The people who stand up to the storm are the ones who go down in history, not just in this world, but in the heavenly sphere, as the true successes in life. Agree?

It’s not about having the most toys.

It’s about fighting the good fight — win or lose.

And that includes election integrity.

“Why would a Republican, of all people, not want to restore faith in our elections? … We have to address this at this moment or we won’t have a country,” said Kari Lake, in context of discussing her ballot fight from her recent Arizona contest. 

The “Unafraid: Just Getting Started” author also suggested Tucker Carlson’s exit from Fox News underscored the problem with corporate media, and then explained why she counts Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump as among the greatest presidents for a patriotic America.

“I became a Republican because President Reagan was the president of my youth and I absolutely adored him, he was my idol,” Lake said. “He brought this nation, which was so broken under Jimmy Carter, [together] under patriotism.”

Trump, she said, was a similar disruption.

“[Trump] came down the escalator and he shook that uniparty to the core,” Lake said. “America First is the only way out of the mess we’re in.”

Hear more of Lake in this episode of Bold and Blunt.
