NewsTranscript
00:00I just relocated my whole family to Florida because what's happening in California I couldn't
00:20do to my children, what's happening in schools, indoctrinating my kids, the crime that is
00:24happening in my town of Huntington Beach.
00:26I ran for city council, I was mayor of Pro Temp Huntington Beach, I got the most votes
00:29in Huntington Beach history because of my conservative ideas of caring about my children,
00:33caring about the safety of my community, and the care and well-being of this country.
00:38I worked for Donald Trump back in 2005 on A Celebrity Apprentice, so I know what type
00:43of man he is.
00:44I fought his casino in, was it Jersey, back in 2000.
00:49I got an opportunity to meet him during The Celebrity Apprentice, he always loved me to
00:53answer.
00:54He answered every question I always had.
00:55He was a very outgoing man, I could see what type of patriot he was, what type of father
00:59he was, what type of businessman he was.
01:01When he ran for presidency in 2016, I put my name on it.
01:05I was like, I know this man, I know who he is, I know how he works in this country, needs
01:10a businessman to run in this country the right way.
01:14Carrie Lake actually ran for governor here, and at the time I supported her completely.
01:22We know what happened there, there were some bad things that happened and people deny it,
01:27I watched it, same thing happened to Trump, they're finding a way to cheat.
01:33It's harsh for us, but you know what, it makes us fight more, and we gotta fight more.
01:37And it's not just us that are here in this building today, it's you guys need to speak
01:40to your friends, your family members, everybody, and if you are on the Democratic side, or
01:46if you're on the Libertarian side, or you're a Republican, it doesn't matter anymore.
01:50This is about America.
01:51This is what's important.
01:53I've traveled the world through my career of being a professional fighter.
01:56I'm a blue-collar guy now, I own a business in Florida, a restaurant, so I understand
02:01if inflation is real.
02:03I've already paid 70% in the last 10 months of everything I buy, from alcohol to food
02:08to produce, and it's hard, and I can't imagine all the farmers, all the ranchers, everybody,
02:13how much they have to pay.
02:14I was just watching the news before I got in here, and I normally don't watch the news,
02:17but I'm in a hotel room, so you watch the lies, watch the propaganda.
02:21Of saying that they're going to tax cattle.
02:23I actually already started it, I believe, in Denmark, taxing $100 per cow because of
02:28gas.
02:29Well, farts.
02:30Okay.
02:31It doesn't make sense.
02:34But at the end of the day, us coming together and supporting Cary Lake is really, really
02:40important.
02:41Because my son is actually at Arizona State University, he's a criminal justice psychologist
02:44there.
02:45He's going on his third year, and I'm very thankful because my parents never put your
02:49education on for me.
02:50I had to pretty much learn the hard way of life, street smarts, on my own.
02:54You know, I was not really a great kid until I got into wrestling.
02:58My true name is Jacob.
02:59In the Bible, Jacob wrestled against the angel.
03:01The angel beat him and won him over, saved his life.
03:04I found wrestling, it saved my life.
03:06I got into mixed martial arts, and I became a world champion after a year and a half of
03:10competition.
03:11Once again, that goes through hard work and dedication of being a world champion.
03:14And my family, as I grew up, was a democratic family.
03:19They always wanted handouts.
03:21And to feel like you are taken from the government, that's not white life.
03:26That's not normal life.
03:27Normal life is working hard and chasing this American Dream.
03:30And I'm living proof that the American Dream is still alive.
03:32You know, back when Obama said that the American Dream was no longer alive, they want to victimize
03:38people, to make them dependent on the government.
03:40We're not like that.
03:42Americans aren't like that.
03:43We're a hard-working American that's going to make this country great.
03:46We have an opportunity.
03:47Thank you.
03:51We have an opportunity to speak our voices loud.
03:53We need to swamp this vote for our President Donald Trump.
03:57This is very important.
03:58And it just doesn't start there.
04:00It starts with people like Carrie Lake, her willingness to fight, like myself, and she's
04:04going to fight for us.
04:05In the Senate, because we take over the Senate and we have a House, we can get stuff done
04:09in this country a lot quicker and in a safe way for the future of our children, for the
04:13future of our safety, to protect our border, to make sure that border is not wide open.
04:17If you guys are close to the border, the closest I've ever been was Lake Charles, I believe.
04:23But just to see how open that border is, it's scary.
04:28I was watching the news, I said earlier tonight, and they said they only have 2,200 people
04:33that have crossed the border in the last two months.
04:35And this is the news.
04:37So once again, it's propaganda.
04:39It's a lie.
04:40It's a lie.
04:41And it's really hurtful, but I understand that the news is paid off by money, and they
04:46got to keep their jobs, so they'll tell you a lie after a lie after a lie.
04:49My mother's still a Democrat, and I try to tell her, Mom, this is fake news that they're
04:53telling.
04:54She's like, oh, you sound like Trump.
04:55I'm like, no, Mom.
04:56Watch that and then watch what's happening.
04:58She goes, well, maybe not.
05:00I'm like, well, I'm guessing, you're guessing, which maybe not.
05:03It's true.
05:04And I feel bad.
05:05I feel bad for a lot of people that do watch the news, because the Democratic Party is
05:09not the Democratic Party.
05:10It used to be in the old.
05:11Back when I grew up, it was watching Ronald Reagan saying, communism only a day away.
05:15Well, ladies and gentlemen, communism is here right now.
05:18And it's happening more and more every day.
05:20You give up a little, it'll take even more.
05:23After 2024, December 5th, if we don't speak up, there's no turning back the clocks.
05:28We need to vote and get Kerry Lincoln here in the Senate.
05:31We need to vote and get Donald Trump as president.
05:34And we need to make our country great again.
05:36We have an opportunity.
05:38And I can say, I have a father of three boys.
05:40I want them to have a great future.
05:42I want their friends to have a great future.
05:43I want this country to have a great future.
05:45And for us to chase this American dream again, it's really, really important.
05:49Without further ado, our next U.S. Senate for Arizona, Kerry Lincoln.
