Republicans gathered in Dallas last week for the first ever midterm convention. There's a lot going on, especially with 9-11 right after that. And we didn't get a chance to get into it too much. But we had our very own surgery, Ariana, who happens to be the AZ-GLP chairperson. And he is in the center ring. And I just wanted to talk to you again, Sergio. We talked to you as a thing was kicking off. I wanted to get your take on what you saw at the midterm convention. Did the president of Decision to hold this? Was it a good decision? Were they right or was it a waste of time? James T. Harris, first and foremost. Happy birthday, my friend.

3:07Oh, thank you so very much. Thank you so much. I heard that the entire room erupted for you sitting in. I don't know why they were seeing you, but hey, you deserve it, my friends. Thank you, Bert. Thank you very much. Appreciate that. As far as the midterm convention was at a waste of time, you know, I still remember what Aaron was saying. And so we kind of use all on football. And we can only take him half serious because he's a 49er fan. Right. Thank you. We'll leave it there. But they did. We have to guess. But here is, I know, I guess the Cardinals. Come on, get out of here. Let me tell you this. The second night for me was huge. It was humongous because there was some buzz. There was energy in that arena. It was completely different from the first night. People were energized. They were hyped. Head crews came out and got one of the biggest pops of the night in my opinion. The arena was loud, proud. And of course, it was his home state of Texas. So it was very motivating.

4:07The angel parents had every person in that room crying, James. It was crazy to have the mom detail her experience about her daughter and how illegal immigrants impacted her family. And then of course, RSK came out and talked about how the Democrats moved away from him and that they're hurting themselves. And everything that Trump stands for, even if it is a democratic platform, the Democrats turn away from it and just basically move on to the extreme. Even Marcel. So I think it was an overall success. People were energized, motivated. There was a heckler in the crowd for Vance. I mean, it just got wild. And it was a phenomenal time. So it was not a waste of time. I think he gave us great talking points, good clarity. And hey, maybe there's some money in the future and the future if we win. Well, I did hear a rumor that the Arizona Republican party just laid out over a million dollars for ads. For Andy Biggs, is that true?

5:08Ah, James, you know rumors. But this time it's right. Yeah, where you know, where the ad buy we made is about 1.7 million of that 1.4 came from the Arizona Republican party through a political action committee contribution. And I can tell you, James, that we've been proactively approaching PACs and we made the case for investing in Arizona. And it's because of our strong standing with donors and the grassroots that we were able to get that significant support. I'm hearing from grassroots that the commercial, they're seeing commercials now over the weekend. So we're alleviating those concerns. We worked really closely with Andy Biggs and his team to target and get these resources where they're going to have the biggest impact. I said from the beginning that we're not raising money to admire the bank balance. We're raising money to win elections and Katie Hobbs and the Democrats have spent millions trying to define this race. And Andy Biggs before the Republicans could respond, but guess what, James, we are firing back. So if people are wondering when the Arizona Republican party is getting involved, I have a simple answer.

6:11Turn on your television, the ads are coming and that's what I promise this chair. Boy, you know what? I've seen some of the ads or when that's running is pretty good. I mean, I was like, yes, more of this, you're in the counter the lives of that Katie Hobbs is a big tax cutter, you know, all that kind of stuff. So who really believes that she's hearing the border is that group? I get out of here with that. That's why we're all well, we're okay. We know that because we deal with this every day. But I guess, you know, you see these ads, you're wondering, my gosh, is she really getting away with this? I'm glad to hear that we have some counter ads that are going up. We have Sergio Ariano in the center ring. He is the AZ GOP chair. You know, at the convention of Sergio, we saw you all over the news sitting with secretaries, Rollins and Secretary Kennedy. I just want to know, how did you manage that? Oh, man, you know, that's a wild story.

7:13You know, I was supposed to be sitting in there with President Trump. So the whole plan was that night that I was sitting in the family box, get to talk to the president. He wanted to hear from Arizona, obviously, what we're doing. And that's what it was meant to be. But Trump being Trump, you know, he couldn't wait any longer. And he actually subverted JD Vance, went up there and gave the whole two hours steal that night. And, you know, I'm not going to complain, you know, when Donald Trump moves around and changes seats, because it turned out better for me. And I got to speak to all the, pretty much all the cabinets and highlight Arizona. So it was more of a mistake, but I'm not going to complain on that one, because you're sitting through. You look pretty good. I just have to say, you know, it's sitting between the secretaries here. I'm like, oh, look at you, Sergio. Okay. Well, listen, people are excited. I was out at the AZ free summit over the weekend. There was a thousand, a thousand people in the room. They are energized.

8:13They are ready to go. They want to know what they can do to help the support Andy Biggs. I told him, make sure you get out and vote and take everybody you know out the vote. But again, they're itching to see more of an exposure of Hobbs record. And more of what Andy Biggs can do as governor. And you know what, James, thanks to you and everyone else out there that's working in the same direction. We're doing that. And it's going to get more intense and you're going to see more money flow. The pockets are opening up. You're going to see a lot more from the party. You're going to get boots on the ground here next in the next two weeks. We're going to be targeting all the statewide, all our legislative districts. We are in force in math. Last night Saturday's event, all those thousand people reached out and started the majority of reached out and started asking how they can volunteer and get involved. So big kudos to you. And again, congratulations and happy birthday. Well, thank you very much. Asterial Ariana, my friends, AZGOP chairperson warning.
