you make a grown man cry you make a grown man cry ♪ ♪ >> hello, scottsdale. [cheers and applause] you guys know how to show up. i lost count at our sixth event of the day and you guys put everyone to shave -- shame

today. we have a big crowd. they cue so much. i love it, we got the where's waldo appear in the front but it says, where's katie. where is she? alright, let me see who's in the back, i want to see how far this goes. wave your arms if you are way in the back. look at that. the media is not covering the real story. this isn't just a campaign, it is a movement, and we will save arizona. so turnaround and show the fake news who you are, who the people are who want to save this date. i am so blown away by this turn out, everywhere we go, you guys give me somatotropin because i know that i'm not the only mama bear who's fed up. how many mama bears in here are fed up? had i'm sure we got some poppa bears out there as well. you saw my bio, a lot of you

welcomed me into your home over the years when i was covering the news and i thank you for that. i never really shared a whole lot about my story over the time that i was on the news, i was busy sharing the story of arizonans, and i grew to love the state so much like all of us. it's hard not to cover arizona. it's hard not to get into politics. i will walk away from the fake news and go wave -- go to the swamp, are you kidding? the people of arizona, i don't know if i should love you or hate you, talk me into running for politics, running for office. 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 and i'm so glad to be in this fight with you. so when the dillons invited us to have this amazing event and i saw this helicopter and thought,

maybe we could take that to the border on day one and get busy securing the border, i'm not a pilot, but i would be happy to sit back there. day one, our one, we will call it what it is, issue a declaration of invasion at our border. we will stop the flow of fentanyl pouring in arizona. i want to be known as the grand canyon state, i don't want to be known as the fentanyl pipeline state. we will take that control from the cartels that joe biden handed over operation of control two. we are done with bumbling biden. hey, listen, he's trying to destroy this country and we won't let them take arizona down. no way. let's just vote these pastors out, how about that? let's vote them out.

i'm half joking, but i'm also have serious. i think we've done more today than katie haas 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 it a debate a job interview. if you don't show up for the job interview, you don't get the job. she's afraid of little old me, how will she go up against terrorists on the border, the narco terrorists are 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. we have so many issues facing us, not just the border, we've got to protect our babies and our kids. and i know that scottsdale was at ground zero when it came to

what they were teaching or education. scottsdale's when they started calling us domestic terrorists. is this where they labeled us? we mama bears are domestic terrorists, will they haven't seen anything yet. we won't let them poison our children's mind anymore. and when i'm governor, if we have to legislate it, we will. we won't send our boys after school and have them coming home thinking they are girls. you can call me radical and i'm not a science major or about lola g major, but i know one thing is a fact, there are two majors. and we send our kiddos off to school, we want them to learn something. first of all, i'm so excited that we have esa for all, we are funding students. how money moms and dads love that? it's called education freedom. it's freedom for our children.

we could pick what school we want to send our kids to and if they are teaching a bunch of garbage, we could take our kids out and bring them to another school. i will 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. one of my big policies that i'm so excited about, my kids are 18 and 19 now, but i wish this would happen when my kids are in school is a dual track education. after 10th grade, your kids decide they want to go to four-year college, that's fine, or do they want trade skill training, vocational training and career certification right

there in high school? right there in high school. and i will tell you, 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 floundered by 10 years after high school, let's get them ready in high school so they are ready for those big jobs. i'm going to date myself a little bit, i'm sure there's a few people my age or older who remembers when we used to do that. we had kids in my high school who got at a high school, they could be mechanics, they knew how to operate tools, they were ready for a job and we need to do 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 and we will work to make that happen. [applause] kari: you're welcome. our kids are so precious, i just heard yesterday that the cdc is

going to try to enforce this outrageous shot on our children. that will never happen with governor kari lake. our children are not -- it will never happen, we will work with the legislation and make sure that never happens. a lot of people wondered and scratch their heads when they came up with the homeless policy and said, it's not as bad as it is an l.a. here, it's not as bad as it is in san francisco and portland and seattle, and i said, exactly, we don't wanted to get that bad, we have to address the chronic street homelessness. have you all noticed it has gotten worse.

i'll tell you what, you go to these cities, these blue cities and they are all run by democrats were terrible policies in these cities are hollowed out cities. it's not safe, nobody wants to work there, you don't want kids there because it's a bunch of zombies walking on the street. it's not compassionate how we are dealing with the homeless population and we will start by getting them off the street, encouraging them to get into treatment and we will try something called tough love. get into treatment or get moving because we won't allow our streets to be filled with people who are committing crime on them. [applause] kari: and i came up with this policy after talking to a mom, she said, 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 our arm. and we need to help lift these people up and get them help and turn them into contributing citizens. that is compassion. but we also have to show compassion for the hard-working, taxpaying citizens who want safety on the streets. we will get people help, turn their lives around, lift them up, and restore quality of life or arizonans. it's not impossible, it's not impossible. so, i'm doing a debate on sunday, i'm inviting katie to show up on sunday, i hope she will, i hope you will show up. semi said chicken, i didn't say that, somebody said it. but we are going to 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 solve the problems that we've had for far too long. i covered these problems for 27 years, and i'm telling you, you'd 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 will make sure we turn this place around. we were really excited last night, we had a crowd last night and we had the most famous independent in the country, tulsi gabbard joins us in she is endorsing me. we are at a point right now -- and you know me, i'm republican, i'm hard-core. i love the new republican party, it's about ideas that were, but we need to bring our independent

