he was trying to persuade us he won arizona and everyone knows he won arizona. he continued to claim the election had been stolen from him and there was widespread fraud, the evidence for which has never surfaced or been produced. it was a revealing capstone to our investigative reporting process. by the time we went out to hear what he had to say, we talked to 140 people worked closest with him. we had a good sense of where the reality was. host: did you challenge him on what is aides and friends and cabinet secretary told you? guest: in that interview, we often let donald trump talk and tell us his view. we want to do here his worldview. there may times we said, sir -- there was not hugging and kissing -- he argues that many of the protesters during the capital january 6 were part of a loving crowd. we definitely questioned him. the purpose of this interview was to hear him. it is a little jaw-dropping, the way he is committed to this alternate vision, the way he has hardened his inner narrative so that it has no correspondence, no morning to reality or fact.

host: news from arizona central on this topic -- " arizona said that they need more material from maricopa county, suggesting that the senate's review may be nearing its end. fann said during a hearing at the capital that she expects the demands for additional materials will end up in court, setting up another legal battle in the saga that has seen the country and state lawmakers spar over the scope of the legislature's subpoena power. also during the hearing the senate's top contractor on the review recommended reviving plans to go door-to-door to inquire about some residents' participation in last year's general election." caller: glad to talk to you. my concern is over black lives matter, what they had to say about the demonstrations in cuba the day before yesterday. i think it was around us. -- i think it was horrendous. host: how do you feel about the demonstrations in cuba, bob? caller: i worked with a lot of cubans. i had a cuban neighbor in chicago. they are wonderful people. these people have condemned them. it is horrendous. host: is the u.s. government doing enough to support th

arizona is one such case where you could be able to provide cooling. even though people are spaced out and you could also have a network of people helping so in our case we have had all sorts of community members step up including a utility company. long-term solutions provide cooling spaces along the way. to provide cooler spaces and handle long-term mitigation adaptations. >> thank you so much for your comments, and i will yield back. >> the chair recognizes mr. kyl mr. kilby for five minutes. >> thank you, for holding this important hearing. i've been toggling back and forth with lots of things going on today so if my question is redundant, i apologize. over seven years ago in my hometown, a water crisis emerged. my hometown is flint michigan. the children were affected by the crisis and exposed to high levels of lead that poses significant health risks particularly in their development. what was not as well-known in the water crisis that there was an outbreak and as a result of the crisis. michigan again is experiencing a surge. the michigan depart

he also talked about the supreme court ruling on arizona voting rights. this is 15 minutes. pres. biden: let me begin by saying that the creative cooperation between local, state, and federal officials down here has been remarkable. i want to thank our fema director for their effort. governor desantis, senator marco rubio and scott, congressman schulz, mayor, they have all cooperated in ways i have not seen in a long time. it is really a testament to how difficult things are down here. it is what, quite frankly, we miss a lot. we have all been working in tandem from the moment we got the news of the collapse of the building. i think my colleagues will tell you, we cut through the bureaucracy, the one order i gave, the federal folks, was no bureaucracy, just cut through and get to what they need. that is why we decided to cover 100% of the search-and-rescue costs for the first 30 days. that is necessary here, in my view. and fema is going to provide temporary housing and other urgent needs for the device -- survivors. state department are expediting visas for family members from ot

we saw a law of that nature in arizona passed by republican-controlled legislature, upheld by the supreme court this week. so these are very controversial issues. republicans are trying to make sure that the rules for voting are stricter. democrats are trying to make sure that as many people are able to vote as possible. there are some tensions, of course, between ballot access and ballot security. but as i mentioned in that piece, one of the reasons why the debate is as heated as it is is that in each case, the parties i think perceive themselves to be getting some kind of advantage by having the legal regime surrounding voting that they prefer. republicans believe that if you tighten up some of the protocols that we saw in the 2020 election, that they would win more races, possibly given that the presidential race really came down to fewer than 45,000 votes, remaining battleground states. from an electoral college perspective. the democrats believe that the greater the turnout, the greater their chances of winning. clearly they are pretty happy that joe biden has 81 million votes. that

