The Charlie Kirk Show - Win Back Arizona! ft. Rep. Andy Biggs

Episode Date: August 9, 2025

Arizona went hard for Trump last fall, but it won't be real MAGA country until we unseat Katie Hobbs and win back the governor's office. The man to do that is Rep. Andy Biggs. In a recent speech at a Biggs rally, Charlie shows how Biggs breaks the mold of weak Arizona Republicans and will put Arizona in the cockpit of executing President Trump's crucial America-first agenda.

How great was Erica there? That's special, right? This is a very big crowd, considering the primary is still like, what, 16 months away? You know why? Because our movement will not slow down. It's bigger than an election. It's going to keep on going and going and going. It's bigger than just November. You see, the media, they're confused. They think, why are the crowds,

getting bigger. You know, we go to these college campuses and they go from 2,000 to 3,000 to 4,000 students that want MAGA hats and that are registering to vote and that are conservatives. And it's because this was never about an election. These elections are steps towards an ultimate goal. They are steps on a journey to take back America and make America great again. It is bigger than an election. Arizona has played a central part in that story. Arizona is where all the fun, the drama, the ups and the downs happen. The first ever Trump rally happened in Phoenix, Arizona.

President Donald Trump came up on stage. There was no such thing as a MAGA rally. He just came up on stage and started talking. And all of a sudden they realized they needed a bigger ballroom. It was at the Phoenix Convention Center. Who was there? Who was at that MAGA rally? Now, to be honest, I've seen a little bit of fibbing when people say.

It was kind of like being like, yeah, I was at the World Series when the Diamondbacks One. No, you weren't. You were watching it on TV. It's okay. We were all at the Maga Rally when Trump came to Phoenix because in some ways it was this larger than life experience where this guy talked about a couple issues that you were not allowed to talk about, specifically that our country was being invaded by a foreign power and our leaders were allowing it to happen. You were not allowed to say that before Donald Trump. You are not allowed to say that our sovereignty in this state was being diluted, was being destroyed, was being diminished, and they were supposed to act as if this was a good thing. In fact, the Republican leadership class of this state,

and you know exactly what I'm talking about of a generation prior, they told you it was a good thing. They said, no, it's great. It helps, you know, the golf courses run and the restaurants stay open. Meanwhile, a lot of your homes started to get broken in two, and your friends started all of a sudden be hospitalized because of DUI's. Is that Sheriff Joe that I see? The great Sheriff Joe. Stand up, Sheriff Joe. Let's honor Sheriff Joe. Is he not the greatest? And Sheriff Joe stood on that stage with President Donald Trump when few people would. And President Trump knew it instinctively, and all the Republican experts in this state were quick to go write op-eds and disavow President Trump's hateful rhetoric when it came to immigration.

You see, but what President Trump did was multi-fold, and we're living through some of the most exciting and transformational history, and you get to play a part, not as a spectator, but as a participant. So when President Trump was here at the first ever Maga Rally, he set forth a vision. 10 years ago, everybody, we are coming on the 10-year anniversary of President Donald Trump with the first ever Maga rally. And he put forward a vision. It's very simple. The people are in charge, not unelected bureaucrats. When you're invaded, you should stop it.

It's bad to make your jobs go overseas for no good reason. We're not going to declare wars that we cannot win for 20 plus years. And that we, as the American people, are going to take back our government from a bipartisan uniparty, Republicans and Democrats that are consistently lying to us and making the country weaker. He set forth that vision 10 years ago here in this state. Ten years ago. And this state has been the central player in the Trump story because this was the state where you had so many Republicans say, I don't support President Trump. But you know what was so good about that? we found out they weren't actually

Republicans all along they exposed themselves they were using the Republican label to get your vote they were using the Republican name to get your support but they weren't actually going to D.C. to go fight for your values. Jeff Flake

John McCain and they were going to D.C. And you were voting for them and you're like, wait a second, why is the border still open? We can't talk about that because it's racist. We can't talk about the fact that our wages aren't going up and that men that work for a living, that shower before work and shower after work that are forklift operators and waiters and that are driving

ubers, their wages are not keeping up with inflation and things are getting more expensive. Like, no, no, it's okay. It's actually the GDP is growing. And President Trump's like, no, that's actually a bad deal. And we'll fight for those people. And that journey was set. Every day we wake up inside a sea of signals and most of us never even think about the impact on our biology, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 5G.

these signals are all around us. And even though we can't see them, they can interact with our cells. Some researchers suggest that these signals can flip on tiny channels in your cells and let into much calcium. And when calcium builds up, it can cause stress and throw your body off balance. Magnesium helps keep those calcium channels in check. It's one of your body's natural ways of staying calm and steady. But here's the kicker.

