WHAT DO YOU THINK?

WELL, I THINK YOU'RE EXACTLY RIGHT, DAVID.

FIRST OF ALL, THE FACT THAT HAKEEM JEFFRIES WOULD INSINUATE THAT OUR COUNTRY IS EXCEPTIONAL ONLY BECAUSE PEOPLE CAME HERE ILLEGALLY, PEOPLE WITH A 65 AVERAGE IQ OR PEOPLE THAT COULDN'T MAKE IT IN THEIR OWN third world countries, so they came to ours.

The fact that he would insinuate that that's what makes our country exceptional is disrespectful to families like mine who came on the Mayflower, who have built such a beautiful country that these people want to come to illegally.

So shame on him.

The American way is one of hard work and building and freedom and all of that.

And the Democrats do not believe in this.

MEANWHILE, THIS ESTABLISHMENT WE'RE FIGHTING SOCIALISTS ON ONE SIDE AND WE'RE FIGHTING AN ESTABLISHMENT THAT WE FOUGHT SO HARD TO BEAT ON THE OTHER.

What was your message? And as you travel across Arizona talking to voters, what are they telling you is their number one concern heading into November?

Look, my message was, uh, I kinda talked about Paul Revere riding 20 miles and, and you know, and telling pe- the, the, the Americans that the English were coming.

Sybil Ludington riding 40 miles.

I talked about how far I went and how much President Trump is doing to share a message of freedom across this country.

And then I talked about, uh, John Peter Gabriel Muhlenberg, one of the Founding Fathers who, who was preaching in his, his church one day, and he said, "There's a time to preach, there's a time to pray, and there's a time to fri- fight." What I left out was he then takes his robe off, walks off the podium, and never preached again.

He had his uniform on and his guns, and he said to those people in that church, "If you do not become personally involved in protecting your liberties, you will have no liberties to protect." And then he walked out of the church, and men followed with him.

That's the type of energy we need now.

What happens to border security and immigration enforcement if Democrats take control of the House? How much damage could they do?

Yeah.

And they victimized not just an American citizen, they victimized a cop, a guy who was off-duty.

They went and just wanted to rob him.

They stabbed him and left him for dead.

Uh, this is the kind of to- nonsense you get, this crime along with so many other crimes, where we see Americans being victimized.

We've gotta stop it by starting to hold the people who create these policies that allow this behavior and allow these illegals to come into our country, hold them accountable.

That's when this stops, Dan.

Mm-hmm.

in these midterms.

This is exactly what they want.

They want more open borders.

They wanna dilute what it is to be an American.

They want amnesty for everybody.

This is the push that they're behind, and, and we cannot go backwards.

Americans, sometimes we have a short memory when it comes to certain things, and in this case, we cannot afford to have a short memory as it relates to the border because the atrocities, the, the trafficking of drugs, the death of Americans from fentanyl and other hard drugs that come into this country, and the trafficking of human beings, women and children.

Talk to us about that, the critical point, you getting in there with him and kicking out some of the RINOs that were in there, having people like yourself having his back, in particular on the border.

Right.

And this is exactly what they're doing.

They're taking taxpayer dollars from hardworking Americans, and not only are illegals getting our, our benefits that are designed for Americans, you actually have the government giving money that is tax dollars to these lawyers who are defending, or these groups that are defending people that are in this country illegally.

I w- voted for this.

I want people to be removed from this country-

Oh.

We have, you know, Nick Shirley going out there and righteously pointing out and showing just how much fraud there is, not just fraud of our government programs, which by the way, government officials and bureaucrats should be held accountable for allowing this fraud to happen.

But then you take that fraud, we have Social Security fraud, Medicare fraud.

I know I'm giving you a loaded question, but I'd love to get your response to both of those.

Well, it absolutely does concern me, Terrence, because we've got Congress, which isn't really working great in the first place.

But even if something does come out of there, let's hope that we hold the House.

This is an important piece, because if we don't hold the House, I would imagine that Congress under the Democrats, especially the DSA, because that's what more and more of this party has become.

the Democratic Socialist Party, that they would do everything they can to impeach President Trump.

Now, if we stay as the Republicans, we can't keep going down the same path where you send bills to the what should be a Republican Senate only for them to use the filibuster to hide behind because either A, they don't want to do what President Trump wants, Or B, they're so afraid of losing their fat cat positions up there in Washington, D.C., that they don't want to vote on some hard votes.

And frankly, the Save America Act wasn't even a hard vote, and they couldn't even come together for that vote.

How's it been going in terms of that district? Because it's been a little bit all over the place.

Yes.

And so it doesn't always look good.

There are tactics that I think police, because they're nervous about how the administration may view it or they're afraid they might get in trouble, they don't pr- they don't ...

They're not aggressive enough oftentimes.

And now I've s- after watching so many videos, I would say that the one thing I see that is common, and this is where people tend to get hurt, is when you're not aggressive enough in the beginning.

Look, you're not gonna hurt somebody.

Take control of it.

Yes

Okay

... to get a feel for it as we get into September.

It's been a little bit, you know, it's been, w- August is a weird month.

