>> hello, scottsdale. whoa! you guys know how to show up. i love this. this is, i don't know, i lost count, may be our sixth event of the day, and you put everyone to shame today, and we've had big crowds. thank you so much. i love it. we've got the where's waldo up in the front, but it says where's katie? where is she? let me see who's in the back. wave your arms if you are way in the back. look at that. whoa. you know what? the media is not covering the real story. this isn't just a campaign. it is a movement, and we are going to save arizona. so, turn around and show the fake news who you are, who the people are, who want to save this state. [cheering]

i am so blown away by this turn out. everywhere we go, you guys give me so much hope, because i know that i'm not the only mama bear who's set up. how many mama bears in here are fed up? i'm sure we have some pop bears out there as well -- papa bears out there as well. you saw my bio. a lot of you may be welcomed me into your homes as i was covering the news. i never really shared my story. i was busy sharing the story of arizonans, i grew to love this state so much, like all of us. it's hard not to love arizona, right? when i walked away from my career, it never struck me to get into politics. really, for starters, i walked away from the fake news, to go into the swamp? are you kidding? but the good people of arizona, i don't know if i should love you or hate you, talked me into running for office. [applause] and i'm so glad that i did,

because what i'm seeing now is a movement of people who are ready to save our republic and save our state. i'm so glad to be in this fight with you. when they invited us to have this amazing event here, i thought maybe we could take the helicopter to the border on day one and get busy securing the border. i'm not a pilot, but i'd be happy to sit back there. we will keep an eye on what's happening, because day one, our one, -- hour one, we will issue a declaration of invasion at our border. we're going to stop the oh of -- flow of fentanyl that's pouring into arizona. i want to be known as the grand canyon state. i don't want to be known at the fentanyl pipeline state. we are going to take back control from the cartels that joe biden handed operational control to. that's right. we are done with bumbling biden.

he -- hey, listen, he is trying to destroy this country, and we are not going to let him take arizona down. no way. well, let's just vote these bastards out. about that? -- how about that? let's vote them out. i'm half joking, but i'm also have serious. i think we've done more events today than katie hobbs has done in the entirety of this campaign. where is katie? i'm sure you've all heard by now that she refuses to debate. i don't know about you, but i consider a debate a job interview. if you don't show up for the job interview, you don't get the job. and if she's afraid of lil old me, then how the heck is she going to go up against the terrorists on the border, the narco terrorists, and the cartels? how the heck is she going to fight for us? someone just said "she can't."

she's afraid, and we need someone who's a fighter right now. we have so many issues facing us. not just the border. we have to protect our babies and our kids. and i know -- i know that scottsdale was ground zero when it came to what they were teaching our -- i believe it's scottsdale where they started calling us domestic terrorists. is this where they labeled us? we mama bears are domestic terrorists. we haven't -- they haven't seen anything yet. we will not let them poison our children's minds anymore. when i'm governor, we will legislated if we have t -- we will legislate it if we have to. but we are not going to send our boys to school and have them coming home thinking they are girls. you can call me radical, and i'm not a science major or a biology major, but i know one thing is a fact. there are two genders.

and when we send our kiddos off to school, we want them to learn something, and that's what we are going to start doing. my education policy -- first of all, i'm so excited that we have esa for all, which is we are funding the students now. . how many moms and dads love that? it's called education freedom. it's freedom for our children. we can pick what school we want to send their kids to, and if they are teaching a bunch of garbage, we can take our kids out and bring them to another school. i'm going to be honest. i think that's the fastest way to turn these schools around. how many of you own a business here? raise your hand. if all of a sudden you are losing customers to your competition, you have to do a little soul-searching and self reflection and say what are we doing wrong and what are they doing right. i think this is the fastest way to get these schools to start teaching a curriculum that makes sense and actually educates our kids. i'm so excited about it. my kids are 18 and 19 now, but i

