Exclusive — Kari Lake: Failed ‘Bribe’ for Me to Stay Out of Politics Exactly Why I Needed to Run

Nick Gilbertson 3 Feb 2024

Arizona Republican Senate candidate Kari Lake told Sirius XM’s Breitbart News Saturday that the “bribe” to stay out of politics she rejected from “powerful people back East” served as a prime example of why she must run for Senate.  Lake, a former Fox 10 Phoenix anchor who is the leading republican Senate candidate in Arizona, joined host and Breitbart News Washington Bureau Chief Matthew Boyle for a 20-minute segment on Saturday’s program.  Boyle asked Lake to break down the bombshell recording from before she declared her candidacy, in which former Arizona GOP Chair Jeff DeWit seemed to imply a bribe offer from “powerful people” somewhere “back East.” DeWitt noted the people who wanted to “keep her out” were “willing to put their money where their mouth is in a big way.”......To Read More...

My Take - She's been criticized over the timing of this and how some find her claim she didn't really listen to the recording properly before this, and truthfully, I find that a bit silly also, but so what?  The question isn't whether or not the timing was appropriate.  The only question that needs asked and answered is whether or not it was true.  It was.  Finis!  

Here's more on Kari Lake, with My Take: 

First, we have these slanted stories about the Arizona Republicans booing Kari Lake:

Arizona Republicans Relentlessly Boo Kari Lake On Home Turf Following Scandal -The Arizona GOP crowd gave Lake a piece of their mind after audio showed the state's Republican party chair appearing to push her to stay out of politics.  Arizona Republicans let Kari Lake have it this weekend as they hurled boos and jeers her way at a state GOP meeting following a scandal involving her and the now-former head of the state’s party. The brutal reaction arrived following the resignation of Arizona GOP chairman Jeff DeWit after leaked audio appeared to show him pressing Lake, a Trump-endorsed election denier running for a U.S. Senate seat, to stay out of office.....

 Well, I wondered about that, but Andrea Widburg once again dug into that slanted reporting in her article:

Some boos notwithstanding, don’t write off Kari Lake yet - By Andrea Widurg January 30, 2024 -Around 36 hours ago, a shocking video emerged: Arizonans were booing Kari Lake, the hottest political star, not just in Arizona but in America (other than Donald Trump, of course). However, there’s a strong possibility that the video may have been a matter of the videographer’s proximity rather than a large-scale opposition to the Arizona political star.  The big news was that, on Saturday, when Kari Lake made her appearance at the state’s GOP gathering, she was greeted with boos. The excitement from political observers about this bit of news was palpable, especially from the left side of the aisle:.........I mention all of this because I heard from someone who was, as he said, “present, with voting privileges, Saturday when Kari Lake took the stage.” According to my correspondent:

In the Maricopa County contingent, I was seated very near the middle of the venue.  The roar of approval was so loud that it sounded enthusiastic and comprehensive.  We may have given her standing applause, but my memory is hazy since we did for several people who took the stage, but I think she was one.

I've said in the past she's formidable, and I wondered if these "booers" were representative of the McCainite leadership cabal, or was it the Republican base?  This article answers that, which I suspected.

No matter what's said, Kari Lake remains formidable! She's impressive, she's smart, gutsy, honest, she challenges the leftist media and beats them with directness, and she's what people are looking for.  Meghan McCain's laughter at any booing is a symptom of the sickness that permeates Republican leadership nationwide, and what normal people are sick and tired of.

Olivia Murray is a writer for American Thinker, and I think an excellent analyst.  She posted this commentary: AZGOP’s new chair took $15k per month from the taxpayers to ‘consult’ the state senate on securing elections, only to produce nothing, noting:

I hate to be the reliable cynic or the bearer of bad news, but… the Arizona GOP is still firmly under the control of the same Uniparty politics that controlled DeWit… so prepare yourself for more of the same from the Grand Canyon state come election time. This is only the tip of the iceberg with Swoboda, but see the post to X below from someone with a strong opinion about what happened...

Kari Lake was being booed for releasing a recording of the head of the Arizona GOP chairman Jeff DeWit attempting to bribe her to drop out of the Senate race, saying there were those from "out East" who didn't want her in Washington and they were willing to be generous, and he resigned, and she was criticized because she took so long to release it.  Okay...so what?  Did he attempt to bribe her?  Yes, he did!  Since it's true, does it matter when it was released?  So, now a new Chairman has been appointed, one she opposed, and when reading her history, she's going to be as big a problem as was DeWit, but Trump jumped in and endorsed her.  He should have followed her lead. But noooooo.....he butted in, and she played the good soldier, saluted and said "yes sir".