When you're constantly exposed EMFs, your magnesium burn rate increases, meaning your body goes through it faster than usual. and most of us are already running low. To make things worse, many magnesium supplements only contain one or two basic forms that your body can't absorb properly. Magnesium breakthrough by bioptimizers are different. It's the only formula with all seven essential forms of magnesium, each one chosen to support a key area like stress resilience, sleep, and energy.

And it absorbs well so your body can actually use it. I take it daily and I can feel the difference, better sleep, calmer mornings, and steady your energy throughout the day.

You remember then, of course, President Trump on that triumphant night in 2016 when we beat Hillary Clinton. He did an unusual thing. When he won the president, I mean, we all remember that night. Was that not one of the greatest nights? And then he did something very unusual.

He actually did what he said he was going to do. He secured the southern border, and he cut taxes. He made the economy great. He gave the Border Patrol their support. There's Art Del Quartet. Art stand-up. Don't we? We have Border Patrol's back, don't we, everybody?

The Great Border Patrol. And we saw this unfold and we were so confused because we were used to politicians saying one thing, doing another. And we were kind of like really disoriented, like, wait a second, is he actually going through the checklist of everything he said he was going to do? And then the empire struck back. They spied on him. They took out Michael Flynn, Russia Gate. And all of a sudden this presidency that was roaring with the will of the American people was he had a fight for his life on a daily. basis. Every day he had to wake up and try to stop the leakers in his own administration and

stop the people listening to his phone calls and stop his own FBI from trying to take him out twice impeached, but he never gave up. And then, of course, Arizona, always a central player in the story. I want you to remember where you were on November 2020 election night. Hey, no, it's important to remember. Remember, the Bible says over and over, remember, remember, remember for a reason, because memory leads towards constructive action. And we remember what happened. All of a sudden, we're like, wait a second, why did you call Arizona after like 15 minutes?

Who remembers this? And you all remember that. And I was in the White House when that happened. It was just beyond perplexing and animating, and it pissed us off. And I hate to use that language, but that's what it was. Like, wait a second. State 48, the frontier state,

like all of a sudden, we're voting for it. that doesn't even know his own name? And then all of a sudden, Arizona became the central player. And we all know what was happening and all of that. And then they did not stop. The regime struck back. And many of the speakers you heard from here today, this current Attorney General, who's a disaster, by the way,

and we're going to get rid of her big time. I'm telling you right now, we're going to fire her. She's a disaster. Remember, the lawfare that they used. used against President Trump was tested and perfected here in the state of Arizona. They indicted our COO here at Turning Point Action, Tyler Boyer, because he was an alternate elector. Anthony Kern, I see many people, and they're still facing these charges right now. And the Arizona grassroots, you guys had a decision to make. And here's where the story continued

and continued. Because last November, despite every name they called you and they tried to take out President Trump. He was facing 700 years in federal prison. They tried to kill him twice, and only by the grace of God, that bullet skimmed an ear, and he was able to rise and say, fight, fight, fight. They tried to take his business empire away from him. They try to ridicule him and humiliate him. And all of a sudden, despite switching candidates and we all of a sudden had a run up against Kamala Harris. And we were told she's the most popular person ever. And apparently that there was like this packed crowd in Glendale. Like, wait a second, who are these people exactly?

You decided to tune out the noise from the mainstream media and stay disciplined and stay focused. And Arizona was the best performing swing state this last November. Out of all seven swing states, a nearly 200,000 vote victory for President Donald Trump. I used to think I knew what I was getting at the grocery store until I found out that over 4 billion pounds of meat were imported into the United States just last year. and it can still be labeled like it's from here. And that had me questioning everything. Like, what am I even eating? And if the labels can say product of the USA,

when the meat's not even raised here, what other labels are tricking me? That's when I started looking for something I could trust, and I found good ranchers. All their meat is 100% American, raised on local farms, and delivered right to my door. And the quality truly incredible.

Welcome to the table. It felt so amazing and so vindicating, didn't it? All of that was worth it because the 20-20 for election was about so much stuff. It was about inflation, about the border, but it was also about who's in charge of the country. Fundamentally, that was the question. Who runs the country?

Does James Comey run the country? Does Valerie Jarrett run the country? Or do the American people run the country? And that was what this last election was about. And Arizona just happens to be the place where all of this is happening. And here I'm to tell you today to remind you, to encourage you, the story is not over. The story continues.

