican ballots to Democrats when they came

00:54:50.320 in. Because we've seen across the country where these Democrats are crossing lines and voting in

00:54:55.920 the Republican primaries to try to get the candidates that they think will be easiest to beat. Well,

00:55:00.960 our poll observers saw that, sounded the alarm, and we were able to put the stop to that. So

00:55:08.080 Republicans got Republican ballots and Democrats got Democrat ballots only. Pinal County, disaster,

00:55:14.800 disaster. It's the third biggest county in Arizona. And remember, Arizona only has 15 counties.

00:55:21.760 Maricopa County is the biggest. It needs to be broken up. Rusty Bowers wouldn't even let that be

00:55:26.720 entertained this last session. It needs to be broken up. But Pinal County,

00:55:30.480 disaster during the election from before the election started with printing ballots that didn't

00:55:36.080 have the right people on them for the right voters to election day where they didn't have enough

00:55:41.440 Republican ballots at 14 polling places to allow Republicans to vote. That was Pinal County again,

00:55:48.400 right? Yes. Yes. But the power of the party, Rana joined with me and we put out a call that their

00:55:56.960 election director should resign. And the next day he did. And so I'm glad to have, you know,

00:56:02.720 the voice that I have here in Arizona and that Rana added whatever she could add to that effort. And we

00:56:08.160 were able to get that guy out so that come November, Pinal County voters are not disenfranchised.

00:56:15.360 Uh, every vote was that guy, a Republican voter. Um, was that appointed by the board of supervisors?

00:56:22.560 And I believe that he was a Democrat, but I might be wrong, but I, why would a conservative

00:56:28.160 board of supervisors? And those are like county commissioners appoint a Democrat to such an

00:56:32.800 important position. Um, now we've got the former recorder who stepped down from being the recorder. She 1.00

00:56:38.640 is a Republican has moved over to the position of election director, her assistant recorder,

00:56:43.840 who I have heard is just amazing. She is the best thing in that whole department has now become the

00:56:50.080 county recorder. So I think Pinal County it's safe to say is good is in good hands, good Republican

00:56:55.920 hands now and going forward, all legal voters will be able to cast a ballot. We're working very,

00:57:02.320 very hard to make sure that it's easy for legal voters to be able to vote and hard,

00:57:08.000 if not impossible to cheat. The Democrats want different. They want something different.

00:57:12.960 We've got an initiative that they've brought to the ballot. They call it the fair elections, um,

00:57:18.720 initiative. It has nothing to do with fair elections. It's all about power in Washington,

00:57:23.920 D.C., federalizing our elections, voting without voter ID, extending voting for three months of,

00:57:31.520 of having an election. It's ridiculous. It's got to be defeated. Got to be defeated. 0.87

00:57:35.600 I should know this. Do you have voter ID in Arizona? We do. We do, except with the mail-in

00:57:42.480 program. So with the mail-in program, as Trump said, it's the biggest place for fraud. As Republicans

00:57:48.960 and Democrats have said for decades, it is ripe and it is a place where fraud can occur. Because

00:57:54.080 the only ID that you have to have... So what are you doing about it? Well, it's the signature on the ballot.

00:57:58.800 And so we want voter ID even with that. I would love to see the legislature ad where you have to

00:58:06.240 send your, your, um, a copy of your ID in with your vote. I don't think there's anything at all wrong

00:58:13.120 with that. Verifying the signatures also needs to be codified across the state. Um, now in 15 counties,

00:58:21.680 the signatures can be verified in completely different ways. We need to get rid of drop boxes. I think

00:58:26.800 drop boxes are illegal. I've been suing to, um, to make that happen. I've joined with Carrie Lake and

00:58:33.200 Mark Fincham to demand paper ballots and one day voting across the board. Um, we've got to get mail-in

00:58:40.720 voting under control. The disappointment is that we have a Republican governor and we had Republican

00:58:46.880 Senate and a Republican house here in Arizona and every election integrity measure, almost every single

00:58:53.840 one of them was shot down. The good news is the people who shot them down, Rusty Bowers and, and

00:59:00.320 his cronies are now voted out. So this come January, 2023, this state is going in the right direction on

00:59:08.320 elections. Yeah. The problem is we got to get through this 2022 election to get there.

