Kari Lake: Arizona is 'DRAGGING OUT' election results, but CAN'T stop her victory

With hundreds of thousands of votes left to count in Arizona, gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake joins the Glenn Beck Program to explain why she's "100% confident" that she will win. Lake gives her thoughts on why the ballot counting has been so slow, why that's "embarrassing" for Arizona, and whether Republican candidate for senator Blake Masters will also win his election.

GLENN: Kari, welcome to the program.

KARI: Hey, how are you, Glenn? Good to talk to you this morning.

GLENN: I'm trying to figure out, if I can let myself be happy about your victory.

KARI: Let me help you be happy, how is that?

GLENN: Good. Do it. Do it.

KARI: Well, first of all, you know, I think what we've learned in our past several election cycles, is that our election officials can control the narrative.

It's real easy, by the amount of votes they release. By the amount of results they release. And that's what we have going on here. It's become politicized. We're going to win. I'm 100 percent confident at that. I'm looking right now at the latest numbers I got, and there are 621 -- a little -- almost 622,000 votes left to be counted here in Arizona. And they're slow rolling to count. Twenty-four hours more, than 24 hours past the election. Yesterday, they only counted less than 60,000 votes.

This is outrageous. They're doing this intentionally, in my opinion. They're not speeding this up, as they should.

There are -- let me just tell you why we should win. 384,414 Election Day mail-in ballot drop-offs. Now, these are the people who don't trust bringing it down and putting it down in these drop boxes.

These are the people who don't necessarily trust even the Postal Service, with their ballots. They walked it into a polling place on Election Day.

We already know those will trend heavily toward us. Two to one. Maybe even three to one.

And there's a huge majority left to be counted there. We also have 17,000 drawer three. Those were the ones, when they showed up at their polling place, on Election Day, oh, wow. The machines aren't working. Just put your ballot over here, in drawer number three.

And we have a provisional ballot -- 16,000 -- these are ballots, the vast majority, that are to be counted, that will go heavily to us.

And we know we will win this. They're trying to delay the inevitable. And they're really embarrassing Arizona, once again. On just a national stage. But a global stage. They wanted to write the obituary of the America first movement, on election night.

And the America first movement is alive and well. They haven't taken anything away from this movement. We are still strong. And we are still going to win and continue to fight for America first ideas.

GLENN: If you have those kinds of numbers still yet to come. And they do indeed fall like that, there is a good chance that we have a senator from Arizona, as well.

KARI: I do believe, that these could push Blake over the top. I really do. I talked to Blake yesterday. He's in pretty good spirits. He's a little bit closer than I am. Mine will definitely fall, and I think we could end up with a very nice victory.

GLENN: Uh-huh.

KARI: His would be a little bit more of a squeaker. But I think they're going to go his direction.

When you look at 384,000 votes that are people who dropped them off on Election Day, I mean, there is a chance we could get 80 percent or more of those, if we want to be very conservative, we'll get you know two out of --

GLENN: 50 percent.

KARI: More than 50 percent. And so, the ballots that are left to be counted, and there's a lot of them.

Like I said, 622,000 ballots left to be counted. They're going to skew heavily in our favor. And I'm only down by a few thousand votes right now.

GLENN: So -- so people understand, and the rest of the country, Arizona. Arizona does it the reverse way. Than everybody else does. Everybody else counts the night.

And then they count the other ballots, that are coming in. Arizona, for some reason, counts the -- the preelection night ballots. And then counts the day, right?

And then the day ballots.

KARI: Uh-huh, yep. And they dragged their feet doing this. This is the same thing they did in the primary, Glenn.

GLENN: What is their reasoning to do that? Why do you think they would do that?

KARI: Well, you're asking me to get into the head of a man named Steven Richter and Bill Gates, who is on our board of supervisors. And, frankly, that's not a place I want to be.

GLENN: Right.

KARI: All I will say, it's the same thing. They have slow rolled the results during the primary. Took them days.

When they finally -- when I finally got a tiny bit over, where I was beating my opponent. They announced it right then and there, to the headlines read, Kari Lake wins in a squeaker, with you know half a percentage point. Then they finished counting the rest of the ballots, which were all in my favor. I actually won the primary by five points. That's a nice win, especially when I was up against spending of my opponent spending 3:1 on me. She spent $30 million. So they want the story. They want the narrative to look like, there's no energy here. We have a massive movement. We have energy that if you could -- if you could somehow contain this energy, you could make you know the most powerful energy source in Arizona right now.