over and wake up to more democrats. it used to be called the walkaway movement, did you hear that? now we are seeing 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. so, what i'm asking you to do, you showed up here, that's huge. i appreciate that. i know you are praying for me. that i appreciate more than you will know. what i need you to do now, because i know you will although, right? i need you to convince your friends to vote, make sure they bow and talk to the neighbor who may be three years ago you wouldn't have broached politics with because they were on the others. they might have woken up since then. talk about our policies, encourage them to go to kari lake.com, see where i stand on the policies. you have great ideas for solving the water situation and great ideas when it comes to educating our kids, preventing you from

being forced to get a shot against your will. democrats don't want that either, i don't think, maybe katie house does. you should never have a boss force you to get an experimental shot, ever, and we will stop this nonsense and we will fight for parents rights, we will 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 that i wish we had something like that. we need good, republican governors in all 50 states. i'm so honored tonight that i've been with this guy all day, i loved it before, i really love them now, governor glenn youngkin has been with me and he's been fantastic.

you will absolutely follow him over the sky. we all love him because he won against all odds. fridge and you looked like a lost cause, didn't it? here comes this guy in the red vest, who is this, and he wins. one of my dear friends in virginia says, we love governor youngkin, he got our kids out of the masks and got them back in school. we so appreciate him. he is the guy that will defeat the woke curriculum in schools. we need more governors like this so we have to elect republican governors all over this great country, that's how we turn it around and save this republic. you've all heard benjamin franklin say, you've got a republic, if you can keep it. we are in the if you can keep apart right now. and i think everyone of us, the very fact that we are here, we want to keep it and we are willing to fight to keep it. i want you to welcome one of the great fighters out there, i love this man so much, please welcome governor glenn youngkin. [applause] ♪

>> ♪ going off to the spirit in the sky ♪ ♪ gov. youngkin: arizona, look at those people way back there.

how about your next governor, kari lake. 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 governor, kari lake. thank you for having me with you . i was flying here and i was to get 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 is connected to the spirit of virginia and an amazing way, the spirit of america in the left liberal progressives are trying to stamp it out. 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, the left, liberal progressive 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. we are not about to be california and the commonwealth of virginia. go on a walk with me.

we were in the pandemic, virginia was locked tight, shut tight. small businesses were shutting left and right. in bristol, virginia, businesses were close, 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 already have a right to know what's going on in the classroom. by the way, they weren't 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. 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. [applause] gov. youngkin: you see, katie hobbs has a different view of the future of arizona. do you what your taxes to go up? katie hobbs does. do you want your schools to teach your children what to think and not how to think? katie hobbs does. do you want your law enforcement to demean and demoralize? katie hobbs does. do you want the border to be wide open and fentanyl flowing into our country? katie hobbs does. this is what she believes. and friends, this is what we have to avoid, and i will repeat something that kari lake just said, you need a fighter and you got one. that's what you've got.

you need a leader that is going to understand that she works for you and let me tell you, i think you 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 standing up for law enforcement, and she's going to protect your constitutional rights, that's what she's going to do. come on, could it be any more clear? katie hobbs and joe biden are agents of chaos. everything they do makes things worse. we've got runaway inflation, no one can afford gas, you can afford groceries, people who have and economize, what are they do, they pump more spending

into the economy. we've got runaway crime. as opposed to actually standing up for law enforcement, they protect the criminals that are doing the looting and killing the innocent. by the way, we've got our children who have suffered mightily in the classroom, mightily, the greatest learning laws that anybody could 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. [applause] gov. youngkin: one of the things i love about kari lake is that her first job was as a janitor, my first job was washing dishes and taking out trash. 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 issue. we know what we would happen if they were on the stage together. let's talk about inflation, winter, winter, 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. this talk about our constitutional rights and who will protect them, winner, kari lake. let's talk about any of the topics that matter to arizona, winner, kari lake. you see, it's about freedom and liberty. it's about freedom and liberty and i humbly say in the great state of virginia we know little bit about how 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 that among them are, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. these are not rights that are granted to us by a king or by elites in washington or in phoenix or in richmond, these are rights that are given to us by an almighty god. friends. and we have to stand up and protect them. 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.

by the way, the only way that happens is if all of you go do the work. all of you, there is a red wave sweeping across this country. yes, the headwaters were in the commonwealth of virginia last year were not republicans, but virginians and americans stood up and said we believe in the shared common values, we believe that our best days are in front of us, not behind us. we believe 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 with 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. second, you have to go get 10 friends and get them out to vote. 10 friends, write them down, not 10 that are here, they don't

count. 10 more. write their names down, call them on the phone and say, we have to go vote. and if they haven't voted, pick them up in your car and take them to go vote. you've got to get the vote out. every street should have a sign, every car should have a bumper sticker, every pen should have a hat, every chest should have a shirt. the winning team is the elected team. elections have consequences and that is the winning team right there. right there. come on, you might as well go ahead and put on a red vest. you see, we are in the right

side of all of the issues. we are the party, we are the party of families, we are the party of safe neighborhoods, the party of low taxes, regulations, we are the party of american-made products. that's what we are. we are the party of a strong national defense, peace through street, not weakness through weakness. we are the party of liberty and freedom and the unveiling 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,

to lock arms and say, this isn't about republicans and independents and democrats, this is about arizonans marching 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. so are you up for it or not? come on. let's go win and let's all celebrate on january the second when kari lake is inaugurated as the 24th governor of the great state of arizona. god bless you, god bless arizona, and god bless america. thank you. ♪