I really wonder at his endorsements.... a lot...and I'm convinced Trump is in dire need of a jury analyst as his personnel consultant.  Let the politicos make their recommendations, and then turn those names over to the jury analyst, and I'm betting most of them would be shown the door in short order.

MASSIVE Voter Discrepancy Found in 2022 Midterm Elections in Arizona

By J.D. Rucker • Jun. 27, 2023

Kari Lake and her team have spent the last seven months trying to expose enough of the massive, widespread voter fraud as possible from the 2022 election in Arizona. Officials claim she lost despite a plethora of irregularities found before, during, and after the election. Corporate media claims she’s just an “election denier” while refusing to report on the facts. Thus far, the corrupt judiciary has failed to allow justice to prevail despite mountains of evidence that call the 2022 election into question.  The foes are many of election integrity are numerous. They have deep pockets. They’re supported by the so-called “arbiters of truth” in media and the courts. But Lake continues to fight............To Read More....

The 2024 Reality TV Show to Blow Up Leftist Election Fraud

June 14, 2023 By Jay Valentine

We have written about how the data for the six swing states show enough sovereign voter fraud (the election commission is in on it) and phantoms to overcome any likely Trump vote majority. Accumulating events indicate that leftists may be helping Trump blow through their fraud firewall. In each swing state, there are from 200,000 to 400,000 phantom voters or addresses or both locked into the voter rolls.   Three years of volunteer election integrity work has done little to reduce these numbers.  While phantoms were found by the tens of thousands, few were removed.  Little has been done to thwart county or state officials augmenting voter roll data to help leftist candidates.

Trump is currently unlikely to win any swing state by enough votes to overcome the fake ballot stash each state's leftists and RINOs prepared against him...............Favor Trump or not, Trump created such a movement — MAGA, an emerging coalition likely to be the deciding entity for Republican candidates for years to come..............The downside: After Trump, America is back to the same insidious swamp creatures who will undo everything Trump cleaned up. ............

No person in history, certainly no candidate, ever dominated the media like Donald Trump.  Positive or negative, Trump owns the screen, and nobody can change that. He is not alone. Kari Lake and Tucker Carlson share the same qualities............Carlson is on his way to disrupting the entire cable news industry.........Kari Lake not only won the Arizona governor election; she likely won it by 5–7 points...............Institutional election fraud has limitations. Those limitations are quantifiable..........To Read More......

Why Kari Lake Couldn't Close the Deal

May 25, 2023 By Jay Valentine @ American Thinker

Editor's Note: I've not asked for, nor received permission to publish this great voter fraud piece.  If American Thinker or Jay Valentine object I will break it down into a link.  But I think this piece is so profound it needs as large a distribution as possible, and I would like to recommend viewing my RK 

The 2022 stolen Arizona governor's election is an ideal template for 2024 — and it is equally a mirror reflection, with all the moving parts, of 2020. 

This week, Kari Lake lost, again, in a court that wouldn't have given her a victory had 240,000 citizens signed affidavits saying their ballots were stolen and changed at gunpoint. 

The courtroom exhibits may not have swayed the jurists, but those signature mismatches showed plenty of evidence that Kari Lake's election was stolen by a lack of signature verification — and more.

Kari Lake's election is the template for important American elections from now on.

Lake is a massively charismatic MAGA candidate who politicos know has the legs to go the distance.  She handles the press like how a kindergarten teacher handles unruly kids — except the teacher doesn't make the kids look stupid.  Kari does.

Kari lost because she is naturally gifted and could upend established order.  The leftists pulled out all the stops — just like 2020 and, soon, 2024.

Her team's outstanding testimony in several court cases showed that elected officials changed printer settings, mostly in Republican areas, so printers would not process a ballot. 

Officials ran signatures through a nonexistent verification process, counting several hundred thousand ballots that were clearly sketchy.

Our team did the expert witness report on Kari Lake election data showing elected officials jacked with voter rolls days before the election — as in 22,000 new voters and 107,000 changes to the rolls, and thousands of address changes.  We suspect that those voter roll manipulations were not to help Kari.