GLENN: Yeah.

KARI: None of that has changed. We're just waiting for incompetent people to do their job. And we're willing to wait. I will tell you this, when I get into office, it will be at the top of my list, on day one. We'll start to reform our elections, so we're not the butt of all jokes. And of our great, wonderful citizens aren't waiting for days, to find out who won an election.

GLENN: It's inexcusable.

KARI: It's inexcusable and disrespectful to the people of this great state. And we're not going to have it anymore. We're not going to have it anymore.

GLENN: Kari, best of luck to you.

I -- I think you've -- I think you're over the hurdle. If -- if, you know -- it turns out the way it usually turns out in these situations, for Republicans. That they have a lot more of the share on the final -- final polls, which I think is true.

KARI: Yeah.

GLENN: I can't wait to see you in office, and see what you're going to do.

There are three parties, I just. There is the Republican, Democrat, and the DeSantis kind of style of party. And you are -- you are part of that.

GLENN: Yeah. Well, we're going to do big things for Arizona.

I already am working. We have a transition team working to do big things.

I'm not going to slow down because Maricopa county can't get their act together.

We are moving towards governing this state. And I'm not going to slow down because they can't count ballots, and they're dragging this out.

GLENN: Do you have a result at all, on the attorney general?

KARI: Well, Abe, I think he just passed across from me. He actually announced that he's won, because he is now ahead.

GLENN: Okay. Good. Good. Glad to hear that. You can't about it in there without it. With somebody who wants to sue you from day one.

KARI: These are a big, big drop of ballots, that have yet to be counted. That are going to go our way. And I want people out there to know, that we will win this. And we will do great things for Arizona. And they have unfortunately, taken a lot of people, who are already pissed off. I can say that word.

And they've pissed us off, even further.

So we are even more motivated to do big things. And do them quickly.

GLENN: Yeah. Good.

Kari, best of luck. Thank you for stopping by. Appreciate it. God bless. Kari Lake, that's good news.

GLENN: There's a difference between a revival and an awakening. We are in a revival right now, but that doesn't necessarily lead to anything. Except, oh, I have to re-learn those principles. But that doesn't mean you apply them in your life. Okay?

That's an awakening. There's been two great awakenings in American history. One brought us the American Revolution. The second one brought us the Civil War and the freedom of slaves.

We have the possibility of going into a third great awakening. That's the only thing that will save us. If you don't know the difference between a revival and an awakening. Let me give you the negative print of a godly awakening. Our kids right now, they don't have any purpose. They don't have any meaning.

They look at everything, and it doesn't -- it's not real. None of it is real. It's money. It's fame.

It's -- you know, it's ever changing truths and definitions. And they have no purpose in their life. Okay?

So they're looking for that. Because man has to have purpose in his life. Man has to search for meaning.

So they're searching for meaning. And they found a group of people that actually mean something. And they're willing to die for it. And it's ISIS.

And so they're like, at least these people believe in something. They believe it. And they're willing to die for it. I'm going to stand with them. And they put that twisted understanding into action. That's the -- that is -- that's an awakening. It's just an awakening to the dark side. And that one is already happening. It has to happen on the good side. And let me speak directly to young men: Look, you are inheriting a very loud, angry, cynical and worst of all spiritually starving and malnourished society. And you are being sold a future of cheap pleasures and hollow heroes and screens with blue light that just rob you of your strength, one distracted second after another.

And in the middle of all that noise, may I just give you one piece of instruction. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, of good report or praise-worthy, seek those things.

Don't admire them. Don't nod at them. Seek them!

Hunt them. Chase them. Build your life around those things. A man who will do that. A boy. A young man who will do that, will become different. Noticeably different.

He will stop letting the culture feed him garbage. He stops applauding the trivial. He stops laughing at the obscene or cheering for the cruel.

He will become a curator of -- of real, lasting beauty in an age that has forgotten what beauty even looks like.

When other men are chasing down or holding up cynicism, this man holds up hope!

When everyone around him is chasing dopamine, he chooses discipline. When others will blame their circumstance, he'll take responsibility for his own action. When the world worships the shallow, he goes and searches for the deep!

