The Daily Mail confirmed with two sources that the identity of the other speaker on the recording was DeWit.

A transcript by the Daily Mail of the exchange is below:

"Just say, is there a number at which...." DeWit started.

Lake cut in: "I can be bought? That's what it's about."

"You can take a pause for a couple of years. You can go right back to what you're doing," DeWit said.

Lake repeatedly said she wouldn't do it for millions of dollars or a billion dollars.

"This is not about money, it's about our country," she said.

The Arizona GOP didn't immediately respond to requests for comment.

If your angry and want to makeup names and say bad things about someone, pick a demonrat.. There are plenty of them out there that need to be called out.. Remember R. Reagan 11th commandment.. :)

The correct words are 'you are' sometimes used in the contraction form ... 'you're'.. NOT 'your'.

So . . . a person's vote for DeSantis was part of the worldwide deception of the Last Days? Meanwhile, this emissary of Satan has been obstructing LGBTQ whenever and wherever possible?

What part of Christ warning ‘’ Remember Lot's wife”, do you not comprehend? It is satanic to blame Donald J. Trump for sodom’s renewal ... Donald J. Trump was NOT in elected office in Texas when the abortion and later same sex marriage went up the line to the black robed supremes ..

Duh-Saintis is NOT opposed to same sex anything ... he puts on a good act ... but it was the legislature that did the heavy lifting .. Time will tell IF the black robed judges overturn his signed legislation...

You Duh-Saintis groupies are fickle and easily deceived. How about that legislation that Duh-Saintis got for his own bank account ... and him hiding his travel and phone records ... yeah baby, quite saintly./

Incoherent ramblings. Attaching the Lot prophecy to this is utter foolishness.

Hmmm...Is this a bribe or an offer??

Attempted bribery, a felony. If he talks, others are in jeopardy, too. That would be the interesting part.

“... She was successful in the news business for decades. ...”

What does that actually mean?

Did she actually run it as a business?

A little complex for ya? Let me help you out, for over 2 decades she was a daily news reporter and news anchor for multiple news stations in multiple states. This opposed to DeSantis for example, who's only private sector job was working for 1 year as a school teacher for a bunch of adolescents.

So, ignoring your gratuitous insult you define success in the news business as being on TV.

I’m not against her, I hope she wins her Senate seat.

What do you think of your traitor/snitch/blackmailer today? Did she secretly tape Trump? Oops, you didn’t think of that one. She’s crazy, among many other bad attributes.

Lake repeatedly said she wouldn't do it for millions of dollars or a billion dollars. "This is not about money, it's about our country," she said.
Where are those on Free Republic who were bad mouthing Lake?

I'm a big fan of Kari Lake, but she knew she was recording the conversation, so anything she said has to be looked at in that light.

She did the country a favor with this though.

Ok I’m confused!

1. Was this conversation a phone recording?
2. Does she have the original recording? If this was done at her home, it might be of better quality then any phone recording. Given her infotainment background she might have the skills to make a high-quality recording. That is to her advantage when releasing the recording to a third party to prove it’s not “artificial”.

She needs to release the recording to a honest broker third party for analysis.

Thanks for asking. I think she's wonderful and will make a great Senator.

You're butthurt because Lake exposed the nasty corrupt Republican insiders who are attempting to manipulate our elections? And you call Lake a traitor?

Project much?

Nice character ya got there slick.

Who said I was picking sides? This isn’t the Lions vs the 49’ers. I find them all morally repugnant. But I wouldn’t bet on the Donna Quixote of Kraken. You aren’t sending Mrs. Smith to Washington.