we should all congratulate the arizona gop because they had an historic victory in the supreme court. [applause] think that her president trump and the supreme court who have upheld election security laws so that hopefully in 2022 we will have across the country a secure, free and fair election, which is all we expect. but the democrats are going to fight tooth and nail to strip the states of all local control. but we have to be united as conservatives and republicans to make sure that every election is free and fair. in free and fair elections, we win. this lie is a complete lie from biden down. they believe if you have any election reforms, we are racist and trying to oppress voters. it is a complete lie. we have to stand up and say the democrats are lying. voter id is not racist, it is common sense. [applause] preventing ballot harvesting from duck -- drop boxes, it's not racist. preventing illegal immigrants from voting is not racist, it is common sense. the democrats corrupt politicians act as an assault on free and fair elections and erodes state safeguards that are going to mak

going to be in that is senator joe manchin a senator from west virginia and senator kyrsten sinema from arizona since they are the most moderate democrats that biden needs to pass that reconciliation. they will have a few -- they don't want a huge liberal package, they want something more targeted. for a senator like joe manchin, west virginia, i have not checked the stats, but there is not that many nature -- major cities which are bearing the brunt of this type of increase in violence, it's a rural state so i'm sure he is under less pressure to put in more background check laws and try to take illegal guns off the street. i'm sure that reconciliation package will have more funding for cops and making sure that they reform as well, because you don't want the repeat of where african americans in our country feel like the police are targeting them with george floyd and countless other instances over the years. they are trying to figure out exactly what's in that infrastructure package and how much money they should spend on childcare and other soft infrastructure because they have not finished t

adrian is -- adrian fontes served in maricopa county arizona. approximately two thirds of arizona's population from 2017 to 2020. his position was most recent in a long list of his service to his community and country, from 1992 to 1996 he served as -- on active duty in the u.s. marine corps. we thank you for that service. he earned a nomination meritorious commission, after being honorably discharged she received a bachelors degree from the arizona state university, before continuing on to the sturm college of law at the university of denver. after law school, he served as a prosecutor with the denver district attorney, worked in the maricopa county attorney's office, then headed the form prosecution unit at the arizona attorney general's office. in 2016, he was elected to the office of the maricopa county reporter where you served a four-year term, implementing national award winning systems and procedures to improve accessibility and security for maricopa county elections, even amidst the immense logistical and personnel safety challenges pos

let's look at what's going on in arizona. a bill just was signed talking about critical race theory. it lets look at what's happening there. arizona governor signed a bill preventing local government -- governments from teaching local -- critical race theory. for him it's the state and any local government from inquiring -- forbids state and any local government from inquiring -- from requiring their employees to engage in orientation, training or therapy that suggests an employee is inherently racist, sexist or oppressive whether consciously or unconsciously. the measure comes as critical race theory becomes the latest flashpoint in the culture wars. the theory which is decades old examines the impact of racism on history and maintains that racism is systemic. republicans have used the term critical race theory as a catchall for teaching racism with some panning the bill as discriminatory. let's go back and talk to darrell who is going to jackson tennessee. garo -- darrell, good morning. caller: good morning. the problem is

he found arizona to have had many alternative ways of getting your vote counted. he also said that the disparate impact approach, provisions that can be shown statistically to have a greater impact on minority voters, this impact being the way that fair housing cases and other kinds of discrimination cases are sometimes evaluated, that was not appropriate for this type of case. he thought that the -- she was much more concerned about discriminatory intent than discriminatory impact. he said it was important to look at the context that voting regulations have in the 1980's when the voting rights act was modified to update section two to its current language. keeping in mind what the voting provisions were then, that was a time when people tended to cast votes in person more so than now. it was also a factor to keep in mind. all of those things taken together, he said means that arizona pot regulations are permissible. dissenters took a different view. justice kagan said the totality of circumstances you should be looking at are the totality of certain circumstances