What started here in Arizona back 10 years ago is still continuing because if it's just about getting Trump elected as the president, Don't get me wrong. Praise God, Almighty, it happened. And it doesn't materialize in our own home. Then that's just a short-lived moment. But we're here about building a movement. And that is why we are here today and why we at Turning Point so decisively are going all in for a true conservative.

Because it's time for us to not just make America great again, but make Arizona great again and make Andy Biggs the next governor of this great state. And that is exactly why Donald Trump has endorsed Andy Biggs, because Andy's been a fighter on the border. Andy has been a fighter on every major issue. Andy is unafraid to challenge leadership and not just go with the flow. And boy, do we need that here in the state of Arizona? Because President Trump is fighting hard.

Look, Border Patrol, they're doing amazing job. We've got to get finding more stuff to do. There's no one coming across the border anymore. I get these messages from Border Patrol agents. They say, look, my Tetra score is very good, but I'm kidding. But we went from 10,000 people a day. How many people a day is it now, Art? It's like none. It's a ghost town.

But you know what? Make no mistake. Right now, as I'm speaking, there are thugs, there are gang members, there are rapists, and there are bad hombres here in this city that Katie Hobbs is protecting. And they're coming in your neighborhoods. They're coming to Glendale. They're coming to Mesa. They're coming to Chandler.

They're coming to Gilbert. I am not fear-mongering. You all know a story of a home invasion, a break-in, a young girl on a college campus, and it is preventable. But Katie Hobbs floated with the idea of making the state a sanctuary state. Day one, day one, when Andy Biggs says, so help me God, Andy Biggs will pick up the phone and say, Mr. President, how can I help get every illegal out of the state of Arizona? Day one. Day one. is understand that mass deportations, which we voted for, does not happen if you do not have harmony at the state and the local level. We can fight in the courts and we can fight and all that stuff.

But imagine the potential of this state if we had a governor that was willing to work with the president of the United States, that was willing to actually pick up the phone and work with Christy Nome and pick up the phone and work up with Border Patrol. Instead, it is a constant battle. It is a constant fight. And this is, again, goes back to a fundamental question, which is that this state is, for all of us, our home. I grew up in Illinois. Who else grew up in Illinois? Anybody?

Yeah, Crook County, exactly. Fun thing about being from Illinois is we have term limits in Illinois. It's one term in office, one term in jail. It's unlike most states. And my grandmother passed away. She's a lifelong Republican six years ago, and she's been voting Democrat ever since. So if you think elections are bad here in Arizona, go to Chicago. But I will say Chicago does count their ballots quicker than Maricopa County.

So it's true. We're going to fix that too, right, Justin, we're fixing that. Justin Heep, he's doing a great job. Justin's fighting hard. He's doing great. But this state is the best of America for so many reasons, which is that almost everybody here came here for a reason. There are, of course, Andy Biggs' family has been here probably for five or six generations. Tyler is like a ninth generation Arizona before air conditioning. However, I came here

because I saw the best of America. It was not a place like Georgia, and I like Georgia or North Carolina, but you know what happens when you go to Atlanta? They say, well, you know, what college did you go to? Who's your dad? What family do you come from? It's very ancestral. It's very like where did you come from? It's very protective. And then all of a sudden I showed up to Scottsdale. I show up to Phoenix. People say, well, what do you do? And I like that question a lot more, because this state's about doing stuff. This state's about building. This state is about building families and building businesses, building communities. You see, this state is so unique. Only in Arizona are you able to experience the 110 beautiful sun in July. As I always say to Andy, praise God for the heat

because it keeps the California libs away. I'm telling you right now. I'm telling you, it builds character and it builds strength and it is the greatest repellent of San Francisco purple-haired migration imaginable only in Arizona you able to experience that and then in the afternoon go to the Grand Canyon and see God's majesty go up to Page Arizona go to Payson go to Prescott go down Well, you have to go to Tucson. We'll talk about that later, but you go to, I'm kidding. I'm kidding. We're going to make Pima County great again, right? We're going to make, I'm kidding. We love all the parts of Arizona. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I'm giving you a hard time. Ask 10 people to define the word capitalism. How many different responses do you think you'll get? This is a word that comes up all the time, but does anyone know what it really means? Do you? Hillsdale College offers more than 40 free online courses. That's right, free online courses on subjects like the book of Genesis, the rise and fall of the Roman Empire, the history of the ancient Christian church.

It's hard for me to even say, which is my personal favorite, you guys have got to take these online courses. They've recently launched a new course, understanding capitalism that I've been watching. In seven lectures, you'll learn about the role of profit and loss, how human nature plays a part in our economic system, why capitalism depends on private property rights, the rule of law, and above all, freedom. and why capitalism is ultimately a system that encourages morality rather than undermines it.

