Yeah, it does seem that way.

I mean, we hear from Justin, you know, recorder Justin Heap, and he talks about that there might be some delays before the ballots went out.

And as you said, almost 2 million ballots went out.

But here's one of the interesting things.

It's as if somebody foresaw what was coming.

And what was that? Who was that somebody? It was President Trump when he did his executive order so that we can do the ballot tracking through the U.S.

Postal Service.

What exactly are you asking them to investigate?

Is any truth to that rumor or what's going on? And what is the GOP in Arizona doing to stop it, sir?

Hey, Mr. Bannon, thanks for having me on.

And yeah, I got a little baked out there in Bullhead City.

sitting out there for seven hours.

I look like Deadpool today.

I'm out peeling and crackling everywhere.

It's not a good look.

What's the GOP? What are you guys doing to make sure that we're too big to rig, that we can overwhelm people with a vote for the midterm, sir?

But who pushed back against it? The Democrats, the DNC, Chuck Schumer, and all the rest of the DNC and Democratic liberal organizations that wanted this to happen.

But I'd rather hear from you, somebody who really has their, you know, their nose to the ground.

Mr. Cuomo, come on.

We know what the fake news is and how they deal.

They wanna demoralize the Republicans.

They wanna demoralize our base.

We do have a voter registration advantage, and all they're gonna try to do is come out with fake news.

Look, our inner pollings show Andy Biggs within three points, striking distance, which is margin of error.

Describe the electricity in that crowd, especially for President Trump.

What are you hearing from other veterans across Arizona, particularly Vietnam vets? Is this registering as just a politics to them, or is there still real anger attached to Jane Fonda's name?

You know, James, this is one part that isn't funny to me.

I went to war wearing the uniform of the United States Army, but I came home to people thanking me for my service.

Vietnam veterans didn't get that America.

A lot of these guys that came home carrying things most of us will never understand and then had to watch their own country turn its anger over the war against them who were sent to fight it.

So when I see James Bond is sitting at that North Vietnamese anti-aircraft gun while Americans are still fighting, it hits different.

And I'm not going to tell a Vietnam vet how he's supposed to feel about that.

Why shouldn't bitches move on?

But yes.

Uh, but here is-- I know, against the Cardinals.

Come on, get out of here.

Um, [laughs] there...

Let me tell you this.

Uh, the second night for me was huge.

It was humongous.

Is that true?

But yes.

Yep.

Uh, but here is...

I know, against the Cardinals.

Come on, get out of here.

Um, [laughs] there...

Let me tell you this.

Is that true?

Or are they, Sergio?

James C. Harris from the ground here at the convention.

It's great to be back on the show.

Thanks for the question.

Look, Republicans are right to ask where the ads are.

Katie Hobbs has spent more than 10 million on television, and I hear the frustration.

But Republicans are communicating digitally and more advertising is coming.

[laughs]

Did he give you guys any tips for maintaining control of the House this cycle, Sergio?

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

Look, all we're asking for as Republicans, release the transcripts.

You know, there is something there.

Everything is seemingly swept under the rug, nothing to see there.

I think you have proof that you have senior DCS people describing all the political influence.

You've got people scared that they could lose their jobs.

You got contradictory testimony.

Is this the October surprise, even though it's late August, last day of August? Is this the October surprise we've all been waiting for, or are more shoes going to drop?

Where do Arizona's Republican candidates actually stand right now? And specifically, is it true that Katie Hobbs continues to struggle to get much beyond the mid 40s against Andy Biggs?

James T. Harris, good morning.

Glad to be on the show.

Of course, we're watching closely, day in, day out.

I got my crew hating me because they can't get a single hour of sleep without me bugging them about what's happening.

We have our own in-house pollster that we use, Staff Analytics, and we study the electorate.

And our latest numbers show Katie Hobbs at 43%, Andy Biggs at 38%.

Are you seeing any evidence that this effort to demoralize Republican voters is actually working?

But other than that, what's going on?

James, that's the million dollar question.

Where the heck is Katie Hobbs? Lieutenant governor seems like every other candidate figured this out.

The Republican party, the green party, no labels.

They all followed the spirit of the law.

They all told Arizona voters would be standing next to them.

Katie Hobbs has it.

How big of a deal is it that if it's true that many people were asked, but people didn't want to be lieutenant governor? How big of a deal is it if John Giles did back out of this? What does it mean for Katie Hobbs and her campaign?

What does that tell you as the new chairman? What needs to change? And do you believe the candidates that are up now are capable of making the change necessary to win some or all of these seats?

I think it begins with leadership, right? For years, the Republican Party put its thumb on the scales during primary election cycles and then step back during the general and let people work it out and figure it out.

Well, the state party has also traditionally misspent funds where it shouldn't have gone, in my opinion.

Now, moving forward, I can tell you that we are very united.

I think the division within the party has been our biggest issue.

And right now we are echoing the same sentiment, rowing in the same direction.

And I think we all agree that what's best is this platform.

Do you really believe that the Republicans can kind of bury the hatchet on a number of things and be unified in this November?

As far as our choices, the choices that Republicans made last night to represent us going forward, how do you see it? Where is the energy when it comes to the governor's race? What is it going to take to get Andy Biggs in the office?

You know, one thing that people should note is how disciplined Andy Biggs is.

He has not gone out of context.

He's been very methodical in his approach on this election.

You know, people try to come out and say he's anti McCain and he's a hater and he's a bomb thrower, but he reveals that he worked and collaborated with McCain.

So there are good relationships and precedent set forth by Andy.

And he's also interested in what matters to us.

Are you getting the sense that national Republicans see Arizona as a state worth investing heavily in this fall?

Now, Sheriff Mark Lamb, he won, right? And Congressional District 5, Trump endorsed too.

Yes, it shows you that the party belongs to Trump still.

Our president has an agenda.

The people are speaking that they want Trump's agenda still, and we're all excited about it.

I think that The influence that the president has on the ground has not waned.

I think because it is a midterm, we see lower turnout than we do on a presidential, but we're trending right.

We're trending properly.

And how significant would it be if it turns out to be a Republican by the name of Andy Biggs?

We compete.

I'm telling you, we need an okay corral in New York as well.

We do.

We do.

Well, hey, so today, Arizona Republicans, we're going to elect a solid slate to go up against the socialist machine we have in Arizona right now, especially under the leadership of Governor Katie Hobbs, right? So the voters in the Republican primary, we have all these great choices and I have faith that we will be going into November with a group of candidates and Republicans, uh, that independence and Democrats that aren't insane will support, you know, at the top of the ticket, you have Andy bigs in a primary with David Schweikert.

Uh, Andy is projected to be the winner, but obviously anything can happen in an election.

And so we're basically gearing up here in the state party.

What are the likelihood that the party will come together behind the nominee so that we can, in fact, win this very important election and put ourselves in position to win back those seats that we've lost in Arizona?

We compete.