let me give you one example of the northern arizona forest fire. here's an area where the community agreed -- agreed, there was a collaborative group that wanted to get in and do restoration. one of the projects in the roof was a salt river project, and they were extremely concerned that if a fire came in, it would take out there watershed and ruin the municipal water supply. they were willing to invest money upfront to move this project forward. it wasn't only the utility. phoenix joined then, even coca-cola joined in. other recreational businesses joined in. they wanted to get the stuff done, start paying people to get more people on the ground doing this work. it is that type of project and understanding what the benefits are and how we can provide the benefits and get people the help, help to move these projects forward is what will really require what i call sustainable management. i mean long-term care, which is what we need to ensure that we have healthy forests for us in the future. >> for those public-private partnerships, are those gettin

i was in arizona recently and i was able to visit a school where there wasn't another school for miles and miles and it just seemed like we needed to make sure that they had everything they needed to be successful. a lot of that is broadband and making sure the devices are working and that they have access to the same. so those conversations with those educators and mayors involved trying to build an infrastructure that can withstand what we've experienced before and making sure we look at the digital divide in the rearview mirror soon because the american rescue plan is the infrastructure plan that can provide $100 billion in infrastructure which the students need. the internet isn't a lofty thing anymore. the device and the internet as needed. it's a required tool for learning so we have to get past that idea. it's on us to make sure that they get it. the funding is there and the urgency is there. one of the things the pandemic has shown us or has exposed, the inequities and the gaps that are there and i just wonder when it comes to that kind of access, was the access even more sever

host: our first guest is david gantz, with -- a professor of law emeritus at the university of arizona. anchor for joining us this morning. guest: my pleasure. host: we are under, when it comes to trade concerns, something called the u.s. fda. it is the one year anniversary. could you remind people about not only what the new trade agreement is, but what brought on its, i guess, what led to it being created? caller: a number of forces there. basically this is a revised version of the north american free trade agreement that was in effect beginning in january, 1994. that agreement was negotiated in 1991 or 1992 and in many respects was seriously out of date. there also was a lot of political opposition to nafta on both sides of the aisle, and the previous administration, some logic that a new version would be attractive to a wide swath of members of congress, members of the public as well. host: some of the specifics of the usmca, ordinance for cars and trucks, protection for property, it would strengthen labor and environmental protection, would have protections for financial instituti

in arizona, wisconsin. in georgia, it was recounted three times. it's clear, for those who challenge the results and question the integrity of the election. no other election has ever been held under such scrutiny, such high standards. the big lie is just that, a big lie. [applause] the 2020 election -- it's not hyperbole -- is the most examined and the fullest expression of the will of the people in the history of this nation. this should be celebrated. an example of america at its best. but instead, we continue to see the example of human nature at its worst, something darker, more sinister. in america, if you lose, you accept the results, you follow the constitution, you try again. you don't call facts fake and then try to bring down the american experiment just because you are unhappy. that's not statemanship. [applause] that's not statemanship. that's selfishness. that's not democracy. it's denial of the right to vote. it's a process and subjugates the denial of full and free and fair election -- and fair elections, the most unamerican thing t

arizona could not point to any voter fraud to justify its challenge laws. a study of the 834 million ballots cast in elections between 2000 and 2014 found only 35 credible allegations of in-person voter fraud. by contrast, there are voluminous examples of proliferating racial discrimination in voting during the same period. in short, this unscrupulous decision disregards the purpose of section two and, it erektsz -- and it erects an indefensible barrier for plaintiffs, simply because a majority of the court fundamentally disagrees with congress's use of its enforcement powers to legislate broadly to protect the right to vote from racial discrimination. it is nothing short of an attempt to rewrite and weaken section two, resulting in incalculable costs to our democracy. since the disabling of section five, section two has been the primary defense between --primary defense against discriminatory vote denial and abridgment. since 202012 alone, we filed five cases under section two and two more this year. in the first five years following shelby, an unprecedent

we are going to arizona and people are protesting. we have to challenge all people. i do not care if you are republican or democrat. if you are standing on the side of the nonconstitutional filibuster, and blocking us from passing constitutional voting rights or expansions, and you are standing on the side of a nonconstitutional filibuster and blocking everyday people who work hard, getting a minimum wage that increases to living wage, you are wrong. it is constitutionally inconsistent, morally indispensable, historically inaccurate, politically mistaken, and economically insane. that is what we try to let people know. we are as comfortable in the hollers of eastern kentucky as in the delta mississippi, as we are in california to the carolinas because people in this country, by the way, that is 60 million white people below wealth, 60% of black people, ready percent of white people that in round numbers, most people are white women and working and the disabled. we have to challenge that. that is why people are doing civil disobedience. over 100 women from around this