There's something special about this state, and it's not a coincidence that all the drama unfolds here,

that, oh, we're 10,000 votes shorter, 18,000 votes short, or 20,000, it just seems as if everything matters more in the state of, Arizona. And that's one of the reasons why we've picked Turning Point to be the headquarters. Understand, turning point, we could be anywhere. We could be in Denver, we could be in Atlanta, we could be in Charlotte, we could be in Miami. We have the pick of the litter of any city in the country. And we have decided consciously to double and triple down on this state, because this state is home. And this state is the state where I am raising my kids. Because there's this unique opportunity here. Don't tell

Byron Donald's this. And don't tell anyone from Florida. But this is going to be the new Florida. We're going to make Arizona like Florida. We're going to make it more conservative, more free, lower taxes, and no humanity. We have so many

untapped assets in this state. We have land that could be developed. We have an incredible AI boom that is ready to happen. We have entrepreneurial people. We are now seeing this happen in real time. Understand in 2020, we had about 100,000 more registered Republicans and Democrats in the state. Now, as Eli Crane said, it's nearly 300,000, 330,000 more registered Republicans than Democrats in the state. This state is getting redder. However, despite it getting redder, this is the wake-up call. That's why this journey

continues. We have five big problems in the state, and it's not going to happen in one year. We have a Democrat governor. We have a Democrat secretary of state. We have a Democrat secretary of state. We have a Democrat Attorney General and two Democrat senators. And let me tell you right now, we at Turning Point Action Turning Point Pack are ready to go, one, two, three, four, five, and run the gauntlet. One, two, three, four, five. And it's only going to happen if we do the work. Because we have this alignment, a state that Trump wins by 200,000 votes, all of a sudden we have two Democrat senators and we have a Democrat governor and secretary of state. We're going to make 20,000. 26, too big to rig. And we're going to do it every single year. And that brings us to my friend

Andy. Because what I love most about Andy is that, as was said previously, he could be doing anything. This guy is disciplined. He is focused. And what do you want as a politician? More than anything else, you want an astronaut? Let me give me a break. No. What you want, what I want in my governor is I don't have to worry. I don't have to worry that he's going to flake out. to some sort of influence, some sort of lobbyist, because Andy picked the biggest fights in D.C. And he's been consistent, and we know it. He has been a tried and true conservative

when the heat was the most intense. And also, I believe in a contrarian way that if you actually want to win the governorship in 2026, if you nominate a moderate, a lot of people are not going to stay at home. If you want to keep this Trump movement going, we need someone that is more like President Donald Trump and the MAGA movement, not just another, like, well, this person can win a straw poll at the Paradise Valley Country Club. That's fine. That's great. Go run for city council. We want a conservative as the governor of Arizona. I'll say this in closing, everybody. As I travel the country, when I come back to Arizona, I always have a smile.

face, the beauty, the grandeur, what God has blessed us with in this state, the people and the community, it is larger than life. This election is a long time out. This is unusual, kind of doing a rally like this, this early, but it's necessary. You know why it's necessary? To set the record straight. It's necessary to tell the story the right way. Because if we just kind of sat in our laurels, even though the election was like seven months ago, and we allowed a different narrative to be formed, well, then all of us, honestly, we would see this beautiful state and this moment slip away from us. Instead, we have a very clear goal. We want to make this, Arizona, the model for the rest of the country.

The grassroots are on fire, and that means this summer getting involved and knocking on doors where appropriate. It means this fall, this winter, support Andy in any way you possibly can. Donate five bucks. Host a fundraiser. Host a friendraiser. Get involved with turning point action. Get involved with turning point pack. And then it culminates to once he wins the primary, which with all of your help he will,

then we need to have every energy focused together to defeat. what might be America's most unimpressive and worst governor, Katie Hobbs, and retire her as governor of this state. It is a, and I want to say thank you for all of you that pray for us a turning point, that support us, that understand what we go through from the death threats to the backlash, to the censorship, to the condemnation, it's all worth it. Because this 10-year journey that we have been in that started at the Phoenix Convention Center, and now I look at you guys in the Biltmore, which is another chapter we're all going to remember, is the ride of a life. It really is.

And together, we stay focused, we tell the right story, the narrative is straight. On election night in 2026, it feels like a long time away. But boy, it's going to be here just like this. We are going to be celebrating that my friend, Andy Biggs, is the next governor of the state of Arizona. Thanks so much for listening. Everybody email us, as always, freedom at charlacirk.com.
