Failed Republican gubernatorial candidate from Arizona. Carrie Lake has pretty much predicated her entire election challenge on conspiracy theories. But this week during an interview with a right wing host, Pete Santilli Lake was actually pushed goaded into accepting even more crazy conspiracy theories than the election theories she has already been putting out there. Let me read you this exchange. This is absolutely wild, and it's obvious from reading this, that Lake didn't want to buy into this guy's conspiracy theory, but she's so desperate for attention that eventually she gave in and was like, yeah, you're right. So here it is. This is Pete Santilli saying this. I will raise a trillion dollars for any candidate, including President Trump and yourself that says, ladies and gentlemen, this is a CIA coup. This system is so corrupt and the courts have been corrupted. The leaders that come out and say, let's launch a counter coup through the system, let's rally together.

I'm saying, we've got a CIA coup. Let's not have a bake sale. In response, that was my criticism of you. He said to Carrie Lake. Carrie Lake responded. What you're saying, I'm absolutely sure is probably true. I'm absolutely sure that it's probably true, and I haven't looked at all the evidence, but nothing would shock me anymore. Centi then said, all I'm asking is this an overthrow of the United States of America by this entity? You know the Intel services, we already know the FBI has been involved in it. The Central Intelligence Agency. Are you courageous enough to say this is a coup and we need to counter it in the fashion that we're doing? Then Lake responded, but I think you left one of the most damaging entities out of that, and that is the fake news. The mainstream media has been lying to people for so long, prevented us from speaking about 2020, except for the brave ones, lied about the laptop, lied about Trump, lied about everything.

Santilli at this point started to get a little frustrated because it's like, yeah, you're kind of agreeing with the CIA coup that is allegedly taking place, but you're, but you're not agreeing enough. So he pressed her. He said, you said that the mainstream media, the cia Mockingbird Media is complicit in that. It's a coup de tie and we need to respond to it accordingly as a counter coup deta. And finally, lake, in response to that simply said, yeah, so Carrie Lake, as bad as she is a as many conspiracy theories about the 2022 midterm elections as she is pushed, she wasn't willing to go far enough to be like, yep, it's a CIA coup. That's the reason I lost like the entire intelligence apparatus of the United States somehow banded together to stop this. Nobody from winning the Arizona governor race. Yeah,

Even she didn't buy that, but she got pushed. She got goaded and eventually she was like, yeah, yeah, I guess, all right, I'll buy into it. Whatever I have to say to keep my face on television, to keep my face on the podcast, to keep my name out there, I will agree to it because I am so desperate for that attention. That's what we just, uh, uh, heard with Carrie Lake in that little back and forth that I read. This is an individual that is so desperate, not just for the power of that office.