This is the reality of important elections in America today. 

Ballot-harvesting is not the problem.  Signature verification is not the problem.  Jacking with the voter database days before the vote is not the problem.  Phantom voters — by the tens of thousands — are not the problem.  Election commissions allowing third parties real-time visibility to the voter cast ballot list to vote the recalcitrants is not the problem.  U.S. Postal Service employees gathering loose ballots for leftist groups is not the problem.

The problem is that leftists control the entire election apparatus in every swing state, and they have innumerable tools — like those just noted — to steal any election.  The Kari Lake election showed that the leftists will use all of them when needed.

The Kari Lake election is equally a template for 2024 because Lake's reaction is to take Arizona back by "chasing ballots."

That is the same strategy President Trump is employing — he calls it ballot-harvesting, being a bit looser with vocabulary.

Leftists are jumping for joy as Lake and Trump take the bait — outperform the pros at ballot-harvesting, when they have a dozen other ways to steal an election.  None of those ways is addressed by Lake or Trump.  They do not even understand them.

How about real-time, or close to it, snapshots of state voter rolls — especially around election time — to stop 33,000 ZIP codes from being changed the week mail-in ballots are sent out, then changed back?  Time series voter roll analysis exposes any change to a voter roll, which is later hidden when that change is reversed.

How about testing, real time, to stop 41,400 inactive voters from being changed to active, voted, then changed back again?

How about comparing the election rolls to the property tax rolls to make sure people residing in a vacant lot are flagged?  In Arizona, it's cool for someone to claim a street corner as his address — many thanks to years of RINO leadership.  How does the guy living on the street corner get a mail-in ballot?  It's not as if there is mail delivery to that tent on the corner in Phoenix. 

We're not done.

What about the real-time access to state election systems to count cast ballots illegally given to leftist organizations so they know exactly how many ballots they need to win — by just a little? 

What about tens of thousands of hidden secondary voter IDs, invisible to voters, electronically moved to counties where they are voted, then moved back?  They didn't vote; clever leftists took care of that civic duty for them.

How about the "contribution mules" making thousands of small donations, and when an intrepid reporter knocks on their door, they are amazed — since they didn't make the donations?  Anyone checking for that? 

Does anyone think for a moment that "chasing ballots" with the Kari Lake Excellent Adventure team is going to stop leftists from tampering — successfully — with an election?

Or is it perhaps the only strategy to employ when you don't know what else to do? 

How does one take on election fraud when it has so many layers, so many manifestations, that one cannot figure out where to start?  Sometimes any action is better than none — but do not confuse action with results. 

Important elections in swing states are manipulated by elected officials. 

Ballot-chasing won't change anything — it will just keep the troops busy until the next loss, followed by endless litigation.

These election fraud techniques share two characteristics: each is invisible to current technology, and each can be visualized and likely thwarted with real-time, high-speed database analysis.

Republicans don't embrace real time. 

The RNC, the Trump Campaign, the Lake Campaign continue to fail with batch computer systems using 1970s technology.

Once that was an opinion.  It is now fact, since our team offered the Arizona election integrity team real-time cross-searching of county voter rolls.  They demurred — each of the seven times we offered.  It was for free — we would do all the work; just give us the data.

After doing the expert witness report for the Lake Campaign, we saw that had real-time analysis been in place, for even a single county, Lake could have stopped the thousands of voter roll manipulations made days before the election.  Lake would have surprised the leftists.  The 17,000-vote difference was well within her reach — just not her grasp.

Instead, here we are.  Lake losing court case after court case.  Arizona likely lost for a decade or more.

Real-time visibility is disruptive.  It disrupts the bad guys because they can no longer hide in latent, wildly inaccurate databases like those in Arizona.  Everything they do, down to changing a comma, is immediately visible.

Real time is disruptive to the Trump and RNC data types with their 1970s SQL technology that could not possibly thwart these leftist tactics.  They can't implement real time because they don't know how. 

Real time is disruptive to the Republican election integrity types who hold seminars, gather donations, lose elections, file lawsuits, and gather more donations.  They offer those same 1970s ancient technologies.  It's all they know.

Perhaps instead of trying to "out-ballot-harvest" the professionals, it might make sense to out-compute them, stop their fraud apparatus in flight — something some of us know something about.