we focused much of this work in states including alabama, arizona, florida, georgia and texas. state with some of the lowest vaccination rates. across june, vaccination rates in the states grew faster than the overall natural national vaccination rate. so we will stay at it -- overall national vaccination rate. we will get vaccines to more and more family doctors so americans can get a shot at the doctor's office. we've already nearly doubled the number of medical practices, with tens of thousands of family doctors now administering shots. we will build on this progress and work with pediatricians and other health care providers to serve younger people and push to get younger people vaccinated as they see their doctors for back-to-school checkups or get physicals for fall sports. we will also intensify our efforts to bring vaccines to her many people spend the most time during the week at workplaces and on school campuses. at the same time we will work with communities to get more shots in arms. we are also mobilizing covid-19 search response teams to provide additional support

that bill was just signed into law in arizona. let's talk to darrell who was calling from jackson, tennessee. darrell, good morning. caller: good morning. the problem that we have is critical race theory is a law school concept taught about how politics affects, how the law affects the political nature of this country. what we are talking about is high school. this is much too complex. what we are doing now is trying to deny the racist history of america. the fact that slaves were not happy, the fact of reconstruction was worse for black people then slavery was. jim crow laws that happened to black people, -- jim crow laws, lynchings that happened the black people. we have the government sponsored segregation. we have brown versus the board of education. we are just trying to deny everything and what we have to do is have honest conversation and find out what really happened and what we can do about it. host: we would like to thank all of our viewers, callers, guestst critical race theory at 8:00 a.m. tomorrow morning. later today

fox news reported way ahead of biden winning arizona. they obviously knew they one --wonm --won arizona. who gave that order? that's what i would like to know. guest: there was no order for the media to report this one way or the other. [no audio] guest: news organizations, fox news technology to protect winners and get it right. the entire rotations of news organizations on these decisions not only to be first but to be correct. without getting too far deep in the weeds here, the projections, trends, how many ballots our last that are left, a lot has been written on this. these news organizations go out of their way to explain their methods and procedures for making these calls. host: a question for you on twitter. going back to your description of being called into the white house for an interview with the president. they say "you are a general desk journalist. i couldn't think of a bigger component to give a person makes a living covering today's political scene. were you more worried about being or being in the middle of a frenzied r

that is what they are doing an arizona. the second thing is that he say the voting as sacrosanct and so they we should protect. i agree. in pennsylvania when the government to the voting laws at the last minute, bypass the state legislature which the constitution says that the state legislature is the one that passes the voting law. how did that happen? you may not know this, but vice president pence could have sent the votes back to pennsylvania. he got one from the state legislature and one from the governor. the state legislature's -- just later is the one who has the right to oversee election. host: we will let our guest respond. guest: it is not quite as simple as that in terms of the legislature. i take your point that the governor of pennsylvania did change the administration of the voting laws. where the line is between the administration authority that belongs to a governor or secretary of state and the rules for voting as prescribed by the legislature is very important. let me go to your point about voter fraud. t

speeches -- was at the funeral of the 19 granite mountain hotshot firefighters, when the prescott, arizona, fire department got clobbered. that tragedy happened eight years ago today. that's the reason i mention it. it's hard to remember -- of all the costs that firefighters risk when they do their job and their bravery to step up and do the job. now, traditionally, federal firefighting has been a seasonal job, but because of climate change -- and i know you all know it, and i hope your constituents know it: there is climate change -- it's no longer a seasonal job. this is a year-round mission. so we've made sure seasonal firefighters can stay on the job, as long as they are needed this year, by allowing them to work beyond their term. and for next year, we're working to make more than -- of those positions, permanent positions so -- so that when fires aren't burning, we have a workforce of experienced hands enhancing our forest management, reducing the risk of future fire in the future fire season. second thing: we are harnessing new tools and technologies to better identify and respond b