You want to know what the secret of becoming strong is, or becoming trusted, or becoming the kind of man that your future wife, your future children, your future nation can depend on?

Here it is!

You become what you seek. If you seek trash, you become trash. If you seek virtue, you become a man of virtue. You seek excellence, and your life will begin to shine, not loudly, but steadily. Like the steel glow of a blade being forged.

That's who you'll be.

The world has a plentiful, seemingly never-ending supply of angry boys. We don't need any more addicted boys.

We don't need any more distracted boys. The world needs men. Whole men. Clear-eyed men.

Men whose souls are anchored to something higher than the algorithms, trying to own them!

Build a life worthy of admiration. Forget about the applause. Fill your mind with words that make you wiser. Fill your days with work, hard work, that makes you stronger. Fill your home with beauty that lifts every soul who walks into it.

Have your home a place where people walk in and go, man, I say so great here. I just love it here. I don't know what it is about your house. I just love it. It's the spirit that's there! Because you built it! You protect it.

Protect your integrity like a watchman on the wall. Don't lie. Don't cheat. Don't steal. And when you fail, and you will, stand back up again.

Because a man who seeks the virtuous, is not a man who never fails. He just -- he just becomes a man who refuses to stay on the ground.

If you seek things that are lovely and pure, trustworthy, praiseworthy, you'll become a kind of man this age almost never produces. A man whose very existence is a rebuke to the darkness.

That's your calling. That's why you were born.

Not to be lost. Not to play video games. Not to give up. Not to say, there's no hope. Not to end up in the trash bin of human history because you've -- you've taken so many drugs, you can't stand up straight anymore.

You're not destined to be alone.

You were destined for great things. You are destined to find an amazing woman!

Believe me. I didn't think I would ever find an amazing woman. Because I didn't think I was worth it. I didn't think I was worth it.

And until I started understanding how God works. That, yeah. I'm not worth any of the stuff that I have.

When you realize, it's all a gift. It's all a gift. And even if you work your brains out, you may not ever get all the things that you want. But you're going to have everything you need. Once you realize, carefully selecting friends makes a difference. My mother used to always say, show me your friends. I will show you your future.

It's true. Be careful who you select as friends. Watch your language. Watch what you're putting into your brain and what's coming out of your mouth. Because the brain is so amazing. It's being turned to mush. Did you know that there is a new study that just came out. I have to tell you about it next week, maybe.

New study going out. It is -- it's AI. And it has access to social media, and they have found that the AI -- the AI that is scrolling through social media all day, just to keep updated on everything that's going on in social media. It's getting brain mush. It's actually becoming dumber. It's become less effective!

It's a machine. What do you think this, flesh and blood, this thing is going to do?

We say life is meaningless. And life is the only thing that has any value. And yet, we spend all of our time, on things like social media. And that has absolutely no value.

But we think that's life.

I'm not that smart. I've just lived a long time. And I've made so many mistakes.

And I decided at one point, I'm going to stop saying, it's somebody else's fault. I'm going to start saying. Maybe -- what did I do to create that?

What did I do to attract that?

Why does this thing keep happening to me?

Why is it that I always find myself involved with these same kind of people?

Because, Glenn, dummy, it's you!

What you think, it's like -- it's like think of yourself as a -- as a beacon. It's just -- you're a beacon. Your GPS pin, that is constantly saying, here I am. Here I am. Here I am.

Except, it's transmitting more than just your location. It's -- it's transmitting what you're looking for, who you are. And it's attracting other dropped pins to you. It's saying, "I like this. I think this way. I believe these things. I am afraid of these things."

Whatever it is, you're thinking. It's constantly putting that out.

And saying, here I am. Is there anything else like that?

Anything else that can reinforce that? Anything else that can live like this?

Because that's me. Here I am. Here I am. Here I am.

That's why you keep finding yourself in exactly the same situations. Nothing will change, if nothing changes!

And the only thing that you can change, is you!

Seek the things, that have virtue.

Seek the things, that have beauty in music, in -- in art, in life, in architecture, in clothing! Whatever it is. Look for real, lasting beauty and value.

Find the things that are true! Truly true.

Universally true. Find the things that uplift. Seek those things!

And you will change your life and your world!