The Kari Lake Continuing Saga

By Rich Kozlovich

One thing has become clear.  Kari Lake isn't someone you want to tick off.  She's maintained the election for Governor of Arizona was stolen, and she's not backing down, and no one is going to intimidate her. So, here's the latest enjoy!

After Scoring HUGE AZ Supreme Court Victory, Dems Are Now Trying to Have Kari Lake Arrested, March 23, 2023 - Believe it or not, the AZ governors race is technically still not over. As a matter of fact, it’s heating back up, thanks to a huge court victory for Kari Lake. On Wedneday, Arizona’s State Supreme Court agreed with Kari Lake’s argument that lower courts made a mistake when they dismissed her challenge to the “signature verification process” during 2022 midterms....And this tremendous victory wouldn’t be possible if Kari Lake wasn’t such a relentless fighter.  After the controversial 2022 Arizona midterm election, which was tarnished by voting machine problems and ballot issues, Lake vowed to keep fighting..........Kari is the type of fighter the GOP needs, so of course, the Dems are doing whatever they can to stop her, including their new favorite go-to move: arrest..............

Kari Lake on the verge of conquering the hell that is election impropriety March 23, 2023 While many “shrink from the service of their country” one Arizonan in particular stands resolute, and shows me just how wrong I was to doubt her.............For context: Lake and her legal team alleged that under the direction of Democrat Adrian Fontes, the Maricopa County Recorder’s office failed to follow the law during the signature verification process for mail-in ballots. The overwhelming number of potentially problematic ballots has the possibility to alter the victor of the governor’s race, and if these ballots are in fact fraudulent or invalid, the installation of Katie Hobbs could transcend plausible speculation and become proven fact in a court of law. Watch Lake break down what she calls “just scratching the surface” below:.........

Why Judges Won’t Rule There Was Voter Disenfranchisement When it Happens to Republicans

Rachel Alexander Mar 06, 2023 As Arizona experiences a repeat of the 2020 election, where MAGA candidates allegedly lost to poor Democratic candidates like Katie Hobbs who refused to debate, some are turning on the MAGA candidates and blaming them instead of election fraud. 

The candidates’ lawsuits are predictably going nowhere, as judges throw them out for supposed “lack of evidence” or narrow technical reasons such as “lack of standing.” The judges pretend that witness testimony and affidavits don’t constitute evidence, but every first year law school student learns that of the 11 sections of the traditional Rules of Evidence in law, an entire section, section 6, is devoted to witness testimony. Witness testimony throughout history has been the smoking gun in many cases; defendants have gone to the death penalty based on witness testimony alone............

Lake’s appeal brief is one of the best in all of the election lawsuits, it should be a slam dunk.............But judges cannot rule in favor of election integrity when it helps Republicans because they are terrified of what the left will do to them and their careers...........The left will try to cancel, dox and harass them...........The left will urge businesses to cancel the justices, making it difficult for them to merely get by. ............To Read More....

Patrick Byrne Brilliantly Explains Why It’s Mathematically Impossible That Katie Hobbs Won Arizona

By J.D. Rucker Feb. 4, 2023 

It feels like the vast majority of America First patriots have given up any hope of correcting the various stolen 2022 elections, let alone the 2020 presidential election. Many have come to the conclusion that the system is simply too corrupt and not enough people with power or a voice are willing to risk being labeled “election deniers” in order to fight the good fight.  Overstock founder Patrick Byrne is one of the rare voices continuing to fight. Specifically, he recently came out with a short video explaining why it’s mathematically impossible that Democrat Katie Hobbs won the gubernatorial race in Arizona. Watch:.........To Read More....

Leftist Corruption and Insanity Has No Boundaries

Rich Kozlovich

In the past I've discussed the two trails story.  There are two trails leading through the jungle to get to a desired location. One is difficult, and requires cutting your way through heavy growth and uneven ground, takes longer, but if you go that way you will arrive safely.  

The other trail is easy, smooth and is quicker, but there's a problem with this trail.  You see, it's commonly known at the end of that trail is a pride of lions that jumps out killing and eating everyone who takes it, every time!  Yet we find over and over again people keep taking the easy trail refusing to do the work necessary to get the right result, completely ignoring history and reality.

