Arizona Republican Party

[laughs]

Well, I did hear a rumor that the Arizona Republican Party just laid out over a million dollars for ad buys for Andy Biggs.

Is that true?

Ah, James, you know rumors.

Um, we're, you know, we're...

The ad buy we made is about one point seven million.

Of that, one point four came from the Arizona Republican Party through a political action committee contribution.

And I can tell you, James, that we've been proactively approaching PACs, and we made the case for investing in Arizona.

You see strength in Turning Point in, like I said, some fundraising numbers, but then you also see losses.

I think it's an organization that is figuring itself out in this you know transition moment and we'll see I I think um I predict they'll have some outsized influence because they have so much more funding than like the Arizona Republican Party the party itself right now and so we'll get to see what policy and rhetoric is coming out of that group because they are the ones with the money to get their message out there

Interesting.

So one more question I want to ask you guys about.

This is the first time we ever had one of those.

But the big question is, why did they schedule it on the same night that the NFL is back? We talked to the AZGOP chairperson about that, but the big question of the circus was this: would you go through Katie Hobbs to get to AOC? Don't give it any thought, just react.

And welcome to The Center Ring.

[laughs] [upbeat music] The Lindsey jurors are finally talking, and what they revealed inside their jury room proves America has a problem.

Or the week before.

You'd have had a much better response.

[clears throat] Coming up next, uh, we have, uh, Sergio Arellano [laughs] with AZGOP.

I'm not going there with him.

We've both been following the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting for a full year next week.

TPUSA is headquartered in Phoenix, and Arizona gets the bulk of their bigoted harassment campaigns, their influencers move out there, and the organization has largely absorbed the local Arizona Republican Party.

I follow all things far right in Arizona, so Turning Point USA takes up a lot of my research and mental capacity.

Kirk also part-time lived in Scottsdale, a horrific place, with his wife and kids.

We have Sergio Arellano.

He is the chairperson of the Arizona GOP in the central ring talking about this brewing scandal.

The House has now issued subpoenas.

What exactly are investigators hoping to uncover that the Attorney General either missed or chose not to pursue, Serge?

You have Peterson, Speaker of the Senate, or I should say President of the Senate, Warren Peterson, is challenging her.

It's getting very, very ugly for the Democrats.

And we appreciate, Sergio, you and the AZGOP staying on top of this.

Sergio Arellano.