People go back to school, s- Congress is out of session.

And so now we get back into September and things are gonna pick up.

But this is to be a district that we should win by probably at least 10 points, and that's what we're, we're tracking right now.

But we'll have some better numbers in a few days.

What's the status of our control or stopping the cartels at the border?

Tell us what would happen.

Well, basically, Matt, what you're doing is you're saying you're OK with people breaking the law.

Not only that, you're OK with the cartels who have been abusing these folks, who have enslaved many of these folks into the human trafficking, sex trafficking, drug trafficking business.

This is one problem after another.

This is not that simple.

And the Democrats want to wave this away as if this problem didn't exist and that Joe Biden didn't throw gas on the problem.

There is only one solution that the American people want.

What are you saying to folks about how Republicans can bring down costs?

Expound on that for our listeners here at RAV on Eric Boulding's show.

And I'm so glad you brought that up.

Look, the rule of law is the backbone of America.

The family nucleus is one of them.

That's why socialism and the antithesis of God works against the family unit.

But the rule of law, they say in the Federalist Papers that if the men were angels, no government would be necessary.

What we need is a rule of law to be able to keep people free.

Did I summarize that pretty good for the author of Wango Tango?

Would they blame the car in that case?

Maybe our liberals would.

Look, it is ridiculously weak leadership to blame an inanimate object for something like this.

This is the byproduct of this socialist agenda that they have where they're undermining the rule of law where we're letting criminals out based on how they were brought up or the color of their skin.

This has to stop.

We have to have a strong rule of law if we're gonna be successful.

You can't blame the gun.

How dangerous is that final thought?

why.

It's part of the reason I ran for sheriff.

I think Obama was one of the biggest, I think he threw the most fuel on the fire.

Um, I don't know if you remember one of the cases I remember very distinctly was a case of a professor Gates.

A hundred percent.

And they threw the cops under the bus on that.

And I knew we were in trouble.

How did you come up with that idea? And why didn't you? Why are you different? Why didn't you shy away from social media and go, I don't want this attention on my department? Why did you do it opposite?

Give us kind of a status report on where MAGA sits within the broader body politic in Arizona.

You know, one of the things we do wrong and not to point out the wrong things, but we attack each other in the Republican Party.

We eat our own.

We don't have a lot of time to rehabilitate after a late primary and then a turnaround and ballots are dropping in October again already.

We've got to come and do a better job at standing against the Democrats and the socialist agenda that they continue to push in this country.

That's what we should be doing.

And Arizona is a red state.

So how do you make crime the voting issue for swing voters when they're predisposed to trust Republicans more in that space?

win the war on drugs, or are the drugs always going to win the war, in your opinion, Sheriff? Well, first of all, let

me use this anecdote.

You cannot mop the bathroom floor successfully until you turn off the tub water, you know? And so the first step is you've got to turn off the tub water.

What is that? You've got to secure the southern border.

And then you've got to secure it from drugs coming into this country as well.

Then you can start to deal with the addiction problems that many Americans have, in this country.

But we can't deal with the addiction problems as long as it's coming in here unfettered.

So what is the argument when the sovereign citizen gets pulled over and says, well, I should have a right to drive? What is that nonsense? Can you give us the cliff notes of it?

The United States Senate... unable so far to get it across the finish line maybe they've got a trick up their sleeve according to senator mike lee of utah but we'll see when you look at maricopa county when you look at the importance of having a an id and knowing that the people that are casting ballots are actually supposed to be doing that because they're legal citizens i mean we just saw what happened in new jersey where they claimed oh there's this never happens in america they've got 35 000 plus non-residents on their voter rolls what do you think the state of the voter rolls are in arizona

Well, first, let me start off with the Save America Act.

I mean, I just don't understand how this is even an issue.

80% of Americans, Black, white, Hispanic, Republicans, Democrats, they all think it's appropriate and common sense to ask somebody for an identification if you're going to vote in our elections.

We have had too much fraud, too many people in this country illegally, and Joe Biden led about 15 million plus more in, and now we're dealing with this problem.

Asking somebody to show an ID should not be even a conversation.

This should have passed flying colors.

Is that cowboy hat going to Washington?

We're still going to call you sheriff when you win.

We were joking.

And thank you, Dan.

And thank you to everybody who voted in Arizona.

And if you supported me in my campaign, thank you so much.

We're here today because so many people came together.

They want to see this country restored to common sense.

Fill us in.

How do you, uh, address the, the challenge of deporting, uh, not only criminals but terrorists as well as just people who've already overstayed their, their welcome here?

I'm gonna try to answer this as concise as possible because there's a lot to unpack in what you just said there.

First of all, I wanna say that President Trump and what he did, his executive orders when he came into office, started to have an impact even after the election before he even took office.

And then when he li- when he signed all those executive orders, we saw an immediate flip-flop in the border.

I believe that number under the Biden administration was about 15 million on a conservative figure.

Could've been much more, but I think conservatively you can say 15 million people came in.

But like you said, we'll never really truly know because our, our federal government failed the American people in doing their job.

Oh, yeah.

Am I wrong here, Mark?

