====================
*This transcript was auto-generated. Please excuse any typos.
So last week, as some people may have heard about, uh, Kari Lake, the failed Republican gubernatorial candidate from the 2022 Arizona election had a run in at the airport with Morning Joe hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brazinski. And while she says that Joe Scarborough himself was amiable, right, he was friendly, she says that, uh, Mika Brazinski, of course was, was a little more confrontational, and she didn't like that. So what Kari Lake did was immediately go run and cry to Steve Bannon, where she complained about the fact that Brazinski actually called her out to her face, something that Kari Lake is simply not accustomed to. So let me explain what really happened here. Kari Lake confronted Joe Scarborough and Mika Brazinski in that airport. She was hoping to intimidate them. Here's what she said. Um, I just wanted to, you know, put the human being behind the face that you guys kind of go after.
Uh, she said, I just wanted to introduce myself because you guys spend an awful lot of time badmouthing me on your show. But I just said, look, you know, I'm the human being behind the person that the human being behind the person that's, it's a little redundant, gonna not gonna lie, I mean, but okay, but she continued. You guys like to bash 24 7, and that's okay, but I just wanted to introduce myself. At which point, a caring, according to what Kari Lake said, Tomika Brazinski, well, you're a liar and you're an election denier and, you know, went on and delivered Delusional in all of this, according to Kari Lake's interaction, which Mika Brazinski, by the way, did record. She was holding her phone there to record it. Um, so again, Carrie Lake goes and cries to Steve Bannon about this. How dare they, how dare she treat me this rudely and call me a liar to my face instead of doing it from the safety of her studio?
Um, not gonna lie. Like, that's actually pretty ballsy. Like, that's really cool that Brazinski did not put on a fake face when she saw you in person. Like, that's, that's the mark of somebody who's being honest and genuine when they're willing to say the same thing to your face that they say from the comfort of their own studio. Like, you shouldn't be mad about that. I mean, if anything, uh, Brazinski should be applauded for not backing down when you approached her in order to intimidate her, because that's your goal. Whether you wanted to admit it or not, you're like, I just wanted to put the face to the person behind the person, which again, makes no sense, but nothing
Carrie Lake ever says Makes sense. But here's the other reason she did it. And she, she did admit this. Of course, she then, after this confrontation offered herself to come on Morning Joe on Ms. N B C to, to tell her story. So you just wanted to get on TV again. You wanted to be on real tv, right? You didn't want to have to be relegated to crying on Steve Bannon's war room, which is what you were doing here. You wanted to make it to the big leagues, right? You wanted to get back on cable news. So that's why you confronted them. One, you wanted to intimidate 'em. Two, you wanted to get them to invite you on their show, which as far as I know, has not happened, thank God. But this is what Carrie Lake is all about. She wants to be famous.
And at this point, she is. Let's, let's be honest, but she's more infamous than than famous. But that's why she did it. She admit, like I wanted, I want to go on your show, bring me on your show, put me on real TV so I don't have to talk to this disheveled Steve Bannon every day. But I'll settle for that too, because I'm so desperate to make sure my face is in front of a camera. That's who Carrie Lake is. And I'm also glad that this encounter showed us a little bit more about who Meka Brazinski is, cuz I'm not gonna lie, I got a lot more respect for her now because she called Carrie Lake out to her face. Something most of us can only dream of doing.