wish this would've been happening when my kids were in school. a dual track education. after 10th grade, you decide, your kids decide they want to go to the four-year college route, that's fine. or do they want trade school, trade skill training, vocational training, and career certification right there in high school? right there in high school. [applause] and i'll tell you what, that is music to the ears of industry leaders and business leaders, because they say we have great jobs, we don't have people ready for them. let's not let our kids flounder five and 10 years after high school. let's get them ready in high school, so they are ready for those big jobs. it's amazing. i'm going to date myself here a little bit. i'm sure there's a few people my age or older who remember when we used to do that. we had kids in my high school who got out of high school. they could be mechanics. they knew how to operate tools. they were ready for a job. we need to start doing that again. and if they decide later they

want to go to college, great, but they don't need that. we can get great, high-paying jobs for our kids right out of high school. we are going to work to make that happen. [applause] you're welcome. our kids are so precious. i just heard yesterday that the cdc is going to try to enforce this outrageous shock on our children in order to send them to school. that will never happen with governor kari lake. never. [applause] our children are not guinea pigs, and we are not going to have them forced and experimental -- force an experimental shot on our children in order for them to get an education. we will work with the legislature to make sure that never happens. [applause] you know, a lot of people wonder -- they scratch their head when i

came up with our homeless policy. it's not as bad as it is in l.a. here. it's not as bad as it is in san francisco and portland and seattle. i said, exactly. we don't want to get that bad. we have to address the chronic street homelessness. have you all noticed it's gotten worse? [applause] i'll tell you what. you go to these cities, these blue cities, they are all run by democrats with terrible policy. and these cities are hollowed out. nobody wants to live there. it's not safe. nobody wants to work there. you definitely don't want to have kids there, because it's a bunch of zombies walking on the streets. it's not compassionate how we are dealing with the homeless population. we are going to start by getting them off the street, encouraging them to get into treatment. we are going to provide treatment. we are going to use something called tough love. get into treatment or get moving, because we are not going to allow our street to be filled with people who are committing

crime on them. [applause] and i came up with this policy after talking to a mom. she said, kari, we moved into this neighborhood because there was a park down the street. we knew we would have kids someday. now we have kids and we can't enjoy the park because it's been overrun by homeless people. we need to get these people help. i don't believe for one second that god envisioned anyone of us to be living on the street with a needle in her arm, and we need -- in our arm, and we need to turn them into contributing citizens. that is compassion. [applause] but we also have to start showing some compassion the hard-working -- for the hard-working, taxpaying citizens who want safety on their streets and want their parks back. we will make sure we get people help, turn their lives around, lift them up, and restore quality of life for arizonans. if not impossible. it's not impossible. [applause]

so, i'm doing a debate on sunday. i am inviting katie hobbs to show up on sunday. i hope she will. i hope you will show up. did somebody say "chicken"? i didn't say that. somebody said it. we will find out if she will show up. it's her final chance to show up and show the people of arizona that she really does want the job. i want the job. you will be my boss. i will be working for you. we will fall -- solve the problems that we've had for far too long. i covered these problems for 27 years. i'm telling you, you would swear they were impossible to solve. they are not impossible. nothing is impossible when you have common sense ideas and you have the people behind you. we are going to make sure we turn this place around. [applause] so, i've got to tell you, we were really excited last night. we had a crowd maybe bigger last night in chandler, and we had

the most famous independent in the country, tulsi gabbard, join us, and she is endorsing me. [applause] we are at a point right now, and you know me, i'm republican, i'm hard-core. i love the republican party, the new republican party. it's about ideas that work. but we need to bring our independent friends over, and we have to work -- wake up some more democrats. used to be called the walkaway movement. now what we are seeing is a sprint away with your life. we have a real opportunity as democrats wake up to the nightmare policies of joe biden to bring them right on over to the republican party. what i'm asking you to do, you showed up here, and that's huge. i appreciate that so much. i know you are praying for me. that, i appreciate more than you will ever know. what i need you to do now -- because i know you will vote. convince your friends to vote.

talk to your neighbor, who you wouldn't have talked to three years ago because they were on the other. they might have woken up since then. talk about our policies. encourage them to go to karilake.com. we have great ideas for solving our water situation. we have great ideas when it comes to educating our kids, preventing you from getting forced to get a shot against your will. democrats don't want that either, i don't think. maybe katie hobbs does. [laughter] so, you should never have a boss force you to get an experimental shot, ever. we are going to stop this nonsense. we are going to fight for parents' rights. we are going to fight for parents' rights and make sure that we have a free arizona. i just talked to some people from new jersey. they flew down to meet me, and i was so pleased by that. they said, we wish you had someone -- we wish we had someone like you running in new jersey. we need good republican governors in all 50 states. i've been with this guy all day.