00:59:13.280 We do. And that's going to, I hope you've got watchers watching watchers because this is going

00:59:19.920 to be something, uh, Arizona has already shown us in 2020, what can happen. And I know that you've

00:59:26.080 done everything you can to, uh, to make it, uh, to fix it to the degree you can, but I even wrote a book,

00:59:33.280 Lou. I mean, I have a book called justified the story of America's audit. It tells everything that

00:59:37.760 happened before, during and after, as well as policies that we can put in place to restore

00:59:44.480 voter confidence and restore election integrity. I hope that people take that to heart by in the

00:59:50.480 next legislative session, but we will have eyes on the process here in November throughout early

00:59:55.440 voting and on election day. We are not going to let people cheat. We are going to stop it in,

01:00:00.480 in its tracks and, um, and we, we will have amazing elections. Well, God bless you. And for,

01:00:07.520 for everything that you're done and are doing, I, I've got to ask you, I going through the,

01:00:12.560 the list of counties, I noticed that, uh, Maricopa County has a different, uh, voting, uh, machine

01:00:20.960 company than, uh, most of the counties, uh, along with have a pie county, which, uh, has, uh, uh,

01:00:29.280 unison, uh, as their machines, uh, while everybody else is ES and S. Uh, why is there that

01:00:36.480 difference and how much influence does the secretary of state have over those, uh, choices on those

01:00:42.960 machines? Well, we, you, you probably know, am I allowed to say the name of the, the company?

01:00:48.960 Uh, I'm going to say it. Yes, this is America on this show. Thank you. Uh, Dominion, I have never

01:00:54.640 been a fan of Dominion. I put out a video about Dominion right after the election of 2020, exposing a

01:01:01.200 lot of, um, of the problems, big problems with Dominion. The counties have local autonomy and

01:01:09.600 local authority to purchase that information. But I will tell you the county that I live in,

01:01:14.080 Mojave County, the most conservative county in Arizona, and maybe the most conservative

01:01:19.280 in the whole United States, their supervisors, my friends, people that I know, they, when they

01:01:25.040 learned about Dominion, they said, this is not secure. This is not safe. We would never

01:01:29.200 use Dominion. Now, Dominion came in and I'm sure that Katie Hobbs had some input into that choice, 0.99

01:01:36.160 along with Adrian Fontes, who was the recorder in the past, who's running for secretary of state

01:01:41.840 right now, who wants to be in control of Arizona elections and can't be anywhere near that office.

01:01:47.840 They, um, I don't know what kind of rewards the, they were given, what kind of rewards and incentives

01:01:54.960 the board of supervisors was given. But I certainly know that the people of Arizona don't trust Dominion.

01:02:01.040 They don't trust the tabulators. They, and they don't trust the county, even though there are so

01:02:06.320 called Republicans that are on that board of supervisors. And as the recorder right now,

01:02:11.520 they've been apologists for Dominion and for the, the, the ridiculousness at Maricopa County in 2020

01:02:19.520 and beyond. And I'll tell you this, Lou, there's some other people that are going to be targets of

01:02:25.440 unelecting come 2024. Well, it's, it's, it's, it's good that you're taking on all of this. And I think

01:02:34.560 everyone's getting a sense though, listening to us, what you're up against and what you have to contend

01:02:42.000 with to deliver, uh, elections, uh, and the outcome, uh, that is fair and honest. Uh, and as the president

01:02:50.640 would say inversely, not rigged, uh, it's just, it is just a tough, tough time. And thank you for being

01:02:58.480 so smart and so tough and we wish you all the very best and look forward to talking to you here soon.

01:03:04.320 We always give our guests an opportunity, uh, for the last word, uh, the concluding thoughts to the show.

01:03:10.720 I, I hate to give up that last word, but here it is. It's yours. Well, from the time that I ran

01:03:20.000 against Senator John McCain way back in 2016, I've been put through the fire. I have been

01:03:26.800 drug around by the establishment and by the fake news. Um, and they, they expected that I was going

01:03:33.600 to retreat, but they actually honed me in that fire so that I could go on this fight at this time.

01:03:42.000 God puts you in the right place at the right time for the right reason. And as chairman of the Republican

01:03:47.040 Party of Arizona, I have been able to help our candidates to help our people to help our state

01:03:53.280 to get back on track. I want everybody to join with me in this effort. You can come and find out all

01:03:58.720 about just me, kellyward.com, Kelly with an I, because I care about the people or come on social

01:04:04.000 media, help amplify this message. Kelly Ward, a Z, um, Kelly with an I, Kelly with an I, and,

01:04:11.200 and together we will be able to save Arizona, save America. And yes, ultra, ultra make America great again.

01:04:21.600 Absolutely. A mission, a goal, an objective, uh, and an outcome that we just simply, we, we all share

01:04:31.760 and which we have to have in this, uh, this critically important year. Uh, there was also the group, uh, for

01:04:38.560 those who want to volunteer for the election. Uh, you said, I think AZ election protection, uh, could you

01:04:44.960 give us that URL? Yep. AZ election protection.com. And don't make the mistake of going to Arizona,

01:04:51.440 because the Democrats bought that. Um, and that's the enemy. AZ election protection.com. Join us.

01:04:58.480 Well, those communists to do that. I like AZ better for purposes of a URL. Uh, and, uh, the,

01:05:07.760 again, AZ election protection.com. Kelly, thanks for being with us. Uh, you're absolutely terrific.

01:05:16.320 We are deeply appreciative of both your time and all that you're doing for this great state of