Well, look, this is where the Constitution and state law can oftentimes clash.

This is why we gave our guides the right and the ability to understand the Constitution.

First and foremost, when they graduated, we give them a copy of the Constitution so they would understand free speech and where that free speech applies.

Now, what they're referring to, Dan, in our law in Arizona, it does say under disorderly conduct that if you use abusive or offensive language in a manner that would provoke a physical altercation, that's the key piece here.

Right.

Just because they were using that language doesn't mean that it constituted disorderly conduct.

How's the campaign going? And where do they go to learn more about your campaign, Mark?

They're stupid, and that's a fact.

You know why you don't use that? Because you understand that that can be incendiary.

What these guys are doing is they have put these ICE agents at a tremendous risk because they continue to talk openly in public and calling them the Gestapo and saying, "Hey, you should run from them." And all these different things that they encourage is what precipitates this kind of behavior, and then the ICE agents in the streets doing a very dangerous job that the American people asked them to do when they elected President Trump, they put them at risk when they are doing their job because these politicians can't seem to keep their mouth shut or understand-

When you break down what you've learned about this case in Maine, Sheriff, how do you assess it? What are you looking at so far?

Well, first of all, to the point of that congressman who made that idiotic statement saying that they wanted to go out and shoot somebody, this was just an excuse, that is ridiculous.

I don't know if you saw the video, Grant, of the agent standing off to the side, having, having to be consoled by another agent because he had just shot and taken the life of somebody.

So my heart goes out to him and my heart goes out to the family of the person who was, who was killed, but this wouldn't have happened, like you said, Grant, if they would've merely just complied with the commands that the l- the officers of law were giving them.

In th- p- in this particular case, ICE was giving him commands.

And that's a fact.

You know why you don't use that? Because you understand that that can be incendiary.

What these guys are doing is they have put these ICE agents at a tremendous risk because they continue to talk openly in public and calling them the Gestapo and saying, hey, you should run from them.

And all these different things that they encourage is what precipitates this kind of behavior.

And then the ICE agents in the streets doing a very dangerous job that the American people asked them to do when they elected President Trump.

They put them at risk when they are doing their job because these politicians can't seem to keep their mouth shut or understand that this is a necessary thing that has happened under other presidents like Obama and Clinton and Biden.

And it is happening still, but they just want to make an issue because President Trump is the president.

When you break down what you've learned about this case in Maine, Sheriff, how do you assess it? What are you looking at so far?

What's your assessment of this most recent case in Maine?

Look, as long as these people are continuing to run or try to elude these guys, you're gonna have these types of situations.

Nobody likes to see it.

There's no American that wants to see this type of shooting in our, on the streets of our cities or while our federal government is doing what they're supposed to do, which is remove people that are in this country illegally.

This is a sad situation, not just for the family that lost their loved one, but also, I th- I don't know if you've seen some of the videos, Matt, where there's another agent trying to con- console the agent who was involved in the shooting.

Here's what matters in the end, Matt.

What matters is did that agent feel like his life was in serious danger of physical injury or death? If that is what th- that's the bar that he has to meet, and it sounds like the guy was using his vehicle in a manner that would've led that agent to have that fear, and then in that case, deadly force is warranted.

How much of these interactions, uh, could be mitigated with good cooperation with local law enforcement, where the locals kind of keep some of, some of these troublemakers at bay and, and ICE can do their work?

But we need you there, man.

Well, I appreciate it.

And look, I feel the same way.

That's why I'm running for Congress, because we need more cowboy hats and belt buckles in Washington, D.C. We need more common sense.

We need more hard work.

We needed people looking out for the American people.

But, Donna, I'm so glad you brought this up, because I work—I've been helping a group called Vote for America, which is—I've been going all over the country speaking and doing podcasts about the importance of getting out and voting.

I mean, before you came on the air, we were talking and you mentioned that your roots go back to the Mayflower.

Walk me through what you think is the right, just and proper law enforcement approach to going after these fentanyl networks.

You take it off the street.

That's first and foremost.

Look, I just saw a video the other day from one of the agencies that we've worked with in the past.

They had found like six cans of Herdez salsa labeled as Herdez salsa.

They popped the tops on those cans and inside were stuffed full.

of fentanyl pills.

Walk us through how you've seen President Trump's policies really cut into some of their major profit centers.

Is it different?

It's been very different.

Look, I enjoyed being the sheriff.

I had a tough race.

You know, I had some real nasty guy run against me when I was running for sheriff the second time.

The Senate race was far less nasty than this congressional race.

To me, it's really surprising that somebody would not only put up a ton of their money, which may be dark money, but that they would try to destroy the character and the family of another person only because they want a political office.

And I don't think that you would take it very long.

Yes.

I have not been just, I'm not Johnny-come-lately.

I have been in this political field, and I've been in on it a national level, and I've been fighting for border security.

I've been fighting against COVID.

I have taken a national stance on mer- many issues, and this is what happens.

You know, you get in the crosshairs of people that don't want you in Washington, DC.

But the fact that the paper is attacking me should tell every Republican I'm exactly who they want in Congress, because they clearly don't want me there.

That's right.