i love him before. i really love him now. governor glenn youngkin has been with me all day. he's been fantastic. [cheering and applause] if you're going to fall in love with this guy. he won against all odds. virginia looked like a lost cause, didn't it? and here comes this guy in a red vest. who the heck is this? and he wins. i'm going to tell you, one of my dear friends lives in virginia. she said, we love governor youngkin. he got our kids out of the masks. he got them back in school. we so appreciate him. he is the guy who is going to defeat the woke curriculum in schools. we need more governors like this. we have to elect republican governors all over this great country. that's how we turn it around. that's how we save this republic. you've all heard benjamin franklin when he was 81 said, you've got a republic, if you can keep it. we are in the if you can keep it part right now, folks.

i think every one of us, the very fact that we are here, we want to keep it, and we are willing to fight to keep it. so i want you to welcome one of the great fighters out there. i love this man so much. please welcome governor glenn youngkin. [cheering and applause] ♪ ♪ >> ♪ when i die and they lay me

to rest gonna go to the place that's the best when i lay me down to die goin' up to the spirit in the sky goin' up to the spirit in the sky (spirit in the sky) that's where i'm gonna go when i die (when i die) ♪ ♪ gov. youngkin: arizona! whoo! look at those people way back there. how about this? about your next governor, kari lake? [cheering and applause] i just want to thank everybody for coming out tonight, because, tonight, you are celebrating. tonight, this is what hope looks like. tonight, this is what the future of arizona looks like under the great leadership of your 24th g overnor, kari lake. [cheering] thank you for having me with you. i was flying here and i was thinking about all the great things about arizona. i don't have to reset my watch.

you guys are on the right of california. but the reality is, arizona is about grit. arizona is about getting it done. arizona is about never going back but only going forward. arizona is about electing kari lake. that's what it's about. it's about freedom. it's about liberty. it's about that spirit of arizona, that spirit of arizona that, it's connected to the spirit of virginia in an amazing way, the spirit of america. in the left liberal progressives are trying to stamp it out. that's what they are trying to do. they are trying to, all of a sudden, change all of the values that we hold dear. it happens like that. i watched it in my home state of virginia, and it happened like that. all of a sudden, single party rule. left liberal progressives tried to take the home of liberty, the

home of patrick henry, the home of george washington, the home of thomas jefferson, and turn it into california. that's what they tried to do. and let me tell you, we are not about to be california in the commonwealth of virginia. [cheering] going to walk with me -- go on a walk with me. we were in the pandemic. virginia was loctite, shut tight -- locked tight, shut tight. small businesses were closed. in bristol, tennessee, they were having a party. our schools were closed. our kids were told that a quality education was on a 12 inch screen. parents were told you don't have a right to know what's going on in the classroom. by the way, they were not teaching critical math and critical science and critical reading. they were teaching politics in the classroom. we woke up in virginia and said, enough.

enough. enough. friends. [applause] it can happen like that, because elections have consequences, and it's your turn. it's your turn to stand up, lock arms, and say not in arizona. we are going to elect kari lake. that's what we are going to do. [cheering and applause] you see, katie hobbs has a different view of the future of arizona. do you want your taxes to go up? no. do you want your schools to teach your children what to think and not how to think? >> no. gov. youngkin: katie hobbs does. do you want your law enforcement demeaned and demoralized? katie hobbs does. do you want the border to be wide open and fentanyl flowing into our country and our kids overdosing?

katie hobbs does. this is what she believes. and, friends, this is what we have to avoid. and i will repeat something that kari just said. you need a fighter, and you've got one. that's what you've got. [cheering and applause] you need a leader who's going to understand that she works for you. let me tell you, i think use it hire her. that's what i think -- i think you should hire her. that's what i think. she stands for low taxes. she stands for small business. she stands for your children. she knows that parents matter. she is standing up for law enforcement. she is going to protect your constitutional rights. that's what she's going to do. [cheering and applause] i mean. i mean, come on.