This morning I published another one of Daniel Greenfield's excellent commentaries on the corruption of Israel's political left.  His commentary is about who really is behind this latest Muslim terrorist outrage murdering innocent people for political ends saying:

The attacks were launched less than a month after the new Israeli government was sworn in. The Netanyahu government has pledged to reform the leftist judiciary which enables terrorism......A generation of Israelis has grown up in a state of siege because the terrorists waging war on the country enjoy extensive foreign support from Iran, the EU, and the State Department in the United States, as well as domestic support from the Israeli Left, which uses its official and activist arms to undermine the fight against terrorism in every possible way...........The Left was able to legitimize the PLO and give it control of sizable parts of Israel by crippling previous efforts by conservative governments to defeat the terrorists and expel them from Israel...........What is going on in Israel is not just warfare, but a culture war between the democratic majority and an entrenched leftist elite that will use any means to protect its power and privilege............

The positions taken by these leftists are insane and clearly represent an existential threat to Israel, and yet they continue down that destructive trail.  Their reasoning is nonsense and their actions are suicidal, yet they keep going down the trail that leads to the lions.  Well, this pattern of leftist corruption is unending.  The left worldwide never plays by any rules, at least any rules they don't make up or can corrupt.  There are no boundaries to the left, so anything that will deter them from getting and holding power must be destroyed.  And that includes fair and honest elections, just like China, Russia, Cuba, Venezuela, or any other communist held country,

In Arizona Kari Lake has been adamant she lost for one reason and one reason only.  Voter fraud, and has been firm in her stand saying she's not giving up as they have the evidence, and the last court decision was clearly idiotic.  

Now it's come out there is massive evidence of wrongdoing in Maricopa County, which houses 60% of Arizona's population, so that's where the corruption must be the greatest in order for voter fraud to alter the election, and the courts have been allowing it to happen, and there's more than enough evidence the fraud she's claims happened, and according to this VIDEO – “Nearly 300,000 Ballots In 2022 Would FAIL Signature Verification.   how could this happen without a .....watch out now....watch out.....here is comes..... a conspiracy of massive proportions?  And if it is a conspiracy, it's a conspiracy to commit a crime.  So isn't that a RICO violation?  

The current and fraudulently elected governor who was the Attorney General threatened to file felony charges against anyone who refused to certify the fraudulent results of her being elected.  That's the pattern, and it's the card these leftists are going to keep playing.  

So, Lake has another hearing on February 1st with the Arizona Court of Appeals and these co-conspirators are terrified nothing is going to stop Lake from exposing this corruption.  So, the newly elected Attorney General, whose election is also being called into question, is trying to jail her on felony charges, for her exercising her Constitutional rights, claiming this is a form of intimidation to destroy election integrity.  Yet all she did was share information that is available and provable.  But to leftists truth is anathema.

Is this the vision of America's Founding Father's, or the vision of Karl Marx?  Marxism, just like that pride of lions, is deadly to freedom, individual rights, justice, the US Constitution, and represent a very real existential threat to America.  As the Canada Free Press states: Because without America, there is no free world. 

That's history, and that history is incontestable.

Round-Up: Election Night Follies

By Robyn Dolgin November 15, 2022

Kari Lake is one of the few GOP candidates who dares to question the integrity of the electoral process. She was not holding back her invective, as a gubernatorial candidate in Arizona, against the “irregularities and gross incompetence” in her state: Her constituents shared in her concerns about the fairness of the election owing to the flood of mail-in ballots and the “operational malfunction” of electoral machines in Maricopa County.

It’s only a secret to CNN (and its media counterparts) that her constituents do not trust the electoral process in their state. “They’re the people who showed up on election day,” she said in an interview with Tucker Carlson on Fox News. “They’re the people, 275,000 of them… who brought their ballot to polls on election day because they don’t trust the mail and they don’t trust the drop boxes.”.......To Read More...

Kari Lake Vows to Defy Biden With Her New “Interstate Border Patrol” Idea That’ll Circumvent Fed Regulations

by Sophie O’Hara January 8, 2022 

Well, it looks like Kari Lake, Trump’s pick for the next governor of Arizona, has just come up with a clever way to beat Biden at his own game and save America from peril. She’s come up with a way to solve the entire border crisis… and the first step is keeping Joe Biden out of it all together. Amen. Seriously, she’s got a plan called “Interstate Border Patrol” and it circumvents all federal regulations, and allows states to patrol the border as they see fit. Sounds like a perfect plan to me. Western Journal reported that Kari Lake’s plan for securing the southern border may very well shatter federal attempts to relax border enforcement. ......To Read More.....