could it be any more clear? katie hobbs and joe biden, they are agents of chaos. everything they do makes things worse. i mean, we've got runaway inflation. no one can afford gas. you can't afford groceries. people are having to economize. what do they do? they pumped more reckless spending into the economy. we've got runaway crime, and as opposed to actually standing up for law enforcement, they protect the criminals who are doing the looting and killing the innocent. oh, by the way, we've got our children, who have suffered mightily in the classroom. mightily. the greatest learning loss that anybody can imagine. we've gone back 30 or 40 years for our kids. and what do they want to do? they want to empower the teachers unions. we want to empower parents. that's what we want to do. [cheering and applause] one of the things i love about kari is that her first job was

as a janitor. my first job was washing dishes and taking out trash. let me tell you, there's a lot of trash to be taken out. you see, is it any confusion why katie hobbs doesn't want to debate her? any confusion? they are on the wrong side of every single issue. we know what would happen if they were on the stage together. let's talk about inflation. winner, winner, kari lake. let's talk about crime. winner, kari lake. let's talk about schools. winner, kari lake. let's talk about how to get drugs off our streets. winner, kari lake. let's talk about our constitutional rights and who is going to protect them. winner, kari lake. let's talk about any of these topics that matter to arizonans. winner, kari lake. [cheering and applause] you see, it's about freedom and

liberty. it's about freedom and liberty. and i would humbly say, the great state of virginia, we know a little bit about freedom and liberty. the greatest words written in this hemisphere were written by a virginian. we hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal, and they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights and among them are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happyness. see, these are not rights that are granted to us by a king or by elites in washington or phoenix or richmond. these are rights that are given to us by an almighty god. friends. [applause] and we have to stand up and protect them. and that means it's time to do the work. you see, you have 20 days, 20 days until all of this is done.

20 days to deliver victory. 20 days to ensure the future of arizona. 20 days to make sure that your next governor is kari lake. [cheering and applause] by the way, the only way that happens is if all of you go do the work. all of you. listen, there is a red wave sweeping across the country. and yes, the headwaters of it where in the commonwealth of virginia last year where, not republicans, but virginians and americans stood up and said we believe in these shared common values. we believe that our best days are in front of us, not behind us. we believe that we will be that shining city on the hill. this is your time to do the work. you must do the work. what is the work? i will tell you what the work is. the work is, first, all of you need to get fully engaged. last year in virginia, we had 5000 volunteers at the polls.

5000. poll watchers, election workers watching what's going on. you must volunteer at the polls. you have to go get 10 friends and get them out to vote. write them down. not 10 that are here. they don't count. 10 more other ones. write their names down. call them on the phone, and say we have to go vote. call them the next day. if they haven't voted, pick them up and take them to go vote. we've got to get the vote out. every street should have a sign. every car should have a bumper sticker. every head should have a hat. every chest should have assured. because -- have a shirt. because the winning team is the winning team. elections have consequences. and that's the winning team right there. [cheering and applause] i mean, come on, you might as well go ahead and put on a red vest. [cheering and applause]

[cheering and applause] see. we are on the right side of all of the issues. we are the party, we are the party of strong families. we are the party of safe neighborhoods. we are the party of low taxes, low regulations. we are pro-business. we are the party of american-made products. that's what we are. [applause] we are the party of a strong national defense. peace through strength, not weakness through weakness. friends, we are the party of liberty and freedom and the bounding opportunity that is available to all americans when we embrace it. we are the party of teaching our

children how to think, not what to think. we are the party that knows that parents matter. that's where we are. so, it's your turn to do the work. it's your moment. it's your moment to lock arms and say this isn't about republicans and independents and democrat. this is about arizonans marching forward together and absolutely making sure that your future is one that you choose, as opposed to your government telling you what it is. this is the moment. [applause] so, are you up for it or not? come on. [cheering and applause] let's go win and let's all

celebrate on january 2, when kari lake is inaugurated as the 24th governor of the great state of arizona. god bless you. god bless arizona. god bless america. thank you. ♪ [captions copyright national cable satellite corp. 2022] [captioning performed by the national captioning institute, which is responsible for its caption content and accuracy. visit ncicap.org] ♪ >> ♪ zona. god bless you, god bless arizona, and god bless america. thank you. ♪
